So, being inspired by all of the MMO buzz and a little by Dawn of Worlds... all sorts of things, really, I decided to make a little turn-based strategy mockup game to offset the RPG aspects of Arkbrik's concept. It's still very WIP, but you guys can take a look at what I have so far. I'll keep this thread updated on whatever changes I make as I go along.
Here it is.
Here are some images that will eventually make it into the rulebook, but that I haven't yet left space for (I'm planning on hopefully making a pretty PDF version with Adobe Acrobat).
Illustrates which terrain types are represented by which symbols. There will be a similar one later illustrating unit types. Blue is meant to be "Player 1", while red is "Player 2."
An image showing how the numbering system. For example, Player 2's capital is located on D1; the highlighted mountains on the island are located on H9; etc.
Feel absolutely free to suggest changes, make comments, and generally critique my math and sense of judgement as this goes on. I need your input, as this is a tough thing to do alone.

He holds a master's degree in computer science from ETH Zurich.
Topic: Cross-Site Request Forgery.
Abstract: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) hides in the shadow of two more well-known web vulnerabilities: Cross-site scripting and SQL injection. Despite its occlusion, statistics clearly show that CSRF attacks are on the increase. The leading secure cloud hosting company Firehost rated CSRF as the most frequent attack in 2011 and the second most frequent attack in the third quarter of 2012. Termed "the sleeping giant" back in 2007, the giant has definitely woken up.
CSRF attacks are remarkably easy to mount and their potential impact is limited only by the targeted site itself. All the major web sites like Gmail, Amazon and Facebook had their brush with CSRF in the past. CSRF is a clear and present threat that is better taken seriously.
This OWASP session raises awareness of the threat, explains its workings, and leads the audience through the gamut of available protections, both client and server side. Attendees will leave equipped with the necessary knowledge to protect their web applications as well as themselves against this underestimated attack.
Location: Sudan University of Science and Technology

Applying for competitive fellowships and scholarships may seem daunting, but major awards are not out of reach for dedicated students.
Gettysburg College students have earned Rhodes, Marshall and Goldwater scholarships, Fulbright grants and teaching assistantships and National Science Foundation fellowships, as well as other awards.
As part of its scholar development program, Gettysburg College makes it a high priority to assist students who are willing to put forth the time and effort required to craft a strong application.
Assistant Provost for Scholarship Maureen Forrestal (firstname.lastname@example.com), 717-337-6835, is ready to mentor students as they brainstorm with faculty members about feasible projects, reflect about who they are and what they really want to do, research their topic and work through the inevitable rewrites of their applications.
Gettysburg College encourages students to be active partners in the learning process.
Our scholar development model pairs students and faculty mentors. Together, they design and complete projects, share results with the campus and professional communities, and reflect on what they have learned. The goal is not only to gain academic knowledge, but also to develop life-long skills.
Students who excel in these learning partnerships gain a competitive advantage in graduate school admission and in seeking prestigious scholarships such as the Rhodes, Marshall and Fulbright.
Few colleges offer students as many opportunities to collaborate with professors on research and original creative work. Recent topics hint at the spectrum of possibilities:
· Immigration policies
· Landscapes in Bali
· Acid mine drainage
· Latin prose
· DNA sequencing
· Traditional Chinese medicine

after 5 times on water I got this
is it a normal wear? is it a warranty case?
Of course I can fix it with local shoemaker, but damn, its new 200$ product I was expecting to kite all my life and then resell for a good price.
Update. Just a few words about Slingshot support — IT'S GREAT. We have found solution for my problem, so I'm more than happy.
Before I've talked to few other brands, and Slingshot support outperforms them with speed of reaction, attitude to you and ability to solve your problems. Even if gear sucks sometimes, support is not. This is the way to turn angry customers into loyal brand evangelists.

There is a house sliding into a tributary of Lake Red Rock, and three more in the county are at risk, says Marion County Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff Anderson. He says he was first notified of the situation last Wednesday by an anonymous third party.
Anderson says they immediately met with the homeowners and pulled together volunteer resources. Safe Guard Iowa came to assist the residents and called upon Pella Corporation, Vermeer and the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief Group to help with the efforts. Also assisting at the scene were the Mahaska County Emergency Management Office, Oksaloosa Fire Department, Knoxville Fire and Rescue and the Knoxville Rural Fire Department was on standby in case extra help was needed. The volunteers worked together to move the family's possessions into storage for safe keeping.
Anderson says that the sliding of the house was due in part to the constant heavy rains that we have had this summer. He reports that an engineer has said that the house can not be stabilized and it will be demolished before it can slide into the water. The Red Cross has been assisting the family to find temporary shelter. Anderson says that FEMA should be able to help the displaced family recover as well.
The homeowner wishes to remain anonymous.

Monday, March 1, 2010
Each year, two in every 100,000 young athletes succumb to sudden cardiac death, fueling a debate over what constitutes a comprehensive health screening prior to sports participation. A new study by researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Heart Center found the addition of electrocardiogram (ECG) testing to the standard medical history and physical examination for young athletes may better identify key cardiovascular abnormalities responsible for sports-related sudden death. In their report in the March 2 Annals of Internal Medicine, the researchers concluded that ECG improves the overall sensitivity of cardiovascular prescreenings but is also associated with a significant rate of false positive results.
"Adding ECG to the current standard of care improved the ability to detect underlying heart diseases - including cardiomyopathy and other important causes of sudden cardiac death - that were missed by a history and examination alone," said Aaron Baggish, MD, of the MGH Heart Center, the lead author of the study.
Hidden cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of sudden death in young athletes. While the need to prescreen athletes prior to participation is undisputed, practice guidelines for such screenings are not uniform. The American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) recommend athletes undergo a focused medical history and physical examination, while the European Society of Cardiology and the International Olympic Committee advocate the inclusion of a resting ECG in preparticipation screenings. In 1982, the Italian government instituted a national program of mandatory ECG screenings for all athletes under the age of 35, to which it has credited a significant reduction in the incidence of sports-related sudden death.
"One of the issues has been a lack of data behind the athletic prescreening debate; it has been driven by opinion and observation," said Baggish. "This is the first prospective trial examining this issue, and the first time scientific data have shown us the strengths and weaknesses of the current standards of care."
This study was conducted over three years and enrolled 510 collegiate athletes at Harvard University. Prior to athletic participation, each individual had a standard medical history and physical evaluation in accordance with the ACC/AHA guidelines. Immediately following this evaluation, each athlete underwent a resting ECG and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). The TTE found 11 of the athletes had underlying cardiac pathology suggesting valvular heart disease, and three of them had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or myocarditis, conditions serious enough to require sports restriction. The ECG-integrated screening detected 10 of the 11 athletes with cardiac disease, including all three who required sport restriction. The physical examination and medical history alone diagnosed only 5 of the 11 participants with valvular heart disease and missed two of those with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or myocarditis.
"These findings raise important concerns about the efficacy of medical history and physical examination health screenings alone, since it is the cardiomyopathies that account for the majority of sport-related sudden deaths," said Baggish. "Doctors who perform preparticipation screening and athletes who participate in this valuable practice should be aware of its advantages and limitations. The overall goal of this study was to provide sound scientific data to assist with future decision making about how to keep athletes safe."
However, the study also had a 16 percent false-positive rate, which complicates the overall findings.
Baggish, an instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School, notes that further long-term study documenting screening findings and the incidence of sports restrictions and sudden death is needed to determine the impact of including ECG on health care cost and patient outcomes.
Primary co-authors of the Annals of Internal Medicine study are Adolph Hutter, MD; Kibar Yared, MD; Rory Weiner, MD; Michael Picard, MD; and Malissa Wood, MD; of the MGH Heart Center; and Francis Wang, MD; and Eli Kupperman, of Harvard University Health Services.
Massachusetts General Hospital, established in 1811, is the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. The MGH conducts the largest hospital-based research program in the United States, with an annual research budget of more than $600 million and major research centers in AIDS, cardiovascular research, cancer, computational and integrative biology, cutaneous biology, human genetics, medical imaging, neurodegenerative disorders, regenerative medicine, systems biology, transplantation biology and photomedicine.

Anything that doesn't fit anywhere else
Use this as a community whiteboard, however actual discussions should probably happen on the mailing list.
What are you folks thinking about for funding this and what type of funding are you open too? Membership fees, fund raisers, seeking out an investor, hacking the lottery? -- Deltaray 19:40, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
I would like to see this be user supported by membership dues, however I think we're open to about anything to help reduce costs for everyone. I have a spreadsheet (File:HackerSpaceCosts.xls) linked on the front page so that anyone can see what numbers we're looking at for the moment. Obviously variables like the final rent cost and other costs will vary the final amount, but with 10 members a rough shwag would be around $70 a month, 20 members and that can get down below $40 per member per month. Things like startup costs like rent-deposit I think we would look for donations (probably from ourselves). Also, and this should be discussed at some point, there could be some small fee-based services that could be offered like low-budget web hosting out of the space or other things that could help reduce costs. -- Dosman 21:20, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
A few other ideas for funding here and there are:
- Fixing things for people get them to donate or maybe just have a flat rate for the repair.
- Maybe a monthly/annual sale of things that have been created at the hackerspace
- Going to garage sales, finding cheap electronics things that can be resold or whatever. Like $1 items that could be fixed for cheap and sold for $20 or something.
- Buying IU Surplus stuff to resell (this can be dangerous though because we could wind up with lots of junk)
- Hold some interesting event in order to take donations.
There are lots of possibilities. -- Deltaray 17:15, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
I agree, there are a number of avenues that can be pursued, those are good ideas. I'd also like to mention the issue with donations (as in hardware). Like you said, we don't want to end up with lots of junk being stored in the space. Another problem is that anything formally donated to a non-profit (and it turns out to be junk or unusable) needs to be disposed of in accordance with law. This may simply be keeping records that we threw it away or it may require donation to another non-profit in certain cases. Additionally, if the space ever comes to a close, everything owned by the non-profit must be donated to another non-profit. All I'm saying is that we need to be leary of accepting large amounts of stuff until we can get things formalized. Sadly, I do know where there are semi-trailers packed full of IU warehouse computers and electronics here in town ;). Dosman 11:23, 19 May 2009 (EDT)

Charlie Sheen covers costs of injured girl's therapy dog
Teagan Marti suffered brain, spine, pelvis and internal injuries when she plummeted 100 feet (31 metres) from the Terminal Velocity attraction at Extreme World in Wisconsin after the ride's safety nets failed.
On Thursday (14Feb13) the former Two and a Half Men star shelled out £6,250 to aid her in her recovery by supplying the 15 year old with a specially-trained Golden Retriever puppy, who will help her during rehabilitation.
Marti tells the Associated Press, "I think he's a very kind person for helping me and my family and very generous."
And her mother, Julie, insists she is beyond thankful because the family has been dealing with money problems as a result of her daughter's high medical bills: "I'm in such disbelief. I was crying... What a guy."
Sheen is just glad he could help, adding, "I like to pay it forward. People come into your orbit for a reason. You don't always know what that is ahead of time, but if I ignore these requests then I don't have any opportunity to see where these things lead us, or lead me."
This isn't the actor's first random act of kindness - earlier this year (13) he helped cover the funeral costs of a paparazzo who was killed in a car accident while trying to photograph Justin Bieber.

IRS Delays Accepting Tax Returns One Week Because of Fiscal Cliff
(CNN) – The Internal Revenue Service will begin processing almost all tax returns at the end of the month.
There was concern over a possible delay because of the new fiscal cliff legislation that Congress passed on New Year's Day and possible new tax provisions.
Now the agency says it will begin processing the vast majority of tax returns on January 30, just over a week later than planned.
Certain taxpayers, including those claiming residential energy credits, depreciation of property or general business credits will have to wait until late February or March to file.
It's not the first time the IRS has had to deal with late action by Congress.
Two years ago, it took until mid-December for President Obama and lawmakers to reach an agreement on many of the same issues.
That delayed the opening of the tax season until mid-February, affecting some 9 million taxpayers that year.

The hanging of Ajmal Kasab, the sole surviving gunman from the 2008 Mumbai attacks, is a good PR result for the Indian justice system, but does nothing to improve India's security and makes it even less likely that the masterminds of the attack will be brought to justice. That may work in the government's favour.
India's judicial system is a lumbering beast – trials can take years to reach their conclusion amid a backlog estimated at around 30 million cases. India retains the death penalty, but mostly because no one wants to appear weak by calling for its abolition. Only one execution has been carried out in the past 15 years (a former security guard hanged in 2004 for the rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl).
So with a trial that clocked in at just over three years, and a sentence that was carried out just six months later, the case certainly stands out. The president rejected his mercy plea on 5 November and he was secretly hanged in Pune jail on Wednesday. A token offer was made for Pakistan to reclaim the body, which will no doubt be ignored.
For once, the government looks decisive and got results. The anniversary of the Mumbai attacks is usually an occasion for the media to rake over the many embarrassing failures of the police and authorities at the time. As Sandipan Deb pointed out in Mint today, carrying out the execution just a few days before the fourth anniversary is a good way to deflect some of that criticism. We might even forget about the National Counter-Terrorism Centre and other much-needed security reforms that were repeatedly promised and never delivered.
The execution was primarily about revenge. Many were today disappointed that the hanging didn't take place in a public square, perhaps hoping for some kind of communal hysteria – tearing his body to pieces, smearing his blood on their faces and urinating on the mutilated corpse. Certainly, it had nothing to do with the official justification behind executions that they act as a deterrent to future offenders. As many people have pointed out on social media today, Kasab went into this operation hoping to die, as will any future jihadists of his kind.
There is also the question of how this affects the broader investigation into the attacks. Kasab had probably provided as much information on their planning as he was ever likely to divulge. Nonetheless, his death closes off forever the one source of living knowledge in Indian custody.
In a way, this may prove useful to the Indian government. Its attempts to pressure the Pakistan government into co-operating with the investigation have made barely any progress, and this has hampered the broader peace negotiations that resumed in 2011. India is desperate to move beyond the endless bickering with its difficult neighbour. It wants normal trade relations, security in Kashmir, and the chance to engage with Afghanistan without fear of triggering a proxy war. It must be clear to the Indian government that they will never get a satisfactory response from Pakistan in bringing to justice the plotters of the Mumbai attacks. At some point, a line will have to be drawn in the sand, and that starts by burying the painful reminder that was sat in a Pune cell.

I did a couple of tests out of one of the 10 REAL LSATS book (or 10 More, I don't know), but the one that was REALLY helpful to me was Kaplan's LSAT 180. It is drilling on the toughest versions of all the types of LSAT questions - these things are really hard! You'd maybe expect 1 or 2 this hard per section, maybe only 7 or 8 on the whole test - and this book has dozens of them. I highly recommend it!
They dont use real test questions and their methods contradict each other.I think students should just stay away from Kaplan period.
Quote from: Victor on February 11, 2004, 06:03:56 AMThey dont use real test questions and their methods contradict each other.I think students should just stay away from Kaplan period.I agree with you Victor. I joined the pre-law co-ed fraternity (basically a honors club, not something you have to pledge to or do freeky greeky stuff) and we, as a group, studied for the LSAT (usually once a month as a whole group) and at the end of the month we took a practice LSAT. We shared the costs of the books and one of the books we purchased was Kaplan's LSAT 180. I have an average score of 170+ (started out at only 165 but have improved over time) but after trying to study and understand Kaplan's method my score dropped to a 162/161 on the next two tests I took. Everyone in the group had his/her LSAT score either drop or stay the same after using Kaplan's 180 LSAT methods. On one page Kaplan had the exact same type of problem (logical reasoning), except one story was about tanks and the other was about people, and Kaplan had two completely different answers!!! Also, Kaplan had two different reasons for theses answers, and neither reason was logical! I think that Kaplan's LSAT 180 is lacking judgment and would be a better bet if Kaplan would stop being cheap and actually buy REAL LSAT questions from LSAC!
Just curious, how many practice LSATS did most of you guys take prior to taking the LSAT for real?

Author Notes: I've made this sherbet recipe, adapted from Cooks Illustrated, more than a dozen times, and each time, I can't get over how good, bright, and delicious it is. It knocks the socks off store-bought versions. My favorite part of this recipe is the technique of whipping the cream and then gently incorporating it into the orange juice base, which results in a wonderfully creamy yet light sherbet. Enjoy the sherbet on its own, or for a really refreshing drink, combine a few scoops of it with orange juice and seltzer. The sherbet recipe is very adaptable, so feel free to play around with the types of citrus you use. A nice variation is using 1 cup OJ and 1 cup grapefruit juice, especially when grapefruits are at their peak. —EmilyC
Food52 Review: Light, refreshing and bright, just like citrus should be. The sherbet recipe really is fantastic. We love the whipped cream idea. It makes the sherbet silky smooth and airy. It's very simple and very good, who could ask for more? —Stephanie Bourgeois
Serves: 1
For orange sherbet
1 T grated zest from 1 to 2 oranges or lemons
1 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
2 cups orange juice, preferably freshly squeezed
¼ cup lemon juice from 1 to 2 lemons
2/3 cup heavy cream
To assemble coolers
½ cup orange juice, preferably freshly squeezed, chilled
½ cup seltzer, chilled
½ cup orange sherbet
For orange sherbet
- In a food processor, process zest, sugar, and salt for about 10 to 15 one-second pulses, or until damp. With machine running, add OJ and lemon juice in a steady stream. Continue to process until sugar is fully dissolved, about 1 minute.
- Pass mixture through fine-mesh strainer into medium-sized bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer until very cold but not frozen – about 45 minutes. Alternatively, chill in the refrigerator for 2+ hours.
- When juice mixture is cold, whip the cream using whisk or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Whisking constantly, add juice mixture to cream in a steady stream, pouring against the edge of the bowl. Immediately transfer juice/cream mixture to the canister of your ice cream maker and begin churning. Churn until set, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- When done, transfer sherbet from canister to storage container and press plastic wrap against surface. Freeze until firm, about 3 hours.
To assemble coolers
- Pour the orange juice and seltzer into a tall glass, with enough clearance to hold the sherbet. Add the sherbet and let it fizz. Alternatively, you can blend the three ingredients together for a shake of sorts. Enjoy!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 29 (UPI) -- A Florida pizzeria teamed with an Army National Guard major serving in Afghanistan to make his wife's birthday meal a special surprise.
Maj. Shawn Fulker emailed pizza chain Mellow Mushroom's corporate website Thursday to ask about paying with his credit card over the phone to have a pizza and a $50 gift card delivered to his wife at their Jacksonville, Fla., home, ABC News reported Tuesday.
However, Brooke Chafee, a manager at the Jacksonville store, and her workers decided they would not only honor Fulker's request free of charge, but they would add a few special touches to the delivery.
"We had the cook make a heart-shaped pizza, and then we stopped by the nearest Publix (supermarket) to get flowers and then we picked up balloons, just to kind of make it special," Chafee said.
The birthday surprise was delivered Thursday to Josephine Fulker.
John Valentino, who owns the Mellow Mushroom franchise as well as a few other locations in the city, said he was happy his store was able to help Shawn Fulker.
"Of course we weren't going to charge him for anything," Valentino said. "Him being a serviceman and his wife being home ... Hopefully in her husband's absence we were able to help her have a great birthday while he's over in Afghanistan serving our country."
Shawn Fulker said the company's gesture helped him feel closer to home.
"I miss my wife and son so much, and seeing that photo of them smiling at my front door brought tears to my eyes," he wrote. "When I received the email and photo from Mellow Mushroom I was sitting at my desk, and had to get up and leave the room to compose myself. I am very grateful for that moment."

In 1992, Qian Ni, who had come to the United States from China to study music, founded Eastman Strings. In the beginning, he and his two musician colleagues bought instruments from Western-trained violin makers from their home town in China, but before long, they saw that a different approach was needed.
Mr. Ni hired a group of established master violinmakers, and with their help, he established a large master violin workshop devoted to the handcrafting of instruments—one of the first the world had known since the first half of the 20th century. In the short time since this workshop was founded, the reputation of Eastman Strings' instruments for tonal quality and craftsmanship excellence has become a worldwide standard.
After establishing the instrument making workshop, Qian Ni went on to found a bow making workshop based on the same principals. In both workshops, master makers train and oversee talented woodworkers to create some of the world's finest student, step-up, and professional instruments and bows.
Today, the instrument and bow making workshops of Eastman Strings operate in precisely the same manner as late 19th century European workshops. They have virtually no power tools aside from the band saws used to cut out the necks and the outlines of the tops and backs of instruments. Chisels, knives, gouges, and scrapers, in the hands of outstandingly gifted craftspeople, are the primary tools used to create these modern instruments and bows, using methods centuries old. Thanks to Eastman Strings, string players today have advantages unknown to earlier generations: quality instruments, bows, and cases available world-wide at affordable prices.
Eastman Strings had been accepted as high quality handcrafted instruments, so Mr. Ni identified the need for hand crafted arch top guitars at an affordable price. Following the same good practices established by the violin shop, a studied approach was applied to the arch top guitar. Numerous vintage models were studied and the first guitars were built by the most gifted staff of the shop.
The results exceeded expectations and became an immediate hit among players of all levels. Rapidly Eastman was established as an extremely high quality- high value, affordable arch top guitar manufacturer. It was only logical that Eastman continued to branch out into the mandolin family of instruments, various electric guitars and flat top acoustic guitars. All products have been highly regarded by players and used everywhere from homes to major concert stages internationally.
The story of Eastman does not stop with stringed instruments. In addition to fine violins, stringed instruments, guitars and mandolins, Eastman has become a major name in the band instrument business. Eastman builds woodwind and brass instruments and has continued the tradition of high quality at a low cost.
Most recently, Eastman became the owner of Haynes flutes, one of the most regarded brands ever and continues to operate that company in the tradition of Haynes. In the future you can be sure that Eastman will continue its fine tradition of craftsmanship and exceptional value in every Eastman instrument produced.

Watching TV on your Android device has never been too much of a problem. Flash support in the browser meant it was relatively easy to navigate to a catch-up TV site to stream content, or use one of the dedicated apps.
With services moving on from Flash, and Android and Adobe heading in different directions, the landscape is changing. But if you're a fan of watching TV on your Android smartphone, then today's app is pretty much essential.
- Platform
- Android
- Price
- Free
- Where
- Google Play
TVCatchup has been around for some time, a favourite over on iOS, but now making the jump to Android.
The name is perhaps the most confusing part of what is a very simple app, because it isn't a catch-up TV service. TVCatchup isn't a TV on-demand service, you can't dial up yesterday's episode of EastEnders or watch a series of Sherlock.
What TVCatchup offers you is essentially a live Freeview EPG. UK residents will be familiar with the channels it offers, as it's more or less the basic channels you'll have on your digital TV.
That means you get access to BBC, ITV, Four, Five and variations thereof, including +1 channels, Dave, and so on.
The channel guide shows you what's on now and next, you tap the channel you want and it starts streaming into your phone. That's it. Simple.
The app is ad supported and as well as a banner across the bottom of the app, you'll have an app you'll have to close before you get access to the programme you want. It's slightly irksome, but such is the reality of free apps.
We found the playback quality to be reasonable. We're not sure what the bitrate is, but it's good enough for casual watching. You need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network for it to work, but we've found the programmes are fast to start and playback was generally without fault.
There are no playback controls as this is a straight stream from the live service. The only options you have are to return to the EPG, or share what you're watching.
Choose to share with Twitter and a tweet will be pre-populated, including a plug for the app and a link, but fortunately you can edit so it says what you want.
And that, as they say, is that. It's a simple app that delivers and if you're in the UK, a fan of TV with an Android phone, you should download it now.

Has anyone been there before or how have they found the city to live and work in? It seems, from all I have read here, it is not worth signing a contract with one of the big schools before going. The idea of working 30 hours a week for 4 dollars an hour doesn't greatly appeal, when I can get four times as much in western Europe (where I live). Yet it seems to me the biggest problem then for a foreigner going to Russia, if a school isn't taking care of it, is accomodation. I have no contacts in the city and though I am learning Russian, my standard is still fairly primitive. Does anyone know what the general accomodation standard is like in Petersburg, how much an apartment might cost, where it could be found? On the net I can only find exorbitant places along Nevsky Prospect for 1000 dollars a month or so, which is way too much.

So Tragic: 7 Year Girl Murdered By Detroit Police During A Raid! "They Blew My Granddaughter's Brains Out. I Watched The Light Go Out Of Her Eyes"
"It happened in the 4000 block of Lillibridge at 12:40 Sunday morning. According to Detroit Police , officers went to the house to arrest a murder suspect, with a valid search warrant. The suspect was wanted in another crime that happened on Friday in Detroit. A 17-year-old high school student was shot and killed in front of a party store. They had reason to believe the man inside the home on Lillibridge was the gunman in that murder. Officers used a stun grenade to enter the home due to the violent nature of the original crime, which likely caused chaos and confusion. There were several people inside, including Ayanna Jones . She was sleeping on the couch. There was some sort of confrontation between a woman inside and one of the officers. The officer's gun went off, fatally wounded the girl by hitting her in the head and neck area. Ayanna was taken to Saint John's Hospital, where she was pronounced dead." - Detroit News

Ixia Travel Guide
Ixia © Paul Stephenson
Just three miles (5km) from Rhodes Town is the developed resort of Ixia with a wide range of accommodation to suit most holidaymakers' tastes. The west coast receives a constant summer breeze, which tempers the heat, and provides excellent conditions for windsurfing.
The shingle beach follows the curve of the main road with most of the tourist accommodation along the road; bathers should take care, as the waves can be a little rough. Most hotels have pools and deckchairs for those who prefer not to brave the sea.
Ixia is ideal for family holidays or an older clientele; there are only a few pubs and bars that close at midnight, but most hotels provide family entertainment programmes, and while there aren't many attractions in Ixia itself, its proximity to other resorts like Falariki and Rhodes Town means that all the amenities of a larger town are only a short taxi ride away.
Ixia is a resort town and as such has all the amenities visitors could desire, including some decent shopping opportunities. The esplanade behind the beach front is full of shops, supermarkets, bakeries, cafes and bars and this is a good street to wander looking for local food and souvenirs. If you are self-catering you shouldn't struggle to find reasonably priced groceries. As it is generally quite 'touristy' those looking to experience authentic Rhodes markets and shopping may have to travel a little further afield to one of the more traditional villages.
There are loads of restaurants, bars and cafes in Ixia - the main avenue in particular is full of places to eat out. The restaurants used to serve 'a bit of everything' in true resort style to try and accommodate tourist tastes and foreign preferences but increasingly eateries are starting to specialise in certain kinds of food, ranging from traditional Greek meals to pizza or Chinese food, and everything in between.
Ixia is not known for its nightlife and is ideal for holidaymakers who want to enjoy a quiet and relaxing beach break. However, for those who do want to party Rhodes Town and Faliraki - one of the most famous resorts for those who get feisty after dark - are very close by and easily visited.
The most impressive archaeological site near Ixia is the hill of Filerimos, where visitors can explore the remains of the Temple of Zeus and Athena Poliada, as well as the Byzantine fortifications, a 14th-century church and several other shrines. For those who want to head out on excursions Rhodes is full of exciting and fascinating places to visit.
Ixia boasts a series of adjacent beaches which are attractive but not ideal for swimming. They compensate for this by being a favourite with windsurfers and other watersports fanatics with whom the resort is popular. Some of the beaches are private and reserved for hotel guests but others are open to the public.
Ixia is a very 'touristy' resort, dominated by foreign visitors and tailored to their needs. This has some advantages but certain people may feel that the area lacks authentic Greek spirit and has been over-commercialised.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southwest Florida is hosting its second annual offshore fishing tournament to raise money for helping local families.
The Second Annual Offshore Rodeo & Reggae Party will be June 6-7 at Port Sanibel Marina and the Lighthouse Waterfront Restaurant. Anglers will launch from Port Sanibel Marina on Saturday morning at 6 a.m. to hook the top prize and have their catch served up for dinner by the Lighthouse Waterfront Restaurant.
"It's unique to our area because it's offshore," said Event Coordinator Angela Katz, explaining that anglers will be traveling miles into the Gulf of Mexico. "You see a lot of backwater tournaments and you don't see a lot offshore."
Article Photos
Volunteer Zac McBane shows off his catch at the inaugural Offshore Rodeo & Reggae Party. PHOTO PROVIDED.
Competitors, ranging from recreational to professional, will get to catch 10 different deep-water species and weigh four of the fish to receive a total combined weight.
Registration is $250 per angler which includes a guest to attend the dinner festivities.
Katz said organizers added a Kids Fishing Tournament on June 7 so children 12 and under could join in the fun. The kids event, open to the first 50 kids who pre-register for $20, starts at 10 a.m. at Port Sanibel Marina with educational stations for aspiring anglers to learn all of the techniques. A lunch and magic show with Ronald McDonald will follow the kid's tournament at 11:30 a.m.
Fact Box
To Go:
What: Second Annual Offshore Rodeo & Reggae Party
Where: Port Sanibel Marina and the Lighthouse Waterfront Restaurant, 14341 Port Comfort Road
When: June 6-7; Offshore fishing tournament at 6 a.m. and kid's tournament at 10 a.m.
Details: www.rmhcswfl.org
Both fishing tournaments will be happening simultaneously.
"They are happening at the same time so the little kids get to fish right there at the event location while the big kids are out on the deep waters," said Katz, who added that it's a chance for children not only to have fun but to learn.
Participants in the tournament will also enjoy silent and live auctions, live music, and an award ceremony. Fucillo KIA of Cape Coral donated a 2014 Kia Soul to serve as the grand prize for a $100 per ticket drawing.
Katz said that all of the money raised from the event, auction, and drawing stays locally in Southwest Florida.
"All of the proceeds benefit our local Ronald McDonald House Charities. It supports all of our programs," she said.
The organization has served more than 3,000 families in the region since 1996, with the Ronald McDonald House at HealthPark Medical Center, the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile for underprivileged children, and numerous grants and scholarships released to the community.
When the new Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida opens in 2017, it will include a brand new Ronald McDonald Family Room which will extend its services to local families with children being treated at the facility.
Interested anglers should register soon because spaces are filling up fast. For more information on the event or to register, visit www.rmhcswfl.org.

Catnip plants sold at pet shops

Catnip plants sold at pet shops
It might not be news to anybody else but I bought a pot of catnip at a pet shop and it turns out it is numerous catnip seedlings, not one plant. So I separated chunks of seedlings and planted some in my ant colonies to see how that goes (maybe roots will support tunnel walls?) and planted other chunks outside so neighborhood cats can smell it if they want. I'm not sure if the plants ever saw actual sunlight before so I put a few leaves over them so they don't get sunburned. Its not important info, but your ants or neighborhood cats might like it if you plant some. Or not.
Re: Catnip plants sold at pet shops
The Good Ants either didn't like the catnip plants in there and killed them, or they dig too much to keep them alive. The catnip in the other ones are still alive. I also sprinkled in some lettuce, carrot, swiss chard, and radish seeds to see what happens. Maybe they will sprout and stabilize the dirt a little. Or the ants will eat the seeds. Either way is okay.

Despite loss to Brockway, Lady Chucks encouraged
BROCKWAY — The scoreboard may not reflect it, but the Lady Chucks turned in an impressive performance Thursday night at Brockway, according to Punxsy head coach Kevin Hughes.
The Lady Chucks fell to the Lady Rovers 4-0, but Hughes said he was impressed with the way his team responded, especially given the fact that they were playing on Brockway's home turf—literally.
Brockway plays on field turf, which often allows for a faster game, and Hughes said he was glad to see his team pick up the pace and contend with the older Lady Rovers.
"They're pretty well stacked with seniors, and we didn't go in intimidated," Hughes said. "We were out-played, but we showed some excellent play, as well. Their coach noticed some improvements, and they expected to beat us up on the turf, but we were able to execute pretty well."
Punxsy keeper Aly Dickey allowed four goals, but Hughes said all the shots were difficult to stop, and he saw marked improvement in his goaltender.
"Aly Dickey was awesome in the net tonight," he said. "She allowed four goals, but she just keeps getting better. She's learning when to come out of the net, and her hands are just great.
"It's difficult to stop a goal that's right in front, and all their scores were inside the 18-yard mark. They were all close, and I don't believe they scored on any corners, so that's a good thing for us, too."
Hughes said the Lady Chucks were out-powered by Brockway's two best players: Juli Esposito, who scored the Lady Rovers' first two goals, and Amanda Lindemuth, who scored the last two, but he also noted that his team notched ten shots on goal, including five from senior Sierra Milton.
Emily Horner, Sydney Dubensky and Karah Hollis each recorded shots for the Lady Chucks Thursday, as well.
"They came out to play tonight," Hughes said. "They have their two primary scorers who are just tough for us to cover."
Perhaps the best news for Hughes was that his underclass players were able to step in and put in quality minutes.
"If we'd have been a bit more patient early, it might have been a better outcome, but I still have a pretty young team," he said. "After tonight, I feel more confident about where we're going, though. The younger players are stepping in and playing well."
Hughes did note that there is one area that in which his team needs continued improvement: Long kicks.
The Lady Chucks have struggled to clear their own zone this season, allowing other teams to possess the zone.
Hughes said Punxsy did well in that area Thursday night, but it is still an area they hope to continue to improve.

The last time I was in Austin was last year, for a weekend trip with my wife to see Stevie Wonder and Kanye West (on separate days) at the Austin Music Festival. My wife and I have been trying to see Stevie Wonder for over ten years, and we finally got the chance and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It's something I'll never forget, and I'd be tempted to go down there again for the ACL Festival weekend.
On that weekend we stopped by Guero's Taco Bar near the Festival and had some amazing margaritas. The food was great, and we enjoyed our time there. As I arrive in Austin on Sept 30 to get ready for SQL in the City 2012 – Austin, I'm hoping to get two things done.
- Run along the Red River
- Get some great Texas margaritas.
I arrive in Austin around 1:00pm in the afternoon and I should be able to get both done before some prep for my sessions on Oct 1.
If you're in Austin on Oct 1, come join me, Grant Fritchey (b | t), Aaron Nelson (b | t), Tim Radney (b | t) and a number of developers from Red Gate software for a free day of training – The Red Gate Way.
We had fantastic events last year in LA and London, and this year we're touring the US. Austin is stop #2 after New York and I'm looking forward to it. Red Gate throws a first class one day event, with plenty of knowledge, discussion, debate, SQL Server tips, tricks, great food and drinks. It's a great one day event, and it's free, just register to come.
We'll be at the AT&T Executive Education Conference Center and we'd love to have you come and meet us. We'll talk about things you do every day, or should be doing, in your environment. We'll give you ideas about how you can improve the way you work.
If you want to run with me, watch Twitter around the event. Once I get to the hotel on Sunday, probably around 1:30-2:00, I'll post some details on where I'll be running. Perhaps near Zilker Park around 2:30-3:00. Join me for a short 2 mi run if you're so inclined.
Register today and come shake my hand in Austin.
This is part of my SQL in the City series, covering a few thoughts on the US tour.

Drew Unit Kinro Inc. Acquires Starquest, Qualitec
August 30, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Drew Unit Kinro Inc. Acquires Starquest, Qualitec

Starquest also manufactures windows and doors for horse trailers and buses. The purchase price of $22.6 million was funded with available cash and approximately $12 million of borrowings pursuant to Drew's $50 million line of credit. Drew expects the acquisition to be immediately accretive to earnings.
"Starquest is a great company, and highly respected in its industries, with a 50% market share for windows for truck caps and an increasing share in the horse trailer market," said Fred Zinn, president and CEO for White Plains, N.Y.-based Drew. "This is an excellent opportunity to accelerate our diversification into related markets."
The key managers of Starquest have entered into employment agreements with Kinro, and will continue to manage the business. "The Starquest team has developed strong relationships throughout their industries, and we expect to build on that strength," said Jason Lippert, CEO of Kinro, and its sister company, Lippert Components Inc.. "As in our all of our businesses, management's responsiveness to the needs of our customers is the key to success."
"We are very pleased that the business we have seen thrive will continue to be managed by our outstanding team," said Kelly Rose, chairman, and Mike Schoeffler, CEO, who were the two principals of Starquest. "With the financial and strategic support that Kinro and Lippert Components can provide, we are confident that the Starquest business will continue to grow."

After the flood of Fedora Core 6 and Ubuntu 6.10 reviews, here is a review of PC-BSD 1.3 Beta. "PC-BSD has improved quite a bit and the use of its open-source PBI packaging system is a great idea. Although it obviously means there might be a minor delay in newly released products being ported over to the PBI package system, novice users will rejoice because the wait is well worth it. PC-BSD is a well oiled machine with its quick response times, even if you don't have that much memory in your system. Its implementation of a clean interface is welcomed by me and not having a 3D enabled desktop is not something I really would worry about unless you are an eye-candy lover."

(CNN) -- A fire swept through a hotel early Friday in a resort in the northern Philippines, killing six people including some U.S. citizens.
Two Americans, one South Korean and another foreigner whose nationality is yet to be established are among the dead, the owner of the hotel, David Fischer, said by phone. Authorities had initially suggested three Americans were believed to be among the dead.
Fischer said the fire began around 2 a.m. local time on the ground floor of the Dryden Hotel, which is in a nightlife district of Olongapo City, the site of a former U.S. Naval base situated west of the Philippine capital, Manila.
The flames destroyed seven bedrooms, as well as a set of offices, a communications center and a computer room, he added.
The six victims were all killed by smoke inhalation, according to Fischer, five of them in their rooms and one in the process of trying to escape.
Investigators are still looking into the cause of the blaze, but Fischer said initial signs suggested it may have been an electrical fire.
Police are trying to identify the victims' remains, as their identification documents were burned in the fire, said a local fire investigator, Jose Borlagdatan.
CNN's Brian Walker and Jessica King reported from Atlanta, Georgia. CNN's Kathy Quiano in Jakarta, Indonesia, contributed to this report.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — A judge on Friday ordered the richest man in Serbia to be held in prison for 30 days pending trial on suspicion of corruption, as the government hailed his arrest as proof that no one is above the law in the graft-plagued country.
The arrest of influential billionaire retail tycoon Miroslav Miskovic is part of an anti-corruption sweep that the new nationalist government says is necessary if the country wants to move closer to European Union membership. But critics argue the crackdown is mostly aimed at political opponents and allies of the country's previous pro-Western leadership.
Miskovic, 67, was arrested on Wednesday along with his son Marko and eight others in connection with the privatization of several Serbian road construction companies in 2005, during which the suspects allegedly gained illegal profits of about €30 million ($39 million).
The judge at Serbia's special court for organized crime ruled that Miskovic, his son and five others must remain in prison during the pre-trial investigation. The rest were freed, with their travel documents seized.
"We are now starting with the investigations," said public prosecutor for organized crime Miljko Radisavljevic. "We will try to collect as much evidence as possible."
Miskovic is the owner of Delta Holding, the largest private company in Serbia, which deals with retail, real estate, insurance and agriculture business throughout the Balkans. Though he is not openly a government opponent he has financed several pro-Western parties that are now in opposition.
He started his business empire under late strongman Slobodan Milosevic in the 1990s, when he also briefly served as deputy prime minister. But after Milosevic fell from power in 2000, Miskovic supported the new, pro-Western authorities and expanded his wealth, estimated in 2007 at some $2 billion (€1.54 billion) and believed to have grown since then.
