They say one car left the roadway and ran into a ditch.
The driver, whose name is not being released, was flown to Parkland Hospital in Dallas in critical condition.

We are migrating our C++ source from VS2008 to VS 2010. We are having issues due to incorrect lib files.
Is there any way to determine whether a lib file is build using VS 2010 or VS 2008?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
We are migrating our C++ source from VS2008 to VS 2010. We are having issues due to incorrect lib files.
Is there any way to determine whether a lib file is build using VS 2010 or VS 2008?
Strictly speaking, You won't be able to get it from the lib file directly since those are just a container for .obj files (or 'pseudo object files in the case of import libraries). It's possible to have a library that contains object files created by different compilers, though I doubt you'll see that very often, if ever.
However, you may be able to coax the information out of the object files contained in the library.
I don't know how reliable this information is, but it appears that object files produced by MSVC contain version information about the compiler used to build them. The object file contains a section with the name ".debug$S", which will contain debugging information. However, even if you've built the object file without debugging information, there will still be a small ".debug$S" section, which might look like the following for a simple 'hello world' program compiled with VS 2008 SP1 (Compiler Version 15.00.30729.01):
Note that if you convert the components of the compiler version, 15.00.30729.01, to 16-bit hex numbers, you'll get (displayed in little endian):
Which is a string you'll notice shows up twice in the ".debug$S" section at offsets 0x30 and 0x38.
For VS 2010 SP1 (Compiler version 16.00.40219.01) produces the following ".debug$S":
where you'll note the compiler version data
Similar signatures are produced by VS 2003 through VS 2012 compilers (VC6 does not produce a ".debug$S" section, and I don't have the means to test VS 2002). However, the offsets of the information differ at times (and may differ even for the same compiler depending on the actual options used and file being compiled).
I'm unaware of a tool that will easily extract this information, but some scripts that string together the
Note that as far as I know this information is undocumented, and my reverse engineering of it is sketchy to say the least, and may change or not hold for all circumstances. I'm truly uncertain of how reliable this information is, but it's a start if no other better information shows up.

A prep basketball star at LaSalle High School in New York City, John Candelaria set the school school record for most points and finished second in career rebounding to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Notable Achievements
* NL All-Star (1977)
* 1986 AL Comeback Player of the Year Award
* NL ERA Leader (1977)
* NL Winning Percentage Leader (1977)
* 15 Wins Seasons: 3 (1976, 1977 & 1983)

* 200 Innings Pitched Seasons: 4 (1976, 1977, 1979 & 1980)
* Won a World Series with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1979
Candelaria to the Angels(From Angels Win dot com):
How He Was Acquired: Candelaria was part of a six-player trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates on August 3, 1986. He arrived with pitcher Al Holland and outfielder George Hendrick in exchange for outfielder Mike Brown, pitcher Pat Clements and a player to be named later.
Why You Should Know Him: Candelaria was the winning pitcher in a 5-3 victory over the Red Sox that gave the Angels a 2-1 series lead in their 1986 ALCS matchup, but he took the loss in an 8-1 defeat in Game Seven. He later had a very public spat with former Angels teammate Don Sutton, claiming Sutton had called the police to tip them off before they arrested Candelaria for the first of two DUIs in 1987. Candelaria claimed that Sutton was trying to save his own job by getting Candelaria arrested.
Memorable Moments/Games: Candelaria was a key pickup for the Angels in 1986, finishing with a 10-2 record, a 2.55 ERA and one shutout in 16 starts. His first three starts for the Angels were a 14-3 win over Milwaukee, a 12-3 win over Boston and a 9-3 win over Toronto. His 8-3 win over Texas clinched the American League West for the Angels, giving them a 10-game cushion with nine games left.
Anecdotes and Quotes: Candelaria stood 6'7" and his fastball was clocked in the high 90s during the early part of his career. Originally scouted by the Dodgers, he was in line to sign with them until he appeared at a tryout wearing a shirt that had a marijuana leaf on it and the caption "try some, you'll like it." The Dodgers loss was the Pirates gain. Candelaria later threw a no-hitter against the Dodgers in 1976.

As it says, this is one big ass pool party, and that does not necessarily refer to the size of women's rears. A lot of people are on hand for this mixed get-together. The sex scenes are simply derived from bringing girl(s) into the house for more personal interaction.
Only one woman (Misty Love) hesitates. This busty, lusty gal is simply lifted up, tossed on a stud's shoulder and brought inside where his tongue action finally loosens her up enough for a full scene.
Retailing: One wild pool party with rampant sex back in the mansion. Should do pretty darn good.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) -- A man and woman doing yard work in their Southern California home have unearthed what police believe to be a human skull and bones.
Santa Ana Cpl. Anthony Bertagna says the couple discovered the remains while landscaping their new home Sunday and called police.
Bertagna said the remains were partially buried, and authorities planned to send an anthropologist to the yard Monday to excavate the bones and analyze them.
He said detectives were talking with the property's previous owners.

City Living: North Astoria offers a diverse, close-knit community
The lively northern Astoria neighborhood in western Queens is saturated with diversity, restaurants and a blend of old and new residents who coexist.
There is every ethnicity from European and South and Central American to Middle Eastern and Mediterranean, said Ivona Bilicic, owner of Loveday 31, a vintage boutique on 31st Avenue. I love the fact that I can walk down the street and hear my own language; I love the diversity. Its the best thing here.
She moved to Astoria from Croatia in the 1980s.
It still feels like a neighborhood, which is amazing considering people are constantly moving in, she Bilicic. It still retains most of its original roots and cultures.
Andrew Walters, the general manager of Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden on 24th Avenue has called the area home since 1998 and also noted that the neighborhoods pride is its mix of cultures and close-knit community.
Its like a small town here, I know my neighbors on a first-name basis, he said. The people here are more relaxed and family-oriented.
The area is still known for its Greek restaurants, since the culture is still a big part of the nabe, but Walters noted that residents and visitors can find any cuisine.
Youll find anything you want from Italian to Indian or Thai, he said. Theres a real mixture of culture integrated into the community.
Prices of apartments and homes have risen in recent years as the buzz about Astoria, with its vibrant retail corridors and accessibility to midtown, has reverberated around the five boroughs. But despite the rising cost, people still want to live here.
Prices are going up but its still affordable, said Angela Metaras, a real estate agent at Metropolis Realty on 23rd Avenue who was born and raised in the neighborhood.
Theres so much life here, she added. Its 20 minutes from midtown and just walking out your door youll find cafes, restaurants and friendly people.
It is mostly a renters market in northern Astoria and the housing stock is a mix of pre-war buildings and modern developments. According to Metaras, an average one-bedroom runs from $1,600 to $1,800 while a two-bedroom runs from $1,800 to $2,200. She also noted that the units are becoming more pet-friendly.
Though it still offers a relatively good deal, Bilicic and another business owner, George Stelios of Teddys Florist, worry that soon affordable apartments will be gone.
I hear its hard to find affordable places here, Bilicic said. Especially for my customers since most are in their early- to- late-20s.
Though its a vibrant spot for the old and new residents, Bilicic also said that the area could use more green spaces in addition to the popular Astoria Park.
Thats one challenge of the neighborhood, she said. I think we also need more music venues. We have a great restaurant and bar scene but not a place to hear a live band.
Despite the busy main drags, the tucked-away side streets offer quiet for residents and many say they feel safe in the nabe.
I have a tween boy and I dont have to worry about his safety, Bilicic said.
Looking ahead, agent Metaras said the northern half of Astoria wont lose its value and family-friendliness.
A lot of people think theyll be here for two or three years but they end up loving it and living here for over 10 years, she said.
Walters is part of that group.
I always said Id never raise a family in New York but Ive done so here, he said. The feeling of community and that people care about each other is what makes me stay. Theres nowhere else like it.

Jon is definitely not to blame.
'; pd[36823] = '
depends on where Sean was in regards to the line up.
1.) If Sean was past where the waves were breaking, close to the line-up then... Jon's at fault for not watching where he was paddling.
2.) If Sean was caught inside and Jon connected with him after he had just popped up then... Sean's at fault for being in the wrong place, not getting out of Jon's way.
3.) If Jon had the wave dialed in and was traversing the wave he should have been able to negociate around Sean.
a.) If Jon is not able to turn around an obstacle then... Jon is a kook and should not be out where there are surfers surfing.
b.) If Sean is not able to get out of Jon's way because he does not have the intuition to know where he needs to go in order to be safe then... Sean is a kook and should not be out where there are surfers surfing.

I try to go by two rules: (1) Whoever is on the wave has the right of way, (2) Whoever is closest to the peak has the right of way. Otherwise, it's a free country.

In a situation where both surfers are not going for the same wave (such as this), there is no priority... it is simply up to the surfer that is going for the wave to decide whether or not he wants to chance running into someone that happens to be paddling out in front of him. If it were me, I would simply back out and catch the next wave... frustrated maybe, but no big deal. We've all been in the surfer's position that was paddling out and there's really no fault involved... unless of course, your a kook and you keep doing it on purpose or something... that's another situation all together. In my opinion, unless it's a priority situation, the person that initiates the contact is at fault. Case in point: I recently caught a sweet chest-head high session @ Sebastian and found myself standing on the sand bar after a fun little left barrel section that pinched off at the end... I grabbed my board turned around to paddle out only to see this rookie scratching to get into a wave in front of me... I immediatley started shaking my head NO NO... I could tell he had no chance of making the drop from where I stood. Well, numbnuts decided to go anyway and sure enough, he put all three of his fins through my board as he cart-wheeled down the face of a draining closeout into the history book of kooks. So I ask you now, who's fault was that? ...mine?!?! I think not.

The person paddling out needs to know which way the person riding is going and how fast. The person riding needs to recognize that someone is there and do what is necessary to not hit him. As others have said, if the guy who got hit was caught on the inside, there's not much he can do. Beach breaks like the ones on the east coast don't really lend themselves to paddling around the breaks, since there could very well be surfers for a quarter mile, all of whom are likely to drop in. In this situation where someone's caught inside, the person on the wave needs to do the avoiding, even if that means getting off the wave. If the guy paddling made it outside and is in the break zone, he needs to GTFO of others' way!
And sometimes it's just straight bad luck and inexperience. This seems like one of those situations.

dude I don't know why this is as common as knowing not to cut some one off, for g-d sakes, if someone is on a wave, paddle towards the foam and go under it. I always see people paddle in the direction of which the dude is surfing, and its so dumb. kooks!

i agree with most things, but theres some situations with the shore breaks where i sometimes look up after duck diving a few, and my buddy will be staring at me about to paddle. this is where there is no peak, no set wave coming in. i'll start booking it away from him/and out and if he sees the wave start breaking in my direction, he stops. if not, he continues. i believe that what he does in that situation, and what i do, seem to be the appropriate steps to avoid anything. but once again this is in shorebreak and without a consistent place for breaking waves

whose fault
So this morning I was surfing with my cousin (Lets just call him Sean for the sake of the story) and my other friend (we'll name him Jon)... as sean is paddling out, jon is paddling for a wave. Sean is right where Jon is going to take off. They end up colliding messing up jons board. Whose fault would you say this is. I say its both there faults. Shouldn't take off on a wave when someone is right there but at the same time you should know which way to go to not get in someones way going for a wave.
Its all good now there gonna spit the cost of the repair but I am just curious cause many times when im paddling out I have gotten in peoples way and when im going for a wave people are in my way and wondering whose at fault when something like this happens or its mutual which I think.

Bug reporting
Created: 28 Jul 2014 • Updated: 29 Jul 2014
There should be a better way of reporting bugs.
I raised a support issue to report a bug, and was directed to report the bug as a feature request through Symantec Connect.
The scripts used by the support operators can not handle bugs.
It seems that bugs are unlikely to be found in a search because there are no appropriate tags.
I suspect this is probably generic to all Symantec products, not just anti-virus.
A separate "report a bug" page is required.

Boxing notes: Ronnie Shields joins Team Arreola
To say that 2011 is a big year for heavyweight Chris Arreola would be an understatement.
[caption id="attachment_14166" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Chris Arreola"][/caption]
Arreola (29-2, 25 KOs) will begin the year, Jan. 28 against Chris Abell (27-4, 26 KOs) at Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula.
Houston-based trainer Ronnie Shields has joined up with Arreola as fight night approaches. Shields will share the corner with Arreola's trainer Henry Ramirez. Shields has worked with the likes of Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Vernon Forrest, Kermit Cintron and Meldrick Taylor
Arreola is also working a new conditioning coach, Brian Caldwell.
"As I told everybody when I first saw Chris when he was an amateur, this kid will be heavyweight champion of the world.� And he's still a young guy; he's only 29 years old.� He's still a baby.� I told him that the first day.� I had a long talk with him before we trained and just wanted to see where he was coming from," Shields said. " I see a lot of potential in Chris, but the truth is he is his own worst enemy.� I told him that I'm not here to put pressure on him; I'm here to help him.
"I'm going to work side by side with Henry on trying to get Chris into position to once again challenge for a world heavyweight title and possibly win it."
WBC orders Hopkins-Pascal rematch
Bernard Hopkins (51-5-2, 32 KOs) and Jean Pascal (26-1-1, 16 KOs) fought to a controversial majority draw, December 18. Now, the WBC has ordered a rematch.
"I'd like to thank Mr. Jose Sulaiman and the WBC Board of Governors for ordering an immediate rematch between Pascal and I," Hopkins said.� � "This is a great thing for boxing and hopefully fans will get to see another great fight with Pascal and I.� I'm looking forward to starting off the New Year by making history as the oldest athlete to win a major championship in any sport."
Hopkins was trying to become the oldest world champion in boxing history when he faced Pascal in Quebec City. Pascal scored a knockdown in the first and third rounds, but Hopkins dominated the fight throughout.
One judge scored the fight for Hopkins (114-112), while the other two scored it even (114-114 and 113-113).
However, Pascal might have to face Chad Dawson, in a rematch of their fight from the summer, when Pascal defeated Dawson by 11th-round technical decision.
Sergio Mora returns to the ring in February
Shane Mosley gets Manny Pacquiao. Sergio Mora gets Brian Vera.
Mora, who fought Mosley to a draw back in September, returns to the ring Feb. 4 against Brian Vera in a middleweight fight from the Fort Worth Convention Center in Dallas.� This is scheduled for a 10-round fight.
Both fighters achieved success on "The Contender." Mora, of course, won the tournament in 2004. Vera finished as the runner-up in 2007.
"I'm anticipating a very tough fight from Brian Vera," Mora said. "He (Vera) has beaten some very good fighters, including knocking out Andy Lee and handing him his only loss in 25 fights.� Lee is #6 in the world now, so that tells you how dangerous Vera is.� No question I have my work cut out for me.� Vera is a tough fight for anyone and the fact that the fight is in his hometown only makes it tougher."
Juergen Braehmer runs, Beibut Shumenov gets new opponent
WBA/IBA light heavyweight champion Beibut Shumenov (10-1, six KOs) was supposed� to face Juergen Braehmer Saturday night in a light heavyweight unification fight. However, things changed when Braehmer suddenly left Shymkent, Kazahstan.
You can view Shumenov's thoughts here.
However, Shumenov will still fight Saturday. Former three-time WBA middleweight champ William Joppy (39-6, 30 KOs) has been inserted as Shumenov's opponent.

One important problem in code generation for embedded processors is the design of efficient compilers for target machines with application-specific architectures. This paper outlines the design of a C compiler for an industrial application-specific instruction-set processor (ASIP) for telecom applications. The target ASIP is a, network processor with special instructions for bit-level access to data registers, which is required for packet-oriented communication protocol processing. From a practical viewpoint, we describe the main challenges in exploiting these application-specific features in a C compiler and we show how a compiler backend has been designed that accommodates these features by means of compiler intrinsics and a dedicated register allocator. The compiler is fully operational and first experimental results indicate that C-level programming of the ASIP leads to good code quality without the need for time-consuming assembly programming

Former state labor commissioner Michael Thurmond, an Athens native, joined an Atlanta law firm and plans to handle personal injury and product liability cases, class action lawsuits and whistleblower claims.
Thurmond, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate last year, joined Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer, a spokeswoman for the law firm said this morning.
Thurmond's job also includes overseeing the firm's ongoing efforts to educate and inform the public of their legal rights under state and federal law.
"We are honored to have Michael Thurmond as part of our firm," said Jim Butler, BWF senior partner, said in a news release. "We believe his decades of public service, legal acumen and communication skills make him uniquely qualified to advocate on behalf of our clients."
Thurmond graduated with honors from Paine College with a bachelor's degree in philosophy and religion and earned a juris doctor degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law.

Re: Take the FICO Fitness Challenge for 2011!
I'm new to all of this, but here goes:
I'm going to school, my husband (and 3 kids at home) are living on one income, and the debt has piled up. However, things are looking up. We paid off our last vehicle recently, our credit management company bill will be paid off around the time I graduate (2012) and other things are looking up: husband is about to be promoted, so his salary will raise and we just starting receiving unexpected income each month of nearly $1,000....so I expect some big changes in our credit this year. Of course, we have a LONG way to go. Our current scores are only around 500. (Boo!!) We want to build a home in the summer or fall of 2012, and everything (other than student loans) should be paid off by then, with only our current mortgage.
My goal this year: 600s! Is that do-able in one year?

-The NEW Imperial Officer-
Imperial Officer
My old friend, the Imperial Officer. What comes to mind when you think about this character? I know what drops into my mind. I think about how they hold one arm behind their backs when they fire a blaster. I think about how they say, "You rebel scum." with such contempt. I think about how cool it would be to have my own squad of stormtroopers at my command. And then I think about Star Wars Battlefront and when they announced that they cut the imperial officer class from the game. It was a sad loss, but now we have the opportunity to make the imperial officer ourselves. Here are my lengthy ideas on how the Imperial officer should have been AND should be implemented in the game.
Skins: The imperial officer should retain the look that we see in old screenshots of Battlefront. However, on more rugged maps like Hoth the skin should change to a General Veers type outfit.
Health: The officer should be weak. Wearing no armor like regular troops the officer should go down after a volley of 7 blaster shots or one close grenade. This helps balance the gameplay as you'll read later on.
Weapon: An officer gets only one real weapon, the Imperial blaster pistol. This blaster would fire at the same rate/speed as the Jet-troopers commando pistol. This gives the player an extra edge, because he doesn't have overwhelming health or firepower. Also, like the jet-troopers commando pistol the officers pistol would recharge.
***Passive abilities***
- Spy Detection -
With an imperial officer the player can detect rebel spy units disguised as Imperials troops. With this automatic spy detection this balances the notion that rebel spies could get away with whatever they want while in still their disguises. And they very well could until an imperial officer stumbles across them. In addition to the officer uncovering the rebel spy any imperial troopers in his vicinity would also see through the disguise.
- Rebel Jammer Detection -
When a rebel spy builds a satellite jammer the imperials lose the ability to A.) see their own units on the map and B.) See rebel and NPC forces on the map. Once the Rebel Jammer is online the imperial side is virtually blind, except for the Imperial Officer. Only he still can see his own units and rebel units moving on the map. This special exception allows him to coordinate forces and tell this team to defend and attack. In addition to still seeing units on the map the officer also can see the precise location of the rebel jammer. Represented by a blue satellite icon the Imperial officer can tell troopers to move to its location and blow it to hell. This special detection ability teamed up with the "Rally Point" feature mentioned later on can really amp up the importance of the officer and effectively counteract the rebel spy.
- Imperial Leadership -
This latent ability would grant the player that chooses an imperial officer the power to heal and give ammo to those within a small radius of his presence (think mobile med/ammo droid). If anyone has played Diablo 2 they are most likely familiar with the character class called Paladin. In Diablo the Paladin had the unique ability to turn-on a skill/stat/power enhancing magic called an "aura". When the Paladin chose what aura to use a visual circle would appear around his character. Depending on the type of aura the Paladin could choose one that would significantly increase how much damage he could dish out or with another aura he could increase the speed of striking an enemy. But the real tactical factor in the Paladin class was his ability to share the effect of the aura with any of his companions in close proximity to himself. This would be the same for the officer's "Imperial Leadership" ability. But instead of activation, like in Diablo 2, the imperial officer would automatically have a "aura" around himself and anyone nearby. Maybe this aura could be an light gray semi-transparent Imperial symbol that would mark the officer and troopers that are under the effects of "leadership". But the moment a trooper steps outside the invisible radius that Imperial Leadership extends the symbol would immediately fade out from under the trooper. Of course, these simple visual cues would be visible for both factions. So, at the start of a game the Officer would have the ability to heal and dispense ammo to troops automatically if they are nearby.
Questions and Answers-
1.) But how could you program the officer to automatically heal and give ammo? Well, you already see the automatic healing and ammo dispensing in stationary droids, why can't you program the same attributes on a moving character?
2.) What about programming the invisible radius that "Imperial Leadership" would extend to? How could you do that? That also is already present inside the current game. Think about the distance you can be away from the center of a command point in order to convert it. You can be pretty far away and still capture it without sitting directly on top of it. If the programmers in that situation were able to figure out how to translate, "this far away you can do this, THAT far away and you CAN'T do this" then Imperial Leadership could be done.
3.) What would happen if two officers walked with bunch of troops? No, the speed of healing or amount of distributed ammunition would not double. With more than one officer the effect of Imperial Leadership would neutralize to a single officer. Nor could officers heal one another or themselves. The same goes for ammo among the presence of multiple officers.
Imagine an officer running alongside a squad of stormtroopers and suddenly they stumble upon a pocket of rebel resistance. Blaster fire is exchanged and some stormtroopers are hit! But the stormtrooper players stand firm and continue to fight. Why? Because an imperial officer is there blasting along side them! With his presence on the battlefield other players can rest assured that even if they take hits they'll immediately be healed by "Imperial Leadership". Even after a battle troops accompanying an officer can be "recharged" and live to fight another day. The effects of Imperial Leadership on gameplay are devastatingly awesome. 1.) Players benefit by sticking together and functioning as a squad. 2.) The psychological impact of players trusting in an officer to stand firm and help them as they fight is very powerful. This builds trust in player to player relations: "You help me and I'll help you." 3.) The dynamic of the game is changed so that more strategy is involved with moving forces forward in the map with squads of people. This also cuts back on the loners who do their own thing only to be killed by an overwhelming rebel force, thus wasting tickets. 4.) How much more Star Wars-esy can you get? The idea of Imperial officers leading troopers into battle is just plain cool. Take a good hard look at Return of the Jedi my friends; you'll see officers running with troopers.
The only negative I see with "Imperial Leadership" is the fact that you get to heal and give ammo to troopers. An awesome squad of troopers under command of an officer could be a nearly unstoppable force. This could really tip the balance of power way out of scale. So, to remedy this effect here are three suggestions that might balance gameplay:
1.) Make the Imperial officer's health very weak. Change his health so that he dies in 6 shots or one grenade. Make him very fragile so that his troopers place extra value on keeping him alive. Make him weak so that rebels will make a concerted effort to kill him first and knocking out all those bonuses he grants allies.
2.) Change the automatic healing and ammo to something else. Maybe health and ammo is not the answer. But is extra damage per blaster shot sound any easier? Or how about equal speed for anyone under the umbrella effect of "Imperial Leadership". Think about it.
3.) Severely limit the rate at which health/ammo is passed out. Instead of neighboring troops drinking up the health and ammo with big gulps, let them sip it through a straw. By changing the rate at which troops receive health and ammo this may help even out the gameplay.
But what about the fact that pilots can already pass out health and ammo on the battlefield? Come on! Are you serious? No one really puts that feature to good use. It's way too cumbersome to switch to the health/ammo dispenser and then "throw" them to your teammates. With Imperial Leadership you skip that extra step and automatically give them the goods. Plus, it's out of character to have pilots give little packets of stuff to soldiers on the field. But with the role of an Officer it makes sense that troopers would get benefits by sticking with their commander.
I honestly believe that this would kick some serious ass if it was implemented into the game. You change the tactics, the psychological impact, the feel of Star Wars and the unity of a team by adding this feature. I hope other people will agree.
***Activated abilities***
- Rally point -
Taking battlefield directions from comrades by voice or chat sometimes just does not work when playing online. Here's where the Imperial officer's rally point solves this problem. As an officer you would be able to pull up your full map and mark an 'X' anywhere on the map that tells your teammates where to focus their attention. After, placing the red colored 'X' on the map an automated message would flood to all the imperial players saying, "Imperial Officer orders received" and then the same 'X' would appear on their maps. The 'X' symbol would stay on the map for a set amount of time and then disappear off the map. So, when grunts are off doing something thats not benefiting the team the officer could clearly communicate to all the players "we need troops here" with a simple symbol and message. Imagine trying to type out all that battlefield information, "Yea, go take the command post in the middle with the rocks." Or "Get the CP at dock two. Oops!! No, no, the other one!! I meant the dock on the left side!" And by the time your done typing someone else as bumped your instructions down and out of sight. With the officers rally point this communications issue could be alleviated. Another idea is to have a vehicle rally point symbol to mark on the map where vehicles should attack. I'm open to other suggestions. Maybe waypoints or 'defend' markers...One closing thought: marking rally points does not mean creating spawn points. It means, "I want everyone to go to this area here *points finger*."
Multiple officers giving conflicting/different directions on troop movements might be a big problem. However, this issue could easily be remedied by giving each officer a different colored rally point/icon. This would prevent the problem of having 6 red X's spread all over the map screwing everyone up. Also, when the officer places the rally point on the map and the automated message is sent it would be personalized with his name, "Imperial Officer Achillesz7's orders received".
(Note: the below are ideas which are extremely radical and crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if people said that they will not work)
- Vehicle Order -
ONE TIME order (spawn) of a imperial armor unit. Out of the weapons selection the Imperial officer pulls out a datapad (optional 3d "object") that is held in front of the player. Suddenly, we pop out to a vehicle selection screen (like the character selection screen) but only with map-restricted vehicles available. The player then chooses which vehicle he/she wishes to "order". After selecting the vehicle the player must then "built" it by depressing the firing key (imagine how a pilot slowly builds a turret until its at "full health", same thing). When the "building" is complete the vehicle is combat ready and appears in front of the officer.
Positives - An awesome way to imbue the player with the feeling of imperial power. This option fits in perfectly with the character of an imperial officer. It is a tactical decision that someone with high authority would make that the start of an assault. The tide of the battle could that a major change with an addition of another armor unit. What damage could a TIE bomber/AT-ST do to the rebel opposition on a map like Mos Eisely where there aren't any imp units present?
Drawbacks - Major repercussions on gameplay balance. What happens when two or more officers start ordering vehicles? What if there isn't enough space for the vehicle to be built, like on Mos Eisley? What about on Hoth, could you build vehicles there? Could lag become an issue?
Conclusion - This option can seriously damage the balance of a game. However, if the imperial officer WAS limited to what vehicles he could order into combat it could work. BUT even so, what vehicles could even FUNCTION in the maps. Remember some maps we not built with vehicles in mind. Bespin City was not built with the mindset to have an imperial tank or AT-ST cruise through it. Also, what would the officer be adding that wasn't already present? How could his additional vehicle benefit from a map that has plenty of vehicles already? Think about Bespin Platforms, what help could adding another TIE fighter have to an already vehicle filled level? Not much. However, a way to carefully implement this option to the imperial officer is to make the Vehicle Ordering option ONLY available on certain maps. So, on some maps like Hoth or Bespin platforms the Imperial officer would not have the choice to use Vehicle ordering. But on other maps like the Wookiee docks, Yavin Temple or Mos Eisley he would have the option of calling in armour units. Overall, having the Vehicle Ordering option map-specific would be a half-implemented idea and possibly too much work to do for a limited one at that. This goes to show you that if this idea was present at the beginning of Battlefront's production they would have built it into the design of every map.
- Mobile Spawn Point -
This allows the officer the ONE TIME creation of a spawn point at the player's current location. Like building a turret with a pilot, the imperial officer would "build" a temporary spawn point. The difference between the pilot building a turret and an officer building a spawn would be that an officer can build a spawn point anywhere, not just at specific indicated locations. After an officer finishes building the spawn a physical/visible representation would appear at the site. If anyone has played the Geonosis map then they may have seen the spire's spawn point. That is what the finished mobile spawn should look like. Why? Because it's nice and big. That spawn is much larger than all other CP's in the game and anyone can see it from a distance. And why should it be extremely visible? This allows players from the rebel team to see it and try to quickly destroy it. In addition to appearing on the level's landscape, the spawn would also appear to both factions on the map as a light blue command post. Of course only imperial players would be able to respawn at the blue post on the selection screen, but allowing the rebels to see the point gives them more motivation to destroy it.
Already, some may be wondering what the limitations of the mobile spawn point are. As I've mentioned it will be totally destroyable. However, what the mobile spawn CAN spawn is a bigger issue and there are several ways of balancing this effect in gameplay. One option is to limit the duration of the spawn point. After "building" it the spawn point could be activated for 20 or 30 seconds. Another method is to have a limit of how many players can spawn from the point. You could limit the number of players that spawn to 30 or 10 "tickets". Or maybe there would be no limits whatsoever; except that after it is destroyed it no longer spawns players. This is definitely something that must be game-tested.
Again, this places great authority and sweeping tactical power into the black gloves of an imperial officer. IF he can get a spawn point up and running he could strategically plan assaults on rebel controlled choke points by diverting forces right to the front lines. IF an officer was able to set up a mobile spawn point right after an imperial CP was overtaken his team might be able to rally back by spawning in and quickly storming the CP. It is this kind of tactical advantage that imperial officers would bring to the battlefield.
Negatives - Just like the vehicle "ordering" mentioned earlier the mobile spawn point could be abused in a major way. What happens if more than one imperial officers set mobile spawn points surrounding a rebel bunker? Wouldn't that be unfair if multiple officers could spawn in 40 guys to sweep right through an area?
Conclusion - I think this idea of mobile spawn points could work if the limitations were set just right. If it was tested and proven in gameplay that mobile spawns are better balanced when they last for 20 seconds OR they only allow 12 tickets to spawn then maybe this could work. And how much damage could a spawn sustain before being destroyed? Maybe the crucial balance issue could be a matter of the spawn's "ease of destruction". If it's tested that just one grenade is enough to destroy a mobile spawn in order to balance things with the rebels, then so be it. But if its tested that having the spawn's "health" be equal to that of a genetic turret then use that instead. I mean think about it: Let's say that four officers successfully build four spawns right outside the rebel encampment. Now, immediately the rebels know that the imperials setup mobile spawn points on the map and its just a matter of dealing with them. So, to counteract the imperials the rebels send out two rocket players to knock out the 4 spawns. Making visual contact with the imperial spawns the rebels launch their missiles and easily destroy them before more troopers arrive. This sets the imperials "strategic push" right back to square one, with the exception that maybe they spawned in 12 troopers before they got shut down. But the balance would be, "I can EASILY shut these spawns down before they get out of control and bring in loads of troops because they're so weak." Again, this must be tested and tried in various gameplay tests. But I believe that this idea of imperial officers having the option to create mobile spawn points has serious potential.
I'll be looking forward to your comments. Oh, by the way I'm looking to get into the video gaming industry as a game designer. So, if you know anyone give me a shout.
P.S. - Look for my Rebel Spy write up later this week.

Man, you have too much time on your hands!
Seriously, you got some good ideas.
But... I'd like to say that the Imperial Officer
skin should not be the typical commander you
think of - being scolded by Vader, or pondering
on a Star Destroyer bridge.
I think that it should be a noncommissioned
officer, who has a more active role in battles.
He looks somewhat like the Death Star/Navy
Troopers, but has a regular officer's hat
and four belt boxes.
The gray-uniformed command officers like
originally in the game never were active in
battles (in the movies at least). They seem to
only be there to give orders and boss around
the commanders that are lower than them.
But the noncommissioned officers were in battle,
and reported directly with the grunts. They were
most often seen in the Endor bunker, armed
with blaster pistols.
There's a few examples of noncommissioned
Also, I'd like to add that it'd be nice if the
Imperial Officer could get Orbital Strikes back.
I don't mean a Recon Droid, but how it was
before Recon Droids. I assume that it was
using binoculars to target an area to bombard.
Interesting ideas! Hope to see it come to life.

Great ideas, but I'm afraid this is impossible for a mod. I'm pretty sure one of the devs reads this board sometimes, though, so if they decide to do an expansion pack your ideas might be taken into consideration.

Well, nice idea, although a bit over-loaded with abilities.
Let's see what's remotely possible, and what's impossible by modding with current abilities and information.
The Imperial Leadership (mobile healing and ammo) is, I think, virtually within the grasp of hex modding, but it is also the most useless in game terms ability (the pilot already has the ability to spawn power-ups and medpacks, and the healing droids are all over the map).
But it's true that this option (especially if we turn off the pilot's ability to throw power-ups) will cause players to stick together as squads, which would be awesome
they would be protecting the officer, and he would protect them from losing health..
Rally point is also virtually in the grasp of modding (just a bit more info, and it's possible!). But this is a multiplayer feature, in single player you don't need it (bots obey commands without failure!)
The vehicle order is also, possibly, modded. But not with a datapad - possibly just by pressing a number or something like this.
As for spawning vehicles, just put restrictions on maps (Mos Eisley won't fit an AT-AT, but other stuff will go).
Mobile spawn point is also something possibly modded.
Other ideas are great, but virtually impossible by modding in it's current state.

If it is any Imperial officer, though, it'll have to be an NCO, like TK-8252 said. Also, they should carry more than just a blaster pistol, I think maybe 1 concussion grenade or 2, or a therman detonator. Once someone agrees to help me with my newest mod, I hope to create a real blaster pistol for the Imps, replacing that crappy one they have now with the DH-17, the one used by all of the Death Star troopers and NCO's. Maybe they could have a Blaster Carbine like the E-11, and a pistol, but no explosives, to make it fair. I think that they sould also be able to repair/build stuff, and get a bonus when piloting a vehicle, not a starfighter, if that's possible.

Actually, the Imperial Navy never used whatever that pistol was, and both branches of the service (Navy and Army), always stuck to the DH-17 blaster pistol, which was a truly excellent weapon.
Once again, I think that the NCO's should have a DH-17, or a better pistol than that crappy Scout Trooper blaster that they use, and I think that they should have an E-11, because a few of 'em actually did use some at the Battle of Endor, if you examine the DVD closely, and I think that without an E-11 or something, they have nothing going for them, at least combat-wise.

My ideas for the Officer would be:
All troops within a certain radius receive a 25% increase in HP and damage.
Snipers no longer have OS and the Officer gets it and targets an area for OS with the binoculars.
Binoculars can also make enemy units show up on everyones map by looking at the target with the binoculars for 3 seconds.
Bothan spies can be spotted by Officers and then targeted by the binoculars to seal their fate.
Only weapons would be a blaster pistol and a few mines. (maybe a shield like in JA?)
Bothan Spy:
While wearing disguise appears as a stormtrooper to all non officers and cannot attack while disguised.
Able to place det packs and another sort of time bomb that calls in an OS after enough time to run of course.
Weapon is just a normal blaster pistol but with much greater accuracy than a normal one.
Being a spy they have a natural danger sense and are able to spot mines better (they glow) and enemies show up on the radar at close range (just around the corner).
Limiting OS to being placed manually and through binoculars helps stop spammage drastically as you have to able to see your target and if you can see them they can probably see you.

China collection to mark 60 yrs of Queen`s coronation unveiled
London: A rare handmade bone china collection with elaborate scrollwork edging made from real 22-carat gold has been launched here to mark the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II`s coronation.
The Royal Collection Trust has launched the range of commemorative china featuring a design inspired by the pomp and pageantry of the coronation.
The eight fine bone china pieces in the range were handmade in Stoke-on-Trent and boast elaborate scrollwork edging made from real 22-carat gold, the Daily Mail reported.
Although last year`s Diamond Jubilee celebrated the Queen`s 60 years on the throne, the Jubilee referred to the date she ascended the throne, February 6, 1952.
However, the Queen did not officially take charge until her coronation, which took place more than a year later on the June 2, 1953, at Westminster Abbey.
On that occasion millions lined the procession route with some camping for two days to ensure a good vantage spot.
They were rewarded by the sight of the Queen, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, travelling to and from the Abbey in the gold state coach.
Produced in the same Stoke-on-Trent potteries that made the official wedding range for Prince William and Kate, the pieces feature the royal arms and a border that replicates the silk damask banners on the state trumpets blown to herald the moment the Queen was crowned.
The crimson and gold colour scheme echoes the scarlet state livery of the coachmen who drove the Queen in the gold state coach.
The range, which is available for buying from the Royal Collection website, the Buckingham Palace gift shop and the outlet at Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, starts at 25 pounds for a red and gold coffee mug.

My hand slowly touches Marisa's cheek in a soothing motion. Her... Chained to Ryuu? Natruo was being rather cruel this year... This little girl could probably keep up with him, but he'd kill her in an instant. He would do anything to get her away from him. He'd probably cut her hand off so he could do his thing. My other hand went over my mouth as I felt a gross sensation come up my throat.
"Shhh.... Marisa... It's alright... The game designer must have something else planned. If he killed you right away, then the Gods watching the program won't be too happy. And just because we're not there, doesn't mean we never will be." I smile warmly at her, which makes Vergil flinch.
The little girl squeezes tight against Kerin, looking at me cautiously. Did she trust me? Could she trust me? She reached out her tiny hand, and touched my smile. Her own, weak smile appeared. "Okay...." She nuzzles up into Kerin, thinking deeply. "......Is Bern-sama an ally now...?"
I smile a little more, and I can literally feel Vergil's urge to hit me. "Only if Kerin lets me," I answer, looking up at him. Fang, who has been silent the entire time, has his face inside his hands. With what little I could see, he looked to be in distress. Quietly, I began digging through the pockets of my jacket.
"Your plans will fail, my sweet lady. And when they do, your stories will be nothing but lies, your rebellion will be in vain, and war will rage for years until you are but a speck of dust." - Noh
"The lies of your world will be exposed. My rebellion will rein over your realm, and no longer will this time be plagued by war." - ???

Schools an asset to communityMay 02,2014I am a proud member of the Rutland High School graduating class of 2011. I am currently a student at the University of Vermont, studying mathematics. When I learned that the school budget had been defeated for the first time in history, I was alarmed by the potential damage that could do to the current and future students, the community, and the school system itself. Please support the school budget on May 13.
I attended Rutland City Public Schools from kindergarten through 12th grade. My years within the walls of Rutlands schools and on the athletic fields prepared me well for my studies at UVM and my career beyond. The school system in Rutland is an asset to the entire community and one of the reasons people do decide to move to the area.

Photo Details
Photo was taken in New Jersey, probably around 1925. In the center of the photo is Howard Van Buskirk, dressed in the padded catcher's uniform. At the far left is Babe Ruth. I have no idea how this picture was arranged. I came across the picture in an old album belonging to Howard Van Buskirk.
Mystery: Anyone with additional info about the picture, please feel free to fill in the blanks.

Daniel Pinna This couldn't be Babe Ruth if it was taken in 1890. Babe was born in 1895. It does look like him though! I hope someone is able to recognize the uniforms.
May 08, 2013 · Reply
Mary Vail You are right, Daniel. I went back and checked to see what identifiers I might find. Howard Van Buskirk, the catcher in the picture, was born in 1888 so my original date is way off. The album where the picture resides is completely undated with pics from the late 1800's through about 1920-25. I've looked up some of the swimwear in pictures and have dated some to around 1900. Since they lived on the coast in New Jersey, I can only assume most were taken in New Jersey.

Melissa Myers This is either a minor league team or else some other team uniform as the Uniforms for the leagues started in 1900 and the pants were as short and the catcher's in this photo.

NABLUS, West Bank (AP) - Palestinian officials say Israeli
troops have killed three activists of the Fatah movement of
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Anan Attireh, deputy governor of the West Bank's Nablus
district, says Israeli forces opened fire while storming the homes
of the men in the city of Nablus.
The Israeli military declined immediate comment.
Saturday's operation in Nablus' old city came two days after
Palestinian gunmen killed an Israeli in a West Bank ambush.
The West Bank has been relatively calm, and army raids against
Fatah activists are unusual.
Abbas and Israel have instead focused on a common foe, the Islamic militant group Hamas.

I have the problem that when I send my computer to sleep it wakes if you bump the table, floor, burp etc. I have read many threads that say go to Device Manager > Mouse > Properties > Power Management Tab and uncheck the box for wake.
My problem is I do not have a Power Management Tab! Anyone know how to enable the tab or stop the mouse from waking my machine?
And no, turning it upside down doesn't work either!

Hi everybody,
i'm going crazy right now. I bet the solution is very simple but i just can't see it right now.
I set up a wordpress multisite and editing the default twentyeleven wp-theme right now.
I added a few custom templates (used with pages) and want to get some posts in them.
But for some reason the standard looping process doesn't give me any results!
shouldn't this do the job?
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php echo 'test'; ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>

<?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>

<?php endif; ?>
I always get back the "sorry, no posts..." message. Of course i included the header and footer.
I actually tried copy&paste the whole index.php into the custom-template (used in a wp-page) but the loop can't find any posts even though i added a few.
Whats the problem?
Thanks in advance
