Bill de Blasio and Ed Lee
Looking for San Francisco's Bill de Blasio? His Name is Ed Lee
by Randy Shaw' Dec. 12' 2013
With New York City's election of progressive Bill de Blasio as mayor, I hear many ask: when will San Francisco get its own progressive mayor? The answer is that the city already has such a mayor in Ed Lee, whose progressive record de Blasio would be fortunate to match. This week, Lee announced support for raising the city's minimum wage. Previously, his leadership led to voter approval of a $1.5 billion affordable housing trust fund. Lee is the first San Francisco mayor to prioritize amending the state Ellis Act to reduce evictions, and his economic polices have greatly reduced unemployment. Progressives in NYC will cheer if de Blasio makes similar gains.
But for the primarily white "Bay Guardian progressives," Ed Lee will never be "their" guy. And the irony is that Bill de Blasio would not meet their standards either. After all, NYC's new progressive mayor backed the massive Atlantic Yards gentrification and displacement strategy for Brooklyn which bypassed public processes and used eminent domain to enrich wealthy developers. Compared to the sixteen highrises and sports arena (the Barclays Center) that comprises Atlantic Yards, 8 Washington's impact would have been akin to a one-hour change in a loading zone. The San Francisco progressives unhappy with Lee would also find Bill de Blasio wanting, as they would any politician capable of building the broad support necessary to be elected a big-city mayor.
School Beat: New Survey on Parent Engagement
by Lisa Schiff' Dec. 12' 2013
Parent engagement, a significant factor in a child's education, was in the news again last week. Results of a survey conducted by
(an education research and awareness group) were released to the public last Thursday, reconfirming the validity of some long-standing, widely accepted ideas while bringing to the surface a few unspoken, somewhat uncomfortable truths.
EdSource contacted over one thousand California parents to find out how much they knew about our state's new school funding strategy (the
Local Control Funding Formula, or LCFF
), how satisfied they were with their children's schools, and how interested and able they were to participate in budget decision making. The first and last of these are of particular importance at this moment in California's public education system, since our newly revised funding and accountability structure--the very LCFF strategy EdSource contacted parents about--has deep community engagement structured directly in it. Given that this engagement is also disturbingly unspecified, parents' awareness of and willingness to dive in are all the more important.
A Review of
Save Our Unions Dispatches from A Movement in Distress
by Carl Finamore' Dec. 12' 2013
There is still time during the holidays to purchase labor journalist Steve Early's very readable and quite reflective latest book, Save Our Unions, published by
Monthly Review Press
But books on labor are notoriously misunderstood and conspicuously undersold. This is really too bad. Like other books describing how people live and what they struggle for, Save Our Union records a very human story – a running narrative from an author who was directly reporting, and often directly participating, in the unfolding human drama as it occurred. In 335 pages, Early analyzes the leadership, organization and strategy of the most significant labor struggles, debates and controversies of the past 40 years, right up to now.
Supreme Court Dismisses Mulhall v. Unite Here, Giving Labor a Lucky Escape
by Moshe Marvit' Dec. 12' 2013
Unions dodged a bullet today when the Supreme Court took the unusual step of dismissing the strange and possibly disastrous case of Mulhall v. Unite Here Local 355 as "improvidently granted."
Though the dismissal leaves some bad law in place in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which includes Florida, Alabama and Georgia, labor should nonetheless breathe a sigh of relief.
In Mulhall, a Florida casino employee backed by the anti-union National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation (NRTW) argued that neutrality agreements violate an anti-bribery provision in the Taft Hartley Act of 1947 and therefore constitute a federal crime.
New Planter Boxes on Jones Street
Tenderloin's New Approach to Safer Streets
by Randy Shaw' Dec. 11' 2013
Property owners near O'Farrell and Jones Streets have come up with a creative approach to combating drug dealing and problem sidewalk behavior: install planter boxes. The Pacific Bay Inn (which houses formerly homeless persons) recently placed planter boxes in front of its Jones Steet location and they are already being cheered by tenants, workers and others in the area. Longtime Pierre Hotel tenant Karen Taylor says "they make the whole block look nicer." The Central City SRO Collaborative (CCSRO) will install barrels planted with flowers and vegetables in front of some Tenderloin SRO's next spring. Such plantings do more than help create safer streets. According to studies in Charles Montgomery's new
Happy City: Transforming Our Lives Through Urban Design
, will also make Tenderloin residents happier through increased exposure to greenery.
ILWU Anti-Apartheid Protest in 1962
Bay Area Longshore Workers Led the Local Fight Against Apartheid
by Peter Cole' Dec. 11' 2013
With the passing of Nelson Mandela, our responsibility is to commemorate the global fight against apartheid and—more importantly—follow his lead and push for radical change in our own times. Though a tremendous leader, Mandela sat in prison for decades while millions of people, in South Africa and around the world, built the most impressive global movement in recent history. In the San Francisco Bay area a passionate cadre of longshore workers led the to fight to overthrow the racist, oppressive regime. In November 1984, days after Ronald Reagan's landslide re-election, members of Local 10 of the International Longshore & Warehouse Union (ILWU) refused to touch South African cargo for eleven days, arguably the most dramatic act in the Bay area, itself a leader in America's anti-apartheid movement.
by Rochelle Metcalfe' Dec. 11' 2013
NELSON MANDELA peacefully transition to the other side. R.I.P. MADIBA. During the summer, his severe illness kept many of us on edge, touch and go; he lingered a little longer until December 5. He was 95. We knew he would leave us soon, not knowing the exact time or day, The Nobel Peace Prize winner died at his home in Johannesburg. REST, SWEET WARRIOR....YOU FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT!
Mandela was a great man of courage, vision, hope, forgiveness, love for human kind - a graceful man. Madiba, as his family lovingly calls him, spent 27 years behind prison bars in 1962, for his opposition to apartheid, the oppressive, violent system of segregation created by South Africa's white minority government. He became an international symbol of the struggle for black liberation and universal human rights!
Can Socialists Win Elections in the U.S.?
by Bhaskar Sunkara and Micah Uetricht' Dec. 11' 2013
Kshama Sawant of Seattle showed socialist victories are possible. Will they spread?
"Indian-origin Kshama Sawant is first elected socialist in U.S.,"
read a headline from
The Times of India
, the world's most widely circulated English-language daily. This was testament to the attention Sawant's campaign for Seattle City Council has generated—and to how much of America's socialist heritage has been forgotten.
Dec. 5 Protesters outside a McDonald's
The Media Crap Shoot
by Randy Shaw' Dec. 10' 2013
On December 5, fast food workers in over 100 cities carried out their largest mass protest in history. The protests built upon similar events held in fifty cities in August. The national media wrote advance stories on the plight of low-paid fast food workers which even before the protests occurred helped revive national focus on rising inequality in the United States. And considering that the December 5 fast food protests were large, boisterous, and colorful, they would have dominated evening news broadcasts and the following day's newspapers but for an unforeseen development: legendary freedom fighter Nelson Mandela died in South Africa during the protests. Mandela's death understandably dominated television news for the balance of the day, while the fast food protests were ignored. While labor and activists groups promoted the protests through social media, traditional media sources continued wall to wall Mandela coverage through December 6, a day which otherwise would have put fast food workers in the spotlight,
While few outside Rush Limbaugh
criticized the media for excessive coverage of Mandela
, fast food workers and their supporters got a very unlucky break as to the timing of his death. It follows a less dramatic example of media plans going awry when nationwide immigrant rights protests long planned for October 5 were eclipsed by the ongoing government shutdown. Such examples again demonstrate why activists must win through ongoing organizing rather than putting too many eggs in the media basket.
Rally Today Against Urban Green, Ellis Act Eviction Speculators
by Sarah Sherburn-Zimmer and Tina Cheung' Dec. 10' 2013
At 12pm on Tuesday, Dec 10th, the direct action housing rights group, Eviction Free San Francisco, allies and individual community supporters and activists will gather to hold a rally in front of 1746 Union Street, the offices of out-of-state speculators and mass evictors, Urban Green LLC. The rally is being staged to demand that Urban Green drop all of the Ellis Act Evictions and also to bring attention to the abuse of the Ellis Act and the need for state reform. The event is being endorsed by Tenderloin Housing Clinic, Chinatown Community Development Center as well as Housing Rights Committee of SF. The rally will include speeches from current Urban Green tenants being evicted, other San Franciscan Ellis Act evictees, as well as organizers from both housing and environmental groups who will expose Urban Green as green washers who use environmentalism as a marketing scheme, while mass-evicting San Franciscans from their homes.

LNXI is much smaller than Cray was at the time. I don't think there are that many cultural differences ... a number of ex-SGIers were over at LNXI.

Exceptions to the rule
Take a look through the Labor Department's data on wages and you'll see an astonishing pattern. Never mind modernity and women's liberation, men still make more than women in almost all occupations. The reasons for the broad disparity are complicated, but these jobs are among the rare exceptions.

Ambient noise can do a lot to help boost your creativity
We've talked about how mild ambient noise can keep you motivated and productive
Dear Lifehacker,
I know that the trend lately at Yahoo
Several studies have previously shown that coffee shop buzz is good for your creativity
Dear Lifehacker,
I read about why working from a coffee shop can be good for you
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, many East Coasters had to work from home or a remote office for a week or longer. Parse.ly CEO Sachin Kamdar was one of them. Here, he explains how working from home post-Sandy inspired him to keep it up one day each week (plus, his rules for successful telecommuting).
Working from home has its benefits
You don't need statistics to tell you that it's not easy to find a job, but they're around to reaffirm that unfortunate reality. With few opportunities, low salaries, and hardly any time to make a good impression, it can often seem hopeless. But just because the numbers may be against you, that doesn't mean you can't…
Dear Lifehacker,
My job lets me work from home from time to time, so usually when I'm sick I just work from my sick bed. I know I should just take it easy, but I feel like a slacker when I take a sick day, knowing that I could drag myself to my computer and work. How do I take it easy and shake my guilty conscience…
Many of us are more productive when working in a "third place"
Dear Lifehacker,
I cannot stomach the idea of working in an office for the rest of my life. The idea of being forced to head to work for a set number of hours in a specific place is incredibly stifling. Now, I'm not lazy. I'm a very hard worker, but I don't like being confined. It feels like it drains my creativity. Is …
If you have the opportunity to telecommute regularly, or even work from home every now and again, the temptation can be strong to just put your feet up and forget about work unless you have to check in occasionally and clear out your inbox or dial in to a meeting. Occasional slacking is fine, but there's no faster way …
There've been studies into the benefits of telecommuting before, but they were usually lacking in certain areas, which resulted in the findings being less than scientific (and thus not super trustworthy). This time a Stanford University study used a Chinese travel agency with over 12,000 employees as its base, and…
If you've been considering a coworking space for an affordable and social work environment
If you're self-employed or frequently telecommute, you may find yourself itching to find another place to get some work done that's not your home office. Many people head straight for their local coffee shop, but coworking centers offer an affordable alternative that feels more like an actual office.
It doesn't matter whether your work remotely or from home, or if your colleagues or classmates are scattered across the globe, trying to coordinate efforts when everyone is in a different time zone or working from a different location can be difficult. Here are some ways to smooth the distance over and stay…
As the quote above—from novelist Orhan Pamuk—illustrates, being a little eccentric can help you prime yourself to work more creatively. Sometimes the best thing is to embrace your peculiarities. As a telecommuter, for example, starting the day with a little walk around the block can only be good for you.

The Lion King [Blu-Ray]
Director : s Roger Allers & Rob Minkoff
Screenplay : Irene Mecchi and Jonathan Roberts and Linda Woolverton
MPAA Rating : G
Year of Release : 1994
The opening 10 minutes of The Lion King are quite possibly the finest achievement in the entirety of the hand-drawn Disney canon. Set to Hans Zimmer's robust orchestrations of Elton John's now iconic "The Circle of Life," which is deeply enriched by a chorus of traditional African chants led by the inimitable cadences of singer Lebo M., the sequence is pure anthropomorphic fantasy, with the entire Serengeti gathering and bowing at the foot of Pride Rock where Mufasa (James Earl Jones), the lion king, presents his heir, a newborn cub named Simba. These opening moments encompass the richness of animation at its finest, but also stand as great filmmaking in the silent film tradition, presenting story and character and setting with a wealth of traditional cinematic devices (camera movement, rack focus, long takes) and without a word of dialogue. It is no wonder that the Disney marketing department declined to put together a pre-release trailer and instead just showed the opening sequence.
As it turns out, the rest of the film doesn't quite live up to those first moments, despite a robust effort from the entire production team (most of whom were Disney's second tier, with the A-Team ironically working on Pocahontas) and a game cast of voice talents who breathe life into their often one-dimensional characters. The story, which draws heavily on Biblical and Shakespearean allusions (but also manages to work in fart jokes and lines of dialogue from Taxi Driver and In the Heat of the Night), focuses on the regal rivalry between Mufasa and his sniveling younger brother Scar (Jeremy Irons), who bemoans his secondary status despite his superior intellect. Mufasa is grooming young Simba (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) to be heir to the throne when Scar conspires with a trio of hyenas (two of whom are voiced by Whoopi Goldberg and Cheech Marin) to knock off the king, banish Simba, and assume power with devastating consequences.
Once banished, Simba is taken in by an unlikely duo: a chatty meerkat named Timon (Nathan Lane) and a flatulent warthog named Pumbaa (Ernia Sabella) who teach him the philosophy of "hakuna matata" (which means "no worries") in what is easily the film's funniest and liveliest setpiece (Simba's earlier song "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" is too cutesy for its own good and the film fails to deliver on the implied narcissism of the boy prince). Simba grows into adulthood (now voiced by Matthew Broderick) and, as all disgraced heroes must do, eventually returns to reclaim his kingdom from Scar's clutches. That he does this at the behest of Nala (Moira Kelly), his childhood best friend and adult love interest, is the closest the film comes to any kind of female presence, which is interesting given that Disney's previous animated films, including The Little Mermaid (1989), Beauty & the Beast (1992), and Aladdin (1992), had all featured headstrong female characters (although they all clearly fell short of being genuinely progressive in their gender dynamics). The Lion King, on the other hand, is a male-centric story through and through, celebrating in no uncertain terms a boy's growth into manhood and his natural claiming of his father's power.
During the production, there was much doubt within the Mouse House that The Lion King would be successful. It was their first animal-centric movie since the underwhelming The Rescuers Down Under (1990) and it was the first Disney movie ever to be based on an original story, thus it didn't fit with the studio's most recent hits; even Jeffrey Katzenberg, who first suggested the idea back in the late 1980s, said he would have been elated if it had made $50 million. Nevertheless, it turned out to be not only one of the biggest animated hits of all time, but a genuine blockbuster that marked the high point of the Disney animation renaissance that had begun with The Little Mermaid five years earlier. The Lion King isn't nearly as good as its phenomenal success might suggest, although it is significantly better than both the anemic films Disney was producing in the late 1970s and early 1980s and the Disney films that followed, which proved that the formula of underdog hero(ine), catchy musical numbers, and funny sidekicks has an expiration date (at least a temporary one). And, most importantly, for a generation of American kids, The Lion King is a defining film they will always love, and its recent ascent to the top of the box office charts in a 3-D re-release suggests that it still holds the power to move that generation's children just as it moved them.

Release Date | October 4, 2011 |
Presented in a 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer taken from what looks to be an absolutely pristine print, The Lion King looks truly regal. One of the things I have really appreciated about watching animated films in high-definition is how it restores the minute details that remind us of their hand-drawn origins. Although The Lion King incorporates CGI in several sequences, most notably the wildebeest stampede, the majority of it was hand-drawn and inked, which the transfer presents with great accuracy and depth (although I reviewed the 2-D Blu-Ray, the film is extraordinarily multidimensional). Colors are rich and beautifully rendered, and the high level of detail invites us to lose ourselves in the imagery. The DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1-channel surround soundtrack is also excellent, with great separation to draw us into the action and enrich the memorable songs. The low end is also quite impressive, giving the wildebeest stampede and the battle at the end a thundering sense of presence. | |
The Lion King Diamond Edition Blu-Ray includes all of the supplements included on the previous Platinum Edition DVD release, although many of them can be accessed only via BD-Live. Thus, I will focus my comments on the new material. First up is Pride of the Lion King, an excellent 48-minute retrospective documentary that features interviews with many of the talents involved in making the film, including co-directors Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff, composer Hans Zimmer, lyricist Tim Rice, Disney executives Jeffrey Katzenberg and Michael Eisner, and actors Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane. A good portion of the documentary covers the production and reception of the film's Broadways adaptation and includes an interview with director Julie Taymor. Also new is "The Lion King: A Memoir--Don Hahn" featurette, in which producer Don Hahn reminisces about the film's long (and sometimes tortured) journey to the screen. This is a fun featurette because it includes a lot of interview footage and images from the time of the film's production. Also on the disc are 14 minutes of deleted and extended scenes introduced by the directors, including a deleted song by Mufasa. All of these scenes were cut at the preliminary stages, so they exist only as pencil sketches and a soundtrack. There is also a lame blooper reel whose animation looks distinctly different from the animation in the film, the Disney Singalong Mode, and an interactive gallery. The disc also supports Disney Second Screen-enabled devices. |

A suspicious package left outside the American Tin Cannery outlet mall in Pacific Grove on Tuesday contained hypodermic needles, said Monterey fire Division Chief Felix Colello.
After police and firefighters converged on the mall shortly after 9 a.m. in response to a hazardous materials call, the woman who left the package informed them of its contents, he said.
She had found the syringes, put them in the box, sealed it, hand-printed warnings that the box contained hazardous materials and drew a skull and crossbones on it to discourage anyone from opening it.
She then put it out with the trash outside the Reebok store, Colello said.
"She was trying to do the right thing," he said, "and did the wrong thing."
The sheriff's bomb squad, Salinas Fire Department's hazardous material response team and Pacific Grove police responded, blocking off Ocean View Boulevard from Eardley Street to Dewey Avenue, and evacuated the mall while the package was investigated.

Posted: Jan 31, 2013 5:43 PM by Associated Press
Updated: Jan 31, 2013 6:30 PM
MEXICO CITY (AP) - An explosion at the main headquarters of Mexico's state-owned oil company in the capital Thursday heavily damaged three floors of the building, sending hundreds into the streets and a large plume of smoke over the skyline. Pemex reports 14 dead, 80 injured.
There was no immediate cause given for the explosion which occurred in the basement of an administrative building next to the iconic, 52-story tower of Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex.
"It was an explosion, a shock, the lights went out and suddenly there was a lot of debris," employee Cristian Obele told Milenio television, adding that he had been injured in the leg. "Co-workers helped us get out of the building."
The tower, where several thousand people work, was evacuated. The main floor and the mezzanine of the auxiliary building, where the explosion occurred, were heavily damaged, along with windows as far as three floors up.
"We were talking and all of sudden we heard an explosion with white smoke and glass falling from the windows," said Maria Concepcion Andrade, 42, who lives on the block of Pemex building. "People started running from the building covered in dust. A lot of pieces were flying."
A reporter at the scene saw rescue workers trying to free several workers trapped. Television images showed people being evacuated by office chairs, and gurneys. Most of them had injuries likely caused by falling debris.
Police landed four rescue helicopters to remove the dead or injured. About a dozen tow trucks were furiously moving cars to make more landing room for the helicopters.
In an earlier Tweet, the company said it had evacuated the building as a precautionary measure because of a problem with the electrical system in the complex that includes the skyscraper. It tweeted that several workers were injured.
Streets surrounding the building were closed as evacuees wandered around, and rescue crews loaded the injured into ambulances.
Interior Department spokesman Eduardo Sanchez confirmed that an explosion in a basement garage damaged the first and second floors of the auxiliary building, which is located in a busy commercial and residential area.

I would love to win this for the little ones. It would be great to have wonderfully dressed kids.
I had heard of it from a artical when she started it but at that time I had no small children so wasn't intrested but now have triplets in our family I could use this for. Tori has good taste in clothes and the outfits shown above are really cute so I know they are great things to choose from. Thanks for the chance to win.
Hope Tori and her mother will form a strong love and bond that can never be broken again, Life's too short we sometimes realize too late.

Prairie View, Texas Saturday, October 19, 2013
"Buffalo Soldiers" was the nickname given to African American members of the U.S. Army's 10th Cavalry Regiment -- the first peacetime all-black regiment, established in 1866. University of Washington professor Quintard Taylor discusses the racism and backlash these troops faced while trying to carry out their duty to protect settlers in the American West. Professor Taylor argues that these men were heroes and underappreciated in their time, and today. This event took place at Prairie View A&M University in Texas.

The 54th Massachusetts was the first all-African American regiment to be organized in the North after President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. Among its provisions, the proclamation allowed black men to participate in the Union military. Following their formation, the 54th was sent to South Carolina to take part in operations against Confederate forces. In this program, Beverly Morgan-Welch, the Executive Director of the Museum of African American History, discusses the role and contributions of Boston's free black community and the 54th Regiment in the fight against slavery. The Paul Revere Memorial Association & the Old South Meeting House organized this event.

In this program from our 1999 "American Presidents: Life Portraits" series we focused on Jimmy Carter's life and career. Historians discussed his childhood in Plains, Georgia, his naval career, his early political career, and several aspects of his presidency including his handling of the Camp David Accords. They also talked about his life and work after the presidency. The program, which includes archival audio recordings and film, was recorded in Plains, Georgia.
All U.S. presidents, regardless of their background, serve as commanders-in-chief of the nation's military. In this program, author Andrew Polsky analyzes the wartime decisions of several U.S. presidents, from Abraham Lincoln to Barack Obama. He argues that a president's actions at the onset of war can determine its outcome. He also contends that as a war continues, presidential involvement can become less effective -- and even disastrous. The New York Military Affairs Symposium in New York City hosted this event.
Theodore Roosevelt was one of the major figures in America's Progressive movement in the early 20th century. But key to his influence was the support of Kansas City Star newspaper publisher William Rockhill Nelson. Historian Lewis Gould maintains that Nelson played a larger role in Roosevelt's political fortunes than has been realized. Gould is a distinguished visiting history professor at Monmouth College. This talk took place at the Kansas City Public Library in Kansas City, Missouri.

Brown University professor Megan Kate Nelson examines guerrilla warfare in the American Civil War. Guerrilla warfare is largely characterized by its tactics, including ambushes and surprise raids on unsuspecting troops and towns. There were bands of guerrilla soldiers fighting on both the Union and Confederate sides during the Civil War. These small bands of men on horseback were very nimble and difficult to capture, especially Confederate guerrillas who often did not wear uniforms and blended back into the population after an attack. Brown University is in Providence, Rhode Island.

This is an abridged version of the classic; not an exact reproduction (including pictures). I was hoping the sliding fish along the top would be the same colors as described in the book, but they're not. Still, my 11-month-old granddaughter likes the book, so I'm satisfied in an average kind of way. For right now, until she develops her fine motor skills and while she enjoys the sound of ripping paper, I'm satisfied with this book despite my disappointment.

Comments about Levy Home Entertainment Dr. Seuss's One Fish, Two Fish, Three, Four, Five Fish! Book:
It is an abridged version of the original book and it is perfect for tiny ones. I agree with another reviewer that it would be nice if the plastic fish on top were the same colors used in the book but in spite of that my daughter still loves the book. SOme days she will have us read to her 20+ times, no exaggeration. It was a great babyshower gift.

Sturdy book and the moving fish are cool. He likes to bite the fish now that he has some teeth. The only negative is the book is very short, I thought it was the entire "One Fish, Two Fish" story in baby book form. It's about 10 pages.

Championship Ringz a make him dance.
Jacoby Jones, who you may better know as the guy who kept Baltimore's Super Bowl hopes alive with that incredible late game touchdown against the Denver Broncos, has taken his talents to the newest season of "Dancing with the Stars." In the season premiere he TOTALLY KILLED It, busting out a tremendous routine alongisde Ukranian dancer Karina Smirnoff. A fellow competitor is already touting him as the man to beat. It's very impressive, and it's a good reason NEVER to go to the same club/attempt to win over the same sexay fox as Jacoby Jones.

Nope.. it's in Friends and Family Beta..
Which from what we gather is somewhere between Alpha testing and Closed Beta.
From what I can deduce.. (Educated guesses based on comments from the Devs here, on twitter, facebook, etc.. , my previous Beta testing experiences... etc.. So take it for what its worth)
Alpha got to the point of the Mech mechanics to work and getting in the cockpit and getting the big Mechs to fight it out. (Pre-GDC)
Once they got that done and were out of GDC, they have been working on getting the GUI, Launcher, Patcher, Mech Lab, etc.. working
F&F Beta is to confirm all that works, and getting the core of the game and the GUI to about 90%
ALL that was done primarily on stations at PGI, with few players getting to play from outside the main offices.
Closed Beta will be getting the finishing touches on it, checking the network code, and letting some crazies on it to try to break it.. Be it by trying to run crazy control setups, trying to play on a number of different systems to see how that affects the game play / lag. etc.. This should be when they start looking for folks from around the world/country to do small stress tests on the network, etc.. (I'm guessing May-June time frame)
Open Beta will be stress testing, and making sure they do some final balancing and tweaking. ( If they are on schedule.. thinking by my Birthday.. 8-24 )

I am really swimming against the current concerning what I am about to say. Casting Crowns new number one hit is driving me crazy! In truth, I would like this song as much as other people do if it were not for the word "If" in the song's title. The song I'm talking about of course is "If We've Ever Needed You".
Am I the only person who has a problem with the word "if" used in this context? Am I making a huge grammatical error? Am I translating this title incorrectly?
This is the definition of the word "if" from an online dictionary:
1. in case that; granting or supposing that; on condition that: Sing if you want to. Stay indoors if it rains. I'll go if you do.
2. even though: an enthusiastic if small audience.3. whether: He asked if I knew spanish.
4. (used to introduce an exclamatory phrase): If only Dad could see me now!
5. when or whenever: If it was raining, we had to play inside.
–noun6. a supposition; uncertain possibility: The future is full of ifs.7. a condition, requirement, or stipulation: There are too many ifs in his agreement.
8. ifs, ands, or buts, reservations, restrictions, or excuses: I want that job finished today, and no ifs, ands, or buts.
bef. 900; ME, var. of yif, OE gif, gef; akin to ON ef if, Goth ibai whether, OHG iba condition, stipulation
1, 2. If, provided, providing imply a condition on which something depends. If is general. It may be used to indicate suppositions or hypothetical conditions (often involving doubt or uncertainty): If you like, we can go straight home. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone. If may mean even though: If I am wrong, you are not right. It may mean whenever: If I do not understand, I ask questions. Provided always indicates some stipulation: I will subscribe ten dollars provided ( on the condition ) that you do, too. Provided he goes, we can go along. Providing means the same as provided, that is, just in case some certain thing should happen: We will buy the house, providing ( provided ) we can get a mortgage.
I'm not sure if that definition clears anything up. In my mind the word "if" used in such a phrase as "if we have ever needed you, it is now" conveys a meaning that says "it is possible that I never had need of you before, but given my current circumstances I do need you now".
I suppose it is possible to say this phrase to some people in my life. It would seem ridiculous for me to say this to my mother however. From the moment of my conception I needed my mother. I wouldn't have survived my first nine months without her. After my birth there were times that I needed her more and times when I needed her less.
Even more ridiculous however would be for me to say to God Almighty, the One who regulates every breath I take, Who holds the Universe in the palm of His hand, "If I have ever needed you…" On a basic level saying that to God is naive. On a broader scale it seems arrogant and in the worst case scenario it seems blasphemous.
If we (Christians) are truly people of the Word, shouldn't we be careful about how we phrase our words? If truth (God's truth) matters shouldn't we walk circumspectly in grammatical areas too?

Rescue workers cut away parts of a sewage pipe where a newborn baby was trapped
In this still image taken from video from Saturday May 25, 2013, rescue workers cut away parts of a sewage pipe where a newborn baby was trapped in Pujiang in east China's Zhejiang province. Chinese firefighters have rescued a newborn boy from a sewer pipe below a squat toilet, sawing out an L-shaped section and then delicately dismantling it to free the trapped baby, who greeted the rescuers with cries. A tenant heard the baby's sounds in the public restroom of a residential building in Zhejiang province in eastern China on Saturday and notified authorities, according to the state-run news site Zhejiang News. A video of the two-hour rescue that followed was broadcast widely on Chinese news programs and websites late Monday and Tuesday. (AP Photo) CHINA OUT

Tapentadol Sometimes Better Tolerated, But Opioids Still First Line |
New post hoc data from a 1-year safety study of tapentadol extended release show that the drug is well tolerated in low back pain and osteoarthritis. Investigators presenting here at the American Pain Society 29th Annual Scientific Meeting showed that tapentadol extended release has a strong safety profile and is sometimes better tolerated than oxycodone controlled release. Still, the most common adverse events with tapentadol are nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sleepiness, and headaches. Some experts say that even though the Johnson & Johnson product, known as Nucynta, is becoming increasingly well known, it makes sense to use opioids as first-line therapy and to try tapentadol only if the adverse effects become intolerable. "I'm never quick to jump on the bandwagon for new drugs before the postmarketing surveillance has had an opportunity to identify problems," Gilbert Fanciullo, MD, from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire, who was not involved in the study, told Medscape Neurology. "I'm very proprietary of my patients and would never want to put them at risk." Dr. Fanciullo pointed out that current opioid therapies have more postmarketing experience and are the best first option. "Tapentadol could be initiated second line in patients who are experiencing difficulties," he said. "I am hopeful about the potential for this drug." Tapentadol acts as both an opioid and nonopioid agent. The new molecular entity is structurally similar to tramadol (Ultram, Grünenthal). "It has 2 mechanisms of action," poster presenter David Biondi, MD, said during an interview. Dr. Biondi works for Ortho-McNeil Janssen, a Johnson & Johnson company. Tapentadol is a μ-opioid-receptor agonist that also inhibits reuptake of norepinephrine, he explained, which could have an analgesic effect. Tapentadol extended release was initially evaluated in a phase 3, randomized, open-label, 1-year safety study. The work was funded by Johnson & Johnson in New Jersey and Grünenthal in Germany. The study involved 1117 patients with moderate to severe chronic low back pain or osteoarthritis. Investigators report that tapentadol had similar analgesic effects to oxycodone. The post hoc analysis of this study focused on the rate of treatment-emergent adverse events. The researchers suggest that tapentadol is associated with better gastrointestinal tolerability than oxycodone. Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events in at Least 10% of Patients
In the tapentadol group, 22% of patients experienced an adverse event leading to the discontinuation of treatment; in the oxycodone group, 37% did. Dr. Biondi and his team did not discuss the overall rate of discontinuation in their poster, but according to previous reports, these numbers were high in both groups (46% for tapentadol and 57% for oxycodone). Asked by Medscape Neurology to comment on these numbers when they were first presented last spring, Roger Chou, MD, from the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, said that "since there were no differences in pain relief, the potential advantage of tapentadol really lies in its superior safety profile." Dr. Gary Vorsanger However, Dr. Chou wondered about the discontinuation numbers in the study. "It's interesting that tapentadol had a lower risk for discontinuation because of adverse events, but that overall discontinuation rates were similar. This suggests that people stopped tapentadol for other reasons possibly because it was less beneficial," he said. Dr. Chou suggests that because the 2 treatments show similar efficacy, it makes sense from a clinical standpoint to use oxycodone first and to only consider tapentadol, which is more expensive, for patients who develop intolerable adverse effects. The investigators conducted a second post hoc analysis of the study, another poster presentation at the meeting, which evaluated the effect of previous opioid experience on treatment. About half the patients in the original 1-year safety study had previously taken opioids: 53% of the tapentadol group and 50% of the oxycodone group. Dr. Biondi reports that patients who had previously taken opioids were less likely to discontinue study treatments. Effect of Previous Opioid Use on Discontinuations
Coauthor Gary Vorsanger, MD, also from Ortho-McNeil Janssen, pointed out that regardless of a patient's previous opioid use, tapentadol extended release was associated with fewer treatment-related adverse events, gastrointestinal disorders, and discontinuations than oxycodone. "It is well tolerated and the trends we are seeing are similar to the original safety study," Dr. Vorsanger said during an interview. The researchers point out that, irrespective of opioid exposure, the most common treatment-related adverse events were typical of μ-opioid-receptor agonists and included gastrointestinal and nervous system disorders. The studies were supported by Johnson & Johnson and Grünenthal GmbH. Dr. Gilbert Fanciullo reports serving on an early advisory panel for tapentadol. Dr. David Biondi and Dr. Gary Vorsanger report working for Ortho-McNeil Janssen, which is owned by Johnson & Johnson. Dr. Roger Chou has disclosed no relevant financial relationships.
