Resistance to heat stress is under genetic control
One of the major factors limiting optimal production and profitability in Florida is heat stress. During the summer, cows experience declines in milk yield of 15 to 20 percent and reduction in conception rate to values as low as 10 percent. Recent research supported by the Southeast Milk Inc. Dairy Checkoff Program indicates that a cow's ability to regulate its body temperature and prevent the negative effects of heat stress on cow function is determined in part by its genetics. What that means is that it should be possible to select cows genetically that are more resistance to the effects of heat stress. FULL STORY »

Virginia Tech wins Clery Act appeal
- Judge finds VT's actions on April 16, 2007, complied with federal law, vacates fines –
RICHMOND (March 30, 2012) – In a decision released late yesterday, the chief administrative law judge of the U.S. Department of Education found that Virginia Tech had complied with federal law in its response to the initial April 16, 2007, shootings on campus, and as a result, he vacated the $55,000 in fines that had previously been assessed against the university by the U.S. Department of Education.
The fines had been imposed under the federal Clery Act, which imposes certain conditions on colleges and universities, including requiring them to issue timely warnings to their campuses when certain crimes are committed on campus and certain other conditions are met. The judge found yesterday that the act applied to the initial shootings of two students at Virginia Tech on April 16, but also found that the campus-wide e-mails issued by Virginia Tech's emergency policy group were sent in a timely manner and met the act's warning requirements.
"While we will always mourn for those who lost their lives on that terrible day in 2007, we are pleased the judge recognized that Virginia Tech's response fully complied with the law," said Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, whose office argued the appeal for the school. "We have maintained from the beginning that Virginia Tech's notification to the campus community met all of requirements of the Clery Act, and we are glad the judge agreed. For us, this appeal was not about the fines as much as it was about the arbitrary way the U.S. Department of Education tried to apply the law against a school that responded reasonably while an unforeseen and unprecedented crime was occurring on campus."
The judge's decision can be found here.
A statement from Virginia Tech is here.

JUSTIN BIEBER attended Thursday's Clippers game with point guard CHRIS PAUL's 4-year-old son, CHRISTOPHER.
How cute!
Justin Bieber attended Thursday's basketball game between the L.A. Clippers and Boston Celtics, but this time he wasn't sitting—and kissing—his girlfriend.
The Grammy-snubbed pop star, who was obviously rooting for the Los Angeles team, hung out with the hometown team's point guard Chris Paul's 4-year-old son, Christopher, this time and let the little tyke watched the game while sitting on his lap.
After the game, Paul tweeted to thank the Biebs, writing:
"You have NO clue the smile that you put on lil Chris face 2nite…really appreciate you man!! He does not know what to do lol."
The athlete continued:
"The first thing he said to me after the game was not good game Daddy…it was 'Daddy I saw Justin Beiber, he's my friend' haaa. Made his day!!!"
Justin wrote back, saying:
"Anytime buddy."
Looks like Beliebers will know where the next idol sighting will be—courtside at the next Clippers game!

Found January 19, 2013 on The Football Fan Spot:
PLAYERS: Andy Dalton, Geno Atkins, Carlos Dunlap, Reggie Nelson, Michael Johnson, Leon Hall, Terence Newman, Matt Ryan, Trent Williams, Rey Maualuga, Vontaze Burfict, Robert Geathers, Manny Lawson, Thomas Howard, Taylor Mays, Nate Clements, Chris Crocker, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Bernard Scott, Brian Leonard, Andre Smith, Anthony Collins, Josh Brown, Mike Nugent, Kevin Huber, Brandon Tate
TEAMS: Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, Washington Redskins
TEAMS: Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, Washington Redskins
Andy Dalton gets a lot of credit for the Bengals' recent success. After all, a mere 2nd round pick rookie in 2011, Dalton took over a Bengals team that was 4-12 in 2010 and took them to the playoffs in back-to-back years for the first time since 1981-1982. However, he doesn't deserve nearly as much credit as this defense. Dalton has led this offense to 22.9 points per game in his first 2 seasons combined, which is an improvement over the 20.1 they scored in 2010, but not significantly. Meanwhile, their defense has gone from allowing 24.7 points per game in 2010 to allowing 20.1 points per game over the last 2 seasons, boasting a top-10 scoring defense in each year (while the offense has ranked 18th and 12th). This year, they actually had one of the worst defenses in the league through the first 8 games, a 3-5 start that included a home loss to Miami. However, they went 7-1 the rest of the way up until the playoffs, thanks to the #1 ranked scoring defense in the 2nd half of the seaso...

Where I'm reviewing support for encryption in the context of IaaS|PaaS|SaaS cloud service offerings as well as concerning Hadoop.

Apparently Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are getting married. For real. They haven't broken up. He isn't too cool for her. She isn't morphing herself into Gisele. They will be husband and wife. I feel as if we've been planning (or cancelling) this wedding for ages. But now there's a date. Well, a month in which the date will happen. And it's this June.
Aww. I always took Jennifer for a June bride. She was a July bride to Brad by the way. She can have peonies in June. My favorite flower. Love is in the air! Let's get these two married so the divorce rumors can start. And let's also talk about their very strange choice in wedding officiants.
It's Oprah. That's what the rumors are. Oprah will be officiating the marriage of Jen and Justin. WHAT?! My feelings toward Oprah aside -- she's an odd choice to marry these two, don't you think? Justin is just way too brooding and hip and outsider-y and indie and all anti-mainstream that you'd think they have someone different marry them. But Oprah? She's, well, OPRAH!
The other details emerging about this union is that they are taking a minimalist approach to their nuptials and will only have around 100 guests at Jen's Los Angeles home for the subdued event, which will feature a seven-course meal. Hmmm. Nothing modest about that considering Jen's LA home is a mansion. And ... OPRAH IS MARRYING THEM. I wonder if Bill Murray said no. Don't you think he'd make a great officiant? And he's way cooler to perform this wedding. Maybe he's busy preparing to marry Angie and Brad. Ouch.
What do you think of Jen and Justin's June wedding? Will it be a go? What do you think of Oprah marrying them?
Image via Splash
If this couple are happy then it doesn't matter what I think. What I do think is that you writers and the rest of the media can't wait for these two to get married so you can all begin to speculate about the divorce. Since Jen has already been reported to be pregnant about 20 times and broken up another 10 or 15 times, it is clear that actual fact has nothing to do with what is written about her life.

Your countless long weeks of waiting are over! So let's not wait any longer… click the link, watch the movie, and ENJOY!
Last minute tweaks and a spaceship!
Exactly one week remains until the deadline for the final edit of Empty Space arrives! But don't worry, because we are very much on track. We've more or less got a finished edit at this stage, with just some last minute tweaks being made as well as experimenting with some different ambient tracks to create the right eerie mood for the film. We have our footage of the interior of the spaceship (which looks amazing and took over 12 hours to render!) and the outside of the spaceship will be rendered out over this weekend. While I would love to show you how amazing out CGI is looking, I'm going to have to keep it secret as is it the big reveal at the end of the film, so in the meantime you'll just have to take my word for it ;)
Disaster averted!
I've just recently learnt a very valuable lesson: always back up your files. I made the very embarrassing mistake of NOT having backed up my files, and so when my hard drive started playing up and ejected itself whilst I was working on the film, it corrupted the file. And the edit was gone. And I nearly died. But don't worry! I've more or less got it back up to where it was, and it was much quicker the second time around. Phew.
Anyway, I should have a completed edit by Wednesday. And maybe I'll put together another trailer before then. Plus stay tuned for some more stills!
See you soon!

Israel and Lebanon have more pressing concerns than war with each other, but bickering could escalate to incite war if the US and Europe don't help.
New York
Lebanon finally has a new government after five months of political bickering. But Western policymakers should not shift their attention away from this small country that has been the staging ground of proxy wars in the Middle East.
The new US-backed Prime Minister Saad Hariri will share power with the Shiite militant group Hezbollah and its allies. When Mr. Hariri's coalition won parliamentary elections in June, a seductive conventional wisdom emerged in the West: Because Hezbollah and its partners were defeated at the polls, the group would lose some of its luster and a pro-US alliance would rule Lebanon.
In fact, Hezbollah remains the dominant military and political force. It holds the key to both domestic and external stability in Lebanon.
Hariri's government will have no influence over Hezbollah's militia and its weapons buildup along Lebanon's southern border with Israel – the most volatile border in the Middle East today. If there is renewed conflict along the border, it could be a catastrophic setback for stability in the region. The United States and Europe must ensure that does not happen.

As promised, it's time to reveal another song that will be included on the upcoming CD. BUT FIRST:
Ryan, my boyfriend, is in Cabo this week and I have the honor of watching his ten month old puppy, Henry. Henry has one of the cutest faces. He is an adorable Silky and on occasion, him and Billy, my five year old Bichon, get along beautifully. The problem ? He has pee'd inside three times already. I've walked him ten times yesterday, stopped giving him water after 8pm and still, this morning, he pee's in his sleep. ON MY BED. So, though it pains me to do it, he will sleep in the crate every night till his father comes back home.
Ok, enough of my ranting. ;)
I cut my hair. Why is this interesting to this blog ? It's not, I just wanted to announce it. I shaved my head. Well, not completely shaved it with a bic razor or anything, but it is SHORT SHORT SHORT. I don't know what I think yet. I am sure it will grow back in very soon, but it's a nice Summer 'do for now.
Ok, so the next song to announce ....will be ...
I will be honest, I was hesitant about putting this song on the new CD but I have gotten too many incredible emails from people struggling with coming out to their families that I didn't see how I couldn't put it on.
For those of you whom didn't see my recent blog where I sang 'Blessing.' 'Blessing' is a song that I wrote after coming out to my family, asking for their, well, blessing.
So, who will be singing it on the CD you may ask ?
Well, there will be TWO performers on the CD and they will be ....
We had a rehearsal for the song this past Thursday and it is going to be incredible. I am really getting excited. I go into the studio June 9th to start laying down the band. Nerves, I tell you, nerves !!!
Ok, I will write again in two more weeks with a new song and new performer. See you all then ;)
Best, SA

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - A stimulus grant will allow the Americorps program, directed by the Albany Police Department, to offer a new program called Georgia Recovery Corps.
It focuses on job preparation skills. Americorps cadets set up shop at K-Mart to try to recruit other young people.
"Once we recruit the people, we work with them on a one-on-one basis and kind of see what services that they need. Some of their services that we offer include resume building, interview skills, application process, things of that nature," said Ciceli Brown, an Albany Americorps Cadet.
The program is free and aimed at people from 18 to 24 years of age. Anyone interested in participating can call 229-430-5304.

Novi Sad, Serbia (SportsNetwork.com) - A pairing of Marco Chiudinelli and Michael Lammer posted a big doubles victory on Saturday, as Switzerland secured a berth in the 2014 Davis Cup quarterfinals by grabbing an unassailable 3-0 lead over host Serbia in a best-of-five clash.
Chiudinelli and Lammer topped a Serbian duo of Filip Krajinovic and Nenad Zimonjic 7-6 (7-3), 3-6, 7-6 (7-2), 6-2 to send the Swiss into the round of eight.
Friday's opening singles in Novi Sad saw men's all-time Grand Slam king Roger Federer handle Serb Ilija Bozoljac 6-4, 7-5, 6-2 and world No. 3 Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka fight off Dusan Lajovic 6-4, 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (9-7) on the indoor hardcourt at Spens Sport Centre.
Unfortunately for Serbia, former world No. 1 star Novak Djokovic made himself unavailable this week, while the 32-year-old Federer, playing in an opening-round Davis Cup tie for the first time since 2005, made a last-minute decision to join Wawrinka and compete for a now-powerful Swiss team.
The Swiss are captained by Severin Luthi, while the host Serbs, who lost to the Czech Republic in last year's Davis Cup finale, are led by Bogdan Obradovic.
Switzerland, led by Federer, also topped Serbia in a World Group playoff in Geneva in 2006.
The Swiss will face the Belgium-Kazakhstan winner in April.

The name for this site came to me in a vision. I had awoken from a fitful sleep and there in my mind's eye I saw: nourish thyself. I also had an overwhelming urge to write. And so I did. Quickly, and pretty incoherently at 3am, I scrawled out the words that were forming in my mind and I eventually titled the piece: "Food, Love and the Way I Feel". I was coming out of a closet of sorts. I was telling the world my deep, dark secret.
A year has passed since that night and I have come to believe that the name for this site was also meant as a message for me.
Nourish yourself Danielle.
Give freely, but be open to receiving all the true, the good and the beautiful. Be willing to experience pleasure without apology.
Be yourself. Tell your story with honesty, humility and without expectation.
Open your mind up to divine wisdom, but remember to keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.
Offer love, kindness and compassion freely. Forgive yourself and others and ask for help in doing so.
May this site be an outlet for you and a touchstone for others. May what is expressed here be truly helpful.
And may this be another example of healing the human experience so that we all may get on with the business of Love.
Still loving the ride…it's been one hell of a year…

The Arizona Sundogs solidified their 3-1 victory over the Brampton Beast with all three of their goals tallied in the third period at the Powerade Centre.
The game remained scoreless until Brampton jumped out with an early lead with a shorthanded goal from Beast's, Brett Smith 7:55 into the second period. Moments before, a flurry of penalties were called on each team after Sundogs' players Joe Tolles, Justin Pender and Beast's Smith, Andrew Darrigo were all issued fighting majors and Beast's Steve Ward was given two minutes for slashing.
Heading into the final period and down the Sundogs battled to gain the lead and win the game. Five minutes into the period Ryan Gaucher chipped the puck past netminder, Kristofer Westblom leveling the playing field. Justin Pender scored his first goal with the Sundogs notching the game winning goal for Arizona and with seconds left in regulation Ian Schultz posted an empty net goal solidifying the Sundogs eventual 3-1 victory. Jason Morgan, Sebastian Geoffrion, Henric Hoglund and Gaucher all continued their point streak extending it to, two games.
Newly added Sundogs goaltender, Andrew Engelage registered the win for Arizona with 25 saves. Arizona was outshot by Brampton, 26-19. 15 penalty offenses were issued between both teams resulting in 42 penalty minutes.
Arizona meets Brampton for their third game in four days at the Powerade Centre before returning home for their home opener on October 25, 2013 at 7:05pm at Tim's Toyota Center.
The Arizona Sundogs are the Central Hockey League affiliate of the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes. Season tickets, mini-plan, and single-game ticket information is now available by calling (928) 759-6600 or visiting arizonasundogs.com.

Déséquilibres globaux et croissance des pays émergents dans une économie mondiale
AbstractThe last decade has been characterized by large current account de?cits in the US and by the relative growth of total factor productivity in emerging markets. This article lays down a model of a world economy where ?nancial integration between two countries (an industrial country and an emerging one) and heterogeneous ?nancial markets in these countries trigger these two facts. The key element of the mechanism is the existence of two technologies, one more productive than the other but subject to liquidity shocks. Classi?cation JEL : F36, F43, O16, O33.

Giving new meaning to "safe at home."
I'm too confused to caption this.
Hey, sports fan! Just because the housing developments in your neck of the woods all have lame names like "Prairie Stone" and "Pheasant Ridge" doesn't mean there's not a subdivision out there for you!
Osaka Stadium is a planned community unlike any other, with attractive homes actually built RIGHT INSIDE the ballpark! Houses from the low 200′s are still available, but act fast because this deal won't last.
Call 1-800-555-1212 now for our FREE BROCHURE! Operators are standing by!
Season 2 of "The Truman Show" got underway, but this time there was a new twist – the show was now taped in front of a live studio audience.
Welcome to Osaka Stadium, bringing back that good old neighborhood stickball feel.
These sorts of coddling contractual perks are ruining the game of baseball. Players don't need to feel THAT at home at the ballpark.
You guys wanna keep it down?! Crankin "Hells Bells" before the 9th is really cuttin into my rem sleep…
"you should really keep extra toilet paper handy in case Manny-san stops by to use your toilet."
This is still not registering, real or fixed? A NEW meaning to the theam " On the street were you live."

Andrew Kirpatrick just blogged on the Adobe Accessibility blog about an important upgrade we are planning for accessibility in Flash Player, AIR and Flex. Specifically, we will use IAccessible2 from the Linux Foundation and the WAI-ARIA specification from the W3C. Flash Player already implements Microsoft's MSAA API ,and IAccessible2 (IA2) is a more modern API that provides improvements to MSAA. Choosing IA2 will enable us to address user and developer needs and to ease interoperability with assistive technology vendors across all three major operating systems (Windows, Mac, and Linux). Note this is not a Flash Player 10.1 feature, but we wanted to demonstrate our commitment and identify the specific improvements we are making to improve support for the needs of computer users with disabilities. This work and related accessibility improvements are expected in the next major release* of the player.
* Yep, as always, I can't provide you with a date on that one

text: MARTIN, MI (WHTC) - Charges may be pending against an unnamed 19-year-old White Cloud man stemming from a fatal crash on southbound US-131 near Martin on Wednesday afternoon. He was driving a pickup truck that apparently veered into a parked semi on the shoulder that was disabled due to a flat tire. A passenger in the pickup, 23-year-old Zachary Oudman of Hudsonville, died at the scene; the pickup driver was taken to Bronson Hospital with minor injuries, while the unnamed semi driver, who was sitting in the cab waiting for assistance, was treated at Allegan General Hospital. Several residual collisions on US-131 resulted from this crash.

You can acknowledge the (often only partial) reality of racial, religious, and other cultural stereotypes without capitulating to them.
This past week has seen incendiary responses from Muslim protestors in Benghazi, Cairo, Sanaa, Khartoum, and other cities in the MENA in response to a poorly-produced, hyperbolic film called "Innocence of Muslims". Allegedly produced by American Coptic Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, trailers and clips were uploaded to Youtube, and were later shown on an Arabic-language television station in Egypt.
The result has been several days of rioting, particularly at or near American embassies, with coordinated attacks in Benghazi resulting in several deaths. Of particular interest to me, however, has been the complete disconnect in responses on social media and in person by Americans of differing political affiliations.
On the one hand, the somewhat-caricatured response is "but of course: Muslims are necessarily violent in ways that other religions are not". The Onion hits on this theme with an anything-but-subtle article titled No One Murdered Because Of This Image, depicting an orgy scene with Ganesh, Buddha, Jesus and Yahweh, with Mohammed/Allah notably absent. This depiction isn't without it's truth: Muslim protests over perceived blasphemy are in general less bound to a particular locale and are more likely to result in actual violence, with fatwas pronouncing death sentences on artists and writers that fall afoul of extreme religious sensibilities.
But, on the other hand, there are distinct problems with this thinking. Muslims aren't the only religion to enact violence, they're merely deemed more newsworthy than some of the alternatives, largely due to the American presence in the region and the international nature of the protests. The same sort of violence occurs in India with extremist Hindus, or in Nigeria between Christians and Muslims. Additionally, the percentage of Muslims engaged in this sort of behaviour relative to the number of Muslims worldwide is a fraction of a percent. The overwhelming majority of Muslims worldwide do not engage in such behaviour or rhetoric, and to portray them as if they were extremist both endangers Muslims in areas in which they are a minority, and serves the ends of extremist Muslim groups who wish to recruit disaffected Muslims.
There is a pattern here, and it fits a number of issues related to various sorts of identity politics; I'm calling it oppositional politics. The pattern is that as people are faced with rhetoric, beliefs or actions they find abhorrent, they react and will often react reflexively and without reflection, with the result being a differently wrong position on the other side of the political boundary.
A friend posted an article on Facebook to expose it to ridicule, and as I followed the links back, I ended up on the the John Derbyshire article that ended his career at the National Review: it was called The Talk: Nonblack Version, and it's presented as a no-bullshit, Machiavelli style insider's guide into black/white relations in America, and the implications for whites. I took my time with it, as I really wanted to understand what he was (and was not) saying, and because I find the black/white racial divide in America uniquely bizarre in the space of bizarre racial dynamics worldwide.
And I found I could empathize. Not with the specific words of advice, or with the overall objective, but I was able to see that given his assumptions why he would recommend the things he does. It was skewed in precisely the opposite way that my progressive friends tend to misrepresent facts that seem to "favour" racist interpretations; for instance, by assuming certain combinations of facts to be true with the Trayvon Martin case before anyone could know either way.
One night while driving through Kuwait on New Year's Eve with a group of friends, one of my friends realized that he did not have his paperwork/civil ID on his person. The police had set up stop-points all throughout the city, and this became a point of some concern for my friend who, while Canadian, was ethnically Nigerian. We ended up rearranging ourselves to explicitly play (positively) to the Kuwaiti police officer's racial stereotypes in order to avoid questioning at stop points. My buff Ugandan friend with a Mr. T-style mohawk drove, and I rode shotgun as the only Caucasian in the mix. The driver's brother and his friend, a clean-cut and articulate Indian, sat in the middle, and in the way back sat an Indian friend who looked like a mullah and the friend sans paperwork. The plan worked like a charm, despite a road blockade due to a bomb threat at the mall; our best guess is that the officers assumed we were American military.
That was making do within the system. But the more necessary act is transforming the system. In Kuwait, that meant standing in solidarity with abused workers, whether in desert work camps with their visas withheld, or taking shelter in embassies after experiencing physical, verbal or sexual assault. I'm still learning what it means in the U.S., but Occupy Homes MN appears to be one of many promising vectors.
We live in the discontinuous space between the post-racial land of equality that we aim for in our speech, our thoughts, our actions, and the actual world in which huge disparities in power relationships, gross historical injustices, systemic disadvantages or advantages and other such phenomena dominate the social sphere. This means that equal efforts are not met by equal results; historically disadvantaged groups may require assistance that others may not. This may mean that a corporate board makes explicit a policy to interview women for executive positions, as a way of countertraining the ingrained tendencies to only examine male candidates. It may mean additional expenditures are necessary for schools in neighborhoods blighted by social decay.
I find so-called "conservative" responses to many of these issues (women aren't fit for leadership, blacks are inherently less intelligent/more violent, Muslims are inherently violent, etc) disturbing and, frankly, abhorrent less because they're wrong, but because of the lack of imagination and the capitulation to despair that such a worldview offers. Of course, if you deny women education, you'll have a hard time finding well-educated female leaders. Of course, if American blacks were targeted for subprime mortgages after being structurally prevented from home ownership, you're going to see a disproportionate number of them in foreclosure. Of course, if extremist Muslim groups are able to recruit (something that is aided rather than hampered by American foreign policy and rampant prejudice against Muslims) they'll be able to produce followers that literally cannot understand that a film or a cartoon created by a citizen of a foreign nation does not reflect the official stance of the nation in question.
The correct response isn't to pretend that these distasteful or frustrating situations aren't real, but to strategically fight to change the incentive structures, repair the historical injustices, and build structures that stop the vicious cycles from continuing.
This is a costly endeavour. I'm struggling to find the source, now, but I read a blog several years ago written by a member of a Christian intentional community. These were middle-class, predominantly white Christians moving into a rough neighborhood to embody the grace that they believed in. The blog post was describing the events that lead to the dissolution of the group, and what stood out to me in particular was how he described the several women in the group who had been raped or sexually assaulted, purely due to the location of their communal home, and the crime rate of the neighborhood. The author of the blog post wrote frankly about the costliness of the endeavour not in order to dissuade others from making the attempt, but rather to ensure that those who did, did so in full knowledge of the costs they might incur.
Dreaming of a society made whole will not occur without sacrifice. I hope to leave my place of employment, my neighborhood, and my region more humane than I found it. Part of that means learning to accept some of the costs. Given the choice between the Machiavellian cultural "realpolitick" embodied by Derbyshire and others, and an ideologically blinded optimism, I reject the choice but recommend the latter posture; amended, however, to remove the ideological blinders and accept the costs of the gap between where hope bids us go and the ground we set our foot upon in pursuit.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
onetrueping said...
Wait. You said that the fact that Rupture crits is bad because... our crit ratings are too high? Most of the article makes a fair amount of sense, but that one is a tad confusing.
"Rupture crits based on our physical crit chance. With a Rupture-heavy build, this means that agility gems become significantly more valuable. There's only one problem: no PvE spec is particularly fond of agility."
Agility is valuable because it has both AP and Crit, right? So AP for base damage, and Crit for, well, increased crit chance. And it's common sense that, for stats that have multiple effects, you'd only take them if all those effects are useful.
"Unfortunately for Mutilate rogues, they're running into serious White Crit Cap issues in ICC gear, and adding more agility to their gear is simply exacerbating the problem."
So, the reason not to take Agility is because they are hitting the crit cap already. Which means that they shouldn't waste space on crit rating. Which means that stacking any more Crit for Rupture is simply unnecessary, because you already HAVE the Crit.
TL;DR people: Statement went "X needs Y to be useful, but we have so much Y that we can't use X."
onetrueping said...
It's not a matter of "too much crit not a good thing." It's more a matter of "this ability isn't useful because we have too much of what it needs."
I think what onetrueping is saying is that it doesn't make any sense to say "Agi is good for Rupture because it gives AP and Crit, but we have too much Crit so Rupture is bad." His argument is that if Rupture thrives on Crit and AP and rogues have reached the Crit cap then it simply makes a different gem better for Rupture (ie. AP) for rogues that have reached the Crit cap. He is simply saying that it doesn't logically lead to the conclusion that Rupture is bad because Agi is bad.
However as the article says, Rupture is bad for Mutilate because Envenom is simply way better than Rupture so the above issue doesn't really matter even though it is illogically presented in the article.
onetrueping said...
Exactly, thank you Makros. And yes, I know Envenom is better, and probably scales better as well.

Am I a Criminal?
The US government and particularly the Department of State is in the midst of a futile effort to close a barn door thrown open by WikiLeaks, which dumped an enormous collection of documents into the internet. The government is taking the position that these are still classified documents, so (1) no US official or contractor can download them unless they have the proper clearance; and (2) private individuals, e.g. students, who download such information may jeopardize their chances of future government employment.
I do not believe that the WikiLeaks dump served any larger purpose than perhaps an ego trip for Julian Assange. The messages are indiscriminate, lack context, and fail to accomplish the classic whistle-blower function of revealing unethical or criminal behavior being conducted behind closed doors.
The messages do have voyeuristic appeal. We are given a chance to peek behind the curtain of diplomatic activity and be titillated at hearing the actual words of leaders who normally talk only in diplo-speak. They also, in some cases, confirm facts that close observers suspected but could not prove.
They are, of course, embarrassing to some of the participants, and a few of the cables may in fact put at risk individuals whose identification could result in severe consequences. The latter is a measure of the indiscriminate and unprincipled nature of this vast dump of intra-government communications.
The real culprit here, however, is not a government contractor with a Confidential clearance who downloads a cable marked Secret. It is not a university student — possibly a future Foreign Service Officer — who has a chance to see what the inner workings of diplomacy actually look like.
The culprit is the government security system that utterly collapsed and permitted this unprecedented breach. The answer is to fix that system, not to criminalize those who merely receive the information in their inboxes.
Permitting us to discuss issues that have passed through the editorial processes at the New York Times or Fox News, but not to permit us to examine the original texts on which they are based is not only absurd, it is contrary to the most fundamental tenets of scholarship and research.
Note to the US government: We know this is bad for you. Don't make it worse by criminalizing everyone who studies international politics.3 years ago • 35 notes

It IS like the current system, really, just that you can now in essence earn fractions of an emblem. For example, say 1 emblem = 1000 points and you earn 4500 points for defeating a dungeon. The flexibility is nice though. You can do only what you like to do so if you hate Arena, you don't HAVE TO do it, just for the sake of competing. The point-ceiling may piss off the hard-core raiders/PVPers though.

I really am happy to see Urban Warfare, you see it in games liek COD, and stuff and killzone, but the building aren't destructable. Seeing as to how BC2 was I was really happy, and this just really blows my mind. I am upset that it is coming out right after Resistance 3 and close to Uncharted 3 and Batman Arkam City. I really hope i get the job this summer and am able to purchase the games. But that also means that I have to split me time between the games, and I am gunning for the top 10 players in kills for Resistance 3. So this is going to be hard, I was ranked 100 for a while in R2, never made it farther overall. Was ranked 1st in Meltdown for a week, thats it. ):

Encouraging Environmentally Sustainable Growth in Belgium
AbstractThis document analyses aspects of environmental policy in Belgium. Some specific examples are drawn from policies on water in the different regions that make up the Belgian Federation (to whom much environmental policy is delegated), and transport and congestion policy in the Brussels region is discussed. The system of "ecotaxes" and some inconsistencies in the structure of taxation, from the environmental point of view - for example between petrol and diesel fuel - are also covered. An important theme is the institutional complexity involved in many aspects of environmental policy. Co-ordination is necessary between regional governments and the federal government, as well as with local governments, implementing policies which are often based on EU directives ... Ce document analyse certains aspects de la politique de l'environnement en Belgique. Quelques exemples sont tirés de la politique concernant l'eau dans les différentes régions qui constituent la Belgique (auxquelles la responsabilité de la politique environnementale est déléguée), et la politique concernant les transports et les congestions dans la région de Bruxelles est discutée. Le document analyse également le système des écotaxes et certaines incohérences dans le structure de la fiscalité du point de vue de l'environnement - par exemple entre l'essence et le gazole. Un thème qui ressort est celui de la complexité institutionnelle dans de nombreux aspects de la politique environnementale. La coordination est nécessaire entre les gouvernements régionaux et le gouvernement fédéral, ainsi qu'avec les autorités locales, qui mettent en œuvre des politiques souvent fondées sur des directives de l'Union européenne ...

Fri., Feb. 1 at Dunkin' Donuts Center
Albany 1 at Providence 5
The Devils began their season-long, six-game road trip with a 5-1 setback against the Providence Bruins Friday at Dunkin' Donuts Center. The contest was the first for both teams since returning from an abbreviated All-Star break.
Tim Sestito registered his sixth goal of the season when he was setup by Bobby Butler and Harri Pesonen early in the third. Pesonen sprung an odd-man rush, and Butler found Sestito, who outlasted Providence netminder Michael Hutchinson at 3:53 of the third.
The Bruins produced the majority of their goals during a 10 minute span, which included a pair of tallies by Maxime Sauve. He opened the scoring at 18:33 of the first and made the score 3-0 at 6:11 of the second. Torey Krug and Ryan Spooner also found the back of the net. Krug scored at 19:39 of the first and Spooner tallied on the power play at 7:52 of the second. After Sestito's goal, Kyle MacKinnon capped the scoring at 16:31.
In his 27th appearance, Keith Kinkaid made 33 saves on 38 shots. At the other end, Hutchinson improved to 5-10-1 by making 20 stops on 21 attempts.
Sat., Feb. 2 at Cumberland County Civic Center
Albany 0 at Portland 2
Jeff Frazee turned aside 27 shots, but the Devils went without a goal, falling 2-0 Saturday against the Portland Pirates at Cumberland County Civic Center.
Appearing in his 15th contest, Frazee made seven saves in the first, 12 in the second and eight in the third. His performance improved his season-long goals-against average to 2.44 and his save percentage to .910.
With 22 saves, Portland's Mark Visentin earned his 10th victory and his second shutout. Providing offensive support, Chris Conner scored at 1:22 of the second period and Ethan Werek, who set up Conner's tally, found the back of the net at 7:25 of the third.
The Devils best opportunity to spoil Visentin's shutout came early in the third period. Corbin McPherson led an offensive rush and found Mike Sislo skating down the right side. He pulled up at the half wall and hit a cutting Phil DeSimone. After a shot, the rebound sat in the crease, but was cleared away before Harri Pesonen or Sislo could get their sticks on the puck.
