In this lecture, I will in detail analyse some die-roll methods used in popular games. First, I will show some examples where lack of sufficient analysis has lead to mistaken assumptions about probability or, in my opinion, a flawed design in a published game. The first is an example that shows that players that rely on intuition may be far off in their estimates of probabilities. The second is an example where the designers of a game haven't sufficiently analysed their die-roll methods, so the first published version of the rules contained a flaw, which had to be corrected in later editions. These examples aren't meant to ridicule the people in question, but to show that it is easy to make mistakes about probability unless you do an actual analysis based on the laws of probability. Since we can't expect all players or game designers to have sufficient mathematical background to perform such an analysis, I offer a tool for these people: A program that can calculate probabilities of various die-roll methods. This lecture will show a few examples of how the program is used. Later lectures will occasionally use the tool to analyse specific die-roll methods, but there will be no tutorial as such for the program. For that, I refer to the tool package itself (see below).
Quoted from an old rec.games.frp posting: "Need a 20 to hit? Attack 20 times". The meaning of this statement must be that you have a very good chance of succeeding if you do that. Also, D&D 3E has rule for "taking a 20" that says that you can ensure a result of 20 by taking (roughly) 20 times as long on the task. This rule seems to follow the same line of reasoning. Let us see how true it is. . .
The easiest way to figure out the probability of getting a 20 in 20 rolls of a d20 is to calculate the chance of not rolling a 20, and then subtract that from 1. The chance of not rolling a 20 in one roll is 19/20, so doing so 20 times is (19/20)^20 = 0.36, so the chance of getting at least one 20 in 20 rolls is 1-0.36 = 0.64, or less than two-thirds. This is hardly enough to justify a statement that implies near-certainty, nor a rule that gives absolute certainty.
We can use the same method to calculate the chance of getting at least one d20 when rolling different numbers of dice:
|Number of rolls
|Probability of 20
This shows that you need to roll 45 times or more to get at least 90% chance of getting a 20. Obviously, you can never achieve absolute certainty.
In conclusion: As there is no certainty when rolling dice, an advice for rolling a number of times to get a desired result should always be qualifed by the probability this gives of getting the result. Otherwise, the advice is at best misleading and at worst meaningless. The "taking a 20" rule is, probably, not intended to represent 20 quick attempts, but rather a single careful attempt. Hence, the amount of extra time used has no obvious relationship to the improvement in success chance. All we can really conclude is that the requirement of using 20 times as long is no more natural or obvious than, say, using 10 times as long.
The Storyteller system used by White Wolf's games (Vampire, etc.) has been revised because of a problem with the system for determining botches. We will look at the problem in the original system, how it was fixed in the revised rules and show that the problem hasn't gone away completely in spite of the revision that was intended to fix it.
The Storyteller system uses a dice-pool mechanics, where you roll a number of d10's equal to your ability (which is skill+attribute) and count the number of dice that meet or exceed the difficulty level of the task (this is called the number of successes). To make things more interesting, any 1 rolled subtracts 1 from the success count. In the original system, you would get a botch if the resulting sum was negative. Let us look at how the chance of botch changes when your ability increases, i.e., with an increasing number of dice.
If you roll one die, the chance of botching is 10% (the chance or rolling a 1 on a d10), regardless of difficulty. If you roll two dice, you botch either if you roll two ones (a chance of 0.01) or roll one one and one non-success (a result between 2 and L-1, where L is the difficulty level). This totals to 0.01+2*0.1*(L-2)/10 = (0.02*L-0.03). If L is 7 or more, this is more than 10%. In other words, for difficulties of 7 or more, the risk of botching increases if your ability increases from 1 to 2. For 3 dice, you botch if you roll one 1 and no dice above the treshold or if you roll two or three ones. The first case happens with chance 3*(0.1*((L-2)/10)^2) = 0.003*(L-2)^2. The second case happens with chance 3*0.9*0.1^2+0.1^3 = 0.028. If we insert different values for L, we get:
|Botch risk with 2d10
|Botch risk with 3d10
We see that the chance of botching also increases when going from ability 2 to ability 3 if the difficulty is 8 or more. For difficulty levels 8 and 9, the chance of botching further increases for a while, and then drops again. When the difficulty is 10, the botch chance continues to increase towards 50% when ability increases towards infinity.
It is hardly a desireable property of the die-roll system that the chance of botching a roll increases with ability (even if the success chance also increases). The lesson is that a game designer should be careful to examine the probabilities of his die-roll system to see if there is any undesired behaviour, and modify the system to avoid these if they occur, preferably before the game is published.
White Wolf, as mentioned, did revise the rules. In the second version, botching occurs only if there are no successes and at least one 1. That, however, doesn't change the above calculation for two dice, so the botch chance still increases when the ability increases from 1 to 2. For all difficulty levels less than 10, it declines again already at 3 dice, though. If the difficulty level is 10, the botch chance continues to increase to nearly 27% at six dice before it slowly falls again. Even White Wolf's game Trinity, which fixes the difficulty level to 7, has the problem to a small degree. If 6 was chosen as the fixed treshold, the problem could have been avoided altogether so, in my opinion, that would have been a better choice.
As promised, I will present a tool for calculating probabilities for non-trivial die-roll methods. The tool consists of a notation for describing die-rolls and a program that calculates the probabilities for a die-roll described in that notation. For reasons of space, the following is not a complete description of the tool. Interested readers can download the tool, including a complete manual, from http://www.diku.dk/~torbenm/Dice.zip.
The notation is derived from the informal notation used in many
games, so "
d10+1" means what you expect it to mean. We
will elaborate:
Writing "
dN" specifies rolling an
N-sided die. You can combine this with arithmetic operators and
constants, e.g., writing "
d10+3*d6" to get the result of
ading a d10 to three times the value of a d6. Note that
N*d6" does not specify rolling N
d6's. To roll N d6's, you must write
N#d6", and that will just give you a collection
of N dice, not their sum. To get that, you write "
N#d6". This is a bit more elaborate than just writing
"Nd6", as we are used to, but the more verbose notation allows
us to do other things to collections of dice than just adding them up.
For example, we can count the number of dice that are above a
threshold, e.g., "
count >7 5#d10" to count the number
of dice that exceed seven in a collection of five d10's. Giving this
description to the program yields the following output:
|Probability for =
|Probability for <
|0 :
|1 :
|2 :
|3 :
|4 :
|5 :
|= 1.5
|Std. Deviation = 1.0246950766
The column "Probability for =" column shows the probability of rolling the exact value. The "Probability for <" column shows the possibility of rolling strictly less than the value. To get the chance of getting at least $N$ successes, subtract the "Probability for <" from 1. It is easy to modify the above description to use a different number of dice or a different threshold.
We can extend the above to use the Storyteller mechanism, where
ones subtract from the count. It would be incorrect to write the
plausible definition "
(count >7 5#d10)-(count =1
5#d10)", as the two occurrences of "
5#d10" would
refer to different rolls of five d10's. To use the same
collection of dice for both counts, we must save the roll in a
variable and use that variable twice, i.e., "
let c=5#d10 in
(count >7 c)-(count =1 c)", which yields:
|Probability for =
|Probability for <
|-5 :
|-4 :
|-3 :
|-2 :
|-1 :
|0 :
|1 :
|2 :
|3 :
|4 :
|5 :
|= 1.0
|Std. Deviation = 1.3416407865
Using the original Storyteller rules, the chance of a botch is the chance of rolling less than 0, which can be seen in the second column. Note that the average and standard deviation values are meaningless in this case, as the table goes down to -5 while there is no graduation of botches in the actual game.
In the revised Storyteller rules, not all negative results are botches, so the above can't be used to find the botch chance in thes rules. At some cost in complexity, the die-roll description can, however, be modified to handle botches according to the revised Storyteller rules:
let c=5#d10 in
let succs = count >7 c in
let ones = count =1 c in
if >0 succs then largest 1 (0 @ succs-ones)
else if >0 ones then -1 else 0
Explanation: We first count the number of successes and ones separately. If there is at least one success, the result is the number of successes minus the number of ones, though at least 0 as there can't be a botch. If there are no successes, the result is -1 (botch) if there is at least one 1 and 0 (normal failure) otherwise. The description is, admittedly, complex, but that is because the die-roll mechanism is complex to begin with.
Running the description through the program yields the following result:
|Probability for =
|Probability for <
|-1 :
|0 :
|1 :
|2 :
|3 :
|4 :
|5 :
|= 1.07069
|Std. Deviation = 1.22728681403
Hence, the chance of botching is a bit over 9%, while a normal failure happens in about 26% of the rolls. The combined failure chance is slightly over 35%, unchanged from the old die-roll method.
I have touched only the surface of what the tool can handle. Other features include selecting the least or largest dice from a collection (this was used in the last example) and a mechanism for handling repeated rerolls (as in Rolemaster). I will show examples of these other features in later articles when I discuss more complicated die-roll mechanisms.

DAVENPORT -- Churches are open between Easter and Christmas.
The Hilltop Altar Crawl tour of eight Davenport churches will prove it for any doubters, or to "Christmeasters," a term applied to people who attend church only on Christmas and Easter, spokeswoman June Dominacki said.
The Hilltop Campus Village and People Uniting Neighbors and Churches -- PUNCH -- will sponsor the free, second annual crawl from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, May 4.
Churches on the tour are:
--Bethel A.M.E., 323 W. 11th St.
--First Baptist, 1401 Perry St.
--First Christian, 510 E. 15th St.
--First Presbyterian, 1702 Iowa St.
--Sacred Heart Cathedral, 422 E. 10th St.
--St. John's United Methodist, 109 E. 14th St.
--St. Paul Lutheran, 2136 N. Brady St.
--Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 121 W. 12th St.
Last year's crawl drew about 300 people to tour six churches. Organizers hope to draw about 500 people this year by adding Sacred Heart and St. Paul Lutheran to the itinerary.
"We did have several people last year wonder if we're giving out free samples of communion wine, since we called it an altar crawl," Ms. Dominacki said jokingly.
Ms. Dominacki is PUNCH's secretary and an office manager at First Baptist, one of the tour stops.
Right before last year's altar crawl began, there was a sudden downpour, making some wonder if it was meant to be some kind of communal baptism, she said. "And others wondered if people were just going to sit down in the pews and fall asleep."
"All we want this to be is an open house type of thing," Ms. Dominacki said. "A here-we-are, come-look-at-us event."
Each church will have historical displays and information about services, programs and activities, "but with absolutely no pressure," she said. There also may be bake sales at some of the churches.
"PUNCH works the same way," Ms. Dominacki said. "We do a lot for the community, but don't force anything on anyone."
Every church has its own "niche," she said. "This will help show people what different churches are doing, and make them not look as scary to some people.
"It's unusual to have this many churches working together on a mutual program such as this, sharing ideas and helping each other out so much," Ms. Dominacki said. "It makes our community stronger, and supports local businesses around us, too."
Plus, it's nice just to have something else to do on a Sunday afternoon, she said. The churches are within a couple miles of each other, and most are within walking distance.
"The roots of the churches and congregations participating in today's tour are planted deeply in the rich soil of this early settlement along the Mississippi, according to brochure information to be handed out to tour takers.
"Davenport founder Antoine LeClaire, himself a Catholic, was an early supporter of religious life of all faiths. He generously donated the tracts of land on which Catholic, Congregational, Baptist and Christian congregations built their churches."
Six of the eight churches also are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. May is National Historic Preservation Month, Ms. Dominacki said, adding that it was "another reason we decided to hold it in the beginning of May instead of the end of the month."
Bethel A.M.E. Church, 323 W. 11th St.: A Craftsman-style stucco and half-timbered building, designed by noted Davenport architectural firm Clausen and Clausen, has been in service since 1908. Parking and handicapped accessibility are available on the church's west side and to the north across 11th Street.
First Baptist Church, 1401 Perry St.: The building's cornerstone was laid in 1889 during the 50th anniversary of the congregation's founding. The site had served as a Civil War training camp. The church parking lot is between 14th and 15th streets. The congregation celebrates its 175th anniversary with a special Sept. 18 event.
First Christian Church, 510 E. 15th St.: The sanctuary was dedicated in 1966. The congregation celebrates its 175th anniversary with a special July 27 event. Parking is available behind the church.
First Presbyterian Church, 1702 Iowa St.,: Built 1897-98, designed by Galesburg architectural firm Gottschalk and Beadle, and stained-glass windows by J and R Lamb Studios, New York, N.Y. The church is celebrating its 175th anniversary this year. Parking is available at a Kirkwood Boulevard lot.
Sacred Heart Cathedral, 422 W. 10th St.: Designed by Chicago architect James Egan; dedicated in 1891. When completed, it was the tallest building in Davenport and 10 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty from ground to spire. Parking is available off LeClaire or Iowa streets.
St. John's United Methodist Church, 109 E. 14th St.: Cornerstone was laid in 1902 and services began in 1903. Built for $112,000, as an example of turn-of-the-century Gothic revival. Parking is available in a Perry Street lot behind the church.
St. Paul Lutheran, 2136 N. Brady St.: History dates back to the late 1870s. The first St. Paul building in a Gothic Revival style opened in January 1882. Its second sanctuary was dedicated in May 1902. Another new sanctuary was built in 1952; and a fourth church was built in 2007, a $7.7 million project. Parking lots are south of the church between Brady and Main streets.
Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 121 W. 12th St.: Cornerstone was laid in 1867. It is the oldest church on the tour, consecrated in 1873. Parking lot is at Palmer Drive and Brady Street.

Altai and Shamballa Explore Book nowBack
Russia,Mongolia,China and Kazakhstan
The Altai EcoRegion has been identified by WWF as their Global 200 regions where more than 90 percent of the planet's biodiversity is concentrated.
The major parts of this EcoRegion is shared by Russia and Mongolia, and the minor parts also involves China and Kazakhstan.
The highlands of Mongolian and Chinese parts are rather dry steppes with snow-capped mountains whereas the lower elevation western parts in Russia are largely forested and spectacular, being part of southernmost Siberia, with its own micro-climate.
The Russian,Kazakhstan parts are significantly more humid and wet. There are excellent apples and many berries of different kinds. Kazakhs, Russians and Altai peoples inhabit Russian Altai and other three sides are also mostly Kazakh, but also Tuvans, Mongols and many other ethnic minorities. The local people in the entire region speak a myriad of local languages such as Slavic, Mongol,Chinese, Turkic and Altai language groups.
Visiting Altai regions, you come to Ancient Shamballa's Kingdom.
Shamballa is the centre of high evolutionary energies,so it is the source of all our religions.The most beautifull landscapes, ancient desert ruins of Altai,which are known as Ancient Silk Road Culture, can tell you many secrets about Shamballa's Kingdom
Brief Outline Itinerary
You will fly to either of Barnaul (Russian Altai region) via Moscow. Flight connections are best negotiated with Russian Aeroflot Airlines who fly on-line to Barnaul, Urumqy,Ulaanbaatar and Oskemen(Eastern Kazakhstan). So it gives you to join this Altai round-trip from any parts of Altai.
The border crossing at Tashanta (Russia) and Tsaagannuur (Mongolia) is open for third country nationals as of 2005 only.Between Mongolian and Chinese Altai parts,you will fly with Mongolian AeroMongolia Airlines.
We will make the border crossing at Jemenay(China-Kazakhstan)by bus and Kulyndy
(Kazakhstan-Russian) by train.
Barnaul- Katun RiverArrive Barnaul in the early morning. It is the largest and ugliest city of the region with some 700 000 inhabitants. Barnaul is the urban hub for the Altai region. We will be invited for breakfast and registration procedures will take place here. Our bus will take us in 6-7 hours to the banks of the spectacular Katun River, a tributary of the mighty Siberian river Yenisey. We will have our lunch en route. The Katun and Choy Rivers follow the road and the surrounding mountains are high, often most with snow capped peaks. The dense forests will thin out as we gain elevation and there will be cedars at Seminskiy. We will pass several villages where Altai people's lives. The Altai are Turkic speaking people. Such as at the village of Ondugai. Above Inya village - we will camp out near the river or up a valley, a few 2-3 hours short from the Mongolian border. Tented camp. (L,D)

The archeologists found out that the man discovered was one of the most mysterious people of the Pre-Christian antiquity: they also discovered that he was a nomad of the Iranian origin and that his civilization was very prosperous at the beginning of 2000 BC.

However, the defense committed three errors and Juan Graterol had a passed ball. Left fielder Ethan Chapman did throw out a runner at second base and third base.
Greg Billo dropped to 0-2 on the season, as he allowed five runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks over four innings.

Daniel Stumpf dropped to 0-3 on the season, as he allowed four runs on nine hits over four innings. He did not walk a batter and struck out five. Reliever Aroni Nina did not fare any better (2IP, 3H, 3R, BB, 4K). Two of those runs scored via a 5th inning home run.
The Blue Rocks collected seven hits. Zane Evans caught his first game since coming off the DL two days ago and went 2-for-4 with his seventh double of the season. Lopez also had two hits in the loss.

WASHINGTON --( ESPN.COM ) All along, the NFL said it was certain the players' union would decertify and head to court.
All along, the union insisted the league's owners were planning to lock out the players.
And that's exactly what happened.
Unable to decide how to divvy up $9 billion a year, NFL owners and players put the country's most popular sport in limbo Friday by breaking off labor negotiations hours before their collective bargaining agreement expired.
The union decertified, and 10 players, including MVP quarterbacks Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, sued the owners in federal court in Minneapolis.
Then, at midnight, the owners locked out the players -- creating the NFL's first work stoppage since 1987 and putting the 2011 season in jeopardy.
Despite two extensions to the CBA during 16 days of talks overseen by a federal mediator -- following months of stop-and-start negotiating -- the sides could not agree on a new deal. Now they will be adversaries in court: The players already requested an injunction to block a lockout, even before one was in place.
The NFL released a lengthy, detailed statement Saturday morning.
"At a time when thousands of employees are fighting for their collective bargaining rights, this union has chosen to abandon collective bargaining in favor of a sham 'decertification' and antitrust litigation," the statement read. "This litigation maneuver is built on the indisputably false premise that the NFLPA has stopped being a union and will merely delay the process of reaching an agreement."
In the end, it appeared the sides were about $185 million apart on how much owners should get up-front each season for certain operating expenses before splitting the rest of the revenues with players -- a far cry from the $1 billion that separated the sides for months.
But the NFL Players Association refused to budge any further without getting detailed financial information for each team.
"I would dare any one of you to pull out any economic indicator that would suggest that the National Football League is falling on hard times," NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said. "The last 14 days, the National Football League has said, 'Trust us.' But when it came time for verification, they told us it was none of our business."
By dissolving and announcing it no longer represents the players in collective bargaining, the union cleared the way for class-action lawsuits against the NFL, which exercised a CBA opt-out clause in 2008. The antitrust suit -- forever to be known as Brady et al vs. National Football League et al -- attacked the league's policies on the draft, salary cap and free-agent restrictions such as franchise-player tags.
Invoking the Sherman Act -- a federal antitrust statute from 1890 that limits monopolies and restrictions on commerce -- the players are seeking triple the amount of damages they've incurred. That means the stakes could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
It could take a month for a ruling on the union's injunction request, and antitrust judgments should take longer.
Depending on what happens in court -- a Minnesota judge has held jurisdiction over NFL labor matters since the early 1990s -- the 2011 season could be threatened. The last time NFL games were lost to a work stoppage came when the players struck 24 years ago, leading to games with replacement players.
A lockout is a right management has to shut down a business when a CBA expires. It means there can be no communication between the teams and current NFL players; no players -- including those drafted in April -- can be signed; teams won't pay health insurance for players.
Even though the NFL is early in its offseason -- and the regular season is six months away -- this is hardly a complete downtime. Free agency usually begins in March, and there are hundreds of free agents now in limbo. Also this month, under a regular schedule, team-organized offseason workouts would start. The lockout grinds all such activity to a halt.
Here is the ESPN.com story from Friday:
Washington (ESPN.com) The NFL Players Association has filed papers to decertify, effectively disbanding the union and giving it the chance to sue under antitrust laws if there is a lockout.
"The NFLPA will move forward as a professional trade association with the mission of supporting the interests and rights of current and former professional football players," the group said Friday in a statement.
The move follows a 16th day of federally mediated negotiations in which the union, presented with a proposal from the league's owners group late Friday afternoon as a 5 p.m. decertification deadline approached, rejected the offer as "significant differences continue to remain," union chief DeMaurice Smith said.
Eyewitness Sports director Jeff Russo has the latest on Channel 7 and in the SPORTS section of wkbw.com, including letters from both sides.

Man accused of neglecting 11-year-oldJune 26,2013Man denies neglect of 11-year-old
BENNINGTON — A local man is being held on $5,000 bail after police said he neglected a developmentally-disabled, wheelchair-bound child who a doctor said was "critically ill."
Ralph Brown, 44, of Bennington, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court to a felony charge of first-degree aggravated domestic assault and a misdemeanor charge of cruelty to a person in the care of another.
In an affidavit, Detective Anthony Silvestro, of the Bennington Police Department, said he was told about the child on April 19. At the time, the child was a patient at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire.
The child was taken to the emergency room of the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington on April 17 and then to Dartmouth-Hitchcock because he was hypoglycemic, dehydrated and in respiratory distress.
Brown, who had custody of the child from April 8 to April 17, told police he knew the child had been sick during that period. He also told Silvestro that he regretted not taking the child to see a doctor.
At Dartmouth-Hitchcock, an evaluation of the child was done and a resulting report found there was evidence of possible maltreatment and neglect because of poor hygiene, pressure ulcers and the dehydration.
Brown, who is currently being held in the Springfield jail was ordered on Monday not to provide care for any child younger than 18.MORE IN This Just InAwards, according to the Rutland Recreation department: Full StoryBy JAMIE NORTON Full StoryBRANDON This unit needs a nickname. Full Story

May 7, 2012This show has an interesting hook in the first episode. The first 30 minutes or so it just doesn't look good for the main character as he's in a lot of stress due to the whole doctor schedule. He pretty much losses everything, his job, his wife in the pilot episode. But after his brother walks in, his life is refreshed. At first, I didn't like how the episode was going and was but after his brother Evan walks in, it all changed. Royal Pains is nothing like the House Series. Its more unique and takes place surrounding their own built company. Every episode leaves a cliff hanger that makes you want to keep coming back for more. I highly recommend this show to anyone who's interested in medical, adventure, comedy, drama etc.… Expand
No one's ever going to say Royal Pains, with its pun title (although Scott is the only royalty around, most of the upper-class patients prove to be real pains), is a classic addition to the medical genre, but it certainly is zippy fun.
Royal Pains is a crappy but watchable series about a "concierge doctor" in the Hamptons, radically unambitious but better at balancing the guilt with the pleasure.
The one-liners are broad, the plots preposterous. And yet it all works in a lighthearted-summer-fare kind of way, helped along with almost pornographic images of Hamptons wealth.

For the first time, scientists have expanded life's genetic alphabet, by inserting two unnatural, man-made "letters" into a bacterium's DNA, and by showing that the cell's machinery can copy them.
The advance means that scientists have a new tool for exploring how life encodes information, which could help them understand life's origins.
What's more, this is a step towards giving living cells new abilities, like being able to make more and better medicines, cheaper and faster.

Scientists at MIT have developed a new simulation that traces 13 billion years of cosmic evolution. They start the simulation shortly after the big bang with a region of space much smaller than the universe (a mere 350 million light years across). Still, it's big enough to follow the forces that helped create the galaxies we see today, and correctly predict the gas and metal content of those galaxies.
At first, we see dark matter clustering due to the force of gravity (first two GIFs). Then we see visible matter — blue for cool clouds of gas where galaxies form, red for more violent explosive galaxies (second two GIFs).
Super massive blackholes form, superheating the material around them, causing bright white explosions that enrich the space between galaxies with warm but sparse gas (fifth GIF).
Different elements (represented by different colors in the sixth GIF) are spread through the universe.
We arrive at a distribution of dark matter that looks similar to the one we see in our universe today (seventh GIF).
The simulation is so complex it would take two thousand years to render on a single desktop. And it's kinda beautiful.

Essentially, entanglement involves two particles, each occupying multiple states at once — a condition referred to as superposition. For example, both particles may simultaneously spin clockwise and counterclockwise. But neither has a definite state until one is measured, causing the other particle to instantly assume a corresponding state. The resulting correlations between the particles are preserved, even if they reside on opposite ends of the universe.
But what enables particles to communicate instantaneously — and seemingly faster than the speed of light — over such vast distances? Earlier this year, physicists proposed an answer in the form of "wormholes," or gravitational tunnels. The group showed that by creating two entangled black holes, then pulling them apart, they formed a wormhole — essentially a "shortcut" through the universe — connecting the distant black holes.

Late last week, Emily Graslie of Brain Scoop posted a new video in which she explains exactly why it's so difficult to be a woman in a STEM field: While she gets a lot of support and positive feedback, many "fans" simply want to discuss her appearance and how fuckable she is.

ATLAS sees Higgs boson decay to fermions
The ATLAS experiment at CERN has released preliminary results that show evidence that the Higgs boson decays to two tau particles. Taus belong to a group of subatomic particles called the fermions, which make up matter. This result – measured at 4.1 sigma on the 5-point scale particle physicists use to determine the certainty of a result – is the first evidence for a Higgs decay to fermions.

GA Strategic Development Plan: 2014-2019
The Geographical Association exists to further geographical knowledge and understanding through education. Our work, since our foundation in 1893, is founded on our belief that geographical education enriches the lives of all young people and that a dynamic subject community is built on professional participation and innovation.
The GA's values are:
- geographical education enriches the lives of all young people
- a dynamic subject community is built on participation and innovation
- an independent Association demands stable finances.
Our Strategic Plan sets out what we want to achieve over the next five years, and how we plan to achieve it. It helps us to set our direction, prioritise what we do and reflect on how well we are doing. The draft plan has been written in consultation with GA staff, trustees and volunteers. Now you have an opportunity to comment on our ideas.
Our vision and aims for 2020
'Providing a trusted voice for geography in education'
In the increasingly complex and faster-changing world of education, the GA will position itself as a source of trustworthy and authoritative advice and guidance on all matters relating to geography in education. We will provide support to teachers and advice to government and other organisations so that the benefits to learners of a quality geographical education are made clear.
note: this file requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
If you do not have this you can get it free from the Adobe website.
Our strategic aims will guide our work and help achieve this vision. Each of the aims is necessarily broad, intended to have relevance over the entire planning period and provide a sense of strategic direction. Under each aim we have identified some strategic priorities. These will help us to focus our actions on an annual basis.
Strategic aim 1 - Meet professional and educational needs
As the leading subject association for all teachers of geography, we need to engage and support geography education professionals at every stage of their careers. We will provide students with the quality materials they need to learn, and teachers with the practical help and advice they need to teach, alongside the professional guidance needed to develop their expertise. To extend the range of GA support, we will also find ways to extend help to non-members, in ways that do not undermine the benefits of membership.
Strategic aim 2 - Demonstrate the value of geographical education
Although the range of school settings is widening and the competition for space within the curriculum remains intense, the GA's Manifesto makes clear that geography is a fundamental part of everyone's education. By drawing on the evidence of research and classroom practice, and by working constructively in partnership with others, we will ensure that teachers, school leaders, policy makers, the media and other relevant organisations appreciate the rich opportunities for learning offered by geography and its role in promoting personal and intellectual development for young people.
Strategic aim 3 - Use our resources efficiently and sustainably
In order to maintain its independence and support its charitable mission, the GA will stabilise its finances over the planning period. We will make effective use of key assets, such as its staff and volunteers, and explore the potential of technology and our headquarters building. At the same time, we will seek to extend the range of financial support and prepare the Association for the future.
note: this file requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
If you do not have this you can get it free from the Adobe website.
How we will measure our success
Our vision and strategic aims provide us with a clear and compelling ambition for the next few years. In order to be effective, we need to describe our ambition in clearly measurable terms. We will identify a range of indicators to help us do this. Our indicators will include quantifiable outcomes, such as the level of membership or the number of teachers who buy books from our professional range, to qualitative information, such as feedback from CPD courses and the impact of the Association on geography education policy

We have a small network consisting of an NT 4.0 Server with Win95, Win98
and W2k workstations connected to it. There are three versions of a
login banner popping up on these workstations and we need to standardize
to the one "official" version. We've changed the banner on the server,
but this has only changed some workstations. Most still have their old
login banner displaying. Can anyone tell me how can we push out the
changed login banner to all workstations?
I've been doing mainframe (acf2/racf) security for 10 years and just
started working on our NT environment (didn't lose the MF resonsibility,
though), so I apologize if this question is overly simplistic. Please be

As I sit here and write this, I'm sore from head to toe. I played hockey yesterday and the hard-hitting game took a toll on my body. I'm so sore that all I can think about is getting a nice rubdown and I'd love to get one from the babes on Nuru Massage.
Getting around NuruMassage is simple thanks to clearly defined sections. When you first sign in, you land on the website's homepage where all of its latest updates are displayed. They're still updating on a weekly basis, so the site continues to grow.
The "nuru" is a massage like no other. The process usually begins with a guy being helped out of his clothes by a hot babe who disrobes as well. She then guides him into a shower where she caresses his body and plays with his rigid cock. Next, the guy is led to a Jacuzzi where he gets to enjoy more of the same.
From there, he's taken to a plastic mattress and gets covered in a slippery gel. The chick covers her body in the gel too and rubs the lucky dude from head to toe, making sure to give his penis special attention until he cums. This attention can include a handjob, a blowjob and pussy or anal sex.
Can you see why I want one of these now? I should note that the gals occasionally get massages too and in some cases, two different hotties will work on the same guy. There are even cases where one masseuse performs on two dudes.
To date, there are 261 videos and they can be downloaded as MP4 and Windows Media files. All movies come with formats for portable devices and they can be streamed in an embedded Flash player as well. The best movies bring you Full HD playback.
There are 273 photo galleries. They pretty much mirror what's in the videos, but they look quite good and are large, so they're worth a glance. More recent sets contain high-res images that are awesome and you can save them in Zip files.
There are three Nuru Network sites that you can access when you get a membership, so go ahead and enjoy All Girl Massage, Soapy Massage and Massage Parlor. You can check out all the updates from across these sites by following the "network" links. Nuru Massage will really give you a happy ending.

The content of the site is very high quality, erotic and exclusive. I like the fact that they use their entire body to satisfy their customer. The three bonus sites (allgirlmassage, massage-parlor and soapy-massage) are really a big bonus.
A big downside is the price arrangements. I wanted to sign up but I didn't. A second later I received a message for a better deal. Almost half the price. I did some googling and this is the case for every site run by famesupport.

I haven't seen a site with such consistent quality & unique erotic AND exclusive content. I must say, this site is worth well more than the cost. A hot young woman (often but not always asian) sensuously stimulating a lucky guy till he has an intense erection, & then oiling herself and him up and giving him a mind-blowing totally cock pleasing massage is hard to beat (no pun intended although I must say, this site is a sure-fire boner inducer!). I love that the girl always finishes the guy off! Many sites have far to little of this. The only down side is the only medium-ish amount of content. Still, it's well worth it!

I love this site along with its partner sites, Soapy Massage and Massage-Parlor. They offer handjob/blowjob scenes with the occasional hardcore including anal for those that like that. Often the scenes feature lots of kissing though I wish they paid attention to breasts more often. These three sites are definitely the best of the "massage" style sites. They do welcome customer suggestions for scripts/scenarios and talent requests.

i was watching this scene from southern raiders the other day
so the ceiling is falling right?
of course katara is right under it
but who else is here? …suki?
suki, are you moving AWAY from katara? shouldn't you try to help her?
it's okay because zuko sweeps in like OUT OF MY WAY SUKI I'M GONNA SHOVE YOU
so did he just save suki too or….?
katara you have horrible instincts. zuko always needs to come save you from things about to kill you.
she's like a rag doll. also suki is still in the line of fire?!?
not anymore, i guess…? suki?!?!
and i love how conscious zuko is of her boob.
such a gentleman. won't touch it but just leaves his hand slack there.
