Conduit 2
Control transfer...
- Topic Archived
DivinityStripes 6 years ago#1
This would be helpful for I am completely used to my settings and changing them back to default would mess me up badly. The Conduit just had so many variables to work with, perfecting the controls to your own liking was one of the best parts of the game; It would be such a hassle to get a new control set up again.
I know you might go like, just check them on the game, right them down, and copy them onto Conduit 2. What about the people who perfected their settings, but sold their game? They might get Conduit 2, but can't check their old settings.
I have changed settings many times on The Conduit to get my options just right, but I have noticed every time you screw around with the them, a severe learning curve is forced upon you. For instance, I wanted to have quicker more accurate aiming, so I turned sensitivity very high. After playing for awhile, I got used to it, but then I think, "This is a little too high, I'll turn it down a bit". So now I have to go through the whole "getting used to" process again. I think that this could be avoided by having Conduit 2 look at your data from The Conduit and copy those settings over.
Why? Because.
SmallerRidley 6 years ago#2
The numbers won't necessarily be the same, but you can simply copy down the numbers on your sliders from The Conduit and carry them over. If they're off a bit, you can tweak them since you'll be close at least.
Surely there's no problem with them putting me in Brawl, right?
It's ****ing satire, damnit. My quote rocks your socks.

What about the people who can't check their The Conduit settings? (addressed in my first post) :(
That learning curve is quite a nuisance to get past...

Borrow somebody's disc? "Buy it" used from Gamestop then return it the next day?

DivinityStripes (Topic Creator)6 years ago#5
Seems like more trouble than it's worth. -_-
Why? Because.
Kirby_Pwns_All 6 years ago#6
You could just rent the game for a day then copy them over. But since you always have the same settings every time you play, i.e. it's saved, you'd think that it could just access the save file and copy the settings over. But I could be completely wrong.
SmallerRidley 6 years ago#7
Find someone who knows how to decipher the save files, then ask them what those values are.
Surely there's no problem with them putting me in Brawl, right?
It's ****ing satire, damnit. My quote rocks your socks.
DivinityStripes (Topic Creator)6 years ago#8
@Kirby_Pwns_All: Yeah, I totally agree. I don't really know how video games work... So I don't know how hard it would be to implement scanning The Conduit save data for your settings. From my point of view, it seems pretty simple, but I don't know that much about the subject so...:P
Just having the option of transferring over would be so helpful. I look at examples like Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn checking your Nintendo GameCube memory cards for completed save files of Tales of Symphonia and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.
Why? Because.

LONDON, UK – October 2,2013 – Acronis®, a leading provider of data protection solutions, announced a collaboration with Quru,IBM and Red Hat to implement an open source system with disaster recovery capabilities on the IT infrastructure of Bonhams Auction House, one of the UK's oldest and most successful auctioneers.
Bonhams Auction House has been selling thousands of priceless antiques all over the world for more than 200 years, achieving record-breaking prices for Keats' original manuscripts and recently selling the most expensive car in history, Fangio's Mercedes for $29,650,095. With action houses in London, Paris, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, operating 24/7 is a key part of its success. However, to do this mission critical activity and ensure that it remains operational should a disaster occur, the organisation needed to update its IT systems within two of its US data centres.
However, as with so many other medium-sized enterprises, the cost of achieving minimal downtime through traditional IT models and data protection strategies was becoming unaffordable. Bonhams turned to its partner Quru, a UK-based IBM Partner, to help it resolve the issue by developing and delivering a cost-effective, open-source approach with a reliable data protection solution from Acronis for its backup.
"We migrated Bonhams over to open source software for the foundation of the upgrade and to standardise diverse platforms. This dramatically reduced licensing costs and enabled new disaster recover capabilities that would have been prohibitively expensive on proprietary systems," said Roland Whitehead, CEO of Quru. "By moving to an open source system based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation, with KVM technology, Bonhams was able to reduce the number of servers required by 75 percent from 35 to 8. The solution would have been 40 percent more expensive had Bonhams used a VMware-based approach, based on licensing costs and ongoing support."
In order to maintain the integrity and availability of real-time transactional data the Auction House also needed to improve disaster recovery measures for the data centres based in New York and San Francisco. Acronis Backup & Recovery® was chosen to support these new systems and machines that Bonhams relies on daily.
"We have limited technical staff in the U.S., so we needed something that could be managed from another location," said Simon Chiu, Bonhams' senior systems engineer in San Francisco. "Using Acronis, we are able to take live snapshots of our virtual machines and back them up at either site and synchronise those backup files to each data centre. So, in the event of a catastrophic failure at either site, we can quickly restore the virtual machine from the most recent backup, and all services will be up and running within hours instead of days."
"Without these open source solutions, Bonhams would never have been able to implement a disaster recovery system," said Roland Whitehead, CEO of Quru. "The open source system has provided a cost effective and robust computing platform for Bonhams, at a price that the organisation – and many other companies – can afford."
"We have built a platform that works seamlessly across Linux-based virtual environments and provides multiple targets – tape, disk and cloud. Our close development relationships with IBM and Red Hat have been pivotal in helping customers like Bonhams achieve such impressive efficiencies," said Dmitri Joukovski, senior vice president, product management, Acronis.
Specs and details:
- To add efficiency and stability to its operations, Bonhams consolidated 34 servers in its New York and San Francisco offices down to eight IBM System x3650 class servers. These servers are used as virtualisation hosts in a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation version 3.1 cluster—enabling secure remote management of IT assets and full support for a worldwide disaster-recovery strategy. The servers run Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation Hypervisor, and the infrastructure is managed by just two Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation Managers running on dedicated IBM System x3550 servers, one in each location.
- Bonham's is able to perform seamless backups of its virtualised environment with the use of Acronis Backup & Recovery Virtual Edition to back up the IBM servers at each site and replicate the backup data to the other locations.

Spring Meeting
of the Royal Netherlands Society of International Law
To be held on
Wednesday 25 May 2016 at 19:00 Hrs.
at the
Auditorium, Campus The Hague, Leiden University
Schouwburgstraat 2, 2511 VA The Hague
Drs. Bram van Ojik
Special Envoy for Migration, Netherlands
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Evelien T.W. van Roemburg, LL.M.
Lecturer , Faculty of Law and Faculty of
Social and Behavioural Science,
University of Amsterdam
Dr. Hans van Loon
Former Secretary-General of the Hague Conference on Private International Law
will speak on the subject:
Asylum, migration and refugee issues dominate the news, and confront the community of international lawyers with pertinent questions as to clashes between political pragmatism, required given the magnitude of the problems at hand, and the obligation to live up to international law. The KNVIR will devote its annual Spring meeting to this particular topic by organising a discussion among the Special Envoy for Migration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and two legal specialists, together representing the two 'branches' of the KNVIR: Public and Private International Law. The meeting is also intended to commemorate the late KNVIR Treasurer Dr. Peter J. van Krieken, who was a specialist in this field as well.
The three speakers will discuss several interesting international law aspects of migration today.
Bram van Ojik will speak of his experience as Special Envoy for Migration since his appointment in September of last year. Evelien van Roemburg will focus on the current EU migration policy – and in particular the EU's recent agreement with Turkey – in light of international and EU law requirements. Hans van Loon will elaborate on questions of private international law that arise in relation to migrants, refugees and asylum seekers and on private international law's potential contribution to global migration governance.
There will be ample time for discussion. The presentations and the discussion will be held in English.
Date and Venue
Date and Time: Wednesday 25 May 2016, 19:00 – 21:00 hrs.

Daily rush-hour commuters may be surprised to learn they're living in one of the top 10 driver-friendly cities – but four North Carolina cities have earned that honor.
The personal finance website WalletHub just released a list called "2015's Best and Worst Cities to Be a Driver," and Greensboro is the top-rated North Carolina city, at number four.
Durham is rated at number four among U.S. cities, while Winston-Salem is ranked at number nine, and Raleigh is number 10.
WalletHub's rankings are based on average gas prices, average annual traffic delays, rates of car theft and car clubs per capita.
The number one city for driving, according to WalletHub, is Lubbock, TX.
Ranking lowest among the list of one hundred most populated cities is good old New York, NY.http://chapelboro.com/news/national/four-nc-cities-make-wallethubs-most-driver-friendly-list

RALEIGH – Authorities say law enforcement officers are out in full force across North Carolina to catch drunken drivers.
The Department of Transportation says the Labor Day "Booze It & Lose It" campaign kicks off this weekend and runs through Sept. 2.
The director of the Governor's Highway Safety Program says young adults often celebrate with alcohol as they say goodbye to summer and head back to school. Don Nail says the campaign is designed to remind them they should designate a sober driver, call a cab or take public transit.
New public service announcements are running on television and social media.
The transportation agency says there were nearly 11,000 alcohol-related crashes in North Carolina last year. More than half of them involved drivers between 18 and 34 years old.http://chapelboro.com/news/safety/nc-launches-campaign-against-drunken-driving

NHL Game Night: 4-8-16 Lightning at DevilsSubmitted by pete on April 8, 2016 - 00:17
Drouinsanity returns to the Lightning and helps secure home ice for the first round.
Ben Bishop allowed 2 goals on 22 shots for the victory. I reiterate one of the biggest virtues of Bishop since he's joined the Lightning: he typically does not have two clunkers in a row.
First Period
5:45 TB Condra(6), (Sustr, Boyle)
Second Period
7:16 NJ Kalinin(7), (Moore, Gionta)
14:45 TB Paquette(6), (Filppula, Carle)
Third Period
3:50 TB Drouin(3), (Namestnikov)
9:26 NJ Kalinin(8), (Farnham)
19:13 TB Filppula(8), (Kucherov, Carle)(EN)
Jonathan Drouin was the game's second star.
For a Lightning team that hasn't had a ton to feel good about lately, tonight was a bit of psychological salve for their wounds. For the second time in the past few weeks, the Lightning played the style of game they need to in order to be successful without Stralman and Stamkos and secured a win against a hard working, fairly well structured opponent. In doing so, they got some positive results from players who have had a tough time of it all season who they now need to step up if they're going to weather their early opponents in the postseason. There's no doubt Erik Condra's playing some of his best hockey of the season lately after having gone missing for some 3/4 of the campaign. Cedric Paquette finally got back in the goal column for the first time in a blue moon, which is also a hopeful sign. It's hard to believe Paquette has sagged to just 6 goals after how well he played in the postseason last year including actually outplaying Jonathan Toews head to head in the early games of the Stanley Cup Final. And then there's 2/3 of the Dead Money Trio: Matt Carle and Valtteri Filppula. Is Matt Carle still a turnstile with eyeballs at times? Yes. Does Matt Carle still do some gobsmacking idiotic things when he has the puck at times? Yes. Has he improved somewhat, though, to help fill minutes in the absence of Stralman and Hedman? Absolutely. No denying it. And then there's Valtteri Filppula, who might be the single biggest source of my personal frustration this season. He actually provided a multi-point night tonight and I would've lost a bet if anyone had asked me to go in on whether he'd have another goal by the end of the regular season. Are 8 goals sufficient for a centerman at his salary price point? You all know the answer to that. But, a good postseason performance has a way of glossing over a disappointing regular season.
And then there's Jonathan Drouin. I feel really happy for both the Lightning organization and Drouin in how things have unfolded since Drouin decided to report back to Syracuse. The Lightning got to enforce organizational discipline and got Drouin the instructional coaching and conditioning he needed. And, Drouin capitalized when the opportunity to get back into the NHL finally came, which again proves what upside he has as a player. So, at this hour, both sides have to feel like they "won" something in a scenario where neither can have felt all that great about everything that's happened. Where it goes from here? That's another matter. Short term, Drouin's walking into a situation that seems tailor made for him to step up and prove he's a budding superstar. But, being asked to fill Steven Stamkos' shoes is a double edged sword that is, frankly, an unreasonable expectation for Drouin to have to live up to. Reason needs to prevail here in the expectation game. Drouin's not going to score the GWG every night and he's not going to instantly fill the shoes of one of the 10-20 best scorers in the game overnight. Fans, the organization, and the Drouin camp alike need to have reasonable targets for his performance, such as ensuring that scoring chances he helps create outpace those he surrenders (he won't be perfect defensively, some mistakes will happen) at a reasonable ratio, and that he's chipping in every 2-3 games. If he can do that, all sides involved should be happy with that, and it should open the door to any number of scenarios that include everything from Drouin's trade request being honored for a solid return or Drouin returning to Tampa Bay as a valued member of the organization (Vincent Lecavalier ultimately learned to live with and respect John Tortorella, so all things are possible with patience and if people act like adults). Anything more will be gravy.
The win clinches the #2 position in the Atlantic Division and home ice in the first round, while the Lightning also leapt over that 96 point target line for the season just 1 game behind schedule. That means they'll draw Detroit or Boston in the first round. Detroit would be more ideal, in my opinion, and they'd be the opponent if the shooting began right now, but they got smoked head to head by Boston tonight heading into their regular season finale against the Rangers whereas Boston draws a seemingly less difficult challenge against the Senators. Both teams are knotted in points, but DET has the tiebreaker because of their ROW advantage of 1 whole game. It's that tight.
Matt Taormina had 2 blocked shots in 17:01. It's a nice little late season reward for Taormina to get to suit up against his old organization and get a W against them.

Lightning Recall Drouin, Taormina from SyracuseSubmitted by chad on April 7, 2016 - 14:04
The Tampa Bay Lightning have recalled forward Jonathan Drouin and defenseman Matt Taormina from the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League today, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced. Additionally, the Bolts have reassigned defenseman Slater Koekkoek to Syracuse.
Drouin, 21, has skated in 17 games with the Crunch this season, recording 11 goals and 13 points to go along with 12 penalty minutes. He ranks tied for fifth on the Crunch with five power-play tallies, despite skating in only 17 games with Syracuse. The Ste-Agathe, Quebec native has also appeared in 19 games with the Lightning this season, posting a pair of goals and eight points. Drouin has played in 89 career NHL games, all with the Lightning over the past two seasons, registering six goals and 40 points.
Taormina, 29, has skated in one game with the Lightning this season, recording one shot on goal. The 5-foot-9, 192-pound defenseman has appeared in 57 career NHL games, registering four goals and 12 points. Taormina ranks tied for first among all Crunch defensemen for points with 41 this season. He leads all Syracuse defensemen for goals (13) and power-play goals (five).
Koekkoek, 22, has played in nine games with the Lightning this season, posting one assist and two penalty minutes. The 6-foot-2, 198-pound defenseman has also skated in 55 games with Syracuse, recording five goals and 15 points to go along with 24 penalty minutes.

Juniors Playoffs Game Night: 4-5-16Submitted by chad on April 5, 2016 - 21:44
Ontario Hockey League
Peterborough Petes 1 @ North Bay Battalion 4
Eastern Conference Quarterfinals
North Bay wins best-of-7 series, 4-3
D Dominik Masin, PBO: 0-0-0, +1, 0 PIM, 1 SOG
Playoff totals: 7 GP, 0-3-3, +3, 12 PIM
Season totals: 57 GP, 8-32-40, +24, 50 PIM
D Matt Spencer, PBO: 0-0-0, -1, 0 PIM, 1 SOG
Playoff totals: 7 GP, 0-1-1, -4, 11 PIM
Season totals: 60 GP, 5-19-24, +1, 46 PIM
Peterborough took North Bay to the limit, but ultimately fell to the Battalion and is now out of the playoffs. Peterborough scored first, but North Bay responded with four goals, including a late empty-netter. The game marks the close of Dominik Masin's junior career. He's signed to an entry-level contract already and will likely join AHL Syracuse in the next few days. He could have played in the AHL this year but returned to the OHL to get ice time after missing the second half of last season. He started slow, but was near a point-per-game player over the last couple months while playing on the top pair with fellow Lightning prospect Matt Spencer. Spencer, who was a team-worst -4 in the series, will return to the OHL next season. It's unclear if he'll be one of the prospects brought into Syracuse to finish the AHL season.
Second round match-ups involving Lightning prospects:
• (2) Shawingan (Dennis Yan) vs (9) Charlottetown
• (3) Saint John (Bokondji Imama, Mathieu Joseph*) vs (7) Cape Breton
* = Joseph out 2-3 months with a cut calf muscle requiring surgery

NHL Game Night: 4-5-16 Lightning at RangersSubmitted by pete on April 5, 2016 - 21:27
"Try hard" Lightning back into the playoffs.
Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed 3 goals on 28 shots for the loss. His soft goal on Stepan's second on a slapper off the board was the margin, as soft goals often are.
First Period
2:42 TB Sustr(4), (Namestnikov, Marchessault)
6:07 TB Boyle(13), (Palat, Johnson)(PP)
Second Period
16:55 NYR Stepan(21), (Zuccarello, Yandle)(PP)
Third Period
2:33 NYR Stepan(22), (Zuccarello, Klein)
4:46 NYR Kreider(21), (M. Staal, Stepan)
Ondrej Palat was the game's third star.
The Lightning had more than enough opportunities to win this game. They jumped out to the 2-0 lead and had plenty of chances to push it to a 3 goal margin with a bushel of power play opportunities including a 5-minute major. Ultimately, the Lightning just could not crack Lundqvist to put the kill shot on the Rangers and they invited the comeback given how shorthanded Tampa Bay was tonight. On top of the regular season-ending injuries to Stralman and Stamkos they also had Hedman and Callahan out of the lineup tonight. If you're a glass half full person, you can point to the fact the Lightning manufactured 41 shots tonight with that lineup. They tried hard, and with a little better goaltending they might've stolen a point out of the night. And, yes, they probably figured out some things about how to play without some of their big guns, which will have some value moving forward. But, in the end, there just aren't any moral victories at this time of year.
Fortunately, with the Bruins losing in the SO to Carolina, the Lightning backed into a playoff spot. That's notable given that the team missed the 96 point target at the 80 game market. In another season, they might be in real trouble right now. However, with how uneven the East is this year, they can actually clinch home ice in the first round with 1 more point. They'll need it. The "try hard" Lightning are better at home, where their power play is considerably less rancid than it is on the road.
Nikita Nesterov may want to join the witness protection program after that shift on the game winning goal. That's all I'll say about that.
Slater Koekkoek had 2 shots, 2 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 12:08. He wasn't perfect, but I thought he played reasonably well in a tight game against a quality opponent in a big market on the road. With efforts like that, I'd like to believe he'll earn some more game time to develop. I also thought he kind of surprised the Rangers a bit with the quality of his point shot in the game. He produced some rebounds with it tonight.

Stephens, Cirelli Get First Taste of Pro Hockey with CrunchSubmitted by jghoughtaling on April 5, 2016 - 15:01
There were two new faces on the ice for Syracuse Crunch practice Tuesday.
Mitchell Stephens and Anthony Cirelli, two Tampa Bay Lightning picks from the 2015 draft, took the ice for the first time in Syracuse after signing amateur tryouts with the Crunch this week. The split practice involved lots of shooting and possession drills for the two centers, who stuck together throughout most of the workouts.
Although Stephens and Cirelli will likely return to their respective junior teams next season, the Lightning organization wanted both players to get a sample of the game at the pro level.
"They're two smart hockey players," Crunch head coach Rob Zettler said. "They both have another year of junior left, but we wanted to get them in here and give them a taste of pro hockey. We'll see -- I'm not sure -- whether they'll play or not. We'll see what happens over the course of the next five games."

NHL Game Night: 4-4-16 Lightning at IslandersSubmitted by pete on April 4, 2016 - 20:50
Oh look, a dumpster fire!
Ben Bishop allowed 5 goals on 23 shots for the loss, 2 of which were pretty heinous softies. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped all 13 shots he faced the rest of the way. The good news is that Bishop typically never has two clunkers in a row.
First Period
13:18 NYI Pulock(2), (Okposo, Tavares)
Second Period
2:08 TB Killorn(14), (Kucherov, Carle)
11:00 NYI Martin(9), (Clutterbuck, Cizikas)
15:23 NYI Nelson(26), (Kulemin)
16:15 NYI Tavares(30), (Nielsen, Okposo)(PP)
19:53 TB Hedman(10), (Carle, Namestnikov)
Third Period
4:28 NYI Boychuk(9), (Tavares)
Other than Cedric Paquette beating the dog out of Ryan Pulock to the extent Pulock's ancestors probably felt that whoopin', there was nothing of merit to this game. The Lightning stunk in pretty much every aspect of the contest. If there was one thing I'd want the team to focus on immediately, though, it'd be to stop retreating off the blueline against the rush like the Visigoths are coming over the Seventh Hill at them. There's so much fear in that Lightning blueline right now, partially due to the stone footedness of Sustr and Carle, and it's killing them. You'll recognize Carle as the turnstile with skates in the video of the Islanders' second goal.

Lightning Sign F Mitchell Stephens to Entry Level DealSubmitted by timothy on April 4, 2016 - 19:51
TAMPA BAY – The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed forward Mitchell Stephens to a three-year, entry-level contract, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced today.
Stephens, 19, skated in 39 games with the Saginaw Spirit of the Ontario Hockey League this past season, collecting 20 goals and 38 points to go along with 14 penalty minutes. Stephens missed 29 games during the regular season but still ranked fifth on the Spirit for points and tied for fourth for goals. The Peterborough, Ontario, native also appeared in four games for Saginaw during the 2016 OHL Playoffs, posting two goals and three points.
The 6-foot, 193-pound forward has skated in 158 career OHL games, all with Saginaw over three seasons, recording 51 goals and 107 points. Stephens also suited up for Team Canada at the 2016 IIHF World Jr. Championships this past season, notching a goal and two points in five tournament games.
Stephens was selected by the Lightning in the second round, 33rd overall, at the 2015 NHL Draft.
BP Commentary:
Stephens is a young Callahan in effort and character, but can play both center and wing. He played center all year on Saginaw's top line and put up good numbers when healthy. He broke his foot early in the year and missed several weeks, but returned just in time to make Team Canada and perform well at the WJC's.
Stephens' hands are underrated and he's very poised with the puck. He's an excellent complimentary forward with some skill who will be a favorite of coaches throughout his career. He could have the same impact on the Lightning eventually as Ondrej Palat (or Callahan had with the Rangers earlier in his career).
The second rounder won't turn 20 until February, so while he can join Syracuse now, he has to go back to juniors next fall if he doesn't make the Lightning - which isn't expected. He will probably captain the Spirit next season and may wear a letter for Canada next Christmas.

Joel Vermin, Matthew Peca, and Jeff Tambellini were the game's three stars.
It's kind of remarkable that the day Jonathan Drouin sat out due to a lower body injury that the Crunch went and scored 7 goals.
Peca continues his strong late season charge, extending his points streak to 6 games with 1 goal and 10 points in that span. Going back to March 6th, he's got 1 goal and 16 points in a 13 game stretch, including 5 multi-point games. He's definitely throwing his hat in the ring to be the next Conacher/Johnson type in the Lightning organization.
Speaking of multi-point efforts, Ben Thomas had his first as a pro today. He's got 3 helpers in his first 4 pro games. He's been like found money thus far for Syracuse.
Unfortunately, despite the severity of today's whipping of the Comets, it still only counts as 2 points in the standings. That places Syracuse 6 points back of Utica for 3rd in the North Division with the Comets still holding a game in hand. Portland and Bridgeport maintain an 8 point gap on Syracuse in the crossover scenario, so it looks like catching Utica in the final 5 regular season games is the formula for the postseason. The Crunch do have 2 more head-to-head matchups against the Comets, but it's still going to be like threading the needle for the Crunch to make the playoffs.

This is Tucker. He came in a group of 4. We called them the "littles". They were all about the same age and just little folks. But that didn't take long to change. Tucker weighs close to 4 lbs. and a attitude to match. Don't squeak a toy around him because he will bite the crap out of you. He is like a bulldozier coming thru . He considered himself the "king of the castle.
He would like some "large" hammocks for his cage. He fills the small ones completely up and no one else can get in. So I don't want to bend the cage. He would like some new water bottles too. And if you get him toys, please nothing that squeak.
Mom would like some new quilts and large water bottles. Also some ferretone. They all love it.

How does the current Mateus Rose compare taste wise with the Mateus Rose circa 1968?
seems a little less sweet
Can you advise the cost of delivery to 35901
how does this compare to the one labeled the original, a red in price, color and taste
can you advise delivery charge to 17601
Tasting Notes
Mateus Rose is a fresh, lightly effervescent, and well balanced fruity rose. Great for all occasions, this wine is especially complimentary to BBQ, Chinese, Indian and Thai cuisine.

|From left to right: Tyrone Novikoff (6-7, 310), Tevita Halaholo (6-5, 330), Clell Hasenbank (6-2, 289), Sam Tupua (6-2, 340), Matt Cleveland (6-4, 311).
The unit has had two steady weeks to practice without substitutions, and the reports we are getting state that the line is beginning to mesh. Cleveland the leader, Tupua the powerful drive blocker, Hasenbank making the calls, and the right side of the line is flat-out enormous. The line overall averages an impressive 6-foot-4, 316-pounds tackle-to-tackle, and is comprised of two seniors and three juniors.
Below is a quick breakdown for each starter, as well as the top three backups.
Left Tackle
The most experienced of the 2010 Vandal line, Cleveland started every game last year at left tackle and is considered a preseason All-WAC pick for 2010. He would have been a two year starter (being named the starting LT as a redshirt freshman in 2008), but a fall camp injury forced him to miss the entire '08 season. An aggressive lineman with a mean streak, he is responsible for watching Enderle's blind side. And as the most experienced returning lineman, he is also responsible for leading Idaho's newly rebuilt offensive front going into 2010.
Left Guard
Tupua joined the program in January after an impressive career at Palomar College, picking Idaho over offers from Nevada, Southern Miss and New Mexico State. He earned looks at both center and left guard in spring and fall camp, before settling in at guard. He's shed 35 pounds since signing day, and although he was slowed with an injury for much of spring camp, has proven to be an exceptional addition to the Vandal front line and a powerful run blocking athlete.
Hasenbank joined the program two years ago out of College of the Siskiyous and has worked his way to the top of the center depth chart this fall. Idaho's number one backup at center last fall, he took every opportunity at playing time he could get. For his efforts has been rewarded by working extensively with the first unit this offseason. Hasenbank has a knowledge of the offense that comes with years in the system, and is poised to lead the Vandal 0-line this fall.
Right Guard
Halaholo joined the program last year as a redshirt junior and was one of Idaho's top backups all season. At College of San Mateo he had a decorated career, winning almost every honor possible for a junior college offensive lineman, headlined by being named a JC Gridwire All American. His list of honors include being named a Football Coaches All-American, All-California Region 1, and a First Team All Nor-Cal selection. At Idaho this spring and fall he has settled into the top right guard position, and with his size and strength gives Idaho a powerful right side punch.
Right Tackle
Monstrous lineman Tyrone Novikoff earned his stripes last fall as a redshirt sophomore. He could often be seen coming in on double-tight sets, lining up as a tightend next to former right tackle Bryce Sinclair. When Iupati went down briefly for a few snaps last year, it was Novikoff that stepped in at guard for the All-American. Considered an athlete that Idaho could line up at guard or tackle, Novikoff has anchored the right side of the line the entire offseason and is poised for a breakout 2010 campaign.
Below is the future of the Vandal offensive line, represented by a true freshman, a redshirt freshman, and redshirt sophomore. Others such as Ron Mallory, Charles Wiley and rest of the young depth chart continue to make significant progress, strengthening the Idaho depth chart.
#74 Mike Marboe, 6-2, 298, True Freshman
Generally considered one of the top overall recruits in the 2010 Idaho class, Marboe has not disappointed anybody since arriving on campus (he completed high school a semester early and was at Idaho for spring drills). Ranked the No.19 center in the country by Scout.com as a senior, he also earned a 3-star rating for his efforts -- there is little question of his talent or potential. He came to Moscow in exceptional condition, and whatever he lacks in collegiate experience he more than makes up for in physical ability. Currently listed the No.2 center, the staff will likely try to redshirt him this fall. But if Hasenbank falters or is injured, look for Marboe to get the nod at center. Regardless, he will be a player to watch in the future at Idaho.
#68 Guy Reynolds, 6-2, 301, RS-Sophomore
Considered one of Idaho's top line recruits in the 2008 class (ranked the No.19 center in the nation by Scout.com as a senior), Reynolds hit the conditioning regimen hard last offseason and battled throughout spring and fall camp at both center and guard, getting numerous reps with the No.1 offense. Look for Reynolds' number to be called if either guard falters this fall.
#77 Jordan Johnson, 6-5.5, 310, RS-Freshman
Another offensive line gem recruited by Coach Finn out of the high school ranks, Johnson was considered the No.94 offensive tackle prospect in the country by Scout.com as a senior and signed with Idaho as part of the 2009 recruiting class. He is a bit of a 'tweener, meaning he could line up for Idaho in the future at either tackle or guard for the Vandals. Look for Johnson to start getting reps this fall on special teams, and to get his shot if one of the starters goes down.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2012-07-02/In the news
Public relations on Wikipedia: friend or foe?
Conflict of interest guide
The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR), a British association of public relations professionals, has released the first version of a conflict of interest guideline in collaboration with Wikimedia UK (WMUK).
Paid editing has long been a contentious topic on Wikipedia. The Signpost has reported on the topic many times in the last several years, like the MyWikiBiz debacle ("Account used to create paid corporate entries shut down" [2006]), Microsoft's attempt to monitor articles ("Microsoft approach to improving articles opens can of worms" [2007]), issues surrounding diploma mills ("Report of diploma mill offering pay for edits" [2007]), and a public relations firm's edits ("The Bell Pottinger affair" [2011]), but it received its most substantial treatment in 2012, with "Does Wikipedia Pay?", a series of interviews with paid editing supporters ("The Facilitator: Silver seren", "The Consultant: Pete Forsyth", and "The Communicator: Phil Gomes"). The short answer is that paid editing has traditionally been severely discouraged on Wikipedia, but recent attempts by the public relations industry to forge links with Wikipedia have garnered some support for the idea, though it is far from a consensus.
|[W]here there is a clear conflict of interest created by the relationship between the public relations professional and the subject of the Wikipedia entry, such as a client or employer, they should not directly edit it.
—Jane Wilson, CIPR CEO
After the Bell Pottinger incident, CIPR and WMUK began a collaboration to draft 'best practice guidelines' for public relations professionals' relationship with Wikipedia's articles. The CIPR guidelines demonstrate the fruits of this, as the document has much in common with Wikipedia's own conflict of interest guidelines and was developed on the Wikimedia UK wiki. Among its most notable provisions is the highly visible and repeated stipulation that public relations professionals should not directly edit articles they have a conflict of interest with except in extremely limited circumstances, along with its recommendation to "operate within the system" and a step-by-step guide to addressing problems in a topic they are being paid to correct.
Statements from the association also reflect the Wikipedia guideline's influence: "The main theme of the guidance is quite simple – where there is a clear conflict of interest created by the relationship between the public relations professional and the subject of the Wikipedia entry, such as a client or employer, they should not directly edit it. Such an activity would be unethical and lacking in transparency and therefore potentially against CIPR's own guidance on digital communication and social media" (CEO Jane Wilson). The Wikimedia Foundation, through its head of communications Jay Walsh, also reacted positively, saying "CIPR's basic message, ... that PR folks editing Wikipedia directly is problematic, echoes what we hear from the community of Wikipedia contributors. Those who come to Wikipedia with a clear conflict of interest are generally going to face real challenges in terms of editing and contributing to the project."
There is some resistance to the guidelines as they currently stand, however. The Public Relations Society of America released a statement praising the CIPR-WMUK collaboration, yet cautioning that working within Wikipedia's guidelines is not their ideal solution, and collaboration with entities like the Corporate Representatives for Ethical Wikipedia Engagement is needed (see previous Signpost coverage on CREWE).
The association plans to release future versions as the guidelines mature and receive more attention from Wikipedians and public relations professionals. (more information in the Holmes Report, Mediabistro; CIPR guidelines)
In brief
- Australian political scandal moves on-wiki: Despite the Health Services Union expenses affair's diminishing popularity in the "real world", the Sydney Morning Herald has reported on edit wars revolving around the articles relating to the scandal. After the article was published, one Wikipedia editor commented that they had "one good thing [to say about that Fairfax article. It seems to have silenced those Wikipedia editors it suggested may have conflicts of interest.]"
This draft is actually linked from the Signpost. Some mistake surely. Charles Matthews (talk) 10:47, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- I'm assuming you meant my mistake in forgetting to remove {{Signpost draft}} from the article. Sorry about that. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 20:02, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- CIPR has the right idea. There are no genuine improvements a PR professional could want to make that can't be done without directly editing the page. A little extra patience and effort to follow that rule is all it takes to improve the situation 100x. User:King4057 12:33, 3 July 2012 (UTC) (EthicalWiki)
- I've been solicited twice already to write stuff into wiki to promote. One was OK (Consumer Reports) prob clean motive. The other NOT clean drug rep, and how did they get my email address??
- Scary too that stuff has vanished from my talk. Gone as though it never happened. I wanted to recontact as requested the Wiki Foundation guy posted special survey about my experiences re strange edits suggesting follow the money conflicts. Nobody in wiki like administrators should have the power to make text vanish. Nobody should have the power to warn or block re edit war unless under strict rules (3x for ex).
- I almost quit already once when an editor undid HOURS of my work researching then writing clean re cancer green tea health benefits claiming that a very (simplistic) FDA statement was better than pubmed research so much so he claims / enforces complete deletion! But then come back because one of my best friends DIED from "prostate cancer". Actually bad doctoring. I look for solutions.
- I recommend a global ban on conflict of interest evidenced by edits specifically that are biased. Foundation level board. Bias is easy to show in scientific topics. See how Yobol, adjkasi, and jmh649 sent me to irrelevant wiki pages to support their claims. Look how they immediately appeared and undid my edits giving irrelevant advise and links. My edits were well intentioned though neive now better getting better. Look how they tried to scare me off from entering new facts (Cochrane) demanding that I prove cochrane is peer reviewed!! Look how they diluted the final texts in several ways, though they monitor maintain the original shown was worse by their own edits, or reverted back, or burried key words and sentences.
- PSS Why not write software to identify conflict of interest in articles. Find articles that are not fixed to new obvious update info though editors constantly monitor, plant changes that would cost an industry $$ and see what happens who makes follow the money changes, find articles with poor structure made that dilute $$ interests, find articles w few editors always there and monitoring, and review their edits for conflict, and find tag team editors like the three above maybe. Got a friend knows how to write that software, used to edit here, might work for free.32cllou (talk) 18:26, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

SANTA FE (AP) - Republican Heather Wilson was back on familiar territory Tuesday in asking the Legislature to improve public education.
But this time, Wilson had a new job and could tell lawmakers she was a "legislator like you."
Wilson was elected last year to represent the Albuquerque-area 1st District in Congress.
Before that, Wilson's appearances before the Legislature came as secretary of the Children, Youth and Families Department under Gov. Gary Johnson's administration. In that role, she lobbied for the governor's educational initiatives, including school vouchers.
In Tuesday's speech to a joint session of the Legislature, Wilson said it was "time to be more aggressive in the pursuit of improvements" in public education.
Indirectly, she also delivered a sales pitch for several of Johnson's education proposals.
Wilson recommended lawmakers expand so-called charter schools. The Legislature is considering a proposal to allow parents, educators and other groups to establish specialized schools offering innovative programs for students. Charter schools also would be freed from some of the regulations and standards governing traditional schools.
"We need to fill in some of the cracks our children are falling through and charter schools can do that," she said.
Wilson also suggested lawmakers experiment with a type of limited school voucher program - but didn't use the term "voucher." Instead she described the proposal as a pilot program offering taxpayer-financed scholarships for low-income students to attend a school of their choice, including private or religious schools.
The governor proposes phasing in a statewide school voucher program, starting with students in poor families.
"The reality is when we talk about choice in public education, the wealthy already have it," Wilson told lawmakers. "The ones who don't have it are the ones who need it the most."
Johnson's proposal faces strong opposition in the Legislature from many Democrats as well as educational groups ranging from teachers' unions, a coalition of public school administrators and the state superintendent of schools.
Opponents contend a voucher program would siphon off needed state aid from public schools. Johnson maintains that public schools would improve because they would have to compete for students with private schools.
Wilson said in an interview that she didn't expect the Democratic-controlled Legislature to accept a comprehensive voucher proposal this year. However, she expressed hope that lawmakers would experiment with a pilot program to see if it succeeded in helping students at risk of dropping out of public schools.
She also suggested lawmakers look at innovative education programs in other states, such as one in Oregon that allows some teen-agers to earn their high school diploma while attend a vocational-technical school.

The holiday season means more people are shopping – many with debit and credit cards. One year after the Target data breach, the real threat of retail data breach is a continued concern for credit unions and their members in Missouri.
The National Credit Union Administration's (NCUA) Board will meet for the last time in 2014 on Thursday, December 11. The main item on the agenda is a final rule on appraisal exemptions.
There are a number of events planned for Missouri's credit union advocates during the Credit Union National Association's (CUNA) Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC), March 8-12, including visits to legislative offices on Capitol Hill.
The Home Depot data security breach hit credit unions hard, including credit unions in Missouri. The total cost to Missouri credit unions is estimated at $759,408, with a nationwide cost of nearly $60 million. These incurred costs include reissuing debit and credit cards, dealing with fraud and covering other costs once the breach was disclosed in September.
National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board member J. Mark McWatters, in a meeting with senior Credit Union National Association (CUNA) staff Thursday, September 18, 2014, confirmed that he would not vote in favor of any risk-based capital (RBC) proposal if it does not include a second comment period.
In a positive step, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board approved a proposed rule at its board meeting to amend the agency's fixed assets regulation to help federal credit unions better manage their fixed assets.
The number of credit union members is growing! Credit unions are expected to reach 100 million members nationwide this summer. To celebrate this milestone, the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) has launched the 100 Million Credit Union Memberships campaign. This website is now open to the public.
The number of comment letters related to the National Credit Union Administration's (NCUA) RBC proposal continues to grow. NCUA said more than 2,050 people wrote to the agency, a number that seems to increase by the day as the agency sorts through letters submitted before the May 28 deadline. The Missouri Credit Union Association (MCUA) submitted their comment letter. The U.S.
Credit unions across Missouri and the Missouri Credit Union Association (MCUA) weighed in with concerns about the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Risk Based Capital (RBC) proposal. As the comment period closed on May 28, NCUA received more than 2,000 comment letters regarding the proposal.
Credit unions are getting support from current and past members of Congress – including those in Missouri – in efforts concerning the National Credit Union Administration's (NCUA) risk-based capital (RBC) proposal.
