Q: Regular expression for full ISO 8601 date syntax Update: Currently, a working solution has been achieved with multiple regular expressions used simultaneously
I'm looking for a regular expression that covers the range of acceptable syntax for ISO 8601 dates. Most libraries and regex's only cover a subset or a "simplified" version of 8601, such as RFC 3339, but the full 8601 includes ways to express time durations and intervals. The wikipedia entry for ISO 8601 provides a good overview, but in short these should all be valid dates:
var testDates = {
    'year' : "2013",
    'date' : "2013-01-05",
    'datetime' : "2013-01-05T04:13:00+00:00",
    'Duration only' : "P1Y2M10DT2H30M",
    'Week Duration' : "P1W",
    'Range with start and end' : "2007-03-01T13:00:00Z/2008-05-11T15:30:00Z",
    'Range of Date/Duration' : "2007-03-01T13:00:00Z/P1Y2M10DT2H30M",
    'Range of Date/Duration 1 month' : "2012-10/P1M",
    'Range of Date/Duration 1 week' : "2012-10/P1W",
    'Range of Duration/Date' : "P1Y2M10DT2H30M/2007-03-01T13:00:00Z",
    'Repeating interval 5 times' : "R5/2007-03-01T13:00:00Z/P1Y2M10DT2H30M",
    'Repeating interval weekly indefinitely' : "R/2012-10/P1W",
    'Repeating interval monthly 5 times' : "R5/2012-10/P1M"
}

I'm trying to build a regular expression that will cover all these possibilities. I've pieced a few components together, but am not skilled enough with regular expressions to make them all work as one expression and cover all possible cases. Just doing a simple "OR" between these doesn't seem to work as expected, but perhaps I'm not doing it quite right.
The expressions I've tried include these:
var regex = {
    'Date' : /^([\+-]?\d{4}(?!\d{2}\b))((-?)((0[1-9]|1[0-2])(\3([12]\d|0[1-9]|3[01]))?|W([0-4]\d|5[0-2])(-?[1-7])?|(00[1-9]|0[1-9]\d|[12]\d{2}|3([0-5]\d|6[1-6])))([T\s]((([01]\d|2[0-3])((:?)[0-5]\d)?|24\:?00)([\.,]\d+(?!:))?)?(\17[0-5]\d([\.,]\d+)?)?([zZ]|([\+-])([01]\d|2[0-3]):?([0-5]\d)?)?)?)?$/,

}

I've put together an example script that tries these expressions on each of the dates listed above, but if anyone could provide guidance on combining all these cases into one expression, it would be much appreciated.
The use case that's driving this is to validate an ISO 8601 Date for a JSON Schema document. JSON Schema does provide some flexibility in how something is validated in that you can provide multiple rules or regular expressions to test. In this case, I could solve my problem by using multiple regular expressions rather than one combined expression.
Update: the problem has been addressed so far by using this approach (multiple separate expressions used simultaneously)

If I were to do that, then the one case which I have not solved is a range that starts with a duration and then specifies an end date (Range of Duration/Date)

All the expressions noted before are actually just different combinations of two expressions, one for a datetime and another for a duration.

The only one I've been unable to validate properly is "Range of Duration/Date"

Here's the script:

}

A: Allow me to question the full approach. Dates, instants, and ranges are different concepts, accepting them interchangeably (what I understand from wanting a single regular expression for all of them) will lead to user, programmer, or (even worse) both error.
If the allowed formats are too complex, somebody will make mistakes. Can't your application work with a subset?

A: Is a regex the best/most appropriate solution for this?
It appears that you're really trying to parse a string according to the spec. Just look at how complex some of those regexes are that you've tried.
My suggestion would be either to make simpler regexes that match each pattern mixed in with some if/then code or to use/create a full on parser.
Remember that regexes were designed for pattern matching, not parsing. They're great for pulling out a quick value from a string but not for more complex things.

In rare move, House panel votes to hold AG Barr in contempt over Mueller report
Bart Jansen Kevin Johnson
WASHINGTON – The House Judiciary Committee voted Wednesday to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt for refusing to turn over an unredacted version of the Russia report after an acrimonious session underscoring the country's widening political divide.
The rare rebuke approved by a party-line vote of 24-16 after five and a half hours of debate triggered a new escalation of tensions between the Trump administration and House Democrats pressing for a deeper examination of the president and his outside business empire.
The contempt citation for Barr is the first in a likely series of punitive actions the House is weighing against the administration, which has sought to limit or deny lawmakers' access to witnesses and documents.
The worst possible consequences for Barr – criminal prosecution, jail time and/or fines – aren't likely at all because the Justice Department typically declines to pursue charges for contempt of Congress. Instead, the vote sends perhaps the most powerful message the Congress can muster in its oversight of the executive branch and is a prelude to filing a civil lawsuit for the full report and the underlying evidence that special counsel Robert Mueller collected.
Kerri Kupec, a Justice Department spokeswoman, said Barr made extraordinary efforts to provide Congress and the public details about Mueller's report.
"The attorney general could not comply with the House Judiciary Committee's subpoena without violating the law, court rules and court orders and without threatening the independence of the department's prosecutorial functions," Kupec said.
Minutes before Wednesday's hearing, President Donald Trump took the extraordinary action of asserting executive privilege in an attempt to further block Congress from parts of Mueller's report that Barr redacted.
The clash between the executive and legislative branches sets in motion a constitutional showdown over how much information the Justice Department must provide to Congress. The Judiciary Committee was the first to move to contempt proceedings among a variety of investigations that House committees launched against the president and his administration.
Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., accused the Justice Department of moving forward with a "clear escalation" of differences with the House by asserting executive privilege over the documents sought by the committee. He called the department's action an "unprecedented obstruction by the administration which has now vowed to block all attempts at government oversight."
"There can be no higher stakes," Nadler said after the vote. "We have talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. We are now in it."
Before adopting the contempt resolution, the committee voted 20-12 to approve a Nadler amendment that rejected Trump's claim of executive privilege to block access to the report. Nadler said the privilege assertion is "not a valid claim … because executive privilege has been broadly waived in this case as a matter of law and fact."
The top Republican on the committee, Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia, blasted the resolution as a continuation of the Democrats' "war on the administration" through a "cynical, counterproductive" action.
In addition to voicing their support for Barr, Republicans attacked the language of the subpoena served on the attorney general because it covered grand jury information that is typically among the most protected material in the criminal justice system.
The committee adopted by voice vote an amendment from Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., that clarified that grand jury information won't be subject to the subpoena unless a federal court approves the release of the information. Collins argued that the amendment made the resolution incompatible with the subpoena.
What is contempt?:What is that and can it actually be used?
How often does contempt happen?:Rarely
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders repeated Trump's assertion that Mueller and others should not have to testify before the House and the Mueller report should be the last word on the Russia investigation.
"This is over," Sanders said. "I am 100% certain Jerry Nadler is not going to find something that Mueller couldn't."
The resolution heads to the full House for a vote. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told The Washington Post on Wednesday that Barr should be held in contempt for refusing to release the complete Mueller report to Congress.
Disputes about contempt vote
Throughout the debate, Democrats attacked the administration's claim of privilege to block access to Mueller's report.
"This is not about executive privilege, this is about burying the evidence," said Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif.
"Are you kidding me? You can't assert executive privilege after the fact," said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., noting that Sanders and former White House counsel Don McGahn talked to Mueller.
Republicans accused Democrats of staging political theater rather than pursuing serious government oversight.
Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., said Democrats remain in denial of the president's election.
"For two years now, there has been this nonstop (claim) that the Trump campaign was colluding with Russia," Lesko said. "I believe this was done for headlines. This is good political theater, a political show. But are we getting things done? The answer is no."
Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., accused Democrats of "weaponizing" their majority to take down the attorney general.
Negotiations for settlement collapsed
Justice Department officials met Tuesday with committee staffers to negotiate a possible resolution to the conflict, but the talks were unsuccessful.
"Unfortunately, rather than allowing negotiations to continue, Chairman Nadler short-circuited these efforts by proceeding with a politically motivated and unnecessary contempt vote, which he refused to postpone to allow additional time to explore discussion and compromise," Kupec said Wednesday.
Nadler said Barr's failure to comply with a subpoena for the full report left no choice but to initiate contempt proceedings.
"This obstruction would mean the end to government oversight," he said, urging members to "stand up" to the administration.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, said the president intended to "take a wrecking ball to the Constitution of the United States." She referred to a petition signed by hundreds of federal prosecutors who asserted that Mueller gathered sufficient evidence of obstruction by the president who sought to limit and derail the investigation.
"The attorney general's actions are contemptuous," Jackson Lee said. "I happen to believe 700 former prosecutors."
Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., said the panel's contempt action was warranted by Barr's defiance of the committee's subpoena.
"Somebody said we were afraid," Cohen said. "Yes, we're afraid. We're afraid of the loss of the rule of law."
Republicans argued that the Justice Department made a reasonable offer to provide increased access to the Mueller report. Collins said that option was rejected because the committee's leaders chose to move at "lightning speed" in pursuit of a contempt vote against the attorney general.
"Our democracy deserves better," Collins said.
Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., said the Democrats' demand for the unredacted report effectively would require the attorney general to "break the law" by releasing protected grand jury information elicited by Mueller's investigators.
"There is a character assassination squad running around this town," Sensenbrenner said.
Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Ohio, said the panel's leadership was seeking to "destroy" the attorney general.
"Our Democrats are really ticked off by the conclusions of the Mueller report because it found that the allegations of collusion were a big fat zero," Chabot said.
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, launched a rapid-fire repudiation of the Democratic leadership and criticism of the FBI's handling of the Russia investigation.
"Bill Barr was following the law. What's his reward? They are holding him in contempt," Jordan said.
Impeachment mentioned in debate
Lawmakers from both parties said the contempt proceeding and the pursuit of more information about the Mueller report could lead to impeaching Trump, even though Pelosi and Nadler have downplayed that option.
Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said Barr's refusal to turn over the full report is part of "a cover-up."
"We must get this document," he said, to decide whether to pursue impeachment. "The American people expect us to get it."
Gaetz said Wednesday's debate had "nothing to do with Bill Barr."
"This is all about impeaching the president," Gaetz said.
Constitutional fight brewed for weeks
The Judiciary Committee fight has been brewing for weeks, since Mueller submitted his 448-page report to Barr on March 22.
Barr defended his handling of the report during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last week. He initially released a four-page summary of Mueller's conclusions, finding no conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russians seeking to influence the 2016 election.
Mueller found 10 episodes of potential obstruction of justice but reached no decision on whether to charge Trump. Barr consulted with other Justice Department lawyers before deciding no obstruction charges were warranted.
Barr released a redacted version of Mueller's report April 18. He withheld from the report grand jury evidence, information that could affect pending cases, intelligence secrets and information that could affect the privacy of people not charged.
House Democratic leaders, including Pelosi, insisted on seeing the entire report. The House panel subpoenaed the full report April 19, and Nadler set a deadline of Monday.
Barr said he provided as much transparency as possible about the report. Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd sent the committee a five-page letter May 1 explaining the reasons for not releasing the entire report.

Texas lawmakers consider the death penalty for abortion
Updated Apr 10 2019 11:08AM CDT
AUSTIN, Texas - State legislators stayed up well into the morning hearing emotional testimony about a proposed abortion ban.
House Bill 896 would criminalize abortion and classify it as a homicide. Women who have abortions could be sentenced to the death penalty.
"How essentially one is okay with subjecting a woman to the death penalty for the exact… to do to her the exact same thing that one is alleging that she is doing to a child," said State Rep. Victoria Neave, a Democrat from Dallas.
"I think it's important to remember that if a drunk driver kills a pregnant woman, they get charged twice. If you murder a pregnant woman, you get charged twice. So I'm not specifically criminalizing women. What I'm doing is equalizing the law," said State Rep. Tony Tinderholt, a Republican from Arlington.
The hearing in the House Judiciary Committee wrapped up at 3 a.m. Tuesday.
The bill now goes before the full Texas House for debate.

You see, before I became an adoption professional, I made the same journey as these new families are now making. I became a mother through intercountry adoption.
The day I met my daughter I was in China for the first time. It had taken me approximately 16 hours to fly there and I found myself in a strange country with jetlag. I remember leaving Beijing and boarding a small plane to my daughter's province while the song California Dreamin' was playing, yet no one on board spoke English, as I was the only non-Asian passenger.
Adopting as a single mom, I was traveling by myself and felt more alone than I had in my entire life.
When I met my then 5 1/2-year-old daughter, I was pleasantly surprised as she came to me a little shy but otherwise quite happy and already calling me "Mama." However, the next few days held many challenging experiences for both of us.
It was hard communicating with a child whose language I didn't speak and who also didn't understand mine.
My daughter did not want to leave our hotel room and any attempt to do so would result in crying, tantrums, and resistance. Sometimes I could get her down to the hotel lobby, but as soon as she realized we were going outside she would throw herself on the floor of the hotel lobby, and scream.
When we had appointments, it would help that my Chinese guide could talk to her and explain things, but when it was just me and her, it was hard to get her to understand that we were only going to get food or for a walk. I know now that her heart was full of fear that I was "taking her back." But at the time, we both found ourselves frustrated, isolated by the language barrier, and afraid of things we had no control over.
I have no illussion about how horrible the above must sound to anyone who has not experienced the fears and doubts experienced by families formed under stressful circumstances. Yet by sharing, it is my hope that any family finding themself with similiar doubts feels empowered to reach out to their adoption professional at their placing agency. These are not unique emotions, and support is available.
Each day did start to get better as we continued to develop a routine, and I learned ways to limit TV time, and build trust and bonding through made-up games, and play in the tiny hotel room that was our world for that first week.
At the end of the week we flew out of my daughter's province to Guangzhou, and it was like someone had flipped a switch on her mood.
She was happy to leave the hotel and her fits grew less each day. I realized that her earlier fear of going outside was probably because she was afraid that while we were still in her province we could be going back to her orphanage. After that first plane ride, she began to relax.
We never know how a child will react when placed with their new family. Some will act like my daughter, refusing to go outside. Some will completely shut down and not interact with anyone. Others will grieve, cry often, and resist comfort from their new parents.
It's important for the new parents to have a lot of patience to help their child get through this period. It isn't easy when as a new parent you are also jetlagged and experiencing culture shock in a foreign country.
But, as hard as those days were, they pale in comparison to the great joy my daughter has brought into my life.

Plea deal talks have taken an 'extremely unusual' turn in Arizona mosque burglary case
Nick R. Martin
Two women who filmed themselves using anti-Muslim slurs and taking items from an Arizona mosque could wind up avoiding jail after the elected county attorney has gotten directly involved in ongoing plea deal negotiations.
One expert who spoke to the Southern Poverty Law Center this week said it's "extremely unusual" to see the county attorney take such a special interest in this type of case, and said he couldn't remember a time it's happened in the past 30 years.
The two women, Tahnee Gonzales, 32, and Elizabeth Dauenhauer, 51, have ties to the group Patriot Movement AZ (PMAZ), which is based in the Phoenix suburb of Litchfield Park and has been active in Arizona and Southern California. While known for its support of Republicans, especially President Donald Trump, the group has also engaged in hateful anti-Muslim rhetoric. Its founder, Lesa Antone, has declared "Islam is our enemy."
Police arrested Gonzales and Dauenhauer in March after they posted a video live to Facebook showing themselves walking past a "no trespassing" sign and onto the grounds of the Islamic Community Center of Tempe with three of Gonzales' children in tow.
The women could be seen in the video encouraging the children to use anti-Muslim slurs and to help remove leaflets and other items, including what they said was a Quran, from the mosque. At one point, Gonzales could also be heard yelling slurs at a man who walked out of a building.
Maricopa County Attorney Bill Mongtomery's office charged the women each with two felonies — burglary and aggravated criminal damage. Gonzales was also hit with three child endangerment charges and one disorderly conduct charge, all misdemeanors. Both women pleaded not guilty.
Their trial is scheduled for Sept. 4 in Maricopa County Superior Court, but the case likely won't make it that far.
At a hearing on Thursday, July 12, one of Gonzales' attorneys, Andrew Marcantel, told the judge they were negotiating directly with Montgomery to come up with an "outside-of-the-box resolution" rather than go to trial. He told Judge Mark Brain they expected to have an update within 30 days.
Tahnee Gonzales
Another of Gonzales' defense attorneys, Marc Victor, said in an interview this week he's confident the resolution will include no jail time for his client. He also said Montgomery's office has reached out to the mosque and that discussions are underway to hold a meeting with some of its members. He said that meeting could include Montgomery and may be held publicly, although the details haven't been finalized.
Victor also asked that the Southern Poverty Law Center delay publication of this article, a request which was declined.
Representatives from the mosque did not return a call or email this week seeking comment. Dauenhauer's attorney, Mark Mendoza, also did not return multiple calls for comment. The judge has already agreed to allow Gonzales and Dauenhauer to have contact with members of the mosque as long as Montgomery or one of his deputies is present.
Another question now at play is whether prosecutors intend to ask for a hate crimes enhancement as part of the sentencing of Gonzales and Dauenhauer in any plea agreement. There are no hate crimes charges under Arizona law, but prosecutors can ask for sentences to be increased if the crime is motivated by hate.
A spokeswoman with the Tempe Police Department said after the arrests in March that "hate crimes will be added as an enhancement and will come into play on the sentencing part."
But asked if prosecutors had brought up the possibility as part of plea negotiations, Victor replied, "No, we haven't specifically talked about that."
'Extremely unusual'
One thing is clear, however: It's rare for the county attorney to be directly involved in these types of negotiations.
One of Arizona's best-known defense attorneys, Michael V. Black, told the SPLC he couldn't name a time when any defense attorney had dealt directly with Maricopa County's elected attorney in a case. Black is not involved in the mosque case and spoke merely as an observer.
Elizabeth Dauenhauer
"I've handled as many criminal cases as anybody in the last 30 years in Phoenix. I never ever negotiated with the county attorney at all," Black said. "It is extremely unusual."
A typical plea negotiation, Black noted, is handled by a deputy prosecutor who runs any potential deal up the chain of command for approval. The Maricopa County Atttorney's Office, which handles cases in Phoenix and its surrounding suburbs, is one of the largest prosecuting agencies in the nation with more than 900 full-time employees, according to its website.
Victor acknowledged the process in this case has been unusual, but he said it's not the first time he's dealt directly with Montgomery.
"Bill and I know each other, so in certain cases, under certain circumstances, I'll talk to him about the case," Victor said.
He said he's known Montgomery for "many years," and that the two first met during a one-on-one debate at Arizona State University about whether to legalize marijuana. YouTube videos as well as a post on a now-defunct blog belonging to Victor shows the two of them debated in September 2011 at an event put on by The Federalist Society at ASU.
Victor considers himself an "anarcho-capitalist," which he says is the same thing as being libertarian, although many libertarians would place that categorization on the far-right fringe of their movement. As part of those beliefs, Victor has been a longtime advocate of marijuana legalization. Montgomery, on the other hand, is a conservative Republican who opposes legalization. The two of them have debated the issue publicly on at least two occasions.
That relationship, Victor said, has opened the door for him to deal directly with Montgomery in "several cases, but generally only the ones that are high profile."
Given that the mosque case received national and international attention, Victor said he thought Montgomery might play ball.
"I sat down and thought about what could be a good result here for everybody, what might be a win-win-win, and what kinds of statements that we ought to be sending out there in an enlightened society on these issues," Victor said. "And so that's why I approached Bill on it. I think Bill liked the idea. We approached the mosque. I think they're willing to try to make something happen."
Victor later clarified that he had not approached or been in contact with members of the mosque, and that, as a defense attorney, he is not allowed to contact the victims in the case.
'The lesson needs to be taught'
Patriot Movement AZ leaders Lesa Antone, Jennifer Harrison and Russell "RJ" Jaffe, along with Elizabeth Dauenhauer (second from left), in a photo posted to Facebook in December 2017.
Reached by phone on Monday, Montgomery said he would not speak with the Southern Poverty Law Center "because they're a radical, left-wing, liberal group and I'm not going to help them out on anything anymore."
One of the reasons he cited was the fact that the SPLC had designated Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) as a hate group. ADF, which is based in Arizona, has sought to recriminalize homosexuality in the U.S. and criminalize it abroad. It has also attempted to link homosexuality with pedophilia and promoted the conspiracy theory of the "homosexual agenda," which claims that the LGBT community's struggle for equality is in fact a ploy to indoctrinate children and destroy Christianity.
"They're going after everybody they think is on the right," Montgomery said of the SPLC. (For the facts on how the SPLC defines hate groups, check out this helpful explainer.)
Pressed specifically on the mosque case, though, he eventually offered a no-comment. "I'm not going to comment at this time because we're actively prosecuting the case," Montgomery said.
Victor said Gonzales has changed for the better since her arrest.
"I think certainly my client should not have said the things she said. I've talked to her about that," he said. "I think she's become more educated as this case has gone on. And I think she's going to continue to become more educated and more open-minded as time goes by. And so I expect good things will come from this case."
Victor said he hadn't had any contact, as far as he knew, with members of Patriot Movement AZ and didn't know any details of his client's history with the group.
Gonzales and Dauenhauer echoed some of PMAZ's anti-Muslim sentiments when they went to the mosque on March 4. Among the slurs, Gonzales could be heard on the video she posted saying, "pedophile runs deep in the Muslim community." Dauenhauer joked that Arabic words written on the side of the mosque translated to "I love Satan and I worship the Antichrist."
After the incident, PMAZ distanced itself from the women, writing on Facebook that "two persons who had previously been affiliated with us have crossed a line that violates our principles and beliefs."
The imam of the mosque, however, said at the time he had "mixed emotions" about the arrests.
"However, I think the lesson needs to be taught to everybody who feels they're entitled to infringe on other people's properties and rights," he told the Arizona Republic. "People need to learn."

Not long ago, a CEO who openly practised meditation in the office might be considered weird, and a manager who urged employees to train their minds to be more self-aware on the job would be suspect.
d this year promote meditation for self-awareness as an aid to decision-making and leadership.
Managers are promoting mental-awareness techniques to help employees cut stress and improve communication. And executives are finding meditation helps them stay cool under fire.
Last fall, Kira Leskew found herself screaming on the phone to a supplier who'd failed to deliver a needed custom part.
"I got off the phone, so upset I didn't want to talk to anybody," the owner of Amberwood Doors Inc. in Toronto recalls.
She retreated to her car and tried a meditation technique she'd been studying. "Using breathing to calm down, I went into feel space," she explains.
When she offered to teach the mindful meditation approach to her employees, eight of 10 agreed. After just four one-hour sessions spread two weeks apart, she says she saw a notable increase in teamwork, respect and support.

Publisher of exciting adventure games including Shadowrun and BattleTech
New Catalyst Game Labs' Releases, New Book Announcement
Posted on January 11, 2008 by Catalyst Administration
Various craziness and the holiday season has kept us away from updating CatalystGameLabs.com much over the last few months: bad us, no cookie.
On the BattleTech side of the fence, Jihad Hot Spots: 3072 was released in late 2007. This sourcebook brings the Jihad storyline that started with Dawn of the Jihad and continued with Jihad Hot Spots: 3070 into the year 3072. See Blake Ascending: A Jihad Compilation, below, for a Jihad-related omnibus!
When you cross over the razorwire-tipped fence to Shadowrun's Sixth World, the latest release is January's Corporate Enclaves, a sourcebook that looks at several cities heavily under corporate influence: Neo-Tokyo and Los Angeles. It also includes details on Horizon, one of the new major players in the Shadowrun Setting.
Sell sheets for all our available products are downloadable on our Retailer Page.
First Quarter 2008 Releases
Catalyst is pleased to announce the following books as our First Quarter 2008 releases for Classic BattleTech and Shadowrun Fourth edition. These are listed in no particular order.
Classic BattleTech
For over 20 years the BattleTech Universe has been a steady presence on store shelves and in the hearts and minds of people around the world. Catalyst Game Labs has breathed new life into the game with our Classic BattleTech Introductory Box Set (CAT3500) that's sweeping the world. We have focused on making Classic BattleTech as easy as possible for retailers to sell with our complete package Box Set, as well as the introductory companion Starterbook: Sword & Dragon (CAT35100). This quarter we will complete the trifecta of core introductory products with Technical Readout: 3039 (CAT35121). We've worked especially hard to keep the price down on this massive 304 page book to make it attractive to new players, while adding in plenty of value for the existing fans.
Stock # CAT 35121
Format: Softcover (landscape), 304 pages
Classic BattleTech Technical Readout: 3039 is the perfect "first Technical Readout" companion to the Classic BattleTech Introductory Box Set. Combining the 'Mechs, vehicles and aerospace fighters previously found in Technical Readout: 3025, Revised and Technical Readout: 3026, Revised, this volume features some of the most common units of the Succession Wars. Each machine is illustrated in detail, accompanied by a description of its history, capabilities, game stats, along with their most famous pilots.
Jihad Conspiracies: Interstellar Players II
Format: Softcover, 160 pages (est)
Jihad Conspiracies: Interstellar Players 2 describes several of the most powerful and influential people, organizations, and entities at work behind the scenes of the Word of Blake Jihad. Some of these conspiracies are firmly grounded in Classic BattleTech lore, but shown here in ways never before seen; others have only recently emerged from their own shadows. Gamemasters and players can decide which of these power brokers are real and which are paranoid fantasies spawned by the chaos and fear of the Blakist Holy War!
Blake Ascending: A Jihad Compilation
Stock # CAT35300
Blake Ascending: A Jihad Compilation is an omnibus reprint of the Dawn of the Jihad and Jihad Hot Spots: 3070; the first two sourcebooks in the seminal Jihad plot line. The Blake Ascending sourcebook shakes the Classic BattleTech® universe to its foundation, documenting the opening years from 3067 to 3070. The series of events presented in this book unfold in a rolling format, allowing readers to immerse themselves more directly into the action than ever before. Players of both Classic BattleTech and Classic BattleTech RPG will find framework rules to run any type of campaign in regions through out the Inner Sphere during this chaotic time.
It certainly seems that the Shadows have been slow to evolve in this top selling game line, but Catalyst Game Labs has put tremendous resources into making sure they evolve at a faster rate. Starting in January with Corporate Enclaves (CAT26201) we'll be seeing more books for Shadowrun Fourth Edition than ever. The core Shadowrun, Fourth Edition (CAT26000) is currently at press in Thailand; we made the tough decision to send it overseas after determining that to print it domestically would require us to raise the price. All of the errata from previous printings was incorporated and together with Street Magic (available from FanPro LLC FPR26001), Augmentation (CAT26002) which covers cyberware, bioware and other personal enhancements, and the upcoming Arsenal (CAT 26003) with weaponry & vehicles from big to small, will form the core of any good 'runner's repertoire.
Shadowrun, Fourth edition (5th printing, 1st by Catalyst)
Format: Hardcover, 352 pages
The Shadows Have Evolved.
The year is 2070. The world is not only Awakened–it's wired. Cyber and bioware implants make your meat body better-than-flesh, while the wireless Matrix enhances your perceptions with hyper-real senses. Deals are made in steel and lead more often than gold or nuyen; success and failure live only a razor's edge apart. Creatures of myth and legend walk the streets, while the arcane skills of spellslingers are in high demand. Above it all, monolithic megacorps bleed the world dry, sabotaging each other in covert cutthroat competition as they go to war over the bottom line.
Stock #: CAT 26003
Gear Up!Â
When corpsec is raining lead down on your head, a wardrobe malfunction will get you dead. To survive against gangs, syndicates, and megacorps, shadowrunners need the best gear they can make, buy, or steal. Arsenal covers everything a runner team needs, from weapons and armor to advanced electronics and spy toys to the latest state-of-the-art drones. It also covers the intricacies of the black market and drug trade and provides advanced rules for combat and martial arts, mixing your own chemicals and explosives, and modifying your weapons and vehicles.

It would be great if you folks could get the novel line going again for Shadowrun. It was one of the many reasons that I have kept with the game since the First Edition
Joseph Weber on February 3, 2008 at 8:07 pm said:
Yay!! Arsenal is coming out.
I have to agree, be great if the novels would start up again, liking the new ones.
Not sure who has the rights to those though.

I picked my first boxed set (Battledroids) up at a convention. Will Catalyst have a representative at Orccon 2008, in Los Angeles? (Feb. 15-18) I would love to see this game get back on top, and get due respect again. It would be stellar to have the new Box Set, Sword&Dragon, and TRO 3039 at this Con. to attract new players as well as remind the ones that have left, that BT, is coming back strong and with a seriuos commitment. Thank you guys, your doing a great job.

Hey George,
We're not going to be at Orccon — unfortunately we don't have the manpower to attend a lot of regional conventions, unless they're located near to our staff. I don't know if any of the retailers at Orccon will be carrying our games, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are!

WHAT is the connection between the Michael Caine film 'Get Carter', the murderers of Suzanne Capper and the soon to be ex Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt?
Taking politicians out of the equation amounts to the electorate emasculating itself.
Not obvious I admit. First 'Get Carter'. Dennis Stafford's 1967 shooting of a fruit machine cash collector inspired this classic British gangster film, but it also changed British murder law forever.
When Parliament abolished the death penalty it guaranteed to the British people that life would mean life. No convicted murderer would be released from jail without the agreement of the Home Secretary. If the Home Secretary released a dangerous murderer the electorate could throw him and his party out of office at the next election.
However in 2002 in a landmark decision the European Court of Human Rights ruled that then Home Secretary Michael Howard did not have the legal right to overrule the parole board and keep Stafford locked up. Thus the covenant between the electorate and government was broken and judges and parole boards usurped the role of the electorate and government ministers.
Just under 20 years ago 16-year-old Suzanne Capper was kidnapped, held in a house in North Manchester for a week, tortured and then driven in the boot of a car to Romiley and set on fire. She survived for four days, long enough to name her killers.
In my opinion the savagery and brutality that Suzanne suffered for 11 days was even worse than the victims of Hindley and Brady suffered. While the case was covered locally the attention of the national press was focused on the James Bulger murder, so this murder has not entered into the national memory as might have been expected.
One of Suzanne's murderers Anthony Dudson is now up for parole. This is extraordinarily upsetting for Suzanne's friends and family and in particular Suzanne's mother Elizabeth Dunbar. Apart from the sheer injustice of Dudson being free while Suzanne has been dead for nearly 20 years, Mrs Dunbar is made to feel physically sick at the thought that one day she may bump into Suzanne's killer. This must be unbearable for Mrs Dunbar and she should not have to bear it.
On Mrs Dunbar's behalf I am making representations to the parole board. Like the Moors murderers Dudson and his fellow killers should not be released. I have no confidence that the parole board will not come to a perverse decision and release Dudson even after Mrs Dunbar's and my representations, they are after all unaccountable and unlike the Home Secretary there are no consequences for them whatever view they take.
From the unbearably horrific to the pathetic Ealing Comedy-like performance of the Prime Minister and his Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt (I am writing this two hours before a reluctant David Cameron has to defend his Culture Secretary in the House of Commons again).
The issue is simple, Adam Smith, Hunt's Special Advisor, conspired with Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation in order to assist their takeover bid for BSkyB. He passed on invaluable information and the tactics of Murdoch's opponents to News Corporation. It was Hunt's job, acting in a quasi-judicial capacity, to say if the bid could go ahead, he was obliged to act in an even-handed way.
According to the Ministerial Code of Conduct, Hunt is responsible for the actions of his special advisor. Hunt must have known what Smith was up to, there is no closer relationship within government than that between a special advisor and his minister.
Hunt should therefore be sacked. The Prime Minister may delay the inevitable but I suspect Hunt will have to pay for his own tickets to the Olympics this summer. After this farce, one among many at the moment, some commentators have suggested that this and other quasi-judicial positions which are held by Ministers should be handed over to independent adjudicators.
Graham StringerLike the decision of the Court of Human Rights relating to imprisoned murderers, this would not only remove politicians from power but also the electorate. I have no doubt the Tories wanted to help Murdoch and diminish his main competition the BBC and in return they would expect electoral support from the newspapers in Murdoch's Empire.
I also have no doubt that they would have paid an electoral price for these machinations. British people do not want BBC News replaced by Fox News, but there would be no role for the electorate if an independent adjudicator had made a similar decision.
Politicians are in bad odour following the MPs expenses scandal and the repeated experience of governments reneging on electoral promises, so it is not surprising that popular opinion is in favour of reducing the power of MPs. However taking politicians out of the equation amounts to the electorate emasculating itself.
Of course the political rascals should be thrown out of office, this is the democratic solution, it is not democratic to pass power to unaccountable quangos and individuals.
I would trust any Home Secretary I have ever known or read about from whichever party to make the right decision about Dudson, I could not say the same about a remote and unaccountable parole board.
Graham Stringer is the MP for Blackley and Broughton and the ex-leader of Manchester City Council.
the Whalley RangerMay 1st 2012.
That could be said of any judge, Mr Stringer. That is why we have the separation of powers. The legislature makes the rules, the executive executes, the judiciary judges. Calling for judges to be accountable to the plebs is just downright ludicrous.
Are you diverting from the real topic again?
When politicians fiddle, Yard heads roll without investigation, Olympic backhanders blemish the associated projects before they are even occupied, press listens in on my private affairs and bankers' boards renumerate each other to the hilt, all you worry about is the unaccountability of quangos?
Are you trying to pull up a smoke screen here?
In his second paragraph, Graham Stringer MP demonstrates why we have laws to stop politicians interfering in court cases. Dennis Stasfford and Michael Luvaglio have been protesting their innocence of the murder of Angus Sibbett for 45 years. Anyone writing about the case should mention that fact. Let us leave the arresting to the police, the trial to the lawyers, the verdict to the jury and, Mr Stringer, the reporting to the reporters. MPs get to write the laws. Police, lawyers, juries and reporters have to bey the law, not the politicians.

"Anyone writing about the case should mention that fact." Why? Most criminals claim they didn't do it. They were convicted by a jury of their peers and are therefore murderers.
Parliament has an important part to play in ensuring our laws are right and they are upheld properly. Don't forget, judges are appointed. WE put the politicians there.
Some balance from other local politicians perhaps? Why always Stringer?
Jonathan Schofield -editorMay 2nd 2012.
I dont like the sugestion that the parole board and judges set out to userp a democratic power from the people, that was simply not the case.
Readers should remember that it was the Labour government who brought us the human rights act which opened the existing system up for challenge and change. And guess what, Graham Stringer MP voted for it.
I was at St. Matthews RC High School in Manchester, in the same year as Anthony Michael Dudson. He was a complete bully. If I ever see him on the street I will personally break his neck, knowing what he did.

Norwich Martin Luther King luncheon speakers look to youth as future leaders
Claire Bessette, The Day, New London, Conn.
January 14, 2022, 8:33 PM ·3 min read
Jan. 14—NORWICH — For the Rev. John Van Halen, the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was that he was a great American prophet.
Van Halen looked out at the several dozen people attending Friday's 37th annual King birthday celebration luncheon at Norwich Free Academy and focused on high school and middle school students. Prophets, he said, speak truth that might not be welcomed.
"We've been long in this land without a prophet," said Van Halen, a retired priest from the Charismatic Episcopal Church.
"As you go from here today," he said, "continue to ask God to raise up from his people, especially these young people, a prophet, who will speak God's truth to us even when we don't want to hear it."
Friday's celebration, with the theme "Standing on the Power of Unarmed Truth and Unconditional Love," was curtailed amid the current COVID-19 surge, with fewer attendees, no student performances and a takeout lunch.
The annual Robertsine Duncan Memorial Award, which honors those who serve local youth, was given to Norwich Human Services and to the Norwich Unitarian Universalist Church for their response to the COVID-19 crisis.
Recently retired Human Services Director Lee-Ann Gomes led the agency's effort to secure internet capacity, laptops and mobile devices for families when schools went remote. The agency helped with rental, utilities and food assistance for those who lost jobs. The Unitarian Universalist Church made multiple donations to the city agency to help with the emergency response.
Human Services community case worker Sydney Phelps said Gomes' leadership permeated the agency's mission, and she pledged that the staff would keep doing it after she departed.
"Her time in Human Services was the face that Norwich should always present first," state Sen. Cathy Osten said, "that face of a kind, caring, wonderful, gracious human being."
Unitarian Universalist Church Rev. Dennis Lanoue said his congregation was a small group of people who wanted to help in the COVID-19 crisis. "I want to thank the people in our church who had the courage to stand up and help out all the people that needed to pay their rent, to pay their utilities, to buy food," he said. "We were there, and I'm glad we were."
NFA Head of School Brian Kelly said the pandemic and political strife of the past two years cost more than jobs and lost in-person school time.
"Somewhere in the middle of all of this, we've forgotten what it truly means to be a society," Kelly said. He defined society as a human structure that "furnishes protection, continuity, security and identity for all, all of its members." He stressed that "society matters," such as how people treat one another, express courtesy and apologize when they are wrong, rectify mistakes and treat everyone as human beings.
He said he sees hope from the students he sees on campus every day.
"They have an incredible voice, and a powerful voice," Kelly said, "and I remain inspired particularly by our students. Their strength, leadership and passion make me want to work harder and make this world a more loving, compassionate place for all. Through their voices, we will be better."
Several high school and middle school students spoke Friday, including eighth-grade recipients of Martin Luther King scholarships. Annabelle Aubin and Brian Dutervil, both students at the Integrated Day Charter School, said studying King has inspired them and changed their lives.
"While evil is temporary, truth and love can last forever," Dutervil said. "Evil words, actions can temporarily overpower us, but truth and love will overpower evil itself."
Eighth grader Jizele Joseph-Poinson, 13, a student at Teachers' Memorial Global Studies Magnet School, said it's hard to be hopeful "when all you see on social media today is so much hatred." But she said she and her classmates will try to take King's lessons to heart.
"I believe in my generation and believe that one day we'll have our own modern day Martin Luther King and keep his dream alive," she said.

Pakistan court sentences woman to death for blasphemy
A Pakistani court sentenced a Muslim woman to death after finding her guilty of blasphemy for insulting Islam's Prophet Muhammad in text messages she sent to a friend, an official said Thursday. The woman, Aneeqa Atteeq, was arrested in May 2020 after the man alerted police that she sent him caricatures of the Prophet — considered sacrilegious — via WhatsApp. Under Pakistan's blasphemy laws, anyone found guilty of insulting the religion or religious figures can be sentenced to death.
Vatican website gives space to group demanding female priesthood
The Vatican has given space on its website to a Catholic group that demands the ordination of women priests during consultations ahead of a key meeting next year. While the Church remains opposed to women priests, the inclusion of resource material from the Women's Ordination Conference (WOC) is part of an opening up of debate on a range of issues that has pleased liberals but angered traditionalists. That publication was criticised by Catholic conservatives who have accused Pope Francis and the Vatican of sending mixed signals on traditional teachings.
It happened on a United Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Virginia.

In April 2018, the Wild Womb Podcast invited me for an interview. Host Kaeleigh Terrell and I had an amazing conversation about Birthing From Within - what it's all about, what makes it unique in the birth world, and why it's so valuable for parents and professionals. Kaeleigh was so fascinated by our conversation that she now intends to pursue BFW training - give it a listen to see why!

Controversy looms over Miss BVI Pageant prizes?
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – It's just about three weeks before the Territory sees the staging of yet another Miss BVI Pageant as preparations are moving full speed ahead. However, some contestants and family members have raised the concern about the minimizing of the first place prizes initially promised.
Word reaching Virgin Islands News Online from sources close to the Miss BVI organization is that concerns have been raised about the alleged last minute pulling out of the car as one of the prizes for this year's queen show. "They had the application out with a deadline of sometime in February and on the website and via other means they told the girls that one of the prizes was the car like Shari got, now they want them to sign a new contract and that contract does not have the car in as a prize," stated the concerned source.
Contacted about this concern, Chairperson of the Miss BVI Pageant Committee Ms Alicia Hamm, told this news agency she was not in a position to speak on the matter at the time but has promised to do so when it's more appropriate to her.
The source said that this news was broken to the contestants while in St John, USVI, recently by the coordinators of the Miss BVI pageant and they were also told that they are required to sign a new contract before the pageant. "They already signed a contract with their applications, which were accepted way back in February, early March now to come and change up things and to tell them that they have to sign a new contract is a breach in contract on the part of the organizers," the source said.
The source speculated that the economy is feeling severe strains from the Global Economic Depression which has finally hit the Virgin Islands and the committee may have found themselves in a trap hole for cash. "Honestly I do not believe this is something that the coordinator (name called) wants to do, but I strongly feels that she is under severe pressure from Government, which is the main sponsor of this pageant because they have a financial problem at this time and I stand to be corrected, if I am wrong, whoever was donating the car has pulled out," said the source.
"I think most of those girls went into the competition for what it had to offer, the car being the main and of course the scholarship and I feel that if they are not going to have the car they should at least give the winners money equivalent to or very close to the value of a car. I think this thing right now has dampened the girls' spirit and to God be the glory if they all decide to agree to the new contract and sign on so we could still have a Miss BVI pageant this year," said the concerned source.
Shortly after making contact with Ms Hamm, this News Site attempted to make contact with some of the contestants but was informed that they were summoned to an emergency meeting, which was mainly to address the issues as it had hit the media. The outcome of that meeting is unknown at this time.
Meanwhile, another source close to the Miss BVI Pageant Committee indicated that it was neither advertised on the pageant's website nor was it part of the contestants' contract that a car was among the top prizes. The source also said matters of prizes are not the responsibility of the coordinating body.
As of post time, Virgin Islands News Online was unable to reach the Chairman of the Virgin Islands Festival and Fairs Committee, Mr Marvin Blyden, for a comment.
Just HUSH!!! He is the minister not the Chairperson of festival..If they cant afford a car this year,big deal..Meeno the show was all about winning a car?
we all knew that was going to happen after that car story with Sharie!!!
Perhaps it's time to stop all of this pageant nonsense and begin to focus on what's really important--making sure our children have the right tools to function in a rapidly changing world!!! Instead of focusing on looks....let's focus on books and becoming better citizens to our country and then the world.
Are they running to represent the Country or to win a car? I understand that whatever they promise should be given but I don't think at this point it should be a game changer. Deal with that after the fact. Right now they should be focused on doing their best to become an ambassador for the BVI. WTF?
Hammer meet nail! The goal of the pageant is to find a suitable ambassador for the BVI. An allotment of prizes is an additional benefit. Participating should be based on country pride and promotion of culture. Go back and read the history of the pageant. The Queen was selected by committee to reign over the Festival Parade (no pageant involved). As time changed, the means of selection change, but the purpose should have remained the same.
Now if we insist on awarding prizes, let the local companies provided prizes. e.g. Lunch /dinners at local restaurants, Spa and beauty treatments, week -end getaways, Flights to Caribbean destinations, Ferry passes, Electronics, Jewellery, Gym memberships, Culinary classes, tennis/squash lessons, swimming with the dolphins, free admittance to advancement training programs, training sessions from Toast Masters, health insurance package, home goods, groceries, dance lessons, steel pan lessons (or any other instrument); shall I go on?
are you saying that the recession is only being felt after the ndp got in?
so they are only running to win the car??? Strupesss get out of here!
It should be about the car! no one would go through all that BS for nothing....that is why I did not let my daughter run them just have the car as a prize to lower the young ladies into the show. Get it together "committee"
Back off Alicia, you don't know the sacrifice it takes to do this work. Why don't you throw your hat in the ring and try what she has been doing for years without validation and/or payment. She has a passion for this work and she does it well. In the business of organizing pageants, there are numerous moving piece for which she has no control. So please, keep an open mind, perhaps you should volunteer your time to assist her, you may be able to learn a thing or two.
I dont know why the big fuss over a car? Most of those girls already have a car especially the one with the big red jeep. for heaven sake compete in the show to become an ambassador for the BVI, get a scholarship and represent the BVI in the 2014 miss caribbean world pagent.
Them advertised on them web site big and bold what the prizes are just to get people to run for the show ..put you money weh you mouth is mr. and mrs. committee. Who ever win should sue Marvin fuh the vehicle.
Those who favour the reckless actions of the commitee could do well to remember the story of the frog. It was comfortable as the water in the pot warmed gradually, and before long it was boiled. On the other hand, if the water was hot at the start, the frog would have realised what was happening and just jumped out.
Don't worry yourself about the "BIG RED JEEP" it was not given freely it is hard work and the blessings of the Lord and yes she does look like a sure winner car or no car.
Same said. ..All the girls were good on spotlight. ..people always talking especially when they themselves cannot do what the girls are doing...yall need shut the f@*# up.
get a life and stop holding on to small things.
why dont you put yourself in the girls shoes! that wasnt even a big deal! majority of the time the other girls just repeated what she said especially #2. #1 was short and precise. seemed a bit nervous after her little mistake.

Duke and Duchess of Sussex to break with tradition with baby Archie's christening

Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to break with tradition with baby Archie's christening.
Harry and Meghan are due to have their baby boy Archie christened over the next week, but it turns out the couple won't go down the same route as Kate and William did for their three little ones.
While it's thought the couple will have a traditional ceremony at St George's Chapel in Windsor, reports suggest they won't be allowing press to take pictures on the day.
According to the Sunday Times, privacy is 'more precious' to Harry than most other royals, which is why they've decided to keep the ceremony private.
A source told the publication: 'As Archie is not an HRH he feels he has every right to strictly police his son's privacy.'

The parents have been very protective over their son's privacy ever since his birth, shunning the hospital photocall Diana and Kate opted for, in favour of a private interview a couple of days after the birth.
However, they have given royal fans snippets of their little boy on their official Instagram account – including an adorable snap of Archie holding on to his dad's finger on Father's Day.

Despite keeping the ceremony private, it's likely the parents will share a curated image of the day on their social media as a royal commentator says not doing so is 'unthinkable'.
Speaking to INSIDER, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said: 'I cannot believe they will not release a christening photo.
'They always do, it's a historic occasion. We've not seen much of baby Archie. This would be unthinkable.'
According to HELLO!, the ceremony will be happening next Saturday 6th July, two months after Archie was born.
