Space: 1889 is a role-playing game of Victorian-era space-faring, created by Frank Chadwick and originally published by Game Designers' Workshop from 1988 to 1991 and later reprinted by Heliograph, Inc. in 2000 and 2001. In February 2013 Chronicle City announced that they are working with Uhrwerk Verlag on a new English edition of Space 1889 RPG.
The name is both a parody of the television show Space: 1999 and a continuation of the GDW naming convention applied to two of its previous role-playing games, Twilight: 2000 and Traveller: 2300 (the latter of which was later renamed 2300 AD), though neither previous game had any connection to the Space: 1889 universe. The name Space: 1889 is a registered | trademark belonging to Chadwick.
The game presented an alternate history in which certain discredited Victorian scientific theories were instead found to be true and have led to the existence of new technologies. In the setting, Thomas Edison invented an "ether propeller" which could propel ships through | [

In my previous journalistic life, I was a sports columnist at a small newspaper in Alabama, and there I had an intimate look at the gnarliest, nastiest and, as it turns out, most horticulturally threatening rivalry in sports - Auburn vs. Alabama.
(Any Alabama fan reading this will instantly notice that I typed Auburn first.)
In my first month on the job, I received a call from a troubled Bama fan who had spent the previous month measuring every Auburn and Alabama photo in our newspaper. His research showed a difference of about 3 square inches, tilting toward Auburn. "I knew you favored them | !" he said. He would turn out to be only mildly rabid, comparatively.

David Brooks is Always Wrong Too: Why Does Brooks (And The Republicans) Hate Contracts So Much?
Financiers send the world into recession and don’t seem to suffer. Neighbors take on huge mortgages and then just walk away when they go underwater.
Now, I’ll have more to say about this column, as it is yet one more textbook case of bad faith, ignorance and, I’d wager, deliberate, useful error. (There’s a nastier term for that, but people of Mr. Brooks delicate constitution tend to faint when Anglo-Saxonisms slip into the discussion, so I’ll let y’all fill in the gaps.)
But here I just want to say something that seems to me so obvious that I hadn’t bothered to point it out yet. That is, the difference between the two poles of this false dichotomy lies not just in the kinds of disparities Doug points out: financiers who get rich by destroying the fabric of civilization are not quite the same as individual home-owners.*
Rather, or additionally the nature of the act committed by a financier betting | the firm (but not his compensation — see Michael Lewis’s The Big Short for blood-pressure raising details if you are interested) is fundamentally unlike that performed by a mortgage borrower dropping her or his keys.
The financier has obligations — fiduciary ones to investors, and social ones that derive from the claim that finance plays an essential role in building a prosperous society | [

MADRID — Spanish civil servants, many dressed in mourning black, took to the streets Friday in angry protest as the government approved new sweeping austerity measures that include wage cuts and tax increases for a country struggling under a recession and an unemployment rate of near 25 percent.

The Return of Christ
With all the uncertainty surrounding the 2012 phenomenon, it seems a little more fitting this year to actually focus on the second advent of Jesus Christ during... well... Advent. Virtually every Christian denomination believes in the return of Christ, although there’s disagreement on the details. Even Muslims believe that Jesus (Isa) will return to earth near the end of time (although Islam has very different beliefs than Christianity about who Jesus is.)
The Second Coming has fascinated believers since the first generation of Christians. Many of them believed that Jesus would return | during the first century. No doubt there was much eschatological rethinking as the years went by, and Christ’s prohibition against date-setting likely began to be understood in a much broader sense.
The Nicene Creed, which was adopted by the first ecumenical council in 325 AD, clearly states a belief in a future return of Christ: "He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end."

Seagate 4TB Barracuda XT First Thoughts Review
4TB hard drives are the next step up from the 3TB top capacity that the market has been used to for the last year or so. The problem is, 4TB drives haven't quite officially hit the market yet and there's the hard drive shortage problem, so the timing of 4TB drives coming to market is a bit uncertain to say the least. Seagate generally releases hard drive capacity bumps in their branded products first, before releasing the bare drive. That's the process they went through when the 3TB Barracuda XT came to market and that's the same thing they're doing with the 4TB Barracuda XT. We recently reviewed the 4TB Go Flex Desk and couldn't resist cracking the case open to get access to the 4TB Barr | acuda XT hard drive inside.
It should be said that this isn't a final review of the 4TB Barracuda XT, the bare drive hasn't been announced by Seagate yet and the final hardware and firmware may vary from the drive we so carefully removed from our Go Flex | [

This is great for those with sensitive and dry skin. This did not irritate my face nor did it dry it out. It always works very well under makeup. It has a slight yellow tint to it which I prefer over white as it can lead to a white cast but this doesn't at all. If you have oily skin this would make a good everyday sunscreen/moisturizer. But if you have dry skin you may want to add a layer of moisturizer. The downsides to this is it is pricey at about $29 (approx. don't recall exact price). Why I rate it low for me, is that although it is labelled non-comodegenic, it broke me out. I looked at the ingredient list again and saw two highly comodegenic ingredients: Cetearyl Alcohol and Cetyl Alcohol. Doing my research (as I am acne prone | ) these two ingredients are highly clogging and should avoid if acne prone. Though everyone's skin is different. This product didn't work for me, unfortunately.
I bought this sunscreen for use on the face. I needed something that would not clog my pores, was non-greasy, would not burn my skin and did not have that horrible sunscreen odour. I was very happy that it met all of the above criteria, however, the downside is that it was very drying for my skin. It is unscented, has a matte finish and does not | [

- The evolution of mating strategies in flowering plants
Trends in Plant Science, Volume 3, Issue 9, 1 September 1998, Pages 335-341
Spencer C.H. Barrett
AbstractMating strategies in flowering plants are governed by several classes of floral adaptations. Floral design and display primarily influence the quantity and quality of pollen dispersed during pollination, whereas physiological mechanisms acting in | the pistil screen pollen receipt by rejecting certain male gametophytes, especially self pollen. Selective mechanisms that influence the evolution of plant mating strategies include inbreeding depression, pollen discounting, and the optimal allocation of resources to female and male function. New insights on the origin, evolution and function of reproductive adaptations have come from integrating studies that link microevolutionary processes to macroevolutionary patterns.

The European economy grew just 0.2 percent in the third quarter as it remained plagued by the continent’s spreading fiscal crisis, according to official data released by the European Union today. The crisis has only deepened as countries have enacted massive austerity plans, forcing through widespread budget cuts that have stunted economic growth. In Spain, austerity has driven the unemployment rate to 21.5 percent.
As Europe continues its slide, the effects are sure to be felt in the United States, where the threat of a recession in 2012 is now greater than 50 percent. “It is not something that we would be insulated from,” Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said last week. “I don’t think we would be able to escape the consequences of a blow-up in Europe.”
But even with evidence that austerity is wreaking havoc on European economies, American policymakers | remain intent on following that lead. But chasing Europe down the austerity hole is only ensuring that the U.S. will experience another “great recession,” according to economists surveyed by Politico:
“To engage in austerity right now would be a great mistake,” insisted Desmond Lachman, an economist with the conservative American Enterprise Institute. “It would push the economy into a great recession.” [...]

The Sunday papers today are talking up the housing market.
But suggesting it is more than just an attempt to butter up one of their major sources of advertising, the Patron St of Taxpayers, Bernard Hickey, has joined in the spruiking.
Bernard has tended to predict savage cuts in house prices, but now he says it is time to buy. His view is based as much on the costs of rent v the costs of a mortgage and other costs associated with owning a home.
Nonetheless, the state of the economy and rising unemployment may still cause further price declines, he admits.

LET’S SPLIT – Town Councilor Ann Canedy speaks during last week’s meeting. She suggested splitting a November ballot question on creating sewer and private roads stabilization funds.
Residents of the Stewart’s Creek area in Hyannis had plenty of questions for the town council July 15, and at the end of the four-hours-plus meeting at Barnstable High School the council had a couple of questions for the town’s voters in November.
Councilors voted to ask the electorate to decide whether it would support overriding the Proposition 2½ tax levy limit to create a sewer system stabilization fund to the tune of $750,000 and, in a separate ballot question, raise an additional $3 million for a second stabilization fund for “funding, taking, layout and improvement of certain private ways as town ways.”
If passed in November, both overrides would take effect in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2011.
The council took more immediate action as well, voting to ask the state Legislature to allow Barnstable to create a sewer construction fund. The council decided to fuel that fund with a 2 percent boost in the town | ’s local occupancy excise tax on accommodations and a.75 increase in the local meals tax. Those two taxes will be effective Oct. 1 of this year.

The trade winds are a pattern of wind found in bands around the Earth's equatorial region. The trade winds are the prevailing winds in the tropics, blowing from the high-pressure area in the horse latitudes towards the low-pressure area around the equator. The trade winds blow predominantly from the northeast in the northern hemisphere and from the southeast in the southern hemisphere.
Their name comes from the fact that these winds enabled trading ships to sail in two directions between Europe and the Americas: the ships could sail a southern route with the trade winds westward from Europe to the Americas, then head north to the middle latitudes and sail with the westerlies eastward from the Americas back to Europe.
In the zone between about 30° N. and 30° S., the surface air flows toward the equator and the flow aloft is poleward. A low-pressure area of calm, light variable winds near the equator is known to mariners as the doldrums. Around 30° N. and S., the poleward flowing air begins to descend toward the surface in subtropical high-pressure belts. The sinking air is relatively dry because its moisture has already been released near the Equator above the tropical rain | forests. Near the center of this high-pressure zone of descending air, called the "Horse Latitudes," the winds at the surface are weak and variable. The name | [

Three ways to improve Gmail
Because it’s free, easy to use, offers tons of storage space, and has a wide range of features, Google’s Gmail is one of the most popular e-mail providers. Thanks to Google Apps, you can even use it with your own domain name. But if you’re still using the plain, uncustomized version of Gmail, you’re missing out on some fantastic capabilities. Here are my three favorite ways to improve Gmail.
1. Access it via IMAP
As Webmail goes, Gmail is pretty good—but I still prefer to access my mail using a full-featured desktop client such as Apple Mail. You can use either POP or IMAP protocols to get at your Gmail account, but of the two, I find IMAP much more flexible and convenient.
To enable IMAP, log in to your Gmail account, click on the Settings link at the top, click on the Forwarding And POP/IMAP link, select Enable IMAP, and click on Save Changes | . You can then click on the Configuration Instructions link to learn how to set up your favorite e-mail client to access Gmail via IMAP. (To learn more about the ins and outs of using Gmail via IMAP with Mail, see “Achieving E-mail Bliss with IMAP, Gmail, and Apple Mail”.)

Front Street Blockhouse
Support provided by:
When a young couple in Schenectady, New York purchased their dream house in the town's historic district, they believed their home was built for a middle class family in the late 19th century, like all other homes in their neighborhood.
But four mysterious stone walls visible in the attic have led them to believe otherwise. Did this house once guard against enemy attacks during the tense years of the French and Indian Wars - nearly 300 years ago?
History Detectives determines whether this unassuming structure may have helped ensure the survival of the town of Schenectady, a 17th- and 18th-century vanguard Dutch outpost, as it fought France and her Indian allies for control of the lucrative fur trade.

Pinnacol: John Hickenlooper's John Cevette appointment could put a good fox in henhouse
Pinnacol Assurance, the quasi-public workers' compensation insurance fund, dodged a bullet last year when the legislature backed off on a proposed $500 million raid of its reserves to help fill budget gaps. But now Governor John Hickenlooper has nominated a critic to the Pinnacol board who'll be the proverbial fox in the henhouse -- proving himself to be crazy like a fox.
In exchange for agreeing to act as the agency of last resort for companies seeking workers' comp insurance, Pinnacol (subject of the 2003 Westword feature "Adding Insult to Injury") is exempt from state taxes; the governor governor also appoints the members of Pinnacol's board. That's been about the extent of the state's oversight -- until CEO Ken Ross threw a very public temper tantrum last year on the golf course at Pebble Beach, when KMGH reporter Tony Kovaleski asked him why Pinnacol was spending $ | 318,000 on the junket. Ross's over-the-top response suddenly put Pinnacol in the spotlight.
Yesterday, the focus was again on Pinnacol's bad behavior, when a state Senate committee considered the proposed appointments of businessman Blair Richardson, who'd been nominated by Governor Bill Ritter, attorney John Plotkin and Senate Majority staffer John Cevette. After they vowed to skip the expensive perks, all three passed committee, with only state senator Shawn Mitchell voting against Cevette.

ALAS: the Missile ComethFeb 20, 2013 15:02 UTC by Defense Industry Daily staff
The usefulness of over the horizon light precision strike weapons is becoming clear to navies, recently became clear to land forces, and was always clear to air forces. Serbia’s Yugoimport has been working on an “Advanced Light Attack System” missile that builds on their rocket and turbojet expertise, but they needed a financial backer to develop their low-cost solution. In 2013, an agreement with the UAE’s EAI secured that backing, in exchange for joint development.
The missile is an interesting product definition case, which seems to aim at a low-cost, non-western niche in the naval and helicopter markets. At sea, it could be | a strong step forward to address an emerging requirement for all navies.

Already becoming well-known to audiences at the London Coliseum and Covent Garden, he recently made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera singing Gunther in Götterdämmerung for James Levine and he will return to Salzburg and New York and sing major roles in Paris, Munich and Houston.

Some interesting stuff I’m reading:
Schopenhauer, in The World as Will and Representation, has a chapter on The Metaphysics of Sexual Love, and remarks how strange it is that love ceaselessly occupies people’s thoughts, interests and readings, and yet has gone relatively unexamined from a philosophical point of view. He brands as naive Spinoza’s view that love is merely pleasure associated with an external object, and I’m inclined to agree. For Schopenhauer, it’s all about matter propagating itself, the temporary unity of lovers’ feeling reflecting the unity of the yet unborn child. Strong mutual attraction, he says, is related to | the suitability of the characteristics of the future child from the point of view of the species, and has nothing to do with personal lifelong compatibility. Not a cheerful guy.
Money, the other topic of people’s relentless focus, is a mystery, too. Where does it come from and what is its real purpose and how much does an economy need? Forty economists were recently quoted as saying that a return to the gold standard is ridiculous, and that money ought to be controlled according to economic principles (though I don’t think the forty agree on what those are). Ben Bernanke has said gold is NOT a form of money | [

The Mississippi Supreme Court stayed the execution of Willie Jerome Manning, who was scheduled to die Tuesday night at 6 at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman.
Manning was convicted in 1994 of killing two Mississippi State students in front of the campus’ Sigma Chi fraternity house.
Justices voted 8-1 to issue the stay. Justice Michael Randolph, of Hattiesburg, dissented.
Randolph was critical of the court’s decision, writing that Manning had failed to comply with the statutory requirements attached to his claim that DNA testing on a hair found in one of the victim’s cars could possibly exonerate him. Randolph took particular issue with letters submitted with the hair analysis from the U.S. Department of Justice that were unsigned.
“The letters challenge not only former FBI experts in hair, but also ballistics. Our established law and justice require more,” Randolph wrote in his opinion.
Randolph also pointed out what he felt were discrepancies in one of the DOJ letters, which said mitochondrial DNA testing became routine in 2000. Randolph | cited an article published by the DOJ in 1999 that said the testing became routine in 1992, and would have been available for Manning’s 1994 trial, if he had asked that it be done.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Raiders defensive tackle Tommy Kelly sat at his locker, head in his hands, unsure what to make of his team's resounding 35-13 defeat to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
Kelly asked for a few minutes to compose his thoughts. Even then, he said, he still wasn't certain how the Dolphins turned a 10-7 deficit midway through the third quarter into a laugher.
"I just did not expect this," Kelly said. "We had a great week of practice, everybody looked focused, we came in at halftime and had the lead. I just don't know where the wheels fell off."
The tide turned on a third-and-1 play, when Dolphins running back Reggie Bush bounced off strong safety Tyvon Branch at the line of scrimmage, ran through arm tackles of free safety Michael Huff and cornerback Shawntae Spencer and into the end zone for a 23-yard touchdown.
Ten plays later, Bush burst through the left side of the line, toward the sideline and outsprinted Branch, Huff and cornerback Joselio Hanson for a 65-yard touchdown | .

Problem structuring in decision-making processes
This contribution presents insights on problem structuring based on a literature review and experiences from a case study. Another deliberation tool aimed to involve stakeholders in a decision-making process is described in the Stakeholder analysis section.
Complex, unstructured problems
Water management issues are typical examples of complex problems. They are part of a natural and human system (Kolkman 2005) which consist of many diverse, interdependent elements e.g. upstream events influence the water system downstream, different interdependent government layers manage the water system, and multiple stakeholders use the water system (see e.g. Geldof 2001, Natural variability in Coastal Ecosystems and The state of the art of public participation in Europe). If problems are part of a complex natural and social system, they are often unstructured. Complex, unstructured problems are characterized by: uncertain knowledge, disagreement about normative elements (e.g. values, norms | or objectives) and disagreement about cognitive elements (e.g. research or information) (Van de Graaf and Hoppe 1996; Hisschemöller and Hoppe 2001). A problem results from an observed gap between a normative yardstick and an existing or expected situation. Problems are thus not objective givens, but social constructs (Dery 1984; Van de Graaf and Hoppe 1996). Actors may disagree about a problem because they behold divergent perceptions.

Recently I received a call from a reader who wanted my opinion on whether it was better to use a large broker, say a Merrill Lynch, over a specialized futures broker, considering what happened to Peregrine Financial Group (PFG).
I couldn’t give him a recommendation, but I did tell him that many of the changes being implemented by the National Futures Association (NFA) would — hopefully — prevent another PFG from happening, and in fact, the electronic check of daily seg fund balances was the key to PFG CEO Russ Wasendorf’s downfall. That said, I told him to get to know the broker, visit the firm, review audits, check out complaints... and that applies to both big and small firms. I reminded him that MF Global, the first major black eye for the industry, was a large firm — so size doesn’t always matter. Leadership does. I also said that in the PFG case, although there were warning signs the NFA should have seen, | Wasendorf was determined to commit fraud.
This call happened about the time the Berkeley Research Group “Report of Investigation” on the NFA’s audit procedure of PFG and subsequent recommendations was released. The study makes for a good read (go to futuresmag.com for report). | [

"Of course he didn't," I persisted, refusing to be ignored. This was the third letter she'd written today! "Daddy never | does know what he's saying, which is why I love him. But honestly, that's what his letter said--‘I do hope you can meet Colonel Lindbergh. He's so down to earth!'?"
"Well, Daddy is quite taken with the colonel...."

Mark Morris's marvelous production of Orfeo ed Euridice resonates slyly with the history of opera. In the first version of Orfeo (1762), Christoph Willibald Gluck and librettist Ranieri Calzabigi broke with the conventions of baroque opera in order to fuse poetry, music, and dance in ways that would serve the story rather than show off vocal pyrotechnics. Their Orfeo's voice is first heard when he breaks through the mourning chorus with a single ringing, heartbroken cry to his dead beloved: "Euridice!" The opera set an example for later composers.

How to Resolve Conflict
Express your concerns rather than your solutions. Before you meet with the other person, think how to state your concern in a non-threatening way. For example: "I am concerned about our shared use of the easement." is less threatening than: "I want you to keep your car off the easement.“
Express your needs. Help others understand why you are asking for the change and they are more likely to accommodate you. "It’s important to me to exit my driveway quite early in the morning."
Our services are free, voluntary and confidential for the Bellevue community.
Encourage | the other person to tell you his or her point of view. Realistic and durable solutions accommodate everyone’s needs, so ask others to express their point of view: "What are your needs with the easement?“

Willing, Ch. 7

"Hey, wake up honey, it's time to go," I gently nudged Virginia. As my pregnant, lesbian lover, I naturally wanted her to experience a gentle awakening on her first day as my 'trucker helper'. As you know (if you've read the previous chapters), everything that happened previously on the truck, occurred before we discovered that we were in love with each other.
"Huh," she mumbled. "What?" She stirred in the crumpled bed sheets, her body warm next to mine.
"It's time to hit the road, sweetheart," I said, sitting up in bed next to her delightfully naked body. "You remember, we talked about it." My fingers toyed with her wavy, brown hair.
"But, it's so dark" she pleaded.
"Well, yeah....it's 2 AM," I said. "We've got a ten hour trip to Atlanta, and I want to miss the morning traffic here in Fort Smith, and the PM traffic in Atlanta." I hesitated. "You could stay here, if you'd like, this house is as much yours as it is mine as far as that goes." I hoped she'd | say no. I didn't want to be separated from her, not even for a few minutes.

Yes. I am under suspicion about the carb now. As for the stumbling, here is an example. The entrance to my driveway has a street drain that runs across it so it is sort of dished. When the car is acting up, if I go over this dip...at any speed... the car begins to stumble and it is very difficult to keep running.

Pay per click (PPC) (also called Cost per click) is an Internet advertising model used to direct traffic to websites, where advertisers pay the publisher (typically a website owner) when the ad is clicked. With search engines, advertisers typically bid on keyword phrases relevant to their target market.
Content sites commonly charge a fixed price per click rather than use a bidding system. PPC "display" advertisements are shown on web | sites or search engine results with related content that have agreed to show ads. This approach differs from the "pay per impression" methods used in television and newspaper advertising.
In contrast to the generalized portal, which seeks to drive a high volume of traffic to one site, PPC implements the so-called affiliate model, that provides purchase opportunities wherever people may be surfing. It does this by offering financial incentives (in the form of a percentage of revenue) to affiliated partner sites. The affiliates provide purchase-point click-through to the merchant. It is a pay-for-performance model: If an affiliate does not generate sales, it represents no cost to the | [

MONTPELIER — Both the Shumlin administration and Entergy Nuclear have finally agreed on something — next week’s hearings on the relicensing of the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant should go ahead as planned.
In comments filed Wednesday with the Public Service Board, both the Department of Public Service and Entergy Nuclear said the postponement — suggested by the New England Coalition last week — would cause “enormous inconvenience on the board, the parties and the witnesses,” in the words of Entergy attorney John H. Marshall, of the law firm of Downs Rachlin Martin, one of three law firms representing Entergy in the case.
Marshall wrote that Entergy and other parties to the Public Service Board case had been “engaged in substantial preparation for the technical hearing. These efforts will have been wasted if NEC now succeeds in having the technical hearing stayed.”
The state agreed.
“The Board should not suspend these proceedings pending the resolution of Entergy’s appeal. It is exceedingly unlikely that a decision in Entergy | ’s appeal will moot these proceedings,” wrote Geoff Commons, director of public advocacy for the Department of Public Service, the state agency that acts as the public’s advocate in such cases.
“The small risk of such an outcome must be weighed against the certainty that a stay would waste the efforts of the Board and the parties in preparing for next week’s technical hearing.”

Oakland, Calif. Nike, Starbucks, Sun Microsystems, Levi Strauss & Co. and The Timberland Co. have partnered with Ceres to create a business coalition, dubbed Business for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy, (BICEP) that will lobby Washington for swift and stringent climate-change legislation.

The new group plans to flex its muscles for aggressive new environmental policies based on the following eight principles:

They started by turning to the same pair of genius engineers who created the original back in 1978 who meticulously rebuilt the MS-20 component by component, keeping it as true to the original as possible, while making minor tweaks where they felt necessary.
For instance, the oscillators Korg used in the MS-20 mini, are spot on, as are the LFOs, VCAs, and the filter section, which is the original first-generation design - nice and gritty, and capable of self oscillation.

Hopes dashed for NHL labor deal
No imminent agreement, no further talks planned
Like watching a goal that slams the back of the net that is later called off, National Hockey League fans experienced elation followed quickly by sharp disappointment -- and, as has been the case nearly two months, none of this action happened on the ice.
NHL Players' Association executive director Donald Fehr voiced rare optimism Thursday that the the league's lockout of its players may finally end after what he described as significant progress in talks with owner representatives.
"We believe that, with the exception of the transition issues that have not been discussed, that we have a complete agreement on dollars," Fehr said.
But a few minutes later, he returned to the podium at the Westin Hotel in New York | 's Times Square with grimmer news.
An official from the league, Fehr said, had left a voice mail indicating the "moves the players made were not acceptable" and that there was no imminent agreement and no further talks were planned.
A short time later, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman gave a drastically different account. Shooting down Fehr's claim that the players had moved the most on issues such as contracts, pensions, the length of the collective bargaining agreement and more, he said it was the owners who had "made substantial movement."
