Rivers welcomes fresh start with LA Clippers
LOS ANGELES — Even Doc Rivers got weary of the two-week saga of his move to the Los Angeles Clippers. He thought the unusual deal was dead several times, and he insists he really didn't mind the prospect of returning to the Boston Celtics.
"I felt like I was the only guy in all this that was in a win-win," Rivers said.
The Clippers think they've got plenty of winning in store after landing one of the NBA's most respected veteran coaches.
The Clippers formally introduced Rivers at their training complex Wednesday after dealing a first-round pick to the Celtics. Rivers was simply grateful to end his self-described "strange ordeal" ever since the Celtics floated the possibility of moving the NBA's highest-paid coach to a talented team determined to replace Vinny Del Negro with a topflight leader.
Larry Bird returning to Pacers front office
INDIANAPOLIS — A year away from basketball has rejuvenated Larry Bird.
Now he wants to win a championship.
Bird, the former NBA star who left his job last season after rebuilding the Indiana Pacers and winning the league's executive of the year award, will be reintroduced to the media Thursday morning as the president of basketball operations. That's the same job Bird held from 2003-12.
"The year off gave me a chance to reflect, to rest, to take care of some health issues and it re-charged me," Bird said in a statement issued by the team.
The move is hardly a surprise.
He reportedly met earlier this month with Sacramento about becoming that team's general manager and had become a regular in recent weeks as the Pacers held public draft workouts, making his imminent return one of the worst kept secrets in Indy.
A-Rod, Cashman clear the air after uproar
NEW YORK — Brian Cashman wouldn't change the message, just the way he delivered it.
On Wednesday, the Yankees general manager said he regretted using an expletive in reaction to Alex Rodriguez taking to Twitter to announce he'd been medically cleared to play in games — something Cashman still characterized as inaccurate.
"I think we're both at fault," said Cashman, adding that, "We want Alex back as soon as we possibly can. That's not an issue."
At issue was a violation of agreed-upon club protocol.
In the Yankees' view, Rodriguez jumped the gun by proclaiming that Dr. Bryan Kelly, who performed his hip surgery in January, had provided "the green light to play games again!" as per Tuesday night's tweet.
Kelly is no longer is supervising Rodriguez's rehab.
And Cashman reacted angrily, telling ESPN New York, "When the Yankees want to announce something (we will). Alex should shut the (bleep) up."
By Wednesday evening, Rodriguez and Cashman had concluded a 30-minute "constructive, healthy conversation" according to Yankees spokesman Jason Zillo. "Everyone is on the same page," Zillo said. "We are all going to communicate and work together to get Alex back as quickly as possible … we're all back on track."

Currencies: Where to for sterling, euro and US dollar?
- Details
- Category: Rolling FX Market Updates
- Published on Monday, 10 December 2012 12:23
- Written by Charles Purdy, Director of Smart Currency Exchange
Sterling continued to lose ground against the US dollar on Friday dropping to 1.60; but, traded in a relatively narrow range against the majority of currencies. Rumours continue to build that the UK will soon lose its gold plated AAA rating; however, a lot of economists are suggesting this is already priced into the market and won't really affect the UK's economy due to only 7 countries currently having a "stable outlook".
On the data front, the change in manufacturing production fell sharply by 1.3% when only a 0.2% drop had been anticipated. The Governor of the Bank of England is speaking this week and we will also have the benchmark 10-year bond auction. Unemployment data will be one of the key releases this week and will include figures showing the change in the number of people claiming unemployment benefits.
It was once again a tough day for the euro on Friday, continuing to lose ground against all major peers. Increasing speculation that the European Central Bank may be in support of an interest rate cut if the Eurozone's economic performance doesn't show signs of improving decreased demand for the 17-nation currency. News that German industrial production contracted more than expected - total output shrunk by 2.6% - did little to restore confidence, and saw the currency fall to a 2-week low versus the US dollar.
This week sees the release of German economic sentiment and Manufacturing Purchase Manager Index (PMI); should these come in lower than forecast, expect the euro to continue its slide against its major trading partners. Eyes will also be on the EU economic summit where heads of state are set to continue discussions over a proposed banking union.
US dollar
The US dollar strengthened on Friday due to an increase in risk aversion in the global markets following news being released that more members of the ECB are in favour of rate cut in 2013. Furthermore, data released on Friday showed that both the non-farm employment change and unemployment rate in the US came out better than forecast, with employers adding more jobs than forecast last month and the unemployment rate dropping to almost a four year low.
We have a quiet day today in terms of data released in the US, but this week we will see the US trade balance as well as the Federal Open Market Committee statement and economic projections. Towards the back end of this week we will also see Core Retail Sales and also Core Consumer Price Index data out.
Elsewhere, the South African rand registered is highest weekly gain since September on Friday. A gain of 2.3% for the week could have been higher if not for a depreciation against the USD on Friday.
The Canadian dollar dropped on Friday following employment data coming out of both the US and Canada.
A 7.2% unemployment rate was received positively on the back of an expected 7.4% reading. Overnight we had the release of trade balance data rom China and we have more data out from China later on in the week in the form of Manufacturing PMI. The Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia will be speaking this week and we will also see the Swiss National Bank (SNB) decision on interest rate.

By Daniel P. Elkins, Mission and Installation Contracting Command Public Affairs OfficeAugust 5, 2014
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas (Aug. 5, 2014) -- An acquisition database application developed at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, to better manage contracting operations and enhance customer support and contract management is being fielded across the Mission and Installation Contracting Command.
MICC officials at Fort Belvoir launched the Contracting Tactical Operations Center application at the end of 2013 to provide online, real-time procurement insight to address challenges of a geographically dispersed command, acquisition training, managerial capabilities and resourcing levels.
In January, application capabilities were demonstrated to MICC leaders at the brigade and field directorate office level during the Operational Contract Support Joint Exercise 2014 at Fort Bliss, Texas.
Lt. Col. Maria Schneider, the commander of MICC-Fort Belvoir, said an informal canvas of offices interested in fielding CTOC was then conducted to determine if the application had further effectiveness at other sites. Locations identified included Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas, Fort Carson, Colorado, and Fort Polk, Louisiana. This month, officials are adding Fort Drum, New York, and Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, to that list of early adopters.
Following the success at MICC-Fort Belvoir and six months of field testing at the select contracting sites, Army Contracting Command officials approved expanding use of CTOC across the MICC as a tactical contract management system.
"The system has been very successful," said Cyp LaPorte, the chief of contract plans and programs here who is leading the plan to field the application across the MICC enterprise. "So much so that ACC headquarters has agreed to allow the MICC to field it across the command."
The CTOC software program helps to bridge the gap between the needs of the tactical operational mission at the local contracting office level versus the strategic needs of the higher headquarters, which are supported through Virtual Contracting Enterprise-Contract Management module.
Schneider explained that several objectives had to be accomplished over the first half of this year to reach the point of command-wide implementation.
The first of those was gaining access to the necessary software. CTOC is operated in the QuickBase business application platform. MICC officials reached out to the Army Materiel Command and gained support for QuickBase licenses in support of CTOC efforts.
Next, MICC officials refined procurement management requirements and expanded the application software to focus on the three functional management pillars of workforce, contract operations and oversight.
Schneider and the MICC integrated process team leading the CTOC effort also worked closely with the operators of the ACC VCE for four months conducting necessary analysis to ensure a smooth transition. At the end of May, the two teams arrived at a successful interface for all mandatory record fields.
"This virtual demonstration was a major milestone required to receive concurrence from the ACC commanding general on the fielding of CTOC to all MICC offices," Schneider said.
As the CTOC application is fielded throughout MICC contracting offices, the integrated process team will continue refine its capability to include establishing and implementing a configuration management process; constructing sustainment support consisting of a help desk, survey and functionality reviews; and validating reporting requirements and dashboard aides.
Deployment of CTOC capability is being accomplished over four phases. Officials are now coming to the end of the first phase and have been working with leaders across the command to collect requirements and organizational structure. By the end of this fiscal year, all MICC offices will be virtually loaded into CTOC while those where the software has already been field tested will be fully operational.
During a second phase beginning in October, the CTOC team will focus on conducting training workshops for the remaining MICC offices and putting in place sustainment measures.
This phase comes with a clear understanding that the timing of the CTOC deployment may be cause for concern.
"There is never a good time to field a new process in contracting, and it can't get any worse than right in the middle of fourth quarter, year-end operations," Schneider said. "However, the MICC CTOC team is confident that with the demonstrated capability, offices will embrace the change; and the information required on the front end from offices is minimal."
She encourages contracting leaders and supervisors to reach out to other MICC offices at which the CTOC is already in place to learn more about its value.
Also during the second phase of deployment, officials plan to mitigate funding constraints and the limited number of trainers with the establishment of a CTOC training university and development of a train-the-trainer concept. They will also optimize training opportunities through virtual sources such as the Defense Connect Online as well as a regional approach to on-site workshops, the MICC-Fort Belvoir commander said.
The third phase will center on all MICC offices achieving fully operational capability in November and December.
"The fourth and final phase is focused on sustainment efforts of CTOC application," Schneider said. "Primary emphasis for the CTOC team is to closely monitor the progress of the Army Contract Writing System and integration of capabilities within the application for day-to-day workload management."
The approval by ACC officials to expand use of CTOC offers acquisition members across the command a new tool to replace antiquated methods that offered little insight into the effective management of resources.
"In order to manage something you have to be able to monitor it; that is where CTOC provides an advantage over other existing management systems," LaPorte said. "Currently our office directors, division chiefs and branch chiefs at the tactical level are using various non-automated tools to manage their procurement workload. CTOC provides MICC operational leaders with the ability to review their current workload without having to learn or rely upon additional systems."
LaPorte added that organizational leaders can drill through multiple levels of data and various graphic interfaces to gain an understanding on office trends or status of procurements.
"All of these abilities allow leaders to gain a better understanding of the procurement workload within their office and the effects on their workforce and customer support through one automated system," he said. "CTOC enhances the leaders' ability to align resources to appropriate work areas based upon a given set of leader developed criteria."
Although built around the better management of the acquisition process, its workload and resources, officials believe efficiencies offered by the new application ultimately benefits MICC-supported customers.
"Better management at the tactical level will increase the office efficiency and effectiveness providing more timely support to the customer," LaPorte said.

Japan 2
From the late 19th century Japan began a modernizing process that eventually made it into a major world power. It fought wars against China 1894–95 and Russia 1904–05, and after World War I occupied Manchuria 1931 and invaded China 1937. Japan entered World War II on the Axis side with a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The country surrendered in 1945 after the US dropped the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan is now a highly industrialized country and the leading economic power in the region

A new study finds that the use of antidepressants has almost doubled among people in the U.S. between the years 1996 and 2005 – increasing from 5.84 percent to 10.12 percent. That translates to a grand total of 27 million people.
In order to conduct this study, the authors Dr. Mark Olfson and Dr. Steven C. Marcus examined the Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys completed in 1996 and 2005 by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The surveys help to provide estimates about healthcare costs and consisted of approximately 50,000 people age six and over.
After examining the data, the research team noticed that this significant increase did not hold true for African Americans (3.61 percent in 1996 to 4.51 percent in 2005) or Hispanics (3.72 percent in 1996 to 5.21 percent in 2005). They also found that the number of people taking part in therapy decreased from 31.5 percent to 19.87 percent, while the patients prescribed antipsychotic medications rose from 5.46 percent to 8.86 percent.
Dr. Mark Olfson tells HealthDay:
"The reasons [for the growth] are unclear but they may include the introduction of new antidepressants over the last 10 to 12 years or so and a broadening in the clinical indications of antidepressant treatment. Years ago, these drugs were largely focused on depression. Today, more different conditions are treated with antidepressants… There's also been an increase in direct-to-consumer advertising and a lessening of the stigma associated with seeking mental health care."
The study authors found a considerable increase in direct-to-consumer advertising, from $32 million in 1996 to $122 million in 2005. This is evident through the influx of television advertisements for antidepressants shown in recent years. (Does anyone else find the recent commercial with the woman and her wind up toy slightly creepy?)
Now that antidepressants are the most prescribed category of drugs in the U.S., Olfson expresses concern that these prescriptions might be taken too casually. He emphasizes to WebMD that the decision to take an antidepressant is between the physician and the patient and should be taken seriously in order to determine the best treatment plan.
The study is published in the Archives of General Psychiatry and more information on depression can be found here.

Dallas isn't the only place with charges of tutoring fraud
Dallas ISD officials suspect that five tutoring companies may have bilked the district out of more than $500,000, we reported Sunday. The allegations — which owners of three companies deny — include forging student signatures to get paid by DISD, tutoring at libraries when they're closed, and claiming to tutor a kid who had moved out of the country.
Meanwhile, the Minneapolis Star Tribune just ran a three-day series on the federally mandated tutoring program and concluded that in Minnesota, it's "rife with mismanagement and fraud."
One big difference between the North Star State and the Lone Star State: Minnesota is seeking a waiver from the U.S. Department of Education that would let it scrap the tutoring requirement. Texas has not sought a waiver, although Texas Education Agency officials say they're working to improve the tutoring program, starting with a tougher application.

ThinkGrid evolves into Colt SME services package Ceano
Colt says its Ceano converged ICT services platform will change the nature of its channel and is recruiting new partners to reflect this
Colt has formally launched a new converged information and communications technology services platform pitched at 25 to 500 seat installations, formed partly from its August 2012 acquisition of Brit cloud platform provider ThinkGrid.
Named Ceano, the platform will be hosted in Colt's own datacentres, underpinned by its European fibre network, and has been designed to help the firm's channel partners offer a full range of network, comms and cloud services to their customers.
Services available at launch include: virtual servers and desktops; security and infrastructure management; communication and collaboration applications, and voice and internet access. Partners will have the opportunity to add their own services and solutions if so desired.
The launch also means the end of the road for the ThinkGrid name, which will now begin to disappear in favour of Ceano, according Colt EVP Francois Eloy, who said the new branding was developed to reflect a perceived need to make Ceano stand out from the wider Colt empire.
This also means that Colt will be on the hunt for new partners to come on board and augment its existing partners, many of which are still more keenly-focused on comms sales.
"We plan to add 25 franchisees across Europe doing between €20m and €40m in revenues. We have also identified a need to add cloud distributors and VARs," he said.
Distribution partners, who will operate on both a pan-European and a localised value-add model, will be named in the coming weeks, Eloy said. Note that Colt engaged with Magirus in 2011 – prior to its acquisition by Avnet – to supply its vCloud offering.

Video: A Wedding in Jeddah
I attended the wedding of my cousin Dr AlBara Mujaddidi on the 26th of December 2009, the weather was good (for Jeddah) and we had a good time.
Me being an amature photographer and videographer (I did video his older brother's engagement many years ago) could not resist using my Canon DSLR 500D to video the whole thing, or as much as I could. I took around an hour of video and some photos which did not fill up my 16GB card, but it almost drained my battery, and this was the first time I wished I had an extra battery with me.
I also wished I had brought my monopod, and I wished I had something like the zacuto finder and shoulder support… And when I watched the video I wished I had more manual control over the video, something the owners of 500D's have been begging Canon to do for months, but overall, I think I did a good job 🙂 but the wish list keeps growing as any photography enthusiast knows.
There was music, there was traditional dancing, and there was good food.
I wish the newly weds, both fresh out of medical school, the best personally and professionally.
Here is the video, I hope you enjoy it. I recommend watching it in high definition.

Robinson twins could reconsider Oregon commitment
If Oregon football coach Chip Kelly is indeed leaving for the NFL, a pair of local recruits may reconsider their commitment to the Ducks.
Twins and two-sport standouts Tyree and Tyrell Robinson of Lincoln High have been verbally committed to Oregon since September. But on Friday, following Oregon's victory in the Fiesta Bowl and continued talks of Kelly's likely departure, Tyree Robinson said he and his brother may change their position on the Ducks.
"If he leaves, I think my brother and I are going to take same visits and explore our options," Tyree Robinson said when reached by phone Friday morning.
The twins, both rated four-star football recruits by Rivals.com, committed to Oregon with the intent to play football and basketball for the Ducks.
"Chip Kelly wanted his guys to play both sports. He didn't mind," Tyree Robinson said. "That was the main factor for me and my brother. I just want to see what happens if he leaves."
Robinson listed Arizona, Notre Dame, USC and Washington as schools the twins would potentially consider if they re-open their recruiting.
"For now," Robinson said, "we're still gonna be Ducks."

ST. LOUIS -- Mike Babcock is confident this season's Red Wings are among the best teams he's coached. One look at the standings will provide all the proof he needs.
Babcock and the surging Red Wings look to continue their push toward the NHL's best record when they visit the lowly St. Louis Blues on Tuesday in the opener of a home-and-home set.
Detroit (50-20-6) hardly looked like the league's best team last month during a 1-8-2 slide from Feb. 7-29. But since then, it has reeled off eight wins in 10 games, clinching its 17th straight playoff berth and 11th Central Division title.
The Red Wings, who lead the NHL with 106 points, seek their third Presidents' Trophy in four seasons.
Pavel Datsyuk led Detroit to a 4-1 win at Columbus on Saturday, scoring short-handed and setting up two power-play goals.
Henrik Zetterberg scored his team-leading 40th goal, and Brian Rafalski added two assists for Detroit, which secured its league-leading 50th victory and became the first team to win at least 50 contests in three consecutive seasons since Montreal did it four years in a row from 1975-79.
"We don't have as many points as the team a couple of years ago, but we've got more depth, we're faster, we play harder and we have the will to win," said Babcock, the Red Wings' coach since 2005-06.
Detroit's depth has helped it boast one of the league's highest-scoring offenses, and Datsyuk is a big reason for that. The sixth-year center, who leads the team with 59 assists and has a career-high 90 points, has 10 goals and eight assists in his last 13 games.
Datsyuk also has three goals and three assists in six games against St. Louis (30-33-12) this season, scoring twice in a 4-1 home win on March 5 that helped Detroit even the season series 3-3-0.
Dominik Hasek, who made 11 saves on Saturday, had 18 in that victory, but is expected to sit out Tuesday because of the flu, meaning Chris Osgood likely will be in net.
Osgood, who is 3-1-0 with a 1.58 goals-against average in his last five starts, is 2-1-0 with two shutouts and an 0.89 GAA in four appearances against the Blues this season.
He was in net for a 5-0 win on Dec. 26 in the Red Wings' lone victory in three games this season at Scottrade Center, where they are 7-3-1 since the start of 2005-06.
St. Louis, however, is 4-5-1 in its last 10 home games, and hasn't played on home ice since beating Los Angeles on March 4.
The Blues went 1-6-2 on their season-high, nine-game road trip, capping it with a 4-3 overtime loss at Chicago on Sunday. Hannu Toivonen made 27 saves for St. Louis, which has just two wins in its last 16 games overall.
"We've competed in every game with the exception of one," Blues coach Andy Murray said. "Our team competes hard on a nightly basis.
"What we need to do is find a way to turn these losses into wins, because our compete level is pretty strong."
With seven games remaining, St. Louis is likely to miss the playoffs for a third straight season - the longest drought in team history.
Toivonen's lone appearance against Detroit was a relief effort on Dec. 26.
Manny Legace, who is 2-8-2 with a 3.20 GAA in his last 13 starts, has posted a 2.76 GAA while starting all six games against the Red Wings this season.
In 28 games against St. Louis, Zetterberg has 14 goals and 32 points - his most against any opponent.

Wofford's Breitenstein named AP All-American
Published: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 13, 2012 at 12:48 a.m.
NEW YORK — Wofford fullback and Payton Award finalist Eric Breitenstein was selected to The Associated Press FCS All-America team released Wednesday.
Breitenstein made his second straight appearance as a first-team All-American. The 230-pound senior fullback ran for 2,035 yards and 19 touchdowns this season.
Breitenstein was named Southern Conference Offensive Player of the Year in 2011 and 2012. He is just the fourth player in conference history to earn the honor in back-to-back seasons. He led the Southern Conference in rushing for the second straight season and his school-record total was the second most in conference history.
Also named to the AP All-American team was Old Dominion quarterback Taylor Heinicke, who had the most prolific passing season in the history of what used to be called Division I-AA. The sophomore from Atlanta passed for 5,076 yards, breaking the record set by the late Steve McNair when he was at Alcorn State in 1994. Heinicke, also a Payton Award finalist, finished with 5,546 yards of total offense, second only to McNair's 5,799.
The Walter Payton Award goes to the top player in FCS and will be handed out Monday night in Philadelphia.

Adventure Design 2.0
by Erekose Tanelorn on Jan.09, 2010, under 4e D&D, Adventure Design 2.0, Advice/Tools, Game Design
For quite some time now I've found the format in which adventure design is presented to be outdated. Sure the Delve format had a large impact in the last few years since its debut in some of Wizards of the Coast's later 3.5 D&D adventures. Even that, however, stuck to the format of a book be it in hard copy or pdf format. Dungeon-a-day.com is actually the most recent example of a very forward thinking designer pushing the bounds of what is possible. Dungeon-a-day.com offers a hyperlinked website with new encounters updated every weekday. The site features fresh new content from the mind of Monte Cook and its presented in a much more modern format.
But where too next? Where can today's modern web tools such as XHTML and HTML5.0 push design forward?
I recently read two very informative articles by two of RPG Blogging's rising stars, Phillipe Menard (aka @ChattyDM) and Dave Chalker (aka @DavetheGame) that explored some of the possible scenarios that set my mind aflame. Here were two popular vocal proponents advocating the same revolution in adventure design that I had been craving.
High Level Concept
Adventure Design 2.0 would feature some of today's leading web application concepts to allow high quality content presented with the individual user (a DM in this case) in mind. Allowing that content to be dynamic, personalized, and shared.
Adventures designed to present different forms of media together in an application that allowed DMs to purchase access to an adventure that would be customized to their needs and allow for the DM to further modify and share their own customizations. The media incorporated, from maps and graphics, to text and formatted stat-blocks could be tailored to the DMs individual campaigns all in one tool.
Possible Features
Modular adventure content that can be customized and shared is a rather broad concept but some of the features that one can imagine include:
- System of Choice (4e, 3.5, PFRPG, OSRIC, etc) which would update all rules content in a saved adventure instance to that system.
- Adjustable scalable levels which could also update rules content and be saved.
- Customizable monsters that can be imported, exported, and saved.
- Customizable NPCs that can have additional notes or hooks added.
- Customizable treasure in the form of traditional loot or packet formats.
- Larger supporting images or links to external graphics.
- Hyperlinked content internally within the site or externally for referenced rules.
- Maps that allow you to hover over sections and display a quick synopsis or click to open the related encounter.
- The ability to share the customizations with other members.
One of the difficult pieces of the puzzle centres around profitability. An enterprise like this would need serious capitol to succeed. Not only would you need to hire authors, artists, editors, and cartographers, but also web developers and the system to support it.
One particular model of financing such an endeavor would be around a subscriptions or around access purchases. So someone could buy an instance of a particular adventure for 4e at 1st level and gain access to the system for that adventure. Future adventure purchases could be added to the purchasers account and offered similar to how some game companies market download-able content.
In addition those customers could then be migrated to a subscription model where they gain access to a set number of adventures in a particular period and potentially to more advanced tools such as customization and sharing.
Dynamic Content
One of the features that was listed above that sounds the most intriguing is the customizability of content. If you look at the current list of WotC's Dungeon adventures or Goodman Game's DCCs you can see that there are adventures for many levels and I'm sure all levels will be covered eventually. But what if you like one adventure that is a couple of levels above the heads of your party.
Customizing that adventure is often left in the hands of the DMs often with no pointers from the authors. What if the adventure were written with a range in mind (similar to LFR/Pathfinder Society scenarios) that automatically updated the difficulty of the adventure.
Perhaps the adventure that really fits in a DM's campaign is one from a system that their group does not use. Sure DMs could spend the countless hours converting that adventure to their system of choice but what if the adventure was already built with the appropriate monster stats, treasures, etc.
Even beyond altering adventures by overall settings what if a DM's campaign features a specific set of villains such as the Order of the Emerald Claw or the Purifiers? A suite of tools could be available to import Monster Builder files and allow DMs to replace the opponents in a featured adventure, touch up encounter information, and make notes all without the difficult work of redesigning the whole thing.
In the grand scheme this is an immense idea and I hope to continue expanding on this little bit of brainstorming. Already I can picture user interfaces, data structures, and tools or modules that I'd want to build. Yes I'm more the guy who can design the system than write the adventure or draw the illustrations and maps.

I'm actually amazed no one has built this yet. I originally had the idea back in 2004 while reading an EN World thread. Clark Peterson made a comment to the effect of PDFs not taking full advantage of the electronic medium. He likened it to a film version of a novel by showing someone sitting and reading the book aloud.
I mapped out all kinds of ideas, but between being too busy with work & young kids, plus various people looking like they "got it" and could get something out before I could. Then the industry started to nosedive and then utterly dried up after the 4e announcement while we waited for OGL 2 (and then later the GSL). Along with the fact that I've been terrible about actually finishing projects I start, I never got around to actually doing anything.
But about a month ago things aligned to finally get things off the ground with wrapping up one of the many attempts I started but abandoned. I'm hoping to have the first adventure out in a few months. It's a different direction than what you point towards (which sounds similar to something Dire Kobold tried years ago, but improved as all they really did was produce custom PDFs adjusted to your preferred level and still far from taking full advantage of the electronic medium). I'm actually going more of a downloadable app rather than web-based direction. But we'll see how well it pans out soon.
Also, depending on what licensing avenues you want to pursue, I know the GSL prohibits any website, so it might be tricky if you want to go the website route with the GSL. Also using the OGL and GSL together is a tricky road. And I've been personally iffy on the "mechanics can't be copyrighted, so do what you want" route.
But it's great to see people finally getting it and talking about the true potential of rpg e-publishing. Personally once someone finally pushes the limits, the community can finally see how electronic products can actually be far better than books. The PDF "book wanna-bes" are the 8-Tracks of publishing.
January 9th, 2010 on 8:33 am
0One Games do something similar to this with many of their PDfs, and I'd say they're the company who are really at the forefront of what it possible with PDF technology. Take a look at their single encounter Desecrated Temple (http://0onegames.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=169), for example. You can alter the encounter difficulty with a click and the text, stats and traps alters accordingly. You can change the appearance of the graphics (open/close doors, etc) all withing a single PDF product!
the question is though whether this is really what we want – GM's I've spoken to about this had said it's "too fiddly" even though the alternative is doing it all by hand. Go figure

I was going to work on something like a "Cartesian wiki" where an adventure could be written in the popular wiki format with the top-level being a 2-D Cartesian map. But only 2 things got in my way:
1. the complexity of writing / balancing adventures in 4e
2. time
There are also a few questions to ask yourself:
- Why a web application? It would introduce operating costs and complicates the design of the application. Perhaps something built with a cross-platform windowing toolkit and OpenGL would be easier and more functional.
- Why does it have to be expensive to produce? From my observations when I was planning out such a project, it could potentially be a two-person job at most. One to handle UI/OpenGL and the other to do data/business logic. If you have time to kill, a single programmer should be able to do it.
- The data format would be interesting. XML? Do you store images or other binary data embedded or compress everything in a package?
If there is interest from other programmers or from the community at large, I could certainly try and take up the task. I just don't think I can do it alone and make progress in any reasonable amount of time. However with a little help from interested people (programmers, DM's experienced with writing published adventures and familiar with multiple RPG systems) we could probably whip something up.

@Ken Marable – I've definitely been hearing a lot of grumblings about the lack of innovation in RPG PDFs for quite some time now. I think I remember seeing Clark's post at some point. I'll have to look up Dire Kobold as I don't think I've seen their work. I've seen 0One Game's Dungeon Tile Designer before which was a real eye opener for what is possible within the PDF format.
The choice of web-based direction is partly due to personal level of knowledge. Its what I know best and can be completely cross-platform. But its also because of the growth of cloud computing, software as a service, and other intriguing movements within application development that intrigue me.
Regarding licensing that is true I'm not sure entirely where I'd go there. It is definitely an important consideration in the overall scheme. I know that Wolfgang Baur has been successful with the "mechanics can't be copyrighted" route with Kobold Quarterly. As far as I know everything published in their magazine and online has been acceptable to WotC's lawyers. I'd doubt that he could continue for as long without them noticing especially given what a big name he is in the industry.
I wish you luck in your endeavor and will have to check it out.
@greywulf – I've seen 0One Game's Dungeon Tile Designer (http://0onegames.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=184) but not their encounter products like Desecrated Temple. I'll be picking that up post haste. While I think that many GMs might be reluctant to try out some of these more customizable tools it may be a niche of the small market for now. Other web based tools like Dungeon Mastering's DMTools (http://tools.dungeonmastering.com) are growing in popularity.
@j_king – A wiki is a great format and certainly the adventure structure would exist with similar considerations in place. Things like the dynamic tools, graphics, hover-over short glossary entries, etc push it out of that medium.
Those are definitely good questions. I'll admit that a web app is closer to what I know. I've not worked with OpenGL or other cross-platform coding so I'm not aware of the capabilities. Definitely something to research though.
With data format I was thinking XML initially because it would allow for import and export easily. Export a creature you want to tweek, drop it in WotC's Adventure Tools, change, then drop it back into the adventure. My core skills though lie in PHP and MySQL so I was thinking in those lines.
I'll definitely drop you a line via email in the next few days.

I would like to contribute to making a open standard for this, but I don't know where to begin.
May 24th, 2010 on 5:38 pm
Ive had similar issues with wanting a idea and a way to automate it as a attempt at this ive created a series of tables and concept guides for it on my blog, maybe they will help you all out. While they don't automate a lot, they have helped me teach new people how to roll with games and they do help me automate some of the processes behind it. Sadly i lack any understanding of programming so I'd have no ability to turn it into an actual program. Mostly it was geared towards 3.X edition DND, but my overall concepts are probably versatile enough for others. http://d20vault.blogspot.com/2010/02/creative-design.html http://d20vault.blogspot.com/2009/10/dnd-game.html

The directions below provide you with instructions about how to set your card to deliver your photos and videos to your iPhone or iPad, an online sharing site such as Picasa, Eye-Fi View and your computer. This will consist of four major steps. First you configure your card to send photos to your iPad/iPhone, add an online sharing site, enable Eye-Fi View and finally setting delivery to your computer.
* It is important to note that you will also need to be sure to have the Eye-Fi app for iOS installed on your iPhone or iPad in order to receive photos on your device.
* It is important to note that you will also need to be sure to have the Eye-Fi app for iOS installed on your iPhone or iPad in order to receive photos on your device.
Enabling Eye-Fi Direct Mode provides you with the freedom to send photos and videos directly to your Apple iOS device. By enabling Eye-Fi Direct Mode, your Eye-Fi card will broadcast a pre-defined wireless network that your iOS device can use to receive photos and video from the card. The card will only broadcast this network when no other known wireless network is available in order to conserve your camera's battery life. In order to make use of Eye-Fi Direct Mode on your Apple iOS device you will need to be sure you have the following before you begin.
Setting up Eye-Fi Direct Mode involves updating the Eye-Fi Center software and your Eye-Fi Card firmware if necessary, pairing your card to your iOS device and deploying your Eye-Fi Card Direct Mode network. Thereafter, whenever your card has media to transfer it will either make use of an existing Wi-Fi network or deploy its direct mode network that your iOS device can use to receive media from your Eye-Fi card via the Eye-Fi App for iOS.
Your Eye-Fi Card and iOS device have been paired. The next step is to enable Direct Mode for your Eye-Fi card. Continue to Part II to set this up.
Note: Your Eye-Fi card will create a Direct Mode network only when there are no other known networks for your card to join. If you wish to setup Direct Mode while in range of a configured network, please remove this network from your card before continuing.
If you have iOS5, skip to Part IV below. If you are running iOS4, continue to Part III below.
When your card has photos ready to be transferred and there are no other known networks for your card to join, your Eye-Fi card will create a Direct Mode network. All you need to do is connect your iOS device to the Eye-Fi Card Direct Mode Network (described below) to start receiving photos on your iOS device. If you are within range of a configured wireless network your card will to use that network instead of deploying its Direct Mode network.
If you removed your Wi-Fi network from your card in Part II, you can now re-add it to the card. The card will use the Wi-Fi network when it's in range, and Direct Mode when the network is not in range.
It is important to understand that if other Wi-Fi networks are available, your iOS device will most likely connect to these even if your Eye-Fi card deploys its network. If this is the case, you will need to manually connect to the Eye-Fi Card network before transfers via Direct Mode can be received by your iOS device. Only one device can connect to the Direct Mode network at a time. If you have an iPhone and iPad make sure only one device is attempting to connect to the network at a time.
To add an online sharing site to your card:
Launch Eye-Fi Center
Click the Settings gear icon to open the Settings panel.
Click the "Photos" tab

2014 Insurance Legislation Summary
(All legislation takes effect July 1, 2014 unless otherwise noted)
Department of Insurance Legislation:
- Amending Title 41, Chapter 54, Idaho Code - House Bill 358 This legislation amends Title 41, Chapter 54, Idaho Code, dealing with Risk Based Capital (RBC) to align Idaho law with NAIC Model RBC Laws. Specifically, it revises definitions to include fraternal benefit societies and hospital and professional service corporations licensed by the Director of the Department of Insurance as entities subject to the RBC report filing requirement. It broadens the scope of the existing early warning trigger for a life insurance company and newly added health organization to file an RBC plan with the Director when there is a negative trend. The legislation also clarifies the confidential nature and privacy protection of RBC reports and related information filed with the Director by insurance companies and other entities. (Effective January 1, 2015.)
Other Insurance-Related Legislation:
- Amending Idaho Code § 41-6105 - House Bill 475
This bill requires that the Idaho Health Insurance Exchange (Your Health Idaho) allow anonymous shopping and not
require identifying information until the customer is ready to submit an application for purchase. It also
provides that the exchange application process contain a warning regarding potential repayment of premium
reductions to the Internal Revenue Service if income information was underestimated.
- Amending Idaho Code § 19-854 - House Bill 512
This legislation provides that participation in the Idaho Health Insurance Exchange (Your Health Idaho) does
not result in a presumption of indigency in regard to the Public Defender System.
- Repealing Idaho Code sections in Titles 41 and 72 - Senate Bill 1244
This legislation repeals a number of historical sections of the Idaho Code dealing with the State Insurance
Fund, including Idaho Code § 41-1618. This allows the State Insurance Fund to operate as an insurance company
as was intended in significant 1998 amendments.
- Amending Idaho Code § 72-301 and adding new § 72-301A - Senate Bill 1252
This legislation identifies the acceptable securities to be deposited and maintained in a custodial account
where an employer may become self-insured with the approval of the Industrial Commission. It also creates a
fund and mechanism to handle security deposits made per Idaho Code § 72-301 retained to secure any future
workers' compensation claims of a liquidated insurance carrier. This legislation also creates a new section
to address an alternate method of demonstrating security for workers' compensation payment for employers that
have a cost-reimbursement contract with the federal government.
- Amending Idaho Code § 41-3608 - Senate Bill 1269
This legislation provides an option to the Department of Insurance to authorize the Idaho Insurance Guaranty
Association to provide claims handling services for "run-off insurers" as defined in the bill.
- Adding new Idaho Code § 6-1014 - Senate Bill 1355
This legislation recognizes that the Affordable Care Act sets forth quality metrics and permits those metrics
to be used for reimbursement purposes but clarifies that measures created by the Affordable Care Act and by
insurers cannot be used to establish the standard of care in any community in Idaho. It affirms current law
that such standards are established in Idaho, as they always have been, and that a health care practitioner
can be held liable to a patient if he or she fails to meet the standard of care in the community in which the
care is provided.
- Affecting Idaho Code § 49-1210 - Senate Bill 1348
In 2003, the legislature passed S1010, which amended Idaho Code § 49-1210 and
removed a requirement that the Department of Transportation link proof of
financial responsibility records to vehicle registration
records rather than to just the driver records. The intention then was to reinstate the requirement in 2009.
In the 2009 legislative session, the deadline was extended to June 30, 2014, with a requirement for annual
reporting to transportation committees of the legislature on progress. As the system improvements are still
not able to do the cross-reference, this bill effects a further extension until June 30, 2017, or until the
system is certified as operational, whichever occurs first.
Note: These brief summaries are not intended to fully explain, interpret or analyze the referenced legislation. These summaries are intended solely as a reference to legislation changes affecting the business of insurance that may be of interest to the public. Persons with an interest in any of the items noted above should review the actual bills.

Gospel of Mark
Gospel of Mark Dreams, Hopes, and Plans Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter:Verse)
Quote #4
Those who are ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of them the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. (NRSV 8:38)
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. (KJV 8:38)
The vision of the future here shows Jesus returning with angels and doling out justice. This has yet to happen, but plenty of people think it's on its way.
Quote #5
And he said to them, "Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see that the kingdom of God has come with power." (NRSV 9:1)
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. (KJV 9:1)
Is Jesus saying that kingdom of God will arrive within the first generation of followers? What are we supposed to make of this, thousands of years later, when it still hasn't happened? How is it different for people reading Mark as divine revelation and those reading it as literature?
Quote #6
What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others. (NRSV 12:9)
What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. (KJV 12:9)
We're pretty sure the owner's destruction of the vineyard is a reference to the destruction of Jerusalem's temple by the Romans in the year 70. But when will the transfer of the vineyard occur and who are these "others" One possible answer: the transfer will happen when Jesus returns and these "others" are his followers (check out 13:26-27). But feel free to disagree as long as you've got the texts to back up your opinion.

(Can be kept for 2–3 days.)
Serves 12
Blue County's Scott Reeves is as skilled in the kitchen as he is onstage. In the Sept. 24 issue of Country Weekly, Scott whipped up a family favorite, Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake. Scott and his Blue County partner, Aaron Benward, talked with Country Weekly about the communal joy they get from cooking a fabulous meal.
"After [my family and I] moved to Nashville," says Scott, "people brought over food to welcome us here. So now, every weekend, we go to someone else's house on the street for a bonfire and to share a meal and enjoy each other's company."
Aaron, a grilling expert, picked up his cooking interest from his dad. "He loved to cook outdoors," Aaron recalls. "My pet peeve is if I get the meat too dry. That's when I haven't done my job."
And for you novice cooks, Aaron advises, "You don't want to try a recipe that is too difficult right away. Just choose a recipe that looks easy, buy the ingredients and follow the instructions. Once you've made a dish and see how easy it is, you'll have a real sense of accomplishment."
Enjoy this recipe for Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake that's become a Christmas tradition at the Reeves household.
From the Sept. 24, 2007, issue of Country Weekly.

- Roadshow: Downtown San Jose gets bike lanes
It's not Halloween, but San Jose is scaring the daylights out of Hedding Street residents with the specter of bicycle lanes that will eliminate two of the four lanes of traffic and -- the real hobgoblin -- most on-street parking.
But like the monster under the bed, the city's bicycle-friendly makeover might turn out to be not so bad. We hope folks will give it a chance.
Unless streets become more bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly, cycling and walking to work or school will remain a novelty. And a few bike-friendly streets don't help. You need a network to actually get from here to there. Just a few dangerous blocks will discourage cyclists who value their lives.
Hedding will be an east-west complement to the north-south bike lanes recently drawn through some downtown streets, eliminating lanes of traffic. They make streets feel more residential by slowing traffic. Taking away parking is another story, and we sympathize; parking around the corner can be a hassle. But the city can't build flyovers. Adapting existing streets is the only way to go.
Mass transit systems struggle in Silicon Valley because there's not an enough of a network to make them convenient. Making streets bicycle-friendly is a lot easier, cheaper and healthier. It's a great goal, and we hope the city can achieve it.

Publisher's Description
Why is the city a battleground of hostile principalities and powers? What is the mission of the church in the city? How can the church be supported in accomplishing that mission? These are the questions that Robert Linthicum treats in his comprehensive and probing biblical theology of the city. In the Bible the city is depicted both as a dwelling place of God and his people and as a center of power for Satan and his minions. The city is one primary stage on which the drama of salvation is played out. And that is no less the case at the end of this pivotal century as megacities become the focal point of most human activity and aspirations around the world. This is a timely theology of the city that weaves the theological images of the Bible and the social realities of the contemporary world into a revealing tapestry of truths about the urban experience. Its purpose is to define clearly the mission of the church in the midst of the urban realities and to support well the work of the church in the urban world.
