COVINGTON -- On average, Newton County School System high-schoolers taking the SAT are still scoring below state averages.
Eastside High School was the only NCSS high school to post scores higher than state averages in two areas, while the two other high schools in the county posted average scores between more than 20 to more than 50 points below state averages.
"Not unlike recent ACT results, our overall SAT results indicate we have work to do in better preparing our students for college," said NCSS Superintendent Gary Mathews in a press release on Monday. "In meeting with middle and high school principals and counselors last week, I stressed the importance of our students taking rigorous course work to be optimally prepared for college and the required entrance exams."
The SAT is a national college entrance exam that assesses how well students analyze and solve problems; typically students take it during their junior and/or senior year of high school. Each section has a possible score from 200 to 800.
Overall, the average 2010 SAT score of the 454 NCSS students who took the test was 1368 out of 2400, according to data released by the College Board. The average score of the 52,632 public school students in the state who took the test was 1442, and the nation's 1,547,990 students scored an average of 1509.
In Newton County, Alcovy's average was 1367, Eastside's was 1445 and Newton's was 1318.
Eastside scored above the state's public schools overall and in the individual areas of critical reading and writing with 492 and 474, respectively. The state's averages were 484 and 471 in those two areas. In math, Eastside's 113 students who took the test scored 479, which was eight points below the state's public schools average.
"The administration and faculty of Eastside High School are extremely proud of our 2010 SAT data," said Dennis Roddenberry, principal of Eastside High School, in the press release. "This group of students reversed a negative five-year trend that we had been experiencing. With an increase of 18 points in reading, 18 points in mathematics and finally a 13-point increase in writing, our students demonstrated a statistically substantial increase over the previous year's results."
Mathews gave "kudos" to the school.
"We look for this trend to continue even as more Eastside students take the SAT," he said.
Newton High's 172 students who took the test this year scored an average of 447 in critical reading, 434 in math and 437 in writing -- the scores are 37, 53 and 34 points, respectively, below the state's public school averages. Although 60 more NHS students took the test, critical reading scores dropped 16 points from last year, math dropped 17 and writing dropped 20.
"The decrease in SAT scores for Newton High School has raised curricular concerns that must be addressed," said Dr. Carl Skinner, interim principal for Newton High School. "Although we are not pleased with the scores, we are encouraged with the increased number of students participating in the SAT."
Alcovy High's 168 students taking the test scored on average 462 in critical reading and 449 in writing, both 22 points below state averages, and 456 in math, or 31 points below the state. Nearly 70 more students took the test this year and scores remained steady -- math increased by two points, writing decreased by two and reading was the same.
"Alcovy's performance on the SAT continues to be a focus for students, teachers, counselors and administration," said Dr. LaQuanda Brown, principal of Alcovy High School, in the press release. "As the data continues to be made available to us, the staff will begin to discuss plans for college readiness, ensuring that we are doing all that we can in regards to preparing our students for life beyond high school."
She said some staff members are researching transition and summer readiness programs and best practices that have proven to help other students.
Mathews also asked the system's Curriculum, Instruction and Technology Department to work with each school's staff in establishing a protocol for students and parents to access when it comes to better preparation for taking the ACT and SAT exams.
"This will likely dictate that we in the school system stop, start or amend doing some things," he said. "Certainly our five-year SAT trend in reading, math and writing calls for such."
The five-year trend on the SAT shows that overall averages in NCSS have dropped at least 99 points. And this year, the average composite score of the 582 NCSS students who took the ACT, another college-entrance exam, was 18.9, below the state's average of 20.7 and the national average of 21.

At this stage of baseball's offseason, the headlines are typically reserved for the big-ticket acquisition and the occasional blockbuster trade.
Behind that glitzy curtain is where you'll find new Red Sox farm director Ben Crockett. His mission is to replenish the upper levels of the farm system with players who will hold down the fort in Triple-A Pawtucket, ready to contribute if injury besets one of the major-league starters.
At this stage of baseball's offseason, the headlines are typically reserved for the big-ticket acquisition and the occasional blockbuster trade.
Behind that glitzy curtain is where you'll find new Red Sox farm director Ben Crockett. His mission is to replenish the upper levels of the farm system with players who will hold down the fort in Triple-A Pawtucket, ready to contribute if injury besets one of the major-league starters.
As always pitching remains the most sought-after and essential commodity. To that end, Boston has stocked the cupboard with signings of pitchers Justin Thomas, Jesse Carlson, Doug Mathis and Will Inman, according to Baseball America's transaction report. The quartet figures to provide PawSox manager Arnie Beyeler with adequate coverage in the bullpen followed by opportunity in spring training to win a job with the parent club.
Mathis is intriguing based solely on his 2011 season. He split 17 starts between the Triple-A affiliates of the Athletics and Giants after getting released by the Indians at the tail end of spring training. The 28-year-old right-hander took his skills across the Pacific Ocean with the Samsung Lions of the Korean Baseball Organization, where he posted a 5-2 record and a 2.52 ERA.
Mathis, Thomas and Carlson, who grew up in New Britain, Ct. and pitched for UConn, have previous pitching experience in the majors. Inman will suit up for an American League affiliate after spending his first seven pro seasons toiling in the Brewers and Padres' organizations.
"It seems that we've made some progress but we still have some room to make more moves," said Crockett, who assumes a role within Boston's baseball operations department previously held by Mike Hazen and Ben Cherington. Hazen was named assistant general manager following Cherington's appointment to team GM.
"Everything that you do is based on the major league team's needs," Crockett said, echoing a sentiment made by his predecessors. "We're trying to make sure we have depth throughout."
Staying with pitching, Tony Pena Jr. and Brandon Duckworth will also be back with the PawSox as will knuckleball artist Charlie Haeger, who was in line to start Game 4 of the Governors' Cup opening-round playoff series against Lehigh Valley had Pawtucket been able to stave off elimination. Haeger was assigned to Double-A Portland upon joining the Red Sox in late July.
Pena Jr. headed to the Dominican Winter League with the intent of continuing to get stretched out as a starting pitcher after making the transition from the bullpen midway through last season. To date, the son of former Red Sox catcher and current Yankees bench coach Tony Pena has made 23 appearances (all in relief) with Aguilas Cibaenas, going 1-0 with a 3.20 ERA. Pena Jr. has been used in somewhat of a specialized role, his last 10 appearances spanning a total of five innings.
Pawtucket's staff could also feature familiar faces Andrew Miller, Felix Doubront and Michael Bowden. All three are out of options.
The Red Sox have been quiet when it comes to inking position players. Such inactivity is an indication that – barring a trade, of course – that right side of the infield will consist of first baseman Lars Anderson and second baseman Nate Spears. The left side has the potential to one day play side-by-side in Boston with third baseman Will Middlebrooks and shortstop Jose Iglesias.
The 23-year-old Middlebrooks is doing just fine after injuring his thumb during the Arizona Fall League, reports Crockett.
"He's back to full offseason-work mode and is on track to be ready to go for spring training, probably even before that," Crockett said.
Catcher Ryan Lavarnway is also back to full strength after an illness limited his stint in the Venezuelan Winter League to five games. Joining him behind the plate will be Luis Exposito.
"He got some care (in Boston) and after not too long was just fine," Crockett said when asked about Lavarnway. "We don't anticipate any kind of issues with him. His offseason hasn't been impacted."
The story with Ryan Kalish is continued progress, but Crockett threw up the caution flag when asked whether the outfielder would be ready to go for spring training, mentioning that Kalish has yet to face live pitching. Kalish's 2011 campaign was cut substantially short due to shoulder/neck ailments.
"Everything's been pretty positive thus far. It's only been a couple of months since [undergoing neck surgery] but I think he's probably where we want him to be and hoped he'd be," Crockett said. "He's strengthening his range of motion. It's not gotten to the point of baseball activities as of yet but will certainly be a part of the process going forward."
Expected to flank Kalish in the outfield are Daniel Nava and Che-Hsuan Lin. J.C. Linares was able to get 18 at-bats in the Arizona Fall League following a 2011 season that was short-circuited after tearing a ligament in his ankle, which required surgery.
Crockett hinted that the Red Sox have plans to announce the organizational staff alignment within the player development system for the upcoming season "pretty soon." In an ironic twist, it's expected that Gerald Perry will replace Chili Davis as Pawtucket's hitting coach. Davis succeeded Perry in Pawtucket and will do so again in Oakland after the A's chose not to rehire Perry. This will mark Perry's third stint with the PawSox after occupying the hitting coach position in 1998 and as recent as 2010.
EXTRA BASES: Save the date for Friday, January 13. That's when the PawSox' annual winter production at McCoy Stadium, better known as the Hot Stove social gathering, is scheduled. The 35th edition will run from 6-9 p.m. Included is the opportunity for fans to pose for pictures and receive autographs from players Brandon Duckworth, Alex Wilson, Luis Exposito and Alex Hassan. Manager Arnie Beyeler will also be on hand to answer questions on what kind of team he expects to field in 2012.

For Immediate Release: July 2, 2013
Contact: Keith Hovis, 651-582-8275 or firstname.lastname@example.com
ROSEVILLE – The Minnesota Department of Education is seeking applicants for a number of new task forces that will be convened to address critical issues like adult education, career pathways and technical education, teacher licensure, and special education.
"The input we received from previous task forces played an invaluable role in shaping the legislation passed during the 2013 session," Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius said. "I am always in awe of the deep commitment to education Minnesotans have and encourage anyone interested in being a part of these task forces to apply."
Standard Adult High School Diploma Advisory Task Force - a nine-member advisory task force to recommend program requirements for adult basic education programs of instruction leading to an adult high school diploma. Commissioner Cassellius will appoint:
Career Pathways and Technical Education Task Force – a 21-member advisory task force that will offer recommendations on how to structurally redesign secondary and postsecondary education. Five people will be appointed by Commissioner Cassellius for this group, including:
Teacher Licensure Advisory Task Force – a 20-member advisory task force established to make recommendations to the Minnesota Board of Teaching, the education commissioner, and the education committees of the legislature on requirements for teacher applicants to demonstrate mastery of reading, writing and mathematics skills through nationally normed assessments, a professional skills portfolio, or accredited college coursework, among other methods of demonstrating skills mastery; and an alternative licensure pathway for nonnative English speakers seeking licensure to teach in a language immersion program. Commissioner Cassellius will appoint:
Special Education Case Load Task Force – an advisory task force of at least 10 individuals who will develop recommendations for the appropriate numbers of students with disabilities that may be assigned to a teacher both with and without paraprofessional support in the classroom, and for cost-effective and efficient strategies and structures for improving student outcomes. Commissioner Cassellius will appoint:
Visit the Secretary of State's Website for more information, required qualifications and application forms. Applications must be submitted by July 23, 2013.

Not sure if he's straight, but after reading this I'm pretty sure we're perfect for each other. Cases in point:
1. Loves The Thomas Crown Affair (I do hope he means the original)
2. Cocktail of choice? Champagne. Cheers, Thom darling.
3. Sucker for white sheets. I prefer mine monogrammed, but then again I grew up in the South.
4. Knows how to let a lady into a taxi/revolving door, dresses up to meet for drinks.
5. Wears a nice watch.
Tick tock, Thom, time's a'wasting. Any chance we can work a discount on that little collection for Brooks Brothers? I could use a new suit or ten.

Telescoping staff: This is the natural progression of the collapsing metal baton. This weapon functions exactly like a quarterstaff except it can be reduced to Small size (for easy carying.) One end of the staff can be extedned to turn it into a club (as a free action.) Or, as a move action, both ends can be extended
Telescoping staff, Simple weapon, dmg 1d6/1d6, Weight 4lbs, Purchase DC 6
As other companies explored laser and rail gun technologies as the new weapons of choice, others went the way of plasma weaponry. With Colt's relative sucess with the Rhino, Remington also decided to persue plasma technology but in a slightly different direction. Instead of building an energy rifle to generate plasma and then fire it, they first had their ammunition division create plasma grenades and from there devise a round to be used in a weapon. From there the weapon devision built a weapon to fire the rounds.
These new rounds are fired using the kinetic energy from a hammer, just like the old center pin fired ballistic rounds that have been in use for the past century or so. This allows for far less training required for those switching to the new plasma cartridge. Unfortunately, the plasma cartridges are larger than most ballistic ammunition, but does come in various sizes for different calibers and power levels.
Plasma Cartridges
RP-01 Light Cartridge: 3d6 fire damage (or whatever type of damage for your campaign), box of 30 rds has PDC of 13. The rounds are about 0.75" in diameter, two inches in length.
RP-02 Stardard Cartridge: 3d8 fire damage, box of 30 has PDC of 14. The rounds are 0.85" in diameter, two inches in length.
RP-03 Medium Cartridge: 5d6 fire damage, box of 20 has a PDC of 16. The rounds are 1.25" in diameter, 2.5 inches in length.
RP-04 Heavy Cartridge: 4d10 fire damage, ignores 5 points of DR/Hardness, box of 20 has PDC of 17. Rounds are 1.75" in diameter, three inches in length.
Model XP1000
The XP1000 is Remington's first weapon to use the new self contained plasma rounds. Since each round contains the energy to create the plasma itself, the XP1000 uses very reliable designs for the action, although the materials used in the hammer, chamber and barrel are all highly heat resistant and designed to withstand the stress of firing a plasma round.
It looks like a much thicker version of the old Model 870 pump action shotgun, only with no cartridge ejection port as the whole cartridge is consumed as the round is fired, using the pump action to load the next round into the chamber. The XP1000 normall uses the RP-02 cartridges, but can also use the RP-01 cartridges, doing so only lowers the damage.
Model XP1000 (PL6)Damage: 3d8 for RP-02 or 3d6 for RP-01Critical: 20Damage Type: Fire (or whatever type your campaign has plasma weapons as)Range Increment: 55 ft, 60 ft for RP-01 Light CartridgeRate of Fire: SemiSize: Large Weight: 11.5 lbsAmmo: 7 intPurchase: PDC21 +3 Military
Super Spartan 3100X
The Super Spartan is a plasma cartridge upgrade to the Spartan 310. Using 29.5" length barrels that are hexagonal in shape, a total diameter of just over two inches, the Super Spartan makes the original Spartan look like a BB gun. Using the same break action, only upgraded with newer materials, the Super Spartan is simple to use and maintain, although slow to reload, still makes it an excellent weapon to use in tight quarters, especially against armoured foes.
Super Spartan 3100X (PL6) Damage: 4d10 fire damage, ignores 5 points of DR/Hardness RP-04 Critical: 20 Damage Type: Fire (or whatever type your campaign has plasma weapons as) Range Increment: 50 ft Rate of Fire: Semi Size: Large Weight: 17.5 lbs Ammo: 2 int Purchase: PDC23 +2 RestrictedSpecial: Requires a minimum strength of 16 to use properly, or suffers a -3 to attack rolls, takes a full round plus a move action to reload a Super Spartan unless a speed loader is used, then only a full action is used.
Model 9100
The 9100 isn't very remarkable in looks except for it's angular design, using a bullpup arrangement, it's the first design to use a magazine instead of an internal tube or break action. The 9100 also has two universal mounts, one under the barrel to allow for alternate weapons, which with the sturdier design allows for heavier weapons to be used (must have sufficent strength to weild both weapons if a large alternate weapon is used). A universal mount is atop the barrel for different scopes to be used. The 9100 uses the Standard cartridge, although medium ones can be used.
Model 9100 (PL6) Damage: 5d6 for RP-03 or 3d8 for RP-02 Critical: 20 Damage Type: Fire (or whatever type your campaign has plasma weapons as) Range Increment: 75 ft Rate of Fire: Semi, Auto Size: Large Weight: 14.5 lbs Ammo: 25 box or 30 for RP-02. A 50 rd drum (60 for RP-02s) is available. Purchase: PDC23 +3 Military
Heat Blades
With the raise of the popularity of melee weapons, new metallurgy technology has been applied to old style weapons. By using high heat resistant metals combined with ceramics, weapon makers have added heating elements to the blades which increases their damage potential. The other added effect is the blade glows from the heat providing enough light similar to a candle.
Heat Sword (PL5 Simple Weapon Proficiency)Damage: 1d8 + 2d6 fireCritical: 19-20 x 2Damage Type: Slashing plus fire when activatedRange Increment: meleeSize: mediumMagazine: 10 minutes of useWeight: 4.5 lbsPurchase DC: 18Restriction: Restricted (+2)Special: Takes one round for the elements to heat up to full temperature.

Entertainer's Heat Blade
One other popular use of heat blades has been in the entertainment industry. By using different types of ceramics and metals used in the blade, and using different levels of heat, and in some cases, coating the blades in different chemicals, they have made the colour the blade glows other than the normal red. Entertainer's heat blades are usually not sharpened for the safety of the user.
The Scottish sword dancer Dawn McClury is one of the most famous entertainers who uses entertainer's heat blade in her routine, as she uses ones that are combat capable. There is an underground pool running as to how badly she will one day hurt herself with her heat blades.
Entertainer's Heat Sword (PL5 Simple Weapon Proficiency) Damage: 1d6 + 2d6 fire Critical: 20 x 2 Damage Type: Bludgeoning plus fire when activated Range Increment: melee Size: medium Magazine: 10 minutes of use Weight: 4.5 lbs Purchase DC: 18 Restriction: Restricted (+2) Special: Takes one round for the elements to heat up to full temperature.
Anti-Laser Aerosol
With the advent of the invention of laser weaponry, various means were developed to counter them. Reflective anti-laser armour works quite well, but can be expensive and also aren't practical in stealth missions. So anti-laser aerosols were invented. Most anti-laser aerosols are grenade shaped devices that release a cloud of fine reflective metallic and ceramic particles. Although not dense enough to obscure visibility, any lasers fired into an anti-laser aerosol cloud are rendered useless.
One anti-laser aerosol grenade fills a 15 foot wide area and lasts for 1d6+1 rounds. Laser weapons fired into or through the cloud do only 1/4 damage and suffer a minus -5 to attack rolls. A strong wind will dissipate a cloud in about 2 rounds. PDC 12 for a box of 10. Vehicle countermeasure versions fill a 30 ft wide area but last only 1d4+1 rounds and cost PDC 13 for 10 uses.
Anybody here has any ideas of how to stat up the Prawn weapons of 'District 9' ?
One of them is obviously a Concussion Rifle (and is the only gun we cannot see if it's lethal or not-although it's mondo-effective), but the rest I haven't much of a clue.
Here are two rifles and a pistol I designed specifically for my campaign. They are simple, ballistic weapons based off the charge weapons of PL6
The 5N is the standard sidearm of the En-Sae military (when they choose to use firearms), and incorporates new, more powerful charge ammunition to improve the destructive potential of 9mm rounds, giving it the power of an assault rifle and the concealability of a machine pistol.
The ESB 38 has an attached Laser-Rangefinding scope with built in Blackout filters (see blackout goggles in Future Tech) and is used as the standard armament of special operations teams in Azralis.
The ESB 22SN is the sniper variant of the '38, sacrificing portability and an automatic setting for a much longer range. The Laser-rangefinding scope of the ESB rifles lends itself well to this weapon, allowing sniper teams to mark targets for the other members of the squad, granting almost pinpoint accuracy at extreme range.
Ammunition Gadget: Charge Ammunition
While I'm at it, here is a gadget that me and my party designed.
Grappler gun
The grappler gun employs compressed air to launch out up to 30 feet of Duracable (see d20 Future) with an attached grappler tag (also see d20 Future), which has a powerful reloading feature which is used to rewind the Duracable. This rewinding feature allows the duracable to be rewound with a full round action or alternatively can be used to pull up to 250lbs of gear towards the engaged grappler tag at a speed of 30 feet per round. The compressed air canister can be used to fire the gun up to 10 times before it needs reloading (canister is Purchase DC 5). The standard gun can carry 30 feet of ultralight duracable but a grappler gun can be modified to carry more cable. Modifying a grappler gun like this will, however, increase the weapon's size to large and require and increased storage compartment for the cable.
Well, that's some of my stuff.
EDIT: Yes, I do realise that the Charge Ammunition is very similar to the Devastator's plasma ammunition.
Whenever I hear about being able to make a more powerful handgun using a future gunpowder replacement, I am always looking at the example of just how power limitted handguns are using current tech.
Current Gunpowder Handgun Power vid
Obviously, the guy in that vid is suffering from a lack of perfomance due to the weakness of using just gunpowder in his pistol. (Note: that is not a 87lb 3rd Worlder, that is one big cornfed shootist)
Nice video. I appreciate that the gadget I added has little or no grounding in reality, but I was really only putting forward a gadget based on the Charge Pistol/Rifle in d20 Future Tech.
But while I'm here, these are some of the weapons from the game, Killzone.
Helghast Light Assault Rifle (LAR)
The first entries apply to the assault rifle itself, while the second refers to the underslung shotgun.
The Helghast LAR is the standard issue weapon of Helghast troops. Combining a high rate of fire and large ammunition stores and a final "desperate shot", the LAR makes for a reliable, cheap armament. The standard LAR also comes with a built in scope. This weapon has a three round burst setting.
Helghast Light Machinegun
The Helghast LMG is a heavy, relatively inaccurate bullet hose, generally used to swamp an area with bullets.
Helghast Sniper Rifle
The Helghast sniper rifle is a powerful, yet light armament accurate over long distances. This weapon comes with a scope.
Helghast Rocket Launcher
Less accurate and portable than the ISA equivalent, the Helghast make up for this with a larger blast radius and a 3 round capacity.
Squad Cannon
The Helghast squad cannon is a huge, long barreled monstrosity that fires volleys of large calibre, high explosive shells. This weapon can be used to fire single shots or two round bursts.
Machine Pistol
The Helghast machine pistol is a fairly standard machine pistol with short range. The most remarkable feature is the odd, front loading mechanism of the clip.
ISA Assault Rifle (with grenade launcher attachment)
The ISA assault rifle is an accurate, powerful assault rifle which features a three round burst setting, a scope and an underslung grenade launcher (use stats for M79).
Shadow Marshal SMG
The shadow marshal SMG is a great innovation in stealth technology, based of a standard 9mm SMG. The shadow marshal SMG has a built in silencer and nightvision scope. This weapon is easily used in one hand but is difficult to conceal, causing a -2 penalty on sleight of hand checks to conceal this weapon.
I might get to doing the rest when I can be bothered.
Doctor out.
Ammunition Gadget: Charge AmmunitionThis ammunition variant employs a new sort of chemical propellent, considerably more efficient than that employed by Information Age weapons. These new rounds increase the die of damage dealt by the ammunition by one step (d6 to d8 for example) and increase the range by 50%. This cannot be applied to ammunition that uses d12s (such as .50)Purchase DC modification: +2
PL5Frag4d620'1510'Tiny1 lb

PL7TurbochargeFrag4d1045'2020'Tiny1 lb
PL8SuperchargeFrag4d1260'2330'Tiny1 lb
Note: advanced Frags will have Throw Enhancing systems, such as the self powered Frisbee technique of PL7 or the Switchblade Wings and thrusters of PL8. Due to the AI nature of InertialGuidence, there is no scatter after the ToHit is rolled to see if you assigned the target to the grenade correctly.
I really like the obvious (I am ashamed to say it didn't occur to me) use of this propellent in frag grenades. I just hope this wasn't mocking me :P

Laser weapons fired into or through the cloud do only 1/4 damage and suffer a minus -5 to attack rolls. A strong wind will dissipate a cloud in about 2 rounds. PDC 12 for a box of 10. Vehicle countermeasure versions fill a 30 ft wide area but last only 1d4+1 rounds and cost PDC 13 for 10 uses.
A Laser grenade based on difusion saturation of the laser energy throughout a cloud of refractive liquid droplet fog, fully covering all surfaces exposed to the cloud with laser energy damage. The advantages of the laser grenade is the reduced audio footprint as well as a much safer weapon for the user: the laser doesnt leave the confines of the cloud so users dont have to worry about catching frags of their own grenades when thrown in the open. The reusable grenade shell is loaded with a LasePistol magazine and a special 2oz packet of FogJuice, both of which are completly expended when fired, and is reloadable.

The observers had been using a spell that gave them a fair degree of invisibility and another for protection. Unfortunately for them they were not thermally or magically stealthed. Dressed in their own specialized Ghillie Suits, the Company sharpshooters found Frank's observers rather easily. Unlike the two Pattern Ys dispatched by Agent Samuel Chase these creatures had their protective fields up. It would prove to be insufficient protection.
The sharpshooters were using Model S03 ammunition, more commonly known among Company personnel as Lead Flowers. These projectiles consist of two sections. Under a thin coating designed to prevent jamming were six metal segments. When the rotating slug hit a barrier these pieces of metal bent out revealing a high-density sabot-style dart at the core of the slug. The six high strength metal petals then drilled into the obstruction allowing the core to pass through.
The sharpshooters fired. The bullets hit the youma shields. For only instant, a section of the youma shields the size of a small nail failed, but it was enough.
The sabot core of the bullet separated from the outer sections and closed the remaining handful of inches. There the sabots hit the youma and blasted a surprisingly large cone of organic fragments out of the side opposite the sharpshooter. The other two youma met identical fates. The kills were confirmed, and the operation's next sequence activated.
The Lead Flower(ammuition type)
Fits any .50 callaber riffle, Ignores energy shield, technological or magical, to deal 1d12 damage.
What PL are the Lead Flower?
What is the limit on the technology that prevents them from being used in the larger 80/100/120/300/500 calibers(20mm-120mm shells)? I mean, I can see how its harder to make things small enough to fit a 7mm or 5mm, but it might even be easier to make them in the big boys like Arty & Tankguns first, then shrink it down to 50cal

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) - All five suspects accused of a robbery and rape at a Grand Rapids home are now in custody.
The final suspect, James Hodges Jr., 19, surrendered to police Friday afternoon.
Three other adult suspects were arraigned Friday at 61st District Court in Grand Rapids.
Detectives say Hodges, Dorian Jones, 20, Brandon Towns, 25, Rederick Melton, 20, and an unidentified 14 year old boy are accused of invading a house on Veto Street early Monday morning and beating, tying up and robbing a half dozen men. Investigators say the suspects also forced the only woman in the house into another room and sexually assaulted her -- one after the other.
Relatives of the suspects say the charges are unbelievable.
"It's crazy," says Joyce Streets, sister-in-law of Brandon Towns. "It's not his character. He is always happy, always fun and outgoing. He does stuff for people when they need it. He's very loving and generous. I can't see Brandon hurting somebody like that."
Police say the suspects attended a party in the residence earlier in the evening. After everyone was asleep investigators say they returned for the robbery.
Occupants of the house say two cell phones, a television, a computer and a wallet were stolen.
Because several of the suspects have previous felony convictions and the rape charge is a capital crime, some could be facing life in prison.
"He is innocent right now until proven guilty," says Alice Johnson, Rederick Melton's grandmother. "I pray he will find Jesus Christ if he did something like this. I have daughters and I wouldn't want anything like this to happen to my daughter."
To protect what she called the "safety of the community", District Court Judge Jeanine LaVille denied bond for the suspects she arraigned Friday. They must stay in jail while waiting for trial.

My Dear Sweet Loving Daughter #1 received a text from my WW and said, "I got a text from mom!". Since they are 40 cents a pop I said, "great lets hear it!". She then started reading it out loud to me and the jist of it was, "please delete the FaceTime accounts from the iPad and dad's phone because [OM] sent a message and he's not supposed to and dad will freak out so don't tell..." She stopped and said, "um I wasn't supposed to read this to you..." and then got really red in the face.
I then promised her that I would not "tell mom you told me" and that I would let her delete the FaceTime info from the iPad (which last year WW took with her to the foreign country competition FaceTiming OM) and my iPhone. I told her that mom was right that she should delete that message because I was concerned over their "too familiar friendship".
My DD#1 is 14, very wise and reads people very well, so she had long figured out my concern about my WW, no matter how hard I tried to hide it. Now she's being enlisted to cover tracks and that has got to stop.
My DD says that the text says my WW will tell me about the message when I get over to [foreign country] and to please not tell mom she messed up. I agreed to not tell her mom.
So, here I sit, looking forward to waiting a week so my wife MIGHT tell me that OM has made contact. Will she? I saw the beginning part of the message (the iPad had a password that DD#1 didn't have and as soon as I entered it the first part of the message popped up). It was of a very familiar tone. Sort of like, "Greetings to you in [foreign country]!! I hope..." That is not the first text you might send after WW sent a no contact message two months ago.
So, I suspect that the message was not the first message sent. I believe that they have been in contact for some time. My questions are:
1) Does FaceTime have a group text function? If so it may explain quite a bit. It's very unlikely that he would text the entire music group.
2) My DD texted back to my WW that it was "done". Will WW still inform me of the breach of NC by OM?
3) If she does tell me, I will need to follow up with, "why did he feel he would be well received texting you? Show me the text. Why did you get DD#1 involved? Why didn't you just immediately call me?" Then I probably need to call the OM and see WTF he was thinking.
4) If she doesn't tell me when I see her, I guess that would be a complete failure of NC, and that means the affair never ended.
I think the most likely outcome is that she has been in contact by some other means and that the OM just screwed up and thought that FaceTime would be a secure method to contact with her out of town. I believe she has not ended contact and that the EA is ongoing.
Crap! I thought I was getting out of the woods here. I thought I was in the Reconcile Forum, but maybe I need to go clear back to Just Found Out. This is like Deja vu all over again as this is how DDay was almost 1 year ago this week.
"please delete the FaceTime accounts from the iPad and dad's phone because [OM] sent a message and he's not supposed to and dad will freak out so don't tell..."
I told her that mom was right that she should delete that message because I was concerned over their "too familiar friendship".
To answer your questions:
1) Don't know anything about FaceTime.
2) Will your WW inform you of the contact? Dunno.
3) No. You do not just *sit* on this and only address it if your WW happens to bring it up. And do NOT bother to contact the OM about the contact. This is an issue that is between you and your WW and has to do with her choice in how the contact was handled.
TBH, I don't know that I would sit on this and just *wait* to see what your WW does when you get to the foreign country.....but I'm a hothead when it comes to my kids and I would be hella pissed if my stbx told my child to jack my phone to erase evidence of his wrongdoing.
OM just screwed up and thought that FaceTime would be a secure method to contact with her out of town.
I thought I was in the Reconcile Forum, but maybe I need to go clear back to Just Found Out. This is like Deja vu all over again as this is how DDay was almost 1 year ago this week.
In my effort to be *concise*, I often come off as blunt and harsh. Sorry, don't mean to be offensive.
Thank you for your response!
Wrong answer. Mom is NOT right. You just sent your DD the message that it is the *reaction* to the wrongdoing that is the problem and not the wrongdoing itself. You are complicit in teaching your DD that *hiding* things is *right*.
I don't have access to my wife's text to my DD or the text from the OM. But I do remember (through the 5 glasses of wine) that she told my DD:
1) She was blocking OM messages and that channels for him to communicate should be deleted
2) She would talk with me about it in a few days
3) Don't let me see it now as it would "freek me out"
So as far as covering, it is a temporary thing to allow her to address the issue in person. Fortune has given me the opportunity to give her the chance to "come clean" and follow NC. If she does, there are more questions. If she doesn't, then there are no more question--she is cheating again.
My DD views my WW and I as:
Mom has issues with dad, dad has issues with mom. Mom's issues involve money and investing. Dad's issues involve mom's friendship with another man that has gotten dad jealous and upset.
The other 4 children are oblivious, but just know that mom and dad disagree sometimes.
I would rather throw myself under the bus than to drag them into this hopefully temporary disagreement. I will not have them used as pawns. My wife doesn't seem to follow those rules of engagement, however.
I'm furious that she would do this to your daughter. It's disgusting and she's fd in the head for thinking it was acceptable. You must protect your children from her and her manipulations. What else is she willing to do?
Don't make excuses for her on this one. There is no excuse.
My Dear Sweet Loving Daughter #1 received a text from my WW and said, "I got a text from mom!". Since they are 40 cents a pop I said, "great lets hear it!". She then started reading it out loud to me and the jist of it was, "please delete the FaceTime accounts from the iPad and dad's phone because [OM] sent a message and he's not supposed to and dad will freak out so don't tell..." She stopped and said, "um I wasn't supposed to read this to you..." and then got really red in the face.
Dear Lord, help us all.
This is a next level I hope never to attain...where my wife asks one of my daughters to lie for her so that she can choose adultery.
A strong word of caution here, from a man who is not a professional but has read numerous books on infidelity and parenting (daughters specifically as I have 2).
Don't ask your daughter to lie for you....not even to have her keep a secret as small as "Keep this quiet, but I am bringing Mom flowers home with me from work tonight". It really f's with there core values. It also puts their young developing minds at risk of being warped.
Not sure of DD#1 age...but am assuming it is in the formative range....10-19 years old.
Don't wait for your wife to bring this to you. It sucks, but now is not the time for game playing....this is serious shit that needs to be addressed head on. It will be painful, expect denial and attacks from her. Do your dead level best to express your feelings and then stop. try to endure the song and dance she will perform for you in response to being discovered again. I have had to practice what I am preaching to you now more than I care to admit....when I DO succeed, it results in growth. When i don't, it hurts like hell. This. IS. TOUGH. SHIT.
Since my wifes affair I keep hearing that country song with the lyric "she's always dancing while I am stuck paying the band".
Its not fair what you are being asked to do....you must step up and parent even though parts of you want to engage at a primal level right now. Your wife is not considering your daughters feelings right now....but you MUST. Your wife is getting her kibbles and needs met, not in healthy ways but in medicated ways.....yours are being left unmet. She is attempting to reap before she sows. You must sow before you reap. Its not fair, but it is the right thing to do. You know this. You are a part of that same broken M and yet you have not chosen adultery. Keep going.
If ever you doubted that affairs were about anyone but the one, singular person saying "yes" to it...really examine what just happened. Your wife just choose another man not just over you but her innocent daughter. Actually USING your daughter to engage in adultery. My wife used our family dog...and that is tough enough for me to process....
And its not about his sexual prowess, or his rugged chin (in my wifes case, his double chin). it is about your wifes selfish, wanton desires. Desires for which she has no stomach to work and have them fullfilled within your marriage but is instead choosing the fast and easy path to a mirage of that fullfillment.
Waywards choose adultery not as a singular, stand alone choice...but it is rather a fruit picked from a long pattern of sowing and tending. There are more fruit like that to be picked other than this one musician friend. My wife found it in a gradeschool lunch room. A friend of ours found it in on a FB connection. Another guy I know finds it weekly on AshleyMadison.com.
Amazing how easy it is to find "soul mates" when you don't really care about the other person, isn't it?
Adultery, like all sin, is singularly selfish at its core.
I dread the day when our girls discover my wifes affair. I pray this happens ONLY after they are old enough to have a discussion about it.
I really pray we never have to have that discussion with them........
Post often. We got your back.
God is with us all.

I mean you took the bullet for her but I don't see how that helps protect the child. She's 14: she's got to know and are you willing to look like the guy that freaks over nothing (according to ws).
I am so the not freak out type and DD#1 knows that. The only thing that upsets me is when my children are mean to each other.
I soooooo need to know my wife's intentions. In the long run, that's what really matters, right?
If she comes clean and gives me good answers, then we're still on track, still reconciling, still moving in the right direction, still in MC.
If she doesn't mention it then it's a whole new world. She is still having an EA and in direct conflict of our agreement and our MC direct admonition to DELETE him. Well she's telling DD#1 to delete him, but how the hell did he get there with that attitude?
Regarding DD#1, if I were her, I could understand or get a jealous and over protective dad. Makes sense.
What would rock my world is a mom that would have an affair with another man. So, I'm a jealous and over protective dad -- that's my play and I sticking to it.
If she comes clean and gives me good answers, then we're still on track, still reconciling, still moving in the right direction, still in MC.
(not to mention that the brief amount of contact you saw indicated that NC has NOT been established.....)
Please don't be my Dad. Please don't continue to lie to your daughter, minimize what your wife is doing (and making your daughter lie to you for her is hugely fucked up, regardless of her stated intention to tell you) and please don't bury your head in the sand. This is an absolutely terrible example.

My Affair: 2015
Status: trying to pick up the pieces.
I'm sorry, Man, but this scenario is rotten.
So Sorry you are in this place!
yes, of course, weakness and dishonesty. your WW tells your daughter to lie, you tell your daughter to lie, and you wait and pretend you don't know (also a lie) to see if your WW will lie to you.
see the problem?
how do you correct it? you start telling the truth.
tell your daughter that you made a mistake. that you aren't going to lie or ask her to lie. tell her that it was a mistake that you found out but that she shouldn't keep secrets from one parent to another. then call your WW and tell her what happened. And then ask her not to involve your children in schemes anymore. don't get upset. don't accuse your WW of anything. just tell her you think it's damaging to the kids to do things like that. tell her you will discuss it when you get there.
see? be honest. always. life is simpler.
then see how she reacts.

DDay 1/15/2013
Take it from someone who's Mom was cheating on his Dad when he was your daughter's age, the amount of lying and hiding going on in your house is causing lifelong damage right now. She doesn't think that you are jealous because Mom is friends with some guy, she knows you're being cheated on and she doesn't know why you're not sticking up for yourself.
As best I can tell she believes my wife's side of the story which is she has an acquaintance that I am overly protective over. Her mom has decided to end the acquaintance because it concerns me and that WW would never cheat on me and her mom loves me very much.
I feel terrible not telling her the full truth, but that's the best I can do right now. This latest is killing me. DD has got to have all sorts of questions right now. This is her second week of high school and this gets dumped on her head.
You're dragging your daughter right along and being a role model of dysfunction. You've made her a pawn, too, by asking her not to say anything to Mom, just play dumb along with me, send that message "done" so Mom doesn't know that I know.
DD asked me to not tell mom she read the text out loud. I said OK. DD decided to send the text "done". I did not ask her to lie, my DD asked me not to embarrass her to her mom.
I sat down with her and said that lies are damaging to a marriage and it is best to tell the truth. I told her that some things are best explained in person, and that mom felt it would be best to do that in this case and that I am sure we would have a good talk about it in [foreign country] so that I don't have to worry.
I can't say that I don't do lies -- I've done some. But, my memory is not good enough to keep track of lies, so I just stay away from it. Sometimes I don't tell the full truth or keep my mouth shut when I don't have the full story. White lies have a way of becoming gray lies and that leads to a very awkward position eventually. The truth is way easier to remember, so that's what I always try to stick with.
You all have very good points that this is f'd up. It is. I can't imagine getting myself into a position where I have to call or text from overseas to my DD to cover my tracks. That's what lies get you--backed into a corner with nowhere to go but stepping on those you love.
You have now handed her all the power to make up whatever she wants because you chose not to read all the information available to you. The only reason I can think of that you didn't, and I mean REAL reason, is you are too scared to really see the truth of it. I don't know what the truth is but I'm not sure why you have decided that if she decides to tell you as she promised your dd, that she is going to tell you the whole truth.
Ouch. I think you're right--I am scared. I don't want to pull on this string to see where it leads, but I need to.
I hope to recover the data with RecoverIt forensic data recovery (by BrickHouse).
But at that moment, I had to decide whether I was going to take my DD's innocent mistake in reading the text out loud and use it to extract data about my wife's infidelity right in front of her. To let her know that I was so concerned about my wife's behavior that I would defeat DD in her efforts to obey my wife's request. This was lose-lose-lose at it's finest.
She could have used that incident to trust you not to freak out and prove she is being open and honest from this moment forward. As a BW I can't think of ANY reason a WS should pass up that opportunity! And I personally couldn't overlook it and return to moving forward bliss!
If WW had texted me or called me immediately, it would have been so much better in so many ways. My only thought for her NOT doing that is that the message shows she has still been in contact and that the EA is still ongoing.
When I read this thread that's what I see you doing. You're setting up every possible condition & excuse to make what your WW did not be as bad as it plainly is. You're dragging your daughter right along and being a role model of dysfunction. You've made her a pawn, too, by asking her not to say anything to Mom, just play dumb along with me, send that message "done" so Mom doesn't know that I know.
I do make it a point to give people the absolute benefit of the doubt. It's a decision I have made and there is a price (and a reward) for it.
I guess I am in bargaining -- I'll read up on it--thanks! But, I have not asked my DD to lie. I have let her complete her task of deleting the message and being truthful to her mom. I did not ask DD to withhold information, but it seems to have worked out that way.
Thanks again for all of your excellent thoughts.
She was blocking OM messages and that channels for him to communicate should be deleted
You just cannot get this guy out of your life can you.
Where is this OM right now, is he in this other country with them, since he is involved in the music aspect of this.
Didn't this OM write you and tell you that he would avoid your wife completely now that he had this new job in town with the music teaching.
Also, isn't this OM afraid you could ruin his wonderful new job with music teaching and all of the other parents.
The problem here is that NO ONE seems to take you seriously, not your wife, and not this OM.
Start considering how to make this jackass take you seriously. Think about discussing this OM with the school and other parent.
Wait and see what your wife has to say, but I don't think it will matter anymore, you have heard her say a great many things over the past year and this OM.
And I don't know how much more of their nonsense you can take. You need to get this OM out of your life.
As best I can tell she believes my wife's side of the story which is she has an acquaintance that I am overly protective over.
I suppose that's possible, but I doubt it. Kids know a lot more than you think and they tend to have pretty finely tuned bullshit detectors. I remember that being a terrible place to be when I was a kid: I didn't want to be "responsible" for my parents getting a divorce by telling my Dad to open his fucking eyes but I really wanted him to do something about it at the same time. I just played like I didn't like my Mom's "friend" and spent as much time away from the house as I could.
I happen to think the damage to your daughter is the worst part of this situation.
Your daughter just learned some VERY valuable lessons:
1) It's OK to lie to your spouse and life partner if you can make it look like you are "protecting" them.
2) Don't EVER let your guard down around Dad because you might 'Slip' up and say something that Mom doesn't want Dad to know. Better to just stop communicating at a deeper level with Dad.
3) Delete all your texts so Dad doesn't accidentally read them and then you will be responsible for Mom and Dad breaking up the family.
4) If mom finds out Dad heard about the text then they will fight. If they break up it will be MY fault.
5) Lying is a great way to make sure the other people don't worry about you or get upset if you do something wrong. When I screw up as a teenager it will be OK if I just MAKE SURE Mom and Dad never find out.
6) There is nothing wrong with having a close male friend when I get married as long as I keep all evidence away from my husband.
7) It will be OK if I ever need to enlist my siblings to LIE for me when I'm an older teenager because Mom did it so why would that be wrong?
I could go on and on. I take parenting very seriously and I see so many problems with this ONE little situation. So much damage all the way around.
My suggestion would be that the next time you catch wind of your wife using your daughter as her cover up and confidante you wait before promising anything. If you had told your daughter when she started reading that text "Whoa. Parents do not ask their kids to lie or cover up. Let's think About this for a bit before making any decision". Then your daughter could have simply said "Hey Mom, I started reading the text out loud so dad knows what you wrote - I didn't know you were going to ask me to lie to my own dad" Then this would be out in the open and could be dealt with honestly. You could still talk to your daughter about using this approach that way if it ever came out that you already knew, your dd wouldn't be blamed.
I'll be sending positive vibes for you to work this out while still honoring your child and helping to mold her into a beautiful, confident, honest woman.

Sooners eager to firm up defense for Bedlam against OSU Cowboys
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops says his team's defense must improve considerably before the Sooners host No. 22 Oklahoma State.
Stoops said Monday that No. 14 Oklahoma missed 20 tackles in a wild 50-49 win at West Virginia over the weekend. All those missed tackles allowed West Virginia's Tavon Austin to rush for 344 yards, more than any other player against the Sooners in Oklahoma history.
Oklahoma State (7-3, 5-2 Big 12) uses an offensive philosophy similar to that of West Virginia and the Cowboys feature the conference's leading rusher in Joseph Randle.
On the positive side for Oklahoma (8-2, 6-1), quarterback Landry Jones earned Big 12 offensive player of the week honors after passing for a school-record 554 yards and six touchdowns in the win.

There have been three fires in northeast Harris County in less than two weeks and fire investigators are calling them "suspicious." Buildings are being torched in Kingslake Forest, and investigators say they could possibly be the work on a serial arsonist.
The most recent fire happened earlier this week. A neighbor spotted it early that morning, so the fire didn't have time to spread throughout the house.
But on Sunday, another house was gutted by a fire that wasn't spotted in time. And last week, an old leasing office was destroyed.
The buildings were all vacant and in the same neighborhood. Investigators believe the fires could have been intentionally set.
"They're all within about a half-mile radius so it appears somebody on foot is going into these buildings and setting a fire. At this point there's no indication they're using any type of accelerant, they're just using materials at hand," said Scott Schoonover, investigator with the Harris County Fire Marshal's Office.
Rodney Washington lives across the street from the house that burned on Sunday.
He is hoping the suspicion of it being the work of an arsonist is not true, fearing he could be a victim.
"It don't take nothing but a match and some gas to even set a house that's occupied," Washington said.
Fire marshals questioned a homeless man seen coming out of one of the houses this week. He allegedly admitted to stealing copper wiring, but isn't considered a suspect in the arsons.
Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for information leading to an arrest. Tips can be called in anonymously to 713-222-TIPS.

CSU Attempts To Avoid Lawsuits After Lab Fire
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CBS4) – The vet school at Colorado State University is offering a credit to horse owners and breeders if they don't sue after a fire, according to a new report.
A fire last summer at the Foothills Campus heavily damaged the school's equine reproduction lab.
University officials told the Coloradoan newspaper that the owners and breeders were told they needed to have their own insurance on frozen sperm, eggs and embryos and that the university was merely storing the material for them.
That fire caused at least $12 million dollars in damage to the lab. The value of the lost genetic material isn't known.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was not been able to figure out the cause of the fire and closed their investigation.
No one was hurt in the fire.

Prohormones are largely beginning to fill the void that steroids left upon being banned. However, every bodybuilder knows that pro-hormones aren't as effective as their steroidal relatives. And yet, Sterodrol makers promise that it can give you the results of steroids using legal pro-hormones.
Another product that gives users great results is Syntheroid. The ingredients that Syntheroid uses are different than Sterodrol's; but as long as Sterodrol uses clinically proven ingredients, it could be as effective as Syntheroid.
The basis for Sterodrol's formula is the extract from the T. Alatus Del fruit. This phyto-hormone helps promote the production of testosterone in the body.
T. Alatus Del alongside Indian ginseng (Physalis somnifera) are a potent combination to maximize testosterone production. Physalis somnifera also has several health benefits the way normal Chinese ginseng does.
However, Sterodrol also functions as an aromatase inhibitor in several ways with the herbs Reynoutria japonica and Urtica galeopsifolia. These maximize the effectiveness of testosterone by preventing it from being turned into estrogen, blocking estrogen receptors and binding to the testosterone-killing enzyme, SHBG (Sex Hormone binding Globulin).
Sterodrol is topped off with Hebanthe paniculata a hormonal balancer and Maxsoption, a black pepper extract that maximizes the bioavailability of all of the other ingredients.
Sterodrol has a pretty balanced formula that covers all the bases. By functioning as both a testosterone booster and an aromatase inhibitor, it should deliver phenomenal results.
And because it covers all its bases, you won't need to take it with other supplements. Gone will be the days of the creatine/protein/test-booster/aromatase-inhibitor/etc.
It also works fast. And with all of the ingredients included on the label (in their proper amounts) you know you aren't getting cheated.
One of the biggest cons that we've seen is that bodybuilders and weightlifters that have used it were not impressed with results. For a steroid alternative, it didn't deliver what they wanted.
At the same time, Sterodrol still has the side effects of a full steroid. Acne, irritableness and a decrease in sex drive (even with the increase in testosterone) have all been reported.
With that in mind, it can still cause you to test positive on steroid tests. For all of its hoopla about being legal, it can still get you in trouble.
Our Recommendation
If users like a product then we like it. The truth about Sterodrol is that a good number of users weren't satisfied with the results they did or did not get from it. Then there is a product like Syntheroid.
Not only does it have a powerful formula of clinically proven, patented ingredients, Syntheroid also receives a lot of positive feedback from users. When you buy Syntheroid from the official retailer, you can get it for a reduced price and with a 100% money back guarantee.
We recommend that you try Syntheroid because we think you'll get better results from it.

You will likely get more community replies but I just want to say that your post brings up an inportant point and that is you know your body better than anyone else so if you feel that you are not being helped by your doctor or your complaints are being dismissed then it's time to seek a second opinion from another health care professional.

We are thrilled to share with you some changes that have been made to WebMD Health Exchange due to some of the wonderful feedback you all have given us.
First of all, you'll notice that we've changed the top of the What's Happening Now page so that See All Discussions, Tips, and Resources are right at your fingertips. These links will take you to our index pages, which read much more like our old message boards. We've also made our posting button at the top larger, and it drops down so you can choose which type of content you want to post.
You'll also notice that we've added some more spacing to the posts themselves, making them less bunched up and easier to read.
AND, we've increased the posts per page from 15 to 30.
Along with that, you'll see that now when you respond to another member's post, it will say Member_1 replied to Member_2's response. If you click on the word "response" you'll be taken back to the original post you responded to so that you can continue reading the thread from there.
When we launched, the option to add a member story on the WebMD Moderated Exchanges was left off. That has been added back in, and you can begin crafting your stories now!
You should also begin to notice that it isn't taking quite as long for your messages to show up. The problem has not gone away completely. Our tech folks are still working on a final fix. However, you should only have to wait 60 seconds or less to see your post appear on the What's Happening Now feed. If you're posting from the See All Discussions or any other index page, your post should show up immediately.
We also fixed a defect that was frustrating many of our members. After you joined an Exchange, created your member story, and then voted on a poll you would often be unjoined from the Exchange and your member story would disappear. This issue has been resolved, and you should now remain joined to the Exchange after voting on a poll.
We hope you enjoy these changes. You've given us some great feedback. We're listening, and these are just the first of the fixes and additions to come. Our tech team is already working on several more changes based on your suggestions and comments.
Please keep writing to let us know what you like, what you don't, and share your suggestions for the future.
Yours in Health,
The WebMD Health Exchange StaffView Thread
I'll start by saying that I know everyone would like the old boards back, but they are no longer available. And honestly, they were not working well anymore, which was why we needed to implement something new.
We want to make the reading and interacting on the new forums less confusing, and in order to do that we need you to tell us exactly what you find the hardest to do. Give us as many concrete details as you can.
- Is it hard to read because your board/conversations move too fast?
- Is it because the What's Happening Now feed only shows what's new?
- Is it because you can only see 15 posts at a time on the What's Happening Now page?
- Is the page too cluttered?
Tell us exactly what makes it hard or confusing and how you'd like it to behave.
We will pass all of your comments and suggestions along to our engineering and management teams and keep you informed about what changes are coming.
Take care,
