Pac-12 “communications protocol” for officiating is below.
Feels like the conference could/should address anything perceived to have impacted an outcome — including a questionable spot. Otherwise are we really talking transparency?

Just as a bit of backround, my current gaming group has dumped playing Pathfinder (for reasons I don't really care to get into if it can be avoided) and we decided to play Earthdawn after an almost decade long break. We are currently playing fourth edition Earthdawn, and me and the other veteran tabletop discussed alternating running Earthdawn and Shadowrun. I would be the one running Shadowrun and I'm pretty set on running third edition. My question for anyone who might be able to help me out would be how to do a conversion so my players could play Obsidimen, T'Skrang, and Windlings in the sixth world? Thank you in advance for anyone willing to help. Also, I'm set on the edition of Shadowrun I want to run, as we have tons of material from running it in the days of yore.

What are the challenges of upgrading an existing blockchain to a quantum resistant one?
What you see is what you get: the performance of other blockchains that upgrade later, could be different after the upgrade.
The whole architecture can be designed around post-quantum cryptography.

Lost addresses and the human factor: a partly protected circulating supply after a quantum resistant upgrade
A mostly overlooked problem for existing, non-quantum resistant blockchains when people talk about the future protection against quantum computers is another consequence of the fact that blockchain is a decentralized system. Decentralization is not often seen as a problem, but in this case it does cause a serious issue: if you have managed to change the cryptography of your blockchain, then that doesn’t mean you immediately have your full circulating supply protected without the cooperation and action of your users. So after consensus between nodes is achieved, there are again others you depend on to make the change final. After successfully changing your signature scheme, you have quantum resistant keypairs available, but none of the coins are protected by them yet. You’ve just managed to change your signature scheme, but you have no

Notable Box Office Stories:
-
Much like The Martian before it, The Hunger Games - Mockingjay Part II continues to be the #1 film at the box office mostly due to default. While Krampus low budget made it's $15 million take last week a success, Heart of the Sea is quite the opposite. First opening weak overseas, the epic survival story managed to only make $50 million worldwide so far and only $11 million domestic this weekend. It was already pretty clear that Sea's chances were bad coming up against the behemoth that is Star Wars: The Force Awakens but any chance it had of pushing well past its budget are gone. The film by Ron Howard, his most expensive since Angels & Demons, was expected to be a box office and critical success, but has instead earned neither. Expect the film to end up making at most $30 million domestic. The failure of Sea is part of a whole that is the worst December weekend slot since 1998 when Star Trek: Insurrection topped the box office. Much of this is likely due to the anticipation for The Force Awakens, as very little of the 18-35 crowd showed up this weekend.

It's award season which means we see the traditional post-nomination bumps already starting to happen. Carol and Brooklyn continue to do well in limited screens but the real winner was The Big Short. Opening in just 8 screens the film came in at #15 and pulled in an impressive $720,000 with a $90,000 per screen average. This was the second best per screen average of the year behind Steve Jobs, but if predictions are true that The Big Short is a dark horse Oscar contender, expect it's expansion to be greeted well even in the haze of Star Wars.

Not much else to say other than Inside Out has finally closed. Much like Jurassic World the film lasted an impressive 25 weeks, but never broke the $1 billion mark. The film grossed $356 mil domestic and $851 mil worldwide. Domestically it is the second highest grossing Pixar film and the highest grossing original IP while worldwide it is the third highest grossing Pixar film an

“Boy! Grab the bags and Mia, we’re leaving this place.”
Meteus appears from the metal door with Mia’s mother wrapped in my cloak and strung over his shoulder. His appearance was unsightly and in disarray, with a mixture of red and black blood stains on his face, arms, and toga.
“MOMMYYY!” Mia sobbed while tugging at Meteus’s free hand.
“Metty, what happened in there?”
“No time to talk, we are leaving, now!”
“B-but my blade-”
“We’ll get you a new one, now let’s go!” Meteus shouted.
“Wait-”
“Oh, come-on!”
His patience appeared to be running thin as he promptly grabbed ahold of me and Mia, cradling the two of us under his right arm, and carrying us out of the basement.
What’s going on? I’ve never seen him in such a rush before.
“Mett-”
I began to push some words through my lips, but when I looked up into his eyes, I saw an icy cold glare. I quickly held my tongue, turning my eyes back towards the ground, and felt a chill go down my spine. Even if this swirl of emotions within Meteus wasn’t intended for me, feeling a mere ounce of it rendered me shaking; for the first t
