Rates rise at weekly US Treasury bill auction
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Interest rates on short-term Treasury bills rose in Monday's auction with rates on six-month bills climbing to their highest level in more than two years.
The Treasury Department auctioned $24 billion in three-month bills at a discount rate of 0.055 percent, up from 0.035 percent last week. Another $24 billion in six-month bills was auctioned at a discount rate of 0.155 percent, up from 0.110 percent last week.
The three-month rate was the highest since three-month bills averaged 0.095 percent on Feb. 10. The six-month rate was the highest since six-month bills averaged 0.160 percent on Oct. 29, 2012.
The discount rates reflect that the bills sell for less than face value. For a $10,000 bill, the three-month price was $9,998.63, while a six-month bill sold for $9,992.21. That would equal an annualized rate of 0.056 percent for the three-month bills and 0.157 percent for the six-month bills.
Separately, the Federal Reserve said Monday that the average yield for one-year Treasury bills, a popular index for making changes in adjustable rate mortgages, rose to 0.23 percent last week from 0.20 percent the previous week.

Might and Magic: Darkside of Xeen (DOS)

DescriptionFollowing the trail of Prince Roland, six brave adventurers venture into the Darkside, the other side of the world Xeen. There, a mysterious person who calls himself Lord Alamar has defeated the local queen and usurped her throne. Allies of the Dragon Pharaoh, the Guardian of Darkside, have either joined Alamar or perished in their resistance. The Guardian bestows his powers upon the adventurers, who must liberate Xeen and eventually help the space traveler Corak to finally destroy the corrupt Guardian Sheltem for good.
Darkside of Xeen is the fifth installment of the Might and Magic, a direct sequel to Clouds of Xeen, and a completion of the overarching story arc that started in the first game. The game uses the same engine and interface as Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra, and is nearly identical to its immediate predecessor gameplay-wise. Compared to earlier games, it has a darker and somewhat more bizarre setting, and dungeon exploration involves more puzzle-solving. It is also more plot-focused and has a larger number of cutscenes.
All over the game's world there are pyramids which work as teleporters as soon as part five of the series, Darkside of Xeen is installed. The two games can be played simultaneously, merging into World of Xeen, which includes multiple cross-over quests in both installments.

Soaring ointment prices are a dermatologic mystery
The New York Times, August 10, 2012
Other than pharmacy benefit managers, which manage prescription drug plans, few other players in the health care market make decisions based on cost. When doctors write a prescription, they often fail to consider the price of the drug. And since many patients have prescription drug coverage, they also often ignore the cost. The situation can create a lucrative opening for some companies, especially in a low-profile corner of the industry like dermatology, where price increases might not attract broader notice.

Oakland Loses Another Firefighter
Oakland loses another firefighter
Henry K. Lee, Chronicle Staff Writer
Wednesday, January 24, 2007
01-24) 14:39 PST OAKLAND -- The Oakland Fire Department is mourning one of their own for the second time in less than a week.
On Tuesday evening, recently retired Battalion Chief Angelo Primas, 54, died at his Oakland home.
On Saturday, Lt. Kevin Reed, 47, collapsed and died while working out at a downtown Oakland gym.
The two deaths have saddened the close-knit, 500-member department, which also buried Walt Nielsen, a retired assistant chief, the same day Reed died, Capt. Melinda Drayton said today.
"It's been absolutely devastating," said Drayton, a department spokeswoman. It's just back to back to back."
It has been especially difficult for firefighters at Station 8 on 51st Street near Telegraph Avenue in North Oakland, where Reed, a 16-year veteran, had worked and where Primas had spent much of his 23-year career.
At about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oakland firefighters were called to Primas' home on Elysian Fields Drive in Oakland by his wife, Pamela, who couldn't wake him from a nap, Drayton said.
Firefighters and paramedics couldn't resuscitate Primas, who retired from the department in March 2006.
Primas most recently worked at the fire station at 16th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way but rose through the ranks at Station 8. He had served as a fire academy director with the department's training division and has a brother, a nephew and two cousins in the department.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
"He dedicated himself to Oakland and his family was very important to him," Oakland Fire Chief Daniel Farrell said of Primas in a statement.
At about 9 a.m. Saturday, Reed was riding an exercise bike at Club One Fitness at Oakland's City Center when he collapsed, authorities said. Gym staff called 911 and used an automated external defibrillator to try to revive him.
Reed served as a referee at high-school football games and was active on the department's softball team. "His sense of humor was infectious, and his caring gregarious nature made him an extremely likable member of the Oakland Fire Department," the agency said in a statement.
Reed had finished a three-day shift hours before he died and had responded to a fire on the 5100 block of West Street the night before, Drayton said. The cause of his death hasn't been established. He had complained of back and chest pains before he collapsed, Drayton said.
Reed leaves behind his wife and daughter, who live in El Cerrito. Reed's cousin, Jim Whitty, works at Station 8.
A memorial service for Reed will be held at 11 a.m. Friday at St. Joseph the Worker Parish, 1640 Addison St., Berkeley.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Oakland Fire Department and the families and friends of their fallen brothers.
Rest in peace Lt. Reed and Chief Primas.

Huge losses for our department.....both from the same station, two different shifts...the men are taking it hard.
Lt Kevin Reed was an extremely well liked member of the Department, and active Union officer
BC Primus had been retired less than a year....and also highly repected
Keep them and the OFD in your thoughts please.

Tough times here in Oakland. As all the members of this board understand tragedy and gallantry tend to go hand in hand. These men were fine examples of firemen and family men as well.
they will be missed. Thank you all for your well wishes.
Please be careful out there and get home safe
With Gratitude and respect thank you

Like Disgea or FF Tactics?
And no, Wakfu doesn't count, you don't command an entire squad/army.
Jesus the Friend
I used to play Heroes 3... but that's probably not what you're looking for, also it's dead now.
I would be interested in an answer to your question too.
Online only,
There's Magic the Gathering Tactics, but it's buggy, and simplistic.
And there's Poxnora, but it's really super grindy.
Offline (with optional multiplayer),
There's Battle for Wesnoth, a cross between a Tactics game and risk.
And there's Age of Wonders; one of the best games I've playe, and a cross between a Tactics game and Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
Shattered Galaxies(Free to play with some paid alternatives that dont matter much, just speeds things up)
Not sure if its still around or how its doing, it is basically like PVP based mmo.
You control a squad of units(like battleships, ground infantry, etc) and they all level up as you win. There are plentys for level ranges, there are very few pve maps. Most of it is two seperate factions warring on each other. There is a large map that changes color based on who is controlling an area, and the war constantly goes back and forth.
Elected people are the commanders and they issues orders, whether people follow are up to them... but everyone controls one squad at a time. There are HUNDREDS of unit types and you can mix and match them.
You can even deploy very slow moving nuke trucks, which can be devastating if played right.(Most newbs will almost always miss)
Its pretty fun, its like an RTS Starcraft but you can only deploy one of squad of 6 to 11 at a time(depending on your character build) and everyone deploys on maps leading to MASSIVE rts fights.
The interface felt really old though, I couldn't bring myself to keep playing :/
Someone could make a lot of money making an massive multiplayer version of Disgea/Tactics/La Puccela
Need something good....

Symphony Teleca Corporation, the services organization dedicated exclusively to helping clients manage the global convergence of software, the cloud and connected devices today announced a strategic software development partnership with Yota Devices for its new YotaPhone, the first phone to integrate a full-color liquid crystal display (LCD) on one side with an electronic paper display (EPD) on the other side. Through this partnership, Symphony Teleca will provide Android platform expertise to improve power management and to optimize and enhance the overall product software architecture, especially for EPD technology integration.
The two displays, which have different functions and different purposes, are linked together to open a new world of unlimited user experiences. Users will be able to read long news articles and social networking updates and display photos, stock quotes, and boarding passes on the EPD without draining the phone's battery or having to constantly "wake up" their smartphones. Images on the EPD can be displayed even if the battery is empty.
"YotaPhone will change the way users interact and manage information with their phones, and we need a partner who truly understands the complexities of mobile software development," said Vlad Martynov, CEO, Yota Devices. "YotaPhone presents a number of new engineering challenges specific to multi-screen operation and optimization, including power management. After an extensive analysis, we determined that Symphony Teleca is the best software development partner based on its global leadership in Android and ability to ideate and execute quickly and inventively."
"Today if you want to check your email, calendar or social media page, you have to pick up your smartphone, turn it on, open the application and only then can you receive the information. With YotaPhone, this information will appear on the EPD effortlessly, continuously and updated in real time," said Martynov, in a prior statement.
"We are seeing a world of innovative connected experiences come to market across a number of industries today including retail, automotive, healthcare and telecom, and this is an outstanding example of ingenuity being applied to a very exciting and competitive smartphone space," said Sanjay Dhawan, President and CEO, Symphony Teleca. "We are very proud to have been selected as Yota's product development partner for this groundbreaking smartphone and we look forward to a long and successful partnership."

In high-production environments where release cycles are measured in hours or minutes — not days or weeks — there's little room for mistakes and no room for confusion. Everyone has to understand what's happening, in real time, and have the means to do whatever is necessary to keep applications up and running optimally. DevOps is a high-stakes world, but done well, it delivers the agility and performance to significantly impact business competitiveness.

See All Stories In
Some years ago, I was asked by the Guardian newspaper (UK) to comment on the revelation that the novelist Hammond Innes had bequeathed his valuable Kensington house to the actor Celie Imrie. Although this bequest amounted to only 10% of Innes's estimated fortune, it was, by any measure, a generous one. According to Imrie, the generosity stemmed from "just" friendship - that is, not one that included sex.
"Yeah, right," was the common response. We live in a cynical world: there's no such thing as a free lunch, no one gives something for nothing and wealth is never exchanged outside the bonds of blood or sex. Cynicism makes us feel wise, but in fact it often makes us stupid. Friendships between women and men are often passionate, and they are rarely simple. Like all human attachments, they involve a range of emotions. It is the quick shifts of feeling that make them so interesting - and a wonderful subject for romantic comedy. And that question, "Can a woman and man be close friends without sex coming into it?" remains unanswered.
It's difficult to approach this question today without referring to that astoundingly clever 1989 film When Harry Met Sally, which has a few scenes and themes that cling tenaciously to our culture. But a vivid story is very different from an illuminating one. Harry and Sally are great friends. They can talk about just anything, and see the world anew as they speak. They are one another's "date" when they have no real date. And although they are just substituting - at weddings and New Year's - for "the real thing," they have as much fun as they would with a romantic partner. Then sex (inevitably?) enters the friendship and there are two possible resolutions: separation or marriage.
It's a pity, really, because life offers so many more possibilities. There is a distinctive flavour to male and female friendships. Women enthuse about their supportive and irreverent conversations with other women, but they positively glow when they speak about friendships with men. Men are known to have strong friendships with other men, but these rarely involve the play of conversation that their friendships with women do. Instead, they play competitive games and "discuss issues" with their male friends. Friendship with a woman can offer a great release. With women, they can reveal their vulnerabilities and explore their own and others' inner lives. Man/woman friendship can be so intimate that some men say that when they learn their partner has had an affair, they are far more jealous of the talking that has gone on than of the sex.
In the close encounters between friends, there are often flare-ups of sexual interest and sexual appreciation. But this is very different from having sex. It may be a revelation of possibility - of what might have happened under different circumstances. It may offer reassurance that we can still be attractive or "sexy." With a friend, we can signal our need for such reassurance without burdening anyone with the extreme complications of an affair.
Friends meet the deep need for support systems beyond those of our family. In certain circumstances, these attachments can be equal to any bond. Celia Imrie describes Hammond Innes as her mentor, one who encouraged her to develop her thoughts and skills. After all, this friendship developed when Innes was in his 70s and 80s, when the urge to participate in rising generations is strong, and its satisfaction overwhelming. But, like all good friendships, this one was reciprocal. When Innes's wife died, Imrie provided what comfort she could - in the form of company and conversation.
Friendship, especially between a woman and a man, is one of those relationships that has no well-defined script: each friendship has to define its own rituals and routines, its own cache of meanings, and its own symbols of exchange. As a result, people outside the friendship read their own meanings into it. But while friends themselves tend to be subtle and creative in building the relationship, outsiders' guesswork tends to be pretty crude. That's another reason why qualitative research is so important to psychology. The stories of real people challenge the emptiness of general questions about men and women.

- Nice touch. Review by The Entertainer
This was the "prize" for the best girl's luau costume at our kids' luau party (Luau queen?). The winner was "crowned" with it. She was 9 years old and felt pretty special. There's a little switch to put the L.E.D. lights on and off. Made a good door prize for this occasion.

I Want Those Shoes!by Paola Jacobbi
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Shoes possess magical properties," writes Italian journalist and shoe fanatic Paola Jacobbi. The allure of shoes is so powerful that they have become her fashion obsession, one she shares with millions of women, from Imelda Marcos to Sarah Jessica Parker to Joan Crawford. andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt; Here Jacobbi indulges that obsession by embarking on a witty and highly opinionated journey through the styles and cultural significance of women's footwear and our attachment to it. Jacobbi pontificates (sandals are the bikini of footwear); psychoanalyzes (the relationship between shoes and sex); has fiery beliefs (ankle boots are quite simply a no-no); and speculates (there's a little Imelda in all of us). She also offers plenty of sage advice: how to choose the right heel for your physique, how to keep shoes lasting long, why to avoid mules at all costs, and how to judge a man by his footwear. andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt; Charming, sassy, and irresistible, andlt;iandgt;I Want Those Shoes!andlt;/iandgt; will be a perfect fit for every woman who has ever coveted, rearranged her closet to accommodate, or maxed out her credit card for one more absolutely-gotta-have-it pair of shoes.
"In this collection of brief essays, journalist Jacobbi misses by at least two seasons the 'One can never have too many shoes!' era roughly bracketed by Imelda Marcos on one end and the finale of television's Sex in the City on the other. Passing up the opportunity to examine that phenomenon, or to document the history of women's footwear, Jacobi instead focuses on familiar observations and glib, sitcom-ready aphorisms: 'In the end that's what shoes are: our best friends.' Jacobbi considers a dozen types of women's shoes with writing that's not only shallow and uninformative, but strange and occasionally indecipherable: 'Usually the collector of ankle boots looks down on the "shoe" shoe, the "skirt" skirt and the woman who dresses too much like a woman.' Those who spent the last 15 years barefoot will be interested to find out that 'music, in particular hip-hop culture, has launched and continues to launch ever newer and hipper models of athletic shoes'; similarly, long-divorced Nicole Kidman is reported, more than once, to be happier in heels than she was in her marriage to diminutive first husband Tom Cruise. Even Jacobbi's rules for 'Happy Feet' are antiquities; aside from Sujean Rim's lovely illustrations, footwearphiles will find most of this shoe-gazing material old hat." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Jacobbis work is a sophisticated, witty, and informative tribute to womens shoes--their history, their cultural and psychological significance, and their unabashed femininity.

John Steinbeck wrote 17 novels. Many received international acclaim but none more than his 1939 "The Grapes of Wrath," a soul-shattering tale of an Oklahoma farm family who made their reluctant way west, fleeing the wind-torn and scorched plains of home, surviving a dignity-killing trial of want and loss, to arrive in the inhuman farm fields of California.
The book received the 1940 Pulitzer Prize for literature, though it was banned in the very county where its protagonists found themselves on the last page. It was also part of the jury's decision-making in awarding Steinbeck the 1962 Nobel Prize for literature. The book's annual sales now number around 150,000, though the publisher has done the math on the book's cumulative sales and, since 1939, it has sold 8.3 million copies.
At the turn of the century, "The Grapes of Wrath" was on Book magazine's list of 50 best-selling books, at No. 11. It is regularly placed on lists of books that changed America. Numerous lists place it as one of the premier works of the 20th century.
To mark the book's 75th anniversary, three new versions – a hardcover, a limited leather-bound, and a Penguin Classics paperback – were published last week.
"The Grapes of Wrath," by John Steinbeck, Viking hardcover 75th anniversary edition, $30
"The Grapes of Wrath," paperback edition, Penguin Classics, $10
"Working Days, The Journals of The Grapes of Wrath," by John Steinbeck, Viking Press, $12
"On Reading 'The Grapes of Wrath,'" by Susan Shillinglaw, Penguin Books, $14.
"John Steinbeck: 'The Grapes of Wrath' and Other Writings 1936-1941: 'The Grapes of Wrath,' 'The Harvest Gypsies,' 'The Long Valley,' 'The Log from the Sea of Cortez,'" Library of America, $16.
The National Steinbeck Center in Salinas will celebrate the 75th anniversary of publication of "The Grapes of Wrath" by convening a national dialogue, which the curators say will "seek out the experiences of individual Americans today and bring them into the light."
May 2-4, the Steinbeck Festival will feature three speakers, 10 Steinbeck Country tours, two major events, nine authors, artists and musicians. On Saturday night, 6-8 p.m., a gala complete with 1930s music and cocktails will include the unveiling of works inspired by the novel.
For a complete list of the weekend's activities or to purchase advance tickets, go to steinbeck.org.
The National Steinbeck Center has also developed several educational programs designed for use by librarians, teachers, book clubs and community groups. They are also available at steinbeck.org.
Although many of our neighbors had lived through hard times indeed, and John Steinbeck's novel rekindled misery for some, mostly the old folks didn't talk to us about the bad old days; they kept those memories muted. By the mid-1940s, on long summer evenings, our Oildale neighbors might sit on porches and chat, perhaps play guitars or fiddles, and evoke their old homes with songs traditional (like "Red River Valley") or new (like "Dear Okie"). A boy my age named Merle Haggard, who could imitate Lefty Frizzell, was the envy of us all.
One afternoon about then my father and I stopped at the market in Edison to pick up groceries. A few men with bedrolls squatted near the door of the store. One stood and approached my father. They spoke briefly, then my dad entered the building. Pop emerged a few minutes later with two bags of groceries, one of which he handed to the man with whom he'd spoken. They shook hands. When I asked my father who those guys were, he said simply, "Working men out of work."
In fact, work was sacred to his generation. About then, too, I took notice of a small camp on one bank of the Kern River – tents and cars and shacks built of cardboard and plywood – and I remembered that a couple of my classmates who attended school barefoot were said to live there. My father, an oil worker from Texas, called the area "Hooverville."
What has come to be called "the Dust Bowl migration" lasted well into the 1940s and encompassed far more than the Dust Bowl. By then "the War" had heated up California's economy and most migrants eventually found jobs. By then, too, I had entered junior high and like most of my pals had begun seasonal farm labor.
A couple of years later I saw the movie "The Grapes of Wrath," then heard from a classmate there was a dirty book based on the film.
I immediately tried to check a copy out of the local library, but was refused access. I finally coughed up 25 cents and bought a paperback version.
The story stunned me because I recognized the characters; they were our neighbors ... from Arkansas, from Missouri, from Oklahoma, from Texas – the lucky ones with oilfield jobs or the unlucky ones surviving on seasonal farm labor. I had no idea they had endured such poverty.
Although the truth of Steinbeck's novel gave me my first nudge toward becoming a writer, I was struck that he didn't mention the social/racial segregation we took for granted in the Bakersfield area then, or even all the non-white Depression migrants such as the black jocks against whom I competed in high school, many of them also "Texies," "Arkies," and "Okies."
I also quickly learned that many local folks believed that "The Grapes of Wrath" was an insult to both Oklahoma and Kern County; it was disdained mostly by people who hadn't bothered to read it. Somehow I assumed the novel was about justice and about our obligations to one another as fellow human beings, not about Kern's agricultural economics or Dust Bowl history. The story I sensed seemed false to some, and even today resentment smolders.
Yet when I read "The Grapes of Wrath" as a kid, when the very word "breast" could cause me to hyperventilate, Rose of Sharon offering hers to a starving stranger in the novel's climatic scene wasn't sexual to me. I thought the Joads – even the ones in Oildale – were at last embracing their obligation as part of the human family, and I thought, as my father once said, that Steinbeck had "nailed it."
Gerald Haslam is a writer who was born in Bakersfield two years before "The Grapes of Wrath" was published. He wrote "Okies: Selected Stories" in 1973, "The Other California: The Great Central Valley in Life and Letters" in 1990, "Coming of Age in California" in 1993, "Working Man Blues: Country Music in California" in 1999, among a raft of other fiction and nonfiction books, anthologies, newspaper and magazine articles. He is a member of Friends of Steinbeck, a professional organization, and lives with his wife in Sonoma County.

Flights to Clarksburg
Milwaukee's Primary Airport
If you start looking for flights from Milwaukee, the odds are good that you will fly from General Mitchell International Airport, because the other airports nearby only handle private flights. Orbitz.com has some of the best deals available on flights, since the site searches through thousands of listings based on your search criteria. General Mitchell International Airport is just five miles from the city's business district, making it a short drive from most areas in Milwaukee. Though the airport only offers international flights to Canada, carriers like Delta Connection and Southwest Airlines handle domestic flights.
Your Best Transportation Options
Those who do not want to pay for parking at the airport can use the Milwaukee County Transit System. It only costs a few dollars to ride, and you can ride the bus from dozens of stops in the city. The airport has its own shuttle system that picks up travelers from the stop near the front of the airport to transport them to the terminal.
Aiport Parking Options
With three major parking areas, the General Mitchell International Airport makes it easy to park your car. One garage has six floors with space for rental cars, hourly parking, and daily parking. The other two parking lots are only open for hourly parking. The cost ranges from $2 per hour to $12 per hour for the daily lots. If you park in one of the hourly lots, you will pay $22 for 24 hours of parking.
Restaurants for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
Restaurants at the airport make it easy to grab a quick snack, a cup of coffee, or an entire meal before your flight. Alterra Coffee, French Meadow Bakery and Cafe, and Johnny Rockets are just a few of your options. When you need an air ticket, you can get a great price from Orbitz.com. With so many flights from Milwaukee departing every day, you can find one at the right price.
Flying into Clarksburg
A great way to find cheap flights to Clarksburg, West Virginia is to use Orbitz.com. The main airport serving Clarksburg is North Central West Virginia Airport, abbreviated CKB. Located at 2000 Aviation Way in nearby Bridgeport, the airport is about 8 miles east of downtown Clarksburg. Only one airline, United, currently serves the airport. Travelers starting their trip from any airport other than Dulles International near Washington, DC, will have at least one connection as part of their journey.
After Arriving at the Airport
Once you've landed at the airport, a number of options are available for reaching downtown Clarksburg. Two area hotels, the Holiday Inn Bridgeport and the Hilton Garden Inn, offer shuttle service from the airport. Taxi services are available through Royal Cab Company. Another option is renting a car, which is worth considering if you plan to explore West Virginia beyond the immediate Clarksburg area. If you choose to rent a vehicle, Orbitz.com can help you find a car from Avis or Hertz, the two agencies with a presence at the airport.
