I was reading at Multiverse blog, that inform the Transcendence will have MMORPG version. But it was still a plan, that perhaps will take a very long time to make it come through. Well, MMORPG was interesting though. But I have an another idea to make something like that. It was another mod that I want to build, but it's complicated and I have very limited time and knowledge to finish it.
I called it SPACE ARENA. The mods that let player choosing various starship that will be deployed at randomly generated starsystem. The goal of the game is simple, survive. The enemies (or allies) will controled by NPC, with attack nearest enemy codes. The mods have two modes, DeathMatch and TeamWork. DeathMatch, just kill anyone near player, and reach higher score to win. And TeamWork, or you can call it Team DeathMatch, build up the team and destroy other team to win. The weapons, shields, devices, and armors can be upgraded manually by finding a supply box that randomly spawn in game. However, it was canceled due I'm very busy for my mods.
But then I'm thinking of something, what if this mod become an individual MMO game? Or at least another modes of Transcendence? The NPC replaced by a real player up to 32 or 16 player, connected around world, and using Rooms mechanic (if you know CS:GO, you should know it). The small version of Transcendence MMORPG.
Transcendence MMO

Anxious MPs believe the Prime Minister has less than three weeks either to "sort out" the political mess that has soured his premiership, or face an open party revolt.
The Mail has learned that a coalition of heavyweight backbenchers is ready to speak out publicly if - as many MPs now fear - Labour loses the London mayoral election to the Conservatives.
The prospect of a direct challenge to his authority will dismay Downing Street, where aides are battling to get Mr Brown back on the front foot.
In recent weeks - and less then a year after Tony Blair's departure - Labour has been battered by difficult headlines amid uncertainty in Number 10 and Cabinet punch-ups.
Some ministers have speculated privately that Mr Brown might be persuaded to step aside in the interests of the party than risk a General Election defeat.
Although polling day is up to two years away, recent surveys suggest Labour is on course to lose power and more than 100 MPs.
Many fear that Mr Brown is fast approaching a political "point of no return" to match the disastrous final years of John Major's premiership.
One senior former minister said: "The current situation cannot go on for another two years.
"Either he has to sort it out, or there has to be a change. It's up to Gordon Brown to sort it out.
"Labour has a tradition of being a sentimental party that does not like to do in struggling leaders.
"But we've been in power for a decade and we are beginning to take on the characteristics of ruthlessness that the Tories showed when they ditched Margaret Thatcher.
"If we are a serious party of power, we need to act. He is well on track to going down as the worst Labour prime minister ever."
Doubts about Mr Brown's strategy are also beginning to be voiced openly for the first time.
Last week, Tony Lloyd, the chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party, warned that the Prime Minister "has got to reflect on the fact that this Government has not got across to the public what this Labour Government is about and for in its entirety."
MPs deciding Mr Brown's future are likely to wait and see if Labour's share of the vote in the local elections drops below the 26 per cent it recorded last year.
However, the decisive factor will be whether Ken Livingstone is ejected from City Hall in London by Boris Johnson, in what is an increasingly tight mayoral race.
A Tory win would provide a massive boost to David Cameron, who has established a strong lead in the polls.
However, Mr Brown's supporters angrily dismissed talk of a leadership challenge last night, saying there is no convincing candidate to take his place.
Talk by some ministers of a "caretaker premiership" under Jack Straw or Alan Johnson was rejected as "fanciful".
Whitehall sources say they are predicting a blitz of Government announcements in May to win back the agenda, including Lords reform, a statement on British values, a draft bill of rights and responsibilities and an overhaul of party funding.
One senior figure said: "It's absolutely disastrous. Nobody can believe the rate at which problems are coming in and Gordon's inability to deal with them.
"There is no conspiracy at the moment, but anything could happen if we do badly in May. It's happening much faster than you might think."

Rarely does one read such a critical article of Israel in the United States. Roger Cohen should be complimented for undertaking this bold move. A non-Jew, who wrote an article such as this, probably could not have gotten it published. Certainly a Palestinian would have been denied such valuable journalistic real estate. In any event, the taboos of silence in condemning Israel's destruction of the Palestinians has been broken for at least one day in the New York Times op-ed pages. Mr Cohen mentions prowar, militant Secretary of State-Designate Hillary Rodham Clinton's threat to "obliterate" Iran. I wish he had mentioned that Israel has nuclear weapons, another taboo in this country, which is a source of "inspiration" for Iran to engage in nuclear proliferation. Yet the column is significant and internationalist in perspective.
While there is no difference between war and murder, the poster is provocative and meaningful in its moral intensity.
Try Tough Love, Hillary
By ROGER COHEN
Imagine Ehud Olmert, the outgoing Israeli prime minister, saying this to Barack Obama:
"The United States has been wrong to write Israel a blank check every year; wrong to turn a blind eye to the settlements in the West Bank; wrong not to be more explicit about the need to divide Jerusalem; wrong to equip us with weaponry so sophisticated we now believe military might is the answer to all our problems; and wrong in not helping us reach out to Syria. Your chosen secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, said during the campaign that 'the United States stands with Israel, now and forever.' Well, that's not good enough. You need to stand against us sometimes so we can avoid the curse of eternal militarism."
Perhaps that seems unimaginable. But Olmert has already said something close to this. In a frank September interview with the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, reprinted this month by The New York Review of Books, the Israeli leader chose to exit with a mea culpa for his country's policies.
Those policies have been encouraged by the Bush administration, whose war on terror was embraced by the Israeli government as a means to frame Israel's confrontation with the Palestinians as part of the same struggle. No matter that Al Qaeda and the Palestinian national movement are distinct. The facile conflation got Bush in lock step with whatever Israel did.
So, by saying Israel has been wrong, Olmert was also saying the United States has been wrong, even if he never mentioned America.
What Olmert, who appears on the verge of indictment for fraud, did say in his "soul searching on behalf of the nation of Israel" was that he had made "mistakes" as a former right-wing hard-liner and that military power will not deliver his 60-year-old country from existential anguish.
"We could contend with any of our enemies or against all our enemies combined and win," Olmert said. "The question that I ask myself is, what happens when we win? First of all, we'd have to pay a painful price. And after we paid the price, what would we say to them? 'Let's talk.' "
Olmert is now convinced of the need to settle with the Palestinians and Syria through giving up parts of Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. The fact such views come from a former Likudnik is a measure of how the political ground has shifted in Israel ahead of elections early next year.
I think Olmert's words should be emblazoned on the wall of Hillary Clinton's eighth-floor State Department office: "We must reach an agreement with the Palestinians, meaning a withdrawal from nearly all, if not all, of the territories. Some percentage of these territories would remain in our hands, but we must give the Palestinians the same percentage elsewhere — without this, there will be no peace."
Asked if this included a compromise on Jerusalem, Olmert said, "Including Jerusalem."
He also declared, "I'd like to know if there's a serious person in the state of Israel who believe that we can make peace with the Syrians without, in the end, giving up the Golan Heights." Those words should go up on Clinton's wall, too.
For Olmert, "holding this or that hill" is "worthless" and Israeli generals are deluded in clinging to them.
These ideas will sit uneasily with the pro-Israel constituency that Clinton has dealt with as a Democratic senator for the state of New York. Nobody's been more solidly pro-Israel than she. But to be effective, she must become a tough taskmaster in the name of Olmert's compromises. That is in the best long-term interest of Israel.
Clinton noted during the campaign that the United States could "obliterate" Iran if it launched a nuclear attack on Israel. Olmert chose different language. He noted "a megalomania and a loss of proportion in the things said here about Iran." Once again, his words are instructive.
I am fiercely attached to Israel's security. Everything depends, however, on how that security is viewed. Israel can continue humiliating the Palestinians, flaunting its power with a bully's braggadocio. It will survive that way — and be desperately corroded from within. Neither domination nor demography favors Israel over time.
Its moral authority is already compromised by a 40-year occupation. The Diaspora Jew did not go to Zion to build the Jew among nations.
This is the reality behind Olmert's warning that "we have a window of opportunity — a short amount of time." This is the reality behind his appeal to "designate a final and exact borderline between us and the Palestinians."
For that, Palestinians must also compromise, especially on the right of return, and they must renounce terrorism. Return must essentially mean return to a new and viable Palestinian state.
Getting to such a two-state deal at, or close to, the 1967 borders will require concerted U.S. involvement from day one of the Obama administration. Its tone should be one of tough love, with the emphasis on tough.

Adamek might be the only guy who can bring that to the table in addition to being an easy win for Wlad.
Sure Adamek could fill a stadium in Poland but Golota must likely could also fill one. So should Wlad fight Golota as well since Tomasz is, in my opinion, just a few notches away from being as washed up as Andrew happens to be? I also have little interest in watching Wlad beat the snot out of Adamek. And if Adamek is pulling out of fights with the likes of Pulev he really should think about retirement, and that is coming from a fan of his.

The FCC recently launched a new Twitter account – @FCCDotGov. For those who may be unfamiliar with Twitter (despite Conan O'Brien's routine ridicule of the service), the micro-blogging platform allows users to send out short updates on just about any topic. Many people envision this as an endless stream of "I had a sandwich for breakfast" notes. However many users share valuable news and information via the service. Companies are also getting into the swing of things and using the service for everything from customer service to sales promotions.
We at NCTA have been using Twitter for about a year and a half to provide updates on our blog content, to promote the Cable Show, and for conversation with and commentary by our CEO Kyle McSlarrow. We're pleased to see the FCC adopting Twitter and welcome them to this vibrant online discussion.
The FCC account already has over 1,000 followers, and we're a few of them. The Internet provides a healthy forum for telecom policy discussion and debate. The number of followers they've already amassed indicates the interest level for that dialog. To welcome them to Twitter, and to share some of our favorites with you, we thought we'd put together a list of our favorite follows. These are in no particular order, they're just good content from some very engaging viewpoints.
- @Normative – Julian Sanchez is the Washington Editor for Ars Technica. He covers politics, technology, and even comic books.
- @RobPegoraro – Rob has been critical of cable in the past, but he always brings a fresh perspective to technology. While he styles himself as a local reporter covering the DC area, he has attracted an audience much larger in scope.
- @BlankBaby – Scott McNulty recently took the helm of Comcast Voices – the company's corporate blog. The blog provides the perspective of the nation's largest cable provider. Prior to joining Comcast, McNulty was a prolific contributor to The Unofficial Apple Weblog
- @KyleMcSlarrow – Even if he wasn't our boss, we'd have to recommend Kyle. He does, after all, represent the industry that brings voice, video and broadband to more than 63 million American homes.
- @CZ – While Verizon is a competitor, John Czwartacki does a great job handling their social media outreach.
- @msilbey – Mari Silbey writes for ZatzNotFunny and also handles corporate blogging for Motorola at Media Experiences 2 Go.
- @DaveZatz – Dave is the editor and creator of ZatzNotFunny. He also writes for Engadget and PC Magazine.
- @Om – To many readers of tech publications, Om Malik needs no introduction. His blog GigaOm is a must read for the tech and gadget fan.
- @mmasnick – Mike Masnick is the author of TechDirt, a group blog that covers policy and technology as they shape business innovation.
- @SchatzWSJ – Amy Schatz covers telecom policy for the Wall Street Journal. She covers the FCC and Tech policy, so she's a definite must.
- @ReginaHopper – Regina is the face of NextGenWeb and a prolific Tweeter. Much of her stream is news and information about broadband – a good source for stories you might have missed.
- @SaulHansell – Saul is the editor of the NY Times Bits Blog and covers everything from advertising to pricing and policy.
- @AdamThierer – Adam is the Progress and Freedom Foundation's technology policy guru.
- @FreePress – We often disagree on the issues, but we always respect their position. That's why we follow them.
- @CJSettles – Craig Settles is a telecom industry analyst.
- @mcuban – You may know him as the Dallas Mavericks Owner or former Dancing With the Stars Contestant, but before that, he made his fortune on Internet content and has a lot to say about telecommunications.
- @linkhoe – Assistant Vice President for Internet and Technology at Verizon. An important player in telecom and frequent contributor to Verizon's policy blog.
- @joseiswriting – Jose Antonio Vargas formerly covered technology and politics for the Washington Post and is now Technology Editor for the Huffington Post.
- @waltmossberg – Walt is the author and creator of the Personal Technology column in the Wall Street Journal and a Contributor to AllThingsD
- @artbrodsky – Art's another person with whom we often disagree, but he always brings an interesting perspective as an advocate and blogger for Public Knowledge.
These are some of the really interesting voices in telecommunications on Twitter. Our friends at the FCC will learn a lot from them, and we hope you will, too.
Update: We probably should have added this at the start, but if you think we've missed someone, please drop a comment and let us know. We're always looking for more people to follow.

At Wellesley I teach "Courts, Law, and Politics," an introduction to the American legal system from a law and society perspective; "Introduction to American Politics," in which I emphasize a comparative and historical focus; "Public Policymaking in American Politics," which brings together all the institutions and processes that shape public policy in the U.S.; "Health Politics and Policy," a course that probes the causes and consequences of the distinctive path of the United States in health policy; and "Democracy in America," a first year seminar that uses Alexis de Tocqueville's masterpiece of the same name to examine some fundamental questions about politics. Alongside my colleague Nancy Scherer, I help advise the roughly 8-10% of Wellesley students who (at least historically) attend law school.
I try to be on a bicycle as much as possible, both on and off-road, and even on ice and snow during miserable New England winters. I love good wine, with a particular interest in German Riesling and California Zinfandel, though I'll drink pretty much anything good if you offer it to me.

Post AOO 3.4 release it is very reasonable to expect a lively discussion about the AOO Roadmap. It is hoped that will reach a consensus. I believe there will be good reasons to balance a cleanup AOO 3.4.1/3.5 release with starting immediately on AOO 4.0 via integration of Symphony features. By cleanup I mean a combination of more languages, critical bug fixes, read me / installation improvements, and NOTICE, LICENSE, and DISCLAIMER organization.

Jessica Alba on The Honest Company dealing with lawsuits: Be as transparent with customers as possible.
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Trust
Stashed in: Founders, Truth, Lawyers!, @jessicaalba, WEAR SUNSCREEN!, Retail, Food Industry
Jessica Alba and CMO Chris Thorne then moved onto talking about the current state of the company, which is a thriving e-commerce store and a distribution network of more than 6,000 third-party stores like Target and Whole Foods.
When asked about the lawsuits facing the company, Thorne noted that the company is striving to be as transparent as possible with its customers.
In regards to the accusation that Honest's organic baby formula contains unnatural ingredients, Thorne noted that the issue is about how the FDA has multiple methods to classify organic products, and thinks that consumer advocacy groups are using the company as a target for issues that should actually be taken up with the FDA.
Another product under fire was their mineral-based sunblock, which some said didn't actually prevent sunburn. While not directly explaining the cause of the issue, Thorne said that the company's response was starting an educational campaign around how to best use the product, as well as a slight reformulation to increase the SPF from 30 to 50.
The talk then shifted to the company's new cosmetic line, Honest Beauty. The startup recently opened their first retail store in Los Angeles, and when asked why, Alba described how Honest wanted to take control of a customer's shopping experience themselves, instead of leaving it to a third-party department store. Alba also said they are hoping to soon expand to another location in Los Angeles, followed by stores in New York, since these are their two biggest

Chilled: How Refrigeration Changed the World and
Might Do So Again
My latest book is out now.
Here's a review.
Buoyant, idiosyncratic and very funny ... this history of what is, ultimately, a rather mundane piece of kitchenware is consistently fascinating. Cool story.
(Financial Times)
An entertaining romp through the history of refrigeration. (Wall Street Journal)
Fun and eye-opening ... this is an inspiring, compelling and utterly convincing book.
(The Sunday Times)
...a chill-cabinet of curiosities: hot stuff, and deeply cool.
(The Spectactor)
I can't think of a better light non-fiction summer read than this. (Independent)
...this book feels like you're on a voyage: being entertained by a knowledgeable host, and gathering information from all ports. (BBC Focus)
...a nutritious little book. (Roger Lewis The Daily Mail)
Without refrigeration, this delightfully illuminating book reminds us, not only would there be no ice cream or cold lager, there would be no MRI scanners in hospitals, no super-computers, no weekly food shop. (The Mail on Sunday)
One of the most entertaining sections of the book concerns the ice wars of 19th-century America where rivals competed to secure supplies...plenty of fascinating stuff. (The Times)
About me:
I'm a non-fiction author and project editor (plus I do a bit of journalism). I'm available for project development, writing, project management and I also work as a packager. Click on the links above to see examples of my work.
But first some background: Over the last 20 years, I've written books, magazine and newspaper articles, for online and for television. I get to write about a wide range of subjects, everything from axolotls to zoroastrianism. However, my specialties are natural history, technology and all things scientific. I've worked on projects with Brian May, Patrick Moore, Marcus de Sautoy and Carol Vorderman and for major international publishers, such as Dorling Kindersley, National Geographic, Scholastic, Hachette, Facts on File and BBC Magazines.
I spend my days finding fun ways of communicating all kinds of facts, new and old, to every age group and reading ability. I live in Bristol, England, with my wife and three children. I studied zoology at Bristol University and have had spells working at the zoos in Jersey and Surrey. I used to be something of a conservationist, which included planting trees in Somerset, surveying Vietnamese jungle and rescuing buffaloes from drought-ridden Zimbabwe. Writing jobs have also taken me to the Galápagos Islands, the Amazon rainforest, the coral reefs of Indonesia and the Sahara Desert. Nowadays, I can be found mainly in the attic.

Summa izbu
Šumma izbu, "If a reject (= anomalous birth)" is an ancient Mesopotamian compendium of around 2,000 teratological omens, on 24 tablets probably formed from three separate earlier series on odd human births, šumma sinništu arâtma, "if a woman is pregnant" (tablets 1–4), the šumma izbu proper, on physically malformed births (tablets 6–17), and anomalous animal births: goats (tablet 18), cattle and donkeys (tablet 19), horses (tablets 20–21), pigs (tablet 22), dogs (tablet 23), wild animals (tablet 24), lambs (tablet 5, possibly the oldest in the series) and sheep (distributed across tablets 18–24). Exemplars of izbu compendia first appear in the old Babylonian period but it is not until the late second millennium that it is thought to have reached canonical form and exemplars of teratomantic texts from this era have been found in Assur and Babylon as well as further afield in Susa, Emar, Ugarit and Ḫattuša. The most complete form of the text comes from copies in the library of Ashurbanipal.
The text[edit]
It was one of the works cited by the astrologer Marduk-šāpik-zēri as evidence of his learning in his letter to Aššur-bāni-apli in search of employment. Its esoteric nature was emphasized by the royal astrologer Balasi, in his letter to the same king:
Šumma izbu is difficult to interpret. The first time I come before the king, my lord, I shall (personally) show, with this tablet that I am sending to the king, my lord, how the omen in written. Really, [the one] who has [not] had (the meaning) pointed out to him cannot possibly understand it.[1]— Balasi, Letter to Aššur-bāni-apli
In common with other works of omens, each clause is formed from a protasis giving the antecedent and an apodosis giving the consequence. In common with the Sakikkū (SA.GIG), it arranges the malformations ištu muḫḫi adi šēpi, "from head to foot," and in the color sequence: white, black, red, green–yellow, and variegated. Some of the tablets focus on malformations of single body parts, such as horns (tablet 9), eyes (tablet 10) and ears (tablet 11) and others record the behavior of adult animals as well as their offspring, such as tablet 22 which begins treating with the birth of piglets of monstrous shape (kūbu) and then goes on to describe the behavioral anomalies in sows, pigs in general, and wild boars.
The series includes omens of public apodoses (mostly tablets 1–17), "If a woman gives birth, and at birth (the child) is already as white as alabaster—end of the reign; omen of a despotic king,"[2] and private apodoses (mostly tablets 18–24), "If a woman gives birth to an ecstatic [maḫḫu], male or female, she has been impregnated in the street by a sinful man." The sinful man being one who has leprosy (garbānu) or dropsy (male mê).[3] For the most part, private omens concerned the fortunes of the bēl bīti, head of a household, or the owner of a flock or herd and related to life and death, health, general condition, relationship with the gods, social status, family and economic circumstances.[4] "If a woman gives birth to a dog: the owner of the house will die, and his house will be scattered; the land will go mad; pestilence." For public omens, the subject might relate to the king and his immediate family, or more generally the country as a whole, "There will be bad times. The mother will bar her door against her daughter; there will be no [sense of] brotherhood."[5]
The work follows the common left-right polarity, where right is generally auspicious, left not so, where for example a deformity to the right ear is bad, to the left ear is good and two right ears are good whereas two left ears are perceived to be bad. The work shares much in common with some of the izbu omens in the Šumma ālu series, from which it may have borrowed, or alternatively provided a source for these "unprovoked" omens. A late Babylonian commentary relates some of the omens to astrological observations:
If you want to find the izbu: (If) the constellation of the month passed by and you see half of it in the second month, there will be an izbu (such that) the child who will be born will be defective. If at the beginning of Capricorn one of the planets reaches first visibility or reaches a stationary point or is high (and) another (planet) remains visible: women will bear twins. Capricorn (is relevant) for cattle. The izbu which began in Leo inside the constellation Leo in front of the star Erua.[6]

Ginsburg's Legal Philosophy
Special to the New York Times
Published: November 5, 1987
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4— Following are answers by Douglas H. Ginsburg to two of the questions posed by the Senate Judiciary Committee in connection with his nomination last year to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia: Judicial Activism Q. Please discuss your views on the following criticism involving ''judicial activism.'' . . . A. In my view, the only appropriate function of the Federal judiciary is to resolve cases and controversies, as authorized by Article III of the United States Constitution. The Courts have no authority to engage in ''problem-solving'' apart from the resolution of such cases and controversies. While I do not think there is any wholesale tendency by the judiciary in recent years to ignore the ''case or controversy'' requirement, the Courts do seem to have relaxed such jurisdictional and prudential requirements as standing (and perhaps ripeness); narrowed the range of the ''political question'' doctrine, by which the Courts have historically avoided the resolution of controversies properly resolved by the political branches; and used their remedial powers in ways that constrain the legitimate roles of the legislative and executive branches. These tendencies may accot.for some of the recent controversy surrounding the role of the Federal Courts in our system of government. When the standing and ripeness requirements are loosened too much, the Courts are in danger of entertaining mere grievances rather than actual cases or controversies. When the political question doctrine is narrowed too much, or the Courts order legislatures to appropriate and executives to expend monies in particular ways, they are in danger of resolving issues that, in a democratic government, should be resolved through the democratic political process established by the Constitution.
It is precisely the integrity of the political process that is threatened by such unwarranted ''judicial activism.'' The Courts are not democratically elected, and for good reason. Accordingly, they should use their authority to override or constrain the will of the elected political branches of government very sparingly, lest the genius and harmony of our constitutional architecture be lost.
At the same time, however, the Courts must preserve from majoritarian government the individual rights that the Constitution vests in the people. Insofar as the rights of individuals, as clearly established in the Constitution, are threatened by majoritarian government, criticism of judicial activism is misplaced. The Courts should be circumspect, skeptical, and cautious, however, in accepting arguments that the Constitution establishes some newly discovered individual right - a right implicit, rather than explicit, in the Constitution. For once found in the Constitution, that right must be vigorously protected against the encroachments of government.
In this way, as the rights of individuals expand, the rights of the majority contract, but it is not for each new judge, or even each new generation, to strike anew the balance between these conflicting rights. The Framers did that once, and provided a process for future generations to amend the result. But the amendment process they provided is legislative, not judicial, in character. Equal Justice Q. What actions in your professional and personal life evidence your concern for equal justice under the law? Describe what you have done to provide pro bono legal representation to the disadvantaged. A. During my entire career in the law, my principal activities have been in service of the public interest, as opposed to personal advantage. As a judicial law clerk, law professor, and law enforcement official, I have served the ideals of our legal system, which include prominently the dedication to equal justice under law.
I have taught and acted upon my deep conviction that in a democracy such as ours the law should not be used to exclude would-be participants from entering markets, pursuing their trade, and competing to serve consumers and thereby to gain a place of respect in the economy and our society. The effort to eliminate unnecessary economic regulation, to which I have contributed both as an academic and as a government official is, in my view, pre-eminently intended to restore the principle of equal justice under law where it has been driven out by special interests with disproportionate influence over the apparatus of the state.
Preserving and reclaiming the principle of equal justice under law depend vitally on the strength of our First Amendment rights, especially of free speech and a free press. My teaching and writings in the First Amendment area have emphasized the central role of political speech in the ''marketplace of ideas'' and the need to keep it, too, free of government regulation.
I hope that I have been able to contribute more to our legal system by teaching students to recognize and to question legal barriers to equality of treatment, and by making law enforcement decisions on principled and reasoned bases, than by the various other means open to me as a lawyer, such as pro bono legal representation or participation in electoral politics. When I see those same students in positions of public responsibility, as a member of Congress, a Commissioner at an independent agency, or a lawyer in the Department of Justice, I believe that I have at least helped to inspire them to carry on this effort.

A quick click by CU photographer rachyjean allowed her to catch this dragonfly. Even though it's poised on the iron post, it looks as if it could fly off at any moment. It takes great skill and patience to sneak up on a tiny critter like this. She is so close you can even see the glimmer of spider webs in the background.
Thanks for sharing your pictures with us, rachyjean. For more photos from this CU photographer, check out her work in My Gallery. She captures everything from giraffes to snowy mountaintops.
Keep sharing your photos on the CU photo-sharing website. You could be the next photo of the week. While you're there, don't forget to look at other CU photos and rate them. Happy photo taking!

UFC's Jones facing longer doping suspension: report
(Reuters) - The Nevada State Athletic Commission extended a temporary suspension for Jon Jones on Monday and revealed two banned substances the UFC fighter tested positive for, according to ESPN.
Jones, who was pulled from a light heavyweight title fight against Daniel Cormier days before UFC 200 earlier this month, tested positive for clomiphene and traces of letrozole in an out-of-competition sample provided on June 16, the report said.
Clomiphene is listed as an anti-estrogenic substance on the banned list and letrozole is an aromatase inhibitor.
The Nevada district attorney's office informed the NSAC of a potential hearing date around September of October, ESPN said.
An NSAC spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
Jones, 28, is facing a two-year ban under the policies of Ultimate Fighting Championship's drug program and the United States Anti-Doping Agency, which was responsible for the June 16 test, but is also subject to the NSAC's jurisdiction.
Jones (22-1) previously denied taking any banned substances.
"Being labeled as someone who would cheat hurts more than anything else I've ever been through in my career," Jones told a news conference in Las Vegas earlier this month.
Another doping controversy surrounds the bout that replaced the Jones-Cormier clash as main event at UFC 200 following Jones's temporary suspension. Continued...

Winemaker Notes
A rich pomegranate in color, Turlo shows complex, intense ripe fruit aromas. This full-bodied wine is the Umbrian answer to the Super Tuscan.
Pair with hard cheeses, grilled or braised meats, risotto.
Critical Acclaim
A summery red packed with fresh scents of wild herbs, this wine's fruit is equally bright, fragrant with cranberries and blueberries ripening in the sun. The blend is half sangiovese, juiced up with cabernet sauvignon and merlot but not overtaken by them. A mouthwatering red for steak tartare.

A star-studded octet celebration in Troldsalen.Janine Jansen, violin, Jonathan Biss, piano and Alisa Weilerstein, cello are joined by young Norwegian musicians on the cusp of their careers to perform some of the greatest string Octets ever written – a rare occurrence in an intimate concert venue such as Troldsalen!

In 1977, the law was strengthened again — but not until 26 miners and rescuers died in twin blasts at the Scotia mine in Kentucky. The cause? Multiple failures to comply with safety regulations.
On Sunday, as miners were being laid to rest after an explosion last week that killed 12 at West Virginia's Sago Mine, investigators were seeking the cause of yet another tragedy. But one culprit is clear: complacency. As mining fatalities have dropped in the past decade, federal regulators and judges have failed to use the tools they have to rein in those who don't comply with the law and force needed change:
• In the past year, government records show, the Sago Mine was cited repeatedly for failing to enforce basic safety precautions — having an adequate ventilation plan, which is key to preventing explosions, and conducting safety inspections before each eight-hour shift. The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) upped inspections and closed parts of the mine 18 times for serious violations. Despite the chronic failures, it assessed fines — ranging from $60 to $440 — more appropriate for traffic offenses than for life-threatening safety violations.
For most of the period, the mine was owned by Anker Coal. Last November, it was sold to International Coal Group. A fine of $440 represents about one one-thousandth of 1% of ICG's profits for the first three quarters of last year.
• The number of what the MSHA calls "high-dollar fines" ($10,000 or more) has dropped since the Bush administration took office in 2001. The agency issued 12% fewer of these fines from January 2001 through last October than it did during the last five years of the Clinton administration. Even when it did assess heavy fines, violators often got them cut in court. Last year, an administrative law judge slashed the fine against the operator of an Alabama mine, where 13 miners were killed in a 2001 explosion, from $435,000 to $3,000. The message? Even a deadly accident will cost an operator almost nothing.
• Watchdogs muffed other opportunities to ensure safety. In 2003, the Government Accountability Office found that over the past decade, inspectors had often failed to ensure that violations were corrected by deadlines. Meanwhile, the MSHA's dual role as safety inspector and accident investigator is fraught with potential conflicts. The MSHA must, in effect, investigate itself — a process that makes it hard to assess whether inspection practices or lack of enforcement contributed to an accident.
Miners say the history of mining safety is written in blood. Coal mining is a dangerous business. It's also a big business: The fuel creates more than 50% of the nation's electricity. Miners deserve the safety level that only strict regulation and tough enforcement can provide. It shouldn't take another Farmington, Scotia or Sago for Washington to make that happen.

Hasim, Member of Parliament from M.P. Lads funds. The new building was inaugurated by Sri N. Chandrababu Naidu the then, Honorable chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh on 18th Sept.1997.
