Occupy Wall Street: Legal Information
If you are participating in actions on or following September 17 related to Occupy Wall Street, you might want to familiarize yourself with the following legal information:
Download this document to print and circulate (PDF)
If you receive a phone call from the Intelligence Division of the Police Department asking for information about September 17, you are not required to answer them. It is recommended that you arrive to Wall Street with legal contact information written on your wrist or ankle; there is no guarantee that information written on paper will be accessible in the event of arrest.
During the Occupation
Provided that you do not block building entrances or more than half of a sidewalk, it is legal
to have a moving picket line and hand out literature. You are also legally allowed to use whistles, drums, and any other non-amplified generators of sound. Unless a permit is obtained, it is unlawful to march in the streets, have a procession with 50 or more automobiles or bicycles, gather with more than 20 people in a public park, or use amplified sound. Public parks close at 10 PM. A permit is not being requested for the occupation. According to the New York Civil Liberties Union, amplified sound is prohibited "within 500 feet of a school, courthouse or church during hours of school court or worship, or within 500 feet of a hospital… [and] between 10 p.m. and 9 a.m. in nonresidential areas."
It is illegal for more than two people to wear masks, including bandanas, during a demonstration. The New York City Police Department will take away any signs that use wooden sticks, metal, or PVC pipes, as well as any signs that are affixed to public property. Hanging a banner from a bridge can lead to being charged with reckless endangerment.
You are allowed to sleep on the sidewalk as part of a political protest without a permit (Met Council v. NYPD, 2000); however, you must keep half of the sidewalk clear for pedestrians. It is unlawful for structures such as tents to be erected.
If You Come into Contact with the Police During the action, if police prevent you from leaving, ask if you are free to go. If they ask to search you or your bag, you should repeatedly state, "I do not consent to a search." The New York City chapter of the National Lawyers Guild advises that if you are arrested, it is best to say, "I am going to remain silent. I want to speak to a lawyer." The police can legally lie when attempting to acquire information from you. You have the right to ask for an officer's name and badge number. If you are mistreated, obtain this information as well as contact information of witnesses. If you are injured, take photographs of the injuries as soon as possible. Lastly, the National Lawyers Guild states, "If you are undocumented, out of status, a legal permanent resident (green card holder), or a citizen, you do not have to answer any questions about your immigration history [to government officers]."

MSNBC: Lawrence O'Donnell on Wall Street police brutality
Powerful words, albeit an unfortunate distraction from the aim of the protests, which are meant to draw attention not to the crimes of police, but to those of the much bigger bullies in the financial sector, who are once again getting away unpunished and unobserved:
What is Your One Demand?
Propose and vote for your demand.
The Sovereign People's Movement, represented nationally through the people occupying the various Liberty Square locations across this great country, have laid out and democratically submitted and are currently voting on the list of following Demands to then be distilled into one Unified Common demand of the people.
Gene Sharp's "Methods of nonviolent protests and persuasion"
Gene Sharp is Professor Emeritus of political science at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. He is known for his extensive writings on nonviolent struggle, which have influenced numerous anti-government resistance movements around the world. Over the past four decades, revolutionaries from Belgrade to Tehran have cited Sharp's work as a key tool in their struggles. His writings on nonviolent strategy have been translated into 40 languages. All are freely accessible on the website of the Albert Einstein Institution, a nonprofit Sharp founded in 1983 "to advance the worldwide study and strategic use of nonviolent action."
"How to start a revolution" is a documentary following the life and work of Gene Sharp. For more read the "Lessons from the Godfather: Interview with Gene Sharp".

Ottawa's Chris Neil is not expected to face discipline for Saturday night's open-ice hit on Brian Boyle. The NHL has not scheduled a hearing for Neil by this afternoon.
Although the league has not released a decision, a hearing would likely have been scheduled by now if Neil were to face discipline prior to Game 6.
After Game 5, John Tortorella said it was "the exact same play as Torres," referencing Phoenix's Raffi Torres, who was hit with a 25-game suspension for his hit on Chicago's Marian Hossa this week. Tortorella went on to say it was a "dangerous, dangerous, cheap hit," and that the league had a blueprint for how to respond to a hit.
The coach was tight-lipped at Sunday's practice. He declined further comment on Neil, or the league's apparent decision to allow him to play Game 6.
Boyle was not among the 11 Rangers who participated in today's workout at the MSG Training Center in Greenburgh. Tortorella said Saturday night that Boyle was "concussed. He's out."
When asked if Boyle would fly to Ottawa with the team tonight, Tortorella said simply "don't know."
I'll have post-practice interviews with Carl Hagelin and Chris Kreider and a few more nuggets posted shortly.

"Our "Bridal Brunch" invitations are absolutely perfect. I got just the right look I was going for, and have received many compliments from the invited guests."
"Did the color in navy. Changed the script to a different font. Design service was awesome as had a concern about a font I had originally picked for the registry line..they gave me 2 proofs and did great job. Would totally recommend this site!! Responded quickly!"
"I had many complements on our invitation; it was fun & different, but still classy. The quality was very good! The design on the back of the invitation was cute. I expedited my order and received it as promised. We will definitely be ordering more of these types of cards for future family events. Can't wait to see my rehearsal dinner invites!"
"I am hosting a bridal shower in a local pub and this invitation was perfect for the occasion. The design team handled all my changes easily. I removed the times from the two circles because I thought it was confusing. I added the registry and hostesses names to the back side. I chose the pearl shimmer finish with regular corners. It turned out perfectly. Utilize the designer review and you can't go wrong."
"Personalization was simple. With a quick comment in regards to changing some of the text, I was contacted right away and everything was perfect. This invitation was everything that I was looking for and depicts pure sophistication and class!"

Democrat Gregg D. Fritchle, a social worker who finished last when he ran for Walnut City Council, is trying to unseat Republican Assemblyman Curt Hagman in the 55th Assembly District.
Hagman, of Chino Hills, currently represents the 60th Assembly District. During the redistricting process, he was redrawn into the 55th Assembly District.
The new 55th is similar to the 60th, spanning parts of Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties and including the cities of Rowland Heights, Diamond Bar, Walnut and Chino Hills.
Hagman said he will continue to fight against excessive taxes and burdensome regulations.
"Job creation and economic recovery need to be the top priority," he said.
Fritchle, who made two unsuccessful runs for the Walnut City Council in the early 2000s, said the state needs realistic solutions to address its deficit, including a severance tax for oil drilling.
"(Hagman) is basically walking in lockstep with all the other legislators in his party saying we are not going to let any tax increase on anybody," Fritchle said. "But what he doesn't tell anybody in California is there are really some gross inequities in parts of the tax system."
Political observers don't give Fritchle much hope.
Allan Hoffenblum, a former GOP political consultant and publisher of the "California Target Book," a nonpartisan guide that handicaps the different races, called it a safe Republican seat.
"(Fritchle) is a social worker who ran for Walnut City Council and came in last of eight candidates with 3 percent of the vote," Hoffenblum said.
The district is 41 percent Republican, 31 percent Democratic and 23 percent no party preference.
Hagman reported campaign contributions of $229,790 and expenditures of $156,482 for the period from Jan. 1 to Sept.30.
Fritchle had not reported contributions or expenditures under the most recent campaign finance reports.

The majestic Bunya Mountains, situated about 150 kilometres from the coast, is a spectacular wilderness range forming an isolated section of the Great Dividing Range. The immense subtropical range of cool, green rainforest, eucalypt forests and woodlands is home to the world's largest forest of bunya pines. Native wildlife, wallabies and pademelons as well as 121 species of birds including brilliantly coloured king parrots, satin bowerbirds and crimson rosellas, call this area home.
The range features panoramic mountain scenery and breathtaking views over the South Burnett region and southern plains. Nights are alive with the sounds of the nocturnal creatures and a myriad of stars, while mornings have a fresh, crisp and clean mountain quality.
Aboriginal people historically used the Bunya Mountains as a meeting place for the various tribes scattered throughout Queensland and New South Wales. They feasted seasonally on the bunya nuts collected from the bunya pine trees (Araucaria bidwillii).
The Bunya Mountains offer the quiet allure of a retreat environment favoured by families, groups and honeymooners alike. The Bunya Mountains are pristine, peaceful and spectacular, less than three hours from Brisbane and the Fraser Coast and approximately one hour from Kingaroy, Nanango or Dalby.

SOUTH Essex Gym Club's Brinn Bevan and Jay Thompson overcame a nervy finish to help Great Britain's junior squad win team gold at the European Championships in Bulgaria yesterday.
The gold was Britain's fourth in succession but it came after Thompson and team-mate Joe Fraser both fell off the pommel horse in the final round of competition.
But Britain's nearest rivals — Russia — could not take advantage of the errors, as GB came out on top with 254.094 points.
Bevan, who is from Thundersley, will now be gunning for more medals having made the final in all apparatus.
Thompson, who trains in Basildon with Bevan and double Olympic bronze medalist Max Whitlock, also qualified for finals in the floor, vault and high bars.
Whitlock will be in action over the weekend in the men's team and individual competitions.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Some men and women who have put everything on the line to fight for our country say they now feel betrayed by the country they were sworn to protect.
A study just released by the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans shows that more than half the men and women returning from Iraq will be homeless for at least two years.
Robert Brown, a 13-year veteran of three different branches of the military, is one of more than 100,000 homeless veterans in America. He says he feels like coming home was the biggest battle he's faced.
"I feel betrayed," Brown said.
Brown said his wife left him during his deployment, so he had no home to return to. He said it took him nearly a year to get his disability check, and he would lose his benefits if he got a job.
Brown said a program called the Veterans Farm -- a place that rehabilitates veterans through farming -- was his saving grace. But Brown said he knows plenty of guys who weren't so lucky, and many of them are living on the street.
As the Iraq War winds down and more troops are returning home, it's a growing problem for the Department of Veterans Affairs. After California, Florida has the second-highest population of homeless veterans. Many of those are in Jacksonville, a city with the third-highest military population in the nation.
While nearly half of homeless veterans are from the Vietnam War, the VA estimates that there are at least 3,700 who spent time serving in operations in or around Iraq were in its homeless outreach programs as of last year.
In anticipation of growing numbers of veterans in need of service, the Sulzbacher Center is trying to add a second floor dedicated strictly to veterans.
"The veterans are coming back. They're not getting the mental health help they need," said Cindy Funkhouser, of the Sulzbacher Center. "They medicate and then they are on the street."

Steven L. Sayers, PhD
Steven L. Sayers, Ph.D., has been a couple and family clinician and researcher for over 20 years. He has been involved in the training of psychology graduate students and psychiatry residents in couple and family intervention. His practice has focused on helping couples and families who struggle with mental and physical health problems. He is available to see families with these struggles at the Center for Couples and Adult Families and also supervises clinicians receiving advanced training.
Dr. Sayers received his clinical and research training at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, NC. His earliest research work was conducted in families in which one member of the family had a major mental illness, in order to examine the how this might affect family relationships. More recent work has focused on the impact of close relationships (family members and friends) on heart failure in older adults. His current research focus is the impact of post-traumatic stress and depression on family reintegration of military service members deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Dr. Sayers is currently Associate Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. At the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center he is Director of the Advanced Fellowship Program in Mental Illness Research and Treatment. He also directs the national VA call center for family members concerned about the Veteran in their lives called Coaching Into Care (www.va.gov/coachingintocare). In 2008 he presented testimony to the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs regarding his research with veterans and their family members.

"This was delivered quickly with the highest quality paper! The design was fantastic and was exactly what we wanted. This simple yet classy save the date is sure to impress our guest."
"I used my own design for save the date magnets and was so happy with the outcome through Wedding Paper Divas. I had to call customer service a few times to speak with a customer service rep since everything wasn't fitting in the designated design area. They were more than accommodating and set me up with a designer in order to see a proof before ordering. Loved the outcome!!"
"Hey! This was an awesome way to tell our friends and loved ones about our special day. Wedding Paper Divas has some truly beautiful designs and options, though we decided to make our own and use one of the simple and chic postcard layouts. The site is so intuitive and the product high quality! The proofing process I thought would be a hassle, especially since I had made a mistake in the design, but it proved to be swift. I felt cared for and really enjoyed the process. Thank you for your attention to detail, great design sense, and making me feel like a real diva. ;)"
"All the text on the card was customizable, and the person I wrote to back and forth was helpful and quick to respond. The paper was good quality and all my guests thought the idea of a library card was really cute to tell our story."
"Fell in love all over again! Our save the dates came out perfect. Perfect quality, services, & pricing! Would definitely recommend to everyone!"

Frequent readers of my Sustainable IT blog may have noticed a recurring them in my posts over the past three years: Much of green IT's success depends heavily on making the most out of your resources, whether you're talking about servers and PCs, CRAC units and power supplies, or watts of electricity and gallons of fuels. Cliché though they may be, adages such as "Waste not, want not" and "Do more with less" summarize the case for green IT pretty well.
Consider, for example, the numerous data center operators who have grappled with limited floor space, a tight budget, and limited amount of available power. Rather than spending valuable time and piles of ducats on an expansion or a new facility, many of these organizations have embraced green tech -- virtualization, application mapping, power management, free cooling, and more -- to make better use of what they had. The end result has been significant savings, freeing up resources for other business-critical projects.
[ Discover the bright and dark sides to EPA's energy star for data centers. | Stay tuned to green-tech developments via InfoWorld's Green IT topic center. ]
Sustainable technology has proven its cost-saving value in areas beyond the data center as well. On the desktop, companies are saving thousands of dollars cutting electricity waste with PC power management and thin clients or desktop virtualization. At the printer station and in the copy room, organizations are reaping huge savings with print management to slash paper and ink waste. Teleconferencing, videoconferencing, and other real-time collaboration tools are helping companies cut (or eliminate) the time and expense associated with travel.
Meanwhile, out on city streets and highways, companies are applying technologies such as optimization software and GPS to streamline their supply chains and reduce gasoline consumption and wear and tear on vehicles. These various applications all boil down to reaping savings by using resources as efficiently as possible.
I'm using these examples of organizations using resources efficiently as a segue way to announce that this will be the final regularly scheduled weekly installment of InfoWorld's Sustainable IT blog. Although InfoWorld recognizes the importance of green IT, we've determined that there a better ways to make use of a specific human resource -- that is, yours truly. Instead of dedicating much of my time to tracking all things green on a weekly basis, I'll cover the topic less frequently while devoting more time to other editorial tasks, such as spending more time with Test Center reviews.
I want to stress that InfoWorld does regard green IT as an important topic that warrants ongoing coverage. Companies of all sizes will continue to struggle with costly waste, and resource shortages -- as well as legislation pertaining to waste management, asset disposal, and carbon emissions. In turn, IT vendors and organizations such as Green Grid, Lawrence Berkeley Labs, AFCOM, the EPA, EPEAT, and Uptime Institute will continue to develop products, services, and practices to address those issues. I intend to keep readers abreast of these key developments.
My two final thought (for now): First, green IT isn't a passing fad. The term "green" does tend to be abused and misused to the point that its very mention may induce involuntary eye-rolling. But embracing sustainable IT products and practices can have a substantial payoff on an organizational level, and on a global level. More companies recognize it now than they did back in 2007, and as awareness increases, that trend will persist.
Second, green IT is not, nor will it ever be, simply a plug-and-play product. Yes, vendors are adding green features to their wares, such as power saving capabilities and modularity for easier upgrades and recycling. That only goes so far: After all, you could replace every server in your data center with the most energy-efficient machines on the market and still have a woefully inefficient facility if they're all running at 20 percent utilization while your CRAC units are running at 50 degrees.
Like good IT security, green IT requires constant monitoring and measuring to assess where you are and where you need to be. It requires planning, policies, and end-user training to ensure that everyone is on the same page and carrying out the grand vision.
This story, "Green IT means making the most of what we've got," was originally published at InfoWorld.com. Follow the latest developments in green IT and read more of Ted Samson's Sustainable IT blog at InfoWorld.com.

|Forums: Index → Help desk → Video game jutsu overhaul
- For the complied list of jutsu names, see the subpage.
So, as many of the regular users know, our video game jutsu coverage is far from thorough, due to various reasons. For a while now, I have looked up and bookmarked several sites which provide moveset lists for various characters, in various games. Most of the ones I have are for the Ultimate Ninja series. I would have created the articles myself, but there's a problem in that. Those sites list only the name of the technique, and the commands for it. They give no description of what the technique does. I'd be creating several articles limited to saying name of the technique, user, and game debut, with my limited translation knowledge coming from Tangorin.com, wiktionary and Google Translate. Maybe some jutsu classification, depending on the technique's name and user. Does anyone have access to Naruto games, who could fill out the description of the techniques? Movesets of Naruto games in general are available at YouTube, if you know how to look for it, and there are several browser extensions for downloading YouTube videos, so screenshots would be easy to get once you know what each technique is. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:07, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
- I myself own naruto ultimate ninja 1, 2, 3, and 4, as well as uzumaki naruto chronicles 2 (i used to have 1 as well), and naruto ultimate ninja heroes 1 and 3, and naruto shippuden ultimate ninja impact. I could help out with some, and i could help find some gameplay videos too.22.214.171.124 (talk) 01:41, November 26, 2012 (UTC) Yhwach
I've got Ultimate Ninja 4, Storm 1 & 2 and Uzumaki Chronicles 2. I can also ask around my friends to borrow a couple others like Chronicles 1 and one or two others. I'm not great with screenshots, have to take them with my phone and I don't always time it well, but I'm a half decent wordsmith and if you've got the footage I can write up articles just fine. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 02:16, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm pretty good with describing the techniques too.184.108.40.206 (talk) 18:22, November 26, 2012 (UTC) Yhwach
Ok. I would like to go through the games chronologically. I've seen a few of the lists, and there are overlapping techniques, so this way we have the least chance of getting a game debut wrong. Anon, you said you have UN1. While we see the movesets for UN2 (the earliest game I have movesets for), could you check if they match the ones from UN1? As far as all these games go, I recall seeing in a video about the games that they have a moveset list in the pause menu, so that's a way of seeing if they match. Another question, in these games, is it possible to change the audio and text to Japanese? This way we get cross check the English video game with the Japanese name. You may also consider making an account, since your IP can change, which would make it hard to contact you. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:34, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
- I'll check. Thank god UN1 doesn't have like forty charectors. Also yes alot of naruto games (especially the ultimate ninja games) have the choice to change the audio to japanese, but not the text.184.108.40.206 (talk) 23:48, November 26, 2012 (UTC) Yhwach
- In the moveset list in the games, I believe they show the button sequences right? That can be checked to see if the name associated with the technique is different. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:52, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah the button sequences can be shown.22.214.171.124 (talk) 00:00, November 27, 2012 (UTC) Yhwach
Ok. In this site, there are the movesets for Ultimate Ninja 2. Technically in that site they have stuff on Ultimate Ninja 1 to 3, but they only have movesets for 2. Character names in the middle row are very obvious. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:41, November 29, 2012 (UTC)
Sorry i haven't gotten this done sooner, but with school and christmas/new years stuff and the fact that i don't know where i put ultimate ninja 2 at. So i looked up on that site called game facts and found the movelist for UN2. Also it turns out that the Japanese Audio thing started in ultimate ninja 2 and onwards, but i'm still looking for the raw traanslations of the attacks names. I only found like 5 or 6 technique from UN1 that werent in UN2. Should i just post the jutsu articles and clean them up when i got everything or do i wait t'ill i got everything and then post it?220.127.116.11 (talk) 19:31, January 1, 2013 (UTC) Yomiko-chan
As far as raw names are concerned, I think have all of UN2 here and here. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:49, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
Also one of Zabuza's attacks could be re-named in UN2 but since i lost the game i can't tell if it's the same. If someone else could check Zabuza's movelist in the practice mode of the game for me it would be greatly appreciated. UN1 called it Death Slash where he delivers a low kick followed by 3 sword slashes, the last one smashing the enemy into the ground. There's a possibility that it was renamed as either Flying Turn Slash, Scatter Burst Slash, or Spinning Back Slash.126.96.36.199 (talk) 20:47, January 1, 2013 (UTC) Yomiko-chan
Nobody's seriously intending to make articles for each of these, right? Because I'm pretty sure that's the last thing the wiki needs. ~SnapperTo 18:16, October 25, 2013 (UTC)
- Like I said, out coverage of video games is rather poor in the jutsu department. We have the plot of the game in the game articles, with have game characters, game items. Besides, we've had several game jutsu articles already. Going after the names I got here got me the correct titles for tens of jutsu we had, but that were incorrectly named. And besides, it's not like it's going to clog other pages. Most game jutsu nowadays can only be found by clicking to see all of a character's jutsu, in that infobox link. I rather we have them by their correct name, by ourselves, than have random people add it, without us knowing if it's correct and having to chase the jutsu down afterward. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:37, October 26, 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not suggesting it's a lost venture, just that an article for each and every jutsu is the wrong approach. Because the articles on video game jutsu are consistently a) short and of poor quality, b) have little to no video game-relevant data and are therefore useless to those few who are interested in the first place, and c) are likely to only ever be read when using special:random. I think it would be better if each video game had its own subpage where movesets for each character are listed. That way you can provide all the name information you're compiling, easily add button combinations and attack damage for that crowd, and not overrun the wiki with articles that will never improve. Because you've got over two-thousand jutsu so far and only eleven games. Even assuming there are some duplicates, that's a ridiculous amount of articles to be making. ~SnapperTo 21:56, October 26, 2013 (UTC)
- I really don't feel the wiki is benefiting from all of these articles you're making. ~SnapperTo 21:00, January 19, 2014 (UTC)
- I made a sample of a jutsu subpage here. Yagura is the only one I filled out beyond the initial GameFAQs copy. It could stand to be organized better and be more aesthetic, but I feel it's simpler and more useful than making a few hundred articles. ~SnapperTo 20:22, January 20, 2014 (UTC)
- Hum, going by the fields there, it's not as informative about the techniques in general, but it does give me an idea for similar pages. I don't think that simply lumping together all video game jutsu from all characters from all games is the way to go. Actual jutsu and ougi aside (supposing those aren't scrapped as well), I think there we should have character specific pages. For example, using one of the more recently introduced characters in video games, like Hanzō or Darui. "So and so's video-game techniques", where the jutsu introduced in games would go. Techniques could be broken down by the game they were introduced. I don't think it's necessary for us to list the button sequence, though I do think we should retain information that can be filled in the form, like classification, range, etc. In a rough comparison, imagine each of those articles kinda like a volume article, with each game acting as a chapter, maybe being collapsible for space. Something that at least in theory sounds feasible is for each of those articles to retain the filled form, but as a redirect, so the semantic info is still out there. I know that putting something that looks like the form would take too much space, so instead the info could be displayed in a similar way to pre-infobox days of yore? Is that possible? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 14:21, January 22, 2014 (UTC)
- Ok, here is something like my general idea. I made it first with Mifune because since he's recent, there are few techniques. My idea is to list the technique only in the game it first appears in. Images could be added in each section, like we do with proper jutsu articles. I did not include awakening action/jutsu/ougi since those tend to be more distinct that general combos. In the event of one those combos appearing in the manga and anime, or instead the combo being something that went unnamed in the manga and anime, we could "graduate" it into a proper jutsu article, think Sasori's Prepared Puppet: Eight Waves of Needles and Prosthetic Arm Needles. For characters who appear in more than one game, make each game section collapsible. Now the part potentially complicated part I mentioned before, the semantic data. Is it possible to simply leave a form with the filled out infobox, and redirect it to the section in the page? This way the info is still out there to be parsed and listed, but all the descriptions, since they're small, are in the same page. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:52, January 22, 2014 (UTC)
- pre edit-conflict
- I don't think Classification, Class, and Range are tidbits that need preserving; they're completely at the discretion of whoever edits the article (which should be discouraged on a wiki), tend to be the same from jutsu to jutsu (since they're fighting games, everything's offensive and short range), and have layers of overlap that do not typically appear elsewhere in the series (taijutsu and ninjutsu do not exist simultaneously nearly as often in the anime and manga as they do with these video game moves). Button sequences are at least objective and communicate some amount of complexity of the move, which description alone may not represent accurately.
- Subpages-by-character is an approach I also thought of. It would help with cross-referencing a character's moveset from game to game. How to organize it would need to be considered and size issues might start to become a problem for characters like Naruto who appear in every game. But it's got an appeal. From a reader's perspective, though, I think the subpage-by-game would be more valuable. If I'm looking at a character's movelist I'm likely only interested in what they do in one game. If all the other moves on the particular subpage are also from that same game, then all the more convenient for me. But both approaches have their pros and cons and both can be linked to from wherever pretty easily.
- As I said, I do not personally see the value of Classification, Class, and Range. Unless you're wanting nature type and etc., which I forgot about? I still don't see the need, but that at least makes more sense. If there's something with semantics that's going to be done, I believe they would need to be applied to soft redirects, since normal redirects apply the semantic properties to the target page (?). Or maybe you're meaning some kind of transclusion?
- post edit-conflict
- I look at things as I would if I were a reader. I realize the things that interest/do not interest me are not the same for everyone, but it's how I evaluate things. Having said that:
- If I'm looking at a video game topic, I want it in a video game-context. This is where buttons and in-game conditions like health and costumes come in. These are the things I want to know. What I do not particularly care about are classifications from the manga's databooks being transposed onto the video game information for some abstract reason. In your example, all of those jutsu are listed as offensive and short range. Those really mean nothing to me from a video game perspective, and the fact that there's no variance from one to the other causes me to dismiss them entirely. They're all kenjutsu too, which I suppose is interesting, but now I feel my reading comprehension is being challenged since each description already mentions swords in some way. Meanwhile, there's nothing video game-pertinent that I have to gander over beyond the character's name, which video game it is, and a description I do not know what to make of without more information. It's unrealistic for me to expect frametime or typical hp damage for games like these, but I would at least like something.
- To paraphrase, I think that the the wiki's habit of treating video game jutsu in the same way as animanga jutsu has been a mistake.
- Re: images - This might actually be an opportunity to explore videos. There's not as much of a legal gray area with video game videos as there are with anime and manga hosting, so links to movelist demonstrations could just be provided in place of a couple hundred images per page.
- I don't necessarily oppose upgrading jutsu once they appear a certain number of times and/or in certain circumstances. But I think they should remain listed in the subpages, even if they end up getting listed a few dozen times. As seen with Chibaku Tensei, just because a jutsu appears in multiple games does not mean it is the same each time. Likewise, I do not think listing only which game a jutsu debuts in is helpful. Listing each game a jutsu can be performed in should be done instead, a la how characters have a list of each game they appear in.
- To expand a little more on my earlier semantic response: putting a form in the redirects wouldn't work, I don't think. It would need to be something like what is done with the miscellaneous tools, where semantic information is manually listed below the soft redirect. Although: trying to retain semantic information via soft redirects would absolutely destroy special:random; nine out of every ten "articles" would be a link elsewhere. Something to be aware of.

Due to the new ability of this plugin of handling junit reports as well as jmeter ones, JMeter-plugin has been renamed to Performance plugin
This plugin allows you to capture report from JMeter. Hudson will generate graphic charts with the trend report of performance and robustness.
Release 0.3.0 includes the feature of setting the final build status as good, unstable or failed, based on the reported jmeter error percentage.
Usage with Freestyle project
1. You can use ant and jmeter task for ant to launch tests on your web application
<project default="all"> <!-- Define an environment variable pointing to JMETER folder or change this --> <property environment="env"/> <property name="jmeter-home" location="${env.JMETER_DIR}"/> <!-- ant-jmeter.jar comes with jmeter, be sure this is the release you have --> <path id="ant.jmeter.classpath"> <pathelement location="${jmeter-home}/extras/ant-jmeter-1.0.9.jar" /> </path> <taskdef name="jmeter" classname="org.programmerplanet.ant.taskdefs.jmeter.JMeterTask" classpathref="ant.jmeter.classpath" /> <target name="clean"> <delete dir="results"/> <delete file="jmeter.log"/> <mkdir dir="results/jtl"/> <mkdir dir="results/html"/> </target> <target name="test" depends="clean"> <jmeter jmeterhome="${jmeter-home}" resultlogdir="results/jtl"> <testplans dir="test/jmeter" includes="*.jmx"/> </jmeter> </target> <!-- This is not needed for the plugin, but it produces a nice html report which can be saved usin hudson's archive artifact feature --> <target name="report" depends="test"> <xslt basedir="results/jtl" destdir="results/html" includes="*.jtl" style="${jmeter-home}/extras/jmeter-results-detail-report_21.xsl"/> </target> <target name="all" depends="test, report"/> </project>
Hudson Configuration
In Hudson, configure the files or the repository containing the files to be parsed by JMeter plugin.
If you have are using version 0.3.0, you can configure the error percentage thresholds which would make the project unstable or failed.

NOTE: There is an incompatibility with the previous version of the plugin, due to the way the JMeter result files are handled:
- The Maven JMeter plugin handles the test result in this way now:
- The last released version (0.2) of the Hudson JMeter plugin only handles one JMeter test:
- But version 0.3.0 introduces the possibility to handle several JMeter tests :
- To keep the current test results obtained with the 0.2 plugin one has to apply the following migration procedure :

Thanks for the plugin, it's great. I think however, that min and max times are swapped. Also, as can be seen on the page linked below, average time is sometimes greater than max time, which is improper, i think.

Indeed. In addition to the note above, it appears that the min/max may be on different scales (I see graphs where both min and max are below the average), and the min/max appear to be the actual literal min/max rather than a 5th/95th percentile or the like.
It would be really amazing to get some configuration options for a threshold for how min/max are computed.

St George Illawarra caretaker coach Paul McGregor says he will turn to his axed predecessor Steve Price for advice in helping to turn around the struggling Dragons.
McGregor took the Dragons through their first training session in Wollongong on Tuesday, after taking over as interim mentor following Price's sacking on Monday.
The former Dragons centre has been handed the reins of the joint venture until the end of the season but said he hadn't yet thought about taking over on a permanent basis.
Price was dumped after two disappointing seasons since taking over in 2012 and overseeing a troubling slump this year, which has seen them lose six of their last seven games.
But despite the dumping of Price, McGregor said he would consult with his former boss for footballing wisdom for the remainder of the season.
"I will," he said.
"He is a mate of mine and we worked well together.
"He is hurting, anyone in that position would be, but he understands rugby league.
"He really wants the boys to work hard and perform for the rest of the year.
"We all feel for him. We are all hurting for this football club, and that is why I am standing right here.
"Because we don't want someone to come in and undo all the good work we have done.
"I wish he was standing here, I really do.
Wayne Bennett is among those who have been linked to the Dragons for 2015. McGregor said he wasn't yet looking at the role long term and only took the interim job after talking to Price.
"It is an easier transition for the players than someone outside coming in," McGregor said.
"I'm looking at this week to week. We have a game against South Sydney on Monday, I couldn't give two hoots about next year.
"I have enjoyed my role when I was a head coach at other establishments.
"But head coach in the NRL, wow, the pressure. But as I did when I was a player, you go out, do your best and work hard.
"I'll see how much I enjoy it over the next month."
Captain Ben Creagh said the Dragons players had to shoulder much of the blame for their poor efforts this year.
"Ultimately our performances and the results of those performances determined the fate of the coach and we do have to take some responsibility," he said.
"We had total respect for Steve and it is disappointing to see him go.
"Ultimately it comes back to the players, yes coaches have influence over a team with game plans and what not but 17 players are out there every week and that is what it comes back to.
"We have a lot of work to do to get back to how we were playing at the start of the season."

Serves 4
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
2 teaspoons unsalted butter or Olive oil
1 pound jumbo sea scallops
Bacon jam
salt and pepper to taste
Before searing the scallops, remove any moisture by patting them dry so they don't steam in their own juices. Salt and pepper to taste and sear scallops in a hot skillet with butter or olive oil for 2-3 minutes per side until the scallop starts to brown and split on the side. Depending on the size, you may need to increase cooking time.
Place warm scallops on a plate and top with bacon jam. Remember to warm the bacon jam before serving.
This will be served with a frieze salad with cherry tomatoes tossed in a light balsamic vinaigrette.


text: SILVER STAR CITATION: The President of the United States takes pride in presenting the Silver Star Medal (Posthumously) to Leonard L. Newton (2387353), Private First Class, U.S. Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving as a Machine Gunner with Company I, Third battalion, Twenty-Sixth Marines, THIRD Marine Division, in connection with operations against the enemy in the Republic of Vietnam. On 19 January 1968, Private First Class Newton's platoon engaged a North Vietnamese Army unit which was occupying positions on top of a hill. In the ensuing fire fight, the Marines sustained several casualties and were temporarily pinned down. Unhesitatingly moving to a forward position, Private First Class Newton commenced to direct fire against the enemy. Unable to adjust his fire because of the high grass, he repeatedly stood up and fired his weapon from the shoulder. Suppressing the fire from at least three enemy automatic weapons, he enabled his platoon to recover the wounded and maneuver to more advantageous positions. Disregarding his own safety, he continued to stand in the tall grass and provide covering fire for his companions until he was killed by the hostile fire. By his indomitable courage, aggressive fighting spirit and selfless devotion to duty, Private First Class Newton upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

Tell me how I should upgrade from my ancient computer!
Hello, good burghers of RPS.
After a long period of mostly playing indie & rather older games on my desktop PC (for example, FTL, SpaceChem, etc), I find myself in the position of once again having some "AAA" specced games on my to-play list.
My currently specced desktop, the newest piece of which is a stalwart NVIDIA 8800 GT, is obviously not up to the task.
(I discovered this when trying to play Deus Ex: Histrionic Rhamphorhynchus and finding that, with all the settings turned right down, and even taking into account the fact that my monitor only goes up to 1440x900, I can only get more than 2FPS when there are no enemies on the screen at all. I do not exaggerate.)
So, after a bit of poking around and trying to update my knowledge of what's "good" nowadays (helped a bit by http://www.logicalincrements.com/ ), I've come to the conclusion that it's probably much cheaper just to buy an Xbox360. I'd really rather not do that, though, so I come to you good people to see if you can save my PC gaming alternative.
Luckily, both my hard disks are SATA, and my PSU was apparently fancy enough when I bought it to actually have 8pin CPU power connectors as well as 4pin ones, so I think I should just have to upgrade the motherboard/cpu/ram and, obviously the graphics card to actually get to a "modern" state.
The problem is, of course, the tension between what I'd like to have (something awesome) and what I can reasonably spend money on without feeling terribly guilty / eating into budgets for things that aren't mere frippery. For example: is it really worth getting an i5 or an i7 over an i3 for your processor? Is an NVIDIA 650 actually going to be sufficiently future proof to play modern games (and future games) at something resembling a reasonable frame rate (esp. if I later upgrade my monitor), or do I have to splurge on something horribly expensive like a 660 or higher?
What, in short, is a "reasonable" system? (Ideally, I'd like to spend £300 on upgrading, but that seems to be impossible without making multiple compromises. Generally, though, lets keep costs down, if possible.)
I should note that I'm running a purely Linux system here, so I'm also concerned with driver support etc. As such I'm strongly inhibited from buying ATI graphics cards as I've had multiple horrible experience with their drivers in the past.
A Core i5 is worth it over a Core i3. A Core i7, not so much. But a Core i3 is decent enough if you need to keep the price down.
A GTX 650 is a bit on the meh side. A GTX 650 Ti is a better idea, though AMD does unfortunately do better in that price range.
Yeah, I have terrible luck with the linux ati drivers (fglrx). Nvidia's were better in 2003 than fglrx was in 2012. Ok, that might be a bit rosy memory, but yeah, nVidia has better linux drivers in my opinion.
EDIT: Apparently I can't read. Your budget is in there. Carry on.
If you can stretch £20-25, here's a decent setup:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: Intel Core i5-3350P 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor (£130.98 @ Scan.co.uk)
Motherboard: MSI B75MA-E33 Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard (£42.98 @ Novatech)
Memory: Corsair XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£32.99 @ Amazon UK)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB Video Card (£114.78 @ Scan.co.uk)
Total: £321.73
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)
(Generated by PCPartPicker 2013-02-01 21:00 GMT+0000)
It'll cost a couple pounds more with shipping (well, to buy from the "more expensive" stores with free shipping).

Cheers, that looks like vaguely the direction I was heading in, but with less confidence that I was picking the right stuff.
As far as memory goes, CAS timings are still less important than general clock speed, right? (so DDR3-1600 is pretty good, and I shouldn't sweat 10-10-10 v 9-9-9 ?)
Indeed. CAS latency doesn't really matter all that much. If you can get lower latency for the same price by all means go for it, but if it's more expensive by a few percent it's just not worth it from an efficiency of money invested standpoint.
I'd advice going for a single 8GB module though. That board only has 2 memory slots, so if you ever want to upgrade you'd have to toss out (or sell) the 2x4gb modules. A single 8GB doesn't give you dual channel, but you can keep an eye on memory prices. At some point the second stick will go for very little cash indeed (it's already approaching that point for PC1600). Or, if you want to spring for it, go for 16GB right away.
I did this with my current build and got my second 2x2GB set of sticks for about 30 euros delivered while the first pair set me back around 80.
More memory is always nice, and you're maxing out your capacity with this initial buy, so keep that in mind.

I'm surprised an 8800GT is that bad - it's not long ago they could still hold their ground against low/midrange cards (on straight numbers, it's 70% the power of my cheapo 5670) - I suspect your CPU might be more the issue???
You'd not want to carry that GPU into a new PC tho - so you need something completely new there anyway.
As far as budget builds, I always point at AMD because you get a decentish board but a lower-end APU (e.g. a CPU with decent built-in graphics) with a view to adding a GPU (which may even Crossfire with the onboard one) when you have more cash and then replacing the APU when the higher-end ones are dirt cheap (in about a year - 18 months usually) - that gives you 3 PCs in one go - in 3 payments!!
If you're averse to AMD tho - that's not going to work - tho your budget might JUST stretch to an i5/half-decent board and 4Gb perhaps?
The 8800GT isn't a bad card at lower resolutions.
I'd still be using mine (@1366x768) if it hadn't broken down recently.
Maybe turn off AA, and set AF to 4x.
Maybe you can find out what the bottleneck is, with the games you are having problems with.
What CPU & RAM are you using currently?
It's hard to recommend anything really because you're using Linux. Aside from PC exclusives and a few "enhanced" ports like Just Cause 2 or Mass Effect 3, all AAA titles target a geforce 8800GTX as mid range and 8800GT as minimum. That means that you are guaranteed 60fps performance on mid to high settings with an 8800GTX (RAGE runs 60fps maxed actually, you can mix and match with BF3 and get 60fps) while an 8800GT gets you a stable 60fps on medium settings.
Getting 1fps in Deus EX:HR is way too low for an 8800GT, when others are running it relatively well at high settings on the same card
Linux, and subsequently WINE, is sort of a wildcard. The only way you are guaranteed to get real performance in that scenario is by going completely overkill and spending at least $2000 on a core i7 3770 and a gtx680.
If you really want to stick with Linux and can't afford to spend that much, I say go for a 360.

Indeed, since I can at least get DX:HR to play reasonably without enemies on the screen, I'm fairly sure it's not actually the 8800GT that's the bottleneck - it's just that it's the newest bit of my system, so it was mentioned in the context of "everything else in my desktop is older and worse than this".
Currently I have an Athlon 64 X2 4800+ and a mighty 2GB of (presumably DDR2, I honestly forget) RAM, which I suspect can't cope with the added effort required to handle in game AI as well as everything else.
As tjrp notes, though, if I'm going to be upgrading the CPU (and consequently the motherboard and RAM) anyway, it seems like I'd be switching to the GPU being the bottleneck, so it's worth considering if a balanced system is worth the effort.
And finally: mashakos, I know you're trying to be helpful, but I actually know from the AppDB entries and discussion that DX:HR is actually pretty performant in Wine, so I'm fairly sure it's not Wine being the issue here.

I reckon your problem is still software-based - that CPU isn't terrible and 2Gb of RAM would be OK if you were running XP or even W7 (just) - but that doesn't help solve anything...
If you were curious you could throw W7 on there (30 day eval copy) and see what happens - if it's no better, you've proven a point if nothing else...
The thing with an upgrade is that a new, half-decent GPU would be most of £100, memory will be about £50ish so that's half your budget gone - a decent mobo with upgrade potential and some OCing ability will be more than half of the rest leaving not-enough for a CPU...
and that all assumes your PSU is upto the job - if it's similar vintage to the other kit, it's probably due for replacement!?
The trick with upgrading desktops is to do it whilst some of your hardware is still usable - but I keep failing at that too,. sadly...

I upgraded the PSU when I got the 8800GT, and it was an expensive 600W PSU at the time (it was one of the better CoolerMaster branded ones, with the precursor to the 80+ Bronze rating), so I'm willing to rely on it being up to the task for a bit longer.
And, yes, I hear you on the piecemeal update policy, trjp - it was my intention to do just that, but the AMD CPU socketing changed a bit faster than I was expecting, so that kinda put paid to my original "upgrade CPU at least once, with motherboard firmware updates" approach I was planning...

If they're the same speed and latency, it'll work fine. I'm running mismatched sticks with no ill effect.

On PSUs - reckon on losing 10% a year on cheaper ones - 5% on decent ones.
If you're still covering the power reqs of your PC - you should be OK. I find, on the better PSUs, that the first thing to fail is usually the fan anyway (starts to buzz/rattle/thrum as the bearings start to wear-out).

Streatham Court, University of Exeter, Rennes Drive, Exeter, EX4 4PU, UK
My practitioner background is in Service and Relationship Marketing, Data Management & Analysis, and Mass Communications. During the past decade, I have been consulting or carrying out research in distinct areas which also inform my teaching.
AREA 1: In strategy, my earlier work included research on clusters, regions and regional development. My work on modeling and mapping high-technology clusters, identifying factors behind cluster success has now been replaced with research around issues of the lack of growth and competitiveness exhibited by regions, clusters and other territorial entities. Of particular interest to me currently are notions of periphery, regional and cluster birth and transformation, laggards, catching-up, and difficulties faced by early stage locations. Processual and historical theories inform some of the more recent publications belonging to this stream of research and practice. My work with small businesses and start-ups in biotechnology informs a separate line of analysis focused on entrepreneurship, more specifically rural entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial failure, as well as cooperation, co-operatives and social enterprises in rural areas.
AREA 2: In the area of Marketing, I have been researching relationships, service provision, especially with reference to power and influence dynamics, theories of disciplining and coercion within interactions between service providers and customers. In the past few years, I have been working with Alex Warlow on a new theory of compliance businesses. This complements a separate strand of research on marketing ethics, particularly the role of confusion in marketing.
AREA 3: In Transition studies, I have worked on matters of privatisation and corporate restructuring; Central and Eastern European structural adjustment; the role of institutions and informal institutions, path dependence and path plasticity.

Bluetooth Beats: A DJ Hero Experiment
Bluetooth Beats is a physical turntable emulator. With a DJ Hero controller, a Wiimote, OSCulator, and PureData, Bluetooth Beats gives anyone the ability to manipulate and scratch songs like a DJ without the need for expensive, professional equipment.
The purpose of the official DJ Hero game is to reproduce the experience of being an actual DJ. For example, in the game, when a user places their finger on the 'vinyl' and pulls in a certain direction it makes a scratch sound. These actions take place in a controlled environment, with set songs and scratch points, where a user follows prompts provided by the game - scoring points for reproducing the sounds in the game.
Instead of recording a user's actions and sending them to the DJ Hero software, Bluetooth Beats uses the DJ Hero turntable controller to send data about a user's actions to a computer program that allows the user to manipulate a chosen song in real-time, and wirelessly. Currently Bluetooth Beats allows the user to change volume, stop/start, rewind and fastforward, scratch, and sample in real time.
