It will cost the average East Rockaway School Dis-trict homeowner approxi-mately $3,630 to finance the construction of two new elementary schools, accord-ing to the newly formed Citizens Committee which is against the bond issue. In a statement issued by the Citi-zens Committee, which is designed to clarify the "dis-tortions and patently mis-leading statements which bond issue proponents have been making," the economic repercussions for all district residents were outlined. Those living in a home with an average assessment ($5000) would experience a $121 yearly increase in school taxes. It was noted that most houses in the dis-trict have assessed valua-tions well in excess of $5000 and thus the tax implica-tions for these homes would be far greater than $121 a year. The Citizens Committee emphasized that this $121 payment is not a "one shot d e a l " but rather each homeowner's tax bill would be increased by $121 each and every year for 30 years. Thus it would cost each homeowner with an average assessment approximately $3,630 should the demoli-tion bond issue be passed. In the Citizens Commit-tee's statement, it was also noted that the $121 tax increase which would result from the bond issue's pas-sage is just that—a tax increase. This figure would be added to the staggering amount of school taxes which each homeowner must already pay. For example, the average home in the East Rockaway School District is assessed at $5000; if the bond issue is a p p r o v e d the average homeowner would have to add $121 to the approxi-mately $1300 he already pays in school taxes. Calling statements that declare that renovation would save the taxpayers only $34 a year "deliberate distortions," the Citizens Committee detailed how renovation would save the average homeowner $2325 in taxes. According to fig-ures presented by the Citi-zens Committee, renovation would cost the average homeowner $87 a year for 15 years. The.total cost to each (Continued on Page 4) Tempers Flare at Bond Discussion When Superintendent Michael Maiden entered the doors of the Hewlett Point Yacht Club on Thursday, November 17, he faced a crowd of over one hundred concerned residents who braved the chill winter winds to listen to Mr. Maiden's explanation of the Board's position on the bond issue. When the crowd left more than three hours later, it was with a fuller understanding of the rationale behind the Board's actions, but it was not apparent that any minds were changed. Mr. Maiden explained that the Board felt that it was in the best interests of the community to have two new school buildings rather than renovated ones. He noted that neither he nor any other members of the Board would personally gain from passage of the bond, saying, "After all, it won't be named the Michael Maiden School." Mr. Maiden's brief dis-cussion was followed imme-diately by a heated question and answer session that lasted more than two hours. Many residents asked why the Board considered such extensive work on all three buildings simultaneously rather than one at a time. Another resident posed the question, "Where did all maintenance money go?" Mr. Maiden responded that he has been involved with the schol district for only a little over a year, and was u n a b l e to a d e q u a t e ly respond. A Senior Citizen then remarked that those . on fixed incomes could be driven from their homes should this tax increase occur. She asked, "Do you realize what this does to people on fixed incomes? It's shameful!" Mr. Maiden noted that many people on fixed incomes would indeed have problems coping with a tax increase of over $120 for new school buildings. Many well-known and respected members of the East Rockaway community were on hand to express their opinions on the subject and pose questions to Mr. Maiden. Former School Board Membfers William Brown and Earl Cole repeatedly had the ifloor to either correct misconcep-tions presented or defend actions by previous school boards. Mr. Cole reminded Mr. Maiden that during the last year of Mr. Cole's ser-vice on the Board, $100,000 was budgeted for mainte-nance. "Now there is only $36,000 scheduled for the m a i n t e n a n c e of our schools," noted Cole. Mr. Leonard Polikoff, chairman of the newly Man Caught in Robbery of Lynbrook Firm Nassau County District Attorney Denis Dillon announced the arrest and guilty plea of George Tsior-vas for s t e a l i n g over $400,000 from a Lynbrook firm. Tsiorvas, 33, of 1635 Sherbourne Road in Valley Stream pled guilty to Crimi-nal Possession of Stolen Property in the Second Degree following an investi-gation by the DA's Com-mercial Frauds Bureau and the Police Forgery Squad. He faces up to four years in jail. According to Dillon, "Between November of 1980 and February of 1983, Tsi-orvas, aided by an unknown employee of the Simon Gen-eral Agencies, stole $420,000 from Simon General. This is a major insurance underw-riting firm. About 300 checks were never credited to their account, but instead, were deposited in Tsiorvas' p e r s o n a l a c c o u n t . The money was then withdrawn several days later by the defendant." The DA said the scheme came to light in January of this year when Simon Gen-eral received a complaint from one of their brokerage clients that one of his checks appeared" to have a forged endorsement. An investiga-tion showed that Simon General records indicated they had received the check, but that it had never been deposited in their account. Instead, it was deposited in the personal account of George Tsiorvas. An exten-sive audit found 296 Simon General checks which were never credited to their account. Each of the checks were deposited in Tsiorvas' personal account, and then the money was withdrawn s e v e r a l days later by Tsiorvas. (Continued on Page 4) created "Concerned Citizens Against the Bond Issue," spoke against passage of the bond issue. He noted the many financial reasons for his opposition, and con-cluded by stating that "i think it is wrong that the Board should hire a public relations person at the cost of $5,000 for the purposes of selling the bond issue. I, think that the public should be allowed to make up its own mind without having their tax dollars spent to tell them otherwise." It was noted at the meet-ing that registration will be held on December 3 from 8 am until 4 pm, and on December 6 from 4 pm until 8 pm, for all those who are currently not registered but are interested in voting on the bond issue. The bond referendum will be held on December 13 at the High School. A s s e m b l y m a n Greg Becker, who represents those who live in the Lyn-brook portion of the district, said that he would do every-thing in his power to keep the taxes down in the 19th school district. State Sena-tor Carol Berman added that she will work close-ly with Superintendent Maiden and the School Board in their efforts to improve the schools. East Rockaway School Board Report The regular meeting of the East Rockaway Board of Education was held on Monday, November 21 at 8 pm in the all purpose room of Rhame Avenue School. Approximately 40 members of the community were on hand to participate in the discussion of the Board as well as to pose questions to the various members of the Board. The regular meeting was preceded by an open forum, during which time members of the community were allowed the privilege of the floor. One resident inquired why the gym floor at Rhame Avenue had not been repaired. Mr. Maiden stated that a temporary replace-ment would be dangerous and costly, as the floor was damaged by the leaking west wall and that the wall must be repaired as well. Others in the audience expressed their concern over the proposed bond issue ref-erendum. One resident asked in regard to the fire at Rhame Avenue several years ago, "Where did the insurance money go?" Mr. Maiden responded that he was not present in the dis-trict at the time of the fire, and could therefore not comment on the question. Another resident of 30 years rose to express his opposi-tion to the Board's hiring of a public relations person for the express purpose of sel-ling the bond issue. He said, "In years past, this was handled by various com-munity groups, such as the PTA." Mr. Maiden noted that the last time a bond vote was left to community groups, the referendum was overwhelmingly rejected. "The Board felt that it was in the best interests of the community to hire a profes-sional so that the bond issue might be passed," Maiden c o n c l u d e d . He added, "Almost every other school district has a professional public relations person on retainer." At the regular meeting, Mrs. Brande noted that the Board had received corres-pondence from residents surrounding Rhame Avenue School, who had signed a petition against parents who p a r k along Althouse Avenue before picking up their children. Mrs. Burris of Althouse Avenue rose and stated that she had spoken to the police officer on duty, and he stated that he would not issue tickets. "1 then called his superior," Mrs. Burris noted, "and he told me that tickets would be issued. Since then, the policeman on duty has not issued tickets." The Board noted that the East Rockaway School Dis-trict has been asked to send a r e p r e s e n t a t i v e to the BOCES Board, and Mrs. Brande asked that any volunteers who are inter-ested in serving this body should please contact her as soon as possible. The appropriations for BOCES comprise approximately one sixth of the total school budget, stated Mr. Duenges, Business Manager for the district, (Continued on Page 4) H

What's your current interest in the 2012 presidential election?

Rick Moulin (Assistant Bonner Springs High School principal in ) says...
"I enjoy the presidential debates and hearing the perspectives of the candidates on educational issues.
Joel Kivett (Bonner Springs Rotary Club president in ) says...
I think the Tea Party movement has ensured a hopelessly divided GOP. I see a lot of in-fighting resulting in a fractured message and weak support for the eventual Republican candidate. That said, I'm pretty comfortable with the current leadership and have more interest in the congressional election results.
Tony Turner (Assistant Fairmount Township Fire Department chief in ) says...
"At the present time, I do not know, other than wanting the best candidate for the people."

Two couples find their lives transformed by a Christmas gift in VanLiere's debut novel, a gooey holiday parable that leaves no stone unturned in its pursuit of tear-jerking moments. Robert Layton is an ambitious lawyer who sacrifices his youthful idealism to become a partner and specialize in bankruptcy law. His ambition backfires, though, when his wife, Kate, announces that she wants a divorce from her often absent husband, throwing family life into chaos right before the holidays. Meanwhile, on the other side of the tracks, another couple anticipates impending tragedy as young mechanic Robert Andrews tries to prepare his family for the coming death of his attractive wife, Maggie, from ovarian cancer. The two families' lives critically intersect when Layton goes Christmas shopping and encounters Andrews's young son, Nathan, trying to buy a pair of shoes for his mother as a going-away present. When the hard-hearted lawyer sees that the boy is short of cash, he ponies up for the purchase. The transformation that follows makes for a heartwarming story, and VanLiere writes some affecting family scenes that contrast the material poverty of the Andrewses with the spiritual poverty of the Laytons. But the story's beauty is marred by the author's nonstop holiday clichés in both assorted characters and passages of decidedly preachy prose. (Nov.)Forecast:This novel was inspired by a song, last Christmas's eponymous surprise hit by a group called NewSong. Written by the wife of the group's manager, the book will be heavily promoted this season, with NewSong embarking on a 20-city author tour. Expect brisk sales particularly in Christian markets, where the song first made its mark.
BookPage ReviewsStories with seasonal spirit
If your idea of a good Christmas story is the umpteenth airing of It's a Wonderful Life, it's time to scout out new material. Publishers are working as hard as Christmas elves this season, turning out new selections that range from memorable to charming, from inspirational to tear-jerking. So prepare yourself with a box of Kleenex, a cup of hot chocolate, a roaring fire and an ample dose of seasonal spirit. These Christmas books are sure to remind you that there's more to the holiday than wrapping paper and fruitcake.
Mitford mania
It's Christmas in Mitford, Jan Karon's beloved fictional community in the North Carolina mountains. The Mitford Snowmen finds the merchants of Mitford's Main Street competing in a snowman contest. But who will win? Who's the contest judge? And what's the prize, anyway? Karon's sweet and simple tale is paired with winning illustrations in a pocket-sized book that would make an ideal stocking stuffer.
Interfaith challenges
As the holidays approach, Claire's family is in its usual state of hectic activity. First come the Hanukkah celebrations from Claire's Jewish heritage, and next are the Christmas traditions of husband Paul's Catholic family. Although their children seem to take the blending of faiths in stride, Claire wonders if her family has made wise choices about religion. When her son becomes seriously ill, the young mother's doubts are amplified. In Holiday Miracles, award-winning writer Ellyn Bache crafts a thoughtful and touching portrait of the dilemmas facing interfaith families - and of the bonds that ultimately prevail.
Presidential memories
In Christmas in Plains former President Jimmy Carter carefully weaves his way through childhood Christmases on the family farm in southwest Georgia. The book gives a deep sense of the tradition Christmas holds in Carter's life. We watch as a young Jimmy and his father tromp through the woods in search of the wild red cedar that will make the perfect Christmas tree. We feel a bit like we're looking through a paned-glass window as Jimmy and his siblings prepare quarts of homemade eggnog. Illustrated by Carter's daughter Amy, Christmas in Plains is a charming reminder of how the holiday was celebrated in simpler times.
One Last Christmas Gift
Can a chance encounter change a person's life? Donna VanLiere tries to convince us that it can in The Christmas Shoes, her heart-tugging expansion on a song of the same title. You'll want that box of tissues in close range for this book, which should have even Scrooge himself in tears. With his mother near death from cancer, eight-year-old Nathan goes shopping for her final Christmas present and meets a wealthy, prominent attorney who seems to have forgotten what's truly important in life. VanLiere shows a capable hand as she takes a tear-jerking concept and creates an inspiring Christmas story.
Hope and Healing
For 12-year-old Rob Henderson, life is good, if uneventful. Growing up in rural Oregon in the 1950s, Rob helps his father tend the peach, apple and cherry trees that surround the family home. But the youngster finds his idyllic life shattered when a Christmas Eve accident leaves his father in a coma. Christmas of the Cherry Snow by Richard M. Siddoway is a Christmas story with special relevance in these uncertain times. In this tender coming-of-age story, we watch as Rob learns to cope with grief and fear. With its message of love, hope and healing, Christmas of the Cherry Snow will appeal to readers of all ages.

In any event on PC's with .NET 1.1 and later versions installed you do get updates for .NET 1.0 appearing in Windows Update.

Call of Duty: Ghosts Current-Gen Review
More Call of Duty: Ghosts:
When it comes down to the games, I have to admit that the Xbox One impressed me. There's a little something for most gaming tastes in the launch lineup. Despite all of Sony's PS4 momentum, it looks like Microsoft got the upper hand with their overall launch line up. Microsoft has come a long way since the disastrous E3 reveal, and shown at least this games journalist that the next generation battle may not be over before it already began after all. This launch lineup is a good start for Microsoft to meet their goal of having One Xbox to rule all the living rooms. Read More.
I will say that Xbox's marketing team is working hard to overcome a disastrous E3, and since Playstation has been pretty quiet leading up to its release, only the most hardcore gamers will continue to be swayed by the bad pre-release PR. Xbox is still a contender, even though the controllers are still too damned big for my tiny hands. Read More.
If you favor the Orcs in World of Warcraft, then I have good news for you: You're going home. Read More.
You may want to keep an eye on your inbox and Xbox Live Messages. Read More.
Think about it: video games are the chance to see yourself in a new reality, exploring and sublimating your repressed violent childhood fantasies, and often sexual desires, in a virtual world. Freud's therapy was, in fact, all about exploring the unconscious, which was supposedly littered with repressed ideas and primitive desires both sexual and violent. With boobs, fast cars, children, blood, guts, and boobs, the wild and random world of video games can represent each of the various parts of Freud's psychosexual stages. Plus, I think he'd be really into Final Fantasy. Read More.
The game will be released for Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC on March 11 in North American and March 14 in Europe. Read More.
Ubisoft announced today that the highly anticipated Watch Dogs has been delayed. Read More.
Sleeping Dogs developer United Front Games announced today that they are making another game set in the Sleeping Dog Universe. Read More.
Infinity Ward has consistently delivered quality games but the experience overall has been one of stagnation. Ghosts exemplifies this – you have damn good campaign set pieces, a garbage story, a solid multiplayer experience and then… somehow it all ends up feeling kind of hollow. The only really endearing part of the game package is Extinction mode which I'm sure I'll be playing for a long time but that's not leaving a whole lot of game to recommend. Read More.
One could sum up Lost Planet 3 with the word: unnecessary. Nothing about this game really adds anything of importance to the series' mythos. Even if we get to see how NEVEC got started on its path of evil and meet the father of Wayne from the first game (he's Gale, the annoying mechanic). Honestly the best thing about the game is the final boss fight where you actually get one of the few intense combat sequences to be found in the game. Other than that only buy this if you're really looking for something to help you get to sleep. Read More.
What's important here is how the game plays and how well it executes the setting and on those merits alone Shadowrun Returns succeeds. Content may be light straight out of the proverbial box but that can be mitigated thanks to the community. It might not be the prettiest dame at the ball but it certainly works hard to keep your attention long enough for you to get your money's worth and that's more than a lot of big name game developers can honestly say about their game. Read More.
With three types of game modes to play, Wii Party U promises a party experience for everyone, but there isn't much to the boards to play on or the minigames to play in them. A free controller with the game is nice, but it doesn't quite make up the price of purchase. Read More.
Learning guitar is really hard. This game doesn't change the fact that getting good at playing guitar requires a commitment level and several setbacks before you can produce anything remotely inoffensive to the human ear. For those who commit to the daily regimen, RockSmith could very well provide the first non-threatening steps to a lifetime of musical enjoyment, or perhaps even a fun new way to practice for a more experienced guitarist. Read More.
All of this is captured neatly by the digital edition. It plays smoothly even on fairly weak laptops which helps this games appeal even more by making it portable. While it might lose some of the charms by losing the ability to move your pieces around on your own all of the convenience captured right here really makes it worth owning. Read More.
Ubisoft is on the verge of releasing the latest chapter in their immensely popular Assassin's Creed series, and we were made privy to an impressive hands on demo of the game's PlayStation 4 version at a preview event at the Amsterdam Brewery on Toronto's beautiful waterfront on October 22, 2013. Read More.
The first time you play a new game in the Dark Souls series you're immediately going to feel like you're in over your head. This is doubly true when there's no instruction manual or strategy guide to pore over. You're just going to have to figure this old the old fashioned way boys and girls! Luckily this is a game series where anyone who plays it is expecting to die plenty more times. Read More.
The multiplayer is definitely going to be the highlight of Air Conflicts: Vietnam, but the key to its ultimate success will be a large enough community to sustain a good number of rotating matches and varying opponents. Read More.
When Ascaron fell into bankruptcy several years ago following the delayed release of Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, fans were left wondering what would become of their many popular franchises. Among them, the wonderful Port Royale and Patrician games were a trading fanatic's dream. Thankfully Kalypso Media picked up both the licenses for these franchises, and formed a relationship with new developer Gaming Minds who acquired much of the talent behind those fantastic games.

Happy International Day Against DRM.
Digital rights management (DRM) is a class of access control technologies that are used by hardware manufacturers, publishers, copyright holders and individuals with the intent to limit the use of digital content and devices after sale. DRM is any technology that inhibits uses of digital content that are not desired or intended by the content provider. DRM also includes specific instances of digital works or devices. Companies such as Amazon, AT&T, AOL, Apple Inc., the BBC, Microsoft, Electronic Arts and Sony use digital rights management. In 1998 the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) was passed in the United States to impose criminal penalties on those who make available technologies whose primary purpose and function is to circumvent content protection technologies.[1] — Wikipedia: Digital rights management (DRM)
In other words, DRM is technology that cripples stuff we buy so that we can only use it the way the distributor bought it says we can.
"International Day Against DRM" is an initiative of Defective By Design, a branch of the Free Software Foundation
Bill C-11 the Copyright Modernization Act
Right now, Bill C-11 The Copyright Modernization Act" hangs over Canada like a Sword of Damocles about to fall.
In Canada we hear words like "digital locks" and "technological protection measures" but it all means DRM.
Bill C-11 will make circumvention of DRM illegal in Canada, *not* only for copyright infringement, but this law will make it illegal for us to do things Canadians are otherwise legally allowed to do. If DRM is present it will be able to legally prevent Canadians from:
The reality is that my imagination simply isn't good enough to imagine all the ways Canadian creators, consumers, students and citizens will be abused by misapplication of DRM. All I know is that the worst is guaranteed.

Dear Sir / Dear Madam,
It is my privilege and honor to introduce to you the unique opportunities offered by the Israeli industry and the assistance provided by the Industrial Cooperation Authority (ICA) of Israel.
Israel is renowned worldwide for its cutting edge high-tech solutions, which provide a unique opportunity for overseas corporations to take advantage of when fulfilling Industrial Cooperation Agreements.
The essential ingredient in Israel's industrial success is the high quality and professionalism of its work force, which not only possesses vast expertise and know-how, but is also endowed with a daring entrepreneurial spirit. At the same time, the country has more academically qualified scientists and engineers, per capita, than any other nation in the world.
Israel's main export products are in high-tech sectors such as communications and electronics, electro-optics and semiconductors, software and IT, biomedical industries, aerospace, defense and homeland security. More traditional industries in Israel such as plastic and rubber, metal and machinery and automotive products are also distinguished by incorporating value-added advanced technology components into their output.
The Industrial Cooperation Authority (ICA) is a legally constituted body whose functions include ensuring the fulfillment of Industrial Cooperation Agreements signed by overseas companies, due to their sales to the Government of Israel, Government owned corporations and companies, and other Government bodies; initiating, tracking and coordinating industrial cooperation activities resulting from the foreign companies' commitments towards the State of Israel. ICA's role also includes signing the said agreements with the overseas companies, and tracking and promoting the implementation of their commitments. ICA also assists local defense related industries in fulfilling their commitments within the framework of their export transactions in other countries.
The ICA assists overseas companies wishing to form appropriate partnerships in Israel for the purpose of fulfilling their Industrial Cooperation undertakings. ICA helps the foreign businessperson locate suitable Israeli firms for strategic partnerships or joint ventures, outsourcing or R&D agreements, or investments. ICA's team of industrial specialists offers their know-how and advice about how it can be done, providing the foreign company with the necessary information about the Israeli industry. All services are given free of charge.
As a result of industrial cooperation fulfillment of commitments, about $2 billion flowed into Israel in 2010 from dozens of major overseas corporations, which do business with about 400 Israeli industrial firms.
We expect this figure to rise following a government amendment to the Mandatory Tenders Regulations, which extends them to local authorities as well as to national health care services. The government also reiterated the obligation to include in their tenders Industrial Cooperation requirements, as it applies to other government and government related entities.
It should be noted that many overseas companies continue their business ties with Israeli firms following their initial positive experiences during their Industrial Cooperation activities in this country. Having discovered the range of possibilities and enormous technological and economic potential in Israeli industry, many foreign companies carry on implementing transactions with their Israeli partners, even after their commitments have been fully realized.
ICA's staff in Israel and abroad is eager to provide you with our complimentary services. We look forward to assisting you in facilitating contacts with the most appropriate Israeli partner for you, and we are confident that such partnerships will prove to be mutually profitable and beneficial, for all parties involved.
Gabi GOLOMB
Acting Director General
Industrial Cooperation Authority

Psychometabolic Psionicist (Hero Suggestion)
Main Attribute: Str
Attack type: Melee
Spell1: Lend Health – The Psychometabolic Psionicist shares his own life force with any ally he touches. This will damage the The Psychometabolic Psionicist, but heal the ally.
Spell2: Body Armor/Weaponry – The Psychometabolic Psionicist turns his own torso into a suite of armor, and arm into a weapon he would not normally be proficient with. This adds a passive 5/7/10/15% increase to base damage and +1/2/3/4 bonus to armor.
Spell3: Cell Adjustment - The Psychometabolic Psionicist manipulates his own body allowing it to heal much faster. This adds a passive health regeneration of +2/4/6/8.
Ultimate: Death Field – The Psychometabolic Psionicist channels his own life force into a Death Field causing instantaneous physical torment to all within the fields range. The Psychometabolic Psionicist will suffer a loss of 20/30/40/50% of his maximum health (which may be lethal), dealing equal damage, up to a maximum of his current health at the time of casing, to all enemies within a 700 radius of the caster.
Another Psionicist build on the beloved AD@D class. This one pulls skills entirely from the Psychometabolic devotion which allows them to work together more fluidly than perhaps the other Psionicist build previously suggested.

Might be unfair saying it here, because 99% of the suggestions on this forum are so bad that I wish they would close this board again and not waste time looking at it -- and this idea is just as good/bad as most others and not out of line.
BUT you people might want to post less spontaneous badly thought through crap and maybe a) first play the game until you actually understand its meta and b) at least put some effort into your posts. Right now this is a huge waste of time.
Even though I hope the following hero is never added, its how you make suggestions: http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=436

So much for thinking outside the box and pulling ideas from another system that was mostly balanced and worked well. If it's not a cheap copy of, or OPed version of something fro DoTA the pros are going to flame it.
As far as the guides, no most of us are not going to dictate every aspect of how the build should work. Let the Dev's figure out the numbers for balance.

Its not only "like something else", but exactly like existing dota/hon skill.
And 2) makes you look so stupid that I wont even comment on it.
Your not thinking "outside the box", you're not thinking at all. The way your present your idea is piss-poor at best and you didnt put any effort into it. Just throw some random ideas together and not even explaining what their uses, synergies and so on are.
Btw nice attitude "I cannot be bothered thinking about the numbers or finding out how the game actually works, so lets waste the devs time". The numbers are the same as dota, so they are very easy to find.
Maybe learn how to post suggestions by reading here: http://forums.dota-allstars.com/index.php?showforum=255
And you so asked for that flame.

So, let's look at a few other heroes that give base regen.
Razor: .5/1/1.5/2
Tree: 1/2/3/4
The stats on his base regen is ridiculously high; he could spam 4 +3 stat items in the beginning, and find laning a breeze. I'd tone it down, to 1/2/3/4, or 1/2/4/8. The goal clearly being making the skill not a overpowered early game skill, but allowing it to still perform the task you want it to.
You could also add some sort of ability effect to the passive; make it a command aura? Or go a route similar to puppet and make it have a passive break effect after a few attacks.
His ultimate seems unworkable in its current form. Scale it up or down, but the hero will just go in and ultimate and then has no real other use. I think you should stay away from too many passives. The problem it, the hero ends up doing nothing all game and becomes unenjoyable. A % based life attack does need to be in this version though. It will help keep those big heroes from becoming untouchable. At the moment there is no way to really drop tanks.

Newtown, Conn., the town where Friday's mass school shooting took place, is described on its website as a "scenic small town" 60 miles northeast of New York City, with a 110-foot flagpole that serves as an unofficial town symbol.
Newtown is bordered on the south by Easton and Redding, on the north by Bridgewater and Southbury, on the east by Oxford and Monroe, and on the west by Bethel and Brookfield. It is the fifth-largest town, areawise, in the state.

Even as Friday's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., suggests that more could be done, the whole culture of school security has undergone a revolution since the 1999 Columbine school shooting, experts say.
"Schools are far more secure than they were at the time of Columbine," says Paul Timm, president of RETA Security Inc., a school security consultancy.
For one, he says, "They keep most exterior doors secured, which is something they didn't pay much attention to before."
President Obama spoke at 3:15 PM ET Friday, making a statement concerning the shooting in Newtown, CT.

Yoggie Makes USB Stick Firewall Open Source
Israeli security firm Yoggie has released its Linux-based USB Stick Firewall Gatekeeper product in an Open Source version. The open firewall products also include a developer kit.
Yoggie's products are hardware firewalls in the form of USB sticks that include complete Linux processors. The small devices contain an XScale PXA270 processor from Intel along with a 128-Mbyte Flash and 128-Mbyte SDRAM. They serve as protection for Windows and Mac OS X systems.
The company now makes the technology available for developers. The Open Firewall Pico (for a single computer's USB port) and Open Firewall SOHO (for two Ethernet ports) allow access to the firewall's Linux via SSH. Developers can execute commands, upload data and install Debian packages on the device. Yoggie provides an SDK and a developer's website that includes download instructions.
Yoggie hadn't revealed much about licensing for its open source offering, even in their developer forum. A glance at the SDK shows a Linux system with a lot of GPL software. In fact, the newest word from Yoggie is that the open code is indeed GPL licensed.
Yoggie offers a three-month reduced price for their devices. Open Firewall Pico goes for about $50, while the SOHO variant is priced at $80.
In July 2008, Linux Magazine's Jörg Fritsch wrote an article on Yoggie's related Gatekeeper Pico
1.3.8 product. Earlier, in testing the product, he had reported a security
flaw to Yoggie, details of which he included in a May article. Yoggie quickly
responded with a 1.3.9 update to Gatekeeper Pico.

How do YOU explain THIS example of "free market" vulture capitalism, killing 120 WAL-MART garment workers, locked in manufacturing building, Bangladesh:
"The Bangladeshi government has declared a period of national mourning for more than 120 garment workers who died in a fire at a factory that supplied U.S. retail giant Wal-Mart, among others. Joining us from Bangladesh is labor activist Kalpona Akter, who has visited the factory and took pictures of the charred clothing labels she found there — including the Wal-Mart brand, Faded Glory. She started work in garment factories when she was 12 years old. Now she campaigns for better wages, recognition of the right to organize, and higher safety standards. We are also joined by Scott Nova, executive director of the Worker Rights Consortium, which investigates working conditions in factories around the world. In comparison to the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire in New York City, Nova says, "It really is an extraordinary achievement, in an ironic sense, that the U.S. apparel industry has managed to replicate early 20th century conditions that were so brutal and cruel to workers now again here in 2012 in factories in places like Bangladesh. It is a shameful record for the U.S. apparel industry … And hopefully this horror will finally galvanize a global push for genuine reform of the labor practices of the big brands and retailers. Akter speaks directly to shoppers, saying, "Consumers can play a big role because they are the most powerful player in the supply chain."

Caption: Photo of New Years Eve 2014 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Montreal is to New Years in Canada like New York is to New Year's Eve in the United States. It is the place to be. Tens of thousands of young people come from across Canada and the US to this party city for many reasons. Despite it being frickin cold, it makes up for it with a glowing energy that radiates from the French apres work drinking culture, and friendly attitudes. For others it is the 18+ age restrictions that draw in teenagers from across the border. Whatever your reason is for celebrating NYE 2014 in Montreal, your chances of having an incredible time are, well, fairly high. Montreal has been rated by clubZone as the New Year's city most likely to get you laid. The culture, food, incredible parties, and liberal drinking policies (open bar everywhere) lead to great times for all, except maybe the elderly looking for a quiet night out.
Being such a big city with a strong party culture, there's a lot of variety and options when it comes to partying. All party styles and music genres are covered in one of the trendiest and historical cities in Canada. Choose to be comfy in your warm hoodies or to wear your best gown – Montreal has the NYE event that suits you the most! If you love going out to dance and don't mind the crowds, come to Club Arena, perfectly located in the heart of the city's nightlife scene, and get one of the best priced VIP treatment you can get anywhere. If you prefer a more sophisticated approach while sipping your glass of champagne, the Hyatt Regency Montréal offers you their Grand Salon reception hall in its full splendor, with limitless open bar options and mouth-watering food delicacies. Even if you're alone in the city there's no excuse to spend the New Year's countdown in front of the TV. Join the Fluid New Year's Eve all-inclusive open bar 15th anniversary celebration at Club Soda and welcome 2014 with a new friend! We suggest you grab your tickets asap as most parties sell out very fast and ticket price tend to increase rather dramatically.
