Some former writers went on to work in the industry itself, either on the community or development side of things. We wanted to spotlight those Massively alumni with this article detailing their accomplishments. As an added bonus, a few of the former staffers answered some questions regarding their new gig. Follow along for more!
Michael Zenke -- Editor-in-Chief (September 2007 - February 2009)
Michael had an impressive resume before he helped launch Massively, but building that solid foundation for the site made my job that much easier when I took over for him in early 2009.
What is the title and job description of the position you took after Massively?
Associate Game Designer at SOE Austin, working on the DC Universe Online project.
Do you still hold this position? If not, what do you do now?
I do. I'm on the systems team; that's the team responsible for stuff like items, achievements, collections, and all the other crunchy number-related stuff you see in-game.
What surprised you the most about working in game development, versus writing about it?
The sheer amount of time I spend staring at an Excel sheet. Dead serious -- Excel is probably a system designer's best tool. You concatenate strings, do math, organize thoughts ... all in tiny rows and rows of a mock DB. Other than that, the thing that surprised me most was the passion. Gamers play games because they love them, and that's why game designers make them. It's not for fame or fortune that these people kill themselves to get a game in your hands -- it's all done in the name of fun.
Adrian Bott -- Contributing Editor (March 2008 - November 2008)
Adrian started out as a games journalist in the mid 80s for a Commodore magazine, eventually moving on to design popular tabletop RPGs for Mongoose Publishing. When he came to Massively, he was a seasoned vet and his work proved that. He left to work as a content writer for NCsoft, penning much of the story in Aion.
He now works for MMO and virtual world developer Virtual Fairground.
Joe Blancato -- Contributing Editor (February 2009 - April 2009)
We can't claim too much of Joe's awesomeness from Massively as he was fairly awesome before that. He worked at The Escapist, WarCry, Giant Realm and founded a few sites of his own in the process.
What is the title and job description of the position you took after Massively?
I took a community management gig at Cryptic Studios. My official title was Online Community Representative. I was responsible for working with both the Champions Online and Star Trek Online communities before launch. I gathered beta feedback, had a bunch of fun with our communities, did my best to manage expectations and wrote a bunch of stuff for our websites.
Do you still hold this position? If not, what do you do now?
I don't actually. Just after Champs launched, I moved over to a marketing role at Cryptic. Now I'm a Marketing Specialist. Now, I help the teams announce upcoming projects and help keep our players informed about what's coming next for both games. I put together (with a lot of help) the informational pages for our updates, manage updates on the websites and handle our social marketing efforts (Facebook and Twitter, specifically).
I also chip in on metrics, longer-term marketing strategy, asset creation/management and work with our community team to make sure our public-facing departments are on the same page. A lot of what I do now is gathering a lot of disparate elements and forming them into something digestible for our customers.
What surprised you the most about working in game development, versus writing about it?
Two things!
1) How similar what I do now is to what I did when I was in editorial. It's very much a different side of the same coin. I still do lots of writing, data mining, developer interviews, fretting over website design philosophy and so on. That's the stuff I liked when I was writing about games, so it's been a pretty great fit for me.
2) How much has to go right for a game to get made. Especially in the MMO space, it really is a miracle that a game can make it from concept to ship. The first few months at Cryptic were really eye-opening, both personally and professionally. A lot of stuff I used to take for granted ("how hard can THIS be?") turned out to be very intricate and complicated. Once you're on the other side of the curtain, you notice all the machinery. It's complex and impressive, but definitely overwhelming at first.
Kyle Horner -- Contributing Editor/Columnist (November 2007 - April 2010)
Kyle was among the very first to have his words on Massively and he stuck with us for two and a half years. In addition to being a news blogger, he also maintained a weekly column and started the very first game-specific column as we know them today. He went on to write for GamePro before landing a gig at Turbine as a content designer.
We look forward to seeing what Kyle has in store for us at Turbine!
James Egan -- Contributing Editor (April 2008 - February 2010)
James was the EVE Online lead on the site for most of his time here. EVE was always his passion and it only made sense when he came to me one day saying he'll be leaving the site for a position at CCP.
What is the title and job description of the position you took after Massively?
I began at CCP as an EVE Online Community Representative after about two years at Massively, where I'd written a great deal about the EVE player community. In fact, this is what caught CCP's attention and led to them offering me the job. Some EVE Online players may also know me as CCP Shadow.
But what does a Community Rep do? I think the misconception a lot of players have is that people on the Community team are forum moderators when the job involves so much more than that. While being active on the forums (*under breath* smacking down the occasional troll) is one aspect of the position and maybe the most 'visible', ultimately the EVE Community team is focused on keeping our fingers on the pulse of what our players are doing or discussing, as seen across forums (official and unofficial), blogs, and social media. We convey what is happening to the rest of CCP either company-wide, or by talking to people in a specific department. Likewise, we inform the player base about things that are happening in EVE Online via news announcements, the forums and Facebook, and we oversee the dev blog process as well. CCP Fallout and CCP Quell are both quite active on Twitter. The EVE Community team also runs contests and events, and I believe most of us will be there at the next EVE Fanfest, too.
As became clear in my time at Massively, the EVE Online player community has become very active and I loved writing about this – I especially enjoyed the player interviews I did here.
Since the community is now the focus of my job, it means that every day is something different and, although some days bring their fair share of challenges, it's been a great experience. I've certainly had a lot of fun doing this job so far and I think that EVE players have noted this.
Do you still hold this position? If not, what do you do now?
My hire as an EVE Online Community Representative was temporary, so I'd learn the ropes quickly and then assume my current role, which is the DUST 514 Community Manager. For those who haven't heard of DUST 514, this is CCP's upcoming console MMOFPS which extends the EVE setting beyond the EVE Online client and into the console world. So while EVE Online's capsuleers struggle for dominance in space, DUST 514 mercenaries will wage battles on the surfaces of EVE's worlds. Snipers will cut me down if I say much more about the game right now, though.
I remember when Michael Zenke, Massively's Managing Editor at the time, was telling me that CCP announced an FPS tied to EVE Online and I was pretty excited about that – I play a lot of shooters and EVE was my main MMO -- still is. Little did I know that I'd eventually go on to work for CCP and be involved with that game, later revealed as DUST 514.
I still work with the EVE Community team on a daily basis – and always will, given the connections between EVE Online and DUST 514 *glances upward at the snipers* -- but as our ranks grow, I'm shifting my focus over to DUST 514. Actually, I'll be moving back to Shanghai quite soon, which is where I was living when Massively found me. We have an office there where much of DUST 514's development is taking place and I'm looking forward to heading back to my old stomping grounds for a while.
What surprised you the most about working in game development, versus writing about it?
Oh, it's a different world... although my day-to-day work is still quite writing-intensive. Keep in mind I can't comment on what it's like to work in development as that's not what I do at CCP, but in general, working for a game company is so much different than what I'd pictured. There's a lot I could say here to answer this question, but I think the first thing that really hit me was the sense of being a part of something greater. Since this is the first game company I've worked for, I can't say if this is the norm – but I was immediately taken with CCP's company culture. That's something I never fully appreciated when I was on the outside looking in. When I was in Atlanta for my interviews, the day I was officially hired was when the whole office was gathered in the cantina for World of Darkness presentations and some barbecue. Even though I didn't really know anyone there yet, it was a very friendly environment and I felt welcomed right from the start... that I was going to be a part of all of this. It was also very cool that some people I met knew who I was from my work at Massively.
Talking to people in the company about EVE, DUST 514, and World of Darkness since I grew up playing White Wolf's pen and paper RPGs, this really drove the point home – I was going to be working with people who are intensely creative and passionate about the games CCP makes.
This was always one of the things I enjoyed about working at Massively as well, that it's not just about earning a paycheck – the writers at this site really care about what they produce. Truth be told, I wouldn't have been offered my current position had it not been for the work I did at Massively and the positive reception from my readers. So thanks to Massively for giving me a shot in the first place (especially Elizabeth Harper and Michael Zenke), and to the readers for your support in my time as a writer for the site. And of course, props to Brendan Drain for picking up the torch and running with it, you're doing a kick ass job with Massively's EVE Online coverage!
Seraphina Brennan -- Columnist/Senior Editor (March 2008 - October 2010)
Sera started as a columnist on Massively, contributing the insanely popular Anti-Aliased for two years before being promoted to Senior Editor in March of this year. Her work with Massively's community revolutionized how we interact with our readers. From an IRC chat channel to our Steam group, Sera put the readers first, often spending her evenings live-streaming her gaming sessions for others to watch and learn from.
As detailed in her final column, Sera recently took a community manager position at Turbine. It hasn't been said which game she'll be working on just yet, but we look forward to seeing Sera's contributions to the popular game company's community.
As you can tell, we're insanely proud of our former writers and we cherish the relationships we've created with them over the years. We always look forward to their ongoing work in the industry and wish them nothing but good luck.

Equipment List
To prepare the cake:Have all the ingredients at room temperature.Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 325 F. Butter and flour a three-dimensional Christmas tree-shaped pan, tap out the excess flour. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. In a small bowl, combine the dried fruits and orange liqueur and let soak for at least 15 minutes.In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat paddle, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add the brown and granulated sugars and beat until lightened in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stop the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Stream in the eggs slowly, beating well after each addition. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk and beginning and ending with the flour. Beat each addition until just incorporated, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. If using the dried fruit, fold it in to the batter until thoroughly combined.Spoon half of the batter into each half of the prepared pan, spreading a little extra into the top star area of the pan. Place the pan into the oven, taking care to make sure the pan is sitting level on the oven rack. Bake until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and let the cake cool for 15 minutes. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the orange juice and granulated sugar, and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat. Invert the cake pan onto a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Lift off the pan. Brush the cake with the warm glaze while it is still warm. Let the cake cool completely before decorating and serving. *Orange Buttercream is optional, but can be used for assembling the cake. To prepare, have all the ingredients at room temperature. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and continue to beat until combined, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Thoroughly wash and dry the mixer bowl. In the clean mixing bowl, with a handheld whisk, whisk together the sugar, egg whites, salt and cream of tartar. Set the bowl over a saucepan with simmering water, making sure the bowl is not touching the water. Whisk constantly until the mixture registers at 140 F on a candy thermometer, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the mixing bowl from the saucepan. Attach the mixing bowl to the stand mixer and beat on high speed, using the whisk attachment, until the mixture is cool and soft peaks form, 7 to 10 minutes. Gradually add the butter a spoonful at a time, beating well after each addition until smooth. Add the orange zest and orange liqueur and beat well until thoroughly mixed.Makes about 2 cups. Decorating the Christmas Tree CakeOnce the cakes have thoroughly cooled, place both halves of the tree cake back into the tree pan. Trim the surface of the both of the cakes by using a serrated knife to slice off any part of each cake that is taller than the surface of the pan. Carefully remove one of the tree cakes from the pan and place on a clean work surface, leaving the other cake still in the pan. Spread a thin layer of butter cream, about 1/2 cup, over the exposed (cut) side of the tree cake that is still in the pan. Place the other side of the cake on top of the butter cream and press down gently to secure the two halves. Refrigerate the cake in the tree pan until the butter cream is firm, 20 to 30 minutes. Spread 1/4 cup of the butter cream in the center of a cake plate. Carefully remove the entire cake from the pan by slightly inverting the pan until the cake comes loose. Place the tree cake upright on the butter cream to anchor it to the cake plate. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the butter cream is firm, about 30 minutes. Decorate as desired. Makes 12 to 16 servings.

The Emergent Multiverse: Quantum Theory according to the Everett InterpretationThe Emergent Multiverse presents a striking new account of the 'many worlds' approach to quantum theory. The point of science, it is generally accepted, is to tell us how the world works and what it is like. But quantum theory seems to fail to do this: taken literally as a theory of the world, it seems to make crazy claims: particles are in two places at once; cats are alive and dead at the same
Many Worlds?:Everett, Quantum Theory, & RealityWhat would it mean to apply quantum theory, without restriction and without involving any notion of measurement and state reduction, to the whole universe? What would realism about the quantum state then imply? This book brings together an illustrious team of philosophers and physicists to debate these questions. The contributors broadly agree on the need, or aspiration, for a realist theory that

Article Summary
May 21, 2007 A hulking 100 metres long, the Astute is the largest, most heavily armed, stealthiest and most sophisticated submarine ever built for the Royal Navy. The massive nuclear sub, which will never need refuelling in its 25 year service life, is able to circumnavigate the globe underwater, producing its own fresh water and air for the crew - and its range is only really limited by the need for fresh food supplies. From every angle, it is an engineering masterpiece, spoken of as one of the great engineering achievements of all time and more complex than the space shuttle. Britain's Royal Navy is set to launch this new flagship in less than a month.

I was just thinking this morning while cycling about my favorite LBS. It really wasn't a Bike Store, but was a Bike Mechanic. I had this three speed bike with a handle bar shifter that I used everyday to deliver papers. It would make a fine commuter now. Occassionally I would decide to fix it, and I usually managed to really fix it, if you know what I mean. It would could from being a three speed to a single speed in no time - not too bad it if was the middle gear, but not very good when it was on the top gear!
Anyway, there was this older gentleman (probably younger than I am now) who lived near a train track - not sure why that matters but I could find the place to this day. An absolute wizard on repairing bikes. I would limp the bike over to him with a little bit of cash and in about an hour, the thing would be better than new. I almost never had to pay for parts, he had used bikes all over the place to salvage from.
The other thing I remember about him is that he was into building his own mini helicopter. I never got to see it take off, but it sure looked cool.
I suspect by now he has gone on to the great bike repair place in the sky, but I sure wish I could have him here to tweak my bike for me. I am a lot better than I was, but he was a wizard.
So, older geezers, got any fond memories of a LBS of times past?

I really like the vampire you drew, he's not as "ugly" as your usual monsters but he looks pretty suave!
Hey, I was wondering, where do you get your artbooks printed? They look to be really nice quality especially since you offer them at kind of a low price.

Wonderful facial expressions on them all. Love your art style!
i was trying to find this book too
It is a great artwork!
Great Work Mate!
I like the style, reminds me of Richard Crumb great work
I have to ask........ how do YOU put the logo/title on your work? And if you know, how do MOST artists who draft their own logo put THEIRS on their cover pages, if you know?
I apply text/logos/titles in adobe photoshop. If your using hand drawn logos you can scan them in and apply them. If you arent using computers/photoshop.. what I used to do back in the day is take a piece of clear acetate, and either draw your logos on that, or draw them on bristol board cut them out and glue them to the acetate. then lay that over your finished art for photocopying or printing. -- hope that helps-
it realy look like fun and a lot of work
great job man this is way cool

SandBox Security Model
Flash player assigns SWF files to sandboxes based on their origin
Internet SWF files sandboxed based on origin domains Domain: - Any two SWF files can interact together within the same sandbox. - Explicit permission is required to interact with objects in other sandboxes.
local-with-filesystem (default) - The file system can read from local files only
local-with-networking - Interact with other local-with-networking SWF files
local-trusted - Can read from Local files, communicate to any server and access any SWF file.
"The sandbox defines a limited space in which a Macromedia Flash movie running within the Macromedia Flash Player is allowed to operate. Its primary purpose is to ensure the integrity and security of the client's machine, and as well as security of any Macromedia Flash movies running in the player."
Cross Domain Permissions: A Macromedia Flash movie playing on a web browser is not allowed access that is outside the exact domain from which is originated. This is defined in the cross-domain policy file crossdomain.xml. Policy files are used by Flash to permit Flash to load data from servers other than its native domain. If a SWF file wishes to communicate with remote servers it must be granted explicit permission:
<cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="example.domain.com"/> </cross-domain-policy>
The API call System.security.loadPolicyFile(url) loads a cross domain policy from a specified URL which may be different from the crossdomain.xml file
Accessing JavaScript:
A parameter called allowScriptAccess governs if the Flash object has access to external scripts It can have three possible values: never, same domain, always
<object id="flash007"> <param name=movie value="bigmovie.swf"> <embed AllowScriptAccess="always" name='flash007' src="bigmovie.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> </embed> </object>

World Bank Loans to Energy Projects--Both Clean and Dirty--Soar
The World Bank's lending for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects increased by 300 percent between fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2010, to a record $3.4 billion. But over that same period, lending to fossil fuel projects also jumped 430 percent.
Recent loans for coal-fired power plants is evidence to the fact that the World Bank is still in the business of loaning money for massive construction projects with the most favorable cost-benefit ratio -- with benefits measured almost entirely in terms of economic benefits.
"[The World Bank] is constantly stalling on one very important policy: calculating the greenhouse-gas emissions produced by its own projects," said Janet Redman , co-director of the Sustainable Energy and Economy Network at the Institute for Policy Studies. "In its actions, the World Bank has deviated from its rhetoric," Redman said.
World Bank loans for fossil fuel projects topped $6.3 billion in the fiscal year ending in June, $4.4 billion of which was for the construction of new coal-fired power plants, according to the Bank Information Center, a Washington-based watchdog group.
One project in particular, the 4,800-megawatt Medupi Station in South Africa and will emit about 26 million tons of carbon dioxide annually until roughly 2050. Together with another World Bank project, India's Tata Ultra Mega plant, set to go online in 2012, the two projects will emit 50 million tons of carbon dioxide annually -- roughly equivalent to the carbon emissions of the country of Ireland.
But World Bank officials say 2010 was an unusual year for the bank in terms of loans for fossil fuel projects because in previous years, spending for renewables had outpaced traditional coal-fired generation.
And heavy criticism for the $3.75 billion loan for the South African Medupi Station -- criticism that included a protest from the United States, Britain, the Netherlands and Italy in the form of abstaining to vote on the approval of the loan -- has led the World Bank to take steps to present the institution as pro-renewables, including the hiring of an internationally-renowned clean energy expert to help shape strategy.
In September, the World Bank announced that Daniel Kammen of the University of California, Berkeley would be the bank's first chief technical specialist for renewable energy and energy efficiency. Kammen is as serious as anyone about developing clean technologies of the future, but he's also a pragmatist.
Kammen says project worthiness should not be measured by carbon emissions alone and that a broad World Bank energy lending portfolio would likely include fossil fuels for the immediate future. "No institution should be fixated on a single metric," Prof. Kammen recently told The New York Times . "Things that are expensive from a carbon point of view might have a very high social value," he said.
But a recent internal audit by the Independent Evaluation Group says the World Bank is not sufficiently weighing the long term impacts of energy projects.
The World Bank "and the world at large need to learn faster what works and what doesn't and focus on results, not just dollars committed," Kenneth Chomitz, the report's author, said in a press release.
The independent evaluation recommended the bank help clients "find domestically preferable alternatives to coal power," saying coal "should be a last resort."
The bank is currently conducting an energy strategy review in 2010 in hopes of reconciling its mandate of alleviating poverty with the problems and environmental costs associated with traditional coal-fired power projects.
As that process goes forward, World Bank officials say there are currently no plans on the books to finance a new coal-fired power plant.

Where are the First Amendment defenders in all this? They have fled Imus as if he's radioactive. Jackson suggested that the famous journalists who appear on Imus stop showing up in order to register their displeasure over his remarks. Will they? Most are liberals who might be expected to share the outrage over Imus' comments. But all have egos and the stroking they get from Imus, along with the feedback they receive from those who matter to them, may overcome any reluctance they might otherwise have to appear on his show.
During the 1980s, social conservatives who tried to control pornography, including that subsidized by the National Endowment for the Arts, were told such things were the price we must all pay for a "healthy First Amendment." Artists must be free to express themselves. If certain people object to what is on TV, they can change channels, or turn it off.
Why aren't these keepers of the First Amendment flame coming to the defense of Don Imus? It's because they have a double standard. Evangelical Christians, practicing Roman Catholics, politically conservative Republicans, home-schoolers and others who are not in favor among the liberal elite are frequent targets for the left. Anything may be said about them, and it frequently is. But let someone insult the left's "protected classes," be they African Americans, homosexuals or to a lesser extent, adherents to the religion of "global warming," and they must be silenced and punished.
Was Don Imus racially insensitive and offensive? According to my standards, he was. But my standards no longer matter. They have been thrown overboard in favor of a different philosophy. Call it "Anything Goes." Look up the lyrics to that classic Cole Porter song and you have the mentality that passes for contemporary communication and entertainment.
If the Imus case went to trial, no jury in the land would convict him because the prosecutor would not have a universal standard by which to hold him accountable.

NRL investigating alleged sex tape involving New Zealand Warriors player
- From: News Corp Australia
- May 05, 2014
A SEX tape allegedly involving an NRL player and a Kiwi television star is being investigated by the code's Integrity Unit.
A video capturing New Zealand Warriors player Konrad Hurrell allegedly involved in a sex act with a woman was discovered on-line late on Sunday night.
The Warriors are compiling a report on the video, which was seen by a few hundred people, mostly teenagers, before it was taken off line.
The person who uploaded the video remains a mystery but it was found on an Instagram page named after a famous New Zealand television personality.
It features a person, allegedly Hurrell, driving while a woman performs a sex act on him.
The NRL responded to The Courier-Mail about the issue this afternoon.
"The Integrity Unit is aware of the incident and is waiting on a report from the Warriors," a spokesman said.Originally published as TV star and NRL player in sex tape scandal

Commissioner Corner Message Board
Should I veto this trade?
Team A receives:
Steven Ridley
Larry Fitzgerald
Team B receives:
Drew Brees
Jeremy Kerley
Maurice Jones-Drew
Team A will have Luck starting at QB now and could use the help at WR and RB. Team B has Vick and needs a QB. Even needing help at WR and RB, I don't think team A is getting enough in return. Andrew Luck is good but he won't come near the weekly production of Brees. And once MJD comes back, Team B is essentially getting two first rounders just in time for playoffs (which he should be able to make). To me it seems obvious, but is it fair to veto to this trade?
BTW, Team A is a fantasy rookie.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
What's next? Would you like to start vetoing draft picks, especially for new players in your league, when you don't feel they are making the right pick or "getting enough" for their draft order slot?
I'm also commish and it's not your job to manage other players teams or decide what is best for their team. It's only to ensure there is no collusion or cheating. To Yoons point, every trade can seem lopsided or unwise by subjective opinion to certain degree (just as a draft pick may not seem wise or smart to certain people). Every trade I've ever seen I have my own opinion to one side or the other ......there's always a side that I think is making a stupid trade. BUT THAT'S NOT FOR ME TO DECIDE. This one is not bad by any means and you said yourself that you've rejected everyone of his trades because "he's inexperienced" and you don't think any of them are fair.
The only options I see for you as commish are to put a ban on trades (cause they are a waste of effort in your league) OR better yet .........quit as commish, cause you really don't have a clue what you're supposed to be doing.
- 1 Reply to Luke G
Well it seems like the smartest thing for me to do is just ask you to commish my league. Sounds like you know what you're doing.
And FYI, quite a few trades have been completed in my league. Most have been fair. At least two I considered terrible. But both times each manager said they wanted to do it. So I said suit yourself. Why bother making assumptions when you have no idea what you're talking about?
Anybody else wanna give their two cents for the sake of my entertainment?
If you veto a trade, you are basically saying one of the owners can't think for themselves. If this is the case, they should be removed from the league. He could have gotten alot more for Brees, but this is not veto worthy - nor are most trades.
You answered your own question if you can see what each person is looking to get in a trade. I havn;t heard a thing about MJD, when and if he is returning.
The idea of vetoing a trade should be based on possible collusion, dumping players, etc. and not because you think someone is making a foolish choice. Dont get involved where you don't need to
Luck has been a good QB and has put up alot of points so if trading Brees will help out needs for his team then that is his choice and not one you should be making. Basically you are taking advantage of your commish power. Ridley has been a great RB this year and is 6th in the league in rushing with 6 td's and Fitz who hasn't had the best year but has still put up good numbers. Luck isn't really that far off from fantasy points as Brees so the trade could help him out. Plus with MJD being hurt he hasn't been getting anything from him. To me it sounds like you are vetoing this trade for your own personal reasons and not for the good of the league. Your probably just #$%$ you didn't think of it first. I think you need to give up some of your rights as commish and let the league vote on this one

With a name like the champ is here, I was looking forward to a respectable response that I would take into consideration. Boy was I wrong.
Maybe you should read the rest of the posts regarding this topic before you come in here and make accusations like the tough guy you think you are.
I've already stated that this manager has offered me a number of trades that I know would be unfair. Since this is his first year and he's inexperienced, which I also already stated as my driving force behind my decision, I declined his trade offers. So your point about me abusing my power and trying to help myself out exemplifies your ignorance.
Your name is cleary an ironic joke.

No, DO NOT VETO. Its not that bad, allow teams to address needs and play without worrying if things are going to get vetoed or not. Drew Brees for TO...sure. Not this though. Allow teams to manage.
- 1 Reply to nodnarbnap
I have to agree with this. But I really think the manager of Team A will make his team worse. And this is his first year so I don't think he understands that. Since this is a money league, I just feel it's right to veto this trade for the integrity of the league.
No this trade is not veto worthy...
IT does not matter if you think it is fair or not... Everyone thinks differently...
YOu can't just veto because you think it is fair or not.
If that's the case, almost all trades can be vetoed based on fairness because all trades are not fair to certain degree...
Veto the trades that shows collusion... This does not show collusion.
Of course Team A could have gotten more for Brees but he probably needs Ridley for next couple weeks while MJD might not come back.
ALso, he wants to play LUCK and wanted to trade away Brees...
- 1 Reply to Yoon
Thanks for the reply, but I disagree with a lot of this. As a commissioner, I feel it's my duty to veto trades that I believe are not fair. By doing this, I protect the league from any one manager gaining an advantage from an ill advised trade. If this is an unfair trade, which I think it is, then the only fair thing to do is veto it. And to suggest that all trades, to a certain degree, are unfair is silly. In the leagues I play, the vast majority of trades are fair. I know it comes down to the perspective of the manager, but sometimes they don't know what's best. And like I said, this manager is a fantasy rookie and doesn't quite know the value of Brees. I won't let the rest of the managers in the league suffer for the naivety of this manager.
So while the manager may get help from Fitzgerald and Ridley, the loss of Brees is too great making his team worse off.
I wouldnt take anything less than a heathly #1 RB or WR for Brees, but Luck is near the top far as fantasy points go. I dont think Fitz or Rid are close to being enough for Brees. I would veto the trade.

Exactly how I feel, plus MJD when he's healthy. Thanks.

DHAKA, BANGLADESH, December 11, 2001: This website publishes a series of reports listing instances of attacks against Hindus in Bangladesh. For example, it reports that on September 20, at the Rajbari Uttar Sahapara village of Pangsha subdistrict of Rajbari District, a group of armed men entered into two Hindu worship halls and demolished the deities there. In many cases, it is stated that the local police did not respond to calls for help, or refused to investigate or arrest the perpetrators.

JAMMU, INDIA, December 8, 2001: An emergency meeting of Bua Datti Temple committee was held at the temple complex after the conclusion of the annual festival. According to a report from the meeting, surprise was expressed at the behavior of government administrative personnel deployed at the gate of secretariat who unnecessarily harassed the management and devotees entering the temple complex. Sat Pal Saini, president of the management committee of Bua Datti temple, complained to the general council about the negative attitudes of the Jammu and Kashmir government towards the problem faced by the temple committee in performing their day-to-day functions. The temple management committee demanded a separate entrance to the temple and the removal of toilets on the roof of the temple. They also requested the temple canteen be handed over to them and that the preparation of meat in the canteen stop immediately. Sat Pal Saini also informed the devotees that land belonging to the temple is being illegally occupied by the government.
SWEDEN, December 9, 2001: Scientists in Sweden have found evidence ultrasound scans may cause brain damage in unborn babies after they found men whose mothers had tests were more likely to be left-handed. They have concluded some male babies' central nervous systems might have been affected by the process, and the increase in left-handedness indicated some kind of compensation for this damage. The study suggested scanning produced an extra 3 left-handed babies per 100 births. The biggest difference was found among those born after 1975 when doctors introduced a second scan later in pregnancy. Such men were 32% more likely to be left-handed than those in the control group. Apart from the increase in left-handedness, the research found no evidence of other changes in the babies' physiology. Prof. Juni Palmgren, of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, told the Sunday Telegraph: "I would urge people not to refuse ultrasound scanning as the risk of brain damage is only a possibility, but this is an interesting finding and needs to be taken seriously." The implications of the study are important to India where ultrasound is regularly used to determine the sex of the unborn child.
NEW DELHI, INDIA, November 16, 2001: In this article Sue Lloyd-Roberts reveals a stark reality about the working children in India. Domestic girl workers in Bangalore, age 12-14 years of age, rise at 3:00 am to haul water home to their families and by 9:00 am have started a six-hour shift at another job. Child rag pickers, 12-15 years of age sort rubbish into piles of salvageable paper, plastic and metal, which sells for a few rupees. In an attempt to make their plight understood by others, girls in Bangalore have formed a collective called Hasiru Sangha. Together they try to better their life by complaining about the water supply to the local water board and encouraging other slum children to attend government schools. Boys have also joined together to discuss issues of health care and police harassment. They produce a monthly newsletter on their situation.

International experts on the Indian diaspora have spent the past two days in Singapore discussing the best ways of collating and presenting this information. Several Indian Singaporean businessmen were inspired by The Encyclopedia of the Chinese Overseas, which was published here in 1998, and which describes past and present Chinese communities around the world. The South Asian studies program of the National University of Singapore organized the workshops, which started on Thursday. They were supported by the Singapore chapter of the Global Organisation of People of Indian Origin. Program coordinator Peter Reeves says it will take at least three years to collect all the research and information the team needs from contributors around the world. He expects the book to take five years to produce. For more information, e-mail email@example.com.

HYDERABAD, INDIA, December 5, 2001: After meeting with Mr. Ajeya Kallam, Endowments Commissioner working for the government in the state of Andhra Pradesh, priest leaders have been assured that temple wage schedules in the state are going to be revamped to account for inflation. They have also been assured that by January 15 an Archaka (Priest) Welfare Fund will be activated, retirement age will remain at 65 years, instead of being lowered. A pension plan is promised. Taking into consideration these benefits plus others listed in this article, the priest delegation has decided to wait for the government to fulfill its promises before mounting further protests.
LONDON, U. K. December 11, 2001: Twenty-first century Britain is composed "shockingly divided communities," Tony Blair's government has said. The Cantle report, commissioned by the Home Office, warned there would be no quick fixes. It makes 67 recommendations covering areas such as housing, political leadership, education, youth and leisure facilities and regeneration. It called for a change in the way regeneration schemes are managed, which force groups to "compete against each other" and lead to resentment. Home Secretary David Blunkett welcomed the reports and called for a debate on citizenship. The summer's disturbances were some of the worst seen in the UK, with the Bradford violence alone causing damage estimated at US$16 million, and injuring 300 police officers. In a startling indictment of "the growing disaffection of Pakistani Muslims and youths of Pakistani origin," the British government released a new plan to prevent a repeat of the riots in mainly Pakistani and Bangladeshi-populated north-west English towns. Sikh-dominant Southall and Gujarati-dominant Leicester are singled out for praise, "In Southall and Leicester in particular, it was clear to us there was a pride in their community... it was also notable that diversity was seen as a positive thing," the government said. The report praised these communities ability to fit in to society and peacefully resolve problems that occurred.
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, December 9, 2001: UK Home Secretary David Blunkett has urged people from ethnic minorities to develop what he calls a "sense of belonging" in Britain. In a newspaper interview, he says racism is often deep-seated and must be confronted, but immigrants who settle here must do their bit to ensure that future generations grow up "feeling British." But Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy said there was a danger the home secretary's remarks could be misinterpreted to mean immigrants should abandon their culture in favor of that of Britain.
NEW DELHI, INDIA, December 3, 2001: India's Health Ministry ordered companies October 4 to label their food products with a mandatory brown dot if they contain nonvegetarian ingredients. However, after two months, the food industry has yet to comply. Some companies say they are confused. Many are in the process of changing their packaging while others would like to see the labeling consistent across global markets. Others such as MNC Companies, only export vegetarian lines into India. For example, their cheese going to India is made with plant rennet. Extra labeling for them means extra costs passed onto the consumer. Rather than be stumped by the guidelines which do not categorize dietary supplements, the Murugappa group has decided to label their products with a complete ingredient list. Even with all these obstacles, the Health Ministry is forging ahead to enforce the brown dot.
NEW DELHI, INDIA, December 9, 2001: Aids campaigners in India say that as many as 23 people a minute are being infected with the HIV virus. They say that the battle against AIDS in the country is still being inhibited by a lack of unity among the various charities and non-governmental organizations that have been set up to fight the spread of AIDS. The latest figures released by the National Aids Control Organization show that four million people are infected. Campaigners such as Karuna Roy say that there is still a great deal of fear and ignorance surrounding the virus, plus a lack of co-ordination among the various groups set up to fight the spread of AIDS. The spread of AIDS is advanced by low awareness and literacy levels, combined with large migrations of labor.
GURUVAYUR, KERALA, December 9, 2001: After Jayalalitha, former chief minister of Tamil Nadu, donated an elephant to her favorite deity here four months ago, there is a big rush to make the jumbo offering. The media glitz over Jaya's offering spurred four more devotees, including a Malayalam actor, to offer elephants to Lord Krishna, taking the temple's collection to 56. The temple already has perhaps the world's largest private collection of elephants. Its officials are worried whether they will have enough money to look after any more. The food bill for all the elephants is totalling US$520 a day. Besides their staple diet of palm leaves and green grass, the temple feeds the pachyderms the special temple offering, Ana Ootu consisting of rice, green dal and jaggery.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, December 9, 2001: This detailed article explores the influence of the Beatles and particularly George Harrison on the American spiritual landscape. "The evidence can be seen in every health club in America that offers yoga, every athlete who meditates before the game, everyone who shops at a holistic health food store, and every rock star who gives a benefit concert. It was George Harrison and the Beatles who popularized Eastern spirituality and later crafted a different role for the American rock star. He took Indian religious practices from being counter-culture weird to pop-culture cool." 'It would not have happened' without Harrison, says Deepak Chopra, the Indian doctor who himself popularized so many Eastern concepts. 'Overnight they made the world aware of Indian spirituality.' 'The Beatles opened the door for yoga to be accepted in a worldwide way,' says Lilias Folan, an internationally known yoga teacher and author."
NEW DELHI, INDIA, December 9, 2001: The advertisement in The Times of India offering a product from the United States, a kit that claims to improve the odds of picking your baby's sex, seems sinister to women's groups and government agencies here that are fighting discrimination against girls in a society with a powerful preference for sons. A. R. Nanda, a senior civil servant in the health ministry, said today that the advertisement clearly violates a 1994 law against prenatal sex determination tests. Two lawyers have filed a complaint against The Times for printing the ad and Vibha Parthasarathi, the head of the National Commission for Women, an independent body established by Parliament, denounced the product as unethical. The Times replied to its critics today in an unsigned editorial entitled "Sophie's Choice" contends that Indian laws do not prohibit sex selection techniques used before conception.
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, December 8, 2001: To the Rev. David Benke, the ceremony at Yankee Stadium a month ago was a blessing, an opportunity to join other religious and civic leaders in offering comfort to a nation raw from the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. He joined the celebrities and politicians on stage to sing patriotic songs and to pray. But some fellow clergymen took quite a different view: They saw his participation in an interfaith event as heresy. Last week, six pastors from the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, the nation's second-largest Lutheran denomination, filed formal charges calling for Benke's expulsion from the church. Benke "participated in idolatry by participating with non-Christians," one of the dissident pastors, the Rev. David Oberdieck said, objecting to Benke's "syncretism," or promoting the view that all religions are equal. Benke insists that the Yankee Stadium ceremony was not a formal worship service, and thus was not off-limits to Missouri Synod members. A Hindu priest was part of the service, along with Muslims, Jews, Sikhs and Christians.
SOUTHAMPTON, UNITED KINGDOM, November 30, 2001: Dr. Sam Parnia, a physician at Southampton General Hospital, has been given approval to conduct a large scale study on this experience. A pilot project on 63 patients who were revitalized after cardiac arrests revealed that four of these patients reported encounters with pre-deceased relatives or tunnel journeys. Patrick Tenney, a patient whose heart stopped ten years ago, vividly recalls, "It was beautiful, one of the most wonderful things I've ever seen. I floated or walked down the tunnel, moved into another tunnel -- it wasn't very long -- and I stood there and saw a huge mass of color." Dr. Parnia is hopeful that the study will help the medical community and society to make a more informed decision about euthanasia. BBC Radio 4 reports and an opinion poll with 1000 participants revealed that 10% of people have had an "out of body experience."

"The Quiet Hill-Station" Top 5 Page for this destination Mussoorie by lachydragon
Mussoorie Travel Guide: 49 reviews and 213 photos
Mussoorie sits in the Himalayan foothills in the Garhwal Region of the new-ish state of Uttaranchal in Northern India. It is one of the lesser-known hillstations - places where the British Raj (used to cooler climes) would retreat to during the sweltering heat and humidity of the Indian Plains.
Mussoorie has the hallmarks of a hill-sation, a vehicle free central mall which lends itself to prommenading, horse-rides and a cable car which will take you up to the higer ridges of the mountains where yo;u ;can get views of the mighty mighty Himalayas off in the distance.
I only had a day in Mussoorie as a side-trip from my Hindi classes in Dehradun, I wished I had been able to return up there again in my stay in Dehradun but other trips to Rishikesh and Haridwar got in the way - there's always next time I suppose!
As for my heading 'Shimla's little brother' well, my impression was on visiting both places that Mussoorie was the undiscovered and comparatively under-developed (in terms of vast accommodation complexes etc) hill station, and was perhaps happy to enjoy that niche status.
- In a nutshell:Escape to the mountains, without too much hype.

Hey your page is actually great and informative. In India pollution control is very effective for new cars but for govt vehicle and buses it is perhaps a bit relaxed. At least for hills it has to be smog free! You could have stayed longer!
If you wish to 'get off the beaten path' of Mussoorie,head out toward the Tibetan Community, on the northern side of Mussoorie. Better Still go up the Valley to George Everest Hill Camp & Don't waste your time on Kempty Falls!
Lachy you are so lucky you studied Hindi in 2004. I did a year in 1991 and our class went to ... wait for it ... Lucknow! I bowed out. Had it been Dehradun, I might have actually gone. Your India pages are great - thanks for the great pics & descriptions.

Home page - World Report
President Rafael Correa proposed a new communication law in 2009 with the aim of ensuring a fairer distribution of broadcast frequencies among community media, state-owned media and privately-owned media, with each getting a third. Although submitted to the National Assembly three years ago and debated several times since then, it has yet to be adopted. Some sections of the bill, such as those regulating content and the status of journalists, continue to be controversial. The provisions for assigning frequencies and overseeing their use also need to be completely overhauled to ensure acceptable implementation.
The government has invested a great deal in media, especially TV, amid considerable tension with the privately-owned media, which enjoyed a near-monopoly before Correa became president. A national TV station, Ecuador TV, has been created and Radio Nacional has been revived. The news agency Andes and two online newspapers, El Ciudadano and El Telégrafo, have been added to the ranks of the state media, while a dozen privately-owned media, including Gama TV and TC Televisión, have been turned into pro-government media after going bankrupt and being seized by the state.
"Cadenas" (government announcements that must be carried by all the broadcast media) and "enlaces" (presidential addresses that that broadcast media are strongly advised to carry on Saturdays, even if this is not obligatory) provide Correa with a tool for directly confronting privately-owned media that criticize his government. He attacked Gustavo Cortez, the editor of the daily El Universo, in four "enlaces" in July 2012. César Ricaurte, the head of the free speech NGO Fundamedios, was the target of the president's verbal onslaughts the previous month.
The tension is unfortunately not limited to verbal exchanges. At the president's request, legal proceedings were brought in 2011 against two journalists who wrote a book called "Big Brother" about his elder brother, Fabricio Correa, and against three of El Universo's directors over an insulting editorial. El Universo's directors received a presidential pardon in February 2012 but defamation and insult continue to be punishable by imprisonment.
The president's personal attacks on opposition figures have begun to be accompanied by retaliatory measures against media critical of the government such as Radio Morena and the magazine Vanguardia. More than a dozen have been closed so far in 2012 without being able to exercise all their possibilities of appeal.
Two journalists have been killed since the start of 2012 but in neither case has a link with the victim's work so far been established. The evidence that one of the victims, Byron Baldeón, had provided about a theft led to the arrest of three police officers.

The hardest parts of this Sporcle quiz:
- Blanking on the super easy one that you can't quite put a name on;
- Negro Leaguers, and feeling sort of ashamed you don't know many beyond the obvious half-dozen or so;
- Not cheating when you run out and still have eight minutes on the clock and it seems almost justified to go look on the Internet for more because really, you do know them, you're just forgetting. Don't cheat! You'll feel better for not cheating.
I got 104.

Hi dribbble people. This is just a warm-up for my brain. Animation sometimes helps to understand how to better present graphics on screen. Sometimes you need not just to pile a number of colored rectangles and pieces of text, but present the data in a way to draw attention to the main things and to tone down the minor stuff.
