About the film:
The film is a mix of hot policy debate bringing to light the controversial California "parent trigger laws" and old-fashioned screen drama directed by Daniel Barnz. Two determined mothers, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Oscar-nominated Viola Davis ("The Help"), look to transform their children's failing inner city school. Facing powerful and entrenched bureaucracy, they risk everything to make a difference in the education of their children.

Militant killed in Narathiwat clash
- Published: 27/03/2013 at 11:27 AM
- Online news:
The body of a dead militant was found on Wednesday morning in Cho Airong district of Narathiwat province following a clash overnight between rebels and a team of rangers, police said.
The rangers reported exchanging gunfire with a group of three or four militants at Ban Kubaepuyu in tambon Marubo Ok of Cho Airong district during the night.
The soldiers were looking for rebels who took part in the attack on a marine base at Ban Yulo in tambon Bare Tai in Bacho district on the night of Feb 13, when 16 militants were killed.
Two rangers were wounded in last night's clash. Hari Domae, 34, was shot in the hip, and Saengchai Saengmanee, 29, was shot in a leg. They were admitted to Narathiwat Ratchanakarin Hospital.
During a search of the area where the clash occurred this morning, a government patrol found the body of Abdulromaeng Duelo, 34, a native of Si Sakhon district. He was shot three times in the body.
Abdulromaeng was wanted under a warrant issued on Oct 21, 2008 for murder and attempted murder.

Forum editorial: Not your father's road dust
There's nothing new about road dust in dry western North Dakota. It's been a fact of rural life since before Dakota Territory was divided into North Dakota and South Dakota. But what is new in North Dakota's oil country is that road dust, once an occasional nuisance, has evolved into a 24/7 phenomenon that is affecting crops, livestock and probably the health of farm and ranch families.

Most important thing is to choose a kit that's 1, easy to build, 2, quick to build, 3, inexpensive.
There were a number of clubs that did one-design funflies every year, back in the days when we were all modelers and you had to actually build your planes <G>. One club chose telemasters one year and that pretty well eliminated the one-design event at that club. There were only a few that were ever finished. The 4-star probably had the longest run as it met the 3 criteria above. There was a club about an hour drive from where I lived that chose the Sig Scamp one year. It's nice flying little 3-channel model with a pre-molded foam wing so all you do is build the fuselage. I think they had the highest participation rate I know of due to the meeting all the criteria above perfectly. After building a few and modding them, I'd probably vote for the house of balsa laser-stick-10. It doesn't meet your desire for a 40 size plane, but they fly real well, lend themselves to modifications (I had one as a twin with two speed 400's and nicads), and I could build one in an evening after work, probably 5~6 hours, with 75% of that spent covering. I hate covering. No patience and it's too tedious <G>. |

Rereading July 2008. I am about a week ahead of last pregnancy. Rereading it a blast...turns out BOTH girls were uncooperative at the first anatomy scans, both curled up into tight little balls and wouldn't move. Felt movement with both around 17 weeks. I said the kicks got stronger at almost 20 weeks, which would put me at around this coming weekend...we'll see! Friday I get anatomy scan round 2...
One difference is the working out. I was still doing 2-a-days and running (at a pace I would now consider "fast!"). Ha ha. Well, at least the weight gain is similar...I am maybe a pound over (6 total, versus 5 at 19 weeks). I just don't get hungry during pregnancy. No snacking, tiny meals. Whatever, I will pack it on while nursing. I hate that everyone says nursing makes you lose weight. Maybe if you gain a lot, but not for me! |

Cisco Buying Rackspace Would Boost Both Companies
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- At the end of its most recent quarter, Cisco (CSCO - Get Report) had $50 billion in cash on the balance sheet and another $13 billion in operating cash flow. So there's very little that the networking giant can't afford. But the company has struggled with growth.
That, however, has not stopped investors from wondering "what if?" With the stock closing Monday at $25.23, shares are now up roughly 13% on the year to date.
Although growth has come in limited supply, Cisco's cash position and its strong 3.10% yield makes it tough to overlook the stock. For this reason, and the renewed confidence of investors, Cisco can't afford to pass up on an opportunity to grow its cloud presence. A deal for Rackspace Hostings (RAX - Get Report) is what the doctors orders for Cisco's future and its stock.
Cisco has the cash and Rackspace is motivated to sell. Back in May, Rackspace management disclosed it has fielded M&A overtures from several companies. Some of which also expressed a desire to form strategic partnerships.
>>Tesla Motors Q&A: Batteries, Superchargers, Gigafactory and More I can only speculate on which companies these might have been. Calls and emails to Rackspace representatives were not immediately returned. While Rackspace does have a strong base of customers willing to shell out the cash it needs to grow its business its high-end outsourced cloud service model, competition from the likes of Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOG) and VMware (VMW) (among others) are making it tough for Rackspace to compete. This, however, legitimizes Rackspace's business model and lends credence to why it is an attractive target. With its market cap right around $5 billion and its $71 million debt, Cisco only needs to shell out $7.5 billion (50% premium) to get this deal done. Essentially, for less than 12% of Cisco's combined cash and operating cash flow, Cisco would instantly become a feared cloud rival to Amazon, Google and IBM (IBM). What we've come to know as "the cloud" is evolving. OpenStack is the new battleground. It is the term used to describe a worldwide collaboration of developers and cloud-computing experts who are working together on an open-source platform. The goal is to advance the public and private clouds.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Dad's divorced from Mom who has a new husband -- plus everyone's paying for the wedding. So now you're wondering, 'How do I word an invitation like this?' We've got your solution to this situation and more.
Photo: Pure Image
If you're like many Americans, your familial configuration is anything but nuclear. Parents that are divorced, remarried, or deceased are not uncommon. Likewise, wedding customs have changed: Instead of the bride's family footing the entire bill, more couples are paying for their own festivities, under their own terms. In the wake of these changes, the innocent wedding invitation, where those hosting -- um, paying for -- the wedding are conventionally recognized, has become an etiquette minefield. Read on to escape unscathed with our solutions to sticky wording situations.
To honor a mother or father who has passed away, you can skip the once-obligatory invite mention and honor the parent at the ceremony or reception instead. Ideas? Light a candle during the ceremony, play his or her favorite song, or have his or her favorite piece of scripture or a poem read (its significance should be noted in the wedding program).
Knot Note: In this example, the daughter's fraternal surname is included to honor the deceased parent.
Be sure to properly denote each title in a wedding invitation. For example:Dr. Michelle Wright and Timothy WrightandMr. John Monroerequest the honor of your presenceat the marriage of their daughterElizabeth Ann MonroetoKevin Charles Black, Esq.son ofMr. and Mrs. Stanley Black

US 20040160462 A1 Abstract A method and computer graphics program executed by a processor for interactively subdividing a region in a computer controlled graphics display system is described. The user directly manipulates a control object (or "handle") using a pointing device such as a computer mouse with the result that the region exposing the control object is evenly divided into an array or volume of smaller regions. The distance from the position of the start of interaction with the control object (the "click") is continuously monitored to interactively update the number of divisions in the horizontal and vertical directions. Example displays during this interaction phase include overlaid grids representing the actual position of pending subdivisions, or a matrix of abstract subregions representing the count of subregions that will be created when the user indicates that the interaction is complete by releasing the control object. Upon release of the control object, the previewed splits to the region are converted to real splits in the region.
Claims(24) 1. A method for segmenting a region on a display using an input device, the region composed of a bounded area or volume, the display including one or more regions within a larger area or volume, the input device capable of converting user input into a two or three-dimensional position, the method comprising:

Description [0001] The present invention shares the same inventors and assignee as, and is related to, the following applications: [0002] Docket number pp-02-01-2003, entitled "METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTERACTIVE CROPPING OF A GRAPHICAL OBJECT WITHIN A CONTAINING REGION", as well as Docket number pp-01-01-2003, entitled "METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISTRIBUTING MULTIPLE DRAGGED OBJECTS", in that the methods of object cropping and object distribution described therein may optionally be combined with the user interface elements described herein. [0003] The present application formalizes the provisional utility patent application with application number 60-446,751 and confirmation number 4660, filed Feb. 3, 2003. [0004] The present invention relates particularly to a graphics imaging system for producing visual designs and more particularly to a graphics imaging system that presents a display of a plurality of regions arranged into a regular structure, for example to form a collage of bitmapped images. [0005] Computer systems are sometimes used to process digital imagery, such as that captured by digital cameras and scanners, into new forms. The processing may include assembling several images into new images, such as mosaics or collages. The present invention includes a method for streamlining the segmentation of a region or volume into smaller regions or volumes. While the examples provided refer to the assembly of collages from multiple source images, the technique is applicable to any task involving the arrangement of multiple two- or three-dimensional regions. [0006] The present invention provides for an interaction technique, implementable on a computer readable medium, for interactively segmenting a region into an array of smaller regions. We use the term 'region' to indicate a two- or three-dimensional bounded area on a computer display which can be used, without lack of generality, to contain a bitmapped raster image. [0007] In one aspect of the invention, the user enters a segmenting mode, interactively segments a particular region into a plurality of smaller regions which in aggregate retain the overall dimensions of the initial region, and then leaves the segmenting mode. [0008] In another aspect of the invention, the segmentation is performed by direct manipulation of a control drawn on the border of said initial region with a user interface device such as a mouse or keyboard. [0009] In another aspect of the invention, the segmentation is computed using the updated position of a pointing device such as a mouse relative to the position at the start of interaction. A keyboard may also be used. The segmentation forms a combination of rows and/or columns of evenly-spaced regions which fill the initial region when the user exits the segmentation mode. [0010] In another aspect of the invention, the user receives visual feedback during segmentation which indicates the number and position of subregions which will be created when the segmentation mode is exited. This feedback may take the form of lines on the original region at the actual location where new regions will be created, or it may take the form of an overlaid grid of cells indicating the number of new regions that will be formed. [0011] In another aspect of the invention, the original region may either be replaced by the collection of new regions at the end of interaction, or it may continue to exist as a container of the new regions in a parent-child relationship. [0012] A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: [0013]FIG. 1 depicts a computer system suitable for implementing a system for segmenting regions, according to the present invention. [0014]FIG. 2 depicts an abstract collage, demonstrating various operations that can be applied to the regions it contains. [0015]FIG. 3 depicts a simple, grid-based tiled collage. [0016]FIG. 4 depicts a non-grid collage. [0017]FIG. 5 depicts the relationship between regions and bitmapped source images they may contain [0018]FIG. 6 depicts an example set of manipulators that decorate the frame of a region in the preferred embodiment of the invention. [0019]FIG. 7 depicts region rotation using a manipulator handle. [0020]FIG. 8 depicts region resizing using a manipulator handle. [0021]FIG. 9 depicts image panning using a manipulator handle. [0022]FIG. 10 depicts image cropping using a manipulator handle. [0023]FIG. 11 depicts region deletion using a manipulator handle. [0024]FIG. 12 depicts a simple one-step region segmentation. [0025]FIG. 13 depicts the creation of a complex collage creation using a sequence of region segmentations. [0026]FIG. 14 depicts the steps of region segmentation in the preferred mouse-based implementation of the invention. [0027]FIG. 15 draws attention to the visual references drawn over the region during mouse-based segmentation. [0028]FIG. 16 depicts alternatives to said visual references drawn on overlapped regions. [0029]FIG. 17 depicts an alternative embodiment of the visual references drawn during mouse-based segmentation. [0030] In the following discussion, the present invention is described for illustrative purposes with reference to the editing of raster image information. However, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the invention, in its broadest aspect, is applicable to processes other than image manipulation, and it is not intended that the scope of the invention be so limited. For example, the present invention is also applicable to the editing of video data, and to media data in general. [0031] Computer Imaging System [0032] A computer graphics imaging system 1 is schematically depicted in FIG. 1. The graphics imaging system 1 includes a computer 2 that has a central processing unit (CPU) 3 which may include local memory 3 a, static memory 4 such as Read-only memory (ROM), main memory 5 such as Random Access memory (RAM), mass memory 6 such as a computer disk drive, a system bus 7, adaptor(s) for external input devices 8, and a display adapter 9 which may include local memory 9 a. The computer 2 communicates with an alphanumeric input device 10 such as a keyboard, a pointer device 11 such as a mouse for manipulating a cursor and making selections of data via said input adapter 8. The computer 2 communicates with a video display 12 such as a computer monitor via said display adapter 9. [0033] The computer 2 executes imaging software described below to allow the system 1 to render high quality graphics images on the monitor 12. The CPU 3 comprises a suitable processing device such as a microprocessor, for example, and may comprise a plurality of suitable processing devices. The graphics adaptor 9 may also be capable of executing instructions. Instructions are stored in the CPU local memory 3 a, static memory 4, display adapter local memory 9 a, main memory 5, and/or mass memory 6 and are executed by the CPU 3 or the display adapter 9. [0034] The static memory 4 may comprise read only memory (ROM) or any other suitable memory device. The local memory may store, for example, a boot program for execution by CPU 3 to initialize the graphics imaging system 1. The main memory 5 may comprise random access memory (RAM) or any other suitable memory device. The mass memory 6 may include a hard disk device, a floppy disk, an optical disk, a flash memory device, a CDROM, a file server device or any other suitable memory device. For this detailed description, the term memory comprises a single memory device and any combination of suitable devices for the storage of data and instructions. [0035] The system bus 7 provides for the transfer of digital information between the hardware devices of the graphics imaging system 1. The CPU 3 also receives data over the system bus 7 that is input by a user through alphanumeric input device 10 and/or the pointer device 11 via an input adaptor 8. The alphanumeric input device 10 may comprise a keyboard, for example, that comprises alphanumeric keys. The alphanumeric input device 10 may comprise other suitable keys such as function keys for example. The pointer device 11 may comprise a mouse, track-ball, tablet and/or joystick, for example, for controlling the movement of a cursor displayed on the computer display 12. [0036] The graphics imaging system 1 of FIG. 1 also includes display adapter hardware 9 that may be implemented as a circuit that interfaces with system bus 7 for facilitating rendering of images on the computer display 12. The display adapter hardware 9 may, for example, be implemented with a special graphics processor printed circuit board including dedicated random access memory 9 a that helps speed the rendering of high resolution, color images on a viewing screen of the display 12. [0037] The display 12 may comprise a cathode ray tube (CRT) or a liquid crystal display particularly suited for displaying graphics on its viewing screen. The invention can be implemented using high-speed graphics workstations as well as personal computers having one or more high-speed processors. [0038] The graphics imaging system 1 utilizes specialized graphics software particularly suited to take advantage of the imaging hardware included in the display system 1 depicted in FIG. 1. The software implements a user interface and related processing algorithms as described in subsequent sections to enable the user to produce graphical works viewed on the display 12 and which may be stored in mass memory 6. The graphical works may involve the assembly of graphical objects such as bitmaps. Source material for use with such a system can include previously digitized materials stored on a computer memory 6 such as images from digital cameras, scanning devices, or the internet, stored on a large capacity hard or fixed disk storage device. [0039] Collages [0040] For the purposes of this invention a Collage is defined as an arrangement of two-dimensional graphical objects, such as digital images, into a larger graphical object. As shown in FIG. 2, the regions 21 a-g within the collage 20 may tile (21 a, 21 b, 21 c), overlap (21 d, 21 e), be rotated to any angle (21 f), skewed (21 g), or otherwise affected by the user. [0041] Collages which fit neatly together, with even spaces between adjacent images, are visually pleasing. As shown in FIG. 3, regular grids, such as 2×2 or 3×4 arrangements of four or twelve images respectively, are often used to assemble a composite image from several source images. [0042] Users who wish collages of more visual complexity may choose to arrange the tiled images into non-grid patterns. As shown in FIG. 4, these collages may form a 'brick wall' interleaving or other more sophisticated arrangements. [0043] The current invention provides the user with tools for quickly constructing both regular grid and non-grid collages. [0044] Regions [0045] The collage is composed of a set of user-manipulable frames that define regions within the collage. As shown in FIG. 5, each region 21 frames and contains exactly one graphical object 31, such as a bitmapped image, which can be panned and zoomed within the frame. The graphical object is a reference to a source object 32, such as a bitmap. [0046] As shown in FIG. 6, the user can apply several types of manipulation to a frame by manipulating controls (33-38) which in the preferred embodiment of the invention are built into the frame of each region. These controls can be driven via a user interface device such as a mouse, or using a keyboard. The operations include: [0047] Rotating the region 21 (see FIG. 7) [0048] Resizing the region 21 (see FIG. 8) [0049] Panning the image 31 contained within the region 21 (see FIG. 9) [0050] Cropping the image 31 contained within the region 21 (see FIG. 10) [0051] Deleting the region 21 (see FIG. 11) [0052] Segmenting the region 21 (described below). [0053] Region Segmentation [0054] The present invention specifically relates to the segmentation, or splitting, of regions: the production of a set of smaller regions which in aggregate retain the overall dimensions of the initial region. [0055] Segmentation is a useful tool for building collages: simple grid-based collage layouts can be constructed in a single operation (FIG. 12) while complex, irregular collages can be constructed by applying sequential segmentation operations (FIG. 13) [0056] Referring again to FIG. 6, there is shown, in graphical form, a region 21. In one embodiment of this invention, said region is decorated with interactive manipulator handles 33-38 enabling the user to apply various operations on the region and the image it contains via a pointing user interface device. In particular there exists a handle 33 which enables segmentation of said region 21. Said handle may appear anywhere in or about said region 21. [0057] Segmenting Regions Using a Mouse Input Device [0058] In one embodiment of this invention, the user segments the region by manipulating an input device such as a mouse as illustrated in FIG. 14: [0059] 1. Moving the mouse such that the pointer 40 is positioned over the split handle 33 [0060] The handle 33 may assume a new visual state, such as a brightened or highlighted representation, to indicate that it will become active if the user presses the mouse button. [0061] 2. Pressing the mouse button [0062] The handle 33 and other decoration on the frame may disappear to allow the user to concentrate on the image itself. [0063] 3. Dragging the mouse down and to the right [0064] As the user drags, the display may update to reflect the segmentation the user is currently specifying. For example, it may superimpose lines 41 on the region indicating the number of splits that will occur. [0065] The Algorithm for calculating the number of splits and alternative visual representations are discussed below. [0066] 4. Releasing the mouse button [0067] The region will be segmented if it has not already done so [0068] The handle 33 and all other decoration on the frame may reappear if they were hidden in step 2. [0069] The handles may be drawn smaller if necessary to fit within the new regions [0070] In step 3 above, the number of rows and columns that the region(s) will be segmented into is calculated by determining the distance from the current pointer position to the position at the time of the button press in step 2. This distance is composed of an X and a Y coordinate: the segmentation is computed as follows:
[0071] Region Segmentation Mode [0072] Once the mouse button was pressed while the cursor 40 was over the split handle 33 in step 2 of the previous section, and until the mouse button was released in the subsequent step 4, the graphics system was in "Region Segmentation Mode". [0073] In another embodiment of this invention, the user has other means for entering and leaving this mode for a given selected region(s), such as via the use of a keyboard: [0074] 1. Pressing and releasing a key (such as 's') to enter Region Segmentation Mode [0075] (applying the segmentation using any technique described here) [0076] 2. Subsequently pressing a key (such as 'enter', or 's' again) to exit the mode or [0077] 1. Pressing and holding a key (such as 's') to enter Region Segmentation Mode [0078] (applying the segmentation using any technique described here) [0079] 2. Subsequently releasing said key to exit the mode [0080] Segmenting Regions Using a Keyboard Input Device [0081] In another embodiment of this invention, the user segments a selected region using a keyboard, as follows: [0082] 1. Entering the Region Segmentation Mode [0083] (For example, by pressing and releasing the 's' key) [0084] and then . . . [0085] 2a). Pressing and releasing a key which increases horizontal segmentation (such as the right arrow key) [0086] A column will be added to the previewed horizontal segmentation of the region [0087] or [0088] 2b). Pressing and releasing a key which decreases horizontal segmentation (such as the left arrow key) [0089] A column will be removed from the previewed horizontal segmentation of the region [0090] or [0091] 2c). Pressing and releasing a key which increases vertical segmentation (such as the down arrow key) [0092] A row will be added to the previewed vertical segmentation of the region [0093] or [0094] 2d). Pressing and releasing a key which decreases vertical segmentation (such as the up arrow key) [0095] A row will be removed from the previewed vertical segmentation of the region [0096] Aborting Segmentation [0097] In another embodiment of this invention, the user is able to abort the segmentation operation while in Region Segmentation Mode. This is accomplished by pressing a key, such as the 'esc' key. This removes any previewed segmentation, refreshes the display to include the handles decorating the regions again if necessary, and exits Region Segmentation Mode. [0098] Visual Feedback During Segmentation [0099] In another embodiment of this invention, the user is provided with visual feedback as the segmentation operation progresses under his control. [0100] Grid Lines [0101] In the preferred embodiment of the invention, and as illustrated in FIG. 14, feedback regarding the progress of the segmentation is provided to the user while in Region Subdivision Mode by means of a set of lines 41 drawn over the region(s) undergoing segmentation. The position of the lines indicates the actual location of row and/or column divisions that will result when Region Segmentation Mode is exited. [0102] As the user increases or decreases the amount of segmentation, these lines are updated to reflect the new position of the splits (FIG. 14). [0103] These lines are drawn on top of the region(s) being subdivided; without loss of generality they may be drawn above or below other regions which happen to overlap said region(s) (FIG. 15). [0104] When Region Segmentation Mode is exited, the lines are removed. The new arrangement of regions resulting from the segmentation will exactly align with the final position of said lines. [0105] Cells [0106] In another embodiment of the invention as illustrated in FIG. 17, feedback regarding the progress of the segmentation is provided to the user while in Region Subdivision Mode by means of a grid of cells 41 drawn over the display, positioned at the location where interaction began. [0107] As the user increases or decreases the amount of segmentation, the cells in the grid are highlighted 42 to reflect the number of rows and columns that will result from the segmentation. [0108] The grid may have a minimum dimension (say, 3 by 3 cells). In the event that the user selects a segmentation of greater than this minimum dimension, the grid will be extended in the appropriate direction to completely contain the number of cells required to continue to reflect the desired segmentation. [0109] This grid of cells 41 is drawn on top of all regions on the display. [0110] When Region Segmentation Mode is exited, the grid is removed. The new arrangement of regions resulting from the segmentation will reflect the number of cells there were highlighted during the region segmentation operation. [0111] Completing Segmentation [0112] When the user exits Region Segmentation Mode without aborting, a set of new regions are added to the display such that their aggregate dimensions match the dimensions of the original region. [0113] In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the original region is replaced by the new regions which are independent and can be further manipulated or split by the user without affecting other regions. [0114] In another embodiment of the invention, the original region is retained and the new regions are considered as subregions of the original region in a parent-child relationship. [0115] In either case it is possible to retain the contents of the original frame, if any, within one of the newly-created regions. [0116] Having described the invention, it should be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that the foregoing is illustrative and not limiting. Numerous modifications, variations and alterations may be made to the described embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention by one of ordinary skill in the art and are contemplated as falling within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

A trio of creatively concocted sandwiches was served on a baguette but came with bánh mì-style garnishes: cucumber, red onion, radish, pickled carrot, jalapeño, and "pâté aioli," a fantastically rich dressing made from puréed pâté de foie gras. The 24-hour braised beef filling was tender and delectable. On future visits, I'll be sure to sample the other two sandwiches: roast chicken marinated in Chinese black vinegar and honey, and grilled fish of the day with Szechuan spices and shaved fennel — the key words here being future visits.

Osborne has since backtracked on his original proposals - a cap on whichever is higher, 25% of a person's income or £50,000 - but insists he will not perform a U-turn.
It is, of course, a delicate balancing act. On the one hand, the exchequer needs to find a way of maximising the amount of tax collected from Britain's wealthiest residents - some of whom are paying just 20% income tax or less - while on the other, it needs to encourage philanthropy.
Charities inevitably screamed loudest when the suggestion of a cap was first made, while many commentators were sceptical of exactly how much revenue it would generate, which the government estimates at between £50m and £100m.
Indeed, the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) found last week nine out of ten of its members believe the government's cap on tax relief will depress donations from major donors, while commentators criticised the measure for its untargeted nature.
As if that were not enough, the CAF also found almost two-thirds of Tory and Lib Dem backbenchers opposed to the move.
The first option is to have a separate limit on charitable giving at 50% of an individual's income, which could allow charities significantly more in reliefs than under the current plan. The second is to let donors roll over unused tax reliefs into following years, provided they are used for donations.
While these measures cut less deeply, it has not dampened the vociferous calls to abandon the cap.
Few would disagree with Treasury minister David Gauke's assessment that it is "not entirely fair...there are some very wealthy individuals who are essentially able to take themselves out of the income tax system", he said on the BBC's Today programme. But, for CAF's chief executive John Low "a blanket cap throws the baby out with the bath water".
"If there is evidence of abuse then by all means put appropriate measures in place," he adds.
That, however, raises the question of what are appropriate measures?
One popular alternative is a minimum tax imposed on top earners set at predetermined percentage of their income. Under this system, donations will not be targeted directly, and instead a minimum tax contribution would be made before reliefs apply.
This could eliminate the charities' pain at the point of receiving donations, but it may still have a chilling effect on the size of donations received - as it will cut in to the amount of disposable income available to donors.
The government is keen to point out its proposals are not dissimilar to the ones present in the US, which is notably pro-philanthropic, whilst still imposing a cap on tax reliefs.
The dearth of further suggestions is a cause for concern. Certainly, charities will fight their corner - and who can blame them? But, the current situation of potentially unlimited tax reliefs is highly unusual, and the problem of society's richest legitimately mitigating their tax liability will not go away.

Loading... Paranormalcy (edition 2011)by Kiersten White
Work detailsParanormalcy by Kiersten White
None. None Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Total brain candy! I picked this up on the advice of a friend for a quick read between grad school terms and it was perfect for that. Enjoyable characters, a strong female lead who actually talks with her boyfriend instead of hiding her fears, and the plot moves along quickly. No, this book won't change your life or make you think too hard, but it will entertain you without killing brain cells. A quick, enjoyable read. I enjoyed reading this book. Evie was a great character that kept me interested in what she would do. She was believable as a teenager who was dealing with a very abnormal situation. Lend was a little more difficult to take but I appreciated that White did not have the characters immediately fall head over heels in love or in bed! I'm looking forward to the next two books in the series. I've read a lot of fiction books on paranormal creatures but I think this one had a fresh take on it. It was definatly different then anything I had read before. It was a little confusing but otherwise it was a good book. I would've adored this book as a teenager. Its really refreshing to see a main female character who isn't angst filled. Evie is sassy and can take care of herself. Some of her actions kind of reminded me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I couldn't help but picture her and some of the other characters looking like the BtVS cast. What was really great about this book though was White's use of different mythological creatures as her main character. Yes there are vampire and werewolves but they fall to the wayside here. Instead we have some really original beings such as water creatures, hags, and Fae. I really loved how the Fae were portrayed in this. White uses the traditional outlook on them of being gorgeous, selfish, and deadly because of their different set of morals. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an original and engaging young adult paranormal book. 3.5 I've been wanting to read this since it came out and I saw good reviews for it. I am just now making time to get some books from the past few years of blogging that I know that I have missed out on, and for the most part it has been a great experience. The world building in Paranormalcy is good, simple enough but it has many supernaturals that add to the world. Evie herself has grown up in the agency after bouncing from foster homes. They took her in when they realized she saw through a glamour (outside appearance) to the real identity and look of the supernatural below. She has always thought of herself as human, and the work she does tagging other paranormals as helpful to the world in general. But a prophecy and a new guy, the likes of which Evie has never seen in the paranormal spectrum before shows up and things get a lot more action packed and adds in twists. Lend, the new guy, seems so sweet, and he marvels that Evie sees who he really is and they both really enjoy spending time together. There is also a fairy Reth who Evie used to have a special connection with, that Evie used to love but now just is scared that he is trying to take her heart. Things clear up a bit when Evie realizes that she has someone much like her but that the two differences in the prophecy could mean one for her and another for the mystery gal. I really enjoyed the romance and Evie's general outlook. She has never been to school, only watching a popular tv series about the "normals" that she loves. Her best friend is also a paranormal, she is like a mermaid and they have her in a tank. She speaks through a computer generated software and they have many laughs as she tries to say curse words and all that comes out it is bleep. I flew through this one and will be sure to read the next to see what will happen with Evie, Lend, Reth and the others I got to know in this book. Bottom Line: Good and fast paced paranormal. no reviews | add a review Is contained in
No descriptions found. When a dark prophecy begins to come true, sixteen-year-old Evie of the International Paranormal Containment Agency must not only try to stop it, she must also uncover its connection to herself and the alluring shapeshifter, Lend. (summary from another edition) |

Illumina Strengthens Leadership Position In Reproductive Health With Agreement To Acquire Verinata Health, Inc.
Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ:ILMN) today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Verinata Health, Inc., a leading provider of non-invasive tests for the early identification of fetal chromosomal abnormalities, for consideration of $350 million plus up to $100 million in milestone payments through 2015. Upon completion of the acquisition, Illumina will have access to Verinata's verifi® prenatal test, the broadest non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) available today for high-risk pregnancies, and to the most comprehensive intellectual property portfolio in the non-invasive prenatal test industry. As non-invasive prenatal testing is one of the most rapidly growing areas utilizing next-generation sequencing, Illumina is uniquely positioned to be at the forefront of providing superior prenatal testing options.
"This agreement with Verinata demonstrates Illumina's commitment to developing innovative diagnostic solutions and providing our partners with the most advanced technologies for improved patient care," said Jay Flatley, President and CEO of Illumina. "Building on the recent acquisition of BlueGnome Ltd. and our expertise in next-generation sequencing, this announcement further establishes Illumina as a leader in reproductive health."
Available through a physician, the verifi test analyzes cell-free fetal DNA naturally found in a pregnant woman's blood to look for missing or extra copies of chromosomes (referred to as aneuploidies). Specifically, the test detects Down syndrome (trisomy 21 or T21), Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18 or T18) and Patau syndrome (trisomy 13 or T13). It is the first non-invasive prenatal test that offers the option to include evaluation of sex chromosome aneuploidies, such as Turner syndrome (Monosomy X), Triple X (XXX), Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) and Jacobs syndrome (XYY) – the most common fetal sex chromosome abnormalities.
Compared to other testing options, the verifi prenatal test provides more definitive information than risk score-based tests (traditional protein serum screens), which calculate probabilities, and does not carry the risk of complications that an invasive procedure, such as an amniocentesis, can have. The robust technology behind the verifi test leverages the power of massively parallel next-generation sequencing with a highly optimized algorithm to provide accurate aneuploidy detection, with the ability to look across the entire genome.

Best Robert L. Hinshaw Poems
An Ode To Vera Selena (Osburn) Hinshaw It takes a very special lady to be an ideal Air Force wife, To face the many challenges and vicissitudes of Air Force life. Even though it meant moving every few years to a different place, You became a seasoned veteran as we moved from base to base. You made a house a home whether in the states or foreign lands. I marveled at your flexibility and left things in your capable hands. When moving through the ranks and Lord knows at times money was tight, But you worked marvels with hamburger meat and taters much to my delight! You understood when I was called to duty and missed family celebrations, But you pressed on, nurturing the girls and kept busy with various organizations. As we advanced in rank you met social obligations with pride and grace. You taught Sunday School and Girl Scouts leaving each base a better place! You supported me and helped me earn each stripe I wore upon my sleeve, Plus the various commendations and medals I was honored to receive. Honey, thanks for standing by me - these accolades are well deserved. The girls and I are very proud of you, since you also willingly served! Robert L.

Gov. Mark Dayton held a public signing ceremony Thursday for the state's newest gun bill; one that will allow prosecutors to carry weapons while on duty.
Flanked by county attorneys and GOP sponsor Rep. Tony Cornish, Dayton signed off on the new law for the second time this week (the first signing was Monday.)
"All these men and women and people like them will be safer because of your leadership," Dayton said, thanking Cornish, R-Good Thunder, who introduced the bill at the request of the state County Attorneys Association.
The Cook County shooting "brought a lot of attention to the dangers that our enforcers of the law" face, Cornish said. "They put up with quite a lot...there's a very volatile situation in our courts today."
Minnesota's county attorneys and assistant county attorneys say the bill is a step toward making prosecutors feel a little more secure about what can be a very dangerous job. Just last December, the Cook County Attorney was shot in his courthouse office by a defendant he'd just prosecuted.
The new law waives a restriction that had banned prosecutors from carrying guns on duty, even if they have carry permits. Judges and public defenders face no such restrictions.
Judges will still have the right to ban guns from courthouses and courtrooms, but prosecutors say they were more interested in having the option of keeping weapons in their offices, cars and elsewhere.Unlike most gun bills, this one passed the Legislature by a broad majority, with bipartisan support.
"Prosecutors are threatened pretty much on a daily basis," said Blue Earth County Attorney Ross Arneson, one of more than half a dozen prosecutors who attended the signing ceremony at the Capitol. "This bill doesn't give county attorneys or assistant county attorneys any rights that public defenders and assistant public defenders haven't enjoyed all along. You weren't worried about public defenders carrying guns in courthouses, so I don't know why you're worried that county attorneys are going to cause problems."
Most county attorneys won't carry weapons, said Arneson, noting that he likely wouldn't carry a weapon to work, even though he's had a carry permit for the past decade.
"If I think there's a current safety threat, I'd want to be able to carry until that threat's over," he told reporters. "I don't feel (a threat) today, despite the media presence...I think it's a pretty modest proposal. I don't think most people are going to do it most of the time. Frankly, it's kind of a pain to carry a firearm around."
Among the prosecutors at Thursday's signing ceremony was Ross Arneson, a Blue Earth County assistant attorney, who once had a suspect take out a hit on his life. Arneson, who testified in favor of the bill earlier this year, described the unnerving days when he had to travel to and from his office without a weapon, because he was technically on duty.
"We're put in situation every day that are more dangerous than the typical person, just because of who we are in contact with," said Rovney, who was alerted to the threat on his life when the suspect he was prosecuting attempted to recruit a police confidential informant as his hit man.
"At that time, I wasn't able to take this very simple step to protect myself, to carry a handgun," Rovney added. "I'm not a very big gun guy myself, but certainly in a situation like that, I'd like to have that opportunity. Now that I do, I'm very grateful for that"

What is the best (read: "Most effective") Antivirus for Windows? Aspects to consider:
asked May 31 '10 at 18:36 tsilb Why the hell are people - voting this?
(Jun 10 '10 at 01:22)
malware bytes antimalware + microsoft security essential period!....they both are great and they both are free, and it works for me, cant say if it ll work for u, but give it a shot, it has been recommended to me a professional geek from youtube community youtube user: pcmichiana, this guy is amazing and knows his stuff!
(Sep 27 '11 at 15:43)
AVG is the best in my opinion.......................... answered Jun 12 '10 at 13:42 AppleHack23 |
I've been using the Windows Security Essentials since Beta and have found: - Light resource footprint - Better than decent job in quarantining suspicious files/activity - Fast scanning - Automated updates that actually keep it up to date answered May 31 '10 at 18:39 desktophero And it doesn't get in the way of what you're doing at the time.
(May 31 '10 at 19:45)
Agreed... this is one of the first AV solutions that my work approved of for their VPN solution. Don't get me wrong, my first preference is *Nix, but work pays the bills and not open source OS. :) I run Windows to get into work...and WSE has been just fine in what I need
(May 31 '10 at 19:48)
I use Microsoft Security Essentials.
answered May 31 '10 at 18:37 tsilb I used that once. Completely trashed my Vista x64 machine. Microsoft told me to completely disable everything during the install.. Then claimed they weren't responsible for the virus that killed it.

Replying to your own question... well its a good question and response so you get my vote!
(May 31 '10 at 18:40)
The best question to ask is one you know the answer to :) Wait, no, that's in the Intelligence biz, not the tech biz... but whatever.
(May 31 '10 at 18:45)
I use and have used AVG on all my computers and I love it! Definitely recommended if you want a fast, free antivirus program answered May 31 '10 at 19:43 chadt4 All the way! http://free.avg.com
(May 31 '10 at 19:45)
avg has a bad history of stopping other programs from updating.. steam for example.
(Jun 10 '10 at 01:14)
I use Microsoft Security Essentials. It is made by Microsoft specifically for their OS and it is very effective. Best of all, its free so you don't need to buy the full version to get all the features. answered Jun 10 '10 at 01:10 JellyWoo |
Funny no one has mentioned COMODO antivirus.. or security suite really. Best firewall and security I've come across, beats every other answer I've seen here. Sure the Microsoft antivirus is light and ok, but there are a lot of things that other security companies do better.. (windows firewall is useless) For one you can set the security level with Comodo. so you can be paranoid and get every process and file change to ask you first, or you can relax and let it do its thing with out asking you anything answered Jun 10 '10 at 01:21 walterj89 I use Comodo myself. Works wonders. I don't use the AV side, just the firewall. The control is 2nd to none from my experience.

I have been using Kaspersky and Eset NOD32 by far the best paid for solutions, As far as free solutions go AVG Free Edition is ok as well as Microsoft Security Essentials. There is Also an open source alternative called clamwin. For independant tests of all the different AV software go to http://www.av-comparatives.org/comparativesreviews/main-tests answered Jun 10 '10 at 01:38 keyoke |
I suggest reading this: http://www.katarmstrong.com/blog/2007/09/how-to-windows-protection-software/ Find that AV software you want, with your needs. :) answered May 31 '10 at 18:40 Aaron |
