Development of the Euro Hawk drone cost hundreds of millions of euros. Despite early indications of problems, Defense Minister Thomas de Maizière held on to the project. DW chronicles the Euro Hawk's short life.
The government coalition of Social Democrats and Greens laid the foundation for the development of a surveillance drone as early as 2001. Five defense ministers came and went during the planning and trial process of the Euro Hawk unmanned aircraft. Warnings of flight permit problems came early. Here's what happened between the project's start in 2001 and its sudden end in 2013.
As a member of the SPD/Greens coalition government, Defense Minister Rudolf Scharping (SPD) planned the commission of a surveillance drone that would fly at a height of 20 kilometers (12 miles) and registers radio and radar signals with the help of modern technology. US defense technology company Northrop Grumman was to be tasked with production, while European aviation firm EADS was to develop the surveillance technology. That was as far as plans went.
During Peter Struck's (SPD) term as defense minister, America's Global Hawk performed its first test flights in German air space. That drone served as the prototype for the "Euro Hawk." The six successful flights laid the foundation for cooperation between the companies involved and the German defense ministry that followed.
The Bundeswehr asked EADS and Northrop Grumman to present an offer for the development, production and delivery of a Euro Hawk.
Then came the first words of caution. An EADS employee warned that an anti-collision system was necessary, particularly during departure and landing. On other occasions, similar warnings came from air traffic controllers, the private sector and the German military itself.
In November, EADS and Northrop Grumman founded the 'Euro Hawk GmbH' corporation. In December, they presented their bid. Public announcements about the project appear not to have been made.
Looking back, Franz Josef Jung (CDU), the defense minister at that time, recently told the German weekly "Bild am Sonntag" that the contract included an automatic anti-collision system and a "recourse clause."
The budget committee in Germany's lower house of parliament approved the program in late January 2007. The defense ministry signed a 430-million-euro ($560-million) contract with the Euro Hawk GmbH corporation for the drone project.
According to current reports in "Spiegel" magazine, German military inspectors pointed out potential flight permit issues in summer 2009. They criticized the manufacturer for not providing any approved construction documents that would have facilitated the obtaining of those permits. It also remains unclear whether members of the German army were even authorized to issue flight permits for the drone.
But under pressure from the defense ministry, with Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg (CSU) as minister, a military inspector eventually carried out the necessary tests allowing for a temporary permission of flight.
In June, the Euro Hawk took off for the first time. It flew from the Northrop Grumman plant in Palmdale, California to the Edwards Air Force Base in the same state. The flight lasted two hours.
On July 20, the aircraft embarked on its way to Germany and landed on Manching air field near Ingolstadt after 22 hours in the air.
Officially, this was seen as a success and hailed as the beginning of a new era of surveillance. At the time, the drone had a temporary traffic permit and could only take off and land in restricted air space.
There were reports that contact was temporarily lost with the drone during the flight and that it had deviated from its programmed route. US security authorities had denied overflight permission for the Euro Hawk within the United States.
Toward the end of 2011, the German defense ministry under current minister Thomas de Maizière (CDU) discovered that flight permits would cost an additional 500 to 600 million euros.
In early 2013, the drone flew for six hours over Germany, marking another test flight that was viewed as a success.
But Defense Minister de Maizière stopped the drone project in May because of massive problems in obtaining flight permits for European airspace. Construction documents were missing for some 120 Euro Hawk components. Amid growing criticism, de Maizière also announced his ministry's decision to deliver sensitive Euro Hawk documents uncensored to Germany's Federal Court of Auditors.
A short while later, Northrup Grumman and EADS issued a joint statement contradicting the defense ministry. "Media reports that indicate there are challenges with the aircraft's flight control system, as well as excessive costs associated with completing airworthiness certification, are inaccurate," they said.
The full Euro Hawk system, the companies added, performed flawlessly and safely throughout the entire flight test program.
The defense ministry grounded its decision to suddenly the Euro Hawk program on the expected additional costs of up to 600 million euros.
The German defence minister is facing growing criticism over the failure of the surveillance drone program "Euro Hawk." Will he survive the scandal? The debacle could also create problems for Merkel's re-election bid. (31.05.2013)
Germany is planning to purchase more than a dozen military drones over the next few years, according to a report in a news magazine. This comes shortly after the ministry abandoned plans to build the Euro Hawk drone. (28.05.2013)
From 2016, women must hold 30 percent of corporate board positions in some of Germany's biggest listed companies. The agreement on a legal quota came after talks among Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition parties.
Greece's economy has begun outpacing the rest of the eurozone. Even so, with one in four Greeks unemployed, many find the news that the economy is recovering laughable. Joanna Kakissis reports from Athens.
Armed tribes have attacked Yemen's main oil pipeline, halting the flow to a crucial export terminal. The country almost exclusively depends on its oil and gas shipments abroad to secure foreign currency.
EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has unveiled a huge investment plan in Strasbourg. The scheme is to provide hundreds of billions of euros for telecoms and transportation projects.

I wasn't quite sure why until I just read that the singer is now engaged. Well that explains that. Brantley told DJ Bobby Bones in an interview this morning that he's engaged to a gal he's written many of his songs about. so @BrantleyGilbert just announced he's engaged to the girl he wrote about in "more than miles".

A couple of weeks ago Jana had made an admission on Twitter to missing her man, Washington Redskins tight end Michael Caussin. It was the first mention that she was dating someone. Visiting his Twitter, it was full of all kinds of little love notes to Jana and the two seemed like a cute couple. Unfortunately, things seem to have ended on a not-so-happy note not too long after Jana's first mention of Caussin. On August 21, Caussin made his last entry on...

Jana went public with an admission to missing this man. Well...this man happens to be hottie Michael Caussin, a TE for the Washington Redskins! Great couple....they'd make really cute babies!

I've been meaning to write up the story, but the info was still coming into my inbox so I put it off a bit. Besides that, I'm pretty much over this whole thing anyway. Well this morning Ashley wrote about Jason finally speaking up about his relationship with Kerr, so I figured now was as good a time as any to get on the ball. I'm torn in this story because I think Jason is right when he...

Just about two weeks after I wondered out loud if Joel Crouse had popped the question to girlfriend Lucy Hale, Us Weekly had a story about the two breaking up. "Lucy and Joel are done," the source tells Us, adding the couple split because "it was hard with the distance." "She's working a lot on Pretty Little Liars and on music—she debuted at the Opry over the weekend. It got to be too much," the source adds of Hale, who debuted her new single, "Lie A Little Better," at...

Despite Jason and girflriend Brittany Kerr's dubious relationship beginnings, Jason has received the thumbs up from a very important person in his girlfriend's life ... her grandma. Radar Online managed to somehow track down Brittany's grandmother, Louvada Barbee, to ask her how she felt about the couple's relationship. Turns out she had nothing but nice things to say and even expressed hopes that there's a wedding in the pair's future. "I have met him and he seems to be very nice," she told Radar.

Jason Aldean was accompanied by his new arm candy, girlfriend Brittany Kerr, on the red carpet at tonight's CMT Music Awards. This is the first public appearance the pair have made together since taking their relationship public back in March. Well at least Brittany decided to get dressed up for the occasion. #495635445 / gettyimages.com Shannon Joel Crouse is dating Lucy Hale ... duh tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00e552403d2f883301a73dc3ef43970d 2014-05-14T19:09:00-06:00 2014-05-14T19:25:57-06:00 Twitter So Us Weekly just "broke" the story that Joel Crouse and Lucy Hale are a couple. Of course, if they read our happy little blog here they would have known the pair were a couple back in April when Broadway first reported it. I'm thinking maybe my fellow NashvilleGab bloggers and I should quit our day jobs and go into the anonymous source business for these magazines. That's probably where the big bucks are. Oh well. From Us Weekly's scoop: "They are seeing each other. He is in L.A. right now to visit," the source tells Us. "It isn't...

Well apparently I've been wrong. This morning I was sent these two screen captures of what appears to be Jason Aldean telling off someone who attacked his girlfriend, Brittany Kerr, on Instagram. In the first screen capture, you can see that Jason's current flame, Brittany, had written that she had just finished up a makeup course. One person brought up Jason's 11-year-old... Shannon

It is worth to test once, but no reason to come back again.
At the end of October 2014 it was nice to swim outside in the warm water.
There are no interesting facilities for children.
If you are for the first time, do not hope that somebody will care of you. The check in part reminded me the supermarket cash desk. No explanations - just pay & go.
1) when you get the bracelet you have to check on the screens what is your locker number;
2) during autumn the water will not seem so...
Spa water is great, lovely for the body and soul. Very refreshing and medical. You will only find this type of spa water in Heviz, Hungary.
We were on holiday in Lake Balaton and took a day trip to Heviz. And I must say the experience is quite surreal. The thermal lake is completely natural and hidden away in a forest which you walk through first to reach the Lake. The entrance fee is reasonable.
The Lake has plenty facilities & activities to eat, drink, relax...
I visited the lake with my family and I enjoyed it a lot. We went there in October but surprisingly the weather was perfect, we even could sunbath a little bit. It is just a perfect place to enjoy the nature, the water is warm almost all year. We also payed for a massage which was great, the staff was...
I was in the first days of October Heviz. A beautiful sunny days on the lake was full of splendor. The water was great: clean, fragrant and very pleasantly warm. The water lilies were beautiful, I could swim quite close to them. It was a great experience. But the greatest value of the healing power of the lake. The soul...
Nice to swim outside in the warm water. The hottest water can be found inside the main building, best to go there for last.
Full of minerals etc., apparently! A natural thermal spa for relaxing your body. Very nice and very popular.
a thermal lake with a full spa and treatments like masagge, baths, etc.
water comes from an underground source, meaning that the lake is year round warm.

Rogers Honored for Breaking the Glass Ceiling
Share It.
(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) - Sally J. Rogers, UC Davis professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, was honored on Monday during the Breaking the Glass Ceiling Awards of the California Legislative Women's Caucus.
The awards celebrate the successes of California women in breaking barriers in the fields of science, technology, the arts, the judiciary and beyond. The ceremony was part of the Assembly's celebration of Women's History Month during the Floor Session.
"Today we're celebrating pioneers in science, civil rights, the arts, education, our armed forces, our courts, and our government," said Assemblymember Bonnie Lowenthal, (D-Long Beach), chair of the Legislative Women's Caucus. "In each of our honorees we see the best of the California spirit."
Rogers was one of 11 award recipients. She was acknowledged as the developer of the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) method of early autism intervention. The intervention is effective for improving cognition and language skills among very young children with autism, normalizing their brain activity, decreasing their autism symptoms and improving their social skills. A study of ESDM by Rogers and her colleagues was named number five among the top 10 medical breakthroughs of 2012 by TIME magazine.
"The glass ceiling, the invisible barrier that holds people back due to perceptions based on characteristics not related to their abilities, impedes people with autism, just as it does women and other groups," Rogers said of receiving the accolade. "We hope that our work in early autism will help some of these children break glass ceilings for themselves as they grow up."
Other honorees included, Frances A. Arnold, co-founder of Gevo, Inc., and the only woman to receive the Draper Prize from the U.S. National Academy of Engineering; Weili Dai, co-founder of the Marvell Technology Group and the only woman co-founder of a global semiconductor company; Marie Zoe Dunning, graduate of the United States Naval Academy, one of the first military members to be prosecuted under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell;" and Jennifer Harris Trosper, who sent two rovers to Mars as part of the NASA Mars Exploration Rover Mission.

So you lost your ticket, eh?
Tuesday 30 May 1995
Spot fines on the Underground have made the public think of inspectors as monsters. wonders why . He looks shifty enough. In his late thirties with short dark hair and a black bomber jacket. He nervously taps his foot and looks around the Tube carriage. On any other day he might have got away with it, but today he's been spotted.
Paul, 35, and Ian, 42, (not their real names) are London Underground revenue control inspectors working the District Line. And they've found their first culprit. Dressed in blue and yellow striped hats and navy uniform, they have been walkingdown the aisles of carriages for the past hour. Travellers stare at them mutely, holding up tickets for perfunctory inspection. A group of teenagers giggles. "Nice hat," shouts one. Paul smiles and carries on walking. Then he spots the shifty-looking man and asks him for his ticket. He produces a crumpled weekly travelcard two days out of date.
We step out of the train at the next stop. Paul fires questions at him while Ian writes notes in a small black book. "What's your name? Where did you get on? Where do you live?" The transformation from benign ticket inspectors to tough policemen is swift. "We advise that what you say now could be used as evidence against you. Is that really where you live because we can check if what you say is true or not? Where did you really get this ticket from?"
"What is this, a bloody bank robbery?" the man responds. He then explains that his wife lent the ticket to him this morning and didn't realise the date had expired. "I've told you where I live, and you can check it if you like," he says sarcastically.
More details are recorded before their suspect suddenly takes flight towards the exit. Ian and Paul chase him as far as the ticket barriers. He bounds over them and runs out of the station. "He's probably a persistent fare evader," says Ian, slightly out of breath. "I should think he'll get prosecuted for this one."
Chases such as this are rarer now that London Underground (LU) issues spot fines of pounds 10 and fewer passengers try to travel for free. Since the policy was introduced last April, 100,000 penalty fares have been given out, and in the first week alone inspectors took pounds l.8m for excess fares.
LU spokesman Donal McCabe is keen that passengers should take the measure seriously. "We've taken fare evaders to court," he says. "We've also sent bailiffs to people's houses. It's to show that we don't want this to be seen as an idle threat."
With an pounds 8m increase in ticket sales in the last financial year, much of which is attributed to spot fines, this is clearly not so. But such an active threat has made passengers resentful - often towards staff. Paul has been sworn at, kicked and thrown down a flight of stairs.
Recently, his mate was pinned against a wall and ended up in hospital. "I don't enjoy my job. There's just too much stress," he says darkly. "I'd rather work in an office." Ian is also nervous of the risks: "I always wonder if I'll get back in one piece," he says. "I never tell my wife the whole story."
More criticism towards the fines has come from the London Regional Passengers Committee (LRPC), which has already aired its concerns to Steven Norris, the local transport minister. To date, there have been 26,500 appeals by passengers against the imposition of penalty fares and 700 people have taken their complaints to the LRPC.
Rufus Barnes, secretary for the committee, believes the policy is too harsh. "We're concerned about people who forget their ticket or lose it," he says. "Under the Penalty Fares Act, LU no longer has to prove your intent. It's just a question of fact that you're guilty."
When Robert McEwen, a commuter, was travelling to Clapham Common last summer, inspectors stopped him for under-paying his fare by 30p. "I was made to feel like a criminal," he says. "It was a genuine mistake, but they assumed I was in the wrong. I was ordered off the train and told to pay pounds 10 immediately. They were rude and heavy-handed. I found their treatment humiliating."
Inspectors are told to use their discretion. In my presence, Paul and Ian are reasonable and polite with all the passengers. On one carriage, they approach an elderly woman, sitting amid a pile of shopping bags, who has underpaid. She shows her ticket, flushes red and apologises profusely while the rest of the carriage pretend to ignore her embarrassment. Paul smiles kindly and doesn't fine her. Instead, he patiently explains the fare prices to her.
In many cases, Paul follows his instincts. "You can get to know their nature even before you approach them," he says. "Something inside will say, 'OK, let this one go.' '' He says there are now fewer out there to catch, and fare evasion has decreased by about 50 per cent. London Buses has been impressed with these results and followed suit early this month, charging fare evaders on-the-spot fines of pounds 5.
No doubt ticket sale revenues will shoot up along with the number of passenger complaints. Caught in the middle are the inspectors who take the brunt of the blame. As Paul says: "Everybody's got some grievance and they take it out on you. It's not nice giving someone a criminal record for what many may see as something rather petty. But you've got to do it, even though I'd just rather not."

A Fun, dark & weird collection,
This review is from: Polluto 2: Apocalypses and Garden Furniture (Hardcover)
Bizzaro fiction is something of a new experience for me. I've read small bits of it before, but it's not a genre I consider myself well versed in so this is going to be a less neutral review that takes the experiences of an inexperienced reader into account. What I'm looking for in a good weird story is intelligence despite absurdness, a story I'm capable of understanding despite skewing the idea of reality and an emotional response with some aspect of the story.
Polluto # 2, dubbed "Apocalypses & Garden Furniture", is a hefty collection of tales.
First off, "The End" by Dave Migman, is a short and to-the-point tale of an apocalypse that's worthy of the more traditional science fiction tales on the subject. As a quick introduction to Polluto it's a solid, enjoyable tale.
"Scenes of Creation" by Grant Wamack centers on a very interesting idea, an artist/creator's discards taking on a brutal-filled life of their own. A commentary on creativity controlling the creator, it wiggles into too much for my tastes at brief moments, but is otherwise solid.
"I'm Going Through Changes" also by Dave Migman is similar to many "crazy-serial killer" stories one finds in the horror genre. However it possesses a beauty and meaning that other such stories lack, mostly because it's not trying to be brutal, flashy or horrific. It's just being.
Chet Gottfriend's "The Ragnarok Seduction" is deviously hilarious, and worth the price of this issue alone. The tale of Jack, a much-suffering husband to a Valkyrie who is a bit over-enthused about the impending end of the world it's very clever and amusing from beginning to end. A highly recommended read.
"Twins" by Rosalia Sanfilippo is an excellent poem that challenges the icons of religion and our need for and perceptions of higher powers. It's also very readable and understandable, with good imagery.
Next, Steve Redwood's "The Burden of Sin" is a parallel to the Highlander movies and television shows. Not quite a copy, it uses the familiar reference to make more musings about religions and the ideas of belief and sin. When McLoud, a Scottish brute and one of the last immortals, begins badgering Foplamov, the other last immortal who has used his gift to enjoy life rather than to build himself up into a monstrous fighting machine, Foplamov hatches a plan to use the true believer's own fears to even the odds between them. What follows is a strange, paradoxical tale of belief and the irrational power it holds over people.
"Cracking Nuts with Jan Hammer" by Rhys Hughs is a study on Hell as told from a flat, compassionless progressive rock musician. During the course of the story readers learn that all prog rockers go to Hell and serve food to other, better musicians, and that the lead character suspects the Devil himself might be a prisoner in Hell. But nothing much is done with any of these ideas, leaving the story with an overall noncommittal feel.
"Murk" by Robert Lamb is a long and vivid Elder Gods sort of tale about a man who runs into something terrible and strange in the twisting tunnels of the subway. Rescued from the subway wreck he thinks everything is fine until he starts to gain weight and feelings the incredible urge to return to the scene of the crime. This tale flirts with heavy-handedness but mostly remains on the side of dark, toxic, unknowable storytelling.
"Gloomy Countdowns" by William Doreski is a poem that takes several different versions, or scenes, of the end times. Some religion capitalized, some the bitter destruction of beautiful things. They don't quite come together, but each stands fine on its own.
"Hard Landscapes" by P.J. Nolan is another mini-collection of poetry, but this one lost me. The words seemed to collide and refuse to melt together into visual scenes. Only the last part jumped off the page, reflecting on the story's over all title.
Deb Hoag's "Church of the Bitter Raygun" misses for me, getting tangled in its attempts at clever use of phrases, familiar in our time, in a post apocalyptic world. But I found no deeper meaning, or even a world setting, just a mix and match of science fiction aspects and brand names.
Next is "Zombie Love Song" by Adam Lowe, a different kind of zombie tale. Set in India, it's a biohorror testament to the core nature of the world, beauty and rot.
"Love and Gasoline" by Michael Colangelo is a post apocalyptic love story, of sorts. It's purposefully shallow and hopeless, mirroring the plot itself and reinforcing it.
Deb Hoag's "Meatloaf of the Apocalypse" is an almost -sweet tale of genetic mutation, nuclear irradiation and a lonely man. It's partly about the junk we fill our bodies with and what happens when you leave a man home alone and he gets bored. Dark, and it shifts the magazine back to a amusing tone.
"The Art of Survival" by Steven Archer is a rambling piece on the nature of art, quoting a number of truisms that are also found elsewhere. From there Polluto moves on to "Ahlana Demona" by MP Johnson. The title character is a pre-op male-to-female transgendered monster hunter who sweeps up a zombie rights activist into her attempts to find out who has been killing people and blaming innocent zombies. The story is a long rip on urban fantasy, complete with a female lead that's too butch to really be a woman, and a monster love story. Its jumps of logic, cliché baddies and convenient breaks of plot only add to the farce feel of the story.
"The Man Who Flirted with Mother Nature" by Mike Philbin reveals a serious problem with sex issues, as it sets Mother Earth up as a rapist and torturer and humans as her poor, ignorant sex toys. The lead character has a "I'm the only one that is awesome enough to see the truth" attitude and the prose itself lacks a flow and is at times wordy rather than precise. This matches the whole structure of the story, which makes its point quickly, then proceeds to keep reiterating it for seven more pages, killing any interest it manages to build.
"Sex, Lies, Religion" by Micci Oaten of Paparazzi [...], a nonfiction piece about being yourself comes next. Following is "Camille O'Sullivan: Trickery or Magic" by Patti Plinko, another nonfiction piece on the feeling of being a subject rather than the artist/performer for once.
Then comes "Hobo Poet" by RC Edrington, a triad of punk rock poems and "Live Without a Net: Self-Loathing" also by Edrington. The latter is a prose piece that gives a frighteningly real glimpse inside the mind and life of an addict. This one is one of the darkest and most horrific tales of the issue.
The next fiction tale is "Agent Apocalypse" by Dave Migman. True to title it's a tale of a man who is trying to push the apocalypse closer, not through elaborate measures, but by simple, annoying ones that leave the rest of us wondering if people do these things on purpose. This story says boldly, "Yes, I do."
"Emerging" by Ellen Kombiyil is a final poetic offering, a slice of post apocalyptic that becomes beauty for one of our most underrated icons.
Finally comes "The Beginning" by Dave Migman, one short final word on the apocalypse that reduces it not to a cosmic end, but to one more part of the a natural cycle.
I found Polluto #2 to be an overall enjoyable read, most of the stories containing all the truth and humor I'd hoped to find. The number of good stories to lackluster makes this one a good buy in my opinion, with a nice re-read quality.

Cousin, you are in luck !
William Jasper Miller was a child of James A Miller. He was born 1829, and died October 26, 1912 in Bexar County, Texas. He married Catherine Wright February 24, 1857 in Bexar County, Texas.
His burial was October 1912, Old Rock Church Cemetery, Somerset, Tx along with his wife Catherine.
The Census of 1850 shows William Jasper in Smith Co. Ms. with his parents.
He did military service after 1860, with the 5th Texas Cavalry and 36th Texas Cavalry, Co I.
Children of William Miller and Catherine Wright are:
Robert E. Miller, b. 1858; m. Miranda Fulks, June 26, 1881, Atascosa County, Texas.
Jefferson Davis Miller, b. April 18, 1860, Old Somerset, Atascosa Cty, Texas; d. 1934, Somerset, Atascosa County, Texas.
Fannie M. Miller, b. 1866, Tx; d. March 31, 1906.
Nannie M. Miller, b. 1866; m. (1) Lawson; M. (2) Reed.
Mary Miller, b. October 23, 1870; d. April 29, 1954; m. (1) Bartholomew McConnell, October 06, 1890, Atascosa County, Texas; m. (2) Wade McVea, May 29, 1895, Atascosa County, Texas.
Guy A. Miller, b. 1874, Tx; d. 1898, Old Rock Church Cemetery, Somerset, Tx. Died of Typhoid
Now this group lived around Somerset, just south of Benton City. Benton City became a ghost town and Lytle is near by.
My line is through a brother of Jasper...Arnold Green Miller who married Margarit C. Byrom. They also lived near Somerset.
What else can I tell you ?

Gotta keep your hands to yourself, fellas
A BOSSIP source close to the beaten baby mama's camp claims that this tattooed rhyme-spitter got into a knock-down-drag-out brawl with the mother of his child after she caught wind of his dirty dog deeds with another woman.
Although this MC has experienced a modicum of success in the past years, he is a known wankster who likes to put on as if his money is a lot older than the name of his record label suggests.
He's recently been seen parading around town with some of his A-List friends, thirsty for photo ops that will keep him relevant while his career is on serious slide. For the life of us we can't figure out why these friends are hangin' out with him, but that's neither here, nor there.
Considering that this frail-bodied fraud is so skinny, we're actually surprised that his baby mama didn't whoop his azz once the fade commenced!
Any idea who he might be???

Reiterating that Uncharted was developed as a franchise from the outset, Balestra states that everyone at Naughty Dog is incredibly eager to get stuck into their next project. With only 30% of the SPUs being harnessed for their first outing on the PlayStation 3, they seem determined to see what else they can do in the future.
The Naughty Dogs also explain that in migrating to the PS3, they had to leave behind their proprietary programming language, Lisp, and start from scratch. Now that they have, any future endeavours will be that much easier with their (not so) basic grounding in coding for the machine fully established. Check out the full interview for more insight into the company behind Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

DHB keen to wipe off $1.8m bills
Relevant offers
The Southern District Health Board is looking at wiping off $1.8 million in unpaid medical bills - despite battling a $13m deficit.
Figures from the board show overseas visitors owe the District Health Board $2.5m in unpaid emergency and surgical services, an amount that has accumulated over the past five years.
District Health Board finance executive director Peter Beirne said the board was "doubtful" it would recover $1.3m and more than $500,000 had already been written off.
"It is likely that we will recover [about] $0.7m over time," he said.
Most of the debt is accrued from non-residents and relates to patients who have been treated but either have no means of paying, or in some cases leave New Zealand and are unable to be tracked down in their home country.
Beirne said analysis of non-resident revenue from 2012-13 shows the largest accrued debt was from Dunedin Hospital.
Sixty-three per cent of the debt was attributed to Dunedin services, 27 per cent to Invercargill and 10 per cent to Lakes District, he said.
In a response to an Official Information Act request from The Southland Times, the health board said "debts of those ineligible for free health care were tracked centrally . . ." and therefore they could not provide specific dollar amounts owed to southern Emergency Departments.
But when asked what the average overseas patient paid for emergency or surgical services Mr Beirne said most patients were treated in the ED.
"The average [cost] is misleading, as a number are treated in ED and discharged and a number of others incur significant charges."
Overseas visitors who need to access free hospital services in New Zealand are encouraged to bring their passports with them when presenting at emergency departments.
However, that will not guarantee they are eligible for free health care.
The system relies on individual reciprocal arrangement between New Zealand and their country of citizenship, a visitors' immigration status and their travel insurance policy.
For example, many UK travellers do not realise the reciprocal agreement with New Zealand will cover them only for treatment deemed an emergency.

Kamioroshi, the Descent of the Gods
A Staged Reading
Seeking actors for a staged reading of Kamioroshi: The Descent of the Gods which will occur on March 1, 2013 from 4-5:30pm in the Tsai Auditorium at Harvard University.
The reading is sponsored by the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies and the Du Bois Institute for African American and African Research both at Harvard and the School of Theater and the Global Theater Project at Boston University.
The play is set in Japan during the so-called "opening of Japan" by the US and the western powers from 1853. Most importantly it concerns an African American women fugitive slave and a Shawnee Indian who travel to Asia during this period in search of allies in their struggle for freedom against "the Americans." They discover surprising intellectual and spiritual commonalities with Japanese peasants struggling with the impositions of the Tokugawa regime and the coming oppressions of the Meiji restoration. The play is conceived as a poetic journey across cultural worlds in search of alliances and spiritual world renewal.
The following characters will be cast:
A Shawnee Indian man
An African American woman
Three Japanese men
Three Japanese women
Theywould like to cast an African American female as the fugitive slave woman and Asians as the Japanese; however, they are committed to colorblind casting and will cast actors regardless of their ethnicity.
The performance will run for an hour and a half followed by a reception. There will be two rehearsals (on February 25 and 27th) before the performance.
This reading is a step towards a full staged production of the play with movement and music.

Unfortunately, there is no set out procedure for dating, and there is no way we can be sure that we're doing things correctly. His extremely inventive message to seduce me is: Hey, you are so sweet looking. Maybe that someone you share the rest of your life with.
Native American DayThe state holiday, called Columbus Day in other states, officially was established in 1990 by the Legislature to honor Native Americans living in South Dakota.
Are you shy or very reserved about starting to date after a long-term relationship has ended?
He had just overcome a drug addiction and was wearing a shirt which his mother had ironed. Of course, what these sites tell us about ourselves does not stop at race. But maybe, I wouldn't do that."
That is why it is often better for a single person to find others for oneself online.
It's a shame men aim for the younger age range because women of 45 and 55 are arguably much more sexually mature and able to give a lot more pleasure than, say, a woman of 25."
But a lot of those men my age are only looking at women in their 20s or 30s.
Top Dating Tip #2 – think hard about the type of person you are looking for and find eight or ten key words or phrases positive and negative which describe that person, eg steady, loyal, loving, money not important though it helps, must have his own hair, like dancing and pets, no gamblers or heavy drinkers.
Tinder is also extremely location dependent as it works perfectly in London where we are all too busy and important to make any huge sort of effort. It took one too many times of swiping to the right before I realised I was liking men unintentionally. Dating Local Singles Also, the cost of this country is very high because of necessities are very expensive.
So from the point of view of the producers, this Cournot Equilibrium is worse than monopoly, but better than perfect competition. http://cougardating.biz/ And that's a bad thing. The concept is simple – you sign up, create your profile as irresistible to the opposite gender as you possibly can, then message those that you are interested in. Afterward, you can simply go about your day and do whatever it is which you were going to do, come back and check out your messages.
About eight or nine powwows are scheduled to be held later this year and into next year.
She points to a passage in the book Intimacy by Hanif Kureshi, when his narrator briefly considers the fate of the woman he is leaving: "A lone middle-aged woman with kids doesn't have much cachet. You will employ a nickname and all of your distinguishing details will be kept safe.
Your profile picture is probably the mostimportant part of your dating profile and as such that is exactly where most ofthe mistakes are made. Total quantity being produced is less than would be produced under perfect competition, but more than would be produced under monopoly.
A physical event where people actually meet instead of everybody finding online dating a bit of a letdown and just staying home feeling sorry for themselves."
The largest 1 from the lot is Ashley Madison. She will, unfortunately, become the recipient of sympathy.
Knowing yourself means you know how long you need in terms of time after a break up before you start to date again unless all you are seeking is a physical relationship.
Opening my e-mails over the past few months, there seems to be a trend in men sending me messages through hubpages. I did however have a fairly normal conversation with one man who I agreed to meet for a drink.
Before I divulge, please bare in mind that, like most little girls, I grew up hearing stories about princes on horseback taking princesses off into the sunset, and watching Disney movies where men would either break into sporadic song or fight a giant octopus for your affections.
I played up the fact that I had won a prestigious international design award, and downplayed my occasional bouts of sledgehammer cynicism fuelled by pizza and Peroni. http://rencontresfrancegratuit.com/ But let's say you are seeking a long term relationship and you have been single for a period of time that allows you room to develop and cultivate true authentic feelings for another.
I very clearly mention that I am disabled, but do not go into specifics. Straightforwardly and being careful not to be dramatic. We wrote to each other a lot and became Skype friends. I was about to get them the wrong way around. It's an invisible band of women, they don't complain and they just get on with their lives, but actually it's tough for them.
Any undercurrent of further intentions could be good enough to ruin things, although it may be acceptable to make minor physical contact with your date towards the end of the evening.
