Target: Commissioner for the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Daniel Esty
Goal: Stop the planned use of dangerous herbicide at Connecticut reservoir
As one of the most frequently used broad-spectrum herbicides, glyphosate is most commonly associated with the home-use product known as Roundup. Regardless of form glyphosate has proven extremely effective at killing unwanted vegetation, especially annual broadleaf weeds and grasses that compete with commercial crops. This product was introduced in the 1970s by a corporation rapidly gaining in infamy known as Monsato. It was touted by Monsato as a chemical that "more closely approximates to a perfect herbicide than any other." It also furthered the company's interest as it soon after introduced genetically modified crops designed to be resistant to glyphosate, a commercial conflict of interest that somehow slid past any real scrutiny.
Unfortunately, this product is not the near-perfect agricultural miracle that Monsato touts it to be. The combination of glyphosate salts in conjunction with frequently occurring additives such as surfactants (items that help the herbicide seep into the ground) work to increase the toxicity to a far greater level than would be any of these chemicals alone. It also has been known to impact the soil itself where sprayed, reacting to beneficial bacteria to create a poor-quality soil that denies plants of necessary nutrients. As a product utilized on crops this can simply be a commercial concern (as long as the nutrients are conveniently replaced by a Monsato-sold chemical fertilizer); however, in a natural ecosystem this has the potential to devastate.
The Lower Moodus Reservoir would be one such natural ecosystem that should not be subjected to such a potentially damaging herbicide. Despite this, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection has approved the use of glyphosate on this reservoir. This cannot be allowed to happen; the Lower Moodus Reservoir must not be polluted with toxic chemicals simply to attempt to impede weed growth.
Dear Commissioner Esty,
Chemical solutions always carry with them an inherent risk. Be they pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides, by using artificial chemicals in the process of removing some undesirable object from the environment, the potential for harm will always increase. Even chemicals marketed as extremely safe such as glyphosate carry with them the potential for harm.
Glyphosate, most commonly associated with the herbicide Roundup, is an herbicide that was first marketed in the 1970's by the Monsato Corporation. It was touted upon its release as a chemical that "more closely approximates to a perfect herbicide than any other" due to its effectiveness against broadleaf weeds and undesirable grasses. The desirability of this product was further increased by Monsato producing "roundup ready" strains of genetically modified seed to sell alongside its weed-killing agent. This has continued despite the product itself proving to deviate considerably from that "approximating-perfect" label.
The concerns regarding glyphosate are varied and numerous. Included among them is the increase in toxicity that occurs by combining glyphosate salts with other chemicals such as surfactants (items that break up the surface tension of the liquid so that the chemical better absorbs). These chemicals have proven far more harmful together than each has the capacity for individually. In addition, glyphosate has also shown to react with the soil itself where sprayed, killing beneficial bacteria to create a poor quality soil that denies plants of necessary nutrients.
These concerns should be enough to give pause to any consideration for the product's use. When used for agricultural purposes the soil is at least augmented with fertilizer, however when applied within a natural environment such as the Lower Moodus Reservoir there is no such means for replacing the stripped-away nutrients. If this chemical were to be sprayed along the reservoir, as is intended to occur later this month, it could cause irreparable harm to the reservoir and the surrounding ecosystem. It is for this reason that glyphosate cannot be used to remove unwanted vegetation from in and around the Lower Moodus Reservoir.

Oregon emergency care gets grade of D+
Oregon improved its ranking — from 47th place in 2009 to 32nd place in the nation — with a D+ in the 2014 American College of Emergency Physicians' state-by-state report card on America's emergency care environment. Progress in four out of five categories contributed to this improvement.
Oregon's best grade, an A- for Public Health and Injury Prevention, ranked it third in the country in this category. Oregon has low rates of traffic fatalities and strong traffic safety legislation. The state also supports motorcycle helmet laws, distracted driving laws and primary enforcement of adult seatbelt laws. Oregon has the lowest rate of childhood obesity in the country.
"Oregon's excellent grade for Public Health and Injury Prevention sets a standard for the other four categories,"said Dr. Melissa Johnson, president of the Oregon Chapter of ACEP. "Despite this improvement, we still need to improve the childhood immunization in our state, because our rate is plummeting. Also, our failing grade in Access to Emergency Care shows how much work we have to do. The best medicine in the world can't help you if you can't get to it in a timely manner."
The state's one failing grade in the Access to Emergency Medicine category reflects high rates of children who are under-insured. The state is also last in the nation for the number of staffed inpatient beds and has the fourth fewest psychiatric care beds in the country, a devastating decline from 2009. To improve its grade, Oregon must work to increase access to primary care and specialist care for children, and increase the availability of trauma centers, accredited chest pain centers and substance abuse treatment.
In the Quality and Patient Safety Environment category, Oregon earned a C+, reflecting a marked improvement in both grade and ranking from the 2009 Report Card. The state ranked among the best 10 in the nation with regard to hospital adoption of electronic medical records and has developed heart attack and stroke systems of care.
Oregon received a D for Medical Liability Environment because the state has so few liability reforms in place. Oregon could improve this grade by implementing additional liability protections for Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act-mandated emergency care.
Oregon's D- for Disaster Preparedness reflects the lack of a statewide patient-tracking system and extremely low bed surge capacity. Oregon's federal disaster preparedness funds are very low, at less than six dollars per person.
"Oregon must take immediate action to address access to emergency care, especially for our most vulnerable people," said Dr. Johnson. "The low rates of staffed inpatient beds and psychiatric care beds contribute to crowding in our ERs."
"America's Emergency Care Environment: A State-by-State Report Card – 2014" evaluates conditions under which emergency care is being delivered, not the quality of care provided by hospitals and emergency providers. It has 136 measures in five categories: access to emergency care (30 percent of the grade), quality and patient safety (20 percent), medical liability environment (20 percent), public health and injury prevention (15 percent) and disaster preparedness (15 percent). While America earned an overall mediocre grade of C- on the Report Card issued in 2009, this year the country received a near-failing grade of D+.
ACEP is the national medical specialty society representing emergency medicine. ACEP is committed to advancing emergency care through continuing education, research and public education. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, ACEP has 53 chapters representing each state, as well as Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. A Government Services Chapter represents emergency physicians employed by military branches and other government agencies.

BREAKING: Director Jay Roach has moved from CAA to WME, joining his agent Dan Aloni. This comes at a time when the Roach-helmed Game Change clocked in as HBO's highest-rated pic in eight years. Though not as high profile as Chris Nolan, Roach is a big get for WME and Aloni. He has been at the center of two huge franchises in Austin Powers and Meet The Parents. While known for comedy, he's always had a yen for politics, and before the Sarah Palin-2008 presidential campaign drama Game Change he helmed HBO's Recount, about the disputed presidential election results in Florida that decided the race between Al Gore and George W. Bush. Roach, who just helmed the political comedy The Campaign with Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis, has several irons in the fire, including a Peter Landesman-scripted adaptation of the memoir written by Deep Throat FBI man Mark Felt at Universal and Playtone. Mike Myers (who joined Aloni yesterday) is also working on another Austin Powers, and presumably Roach would be involved since he helmed the first three hits. Roach is still repped by Mosaic.
'Game Change' Helmer Jay Roach Joins WME
6 Comments
Wow. Game Change was great.
Clocked half the audience for the debut of TLC's Sarah Palin's Alaska (5.1 million). Heh. . .
One is subscription only…
Did you not read the actual article above that said it was HBO's highest rated film in 8 years?
One of the nicest guys in the business. Maybe THE nicest.
Awesome. Jay is the best. Great director and a great person.
Such a great sign!
Roach needs to reclaim the throne that was his only just a few short years ago.

"No, we always try to draft the best player available, and the best example I can give you is Reggie Wayne," Polian said. "We had a very big need for a cornerback that year, we could not agree on who that person should be. So we turned around, traded down, and took Reggie Wayne, who was the best player available at that pick. And it turned out to be the right thing.
"And it always is, you should take the best player. You might be wrong in the assessment of the player, but as long as you take the best player your odds of success are very much greater than they would be otherwise."
With that quote in mind, let's take a look at Polian's first-round draft picks while with the Colts:
- 1998
- Peyton Manning, QB
- No. 1 overall
- 1999
- Edgerrin James, RB
- No. 4 overall
- 2000
- Rob Morris, LB
- No. 28 overall
- 2001
- Reggie Wayne, WR
- No. 30 overall
- 2002
- Dwight Freeney, DE
- No. 11 overall
- 2003
- Dallas Clark, TE
- No. 24 overall
- 2005
- Marlin Jackson, CB
- No. 29 overall
- 2006
- Joseph Addai, RB
- No. 30 overall
- 2007
- Anthony Gonzalez, WR
- No. 32 overall
Clark was Polian's pick in 2003

It's difficult to say that Polian was "wrong" about any of these picks. Manning, obviously, holds every Colts passing record and is well on his way to holding most of the NFL passing records. James led the league in rushing for two seasons and is the franchise's all-time leading rusher, and No. 11 on the NFL's all-time rushing list.
Morris is perhaps the least distinguished player on this list, and he and James are the only players who aren't still with the Colts. While Morris never became a star, he was a starter for several seasons and played a key role in the playoffs on the way to the Super Bowl XLI title.
Wayne, who Polian used as an example, was a return to top draft form for Polian. The Miami product has turned into a top-flight receiver, leading the NFL in receiving yardage in 2007 and has been to three straight Pro Bowls.
Edgerrin James, taken fourth overall in 1999, is the franchise's all-time rushing leader

The pick that Polian traded away was the 22nd selection, which the New York Giants used to select Will Allen. The Colts netted a third-rounder and sixth-rounder and selected Cory Bird and Jason Doering, respectively.
James was injured in the 2001 season and the team struggled to a 6-10 record, which gave them the 11th pick in the draft. Once again, Polian hit a home run with the pick, selecting Dwight Freeney. Freeney has been to four Pro Bowls, has been an All-Pro three times, and is the franchise's all time sack leader.
The hits continued in 2003 with the selection of Dallas Clark. Clark has never been to a Pro Bowl, but he owns all of the team's seasonal tight end records and is on pace to break many of the team's career records.
In 2005, Polian decided on Marlin Jackson, who has turned into a solid starter before being sidelined by a knee injury last year. The next year, it was time to replace the departed James and the pick was Addai, who gained 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons and went to the Pro Bowl in 2007. Gonzalez, the choice in 2007, contributed as a rookie with 37 catches for 576 yards and three touchdowns, and upped those numbers to 57 catches for 664 yards and four TDs.
Taken as a group, this collection of Colts makes for a pretty impressive stable. Manning and James are both future Hall of Famers, and this group has been to 21 Pro Bowls and formed the core of the team that won Super Bowl XLI.
Polian hasn't done too poorly in the second round either, turning up players like Mike Peterson (1999), Marcus Washington (2000), Bob Sanders (2004), Kelvin Hayden (2005), Tim Jennings (2006), Tony Ugoh (2007) and Mike Pollak (2008).
So, Polian certainly deserves a tip of the hat for his drafting prowess. But were these players really the "best available" when the Colts took them? Subscribers, keep an eye out for Part Two, where we look at who the Colts could have had with their first round picks, and try to find some trends in Polian's draft strategy.

NEW YORK (Aug. 10)
The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations has assailed the Greek delegation to the United Nations for supporting the admission of the Palestine Liberation Organization to the UN Economic Commission for West Asia (ECWA).
Rabbi Alexander M. Schindler, chairman of the Conference, made public today a letter he had sent to George Papoulias, Greece's Ambassador to the UN, voicing "shock and dismay" at the vote of the Greek delegation to the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) last month in favor of full membership status for the PLO in ECWA. Greece was the only Western nation to vote in favor of the successful PLO bid for full membership status.
Noting that UN bodies were composed of member-states, Schindler wrote: "To grant the PLO the status of a state makes a mockery of international law and further undermines the credibility of United Nations procedures. At the same time, it subverts efforts aimed at bringing about a full and lasting peace in the Middle East." The decision of ECOSOC " can scarcely be seen as other than a profoundly illegal and immoral act." Schindler said.
The vote in ECOSOC to grant member-status to the PLO was 27-11. Twelve countries abstained. The United States voted against the PLO, along with Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom.

Last year on a visit to Clos Roche Blanche in the Touraine, proprietor Didier Barrouillet told me about his experiments with planting wild leeks in the vines as an agent against esca, one of the most serious vineyard diseases facing France at the moment. Esca is a fungal disease that attacks the woody portions of the vine—sometimes it will kill the vine slowly, taking several years, but in esca's most pernicious form the vine simply ceases production and dies within 12 months. Vines that are infected need to be uprooted and burned, and care must be taken to isolate them from contact with any other vines or vine material.
On another visit to Clos Roche Blanche this week, we talked about leeks some more. Up until now, sodium arsenite has been the only treatment against esca, but it's so toxic that it was actually banned in 2001 as a carcinogen, and anyway, the use of such a product would be completely against Didier's natural philosophies of viticulture. He cultivates a wide variety of plants in his vineyards, and among them are these little ramps, or wild leeks, that have traditionally grown in the area. "In the old days, everyone used to have leeks in their vineyards," says Didier. "You would find them anywhere vines were grown." These wild leeks put out an extensive network of micro-rhizomes, tiny tendrils that interact with the roots of the vines and exchange nutrients, and in addition, they appear to neutralize the three types of fungus that are responsible for esca, inhibiting their ability to spread. For the moment Didier is still cautious, noting that esca can retreat and attack again, and it takes time to observe the long-term effect of these leeks. "But so far," he says, "they seem to be working. As long as they don't get eaten by the hares, that is."
Esca is particularly a problem in the southwest of France, but it's spread around the rest of the country as well, and it's estimated that five percent of France's vineyards could currently be affected by the disease. Champagne is no exception, and it's becoming increasingly more common when walking around in the vineyards to see the occasional dead vine here and there. Last year, Nicolas Chiquet of Champagne Gaston Chiquet even showed me an entire block of vines in Hautvillers that needed to be pulled out and burned. I haven't yet seen anyone planting leeks, but as more and more Champenois are moving towards an increasingly diverse array of cover crops in their vineyards, maybe someone ought to give it a try. Historically, vineyards have been part of a complex system of polyculture, and it wasn't until after the Second World War that vines began to be grown in complete isolation from other plant and animal life. One wonders what has been lost in the process.

WASHINGTON (Sep. 11)
The president of the B'nai B'rith Women (BBW), Beverly Davis, has reacted to plans of the parent B'nai B'rith International (BBI) to open its membership to women with a blunt warning that "we will take all steps necessary to preserve our independence and our membership."
A resolution containing that proposal was adopted at the B'nai B'rith International convention last week. Davis said the 37 BBW delegates to the convention "came to the convention with a mandate given them by BBW leadership in 33 cities across the country, urging a firm stand in opposition to the resolution." She added that "we have fulfilled our mandate by making opposition clear."
In her statement, Davis said the BBW is "an independent Jewish women's organization, with its own program and priorities," which "has served and will continue to serve as a respected and important voice for Jewish women."
She asserted that when a woman joins BBW "she knows she will be adding her voice to those of 120,000 members to speak for issues of importance to her as a Jewish woman," adding that "it is only by joining a women's organization like BBW that a (Jewish) woman can be assured of having her concerns adequately addressed."
Davis had raised the issue in the June/July issue of Women's World, the official BBW publication, in her page one President's Column, in which she reported on the wording of the resolution she declared would be presented at the BBI convention in September.
According to Davis, the resolution read: "Commencing January 1, 1987, full and equal membership in B'nai B'rith shall be made available in accordance with a plan that shall be presented for approval at the next international convention of B'nai B'rith in 1986."
A resolution embodying that proposal was approved at the BBI convention last week but the B'nai B'rith has not yet officially released the resolution. A B'nai B'rith spokesman told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that it will be released as soon as the wording is checked out, possibly by the end of the week.
In her column, Davis asserted she had attended a May meeting of the BBI Board of Governors, as a BBW representative, and that BBI president Gerald Kraft had discussed the matter in terms which led her to believe that "the resolution could lead to the complete integration of B'nai B'rith and B'nai B'rith Women above the chapter, lodge and unit level."
She asserted that "the net effect" of such "integration" could be "the subordination of all that B'nai B'rith Women has struggled for and achieved through the years, and BBW's eventual elimination as an independent Jewish women's organization."
Kraft has denied that the proposal was intended to bring about the destruction of B'nai B'rith Women.

Can't come up with a single reason to recommend this leaden excuse for an eco-thriller, which one Damian Lee claims to have written and directed. Pitting corporate bad guys against saintly Third Worlders, A Dark Truth wears a bleeding heart on its sleeve, a designer appliqué of empty liberal platitudes. The story leapfrogs from person to person, place to place, trying desperately to weave wayward threads into a compelling pattern. And some awful plague of glum-and-grim afflicts the whole cast, most notably Andy Garcia and Forest Whitaker. Perhaps Lee believed long faces would lend weight to his Dark Truth. You know the movie's a badly oiled machine from the get-go: Lee cuts back and forth between South American villagers being massacred by machine gun and a Canadian talk show host (Garcia) sermonizing about the basic goodness of humankind. You may feel bludgeoned and/or distracted by these erratically juxtaposed realities. The heavy hand presses on: The talk show's called "The Truth" and the host's moniker is Jack Begosian—a tip of the fedora to Eric Bogosian of Talk Radio. This particular host is a former CIA agent, and so severe is his haircut, so penitential his delivery, the dude might as well be wearing sackcloth and ashes. At home, Jack's stone face cracks a little, to let in even more pain, as his wife whines about his emotional "absence," while his little boy—autistic? mentally challenged?—prefers staring at a clock to eating. Elsewhere, a fully clothed blonde (Deborah Kara Unger of Silent Hill) sinks lugubriously into her bathtub. What's got her down? Cut to a hospital ribbon-cutting ceremony, where a wild-eyed Ecuadoran dude blows his head off, splattering the bathtub lady's haute couture with unpleasant bodily fluids. Then cut to saintly campesino Francisco Francis (Whitaker) fleeing through the jungle, stopping only to beat a soldier to death with a rock. Back to the icy-blue environs of a Toronto corporate tower, where Bruce Swinton (Kim Coates, his Sons of Anarchy pervy machismo neutered) surveys the world at his feet. All that threatens his billion-dollar African deal to virtually control water-purification rights is a leak about all the Ecuadorans his company murdered after tainting their drinking water. Wouldn't you know that the woman trying to wash off blood and guilt in her bathtub is Bruce's sister Morgan, who up until now has been satisfied with the empty life of a much-married socialite. The stage, all over the map, is set….

Misha Collins of Supernatural isn't just an angel on TV
BURBANK, Calif. – TV's Misha Collins, a co-star of the CW's Supernatural, has developed an outsized fan base online, where enthusiasts not only follow him but support his causes in big ways. His 438,000 Twitter followers have raised nearly $500,000 to help rebuild Haiti following a major earthquake in January 2010.
We met Collins, who plays the angel Castiel on Supernatural— which was just renewed for next season — at the CW Network here. He's set to return June 14 to Haiti with 22 Twitter fans, who each raised at least $5,000 via the online fundraising site Crowdrise.com to come along. Collins and his fans will pull out hammers and nails and help build buildings. The first time, they built a dental clinic.
Tweets converted to a cause
"When the Haiti earthquake happened, I registered with UNICEF to set up an account, and posted to Twitter for people to donate to it. In a matter of a couple of hours, $30,000 had been donated. That, to me, was eye-opening."
Random acts of kindness
On TV shows that appeal to horror and sci-fi viewers, fans respond to the stars in such ways as offering to send photos of themselves posing in character, or crocheting outfits with their image. Collins decided to channel that energy for good, with his non-profit, therandomact.org. "There's this large group of people who are very creative and interactive, and finding ways for them to identify charitable leads and crowd-source solutions" is the game plan.
"Technology has changed the fan/actor interaction quite a bit. Now it's really easy to communicate with a large group of people in a really short time, and that … opens a lot of possibilities. You can do a lot of things with it that you couldn't do before. It's kind of fun to figure out how that can be employed."
His random acts
He posts videos on YouTube and Facebook, shot with his iPhone. Recent videos featured a burial for a tree that was burned in a Los Angeles fire and a cautionary tale about children talking to strangers.
Having to be available to fans online
" For the most part, people are pretty understanding that I'm busy doing other things like pretending to be an angel on a TV show, and there's a big wide berth of forgiveness."

Storey outlines shift in the US education policy
Published Aug. 23, 2010
Valerie Storey, associate professor in Lynn University's Ross College of Education and Ed.D. program director, recently presented a paper, "New Localism vs. Centralism: The New DEEL," intended to help raise awareness of The New DEEL (Democratic Ethical Educational Leadership) and outlined the shift in the USA education policy.
"There is a dilemma facing the field of educational leadership that pits a centralized, top-down control regime, modeled after corporations," says Storey. "It's up against the rise in New Localism."
According to Storey, "education in the United States is highly decentralized." Education reform has historically fallen under local and state jurisdictions, but now, federal policy and initiatives are becoming increasingly influential.
The Obama Administration is pushing educational reform with strategies such as competition, choice, deregulation and incentives. Most recently Obama's Race to the Top program has states making their second submissions to compete for tens, and even hundreds, of millions of dollars in grant money.
"Some states have changed laws to successfully meet Race to the Top criteria," said Storey. "After being unsuccessful in round one, Florida is seeking up to $700 million from round two and hopes to use the money to boost high school graduation rates, improve struggling schools and develop merit-pay plans for teachers based on student test scores."
Storey, a proponent of The New DEEL, says the New DEEL "represents a democratic grass-roots 'power to the people' movement believing in the notion that excellence in education is a function of the community of individuals it is part of. It's guided by the principle of 'what is best for the students.'"
Advocates of the New DEEL are looking to influence the education of principals, superintendents and teachers in the next generation by increasing the focus on democracy and ethics in leadership.
Storey presented this paper – co-authored by Malcolm Asadoorian, associate professor of education at Lynn – at British Educational Leadership, Management & Administration Society (BELMAS) Annual International Conference in July 2010. This year's conference topic was "New organizations, new leadership?"
More on Storey:
Storey began her career in education in England, where she led curriculum teams in individual high schools and school districts before coming to America and earning her Ph.D. at Vanderbilt University. She focuses her research on school improvement with a special emphasis on leadership and policy, both domestically and internationally. She has authored, co-authored and published numerous articles that center on leadership for learning and teaching in K-12 schools. She also studies the changing role of school leaders as the organizational context becomes more standardized but, at the same time, more complex and varied.
In 2008 Storey presented her paper, "Seeking Moral Equilibrium," that dealt with the "glaring omission" in U.S. education policy. An issue already identified by former U.S. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings regarding the "absence of moral literacy" in the country's national efforts to strengthen higher education.

Ways for Wildstar Stalker being a good DPS
In spite of the fact that all the six classes can be a DPS build, their competence are different. And as we can see from many forums and game chat channels , the stalker class is said to be an awful one as DPS for it almost has no damage potential. That's not true though. A stalker can also deal enormous damage if you are really proficient with it. Via some adjustment you are able to maximize your stalker damage potential.
First have a clear idea of the eight skills and make best use of them.
Shred: though it is not actually a DPS skill, it requires no suit power. Using it, you don't have to worry about your suit power; on the contrary, it allows to generate 2 suit power every 1s and at tier 4 and 8 it pierces 60% of an opponent's armor.
Impale: a lethal skill in most PvE environments. Use it at tier 8 to deal massive damage when stealthed or behind an enemy and it can pierce 30% of his armor. It costs little suit power but refunds 12 when a foe is killed by it. Better use it when a foe is almost dead.
Ruin: an instant damage skill that has a damage over time for 5s. At tier 8 it can disable the foes' shield for 6s. Good damage effect when the foe has less than 50% shield.
Punish: use it with the right gear and AMPs so that you can hit often and make use if it or it can only be used when you have landed a Critical Hit. It restores 30 suit power.
Stagger: great at stop foes from running away or interrupting them to continue hurting them for it destroys 1 Interrupt Armor, stuns five foes for 2.5s and deals physical damage to them.
Pounge: you will leap forward your opponent and snare them when landing, during which you can gain quick buff.
Tactical Retreat: mostly used for escape, especially when using Agile Skin at the same time.
Collapse: incredibly powerful from a team perspective. Amazing in PvP. It pulls the enemies towards you while destroying a n Interrupt Armor.
Then most of the tier points should be spent on Shred and Impale, the two skills in the assault tree. The remaining points are spend on Ruin, which can ensure your overloading your foes' shield. AMPs, too, should be mostly spent on the Assault and Hybrid A/S trees.

In the hemicycle the committee benches had disappeared; they had run parallel to the sections on the arc of a circle.
Then to the upper part of this second cord they apply on its lower side the broad part of a hemicycle.
The hemicycle became the apse; the gallery, a clerestory; the hall, a central nave.
Within this hemicycle lie the waters of Minas, bounded on the north by the horizon-line, the clouds and the sky.
Above the terrace of the recesses, rose that of the hemicycle.
hemicycle, hem′i-sī-kl, n. a semicircle, a room with seats so arranged.
Our host laughed back; then, with a serious air, Looked around him on our hemicycle, where He sat midway of it.
But let us step on to the hemicycle of the Belvedere, and view some works greater than any we have yet seen or even imagined.
In the hemicycle above are the Virgin and Child under a Byzantine canopy with angels and founders on either side.
But the hemicycle was not easy to make unless it were fairly small, and, if small, it was not very easy to read.

I UNDERSTAND the concerns raised by Lynn MacLachlan in her letter about the restricted access being proposed for roads around the Harnham schools (Postbag, May 15).
Juggling work with family is never going to be easy, especially if work is in Southampton and time is at a premium. I note that Mrs MacLachlan enjoys walking with her son on her day off so he is obviously at an age when he is capable of walking the distance. Would this be the right time to consider setting up a 'walking bus' from the Harvard Heights/Ridings Mead area?
It can be the solution for busy parents and works successfully in many places across the country.
Parents share the job of 'driver' and 'conductor', the children wear fluorescent jackets, full training is given and all leaders are CRB checked.
Wiltshire Council's road safety unit will give all the advice you need and the route to school from Harvard Heights is already an approved Walking Bus route.
Many parents are naturally reluctant to hand the responsibility over to others, but getting to know other parents in your area and building up trust and confidence can overcome this barrier.
It removes the stress for working parents and children enjoy walking with friends.
It can help solve the problems of congestion, air pollution and safety at the school gates.
Pam Rouquette, Harnham

Rev. Gregory Ng Kimm, PastorIf the name seems familiar, thats because Fr. Greg served at St. Josephs as deacon from 1986-87 and as parochial vicar (associate pastor) from 1989-1995. He returned as pastor of St. Joseph of Cupertino in July 2005. A native of Bakersfield, California, and the descendant of pioneer Chinese immigrants, he received a degree in English from The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, and studied for the priesthood at St. Patricks Seminary, Menlo Park, CA. In 1987 he became the fifth priest ordained for the Diocese of San José. As the first Chinese American pastor of St. Joseph of Cupertino, he is committed to recognizing and affirming the diversity of the Church.
Msgr. Joseph Milani, Pastor EmeritusMonsignor Milani was born in San Rafael, California, lived in Kentfield, and attended grade school in San Anselmo. He attended St. Joseph College Seminary, Los Altos, and St. Patricks Seminary, Menlo Park. Monsignor was ordained on June 16, 1950. He was associate pastor at five Bay Area parishes before serving as pastor of St. Catherine Church in Morgan Hill. As the first chancellor of the Diocese of San José (1981-1985), he was instrumental in guiding the formative years of the Diocese. He was named pastor of St Joseph of Cupertino in 1985. His outstanding work in the Diocese was recognized by Bishop McGrath in 2000, when he was elevated to the rank of Monsignor. [Top]
Rev. Athanasius Kikoba, Parochial Vicar
Rev. Athanasius Kikoba was born in 1973 in Uganda. Uganda is a Christian country in eastern Africa. About 42% of the people are Catholic and another 36% are Anglican. His father was a teacher and his mother a stay-at-home wife. Teachers are poorly paid in Uganda. Father Athanasius' family was very involved in the Catholic Church. That involvement and life circumstances strongly influenced his faith formation and desire to become a Catholic priest.
Father Athanasius was further influenced by a Catholic priest, Father Hans Smeets (pronounced Smits). Father Smeets worked very hard with the local people and was always helping poor people, handicapped children, orphans, etc. Other than his parents, Father Smeets was the most important person in young Father Athanasius' life.
Father Athanasius entered the seminary at age 16. After two years at St. James preparatory seminary and six years in the high school seminary, he went to St. Thomas Aquinas, a major national seminary in Katigondo, central Uganda with students from all 19 Ugandan dioceses. During his three years there, he studied logic and philosophy. It was an extremely demanding and rigorous program. Of the 34 students who started, only four finished the program and became priests. Father Athanasius received a diploma in religious studies and a bachelor's degree in philosophy from Makerere University, the most renowned in Uganda. In 2000, his bishop sent him to study theology at Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans. He completed his studies there and received a Master's degree in Divinity.
During summer breaks at the seminary in the U.S., he worked in parishes in Utica, New York and in a mental hospital. He did Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) and worked at St. Raymond's parish, which was destroyed by hurricane Katrina and closed. He was chaplain and spiritual director for cloistered Benedictine Sisters in Uganda and has presided at retreats, mostly for sisters in Uganda.
After completing all his studies, Father Athanasius was ordained a priest in Uganda on July 4, 2004. He is currently pursuing a master's degree in spirituality at Santa Clara University. [Top]
Rev. Don Morgan, Parochial Vicar
Rev. Morgan is the oldest of four children of the late William Henry and Mary Morgan. He was born April 6, 1947 in Montréal, Canada and attended St. Brendan Elementary School, Cardinal Newman High School, Assumption University of Windsor and the University of Toronto where he earned B.A. and B.Ed. degrees. Father Morgan has two sisters living in British Columbia and a brother who lives in Montréal. He also has family in Redwood City and Oakland.
His parish affiliations have included St. Brendan's (Montréal), Our Lady of the Assumption (Windsor, Ontario), St. Swithin's (Southsea, England), Holy Rosary (Toronto), Holy Family (San Jose) and Sacred Heart (Saratoga).
Father Morgan taught religion, history, and English for 30 years as a De La Salle Christian Brother in various Catholic Schools in Canada and the United Kingdom. As a teacher of religion he felt most happy when passing on the truths of the Catholic faith to others.
Father Morgan was always very involved in the liturgical life of the Church. "I feel very close to God whenever I have the opportunity to join with others in praising God at the Eucharist and the Liturgy of the Hours." He enjoys walking, sailing, history, architecture, and music.
Father Morgan began formal theological studies for the priesthood in 2002 at the Franciscan School of Theology at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. In 2004, after being accepted as a candidate for priesthood by the Diocese of San José, he continued his studies at Saint Patrick's Seminary at Menlo Park. He served as a deacon at Sacred Heart Parish in Saratoga in 2006. He was ordained priest by Bishop Patrick McGrath on May 26, 2007. His first assignment as a priest was at Saint Simon's in Los Altos. In 2009 he was appointed Pastor of Five Wounds Portuguese National Church in San José. [Top]

Tuolmne County Man Accused of Starting Last Year's Rim Fire
A Tuolumne County man has been charged for allegedly causing last summer's Rim Fire.
Keith Matthew Emerald, 32, is facing felony charges of timber set fire and making a false statement to a government agency, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. He is also facing misdemeanor charges of fires left unattended and not extinguished.
The Rim Fire started Aug. 17, 2013 and burned more than 400 square miles of forest in Stanislaus National Forest and Western Yosemite National Park.
Dozens of structures were lost and the fire was not fully extinguished until Oct. 24, 2013.
In December 2013, the Tuolumne County District Attorney's office said they believed a hunter had started an illegal campfire in the forest. The hunter was not named at that time.
Emerald has not been arrested, and no court date has been set at this time.
Check out the indictment filed below.

Dan the Man has what it takes. The best D.P. available. EZmount is an awesome product.

deer plus 1000's of birds, and small game animals even elk and sheep, with it with no problems. I feel it is the best pres. out there. Not sure what the differnce is but it works better than some others I have tried.

Rick Remender and John Romita Jr. Return Captain America to Pure Superheroics [Review]
For the past decade or so, it's almost been a necessity for Captain America to serve as a kind of barometer of the national mood. He fought terrorists in the Middle East, searched for weapons of mass destruction, dealt with angry protest groups, quelled election anxieties, and even surrendered and died when a political rift between heroes grew too wide. It's been a volatile period of American history, one in which keeping the country's superhero symbol grounded in some level of reality seemed right.
Maybe it's the fact that a lengthy election is finally behind us, or maybe it's just because Marvel hit the soft reset button with Marvel NOW! and wanted to do something different. Either way, Rick Remender and John Romita Jr.'s new Captain America #1 isn't a rumination of the state of American life. If it serves as a gauge of anything, it's the status of Captain America himself, as a character. And right now, he's a movie star.
[Warning: Spoilers after the cut]
For proof that this Captain America comic is a different sort than what we've seen in the recent past, look no further than the title: "Castaway in Dimension Z, Chapter One." That title wouldn't be amiss on a sci-fi movie or radio serial from the '40s. How exactly Cap gets to Dimension Z would fit in one of those serials pretty well, too. Specifically, an underground train he boards goes so fast that he blasts away through time and space. No further explanation needed.
Romita, who has a wide oeuvre but is often associated with street-level characters such as Spider-Man, Daredevil and Kick-Ass, does terrific work capturing the otherworldly feel of Dimension Z and its monstrous denizens. But he also brings a shift in tone to the Earth-bound parts of the book, too. Where artists such as Michael Lark and Steve Epting made convincing efforts to depict Cap's adventures realistically, even if he was fighting the most fantastical of supervillains like Arnim Zola, Romita's work here is distinctly more comic booky.
That may sound like a jab, but what I mean by that is that the reality is considerably heightened. When Captain America kicks a bad guy or jumps through a window, the impact is huge. You don't even need a sound effect. It's all there in the art.
In what might be the cleverest trick in this number-one comic, Remender and Romita offer up regular reminders of Captain America's origin story, particularly the movie's interpretation of his origin, without actually rehashing it.
Cap takes the yoke of a crashing plane not just one time, but twice. (Though the second one is only sort of a plane. It's more of a ship.) The book's climax is a really nicely played inversion of the experiment that granted Steve Rogers his powers: He's strapped onto an extra sciency gurney as a device extracts his super-soldiered blood rather than imbuing him with the formula. Remender makes several nods to Rogers' continuing struggles as a man out of time — the issue takes place on his 90th birthday, which is also the 4th of July — without flashing back to World War II even once. The World War II flashback has become as much a part of Cap's character as his shield in recent years, and as enjoyable as those were during Ed Brubaker's run on the title, it's fine to give them a rest for a bit.
This issue does have one flashback to Rogers' childhood at the very beginning, and it's a scene I unfortunately have to like this comic in spite of. It isn't that the scene has no narrative value. By the end of the comic, it's clear how Rogers' memories of how his father abused his mother have an impact on the situation in which he finds himself. Even so, this is a comic book that begins with a woman being punched repeatedly by her husband until she's bleeding heavily. Those opening few pages are the reason I hesitate to call this a fun comic.
It's a shame, too, because the rest of the issue really is a rollicking adventure. I've always thought Remender had some of the best throwaway ideas in comics, and he proves it yet again with the villain in an early fight scene, the environment-obsessed Green Skull who has a weapon called the Omega Fertilizer. That is just a genius idea. And the few pages of conversation between Cap and Sharon Carter are a delight.
Just like Mark Waid did with Daredevil in that soft reset last year, Remender's Cap retains his history as a character but isn't weighed down by baggage. Sharon Carter was the person who shot Steve Rogers "dead," after all. I loved that story when it was happening, but I'm just as glad to have a Captain America comic that, at least so far, is driven by a brisk forward momentum into pure superheroics.
Captain America #1 is on sale now inyour local comics store and digitally from comiXology.

Getting by with a little Helpmann
Page Tools
On monday night, the Mel Brooks musical The Producers moved out of the Lyric Theatre at Sydney's Star City Casino, and the 5th annual Helpmann Awards moved in.
The Helpmanns model themselves on Broadway's Tony Awards, but organisers know they can never emulate them. As host Simon Burke sang: "Let's try to do the Tonys on a budget of 10 bucks."
Over the years, the Helpmanns have had their share of criticism; for being too Sydney-centric, for being too complicated. Organisers are still making changes as they try to improve the awards, but one thing they should never change is the host. When it comes to singing and dancing through an awards ceremony, Burke, who has hosted all five Helpmanns, can give Tonys host Hugh Jackman a run for his money. Burke helped write all the songs he performed, most being parodies of better-known tunes (his introduction for presenter Peter Garrett to the tune of Midnight Oil's Beds are Burning was a highlight).
The night gained a sprinkling of international pizazz with the unmissable presence (amid a sea of generic starlets) of Cate Blanchett as a Best Actress winner (for Sydney Theatre Company's Hedda Gabler) and presenter.
Despite scoring 10 nominations - third-highest behind The Producers (12) and The Ring (11) - the Melbourne Theatre Company's Urinetown earned just one Helpmann, Matt Scott getting the gong for best lighting design (Nick Schlieper did not win it for The Ring as was mistakenly reported yesterday).
Another MTC production, The Sapphires, enjoyed a better strike rate, with two awards from three nominations; Best Play and Best New Australian Work. More good news for Sapphires writer Tony Briggs was the optioning of the play by independent production company RB Films for adaptation into a feature film.

Okay, burpees will always be a source of distress, but with our soft tiles, they will hurt just a little bit less.
Bright, colorful, fun, vibrant, versatile and cushiony - those are the words that come to mind when you think soft tiles. Soft foam tiles are insanely popular due to their versatility, being used for everything from kids' play areas to home gyms, basements and more. These babies are about as easy and affordable as flooring gets, but don't you worry, we don't skimp out on quality here. That's not our style. Our soft foam tiles are secretly pretty tough, and if you find one gets damaged? No problem-o, you just pop another one in its place. Ta-da! Soft foam tiles are truly the accessible flooring for everyone. So easy your toddler can put them together and gentle enough to accommodate little stumbles while your little one practices their cartwheel, or when you land flat on your face mid push up because OMG push ups are hard. Soft tiles are not.
With so many colors to choose from and a price point that can't be beat, soft foam tiles are one hot commodity!
Soft foam tiles are an excellent choice for first time gym flooring buyers. The soft foam tiles are perfect for lightweight exercises, yoga, stretching, core work, meditation and more. Now, if you're doing heavy Olympic weightlifting, the basic soft tiles are not for you (these HD soft tiles, however, are a great choice!), but they are perfect for the basic home gym, and especially great as a way to test the waters. Not sure if working out at home is right for you? Don't break your budget then live to regret it because you decided you love Jiu-Jitsui and now you never use your home gym. Save yourself the buyer's remorse and begin with affordable (and fashionable!) soft foam tiles as your gym flooring. Our best selling foam flooring options for home gyms are our Eco-Soft Tiles and Premium Soft Wood Tiles.
Foam flooring is the most common flooring option for martial arts studios and at home practice. Everything from traditional Martial Arts, Mixed Martial Arts, Tatami and more can be safely performed on our foam mats. These bad boys are thick, durable, shock absorbent (jump to your heart's content!), insulating (take that, winter!) and mold and mildew resistant. Choose a mat, or cover your entire floor with some of our interlocking options. Either way, this foam flooring will give you a place to hone your skills, or your martial arts studio a reliable floor you can trust. Our most popular soft tiles for Martial Arts are our Tatami Tiles and 1" (interlocking) MMA Mats.
What do you mean by a "hardcore workout"? Well, it means that 1. We find you impressive, and 2. These soft foam tiles can take the abuse of heavy weights and plyometric (jumping) movements. But seriously, these foam tiles are almost an oxymoron - soft AND strong? Yes, magic. Okay, not magic, just excellent manufacturing and a little bit of love. Our HD Soft Tiles are made from high density foam, making them durable to stand up to your heavy power cleans. In fact, they are so sturdy, you can even use them for horse stalls!
Soft foam flooring is perfect for kids of all ages. The soft, cushiony foam protects your little ones while they learn to walk, run, jump and play. Calm your worries of emergency room trips after falling on hard tile floor; now you can give your little one freedom to roam on a soft, safe surface. We all know that as we get older our bodies start to feel, well, older… Our joints hurt, our backs ache, and the idea of crawling around on a hard, cold floor is just too much to bear! Okay, maybe you're not quite that dramatic, but it's definitely not a desirable activity. Soft foam flooring gives you the opportunity to crawl around and enjoy active play with your kiddos on a soft, warm, insulated surface. All the fun without the aches and pains, foam flooring is definitely a win-win. Our customer favorite soft play tiles for play time include Rainbow Mats, Premium Soft Tiles and Eco-Soft+.
The words lightweight, easy to install and carpet are not typically seen put together, but that's all changing with our soft carpet tiles! The EVA foam layer underneath the carpet is what gives these carpet tiles their soft feel. Soft foam carpet tiles are a big hit for home gyms and trade shows. Waterproof, allergen and latex free, these soft tiles can meet all your needs without weighing you down!
Bring the fun of soft foam tiles out into the sun! We have plenty of soft foam flooring to help keep you safe by the pool. Don't worry about safety when you have soft floor tiles keeping slips to a minimum and saving your bodies when occasional spills happen. You don't have to be stuck with traditional deck flooring; with these soft tile flooring options, you can create a more unique, soft and fun theme to your outside area.
One of the biggest advantages of soft foam floor tiles and mats offer is the designs you can create with seemingly endless color options, unique patterns and more. Keep your soft flooring simple and classy with a faux wood look that keeps your floor both kid and style friendly, or use funky animal print tiles for a jungle theme. Neverending possibilities open up the box and let the fun in!
Our soft tiles come in a wide range of thickness options. Thicker tiles are, typically, more durable and dense. Be sure to check the thickness of your desired soft tile to make sure it is appropriate for your usage. Available thickness options are:
Remember when I told you that installation is so easy that your toddler can do it? Well, let me tell you, installing your soft tiles is going to be a project so fun and easy, you'll be able to pick up your foam flooring, move it around and install it again!
**Note: Soft tiles typically do not require glue or tape, as the weight of the tiles is usually enough to hold them in place. However, if you do experience movement and would like to ensure that the tiles do not slide at all, some double-sided tape or mat tape can be used around the perimeter of the installation to prevent any movement.
Guess what! All of our soft tiles come with free shipping! Most soft tile order are shipped through FedEx Ground. Some extremely heavy orders may ship via freight delivery. For more information on freight delivery, please contact one of our sales representatives to get the low down, as it varies on a case by case basis. Don't worry though you will not be asked to take your new tiles off the truck, we cover the cost of lift-gate and curbside. You are only responsible for getting the soft tiles inside your home and enjoying them!

1. Clean it up. Put away the stray objects, and get that room looking ready to impress to get the cleanest, most attractive shot of your floor.

pb10 is up, and the promised CD-ROM + floppy disk version is finally
available for downloading, so m0n0wall is no longer for net45xx users
only. :) Please see the homepage for detailed installation instructions.
It should work on all standard PCs with a BIOS that is recent enough to
correctly support the El Torito CD-ROM booting standard. No hard disk is
necessary, and the CD may even be removed after booting (although this is
not recommended).
Changes in pb10:
- 1:1 NAT support
Requires a static "primary" WAN IP address; theoretically it should work
with PPPoE/PPTP (but not DHCP) on WAN, too (I haven't been able to test
it, though), so DSL accounts that have a static routed subnet may be able
to use this feature (despite the warning). If that works for you, please
let me know.
- CF card (or floppy disk) is no longer remounted (for writing) with mount
-u ..., but instead completely unmounted and remounted again (as mount -ur
does not flush the cache properly and sync doesn't help either)
