So I want to get tickets for the Team GB warm up game against Brazil but a little googling tells me they went on sale like two weeks ago. Hopefully they haven't sold out! The game is on 20th July, so there's still plenty of time.

You can't compare the two without also pointing out that while Britain was desperate for guns during WWII, and had to get them from the U.S., the Japanese plans to invade the U.S. were ditched after Admiral Yamamoto told the military high command not to, saying, "There would be a gun behind every blade of grass."
TO AN American visiting London, one of the more striking aspects of last week's riots was how few people died. Not including the police shooting death that touched off the original disturbance, five deaths have been attributed to the riots and looting. By contrast, 53 people died in the rioting that followed the acquittal of police officers in the beating of Rodney King in Los Angeles in 1992.
At least part, if not most, of the difference is down to the fact that Americans are armed to the teeth: the criminals, the cops and the shopkeepers all have guns, whereas Britain has one of the lowest rates of gun ownership in the world. The result is a low homicide rate: just 2 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2002, compared with 5.62 in America. Murders in Britain are much less likely to be committed with a gun. Its firearm murder rate, at 0.02 per 100,000, is a fraction of America's, at 3.25. Three of the riots' victims were run down by a car while guarding a petrol station and one died of injuries after being beaten. The fifth was a looter who is believed to have been shot by another looter.
Source: United Nations |
Britons are not more law-abiding than Americans. Their rates of car theft, robbery and burglary are all higher, some substantially. But strict gun-control laws and borders that are more impervious to smuggling than, say, America's border with Canada, mean that guns are less likely to be used in crimes. That may also cut down on firefights: British police generally do not carry guns, in part because they worry less about being shot at. (Mark Duggan, the man whose death set off the original riots, was shot by a member of a special police firearms unit. Mr Duggan is believed to have had a gun but not to have fired it.)
It's possible, as Ben Jacobs of the Boston Globe speculates, that Britain's low level of gun homicide and high level of property crime are connected: criminals may be more likely to steal, rob or loot if they don't fear being shot by a vigilante shopkeeper. Still, the data do seem to suggest that if you're going to be caught up in a riot, it is better to be in London than in Los Angeles.
Correction: An earlier version of this story stated that Mr Duggan was carrying a gun; in fact one was found nearby, not on his person. This has been corrected.

The Big Picture for the Week of November 7, 2010
A building block for the conclusion of the research was the extent to which US stocks comprise less of the world's total market cap; down to 40% from 50% ten years ago. As an active manager the nitty gritty of indexing is obviously not as important as any of the active decisions that might get made. One way to look at the US' market cap going from 50% to 40% during a ten year stretch where the US was down is that foreign outperformed during that time period. While I haven't looked under the hood of the research it is reasonable to conclude that foreign grew in the world's market cap at the expense of the US given that, again, the US was down for the period in question.
Part of the goal of active management of course would have been to look forward and see that foreign might be poised to outperform. From the point I started this phase of my career, early in the last decade, this seemed like a very obvious conclusion to draw; that is that specific foreign markets would outperform the US.
From an evolution standpoint, since inception in late 2001 the iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund (EFA) is up 49% versus a 9.4% gain for the S&P 500 so EFA was the better hold. However almost all of that advantage occurred in the earlier part of the decade before the financial crisis. In the last five years EFA is up 5.4% versus a gain of 0.47% for the S&P 500--the 5.4% is overstated because the euro is up 20% versus the greenback in that five years and EFA obviously translates into dollars. Before you say that all correlations went to 1.00 I would point out that in the last five years Brazil and Chile are each up about 140%, Israel is up 70%, Shanghai is up 200% (despite being down 50% from its peak), Malaysia up 60% and so on.
James quotes the research as follows; "our research suggests that global equity mandates, together with dedicated emerging market mandates and small cap mandates, may be emerging as the 'new classic' structure for implementing equity allocation." Conceptually this is fine but I am not a fan of being overly rigid with these things, obviously as an individual you don't have to be overly rigid and if you are an advisor then you may or may not have flexibility with this sort of thing. We do have flexibility for the reason that if it makes more sense to simply avoid some segment of the capital market than to pick the thing that can go up while everything else is going down then that is what we'll do.
James opines that "a possible equity mix might be constructed with a 50% weight in a global equity fund with the remaining 50% allocated in regional, industry and/or style funds." Above a certain account size I am not a fan broad based like ACWI and VT which are specifically mentioned elsewhere in the article but from the standpoint of staying on your own mat this can be a suitable way to go.
From 30,000 feet I obviously agree with the article but I think the conclusion was obvious years ago. I do not really believe that most of the investment management industry is only now getting around to discovering foreign investing and doing so only with the broadest funds. Whether that is true or not hopefully my years of advocating narrower exposure has resonated with you and you are doing the research, making the decisions and taking advantage of the resources available.
On a related note I am seeing more and more articles on investing in Argentina. The country has a lousy history, was much more globally relevant many years ago, does have some positive attributes looking forward and a little recent political uncertainty mixed in. Per BNY Mellon ADR site I count 24 ADRs available between the NYSE and five letter stocks. The benchmark Merval Index has historically been more volatile than the US market. As a microcosm, during the last five years it fell a little more than the US during the meltdown and is up much much more than the US since the low.
Now, as markets are going up all sorts of favorable attention is being paid and it makes you feel like you've missed something but on the next meaningful downturn I would assume it will go down much more and any commentary will make you feel like you are crazy for ever having even thought about buying in. You can sort out whether Argentina specifically makes sense for you but the volatility characteristics of the country are not unique and do have a place in a diversified portfolio. While not a new destination, there was a closed end fund many years ago that appears to be gone now, it might be new to you and there will be other new destinations too.
As much as I like Chile, in theory if everyone buys in it won't go up anymore. While that is a ridiculous comment it makes the point mentioned above which is the themes and destinations do evolve and sometimes the evolution makes them a sell and if a country does need to be sold then it needs to be replaced.

It certainly seems like the so called smart money has discovered the virtue of foreign and emerging market investing. I suspect for the average guy on the street, though, Chile is still supper on Saturday night.

Emerging markets are fascinating to me. You look at what the U.S. did in the 1800s and then you wonder who's doing to do that next.
Every year I do a little in depth look at the emerging markets ETFs I use. I think this year I'm finally going to put an extra couple of percentage points into a country ETF that doesn't get (IMO) enough weight in my emerging markets ETF. I usually use VWO. Now, what this means of course is that I'll buy at the top and you guys should sell what I buy! - 8:25 AM

Hitman is a stealth video game series developed by the Danish company IO Interactive. The series is available on Microsoft Windows as well as several video game consoles, including the Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game series has since expanded into a novel, Hitman: Enemy Within written by William C. Dietz, followed by Hitman: Damnation which is an official prequel to the installment, Absolution, and a Hitman film adaptation in 2007, which is loosely based on the storyline of the games. The film was negatively received, but became a financial success.
The series revolves around Agent 47 (usually simply referred to as "47" or "Mr. 47"), a cloned assassin-for-hire, whose flawless record places him in high demand among the wealthy and elite. The first original scriptwriter was Morten Iversen, who wrote the scripts for Hitman: Codename 47 and Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. He also contributed to Hitman: Contracts and Hitman: Blood Money. The games feature a mix of orchestral and electronica musical scores, composed by Jesper Kyd (later noted for his work on the Assassin's Creed series). A fifth installment of the series, Hitman: Absolution, was released on November 20, 2012. The sixth Hitman Game is currently in pre-production at IO Interactive, as is a mobile and tablet turn-based strategy spin-off, Hitman Go.
Story overview[edit]
The first game starts when 47 escapes from a sanitarium where he has seemingly been imprisoned, being guided by a mysterious overseer. After a year, he is shown to be working for the covert International Contract Agency, or ICA, under his handler Diana Burnwood. He is sent on a mission to eliminate four crime bosses across the world, before being hired to kill a fifth target, Doctor Kovacs, at the sanitarium where 47 was imprisoned. As events transpire, 47 finds out that all his targets were part of an advanced cloning experiment, with him as the result; the perfect, cold-blooded assassin. Professor Ort-Meyer, himself the scientific head of the experiments, is revealed to be the client who ordered the hits and, to protect himself, sends a squad of docile, highly trained '48' clones against 47. With help from a fellow agent, 47 defeats the clones and kills Ort-Meyer. In the aftermath of this revelation, 47 tries to leave his assassin past behind (in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin), seeking peace in a Sicilian monastery, but is forced to become an assassin once more when his mentor and friend, Father Vittorio, is kidnapped. Getting back in contact with the ICA, he arranges with Diana that he will work for them if they help trace Father Vittorio. Eventually, it is revealed that Father Vittorio's kidnapping was orchestrated by Sergei Zavorotko, the brother of one of the men whose DNA helped create 47, to bring 47 out of retirement and kill everyone who was in on a deal by Zavorotko to purchase a nuclear warhead. 47 successfully infiltrates Father Vittorio's monastery, killing Zavorotko and all his men. Though Father Vittorio begs 47 to lead a good life, the assassin decides to return to the ICA full-time.
A few years later, by the time of Hitman: Blood Money, 47's reputation has spread far and wide, with a large list of clients requesting his services. During the course of the game, it becomes clear that the ICA is under attack from a rival agency called the 'Franchise', who are also planting incriminating evidence against 47 through one of their agents, Alexander Leland Cayne. Eventually, the agency is depleted to the point that Diana and 47 are the only ones left. 47 himself is nearly killed in Paris, prompting flashbacks over previous missions. Eventually, 47 kills one of the two top 'Franchise' assassins and is given a final contract by Diana, who has dissolved the ICA, to take down the 'Franchise'. Soon, an old acquaintance of 47, former CIA agent 'Smith', reveals that the 'Franchise', currently planning to assassinate the US president, is merely a puppet organization for Alpha Xerox, a shadowy political organization who wish to monopolize the cloning techniques that gave birth to 47: they wish to kill the President before he can put a halt to their plans. 47 prevents the assassination, but must go into hiding from the 'Franchise' and the police. At his hideout, he is seemingly betrayed and poisoned by Diana, with the 'Franchise' preparing to cremate the assassin so his DNA cannot be used for further cloning experiments. 47's 'death' is later revealed to be a tactic which would bring 47 within killing range of everyone at the funeral, including 'Franchise' agent Cayne. 47, his identity now a secret, then goes into hiding and Diana uses the remains of the 'Franchise' to revive the ICA.
Years later, in Hitman: Absolution, Diana seemingly betrays the ICA, exposing it to the public. When the Agency learns of her betrayal, they send operatives to eliminate her. During a mission, Diana is forced to suddenly abandon 47 when she sees that the Agency operatives are coming for her. Due to her sudden disconnection from him, 47 is nearly killed during the mission and decides to cut contact with the ICA. The Agency is eventually able to locate 47 once again. Benjamin Travis, who is Diana's superior within the Agency, contracts him to kill Diana and bring a girl she has in her care, Victoria, to the Agency. 47 infiltrates Diana's base and wounds her, but promises to keep Victoria safe from the ICA. It is revealed that Victoria is a clone, like 47, created in secret by Travis, whom the ICA would train to be an assassin. Diana did what she did to protect the girl from becoming like 47. The assassin soon comes into conflict with Blake Dexter, the head of Dexter Industries and a top figure in the criminal underworld, who wishes to sell Victoria to the highest bidder. 47 finds himself fighting to keep Victoria safe as she is hunted by Dexter's forces and the ICA. 47 eventually kills Dexter and his conspirators along with Travis and his lieutenants, saving Victoria. At the end, it is revealed that 47 spared Diana and it is implied that she and 47 are once more working for the ICA.
The core objective in each level is to kill assigned targets (usually multiple and sometimes additional targets as an optional bonus). In most cases, Hitman allows the player different options to accomplish this task. Players can perform precise assassinations or slaughter indiscriminately in order to achieve the mission goals; however, the games reward a subtle approach by awarding special weapons or cash bonuses if players earn a favourable rank (usually achievable by eliminating only the assigned target, and without raising the alarm doing so). 47 can also wear a variety of disguises (such as repairmen, police officers and waiters) to fool enemies and gain access to restricted areas. The focus of Hitman is not hiding in the shadows from the enemy, but rather blending in amongst them. It is up to the player to initiate violence, since guards do not usually open fire unless provoked.
In every game, the player character, 'Agent 47', has limited maneuverability; he cannot jump, scale walls, or mantle up ledges (there are a few pre-scripted places where he can jump from one balcony to another, but these are very rare). This generally limits the player to a single plane of movement, although he is often presented the opportunity to move to higher or lower areas through the use of ladders, stairs, elevators, or hills.
47 is given the ability to hop over minor obstructions in Blood Money, and can also climb certain edifices (such as fencing, vines, loose bricks, crates etc.). There is also the option of climbing onto the top of elevators through the hatch, allowing the player to strangle a victim from above.
A major feature in the game is the 'tension' meter, detailing how much attention the player is receiving from the public or guards and is dependent on many things. For example, walking around in a guard's uniform with the correct corresponding gun won't gather much notice, whereas running around in a waiter's uniform in a restricted area while carrying a visible weapon instead of an appetizer tray will result in an unwanted confrontation with the guards.
In most cases, 47 is required to hide any dead bodies, to prevent alarms. As introduced in Hitman Blood Money, 47 can hide a body in a place such as a garbage dump/rubbish bin. Many targets can be assassinated without firing a single shot; this style of gameplay became more prevalent in Blood Money, where the focus was to make some of 47's hits look like accidents. Accidents can be caused remotely with RU-AP mines acting on some (usually heavy and suspended) object, directly by pushing someone over a railing, and by other, more elaborate methods such as:
- Replacing a World War I replica gun to be used in the opera 'Tosca' with a real World War I era pistol.
- Crushing a man's neck using weights during his morning workout.
- Rigging a grill to set a victim on fire.
The second game of the series, Silent Assassin, enforced the concept of kills without firing more than a single shot. As per the number of shots fired and stealth used, ratings were given after every mission. The best of these ratings was Silent Assassin, indicating no more than one shot per target (and a guard) with no alerts raised.
Methods of assassination[edit]
The Hitman series permits the player to kill targets (or non-targets) in a variety of ways, using firearms, melee weapons, or even conventional objects that 47 picks up (such as shovels, fireplace pokers, pool cues, etc.). In Hitman: 'Contracts', melee weapons such as knives can be used to kill in more than one method, including forward stabs, horizontal throat slitting, frontal slashes, repeated stabs under the ribcage, or thrusting the blade into the carotid artery.
47 also has a garrote, or 'fiber wire'. The fiber wire is specially made for strangulation, with reinforced handles. He carries it with him on every mission, even those in which he is stripped of all other weaponry. It is also one of the few weapons which can bypass metal detectors.
To achieve the ideal 'Silent Assassin' rank, it is required that 47 only kill his assigned targets, and no one else. The sedative syringes, or chloroform in 'Hitman 2: Silent Assassin' (which only has a temporary, dose-dependent effect, unlike syringes), exist for this purpose, so that 47 may incapacitate an innocent person to take items or clothing from their body without harming them, so it does not count against the player in the final ranking. In Blood Money, the ability to add sedatives to food and drink was added, to avoid direct confrontation. Blood Money also introduced the option to hold any NPC hostage using smaller arms and use them as a human shield, and allows the player to knock the hostage unconscious with the gun, saving the player sedatives for food items or any impeding characters that are seated in chairs. In some missions, if a murder can be made to look like accidental death (using the accident system introduced in Blood Money), some kills will not be counted as hits, but as accidents. Any civilians or armed personnel who witness a kill will count as witnesses, and will harm the player's rank if they remain alive or alert nearby guards. If however, someone (target or civilian) dies because of an accident, it will not matter if there are witnesses. 47 has the option of killing witnesses before they reach a guard, but the unnecessary murder will still count against his rank, unless he kills them with an accident. Witnesses also include anybody who sees 47 changing disguises or holding a weapon. In the games prior to Blood Money, the only consequence of having witnesses to a crime is that they will seek out police/guards and trigger an alert.
There are mission-specific options for killing a target in certain levels. Notable examples include locking a target in a sauna to stimulate a heart condition and cause cardiac arrest, poisoning a target's meal (this becomes more widespread in Blood Money), disguising 47 as a doctor and sabotaging a surgical operation, replacing a prop Mauser C96 handgun with a real one at an opera rehearsal, causing an actor to unwittingly kill the target, and causing stage pyrotechnics to explode and set the target on fire.
In most cases, it is required that 47 also hide the body of killed or unconscious victims, in order to avoid any unwanted alarm or if this is the desired effect 47 can leave the victims body in a wide open space for all to see.
Hitman insignia[edit]
The Hitman insignia appears in Hitman: Codename 47 on the gates of Prof. Dr. Otto Wolfgang Ort-Meyer's asylum, throughout his laboratory and is formed by Prof. Dr. Otto Wolfgang Ort-Meyer's pool of blood when 47 kills him at the end of the game. It also appears in 'Hitman: Contracts' on the floor of the cloning lab, this time as though it is the actual floor design, as well as on Ort-Meyer's belt buckle. In Blood Money, it appears on books throughout the levels as an easter egg.
The symbol is engraved on the handles of his custom AMT Hardballer (called 'Silverballer' in Hitman: Contracts and Hitman: Blood Money), pistols. After Hitman: Contracts, the symbol is on the slides as well. It is also found on 47's equipment such as his laptop, briefcase and cell phone. In the film, 47 wears a pair of silver cufflinks with his insignia enameled in red.
The "Hitman" insignia is a stylized fleur de lis. The fleur de lis is itself a stylized lily flower. This has been confirmed by IO Interactive on their official Twitter page.
International Contracts Agency[edit]
The International Contracts Agency (ICA), also known simply as "The Agency", is Agent 47's employer. It is a worldwide, well-funded clandestine operation organization, with underlying connections to the foreign legion, providing assassination and mercenary services; Credited assassinations have taken place in the Americas, the Pacific Rim, and Eurasia. The Agency enjoys the cooperation of affiliates such as the FBI, CIA, MI6, NSA and even elements within the U.N. Although politically neutral and ethically amoral, the Agency avoids accepting hits ordered by enemies of its allies in government bureaus. In addition, most of 47's assigned assassination targets are criminals.
The Agency's motto, the Latin, "Merces Letifer" means literally, "lethal trade." It is also interesting to note that the Agency's logo itself is based on the original MI5 emblem replacing, along with the images themselves, the characters in the three corners, originally M, I, and 5, from left to right with IOI, for IO Interactive.
The Agency uses "controllers" like Diana Burnwood as go-betweens with its agents. They provide freelance operatives like 47 with electronic correspondence and mission briefings. Contractors also sell intelligence briefings on the subjects of missions to their agents for the fee of USD 1,500 per file. In Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, 47's registration number in the Agency is BRO3886. To date, the Agency encountered and overcame a similar organization, known as The Franchise. The Agency managed to survive, though only 47 and Diana were left.
Hitman film, which is set in another "universe", the Agency is replaced by the Organization. Like the Agency, the Organization benefits from ties to various government agencies, is neutral in global affairs and morality, and performs missions all over the world. Unlike the game wherein the hitmen are contracted from a range of backgrounds, the Organization instead recruits orphans and trains them from an early age. However, when 47 ties FSB agent Yuri Marklov to a bathtub, and a clock ticks in a laptop, the name of ICA is clearly visible in the laptop, instead of Organization.
Agent 47 is an upcoming American action spy film directed by Aleksander Bach and based on the Hitman video game series. It stars Rupert Friend as Agent 47, a role originally played by Timothy Olyphant in the previous Hitman film. Other members of the cast include Zachary Quinto, Hannah Ware and Emilio Rivera.

As of 2012, five games have been released and all of them were developed by IO Interactive. It is an action-adventure stealth-based video game series, although it is possible to switch between third-person and first-person perspective except in the first, which offers an optional camera angle comparable to one used in fixed-camera adventure games.
Hitman: Codename 47 (2000)[edit]
The first installation of the Hitman series and it revolves around the test subject known as 47 escaping the asylum which he had been experimented on all his life and being employed by Agency. 47 meets his handler, Diana Burnwood. She assigns him to kill four criminal masterminds and then a doctor who is revealed to be the one who treated 47 at the asylum. 47 learns that he is a clone who has been trained since birth to become an assassin. The four criminal masterminds that 47 killed were part of the cloning experiment and that their deaths were ordered by Professor Wolfgang Ort-Meyer, the one behind the entire cloning process. Ort-Meyer planned 47's escape, so he could have 47 kill the other four associates and use 47 for his own purposes. 47, with the help of a CIA agent named Smith, returns to the asylum and plans to kill his creator. Ort-Meyer, having prepared for 47's return, sends his group of "Mr. 48s" to kill 47. The 48s fail their duties and 47 confronts Ort-Meyer. 47 shoots Ort-Meyer, then snaps his neck, killing him.

The story follows the life of professional hitman Agent 47, as narrated in cut scenes by a former director of the FBI to a journalist who is interviewing him. The wheelchair-bound ex-director recounts how his agency tracked 47 over a two-year period. The game also marks 47's arrival to the United States. The game was a commercial success, selling more than 2.1 million units. It is the last game in the series to feature composer Jesper Kyd.
Hitman: Absolution (2012)[edit]
Hitman: Absolution was announced by Square Enix and it was released on November 20, 2012 worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.[31][32][33] The fifth installation in the series offers a few different angles from which to observe your surroundings. As of March 2013, the games have sold a combined 8 million units.[34]
Hitman 6[edit]
Hitman 6 is an upcoming stealth action-adventure video game for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It is currently under development by IO Interactive, and will be the sixth entry in the Hitman game series. A possible trademark for the name, Hitman: Profession, was filed in Europe in December 2011.[35]
Originally, the game was to be developed by Square Enix Montreal however recently, their parent company Square Enix ran into financial difficulties, and they had large numbers of employees cut to save money. In addition to this, it was confirmed that IO Interactive would be working solely on Hitman 6 and would no longer be developing any more additions to the Kane & Lynch, Mini Ninjas or Freedom Fighters series. Square Enix Montreal, which was originally working on the next Hitman title, will now reportedly focus on developing smartphone and tablet versions of Hitman and other games.[36][37][38][39]
On the 16th January 2014 an open letter was filed by IO Interactive for the fans, sharing some news details on the next game.[35][40]
Hitman Trilogy[edit]
Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 2[edit]
A Hitman compilation was released for the Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 2 containing the three games of the series; Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Hitman: Contracts, and Hitman: Blood Money. The compilation is called Hitman Trilogy[41] (Hitman: The Triple Hit Pack or Hitman Triple Pack in Europe) and was released on June 22, 2007 in Europe,[41][42] and on June 30, 2007 in North America.
Hitman: Codename 47 is the first game of the series and follows a slightly different game mechanic from its sequels. It has been omitted most likely due to the fact that it was only released for Microsoft Windows, as the trilogy pack was released for the PlayStation 2 as well.[citation needed] Furthermore, Hitman: Contracts includes most levels remade from Hitman: Codename 47. Two years later, another Hitman compilation was released exclusively for Microsoft Windows called Hitman: Ultimate Contract, which now contains all four games of the series; Hitman: Codename 47, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Hitman: Contracts, and Hitman: Blood Money. It was released on July 17, 2009, but it was only available in the European region.[43]
PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360[edit]
Another Hitman compilation was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 containing the same three games of the series; Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Hitman: Contracts, and Hitman: Blood Money. This compilation is called Hitman HD Trilogy and was released on January 29, 2013 in North America,[44] January 31, 2013 in Australia and February 1, 2013 in Europe. The purpose for this new release of the three latest Hitman games is to introduce new players to the series as well as giving old players one Hitman package and for the first time Hitman: Blood Money on PlayStation 3.[45]
Cancelled games[edit]
Hitman: Tactics[edit]
A PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS Hitman title was in development during 2006, called Hitman: Tactics. The game was never officially announced and it was cancelled for unknown reasons.[46]
Major characters[edit]
- Agent 47: A genetically-engineered assassin created from the recombinant DNA of five of the world's most dangerous criminals. The fact that the DNA came from multiple ethnicities allows 47 to blend in to a certain degree in most places in the world, or at least not look immediately suspicious and out-of-place. His name comes from the last two digits of a bar code on the back of his head – 640509-040147. He is a tall, bald, blue-eyed, no-nonsense individual and usually wears a suit with black leather gloves and a red tie and is known to disguise himself. Engineered from conception to be the perfect killer, 47's strength, speed, and intellect are above the human norm. According to Jacob Andersen, lead designer of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Agent 47 went from being "a mean old hairy guy" to having "hi-tech glasses" before getting to his current design.[47] More inspiration came from "comic books, Hong Kong movies," and other similar media.[48] According to Game Director Rasmus Højengaard (Hoejengaard), the idea of a clone whose future is decided by the people that created him, intrigued the Hitman team.[48] Hojengaard felt the idea of creating the "ultimate assassin" by cloning "evolved with the character before the first Hitman game was done".[48] Veteran actor David Bateson has voiced 47 in every Hitman game to date.
- Diana Burnwood: 47's handler at the Agency. Diana briefs 47 on his assignments, oversees his progress, and serves as his guide over the radio. For the vast majority of the series, 47 never sees Diana, recognizing her only by voice, however, they do come face-to-face at the conclusion of Hitman: Blood Money and Hitman: Contracts. Diana has an upper-class English accent and a business-like demeanor. Although Diana usually handles 47's affairs from afar, she turns out to be a major character in Hitman: Blood Money; serving as a double agent, faking 47's death, saving the Agency from liquidation, and dodging death herself a few times.[49] In the end, her efforts pay off when the Agency is brought back online, although it is left unmentioned if Diana has been promoted to a higher position.[50] Diana is voiced by Vivienne McKee. In Hitman: Absolution she is shot by 47 in her home after betraying the agency. Although she was presumed dead, it is later revealed that she survived her injury, and was able to fake her own death. Her current activities are unknown, but post-game events suggest that she is once again working as 47's handler. She also presumably continues to care for Victoria, a young girl that she and 47 rescued both from the ICA and other captors. In the Hitman film, Diana's only form of contact with 47 is through a synthesized voice via laptop. However, she does directly call 47 by phone in order to warn him that the Organization has targeted him.
- Agent Smith: A fairly inept American CIA agent with ties to the Agency. He has a tendency to be captured and tortured by the people he has been assigned to spy on. As a result, the Agency has sent 47 to rescue him on a number of occasions. His torture experiences have caused him to take up drinking on the job, making him even more ineffective. Like 47, Agent Smith dons a variety of disguises, but most often he's seen beaten and stripped down to his American Flag boxer shorts. He seems to regard 47 as a friend, no doubt because 47 has rescued him so many times. The feeling is not mutual. 47 initially treats his relationship with Agent Smith as detached and professional, but as he is forced to rescue Smith again and again he increasingly sees Smith as a hindrance. In Hitman Blood Money after the mission 'dance with the devil', 47 puts a gun to Smith's head and threatens to kill him but in the end didn't as Smith provides him a job which will then lead to the white house assassination. Smith's appearance changes somewhat in Hitman: Blood Money, having lost most of his hair through long term alcoholism and depression. In the Hitman film, Smith is instead portrayed as a very competent and dutiful CIA agent. In return for assassinating a high priority CIA target (Udre Belicoff, the brother of 47's original target), Smith helps 47 elude arrest by Interpol.
- Mei-Ling: A young woman from the Chinese mainland, abducted and recruited into the brothel of Hong Kong crime lord Lee Hong. 47 rescues her in exchange for information about her employer in preparation for assassinating him.[51] After escaping from Lee Hong, Mei-Ling is later revealed to be prostituting herself to Hayamoto, another Asian crime lord. 47 ends up rescuing her again (much to his consternation).[52] Mei-Ling is apparently the first woman who has ever kissed 47; his reaction is different in the original game from the remake. In the original Hitman: Codename 47, 47 reacts with significant revulsion. In the remake Hitman: Contracts, his reaction is one of detached bemusement. She was known as Lei Ling in the original game.
- Dr. Otto Wolfgang Ort-Meyer: 47's creator and the ultimate villain of Hitman: Codename 47. A brilliant but dangerous individual. Ostracized by the scientific community for his radical theories on genetic manipulation, Ort-Meyer ran a sophisticated lab hidden beneath a Romanian asylum. There he labored on DNA splicing in an effort to create a flawless human being. He took a great part in raising and indoctrinating 47 at the asylum, where 47 was kept a prisoner until he matured. Ort-Meyer eventually engineered 47's "escape" from the asylum in order to test his performance in the real world. The consummate megalomaniac, Ort-Meyer contracted with the Agency to have 47 kill the other 4 men behind the Hitman Project (47's "fathers"), so that Ort-Meyer could enjoy the fruits of his labor by himself. Ort-Meyer then attempted to lure 47 to his death, having perfected "Mr. 48", an improved, mindlessly loyal series of clones. Ort-Meyer underestimated how far 47 had advanced, and in the final showdown, 47 slaughtered the 48s and then killed Ort-Meyer himself by snapping his neck.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Senior wide receiver Josh Rein will have options upon graduating from Logan High School next spring.
Wildcat Coach Gary Mullins has options right now with Rein on the field.
Thanks to Rein's playmaking ability, Mullins has moved his standout player all over the field in an attempt to get the ball in his hands as much as possible.
Rein has been instrumental in Logan's drive toward the playoffs, and with the Wildcats sitting at 5-3 with two games left, every game is important.
That includes 7:30 p.m. Friday, when Logan hosts Class AAA Nitro (1-7).
"Josh is one of the big factors if we are to make the playoffs," Mullins said. "They have to step up and we need to win some of these two games. A victory would get us our sixth win.
"It would give us four successful winning seasons. We are trying to go to the playoffs three of the four years he (Rein) has been here. We know it's going to be a tough game."
Rein understands the importance of Friday's contest, but the all-purpose standout said Logan has its eyes on more than a postseason appearance.
"We not only want to make the playoffs but we want to get a playoff win," Rein said. "We haven't done that in school history. It is definitely a goal of ours. This week is a real big game and plays a big part in that."
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Rein has hopes of playing college football, and is being recruited by several schools, but the senior has broadened his options as a standout in the classroom.
"He's a three-sport star at Logan," Mullins said. "A couple schools (Lenoir-Rhyne and Fairmont State) have requested game film on him.
"He has some schools looking at him in baseball, too. Josh has already qualified for the Promise Scholarship. He's the whole package when it comes to high school student athletes."
Rein is one of the better receivers in the state, coming off a 2012 season during which he caught 30 passes for 689 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging 23 yards per catch.
His receiving numbers have dropped this season, but only because of his versatility.

From the pool to the putting green. Baltimore's favorite amphibian, the man with the most Olympic medals ever, is tackling a slower-paced game now—golf—and the world can watch his progress on the Golf Channel show, "The Haney Project," beginning Feb. 25 at 9 p.m.
Michael Phelps, whose handicap is roughly equal to the record number of medals he's won — 22 — will receive professional help from Hank Haney, known for working with Tiger Woods, among others, on the fifth season of "The Haney Project." Past Haney pupils have included ex-NBA star Charles Barkley, infamous for his gangly swing, comedian Ray Romano, and radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
"Normally, you think you can just pick anything up and do it," Phelps said in a video trailer promoting the upcoming show. "And this is like the one thing that I struggled with the most."
Phelps recently competed alongside Bubba Watson, the defending Master's Champion, (above left, with Phelps) at the Phoenix Open's pro-am event — where Phelps reportedly heard some boo's for the first time.
"I have never heard people boo me, but I'm sure it's happened – my face is just under water," Phelps said later, according to a Golf Channel story. "So it was a little different experience."
Certainly, Phelps' swing is much better than Barkley's and there may be hope for him developing into a solid amateur: last fall the swimmer sank a 153-foot putt on Scotland's links.

Can someone tell me when 2.3.4 will be released with all of the fixes and upgrades? I see a lot has gone on in the SVN, but there has been no further release since 2.3.3 in August. Thanks!
Re: 2.3.4?
16 October 2009 at 3:06am
Hoping someone will give an insight into when 2.3.4 will come out.
Re: 2.3.4?
16 October 2009 at 4:46am
Hi Yakiv, The next release on the road-map appears to be 2.4 alpha http://open.silverstripe.org/roadmap (no due date yet)
I would have thought there wont be a 2.3.4 unless they need to release an important security update. (but I'm no expert!)
Re: 2.3.4?
16 October 2009 at 7:01am Last edited: 16 October 2009 7:37am
Taffy, thanks for your reply. ...There are numerous bugs and issues in 2.3.3. I don't need to prove that point; just read the forums. ...So, I am hoping for a solid, stable release to come out very soon and it looks like 2.4 is next. Other people on the forums have even cried out for the next release. ...Can someone from the development team give some insight?
Re: 2.3.4?
16 October 2009 at 11:38am
AFAIK no 2.3.4 is planned. All our development effort is in 2.4 now. It is possible we could tag a 2.3.4 if there is critical issues in 2.3.3 but if you want to use the few bugfixes then run your projects on branches/2.3/.
Re: 2.3.4?
16 October 2009 at 4:05pm
And currently there are only 2 blocker tickets in Trac, so a 2.3.4 seems unlikely (even though one is that nasty 3004 I recently became aware of)
Also 2.4 is going to be awesome, looking forward to some RCs

Opensky return policy [opensky.com] |
I didn't see where anyone said they're not posting points within 30 days. What was their reasoning and who did you talk to? |
This was stated on my prior post -- they said they are waiting 30 days to allow them more time to handle fraud cases since this was a significant deal, and to allow time for returns.
It still doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me though, because we can't use the points anyway until after 30 days. I guess it may be easier for MyPoints and OpenSky since they'd only have to send the transaction data once by waiting the full return period before doing so.
User: When will the points from the 150 points per dollar OpenSky promotion show up as pending? MyPoints: These Points will not show up until 30 days after purchase. User: Even not showing up as pending? However, there is a screenshot showing that points will be credited within 30 days on the pop up when we clicked through the link from Mypoints to OpenSky when it was available. If you need so, here is the screenshot. http://i47.tinypic.com/1o28ub.jpg MyPoints: Yes. For this particular offer, we are waiting the full 30 days to credit Points to sift through any fraud attempts. User: It is rather strange. Having points pending but cannot cannot be redeemed for 30 days suffices to avoid fraud attempts, but also let members rest assured that the transactions have been recorded. |
Mypoints and Facebook
Users are confused is not really a good/strong reason to delete off the whole FB discussion.They could have just posted a big bold "EXPIRED OFFER" that would have taken care of this. Also, what kind of fraud they want to prevent by waiting the full 30 days to show the points as pending ? As pointed out, the points will be pending anyway and cannot be cashed out. They can also put an additional hold of 10-15 days on the points if need be. I am guessing they are trying/planning out some escape strategy, we just can't put our finger on it yet |
Are you always like this? Why are people so paranoid? Can't you wait 30 days? It is not a change it is upto $500/person, you should give reasonable time for mypoints and opensky. If you can't wait just cancel or return your order and be happy! Don't whine, annoy and spoil the deal for others! |
The deal is over, we are not spoiling anything for anybody, just having some speculation going on while we bide our time. If you are not interested in the banter, feel free to ignore the thread |

Remembering Ross Langdon: TEDx speaker and humanitarian architect dies in Nairobi attack
Ross Langdon at TEDxKraków
On September 21, gunmen attacked a shopping mall in Nairobi, killing at least 67 people, with many others still missing. We are extraordinarily saddened to hear that among the victims of this violence were TEDxKraków speaker Ross Langdon and his partner Elif Yavuz.
Ross, an architect by trade, gave a beautiful talk at TEDxKraków 2012 about "chameleon architecture," structures he built in places like Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania made of local materials. They're designed to complement communities, not disrupt them — something he was clearly passionate about. Before his death, Ross designed an HIV-AIDS hopistal in Kenya — pro bono — and was working on plans for a museum based on the first fossil records of humanoids walking.
TEDxKraków organizer Ewa Spohn shared her memories of Ross with us:
"From our very first conversation about his talk at TEDxKrakow, it was clear that Ross loved his profession and was devoted to it, but he approached it with a lightness that made him a joy to work with. His commitment to the potential of architecture to improve people's lives was clear and he took the architect's responsibility for the environment very seriously. We think this comes across in his talk. We're just grateful that we managed to record it so that everyone can see the potential for good that was destroyed though this senseless act of murder."
Above, Ross's talk, and, here, a touching tribute to him and his work by his friend Peter Adams. He will be missed.
The travel playlist: Around the world in 5 TEDx Talks
A gorgeous landscape in Afghanistan, documented by TEDx speaker James Willcox
As school starts, the weather turns cold, and long walks become harder to handle, pangs of wanderlust are sure to set in again. So to celebrate World Tourism Day, we thought we'd bring the great wide world to you. Here, we've hand picked five talks that take you all over the world — from Palestine to Poland — so you can travel vicariously through TEDx.
The road less traveled: Tony Wheeler at TEDxQueenstown
In the travel talk to end all travel talks, Tony Wheeler, founder of Lonely Planet, waxes poetic about the adventure of travel — in Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Albania, Libya, Myanmar, the Congo, Palestine, Zimbabwe and beyond — with gorgeous photos to boot.
A new look at an old country: Mark Power at TEDxKrakow
Sent to Poland to photograph the country in 2004, just before it joined the European Union, Mark Power found himself coming back again and again. This photographic tour de force at TEDxKrakow will show you the true complexity of this fascinating country. Warning: NSFW, some graphic images.
More than a thousand words — the power of images: Antonio Bolfo at TEDxEast
NYPD police officer and photographer Antonio Bolfo has seen a lot in his career. In this dynamic talk at TEDxEast, he shows how a well-crafted photo can tell a rich, inspiring story — with examples from the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the daily work of NYPD officers.
Off-road tours in Afghanistan: James Willcox at TEDxBathUniversity
James Wilcox operates a very untraditional tour company in Afghanistan and Somalia, giving tourists a chance to see the real places behind the headlines. In this talk at TEDxBathUniversity, he describes how he was inspired to start this off-road initiative after a chance meeting with a UN translator named Abdul.
Scenes from a Romanian village: Katy Fox at TEDxLuxembourgCity
Social anthropologist Katy Fox spent several months as a researcher in rural Romania. At TEDxLuxembourgCity, she shows what she learned — weaving stories of the people she met in the villages with stunning photos of village life.

7 amazing TEDxCity2.0 posters celebrate the city of the future
(TEDxCity2.0 posters from TEDxMelbourne, TEDxTanta, TEDxPeshawar and TEDxLeeds)
What is the city of the future? What will it look like? How will it come to be?
This weekend, from Taipei to Melbourne to Mexico City, over 100 local organizers will offer their answers at TEDx events in honor of TEDCity2.0, a day-long TED event to celebrate urban innovation.
TED challenged organizers to remix the official TEDCity2.0 posters (made by design firm Kiss Me I'm Polish) to give them some local flavor — with really impressive results.
Below, some of our favorites — including a design from TEDxStormont in Belfast, Northern Ireland — whose team cited Seamus Heaney's poem, "The Cure at Troy," as inspiration, a poem signaling new hope for Belfast after long political trauma. Eva Grosman, TEDxStormont's organizer, sent this excerpt:
"History says, don't hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme."
1. TEDxChristchurch: Christchurch, New Zealand
Kaila Colbin, organizer: "Christchurch is a city best defined by transition, as it seeks to rebuild and reinvent itself following the major earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. Today, the city is littered with shipping containers and broken buildings, but it also boasts seeds of life as creative temporary projects have begun to spring up. A summer events pavilion made entirely of blue shipping pallets or a Cathedral made out of cardboard…these are all signs of the re-emergence of Christchurch as a place to experiment and grow."
