Bombardment of besieged Syrian city of Homs intensifies [Dubai TV, UAE]
Presenter, Female #1
It was a bloody dawn in Homs as the Syrian regime continues to use an iron fist on the city's neighborhoods. More than 50 people were killed during the early morning hours in an attack described as the most violent. Army and security forces stormed several of Homs's neighborhoods, most notably Baba Amero, which endured heavy shelling. The residents issued an urgent appeal to protect the children and women as well as provide aid to the injured. The situation in Homs is not much different from the one in Daraa or Idlib, amid the sounds of gunfire and calls for relief and aid. Al-Seghair Salam reports.

The city of Homs spent the night under heavy shelling and woke up this morning to a fierce attack by Syrian armed forces. The shelling targeted the neighborhoods of Baba Amero, al-Khalidiyah, Biadah, Karm al-Zaytoun, Rifa'i, and Wadi al-Arab, in a bid by the army and security forces to storm them. Columns of smoke were seen rising from several homes, which were either razed to the ground or partially destroyed over their occupants, raising the death toll by the minute in light of this unprecedented attack on the city. Activists in Homs said that the shelling is targeting water networks and power lines, amid reports that 40 percent of the city's homes have been damaged and some areas completely destroyed. This video leaked from one of the city's homes, which was turned into a bleak field hospital, shows that dozens of injured are being left without any basic medical supplies. And this video shows members of the Free Syrian Army, who vowed to defend civilians and provide medical aid and medicine if available. In Homs, there is no evidence of the reforms promised by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad at the beginning of the uprising. The only evidence here points to heavy gunfire and bombings that continue to rock Homs's neighborhoods, which are rejecting the use of gunfire and iron fist to deal with their demands, most notably freedom and the downfall of the regime. Another voice is echoing across Syria's Homs, which seems to be enduring more than its share of the shelling. It's the voice of women and children, who sought refuge in basements to escape the shelling. From these basements, they issued an appeal for relief, in the hopes that someone will hear them and protect them from the indiscriminate shelling.

Don't they fear God? Isn't a sin to leave this infant at the shelter with no heater? Isn't what's happening to this little girl a sin?
Reporter, Male #1
From central to southern Syria, particularity Daraa, the epicenter of the uprising against al-Assad's rule, Syrian women are crying for help amid the piles of dead men's bodies. In the streets of Daraa, residents chanted slogans denouncing President al-Assad and the army's crackdown. And this was the regime's response, which seems to be blaring louder, for now.
Presenter, Female #1
These are live images from the city of Daraa, the epicenter of the protests against the Syrian regime. The residents took to the streets in funeral processions to mourn their dead, with dozens of victims continuing to fall on a daily basis. Today, the Syrian army launched the most violent campaign against the city of Homs. The army started a predawn operation by shelling several neighborhoods in Homs, and storming several others. Among the dead were several children.
Egypt's prime minister dismisses US aid cutoff threats [BBC Arabic, UK]
Presenter, Female #1
Egyptian Prime Minister Dr. Kamal al-Ganzouri said the Military Council will remain in power until the end of June, and that what is happening in Egypt is now considered a greater 'naksa', or setback, than that of 1967. Al-Ganzouri described the current events as an obstruction of the government's decisions, affirming that Egypt does not kneel to anyone and will make a strong comeback. Al-Ganzouri also said in a previous statement that Egypt will not change its position with regards to foreign funding for non-governmental organizations despite the US's threat to cut off aid. Al-Ganzaouri's statement comes after the Egyptian judiciary, which is investigating illegal funding for active local organizations in Egypt, accused these organizations of conducting illegal political activities. Three US senators warned Egypt that the relationship between the two countries is going through one of its worst phases after the Egyptian judiciary decided to take 19 American activists to court.
Reporter, Female #2
The Egyptian judges did not mitigate the campaign launched by authorities against non-governmental organizations in Egypt that receive foreign funds. Their decision summarizes the case by accusing these organizations of conducting illegal political activities.
Guest, Male #1 (Samih Abu Zeid, Judge)
So this is a legal examination, the decision was issued by legal experts in accordance with the law; it is not a raid, or a storming, or an attack. This point must be made clear. The second point is that during the investigation and after inspecting multiple international and foreign organizations illegally operating in Egypt, we issued a number of decisions to put many foreign defendants who were included in the investigation on the travel ban and restricted entry lists.
Reporter, Female #2
Dunne is one of those placed on a list to either be investigated or tried at a later time. He not only views the case as a personal matter, but considers it part of a campaign against civil society in Egypt.
Guest, Male #2 (Charles Dunne, Freedom House Director)
I think that there was a lot of optimism after the revolution, not only among Egyptians but also among Americans. There were hopes for a pure transition to real democracy. But the result has been disappointing in the last year because of the Military Council's actions.
Reporter, Female #2
Dunne links the judicial referrals of 43 non-governmental organization workers to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's statement that failing to put an end to the conflicts may lead to a cutoff of American aid to Egypt. He believes the referrals are an attempt by Egyptian authorities to affirm their patriotism. And while the Americans interpret this move as a message directed at them, some Egyptian revolutionaries consider it a message to them as well. The Military Council, and before it, President Hosni Mubarak, has always said that those taking to the street are working for what it refers to as a "foreign agenda." Najla Abu Mira'i, BBC.
Al-Shabab claims responsibility for Mogadishu suicide bombing [Al Jazeera, Qatar]
Presenter, Male #1
Al-Shabab al-Mujahideen movement in Somalia claimed responsibility for a bombing near Hotel Muna adjacent to a government district in Mogadishu. The movement said in a statement that the attack targeted a number of Somali members of parliament and officers in the Somali military intelligence service. The bombing was carried out with explosive devices placed in the area. The attack killed 11 people and wounded approximately 15 others. Meanwhile, despite the still unstable security situation, the Somali capital Mogadishu is witnessing efforts to restore order after two decades of wars that have led to overwhelming chaos in Somalia. The Mogadishu municipality began attempts to revive the role of traffic police despite their low competence and the deteriorated conditions of roads and public facilities in the city.
Reporter, Male #2
These men are trying to remove the impact of war in a country that has hardly known anything else for over two decades. Traffic police have resumed their duties, punishing drivers who violate traffic laws such as driving without a license. This has not happened in many years. The administration in Benadir Province is hoping this means a new beginning for restoring life to this city, even if resolves only one of the many needs of the city, which suffered from neglect and destruction during the long years of war.
Guest, Male #3 (Mahmoud Ahmed Tarsin, Mayor of Mogadishu)
Ninety percent of the city was destroyed. Reconstructing and restoring order to the city requires significant funds. Despite that, we will not stand idly by. We are trying to impose order on the street, and we only act within the limits of our capabilities.
Reporter, Male #2
In order to accelerate the success of this task, a bureau was opened to handle car registrations and to prepare traffic signs that will be installed on every street. The bureau will also teach drivers, who mostly learned to drive during the wars, to understand traffic signs.
Guest, Male #4
We used to have many problems in the streets. We are happy about every step taken to organize the traffic.
Reporter, Male #2
The hope for reviving life in the capital grew after the armed conflicts eased when al-Shabab al-Muhahideen fighters withdrew from the city. However, the country still faces many challenges such as the low competency of the staff and the fragile security situation, which may hinder the planned progress for restoration.
Guest, Male #5 (Ali Harsi, Traffic Police Commander)
We do not have motorcycles to chase law-violating vehicles, and we don't have anything to tow cars in accidents. We are short of equipment to help the traffic services. But I have high hopes that we will overcome this difficult phase.
Reporter, Male #2
This is a new phase that may remove the atmosphere of fear and anxiety that has haunted these streets for many years. Gradually, small changes are happening. They may not mean anything to people in developed countries, but in the eyes of a generation that knows nothing but war, these changes are a source of hope that public services will improve in their city, which has always produced news of either famine or armed conflicts. Omar Mahmoud, al-Jazeera, Mogadishu.
Yemen's Saleh to return to vote, as army defectors take to streets of Sa'ada [Al-Alam, Iran]
Presenter, Female # 1
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh said he will return to his country from the United States this month. He added that he will return before the Yemeni presidential elections scheduled for February 21. Saleh said in a statement posted on the Defense Ministry's website that he will return to his homeland at the end of his treatment to participate in the presidential elections. In the northern Yemeni province of Sa'ada, sectarianism and regionalism led several members of the military force to be dismissed and denied pay. They have since announced their defection and can be seen participating in protests demanding the downfall of the regime. They are asking to be reinstated to their positions.
Reporter, Male # 1
Across different Yemeni provinces, officers and soldiers offered their resignation from military units to join the revolution for change. The most notable resignation was announced by the leader of the armored division, who had supported the Riyadh agreement and whose forces played the same role as Saleh's forces. Then, members of his forces began defecting from the regime.
Guest, Male # 2
I joined the army in 2007. Then I joined the armored division. We were stationed for about two years when they made us flee the military camp. They stripped us of our rights; they stole our source of livelihood; where are our salaries from Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar? This is his signature. They came to our unit and said, "You are Houthis from the Maran region, you don't get a salary."
Reporter, Male # 1
Images of soldiers and officers from the defected unit recently appeared, following their participation in the revolutionaries' festivals in Sa'ada. They were dismissed and denied their salaries for different reasons.
Guest, Male # 3
It is a protest to demand the formation of a committee composed of soldiers and officers who were dismissed for racist, partisan, and sectarian reasons in the military camps.
Reporter, Male # 1
Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi spoke against the exclusionary practices applied to the residents of Sa'ada.
Guest, Male # 4 (Abdul Malik al-Houthi, Houthis Leader)
They want a civil state; they want a national independent army that is not under the control of foreign powers. An army that believes in fighting on the basis that Israel is its first enemy, not Sa'ada, not Taiz, not the south, or any other Yemeni area.
Reporter, Male # 1
Defected demonstrators in front of the Sa'ada provincial government headquarters are demanding their rights and their reinstatement at their workplaces. They don't view their affiliation to Sa'ada Province, or even the Houthis, as a valid reason for their dismissal.
Guest, Male # 5
They are accusing us of being Houthi members. Belonging to this sect, this group, is an honor. They are Yemenis; they are with the revolution.
Reporter, Male # 1
From across different military units, they were dismissed, fired, and denied their salaries with the only justification being sectarianism and regionalism. Abdel Rahman al-Abed, al-Alam, from the northern Yemeni Sa'ada Province.
South Sudan struggling in face of growing refugee crisis [Press TV, Iran]
One month has passed since the violence in South Sudan's Jonglei state killed more than 3,000 people and left nearly 90,000 in need of humanitarian assistance. Now the government and donor agencies are struggling to help those in need. Desperate, hungry, and in need of shelter; these are the situations of the almost ninety thousand people whose lives were devastated by the recent intercommunal violence in South Sudan's fragile Jonglei state. The violence, which has led to the death of over three thousand people, has been launched a month ago, yet many still remain displaced from their homes and in need of humanitarian assistance to survive. A situation which, if it gets worse, would not only be because of the government's failure to disarm the civilians, a solution proposed by many sides and believed to be the answer to the crisis, but because sending emergency relief to those in need would be close to mission impossible with the approach of South Sudan's rainy season. And whether the government fails to disarm the civilians in Jonglei or it fails to find ways to continue with the humanitarian relief supply even during the rainy which threatens to bring a humanitarian catastrophe, the victims remain to be the helpless people of the state, who have nowhere to turn to but the government. Jonglei state now poses not only a security challenge to the national government, but also a humanitarian challenge which, if it fails along with the security challenge, it would fail the lives of over one hundred thousand civilians.
Protestors slam Bahraini king's visits Saudi Arabia as "a humiliation" [Press TV, Iran]
The Bahraini king is in Saudi Arabia on an official visit to mark a cultural festival between the two countries. King Hamad al-Khalifa was greeted by the governor of the capital Riyadh along with the Bahraini ambassador to Saudi Arabia. Activists have criticized the visit, calling it "a humiliation of Bahrain's sovereignty." Riyadh last year sent thousands of troops and hundreds of tanks to Bahrain to crack down on the popular revolution. Protestors in Bahrain have repeatedly accused their government of trying to integrate the whole of their kingdom into Saudi Arabia. This, they say, is to safeguard their rule of the small Persian Gulf country.
Afghan government wants leading role in peace process with Taliban [Press TV, Iran]
US chief envoy to Afghanistan, Marc Grossman, has met with Taliban leaders as part of efforts to bring the militant group to the negotiating table. The senior Afghan official said the talks were held in Qatar in late January. Grossman later briefed Afghan President Hamid Karzai on the discussions when Karzai was visiting Italy. The Taliban have announced plans to open a political office in Qatar for the talks to go forward. Although the Afghan government has publicly supported the negotiations, it is concerned about being sidelined in the peace process. The Karzai government wants any talks with the Taliban to be led by Afghans.
Israeli banks, businesses, government offices close for general strike [IBA, Israel]
The National Labor Court remains in session at this hour in an effort to resolve the open-ended general strike, which went into effect this morning. Histadrut Chairman Ofer Eini continues to call for the personal intervention of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Government offices, banks, and much of the country's public transport facilities remain shut this morning, causing havoc for consumers. Some 500,000 Israeli workers began an open-ended strike, starting at six am. Many other service providers, such as the electric company, the country's hospitals, and Magen David Adom ambulance units worked at a reduced capacity. The strike went into effect after all night talks between the Histadrut Labor Union and the Finance Ministry broke down.
Lieberman: US and Israel in agreement on Iran [IBA, Israel]
Jerusalem and Washington have resolution, understanding, and agreement on how to deal with Iran. That's the word from Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who is currently in Washington for a round of talks with top American officials. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said today that he and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were in agreement on most of the issues raised at their meeting in Washington. At the top of that list, he said, there is understanding that Iran must be prevented from getting a nuclear weapon. Lieberman said Israel and the world should monitor the effects of sanctions already put in place and he thanked the United States for its recent efforts to levy sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
Israeli 'refusniks' speak out on YouTube [Palestine TV, Ramallah]

Guest, Male # 4
The "refusniks" phenomenon came about after the Second Palestinian Intifada in 2000, when the occupation intensified its aggression against the Palestinians. The Israeli government responded by arresting many of the soldiers, charging them with disobedience and refusing the mandatory service in the occupation army.

New operator definitions Getting comfortable with evaluating newly defined function operators
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- We're all used to the traditional operators like addition and subtraction
- and multiplication and division, and we've seen there's multiple ways to represent this
- but what we are going to do in this video is a little bit of fun.
- We are actually going to define our own operators.
- And what's neat about this it kind of shows how broad
- mathematics can be. And in a more practical sense it is something
- that you actually might see on some standardized test.
- And the reason why they do that is so that you can appreciate
- that these are not the only operators out there, plus
- exponentiation and all those, that in mathematics you can define whole
- new set of operators. Let's just do that. So let me just define x diamond
- x diamond y and I'm going to define that as
- I'm just gonna define that as 5x minus y. So you
- could view this kind of defining a function
- but we are defining it using an operator
- so if i have x diamond y by definition we've defined
- this operator, that means that's going to be equal to 5x minus y.
- So given that definition, what would-what would
- 7 diamond 11 be?
- Well, you just go to the definition. 7 diamond 11
- for instead of a x we have 7, so it's going to be
- 5 times 7. Just let me do 5 times 7 minus, and instead
- of a y, we have an 11.
- So one way to think about it is every--in our definition
- every place you saw a x you can replace with 7
- and every place you saw y, you replace with 11.
- So you have minus 11 over here. So this is the 7
- This 7 is this 7
- and this 11--this 11 is this 11 right over here.
- And then we just evaluate that. So 5 times 7 is 35,
- So this is equal to 35, minus 11, which is equal to 24
- So 7 star--or not, this isn't a star--7 diamond 11 is equal to 24.
- We can define other things.
- We can define something crazy like--let me define
- a--well I mentioned a star, let me use a star
- a star-- a -- write it this way
- a star b--let's say that is the same thing as-- I don't know
- a over a plus b. So it's the same idea
- What would,
- 5 star --5 star 6 be?
- Well you go back to the definition. By definition
- every place you see a you would now replace with 5
- every time you'd see b, you'd now replace with 6
- this is going to be equal to 5 over 5 plus 6
- a plus b
- a is 5, b is 6
- over 5 plus 6
- so this would be 5/11
- 5/11. And then you can compound them.
- We haven't defined and order of operations for these particular
- operations we just have defined.
- So we are going to be careful to use parentheses
- when we do, when we put some of these together.
- But you could do something like, something interesting
- like -1 diamond--negative 1 diamond 0 star--0 star 5
- and once again we just focus on parentheses, because
- that is the only thing that is telling us what to start on first
- because we haven't, we haven't figured out
- we haven't defined whether diamond takes precedence over
- star or star takes precedence over diamond.
- The way we have that thing saying hey, you do multiplication before you do addition
- we haven't defined it for those operations.
- But that's what parentheses help us do.
- So we want to evaluate the parentheses first.
- 0 star 5, that is 0, because so now this you can zero as the a
- and the 5 as the b
- this is going to be 0 over 0 plus 5. Over 0 plus 5.
- which is just going to be 0. So this is just goes to 0.
- So this whole expression simplifies to negative 1 diamond
- this diamond right over here
- diamond 0. And now we go to the definition of the
- diamond operator. Well that's five times first, the first number
- in our operator. The first term we are giving the operator
- I guess you can think of it that way.
- So 5 times that, so that will be 5 times negative 1
- x is negative 1
- minus y. Well y here is the zero. Minus 0
- So 5 times negative 1. 5 times negative 1 is negative 5
- And you will see and the idea is just to make you feel comfortable
- defining new operators like this, and not feel being daunted
- if you all of a sudden see a diamond. And they are
- defined the diamond for you
- and you are like you never saw a diamond. They are actually defining it for you
- So you shouldn't say I never saw a diamond.
- You'll just say, oh well they have defined diamond for me
- this is how I use that operator. And sometimes you'll see even wackier things.
- You'll see things like, let me draw
- So they'll define. So this is, I don't know if you'd even consider this as an operator.
- By definiton, if somebody writes a symbol like this
- and they put an a b c--let me write this way
- a, b, c, d. They'll say this is the same thing as
- ad minus b, all of that over c.
- And once again, this is just a definition.
- They have this weird symbolic way of representing these variables
- but they are just defining how (do) you evaluate this crazy expression.
- And so if someone were to give you, say evaluate this diamond
- evaluate this diamond--let me evaluate the diamond
- so evaluate the diamond where in my little sections of the diamond I have a
- negative 1, a five, a three and a two. And we would just use the definition of how we evaluate the diamond.
- And we'd say every time we see an a, we say that's negative 1
- so we have negative 1 times d, well d. Well d is whatever is in the bottom right section of this
- diamond or this kite. So d is going to be 2. Let me write this this way.
- This is a.
- This is b.
- This is c.
- and this is d.
- So this is going to be negative 1
- times 2, minus b
- Well b is 5
- minus five
- all of that over c,
- which is 3.
- So this is going to be equal to negative 2
- minus 5. So that is negative 7. Negative 7 over 3.
- And you can go crazy like this. And it might be a fun thing actually
- if you have some spare time.

THE ART WORLD about Gordon Matta-Clark, 112 Greene Street, and a new show at the David Zwirner gallery. The doors were never locked at 112 Greene Street, a vast, decrepit, and virulently fecund artist-run gallery in the primeval SoHo of the early nineteen-seventies. "In most galleries, you can't scratch the floor," Je rey Lew, an artist who owned the building—a former rag-scavenging plant—said at the time. "Here you can dig a hole in it." In a new show at the David Zwirner gallery, surviving and reconstructed works evoke the scene at 112, minus its charismatic squalor, with primary focus on its leading light, the sculptor and architectural visionary Gordon Matta-Clark, who died at the age of thirty-five, in 1978. Little-known works by Matta-Clark, whose estate is represented by the Zwirner gallery, dominate the new show, mainly drawings of abstracted tree forms and photographs of gaudy street and subway graffiti—a populist novelty then, which at once exacerbated and brightened the time's cascading urban blight. The show is curated by Jessamyn Fiore, a young playwright and curator whose mother is Jane Crawford, a filmmaker and Matta-Clark's widow. Sculptures in the show include a reconstructed carrot-shaped heap of fresh carrots on the floor by Larry Miller, from 1970, and, by the artist and dancer Tina Girouard, a handsome floor piece of patterned linoleum under a suspended ceiling of patterned fabric, from 1972 and 1973—a sally of Anarchitectural decoration, like the wallpaper that Matta-Clark made, in 1972, from photographs of demolition-exposed walls in the South Bronx, offset-printed in moody colors. Strikingly fine black-and-white photographs by Matta-Clark, from 1974, document found, quasi-architectural subjects—a collapsed building, a fenced array of floodlights in a graveyard.

Yes that would be great!
NO! I will tell you why I disagree with my feedback
take your time and read everything then please vote. thank you
I've just come up with Idea. You know when you kill people :
- you kill 3 people in a row you're serial killer
- you kill 4 people in a row you're ultimate warrior
What I would like to see is that we add these "ranks" also for dying in a row
- if player would be killed once he's PWNED ( that's already in the game )
- if he's killed 2 times in a row :
chat would then write : xxxx was PWNED. xxxx has BAD LUCK!
and game sound would start to scream BAD LUCK!!!!
- if he's killed 3 times in a row he's SERIAL FEEDER
and so on and on. I think this would create game funnier and more enjoyable.
getting killed 8 times in a row.. sound would be something like: SURRENDER!
9 times : FEEDER GODLIKE!
10 times : if xxxx is in hellbourne then sould would be like : LEGION HAS WON!
tell me what you think. Imagine your friends name. "friend's name" IS SERIAL FEEDER!! XD lol that would be funny. especially when you try to advice your friend but he thinks he's pro so he doesn't want to listen.
I dont know if I choose right prefix so spare me on that. and sry for my mistakes. have a nice day
HOW YOU GET RID OF YOUR FEEDING RANK? assists or kills break you feeding rank! doesn't matter who you are.. support, tank, killer. that would encourage people to actually help rather then farming all day long in forest ( cronos and magebane players )

Dumb idea. Carry get's farmed on opposing team and theres nothing you can do against him so you die alot and get called a 'serial feeder'. Dumb.
Cirno is the strongest.
why not? if you allow carry to get so much farmed you deserve to die. OR if you dont know how to neutralize him. you deserve to be called at least noob
people must be inteligent enough to realize that even if you die as a support hero and called serial feeder you have still done something important for your team. purpose of this is fun. plus if you die alone not in team fight you are deserved to be called feeder. support or not. people STEAL KILLS IN this game and they are called ultimate warriors etc. ?? ARE they really so ultimate if they steal? also stupid idea. but the main purpose is FUN

Well considering the level of rage average pubs have in this game I'm not sure this change would encourage them to lighten up. This may be better suited as a mod you and your friends have.
well this avarage pubs also have rage if you steal their kill and you are suddenly being called BLOODBATH.. these avarage pubs have to learn how to control their rage. purpose of games is to have fun. if you take it to serious you might be pretty angry
stupid, dieing three times isnt feeding. and ill tell u why u can have a score of 0-3-21 at the end of a game and u never fed that game, u just happened to be a good support player and let ur carries get the kills.
I think the solution to the supporter problem is easy :
If you get an assist while dying 3 times in a row, you will not be a serial feeder. So even getting an assist stops your "Feeding Streak".
are you serious?? if you everyone in your team dies three times game IS OVER! so this is not feeding? cmon get serious.
people steal a lot in this game and they get "ranks" for unearned kills and nobody argues.. well some do. now we would get ranks for feeding. same thing.
if you don't get any assists or kills while you die 3 times in a row I GUESS you are doing something wrong. so you are called feeder. obviously you've done nothing else then dying! THAT would even help those annoying "i farm in forest till i get good items" to actually cooperate in game. assists or kills break you feeding rank! doesn't matter who you are.. support, tank, killer. that would be easy and encourage people to help.
today I played two games. Our magebane was farming 30 MIN BEFORE he helped for the first time. he also died few times while farming. his score was. 0/3/0 so he was a feeder.. serial feeder that is.. if he would get only one assist he would break his feeding rank. people would be annoyed by their ranks and would try to lose them. that would get our magebane to help us instead of playing 4 vs 5 half of the game

there are SO many serial feeder out there
My Fayde Alt. Avatar suggestion "Hassassin Fayde":http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?p=14811835
like the idea sounds pretty fun and might encourage some noobs to pull their heads out of their ass and listen to their teams. you know the ones im talking about, the ones that rush in against the other team alone when they are 4 levels lower and all the while their own team is saying back back BACK!
maybe also have something similar to this shouting kill stealer when you have those non team players that only kill steal as scout and night hound. the invisible statues that only strike out when its one hit left and they arent needed anyways and before they know it the other team is full of bound eyes and these useless ****ers are feeding left and right whining about how their own team is bad.
not to threadjack but i would recommend this instead:
plays when:
-1 player scores the killing blow on another player 3 times in a row (assists dont count)
-the time from the first to the last kill is less than 5 mins
I'm personally an advocate of rare sound clips such as this that play during certain events. Another example would be:
plays when:
-A team gets the "Massacre" sound clip played after the opposing team has had the "Massacre" sound clip played 3 or more times consecutively.
Would be encouraging to hear something like this after being shat on for the past couple mins.
Not everyone prefers Coke over Pepsi, does that mean Coke's recipe is wrong or Pepsi's is right? Probably not, but when Coke pisses off its customers and then Dr Pepper is released, everyone forgets about Coke and Pepsi and just drinks the superior product that is Dr Pepper.
yes there are quite few options what could be heard in certain events =) if I can manage to get this thread to popular threads that would be discussed there. I will collect suggestions on what should "ring" at certain events etc would be thrilled to see something like that in hon

Whenever i tried to roast eggplants on the oven, it takes more time to clean than to cook. Any suggestions?
Here's a possible alternative. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but I find one of the best ways to prepare eggplant is to slice into about 1cm or 1/2in thick slices, optionally do the salt-and-wait-to-get-the-liquid-out-then-pat-dry song and dance routine, then lightly oil them and cook on my searing hot cast iron stovetop griddle. | |||
What is taking so long to clean, your sheet pan? Put a sheet of parchment paper underneath the eggplant. | |||||

HONEY – DVD MovieJessica Alba swivels and pops her way to the top (or at least into Missy Elliot's heart) in hip-hop dance flick Honey. Honey Daniels (Alba, Dark Angel) dances in nightclubs; when she accidentally gets videotaped, a hip-hop video director spots her unique talent and hires her first as a dancer, then as a choreographer. But when he wants her body as much as her talent, how will she sustain her career? And how will this affect her dream of creating a dance studio for the local street kids? Honey is the usual Hollywood silliness, executed with sincerity but not much imagination. For some reason, Alba's sexy gyrations are supposed to be more empowering than other dancers' sexy gyrations, while being no less titillating. Featurin

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
Democrats and Republicans alike are fretting over what might go seriously wrong before, during -- or just after -- the Nov. 6 presidential election.
Both parties have amassed lawyers and volunteers to watch polling places and appeal to local election officials if problems arise.
Campaign officials say it's possible that one candidate could win the popular vote but lose the all-important Electoral College tally. That's what happened in 2000 when George W. Bush defeated Al Gore after a contentious recount in Florida.
Perhaps the most nightmarish result next month would be a 269-269 Electoral College tie between President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney. That result is unlikely but far from impossible.
The U.S. House would choose the next president in such a case.

Ask The Devs 1 - Questions!
Posted 05 May 2012 - 09:39 AM
Posted 05 May 2012 - 09:42 AM
While we understand that many Units may now have to rename themselves, there is a second valid issue that will arise from this. Personal name changes, and I'm not discussing canon names in this thread, although I imagine that those too, will be a topic that will need to be addressed at some point. Just wanted to make that clear.
There are, throughout the community, members that have registered in this community with a name that includes their Unit name initials. It has already been stated, that members here, cannot change their names. Now, here is where the problem is going to arise. There are already 90,000+ members registered, therefore these players that are going to have to drop their initials, are going to have an extremely if not impossible time in getting their "personal" names because someone else now already has them. They are now, not only dissapointed that they have to drop the Unit initials, but now risk losing the "personal" name that everyone here as come to know them by. My question then, I guess, is this. How will name changes be handled here. Will exceptions now be made, for changes to be made with their new Unit Initials attached to their "personal" name, or will they basically have to start all over, with a brand new name? If changes are allowed, the issue then basically stops there.
If changes here are not allowed, another issue will arise. There has been discussion that there is a possibility that canon Merc Units MAY go to factions. While some players may not have an issue with that, others may. Let's say, most members of a particular unit decide that through the Unit's name change, decide to stay as a non-factioned Merc Unit. However, there may be some, that want to stay with the now possible factioned Merc Unit. Are they going to be allowed to change their affiliation?
Also, for those Merc Units that may not have already created their own website/forums off-site, how are Unit Leaders to know if someone IS who they say they were? (ie. Player [unit tag][player tag] comes in and states, "I used to be [unit tag][player xyz] but had to change my name and am now [new unit tag][player abc]. How are the Unit Leaders to know that they are one and the same, and not someone completely new, or someone defecting from another unit?
I realize that there is probably much discussion going on in the "Office" concerning the Unit name changes, but I wanted you to also be aware of the "trickle down" issues involving these decisions. We look forward to hearing how these issues will be resolved.
Thank you for your time in reading your community's concerns, and keep up the great work, as you continue to give us the much awaited for Mechwarrior gaming experience.

Certainly this number isn't set in stone, yet; I am just wondering in what direction you guys are going with this... it could be a vicious, day-by-day fighting environment where the same secondary planets ("Border Worlds," as described in the Dev Blogs) can change hands up to three or four times a week, or the number of viable Border Worlds could be so large that one might spend weeks in a Company's hands, completely unopposed by rival Companies.

Q: "Is the game fun?"
Posted 05 May 2012 - 02:17 PM
Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza was released 10 years ago, and in anticipation for MWO I've watched Die Hard and played DH:NP.
Besides the effort of new members on your team, what do you feel that you're able to bring to MWO due to your experiences since the release of DH:NP? Is there anything that NP taught you (either in its release and reception or development) that you think you'll be able to incorporate into the development of MWO that will make this an enjoyable game?
Bonus question(s):
Are you still proud of your work on NP? Would you still undertake that project today given the chance?

How will recycle time and damage/heat per salvo for the weapons in MWO be determined - will the recycle times for MWO be more similar to those given in the Solaris VII duel rules or to those in the previous MechWarrior games (most notably MW3 and MW4), and will each weapon in MWO generate its listed damage and heat (as listed in the BattleTech rulebooks and Sarna.net's Weapons and Equipment Lists) with each salvo, or will the per-salvo damage/heat be reduced to maintain the rates implied by the BattleTech rules?

October 2013
Micah Jesse Koffler (B.A '09)
What was your favorite class, who was your favorite professor, or what is your fondest memory of Hofstra?
My favorite class was PR 101, and Ellen Frisina was my favorite professor, advisor and mentor. She saw my potential from day one and not only inspired me, but also pushed me, to success.
What was your first job after graduating from Hofstra, and what was the most valuable thing you learned there?
My first job after graduating from Hofstra in 2009 was working for General Motors as one of the "faces" of the Chevrolet Cruze car. As part of this exciting campaign, I traveled around the country immersing myself in entertainment, attending award shows and festivals, and interviewing celebrities from within my car. The public relations and mass media skills I learned at Hofstra proved to be extremely valuable in helping to promote and engage my social network in this campaign.
What is your field of specialty, and how did you come to work in the industry?
I always knew I wanted to work in entertainment, so I pursued internships while in school that would put me in the right places. While in school at Hofstra, I interned for Tommy Mottola at Casablanca Records and as a red carpet reporter for both OK! and US Weekly magazines. These opportunities afforded me the chance to meet celebrities and other journalists, public relations and marketing professionals, agents, managers, etc., whom I now work with as a celebrity blogger, on the red carpet and as a television commentator, on a regular basis.
What advice would you give current Hofstra students?
My advice to current Hofstra students would be to work really hard, both in school and in actualizing your dream job. Take every opportunity to learn and envelop yourself in your desired field so that when graduation rolls around, you are ahead of the game. I truly believe that, in almost any industry, your network is your net worth.
In one word, how would you describe Hofstra?
What is your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part of my job is that no day or week or month is ever the same. I'm always doing a million different things and I like it that way... It keeps me on my toes!
Who in your field do you most admire?
I admire people who paved the way before me, who have had similar struggles as I have, but have come out (pun intended) on top. I admire Ellen DeGeneres, Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper, who all represent positivity, honesty and make people happy.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Where do you see your career progressing to in the future?
In 10 years I hope to be doing a lot more television. I love hosting, interviewing and telling stories. Stay tuned as my story unfolds...

Graduation is just around the corner for many high school students. But in the Milwaukee Public Schools system, a startling number of children drop out before they reach twelfth grade. Many who stay in school perform below national standards. On Friday, WUWM's news reporters and Lake Effect producers will begin a series, which explores challenges in the urban education system. Ann-Elise Henzl is executive producer of Project Milwaukee: Barriers to Achievement in MPS. She joined Bob Bach in the studio for an overview of the series.
In 2009, milk prices dropped so low that dairy farmers lost up to half their income. Some had to slaughter their cows because they couldn't afford to feed them anymore. Others decided enough was enough, and sold their animals and their land.WUWM's Erin Toner visits a family near Slinger who made it through last year, but just barely.
Today is Earth Day. Wisconsin's own Senator Gaylord Nelson came up with the idea 40 years ago, to call attention to dangers threatening the environment. The U.S. Senator hoped to inspire awareness and action. On this 40th anniversary, we stop by several schools, in search of future environmentalists.It's a Saturday, but a dozen or so Whitefish Bay High students are digging their hearts out on the west side of school.

2009 was a make or break year for dairy farmers in Wisconsin. Milk prices dropped so low that most farmers had to go deeper into debt just to survive. Some lost so much money they had to sell their farms. Today, we begin a series profiling two dairy farming families in Wisconsin. Both managed to weather the worst year they can remember, and hope to stay in the business they love as long as they can.
A unique group of gospel singers is making music in Milwaukee, at churches and other venues. What makes the choir unusual is the combination of people in it. Some are homeless. Ann-Elise Henzl attended one of the group's rehearsals, and learned that it's hoping to take a trip abroad this summer.

Taking Action for America
Related Studies & Resources
America faces many challenges as we work together to restore the promise of economic growth and security for our country, our families and the American worker. The CEOs of leading U.S. companies believe in America and our ability to once again meet this challenge. This belief in the inherent strengths of the United States and its people enables them to see beyond America's short-term difficulties to the brighter future that lies ahead. That future directly hinges on America's ability to lead globally, make optimal use of its impressive advantages, and always remember that its greatest asset is American workers and their families. It is with this enduring faith that the CEOs of Business Roundtable (BRT) confront the current challenges facing the United States.
The challenges are both real and serious. Despite hopeful signs of economic recovery, America remains mired in the deepest jobs crisis since the 1930s. One out of every 12 Americans who are willing and able to work cannot find a job. Approximately 13 million Americans remain unemployed. Frustrated and discouraged, millions more have simply given up looking for work altogether. To be sure, the severe job losses experienced during the depths of the 2007–09 recession have ended, and the unemployment rate fell from 9.4 percent in December 2010 to 8.5 percent in December 2011. But vigorous and sustained job creation has not returned at the level required to put America back to work, and the numbers of long-term unemployed remain at record levels.
We, the CEOs of Business Roundtable have a plan to revitalize U.S. economic growth and job creation. We believe that America's business leaders have an obligation to bring their real-world experience on economic matters to public policy, especially in a time of widespread joblessness and economic distress. Job creation depends on economic growth, which cannot occur unless businesses are free to innovate, invest and grow. Taking Action for America is a comprehensive plan to jump-start new business investment and knock down barriers to economic growth. It includes pragmatic, actionable recommendations organized into three broad categories (all links are PDF downloads):
- American Global Leadership, which must be secured through sound fiscal policy, smarter regulation and competitive taxation.
- American Advantages, which depend on open markets for international trade and investment; reliable, affordable energy, protecting U.S. technology assets with effective cybersecurity and contributions of highly educated world talent.
- American Workers and Families, who deserve policies that promote a skilled, prepared workforce; affordable, quality health care and stable policies that ensure retirement security.
For more information, we invite you to download the following PDFs:
- Our one-page overview of the plan
- A document outlining all of our proposed solutions for revitalizing U.S. job and economic growth.
- A list of key regulations that we have pinpointed to help address the need for smarter regulation.
- Our advertisement in print publications in Tampa and Charlotte during the Republican and Democratic National Conventions urges Washington to act to solve our nation's challenges.

Business Roundtable CEOs consistently cite rising medical care costs as their number-one cost pressure. These costs are inhibiting job creation and damaging our ability to compete in global markets. Medical care costs are also putting a strain on the household budgets of many Americans.
John Engler,
President, Business Roundtable -
Open markets are essential for U.S. economic growth and job creation, and international trade and investment agreements are critical tools to open markets and keep them open.
Douglas R. Oberhelman,
Chairman & CEO, Caterpillar Inc. -
'Taking Action for America' is the right plan at the right time. America's business leaders have detailed a jobs and growth strategy that will benefit American workers. I call on my colleagues to work with me, the Business Roundtable and all stakeholders to act this year.
Congressman Heath Shuler
Representative from the 11th District of North Carolina -
Regulations are beneficial only when they're clear, consistent and wise. And, in large part, the U.S. regulatory regime is so complex and inconsistent that regulations hinder American manufacturers without helping anyone in particular.
Andrew N. Liveris,
Chairman & CEO, Dow Chemical Company, The -
There are jobs today that are open because we don't have the skilled workforce here. If we want to continue to create economic growth we have to fill those jobs with the best and the brightest no matter where they come from.
Ellen J. Kullman,
Chair and Chief Executive Officer , DuPont -
A high-quality education, especially in math, science, technology, and engineering, is critical for the ability of countries to successfully compete and prosper in the 21st century.
Rex W. Tillerson,
Chairman & CEO, Exxon Mobil Corporation -
Safeguarding America's strategic information systems, most of which are privately owned and operated, is 'mission critical' for U.S. business and government.
Ajay Banga,
President and CEO, MasterCard -
American companies seeking to expand in markets at home and abroad are working with one of the least competitive tax systems among developed countries in the world.
Robert A. McDonald,
Chairman, President and CEO, Procter & Gamble Company, The -
Pension policy must provide employers with the certainty that will allow them to make new capital investments, to hire new employees, and to make R&D investments.
Larry D. Zimpleman,
Chairman, President & CEO, Principal Financial Group, Inc. -
I applaud the Business Roundtable for rolling out a serious blueprint for job creation and economic growth. I look forward to working with the BRT on tax reform and modernizing our regulatory system to spark a true American jobs recovery.
Senator Rob Portman

Cancer treatment of tumours in very young children is to benefit from a study that has identified the important role of the clusterin gene. Also named apolipoprotein J, the gene was discovered 20 years ago and is found in human tissue and fluids. It is only now that the gene has been found to act as a tumour repressor of neuroblastoma, an extra-cranial solid tumour common in under-five-year-olds. Dr Arturo Sala, of the UCL Institute of Child Health, commented: "Our team found that in neuroblastoma, expression of clusterin is repressed by the cancer gene MYCN, which is typically activated in this childhood malignancy." He added that the high mortality rate of Neuroblastoma did not raise its profile and it is still little-known, particularly when compared with leukaemia, making the work particularly vital. Some 650 cases of neuroblastoma are diagnosed every year in the US and half of these are found in children aged under two years old.

Quote of the Day
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
Bill Cosby
Today is Bernanke's day. The business media have been covering the US Federal Reserve's first ever press conference after an FOMC meeting around the clock. There is so much build up to this press conference that, like with most things that are highly and widely anticipated, often times the actual event turns out to be a non event. It reminds me of a song "Is that all there is" that we may be singing after the press conference is over. Overnight oil prices were mostly range bound in quiet trading ahead of this morning's EIA oil inventory report as well as the big Bernanke press conference. Last night's API inventory report (see below for more details) was mostly neutral. However, unless the EIA report is grossly different from the expectations, I do not expect much of a price reaction until after the FOMC press conference is over and digested.
Where the price of oil goes from here in the short-term will be mostly dependent on how the US dollar trades over the next few days. The US dollar Index is continuing to hover near levels not seen since the middle of 2008 and the only reason why it is not moving with more momentum (in either direction at the moment) is due to market participants waiting on the Bernanke press conference. As discussed in detail the market will be primarily looking for any clues as to the status of QE2, when the Fed will switch to a less accommodative policy, Bernanke's view on inflation as well as the state of the US economic recovery.
Leading up to this meeting the market view has been that the Fed will continue to keep their foot on the accelerator of easy money for the short to medium term. If there is any deviation from that view (signs of tightening sooner than later) I would expect a strong short covering rally to ensue in the US dollar which will in turn result in equities, oil and commodities declining. I would be very surprised if the Fed announced any change in their monetary policy today either in the FOMC minutes or during the press conference. The US economic recovery has certainly not been very robust and any indications of a switch in monetary policy is likely to result in an even slower economic recovery with unemployment remaining at unacceptably high levels for an extended period of time. I think Bernanke will present a picture of a slow but improving economic recovery and indicate that when the data supports it the Fed will take the necessary steps to fight inflation. For now all is status quo in Fed policy. If that scenario is the end result today I would expect a modest sell-off of equities and oil in a "buy the rumor & sell the fact" type short-term trade. But when the dust settles, the US dollar will move lower and equities, oil and commodities will resume their upward movement.
Global equity markets were firm in quiet trading ahead of the US Fed press conference. The EMI Global Equity Index has recovered all of its early week losses and is now actually unchanged on the week pushing the year to date gain back to 0.6%. Over the last 24 hours, China, Hong Kong and Australia were the only laggards with all of the other bourses gaining ground. The US Dow is now clearly on the top of the leaders board for 2011 with Germany and Paris now closely behind. China has dropped down to the middle of the pack after holding the lead for the last month or so. Investor/traders continue to buy US equities on the premise that the so called Bernanke put (or easy money) remains in place for the foreseeable future. In the UK the latest GDP number released this morning came in within expectations and an improvement over last quarter... a positive for UK and European equities. Heading into today the global equity markets are mostly supportive for oil prices as is the weaker US dollar.
Late yesterday afternoon the API released their latest inventory assessment. The API report was mixed and mostly neutral. The API reported a crude oil inventory build of about 4.9 million barrels as refinery utilization rates only increased by 0.3% to 81.6% of capacity. The API reported a big jump up in crude oil imports. PADD 2 stocks were marginally higher after declining in the previous API report. They showed large surprise declines in inventory for gasoline but a larger than expected build in distillate fuel stocks. Gasoline stocks declined by about 2.1 million barrels while distillate fuel stocks were increased by 1.5 million. The results of the API report are summarized in the following table. So far the reaction to the API report has been mildly bullish although the market is in quiet mode ahead of all of today's macro events. If Wednesday's EIA report is in sync with the API report I would view it as neutral.
My projections for this week's inventory reports are summarized in the following table. I am expecting a mixed to bearish report with a modest build in total commercial stocks of crude oil and distillate fuel inventories but another decline in gasoline stocks as refinery runs are likely to increase only marginally on the week. I am expecting crude oil stocks to build by about 0.9 million barrels. If the actual numbers are in sync with my projections the year-over-year surplus of crude oil would come in around 0.1 million barrels while the overhang versus the five-year average for the same week will also narrow to 11 million barrels.
Even with refinery runs expected to increase by about 0.3% and with imports expected to hold steady, I am expecting a modest draw in gasoline stocks. Gasoline stocks are expected to draw by about 1 million barrels which would result in the gasoline year-over-year deficit widening to 16.6 million barrels while the surplus versus the five-year average for the same week move into a deficit of 1.5 million barrels.
Distillate fuel is projected to increase modestly by 0.6 million barrels on a combination of minimal weather demand as well as an increase in production. The latest NOAA forecast is projecting above normal temperatures across portions of the US for the next several weeks thus reducing any hopes for a continuation of atypical spring heating related consumption. The forecasts are a negative for heating oil especially after the last several weeks of bullish weather reports. If the actual EIA data is in sync with my distillate fuel projection inventories versus last year will likely now be about 2.9 million barrels below last year while the overhang versus the five-year average will be around 22.2 million barrels. With the beginning of the inventory injection season now underway for heating oil and with total distillate fuel inventories already at very comfortable levels there are not likely to be any supply issues anytime soon.
Net result, the US continues to remain well supplied but with the accelerated decline in gasoline stocks and the overall destocking pattern in general the fundamentals are becoming more of a supporting factor for the first time in several years.
As usual do not overreact to the API data as the EIA report will be released this morning. The API report is not in line with the more widely followed EIA data more often than not and as such it is always prudent to verify the API results by waiting a few more hours for the EIA data to be released. If the EIA report is within the projections I would expect the market to view the results as neutral. If the EIA data is more in line with the API data the market will likely view it as biased to the bullish side from a macro overview and a mild positive for the WTI versus Brent spread. Whether or not the market reacts at all to the inventory report will be dependent on what is going on with the events of the day.
On a weather note WSI still sees an active upcoming hurricane season this year, predicting 15 named storms, eight hurricanes and four intense hurricanes at Category 3 strength or greater. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 30 through Nov. 30 each year. The current forecast is down slightly from WSI's prior forecast issued in December 2010 that called for 17 named storms, nine hurricanes and five intense hurricanes. The latest forecast numbers are above the long-term averages of 12 named storms, seven hurricanes and three intense hurricanes and match the averages from the more active recent period (1995-2010) of 15, eight and four.
They reduced their forecast numbers to 'active-normal' levels as a result of the cooling of the tropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures. Further, the La Nina event weakened a bit more quickly than they first expected.
My individual market view is detailed in the table at the beginning of the newsletter. I am maintaining my view at neutral and my bias at cautiously bullish as Brent and WTI are still both trading well above the latest technical support level. The market is susceptible to a downside correction which could come as part of a round of book squaring ahead of the Fed FOMC press conference tomorrow.
I am maintaining both my Nat Gas view and bias at neutral with short term upside bias as prices are likely to remain mired in a range for the foreseeable future.
Currently asset classes are mostly higher as shown in the EMI Price Board table below.

Dominick A. Chirichella

Chimps too nurture 'social traditions'
Washington, Aug 29 (IANS) Research on chimps never ceases to surprise us -- the latest one, for instance, says that they are not only capable of learning from one another but also use this social information to create and nurture local traditions.
Researchers focused on a specific behaviour called the 'grooming handclasp', where two chimps clasp onto each other's arms, raise those arms up in the air, and groom each other with their free arm.
A collaboration between the Gonzaga University (Washington) and the Max Planck Institute (Germany) shows that the way in which chimps groom each other depends on the community to which they belong.
Specifically, it is the unique handclasp grooming behaviour that reveals this local difference.
This behaviour has only been observed in some chimp populations. The question remained whether others of their ilk are instinctively inclined to engage in grooming handclasp behaviour, or whether they learn this behaviour from each other and pass it on to subsequent generations, according to a Gonzaga and Max Planck statement.
Edwin van Leeuwen and Katherine Cronin of the Comparative Cognitive Anthropology research group of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, led by Daniel Haun, conducted their observations between 2007 and 2012 at the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage Trust in Zambia.
At Chimfunshi, a mix of wild-and captive-born chimps live in woodlands in some of the largest enclosures in the world.
The Max Planck team collaborated with students from Gonzaga led by Mark Bodamer, a team of local chimpanzee caretakers, and Roger Mundry of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in order to collect and comprehend the detailed chimpanzee data.
Previous research suggested that the grooming handclasp might be a cultural phenomenon, just like humans across cultures engage in different ways of greeting each other.
The present research shows that even between chimpanzee communities that engage in the grooming handclasp, subtle yet stable differences exist in the styles that they prefer: one chimp group highly preferred the style where they would grasp each other's hands during the grooming, while another group engaged much more in a style where they would fold their wrists around each other's wrists.
"We don't know what mechanisms account for these differences," van Leeuwen says. "But our study at least reveals that these chimpanzee communities formed and maintained their own local grooming traditions over the last five years."
The research team also observed that the grooming handclasp behaviour was a long-lasting part of the chimpanzees' behavioural repertoire: the behaviour was even transmitted to the next generation of potential handclaspers.
