A primary World Bank Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) objective is to promote sustainable sector growth, reflecting on the National Strategy for Socio-Economic Development's (NSSED) theory, which treats the private sector as the driving force behind growth. Relative political stability and commitment to reforms since 1998 have led to robust growth in private sector activity. However, to sustain private sector growth leading to poverty reduction, it is necessary to improve the business environment and complete the structural reform agenda (especially enterprise and financial sector privatization). A Foreign Investment Advisory Sector (FIAS) study identified poor governance and weak institutions as the overarching problem deterring foreign direct investments (FDI).In an attempt to overcome such obstacles, the World Bank's CAS is geared towards the creation of more accountable and transparent institutions. The Bank Group is supporting the government's efforts to improve the institutional and legal framework by assessing administrative barriers to investment (FIAS) and subsequently streamlining administrative procedures (PRSC II, 2003); improving the legal framework for bankruptcy, resolution of debt, and commercial disputes through the ongoing Financial Sector Adjustment Credit, 2002 and PRSC I and II, 2002-2003, respectively; and establishing with the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) an investment promotion agency.Microenterprises and small enterprises dominate Albania's economy. A number of donor initiatives, including Southeast Europe Enterprise Development (SEED) are specifically working to assist micro, small, and medium enterprises. The need for a business climate extends to rural areas, where many of Albania's poor live, highlighting the need for a sound rural strategy. Improving infrastructure, especially in rural areas is also essential for enabling business environment.Although the necessity for growth and reform is evident in the enterprise sector, tangible progress continues in the financial sector reforms. Since 1997, the government has liquidated the insolvent state-owned Rural Commercial Bank, privatized the National Commercial Bank to an investor consortium that included the IFC and EBRD, and put the Savings Bank - the last remaining state-owned and Albania's largest - under a governance contract in preparation for its privatization, which is well advanced at this point. Close IDA-IFC cooperation has been instrumental in helping Albania move forward with financial sector privatization. The IFC is helping the government market the Savings Bank while planning to invest in it. The ongoing Financial Sector Institution Building Technical Assistance Project and the proposed Financial Sector Adjustment Credit (2002), which will be presented to the Board with the CAS, will also support the government in privatizing the Savings Bank as well as INSIG. Meanwhile, the government of Albania, IFC and EBRD are in the process of negotiations for acquiring up to 40 percent in the share capital of INSIG. Respective agreements for the final transfer of the shares will mark the first stage of pre-privatization of INSIG.Projects - Under Preparation:

In watching the Atlanta Press Club debates tonight, I see little difference in the two Republican candidates for state school superintendent, John Barge and Richard Woods, making it a difficult decision for GOP voters next month. Both oppose the federal Race to the Top grants, which has put them on the wrong side of the governor who very much wants the possible $400 million grant that will be awarded in September.

Requiem for The Agency April 8, 2011Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, Sony Online Entertainment.
Tags: Because SOE, The Agency, Unshipped MMOs
It has been a week since the news broke.
It seems that there are no other surprises, retractions, or last minute reprieves coming.
The time has come for The Agency.
I've been riding The Agency for a while now.
I have bemoaned the hype and silence cycle that seemed to part of its life.
I have predicted it not shipping for the last few years.
I played, and mocked, the Facebook tie-in game, The Agency: Covert Ops.
It was listed on my MMO Outlook for 2011 list, which I used to take another shot at its long gestation.
Doing something about it was one of my demands for 2001.
But by now most of us have read this official statement from SOE which includes the cancellation of The Agency.
As part of a strategic decision to reduce costs and streamline its global workforce, SOE announced today that it will eliminate 205 positions and close its Denver, Seattle and Tucson studios. As part of this restructuring, SOE is discontinuing production of The Agency so it can focus development resources on delivering two new MMOs based on its renowned PlanetSide and EverQuest properties, while also maintaining its current portfolio of online games. All possible steps are being taken to ensure team members affected by the transition are treated with appropriate concern.
This strategic decision will have no impact on SOE's current portfolio of live games; additionally SOE will transition development efforts for the Denver and Tucson studios' suite of products to its San Diego headquarters. This strategic alignment of development resources better positions SOE to remain a global leader in online gaming and deliver on its promise of creating entertaining games for players of all ages, and servicing the 20 million players that visited SOE servers in just the past year.
And so it is done, and with all I have said about it before, I felt I ought to note the closing of this chapter in MMO history.
A lot of people were excited about The Agency. People came back from SOE Fan Faire and repeatedly communicated that excitement, which spread through the MMO community. The fact that it seemed close to shipping so far back and that we would get news about it one day and then hear nothing for months created discontent in the fan base.
They put up some sexy pictures now and again.
They talked the talk and had some interesting game play videos.
But now the fate of The Agency has been sealed and the studio working on it has been closed down.
This is a disappointment to the community, and no doubt heart breaking to many who worked on the project.
But now The Agency joins the list of unshipped MMOs that have been canceled along with Ultima Online 2, Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising (the first one), Heroes Journey, and many more that never made it to the announcement/press release stage.
Now we can only wonder and what might have been.
- 2. Anjin - April 8, 2011
I must admit that I was looking forward to The Agency. It sounded like a nice something different.
- 3. angry gamer - April 9, 2011
It's times like this that I realize how little the world outside of software development understands software.
I feel sad about people losing jobs in this economy… But, the odds of getting any software project to code complete with quality workmanship is like 50 to 1.
Yes it's that stacked against you.
This is one of the reasons I have repeatedly bashed SWTOR. It's not that they are late per se. It's the variance in message they keep sending. Bioware is a linear RPG game house… they have little experience with MMOs. So risks are high no matter what they do tactically. The only truly successful (as in make splash and money) are Rift, Wow and Eve. Rift and Wow both had big influences by EQ/UO veterans. So… Can Bioware come up with the ball? NOTE: all 3 of these examples have FANTASTIC hosting server side architectures.
Vaporware is not finished product
Demos at E3 etc are not finished product
Demos at PAX that STILL SHOW performance gliches! ARE NOT FINISHED PRODUCTS!!!
Bioware VPs talking about monetizing on shipping day DO NOT understand online game economics.
1) Either they are under-investing on hosting
2) They really believe that no one will subscribe for very long and box sales will make the nut alone.
Whichever way Bioware may not "get it" in time.
If I were a betting man I bet big money that SWTOR ships as a stand alone game (KOTOR III) when this is all said and done.

Some of you might know that I'm a DJ. I'm also a follower of Jesus. I like to mix those things. DJs tend to be good at mixing things (see what I did there?). Mixing those two things means that I have a vested interest in the Christian Dance Music community. I love the fact that in the last few years the quality of the DJs and music being produced has gone through the roof. So many good record labels putting out a lot of good tunes. Above All, Deeplife, Deepsink, MK837, Fuzion Four, God's DJs, Heaven Sound, and Royalty to name a few, are all puting out really quality tunes. I love the fact that it's a truly international movement. Not only do we cover the USA; coming out of Detroit, Chicago, Minnesota, Denver, Washington, Florida, Cali, and Virginia but our community represents the world including Brasil, Canada, Portugal, Czech Republic, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, and more. God is truly raising a global generation to make a new noise to lift His name high. We are putting God in every genre of electronic dance music. House, electro, trance, progressive, breaks, d&b, tech, deep house and even dubstep is feeling the love! There is no EDM fan that we don't have the capability of reaching.
But despite all of these beautiful things I LOVE about Christian Dance Music, there is one thing that I see that's really disturbing to me. Our community is fractured. We have separated ourselves and formed factions. You have to pick a team to play on and you will play their events and release on their label and that's it. In a sense, it is quickly becoming everything I dislike about the Church: divided for no reason other than just disagreements between people. This
includes everyone. No one is excluded from this. I'm not playing favorites; God just laid this on my heart and I'm sharing it.
I see these little spats and tiffs come up about this-and-that and then people never talk to each other again. We are supposed to be a united front. We are supposed to be recognized as THE Christian Dance Music community, not a bunch of completely separate, ambiguous units. It's become brother against brother. The body of Christ at odds against the body of Christ. In Mark 3:25, Jesus said that a house divided against itself cannot stand (and I know a little something about House Divided). The body of Christ can't be against itself and expect to still be effective, that's crazy.
I see myself as neutral. I am just an outsider looking in. But, I can tell you, as someone who loves this music, this community, and the people that make it what it is: if we keep going at this rate, our mission of reaching the lost and showing the Church that EDM is viable worship will fall completely flat.
We've got to get it together.
I know that we're still fledgling and we have a long way to go before we reach our goals, but that should be all the more reason to band together, isn't it? If we really are one body of believers, the whole body benefits at the success of an individual part. I'm just going to say it: If God's DJs is successful, we all win. If Tastyfresh.com is successful, we all win. If Deeplife Records is successful, we all win. If FSOW, or Cornerstone, or Lifelight, or any event is successful, we all win… and do you know why we all win? BECAUSE JESUS WINS!
So why are we trying to keep each other from being successful?
I want to remind everyone of WHY we do WHAT we do – exactly what it is that makes us different.
Imagine taking the trip down to Miami for UMF. Hundreds of thousands of people are jumping to the music, hands in the air, enjoying great music in unity. WE, being Christian DJs, have the unique opportunity to have those people jumping, hands in the air, worshiping Jesus, in unity; praising Him with something totally new. Without Jesus, we are just a few more added to the thousands of random DJs on the internet begging for attention to feel relevant. What makes us different from all those guys is that they say, "Look at me!" We say, "Look at Him!". Why in the world would we ever try to separate ourselves from the chance to stand side-by-side and take that stand with our brothers?
Look, I'm not saying all this expecting that everyone merge their websites, facebook pages, record labels, and events and sing Kumbaya while holding hands, but if we're ever going to get anywhere as effective for the Kingdom of God that we hope to be, we need to come across the table, squash our beef and really get into koinonia: a real spiritual community. THAT is how we reach the lost, THAT is how we spread EDM as worship.
I said all that to say this: I love Christian Dance Music too much to see it go through all this drama. I KNOW that God has a big plan for every single DJ and producer reading this and for this community as a whole. Together, we can literally change the way that people worship God and help lead people down the path our Father has laid out for them. Enough with the trash talk and drama, we've got work to do.
I love all of you guys and I seriously want God to bless you.

CQ meets Alexis Mabille - fashion designer and Cointreau Privé Creative Director
Alexis Mabille, creative director, Cointreau Privé
Just weeks before the hottest pop-up cocktail bar in Paris closed its doors, a lovely little invite landed in my inbox; a trip to the French capital to visit the Cointreau Privé and the meet creative director and French couturier Alexis Mabille.
The first pop-up Cointreau Privé launched last year, hosted and designed by the brand's global ambassador Dita Von Teese at l'Hotel Particulier Montmartre, Paris. The concept then made its way over to London for three weeks, taking over 215 Piccadilly (read all about that and our meeting with Dita here). Earlier this year, in February, the members-only cocktail lounge could be found back in Paris, but this time in a secret location somewhere in le Triangle d'Or; Paris' super chic, super trendy part of town.
Having jumped at the chance to take a quick trip to Paris, enjoy a master class in making mind-blowing cocktails, drink said cocktails and stuff myself stupid on macaroons as big as my face, I pulled on my smartest boots and chicest coat and boarded the Eurostar.
Dita Von Teese (wearing Alexis Mabille Couture) and Alexis Mabille at the Sidaction Gala Dinner 2012
The bar had been designed by Cointreau Privé creative director Alexis Mabille; a fashion designer to keep an eye on. Speaking to him about how he had come to be involved with Cointreau, he explained that having worked at Christian Dior under John Galliano for nine years he became friends with Dita Von Teese who is now a big fan of his own designs. Dita made the introduction and when Alexis admitted to the Cointreau chiefs that he'd always dreamed of having a bar they knew they'd found the perfect match.
Pop-up cocktail bar the Cointreau Privé in Paris
Alexis was given free rein on the venue's interior design and his interpretation of 1920s style. The bar's aesthetic was chic and feminine, yet bohemian and eclectic at the same time with hand painted drapes and wallpaper, mismatched furniture and smoked mirrors adorning the walls. The bow ties Alexis Mabille has become famous for could be spotted subtly everywhere, from cocktail accessories and limited edition designed Cointreau bottles to even the dress code.
Limited edition Cointreau bottle designed by Alexis Mabille
As creative director Alexis didn't just stop at the interior design, he also curated each night's entertainment, developed a new cocktail aptly called the Cointreau Privé and obviously designed the staff uniform which as a group we decided we'd happily wear day to day outside of the bar.
When I asked Alexis how he'd found the time to create an über cool bar in between his six (yes six!) fashion shows, he simply answered: 'I don't sleep!' And I genuinely believe him. The man runs off adrenaline, creativity and support from his family and friends, some of whom I had the pleasure of also meeting that evening.
Sadly, the pop-up Cointreau Privé has now closed its doors and been dismantled, but having spoken with Cointreau's managing director, Justin Weston, he promised me it would open again soon. Where? You'll have to wait and see like the rest of us!

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Officials in Washington say they will have more than 200 plows on city streets ahead of expected snow.
Officials say the plows will be on the streets Tuesday by 8 a.m.
The head of the Department of Public Works, William O. Howland Jr., says crew applied a solution of brine and beet juice to bridges and other elevated structures on Monday to reduce the possibility of ice forming. He says that once snow starts falling crews will spread salt until enough snow accumulates to require plowing.
The National Weather Service says the city could see up to six inches of snow.

The early results are in for the holiday season, and it's been a great success. From a category perspective, here's how it breaks down broadly as a % of sales so far since we launched in early October:
Based on this early success, Jessica and I will be out @ CES 2012 on January 9th and 10th to talk with electronics retailers that are interested in expanding to a new sales channel with great traffic, brand, and proven success.
Interested in talking with us? Feel free to use the Contact Us form on the Marketplace information site.
If we don't see you out at CES 2012, feel free to check out the site for more details. You can join the marketplace directly and sell against any item in our catalog.
Talk to you soon!
As part of the recent Marketplace launch, we've recently added an enhancement for our sellers (and buyers!) which allows finer-grained control of shipping options for listings.
Previously, a seller could choose from the following four options:
There's been a lot going on in the Marketplace world recently, but I thought I would talk briefly about a change we introduced today that should help sellers be more specific about the types of refunds that they wish to give to the buyer.
In particular, in addition to choosing a full or partial refund, sellers can now specify if they want to refund item or shipping charges back to the buyer. The system will keep track of how much you've refunded to both amounts, and not allow you to exceed those numbers.
And … now that the marketplace is charging tax, we will refund the appropriate tax to the buyer automatically!
Until next time,
- Rick

This butcher block utilizes a brickwork pattern inspired by the brick buildings and brownstones of Brooklyn. An advantage of offsetting the bricks is that it is inherently a stronger joint than your typical checkerboard pattern. The cherry is characterized by its orange to fiery red heartwood and paler, more yellow sapwood.
An end grain board is better for your knives and more sanitary than your edge grain or plastic board. The wood fibers on an end grain board are facing upwards so when you cut down onto the board, you're actually cutting in between the wood fibers as opposed to cutting through the fibers like on an edge grain board. which makes a permanent cut into the wood.

New words to make the new edition of The Chambers Dictionary...
The 11th edition of The Chambers Dictionary is out, and added to the list of new words are a few bits of fashion lingo we - and almost everyone we know - actually use all the time. I mean, how often do you read about someone's unfortunate wardrobe malfunction in Grazia? And Vogue couldn't be Vogue if it didn't talk about a garment being fashion forward dahling. Does it strike anyone else as a bit weird that it's taken this long for these to be recognised?
I'm also curious as to how many more editions will go by before some of Christian Siriano's catch-phrases will be added! Do you have any suggestions for what else should be added? Serious or funny, tell us in the comments below.

Two Cardiff journalism graduates are celebrating after being recognised in the National Certificate Examination (NCE), acknowledged by editors as the industry's national standard for professional journalists.
Rob Alderson and Gemma Casey who studied the Postgraduate Diploma in Newspaper journalism at the University's Centre for Journalism picked up three awards between them.
Rob, a senior reporter at the Hastings & St Leonards Observer won two awards for his exceptional performance in the examination - the News Interview Award, sponsored by the Society of Editors, and the News Report Award, sponsored by Esso.
Speaking about the awards, Rob said: "It's all a bit surreal to win the awards. I felt the interview had gone quite well but I thought I had tied myself in knots on the news report."
The National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ), who manage the examinations said Rob's news interview story "caught all the drama" of a tragic tale. They praised him for his impressive coverage of the emotion and tragedy of the event and for using all the facts to produce "a thoroughly readable story".
In the news report exam, the examiners said Rob combined the skills of accurate reporting with an excellent news sense to produce a story that was "head and shoulders above the rest".
Another Cardiff University postgraduate, Gemma Casey, now at the Wilts & Gloucestershire Standard, received recognition for her impressive performance in the newspaper practice exam.
Gemma won the Ted Bottomley Award, sponsored by Midland News Association, and spoke of her delight when she heard the news.
"I am thrilled to win the Ted Bottomley Award, it is an amazing feeling to know that the hard work paid off. It is an honour to win an award named after a fantastic journalist like Mr Bottomley."
Paying tribute to Rob and Gemma's success, director of the Centre for Journalism at the University, Richard Tait, said: "I was delighted to see how well Robert and Gemma performed in the recent NCE – they are a credit to Cardiff and to the NCTJ and I wish them every success in their future journalistic careers."The prize for award winners is a £250 cheque and a certificate to recognise their achievement.

During a visit to Boeing's assembly facility in Everett, WA,
late last week, President Barack Obama held up the company's new
787 assembly plant in Charleston, SC, as an example of the strength
of American manufacturing.
White House Photo
The NLRB had tried to close the South Carolina plant by filing a
lawsuit against Boeing on behalf of unionized workers in Washington
"So this company is a great example of what American
manufacturing can do in a way that nobody else in the world can do
it," the President said. "And the impact of your success, as I
said, goes beyond the walls of this plant. Every Dreamliner that
rolls off the assembly line here in Everett supports thousands of
jobs in different industries all across the country. Parts of the
fuselage are manufactured in South Carolina and Kansas. Wing edges,
they come from Oklahoma. Engines assembled in Ohio. The tail fin
comes from right down the road in Frederickson. And the people in
every one of these communities, some of whom -- who are here today,
they are benefitting from the work that you do."
South Carolina is a right-to-work state, and the NLRB had argued
that Boeing chose to build what will become its second assembly
facility there in retaliation against union workers in the Pacific
northwest for labor actions which had slowed production at various
times. The board dropped the suit after a new labor agreement was
signed between Boeing and the machinists union.
All of that seems to be ancient history now for a President
running for re-election. "What's happening here in Everett can
happen in other industries," the President said. (Below L-R Boeing
plants in Everett and Charleston)

Banners in Sauk City boast it is where bald eagles soar, but a mystery illness is causing the majestic bird to die.
Experts do not know what's causing the problem along the Wisconsin River.
Visitors to Sauk Prairie try to spot a bald eagle overhead, but you can also spot the bird's image downtown ... at a dental office, hardware or liquor store and local mall.
John Keefe of the Ferry Bluff Eagle Council says, "It's one of the things that I think is just built into culture of community."
In part, because the local economy soars when Eagle Days arrive. Just ask the owner of the Eagle Inn.
Todd Baker says, "it's something we look forward to every year ... always big event for us."
The river's open water in winter draws the American symbol that Americans flock to see.
Keefe adds, "they're a marvelous beast, which is what it boils down to."
A nearby dam is one of the best sites for eagle viewing, but experts fear something in or along the Wisconsin River could be causing an illness that now bears its name.
Local veterinarian Joe Kelley says people ask him about it almost everywhere he goes. Kelley saw the first case of what is now the Wisconsin River Eagle Syndrome more than ten years ago. Experts say it causes seizures and lesions on the liver. It has killed roughly 50 eagles since first discovered.
Kelley says, "intuitively you think maybe it's contagious. It's in this area, in soil, every year the eagles come here ... pass it between each other."
But Dr. Kelley has found no evidence of that.
He says, "it'd be great if we could find the cause of it so that on an individual basis we could treat those one or two or three or four each year. Certainly if it became an outbreak we'd want to be prepared for it."
But until then, this source of pride also remains a source of concern."
Kelley says, "the eagles are at the top of the food chain. And that's where Americans see themselves, right? We can identify with them and that's what makes this so, kind of, close to our heart."
The DNR says test results from one eagle this season show it died from the illness. The agency is waiting for results on four other eagles found this year.

Why Does UpdateProgress Always Render a DIV?
Posted in Development
Here's a bit of a predicament with the Microsoft AJAX
UpdateProgress control: it always renders a
DIV is a block-level element and therefore makes things complicated if you want to display a humble rotating pizza (aka "progress indicator") inline.
The bummer is
UpdateProgress derives from
Control, which does not have any UI features and doesn't allow application of CSS. I tried to wrap the progress panel itself in a
DIV with
display: inline, but it doesn't help. Upon an AJAX callback, the progress panel receives the
display: block CSS rule which makes it visible, and
display: none upon callback completion, which renders my inlining attempt useless.
Then I tried to apply
display: inline to everything inside the progress panel with
div.progress_wrapper * { display: inline; }, but this rule is overwritten for the same reason as above.
Looks like the only thing you can do with the progress panel content is position it absolutely via
position: absolute, but then you need to decide where on the screen to put it because an absolutely positioned element is taken out of the page flow (see this discussion
of containing blocks).
I think a much wiser decision would've been to let the developer/designer decide what goes into the progress template. I may want to display a small animated image or I may want to get funky and slap a
DIV with some bling-bling. It should be my decision.
The way I see it, we have three options:
- Suck it up and let
UpdateProgresstake a whole row.
- Float
UpdateProgresswhich, inevitably, will lead to floating other elements, and that will get messy fast.
- Absolutely position it. Not too practical, unless the location is picked carefully.
Update: after I wrote this post, I realized there was an opportunity there. Stay tuned. In a day or two I'll publish an extender control which positions a progress indicator right in the middle of the browser window. It even goes over list controls in Internet Explorer 6!
UpdateProgress has become useful again. ;)

Milan, I had noticed this problem too. Your idea to create an extender would be VERY useful. I would also like to be able to put an UpdatProgress control on GridView rows in edit mode for the Update Command. Have you seen anyone do something like that?
Milan Negovan
on February 27, 2007
No, not with stock AJAX controls. We do it with Telerik ones, though. They automatically size the update panel so it covers the row.
on February 27, 2007
I have a couple of suggestions:
1. Use the UpdateProgress' DynamicLayout property. I think that if you set it, you can place inline elements inside it and they might work.
2. Since the UpdateProgress control is fairly simple, you could write your own fairly easily. You can download the source code for all of ASP.NET AJAX from here: http://ajax.asp.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=47 . Read the source license carefully, but you can see that the concept is quite straight forward.
Milan Negovan
on February 27, 2007
Eilon, with "DynamicLayout=true" the panel is hidden via "visibility: hidden", i.e. the panel will take up space even when inactive, but the content won't be shown. I don't know about having an empty white box sitting in the middle of my page. :)
As a matter of fact, I've already written an extender which attaches to any Panel control and positions it dead-center during each AJAX request/response sequence. I'll share it soon.
on February 28, 2007
You could use a control adapter to get rid of (or change) the div. I've been using them to tidy up MOSS 2007's field controls, and they work well.
on June 7, 2007
I'm having a similar issue where I have a large datagrid on the screen and if a user scrolls down and clicks on it then my progress panel is up at the top of the page and no longer visible.
I'd like to move the progress panel to where ever the user happened to click. Can this be done?
Milan Negovan
on June 7, 2007
Yes. Take a look at this: Always Centered AJAX Progress Indicator
on January 24, 2008
try surround the UpdateProgress with span, i.e.
on January 24, 2008
[lt;]span style="position:absolute;" [gt;][lt;]asp:UpdateProgress....[gt;][lt;]/span[gt;]
note: [lt;] = less than sign, [gt;] = greater than sign
on February 22, 2008
oshiko: thanks for the suggestion. Worked like a charm!
on March 27, 2009
Old thread, but why not this? It works for me.
.Progress * { display:inline !Important;}
.Progress { display:inline;}
on March 27, 2009
".Progress" being the class name of your wrapper DIV. Be sure to set DynamicLayout="false" of the progress control.
on November 17, 2010
That worked great. Thanks a lot.

Review of "Chloe"
The more steamy Chloe claims her encounters with David are, the more Catherine is turned on, forcing Catherine's sexual frustration to come to a head as she makes a mad dash to Lesbian Town with all the confidence in the world.
When Catherine resurfaces, drama ensues: Catherine and David's secrets come rushing to the surface, damaging their son Michael (Max Thieriot) in the process. Catherine tries to do right by David, while Chloe becomes more obsessed — and intertwined — in the Stewart family. All the drama leads to what can only be described as a classic lesbian breakup.
Without giving away the film's ending, Chloe provides moviegoers with a sexually charged climax (zing!) that only deepens our love and respect for Julianne Moore and Amanda Seyfried. Their on screen chemistry rivals Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct — and leaves you with a lasting memory of what it was like to be with a woman for the first time.
Chloe opens this Friday in limited theaters nationwide.

Voigtlander 17.5mm f0.95 Nokton ASPH lens
This ultra fast wide angle lens is perfect for both stills and video users. Sublime optics give super sharp results with wonderful bokeh. A really artistic lens to use.
To click or not to click...that is the question!
One of the best features of this lens is its click-less aperture system. By a quick turn of a bezel the lens can be converted from the conventional clicked aperture selector to one that is click-less. This enables the videographer to aperture pull perfectly.
7th August 2012 - Photographer Jeremy Walker review
Voigtlander 17.5mm f 0.95
The first thing you will notice about the Voigtlander 17.5mm lens is the build quality, and I mean quality. It is made from metal and feels heavy compared with other modern lenses, however I love the 'feel' of the lens. Somehow it has an old fashioned quality to it, my first thought being this is how they used to make lenses years ago, solid, dependable and beautifully engineered . The focusing ring (this is a manual focus lens) is a joy to use, smooth and flowing with out being too loose or too tight and the grip of the metal textured focussing ring is great.
Although billed as a 17.5 mm lens this is a Micro Four Thirds lens and as such becomes a 35mm f 0.95, a good medium wide angle focal length. In use the 17.5mm is very impressive in all. Distortion is non existent even with circular objects placed in the corners of the composition, there is no pulling or bending of the image and as for colour aberration , well.
This has to be the first wide angle lens where I have seen virtually no colour aberration at all, even when shooting into the light. In fact I had to go looking for colour fringing and couldn't really find any, very impressive. And so to sharpness.
Oh boy is this lens sharp. Once you have stopped down a few stops this lens is pin sharp (a super ultra sharp mega pin) from corner to corner, edge to edge. I was expecting 'OK' sharpness but what I actually got was 'wow' sharpness.
I was also very impressed with the Voigtlander's ability to close focus. Being able to focus as close as about ten centimetres certainly opens up a new way of seeing the world and distortion, even that close is minimal whilst the lens is still impressively sharp.
If you stop down a few stops this lens is truly stunning, great for landscapers and general use. If you use it wide open with its limited depth of field and soft corners it can be a great lens for street and reportage photography.

Students Collect Clothing/Blankets for Haiti
The SUNY Orange Student Senate-sponsored 10-day clothing/blanket drive to aid relief efforts in Haiti netted nearly 7,000 pounds of clothing, blankets and other essentials that were donated by students, faculty, staff and community members. All donations were passed along to the AFYA Foundation in Yonkers, N.Y., for distribution to Haiti. AFYA, which generally collects donations of medical supplies for distribution in countries around the world, has joined with countless organizations to funnel much-needed assistance to the residents of Haiti. SUNY Orange student Robert Dimmie, center in hat, who organized the clothing/blanket drive, is shown with, clockwise from his right, Brian Slevin, Laurie Raskin, Marlyn DeFreece and Corinna Stoker, who helped him pack the supplies into a van for transport to AFYA's storage facility. SUNY Orange president Dr. William Richards has pledged the College's support to assisting the long-range recovery efforts in Haiti and the College will be looking at projects that may benefit the resurgence of that country's educational system. The Student Senate continues to accept monetary donations in the College Bookstore and other student-run fundraising/donation efforts are being planned.
Letter from the President
Colleagues and friends:
SUNY Orange is committed to supporting both the immediate and long-term relief efforts to aid the earthquake victims of Haiti. The recovery, stabilization and restoration of Haiti as a nation--not to mention the revitalization of the entire Haitian population--will take years to complete. We cannot simply respond to this disaster in the short term, we must look to continued efforts that will assist Haiti and its residents in rebounding from this ordeal throughout the coming months and years.
I met recently with a small group (of College staff and faculty) to discuss the College response to the suffering in Haiti. At future meetings, students from Haiti will join us. Following is a preliminary list of the efforts as a College community that we will mount on behalf of the Haitian people.
Some of the initiatives will begin immediately and others will evolve over time as we gather more information from our students.
- The most positive effect for immediate giving should be to the texting donations programs at the Red Cross (text HAITI to 90999), UNICEF (text UNICEF to 20222) and/or The International Medical Corps (text HAITI to 85944). Also, Partners in Health (www.pih.org) has been caring for Haiti's poor for decades and has been a particularly effective organization at those locations around the world where their services are needed most.
- The SUNY Orange Student Senate and Board of Activities are making plans for fundraisers over the next few months. Proceeds will go directly to the Red Cross. (more detials will follow on this page)
- Dr. Crystal Schachter (Director of Advising and Counseling) will be heading up an effort to engage as many of our Haitian students as possible to help us decide what sorts of help in the short and long terms would be most beneficial to their families. We may conduct the same sort of Adopt A Family project as we do for local families during the holidays.
- Paul Broadie (Vice President for Student Services) and Richared Heppner (Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs) are researching the educational organizations in Haiti. We may "adopt" an elementary school or a department at the University for a couple of years, gathering for them books, supplies and whatever else is most needed.
- Lastly, the College's Board of Trustees will adopt a resolution at its February meeting that adds the Trustees' support to the relief effort and gets them involved as individuals.
Below is a reprint of a message Crystal Schachter sent to our staff and faculty not long after the initial earthquake. Our planning committee felt it should be posted here:
Many SUNY Orange students have been impacted by the recent disaster in Haiti. Some of the students may be suffering from emotional distress, and some may need their academic schedules adjusted in order to address personal emergencies. Please refer any student needing assistance to the Advising and Counseling Center. Advisors/Counselors are available to provide emotional support, connect students to additional resources, and assist with academic adjustments.
- Middletown: Shepard Student Center, 3rd Floor 845-341-4090
- Newburgh: Tower Building, 1st Floor 845-341-4502
Thank you for your support now, and in the future.
Dr. William Richards
President, SUNY Orange

Yes, glpyh of blocking is a solid choice for starting out.
Fast weapon, you get oh-so-little rage with any slow weap, especially when starting out in normal and hc instances.
That's the spec I'm thinking about switching to. So far I think it looks solid, however I am still level 70 (right now I'm specced into Imp Revenge because it's boss for soloing, gonna respec at 80).
This toon is mainly just gonna be farming heroics (more frosts = more saronites) and maybe the occasional ToC 10 or something, no hardcore progression raiding. Mainly I'm looking for the best AoE threat spec (hence 3/3 Focused Rage and 5/5 Shield Spec for more rage for cleaves, and also Glyph of Cleaving) that still has pretty good single-target threat and of course survivability.
My main question is the third glyph slot - Cleaving and Devastate seem pretty important for threat, but I'm not sure what I should use for the third one. I'm thinking Blocking for bigger Shield Slams and Damage Shield procs (the block value isn't bad for tanking heroics or adds either). I can't imagine myself needing to pop Shield Wall every 2 mins for the content I plan on tanking, so that glyph is out.
Next question - what speed weapon is preferable? Obviously once you get decently geared there is little available to you but fast weapons, but for a low level or fresh 80 tank, should I aim for fast or slow? Slow weapon gives you bigger Devastates, but fast weapon gives you more Heroic Strikes and Cleaves, so I'm not entirely sure. (I might wind up using a DPS mace to start out just to help with threat - mace because I'm a silly dorf)
Yes, glpyh of blocking is a solid choice for starting out.
Fast weapon, you get oh-so-little rage with any slow weap, especially when starting out in normal and hc instances.

text: On July 27, 1997, about 1430 eastern daylight time, a Piper PA-24-260, N9396P, coregistered to private individuals, landed short during a precautionary landing shortly after takeoff from the Mountain Air Airport, a private airstrip near Burnsville, North Carolina. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight. The airplane was substantially damaged and the commercial-rated pilot and two passengers were not injured. The right front seat passenger sustained minor injuries. The flight originated about 2 minutes earlier. The pilot stated that before takeoff he failed to check that the main cabin door was closed and latched. Shortly after takeoff his wife in the right front seat noted that the cabin door was ajar. He maneuvered the airplane to return for landing on the opposite direction used for departure. He stated that he became distracted by the perceived emergency and landed about 6 feet short on upsloping terrain. The left main landing gear separated and the airplane bounced onto the runway, veered off the left side of the runway into a 25-feet deep ravine and came to rest upright.

Milky Way and the Laser
August 4, 2007
Image of the night sky above Paranal on 21 July 2007, taken by ESO astronomer Yuri Beletsky. A wide band of stars and dust clouds, spanning more than 100 degrees on the sky, is seen. This is the Milky Way, the Galaxy we belong to. At the centre of the image, two bright objects are visible. The brightest is the planet Jupiter, while the other is the star Antares. Three of the four 8.2-m telescopes forming ESO's VLT are seen, with a laser beaming out from Yepun, Unit Telescope number 4. The laser points directly at the Galactic Centre. Also visible are three of the 1.8-m Auxiliary Telescopes used for interferometry. They show small light beams which are diodes located on the domes. The exposure time is 5 minutes and because the tracking was made on the stars, the telescopes are slightly blurred.

Ted Siefer's City Hall: City down to the wire on school budget, superintendent
The additional funds will come from the surplus that has steadily piled up in the latter months of the current fiscal year, thanks in large part to vehicle registration fees and departmental belt-tightening. According to the latest estimate from the Finance Department, the city is on track to finish the year $1.69 million in the black.
Of course, Craig's plan is not a done deal. Other aldermen have been eyeing the surplus for their own priorities. But Craig and Long's plan has the advantage that it's already been run by Gatsas. He may not support everything in it, but he won't be blind-sided when his budget is finally pulled off the table for consideration.
All the while, there's another big moving part to consider - the ongoing negotiations with the teachers union. Gatsas has said that he'd like to see any additional money for teachers come from contract concessions, in particular on their health care plans.
But Gatsas did say that he's been astonished by the changes he's seen at West since the resignation of the former principal, MaryEllen McGorry, for reasons the district has yet to disclose.
Gatsas acknowledged that he can't say the same for every school he visits.
"There have been an awful lot of schools that have great concerns. Teacher morale is down. We need to find a way to get the district to a place where everyone is working for a common cause, for the children," he said.
Meanwhile, the school board's superintendent search committee is set to have a closed-door meeting on Friday at which time it will narrow down a list of five finalists, who will then be invited to the city for interviews the following week.
"I've had talks with the search firm, and they told me they've got even better candidates than the first time," he said, referring to the three candidates who came to Manchester in March - and were sent packing.
On the topic of education, Gatsas' Democrat opponent for mayor, Ward 12 Alderman Patrick Arnold, picked up a couple of big, if unsurprising, endorsements last week.
Patrick was endorsed by the Manchester Education Association, the city teachers union, and the National Education Association-New Hampshire, the main statewide teacher union.
At their meeting Tuesday, the aldermen OK'd one of the more novel ideas to come out of City Hall in some time. Coming to downtown will be six "spare change" meters, retooled parking meters where passersby can deposit coins that will help fund programs at the New Horizons shelter and soup kitchen. The idea is to both raise money and deter panhandling.
The firm agreed to donate $260 to cover the initial costs. Craig, not so incidentally, is the husband of Alderman Joyce Craig. Credit where credit is due.
If the mayor's gig doesn't work out, Gatsas might want to consider trying out for "America's Got Talent." It seems he's been taking a star turn of late.
A couple of weeks ago, he was a judge at a dancing contest at the Moore Center, which assists special needs adults. The week before that, he stepped up to play bass in an impromptu ensemble at McLaughlin Middle School. He was a big hit with the students, and now photos of the mayor getting down are making the rounds on Facebook.
"It took longer to teach me how to play than to perform," Gatsas said. "I'm not looking to perform for the Boston Pops."
