Ex-Lacrosse Player Sues Duke, Instructor Over Failing Grade
An ex-Duke lacrosse player has sued the university and an instructor, claiming that he received an F because he was a member of the team.
DURHAM, N.C. — A former Duke University lacrosse player sued the university and a former instructor Thursday, alleging that she unfairly gave him a failing grade because he was a member of the team.
Kyle Dowd graduated in May 2006, two months after a woman said she was raped at a lacrosse team party.
The allegations set off a tumultuous few weeks in Durham, with almost daily protests by people who criticized lacrosse team members for a pattern of rowdy behavior.
Dowd's lawsuit alleges that visiting professor Kim Curtis gave him an F in a politics and literature class that nearly prevented him from graduating, even though he had earned passing grades on his assignments to that point.
Dowd and his parents, Patricia and Benjamin Dowd, are asking for a total of $60,000 in punitive and compensatory damages.
"I wanted to prevent such occurrences from happening to another student at Duke," Kyle Dowd told WRAL Thursday night. "I didn't want to see another professor further their political agenda by maliciously hurting another student."
Curtis could not be reached for comment Thursday evening. A Duke University spokesman said he could not comment because he had not seen the lawsuit. Dowd's attorney, Joseph Zeszotarski of Raleigh, was unavailable for an interview Thursday evening.
According to the lawsuit, only one other person in the 40-student class, another lacrosse player, received an F.
"Defendant Curtis engaged in extreme outrageous and unethical conduct ... due to personal bias and prejudice," the lawsuit says.
According to the lawsuit, Curtis told Dowd he received a failing grade for participation because he had not attended class and because he made wrong statements in a paper without backing them up.
The lawsuit later says that the university told Dowd that Curtis gave him the F was because he had "confused the characters from the book which was the subject of the paper."
The lawsuit claims Dowd missed six out of 30 classes — one an excused absence for a lacrosse match and the other five resulting because of the criminal investigation involving the lacrosse team.
Each time, according to the lawsuit, Dowd had sent an e-mail to Curtis informing her about his absence.
The lawsuit also states that Curtis, a visiting assistant professor at the time who specialized in political theory and feminist theory, was listed in support of an advertisement in The Duke Chronicle, a campus paper, that sympathized with the alleged victim.
It also states that Curtis also sent an e-mail to students in her class letting them know that she was available to talk about "how this is affecting you, what we should do as a community, etc."
Dowd appealed the grade, and the university changed it to a D, citing a calculation error. He and his parents ask in the lawsuit for the grade to be changed to a "P" for passing.
Lacrosse players Collin Finnerty, Reade Seligmann and Dave Evans still face charges of sexual offense and kidnapping in the case. Rape charges were dropped last month after the accuser wavered in her account of key details in the case.
The next pretrial hearing is scheduled for Feb. 5.

Who will replace Chicago, Styx, and Toto on the summer county fair circuit when no original members remain? A nation's lonely eyes turn to the '90s. While grunge has kept medical examiners busy, many onetime indie rockers are still kicking — if they can be lured away from their slacker slumber.
"Someone has to fill those amphitheatres," cracks Pavement guitarist Spiral Stairs, aka Scott Kannberg. "REO Speedwagon and Yes will be dead."
Potential classic rock replacement Kannberg ended an eight-year recording hiatus in March with Doris and the Daggers, the follow-up to 2009's breakup album The Real Feel. Pavement reunited in 2010 for a year of intermittent touring, and afterward Kannberg joined his new wife in Australia, her native home. There he spent the next several years on the beach, mowing the lawn, and mostly just hanging out, not even making music.
However as the children reached school age, the family heard America calling. Back in Los Angeles, Kannberg's musical juices began percolating. He planned to bang out an album of garage rock nuggets quick and dirty in under a week before the sudden death of longtime collaborator, 39-year old drummer Darius Minwalla (Posies).
"That kind of threw me for a loop and in six months or so I started writing other types of songs, and then I was just like, 'I can't still do a garage rock record,'" Kannberg recalls from his new home in Mérida, Mexico. (Los Angeles proved too expensive; who knew?)
He bounced some ideas off his friend Kelley Stoltz, who plays guitar on the breezy track "AWM," and enlisted the help of Broken Social Scene drummer Justin Peroff. His bandmate Kevin Drew also lends a hand (vocals on "Emoshuns"), and the National's Matt Berninger sings on "Exiled Tonight."
"I called up all my friends; 'I need help guys,'" Kannberg laughs. It was a hootenanny. "Some people were just starting AA, others were like on a 10-day bender. It was like The Gong Show! It was hard to have to keep it together and have to push one way, now the other way."
The result is an alternately catchy, slightly woolly album with debts to the '80s and art rock. Early tracks like "Emoshuns" and "No Comparison" ride punchy rhythms and throwback synths recalling acts like Echo and the Bunnymen and the Wedding Present. The second half turns more psychedelic, evoking the stylish baroque sway of Roxy Music, particularly on numbers like "Trams (Stole My Love)" and "Angel Eyes."
"My favorite records are where you can only sit through a side of a record at a time," Kannberg offers, flashing his old school roots. "When I sequence a record I try to think of it that way. You have 15 to 20 minutes to kind of sit with something, so the first side is very much kind of a happier vibe and then it gets into kind of more personal and a little more into issues."
When Pavement first broke up, Kannberg initially founded a band called Preston School of Industry. When it came time to put out The Real Feel, using the moniker Spiral Stairs felt more appropriate, as it was more of a solo effort, as well as a reflection on moving away from his old band's approach.
"The early Preston stuff was more rooted in my Pavement songwriting thing, where it's like, 'Oh here's a riff, I'm just going to work around it,'" he explains. "Now that I'm a lot older, I still have those kinds of songs. But you know, the other kinds of songs interest me a little more."
This isn't to suggest displeasure or even boredom with those old songs. Indeed, Kannberg plays several Pavement tracks in his set. He's never been particularly precious about his legacy.
"The legacy thing, yeah I'm totally comfortable. I've always been comfortable with it," he says. "I'm pretty thankful that people have liked my bands and there is nothing wrong with celebrating that. Like, fuck, you're 50; in 10 years people might not even know who you are."
We talk about the Replacements' Paul Westerberg, and Kannberg suggests it's perhaps different being the guitarist rather than the frontman, the one everyone's looking at, always expected to be "on."
"The other day, someone asked why Malkmus came off as a jerk, and I was like, I don't think he was a jerk. It's just that being a frontman is a lot of stress and sometimes people deal with it in different ways," he says. "I don't think you try to be one, it's just that sometimes you come off as one because of nerves."
But time has a way of softening the hardest attitudes. The members of Pavement have already discussed reuniting again in the next couple years, as "the 2010 reunion was pretty fun for everyone in the band, even Malkmus."
In the meantime, Kannberg's excited to get back out on tour and start releasing music at a more regular clip.
"That's my attitude with the digital world: Nobody is telling you that you can't release a song. You can put out three records in a year. Some people will care and some people will go, 'That's too much,' but at least you're doing something," Kannberg says. "You're 50. You might as well try to do it while you can."
Spiral Stairs plays Third Man Records with Outrageous Cherry on Tuesday, June 20; doors at 7:30 p.m.; 441 W. Canfield St., Detroit; thirdmanstore.com; $12.

The most compelling personal memoirs -- Tobias Wolff's This Boy's Life, Mary Karr's The Liars' Club, and others -- are not happy stories. They are recollections of childhood adversity, and rarely are they triumphant survivors' tales. The most honest of these remembrances are accounts of the lingering scars and damage done.
And damage is done. Scientists have thoroughly documented the pernicious effects of traumatic childhood events, right down to the cellular level. The young brain is highly vulnerable to all sorts of stress, and study after study has shown that childhood troubles can skew the development of key neural networks involved in emotional stability.
But most of these studies have focused on extreme childhood trauma -- physical and psychological abuse, even institutionalization -- and the neurological consequences for older children and adults. What about very young kids, who might be experiencing less extreme forms of adversity, including parental discord? Household turmoil and angry conflict may be less alarming than the extremes of maltreatment, but they are presumably more common experiences. Is there a threshold for what's damaging to the developing infant's mind and brain?
A new study suggests that even moderate levels of household conflict can alter basic brain function in infants, leaving them hypersensitive to negative emotions. Even more startling, it appears that even the deep privacy of sleep cannot protect our youngest children from battling mothers and fathers.
University of Oregon psychological scientist Alice Graham and her colleagues decided to look inside the sleeping brains of 6- to 12-month-old children, to see how they process angry arguments in the home. To simulate this common kind of domestic conflict in the lab, she recruited infants for an fMRI study, conducted at their normal bedtime. The infants' families represented a range of parental conflict, from serious discord to relative harmony, but there was no documented child abuse in any of the homes.
Once the babies were sleeping, a male adult spoke nonsense sentences in a variety of tones, from irate to happy and neutral. Graham recorded activity is brain regions known for processing stress and emotion. She wanted to see if chronic family conflict made infants more likely to have abnormal brain responses to angry speech.
They did. As described in a forthcoming issue of the journal Psychological Science, infants from discordant families showed more neural activity in response to anger than to emotionally neutral speech in the brain's rostral anterior cingulated cortex, caudate, thalamus, and hypothalamus. These regions are all associated in one way or another with the processing and regulation of stress and emotion, but notably, the scientists did not target these regions for study. Instead, they scanned the whole brains of the sleeping infants, and these scans revealed abnormal activity in these clusters of neurons.
Incidentally, this fMRI study also turned up novel evidence about how the infant brain processes emotion in general, regardless of their family situation. It appears that babies as young as 6 months old differentiate happy and angry speech, even while they appear to be sound asleep. They may appear oblivious to the nighttime world of adults, but in fact they are exquisitely tuned in. Babies are completely dependent on caregivers, and this vulnerability renders them vigilant to even the most subtle disruptions of household harmony and safety.

On the occasion of his mother's death, well-known gangland identity and incarcerated dugong Carl Williams has placed a touching death notice in Melbourne's Herald Sun, in which he quotes from Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me".
I think this probably shows our common humanity. Just because somebody is a mass murderer and druglord, doesn't mean he can't appreciate heartwarming balladry or powerful female vocal stylings.
We saw a similar case in Robert Trimbole's love of Gloria Estefan.
"You were my voice when I couldn't speak and strength when I was weak," Carl wrote. Presumably he is, indeed, as Dion sang, everything he is, because she loved him. Which is probably why she killed herself.
It's a sort of tragic footnote to the gangland war; we thought we had seen the last of violent bogans killing each other. Who knew they'd start killing themselves?

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1st John 4:8 NIV
Daybreak found a small group of friends climbing up into the Southern Californian hills on their mountain bikes. They rode shoulder to shoulder up steep fire-break roads to the top of a canyon enjoying each other´s company. After a quick break to take in the beautiful scenery, they hit the trail they had come to ride together. The single track dropped into the steep walls of the canyon and followed they dry stream bed back down the hills and into the haze of the valley below. The bikes quickly picked up speed as the rode in single file. It was not long and the leader took a turn too wide and came tumbling back down onto the trail. Not long after that each of the others had their turn at tumbling. At times, one would cause the other behind them to fall as there was no time for them to stop or any way to avoid them on the narrow path. What ways have we experienced that our God is Love?
The friends enjoyed the drop so much that they hurried back up the hill to ride the trail all over again. God is love! He loves us! This is one of the most significant discoveries available to mankind. But the significance does not stop there. Because God is love, wherever true unselfish love is found, God is there. The Lord is here with us and loving us in every beautiful sunrise or sunset. He is here in every hug, every shared special moment, and in every warm smile. So, if we get the chance to do something we love with someone we love, or if we only get to remember a moment that we did, shall we thank our Heavenly Father for all the love we have in our lives?
Dear Lord,
Thank You for showing us so much love! Let us recognize Your love all around and go on to share it too, we pray!

Wealthy people acting for tax justice
Two years ago, a group of 50 wealthy Germans called on Angela Merkel's government to rethink its taxation policies. Currently the richest Germans are taxed a maximum of 42%. The previous chancellor, Gerhard Schröder, lowered the top tax rate from the 53% ceiling set by his predecessor, Helmut Kohl.
The German group, Vermögende für eine Vermögensabgabe (The Wealthy for a Capital Levy) is the latest manifestation of a feeling among some well-off individuals that the spare cash in their bank accounts might be able to ease, if not solve, the financial crises threatening to cripple their countries.
"None of us are in Buffett's or Bettencourt's league," said the founder, Dieter Lehmkuhl, a retired doctor with assets of €1.5m (£1.3m). "We're a broad church – teachers, doctors, entrepreneurs. Most of our wealth is inherited. But we have more money than we need."
Lehmkuhl explains:
"I would say to Merkel that the answer to sorting out Germany's financial problems, our public debt, is not to bring in cuts, which will disproportionately hit poorer people, but to tax the wealthy more"
"Something needs to be done to stop the gap between rich and poor getting even bigger."
However, all is not rosy on this front. For example:
Last week in France Nicolas Sarkozy proposed a similar idea: a temporary tax on the very rich. This would arrive in the form of an "exceptional contribution" of 3% on taxable earnings for those earning above €500,000. It will probably only last until 2013.
The initiative has been attacked as an empty stunt before it has even kicked in – even by some in his own party. The left deemed it a smokescreen to hide the fact that Sarkozy has given away billions of euros in tax breaks to the rich while this new measure will yield only €200m. Chantal Brunel, an MP for Sarkozy's own ruling rightwing UMP party, said that there must be higher permanent tax levels for "big fortunes" because "the rich must participate more".
Whilst we applaud the call by wealthy people to pay higher taxes, and we are certain that many amongst them have a genuine intent for good, there may be questions to ask of some. We find it curious, for example, that Warren Buffett has just injected US$ 5 billion into the struggling Bank of America, when this bank is a prime culprit in the tax dodging business. Also, in France, Liliane Bettencourt has been accused of hiding funds offshore to evade taxes in a story connected with political scandal.
However, as said, we are encouraged that some rich people genuinely want to do the right thing. Since proponents of the secrecy system for tax "minimisation" purposes tend to be wealthy and internationally connected, we find it heartening that there are those with wealth who are forming a movement, around the globe, to act for tax fairness.
So far, we're hearing calls coming from France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the USA - we will be glad to hear news of more.

Carefully selected producers from Western European countries
Our product portfolio contains only quality products, which are made by following very high standards throughout the whole production process. We cooperate only with manufacturers who have years of experience in production, product development and research. In that way, we can be certain of offering products of the same quality as those offered by internationally renowned large corporations.
Range of 1,000+ Morek brand products
It is important for every customer to use their time efficiently and concentrate on their main activity. We have compiled our portfolio in such a way that it represents the entire product range of cable connectors, and also accommodates the most specified expectations. Therefore, the portfolio includes more than 1,000 items and the number continues to grow.
Since we are sure of the quality of the offered products, we have assembled them all under the Morek quality brand. Selling products under our own brand name provides our guarantee that the supplied product meets the highest quality standard.
Certificates, declarations issued to/by Morek Group
In addition to quality, it is also essential that the products are safe and meet the criteria of existing regulations and standards. In our product range, you find items for which certifications have been issued by internationally acknowledged certification bodies such as UL, FIMKO and Lloyd's.
CE and RoHS declarations of conformity are self-evident keywords in the case of our product portfolio.
Morek brand products offered at a good price-quality ratio
The Morek Group companies are represented in 6 different countries so we have a permanent overview of the product range offered on our home markets and the price range. We have direct contact with different manufacturers and considerable purchase volume for bulk purchases. As a result, we can offer our customers products that are always above the average in terms of quality offered on the market while at reasonable prices. Our entire product portfolio is compiled by considering such price and quality criteria.
Innovative approach
For us, innovation begins with seemingly small things.
On the one hand, it is everything that makes the customers life easier, e.g. placing a product order that is faster and simpler in comparison with what is usually offered on the market, or a quickly navigable product catalogue.
On the other hand, it is the products offered to the customers that differ from what is available in a standard range.
We also offer tailor-made solutions, which take into account the requirements of a particular customer and are especially produced at the plant for them. We have also added some products to the portfolio that consider both the market demands and what the customers may not know to ask for, yet which make their basic work easier and save time, installation space and money (e.g. universal terminals OTL, insulated copper flexibars Moflex, gel joints Break, multigates, OTH 240 terminals, etc.)
Our manufacturing plants have the required competence, flexibility and production capacity for testing and manufacturing special orders over many decades.
Timely deliveries
Our central warehouses are located in Estonia, Lithuania and Czech Republic. Goods can be shipped from any of these warehouses. Depending on the destination location, the express delivery time can be 24 h or even a couple of hours. Thereby, we ensure that the customers will get their goods exactly by the time they need them.
Quick claim settlement
We respond to all our customers' possible claims as promptly as possible.. Unlike large corporations, we are able to solve technical problems with products very quickly because there are few management levels in our organisation – communication between different countries and employees takes place quickly and directly, and a production specialist of whatever product is always only a maximum of two contacts away from the customer.
Continuous representation at exhibitions
Following new market trends, getting an overview of competitors' activities, receiving feedback on products and meeting suppliers and customers in order to find new, innovative and suitable solutions are only a few keywords of what our aims are at international professional exhibitions. That is why we consider participation at these exhibitions to be extremely important. Our booth can be found at major fairs in the field of electrotechnics such as Amper Fair in Czech Republic, Energetab in Poland, SähköTeleValo in Finland and soon also at Hannover Messe in Germany.
The promise
One of the fundamental principles of the company's operation is the promise that all the employees know the basis on which the products are selected and the services are designed. According to this, the customer can make their most important choice – whether the products and services of this company are for them or not.
Our promise is that Morek brand products are quality products.
Since this is the foundation of our business success, we never compromise on that.
Service staff of dedicated persons
We are a sales company that is a partner to its customers. Being a good partner for us primarily means understanding the needs of different market segments and providing services/products to those customers for whom we can create more value than our direct competitors. Successful sales promotion for us includes several activities that we engage in both pre-sale and post-sale to ensure customer satisfaction and long-term customer relations.
The entire Morek Group staff is committed to working every day to attain these objectives. We know that this is the only way for both our customers and ourselves to be successful.
Steady growing over the years
Morek Group has steadily grown every year since its establishment. The growth has occurred during the construction sector boom as well as the global recession. Today, we are represented in Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Czech Republic. Steady growth will also continue in the coming years.
Credit rating amongst the TOP 16% companies in Estonia
Invoices paid on time, sufficient amount of products in the warehouses, timely paid salaries, tools suitable for the employees, etc. – all these things require the availability of sufficient circulating capital. Morek IT OÜ, the parent company of Morek Group, has an AA credit rating which places it among the TOP 16% of companies in Estonia.
Conflict minerals policy
Morek Group supports the goal of ending violence, human rights violations and environmental devastation in the DRC. We comply with any requirements applicable to our Group under the US "Conflict Minerals" rules and will follow EU law under "Conflict Minerals" regulation as soon as it will be confirmed.
18 years of experience in electrotechnical field
Today, Morek Group includes 7 companies in 9 different European countries. The founding company – Morek IT OÜ – was established at the beginning of 2004 in Estonia. The higher education in the field of electrical engineering and previous relevant long-term professional experience of the enterprise founders facilitated the company's successful start-up and rapid growth. Today, we are a very strong experience-based group that has field-specific experience of 16 years.

during the Philippine Telecoms Summit Press Briefing on February 22, 2017.
"The consensus among all players is to work on concrete solutions. It will not be a blame game. This way, we will be able to move forward and fast track ICT," shared Eric De Los Reyes, Chairman of the Philippine Chamber of Telecommunications Operators (PCTO), during the Press Briefing of the first ever Philippine Telecoms Summit. Held at Via Mare Restaurant, on February 22, 2017, the media briefing was attended by heads of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and PCTO, and representatives from Globe Telecom and Smart Communications.
PCTO, in partnership with DICT and the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), brings together the Telecommunications Industry's stakeholders, comprising of government agencies and regulators, industry players, experts, and consumers in one event to address the problems and issues surrounding the state of Telecommunications in the country today.
The PH Telecoms Summit will address three main concerns: Cost, Coverage, and Speed of telecommunication services in the country, and how these can be fixed with the cooperation of all stakeholders. Representatives from the different interest groups will be given the opportunity to deliver their concerns and establish dialogue with all the participants. DICT Secretary Rodolfo A. Salalima promises that the Summit will be a no-holds-barred discussion; "I want the problems and challenges all out during the Summit, because if not, we will not know how to find a solution," he added during the Briefing.
"The problem of one is the problem of all," reiterated the Secretary, emphasizing the shared responsibilities among the government, the private, and the public sectors. With the goal of using Telecommunications as a tool for Nation Building, the two-day summit serves as a vehicle towards better internet and telecoms services.
Secretary Salalima concluded his statement with a message: "You have the power to use ICT as an enabler for education, enterprise, governance, and social empowerment."
The Philippine Telecoms Summit 2017 will be held on March 9 and 10, 2017 at The PICC Forum, Pasay City, Manila. Follow DICT on Facebook, Twitter, and http://dict.gov.ph for updates.


text: CZ Minutes: Supercapitalise Me Niden on Oct 19, 2014 Share Tweet Phoebe will change a great many things, that much is certain. Arguably the most profound effect is how it will change the use of capital and supercapital ships. With that in mind, what aspirations do you have towards flying a super or a titan in the future? Do you consider it a personal goal, something you already enjoy doing, or something you would seek to actively avoid for as long as you play Eve? Xander: It's strange because when I went to PL, I knew that having a super or a titan is something that is more or less expected from each member. I told Grath that not only had I never flown a super or a titan, I had very little interested in coffin-ing an account to do so. Turns out there are a lot (admittedly, it is a minority) of PL who are of a similar disposition. Like you more or less have to do in a 0.0 bloc these days, I can fly a dread and a carrier and that is more than enough for me. I find it interesting that some people see titans and supers as an end goal in Eve simply because they are the biggest, most powerful, most expensive ships in the game. It's something I understand but can't empathise with. I don't get it. I suspect I'm a little weird in that regard. I like throwing around big massive ships as much as the next man but I often get just as much satisfaction in a big fleet being that guy who flies the tackle-Malediction perfectly. I don't think I could ever encase Xander in a Nyx and leave him there to rot. I will say, if they ever make supers and/or titans dockable, I'd likely be more inclined to find the ISK and fly one at that point. Tarek: I feel about it much the same way as Xander. Having a character fly a super just limits the amount of fleets and combat scenarios one can participate in, and I just like having a ship for almost every job. If there is a goal I have in EVE then it's being able to participate meaningfully in as many fights as possible. Should I ever get to the point where I feel like there is nothing else to do than train for a super or titan, then I would probably be ready to quit playing and rather sell the character instead of logging in for the odd supercap brawl only. In fact that leads me to the point that only few people train their main for supercaps. Many just buy an alt from character farmers and keep them around for the moment they need them. I am fine with some people wanting to fly ships like that, especially since Titan bridging enables many engagements (even after Phoebe) but I'm simply not one of them. Maybe, just maybe, if I had a really big pile of ISK and nothing else to spend it on, I could see myself buying a supercap alt for such a purpose, but that's it. Niden: I think I suffer from a slight case of penis-envy when it comes to supers. It's all very impressive to see and read about. But I also don't see myself sacrificing a character to do it. I think I like my idea of supers more than I would actually enjoy flying one, the personal sacrifice just doesn't seem worth it. It's kind of like being in a band: everyone else thinks you're just partying all the time, but in fact it's a shitload of hard work. As the guys mentioned, IF they we dockable, I might consider one in the future, but it isn't anything I'm prepared to break my back to get. The catch 22 is of course that if it's not really, really hard to do, it doesn't really fulfill its role as the biggest, baddest thing. One of the key problems with supers is that they are waaaaay too common now days. Still, if dockable, and I for one reason or another learned how to not spend all my money on shiny faction ships, then yeah, I might consider one down the line. Just for the envy part. I seriously don't think it will ever be worth the money. Supers seem like a lot of stress to me, I'd rather undock in smaller ships and have fun. Forlorn: I own a supercarrier for quite some time now, way before I joined PL nearly 3 years ago. It is a proper tool for sov warfare and that's what I used to do with it and i strangely enjoy doing. Shooting several structures over an hour is much more enjoying than shooting one station for a cpl hours in a subcap fleet. After B-R i started collecting more ISK to buy a titan for this next winter war which I managed to do right before the jump changes were announced. This delayed my effort for a bit, at least until we figure out what people are really doing with these changes. My supercarrier alt hasn't docked since I have applied ingame to HABIT for a good reason. Sitting alts or swapping to mains simply does not work in a combat environment. PL's standing order is: one subcap/carrier char, one dread alt, one supercarrier alt and one titan alt when you want to be a useful bro – multiboxing during a battle. I think supercarriers will a very useful tool after Phoebe for both engagements and logistic reasons or large move ops. People who are selling theirs are blind to possible options that soon will come up. While I really like to use Forlorn I wouldn't use him in a super as having your main stuck in a coffin is simply annoying. I do enjoy supercap ops, I enjoyed fishing when I had my Nyx (swapped to an Aeon two years ago), I enjoyed hitting multiple regions with a small 20 man super fleet grinding structures. Also I got attached to my Nyx and my Aeon, something I never do with other ships in EVE. Should it go "poof" one day, I will get another because they are just so useful. Even when supercapitals were dockable I would still keep mine undocked for several reasons. No undock delay when you are on time pressure waiting on login screen, bouncing spots on stations and safety of POS shields, just to name a few. The only annoying thing is to fill up your SMA or stock up fighterbombers, which could be a little bit easier when you are docked. Eventually I will buy a titan next year, as I already have the character ready waiting for his ship. Blackhuey: I treasure my dread and carrier as some of my favourite ships, and I was in the process of saving (yes I'm chronically poor) for a super & a dedicated pilot before the Phoebe changes were announced. Now I'm not so sure. I'm not opposed to the changes per se, but they do take much of the gloss off capital use, from supers down to suitcases. I'm waiting to see how the changes pan out, but I rather suspect that they won't have the intended effect. Eve alliances will always seek the advantage regardless of the soul-destroying gameplay that requires; witness the CFC's use of siege bombers in the Fountain war. My suspicion is that the power post-Phoebe will lie with whichever bloc is more prepared to do miserable things that grant them an advantage, like creeping super blobs across the map at 5LY/hr. While there remains no viable subcap counter to a super blob, it is still the apex force it has been for some time, and jump fatigue won't make that any different. Do I really want to sign up for that? Realistically I probably will, because the CFC pride themselves on being simply more stubborn and intractable than their foes. But I'm not looking forward to it any more.

With assembly elections just over two months away and the party having just suffered a setback in the Lok Sabha election, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi decided to opt for a change in the leadership in the Maharashtra unit.
Her choice is 69-year-old Prabha Rau, who, like her predecessor Ranjit Deshmukh, hails from the Vidarbha region in the eastern part of the state. Once considered its stronghold, the party suffered its worst drubbing in Vidarbha in the last Lok Sabha election winning just one of the 11 seats in the region. Rau was one of the losers.
A veteran with over 32 years of standing in politics, who had earlier made a name for herself as a sportsperson, she is expected to bring about a turnaround and help the party retain power in the politically and financially crucial state.
Besides, her political acumen, she may need to draw upon her experience as a sportsperson of some standing to live up to the expectations.
Rau hails from Kolhapur village in Deoli tehsil of Wardha district. She had represented Nagpur University and the state in athletics, including long jump, high jump, hurdles and discus throw.
She began her political innings by contesting the election to the president of the district's central co-operative bank, which she won. Shortly afterwards, in 1972, she was elected to the Maharashtra legislative assembly from Deoli constituency.
She was elected five more times from the same constituency, which is a record of sorts. She spent a total of nearly 22 years as a member of the assembly, from 1972 to 1990 and then again from 1995 to 1999. She was elected to the Lok Sabha from Wardha constituency in 1999, but lost in 2004.
She has held several important positions, serving as minister of state (1972-1976) and cabinet minister (1976-1978, 1988-1990) in Maharashtra, leader of the opposition in the legislative assembly (1979), deputy leader of the Congress Legislature Party (1985-1990), chairperson of the Maharashtra State Commission for Women (1993-1995) and member of the parliamentary consultative committees on external affairs and power.
This is her second tenure as chief of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee, having held the post in 1984-1989. She has served as All India Congress Committee general secretary in charge of as many as six states - Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Goa, Rajasthan, Delhi and Gujarat.
Rau holds a master's degree in political science and a diploma in Indian classical music from the renowned Bhatkhande Sangeet Vidyalaya. Married on October 14, 1959, she has two daughters. She lists music, watching sports, reading and cooking among her hobbies. She is widely travelled, having visited Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States and Mexico besides the erstwhile Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia.
But her long innings in politics and her ability to tackle weighty issues were not the only reasons for Sonia Gandhi to choose her to lead the party in Maharashtra at this crucial juncture.
First, she is a known loyalist of the Nehru-Gandhi family.
Secondly, she is believed to be on good terms with Mayawati whose Bahujan Samaj Party's excellent showing was the main reason for the Congress rout in Vidarbha.
Convinced that the rout is the result of its government's neglect of the region, the ruling Congress-Nationalist Congress Party is trying to make amends. However, to be on the safe side, Gandhi is reportedly keen on forging an alliance with the BSP.
Rau now has the unenviable task of fighting the anti-incumbency wave, strengthening the Congress, overcoming factional fights, forging alliances, coming up with a manifesto and fending off the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party-Shiv Sena alliance.
For the kind of balancing act Rau will be called upon to do, some of the skills she practised on the sporting arena might just come in handy.

For the past few years, one company has dominated single-thread performance in the ARM ecosystem: Apple. While companies like Qualcomm, Samsung, and MediaTek aggressively pursued higher core counts, Apple stuck to its guns, cranking out higher single-thread performance cores and sticking to a dual-core configuration for its high-end iPhone processors. But Apple might be facing new competition in the single-core performance championships, courtesy of Samsung's new M3 processor and the Samsung Exynos 9810 SoC.
Samsung Goes Wide(r)
The original M1 and follow-up M2 were already wide designs, capable of issuing four instructions per clock cycle, compared with the 3-wide (Cortex-A72) and two-wide (Cortex-A73) designs that ARM is using. It could dispatch and execute up to nine instructions per clock cycle. Despite these strengths on paper, the M1 and M2 didn't distinguish themselves compared with top-end ARM cores, implying that Samsung had some optimization still to do on the architecture. (This is not particularly surprising for a first effort.)
The new M3 doubles down on width, boosting its front-end fetch, decode, and rename stages up to six instructions per cycle, according to Anandtech. That's a 50 percent boost compared with its previous efforts, and makes the M3 one of the widest mobile architectures, comparable to some of Apple's own work. The total number of pipeline stages has grown, from 13 to 15, and the reorder buffer has grown enormously, from 96 entries to 228. As Anandtech notes, this is all part of Samsung's effort to make sure its new enormous core gets fed properly.
This new CPU core also sports twice the load units, sharply reduced integer division latency, double the integer multiplication throughput, a threefold increase in simple floating point performance, double the FPU division throughput, and a host of other changes that should make the M3 a force to be reckoned with. The L2 cache size is as high as 512K and backed by a 4MB L3.
All of this horsepower feeds the Exynos 9810, an SoC with four Samsung M3 cores at up to 2.9GHz, backed by four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.8GHz. In short, this chip is a beast.
Careful of the Apple Trap
Apple's battery woes are an example of what can happen when a company pushes the envelope too far in mobile products. We've spoken to a number of different sources in the past month about Apple's battery shutdown issue, and the general opinion is that the company's decision to aggressively push single-thread performance, along with its relatively small battery capacities, caused this problem. While it's absolutely true that all batteries will degrade over time, an SoC that put less peak demand on the battery will not degrade it as quickly. Spreading workloads out across more cores, with lower per-core performance, may help prevent the issue.
Samsung, however, doesn't seem to think the M3 will pose a problem at all. If the company brings its new SoC to US markets, we may get to see how an aggressive single-thread CPU from a company other than Apple handles this issue with a larger battery. Of course, that assumes Samsung's M3 can best other competitor CPUs from Qualcomm and ARM, but we're hoping it can. It'd be interesting to see another high-end custom ARM architecture enter the race.

Fujitsu Lifebook T730 Tablet PC makes a sudden debut, on sale now
We got an email from Fujitsu today with the subject line: "Introducing the New Fujitsu LifeBook T730 Tablet PC." And just like that, with no added fanfare, their new 12″ convertible with optional multi-touch was unleashed upon the world – It's on sale now at the Fujitsu site.
Starting at $1869, the T730 is not for the wuss of heart, but neither are the specs. Base processor is Intel Core i5 2.4 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 2.93 GHz, and a $150 upgrade bumps that up to Core i7 2.66 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3.33 GHz. Intel vPro for motherboard-level security is optional, but available now as a free upgrade. Wide-angle LED backlit display with webcam is also available as a free upgrade, though downgrading lowers the price. Base drive is a 160GB 5400RPM HDD with a variety of upgrade options, including 128 SSD with full encryption. Starting memory is 2GB, upgradeable to 8.
Other amenities include 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth, the standard Fujitsu modular bay for optical drive or secondary battery, fingerprint sensor, ambient light sensors, full-size, spill-resistant keyboard with touchpad (with scroll sensor), HDMI out, and a user-cleanable dust filter to keep this powerhouse running smoothly. Bit heavy for its size at 3.9 lbs., which is without using the modular bay.
Comparing the T730 to the T900 released earlier this year, the two stack up nearly identically except for the larger screen and slightly larger battery on the T900. If you've been eyeing the T900 but weren't sure about handling its 13.3″ screen and nearly 5lbs starting weight, the slightly more svelte T730 could be for you.
11 Comments
I was very excited until I saw the 3.9 lbs weight. This is basically the same as the HP 2740p.
The p1630 is only 2.2 lbs, and that's where we need to be; 2.2 lbs, with i5 ULV cpu, with Wacom multi-touch + pen, outdoor screen, 10″ screen, good keyboard, and 8 hr. battery.
I also want a good video card, but I know that's beyond plausible fantasy.
Too bad they won't be doing a "Stylistic 7012"
2740p, X201t, T730, or T900…decisions, decisions!
Oh, I forgot; It must also have a webcam, plus a rear facing camera. Are you listening, Fujitsu?
This looks like a refresh of the Fujitsu T4410, except its a little thicker; they still seem to be selling the T4410 (for now at least). I wonder why they picked an unrelated name, it appears to use the same docking station and same bay options (battery, hard drive).
This makes the third 12.1″ Fujitsu convertible tablet with dual digitizer (pen + capacitive multi-touch) standard or as an option, available: the consumer T4310 (standard), and the business T4410 and T730 (optional). The T4310 and T4410 appear to be almost identical, except the T4310 doesn't support a docking station.
Sumo: Whose digitizer(s) do you think they are using…?
As far as I know, Fujitsu only uses Wacom. Seems safe to assume that's still the case, especially given the similarities to their other models.
I still like the T2010 I have had for almost 2 years. To me, it is the best PC I have ever owned and still my go to workhorse even tough I have the 13.3″ MacBook Pro and an iPad on either end of the task perspective surrounding the T2010.
Virtuous Monday, May 17 2010
The only new tablet available I'd consider buying is the HP TouchSmart tm2. Some Tablet PC makers will exit the market because their tablets simply cost too much. Instead they will blame the market for not buying enough tablets. Even some businesses can't afford tablets that cost this much.
I picked up a used HP tc1100. It's not the fastest tablet available, but it does what I need at the same cost as a new netbook.
What is it about the HP tm2 that makes it the only choice for you? Is it the price? The tm2 is probably the cheapest when it comes to retail price for a base model, though when equipped comparably, the Fujitsu T4310 would probably be very close. Yep, about $125 more for the Fujitsu, except the Fujitsu has a 2.2 GHz C2D T6600 vs the 1.3 GHz Pentium SU4100. Upgrading the tm2 CPU to a 1.6 GHz SU9600 costs $325.
Not to mention the mirror finish on the Tm2 glossy screen… Tm2 is very nice, but personally i'd go for the Fuji.
Why doesn't Fujitsu put out an upgraded Stylistic ST6012? I do not understand. It just needs the new processors, better camera and LED backlighting and it would be fantastic. It appears to have the best design for a pure tablet on the market for predominantly office use with great battery life and design. A terrible shame and waste of a great design and know-how not to do it.

Kazakh – National transliteration system
Kazakh virtual keyboard
The Kazakh virtual keyboard allows you to enter characters with a click of your mouse. There's no need to change your keyboard layout anymore. The transliteration of each supported character is displayed on the right side of the character. You can then directly transliterate your text from one script to the other according to the selected transliteration system.
Language overview
Kazakh (қазақ тілі in Cyrillic, transliterated in qazaq tili in Latin alphabet) belongs to the Turkic language family, more specifically to the Kipchak languages branch. Official language in Kazakhstan, it is also spoken in the Altai Republic of Russia, and in the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang, China. The Kazakh language counts about 15 million speakers, and can be written in Cyrillic, Latin and Arabic script. However, since october 2017, a presidential decree in Kazakhstan ordered an expanded version of the Roman alphabet to have replaced the Cyrillic script by 2025.
Transliteration system: national
On October, 26 2017, the president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, has passed a decree to make effective the switchover of Khazakh from the Cyrillic script to the Latin alphabet by 2025. However, the proposed system is not unambiguous: some Latin characters can be represented by several Cyrillic characters (for instance, и and й are both transliterated by i'), and other Cyrillic characters have no equivalent in Latin alphabet, like ц or щ.

Durov holds off with TON, waiting for the Libra hearings to end
July 16, 2019 @ 15:02 +03:00
Crypto market lost $64 bln of capitalization over the last week, even taking into account the buyback that has begun at the local minimums. Bitcoin is showing increasingly bold signs of buying in the dips, with demand also rises for other digital assets. The scale of the decline so far has allowed only a very cautious optimism, however, after the drop below $10K, the crypto-media indicated that the current correction gives the last chance to buy Bitcoin at such a "low" price.
The Block citing informed sources reported about the introduction of a bill in the U.S. Congress to ban the creation of their digital currencies by major IT-companies. Obviously, it will be Facebook, Google, and Telegram, which have the greatest chance of success with such projects. Separately, the market of "first" cryptocurrencies did not cause such fears among officials around the world, but Facebook was able to change the situation. David Markus, CEO of Calibra, will speak at the Congress on July 16-17. It is believed that cryptocurrencies could also decline in this regard, as now there is a question about the future attitude of the authorities to the crypto project as a whole. After all, if such a bill to ban the release of digital currencies will become law, it will also pressure the Bitcoin and the whole market of altcoins.
What about the Pavel Durov TON project? The market used to be full of expectations for the new cryptocurrency, but now it is quiet. Facebook decided to be the first among the largest technology companies to dare to challenge the U.S. government's monopoly on the currency issue. Telegram and other companies have now become observers. This approach can save billions of dollars. The experience of Facebook in cooperation with the U.S. government will be invaluable for all participants. There is no doubt that the position of the authorities will be indicative and will give a clear signal to everyone else.
According to the initial plan, Telegram token is not stablecoin, i.e. the price will be formed in the market, which means that the project may have additional difficulties with the authorities. In addition, the wallet will be available to 300 million instant messenger users with the ability to make micro-payments. Agiotage demand, growth of the price of a token and the subsequent "hodl" can play an evil joke with the project as at parabolic growth nobody will spend the tokens as it mostly occurs with Bitcoin and similar coins.
In 2018, Telegram held a closed ICO. The developers were able to raise $1.7 billion, although they could attract much more if the ICO had been a public one, even there the first place was given to possible problems with the regulators. In May 2019, Telegram officially released its test client TON, which indicates the final stage of testing, and the project itself may be ready for public launch in the second half of 2019.
Apart from the problems with the regulators, what may be the technical difficulties? TON is written in an unusual Fift language. The popularity of any project depends on the developers, and in this case, the founders have deliberately limited the circle of developers, relying on more experienced specialists. This can be both an advantage and a vulnerability of the project. Thus, starting with ICO, the creators of the project clearly point to strict control over its development. At the moment, all views are focused on Facebook, which shows signs of "reverse gear" when faced with severe pressure from officials around the world. This was probably a surprise even for a company. Given the approach of Pavel Durov, it is likely that all FB's mistakes will be taken into account, the reaction of the officials will be analyzed, and Telegram will be able to offer the market the product in the form that will be accepted by all parties.

The gaming industry has had a long love/hate relationship with the Caped Crusader. His popularity and iconic imagery are ripe for the gaming model. In spite of this appeal, Batman has long struggled to find his place in the pantheon of great game franchises. Unfortunately, most Batman games are notoriously awful. And not in that "doesn't look good I think I'll pass" kind of way, but in the "this game is so bad I will write songs about it" way. We are talking E.T. caliber awful.
It's a shame that there are so many terrible Batman games. The Dark Knight is the perfect character to feature in a game. His Batarangs, grappling guns, and other gear make great weapons and items. His vehicles, like the Batmobile and Batwing, make for great racing and flying levels. Batman's rogue's gallery is the most famous of any superhero's, and who better to have as level bosses (as Batman fights his way to the inevitable confrontation with the Joker) than Riddler, Clayface, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, and so on. It is also important to recognize that Batman is not a one-trick pony. He doesn't just punch bad guys like the Hulk or shoot them with arrows like Hawkeye. He uses stealth, strength, and gadgets to defeat the villains.
The problem is that Batman games are often made as cheap tie-ins to Batman movies and TV shows. For example, nine games were published with the title Batman Returns for several systems when the film of the same name was released. Are any of the nine good? … Not really. And when a Batman game is released, it is often a blatant rip-off of some other popular game. And not just graphically, as in the case of Batman Forever, which featured the same graphics engine as Mortal Kombat. Down to the play control and interface, most Batman games are total knock-offs.
Ninja Gaiden vs. Batman (NES):
Contra vs. Batman: Revenge of the Joker (SEGA Genesis):
Double Dragon vs. Batman Returns (NES)
Final Fight vs. Batman Returns (SNES)
The Final Fight example is particularly surprising. Like Mike Haggar, Guy, and the the rest of those Capcom combatants, Batman collects food and weapons from trash cans scattered around Gotham City. One would think that with Bruce Wayne's billions, Batman would not have to rummage through the garbage.
Now I know I shouldn't be knocking licensed entertainment. I make part of my living as a licensed book writer. The Star Wars Expanded Universe was a gateway drug that led me to original science fiction literature. But my point is, when game designers set out to tell an original story, to do something unique with the game they are designing, the end product is almost always superior.
Which brings us to 2009's game of the year, Arkham Asylum. This game took an original story, innovative controls, and allowed Batman to be Batman. It is no wonder this game is so popular. The fact that Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, the stars of Batman: The Animated Series (one of the most beloved incarnations of Batman ever) provided voices for the game didn't hurt either. Yahtzee Croshaw of Zero Punctuation pointed out at the time that many of Batman's moves in this game are stolen from Spider-Man's traditional arsenal. Batman dangles from the ceiling, snags a bad guy, and strings him upside down. But we won't fault the creators for that. What makes this game so good is the characters, shining as the best (or worst) they can be. Scarecrow couldn't be scarier. The Joker couldn't be funnier. Even Poison Ivy was intriguing (although the epic battle against her giant plants was very similar to some old boss battles from Resident Evil games, and she could afford to put on some pants).
So how is the game industry following up this success? Another innovative new project? Holy sequels, Batman! It's another Arkham game. That's right. Arkham City drops later this year.
Matt London is an author and filmmaker who may have been first introduced to Batman through that Ninja Gaiden-esque video game you see above, but he can't remember. He can claim to have beaten Arkham Asylum in a sitting (a very long sitting) and to have never beaten the first level of Batman on the Game Boy.

TN: On 11 October 2013, conservative Turkish daily newspaper Yeni Akit and its online edition Habervaktim.com reported the Republican People's Party's Youth Organization's visit to the Black Pink Triangle LGBT Initiative with the headings "CHP Proposes Pervert Minister" and "CHP Youth Visits Lesbians" respectively.

"CHP'li Gençlerden Lezbiyenlere Ziyaret," ("CHP Youth Visits Lesbians,") Habervaktim, 11 October 2013, http://www.habervaktim.com/haber/347005/chpli-genclerden-lezbiyenlere-ziyaret.html
The General Vice President of the CHP Youth Organization Nazli Kiran, the president of the Izmir CHP Youth Organization İbrahim Soydan, the vice presidents Tuğçe Onbaşı, Zeynep Arca, Deniz Mert Hancı and Mahsun Kazan visited the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transsexual organization Black Pink Triangle LGBT Initiative.
They Did Not Like the Democracy Package
The Black Pink Triangle member Demet Yanardağ said they were not surprised that the hate crime legislation in the democracy package does not include them. "A package that only includes Islamophobia and the headscarf issue is not right. If a woman wears the headscarf, people give their seat on a public bus. Because she is considered a "sister" by society, men protect her. There is a different perception if the woman is not wearing a headscarf, wears make-up and a décolleté. We want a trans parliamentary member in order to voice our problems."
"We will ensure that your problems are conveyed to the Assembly"
The president of the Izmir CHP Youth Organization İbrahim Soydan stated that they founded a commission that will hear the problems of disadvantaged and discriminated groups in society and will offer solutions to them. "As the Commission for Equality and Human Rights, we will listen to the troubles of people with disabilities, of minorities, of non-Muslims and of senior citizens. The commission will ensure that unjust treatments are discussed in detail to offer solutions and that they are conveyed to the Assembly."
