When the temperatures drop in the nighttime, some homeless people seek shelter in unsafe buildings.
Many of those buildings have no heat and so vagrants start fires to keep warm posing serious fire hazards.
Not only do these fires pose a problem to houses near them, but also to fire fighters.
Many of these abandoned homes are not structurally sound so when fire fighters go in to extinguish the fire they are at serious risk of physical injury and possible entrapment.
To report a house in your neighborhood that you believe is unsafe and poses a hazard to your community you can contact the Dothan Permit and License Department at 615-4450.

DAMMERON VALLEY - About 1,500 homes throughout sections of Winchester Hills, Diamond Valley, Veyo, Brookside, Gunlock and Dammeron Valley have had their power go out unexpectedly several times since Dec. 23, including an outage that lasted nearly 14 hours in Dammeron Valley.
A variety of causes led to the blackouts, including a fire and at least two cases of weather-related damage to power poles, lines or other equipment and some residents are getting angry about being left in the dark.
"This is kind of ridiculous," said Julie Ballinger, of Winchester Hills, whose power has been out four ...

|Very late stent thrombosis after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation observed using optical coherence tomography and coronary angioscopy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21041855 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) are now commonly used for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) because they dramatically reduce the rates of restenosis and target lesion revascularization, even in small vessels and long lesions as compared with bare-metal stent. The unresolved issue about SES use is the possibility of late stent thrombosis. Late stent thrombosis is a very rare, but serious complication that may result in acute myocardial infarction or sudden cardiac death. However, the mechanism of late stent thrombosis with SES has not been established. We report a patient with very late stent thrombosis 37 months after SES implantation who underwent optical coherence tomography and coronary angioscopy.

At the General Debate of the Operational Activities Segment
Substantive Session of the ECOSOC,
26 February 2014, ECOSOC Chamber (CB)
Mr. President,
Indonesia aligns itself with the statement made by the Plurinational State of Bolivia on behalf of the G77 and China.
Over the past decade, development cooperation has been continuously evolving, due to the constant need of adapting to new actors, contexts and issues.
The United Nations, in this connection, has been playing a unique role in development that cannot be fulfilled by any other international organization. However, to remain relevant it should continue adapting its practices to the changing development landscape.
A new development agenda with focus on sustainable development and poverty eradication is currently on the high profile of our discussion on various fora.
Increasing emphasis has also been given to the need for integration and coherence of development and humanitarian frameworks.
With the adoption of the quadrennial comprehensive policy review in December 2012, most of our concerns in the debate of repositioning the UN system in the changing development landscape are being addressed.
The QCPR provides system-wide strategic guidance to ensure the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, coherence and impact of the activities of the UN system in responding to the evolving international development and cooperation environment as well as to the modalities of country-level presence, including through its chapter on "Improved functioning of the United Nations development system".
The QCPR also identified the focus that needs to be emphasized by all 11 UN Funds and Programs, six research and training institutions and three other entities that cover the whole gamut of UN development activities, in order to make the system respond better to the changing development landscape and needs.
In this regard, the answer to the question on how to adapt the UN system to important changes taking place in the broader development landscape lies in how well the system translates the QCPR mandates into evidence-based results at all levels, particularly at the operational activities at the country level.
In the background of this year's launch of most of UN entities Strategic Plans, it is important to ensure that the implementation of the strategic plans are consistent with and guided by the QCPR.
The Economic and Social Council has the mandate to coordinate the funds, programs and specialized agencies, thus monitor the full implementation of the QCPR. To ensure that the UN development system steers in the right direction, the Council needs to continue reviewing and systematically assessing the implementation of the QCPR.
South-South Cooperation is increasingly prominent within the international development cooperation architecture. Nevertheless, we reiterate that it is not a substitute for, rather a complement to, North-South cooperation.
It offers viable opportunities for developing countries to pursue their individual and collective effort for economic growth and sustainable development.
By virtue of each country's capabilities and comparative advantages, developing countries can share their development progress. In developing countries, that manifestation of solidarity among peoples and countries of the South is helping to improve national well-being, national and collective self-reliance, the attainment of internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals.
With the support of the international community, including funds, programmes, specialized agencies and other entities of the United Nations, south-south cooperation can make a real difference. We urge the UN development system to mainstream South-South cooperation and triangular cooperation and policies into the regular country-level programming of operational activities for development.
In relation to this, there are two important points that I would like to emphasize: first, there needs to be strengthening of support mechanisms at the global and regional levels, including drawing upon the knowledge networks of global entities and the capacities of the regional commissions and the United Nations development system regional teams; and second, support developing countries, at their request and with their ownership and leadership, develop their capacities to maximize the benefits and impact of South-South cooperation and triangular cooperation in order to achieve their national goals.
Thank you, Mr. President.

Mining Marissa Mayer's Googly Past For A Glimpse At Yahoo's Future
Marissa Mayer has already solved Yahoo's problems—at Google. Can she now solve them at Yahoo, too? We thumb through the Mayer interview archives for insights into what to expect for Yahoo under its new CEO.
It's hard to have a conversation about what Yahoo is without cracking the requisite joke about everything it's not. So when news broke yesterday that Google employee No. 20, the company's first female engineer Marissa Mayer had resigned as VP of local and maps to become Yahoo's new CEO starting today, the irony was not lost on the tech world. (A second surprise broke late yesterday, when Mayer told Fortune she was pregnant.)
Mayer, after all, is largely responsible for the spartan comfort we've come to associate with the Google aesthetic and user experience across products from Gmail to Google Maps to that timeless, stark-white Google.com homepage—in other words, everything we don't associate with Yahoo. (Proof.)
But then we started combing through conversations we, and others, have had with Mayer over the years. What we found was a clarity of vision for Google that could have been, and still is, entirely applicable to Yahoo. Although Mayer's vision as CEO won't immediately come to the fore—rebuilding one of the world's biggest Internet brands takes time, after all, especially one as battered and broken as Yahoo—it's probably safe to assume she won't be pulling a Carol Bartz anytime soon. Here, we revisit some of those conversations to explore potential directions Mayer may take at Yahoo.
"Google has the functionality of a really complicated Swiss Army knife, but the home page is our way of approaching it closed. It's simple, it's elegant, you can slip it in your pocket, but it's got the great doodad when you need it. A lot of our competitors are like a Swiss Army knife open—and that can be intimidating and occasionally harmful." ("The Beauty of Simplicity," November 2005)
If Google's search competitors were open Swiss Army knives, then Yahoo is one that's still outfitted with a tangle of dagger-sharp doodads, files, tweezers, and toothpicks that can seem barely distinguishable from one another, and all hurtling at your face. Google's lean aesthetic was famously accidental—cofounder Sergey Brin slapped together the HTML for a barebones front-end webpage that would connect queries to the back-end tech powering the actual search engine—but the fact that it remained that way for more than a decade was no accident. That was the result of Mayer, at the time the VP of search and user experience, saying no to a lot of people who would have had the Google homepage look more like, well, Yahoo's.
At the time, Mayer told Fast Company, "Once you have a homepage like our competitors, paring it back to look like Google's is impossible. You have too many stakeholders who feel they should be promoted on the home page." It would be rich to speculate that Mayer would take Yahoo's flagship homepage down the lean road she once traveled with Google's—it makes the media's job too easy, for one; Google patented it, for another—but her refusal to let others sway her clean vision gives us hope that Mayer will strip down Yahoo's convulsion-inducing homepage, and sooner rather than later. (Read more to see how products such as Image Search landed on Google's main page under Mayer's watchful eye.)
"I tell them, 'The Googly thing is to launch it early on Google Labs and then iterate, learning what the market wants—and making it great.' The beauty of experimenting in this way is that you never get too far from what the market wants. The market pulls you back." ("Marissa Mayer's 9 Principles of Innovation," February 2008)
That's Mayer on how she used to tell her programmers to build Google products: launch early and often, and the market will help shape them. This mindset has become second-nature to Mayer, a self-proclaimed "geek" raised in a culture of geeks, where the "Googly" way was the only way. Yahoo, on the other hand, is one of the few places in Silicon Valley that's not conducive to geekiness. Yahoo has always balked at the idea of referring to itself as a "technology" company—even long after once-formidable Microsoft had ceased to be a serious threat—and instead calls itself a "media" company. (That flip-flopping happens today: Yahoo still refers to itself as a "technology-powered media company.") It'll be interesting to see whether Mayer will bring Google's product-development ethos to Yahoo, especially when there isn't even an existing pipeline from which to coax out products. But perhaps that means Mayer will start sweeping out Yahoo's dusty corners to resurrect forgotten experiments, such as Yahoo Labs, and instill a sense of product innovation in her team. (Read more to find out how one of Mayer's principles of innovation sparked the genesis of Google News.)
"We want people to be able to find things in the real world that they're going to really like, the same way they do with search. And we love data problems. We like them when they're big. We like them when they're messy. The local data space is a big messy data problem." ("Google's Marissa Mayer Talks Location Strategy," May 2011)
It's hard to think of a more effective way to describe Yahoo than as "a big messy data problem," so it's a good thing Mayer likes those. When Mayer first began talking about her job as VP of local and maps, it was clear she wanted to imbue Google's local initiatives with the same sense of utility that she brought to search during her decade as search's VP. The world embraced Google search because it gave us just enough of what we wanted, rather than what Mayer said its competitors offered, which was "everything you could ever want, even when you don't." Google gave us a sense of personalized control that was, and still is, impossible to replicate on any of Yahoo's content-firehose websites. Think about it as the difference between dining at a 5-star restaurant where you can order exactly what you'd like versus going to an all-you-can-eat buffet where all the food is mediocre, but sure, you'll have some because it's there, and so why not? And it's a pretty large buffet at that: If you'll remember, Hotmail is still the most popular email service and Yahoo sites still collectively make up one of the top 5 web properties. So it's powerful to imagine what would happen if Mayer were able to turn around Yahoo's massive trove of Internet properties and revive user interest in what it has to offer. Think, "everything you could ever want...and you'd always want it." (Read more of Mayer's take on Google's location strategy.)
"If I'm an entrepreneur and I want to start a Web site, I need a billing system. Oh, there's Google Checkout. I need a mapping function. Oh, there's Google Maps. Okay, I need to monetize. There's Google AdSense, right? I need a user name and password-authentication system. There's Google Accounts. This is just way easier than going out and trying to create all of that from scratch. That's how we're going to stay innovative." ("Marissa Mayer's 9 Principles of Innovation," February 2008)
Every company experiences failure (even Apple). And when you embrace a total-assault-style approach to your product development like the one Mayer's describing, you're bound to have a few more of them, in addition to your successes. (Google Checkout, for example, folded into Google Wallet last November.) Which points to one of the fundamental differences between Google and Yahoo: Google anticipates a few failures on the road; Yahoo tends not to, yet fails regardless.
The best example of the difference between the two companies is in their respective early approaches to social: Mayer herself was one of the key players in bringing Google's failed social network Orkut to life; Yahoo sat on Flickr for years, only realizing the photo-sharing network's goldmine of social potential after Facebook had long overtaken the space. (For more on Yahoo's history with Flickr, see Gizmodo's terrific feature.) For each of Google's failures, it has seen success. What's more, those successes have been in areas where it wasn't necessarily the first to innovate—just the first to offer powerful and unique products that had resonance with users. Google wasn't the first to email or news aggregation, yet Gmail and Google News became consumer hits. And though it's hard to say what unique offerings Yahoo provides its users today (other than its unique way of distracting you with stories about the world's largest peach cobbler), it would be fantastic to see Mayer pull something totally out of left-field—a next-gen Yahoo Mail client that challenges Gmail to innovate again, for instance. Mayer's in a unique position to experiment because Yahoo has a bit of coasting room, thanks to the 700 million visitors it commands each month. Innovation on that scale has the potential to be massive—whether it'll be massive enough to take on Mayer's former stomping ground, it's too early to tell.

Also, by what measure do you consider Google News to be a consumer hit?
Last month 66.0 million uniques in the US visited Yahoo! News vs. 18.7 million for Google News.
Will definitely be interesting to see Marissa's mark on Yahoo!. I sure hope it's more than replicating Google.
Maybe if Yahoo! could somehow become slightly less Liberal/Left-Leaning in its news operation on the homepage, perhaps someone like myself might hate them slightly less. They don't need to come directly to the middle, but just a little push away from the Left in all their editorial decision making might make for a better user experience.
I just don't see anything here - or anywhere else, for that matter - that makes me do anything but like Mayer. She's clever, sassy, user-driven and usability-focused.
I think this could be one of the shrewdest moves we have ever seen, and will ever see, from Yahoo! I would love to have been a fly on the wall in negotiations. Clearly a decade in any capacity is a long time, even at Google.
But where Google have the money to innovate into the future, I wonder what promises were on the table for Mayer at Yahoo!?
Exciting times for sure, but as your writer intimates, change won't happen overnight.
Agreed. From a societal point of view, however -- couldn't Marissa be doing something better with her time? Does Yahoo really need resurrecting? Let it go. How about working on a decision-making mechanism for our democracy, seriously under stress due to lack or fabrication of data. What about a Truth Machine that widely distributes knowledge, awareness, and the ability to act, thus helping us get off the ultra-partisan dime that is killing our nation? In fact, it seemed Google was going in that direction before monetization became its every goal.
Each time one of these technological geniuses decides to "make it in the market," we as a society miss another chance to get a grip. Dollars may result, but living day to day just seems to get worse. The market mismatches great talent with trivial challenges.
Every day, really smart people step off the treadmill to do things truly grand for the social order and humanity. Much as we may admire Mayer, their achievements are even worthier of our attention.

I like to cross the Elizabeth bridge by car driving from Buda to Pest. The best is when you arrive from the direction of Hegyalja street (you have a chance for it if you arrive to Budapest for example from Vienna by car). Its a breathtaking moment when you suddenly have a sight to the Elizabeth bridge and if there is no traffic jam you can reach quite easily to Pest to the Kossuth Lajos street having amazing buildings like this around. I was born here…but I still enjoy a lot of parts of the city as a newcomer:)

lovely crisp image Zsolt.
I didn't realize that there was a place called Buda and another place called Pest! Love your picture.

PHOENIX (AP) - The Arizona Diamondbacks have reinstated outfielder Mark Trumbo from the 15-day disabled list and optioned outfielder Roger Kieschnick to Triple-A Reno.
Acquired in an offseason trade with the Los Angeles Angels, Trumbo was tied for the NL lead with seven home runs and was second with 19 RBIs when he went on the DL with a stress fracture in his left foot on April 22.
The 28-year-old hit a combined .458 with five homers and 12 RBIs in seven rehab games with Reno and the AZL D-backs.
Kieschnick hit .207 with a homer and two RBIs in 19 games for Arizona.

New Zealand Embassy Jakarta, Indonesia
From the Ambassador's Blog: Education: why New Zealand?
We have stepped up our engagement with Indonesia around education links. Why? We want to support Indonesia and we want to share our world class capabilities with our friends in Indonesia.
The New Zealand story
New Zealand has long been recognised for providing world class education. International education really kicked off with the Colombo Plan scholarships, awarded to students from developing nations like Indonesia since the 1950s.
By the 1980s, New Zealand had developed an international education capability. Today the sector is strong and diverse, encompassing university and polytechnic education, secondary school and specialist learning, including in areas like English language, aviation, agriculture and tourism. There's something for everybody.
And the world comes to us. In 2012, there were around 100,000 international students in New Zealand. The largest group was from China (over 24,000). India (11,000), South Korea (almost 10,000) and Japan (9,600) were the next largest. Indonesia was our 15th largest source of students, with 800 – we need to do better, but more on that later.
Seven of our eight universities are ranked in the top 500 in the world (the eighth doesn't register only because it is small). No other country can boast that level of quality across all of its universities.
We also have excellent polytechnics, secondary schools and specialist training institutions.
We pride ourselves, not only on providing top quality education, but also doing so in a safe, friendly and fun environment, where there is a real emphasis on student welfare. According to the Global Peace Index, New Zealand was the second most peaceful country in the world in 2102. According to the 2012 HSBC Expat Explorer Survey, New Zealand was the friendliest country in the world.
I guess one measure of our success is Nobel Prize winners. Three kiwis have won Nobel prizes: Ernest Rutherford (1908 for splitting the atom and other work on radioactive substances), Maurice Wilkins (1962 Nobel for his contribution to the discovery of the structure of DNA) and Alan McDiarmid (2000 for his contribution to the discovery and development of electrically conductive polymers).
New Zealand also ranks highly on global innovation assessments and has a strong reputation for innovation in areas like agriculture, government policy, film-making and technology. This forms part of New Zealand's appeal as a location for study.
And let's not forget New Zealand's fabulous scenery and the wide range of leisure activities available throughout the country. Auckland and Wellington are routinely ranked among the world's most liveable cities.
So whether we're talking quality of education, quality of life, affordability, that x factor around innovation or friendliness, New Zealand really does have it all.
Indonesia – relationship-building for mutual benefit
We have awarded scholarships to Indonesians to study in New Zealand for about 60 years. Currently we offer 50 postgraduate scholarships each year to Indonesians, up from 15 awards in 2010.
Our NZ Embassy site and the NZ Aid site have more information on the scheme. The 2013 round closed in April, but there will be another application round starting in early 2014.
Applications close mid-April each year for awardees who plan to start studies in the following academic year (usually in February and July).
We signed an education agreement with Indonesia in 2011 to share education policy experience and insights. Early childhood education has been an early priority. The next meeting of the working group to manage the relationship is scheduled to be held in Indonesia in August.
We have worked to develop stronger links with the Indonesia Ministry of Education. Agreements have now been signed with the Indonesian Higher Education Directorate General (Dikti) which makes New Zealand a priority destination for Indonesian academics to target for their doctoral and masters studies. This makes New Zealand one of just six destinations worldwide prioritised for such study. Dikti has also signed agreements with four of our eight universities making them priority partners for study. Each agreement differs slightly, but all provide advantages for Indonesian academics taking up study opportunities in New Zealand. www.newzealandeducated.com
We have also worked to build stronger institutional linkages between Indonesia and New Zealand. 19 new agreements have been signed over the past 18 months. Indonesian partner universities include the University of Indonesia, Gadjah Mada University, Bogor Agricultural Institute, State Islamic University of Jakarta, Airlangga University, Paramadina University, and Binus. These arrangements provide opportunities for cooperation including student and staff exchange, joint research, twinning or dual degrees. The goal is to build ever stronger connections between our institutions.
At leaders level, both countries see merit in more Indonesians coming to New Zealand. President Yudhoyono and other senior Ministers here have signalled that they'd like to see more student exchange.
We have begun to promote New Zealand across Indonesia as a wise choice for study. We ran education fairs in Medan, Jakarta and Surabaya in March, following up a fair held in Jakarta in 2012. We will hold another round of fairs in August. 23 institutions participated in the March fairs which attracted a good deal of interest among parents and prospective students, online and in the media.
We believe New Zealand not only provides a high quality, safe and friendly education experience but also a reasonably priced one. At the undergraduate level, annual tuition fees vary according to the specific course but are in the region of US$18,400 – 26,400 (NZ$23,000-33,000). A specialised course like training to be a pilot is more expensive, around US$60,000 (NZ$75,000). Annual living costs are around US$12,000 (NZ$15,000).
For doctoral study we also offer international students domestic fees (on average around US$5,000 per year for PhD study). Together with relatively low living costs, the ability for a candidate to work part-time and their partner full-time and access to education and health services on the same basis as New Zealanders, this is a very attractive opportunity.
We believe that Indonesians that study in New Zealand will have a great learning and living experience, returning with world class qualifications that will help them contribute to Indonesia's development and prosperity. New Zealand gets to make new friends for life and see the strong web of relationships between our countries get even stronger and more resilient.
For a lot more information on what's on offer, visit: www.newzealandeducated.com
We seek a deeper stronger relationship with Indonesia and education forms a key part of that. With all that's on offer in New Zealand, we look forward to saying "haere mai" (welcome in Māori) to a lot more Indonesians in the coming period.

Notorious for her strong networking abilities and desire to make things happen (she got her bachelor's degree in just three years), Stacey Bartelson has been critical to nearly every success Rosemount Rotary has experienced, serving as a charter member, past president, membership chair, and member of the fundraising committee.
Stacey got involved with Rotary because she felt the organization's motto of "service above self" aligned well with her values and desire to make a difference in the Rosemount community and around the world. As a result, it isn't a surprise that she is signed up to be a STRIVE mentor and notes that Feed My Starving Children and Rosemount Family Resource Center are two of her favorite service projects.
The best part about Rotary for Stacey, though, is very much in keeping with her personality. She says her best Rotary memories surround getting to know the amazing members of the club and, in turn, developing meaningful friendships.
In addition to Rotary, Stacey is a part of the Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce, Business Council, BNI and the Women in Financial Services Industry. She is also wife to Dale and mom to Dawson – her brand new baby boy – and her four-legged daughter, a Boston terrier named Gracie May. Stacey will try to tell you she is boring, but her ability to make everyone feel warm and welcome as she shares experiences about growing up in Iowa and the tales of interesting people and places she has encountered will quickly suggest otherwise.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Two Orange County men are among six people charged with making and selling synthetic drugs that mimic the effects of marijuana and Ecstasy, among other drugs.
Federal authorities say it's the first such prosecution in Southern California.
The Orange County Register reports 26-year-old Kyle Kledzik of Dana Point and 38-year-old Sean Libbert of Newport Coast were arrested Friday morning.
At a court hearing Friday afternoon, each pleaded not guilty to selling $12 million worth of "spice," ''bath salts" and the chemicals used in making the drugs. A judge ordered both held pending trial.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says the men sold the drugs through a mail-order business called RCS Labs.
Prosecutors say the other four defendants, three of whom are still at large and unidentified, are Chinese.

America as a Safe Haven
12:00 AM, Jun 9, 2012 • By IRWIN M. STELZER
In America, Federal Reserve Board chairman Ben Bernanke and his colleagues are waiting for the fog to lift from their crystal balls, even though Vice Chairman Janet Yellen concedes that "several serious headwinds [are] facing the U.S. economy." And what passes for the nation's political leadership remains paralyzed until after the November elections, if not longer.
In Europe, the eurocracy remains locked in doctrinal disputes about the efficacy of austerity and stimulus, with Germany calling for the former and most of its eurozone colleagues pleading for increased German financial help to their economies, a position not helped by the decision of France's new president, François Hollande, to lower the retirement age of many French workers to age 60, reversing his predecessor's reform of the pension system that included raising the retirement age to 62. The added pension costs will be covered by an as yet unspecified tax on "the rich," many of whom are hunting for flats in London and New York. German workers, to remain in harness until 65-67 years of age, are unlikely to find it reasonable to be asked to subsidize the pensions of younger French ones.
All eyes are now on next week's gathering of the G20 leaders in Cabo, Mexico. Don't expect much. Mrs. Merkel is in no position politically to do more than a little, and she has already given the back of her hand to British prime minister David Cameron's plea that she fund immediate crisis measures. Meanwhile, America's sad tale of deficits as far ahead as the eye can see makes it unlikely to get more than a polite hearing—if that—for its preachments on the advantages of a new stimulus. There seems to be no one on the horizon who can lead the leaders to the promised land of sustained growth.
All is not gloom, however. Most regions are still growing, even if only moderately, the important housing sector seems finally ready for release from intensive care, and with the average age of automobiles now on the road around 11 years, vehicle sales should continue to remain more than satisfactory.

In order to celebrate the start of Nuclear Dawn's pre-purchase offer on Steam, we are releasing our first official tutorial video, which takes new players through the basic stages of resource point capture, teamwork, and not dying too easily on the battlefield.
Posted by iwBen on Jul 28th, 2011
That's right! Nuclear Dawn is now officially available for pre-order on Steam! Following Iceberg Interactive's announcement last week, InterWave Studios and Valve Software are making the game available with a 10% pre-order discount for both single and four packs.
It has been a long road, fraught with delays and hardship, and we would like to thank you all for sticking with us through it all. Now that the game is nearing completion, we are proud to announce that Nuclear Dawn's full price is set at $24.99 USD, €19.99 Euros or £16.99 GBP, and other relative price points depending on your location and currency of choice. Four-packs will also be available for pre-order, and will carry a further substantial discount. Ofcourse when you buy the game, it will be for both platforms, Mac and PC.
Early adopters, as well as knowing that they kept us in warm blankets and soup until the release date, will receive a 10% discount on the full price, as well as automatically gaining access to the closed beta starting on August 25, 2011.
The game's release date is currently set for September 25, 2011, when the pre-order discount will end, and early closed beta adopters will be able to unleash their month's training head start on those who weren't wise enough to pre-order. You have been warned!
Check out the first full tutorial video below, or visit the Nuclear Dawn website for more details about the game.
Visit our forums here, and follow us on:

Aside from additional structures and support powers, what other purpose do resources have while vehicles are not included yet?
I saw this at steam today and it looks interesting, it reminds me of Battlefield 2142, which is a game I really liked. It's not clear to me how the RTS part is going to work though. I'll check out some post-release feedback to see if this is worth my money ;)
I love the epic lag moments lol
I pre-ordered this the second it was available!
so go with your mates and capture points...whats new, and what do i get if i preorder?
a game :D
There will be further tutorials that run through the rest of the game. Pre-order perks include a 10% discount, early access next month, and other as-yet unannounced goodies.
CAAAAAAAANNNNNNN-not be captured by a single soldier.
Looks very polished, seems a little to expensive for me atm but may buy it if it's in a steam sale later :D
If you can't afford this, try Empires mod for the Source engine - very similar concept.
I did and found that Empires was dead. Lots of servers, very few players.
Theres 100 people playing it at the moment You might have got bad timing.
Game is a bit expencive for me. For comparison. Section 8 2 was £10 (this is £15) and included a single player campaign.
My main issue though is lifespan. In particular that only the biggest games and mods survive. After a week I imagine this will be dead much like Breach, Blacklight, Section 8 ect. This game really needs decent bots.
oh man you mean for the low low price of 22.49 I can play what is essentially a mash up of COD's gunplay and BF2142's general gameplay on the SOURCE ENGINE? Let me break out my wallet!
Empires mod, faggots.
Will there be a demo?
20 dollar too expensive ? I think it looks like real fine quality and if you dont want to spend 20 dollars for a fine fps game you would like to play, youre just cheap.
Looks like Empires on crack... Or even Natural Selection 2... No thanks, I'll pass. I'm fed up with pre orders of games that turns out to be total **** (yes, I'm looking at you BRINK, Crysis 2, and DNF). So give us a demo, or no buy.
Come guys, dont try to compare indie developers if full flagged mainstream developers. They are completely different so are the experience. For the time this been in development at least we can rest assure that it have a lot of though done in gameplay (real PC gameplay, not a ported one) different from mainstream where everything is rushed(most of the time a bad port).
But for sure a Demo would be welcome.
I am. Indeed that is part of my issue. I can get Fear 3, a fairly recent release, for £20. Even if we say you are right and the higher price is justfied for being indie, Section 8 2 was £10, had MP, Survival and a SP campaign. Blacklight and Breach were both £10 and had similar production values. (and are both dead, hence why this needs bots) Where is the extra money going and will it matter 1 week after release?
Then there is your claim of "real PC gameplay". What is that exactly? Yes, there are some really bad posts out there, and there are some games dumbed down for consoles, but where is the line drawn. Half Life 2 is on Xbox, is that a 'real PC game'?
Pre-order money is going to pay the developers so that FREE DLC can be released...unless you'd rather it be for-pay DLC... it has been stated that the DLC will include forms of AI, and Vehicle play will be (re) added later as well. Probably new maps, and the list goes on. Not enough pre-orders/purchases this won't happen. And you'll crush the hopes and dreams of a budding developer.

An problem with phone lines made it difficult for people living in one Southern Kentucky county to get through to 911 Monday.
Phone lines went dead around nine Monday morning in Whitley County.
Anyone who dialed 911 had their call routed to Corbin Police, who then contacted Whitley County to have the call dispatched.
It took several hours to repair, due to the holiday.
All phone lines have since been restored.

What price are the people of Michigan paying for corruption and a political culture that accepts graft as just one of those darned things you cant do much about?
I would argue it runs into the billions and counting.
The obvious costs are the least of it. Eight years ago, a federal jury convicted a high-ranking Wayne County official and his wife of extorting $265,000 from contractors at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
Thats not chump change, but its not billions either. Then again, it likely was no more than a fraction of the money frittered away during the construction of Metros midfield terminal that opened a decade ago.
In 2001, the Detroit News reported airport contracts worth $331 million went to political contributors to the late Ed McNamara, the county boss.
This did not prove the system was rigged, but when 17 of every 20 contracts on average are going to insiders, it more than hints at pay to play. And guess who loses money when the best bidder loses out to the best-connected bidder?
«« »»
IF FEDERAL PROSECUTORS can prove it, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick conspired with his dad and a crony to drain cash from the coffers of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department.
If the accusations are true, the dollars lost to bribes and kickbacks could run into the millions. Yet that might seem a pittance compared to the costs of infuriating customers with in-your-face rate increases.
The Flint area is forging ahead with plans to spend more than a half-billion dollars to pump water from Lake Huron. Its new pipeline would parallel Detroits existing 10-foot main, duplicating an investment already made by Michigans hard-working public.
This seems madness. It can only be justified as Genesee Countys escape from Detroits customer-last business model.
«« »»
OTHER HIDDEN COSTS include the price of avoiding responsibility. A federal jury must sort out where DWSDs money went in the Kilpatrick years, but we know where it did not go into infrastructure.
Michigans finest newspaper columnist, Jack Lessenberry, has reported that some of Detroits sewers date to 1870. Its inconceivable the city can reconstruct its sewer system without massive federal and state subsidies.
Whatever the cost, the job must be done. It is no longer a problem; it is a crisis.
Detroit is the No. 1 source of pollution by volume in the Great Lakes watershed, flushing billions of gallons of gray water each year into the Detroit and Rouge rivers. And this is still happening 35 years after a federal judge ordered the city to clean up its mess.
Lake Erie, a dead sea in my youth and one of the sparkling success stories of Richard Nixons Clean Water Act, is dying again, choking on floating islands of algae four times the size of Lake St. Clair.
Much of the blame goes to phosphorous-laden runoff from fertilized farm fields and suburban lawns, but Detroit sewer overflows are a big contributor, too. It is no coincidence the blooms are concentrated on Eries western end near the mouth of the Detroit River.
How many billions will a remedy cost? We can add the total to the cost of mismanagement and chalk it up to the curse of letting charlatans control our public works.
«« »»
AND NONE OF THIS the swindling, the plundering, the gouging, the ineptitude begins to get at the real bottom line.
Think on this for a moment. Fifty years ago, Detroit was larger and more prosperous than Toronto. It was Michigans economic engine, and damn, it purred.
Today, Toronto is nearly four times as populous as Detroit. Ontarios capital bustles, a magnet for the imaginative and the entrepreneurial. Its success has spilled over to the wider region.
Torontos prosperity can be attributed in part to its embrace of diversity. The city motto is Diversity Our Strength, and half of its residents are foreign born. Toronto also has been well-governed, particularly by Michigans minimal standards.
Metropolitan Detroit, by comparison, has emerged in the past half century as the most-segregated community in the United States. Politically, its corruption has been exceeded only by its incompetence, and thats a close call.
Today, Detroit is broke. Its budget deficit is $440 million, and the city owes another $12 billion in unfunded liabilities such as pensions. Any day now, Detroit will either invite the governor to take over, or it will become the largest city in American history to declare bankruptcy.
Either way, it will be hugely expensive for all of us, including lower bond ratings and higher borrowing costs for every Michigan community from Temperance to Iron Mountain.
«« »»
A SUCCESSFUL DETROIT would be money well spent. In fact, Michigan could make no better investment.
The evidence is on view in Indiana, and I dont mean the right-to-work law that took effect 11 months ago. Who knows how that experiment will turn out?
What I find inspiring is the renaissance of Indianapolis. In little more than a generation, it has emerged as one of the nations more dynamic cities. Indianapolis has moved past Detroit to rank behind Chicago as the Midwests second-most populous city.
When core cities such as Toronto and Indianapolis prosper, they lift entire regions or an entire state in Indianas case.
A thriving major city is the surest prescription for a healthy state economy, and the people of Michigan are paying a grievous price for our lack of one.
«« »»
WHAT IS THE ANSWER? How can Michigan escape the clutches of corruption, cronyism and incompetence?
History suggests we should be wary of easy answers.
In 1977, after the Environmental Protection Agency sued Detroit for violating the Clean Water Act, a federal judge took it upon himself to remedy things.
The sludge judge John Feikens oversaw the citys water department for the next 33 years, surrendering the job in 2010 as his health failed. He died last year.
The judge, a Nixon appointee and former chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, is remembered as a champion of the environment, civil rights and prison reform. He was truly an honorable man, but if results are the ultimate measure of success, he cannot be given a passing grade for his oversight of DWSD.
Here we are, 35 years later, and Detroit is still violating the Clean Water Act. The allegations in the Kilpatrick trial not only took place on the judges watch, it was Feikens who in 2002 persuaded the newly elected mayor to hire Victor Mercado as DWSDs director.
Last month, Mercado admitted he looked the other way while his department was looted. The guy recommended by a federal judge betrayed the public trust.
«« »»
GOV. JOHN SWAINSON, a Port Huron native, appointed Frank J. Kelley as attorney general in 1961. Kelley would keep the job for 37 years.
Twenty years ago, supporters of term limits made Kelley a poster child for elected officials who outlast their welcome. Voters bought it and by an overwhelming margin added term limits to the state constitution.
In doing so, we may have crippled Michigans fight against corruption. And I say we because I enthusiastically supported term limits in 1992. Oh, the folly of youth.
Kelley was as straight as they come; no one credibly questioned his principles or integrity. A winner of 10 straight elections, he also had job security. He could have cared less what a governor or a county executive thought. He reported to no one except the people.
During his tenure, Michigan had someone with the political muscle and sheer strength of will to confront corruption. He didnt win every fight, but he didnt duck many either. As the constitution requires, he was the states chief crime fighter, and he took the job seriously.
«« »»
WHAT DID WE GET with term limits? Pfft.
The attorney generals office has become a zoo, a place where political creatures are the strutting amusement.
We know there was corruption at Metro Airport. A federal jury confirmed it. Is anyone surprised that Jennifer Granholm, a product of the Wayne County machine, failed to sniff it out as attorney general?
Her successor, Mike Cox, was a Republican, but with ties to the same machine. Remember his handling of the rumored party at Manoogian Mansion and the murder of a possible witness? Who among you believes Kelley would have met privately with Mayor Kilpatrick and emerged to declare the case closed?
And lets not get started on Bill Schuette, the current office holder and worthy of American Kennel Club registration as a purebred glory hound.
«« »»
AMID ALL THIS GLOOM there is cause for hope, beginning with a biggie: Kwame Kilpatrick no longer holds an elected office.
Dave Bing may not be Detroits Rudy Giuliani, but he appears sincere in his quest for reforms. And Detroits new charter includes an inspector general with full authority to investigate public officials and companies with city contracts. James Heath, who accepted the position in July, could make a difference if hes allowed to do his job.
At the federal level, U.S. District Judge Sean Cox, a George W. Bush appointee, is the new sludge judge. He has ordered sweeping changes in the water departments management and deep cuts in expenses.
Ironically, Detroits largest customer for water, the city of Flint, could wind up investing in a hugely expensive public-works project at the very moment when DWSD finally gets its house in order.
«« »»
WHATEVER FAULTS can be assigned to Gov. Rick Snyder, corruption is not among them. The man positively squeaks.
He is about to add a new title, majordomo of Detroit, whether he wants the job or not. It will give him an unparalleled opportunity to demand reforms as part of the price of a rescue.
Lets hope the governor considers returning control of the water department to professional engineers, much as it was before 1974 when DWSD was acclaimed as a world-class operation.
None of us would tolerate a power company that sold electricity in Capac or Algonac for three times what it charged in Yale or Marine City. Why would we allow this with water, the most essential service of all?
In a sensible society, an independent, regional authority would provide the water department with oversight while Detroit, as the owner, profited from guaranteed revenues the city desperately needs.
«« »»
PERHAPS NO REFORM is more essential than a change of public attitudes. We have a duty to pay attention; a responsibility to care. Every now and again, its helpful to get mad.
Earlier this year, when the Center for Public Integrity graded the 50 states on their efforts to combat corruption, Michigan and six other states Georgia, Maine, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia and Wyoming received Fs.
Well, that doesn't happen in a state where the people demand open, honest, accountable government. The job before us is too big, and the price we will be expected to pay is too high. We cannot afford to keep looking the other way.
