Schulman falls short of estimates on Europe weakness
April 8, 2013 | Vincent Valk
A. Schulman today reported fiscal second-quarter net income up 29.7% year-on-year (YOY), to $11.8 million, on sales up 5.3%, to $522.4 million. A tax allowance and an acquisition drove the increases in earnings and sales, however. Excluding the tax allowance, adjusted earnings fell 28.9%, to 27 cts/share, well short of analysts' estimates of 40 cts/share, as reported by Thomson Reuters (New York). Schulman's fiscal second-quarter ended on 28 February. "This was the first quarter in quite some time where our Americas and...

Cannondale Takes Co-Title Sponsorship of New Mountain Bike Race Team – Riders Prepare to Dominate Upcoming Cross-Country and Endurance Race Season
Cannondale is happy to announce its partnership with Team Sho-Air Inc. and launch Sho-Air/Cannondale. Operating out of Southern California. Sho-Air/Cannondale will be Cannondale's North American arm of its global mountain bike race category. The team will represent Cannondale's factory mountain bike efforts in North America and will support the Cannondale Factory Racing Team during their North American World Cup appearances.
The Sho-Air/Cannondale force will consist of professionals Max Plaxton, Pua Mata, Alex Grant, Jeremiah Bishop, Tinker Juarez, and Manny Prado as team support. Before joining Sho-Air /Cannondale, Grant, Bishop, and Juarez were members of Cannondale Factory Racing. Also featured on the team will be motorsports legends Eric Bostrom and Josh Hayes. The team will be managed by five-time amateur National Champion and Director of Team Operations, Tyson Kady.
Plaxton is a five-time National Champion, two-time Pan-American Champion, and was awarded a Bronze Medal at the 2006 U-23 World Championships. Juarez has represented the U.S. in two Olympics, is a three-time U.S. Cross-Country National Champion, and is a four-time U.S. 24-Hour National Champion.

By C.J. McMANUSSun Advocate reporter
East Carbon City Mayor Orlando LaFontaine has admitted to being the author of an unsigned, negative campaign letter aimed at mayoral candidate Barbara Fisher and council member Darrell Valdez. LaFontaine also said 400 copies were printed on the city office printer with stationary of his own.
In the early morning hours before Tuesday's municipal elections, LaFontaine and a group of supporters blanketed the town of East Carbon with the material hitting nearly every home in the small city.
The two-sided letter stated in bold type, "Vote for the future. Vote NO for Barbra [sic] Fisher. Vote NO for Darrel [sic] Valdez. Vote YES for new faces!"
On its reverse, the letter took issue with Fisher's prior record as a council member and some of her comments during an October debate hosted by the Sun Advocate.
The letter accused Fisher of causing city debt, favoring the arrival of ECDC to get her husband a job and allowing sub-par sidewalks and roads to be installed in East Carbon.
Her son, although not named in the letter, was repeatedly attacked in print.
As for Valdez, the letter took issue with his work history, his son's position at East Carbon City and his management of a malt stand in the town.
"I wrote this letter because of their record. Their record speaks for itself," said LaFontaine. "Valdez says he is a voice for the people, what voice? I've never heard him report at a council meeting."
East Carbon write-in mayoral candidate Marcus Palacios criticized the letter through various channels, including social media and the Sun Advocate.
"I had absolutely nothing to do with this letter and am appalled by this kind of negative and slanderous tactic," he said in an interview with the newspaper Tuesday morning. "Both the Valdez and Fisher families are great members of this community and don't deserve to have their names drug through the mud over what amounts to a list of lies and half truths."
Both Valdez and Fisher were stunned by the letter which has been the only negative salvo launched during an otherwise friendly campaign atmosphere.
"I stand by everything that I said in the letter," continued LaFontaine. "At the last minute I decided to do that. We need new faces and that includes me, that's why I'm not running again."
During the Sun Advocate's public debate on Oct. 17, none of the issues mentioned in the letter where brought up as a challenge to Fisher's platform.
Upset by the last minute tactics, Valdez approached city hall to inquire about whether a large number of copies had been made there Monday night. According to city officials, more than 400 duplicates were made near 11 p.m.
"For someone to attack the work history of a pensioned 30 year coal miner is laughable to me," said Valdez. "My position has nothing to do with my family and attacking my family in a municipal election is so far out of line I don't know what to say. I've never said a negative or slanderous thing about a political opponent. I don't know what to think of this. I just want to give our residents someone they aren't afraid to talk to."
East Carbon Police Chief Sam Leonard stated earlier that the matter was under investigation. However, LaFontaine's admission that he did write and distribute the letter may change the nature of that investigation.
"Who else would write something like that?" asked LaFontaine. "I really thought that everyone would know that the letter was from me. I didn't sign the consolidation letter that went out and everyone knew it was from me. So I just thought everyone would understand that this was from me as well."

Computers are used for committing crime, and, thanks to the burgeoning science of digital evidence forensics, law enforcement now uses computers to fight crime.
Digital evidence is information stored or transmitted in binary form that may be relied on in court. It can be found on a computer hard drive, a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a CD, and a flash card in a digital camera, among other places.[1] Digital evidence is commonly associated with electronic crime, or e-crime, such as child pornography or credit card fraud. However, digital evidence is now used to prosecute all types of crimes, not just e-crime. For example, suspects' e-mail or mobile phone files might contain critical evidence regarding their intent, their whereabouts at the time of a crime and their relationship with other suspects. In 2005, for example, a floppy disk led investigators to the BTK serial killer who had eluded police capture since 1974 and claimed the lives of at least 10 victims.
In an effort to fight e-crime and to collect relevant digital evidence for all crimes, law enforcement agencies are incorporating the collection and analysis of digital evidence, also known as computer forensics, into their infrastructure. Law enforcement agencies are challenged by the need to train officers to collect digital evidence and keep up with rapidly evolving technologies such as computer operating systems.
NIJ's Electronic Crime Program, which includes the Electronic Crime Center of Excellence, supports the development of tools to assist state and local law enforcement in combating e-crime and collect digital evidence. The program has five main focus areas:

Traditionally, Armed Forces Day celebrations are conducted at or near large military installations on the third Saturday in May. In previous years not all cities and towns participated. There just wasn't a direct connection.
That all changed Sept.11,2001. Today our community is blessed with outstanding men serving in uniform on our behalf in the war against terrorism. They are our neighbors and relatives who are members of the National Guard and Reserves sharing the burden of battling terrorism around the globe with active duty forces. They're also the wives and husbands, the children and family members who pray for the safe return of their loved ones every day they are deployed with their unit.
This Armed Forces Day, May 21, members of the American Legion will serve a special breakfast at the Price Elks Lodge, for these hometown heroes and their families from 9 to 11 a.m.
They are America's newest wartime veterans. We are honored to call them comrades.

The Carbon County Tourism Tax Advisory Board met to take action for the first time on applications for project funding last Wednesday.
In the March 25 meeting, the panel recommended that the county commission approve $62,567 for the applications.
The board reviewed 14 applications during the five and one-half hour session. Last Wednesday was the first time the panel, created from the restaurant tax and tourism travel boards, was able to deal with funding of projects and events.
The first meeting of the board took place in January when administrative and organizational issues were discussed concerning the structure and the responsibilities of the panel.
In the past, the two former boards handled the money generated by tourism taxes that had been placed on restaurants and lodging facilities a decade ago.
The tourism board handled the transient room tax that was collected at lodging facilities in the county.
The other board handled requests for money generated in the tourism, recreation, cultural and convention tax fund, better known as the restaurant tax.
However, some of the restaurant tax money had been also given to the travel board by the county commission to use for various projects that applications came in for.
At the time, the restaurant tax board was advisory only, while the travel panel gave approvals and forwarded that information to the commission.
The recently merged board is a recommendation body and the final decision on any monies disbursed must have final approval by the county commissioners.
The applications before the tourism advisory board for money read like a who's who of events and venues in the county.
The board dealt with the issues by having a presentation by the groups requesting the funds. Following the presentations, deliberations took place concerning the money requested by the applicants.
The board also had to deal with several legal questions that assistant county attorney Christian Bryner brought to the table at the start of the meeting.
The issues dealt with the board's by-laws and the question of whether funds can be used to support private as well as governmental entities.
"My research indicates we can support private entities that are involved in these kinds of activities," said Bryner. "The money is not restricted to governmental or public entities only."
The research answered a key question because several requests before the board were for private projects.
These are the projects approved by the board and an explanation of them.
â¢Patrick Braun presented a proposal for the Rock and Mineral Show at College of Eastern Utah in June.
He said the money would be used for outside advertising to bring more people into the area as well as for some signage advertising the event.
He requested $3,500 and the board approved the funds, based on the fact that the show has been successful in the past and Braun had provided documentation on where the funds were spent for previous shows.
â¢Allison Sundahl of CEU Prehistoric Museum made a presentation asking for money to do some changes on the billboards located at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon and east of Price on U.S. Highway 6.
She also asked the board to help with the costs of installing a new billboard in Fruita, Colo., to advertise the museum on Interstate 70. She requested $9,385, and the board recommended the museum be given $5,450 for the projects.
However, the board requested that the museum reconsider the plans for the billboard in Colorado and possibly move it into Utah.
â¢Chanel Atwood from the Castle Country Regional Information Center requested $17,000 for operations of the facility.
The information center is a partnership with a number of different federal, state and local agencies that exist in the area and it provides guidance and tourism information to visitors to the area. The center is located in the lobby of the CEU museum. The board recommended that the commission approve the entire amount with $13,500 coming from the TRCC and $3500 coming from the TRT.
â¢Steve Christensen of Carbon County Recreation presented a proposal for a fall Castle Country Bike Fest and asked for $4,117 to get it started.
The event would be staged north of Price on the trails that exist in the area. The money would be used for advertising to get out of the area bikers to come into Carbon County. Christensen said he hopes to grow this into an annual event so that people will not always bypass Price to go to Moab to mountain bike.
â¢Tom King of the Carbon County Country Club and Golf Course made a presentation requesting $10,000 for the Black Diamond tournament. The board recommended the tournament get $5,000.
â¢Andy Urbanik from the East Carbon City Council made a proposal concerning Community Daze. He said the town wants to make the event into one that will draw more people from outside the area than in the past.
He requested $10,000 for advertising the event and the car show. The board recommended $8,000 with the stipulation that the town shows the money was used for promotion of the event.
â¢Larry Ganzer, Helper city councilman, represented the Helper Art and Music Festival's request for $12,500. The board recommended the entire amount for the event.
â¢Jared Haddock made a presentation concerning the Little Grand Canyon Marathon. Last year's event was successful with more than 300 people in attendance. Thirty percent to 40 percent of the people were from out of state.
Haddock said he expects 600 people to come to the 2009 event. He requested $3,600 for advertising. There was some concern from the board because the event is in Emery County. But Haddock explained that almost all the people involved in the event stay in Price area lodging and spend money in Carbon County. He also pointed out that a number of the people who came to the event stayed multiple days. Two families even stayed two weeks. The board granted him the funds, and he was asked to present documentation as to how the money is spent.
â¢The Scofield Triathlon is now a dozen years old and Burke Priest along with event director Brogg Sterrett made a presentation concerning the July 18 event. The triathlon has grown tremendously the last three years and the half Iron Man Competition will be presented for the second time in conjunction with the regular 2009 triathlon. The promoters expect about 650 people this year. They were requesting $10,000 for promotion; the board recommended $5,000.
There were also a number of projects tabled or turned down for funds. Price City requested $10,000 for the Bryner Museum, but since the foundation that wants to put the museum together neither owns the house nor the property, board members were reluctant to put money into it at this time.
Also, Lloyd Logan from the CEU Prehistoric Museum made a presentation to the board concerning the purchase and operation of a Broncosaur at various venues the museum travels to promote the facility and the area. The machine would be similar to a mechanical bucking bull, but would look like a dinosaur. Logan maintained that use of the machine at the state fair, expositions and other places the museum staff goes to promote the museum would put the area in the minds of people after they left the event and bring them to eastern Utah as tourists. The board, while recognizing the advertising value of the idea, had some reservations concerning insurance issues and asked that the museum come back to request funds when that issue is cleared up.
The board also did not recommend funds for the CEU Evolutionary Gardens, the Black Diamond Rodeo nor the Sunnyside Rodeo.

A refurbished clubhouse and a new fleet of totally electric power carts are greeting golfers as the St. Lawrence State Park Golf Course has opened for a third season under the direction of Golf Services Inc. Golf Services Inc. President Doug Horton reports that the staff at the course is glad to be outside after spending much of the winter months doing the interior renovations.
Golf Services Inc. leases the St. Lawrence State Park and Wellesley Island State Park courses from New York State. This fall the staff of Golf Services constructed nine new tees at the Wellesley Island course. There are some wet spots out there which is to be expected considering the weather but the course came through the winter in good shape, said Doug Horton of the state park course.
We have come a long way in two years. We now have 100 members, our leagues will soon be forming and we are now booking outings. We dont have any major projects planned on the course this season, we just want to continue working hard to giving golfers the best playing conditions possible.
The course is now offering Spring rates of: $10 to walk nine holes, $15 to walk 18 holes, $15 to play nine holes with a cart and $25 to play 18 holes with a cart.
A variety of season memberships are also available along with the option of purchasing a cart pass which offers 20 nine hole rounds for $120. All members of the state park course can also play five free rounds at the Wellesley Island course.
Golf Services has also purchased 20 new all electric carts with tops, rain covers, windshields, divot repair kits and coolers.
Horton will be involved on-site at the course this season and reports that the entire grounds staff will be returning: Joe Desgrosielier, Mel Fichette and Rocco and Ryan Perretta.
Golf Services Inc. has also assumed operations of the clubhouse and Horton reports that in the near future a full bar with a limited food menu will be offered. Also, for the first time, the course will offer a beverage cart out on the course.
We will do our best to fill the shoes of Greg and Stacy Sholette and the staff at the 10th Hole Grill. We will be filling a few positions inside, said Horton.Greg (Sholette) will continue to direct the mens league and the senior league and we hope to see he and Stacy and their family out enjoying the course as much as possible.
The mens league will hold an organizational meeting on April 29 and the Ben Cordwell Memorial Senior League will begin Friday play as soon the weather permits.
Golf Services Inc. is also continuing its support of the OFA Golf Program which will continue to play its home matches at the state park course. Every member of the OFA team receives a free junior membership from Golf Services.We want to do everything we can to support golf among young people. Its great for the kids and great for the course to have those young players up here playing all summer, said Horton who urges anyone with any questions on any aspects of the course to call 393-2286.

There are truths which are not for all men, nor for all times. -Voltaire
Re: MOS options
I had was having a very hard time with my first recruiter returning my phone calls/emails so I called another recruiter in the state and he seemed to have a lot more drive and it has never been more than 24 hours for him to get back to me even on the weekends. So if you feel your recruiter isn't giving you his all another recruiter may, just a thought.
Re: MOS options
I'm meeting my recruiter face to face today. I've called him a few times with weird questions and he has always answered straight away. My brother is a Marine and his recruiter would answer texts and calls immediately. My brother went out to pool functions just before and after signing on. The recruiter even came to my parents house and answered all of their questions. I agree with the above post. If you're uncomfortable with your recruiter, maybe try to find another.

The skies of Central and Northern New York will be a part of a nationwide test of drones in civilian airspace.
The region is one of six nationwide that were selected by the Federal Aviation Administration Monday.
The bid from Central New York-based Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research Alliance, or NUAIR, will put the drone flights in multiple areas of central and Northern New York, including Fort Drum, along with portions of Massachusetts. NUAIR includes 40 academic institutions and private and public entities from the two states.
The FAA said the site was picked to work on developing test and evaluation as well as verification and validation processes under FAA safety oversight.
NUAIRs application was pushed along by CenterState Corporation for Economic Opportunity in New York and MassDevelopment in Massachusetts, and was submitted by Griffiss International Airport.
What we saw is there was a big competition, said Robert M. Simpson, president of Centerstate CEO and NUAIR. To be only one of six picked is a great accomplishment for the team that wrote the application.
The FAA said that the airport also plans to focus its research on sense-and-avoid capabilities for UAS and its sites will aid in researching the complexities of integrating UAS into the congested, northeast airspace.
Other sites and groups picked for the test are the University of Alaska, the state of Nevada, the North Dakota Department of Commerce, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and Virginia Tech.
FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said in a conference call with reporters that the selected sites represented a wide range of airspaces and climates.
The competition for a test site was robust, he said, as 25 entities in 24 states submitted proposals. At least one of the six sites chosen will be up and running within 180 days, while the others are expected to come online in quick succession, he said during the call.
Mr. Simpson said the FAAs timeline was in line with their own timeline, stating more research was needed for the placement of ground-based radars, along with the development of detection software for the aircraft.
In light of the recent crash of a New York Air National Guard MQ-9 Reaper into Lake Ontario, Mr. Simpson said our goal through this test designation is to find a safety standard that is equal to or higher than any other means, Mr. Simpson said.
The site selections are a part of a plan to expand their use.
The FAA does not allow commercial use of drones, but it is working to develop operational guidelines by the end of 2015, although officials concede the project may take longer than expected. The FAA projects some 7,500 commercial drones could be aloft within five years of getting widespread access to American airspace.
The six sites will be authorized for test purposes until Feb. 13, 2017.
According to NUAIR, the drone industry is projected to bring more than $800 million in economic impact to New York and Massachusetts and create more than 4,000 jobs over the next three years.
The selection of six sites was prompted by the the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012.
U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., in a news release, said the move was a slam dunk that would make the area the Silicon Valley for unmanned aircraft flight.
The strong coalition of academic, public and private sector partners helped make New Yorks application stronger than ever, and I made sure the FAA knew just how deserving New York-based NUAIR was for this designation, Sen. Schumer said. This unmanned air systems research and testing will usher in jobs while benefiting key industries, like agriculture and logistics.
Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said in a statement that she was pleased with the announcement.
This designation can pave the way for new economic growth and good-paying jobs for the region, and boost our research and development of new technology, she said.
Mr. Huerta said his agency is sensitive to privacy concerns involving drones. Test sites must have a written plan for data use and retention and will be required to conduct an annual review of privacy practices that involves public comment.

AIA Applauds Common Sense Export Control ReformsJul. 18, 2011
The Aerospace Industries Association welcomes the administration's proposed rule to relieve low-risk technology exports of burdensome and unnecessary restrictions.
"For years the U.S. export control system has created confusion and delay in exporting defense equipment to our allies and driven up compliance costs across the industrial base," said AIA President and CEO Marion C. Blakey. "These reforms are common sense ways of supporting our military partners and our export competitiveness."
The rule proposes that after appropriate interagency review and consensus, technologies with low or no military or intelligence sensitivity will be…

I'll do GPG here soon. Maybe even SSL. ;D
I decided I want to be safe, SSL, GPG, SSH and all those nifty abriviations. But I know nothing about safety, so I need you to write me PETs
I'll do GPG here soon. Maybe even SSL. ;D
[quote author=Master Copy link=board=5;threadid=8363;start=0#msg75899 date=1072557202]
I'll do GPG here soon. Maybe even SSL. ;D
I dont get it.
But I was serious, I have advogated secure computing for a while, but have yet to actually make an effort - since I believe that secure computing should be effortless (default behavior).
I use SSH to access all of my remote servers. If you're using that and you want to ensure security, disable password logins and only use SSH keys (I use RSA w/ 2048-bit encrpytion).
Start messing with VPN links between you and a buddy. Find a mail host that supports SSL and use it. Get your self some GPG and encrypt some mail! Just start doing it, and if you get stuck anywhere we'll be glad to help you along.
Anything that you use internally or with friends (non-public) put thorough SSL. If it doesn't have options for SSL, use stunnel to tunnel just about any network app through SSL.
The other end would need to support SSL, correct?

The one-day, family event, which began in 1973, features a woolly bear costume contest in which children, even pets, are dressed up as various renditions of the woolly bear caterpillar. Touted as the largest one-day festival in Ohio, the event is held every year around Oct. 1 on a Sunday on which the Cleveland Browns do not have a home game. The festival is the brainchild of legendary Cleveland TV personality Dick Goddard, longtime weatherman at WJW-TV. Enjoy these pictures taken by Joe Centers.

|Life in Prison in Double Homicide
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 09 October 2012 05:05
A double homicide from just under two years ago has now sent Jeremy Daniel Russom, to prison for the rest of his life after sentencing yesterday in Watauga Court. The 29-year old was sentenced to life in prison without parole after pleading guilty Monday to first-degree murder,
and was sentenced by Judge Gary Gavenus. Russom was charged in November 2010 with the murders of Heather Baumgardner, the mother of his children, and her boyfriend, Barry Cook, at Baumgardner's home on Mabel School Road in Zionville. He was the subject of a massive search that ended when he was arrested about four hours after the shooting. He was caught after arranging to meet family members in Foscoe, then fled from officers near Country Retreat Family Billiards in Foscoe. The son of Baumgardner and Russon, 6-years old at the time, witnessed the killings, according to the investigation. Russom apparently broke into the house and awaited Baumgardner, 24, and Cook, 39, then shot and killed both before fleeing.

Here is something I use for my players that allows me to get a good background outline from my players to break the ice with. It gets people thinking, which is good, without overwhelming them with questions. It's based off of the Minimus RPG engine, copyright 2008 Ad Astra Games, used with permission. Minimus is donation-ware, so if you like the TMB, please consider donating for a copy of Minimus, as per the instructions in the file.
The Ten-Minute Background
In an attempt to get all the information I need to create stuff from character backgrounds without having to continually push for information, I am asking that you create backgrounds the following way:
Step 1: Write 5 background and concept elements that you feel are important to your image of the character. These can be a concept overview, a list of important life events, a physical description, a personality profile...whatever you need to get an image in your mind. 5 is just a minimum...more elements are encouraged!
[Example: Martin Tenbones]
1) He is a former pirate and retired adventurer and now owns a tavern in the city of St. Clarice.
2) He is outgoing and charismatic, and attempts to keep abreast of all the local gossip and juicy secrets that pass his way, because he believes that knowledge is power.
3) He and his former adventuring band fought against the forces of the pirate captain Craven, who was a major lieutenant for the current Dread Pirate Hellbeard. He used the wealth that he acquired to build his tavern, but he sometimes worries that the pirates may one day decide to find him and extract revenge.
4) Though he is still friends with most of his former adventuring mates, some of them parted the group on bad terms. His girlfriend went back to the sea to fight pirates once more, but he received word that her vessel was taken by Hellbeard and believes she was killed. He mourns her death.
5) Although he is retired, he can be convinced to adventure again if he hears that Sasha (his lost love) may still be alive, or if he is contacted by the White Foxes during a crisis (see secrets).
Step 2: List at least two goals for the character. At least one of these goals should be one that the character has, while another should be one that you, as a player, want to see developed over the course of the game.
1) I would like to see Martin reunited with his lost love and perhaps able to mend fences with some of his former adventuring buddies over the course of this campaign.
2) It would be cool to have Martin face and possibly defeat the Dread Pirate Hellbeard once and for all.
Step 3: List at least two secrets about your character. One is a secret the character knows, one is a secret that involves him but that he is not actually aware of yet. This will help me in creating plots that center around your character. I will also be creating a third secret which you as a player will not be aware of, so expect some surprises!
1) Martin is a member of the White Fox Society, a secret society dedicated to keeping Coralton free of tyranny and evil, as well as keeping local governments honest. He provides information and rumors to them, but can be convinced to take a more active roll if pressed.
2) Sasha LeBell, Marin's lost love, is still alive. She was captured by the Dread Pirate Hellbeard and has been kept as his captive for all these years.
3) (Example of a secret I might make up about your character): Not only is Sasha alive, but also she has escaped captivity and killed Hellbeard. She has taken over his ship and crew, and has turned to piracy out of bitterness. She now IS the new Dread Pirate Hellbeard!
Step 4: Describe at least three people that are tied to the character. Two of them are friendly to the character, one is hostile. If you like, you can include an enemy of yours here as well, so I have an instant NPC nemesis to throw at you.
1) Martin's friend Audric Cwellen was one of his adventuring mate. Audric, a holy warrior in the service of the Goddess of Love, is the leader of the local cell of the White Fox society, and provides Martin with information and adventure hooks.
2) Another of Martin's old traveling companions, Aubrey LeVaine, is not as helpful as Audric, because they quarreled over the love of Sasha, and Aubrey is still bitter about losing her to Martin. Still, he can provide some magical support if Martin can convince him to let go of his hate.
3) Yebin Thistledown is a strange little creature from the Feywild called a gnome. Martin met the gnome in the Shroudmist Forest and saved him from a pack of Howlers. The Gnome makes all sorts of alchemical items and gadgets, and loves collecting odd souvenirs and items, as well as "recreational herbs." He operates a bizarre patchwork shop in the Rue Angélique district.
Step 5: Describe three memories, mannerisms, or quirks that your character has. They don't have to be elaborate, but they should provide some context and flavor.
1) Martin remembers growing up in a tavern as a young boy, helping his mother with the cooking. This started his own interest in the culinary arts.
2) Martin remembers the panic he felt when he discovered that the ship he signed on to was a pirate ship after a brutal attack on a merchantman. He vividly recalls the smell of blood and burning timbers.
3) Martin often recalls the goodbye kiss he gave Sasha when she left him. No kiss he's had since ever compares to that memory.
[design notes for the example character] Martin began life as an atypical barkeep. He was a retired adventurer, but still young and vigorous enough to accompany the party on their adventures. His tavern became the party's base for a while, until the BBEG of the game let off a necromantic bomb that killed most of the townsfolk and turned the town into a Zombie Apocalypse nightmare. Martin survived, and he turned into a secondary character for one of the players as he became more important to the ongoing storyline. Most of his background came from this transition from NPC to part-time PC. After the campaign reboot, Martin returned to his role as the barkeep of the party's favorite hang-out, but the players like him enough that he might return to adventuring status in the future.

Russ and Dean Downing's Out of the Saddle charity evening back for fourth year
Tickets for next month's charity fundraiser eveing in Rotherham on sale now
Previous News
Next News
Tickets are now on sale for the fourth Out of the Saddle evening hosted by brothers Russ and Dean Downing, which has established itself as one of the British cycling calendar's top charity fundraising events since its inaugural edition in 2009.
Taking place this year on Saturday 20th October 2012, the event will be held at The Carlton Park Hotel in the brothers' home town of Rotherham – also the birthplace of Team Sky's Ben Swift who was among the stars who turned out last year.
There will be a buffet, auction and disco as well as guest interviews conducted by David Harmon, Eurosport cycling commentator, and during last week's Tour of Britain, where Russ helped Endura Racing team mate Jonathan Tiernan-Locke secure the overall win, the brothers were busy drumming up promises of attendance from a number of riders.
Dean, meanwhile, besides competing with Rapha-Condor-Sharp, has also been working with the Out of the Saddle Youth Cycling Club, and this year's event will support two teenage brothers who recently rode from Land's End to John O'Groats to raise money for charity in memory of their uncle who died last year due to cancer.
Details of how to buy tickets, which cost £30 each, can be found on the Out of the Saddle website.

Beloit, WI -- It was a big day in numerous ways for the Beloit College Men's Soccer team on Saturday at the Strong Complex Soccer Field, not the least of which was a 2-1 win over Grinnell College.
Head coach Tim Schmiechen earned his 200th career win and at the same time became the Midwest Conference's winningest Men's Soccer coach for conference wins with his 126th. He became the Conference's all-time wins leader in overall victories earlier this season. In both cases he passed former Grinnell College head coach John Pfitsch.
Jackson Wilkins also hit a milestone with his game-winning goal, becoming Beloit's all-time points leader with 96, passing Michael Findley, who had 95 points from 2003-06.
After a scoreless first half, Marc Robinson put the Bucs up seven minutes into the second half off an assist from Ryan Munger. The Pioneers evened things at 1-all 14 minutes later, setting the stage for Wilkins. With less than four minutes left Wilkins hit the back of the net on an assist from Robinson to not only secure the record but to give the Buccaneers an important MWC win.
BJ Kiser made five saves in net for the win.
The Buccaneers have a week off before hosting Monmouth College in their final home match of the season next Saturday for Senior Day. Kickoff is at 1:00 p.m.

Troubleshooting Home Networking:
This article explains how to troubleshoot problems you may experience with Microsoft Windows XP Home Networking. Learn how to perform the following troubleshooting tasks:
? How to use the Home and Small Office Networking Troubleshooter.
? How to determine your network structure (topology).
? How to troubleshoot either basic connectivity or file and printer sharing issues.
This article describes how to troubleshoot a Microsoft Windows XP-based home network. To troubleshoot a home network issue, first use the Windows XP Home and Small Office Networking Troubleshooter in Help and Support Center. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Help and Support.
2. Under Pick a Help Topic, click Networking and the Web.
3. Under Networking and the Web, click Fixing networking or Web problems, and then click Home and Small Office Networking Troubleshooter.
Answer the questions in the troubleshooter, because the questions can guide you to a solution. If the troubleshooter does not resolve the issue, follow the troubleshooting steps that this article describes.
More Info:
Determining how the network is structured
Before you troubleshoot home networking issues, first determine the topology of the network. The network's topology is how the network is structured. There are several common home network topologies:
? The computers are connected to a hub, and there is no Internet connection. In this configuration, the computers are generally assigned IP addresses in the range of 169.254.x.y, where x and y are numbers between 1 and 254.
? The computers are connected to a hub. One computer has a connection to the Internet. That connection is shared by using Internet Connection Sharing. This connection can be a dial-up connection or a broadband connection (typically xDSL or a cable modem). In this configuration, the computer that shares the connection generally assigns IP addresses to other computers on the home network. The computer that is sharing the connection will have IP address 192.168.0.1 configured for the adapter that is connected to the home network. Other computers on the network will have addresses in the range 192.168.0.x, where x is a number between 2 and 254.
? The computers are connected to a hardware network address translation (NAT) device that provides a connection to the Internet. In this configuration, the computers generally receive an IP address from the NAT device. Typically, the NAT device uses the address 192.168.0.1 and assigns addresses to other computers in the range 192.168.0.x, where x is a number between 2 and 254.
? The computers are connected to a hub, and the hub is connected to the Internet through a broadband connection. This configuration is also known as an edgeless network. In this configuration, the computers on the home network each have an IP address that is provided by the Internet service provider (ISP). The addresses that are used vary depending on the ISP.
? The computers are connected to a hub, and each computer has a separate dial-up connection or broadband connection to the Internet. In this configuration, the computers generally use automatically assigned IP addresses for their home network adapters. Typically, the network adapters assign IP addresses in the range of 169.254.x.y. The computers use ISP-provided addresses for their Internet connections.
To troubleshoot these configurations, you use two main steps:
? Troubleshoot basic connectivity
? Troubleshoot file and printer sharing
Troubleshooting basic connectivity
1. Verify the physical connection between computers. The back of each network adapter in a desktop computer has visible lights. These lights indicate a good connection. If you are using a hub or a switch to connect the computers, make sure that the hub or the switch is turned on and that the lights are on for each client connection. This indicates a good link.
2. Make sure that all computers have TCP/IP installed. This is particularly important with Microsoft Windows 95-based computers. By default, Windows 95-based computers do not have TCP/IP installed. If you are using computers that run Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition on the network, you can look for TCP/IP by using the Network tool in Control Panel. If TCP/IP is not installed, you must install it to communicate with Microsoft Windows XP-based computers on your network. TCP/IP is always installed in Windows XP.
3. Gather network configuration information from at least two computers on the network by using the adapter status. The information must include the IP addresses. To do this, follow these steps: a. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.
b. Locate and right-click the icon that represents this computer's connection to the home network, and then click Status.
c. Click the Support tab, and then note the IP address.
If the assigned IP addresses do not match the topology that this article described in the "Determining how the network is structured" section, the computer that is assigning the addresses may not be available. This is likely to be true if 169.254.x.y addresses are in a configuration where you expect a different address range.
Note The addresses on the home network adapter for each computer must be in the same range. If one computer receives an address in the range 192.168.0.x, and another receives an address in the range 169.254.x.y, determine which address is correct based on the network topology. Troubleshoot the computer that has the incorrect address.
Note For Windows 95-based computers in a network that uses 169.254.x.y addressing, you must configure IP addresses manually. For information about how to do this, see the online Help in Windows 95.
4. Verify that the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) or Windows Firewall (WF) feature is not enabled on the adapters that you use to connect the computers to the home network. If these features are enabled on these adapters, you cannot connect to shared resources on other computers in the network.
Edgeless networks are a special case. Use ICF with edgeless networks. However, you must take additional measures to enable connectivity in the home network.
5. Use the ping command to test connectivity between two computers on the network. To do this, follow these steps: a. On one of the computers, click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
b. At the command prompt, type ping x.x.x.x (where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the other computer), and then press ENTER. You receive several replies from the other computer. For example, you may receive the following reply:Reply from x.x.x.x: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
If you do not receive these replies, or if you receive a "Request timed out" message, there may be an issue on the local computer. Follow the next step to test the local computer. If the ping command is successful, the computers can connect correctly, and you can skip the next step.
c. Test the local computer. To do this, type ping x.x.x.x (where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the local computer), and then press ENTER. If you receive replies, the network adapter is installed correctly, and the TCP/IP protocol stack is likely to be working correctly. If not, troubleshoot the network adapter. It may not be installed correctly, or the TCP/IP protocol stack may be damaged.
How to reset Internet protocol (TCP/IP) in Windows XP
d. After you can ping the other computer by using its IP address, ping the computer by using its computer name. To determine a computer's name, right-click My Computer on the desktop, click Properties, and then click the Computer Name tab. To ping a computer by name, type ping computername (where computername is the name of the remote computer), and then press ENTER. If you receive successful replies, you have connectivity and name resolution between the computers.
After you have verified connectivity and name resolution between computers, you can troubleshoot the connectivity for file and printer sharing.
Troubleshooting file and printer sharing
Through a home network, you can share files and printers between computers. To test the file-sharing and printer-sharing functionality, follow these steps:
1. Run the Network Setup Wizard on each computer in the network to configure file and printer sharing.
2. Make sure that file sharing is configured correctly on the computer.
Note All network access to either a Windows XP Home Edition-based computer in a workgroup or to a Windows XP Professional-based computer in a workgroup uses the Guest account. Before you continue troubleshooting, make sure that the Guest account is set up for network access. To do this, follow these steps: a. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
b. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
net user guest
c. If the account is active, a line appears in the output of the command that is similar to the following:Account active Yes
d. If the account is not active, use the following command to give the Guest account network access:
net user guest /active:yes
e. The following text returns after the command:The command completed successfully.
If you receive any other response, make sure that you are logged on as an Administrator, and then confirm that you typed the command correctly before you try again.
3. After you have verified the configuration, locate the computer name for each computer, and then make sure that a folder is shared. To do this, follow these steps: a. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
b. On the Computer Name tab, note the computer name on the "Full computer name" line.
c. To determine if a folder is shared, click Start, click Run, type fsmgmt.msc, and then click OK.
d. In the left pane, click Shares.
A list of shared folders appear in the right pane. Make a note of one share name for each computer.
4. Test a connection from one computer to another. Click Start, click Run, type \\computername (where computername is the name of another computer on the network), and then press ENTER. A window opens that contains an icon for each shared folder on the other computer. Open one of the shares to confirm that the connection is working. If you cannot open a shared folder, test in the opposite direction between the computers or between other computers to make sure that the problem is not with a particular computer on the network.
5. If you still cannot connect to the other computer, test again, but replace the computername with the name of the local computer. This tests the connection locally. A window appears that displays an icon for each shared folder on the computer. Try to open one of the shares to make sure that you have access.
6. If you do not receive any error messages, or you do not find related information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, look in the Network Setup Wizard log file for errors in any steps that are not followed by successful operations. To open the log, click Start, click Run, type %SystemRoot%\nsw.log, and then press ENTER. If you find errors in the log, search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for additional information about how to manually configure the computer to have correct settings.
7. If the Nsw.log file does not give you any information about the problem, look in the system log for errors, and investigate those errors.

The 31-year-old artist continues to tattoo exclusively at Shamrock Social Club, in addition to working on select collaborations and being featured in Motorola commercials. Downtime is spent with his wife Jayme and 3-year-old son, Lyon McQueen Woo. We stopped by Woo's home on the Westside of Los Angeles before hitching a ride with him to Shamrock Social Club to learn more about his unique approach to the art form.
When did you get your first tattoo?
I was doing little stick and pokes in sixth grade, but I think I got my first tattoo at a shop was when I was 15. A Chinese dragon on my ankle. (laughs)
What drew you to become a tattoo artist?
I always loved getting tattooed but never really imagined myself as a tattooer. I was more involved with design and creative direction [for special projects and brands], but when the opportunity to learn from the legend Mark Mahoney became a reality, I never looked back.
Where did you get your start?
At the world-famous Shamrock Social Club in Hollywood, California.
How long have you been tattooing?
I've been at Shamrock for about 7 years now. The first 2 years apprenticing and the last 5 as a tattooer.
How do you manage to create such compelling pieces using a greyscale color palette and minimal designs?
Definitely by not overthinking it. I just tell myself, "don't fuck this up."
How would you describe your style?
Fine-line black and grey.
Is there a reason you generally shy away from using color in your work?
I actually don't mind doing color, it's just not a request I get very often.
What's the most elaborate piece you've ever done?
A sleeve of an exact score in music notes.
The simplest?
A dot.
When did you realize you had developed your own style?
I guess when people started asking for tattoos described with: "you know, like how you do it."
Could you walk us through the process of working on an original piece with a client?
I work best on the spot after you make an appointment – you show up, tell me what you want, I draw it up and hope I don't fuck it up.
What or who inspires your creativity?
I think my clients are the ones that spark the ideas in which I'm grateful to manipulate. As for aesthetic and execution, I'm inspired and influenced by Mark and the entire Shamrock crew who kill it daily.

In doubles action SIU's Korey Love and Anita Lee knocked off the CU duo of junior Analese Snyder and sophomore Liz Vermillion 8-1 at No. 3 doubles. On court one the Saluki tandem of Melanie Delsart and Anastacia Simons claimed the doubles point with an 8-3 win over Creighton's Jennie Hartjes and Amanda Noonan.
The No. 2 doubles match between the CU pairing of freshman Sam Anderson and senior Anna Kirshenbaum and SIU's Natasha Tomishima and Jennifer Dien was halted at a 5-5 tie.
Up 1-0, Southern Illinois extended its lead after Tomishima defeated Snyder 6-0, 6-1 on court two. Delsart doubled up Hartjes 6-4, 6-4 at the top spot to put the Salukis up 3-0.
Kirshenbaum put Creighton on the board after a three-set victory in her final match as a Bluejay. The CU senior dropped the first set in extra games to SIU's Anita Lee at 7-5. Kirshenbaum rebounded in the second stanza to claim a 6-1 victory and force a deciding set. Kirshenbaum claimed the final set in the same fashion as the first with a 7-5 decision to cut the Saluki lead to 3-1.
On court four, Ariadna Cairo Baza of Southern Illinois claimed the team match point. Baza edged CU's Noonan 7-5 in set one before closing out the match 6-0 in the second.
The match was called before Vermillion and freshman Taylor Koehrsen could complete the first set of their matches on the final two singles courts.
The result marks the final MVC match for the Bluejays.

Barclaycard's announcement of the forthcoming launch of its Freedom loyalty scheme is a reflection of the increasing use of such initiatives by UK retailers. Loyalty programs can act as important footfall drivers and the data derived from them can allow for important consumer insight. However, it is important that their use is made attractive to consumers and retailers alike.
European retail giant Metro Group has launched its multi-brand Payback loyalty card in Poland. The card will be accepted at Metro's hypermarket chain Real and BP service stations, as well as by other companies. The move is expected to be a success: the loyalty card is attractive to consumers and provides companies with additional insight not available from a single-brand loyalty scheme.
John Lewis may have been the leading name in the roll call of winners at last week's Verdict Customer Satisfaction Awards, but the Verdict poll of 5,900 consumers also revealed the winning retailers within individual sectors. Verdict's analysts give their insight into why these retailers stood out to their customers.
Competitive pressures are mounting in Tesco's domestic market and with growth in the UK set to become far more subdued, aggressively pursuing growth in its Asian operations is a sensible strategy for the grocer. However, Tesco must ensure that the emerging avenues of growth in the UK are exploited to the same extent as those provided by the exciting opportunities in its key growth region.
The newly christened Tesco Bank has parked its tanks on the banking world's lawn, declaring plans to offer both current accounts and mortgages to its customers, although not until the second half of 2010 at the earliest. By opting to wait up to a year or more, Tesco Bank could be missing a unique opportunity to capitalize on current consumer anger with the established banks.
Asda delivered an impressive 12th successive quarter of market out-performance in Q1 2009, with like-for-like sales increasing by 8.4%. While Asda's strong price proposition is attractive to the current frugal consumer, therefore boosting growth, the retailer must continue to improve its quality perception to ensure that this performance is maintained in the long term.
Tesco is comfortably riding out the challenging trading conditions facing UK retailing, recording pre-tax profits of GBP2.95 billion for the 52 weeks to February 28. Although exposure to non-food and the impact of its Discounter brand have dented sales growth, the supermarket's international credentials and ability to diversify into new markets will see it continue to prove a formidable retailer.
Morrison has announced the details of its long-awaited strategic review. With Safeway fully integrated and its optimization underway, Morrison can now focus on rebuilding its profitability further and delivering a platform for sustainable sales growth. The retailer's new strategy is sound, but catching up ground lost to rivals remains the short term challenge.

Sparx is developing a revolutionary new technology for the classroom that is redefining the limits of what young people can achieve. Our platform for Maths uses custom built content and a powerful, data-driven mobile framework to deliver a tailored set of exercises, games and incentives to the student.
About us
At Sparx we're working on the first scientific study of – and solution to – how technology can be created and adapted to optimise learning. We're an exciting start-up that is building an extensible, data-driven, mobile framework to power a revolution in the classroom. One that will raise educational attainment and redefine people's futures.The Sparx system is tablet-based software for students and teachers. It builds an understanding of the exact nature of an individual's knowledge and the unique way in which they learn, delivering a personalised educational experience as a result. We're using the power of big data, technology and educational insight on a daily basis to make this experience the best it can be.
Why are we exciting?
Things move really fast here which definitely keeps you on your toes. We're continually exploring new methods and ideas, so what Sparx is evolves on a daily basis! We work on a 'fail fast' approach, rapidly prototyping, testing and tackling new challenges every day.
Life at Sparx
We love life at Sparx. Yes, we all take what we do very seriously, but we believe you can, and should, have fun taking things seriously.
We've got a great set up in the office itself, with a pool table, table tennis table, free café and essentially a full-on sports centre. So whether you fancy some Pilates in the morning, a run at lunch or just some time out, it's all right there (for free!).
On top of that, we're only a stone's throw from Dartmoor and the beach. As you'd expect with such beautiful countryside and scenery in reach, regular team picnics are quite a thing (our friends at the Met Office sort out the weather, don't worry). There's also plenty of space and inspiration to do the things you love.
The team are a great bunch too. There's plenty going on, whether that's a simple trip down the pub or entering (and winning!) local competitions.
Of course, it goes without saying that you get generous work perks as standard - great pay, substantial holiday leave and the chance to join our share scheme and company pension once you've completed your probationary period.
