Hello everyone, am new. I wondered if could help me get my head around the coding side of things.
I have started to make a text based game for uni, its part of the course.
I know what I need in it, I know what to do.. but for the life of me I cant code the thing.
My first mission on this is to first display a random x and y coordinates of both you (the player and 10 enemies on a 10x10 grid)
Bare in mind that i dont have to make the grid, just put if statements on the coordinates to limit the number from going any higher than 10.
Here are the classes... I would i go about doing this?
Code:class Characters { protected: int x,y; // co-ordinate position public: Characters(int pos_x,int pos_y) { x=pos_x; y=pos_y; } }; class Bunnymonsters : public Characters { }; class Hero : public Characters { public: //Create Hero };

New Channel 9 Screencast on XNA Game Development
I've created a new screencast on creating games with XNA and, thanks to my teammate Brian Johnson, it's now available on our Northeast page on Channel 9!
Northeast Roadshow - XNA Game Development
Based on the Spring Roadshow session, this is an introduction to the world of XNA and game development. You'll learn how XNA fits in with .NET and Visual Studio, see how the XNA Creators Club Online site will help you download what you need to create games and find resources to learn about your options.
The bulk of the screencast focuses on creating a very (oh, so very) basic 2D game with XNA Game Developer Studio 3.0. The code is available on the Northeast Code Gallery.
Just don't forget to send me a note once you become a famous game developer!

Politically active actor Matt Damon has starred in numerous films regarding social and political problems—2009's "Invictus" and 2010's "Green Zone"—so its no surprise the actor's set to star in anti-fracking film, "Promised Land."
Slated for release next year, the movie "life-changing" events that affect a small town as a cause of fracking.
Never heard of fracking?
Hydraulic fracking, better known as the latter phrase, is the process of extracting gas by drilling deep into the earth, setting off small explosions to loosen rock and creating new pathways for gas to flow.
Despite reducing market prices for gas, the technique is highly controversial since it has been known to cause minor earthquakes, according to the Wall Street Journal, and has the potential to pollute clean drinking water.
The process currently occurs in at least 14 states including California, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Drilling also occurs in the UK.
Damon co-wrote the screenplay for the film and will also star The Office's John Krasinski and Frances McDormand.
However, they're not the first two celebrities to take a stand against the controversial process.

Do you think it's easier or more difficult to negotiate in tough economic times? Well, it depends. I've been asked by many people, if it's easier or more difficult to negotiate during a recession. The answer I've given is, it depends on how well a person can read body language, and the overall negotiation skills they possess.
Some people will become shrewder negotiators during tough economic times, while others will roll over and play dead. The ones that will become shrewder will negotiate harder, simply because they know others won't negotiate as stringently. Which one will you be?
During recessionary times, some individuals and corporations will become more desperate for certain goods and services. Their resources, more than likely, will become strained and thus it will become more difficult for them to get the goods and services they need. To the degree that they really need what it is that you have, they will be more apt to negotiate with you. That creates an opportunity for those individuals that are good at negotiating. During tough times, if you're a good negotiator, you can acquire what you need at a better price and with less effort.
During tough economic times, some people you negotiate with will believe since the economic times are tough, they will not be able to get good deals. If they possess that mindset, make sure they're right. Make their perception become their reality. Don't take advantage of them, but understand the bargaining position you're in and use it to your advantage.
If you can read and interpret body language accurately, you will be able to glimpse the inner mind of those with whom you negotiate. In order to read body language accurately, you will need to know how to interpret body language signals and gestures. Body language signals such as open, closed, and evaluation gestures will allow you to gain valuable insight into the minds of those you negotiate with and thus make the negotiation session more favorable to you. Some of the cues you should look for are …
- Open gestures: unbuttoning of coat, loosening of ties/collar button, uncrossing of arms
- Closed gestures: crossed legs/arms, short responses
- Evaluation gestures: head supports itself and hand rest on cheek – chin stroking
Once you can interpret these and other gestures accurately, in a lot of situations, you will be able to interpret the intentions and actions of others and in some situations, you will be able to do so before the other person is aware of their own intentions.
All things considered, there will be considerably more opportunities to acquire what you want and need in a recession or tough economic times. The degree of your success will be directly related to your ability to negotiate, which to some degree will be directly related to how well you can read body language. Simply stated, the better you are at reading body language accurately, the more you will receive … and everything will be right with the world.
The negotiation lessons are …
• During a recession, don't be afraid to negotiate more stringently, but be sure to interpret body language accurately, to determine when you're close to achieving your goals.
• In tough economic times, in all phases of the negotiation, you have to be more mindful of where you are in the negotiation in order not to lose what you've gained. People will have fewer disposable resources and thus they will attempt to maximize the resources they have. In essence, they will want to get the more while giving up less.
• Commit yourself to learning more about reading body language. The return you will get on the time that you take to learn how to read body language will pay off in all aspects of your life.

The latest addition to Panasonic's Lumix G X Vario lens range is the H-HS12035, a 12-35mm constant f/2.8.
The new Micro Four Thirds lens is pitched at the high end, sitting above the regular G Series lenses, and joins the two X lenses launched in 2011.
Unlike the existing lenses, however, the 12-35mm isn't a power lens. But it is solidly built, featuring a premium construction with metal barrel, and nano surface coating to reduce flare and ghosting.
We had our hands on a pre-production sample before the announcement and found that the zoom action was incredibly smooth, with the rubber grip making it feel nice and precise.
But perhaps the most interesting detail about the new lens is that it is water and dust resistant, Panasonic's first "weather-proofed" lens for the G Series compact system cameras.
It's interesting because none of the existing camera bodies are weather proofed, suggesting that Panasonic will be lining up a new model in the near future to rival the Olympus OM-D, also weather proofed.
This tallies with rumours that have been circulating for some time and with the Lumix GH2 now getting rather long in the tooth, this adds weight to the suggestion that we'll soon see the GH3 featuring a sealed body.
Of course, the latter is currently speculation, but the new lens can be yours from the end of June at just shy of £1000.


text: There is a cutting edge in rodbuilding and Recoil is right on it. First, their guides are made in the USA. Now thats a good start, but theyre actually made of a nickel/titanium alloy which makes it absolutely corrosion proof in addition to being strong! They have memory, so if you accidentally step on a guide, itll spring back to its original dimensions, instead of being crushed, putting you and your rod out of service. And these Recoil guides are light .... in fact, they may be the lightest guides available anywhere!

As the number of families with children who come to Pennsic continues to rise, so too does the need for clear policies regarding supervision of young people. There have been no changes to the rules in place for a number of years regarding minors—requiring a parent or court appointed guardian to be on site for the duration of the War, requiring those under 12 to be in voice range of a responsible adult or teen at all times, and requiring all young people under 16 to be either in their encampment or in the company of their parent or court-appointed guardian after 11 pm. What has changed is that this year there are clear penalties for first, second, and third transgressions of these rules for both the minor and their parent or guardian. It has been made clear that these policies will be enforced. The complete text may be found at http://www.pennsicwar.org/penn36/GENERAL/siterules.html#MINOR.
The Pennsic Independent, as a source ofincome for the young people (Urchins) who sell our papers on a daily basis, is committed to ensuring these rules are respected. As a result, Urchins must be 13 or older to sell alone. Those 12 and under may sell with an adult or teen who has been designated as being responsible for their child. The number of hours an Urchin can sell papers will be limited to four hours a day.
We are also enforcing some additional policies to help ensure the safety of our Urchins. Urchins also must stay out of camps unless it is their own camp. They may sell at the gate of the camp, but may not enter. Urchins begin selling the paper at 9 am each day, rain or shine. We are asking the Pennsic populace to respect these rules by not inviting Urchins into their camps. "Some camps have gotten creative in the past, setting a box at the gate with subscription tabs, dollars with notes requesting a paper, and tips so the Urchins don't even need to cry at the gate," noted Despotissa Heirusalem, publisher of the Pennsic Independent. She added that signs will be available at the Independent office after Wednesday of the first week to identify camps that would like to receive the Independent.
What happens if a rule is broken? If it is a Pennsic Independent policy, we will contact the parent to discuss the infraction. Sometimes minor problems can be worked out without needing to escalate. However, if a Pennsic youth rule is broken, the incident will be reported and the Urchin will no longer be permitted to sell newspapers. "We have been very fortunate that we have never had to call the Pennsic staff to deal with an Urchin issue," said Despotissa Heirusalem. "Our parents have always understood the rules and have made sure that their children do, too. We value those parents as much as we value our Urchins."
Over many years, the Urchins have become a valuable part of the Independent team. Urchins sell the paper for a commission and tips, and courteous and helpful Urchins often make over $50 a day. To ensure their safety, we make sure they are wearing appropriate footwear, provide hats where needed, and water in bottles to carry with them. We also provide them with a bonus if they act responsibly and sell on a consistent basis, as well as a pizza party on Thursday night of War week. They have become part of the Pennsic experience, with their familiar chant "Pennsic Independent! Only a dollar!"
Urchin safety is of utmost importance to the Independent. Commented Despotissa Heirusalem, "I am also a mother, and feel strongly about keeping the Urchins safe, healthy, and happy." Whether you are an Urchin parent, a customer, or just a member of the Pennsic community, we trust you will continue to help make this possible.
For more information on the PI Urchins and Urchin rules, please see http://pennsicindependent.com/about/urchins

Machines Approved for Instant Runoff Voting in Alameda County
California Secretary of State Debra Bowen approved the use of instant runoff voting equipment in Alameda County Friday, Dec. 4, clearing the way for its use in Berkeley, Oakland and San Leandro for the November 2010 elections.
IRV gives voters the option to rank their first, second, and third choice of candidates, eliminating the need for runoffs
All three cities have approved IRV, or ranked-choice voting, for municipal elections, on the condition that the county comes up with an approved electronic counting system.
Bowen's approval was necessary before the end of the year in order for IRV to be used in next year's election.
Alameda County contracted with Colorado- and California-based Sequoia Voting Systems, which manufactured the nation's first lever-based mechanical voting equipment in the 1890s, for the IRV technology.
Bowen hired Florida-based consulting firm Freeman, Craft, McGregor Group to test the IRV technology, including the system's ability to accurately record, tabulate and report votes in ranked-choice voting elections, using the RCV rules which have been successfully used in San Francisco.
The IRV machinery has received mixed reviews from East Bay politicians up for reelection next year, with some calling the system "unfriendly" to incumbents and others contending that it will be difficult for immigrants with limited knowledge of English to navigate the system.
However, proponents of IRV have said that it will help new candidates and increase minority voter participation.
Councilmember Kriss Worthington, who in 2004 sponsored a voter-approved initiative to make the city switch to IRV, said the new system would save tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars.
The City of Berkeley has spent more than $1 million on runoff elections since 1986, money Worthington said could have instead been used for public safety, public works and youth.
Worthington said the Berkeley City Council would soon vote on how much money the city would be spending toward educating citizens about IRV.
"It depends on whether San Leandro and Oakland support it," he said. "If all three cities are part of it, then it will be a lot easier."
Worthington added that city officials were still working on sorting out "red tape and strings of implementation."
He attempted to explain the IRV system in layman's terms:
"When you vote, you can say my first choice is candidate A, second choice is Yogi Berra and third choice is Minnie Mouse," he said. "You only get to vote for three people. If the first choice gets dropped your vote will transfer to Yogi Berra. If the second choice gets dropped, your vote will transfer to the third person."
Under the current system, if no candidate gets 50 percent of the votes, a brand new election is held and there is a run-off between the top two vote-getters.
District 4 Councilmember Jesse Arreguin, who is up for reelection next year, told the Planet that he supported IRV.
Other councilmembers who are up for reelection next year are District 1 Councilmember Linda Maio, District 7 Councilmember Kriss Worthington, District 8 Councilmember Gordon Wozniak and Berkeley City Auditor Ann Marie Hogan.
"It will save city a lot of money in the long run," Arreguin said. "It's been done throughout the world very successfully and people have got used to the process. Why spend thousands of dollars in doing a special election when you can resolve elections expeditiously? It's good governance."
Arreguin said that IRV gave grassroots-level candidates a greater voice. "It's a far more democratic process," he said. "The voters asked for it. It's taken us five years to get it, but it will be a big improvement."
Arreguin said that the city could save between $100,000 to $300,000 if IRV was implemented next year.
Steven Hill, director of the Political Reform Program for New America Foundation, said voter education plans have already been drafted by the Alameda County registrar of voters, "who has said he is ready to run the election for Berkeley, Oakland and San Leandro."
"All logistical and legal hurdles have been overcome, and the voters of these three cities who voted overwhelmingly in favor of using IRV will have their mandate fulfilled," Hill said. "Berkeley, Oakland and San Leandro voters will be able to rank their candidates and elect majority winners in a single November election when voter turnout is highest. At the same time, these cities will realize significant cost savings as they eliminate an unnecessary, expensive and low-turnout June election."
But Judy Belcher of the Oakland IRV Implementation Group, warned that there was mounting political pressure to prevent the Oakland City Council from approving money for the IRV educational campaign.
Belcher said that that former state Sen. Don Perata, who is running for mayor of Oakland next year, is leading a campaign against IRV.
"IRV means we won't have a June election, we will have a November election," Belcher said. "A shorter campaign benefits him (Perata)."
Belcher said IRV would give Perata's opponent in the 2010 mayoral elections, Oakland city Councilmember Jean Quan, more time to campaign, and therefore "more time to raise money."
Documents posted on the secretary of state's website detail the conditions the IRV system must meet in order to be approved for use.
For more information on IRV see the secretary of state's website.

When you compete on a worldwide stage in the skimpiest of bathing suits, how shy can you be?
For beach volleyball Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings, the answer came crashingly clear just before her second of two nude photo shoots for ESPN The Magazine.
The first time she stripped down while pregnant; the second was a follow-up session posing in the altogether with her new baby last month, about nine weeks after giving birth.
"Driving there I was sweating bullets," says Walsh Jennings, 34. "I was really, really nervous. I felt exposed, not just physically, but with all of my insecurities."
The side-by-side results appear in the magazine's fifth annual Body Issue, on newsstands Friday, along with nude photos of male and female athletes. The sports range from pro football to golf to tennis.
"When I was offered this opportunity it wasn't an automatic yes. I had to think about it. I'm my parents' daughter. I have my husband," she said. "When I came down to it, I had the opportunity to do something uncomfortable. I think that's an important part of life. It's something new. I looked at it as a challenge."
Richard Phibbs
Walsh Jennings says she gained 36 lbs. on her 6 , 2″ frame while pregnant with her third child, daughter Scout Margery. She's lost most of it, but is trying for 12 lbs. more.
"I have been working my butt off literally every single day," she says, preparing for her first post-baby tournament in Switzerland later this month. "I've come a long way from April when I had my baby. But I'm definitely not where I would normally be going into my first tournament of the season."
She'll also have to adjust to competing without longtime partner Misty May-Treanor, who retired after the pair won their third gold at the London Olympics. After joining interim partner Whitney Pavlik in Switzerland and later in Long Beach, she'll team with new partner April Ross.
Which means the next few weeks will bring one more temporary tinge of self-consciousness. "Before I get my tan," she says, "I feel naked."

PPIx::Regexp::Util - Utility functions for PPIx::Regexp;
use PPIx::Regexp::Util qw{ __instance }; . . . __instance( $foo, 'Bar' ) or die '$foo is not a Bar';
This module contains utility functions for PPIx::Regexp which it is convenient to centralize. The contents of this module are private to the PPIx::Regexp package. This documentation is provided for the author's convenience only. Anything in this module is subject to change without notice. Caveat user. This module exports nothing by default.
This module can export the following subroutines: __instance __instance( $foo, 'Bar' ) and print '$foo isa Bar', "\n"; This subroutine returns true if its first argument is an instance of the class specified by its second argument. Unlike "UNIVERSAL::isa", the result is always false unless the first argument is a reference. __is_ppi_regexp_element __is_ppi_regexp_element( $elem ) and print "$elem is a regexp of some sort\n"; This subroutine takes as its argument a PPI::Element. It returns a true value if the argument represents a regular expression of some sort, and a false value otherwise. __ns_can This method is analogous to "can()", but returns a reference to the code only if it is actually implemented by the invoking name space. __to_ordinal_en This subroutine takes as its argument an integer and returns a string representing its ordinal in English. For example say __to_ordinal_en( 17 ); # 17th
Params::Util, which I recommend, but in the case of "PPIx::Regexp" I did not want to introduce a dependency on an XS module when all I really wanted was the function of that module's "_INSTANCE()" subroutine.

Each patron query is an opportunity to learn something new.
My case in point from last week -My patron has been seeking records on Lithuanian immigrant A. Bartkus and his family. Anything goes. My patron didn't really have much to work with, as her dad won't talk about his childhood in World World II Lithuania/Germany.
A short interview and an Ancestry immigration search later, and a bright, shiny, Passenger List record appears. My patron is excited. Performing another search for the immigration vessel yields a unique story about military vessels shuttling refugees from Europe to the USA and beyond. My patron is amazed. "You've made my day, my month, and my year!" She said. "I haven't found out much of anything before today!"
Yes, I'm awesome on a good day.
Which brings me to 'Minding the Gap' portion of Post-WWII genealogy research. As a descendent of recent immigrants, you can find documents and assistance with the following depositories:
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offers amazing resources for Post WWII Immigrants including:
Naturalization Certificate Files (C-files) from September 27, 1906 to April 1, 1956
Alien Registration Forms from August 1, 1940 to March 31, 1944
Visa Files from July 1, 1924 to March 31, 1944
Registry Files from March 2, 1929 to March 31, 1944
Alien Files (A-files) numbered below 8 million (A8000000) and documents therein dated prior to May 1, 1951
Records Relating to World War II Era Refugees at the National Archives
There are a lot of records regarding the plight, migration, and individual refugee information available to order in the Archives.gov Civilian Agency Records. Try looking through U.S. Foreign Assistance Agencies, 1948-61 -This Record Group contains additional material relating to the Marshal Plan and the plight of European refugees. There are two divisions to these files including Geographic Files, 1953-54 (Germany-Refugees) and German Division, Subject Files, 1948-53 (Refugees).
It might be a long shot, but the UK National Archives has an amazing in-depth research guide for refugees topics and records research. This is a sizable guide, but it has a lot of great links and information.
I always tell my patrons to reach out to those relatives who might be able to answer your questions. A silent parent might have a chatty sibling or cousin who is willing to talk to you. Remember, if at first you don't fricassee, fry, fry, a hen.
Reminder: Don't miss the next FPLD Genealogy Club Meeting on Wednesday, September 21 at 7 p.m. in Meeting Room A. Genealogy speaker Robin Seidenberg will present To Tell or Not to Tell : Should the Family Skeleton Stay in the Closet?
How would you deal with suicide or the cousin who kept her "cough medicine" (liquor) behind the refrigerator? What about the relatives whose birth dates are not on their tombstones because they always lied about their ages?
Robin will present various family situations. Participants in the discussion group will share ideas and learn from one another. Ultimately each person will determine the most comfortable way to handle these issues
Which brings us to the question/comment of the day: What have you done to overcome the gaps in your family genealogy?
Post your interesting or creative responses in the comment area below.
See you at the Library!

I have an old style (without a bladder) expansion tank installed on my heating system. Recently i noticed that the water pressure fluctuates a lot in the system and wonder if that maybe because the expansion tank doesn't have enough air any more.
How often does one usually need to drain expansion tank?
What are other reasons for water pressure to fluctuate a lot during the day (almost hitting the limit when the safety valve is about to trigger).

FIFA Grassroots Community Seminar kicks off in Saint Lucia
1 November 2013 – Addressing participants at the opening of the FIFA Grassroots Com-unity Seminar in St. Lucia today, FIFA Vice President and CONCACAF President Jeffrey Webb announced that the confederation will be naming a new task force to examine the feasibility and sustainability of the Caribbean Professional League initiative.
"Our focus relies on enhancing the partnership between governments, the private sector and football community in order to foster cooperation," said President Webb. "CONCACAF is committed to growing our game by empowering all federations through development, so that we continue to progress in a dynamic and innovative environment of collaboration."
CONCACAF will continue its work in the areas of development, referee and coaching education through its solid administration to help shape future generations and enhance the competitiveness of its players.
"Football is truly a vehicle of social change, and at the Saint Lucia Football Association (SLFA), our goal is to give the boys and girls as many opportunities as possible to grow through the game of football," said SLFA President Lyndon Cooper.
Delivering on a commitment from the Sports Summit in October 2013, President Webb said that task force members will be named at CONCACAF's next Executive Committee meeting on November 7 and 8 in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

At Last: Big News about a Small School in Sonoma!
Aaron is a friend who used to work with Michele, teaching classes at Viking Home Chef. Many years later, Aaron's sister, Josette, married Michele's brother Kenny. Small world, but I digress. Yesterday I drove up to check out his school and was very impressed. He's got a great space, and has done a beautiful job setting it up for his catering company, as well as his cooking classes.
I put together a very quick slideshow of the space to give you a sneak peek. Stay tuned for more exciting news, especially if you're located in northern California. For more info on Aaron Jonas Catering, and his cooking classes (which are getting rave reviews, by the way) you can contact him at (415) 846-9565, or check out the website at aaronjonascatering.com.
I'm headed off to the gym to start getting in shape for the cameras; you know they add 10 pounds. Also, does anyone know if they still sell that hair spray paint for covering up bald spots? Enjoy the photos!

Great stuff and great location. Plus, from there you're only about 30 minutes from some of the most gorgeous coast line in America if not the world.
I expect to see great seafood :), I have so many good memories of going to bodega bay or farther north and getting great fish. I remember some salmon coming in that was just amazing.
The Russian River is also gorgeous, I love and really miss that whole area since I live in NYC now.

Outlook 2013: European Markets
As the global economy steps back from the brink of disaster in 2012, markets will look for recovery in 2013. Andrea Tryphonides and Sara Sjolin explain why investors might switch out of safer markets in favor of risky ones.

What is it?
This third generation of the Mercedes-Benz SLK roadster comes across as decidedly more masculine than its predecessors, both in looks and character. That's key, since the 2012 SLK350 competes with the BMW Z4 and the Porsche Boxster. The new model has a unique Magic Sky Control roof, which goes from clear glass to a dark tinted pane instantly with the touch of a button.
What is it like to drive?
We tested the Mercedes SLK350 in Tennessee and North Carolina on the famous Tail of the Dragon road that winds through the Smoky Mountains. The roadster ate up the curves with gusto and never complained, even when a ham-fisted journalist entered a corner too hot and had to overcorrect.
The SLK350 is equipped with a variable-ratio steering rack that sharpens at speed, and it felt well-connected through the hundreds of on- and off-camber curves on the route. The leather-trimmed wheel feels a bit sportier in the hand, while the available wood-trimmed tiller transmits luxury.
The SLK gets its mojo from a 3.5-liter V6 that makes 302 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque, the latter of which is available from 3,500 rpm. That's 34 more horses than last year's SLK350, but it keeps the same 0-to-60-mph time of 5.4 seconds.
The transmission has seven speeds but spent most of the day in second and third--the sweet spot for driving the Tail. The standard wheel-mounted paddle shifters earned their keep, but don't expect dual-clutch quickness. However, drivers are rewarded for downshifts as the transmission rev-matches before blasting a metallic note from the integrated dual exhausts.
The SLK doesn't give up much in the way of stiffness, either. It only flexes over extremely rough roads or when it gets in sync with wavy pavement.
Mercedes claims the new car is safe too, and efficient. Granted, we did suck down about a half tank of fuel in a few hours, but under normal conditions the 2012 Mercedes SLK is rated at 20 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. It has eight well-hidden airbags, and for 2012, it comes standard with Attention Assist that alerts a driver when he or she is getting tired.
The car reportedly went through 100 crash tests and more than 24,000 simulations before launch. To check the roll-bar strength, the SLK was hitched upside down to a crane and dropped to the pavement.
Do I want one?
Maybe. Next February, the SLK250 will debut, with a 201-hp turbocharged four-cylinder. It gets a few more miles per gallon and should be a bit lighter than the V6 model. It also gets as standard equipment a six-speed manual, which isn't available on the SLK350.
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 hits showroom floors with a base sticker price of $55,675, including an $875 destination charge. By comparison, the mid-grade BMW Z4 costs about $53,000 and the Porsche Boxster S stickers at $58,600. Both competitors offer manual transmissions. But if you've fancied an SLK and held up on buying for one reason or another, now might be the time.

Tanmaya Nanda | Mumbai September 19, 2014 Last Updated at 10:32 IST
He has been called the 'Most Influential Indian American Congressional aide' during his stint as Senior National Security Adviser to US Senate Majoirty leader Harry Reid. If things go according to plan, he could soon be called the 'most influential Indian-American in India'.
That's Rahul 'Richard' Verma, who US President Barack Obama nominated Thursday as that country's next ambassador to India, pending Senate approval.
The appointment is an important one – India has not had a full-time US Ambassador to India since May when Nancy Powell left New Delhi after resigning in March.
Verma's appointment can also been seen as a salve of sorts, after Powell's tumultuous tenure that included the Devyani Khobragade incident, which prompted swift retaliatory measures by the Indian government against the Embassy and the American School in New Delhi. The prolonged vacancy had also raised questions about the US' commitment to an Indo-US relationship that has been hailed as one of strategic importance to both nations.
It also comes just before Prime Minister Narendra Modi leaves for the US on his first official visit later this month. This will be Modi's first US trip since his visa was last revoked in 2005 when he was chief minister of Gujarat for his alleged role in the 2002 communal riots in the state under his watch.
But who is Richard Verma? Here are 10 things you must know about the next US Ambassador to India
1) At one point of time, he was one of the highest ranked Indian Americans in the US Congress, serving as National Security and Foreign Policy Adviser to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who he also advised on the India-US Civilian Nuclear Energy deal, and ultimately convinced to back.
2) In that role, he acted as senior defense and foreign policy liaison to Senate committees, the office of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives and the White House. He was also the key liaison for communications and political advice to the Reid, various Committee chairmen and the Democratic Caucus
3) During his tenure as National Security Adviser to Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, Rahul 'Richard' Verma was one of a handful of people who had Top Secret/Secure Compartmentalized Information security clearance, according to reports.
4) In March 2009, US President Barack Obama hand-picked Verma to be Assistant Secretary of State for Legislative Affairs, making him the highest ranking Indian American in the administration. In that role, he served as the principal Congressional affairs advisor to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and then Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. He stayed in that role until 2013.
5) He has served with distinction in the US Air Force, and has been awarded the Meritorious Service Medal (1998), Air Force Commendation Medal (1996) and the National Defense Service Medal (1994).
6) He went to a private college on a scholarship form the US Air Force. He graduated with honours in Science in 1990 from Lehigh University in Bethelem, Pennsylvania. He later graduated cum laude in 1993 from the American University Law School, and later the Georgetown University Law Center, where he received his LLM with distinction in 1998.
7) In May 2008, Verma was appointed to the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism in the last few months of the Bush administration. The Commission implements a key recommendation of the independent, bipartisan 9/11 Commission and builds on the Congressional commitment to address the threat that proliferation of weapons of mass destruction poses to the US.
8) Later, President-elect Obama's transition team asked him to stay on the Commission while he served on the Pentagon Agency Review Team overseeing the US Department of Defense, to which he was appointed as one of the leads.
9) He was awarded the State Department's Distinguished Service Award in 2013.
10) In June 2007, he was named as one of the 50 Most Influential Indian Americans in the United States by a leading community newspaper.

My latest obsession, the score to The Mothman Prophecies by Tomandandy.
Absolutely perfect, and very unnerving. I could see putting this in as a soundscape on Halloween night. It's THAT cool.
The second disc contains the score tracks, so click on those samples to get a taste (though there's a ton of dark ambient stuff which doesn't make it into the samples).
Listen to them here.

1980's Flyers
The Flyers started the decade by amassing the longest unbeaten streak in North American professional sports, by going 35 straight games without a loss, a record that still stands today. That team, coached by Pat Quinn, went on to reach the Stanley Cup Finals, the fourth time in seven seasons, but lost a controversial championship series to the New York Islanders.
The core of that Flyers team, which reach those four championships, grew older over the first part of the decade, and the team decided to go in a new direction by 1984. Clarke retired and became general manager and constructed a team of young talent – the youngest in the NHL at the time – and the Flyers dominated the Wales Conference, returning to the Finals for a fifth time in 1985 under the guidance of rookie coach Mike Keenan. Led by Vezina-winning goalie Pelle Lindbergh, the Flyers lost to the Edmonton Oilers in the Finals.
Later that year, Lindbergh was killed in a car accident, and the Flyers ran out of emotional will in the first round of the playoffs. They were re-energized in 1986-87 when rookie goalie Ron Hextall rose to prominence. Led by an offense rife with talent such as Tim Kerr, Rick Tocchet and Brian Propp , the Flyers again reached the Finals in 1987, only to lose to the Oilers in a seven-game series that many have argued was the greatest Stanley Cup Final in NHL history. Hextall won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP.
Like the decade before, the Flyers made a couple more postseason appearances before the 80s expired, but the team needed an overhaul before the next great era in franchise history commenced.

Triumph describes the new generation of the Scrambler as both "beautiful" and "capable", fusing modern performance with classic styling. AltRider has embraced this philosophy in making parts for the Triumph Scrambler. The fit and finish of the AltRider Radiator Guard is designed to stand apart from the crowd while safeguarding your Scrambler against anything the road may throw at you.
Made from 1/16" (1.6 mm) anodized aluminum, the robust yet lightweight radiator guard prevents debris from puncturing the heart of the cooling system. The location of the radiator behind the front fender is not ideal for providing maximum air flow. Louvers on the radiator guard were specifically designed to improve the flow of air to the radiator as well as provide enhanced protection from debris by increasing the rigidity of the entire piece. Jog bends on the guard's mounting flange add structural integrity to the guard while allowing for a tighter, more integrated fit. This also allows the guard to mount around the radiator's seams rather than just sit loosely on top of them. High-temp silicon bumpers help distribute the effects a direct impact and protect the delicate cooling fins of the radiator.

I first heard of Willis Earl Beal through Found Magazine. Gracing the COVER OF ISSUE #7 was a flier Willis had made in an attempt to meet a "nice pretty girl" and inside was an interview with Willis himself. At the end of the interview was a note telling readers that if they wanted to see some of Willis's artwork or hear some of his music they should e-mail Found Magazine. I was intrigued by the interview and, as Willis and I lived in the same town, I wanted to see what this guy was up to. So, I e-mailed Found and they told me they hadn't actually received anything from Willis yet. Could I track him down, collect some of his work, and send it on to them? Well, sure, I could do that. After all, Willis wasn't hard to reach; his phone number was on the cover of Found Magazine.
While walking home from work one day I gave Willis a call and told him that Found Magazine wanted me to send some of his artwork on to them. He said he had some CD's with him right then and that we could meet at a nearby Wendy's, where he was applying for a job. So, I turned around and headed over to the restaurant. I didn't know if we'd have much to talk about. All I knew about Willis was what I'd read in Found: that he liked nighttime, oatmeal and heavily favored the music of Norah Jones. As it turned out, he also liked Werner Herzog, Bob Dylan and William Burroughs. Alright, then.
I took the CD's home, not sure what to expect, and put one in the player. The first track I heard was "Blue Escape."
Once Willis began singing, my first thought was, "I want to be in a band with this guy!" The music came across like a bedroom mix of Sam Cooke, Bob Dylan, the Dirt Bombs and Cat Power. So, I called him back and said I could play some drums, my girlfriend could play guitar, and he could obviously sing and write songs. Did he want to be in a band? Willis was up for trying something, but it took awhile for us to find a place to practice. Our first session was on a cold winter's afternoon in an open barn, the snow-capped mountains of central New Mexico in the distance. It sounded good. In a short time we had a few tunes worked-out, including some from his home-recorded CD's. One that Willis never seemed too keen on but that we pretty much insisted on playing was called "Monotony."
Over the next few weeks we managed to practice once a week or so. We got a set together, booked a show, and got a lead on some recording time. The weekend before the gig we were set to rehearse but Willis didn't show up on time. This was unusual. An hour later he called saying he was on the way to the airport and was flying back home to Chicago. He and his girlfriend had broken up the night before and he couldn't stand being in New Mexico another day. He'd told his landlady to just throw all his stuff out. And that was that.
Who knows what might or might not have come of Willis's songs? But we understood that he had to leave. And many of the songs he was writing seemed to be about his relationship; it would have been hard for him to keep singing them. It's too bad we didn't record anything though. My girlfriend and I spent a whole Saturday in thrift stores trying (and failing) to find a simple boom box. Even a practice tape would've been nice. Here's one we eventually worked-up called "White Noize."
Anyway, Willis is back in Chicago—hopefully writing some new songs—and I figured I'd post a couple of his tunes here on City of Dust. All three of these were from his original home recordings, mostly played on instruments he kept pawning. If anyone wants to hear more songs—and there's a lot more—get in touch and maybe we can find a way to get them out to folks. Willis can sort of be found on FACEBOOK. But the best way to contact him is still to just give him a call. (UPDATE: Not anymore.)

Dive into the world of non-fiction with
these great books
Reviews by
Melissa Oxborrow
Send a link to a friend
[June 11, 2014]
Perhaps, like me, you're
not naturally a big non-fiction reader. I generally read non-fiction for
specific information, not for pure enjoyment. Whether you dive into non-fiction
for fun or need a little encouragement to jump in, these titles are perfect for
children and adults alike. They are four of my favorite titles of the last few
years. Enjoy!
Cowboy Up!: Ride the Navajo Rodeo
by Nancy Bo Flood and Jan Sonnemair, Wordsong, c2013, 48 pages
Full of incredible photos and a mix of factual narrative and free verse
poetry, this book is a winner. Fall into the exciting world of rodeo and
read about everything "cowboy"---from the youngest buckaroos on their woolly
mounts to the brave rodeo clowns that risk their lives to protect other
riders. You'll learn about the events and the people that make up the proud
tradition of Navajo rodeo. The format of this book, its use of evocative
language and the eye-grabbing photos pulled me in and got my heart pumping
just as if I were in the stands watching and cheering. It's a wonderful pick
for reluctant readers, especially boys, grades 2 - 6.
Temple Grandin: How the Girl Who Loved Cows Embraced Autism and Changed
the World
by Sy Montgomery and Temple Grandin,
HMH Books for Young Readers, c2012, 148 pages
You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn't heard of Temple Grandin and
her amazing story. This biography for younger readers includes the major
events that have shaped Grandin's life, her amazing career and the
contribution she's made to the livestock industry because of her love for
animals. As Grandin shares her experiences living with autism, readers gain
a new understanding and respect for her mind and the way it works, and the
unique and worthwhile contributions those with autism can make to society. A
powerful story of a remarkable woman, along with amazing facts about the
livestock industry in the United States make this a fascinating read for
middle-grade readers (grades 5 – 9).
[to top of second column]
Bomb: The Race to Build--and Steal--the World's Most Dangerous Weapon
by Steve Sheinkin,
Flashpoint, c2012, 272 pages
If your children think history is boring, this is the perfect
book to put in their hands. Filled with mystery, danger and
excitement this true spy narrative is the story of the atom
bomb---how it was created, how it was used and how it changed the
world forever. Including bits and pieces of the science behind the
bomb, along with the history of those who created and attempted to
steal it, the book is filled with archival photos and historical
documents interspersed with fast-paced story-telling. This title is
a 2012 National Book Award Finalist and a 2013 Newbery Honor Book
and is a perfect pick for readers in grades 5 - 10.
Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith
by Deborah Heiligman,
Henry Holt and Co., c2009, 272 pages
This biography of Charles Darwin is not only the story of his work
and his thoughts on the theory of evolution, it is a story of family
and the relationship of a husband and wife. Charles' wife Emma was a
woman of religious faith and her ideas and beliefs challenged
Darwin, impacting his thoughts as he wrote his Origin of Species.
The narrative of how Darwin's personal and family life affected his
work---a work that continues to spark controversy and debate between
the religious and scientific communities---will fascinate you. It is
a great book to read along with your children, providing the
opportunity for meaningful discussion of history, science and
religion. Charles and Emma is a National Book Award Finalist and a
Michael L. Printz Award Finalist and is a thought-provoking pick for
young people, grades 9 and up.
To check out these books or to get recommendations for other great
non-fiction summer reads, please come see us at the Lincoln Public
Library, 725 Pekin Street.

Absolutely! (Perhaps)
Absolutely! (Perhaps) is a sparkling comedy on the elusive nature of reality, in which truth is negotiable and identity is performed. It is an adaptation of Luigi Pirandello's first play Così è (Se Vi Pare), and opened at the Wyndham's Theatre in 2003.
In a small Italian town lives Signor Ponza, his wife and his apparent mother-in-law Signora Frola, who he will not allow to visit. With the neighbours gossiping over his cruelty, Signor Ponza claims that Signora Frola is mad and refusing to accept that her daughter is dead, and that he now lives with his second wife. Signora Frola counters the accusation, claiming that Ponza has unwittingly re-married his first wife. Impossibly, the Signora Ponza in question claims to be both daughter and second wife, plunging the play into a tangle of fractious theatricality.
