Dragon Issue 48: April 1981
part 2/2
Up on a soapbox: Two rants under this ageis this issue.
When choosing a DM, be choosy considers the problem of finding a fun game to play in. How do you spot a good GM before you start playing, and so avoid wasting time with a crap or creepy group. This article gives you lots of good hints that are still relevant today, and can also be pretty easily turned round for when a GM is assessing prospective players. Not even vague wishy washy ones either, but some tight quantifiable guidelines. So I like it quite a lot, and have added it to my list of thing I intend to use next time it comes up.
What is gaming's role in life continues the morality in fantasy debate. And is dull. After the cool of the last one, this is rather a letdown. I shall say no more.
Minarian Legends: The Mercenary ships of minaria. Pirates, privateers, and navies, plus the obligatory named character in charge of them, the Bilge Rat. Good guy, bad guy, not really either guy? You ought to know the formula of these entries by now.
The floating island mission: This month's module is a second Top Secret one. Can you thwart the evil plans of the mysterious Dr Yes? You'd better be considerably above starting ability to do so. (see, vagueness like this this is why D&D is so much more friendly for casual GM's. The level system makes it easy to create pregenerated adventures for characters of different power levels, with an easy gauge. Which means you can continue to use modules beyond the starting level) The underwater fun continues, as you'll have to do some diving to infiltrate the island. And then you get to face Bruce Nee, Chuck Morris, and "Sweetbeam" Leotard, the good doctors amusingly named henchmen. And I think that's enough spoilers for now. A pretty decent adventure overall.
Carrying a heavy load? Mules. The benefits and drawbacks to bringing an extra loadbearer such as this into the dungeon with you. Encumbrance is a bitch, and there's always something extra you wish you'd brought. But the more you have, the more it costs, the more you're slowed down, and the more you have to lose if things go wrong. Really, It'd be better to get yourself a bag of holding as soon as possible. Then you can laugh and stroll past all the low level adventurers struggling with their mules. Also introduces Black Bart to us, who I vaguely remember, so I think we'll see him again in the future.
Giants in the earth: This month's statistical impossibilities by the D&D rules as written are Ursula le guins Sparrowhawk, and Andrew Offut's Tiana Highrider.
Sage advice: Can A dual classed character switch back and advance in a previous class if they have high enough stats? (no)
Can clerics and paladins heal themselves (yes)
Do spellcasters get XP for casting spells. (only if they actually accomplish something with that casting)
Can a neutral good bard backstab (if it's in a good cause, just like any thief.)
Does power word kill destroy the bodies of the creatures it kills? (Entirely up to you. But yeah, it does kill in a way that prevents ressurection. Ahahahahaha)
Can magic resistance negate magic weapon's plusses? (no)
Instant adventures: Random plothooks, random plothooks. We can always do with more random plothooks. Spin the wheel, roll the dice, and lets see what fate'll throw at the players tonight.
Leomund's tiny hut: Once again, Len pushes at redesigning the system, this time looking at balance in encounter design and treasure awards. Which again turns into 7 pages of complicated math that have some good ideas that would be refined and used again in later editions, but are currently way too clunky. I really ought to give him more credit for doing this stuff, so the rest of us don't have too anymore.
Figuratively speaking reviews 21 mini's in 2 pages, which means there isn't much detail on each one. Once again, the picture shading is too bad for me to make my own judgments. Which is a shame.
GenCon South: A review of the con's new franchise. (with gencon east to follow in july) Not as big as the main one, this still had a quite extensive and exciting tournament schedule, headed up by the Champions of DM's, Frank Mentzer, and administered by the TRS-80 computer program they've been talking about in recent issues. Seems pretty positive, and they intend to do it again next year. Soon there'll be gencon's everywhere.
New orders for Russian Campaign: The wargame gets the Historically Accurate treatment in this article, with the author claiming the revised figures he's giving are the real ones from the official documents. Maybe, but will this make the game more fun to play, or unbalance it further in favour of the RL winners? I couldn't say, having never seen the game. As ever, clarification on matters like this would be welcomed.
Adding airpower options: More Russian Campaign stuff, this optional rule increases the randomness of the amount of airpower each side has. Again, I can't comment on if that would improve the game or not.
Want to influence who wins the Origins awards this year? Fill in and send in this form!
Reviews: Asteroid is a quick game of saving the earth from an approaching, well, you know. (I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep) Individual games may be short, but the amount of customisability in both character and adversary design should keep replays interesting for a while.
Titan is a fantasy wargame, that may be cheaply produced, but contains a sophistication in rules design that is better than many games produced on a far bigger budget.
Space fighters is a game of star warsesque dogfights, albeit with the serial numbers filed off. Like the film, the games action style is strongly reminicent of WWII dogfight games. It also seems to please the reviewer. Frankly, I would prefer my reviews more critical. It's more fun to read, and gives me more to comment on.
Pinsom, wormy, jasmine and fineous are all here. Quite the turnout. I guess they needed all the artists for the crossover issue.
Who's bright idea was it to put the ad on the back page upside down? They've been doing that quite frequently, but I never got round to mentioning it. Were they that way on the original mags, or is this scanning wierdness?
The upward slope in overall quality continues again. Kim's stronger hand on the editing process seems to be resulting in a better overall quality of articles. How long is it before he takes over again?

Dragon Issue 49: May 1981
part 1/2
96 pages. Speak of the devil. (I wasn't looking ahead when I wrote last issue's postscript, honest) This issue is the one where Gary steps down as publisher of the magazine. Jake Jaquet moves up to fill his place, while Kim Mohan becomes editor in chief. Which mean's Gary's taking his hands off the reins of the company and going off to LA to negotiate with ghastly executives, and the D&D cartoon will be along soon, if my memory serves me correctly. Oh god. I look forward to seeing how that's treated in the magazine. (particularly in light of the roasting they gave bakshi's LotR) Should be amusing.
In this issue:
Dragon Rumbles: Oohh. Looks like their circulation is now exceeding 150,000. Quite a growth from their humble beginnings. But they still aren't immune to delays. Nor are they ignoring the competition. It's a big responsibility, running a magazine of this size. Lets hope Kim and co are up to it.
Out on a limb: A letter with some quite substantial (and quite well substantiated) complaints directed at Len Lakofa's Archer article from issue 45. They counter with the same old canard, that it's all optional, D&D is not realistic, and D&D halflings are not LotR hobbits. Doesn't come off very well this time Kim.
A letter from someone writing a book on miniatures painting, asking for ideas and opinions to help him develop it further. I wonder if anything'll come of this.
A letter praising the magazine's recent increases in quality, and also in accesability to newcomers. The hobby needs new blood to expand, which means it needs to be easy for new people to pick up gaming. Which means keeping the number of articles using impenetrable gamespeak and discussing tedious rules minutinae down.
A letter complaining at the size of many recent articles, wondering why they don't break them up into smaller parts over several issues. They'd get more complaints if they did it that way, trust me. Plus lots of other commentary.
A letter praising them for publishing top secret modules, and asking people to send in more articles for it, as he likes the game, and knows it's quite popular in his area. As they've said before, they can't publish what they don't get.
In the interest of fairness: An article about arbitrary and bad GM decisions in tournament play, and how more needs to be done to prevent it. Cue lots of stuff about establishing standards, and objective scoring systems for acts that are easily adjudicated, as well as establishing what behaviour should lead to instant disqualification and ejection from the tournament. Not that even the strictest rules'll prevent a bad GM from making it a crap experience. But you've gotta be seen to be doing something. Once again, the serious problems with the tournament playstyle are thrown into sharp relief, as the comprises needed to make it work strike directly at the unique strengths of tabletop roleplaying as an entertainment form, openended storytelling and story creation where everyone wins as long as they have fun. This sucks.
The slave pits revisited: More thoughts on the A series, and tournament modules in general. The author reccomends that in future years they design the modules for smaller groups of players, as that reduces the difficulties in social dynamics, allowing groups of people who already know each other to join as a team and avoid the odds that your team will have some random asshat put in it who ruins things for everyone else. It then goes into a load of mathematics and logicistical discussion, proving that this would work better than the current system. Which is also tedious.
It isn't that easy: Frank Mentzer rebutts the previous article. Training up DM's to the standard needed to apply all your would be rules is not an easy task. Plus, it's hard to predict how many you'll need, particularly with the speed the hobby is expanding at. If you want to help with this, apply to become a GM at the next con you go too. We can always use the help. Ahh, reality, always getting in the way of our best laid plans.
God, that's a lot of cons coming up this year. Bigger and more frequent, the upswing in their popularity continues. Competitions, seminars, tournaments, famous people talking, exclusive stuff, they've got it all.
The samurai: Yes folks, its a second attempt at this class, (honestly. Three witch classes, two alchemist and samurai ones. Can't people come up with something more original) This bears little relation to the OA samurai, being an unarmoured fighter as comfortable with unarmed fighting as with katana, and getting stealth, supernatural illusion powers and psionic ability. Like druids, they have an overarching organization with a limited number of top level characters, so you'll need to fight your former master to get there. Really, they're more monk/ninja variants than fighter ones. But if you can get over that naming disconnect, in terms of rules they are fairly solid, and not too overpowered. (at least, compared to cavaliers, rangers, druids, and the other upper tier classes; they'll still make fighters look like the one trick ponies they are) I wouldn't say no to a player using them if I was running an old skool game.
The rasmussen files: Lots of nasty little new rules this month, mostly revolving around gun fire and its unfortunate concequences. One of those ones that includes lots of random tables to determine just what unpleasant side effects result from your hit location. Which isn't very cinematic, but can be amusingly gruesome, as rolemaster afficionados know. Still, 'tis the kind of thing I would rather not incorporate into my games.
Getting a world into shape: Now this is a fun one. Karl Horak talks about choosing a shape for your world as a whole, be it spherical like earth, an endless flat map, or some kind of more interesting shape, (such as any of the polyhedrons that we use for dice ) and then goes into detail on how to create maps that accommodate these odd geometries. Includes a neat little cut-out that can be used to make your world. Cool stuff. And yet all the canon D&D worlds apart from Ravenloft fell into the bog-standard spherical planet model (although Mystara had it's hollow interior, which added a neat spin to things) What happened? :shakes head: Bloody design by committee. We want weirdness. We want weirdness.
Giants in the Earth: This month's characters without a single below average stat between them are Poul Anderson's Holger Carlsen (now there's a character you'd think could be converted to D&D without any rules breaking, but no. :sighs heavily: ) and Hugi, and T.J. Morgan's Ellide.
Historical names make for better games: Glenn Rahman takes time out from his Divine Right writings to offer a big load of historical names from various cultures, to aid you in naming your characters. Just pick an appropriate culture and roll d20, if you're short of ideas. Much mehness.
Monster Mixing: Adapting D&D monsters to chivalry & sorcery. 23 classic monsters get conversion, including the full range of idiosyncratic fungi, slimes and oozes that were popular back then. Plus two new monsters, the mind thorns, and lemex, get stats for both systems. Pretty decent, as it also goes into some interesting discussion on fitting the monsters together into an ecology, including food chains (umber hulks like to eat ankhegs) Once again we see how other systems were ahead of D&D in quite a few ways. But it'll catch up with a vengance eventually, with the ecology of articles. Come on, any issue now.

You might as well give up that criticism now, because I can tell you you will see more versions of all of those as time goes on.
Remember, these version are years apart and people are creating them based on a(n ostensibly) greater understanding of the rules, and are accessible to a greater number of readers.
I think I remember issue #114 had a version of the witch (and a nudie cover) that I used for a long time.

Old Mother Leary
"Old Mother Leary" was built on the music of a slightly older song, "A Hot Time in the Old Town." Whoever wrote the words for "Old Mother Leary" just dropped the older song's verses and borrowed the melody of the chorus, along with its tagline:
"When you hear dem a bells go ding, ling ling
All join 'round and sweetly you must sing
When the verse am through, in the chorus all join in,
There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight."
Written by Theodore August Metz and Joseph Hayden, "A Hot Time in the Old Town" brought together two musical genres—one old and one new. Metz and Hayden were performers in the McIntyre and Heath Minstrels and part of a musical tradition that dated to the 1820s. Minstrel shows featured white performers in blackface who sang and danced in a style believed typical of African American slaves. The racist parodies unfortunately remained popular in all parts of America into the 20th century, well after slavery was outlawed in the United States during the Civil War.
While the Metz and Hayden song quickly became a minstrel show standard, it was composed along the more modern lines of ragtime music. Ragtime seems to have been developed by traveling piano performers in the South and Midwest. The center of the musical style was Missouri, and the most famous ragtime composer was Texas-born Scott Joplin. Ragtime attached an uneven, ragged rhythm to more traditional march music. The resulting up-tempo, syncopated music became especially popular during the 1890s; thousands of people heard the music for the first time at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.
Ragtime remained popular well into the 20th century, but during the 1920s, jazz replaced ragtime as America's favorite form of popular music.

In recent years, the air quality of the indoor environment is of increasing concern to everyone. Mold and bacteria are recognized health hazards, having been associated with health problems such as allergies, infection and mycotoxin poisoning. We are exposed to many kinds of molds both inside and outside the home.
The exposure is greater in damp or a wet conditions, especially when timely drying out does not have a chance to occur. Of the thousands of moulds that exist, some are known allergens (causing skin, eye and respiratory problems) and a few moulds produce harmful mycotoxins that can cause serious problems. But all moulds, in the right conditions and high enough concentrations, are capable of adversely affecting human health.
Potential health problems can occur when people inhale large enough quantities of airborne mould spores. For some people, however, a relatively small number of mould spores can cause health problems. Infants, children, immune-compromised patients, pregnant women, individuals with existing respiratory conditions and the elderly are at higher risks for adverse health effects from mould. While not all moulds and bacteria are harmful, growth of any microorganisms in occupied space should not be acceptable. The types of moulds in the indoor environment that cause health and comfort problems are usually very different than outdoor. This is one of the reasons why species identification and counts may be useful in a mould investigation.
Stachybotrys chartarum (Black mold)
Species identification allows
- to determine the potential health risks.
Example: certain species of Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium are potential producers of toxins in indoors.
- the type of mold present in the environment to verify an allergy or reaction. Individuals can be allergic to one or more types of mold and to determine which type(s) cause the reaction.
- to trace the probable underlying cause/source for moldiness. Example: Stachybotrys chartarum and Aspergillus versicolor are most common in water-damaged buildings.
- to confirm whether certain discolaration or staining on a surface is mold or not, and if mold which one?
- to avoid confusion with similar molds that may not present a problem. Also, building occupants may need assurance that they were not exposed to molds that may cause health problems.
- to determine the presence/absence of pathogenic airborne spores and their composition and concentrations in situations where occupants complain of ill health but with no obvious visible mold growth. This information could be used in assessing the possibility of hidden mold growth and human exposure.
- to determine if outbreaks of invasive mycoses were due to the construction or demolition activities
- the comparisons of the agents/mold present in different location or at different times.
- to monitor environmental spore contamination from outside sources
- to identify cleaning procedures that may release high concentrations of airborne spores
- to evaluate the efficacy of filters in Air Handling Units.
- to ensure that the correct remediation strategies are used.

Bouncy Horse Gallop
I found an abandoned orange baby pony at roadside on my stop today and introduced him to his new galloping family.[Heidi, 07/12/2015]
Oh how sweet.
According to Dale Bowman of the Chicago Sun-Times, the Bouncy Horse Gallop began when a farmer set a carousel horse into the ground as a marker for a "breather tile line" (I'm not a farmer so I have no idea what that is). Other people started leaving other horses and the line grew, sometimes being decked out in the local high school football teams colors. I've been there twice and plan to go back.[Jim Hantak, 03/27/2013]
Bouncy Horse Gallop
We were driving on the way to Fairbury, hoping we would find the horses, and then all of a sudden, I saw what appeared to be geese off in a field (not uncommon this time of year). As I got closer, we found that they weren't geese, but the plastic horses we had been searching for.[Luke Smucker and Jessica Anderson, 03/05/2012]

This is easy to miss when the corn is up! Fun to see the herd frolicking amongst the green stalks though.[J Nichols, 06/17/2010]
Bouncy Horse Gallop

Skill Level Beginner
Before we start adding footnotes and endnotes to a document you should know a little bit about what they are and when they should be used. You probably seen both before, that is, if you read. One thing that is not tolerated in the writing community is plagiarism, stealing someone else's text is not allowed. But you can reference that text giving credit where credit is due. Now when you do reference another's writing, you can give credit at the bottom of the page where you're referencing it and that's called the footnote. If you prefer, you can throw all these footnotes at the end of your document, putting them all in one place and these are called endnotes.
Adding footnotes or endnotes in Word is a simple task and Word even counts them for you, keeping track of the numbering so that you don't have to. Let's open up the document, we'll click the Open button on your Quick Access toolbar or the Office button and then Open. And we'll go to the lesson 19 folder here where we're going to open up recipes 19 C, gives that one a click and then open it up. So it just another recipe book here, let's move to page 5, and as we scroll past the table of contents, the introduction and so on and eventually we'll arrive at page 5 where we've got a raspberry cheesecake here.
Alright, let's say this recipe actually comes from another book, and we need to give some credit here. Well, all we'll do is click where we want to put in the footnote number and that would be after raspberry cheesecake. So I'm going to click right there. I'll go up to my References tab now. You can see under the Footnote section here, I have endnotes and footnotes that can be inserted. I'm going to click Insert Footnote and automatically that takes you to the bottom of the current page and you can see a superscript one here. The numbering is automatic. This is the first one, so it's number one. Simple as that.
Now the space is actually taken out of your page not out of your margin. If your margins are set to be an inch at the bottom, they stay an inch. So space is actually taken away from your text to create room for this footnote. So let's type in an actual reference here. Actually, I'm going to put it in double quotes, "The big book of cheesecakes" and we'll put in the double quote, comma, "by Hanifa Jaffer." Let's put in her last name here and why don't we just put in the year as well? 1999.
OK. So there it is and as soon as we did that, as soon as we started entering this information, you can see that up above we've got some buttons here for moving to and fro through the the actual footnotes. So Next Footnote here, if you can see, if we click down, allows us to move from footnote to footnote. Now we only have one so we'll use this actually once we get another one in here if we wanted to. So we'll just click up here in the document itself. If I scroll back up, you can see there is a superscript one up here and as I hover over it, you can see that I'm getting a pop-up of that actual footnote that shows up at the bottom of my page.
Alright, maybe we should add one more just to see what happens next. So we'll go past this one over to the low-fat lemon cheesecake and we'll say that one came from the same book. So we click after cheesecake, we go up to Insert Footnote right here. Give that a click and you can see it's actually number two and we'll enter the exact same text. "By Hanifa Jaffer" and we'll put in the year, 1999.
OK, so now this might be handier here, the Next Footnote button, when we click the drop-down, allows us to move between our footnotes. So go to the previous one, the next one. Just to move around through our document, so there we are on page 5. All right, as we click on page 6 and scroll down you can see the superscript two that shows up after low-fat lemon cheesecake and there's our little pop up. Kind of neat stuff. So that so footnote works. Endnotes are very similar and usually just differ by where they're located, at the end of the document by default.
Usually, you decide to go with all footnotes or all endnotes and not combine them just to avoid confusion. So let's open up another document. We'll go to our Office button and click Open, navigate to the lesson 19 folder right where we were. This time are going to open up a recipe use 19D. So give that one a click and click Open. So the same document, but we don't have our footnotes in here. So if we scroll down to page 5 where we saw our raspberry cheesecake here. You can click after raspberry cheesecake.
This time we're going to go to our References tab and insert an endnote and when we do, the one shows up. It's actually a Roman numeral one and if you look where we are here on the page down at the bottom left corner. It says were on page 30 of 30 at the end of out document. So again, we would type in a reference.
There we go, and now if we wanted to, we can move around our footnotes and our endnotes just by going here. Now, we only have one so next endnote and previous endnote is not going to move us anywhere. But if we do go back to page 5, I'll scroll all the way up here to page 5. You can see what's happened. It's got the Roman numeral one. So that's all there is to inserting an endnote. The numbering's a little bit different by default, and it's at the last page of our document by default as well.
We could take a look at some of the options if we wanted to, and we do that by clicking this little dialogue launcher here in the Footnotes group. So we'll click that, Endnotes is selected, because that's what we're working with right now. You can see the number format is Roman numerals. We can adjust this for footnotes just the same, if we're using footnotes but because it's endnotes, let's move it here to a different format. We'll do 1, 2, 3. We could use custom marks if we wanted to. If we don't like just showing the number, that's a problem. Start at number one continuous or we can have it starting over at each page.
That's up to you and we'll apply these changes to the entire document. So when we click Apply, look at that. It's a little bit different. There's our one and back on page 5 where we're referencing our cheesecake, we see the number one, not the Roman numeral one. Alright, one other option that's kind of cool, if we click this dialogue launcher again, is the option if we wanted to convert our endnotes to footnotes we could. Clicking the Convert button here allows us to covert all our endnotes to footnotes.
Clicking OK would do exactly that. When I click close, you can see now it is actually on page 5 of 30, not on page 30 of 30 and it is a footnote now, not an endnote. So if you decided halfway through, wow, you've got all these endnote in there, you want them to be footnotes instead, it's an easy conversion. Same thing goes for converting from footnotes to endnotes. So remember, don't plagiarize. Use footnotes or endnotes to give credit to those who deserve it.

Phosphorylation by Sky1p promotes Npl3p shuttling and mRNA dissociation
Mammalian SR proteins are currently thought to function in mRNA export as well as splicing. They contain multiple phosphorylated serine/arginine (RS/SR) dipeptides. Although SR domains can be phosphorylated by many kinases in vitro, the physiologically relevant kinase(s), and the role(s) of these modifications in vivo have remained unclear. Npl3 is a shuttling protein in budding yeast that we showed previously to be a substrate for the mammalian SR protein kinase, SRPK1, as well as the related yeast kinase, Sky1. Here we demonstrate that Sky1p phosphorylates only one of Npl3p's eight SR/RS dipeptides. Mutation of the C-terminal RS to RA, or deletion of SKY1, results in the cytoplasmic accumulation of Npl3p. The redistribution of Npl3p is accompanied by its increased association with poly(A)+ RNA and decreased association with its import receptor, Mtr10p, in vivo. We propose that phosphorylation of Npl3p by the cytoplasmically localized Sky1p is required for efficient release of mRNA upon termination of export.(Received November 22 2000)
(Accepted November 27 2000)
Key Words: phosphorylation; RNA binding protein; RNA export; serine and arginine-rich protein kinase SRPK; SR protein.

text: Social innovation labs are increasingly popping up and evolving all over the world. They mostly focus on startups and business development around topics such as energy, environment, civic participation or the cities as a laboratories. For an introduction to social innovation read my blog post. Most buzz is often about innovation labs focusing on startups (incubators and accelerators) often sponsored by venture capitalists or companies with a clear for-profit focus. But a lot is happening outside this scope focusing on people, society, challenges and how new technologies and new form of cooperation can result in change and impact. If you think that this is still at its beginning, you are most probably right, but the innovation lab landscape is changing quickly – just look at the Fablab movement or Google's…Read more

Not only that but with the paper card I received a catalog, which they now inform you that your 10,000 dollar credit card is only to be used for product in said catalog. No where in the initial offer was it stated that this was a membership rather that an actual credit card. I was led to believe this was an official credit card offer like any other you would receive from Chase, Capital One, etc...
Then when you try and call the number given for concerns on you membership, it is impossible to speak with a real person. Help me please!! I feel like an idiot for being led into this scam and would like real results so this does not happen to any one else. Thank you.

I have received these letters in the mail myself several times, so I understand some of the concerns everyone is expressing. Sean B. from Louisiana on the other hand, you need to read things a little closer before you get upset thinking you got ripped off.
The letters from Union Workers Credit Services clearly state that they have no bank affiliation, that Visa and Mastercard are unaffiliated with their offer, and the $10,000 credit line is only for merchandise from UWCS.
Most of your complaints were addressed in your initial letter. Each letter I have received from them had the same information in it, so it's not like this is something new.

But lets all really read the fine print. It says "Credit amount referenced herein shall NOT BE CONSTRUED TO FUNCTION AS ANY TYPE OF MULTI-PURPOSE CREDIT CARD and is EXCLUSIVELY applicable for credit purchases from UWCS".
Gee, now what does all the mean? Means its NOT A CREDIT CARD and means you can't use it for anything else but buying from UWCS.

Emmanuel Jal, a former Sudanese child soldier, recently delivered the keynote speech at the 2012 Rotary International Peace Symposium in Bangkok, Thailand. World peace is one of Rotary International's core missions, and Jal's speech was especially significant because of how he turned his horrific experience into peace advocacy that is touching people around the world.
After murdering Jal's mother and most of his family in the country's civil war, the Sudan People's Liberation Army forced him to fight as a soldier at the age of nine. For three years, Jal witnessed atrocities and experienced horrors while trying to escape Sudan's bloody civil war. A British aid worker found Jal as he sought refuge in the desert and smuggled him into Kenya.
Jal later developed his music talent and quickly became a hip-hop star. Feeling a need to raise awareness about the effects of war and poverty, he decided to use his musical success as a way to tell his personal story. He also has become a peace advocate and shares his message of peace through various international organizations including Amnesty International, Save the Children, UNICEF, the World Food Program, and Christian Aid.
"Peace means different things to people all around the world," said Jal. "Peace is when you leave home and come back safely. Peace is when you have a full stomach. For me, peace is justice, equality, and freedom for all.
"I was at my lowest point as a human being during my escape. I was angry. I wanted to hurt those who killed my family and friends. But I learned to forgive. It's a constant struggle for me. But forgiveness is a path to peace."
Rotary International sponsors student fellowships at Centers for International Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution at seven universities throughout the world. Snowmass Village Rotary is one of 33,000 clubs worldwide, and raises funds for international programs such as these, and also supports nonprofits throughout the Roaring Fork Valley.

Manchester United and Manchester City are eyeing up a move for Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard this summer, according to reports.
The Belgium winger's Stamford Bridge future could be in doubt following his public outburst towards Blues manager Jose Mourinho, following their Champions League semi-final defeat to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
The midfielder was unhappy with the way Mourinho approached the game, insisting that the Blues should've have gone all out for the win instead of playing it safe early on.
And the Manchester duo are expected to be circling the Chelsea star in the hope he is forced out of the club this summer.
Both sides were in the market for Hazard in 2012 before he opted to move to Chelsea instead.
Paris Saint-Germain are also reported to be interested in the 23-year-old, who could be available for around £50million should Mourinho decide to sell.
i've seen the original comments in french and he was never "insisting that the Blues should've have gone all out for the win".This is taking liberties with the truth and does you no service and harms your credibility to report in these terms.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
In addition to his new book, The Unclothed Man in the 35th Century A.D., Dash Shaw also produced a tie-in animated story for the IFC channel. That cartoon, about a spy who goes undercover as an android art model, is now available online in four parts, including an extra fifth video where Shaw and his co-creators talk about the project. The first episode is above. Enjoy. (Note: As someone pointed out in the comments, the video contains nudity and thus may be NSFW, depending upon where you W.)
For more on Shaw, see my interview with him from earlier this month.
May want to point out to the uninitiated that the clip is NSFW, as there is nudity therein. The clip was pretty decent, was unsure how it would translate from the page to the clips, but definitely worth checking out.

I know, since I am one of them.
IP needs to be defended, the OGL, and to a lesser extent the GSL, give a safe harbor, but there are still rules governing IP - the use of images is specifically against the stated OGL content of nearly every work.

I'll admit I defended Pazio here, and criticized WotC when they sent a C&D letter about Masterplan's use of the Compendium.
Mainly because Masterplan added value to the D&DI product, making it more desirable to have an account. Similarly I criticized them when they remove the sale of PDF, since PDFs are still available illegally, just not legally any more.
Where as using images of the Item Cards, reduces the value of the Item Card product, as all that product is, is the images. You give them away the product has no value.
These are two completely different cases, so you can expect different reactions. I believe in protecting your business, in some cases this is done by protecting your IP in other cases protecting your IP actually harms your business.

But it costs the IP holder money to file the claim as well. And there is the fact that the "minion lawyer" (mentioned below) draws an annual income from the company if he is an employee or on retainer- meaning he gets paid whether he wins a dozen lawsuits or never even sends a C&D letter.
Protecting IP is NOT cheap.
And lets not forget, not every IP holder is a big company. A lot is held by individuals (like me, actually- music, sculptures, paintings, commercial designs and a book in progress). And its no cheaper for an individual to protect his IP than it is for a big company. Actually, it is probably more expensive on a case by case basis. (Ask Ani DiFranco how much it costs her to protect her own private record label from pirates.)
Lots of people do and will continue to do so. Most of them will have some kind of legitimate point. Most persons citing a Constitutional safe harbor legitimately- IOW, not just trying to justify their actions, but genuinely engaging in protected forms like a review or satire- win.With Bill S978, the penalties go beyond cash and become felonies. Felonies. All the copyright owner (or, with S978, the government) has to do is tell a minion lawyer to file a complaint and the alleged infringer is now tied up for months defending themselves. Who is going to ever take on that risk to review a product?
Now here's the thing: if your defense is legit, and found to be so, you can actually get court costs. IOW, if your use of someone else's IP is deemed to be Constitutionally protected, your court costs & legal fees get paid by the other side. Its a double edged sword, though. If the Court thinks your use was NOT protected, and that the assertions in your defense were frivolous (IOW, the Court thinks you wasted their time because you knew you were wrong and didn't settle out of court), YOU can be ordered to pay the court costs & fees of the IP holder. That is on top of the penalties the Court finds justified.
Still, the Gov't is not going to pursue people on its own motion unless it is after people infringing on its own IP. The IP holder HAS to be involved.
What people still don't understand is that violation of Copyright law already can be a criminal offense under:
(A criminal action under this section has to be initiated within 5 years of the offending act.)Title 17 Chapter 5 §506
1) In general. — Any person who willfully infringes a copyright shall be punished as provided under section 2319 of title 18, if the infringement was committed —
(C) by the distribution of a work being prepared for commercial distribution, by making it available on a computer network accessible to members of the public, if such person knew or should have known that the work was intended for commercial distribution.
The new bill just ups the penalty, and not by much: United States Code: Title 18,2319. Criminal infringement of a copyright | LII / Legal Information Institute
So here's the takeaway: Odds are pretty good that the computer game companies are not going to do a damn thing about Let's Plays just because of this new bill. The reason is that they aren't doing anything about them right now under current law, which only differs from the proposed bill in severity of punishment.
And does Blizzard really care if you go to jail for 3 years (current law) or 5 years (proposed law)? I don't think so. If they DID care, they'd go after you NOW, then get you again for another offense and get you for 6-10 years (current law) as a repeat offender.

Every rpg company has to decide for itself how to handle ip issues like this. But my feeling is it is generally unwise for rpg companies to issue Cease and desist letters in these sort of cases. This is a small industry and really rpg customers are like a community. Bad feelings spread quickly. Not saying they don't have the right to protect their ip. Just think the fallout doesn't balance out the benefits long term.

Do you think thats normal?
My doc didn't seem concerned, but I'm wondering if you guys ever have seen the babies heart rate this slow? The baby kept moving away from the doppler so I'm wondering if the machine wasn't getting an accurate reading. We had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago that showed the heart rate at 144 BPM.

My high school French is rusty, but serviceable enough to understand the hotel clerk's answer to my question about Dominique Strauss-Kahn: "C'est une catastrophe."
As it happened, we were in Normandy, touring the D-Day beaches, as the sexual assault case against Strauss-Kahn collapsed. So the inspiring tableaus of the landing sites may have had something to do with my defensive reaction to the news.
More precisely: with my defensive reaction to the French reaction to the news. The American cemetery in Normandy contains the graves of 9,387 servicemen who died to liberate France. So perhaps I could be forgiven for bristling more than usual at expressions of Gallic outrage over the barbaric American legal system.
As in Bernard-Henri Levy's Daily Beast post denouncing the "globally observed torture" of Strauss-Kahn's perp walk: "This vision of Dominique Strauss-Kahn humiliated in chains, dragged lower than the gutter -- this degradation of a man whose silent dignity couldn't be touched, was not just cruel, it was pornographic."
This is over the top. But the more I learn about the crumbling case and the prosecution's conduct, the more concerned I have become.
Some have argued that the very fizzling of the case against Strauss-Kahn represents the triumph of the American legal system. William Saletan in Slate: "What the collapse of this case proves is that it's possible to distinguish true rape accusations from false ones -- and that the government, having staked its reputation on an accuser's credibility, diligently investigated her and disclosed her lies. The system worked." Peter Beinart in the Daily Beast: "Whether or not DSK goes free, his case reflects well on American justice. We can hold our heads high."
Not mine. The system worked -- but only after Strauss-Kahn lost one important post and, most likely, his chances for another, even more important one, the presidency of France. Maybe it couldn't happen to a creepier guy, but Strauss-Kahn has been done a terrible disservice. It remains possible that the housekeeper is both liar and victim, but it is looking less and less likely. Either way, the case against Strauss-Kahn cannot be sustained. Her credibility is too shattered.
Prosecutors were too hasty in bringing charges against Strauss-Kahn, then too slow in unraveling -- and exposing -- the problems with his accuser. The argument that they needed to act quickly to prevent his leaving the country is unconvincing. Surely the head of the International Monetary Fund would have been back in the neighborhood soon enough, but after prosecutors had done the necessary homework about their victim.
As to the slowness in discovering and revealing the shakiness of the case, "The minute we realize that our case may be taking a different posture, we run and shout it from the highest mountain," Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon told the Wall Street Journal.
Not exactly. Strauss-Kahn was arrested on May 14. Less than two weeks later, his lawyers wrote to prosecutors warning of "substantial information that would seriously undermine the quality of this prosecution and also gravely undermine the credibility of the complainant." What looked like sleazy defense tactics now seems prescient.
On June 8, the housekeeper acknowledged lying -- about a gang rape, no less -- on her asylum application. It was not until June 30, after discovery and translation of the incriminating conversation with her jailed boyfriend, that prosecutors made their doubts public.
We have, thankfully, a criminal justice system that takes seriously the word of an immigrant chambermaid over that of a powerful international figure. We have, thankfully, a criminal justice system that requires prosecutors to hand over exculpatory evidence. Any time a criminal case is dropped, any time an accused is acquitted at trial, there is the inevitable questioning about the ruin of a reputation. That is an unfortunate but unavoidable cost of an adversarial system. But the cost in this case was pushed unnecessarily high by needlessly aggressive prosecutorial tactics.
C'est une catastrophe.

It appears legislation that would expand and strengthen background checks for gun purchases has the highest chance of passage among several proposals Congress will consider in the coming months. While such a change would not be nearly enough if the country wants to get serious about curbing gun violence, and particularly the type of mass killing seen in Newtown, it would be a significant achievement given the fervor of the gun rights lobby in this country.
Speaking Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said he anticipates legislation to expand background checks will receive broad bipartisan support. This followed news that two Republican and two Democratic senators are working on such legislation - Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., Mark Kirk, R-Ill., Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
Sens. Manchin and Coburn have an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association for their support of gun rights, while Sens. Kirk and Schumer received NRA failing grades. If they find common ground on expanded background checks the resulting legislation is likely to win Senate approval and could build momentum for House authorization as well.
Since 1999 the federal background check system has blocked about 1.7 million gun sales because of identified criminal records, domestic abuse histories, serious mental illnesses and other red-flag issues. Unfortunately, background checks are required only for those purchasing guns from a federally licensed dealer. Gun buyers purchase about 40 percent of firearms at gun shows or from private dealers, without a review. There are no estimates for how many people denied a gun from a dealer turned to these alternatives to get a weapon. The pending legislation is expected to make the background check requirement almost universal.
As Connecticut's Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy noted in a press briefing Monday, the vast majority of NRA members and gun owners support background checks for anyone wishing to purchase a gun. The NRA is out of touch in opposing even this common-sense reform.
Sen. Coburn is reportedly insisting on an exception for firearms passed along in families. That's reasonable. Less palatable is Sen. Coburn's insistence that the bill not include a national gun registry to track guns and gun owners. Such resistance is based on irrational fears of the government using a registry to seize weapons and monitor gun owners. But in this case inferior legislation would be far preferable to no legislation.
Much tougher to pass will be proposals to limit the bullet capacity of gun magazines and banning the civilian sales of semi-automatic assault-style firearms. Gun reform advocates should not give up on these efforts, but they will take time and perhaps the outcome of future elections.
Closing the massive loopholes in the federal background-check law would be an important step, however, and could provide the foundation for later reforms.

The account showed as a paid charge off and remained on my CR for about a year then disappeared altogether. Today, over 5 years later, it reappeared showing 2003 as the charge off date, effectively adding several years to the time it will remain on my report.
Unfortunately, being that this just showed up, I am assuming that my current creditors will use this as a reason to increase the rates on my current credit cards.
Is there anything I can do about this? It has to be a violation of the FCRA.

What they are doing is a violation of the FCRA. Charged off accounts remain on the credit file (just like any other account except ones in bankruptcies) for 7 years from date of LAST ACTIVITY. Since technically your last activity was in 1999 when you paid it, it should be coming off your credit report next year. Do you have the proof of payment in 1999? Did you keep the collection letter and can you get a copy of that check? They probably sent you a notice of satisfaction, do you still have that? You can dispute it. It's possible what happened in 2003 is they just updated their info. Maybe another company bought out the one you owed the debt to and they updated the info with the CBR's. It's possible it will fall off next year. It's not supposed to be off any sooner than 2006. Good luck!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
