Another Tough Outing for WVU Men
January 27, 2013
STILLWATER, Okla. — Told he needed to change his jersey number right in the middle of the season, Oklahoma State freshman Phil Forte wasn't even given an option....
The problem(s) at WVU lies directly with our coaching staff. Huggins is an alcoholic who has lost complete control of his team. He did ok with Beilein's recruits, but had since done nothing with his own. Holgorsen is an egotist who cannot be told anything - it's his way or the highway... Oliver Luck needs to take control and get these problems corralled before its too late.

May be this help you http://www.cartographersguild.com/tu...dbuilding.html
Hopefully this is in the right place...
When you create a map for a new world, where and how do you start? I've heard some people try and create plate tectonics to make a more realistic world. Others just dive right in and create. I'm curious about the processes ya'll used to create your world. ^.^
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."-Confucius
Old map and Historic map
I think this might get more attention in the General thread so I'll move it over there.
Some folks get into the plates which is cool. I usually start out with my basic land mass shapes and go from there. I do try to make things that make some sense because that makes things more believable but I don't personally get all that much out of plate tectonics and whatnot. Since I've mostly been making fantasy maps I'm not overly concerned with realities although I do aim for plausable. If I really was concerned I'd get into tectonics but I'm here for the art, not so much the math.
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden
* Rivengard * My Finished Maps * My Challenge Maps * My deviantArt
My starting points usually involve cultures/races/situations and their interactions. Once I have a general idea of the cultures, I think about what type of geography and climate is best suited to them and start mapping from there. Sometimes I'll have an idea about some unique or odd geographical feature (like a huge archipelago or a massive impassable mountain range), and I'll throw that in at an early stage, maybe even start the map with that feature and build out from it.
I'm not an authenticist when it comes to plate tectonics, etc. I try to hold true to actual physical principles, but being super nit-picky takes a lot of the fun out of it for me. Not that there's anything wrong with being exacting as far as your realistic-ness goes, it's just not how I roll.
In the end, it comes down to what feels right for YOU. My advice is to try creating worlds in a variety of ways and see which sticks for you. You can go extreme-top-down, i.e. creating a solar system-->planet-->geology/geologic history/plate tectonics-->weather/climate--> etc, etc, etc, or you can go the opposite way, starting with a single city or kingdom and building up from there, or some combinations of the two (that's where I tend to fall most of the time).
That link that Amber provided is full of great info, and I've found this and this and this to be useful.
I'm an engineer. This sequence could be useful in organizing your thoughts and actions.
Requirements -- what do you want this world FOR? Background for a novel? Setting for a game? Steampunk zombie battles would differ from medieval geofiction, which would differ from straight D&D or Live Action Barsoomian Diplomacy-Martial Arts Since this is not business but pleasure, include what we call Desirements too: if you always wanted to make up stories about jungle adventures, go ahead and say "need jungles". Fascinated by ships? Then say "plenty of seaborne trade & warfare".
Specifications -- if the first was "why" , this is "what". How much land vs. water (vs. phaseless void.. Don't leave out stuff you want, tempered by your desire for realism/ plausibility).Size? Climates? Inhabitants? History? Terrain? If you have ideas that will call for multiple Amazon-size rivers, that'll influence choices later, so state such up front. Sky? A moon larger than earth's will cause certain effects in subsequent steps.
Requirements affect specifications. If the game you run is land bound exploring, regardless of any desire for ships, you'll need decent-sized landmasses too.
Architecture -- what does it fit into? D&D rules? GURPS? Novel #1 on an adjacent planet? Laws of physics (which I'd suggest you stick to reality with: it 's tough to vary much and stay plausible. How does it contribute to other worlds/ lands/ series. You could put physical parameters here or back in specs: will you be printing it out wall-sized? Modeling it 3d for tabletop miniature play?
Design -- here's where you can delve into tectonics, climatology, geology, and the like. Decide by here whether you'll use software or physical tools you already know, or whether you want to try something new. Run through some tutorials if you need to. Shove some landmasses around, difference some clouds, or wiggle some inked lines into place. Push buttons and set parameters in Fractal Terrains, Wilbur, what-have-you.
implementation -- if you want to differentiate between this and design, , maybe design is roughing things in and experimenting, while this could be the drawing and lettering. Of course some people think visually, and have been drawing and sketching since the requirements phase. If you let a computer generate stuff for you, tweak it to mesh with your aims & goals.
You HAVE been showing us these steps , yes? Best way to gather helpful criticism, is to. " work out loud" in a Work-In-Progress thread.
Pay some attention here (all steps really) to use ability/ reusability/ maintenance. If various fellow gamemasters rename adjoining territory, how much effort will it be to mod your maps to keep up with them?
Test and Debugging. Think of these as making whatever changes turn up from the review of your maps in these forums.
Does that help any, to see a process laid out?
Last edited by jbgibson; 12-07-2012 at 02:42 AM.
I usually start with the story, much like Diamond mentioned above. I usually start with races,culture, history (how was the world created). From that part I try to make out some sketches of the world, landmass, climate etc. I usually try to make my worlds as realistic as possible, but without to much calculation. I don't really care about tectonic plates and stuff like that. But I try to get rivers right and I try to place terrain in places that look natural. When I'm done with the actual map, continents and oceans, I try to find good spots where civilization might have started out. I then place in cities and build out from that, adding countries etc.
In the end I hopefully have a map that looks quite convincing
My finished maps
Mapping Worlds (My blog about mapping)
Imaginary maps (My facbook page devoted to mapping)
Thanks guys! I've tried building my world about 3 times now, and started over from scratch because I get overwhelmed or don't like this one little detail. The links really help too. ^.^
I'm building a world for my fantasy story (only just started, I wrote it last month for NaNoWriMo) and I'm just trying to make it seem as realistic as possible.
jbgibson -- thank you for the list! I'm an engineer too--well, an engineering student. But the organization really helps me with a starting point!

The warm weather may feel nice, but if you plan on doing any kind of yard work this weekend the North Carolina Forest Service is encouraging residents not to burn yard debris because strong winds mixed with low humidity could cause a small debris fire to quickly become an out of control blaze.
Debris burning is the number one cause of wild fires in Pitt county and Mike Blake with the North Carolina Forest Service says so far this year, nearly 5,000 acres across the state have been burned in wildfires. Thursday afternoon the Forest Service received a call about a grass fire near County Home Road in Greenville.
"On windy days, such as today, we encourage landowners to wait to burn on a day when the wind is calmer and the humidity is not as low," said Blake Thursday.
A burn ban has not been issued for any part of eastern carolina. Blake says this is merely a word of caution to those who plan on doing any kind of burning over the weekend.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- College costs leave plenty of students in debt nowadays and what you choose to study can make a big difference in how that education pays off.
According to the "Center on Education and the Workforce" at Georgetown University, the worst college major is Anthropology or Archeology.
The University based its study on low earnings and initial unemployment rates.
Film, Video and Photographic Arts, Fine Arts, Philosophy and Religious Studies, and Liberal Arts round out the top five.

Gload traded to Marlins
This just in — the Royals have dealt first baseman/outfielder Ross Gload and cash considerations to the Florida Marlins for a player to be named. Gload had been with the Royals for the last two seasons. He drove in a career high 51 runs in 2007.
Ross now has the chance to play for the club that drafted him. Florida selected Gload in the 13th round of the 1997 June draft before trading him to the Cubs in 2000.
We wish Ross the best as he returns to the National League!

Im training to take the PAST test for the USAF and Im looking for some fins to do some lap swimming in a pool. How do I size them? What are the best ones to buy for rec swimming?
Split fins will offer you the best performance and easiest kick while still mimicking a traditional flutter kick used by swimmers. The only problem with that is if you are going to be doing your swim without fins as the test requires you won't be getting any benefit in terms of fitness training from the split fin. The ease of propulsion when using a pair of split fins will totally negate any fitness training you may receive by swimming. We do offer a few more traditional swim training fins that would be a great deal more beneficial to you. You can find them at: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-599/Swimming-Swim-Goggles--Fins-and-Snorkels.html
I found these fins for $51.96 elsewhere. Would I be able to get a price match? The link is below. http://www.onlinescuba.com/Oceanic-Scuba-Diving-Vortex-V-6-Full-Foot-Fins-Black-Large-Clearance-Item-P14384.aspx Thank you

Hello, Tara if you go to: http://www.scuba.com/shop/packages.asp_type_Snorkel_Package_Snorkel. It will be the third package down on the list.
My son wears a size 6 (kids-he is 12 years old) shoe. What size fin should I purchase for him
IST Sea Diver Snorkel Fins are a good choice for kids. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-21/013910/IST-Sea-Diver-Snorkel-Fins.html
Hello, I wear size 12 running shoes and size 11.5 dress shoes. Im interested in fins I can use for occasional snorkeling and recreational open water diving. Would you recommend these fins or something with an adjustable strap? Also, should I buy fin socks for these Vortex V-6s? Thank you!!
I have Multiple Sclerosis and my old fins (probably fifteen years old and just standard kind of fins) caused my legs and feet to really cramp up. Can you recommend fins that are easier on the muscles that might reduce/eliminate cramping? (We only go on a snorkeling vacation every few years.) Thanks
I wear booties with my old fins (with straps on the back) because we snorkel in Kona and have to deal with lava rock. Will these fins work with booties? Thanks.
Can you suggest a fin that I can wear with rubber sole booties that will also reduce muscle cramping?
The Akona Caicos Fins will be a good choice. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-20/012214/Akona-Caicos-Dive-Fins.html
VROOOM! The Vortex V6 is for the warm-water diver, snorkeler, or free-diver that wants maximum power generation, response, and acceleration out of every single turn. The V-6 is extremely lightweight, yet delivers greater speed and efficiency than most open heel fins.
Provides more speed and power than larger open-heel paddle fins with significantly less effort
Small size and light weight is ideal for travel
Evaprene composite material for increased performance and long life
Comfortable rubber foot pocket in a wide range of sizes
I've been a split fin user literally since the day they hit the stores. As a huge fan of Nature's Wing's innovation I can't think of any reason to not use a pair, and over the years have disproven every single argument against split fins that has come down the pike. The only thing I really haven't enjoyed about my trusty fins has been their weight out of the water. Now-a-days with the airlines getting their shorts all in a wad over weight restrictions and such, saving a few pounds in our luggage is more important than ever.
That's where the V-6 Full Foot Fins come into play. Light weight and smaller than my open heel fins, they pack very easily. In fact, I've put them in my carry-on a few times on trips that I was not checking a bag. But that is the only place these fins seem to come up "short" in comparison. The foot pocket fits comfortably with or without a fin sock, and the performance is exactly what you hope to get out of a split fin. They kick easily, helping you to avoid leg cramps, offer you great control in the water and give you the chance to relax and enjoy your dive or snorkeling outing with ease and comfort. Like any good split fin they zoom into action with very little effort on your part when you need them to, allowing you to hurry over to see that exciting fish or animal before it gets away!
Scuba or snorkeling, these light weight fins are the only way to go if you are planning on enjoying a warm water trip!

Editor's Summary
With research in demand for innumerable applications to societys challenges, the Research Data Alliance (RDA) was formed to create and implement a unified data infrastructure. Established in March 2013, the alliance is directed toward establishing a framework to serve social and technical research needs at the local and global levels. The RDA brings together a community of stakeholders to guide the organization as it evolves and align participants diverse perspectives, striving for consensus, harmonization and an open community. Its structure features organizational and technical advisory boards, interest groups, shorter term working groups and an elected council to steer the alliance. With 700 members representing the academic, public and private sectors across 44 countries, the RDA seeks support from researchers, data managers, funding agencies and governments to promote the strategic and effective use of research data.

The Research Data Alliance: Implementing the Technology, Practice and Connections of a Data Infrastructure
by Mark A. Parsons and Francine Berman
All of societys grand challenges be it addressing rapid climate change, curing cancer and other diseases, providing food and water for more than seven billion people, understanding the origins of the universe or the mind all of them require diverse and sometimes very large data to be shared and integrated across cultures, scales and technologies. This task requires a new form and new conception of infrastructure. The Research Data Alliance (RDA) is creating and implementing this new data infrastructure. It is building the connections that make data work across social and technical barriers.
RDA launched in March 2013 as an international alliance of researchers, data scientists and organizations to build these connections and the infrastructure to accelerate data-driven innovation. RDA facilitates research data sharing, use, reuse, discoverability and standards harmonization through the development and adoption of technologies, policy, practice, standards and other deliverables. Our vision is researchers around the world sharing and using research data without barriers.
The Challenge of Creating a Data Infrastructure
Infrastructure is hard to define. We dont usually recognize it until its gone. When its there and functioning, we tend to take it for granted we flip the switch and the lights come on. It is only when it stops working that the full complexity of the infrastructure is revealed. As such, it can be very difficult, if not impossible, to define new emerging infrastructure.
We may be able to plan out a vision of the physical infrastructure, but things never play out according to plan. Inevitable tensions and complex dynamics emerge. For example, it was one thing to design an orderly interstate highway system with even-numbered roads running east-west, odd-numbered roads running north-south and three-digit-numbered roads as connecters and bypasses. It was quite another thing to deal with how interstates altered U.S. culture by promoting the growth of suburbs and fast-food chains while undermining other, often more efficient, transportation schemes.
Star and Ruhleder take a holistic and realistic view of infrastructure [1]. They argue convincingly that infrastructure is better viewed as a body of complex social, technical and sociotechnical relationships. They describe eight attributes that characterize infrastructure and ask not
what is infrastructure but rather when is infrastructure. Infrastructure is something that emerges for people in practice, connected to activities and structures (p.112). Edwards et al take this view a step further in their report,
Understanding Infrastructure: Dynamics, Tensions, and Design [2]. They show how we can arrange these eight attributes on technical/social and global/local axes (Figure 1.). The point is that we should not view the creation of infrastructure as a technical (or social) problem, but rather that we should decide whether we need social or technical, global or local
solutions (or both) to infrastructural problems. It is in this dynamic space, dancing between the social and technical and between the global and local, that RDA works and tries to make an impact.
Figure 1. Illustration of the attributes of infrastructure as distributions along technical/social and global/local axes, showing the dynamic, iterative space where RDA operates. Based on a figure from F. Millerand in Edwards et al [2] derived from Star and Ruhleder [1].
Edwards et al and the general field of infrastructure studies (for example, Bowker et al [3]) show that there are multiple things happening at once when we are designing a data infrastructure. We simultaneously need to enable distributed collaborative work, engineer changes in the organization of research, such as rewarding data sharing, and enable interdisciplinary collaboration and data sharing. This work is largely social and organizational, but system designers often do not recognize these dimensions of their work practice. A central conclusion of Edwards et al is that the necessary data infrastructure will not be built from the center with a single design. Instead, it will be built from the ground up and in modular units.
Edwards et al further argue that infrastructures become ubiquitous, accessible, reliable and transparent as they mature (p. i). They go through a staged evolution characterized initially by deliberate design of targeted technical services. Then technology transfer and adaptations lead to variations on the original design and the development of competing systems. Finally, a consolidation process occurs, in which systems link into networks and networks link into internetworks. This last phase is the crucial, make-or-break phase of infrastructure development. Arguably, the data infrastructure is beginning to enter this phase. It is also at this level where infrastructural tensions and conflicts are often most pronounced. Researchers can have both very proprietary and highly variable attitudes toward data. How and why research data are collected can be very personal, while the dataset itself can also serve as a public good. Data may be physical samples or output from a model. They may be numeric or textual, quantitative or qualitative, an intermediate outcome or a final product. Aligning and realigning these many perspectives is a major challenge and a primary function of RDA.
The RDA Solution
This theoretical examination of how infrastructure is created is illuminating, but it only takes us so far. How does it manifest itself into actual implementation? That is the challenge of RDA.
We take a community-based approach that seeks to create the modular units of infrastructure that interconnect over time, and we do it in an environment guided by common principles that encourage harmonization. We also recognize that the final consolidation phase of infrastructure creation is typically characterized by gateways, brokers or intermediaries that allow dissimilar systems to interconnect. These gateways are not only technologies, but are often a technical solution combined with one or more social choices like the adoption or adaptation of a standard [2]. We, therefore, focus on adoption and implementation of the tools, code, best practices, standards and so forth that are created.
RDA Organization
The overall RDA organizational structure is outlined in Figure 2. The goal is to create the sort of adaptive, responsive environment that helps us avoid the negative path dependence that new infrastructures often encounter and address the critical unresolved problems that impede overall progress.
Figure 2. Currently proposed RDA organizational structure.
RDA membership is open to anyone who subscribes to the RDA Guiding Principles:
- Openness Membership is open. RDA community meetings and processes are open, and the deliverables of RDA working groups will be publicly disseminated.
- Consensus RDA advances by achieving consensus among its membership. RDA processes and procedures include appropriate mechanisms to resolve conflicts.
- Balance RDA seeks to promote balanced representation of its membership and stakeholder communities.
- Harmonization RDA works to achieve harmonization across data standards, policies, technologies, infrastructure and communities.
- Community-driven RDA is a public, community-driven body comprising volunteer members and organizations.
- Non-profit RDA does not promote, endorse or sell commercial products, technologies or services.
Data, research and technology organizations may also join RDA as organizational members with voting privileges on an Organizational Advisory Board or as more informal affiliates.
RDA members form short-term, very highly focused working groups that make up the heart of RDA. Working groups conduct very specific, 12-18 month efforts that implement specific tools, code, best practices, standards and so forth at multiple institutions. Furthermore, to encourage harmonization and balanced choices, working groups produce detailed case statements that undergo extensive community and technical reviews before they begin. The short timeframe demands a focused, modular approach.
It takes time and community conversation to define the specific modular work conducted by working groups, especially given their short duration. Therefore, RDA also recognizes interest groups that have a broader scope and longer life. Interest groups work to define common issues and interests that ultimately lead to the creation of more focused working groups. Creating an interest group is a simple process of preparing a short charter.
A 12-member Technical Advisory Board, elected by the membership, is responsible for the overall technical direction of RDA. They also review working group case statements and ensure that the proposed approaches are appropriate, technically viable and not just the pet project of a few people.
An elected council of nine senior, well-respected leaders or statespersons maintains the overall vision for RDA. The council reviews working group case statements and public comments on the case statements. They provide an objective overview that gauges overall community consensus and ensures the proposed working group adheres to RDA principles and has a solid adoption plan demonstrating that they are making appropriate social as well as technical choices. Council also reviews interest group charters and ensures that they are within scope of RDA and not conflicting with other efforts.
The globally distributed Secretariat provides coordination and administrative leadership. They help coordinate the operations of the council, boards and working and interest groups, provide overall communications and generally act as the face of RDA.
The RDA Colloquium (RDAC), consisting of representatives from governmental funding agencies, acts as an international steering committee that has provided initial funding support and organizational support for RDA.
A final, critical component is the RDA plenary. Plenary meetings are held every six months and allow the community to come together to conduct business and make progress on their plans and deliverables. The plenary is a forum to show the work of RDA, receive feedback from the broader research and policy communities and to continue to define and build relationships with initiatives and organizations that share the RDA vision.
Current Status and Plans
In this initial start-up phase, the organization and efforts of the RDA have been sponsored by the Research Data Alliance Colloquium (RDAC). RDAC currently consists of government agencies from the United States, the European Commission and Australia. It is likely to expand beyond those countries. RDAC appointed an initial organizing group and is appointing the initial council (currently six members and expanding to nine), but future council members will be elected by the membership as the terms of current members end. The organizing group has spun off several volunteer task forces to organize the rest of the RDA structure in collaboration with the Secretariat and council. The council has appointed an interim Technical Advisory Board of six people. The remaining six members of the board will be elected by the membership later this year. Thereafter, one-third of the board will be replaced in annual elections. A task force, collaborating with RDAC and council, is working to define organizational membership and the corresponding Organizational Advisory Board. A proposal should be out for community comment later this summer.
Despite the nascent structure of RDA, it is growing quickly. Roughly 700 members from 44 countries span all sectors, with 61% of the participants from academia, 11% from the public sector, 21% from the private sector and 8% undetermined. Several working groups have been recognized, and more than a dozen interest groups have formed. The number of working and interest groups continues to grow rapidly. As is their nature, working groups are focused and may be even a bit esoteric. Current working groups are working on specific details like agreeing on core foundational terminology, registering different types of data and identifiers and defining common computer actionable rules. Current interest groups are, of course, more broad-ranging; they address diverse topics including community engagement, legal issues around data sharing, repository certification, agricultural data interoperability and more. A current and complete list can be found at http://rd-alliance.org.
RDA officially launched in March 2013 at the first plenary in Gothenburg, Sweden. Some 240 participants from 31 countries attended. The second plenary will be in Washington, D.C. September 16-18, 2013, and attendance may top 400. The third plenary is likely to be in Europe again. A bidding process is being established for nations and organizations to host further plenaries.
The Research Data Alliance has emerged at a critical time when society is facing many complex problems requiring new and creative uses of diverse data. RDA has garnered the attention of senior researchers, data practitioners, funding agencies and government ministers not only for its timely emergence, but also for its pragmatic approach rooted in theory but focused on getting things done. It is an exciting time to be engaged in information science and technology. We encourage you to join RDA and get involved with its working groups and other structures.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Trigger Shifters in stock than that.View Similar Products
SRAM X0 Silver 2x10 Trigger Shifters $0.00
The SRAM X0 Silver 2x10 Trigger Shifters adds some old school shine to your handlebars. Where the standard X0 shifters have a black housing, these are polished aluminum. They've been designed to coordinate specifically with two front chainrings and ten cogs out back. Otherwise, the X0 2x10 Trigger Shifters offer the same reliable and effortless shifting function you've always known.
Looks aside, the real test is the shifting. And it's incredible -- so smooth, so easy. It's remarkable how much smoother these shifters feel than their X-9 counterparts. This is what makes them such a worthy upgrade. The Exact Actuation simplifies derailleur setup and ensures precise shifting from the word go. The best part is that it stays that way. The 1:1 cable pull ratio is less sensitive to friction in the housing system. The lever position can be adjusted for finger length or push preference. They're also Matchmaker-X compatible if you appreciate a clean handlebar arrangement.
The SRAM X0 Silver 2x10 Trigger Shifters is designed to work with all SRAM mountain double front and 10-speed rear derailleurs. Cable replacement is easy. Simply pop off the polished top cover, pull out the old cable, thread in the new one, and take off -- easy as a summer breeze. If you can elect to take the plunge for X0 Shifters, you won't be disappointed.

Cyclist of the Month – New Team Member Meredith
Aude: Where are you from?
Meredith: I am originally from the beautiful Central Coast of California. I first moved to Rotterdam in December 2010, when I just finished urban planning studies at UC Berkeley, and my husband was accepted to graduate school at Erasmus. Now we live in Amsterdam, since July '12, and totally love it here.
Aude: How do find living in Amsterdam?
Meredith: Of course I dearly miss our friends and family, but our Dutch life is easy to love. I have totally fallen for this city; there's always something to see, a new adventure every day, a gezellig café to try, and of course, riding a bicycle is so easy and so chic. On the side, I have my own photo blog about our life and travels here called Dutch Pancake.
Aude: Tell us the story about your bike.
Meredith: It was love at first site. I named her Rosa. She is a second-hand Batavus Old Dutch from a bike shop in the Pijp. I added the bike shelf thingie and a second-hand basket from my favorite vintage store on Vijzelstraat.
Aude: How did you find us and why?
Meredith: I met the guy behind Copenhagen Cycle Chic at an event at the Pakhuis and he introduced me to Joni. As an urban planner and cycling fiend (and photography enthusiast), it just seemed natural to be a part of this cycle chic movement. Any way I can promote cycling to the world–I'm in!
Aude: Well, welcome! We're glad to have you join us!

Nassau police commissioner defends 'POP cop' reassignments
Elmont residents come out to express concerns on crime
1 2 3 Next page >
The plan to reassign 45 of the county police department's plainclothes officers — including 12 dedicated to fighting gang violence — to patrol duty until next year drew the ire of Democratic legislators when it was announced late last month. Last week, many Elmont residents expressed their outrage over the plan that is designed to save the taxpayers $4.4 million in overtime costs.
At a community meeting at Elmont Library on June 3 hosted by county Legislator Carrie Solages, an Elmont Democrat, dozens of community members voiced their concerns about the rising instances of crime and gang-related violence in their neighborhoods. Acting Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter, who also attended the meeting and answered residents' questions, said that crime is down in Nassau County.
"We have the distinction of being the safest large community in America," he said. "This time in 2012 versus this time in 2014, crime is down 20 percent. That's the major index crimes, which are most concerning to people."
Krumpter also said that the transfer of Problem-Oriented Police officers — 'POP' cops — was both temporary and necessary, and that there are officers who will continue to perform plainclothes investigations.
"I'm not going to tell you that the 'POP cops' don't add value," Krumpter said. "It's one of the most difficult decisions to make because they do add value, and they have such a great relationship with the community. Cuts are never easy. But what is being ignored is that we have approximately 150-plus plainclothes officers that do that street-type enforcement. This is a temporary order. [It] expires on Dec. 31."
Solages said that the plan violates a contractual agreement that was made when some of the county's police precincts were consolidated nearly two years ago.

"I was not going to order from wedding paper divas because it was a little more expensive than other sites. But I kept coming back to this design. It matched our wedding theme and colors perfectly and it was so stunning. I paid extra for the rounded corners, which was worth it because it made the invitation look so classy. I love love love this suite. I'm beyond impressed, this was well worth the money. My order even arrived early! I would definitely recommend wedding paper divas to anyone getting married."
"Text has enough flourish while still being easily readable - and the writing was not too small, which was a problem with other invites we had considered! Nice thick paper, back design did not show through to the front. Tree image was very clear, not blurry or smudged. Love this design!"
"Everything about this invitation was beautiful! The colors (I choose the blue and green) were perfect and had a watercolored appearance. The quality of the paper was much better than I expected as was the lettering and customer service."
"The paper is fantastic- very nice and thick, not cheap feeling at all. The leaves look hand painted. The whole design is really really nice- it's even more beautiful in person. I was more than impressed. I received my invitations faster than expected - printing and shipping was FAST. Much faster than the time Wedding Paper Divas had estimated- which I appreciated. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this invitation along with this wonderful, helpful company."
"These invites are perfect. Simple and beautiful and really well made. The print is nice looking and the paper is very sturdy! So happy with them! Perfect with the Togetherness In Love RSVPs!"

I got my adapter today, too. Plugged it in and nothing happened. How long did you have to wait before it was detected? What version of software does your Hopper have? I'm at "S222 NACB 10/10/2012, 4:30AM"
You'll need S229. My receivers have S229. It detected the adapter immediately. You'll hopefully be getting the new software anywhere between tonight and 2 weeks from now.

Comments about Acasis USB Dual External Drive Enclosure w/USB Hub - Supports 5.25'' Slim SATA Optical Drive & 2.5'' SATA HDD up to 640GB:
Bought this initially to use old HDD and DVD RW from scrapped laptop. Functions perfectly as a DVD/ CD burner. As an external HDD it is great too! Light, and easily portable!The external power is great too as it won't draw power from the USB port.The one fault is the HDD bay should have had a caddy> It just feel like it's floating, which is the case, and may come loose.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

HD ok, but no CD ROM
By Chris
from OK
I got this to use as a desktop CD Rom mainly. My CPU sits out of the way, and it isn't easy to get to the CD ROM. I was hoping to install a CDRW into it, but I think there is something faulty with the Power to the CD. doesn't work... just clicks and keeps doing the USB installed, uninstalled routine over and over and over. needs a revamp on the power issue.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I use this little gadget on ALL my usb enabled stuff including the BluRay player, Android tablet and just about anything apple. I have the sata/ide version rather than the sata only so any old laptop CDROM/DVD+RW works in it. I am using it primarily to store my movies on right now with a 750gig laptop sata drive. The case seems a little cheap and light, but trust me it's anything but cheap.

Playing favorites?
Back to School | The good news: a religious school finally received approval for expansion in Virginia; the bad news: it's a controversial Islamic school
"Playing favorites?" Continued...
FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va.-Police reinforcements circled on bicycles outside the Fairfax County, Va., government building as voices and anger mounted inside on a July evening. A land use hearing turned into a four-hour escalation of frustrations over the expansion of a local Islamic school, located in the outskirts of Washington. Senior citizens complained about traffic, but others complained about a school they believe to be training students in extremist Islam, drawing clucks of disapproval from Muslim women in the room in headscarves.
The Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA) is a private school run by the Saudi government and criticized for teaching Wahhabism, a violent sect of Islam that follows Shariah law. Saudi government-issued textbooks at one point taught that killing adulterers and apostates was acceptable, prompting the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) to condemn the curriculum as failing to meet "international human rights norms." Since then, the curriculum has been revised, eliminating most of the offensive passages according to a commissioner from USCIRF who has reviewed it.
The school is raising "the next generation of terrorists," bellowed James Lafferty of the Virginia Anti-Shariah Task Force at the hearing. Others condemned the school-goers as "domestic enemies."
A Muslim woman, Dreiman Al-Bashrawi, yelled back at the school's opponents, "They are the real threat!" drawing cheers. The bemused supervisors drifted in and out to get sodas and snacks. The meeting drew to a close with little comment from the supervisors.
At the beginning of August, the board approved ISA's expansion, something it has rarely done for private schools and churches in the past. ISA sits on the former campus of Fairfax Christian School, and when that school tried to get the same approval for expansion more than 25 years ago, the board turned down the request because of "ecological concerns."
"What has changed in the previous quarter century that the ecological system is just fine?" asked Denise Lee of Woodbridge, Va. at the hearing. "There is a double standard taking place here."
But Fairfax Christian School's director Jo Thoburn was glad to hear the news about ISA. "Any improved zoning for a private school or church is a good thing," said Thoburn. "I would like to have the treatment the Saudis got."
The school has been at the forefront among religious institutions to duel with the county on land use issues, and more often than not, lose. Fairfax County is booming with commercial development, which some church and private school leaders say receives preferential treatment.
Congress addressed the problem of zoning discrimination against religious institutions in a law passed in 2000-the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, which provides more legal protection for religious groups in zoning battles. No government may impose "a land use regulation in a manner that imposes a substantial burden on the religious exercise of a person, including a religious assembly or institution," the law reads, with the exception of a "compelling government interest."
A common confrontation between zoning boards and religious groups involves churches that begin serving food-which often changes the churches' zoning designation to a dining hall, which is only allowed in certain designated zones. CrossRoads United Methodist Church in Phoenix, Ariz., operates a soup kitchen for the homeless. At the beginning of August, the city ordered the church either to quit serving the food or move the meals to another location that fits zoning restrictions.
In Fairfax County, Reston Presbyterian Church filed a request to expand with the Board of Zoning Appeals in December 2007. The board did not approve the project until April 2009 and attached seven pages of conditions for the church to meet, including nearby road improvements and a left-hand turning lane.
The city of Fairfax just reversed a ruling that Truro Church had violated zoning law by serving free meals, after four months of back and forth between lawyers on both sides. The church has been hosting free meals for over 50 years. The mayor of Fairfax along with residents had sent a letter to the city manager complaining about the long line the meals created. Church of the Epiphany in Herndon, Va., had difficulty with county zoning permits too, according to Faith McDonnell of the Institute for Religion and Democracy.
These private schools and churches don't have cash reserves to fight extended legal battles or bring lawsuits under the Religious Land Use Act-but the Saudi government does. The Saudi school, Thoburn said, had to jump through the same zoning hoops as everyone else, but she sensed that the supervisors approved the school in part because they feared religious land use discrimination lawsuits from a wealthy government.
Residents at the hearing accused supervisors of being bought by Saudi money. "The board doesn't make decisions based on fears of being sued," objected board chairman Sharon Bulova. "It's not, 'Who's got the deeper pockets?'" Bulova voted against the Saudi school's expansion because of traffic concerns.
Organizations like the Becket Fund and the Anti-Defamation League have worked with religious institutions to fight these battles in court in the past. Bulova said the county created the position of an ombudsman about 10 years ago to help religious and community organizations navigate the bureaucracy. "A church or a synagogue or a mosque-they're not a developer. They may not be as conversant with the land use process," she said.
Eighty-year-old Bob Thoburn, who started the Fairfax Christian School in 1961, zoomed over its current campus in an earthmover, shuttling brush away from dead trees. He paused and shut off the motor for a moment to talk about his frustration with the county zoning practices. "I've been fighting the battle here for 50 years almost," he said.
After the county turned down Fairfax Christian's request, the school sold its campus to ISA and turned to other properties in the area to house its 500 students. When the school tried to reopen at a nearby 65-acre property, the county refused to issue a permit because the land was zoned for residential use. In the meantime, the school met in various area churches. After about seven years of back and forth with the county, the school finally got a permit for the 28-acre property where it now stands-a permit that limits the student population to 250. Beyond losing half its student body when the school was originally trying to expand, it landed in a historic district, so altering anything on the campus is difficult.
Fair Oaks Church in Fairfax, Va., has encountered similar hostility from the county supervisors-a "nightmarish" experience of "every church and every school that has interaction with the county," said David Stokes, the church's pastor. He said the supervisors' didn't apply the same standards for ISA's expansion. "It's almost a fawning kind of accommodation," he told me. "It's reverse discrimination."
Aside from zoning issues, he too has concerns about what ISA is teaching in its religion classes. The 25-year-old school is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. ISA uses county textbooks for all classes except religion-and those controversial passages have been redacted, according to Nina Shea, a commissioner on USCIRF who has been investigating the school's teaching. But she is still concerned about the silence of the textbooks on the subject of violent jihad.
"Last year they were teaching that it was the most noble act," Shea told me. "The burden is on them to say what they teach about jihad. And they won't answer the phones."
Fairfax Christian's Jo Thoburn says she doesn't want the government to be evaluating private schools' curriculum. "They might not like that we teach creationism here," she said. "That's very bad ground to tread on."
While ISA wouldn't return WORLD's calls, its leaders are in contact with Fairfax Christian, which publicly congratulated the school after the board's approval. The Christian schools and churches know now that it will be harder for the county to say no to them in the future.

When a small mouse or ball won't do, get this large, soft toy for them to really dig into. My cats love it not only for the size and softness, but for the catnip. This is the second one I've ordered, but that's only because I gave my first one away to my son for his cat.

Our cat took to this toy immediately and began playing with it right out of the box. Unlike some toys where he would lose interest after a few days, our cat still likes to play with it, and loves to grab it in both forelegs and kick at it with his hind legs, just as it shows in the photo!

Vulnerabilities Table of Contents
If memory is allocated and not freed the process could continue to consume more and more memory and eventually crash.
- Availability: If an attacker can find the memory leak, an attacker may be able to cause the application to leak quickly and therefore cause the application to crash.
Exposure period
- Requirements specification: The choice could be made to use a language that is not susceptible to these issues.
- Implementation: Many logic errors can lead to this condition. It can be exacerbated by lack of or misuse of mitigating technologies.
- Languages: C, C++, Fortran, Assembly
- Operating platforms: All, although partial preventative measures may be deployed depending on environment.
Required resources
Likelihood of exploit
If a memory leak exists within a program, the longer a program runs, the more it encounters the leak scenario and the larger its memory footprint will become. An attacker could potentially discover that the leak locally or remotely can cause the leak condition rapidly so that the program crashes.
Risk Factors
- Talk about the factors that make this vulnerability likely or unlikely to actually happen
- Discuss the technical impact of a successful exploit of this vulnerability
- Consider the likely [business impacts] of a successful attack
In C:
bar connection(){ foo = malloc(1024); return foo; } endConnection(bar foo){ free(foo); } int main() { while(1) //thread 1 //On a connection foo=connection(); //thread 2 //When the connection ends endConnection(foo) } }
Here the problem is that every time a connection is made, more memory is allocated. So if one just opened up more and more connections, eventually the machine would run out of memory.
Related Attacks

- Pre-design: Use a language or compiler that performs automatic bounds checking.
- Design: Use an abstraction library to abstract away risky APIs. Not a complete solution.
- Pre-design through Build: The Boehm-Demers-Weiser Garbage Collector or valgrind can be used to detect leaks in code. This is not a complete solution as it is not 100% effective.

Morehead, KY (Sports Network) - Taylor Braun led the way with 23 points as the
North Dakota State Bison defeated the Morehead State Eagles, 69-57, at Ellis
Johnson Arena.
Braun was the only Bison (7-2) in double figures and was just one rebound shy
of a double-double. Mike Felt was 3-of-5 from behind the arc, adding nine
points off the bench, while Marshall Bjorklund accounted for eight points and
a game-high 11 rebounds before fouling out.
For the Eagles (4-5), Chad Posthumus was also one rebound shy of a double-
double, scoring 13 points off the bench. Angelo Warner and Devon Atkinson
contributed 14 and 13 points, respectively, in the setback.
The Bison trailed in the first 10 minutes of play, but a 12-0 run halfway
through the frame gave them a 33-19 lead at the break. The hosts made just 8-
of-30 (.267) from the floor and missed all nine attempts beyond the arc over
the first 20 minutes of action.
NDSU opened the second half on another 12-0 run and held the lead for
the remainder of the game, eventually claiming the 12-point victory thanks to
13-of-16 shooting at the free-throw line in the period.
The Bison made 42.3 percent of their shots from the floor and limited the
Eagles to a mere 2-of-17 from three-point range.
