Gifts for Gamers: Some End-of-Year Recommendations, Part 2
More games for Linux and open source - a large choice for every taste. Strategy, chess, and more.To be continued.
Warzone 2100
GPL, activated 3D graphics, http://wz2100.net
Originally released 1999 as a commercial real-time strategy game from Edios Interactive, Warzone has been further developed by a horde of volunteers under the GNU license. Unlike its competitors in the same genre, Warzone 2100 allows for individual unit design with varied unit characteristics and tactics.
Free, 2D graphics, http://www.nongnu.org/lordsawar
The turn-based strategy game is still in its early development stages. The object is to create armies in cities to conquer neighboring cities and send heros on quests for treasure.
Free, 2D graphics, http://lgames.sourceforge.net/index.php?project=LGeneral
Friends of the turn-based strategy game Panzer General would feel at home with the LGeneral clone. As general, you guide your troups across hexagonal battlefields.
GPL, 2D graphics, http://megamek.sourceforge.net
Likewise with a beehive playing field, MegaMek is an unofficial version of the BattleTech board game, with overdimensioned robots pulled into battle.
Commercial, http://sillysoft.net
The strategy game is loosely based on the Risk board game, with some extensions. Taking over the world involves aligning your troops across 700 maps, including phantasy worlds
GPL v3, activated 3D graphics, http://code.google.com/p/naev
Unlike Elite, this space trading and combat game has a bird's-eye view. The object is still to conquer large galaxies.
Privateer: Ascii Sector
Free, 2D graphics, http://www.asciisector.net
The game reduces the concept popular in Elite and Privateer to its graphic minimum. The space conquering simulation works exclusively with ASCII characters, with a considerable retro effect.
Mechanical Tower
Free, activated 3D graphics, http://www.tdb.fi/mechtower.shtml
Robots gone haywire storm a tower and you must set traps to destroy them before they do the same to you.
Free, 2D graphics, http://terstiege.de/battleduel
In a mountainous landscape, opponents try to out each other with fixed cannons. They take turns firing, but need to reckon with wind and ballistics.
GPL, 2D graphics, http://tiffanys.sourceforge.net
A simple chess game with multiple game modes.
More games...This games do look awful . Here is a site that has less awful games for linux:
There are promising titles in development so linux games will come and then users will come and then big game companies will start to care for linux few percents more.
- Alex
still far awayeven if we look at Nexuiz, OpenArena, etc we're far away - the technology in use in the currently best looking games on linux are 3-6 years old. Phoronix showed a few promising stuffs but those are still in beta and are only some engines not fully fledged, real games.Yeah, you can use wine and mess around with it, tweak it, etc but what if you only want to play and if you're not into retro stuffs? If you don't care about emulators, snes, gameboy games and others based on Quake 2/3's engine and you want new games then linux is not an option.
HUH?? you call this a gift??these games looks like they are from the 70's....
these are not games for gamers..
if you saw a playstation 3/xbox 360/new windows games than you should know these are not real games..
there are almost no games for linux.
some games works with wine but....
windows is still a must if you want games now dont put these games and say linux has games for gamers..
i didnt even read the post.. but i hate to see these posts with no real games and say games for linux..
who needs these games?????
do you really play them?
Gifts for GamersHi folks.

Griffin Press Room
Outfit Your iPad 2 with the Latest from Griffin Technology
Colorful Creations for iPad 2
Nashville, TN — March 15, 2011 — Griffin Technology Inc., maker of innovations for everyday life, today debuted their initial offering of accessories for Apple's new iPad 2. The announcement features a collection of new and updated accessories designed to protect the iPad 2 and enhance the user's experience, as well as popular Griffin devices that are essential complements to Apple's latest creation. The collection includes the new Elan Folio Slim for iPad 2, CinemaSeat for iPad 2, and Stylus Naturals and Brights Collections, and the popular GuitarConnect, PowerDock Dual, and Loop.
"iPad 2 is an exciting step forward for an area of technology we love to work with," said George Campbell, Director of Industrial Design at Griffin. "Its new features are inspiring new ideas while also realizing new uses for existing Griffin designs."
Griffin's first creations for iPad 2 are:
Elan Folio Slim for iPad 2
This super-slim folio complements the new, thinner iPad 2. A textured black polyurethane outer cover offers protection on the outside. Inside, a soft microsuede lining coddles your iPad 2, with a narrow frame surrounding the Multi-Touch display. Cut-outs allow easy access to the dock connector, headphone jack, controls, speaker, and front and rear cameras. Elan Folio Slim's front cover wraps around to the back and tucks into a receiver to create a landscape-orientation stand, ideal for viewing video and typing.
CinemaSeat for iPad 2
CinemaSeat turns your iPad 2 into the perfect in-car entertainment system. The case wraps around your iPad 2 while giving you easy access to the headphone jack, controls, speaker, cameras, and dock connector. On the back, a wide, adjustable strap snugs around your auto's headrest and holds your iPad in place, perfectly positioned for backseat riders to watch video, listen to music, play games, and more. CinemaSeat makes every seat the best seat in the house (or car, actually).
Stylus Colors
Griffin's wildly popular Stylus for iPad, now with more color. The Stylus is a balanced pointer with a soft rubber tip designed to mimic the way your finger interacts with the Multi-Touch display. The omni-directional tip adapts to any writing style and doesn't care if you are left-handed or right-handed. The Stylus' soft tip keeps your Multi-Touch display free of fingerprints and smudges while adding control to any touchscreen operation. Griffin's Stylus is now available in two new color collections: The Naturals collection features Camel, Stone, Chocolate, Dark Olive, and Desert Pink. The Brights collection includes Poppy, Spring, Violet, White, and Aqua. And the Stylus is still available in classic Black.
Also featured in the new line-up are several essential Griffin devices optimized for iPad 2:
Our GuitarConnect cable is the simplest way to play and record your favorite guitar with Apple's new GarageBand for iPad. This custom cable features three connectors: a standard 1/4" cable for your guitar, bass, keyboard, or other musical instrument; a stereo 1/8" plug for the headphone jack of your iPad; and a 1/8" stereo jack so you can plug in your phones and monitor the sound in realtime. GuitarConnect is all you and your iPad 2 need to take full advantage of its recording capabilities. No extra wires, no expensive adapters to buy, and no neighbors banging on your wall telling you to "Turn it DOWN!" GuitarConnect's 1/8" stereo mini-jack, lets you plug in headphones or AUX cable and play into your home stereo, amp, or mixing board. GuitarConnect is the most compact recording and practice rig possible.
PowerDock Dual
Charge your iPad 2 while you chat via FaceTime. PowerDock Dual is a dual-dock charger and stand with unique charging bases for iPad 2, and iPhone (or iPod). The built-in speakers of your iPad are unobstructed, making PowerDock Dual the perfect platform for FaceTime calls, bedside entertainment, or a quick countertop reference. The dual dock charger ensures that your devices stay charged, while the built-in valet tray keeps keys, loose change, and other contents of your pockets close at hand.
The aptly-named Loop is a clean, simple stand, weighted and shaped to hold your iPad upright for FaceTime video calls or for viewing videos and photos; or laid back at an incline for surfing and typing, in both landscape and portrait orientations. Soft, cushioned inserts cradle your iPad 2 to eliminate scratches and unwanted movement while you use it. But Loop is more than just a comfortable place for your iPad to hang out. The open-loop design ensures you can plug in your Apple Dock Cable to charge and sync during use. And Loop has non-slip rubber feet to protect your furniture.

When Pa Her first started at UW-Madison, her parents didn't come with her to freshman orientation. They picked her up from campus but never saw the inside of a classroom. They didn't know what she meant when she said she was stressed out by final exams.
"My parents, they don't speak English," she said. "They had no idea what this university means. They know it's a great university. Outside of that, they were like, '[We're] not sure what you're going to be doing over there.'"
Her's experience is common among Hmong students, a campus research team has found. That's why Saturday, for only the second time, the university is holding a Hmong Parents Day. At the day-long event, which is held almost entirely in Hmong, parents get to sit in on a college lecture, walk through a dorm and hear from student groups.
"It became very clear to us from this research project that we needed to bring Hmong parents onto campus for them to be able to see what buildings were, to see what the resources were, to find out about their son or daughter's educational experiences first-hand," said Alberta Gloria, a professor of counseling psychology who leads the Hmong Research Team.

The X Factor
X Factor's CeCe Frey on Singing Like Christina Aguilera: "In Your Face, Simon" — Exclusive
CeCe Frey is our spirit animal, warrior princess, soothsayer, and chosen beacon of hope on The X Factor this season. What she lacks in judges' praise, she makes up for tenfold in beauty, nervous giggles, and friendships made of rainbows and light. So, we were delighted to chat with the talent show hopeful exclusively about her November 28 performance of "Lady Marmalade" and what she'll say to Simon Cowell if she gets to stick around for another week.
Wetpaint: How did you feel about your performance tonight?
Cece: I felt amazing. I felt like myself on stage, finally. I was out there having a good time and performing and entertaining, which is what I love to do. It felt great and I'm so happy with it.
How did you take the judges' critiques tonight?
Oh, you know, the judges didn't love it again. What a surprise?
Well, L.A. said he enjoyed the circus, which, okay, whatever. And, Simon said for me to pack a suitcase. I'm not packing a suitcase. I'm not packing a suitcase until America says that its time for me to pack a suitcase. If that's tomorrow, then that's tomorrow, but for now, I'm not going to start packing up just yet. You never know what could happen.
Demi didn't have the same vision as Paige Thomas, but still supported her direction. Was Demi on the same page with what you wanted to do on stage tonight?
Yes, Demi and I definitely worked together. She was very proud of me. She actually chose the song and as soon as she chose it, I was like, "That's it!" I definitely got to do the song that I wanted to do, so I'm thrilled.
When you decided on "Lady Marmalade" as your song, did you have any worries about being compared to the great Christina Aguilera?
Well, yeah! It's definitely nerve-wracking because I grew up listening to Christina Aguilera and singing to her. The way that I taught myself to sing because I've never really been taught to sing, I would just find voices that I loved and would say, "Okay, learn to sing like them!" Christina was one of those voices. I just learned and tried to sing like her. I know that my voice probably isn't right up there with Christina's, but I'm working on it and regardless, that song felt like me and like a song that I would have on my album. Hopefully, if Christina sees it, she'd like it.
If you're still here next week, what can we expect from you after hearing the judges' critiques?
This was definitely over the top, but I don't know. I'm always collaborating with Demi and the rest of the creative team to come up with cool, new things to do and different ways to keep people interested and excited about what I'm doing. There's always ways that I can improve so I'll work even harder next week, God-willing, if I'm still here.
What would you say to Simon if you make it through to the next round?
If I make it through, I will be like, "In your face, Simon!"

Honor and the Status of Women in Democratic Athens
Andrew Yost (2014); Mentor(s): Benjamin Keim
Abstract: The purpose of this research was to gain a better understanding of the social status of women within the classical Athenian democracy, with a particular emphasis on feminine engagement with matters of honor (Greek timê) First, I surveyed modern scholarship on ancient Greek honor and on women in ancient Athens. Next, I read through many texts written by fifth- and fourth-century B.C. authors, ranging from Sophocles to Xenophon, and across genres from philosophy to tragedy. I found that honor was connected to the concept and existence of order. Ancient Athenians considered order to be crucial for a functional society, and this order was achieved by placing both people and things in there correct places, or spheres. When people acted in a way that was expected of them based on what sphere they were in, they were rewarded with honor(s). When people acted in a way that was
contrary to how people in their sphere were expected to act, these actions were viewed as dishonorable, and those individuals received shame. With regard to women, it was believed that the gods had assigned them to work indoors. Thus, their sphere was defined mainly by the oikos, or household. Honor was awarded to women based on how well they acted in accordance with their sphere. Although women in democratic Athens were not entirely constrained by men and the oikos, their presence within this sphere was a fundamental aspect of Athenian society and success.

Eric Vellend's Sparkling Wine Primer
While most people open a bottle of bub to toast an august occasion, I've long made the case for sparkling as an everyday wine. With frothy effervescence and mouthwatering acidity, it's remarkably food-friendly, pairing perfectly with everything from raw oysters to fried chicken. Some of the more robust rosés from Champagne can even match red meat. To help fill your flute for our New Year's Eve menu in the December 2013 issue (pick up your copy on Eastern newsstands November 11 and Western November 18), here's a primer on sparkling wine.
Read up on the long, complicated process of making champagne, and you will appreciate its hefty price tag. It usually starts with a blend of still wines (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier) from various vintages, a secondary fermentation in the bottle to produce the fizz, careful rotation of the bottles to gather dead yeast cells, disgorging those cells, then topping up the bottle with a dosage of white wine, brandy of sugar to adjust the sweetness. Is it worth the big bucks? In most cases, the answer is an emphatic yes. Champagne is by far the most complex sparkling wine with layers of flavour, bracing acidity and a rich, tangy finish. To quote John Maynard Keynes, "My only regret in life is that I did not drink more champagne."
My favourite entry-level bottles from the big houses include Louis Roederer, Perrier-Jouet and Piper-Heidsieck. For great value from smaller producers, look for Gonet-Médeville and Gardet. When it comes to the iconic Veuve Clicquot, you are better off spending a few extra bucks for their single vintage champagnes, which are considerably more interesting than their basic bottle.
Fondly known as "pour man's champagne", Cava is Spain's sparkling wine, most of which is made in the Penedès area of Catalonia, just north of Barcelona. The most common grapes used in Cava production are Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel-lo, and it's bottle fermented like champagne, which, by law, must be referred to as method traditional, so there is no reference to the fiercely copyrighted "champagne."
Since it's younger, cheaper juice and a quicker, more automated process, most Cava is under $20. I rarely come across a cava I don't like. It's generally dry and toasty with a solid backbone of acidity. It's a weekday sparkler, to wash away a bad day, or pair with take-out sushi, one of my favourite food and wine matches. My go-to bottle is Segura Viudas Brut Reserva (see above), and keep your eye out for Codorniu Pinot Noir Brut Rosé Cava.
Prosecco, Italy's famous sparkler, is the darling of restaurateurs, who pour it by the glass and mark it up into the stratosphere. Usually made from Glera grapes, prosecco is produced by the charmat method, where the secondary fermentation takes place in big, stainless steel tanks. Other than price — usually under $20 — the big reason for prosecco's popularity is that it's slightly off-dry. Throw in peachy flavours and softer acidity, and you've got one easy-drinking sparkler. (Warning: Even when the label says 'extra-dry', that's just by prosecco standards, so there is usually still a hint of sweetness.)
While I would take cava over prosecco any day, I've recently enjoyed the basic bottles from Zonin (see above) and Villa Sandi, both of which are under $15.
Other Sparkling Wine
While sparkling wine is made all over the world, the good stuff comes from cooler climates: grapes that get too ripe won't have enough acidity, which is what give the best bubbles its snap, crackle and pop.
Sparklers made in France but outside of the Champange region are usually referred to as crémant. The bulk of these wines come from Alsace and Burgundy and cost around $20. Like cava, I haven't met too many crémants I haven't liked, and I'm especially fond of the ones that come from the Loire and Jura.
On home soil, Canada is producing some world-class sparkling wines. The Niagara's Henry of Pelham Cuvée Catharine Rosé Brut (see above) is consistently delicious with red berry aromas, frothy mousse and vibrant acidity. In Prince Edward County, Hinterland is making killer bubbles using both method traditional and charmat. Look for it on smarter wine lists in Ontario.
Saving the best for last, the Canada's finest sparkling wine is made in — surprise, surprise — Nova Scotia. From the Gaspereau Valley, Benjamin Bridge Brut Reserve Methode Classique 2005 is an exquisitely balanced sparkler that sells for around $100, but can go toe-to-toe with grand cru champagnes that cost three times as much. It also makes a great conversation piece on New Year's Eve.

Do video games need to think beyond the traditional boss fight?
Vincent Smith has a really great, thought-provoking post over at Gamasutra on the need—or lack thereof—of the traditional boss fight in video games.
He starts things off with his initial puzzlement over never facing the Songbird as a boss in BioShock Infinite.
"I found it surprising that despite his ominous presence throughout, the player is never forced to fight Elizabeth's jailor and guardian, The Songbird," writes Smith. "Initially, I was annoyed by this, but then questioned whether the tragic ending to Elizabeth and Songbird's story would have been as affecting if it had come in a cutscene following a traditional boss battle. I feel as though reducing Songbird to an obstacle to be overcome, and putting the player into the mode of memorizing canned attack animations and feeding clips into yet another bullet sponge, would greatly diminish the significance of the character and his relationship with Elizabeth."
Contrast this with Batman: Arkham Asylum.
The tension between the Joker and Batman is great for much of the game, Smith argues, with the Joke constantly taunting "the dark knight from the shadows, forcing him into more and more difficult situations, attempting to break him mentally and emotionally through a variety of means."
And then the boss fight comes, and the Joker "gets turned into a pasty-white rage monster (with an admittedly bitchin' mohawk), and the player is forced to fight him in a fairly uninspired arena battle."
Boss fights are often just simply accepted as essential pieces of a video game. Not every game uses them—BioShock Infinite and The Last of Us both use pinch points where the difficulty suddenly spikes and, once the threat has past, recedes.
Other games have more interesting mini bosses than actual boss fights. I would point to both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls as games with decent boss fights, but with even better mini-boss NPCs. Some of the phantoms in both games present more interesting, and somehow less scripted, fights.
Often boss fights really are just about learning a pattern and wearing down a high hitpoint meter. That can be fun and rewarding, but it can also be tiresome and immersion-breaking. I've said in the past that I'd like to see a game with fewer basic enemies and no bosses. Rather, what we'd have is mini-boss style NPCs as the only bad guys you'd fight. Each would be unique and very difficult, but none would function as end-level or end-game antagonists.
Of course, there's a time and place for boss fights. I just wish they'd be slightly more creative.
Frankly, outside the Artorias expansion, the boss fights in Dark Souls are some of the game's weaker moments. I would love to see boss fights in that game's sequel reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus.
The boss fights in the Devil May Cry reboot, DmC, serve as perfect examples of what not to do in a boss fight. Even the more creative encounters—a boss fight against a conservative talk news host's giant demonic head, for instance—were mechanically bland.
Bosses in God of War are often visually stunning but mechanically boil down to damage sponges that you eventually wear down enough to perform a QTE-based kill move against.
Bosses in many action-RPGs such as Diablo III or Torchlight II are often a huge disappointment—larger and more deadly, but not particularly interesting.
Then there's the final boss fight in indie-space roguelike FTL which ups the difficulty ante so high that the already difficult game is nearly impossible to finish.
On the other hand, the boss fights in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance were quite good thanks to both their challenge and the fact that each boss required you to apply a new strategy. Some of the boss-like encounters in Dragon's Dogma are also quite good—there's really nothing quite like climbing onto the back of some mythic beast only to be hurtled skyward, hanging on by one hand.
I've described combat in video games as a puzzle with moving pieces. This is really apparent in games like Dark Souls or Hotline Miami, and if you pay attention to how your combat obstacles work, you can usually "solve" that puzzle. This is never more true than in a boss fight.
Other games, like The Last of Us, are probably better for their lack of any real bosses. In this sort of game, bosses would likely be jarringly out of place.
What do you think? Do games need boss fights? Which boss fights are the best?

The Medicaid managed care program has caused its fair share of headaches for providers and patients alike since its implementation in 2011, however a bill filed Thursday may be giving providers the ability to find a cure for this persistent headache.
House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, filed HB5, a bill aimed at streamlining the complaint procedures for the Medicaid system and would also set a six-month maximum time limit in which managed care organizations (MCO) could deny payment.
"Now that we are more than a year into Medicaid managed care, we're seeing where things are going well and where improvement is needed, and one major roadblock is the backlog of complaints we're hearing about payment," Stumbo said.
Dr. Syamala Reddy, an ophthalmologist at the Hazard ARH, knows all too well about the backlogs and roadblocks that come along with trying to get payment from the MCOs.
Reddy, who has been a provider to some of his patients for over 30 years, many of them Medicaid users, said one of the main issues with the MCOs is the pre-certification process and wait time. Before any Medicaid patient can be seen, or procedure or test can be started, even something as simple as a check-up, the patient must be pre-authorized and certified to ensure that their care will be covered by their MCO.
The average wait time for a pre-certification is around 48 hours, Reddy said, that is not adding in the amount of time it could take to get through to the company to start the pre-certification process.
"Imagine the hardship the patient goes through when they come in for a check-up, and I send a request for a pre-cert, come back after two days to hear a response," Reddy said. "On average, it takes seven minutes of my time to get any telephone call to talk to somebody. Not to count the number of hours my staff has taken."
Reddy said he has allocated one staff member, Keila Pigman, solely for the job of handling all Medicaid calls and pre-certifications because it is too much of a hassle to have everyone on staff trying to add that to their workload.
"You fight tooth and nail and stay on the phone for four hours for them to tell you that they're not going to approve it. It's not worth it," Pigman said. "They don't care about the patients' health; they just care about how much money it's going to cost them."
Reddy said he has also had issues with what medicines the MCOs will cover for his patients. Fourth-generation antibiotics and medicines, which are the newest and strongest medicines in the field right now, are not being covered most of the time. MCOs will only cover older generations of medicine, Reddy said, and he has even been denied coverage for a first-generation medicine, Neosporin, an over-the-counter antiseptic costing anywhere from $2-5.
Dr. J.D. Miller, ARH's vice president of medical affairs, said the problems with the new system are making everything difficult for everyone involved in the process.
"Even if you did provide care, if they can't get their medicines and can't do the other things, they're still not going to get the kind of care they need," Miller said.
Reddy explained that he and other doctors are unable to prescribe any brand name medicine if there is a substitute or generic version available. He said most substitutes and generic versions of medicines are cheaper because the quality is much lower, and thinks the MCOs should not compromise their patient's care just to save a few dollars that could have to be spent anyway if the patient lets their condition worsen due to frustration with the system.
One out of every six patients Reddy sees, he claimes, drops out of his care because they are frustrated with wait times or non-coverage.
Miller said the new system has been causing the process of getting patients treated to slow down, so much so sometimes that patients will often not return to be treated after waiting to be pre-certified.
Miller said, "Truly, I think the name of the game is to make it harder to receive services because that costs less."
Reddy attended all of the introductory sessions with the new MCOs when it was announced the changes to the system would happen, and at each one he was told providers would be looking at very minimal changes to the way they handled Medicaid, if any at all. Now, Reddy said the organizations have not kept their promises.
He said with the previous Medicaid system, providers knew who they were talking to when they called the Medicaid office in Frankfort for assistance or pre-authorization for their patients. Now, however, the Medicaid MCOs each have their own separate call centers, which he said do not communicate with each other.
"Things were pretty clear, what we can expect, where we don't have coverage, where we have coverage, what kind of coverage we have. Today, the three managed care companies we call, we don't know whom we're talking to; these call centers could be just anywhere on the planet," Reddy said.
Reddy and Miller are members of the Medical Staff Leadership Council for the ARH hospitals. Those members from the Kentucky River area, including Reddy and Miller, came together last week and wrote and signed a letter to the editor addressing some of their concerns with the Medicaid system.
Calls made to the Medicaid managed care program in Frankfort were not returned this week, while calls made to the three MCOs, Kentucky Spirit, ConentryCares, and WellCare, were also unsuccessful.
Reddy, who suggested writing the letter, said he hopes this gives his patients a voice that they might not think they have.
Another House bill aims to address issues with MCOs
Another House bill might also help give Medicaid users, like Reddy's patients, more of a voice as well if it is passed.
State Representative Rick Nelson, a Democrat representing Bell County and part of Harlan County, is the sponsor for HB42, a bill he said could give a solution to what he called an emergency situation.
"It's obvious that the managed care companies, that something has to be done," Nelson said.
The bill would allow medical providers, doctors, hospitals, and others the ability to get out of their contracts with the Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs). Whether the provider works with any of the three MCOs — CoventryCares of Kentucky, Kentucky Spirit Health Plan, or WellCare of Kentucky — if the organization commits what the bill calls a "breach of contract" then the provider can terminate their contract and essentially start using the Medicaid system that was in effect before Jan. 1, 2011.
Nelson said he originally had the idea for the bill because health departments in the state were having to cut programs like school nurses because they were not receiving payment from the MCOs.
"It's a big deal to have nursing centers in the schools," Nelson said. "Bell County Health Department is $90,000 behind in their managed health care payments."
Nelson said the bill identifies multiple ways the MCOs could commit a breach of contract, including failure to pay the provider and failure to provide a medically necessary service to a Medicaid member.
Nelson pre-filed the bill in December, and it was brought before the House Health and Welfare Committee in early January. There has been no vote taken on the bill yet, but Nelson said he is optimistic that it will pass based on the amount of support he has received from other lawmakers.

How does Milton use Epic conventions in "Paradise Lost"?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Epic conventions are literary devices used to establish the genre of epic poetry or prose. Epic conventions were first created by the poet Homer. In "Paradise Lost," Milton uses epic conventions to help the reader understand the nature and purpose of his work. In the beginning of the poem, Milton calls upon the muses. This is an important conventional technique that gives literary credibility to the work. "Paradise Lost" describes a story familiar to the readers, using characters the readers already know. It explores the relationship between divine characters and human characters. It emphasizes fate over free will, as the characters are powerless to escape their destinies.

MADISON COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) – If you voted in Madison County today you probably ran into campaign volunteers for two of the Superintendent candidates.
Matt Massey and Ronnie Blair's teams were out in full force today hoping to sway indecisive voters.
However, the current superintendent, David Copeland was conspicuously absent from the election day push. In his absence, Massey and Blair made every effort to make sure voters knew their names.
Both men spent the day courting voters as they showed up to the polls. Each candidate hopes to sit behind the desk at the central office, and both feel good about their chances.
"We're definitely looking forward to the results this evening," said Blair.
"It's been a very big learning experience, but it's also been very fun," said Massey.
We asked both men what they thought of Dr. Copeland's absence. Both indicated they saw it as par for the course.
"In Madison County we need to have a culture change," said Massey.
"I hope if we get into the central office we can start making decisions and doing what's right for our kids," said Blair.
Both men and their armies of campaign volunteers are hoping their hours in the hot election day sun pay off.
"Who knows what's going to happen after 8 p.m. tonight? My life could change drastically or we could just keep plugging along," said Massey.
"I love working with our kids in the Toney/Harvest area but I would love to work with all 20,000 of them in the system," said Blair. "If that's what the voters and the good Lord wants, that's where I want to be."
Blair will host a results party with his family at a restaurant this evening around 7 p.m.
Massey says he's going to await the results with just his family from the comfort of his home.
WHNT News 19 reached out to David Copeland several times today and yesterday, but never heard back.
Polls close at 7 p.m. We'll have state and local election results throughout the evening on WHNT News 19 and WHNT.com.

The Czech economy has been severely hit by the global economic and financial crisis. Massive drop of GDP led to increase in the unemployment rate.

There is no evidence that hedge funds were a cause of financial crisis. In addition, hedge funds is not related to systemic risk, directly.

One of the possibilities how to reduce disadvantages coming with the limited size of enterprises, is their joining together in order to better face their competitors and to extend their life at the market as well. The cooperation strategy and creation of clusters of micro and small-sized enterprises create conditions not only for the better access to loans for their own expansion but also provide better possibility of the effective use of the market place. 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z The impact of corporate social responsibility on business competitiveness http://hdl.handle.net/10195/38504 Název: The impact of corporate social responsibility on business competitiveness Autoři: Stříteská, Michaela; Kubizňáková, Kateřina Abstrakt: One of the most widespread debates is the issue whether it is advantageous for companies to pay attention to corporate social responsibility initiatives.

The purpose of the paper is to investigate the potential impacts of corporate social responsibility on business competitiveness on the basis of key research studies comparison. 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z

A bus driver who crashed through metal railings and ended up in the middle of Jesus Green has apologised for his "misjudgment".
Richard Bilverstone clipped the kerb of a pedestrian island in Victoria Avenue and lost control of his single-decker Stagecoach bus, magistrates in Cambridge heard.
The 46-year-old driver veered across the road, left the highway, smashed through a wrought iron fence and finally came to a halt on Jesus Green.
Angela Sassoli, prosecuting, said: "As a result of the collision, the bus was damaged, as was roadside furniture and two passengers on the bus sustained slight injuries."
Bilverstone, of Woodlands Court, Wisbech, pleaded guilty by post to driving without due care and attention in relation to the incident, which happened at about 2.45pm on November 9. He did not attend the hearing.
In a letter to the court, he said: "Regarding this unfortunate incident which I am admitting responsibility for, I can honestly say that I made a misjudgment at the time the incident occurred but I was in control prior to the incident taking place.
"I clipped the corner of the island kerb and momentarily lost control of the bus. I quickly assessed the situation and tried to correct my position in the safest way but the momentum and the very quick time in which it happened kept the bus moving until the position I ended up in."
He said he felt if he had not carried out the manoeuvre, there "could have been further consequences".
Bilverstone, who no longer works for Stagecoach, said: "I cannot explain how or why it happened, only to say I made the mistake and sincerely regret and feel ashamed and embarrassed that this error took place."
He said he wanted to apologise for the "stress, discomfort and inconvenience" he had caused to the passengers he was carrying.
The defendant said he had been a bus driver for 16 years and a car driver for another 10 before that and he had never had any major accidents or convictions since holding a full driving licence.
Magistrate Derek Manning said: "We have taken into account Mr Bilverstone's early guilty plea and his letter explaining what he thought had happened."
He fined Bilverstone £200, ordered him to pay costs of £70 and a £20 victim surcharge and put six points on his licence.

Shall a Shofar be blown in a city, and the people not tremble?
(Amos 3:6)
On Rosh Chodesh Elul Hashem said to Moshe Rabenu "Ascend to me to the mountain to receive the second Tablets of the Commandments and sound the Shofar in the encampment, declaring: 'Moshe went up to the Mountain'".
Therefore our Sages instituted for all future generations to blow the shofar every year during the entire month of Elul in order to arouse the people to repentance. (Pirkei Rabbi Eliezer 46)

Comfort, Comfort, My People
(Isaiah 40:1)
The portion of the Prophets read on the Shabbos after Tisha B'Av begins with the above sentence in which the word Comfort is repeated twice. A similar case of repetition is found four weeks later when we read: It is I, It is I who comforts you (Isaiah 51:12).
These repetitions allow us to understand how we are able to abruptly find comfort right after three weeks of sadness and mourning that began with marking the troubles of the blockade of the Holy City on the seventeenth of Tamuz that concluded with the destruction of the City and the Holy Temple. What comfort can be found if the situation has not changed?

(Selichot Prayer)
The four fast days mentioned by the Prophet Zecharia (8:19), mark days of sad events in our history. The fasting and praying should not lead us into despair and hopelessness. The effect of our efforts on these days should be to go on with confidence awaiting deliverance and consolation.
The Gemorah (Taanis 27A) tells of five troubles happening on the Seventeenth of Tammuz. One of them was the burning of the Sefer Torah by the Greek tyrant Opostumos in an effort to demean and discourage our people. The purpose of marking such events is to promote us onto a path of ...

Is To Be Celebrated On Shavuos.

The Gemorah gives the reason for special joy on Shavuos: For on that day the Torah was given. Rashi (Exodus 19:2) tells us that upon their approach to Mount Sinai on the first of Sivan: "They were like one person with one heart".

BW Trustees voted at their winter meeting to adopt the name change after months of study.
The changes include the university designation as well as dropped hyphen.
Classes at Berea, Beachwood, Online
A thriving university, BW has over 4,100 students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs on its 125-acre Berea campus, online and at BW in Beachwood.
It's Official: Baldwin Wallace University
BW's Structure and University Program Offerings
Since the U.S. News & World Report survey of "America's Best Colleges" was established nearly two decades ago, Baldwin Wallace has been listed among the top Masters Universities - Midwest. BW was considered a university because of the breadth of its academic program and number of graduate degrees awarded each year.
According to criteria set by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the 200-plus graduate degrees BW awards in the 13 program offerings in business and education qualifies it as a large-size graduate program.
BW currently offers more than 60 major areas of study in seven academic divisions, many of which are in pre-professional areas. Of the 10 undergraduate and graduate programs added in recent years and several others in the approval process, most are viewed as university offerings.
Task Force Sought Input
In fall 2011 former BW President Richard Durst established a task force to review the advisability of changing the name. The group was chaired by William Spiker, vice president for advancement. Members recommended the adoption of "university" following five months of study and constituent surveys that included input from students, alumni, faculty and staff, with each group favoring the change.
Liberal Arts and Personal Attention Remain
"Members of the Task Force—and ultimately the Board of Trustees—concluded the change to university designation more completely conveys who we are today as well as the institution that is emerging for tomorrow," noted Durst in making the announcement. "What will not change is our dedication to the liberal arts as the foundation for a lifetime of learning and our core values. The BW focus on student learning and personal growth, individual attention and exceptional achievement will be unwavering."
Return to Historic Name
BW was founded in 1845 as Baldwin Institute and re-chartered ten years later as Baldwin University. In 1913 Baldwin University merged with neighboring German Wallace College to become Baldwin-Wallace College.
