Alumnus Geoff Johns, Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment, will return to campus next week to serve as this year's Homecoming Grand Marshal. Johns, one of the most influential leaders in the comic industry, also will be the featured speaker at a Media Sandbox event on Thursday, Oct. 10, at 4 p.m. in CAS Room 147.
This year's Homecoming theme, "Creating Spartan Superheroes," is in honor of Johns, a 1995 telecommunication graduate.
Johns, who has quickly become one of the most popular and prolific contemporary comic book writers today, has written highly acclaimed stories starring Superman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Teen Titans and Justice Society of America. He is the author of five New York Times best-selling graphic novels, including "Green Lantern: Rage of the Red Lanterns," "Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps War," "Justice Society of America: Thy Kingdom Come," "Superman: Brainiac" and "Blackest Night."
He received the Wizard Fan Award for Breakout Talent of 2002 and Writer of the Year for 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, as well as Comic Buyer's Guide (CBG) Writer of the Year 2003 through 2005 and 2007 and 2008, and CBG Best Comic Book Series for Justice Society of America 2001 through 2005.
Most recently, Johns has written comic books for Justice League, Aquaman and Justice League of America; the DC Comics TV special "Robot Chicken;" and consulted and wrote for the top-rated CW show, "Arrow," based on DC Comics character Green Arrow. The season premiere for "Arrow" is Wednesday, Oct. 9, at 8/7c on the CW network. Additionally, Johns and his team are working closely with Warner Bros. Interactive to create video games based on DC Comics characters including Batman: Arkham City.
"The best thing about my job is I work with the best creative people in the business in their respective fields," Johns said.
Johns was born in Detroit and grew up in Clarkston, Mich. He studied media arts, screenwriting, film production and film theory at MSU.
"MSU was a perfect fit for me," Johns was quoted in the Winter 2012 MSU Alumni Magazine. "It was a well known school, the campus is beautiful, and there was a comics shop on Grand River. The library has the largest comics collection in the country. I had a great experience."
Some of Johns mentors include Telecommunications, Information Studies and Media faculty members Carrie Heeter, professor, and Brian Winn, associate professor.
Johns moved to Los Angeles, Calif., after graduating from MSU in search of work within the film industry. He ended up working as an intern and later as the assistant to film director Richard Donner. During that time, he also began his comics career writing "Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E.," a comic book first published by DC Comics in July 1999 that ran for 14 issues.
After acclaimed runs on The Flash, Teen Titans and the best-selling Infinite Crisis miniseries, Johns co-wrote a run on Action Comics with his mentor Donner. In 2006, he co-wrote 52, an ambitious weekly comic book series set in real time. Johns also has written for various other media, including the acclaimed "Legion" episode of "Smallville" and the fourth season of "Robot Chicken." He is currently writing the story of the DC Universe Online, a massively multiplayer action game from Sony Online Entertainment LLC.
During the Media Sandbox-hosted event on Oct. 10, Johns will talk about his career and journey from CAS student to comic industry superstar. The event, which is free and open to the public, is first-come, first-served seating. All students in attendance will be entered into a drawing for signed memorabilia by Johns. You must be present to win. RSVP is requested at email@example.com.
Johns and several CAS alumni and students will participate in MSU's Homecoming Parade on Friday, Oct. 11, including "Current Sports" host Al Martin, 2012 journalism graduate, and four members of this year's Homecoming court: Communications majors Janisse Martinez and Lexis Zeidan, Journalism major Jessica Pedersen, and Media and Information major Elliot Zirulnik.
CAS alumni and friends are invited to watch the Homecoming Parade from the best view in town at 6 p.m. Oct. 11 at the CAS Homecoming Bash at Beggar's Banquet, 218 Abbott Road. Tickets to the Bash are $20, or $15 for MSU Alumni Association members. Children under 12 are free. Tickets can be purchased online at store.cas.msu.edu/ or at the door. For those who preregister, their names will be entered into a drawing for memorabilia signed by Johns. You must be present to win.
This year's Homecoming Week is Oct. 7-12. For more information on CAS Homecoming events, see the CAS Homecoming web page.

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, yesterday denied speculation making the rounds that there is a cold war between him and the Chief Judge of the State, (CJ) Justice Ayodeji Daramola, saying those hoping to reap from such a situation would be very disappointed. Governor Fayose made the clarification in Ado-Ekiti while inaugurating members of the Ekiti State Judicial Service Commission, (ESJSC). He described Justice Daramola as a judicial officer who knows his onions and whose priority was the dispensation of justice without fear or favour. "Ekiti State is my project and its interest comes first. There is no ill-feeling between me and the Chief Judge. We are both passionate about Ekiti as our project. "Those going round town with the rumour that there is a cold war between us are only mischievous. Let them know that they are disappointed already. "Members of the commission were carefully chosen and they are men of integrity and that was why it took me some time to select them. These are people who will not pervert justice because whoever perverts justice perverts eternity for himself. The judiciary and those working there are managing a critical aspect of life. "Our administration will also not relent in making their working condition a conducive one. One thing I will surely do before leaving office is to provide a befitting office accommodation for the judiciary in terms of court rooms and offices. By God's grace, before the end of the second quarter of this year the foundation will be laid". The Governor urged judicial officers in the state and members of the commission to work together with the CJ and move the state judiciary forward. Reacting to views in some quarters that his criticisms of President Muhammadu Buhari, are getting too alarming and embarrassing, Governor Fayose explained that what gives birth to dictatorial governance is lack of consistent and constructive criticisms of public office holders. "My criticizing Buhari is to help the people have dividends of democracy. If nobody is talking because they are afraid, you will have a dictator in every leader. It is to keep people on their toes for the love of everybody," he added. He warned members of the commission against engaging in politics and urged them to do the right things always. Responding on behalf of the members of the commission, Rev. Tope Popoola, said they would not betray the confidence reposed in them by the government and people of the state. The chairman of the commission is Justice Daramola, while the members are the Commissioner for Justice, Mr Owoseni Ajayi, Deacon Dele Adesina (SAN), Mr Babatunde. Adeoye, Rev. Tope Popoola and Chief Justin Ogunseyin.

"The first computer to use a mouse was the Apple Lisa in 1983."
Call it the first commercially viable mouse, then yes, but don't lie.
From the Source: "The second marketed integrated mouse shipped as a part of a computer and intended for personal computer navigation came with the Xerox 8010 Star Information System in 1981. However, the mouse remained relatively obscure until the 1984 appearance of the Apple Macintosh, which included an updated version of the original Lisa Mouse. In 1984 PC columnist John C. Dvorak dismissively commented on the newly-released computer with a mouse: "There is no evidence that people want to use these things" "
Also, how many times do i have to read
"From a wooden computer box to a glass smartphone, Apple has pushed the boundaries of technology."
More lies:

Yeah, I'm posting here because this is where I always found the most powerful brain trust regarding acoustics on the internet... so I am hopeful of getting the right answer as opposed to "Get a Martin you cheapskate..."
My eyes are getting worse and worse all the time. When I look at my Ibanez PF1, I see a solid top. I didn't think these inexpensive guitars came with a solid top so I'm submitting pics for y'all to check out and let me know. I got this thing for $100 or so bucks a few months ago, strung her with the damn cheapest set of acoustic strings I could find. Accuwounds, guage 13. (a box of 10 sets for $3.99 at my local GC) And she sounds brilliant, beautiful and full. Spruce top with maple back and sides.

Is there any software that will monitor for a running process using more then X % of the CPU?
I have a program that is obviously having issues - once and a while it will use 50% of the CPU and keep using it (so the total CPU utilization of the Citrix Server is 100% and stays there).
So I want to find a way to notify myself quickly when it happens so I can figure out what people are doing that breaks the software.
Jun 15, 2011 at 8:15 UTC
Well I ended up just watching VMware's VCenter to monitor the CPU usage. I also have a VMWare alert set so if the CPU usage is high for a while I will know about it. Not the best answer but at least it gets me part of the way there.

I know for certain Argent can do that exact thing..... but it is expensive, complicated, and probably more full featured than you would need if you only intend on monitoring a single process. However it would work and you can set all the thresholds and customize the alert as you see fit. IE:if Process_X meets or exceeds X% of CPU time for Y amount of time then send Alert_1 to Admin_A. That being said I'd go out on a limb here and suggest that Spiceworks may very well be able to do the same type of process, however I couldn't tell you how. We do have some custom alerts, however only if Process_X is installed.. not neccessarily it's cpu time over a period of time.... you have me curious now as well if SW can do that right "out of the box".
Jun 8, 2011 at 11:37 UTC
Spiceworks will not actually actively monitor a process. I think this is something they have talked about doing (but it needs an agent to do it). So right now no spiceworks is not the solution needed.
Jun 8, 2011 at 12:36 UTC
Have you looked into nagios?
Jun 8, 2011 at 12:45 UTC
at one point I started to but I could not figure out how to get it to work well. (in a large part, I am sure, due to not having enough time to get it working)

Been using Process Lasso for this:
/ www.bitsum.com/ prolasso.php
/ en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Process_Lasso
- Has x86, 64bit, and server versions
- Free to try, $19 for license (many discounts available)
Program can throttle a process, terminate at a certain threshold, restrict it to a certain CPU, and much more.
It does keep a short term log file. Not specifically using it for alerting, rather for restraining & sandboxing certain processes.

The Honeymoon Effect: A state of bliss, passion, energy, and health resulting from a huge love. Your life is so beautiful that you can't wait to get up to start a new day and you thank the Universe that you are alive. Think back on the most spectacular love affair of your life - the Big One that toppled you head over heels. For most, it was a time of heartfelt bliss, robust health, and abundant energy - a first-hand experience of Heaven on Earth. Imagine what it would be like if you could maintain the Honeymoon Effect throughout your whole life.
Dr. Bruce H. Lipton describes how the Honeymoon Effect was not a chance event or a coincidence, but a personal creation. Here Dr. Lipton reveals how we manifest the Honeymoon Effect and the reasons why we lose it. This knowledge empowers listeners to create the honeymoon experience again, this time in a way that ensures a happily-ever-after relationship that even a Hollywood producer would love. With authority, eloquence, and an accessible style, Lipton covers the influence of quantum physics (good vibrations), biochemistry (love potions), and psychology (the conscious and subconscious minds) in creating and sustaining loving relationships. He also asserts that we can learn from the example of the harmonious relationships of our 50 trillion cells to create a "super organism" called humanity that can heal our planet.

Major Disappointment
I am a HUGE Bruce Lipton fan. I have listened to his three previous books numerous times and have gotten a lot out of them, so I was very excited to see a new book available on Audible. This book is nothing like the others. This book appears to have some agendas to it, it seems like it was recorded in a hurry and you can tell that Bruce's heart is just not in it. He reads it word for word with no feeling. It is like he is doing it for someone else or some other reason. Not like in his previous books where he speaks with enthusiasm and you think he is speaking from the heart and not reading a manuscript. Yes there is some good information but it was tedious to listen to . Such a let-down.

UPDATE: I'm not finding much in the way of debunkery of this story online. Car and Tech blogs seem to be pretty sanguine about lasering thorium to power cars and one site that focuses on rare metals seems to think the lasing thing makes sense with Thorium.
I found little about the Doctor Charles Stevens mentioned in the many articles I perused below. However, I went to the Laser Power Systems site, which is pretty spartan unless one registers...I mean spartan as in there is NOTHING there. Well, I registered hoping to find patent, tech or business info.
Boy Howdy.
After registering, if one clicks on "patents"one is taken to a page called the
Galactic Governments Patent Office
...which seems to be a separate website that is railing against new patent legislation....but has no patents. And there isn't much there. On the "News Feed"....I saw "Brickmuppet Registers" as the most recent news. The other site is LaserTurbinePower.com. Registering there takes one to a screen that is labeled Registered Users Area, but that's it...no links...nothing just a page that one has to register to access....with no info or business plan or catgirls or anything
I did track down this powerpoint online...which is an Laser Power Systems pitch from 2009 that contains a host of spelling errors and a working diagram that rivals the U.S. Department of Innovation's Logo for functionality.
One other thing (scarcely worth mentioning I'm sure).
Another Dr. Charles Stevens (who has the same contact phone number) is the founder of Helyxzion, LLC. This is claimed to be a genomics company and my undergraduate biology tells me that his biddness plan is...dubious. I also note that both of these Dr. Charles Stevenses (who share he same phone number) have been working in their respective fields since the mid-80's. I guess that apartment is just full of mad science...Wait...maybe its not an apartment...I'm now envisioning something along the lines of Conjectural Technologies.
Now can someone explain to me why no one from any of these rated sites did this cursory bit of research? It certainly doesn't excuse my screw up...but damn.
Of course it's not their fault I posted it. This screw up was in my post, on my blog and was my fault.
I apologize profusely to my readers for this post which I am now moving below the fold where it shall fester as a shameful reminder to all of my fallibility.

....or Jury Duty.
Try Two Years....
I've never HEARD of such a thing. According to my summons: from January 2012 through December 2013 I am on call by the United States District Court of the Eastern District of Virginia. For 2 years I have to report to the courthouse 3 days a month and can be called up for jury duty, which, unless it's a really short trial, will realistically will cause me to drop out of school again...
I can't leave the country obviously, so going to Japan to get the teaching job I would have been able to get if I'd still be graduating in August or December of next year is right out.
All plans, all dreams derailed. The end.

This is actually a big deal. These airships are much better able to handle winds than conventional airships and heavy lift requirements in remote locations would seem to play to their strengths.
The ships currently offered have lift capacities of up to 200 tons , but there are vehicles in development that have a 1000 ton payload.
Unlike normal airships these vehicles are generally trimmed to be slightly heavier than air, which makes them much better ships in a storm, they can still do vertical takeoffs and hovering via their thrust vectoring systems. For the vast Canadian Arctic these ships could indeed be a boon in opening up the wilderness.
If they work out there they could have any number of civilian and military applications., from container transport to passenger liner to Coast Guard cutter.

I've long thought that Bachmann is vastly and disturbingly closer to the medias image of Palin than Palin herself is. I'd actually been meaning to write about why she bothered me...but I didn't and now there is no need as she seems to have self-immolated the other night.

They seem a bit more chibi-fied on this cover.
( That last bit might not be canon)
Being about art students and written by creative types, it's sort of a Mary Sue strip for aspiring artists. The humor is generally pretty dry and revolves mainly around sketch comedy and character bits. The pacing reminds me a lot of Peanuts.
The art and direction is exceedingly quirky. This latter may grow out of the first series being a throwaway filler show with no budget. The production team seems to have compensated for their initial lack of resources with offbeat art and a LOT of screen-tone. The first series was a runaway hit and SHAFT seems to have responded by throwing money at the animation team, though the quirkiness remains.
The characters are all living in an apartment complex near the school and one of them is an established (and award winning) writer who has enrolled in the school to learn to draw so she can illustrate her light novels. So...I'd gotten it into my head that this was a college and that Sae was much older than the rest. That was certainly the vibe I got from the first two discs.
This show makes it much clearer that the art school is actually a high school. It just specializes in art.
"Why would that make...?...!!...Oh God...I just threw up a little in my mouth."

...and yet.
Here at home our greatest fear seems to be offending the murderers. PC Quislings ensured that no one from the clergy or first responders is going to be allowed at the place the buildings fell, for it is a secular place....except for the mosque that is to be erected.
Our oikophobic, orientalist ruling class condemns anything that might "offend". They then congratulate themselves on their sophistication and tolerance, and in their implacable ignorance expect reciprocity. What these smug provincial sophisticates cannot comprehend is that our enemies are not sophisticated, or tolerant...or even literate for the most part.
These savages are not the Muslim dentists or professors we know who came here to escape the terror under which they once lived. Our enemies are that terror. For 1432 years they've adhered to a creed that explicitly says to look for any signs of weakness and then attack. They do not appreciate nuances beyond signs of strength and weakness, and the signs they see are overwhelmingly of the latter. They see a people that back down and censor themselves to avoid a potential riot. They see a people that allows them to build a victory marker at the site of their greatest victory.
10 years on we pause to remember the 2,996 people who died that day.
We should also reflect on how best to remember them.
I would suggest that taking pains not to offend those who celebrate their passing is not it.
UPDATE: To wit...

The next-generation PMAG 30 GEN M3 is a 30-round 5.56x45 NATO (.223 Remington) polymer magazine for AR15/M4 compatible weapons. Along with expanded feature set and compatibility, the GEN M3 incorporates new material technology and manufacturing processes for enhanced strength, durability, and reliability to exceed rigorous military performance specifications.While the GEN M3 is optimized for Colt-spec AR15/M4 platforms, modified internal and external geometry also permits operation with a range of additional weapons such as the HK® 416/MR556A1/M27 IAR, British SA-80, FN® SCAR™ MK 16/16S, and others.Similar to the MOE PMAG, the GEN M3 features a long-life USGI-spec stainless steel spring, four-way anti-tilt follower and constant-curve internal geometry for reliable feeding, and simple tool-less disassembly to ease cleaning.In addition, a redesigned bolt catch notch in the rear of the magazine provides increased bolt catch clearance, while an over-travel stop on the spine helps ensure the magazine will not over-insert on compatible weapons. Low profile ribs and new aggressive front and rear texture gives positive control of the GEN M3 in all environments, and a paint pen dot matrix has been added to the bottom panel of the body to allow easy marking by the end user for identification. The new, easy to disassemble flared floorplate aids extraction and handling of the magazine while providing improved drop protection, but is slightly slimmer than before for better compatibility with tight double and triple magazine pouches. An included pop-off Impact/Dust Cover can optionally be used to minimize debris intrusion and protect against potential damage to the top cartridge during storage and transit.For

We have come to the conclusion that two chickens are not enough.
For two reasons....chickens are social birds. If something were to happen to one of them, the other would be left alone.
And more importantly, we can't get enough of their eggs. Now that is is winter, the days are short and cold, and the chicks are laying a bit less. Dear, hormonally-challenged Mirabelle tends to get broody, and then went through a molting phase, so she's not laying as consistently as Chloe. Chloe, meanwhile, continues to pop out 6 eggs a week.
I digress.
We hatched a plan (ha! pun intended) to take on two more chicks, and then decided on three because three breeds that we wanted were available. And again, with two chicks, you risk losing one and having one left stranded.
So without further ado, I present our three newbies:
Chicken Tikka Masala is an Ameraucana, Omelet is a Buff Orpington, and Drumstick is a Plymouth Barred Rock.
They are all ridiculously cute, fluffy and healthy. Chicken Tikka Masala will lay blue eggs, while the others are brown-egg layers. All are hardy in the winter and friendly birds.

The Trickmaster is a recurring antagonist that appear games in the Kingdom Hearts series. Some of the games included the original Kingdom Hearts and it's Final Mix version, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Re:Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts: coded, and it's Re:coded edition. It is an Emblem Heartless that's seen terrorizing Wonderland.
Kingdom Hearts
Throughout most of Sora's adventure when he was in Wonderland, the Trickmaster would be referred to as the Shadows or the Darkness, especially by the Cheshire Cat.
Before Sora and his friends reached Wonderland, the Trickmaster stole the Queen of Heart's heart. Enraged that her heart was stolen, the Queen immediately blamed Alice for the theft of her heart. But to show some "fairness", the Queen set up a trial for Alice, even though she was going plead guilty anyway.
Some time after Sora and his friends reached Wonderland, they eventually encountered the trial. In the middle of the trial, Sora steps in and told the Queen if he could find proof that Alice wasn't the culprit, the Queen would let he go. When Sora found enough evidence and presented towards the Queen, she becomes enraged as sent her Card Guards to attack them.
After defeating a small army of the Queen of Hearts' Card Guards, Sora and his friends are shocked to find out that Alice has gone missing. They rush off to find her, searching all throughout Wonderland. Eventually, Sora ended up back to the normal Bizarre Room. There, the sneaky Cheshire Cat appears and directs Sora's attention to the roof of the room, from which the Trickmaster appears. The Trickmaster drops down from the roof, and attacks Sora and his friends. After a long battle, The Trickmaster was defeated. Once the Heartless has been defeated, Sora discovers Wonderland's keyhole and manages to seal the keyhole.
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
The Trickmaster was seen in Castle Oblivion as a figment of Sora's memory in his memories of Wonderland. It was revealed that the Trickmaster the one who stole the Queen's memory, which caused her to accuses Alice of this crime. After escaping from the Queen with Alice, Sora battles the Trickmaster, and defeats the creature of darkness.
The Trickmaster also reappeared in front of Riku, as a figment of his memory and was a representation of the darkness within him.
Kingdom Hearts coded
The Trickmaster is the one responsible for the Bug Blox in the Data-Wonderland. It also stole the memories of all the living beings in Data-Wonderland.
Powers and Abilities
The Trickmaster is a powerful Emblem Heartless. Some of it's abilities include generating fireballs, attack with it's batons, lighting them on fire, and a few other abilities.
- In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, there's another Emblem Heartless that greatly resembles the Trickmaster; The Crimson Prankster, which is how the Trickmaster appeared as in Final Mix.

Williams Still Gets Around
Thursday, July 6, 2006
Where in the world is D.C. Mayor Anthony A. Williams?
On Friday, it was London. On Saturday, Istanbul. On Tuesday, he was in Paris.
And today?
If it's Thursday, it must be Johannesburg.
For the moment, that's where Williams plans to stay. The South African city is the final stop on a whirlwind tour of world capitals on which Washington's peripatetic mayor embarked June 28 and from which he is scheduled to return July 11.
The 14-day trip marks the mayor's longest absence this year. But it is hardly the only one. By the time he touches down Tuesday, Williams will have spent all or part of 60 days away from Washington, or nearly one in three.
Williams (D) has announced plans to retire in January and had promised to tone down the travel during his final year in office. His frequent trips have drawn criticism throughout his second term as mayor. "What I plan on doing now in the next year is to be really involved here in the city," Williams told reporters in November.
But an analysis of the mayor's public schedule shows that Williams's itch for the open road has been scratched only slightly less often than in 2005 -- his most active on record -- when Williams was president of the National League of Cities. Last year, the mayor spent all or part of 137 days out of town, or 37 percent. So far this year, he has spent 31 percent of his time out of town, more than in 2003 (29 percent) or in 2004 (26 percent).
Mayoral spokesman Vince Morris defended Williams's travel, offering a four-point rebuttal to those who say that the mayor should spend a little more time with the people he was elected to serve.
"One, he's in constant contact by BlackBerry and cell phone. . . . It's not like he's in a cave somewhere spelunking," Morris said. Secondly, as mayor of the nation's capital, Williams is inundated with invitations to represent U.S. cities abroad. Thirdly, Williams is determined to spread the word that Washington is no longer bankrupt and badly managed but is now a wonderful place to visit and do business. "After government, tourism is our largest industry," Morris said.
Lastly, Morris said, no taxpayer dollars are spent on the international trips. The mayor's expenses are generally covered by his hosts or corporate sponsors. And when he travels abroad, "he travels alone," Morris said. "He doesn't bring any staff."
Take the current journey. Only Williams's wife, Diane Simmons Williams, accompanied him to London for a conference on urban development sponsored by Eurocities, a network of European cities. The couple's expenses were covered by the central government of London, mayoral spokeswoman Sharon Gang said.
From London, Williams jetted alone to Istanbul to address graduates of Bahcesehir University, on the school's dime. Then it was on to the Turkish capital of Ankara for the fifth annual conference of the Glocal Forum, an international body dedicated to the "fundamental role that mayors and their cities play in forging a more balanced and peaceful world," according to the forum's Web site. The forum paid for the mayor's travel, Gang said.
Williams then joined his wife in Paris, at the French capital's expense, to unveil a painting of Rosa Parks and a statue of Thomas Jefferson on the Fourth of July.
But the mayor's stay was brief in the City of Light. The London School of Economics paid for him to hop an overnight flight to Johannesburg, Gang said. The school is sponsoring a series of conferences dubbed "The Urban Age" that aims to influence how cities are "studied, planned and managed," according to its Web site. Williams is scheduled to be a featured speaker.
Morris said that Williams is in demand at such conferences because he has spent the past eight years successfully reviving the U.S. capital. "If he was the mayor of La Plata or something, he probably would not be asked to serve," Morris said.

Ozolinsh Grateful For The Opportunity

from the Mercury News,
The Sharks welcomed back an old face Sunday. Defenseman Sandis Ozolinsh arrived for a training camp tryout.
"This is a good opportunity for him and for us," said Sharks General Manager Doug Wilson. "We'll just see where it goes. We think it's well worth the time."
Ozolinsh, who has dealt with well-documented problems off the ice, said he spent the summer deciding if he was prepared to continue playing.
"I was less concerned about my physical strength than I was my mental condition," he said. "I wanted to make sure my head was in the right place. I'm really grateful for this opportunity, and I'll make the most of it."

A Benchmark Approach to Filtering in Finance
The paper proposes the use of the growth optimal portfolio for the construction of financial market models with unobserved factors that have to be Filtered .This benchmark approach avoids any measure transformation for the pricing of derivatives. The suggested framework allows to measure the reduction of the variance of derivative prices for increasing degrees of available information. Don't forget to subscribe to our newsletter.
Inside financial modelling it really is from time to time the case that will its not all quantities which usually figure out your dynamics associated with security prices is usually completely observed A number of the variables that will define your development of the market place are usually hidden However most of these unobserved variables could be necessary to re act in a very market place design the type of dynamics that particular empirically observes .

This leads obviously to be able to filter methods These kinds of procedures figure out your distribution called fi lter distribution of the unob offered factors offered your obtainable information This syndication enables next to be able to compute your expectancy associated with amounts which have been depending on unobserved factors intended for instance type prices .

|Monica McDonald
|Earth Starfleet
|USS Yorktown (NCC-208)
Ensign Monica McDonald - Monica had moved up the ranks to where she was at rather mysterious. She was an able engineer and was very smart in many other areas.Monica was an expert in ship's systems. She was not a big picture person – tunnel versioned – but has a great personality and a quick study (she had a photographic memory). She was recruited by Section 31 as an operative, unbeknownst to anyone on the crew – including her boyfriend Tim Samuel. She had genuine feelings for Tim, which could become compromised if anyone knew her history. She was psychic (hence Section 31's interest) and seemed to have intermittent connections to species with higher brain functions (i.e. Romulans, Vulcans, etc.). She had out-of-body encounters with Romulans, however, she saw them as humans or Vulcans. There by one of the few humans to have see a romulan until 2266.
While aboard the NES Avalon which stuck a gravitic mine, Samuels and McDonald contained the warp core breach and were deemed "Hero of the Avalon". However, McDonald did not survive when she received a lethal dose of Delta Radiation from the leaking core. (Star Trek: The Romulan Wars)

How do I get the item I see on the broken stairs on Undead Asylum?
I can't figure it out...
Akay4 - 5 years ago
Accepted Answer
It is the "Rusted ring" and you CAN'T get it until you leave the asylum and come back later. You get back as soon as you reach the church where the first bell is located, there is an elevator that will create a shorcut to Firleink from the elevator you can jump off it and land on a roof and go right, you will see a support arch to which you can jump-roll to land on it, climb the stairs and you will see a corpose with an item bellow on a roof, get that item and get back up via the elevator jump again, go to the crow's nest and curl and wait for 20 seconds until the Crow mom takes you back to the asylum.
With the key you picked from the corpose you can open the door on the upper part of those stairs and collect the very useful ring that allows you to run on water, extremely useful in Blightown's poisonous mud. Just be careful not to step on the center of the room where you fought the first boss if you are still underleveled because you'll be dropped into a fight with a much stronger boss, so just walk on the outskirts of that room towards any of both Bonfires.

Other Answers
Fisrt you will need to pick up a key that is in the firelink shrine (on the roof by the spiral stairs) then the key opens the gate that is up the stairs where the zombie pushes the boulder, continue round and go into the room where there is now a hollow knight and spearman. Behind them is the gate which the key opens, just follow the passage at the end of which is the rusted iron ring.

Entry-level performance motorcycle segment in India has been taken a notch higher, thanks to KTM. The Austrian motorcycle manufacturer has given India good performance motorcycles at a very affordable price.
The KTM wins hands down, when we compare the Duke 390 vs the Benelli TNT 300, and so does the KTM RC390 when compared to the Yamaha YZF-R3. Leaving the KTMs aside, let's focus on other motorcycles in this category — the upcoming Benelli Tornado 300 vs the Yamaha R3.
The Benelli Tornado 300 that is yet to make an entry into the Indian market is based on the TNT300 that is already on sale here. The fully faired motorcycle features rounded, rather more curvaceous lines, something not seen on many motorcycles these days. The overall design will remind one of the Tornado 900 that has been discontinued.
The exposed frame and the side mounted exhaust add to the overall design language of the Benelli Tornado 300.
The Yamaha YZF-R3, unlike the Benelli features sharp, angular characteristic lines, inspired by its older sibling, the R1. The R3's fairings make up the entire motorcycle's bodywork, exposing very little such as the clutch casing and the exhaust. The pointy tail section blends in well with the overall design of the R3.
Engine Specification And Gearbox
The Benelli Tornado 300 makes use of the same power plant the TNT300 uses - a 300cc, liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine that makes 38bhp and 27Nm of torque. Power is delivered through a 6-speed manual gearbox and since Benelli claim a mileage of 25km/l on the TNT300, the Tornado is expected to return marginally less owing to the extra weight the fairings provide.
The Yamaha R3 uses a similar engine layout — a 321cc, liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine that makes 41bhp and 30Nm of torque. The power plant comes paired to a 6-speed manual gearbox and Yamaha claims that the R3 returns a mileage of 22km/l. The Benelli and the R3 come with electronic fuel injection.
The Benelli Tornado 300 will sport upside down front suspension, along with a monoshock at the rear, while the Yamaha R3 comes with traditional telescopic front forks. Apart from the mentioned key difference in features, both motorcycles have disc brakes at both ends, semi digital instrument cluster, dual headlights, and 17-inch wheels.
The Yamaha R3 does not feature ABS, even as an option. The Tornado 300 could have ABS since the TNT300 does not have the safety system either. Benelli could introduce ABS on the Tornado 300 keeping the Indian safety norms in mind.
Verdict — Tornado or the R3?
Well, the answer between the two is simple — the Yamaha R3 clearly has more performance compared to the Tornado 300. In terms of pricing, the R3 is priced approximately at Rs 3.6 lakh on-road (Delhi) and we can expect the Benelli to be priced around the same.

I proudly support and will vote for Tom Hoefling, a pro-life conservative.
Obama thanks you for four things: (1) saving one of his votes; (2) not voting for his serious opponent; (3) allowing his train of destruction to rush on at 100 mph instead of slowing it to 20 mph with Romney; and (4) not allowing any conservative leaders the time to develop into serious opposition.
Can pride can fill your belly?

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns today announced that Taiwan will resume trade in U.S. boneless beef from animals under 30 months of age.
"I'm extremely pleased with Taiwan's resumption of trade in U.S. beef," said Johanns. "This advances our goal to resume normal beef trade throughout the world that follows science-based-based international guidelines in food and animal safety."
Taiwan's announcement closely follows the recent reopening of several other major Asian markets to U.S. beef in Hong Kong, Japan and Korea.
In 2003, the United States exported more than $76 million worth of beef to Taiwan, with boneless beef products accounting for $56 million. Taiwan's market is now open to more than 90 percent of total U.S. ruminant and ruminant products whose value reached $325 million in 2003. After the discovery of a BSE-infected cow in the United States, $4.8 billion worth of U.S. beef and beef product exports were banned. Markets accounting for $3.8 billion have since been recovered.
Taiwan reopened its market to U.S. beef in April 2005, but closed it again in June following the confirmation of a second U.S. case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE).
