Sexual harassment is highly underreported and more common than you think. Victims can be male or female, and the offenders can be a supervisor or colleague. If someone at work is making sexual advances and sexually inappropriate behavior towards you, speak up and take legal action immediately.
In some cases, there may be a fine line between sexual harassment and simple "joking." The bottom line is, if persistent actions by some individuals make you feel uncomfortable and has impaired your ability to work productively, it is important to take action. Talk to an attorney about your options and what you can do to make the behavior stop and hold the offenders accountable.
If you are an employee who is the victim of sexual harassment, report the incident to your company's human resources department or supervisor. Many employers may have a policy regarding sexual harassment that you must follow before you can take legal action.

Alright already! I tell you again that I didn't want to persuade her. I was just arguing with her. That's all.
OK, I promise that if she answers to my post I will argue no more. Fair enough?

Pac-12 Morning Five: 11.02.11 EditionPosted by Connor Pelton on November 2nd, 2011
- David and Travis Wear will be eligible for their first season at UCLA after transferring from North Carolina after the 2009-10 season. This Ben Bolch article focuses on the Wear twins and the roles they will take on with the Bruins this year. David is expected to make the immediate impact early on at small forward because of his jump shooting ability. With David, Reeves Nelson, and Joshua Smith all down low, the Bruins will have the best frontcourt in the Pac-12, if not the nation. Travis and Anthony Stover will spell Smith at the center position. When the Bruins need points they will turn to Travis, while Stover is the defensive/shot-blocking specialist.
- If there was a theme for Pac-12 frontcourts in 2011-12, it would be "big." There are 40 players at 6'9″ or bigger on Pac-12 rosters this season, including 7'3″ Utah center David Foster and 7'2″ Arizona State center Jordan Bachynski. Percy Allen breaks down the bigs of the conference and points out who is excelling and struggling so far this season.
- Exhibition basketball continued last night with two games, Humboldt State vs. Arizona and UC San Diego vs. California. We begin in Tucson, where the Wildcats bounced back from their loss against Seattle Pacific last Thursday to defeat the Lumberjacks, 60-51. Arizona still has a lot of kinks to work out, mainly on offense as they shot just 20% from behind the arc. Humboldt State didn't do anything to help its cause, though, by putting Arizona on the line for 38 free throws. UA only made 22 of those, but that was still the difference in the game. Next up for Arizona is their regular season opener against Valparaiso on Monday night in the Coaches vs. Cancer.
- Up in Berkeley, the Golden Bears blew by the UC San Diego Tritons with ease. After a slow ten minutes in which Cal could not find its touch from around the rim, Mike Montgomery's team quickly pulled away from the overmatched opponent. The lead was only nine at halftime but a 22-4 burst by the Bears to start the second half put away any thoughts of a preseason upset. Minnesota transfer Justin Cobbs was the star of the game, leading the Bears with 17 points and four assists off the bench. This was Cal's first and only exhibition game, and they will begin regular season play against UC Irvine on Nov. 11.
- Arizona shooting guard Nick Johnson has drawn rave reviews so far and needs to be on the court more according to his head coach, Sean Miller. Miller has already tried moving senior shooting guard Kyle Fogg to small forward in order to create extra minutes for Johnson, and he is also considering playing Johnson at the point in order to get he and Fogg on the floor together. "We have to look at Nick playing another position if he continues to progress," Miller said. "But it's hard to play two positions as a freshman. For the most part, with freshmen, we keep them at one spot." In last night"s game against Humboldt State, Fogg and Josiah Turner, Arizona's other fabulous freshman, got the start at guard. However, they all played close to equal amounts of time (Fogg-24, Turner-22, Johnson-21). Johnson and Turner led the group with eight points each.

This week's 'Love The Look' sees Joshua Jackson, and boyfriend of Diane Kruger, looking incredibly dapper in a Hollywood screen-star suit. I'm guessing that, by the waistcoat, details and fact that just about every Hollywood man at the moment is hooked, that the suit is by Tom Ford but who care's about a lack of originality when you've made this much effort!
The details are the key: the perfect black buttons, the patent glint of the shoes, the bold bow-tie and silk (yet classy) lapel of the jacket. Joshua was attending the Jaeger-Le Coultre Gala at the 65th Venice Film Festival and while most men would look a bit pants next to a Chanel muse and seasoned-wearer of Dior, Elie Saab and Prada, Jackson proves he's a worthy sartorial opponent.

Students, faculty and staff of Rochester Institute of Technology will gather Aug. 29 to celebrate the efforts of everyone involved in helping the university move from a quarterly academic calendar to one based on semesters.
The calendar conversion, first announced in 2010, was a complicated process that involved the collaboration of the entire university. A group of committees that included faculty and staff, often in consultation with Student Government leaders, has overseen everything from converting our academic programs from quarters to their semester version, and designing the new calendar to converting to a new student information system to making sure every student received advisement during the transition.
To mark the occasion, RIT President Bill Destler, Provost Jeremy Haefner, Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration Jim Watters, Trustee Charles S. Brown Jr. and Calendar Conversion Project Director Fernando Naveda will host a special event, beginning with a reception at 2 p.m. in the Fireside Lounge.
At 3 p.m., the community is invited to gather in Ingle Auditorium to hear a few important remarks and view a video produced by Frank Cost, professor and program chair in the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences' School of Photographic Arts and Sciences. Cost's video includes interviews with students, faculty, alumni and staff, gathering their impressions of what the calendar conversion will mean to the future of RIT.
A longer version of the video, containing full-length, uncut versions of the interviews, is being placed—along with a proclamation by the RIT board of trustees and other commemorative items—in a time capsule to be installed on the campus in the First Ladies Garden near the west entrance of the Ritter Ice Arena. Plans call for the capsule to be opened in 50 years.
"The calendar conversion has been a success so far because of the dedication of RIT faculty and staff, who worked very hard to ensure that the process went as smoothly as possible," Naveda says. "The time capsule ceremony is a celebration the commitment of our department and program leaders, faculty and staff to the university and our students."
The change to a semester calendar was designed to put RIT on a comparable schedule with most major universities —improving cooperation in areas such as credit transfer, student exchange and study abroad.

I was watching BBC World News on an unusually hot afternoon in Zambia looking for entertainment to pass my time. What I heard greatly shocked me, this courageous 16 year old's efforts are admirable to say the least.
I am a 17 year old girl and as I listened to the UN Secretary General- Ban Ki Moon, I could not help but reflect on my life and what impact it has had on others. My findings were disappointing I am fortunate to have been born into a family where education was and still is the number one priority even in times of serious financial constraints.
That said I hope youths all over the world will rise up and begin to see life through the eyes of the girl living in a compound with no idea where her next meal will come from and take a stand. In as much as we are called "leaders of tomorrow" our work starts today, 57 million children are estimated by the UN to be out of school. This figure, albeit staggering, should not deter us but rather pose a challenge to every person to take notice there is no effort that is too small we can turn the tide!
Malala, your life and your heart have inspired me to face my own seemingly insurmountable fears. You are an inspiration to millions!
My youth pastor uses this slogan as a form of inspiration "I am a youth of impact, a world changer, a history maker. Watch out for me!"

CIU to Dedicate Renovated G. Allen Fleece Library
Columbia International University will dedicate the renovated G. Allen Fleece Library with a special ceremony on Jan. 24 at 11:30 a.m.
A devastating electrical fire on May 8, 2010 caused over $2.5 million in damages, mostly to the interior of the library, prompting CIU officials to not only make repairs, but to also make $1.3 million in renovations.
Improvements to the library include glass-enclosed rooms that encourage collaborative study, the latest high-tech connectivity, new furniture, a copier alcove, and a coffee nook that features a coffee maker that grinds the coffee beans. The renovated library opened to students on Jan. 17. Students had been using a temporary library housed in a small, steel-framed building.
The library is named for G. Allen Fleece, the second president of CIU who oversaw CIU's move from downtown Columbia to its present site on 400 acres on Monticello Road. Two of Fleece's children, David Fleece and Ann Fleece Calhoun will speak at the dedication. Also in attendance will be The CIU Board of Trustees, donors who made the renovations possible, contractors who worked on the library, a group of Columbia area women who regularly pray for CIU and local CIU alumni.
Library Director Jo Ann Rhodes says a lot of planning went into the library improvements.
"We worked very hard to plan the new layout of the library to make it something that is beneficial to the students," Rhodes said. "I think about how good God has been to us to bring us to this place."
The dedication will be preceded by a chapel service at 10:50 a.m. featuring Dr. David Calhoun, the son-in-law of G. Allen Fleece. Calhoun is professor emeritus of church history at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, and an alumnus of CIU.
The public is invited to attend the chapel service and the dedication. CIU is located at 7435 Monticello Road, two miles north of I-20.

Arizona: Obama's curse?
Is President Obama to blame for the Democrats' troubles? In the West as a whole, maybe. In Arizona? Definitely. When Obama picked Arizona Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano to run his Homeland Security Department, he inadvertently surrendered the state to an ultra-conservative agenda. The Republican Legislature forged ahead with bills closing state parks and selling off government buildings to appease the state's ballooning deficit without raising taxes much. It passed laws making the state one of the most permissive on handguns and harshest on immigration. And the new Republican governor, Jan Brewer, signed them all.

John Dougherty:
How I ran for a U.S. Senate seat, and what I learned
In most states, such an ideological push -- from either side -- would meet with electoral backlash. In most states, the dismal economy -- Arizona has been battered by the housing bust and has the second-highest poverty rate in the U.S. -- would encourage voters to sweep all incumbents of every party out of office. Not in Arizona. On Nov. 3, Republicans will maintain control of the Legislature, Brewer will probably be re-elected and John McCain will still be the state's senior U.S. senator.
The only incumbents in any real danger are two Democratic members of Congress, Reps. Ann Kirkpatrick and Gabrielle Giffords. Kirkpatrick, a freshman, represents Flagstaff and most of the Navajo Nation. She demonstrated her independence by sponsoring controversial land-swap legislation that would open the way for a huge copper mine near Superior, despite opposition from Rep. Raul Grijalva, a progressive favorite. Paul Gosar, a dentist and a hard-liner endorsed by Sarah Palin and grandstanding Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, is challenging Kirkpatrick.
As for Giffords, during her two terms, she has taken a centrist approach. She's also endeared herself to greens by sponsoring legislation to withdraw land from mining and to reform the 1872 Mining Law, receiving a perfect score from the League of Conservation Voters. She's neck-and-neck with Jesse Kelly, who's endorsed by anti-immigration champion Tom Tancredo, Arpaio and other hard-rightists.
Big picture The Tea Party hasn't shaken up politics in Arizona like it has elsewhere, perhaps because Arizona's mainstream politics already resemble those of the Tea Party.
Best sleeper race Chris Deschene, a Navajo, is the Democratic candidate for secretary of State. He's got experience in the Legislature; he's a graduate of the Naval Academy and served 10 years in the Marines; he's also an engineer and a lawyer. If he beats Republican Ken Bennett in the general election, he'll be positioned for a future run for governor.
Best so there! Republican Ben Quayle -- whose father, Dan, was vice president under the first President Bush -- overcame a Tea Party candidate, along with revelations that he once blogged for a raunchy website, to win the primary. He's facing conservative ("Border security!") Democrat Jon Hulburd in a close race for a House seat. Quayle called Obama the worst president ever; Hulburd responded by saying he could think of a few who were worse.

KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Nepalese officials say the body of a Tibetan man who set himself on fire to protest China's rule over Tibet can only be released to the man's family. Members of the Tibetan community have been asking authorities to hand over the body for a proper funeral.
The body of 25-year-old Drupchen Tsering has been at a Katmandu hospital he self-immolated on Feb. 13.
Police official Pradumna Kakri said Thursday that it was required by law for relatives to come forward to claim the body.
Tsering's family cannot claim the body because he only came to Nepal a few weeks before his death.
Tibetans have written letters to officials including Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai asking for an exception to the law.

This week I am pleased to bring you a modder that I have been following over the past few months, CDante, the author of the incredible 'Push Away Companions', a mod that our own Dark0ne liked so much he added as his Staff Pick. This week we find out what got him started in modding, what he is working on at the moment and what we can expect in the future.
Hi CDante, and welcome to the Sunday discussion. Firstly would you mind letting us know a little bit about you?
Hello Paul, and thank you for this amazing opportunity. My real name is Daniel, I'm a 35-year-old web developer from Budapest, Hungary. I have a masters in electrical engineering but I majored in applied informatics and computer architectures. I've been working in IT for the last 12 years, mostly in online media and bank informatics. Besides the obvious love for video games, I also spent more than a decade collecting, playing and popularizing tabletop miniature games such as Warhammer 40k. Some of my other hobbies include playing the bass, playing basketball and the occasional games of airsoft.
What first got you into gaming and what console/computer did you start with?
My grandfather is an electrical engineer like myself and he managed to get a Commodore 64 in the early '80s. He was the one who taught me how to list, load, run games on the C64 and even made me a floppy disk with my favorite games on it. I was 4.
I've been a gamer ever since.
In the early '90s, I fell in love with the Amiga so much that my first PC only came in the Pentium 1 era. I have always had my own gaming PC ever since, and the first one was the only one I haven't built myself. Besides the PC, I also had a SEGA Master System in the '90s and now I own an XBox 360 as well just for party games like Rock Band and such.
Did you have any favourite games while you were growing up?
Oh so many. I most fondly remember classic point & click adventures from LucasArts like Day of the Tentacle, the Monkey Island series, Full Throttle and similar games from Revolution Software like Beneath a Steel Sky or the Broken Sword series. But I also remember playing months on end of strategy games like the original X-Com and Terror from the Deep, the good old Settlers games, Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2, the Heroes of Might and Magic series and the first Red Alert game and RPGs like the Baldur's Gate and the Icewind Dale series and of course Fallout 1 & 2.
I could go on but if I look back, growing up as an only child I guess my favorite games were always the ones that granted a long single player experience with a great story and lovable, interesting characters. Not unlike reading a great book. So guess that's why my favorites were always adventure games and RPGs.
In terms of modding, you have hit the limelight recently with a series of releases for Fallout 4 that have grabbed the attention of not only our 'Dark0ne' but also PCGamer. What made you decide to mod Fallout 4 and did you have any previous experience?
I'm so glad you didn't mention the Kotaku article haha.
I never had any modding experience before Fallout 4 although I always played previous Bethesda games, and was constantly altering and fixing things via console commands. So it kinda started with playing Fallout 4 for 300 hours in the first 30 days after its release... I know. Guess I can't say I hate Fallout 4 haha. Then I started to test out mods and wanted a full MultiCam camo outfit for my character because that was our pattern of choice in our airsoft team. While there were a lot of camo retextures for outfits even back then, that wasn't enough, I wanted to add our team badge to the shoulder and the beret as well, so I quickly figured out how to edit texture files. That feeling right there, when I actually did something that changed the game, and the result was exactly the way I wanted it, that feeling I won't ever forget.
So I didn't stop there - one thing led to another and in February 2016 I released my first mod ever that added more than 200 standalone camo retextures for 7 different vanilla items. That was 'All Camo Uniforms.'
When I started to receive more and more positive feedback about something I made for the game, and hundreds of users were downloading and enjoying my very first mod, I knew I found the best hobby ever.
Well, you've mentioned it now - so I'm going to ask! What about the Kotaku article?
There's a technical issue in Fallout 4 with inactive radio stations. Let's take Diamond City Radio for example. If the player turns off the Pip-Boy radio or is listening to another station, and there are no other radio receivers playing DCR nearby, the radio station will continue and finish playing the track the player was last listening to, then it will just stop playing tracks in the background, and starts rapidly skipping from one track to the next as if the songs were 0 seconds long. When the player tunes back into Diamond City, it will start playing the next song it reached during its inactive state.
While this is not a very noticeable problem with vanilla radios as they all play songs randomly anyway, it is a huge problem with radio mods like Old World Radio where most stations have a specific order of tracks. Which is especially important when it comes to episodic radio dramas.
So last summer I came up with the idea of spawning a completely muted and invisible actor near the player for 3 seconds that acts like a settlement radio, preventing the inactive station from rapidly skipping tracks when a song would end.
While the idea worked in theory, I made a big mistake thinking it would be a good idea to use the smallest actor in the vanilla game as a blank radio receiver: a cat. People started reporting issues with sneaking, or sometimes hearing dying, screaming, drowning cats in the background while playing the game. Then I was pointed to the right direction by fellow mod authors that the best way to use this technique is not with a cat but with a simple X marker. The bug was fixed within one or two days.
Now half a year later enters Kotaku exposing my mistake thanks to a Twitter post and making an article about it. Frankly, it wasn't spiteful, the main message of the article was that modders sometimes come up with the weirdest solutions to make something work. Just like the game's developers themselves.
The Kotaku Article
"Push Away Companions" was a stroke of genius and not only very funny but genuinely useful to have in the collection. What made you decide to make this mod and how long did it take you?
I remember the exact moment. I was watching a Nuka-World gameplay by Gopher and he got stuck multiple times in a maze because Codsworth was constantly in his way. I remembered Papyrus having a function called PushActorAway and that was it. It was one of my quickest mods to make. Even with adding player dialogue and making a video for the mod it took me around a week. I quickly showed it to Gopher and I was so happy he even covered it in a Mod Vault video. He really seemed to enjoy the mod a lot. These are the moments that motivate me the most.
It's these moments when you wonder why it wasn't thought of by the developers themselves, easy to implement and infinitely useful. Do you have any pet hates in the game? Things that really grind your gears?
Basically, I'm a completionist. Especially when it comes to huge open-world games. So because of that, what really bothers me the most when I can't finish a quest, recruit a unique settler, loot a certain legendary item or reach maximum level in a skill just because of the many minor bugs throughout the game. Thank god there are console commands! And of course starting to mod the game helped too.
Do you have any ideas for future releases? Can you give us a sneak peek into what you have in store?
By the time this interview goes out Transfer Settlements should be released finally. I've been working on that mod for 2 months now and it's by far my most anticipated mod to date. It gives you the possibility to export settlement data into external files, and import them back to any savegames of any characters, or publish these blueprint data files on Nexus pretty much the same way as LooksMenu or BodySlide presets. I will also release a Win32 tool that will allow you to convert exported blueprints to standalone mods that do not require Transfer Settlements or F4SE. These generated plugins will have the single feature of only importing that blueprint, adding the settlement to your game. That way these generated mods can be uploaded as XB1 mods to Bethesda.net as well.
Another long-awaited project of mine is the real-time hair and beard growing mod. It doesn't require much explanation, it will work pretty much like the beard growing mechanism in The Witcher 3 except it will add hair growing as well for both male and female characters. I'm planning to finish up that mod after Transfer Settlements.
Those who follow me on social media might have noticed that I was also working together with the ShoddyCast for months on an interactive Storyteller radio and lore database. This is a huge and very exciting project, and the basic idea is to create a radio station with all 75 Storyteller episodes, around 100 lore-friendly commercials as well as lore-friendly cooking recipes and archive historical footage that teaches the player about different parts of the Boston area. The radio will always dynamically react to player actions: enemies encountered, looted items, active quests, locations, NPCs, etc - always trying to play relevant ST episodes, commercials or educational stuff. Some of the radio content will be locked by default to not give away spoilers and can be unlocked by progressing through the game, thus building a lore database in a holotape form as a result where the player can initiate the playback of any unlocked content from the radio. The ShoddyCast's Psycho episodes will also be included as Easter Eggs that can be unlocked by finding various items throughout the Commonwealth.
Another radio-related project is the Pip-Man 3000, a complete Pip-Boy radio overhaul that features volume controls and the possibility to play any songs or even schedule or discard multiple tracks in a radio. This should be compatible with all vanilla radios as well as the most popular radio mods on Nexus.
I also had plans such as a working Mad Max 2-style gyrocopter as a vehicle mod, an immersion mod that adds scars and bruises to the player's face dynamically during combat, and a weapon mod that adds a Batman-style grappling hook.
A lot of your mods are based on companions and followers, is this particular type of mod something that takes your interest?
Actually the largest portion of my mods are radios which is easy to miss if you check my profile on Nexus since none of those are uploaded by me haha. I made Kooky Radio with Skinnytecboy, GTKYMA Radio with Darren (DDProductions83) and I became tech lead in Brandoman's Old World Radio - Boston project when it had around 10 radio stations. Now we have 30. I also helped Casey with the first iteration of WRVR.
But yeah, I'm certainly not denying I love companions, one of the few things I believe Fallout 4 did better than earlier Bethesda titles are followers, their backstories, and the affinity system. One of the reasons I got so addicted to Fallout 4 is that I wanted to reach maximum affinity with all of them. Constantly checking their current affinity in console made me realize I need this fixed, so I learned how to decompile, modify and recompile Papyrus scripts and Visible Companion Affinity was born. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how quickly my second mod became a hot file.
Then 8 months later I made a mod to shove them to the clouds haha.
Have you created all your mods yourself or do you have to call on fellow mod authors or friends to help you out?
Lately, as I was struggling with the implementation of my very first F4SE plugin I got huge amounts of help from Expired6978 and registrator2000. I'm also very lucky that last year I was accepted in a small group chat of some of the most talented and helpful mod authors. I want to mention ousnius, jonwd7 and Skinnytecboy, they helped me with a lot of issues since I had the pleasure to get to know them.
I'm always open for collaborations with other mod authors, the radio mods I mentioned are good examples, but I have plenty of projects to finish on my own as well.
What software suites do you use to create your mods?
I almost never use the Creation Kit for the kind of mods I make. I don't really need to change celldata, put objects in the game world with the editor or create complicated dialogue trees. I completely understand why the CK is important, I just don't need it for my mods. I'm much more comfortable using xEdit to create plugins, not to mention how important xEdit's scripting possibilities are for me. There were many times I had to edit hundreds if not thousands of game records and I simply can't imagine doing that without xEdit scripts.
For Papyrus scripting I'm using Notepad++ with Papyrus script extensions. I usually compile my codes with Caprica or sometimes with the Creation Kit's command line compiler. Occasionally I use Python scripts with Notepad++ on my Papyrus scripts if more complicated text replacements are needed.
I use NifSkope and Outfit Studio if I need to alter meshes, 3ds Max if I need to create new things, Photoshop for texture work, Adobe Flash for creating new sprite animations like new HUD elements and a lot of Visual Studio 2012 lately for C++ and F4SE stuff.
Have you ever modded for Skyrim or Skyrim SE as all your mods on Nexus Mods are based around Fallout 4?
No, I haven't. When SSE came out last year I felt like this is my chance to finally mod Skyrim as well. But, by that time I had so many ongoing FO4 projects, I still haven't got to modding Skyrim. Lately, I'm more hyped to try modding The Witcher 3, but that doesn't mean I've given up modding Skyrim.
Actually, I got multiple requests to port over my Push Away mod. Even though Skyrim obviously has Fus Ro Dah it seems people still want this "harmless" way of shoving NPCs on Skyrim as well. I also believe there's no reason for the real-time hair growing to be a FO4 exclusive either.
Do you have any mod authors who inspire you? Have you seen any mods recently where you have said "I wish I had thought of that?"
Pretty much everything by fadingsignal. I'm not at all envious I just think he has amazing mod ideas.
But in the very beginning, I was most inspired by Darren (DDProductions83) which is funny cause I believe we have absolute opposite personalities. But his mods were great, very unique and much needed, always showed a high level of skills, and his idea of creating the "Get To Know Your Mod Author (GTKYMA)" podcast series was spot-on. I remember always listening to the latest episodes while modding and wishing that maybe someday I will be one of those mod authors who he would consider having an interview with. (So you can imagine how I feel about this interview right now as well.) So "I got to know my mod authors" through Darren's podcast and I became a big admirer of the amazing quality and presentation of Elianora's and fadingsignal's mods.
Later, while still having time to actually play the game, some of registrator2000's mods became essential to my game such as the Outfit Switcher. His mods are always so innovative and inspiring, not to mention he always uploads his source codes so others can learn by studying them.
Much like reg2k's mods, everything Expired6978 does are also game changers. He is an extremely talented and very smart mod author also working on F4SE, so I'm always looking forward to the innovative mods he comes up with.
Last but not least I'm also a huge fan of Skinnytecboy's hilarious companion mods.
Talking of FadingSignal, I'm having a chat with him at the moment - is there anything you would like to ask him?
Actually, he was the one who invited me to that group chat I mentioned. We last spoke yesterday. He helped me with explosions, I helped him with radios.
Your mods have always been well received, but have you had to deal with any negative criticism?
Not really, no. The rudest comments always come from people offended by some radio content. Like jokes about a president named 'Drumpt' in West Vault Radio. Or the term 'gopnik' in Gopnik Radio's title being a social slur in Russian. I don't really get these types of offensive comments. I mean people can be offended by almost anything, I get that part, but they're always welcome to not use a mod in a video game.
Is there any feature you would like to see implemented on Nexus Mods that you feel would benefit our community?
I can think of two things right now.
The first one actually came from Gopher if I remember correctly. There was this huge thread not long ago about YouTube reviews and mod authors who don't like their mods being reviewed by others who make money off of their work. And the idea was to add a feature that allows you to flag your mod pages whether you like your mods being reviewed or not. Me personally, I don't mind YouTube reviews at all. I think of it as a symbiosis between mod authors and YouTube reviewers. Modders get more exposure in exchange for the free content they provide for video content creators.
But I can understand the viewpoint of others who don't think of this the same way and with a feature like this, they could notify YouTubers that they don't want their mods being used in this fashion. And as a result, YouTubers could do their mod searches with a filter and only review mods made by authors who are happy with this concept.
Another cool feature, in my opinion, would be an early access type of user right to certain mod pages. Mod authors would be able to grant access to certain users before releasing their mods thus inviting whoever they want to test their mods in earlier stages before releasing it to the public. This way testers would be able to see the mod page with all the essential instructions and use the Bugs section or the comments to help mod authors fixing issues before the initial release.
If you could only install 10 mods to your Fallout 4 installation what would they be?
- True Storms by fadingsignal
- Unlimited Companion Framework by Expired6978
- Achievements by Expired6978
- Outfit Switcher by registrator2000
- Infinite Settlement Budget by DDProductions83
- Shaikujin's Better Alerts
- DEF_UI by Neanka, Valdacil, Old Nick, ParasiteX and sekoms
- Valdacil's Item Sorting
- Full Dialogue Interface by Cirosan and shadwar
- Old World Radio - Boston
If you could offer any advice to up and coming mod authors what would they be?
Have a LOT of patience. Prepare for a huge amount of trial and fails. 90% of the time you spend on modding is about that. That's why it's very time-consuming. And that's why it requires an extreme amount of dedication.
Know the game, play the game for at least 100 hours before trying to mod something. Don't start modding without having a good idea about what you want to mod. After playing the game for awhile, you will know exactly what you want to change, fix or add to the game, and if you feel you have enough dedication, you are ready to find out how to do it.
Try learning as much as you can on your own. Only ask others if you feel you tried everything and still don't make progress. There are a good amount of great tutorials out there by modders like Eli, fading, also Kris Takahashi started his Mod SCKool series recently. Everything you need in order to start modding is out there, all you need is the ability to find things on the internet. At least for the basics.
Mod authors are much more helpful if they see you did your homework, found out everything you could on your own and only need someone to point you in the right direction. You should never expect a mod author to spoon-feed you with information that a google search can give you in the form of a video tutorial.
Once you've learned the basics I believe there are three main pillars for a mod to be successful, and they are equally important in my opinion: a good idea, the quality of implementation and the quality of presentation.
If you did a great job implementing your mod and your mod page looks awesome but the mod has been done by dozens before you no one will care.
If you have a great idea and great presentation, a lot will download your mod but if it's not tested thoroughly, people will be disappointed and you will spend the next couple of weeks fixing bugs.
And if your mod is a solid, original idea, and your implementation is spotless but your mod description consists of three sentences, no one will notice your work.
So to sum up: patience, dedication, patience, learning as much as you can on your own, patience, good ideas, patience, quality of implementation and presentation. And did I mention patience?
Thank you ever so much for talking to me, I wish you all the best in your future mods.
Thank you, Paul! I really appreciate this opportunity and looking forward to the next interviews in this awesome series.

Wayne's disdain for the slick swill that passes for real deal country is well known. Like he's fond of saying: "Man, I'm like a stab wound in the fabric of country music in Nashville. See that bloodstain slowly spreading? That's me."
"Artists like Wayne "The Train" Hancock aren't just singing those songs—they're living them just like many of us."
"Hancock, who tosses out a roots mix of old country, roadhouse blues, western dance swing, boogie bop, and straight-up Rockabilly, takes what was once old and makes it seem like it's always been and always will be."
"The country music scene could do with a lot more characters like Wayne, who push the music's limits while staying truer to its roots than any well-known names associated with the genre today."

Israeli military threat against Iran is 'empty rhetoric'
Latest update : 2011-11-07
Israeli President Shimon Peres warned on Sunday that a pre-emptive attack on Iran's nuclear facilities was becoming more likely. FRANCE 24 talked to a military intelligence expert who explained that he remains skeptical about Israel's threats.
Israel has dramatically raised the stakes against Iran, stating that a military strike on Tehran's nuclear facilities was increasingly likely in a dramatic build-up in rhetoric ahead of the publication of a key report by the UN atomic watchdog agency.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is due to release an intelligence report regarding Iran's alleged efforts to make nuclear weapons on Tuesday or Wednesday with speculation mounting in the media as to its content. Israeli President Shimon Peres warned on November 6 that "the possibility of a military attack against Iran is now closer to being applied than the application of a diplomatic option".
As the world braces for the next IAEA report, FRANCE24.com spoke to Alain Rodier, an expert on military intelligence at the Paris-based think tank CF2R, to ask him whether the latest Israeli threats were genuine.
FRANCE24: Do you think the Israeli threat to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities is credible?
Alain Rodier: Israel's military threat against Iran is empty rhetoric; we've heard it several times before. Israeli leaders had planned to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities in November 2010 but they were deterred by the US.
That doesn't mean that we should not take seriously all these Israeli warnings. But we need to remain cautious with that kind of talk as both countries are engaged in a psychological war.
F24: So Israel is not likely to carry out its threat to bomb Iran?
AR: If the Israelis decided to go ahead, it would face several logistical problems. First, the Israeli military would need to locate Iran's nuclear facilities, which have been spread out all over the country. Several nuclear sites are believed to be buried deep underground, making them hard to spot. Israeli strikes are unlikely to destroy Iran's nuclear capacity and resolve the issue…They would only succeed in setting back Iran's nuclear programme a few years.
There is also a real diplomatic risk for Israel. Western countries have always favoured international sanctions and diplomatic pressure to press Iran to ditch its uranium-enrichment programme. Israeli leaders are aware that they won't get any support from the Americans, who are don't agree with this strategy and don't want to jeopardise their relations with their Arab allies.
F24: Do you think that an Israeli strike would have irreversible consequences for the region?
AR: Yes, of course. Tehran has the capability to set the Middle East ablaze by mobilising its regional allies. Hezbollah could strike back in northern Israel, and Hamas - armed by Iran - could stir up troubles in southern Israel. This threat of retaliation is compounded by the risk of terrorist attacks or suicide bombings from the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad.
Iran's threats against Israel are also empty rhetoric. An Iranian attack would be seen as a declaration of war and Israel would not hesitate to retaliate with overwhelming force. This is a typical "balance of terror" situation where neither of the two countries would dare to strike first.

GamesIndustry- Activision investors have become bearish. Analysts discuss the publisher's prospects
Activision stock is now trading at about $10.75, about 15 percent down from its peak earlier this year. The stock dropped after Activision's earnings report, where the company beat estimates and raised its forecast for the year to a record level, but warned that 2013 results would not be as good. Logically, better earnings should mean the stock price would rise, but investors seem to be bearish on Activision's long-term prospects.
this really makes no sense to me. how can you have some of the biggest properties in the gaming industry but have your stock hit a low point? something ain't right here.
Well, well, well, was the gimped PS3 version of COD and the less than stellar version on the Vita a 'smash and grab' situation?
They can't develop games on ps3. This is a fact. I bought back ops 2 on ps3/360 and installed the texture pack on the ps3. The sad part is that when I played it I thought the textures had to load still. Boy was I wrong. The 360 looks a million times better than the ps3. Don't buy the ps3 version. A better way to say this..... (Don't support a port)(don't support a port)

For twelve years now, the Fast and Furious franchise has been steadily ratcheting up the insanity of the action in the films. Also growing and changing in those twelve years has been Jordana Brewster's Mia Torreto. The character started as the girl-next-door love interest for Paul Walker's Brian, but over the course of six films has grown to become just as bad ass as the boys. In Fast and Furious 6, out Friday, Mia returns as a wife and mother who will do anything to protect her family, all while flipping the idea of what a damsel in distress is capable of.
We sat down to talk with Jordana about the Fast and Furious films, working with director Justin Lin, and the potential future for her cult hit D.E.B.S.
Nerdist: Fast and Furious 6 was set in London. How was it to get to go back there? You grew up for a little bit in London, correct?
Jordana Brewster: I did, I grew up here. Well, I got really lucky, because I grew up in Brazil as well, and we shot there. I also grew up in London from the age of one to six. I looked at my old school and went to my old building where I used to live. So, it's been fun.
N: So, Fast and Furious 7 takes place at Yale (Brewster's alma mater)?
JB: (Laughs) No…. Actually, that could be fun.
N: So Fast and Furious is becoming your version of This is Your Life?
JB: That's kind of how I felt during the opening credits of this one. They had all of these snippets from all the different movies, so it was definitely a walk down memory lane. I felt that since this is Justin's last installment of the franchise, it was kind of like an ode to him as well.
N: You've worked with Justin through several films. He's the one that pushed for everybody coming back and oversaw this great arc for your character through several films. How do you feel about him saying goodbye?
JB: I owe Justin so much. I love him so much. I trust him completely. We were actually shooting reshoots for Annapolis in London and he was talking about doing Tokyo Drift. I told him, "Man, you have to do it. It's so perfect." It feels like we've come full circle.
N: Your character has had the most significant changes and growth throughout the series, but is still the moral center of the crew. How was it seeing the script and understanding that you play a hugely pivotal part of the film, but you would be absent for a huge portion of the movie?
JB: Well, we were shooting Dallas at the same time, so it kind of worked out great. So I was shooting Dallas and then I would get on a plane, hop over to London and shoot a couple scenes. The fact that she's not in it quite as much because she's at home with the baby really worked to my benefit.
N: Without giving away too much of how it all ends, the final act of the film really brings you back into the picture. The scenes are a great example of the heightened reality that Justin has created for this world. As your character got more integrated into the action in the recent additions to the series, what have you gotten to do that maybe you weren't able to in earlier films?
JB: This one was really fun. I did a lot more green screen, which is fun. Again, it involved so much trust in your director. That ending sequence is so intricate and there are so many moving parts. Justin would be like, "Okay, in your rear view mirror you see Tyrese hanging from a car and you see this…." When you see it all come together, it's so satisfying.
N: One aspect to your character that was very compelling is how easily Mia could have been a Damsel in Distress.
JB: Absolutely.
N: In Mia's case, the moment she can, she gets involved. She is actively figuring out where she can help take down the bad guy. What are your impressions on getting to play that kind of strong character?
JB: That's really Justin's input. He was so intent on having his female characters be really strong. He even said when I was coming up to Luke Evans character in the plane… I was playing fear and Justin said, "Be strong." When I saw the movie, it all made so much sense to me, because that guy slighted my family and wronged us. It just seemed like completely the right attitude to have. Justin had the movie in his head, and he realizes that.
N: You seem to have a lot of faith and trust in Justin. Do you hand over that kind of faith with all of your directors, or is that something that comes with working together so many times?
JB: It definitely depends on the project. A director has to earn that trust. The fact that Justin and I have done now Annapolis, Fast 4, Fast 5, and now Fast 6; I've had a lot of experience with him and I know that he's a guy you can definitely trust, but sometimes it's really hard to take that leap of faith. So directors definitely have to earn it.
N: Switching gears a little bit, we're big fans of D.E.B.S.
JB: Oh, cool!
N: Erasure is still stuck in our heads because of you.
JB: Oh, I know, right?
N: With your experience on Dallas now and with all of the films getting big boosts on Kickstarter, do you think the the world is ready for the return of Lucy Diamond?
JB: I DO! I retweet it every time I see it on Twitter, I talk to Angela about it. I think it would be so much fun.
N: If they picked up the story, Lucy would be a good guy?
JB: We'll see how long she could last. I don't think she could last that long as a good guy.
N: You've shown a lot of versatility, but it seems you've only gotten to show off your comedy chops a few times. Do you have anything coming up that lets you work those muscles?
JB: As soon as I'm done here, right after the premiere, I go to New Orleans to shoot this movie North of Hell, which is a dark comedy with Patrick Wilson and Katherine Heigl. I go completely outside of my comfort zone in terms of the character I'm playing. And that's more my sense of humor, dry and dark… and a little bit twisted.
N: Are there any other genre projects you'd want to do?
JB: I would love to be a part of Batman or Spider-man. Actually, Iron Man is my favorite, so that would probably be my first choice.
Fast and Furious 6 is in theaters now. You can find out more about the making of the film in our interviews with actress Gina Carano.

Directional TOPO® cloning
Directional TOPO® cloning enables cloning of blunt-ended PCR products in a 5´→3´ orientation directly into a expression vector using a 5-minute ligation reaction, thereby eliminating subcloning steps and saving you time.
Directional TOPO® cloning vectors contain a single-strand GTGG overhang on the 5´ end and a blunt end on the 3´ end. The four-nucleotide overhang invades the double-strand DNA of the PCR product and anneals to the CACC sequence that you place in your 5´ primer. Topoisomerase I then ligates the PCR product in the correct orientation.
With Directional TOPO® Cloning Expression Kits, you will:
- Save time - TOPO® cloning of your PCR product takes just five minutes
- Obtain efficient cloning results - recombinant clones (>90%) will be in the correct orientation for expression (Figure 1)
- Achieve high-level expression - vectors carry powerful promoters for expression in E coli or mammalian cells

St. Marys bats stay sizzling in 9-2 win over Elida
ST. MARYS — The St. Marys baseball team has its own full-service restaurant going.
"They're settting the table and clearing off the table right now," St. Marys head coach Jeff Dieringer said after his team surged to 12-1 on the season on Monday.
Lead-off hitter Tristan Becker went 4 for 4 with three runs scored and two runs batted in while clean-up man Isaac Fitzgerald went 3 for 4 with two doubles and four RBIs on Monday night in a 9-2 Western Buckeye League victory over Elida at K.C. Geiger Park.
Fitzgerald is 11 for his last 14 at the plate with 12 runs batted in over those four games. Becker followed up a game on Saturday in which he drove in four with a perfect night from the plate on Tuesday.
"It's a credit to them not changing their approach," Dieringer said. "They're looking for fastballs to hit. They're getting them and putting the bat on the ball and it's really been a pick-up for our offense with those two guys.
St. Marys' strong string of starting pitching continued with six solid innings from Brandon Coffey, who gave up two unearned runs while striking out four and walking two.
Marshall Lininger pitched another scoreless inning of relief.
Nathan Wilker went 3 for 4 with an RBI and three runs scored. Nathan Vogel had a hit and an RBI. Mason Gross added an RBI hit.Zack Wilker, Josh Young and Kyle Kiefer each had a hit.
St. Marys took a 1-0 lead in the first on a Gross bounding single up the middle that brought home Becker, who tripled to lead off the bottom of the first.
Elida briefly tied the game in the top of the second on a bunt RBI single by Riley Overholt.
St. Marys took the lead for good in the third with a two-run double by Fitzgerald up the alley in left center that scored Becker and Nathan Wilker for a 3-1 lead.
Becker then tripled in Kyle Kiefer for a 4-1 advantage in the fourth. Nathan Wilker brought Becker home with a two-out RBI double down the left field line for a 5-1 lead. Fitzgerald followed with an RBI single to left.
Becker blooped in an RBI single to score Austin Quellhorst, who pinch hit and reached on a fielders' choice in the fifth for a 7-1 advantage.
Coffey extricated the Riders out of a bases loaded jam with one out with a strikeout and after an RBI single by Austin Morrison, a flyout to center.
"That's just maturity," Dieringer said. "He didn't let it rattle him. In innings he got the first guy, he cruised. In innings the first guy reached, it was tough and he picked himself up and battled."
Fitzgerald doubled home Nathan Wilker in the sixth. Nathan Vogel added a sacrifice fly to drive in Fitzgerald for a 9-2 lead.
St. Marys has big WBL games with Bath, Celina and Defiance looming. Dieringer said for his team to get through it, the Riders will need to keep putting the bat on the ball throwing strikes.
"It sounds cliche, but that's our game. We're not striking out ten per game, we're pitching to contact and playing defenseand we're not striking out at the plate. If we do that, we'll be fine."

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jail officials say the man charged with holding three women captive and raping them over a decade in his Cleveland house is no longer seen as a suicide risk.
Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County jail spokesman John O'Brien says 52-year-old Ariel Castro has been taken off "suicide prevention" watch. There was no immediate elaboration on the reason for the change.
Castro has been locked up since he was arrested May 6, shortly after three women emerged from his house and said they had been held captive.
Castro's attorneys say he will plead not guilty.
Jail logs released Wednesday show Castro watches a lot of television and has met with his defense attorneys.
When he asked to take a shower, he got permission and his cell was checked for contraband. None was found.

RTC Conference Primers: #5 – Big 12Posted by Brian Goodman on November 2nd, 2011
Steve Fetch of Rock Chalk Talk is the RTC correspondent for the Big 12. You can find him on Twitter @fetch9.
Reader's Take I
Top Storylines
- This is of course the last year for Texas A&M to leave its mark on the Big 12, and it could be Missouri's as well. Both teams enter the 2011-12 season with serious conference title hopes, but each comes with some question marks. Missouri lost Laurence Bowers to an ACL injury, which really puts a strain on their interior depth. They didn't rebound terribly well in the first place, ranking 317th nationally in defensive rebounding, and the loss of the 6'8" Bowers, who was their best returning player on the glass, won't help. A&M meanwhile still has Khris Middleton, but do they have anyone to get him the ball? Dash Harris had a turnover rate of almost 30% last year and an assist rate of only 21%
- Speaking of those two, the Big 12 has four new coaches this year, with Texas Tech and Oklahoma joining A&M and Missouri as teams with new head men. The Big 12 hasn't had this many new coaches since 2007 when six of the twelve schools had first-year men on the job. I took a look at how coaches in the Big 12 have done in their first year on the job and compared it with the historical performances of the programs who have new coaches at the helm this season, and it looks like all four could be in for rough times initially.
- Kansas has won at least a share of the last seven Big 12 titles, but in order or the Jayhawks to make it eight, Bill Self will have to do his best coaching job yet. He lost both the Morris twins and Josh Selby to the NBA, as well as the underrated Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar to graduation. What's more, incoming freshmen Ben McLemore, Jamari Traylor and Braeden Anderson were all deemed ineligible. Kansas still has some talent to work with, especially Thomas Robinson, who had a tremendous summer.
Predicted Order of Finish
- Kansas (14-4)
- Baylor (13-5)
- Missouri (13-5)
- Texas A&M (12-6)
- Oklahoma State (10-8)
- Texas (9-9)
- Iowa State (7-11)
- Kansas State (5-13)
- Oklahoma (4-14)
- Texas Tech (3-15)

EU fires 12 million pages at Google Books
At last, the 1953 Report on the Activities of the Community - in French
The European Union has delivered a killer blow to Google's Book scanning powergrab by dumping two million pages of historic Euro documents onto the web.
Brussels has long been irked by Google's effort to scan the world's stock of the printer word, egged on sceptics like Angela Merkel. And the French.
It has thrown its backing behind efforts to do similar, but based on European technology and with a European twist on privacy and IP protection.
But it is undoubtedly the prospect of intellectuals worldwide plugging into 12 million pages of historic Eurobureauspeak, in 110,000 publications, that lay the foundations of the Euro culture Atlantic Wall against the Google Tide.
More recent documents, on the likes of as the ins and outs of the bolus-based tagging system for sheep or the Brussels edict on not eating your own horse, are already served up online.
But as the EU's release says, "The Publications Office's archives have long represented a veritable treasure trove of European history."
Wannabe Eurocrats will be able to thrill to "Publications such as the address delivered by Mr Jean Monnet, President of the High Authority before the Common Assembly at the first session of September 1952 or the General Report on the activities of the Community in French from 1953".
New publications will be added everyday, which in the words of Leonard Orban, Commissioner for multilingualism, means: "The digital library frees the memory of the European Union tied to paper since its beginning."
Of course, this will all be available in the 23 official languages of the Union. ®
