5. One of Us
"…rode with the coming of the dawn…"
"…and I saw it—dark smoke rising…"
"…black ships at Pelargir, at my home…"
The Houses had never been this crowded. Everywhere I turned, there were voices and standing bodies. Our soldiers and guardsmen and message-lads were there; new arrivals, fair-haired men from the Mark, were also to be seen, as were a few who'd come from the coast, downriver. A murmur, low and urgent and edged with hope, was passing through the crowd.
"…slew the Black Captain…"
"…army of dead men at the docks, grey and fell, and I saw it…"
"…healed him, though he was dying…"
I stood on my toes and tried to peer over the forest of heads and shoulders that had suddenly grown up in the north ward. The tightest knot of people seemed to be wound around a tall, dark man whose face I could not see. Our Warden was making his way through the crowd to stand near him, speaking above the others' voices, trying to enforce some semblance of order; it was unusual to see him like this, for he seldom ever shouted or spoke very loudly—but then again, he seldom had need to. I returned to the flats of my feet, then went up again. There were no other staff members in sight. The Warden's gaze finally lighted on me, and he beckoned me over with a motion that told me I should be quick about it.
By the time I had shouldered my way through the crowd to stand before the Warden, the tall man was gone. In his place was another, who stood serenely as the Warden spoke to him. The Warden turned to me and placed a heavy hand on my shoulder. He looked exhausted, but there was a strange sort of light in his eyes.
"Listen carefully," he said, speaking rapidly and firmly. "A man from the North, a Ranger who came to the battle, has come to the Houses. He has healed the Lord Faramir, and two others who were grievous near to death, and he will yet heal many more of our men." He paused and glanced at the one beside him. "And this is the Lord Elladan, his…" He lingered on a note of uncertainty.
"Kinsman," Lord Elladan put in gracefully. His voice was deep but oddly sweet-sounding. His face was unlined, though he did not seem young to me.
"…kinsman," the Warden repeated, although his countenance betrayed a moment's puzzled skepticism. "Lord Elladan and his brother are healers in the way of their own people, and they have most kindly offered their aid, as well." He stepped to the side to avoid further jostling by the crowd, and his grip on my shoulder tightened. "You will take him first to the ones whom we cannot save, for those are the ones in greatest need of gifts such as his. Stay in the north ward; the others have already gone to the south, and to the surgery corridor. Understand?"
I nodded, although my eyes were now on Lord Elladan. …in the way of their own people… So he was not a Man, at all—a strange, nervous thrill passed through my heart. The Elf smiled at me, and I realized I was staring very rudely.
"Good," said the Warden, releasing me. He gave me a final glance, then looked at Elladan, and then he straightened his spine before disappearing into the throng once more, as if steeling himself to face the unfamiliar street-scene that had once been our Houses.
So I led Lord Elladan to the dying men. They were easy enough to find, for we had tied our little black markers to the posts of their beds. Long before he had finished, I realized that the Elf could have found them by himself, without such crude signs affixed; but he was a foreigner, and someone important, as well, and the Warden most likely thought it would have been poor manners to let him go to work completely unaided, even if the only available escort was a callow young slip of a healer-girl.
I could scarcely take my gaze off of him. He moved with an unnerving silence. His eyes were grey, like my people's, but wholly dissimilar. Our eyes are the shade of storm clouds, and shadows on white stone. His eyes were the color of rain. He would shut them for long moments as he tended to the men, as if he were trying to recall something from long ago. He laid his slender fingers upon pale foreheads and spoke words in his own language. Occasionally he would ask to use an instrument or a bit of herb from my kit, but mostly he worked empty-handed; to this very day I cannot explain exactly what it was that he did. It seemed to me as though he were conducting a private transaction with each patient, building up a tale with his hands and voice, until it all changed, and the dying man returned and opened his eyes because he realized that the story had been his all along, and it was not yet finished as he had first supposed. But those were most likely my own personal fancies, for I was both tired and astonished.
A few times that night he would look over at me from the bedside where he was seated, and slowly shake his head; this signal I understood well enough. But even the ones he could not save seemed to relax under his touch, and their breathing would ease. I had begun by leading him down the center aisle in the north ward, but eventually I simply followed in his wake, quietly watching him and slipping the black cloths one after the other from the bedposts.
Finally we arrived at the far end of the ward. The Elf looked out over the rows of beds and men.
"And that is all, for the time?" he asked quietly. His tone held an edge of weariness—if indeed his people ever wearied, at all.
I glanced around rather stupidly. "Yes…I suppose it is."
"Then I will go and seek my brothers." He turned to me once more. "My thanks. It is no easy station you hold."
I could think of nothing to say in reply to that, so I merely curtsied as deeply as I could manage. Perhaps it is only another of my time-blurred fancies, but I thought I caught an instant's bemused surprise in those rain-colored eyes. Lord Elladan smiled again, bowing gracefully, and then he turned and was gone.
Afterwards I walked unthinking to the northeast gardens and sat on the ground with my back against an old tree. I had not slept for nearly an entire day and night, but I felt light, as if my bones were hollow and my thoughts were spun of air. Several minutes passed before I realized I still had all the black cloth markers looped over my left arm. I slipped them from my sleeve and counted them, laid them on the ground beside me, and counted them again.
He had done what we could not. I closed my eyes, and the evening air burned its sweetness into my chest with every breath I took.
I blinked. My back was ridged with soreness and my head felt like a metal weight.
"I'm sorry! I didn't think you were sleeping."
"I was not asleep," I protested, rubbing a hand over my face. Crouched before me on the grass was the young soldier. The first thing I noticed was that he had removed the dressings from his forehead.
"All right," he smiled.
"I wasn't."
He settled himself beside me, sitting with his knees drawn up against his chest, a position that made him look very much like a small boy. "You must like gardens. Every time I meet you, you seem to be sitting in one."
"Only twice." I stood up to shake the stiffness from my legs and to rub at my lower back. For some odd reason, I did not wish him to know quite how glad I was to see him. I had learned to guard my grief, and so perhaps it felt only natural to shield my joy, as well.
"You must like gardens," he repeated, a gleam in his eye. "For you are a healer, and surely you love to care for all things, and watch them grow."
"You must have some very strange notions about healers, sir," I replied with a lift of my brow. He laughed—that short, peculiar bark of a laugh that he seemed to carry with him. "And because you are a soldier, I suppose you like to cut things down, and that you love everything that is sharp and bloody?" He did not laugh at that.
"I'm sorry," I began. "I should not have—"
"It's all right. Your meaning is well taken—never judge a healer."
It was quiet for a moment, and then I sat down before him. "And I will never judge a soldier. Agreed?"
He nodded slowly. "Very well." He busied himself with his leather bag. "Have you heard?" he asked, rather offhandedly.
"Heard about what?"
"About everything. All of it."
"Most likely not," I admitted.
"Then I have a great many stories to tell you, if you would like to hear."
"Very well; and I have some stories for you, as well." I was relieved that he did not seem angry with me.
I leaned back against the tree, and he told me first of Mordor's great beasts and war-engines, and of the monstrous battering-ram that had broken down the gates, and of the ride of the Rohirrim, and the death of King Théoden by the hands of the Black Captain. Then he told me of the woman who had ridden to the battle as a man, and the strange little creature from the North whom she had brought with her.
"They are in the Houses at this very moment, I think!" I put in. "Ioreth has told me about them."
"Yes, they are here in the Sixth Circle." Last of all he told me of the army of pale specters who came to the aid of the West. I marveled silently as the fragments and rumors I had been hearing all day began to grow and take whole, solid form. He had some bread and cheese in his bag, and he shared that with me while I told him about the new healers who had come to our City, and about the Elf-lord and how he had aided those whom the rest of us had left for dying. All told, the young soldier possessed the greater number of stories, but I held the advantage of having seen with my own eyes the ones I had told, and so we agreed that we were more or less equal on tale-telling counts.
"I can scarcely believe any of it," I admitted, "and yet all the same, it must be true."
"Aye," he agreed. "It feels like being on the ridge of some mountain, but not yet at its peak. We can see naught of the great stone mass, save for the bit on which we stand at this very moment."
"If it is like that, then we will not be able to see the entire mountain until we have come down altogether, and are very far away indeed." He nodded his concurrence, and we ate in companionable silence for a few minutes. The next time he spoke, his voice was low and hesitant.
"That Lord Elladan, whom you told me about…do you suppose he might have helped Tar', as well?"
"No." My reply was so quick that it hung in the air between us almost before he had finished his question. I should have allowed for a greater pause to show him that I had at least considered it. He bit his lip and stared at me again, that same sharp blue stare that had compelled me to lead him to the Warden the day before. But this time I matched his gaze. A "yes," or even a "perhaps" would have started him down a winding, poisonous path of might-have-beens, and I thought I should try to keep him from that road. Strange, the notion that a young girl should desire to protect a trained soldier, but the thought stood resolute in me. It must have shown on my face, as well, for at the last he did not question me further. He simply gave a slow nod and turned away to stare at some undetermined point in the distance.
Then he stood up. "I need to return to work," he said quietly.
"Me, too," I replied, finally realizing that I had lost track of time once more. We were perched on the perilous mountain ridge, after all, and there was still much to be done. "Thank you again."
"The pleasure was mine," he smiled, and turned to go. As he did, something else occurred to me.
"Wait," I said. "You'd better tell me your name. In case I see you again."
He stopped and looked thoughtful, as if this were information that he did not impart to everyone. "Very well. But promise not to laugh."
"Why would I laugh?"
"Because it's 'Beren.'"
"That's a fine name."
He made a face, and once more he seemed very young. "My mother had romantic sensibilities. You should have heard all the teasing when I was a lad; you know how boys are." He sighed, then grinned again. "Tar' was the worst, actually. He never stopped, even when all the others outgrew it."
"He was faithful, then."
"Faithful," he laughed. "I suppose so." He reached down and took my hand and pressed it tightly. I thought that if I tried hard enough, I might memorize the pattern of calluses on his palm and the way in which he curled his fingertips inward. "Take care."
"And you, as well."
After he had left, I shook my head. "Beren," I said to myself, and went off to find the Warden again.
"Lord Faramir is very kind," Elloth was saying to me. "And," she added, leaning conspiratorially over the table, "very handsome." She considered the cards in her graceful hand for a moment before making her play. "Your turn."
I blinked at my own hand for less than a second before setting down my own card of choice. I was playing mechanically, without any thought; it hardly mattered, however, because Elloth invariably beat me at cards, anyway. She seemed to have an uncanny sense for the balance of the deck, for the numbers and the workings of things. That, and a near-flawless memory for small objects. The herbalists were supposed to keep a detailed tally of every quantity of every item that entered and exited the dispensary. Most staff members made marks as they worked, but Elloth wrote down all of her notes at the end of each of her shifts, as if she were recalling the lines of a favorite poem. She never made a mistake. I had attempted, on several occasions, to slip a flask or a bit of some obscure root from the shelf while her back was turned, to see if I could throw off her perfect count, but somehow these silent subtractions always seemed to end up in her notes, as well. It was rather unnerving, and more than a little irritating.
"I was sent in to his rooms to give him his breakfast, today," she said, "only due to the absence of the maid-servants, of course. And when he thanked me, he also asked me my name, and my position, and how I had been faring here." She laid down another card. "Very courteous and soft-spoken—much more a gentleman or a scholar than a warrior, I should think."
I nodded mutely. Elloth's speaking voice was really quite pleasant, and when I stepped back from my mind and let the words blend into one another like meaningless sounds, her continuous talk was actually somewhat soothing.
It was my turn again: spades. Today a number of us had gone down to the lower circles and seen where the stone had been wrecked and crushed like bread crumbs. There were corpses everywhere, men and orcs both, tangled on the ground. We could give no white shrouds to these ones; the only courtesy we could grant our fallen soldiers was not to burn them in the same fire as their enemies.
"…it has been said that the Steward always favored his elder son over his younger, but I cannot see how that could be, myself…"
"Check them for letters," one of the captains on the Second Circle said. Some of them had small rolls of paper tucked in the folds of their clothing: In the event of my death. The bodies were bloated from heat and time, their skins stretched taut in places. The air was full of smoke, and the smell was unbearable.
When I was a little girl I had sometimes gone down with my mother to the big, crowded, noisy market on this level. I always clutched her hand tightly because I was terrified of being lost. Today the only corner I could recognize was the place where the flower seller's stand had been; now there was the body of a man. He was on his back, eyes open and staring at the sky.
Elloth made her final play, and won. She did not smile, but took it all as a matter of course.
"Let me see your hand." I showed her my cards. "You were very close," she conceded. "Next time pay more attention to diamonds."
A group of surgeons had been sent down to assess the conditions of those survivors who could not be moved all the way up to the Houses. Valacar glanced over at me as I coughed convulsively into a handkerchief I was carrying. I had been holding it over my nose and mouth, but it was not doing me any good, and later I would throw it away.
"Once," he said quietly, "when I was a boy, there was a great storm. And in the morning, after the sea had rolled back again, there was a great mass of wreckage on the shore, snarled and twisted into itself."
I coughed again. My eyes were watering from the smoke and the smell. "Were there bodies, too?"
"No. But dead things; splintered wood and snaking ropes of seaweed. This all reminds me of that, somehow." He glanced at me again and shook his head quickly. "Well, I'm sorry. You didn't need to hear that, so I don't know why I told you. Here." He handed me another handkerchief and walked away. It was not until much later that I realized I had forgotten to ask him about Lord Aradîr.
For the following shift, Elloth was sent down to the Second Circle, and I remained in the Houses. When she returned, she did not ask to play cards again.
The Rohirrim fascinated me; I had never seen so many fair-haired men in one place before. They looked strong and loose-limbed when they moved, as if they were always making ready to spring astride their mounts, for Ioreth had told me that they practically lived in the saddle. At first I was timid around them, because for some reason I had always been terrified of horses, and these warriors seemed to live and breathe the beasts. But later I liked to speak with the men from the Mark whenever I got the chance; their speech had a lovely slow lilt to it, as if their voices themselves were rolling forwards over the distant plains of their country. Even the ones who were laid low with wounds, their backs propped against pillows, maintained a lift to their chins that was proud but not haughty. Mostly they were very polite, and never glanced away from you when you spoke to them.
So it was that the Warden found me after the card game, listening to a long-haired horseman while I changed the bandage on his leg. He had a daughter about my age, he was telling me, and I reminded him of her. Her hair was lighter than mine, and she was a fair bit taller than I was, and not quite so slender (with no offense meant to me, of course—I couldn't help it). But all the same, I reminded him of her. Perhaps something about the eyes…
Smiling, the Warden stood by the head of the man's bed and asked how he was faring, and then he moved over towards me and spoke very softly.
"When you finish with this man, you will go and speak to Lord Aradîr in his offices." I tied off another section of bandage and turned round to look at the Warden; the expression on his face did not invite me to ask any questions. "He's asked for you. That is all," he said. It seemed to me to be the sort of voice that mothers revert to when small children ask them where it is that infants come from.
I went to wash my hands and face and put on a clean smock, tracing the possibilities in my mind. The soldier who had propositioned me the night before was sitting on the edge of one of the beds in the south ward. His eyes went from his carving-knife to me, but I made a point of not looking at him as I passed. As I went by one of the entryways to the surgery corridor, I saw Valacar—this was odd, because he usually worked in the rooms to the center, not on the south end.
"Valacar," I said, "I've been called out to speak to—"
"Aradîr?" he finished for me.
I nodded. "And why might that be?"
Valacar sighed. He was looking more tired than usual, standing there in his grey coat. He should not wear that color, I thought—all of our surgeons wore grey, but on some men it looked like mourning. He glanced around once, quickly, and then moved closer to me and lowered his voice.
"You've done nothing wrong," he said, "but I may have made a mistake."
"What do you mean?"
"There are laws," he said, "concerning the taking of lives under various circumstances." One of the possibilities in my mind coiled itself up tightly as I remembered the dying soldier on Valacar's bench, the knife on the whetstone. "And some men tend to differ in the…interpretations of these laws. You should just protect yourself, if it comes to that."
"From who?" I asked. "Lord Aradîr?"
Valacar stepped back. "He's a powerful man," he remarked mildly, as if he were commenting on an excess of salt in his soup or a small cloud over the horizon. "I'm very sorry for this," he said, growing grave once more. "We'll talk later." He turned to go. "I'll not keep you any longer."
"Wait!" Bits of theories and recollections were spinning between my ears, but for some reason the one that seemed to matter least was the one that leapt to my throat at that moment. He looked back at me. His eyes were a shade lighter than his tunic.
"Earlier today," I began, "you said you had seen a wreck on the shore, when you were a boy. Where was that wreck?"
His careful surgeon's hands seemed to relax at his sides, momentarily. "That was in Dol Amroth." His voice was no longer urgent, but distant. "Where I grew up. My father sent me to the City to do the second part of my apprenticeship."
"Really?" I paused to take in this fact. "I never knew that. I had always assumed that you were one of us—that you were from Minas Tirith, I mean. Of course you're one of us," I groped awkwardly to correct myself. Valacar just gave a faint smile at that.
"It's the accent, I suppose," I explained. "I've never heard you speak with a coastal accent."
"I used to," he shrugged. "Some things are easy to unlearn."
I should tell Beren about the unlearning the next time I saw him, I thought as I left the Houses and stepped out on to the flagstones of the Sixth Circle. He seemed like he would be the type of person to appreciate it. The air was warm with sunlight and smoke, but my hands were cold.

Health Information Compliance & Privacy is responsible for ensuring that individually identifiable health information is handled appropriately across the entire University. Federal laws such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) as well as Minnesota laws require the University to manage this information in a certain way.
Health Information Compliance & Privacy provides direction and support to ensure compliance with these requirements through the development of guidelines and policies, and through training and awareness.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued revisions to some HIPAA regulations in 2013. Those revisions require vendors who may have access to PHI to enter into updated Business Associate Agreements with the University.

HIPAA and its regulations are designed to protect an individual's health information (referred to as PHI), and to restrict how PHI may be used and disclosed by health care providers, health plans and those accessing PHI in order to support the providers and plans.
The University is considered a "hybrid entity" under HIPAA, which means that the entire University is not subject to HIPAA. Only the University's health plans, its health care provider services, and those that may access PHI to support the plans or health care provider services are subject to HIPAA. These areas are referred to as "health care components." The University's health care components include the UPlan, Boynton Health Service, Community-University Health Care Center, the Julia M.

|Topological Quantum Field Theory and Strong Shift Equivalence
Given a TQFT in dimension $d+1,$ and an infinite cyclic covering of a closed $(d+1)$-dimensional manifold $M$, we define an invariant taking values in a strong shift equivalence class of matrices. The notion of strong shift equivalence originated in R.~Williams' work in symbolic dynamics. The Turaev-Viro module associated to a TQFT and an infinite cyclic covering is then given by the Jordan form of this matrix away from zero. This invariant is also defined if the boundary of $M$ has an $S^1$ factor and the infinite cyclic cover of the boundary is standard. We define a variant of a TQFT associated to a finite group $G$ which has been studied by Quinn. In this way, we recover a link invariant due to D.~Silver and S.~Williams. We also obtain a variation on the Silver-Williams invariant, by using the TQFT associated to $G$ in its unmodified form.

Duct Guard
Westside Wholesale aims to provide its customers with best possible products for creating safe and reliable ducting system in their homes, offices or stores. What modern duct work doesn't have a specifically designed guard to prevent dirt and unwanted objects from getting into the system? Offered at Westside Wholesale Duct Guards are designed to be used with 4", 6" and 8" diameter inlets and can be installed in both commercial and residential buildings.
Such devices offer first stage protection for each ventilation system by preventing dirt and debris from getting inside metal duct work. Not only are these items useful during installation, they also provide initial protection of flexible duct and other elements of the future system during transportation. Since nobody likes to spend precious time on cleaning the dirt from the duct work, it is easier and more efficient to prevent mud and loose objects from getting inside in the first place.
Offered at Westside Wholesale, Duct Guards are manufactured from zinc chromate plated steel. This means such products have enhanced durability and higher resistance to pollutants that come from the environment. It also means you don't have to worry about Duct Guard's preservation since it will last long enough to protect air inlets from dirt.
Installing such small devices in your duct line will spare it from damage that may come from loose objects accidently sucked in the ventilation system of your home. Such damage may lead to serious consequences, including replacing major elements of the system with new, undamaged ones. By taking precautious measures and installing Duct Inlet Guards in your duct work, you ensure the long life of your ventilation system and save money that would otherwise be spent on repair work.
Westside Wholesale offers high quality Wire Coil Inlet Guards of various diameters to make sure its customers get the best options to install in their duct lines. Affordable prices and fast shipping are yet other advantages of ordering such products from Westside Wholesale.
How to Select
How to select Duct Guard
Duct Guard is part of the ventilation supplies that helps to protect the system from loose objects, dirt and debris. Equipping your duct work with such accessory will ensure its safety and correct operation. The following guide will help you select the perfect duct guard to fit your needs.
The first and most important factor to consider when selecting a duct guard is its size. If such item is too small for the flexible ducting, it won't stop dangerous objects on their way to ventilation applications. This will result in their damage and possible reparations or even replacements. A larger guard, on the other hand, won't simply fit into the duct work. To know the duct guard of which size you need, measure the diameter of your duct work. The most common guards are compatible with 4", 6" or 8" diameter inlets.
The next factor to consider is the size of holes on the guard. The smaller such holes are the less dirt and loose objects will get into the system. However, be careful not to select the guard with the tiniest net. The only thing it will do is slow the air flow, which will result in reinforced operation of fans and other applications.
The material from which the guard is made is something to pay closer attention to. It needs to be temperature, pressure and water resistant to feature long-lasting operation. If your future duct guard is made from ordinary steel, it will soon be covered in rust and will need a replacement. To protect yourself from replacing the guard often, select the item that is made from zinc chromate plated steel. Such covering was designed to withstand harsh environments. In addition to that, zinc chromate plated steel is stronger and more durable.
When you have specified the diameter of your duct guard and the size of its holes, it is time to select the installation option. It all depends on where you want to install it and what applications will such guard protect. The principal locations for duct guard installation are the system's inlets. In order to double the protection, you can install the guard on outlets as well. This will ensure that no loose objects will escape from the system to damage the applications.
After considering all of the factors you may still have some questions about the duct guard. For example, is it possible to install a guard with the already existing system? In order to do that, you will need to free up the access to the inlet or outlet of the system, and ensure that you have all of the necessary mounting equipment to fix the guard.

Phoronix: Samsung Accidentally Leaked The exFAT Linux Driver
Last month there was news of a native Linux driver for Microsoft's exFAT file-system. It turns out that the driver wasn't developed through any clean-room reverse-engineering but was rather the apparent rebadging of a Samsung exFAT driver for Linux...
This is a blatant licence violation and Samsung has the right to go medieval on his ass. Will they? Probably not, but I'd expect a cease&desist pretty soon.
The cat's out of the bag, you can't put the genie back in the bottle... now all there is to see is what Samsung is gonna TRY to do.

Certain "Andrei F." went a bit too far with his actions for sure. Linux has inofficial exFAT driver, oh no!, it is SO bad, lets blabber loud how bad it is, lets take down git repo so Linux user can access exFAT - I mean its written for Linux kernel (Android) and hereby illegal!
Certain "Andrei F." is Pavlik Morozov and deserves the same fate.
What an ass.
If anything, there's a chance someone will go over the code and write "supposedly white room" specs which one of the FOSS driver will then go on to use. I even suspect the specs could be released anonymously since the burden of proof doesn't lay on the accused*, but on the plaintiff*. In this case Microsoft will need to sue John Doe for the violation, at which point a FSF rep could testify the specs could have been made legitimately.
*Yeah, I know it's not criminal court. But it sounds better
I'd rather see exFAT burn in hell with its patents, it's sad that we see this attempt instead.

This was one of the first books that made me understand what a revolution we were heading into. I read it in 93 and was so easy to understand. It gave me a great insight into nano technology and the applications of the nano world bots. Also it gave rise to the dangers we are to be facing if we stray from the controls of these powerful creatures and creations.

Applications now open to Connecticut young professionals to Crash the 2014 CUNA GAC!
The Credit Union League of CT is partnering with the Cooperative Trust and Credit Union National Association (CUNA) to make the 2014 "Crash the GAC" event bigger and better than ever.
For this year's Government Affairs Conference (GAC) in Washington D.C., Feb 23‐27, CUNA and the Cooperative Trust are looking to send one young professional from each state and the District of Columbia to Crash the event. In addition to the core schedule of GAC events, crashers will take part in exclusive sessions that will provide a greater focus on credit union advocacy and activities that can help to grow and promote credit unions on the state and federal level.
Each crasher will receive a full conference registration, courtesy of CUNA, and a Cooperative Trust membership. Travel, hotel and food costs are the responsibility of the crasher and their credit union but the CT League will be providing up to $2000 for travel and hotel costs.
More information can be found at and applications are due by December 17, 2013. If you have any questions, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or the Cooperative Trust at email@example.com.
Please join us for a webinar to discuss Prize-Linked Savings (PLS) opportunities in Connecticut on Wednesday, December 18, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
To register please contact Susan O'Loughlin at firstname.lastname@example.com.
During the 2013 legislative session, the CT General Assembly passed a bill that allows credit unions to offer savings promotion raffles – savings products that offer prizes in order to incent increased savings activity. Connecticut is the 8thstate to pass similar legislation, following in the footsteps of Nebraska, Rhode Island, Washington, North Carolina, Maryland, Maine, and Michigan.As financial institutions, you are acutely aware of the importance of savings as part of someone's financial portfolio.
The webinar will feature Doorways to Dreams Fund, a national non-profit that has been providing technical assistance, advice, and evaluation for PLS products around the country. In this webinar, we will cover:
- The basics of PLS
- Overview of Connecticut law
- Success/Impact in other states
- Implementation considerations/how-tos
Please join us for a great conversation. Attending this webinar is not considered to be an indication of commitment to offer the product – the goal of the meeting is to get a shared understanding of the opportunity, discuss options in Connecticut, and see what credit unions would like to explore a prize-linked savings product. Please share this invitation with any relevant staff or other credit union partners.
For more information about savings promotion raffles/prize-linked savings products, the experience in Michigan with Save to Win, and additional new research, please visit

ORMS jazz instructor leads Boston Pops
Friday, February 1, 2013
DURHAM — Standing backstage at the Verizon Wireless Arena watching Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart having just gone into the very piece, "Sleigh Ride," he was there to conduct, Oyster River Middle School jazz band instructor, Dave Ervin, let his mind wander to what it would be like if he had to conduct the piece at Symphony Hall in Boston.
"It was wild," he said.
Two weeks and 600 votes from a supportive community later, he stood before revered musicians.
He found out he was nominated by at least two of his students, all of whom, he said, are very proud of him for emerging as the winner.
"It was just so much fun conducting the Boston Pops," he said.
He wasn't quite sure what to expect when he took the stage at the Verizon Wireless Arena in December. An assistant had been assigned to him to help the evening run smoothly.
But when Lockhart didn't skip a beat from one piece to the next, Ervin began a mental scramble to wonder what would be next.
In an email he wrote to Foster's Daily Democrat, he said, "I stood in the wing calmly awaiting for the moment of my life."
He said Lockhart's antics and relaxed method of handling the goof — conducting "Sleigh Ride" himself put him at ease.
Within moments, he was standing before the group of musicians — and Lockhardt himself — about to conduct the same song in his own way.
"As the song began, I remembered some of the more adventurous versions I had listened to in my research, and decided to follow their lead," he said.
He said he was unsure at first whether the group would follow his lead, but with a confident smile from a flautist, his doubts disappeared.
"There's always this pull and take," he said between conductors and the musicians who make up the band.
"You never really know what kind of control you're going to have," he said. "Orchestras are infamous for not agreeing with the conductor."
Ervin said he was perfectly happy to just go stand in front of them.
Every morning at 7:20, before the first bell for class sounds, students meet with Ervin in the music room, the same place they meet for two hours each Sunday, and where many spend lunch breaks during the school day just practicing and playing music.

what wine does is sorta like defining the underlying WDDM[but DX9 era] with virtual hardware that instead of go to metal convert it to Opengl Calls for which it actually have drivers.
what i mean with "the directx code is not runnable on linux at all"[add the below too] is that common code drivers are like this:
virtual function XyzGraphicOperationLowLevel(arg 1, arg2, arg3, customTypeA, OriginConditionalA){
//OS agnostic C/C++/gpu code
function ActualDirectXCall(arg 1, arg2, arg3){//Symbol hidden/removed on other OS except for windows
//Windows only Win32 API/WDDM
XyzGraphicOperationLowLevel(arg 1, arg2, arg3, Ver11, isDirectX);
//Directx specific code or minor differences
function ActualOpenglCall(arg 1, arg2, arg3){//Symbol available in any OS
//Windows only Win32 API/WDDM and Linux specific
XyzGraphicOperationLowLevel(arg 1, arg2, arg3, Ver43, isGLX);
//opengl specific code or minor differences
so both DirectX and OpenGL use XyzGraphicOperationLowLevel[shared code] and that function is on any driver regardless the OS but ActualDirectXCall[specialized Code] is only available with a windows OS driver but ActualOpenglCall[specialized Code] is available everywhere, the problem as you see is that ActualDirectXCall uses Windows specific API and need to be rewritten to support Posix API too and make the symbol available in Linux which may require many changes at kernel level API since linux and NT handle things very differently
i hope is more clear now
From looking at mesa, you've added ruvd as a new driver. Now, my question is why.
I understand wanting to share code, of course, but wondered why creating a new driver was the way to go.
Thus far, the other drivers seem to be focused on complete devices (even if virtual), not subsets of device functionality.
I'm sure I'm missing something here...
Yes, two drivers. Not sure of current names but something like atidxx32.dll and atioglxx.dll...
What do you mean by FX ?

2.) You say i can't implement just only the HLSL compiler to Wine?
a.) you can but the result should be able to be interpreted by OpenGL since you don't have an DirectX driver and a compiler is lower than the wine DirectX layer and wine translate to opengl anyway
b.) you can use specific IR like AMDIR/nVIR/TGSI/Etc. but then you have to manually handle how the context will interpret and link the shader to a GL object inside the framebuffer since again you don't have a DirectX driver
c.) make a DirectX driver yourself, patch wine and add the compiler to the driver

Please note that as of October 24, 2014, the Nokia Developer Wiki will no longer be accepting user contributions, including new entries, edits and comments, as we begin transitioning to our new home, in the Windows Phone Development Wiki. We plan to move over the majority of the existing entries. Thanks for all your past and future contributions.
Notes Usability
Notes display short messages to the user. Usually a note is displayed on the screen for a few seconds, but the user can also dismiss it sooner. In graphical user interfaces, a Notes is a special window, used in user interfaces to display information to the user.
Depending on your requirement, design an application in such a way that note can show meaningful message
Confirmation note is used to show successfully completed operation. The symbol at right side of dialog confirm the user that operation completed successfully. Use confirmation note when the effect of the operation cannot be seen directly by user.
Confirmation note should NOT be used when:
1. There is already another dialog in the procedure.
2. A progress indication is visible during the procedure.
3. The user can see the result of the operation when it is performed. For example, when adding or removing objects in a list.
4. A setting has been changed. The new value of the setting is visible in the setting item.
Information note is used to show an unexpected situation occur in application. An information note should be used when an error that can be rectified occurs. Information note can note be used to show error message.
Warning notes can be used to notify user about some action. It should also play a warning tone. for example battery is low.
Use Error notes if the user does something that may cause considerable harm immediately or later. e.g., when the user gives a wrong PIN code. Repeating this a couple of times would block the SIM card.
Use wait note when you are doing processing that take long time. It does not, however, indicate how long the processing will take. it should provide option for user to cancel the operation, if they choose. for example connecting to remote server. provide a softkey to cancel the processing, if user want.
Progress notes is also used to show the processing that take long time. it also indicate how much processing has been done and how much is still left. it should provide option for user to cancel the operation, if they choose.for example downloading data from remote server.

How to take a screenshot with the iPhone
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have moved the sleep/wake button to a new location, but you can still take screenshots as easily as ever. And yes, while this might be second-nature to some, Apple doesn't tell you how to take a screenshot out of the box. So, not everyone may yet know that they can capture their iPhone screen content with just the touch of a button (well, two buttons actually).
To take a screenshot with your iPhone or iPod Touch, press and hold the sleep/wake button and then click the Home button. You can do it the other way around, but if you're trying to take a screenshot of you rLock screen, Touch ID might kick in and ruin it for you.
If you nail the timing, the screen will flash and you'll hear the same camera shutter sound that the Camera app makes when you take a photo.
To access and share your screenshots go to Photos and open Recent Photos. They'll be the latest ones added!
Here's a video showing all the screen capture steps:

How to take a screenshot with the iPhone
I figured this out the first week the 2.0 software and new iphone launched. At first i thought there was a glitch in the phone... FREAKED ME OUT.... I work for ATT and i finaly figured out that it did this when i was setting up the iphone for a customer. Not really sure why they put this but it sure does come in handy when you find something really cool and want to show your friends.
@RsB: not sure how your buddy didn't figure it out. When you tap on an image within the camera roll each finger tap to the screen displays and turns off the "camera roll header and footer" with the controls. Dragging the image would have moved it to the next image in line if there were one. If he double taps the image, the image will zoom. He must have not have had any experience with an iPhone before.
I couldnt because I'm dumb
Yafrgtfoyahiwkya f u
I actually did as I was trying to shut off my phone
Ummmm... U can actually take accidental screen shots. I have done it for months and I just googled it today after seeing like 12 pictures of my lock screen.
Lots of Fantastic information in your posting, I favorited your blog so I can visit again in the future, Thanks
My 20 month old was taking screen shots on my phone by accident, and I could never figure out how he did it lol. Love this feature, Thanks! :)
This method is not working with an iPhone 3gs and software 4.0. Pressing the two buttons simultaneously brings up the shut down screen.
That's what "simultaneously" means, moron.
Don't hold them down, just press both, for a second
Please don't refer to women as bitches. It is disrespectful. Also, consider reviewing the proper use of your vs you're.
Bitch, bitch, beyatch, bitch.
If it looks like a bitch, sounds like a bitch, and acts like a bitch, it's a bitch.
You are (you're) a bitch too!
The two of my Labs take pleasure in apples, carrots, melon, and squash as snacks.
Uhh i just got smarter :-) dident know it could do this.. thanks
My 3 year old niece took a screen shot and I had no idea how she did it. Thanks :)
tnx for your simple but great info...
worked great for me!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
This is perfect for taking shots of text messages to use in court!
This was so helpful! It also works on iPhone 4
Please let me know how to get this application.
Couldn't get it to work on iphone4. mmm? But hey Matt. You were right. Thank you so much. Pity they couldn't get it right in the first place.
Just press the home button and "lock" button at the exact same time... Works everytime.
awesome!!!.. just TOO FEW people know this!
4s Verizon can't find the screenshot as listed above once taken
Worked for me! Thanks
Is there an app cause my sleep button is jam. And I can't screenshot.
If you have the upgraded iPhone4 you have to click home then the lOck screen:) but keep the home button down till after you press the lock:)
comment #
comment #1 worked for me, but it took a few times to get it right. Don't give up on a few tries. That is Igodtaswag that is.
Thank you for sharing. I have accidentally made a screenshot and now I know how to make new ones. Thank you again!
Life saver
I love this feature! Thanks, forgot how to take a screenshot, Googled and found your site. Simple ;)
Well I don't what 2 say
I don't know
Wow the coupons are awesome.Working fine on my new Compete account.
I have tried this on my 4s and it only works sporadically.
Does anyone else have this problem and does anyone have a solution please?
I have a 4s too. Never had a problem until recently.
Ha, I just had to look this up because while trying to perform a hard reset of my iTouch I snapped a screenshot and was like "WTF why did my camera just go off"? Never even thought to think that there was a way people were doing those screenshots on Twitter LOL
Just signed up to say thanks. Really appreciate the tip on screen shots!
When I take a screenshot with my iPhone the photo shutter snaps but when I go and try to retrieve the photo, no photo appears in my camera roll why?
Try doing a hard reset. Hold the top button and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears. Then release.
I used to make screenshots for iPhone with my camera... this article really helps as I can work it out in more convenient way. Also, from another article I learn that you may project your iPhone screen onto your computer. In this way, you can create and manage multiple screenshots more easily on a PC (http://screenshot.net/howto-screenshot-iphone.html). Not sure if this tip will help.

FA: United

Fur Affinity: United (also known as FA: United or FA:U and briefly known as Unleashed!) is a furry convention held in New Jersey, USA. "United" was chosen as the convention's title to reflect Fur Affinity and the Northeast Anthropomorphic Association's goal to help strengthen the Furry community's bond.
The convention focuses on live music and entertainment, hosting rock bands such as the Gay Blades during the convention.
FA: United[edit]
Headed by Shy Matsi, the Northeast Anthropomorphic Association (a non-profit 501(c)7 based in New Jersey) partnered with Fur Affinity began planning for a new convention in the New Jersey region in 2005 following Anthrocon's announced move from Philadelphia, PA to Pittsburgh.
The convention was held August 10-12th, 2007 at the Ramada Newark Airport International (now Wyndham Garden Hotel Newark Airport) in Newark, New Jersey.[1].
- Attendance: 310
- Fursuit parade count: 25
- Guests of Honor: Blotch and Roxikat
- Charity: $1,600[2] to the Lakota Wolf Preserve[3]
- Featured bands: The Gay Blades, Sikamor Rooney, Zsa Zsa Gabortion and the Back Alley McBeals (led by staff member Sox Pup)
- More "founding member" sponsorships were purchased than regular sponsorships. "Founding Members" received a free, limited-edition "Fur Affinity" USB flash drive.
- Cake was the first active fursuit at FA: United.
- The con bag handed out at registration contained "FA Bucks," gift certificates which could be redeemed in the Dealer's Room or convention store for cash.
- All bands performed for free on the condition drinks would be on the house. [citation needed]
FA: United 2 (2008)[edit]
FA: United 2, "The Power of Rock", (dubbed FA:U2 as a play on the band name) took place August 1-3rd, at the Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott.
- Attendance: 381 (14 international)
- Fursuit parade count: 26
- Guests of Honor: Fluke and SolidASP
- Charity: $1,820 to the New Jersey SPCA[4]
- Featured bands: Gay Blades (at Opening Ceremonies), The Press, Shitty Grape Lollipops[5]
Due to financial issues, partly because of the ongoing economic recession, a standard size convention would not be feasible. This was to be compromised, however, with a "weekend party/cook out with music, booze and more" furmeet (which was considerably cheaper), to be held at the Pine Creek Miniature Golf course in Ringoes, NJ. This was given the codename "FA: United 2.5" to bridge the gap between FAU2 and 3. But thanks to unfavorable weather conditions, scheduling problems, and disagreements FA: United 2.5 ultimately did not get off the ground, and thus 2009 was left without any organized activity for FA:U.
In recent years the convention has shifted from being operated by FA United LLC (A limited liability company in the state of New Jersey (filing no. 0600336301)) to being operated by Ferrox Art LLC, who owns and hosts Fur Affinity. This change has been reflected on the convention's website[6] and legal forms[7].

These photos are from a workshop held at Lake Como Elementary School as part of the OUC AWESOME Project. Students worked in teams to design and build green roofs. In order for their green roof to be deemed a success, they had to lower the internal temperature of the apartment building, ensure it was leak-free and gather some of the rainfall into a cistern. Students worked within a budget to buy the materials for their creation.
The OUC AWESOME Project is a five-year initiative that is a partnership between Orlando Utilities Commission and Orlando Science Center. This initiative allows the Science Center to reach every fifth grader in OUC's service territory with messages surrounding water efficiency and renewable energies. This year, the Science Center upgraded the program to incorporate STEM and 21st-century learning skills.

The African American Experience
For Black History Month, we call attention to the best recent books for youth centered on the African American experience. The theme, "African Americans and the Civil War", honors efforts to destroy slavery and inaugurate universal freedom in the U. S. and is reflected in one way or another in all these books.
The Cruisers by Walter Dean Myers
A Civil War project divides a class in a Harlem school into Confederate and Union sympathizers, and a group of slackers are assigned to mediate peace. Friends Zander, Kambui, LaShonda, and Bobbi, caught in the middle of the mock Civil War at DaVinci Academy, learn the true cost of freedom of speech when they use their alternative newspaper, The Cruiser, to try to make peace.
Finding Family by Tonya Bolden
Real period photos frame this novel set in 1905 Charleston, West Virginia. Raised by her grandfather and aunt on off-putting tales of family members she has never met, twelve-year-old Delana is shocked when, after Aunt Tilley dies, she learns the truth about her parents and some of her other relatives. Booklist says, "Much more than just a tale of finding oneself or one's family, this novel is a powerful, unique and satisfying story of African American lives."
Frederick Douglass: a noble life by David A. Adler
When, in 1879, a bust in his likeness was placed at the University of Rochester, Frederick Douglass wrote: "Incidents of this character do much amaze me. It is not, however, the height to which I have risen, but the depth from which I have come that amazes me." This biography tells the story of his ascent from slavery.
Odetta, the Queen of Folk by Stephen Alcorn
This picture book biography weaves together themes of inequality that shaped folk music pioneer Odetta.
One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia
In the summer of 1968, 11-year-old Delphine and her two sisters travel to Oakland, California, where they try to reconnect with their estranged mother, a poet with ties to the Black Panthers.
Spies of Mississippi: the true story of the spy network that tried to destroy the Civil Rights Movement by Rick Bowers
In the 1950s and 1960s, the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission compiled secret files on more than 87,000 private citizens in the most extensive state spying program in U.S. history. Its mission: to save segregation. An eye-opening revelation, Booklist calls this "flat out chilling".
They Called Themselves the K. K. K.: the birth of an American terrorist group by Susan Campbell Bartoletti
Searing account of the Ku Klux Klan's formation after the Civil War in Pulaski, Tennessee. This well-illustrated history was chosen by Booklist as the 2010 Top of the List winner for Youth Nonfiction.
Zora and Me by Victoria Bond
A fictionalized telling of Zora Neale Hurston's childhood with her best friend Carrie, in Eatonville, Florida, as they learn about life, death, and the differences between truth, lies, and pretending. Includes a short biography of the author and information about Eatonville.

Abe wants to get rid of diagnose for tanking gr because of the several down falls that it has. Diagnose not only heals too little but also has the longest cool down time. Furthermore, it consumes too much stamina in one go anyways along with sand. Its like trying to dps with hack and shark.
So with the help of iFaiji we gave it a go.
Kiter's set:
Back up healer's set:
Everyone else's set:
For this run, because I am very familiar with his way of kiting gr, I chose to drop meat and bring another attack instead. I also brought Sweetheart ring and count it as a buff. This, however, resulted in having 2 buff mules. It also happened that our adrener brought wish but it wasn't needed at all. You can play around with the ring sets for Back up healer an everyone else but you need to have a lot of trust towards each other. Most of the time, back up healer healed tanker with raged bandage and r1 wish.
Tanker brought those three passives because the extra willpower from those passives would help not only with the sanding but also reducing the damage tanker receive.Wish is really helpful in accumulating more aggro points. Because tanker also kited the room, the rest of crew members would likely already taken damage and by using raged wish from a safe distance to blow heal them, tanker accumulated plenty of aggro points.
Except tanker set, you can play around with everyone's ring set. For instance,
Back Up healer set: wish, band, fitness/integ, meat + 2 non rageable buffs + 2 attack rings
Back Up Back Up healer set: wish, 2 non rageable buffs, fitness/integ, qs/band + 3 attack rings or 4 attack rings
Adrener: Adren,1 non rageable buff, 1 rageable buff, integ/fitness, 4 attack rings or 1 passive + 3 attack rings
Knifer: Knife, 1 non rageable buff, 1 rageable buff, integ/fitness, 4 attack rings or 1 passive + 3 attack rings
Buff Mule: 2 non rageable buffs, 1 rageablle buff, integ/fitness, 4 attack rings or 1 passive + 3 attack rings
Give it a go!

Why was "tantrum" trending last week?
Old English bendan "to bend a bow; confine with a string, fetter," causative of bindan "to bind," from Proto-Germanic base *band- "string, band" (cf. Old Norse benda "to join, strain, strive, bend"), from PIE root *bhendh- "to bind" (cf. Gothic bindan, Old High German bintan, Sanskrit badhnati "binds," Lithuanian bendras "partner;" Old Persian bandaka- "subject").
Modern sense (early 14c.) is via notion of bending a bow to string it. Cognate with band, bind, and bond. Related: Bended; bent; bending.
"a bending or curving," 1590s; "thing of bent shape," c.1600, from bend (v.). Earlier "act of drawing a bow" (mid-15c.). The bends "decompression pain" first attested 1894.
"broad diagonal band in a coat-of-arms, etc.," c.1400, from earlier sense of "thin, flat strap for wrapping round," from Old English bend "fetter, shackle, chain," from PIE *bhendh- (see bend (v.)).
bend (běnd)
v. bent (běnt), bend·ing, bends

city, seat (1916) of Deschutes county, central Oregon, U.S. It lies along the Deschutes River, in the eastern foothills of the Cascade Range (west), and is bordered by Pilot Butte (east). Laid out in 1904, the community grew after the Deschutes Irrigation and Power Company opened farmland for settlement in 1909. Vast timber resources influenced a railroad boom (1911), sawmills were built, and wood industries developed. Bend is now the headquarters for the Deschutes National Forest and is a centre for tourism because of its proximity to lakes, lava beds, caves, and mountain and ski resorts. Central Oregon Community College was established there in 1949.
