Vermont Department of Labor warns of scamStaff Report | December 03,2012MONTPELIER - The Vermont Department of Labor is warning about a nationwide identity theft scam that attempts to lure employers into providing confidential information about their employees.
Emails have been sent to businesses in at least 10 states, including New York and Massachusetts.
The DOL said it has not yet received reports of the scam in Vermont.
According to DOL, the scam is designed to trick employers into responding to an email that appears to have been sent from a state's "Division of Unemployment Assistance."
The email looks like a legitimate job separation request used by state agencies. The email requests wage and other information on a former employee filing for unemployment benefits. It then directs the employer to click on a link to an embedded website address in South Africa.
Employers are advised that DOL does not use email to request confidential information, nor does the agency attempt to collect information on behalf of other state's unemployment agencies.
Any employer receiving this email or other correspondence that may not be legitimate, should call the Vermont Department of Labor 828-4254.MORE IN This Just InNEW YORK Yes, your mutual fund may own some Greek stocks.

UFC Replacing KO and Sub of the Night Bonuses with $50K 'Performance' Bonuses
Considering how the UFC has actively supported the Cleveland Clinic brain injury study, it makes sense that they would re-brand their 'KO of the Night" bonus into a 'Performance' bonus.
Today the UFC announced a significant change to how they give out fight night bonuses.
Immediately following the conclusion of each UFC event, one of the first pieces of post-fight news is the announcement of the fight night bonuses. Traditionally, the UFC has awarded a $50K bonus for Fight of the Night, Knockout of the Night, and Submission of the night.
On Tuesday, the promotion announced a change to the bonus protocol:
This means if an event ends with only a single knockout or submission, that fighter is no longer guaranteed a bonus.The Ultimate Fighting Championship announced today a modification to its live event bonuses. Effective immediately, UFC will award "Fight of the Night Bonuses" to each of the fighters in the best fight of the night, as well as additional "Performance of the Night Bonuses" to the two best individual performances on the card. The bonus amounts will remain $50,000. The "Performance of Night" bonuses will reward the athletes who put on the best and most exciting individual performances.
Although not stated explicitly, it looks like the new system will be first used this weekend at UFC Fight Night 36. That event will take place at the Arena Jaragua in Jaragua do Sul, Brazil with middleweights Lyoto Machida and Gegard Mousasi headlining the card.

I just gave it a a go today, playing on a PVE EU server since I believe that games that don't have PvP at it's core tend to be bad PvP games. Anyway, first of all I'm having technical issues. For some reason my DX10 gfx driver keeps crashing. I asked around about this issue and a few ppl polite enough to try to help, although I still havent solved the issue. However, so far I'm enjoying it, and try it for about a little longer, although there are one or two things I dislike so far. The cash shop, and the UI, particularly the grey chat text on grey background. My other concern is the amount of gold spammers there are, it doesn't create a good impression if one of the first things u read in the chatbox is someone trying to sell in-game gold.

I am US, currently playing on Wiccana PvE, i do have toons on the pvp server though.
They are a lot of great guilds on Wic that are more than helpful to any players. I suggest Ghostwolves, great group of people. I'm in Rogue Angels but wouldn't recommend them to newer players as our focus is end game/pvp. Just depending on the type of person you are im sure you can find something that would fit your needs

If a game goes F2P and does not have to add extra servers you know that nothing has changed. There are a ton of people like myself who came back, spent a few weeks playing and realized it isn´t worth even playing for free. If the game had improved that much since launch, there would at least be huge demand for new servers from f2p people. There aren´t. There is no increase in populations since it went f2p which is all the needs to be said.
It was a boring, highly instances lonely game at launch. Melee combat requires too much key-smashing to be fun (past the first few weeks when it feels new) and ranged is just boring. There is nothing good about AOC that isn´t found in 10 other f2p games... oh wait.. nipples.

AoC is one of two games that I just keep coming back to. It has *almost* everything I want from an MMO.
The graphics are just amazing and that's number one in my book. Yes, I realize that graphics alone don't make a good MMO, but they sure can emphasize a shitty one, such as TOR. TOR has piss poor cartoony garbage graphics, but was boasting the best game play in any MMO to date. After the shine of *story* wore off for me tho, I was stuck with a below average game with abolutely garbage visuals... time to move on. While the visuals of this game aren't quite up to an HD modded Skyrim with a good ENB running, it's STILL the best visuals in any MMO on the market and that's saying something for a 2008 game. I really feel like I'm there in AoC. The immersion is pretty amazing for me.
The story is also just as fun as the graphics. Tortage is a blast to play and replay. In fact, I leveled a dozen characters just through Tortage alone and some of those I never even took to 80. There are people that complain that the story past Tortage is bad, but those are people that can't get over the system shock of going from listening ot dialogue to reading it. The story takes a small slump immediately after 20, but then it picks right back up again in the 30's.
The problem with people that complain about the story in this game being terrible is that they are skipping all the amazing dungeons in this game. ALL of the best dungeons in this game are between lvl's 1-79. This isn't to say that the dungeons post 80 are all terrible, but the three wings of Tier 2 raiding are a giant yawnfest where you are stuck in the same landscape for hours. I can't believe they made some of the most enjoyable dungeons in any game I've ever played and then finished it off with a multi-hour romp in boring land.
Some of the pre-80 dungeons are an absolute blast to play over and over. Cradle of Decay, Ampitheater of Karutonia (one of my all time favorite dungeons in any game), Sanctum of Burning Souls (I love this dungeon and I even run it at 80 solo when I'm bored sometimes), Iron Tower (Very hard, but very fun), Crows Nest (Fan the Flames!).
I'll admit that when I first started playing AoC I was a big PVP'er. I rolled all my first few characters on Deathwhisper and fought people with my Necromancer any chance I got. It was a blast and almost forced you to level with other players in order to avoid being ganked solo. There's nothing as fun as rolling up on people farming at atzels fortress or the badit camp in kesh and facerolling them and then farming it for yourself. On the PVE servers, if you came up on people farming, then you were forced to join their group and if they wouldn't let you join, then you were shit out of luck.
This really isn't an issue anymore now that most players are lvl 80 and not farming the bandit camps for XP, but within a month of release it was great to have the option to PVP to keep your PVE area clear.
At first PVP was horribly broken. TOS were one-shot wonders, often hitting even best geared guardians at the time for double their HP in damage. Funcom took the approach of "one character rebalance at a time" which simply left a rotating door of OP characters. The TOS were nerfed to oblivion and then the Necros were crazy OP, then they were nerfed, then the rangers... and so on. So basically it took a long time to balance PVP and a lot of PVP'ers weren't willing to stick around and wait.
PVP is still in a state of shambles. Someone at Funcom got the idea that what we really want to do for PVP is play a small handful of minigames ad nauseum and when that gets boring what we really wanted to do was farm PVP resource nodes. That guy, whoever he is, should be fired... like in front of a firing squad. Worst idea ever. What people really wanted from PVP were dynamic objectives to fight over.
The first and only expansion to this game is a mixed bag for me. First, it provided some really good pick-up entertainment in the form of 6 man dungeons that were challenging and very rewarding. The gear drops from them were even better than Tier 2 raiding gear. There were some pretty fun quests here too, although many of them were bugged very badly.
The new areas were also visually stunning. They looked amazing, had compltely brand new NPC's fight, and were a nice break from the rest of the game.
The problems started when I decided to get my first new mount. The Tiger. I had no clue how bad grinding could be until I started down this path. Doing the same 5-6 quests over and over and over and over for hours on end just to collect some stupid tokens that I could turn in to get a baby mount, which I then had to train up. It was a literal Asian grinder... set in an asian landscape. I got my Tiger and quit playing again soon afterwards.
Some of the new areas were absolutely ridiculous to top it off. Kara Korum for instance had so many predators per square foot, that there's no way there was enough prey for them to even live longer than a day.
Overall, this game is actually very enjoyable, but it should and I emphasize this, it really should be played with good friends. Take your time leveling, try to do all the dungeons for your level, and do the ones you like a few times. There's plenty to do at lvl 80, but it gets repetetive fast so enjoy the lower level content without simply racing to 80.

AoC is a great Conan game - by far the best Conan game ever made - and a decent MMO that is fun to play.
In addition the game is continually being patched, developed, or expanded. Updates are fairly common covering everything from added playfields to gameplay tweaks. Funcom may be running on a shoe string budget, but they have not abandon the game, not even for the sake of TSW.

I was supprised how good this game realy is. I have heard so much negative about this game around the internet, but when i tried it out for my self i found it very enjoyable. Im subbed to TSW and to WOW and i just bought GW2, but i find myself playing AoC more than anything. I run AoC on Geforce GTX 670, and the game looks pretty nice for a 4 year old game. I havent seen much of the problems they say it has either, and I there are players running around everywhere, so the game is far from dead thats for sure, especialy now after the server merge. I was also impressed with how friendly ppl are, the guild i joined was very helpful from the day started playing..
Aside from the terrible launch, and possibly a year and a half fixing it, the games actually pretty good for a themepark.
The classes are fun, the combat is fun, it looks good, the endgame raids are fun...open world pvp was fun when the game was well populated as were the pvp instances.
The problem is, you burn out on the game and never really look back.
I think if this game launced in the same state it was 2 years after, the game would still have a decent following.
Not sure the state of the game right now, but i remember trying the game out just to see how bad it was, and test out my new gtx260 at the time...and i ended up staying for much longer than i usually stay in a themepark.
Personally, i get the hate towards funcom, but i honestly believe their games are FAR better than this and other sites give them credit for. I mean at least their games are cutting edge graphic wise and usually offer something that actually is innovative, in this games case the combat was phenominal and a much needed improvement from tab target spam...however i did hear they made the combos less complicated....and spellweaving was great fun...oh and the game had guild sieges and territory control...often overlooked in modern themeparks.

Tab targeting is still the norm in most modern mmorpgs. The problem with AOC and the main reason I dont play is the low ammount of new content, and the crappy ingame economy. It dosent help that Funcom fails with a good amount of the new content they add and never bother to fix it so it's used.
Latest for example the breach dungeon which NOONE does anymore even if it was added 5 months ago, Ai district, House of crom social event that like 2 guilds have completed, it just goes on, there's extremly little new succesfull content, it's halfway done, all of it.

Have to agree, AoC is top notch now. After nearly two years break it´s even better than I remembered.
Must have been a lot of updates since then.
And hey it´s Sheldon approved! :D

A Charleston County School bus transporting special needs children was involved in an accident on the I-26 West exit ramp for College Park Road at about 2:30 p.m. April 9.
The bus driver was attempting to make a left turn onto College Park Road when a SUV disregarded a traffic light and struck the bus, which then struck two other vehicles, according to S.C. Highway Patrol Senior Trooper Bridge Wyant.
No serious injuries were reported, although four of the 12 students were transported to Trident Hospital, according to Wyant. The students were taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, according to Charleston County School District Public Information Officer Jason Sakaran.
A Ridgeville woman was driving a 2005 Nissan SUV when she disregarded a traffic light and struck the bus. She has been charged with disregarding a traffic signal, Wyant said.
The bus driver and a passenger from a 2013 Dodge Avenger that was also struck were transported to the hospital, according to Wyant.
The bus was in the process of taking children to their respective homes when the collision occurred, according to Sakaran.
The students were transferred to another bus at the scene of the accident.

Georgetown police are looking for the person or persons responsible for a robbery and attempted robbery that occurred Thursday night.
Georgetown Police Capt. Nelson Brown said the first incident occurred at about 6 p.m. He said a man left the Big Tuna and was walking in the area of Augustus Carolina in the 800 block of Front Street when he was approached by a black male. The suspect said he was robbing the victim.
After the robbery, the suspect fled on foot.
The victims wife, on Facebook, said he was unharmed in the incident.
A short while later, a woman who was using the walk-in ATM at Bank of America on Highmarket Street was approached by a man who attempted to rob her, Brown said.
He said when the woman started screaming, the suspect fled without getting any money.
Brown said it is unknown if the same person is responsible for both incidents. He also said investigators are trying to determine if these incidents are connected to a kidnapping and robbery that occurred Dec. 23.
In that case, a suspect got in the backseat of the victim in the 100 block of Orange Street and demanded money.
Brown said the victim drove the subject to the ATM at Wells Fargo Bank on Front Street and the victim withdrew money out of the ATM machine and gave it to the suspect who then forced the victim to drive back down Front Street toward Orange Street.
The victim jumped out of the vehicle and the subject fled on foot when the vehicle came to a stop, said Brown.
He said video from cameras along Front Street are being used to help in the investigation.
Anyone with information about any of these incidents is asked to call the Georgetown Police Department at 843-545-4300 or dial 911.

Startup Weekend helps entrepreneurs launch new businessesWritten by Duane Ramsey | | email@example.com
Aspiring entrepreneurs will have an opportunity to launch a company at the second Startup Weekend Toledo, Sept. 20-22 at the Nitschke Technology Commercialization Complex on the UT engineering campus.
"Startup Weekend is designed to be the most effective platform for growing new businesses from the ground up over the course of a weekend," said Lindsey Danforth, lead organizer of the local event this year.
"A key facet of the weekend — and a central value for participants — is the spirit of complete collaboration, buy-in and ownership," she said.
Attendees will pitch their ideas; form teams to develop a business model, product prototype and designs; present their work and win prizes to help establish the emerging startup business.
Teams form around the popular ideas as determined by vote followed by a 54-hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing and market validation. People choose what topic or team to join. The weekend culminates with presentations before local entrepreneurial leaders offering critical feedback.
Concept pitching and team building will take place on Friday. Teams will form around concepts and various skills that are brought to the table, leaving the remainder of the weekend for mind mapping, strategizing and building a real business, Danforth explained.
On Sunday night, the new business ideas will be pitched to a panel of judges and the winning team will receive a "Two-hour IP Brainstorming Session" and a two-month part-time membership to Seed Coworking space, with other possible prizes to be added.
Startup Weekend attracts the community's best doers and makers. Knowledgeable and successful entrepreneurs are there to inspire, share and mentor the teams throughout the weekend, Danforth said.
Participants also receive invaluable one-on-one time with the movers and shakers within the community, as local tech and startup leaders take part in Startup Weekends as coaches and judges.
Some of the people lined up for this year include Gene Powell of Seed Co-working, StartUp Toledo and Spoke; Erika Carlson from Girl Develop It Detroit; Bill Sattler of local graphic design agency Madhouse; Kristin Kiser, owner of Black Kite Coffee; and Joe Gough of Rocket Ventures.
By spending a weekend working to build scalable companies, participants can build long-lasting relationships and possibly walk away with a new business, job or even an investor in the startup business, Danforth said.
"We had a great mix of ideas from fitness apps to crowd-funding urban renewal to a smoothie truck," Danforth said about the first Startup Weekend Toledo held last year.
In 2012, they had four people go through Startup Weekend and go on to build a new business and get funding from Rocket Ventures. Two participants won money at the Northwest Ohio Business Plan Competition last year, she said.
However, development of the winning startup last year, a physical fitness app called Fueled, has been put on hold temporarily because the principals are working other full-time jobs, according to Steve Plummer, who originated the idea for the business.
Aaron Harwell sought out mentors to help him finish an idea for a photo booth/app business called Twine.It. He met people at Startup Weekend who helped him get some early-stage funding from Rocket Ventures and also worked with UT Innovation Enterprises.
Zachary Kraner was inspired at Startup Weekend last year and later launched his own company called Intrinsic Made. The business creates and sells apparel and accessories that are affordable and wearable works of art.
Intrinsic Made offers handmade infinity scarves, stylish sunglasses that come in a handmade bag, and a variety of T-shirts at its store at www.intrinsic made.storenvy.com. The store is powered by Storenvy, an online store system and marketplace for creative businesses.
"Startup Weekend showed me that you don't have to sit around and wait for something good to come along. With a good idea, good people and lots of hustle, you can make things happen," Kraner said about his experience last year. "It encouraged me and gave me the extra push to pursue my idea."
Startup Weekend is a global grassroots movement of entrepreneurs who are learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures. Based in Seattle, the nonprofit organization has facilitators in more than 200 cities in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North and South America with more than 400 events in 100 countries since 2011.
More than 36 percent of Startup Weekend startups are still active. About 80 percent of the participants plan to continue working with their team or startup after each weekend event, according to the organization.

Grace College authorized its first charter school, the Smith Academy for Excellence, which opened its doors in Fort Wayne in fall 2012.
The Grace College Board of Trustees approved a seven-year charter for the school on March 23, 2012, and the school founders formally signed the charter on March 26, 2012.
The Smith Academy for Excellence is the brainchild of former Wayne High School Principal Thomas Smith and his two sons, Corey and Cameron. The Smiths approached Grace to authorize the charter due to shared philosophies of education, as well as personal ties to the school – Corey received his B.S. in Elementary Education from Grace in 2004.
The academy, a boys-only preparatory-style school, has the potential to serve approximately 198 students in grades 4-10. The Smiths plan for the school to eventually serve grades K-12. The Smiths saw an opportunity to serve Fort Wayne by offering an alternative education option that will focus on preparing students for college, forming students' character, and emphasizing service learning.
Thomas Smith serves as the school's chief administrator, with Cameron Smith serving as the chief operations officer, and Corey Smith as the chief academic officer.
The Smiths make the most of their support from Grace College, eventually placing student teachers in classrooms. Laurie Owen, Dean of the School of Education at Grace, is excited for the opportunity to work with the school on the ground level. "We are so thrilled with the Smiths' vision for the school, and so grateful that they are allowing Grace to be a part of that. Eventually we'll get our student teachers in those classrooms for some invaluable learning experiences for both their students and ours," Owen said.
For further information please contact Professor Laurie Owen at 574-372-5100 ext. 6148.

Athletics Director Susan Viscomi Accepts Position At SUNY Oswego
National Search for Replacement to Begin Immediately
- Release Date:
- March 26, 2013
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY – Hilbert College Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Susan Viscomi has accepted the Director of Athletics position at SUNY Oswego. Viscomi will finish the remainder of the academic year at Hilbert. A national search for her replacement will begin immediately.
"Sue came to Hilbert with a large task in front of her and she became the transformative leader that our athletic department needed," Hilbert College President Cynthia Zane said. "Her tenure has shown success both on and off the playing field and courts, culminating with Hilbert's first AMCC men's basketball regular-season title. I have mixed emotions as I wish Sue success in her new opportunity, but we will also miss her talents here at Hilbert."
Under Viscomi's guidance, one of the most significant accomplishments occurred last month when men's basketball earned its first-ever Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Regular Season Title. Hilbert also hosted the AMCC Men's Basketball Tournament for the first time, bringing hundreds of visitors to the Hilbert campus. Last year, the Hawks went to the conference playoffs for the first time in men's soccer and women's volleyball. Since Viscomi took ownership of the Hilbert program, the full-time staff has doubled in size and the athletics' facilities have seen several upgrades providing a strong foundation for the Hawks to continue competing for conference championships. Additionally, Viscomi oversaw the addition of men's and women's lacrosse at Hilbert.
"I really appreciated Cynthia (Zane) giving me the opportunity to build a program," Viscomi said. "We accomplished quite a bit in my time at Hilbert, but Cynthia's strong advocacy for growing the athletics department was paramount to that success. Without support from the top, it would not be possible to take those strides."
Viscomi was a member of the WNY Consortium of Higher Education's Women's Leadership Institute Class of 2012, which is intended for women who are preparing for higher education senior leadership positions. The Women's Leadership Institute is designed to engage women in evocative dialogue regarding the complexity of issues facing higher education.
"Both well respected within the campus community and intercollegiate athletics," Zane said, "I was honored to recommend Sue for the WNY Higher Ed Consortium's Women's Leadership Institute where she represented Hilbert very well."
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

McDermott works for the ACP Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) organization. He is currently overseeing ongoing construction projects that include roof repairs, water valve replacements, air system installations, electrical work and other projects that will strengthen the infrastructure of the American Centrifuge Plant.
A Project Management Professional certificate recognizes an individual's ability to lead and direct projects. The PMP certification demonstrates that McDermott has the knowledge in the practice of project management and industry methods, and it shows that he is competent in the processes of project management and up-to-date in industry guidelines and processes.
To be eligible to obtain the certification, applicants must have obtained a four-year bachelor's degree, project management experience, a minimum of 4,500 hours leading and directing projects, and additional accredited project management education. The certification shows that McDermott has proven to demonstrate the ability to lead projects with a solid fundamental approach.
Today, McDermott is one of more than 400,000 PMP certified project managers. The PMP certification is a globally recognized credential and is considered to be one of the most prestigious certifications in the field of project management. The credential will enhance the EPC organization as the American Centrifuge Demonstration program is deployed and future USEC commercial plant deployment plans continue.
McDermott is a graduate of Portsmouth West High School, and he received a bachelor of science degree in civil engineering from Ohio University. He interned at the gaseous diffusion plant (GDP) at Piketon in June 1992 as a summer student. Upon his graduation in 1996 from OU, he began working as a civil engineer at the GDP. He began working for the American Centrifuge Plant in the fall of 2005.

The Last (Suburban) Man: The Suburbs and American Politics
THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 2003 12:15 p.m.
David Brooks's wit and insight into the new bourgeois-bohemian class (bobos) is vividly displayed in Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There (2000, Simon & Schuster). Brooks is currently writing a book on suburban man, a class that overlaps the bobos, and his lecture will sketch the themes of his most recent work. Attendees can expect a presentation characterized by a combination of humor and understanding second to none among contemporary journalists.
Brooks is a senior editor of the Weekly Standard, a contributing editor at Newsweek and the Atlantic Monthly, and the "Machine Age" columnist for the New York Times Magazine. He appears often as a commentator on National Public Radio, CNN's Late Edition, and The Jim Lehrer Newshour. Before joining the Weekly Standard in 1995, he was a foreign correspondent and op-ed editor for the Wall Street Journal.
Brooks has also published articles in numerous periodicals including the New Yorker, Forbes, the Washington Post, the TLS, Commentary, and Public Interest.
David Brooks' luncheon talk is sponsored by Claremont McKenna College's Salvatori Center. Lunch will be served at 11:45 am. The talk begins at 12:15 pm and is open to the public.

Discount Ramps has added these amazing heated floor traction mats to our product line. During the winter months it can be hard to stay out of the snow/ice when traveling around your yard/deck. We have found that these heated floor mats work wonders for any business or residence that is located in an environment that receives rain, snow, ice, etc.. The floor mats have a great traction surface allowing for worry free movement across surfaces. These traction mats stay at a steady 50*F and melt an average of 2″ of snow per hour to keep your surfaces clear to allow safer travel. Please keep in mind though that the heated mats are only designed to be walked on with feet and are not made to be driven on with vehicles.
We have these heated mats in a multitude of different sizes and in two different voltages(120Volt or 240Volt). For more details and pricing you can see these heated floor mats in action here. You might also want to check out our heated stair mats at discountramps.com!
