St. Lawrence University is a member of the Undergraduate ALFALFA Team, a consortium of 19 institutions engaged in a program sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to promote undergraduate research within the ALFALFA project.
The Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey is an on-going blind survey of extragalactic neutral hydrogen (HI). The survey uses the largest single dish radio telescope in the world, the 305-meter (1000-ft.) dish at the Arecibo Observatory, in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. When the survey is completed, ALFALFA will have detected more than 25,000 extragalactic HI line sources out to z~0.06.
The NSF funded a 5-year undergraduate workshop, held at the observatory, in which students and their faculty mentors have the opportunity to operate the telescope, and students present the results of their own research. A new grant from the NSF continues the project for a 3-year follow up survey, in which we go back and investigate in further detail interesting objects discovered in the first survey. Students and astronomers from St. Lawrence have attended all the workshops, as well as other observing sessions. Photos from our trips to the observatory are found below.

New Zealand's national sport has been lambasted as a sexist institution and the "last bastion of chauvinism" after a report found women were excluded from decision-making at all levels of the game.
The NZRU has never had a female voice at the boardroom table, while of 194 board positions at provincial level, just five (two of which are on the Auckland Rugby Board) are taken by women.
The glaring imbalance prompted Dr Judy McGregor, in her former role at the Human Rights Commission, to launch a campaign late last year pushing for the inclusion of a female representative on the NZRU board.
Asked if rugby was an inherently sexist establishment, Dr McGregor replied: "Absolutely. The figures show it.
"When you have absolutely no women involved in the decision-making ... despite the fact women hold many rugby clubs together, it shows there is a big problem.
I honestly can't believe it - the numbers are deplorable."
McGregor, who authored the 2012 census report into women's participation, found that generally national sporting organisations are getting their act together when it comes to female representation on boards.
Data gathered over the past decade shows the number of sports that have women in governance positions is slowly but surely improving.
But rugby is one of three "recalcitrant sports" - the other two being shooting and curling - that do not have any females on their national board.
Given the profile rugby enjoys in this country, McGregor said she felt compelled to single out the NZRU.
"Sports governance is a critical area for female representation - given its significance to our national identity, rugby should be a leader, not the last bastion of chauvinism.
"I think at all levels there needs to be reform and change."
The criticism of the NZRU comes at a time when many sporting organisations are making a point of ensuring women are more visible in their game. In Australia, the NRL has an annual "women in league" round aimed at celebrating the achievements and growth of female involvement in their sport, while at the same time encouraging those in the game to push even harder to break new barriers.
The initiative has helped improve the competition's image from that of being a blokey sport rife with misogyny, to one which is more inclusive - although the ploy will continue to look like tokenism while unsavoury incidents involving some of the game's stars and women continue.
Former Black Fern Louisa Wall said the NZRU has been slow to recognise the value female leaders can bring to their game.
"Women are a huge contributor to rugby in New Zealand. It's not just the playing base, but it's the business of rugby. There were just as many women at the Rugby World Cup final as men," said Wall, Labour's spokesperson for sport and recreation.
"The NZRU don't seem to have caught up with the fact that women watch rugby, they play the game, they buy All Blacks jerseys - it's our national sport."
Wall has twice put her name forward for top rugby governance positions.
She applied for one of the independent seats on the NZRU board, and more recently tried for a position on the Blues board - "I didn't even get an interview for the Blues board, it's such an old boys' network."
As director on the Maori Rugby board, Wall's former teammate, Farah Palmer, is one of the few women that have any say in the strategic direction of the game. Palmer said the way rugby's constitution is structured, the only avenue females have of forcing their way into the NZRU boardroom is through their two independent seats.
"It's very difficult for women to get on to the [national] board, because you have to be on a provincial rugby union board, and then you have to be nominated by predominantly men who have been involved in rugby and know one another from their playing days.
"So the pathways to get on to those boards is limiting for women," said Palmer.
Since 2007, the NZRU has sought applications for five independent directorship terms but despite receiving 24 applications from women over that time, none were successful.
NZRU chairman Mike Eagle was unavailable for an interview for the series, but in a statement (below) he acknowledged the fact they had no gender diversity on the board "is an issue for us".
Eagle said the profile of the women's game was increasing with the inclusion of sevens rugby in the Olympic programme, which he believed would lead to more women putting their hands up for leadership roles.
"As participation increases, we hope, and expect, more women will want to be involved off the field, including in governance roles, as has happened with other sports," he said.
McGregor believes the NZRU needs to follow the lead from league and cricket and be more proactive about involving women. It was not enough for the NZRU to change its constitution to allow for greater diversity if it was not going to result in any real change.
"Contemporary organisations have contemporary boards, and if you continue to have an entirely all-male rugby board, that is saying something to the world."

14 Most Inspiring John Green Quotes
You'll totally wish you went to Bayside High once you see all the hilarious situations Zack Morris and his group of friends get into. Like William McKinley High, Bayside is full of LOL drama, high school romance, and the occasional cheesy-but-true lesson from principal Mr. Belding (SBTB's Mr. Schue). You'll fall in love with Zack and his crew and their hilarious, antics in the same way you can't get enough of New Directions old and new, but like Glee, they deal with the tough issues many students face, too. "Jessie's Song" is an episode you won't want to miss.

Like The Fosters, Dawson's Creek is filled with tons of addictive drama, as Dawson and his friends deal with all the ups and downs of high school and college. At the heart of it all is the relationship between Dawson and his BGF (best girl friend), tomboy Joey Potter (played by Katie Holmes), which gets extra complicated when new-girl Jen (Michelle Williams) moves in next door. The love triangles are enough to keep you hooked for all eight seasons, as you switch back and forth between Team Dawson and Team Pacey (Dawson's other bestie played by Joshua Jackson)!

Please join Teachers 4 Social Justice , the Center for Political Education, Vampire Slayers, and Rethinking Schools for a critical dialogue on the intersection between school closures, the current attacks on City College of San Francisco, and forces of gentrification. We will be joined by Pauline Lipman, an activist scholar on the coordinating committee of Teachers for Social Justice in Chicago, and a nationally recognized analyst of the school closure epidemic and the connection between school closings and gentrification.
Public education is now under a withering assault from forces of privatization and gentrification. City College of San Francisco is being rapidly downsized and threatened with closure. To win our local struggles, we need a big-picture analysis of the epidemic of K-12 school closures going on all over the country, overwhelmingly in African American and Latino/a communities—particularly in gentrifying neighborhoods, where thousands of low-income housing units are also being demolished. Everywhere charter schools spring up in the place of public schools, often in the same spruced-up buildings—private, non-union, often with selective admission schools that exclude the children of the closed public schools. Pauline Lipman calls this a corporate "business plan masquerading as an education plan." Postsecondary organizers MUST understand the K-12 playbook, because that story is played out 30 years further.
What is the resistance movement that is now under way at the national level? How does it articulate issues of racism/white supremacy? How can we build an effective movement that can really impact and ultimately stop this motion? How can we articulate compelling alternatives toward transformative education justice and the right to the city?
Suggested Donation of $5-$10 at the door. No one turned away for lack of funds.

How many of you have a sick sense of humor side! What kind of jokes/pranks have you played on your friends or families?
Many years ago, my brother and I were elk hunting with my high school age daughter who was/is slightly gullible. We had been on a long morning hunt and stopped to have a bite to eat on the side of an old logging skid road. One of my brothers favorite snacks are dates, which if you think about it looks rather like an elk dropping. So anyway, where we stopped just happened to have a large pile of elk droppings at his feet. Without my daughter realizing it, he palmed a date and also picked up an elk pellet. As he was examining the pellet he started this story about how the indians of the area from the olden days would eat the pellets as a kind of vitamin. We were "discussing" this when he wondered out loud what they tasted like. I of course encouraged him to taste one to find out. Meanwhile my daughter is sitting there watching and listening to this with a mix of interest and disgust when my brother hiding the pellet, popped the palmed date into his mouth and started munching away and calmly asked my daughter if she wanted to try one! She found a renewed interest in her sandwich and mumbled no thank you! When the joke was up and she hit both of us and had a good laugh.
What stories do you have?

Oral Health is an essential part of a healthy life
Tooth decay (cavities) is the single most common chronic disease of childhood, occurring five to eight times as much as asthma. Poor oral health has recently been linked to heart disease, low birth weight and diabetes.
Despite the reduction in cases of decay in recent years, nationally more than half of all children have cavities by the second grade, and by the time students finish high school, about 80 percent have cavities. Unless it is stopped early, dental decay is irreversible.
The good news is that dental disease is mostly preventable, and Vermont ranks high among other states in the number of people who access dental services.

- Nude Celebrities: TV Stars Gone Bad!
- Nude Celebrities: TV Stars Gone Bad!
I know, you're just like me. You're sitting around and watching Leverage and you're just as in love with Parker (Beth Riesgraf) and you think to yourself, "God she is so damn cute! I wish she did porn!" I know, I feel the same damn way. A couple of years ago it dawned on me that if a celebrity has been nude on film, it's on the internet somewhere. If it's on the internet somewhere, I am going to find it!
Now I don't spend all day long looking this shit up. But, I have my moments, where I just have to wonder. So I get up and type in the name of a celebrity from the TV show I am watching and I start my hunt! Now I haven't got a lot of these nude celebrities, these TV Stars gone bad but I have found enough to get us started and with any luck we can make this a regular addition to the usual posts of nips slips, pokies, up-skirts and so on.
So let's get started, alphabetically by first name shall we…
Alyssa Milano From the films, Embrace of the Vampire and Caught in the Act! But we know her best from Charmed or if you're as old as I am, you remember the cute little girl from Who's the Boss? I have always loved her. In fact, I was in the 8th grade when I first heard of her. One day a girl I had the biggest crush on, her name was Kerry and my friend David who was 2 years older than me, drove out to Hollywood for the day. We were approached some dude handing out tickets to a new TV show and asked if we wanted to go, we said "Sure!". That show was Who's the Boss?. It wasn't even out yet. I believe we saw was the taping of the 3rd episode in the very first season. Now, being that I was in the 8th grade and Alyssa was obviously a few years younger than I was at the time, I still thought she was cutie, but too young for my mature 8th grade self. I had forgotten about her until she appeared out of nowhere for some exercise video and I haven't stopped drooling since. She is and always be about as perfect it gets.
Well I am gonna try to go alphabetically, but since I did Alyssa I thought I might as well grab the rest of the cast from Charmed. So here we go…

Longleaf pine forests are the most diverse ecosystem in North America, with 500 species per square kilometer. But many of us, myself included, have missed the forest for the trees: Although these forests are limited in tree diversity, they are exceptionally rich in plant and animal diversity. The number of species endemic to this system is astounding: Researchers counted 925 in one longleaf subtype alone. Longleaf, Far as the Eye Can See: A New Vision of North America's Richest Forest (University of North Carolina Press, $35), by Bill Finch, Beth Maynor Young, Rhett Johnson and John C. Hall, offers 11 essays on these forests, including numerous photographs that cultivate appreciation for the beauty of the tree itself; of the unique, pyrophytic species it supports; and of the breathtaking landscape it creates.
Longleaf pine savanna is one of the only ecosystems that is both forest and meadow. The book reveals this dynamic system in panoramic images of golden light filtering through trees and illuminating long grasses beneath. And there's no shortage of close-ups. Shown at right is a longleaf seed germinating at the Solon Dixon Forestry Center in Andalusia, Alabama.
Longleaf was once so common that it was hardly remarked upon, and ecologists are only now beginning to understand the forest that once covered 90 million acres of North America and now covers 3 million. The final sections of the book detail potential restoration solutions for the longleaf that remains, including fire management and profitable investment strategies. Longleaf is not a story of loss, but one of deep reverence for the grandeur and mystery of these regions.

Lawyers ready for key hearing in theater shooting
CENTENNIAL, Colo. - Prosecutors and defense lawyers said they're ready for a crucial hearing next week in which prosecutors will outline their case against Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes.
During a hearing Wednesday, prosecutors and defense lawyers also discussed with Judge William Sylvester a sealed motion from the prosecution that made some reference to witnesses. Sylvester said he planned to rule on it later in the day but wouldn't refer to witnesses by name.
Holmes didn't say anything during the half-hour hearing.
The next hearing starts Monday and is scheduled to run all week. At its conclusion, Sylvester will decide if the evidence is sufficient to put Holmes on trial.

Myself heard some ticking with the 4.8 I drove and asked the dealer,but they said it was normal. I also heard the same noise on a 3.9 impala that I found out had a recall. any input is great.

I am a fellow IT engineer, do not know much about infosec, however my fellow citizens are being attacked, prosecuted, kidnapped, tortured, killed, humiliated just because they decided to demonstrate against a war criminal dictator Qaddafi. you must have seen it in the news. he is using all his tools including chinese hackers from ZTE, and huawei to censor, block, and attack his opposition websites, and block the media from knowing the truth about what really happens inside. is it ethical to counter hack this corrupt system?

I setup 2 hives and 2 nucs. Both nucs I think have been robbed by the hives.
I opened the hives yesterday and Hive A was barely off the 5 frames they started on and they didn't seem to have huge reserves either. I moved the 5 starter frames into the middle not disturbing their order. I figured when it gets cold they won't be up against the side they had been near.
Hive B has some honey on the 2nd level but only on a quarter of one frame.
Should I start feeding them sugar and/or pollen patties???

This studio is HIGH level! INCREDIBLE, it has oerfect location, you arrive 10 walking minuts until the old town. This is brilliant, super clean, has all you need to enjoy your stay and lovely PRAHA. SUPER TOP apartment. I will come back for sure!
The apartment is comfortable, not far from the historic center (two stops by metro), clean well taken care of. Legerova street is a bit chaotic, but with the double windows the room is well insulated. Also recommended for families. Fabio
Everything was perfect!! The apartment was beautiful and very clean. The staff was very friendly and everything was uncomplicated. We felt very good and enjoyed our stay in this apartment. We will book it again for our next Prague holidays! Thanks a lot!
What an amazing deal for the apartment we had. Nicely furnished, cute decor, and spacious. We forgot what apartment we were getting when we rented at first, but the pictures didn't do it justice. My boyfriend and I stayed there for a very, very reasonable price and it was the perfect place to spend our two days.
The apartment was about a 10-15 minute walk to the city center and about a 10-15 minute walk to the train station. Good location, great price, and good customer service!
The apartment was big, very clean and beautifully decorated. It even had to bathrooms!
The receptionist was very nice and helpful. Our car was to big to fit in their parking, so they found another one for us in a near hotel.
The breakfast was a bit expensive, but they also recommended us other places to go. However, we decided to have breakfast there because it was faster.
The street was quite noisy but with the windows closed it was not a problem to sleep.
It is a long walk to the center, but it is not far from the Wenceslao Square and it is very well connected with tram.
It was a great stay!
Our stay in the Royal Court Apartments was lovely. The apartment was exactly as in the photo. We got an upgrade to a larger place, which was more into the city center. The staff was very friendly and we got a bottle of champagne because of the switch in apartments, which was extremely nice.
Elizabeth was very nice to be in contact with. She gave me a lot of information about the public traffic and how we could get to the apartment. The apartment itself was really specious and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the living room was really nice and cosy to stay in. The only bad thing was that you had to wait for about 5 minutes before the water of the shower was warm. But for the rest, the apartment was just perfect! It was really clean and in good condition and a cleaning lady came by almost every day. We felt really home and we would definately like to visit this place again.
Elizabeth we loved your appartment! It was really neat and clean and we had a very pleasant stay there. If we ever come back to Prague, we would book it again.
Thank you!
Hey Dear Elizabeth,
I would like to thank you for your helpful consults. The location of your building was really perfect and that was a clean apartment but unfortunately there were some disappointing points about the apartment that surprised me and my family. In fact, that was not what I saw in the photos and what I reserved. Your colleague gave us a grunt!!! The radiators were off and my parents in law were really suffering. The refrigerator was really inoperative, all our shops were frozen completely, the fruits, the drinks,… and I'm not sure that the next time I reserved an apartment by Wimdu or not? Because the information published on the site is not at all in accord with reality.
I wish u all the bests,
It was very nice time in Prague. I was so nice suprised about great contact before coming, very good conditions and breakfasts in hotel and very helpful and pleasant staff. I can recommend this hotel for everybody. Thank You very much.

For the defense, I'd try to re-do a bunch of veterans deals, such as Canty, Rolle, and Webster. Free agent wise, I'd go for a DT, ranging from a guy like Jason Jones, to a guy like Glenn Dorsey. Henry Melton isn't too shabby either. I'd also pick up a CB, like Sam Shields.
On offense, I'd really just try to address the OL. The skill positions have a lot of talent, aside from TE really. The receivers are stacked, I'd attempt to re-do Nicks' deal. Wilson's future is bright. Eli is a stud. Re-sign Beatty, sign Sebastian Vollmer, and draft an interior guy, preferably a mauler.

Excerpt: "The Cowboys season is on the line Sunday against the Redskins and Robert Griffin III, who torched Dallas on Thanksgiving Day the last time the teams met.
Dallas doesn't want Griffin to have the same success he did then, and former Cowboys wideout Drew Pearson believes they need to "intimidate" Griffin in order to limit his success."We gave RGIII a lot of confidence playing against the Cowboys in our first game here in Cowboys Stadium so we need to take it to him," Pearson said on KESN-FM 103.3 via theDallas Morning-News.
"We need to let him know that it's not going to be that easy or we're not going to lay down for them and we're not intimidated by him."So how would the Cowboys do that? Well, according to Pearson, they should throw caution to the wind, ignore personal-flag penalties and "send a message" to Griffin by "knock[ing] him around.""The way you do that is you go out on that field and you knock him around. Even if it costs you a 15-yard penalty, and I'm only saying this if it's not a critical situation or anything," Pearson said.
"Sometimes you have to deliver that kind of blow and that kind of message to let him know it's going to be like this all day and not a walk in the park. We need to establish this with RGIII and the Redskins as well."
Pearson's not a member of the Cowboys, per se, so he can't be fined for his comments. But this is the sort of thing the NFL doesn't want to have floating around before a big rivalry." Read more...

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
great tutorial, I am just going to have to look at it a few more times......want to try it. Cool idea!
Aren't you just the clever one. I absolutely love this block and your tute is awesome. Great job!!!!! I am bookmarking this for a future quilt. I just got a boat load of charm packs from Missouri Star Quilt Co. Thanks for sharing.
Neat idea!
Thanks for instructions on how to bookmark. I just did it
WOW! can't wait to get started. picking out fabrics today, Thanks for sharing.Originally Posted by Quiltforme
How nice of you to take the time to share with all of us.
The final size of the block ended up at 7 1/4 square using a 1/4" seem. Mine seems seemed a little big but worked anyways.
I made a square using 5" charms and then made a square using 7" squares. They both turned out so pretty and so easy. Everyone is going to think I work really hard on them. Thank you so much. I'm calling the square "pinwheel 4 patch". Is that ok with you? Bobbie
Large 12 1/2" square
Orginial smaller 7 1/2" square
Great new block! I've bookmarked it, too.
I was going to try the Striped Card Trick for my first quilt with my new Accuquilt Go cutter. Just changed my mind! This will be MUCH FASTER! And it looks so complicated, but only WE know it isn't as complicated as it looks! I'll make my own 6" charm squares with the GO.
Looks great Grannysewer! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Cloverdale murder victim ID'd; Pendleton man jailed
Deputies say he called 911 in Madras to report attack
BEND, Ore. - A Pendleton man was arrested on a murder charge Saturday night after he called Jefferson County 911 from Madras to say he may have killed a woman near Sisters – about the same time Deschutes County deputies were called to a Cloverdale-area home, where a woman's body was found, officials said Sunday.
Joshua Leo Jokinen, 30, of Pendleton, called the Frontier Consolidated Dispatch that serves Jefferson County from a Madras location around 10 p.m. Saturday to report that he might have killed a woman near Sisters, said Deschutes County Sheriff Larry Blanton told NewsChannel 21.
Sheriff's Capt. Tim Edwards said Madras police contacted Jokinen, who arrested him on a parole violation out of Umatilla County and lodged him in the Jefferson County Jail.
Around 10:40 p.m., Blanton said, Deschutes County deputies responded to a home on Kent Road in the Cloverdale area, east of Sisters, when a man who periodically checked in on the woman living there called 911 to report finding her body.
An investigation led to Jokinen's arrest in the Deschutes County homicide, and he was moved to the county jail in Bend, where he remained held without bail Sunday on a charge of murder and the Umatilla County parole violation.
Later Sunday, the sheriff's office identified the victim as Carolyn Grace Burdick, 78. Online information indicates she was a well-known Arabian horse breeder and the owner of Masterpiece Arabians.
After the call from the friend checking on Burdick, Blanton said, "we were able to put it all back together. It's a very strange, senseless act, but one we're taking very seriously. What a tragedy."
Blanton said they still were investigating how Burdick died.
"We may make some additional arrests, but there is no unknown suspect that is causing residents any additional danger," he said. "We've got it figured out, and we've been on it all night, and we have the murder suspect in our facility for murder."
Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty said he arrived at the Cloverdale home around 3 a.m. and that Oregon State Police crime-scene analysts from Portland arrived about 5:30 a.m. to help process the scene.
An autopsy is scheduled Monday morning at the state Medical Examiner's Office near Portland, Flaherty said, and Jokinen will be arraigned Tuesday on the murder charge.
According to unconfirmed scanner reports Saturday night, deputies were called to the Cloverdale home by a friend who went to check on the woman and found her body on the ground, with blood on the floor.
Neighbor Vernie Merritt told NewsChannel 21 she didn't hear or see anything strange in the hours leading up to the discovery, but her heart dropped when she saw police cars surrounding Burdick's home Saturday night.
Merritt said Burdick was kind and loving, and an active part of the community.
Jokinen has a long criminal history. He was living in Madras in 2006 when he was sentenced that August to nearly six years in prison for an assault that seriously injured a Jefferson County man. Police said he struck a man several times with a trailer hitch ball in an unprovoked attack, causing a skull fracture.
Jokinen, who was on probation at the time for methamphetamine possession, fled the scene but was arrested about two weeks later in Crook County, police said.
He was charged with attempted murder and second-degree assault in the Madras attack, but later pleaded guilty to the assault charge in a plea deal in which the attempted murder charge was dismissed.
Online records indicate Jokinen also was arrested in March of this year in Umatilla County on a parole violation charge. In Deschutes County, he was arrested in December 2004 on a charge of violating a restraining order, and in June and September 2005 on second-degree theft charges.
Sheryl Webb Pack, the mother of the murder suspect's young son, told NewsChannel 21 she wanted to offer their "most sincere apology to the family and to the victim. They are in our hearts." She also said she believed he never should have been released from prison and had experienced many years of physical and mental abuse.
"I am truly sorry for the loss of this poor lady. My heart is broken," she wrote.
We will have a full report tonight on NewsChannel 21 at Six.

DEFENDER - favour gain from defending objectives against enemies[ Edited ]
I was reading a post by P4e about not feeling like you have a significant impact on the game as a Poseidon player.
Honestly, if I play tank/support Poseidon, and I focus on holding an area while waiting for back-up, the end of the game seriously doesn't reflect the hard work you've put in fending off attackers from taking an alter.
So I propose to you all: the "DEFENDER" mechanic
In 4v4 TFotG when an alter is captured, all allied units around the alter become flagged as defenders. What this means that within a certain radius of the alter, the defending warrior is able to gain (either combat or objective; alternatively a DEFENSE section for favour could be included in 4v4 TFotG) favour for defending the alter.
For each enemy within the radius attempting to attain the alter, the defender will get "x" amount of favour. For each ally defending the alter (also within the radius), the favour gained is reduced.
1 ALLY is defending an alter. 1 ENEMY is attacking the player within the radius of the alter. The ALLY gets 12 favour every 15 seconds the ENEMY player is within the radius also. If 2 ENEMY players are attacking whilst the ALLY is defending, this favour doubles. 3 ENEMIES, the favour triples, etc.
If 2 ALLIES are defending an alter and 1 ENEMY is attacking, both ALLIES recieve 6 favour every 15 seconds. 3 ALLIES and 1 ENEMY, the ALLIES receive 4 favour every 15 seconds.
And so on and so forth.
The numbers are just general examples to show how the mechanic could work and would be balanced to some extent. I was also thinking that alternatively to encourage team offensives, the DEFENDER favour could ONLY be gained if the number of ENEMIES attacking is greater than the amount of ALLIES defending. So if it's a fair fight at an alter (1v1, 2v2 etc.), the DEFENDER favour would be negated until 1 ALLY is killed or leaves the alter radius.
With this mechanic introduced to the game, players like myself who excel at defending a position and keeping it out of the oppositions grasp, while still surviving a heated battle would be rewarded for their efforts, and it would show the significance they had on the battle.
This mechanic could be included to work for not only 4v4 TFotG but CTF as well, gaining DEFENDER favour for protecting the flag.
So what do you think about this concept? Would you like to see something like this included? Or do you think it would have a negative effect on the game?
Feel free to discuss alternatives or changes you think could be made to this mechanic to make it more balanced while encouraging players to search for battle, the last thing I want to happen from this is to have lobbies where all players sit and defend, but that's where favour being gained when fighting overwhelming odds comes in.
Also keep in mind that numbers related to favour gained and the time period for it is irrelevent, it's the concept that I want you to focus on.
Re: DEFENDER - favour gain from defending objectives against enemies
Nice, in honor of P4E, I'm going to go full healer on my Poseidon today and see how I do
I love Leia, especially the way she extends my staff
Re: DEFENDER - favour gain from defending objectives against enemies
Great idea! Although they would have to do it right. Or it could turn into a mad amount of favor. Games honestly dont last too long as it is, they would be much shorter depending on the amount givin for defending and what not. Perhaps they uped the limit to 10k to get the full effect of this mechanic? Kudos for the effort on this post.
Re: DEFENDER - favour gain from defending objectives against enemies
Is hard to reward a good defender, as it is in games like WoW (Arathi basin for exapmle)
What they do in WoW is to reward players defending the captured "post" with an increase in honor (favor in GOWA) when you kill someone inside the radius of the said buff. thats encourages players to stay within range of the extra honor buff.
The thing is i dont thing this can happen in this game, as you can be pwned 90% of the time when more than 2 players engages you in combat because you are alone defending.
A system rewarding defensive players is hard to implement, but this post is the begining
Re: DEFENDER - favour gain from defending objectives against enemies[ Edited ]
We've been asking for Defender points since beta. There should be both attacking and defending points IMO anyways, just like assist points.
Like someone said there are greater rewards for simply opening chests, overall I think the chests hurt the game way too much, they detract from what should be the focal point of the game and that is combat... Especially when the game only features 4 team mates and 3 cap points Chests make even less sense...
Re: DEFENDER - favour gain from defending objectives against enemies
when i play with my Ares (40) i dont see the point to go for chests, and as i dont like to go chest hunt i only go for combat and cos thats what i like the most.
Objectives are good for the game diversity, but they are just too rewarding right now.
How many times you needed help and your mate abandon you just to obtain that red chest or white chest, oh man, i HATE that


text: Usually, my wife takes care of our cappings, washing, melting, and forming. I did not think anything of her health not being the greatest after we extracted in July. Now in our decapping tank, we have crystalized honey with bits and pieces of wax in it. What is the best way to decrystalize the honey and get the wax out? We were thinking to stick it in a pot that is in a pot of water, decrystalize, strain, and see if the wax seperates after it cools. Just wanted to get others opinions and see if we are on the right track. Thanks!

Alarms, bells, strobes, and other equipment will be activated in the Administration Building, the B Building and Building C, also known as the Industrial Technology Building, in that order. Any necessary repairs will be made during the course of the tests. This may lengthen the duration of the tests.
PTC Public Safety officers will be on hand if questions should arise regarding the validity of the alarms. If you have any questions or concerns, please consult the officer on duty at 501-580-1831.
The college regrets any disruption this may cause, but testing is necessary to ensure public safety. Patience and cooperation is requested.
Systems in all buildings at all locations will undergo testing in the coming weeks. Further testing is scheduled for Sept. 7, 14 and 21.

Turns out...it was a lot more expensive to privatize Flight Service then it was to keep it within the FAA.
From everything I've heard, the non DoD departments are total and utter shite shows
immediately screams EEO and because this is the government and we are required to actually follow procedures on this, it gets bogged down and 50/50 the discipline holds.
just google it. goverment meduan compensation is higher tgan tge private sector
He worked for an airline, a private sector job, before getting involved with the FAA. He started out making around $15,000-$17,000 a year in 1984 and now makes well over $100,000. But because he did that in the public sector he's a drain on society.
Civilservicewasnot supposed to behigh paying jobs, thatiswhy the pensions and benefits are so great. That was supposed to supliment thelower salary. Currently a civil service employee makes on average more than the private sector employee with 100 x better benefits. Thisis what most of the like minded people have a problem with.
My father is a Federal employee. He started with next to nothing in terms of salary almost 30 years ago. For nearly 30 years he worked his arse off and rose through the ranks. He wasn't an arse kisser, he didn't talk his way into promotions, he worked his way into them. Now he brings home six figures. Yeah...he didn't do it in the private sector, but how is what he did and what he went through any different from what an ordinary Joe does out there in a non-government job?
My bro in law is a government worker and this is going to effect him, probably significantly. But after years of watching the way these government departments have been run, I'm torn on how I feel about it. If that place was a private company they would have gone under in the first year. n
Currently a civil service employee makes on average more than the private sector employee with 100 x better benefits.
This is what most of the like minded people have a problem with.
. It common knowledge that it virtually impossible to lose a fed job
His dad would have most probably been "fired" along time ago in the real world.
Again...a fed employee's definition of hard times is not working once day a pay period.

quote=Cindy Lou Who]Glenn,
What would you use to clean what looks to be a faux leather-like rectangle on the sideboard of the cabinet? .......Thanks,
Cindy Lou Who[/quote]
If it is not leather, try a foam cleaner(fabric spot cleaner) or you can take dish soap and a little water and sponge. Dip the sponge in the soap mixture and massage several times until the sponge is very foaming but not dripping wet and rub lightly. The only problem with the old faux leather is they are sometimes not color fast so if you see a lot of color on the sponge stop. So test a small spot first. If it bleeds on the sponge, take corn starch and sprinkle thickly covering the whole thing and let set for several days then vacuum off. I really could use a good picture. If it turns out to be real leather I have a potion for that two. Glenn[/quote]
Pictures on my agenda for this weekend - it definitely isn't just old crazed or built up finish - actually set into the wood.
I'll see if I have any foam fabric cleaner stashed, too.
Thanks for your help again Glenn!

- About Plattsburgh
Some SUNY Plattsburgh librarians are emerging from the Feinberg stacks and entering the classroom.
They're joining forces with college faculty who are eager to have library research connect more closely to their work with students. The result is an experimental "embedded" librarianship program.
Feinberg librarians Gordon Muir and Holly Heller-Ross tackled the topic in a recent edition of Public Services Quarterly. Their article examined the effectiveness of an embedded librarianship program.
They evaluated both completed and ongoing pilot projects at SUNY Plattsburgh. These projects embedded librarians within both an on-campus biology learning community and an online nursing course.
The librarians provided customized information services where faculty and students are: that is, at their points of research, classroom teaching and clinical/lab instruction. The close relationship made for better integration into faculty workflows. The librarians also found they were well-positioned to be on-the-scene information experts for research teams.
"It's a very exciting opportunity for students to get direct librarian expertise at the moments when they are ready to conduct research or use information technologies," said Heller-Ross. "We work with them inside their courses, where it is most helpful."
Both librarians see the concept as a way to better serve students and faculty.
"I'm there to help students solve their information needs at the time they have them," Muir said.

Ode to the Toad!
12/03/2013 , 11:40 AM by Jonathan Morrell
If you're up and about early enough, you'll hear Corin who brings us a poem every Tuesday morning at about 4.30am. Sometimes he writes about horses (a big passion of his) or perhaps a memory of his time working in the north of the state. This week though he's talking about a pest which has spread from Queensland through the Northern Territory and into the north of WA - we are talking about cane toads. I was surprised to read that the pests have even been turned into a purse! Have a listen to Corin's thoughts about the creature in this poem.

text: I recently started skating again after a bit of a hiatus. The first day I was back my ankles hurt around my tendons and not long after I took my skates off I had bruises on both at the front where the tongue of my skates goes by the tendon there. Someone suggested I had tied my skates too tight - so the next couple times I loosened them. My left tendon recovered and is fine - but the right one continues to hurt and there is a bump there that gets worse after skating. When I was younger I had similar bumps on my achilles that got to be about the size of half golf balls. But this time it is in the front. I have been using a make up sponge with the middle cut out and that seemes to relieve the pressure. But I thought I would check here to see if anyone has had anything similar?

Thank you for this response - you were right, I was trying to work with variable names/column headings that began with numbers. Problem solved - my apologies for overlooking the user-written programs in my code that you point out here, and thanks too for the code suggestion. I appreciate it!

The following user-written programs are invoked here:
fs (SSC)
renvars (SJ)
dropmiss (SJ)
Please remember to explain where user-written programs you use come from.
However, that is not central to Michael's problem.
What seems to fail is
svmat XX, names(col)
and so I suggest asthe next step looking at the column names of your
matrix -XX-, as
"names(col) uses the column names of the matrix to name the variables"
(-svmat- help)
and my guess is simply that the column names are not suitable.
(Perhaps they are just numbers.)
rename renid idd
rename rengroup grr
tostring idd, replace force
tostring grr, replace force
gen id = idd + grr
destring id, replace
drop idd grr
could be I think condensed to
gen long id = real(string(renid) + string(rengroup))
drop renid rengroup
although I worry about your use of -force-.

BroadRamp $150K grant funds UTSA, SISD project
(Dec. 10, 2007)--The UTSA Center for Distance Learning and Academic Technology received a $150,000 grant from the San Antonio Southside Independent School District (SISD) to develop a Web portal to offer online course content to SISD students.
UTSA and San Antonio-based BroadRamp Inc., a privately held venture capital-funded company, will partner on the grant project, which will include the development of SAT and ACT test-preparation courses, a high school algebra course and College 101, an introduction to college course designed to close the gaps in minority participation in higher education.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Because of the efforts of the three San Antonio entities, SISD students soon will benefit from access to the ground-breaking distance learning system enabled by BroadRamp, inventors of the only seamless, universal multimedia content and application delivery platform.
UTSA Assistant Vice Provost Bill Angrove said, "This initiative will include the development of a learning management system unlike any other. The requirements include the delivery of an interactive learning experience, the quick launch of high-definition video over the Internet, the seamless migration of content and, of course, it must be cost effective at every turn. BroadRamp presented the total solution to meeting all of our requirements."
"Our goals for this program are driven by the pursuit of excellence in education and widespread opportunity, without the traditional roadblocks of accessibility, high costs and rigid non-flexible infrastructure," said Juan Jasso, SISD superintendent. "Flexibility is essential to allowing the largest number of students to gain from this initiative," he added.
BroadRamp will utilize its industry leading expertise to deploy a customized program based on their Content Delivery System (CDS) application and its recently announced Managed Content Delivery Services (MCDS), the first end-to-end content delivery solution to integrate encoding and content conversion, media hosting, streaming media services, and multi-source distribution.
To help ensure the success of the program BroadRamp will contribute through reduced pricing and contribution of selected services. Founder and chief science officer Sean Darwish said, "I have long been a supporter of education in San Antonio and want to give back to the community that is home to BroadRamp. It is my personal mission to deliver products that enhance the educational experience for all students." Darwish added that many of BroadRamp's staff attended San Antonio public schools and a large number of the BroadRamp team graduated from UTSA.
A key component of the MCDS platform is BroadRamp's CDS. MCDS quickly converts virtually any type of offline content into an online rich multimedia format usable by all Web-enabled devices. The unique compression approach and embedded player architecture of CDS enables quick-launch, full-screen, high definition quality video (WebHD) with Dolby 6.1 Surround Sound. The CDS compression reduces media file sizes 50-90 percent while maintaining quality levels and delivering an outstanding user experience.
"Engaging the student is just part of the equation," said Darwish. "We believe that quality expectations should be exceeded at all points to hold the student's interest. Poor quality is an unacceptable distraction that hinders learning at the highest levels. The real winners are the students. More students than ever will be able to participate in a program designed from the ground up to help ensure a successful learning experience."
According to Darwish, access to content such as SAT/ACT preparation and advanced math courses from the school or home, will produce a virtual campus experience. With the focus on reduced costs of delivering rich media content and eliminating the need to transport students, more can participate. Tools are in place or are being designed to track progress, improve individual success rates and to deliver the most engaging courseware possible.For more information, contact Martha Trevino at (210) 828-4451.

Match Teacher Resident
Company Name:Match Education
1001 Commonwealth Avenue
Contact Person:Lynn Ahumada
Contact Phone Number:(617) 2320300
Description/Responsibilities:Do you want to be an unusually effective first year teacher in a high-poverty charter school? If so, you should consider Match Teacher Residency, a highly innovative, one-year teacher training program. Basically, we give college graduates one year of incredibly intense training designed to make them unusually effective rookie teachers. We then help them find teaching positions in high-need schools, and continue to support them as they begin their careers in the classroom. What sets MTR apart from other teacher prep programs? 1) We are prescriptive, like a sports coach or piano teacher. Members of MTR learn and practice very specific "Teacher Moves." 2) Trainees are specifically being prepared to teach in charter schools that have a track record of "turning around" low-performing kids. 3) We have a very particular approach, which involves building relationships one-on-one with kids and parents, then leveraging those relationships to run a tight ship in class, enforce rules consistently, and maintain high expectations of students. MTR is no different from Match Corps: Boston, our full-time tutoring fellowship, from Monday-Thursday. However, unlike regular Corps members, MTRs want to go on to become full-time teachers in high-need, "No Excuses" charter schools. On Fridays and Saturdays, MTRs learn about the nuts and bolts of teaching, experience hours of hands-on practice, and receive in-depth coaching. Student teaching takes place on Fridays and Saturdays, as well; the whole program is designed so that it doesn't interfere with the primary responsibility of tutoring your students. MTRs also pursue a Masters of Effective Teaching Degree from our sister institution, the Charles Sposato Graduate School of Education. For more information on the new Masters degree component of MTR, have a look at our website: http://www.matcheducation.org/match-teacher-residency/sposato-graduate-school-education. As mentioned above, Match Teacher Residents also serve in Match Corps: Boston, our one-of-a-kind yearlong tutoring fellowship. The Match Corps program began in 2004 and is the first of its kind in the nation. The Corps is a group of top recent college graduates who work one-on-one with 6-8 Match High School, Middle School or Match Community Day Elementary School students each day for an entire academic year. All three schools are open-admission charter public schools in Boston, MA. This full-time service year program is designed to fully close the academic achievement gap between minority students and their non-minority peers, one student at a time. For more information about Match Teacher Residency, check out these resources: A video introduction to Match Teacher Residency: http://youtu.be/kkLcMLCey5A Our website: http://matcheducation.org/join-us/match-teacher-residency-boston Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

(still on myspace, but haven't used it for ages either... I guess you already clicked on the link in my signature.) Very true! Same goes for the rules. I think we have it perfect ballanced here on RRB. Just a few restrictive rules to level out the builds that generate more creativity and make people do things a little bit different than usual.

Was wondering what large scale beekeepers do when the pull supers and they find uncapped frames. What do they do with those? Put them back on hives or just spin and move on?
read my post in thread (thin honey")
They get harvested...but then, we are in a very dry climate and don't have the problems with humidity like many areas.
Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid. John Wayne
Like alpha said, run'em through....
Gregg Stewart
It depends on the proportion of capped and uncapped. I assume your area can be high humidity such as we see here in Wisconsin normally (not this year!). We pull many boxes and run them at one time so even a few boxes of totally uncapped honey would not make much difference; if we have any question as to the moisture we check with the refractometer. If doing small batches at a time it could make a difference in the moisture count if they are mostly uncapped. Be careful. All your hard work will be for naught if that honey ferments.
Keeping them in the hot room for a few days at very low humidity and lots of air movement will help lower the moisture level in the honey. Some operation have honey driers that will drop the moisture level of the honey very quickly.
It's a judgment call with me. If one side is fully capped and the other has open cells no bigger than my outstretched hand, then I extract them.
If both sides have open cells larger than my open hand, they go back into another super that will be placed on a hive just outside the honey house.
I also tend to harvest smaller lots and return supers to a bee yard to be cleaned up and refilled if more of the season is still a possibility.

If Apple had a motto for its product strategy, it would be, "Don't take anything for granted." The new iPhone and iPods are re-formed from the guts to the skin: Faster processors, faster connection speeds, better cameras, more microphones, new connectors, taller displays, and they're thinner and lighter to boot. iTunes and the App Store are redesigned to feel more modern and help with content discovery. These product improvements are aimed at convincing consumers that there's enough value to upgrade from their current Apple products, as well as growing market share by convincing non-iPhone users that it's finally time to trade in their BlackBerrys, Droids, and flip phones and join the iOS fold. Apple will be successful on both fronts -- not just because its products are well designed, but also because Apple's product marketing is on point. It will be the fastest iPhone rollout ever, available in 100 countries on 240 carriers by the end of the year. Older models of the iPhone will be cheap (4S for $99 with contract) or free (4 with contract)--including on Verizon and Sprint in the US, not just AT&T, which will positively impact market share.
But I think there's a more interesting story to be told than just market share. These products tell us a lot about Apple's vision for the post-PC future. Apple has sold more than 400 million iOS devices through June 2012, and it has more than 435 million iTunes accounts with one-click purchasing, so it will certainly have great influence over the post-PC experience of many millions of consumers. And here's what that experience is likely to be:
