adamspade replied to roblane09's topic in Games Career DevelopmentYou do not "have" to have a degree. With or without a degree you will have to network and or apply for jobs. Work experience and skill is most definitely important. If you don't have the work experience, a company will most definitely want you to show them papers. Also depends on who you are applying too. Are you applying to EA or a company of less than 30 persons? Even so, it depends on the hiring managers level of control. I'd hire experience over a know-it-all college brat any day. When you interview, show them why you are better than all those college brats they just interviewed. Don't lose hope and be discouraged. Have a strategy and get your butt out there. Equal opportunity employer? May the best man win.
adamspade replied to Bakuda's topic in Games Business and LawPersonally, I wouldn't have even sent it back to you. I won't do business with someone who refuses to give me their address. Plain and simple. It's nothing personal. But I have an obligation as Executive Producer to ensure that the work of my team is not stolen. But you need to be informed as to the reason for this. I would try to explain the reason over the phone so that you could understand before I even sent you the NDA. It's obvious to me that he didn't do a good job at this. He mailed it a 2nd time before I would have mailed it the first. lol Though we are creating games, which is fun, this is still a business. You have to be willing to do business if you plan to start working with any professional studio. The NDA is for your protection too. And yes, an address ensures that you ARE the person that matches the name. So, it is needed.
adamspade posted a topic in GDNet LoungeI am Executive Producer at Uncaged Games LLC and curious to know if there is much of a Filipino game development community out there. I enjoy working with Filipino's and even married one:) So, let me know!

adamspade replied to Fairywingsrpg's topic in Games Career DevelopmentDegree or "equivalent experience" usually works. I'm not saying "don't go to college" but get on a good indie team for the experience. Just make sure they put out (a game that is) so that your resume shows actual accomplishment. I'd give you a job right now if you can program and commit to at least 8hrs per week.

In the space of a week the Tuggeranong Vikings have dropped from top to fourth on the ACT Baseball first grade ladder, but they get their chance to start climbing back against the second-placed Kambah Eagles at Vikings Park on Sunday.
But the Eagles are the highest-scoring team in the competition for a reason, and have a huge talent pool to call on, such as the three Warner brothers and the returning Johnny Allender.
While the Vikings have slipped back, the Ainslie-Gungahlin Bears have surged to the top of the table on the back of a three-game winning streak.
The fifth-placed Belconnen Bandits have the tough task of hosting the Bears, and the winless Woden Rebels are desperate for a win before the Christmas break, but they won't find any charity from the third-placed Weston Creek Indians.

This was a fabulous stay. The surroundings were amazing and nothing was too much trouble for them The breakfast was adequate but not particularly spectacular.
the place is undergoing a major renovation. although not warned of this when booking our stay was pleasant with a good room. we were upgraded to a large room. dinner was in a temporary but pleasant (bar?) area as main restaurant was closed due to the renovations. food was good polish cuisine. we enjoyed it & had the place virtually to ourselves rather chilly in all areas & only 2 TV channels , both in polish. we were told this was temporary due to renovations. no lift. quite tricky to find. Should be a fine place to stay when the refurbishment is complete
The hotel appears to be a converted country manor house closely located to the town of Mszana Dolna. The room was spacious and quite comfortable. Some staff could speak English and I was made very welcome. Because there was a function on on my date of arrival and a subsequent date of my stay the staff went out of their way to reserve a parking place in the main courtyard next to reception which was very thoughtful and appreciated. The restuarant for dinner is a walk away across the courtyard and is used for various other functions. On one night a wedding took place and there was partying going on in the courtyard until 4 am. Unfortunately my room overlooked the courtyard so sleep was difficult. Perhaps the hotel should try to ensure that hotel guests not involved with functions are booked on the other side of the hotel.

thyroid hormone
Either of the tyrosine-based hormones, thyroxine (T4) or triiodothyronine (T3), which are secreted by the follicular cells of the thyroid gland. These iodine-containing hormones, which are formed in the thyroid from thyroglobulin and then released into the blood stream, help control the rate of all metabolic processes in the body and influence physical development and activity of the nervous system.
A normal thyroid gland produces about 20 times more T4 than T3. However, T3 is three to four times more potent as a hormone than T4.
When the level of thyroid hormones in the blood drops too low, the pituitary gland produces thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which causes the thyroid gland to produce more hormones. Under the influence of TSH, the thyroid manufactures and secretes more T3 and T4, thereby raising their concentrations in the blood. The pituitary senses this and responds by lowering its production of TSH.

Bowfishing still a niche sport in Western Pennsylvania
With no sun in the sky, Denny Russian was forced to search the clouds for carp.
Standing in his small green bass boat, the trolling motor pushing it along at its slowest possible speed, Russian peered into the water of Thompson Bay at Presque Isle on Monday. Weeds -- some of them looking like underwater hemlocks, with long "branches" of needly fronds, green tipped with red highlights -- swayed ever so gently just below the surface, as if dusting the glassy surface from below.
Then, in an instant, with a couple of excited "Oooh, ooohs," Russian wheeled at the waist, drew back his bow, and fired into the water.
The arrow disappeared with a plunk. Quickly, Russian, who lives in New Alexandria, grabbed the 400-pound test line that connected bow to arrow and started to pull. He felt a familiar weight at the end.
"Oh yeah, we got that one," he said. "He looked like a pretty nice one, too. I just saw his lips and then he took off."
The fish turned out to be a 27-pound carp, one of two Russian would shoot on this day. The other was only slightly smaller, a 24-pound fish.
It wasn't Russian's best day of bowfishing ever -- he killed a 54-pound grass carp at Erie last year, and has on occasion been able to shoot as many fish in a day as he wanted -- but for Russian, any day on the water with a bow is a good one.
"I really enjoy it. If you like to shoot a bow, and you like to hunt, bowfishing is great because it's a lot like bowhunting deer or anything else," Russian said.
It doesn't enjoy the same popularity as bowhunting, however. While bowfishing tournaments are big in some parts of the country -- there's even a Bowfishing Association of America that runs an annual World Shoot -- the sport is kind of a niche one here.
"I think it's a small group of guys," said Tom Qualters, assistant law enforcement supervisor for the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission in Somerset. "There are a handful of guys who do it here at Somerset Lake, and you hear of it at Shawnee Lake and a few other places, but you just don't see guys doing it that often."
That's too bad, said Tom Campbell of New Alexandria, another bowfisherman.
The sport is exciting, he said. At times, when carp are spawning and the sunlight is hitting the water, making the fish easier to spot, the action can be fast and furious, like rabbit hunting.
Even then, though, it's a challenge, he said. Archers floating through the shallows in a boat -- still-hunting, as it were -- have to learn to spot carp quickly because once a fish sees you, it's gone.
"It's sort of like hunting deer. If you've never hunted deer before and somebody takes you out, they'll say 'See that deer?' and you'll look and you won't be able to see anything. Then, after a few years, you learn to pick deer out of their surroundings," Campbell said.
"It's the same here. Spotting them is something you have to acquire a knack for."
A good bowfisherman can shoot a carp as deep as five or six feet underwater, Russian said. But the farther below the surface they are, the harder it is to hit them.
They're harder to see down deep, too, of course. The key is not to look for a whole fish, Russian said. You have to learn to look for a tail, their lips, maybe an eye. You can also look for "clouds" of mud and silt stirred up by fish rooting around in the bottom.
"You've just got to be quick," Russian said. "That's why I shoot with my fingers. I use a release when I'm hunting deer and a buck might walk past. But here, if a carp sees you, whoosh, it's gone."
"They're smart, the big ones are. That's how they got that big, just like an old buck. But that's what makes it so much fun."
Bowfishing -- which can be done with a compound or crossbow -- is legal in Pennsylvania only for carp and suckers. Fish can be taken day or night year round except in approved trout waters during the closed season.
The best fishing, though, lasts just a few weeks in the spring, Campbell said, when fish move into shallower water to spawn.
"You can do it anytime, but later in the year it gets tough. Fish get scarce," he said.
There are no regulations governing what type of equipment you have to use. Draw weight is not overly important, Russian said; it's best to shoot a bow you're comfortable with. You'll need an attachment that can hold 30 yards or so of 140- to 400-pound test line, however. YOu also need bowfishing broadheads, most of which have a collar that slides down on contact with a fish to release the blades.

Less well known than many Kensington pubs because of its location – hidden among the maze of avenues behind the High Street – this establishment has a great local feel.
Beer drinkers can enjoy continental lagers, Heineken and Früli or one of four rotating ales from the bar, which stands beneath a tropical mosaic of fronded palms. There are also four ciders (Aspall Perronelle's Blush and Brother's Festival among them) on offer and an array of spirits and cocktails, including the Kraken (spiced rum and Chase vodka).
In summer, you can repair to the outside decking area under the green frontage to tuck into goat's cheese risotto or free-range Gloucester Old Spot sausages and mash from the British gastropub menu, or just balance your well-poured pint on one of the barrels that are used as tables.

Lovely place for a quiet drink with a friend to a bigger Friday night gathering! Nice outside space and tasty food
Builders Arms has history for me - Been going there since I was at university down the road. It will always be a special place, great neighbourhood pub.
Good place!
Called into The Builders Arms yesterday afternoon for a quick drink before going to the Roof Gardens in Derry Street. Not very impressed! the girl serving was not familiar with prices etc and said they only charge for doubles even if you want a single! She wanted to put my wife's martini and lemonade in a small martini glass - she had no idea. She went out to ask the other members of staff what she should do. We gave up in the end. People were waiting to be served behind us. They were totally disorganised.!! It was a shame as the pub itself looked ok.

By Brent Snavely, USA TODAY and the Detroit Free Press
UPDATE 7:16 ET with more details, fixes GM closing price.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway disclosed today that it has acquired 10 million shares of General Motors stock.
The investment was among investments in numerous other companies was disclosed today in a filing with the Securities Exchange Commission by the Berkshire, of which Buffet is chairman and CEO.
Berkshire Hathaway purchased the 10 million shares for a total investment of $256.6 million. Those shares were worth $214.2 million when the market closed today.
It was not immediately clear whether Buffett himself was involved in the investment, or whether it was made by one of his associates.
The Berkshire investment is a just a tiny slice of the 1.57 billion GM shares outstanding. But it would seem a boost for the automaker to be deemed worth an investment -- at least at today's prices -- by the savvy so-called "Oracle of Omaha."
Buffett is known for making big bets on companies he views as undervalued, although the GM investment would be on the smaller side for the Nebraskan investor nicknamed the "Oracle of Omaha."
"It confirms the investment thesis that we've had on GM," Morningstar analyst Richard Hilgert said. "We definitely see some value there, just as Mr. Buffett does, and hopefully this will draw a little more attention to the stock from investors."
GM's stock, which fell less than 1% today to close at $21.42, rose nearly 4% in after-hours trading.
GM spokesman Jim Cain declined to comment, saying the automaker typically does not discuss specific investors.
GM shares were priced at $33 during the company's initial public offering in November 2010.
UBS Investment Bank analyst Colin Langan said in a research note Monday that he still recommends buying GM shares with a price target of $30.
A Berkshire spokeswoman was not immediately available to comment.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:45pm
I've now been in Cuba for three full days. It's difficult to say whether the time has flown bye or slowly crept along. I've never felt so broken away from my lifestyle back home as quickly as I have here. I'm not sure if it's the feeling of time warp in response to the old Spanish buildings, 1950's model cars, signed Hemingway books or if it's the vast differences in culture and politics that have engulfed me and keep my brain churning throughout the night.
As a recap for those who haven't read Day 1 & 2 in Cuba, I was invited by a group out of Baltimore to introduce lacrosse in Cuba to a summer camp attended by 800 boys and girls in Western Cuba. These 800 kids are picked as the top leaders in each of their churches and brought to the Christian based camp, located 45 minutes outside Havana, to work on their leadership skills and relationships with God. The camp has been going on for about 8-9 years and this year they will also be learning to play Lacrosse.
There are seven other Americans in our group who are serving as ambassadors of the sport: Sue Diffenderffer womens referee and president of the Greater Baltimore Chapter of US Lacrosse, Josh Hoffman from FCA, Madison Formwalt college freshman attending Loyola University, Juliet Boucher college freshman attending Messiah, Colson Castilla high school senior out of Texas, Bobby Zeigler a high school sophomore from Baltimore and of course Sandy Boucher our trip coordinator and translator who pulled this mission all together.
I quickly learned after my first hour in Cuba to document every bit of what I see through photographs, notes and videos. Otherwise, I'm the tidal wave of information will just flood in and out. All I can say is Cuba probably isn't what you think. Yes, they have problems but they are trying to fix them. I just came back from a 3 hour dinner with a man named Alfredo who was the head of Olympics for Cuba, and he said it best, "We have alot of difficulties in this country, but we are trying to overcome them... There will come a time when the smoke clears up."
Three Lacrosse Takeaways:
1) Kids got skills:
Thursday was our third day teaching the kids at camp. Our ambassador team had spent a total of 8 hours working with the campers and there is no way they could have improved that much just by thinking about the sport. These kids had clearly been practicing all day and night. When we pulled up this afternoon the campers were sitting around the goal practicing (and executing) sidewall stalls, behind the backs and long distance passing. There was a mass baptism going on in the ocean and I remember looking into the crowd and seeing the sticks waving and the balls being tossed.
2) Passion for the game:
Before our game yesterday, the two teams gathered in a circle arm in arm. Led by a Cuban named Adrian, who we picked up at the antique market earlier in the day to come play lacrosse, everybody prayed together. We prayed thanking God for the opportunity and asking for his guidance and assistance to help this game grow in Cuba. The passion doesn't end with the players, it continues into the hearts and minds of the authorities we've met in Cuba, like Israel Roldan who serves as secretary general of the International Federation of AAA baseball.. They feel the best strategy moving forward is to introduce the sport through the ministers of sports recreation and eventually bringing 4 college teams to Cuba to play in their National Baseball Stadium and hopes of promoting the sport. There have also been numerous talks about bringing Lacrosse to Puerto Rico at the same time as Cuba. The Cubans (and some of the Puerto Ricans we've met) say that a big part of lacrosse succeeding is going to be money. In terms o finances, Puerto Rico is more sorted than Cuba and will be able to execute the plan better.
3) Goodbye:
We were expecting to have one last final regulation game on Friday, but majority of the campers were leaving by early a.m. So at the end of camp today we handed out 80+ lacrosse sticks to 8 year olds, 50 year olds, pastors, and high schoolers. Some that didn't live near others were given several sticks so they could introduce their friends back home to the sport and continue to grow lacrosse grassroots style. Two older players who called themselves brothers (they were dear amigos) were given the two goals after they insisted they had a field near their home and would set up shop. Every camper insisted on getting staff autographs on lacrosse balls, stickers, magazines. The thank you's and hugs followed us right up to the closing van door. There might have been a tear shed.
Three Cultural Takeaways:
1) Little Professional Athletes
In Cuba they take great great pride in their athletics (especially baseball). As the kids grow up they are "watched" or better term is scouted, for their athletic potential. By the time the kids reach middle school they are identified and sent to a specialized sporting school. The others continue onto around 9th grade where they too are scouted for their skill sets and sent to study certain professions: mechanics, doctors, architects etc. Problem with being an architect is that no money is going into construction and refurbishment, so most architects become waiters or less skilled professions.
2) Payment
Continuing off of the professions, how do Cuban Citizens make money in a non-capitalistic country? Every Cuban makes between $17 and $30 pesos a month. A waiter would receive $17 every month while an orthopedic surgeon receives $30. At the start of each month you go to a building to pick up your government issued basket which holds the following outside of their free health care, education, etc:
3) El Zorro
When the Berlin Wall fell, so did communist Russia, and so did the food supply to Cuba. Cuba's main source of food came from the Soviet Union, so when that relationship broke down, Cuba went into a serious famine. Our driver Manuelito called it "a special period in time." Sandra Boucher, our trip organizer and translator, asked Manuel if it was true that there was hardly any food in Cuba at this time. Manuelito responded, "No that's not true. There was NO food. Cat's disappeared. I'm not telling you stories, I saw this happen." The Cubans were so hungry that they would take the thick leather like skins of plantains, grind them up though a meat grinder and eat. Cubans referred to the plantains as "El Zorro" because like Zorro, they saved everyone.

The fallout of nuclear fallout: Pete Eisler
Thursday, Feb. 28, 11 a.m. ET
Radioactive fallout from Cold War nuclear weapons tests caused at least 15,000 cancer deaths in U.S. residents born after 1951, according to data from an unreleased federal study. The study, coupled with findings from previous government investigations, estimates that 20,000 non-fatal cancers -- and possibly far more -- also are attributed to the tests. So what are the possible repurcussions of these findings? Talk to USA TODAY investigative reporter Pete Eisler about the story.

UCS Manager
Getting Started With UCS Manager
To begin, download the UCS XML API Programmer's Guide. This guide provides an overview of the UCS, the UCS management information model, the XML API, and contains numerous API examples.Review the UCS XML API training video directly below for a high level understanding of the API structure, methods and functionality.
You can use the developer forums to ask and answer questions. You can also search the forums to see if your question was already raised. The UCS blog also contains much useful information provided by expert technical users.
UCS is certified as a platform for leading enterprise applications, virtualization, and operating systems. Cisco UCS Manager is fully interoperable with the major systems management tools commonly found in heterogeneous data centers.
Cisco UCS Platform Emulator version 2.1(3a)PE1 is now available for download (updated September 16, 2013).
NOTE: Starting with UCSPE version 2.1, UCSPE is provided in both an OVA and VMX / VMDK virtual machine format. The VMX / VMDK format has been tested and can be converted to use with Microsoft Hyper-V.
The UCS Platform Emulator (UCSPE) was developed to enable the use of Cisco UCS Manager and the UCS XML API without requiring physical hardware. UCSPE significantly shortens the development cycle for applications that are based on the UCS XML API. You can create and test programs using only UCSPE installed on a laptop. UCSPE presents a controlled environment for the following:
- Emulation of large-scale environments
- Changes in the hardware inventory (device discovery)
- Firmware upgrade testing
- Troubleshooting real UCS problems
UCSPE also assists developers to do the following:
- Test UCS XML API requests in lieu of a real server
- Invoke the UCS GUI to become familiar with its usage and features
- Invoke the model object browser and internal documentation
- Provide a convenient way to demonstrate UCS operations for training and other activities
The UCS Platform v2.1 emulator is now available for download (download the v2.1 GA here). For more information on the operation and capabilities UCSPE, see the UCS Platform Emulator Guide.
- Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer that enables a developer to inspect network traffic. For UCS API devleopment, inspecting the traffic going from and returning to the UCS Manager GUI greatly enhances a developers understanding of the UCS API XML messages.
- Firefox Poster is a developer tool for interacting with web services and other web resources that lets you make HTTP requests, set the entity body, and content type. Poster aids developers using UCS API by alleviating the need to create a language dependent HTTP/HTTPS client.
- Third party tools documentation provides explanations and examples of how to use Wireshark and Poster with the UCS API.

(Feb. 22, 2010) The 2010 budget for the Cote d'Ivoire includes a number of tax provisions. Newly incorporated companies will be given tax incentives, as will companies that resume functions or maintained operations in parts of the country affected by the civil war. For companies newly incorporated or resuming activities, there is a tax exemption for eight years. In addition, from 2010 to 2012, those companies need not pay withholding tax on interest earned from inter-corporate interest payments. (Albert Atangana, Ivory Coast: Budget for 2010, TAX NEWS SERVICE, Feb. 19, 2010, subscription newsletter from [email protected].)
There has already been a reduction of corporate income tax for reinvested profits. The new budget adjusts that regime so that it is extended to trading companies, services suppliers, and those already entitled to special tax incentives. Furthermore, the maximum tax reduction is increased from 25% to 35% in the city of Abidjan and from 30% to 40% elsewhere in the country. (Id.)
The 2010 budget also institutes a one-year tax of 3% of the total operating costs of companies, to help the country recover from the global economic crisis. It applies to companies with a pre-tax turnover of CFAF1 billion (about US$2.134 million) or more as of December 31, 2009. (Id.)

The backlash against twenty-four-hour connectivity has started.
Carmaker Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) has agreed to deactivate e-mails on German staff Blackberry devices out of office hours to give them a break.
Under an agreement with labour representatives, staff at Europe's biggest automaker will receive e-mails via Blackberry from half an hour before they start work until half an hour after they finish, and will be in blackout-mode the rest of the time, a spokesman for VW said.
The new email regime applies to staff covered by collective bargaining so it would seem board level executives will still be slaves to their Blackberries.
Very few companies have taken such drastic measures to force workers towards a better work-life balance.
Telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom (DTEGn.DE) introduced a "Smart-Device-Policy" last year that calls on workers to claim communication-free time when they are off work, in exchange for a promise that management will not expect them to read e-mails or pick up the phone all the time.
"Mobile communication devices offer a great amount of freedom, but also embody the risk of no longer being able to switch off," the company said.

The Pew poll is devastating, just devastating. Before the debate, Obama had a 51 - 43 lead; now, Romney has a 49 - 45 lead. That's a simply unprecedented reversal for a candidate in October. Before Obama had leads on every policy issue and personal characteristic; now Romney leads in almost all of them. Obama's performance gave Romney a 12 point swing! I repeat: a 12 point swing.

When we are in teenage pimples, acne or zits are the part of our growing age. However as we lead to the adult stages all these skin infections may vanish. But these skin infections can revert back to those who are living with HIV infection. Folliculitisis is one of the HIV skin infections that can come back to the HIV patients. So let us see that what is Folliculitis?
Let us see the information about Folliculitis that is one of the HIV skin infections
What is Folliculitis?
Folliculitis is described as an inflammation or infection of hair follicles. Folliculitis can take place anywhere. However, most probably it emerges in areas that are irritated from, rubbing clothes, shaving, or pores blocked by oils and dirt. The most frequent sites of folliculitis contain:
What Causes Folliculitis?
Usually, folliculitis emerges when hair follicles become damaged and irritated from rubbing clothes or shaving. Pores can be clogged with oils and dirt. This situation causes breading grounds for fungus or bacteria. As these funguses are collected by pores and folliculitis, they get infected and folliculitis occurs.
Folliculitis: signs and symptoms
The emergence of folliculitis can be different from person to person but normally the symptoms involve
How is Folliculitis Diagnosed?
The appearance of the skin and the present lesions has been examined for the diagnosis of folliculitis. A skin biopsy can be done for ruling out the skin lesions. It helps to learn that which fungus or bacteria has caused for the infection.
Treatment for Folliculitis
The best option for treating the Folliculitis is to avoid it from happening in the very first stage. It is possible only when you minimize the damage of the hair follicles. It can be done by following ways
If the infection occurs, the treatment for it will be depending on the causes of infection and severity of it.
If the proper treatment is taken during the infection period folliculitis can be cured. However it can reoccur as well. In spite of your great efforts, if the infection occurs then consult your doctor for the further treatment plan. It would help you to control the infection and the further consequences.
HIV skin infection may lead to severe consequences but if it is treated within time at least a person can control the infection. A person should have a certain treatment plan for controling the disease. He/she can consult with their doctors. The doctor may decide and tell that how the plan should be followed for controlling the consequences. The infection can be controlled if it is in acceptable range. So it is advisable for the person to go through the proper treatment plan and follow whatever treatment plan you have given by your doctor.

Saith has been a yoga teacher in Sedona since shortly after he moved from his hometown near Philadelphia in 2001. After opening a studio with his siblings he began to branch away from Ashtanga Yoga and began exploring a new approach to yoga based in freedom, celebration, and intuition. His musical path developed right along side his Yogic journey until Saith had a large body of songs imbued with the same central themes as his Yoga. Accompanying his original "Lyrical Medicine" with his classically influenced piano style or his self-taught guitar approach, Saith has been compared to artists like Michael Jackson, Ray LaMontagne, and Bob Marley.

You are correct that these should be fixed in 3.1.5. Would it be
possible to see some debugging output from one of your runs?

By Chuck Johnson, USA TODAY
New York's Madison Square Garden has been called the "Mecca of Boxing" as the site of some of history's most memorable fights — none bigger than 1971's "Fight of the Century" when Joe Frazier upset Muhammad Ali in the first of their epic trilogy.
Unbeaten Miguel Cotto and three-division, four-time former world champion Shane Mosley will try to add to the arena's rich boxing legacy Saturday night (HBO PPV, $49.95, 9 p.m. ET, 6 PT) when they collide in a scheduled 12-rounder for Cotto's WBA welterweight title.
For only the second time since 2001, the Garden will open the mezzanine level for a boxing event to accommodate an expected sellout crowd of 20,000-plus. The last sold-out fight card at the Garden was Cotto's June 9 defense against Zab Judah.
Cotto (30-0, 25 KOs), from Caguas, Puerto Rico, has become sort of the de facto house fighter. His 11th-round TKO against Judah marked the third year in a row Cotto has fought at the Garden on the eve of New York's Puerto Rican Day parade.
A majority of today's bigger fights are held in Las Vegas. But Cotto's popularity among New York's sizable Puerto Rican community made the Garden the natural choice for Saturday's fight.
"The people at Madison Square Garden always make me feel at home," Cotto says. "I'm excited to put on a great show for them and all of my fans. I've prepared pretty hard in the past 2½ months to retain my title. I come in with my title and I will go back to Puerto Rico with my title."
Mosley (44-4, 37 KOs), from Pomona, Calif., has also fought three times at the Garden and expects to have support.
"I think I'll have a lot more New York fans than people think," Mosley says. "Being that my wife is from New York, I'm there a lot and a lot of New Yorkers want to see me. Even the Puerto Rican fans tend to love to see me fight.
"Cotto is a great fighter, but so am I. … I don't think I've ever been more excited for a fight. I can't wait to get it on."
Madison Square Garden recently retired its original ring, first used in 1925, and sent it to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, N.Y. Cotto-Mosley is the second event in the slightly larger new ring, following Samuel Peter's win against Jameel McCline in a heavyweight fight Oct. 6.
Mosley's prior Garden battles resulted in TKO victories against Eduardo Morales in 1998 and Antonio Diaz in 2000, and the loss of his welterweight title to Vernon Forrest by decision in 2002. Cotto stopped Mohammad Abdullaev in 2005, had a decision against Paulie Malignaggi in 2006 and most recently, stopped Judah.
The Cotto-Mosley showdown is bolstered by a strong undercard. Former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito (34-5, 24 KOs), from Tijuana, Mexico, faces Golden Johnson (25-7-3, 18 KOs), from San Antonio. Also two-division world champion Joel Casamayor (34-3-1, 21 KOs), from Guantanamo, Cuba, defends the Ring magazine and WBC interim lightweight titles against former champion Jose Armando Santa Cruz (25-2, 14 KOs), from Lincoln Heights, Calif.

Managing the client: A fairy tale
Share your comments on this topic with other web professionals
In: Articles
Published on January 3, 2002
I. Introduction
Once upon a time
No, hold it. Why do all fairy tales have to start with that beginning? It's cliché, and it gives no idea of the time period of the story. Forget it.
Take 2:
It was... a beautiful, sunny day in 2001. A handsome, rich, and typically smarmy prince was making his tour of the countryside in search of a wife. On this particular day, he was to meet her but he had no idea. In fact, he wasn't even sure that he was searching for a wife; his advisors had told him that he needed one, his father and mother were pressuring him, and all of the courtiers were whispering behind his back about his lack of a marital partner. Despite all of this, he remained blissfully ignorant of his need.
"If, indeed, I need a wife," he thought, "she will need me. She will come to me, begging my attention, and I will eventually take her in, if she meets my ideals."
His ideals were high. Some said they were unreachable.
"She will serve me, regardless of her own desires. She will be mine, and mine alone, whether I ignore her or acknowledge her, whether I treat her with the sweetest love or with the cruelest indifference." He quite liked this thought, in fact. Owning things was his life; a silver spoon had been jammed into his mouth since infancy, and he wanted nothing but the best.
When our heroine saw him riding through her town, she was smitten. He was profoundly attractive, and his wealth was evident. He flashed his winning (if entirely manufactured) smile, and she had to breathe deeply to keep from fainting. "Poor peasant girl," he thought to himself.
II. Development
In the weeks that followed, she pursued him ruthlessly, to no avail. No matter how many beautiful letters she wrote, how many stunning feats she accomplished, nothing could draw his attention. Finally, desperate, she visited her faithful psychic-and-savvy-business-advisor for advice.
"It's simple, my darling," he told her offhandedly. "You're a talented woman. Consider him your next prospect."
Breathlessly, she asked him to explain himself..
"Honey, think of him as you would any other new client. Marrying him is the first step; from the sounds of it, that will be tough enough, but keeping him in line afterwards might be an equally difficult task.
"What do you do when you're building a relationship with a new client? Take those very same steps with him. According to what I see in the spread before me... that's the only choice you have."
Still a little confused, she went home to consider what her advisor had said. Thinking back on her last project, she tried to remember how she'd laid the groundwork for success before the project had even begun. The beginning of the project seemed so long ago, though, and her memory was a bit foggy. So she opened up her old project management notebook to the first chapter of notes, and she began to read.
Prior to beginning a project for any new client, you must create a rapport, inspire the client's confidence, and establish some procedural guidelines.
Learn as much as you can about your client's business and industry.
If your project is to be of any value to the client, it must advance the client's business objectives. Knowing about the client's industry, business, and short- and long-term goals is essential to planning and executing a project that will meet the client's needs. Don't be afraid to ask even the most basic questions about the industry, potential target markets and audiences, sales methodologies, and competitors; the client will appreciate your interest and effort. Many clients will answer your questions with unexpected candor as a reward. (After all, finding someone who actually wants to hear about the mundane details of their business may be a rare treat - as you should know well from your own professional experience!)
Teach the client about your process and policies and stick to them.
Each interactive project, and each agency, comes with its own set of processes and policies. These policies are crystal clear to you. They're not clear to your client. It's your responsibility to clarify your policies before the project even begins. Trust me the extra time and effort is worth it. Educating the client indemnifies you from legal action in the case of a misunderstanding down the road. Having the client sign off on a legal agreement stating that he/she has been informed of your policies goes one step further to insure your legal protection, and is always a good idea.
Additionally, a thorough explanation of your process ensures that there are no unwelcome surprises for the client. Talk through the project from beginning to end, clarifying any ambiguous "techie" terms (beta test, user interface testing, maintenance utility, and so forth). Don't let yourself forget that this is often your client's first time dealing with this industry and this medium, and even if it's not, it is their first time going through the process with you.
"Well, that shouldn't be too hard," she thought to herself. With a renewed confidence, she contacted the castle and requested a phone conference with the prince to discuss a "business" proposal. Intrigued, he accepted.
Before their scheduled phone call, she researched the history of his family and their kingdom. She also made sure to look up information on kingship, princely behavior, and other royal families in the immediate area; she wanted to be adequately prepared. She wrote up a list of questions she would ask him, realizing that her follow-up questions would actually prove to be more important than her initial inquiries.
All of her work paid off, and the phone call was a success. At the end of the call, she requested a dinner meeting to further discuss the possibility of establishing a relationship, and he accepted.
That night at dinner, she laid out her plans, and was amazed as he paid the utmost attention to every detail, contributing his own thoughts and opinions as she continued. She was sure to tell him what she would and would not do for him, what she'd expect from him, and how the deal would benefit him and his kingdom. By the end of the night, they were laughing and finishing each other's sentences, and he enthusiastically accepted her proposal for marriage.
III. Assessing Needs and Planning
The date was set, and it was only three months away. The King's ailing health necessitated a short engagement, but the customs of the kingdom called for an elaborate celebration. Again, our heroine panicked. In a tizzy, she paid a second visit to her uncannily insightful advisor.
"The wedding's only three months away!" she exclaimed in a panic as she burst through the door.
"Well, congratulations," he replied. "Honestly, I saw it coming, but I can pretend to act surprised, if you'd like," he commented without taking his eyes off of his laptop screen.
"No, you don't understand." She demanded his full attention. "Three months equals 90 days! That's only 2,160 hours to get everything prepared, and there has to be at least 3,000 hours worth of work to do! I'm never going to make it through this." With a sigh of desperation, she collapsed into an armchair.
"Now, now, no need to get into a huff about it. What did I tell you before? You followed my advice, and see where it got you. So keep it up consider the engagement a signed contract, and the wedding a project."
She considered his words carefully. He was right; his advice in the past had paid off, in a big way. Maybe he had a point. The wedding resembled a new project with a tight deadline in many respects. She thanked him for his advice, and rushed home to dig out her project management notebook yet again.
"Now, where is that chapter hmm not that one ah, yes, here we go," she thought to herself as she flipped through the pages.
During the course of the project, it is up to you to keep the resources, schedule, and quality of the project balanced, while ensuring that established procedures are being followed and the client's needs are being met.
Promote your strengths and face your weaknesses.
Whether you're working by yourself or with 20 other developers, your team is certain to have some definite strengths and weaknesses. It's your job to know these things, and know them well. Even after your team has won the contract, you have a responsibility to constantly sell your team's strengths. This isn't the time to get shy or bashful; your strengths are valuable, and the client is paying for them, so don't be afraid to promote them.
On the other hand, it's equally important to know and face the specific weaknesses of your development team. If you're managing the project, any mistakes made throughout the process will often fall on your shoulders, at least in the mind of the client. Keeping that in mind, it's in your very best interest to compensate for any weaknesses your team may face. For example, if you know that quality control isn't your greatest strength, be sure to pay extra attention in that area, and don't be afraid to get help if you know you need it.
Be firm about pricing and policy issues.
These are the issues that are the most important for you in the long run. During the project, many clients will try to test their limits. The more you let them get away with this, the more they will push you. Review the original proposal often to remind yourself of what has been promised to the client. If the client requests services that go beyond the scope of the agreed-upon proposal, be careful to clarify the cost of each of these additional services. No matter how tough it seems, remaining firm on these policies is crucial to the overall success of the project and the establishment of a mutually beneficial relationship with the client.
Integrate yourself, and your project, into the client's business.
Before the project, you educated yourself about your client's business. Now ithe investment of time into all of that research gets paid back. During the course of the project, stay tuned into news in the client's industry, and be sure to let the client know of developments that will effect their business. If the client is aware of these changes, they can make great conversation pieces; if not, you've provided yet another valuable service to the client.
Continually remind the client of the value of the project in progress. When the client has a business problem, try to find a solution that includes your project. Point out ways that future iterations of the project could provide even more functionality and value to the client's business. In order to get the client's full attention, you must continually show the client how his/her investment will pay for itself and create additional revenue.
Establish procedures for maintenance.
At times it's hard to see to the end of the project, but it's there. Then what? Decide early on how the project will be maintained in the long run. Keep in mind the limitations of your client's resources, especially time and technical expertise; plan to train the client about the project and lay out a training plan for all important players in the client's organization. If necessary, draw up agreements that outline the maintenance program and any regularly-occurring or hourly charges.
"Yikes," she thought. She was already exhausted just thinking about all of the things that she had to do to prepare for the wedding and, more importantly, the marriage. The guidelines helped to focus her energy as she made a list of all of the things that needed to be done and started to tackle them one by one.
With a little bit of self-assessment, she took stock of her own strengths and weaknesses. She impressed herself with her own organizational skills, but she realized that she fell a bit short in the area of decorating. Keeping these things in mind, she found talented decorators to subsidize her own meager efforts, but she made sure to keep track of all of the details.
As the wedding drew closer, she spoke often with her groom-to-be, letting him know exactly what would be expected of him on the important day and beyond. She reassured him that everything would be picture-perfect, fitting perfectly into the image his monarchy had set for itself. The wedding would go down in the annals of history as a sophisticated, elegant affair, and they both had high hopes that the marriage itself would be just as notable.
IV. Implementation
The day of the wedding celebration arrived with much pomp and circumstance. Thanks to all of the careful planning and preparation that had taken place, the entire day was proceeded smoothly and memorably just as it was supposed to! Small problems arose, of course, but they had been anticipated and were quickly resolved. The new princess just smiled quietly to herself as she watched the action going on around her, proud of all she had done and excited for the future ahead. While the guests ate at the reception, Her Highness stole away for a quiet moment of reflection. Pulling out her trusted project management notebook, she read one final passage.
Congratulations! The project is complete. The work, however, isn't.
Measure the success of the project.
Remember that a successful project has a measurable and positive impact on the client's business objectives. Set a time period to measure the progress toward achieving those objectives, and plan to measure progress on a regular basis. If you find that there are adjustments that should be made, or additions that can improve the project's functionality, propose these changes in a Phase II estimate.
Maintain your relationship with the client.
By the completion of the project, you should have established a strong relationship with the client. You know his/her business and industry thoroughly and you have contributed a significant amount to the success of his/her company. The client views you as a resource, and the business relationship is sound. Now is the time to ask for referrals, recommendation letters, or testimonial quotes. It never hurts to ask, and you may find that your satisfied clients are your best source of business.
Be sure to check back periodically with the client, making sure that he/she is content with the performance of the project. As your services expand and your business evolves, keep the client updated. Maintaining your relationship with the client will provide you with a strong base of supporters as your own business proceeds.
"Now, that I can do," she said confidently. In that moment, she just knew that they would live happily ever after.

I have what I think is a simple question. I am in the middle of taking the OSWP course and have a question about authenticating against a WEP-encrypted network with SKA enabled. For reference:
$ap = my AP's MAC
$alfa = my MAC
$pc = another laptop I have connected to my AP's MAC
My goal is to fakeauth with my alfa card to my AP by using a PRGA .xor generated via a fragmentation attack. Yes I know there are other ways I can inject (e.g. spoof my other client's MAC as my own after deauthing the other client, etc and fakeauth as that source mac). I don't want to do that because in a real life scenario (i.e. a pentest) it could be noticed and a good attacker probably would try to avoid it. Anyway - that aside, I must be missing something stupid here:
First I monitor my AP via airpdump-ng with:
And see the output w/ no problem, my PC connected to it, etc. (I'm posting this from a different computer so I can't copy and paste the output right now and I don't think it's necessary for this cause I know it's correct).Code:airodump-ng -c 6 --bssid $ap -w wepviaclient wlan0
Then I fragment to generate the .xor file:
A .xor is generated.Code:aireplay-ng -5 -b $ap -h $alfa -l 255.255.255.255 -k 255.255.255.255 wlan0
Then I attempt to fakeauth:
And I get:Code:aireplay-ng -1 0 -a $ap -h $alfa -y fragment-0629-233133.xor wlan0
Over, and over, and over.Code:Sending Authentication Request (Shared Key) [ACK] Authentication 1/2 successful Sending encrypted challenge [ACK] Challenge failure
The one thing I don't quite understand are the -l and -k switches when generating the .xor (I assume this is just so the AP will pass the packet through but some clarification there might be the key). Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I feel like it's something very simple that I'm missing. In the mean time, turning off SKA or generating ARPs as an auth'd client works fine to increase IVs and I have already cracked the key several times. I don't know if this is really relevant to the course or not but I really want to know why this doesn't work.

Conventional Loans
A conventional loan is any kind of lender agreement that's
not backed in full by the Veterans Administration or protected by the
FHA (the Federal Housing Administration). All told, there are several
broad categories of conventional loans. Fixed-rate mortgages are
simpler in some cases. A home borrower "locks in" at an interest rate
and he or she pays down the principal and interest on the mortgage every
month at that rate. Adjustable-rate loans are also an option.
Other conventional loans include conforming loans. Basically,
these are arrangements that meet stipulations set forth by Fannie Mae
and or Freddie Mac, two very large mortgage trading companies.
Government Loans (FHA / VA)
Backed by the US Government, these loans are a great way to get into a

LONDON (Jun. 16)
Aneurin Bevan, Labor M. P. who recently toured Israel, today called for support of Israel's development as a "priceless contribution to progress" and to the settlement of problems in what he said might well be one of the most dangerous areas of the world.
Speaking at a luncheon of the Anglo-Israel Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Bevan called Israel a fully grown modern state comparable with any other in the world and one which–in the long view–was potentially viable. He called Israel credit-worthy and supported investment in the country. He also said that while Israel's economic progress had stirred up ferment in the Arab world, it had also shown the Arabs the possibilities for development in their own countries.
Mr. Bevan called on the Western Powers to make a strong effort to bring about Israel-Arab cooperation for all time. He called on Britain to support development schemes for the region and declared that "everybody who has the interests of Israel at heart knows that it cannot be a successful oasis in a desert of increasing poverty."
Israel exported to Britain more than twice as much as she bought from that country during the first four months of 1953, Barclays Bank Overseas Review reported today. It said that Israel imported from Britain goods worth 2,742, 719 pounds while it exported to Britain goods valued at 6,542,540 pounds.

NEW YORK (Apr. 14)
Warning to Jews in America not to send food packages to their relatives in the Reich and in Nazi-dominated countries is given in an article this week in Aufbau, organ of German-Jewish refugees, published in New York.
"The entire question of whether to send food packages to relatives in Germany can be properly understood only when one realize that the appeals for food relief are in most cases made by order of the Gestapo and under its dictation," the paper says.

Using Regression to Adjust "Adjusted Points" for Top Tier Players '68-12

I'll try my best to get this back on track..

I ran a linear regression for '80 to '12 using data that I already had, as follows:
Y = avg. adjusted scoring of top N players (N = # teams in NHL)
Xn = Number of teams in NHL
Xg = Avg. GPG in NHL
Xe = % of top N forwards who were born outside Canada (Canadian trained players from Europe, such as Heatley & Nolan were considered Canadian)
Xp = % of total goals recorded as special teams (PP & SH) goals
Using all 4 variables, the R-squared was 99.8% and the values for each X were as follows:
Xn= 1.05
Xg= 6.77
Xe= 16.4
Xp= 49.4
Using 3 variables (Xn excluded), the R-squared was 99.7% and the values of each X were as follows:
Xg= 7.83
Xe= 39.5
Xp= 92.8
Both appear to be very solid models for predicting the avg. adjusted scoring of the top N players each season. The average for the 32 seasons was 88.95 adj. points with a standard deviation of 3.59. With 4 variables, the predicted Y had a mean of 88.87 with the avg. absolute value of the error being 3.13, and 21/32 seasons had errors of < 1 stdev. With 3 variables, the predicted Y had a mean of 88.71 with the avg. absolute value of the error being 3.86, and 18/32 seasons had errors of < 1 stdev.
It's important to note that in both models there was a positive coefficient for Xg (league GPG), meaning that as league scoring decreased, the model predicted avg. adj. points of the top N players to decrease as well (by ~7-8 points per 1.0 point drop in league scoring).
For those who understand this type of study, I certainly welcome comments, suggestions and even follow-up studies which may expand, improve or verify the results. This is what I meant by identifying, analyzing and quantifying various factors that may affect the difficulty of top level players to score adjusted points in various seasons. It can be done, and I have taken a step in that direction. I look forward to others taking further steps forward, instead of steps backward using improper analysis and/or pure speculation.
You report coefficients on each regressor but it's hard to really make sense of the results without the t-statistics. Given the insignificant drop in R-squared when you drop Xn I would assume that 1.05 coefficient is insignificant but I'd like to see the others.
I don't think you can make a judgement on how solid those models are for predicting anything based on R-squared, as that Y series is probably fairly stable. If you regressed Y on a constant you'd get a pretty high R-squared too.
My main takeaway:
Y is adjusted to 6 GPG (HR method), right? If your regression used all the players in the league, by definition you'd get Xg=0, because that's what the adjustment does. You have Xg>0 for the top 5% of players, that means the top guys are further away from the mean in high-scoring seasons than in low-scoring seasons. The adjustment may not bring down the top guys enough in high scoring seasons.
Am I correct?
