Battlefield Hardline is the first edition of subseries belonging to the Battlefield series of first-person shooters. Unlike the previous section, a major role in creating the game was responsible for the studio Visceral Games – the authors of space survival horror Dead Space – and not, as it was before, the Swedish team EA DICE. Battlefield Hardline abandons the traditional theater of war to the conflict of a different caliber – the police struggle against organized crime. The player takes the role of Nick Mendoza, a young detective from Miami, who embarks on a personal vendetta after the United States, aimed against his former partners, where the prospect of a fast buck drew the path of lawlessness.

The University of Oregon where I live also has a similar ban.
We had two coeds assaulted on the campus over this past weekend by a man fitting the same description. Fortunately, both women were able to successfully fight the man off, and managed to escape, before being kidnapped or raped.
Still, any would-be rapist in our area knows the following:
1) The campus has lots of young women to prey on.
2) They are all unarmed.
No other place in town offers better hunting grounds to these sexual predators. And it is partly the government's fault.

This is a rock and a hard place for any student, and parents of, especially daughters entering college years.
My nephew is attending U of D Mercy here in Detroit, and While the campus is remarkable and well kept, the surounding neighborhood getting to the campus, is an abomination.
They have had Roberries, and the like ON campus but the dean and security feel that as long as they are providing a REASONABLE amount of security, and they themselves FEEL secure, Oh well!

the question i have for the college communications director is "Sir why did the police not stop the man from shooting the student?" The directors argument would then consume itself.
Kind of puts things in perspective on your second amendment rights. Policy is MUCH stronger than the constitution. What the hell is wrong with this picture.
I am one of those school administrator types. I can tell you that I've not met one other administrator on campus that supports concealed carry. Just as in the greater society, there is a stigma about guns that is simpy too difficult to overcome. I wish these students luck, but they have a difficult road ahead.
If you understand, things are just as they are... If you do not understand, things are just as they are....

The other problem is that many universities only have a campus security force, and not an actual police force. So not only are potential victims unarmed, but even the security force that is protecting the campus cannot carry guns either! What can a security guard armed only with chemical mace do against a criminal armed with a handgun?
There is a move here in Oregon, though, to change that, and allow our state universities to have an actual police force on campus.
There are some here, though, that even opposed to doing that!
Although these two attacks last weekend are being used by proponents to help argue in support of implementing a campus police force here.
I think more of it is simply everyday folks who cannot overcome the illogic of guns equal violence. They think the presence of a gun will lead to violence where none would have existed otherwise (the "weapons effect"), that the gun is an actor in itself, not a tool. They ignore the fact that those who would do violence do not care about policy. I think a lot of it is also parents and universities who want to believe that the campus is a bastion of good and right and should be a shelter against the rest of the world; but they end up creating a target-rich environment.
I do not see this happening by action at the campus level...it needs to be addressed by state legislatures. I am not sure they have the will for it either.
"To predict the behavior of ordinary people in advance, you only have to assume that they will always try to escape a disagreeable situation with the smallest possible expenditure of intelligence." Friedrich Nietzsche
The amazing part is that liberals can honestly not make the connection that all of the massacres occur in gun-free zones (schools, post offices, etc.).

We have landed at the Charleston airport and are headed home! Special thanks to the man, Mr. Bowers, and Mrs. Mayberry for picking us up in the bus to take us home!
We are in Miami!
We have just landed in Miami! The Internet at our hotel was down last night and this morning! We will land in South Carolina around 10:30pm! All is well!
Monday, June 29, 2015
Today, we went ATVing (I think is what you would call it...). The group had a blast! Unfortunately, this means our trip is wrapping up! We have experienced God's love in so many ways while being here in Costa Rica! We will begin our journey back tomorrow morning around 9:00am (Costa Rica time) and return home around 10:30 pm (USA time). Again, we ask for your continued prayers as we travel home!
Sunday, June 28, 2015
Today we attended Pastor Minor's church! The church sends their appreciation to our church family as a whole!
Look at the difference turning the lights on makes!
Also, I forgot to say that yesterday the doctor saw 45 people. Our Costa Rican friend, Marta, bought food for a family and milk for their baby that did not have those necessities. Also, the waiter we had at dinner last night knew of the church we were working with and Pastor Minor!

Final day of kids and construction
Today, our CCI family joined us as well as friends' of theirs from a local radio station. It was also our last day of playing with the kids and working on the construction in the church! The construction group has put up 5 new lights and separate switches for sets of lights, both for the church and Minor's house (which is attached to the church)! It was a beautiful moment for everyone when the lights came on! We had our CCI doctor, David, to help the people who came to see him. Along with the doctor, we had Alex, a hair stylist. We had lots of children come back again today to play and learn with us! We began with a lesson and made necklaces with the children. We played soccer, baseball, frisbee, and made up games in the plaza for a few hours. We returned to the church for lunch (rice with vegetables and chicken in a red sauce). Construction continued after lunch and so did playing with the children.
Friday, June 26, 2015
Hace mucho calor! It's very hot!
There was a lot of things happening today! Our group split into two again, construction and kids. The construction group was very productive in getting the electricity almost completed today. Mr. Franks was in the electrical box with a screwdriver (fingers crossed the electricity was off....just kidding Mrs. Franks, it was). They put in four circuit breakers so that lights can be turned off in one place and on in another. For tomorrow, they are set to put in a second meter, so they can be charged less as a church for the electricity. The kids group stared the day off with walking around the local area to evangelize and invite people to join us in our activities today and tomorrow. Everyone in the group made an attempt in Spanish to invite families. Most families were accepting of our invitation and asked clarifying questions. We returned to the church around 12 to eat lunch and get ready for our afternoon activities, which consisted braclets and sweating...I mean playing! As always the kids were fun to play with and we can't wait to play with them again tomorrow! Andres and Marta have come to join us today! We are excited for them to be able to join us again this year!

On the Distinct Political Effects
of Anxiety and Anger
Research concerning emotions has had growing influence on the study of political behavior, producing valuable insights into the emotional underpinnings of political beliefs. George Marcus, Michael MacKuen, and colleagues (1993, 2000) have argued for the centrality of emotion in political decision making. Their theory of affective intelligence focuses on two weakly related dimensions of affect, anxiety and enthusiasm, that have distinct effects on political judgments. In their research, anxiety enhances interest in political matters and inhibits citizen reliance on longstanding political beliefs in arriving at political decisions, whereas enthusiasm influences candidate choice and encourages active interest and involvement in a political campaign. In addition to demonstrating the intricate interconnectedness of affect and cognition, these findings hold important implications for everyday politics. Marcus and colleagues conclude that candidates who engender anxiety cause voters to seek out more information about a campaign, whereas candidates who elicit enthusiasm are more likely to foster active campaign involvement. Their research concerning affective intelligence thus goes beyond a simple demonstration of the political relevance of emotion to underscore the differentiated political effects of specific emotions elicited by political events and candidates.
Evidence of two distinct dimensions of political affect has emerged in other studies of political reasoning (Abelson et al. 1982; Marcus 1988;

The Dead Arm Days
Vazquez Has Had More Than His Share in Recent Weeks
Javier Vazquez is not A.J. Burnett. He does not vacillate from dominant to dreadful from game to game, inning to inning. But his season can be broken down into three distinctly different phases.
For the first month of the season, he was a full-blown project, with a 9.78 ERA through his first five starts. Then came the resurgence, fueled by the return of the deceptive movement on his changeup and fastball. From May 12 to July 26, he went 9-5 with a 3.11 ERA.
And lately, it's been Javy 3.0, batting practice fastball edition, a phase Mr. Vazquez will look to end Saturday when he starts against the Seattle Mariners at Yankee Stadium.
In his last four starts, Mr. Vazquez has allowed 15 earned runs in 20 innings (6.75 ERA), lasting an average of just five innings per start.
In a tight American League East race and with Andy Pettitte out longer than expected with a groin injury, the Yankees can ill-afford for Mr. Vazquez to go into a prolonged funk like he did at the start of the season.
To avoid that, Mr. Vazquez will have to find a way to overcome the arm fatigue that has affected him recently without the benefit of extra rest.
"This is a time of year where everybody has arm fatigue," Yankees pitching coach Dave Eiland said. "This is the time of year where you cut guys' in-between-starts work down, the volume of it. So everybody's going through that right now."
Mr. Vazquez seems to have been affected more than others, though. In his last four starts he has thrown his fastball at an average of 88 mph, according to pitch f/x data on the site TexasLeaguers.com. From May 12 to July 26, he threw the pitch at an average speed of 89.2 mph.
Even on his best days, Mr. Vazquez doesn't overpower hitters. But the movement and deception he thrives on have been missing at times this month.
On Aug. 11 against the Texas Rangers, Mr. Vazquez threw 20 fastballs, and not once did a hitter swing and miss at one. They were whiffing at 6.6% of his fastballs before that game.
And in his last start, it was his changeup, his most deceptive pitch, that failed him. Hitters swung and missed at that pitch 14.8% of the time from May 12 to July 26, but the Tigers didn't miss it once Monday.
"The changeup, whether the arm feels good or not, it's always there," Mr. Vazquez said. "It usually never fails, but once in a while it does, and you have to work through that."
Though fastball velocity is usually the best measure of arm strength, Mr. Eiland said the fatigue Mr. Vazquez is experiencing can affect his other pitches as well.
"It can affect everything," he said. "Once you get a tired arm or a dead arm, your arm slows down a little bit, so not only is your velocity going to drop a little bit, but the crispness and the sharpness of your breaking balls is going to drop a little bit, too."
Without going into specifics, Mr. Eiland said he had Mr. Vazquez make some adjustments to his delivery during a bullpen session Wednesday.
But Mr. Vazquez was reluctant to cut down on his throwing, weightlifting and conditioning.
"I'm a creature of habit," he said. "I'm just trying to work on my location and worry about that more than about the speed on the radar gun."

An editorial published on March 12, "The Bailout of the Century," incorrectly stated that two "other co-owners" of Bank Century fled Indonesia. These "co-owners" are more accurately described as major shareholders. In addition, Rafat Rizvi, one of the major shareholders, does not live in Indonesia, and therefore did not flee that country. Prosecutors in Indonesia allege that Mr. Rizvi engaged in corruption and fraud in his dealings with the bank. Indonesian authorities issued an arrest warrant for Mr. Rizvi, placing him on Interpol's red notice wanted list. Mr. Rizvi, who denies the allegations and has issued a legal challenge to the red notice, has not been arrested by Indonesian authorities.
The Soviet Union tested its first hydrogen bomb in August 1953, five months after the death of Joseph Stalin. A May 5 editorial, "Honest Ahmadinejad," referred to Stalin having the H-bomb.

Scanning question
If this isn't the right forum for this, please tell me and I'll post there.
I'm an amateur photographer and I have a lot of negatives from past 35mm pictures I've taken.
What advantages do you get if you scan in the negatives vs just scanning the developed pictures. I already know that for best results to get a dedicated scanner for negatives, so I'm trying to decide which way to go; get the scanner or just scan in the developed pictures.
This question has not been answered yet.

Let us not, however, flatter ourselves overmuch on account of our human victories over nature. For each such victory nature takes its revenge on us.
Friedrich Engels (1959: 12)
The general approach we have explored is based on two related premises. The first is that the root causes of disaster are found in the historical geography and political economy of places. The second is that disasters occur at the intersection of environmental hazards and vulnerable people, and as such are social products. The hazards may be 'natural', technological, or some mix of factors, but their risks and effects are mediated by prevailing social practices and their material forms in a given place. Peoples' vulnerability to hazards is produced by a combination of elements on different spatial and temporal scales: these include underlying historical factors that shape patterns of social inequalities and settlement patterns, and the more immediate and dynamic aspects of politics, economics, environment, and culture in a place. Vulnerability to hazards is produced and reproduced through the changing nature of people's access to resources and their exposure to risk (Wisner 1993).
As we have reviewed, in the one hundred and fifty years that the state of California has existed, its landscapes and ecosystems have been radically transformed by the forces of capital working in concert with state power in a 'grandiose ecological project' (Harvey 1996: 185). The imbrication of political and economic power, water imperialism, and nearly unchecked urban growth have shaped and reshaped its social and physical landscapes in an ongoing growth dynamic. The natural and technological hazards that work their 'revenges' on California have become an increasingly prominent part of those transformations. A century of real estate speculation supported by local governments and public infrastructure has placed increasing numbers at risk of earthquakes, floods, and fires, and those numbers in turn produce growing pollution and waste disposal problems in the region (Davis 1992). It is then left to public agencies to try to regulate the pollution and promote hazard mitigation that is made necessary by virtually unrestrained private actions (FitzSimmons and Gottlieb 1996).

Beautiful full soundstage
2011 BMW 1 Series
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I purchased these to complete my all Polk 7.1 system. I was apprehensive and nervous to replace my critically acclaimed Aperion Audio Intimus left and right speakers with a more expensive pair of speakers. I'm amazed! I always struggled with the soundstage with my Aperion speakers. I blamed it on my room or equipment. Now I can place individual instruments on the orchestra stage. The stage feels like it is deep and wider than my room. The bass extension is deep on their own without my Polk subwoofer. Male and female opera voices give my goosebumps. I hear sound bouncing around the chamber walls, yet I'm in a heavily damped listening room. How is this possible? What have I been missing?
Pros: Broad wide soundstage. Fantastic voice articulation. Deep bass extension.
Cons: None thus far.

Soy Chorizo Tacos
I know...I know..SOY chorizo?! But yes...these tacos were so tasty and much healthier than their meat counterparts. I've been trying to lay off meat, so I may be posting more meatless recipes. Meatless and dairy-free (a.k.a Vegan) may sound blah, but I'm amazed at the flavors of plant-based food! Plus, they're easier on your body and much healthier for you. Also, the chorizo needs no seasonings--it tastes like the real thing. Give 'em a try!
The Kind Diet cookbook
Soy Chorizo Tacos
1 Tbs olive oil
8 oz vegan chorizo or taco crumbles (found in the tempe and tofu section)
4-6 corn shells (or soft, if you prefer)
1/2 C diced onion
1/2 C chopped tomatoes
1 C tofu sour cream (Tofutti brand)
2/3 C shredded vegan cheese (Rice brand is good)
Prepared salsa
I added diced avocado and chopped fresh cilantro
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over med-high heat (I added the onions at this time and cooked until softened). Add the chorizo or taco crumbles and cook, stirring until heated through, 3-4 mins.
Arrange onions (if you want more), lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, cheese, avocado, salsa and cilantro in bowls. Assemble as you want! Enjoy!

I'm getting started on a small internal web application at work, mostly a proof-of-concept, but we want to treat it like a "real" application. I don't have much experience as a DBA, nor does anyone in my group (it's not particularly important to have one, since it's a PoC).
I was wondering though, if this web app was going public, should we have separate accounts to the DB server for different query types? E.g. have one SQL account for SELECT queries, and another for UPDATE/DELETE? I can't convince myself of any particular advantage to doing so, but I've heard of the technique before so there must be some value.

Lou Reed has sadly passed away at the age of 71. As of yet, no cause of death has been released, but Rolling Stone magazine reported that the "Walk on the Wild Side" rocker underwent a liver transplant in May. We hope he rests in peace.
Olivia Wilde is pregnant! The Rush star and her SNL-alum beau Jason Sudeikis have confirmed that they will welcome their first child together. Wilde tweeted: "WOW. You guys are so awesome. So kind. Thank you thank you thank you! PS. Babies eat mostly salsa right?" Congratulations to the beautiful couple!
And in other beautiful baby news: Only the best for Royal Baby George! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge reportedly treated the little one to a Silver Cross stroller, retailing at $2,350. Well, he is a Prince.
While he may be good at keeping his eye on the ball, David Beckham is apparently not so good at keeping his eye on the road. The former soccer star got into a car accident over the weekend while leaving his Beverly Hills home with son Brooklyn. Fortunately no one was hurt. Oops and hurray for huge giant cars.
Tom Hardy has been cast as Elton John in the upcoming biopic Rocketman. We're gonna say that this is a slightly different role to his terrifying Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, but Hardy continues to impress with his diverse and well-executed roles.
And finally the weekend Box Office News: Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa took the top spot with $32 million knocking Gravity into second with $20.3 million and Captain Phillips into a solid third with $11.8 million. Not such great news for The Counselor, which debuted with a very unimpressive $8 million in fourth despite its all-star cast. Clearly everyone was in the mood for a comedy. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 rounded-off the top five with $6.1 million.

We just released updated VidyoRoom™ v3.2.4 software, providing users with high quality video conferencing and new scheduling capabilities. Now, VidyoRoom HD230 and VidyoPanorama™ customers have access to an enhanced feature set, including Ultra HD (4K) capabilities unlike any other video conferencing solutions on the market today. Additionally, joining a scheduled meeting from your room system has never been easier with an enhanced calendar integration feature.
Here are more details on some of new features available with VidyoRoom v3.2.4, available via a free software upgrade included with a customer's annual maintenance subscription:
- Phenomenal 4K Performance: Richer collaboration is possible with the ability to display highly detailed content that is greater than HD resolution on a 4K display in full native resolution. No information is lost in down scaling, allowing all participants to see content in full detail. Ultra HD quality is especially helpful when showing dense spreadsheets, fine detail CAD drawings, hi-res artwork for marketing campaigns, or any content where detail matters. Some additional benefits include:
- In multipoint calls, each participant tile is higher resolution for better clarity. With a 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution display there are enough pixels to view 4 x 1080p participants in native resolution. At that size and quality, you'll feel like the remote participant is standing on the other side of a glass panel instead of miles away in front of a camera.
- Customers can save time and money on installations of new rooms by hanging a single larger 4K display rather than multiple 1080p displays. The result is also aesthetically more pleasing.
- Exchange Calendar Integration: When scheduling meetings in physical rooms, most organizations reserve the space by adding a Microsoft® Exchange entry for that room to their calendar invite. Now you can associate that active directory entry with the VidyoRoom system so that any meetings booked will appear on the VidyoRoom user interface. Even better, if the meeting is scheduled to have remote participants and includes a Vidyo click-to-connect link, that meeting becomes a single click card on screen so that participants can simply tap to join. Additionally, the VidyoRoom control API has been extended to enable third party control systems, such as Crestron® and AMX®, to take advantage of the new calendaring functionality. It's never been easier to join a Vidyo meeting.
There are many other features enhancements in this release. Please check the release notes for more details and software dependencies. Visit the Vidyo Support Portal for more details on what's new and get upgraded today!

AIRWAY HEIGHTS, Wash. (AP) — State prison officials are investigating the death of an inmate at the Airway Heights Corrections Center over the weekend.
Dale Stahl, 57, died Saturday in what prison spokeswoman Risa Klemme said is listed as an "unexpected death."
The Spokane County Medical Examiner's office has performed an autopsy, but the cause and manner of death have yet to be determined.
