Former New York Giants safety Kenny Phillips, who signed with the Philadelphia Eagles last week, reportedly said he has to adjust to sleeping with the enemy.
"I just knew I didn't like the Eagles," Phillips said at introductory press conference Friday, Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia reported. "You're playing against them for so long, that's what you were taught as a Giant. Just like the Eagles were taught, you don't like the Giants. That's just how it goes.
"It's weird. It's definitely weird. But at this point I can't say I hate the Giants. When I was with the Giants I kind of disliked the Eagles. But I can't just say right now I hate the Giants. I guess I'll have to learn to hate them."
The Giants made Phillips a first-round draft pick in 2009, and they won a Super Bowl in 2011. He was a playmaker when healthy, but recurring knee problems made him expendable. The Eagles were cautious themselves with a one-year deal.

Today is the mark of both a beginning and an ending. Today is the last day of my 365 project on The Daily Project (you can view all of my daily images here). It has been the most challenging photography project ever (and my third attempt I might add) but it has been so incredibly rewarding. While I will not continue with another 365 and posting on The Daily Project consistently I promise to crash the party over there every now and then. However, today I begin a wonderful new project with some of the most amazing female photographers I know. On the tenth day of every month we will each post photos of our son(s) with a letter and link to each other to form an internet 'circle'. I'm a woman of few words so my letters may be short but for me, this is the perfect project to move forward with!
This was an exciting month for you, you turned five and I finally finished your awesome new Avengers bedroom, but it's been rough too. You've had a multitude of doctor's appointments and while they weren't for anything major I know you don't really like going. You spent your birthday snuggled up in my bed sick. You had to do some skin testing for you environmental allergies (you were a champ though!) which we know have gotten worse and are giving you a hard time. I finally thought you were over all this crummy stuff and now you've got strep throat and can hardly eat your beloved tacos. Your Daddy and I can't always keep the germs away but keeping you safe and healthy is one of our biggest concerns. There have been many discussions between the two of us lately about the choices we have to make to ensure your (and your sister's) safety and while the decisions we make may be a 'no-brainer' it's not always easy and it sometimes hurts. While you may not always understand the choices we make, we hope that you will trust us because we love you and your sisters more than anything. You, sweet Finn, are our superhero!

Student Profile
- Class: Sophomore
- Major: Physics
- Gender: F
- High School: Middletown High School
- Transfer Student: N
Big Picture
It's a big school, but with a big school comes many, many opportunities. From clubs to fun activities to research, there is always something great you can find out about UMD. When I tell people I go to UMD, the responses range from, "Wow, what a great institution" to "Isn't that a party school?" and in my experience the former has always been more true. I spend a lot of my time on campus involved in my extra curricular activities and in my dorm doing work or just relaxing with friends. DC is really accessible by public transportation and is a lot of fun to explore in free time. College Park is an odd sort of college town, mainly because most of the city is so dominated by the campus itself, that the residents seem to feel kind of ignored, but to the best of my knowledge the current administration and students are working to make the city into more of a so-called "College town." There is a ton of school pride. Everyone has a UMD sweatshirt or gear of some kind, and we're some of the rowdiest fans around. Football games and Men's soccer are full of intense cheering from the stands for the home team. The most common student complaints, especially in my year is the lack of on-campus housing. It's troublesome that as a sophomore who wanted to live on campus for my junior year, I am being forced to move off campus do to our housing crisis. Plans are in the works to fix this, but currently it's not being handled well.
Academic Life
Some of my professors do surprisingly know my name, and I rarely speak in class. Even in large lecture halls, it's easy to make your class seem smaller if you sit toward the front. My favorite class was likely one of my introductory history classes with Professor McNeilly. I've never seen anyone make history that exciting before. Another class, MUET200 with Dr. Sandstrom, I took had me attend a popular music concert and write a review as a final paper. Neither of these were in my major, I actually had to take them as part of our CORE requirements, but they were really excellent and I'm glad I did. I think although many people complain about the liberal arts CORE curriculum requirements, it is actually a very valuable part of our institution and the well rounded education we receive because of it. Students are somewhat competitive depending on the discipline. I'm currently a Physics major and I love it a lot. I was a Mathematics major as of last week, and switched out of it because of a loss of interest in the subject, nothing against the department itself. One of my professors had our honors seminar over to his house for dinner that his wife cooked, and that was really interesting. The education at UMD is good for a combination of being ready for the job market and to be well-versed in the subject area you are attaining a degree in, which I believe is a perfect combination.
Student Body
I don't think any kind of student would feel out of place at UMD. There are many different clubs and organizations around causes of all kinds, and it's easy to find your own niche in this gigantic school. The hardest adjustment I think for new students is if they come into the university as a commuter. One of the greatest things about starting out at this school is living on campus and fully experiencing everything it has to offer. Student attire to classes is typically sweatshirts and jeans and t-shirts, nothing too fancy normally. Occasionally a lot of people will be dressed up for career days. The dining hall is a ridiculous example of how students interact on campus; it's quite large and typically groups of 1-8 people sit with people they know. I typically just take my food to go and don't eat in the dining hall itself. Most UMD students are from Maryland, being as the University is the flagship university of the state. Other states well represented are New Jersey and New York. I'm not sure about the financial backgrounds of students here. I know I personally come from a family where my sister and I were eligible for free and reduced meals in high school, and I've never felt threatened by others of higher economic status. A good bit of students are politically active, but there are efforts to create a higher amount of political awareness on campus. Voter registration drives happen often. From what I've heard, the campus is predominantly left, with a good bit of center, and a small passion sect of the right. The College Democrats and College Republicans support political involvement of all kinds, and work together to discuss issues in a civil, democratic manner. I know a lot of engineers and students in the business school, and many of them talk about how much money they'll earn one day. Personally, a lot of the people in other majors I know are really passionate about what they are studying and are really more interested in learning the most they can so they can be ready for the job market and so they are best equipped to do what they want to do in life.
The Best Things
people, atmosphere, academics, spirit, proximity to DC
The Worst Things
crime in the city area, housing crisis (lack of on-campus housing for upperclassmen)

in simulinke model there is a "to workspace " assume its var is "sout" that i want this var "sout" identified by my gui program
Simulink data from To Workspace block is always saved in Matlab base workspace. So your variable "sout" will appear in matlab base workspace after the simulation.
You can access this variable in you GUI program (or in any other) function using
data = evalin('base','sout');
Using this, values in "sout" from base workspace will be copied in variable "data".
done thanks for you all still simple problem this function make my gui slower and the function can not run when i run another thing in my gui

TORONTO, ON - Canadian prices for generic prescription drugs in 2006 were on average more than double American prices for identical drugs, according to a new study from independent research organization The Fraser Institute.
The study, Canada's Drug Price Paradox 2007, found that Canadian prices for generic prescription drugs were on average 115 per cent higher than U.S. prices. At the same time, Canadian prices for brand name prescription drugs were on average 51 per cent lower than American prices.
An earlier version of the study published in 2005 found that prices for generic drugs were 78 per cent higher in Canada. By contrast, prices for brand-name drugs were 43 per cent lower in Canada on average.
"These new findings show that prices for generic drugs in Canada have increased relative to the U.S., while prices for brand-name drugs have decreased," said Brett Skinner, The Fraser Institute's Director of Health, Pharmaceutical and Insurance Policy Research and co-author of the study.
"Canadians pay more for generic drugs because government policies shield generic drug companies and pharmacy retailers from normal market forces that would naturally reduce prices."
This study estimates that in 2006 alone, misguided government policies cost Canadians between $2.5 billion and $6.6 billion in unnecessary spending due to inflated prices for generic drugs and inefficient use of medicines. Over the four years from 2003 to 2006, the total amount of money wasted could range from as high as $20 billion to more than $26 billion.
"Since the U.S. market is not distorted by the kinds of government policies that exist in Canada, Americans benefit from dramatically lower prices for generic drugs," Skinner said.
Some key Canadian policies that distort generic drug pricing include:
• Drug programs direct public reimbursement of prescriptions to pharmacies instead of consumers. This insulates consumers from the cost thereby removing incentives for comparative shopping that would put downward pressure on prices.
• Provincial drug programs also reimburse generic drugs at a fixed percentage of the brand name original drug. Under fixed-percentage reimbursement, there is no incentive for retailers to undercut each other to win sales. This is because the buyer (government) offers every seller the same price, and the price is known in advance.
• Large established generic companies exploit the reimbursement system to offer rebates to retailers that are "bundled" across many products in exchange for exclusive distribution rights. This frequently results in a virtual monopoly within particular retail pharmacy chains for a particular generic label. Because pharmacies are reimbursed directly, discounts are not passed on to consumers.
• Governments also force generic substitution for brand-name drugs. Under these circumstances, generic products no longer have to compete on price to overcome consumer loyalties toward brand-name drugs. Consumers who need the drug will buy it at a higher price because they have no choice.
Skinner notes that while Canadian governments try to force patients to use generics in place of brand-name medicines, U.S. governments tend to let consumers make their own choices.
"Despite government efforts to force generic use in Canada, the evidence shows that Americans substitute generics for brand name drugs at much higher rates than Canadians," he said.
The study found that of the total prescriptions dispensed in Canada in 2006, 44 per cent were for generic drugs and 56 per cent for brand name drugs. In the U.S., 63 per cent of prescriptions were for generics with just 37 percent for brand name drugs.
"Price incentives in a free competitive market encourage efficient substitution of generics for brand name drugs when appropriate while preserving consumer choice," Skinner said.
"Canadians would be much better off if federal and provincial governments repealed policies that distort the market for prescription drugs. That would lead to lower prices and greater voluntary use of generics. And in the absence of massive cross-border demand from American consumers, Canadian prices for brand-name drugs should remain significantly below U.S. prices."

But now there is a scientifically proven method which can help you lose those annoying pounds of fat quickly and effectively. It is also good for your body in the long run preventing the yo-yo effect. That method we call the "protein diet".

Protein Diet
What is the Protein Diet?
The way that we add more fat to our bodies and how the protein diet makes it go away quickly is very easy to explain.
We get lots of carbohydrates and fat into our body each and every day from our meals, even if we eat healthy foods. If we don't burn these fats and carbohydrates (by physical exercise) our bodies will save the energy for later use and will store it as fat. In our western society it is difficult to avoid eating meals that are rich of carbohydrates and saturated fats. This makes it easy for all of us to get overweight, especially because we all have such busy lifes with barely time to burn off those calories.
If you start using our diet you will firstly lose fluids and a bit of muscle mass and your body will use all of your sugar reserves as a source of energy. This is just for the first 2 days of the diet and after that your body will start using fat as its sole and primary source of energy.
The protein diet gets rid of all of those excessive carbohydrates (including sugars) and saturated fats and adds more protein to your nutrition. These proteins are very important to the body, as they are the building blocks who take care of our muscles and organs in order for them to develope and recover after our daily efforts. Proteins will also not be stored as fat, but do supply energy.
Instead of the carbohydrate enriched meals that you are used to take, you will now eat 4-5 of our protein products per day such as shakes (puddings, cold and hot drinks, soups, omelettes, pancakes and more!) and bars. But we also have nice snacks for you, to make the diet more interesting! Please also eat 400 grams of vegetables each day and you are also allowed to eat a bit of meat or fish. This is phase 1 of the protein diet.
You body will need 2 to 3 days to get used to this diet and it needs those days before it starts burning fat. When your body does start burning fat, it will get into the phase that we call "ketosis". Now your fats will be burned while your muscles remain strong!
When you almost reached your target weight you will be going into phase 2 of the diet. This now gives you more space for meals with more carbohydrates. You are also allowed to eat fruit again. You will still be using about 3 of our protein products per day, but you now have some more diversity of foods to choose from.
Phase 3 is very similar to phase 2, but you can eat some more carbohydrates than in phase 2 and you can decrease our protein products per day some more.
When you reach phase 4, you can eat the way you want to eat and do not need to use our protein products every day. You can of course, it will help you stay in shape a lot easier!
Just make sure that you don't eat more calories each week than you will burn in a week. Of course now you can have pizza sometimes, but also make sure you do some physical exercise on a weekly basis. It will make up for all of those carbohydrates, satured fats and thus: calories! Don't make yourself have to go back to phase 1 again!
Protein diet: Finally.
The protein diet is a fast, safe and responsible way of losing weight. Please read a lot of information on our website about nutrition and how our bodies work, so that you now know what your process is all about. You will be able to continue losing weight the fast way!

ITS another dramatic week in THE APPRENTICE (BBC1, 9pm).
Not for the first time, the phone rings at 6.15am in the shared house, summoning the yawning ninnies to another of those pointless crack-of-dawn meetings across town.
Listen, love, you want candidate Gabrielle to bark as she lifts the receiver. If this is such a reasonable time to keep ringing people up, how come youre just a recorded bladdy message? Sadly, she doesnt say that.
Instead, she notes the details, rouses her fellow numpties, tells them the cars will be there in 20 minutes (do these people ever wash?) and braces herself for what Lord Sugar has in store.
The task turns out to be a simple one. Greeting them at legendary London boxing venue York Hall, he orders them to climb into the ring and punch each others lights out.
Only kidding. No, what he wants them to do is devise their own fitness programmes and licence these to health clubs. But be honest, my suggestions better.

Fighting Back Against Austin Car Burglaries
Updated: Thursday, January 10 2013, 04:56 PM CST
Car break-ins are on the rise in two distinct areas of Austin, according to a crime map tracked by Krimelabb.
Those areas are along Rundberg Lane and Riverside Drive.
Stealing from a car happens so often and it happens so quickly that it's often difficult for police to catch whoever did it, but there is one thing you can do to catch the crook, get your stuff back, and help police solve the case.
Security is really tight at Pago Wireless. The guard dog Max, who's usually very friendly, keeps an eye on the store. And what he doesn't catch the dozens of security cameras set up inside and out of the store do the trick.
"Everybody would want to know if somebody breaks into your car or your house, how did that thing happen? Everybody wants to know that," said Alex Dalaram with Pago Wireless.
So when a robbery happened to security conscious business owner Alex Dalaram, he wanted to know exactly who did it.
"I didn't have my car locked. That's the only day I didn't lock my car," he said of the mistake that gave burglars easy access to his car.
"It's really not a good feeling. It's like the worst feeling I had, not about what they took in the car honestly, it's about somebody being inside my personal possession that I had. And that's really not a good feeling."
The Rundberg Lane area, where Dalaram's car burglary happened has seen a spike in car breaks-ins and thefts in the past month. There have been more than 160 since the beginning of December. That's up 38 percent from just 117 break-ins in the month prior.
Police say it is usually just a few people doing most of the robberies and having picture and video is one of the best ways to solve the crime.
"I'm glad we had the camera in the perfect spot and bam! We got them," said Dalaram of catching the robbers red-handed on surveillance video. "I hope my part did the job and we can follow the professionals to capture whoever did this, because it happens to a lot of people around here."
The suspects in Dalaram's case haven't been arrested yet; the robbery just happened on Tuesday.
But police say there is a much, much better chance of catching them since he has surveillance photos.
If you recognize the men in the pictures, give Austin Police a call.

By Diana Saufley
In continuing my previous blog about creating safe environments that help prevent injuries and falls, I want to address the bathroom. This is an area that can be very hazardous for a variety of reasons, including flooring type, shoes worn, physical ability and associated activity and much more needs to be assessed. While most people think about the adjustment for a larger door frame, once into the bathroom it is essential that accommodations are made to prevent injuries usually resulting from falls.
Bathrooms are a common danger area just due to the nature of the slippery, wet and hard surfaces that exist there. Paired with reduced strength, mobility, and visual acuity, injuries are common place and require pre-planning.
Area rugs are often used to step onto from the shower or tub but can increase the risk of falls from tripping or a rug that slips on a slippery floor. Carpeting in a bathroom can cause an equal risk if lifting ones feet is difficult, pushing a walker or walking with a cane due to the friction that is generated with the inability to slide easily. In addition, poor lighting matched with equally poor vision can cause voids of the visual field creating a false sense of spatial awareness and lack of depth perception. Furthermore, bath tubs are very hard to get out of for those that have weakened strength, so modifications for safety are best done as a preventative measure. Here are just a few suggestions to consider in a bathroom remodeling project.

Cathie Jo Martin: Europe Has LESS Government Regulation than America
Cathie Jo Martin, professor of political science at Boston University, talks with HNN editor David Austin Walsh about her research into European regulatory states and her surprising conclusion: there's actually LESS regulation in Europe than there is in the United States.
So how have the Europeans managed to create some of the "most egalitarian societies in the world" without activist regulation? It goes back to the structural development of the relationship between business, agriculture, and labor at the beginning of the 20th century...

Tick tock, tunic talk! Tunics for playtime, tunics for party time, tunics for downtime, tunics for anytime! Whether you consider yourself more classic or carefree, dressy or casual, bold and bright or soft and subtle, CAbi's Spring '12 Collection has a tunic for you.
The ombre geo print purposely placed on sheer, drapey fabric is an artwork in itself, but pair that with the simple drawstring styling detail, and it's a downright masterpiece!
Ready to drop a dress size (or just look like it!)? Extra long pintuck details and a vertical lace print create a long and lean silhouette. And do you dare? Try it on over a silky black slip to create a bohemian spring dress.
Dazzle 'em with the illusion of lacey layers, which are actually printed on this silky soft silhouette.
A fitted bodice releases into an empire waist to create that oh-so-feminine hourglass shape as it gently drapes over your hips.
Painterly splashes of color exude a bright spring spirit! Tuck it in for a completely different look … from casual cool to poised and polished.
This is one haute hippie! Throw a flower in your hair and embrace your inner free spirit!
Go global with an Asian-inspired floral combined with an Aztec-inspired border print.

The five stars are not a joke. I am currently a freshman at Lindenwood University and I have learned so much within my first semester. Already I have learned with hands on experiences and in the classroom with terrific teachers. Those who are reading this should look further into the school because it is and excellent environment for both a student and student athletes because even the coaches work with their athletes and their education.
To find more tips for prospective students, what to do for fun and whether this school is great for a particular type of student read the 33 reviews for Lindenwood University
Curious about something that isn't answered here? Feel free to ask Lindenwood University a question
The most thorough institution I have attend . The professors fully understand the content of the material they teach in the classroom. Very competitive both academically and athletic wise.
» Read MoreI love Lindenwood. The professors here are great, and they really want you to succeed. The school is well respected in the local area, and there are many businesses out there that will hire you because you went to Lindenwood.
» Read MoreLindenwood is exceptional at leading students onto the right path and furthering their education. Lindenwood is a school where the student is able to work one on one with professors in order to get goals accomplished. Lindenwood works with students schedules who have outside jobs and understands when there are conflicts with time.
» Read MoreLindenwood is small, but beautiful campus perfect for students who do not want a large university. The classes are small and the teachers really focus on you. It is in a great location and if you love other cultures there is plenty to go around.
» Read MoreI would give Lindenwood an overall grade of a C. Lindenwood is a pretty campus, but is a ghost town on the weekends. The student body is made up of mostly athletes and international students.
» Read MoreSmall University, but growing, a lot of diversity and different cultures. A good school after all.
» Read MoreVery safe. Not a very warm environment. Many other colleges have a lot more student involvement and the students are warm and friendly to each other, but here a lot of the students stay inside of their cliques.
» Read MoreI would give this university a 8/10 review. For a college that is debt free, I wish they would hand out more money to local students instead of giving it all away to the international students. They can also stop charging these bogus fees for little things like and email address. Everyone redirects them to their yahoo or gmail account anyways.
» Read MoreMy graduate experience thus far has been convenient, flexible with my work and family schedules, and manageable. I was feeling overwhelmed at first with the prospect of entering graduate school at this time in my life, but Lindenwood does a great job with making you feel welcome and accommodating the non-traditional student. I would highly recommend this graduate school for anyone who wants to seek higher education, but also has a busy life besides school.
» Read MoreVery good environment for studying and interacting with your classmates scholastically. Library is helpful but leaves somethings to be desired. Faculty are always available to help, even the ones who teach the majority of classes in the department.

BBC has been involved with the development and ongoing work done by Dr. Kunjumon Chacko in India for more than 30 years. Under his visionary leadership and interest from BBC members, an orphanage and seminary have blossomed into avenue's of Christ's love to South Asia. Members also make regular visits as a part of our partnership.
South East Asia
BBC supports a team of former VT students and BBC members who share Christ's love in south east Asia through various nontraditional ways. Demonstration farms and clinics, clean water development, and childhood education assistance have all been used to share the message of Salvation.
In Macau, China, BBC supports the Ballew family in their work of "Serving the servers." They open their heart and home to those who cater to the tourists in one of China's top tourist destinations. Those who serve others often are not served themselves, and the Ballews share Christ's service with them.
The village of Ti Peligre sits on the high Haitian plateau. Across a river, the Baptist church in the village of Cange has decided that reaching out to the people of Ti Peligre is their calling from Christ. With help from BBC members and other partners, churches, schools, bridges, and friendship are being built as a witness of our Lord's love for each of us.
Find the latest Haiti Newsletter update here!
BBC's involvement with Nigeria has led to a self-sustaining system within the country itself. Although BBC members are still very interested in the work done there, the Nigerian believers have made it possible for Christ's love to be shared with their countrymen through providing them with basic medical care, filters for drinking water, and a chance to know eternal life.

Global Alert
Critical Need
Rivers are like arteries that flow into the heart, the ocean. The Global Alert tool links constituents of inland watersheds on a global basis with the ocean.
Healthy marine and coastal ecosystems are critical to all life on earth and provide necessary services, including food security, resources for economic growth, recreation and tourism, all of which can hinder or benefit the welfare of the coastline itself. Roughly 11 billion pounds of plastic enters the oceans each year. The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) has estimated that over 70% of marine debris starts out on land. From there it makes its way into the lakes, rivers and streams that form an extensive network that can carry trash across continents and straight into the heart of the world's ocean. Floating trash has no geographic or political boundaries, so solutions must involve scalable international collaboration, yet be local in scope and reach.
Global Alert - Floating Trash from Ocean Recovery Alliance on Vimeo.
Riverbanks are actually inland coastlines. Normal coastlines defined by the ocean total about 217,000 miles, however, when you consider that each river has two "riverbanks," each bank is also a part of the coastline. This inland coastline can reach far into the heart of a country and can be a conduit for floating trash to reach the ocean. By totaling the length of the riverbanks from the world's 20 longest rivers alone, we add an additional 86,000+ miles of "coastline" connecting to many of our communities, which is equal to the distance of going around the world more than three times!

Title | Abstract | Start | End |
CONSTRUCT: Construction Site Monitoring and Change Detection using UAVs
(details) |
The goal of the project is to develop methods for modeling and surveying large construction sites. The project will make use of unmanned aerial vehicles and existing stationary or pan-tilt zoom cameras at the construction site. The goal is to provide accurate 3D models on a regular basis of the whole site. This will generate a 4D data set (3D+time). This data can then be used for documentation, visualization (we will use a mobile augmented reality system to overlay e.g. the plan or a model of the building) as well as measurement (e.g., how much material has been transported). From a scientific point of view we will have to solve following tasks:

PEGASUS: Autonomous Inspection of Overhead Power Lines using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(details) |
The aim of the PEGASUS project is to develop a mobile vision system for overhead power line inspection to be mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The long term goal is to develop a fully autonomous aerial vehicle which is able to perform power line inspection in an automated manner. This goal requires innovative solutions to a number of problems such as visual navigation, visual tracking and obstacle detection, model-based inspection under harsh conditions etc. In addition, due to the use of a small scale UAV (e.g. a quad-rotor helicopter) we have restricted computational resources for algorithms that need to be executed on the UAV (especially for navigation and tracking). Within PEGASUS we want to make significant progress towards this long term goal. In particular, PEGASUS will provide a set of tools for the inspector. The project is organized in four phases: First, an inspection system for a single power tower is developed. Used in ground-based inspection, the UAV provides close-up views of all points of interest from an optimal viewpoint. Second, we want to implement an automatic visual inspection system which highlights possible faulty components. In a third step, the system is extended towards multiple towers (still in the sight of the operator). Finally, the system will be used as a handheld system in manned helicopters by power line inspectors, where it should dramatically reduce the time needed for inspection. From a research perspective we will develop novel solutions for model-based recognition and pose estimation, visual navigation including obstacle avoidance and automated model-based visual inspection. All of these problems are extremely challenging because of the uncontrolled conditions (illumination etc.) and the real-time requirements. If successful, the methods developed in PEGASUS will be usable beyond the task of power line inspection. |

SUMOskinny magazine is the ultimate guide to college life. Part local, part national, and all college.
The Hunger Games second installment, Catching Fire, has offered Philip Seymour Hoffman the spot to play head gamemaker, Plutarch Heavesbee.
For those who didn't read the trilogy in a matter of days, 1. you should, and 2. the head gamemaker is the guy who designs what the arena The Hunger Games take place in will look like and what challenges the tributes will face. He's kind of a big deal.
So who better to fit the role of the boss than the Oscar-winning Mr. Hoffman? Between Capote and Moneyball, to his comedic skills in Along Came Poly and The Big Lebowski, I am confident he would do Plutarch justice.

Am I wrong assuming that it is 75% of everything above 1 million euro?
Coming soon(tm).
<3 Entrox.
will eat my proverbial hat if it's not the tip of the iceberg indicating widespread knowledge/tacit acceptance of the manipulation at the BoE.
Because singapore is a totalitarian police state in the marshy armpit of east asia, with no seasons, where it rains at least every day (plus 3 months of monsoon) and you're eight hours from europe's timezone and who knows how many hours from the US. Meanwhile, London is France's sixth biggest city and is two hours from Paris on the train.
No, that's how taxes work.
That was my point. Most of the hurf and blurf about banks upping sticks and moving is just hurf and blurf, but on a more local level, when we're talking about something like working in London under a 45% income tax rate or working in Paris under a 75% tax rate, there's a serious chance of french executives hopping the channel. I know I'd move 2 hours down the road for a €300,000 pay rise.
That was my point. Most of the hurf and blurf about banks upping sticks and moving is just hurf and blurf. An investment bank working in the european or american markets can't exactly just shift its operations to east asia, but on a more local level, when we're talking about something like working in London under a 45% income tax rate or working in Paris under a 75% tax rate, there's a serious chance of french executives hopping the channel. I know I'd move 2 hours down the road for a €300,000 pay rise.
Are you assuming "the French 1m Euro+ households" could take their jobs along or would they compete with the natives for existing jobs (i.e. be dirty job-stealing Eurozone immigrants)? Would this exodus happen across all industrial sectors or would there be any particular focus?
Bob Diamond is being grilled by the parliamentary panel atm.
meight even under such limited geographical distances people are reluctant to move. I think its been proven pretty well by now that the entire dogma of every country has to pay all high exec's of any market field competitive wages on a global market to be bullshit. I even wrote a lolpaper about it in uni back in 2004 proving its complelety false(edit: to be fair it was about the neo liberal wave of privatizations in the utilities market from the mid to end '90's).
The cultural and language barriers are huge and for most not a barrier they can take. It is offcourse different for strictly english markets and the anglosaxon culture. For a german to come to lets say denmark or china is still pretty rare and not at all as the propaganda machine would let to believe.

I think what France is doing now is interesting purely because it will test this hypothesis.
How could you otherwise prove that people won't move unless you actually do what france is doing now? Are there other examples of such a big hit on high income earners that you can cite as examples?

Aye - one to watch. France is taking the 'left' path to recovery, the UK more to the right. I have no idea which will work better though I innately prefer austerity.
However, my gut feeling is that both countries will flounder along over the next 2-3 years with equal success/failure.
Real rich people in the US typically pay about 11-15%, and those are the ones that aren't cheating on their taxes.
I believe the proposed French taxes would actually be well over 75% with other taxes included as well, making it effectively more like 85-90%.
Oh really? Why shouldn't it?
how about this:
I couldn't find any English sources which explain the 75% tax in more detail except for this: http://www.french-property.com/news/...lande_reforms/As part of Frances austerity measures, a surcharge is being imposed on high incomes for income received in 2011 and 2012 as follows:
- income between 250,000 and 500,000 3%
- income over 500,000 4%
however, if I get it right, if you don't live alone you'll have to earn multiple millions to actually pay the 75%. But still 75% is imho crazily stupid high.i. Tax Rates - The creation of two new rates of tax:
- 45% for those with income higher than 150,000.
- 75% for those with income higher than 1 million.
The other existing bands and rates will remain in unchanged.

This is drastically different from the current practice of "pay on time".

Stoughton beat Hull 60-31 Friday night in Hingham to capture the Hingham Holiday Tournament title. Stoughton's Nicole Daniels was named to the tournament all-star team.
Take a look at photos of the game in the media gallery as well as a postgame video interview with captains Mackenzie McGrath, Nicole Daniels and Emma Zuk. *** Outscoring the opposition by a combined 52 points over the course of two games, the Stoughton High girls' basketball team cruised to the 2012 Hingham Holiday Tournament title. The Black Knights beat Whitman-Hanson 50-27 Thursday at Hingham High in the opening game of the tournament and beat Hull 60-31 Friday in the championship game.

Updated for Mists of Pandaria gems and enchants. Also, see our post covering Rogues in M of P.
Our notes for patch 5.2 rogues are here.
If you're not yet 90 then the info on this page and the other Rogue pages won't all work for you, so if you want to get your Rogue to the level cap as quickly as possible, then look into a leveling guide.
Note that this page covers general Rogue PvP stuff. For details on each spec, see the pages under Builds.
Contents: |
Builds: |
Currently the Subtlety spec is the "flavor of the month" spec for Rogue PvP. Subtlety just has more tools than the other for effective ganking.
This doesn't mean that you can't effectively PvP with Combat or Assassination, especially with the new Mists of Pandaria talents, just be aware that it will be a bit harder.
If you want a bigger challenge then go for it. Wouldn't you love to see someone say, "That Combat Rogue is kicking our butts!!"
Spec | Pros | Cons |
Assassination | Lots of damage Good burst Best poison skills |
Energy rec. requires bleeds |
Combat | Great sustained DPS Passive energy recovery Passive defenses |
Poor burst, Nothing out of stealth |
Subtlety | Brutal burst out of Stealth Shadowdance Find Weakness |
More complex "rotations" Energy rec based of Slice and Dice. (Energetic recovery.) |
Top — Stats — Gems — Enchants — Gear — Professions — Consumables – Tips
Rogue PvP Stats
- Hit: can't kill what you can't hit. 3% is required for same level targets, 6% for poisons.
- Expertise: Cuts down on opponents dodge. Doesn't apply if you're attacking from behind, which you will be doing, at least sometimes, so less valuable than hit. Go for 3%.
- PvP Power: this is a straight up damage add, like attack power, but PvP only. Since PvP Power gems are 320 points Vs Agility's 160, the PvP Power are better.
- Resilience: Rogues are a bit fragile in patch 5.2, so you want as much as you can get.
- Reforging:
- Sub: Crit > Mastery > Haste
- Cbt: Haste > Mastery > Crit
- Assas: Mastery > Haste > Crit
Sub. gets a 35% bonus to all Agility from the combination of the Leather bonus and Sinister Calling. This applies to any Ag. bonus from gear and any buffs (including food.) This is why Sub values Ag. more than PvP Power.
- PvP Power is the new M of P ability. Point for point Agility is still better, but in M of P PvP Power gems will at least be competitive, since they will have 320 PvP Power Vs. 160 Agility. PvP Power is also much better than any of the secondary stats.
- Visit Skill-Capped for lots of Rogue info. Not free, but $4/mo is pretty cheap.
Rogue gemming is easy. PvP Power gems all the way.
If a socket bonus is for a PvP stat (Power, res) or Ag then matching socket bonuses might be worthwhile. Try these:
- Red socket: Assassin's Imperial Amethyst
- Yellow socket: Lucent Vermilion Onyx or Vivid Wild Jade
- Blue socket: Stormy River's Heart or Assassin's Imperial Amethys
Gem Priorities | ||
Meta | Agile Primal Diamond: 216 Agil & 3% Increased Crit Effect |
Red | Delicate Primordial Ruby: 160 Agility |
Yellow | Mystic Sun's Radiance: 320 Resilience |
Blue | Stormy River's Heart: 320 PvP power | |
Orange | Lucent Vermilion Onyx: 80 Agility, 160 Resilience Deadly Vermilion Onyx: 80 Agility, 160 Crit |
Purple | Assassin's Imperial Amethyst: 80 Ag, 160 PvP Power |
Green | Vivid Wild Jade: 160 Res, 160 PvP Power | |
Prismatic | Delicate Primordial Ruby: 160 Agility | |
Cogwheel | Smooth Tinker's Gear: 600 Crit – requires an engie helm, such as this. Precise Tinker's Gear: 600 Expertise Fractured Tinker's Gear: 600 Mastery Quick Tinker's Gear: 600 Haste |
Top — Stats — Gems — Enchants — Gear — Professions — Consumables – Tips
Rogue Enchants
Note: Dancing Steel procs from separate weapons do stack with each other. Back to back procs from the same weapon do not stack.
Short on gold? Most of the enchants below have similar enchants available, of lesser value, for less cash. We've linked to a couple of these. Check with the rep vendor or the Auction House for others. If you want to buy the best enchants, fund all of your alts, donate to the guild, etc., but don't have the cash, then see what the Tycoon Addon can do about about improving your situation.
Helm enchants are gone in Mists of Pandaria, shoulder enchants all come from the Inscription profession.
The chest item is the only Resilience enchant, there are no M of P level PvP Power enchants.
Enchantments | |
Weapon | Enchant Weapon – Dancing Steel: Sometimes add 1,650 Ag when striking. Living Steel Weapon Chain- Reduces duration of disarm effects, 200 Expertise. |
Shoulders | Secret Tiger Claw Inscription 520 Ag, 100 Crit, requires Inscription 575 Greater Tiger Claw Inscription: 200 Agility, 100 Crit |
Cloak | Swordguard Embroidery: Sometimes pops 4k AP for 15 sec. Requires Tailoring. Enchant Cloak – Superior Critical Strike: 180 Crit rating |
Chest | Enchant Chest – Super Resilience: 200 Resilience |
Bracers | Fur Lining, Agility: 500 Agility, requires Leatherworking. Enchant Bracer – Greater Agility: 180 Agility Socket Bracer: Self only, Blacksmithing, pop in a nice Agility gem. |
Gloves | Enchant Gloves – Greater Haste: 170 Haste Socket Gloves – Self only, Blacksmithing, pop in a nice gem. |
Belt | Living Steel Belt Buckle: put a nice gem into this slot. |
Leggings | Shadowleather Leg Armor: 285 Agility & 165 Crit rating |
Boots | Enchant Boots – Blurred Speed: 140 Agility and Slight run speed increase. |
Rings | Enchant Ring – Greater Agility: 160 Agility, Requires Enchanting 550 |
Top — Stats — Gems — Enchants — Gear — Professions — Consumables – Tips
- Patch 5.2 will introduce more tiers of PvP gear.
Professions for Rogues
More or less in order of value, based on the burst. Changes in 5.2 will make leveling some of these easier.
- Engineering has the Gloves enchant (Synapse Springs,) which stacks with other enchants, and other useful items.
- Blacksmithing adds (self-only) gem sockets to bracer and gloves. Since these can be PvP Power or Resilience gems then the Blacksmithing profession might be the best, as far as profession perks are concerned.
- Alchemy gives you more benefit from your own potions than the other guys gets (Mixology.) Figure a 30% bonus and an extra hour duration from flasks and elixirs. This makes your #1 flask worth 1320 AG, plus any other bonuses.
- Herbalism adds a small heal and 20 seconds of 2,880 haste rating. Plus you get spirits every now and then as you pluck the M of P herbs.
- Leatherworking will allow you to make your own PvP gear and has a nice wrist enchant.
- Jewelcrafting allows socketing of two much nicer gems than otherwise available.
- Inscription has a killer shoulder enchant (520 Ag, 200Crit.)
- Enchanting can add +160 Agi. to each of your own rings
- Tailoring only has a cloak enchant, for 2k attack power on occasion.
- Skinning adds to Crit rating (480 at max skill.)
- Mining adds to Stam (480 at max skill.)
Top — Stats — Gems — Enchants — Gear — Professions — Consumables – Tips
Note that Pandarens get twice the food buff. All food buffs last one hour. Any Ag bonuses you have will add to these numbers.
- Sea Mist Rice Noodles: 300 Ag
- Valley Stir Fry: 275 Ag
- Flask of Spring Blossoms: 1,000 Ag for one hour
- Virmen's Bite: 4k Ag for 25 seconds. If you pop one immediately before a long fight you will be able to pop another during the fight.
- Master Healing Potion: Heals 120k HP
Tips for Sneaking and Striking
1 - Know how to re-stealth
If you can't re-stealth in combat, you are drastically reducing your survivability. The main techniques for acheiving this are:
- blind, move away, and wait to leave combat
- gouge/kidney shot your oppenent and run out
- get your oppenent crippled and sprint away
- vanish
- Note: When running away (to re-stealth) it helps if you can break "line of sight" with a convenient building or object.
2 – Don't blow all your energy
If you sit on a person and spam your main strike, you won't have enough energy for legitamite burst.
- for example, get 5 combo points, wait for full energy, then KS (Kidney Shot) and you will be able to, assuming you are Assassination, mutiliate twice then eviserate/envenom.
- It's more efficient burst than if you were to KS with 25 energy and maybe get 1 mutilate and some auto attacks in.
3 – Know the different playstyles and adapt
You don't try and beat a warrior the same way you beat a priest do you? There are unique ways of handling each class. Generally though, the two main styles a rogue can play are burst and control.
- Burst: When you do a lot of damage in a short period of time. This usually involves getting back into stealth again multiple times to get max damage possible.
- Control: When you use all CC (Crowd Control) methods available to control an opponent and take them out of the game, so to speak. This means you have to always leave enough energy to gouge and be ready to kick the right school magic. Also blinding into a sap can be a game breaker when speaking in terms of arena.
- Defensive: A rogue who needs to be"defensive" would simply try and avoid as much damage as possible. This would include moves like evasion, vanish, blind, dismantle, gouge, and trying to re-stealth.
Like a Warrior – if you have a pocket healer then you will lay waste. Without one you will have to be somewhat careful about picking and choosing.
Otherwise, obviously, the best pvp build depends on who's in your team, if you have one, and who the other guy is.

Title: | Capitalization of the Break-Up of LAUSD into 11 Sub-Districts |
Author: | Bhalla, Garima |
Abstract: | This study investigates the effects of the breakup of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) on housing prices. Under increasing pressure of falling test scores and high drop out rates, the School Board of the LAUSD unanimously voted to break up the district into 11 mini-districts in April 2000. Theoretically, this should increase school choice and school quality, which in turn would get capitalized into housing prices. I use a hedonic property value model to determine if these cause and effect relationships play out leading to an increase in housing prices in LAUSD compared to other school district regions. I control for physical characteristics of the house and neighborhood effects to determine the implicit price of this particular policy decision. Two of my models find that there is a statistically significant increase (1-1.2%) in house property values in LAUSD compared to houses lying outside the region resulting from the policy proposal. My third model, which allows for specific time trends both within and outside LAUSD and both before and after the cut-off date finds a negative effect. However, these inconclusive results could be due to the fact that I lack housing prices data immediately before the policy was first made public in October 1999. |

Swansea City continued their excellent start to the Premier League season with a handsome 3-0 win over West Ham United at the Liberty Stadium.
Michael Laudrup's side showcased the swagger exhibited in the crushing 5-0 win over Queens Park Rangers as strikes from Angel Rangel, Michu and Danny Graham sealed victory.
Carlton Cole had West Ham's best chance but saw his header cleared off the line, while debutant Matt Jarvis had his volley saved by Michel Vorm.
In Nathan Dyer and Wayne Routledge, Swansea had the game's standout performers as the wide pair revelled in the freedom Laudrup has allowed them and toyed with a fragile Hammers back four.
The win moved Swansea top of the Premier League, at least for a few hours, and the Dane will be equally delighted by a second clean sheet.
West Ham, with James Tomkins brought into midfield to track Michu, enjoyed a good start, with their hosts uncharacteristically wasteful in possession.
Kevin Nolan just failed to get his head on a George McCartney cross, but Swansea slowly began to settle and looked threatening as Dyer, Routledge and Michu linked confidently.
Mistakes cost Hammers
That growing threat produced the opening goal in the 20th minute. And for the second game in a row, after Rob Green's howler at Loftus Road last week, they were gifted the lead by a goalkeeping error.
Patient build-up work involving Michu and Dyer played Rangel in on the right of the area, and Jussi Jaaskelainen could only help his low cross into the net.
Moments later James Collins gifted Swansea a second goal. The Wales defender's back-pass sold Jaaskelainen short and Michu pounced to slot low into the left corner.
Jarvis had cut a frustrated figure for the Hammers, and those feelings only increased when he was denied a debut goal by Vorm.
The winger's superb close-range volley from a Tomkins header was brilliantly beaten away by the Dutchman, while at the other end Neil Taylor narrowly failed to finish a flowing Swansea move as Nolan's block diverted his shot over the bar.
The hosts had on occasion been troubled by West Ham's direct approach and they were fortunate to get to the break with their advantage intact.
From a series of set-pieces Rangel blocked a Nolan effort, Vorm kept out a Tomkins header and Leon Britton was in the right place to clear Cole's header off the line.
With the Hammers needing a greater goal threat, Sam Allardyce removed Tomkins from his containment role and put on Ricardo Vaz Te.
Graham adds gloss
But it was Swansea who remained the brighter attacking spark and Jaaskelainen had to get down low to parry away a Graham effort five minutes into the second period.
Graham should have made it three a few minutes later. Dyer jinked his way into space on halfway and fed the striker, but he put his effort wide of the far post.
However, the forward did bag his first goal of the season after 63 minutes, firing home after more delightful link play between Dyer and Routledge.
Further chances were passed up as the Swans toyed with the visitors at times, but it did little to diminish the euphoria of the home support as their side went to the summit of the Premier League.
