Why scour the official forums when you can get this week's DevTracker Highlights right here. Principal Lead Combat Designer Georg Zoeller talks about the Jedi Consular's Project ability, naming policies for roleplay servers, Force Leap tactics, global cooldowns, and class design. Senior Community Manager Stephen Reid announces RP-PvP servers for launch. Senior Writer Alexander Freed discusses planet locations in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Writer Drew Karpyshyn explains some decisions he made with the upcoming novel Revan. Hit the jump to see all the highlights.
Georg Zoeller gives a rough estimate on how many different items the Jedi Consular's Project ability uses.
Quote from Georg ZoellerWe've seen a box, a droid, and the "septic tank"...are there more? I'm not complaining, i'm just curious about how long this random list is?10 right now.
Stephen Reid confirms Star Wars: The Old Republic will have RP-PvP servers.
Quote from Stephen ReidI, and 14 other guildmates, really want to plan on rolling on an rp-pvp server. It's such a trivial game feature to confirm for us, I don't understand why they wouldn't just mention it and be done with it.Hello all. As I said before, it wasn't such a trivial decision, which is why it took a while to make. However, we have good news: RP-PvP servers are going to be a part of Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Please speak out if you'd at least like to know before launch, whether or not these servers will exist!
Please note, the 'RP' part of the RP-PvP designation will be a suggested style of play, not a mandatory one. What that means is, if you feel someone isn't roleplaying, reporting them to Customer Service will not ensure action on their account. We will also not be enforcing naming policies or similar.
For a game with a projected player base as high as The Old Republic, it's simply not practical for CS to be watching over this. If you want to fully immerse yourself in roleplaying, we suggest you find a likeminded group or guild to do that with.
You probably have questions - throw them out and we'll try to answer.
Georg Zoeller shares an example of names that guilds or players cannot use.
Quote from Georg ZoellerSo my question is based on the bold statement. Back when the guild area launched, we could not use the word Revan as part of our guild name. I know naming policies are not going to be enforced, but if we decide to go to a RP-PvP server, can we use the term Revan? Why enforce the guild name then? It's an RP standpoint.There's an extensive list of names that are not available to guilds and players. Revan is one such name.
Maybe it's just late and I am not comprehending the statement clearly. I am sure there are other reasons for it, but I would just want some clarification on this.
Georg Zoeller illustrates various tactics to use for and against the Jedi Knight's Force Leap ability.
Quote from Georg ZoellerYep this looks good. Only thing that scares me is force leap being able to jump gaps etc gonna be a pain to deal with.Just stand at the edge of the acid pit, let them jump to you and then kick/slap/stun them in the spot, that'll teach em. Or, as a Bounty Hunter, pull them into the fire with your grapple.
There's also that beautiful moment when a Knight with the ball realizes he doesn't have to wait for the fire to go out to force leap through the flames on the enemies behind them.
Alexander Freed addresses concerns about locations of planets within the galaxy map.
Quote from Alexander Freed
Hi, Ashes.
The planet locations on the galaxy map were taken directly from Star Wars: The Essential Atlas (and were, of course, closely vetted by the folks at LucasArts). We may have established coordinates for a handful of new systems (I'd need to check my records), but only a very few--the Atlas is extremely thorough.
As for the distance between Korriban and Dromund Kaas--keep in mind a few things:
First, there are HUGE distances even between neighboring star systems; while it's one thing to have a clearly mapped route and a powerful hyperdrive, creeping through uncharted territory at relatively slow speeds without "flying right through a star or bouncing too close to a supernova" is another thing entirely.
Second, the galactic map doesn't show a Z-axis--space is three-dimensional and just because two systems are (relatively) close on the X and Y grid, there can still be a vast separation "up" or "down."
In other words, if you're desperately wandering into territory off your charted portion of the galactic plane... you can spend quite a while before you find a new home.
Hope this addresses your concerns.
Drew Karpyshyn comments on his upcoming novel Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan.
Quote from Drew Karpyshyn
Wow. A lot of people jumping to (somewhat misinformed) conclusions without actually reading the book. I guess I shouldn't be shocked - it happened with the first and third Bane novels, too. Must be human nature.
I'm not going to post a long, elaborate defense of what I did and why - too many spoilers. But I will say I don't feel I trampled on the KOTOR2 continuity in any way. I put in a lot of time and effort to make sure I was respectful and accurate to the source material. The Exile is a very complex and nuanced character, and there are multiple theories offered in the game to explain what she is and what she does... and some of these theories actually contradict each other. I believe this was intentional, as the KOTOR2 writing team wanted to preserve a sense of mystery about her. (The ongoing debate in this thread about the Exile clearly illustrates they succeeded.)
I was very careful not to put anything in my novel that would directly contradict any of the offered theories, partly to preserve KOTOR2's original intent, and partly because those elements were central to the KOTOR2 story, but not to the story of the Revan novel. I also believe the Exile comes across as a very strong and capable character, and I would caution people about taking small excerpts out of context, because they don't tell the whole story.
Anyway, I'd urge people to read the novel with an open mind before they condemn me. Or at least read the latest post on my website to get my side of the story: http://drewkarpyshyn.com/c/?p=302#more-302
Georg Zoeller discusses one of the reasons for a global cooldown.
Quote from Georg ZoellerThe GCD is set, so you can see all the "pretty" animations BW made for the game.Correct. We pride ourselves with a very polished and good looking combat system, and that means you get to see actual combat animations along with the floating numbers that indicate damage.
If you're going to do something for many many hours over the course of the game, and combat is likely the thing many players might do the most, it'd better be more interesting than a single whack animation and a floating number.
For example, your attack animation might consist of shooting a stream of blaster bolts that do damage on impact rather than a single bolt or single sword swing.
Georg Zoeller posts a long explanation of class design philosophy and class roles.
Quote from Georg Zoeller
Hey guys,
Because the Dev Tracker is a bit wonky again and doesn't show my post, and because translating my English post to German and then back to English isn't producing the most reliable results (Oh god, they did what???), here's the Class Design Philosophy post again, in original source:
"Just to chime in about our class design philosophy here. We've explained this a number of times already during development, but now that we've been running large scale testing for a while and have solidified a lot of the design, I think it's time to explain what we're doing and why.
In regards to class roles, we do things differently than some other games which people might be used to. That creates some anxiety and questions, so let me explain.
Of Class, Advanced Class, Roles.
Unlike other games where you pick a class and that defines your role, class in Star Wars: The Old Republic defines your overall story, your possible roles and your visual style / gameplay style (e.g. Force user vs. Tech user).
Due to the nature of the Advanced Class system, every character starts out in a DPS role at the start of the game, and they're about equally good at it.
By the time you reach level 10, you get to make your choice for Advanced Class, which narrows down which roles you could play, and yes, some Advanced Classes (Gunslinger / Sniper / Marauder / Sentinel) only have damage type roles available, while other Advanced Classes have access to two roles (e.g damage or healing).
What actually defines your role in our game, in terms of traditional MMO gaming, is how you distribute points in your skill trees. Specialize in the 'Combat Medic' tree and become a healer, specialize in the 'Vengeance tree' and become a DPS character.
By spending that first skill point at level 10, you start developing your character into whatever role you want them to play in the long term. Since it's your skill choices that define your role, it is a gradual process. You don't become a healer at level 10 or 11, you're growing into becoming a healer over many levels.
Our content is designed around that. The first Flashpoint assumes the group has only DPS roles. Even if you bring a healer, he'll have only a single heal available at that level as he has just begun his journey into his role, so there isn't too much of a spread in balance.
Over time, the game becomes more firm in the roles it requires for content like Flashpoints, but additional tools like companions still make it more flexible than many other MMOs in regards to what group mix can run group content.
That progression is quite different from how your characters work in other games, and we've certainly seen our share of people being surprised by it in testing ("I just took the Sage Advanced Class, but I don't feel like I'm a great healer").
Ultimately we don't do hybrid roles. You can do them (by mixing different skill trees), but by design, all our classes are meant to be fully capable in the roles they fill. The 'hybrid' tax would be the fact that you won't be able to get the top tier talents in one skill tree if you spread yourself too thin into others.
At high level, all roles have the same capabilities, in our game all healers are 'main healers' provided they are specced accordingly, etc.
Common Questions
So, what's the point of playing an AC that has only DPS options available?
That is a question you have to answer for yourself.
In a traditional fantasy MMO, if you play a thief or a wizard, you're locked to one role as well, so it's the added role flexibility that SWTOR brings to the table that is giving you second thoughts. I would look at it like this:
- If you really like the flexibility of non DPS roles and feel comfortable with taking on other roles, you might want to play an AC that has that option available.
- If you know you only enjoy DPS roles in a game (and based on our research, a sizable faction of players falls under that umbrella), a DPS only AC means you will get a three different styles of dps gameplay to select from.
So why do we do this? Why not go for a 'this Advanced Class only can DPS and therefore they are the best at it' approach?
- Because we want people to pick the class they want to play and reduce the likelihood of them getting told 'sorry, can't participate in this group because we want only the best DPS in game - that is a Gunslinger'.
- Likewise, we don't want the fact that a specific tank or healer AC is not available at a time from becoming a stopping point for getting on with your group content.
The truth is, not everyone is comfortable playing every role and shouldn't be expected to.
Players, as they get more familiar with the game, will no doubt find interesting ways of proving the superiority of a specific specialization in a specific situation, that's expected. With different gameplay styles and utility come different strength and weaknesses.
Should things outside our comfort zone be discovered in testing or after launch (e.g. Operations ending up requiring that one specific healer AC because they are deemed 'the absolute best and a must'), we will adjust the game accordingly. We want player skill to be deciding factor in your choices, not which class they picked hundreds of hours ago. That's pretty standard for MMOs.
Q: 'Why would I play a DPS only Advanced Class if I can play an Advanced Class that can respec to fill other roles?'
A: If that is your main concern, you shouldn't play that Advanced Class, because you are going to be unhappy about the fact that you cannot switch roles.
Q: Since I can only fill a DPS role, I should do the absolute best damage in the game!
A: Not in SWTOR. We give you get more variety in your DPS gameplay. We maintain balance between all ACs that can fill a role.
Q: What ever happened to being 5% better thing for pure DPS classes?
A: Given class utility and other considerations of why you might want to have someone in your group, 5% is not considered 'significant' for the purpose of this conversation.
I hope this clears things up a bit. I'm sure there'll be plenty of different and, of course, dissenting opinions on this topic, but at least everyone will be on the same page as what our design goals are in this situation and how we approach balancing classes."

Imagine the original job interview. The first one ever, back on the prehistoric savannas of eastern Africa or maybe in an early agrarian society in the Fertile Crescent. A member of an unknown settlement may have wandered in and offered some irresistible service—lion-wrangling expertise, perhaps, or Herculean strength in the field. Unlike in a modern job interview, early humans had no résumés, LinkedIn profiles or letters of recommendation to guide them. The fundamental idea, however, was the same: somehow the interviewer had to judge, in a brief interval, whether the applicant—a complete stranger—was trustworthy. Bringing on a sordid character as a business partner or as a steward of your goods could endanger your livelihood or even your personal safety.
To boost the odds of choosing a solid relationship and rejecting a dicey one, our ancestors might have learned to detect subtle, unintended signs in that initial, face-to-face interaction. Indeed, how do we make these judgments nowadays? Discerning the motives of strangers is a skill we rely on all the time. Every time you walk into a used-car lot or shop around for a home contractor or financial adviser, you are using your wits to pick someone trustworthy—and to avoid scoundrels.
Because trust and cooperation are so essential to the smooth working of human society, it makes sense that people would have learned over thousands of years both to send signals of trustworthiness and to pick up signs of malicious intent. Yet scientists have searched in vain for that single "golden cue" that predicts future cooperation or opportunism. Now a growing consensus rejects the idea of a single, isolated nonverbal signal of trustworthiness—or deceit—as simplistic. Rather than a certain grimace or gesture giving intentions away, a subtle constellation of clues may emerge dynamically during brief encounters. We sense this cluster of behaviors without realizing it and use them to judge a person's integrity.
Giveaway Gestures
The pairs of unacquainted students chatted for five minutes about ordinary topics such as spring break, life in Boston, and so forth. Other students had similar chats via the Internet, the only restriction being that they could not use emoticons, those symbols that convey emotion in online conversations. Then all the pairs played a game that measures cooperative and self-interested economic behavior. As expected, those who had chatted face-to-face beforehand were more accurate in predicting the trustworthiness or sleaziness of the stranger. Something in the interaction—some nonverbal information that was missing from the text-only Web chat—had given away their opponents' intentions.
But what? To find out, the scientists asked two independent judges to analyze the videotaped interactions and identify all the possibly meaningful cues: smiling, laughing, leaning, looking away, crossing the arms, nodding, head shaking, and touching. Next they isolated the specific cluster of cues that were present when volunteers successfully detected others' self-serving intentions. Again and again, the opportunists displayed a cluster of four cues: hand touching, face touching, crossing arms and leaning away. None of these cues foretold deceit by itself, but together they transformed into a highly accurate signal. And the more often the participants used this particular set of gestures, the less trustworthy they were in the subsequent financial exchange.
This finding was intriguing but inconclusive. After all, people are constantly twitching and shifting, so it is difficult to know if this specific cluster of cues—and only these cues—are the ones involved in signaling duplicity. To test this more rigorously, the scientists needed to experimentally manipulate the suspect motions and then see if they did indeed inspire feelings of distrust.

Yes, Dear…
As promised, I am throwing together a few blogs about our adventures on vacation. Please make note that they won't necessarily be in chronological order as far as the vacation itself went. They are actually in "transcribed jotted down note order," which makes sense to me, but not really everyone else. At any rate, this is number one in the series…
Wednesday. Fourth day of vacation. Evil Kat has now tortured us all mercilessly with "pre-hikes" leading up to her plan for today – The Death March. Seriously. She actually had it on the itinerary. She didn't call it a death march because she didn't want us to know that's what it was, but hey, we figured it out right quick…
After a quick breakfast at the restaurant for Colter Bay Village in the Grand Tetons, where we had been staying in a cabin, we were packed and ready to set off to West Yellowstone, Montana, which would become our base camp for the rest of the vacation. That way we would have a place to crash and be able to make excursions into Yellowstone National Park. Good plan, but as I mentioned, there was this death march with which we needed to contend.
Before heading north to West Yellowstone, E K wanted to hike the "Hidden Falls Trail" at Jenny Lake. Some of you may remember my status update:
At Jenny Lake. Forest is here too… JEH-NAYYY! 10:59 AM 6/15
That was more or less my "Blair Witch Project" swan song. By that I mean, less than twenty minutes later, Her Supreme Redheaded Evilness had us on the trail. Thing about it is this – we were already at high altitude, so next thing you know we were going up the side of a mountain, then down the side of a mountain, then around a lake, back up, back down, along the lake, switched back, up, down, around, down, up, up, up, around, down, up, up, UP, and then we came to the washed out bridge. Yeah. So then we had to go up some more – through two feet of snow. Melting snow. The kind where you take a step and then one leg crashes through and you end up doing the splits and having deadly pine needle infused snow crystals all up in your BVD's. No, I'm not kidding. Yes, I ended up with deadly pine needle infused snow crystals all up in my BVD's. Well, actually it was my Fruit of the Looms, but you get the idea. (BTW – Make note of the "do rag" I'm wearing in the picture above… It comes into play later.)
Anywho, on with the story… After seeing The Hidden Falls, and playing photographer for other folks who wanted their family photo taken in front of it (I really should have set up a concession stand, I'm tellin' ya'…) we hiked up, up, down, down, down, around, through, up, down, up, down, through, around, down, down, DOWN until we came to the dock. What dock? The dock on the other side of the lake where the boat met us and took us back to where we started. Then it was back into the rental vehicle and off to West Yellowstone.
Now… To get to West Yellowstone coming from where we were, one had to pass through Yellowstone proper. Well… not just one… all of us, actually. But that's not my point. My point is that we had to go through Yellowstone, so why not take some time to stop, look at Old Somewhat Faithful, and walk at least a portion of the loop before heading on into Montana. I mean, after all, it's not like we had done any walking yet for the day, right? <– [Gratuitous Sarcasm]
However… There had to be some shopping too. After all, when you have a tween o-spring, she will be all about the souvenir thing.
Something you might not know about me – unless E K and I are out doing the "Pretty Woman" thing, I don't shop. I hate to shop. When I go to the store I know what I want, I get it, and then I get out. 'Nuff said.
But on with the show… We arrived at the "Mercantile" or whatever they call it there in the Old Somewhat Faithful area of the upper geyser basin. They want to go shopping. I want to sit. Fortunately, someone at the "Mercantile" already knew I was coming, because there were 409,345 rocking chairs lined up along the boardwalk in front of the place. I found one and I sat in it.
Here's where the importance of the "do rag" comes in…
The motor-sickles showed up. Apparently all these dudes and dudettes on said motor-sickles took my "do rag" to mean I might possibly be of the two-wheel ilk myself, so instead of sitting in any of the other rocking chairs, they joined me in my row. They introduced themselves. The chatted with me like I was a long lost pal. They showed me their tattoos. Of course, when they asked me what sort of bike I rode I couldn't lie, so I told them, "Well, I used to have a Schwinn, but now I've just got a K-Mart Special 10-speed."
I figured they'd probably decide I wasn't all that cool at that point, but apparently they thought it was funny. Not sure how much comedy they get to see out on the open road, so I was glad to at least give them a laugh. At any rate, instead of running off, they hung around and we commiserated about the fact that I was stuck there waiting for my "old lady" while she shopped, and all that good stuff. I mean, we had ourselves a grand ol' time there on the Group Motor-Sickle Boardwalk.
Schwinn, K-Mart Special, or not… And it was all good.
But that, of course, has absolutely nothing to do with "Yes, Dear…"
You see, that part finally happened after all of my newly found friends with the motor-sickles headed up and moved out, offering to take me with them since my "old lady" was still on a spending spree.
It was tempting. I mean, touring Yellowstone on a Motor-Sickle and all… But since they were my new friends I didn't want them to get hurt. So, I explained to them that they really had no idea what they would be getting into if I came along, then mentioned the name "Evil Kat." They all suddenly became very nervous, and then said that, as much as they liked me, I was on my own. Seems they were familiar with The Supreme Evil Redhead's reputation.
But back to the "Yes, Dear…"
A nice young couple came out of the ice cream shop and settled themselves into chairs next to me. As friendly tourists will do, we struck up a conversation, talking about the scenery, geo-thermal events, and ice cream. Eventually, when things reached a lull I simply stared off into space, or parking lot, or whatever. Suddenly I heard a sharp, "MURV!"
When my name is said in such a way by Her Supreme Evilness that generally means she has now had to repeat herself.
I instantly responded, without even looking in her direction, "YES, DEAR!"
The couple next to me chuckled.
"We're ready to go," E K barked.
"I'm glad somebody is…" I mumbled.
The couple next to me chuckled again.
I pushed myself up out of the chair, and with all of the camera equipment, water bottles, and other necessary hiking about items for three people strapped to my person, began to trudge away, following the one of red hair.
I glanced back over my shoulder at the couple and said, "Y'all enjoy those chairs for me, okay?"
This, of course, elicited yet another chuckle from the pair.
But, let's face it… I mean, it's not like THEY were going to save me. The bikers had hauled a$$ out of there at the mere mention of "The E K," so an ice cream eating couple from some small town in east wherever definitely wasn't about to mount a rescue op.
Oh well, judging from their chuckles at least I entertained them for a few seconds… I wonder if they blog…
More to come…


text: A man inherits a remote monastery-turned-experimental addiction treatment center from his late mother, and makes a horrible discovery while exploring the property with a group of friends. Brian Karter (Sean Clement) was just a young boy when his mother treated addicts at "The Sanctuary". Years later, Brian's mother has passed away, and the abandoned building becomes a monument to decay. Brian wants nothing to do with it, but his friends convince him to take a tour of the building before deciding what to do with it. When Brian and his friends stumble into a secret laboratory with a cutting edge machine capable of eradicating any form of addiction, the discovery leaves them speechless. But with each successful treatment, a new nightmare is born. Now, after decades lying dormant, the nightmares have awoken. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Moving Heaven and Earth for my friends
My hometown of Laura, Ohio, is quickly swelling with an influx of past inhabitants. Chief among them are my buddy Roben and his heterosexual man partner, Jeff. They moved just down the block, which now means a majority of my best friends all live along Main Street within shouting distance.
The only downside to a friend moving is the actual move itself. Those of "friend" status usually get roped into helping with the move one way or the other. For me it was a self-voluntarily action made during the immediate aftermath of my recent wedding. In retrospect, it perhaps was a poorly-timed decision made in haste during a state of jubilee and intoxication.
Nevertheless my numero uno associate, Dave Cabeen, and I arrived to Roben's old abode last month as a steady, cold and miserable rain fell. Rain on moving day, how ... irritatingly stereotypical. Even more so for Roben and Jeff, whose indispensable incomes have allowed them to amass quite an impressive array of technological equipment.

Protecting and Perfecting Rights to Entitlements from the Impact of Foreclosure
In order to ultimately perfect ownership in Entitlements (as defined below) and/or Materials (as defined below), the foreclosing lender ("Lender") needs to understand the status of Entitlements, Materials and underlying title to both the real and personal property. From this knowledge, the Lender can determine the cost, time and related risk of completing the entitlement and development process.
The purpose of this article is to explain the issues and processes relating to protecting and perfecting rights in and to entitlements and related materials from the impact of foreclosure. Also, for purposes of this article, "Entitlements" are parcel maps, tentative maps, final maps, coastal permits, grading permits, building permits and the like; and, "Materials" used to process an Entitlement usually, but not always (depending on the Entitlement), include consultant contracts, renderings, draft maps, consultant reports, designs, building plans and specifications, and the like.

At least the sets are still there - in the Moroccan desert!
So, hundreds of years from now, when archaeologists stumble across this stuff, I wonder what crazy stories they'll come-up with to explain it. Which ALSO makes me re-think "Stonehenge." Maybe it's not the ancient holy Druid hookie-dookie everybody thinks it was. Maybe, if we could go back in time and ask a Druid what's the deal with the big rocks, he would honestly say: "Ahh, we were just screwin' around. Why? They're not still there, are they? Jeez. Sorry!"

Normally blood flows through the arteries because of a pressure gradient - the heart pumps blood into the arteries and at the moment of most forceful contraction, the pressure in the arteries is about 120 mm Hg - blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mm Hg) and 120 mm Hg is the pressure required to push a column of mercury up 120 millimetres in a blood pressure measuring machine.
When the heart relaxes, the pressure in the arteries drops to a low of about 80 mm Hg, before the heart contracts again and forces it back up to 120 and blood pressure is measured as a set of two readings; the systolic (normally around 120 mm Hg) and the diastolic (normally around 80 mm Hg).
Blood pressure can fluctuate - during periods of physical activity the heart pumps harder and faster and the systolic blood pressure can go much higher than normal – to 180 mm Hg for example and can also be higher during times of stress - it also commonly increases with age.
However in some people, blood pressure stays abnormally high, even at rest and in 95% of cases the exact cause is unknown - the small arteries in the body become narrower and the heart has to pump harder to force blood through the narrowed arterial channels, which pushes up the blood pressure.
Because the cause is unclear this is often called primary or 'essential' hypertension. ...but in a relatively small - about 5% of cases – hypertension is a by-product, of another disease process such as kidney or hormonal diseases like Cushing's syndrome or Lupus. Rare hormonal diseases can cause the release of abnormal amounts of the hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline, making the heart pump harder and causing blood vessels to contract.
Some drugs can also cause hypertension, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), oral contraceptives, corticosteroids and some antidepressant, as can illegal stimulants, such as cocaine, amphetamine and crystal meth.

9 year old Elizabeth Olten was murdered October 21, 2009 by a 15 year old neighbor girl. Why? To see how it felt. The murderer is being charged as an adult. Jan 10, 2012 she accepted a plea agreement. In exchange for pleading guilty to 2nd degree murder (when this is clearly a premeditated 1st degree murder) she will receive a more lenient sentence.

The University of Nevada, Reno aspires to make higher education available to anyone with the ambition to seek a university degree. This means you will find all types of students: National Merit Scholars, transfer students, nontraditional students and international students, too.
To that end, the University's only admission requirements are that students complete a set of required courses, ideally with a minimum grade point average (GPA):
If a first-time new student does not meet the GPA requirement, they may use an SAT Critical Reading and Math combined score of 1040 or an ACT composite score of 22 in place of the GPA requirement. Test scores are required for admission.
If a first-time new student does not meet the GPA requirement, students who graduate with an Advanced Diploma from a Nevada High School will be granted admission to the University. Submit your final official high school transcript to support your application for admission.
Completing your admission to the University will also require other documents like standardized test scores (for placement purposes) and immunization records.
The first step is to determine your student type. The majority of students applying are those students seeking a bachelor's degree (called undergraduate students). But there are also more specific undergraduate student types like transfer students, international students and honors students. See information by student type >>
Once you know your student type, you can choose the proper application to submit.
Arrange for your high school to send an official high school transcript directly to:
University of Nevada, Reno / MS 0120
Admissions & Records
Reno, NV 89557-0120
Washoe County School District students may request official transcripts from Docufide.
An official transcript from every college you have attended must be submitted to:

The subatomic world, where particles are not solid objects so much as smears of probability, may seem counterintuitive, even illogical. But since the early 1980s, a number of scientists (starting with the late Richard Feynman) have been thinking through schemes to exploit the oddball laws of quantum physics to rational ends; their goal is to create a radically new kind of computer, one far smaller and swifter than any modern silicon device. Though a functional "quantum computer" still lies beyond the grasp of current technology, a succession of theoretical and practical advances suggests some heartening progress toward that goal.
In a quantum computer, information is stored not as a string of ones and zeroes, but as a series of quantum-mechanical states: spin directions of electrons, for instance, or polarization orientations of a photon. In 1985 David Deutsch of the University of Oxford pointed out that quantum physical law allows particles to be in more than one state at a time, making it possible for each particle in a quantum computer to hold more than one bit of information. (In this field, the term "bit" is replaced by "qubit," meaning quantum bit.) A computer containing, say, a hundred particles could execute a computation on 2100 numbers at once. The ability to crunch many numbers at the same time--known as massive parallelism--would make quantum computers ideal for some basic computing tasks, such as factoring large numbers. Two years ago, Peter W. Shor of AT&T Bell Labs presented an algorithm showing exactly how a quantum computer would carry out such task.
But there is much more to quantum computers than breaking down large numbers. At last May's ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing, Lov K. Grover, also at Bell Labs, announced a more down-to-earth application: a crafty algorithm that, building on Shor's ideas, would allow a quantum computer to make lightning-fast searches through a database. In this scheme, each item in the database would be represented by a quantum state of a particle in the computer. Relying on the inherently fuzzy laws governing those particles, Grover's algorithm would enhance the state in the system corresponding to the desired item and suppress the others. Rather than slogging dumbly through a list, the algorithm operates on all of the particles at once, so it could far exceed the speed and efficiency of a classical computer.
Such list-searching ability could have applications in many other tasks that require finding the optimal member of a set. And a combined talent for factoring and searching may make quantum computers ideal tools for cracking codes (including the Data Encryption Standard, the official U.S. government cryptographic standard).
Another exciting role for quantum computers involves turning them back on their own world and using them to simulate other quantum-mechanical systems--the behavior of quarks in an atomic nucleus, for instance, or electrons in a superconductor. Seth Lloyd of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is one of the leading researchers working on concrete ways to realize this exotic idea. In essence, the quantum behavior of one set of particles would act as a proxy for that of a different system, bypassing the extraordinarily complex rules of simulation that normally would need to be programmed into a computer.
While nobody is denying the vast potential of quantum computers, even the most ardent enthusiasts are sobered by the obstacles that must be overcome before usable devices can be built. The greatest of these is that the slightest outside disruption--heat or light, for instance--can destroy the balance of quantum states that stores information and makes the computing possible. In technical terms, the system loses its quantum coherence. The very process of reading the state of a qubit can upset the coherence, so retrieving the result of a calculation poses a tough challenge. Even if the system does not fall apart, quantum computers will naturally tend to accumulate errors; the kinds of error-correction schemes developed for classical computers do not translate to the subatomic realm.

Clean money is when the public finances political campaigns.
Politicians are going to do the work of whoever funds their campaign. The only way to get them to do the public's work, is for the public to fund them.
It used to be that politicians had to represent the public in order to get votes. Television changed all that, and now elections are driven entirely by advertising purchased by those who are willing to pay -- and they always have an agenda. But if the public funds the campaign, then its agenda will come first.
It seems ridiculous to think a politician could ever be clean of lobbyist or special interest agendas. but it is possible, we just have to pay them to do it. And as every lobbyist knows, it's a darn good return on the investment.

"Dell is an end-to-end solutions provider today as we continue to build out our data center, software and services capabilities," Chairman and CEO Michael Dell said at the company's 2012 analyst meeting today in Austin, Texas.
Inside Dell's federal government strategy
"We have changed the conversation we're having with our customers. We are a solutions company first, vertically focused, and creating more value for customers with innovative offerings that provide competitive advantage," he was quoted as saying in a company news release.
Dell also announced the company's first dividend of eight cents a share.
The company intends to continue shifting its mix of operating income to Dell-owned enterprise solutions and services that scale vertically and horizontally with customer needs to address both its largest and smallest customers, Dell said.
Evidence of Dell's solutions transition over the past 12 months includes acquiring eight companies providing strategic intellectual property for Dell's growth as a solutions provider, creating a software organization, and opening 11 customer solution centers globally, the announcement added.
The company also has doubled the number of its engineers developing enterprise solutions and more than tripled the number of its specialists selling solutions over the past five years.
The result has been a shift in Dell's sales to higher-margin data center solutions consisting of servers, networking, storage and related software and services, the company said.
The world's third-largest PC maker plans to boost revenue from data-center products and technology services 45 percent to $27.5 billion by fiscal 2016, Dell said, according to Bloomberg News. Over that four-year period, PC- related revenue will climb 8.3 percent to $47 billion.
"The new dividend will keep investors satisfied during this transition period," Brian White, an analyst at Topeka Capital Markets, wrote in a research report cited by Bloomberg News. "Dell's strategy in the enterprise market is moving toward greater focus," he said.
Dell Inc., of Round Rock, Texas, ranks No. 19 on Washington Technology's 2012 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.
