Dark Souls II - Editorial @ GameZone
by Couchpotato, 2014-02-18 05:38:56
Game Zone has a new article with a look at the character creation of Dark Souls II.
I've spent many hours of my life trudging through Lordran in my quest to rekindle the flame or become the new dark lord. Through several different characters and different builds, the end goal has always been the same. What's also consistent is how fast I usually blow through the character creation process. Why? Well, it's never been all that innovative, there were never that many options, and let's face it – there's a good chance you'll spend the vast majority of the game hollow or in armor, which means you'll never even see that pretty face you spent a half hour on.

Doctors at the John Radcliffe Hospital claim breast cancer sufferers have a higher number of certain immune cells in their breast tissue.
These cells stop the body's immune system from fighting the disease.
The research says such high-risk patients are unlikely to respond well to current treatments, including hormone therapy such as tamoxifen.
The work, funded by the Breast Cancer Campaign, was conducted by Gaynor Bates and Alison Banham.
It focuses on the immune cells called regulatory T cells, which normally work to stop the immune system attacking the body's own tissue.
But, in breast cancer patients the regulatory T cells are found in higher numbers and prevent the immune system from recognising and attacking cancerous cells.
Dr Bates said: "In the future I hope this research could help clinicians identifying those patients who will not respond well to current treatments and are at risk of later relapse so they can receive more frequent monitoring and appropriate treatments."
Pamela Goldberg, chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign, said the charity was delighted to support such "groundbreaking work".
She added: "It is vitally important that new and accurate ways of identifying those whose breast cancer is likely to return are developed."

Paris (ESA) Jul 01, 2014
ESA's Rosetta spacecraft has found that comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is releasing the equivalent of two small glasses of water into space every second, even at a cold 583 million kilometres from the Sun. The first observations of water vapour streaming from the comet were made by the Microwave Instrument for Rosetta Orbiter, or MIRO, on 6 June, when the spacecraft was about 350 000 kilometres from the comet.
Since the initial detection, water vapour has been found every time MIRO has been pointed towards the comet. "We always knew we would see water vapour outgassing from the comet, but we were surprised at how early we detected it," says Sam Gulkis, the instrument's principal investigator at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, USA.
"At this rate, the comet would fill an Olympic-size swimming pool in about 100 days. But, as it gets closer to the Sun, the gas production rate will increase significantly. With Rosetta, we have an amazing vantage point to observe these changes up close and learn more about exactly why they happen."
Water is a major volatile component of comets, along with carbon monoxide, methanol and ammonia. MIRO is designed to help determine the abundance of each of these ingredients, in order to understand the nature of the comet's nucleus, the process of outgassing and where they originate on the surface.
These gases stream away from the nucleus carrying dust, forming the comet's surrounding 'coma'. As the comet moves closer to the Sun, its coma will expand and, eventually, pressure from the solar wind will cause some of the material to stream out into a long tail.
Rosetta will be there to watch these developments up close. The comet - and Rosetta - will make its nearest approach to the Sun in August 2015, between the orbits of Earth and Mars.
Determining the changes in production rate of water vapour and other gases as the icy object moves around the Sun is important for comet science. But it is also vital for mission planning, because once Rosetta is closer to the comet, the outflow of gases may alter the craft's trajectory.
"Our comet is coming out of its deep-space slumber and beginning to put on a show for Rosetta's science instruments," says Matt Taylor, ESA's Rosetta project scientist.
"Rosetta's engineers will also be using MIRO's observations to help them plan for future mission events when we are operating close to the comet's nucleus."
Today, the spacecraft is within 72 000 km of its destination. Six out of a total of ten rendezvous manoeuvres still need to be carried out to ensure that Rosetta arrives at a distance of just 100 km from the nucleus on 6 August.

Gradually, the mistiness increased; growing, as it were, out of nothing.
Now the garden lay deserted, desolate in the mistiness of the moonlight.
Under his touch it bowed with quick reverence but not before she had seen a mistiness in the kindly eyes.
As it approached, a mistiness that formed became a crucible.
I cannot even shelter myself under the mistiness of the peremptory we.
She clasped her hands, and her eyes were lucent with mistiness.
For a moment a mistiness involved every object, and I was able to distinguish nothing.
He forced back a mistiness that was gathering like a film over his eyes.
The Goodwood Plunger knit his eyebrows and closed the lids once or twice, and forced the mistiness and pain out of his eyes.
They looked into each other's eyes, and were not ashamed of the mistiness which gleamed there.

Q. What is Tribune+?
A. The Tribune+ provides immediate and unlimited access to all content on our newspaper's website (SanLuisObispo.com), our mobile site (m.SanLuisObispo.com), our iPhone and Android smartphone apps, and our electronic replica edition (E-Edition), in addition to your printed newspaper subscription. Tribune+ bundles all the ways you can read The Tribune's content into one price.
Q. How does the digital subscription work?
A. Some portions of SanLuisObispo.com will remain free; your access to other portions of SanLuisObispo.com will be limited without a digital bundle subscription.
Each time your computer or smartphone visits our site, your use of the site's pages are counted. Some portions of our site, like our Homepage (the first page you come to on the site), our Section Fronts (the "front" page of the News, Sports, Opinion, Living, Entertainment, and other sections of the site), Classifieds sections (Apartments, Cars, Homes, Jobs, Obits), Dealsaver and all advertising will remain fully accessible, which means you'll continue to have unlimited access to those pages. But the article pages and the ability to comment will have limited access.
So when, for example, you click on a headline on the homepage and select a story, that page counts towards a limit of 5 pages per 30-day period. Once you reach your 5-page limit, if you don't have a digital subscription, you'll be required to subscribe or wait until the next 30-day period to access them.
With a digital subscription, you will have unlimited access to all of the website and your use will not be limited.
Q. What are my digital subscription options?
A. There are several. Click here to learn more about our subscription offerings.
Q. How do I sign up for a digital subscription?
A. Visit SanLuisObispo.com/plus for the online order form.
Or, when you've viewed your 5 free page views, a pop-up online order form will appear and invite you to subscribe. You'll have the choice of a digital bundle if you want access to the digital package only, or you can sign up for a print and digital bundle, our best deal because it also includes delivery of the daily newspaper.
If you are not a Tribune newspaper subscriber, once you have exceeded your 5 allocated pages in a 30-day period, a pop-up will appear asking you to subscribe.
Q. How do I access my digital subscription?
A. Once you purchase your digital subscription, you will be logged in to your account from the device you used to purchase the subscription. You don't have to do anything else to access the content on the website.
However, if you switch to another device or clear your saved login data, you may see the message asking you to subscribe. If that happens, simply click the "Sign In" button on the top left corner of that screen and enter your e-mail address and the password you selected.
Q. Can I comment or read the comments without paying for a digital subscription?
A. You will need a digital subscription to comment or read comments (once your 5 "free" page views are used each 30-day period).
Q. Will I be able to use my free Tribune iPhone or Android app without paying for a digital subscription?
A. Yes, but you will need a digital subscription to read stories once your allocated pages are used each 30-day period. Without the digital subscription, your smartphone app will be limited to the unlimited access pages (homepage, section fronts, Dealsaver, etc.) and 55 free pages each month. A digital subscription will give you unlimited access to SanLuisObispo.com through your mobile app and to our e-Edition.
Q. Why isn't the website free anymore?
A. Readers will continue to have unlimited access to some portions of our website, including the homepage, section fronts, Dealsaver, FindnSave and advertising. But for article pages and the ability to comment, readers will receive 5 free pages in a 30-day period. After that, access will be limited only to those who have a digital subscription. Casual readers get 5 pages for free every 30 days; more avid online readers are asked to pay a modest fee to continue reading, and print subscribers, who are some of our most loyal customers, are entitled to free access to a digital subscription.
The world of news and information keeps changing, and the newspaper industry continues to be at the forefront of that change. For almost one hundred and fifty years, this newspaper provided our communities with local and world news in printed format that was conveniently delivered to your door once every day. Technological advances of the last decade provide us all with the convenience of mobile phones, tablets and an array of social media channels, and our readers want that same instant access to their newspaper. So we have transformed our business, restructured and retrained our staffs, developed new skill sets to deliver breaking news in a variety of platforms.
The changes also require a change in our business model. We can no longer expect advertising to support all these platforms and options, so our readers will now share the support more equitably. But the Tribune+ option allows readers unlimited access to all our platforms at a minimal cost.
Q. What happens if I've only used a few of my "free" pages when the month runs out?
A. Our system works on a 30-day basis, not on a monthly calendar. So if your first "free" pages were in the middle of the month, your page allotment starts running again the middle of the following month. In other words, without paid digital access, visitors get 5 free pages within any 30-day period. They still have unlimited access to our homepage, section fronts, Classified sections, Dealsaver, FindnSave, advertising and a few other selected pages.
Q. We have one newspaper subscription and I have already activated the digital subscription, but my spouse and my child use your free Tribune mobile apps. Do I need three digital subscriptions?
A. No. Your digital subscription can be shared with up to five mobile app users. You would simply use the same login and password on each of the devices.
Q. Is access to the e-Edition included in my digital subscription?
A. Yes. If you enter the account information for your digital subscription when prompted, you will gain access to our e-Edition.
Q. I have a subscription to The Tribune but not for all 7 days. Do I still receive digital access?
A. Even if your newspaper delivery is only weekdays or weekends or some other combination, your digital access (online, or via mobile or tablet devices) is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All you have to do is activate your digital subscription. To activate your digital subscription, CLICK HERE.

Soldiers dogged their steps, and recorded their messages, their interviews, their doings open and secret, with the exactitude of annalists; while agents were even set at work to advise the pair to take refuge with the armies of Germany, or, at the most crowded hour of the forum, to clasp the effigy of the deified Augustus and call the senate and people to aid.

By Dana Hunsinger, The Indianapolis Star
INDIANAPOLIS With three college degrees including an MBA and a resume boasting volunteer work and a 25-year stint at one company, Linda Keller is devastated by what employers see in her.
"She's lazy. She's not doing anything. Her skills are out of date. She's out of touch with reality," Keller rattles off. "That's what hiring people think."
That's because Keller, 53, has one strike against her that's hard to overcome in today's ultracompetitive job market. She's unemployed — and has been for 19 months.
She's among 4.4 million people nationwide who have been out of work for a year or more. The group makes up more than 40% of the total unemployed, the highest percentage since World War II.
JOBS OUTLOOK: Latest data for all states, 384 metros
RECOVERY WATCH: Tracking the economy
Keller and others in that category say there is a stigma that long-term jobless people have been sitting around and don't really want to work. There is the perception that they won't take a lower paying job — and if they do, they will bolt as soon as they find a higher paying one.
And on top of that, some companies — including PMG Indiana, Sony Ericsson and retailers nationwide — have explicitly barred the unemployed or long-term unemployed from certain job openings, outright telling them in job ads that they need not apply.
The phenomenon poses a vicious cycle of unemployed people wanting work but not being able to get it because they are unemployed, human resource experts say.
"You could compare it to when people are buying homes," said Pete Morse, partner of Barnes & Thornburg's labor department. "A home that's been on the market a period of time, people are going to look at it and say, 'Hey. There must be something undesirable about this house.' "
That's why the long-term unemployed have to work extra hard to land a job.
Since being laid off from Firestone in May 2009, Keller has increasingly packed her schedule, going to countless job interviews and networking events.
Just Thursday, her schedule included a job interview at 8 a.m., a networking luncheon in Fishers, home to check e-mails and search job prospects, then off to a 4:30 p.m. networking event in Carmel.
"Finding a job is a full-time job," said Keller, a married mother of two who lives in Carmel. "It's harder, in fact, with all these misconceptions."
From an employer's standpoint, however, there could be some legitimate reasons for not hiring the unemployed, Morse said.
"For any particular position in this dour economy, there are thousands of applicants," he said. "People are looking for a way to narrow the field. They have pressure to put the best team on the field."
On top of employers' perceptions of unemployed workers, many long-term jobless applicants lose self-confidence and hurt themselves walking into the interview already beaten, said Karl Ahlrichs, a human-relations consultant at Gregory & Appel in Indianapolis.
"There can be a lot of comfort in playing the victim," he said. "But it's quickly picked up by the employer that that might carry through if you get hired."
On the other hand, if the candidates go in and point out the positives of long-term unemployment, it can work to their advantage.
"The people that are currently working are pretty burned out. They have been over-tasked and under-motivated and scared for a long time and their reserves are probably pretty far down," Ahlrichs said. "Somebody coming off the bench will be fresher."
Sitting the bench, however, hasn't proved to be a positive for Henri Shenter. Since losing his job in construction sales 15 months ago, Shenter has been turned down for jobs nearly 50 times.
He's looking for another sales job and at 35 has 15 years experience, but as soon as they see his last date of employment, he said, it's over.
"They throw it in the trash," said Shenter, of Greenwood. "There is absolute discrimination going on."
Whether that discrimination is legal is up for debate.
"An employer that discriminates against the unemployed risks legal action," said Michael Blickman, partner in the labor and employment group at Ice Miller, adding he is unaware of any legal precedent.
The candidate could argue that filing for unemployment is a statutory right and that an employer's policy not to hire the unemployed unjustly interferes with that right.
Morse disagrees, arguing that the unemployed are not among the categories protected by discrimination laws.
"The mere fact of you being unemployed for a period of time is not a protected characteristic," he said. Categories like age, race and gender are.
Still, a company like PMG Indiana that recently ran an ad for a production assistant that read: "Must have worked in the previous 12 months," walks a fine line, Blickman said.
"An employer should ensure that it has a solid business justification if it adopts that kind of policy or practice," he said. "The employer also risks the loss of good will among its own employees, customers and the public with this kind of policy."
PMG did not return phone calls to The Star.
But the company is far from alone in wanting workers who already are gainfully employed, said Patrice Waidner, board chair of the Business and Professional Exchange, a networking organization that helps unemployed professionals.
"Companies are saying, 'I will take the person who was just working or is currently working,'" she said. "It is extremely difficult to get back into the job market."

Orgone Generators: The Right Generator for the Right Purpose
If you haven't already heard about orgone generators, it's a safe bet that you soon will. Orgone generators can help cleanse an area of the negative energy created by electromagnetic energies and low level electromagnetic waves. These waves, which are an ever-increasing health problem for humans in the modern world, send out negative emanations and vibrations that cause fatigue, illness and pain. Among other issues, electromagnetic energies have been implicated in cancer, heart disease, chronic pain, arthritis, migraines, insomnia, night terrors in children and general malaise.
If you live near cell phone towers, power lines and other power generators, your property needs serious help to harmonize it and bring the resonances back into a natural balance. Geocleanse orgone generators are designed to vibrate at a harmonic intensity that will counteract the positive ions that negatively affect humans. They offer an effective way to clear away negative energies and can be especially useful in bedrooms and children's rooms, where they can promote healthful, natural sleep patterns.
Personal Orgone Generators
Cell phones, iPads and other personal WiFi and wireless devices emanate harmful electromagnetic frequencies that have been implicated in brain cancer, among other illnesses. The best way to deal with these EMR nasties is through the use of a personal orgone generator, such as cell phone radiation shields. These naturally magnetic items resonate with a harmonic frequency that protects you from the damaging vibrations and energies of cell phones, electronic devices and other generators of negative energy.
Personal Orgone Products
In addition to orgone devices, there are many orgone generators that are not powered by anything - they are simply natural orgone producers. Orgone pendants are among the most popular of these products. They are attractive, unobtrusive and affordable. They are made of all natural materials, such as shells and glass, or of organic resins. They come in many different colors, so you can match them to your clothing or choose a color that feels right with your personal aura or energy. If you suffer from pain, discomfort or general malaise, personal orgone generators hold the key to relieving your discomforts and promoting harmony and health.
Orgone Food Enhancers
Orgone is the natural life energy that exists in all living things, but our modern methods of agriculture and production reduce the all-important vital life force that enhances nutrition and health. Restore the natural health-giving energies and infuse your food and water with orgone products designed to enhance the nutritional benefits of your food. There are orgone generators designed to decrease negative energies in your refrigerator, as well as containers made of orgone generating materials, such as orgone infused water bottles and orgone infused baby bottles.
Don't live with pain, malaise and fatigue. Invest in orgone generators and bring your surroundings and your life back into harmony.

100? Not quite but it will feel that way
Published 7:41 am, Monday, July 22, 2013
The city could get a smattering of showers and thunderstorms Monday afternoon while high temperatures and humidity push heat indices into the triple digits.
Monday morning will be partly cloudy, and the afternoon should be significantly sunnier with a 20 percent chance for light, scattered rain after 1 p.m., National Weather Service forecaster Pat McDonald said.
"It'll be kind of like yesterday, but not quite as much," McDonald said. "If a particular shower hits your area, you should consider yourself fortunate."
Temperatures steadily will climb throughout the week, but they likely won't peak in the triple digits.
News Channel
McDonald said heat indices, however, will make the days feel much hotter — Monday's high, for example, will feel like 101.

The following are active collections, in which we are currently interviewing, transcribing, editing, and adding to continuously.
Please check back often for new additions.
Joplin Tornado Oral History Project, Records, 2011-
The collection consists of interviews with people who experienced, were affected by, and/or were a part of the devastating EF5 multiple-vortex tornado that struck Joplin, Missouri, on May 22, 2011. The focus of this project is to help document the community of Joplin both before and after the tornado, as well as the rebuilding of this community. The collection consists of digitally recorded interviews, transcripts (forthcoming), and ephemera.
Missouri Desegregation and Civil Rights Oral History Project, Records, 2013-
The collection consists of interviews with people who attended Douglass and/or Hickman High School in Columbia, Missouri. The collection consists of digitally recorded interviews, audio logs, and photographs. The collection is ongoing and open to interviews concerning any school and/or civil rights topic in Missouri.
Missouri Environment
The Missouri Environmental Oral History Project began in 1997. The project seeks to document the history of conservation, preservation, environmentalism, land and natural resource use in Missouri.
The interviews fall under the following subject areas:
Missouri Ex-POWs Oral History Project
Since 2000, the Missouri Ex-POWs Oral History Project has sought to record, preserve, and honor the personal histories of the state's former prisoners of war. Most interviewees were prisoners of either the German or Japanese military during World War II.
The initial phase of the project concentrated on members of the American Ex-Prisoners of War, Heart of America Chapter based in Kansas City, Missouri. The American Ex-Prisoners of War (AX-POW) is a national, non-profit organization of American citizens who were captured by the enemy. Researchers will note that some of the interviewees, although members of the Missouri-based chapter, were living in Kansas at the time of the interview.
Missouri Lives, Oral History Project, Records, 2014-
The collection consists of interviews with a wide array of Missourians who have had an interesting personal history and life. The collection consists of digitally recorded interviews, transcripts, and ephemera.
Missouri Newspapers Oral History Project, Records, 1996-
Interviews with Missouri newspaper people regarding the history and evolution of newspapers in Missouri. The records include audio cassettes, transcripts, logs, notes, correspondence, and related ephemera.
Missouri Veteran Oral History Project
The Missouri Veterans Oral History Project, begun in 2008, builds on the Ex-POWs Oral History Project, expanding the scope for collecting, documenting, and preserving the personal histories of Missourians who served in U.S. military conflicts and war. Currently, the project focus is on veterans of World War II, but will eventually include oral histories of the Korean and Vietnam Wars, as well as more recent Middle Eastern conflicts.
Missouri Veterans History Project, Oral History Records, 2010-
The records of the Missouri Veterans History Project contain the local copy of veteran oral history interviews recorded for the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress. The records include audio, video, interview logs, and some transcripts. The former Western Historical Manuscript Collection, a joint collection with the State Historical Society of Missouri, was a founding partner of the Veterans History Project in 2001.
One-room Schoolhouse Oral History Project, Records, 2008-
Interviews with people who attended or taught at one-room schoolhouses.
Politics in Missouri Oral History Project
Begun in 1996, the Politics in Missouri Oral History Project is the longest continuous effort of The Oral History Program. Mid- to late-twentieth century Missouri political history remains under-studied, and we hope to address this void by making a large new resource available to the public and the scholarly community. Currently, the collection contains over 160 oral histories.
The project continually seeks interviews with former Missouri legislators, governors, state-wide elected officials, aides, lobbyists, and various political participants.


text: Guillermo del Toro and Beasts of the Southern Wild writer to make Secret Garden adaptation The Pan's Labyrinth director will work alongside Oscar-nominated screenwriter Lucy Alibar to create an adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic children's novel Comments Written By Ellie Walker-Arnott 4:09 PM, 05 February 2013 Guillermo del Toro is to start work on an adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic children's novel The Secret Garden. The director, who has worked on films such as Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy, will produce the film alongside Mark Johnson, while Oscar-nominated screenwriter Lucy Alibar will pen the script. It was hoped that del Toro - who is known for his dark and surreal films - would direct, but the filmmaker is too busy working on a sequel to his upcoming sci-fi epic Pacific Rim and turning Pan's Labyrinth into a stage musical, reports Deadline. The Secret Garden follows Mary Lennox, a young girl who is sent to England to stay with her reclusive uncle when both her parents are killed in a cholera outbreak in India. Mary is told she must stay in two rooms and amuse herself, but when her maid tells her a story about a secret garden, where the mistress of the house was killed in a terrible accident, she starts venturing outside. The Secret Garden has been adapted for cinema before. Agnieszka Holland's 1993 film starred Maggie Smith, Andrew Knott, Kate Maberly and John Lynch. Another of Frances Hodgson Burnett's books, A Little Princess, was adapted by Alfonso Cuarón in 1995. Guillermo del Toro's credits include The Rise of the Guardians and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, while he also recently co-wrote the screenplay for Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy. Fantasy film Beasts of the Southern Wild, which is currently up for four Oscars, was Alibar's screenwriting debut. Like this? Share it.

Q: intermittent battery draining on 2001 BMW X5
I have a 2001 BMW X5 the alternator went out had it replaced at my local shop and it was running fine then about a week later the battery died. After jumping it in ran fine for two weeks took it to the shop everything checked out. It will keep doing this. The shop has now replaced the alt 3 times and the battery twice both different brands and high end. They have checked all the fuses they are fine they have checked the alt and battery and they are fine. They have check for shorts and nothing. They even checked out the live leads when the vehicle is off and all under the amps to drain battery and all leading to radio computer etc. No after market stuff has been put on. The battery will die without warning in as little as 12 hours in the garage where we dont set the vehicle alarm but it all started after the alt was changed is there something you need to do different when you replace and alt or a battery on a BMW X5. Even the shop now is at a loss everything comes back good even the dome lights shut off automatically after the 20 min or so can someone please help us. Thank You in advance
There are two different types of alternators available for the M54 motors, a 90A or a 120A alternator. BMW can't simply look it up, the old alternator has a sticker on the housing indicating the amperage rating.
Also check to see if you have a "old style" fan speed resistor. The superseded resistor has around 40 heat sink poles, while the old one has less than half of that.

Thank you so much i told my shop what you said a they think you nailed it because the two alts before were 90 then they went to the 120 which is on there now but getting to the point after turning the a/c or heat off the fan will kick back on for a while with the key out and it only lasts about a minute but it can be kicking on and off when nobody is in there. My only other question if you have the time is this all happened after putting the new alt on after the old one went out is it a fluke or could the new alts did this in anyway? Thanks again we appreciate it
replace fsr /final stage resistor on for heater blower
I hope you have fixed your X5 by now but if you haven't i might have the solution. I have also had that problem for months. Finally with the help of BMW sites and doing some troubleshooting i found it was a faulty fan speed transistor unit. My mechanics changed the Final Stage, Blower Fan and haven't had any problems.

Green light for Gap safety Cameras to alert police
Beautiful but perilous ... safety measures will be installed at The
Gap at Watsons Bay to prevent suicides. Jennifer Soo
AN ELABORATE plan to stop people throwing themselves off Sydney's most notorious suicide spot, The Gap, could get the green light tomorrow.
More than $2million would be spent on surveillance cameras, security lighting, a safety phone and an anti-climb cliff-top barrier at the Watsons Bay lookout, where it is believed about 50 people take their own lives each year.
Some of the funds will be provided by Woollahra Council, which will put the proposal to the vote tomorrow night after almost two years consulting with specialist architects, police, mental health experts and residents.
Council wants the state and federal governments to chip in. Woollahra Deputy Mayor Isabelle Shapiro said: "We just hope [the higher tiers of government] will now see the need and the good work that has been done."
Motion-activated CCTV cameras would be installed at both main entry points to The Gap Park. The cameras could help police and ambulance rescue teams better respond to people threatening to jump as well as provide evidence in missing persons investigations.
Low-level lighting, installed in benches along the 30metre-high cliff top, would make it possible for facial images captured by the cameras at night to be identified.
Curved balustrades would replace the existing lookout fence. The proposed 1.3 metre barriers would lean inwards and have no footholds.
A single-button dial emergency phone would provide a direct line to counsellors and police.
Matt Dragun, the brother of Channel Ten newsreader Charmaine Dragun, who fell to hear death at The Gap in November, cautiously welcomed the initiatives.
"You fix one area and another becomes a problem," Mr Dragun said. "But anything might help, I guess."
In the week leading up to Ms Dragun's suicide at least 10 people contemplating the leap visited the spot, sources said.
Woollahra Council Community Safety Committee member Bruce Bland said the proposed upgrade would cater for the growing number of tourists who visit the hauntingly beautiful location. The fences and facilities were in need of a major facelift, he said.

Twisted Root Burger Company or T-Root if you are a regular is a burger and beer place. When you enter the restaurant I feel right at home. They are all about the important things in life, like burgers and beers. When you are waiting in line many signs, posters and slogans greet you. I liked a few in particular: "I am following the voices in my wife's head", so true. Also: "Wife and dog lost. Reward paid for dog".
This is in the middle of lunch around 11:30 and it is very busy. The line is long and when we get to order it has been 15 minutes. The menu is very varied and most of the items are burgers. They have traditional burgers, exotic meat burger like alligator and venison and specialty burger. My fellow Burger Hunter and I ordered specialty burgers: a Western Burger with onion strings, jalapenos and bacon and a Peppercorn Ranch Bacon Burger (obvious what that one has). We also ordered Curly Fries and drinks.
When you pay you get a card with some celebrity name on and they will announce this name once the order is ready. Our celebrity name was William Wallace.
The wait after the order was not too bad, maybe 6-7 minutes. While you are waiting you get your drinks. Condiments are there right on the table along with napkins etc.
First impression of the burger is that this is a higher end burger. The meat has an incredible good and grilled smell and the ranch on my burger was definitely home made. The burger itself doesn't look so impressive, but that is because you actually get it "disassembled". The patty is on the bun with the specialty items your ordered, but the onion, tomato and lettuce is on the side and the top bun is also off. Once you put it all together it is tall enough to be impressive again.
The meat is very tasty. They manage to grill it to perfection and the meat quality is very good. If you buy ground beef and grill it on a pan, you will not be able to get this taste out of the meat. It is very impressive. I ordered my medium and it was exactly that; I like that they are able to do this with so many orders on their hand. The burger is definitely very good and you are still able to walk out of there without feeling like you had a brick.
The fries are good and decent fries: nothing impressive but just above average.
If I had to mention something a little negative it is the initial wait to get to order. 15 minutes is just too long. I am suspecting that they have to make people wait so they can get people out to accommodate the new people coming in, but still.
I will definitely recommend T-Root mostly because of the impressive meat and I think the place must be awesome at night having a burger and a couple of beers (or many if you must). Just get there early.

Ward tops 1,000-yard mark in win
A meaningless game for the Steelers, as far as the playoffs were concerned, turned out to be a memorable one for veteran wide receiver Hines Ward. He surpassed 1,000 yards receiving for the fifth time in his career and for the first time since 2004.
Ward, who caught six passes for 70 yards in the Steelers' 31-0 win over the Browns on Sunday, became the first wide receiver in team history to make 800 career receptions.
"He is a heck of a player," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "He tries to trick himself into being underrated, and he is not. We appreciate him."
Said Ward: "I've caught (passes) from all different types. It would be a great trivia question to figure out who threw Hines Ward his 800th catch."
That would be Dennis Dixon. The rookie quarterback made his NFL debut yesterday and completed his only pass attempt for 3 yards.
• The Steelers put more emphasis on the fullback and went into the game with the mindset that they were going to run the ball. They ran out of the I-formation against the Browns more than they had in any game this season.
Willie Parker, who has said he prefers to run with a fullback in front of him, rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown.
"I love the I-formation," Parker said after collecting his fourth 100-yard rushing game of the season. "I love the plays we were calling. I knew we were going to pound the ball, so you know I definitely love that."
Said center Justin Hartwig, "We haven't lined up in that package a lot this year. As an offensive line, we just like to be able to run the ball when we need to."
• The Steelers held outside linebacker James Harrison out of the game as a precaution. Harrison, who set a Steelers single-season record with 16 sacks, didn't practice last week because of a hip pointer. Free safety Ryan Clark (shoulder) also didn't play because of an injury. Joining them on the inactive list were cornerback Fernando Bryant, outside linebacker Bruce Davis, offensive tackles Tony Hills and Jason Capizzi and defensive tackle Scott Paxson. Dixon served as the third quarterback. Lawrence Timmons started at right outside linebacker for Harrison, and Tyrone Carter took Clark's place in the lineup. Carter left the game in the first quarter with a head injury but returned in the second half. He had two interceptions, a career high, and returned one for a touchdown.
• The victory gave the Steelers a season sweep of their AFC North rivals. The Steelers finished 6-0 against conference foes for the first time since 2002.
• The Steelers are off today and will practice Tuesday-Thursday before taking a three-day weekend.
• The Browns finished the season without an offensive touchdown in their final six games.
• Wide receiver Santonio Holmes (55 receptions) and tight end Heath Miller (48 receptions) each established career highs for catches in a season.
1 — Passer rating for Browns quarterback Bruce Gradkowski yesterday.
8 — First downs the Browns had yesterday.

Updated at 12:55 p.m. ET
Republican Tim Pawlenty formally launched his presidential campaign today in Iowa, promising voters he'll tell the truth about the economy and other issues in contrast to what he calls the failure of President Obama.
"In 2008, Barack Obama told us he would change America, and he has," Pawlenty said at a kickoff event in Des Moines. "In 2012, we'll change America again, and this time it will be for the better."
The former two-term Minnesota governor stressed his experience cutting spending in a Democratic state, in both his announcement speech and an op-ed for USA TODAY. His campaign theme, "A Time for Truth," resonated in his announcement and in a video released late Sunday in advance of his Iowa town hall meeting.
"We've tried Barack Obama's way, and his way has failed," Pawlenty said Monday. "It's time for a new approach. And it's time for America's president -- and anyone who wants to be president -- to look you in the eye and tell you the truth."
Among those issues: talking about the need to reduce subsidies for corn-based ethanol while he's in Iowa, a touchy subject for all presidential candidates when campaigning in the state that's home to the nation's first caucuses.
Pawlenty said he'll go to Florida tomorrow and talk about gradually raising the retirement age for Social Security eligibility and "means testing" the annual cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security so wealthier seniors would get less benefits.
The race for the GOP nomination took an unexpected turn over the weekend when Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels bowed out of the 2012 contest, citing his family's concerns about a grueling national campaign. Daniels, a former budget director for George W. Bush, is widely viewed within the Republican Party as one of the most forceful voices about the dangers facing the nation from rising debt.
Pawlenty, who was once considered a possible running mate for John McCain in 2008, is one of the candidates who could benefit from the decision by Daniels, Mike Huckabee and Haley Barbour to sit out the White House race.
Although his standing in Gallup and other public opinion polls trails Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, Pawlenty doesn't appear to have as much baggage from previous national exposure as the other candidates do.
The Democratic National Committee sent out a lengthy "fact check" of Pawlenty's claims in the USA TODAY op-ed, slamming the Republican for pandering to GOP conservatives in the run-up to his presidential race and for rising state and local tax increases during his tenure as governor.
Earlier today, the DNC released a video that, among other things, seeks to portray Pawlenty as flip-flopping on a plan to reduce carbon emissions, which he supported as governor but now says he made a mistake by endorsing. It also asks why Pawlenty is running, playing off a quote he gave to Time magazine trying to explain his candidacy.

Blue Ivy once again becomes a popular moniker as a new strain of marijuana is sold in Hollywood under her name.
The name Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z picked for their first child has become such a household name that it is also used for a marijuana. "OG Blue Ivy" is now selling out in multiple weed dispensaries in Hollywood as a new strain of marijuana.
The sellers are cashing in on the newborn baby's name. Beyonce and Jay-Z have nothing to do with the new strain but it is yet clear whether they would go to court for the name use.
At five days old, Blue Ivy also hit the headlines for being the youngest person to appear on the Billboard charts. Her father, Jay-Z, recorded her crying, cooing and breathing for the song titled "Glory". It entered R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at number 74.

Exploring oxcarts and floating markets in Burma
Updated 4:51 pm, Monday, July 2, 2012
Martha Naber and Lee Glowinski, San Francisco
We went because: Bagan was known as the city of 4 million pagodas. The temples are very well preserved and beautifully decorated.
Don't miss: An oxcart ride at the end of the day through the Bagan ruins; the perspective up close is amazing.
Coolest souvenir: An antique hollow pendant with a small Buddha inside purchased from one of the floating markets.
Worth a splurge: A stay at Pristine Lotus with unforgettable views of Inle Lake.
We wish we'd packed: More pictures of the United States. Everyone wanted to know about our country and customs.
Other comments: Burma is an incredible country. The people are extremely friendly. It was an interesting time to be there with the changes in the government.

Lake Shore music teacher accused in vandalism incident
A veteran music teacher faces a court appearance next week in connection with a vandalism incident that took place in the auditorium of Lake Shore High School in June.
His attorney said Glenn T. Molik, 46, of Derby, has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges in the case, but declined to comment further Monday.
Tapes made by video surveillance cameras in the school helped Evans police determine who was responsible for the vandalism, Police Chief Ernest Masullo said.
Molik is accused of vandalizing costumes, props and a large vinyl banner that were going to be used by Derby Dance Connection, a privately operated dance organization that rented space in the high school for a June 20 dance recital featuring performances by about 100 children.
According to a police arrest report, the director of the dance group showed up at the school the afternoon of the recital and "found all the costumes thrown about, three clothes racks' worth, six cork board props broken, and a vinyl banner pulled down, damaging the eye hooks."
"It probably caused damage in the hundreds of dollars, but it was more an inconvenience than anything else," Dance Connection director Krista Wagner told The Buffalo News on Monday.
She said school officials indicated to her that "someone who was having a bad day" caused the damage, but she said she doesn't know why her group's property was targeted.
Dancers had gone through a rehearsal June 18, and the vandalism occurred sometime before the recital, which was held June 20, Wagner said. She said about 100 children participated in the event, with almost 500 parents, family members and friends in the audience.
Molik was arrested June 25.
Dance Connection has rented space at the school for years for its recitals, and several other dance groups also rent space for recitals each year, Lake Shore School Superintendent James E. Przepasniak said.
"We've never had anything like this happen before," Przepasniak said.
He said Molik, a district employee for 21 years, was placed on administrative leave after his arrest and faces administrative charges filed by the district. Przepasniak said he could not discuss the charges in detail. He said Molik is not currently being paid because he is off for the summer. If the charges are still pending when school resumes in September, Molik will receive his pay, at least until the administrative case is resolved.
"The district will not move forward with its actions until the court matter is resolved," Przepasniak said. "We've done everything we can to make sure it's handled correctly and appropriately."
The superintendent declined to comment when asked if the district is attempting to terminate the teacher, or if he knows what touched off the incident.
Molik's attorney, Carl W. Morgan, said he could not comment on the incident except to confirm that Molik has pleaded not guilty.
Masullo also declined to comment on any possible reasons for the vandalism.
Molik is listed on the school district's website as the high school's orchestra director and pit conductor. The website said he leads concerts at Christmas time and on other occasions.
The teacher also is listed as a building representative for the Lake Shore Central Teachers Association.
He is charged with criminal mischief and criminal tampering, both misdemeanors. He is scheduled to appear before Evans Town Judge Timothy Cooper at 6:30 p.m. next Monday. The Erie County District Attorney's office is prosecuting the case.

The grand interior of Bolton Parish Church, taken in monochrome by Gareth Haywood
THE stunning beauty of one of Bolton's most prominent buildings has been captured by Bolton Digital Photographic Society.
Members captured these unusual and striking images of Bolton Parish Church.
Secretary of the group, Phil Wood, said: "We all notice Bolton Parish Church from that end of town and passing by on St Peter's Way.
"We can see that it is a large and impressive building, but it is only when you get close to it that you see the wealth of detail."
As well as capturing the church building, photographers also snapped religious and secular objects in the museum corner.
Mr Wood said: "I rather liked the weather cock, which is pretty large when you see it close to. The stained glass windows look as wonderful from the outside at night as they do inside on a sunny day.
"Our six members were grateful to the church for this opportunity to see it on a dark night."
The society has a practical activity every month where photographers meet to take photographs of a place, a thing or in a style.
Members took shots of Bolton Parish Church inside and out, the view along the aisle, the ceiling, the painted organ pipes, carvings and the objects in the museum area.
The building was illuminated by its own lights and Stephen Dutch presented a framed photograph to Cllr John Walsh as a thank you to the church for its permission.

AFTER a welcome week off, Western Sydney coach Tony Popovic has warned his players to prepare for a hectic schedule as they kick off their Asian Champions League campaign.
The Wanderers sat out last weekend's A-League round, having played their round 19 fixture against Melbourne Victory last month.
But this week things heat up for the second-placed Wanderers as they embark on a schedule of 14 games in eight weeks including three trips to Asia.
They travel to Perth for Saturday's clash before hosting South Korean side Ulsan Hyundai in their first ACL group match next Wednesday.
Popovic said the break was conveniently timed as it's the only respite they'll get for the remainder of the season.
"It was an opportunity to work on a few things in training and also give some of the boys some down time," Popovic said.
Popovic has been criticised for what's been termed a `rotation policy' but all his players are now fit and firing at just the right time.
Defender Jerome Polenz and midfielders Mateo Poljak and Iacopo La Rocca have all made comebacks from injury over the last few weeks.
And Popovic expects all his players to back up fine from their trip to Perth.
"We'll see. It's a new experience for us here at the club and we're looking forward to the challenge," he said.
"But it's one step at a time. We've got to take care of Perth first... then we'll shift our attention to a tournament that is very prestigious ... and we want to represent the A-League well."

Beijing (UPI) Jun 21, 2011
The operator of China's massive Three Gorges Dam said it is building four hydroelectric power stations, which will be capable of producing twice as much power as Three Gorges.
Combined, the facilities -- Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba, Wudongde and Baihetan -- on the Jinsha River will generate about 190 billion kilowatts of electricity, said China Three Gorges Corp., state-run news agency Xinhua reports.
Xiangjiaba is to be put into operation next year. Xiluodu, to be the second-largest hydropower station in China after Three Gorges, will have an installed capacity of 13.96 million kilowatts. Completion is scheduled for 2013.
Wudongde and Baihetan are still in the design stage. Approval to build the four plants was granted in 2002, the corporation said.
China Three Gorges provided the update on the new facilities in its first "responsibility report" on Three Gorges Dam, in which the company defended the controversial dam.
The report comes a month after China's State Council outlined a number of "urgent problems" regarding environmental, geological and economic issues related to the Three Gorges Dam, citing a heightened risk of landslides, earthquakes and prolonged damage to the river's ecology.
During the engineered flooding required for the construction of Three Gorges, 13 cities, 140 towns and 1,350 villages were submerged and 1.8 million people displaced.
Critics of Three Gorges have questioned its role in China's severe drought that dragged on for more than five months and the ensuing floods now battering the country.
"The dam operators lack experience in managing the water flow," said Yang Fuqiang, a senior adviser on climate and energy at the Natural Resources Defense Council, The New York Times reports.
"They waited for too long until the drought impact reached extremes. And when they finally released water, the natural connection between the river and surrounding lakes was already broken, making it difficult to refill the lakes."
But China Three Gorges Corp. maintains that aside from producing electricity, its role is to help with drought relief and flood control.
To raise water levels and ease drought, the company's report said, the dam this year had released more than 20 billion cubic meters of water.
"The Three Gorges Dam didn't cause the drought, which lingered in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River for months but instead supplied those stricken areas with large quantities of water and relieved the drought greatly," Zhu Guangming, spokesman for the corporation, told China Daily.
"Flood control is the most important task of our project now," said Chen Fei, general manager of the company.

Chile court blocks Patagonia dam project
Santiago (AFP) June 20, 2011
A Chilean court Monday ordered the suspension of a project to build a complex of giant hydroelectric dams in the Patagonian wilderness, bowing to appeals by lawmakers and environmental groups. The appeals court in the southern port city of Puerto Montt ordered a stay "which means the project is paralyzed until the essence of the matter is resolved," the judiciary said in a statement.

text: We are thinking of having two types of allocations that can be captured by Gold. 1) One we call term allocations, which looks to be supported 'out of the box' by Gold by the gdeposit command. This can be defined as a one time allocation with a start end expiration date. The rate of use on this allocation is not restricted. 2) The second type of allocation can be termed as a rate of use allocation. This could be defined as... Units of allocation used for the previous X number of days should be at or below this rate of use threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, then the job runs at a lower priority queue. In special cases it would be possible to raise the threshold manually. This could be expressed as Pa = (At * Tp) / (Te - Ts) in days where Pa = allocation for Tp At = allocation amount Tp = time period for rate allocation Te = end time Ts = start time example at 30 day rate allocation... Ts = Jan 1, 2009 Te = Jan 1, 2010 At = 100,000 units Tp = 30 days Pa = 8,219 units... The project must consume less than 8,219 units of allocation during any 30 day period. The gdeposit command doesn't seem to support this rate of use allocation. What seems to be supported by the gdeposit command seems to be what we have defined as a 'term' allocation. Would this be somehow done by the creation of our own custom allocation type object? Is it possible to capture this allocation rate of use in Gold, and if so how could this be done? Thanks for any insight any Gold users out there might have, -Ingmar Thompson NCAR
