Once you do empirical research like Scorpienne did you might have something to say, otherwise its just your subjective impression without any objective point to it.
Hope its clear to you now, what subjective and objective means.

I think the F2P will bring in a good amount of players and it will eventually stabilize at a much higher pop number than it is right now.
A lot of new games have just come out / are coming out (GW2, TL2, WoW Expansion, DOA5). Once the newness of these titles wear off, it will be near the F2p period of TOR and I think a lot of people that were initially hesitant and/or didn't like might give it a chance again.
The hype for the game was unprecedented and whenever this happens it usually takes a good amount of time for peoples' expectations to come back into check. The bigger the hype, the longer it takes for the turnaround.

You are pulling the North American server Overall Change figure.
First off, right off the bat, that is not a percentage. That is the change in aggregate server status for the North American servers over a 2 week period.
The way Tor Status works, approx. 3-2.8=heavy, 2.8-1.8=medium, 1.8-1.1=light 1.1-.98=dead
The .02 number isn't valid because it ic counting the High Population Public test server as a .99 addition to server report status.
So right off the bat, your number is now -1.2.
Also those few incresed (green) server report changes are due to server merges,
As you can see that list you are citing still has the newly closed (origin round 2) servers in the list.
The whole number is out of whack till the new ground base can be set in about a week.
This is the only real useful data from TorStatus at the moment, http://www.torstatus.net/shards/us/trends for the North American Servers. And even that has to take into account the server merges on Sept. 18th. (which is reflected in the chart.)

Hey OP
Again, you seem to be glossing over that SWTOR just underwent another server merger.
All data indicates that SWTOR has continued to lose population.
TorStatus, X-Fire, and even Scorpienne's population survey.
They all indicate that SWTOR has lost 20% of population since GW2 has come out.
Since the server merges didn't redistribute the remaining population evenly, you might be on a high population server, but that doesn't mean everyone else is.
Every day there are threads opened on the SWTOR Forums with people begging for the 3 APAC servers to be merged due to populations measured in the tens. The same goes for North American server Jung MA.
Jung MA is especially telling, because SWTOR consistiently reports it as standard despite it's very low population; indicating that these new Mega-servers still have individual population caps.
Futhermore, several of the new Megaservers have gone form Very Heavy, to full with log-in waiting queues.
This indicates that the new Megaservers aren't really Mega at all.
All empirical data indicates that SWTOR shut down 6 servers, and now has 16 servers with decent populations. The standard servers around 800-1500. The heavy servers with 1500-3000. Also are 1 dead server in Jung Ma, and 3 dead servers in Australia.
Nothing indicates that the population is growing.
Nothing indicates that the servers are Mega.
Calling a server Mega without any explanation to any sort of technolgy that has increased it's cap doesn't make it Mega.

If I had a penny for each time someone on the TOR forum saying "people had unrealistic expectations".
You know, starting nearly ten years later with half the mechanics SWG had is not smart. They should have known TOR will be compared to SWG, and people would expect basic features from SWG to be in TOR.
A kind of modernized, polished SWG2 plus Bioware story.
You call modernization of 10 year old features high expectations?
We got WoW in a Star Wars setting, I don't know exactly who wanted that, but certainly not me.

Your telling me that by that math only 48k people are playing at a given time during this period. Even less of those are subs because of the trial accounts.... some of that data is incorrect as it is because there are now currently 20 servers not 16. The leaving players may be just getting replace with new players and so on and so forth.

It's annoying when people say they logged on and saw x number of players and try to make projections off of it. The other night, I was driving on a section of route 40 and only encountered 5 cars during that time.
Under the snapshot projection fallacy, these people would project that 35 people use that road per week, and call for a shutdown... even though the reality is that it was a 2 mile trip at 3am and cars were constantly getting on and off that road. Tens of millions use route 40 a week, but these armchair projections are just plain stupid.
They are even less accurate than just plugging numbers into a random number generator, which says a lot about how bad they are.

Bioware didn't lie about what this game was gonna be a lot of people lied to themselves. People pumped up their expections by comparing it to SWG themselves when if they paid attention would have known before they bought the game what it was gonna be.....
Your average MMO with star wars lore and story. No where was SWG2 with Bioware story was promised.

By their own data SWTOR is not a financial success; EA said they needed 1M subs if they were to recover their investment and they never hit 1M subs (highest was 1.7M of which "just about half" were subs0.
SWTOR also needed 500k to make a day-to-day profit and it is reasonable to assume that EA's projections showed the game falling below this. The probable reason for their 500k - 1M number being the likely drop off in 6 month subs coming up for renewal is August / September.
Going forward they must have expected subs to slip below 500k. In the short term EA could have spent lots more on advertising but it gets harder and harder to push a game; those who haven't bought or tried SWTOR by now will need lots of convincing.
To reduce costs EA opted to cut back on the size of the team. Smaller team = less new content = less happier subscribers.
So they have rolled the dice and gone F2P. It should get some new players in but it is a risk as they may lose many of their remaining subscribers.
EA have given presentations (available on the EA investor webpage) in which they have said that the majority of people who play F2P .... for free! And if Zynga's experience holds about 95% will pay nothing. Put another way if they get 1M new players 950,000 players will pay nothing. Of the other 50,000 most will pay very little. Zynga data suggests most pay only a few dollars.
All on 20 servers.
EA's plan is probably centred around cutting costs - heavily - and retaining enough subscribers to cover these costs. Any F2P money will then be "extra". Fine line however. Cutting costs means less content = less reason to subscribe.
Problems: 1. churn amongst F2P players - big problem with F2P games; 2. server capacity - at least until churn kicks in; 3. longevity - getting those 250k (or whatever) subs and long term F2P players; 4. what to offer by way of micro-transactions.
If they don't keep hold onto subs however then the only solution will be further cost reductions - and less content to justify a subscription. Vicious circle. They will gloss over it of course. Fear not our new team is going to produce content even faster. There will be weekly releases. Rejoice! Today green dye. Next week red. The week after white.....
And 20 servers suggests that costs have been cut a long way already ... maybe expecting new dye colours might be a bit much ...

You can add up all of the pluses and minuses on the page and come up with a number. That number is not complete, however, due to the fact that they list the servers based on load percent, and not on actual numbers. You're additionally assuming that all servers have an equal player base here, which is just wrong.

No, its an awful MMOs. It fails at being an MMO AND a singleplayer game. It has no audience, no reason to keep playing. The story is bad, the quests are bad, the combat is bad, the world is bad.

SW:TOR had one of the most enjoyable leveling experiences I've had in an MMO in a long time. Problem is, there wasn't (and still isn't) a lot to do at level 50 unless you are interested in doing warzones. Bioware I think was banking on people playing through all eight class storylines, which most people aren't interested in doing. If there was more to do at level 50 I would be still playing it, and I'm sure a lot of other people who quit would also be doing so.

My take on SWTOR, I know, everyone has an opinion on it.
The game they released was and still is a lot of fun. I truly enjoyed it. Once you get to max level, it's merely the same'ol same 'ol. You raid for gear so you can raid for more gear and raid for...well... you get the point. There are a ton of other games out there that do this as well.
So, I made an alt, got him to max level, and another and another. So now I have four characters at max level and have no intentions of raiding. So where does that leave players like me? Either PvP'ing all day or farming with no reason why, other than...raiding... After years and years of raiding and always having my Star Wars game to fall back on when tired of raiding, having SWG gone, well, yea, I know, unreal expectations and all. At least I'm realistic about it.
I love the game, and had a blast with it, I also played SWG from release up until after the NGE, they are not the same game and I never wished they would have been, but... EA needs to step back and let their companies actually make the games. Front the money for production and then stay the hell away, they ruin everything. Granted Bioware needed a few lessons in trying to break the mold, which they apparently did not do.
If they released more Sandbox'y elements to it, such as, player housing outside of ship, or more custimizable ships. The ability to buy something outside of the story mode that let your character be just that, your character and not the same jo-schmo jedi guardian that everyone else has, it would be fun. Hell, make it the option to do what SWG had, own something that you could take pride in, anything, really.
Oh, and a Jump to Light Speed expansion, that would help... (Yes, I read the speculatory thread on that one)
Most of the people bashing SWTOR as a failure are people reading the forums and jumping on the bandwagon to bash the one that almost was while he is down. Reminds me of High School, seriously. The attitudes you find on these forums seem like kids straight out of school.

Remember Rabbids cant play MMO's, but they can dance!
SWTOR is only failure based on an individuals evaluation of the game. The game is still running and I still enjoy it. Not a failure to me.... Nuff said.

"I thought he hated this place," White said when he was asked Saturday whether he was interested in the fighter. "I don't know, man. I don't think so."
Daley, who this past week was released by Bellator MMA, took to Facebook soon after to erase any doubts of his desire to return to the promotion.
"Given the opportunity Dana, I would be right back in there, please just send me that contract," he wrote.
White, however, is skeptical.
"I heard he couldn't get a visa," he said of the English fighter. "And they're real strict here now on visas. I thought he hated the UFC and said he'd never want to come back here and never wanted to fight here again. What changed?"
For one, Daley (33-12-2) is a free agent. A Bellator rep said the promotion released the fighter when it was discovered that he was convicted of assaulting a police officer rather than cleared of charges, as he had previously stated.
Three years ago, White released Daley from his contract for assault of another variety an illegal suckerpunch to Josh Koscheck after the final bell rang in their fight at UFC 113. (Daley was also given a 30-day suspension by the commission overseeing the bout.)
For a while, it looked like the hard-swinging fighter would never be back inside the octagon.
"I know there's a lot of people that are fans," White said three months after the incident in August 2010. "Dude, that was one of the I don't even know how to put a word on what that kid did."
White also took note when Daley said he was doing just fine without the promotion.
Later, though, the executive seemed to soften his stance on Daley.
"Any guy who loses in the UFC or other promotions, you lose, and you go get some wins somewhere else and come back," he said more than one year later. "I'm not a fan, to be honest."
That, of course, was when Daley was 2-2 in a four-fight stretch and had lost a bid for the Zuffa-owned and now-defunct Strikeforce welterweight title. As of late, Daley has won his past four bouts, all by way of TKO or KO, though he's faced sub-UFC competition.
White wasn't aware of that fact when asked whether he might take another look at Daley. That could change things, or maybe not. Daley's style likely won't keep him on the shelf for too long.
"People will always want to see him, wherever he goes," his manager, Wad Alameddine, told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "Whether relies he on that a bit too much for my liking is one thing, but wherever he goes, he'll keep doing what he's doing, and keep knocking people out."

Ask for Help
I asked, "In Jasmine, how do you spy on a constructor?" Suppose you have a constructor called
Widget. Saying
spyOn(window, "Widget")swaps out the real
Widgetfunction with a spy. The real
Widgetimplementation takes its prototype with it, which means that Widgets created while the constructor is spied on don't get the methods a
Widgetwould get. That's true even when you spy with
spyOn(window, "Widget").andCallThrough().
Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to stub out object construction and return an object of your choosing. In Rspec in Ruby you can say,
.newis a class method. But in Javascript,
newis a keyword which always creates a new object. I'm guessing there's no good way around this, but if there is one, we could really use it.
Update: This is, as it turns out, entirely incorrect. Jasmine's
.andReturn()does let you stub constructors properly. I still have no idea how this works. See the comments for more discussion.

Todd notifies us that in ActiveRecord, dynamic finders with too-few arguments fail silently. That is, if you say,
Person.find_by_first_name_and_last_name_and_email("Todd", "Persen")
and fail to specify a value for
nil. That means that the finder will look for someone named "Todd Persen" with a
nilemail address. You might have meant that. More likely, you made a mistake. AR should probably check the number of arguments it's given against the number of columns in the finder name.

Arnold Livingston (10/22/50–7/14/12)
Arnold Livingston of Warren, son of the late Melvin and Pauline Kirchheim Livingston, passed away as the result of an automobile accident on Saturday, July 14, 2012.
Arnold was born in Troy, New York, on October 22, 1950. He graduated from Geneva (NY) High School in 1968 and attended Monroe Community College in Rochester, New York. While he spent years as a New Yorker, he felt more of a connection to the Green Mountain State and particularly to the Mad River Valley, which has been home to generations of the Livingston family. Arnold was an avid outdoorsman who appreciated the area's natural beauty, and he knew the Long Trail and local woods, mills, camps and brooks since he was a boy.
Arnold began work in The Valley, as many do, in the carpentry and ski business, working for the Garmont ski boot company. After taking over his Uncle Ernest Ralph's property in Warren, Arnold quickly established himself in the area's emerging restaurant circuit, working as a bartender and a host in restaurants such as The Common Man and The Phoenix. Many knew him as the "Host of The Valley" and he was known for his gregarious good humor.
In his later years, Arnold was perhaps best known for his work as a maple sugarer, and he owned and operated a tree-tapping and sugarhouse on his property. He was known for giving tours and demonstrations of sugaring to visiting tourists and locals, and he was especially fond of showing young children the art and skill of the sugaring craft. Many of these children still remember Arnold's sugarhouse and all that he shared and taught them.
Arnold also loved dogs, and he devoted much of his life to caring for them. He didn't just take care of his own dog—and best buddy—"Sparky," but all dogs. Livingston served as the Warren Dog Warden, because he learned from his father that "all animals have a right to live," his sister Carol Twentyfive said, adding that in her house she tells guests that if they are afraid of spiders they should use the upstairs bathroom because a spider is living in her downstairs bathroom.
Arnold was predeceased by his brother, Bob, who passed away in 1972. He is survived by his sister, Carol Twentyfive, and her husband, Lenny Jackson; his beloved nephew John A. Twentyfive III; his niece, Sharon Strong; and his "other family," the Johnsons. He will remain in the hearts of his longtime friends, JR and Janice Vogini, and special second cousin, Billy McShane, who visited Arnold frequently. And while "Sparky" will miss hiking the Long Trail with his favorite traveling companion, he has found a new home with Carol Twentyfive.
There will be a celebration of Arnold's life at the American Flatbread Pavilion on The Lareau Farm from noon to 3 p.m. on Friday, July 20. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Central Vermont Humane Society, P.O. Box 687, Montpelier, VT 05601 (802) 476-3811, www.cvhumane.com.
To send online condolences visit www.perkinsparker.com and Facebook. Assisting the family is the Perkins-Parker Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Waterbury.

Ashley Ridge freshman Zak Butt had the top score at the 2013 Class AAAA State Golf Tournament.
Butt carded a 214 to claim the individual state champion honor for the tournament held at Furman Golf Club Monday and Tuesday. He was the only player to break par for the tournament.
Butt trailed Riverside High School's Jonathan Hardee, an Alabama commit, by three shots entering the final round but fired a 69 to win the tournament. The Swamp Foxes' final round included five birdies to just two bogeys. Ashley Ridge coach Chris Shaw said Butt's birdie on the difficult 17th hole, a par 4, sealed the victory.
"I'm extremely proud of Zak and his accomplishment," Shaw said. "I have never seen a kid this mature and so determined to be successful. He is a very special kid and I have no doubt he will do great things in the game of golf."
South Aiken High came from behind to finish with a team score of 922 and win the tournament. Boiling Springs held the lead but after South Aiken's surge the Bulldogs' 925 score was only good enough for runner-up honors.
Ashley Ridge (936) was right in the mix but just didn't have enough depth in the end to make a charge. The Swamp Foxes placed fifth overall.
Fort Dorchester (981) placed 10th and Summerville (986) placed 12th.
Fort Dorchester's RJ Keur finished third overall in the individual standings with a 219 total at the 54-hole event. Ashley Ridge's Austin Zoller placed sixth with a 223 total. Senior Sam Myers led Summerville with a 264 total.
Butt, Keur and Zoller all made the All-State Team.

I really love this app. Yes, it is beautiful. I love it for all the reasons above. There is only one major flaw as far as I am concerned: there is no way to leave yourself a voice reminder. I miss AskSandy when you could call into a number and say, "call bill smith at 10AM Monday January 15" and it was inserted into the app and you got a text and/or email reminder 30 minutes before the event. This is seriously missing in most apps these days. Doesn't any one else want to leave themselves a voice reminder w/o having to type it in? Like when you are driving or walking?
otherwise guys, this is a great app.
Todo for iPad - app review
Appigo's Todo for iPad complements their existing Todo for iPhone app very well and if you already use Todo for iPhone, you will be quite pleased with the iPad version. If not, you'll certainly appreciate Todo for iPad on its own merits.
One of the first things you will notice is the aesthetic; Appigo went for a traditional three ring binder look and feel. You can change the color of the binder, paper and rings in the settings menu. Appigo promises more themes in a future update.
Outside of looking pretty, Todo gets the job done just like its iPhone cousin. You can create a your standard task, project, checklist, contact or website. If you are a Getting Things Done (GTD) user, you will be happy to know that @contexts as well as tags are supported. Holding the iPad in landscape gives you full view of all your task information. On the left side you have your lists, Inbox, Starred and Focus list. Let's discuss this in a little more detail.
Inbox is where tasks go that you have not assigned to a list yet. They just kind of hang out there till you move them, they can stay there, it is all up to your own workflow. Starred tasks are a way to flag a task. I use this functionality to star any items I want to do today, regardless of due date. Focus list allows you to create a dynamic list based on filters. Maybe you want to only see tasks with a due date of one week from now. You can do this with the Focus list.
If you are like me, you have a bunch of tasks you have given an arbitrary due date to, and inevitably that date slips. You can very quickly and easily move these items to another list, simply reschedule or reassign to a context in bulk with Todo.
For me the biggest benefit with Todo is online synchronization. Sure you can sync via Wi-Fi from your desktop with iCal, but for me it has to be the ability to sync with the excellent free service Toodledo [link]. I have used all of the other major task apps that sync and currently they all sync via the desktop through Wi-Fi. This can be very frustrating for me. During the day I may add a task only on the iPhone, complete a task on the iPad, but there is no way to merge them together till I get home. By Appigo partnering with Toodledo, I get free over-the-air (OTA) syncing and web-based management of my tasks from any web browser when I am not near my iPhone or iPad.
I find few faults with this application and I am so glad it is finally available. The functionality and price cannot be beaten. Checkout the video and pictures below!
[$4.99- iTunes link].
- Beautiful
- Themes
- OTA syncing
- Bulk editing for time and lists
- Different types of tasks (project, contact, etc.)
- GTD contacts and tags
- Search tasks
- Slow startup time
- List colors don't sync from device to device

Mk... yes, Jott did that but got too expensive for what I was getting and it gets too complicated having a third party app that is not really set up for it. I use ReQall with Todo now but it only leaves a task and not the date or folder or time. I have to come back later and log in and then edit it. Does Jott work with Todo? can you tell it time/date/folder now? I am hoping that Todo would actually figure out a way of having it all in one app. N
great review, but who won the giveaway? I'd like to win a free copy, as the iPhone version just doesn't cut it on the iPad. don't get me wrong, it's nice, but when you show such a clean, HD version like this, it's no comparison. keep us informed!
I couldn't wait for the giveaway any longer I just purchased it. It really is amazing! My question though is obviously it shows the task but how/can it show the task details und the task? I can't seem to figure out how to view the details other than clicking on the task and then the text is squished.
Darwin kind of missed the point; the nice thing about the iPad is you can have your notebook, and your novels, and your textbooks, and the meaty parts of your laptop, without lugging all of those with you.
I, too, would like to see a voice memo feature built in, and maybe also an additional "page" in the notebook for calendar/true "day planner" items. I love what it does, but was a little disappointed that it wasn't more of an "iCal" style app.
great review. ipad apps are really maturing nicely.
During download a diagnostic message says I can only proceed with download form my computer (my ubuntu can't)
So, looks like linux can't buy this app.... Any valid reason for that?
Hi, actually i'm recently using a new ipad to-do app called Beesy, and i want to share it in this post because it's seems to change my way of work for sure, discover the web site : http://www.beesapps.com/beesy-ipad-to-do/
Good article
I use Beesy as note taking and ToDo apps. I'm very satisfied
The difference is Beesy is more a professional app. You can take notes with a business way, and can automatically generate an efficient ToDo list with different tools (tasks) from this app
If you want to try it google Beesy or the website is http://www.beesapps.com/beesy-ipad-to-do/

Separation of Employment
- Retirement
- Position Abolishment/Layoff
- Terminating Employee Checklist
- Separation Benefits
Returning University Property
- The appointee through resignation or retirement with reasonable notice;
- Mutual agreement of the appointee and the appointing authority for promotion, transfer, or voluntary disability leave; or
- The appointing authority.
If a continuing, unclassified, unrepresented employee's appointment is being terminated, they will be notified at least 90 calendar days prior to the termination date established in the notice. The appointing authority of the unclassified employee is the informing agent. In an instance where the appointment was issued for a specified term, no notice is required and the last day of that term will be the termination date of the employee's appointment. ( Policy 3342-6-05)If the employment of a classified, unrepresented person is not being continued, they will receive a letter of termination and will have an opportunity to appeal the decision to the State of Ohio Personnel Board of Review.
Employees who plan to resign or retire should prepare a letter of intent to retire or complete, sign and provide their supervisor with a Notice of Voluntary Resignation form, which may be found in the HR Forms Library ( www.kent.edu/hr/forms). Upon receipt, the supervisor or designee should initiate the Notification of Voluntary Separation (NOVS) Workflow available in the MyAction Items tab in FlashLine.
Retiring employees should prepare a letter of intent to retire or complete, sign and provide their supervisor with a Notice of Voluntary Resignation form, which may be found in the HR Forms Library ( www.kent.edu/hr/forms). Upon receipt, the supervisor or designee should initiate the Notification of Voluntary Separation (NOVS) Workflow, available in the MyAction Items tab in FlashLine.
A classified civil service employee may be laid off due to a temporary lack of work or lack of funds expected to last less than 12 months, or as a result of the abolishment of a position. A lack of work, for purposes of layoff, means a department has a current or projected temporary decrease in the workload which requires a reduction of current or projected staffing levels. A lack of funds means a department has a current or projected deficiency of funds to maintain current levels, or to sustain projected levels of staffing or operations. Abolishment is defined as the deletion of a position or positions from a department or the university for lack of continued need for the position or positions. An abolishment is expected to last more than 12 months.
Upon termination, the supervisor should complete the Terminating Employee Checklist to assure that all university property has been surrendered and security accesses have been deleted. The Checklist can be found in the Resignation and Separation section of the HR Forms Library at www.kent.edu/hr/forms.
Compensatory Time
All accrued compensatory time will be paid to an eligible employee upon termination of employment at the employee's regular rate of pay at termination. ( Policy 3342-6-07.9)
Sick Leave
An employee who transfers from one public agency to another, or who is reappointed or reinstated, or who transfers from one state department to another, may transfer the unused balance of accumulated sick leave, provided the time between separation and reappointment does not exceed 10 years.
Upon retiring from active service with the university after 10 or more years of service with the state, an employee may elect to be paid for one-fourth of their accrued, but unused, sick leave, not to exceed 30 days. This payment will be based upon the employee's rate of pay at the time of retirement. Upon accepting such payment, all sick leave credit accrued up to that time will be eliminated. Such payment will be made no more than once to any employee. ( Policy 3342-6-11.1)
If an employee dies while actively employed by the university, and had 10 or more years of state service, payment for one-fourth of the accrued, but unused, sick leave to the employee's credit will be made, not to exceed 30 days. This payment will be based on the employee's rate of pay at the time of death. The cash conversion of unused sick leave credit shall be paid in accordance with section 2113.04 of the ORC (release of decedents' wages without administration), or to the estate of the decedent. ( Policy 3342-6-11.1)
All medical, dental and vision benefits will terminate at the end of the month in which employment ends. COBRA is a federal law that enables eligible individuals to continue the current medical, dental and vision coverage that was available from the employer after eligibility for the employer-sponsored plan has ended. Contact the Benefits Office (330-672-2901) prior to your last day at work. (Refer to the Benefits Chapter, Leave of Information Section for additional information on COBRA.)
Individuals who elect this continued coverage are required to pay the entire premium for coverage up to 102 percent of the plan cost (established by the insurance company) directly to the insurance company.
This coverage may continue for up to 18 months for employees or up to 36 months for dependents and is available for terminating employees, divorcing spouses, or children who reach age 25 while still covered. Information about how to purchase COBRA benefits will be sent to an employee when there is a termination of employment.Life Insurance
Individuals may convert their employer and employee paid life insurance to a personal whole life policy. For more information, see the Booklet for Standard Life Insurance available under Life Insurance in the Benefits Forms and Information Section of the HR Forms Library.
Retirement Plans
An ARP (Alternative Retirement Plan) participant may request a rollover of their account, or the provider may distribute the entire vested account to the participant (an ARP participant's entire account balance is 100 percent vested). Please contact your ARP provider for complete guidance in requesting a distribution or rollover.Vacation
Resignation, Retirement
Upon termination of employment, the employee will be paid for any earned, but unused, vacation leave to their credit at the time of separation, up to the maximum amount of vacation which may be earned in a three-year period. Such payment for unused vacation leave will be made in a lump sum. The employee will not be carried on the payroll for the purpose of liquidation of the vacation balance. ( Policy 3342-6-11.7)
In case of death of an employee, unused earned vacation leave, up to a maximum of that amount of vacation which may be earned in a three-year period, will be paid in accordance with the provisions of section 2113.04 of the ORC. ( Policy 3342-6-11.7)
Employees who are laid off, terminated or resign from their employment at the university will cease to be eligible for tuition benefits. Employees must have active service of not less than 30 days in the semester of their termination or reduction of hours becomes effective to be eligible for tuition waiver for the complete semester. Any periods of active service less than 30 days will either constitute removal from classes through university exit or payment of the full semester tuition. Persons in temporary layoff or furlough status from a seasonal position will continue to be eligible through their layoff or furlough periods.
Tuition benefits will be continued for spouses or children of employees who die while actively employed full-time at the university as long as the employee has at least 18 months of continuous service and was eligible for a survival benefit, or an employee who is retired on disability from OPERS or STRS. ( Policy 3342-6-09.1)
Tax-Deferred Annuity (TDA)
Upon termination of employment, a participant may request a distribution of his/her account, which is 100 percent vested, although other options may be available. Please consult your TDA provider for complete guidance in requesting a distribution.
Upon terminating employment with the university, employees shall return all company property (keys, credit cards, books, equipment, passwords, etc.) to their immediate supervisor. Failure to do so may result in withholding of the employee's earnings, vacation and/or sick leave conversion. The Terminating Employee Checklist ( www.kent.edu/hr/forms) is available to aid this process.

"Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an often fatal disease that affects pregnant women who are near delivery, and it occurs more frequently in women with pre-eclampsia and/or multiple gestation. The aetiology of PPCM, and why it is associated with pre-eclampsia, remain unknown. Here we show that PPCM is associated with a systemic angiogenic imbalance, accentuated by pre-eclampsia."
"...plasma samples from women with PPCM contained abnormally high levels of sFLT1."
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v4 ... 11040.html
"The study has harnessed significant causal evidence and arrived at a powerful argument that PPCM is a two-hit disease, with the first hit being the antiangiogenic environment of late pregnancy and the second hit being something as yet undiscovered that leaves women susceptible to cardiac damage, possibly an infection or genetic predisposition."
http://www.bidmc.org/News/InResearch/20 ... _PPCM.aspx
This study isn't about pre-eclampsia per se, but since pre-eclampsia is mentioned and we have had some posters who have suffered from PPCM I thought it would be good to share.

Hi all,
A little background: I experienced PIH and then PP pre-e 2 1/2 years ago when I had my first (and only) baby. I was put on bed rest for the hypertension around 36 weeks and then was induced due to high blood pressure at 38.5 weeks. I had pretty high BP (150s-170s/90s) when I was induced and was given mag before being induced. I did not, however, have the proteinuria associated with pre-e. I had a rough 3-day induction and hours and hours of pushing. My daughter had breathing issues when she was born. She was born Thursday and we weren't released until Saturday. We had to go back Sunday to check her levels for jaundice and she was readmitted to the NICU for her jaundice. While there, I noticed my feet and ankles were incredibly swollen and also I started to see flashing spots in my vision. I went and took my BP and it was about 213/110. I told the nurse and she called my OB who told me to get down to the ER and then he would readmit me to the delivery floor. They did and I was put on mag again. While on mag, I began to pee a TON. I lost 28 pounds (all I gained) in 1 day of urinating. I lost 12 L of fluid (they were measuring). I was put on labetolol twice daily for 6 weeks. At that point my doctor felt comfortable taking me off.
Since this I have only taken my blood pressure about 4 times at home and every time it has been normal. However, I have panic attacks to this day about my BP and am terrified to take it. I thought I have finally conquered my fear about a year ago as I took it consistently at home over a 3-day period and it was always normal. But then I went for my annual exam to my OB and my blood pressure was 170/95 and the nurse flipped out and took it again a minute later and it was 149/85. She said it was better but still high. I do get nervous when I go to the doctor but that first reading just reignited my anxiety over this. I feel like I should go buy a blood pressure machine and just know once and for all if my blood pressure is normal, but I am terrified of what will happen if it isn't. Logically I know this will involve going on BP meds but I am so freaked out about the doctor seeing it being high and sending me to the hospital (I have always had a fear of hospitals as well). So I am suffering pretty severe anxiety over this whole thing and have been for the past 2 years. I am just finally reaching out to see if I am the only one this has continued to affect for so long. I feel really alone in this as my husband says "You're fine now, nothing's wrong. You need to just stop." He doesn't get it. Just needing some support I guess.

Many people may think that, but they are so crazy. I'm glad to meet many other "freaks" like me who love SK and his books. Here is something that happened which you might find intresting from stephen king. I found it on http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/...s_1006443.html if you want more information.
Im in the supermarket one day with my cart, and theres this woman, about 95, the New York Post quoted him, as saying.
She says, I know who you are. You write those stories, those awful horror stories . . . I dont like that. I like uplifting movies like that Shawshank Redemption.
So I said, I wrote that. And she said, No, you didnt. And that was it. Talk about surreal. I went to myself, for a minute, Its not very much like my other stuff. Maybe I didnt write it!
I thought it was hilarious to see it, so I thought you would enjoy it.
<Stephen King RULES!!!>

Want to see a quick list of the top 10 Cloud Computing players in the space? (And yes, GoGrid is obviously one of those otherwise I wouldn't be mentioning this article.) Yesterday, Jeff Vance published an article titled "Ten Cloud Computing Leaders" on Datamation where he briefly describes his thoughts on the leaders in the Cloud Computing space.
As Vance writes about each Cloud provider, he breaks down his analysis into answering a few key questions:
- Why they are a leader today
- Why the could be on top in years to come
- Who the Key Executives are
- Who their Customers are
I have always found that doing comparisons of Cloud-related companies to be quite a difficult task since products and services can vary so dramatically. And, obviously, there are other factors and metrics that simply cannot be listed in these types of "summary" articles, things like hosting experience, feature-to-feature comparisons, breadth & depth of product and services offerings, etc. However, if you are looking for an organized snapshot of the current leaders, you might want to give Vance's article a good read.
Companies listed in this top ten are: (more…) «GoGrid Listed in Datamation's "10 Cloud Computing Leaders"»

I live in the Tampa area (Palm Harbor) and have only lived here about 4 months or so. I am 4 months pregnant and have a 3 year old.

You're never too young to be humbled. Just ask the 18-year-old who flipped off a Miami-Dade Circuit Judge and was rewarded with 30 days in jail. BAM!
By now you know the story: Penelope Soto was originally arrested for illegal possession of Xanax. At her bond hearing she got mouthy with the judge, and he increased her bond to $10,000.
Then, according to every news outlet in the free world, Soto gave Judge Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat the finger. That's when he hollered, "In contempt!" and gave her 30 days in the county motel. (Now, I'm not sure he hollered. But who could blame him?)
Two days later, Soto stood chastened before the judge—one got the feeling her mother and lawyer probably tag-teamed her--and apologized. It worked. Rodriguez-Chomat dropped the contempt charge and ordered her to seek drug treatment. He also waived the $10,000 bond, which means Soto walked out of court and into the sweet sunshine of freedom. (I'm betting she then flipped off the first person she saw, but that's just me.)
Listen, I was 18 and stupid once. I did and said outrageous things. (I briefly considered majoring in snark.) But I knew there were certain lines of authority you didn't cross. That's because in mi familia, judgment was swift and sure. Read on…
In our clan, kids left the nest early. My brother T-Bob was a senior in high school when he flew the coop. I started college at 17 and split. I don't remember when Bubba and Moonbeam left, or under what circumstances. In my family, you were just sort of there one day and gone the next. It was no big deal.
Mother always encouraged our independence. If you said, "I'm thinking about mov—" you'd better have a new place and a buddy with a truck lined up, because she'd exclaim, "Wonderful! Marvelous! Don't be a stranger!" and shoo you out the front door. (Then she'd turn your bedroom into a sewing room before Tuesday. Woman didn't play.)
Of course, we knew we could always go back for a meal, or to do laundry. With four young adults coming and going, it was all very fluid and relaxed. Until one sunny Saturday morning….
I was standing at the open kitchen window, watching T-Bob, now about 19 and in college, wash his cherished Peugeot in the backyard. Tiny, feisty Mother was next to him, chewing him out about something. He was not in the mood to hear it, and she was not in the mood to back off. Voices were raised.
Finally, flush with independence and testosterone, T-Bob threw his sponge in the air and invited her to shut the hell up. I almost fainted at the sink.
I thought Mother might slap him, but no. She cocked her head and said, "Huh." Then, with a half-smile fixed on her face, she turned and trotted towards a small pile of sand and brick pavers—remnants of a recent patio project. She bent, picked up a half-brick, turned and trotted back towards T-Bob.
She was less than 20 feet away, still smiling, when he realized what she meant to do with that brick. He let out a bloodcurdling scream, threw down the hose and ran for his life. The last time I saw him that day, he was sprinting down our long dirt driveway with Mother doggedly trotting behind.
T-Bob made it to the highway and hopped a ride in old Mr. Barber's Rambler, which is the only reason he remains alive today.
Was Mother's reaction harsh? Absolutely. Did T-Bob ever flip off a judge? Never. Coincidence? I don't think so.

A Love Story for the Ages — Wife
This is my second part based off Dan's A Love Story for the Ages — Part 2 — The Proposal.
Dan and I decided to meet at Outback steak house that night after he got off work. It was still the first day we had actually ever met each other, but you would think we had known each other forever. This is especially odd when you consider the fact that I am socially awkward and not very talkative when you first meet me. However, he was sweet, funny, and not half bad out of uniform.
I was very excited to have met someone I had a true connection with. I really enjoyed his company and couldn't wait to see him again. I was walking on clouds, but that feeling was about to be hit by a roadblock. Dan called me the next day and he broke the bad news; he was going to be leaving in two weeks. We were both very upset and weren't quite sure what to do. Dan came over all but one night that week as soon as he got off work. We had long talks and continued to grow closer.
Unsure of what to do, I asked Dan if he would want to leave his things at my apartment while he was deployed. I had a spare bedroom so there was even a spot for his gross recliner and over-the-top gamer desktop computer.
Valentine's Day was a couple of days later and I decided to actually celebrate it, at home of course. A bit of background: Dan and I HATE Valentine's Day! Sorry ladies but it is truly a scam. I have always refused to go out or buy anything on the biggest rip off day of the year. Having said that, I was love struck and I knew Dan was leaving soon so I decided to decorate and make a huge meal. I even had confetti everywhere people. CONFETTI! Clearly something special was happening here because I was actually acting like a girl for the first time probably in my entire life.
Then it was time to move Dan in. I LOVE how he just skips right over the packing and into the moving stuff. If there was ever a moment I thought "oh sh*t, what am I doing," it was while packing Dan's apartment. First, you have to understand that we lived on opposite sides of town from each other and had known each other less than a week. Before packing, I had only been at Dan's house once for a brief amount of time and I started to know why. I will say Dan did have a roommate so the entire mess cannot be solely blamed on him, but you couldn't pay me to live in an apartment that dirty. Not only were there dozens of used plastic throw away Tupperware still containing some of last month's food all over the kitchen, there were also bags of fast food (with food still in them) stuffed under the coffee table. It was truly disgusting and I had to complain to Dan pretty much every five minutes while I gagged and was freaking out a little.
Finally, after getting the cars packed and ready to go, we headed back to my apartment. On the way home I realized I had lost him somewhere in the traffic. I called Dan and he said he was stopping to get me a present "for the house." I knew instantly what it was. I could tell by his cute little hints and I have been able to read him like a book since I first spotted him in his uniform walking into IHOP.
I started unloading the car and waiting for Dan to get home with his surprise. He walked in and asked me to come over to him. He instantly dropped to one knee and said "remember how we've been talking about spending the rest of our lives together" as he went down. Pulling a ring box from behind his back, he asked me to marry him. I said yes! Tears were running down both our faces as we kissed and he put the ring on my finger. It fit perfectly and was beautiful. I couldn't have asked for more.
Only one concern crossed my mind at that time; we are supposed to be at my brothers' house in a couple of hours and they may kill him.

Concussions were another topic for discussion at the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) meetings. While concussions continue to be on the rise and are most commonly seen among athletes involved in contact sports such as football, soccer, cheerleading and lacrosse, much of the literature has focused on when an athlete should return to play. The AAP just published a report now looking at when an athlete should return to academics and school, rather than focusing solely on return to the field.
While a concussion is a closed head injury sustained due to a blow to the head, students appear physically normal. There is not a scan or a physical exam that will diagnose a concussion but rather a constellation of physical symptoms that point to a concussion. Athletes will often complain of headaches, blurred vision, noise and light sensitivity, dizziness and mood changes. These symptoms typically improve within 1-3 weeks after suffering a concussion, but during this time it may be difficult for a student to learn.
While the athlete is concerned about getting back to their sport, another challenge is returning to school and a rigorous course schedule. Therefore, it is important that parents, doctors and coaches understand that kids with concussions may have a hard time concentrating or learning new material. They may also have problems with recall and testing. Returning to full throttle academics may also cause an increase in post-concussion symptoms. Slow and steady may be the best way to get a student back to learning.
It may be necessary to adjust a student's academic schedule and allow them a gradual transition back to academics, just like has been proposed for return to play. There needs to be collaboration with school, parent and child about how much their schedule should be modified.
Dr. Mark Halstead, lead author of report summed it up well when he stated, "the goal is to minimize disruptions to the student's life and return the student to school as soon as possible, and as symptoms improve, to increase the student's social, mental and physical activities.
These guidelines will help pediatricians guide their concussed patients back to school and learning, before heading back to the field.

Hi everyone!
Do you know how many copies of each King's first edition was published?
I saw The Collector (very useful website), but it's description is not perfect. For example, Dolores Claiborne, Gerald's Game, and so on. I want to know about all the King's main books.
Please help me!!!

I currently have the following rig:
- i7-3770 (not o/c'd)
- GTX 660 Ti 2GB
- 32GB ram
- The game will be running off an SSD
I am wondering if I should get myself a GTX 770 before the game comes out. The 660Ti is a very capable GPU but I like playing my games at max settings @ 1920x1080 and I am not sure the 660Ti will deliver a reasonable FPS. During the open beta I had lows of around 35 and an average of 40-45 I think.
Is it a worthy upgrade for ~400$ ? Maybe I could sell the 660Ti...

Bengals looking like Bengals of last-season today in this first half.
Where in the hell was this team the last three weeks? Did the O-Line just get off their vacation? :
It is very nice to see. To be honest, I expected to see this team roll over, but perhaps they have been finally getting the wake-up call(s) they needed.
The beat down is over. Now comes the nail biting.
The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.
I fear.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
TD Ocho-Cinco. This game has the same feeling as the Indy game last year.
Last edited by paintmered; 11-12-2006 at 03:36 PM. Reason: Whoops, I thought I was editing my post. Sorry.
Never let facts get in the way of a good rant.
This game has turned into an old-fashioned track meet. Don't look away or you might miss a few touchdowns.
What if this wasn't a rhetorical question?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
Where's the D?
"Hey...Dad. Wanna Have A Catch?" Kevin Costner in "Field Of Dreams."
This is just disheartening.
The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.
Today's "I spoke too soon thread title of the day" goes to...
Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
Once again, this team is proving why they are not ready for the big time. They do not have the killer instinct to completely put down another team.
I've accepted the fact that the Bengals have an awful defense. And I know you can't win in the NFL with a defense this bad. It's honestly taken the sting out of their losses the past few weeks. I'm at peace with it.
Grape works as a soda. Sort of as a gum. I wonder why it doesn't work as a pie. Grape pie? There's no grape pie. - Larry David
The season is over for the Bengals. Turn out the lights the party's over.
When I see the 2015 Reds, I see a 100 loss team.
SD had 14 points when I left, I come home and they have 42. You've got to be kidding me.
Even if we win this game they need to think long and hard about making some defensive coaching changes, this team is lost on defense.

We live in a pastoral little hamlet, Widdle Baby and I.
If you walk out our front door, you can inhale the sweet summer fragrance of honeysuckle and American Beauty roses in bloom. Turn to the left and enjoy the smell of fresh-cut pine from the cabinet-makers shop. Tilt your head a little to the right and inhale the delicious aroma of chicken frying down at the BP station.
Oh, and straight ahead, youll smell horse poop. The unmistakable scent of fresh horse poop. In a pile. On the sidewalk. In front of our home.
We do not own a horse.
Ive often said that all our village needs to be picture-perfect is a vicar, and perhaps a sewing circle whose members solve murders when not stitching quilts and sipping sherry. There is charm aplenty here, from cottages set amid pastures populated with goats to sun-dappled logging trails through old-growth forest. There are hedges and iron gates, and oak trees shading colorful Victorian houses. We even have llamas and mini donkeys. Yes, the aaawwww! factor is high. And so is the smell coming from the sidewalk.
Did I mention we dont own a horse?
Lots of other residents do. Men, women and children ride merrily down the main road and the paved side streets. Often because a 1,500 pound horse cant win against a two-ton SUV they ride on the sidewalk. In all these places the horses relieve themselves when the urge strikes, because no-one has ever successfully toilet-trained a horse.
On my daily wog (walk/jog), I often dodge puddles or piles. Its embarrassing to know that this is what passersby and visitors see at first glance.
Then one day last week Widdle came home and said, Come and look at this.
I thought maybe hed brought home a new puppy, but no.
This was the aforementioned pile, smack in the middle of the sidewalk and stinking to high heaven.
Thats just wrong, he said, and rubbed his chin. (Widdle rubbing his chin is like another man screaming and waving his arms.) A police officer is up at the Subway, he said. I think Ill speak to him.
Of course I tagged along, even though I was wearing Widdles old black boxer shorts, because A) I have no shame and B) Im nosy as hell.
Widdle very politely stated his case, pointing out that the fragrant pyramid blighted both our property and the town. The officer nodded gravely.
I think I know whose horses did that, he said. Ill go have a word. And off he drove.
I was thrilled and impressed. And also embarrassed, when I realized what my mother would say about being in the presence of the po-po wearing black boxer shorts. In the end, however, that turned out not to matter.
Five days later, the Pile of Shame is still there.
What Id like to do is go out with a shovel under cover of night and make a very special delivery in someones mailbox. But Widdle is a peaceable man. In fact, hed never mention that hes one of the town officials who helped get the sidewalks built, years ago.
Widdles father was a councilman. His brother was mayor. Widdle himself served two terms on council. He wouldnt tell that to anyone now in authority, because thats not how he rolls. Its just a shame, is what it is.
And did I mention that we dont own a horse?

Boone Hall fields
Half-mile north of Long Point Road on Highway 17
Boone Hall Plantation ushered in the 2014 Lowcountry Strawberry Festival Thursday with a ceremonial ribbon cutting and a proclamation from S.C. Governor Nikki Haley.
In her proclamation, Haley declared April 10-13 Lowcountry Strawberry Festival Days throughout the state to encourage all South Carolinians to recognize the importance of this and other local festivals and celebrations to our unique quality of life.
A framed version of the proclamation was presented to Boone Hall owner Willie McRae before he and Mount Pleasant Mayor Linda Page cut the ribbon, opening the four-day event. Wandos steel drum band provided the ceremonys music.
Started in 1997, the Strawberry Festival is a local staple in welcoming springtime to the Lowcountry. Since teaming up with Certified S.C. Grown and the S.C. Department of Agriculture, the festival has blossomed into a leader in celebrating and promoting local agriculture in South Carolina.
This is one of the highlights of the spring, S.C. Department of Agriculture Commissioner Hugh Weathers said. Its just a sign that spring is here. With the Certified S.C. Grown logo, when youve got a place of the caliber of Boone Hall as your partner, you really are proud of what youre doing. To work with Boone Hall is really a privilege.
This year, the festival features more than 30 attractions including live music, 21 festival thrill rides, pig races, pie eating contests, a petting zoo, the Little Miss Berry Princess contest and a strawberry recipe contest. The S.C. Department of Agriculture will host an interactive gardening exhibit centered on local farming and U-pick fields will open daily at 9 a.m.
For Governor Haley to recognize Boone Hall is quite an honor, said Boone Halls Rick Benthall. This strawberry festival has really grown. The festival has always been and will be always be about strawberries and agriculture and fun on the farm. Its just a great family event. Its truly strawberry fields forever.
