The Sentinel
Mass Effect 2 eGuide by Nicholas Brown
Insanity made easy: The Sentinel
On the Insanity difficulty, enemies become overwhelmingly damaging, and the cover system becomes the only means of survival for Shepard and his team. Playing any class, you might want to use one of the defensive bonus powers such as Barrier, Fortification, or Shield Boost as a "panic button" to give you that extra bit of defense and ensure that you don't die in a tight spot. There is one class that specializes in that field however, and that is the Sentinel. Sentinels are described as a very defensive class, and their class ability fulfills that. Tech Armor is an ability that boosts your shields above their normal level. It never expires, unlike the bonus powers, meaning you can cast it immediately after one fight, and be armored and able to use a different power by the time you enter the next fight. Once tech armor is broken, it also has the added benefit of emitting a large burst of energy that knocks over any enemies without special defenses, and at the very least causes protected enemies to flinch. Tech Armor, at stage 3 and 4, also has the unnoted effect of resetting the cooldowns of your squadmates' abilities, meaning you can rely more heavily on them to do fighting for you. My preferred evolution of the final stage is Assault Armor. It causes your shields to recharge back up to 50% after being broken, meaning even after it breaks, it doesn't leave you unprotected. This is great, because the other focus of Assault Armor is the energy burst released upon a shield break. The burst from Assault Armor is increased in every way, making it a sort of weapon in its own right. My style of Sentinel is to use Tech Armor as my main skill, then pair that with the Warp Ammo bonus power to give weapons the bite they normally lack for a Sentinel. The Guardian branch of the Sentinel's passive skill gives a great reduction in cooldown time, allowing for more frequent usage of a Sentinel's fantastic library of skills. Once those three are set, I grab Overload and Warp (unlocking throw along the way) ensuring that even if ammo runs out, Shepard won't have to resort to melee to finish a fight, although with Assault Armor, melee's actually a viable option. What squad you bring with you is not crucial, either bring your favorites, or bring members who are beneficial for the specific mission you're doing. Once the decision becomes available, choosing which weapon to gain proficiency with is not crucial either, any weapon becomes useful with Warp Ammo. I prefer the Assault Rifle for its effectiveness in every situation and high ammo capacity. Simply put, the Sentinel is possibly the best class in Mass Effect 2. Capable of handling any situation without ever firing a shot, but also capable of handling any situation by only firing shots, Sentinels are the perfect class for a patient and calculating Shepard. Assault armor grants Shepard the alternative strategy of rushing in and elbow-bashing hostiles as well. With their flexibility and strong squad support, a well-equipped Sentinel should have no problem taking on any foe, even on the Insanity difficulty.

Published: August 4th 2012
July 5th 2012
We woke up today and thankfully had plenty of time cos our train wasn't until 12.30. So we slept in a bit and then made our way to the station. Dad was very excited as we were about to go on the "chunnel" which I have never heard as an expression used for this train but have always heard dad call it this. And he did Wikipedia it and it is infact the chunnel! Go dad! So over the years we have given him so much crap for it and we had to apologise! Anywho, we checked in and had a bit of a wait so all got frappes and mjuffins to fill in the time then hopped on the train. It was fast and ear poppy but just in a tunnel for most of it so relatively unexciting! I reckon they should make the tunnel glass so we can see under the water we're going through – all the fishys etc! Even though dad made his way down the aisle to the toilet and got thrown so far he almost ended up on one of the other passengers lap, he came back amazed with just how "smooth" the trip was!
Made us laugh but i was pleased to see he was enjoying it so much! It was only a few hours to the centre of paris which is pretty amazing! So, we got off the train and realised we had no idea how to get to our hotel. So i wandered up to the info centre and made friends with a lovely Parisian who was very helpful. He gave us a metro map and told us exactly what lines to catch to get to our hotel.
So we went down to the metro and I had in my hands the directions and what we had to do. I hopped on the train ad all of a sudden the doors slammed shut no warning onto mums arm and took off. I was on the train and mum and dad were not! It was a little bit of chaos and everyone was talking to me in French trying to help me with what to do! Then a lady did the international sign for "call them" and I thought "ahhh yes i have my phone!" So i decided to get off at the next stop. Tried ringing mum cos they had no
idea where they needed to go. Unfortunately the call wouldn't go through but thankfully in france they have reception underground so I texted her phone and told her to get on and get off at next stop so we could re-convene! So that they did! Was pretty unny but as we said thankfully it was me that got on first! Imagine if it was dad who was on the train, or left on his own on the platform! We would have been completely screwed cos he didn't have a phone So from this point onwards we sandwiched him between us!!
We got to our hotel which was really nice and mum and I were so excited cos there was TWO doors between our room and the sofa bed dad was sleeping on so no ear plugs needed!! Faaaantastic! So we unpacked and decided what we needed to do today to fit everything into the schedule Patsy had prepared for us for the weekend! We were going to Moulin rouge at 11.30pm tonight so needed to keep moving and awake till then! So, we decided to go in search of the arc de triomphe! Dad decided he didn't wanna come
cos needed a break from walking which was a shame. So i looked up the metros we needed on the internet before we left and off we went. We got to the first metro stop where we thought it was and it was not! We were nowhere near it! So we spent about 15mins at the giant map figuring out what we needed to do! Naturally my amazing sense of direction got us there faultlessly! And we stepped out of the train station and there in the pissing down rain was the Arc de triomphe! Just in the middle of the road! We took some raining jump shots out the front, wandered over to it and it was 9.50eur to go up the top so we decided against it at the time. And decided to wander down Champs Elysees and find some dinner. We sat looking outwards into the street as most places do in Paris and watched the million diff colours of umbrellas pass us by! We ordered a pizza to share which was nice and had GIANT and I mean giant slices of fresh pineapple on it which was amazing! (see pic!) While we were sitting pondering life
arc de triomphe
and people watching we decided actually we would go up the arc and we were so so pleased we did. It was amazing up there! Looking down at all those diff streets coming out of it in a star shape! It was incredible. And there were cars for Africa with no anes! So much honking and chaos! Such awesome views and such an impressive arc. We saw the Eiffel tower for the first time and took some pics with it in the background. Totally worth 9.50eur! After getting soaked we decided it was time to go and rescue dad and get organised for Moulin rouge so we got on the tube and headed back to the hotel. We were just disappointed we didn't have time to wander down Champs Elysees at all other than dinner. Next time J
We got back and changed and taxied out to Moulin Rouge and joined the massive queue to get in! Such a late start time so we were falling asleep a bit waiting but we were really looking forward to it also. We got in and got seated in a slightly awkward lil corner but it was ok cos we could see
the stage still and got given out free half bottle of champagne each! We couldn't buy the tickets without champagne so we had a lot on our table! The show was pretty impressive. My fav part was the few slightly diff less naked girls acts that came out. There was a pair of boys who did acrobatics who were amazing. The costumes and everything were just incredible! So, we all enjoyed it alot and I was pleased cos we didn't know what to expect cos I had heard from a few ppl that it wasn't worth going, mind you also a lot that said it was great!
So, we hopped outside and we all starving so found a lil random corner store and bought some chippies to tie us over! Then started the mission of getting a taxi home. We tried for about 45mins to hail one and that just wasn't happening so we gave up and found a taxi stand! We then waited an hour in the stand for a taxi till we were 1 person from the front and we realised we didn't know the address of our hotel. So I was frantically trying to find the
tube station we were near on the map, in the dark, large map with very small writing and my terrible eyesight! Not a good combination! Thank goodness i finally found it only after letting a few ppl infront of us! It was cold and late and we just wanted to get home as we had a big day planned tomorrow! So we managed it despite minor hiccup and were quick to bed! J

DOD Teacher Finds Crossroads in American Education
Posted by ldaniel in Family Matters on October 9, 2012
By Lisa Daniel
Common Core Standards, No Child Left Behind, STEM, differentiated teaching, merit pay. Keeping up with the latest policies, ideas and buzz words in education is enough to make parents' – along with more than a few educators' — heads spin.
That's why it was a special treat when I got to speak about these trends with Angela Wilson, who traveled here this week to meet Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta and conduct other official business as the Department of Defense Education Activity's 2012 Teacher of the Year. Read more here.
Wilson has been a key player in national education issues since being awarded the honor last spring, along with other Teacher of the Year winners from each of the states and territories. Since then, Wilson has traveled several times to meet with national education leaders and work on projects to advance teaching, while bringing those experiences back to her seventh-grade language arts and speech students at Vincenza Middle School in Italy.
"It's been an amazing year," Wilson said. "It's really opened my eyes to what's going on in education around our nation. As teachers, it's easy to get stuck in what's happening in your classroom and not looking beyond that."
Wilson has met with President Barack Obama, whose sister, like Panetta's, is a teacher. She's also had conversations with Dr. Jill Biden, who remains a teacher even as she is second lady, as well as Education Secretary Arne Duncan and other public officials. She has attended education conferences and participated in initiatives and met with former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, creator of www.icivics.org, and Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates, who spent a couple of hours speaking with teachers at the Educational Commission Conference in Atlanta last summer, Wilson said.
"He met with all of us individually … and wanted us to tell him what's going on in our schools and how he could help," she said of Gates. "He wrote down what we said," then Wilson and four other teachers were chosen to be recorded for a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation video.
"That was really neat that he would turn our thoughts into a video" to advance education, Wilson said. "His goal is to make America one of those really competitive educational societies like it used to be."
Reports that American students' standardized test scores are falling below those of their international peers are unsettling, but Wilson said she believes the nation is on the cusp of reversing that trend, in part due to the rapid push for new initiatives. Read the rest of this entry »
Family Panel Addresses Exceptional Issues
Posted by ldaniel in Family Matters on October 1, 2012
Guest blogger Air Force Maj. Nicholas Sabula is a communication plans officer at the Defense Media Activity. He was selected to a 10-member panel as part of the Defense Department's Exceptional Family Member Program. He has a son with autism and, off-duty, is an advocate for military families dealing with autism.�
By Air Force Maj. Nicholas Sabula
Defense Media Activity
Recently I had the opportunity to serve on a Defense Department advisory panel dealing with special needs issues across the military.
The panel's meeting last month in Alexandria, Va., was the third of its kind conducted by DOD's Office of Community Support for Military Families with Special Needs, or OSN, in the past year to address the Exceptional Family Member Program's family support priorities.
The panel was comprised of family representatives from all services, including active duty and reserves, and addressed communication issues and concerns from military families. The event was chaired by Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community and Family Policy Charles E. Milam.
As the father of three boys, one with autism, I took my role in the process very seriously. In reaching out for input from families through networking, meet-ups and even an unofficial online survey, I found myself not only serving not only as the Air Force representative, but also as a joint representative to all our families.
EFMP impacts a lot of families, with enrollment mandatory for active duty families with a special need. As of December, total EFMP service member enrollment was projected at 93,706 with numbers of EFMP family members estimated at 126,153 across services.
The program becomes especially important when planning and making a permanent change of station move. Some families need support before the move to determine if services are available for their particular special needs. Some find that they need family support assistance to navigate the system when they arrive at a new duty station. Contacts must be made with new school staff, to locate medical providers and work with a variety of offices to support providers on or off the installation.
During previous panels, we presented families' frustrations with accessing information and services and confusion about policy since each service implements a slightly different program. Lack of standardization and consistency at different installations were top priorities. The panel listed as its three key areas for improvement consistency of support, communication and health care.
What I found is that much of the work our panel initially identified and advocated for a year ago was taken to heart by leadership and we are seeing results. OSN recently completed the first phase of an analysis aimed at standardizing service support for special needs families across DOD. The analysis used a series of site visits to installation-level, headquarters-level and any centralized locations dealing with personnel, family support and assignment processes. The culminating activity was a review by the services to look at enrollment and identification; assignment coordination; overseas family travel; and family support.
Ultimately, the outcome is to consolidate these processes and make it easier for families to maintain support from location to location. Simple things like common forms, databases talking to each other, more user-friendly websites to help families as they transition from one location to another, accessibility of information to understand how to obtain care and support from available resources were all presented.
A TRICARE representative spoke about the health care management activity's efforts to improve communication with families and collaboration with OSN, such as simplifying online navigation. The representative discussed TRICARE's Patient Centered Medical Home, which the services are implementing and eventually will address many of the panel's issues related to lack of consistency of medical providers and timely access to specialty care. It places emphasis on personal relationships, team delivery of holistic care, coordination across medical specialties and settings, and increases access to affordable care.
EFMP representatives from each service's headquarters shared their efforts to improve communication and outreach, as well as awareness on adult-age children or spouses with special needs, respite care and other EFMP initiatives such as joint base support.
I was especially pleased to see that the services are working more closely together to build cohesion across the joint force. It might not sound like much, but as an Air Force family on an Army installation, such cohesion is important and reflects a readiness issue for the military community at large.
Perhaps the hardest part of participating in these panels has been the expectations of families after it ends. It's hard to tell families that their concerns were presented, but won't be fixed right now. As I've learned, the complexity of coordination and needed approvals at the department or service level means change typically gets accomplished at one speed: glacial.
Despite more work to be done, military families like mine with special needs should see some direct benefits from the recommendations brought forth through this panel, indicating the importance DOD is putting on listening to families' concerns and working to act on their issues.
There's still going to challenges with support and services in the short term, but the ball is rolling on lasting improvements to make things better for all our families.
DOD Schools Mark Successes
Posted by carol.bowers in Family Matters on June 20, 2012
By Lisa Daniel
Department of Defense Education Activity's schools have been on a roll lately with high achievement of both teachers and students. Now that the 2011-12 school year is behind them, students, teachers and parents have much to be proud of.
The latest recognition goes to math teacher Spencer Bean at Baumholder Middle-High School, Germany, who has been chosen to receive the 2011 Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching here June 27. Read more here.
Bean is the kind of teacher parents hope their children will have in school: high-energy, innovative and focused on individual student success. The motivating force for Bean is that he loves his work.
In his 13 years of teaching, he said, "I've rarely ever missed a day of work; I just love it that much."
Like many high-achieving students, Bean said, he had to be talked into teaching. He was a math major and, already married in college, wanted to earn a good living. He considered going into accounting or some other business area.
Bean had the good fortune of having a mentor who advised him to go into something he was passionate about, and a brother – an Air Force officer based in Germany – who told him that, for teachers, DODEA's pay, benefits and opportunities for travel are hard to beat.
"With public schools, … it's a tough thing to do to say you're going to be a teacher," Bean said. "You have to be really motivated. DODEA can definitely have the best and brightest because of what they offer financially."
Defense Department schools have demonstrated success in many ways lately. In April, Angela Wilson, a 7th grade language arts teacher at Vicenza Middle School, Italy, represented DOD schools as one of four finalists in the annual National Teacher of the Year competition here.
In May, Anuk Dayaprema, a seventh-grade student at Vincenza Middle School, represented DOD and State Department schools at the Scripps National Spelling Bee, and Dominik Muellerleile, an eighth-grade student at Wiesbaden Middle School, Germany, represented DOD and State Department schools in the 24th annual National Geographic Bee here.
In June, DODEA celebrated its first graduation – of three students – of its Virtual School, a high school that serves students through technology to get required courses they otherwise wouldn't be able to take. And, DODEA offered live streaming of its graduations where many parents are deployed.
There are many reasons to celebrate Defense Department schools. Bean is just the latest example of a school system that does so many things right.
"I've never regretted it," Bean said of his decision to become a Defense Department teacher. "I've loved it ever since."
School Means Kids Thrive on Camp Casey

School Bells Ringing
by Heather Forsgren Weaver
Sept. 17, 2010
As school bells began ringing across America signaling the beginning of a new school year, something remarkable happened on Camp Casey, South Korea. School bells rang out there too for the first time in 60 years.
The new school represents a major step in Army Gen. Walter L. "Skip" Sharp's initiative to normalize tours across the Korean peninsula and improve the quality of life for servicemembers and their families, wrote Donna Miles for American Forces Press Service in "New School Signals Commitment to Families, Alliance."
Miles is in South Korea to cover events commemorating the 60th anniversary of the start of the Korean War. A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the school, which will serve students in kindergarten through eighth grade school, took place Wednesday.
Officials Extend MyCAA Enrollment Deadline
Posted by in Family Matters on September 14, 2010
by Elaine Wilson
Sept. 14, 2010
I wanted to pass on the latest information about the Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts program, known to most of us as MyCAA.
Military spouses currently enrolled in the popular spouse employment program can now request financial assistance for classes with a start date that is on or before Jan. 31. Previously, the start-date cutoff was Jan. 15.
However, spouses still must submit their financial assistance request by Oct. 21.
The change was based on feedback from spouses and schools, officials told me. Many schools offer a later start date for the spring semester, and extending the enrollment deadline will give more spouses the opportunity to attend courses.
But keep in mind that MyCAA is active at this time only for currently-enrolled spouses, who can participate in the program through Oct. 21. At that time, the program will ramp down in preparation for the Oct. 25 launch of a revamped program.

DoD Education Activity Renovates, Goes Green
by Heather Forsgren Weaver

Summertime, with students and teachers gone, is often the time that schools go through major makeovers. The local public high school in my neighborhood in Virginia and the middle school near my vacation home at the New Jersey shore have been completely transformed.
For schools run by the Department of Defense Education Activity, though, makeovers and modernization efforts will begin this October. The work is needed because the buildings are getting older, and many no longer meet Defense Department standards, Russ Roberts, the activity's chief logistician, told U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Michael J. Carden.
Carden wrote about the activity's plans to spend $3.7 billion over the next five years to renovate schools worldwide in an article for American Forces Press Service, "Modernization Ahead for Defense Department Schools."
Of the activity's 191 schools, 134 do not meet the department's standards. But because the standards to which the schools are held were established in 2005, it has been difficult for the officials to barter for needed funds, Roberts added. The program will start with those 134 schools.
"We're ecstatic to have the resources we need to improve the conditions of our school facilities," Russ Roberts, chief logistician for the activity, said. "Most of our schools were built in the 1970s or before, and cannot hold the technologies. It's important for us that we can continue to deliver the quality education our military children deserve."

Going to College: Easier Than You Think
by Heather Forsgren Weaver
July 30, 2010
With the reshaping of the My Career Advancement Accounts program, as Elaine Wilson told you about in the blog, "Spouse Jobs Program Resumes in October," I wanted to pass along information about additional educational resources for military spouses.
Pursuing a four-year college degree can have benefits for both the military spouse and the entire family. The average annual salary difference between someone with a four-year degree and a person with a high school diploma is approximately $20,000.
Spouses might think that it will be difficult to pursue a four-year degree while living the military life of frequent moves but as I found out by reading an article on the National Military Family Association's website, "It's easier than you think!"
Start by visiting the education center on your installation. An education counselor will help you get started by taking you through the steps and pointing you in the right direction. Education counselors have extensive knowledge of programs and scholarships available to help you start and complete your education despite the challenges you might face. These counselors can address the education issues arising from moving, deployments, or other disruptions. They can also describe the education assistance programs for military spouses.
The next question is how to pay for your education. There are a variety of resources available to military spouses including scholarships.

Dr. Biden, Leaders Focus on Education Needs of Military Kids
by Heather Forsgren Weaver
July 26, 2010
Even before Sept. 11, 2001, and the resulting military conflicts, the departments of Defense and Education began meeting annually to discuss the needs of military children. Now with about 2 million children having experienced a parent's deployment and 600,000 Army children and countless others from the other services currently separated from a deployed parent, this year's conference held in nearby Maryland last week brought out some heavy hitters.
Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, headlined the last day of the conference.
Dr. Biden and First Lady Michelle Obama frequently visit military installations. During these visits they often hear about the important role schools play in their children's lives and the challenge of changing schools due to relocations, Dr. Biden told the conference.

June 23, 2010
I visited Fort Belvoir Elementary School, Va., yesterday to attend a roundtable discussion on the education challenges faced by military families.
Gathered around tables in the school's library, Deputy Defense Secretary William J. Lynn III; Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden; Education Secretary Arne Duncan; Army Chief of Staff Gen. George W. Casey Jr. and his wife, Sheila; and other military and school officials met with military parents to hear their concerns.
The military parents took full advantage of the venue, speaking up to voice concerns on a variety of education-related issues, ranging from school-transfer difficulties to the need for improved teacher training within Defense Department and public schools.

Spouses Open Up on Child Care, Education
Posted by carol.bowers in Family Matters on November 9, 2009
By Elaine Wilson, AFPS
Nov. 9, 2009
Since starting the "Family Matters" blog, I've written about the challenges military families face – the relocations, deployments, reintegration and school adjustments – in an effort to help ease military families' burdens in some small way.
But after this morning, I feel like I've barely hit the tip of the iceberg. Earlier today, I heard firsthand from nine military spouses about the ups and downs, trials and tribulations, fears and frustrations military families face in their everyday lives. I was impressed and amazed by their courage and candor as they came forward to help initiate change.
The spouses were invited to offer their perspective on military life during a family member panel at the Defense Department's first National Leadership Summit on Military Families today at the University of Maryland.
The summit drew more than 300 military and civilian leaders who provide support to military families. The participants gathered to discuss the effectiveness of the military's family support and readiness programs as part of an ongoing effort to improve them.
The spouses represented each military service, active and reserve components, and ran the gamut from military life "newbie" to seasoned military wife. They were invited to share their experiences in the presence of leaders who have the power to help implement future change.

Bad haircut: still shoddy after the fix
I went back to the salon this morning and said that I wasn't happy. I was basically handed over to the same stylist so she could fix her own job. After waiting a few precious minutes (I drove straight to a business interview after leaving), I told her what was wrong and that the fix needed to be quick. She aimed her scissors first at the back of my head, where there was still some semi-full hair below ear level, and I said NO, it's the FRONT OF MY FACE that looks like ass. I didn't say ass. I should have. There were a lot of things that I wanted to say but I was tired and stressed and residually polite. Damn my residual politeness.
My original haircut (the "cute" one) basically looked like one of these lovely ladies' hairstyles, but with longer bangs. And flatter.
Scarlett is the only one who can even vaguely pull it off, but she's Scarlett Fucking Johansson, you know? Anyway, this morning the stylist rounded out the thin, blunt, and poorly blended hair in the front of my face so that I feel less like Carol Brady, but I still don't like it. It doesn't feel like me, nor does it look like what I described to her. I'm usually pretty good with descriptions, for example: "a trim with some subtle layers and a blond chunk of hair in the front. I have fine hair that I want to look fuller without using a ton of product." My hair was mostly the same length when I went in. I feel like this is a "Utah County Mom" hairstyle. You local people know what I'm talking about. Bleeeech.
I'm no fashion expert, but I'm pretty sure that seeing my neck through my hair does not constitute "fullness."
I wasn't wearing a helmet at all today! I swear!
Then again, Tina Fey pulled off something like it back when she was on Weekend Update. Except hers still looks better. Maybe I just need to wear my black plastic cat eye glasses with this cut and make sure that I'm always near a goofy retard. BUT WHAT IF I AM THE GOOFY RETARD.

Tragic Connection Back Home
One shooter, two victims; all from a Virginia high school
CENTREVILLE, VA.-At a packed gathering at the Centreville Presbyterian Church here on Tuesday, it wasn't just the words that were searing but what was left unsaid. More than 250 people came together to mourn the loss of two graduates from nearby Westfield High School, Reema Samaha and Erin Peterson, both 18 years old. The audience dissolved into sobs and gasps as they watched a concluding slide show of the former high school basketball captain and the star dancer-two of the 32 victims of last week's massacre at Virginia Tech. But not a word of the hour-long service dealt with the gunman, Seung Hui Cho, who also graduated from Westfield High, class of 2003.
It was a harsh glare indeed that fell last week on this 3,232-person high school in Chantilly, part of the swath of affluent, sprawling Virginia suburbs outside Washington, D.C. It wasn't the first bout of unwelcome attention; about a year ago, another Westfield grad shot and killed two police officers in a station parking lot 5 miles from the school. But this felt more personal. The deaths of the two former students were announced on the school's public address system; two "spirit rocks" near the parking lot-boulders routinely painted and repainted to promote school events-became shrines. The shooter's seemingly innocuous Westfield High history was dissected for clues. No one really knows why the lives of three students from this school came to so tragically intersect again. And no one yet knows how, even with counseling, the classmates of the Westfield High victims will heal their wounds.
When Cho attended Westfield, it was a brand-new school, having only opened in 2000. "Nothing was special about us," one 2003 graduate, Jennifer LeVay, wrote on the social networking site facebook.com of her class. "We weren't the FIRST! graduating class, we weren't the first class to go ALL THE WAY through WHS. We were just there." In the 2002 yearbook, Cho was listed as a member of the Science Club; there's no mention of him in his senior yearbook. One classmate recalled the largely silent, South Korean-born Cho as being teased and told to "go back to China." No one seems to have known him well.
Friends of Samaha and Peterson say they doubt Cho singled them out or even knew them. Regardless, he couldn't have picked victims more starkly different from himself. "Erin was a magnetic kid with a smile and laugh you see once and never forget," says Pat Deegan, Peterson's high school basketball coach. He says she was also a 6-foot-1 "mother hen" to others: When one basketball player transferred in from another school, Peterson sat by her every single day at lunch. Samaha, meanwhile, was a star member of the dance team and an award-winning performer in Westfield's 2005 production of Fiddler on the Roof. By then, the school was changing, growing seriously overcrowded, with many classes held in trailers. But the spirit remained. On the weekends, Samaha's friends threw alcohol-free dance parties with dress-up themes like cowboys and Indians.

One thing that continually frustrates me when working with dedicated test teams is that, well, they find too many bugs.
Don't get me wrong. I want to be the first person to know about any bug that results in inconvenience for a user. But how do you distinguish between bugs that users are likely to encounter, and bugs that users will probably never see?
The first thing you do is take that list of bugs from the testers and have yourself a triage meeting:
The term "triage" was borrowed from medical triage where a doctor or nurse has to prioritize care for a large group of injured people. The main job of a software bug triage team is to decide which bugs need to be fixed (or conversely, which bugs we're willing to ship with).Eric lists four questions that need to be answered during triage to decide whether a bug should be fixed or not:
- Severity: When this bug happens, how bad is the impact?
- Frequency: How often does this bug happen?
- Cost: How much effort would be required to fix this bug?
- Risk: What is the risk of fixing this bug?
Triage isn't exactly my idea of a good time. But you have to do it, because you'll always have far more bugs than you have development time. Nobody has the luxury of fixing all the bugs in their software.
Testers produce two kinds of bugs:
It's a clear win for the bugs everyone agrees on. That's usually about ten to twenty percent of the bug list in my experience. But for everything else, there's a serious problem: testers aren't real users. I'd give a bug from a customer ten times the weight of a bug reported by a tester.
The source of the bug is just one factor to consider. Bug triage isn't a science. It's highly subjective and totally dependent on the specifics of your application. In Bugs Are a Business Decision, Jan Goyvaerts describes how different triage can be for applications at each end of that spectrum:
Last July I flew to Denver to attend the Shareware Industry Conference. I flew the leg from Taipei to Los Angeles on a Boeing 747 operated by China Airlines. This aircraft has two major software systems on board: the avionics software (flight computer), and the in-flight entertainment system. These two systems are completely independent of each other, developed by different companies, to different standards.The avionics software is the software that flies the plane. No, the pilots don't fly the plane, the flight computer does. How many bugs would you tolerate in the avionics software? How many do you think Boeing left unfixed? How many people have ever been killed by software bugs in modern airliners? Zero. A flawed flight computer would immediately ground all 747s worldwide. Boeing would not recover.
The in-flight entertainment system is a completely different story. It's not essential to the plane. It only serves to make the passengers forget how uncomfortable those economy seats really are. If the entertainment system barfs all over itself, the cost is minimal. Passengers are already out of their money, and most will choose their next flight based on price and schedule rather than which movies are on those tiny screens, if any. I was actually quite pleased with Chine Airlines' system, which offered economy passengers individual screens and a choice of a dozen or so on-demand movies (i.e. each passenger can start viewing any movie at any time, and even pause and rewind). That is, until the system started acting up. It locked up a few times causing everybody's movie to pause for several minutes. Once, the crew had to reboot the whole thing. That silly Linux penguin mocked me for several minutes while the boot messages crept by. X11 showed off its X-shaped cursor right in the middle of the screen even longer. Judging from the crew's attitude about it, the reboot seemed like something that's part of their training.
Bugs also cost money to fix. In My Life as a Code Economist, Eric Sink outlines all the decisions that go into whether or not a bug gets fixed at his company:
Don't we all start out with the belief that software only gets better as we work on it? The fact that we need regression testing is somehow like evidence that there is something wrong with the world. After all, it's not like anybody on our team is intentionally creating new bugs. We're just trying to make sure our product gets better every day, and yet, somewhere between 3.1.2 and 3.1.3, we made it worse.But that's just the way it is. Every code change is a risk. A development cycle that doesn't recognize this will churn indefinitely and never create a shippable product. At some point, if the product is ever going to converge toward a release, you have to start deciding which bugs aren't going to get fixed.
To put it another way, think about what you want to say to yourself when look in the mirror just after your product is released. The people in group 2 want to look in the mirror and say this:
"Our bug database has ZERO open items. We didn't defer a single bug. We fixed them all. After every bug fix, we regression tested the entire product, with 100% code coverage. Our product is perfect, absolutely flawless and above any criticism whatsoever."
The group 1 person wants to look in the mirror and say this:
"Our bug database has lots of open items. We have carefully reviewed every one of them and consider each one to be acceptable. In other words, most of them should probably not even be called bugs. We are not ashamed of this list of open items. On the contrary, we draw confidence from this list because we are shipping a product with a quality level that is well known. There will be no surprises and no mulligans. We admit that our product would be even better if all of these items were "fixed", but fixing them would risk introducing new bugs. We would essentially be exchanging these bugs which we find acceptable for the possibility of newly introduced bugs which might be showstoppers."
I'm not talking about shipping crappy products. I'm not suggesting that anybody ship products of low quality. I'm suggesting that decisions about software quality can be tough and subtle, and we need to be really smart about how to make those decisions. Sometimes a "bug" should not be fixed.
To me, triage is about one thing: making life better for your users. And the best way to do that is to base your triage decisions on data from actual usage -- via exception reporting, user feedback, and beta testing. Otherwise, triage is just a bunch of developers and testers in a room, trying to guess what users might do.
Another nice entry, Jeff. Man, when do you find the time, between gaming and coding, to do such a great job with regular updates?
Triage, is in fact, what my last boss used to call it when we got new user requests and bug reports. It's a gruesome necessity in a medical ward overwhelmed by patients and seems to me to naturally apply to the "common sense" project management in any other field.
Bernard Dy on January 30, 2006 3:32 AMI didn't get into it in the post, but the "how do you define *bug*?" question always comes up at some point.
I found this "When is a bug a bug?" discussion at the JOS forums very interesting:
Jeff Atwood on January 30, 2006 3:39 AMHow many people have ever been killed by software bugs in modern airliners? Zero.
I'm not so sure. Airbuses in particular seem to have quite a few glitches.
For example: a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/opinion/2002078977_gaillard02.html"http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/opinion/2002078977_gaillard02.html/a
Phil on January 30, 2006 8:00 AMThose not-to-be-fixed-now bugs come in handy:
- for the next release; you can decide to fix some in a less-critical phase
- for a developer who is new to the code; it gives him/her a good opportunity to get to know the product source
Jan Doggen on January 31, 2006 4:54 AMJeff,
The problem you have with testers is the same problem testers have with Product Management and Customer/Support: Bad requirements and poor expectations. Your triages should not be as painful as you make them sound. True, QA people are not actual users, we're smarter. If you and your QA people recieve proper req. doc. then the test cases should be pretty straight-forward as well as the defects. However, when we recieve the doc there are no prioritization lists so we test the main components and then work our way down to the minutae.
You have a right to be annoyed with the triage process and decisions made by management, but I don't think it's fair that you give QA a hard time for doing it's job. Rarely, do people come up to the QA team and say, "Good catch, nice work finding that bug." It's more like, "Why didn't you find this bug or that bug and what were you testing?" 90% of the time QA doesn't necessarily get to make those judgement calls about what MUST get fixed because business doesn't care if we're not happy putting our names on a defective product.
All of my QA teams perform internal team reviews before we escalate to dev/PM triage and that liimits the time wasted in those meetings. We don't even want to be there, we have enough meetings about Priority/Severity/etc. Dev and PM need to hash out what needs to be fixed and by when. We just hope we're given enough time to test fixes again before the product goes out.
Just one testers story.
Damien on January 31, 2006 11:43 AMDamien,
I don't mean to sound anti-tester; rather, I am pro-user. Testing isn't a single activity-- it's a gauntlet of events your app has to make it through. A traditional test/qa is definitely an important section of that gauntlet.
But not the *only* section.. and all decisions made during triage should be informed with real user data whenever possible.
Jeff Atwood on January 31, 2006 11:52 AMGreat article jeff, however I think more needs to be said about the "attitude" both lone and company developers take when it comes to handling bugs in their software. Lately it seems as if developers have more and more tolerance for bugs, relying on the old addage that, "It's impossible to create bugless software!" And while this may be true to some extent, by relying on this as an excuse or reason more and more bugs are left unchallenged or at least until some future date/version! I see this a lot in third party component developers for Delphi and even more in popular shareware applications. Programmers need to understand that their prime directives need to include their making every attempt to prevent and solve bugs through the use of systematic and diligent testing methods, regression testing after each fix, and ensuring that releases can be patched or updated easily as the need arises so that the consumer, whether another developer or an end-user, doesn't have to wait forever for something to be done! The techniques used for finding and fixing bugs is obvious to all developers by now, so attitude is what needs changing!
Robert Meek on February 3, 2006 11:22 AMSeverity and frequency should be attributes of every bug the testers write.
WRT bugs submitted by users, many of them are actually requests for unscoped new functionality. Dont forget to quantity the cost and risk-to-project-plan of 'fixing' unscoped new functionality.
Mike Tierney
My take on enhancements that testers call "bugs"
It's like a person that wants a nose job walking into triage....
That attitude of Team 2 (accepting bugs) really annoys me, not only as a programmer, but especially from a user's perspective. I prefer having less features and less bugs, than somthing that comes up with errors when I use it. And we are talking only about reported bugs, not all the bugs. Would you tolerate any (even non-critical) bugs in your washing machine, or your refrigerator?
I think that this "users can live with this bug"-attitude is the reason that todays software is of such a poor quality. It is this attitude, which causes the software industry to be called immature. The users should demand more, but also pay more for the better quality.
Ivan Dolvich on December 5, 2007 12:26 PMIf there is a bug, then should be asked, why it is there. If there are hundreds of minor not-fix-now-maybe-later bugs, then the real bug is not in the software. It is in the engineering process. And that bug should be fixed.
If there is a danger of creating more bugs by fixing one bug, then should be asked, why the danger exists. If programmers can not program any code, because they have to fear that more bugs start popping up from some mysterious shadows, then there surely is something wrong with the engineering process. And that is real critical and should be fixed.

Not that I'd ever condone gambling on sports, but let's do a little wagering. I'll give you a line related to the UT football season and you respond in the comments section with your prediction: over or under. We'll revisit these after the year, and a shout out (perhaps a prize) will go to person that guesses the most right.
Percentage of snaps taken by quarterback Terrance Owens: 65
It is my belief, as it has been all along, that Owens will be named the starter when Campbell makes the announcement later today. The loser of the battle waged between he and Austin Dantin will play, but how much?
Rushing yards by David Fluellen: 875
Eight times in the past 12 years a UT back has rushed for 1000 yards. Fluellen's high-water mark of 493 yards came last year when he was the team's third option. Now he's the go-to guy.
Regular season wins: 8.5
UT won eight regular season games in each of the past two years. No Boise States or Ohio States pop up this year, but Arizona, Wyoming, and Cincinnati are formidable.
Catches by Cordale Scott: 10
He has five in his career, all coming last year as a receiver. The fifth-year senior has transitioned to tight end, where he will start.
Sacks allowed by offensive line: 20
Breaking in three new starters, it's unrealistic to think this unit will match last year's feat of 10 sacks allowed. In fact, it's unrealistic to think any line can achieve that number.
Long field goal by J.D. Detmer: 52 yards
Detmer converted from this distance against Syracuse.
Touchdown catches by Bernard Reedy: 12
He had nine last year, with six coming in the regular season. Should assume a greater role with the departure of Eric Page.
High point total allowed by defense: 48
Rockets gave up 63 points in consecutive weeks against Northern Illinois and Western Michigan.
Different starters at cornerback: 3.5
Four or five players have been engaged in a good battle. Chris Dukes and Cheatham Norrils figure to start. Norrils might be summoned to safety in the event of an injury there. Something to think about.
Average attendance for home games: 22,157
This is last year's mark. Coastal Carolina and Cincinnati replace New Hampshire and Boise State in the non-conference slate.

Bernd Neumann Minister of State for Culture and the Media |
(Photo: Bundesregierung/ Kugler) |
Between January 2007 and the end of 2011 the German Federal Film Fund (DFFF), established by the German Government, has supported over 520 film productions with grants totalling approximately 296 million Euros. This funding measure has become groundbreaking for the German film industry. It has ensured a sustainable enhancement of the film location Germany and has invigorated the international competitiveness of the German film industry with all its employees.
Every year, German and international production companies invest six times the amount of the subsidies by means of the earmarked DFFF funds in Germany alone. This has led to investments in the context of cinema production amounting to more than 1.5 billion Euros. Numerous DFFF-funded films turned out to be great box-office-hits, causing a brand-new perception of German films abroad thanks to their quality. At the same time, DFFF can take considerable credit for the growing networking between German and international producers - a result of the large number of co-productions.
Thanks to the DFFF, the production site Germany has become increasingly attractive in the past five years not only for international cinema productions. Numerous small and medium-sized productions of various genres originate from Germany, including many film pearls that would have never been realised without the support of DFFF. However, DFFF has potential that greatly affects not only the economy but also the culture, proven by the numerous national and international film prizes awarded to DFFF productions in the past years.
By now, the solid structures achieved by DFFF have provided German producers with new perspectives. Even international large productions that would not have been realized anywhere but in Hollywood not too long ago, are now being developed in Germany. German producers and the production studios with state-of-theart technical standards have made it to the top league.
In the years between 2007 and 2011, Germany as a film production location with its manufacturers, creative heads, staff members and technicians has advanced to being a magnet for national and international filmmakers. The bottom line of this is: Germany delivers cinema-quality - continual, multifarious, and impressive. It shall remain this way.

text: Smallpox is a highly contagious and deadly disease that can give you flu-like symptoms and leave you with disfiguring scars. About one in three people that contract smallpox die from it. You can acquire smallpox if you are in close proximity with someone who has it as the virus spreads easily through saliva. If you are infected with smallpox symptoms will develop after 10 to 12 days. You might come down with fever, aches, a rash, and fatigue. No treatment is available for smallpox, but you can control the fever and any pain with IV fluids and medicines. The last known case of smallpox was from 1977, thanks to global immunization. Because of its highly contagious and severe nature, scientists are not able to easily study smallpox.

Anxiety Cured quickly and permanently
In over 155,000 cases we have proven that anxiety can be 'switched off' with very little effort and time.
Charles explains what anxiety is in his TV series. Please remember to turn up your speakers.
Your anxiety isn't what you might currently believe
How Anxiety Affected Me
When I suffered with anxiety disorder, I was wrought with a sense of doom from morning till night. I suffered with OCD, panic attacks, agoraphobia that prevented me from doing the things I had done before and an overwhelming sense of fear that I would never be normal again.
I experienced disturbing thoughts, depersonalisation and derealisation and the physical sensations were, sometimes, overwhelming. Doctors diagnosed 'depression and anxiety' and 'stress and anxiety', but the deep rooted fear I experienced was neither depression nor stress... it was something much more simple! Anxiety disorder grips sufferers like a vice, they tend to feel too afraid to live but more afraid of the alternative.
Anxiety disorder is caused by a cycle of thoughts, fear and symptoms which run riot in the sufferer's body... thoughts causing anxiety symptoms, symptoms causing fear, fear causing thoughts and so on; an endless road like a treadmill.
My journey ended with me NOT accepting what 'professionals' told me about my anxiety disorder... I refused to be ruled by my anxiety; I knew that a solution was out there and I was determined to find it. Through research with hundreds of ex anxiety disorder sufferers and a whole lot of testing and retesting my theories, I eventually discovered a simple combination of techniques which turned my life around in days. I now call that structure The Linden Method and to date, it has helped over 160,000 anxiety disorder sufferers and it can do the same for you.
Charles Linden
You WILL be anxiety FREE at a speed that will shock you it is so simple, so fast and permanent.
Lynn talks about her experiences of anxiety.
video transcript
Why does the NHS recommend The Linden Method?
The NHS immediately recognised the power of The Linden Method when compared to conventional anxiety treatments / elimination methods their clients experienced immediate and lasting relief after years of fruitless treatments!
Anxiety is the name given to a perfectly natural response to a perceived threat. Depending on the nature of the threat, anxiety can range from mild concern to extreme 'fight or flight' responses, wherein the body prepares itself for extreme physical exertion as part of its in-built 'self-preservation' mechanisms.
During times of stress or worry, the 'baseline' anxiety level may not return to 'normal'. When your preset anxiety level becomes 'reset' at a higher level though, anxiety can become constant and intrusive. To correct this, you simply have to reverse this process.
Doctors will have you believe that stress, anxiety and even the depression and thoughts experienced by anxiety sufferers are 'mental illness', they may even prescribe medication or refer you to a mental health professional but this is all futile and misses the point completely.
Jemma Kidd on ITV's The Lorraine Kelly Show talking about her Anxiety & Panic Attacks Recovery and How The Linden Method worked for her
Anxiety Disorder - What is it?
Anxiety disorder exists when a sufferer encounters a situation that would normally not be considered a significant threat and experiences an exaggerated anxiety response. When the anxiety response is disproportionate to the 'actual' level of threat, it becomes inappropriate anxiety. This isn't depression or any other mental illness, this is high anxiety a higher emotional fear level, nothing more.
The Amygdala
Anxiety (and therefore inappropriate anxiety) is subconsciously triggered by the Amygdala, a small organ in the brain.
Normally, the Amygdala operates at 'calm/normal' status. When we are faced with an anxiety-provoking situation, the Amygdala switches to 'anxious' and, depending on the level of threat perceived, initiates 'self-preservation' responses within the body.
Once the threat has dissipated, the Amygdala reverts back to 'calm/normal'. The effects of the 'self-preservation' responses may remain for a short time but eventually also fade as the body returns to a 'resting' status.
Reprogramming of the Amygdala Causes Anxiety Disorder
Exposure to extreme or prolonged periods of anxiety can cause the Amygdala to become reset, establishing 'anxious' as the new 'default' level. The Amygdala has 'learned' anxious behaviour.
The Amygdala now over-reacts to situations that would normally have low levels of threat with an exaggerated response and initiates extreme self-preservation mechanisms, normally reserved for potentially life-threatening scenarios.
The individual subconsciously adopts an 'anxious' disposition and has developed an anxiety disorder. However, the term 'disorder' suggests 'illness', which is incorrect. This condition has been 'learned' and, as such, is a 'behavioural' condition.
Anxiety Attacks - The extreme reaction to high anxiety
An anxiety attack, also called a panic attack, is characterised mainly by symptoms such as shortness of breath, racing heart, sweating, shaking, dizziness, faintness, pins and needles in the limbs and many more possible symptoms. An anxiety attack is the most intense form of high anxiety and can make the sufferer believe that they are suffering from a heart attack.
Although anxiety attacks 'feel' threatening, they are not, high anxiety developed in humans as a form of 'self preservation' so why would something so natural be threatening? It stands to reason that unlike any other emotion, anxiety or fear, produce a range of dramatic physical changes in us, but NONE are threatening in any way.
You will be shocked at just how quickly they can be eliminated too!
How Anxiety Conditions Develop
Anxiety disorder sufferers may develop one or more of a group of recognised anxiety conditions:
- Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Panic Disorder (Panic Attacks)
- Phobias
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Social Anxiety
- Situational Anxiety
In addition, inappropriate anxiety will likely trigger a range of anxiety symptoms - extreme psychological and physiological anxiety responses.
It is important to understand that these anxiety conditions are part of an anxiety disorder and not 'stand alone' conditions. They cannot exist without an underlying anxiety disorder.
It is estimated that the UK has as many as 20 million sufferers of an anxiety condition, approximately one in three people.
Anxiety Treatment / Cures
First, let me tell you this:
In less than 1 MONTH you can be completely anxiety free! I did it in days and my clients experience the exact same!
If total anxiety elimination is to be achieved, a targeted anxiety treatment method must be followed in order to address the ROOT CAUSE of the anxiety directly and to provide seamless support to the sufferer.
An anxiety cure must address the anxiety at its source in the subconscious mind rather than attempt to superficially change behaviours or try to address anxiety symptoms through so called, 'anxiety medication' drug therapies or psychotherapy in isolation.
A drug and therapy free anxiety cure is available which allows the sufferer to recover quickly and permanently using a simple and comfortable anxiety treatment methodology.
I GUARANTEE anxiety elimination How?
Use The Linden Method at any time, when you are ready, within 12 months of joining the programme and IF we don't get you completely well again, I will refund your money.

BUT, you won't need 12 months that I assure you!
You will start to experience immediate results within days, your anxiety will fade away and you will feel more confident, calm and positive that, I assure you.
"You must begin to understand what anxiety truly is and what you can do now to completely erase it. When I say completely, that is exactly what I mean. I know you have probably been told that anxiety is something with which you must learn to cope, but coping strategies are a disguise, not a solution!
In order to become anxiety disorder free, you must do what myself and every other recovered sufferer has done. I discovered the solution through endless research and tenacity... you have discovered it because I can tell you exactly how you can undo the disorder... turn it all around and end up as if you never had it at all... in fact better than that... you will feel stronger, more intuitive and more capable than ever before.
It is amazing the strength that anxiety disorder builds inside of you which isn't revealed until you eliminate the anxiety disorder and the fear of fear which shrouds it.
I guarantee a cure... if we don't achieve it, we will refund you. Do you know how many refunds we give to COMPLYING clients for whom it has failed? ZERO. Why? Because if you do it... it works, without fail.
Give us the opportunity to show you how you can quickly and permanently erase your anxiety and become the person you know you can be."
