Fund Goal and Approach
The fund seeks long-term capital growth. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in the stocks of companies organized, or with a majority of assets or business, in emerging market countries. Normally, the fund will not invest more than 25% of its total assets in the securities of companies in any one emerging market country. The fund invests principally in common stocks, but its stock investments also may include preferred stocks and convertible securities, including those purchased in initial public offerings (IPOs) or shortly thereafter.
In selecting stocks, the portfolio managers identify potential investments through extensive quantitative and fundamental research using a value-oriented, research-driven approach. Emphasizing individual stock selection rather than economic and industry trends, the fund focuses on three key factors:
* value, or how a stock is valued relative to its intrinsic worth based on traditional value measures
* business health, or overall efficiency and profitability as measured by return on assets and return on equity
* business momentum, or the presence of a catalyst (such as corporate restructuring, change in management or spin-off) that potentially will trigger a price increase near-term or mid-term
The fund considers emerging market countries to be generally all countries represented by the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Emerging Markets Index. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a market-capitalization weighted index designed to measure the equity performance of emerging market countries in Europe, Latin America and the Pacific Basin.
The fund typically sells a stock when it is no longer considered a value company, appears less likely to benefit from the current market and economic environment, shows deteriorating fundamentals or declining momentum, or falls short of the portfolio managers' expectations.
Although not a principal investment strategy, the fund may, but is not required to, use derivatives, such as options, futures and options on futures (including those relating to stocks, indexes and foreign currencies) and forward contracts, as a substitute for investing directly in an underlying asset, to increase returns, or as part of a hedging strategy. The fund also may engage in short-selling, typically for hedging purposes, such as to limit exposure to a possible market decline in the value of its portfolio securities.
An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit. It is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. It is not a complete investment program. The fund's share price fluctuates, sometimes dramatically, which means you could lose money.
* Foreign investment risk. To the extent the fund invests in foreign securities, the fund's performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting investments in foreign issuers. Special risks associated with investments in foreign issuers include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political and economic instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are subject to the risk that such currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the value of these investments held by the fund. To the extent the fund's investments are concentrated in a limited number of foreign countries, the fund's performance could be more volatile than that of more geographically diversified funds.
* Emerging market risk. The securities of issuers located in emerging markets tend to be more volatile and less liquid than securities of issuers located in more mature economies, and emerging markets generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. The securities of issuers located or doing substantial business in emerging markets are often subject to rapid and large changes in price.
* Foreign currency risk. Investments in foreign currencies are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline relative to the currency being hedged. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Foreign currencies are also subject to risks caused by inflation, interest rates, budget deficits and low savings rates, political factors and government intervention and controls.
* Risks of stock investing. Stocks generally fluctuate more in value than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is the chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and falling prices. The market value of a stock may decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect the company or its particular industry.
* Liquidity risk. When there is little or no active trading market for specific types of securities, it can become more difficult to sell the securities at or near their perceived value. In such a market, the value of such securities and the fund's share price may fall dramatically. Investments in foreign securities, particularly those of issuers located in emerging markets, tend to have greater exposure to liquidity risk than domestic securities.
* Non-diversification risk. The fund is non-diversified, which means that the fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. Therefore, the fund's performance may be more vulnerable to changes in the market value of a single issuer or group of issuers and more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a diversified fund.
Please refer to prospectus for additional Risk Details.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. Download a prospectus, or a summary prospectus, if available, that contains this and other information about the fund, and read it carefully before investing.

Revitalizing Teaching through Learning
New ISOP Program Brings Local Teachers to Campus.
Published: Thursday, January 03, 2002
Everything I learn in the program will affect how I teach and interact with my students.
Once a month, a select group of Los Angeles County teachers leaves their K-12 classrooms to take a seat at UCLA-led seminars where they are being reconnected to the world of scholarship by leading professors in the humanities, the arts, social sciences and sciences.
Through lectures, readings and films on themes that reach across continents and historical eras, many in the "Teachers as Scholars" program being run by International Studies and Overseas Programs (ISOP) are rediscovering the very reasons why they became teachers in the first place.
For example, participant Jill Delaney, a teacher from Parthenia Elementary School, explained that she attended "out of a passion for learning and a desire to become part of a broader educational community … to talk to colleagues and (teachers from) other grade levels, especially about issues that cross age or cultural boundaries."
Beginning last summer, UCLA became the Southern Californian headquarters for "Teachers as Scholars," a national professional and intellectual development program founded by the Princeton-based Woodrow Wilson Foundation.
"Two scholarly traditions have built the UCLA program," said ISOP outreach director Jonathan Friedlander, who spearheaded the program. "One is the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Fellowship study that has fostered learning throughout America and worldwide. The other is ISOP, which, over a course of more than 20 years, has gained a reputation of excellence through programs that guide teachers through the challenges of 21st century globalization so that they, in turn, can foster a wider perspective of the world in students."
Other "Teachers as Scholars" sites include Harvard University, Princeton University, University of Notre Dame, University of Michigan and Carnegie Mellon.
The inaugural seminars at UCLA are focusing on a theme that resonates across many different disciplines and cultures. "The End of Childhood: A Journey of Hope and Discovery" engages teachers in a scholarly discourse on the meanings and manners of coming of age. Based on their principals' recommendations, teachers are selected to attend various seminars that focus on the theme from the perspective of Latin America, medieval and modern Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, among others. They delve into how various cultures define "the end of childhood," what rites and customs signify the advent of adult status, how growing up amidst war or social turmoil colors that experience and how literature portrays "coming of age."
Teachers participate in assigned academic and literary readings, research projects, film screenings and classroom discussion, as well as continuing online discussion groups to enable them to extend the learning experience beyond the seminars and interact with a wider educational community that includes UCLA scholars.
"I look forward to dialoguing with professors," said John Lasko from Manual Arts High School. "The main objective for me is to refresh myself in scholarly notions about transitions to adulthood and to explore these from perspectives such as that of the anthropologist."
For Sandra Arnold of Palisades Charter High School, the program offered "the opportunity to forge new career relationships that will make me a better teacher, … and to bring ideas back to the classroom and make it a richer place."
"I believe everything I learn in the program will affect the way in which I teach and interact with my students," Delaney said. "After all, isn't this what education is all about?"

A New Study Produces Grim Findings
MOUNTAIN STATES – Is the snowsports industry the canary in the coalmine when it comes to the economic impact of a warming climate?
A study released last week by an economist and a climate researcher in New Hampshire says yes, and paints a grim picture looking ahead to the rest of this century. Climate Impacts on the Winter Tourism Economy of the United States concludes, "Winter as we know it is on borrowed time."
Start with the facts: Skier visits for 2009-10 topped 59.8 million. Snowmobilers made 14.5 million day trips. Together they support an estimated $12.2 billion winter tourism industry that generates 210,000 jobs and more than $3 billion in local and federal taxes. But in poor snow winters, those numbers plummet. And with a warming climate, the likelihood of poor snow winters is increasing.
"In the many U.S. states that rely on winter tourism," the report stated, "snow is currency and climate change is expected to contribute to warmer winters, reduced snowfall, and shorter snow seasons. This spells economic devastation for a winter sports industry deeply dependent upon predictable, heavy snowfall."
Last year, for example, brought the fourth-warmest temperatures in 115 years and the third-lowest snow totals nationwide since the start of satellite tracking in 1966. Average winter temperatures have increased 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit since 1970, with minimum nighttime temperatures rising the most. Winter temperatures are expected to rise another 5-7 degrees F before the century is through.
Last year's dry winter caused 50 percent of ski areas to open late and 48 percent to shut early. And it's not just the ski resorts that suffered. Restaurants, lodges, bars, gas stations and grocery stores that rely on winter-sports tourism lost out as well. "The damage to the environment goes hand in hand with damage to local economies and individual businesses," according to the study.
Using data from the National Association of Ski Areas, the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration climate data and other sources, the report's authors compared economic impacts of low-snow winters to those of high-snow winters between 1999 and 2010, and quantified what those living in snow country already knew anecdotally: that shorter seasons with less snow mean losses in revenue and jobs.
The difference in economic impact averaged 6-13 percent nationwide, varying from state to state. Wisconsin saw a whopping 36 percent difference in skier visits, when comparing good and bad snow years; California's difference was only 5 percent. Colorado's numbers showed an 8 percent change. But when you consider the size of the industry here (12 million skier visits a year – 20 percent of the nation's total, supporting 37,000 jobs), that 8 percent drop represents 1,900 jobs and $154 million in annual revenue.
Nationwide, a poor snow year means about 13,000 fewer jobs, 15.2 million fewer skier days, the loss of $1 billion to ski resorts and $810 million in value added to the U.S. economy.
The study was commissioned by the National Resources Defense Council and Protect Our Winters, a group of athletes and activists organized in 2007 by pro-snowboarder Jeremy Jones with the mission of lobbying for effective climate legislation.
A group from POW visited Washington, D.C., last year but was told, according to their website, that "it would be nearly impossible for Congressmen to support climate legislation without knowing the economic impact of climate change on their individual states."
So, POW joined forces with environmental heavyweight NRDC to commission the study, authored by University of New Hampshire researchers and Ph.D. candidates Elizabeth Burakowski (of the Natural Resources and Earth Systems Science Program) and Matt Magnusson (of the Whittemore School of Business and Economics).
The study showed that 38 states benefit from winter-sports tourism. Colorado has the most riding on solid snow. California, New York, Vermont, and Utah round out the top five snow-sport-dependent states.
The study authors also pointed out that snowmaking, which the majority of downhill ski resorts rely on in tough times, could itself succumb to climate change. As nighttime temperatures continue to heat up – at a quicker pace than daytime temps – snowmaking could cease to be a viable option.
Because snowmobiling depends entirely on natural snow, the study found, a reliable snowmobile season of 50 days or more of natural snow cover could be completely eliminated by 2100.
A few other projections:
- Only four out of 14 major ski resorts will remain profitable by 2100 under a higher-emissions scenario. (The authors tested both higher- and lower-emissions scenarios, using an economic model called IMPLAN that calculates direct, indirect and induced economic impacts. The scenarios incorporate assumptions about population, energy use and technology through the end of the century.)
- The Northeast will likely have its ski season shortened by 50 percent.
- Park City, Utah, will lose all mountain snowpack by the end of the century, while Aspen will be confined to the top quarter of the mountain, under a higher-emissions scenario.
- Snow depth is expected to decline by 25 percent across the western United States and will disappear entirely at lower elevations.
"For those whose livelihood depends on a predictable winter season," the report concludes, "such unpredictability and lack of snow can translate into a precipitous fall in revenue, an early economic indicator of what climate change looks like."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Loved these!!!! So perfect in every way. The paper is gorgeous. I went with an envelope that has a very pointy seal. So chic and fun! The lavender color is gorgeous!"
"We ordered these invites in blue and they look EXACTLY like the image online, so that was great. The online ordering process at one point implied you could get a small picture on the back, and we liked that idea, but as it turned out these invites aren't recommended for pictures because of the texture of the card. We hadn't picked it for the picture option so it was fine, but just a heads up. Speaking of the textured card, it feels really substantial and looks great. We got the envelopes printed with return address and those look great too. Nice paper, crisp font."
"This invitation was just what I was looking for because it is simple yet elegant. I was able to easily choose my color and add custom printing to the back. They arrived quickly and are beautiful."
"The design staff was so on top of the ball. They sent the invite in for first review, and I had a small adjustment. They emailed back with the updated copy within 10 minutes. I can't say they always act this fast, but I was so pleased! Also, delivery time was impeccable. The invites were almost a week ahead of schedule, and since we were running out of time to send them, I was so so happy! I highly recommend their services and products, any Bride, mother or party planner! They are attractive and impressive."
"This invitation met all of my expectations, from the wonderful quality of the paper, to the color of the ink (I chose Calypso, a bit brighter than the blue on the sample I ordered) and the overall look of the invitation. I had ordered ten samples, and it was a tough call on which invitation to choose - they all were of high quality. This invitation is simple yet somewhat elegant, which was the look the bride and groom were going for. This was a perfect choice for us."

Maybe it has a Left-hand thread ?
You can put it against a piece of wood to hold the blade.
I'm hoping this is close enough to a Shower & Tub question -
I used a diamond cup wheel for the first time to remove adhesive residue on a concrete bathroom floor. It is a 4 1/2" double row spin-on DeWalt DW4774, so it doesn't use the backing flange, lock nut and wrench all my other wheels use. It worked like a charm but now I can't get the darn thing off!
Is there a trick or a special tool for this? It seems like it's going to take a lot of leverage but I don't know whether to grab it by the holes or the segments or what. I hate to damage or unbalance it, they ain't cheap!
Thanks for any help.

Maybe it has a Left-hand thread ?
You can put it against a piece of wood to hold the blade.
Thanks, but I'm afraid it is right-handed. There are flats on the top of the wheel but there's not enough space between the wheel and the dust extraction shroud to get a wrench on it.
Old Retired Computer Programmer

On some, the shroud can be removed making access possible. Some grinders come with a custom wrench that has an offset in it, and it's thin enough to get to the flats. I've no idea where mine is, and if yours had one, you may not know either!
If you can put a wrench on the cup anywhere, then use a mallet to give it a whack. Just make sure you're unloosening it!

Preparations for hurricane Isaac have temporarily interrupted my project but I did double-check the exposed spindle threads with the grinder's lock nut, the threads are indeed right-handed. A section of the shroud is removable, but my wrench is the dual-pin type and the pins keep it from getting to the flats. I think you're right, I'm just going to have to whack it with something.
Thanks for your reply.

You need a sharp impact to loosen it - something that is applied faster than the inertia of the motor shaft to get it to start to spin off. That's easier if you have a lever functionally making the cup larger in diameter (i.e., the wrench sticking out).

It would be nice if they all had a shaft lock.
Before smashing it is it possible to put the cup wheel in a vice and then press the lock pin and twist the grinder? I have had hole saw bits stick on me that have never come off, and trust me they have been Whacked and Whacked.
What about a little heat on the cup wheel?
If it resorts to blows then make sure you hit it in the right spot. It is very hard to get leverage clamping to a round fitting.

Whacked it with one of my special tools.
Bosch suggested I use one of their wheels that are unthreaded and take the usual flange and lock nut. I suggested they send me a sample to test. He laughed.
Oh well, probably not the last novice mistake I'll make. Thanks for the replies.

Just put some gloves on and put a little muscle into it. If you're having problems like this, maybe working with tools isn't for you.

For PC players who can't tolerate a narrow Field of View (FOV,) it's been a difficult few weeks. Zeno Clash 2, Metro: Last Light and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger are all recent releases to have suffered from this problem.
To their credit, ACE Team popped out a quick patch for Zeno Clash 2 (no small undertaking as the FOV in that case was linked to in-game animations) and Last Light got a config file solution from 4A Games. Gunslinger has yet to offer a solution, but it's also the most recent release of those three. Hopefully Techland will come up with something soon.
I've singled out those games purely on the basis that they're recent titles that have brought the FOV issue back into the public eye (so to speak); they're far from the only offenders.
[caption id="attachment_38415" align="aligncenter" width="640"] If only you could punch the FOV in the face too.[/caption]
In fact, it's a regular problem PC players have to deal with. Especially when it comes to titles that are getting a simultaneous console release.
Before we get to why this is such an issue with some players though, let's have a quick refresher on what Field of View actually refers to. The best way to do that is with a couple of visual aides.
Here's an image from BioShock Infinite (chosen because it's a recent title with an FOV slider) taken at 1980x1080. In this shot, the FOV is at its minimum in-game value.
[caption id="attachment_38418" align="aligncenter" width="640"] I'm only prepared to buy a hot dog if this stand also sells popcorn. Alas! I have no way of knowing![/caption]
This next shot is, again, taken at 1980x1080 but this time has the FOV slider set to its maximum level.
[caption id="attachment_38417" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Hooray, now I know I can order a hot dog and popcorn! But wait, that sounds disgusting.[/caption]
It's an image taken in exactly the same location, but you should be able to see how the wider FOV in the second shot allows the player to see more on the peripheries of the scene. See how it shows the full hot dog stand on the right and the 'False Shepherd' poster on the left? That's the benefit of a wider FOV.
Infinite's FOV slider only maxes out at 85, with many PC players preferring (where possible) to set it to 110 or even higher. At those levels, the difference is even more pronounced.
But beyond the obvious visual benefits of making a game look and feel less 'cramped' to play, why is FOV so important to some people?
For the answer that perplexing question, let's turn to renowned internet physician Dr. Herbert Chunder.
[caption id="attachment_38414" align="aligncenter" width="320"] IncGamers is in no way affiliated with Private Eye. However, we do like them.[/caption]
Thank you Peter. You see folks, when a game has a narrow FOV on the PC it super-charges the person's monitor and sends out little bolts of gamma radiation that can cause increased nausea and testicular shrivelling.
Err ... I don't think that's ...
The radiation particle-bosons impact the part of the brain we doctors refer to as "The Viewomatiea Majora" and it scrabbles a person's vision, causing motion sickness and ...
Dr. Chunder?
You're not actually a real doctor, are you?
Right. Moving on.
[caption id="attachment_38420" align="aligncenter" width="536"] Science! Probably. I didn't draw this.[/caption]
He was right about the motion sickness though.
Narrow FOVs exaggerate camera movements, which can be a disaster for people more prone to that type of nausea. On the PC, this problem is compounded by how close most players sit to their monitors.
Console FOVs are much less of a problem, because you tend to be sat a fair distance away from the (TV) screen and the camera's movements are mitigated.
Of course, the other reason the past generation of console releases have stuck with narrow FOVs is for hardware purposes. The older architecture doesn't have to render as much stuff on screen, so the console can maintain a stable framerate.
In general, that particular bit of hardware trickery doesn't need to be employed on the PC. Far better to eke out smoother performance by lowering the resolution, or messing about with some graphics options. Maybe toning down the anti-aliasing or sticking shadows on medium. On the PC, we always like to have more graphical options. Forcing a default FOV goes completely against this ethos.
[caption id="attachment_38416" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Top tip: Putting a solid black border around your game will not solve the FOV problem.[/caption]
Yet developers still seem to persist in shipping games that lack PC-friendly FOV options, and this can be a serious problem for people who suffer from motion sickness.
For them, it's akin to the game being released with a crippling bug that prevents completion. Depending on the severity, they may be able to get away with regular breaks or not really be able to play at all.
Releasing a game with no PC FOV options effectively denies some people the chance to play it. It's not just a matter of taste, like visual style or a particular gameplay design decision, it's an objective problem.
The ease with which FOV changes can be implemented in a game must presumably vary depending on the graphics engine used and whether (as in the case of Zeno Clash 2) it's tied to specific animations. I'm not going to profess to be any kind of coding expert here, there may well be other hurdles too. But given how often a patch appears after customer complaints, or a diligent modder finds a way to fix the issue, in most cases it doesn't seem to be a monumental task.
[caption id="attachment_38419" align="aligncenter" width="640"] With the power of narrow FOV, spiders can appear closer to Tim's face at all times.[/caption]
So hey, developers, if you're releasing your game on PC and its default FOV is kinda narrow, please consider adding a slider. Or at the very least a fairly simple config file tweak.
It'll not only make your game world feel more expansive and less cramped, but also make the title bearable for anyone who suffers from motion sickness. Development time aside, there's literally no downside to including FOV options; but a great deal to gain from appreciative players.
Do the right thing. Make FOV options mandatory on all PC releases. Please.

Why good FOV options are crucial to PC games

Really good explanation and reasoning, sir! And I\'m totally not just saying that because I work with you.
Two counterpoints.
1) The FOV in Last Light didn\'t bother me that much, which is why I don\'t think I bothered mentioning it in the review. It was a little claustrophobic, yes, but most of the game is anyway - it was one of the (rare) cases where it sort of worked with the game, particularly when you\'ve got gas mask effects blurring up the screen edges anyway. I\'ll have to try fiddling with the config for my next playthrough, though. I can imagine it still would\'ve caused issues for the motion sickness sufferers.
Also: I think that\'s actually one of the scorpion beasties rather than the spider beasties, but they\'re practically identical and turn up in the same places anyway. Nonetheless I hate for you including that picture, even though you warned me about it beforehand.
2) The other issue with FOV - which I\'ve noticed with a few games when I\'ve manually altered it in config files, like in Dead Space 3 - is that the part of the screen the game *thinks* is invisible is regularly used by devs to hide stuff. Like, say, characters blinking out of existence at the end of a cutscene. It\'s not really a problem in gameplay terms but it\'s a huge immersion breaker, and that *is* a problem in anything even remotely atmospheric.

(1) Yeah, I totally accept that a certain FOV is sometimes used as a stylistic choice (kind of the same as Resident Evil\'s intentionally terrible camera angles.) It can work well too - but I think developers would still benefit from adding a \"if this is making you sick, try checking this box to raise the FOV\" (or whatever) in those cases. Like a fail-safe, you know. Sure, it means not every player is getting the TRUE ARTISTIC VISION, but at least they can all play the thing.
That\'s a question of whether artistic intent trumps utility, I suppose.
(1b) Oh yeah, you\'re right, that is a scorpion. Well, it\'s still suitably horrifying!
(2) Haha, yes, messing with the FOV too much can definitely cause some quirks. I guess that\'s down to whether the game was ever designed with a wider FOV in mind. If it wasn\'t, and a patch/tweak has to be implemented after the fact, you\'ll probably run into that stuff. Again though, I think it\'s worth the immersion breaking if it allows someone to actually play without getting ill.

She wanted to be the very best... Like no-one ever was..
So she did...
She set out on her own journey, received all 8 badges, and even stopped Team Rocket's revival...
She defeated the Elite Four, including the Champion and became the greatest trainer in Johto, much to Silver's dismay...
Then, she explored Kanto and fought the Gym Leaders there..
But they weren't much of a challenge for her either..
...Until she went to Mt. Silver and fought the man of legend. A man people talk about to each other in hushed whispers. Red. The true Champion...
He was one of the hardest challengers she ever faced. And after the greatest battle Lyra ever fought, Red lost too...
Once she was named the Champion in both regions, she moved on to Hoenn and Sinnoh and fought all the trainers and Gym Leaders there...
After being crowned the Champion in both of those regions as well, she headed back to her home in New Bark Town..
Now, she has nothing left to do...
It has been 5 years since the Champion went on an adventure. Her name was none other than Lyra. The brown-haired girl was now just lazying on her bed with her Pokemon, Ledian, who was looking out the window. The flying and bug type Pokemon buzzed about. Its trainer groaned as she placed a pillow over her face and rolled all over her bed. Her Ledian jumped on the bed and Lyra looked at her Pokemon. "Ledian, I'm sorry we haven't went out that much since I became the Champion... for the fourth time now. Its been boring since Ethan and his Marill left to go to Sinnoh. Also, Silver... Who knows where he's been lately... I miss them both..." Lyra sighed, digging her whole face into the pillow. She muffled her noises using the pillow.
"Ledi... Ledian... Ledi Di!" the bug and flying Pokemon crawled up to its trainer and tried to cheer her up. It stood up next to Lyra's head and gently gave her a pat on the head.
"Thanks, Ledian. You're my only friend!" Lyra stood up from her bed, looking at her reflection in the mirror and saw her hair was all messy. "I'm not having a good start of a day." She sighed, grabbing her hairbrush to start brushing her hair. Nothing was going right. Her bangs were spiking out in the wrong direction. "Stay put, you stupid hair!"
Lyra's Ledian started to giggle at its trainer's stupidity, "Ledi Ledian... Ledi!"
"Aw, shut your Meowth, Ledi-" Before Lyra could throw the hairbrush at her laughing friend, Ledian unleashed its Psybeam attack at its trainer and froze her in place.
"Le Le Ledi!" Ledian laughed.
"Grrr... I'm going to get you when I'm not frozen anymore, Ledian!" Lyra said as she gritted her teeth.
"Dian Dian Le!" Lyra's Pokemon waved goodbye and left its trainer frozen.
"LEDIAN!" she shouted and when she was free, she looked at herself in the mirror again. "NOOO! MY HAIR IS EVEN WORSE NOW!" Outside her window, she could hear her Ledian giggling to itself.
Later that night, Lyra was on her laptop, looking at a news website about Pokemon Contests, when she got an email from Prof. Oak - a well known Pokemon Researcher. Her eyes grew wide and a big grin spread out on her face. So she sat up from bed, dug out her yellow bag that she used to carry around years ago from her closet, and started to put things inside it. Her Ledian woke up from the racket, flew up to the window, and watched its trainer pack.
The brown-haired girl saw her Pokemon had woken up. "Oh, Ledian. I woke you up. It appears there's a new place called Unova! Prof. Oak just told me by email!" Lyra said, putting her pink PokeGear on the side of her bag. "There's new Pokemon and Gym Leaders we can battle!"
Lyra's Ledian flew next to her, showing the powers of its Aerial Ace attack, "Ledian Ledi!" it happily exclaimed.
"Of course you can come! Along with Meowth and Altaria!" she said, grabbing her Ledian and hugging it.
"Ledi!" the Pokemon smiled at its trainer.
The trainer decided to wear her old outfit. Since when she had stopped travelling, she grew a little taller, her chest was now more buster and her arms and legs were more tough as rock. So she just wears her overall straps around her hips and the red long sleeved top is now a t-shirt with a hood. It was gift from Silver for her 15th birthday. It has an image of a white bow on it and pockets in the front. She brushed her hair, which is now past her shoulders and no longer spiky, but she still ties it as two ponytails and wore her white hat with the big red bow on it. "Looks like I'm all set, Ledian!" Lyra giggled at her Pokemon and saw her mom outside her bedroom door. "Mum... I..."
"You're finally going on a new journey again, Lyra," her mom said, walking up to her, with a small bag in her hand.
"Yes, mom. May I?" Lyra asked quietly, trying to keep her cool.
Her mom smiled, "You're a trainer, you have your own Pokemon to take care of you. Of course I'll let you go," her mom replied, handing her the small bag. "Here's the money I saved up for you from when you went on your first journey."
"Oh, wow, that's a lot! Thanks, mom!" Lyra was so happy that she hugged her mom tightly and cried a bit. "I promise, I'm going to call you the first moment I arrive in Unova! I'll see you later, mom. I love you!"
"I love you too, honey! Remember, don't talk to strangers! And don't forget to change your underwear."
Lyra gave her mother a look of disbelief, "I'm already 15, mom!"
Her mom waved goodbye at her embarrassed daughter, who ran outside with her running shoes on. Once she was out of sight of her house, she looked up at the night sky. With her Ledian by her side, she was ready for anything, "Unova... Here I come!"

Merino Wool Felt Coasters
Modern design meets traditional fabric with these felt coasters that come in packs of four. Moisture-resistant wool pools water on the surface without absorbing. Looks great on a lux coffee table, with no harsh edges to scratch it. Made in L.A. (
The search for the perfect coaster ends here, with a piece of thick, colorful, water-resistant material that doesn't scratch the surface of your coffee table. Felt is the world's oldest textile, and its versatility has lent 8,000 years of use in fashion, home design, musical instruments and even car parts.
Felt is basically the matted fibers of sheep, so it has all the virtues of wool — warm, waterproof, resilient, durable — but is denser and more compact. Merino wool, from which the coasters are made, is also prized for its ultra fine fibers which give it a soft feel. A luxe accoutrement to your holiday table, for jovial guests wielding condensation-dappled wine goblets around your beautiful wood furniture.
Use & Care
Each of the coasters is cut from a 5mm die and colored with Oeko-tex dyes, which are quality tested to be free of harmful chemical substances. Part of the utility of these coasters comes from requiring little or no maintenance. If spillage does occur, gently dab moisture off with a dry cloth. The natural oil content of the wool wicks off stains and water.
Production & Design
Image from the Graf & Lantz workshop in Los Angeles.
The product of a German structural engineer and Japanese wood artisan-trained carpenter who produce a line of felt, leather and canvas products in their workshop in Los Angeles. They rediscovered felt for what it is - a traditional, extremely versatile material - and were inspired by its potential, working it into their mix of ideal materials for their line of accessories, which focus on modern lines and structural aesthetics.
The combination of influences from Japanese carpentry in the traditional style of wa daiku, and architectural design, make up the two designers' philosophy of understated luxury meets traditional techniques.
The wool used to make the felt coasters is the best imported from Germany, dyed with Oake-tex quality tested dies, then shaped and cut with a 5 mm die-cutter by their small team of experienced makers.

How It Works
Merino fibers have a complex structure with a hydrophobic exterior (water repelling) and a hydrophilic interior (water holding). This makes the fabric dry to the touch yet moisture-resistant at the same time. It's also odorless and stays that way by being naturally anti-microbial. This means odor doesn't bond to the material because bacteria can't find a solid environment to grow on.

GDC 2012: The Secret World (Impressions)

It is 9:20 and things are not going well for the Funcom team. Moments before the 9:00 appointment, the room they were showing the game in lost power knocking all the PCs offline and taking out video switcher that allowed them to rotate through the various computers. As the tech team struggled to get the PC's back online and working correctly, presentation team tap danced around asking questions and making idle chatter with the cadre of press in the room.
Eventually they got the demo working (well mostly) and we dived into the presentation and checked out some of the new gameplay and features. Why do I bring these issues you ask? Because good games can muddle through a bad demo but great games shine through a horrible demo and that's exactly what The Secret World did, it shone through and actually got me excited about the game.
I've been following
The Secret World
since it was
over five years ago as Funcom and the first time I'd seen the game in person since
PAX Prime 2009
. Funcom is doing something different with The Secret World as they are eschewing the typical Sci-fi/Fantasy trappings of most MMO's and setting the game in modern time. You will join one of three features three secret societies (Illuminati, Templar, or Dragon) who trying to save the Earth from evil and as well as trying to establish control themselves.
One of the new features they showed off in the demo was how your gear determines your class in the game. What's cool about this is that you can dynamically re-class your character in game without having to resort to logging out and re-loading an alt. This means that as you group up with others you can easily change your characters role in the game to adapt to the environment you are in as well as the make-up of your group. It seems like the only alt-characters you will need in the game will be for those who want to explore all three of the different factions in the game.
We also got to see the crafting system in the game. I'm not normally a crafting guy but the system was interesting as you could break down generic items into their components and then combine those basic minerals into new components which could then be crafted into far superior weapons. I also dug how the crafting system is actually grid based and you create the shape of the item you want in the grid. Want to create an axe, make it axe shaped. Want to make a glyph? Put them in a diamond pattern. It's an interesting twist on the crafting system that actually seems a bit more than what you see in most MMO's.
We also got to see one of the dungeon raids in the game. What was interesting about the dungeon is that it was actually told as a flashback and had us traveling back in time a bit. Sure there's some suspension of disbelief that goes along with this approach as we were using some modern weapons in the raid but it is kind of a cool concept as it is how they are telling the overall plot of the story. The dungeon also showed off how dynamic the combat system is as you're not just going to be sitting there running the same macros over and over again and will be forced to move around as you fight large mobs of monsters.
Despite the technical issues that plagued the demo (and prevented us from seeing everything they wanted us to see) I came away looking forward to The Secret World because of some of the cool features mentioned above as well as because the lore and background of the game feels rich and deep. Where else will you have a game where you're exploring the Carpathian Mountains in Transylvania to figure out what a bunch of mutant vampires who were experimented on by Stalin are up to? It just feels like there's a very rich experience there to explore and I'm interested to go hands on and try the game myself when it's released in June.

During the Freshman and Sophomore years, the centerpiece of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholars Program is the Scholars Seminar (SAHS-UE 2 003 & 004), which organizes scholar activities, including travel colloquia around an annual theme chosen by the scholars. Discussion, debate, outside speakers, social activities, a play that they construct, a group community service project allow scholars to explore the year's theme creatively, bringing in issues of leadership development, current events, multiculturalism, social justice, and community. This year's theme is "Injustice Anywhere is a Threat to Justice Everywhere".
Scholars enroll in the Scholars Seminar during their Freshman and Sophomore Years. As Juniors and Seniors, while they continue participation in various aspects of the Program, they do not enroll in Scholars Seminar.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholars are not required to enroll in Scholars Seminar during junior and senior years. They are, however, expected to continue community service and meet the minimum 3.5 GPA expected of Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholars.
During the senior year, scholars typically complete internships/ fieldwork connected with degree requirements, and/or may participate in departmental honors and/or honors research.
Scholars are expected to maintain a 3.5 GPA or better and to participate actively in program activities as outlined.

Senate Dems curb filibuster, risk future problems
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats quickly enjoyed the first fruits of a milestone Senate vote making it harder for the Republican minority to block President Barack Obama's nominations: They swiftly ended a GOP filibuster against one of his top judicial selections and prepared to do the same for two others.
Over the longer term, they might regret what they did and how they did it, Republicans and others are warning.
When Democrats muscled the changes through Thursday over the opposition of every GOP senator, it helped heighten Congress' already high level of partisan animosity. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., used a process that let Democrats unilaterally weaken the filibuster by simple majority vote, rather than the two-thirds margin usually used for major changes in chamber rules, which would have required GOP support.
"If the majority can change the rules, then there are no rules," said veteran Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who has resisted similar changes in the past. "It puts a chill on the entire U.S. Senate."
Such comments suggested a further erosion in the mutual trust the two parties would need to tackle sensitive, large-scale issues like still-massive budget deficits and a tax system overhaul. The tensions also won't help Congress' efforts early next year to avoid another government shutdown and prevent a federal default, twin disputes that the two parties struggled to resolve this fall.
And even though Thursday's change left intact the 60 Senate votes needed to filibuster, or delay, legislation, it raised an obvious question: Might a future Senate majority, hitting obstacles advancing a president's agenda, ram through changes weakening filibusters against bills too?
In control of both the White House and Congress someday, Senate Republicans might be tempted to force a filibuster change to cover legislation and use it, for example, to repeal Obama's health care law.
"I don't think this is a time to be talking about reprisals," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said after the vote. He said later, "The solution to this problem is at the ballot box. We look forward to having a great election in November 2014."
McConnell spoke after the Senate voted 52-48 to allow a simple majority vote to end filibusters, instead of the 60 votes required since 1975. The change affects nominees for top federal agency and judicial appointments, but not Supreme Court justices.
Republicans had warned repeatedly that should they win Senate control, they will happily use the diluted filibuster to win Senate approval for future nominees by GOP presidents that under past standards Democrats might have blocked.
"The silver lining is that there will come a day when the roles are reversed," said Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee. He warned that when his party wins a Senate majority they likely will apply the 51-vote filibuster threshold to a Republican president's Supreme Court nominees.
"The tyranny of the majority. That's what it's going to be" at some point in the future, predicted Steve Bell, a former top Senate Republican aide who is now a senior director at the Bipartisan Policy Center, which advocates partisan cooperation.
Democrats said GOP delays had gone too far, blocking nominees not for their qualifications or ideology but for political reasons like preventing too many Democrats from serving on a court.
Republicans argued that Democrats have acted similarly to block appointments by GOP presidents and warned they would use Senate rules to their advantage whenever they win control of the chamber.
"We understand all the considerations," Reid said of the risks. "But let's be realistic. What could they do more to slow down the country? What could they do more than what they've already done to stop the Senate from legislating?"
"We'd much prefer the risk of up-or-down votes and majority rule than the risk of continued total obstruction," said New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, the No. 3 Senate Democratic leader.
Immediately after the showdown roll call, senators voted to end GOP delays against attorney Patricia Millett, whom Obama wants to fill one of three vacancies at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The powerful court has jurisdiction over White House and federal agency actions.
Millett will be formally confirmed after the Senate returns from a two-week Thanksgiving recess.
December votes were also planned on District Judge Robert L. Wilkins and law professor Cornelia Pillard, two other Obama choices Republicans had blocked for the D.C. Circuit. That will give judges picked by Democratic presidents a 7-4 edge over those selected by Republicans for that court.
Labor and liberal groups hailed the filibuster curbs, expressing satisfaction that Democrats had finally stood up to the GOP.
"There was no choice," said Nan Aron, president of the liberal coalition Alliance for Justice. "The Republican minority had turned the existing rules into weapons of mass obstruction."
But Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, one of three Democrats who voted against diluting the filibuster, noted that past Democratic minorities have used the procedure to block GOP moves to limit abortion rights and repeal the estate tax.
He said he feared that a future Senate majority would weaken filibusters against legislation and "down the road, the hard-won protections and benefits for our people's health and welfare will be lost."
McCaskill and Wagner pointing fingers after gov't shutdown
U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D) is chiding House Republicans for failing to allow an up-or-down vote on a so-called "clean funding" bill.
McCaskill released a statement as the midnight deadline passed in Washington, saying the government shutdown will upset economic recovery. She criticized House Speaker John Boehner (R), calling his handing of the budget process "irresponsible political posturing."
The St. Louis County Democrat says the federal government shutdown will hurt Missourians by delaying veterans' benefits, causing furloughs for 39,000 federal employees in Missouri, delaying loans for small businesses and Social Security checks for seniors enrolling in the program for the first time.
During an interview with CNN's Wolfe Blitzer Monday evening, 2nd District Congresswoman Ann Wagoner (R) said the House GOP were the only ones working to avoid the shutdown.
The St. Louis County Republican criticized Senate leadership and President Obama for failing to negotiate over the weekend.
Wagoner issued a statement after the midnight deadline saying that she has waived her salary for the duration of the government shutdown "because congress didn't get the job done." Wagoner blamed the deadlock on "partisan bickering."
Senate approves immigration bill with bipartisan support
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Senate has passed a historic immigration bill. The vote on the bipartisan measure -- crafted by a group of lawmakers known as the Gang of Eight, was 68-32. It now goes to the House.
The legislation offers the hope of American citizenship to millions, while promising a military-style surge to secure the border.
The vote was far more than the majority needed to send the measure to the House. Prospects there are not nearly as good and many conservatives are opposed.
Vice President Joe Biden presided, and senators cast their votes from their desks, both steps reserved for momentous votes. The bill, a priority for President Barack Obama, would amount to the most sweeping changes in decades to the nation's immigration laws.
Illinois Senator pushes for internet sales tax
Illinois Senator Dick Durbin wants consumers to pay sales tax on their purchases, whether they shop in a local store, or online.
Consumers are already supposed to pay sales tax for online purchases. But very few do since there's no uniform collection method, and the onus to pay is placed on the consumer, not the retailer. In Illinois, for instance, those who file state tax returns are asked to list their online purchases and pay sales tax for them.
Durbin says the current rules are not fair to brick and mortar stores, who must collect sales tax from their customers. Durbin has sponsored a bill that would require Internet stores to do the same.
The Senate will soon begin debate on the Market Fairness Act. It could be voted on as early as this week.
Missouri Senators Claire McCaskill and Roy Blunt have both said they favor the move.

Wow...just wow. Seeing 6am after a night at Corsica is like seeing the first sunrise...
Elephant & Castle
© Michelle Grant / Time Out
Posted: Sat Oct 6 2012
Corsica Studios is an independent, not-for-profit arts complex whose ethos is to breed creativity and culture in areas of regeneration. Its Elephant and Castle home is its latest venture where the onus is as much on producing fine art, music, film and digital media as it is exhibiting it. As well as for art projects, the space is increasingly being used as one of London's most adventurous live music venues and clubs, featuring acts such as Silver Apples, Acoustic Ladyland and Lydia Lunch, and club nights that include the likes of old-schoolers Wang and disco kings Low Life.

Wow...just wow. Seeing 6am after a night at Corsica is like seeing the first sunrise...
Corsica Studios is arguably one of London town's great (and unsung) venues. The fact that it is slightly off the radar is probably a benefit, as without wanting to sound like a snob, unlike it's famous neighbour up the road (MoS) it attracts a more discerning, partisan crowd. I've been to a couple of D&B nights and a couple of techno nights, all very good. My only criticism would be the last techno night I went to a few weeks back, which was a multi collaboration of various promotions, which meant the venue made use of a neighbouring building to accommodate. This space was by far the most popular, which meant queueing for entry, and once inside was the hottest place I've ever been! Don't let this put you off though, I think that was a rarity. Come and sample the much heralded, but hard to find essence of London's underground dance music scene, you will not be disappointed. One last point. Whoever in the management of this venue is responsible for the sound system spec, which cannot have been cheap (full fat, full price) deserves a medal. It's the one thing that medium / small venues tend to shirk on. Not at Corsica; This is one of the best (if not the best) sound systems in London. Tony Andrews would be proud of what He's done to the elephant
when you leave at 6, you suddenly realise that you've been in another universe for 8 hours.

DiscRotate is a MenuItem that will control the speed of your optical drives. It is written in Cocoa for Mac OS X Leopard and later. It can help you make optical drive operation much quieter. Upon launching, a drive icon will appear in your menu bar at the top. It will list all installed optical drives and let you choose how much throttling applies to each of them. The green bar shows the current setting, and can be clicked to change the throttling speed. 100% means the minimum drive speed. When using heavily scratched CD/DVDs it is recommended to lower the setting to about 85%. Clicking the CD icon in the list will pause throttling for that particular optical drive.
Foods and Moods is an application that tracks what you eat and how you feel. It is aimed primarily towards people trying to track which foods may trigger their digestive problems. It does this by keeping two logs: a log of the foods you eat and a log of your moods. This provides you with a searchable history using keywords or "tags", so you may see for yourself if there is any relationship between the two. It doesn't attempt to do any medical or nutritional analysis.

Unlike other Java to Objective-C solutions, Java-Objective-C Bridge doesn't require any code generation of class stubs. It allows you to use any Objective-C libraries and frameworks from Java without having to write any native code. In addition to being able to use Objective-C objects, it allows you to pass Java objects to the objective-c runtime as delegates, so that you can write an entire Cocoa application in Java. The bridge provides 3 levels of abstraction. At the lowest level, it provides wrappers around the Objective-C runtime functions. At a slightly higher level of abstraction, it provides a procedural API to send messages to the Objective-C runtime. At the highest level of abstraction, it provides a Proxy class that serves as a wrapper around any Objective-C object that allows you to work with it in Java almost the same as if you were in Objective-C.
