MENLO PARK, CA--(Marketwired - August 08, 2013) - Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ: CORT), a pharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of severe metabolic and psychiatric disorders, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Second Quarter Financial Results
Recent Operational Highlights
"In the second quarter, we made substantial progress toward our goal of providing Korlym to every Cushing's syndrome patient who might benefit from it," said Joseph K. Belanoff, M.D., Corcept's Chief Executive Officer. "We believe our new specialty pharmacy will provide patients with careful attention and quality service. We're looking forward to working with IDIS to make Korlym available on a named-patient basis worldwide."
Financial Results
For the second quarter of 2013, we recognized net product revenue of $1.9 million after deducting a product return reserve of $300,000 incurred in connection with the company's transition to a new specialty pharmacy, as well as government rebates, chargebacks and other allowances. Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2013 was $23,000. Because we expensed product manufacturing costs incurred prior to FDA approval in February 2012, our cost of sales in the second quarter of 2013 consisted primarily of stability testing and distribution costs.
We reported a net loss of $11.9 million, or $0.12 per share, for the second quarter of 2013, compared to a net loss of $7.6 million, or $0.09 per share, for the same period in 2012.
The net loss for the second quarter of 2013 and the corresponding period in 2012 included significant non-cash stock-based compensation expenses of $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively. In addition, we recorded non-cash accreted interest expense related to our capped royalty financing transaction of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2013. After adjusting for these non-cash expenses, the company's net loss on a non-GAAP basis was $9.5 million, or $0.10 per share, for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $6.7 million, or $0.08 per share, for the same period in 2012. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP net loss is included below.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2013 were $12.7 million, compared to $8.5 million for the second quarter of 2012.
Our cash balance as of June 30, 2013 was $72.2 million, as compared to $93.0 million at December 31, 2012, and reflects approximately $20.8 million spent on operations during the first half of 2013.
Conference Call
Corcept will hold a conference call on August 8, 2013, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. Pacific Time) to discuss this announcement. To participate, dial 1-888-771-4371 in the United States or +1-847-585-4405 internationally approximately ten minutes before the start of the call. The pass code is 35403018.
A replay of the call will be available through August 22, 2013 at 1-888-843-7419 from the United States and +1-630-652-3042 internationally. The pass code is 35403018.
About Cushing's Syndrome
Endogenous Cushing's syndrome is caused by prolonged exposure of the body's tissues to high levels of the hormone cortisol and is generated by tumors that produce cortisol or ACTH. Cushing's syndrome is an orphan indication that most commonly affects adults aged 20 to 50. An estimated 10-15 of every one million people are newly diagnosed with this syndrome each year, resulting in over 3,000 new patients annually in the United States. An estimated 20,000 patients in the United States have Cushing's syndrome, approximately half of whom are cured by surgery. Symptoms vary, but most people have one or more of the following manifestations: high blood sugar, diabetes, high blood pressure, upper body obesity, rounded face, increased fat around the neck, thinning arms and legs, severe fatigue and weak muscles. Irritability, anxiety, cognitive disturbances and depression are also common. Cushing's syndrome can affect every organ system in the body and can be lethal if not treated effectively.
About Korlym®
Korlym competitively blocks the glucocorticoid receptor type II (GR-II), one of the two receptors to which cortisol normally binds, thereby inhibiting the effects of excess cortisol in Cushing's syndrome patients. In April 2012, Corcept made Korlym available as a once-daily oral treatment of hyperglycemia secondary to endogenous Cushing's syndrome in adult patients with glucose intolerance or diabetes mellitus type 2 who have failed surgery or are not candidates for surgery. Korlym was the first FDA-approved treatment for that illness and the FDA has designated it as an Orphan Drug for that indication. Orphan Drug designation is a special status designed to encourage the development of medicines for rare diseases and conditions. Because Korlym is an Orphan Drug, Corcept will have marketing exclusivity for the approved indication in the United States until February 2019.
About Psychotic Depression
Psychotic depression is a serious psychiatric disorder that affects approximately three million people annually in the United States. It is more prevalent than either schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder. The disorder is characterized by severe depression accompanied by delusions, hallucinations or both. People with psychotic depression are approximately 70 times more likely to commit suicide than the general population and often require lengthy and expensive hospital stays. There is no FDA-approved treatment for psychotic depression.
About Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated
Corcept is a pharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of severe metabolic and psychiatric disorders. Korlym, a first generation competitive GR-II antagonist, is the company's first FDA-approved medication. The company has a phase 3 trial underway for mifepristone for treatment of the psychotic features of psychotic depression and a portfolio of selective GR-II antagonists that competitively block the effects of cortisol but not progesterone. It owns extensive intellectual property covering the use of GR-II antagonists, including mifepristone, in the treatment of a wide variety of metabolic, psychiatric and other disorders. It also holds composition of matter patents for its selective GR-II antagonists.
Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement Corcept's financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP measures of net loss that exclude significant non-cash expenses related to stock-based compensation expense and the accretion of interest expense under our capped royalty financing transaction. We also use a non-GAAP measure of net revenue that adds back to GAAP net revenue expenses associated with our specialty pharmacy's elimination of its entire Korlym inventory through reduced purchases from us and the return of product it had not yet sold. We believe that these non-GAAP measures of net revenue and net loss help investors better evaluate the company's past financial performance and potential future results. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP accounting and investors should read them in conjunction with the company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures of net revenue and net loss we use may be different from, and not directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Shooting death prompts fury at self-defence law
In the United States there is mounting fury over the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin by a member of a neighbourhood watch group who claims it was in self defence.
TranscriptTONY JONES, PRESENTER: There's mounting public fury in the United States over the shooting death of a black teenager.
The parents of Trayvon Martin are calling for the gunman's arrest, but the boy's killer, a member of a neighbourhood crime watch in Florida, claims he killed the boy in self-defence.
At the heart of an angry debate over law enforcement is the so-called "stand your ground" law which gives people sweeping rights to use deadly force if they feel threatened.
Kerry Brewster reports.
KERRY BREWSTER, REPORTER: In the three weeks since the Miami teenager was killed, public protests have grown larger and louder. The latest saw New Yorkers come out in force for the so-called '"Million hoodies march".
Many Americans believe the only crime Trayvon Martin committed was to be a black kid walking home in his hoodie through a smart neighbourhood.
SYBRINA MARTIN, VICTIM'S MOTHER: Our son was not committing any crime.
PROTESTORS (in unison): No!
SYBRINA MARTIN: Our son is your son.
PROTESTORS (in unison): Yes!
SYBRINA MARTIN: I want you guys to stand up for justice and stand up for what's right.
KERRY BREWSTER: The popular 17-year-old high school student was shot dead in a gated community by a self-proclaimed soldier of a neighbourhood watch. 28 year-old George Zimmerman claims he killed the boy in self-defence after calling police to report a suspicious person.
Trayvon was carrying a box of lollies and a soft drink he'd just purchased. He was nearly home when he reportedly rang his girlfriend, worried he was being followed. Shortly afterwards, he was dead.
KERRY BREWSTER: Despite calls by his parents for George Zimmerman's arrest, police say there's no call to bring charges. That's because of a self-defence law introduced in Florida and 20 other states following vigorous lobbying by the National Rifle association.
Under it, a person doesn't have to retreat, but can stand his ground and protect himself if he feels in imminent danger.
Now that law is at the centre of an increasingly angry debate over how an unarmed teenager was killed and whether police have the authority to lay charges.
FLORIDA OFFICIAL: If there were mistakes made, we're going to handle that.
KERRY BREWSTER: The author of the law says it's being misused.
DENNIS BAXLEY, FLORIDA REPUBLICAN: This gentleman is on very thin ice claiming this as a defence when he's actively out there pursuing and confronting another individual.
KERRY BREWSTER: While social media campaigns challenge the justice system, rallies like this one increase the political pressure. The Justice Department has launched a probe into the police investigation while a recently convened Florida Grand Jury is considering whether there's enough evidence to file charges in this racially-charged case.

We called in here and were provided with a one night stay in a cabin. We were shown around the complex which at this time of year is very quiet. Facilities appeared to be good and was shown where to view the lake. Was told many English people stay here in summer. We found the cabin to be very comfortable. Was recommended to eat at the restaurant next door which we discovered was more a café/bar. Food was terrible and we don't recommend it. For breakfast we went to a nice little café further down the road which was clean and excellent food.

By Al Doyle for CoinWeek .......
He's one of those semi-familiar names who has accomplished as much or more in his field than others with greater notoriety. That's what happens when a person quietly and diligently goes about his business for more than half a century.
Author and researcher R.W. "Bob" Julian will be honored as the American Numismatic Association's (ANA) Numismatist of the Year during the upcoming ANA summer convention in Philadelphia. Julian's byline has been a regular sight in coin publications since the early 1960s, and he can do more than write magazine-length articles.
Medals of the United States Mint - The First Century is still regarded as a "must read" book 35 years after its 1977 publication by the Token and Medal Society (TAMS). It was the product of thorough research and an unwavering commitment to accuracy. In other words, a typical Julian effort.
"I spent 12 or 13 weeks at the National Archives in 1975 and 1976 doing research for the book," Julian said. "My first visit to the National Archives was in 1963. You soon learn that your hand wears out taking notes, so I started using a reel-to-reel tape recorder."
Like many who grew up in the 1950s, Julian's interest in coins was sparked by checking dates on Lincoln cents. The Logansport, Indiana native quickly moved on to a much different area of numismatics.
"There was a local coin dealer, and I would go to his shop," Julian recalls. "He had trouble identifying his foreign coins, so I did it. There was no pay involved, but I would receive five or 10 coins out of every lot for my work. The czarist Russian coins looked neat, so I started collecting them."
The interest in Russian coinage has never waned. Julian's term paper on Russian monetary reform in the 1800s caught the attention of a professor at Purdue University.
"The professor liked it so much that he recommended I try and get the paper published," Julian said. That led to a number of articles on Russian coins for the Numismatic Scrapbook and The Numismatist.
His hunger for knowledge and verifiable information was evident even at a young age. Julian corresponded with the Hermitage in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) in an effort to learn more about Russian coinage. That was an unusual move during the height of the Cold War era.
The Hermitage's staff numismatist offered to microfilm Russian-language numismatic books. The cost was $100, a significant sum at a time when a new car could be purchased for $2,000. Julian came up with the cash.
After decades of collecting, research, trips to Russia and an unpaid decade-long stint as editor of the Journal of Russian Numismatics, Julian has acquired a modest amount of familiarity with the language.
"I can read Russian slowly and catch snippets of conversation," he said. "It's all self taught." Speaking of teaching, Julian made his living as a math teacher in Logansport for 30 years and spent much of his free time in numismatic research and writing.
"Nobody gets rich writing articles, but I just enjoy finding new material and publishing it," he said. A good chunk of Julian's earnings as a coin writer were used to feed his quest for knowledge, and that led to a problem which required a creative solution.
"There's a little home I bought and fixed up to keep my library of 5,000 to 7,000 books," Julian said. The converted home also serves as his office. Although he doesn't keep track of the hours spent on writing and research, it's much more than a casual pastime for the retired teacher.
The depth of Julian's knowledge of the early decades of the U.S. Mint and its operations is obvious to all but the terminally clueless . He casually bring up names of 19th-century Mint directors in conversation and discusses steam-powered coin presses with an unfeigned understanding of the process. In his case, it's not a pretentious display of intelligence, but the natural product of a lifetime passion for the subject.
"It's true that I don't do a lot of self promoting," he said. "I just enjoy working in the background and doing research."
Even though he isn't a big name in the traditional sense, Julian is appreciated by those who admire solid numismatic writing, and that led to his nomination for Numismatist of the Year.
"Col. Joe Boling asked if I minded if he nominated me," Julian said. "You always figure your chances of winning are about five percent. In June, I got a letter from the ANA in June saying I was Numismatist of the Year."
What's next on the horizon? Julian is in the midst of a major project, as he is working on a book dealing with the history and operations of the Philadelphia Mint prior to 1837.
"It's a slow process," he admits. "I'm putting the documentation in digital form. You don't find everything in one or two letters. One note may have an interesting sentence, and you always find interesting things and snippets."
Those who are familiar with the precise and well-documented work of Bob Julian can expect more of the same in his upcoming opus on the early decades of the Mint.
"The idea is to be as accurate as possible," he declared. "You just do it right."

I'm not trying to be vain, but I am a very attractive woman and exceedingly intelligent. I don't go looking for weird guys, but I always seem to end up with the controlling, jealous, perverted type. I'm starting to believe that there is no such thing as a genuinely good guy. I have never hung out with a guy that didn't want everything the first time we hung out. I dress appropriately and I am not a promiscuous person. I have no clue what it is.
Most Helpful Guy
The thing is, sex and lust are extremely powerful and very underestimated. Seeing as how you are attractive, very attractive at that, you easily turn on guys. When guys look at girls, the first thing they look at will be your body, and how attractive it is. They start undressing you with their eyes, and sexing you in their heads, when they actually start conneting with you and are allowed to get closer, the lust takes even more of a hold on them getting progressively stronger till the point where they make a move, that's when you knock em down a couple notches if your not wanting that. Like I said, do not underestimate lust. And just to get this out, this is most guys and every guys at the same time, what I mean by this is that some guys gain power over lust but are still tempted, yet they have gained power over it thus having more control and respect. But this let's you easily see what they're about and wanting out of the relationship. If they're in it for the love and companionship then they won't be so focused on the sex alone.00|00|0


text: 000 FXUS63 KDMX 140426 AFDDMX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 1126 PM CDT Sun Aug 13 2017 .SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Monday/ Issued at 300 PM CDT Sun Aug 13 2017 Scattered showers have been moving through central Iowa today in response to a weak area of 700mb warm air advection, but these are currently pushing off into eastern Iowa. Farther upstream, early afternoon water vapor imagery shows a shortwave trough moving through the Dakotas. At the surface, low pressure is over eastern South Dakota with a warm front lifting into Iowa and a cold front lingering back over south central South Dakota and Nebraska. Clouds have been clearing in western Iowa, but overall instability is rather weak at this time. As the low pressure and cold front moves slowly eastward, will see increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms, mainly over northwestern part of central Iowa this evening and then spreading southeastward toward sunrise. Instability will be marginal so thunderstorms should be isolated. Otherwise, placed patchy fog over parts of the western forecast area with the most likely area being the Nishnabotna Valley. Forecast soundings show saturated boundary layer beneath an inversion with cross sections showing abundant low level relative humidity. Challenge to the fog development will be cloud cover and any rain, which may limit the fog extent. As the shortwave trough and associated forcing moves away and weak mid-level ridging begins to impinge on the area, this will stretch the boundary across the area. This will lessen the area of scattered showers and thunderstorms later in the morning and afternoon. CAMs and short term models show this with precipitation becoming more scattered and light. Overall, shear remains rather marginal and with the forcing mechanism moving away, severe threat seems quite low. With some breaks in the clouds expected over southeastern and south central Iowa, temperatures are poised for the middle if not upper 80s. .LONG TERM.../Monday night through Sunday/ Issued at 300 PM CDT Sun Aug 13 2017 At 500 mb, a weak ridge will approach from the west late Monday, while a broad trough digs slowly down across the Rockies and Pacific coast. Small impulses ejecting out of this trough will flatten the ridge as it crosses Iowa Monday night and Tuesday. At the surface this will be reflected by the development of a weak effective warm front somewhere around northern Iowa on Tuesday, and allow for a return of some relative heat and humidity during the day. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will also be possible, but nothing organized or severe is expected. Of greatest note will be dewpoints increasing toward 70 degrees, marking a return of muggy weather we have not seen so far in this uncharacteristically cool early August. Between Tuesday night and Friday night the aforementioned western U.S. trough will gradually shift east northeastward, with its associated vorticity coming in a series of shortwave troughs, the leading and most pronounced shortwave crossing Iowa on Wednesday. A swath of relatively deep atmospheric moisture will precede and accompany this feature, contributing to moderate instability which will combine with the modest forcing of the shortwave to produce fairly widespread showers and thunderstorms, progressing slowly across our forecast area from late Tuesday night into late Wednesday. This could potentially result in our most widespread rainfall in a while. Severe weather potential will be limited by thick clouds and a resulting lack of low-level instability, as well as the broad and unfocused nature of the forcing. However, given the slowly progressing nature of the parent system and expected convection, some areas may experience fairly heavy rainfall. We will be monitoring this in the early part of the week, however, given antecedent conditions it would take a lot of rain in the wrong place to result in any significant flooding concerns. From Wednesday night through Friday rain chances will linger, but with more subtle shortwaves aloft and less moisture and instability available, any precipitation would be spotty and light. Looking ahead to next weekend, it appears we will enter a more zonal flow regime aloft. This should allow for a slow moderation of temperatures and sporadic rain chances. && .AVIATION.../For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night/ Issued at 1126 PM CDT Sun Aug 13 2017 Have tried to fine tune timing for showers/possible thunderstorms at KMCW and KFOD overnight. Still possibility the line of storms may hold together into KALO and KDSM, but uncertainty is high and therefore have left dry for now. Otherwise winds to become more southwesterly into Monday. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Ansorge LONG TERM...Lee AVIATION...Beerends

Like the Star Wars franchise, Lord of the Rings keeps coming back with more games based on the film years later. Lord of the Rings: Conquest lets you take control of many playable characters and monsters from the series. This includes all the Hero characters including the enemy characters such as Sauron.
The game allows up to 16 players online and fours players can play offline through the campaign mode. There are two offline campaign modes in the game, one being the original story of the films and the second having a take on what would have happened if Sauron had won the battle and if Frodo didn't throw the ring into the lava!
Lord of the Rings Conquest is a straight forward hack and slash game developed by Pandemic Studios – they were the same developers who did Star Wars Battlefront, so if you have already played Star Wars Battlefront you will most likely know what Lord of the rings is all about. However this time instead of Jedis, Spaceships and lightsabers you have wizards, balrog and swords.
The game allows four types of characters to choose from, each with their own unique fighting styles and abilities:
- The Warrior character who is great in hand to hand combat and can string together combos that unleash flame attacks.
- The Mage character can create a defensive force field, magic attacks and heal friendly players.
- The Scout character is a faster fighter that can sneak up on people.
- The Archer can take down enemies from a distance.
You play through the epic battles, which really does feel like the battles from the film and every so often you will have the option to play as one of the films heroes. The game really emphasises the multiplayer as it is the top item on the menu screen and essentially this is the best part of the game.
The game's epic feel and mass is amazing as the game can allow 150 characters on screen at any one time with little slowdown. The detail to keeping everything like Peter Jackson's film is done very well and the soundtrack is straight from the film giving the player the best Lord of the Rings experience in a game.
The gameplay as a whole is very repetitive. The control and the combat simply do not have enough depth and while the animation of the combat looks good, you get a little tired of looking at the same actions over and over again. When you attack enemies it doesn't feel like much is happening while other similar games such as Dynasty Warriors really does give the player a feeling of power unleashing satisfying kills.
In conclusion Lord of the Rings: Conquest should still appeal to Lord of the Rings fans as the licensing of the game has been used very well and the overall presentation is brilliant. Hardcore gamers should probably give this one a miss as there is simply just not enough depth for a game that could have been so much better.

Re: Christophe Rochus wants doping to be made legal

No one involved in sport has an interest in revealing doping cases. And call me a pessimist, but I'm pretty sure this will never change. So, everyone says that it's "obvious" that legalizing doping is unacceptable, but I really don't see how pretending to struggle against doping is any better. What happens is that from time to time, one or two scapegoats are thrown to the dogs, in order to make the public believe that anti-doping is really working, while actually it's only a way to make sure that the others can continue in peace.
I have always had the feeling that Argentine players had been made scapegoats, possibly because their country is not as powerful as most... but I may be wrong on that, it's all speculation (but then again... my long-established belief that Armstrong and his whole team were the kings of doping was also speculation - at the time).
But who really believes this is a realistic definition of sport? Not of high level sport, it isn't. It's no secret that practising a sport at a high level is bad for your health, not good.
Sport is good for you when practised moderately. When it is practised intensively, it's not good, with or without doping.
People often act as if it's easy to decide when doping starts and when it stops. Sure, there are the rules, you can claim it starts when a practise is forbidden... But in more general terms, sportsmen all take stuff to improve their performances, vitamins, etc... When does it stop being "preparation" to start being "doping"? When they use special tents to create the confitions of high altitude, is that just a fair "preparation" practice, or is it already doping?
Of course, I know, it sounds outrageous to say that doping should be legalized. People are going to say that this amounts to saying athletes can damage their bodies as much as they want, etc...
But truly, we already know high level sport is bad. It's the same for anything that is taken to an extreme level. You could also claim that ballet should be forbidden, because ballet dancers often torture their bodies, the aesthetics of ballet encourage all sorts of eating disorders, and I've often heard doctors say that the body of a professional ballet dancer can be really traumatised and destroyed when he/she reaches the age of 30 or 40.
Marathon runners destroy their knees. Not even marathon runners only, I've read recently that Ferrer had stopped running and taken up cycling instead, because his knees were damaged by too much long-distance running. And I don't think I even need to mention Nadal's knees.
And the biggest problem with that counter-argument anyway (that it's irresponsible to advocate the legalization of doping because of the threat to the athlete's health), is that it assumes that doping is not already general. If you believe, as I do, that it is widespread anyway, in spite of the "controls"... then there would be no difference. If people are already doping, the only difference you make by making it legal is that you end the hypocrisy.
Now, if someone can come up with a system of controls that would actually work, sure, it would be better. But I don't see how this could be possible. "Independent bodies" are not really something I believe in. High level sports are a microcosm, and a "body" can remain "independent" only for so long when there's big business and a lot of power involved.
Maybe a strong system of checks and balances can be built in the future. That would require a complete restructuring of everything, probably. For now... I just wish they would end the hypocrisy. But given what usually happens to people who do try, I can understand why most people prefer to stay silent and save their careers. Maybe they would need a kind of giant "truth commission" for doping?...
tl;dr version: I was right about cycling like everyone else was, so I am right about tennis and no-one else is. If an athlete takes vitamins then they probably use PEDs. No such thing as independent organisations, may as well make doping legal.

Digging Into The Narrative With The Dig RPG
One open review call on G+, and my email is completely under siege with storyteller RPGs. Leave it to those designers to never miss an opportunity to change the narrative Eh? All kidding aside, many of these indie products will be featured in the next couple of reviews, and Im really looking forward to it.
Gaming At The Kids' Table With Hero Kids
Here at

Unveiling The Cainite Heresy
Published by White Wolf in 1999 as part of its line of supplements for
Vampire: the Dark Ages
, the 94-page
Cainite Heresy
provides details on a heretical sect within the vampiric world. Part of the apocalyptic "Year of the Reckoning" line of World of Darkness products that traded on real-world millennialist fears, this book is clearly marked on the cover as "For Adults Only" and was published under White Wolf's "mature content" imprint,
Black Dog Studios
. As the disclaimer quoted above indicates, this book earns this moniker, both in concept and execution. (As is usual for
Black Dog
publications, there's more than a bit of nudity scattered throughout the illustrations.)

Play A Game Of Gods With Sertorius By Bedrock Games
There is no shortage of fantasy RPGs. While
one look at the market
proves a severe drop after D&D 5
Edition & Pathfinder, it never ceases to amaze how many smaller companies are churning out interesting (non-D&D, fantasy) products on a yearly basis. Lets take a look at one.
is a fantasy and high magic RPG, by indie veteran
Bedrock Games
. Players will likely create Sertori, inheritors of an ancient and deceased ogre deitys spirit. Sertori wield powerful emotionally driven magic, which if incanted foolishly cause the character to be overwhelmed with primal energy. If abused, the effect potentially leads to madness, physical affliction, and eventual (unwanted) transformation to an entity/creature known as the Grim. In the words of Sir John Dalberg: absolute power corrupts absolutely
RPG Crate Unboxing: Mythoard #29
For a while there, it felt like Mythoard was slipping into obscurity, but with this installment they came roaring back with what they call a "double crate." This video is also where I rant about making it clear in the packaging what RPG is for what system -- it's like trying to unlock a puzzle every time I read through one of these books.
After The Apocalypse With Mutant Year Zero

(MY0) is a hardcover 272 page full color post-apocalyptic RPG by Swedish Fria Ligan (Free League). Awarded with a

Get Your Space Battle On With The Bulldogs! Role-Playing Game
It shouldn't be much of a shock to people that I am more of a fan of science fiction than fantasy. And probably because of the fact that my tastes have always been more defined by my reading comics than the classics of the genre, I don't sweat about the science in my science fiction. Laser swords. Explosions in space. Kidnapped space royalty. Robots. Space battles. I can't get enough of that stuff. My ideals for science fiction tend towards
Metal Hurlant
(I like the original French name of the magazine better because it causes less confusion with the music genre),
The Incal
Valerian and Laureline
Judge Dredd
than Asimov and Clarke. In this vein, I decided to talk about the
science fiction role-playing game from
Galileo Games
, and using the
Fate Core
rules, today.
Gaming At The Kids Table With Little Wizards
Here at
EN World
, Im continuing to look at all-ages tabletop role-playing games, board games, and card games. Do they engage the players at the kids' gaming table? Would they cut it at the adults' table? Are they genuinely fun for every age?
Little Wizards
is the English version of
Contes Ensorcelés
, which is based on
P'tites sorcières
Antoine Bauza
created the French originals while
Amanda Valentine
is responsible for co-translations and some modifications to Antoines work. Without a command of French to verify,
Little Wizards
is akin to the third edition of this game. Targeting ages 6 to 10, the game puts each player into two roles: a lil' mage and a familiar. For $14.95 PDF or $24.95 print, the 128-page rulebook covers character creation, game mechanics, magic, GMing for a young audience, and three adventures.
Talislanta: Fantasy Role-Playing Without All Those Elves
is a fantasy role-playing game created by Stephen Sechi.
Talislanta: The Savage Land
is a recent kickstarter that takes place right after the disaster that in the original rules took place centuries in the past. Stewart Wieck was the sponsor and publisher of this newest version. The game will be full color and available in five games systems: the original rules, D&D 5E, Pathfinder, Savage Worlds, and Open D6. Mr. Wieck worked hard to bring visionary RPGs to gamers everywhere and he will be missed. I am sorry for his familys loss.
Mindjammer Takes Traveller To Transhuman Heights
I don't think that I am stepping out onto a particularly fragile limb when I say that
is one of the best original science fiction settings to be created in the contemporary era. It also isn't much of a risk to that that the setting, and the games attached to it, isn't as well known as it could be. We're facing a resurgence in science fiction, and science fantasy, gaming right now, and
should be a game that you check out as you are looking for things to scratch that science fiction itch.
Explore A Strange World Without Death In Tales From The Loop
Most RPGs are designed around slipping into the shoes of someone exceptional, but in
Tales From the Loop
the heroes are a bunch of teenagers whose powers are limited to baseball, punk rock and half-remembered DOS prompts. Perhaps thats what makes it one of the most fascinating games to be released in a long time? Produced by Swedens
Free League Publishing
Tales From the Loop
was spawned from two interwoven strands of inspiration. The first is a series of paintings by Simon Stålenhag showing an imaginary town based around a powerful and mysterious particle accelerator known as 'The Loop.'
May 2017 Mythoard RPG Crate Review
This video is my unboxing of the May 2017 Mythoard RPG crate. Mythoard 28 is a much-improved collection of RPG accessories over previous installments. It's clear that the Mythoard gang has gotten the message that subscribers want more accessories and less books, and that change is evident in the latest Mythoard.

role-playing game is probably the longest running satirical role-playing game available in print. A recent successful
project funded the new edition hitting the shelves currently. The game is published by
Mongoose Publishing
and project managed by seminal designer James Wallis. What should make a lot of people happy is that the game is a compact, streamlined take on the classic game that comes in a boxed set that includes the game and dice. Probably my favorite bit of the new game is that the character "sheets" that you can get for the game are in fact dry erase mini-boards, in keeping with the lethality of the game.

Serenity Games
, running a

These Ninjas Aren't Hiding: Looking At Ninja Crusade Second Edition
While most of us are more versed in the popularity of Manga, rather than Chinese or Japanese history the mash of these elements in
Ninja Crusade Second Edition

century (Feudal) Japanese, histories. One caveat: Samurai dont exist.

|968 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|1 - 7 nights
This air conditioned villa is very modern and clean, and situated on its own private grounds, with a front landscaped garden and rear lawn garden. It has 2 twin bedrooms and 1 king-size bedroom, open plan kitchen-dinner- living room, 1 bathroom/shower . Ideal for families with children. There is a verander and purpose built BBQ - ideal for Alfresco. Our private pool is one of the largest in the area, it is a swimming pool (NOT a paddling or dipping pool). Our full terms are on www.spain-holiday-villas.com
I'm Mike, a medical practitioner in integrated and complementary medicine. I work in private practice as well as at a Children Hospital.
I was drawn to this area because it was not a mass tourist area, and it has a much greener landscape than southern Spain.
Whilst at the villa, I just can't get enough of cooking outside and eating outside and of course a bit Vino outside.
I had the villa when it was first built and have enjoyed it with my children. They are now grown up. We have had many happy clients/families staying at the villa. I hope you will too!
Mike purchased this villa in 2000
This villa is on an unusual large plot in the urbanisation -you will get a sense peace and privacy. The pool is a proper size 11m x 6m, unlike a lot of the other villas with a paddling size pool.
I love it here, and wish I could live there, but reality is its a nice getaway dream. One that all my clients feel the same.
The villa is surrounded by fruit trees or shrubs - grapes, plums, apricots, which our clients love to pick for breakfast. You will feel very safe and secure at the villa - safes in each bedroom. The driveway can take up to 4 four cars. Satellite TV. 10 mins walk to nearest bar/restaurant which have free WiFi.
Our family had a great time at your villa, it was clean and and spacious, and we loved the pool.
I felt I simply had to write to say a big thank you to Mike,the owner of this beautiful villa for providing us with everything to make for a wonderful and relaxing holiday.We stayed with our two teenage sons and husband and were blessed with glorious weather so the large pool surrounded by lovey well kept garden with trees and shrubs, got plenty of use and felt very private set in a green and lush residential area
The town of L' Ametila de Mar is very close to the villa,about a 5 to 10 min drive with beautiful cafes and restaurants and all the shopping you would need with a large supermarket that is reasonably priced and only £1 for a very palatable red wine to accompany our meals cooked on the large al fresco barbeque.All fuel was provided for our convenience.
We holidayed in this region of Spain due to its beautiful and green surroundings, lovely beaches and its close location to Salou, which is a fabulous place to visit.The villa itself is without doubt the nicest we have stayed in , tastefully and comfortably furnished with everything you need for a home from home feel.
We are looking forward to our next visit in September with our friends celebrating our wedding anniversary.We cannot wait.Thanks again for a memorable stay.
Mike was amazingly helpful – we booked with someone else's villa, and when we got there, I wasn't happy at all with the standard of that villa. This was our first day of our holiday. We looked up the internet and found Mike's villa WAK. He managed to get us in his villa the same day. My family were so delighted with his villa, clean, well equipped and the beds have proper firm-comfortable mattresses. My children Ben and Hannah loved the pool, it's twice the size of the other pool – you can swim in it and not a dipping pool.
My little Hannah didn't want to leave, she was in tears when we had to go. Even my slightly overweight husband was happy with the villa (and he's not easily pleased). So, without a doubt, we will be back, and so will our friends.
Thanks again Mike we will appreciate all your fantastic help.
The description of the villa and location was accurate. Villa was very clean and the owner was very helpful with his instructions. I would highly recommend this villa and holiday around this area - nice private pool and surroundings. Plenty of fresh fish in the local supermarket, and love the coffee at the Cafes. My children had so much fun in this pool and beautiful beaches nearby too. Certainly will come back again!
We had a very nice time at this villa. It was clean, well equipped and the pool was absolutely fabulous. We have stayed in this area for our last holiday, but we are so please with this one. Our children love going to the Port Aventura theme park, which is only a short drive away. Mike is great and very helpful.
I found this villa to be great value for money! The booking was easy and straight forward and we arrived to manuals and guides for everything in the villa. It was immaculately clean on arrival and the living room, three bedrooms and kitchen were all furnished and spacious. The bedrooms all had clean bedding ready (including mosquito nets which we found great!) and were light and airy in the day and the shut down blinds meant we could have a lie in without the sun waking us up when we wanted. The bathroom, again, was clean on arrival and in very good condition. The kitchen had all you would need for a stay including pots, pans, a nice clean working oven (jobs and oven) and a big fridge and freezer. The terrace area outside was just lovely and we spent many of our nights there having our dinner as well as lunches by the pool. It has a built in BBQ area, a large chlorine kept pool (which the kids loved!) and it was adjacent to the kitchen which made food preparation and all fresco dining ideal. The garden area was well kept and sun loungers were provided.
Apart from the villa itself being lovely, the location was a plus too! Just 5 mins away from the local shops and amenities it was ideal! The local town had lovely cafes shops and traditional eateries. It was a 20 mins drive from Barcelona Reus airport and 30mins drive from the bustling party town of Salou - it meant we were close enough to where everything was happening but still able to enjoy time as a family. As well as this, Barcelona city is just a two hours drive away & we found the drive down the Spanish coast lovely passing the old traditional town of Tarragona on the way to name just one. The villa was the highlight of my trip and I was amazed at just how much room and quality I got for my money. I would highly recommend booking to my friends & family & am planning my next stay here already!
I had a great Stay at the Villa at the end of last summer, it is in a perfect location to get to the local towns such as Salou where you can find restaurants and bars also beaches which are beautiful. The house itself is very clean and tidy, it has all the Facilities you would expect and is a great home away from home! The kitchen is well equipped so we were able to cook many meals at home, we also used the bbq in the patio area with ease. We visited a couple of the local towns and ate wonderful seafood in a fishing port, we also did the drive to Barcelona which is only two hours via the scenic route, we took a tour of the city and it was stunning. Mike was very helpful and always a Email away although we had no issues while we were out there it was good to know he was there if we needed him. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and I will definitely be back.

Dream Girls
January 30, 2011 by Post Team
Dream Girls, Hollywood is generally impervious to embarrassment, but maybe one of those moments when the signal that the industry should engage in a little introspection on the image he projected to the outside world. At the time of the Oscar, the projector is on show business, which in a country increasingly proving to be a multicultural company that is as white on the outside as it is inside.
Latino and black actors can get parts as soldiers in an action movie or comic sidekicks in a comedy, but when it comes to the nature of dramatic roles that attract Oscar attention, they need a helping Luckily, as one Mo'Nique got to have a black filmmaker making the right choice of casting. Or that of Jennifer Hudson won with her role in "Dreamgirls" imposed on the scene. Or that Morgan Freeman won, landing an Oscar nomination last year by Nelson Mandela in "Invictus," because he has a long experience of working with Clint Eastwood.
What does this have to do with the Oscars? Films that end up being nominated for Oscars are usually works of love and are rarely the kind of action hero easily accessible or widely comic characters that respond to a studio on the sensitivity of baseline. If you do not have a person of color in the room where the decision goes, fervently arguing why a film should be introduced into the world, it is extremely difficult for a project revolving around characters Afro- U.S. to emerge with a green light or any substantial financial support.
For a change of pace, in Dreamgirls, Bill Condon's novel in 2006-a-key musical starring Jamie Foxx, Beyoncé Knowles and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson, shown tonight in all its glory of three hours. (ABC, 8 ET / PT.
There are moments of genuine emotional majesty in Jeremiah Johnson, a relatively little-known 1972 American western directed by relative unknown and Sydney Pollack and starring a young Robert Redford.
Redford plays the title character, a veteran tired of the war 1846-'48 Mexican-American who seeks refuge and solace in becoming a recluse in the Rocky Mountains remain as a trapper and guide for the occasional rental in the snow in the mountains smothered password.
First, Jeremiah Johnson today may seem old and worn: He played in theaters at a time when the West had a difficult time. Classic westerns of John Ford and John Wayne were a distant memory, replaced by the more cynical, stylish westerns of Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood.
Jeremiah Johnson was written by John Milius and Edward Anhalt by Raymond Thorp and Robert Bunker historical biography Crow Killer: The Saga of Liver-Eating Johnson, the 1840 real-life mountain man "Liver Eating Johnson."
The story is both traditional – the theme is good, old American independence in the face of physical suffering and danger – and forward-thinking: Jeremiah Johnson was one of the first of a new wave of movie Westerns to represent In crude terms and painfully realistic, tension between the difficult early settlers of the western United States and the Crow and indigenous tribes of the Blackfoot in the region.

Your Love Is Like The Blood Running In M...
Every time the blood drips from my fingertips the smile can finally spread to me Every time the blood runs down across my eye I can finally see you for
One Night
Even the one night when you were so close and yet i missed you even though you were so close yet even still i mised you all the same and we sleep apart Even the one night when you were so close that so little seperated
Dark Blue By Jack Mannequinn
I have, I have you breathing down my neck, breathing down my neck I don't, don't know what you could possibly expect under this condition so I'll wait, I'll wait for the ambulance to come, ambulance to come Pick us up off the floor what did you possibily expect under this condition so
Running On Knives
gotta run gotta go can't stay while you run away i know you never stay but still i'll chase you
Needing To Get Rid Of All The Reminders
You left me here without any blood. You took all the oxygen away from my lungs and left, but here I still lay going through the colors.
Time Without You
For you just to have you in me arms just for one last second You could have all my blood it doesn't matter not without you For you just to feel your touch even if i can't hold you even once
You the rose whose blossum has yet to come Yet still you could not blossum from the hate of your past But still you easily outshine even the most beautiful rose But even so the people don't care they will always run after
I Still Miss You
it was a mutual agreement to leave the other in a heartful misery upon each good bye and the crossing of lives to pass again in sometime to see the mistake again
To Keep The Tears From Falling
the misery of breathing the air all the while she is invading ones thoughts to say and to commit one heart, body, and soul towards only one would be so merry
Taken My Wings
since you were gone all these days and the people just to tempting to do the things i did the knives still so sharp and taunting wanting me to play
Pain That Still Remembers
let me stay here in the darkness of the world just to dissappear let the scars remind me that i still live without you
For You
for you i'll take up arms for you i've changed for you i'll take up swordand bow against the firearms of today for you i fall into darkness
Someone New
only your eyes allow me to melt and flow like the ocean waves
For The Time You Leave
just to have you in my arms just for one last second you could have all my blood it doesn't matter not without you just to feel your touch even if i can't hold you even once

Brown: Additional Funding Must Be Provided To DOE Environmental Management Program
Today, U.S. Senators Sherrod Brown (D-H), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), Larry Craig (R-ID), Bob Corker (R-TN), Lamar Alexander (R-TN), and Gordon Smith (R-OR) sent a joint letter to the Senate Budget Committee Chairman, Kent Conrad (D-ND) and Ranking Member Judd Gregg (R-NH) to address additional funding needs for the Department of Energy's Environmental Management (EM) program. The EM program was created in 1989 to safely manage the cleanup of nuclear weapons production sites, and focuses on completing clean up of these sites efficiently and effectively.
In 2003, the Bush Administration, the Department of Energy (DOE), and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) agreed to increase the EM program's budget to accelerate cleanup activities, and used funds to close several sites including: Rocky Flats in Colorado and the Portsmouth and Fernald sites both in Ohio. As these sites closed, funds were supposed to become available and distributed among larger sites, with long-term cleanup challenges, such as Hanford. However, Portsmouth's official cleanup has yet to begin.
"The funding shortfalls at the Piketon site this year are reflective of what is happening around the country. Our communities are all in this together. I look forward to working with the Senate as we continue the clean up at Piketon, Mound, and the entire DOE nationwide complex," Brown said.
"For years the Administration has talked about accelerated cleanup of waste at nuclear sites. Once again, their budget request doesn't reflect the reality on the ground. Cleaning up these sites is about our national security and the safety and security of our communities," said Cantwell, a member of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
Despite successful closures of the Rocky Flats in Colorado and the Fernald site, including Hanford in Idaho, Idaho National Laboratory, Oak Ridge in Tennessee and Savannah River in South Carolina have not received the rolled over budget dollars they were promised and were cut out of the program altogether. According to the DOE, in 2001, the EM program had a budget of $6.1 billion. The budget peaked in 2005 to $7.3 billion. For 2009, the program is proposed to be cut nearly $2 billion from its 2006 levels from $7.3 billion to $5.5 billion.
[The text of the letter follows below]
February 27, 2008
The Honorable Kent Conrad The Honorable Judd Gregg
Chairman Ranking Member
Senate Budget Committee Senate Budget Committee
624 Dirksen Senate Office Building 624 Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington., D.C. 120510 Washington., D.C. 120510
Dear Chairman Conrad and Ranking Member Gregg:
We are writing to respectfully request that, as part of the fiscal year 2009 Budget Resolution, additional funding be provided for the Department of Energy's Environmental Management Program.
The Department of Energy (DOE) has clearly stated it has a strategic responsibility to protect the environment by providing responsible resolutions to the environmental legacy of the production of U.S. nuclear weapons, and to complete cleanup of the contaminated nuclear weapons manufacturing and testing sites across the United States.
The Environmental Management (EM) program was created in 1989 to "manage safely the cleanup of the environmental legacy from 50 years of nuclear weapons production," focusing on "risk reduction and completing cleanup more efficiently and cost effectively." In 2003 and 2004, DOE announced plans to accelerate cleanup of smaller sites such as Rocky Flats, Portsmouth, and Fernald with a clear understanding that, once these sites were cleaned up, additional funding would be transferred and applied to the large complex sites such as Hanford, Idaho Falls, Oak Ridge, and Savannah River. This is, in part, because accelerated cleanup saves money over the long run.
With that expectation, the DOE-EM budget grew to $7.3 billion in fiscal year 2005. DOE declared Rocky Flats "clean" on October 13, 2005, coinciding with the beginning of fiscal year 2006. Instead of transferring funding that had been dedicated to cleaning up the smaller cites to the large sites, the EM budget dropped by $700 million to $6.6 billion for fiscal year 2006. In the three following fiscal year budgets, EM funding has been reduced by another $1.1 billion, to $5.5 billion for fiscal year 2009, and the largest and most hazardous DOE site cleanups, and other sites like Portsmouth, have suffered, putting the public at risk.
Long-range schedules for cleanup at all of these sites continue to slip because of reduced funding. We have repeatedly seen that the longer cleanup is extended, the more cleanup costs due to more stringent security requirements, increasing maintenance costs on facilities and equipment that are already more than 60 years old, and escalating operational costs.
Since the creation of the DOE-EM program in 1989, Congress and the Administration have focused attention on cleaning up these legacy nuclear wastes. Yet, DOE has projected that at the current rate, these major sites will not be cleaned up until sometime near 2050. The sites will have been in various stages of "cleanup" much longer than they were involved in manufacturing materials needed to help win the Cold War. We, the members of the Senate Nuclear Waste Cleanup Caucus, feel strongly that it is the responsibility of the Secretary of Energy, and the Administration, to request full funding for cleaning up these legacy wastes. We are gravely concerned about the continuing downward trend in the Environmental Management budget.
We have urged DOE to step up to our mutual responsibility, and request funding for EM at a level that will allow cleanup progress to continue. Absent the proper budget request from DOE, we respectfully request that DOE-EM funding for fiscal year 2009 be increased to the fiscal year 2006 level of $6.6 billion.

I have Spiceworks set up to display alerts for 2 services. When Spiceworks does a network scan does it collect all data about every server & Windows service every time it scans or only the Windows services I have alerts set up on? I would rather not hit every service every 5 minutes.
Is there a way to set up Spiceworks to do an initial scan to create an inventory but then check ONLY 2 or 3 service states on subsequent scans?
I am trying to use Spiceworks mainly for near-real-time server/service up/down alerting and do not need to collect all data about every server and service every 5 minutes, just server up/down and/or 3 Windows services up/down.

Use the network health scans for the regular checks, full scans are resource/network intensive and so should only run periodically (most people only run them once per day).
Network health checks will handle up/down polling and I think will also monitor for things you setup alerts for too.
If you want realtime monitoring though you should be using something like Nagios, you can setup Nagios and have Spiceworks understand the alerts it sends out.

I have esssentially the same need, though I want to monitor more devices and services than you do. Check out this post I started - there is a lot of good suggestions for real-time monitoring products.

I tried the network health check with a service shut down and that condition was not reported by Spiceworks. I also tried incremental scanning and that did not display an alert for that condition either. CG
P.S.: I tried to set up an alert for the FTP Publishing service but Spiceworks can not seem to find it. Any suggestions? CG
