While rolling for transmog stuff is definitely an issue when the game decides who gets what, Ghostcrawler flat-out states that Raid Finder is not the place for vying for transmog loot. There are other places for that. This new personal loot system will be used for world bosses as well.
Ghostcrawler also revealed the bonus roll system, where players will be able to earn tokens from various factions in Pandaria to spend on (among other things) a bonus roll when attempting to get loot off of a boss. This system will award tokens through tasks and dailies, giving people who prepare for Raid Finder a bit of an advantage if they choose to spend a token earned. Faction rewards, enchantments, epic items, and factional gear can also be purchased with these tokens.
The valor points system is also undergoing a revamp, with points taking on a new role of upgrading existing gear, but the final system is not really ready for much discussion. And, yes, the explanation for AoE looting is priceless. Hit the jump for the full post.
I should clarify that the systems we're introducing are actually pretty simple in practice. I'm only going into a fair amount of detail because those are the kinds of questions we are getting. You don't have to understand all the particulars to participate, and we're certain that it will just all make sense once you are experiencing it in-game instead of hearing it described (that whole "show, don't tell" thing). Let's begin:
Personal Loot
Here is how looting works in today's Raid Finder groups:
- The boss dies.
- The game randomly decides which items off of the boss's loot table drop.
- The group rolls Need, Greed, or Pass on each item.
- If you were raiding with a group of friends, you might discuss who should get each item. Even if you ultimately lost, hopefully you are happy that a friend got an upgrade and that your group as a whole is now a little bit stronger.
- But if you're in Raid Finder, you are quite possibly alone with a bunch of strangers.
- So, if you can Need, you probably do, because there's no time for discussion, some of the rollers may be AFK, and even if you piss someone off, you aren't likely to have to pay the social cost of doing so since you'll never see them again.
- The highest roll wins.
- Drama ensues.
- The boss dies.
- The game automatically decides who won some loot, and gives those players a spec-appropriate item.
- Some players may still get mad, but hopefully they are mad at the laws of probability and not at the rest of the raid.
- The boss dies.
- Each player has a chance to win loot, independent of the other players.
- For each player who wins loot, the game randomly assigns them a spec-appropriate item from that boss's loot table. This subset contains only items that the game (meaning the designers in this case) thinks are appropriate for your class and current spec.
- Notice that you aren't rolling Need or Greed. You don't have an option to Pass. The game just says "Take this."
- You can't trade this item, or that would defeat the purpose of removing the social pressure on groups of strangers. If you don't want the item, you are free to vendor, delete, or disenchant it.
We understand some players are interested in off-spec or transmogrification loot, and we will consider future changes to the system to accommodate those desires. However, we're not sure fundamentally that Raid Finder is the best avenue for acquiring that loot. You would either need to take it from another player who actually desires it for their main spec, or a conversation would have to take place to make sure nobody else needed it more than you do. In other words, you would have to stop people from just rolling Need whenever they could. I've seen some suggestions that we allow an option for essentially "I'm happy to get loot beyond just what my main spec can use," and maybe that's the kind of approach we could take, but let's make sure the basic design works first. For now, there are other avenues, such as dungeons, faction gear, normal raids or older content to provide off-spec or cosmetic gear.
Here is a model I've seen some people say they want:
- The boss dies.
- I get the exact item or items I want.
- I never have to come back and kill this boss again.
- I politely ask Blizzard when there will be new content for me to run.
The personal loot system will initially be used for Raid Finder and for world bosses. We want to use it for world bosses because we want it to be fairly easy to form PUGs to take down these bosses when they're up. If my raiding guild is about to take on a world boss, and some lonely hunter is asking to join the group (it's always a lonely hunter, isn't it?), it would be nice to be able to bring him on without worrying about that jerk taking loot away from me or my friends. We want to foster a "the more the merrier" attitude with world bosses.
This is why it's so important to us that the size of the group shouldn't matter. We don't want guilds to try to kill a world boss with the smallest number of players necessary in order to maximize loot per player. When everyone has their own chance at loot, why not make the group as large as you can? Note that you still have to be a member of the group that taps and kills the boss. We want to have a little bit of competition for world boss kills, especially between the Horde and the Alliance. We think that is part of the fun of world bosses; otherwise, why not just stick the gronn in a cave? (That sounds dirtier than I intended.) We don't want everyone in the zone to get credit just by lurking around. We want you to cooperate with other players, and we're trying to remove barriers to cooperation by eliminating loot drama.
Bonus Roll
We have one other new system that will use part of the personal loot model. This is what we're calling the bonus roll.
Once upon a time, raiders had to invest a lot of time and effort every week preparing for a raid. This felt kind of cool in the abstract because it built anticipation, rewarded players who prepared for raid night, and otherwise just added a little more ceremony to the act of entering the dragon's lair to seek glory and treasure. The reality is that you spent your time killing mobs to farm flask materials or gathering Whipper Root Tubers. The reality didn't match the fantasy and we eventually greatly minimized the need to farm consumables altogether. Of course, that led to another problem, as raiders would log on for raid nights, finish, and then have nothing to do the rest of the week. The bonus roll is intended to give those players something to do that is hopefully more enjoyable than grinding elementals or Blasted Lands boars. We want to see players out in the world doing stuff, and we want that stuff to be a little more interesting (if not downright fun) than farming mats.
The way it works is like this: We have two major Pandaren factions, the Elders and the Craftsmen. Completing daily quests and scenarios for each group earns you one of two currencies. The Craftsmen tokens are spent mostly on cosmetic items. The Elder tokens are spent mostly on power items. The intent here is to let players who want some optional content to be able to devote time to both Craftsmen and Elders, while more min-max focused players or players who don't want such a time commitment can stick to Elders. The Elder tokens can be used to purchase head enchants, some nice purple items, and the kind of gear you've come to expect from factions. However, they also sell an item called a Charm of Good Fortune. Imagine you can complete a quest once a week to buy one Charm for 25 Elder Tokens. You also might be able to save up a few charms, but you won't be able to hoard them until the next tier of content.
If you have one or more Charms of Good Fortune, then whenever you kill a raid boss (in Raid Finder, normal or heroic) then a new UI window will pop up asking if you want to spend your Charm on a bonus roll. If you click yes, then you'll instantly get another shot at that boss's loot table! You will always win something from the bonus roll, such as a pile of gold, gems, or flasks. However, you also have a small (but not miniscule) chance of receiving a piece of epic loot. As with the personal loot system, the item will always be something designed for your current spec. Also, just as with personal loot, the game doesn't analyze if you already have the item, if the item would be an upgrade for you, or if you prefer axes to swords or anything like that.
Most importantly, winning a bonus roll has no effect on what other players win on their bonus rolls or what the boss drops normally. If you have saved up several Charms (this will probably happen when you play but don't raid every week) then you can use one per boss, but you can't cash in multiples on a single boss kill. If you want to save up all of your Charms for the final boss because he (or she in the case of the mantid raid) drops weapons or whatever, that is your prerogative, but you'll only be able to spend one per kill. If you want to save up your Charms for heroic bosses, go for it.
Here is an example of per-person loot and the bonus roll in action:
- Stan is a death knight.
- Jim Bob is a warrior.
- Naomi is a hunter.
- The three friends run Raid Finder together and tackle Mogu'shan Vaults. They get matched with a bunch of random folks from across their region. On the fourth boss, the Council of Kings, the game decides that Jim Bob wins an item. Jim Bob is a Fury warrior, so the game is either going to give him a two-handed Strength axe or a Strength bracer, because those are the two Fury-appropriate items on the Council of Kings loot table (in this theoretical example). Regardless of what Jim Bob wins, Stan might also win the same items. Naomi won't ever be offered those items, because they aren't appropriate hunter loot. If she had gotten lucky and earned loot for the kill, it would have been hunter appropriate.
- Let's say Naomi is frustrated because Bob and Stan both won loot and because the trinket she wants won't ever drop. So, she decides to use a Charm of Good Fortune. Let's say she gets lucky and the game decides that she won an item instead of gold, flasks, etc. (Thanks, game!) She might get the trinket she wants, or she might get an Agility neckpiece that is also on the Council of Kings loot table. Her winning an item doesn't affect Stan or Jim Bob or anyone else, even if they use their Charms as well.
Area of Effect Looting
Yes, we are doing area looting. After killing a group of enemies, you may have a bunch of corpses lying around (perhaps because you went all Bladestorm on a bunch of hozen). If you loot one of the corpses, the loot window will include items from all of the nearby corpses for which you have loot rights. Some recent games have incorporated a similar feature, and it's one of those things that players just want in their MMO these days. It's already in and it works fine.
The Future of Valor
The second change I want to mention is that we plan to adjust the role of Valor points. Valor (or the various other names that the currency has had over the years) was originally added to WoW for two reasons: it helped to mitigate really bad luck, for those times when the boss just refused to drop the item you wanted, and it helped encourage players to stay with the group even if they didn't need anything off the next boss.
Over time, we have felt like Valor has taken on too prominent a role, to the point that it risks becoming more important than actual boss loot. This is particularly the case when the tier sets are available on the Valor vendors. We think killing dragons and ransacking their hoard is more epic than shopping at the magic armor store, so we want to shift back toward boss kills being the primary source of epic PvE gear.
In Mists of Pandaria, Valor will be used to power a new feature that allows you to increase the item level of your existing epic items. This means that each week, you can become a little more powerful, hopefully allowing you to kill that boss that has eluded you thus far. There will be a bit of a game in trying to decide when to upgrade your gear versus hoping for a new piece to drop from a raid boss, but our plan is that even heroic gear can be upgraded slightly in this way.
We won't allow you to upgrade Raid Finder gear so much that it becomes better than normal gear, but imagine if you can increase your item level by around eight points. At this time, we're thinking there won't be gear on the Valor vendors at all, but we'll see how that shakes out. Valor will come primarily from dungeons (including challenge modes) and scenarios. You might earn a little from daily quests and raiding as well, but that won't be as efficient.
Final Thoughts
That's a lot of information to absorb all at once I know, and I'm sure it will lead to dozens of questions. It'd be more helpful to us if you were to focus your discussion on how things will feel, and the basic rules of the system, instead of immediately leaping to the conclusion that you've figured out some exploit and ergo the whole thing is doomed to failure. We've stitched up a lot of the egregious loopholes already and the system is a little more complicated behind the scenes than I figured was worth getting into here.
Check it out in beta if you get the chance. Let us know how it feels. We have time to iterate and refine this stuff. Good luck on getting the loot you want, too... but not too quickly.

I am pretty sure Rogan will say the same thing on his podcast when asked about GSP, minus the aliens. Not cool to eek out a confession then spur it onto the public at the most vulnerable time of his career.
That said, GSP has taken alot of mileage of brain trauma in the past couple years. I would like to see him retire when he still has his marbles and his massive wealth rather than watch him go broke after his marbles are all over the floor. GSP owes nothing to the fans, the UFC, Dana White or Johny Hendricks. He owes it to himself to live his life in a manner that would provide him with the most joy.

McFARLANE'S MILITARY: REDEPLOYED FIGURES GEARING UP
Your First Look at this Special Redecoration Line Coming this Fall
Friday, June 24, 2005
Since our initial McFarlane's Military line of realistic modern soldiers will be hitting retail shelves very soon, (Hint, hint: this weekend if you attend the GI Joe Convention in Minneapolis.) the time seemed right to officially unveil our followup series ... McFarlane's Military: Redeployed.
Our idea with this line was to create a redecoration series to be used in conjunction with Series 1 for the set-builder collectors out there or for those who missed (or couldn't get enough of) Series 1.
As such, the Redeployed figures themselves are given the same names as Series 1:Army RangerNavy SEALMarine Corps Recon sniperMarine Corps ReconArmy desert infantryAir Force Special Operations Command, CCTHowever, each version will have several changes to differentiate it from its predecessor. Each will have a new head sculpt and various other newly sculpted bits that -- with the exception of the sniper -- will allow collectors to pair the Redeployed figures with Series 1 to create team- or squad-based dioramas and displays.
Most figures will feature different weapons than their counterparts and there will not be different versions of each figure offered this time out.
We will produce Redeployed in smaller-than-normal quantities, but it will be available at all regular retailers in late September. Enjoy the photography.

The Pinewood Prep campus was bustling with activity last week.
Boys and girls age 6 to 13 participated in activities ranging from tennis to dodgeball during the first annual Pinewood Sports Camp held July 8-12. Pinewood tennis coach Bryant McKee and girls' soccer coach Gail Osborne provided the instruction for the summer camp.
"We thought this would be a good way to help kids build a foundation for soccer and tennis," Osborne said. "They kind of complement each other with the footwork and everything. Once we started talking about it we decided it would be good to add other sports to kind of round it out."
Each day camp consisted of 1.5 hours of tennis instruction, 1.5 hours of soccer instruction, one hour of indoor games and one hour of recreational swimming with a qualified lifeguard present. The indoor games included floor hockey, kickball, dodgeball, basketball and indoor soccer.
The camp is not limited to Pinewood students. Because the school has two gyms, it can be held rain or shine.
"It's open to the entire community and in the case of rain we just move the tennis and soccer instruction inside," Osborne said. "We've had a really good group of kids and it has been a really good week."
Camp hours are from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Registration is $150 per camper.
Information on next summer's camp should be available in March or April; just email Osborne at email@example.com.

At a glance: Psychology
Did you know? Faculty-fostered student research has appeared in a variety of publications including Journal of Offender Rehabilitiation, The Journal of Psychology and the Behavioral Sciences, International Review of Modern Sociology, Readings in Deviant Behavior, Mental Health Issues in the Criminal Justice System, and The College Student Journal.
Psychology Features:
Sleep Study
As the scientific study of all aspects of behavior, the broad discipline of psychology spans both the social and natural sciences, and it provides a solid base for a variety of academic and professional fields. The major is designed to provide our students with a foundation in the core areas of the discipline. Majors study the biological, cognitive, developmental and social contributions psychology has made to understanding human activity, both normal and abnormal. Visit our department's web site.
Distinctive features
- As part of their psychology major experience, many students in the department have translated the knowledge gained through coursework to everyday life by putting their skills into action through various internship and research opportunities.
- ONU's unique location, within 20 miles of three county seats, provides students with the opportunity to work within virtually any kind of social or mental health setting, serving rural, suburban or urban populations.
- The department consists of a group of professors with diverse backgrounds and specializations in the area of psychology.
- Research opportunities come from working side-by-side with psychology faculty in the areas of cognitive, counseling, developmental and learning psychology.
The department facilities in Hill Memorial Building offer:
- Two multimedia classrooms equipped with SMART Board technology
- Human research laboratories include two observation/research cubicles, each equipped with one-way mirrors, intercoms and PCs connected to both the departmental LAN and the University network
- A 22-station social sciences computer laboratory provides dedicated access to a state-of-the-art electronic classroom
Student organizations
Psi Chi – national honor society in psychology, Psi Sigma – the psychology and sociology student club
Program outcomes
The mental health emphasis focuses on the clinical/counseling area of psychology and introduces students to the etiology, course, treatment and prevention of psychological disorders and maladjustments. These professionals work in a variety of settings depending on their interest and level of training. Typical settings include academic sites, medical and mental health service units and private practices.
The experimental psychology emphasis focuses on the various areas of psychology outside the clinical realm and introduces students to psychology as a science. Students learn the mechanics behind conducting psychological research and analyzing the research done by others. They also develop an appreciation for the applied value of psychological research. Experimental psychologists typically work in academia, consulting firms, private industries and government agencies.
Graduate schools
Arizona State University, Ball State University, Bowling Green State University, Case Western Reserve University, Michigan State University, Morehead State University, Pepperdine University, Southern Illinois University, The Chicago Medical School, The Ohio State University, University of Akron, University of California in Pennsylvania, University of Dayton
University of Georgia, University of Indianapolis, University of Michigan, University of Toledo, Washington University, Wright State University
Career opportunities
The major's emphasis on wide-ranging, flexible skills, such as problem-solving, adaptability to changing situations, the ability to work collaboratively and interpersonal relationship skills, gives a bachelor's degree in psychology broad appeal for many employers. Entry-level positions in business, mental health/social services, academics and research facilities are often sought by psychology majors. Recent findings from the American Psychological Association's research office indicate that most majors who do not go on to graduate school often find entry-level jobs in everything from education and social services to business, governments and health care immediately after graduation.
In addition, many of our graduates continue their education in psychology by pursuing advanced degrees at both the master's and doctoral level in clinical psychology, counseling psychology, various areas of experimental psychology, social work, education, law and business. An advanced degree in psychology opens up a wider range of higher-paying jobs in academia, therapeutic settings, research institutions and health care settings.

I received the Geosafari Motorized Solar System for free in order to give a honest review. All opinions are 100% my own. My daughter is only 3 years old and is already interested in the solar system and so I knew she would adore this educational toy. This was very simple to put together. She loves it and doesn't mind to much but the motor is a little noisy. Tolerable, but noisy. I recommend purchasing the AC adaptor with this. As much as it engages children and they want to play with it for so long, it runs through batteries quickly. It also has a Stardome that coverts the unit into a planetarium which I think is awesome, although my daughter does not really understand it yet. I think its a great feature for when she gets a little older and cares to learn about the stars more. It does have small parts, so you must keep an eye on any younger children but I would recommend this for children under 8 as well, just because it is very educational and fun for younger kids to learn on as well.

Beside the motor that is obviously a piece of trash from previous comments and my own motor failing. The 2 other gripes I have is that it could at least come with a power adapter for when the motor breaks down the planetarium will light up, instead of batteries, would lighten the sting of buying a poorly made motor. The last grip I have is where is the southern hemisphere dome for the planetarium part of it, would love to see those stars also. Just a little more and you guys got a hit!

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about GeoSafari® Motorized Solar System:
The first problem I had with this is that the screw for the battery compartment did not screw back in when I put batteries in. I heard the inner pieces fall out into the device, and had to to find my own screw that would fit to close it. Secondly, for the price I paid, I at least expected the planets to orbit in the correct speeds, not all at the same speed. I would rather spend a bit more for accuracy. The only educational value is in where the planets are in relation to each other?
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great as a Teaching Tool!
By m_oachs
from Burnsville, MN
This product is absolutely perfect for teaching children about the solar system! I love how it actually orbits around the sun to show how the solar system works! This tool is great for visual learners in the classroom or at home!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice model of the solar system
By MeetPenny.com
from Mobile, Alabama USA
I received this product in exchange for a review but opinions are my own.My children really enjoy watching the planets move around the sun. It makes a great visual aid when teaching them about the planets. When I was learning, all I had was flat pictures. ;)No, the planets do not move at different speeds but to have a product with such precise movement and timing would be much more expensive. The only problem we have experienced with the Educational Insights Geosafari Motorized Solar System is that the top of our sun falls off easily. I am thankful for the extra lightbulb and understand the need to have the top of the sun removable in order to change the lightbulb... I just wish it was hinged or snapped on better.
Great learning tool!
By Amberlee Cave
from Colfax, CA
I received this Solar System to review from Educational Insights. My youngest daughter is obsessed with just about everything in the sky. Before receiving this product she had a small push button light for her room that would project stars on the ceiling and we were both excited when we got the Solar System. Not only is it functional, but it is educational as well. I can tell her what the planets are and how they move around the sun and the best part is that she can also see it in motion with this! You can have the sun light up and just be yellow, or you can switch the top and it projects constellations on the ceiling which in my opinion is much better than just stars. She loves watching the planets circle around and loves pointing out the constellations on the ceiling. We have so much fun with this and I think it's great for all kids!

We loved it!
By Angie k
from st louis mo
My 11 year old opened this and he loved it. We put it together very easily. The instructions were easy to follow and each planet is labeled as to the instructions for the order you place them. This was fun to use at home and would be a great item to add to anyone homeschooling and learning about the solar system. The only thing is that it was to big to sit on his dresser so we had to leave it on the floor which was no problem.

good example of planets
By tradgirl
from milwaukee wis
Solar system in motion.First off, the instructions were very well done . My 9 yr old son put this together in less then 15 min by himself . One thing he did notice was the machine itself is rather loud while it rotates. Also the light bulb is not as bright as it could.be, it's hard to see the constellations on the wall. Also it was a little hard to distinguish between which planets were which.He thought it was a very cool model. But has those ideas to pass on.
Fun Product. Awesome Customer Service!

About Me Educator, Parent
My son loves the GeoSafari Morotized Solar System. He gets it out now and then to put it together and use it. I have also brought it to our preschool class to show them how the planets orbit the sun. Granted that they don't move in a perfect circle in real life but they get the idea that they move around. The planets themselves do not rotate on the machine while they orbit but you can educate on that fact. The replacement light bulbs are hard to find. The planets will still orbit the sun, it's just the sun that won't shine if the bulb is burnt out. Still useable. Jenna in customer service was so helpful in taking care of our questions and equipment inquiries!
Disappointed Kid on Christmas
By Brandon

About Me Parent
We thought this product would make for a good christmas gift for our son but after assembling this morning and making sure that the batteries & adaptor were working properly, we have come to the conclusion that one of the bulbs included was already burned out and that the motor simply does not work at all. Needless to say, he was very disappointed after realizing that the product was broken on arrival.
Merchant response: This review does NOT brighten our day! Please email email@example.com so we can get your solar system spinning or replace it with one that does.

Merchant response: Oh Johnny B, we're so sorry you're disappointed. It's a balancing act to create a product that gets kids excited about the solar system but doesn't cost an arm and a leg. We went with a separately available AC adapter (EI-8702) and a single speed orbit, rather than a real-time orbit, to keep the price down, but a real-time orbit is definitely on our wish list, too!

TARTA debuts computerized bus-tracking systemWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
TARTA debuted its new computerized bus-locating system on Sept. 24, allowing riders to pinpoint the real-time location of their bus and its estimated time of arrival at their stop.
TARTA Tracker uses satellites and predictive computer software to generate the position of buses and predict arrival times, said Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA) general manager James Gee during a news conference at Downtown Toledo's Park Station.
"When you walk to a bus stop the first thing you think is, 'When is my bus going to be here?' and this answers that question," Gee said. "It takes the uncertainly out of your bus ride."
The tracker can be accessed from a computer, smartphone or mobile device by visiting
TARTATracker.com. Riders can view routes, locate nearby stops or search by street name or route number to view a list of stops and bus arrival times.
Those without Internet access can call TARTA at (419) 243-RIDE (7433) to speak with a representative using TARTA Tracker in the office. Riders can also sign up for alerts via text message, email or browser, letting them know, for example, when their bus is 15 minutes away from their stop, Gee said.
"The alerts were available before, but only with printed schedule information," Gee said. "Now we're providing real-time information, which is new."
Tracking is currently available for a few hundred stops on TARTA's busiest bus routes, but the goal is to eventually provide TARTA Tracker information for all 2,400 bus stops, Gee said.
"We've been tracking the buses with GPS technology for several years. What we've done now is taken our GPS information and overlaid on top of that real-time schedule information and predictive schedule information," Gee said.
About 65 percent of TARTA's passengers use smartphones, according to data collected during the past year of research and development leading up to the launch of TARTA Tracker. The bus line reports 12,000 passenger boardings per day.
"We are changing how customers interact with TARTA. All in all, we're not the same old TARTA," Gee said. "We'll be able to provide better information to you and, as a result, you the customer will be able to make better decisions on how to use our service."
Leading wave
The TARTA Tracker technology and website was developed by Clever Devices, a Woodbury, N.Y.-based company. The mobile website was developed by Maumee-based Hart.
"We're not the first city to do this, but we're on the leading part of the wave," Gee said. "Around Ohio, Cleveland has a similar product, but I'm not sure if anyone else does yet."
The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority debuted a real-time tracker system called NextConnect last year.
About 300 transit systems in 41 states use one of Clever Devices' transportation technology products, although not all use the bus-tracking technology, said director of marketing Amy Miller, who said the company is the largest of its type in North America.
About 25 transit systems utilize real-time passenger information products similar to Toledo's, including Chicago Transit Authority and the Ohio State University bus system, Miller said.
TARTA Tracker heralds a "new era" for TARTA, said Steve Atkinson, director of marketing, at the news conference.
"The TARTA Tracker is a totally new way of answering passenger questions, such as 'Where is the nearest TARTA bus stop?' 'What bus should I take?' 'Is my bus on time?' To answer these and many other questions is now as close as your computer, your mobile device or your phone."
QR codes are being installed on TARTA buses, shelters and stations. The codes will automatically access the TARTA Tracker when scanned by a mobile device.
Rider reponse
Shaheed Rashad of Toledo said he normally doesn't stress about bus schedules because he is self-employed and has a flexible schedule, but said TARTA Tracker will be handy when it gets cold.
"Especially in the winter season, you might not want to be out waiting for a long period of time," Rashad said. "I can look on my computer before I leave and … I might wait for five minutes, but at least I know it's coming and it's not delayed or I missed it."
Rashad's fiancée, Shelly Taylor of Toledo, said she likes the idea of being able to track her son's bus to and from school.
"It's convenient for someone with kids. I wait for my son Downtown and we go home together so for me it'd be convenient to know about what time he's going to come," Taylor said. "It's peace of mind. To me, it's really beneficial."
Owens Community College student Bryanna Simpson of Toledo said she would use TARTA Tracker to time catching her bus to and from school.
"Sometimes you don't know if it's going to be late, or like this morning, it was a couple minutes early, so if you don't know that, you might miss it," Simpson said. "If you knew that, it would be more helpful."
TARTA Tracker is not available for Call-A-Ride or Toledo Area Regional Paratransit Service (TARPS), which provide at-home pickup of riders. For more information, visit TARTA Tracker.com.

HAZARD – A Perry County man will serve four years in prison for the possession and distribution of child pornography.
Detectives with the Kentucky State Police arrested 24-year-old Craig A. Bailey in May 2012 following an investigation that culminated with the execution of a search warrant at Bailey's Krypton residence. Authorities reported seizing several pieces of evidence, including electronic equipment that was used to distribute child pornography.
The investigation was conducted by the KSP's Electronic Crime Branch, and was part of an undercover Internet Crimes Against Children investigation. It began five months prior to Bailey's arrest after police reported discovering a suspect sharing images online.
Bailey was indicted in October 2012 on six counts of distribution of matter portraying a sexual performance of a minor, and 17 additional counts of possession of matter portraying sexual performance by a minor. Both are Class D felonies punishable by a maximum of five years in prison for each count.
Bailey pleaded guilty to the charges during an appearance in Perry Circuit Court on April 25, and was sentenced this month to serve a total of four years. Additionally, Bailey will be required to register as sex offender and comply with state sex offender laws upon his release from prison.

If you have similar ideas or working on projects that are likewise sustainable you should submit them to the Holcim Awards. http://on.fb.me/holcim-awards

definitely a wicked project, but the pricing certainly puts it out of reach for many. I was in Switzerland this weekend and considered seeing about spending a night… until I saw the prices. It's more than a major five star hotel (which would normally have many things included).
I'd certainly be interested in learning more about the domes and their supplier. With insulation being such a major part of heating/housing, I am very curious how a simple membrane structure could provide enough protection against the cold in mid-winter.
As for photos of the chalet… there are a number of them on the site (as well as included in the article) – however the main areas are probably only the restaurant and the spa.

Is there a way to find out if a page is in Edit Mode from JavaScript?
I know in on the server-side can be found using
SPContext.Current.FormContext.FormMode but I can't find any means of doing it from JavaScript.
Is there a way to find out if a page is in Edit Mode from JavaScript?
I know in on the server-side can be found using
Looks like you're looking for MSOLayout_InDesignMode
This will refer to value of the following html input control, which is rendering on the page when it is in edit mode:
Update: for wiki pages, you will need _wikiPageMode parameter:
Returns true or false. I use this in publishing pages.
There is also a global object available called 'PageState'. Among the various members of state information is "ViewModeIsEdit". If the value of this member is "1" then you are in edit mode (e.g. PageState.ViewModeIsEdit === "1").
Note: This variable is initialized after sp.ribbon.js gets loaded and is initialized from the _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames array on body load. So if you plan on using this and need to query a value as soon as the page loads, you will need to do a check to see if the object exists yet.
If you're using publishing pages there is a simple solution to execute javascript only in display (or edit) mode. You can use EditModePanel control to render html depending on the display mode (display or edit). Here is an example:
I hope this can help you.
Declare the javascript variable "IsInPageEditMode" on master page at top as below...
Insert the below mention code immediate after the above code...
Now you can use JavaScript variable IsInPageEditMode whenever you want it...
I am using this code in my existing various applications. We dont face any problem till date. If you face any problem please let me know.... Thanks....
Hope this will help you....
How about checking the ID parameter at the query string if there then you are in edit mode
There must be a bug with the Team site template in SharePoint 2010. This template is the only one where the hidden property MSOLayout_InDesignMode does not change to '1' when you switch to Edit/Design mode. It never has a value. Consequently, I have not been able to detect edit mode in a team site. For me, my issue is that I have some Jquery code to leverage Typekit functionality (more graphical fonts using CSS) and when this runs in edit mode, it causes a 'sp.ui.rte.debug.js access denied' error, which in turn prevents any of the ribbon drop downs (e.g. font) from working.
I have this question many times and bored while trying to find good solution. Dont understand why microsoft not include method which can easy determine mode of display page: display or edit. It have many advices of check different variables, but it cant uniquely say that page in design on different type of page(webpart page and wiki page) and on postback or not.
Is finally tired me and i write this:
I hope this will save someone some time and nerves.

In South Florida there is very underground Horrorcore / Acid Rap music scene with a cult following, lead by popular local acts such as Web Three, Urban Horror Clique, and The J.Hexx Project. Square in the middle is a label on the rise ready to feed South Florida's as well as the entire globe's dark music appetites with a tantalizing smorgasbord of raw hip hop acts. E2DaP Records (pronounced "E to the P"), is headed by dark mind of Horrorcore MC Epitaph.
Recently his label delivered an onslaught of 3 professional releases. The first of which is a self titled LP released by Jersey's own Sullen Mc, it features horrorcore legends Mars and J. Hexx as well as a few other familiar faces (Dj Immortal, Randum Shotz, & Epitaph to name a few). Second up on the list is an experimental, horror themed, Hip Hop EP entitled, "There is No Rest..." all produced by acclaimed producer "J Nyce" of "Psychward". The pseudo-storytelling album revolves around Epitaph's retelling of a horrific sleep study supposedly done in Soviet Union years ago. The final release is the smash hit follow up to last year's surprisingly successful volume one of the label's debut Horrocore mixtape. Volume Two is entitled "The Descent". It features many of last year's favorites as well as some of the more established acts in the Horrorcore genre from around the world.
This year's HC Mixtape murders mainstream instrumentals real Dexter style, with the sharp, edgy, and shocking lyrics spawned from E2DaP and their ever expanding network. You can interact and check out more music from many featured artists on the nefarious www.horrorcore.com.

The letter dated Oct. 1 from the Law Offices of Adams and Adams served the same purpose as an eviction notice, giving everyone living in the mobile home park until Dec. 31 to have their homes moved out of the park.
During an interview with Wells MHP resident Lynn Davis Saturday morning, she said the letter was a complete surprise.
"No one in the park knew. We were in shock," Davis stated.
She has been a resident of the park for 13 years, but many others have lived in the park for 20, 30, and one man has lived there for more than 40 years. After getting over the initial shock, Davis said she started thinking about her neighbors.
She called the Jones County Planning and Zoning Office and spoke to Tim Pitrowski. She was told that he had heard nothing about the notice prior to her call. He and his staff started doing what they could to help, with the first thought trying to find other available lots. That was accomplished by calling every mobile home park in the county.
The zoning officer said he has lists on hand in his office containing spaces available in other mobile home parks in Jones County and the areas where singlewides are allowed for the Wells residents.

GILBERT — The officers with the Gibert Police Department have been very busy within the last 30 days, successfully completing over 100 arrests that include several allegedly associated with illegal drug activity.
Melissa Powell, 32, of Welch, and Kathy Powell, age and address unknown, were taken into custody by Gilbert Asst. Police Chief N. Glanden and Sgt. D. Salmons on charges of possession with intent to deliver and conspiracy.
According to the criminal complaint, a "be on the lookout" order was relayed by Mingo County 911 for a green Ford Explorer that was reportedly occupied by two females and was sighted at the residence of on a known drug dealer/user in the area. An anonymous tip was received stating that the females were allegedly selling drugs in the Gilbert area.
The officers located the vehicle at a Gilbert residence, and the driver and passenger were observed pulling onto County Rt. 80 in the east-bound lane. A traffic stop was performed and the defendant and her passenger were questioned about the tip called into 911. Powell gave written consent for her vehicle to be searched, and a prescription bottle that was labeled as containing the antibiotic Amoxicillin was discovered with 8 Neurontin inside, a prescription medication used for seizures but that is not a scheduled drug. Also located inside the vehicle was a bottle containing 73 tablets identified as the prescription muscle relaxer Flexiril (not a narcotic) and 38 Ativan (anxiety medication) tablets where are listed as a Schedule IV controlled substance.
The officers also located in the passenger's (Burchett) purse, over $240 in cash, approximately $500 worth of jewelry and several additional pill bottles containing a variety of prescription drugs.
The duo were arraigned before Mingo Magistrate Pamela Newsome who set bail in the amount of $15,000 for each female. They were released from the Southwestern Regional Jail after meeting bond requirements and are scheduled to appear in court in the near future to face these charges.

Pardew had previously stated that he would be holding talks with Ashley once the season had finished, and that his job may be in doubt.
However, he has now insisted that there is no doubts at all about his future with the club having already met with Ashley.
"There's no uncertainty about my position," said Pardew, who penned an eight-year deal last year.
"I expect to be manager 100 per cent. It was a good lunch.
"Mike just comes and generally has a chat, says hello to everyone and he thanked all the players for their efforts.
"We all know it has not been our greatest season but you cannot say we've not given 100 per cent.
"We have and therefore have a better scenario next year and we all have to pull together. That was basically his message.
"Like all clubs, we will be sitting down again, discussing plans for next year."

I have- first of all- the worst luck in the world. I have a Western Digital My Book Essential 500GB , just a little simple thing I bought on sale a couple years ago as a back up....that I put a bunch of work files onto.... as a backup - and I need them because my original fies have been lost. BUT... now the backup failed. When I went to plug it in- the USB socket was broken. I opened the case and discovered it had snapped neatly off the little board. Thinking no big deal, I just put the hard drive itself in another enclosure case... and only then did I disocver what everyone else seemed to know- about this proprietary smartware and how it won't let you get at your data.
is there any way for me to get to my data besides paying 600 bux to a data recovery place?
Like... does WD- or anyone- sell the little circuit boards where the micro USB connects, so I can just replace it? Or are each of those boards only for that particular drive?
I really can't believe this. I never NEVER would have bought it if I'd know this. It seems nuts to me that once your drive fails- you're just out of luck. really? No options at all? People who are buying a 100 dollar HD can't afford a 600-1000 recovery fee, IMO. At least I can't.
I'm seeing different opinions in different places so i decided to come to this forum and see if i got a straight answer.
Any help or suggestion appreciated. I'm more of a hardware girl than a software one- in other words,I can physically FIX the drive- but I don't know how to work my way around this at the keyboard end... i am willing to try any software program people might think would work, too, since my stuff seems to be lost to me at this point i have nothing to lose. On it were work files that would have made me about the price I'd have to pay to 'recover' them.. not worth it.
Thanks for taking the time
The data is hardware encrypted by the board with the broken USB port. There are 2 things to try. One get an electronics repair person to solder on a new port and see if that works. The other is to try and find another board on Ebay. Search out the posts by fzabkar he has explained about matching up the numbers you can also PM him. The real problem would come if you used a password.
So.... I ended up doing a a VERY ghetto- time consuiming low tech and messy fix- by hand. There were a few folders on there I had to have and no one seemed to have any real answers for me, although I thank you VERY much for replying at all. THANK YOU, Joe S. I appreciate your courtesy.
So... like I said- time consuming,not neat and ghetto to the max- I actually HELD the broken usb port on by hand and I suspect it was my sheer bit of well deserved good luck that it worked. My hand kept cramping up, and I had to do this for an hour- holding it in place while I drug and dropped with the other.
but it worked- I got my folders. And in the meantime I am ordering a new circuit board with almost the same numbers off ebay and we will see if that does the trick for the rest of them. if not, i am going to write them off and call it a lesson learned- No more haha smart ware for me. EVER.
Bought a seagate to replace it.
send me the board, I can repair that.
.....wanted to come on and let folks in the same predicament know that i have had SUCCESS
sweet success!!! At this moment, my files, unencrypted and ALL there, are busily moving off my password protected MyBook, onto another hard drive.
First of all, during my ghetto transfer, I further damaged the little...tracks (sprry i don't have the technical terms) to the micro USB port, so it was no longer responding to that method.
I was not willing to give up a year's worth of work and literally thousands of dollars of files, so...I shopped on ebay as suggested by several helpful folks, and finally found a control board that matched my broken one- the numbers were the same. it was all the way overseas, though, so i gritted my tetth and bught it, had it shipped.
Today, I hooked that little sucker up to my PASSWORD protected WD MyBook harddrive. YES, I did have a password on it, and that was the debate- wheether or not I'd be able to accesss my files with a different control board, or if those were specific to the drive and my password would no longer work.
Well it did.
Got ALL my files!!!!
so those f you in this predicament who are tech saavy at all and know your way around a harddrive and a screwdriver, try it!
I am so happy I did.
thanks again for the helpful advice!!!!(especiallly frank who did answer via PM)
i don't know if it matters or not, but I never removed the WD smartware software from my laptop while I waited for the control board to get here. even though it took up room and made my grit my teeth literally every time I looked at it!!!
Thanks for posting back with your sucess. Nice to know aboout the password working with a defferent board.
