Firefighter and emergency medical technician Jon Keith was staining a garage when the ladder he was standing on slipped out from underneath him Aug. 12.
He just celebrated the fifth anniversary of his remodeling company, Two Trees LLC, but he hasn't been able to work for the last three months, and the bills are starting to pile up.
His friends are staging a benefit from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 20, at the Ice House Cafe in downtown Evergreen. Live music will be by Dakota Blonde, Joe Bye and Friends, John Erlandson, Lisa Delia and others.
The first-graders at Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen jumped into a huge time machine on Friday and were transported 5,000 years back in time to ancient Egypt.
When they arrived, the students transformed into Egyptian princesses, scribes and slaves who were able to taste food from that time period, build pyramids out of sugar cubes, make miniature mummies from aluminum foil and create beautiful bracelets out of cardboard rolls and plastic jewels.
As the number of elk killings on private property attracts attention in Evergreen, preliminary evidence shows the issue is not necessarily the number of elk, it's where the elk prefer to live that makes them more vulnerable to legal hunts in residential neighborhoods.
The elk population of Evergreen may seem to be on the increase, but the size of the herd is estimated at 2,500, about 2,000 animals less than in 2000.
The Evergreen Fire Protection District held an almost four-hour meeting Oct. 28 to discuss the fire chief's evaluation.
After opening the meeting at 4 p.m., the board immediately went into an executive session "for a discussion of a personnel matter involving the evaluation of the fire chief," according to the minutes of the special meeting.
An investor group is eyeing the empty Albertsons grocery store off Stagecoach Boulevard and Evergreen Parkway for a variety of new retail uses.
The group has contacted the county planning and zoning department and will be making a presentation to the public at an ENABLE meeting at 7 p.m. Nov. 18 at the United Methodist Church, 3757 Ponderosa Drive. The public is invited.
COLORADO SPRINGS — In the words of head coach Rob Molholm, 2010 was a magical season as his Evergreen Cougars' football team rebounded from a 3-7 record in 2009 to go 8-2 in the regular season and reach the 3A state playoffs for the first time since 2004.
But like 2004, the first round would be as far as the Cougars would make it as they fell to Vista Ridge, 26-10, on Nov. 13 at Sand Creek High School.
Ashley Phelps and Molly Walton had a similar path in mind. It's not that they don't mind Colorado, but the Conifer seniors had warmer pastures in mind for their immediate future. Add in Allison Gorrell and the Lobos trio all signed on to continue their athletic careers in college.
On the first day of the early signing period, Phelps, Walton and Gorrell made official their quest to further their athletic careers at the next level.
Thanks to the enthusiastic trick-or-treating youths of Evergreen, soldiers serving in Afghanistan will once again enjoy a huge belated Halloween treat.
The second annual "Give to Get Halloween Candy Bribe-Back" at the Island in Hiwan was an overwhelming success. Just before dusk on Halloween night, Dr. Courtney College, local pediatric dentist, along with many costumed volunteers, set up shop in the middle of the popular trick-or-treating neighborhood. Kids of all ages donated some of their hard-earned candy for soldiers serving overseas.

Part 8: Performance, from the Marketing Point of View
If you have read the previous chapters carefully, you know what I am going to say now: PowerPC970 is a well-made successful processor. It is good in some areas, and the best in others. And there is no area where this processor would lose evidently to the competitor solutions. So, we can expect a high level of performance from PowerPC970, at least no worse than current chips from AMD and Intel do. We will see the performance results shortly.
Right now I've got a lyrical deviation for you: however excellent and potentially winning the processor architecture features are, you have to do one most important thing about it. You have to sell it to somebody. That's the reason why the folks from the marketing department usually determine the launch schedule for a particular product, rather than the engineering team. If you think the engineering component is paramount, I can remind you of one striking example: DEC. This corporation was a well-known developer and inventor of many efficient technical solutions, but it slipped once. They didn't pay attention to marketing technologies that would help to sell its solutions (best in the world at that time). Note, best from the technical point of view! The outcome was sad, although quite natural. The developer of one of the fastest microprocessors of that day (by the way, it was the legendary first 64-bit Alpha processor) went bankrupt and was bought by Compaq (that merged with Hewlett-Packard later). DEC was an example company in designing high-performance systems, but proved to be too weak for this harsh business world. They thought their excellent products would sell good enough without any marketing. Regrettably, this was not so. Most customers are not specialists in computer technologies: they are professionals in other areas. So, they need someone to tell them why this very product is exactly what they need. And it is the marketing department of any company that does the telling.
No doubt, Apple learned these simple truths long ago. I would even say that marketing has traditionally been Apple's strong point: they used to come up with ever more ingenious ways to promote their products. The new microprocessor and the new platform immediately became the focus of the intensive marketing work. And that is when a small, but very unpleasant event happened.
One of the trickiest nuances in the marketing campaign for any product is its comparison to the potential competitors. Of course, you must tout your product as good as you can. It is also clear that you need to stay politically correct, at least seem to be like that. If you are trying to point at the deficiencies of a competing solution, you cannot lie. Otherwise, if you get caught on that, people would become very negative to your company and to your products. That's psychology. So, they will believe you until you are exposed lying. Accordingly, the marketing department cannot lie openly, as it could ruin the company's image. I think these are all well-known truths.

Umberto Petrin / Pheeroan akLaaf Duo: Clusone, Italy, July 21, 2012
Clusone Jazz Festival
Mons Theater
Clusone, Italy
July 21, 2012
A premier performance by the piano-drum duo of Umberto Petrin and Pheeroan akLaff opened the first set on Saturday night at the 32nd annual Clusone Jazz Festival near Bergamo, Italy. Their music provided much more than the stereotypical first meeting of two musicians from different countries. The two demonstrated a high level of creative spontaneity, a genuine ability to listen and respond to each other, and enough synchronized connections to add a positive coherency to their interactive explorations.
Petrin is one of Europe's great modern pianists whose style is appreciated by both free jazz purists and less adventurous listeners alike. There are undeniable markings of Cecil Taylor in Petrin's playing (just to offer a global reference to style) but his original approach takes an entirely different form. Petrin's flexibility combines an exceptional classical technique combined with accomplished avant-garde rhythms and harmony, molded by a solid background in jazz. Not fearful of melody or time, yet with an ability to stretch both to challenging limits of chaos, Petrin's playing always rewards an attentive audience like those at Clusone Jazz Festival.
Pheeroan akLaff is a powerful drummer, and as engaging as any percussionist performing improvised and creative music today. His wealthy vocabulary that embraces many musical styles has allowed him to make significant contributions to recordings by artists such as Wadada Leo Smith, Oliver Lake, Henry Threadgill, Baikida Carroll, and Anthony Braxton. During the Clusone performance, akLaff laid down solid grooves, caressed delicate ballads with brushes, improvised melodies like a saxophonist, and provided supportive layers of free time, never canceling out the harmonics of Petrin's keyboard.
The first time Petrin and akLaff met was at the train station in Bergamo, when akLaaf arrived from Switzerland on Friday afternoon. They had a short rehearsal in the afternoon and a longer one Saturday morning which Petrin, with his dry humor later described as "an opportunity to explore themes and decide how not to play the tunes we selected."
The following is a "musical chronicle" of the duo's performance, a play-by-play description of their 40 minute set that included five compositions by Petrin and Thelonious Monk.
Petrin opened by playing low-register, repetitive motifs and variations with the left hand only, using the sustain pedal to allow the dark sounds to bleed into one another. AkLaaf's entrance came shortly afterwards with quiet, broken-time drum rolls on the floor tom and cymbal. Petrin continued improvising in the low register, alternating between motivic ideas, short runs and chordal clusters, all below middle C on the keyboard, gradually introducing one or two higher tones. Aklaaf, with rolling free time, increased the intensity and volume. Petrin responded with fierce jabs from his right hand while continuing the low-register left hand motifs.
Suddenly a majestic theme opened, which Umberto later identified as his originally titled "Interlude II." The melody was played briefly and without diminishing intensity, while a strong rhythmic motif sustained the suspenseful energy emitted by both players who brought the music to its peak volume.
In the next moment, Pheeroan akLaaf opened up across the entire drum kit, setting the bar of intensity and volume even higher, when just as suddenly, it all quieted down to near silence, a calm after the rhythmic storm turning into a delicate openness. Petrin quoted briefly from Monk's theme "Epistrophy" in his left hand (or was it "Straight No Chaser" w/ severe deconstruction?) AkLaaf, now on mallets, switched deftly between the padded ball and the end of the stick, back and forth like twirling a baton, varying the timbre of his sound and rhythm like any melodic instrument.
Seamlessly, a peaceful melody arose from Petrin which he later identified as an original tune entitled "Metal D." It was interrupted unexpectedly by dashing, darting lines, and back to near silence with soft, atonal mid-range clusters against a perfectly tonal melody in the right hand. Repeating this format several times, Petrin adeptly extracted melody from chaos while akLaaf focused solely on hit-hat and cymbals. Petrin initiated a rhythmic groove, playing a single-note riff with muted strings inside the piano. He alternated between the muted and open-string sounds to provide accompaniment for akLaff's drum solo, which consisted of very sparse, sharp attacks.

The Gustavus softball team won five of its six conference games last week, including a split with St. Thomas to stay even with the Tommies atop the MIAC standings. On the mound for three of the five wins was freshman pitcher Sarah Rozell (Lakeville, Minn./North). The Gusties' rookie had a tremendous week, tossing three shutouts, including one against UST to end the Tommies' impressive winning streaks (13 straight wins, 53 straight conference wins). For her performance, Rozell has been named the MIAC Softball Pitcher-of-the-Week.
Rozell's week started with a five-inning, one-hit shutout of St. Olaf last Monday with two walks and one strikeout in the 8-0, five-inning win. She tossed another five-inning shutout Wednesday, holding Macalester to four hits and one walk with three strikeouts in a 9-0 victory. However, her best effort halted St. Thomas' incredible streaks Saturday, as she allowed just four hits and one walk with three strikeouts in the 4-0, seven-inning shutout. She also had two relief appearances and didn't allow a run in 18.2 innings of work. This season, Rozell is 10-2 with a 2.12 ERA with 63 strikeouts and just 19 walks in 86.0 innings. Overall, she ranks second in wins, fifth in strikeouts and tied for first in shutouts in the MIAC during her stellar freshman campaign.
The Gusties' 5-1 week helped them improve to 19-7 overall and 11-1 in MIAC play to remain deadlocked with the defending champion Tommies in the race for the 2012 MIAC championship and No. 1 playoff seed. Gustavus faces another busy week of conference play, facing St. Catherine on the road Tuesday for a 3:30 p.m. doubleheader. The Gusties host Carleton Thursday for a 3:30 p.m. twin bill and Saturday they head to St. Joseph for two games against Saint Benedict at 1 p.m.

Efficacy of the RemoweLL cardiotomy reservoir for Fat and Leucocyte removal from shed mediastinal blood: a randomized controlled trial. ABSTRACT (176 words) Introduction Re-transfusion of lipid particles and activated leucocytes with shed mediastinal blood (SMB) can aggravate cardiopulmonary bypass-associated inflammation and increase the embolic load. This study evaluated the fat and leucocyte removal capacity of the RemoweLL cardiotomy reservoir. Methods Forty-five patients undergoing elective on-pump cardiac surgery were randomly allocated to filtration of SMB using the RemoweLL or the Admiral cardiotomy reservoir. The primary outcome was the drop in leucocytes and lipid particles obtained with the two filters. The effect of the filters on other blood cells and inflammatory mediators such as myeloperoxidase (MPO) was also assessed. Results The RemoweLL cardiotomy filter removed 16.5 % of the leucocytes (P < 0.001) while no significant removal of leucocytes was observed with the Admiral (P = 0.48). The percentage reductions in lipid particles were similar in the two groups (26% vs 23 %, P = 0.2). Both filters similarly affected the level of MPO (P = 0.71). Discussion The RemoweLL filter more effectively removed leucocytes from SMB than the Admiral. It offered no advantage in term of lipid particle clearance.

BACKGROUND: Endothelial dysfunction is a major hallmark of most types of cardiovascular diseases. Numerous plant extracts have been shown to cause endothelium-dependent relaxations by increasing the endothelial formation of the potent vasoprotective factor, nitric oxide (NO). OBJECTIVE: The ability of different Ribes nigrum L. extracts (Grossulariaceae) to induce endothelium-dependent relaxation by stimulating the endothelial formation of NO was assesssed. METHODS: Ribes nigrum extracts were prepared from buds, berries and leaves by extraction (Acetone:H2O:Acetic Acid; 70/28/2 (v/v/v)) and lyophilized after acetone evaporation. The ability of the extracts to stimulate the endothelial formation of NO was assessed using cultured endothelial cells and isolated porcine coronary artery rings. RESULTS: The Ribes nigrum leaf extract increased to a greater extent than the bud and the berry extracts the formation of NO, and up-regulated eNOS mRNA expression in cultured endothelial cells (the stimulatory effects amounted to 197 ± 9 %, 134 ± 6 % and 118 ± 5 %, respectively). The leaf extract induced greater relaxations of isolated coronary arteries with endothelium than the bud and the berry extracts whereas no such effects were observed in rings without endothelium. Relaxations to the leaf extract were minimally affected by indomethacin and by inhibitors of endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization response, and markedly reduced by NG-nitro-L-arginine. CONCLUSIONS: The present findings indicate that the Ribes nigrum leaf extract is a more potent inducer of the endothelial formation of NO than the bud and the berry extracts.

BACKGROUND: Several studies have shown that cherries, especially sour cultivars, contain substantial amounts of phenolic compounds. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to (i) analyze the total phenolic compound (TPC) content and the antioxidant capacity (AC) of a large range of cultivars using the same methodology in one laboratory, and (ii) determine the possible relationship between agronomic characteristics and AC. METHODS: A total of 245 samples including sweet, sour and hybrid cultivars from our collections were harvested at their optimum maturity and characterized according to their TPC, DPPH and ORAC values. RESULTS: The TPC content and DPPH and ORAC values varied greatly among the cherries, with the sour cultivars presenting higher levels than the sweet ones. The PCA plot showed a slight grouping by species and confirmed the high TPC content level in sour cultivars. The bi-colored cultivars had lower TPC and antioxidant capacity (AC) values than dark-colored ones, indicating that coloration could give an indication of the AC of fruits. No significant relationship between the agronomic and chemical properties was highlighted. CONCLUSIONS: Cherry fruits, especially from sour cultivars, represent an important source of bioactive compounds and could attract new interest as a 'functional food'.

Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic multisystemic connective tissue disease characterized by progressive fibrosis affecting skin and internal organs. Despite serious efforts to unveil the pathogenic mechanisms of SSc, they are still unclear. High levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in affected patients have been shown, and ROS are suggested to play a role in fibrosis pathogenesis. In this study we evaluate ROS levels in non-fibrotic and fibrotic skin of patients with SSc and we compare them with those obtained from healthy controls. Patients and Methods We enrolled 9 SSc patients fulfilling the EULAR/ACR classification criteria and 7 healthy controls. Patients included were 4 men and 5 women with mean age of 46 ±10 yrs. Controls were matched by sex and age. All patients were affected by diffuse cutaneous form of SSc and the ANA pattern anti-Scl70. Mean disease duration was 7.5±5 yrs. Skin involvement was evaluated by modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS). Skin samples (4 mm punch biopsy) were taken from fibrotic skin and non-fibrotic skin of patients and from healthy controls as well. To detect ROS, specimens were analyzed immediately after sampling by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Blood samples have been drawn from all patients and controls to assess oxidative stress biomarkers. Results ROS levels (expressed as median and range, unit of measurement was nmol/l/min/mg of dry weight) were 24.7 (10.9– 47.0) in fibrotic skin, 18.7 (7.3–34.0) in non-fibrotic skin and 7.7 (3.5–13.6) in healthy controls skin. ROS levels in Fibrotic and Non-fibrotic skin of SSc patients were significantly higher than in Healthy Controls (p=0.002 and p=0.009, respectively). ROS levels in fibrotic skin were raised in comparison to non-fibrotic skin, when samples related to each patient were compared (p=0.01). ROS levels in fibrotic skin were correlated with forced vital capacity (r= -0.75, p=0.02) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r=0.70, p=0.04). All other clinical and lab parameters showed no significant correlation. When compared to controls, blood from SSc patients showed lower ascorbate (vitamin C) levels (8 [3.8-9.8] vs. 10.5 [9-19.1] mg/L, p=0.004) and higher lipid peroxides (873.5 [342-1973] vs. 422 [105-576] μmol/L, p=0.004). Conclusion Our results indicate the presence of high oxidative stress both in non-fibrotic skin and fibrotic skin of SSc patients, but with higher tendency in the latter. Raised ROS levels in non-fibrotic skin of SSc patients might be a hint of early involvement in skin fibrogenesis. However, a longitudinal prospective study is necessary for such proof.

Liège syrup is a Belgian traditional cooked fruit foodstuff, produced mainly from apples and pears. The process includes several hours of heating at high temperature during which complex chemical reactions occur, such as Maillard condensation between reducing sugars and amino acids. Aiming at understanding the modifications of the fruit juices during heating, different parameters were monitored throughout the process. It was shown that hydoxymethylfurfural was formed during the first step of concentration by heating. At the end of the process, hydroxymethylfurfural had totally disappeared and the deep brown color of the product suggested that this compound was transformed into melanoidins. A parallel increase in antioxidant capacity was also observed. To determine optimal conditions to reach high melanoidin content and high antioxidant capacity, different in vitro model systems were compared. It was shown that different combinations of an amino acid with glucose or fructose led to different levels of hydroxymethyfurfural, of melanoidins and antioxidant capacity. After heating of apple or pear puree, an increase of the antioxidant capacity and the hydroxymethylfurfural and melanoidin contents was observed when the heating time was doubled. An increase of the pH from 5 to 9 in apple marmalade's also induced an increase in antioxidant capacity and in hydroxymethylfurfural and melanoidins. However it was not the case in pear marmalade where only the increase in antioxidant capacity was observed. These results suggest that some parameters of the processing could be modified to improve the health-promoting effect of this traditional food (antioxidant properties and composition in hydroxymethylfurfural and melanoidins). The main factors affecting the quality of the final product were the cooking times, the temperature, the pH, the addition of reducing sugars or amino acids.

Since a few years, more and more attention has been specifically given to dietary antioxidants as agents promoting health and preventing the incidence of diseases. As part of these efforts, analytical methods and assays have been developed to measure the antioxidant content in food substances. In this paper, the antioxidant capacity of 17 orange juices is determined by various assays (DPPH, ORAC, heamolysis, xanthine/xanthine oxidase) as the content in ascorbic acid and total phenolics. The results evidence all the complexity to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant capacity of foods. In very general terms, in spite of the wide utilization in these tests (FRAP, TAC, ORAC TRAP and others), their significance remains obscure. The discrepancy of the results and the absence of good correlation between the assays clearly highlight all the importance of understanding the strengths and weakness of assays evaluating antioxidant potential of a food at the risk of giving erroneous information to the consumer. It is clear that the use of "total antioxidant capacity" assays for the in vitro assessment of antioxidant quality of food does not be employed by food industrials as a marketing argument or for the assessment of the "wholesomeness" of a food.

Defect in apoptosis has been implicated as a major cause of resistance to chemotherapy observed in B cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B CLL). This study evaluated the pro-apoptotic effect of an anthocyanin-rich dietary bilberry extract (Antho 50) on B CLL cells from 30 patients and on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy subjects, and determined the underlying mechanism. Antho 50 induced concentration- and time-dependent pro-apoptotic effects in B CLL cells isolated from patients but little or no effect in PBMCs. Among the main phenolic compounds present in this bilberry extract, delphinidin-3-O-glucoside and delphinidin-3-O-rutinoside showed the highest apoptotic effect on B CLL cells, suggesting that anthocyanins play a main role in the cytotoxic activity. Antho 50-induced apoptosis is associated with activation of caspase 3 and down-regulation of the anti-apoptotic protein UHRF1. Antho 50 induced also rapid dephosphorylation of Akt and Bad, and down-regulation of Bcl-2 resulting in reduced cell viability. Antho 50 significantly induced PEG-catalase-sensitive formation of reactive oxygen species in B CLL cells. PEG-catalase prevented the Antho 50-induced reduced cell viability, induction of apoptosis, up-regulation of caspase 3, down-regulation of UHRF1 and Bcl-2, and dephosphorylation of Bad. The present findings indicate that Antho 50 exhibits strong pro-apoptotic activity through redox-sensitive caspase 3 activation-related mechanism in B CLL cells involving dysregulation of Bad/Bcl-2 pathway. This activity is due, at least in part, to a composition rich on glucoside and rutinoside derivatives of delphinidin. They further suggest that Antho 50 has chemotherapeutic potential by targeting selectively B CLL cells. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 28 (6 ULg)

Lyndon Baines Johnson Library opens Gulf of Tonkin recordings and newly declassified portion of The Pentagon Papers
Contact: Anne Wheeler, Public Relations Manager 512-721-0216 or email@example.com
Ordering Information: Contact the Reading Room at ext. 234
The Lyndon Baines Johnson Library has opened two small but significant additions to the historical record of the Vietnam War. The first is a series of recordings of telephone conversations on August 4 and 5, 1964, concerning the attacks on US destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin. These recordings were made in the Department of Defense and compiled in late August. In all, there are 51 conversations -about 2 hours, 15 minutes of recorded time--between high-level military officials, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, as well as duty officers at the Pentagon and Hawaii reporting on events as they unfolded on those days. The conversations are available in the Library's Reading Room and on two CDs. Thirty-eight conversations were transcribed by the Department of Defense, and this 74-page transcript is also available. Researchers should be cautioned, however, that the transcripts are not always reliable and should never be used without checking them against the actual recordings to assure accuracy. The Library has also fully declassified what has become known as the "Negotiating Volumes" of the Pentagon Papers. Officially titled United States - Vietnam Relations, 1945-1967, the Pentagon Papers were compiled in the Department of Defense to document US involvement in the Vietnam conflict. In a highly controversial move, Daniel Ellsberg, who had gained access to the Papers while working as a consultant at the RAND Corporation, leaked the bulk of the study-but not these sections dealing with peace negotiations--to the New York Times in 1971. The Nixon Administration attempted to suppress publication of the Papers but in a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court rejected the government's request for a restraining order. While the papers themselves revealed few new secrets about US involvement in the war, their publication undoubtedly contributed to increased opposition to the war and public distrust of the government. A sanitized version of the previously unreleased negotiating volumes was opened in 1977 and subsequently published in 1983 by the University of Texas Press in a volume edited by George Herring. Now, the 115 pages that were previously restricted have been declassified and opened. While the new material is a small fraction of the entire Pentagon Papers, its release marks a significant milestone in the history of this controversial and significant study. The events surrounding the journey of these documents from government secrets to publication and release are perhaps even more interesting and are very topical at the moment. How are we to manage government secrecy, freedom of the press, and individual rights in the interests of both national security and democracy?

When I was 10 years old, I wrote a short story about how the Russians invaded Scottsdale, Arizona, killing my grade-school principal, P.E. coach, and all the bullies who'd given me a hard time. My family escaped the takeover, barely, when my next-door neighbor flew over our house in his helicopter just when Soviet tanks began to roll down the street.
This story obviously wasn't true. My neighbor flew a Cessna, not a helicopter. I even turned it in for an assignment. I guess the difference between 1980 and 2005 is that I didn't go to jail for writing fiction.
Eighteen-year-old William Poole, a junior at George Rogers Clark High in Clark County, Kentucky, is being held in county jail after police discovered, in his journal, a short story that he'd written about zombies attacking a high school. Poole faces a second-degree felony terrorist threatening charge. "My story is based on fiction," he says. "It's a fake story. I made it up. I've been working on one of my short stories, (and) the short story they found was about zombies. Yes, it did say a high school. It was about a high school over ran by zombies."
It's entirely possible that Poole might be trying to work an angle here. A report in the local newspaper says that police suspect he was trying to organize a gang to stage an armed takeover of the school. And he was tipped off to the cops by his grandparents. The situation, as they say, is developing.
But at the moment, a teenager in Kentucky is in jail for the crime of writing a zombie story. When you sign on to his school's Free Speech Message Board, all you get now is a rendition of "Taps." Someone should follow through on this story, or give me a freelance assignment so I can follow through on this story.
The irony is that in 28 days, Poole will wake up in his jail cell. The town will be deserted. Or so he'll think....

I appreciate any light you could shed on the following.
Making a dwarf cleric of Abadar. He has NO combat potential, but he could bargain Asmodeus for the keys to hell's winecellar.
He is level 8, he has leadership, he has a leadership score of 16 and this nets him the following:
- A level 6 Cohort
- 25 level 1 followers
- 2 level 2 followers
- 1 level 3 followers
He has also employed 30 trained hirelings for 3sp per person, per day, to act as mercenary guards for him.
So now this guy is travelling with a train of his lieutenant and 58 armed guards to protect his merchant caravan.
What is my CR and APL? I am sure that normally you'd not experience a 1 player party, but for the sake of simplicity. Is my CR altered because of my hirelings? Because of my followers? Because of my cohort? All or some of the above? If my CR/APL is changed how do I calculate the new outcome?
The caravan travel across some plains and some monstrous critter(level appropriate) pops out of the ground, sends guards flying ass over teakettle and starts gnawing on the wagonwheel. Focussed fire occurs and the thing is minced in 1 round.
How is the EXP shared? Is it shared? Do I get full experience for the encounter, despite the effort of the hirelings, or is it spread across 59 people?
As tends to happen in these worlds, some of the trained hirelings die. They are all buried and their gear is tossed in one of the wagons. As the caravan arrives in a new city, the gear of the dead soldiers is sold and their last wages are mailed, along with the profits, to their families. Now to replace the dead minions.
The rules for hirelings say that 3sp is the typical daily wage for your everyday mercenary warrior. It also states that this is minimum wage. I assume this means that 3sp trained hirelings of the mercenary variety would equeate to level 1 warriors. What if I wanted to hire level 3 warriors? How about a level 2 ranger? How much would the prize increase? What about spellcasters? They tend to charge by the spell, but let's say I put a journeyman wizard on retainer, paying him... I dunno... 500gp a month for his spellcasting services. Could I freely access his spellcasting?
Thanks in advance

Question 1: I think you would have a CR of 12 if everyone is fighting, but you don't want to do that because you don't want to have everyone killed.
Question 2: Experience is not shared. Hirelings and Followers don't level up. Cohorts level up but they gain exp in a different way. Check the Leadership feat for exact details.
Question 3: I would actually have 3 sp be for a level 3 warrior. This is a question for your GM to be honest. If you are the GM, remember that the higher the level the rarer the NPC. Check out the free hireling PDF here on the Paizo site. Just search for it.
Thank you for your response Caleb.
Why do you think the CR would increase? Is it just your judgement or is there a rule somewhere you are using? Could you point me to it?
I agree with you on point 2, but could you perhaps also cite the source for hirelings not leveling up?
And in regards to the hireling pdf, thank you, I'll go look for that :)
|CalebTGordan RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2015 Top 32
I just used my judgement on the CR increase. There is a way to figure out the exact CR. However, in your case it is a bit in the grey area because of the range of levels you are dealing with. 30 level 1 warriors would be CR 10 all on their own, but wouldn't really challenge a party with an APL of 8. When added to someone who is level 8 and who has a level 6 cohort, they just become shields and aids. They also become really annoying in combat if you insist on rolling for every last one of them, but that is a different matter. So, adding in your character and the cohort (no followers) you now have two contenders and 30 shields. The hireling warriors help keep foes away from you and you and your cohort kill from a a distance. Considering that you are at CR 7 all on your own I would add in about 5 to adjust for the cohort and the hirelings. Most of that 5 is your cohort.
That isn't how it is supposed to be done, but that is how I got there. You are supposed to look at the CR and the experience point awards they give individually. Add up all the experience points and refer to a table (in link below) to find the CR. That is kind of doing it backwards, as usually you have the CR already and you just split up the experience points to find what you can use in an encounter.
Check out this page on more information on APL and CR.
As for point 2: Do you mean hireling or follower?
Followers do not level up. It says so in the Leadership Feat in the last paragraph. It starts, "Followers don't earn experience and thus don't gain levels."
There isn't enough written about hirelings (officially) to say if they gain levels or not. I would rule that they don't gain experience from encounters, but might have a chance to gain a level every year or so. It would be easier to just hire higher level hirelings.
Note that 3sp/day is for trained hirelings and is a minimum wage. Your GM should set the rate, but I rule in my games that when it comes to mercenaries, 1sp per warrior level or 3sp per level in any of the core classes (fighter, ranger, cavalier.)

We generally use ordinary straight needles for routine sewing operations such as binding stitched pamphlets and attaching end sheets. Occasionally there is a project for which a curved needle is the better tool for the job. We use a simple and specific method for securing the thread to the needle after the needle is threaded, which involves piercing the thread with the needle's point and pulling the thread back over the eye end of the needle. This technique is documented in the tutorials for those treatments which involve the use of needle and thread. Small-size coffee cans serve well as holders for both needles and thread, as shown.

There's only two ways to really look at every decision you make as a father: either you'll do it just like you're father or nothing like him. That goes for everything in life, because the any choice in life we make is binary. With all the exposure I have to children via my godson, nephews, and my own students, I've gotten a good grasp of the ins and outs of what it takes to be a full-fledged father. Some of my colleagues remark that we ought to have licenses for parenthood, and I almost tend to agree. As a baby-raiser, you're a gaga-interpreter, a butt-wiper, a food-hunter-then-preparer-then-feeder-cleaner-repeater, a gyrator-stirrer-shaker-human-bassinet, sleep-deprivation-survivor, and model for every sound that comes out of this little human. It's a tremendous responsibility that takes almost as much time as living itself, and fatherhood administered properly, is a gift some don't appreciate often enough. You're a first-hand future-creator-vis-a-vis-this-little-person. He / she doesn't need to be Neo, Joan of Arc, or Patrick Ewing, but they're a reflection of the person who spawned them. That's why, when I have an inner dialogue with my dualities about my experience with the fatherhood done unto me, I always come back to the fact that building the strong relationship with my future son comes first. As far as I'm concerned, everything else comes secondary and tertiary. The process in my evolution towards this role has humbled me to no end, and I'm ever grateful for it.
Which is the first part of the pattern-breaking …

Mormons Caught in Pantspocalypse!
Rachael Givens, Patheos
And the Mormon Moment grabs the spotlight again- with Pantspocalypse!
A nutshell attempt: Mormon feminist Stephanie Lauritzen vents online about the slow, tip-toeing steps Mormon Feminism has tried to take towards gender equality over the past decades. She urges women to "stop playing nice" and model American suffragists by "starting a revolution" of civil disobedience to effect (mostly) cultural and policy-related changes. She and other women form the group All Enlisted, whose first move is to unite all LDS women and feminists by wearing pants to church services on Sunday. Complication and confusion ensue from a symbol that highlights the ambiguous line between culture and doctrine. Officially, pants are not prohibited; culturally, many (but not...

I read your report this morning about the turkeys and have to post my own observations. I have a flock of turkeys that have been living behind my house. They actually showed up Thanksgiving night just after we finished eating our wild turkey dinner. There's 6 hens and 3 jakes (1 year old gobblers) in the flock. I love waking up in the morning to their gobbles, best alarm clock there is. I sit on the deck almost every moring and every evening watching them. Until yesterday morning, only 1 of the jakes would strut and boss the other 2 around Yesterday morning, all 3 starting strutting and showing each other up. On to the real part of the story.
I've got pictures of them in the neighbors yard between the deck and trampoline. I've been wanting to get some pictures of them in the field in a less suburban setting. One day they were in a field where I could get a good picture of them, so threw on some camo, grabbed the Nikon, and was sneaking down the wood line to get closer. Now I'm not an expert stalker, but I do have a pretty impressive trophy room, so I'd like to think I know what I'm doing. Well, these things proved me wrong. They spotted me sneaking from 300 yards away, started "putting" at me and walked over the hill and away. Later that night I was sitting on the deck enjoying a beverage, and the turkeys came down the fence line right behind the house like they do every night, however this night, the neighbors boy (probably 8 years old) was behind his house. He ran down the hill and right into the middle of them. The turkeys were startled however, they didn't run or fly. He then proceded to take a stick and "shoot" every one of them. Made me feel like a fool.
Turkey season comes in this weekend, hopefully I'll have a little better luck calling them in and I had on my stalk. The turkeys behind my house are safe, I get more enjoyment out of watching them than I would eating them. Have a safe hunt in Kentucky.
Here's the view from the deck.
turkey parade
Last week driving down the mountain on Robeson Rd. in Wears Valley my wife and I spied crossing a little ways in front of us a line of wild turkeys. And, indeed, on the road and behind the fence in the cow pasture, they were in a line as if 'the boss' had told them to line up so a whole bunch would not get hit at once should a vehicle zoom up too quickly. Anyway, some had already passed when we started counting. Thirteen remained to cross in front of us and not a single beard seen in the bunch. Looked like last years' jakes and some hens. Guess the bearded gobblers were off somewhere else 'taking care of business'!

Fast Epoxy Glue, 10ml
Fast Epoxy Glue, 10mlPI Manufacturing provides the fast-working epoxy glue to assist with the assembly of optical fiber networking. The glue requires only 5 minutes to adhere the connector to the optical fiber. After the application of the combined resin and hardner, crimp right away. Once it has fastened, the only way to undo the process would be to cleave the fiber and repeat the process. Other benefits that are gained through the use of the epoxy glue are their chemical and heat resistant properties, as well as their insulating properties.

Could you show your work?
Can anyone help me solve this - I get negative values...
When I go swimming, the distance in meters that I can swim before getting cramp in one of my hands is exponentially distributed with mean 332.4 meters. What is the probability that, on a random occasion when I go swimming, I swim a total of at most 493.1 meters without getting hand cramp given that I swim at least 324.5 meters without getting cramp?
Thanks, F
Now i just get zero for all my probabilities:
Can you confirm that the question is asking:
P(x=493.1| 324.5<X<493.1) because to not get cramp would mean swimming the longest distance before getting it?
However, when I use these big numbers in the standard exp dist functions of:
letting lamda = 332.4, a = 324.5, b = 493.1 and z = 493.1
( exp (-lamda*z)-exp(-lamda*a) ) / ( exp (-lamda*b)-exp(-lamda*a))
Which would cancel (must mean I'm wrong somewhere). But even putting in exp(-163906) it always zeros?!?
First, , so .
Second, exponential distribution is continuous, so the probability that equals any concrete real number is zero.
I think that "swim a total of at most 493.1 meters" means and "swim at least 324.5 meters" means . So, the question is to find . Now you can use the memorylessness property of the exponential distribution.Can you confirm that the question is asking:
P(x=493.1| 324.5<X<493.1)

Hi everyone.
As I'm sure all of you are, I'm excited for you guys to see the final 4 submissions. They are all very creative and really good. I've really been impressed with the contestants this year. Everyone did a great job. In the end, I recommended two of the four for your final consideration, and I specifically recommended one of them to be the winner. But in the end the voting is up to you. I am certain you will like them and I am just as certain you will particularly enjoy James' brilliant commentary on the four submissions.
I wanted to take a second to say something that I think makes Paizo and Pathfinder great. I have long thought that it is the obligation of the publisher of D&D (and who is kidding who, I feel strongly that Pathfinder is both the moral and historical successor to D&D, but I don't want to start that debate) to teach people how to create great adventures. The old Dungeon magazine did that by example and Paizo does that now with the APs and modules. I don't know that adventure design has ever existed at a higher level than it does now under Paizo's watch. So take some time and really dig through James' comments, not only as comments on contestants, but also as thoughts of one of the pre-eminent designers/developers in the history of fantasy roleplaying. It is really a pleasure to see design in action and I hope the fans take the chance to learn about adventure design as a byproduct of this great contest.
So my hat (if I wore one) is off to the contestants this year and to Paizo for this amazing contest. And I can't wait to see what all of you think.

"So the customer essentially handed the banker a blank check,"
Wells Fargo Fined $185 Million for Fraudulently Opening Accounts [The New York Times] "For years, Wells Fargo employees secretly issued credit cards without a customer's consent. They created fake email accounts to sign up customers for online banking services. They set up sham accounts that customers learned about only after they started accumulating fees. On Thursday, these illegal banking practices cost Wells Fargo $185 million in fines, including a $100 million penalty from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the largest such penalty the agency has issued. Federal banking regulators said the practices, which date back to 2011, reflected serious flaws in the internal culture and oversight at Wells Fargo, one of the nation's largest banks. The bank has fired at least 5,300 employees who were involved. In all, Wells Fargo employees opened roughly 1.5 million bank accounts and applied for 565,000 credit cards that may not have been authorized by customers, the regulators said in a news conference. The bank has 40 million retail customers." [more inside]

Wall Street begins playing again with the same matches that burned the economy in 2008 From the New York Times: "The banks that created risky amalgams of mortgages and loans during the boom — the kind that went so wrong during the bust — are busily reviving the same types of investments that many thought were gone for good.

Everything's fucked up, and nobody goes to jail. You can end the piece right there.
Over drinks at a bar on a dreary, snowy night in Washington this past month, a former Senate investigator laughed as he polished off his beer.

The Warning
Tonight on PBS, Frontline airs a new investigative report entitled The Warning (sneak peaks 1 & 2), which profiles Brooksley Born, who (as head of the CFTC from '96-'99) was almost alone among regulators in warning of the potential dangers of derivatives.
The Fate of Derivatives Regulation
Last week the House Committee on Financial Services approved legislation to regulate derivatives. Some critics contend that the legislation does not go far enough, and there is fear that there are too many exemptions to the rules: reforming the $42 trillion market for credit swaps is crucial if taxpayers are to be protected from future rescues of institutions deemed not only too big but also too interconnected to fail.

The Mobile Help Desk Tote
Well, it was bound to happen sometime. The world has gone mobile and we have followed suit. This is the v1 edition of our mobile help desk app and I have to say, as a completely unbiased key member of the development team, I'm really happy with how this worked out (I'll try not to break my arm as I pat myself on the back). That being said let's dig into it a little shall we.
HTML5 is all the rage. It's what all the cool kids are doing.
At the very beginning of the process, we had to decide whether or not to develop an app based around a device (native), or to think broader and include the other 60% of the country that wasn't on an iPhone. It was a short lived discussion. Barring the fact we couldn't afford to hire an army of new developers specifically for this task, and knowing the long lead times for developing native apps, the decision was pretty simple. However, simply building an HTML5 app comes with its own set of challenges, chief among them was getting info in and out.
API? Why bring monkeys into this?
As we we're in the initial phases of rough mockups for the app and workflow, our engineers were hard at work creating an API that everyone could use. This meant that it had to be useful beyond just the capabilities of our mobile app. It had to perform fast, easy to understand and be well documented (that last one is still in the works).
Enough of that, tell me how it works.
I'm glad you asked, let's dig in.
#1 – Point your browser to http://m.sherpadesk.com. "But Ben" you say, "Why don't I have to download this to my phone through iTunes or through Google Play store or whatever other store there is?". Great question. Well, you see, that's the great part of it being an HTML5 solution. No matter what type of device you have, you can access the same app from anywhere.
#2 – Bookmark the site to your home screen. This will help you find it again later on.

If you are interested in working with Dos Manos and staying at least
6 months in Peru, please contact us. There are always opportunities to
work with us depending on the season and your skills. To give you an
idea: we are mostly interested in people with the following backgrounds:
marketing, tourism, administration, translation, computer science, etc.
Please consider that you will not become rich in Peru, but we will give
you a great working abroad experience in a real nice, international atmosphere
with a lot of space for your own creativity.
For more info please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Officially, your tourist visa does not allow you to work and it is
really complicated to get a working permit. However, there are opportunities
some to stay longer and work. Most of these jobs are in restaurants/bars
and you should just stop by once you are in town. It will be hard to
arrange something beforehand via the internet. You can also try to get
a job as an English Teacher at one of the Language Schools or you can
approach a Travel Agency.
Participants may choose both the field and preferred location of their
volunteer placement. Possible fields of interest include social work,
education, tourism, cultural work and catering. While most of AMAUTA's
projects take place in Cusco, there are also projects in other locations.
A complete list of the 30 projects can be sent upon request.
You will need to have a minimum of eight weeks to dedicate to the Volunteer
Program. The first four weeks of the program will be spent studying
Spanish, while the volunteer placement will continue for four weeks
more. During
the Spanish Course you can choose where to stay, either with a host
family or in our Student House. During your volunteer work you will
be staying
at the AMAUTA Student House with other students and volunteers.
