UB Pravin Rao: Infosys' President who had foreseen that company's focus would shift back to outsourcing deals
January 9, 2014
N Shivapriya , ET Bureau
MUMBAI: Among the Infosys executives who were ever even remotely in contention for the CEO post — Mohandas Pai , V Balakrishnan, Ashok Vemuri and now BG Srinivas and UB Pravin Rao — the last is perhaps the least known. Last week, when Infosys disbanded its executive council and appointed two presidents, BG Srinivas and UB Pravin Rao, many concluded that the race to succeed D Shibulal had narrowed down to just two. Though Rao has seen very little public limelight, he is well-regarded and respected within the company, present and former Infosys executives say. Industry sources say Rao, 51, was on the ball about the changes that the company needed urgently much before Murthy came back.
Pharma to stay bullish on US recovery, more outsourcing: Dhiraj Sachdev
January 8, 2014
ET Now
In a chat with ET Now Dhiraj Sachdev, Senior VP & Fund Manager-Equities, HSBC Asset Management shares his views on pharma stocks . Excerpts: ET Now: What about pharma, because at a time when the market is somewhat struggling to even hold on to 6150, you have had the pharma index hit a lifetime high. What is it that you like out of the pharma space? Dhiraj Sachdev: What is again evident in the pharma space is that new product launches in the US generic market is fairly strong and many companies are actually entrenching bigger outsourcing of the molecules or products, whether it is Para IV or some of the Para III products or complex molecules . So you might actually see greater predictability and visibility, in terms of earnings growth from many pharma companies.

What's Brewin'?: Ode to the Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout
By Tyler Estabrook
Staff Writer
I am a firm believer in high-quality ales being available to the everyman, so if I sing the praises of a $22 four-pack, then it is because it was worth every penny.
My new favorite beer came to town in the form of Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout, a slick-looking and even slicker-tasting chocolate coffee imperial stout aged a year in oak bourbon barrels.
This ale boasts a whopping 11.2 percent alcohol by volume, practically in wine range, and yet the familiar ethanol aroma and taste is not even noticeable. On top of that, the coffee and chocolate overtones are so mellow, a mainstream beer drinker might even enjoy them, if only you could get them to try it. To the non-stout-drinker, it looks like an oil slick in a glass, but there is so much more to it than that.
Kentucky Breakfast Stout is a "winter warmer" on steroids, so much so I would still choose this beer in 90-degree weather with equal enthusiasm. It is not a whole lot like the ordinary Breakfast Stout, which is nonetheless delightful, but has more of a traditional oatmeal stout base to it, and a black coffee bite in the aftertaste. The Kentucky Breakfast Stout is a tad smoother, much more "woody," thanks to the oak-barrel aging, and has more of a chocolate bent to it.
While the Kentucky Breakfast Stout is certainly a specialty beer, it so much embodies what imperial stouts should be all about that it captured my imagination. There is a whole lot going on from the moment it hits the tongue to the moment it hits the stomach, but all these flavors, while being "active," are all very subtle and in balance. The ale has a heavy body, but it flows smooth and easy. And it paradoxically produces both warming and cooling sensations on its trip down the esophagus, both of which are equally soothing.
Founders does not produce Kentucky Breakfast Stout in large numbers, so it may be difficult to find. But for the true stout fanatic, it is worth the effort because there is nothing else out there quite like this.

The Witcher 2 Performance Rises Again For Linux Gamers
Published on 14 August 2014 01:58 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
23 Comments
Earlier this week I wrote about
The Witcher 2 Linux port being updated with performance improvements
and now just a few days later is yet another beta with the performance continuing to be optimized in order to rectify
the sour launch of Witcher 2 on Linux
With today's updated The Witcher 2 Linux beta is allowing the OpenGL worker thread to sleep when it can, optimized use of memory barriers, optimized fence handling, using ARB_texture_storage for texture uploads, and optimizations to the OpenGL state cache.
The beta notes also recommend the use of NVIDIA on Linux, which should come as little surprise to Linux gamers. "Most of these performance optimisations are best seen on nVidia hardware at the moment. Major performance improvements are expected in the near future through the work of AMD and Intel driver developer teams."
More details on this latest beta update, available via Steam on Linux, can be found via

Book Description:
Similar to The Art of War by Sun Tzu, The Book of Five Rings by Musashi Myamoto, Japan's most famous warrior and combat strategist, provides valuable lessons for anyone facing challenging circumstances—from business, war, and sports to fields of art, love, and politics.The samurai culture, created over a period of nearly seven hundred years by Japan's ruling class of warriors and epitomized in The Book of Five Rings, still influences every facet of the Japanese way of thinking and doing things. Many Japanese, consciously and unconsciously, pattern their attitudes and behavior on the thinking and behavior of Musashi, including sacrificing themselves to ideals, and continuously striving to achieve perfection.Boye Lafayette De Mente has extracted the fundamentals of Musashi's martial tactics and explains them here in a context for use in the modern world. These strategies for winning are as valid today as they were in 17th century Japan and provide valuable insights for anyone in any field to endeavor.This hardcover edition of Samurai Strategies features a new introduction by the author, and additional commentary in each chapter by renowned Japanese author and samurai expert Michihiro Matsumoto.

New Delhi: In a major ruling, the Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Kolkata-based AMRI hospital to pay a compensation of Rs 5.96 cr in a case of medical negligence in 1998.
The apex court enhanced compensation paid to NRI Dr Kunal Saha from Rs 1.73 crore to Rs 5.96 crore for the death of his wife at the age 36 in a Kolkata hospital due to maltreatment.
This is the highest compensation ever paid in the medical negligence case in India.
The three doctors, who were found guilty of medical negligence, have been directed to pay Rs 10 lakh each to Dr Kunal Saha while the rest of the money has to be paid by the management of the AMRI Hospital where Dr Anuradha Saha, herself an NRI doctor, died in May 1998.
The Kolkata-based hospital was in news when a major fire broke out there claiming 93 lives.
The hospital later grabbed headlines for delay in releasing compensation announced by the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government to the families of the victims.

It was first located at the junction of Rue St Denis and Rue aux Fers, leaned back on Saints Innocents church: there were only three sides, decorated with nymphs and naiads. At the end of 18th Century, Parisian cemeteries were emptied and relocated, including the Innocent cemetery. The fountain was relocated in 1788 to Rue des Innocents and Augustin Pajou designed a fourth side. The Innocents fountain was relocated again by a few meters in 1858 to place it in the center of a new square and a pedestal with six basins was added.

Small rant here. One of my colleagues got a phone message the other day that was actually meant for me. Fortunately, it was only my dentist's office calling and not something embarrassing like the bank calling to tell me they were going to repo my car. But here's the deal. The woman who left the message listened to my colleague's entire phone greeting, delivered in an obviously male voice, clearly stating "This is Fred Smith, Director of Web Development. ..." then left this message: "Hi Toni, this is Dr. Hawkins' office. We need to reschedule your appointment." Now where exactly was her head while the phone greeting was going on?
I've also been in meetings where someone has made a point and then three seconds later someone makes the very same point, like it was never mentioned before. Since everyone is too polite to say, "That's what she just said, space cadet!" the non-listener has no idea that he has just told a whole roomful of people that he wasn't paying attention.
Now, I will concede that it's hard to pay attention during a whole meeting. We've all composed a grocery list or mentally figured out a problem while others are talking. But if you're prone to such mental sidebars, keep your mouth closed.
I don't really think the deficit of "attention paying" is due to a general rudeness of the world's population or a shrinking global IQ. I think we can place the blame squarely on one thing: multi-tasking. Don't get me wrong. I love multi-tasking. Nothing makes me feel more productive than fielding phone calls, e-mailing, and writing all at the same time. But with all the time this saves, what am I sacrificing in quality?
If we're all running around driving while talking on the cell phone and eating carryout, shouldn't we assume that we won't be doing any one of those tasks as well as we should be?
That receptionist who called from the dentist's office probably had the phone up to her ear, while simultaneously scheduling another patient and settling someone's bill. But in the long run, aren't we sacrificing quality management for better time management?

My family was looking for a companion for our pony, and the owner offered him up. When we came to meet him, he was malnourished, emaciated, had rain rot, and worms. We couldn't leave him there, so we bit our tongues (we wanted to chew out the owners, but we just wanted to get him out of there), got him home and got him all settled in. He was fed local grass hay and he had just a few hours on pasture every day. He started noticeably gaining weight within a week. He's now up to weight, healthy, worm & lice free, and coming along very well in his training. He may be a brat sometimes, but he's my baby..

Led by a Quality Group of RBs, Mister Rodgers' Hood Is Built to Take Home The Crown
Draft Summary
Whether or not Mister Rodgers' Hood was talking trash in the draft chat room is irrelevant and you have no proof. What there is proof of, though, is a dominant draft performance by Mister Rodgers' Hood that led to a season projection of 12-2-0 (1,769 points) and a first-place finish in Welcome Levi Stadium League. They loaded up on ball carriers early, using three of their first five picks to scoop up RBs Matt Forte (first round), Giovani Bernard (third round), and Toby Gerhart (fourth round). If these guys can do what they're expected to do, Mister Rodgers' Hood will benefit. They are one of the best groups of RBs in the league.
With a draft like that, you might as well make it official. Nominate yourself for the Toyota Hall Of Fame.
Mister Rodgers' Hood should use Week 10 to consider life's great mysteries, like why is there only one word for thesaurus? That's still better time spent than checking fantasy football that week. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the entire season, they have the least difficult slate. Along with the easiest overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are about league-average difficulty for Mister Rodgers' Hood.
Draft Notes
Sky's the Limit
With four players projected to significantly beat their previous year's fantasy points, Mister Rodgers' Hood hopes to have found some up-and-coming stars.
The Sleepy Trio
Mister Rodgers' Hood selected three late-round sleepers (Justin Hunter, Kelvin Benjamin, and Andre Williams).
The Bargain Whisperer
Mister Rodgers' Hood was hunting for steals throughout the draft, snapping up a trio of bargains in the first 9 rounds (Seattle, Greg Olsen, and Cordarrelle Patterson).
Basic Math is Optional
Michael Vick once claimed "I have two weapons; my arms, my legs and my brain." With 481 projected rushing yards, Russell Wilson can channel his inner Vick to help Mister Rodgers' Hood this year.
Mr. Mendoza
Andre Williams is owned in only 6% of all Yahoo! leagues. Let's hope that a.) Mister Rodgers' Hood has some solid inside information, or b.) he's a close friend of the family.
This Mr. Irrelevant gets No Parade
In terms of projected points, the choice of Andre Williams was the weakest pick of the final round. You had one last chance and you blew it, Mister Rodgers' Hood.
Player Analysis
Does Matt Forte Enjoy Fajitas?
- Matt Forte, RB
- Round 1, Pick 3
Because his all-purpose yardage figures are sizzling. Forte is projected to rank fourth in the league with 1,702 total yards.
Possession is Nine Tenths of the Law
- Julio Jones, WR
- Round 2, Pick 18
Julio Jones is expected to be a strong possession receiver this year, and his 105 projected catches rank second in the league.
Feed Thy Beast
- Toby Gerhart, RB
- Round 4, Pick 38
Toby Gerhart will get the ball early and often, projected to finish 10th in the league with 285 touches.
Returning to Greatness
- C. Patterson, WR
- Round 6, Pick 58
If special teams contributions count in Welcome Levi Stadium League, Mister Rodgers' Hood may have found a gem in Cordarrelle Patterson. Including his 805 projected return yards, he ranks first in the league with 1,846 all-purpose yards.
A Super Duper Signal-Caller
- Tom Brady, QB
- Round 7, Pick 63
Tom Brady is projected to rack up 351 points this year, enough to rank sixth among all QBs.
Best Available
If Mister Rodgers' Hood wants to upgrade, K and TE are areas they could go after first.
- Nick Novak
- Rank 212, ADP 124
- Dan Carpenter
- Rank 223, ADP 128
- Ladarius Green
- Rank 123, ADP 129
- Heath Miller
- Rank 133, ADP 132
Bye Week Points LostPoints
Each bar represents the total projected season points for each player that's on bye that week. This chart shows any potential bye week issues.
Pick Number Minus ADPPick Number
Bars above zero indicate a pick was selected later than a player's ADP. Bars below zero show players that were taken earlier than their ADP.
Avg Points by Position vs LeagueTeam League
The average projected points for all the players at each position versus the average projected points for all players at that position in the league.
Schedule by Opponent PointsWeek
Week-by-week schedule with each opponent's projected season points. This chart shows any difficult or easy stretches in the schedule.
How We Grade
Draft grades are based strictly on teams' draft performances. This is calculated by counting the number of fantasy points teams are projected to score over the course of the season using their optimal line-ups. The grades do not take schedule into account. Because of bye weeks and other variables it is possible to earn a high grade yet be projected to finish in the middle of the pack. The opposite is also true. Bottom line: Fantasy Football is like the real game. You can draft the greatest talent in the world but you still need to manage your team every week to get the most out of that talent. As a wise man once said, "On any given Sunday..."

Which Do People Fear More? The Flu or Flu Vaccine
Yesterday was the day I had been anxiously anticipating for well over a month. I took my kids to the local senior center to get our flu shots at the county flu vaccination clinic.
While most Americans are worrying themselves sick over Ebola, I'm more concerned about the greater risk of influenza. See, I'm no stranger to the fact that thousands of people die from influenza each year. In fact, I've already read about several flu deaths being reported this season, to include a person from South Carolina and a child from North Carolina in just the past week though these deaths won't get the media attention Ebola does. And while the flu may not be widespread in my local area at this particular moment, it's just a matter of time. The flu arrives every year like a tornado on the midwestern plains. Sometimes you get a little bit of a warning, but regardless of whether you see it coming, it inevitably hits towns, schools and workplaces, hurting and even in some cases killing those who are not protected from its wrath.
Unfortunately, because I've had a child diagnosed with H1N1, met parents who have lost their children, know friends who have lost their neighbors, and have personally known a previously healthy individual who succumbed to influenza in his early 30s, I have a healthy fear of the flu (no pun intended). Yet, it never ceases to amaze me that reasonable and otherwise intelligent people continue to reject flu vaccinations because they are swayed by unfounded myths or the sting of a needle.
Yesterday I realized that while my children understand the importance of flu vaccination, many adults around them still do not.
Here are a few of the surprising things I heard in just one hour of the day: Read more…
NOVA Film "Vaccines-Calling the Shots" Opens the Door for Dialogue
After viewing the PBS NOVA film "Vaccines – Calling the Shots", I began wondering what the film's impact would be. I'll admit that the film was very ambitious. It addressed the science behind vaccines, why they work, how they work & even touched upon how people assess risk and decide whether to vaccinate or not. All this in less than an hour.
Of course, no one should expect this film to be the one defining piece that will convince people to vaccinate. Certainly it may reinforce the decision of those who already choose to vaccinate. And it may give pause to those who would otherwise refrain from vaccinating. But most importantly, this film is a valuable tool to help educate people about the science behind vaccines, inform the public about the importance of herd immunity and the dangers of not vaccinating, and open the door for civil dialogue about common vaccine safety concerns.
Looking back on the tweets I sent during the premiere, I realized that the film touched upon some of the most important immunization related issues I hear from parents day after day. My goal now is to encourage as many people as possible to see this film (available online) and to use it as a way to encourage further conversation.
Of course, the film began with the usual caveats:
In the US more than 90% of parents vaccinate & most follow the recommended schedule.
Vaccine history may repeat itself. @PaulOffit explains "If you start to decrease vaccination rates you start to see the diseases reemerge."
In order to appreciate the value of vaccines, the film began by addressing the recent resurgence of diseases like pertussis (whooping cough) and measles. It explained the infectious nature of these diseases, illustrated how epidemics are tracked and spread, and allowed viewers to see a tearful mother watching her infant child laying in a hospital bed and battling violent coughing fits brought on by an incurable disease known as pertussis. Read more…
Countdown to "Vaccines – Calling the Shots" on PBS
Another great vaccine documentary is set to air this month. That's right! Mark your calendars and set your DVRs!
Vaccines – Calling the Shots will premiere on PBS NOVA on Wednesday, September 10th. Due to anticipated coverage of President Obama's address to the nation at 9pm (EST) and 8pm (CT), the film will air immediately following coverage of the President at approximately 9:20pm (EST) and 8:20 pm (CT).
"Vaccines – Calling the Shots" is a special production which examines the science behind vaccinations and takes viewers around the world to track epidemics. The film explains why diseases, which were largely eradicated a generation ago, are returning to the United States. It also explores the risks and consequences of opting out of vaccines, and identifies parents who are wrestling with vaccine-related questions.
This brief preview provides a glimpse of what this new documentary is all about:
Help Generate Awareness About this New Documentary
Vaccine hesitancy and refusal is often rooted in the proliferation of immunization misinformation. However, educational films like "Vaccines- Calling the Shots" can help separate facts from fears. Therefore, we ask for your support and participation in getting the word out about this film. Not only will you be helping to combat misinformation, but you will help others to understand and appreciate the science behind immunizations.
Alert your friends, family and colleagues about the date and time of the upcoming premiere via social media.
Share this blog post, the 3-minute preview seen above, or the direct link to the PBS NOVA page to encourage others to discuss the value of vaccines and the science of immunization. Ask them to mark their calendars for the preview and to participate in the conversations surrounding the premiere.
Follow live tweets during the broadcast on September 10th and retweet them to your followers.
Featured experts from the film will be live tweeting. These include:
- Infectious disease expert, Dr. Paul Offit (@DrPaulOffit), leading pediatrician and chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases and Director of the Vaccine Education Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
- Alison Singer (@AlisonSinger), Co-Founder and President of the Autism Science Foundation( @AutismSciFounda), member of the national Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC), chair of the International Society for Autism Research public relations committee, and mother of a child with autism
- Writer, director, producer & co-executive producer, Sonya Pemberton (@pembertonfilms) who, as the Creative Director of Genepool Productions of Melbourne and Sydney, Australia spent four years researching and producing an Australian version and now the American version of this film
- NOVA series executive producer, Paula Apsell (@mamaNOVA)
In addition to these experts, everyone who has an interest in preventable diseases is invited to add to the commentary by live tweeting during the premier and including the hashtag #vaccinesNOVA. We would even like to encourage people to promote the preview ahead of time via Twitter with these sample Tweets:
Examine immunization, track outbreaks & learn more about vaccinations w/ #vaccinesNOVA, Wed., Sept 10 at 9:20 EST on @PBS: http://to.pbs.org/YWNjcY

Sharing Immunization Information in Everyday Conversations
This post was originally shared on the MOMunizations blog in honor of National Immunization Awareness Month. Throughout the month of August immunization advocates have been highlighting the value of vaccines across the lifespan. This post was intended to encourage everyone to do the same.
As a parent who keeps up with the latest immunization news, I feel obligated to share information about vaccines and infectious diseases. My efforts are not just limited to my contributions on the Shot of Prevention blog, but rather expand to include everyday encounters I have with friends and family.
Of course, no one wants to be that person who only talks about one thing, even if it's something as important as vaccines. But as a parent to five children, I have plenty of opportunities to discuss immunizations in ways that are entirely appropriate to my conversations with other parents.
And in honor of National Immunization Awareness Month, I challenge you to do the same.
Don't be hesitant to talk about vaccines. In fact, consider it a necessity. You're not reluctant to tell others about the doctor you love or the delicious restaurant you found. Why not be as generous with the information you have about vaccines?
Even if people aren't well versed on the subject of vaccines, they still want to know how to protect themselves and their loves ones from dangerous illnesses. We must remember that the overwhelming majority of people vaccinate. They do not need to be convinced that vaccines are safe and effective. However, they do sometimes need to be reminded.
By suggesting vaccine recommendations in your casual conversations, you can help give people the information they need to make informed decisions. Why not tell them about the measles and pertussis outbreaks in their communities or explain the risk of rising exemption rates in your local schools? There are so many ways to introduce the topic in your everyday conversations. Consider these personal experiences of mine: Read more…
Should I Take My Three-Week Old to the Family Reunion?
Today Dr. Lara Zibners addresses a concern that was raised on our Vaccinate Your Baby Facebook page which addresses the difficult task parents face in protecting their newborn babies from vaccine preventable diseases before they are old enough to be vaccinated themselves. If you have a vaccine related concern that you would like to provide for discussion, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or send us a message on our Facebook page.
I have a 3 week old son and I plan on vaccinating him appropriately. However my family is having a reunion next week and I want to go. I have been very strict about only having vaccinated visitors. Is it ok to go to this reunion when I can't check to see if every person is vaccinated? There will be 20-40 people there. Also, my brother-in-law doesn't vaccinate his kids and I haven't let them or their kids meet my baby yet. Am I being crazy or should I stick to this? I just want to do what's best for my baby.
Wow! You plan on getting out of the house with a 3-week old? That's ambitious. I'm impressed. I'm also incredibly impressed with your concern about exposing your new little one to vaccine preventable illnesses. Not to mention how delicate and difficult the topic is when friends and family willingly don't vaccinate and risk the health of their children and yours. It's awkward, as I've already said.
But moving on from that, I think we need to have a real conversation about what vaccines can and can't do. I am blatantly pro-immunization. I, along with the overwhelming majority of physicians and scientists, believe that vaccines truly are the greatest medical innovation of all time. They have saved more lives than any other medical advancement in history. Vaccines work, they are safe, and they save lives.
But let's be honest. Vaccines don't provide 100% immunity to every single individual vaccinated. That is why herd immunity is so very, very important. Read more…
Protecting Your Baby From Disease Begins in Pregnancy
Some may call me a bad mother because I can't remember if my back labor was with the first or second child, or if my varicose veins sprung up with my third or fourth pregnancy, or exactly what time it was when my fifth child graced this earth. But one thing I will never forget is how much time and effort I put into researching labor and delivery with my first pregnancy.
Looking back, I felt confident that I was doing everything to ensure the best possible health of my child. I ate good foods, avoided caffeine, took my vitamins, and even wrote a birth plan that expressed my desire to have a natural and un-medicated labor. Despite all the precautionary steps I took, I knew that something unexpected may occur. There could be some kind of birth complications. The baby could be in a breech position, have the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck, or be born with a birth defect. I knew the risks because I did my research, but I also did everything within my power to help ensure the health of our child.
The same goes for those first few weeks and months after our baby was born. Despite the precautions we took to keep each of our babies healthy, by limiting time outside of the home, washing hands, breastfeeding as long as possible and keeping sick siblings and family members away, there were never any guarantees. The fact remains that it can be extremely difficult to isolate our babies from infectious diseases that may be circulating in our communities, which is why my husband and I chose to immunization our children according to the recommended schedule.
What some parents don't realize is that the childhood immunization schedule is designed to protect children from diseases at the times when they are most vulnerable. For instance, by administering the Hepatitis B vaccine at birth, we can actually reverse the effects of the virus if it was unknowingly passed from a pregnant mother to her child.
But there are two dangerous diseases that we can begin protecting babies against while they are still in the womb.
Influenza and pertussis.
In this first week of National Immunization Awareness Month – a week designated to babies and pregnant woman – it's important to highlight that pregnant woman are advised to receive a Tdap booster vaccine with each pregnancy, as well as an annual influenza vaccine.
Asking Before They Play: How to Handle the Response
In the first part of this series, Ask Before They Play to Keep Chickenpox, Pertussis and Measles Away, Dr. Zibners explores why a parent might be concerned if their vaccinated child has unvaccinated playmates. In the second part, Are Your Child's Friends Vaccinated, she provides tips on how to pose the question to others. In this final post she offers suggestions on how to respond when the answer isn't exactly what you were hoping for.
Part Three: Handling the Response
By Dr. Lara Zibners
In parts one and two of this series, I've been equating a conversation about firearms in the home to one about immunization. Both can be awkward but both are very, very necessary. But suppose the answer isn't the one you were hoping for.
You take a deep breath and spit it out: "Do you keep a loaded gun in the house?" If the answer is yes, there's another conversation to be had: "Where are they kept? Are they secure? Where is the ammunition? I meant a revolver, not your staple gun!"
In the same way, you may want to open the conversational door about vaccines. What if the answer is
"Oh, no, we don't vaccinate"
Do you panic? Jump to conclusions? Grab your child and run screaming?
No. Obviously not. My kids are numerous (3) and heavy (nearly 90 pounds combined). I can't run anywhere. But besides that, it's best not to start the conversation by assuming that every unvaccinated child has parents who are unwilling to vaccinate. If you find out that your child's best friend hasn't had his MMR vaccine, don't turn away just yet. Take a deep breath and ask one simple question: Read more…

HLV Chapter One, Mission #1: Let the Lanterns Fly Concentration was vital.TheUnitCircle
Life or death,Taiki thought, attempting to gather any and all focus at the wooden blocks- stacked like a tower, about seven feet in front of him. He reached into the little sack by his crossed legs and pulled out a small marble sphere, rolling it around his hand. He searched the 'tower', looking for any weak points. Zoning in on what he thought was the perfect spot, he raised his marble, ready to fire, when-
"TAIKI, WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY ARE YOU DOING?!" The shock, in reaction to the shriek, caused the ball to fly way of course and hit one of his mother's favored ceramic vases. A family heirloom.
Taiki's life flashed before his eyes as he watched the green vase making it
[TG] No Good Deed"...Please don't die, Akihiko. We need you for this to work, and... It would make this time... and last time... a big waste."lautte
Today hadn't started out as a normal day.
A clatter echoed through the air, the senbon falling to meet cold, hard ground. He watched as the needles, in all its faux innocence, lay brilliant and shining as his own body landed with a low thud, bloody and beaten. Much effort had been taken to angle his uninjured side towards the dirt; he'd used his good arm to lessen the impact, and Kei'd almost blacked out from the exertion. It would have been so much easier to just fall flat on his face, but the medic knew better. This will help him later.
No use preventing infection in a Priority 0 Casualty - victim as good as dead.
Squashing that snide little voice whispering in his head, Kei instead focused on the shouting. He might as well; there was so much of it. Mugon. Akihiko. Hajime. Were they calling for help?
Left. He attempted to twitch

Peter Rutland: The Dynamic Side of the Leonid Brezhnev Era
Peter Rutland is a professor of government at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut.
With Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's impending return to the presidency, he is set to rule Russia for even longer than General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev, in power from 1964 to 1982. There is increasing talk of a Communist-type restoration. But what do we really know about the Soviet Union of the Brezhnev years? This topic has received scant scholarly attention in the West. The period is too distant to be worthy of study by political scientists, and yet recent enough that it is only now attracting the attention of historians.
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachevcleverly branded the Brezhnev period as the era of "stagnation" in contrast to what he saw as his own dynamic and visionary leadership. This label struck a chord in the West, used to seeing a parade of geriatric leaders atop Lenin's tomb. But it is a mistake to take Brezhnev's infirmity as symbolic of the entire Soviet Union any more than we should see Queen Elizabeth II — on the throne since 1953 — as signaling lack of change in Britain. Just as the social and economic development of the late tsarist era sowed the seeds of the Bolshevik Revolution, so the forces that tore apart the Soviet Union in the late 1980s had their roots in the Brezhnev era.
Several weeks ago, 20 scholars gathered at Wesleyan University to present their ongoing research on the late Soviet Union. Their work reveals a Soviet Union that was dynamic and even innovative, with deep and widening regional and social differentiation. Clearly, the way the system worked in practice diverged from the official account of how society functioned. The scholars at the workshop drew on a wealth of new sources — from interviews with surviving participants to recently released archival materials...

I'm trying to go for a 2D game like Legend of Mana and Star Ocean Second Story rather than tile based 2D games.
Currently, the way I'm going about building my game is like so:
I have geometry files and texture files. Geometry files store width, height, XY position, Texture ID number to use and texture name to use.
The way I'm trying to do is:
I will have a scene manager object that loads "scene" objects. Each scene object stores a list of all geometry objects in that scene as well as texture and sound objects (to be implemented).
Each scene is rendered using vertex array whereby the scene manager object would call a method like get scene vertices by scene name which returns a pointer to an array of GLFloats (GLfloat *) and this pointer to GLfloat gets used in OpenGL's glVertexPointer() function.
When I want to update each character's position (like the hero for example), my aim is to use the "hero" game objects in the current scene and call a function like:
Hero.Move(newXPosition, newYPosition);
which will actually alter the hero geometry object's vertex data. So it will do something like:
for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
vertexList[i] = vertexList[i] + newXPosition;
vertexList[i+1] = vertexList[i+1] + newYPosition;
This way, when I go to render the scene in the render frame, it will render the entire scene again with the updated vertex coordinates.
Each object in the game will just be a quadrilateral with a texture mapped to it.
I'm using Objective C for my programming and OpenGL. This is for iOS platform.
I have been successful thus far using this method to render 1 object.
The problem I have is I'm using a NSMutableDictionary which is a data structure that uses key-value pair to store geometry instance objects in the scene object class. Dictionaries in Objective C doesn't retrieve data in the same order every time the code is run. It retrieves then in random order.
Becausing of this, I am having trouble combining all the vertex array data from each geometry object in the scene object and passing out 1 single vertex pointer to GLfloats.
Each geometry object stores it's own array of 8 vertex values (4 pairs of X,Y coordinate value). I would like each geometry object to manage it's own vertices (so I can use Move, Rotate like mentioned earlier) and at the same time, I would like my scene object to be able to output a single pointer reference to all vertices data of all geometry objects in the current scene for using in OpenGL's glVertexArray() function.
I am trying to avoid calling OpenGL's glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4) multiple times. Like draw hero, draw map, draw AI agents, draw BG objects. That would not be very efficient. Minimizing the amount of GL draw calls as much as possible (to 1 draw call preferably), especially on limited hardware like the iPhone is what was suggested when I was reading about OpenGL game development.
What is the best practice way of going about doing what I'm trying to do?
Should I use a SQL database to store my game data like geometry vertices data and load JUST 1 scene into iPhone memory from the sql database file on iPhone's disk?

During the 1950s, musical masterpieces that have yet to be equaled were produced in Cinemascope with stereophonic sound. These two episodes explore how the post-war years were alive with bold experimentation in musical film. Later in the decade, Rock & Roll became the musical choice of the younger generation and movie musicals followed suit. Highlights of this 2-part program include: Films based on smash Broadway musicals become the rage. A pretty starlet with no musical training named Marilyn Monroe takes the country by storm in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." With favorites from the previous decade continue to delight audiences: Rock & Roll films, songs and musical numbers.

Laborers in California's dusty vegetable fields, they hustle work when they can, living a hand-to-mouth existence. For George and Lennie have a plan: to own an acre… (more)
