Gallery grave
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
A Gallery grave is a form of megalithic tomb where there is no size difference between the burial chamber itself and the entrance passage. Two parallel walls of stone slabs were erected to form a corridor and covered with a line of capstones. The rectangular tomb was covered with a barrow or a cairn. Most were built during the fourth millennium BC, though some were still being built in the Bronze Age.
They are distributed across Europe and they are usually subdivided by period, region and also into more generic types of chambered long barrows, chambered round barrows, chambered long cairns and chambered round cairns. Examples are known in Catalonia, France, the Low Countries, Germany, The British Isles, Scandinavia, Sardinia and southern Italy.
Sub-types include:
- Court Cairns
- Giants' graves
- Navetas
- the Peak District tomb group
- Severn-Cotswold or Cotswold-Severn tombs
- Seine-Oise-Marne culture allées couvertes
- Transepted gallery graves
- Wedge-shaped gallery graves
- Hessisch-westfälische Steinkisten (Galleriegräber)

Breaking Bad: Gray Matter
(S01E05) This episode served as a bridge in our larger story to the next chapter of both Jesse and Walt's lives. In the previous installment, Walt withdrew from the sordid world of drug trafficking and focused on his family, revealing his cancer and looking at the varying options available to him. Meanwhile, his erstwhile partner Jesse had a bad drug reaction and sought refuge in the home of his parents, which didn't turn out as well as he had hoped. Here they both continued their efforts to move on with their lives, to varying degrees of failure.
The failure for both seems also to be a matter of some pride. For Jesse, it is the same pride that hinders so many young people trying to make a go of it in the professional, or so-called "real" world. Not willing to pay his dues at the bottom of the corporate ladder, a la his whacked out friend Badger, Jesse sought to get a real estate sales job with no prior professional experience. And when offered the costume wearing sign spinning job, he balked.
For Walt, it's a little more complicated. "Gray Matter" refers not only to the portion of the brain that can be irrevocably destroyed by crystal meth, but also to the name of the company that apparently Walt should have been a part of. When Skyler and Walt attend a birthday party for Elliott Schwartz, we learn that the two were science partners in college. In fact, it was the combination of their names (Schwartz is German for black) that created the Gray Matter name that became Gray Matter Technologies, Elliott's award-winning research company that he owns with his wife, the very familiar Gretchen. Gretchen is the girl from the flashback we saw to Walt in college breaking down the components of the body a couple of episodes ago.
Elliott lives in a palatial estate with his wife and receives personally signed gifts from the likes of Eric Clapton, while Walt struggles to make ends meet with a high school teacher's salary and a son with cerebral palsy; let's face it, medical bills aren't cheap in this country. And yet Elliott proudly introduces Walt as an integral part of Gray Matter as well as a "master of crystallography," indicating that there certainly doesn't seem to be any ill will from Elliott's perspective toward Walt. Even his subsequent job offer seemed sincere, despite the fact that Skyler had already spilled about Walt's cancer.
The question becomes: Why did Walt walk away from this enterprise to become a high school teacher? Was it because of Gretchen, as she seemed to feel toward the end? Did Walt pine for this girl in college only to lose her to Elliott, or was there more to it than that? I wonder, considering the difficulties they've faced, how Skyler feels about Walt's decision to not be a part of Gray Matter, or even how much she knows about it. Perhaps she came into Walt's life well after that chapter was closed. Certainly she seems to want him to do what's best for himself and struggles to see why he doesn't always seem to want to.
It was this concern that led to the intervention scene with Walt, Walt Jr. and Skyler, as well as Hank and Marie. While Skyler wanted to have this "family meeting" so that everyone could tell Walt what a terrible mistake it would be for him to deny chemotherapy, she was appalled when first Marie and then Hank supported the notion that Walt should be able to make his own decision. At that point, Walt took the pillow and revealed that he felt kind of like he'd never made a decision of his own in his entire life; this is a very interesting statement and the fact that Skyler let it stand with nary a retort is also very interesting and potentially telling. He wanted to take control of this one aspect of his life and rather than live out his last days weakened and sick from chemo, he wanted to really live.
In the end, though, after a touching scene with Walt in bed hugging Skyler's pillow, looking over her mix of cancer and baby books, and smelling her skin creme, he reneges on his original convictions and tells her he'll get the treatment. But, despite the fact that Elliott still has an offer on the table to pay for the treatment because, as Gretchen told Walt later, half of everything they own including their company name is rightfully Walt's, Walt insists that he can take care of the expenses himself. Pride? Or something more going on with his past?
Meanwhile, Jesse's impatience to earn money in the real world, probably that is made more difficult by the crappy pay that he'd be facing there compared to what he can make in the drug trade, leads him back in the meth business, this time with the paroled and imbecilic aforementioned Badger. Taking most of the credit for the pure and beautiful meth Walt had cooked, Jesse convinces Badger that the two of them can accomplish the same thing. But when the batches consistently come out cloudy and below Walt's established standard, Jesse rejects and pitches them. Ultimately, Badger can't take it anymore and the two of them fight tearing up equipment in the Winnebago, which leads to Jesse abandoning Badger in the desert.
As such, both of our wayward "heroes" have failed to accomplish their needs and desires on their own, and so we have Walt in the final scenes showing up back at Jesse's with a simple proposition: "Wanna cook?" The significance of this decision by Walt is profound. He had an offer on the table for a legitimate job in his preferred field of study, offering excellent insurance working with his college friend and partner. He also had a second offer to just flat out pay for his surgery from that same friend. But Walt would rather take the inherent risks of cooking meth and trying to become a drug producer/dealer than take any legitimate and real offers. The falling out between Walt and Elliott/Gretchen story has to be simply epic. Not so bad that Walt wouldn't go to his party, but enough that he'd make this decision rather than take what he perceives as "charity" from Elliott and Gretchen.
Light on the action but heavy on background and character depth, I thought this was an excellent bridge episode of a show that continues to impress me more and more. I still have no idea where it's going to go, but I suspect it will end the same way the series title does. And it's gonna be a helluva ride all the way down. The stage is set for the action and chaos to kick into gear next week.

|Yes, he probably has wanted Walt to work with him for years

text: Final Fantasy XIII-2 review Gaming 28 January 12 by Nate Lanxon Final Fantasy XIII-2Square Enix Battle system Final Fantasy XIII featured a new battle system called Paradigm Shift that allowed players to assign specific roles to characters, such Commando for physical attacks, Medic for healing and so forth. Characters could master multiple roles and each "Paradigm" was a pre-set arrangement of roles. It was an effective way of balancing speedy real-time battles with a variety of possible ways to win them. "[That] was quite popular so we took it as a base and topped it up," Kitase explained to me when I asked why that system was repeated for FF XIII-2. The "topping up" refers to the ability to capture over 150 possible monsters in the game and have them fight alongside you.Unlike older Final Fantasy games, there are no "Aeons" or "GF" creatures to summon in battle for single powerful attacks, but when questioned, Kitase said the ability to bring monsters into battle with you was "a replacement to that". Each recruitable monster has a different set of skills, and can each be developed and levelled up. "[It] contributes towards a higher degree of strategy needed" to win battles, Kitase explained, and he's not wrong. Fights in the game are fast and fun, although the higher level your characters are the less you'll need to strategise for most battles. An auto-battle function strips away any real need to do much more than let the computer decide the best attack for a given fight, and the skill required on the player's part is much more focussed on building and selecting the right Paradigm for each battle.Levelling up The "Crystarium" makes a return for Final Fantasy XIII-2, and as it did in the previous game it resembles the Sphere Grid from FF X strongly. Although visually a bit confusing at first, it makes character skill development quite easy, if a bit simplistic. You'll earn CP points by fighting battles and spend them on activating a sphere in the Crystarium; spheres all advance heath or magical ability, for example, but some also represent skills like stronger magics or new defence modes.Captured monsters are levelled up in the same way, and overall the system offers an accessible and unified way to develop roles and skills. More advanced gamers can customise the way characters fight when they're not being controlled by the player, but it's not often necessary to delve into such micro-management.Music Soundtrack work for FF XIII-2 is the joint product of Masashi Hamauzu, Naoshi Mizuta and Mitsuto Suzuki. Fans will recognise Hamauzu as composer for Final Fantasies X and XIII, and his modern, jazzy, highly synth-driven sonic signature is all over FF XIII-2. Production-wise the music is great, and there's a decent amount of variety overall, even if the classic each-town-has-its-own-distinctive-theme ideology has been abandoned.It must be said though that this has to be the weirdest, almost experimental, soundtrack of any FF game to date. For example, the number of tracks with strong female vocals wailing lyrics about "tiiime and spaaace" over the top is staggering. Classic FF composer Nobuo Uematsu would never have picked a fast, vocal-driven number for a part of a game where you're exploring a town on a beach (New Bodhum), and it's quite honestly another reason XIII-2 has a tone far removed from that of past games. Maybe that was the intention. I can't say the music made the game worse, but some of the choices made in this area are truly bizarre.Graphics and performance Graphically Final Fantasy XIII-2 is a rich and highly-polished product. Environments are wonderfully detailed and small touches, such as being able to control the weather in some areas, or the subtle animation of characters' eyebrows and frowns, are symbolic of a great attention to detail on Square Enix's part. Pre-rendered cutscenes are kept to a minimum, and most of such sequences are rendered in real-time by the console, helping keep a consistent graphical feel to the game.Overall it's difficult to criticise the game on a technical level, it ticks all the boxes of superb engineering. Final Fantasy games have always been at the forefront of the battle to push consoles to the limits of their hardware, and FF XIII-2 is no exception.Conclusion Readers who have absorbed everything up to this point should hopefully find my conclusion of this game unsurprising: it's a decent enough fantasy game with a fun central game mechanic, but it lacks so much depth that fans of the franchise will be hoping for that I can't help feeling it's another one that'll disappoint hardcore Final Fantasy lovers. Its lack of depth will make it an enjoyable play for many people, but a frustratingly shallow RPG for others.You'll get about 25-40 hours of gameplay (I got 33 hours over the last week or so) depending on how much of a completionist you are, and there's certainly a lot of optional hidden stuff, such as locations, people and time periods, to warrant the time and attention required by those willing to see all the things the game has to offer.But overall, while I'm not filing it as a bad game (it certainly has fun, touching moments throughout), I'm sadly coming around to the realisation that we just have to accept Final Fantasy today is aimed at a very different audience to what it once was. And that audience doesn't seem to include the long-time lovers like me.Score: 7/10 Back to start 12 Read on one page Comments I played the demo and this game was really amazing....... I tried to make it to the midnight premiere but the closest one was at least 50 miles away =( Tomtay Jan 31st 2012 even though this isnt a traditional final fantasy game, people have got to stop looking at this as though we are still playing in the times of final fantasy 7 or 8 or 10 (skip 9). those were seris defniing games and these are things that can be see as a historic games that made all rpg's what they are today but even in final fantasy 7 or 8 the information for the story was based on the time in which you visited certain places. there are things you can do along the way and things you dont realy have to do.what makes final fantasy XIII-2 not look as appealing to anyone who played those old time games was that it wasnt on looks it was on gameplay and story. too much nowadays is put into the look of a game and we lose art of the connection with the story. after a while you say ahh its beautiful but once you have sen it once there is no real want to go back and do it again. with final fantasy XII i have battled sephiorth nearly 1000 times since i played it when i was little. i have never lost the love for those epic game moments. with the newer final fantasies Nick Carnes Feb 7th 2012 Reply to a comment Name Email Comment Submit » Latest on wired.co.uk

A Means of Enhancing Kansas Digital Government
The 2000 Kansas Legislature ensured Kansas would retain its position as a leading state in providing efficient government through technology by signing the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
An essential element of this technological efficiency is the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). PKI provides the means for an electronic transaction environment that does not require paper to finalize transactions. Many organizations, both public and private, are interested in replacing paper-based systems with automated electronic systems. It is much cheaper to process an electronic transaction with digital documents and signatures than with their paper counterparts.
Two factors previously inhibited the use of electronic documents and transactions. One was the legal status of electronic documents. The other (related factor) was the concern for the risk of forgery or manipulation of information moving over unsecured networks. The Kansas law and similar federal legislation provide the legitimacy of both electronic documents and signatures. This legitimacy is accomplished by ensuring that information (document or data) in transit between two points is not intercepted or changed and that the information was, in fact, sent by the person or electronic agent identified as the sender.
PKI is an important element in providing the needed security, authentication and non-repudiation information used in electronic transactions. This brochure will cover the basics of PKI. Please see the Glossary on the back page for definitions of PKI related terms.

From the Lewiston Tribune
When Idaho's conservative governor and legislators needed political cover to justify unnecessarily deep cuts to public schools, higher education and health programs, they conjured up an unduly pessimistic economic forecast.
And when it's time to hand over an untidy sum of tax goodies to Idaho's richest corporations, the economic forecast becomes giddy with optimism.
That's no conspiracy theory. It's history.
Three years ago, Mike Ferguson, then wrapping up nearly three decades as the state's chief economist, predicted Idaho's still struggling economy would generate $2.43 billion by the time the budget cycle ended nearly 18 months later.
Some thought he overshot the mark. The Associated Taxpayers of Idaho pegged its estimate at $2.4 billion; the State Tax Commission came in at $2.41 billion. Others thought Ferguson was a bit low. Economists from Idaho's universities predicted the state would produce $2.6 billion.
Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter thought he knew more than his veteran economist and sliced $85 million from Ferguson's revenue forecast.
The Legislature's GOP leaders figured they understood the economy better than Ferguson and Otter: They lowered the revenue forecast another $60 million.
All of which translated into huge losses for public schools, colleges and universities and health programs. Whenever they were challenged to defend the cuts, Otter and lawmakers pointed to the revenue forecast. Their hands were tied. If the money materialized later, they promised to restore the cuts.
About a year later, taxes produced $2.44 billion -- about $11.5 million more than Ferguson anticipated. And the money that had been needlessly withheld from state budgets?
Some of it found its way into state rainy day accounts. Some of it went into tax cuts for Idaho's corporations and the state's most prosperous families. School spending remains below its pre-recession levels.
Fast-forward to last week's Economic Outlook and Revenue Assessment Committee.
Before it was a robust forecast issued by Ferguson's successor, Derek Santos. He predicted the state would receive $2.799 billion during the budget cycle that opens July 1 and closes June 30, 2014.
That's above the Associated Taxpayers of Idaho forecast of $2.74 billion.
The State Tax Commission also was more conservative at $2.72 billion.
Even the academic economists from the universities came in lower at $2.74 billion.
And Otter?
He stood by Santos' number.
How did the legislative forecasters react? Did they express alarm about a state expectation of tax revenues growing by more than 5 percent?
Yes -- at least individually. A poll of the revenue projection committee's members put their median prediction at $2.74 billion -- $60 million below Otter's.
Stick with that number, however, and a lot of things begin to disappear.
Such as Otter's plan to set $35 million aside in a rainy day account.
Or his expectation to leave almost $14 million unspent.
Most importantly, Otter could not allocate $20 million as a down payment on repealing $141 million worth of personal property taxes Idaho's businesses pay on equipment. Almost all of that would be divvied up by handful of rich corporations and utilities.
"I'm not willing to close the door (on property tax relief)," said House Speaker Scott Bedke, R-Oakley. "And if we tighten that number down too much, it will stymie those discussions."
Never mind that getting this number wrong could trigger shortfalls later on -- possibly leading to further cuts in a school budget that Otter would expand by only 1.6 percent next year.
Never mind that Otter and GOP lawmakers were all too willing to artificially low-ball revenue estimates when the only consequence was whacking away at education and health care.
Lowering the revenue forecast now would mean foregoing tax cuts for big business. That, they would not do.
The panel voted 14-4 to adopt Otter's higher number.
Go figure.

The New England Patriots could really use the services of a halfway decent veteran wide receiver, and there aren't many worth bringing in. Brandon Lloyd would be perfect, since he already knows the Pats offense. Only problem is that Lloyd is no longer pursuing an NFL career, as he has gone Hollywood.
Lloyd certainly isn't big timing it, at least not yet. He is starring with Daniel Baldwin (one of the fat ones not named Alec), in a straight-to-video release of a zombie movie. Blockbuster! The title of the movie is "After Effect."
What is Lloyd's role in the film? A cop named Sgt. Lloyd. It appears the former 10-year NFL wide receiver is heading down the same path as Tony Danza, where he can't even get a full name change for the character that he plays.
Here is the synopsis from IMDB.com:
When college students sign up for what seems a simple paid research study, they soon realize their lives are in danger. Unfortunately they've unknowingly volunteered their bodies as human collateral in an ongoing U.S. Military experiment.
Here is his AMAZING performance
Seriously, Bill, just name his price. Brady needs him.

John David Hayworth described the student body president as a lobbyist, catalyst, a student, and an ambassador. Hayworth fulfilled each of these roles during his term as president. While attending State on a football scholarship, Hayworth became involved in many campus organizations. He was WKNC's sports director and he contributed to the athletic section of the 1979 Agromeck.
Hayworth graduated Cum Laude in 1980 with Bachelor of Arts degrees in political science and speech communication.
Student Body President, 1979-1980
Class of 1980
Hayworth lobbied the administration for more student space in the Court of North Carolina. After meeting with Student Government officers, University officials moved the fence surrounding the Court thirty-five yards inward. Construction workers used the fence to protect the area surrounding the construction of the Tompkins-Winston Hall link. The move allowed students more area in the Court to lounge and enjoy the sun. Hayworth said from that point onward, administrators would contact Student Government during the planning and contracting stages of building.
Hayworth pushed for the Classroom Consumer Report, a new form of faculty evaluations. The Report consisted of fifteen questions about instructors, lectures, and homework.
In 2010, J. D. Hayworth staged an unsuccessful Republican primary campaign to unseat John McCain as U.S. Senator from Arizona. Hayworth's previous achievements include serving as a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 2007 where Hayworth represented Arizona's fifth district. Hayworth ran an unsuccessful campaign for reelection to the House in 2006.
Hayworth and his wife, Mary, have three children.

Simon's primary research interests currently fall within two main areas:
1) Metaethics and practical reason: He is working on a range of topics concerning (a) various meta-normative views about reasons for action (their conceptual structure; their relation to other normative concepts; an irrealist account of their ontology), and (b) the truth-conditions for practical normative claims (defending a hybrid motive-value account). His work on these issues reflects a long-standing interest in the objectivity and justification of moral/ethical claims, and connects to a number of issues in moral psychology, the philosophy of action and normative ethics.
2) Nietzsche: He is currently writing a monograph (under contract with OUP) assessing Nietzsche's significance for contemporary theoretical ethics.
He is also beginning to think seriously about anti-theory in normative ethics. He has also published on the philosophy of normativity and philosophy of risk (the latter reflecting a particular interest in the role and value of risk in mountaineering/climbing).
Basically, though, he's interested in just about any area of philosophy upon which normativity bears.
Simon moved to Cardiff in 2012.
He is the Book Reviews Editor at the Journal of Nietzsche Studies.
Beyond philosophy, Simon's main passions lie in various mountainous pursuits.

Have you ever tried opening a door or drawer that doesn't have a handle? It's a real pain in the keister, and the last thing you want in your home or commercial kitchen is an unwanted pain in anything. That's why making sure your refrigeration door and drawer handles are in good shape and working properly is such a good idea. Unexpectedly pulling off a handle is a quick way to increase your prep time and frustrate your staff, which is why it never hurts to have extra handles on hand for replacement purposes. They're inexpensive and extremely invaluable, too!

BARTON – In what is becoming an alarming trend statewide, a Greensboro, N.C. man died after a car crash early yesterday morning but his passenger, who was wearing a seat belt, escaped with minor injuries.
State police say Quinn Finnegan, 23, lost control of his 1998 Mercedes Benz on Route 16 in Barton at around 1:10 AM. The vehicle left the south side of the road, traveled back across both lanes, went off the north side of the road and down a small embankment, struck several trees and overturned. The vehicle sustained damage to the front end and roof.
LYNDONVILLE – Two New York women and a Vermont country inn have settled a lawsuit that accused the business of refusing to host the couple's wedding reception.
Both sides are claiming a victory.
The American Civil Liberties Union says The Wildflower Inn in Lyndonville agreed to pay a $10,000 civil penalty to the Vermont Human Rights Commission and place $20,000 in a charitable trust.
Kate and Ming Linsley contacted the ACLU after Ming's mother was told last year by the Wildflower Inn's events manager that the inn didn't host "gay receptions" due to the innkeepers' "personal feelings."

Over the past few weeks the various media have inundated us with housing projections, prophecies and prognostications. The housing market is going up -- or going down! (compared to what?) What do those headlines even mean? Are housing starts up? Are housing prices up? Are the number of homes sold up? Or are more and more people building and living in concrete high rises?
On Sept 20th the Huffington Post produced an article, citing my research, about one of the most important sectors of the Canadian economy, that being the resale housing sector. The article reported on "claimed" errors currently taking place with national resale housing data. I'd like to correct these errors.
The Canadian Real Estate Association has concerns with the Huffington Post article about "phantom listings" on MLS Systems of Real estate Boards and Associations, specifically, allegations made by a third party that duplicate listings inflate monthly sales figures and average prices, as well as the figures presented as evidence of this.

New plans for Tesco supermarket at former Bath Press site pulled from this week's meeting
Posted: December 06, 2012|
A new plan for a Tesco store at the former Bath Press site has been withdrawn from the agenda of this week's meeting.
The scheme was due to be discussed by members of Bath and North East Somerset Council's development control committee meeting on Wednesday afternoon.
However, due to new information received by the council, it has now been deferred to a future date.
A B&NES spokesman said: "The council has deferred consideration of the application at this Wednesday's DCC meeting as we received some additional information on Friday afternoon and there is insufficient time for officers to assess this and make any necessary change to our recommendation before the 12th December meeting.
"The application will be reported to a future meeting."
The details of the new information has not been revealed by the council, but a spokeswoman for Tesco has said it is not from them.
She said: "This latest frustrating delay has not been created by Tesco.
"We are offering investment now that will deliver more than 500 jobs and kick-start the regeneration of the river corridor. A decision is needed to determine if Bath will seize this £80 million opportunity and help drive the city's future growth."
Tesco has long been trying to establish a strong presence in the city, and this is the third application that has been submitted to regenerate the derelict building in Lower Bristol Road.
However, officers had recommended that the scheme should be refused and once again raised concerns about the impact on small businesses in nearby Moorland Road and issues surrounding traffic and road safety.
There is also the ongoing problem of the safety of the gas works, which are due to be decommissioned with a loan from the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership.
In the past Tesco have used their willingness to pay for this work as a reason why they should have the scheme approved, but now it seems Bath and North East Somerset Council no longer needs their money.
Speaking before the decision to defer the application was made, a spokeswoman for Tesco urged the councillors to see why the scheme would be a positive thing for the city.
She said: "Our proposal represents an £80 million investment in Bath. It will regenerate one of the most important brownfield sites in the river corridor, create over 500 jobs and deliver new office space to drive growth in the creative sector.
"Decommissioning the Windsor Bridge gas holder is an equally important issue for the city. Our £5 million investment will ensure this happens, without cost to public finances, and unlock the development of more than 2,000 new homes.
"We hope these wide-ranging regeneration benefits are considered as councillors debate what is best for Bath."
The proposed development would include a single storey supermarket with a 395-space car park below it, creative work space, offices, a two-storey community hall, a museum and ten new houses.
Two very similar schemes involving Tesco have previously been submitted but were withdrawn before the council made a decision on whether they would be approved.
This latest application comes just weeks before Sainsbury's is due to apply for planning permission for a £160 million regeneration of its Green Park site.

A while ago Sega announced a game that would capture the look and feel of the classic 16-bit Sonic games on the Sega Genesis. This game would remind us of some of our favorite gaming memories of our childhoods while creating new ones just as fun as the old. And they made a game like this. Sega put out a wonderful game that was nostalgic, but still a great game on its own merits. This game was Sonic Generations. But before that, they released this thing called Sonic the Hedgehog 4.

Whether you asked for it or not, Sonic 4: Episode 2 is coming. Though I'm not entirely sure why.
When Sonic 4: Episode 1 was on the way, fans could not have been more excited. Sega was finally returning to Sonic's roots and giving us what we've been asking for since before polygons were common. Then the game came out and everyone was exactly as disappointed as they were excited. The levels were rote, the controls were loose and the physics. Oh God, the physics. READ MORE

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Overview Eliminate Down is a Sega Mega Drive game developed by now defunct developer Aprinet. It was released in 1993 and solely in Japan. The game uses standard horizontal shooter mechanics but differentiates itself by offering a different level of intensity and difficult gameplay. The player must brave eight rounds of space, insect, and mechanical worlds before defeating the final enemy, each world more difficult than the last. The player is also offered three modes: easy, normal, and hard to play, as well as a scoring system for replayability. Gameplay Only two power ups are available to the ship: 'E' or energy shield and 'P' or power. The energy shield absorbs a certain amount of hits before it is destroyed, leaving the ship vulnerable to a single attack before it explodes. 'P' power ups allow the player to level their weapons. A level is gained for every 5 'P' power ups gained. There is a maximum of 3 levels that can be obtained. If the player's ship explodes, the ship will respawn with one less level than before the explosion. A ship can be sped up or slowed down by pressing Start and then pressing left or right to increase or decrease ship speed. This can be very helpful in a tight squeeze. The ship may also take on a variety of shooting styles that will be described further in the next section. Shooting Styles The player can choose different styles of shooting on the fly using buttons A or C (by default). These buttons can be changed in the options menu. The styles are as follows: Forward The ship fires a barrage of fire in one direction forward. This leads to maximum damage to obstacles or enemies in front of the ship, but leaves the back vulnerable to attack. An example of the backwards shooting style Backward The ship fires a single stream of bullets forward and sends most of its firepower backwards. As power levels increase, these shots are able to richochet off walls or obstacles. Vertical The ship fires a single stream of bullets forward while firing missles or bomblike objects up and down, effectively preventing any enemies or projectiles from striking from above or below. As levels increase, the projectiles fired by the ship are able to move along walls until an enemy or obstacle can be hit. Rounds Round 1: An outer space battle begins. The ship must overcome a line of missile launchers and defeat the first boss. Round 2: An alien battleship must be defeated. Round 3: The ship scales a giant vertical structure and must defeat the structure's mainframe at the top. Round 4: The ship has entered an alien world. A mechanical robot boss must be defeated. Round 5: An electrical world that houses many strange electrical enemies including a long-armed electrostatic mini-boss and a mechanical boss. Round 6: The ship must battle a gigantic eye monster. Round 7: The ship must battle a giant green brained monster with dangerous claws. Round 8: The final battle over a planet that closely resembles Earth. The final boss takes on two forms and must be fought twice.

Personality factors and their relationship to adjustment in a camping situation.
Janus, S.
Unpublished doctoral dissertation, New York University, 1967.
Determine the relationship between personality factors and adjustment to a resident camping situation.
Subjects: 94 female college students ages 18-20 enrolled in a college outdoor education curriculum at New Jersey State College.
Camp Affiliation: New Jersey State School of Conservation Camp at Stokes Forest.
Camp Program: activity-oriented one-week resident camp program. Activities were geared toward outdoor living skills, nature and environmental studies and conservation
- Edwards Personal Preference Scale - measured preferences for order, autonomy, and succorance.
- Barron's Ego Strength Scale
- Budner Tolerance of Ambiguity Scale
- Elias Family Opinion Survey
- Camp Adjustment Rating Scale and Personal Rating of Camp Scale - developed by the researcher and evaluated by a panel of experts.
Pre-test on Edwards, Barron's, Budner, and Elias instruments/ in-camp test after four days on the Camp Adjustment Rating Scale and Personal Rating of Camp Scale
Data Analysis:
- Pearson Product Moment Correlation
- Eta correlation coefficients and F test of linearity
- Researcher concluded that generalized ego strength, flexibility, and openness to new experiences were the primary factors affecting camp adjustment.
- Significant positive correlation between ego strength and self-rating of adjustment to camp.
- Significant negative correlation between degree of "homeyness" measure and self-rating of adjustment to camp, indicating that subjects who did not have great dependency on their families were more likely to adjust well to new situations.
- Significant negative correlation between the students' self-rating of autonomy and adjustment to camp. The researcher concluded that tendency to avoid situations in which one is expected to conform does not lead to positive adjustment to camp. He further concluded that camp may be perceived as impinging on the autonomous individual's independence and personal freedom.
- No significant relationship between subject's self-rating of tolerance of ambiguity and adjustment to camp.
- No significant relationship between subject's self-rating of succorance and adjustment to camp.
- The researcher concluded that peer-ratings and self-ratings measured different dimensions of adjustment (internal and external).

James, P S B R and Badrudeen, M and Joseph, V Edwin (1992) Annotated Bibliography of the Silverbellies (Pisces: Family Leiognathidae). CMFRI Special Publication , 50 . pp. 1-219.
Fishes of the family Leiognathidae, popularly called silverbellies, ponyfishes, slipmouths and toothponies are small to medium sized fishes living at the bottom in shallow coastal waters. They are widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific region. These fishes are captured in several types of fishing gear including bottom trawls, shore seines, gillnets, bagnets etc. Some species occur in dense schools offering great potentialities for commercial exploitation, especially along the coasts of India and Sri Lanka. A few species enter brackishwaters and estuaries. Being small and scanty of flesh, they are consumed very little in fresh condition but mostly sun dried or salt cured. As such they are an important source of food and fish meal.

As Grand Haven Area Public Schools Superintendent Keith Konarska said some his district's building scores declined, which they expected because of the changed grading scale by the Michigan State Board of Education.
"Although a little difficult to accept, over time, it help promotes greater success," Konarska said. "I'm confident our staff and students will meet the increase going forward. I expect continued steadied improvement."
Although some Grand Haven schools saw lower grades, all buildings made the Adequate Yearly Progress status.
Peach Plains and Rosy Mound elementary schools each received A's. Griffin, Lake Hills, Mary A. White and Robinson elementary schools each received a B.
Ferry Elementary School, Lakeshore Middle School, White Pines Middle School and Grand Haven High School earned C's.
The state recognized three types of schools: Reward Schools, Focus Schools and Priority Schools. Reward schools were selected in three ways: they rank in the top 5 percent on the Top-to-Bottom list, ranking in the top 5 percent of schools making the greatest achievements, or making the Beating the Odds list, Konarska explained.
Lake Hills, Peach Plains and Rosy Mound were selected as Reward Schools.
"We were very, very pleased," Konarska said. "Those schools are working hard."
Lakeshore Middle School was listed as a Focus School, meaning they showed the largest achievement gaps between the top 30 percent of students and the bottom percent of students, Konarska said.
"It doesn't mean students aren't doing well, but it means there's a gap," he explained. "We're working on strategies this year to educe that gap."
The Spring Lake district also had three schools recognized as Reward Schools: Holmes Elementary School, Jeffers Elementary School and Spring Lake Intermediate School. Those schools also received A's.
Spring Lake High School received a B, while Spring Lake Middle School received a C. All Spring Lake Public Schools made the Adequate Yearly Progress Status.
Calls and messages to Spring Lake Public Schools Superintendent Dennis Furton were not immediately returned.
When Wendy Somers read Fruitport Community Schools' scores, she said she guessed she was having the same thoughts as other districts throughout the state. Somers — principal of Fruitport Middle School, and the formerly the district's director of curriculum and instruction — said the district leaders we're surprised by the poor grades.

Well, now they have done it. On Tuesday a bipartisan total of 61 Senators voted for and only 37 voted against provisions in latest Defense Authorization Act that would authorize the President of the United States to arrest and detain indefinitely, without charges or trial, people suspected of being enemies, or linked to enemies of the United States.
Most Democrats voted against the provisions but only two Republicans voted nay — despite the fact that it is the Republicans more than the Democrats who talk about the importance of abiding by the Constitution. The two Republican Senators who have both read and respected the Constitution of the United States and therefore voted against the travesty were Mark Kirk of Illinois and Rand Paul of Kentucky.
The vote is such a blatant thumbing of senatorial noses at the Constitution of the United States that it might even be called revolutionary — or counterrevolutionary, meaning that it is an attempt to at least partially overthrow the revolution against the tyranny of the British crown beginning with the Declaration of Independence in 1776. When former Senator Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) was criticized by some of his Senate colleagues for following a line of reasoning that is "pre-911," the Senator, who cast the lone Senate vote against the controversial Patriot Act, replied that his critics were exhibiting a manner of reasoning that might be called "pre-1776."

These pages are devoted to representing significant ideas, people and events in the history of information. Information timelines can be constructed in different, historically interesting ways. For example, one approach to building an information timeline could detail significant events in the history of networking and communications. Another could focus on the sciences, people and ideas that produced the machinery for communications, computing and information processing. Another approach might trace the significant events in the individual, social and industrial forces driving adoption of information technologies and their uses and effects. Each approach, and there are countless others possible, adds to our understanding of what has persisted in this historical evolution and what value has been produced.
We will continue to add to this information history timeline, furthering our visual (animated) timeline, and developing a text version with greater detail. We will also add a catalog of links, ranging from technology museums online (history of communications and computers), to historical sites focused on the development of language, dictionaries and communications, and many others.

PAWTUCKET — Division II-East champions. A division-leading 13 runs per game. One of three teams to lead the league with 14 regular-season victories.
A stunning first-round exit in the Division II playoffs.
These are the four things this season's Tolman High team will be remembered for doing. And while the first three are incredible accomplishments, the fourth was a cruel, disappointing way to end a sensational spring — one that had the promise of playing for a state title next week at Rhode Island College.
For two days in the hot sun, Cumberland High collectively played its best golf of the season at the RIIL State Championship.
Its efforts were amply rewarded.
Jamison Randall earned the individual title and, along with his teammates, the Clippers captured the team crown on Wednesday afternoon with a four-stroke victory over Portsmouth and North Kingstown at the Cranston Country Club.
PAWTUCKET — Both Kandice Ko and Melitzi Torres had hardworking parents who knew that getting a good education was the key to improving their daughters' futures. Now, both young women are making those parents very proud.
On June 13, Ko will represent Shea High School's 2011 graduating class as valedictorian, and Torres will serve as salutatorian.
PAWTUCKET — While music and theater were the respective passions of graduating seniors Noelle Cabana and Daphne Homen, these artistic pursuits also helped them to carve out ambitious career paths as they head off to college in the fall.
When the Jacqueline M. Walsh School for the Performing and Visual Arts holds its commencement exercises on June 14, Cabana will be serving as valedictorian and Homen as salutatorian.

Green flowers have always fascinated gardeners and flower arrangers. With the tendency for tulips to produce bizarre colour breaks, green varieties were inevitable, and there is now a comprehensive selection of strong-stemmed single varieties in various colours and elegant shapes, but all with green bands, edges, flares and other markings. They all flower in May. 'Spring Green' is a supreme arranger's variety with a fresh green ground colour, and a broad white edge at their tips, the petals shade to ivory and soft yellow. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

Policy formation postulates typical recipients of proposed actions. Through Emilia, we form concepts, not policies. With the character, Emilia, we create a non-factual, intellectual construct: someone capable of fully absorbing the educative possibilities of the world she inhabits. We want to see how she does it. We intend thereby to disclose educational potentials by thinking out the reactions by Emilia, Jacqueline, Sophie, John, and others. They will try to criticize what lacks pedagogical significance and to comprehend why other things have pedagogic value. We perceive through them, not what is practical, but what is possible.
We believe that the common obsession with what works and does not work under real conditions of practice in schooling is not wrong, but incomplete, inadequate. Each student and each teacher deserves to strive for the improbable, the unexpected, the astonishing achievement. To do that, each student and each teacher needs to attend to how educational possibilities at their best unfold and work. A huge establishment of education research and administrative policy tends, not to possibilities, but to practicalities. Most of what is now written about education concerns schools: what schools and teachers in them should do; who should run them, how, and with what sort of support; how communities should staff their schools; what laws should govern them; and what they should teach. The great issues of our time, when they enter discussion of schooling at all, enter programmatically — education for diversity, for social responsibility, for national service, for global awareness, and on. We do not suggest that these programs are wrong or inappropriate. They are incomplete. To the degree that they dominate public discussion of education, they obscure matters that are both difficult and important. Through Emilia, we want to balance the dominant concern for educational practicalities with critical attention to the possibilities of formative education.
As educators who have spent substantial careers working with successful students in prestigious, selective schools and universities, we are struck by the range of achievement that well-advantaged students achieve, from embarrassing mediocrity to astonishing excellence. The basic educational commitment should be to the full realization of each person's humane potentialities. Political economy can strive for equity; education and educators must strive for the full employment of human possibilities — if ever reached the two goals will converge, but the paths to each are somewhat different and the imperialism of political economy in contemporary life has been undercutting the quality of educative effort. The problem is not one of educational standards. The lament so often voiced that teachers and schools set standards too low simply dithers further about the typical and the average. In setting and enforcing standards, teachers and schools are not acting as educators, but as agents legitimizing the broad allocation of goods and advantages within the sociopolitical order. What is important educationally, are not "standards," but the formation of self-expectations that control each person's pursuit of her potentialities. This process receives far too little attention, starting with the young themselves, and encompassing their parents, teachers, educational leaders, and the general public.
Education is not primarily a matter of learning what schools and the rest of the adult world teach. It is fundamentally a matter of forming and pursuing a set of self-expectations. Learning what others have to teach is simply a means, and not necessarily the most powerful one, that a person uses to pursue her self-expectations. Each of us knows by introspecting our own educative experience that the results of efforts we have made vary vastly in quality and scope according to the controlling self-expectation we brought to bear on some efforts compared to others. We begin to find what is possible in education by looking at what happens when someone goes all out, pacing herself effectively to bring her full capacities to bear in trying to fulfill a demanding expectation she has of herself. It may be a task set by someone else, but she must make it her own, the controlling goal of what she expects of herself, her measure of her success or failure. What we perceive as the typical or average in education is neither the average nor the mean performance in the pursuit of possibility. Rather it is what routinely happens when large numbers of people suppress that pursuit and go through motions leading to goals that have little to do with their controlling self-expectations.
In addition to education as schooling, as the collective effort at the formal instruction of the young, there is a more fundamental, formative education that aggregates from each person's aspirational efforts throughout their lives. Through Emilia and StudyPlace as a whole, we want to engage in this formative education. We think it comes about as people extend knowledge, direct attention, and inspire effort in ways that might inform the choices that we make as groups and individuals — all of us, many of us, some of us, and each of us. By these choices, by these expectations that we choose for ourselves, we shape our lives and the lives of those on whom we have an influence. This process of determining our self-expectations never stops, for we form and reform them continually. But by and large, we do so in a vacuum.
All of us, especially the young, face a great problem of evaluation, critically ascertaining what is educative and what is miseducative in the constituent elements of our culture. It is not simply providing instruction in language, but also understanding how language is educative and miseducative, how language conditions possible education. It is not simply teaching mathematics or science, but clarifying when, why, and how they are educative and when, why, and how they may be miseducative. It is not simply learning history, or politics, or economics, but also comprehending their uses and abuses, how these deaden and activate fulfilling potentials. All knowledge and culture is not only operational, it is also formative, shaping human possibility. Through Emilia, we seek to expand and improve the formative qualities of our cultural resources.
