License protection with a tamper-resistant token
Chong, Cheun Ngen and Ren, Bin and Doumen, Jeroen and Etalle, Sandro and Hartel, Pieter H. and Corin, Ricardo (2004) License protection with a tamper-resistant token. [Report]

Abstract: | Content protection mechanisms are intended to enforce the usage rights on the content. These usage rights are carried by a license. Sometimes, a license even carries the key that is used to unlock the protected content. Unfortunately, license protection is difcult, yet it is important for digital rights management (DRM). Not many license protection schemes are available, and most if not all are proprietary. In this paper, we present a license protection scheme, which exploits tamper-resistant cryptographic hardware. The condentiality and integrity of the license or parts thereof can be assured with our protection scheme. In addition, the keys to unlock the protected content are always protected and stored securely as part of the license. We veriy secrecy and authentication aspects of
one of our protocols. We implement the scheme in a prototype to assess the performance. |

Django Unchained: Jamie Foxx looks good on a horse and Christoph Waltz's coat is really cool
I've got many thoughts about Quentin Tarantino's film Django Unchained. Maybe I'll need more than one blog post. Anyway, here goes. I really do like that capey coat that Christoph Waltz wears while playing dentist/bounty hunter King Shultz.

Quote:With this much extra time on their hands and with a lot more manpower than lonely Quantomas it shouldn't be really that impossible to implement something that so many fans ask for.
Quote:Quote:Whilst I agree it is good news in the long run, it drives me mad with curiosity why. General polish and improvement. In other words: to maximise the fun in the game as well as functionality.

Quote:Quote:What do you think what will we get tomorrow as "the big Friday update"? Michael pictures, of course. Guess why?
Quote:Lol the rate of this game they probably will ...no kidding btw... Also h6 was indeed postponed 5 months to polish the game. Though the reasons are vague I mamged to piece together the truth from the scraps of info given. Half of ubisoft was enthralled by michael and stand in awe as he's slowly being pieced together, while the other half mad-ridden by these thralls of michael form the anti-michael league and infighting ensues. Communication between black hole and ubisoft cease completely, unfuriated by this black-hole aimed to get the mobs working again (how exactly is unkown) but failed miserably. Now the only hope of getting this game out is the completion of Michael, so troll him not but pray that his completion is soon or heroes 6 will never come out...honestly Michael is worth 5months of delay! If I got something wrong please let me or my representatives know. thank you for your patience were doing the best we can with what were given.

We're Off to Canadia and then on to Acadia
Trip Start
Jun 13, 2009
Trip End
Jul 03, 2009
Where I stayed
Bronte Creek Provincial Park
! There was of course NO free parking, so being cheap skates, we refused to pay $18 for parking and drove the strip very slowly. We were able to find an open metered slot and we pulled into it and parked for a couple minutes to dash to the other side of the road and take some photos, then we were back on our way to our next stop... Toronto. It was starting to get dark so we decided we better find some place to sleep for the night and there were no rest stops, but there was camping at a Provincial Park. After getting off at the exit for the picnic area and getting back on the expressway and getting off at the next exit we finally found the camping area for Bronte Creek Provincial Park. It was worth the search, all for the super hot park ranger manager; Madeline's only question was, was it worth her $37.50 (the most expensive accommodations we will have the whole trip, unless something crazy happens). We were assigned a campsite and we hurried off to pitch the tent. After we had settled into the tent and were starting to drift off, Madeline started seeing intermittent lights shining around the tent, being momentarily freaked-out, she pointed this out to Sigrid who informed her that they were lightning bugs, a.k.a. fireflies. Awesome!
Well today did not start on a high note... because Madeline had a sun burn and wasn't used to them (like Sigrid), so she was not feeling well. It looked like we might have to put our trip on hold for a day or two till Madeline got better, but miraculously, with Sigrid's care, Madeline was feeling better by lunch time and we were able to start our drive into Canada through Port Huron. So we bid farewell to Orson and Olive, Terri's two cats who comforted us when we missed our kitties and were on our way. We didn't realize it was so easy to get across the border, even with all the talk of passports and such, but alas a few simple questions, not even a glance at our passports and we were on our way. We needed gas, so we stopped at a station off the road, which looked really old, a guy came out and pumped our gas for us, and the bill... Our fill-ups in the US so far have been around $30! After our gas-shock, we were on our way again headed for Niagara Falls (everyone told us it was better on the Canadian side). When we got into the town of Niagara Falls we thought we were in hollywood, there were ridiculous tourist traps and big motels and people everywhere

if I trust you for 3 min today and three min more tomorrow and thre more min the next day, how do I write a formula to figure out how long I have trusted you for in , lets say, 23 days?
This is an Arithmetic Progression (AP).
An Arithmetic Progression is something like
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or
2,4,6,8,10,12, or
9,12,15,18,21,24 or
16, 13, 10, 7...........
where the difference between two successive terms is the same.
This is called 'd' or common difference.
If 'a' is the first term of an AP and 'd' is the common difference,
the nth term would be a+(n-1)d
In your case, d is 3 minutes. n is 23, and a is also 3.
Therefore, on the 23rd day, you have trusted me for
3 + (23-1)3 = 3 + (22)3 = 3 + 66 = 69 minutes.
If you require the sum of all the terms, the formula is
n/2 [2a+(n-1)d]
In the example given by you, it would be
23/2 [6 + 22(3)] = 23/2[6+66] = 23/2[72]=23*36 = 828 minutes
Is that clear?
Character is who you are when no one is looking.

I was born in Plantation, Florida, but spent most of my life living in a suburb of Chicago. I'm thrilled to be back in the Sunshine State!
Before coming to 10 News I worked as a morning anchor and reporter for WAND-TV in Decatur, Illinois. There I produced a weekly franchise piece featuring interesting people and places throughout our viewing area. Great fun! Before that, I worked as an AM Radio reporter and anchor in Champaign, Illinois.
As far as hobbies go, movies, movies, movies! As you may have guessed, I'm a film buff. If I'm not watching flicks, you can find me running through the Tampa - St. Pete area, or exploring its fine eateries. Food and flicks, can't go wrong.
I have been honored by the Associated Press for my local reporting during the 2012 summer Olympics.
Tampa is incredible. It melds beautiful weather with an ever expanding tapestry of cultures. My favorite part? Exploring those cultures, breathing the air by the Bay and by the Gulf, feeling the sand on my feet.

Masha ist eine sehr herzliche, freundliche, entgegenkommende und angenehme Gastgeberin und das ruhige Zimmer mit geräumigen tollen Bad und der phänomenalen Dachterrasse sind 5 Sterne wert! Wir haben uns sehr sehr wohl gefühlt. Und (kleiner Tipp) unbedingt die Pizzeria Picnic gleich unten an der Hauptstraße besuchen! Gerne wieder! Vielen Dank, Jörn und Heidi
What a beautiful, comfortable, and friendly place to stay! After 2 weeks in cramped hotel rooms, this adorable home with the large bedroom, spacious bathroom, and breathtaking view off the balcony was our much needed retreat! Marsha was a gracious hostess and thoughtful of our every need. She provided the perfect amount of hospitality and privacy during our time in her home and shared with us all the local "secrets." She also secured for us a reservation for a wine tasting and food pairing at the local SAIO Winery for the day after we arrived, all we had to do was show up! If you are looking for a quaint, quiet stay, with all the comforts of home, breathtaking views and friendly hospitality, this is your place!
Nous avons été accueillis par Marsha comme des amis. Elle nous a donnés des conseils précieux pour organiser notre périple. Sa maison est située de façon idéale pour visiter Assise , en dormant au calme au milieu des oliviers. N'oubliez pas d'aller sur la terrasse pour admirer la vue magnifique !
We were greeted warmly, and any questions we had about points of interest were answered with reliable comments and/or an information pamphlet. The neighborhood is classic rural Assisi where one wakes to roosters crowing and the music of field birds. There was a panoramic view of the Umbria valley from our room and private terrace, where where the sunsets were spectacular.
Dear Masha, thank you for the most wonder stay in Umbria. You could not have been more accomadating. Your "little piece of heaven" away from the madding crowds of Assissi was exactly what we needed. Thank you for the trouble you went to sending my box home and the great local restaurants you pointed us to. The room and balcony certainly did not disappoint, the view is etched into my mind forever. The accommodation was spacious and very comfortable. Ann and I both send our love and gratitude Tracy
Staying at Marsha's place was ideal. Her two spacious rooms and the huge bathroom was brilliant. Access to the upstairs outside terrace added extra room to rest after some long days. Marsha's very generous breakfasts and willingness to assist with tourist was very helpful. This included recommendations to two amazing restaurants. Definitely highly recommend Marsha's place for any length of stay. Marsha is a lovely host who respects your privacy and is there to help you when needed.
Thank you for such a lovely, peaceful home were I could hang my hat! I enjoyed our conversations very much. I love your home, the view and the location! I hope to return next time I come to italy.
Thank you for the book :-) I realized I have taken a course from him on Saltspring Island when I first started painting! Will send you photos of my art show. Thank you again for all your help :-) Kind regards, Susanne
i grew up in the UK ,love the airbnb way of communicating worldwide and would like travellers to enjoy this treasure of a region called Umbria..

Dr Yoder is a great ear, nose and throat doctor who took the time to listen to me explain my issues and then he explained how he planned to remedy it. I am thankful for Dr Yoder and his help and recommend him to friends and family for their ear, nose, and throat needs.

Dr. Yoder is too old to be practicing. He bedside manner are horrible and he comes off as arrogant. I went to see him to get a tumor removed and he made a 4 inch incision 2 inches away from the tumor. Now, I have a 4 inches scar and my tumor was not completely removed and it grew back bigger than before. I wish I never went to see him. He did a really a poor job on on a simple procedure.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][1967089].votes_count ]]
I rated this Dr. very bad because he is not a good Dr. He removed my tonsils and in the procees he hit a blood vessel, which casued me to bleed for 2 weeks. I went to the hospital 4 times to stop the bleeding, when finally a Dr., not Yoder , made the decision to operate on me, with pressure from my parents. I also had a blood transfusion of 5 pints and I lost 6 weeks from work. This Dr. has no bad side manners, he thinks he can do no wrong, and he plays with people lives. I would never see him again if my life depended on it!

Cooperative UWB body area networking: channel measurement and diversity analysis
Chen, Yifan, Teo, Jianqi, Lai, Joshua, Gunawan, Erry, Low, Kaysoon, Soh, Cheongboon and Rapajic, Predrag (2008) Cooperative UWB body area networking: channel measurement and diversity analysis. In: 2008 IEEE 10th International symposium on spread spectrum techniques and applications. IEEE Conference Publications . Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc, Piscataway, NJ, USA, pp. 303-308. ISBN 9781424422036 (doi:10.1109/ISSSTA.2008.61)
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
We explore the application of cooperative communications in ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless body area networks (WBANs). Firstly, time-domain UWB channel measurements are presented for a sitting human subject. Important channel parameters such as the pathloss, power variation, power delay profile (PDP), and effective received power (ERP) cross-correlation are extracted and statistically analyzed. Armed with the model preliminaries, an intuitive measure is proposed to quantify the diversity gains in a single-relay, single-hop cooperative WBAN, which is defined as the number of independent paths that can be averaged over to detect symbols. Numerical results demonstrate the potential benefit of applying cooperative techniques in futuristic body-centric networks.

How To Become A Petroleum Engineer
How To Become A Petroleum EngineerA petroleum engineer must have at least a bachelor's degree in engineering, usually with studies that focused on oil and gas drilling and production. Many petroleum engineering students also seek out co-op engineering programs in order to gain hands-on experience while still in school.
How Long Does It Take To Become Petroleum Engineer?
It usually takes around 4-5 years to become a petroleum engineer. A bachelor's degree in Engineering typically takes 4 years, but may take 5 if the student participates in a co-operative program in order to gain work experience.
Educational Requirements
In order to become an entry-level petroleum engineer, individuals must possess a bachelor's degree in engineering. A bachelor's degree in engineering usually takes 4 years to complete, and the degree must be completed at an accredited university.
Like in other engineering disciplines, petroleum engineering students also frequently take co-op programs, where they might work for a petroleum engineering firm during certain semesters in order to gain real world experience as well as course credit. These programs typically add another 1-2 years to a standard 4 year bachelor's degree. Students who go through co-op programs generally have an easier time finding employment when they graduate, and it can also be an effective way to help finance their education.
Some petroleum engineers also obtain a masters' degree. A masters' degree is not necessary to become a petroleum engineer, but it can open up employment and advancement opportunities.

Job Outlook
Job Outlook
In 2010, there were 38,500 individuals employed as petroleum engineers in the United States. Job growth for petroleum engineers is projected at 26% from 2012-2022, meaning that there will be an additional 9,800 job positions created during that time period. The job growth of 26% for petroleum engineers far exceeded or surpassed the average national job growth rate of 11%.
However, these projections will be affected significantly be the rise and fall of oil prices in the coming years. Higher oil prices means oil companies will expand aggressively, leading to a greater push for innovation and new extraction methods, as well as further drilling operations. This means greater demand for petroleum engineers.
In addition to traditional careers in oil and gas, there is an emerging demand for petroleum engineering graduates in the fields of underground waste disposal, geothermal energy production, coal gasification, and environmental clean up.

Yasiel who? Juan Uribe was the story for the Dodgers last night, as he drove in seven runs in a 10-2 win over the Giants. Yes, seven of them.
Uribe went 3-for-5 on the night and finished a single short of the cycle. The 33-year-old had a two-run double in the second inning, a bases-clearing triple in the third inning, and a two-run homer in the seventh. He had one final chance at the cycle in the ninth inning, but struck out swinging against Jake Dunning. His seven RBI matched a career-high from June 19, 2004 as a member of the White Sox.
After compiling a lousy .199/.262/.289 batting line over the first two seasons of his three-year, $21 million deal with the Dodgers, Uribe is batting .280/.355/.455 with five home runs and 27 RBI through 187 plate appearances this season. Ned Colletti is vindicated.

Jacob Turner got his whittled down to size a bit by the Cardinals last night (the Feesh broadcasters have been referring to the larval triumverate as the "young guns," and I don't agree with Sigmund LaPierre that sometimes a good gun is just a good gun). It wasn't a full-blown debacle like the piece of shrapnel that dephallused Jake Barns and it wasn't as much of a mess as El Topo's castration of the Rabbit Master, but it still wasn't fun to watch. Will Turner be back on top by his next start? Isn't it pretty to think so.
The Feesh offense also lost tumescence against Jake Westbrook, speaking of the two Jakes, but the boolpen remained proudly erect against the Cardinals lineup the rest of the way. Tweeter went deep in the second.
Big concern: the Iron Giant doesn't seem to know how to make things happen at the plate anymore, and Marcell Ozuna couldn't get to first base either. Both are failing to perform. And yet, somehow, it's still looking like a long season.

Contrary to the prognostications of a certain Trolly McTrollerson, Porcello had a fine showing last night. Heck, the team had a fine showing — and Inge 2.0 made no errors. As a bonus, you could've made it through the whole game without knowing that Joe West was umpiring, he was so low key. Cleveland fans did a nice wave in the 8th, which was fun. I hope Craig enjoys such hilarity while at the game today. Go ahead, Craig; you can do it "ironically."

Awfully quiet on the Giants' bandwagon. Wasn't Uribe a Giant once? I seem to recall Uribe set to sign a free-agent contract with the Dodgers when the Giants stepped in to match it. Yet Uribe went ahead and signed with the Dodgers and Giants fans came on en-mass to say good riddance. Juan may go back to being ineffective/hurt/invisible, but he sure took out his frustrations on his old team.

Well more than 400 members of the Indy Racing League community, along with friends of motorsports, helped the Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation celebrate the sixth annual Racing to Recovery Gala benefiting former driver Schmidt's foundation and the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana.
Recognizing the support of peer Michael Andretti and Andretti Green Racing Schmidt bestowed his foundation's inaugural Legendary Driver Award to Michael Andretti tonight. "It is my personal privilege to present [this award] to Michael Andretti, respected and admired by all of us involved in racing," Sam Schmidt said.
"Many Americans followed his illustrious racing career and marvel at his many accomplishments. Michael set the starts for others to follow through the work of his [own] Foundation. His philanthropy is a source of inspiration to all of us." Schmidt reminded that Andretti was a bit young to be a "legend", to laughter from all in the crowd.
In accepting the award Andretti was visibly moved. "It's an honor to receive this award and I'm a little bit glad you said I'm too young to be a Legend," the 1991 CART champion and all-time winner laughed. "The purpose of this [evening] is to raise funds for the Sam Schmidt Foundation so that we can help find a cure for paralysis.
"In racing we have technology that helps us improve and race. Some of those same technologies, used in the medical field can bring us closer to the cure we seek," Andretti declared.
Andretti's signed helmet brought in $8000 in live auction, as did a trip to the Standard Management's Founders Suite at Conseco Fieldhouse for a single game during next year's Indiana Pacers regular season.
A pair of handmade quilts went off at $4500; a spa from Royal Spas fetched $8500, but the best bit of the live auction came at the end, when two bidders - one being Andretti Green Racing team co-owner Kim Green - bid $14,500 for a Bill Patterson artistic rendering of this year's front row for the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.
In less than 45 minutes, Patterson took a blank canvas and created a painting of the three fastest cars during MBNA Pole Day: Polesitter Tony Kanaan, Sam Hornish Jr. and Scott Sharp. Hornish and teammate Helio Castroneves were on-hand to support the Foundation and Sam Schmidt.All of Schmidt's Menards Infiniti Pro Series drivers, Chris Festa, Jaime Camara and Travis Gregg showed up for the Gala, as did Richie Hearn, charged with driving the #70 Meijer/Coca-Cola Panoz/Chevrolet/Firestone racer from 20th in the field.
Tony George, founder of the Indy Racing League, owner of Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Vision Racing came with wife Laura; League COO and president Brian Barnhart attended, as did IRL senior vice president of business affairs Ken Ungar. Al Speyer of Firestone Tire was on-hand with support.
By the time the tallies from the silent auction are compiled from this sixth annual gala, Schmidt's Paralysis Foundation should have more assets to work with in their efforts to enhance awareness of research efforts in this all-important field. To find out more about the Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation, please check out the website: www.samschmidt.org.

Propagating Anacharis? [growing from peices] I'm wondering the best way to do this.. I've read float peices, or anchor a long peice to the bottom of the tank, and at every nodule new plants should shoot... I have sand on the bottom of some of the tanks id like to grow it in, should I gently take the leaves off and cover it in sand? How small a price should I cut? One inch? Two? Six? Any experiences or advice is welcome! Edit: What should I cut with? I used regular scissors with my parrots feather, and almost 1/3 turned brown and black! |
heehee, this is an easy one! It doesn't matter WHAT you do to Anacharis, it'll pretty much deal with it. I've accidentally broken very small segments off of stems before and just left them alone until they grew another shoot :) They have to be REALLY dead not to be alive (if they're in the right conditions) Its worth keeping in mind that the stem where you make the cut on the plant won't just continue to grow up from that point. That tip is dead, and it will sent out a new shoot (or several) from wherever on the stem it feels like it should. You can prune it in different ways - or float it- to get the look that you want. People do recommend that you trim off the leaves where you put the new end into the substrate, as far as I can tell this is simply because they'll rot and we all know dead things in tanks are no good. In my experience, the entire end that you put into the substrate is going to rot anyway, and the roots usually form just above it. You could lay it flat and weight it down, it will send down roots and up shoots all along the stem. . . I've never done it this way, but keeping it weighted without burying it is what you'd want to do, the stem needs to see the light to grow. I'm not sure about this, but if I were going to try to grow it this way, I'd leave the leaves on it - at least on the top. I think it would regrow, either way, but I'm not sure why would it be necessary to kill the leaves that would continue to get light. Any way you slice it, Anacharis is a fun and easy little plant! |
I abuse my anacharis. I cut it with my finger nail. xD I have so much that you can't see any ugly tips on it though. If you have plants rotting where you cut I'd get sharper scissors to cut them with. |
Thanks guys! I have suction cups with little hooks on them, i think ill suction cup the stem to the tank longways, and see what happens! I should get little sprouts, but how soon? How fast does the grow?? |
That question is not so easy because it depends on a lot of factors like lighting, nutrient availability, co2, etc. In MY tanks, a cutting that I've put into the substrate will show noticeable growth in a few days. I'm not sure how long it'll take it to send off shoots while growing sideways, though - I've never done it that way. But it's a fast-growing plant, so I doubt it will take long. If it's a new plant to your tank, it might go through a period of die-off before it starts growing, while it adjusts to the new environment, but if you leave it alone, it will bounce back very quickly. |
I cut mine with my fingernail too. Never had an issue with brown leaves. Posted via Mobile Device |

There's one woman in the world who can say pretty definitively who's the better kisser: N'Sync singer Lance Bass or chart-topping heartthrob Usher. She'd also be a pretty good judge of which singer-turned-thespian has stronger acting chops. But Emmanuelle Chriqui (left, with Usher) refuses to smooch and tell – or costar and tell, for that matter – about the leading men whose respective characters courted her in 2001's On the Line, and this week's In the Mix.
The latter film finds Chriqui as an assertive Mafia princess who discovers she's got romantic feelings for her childhood friend (Usher) when her father (Chazz Palminteri) hires him to be her bodyguard. Chriqui says she hopes In the Mix, along with her recurring role as Eric's girlfriend Sloan on HBO's Entourage, will continue to improve her fortunes in Hollywood. Does this mean she's graduating to characters with better names than "Duke's Long-Suffering Wife," a role she portrayed in the 2003 indie Rick? "I loved that movie, first of all," says Chriqui. "It was one of those movies I think is a gem but not enough people saw."
Of course, if the acting thing doesn't work out, there's always singing, she jokes, noting she's been on screen with the likes of Iggy Pop, Mandy Moore, and Joey Fatone, as well as Bass and Usher. "Come on," Chriqui says, laughing, "I have the best contacts in the music industry."

Lord of Illusions
When a magician performs an amazing trick for an audience, the first question that often springs to its lips is How did he do that? For Miami-born photographer Christiaan López-Miró, that curiosity was what initially propelled him to make magicians the subjects of his work.
López-Miró has long been fascinated with what he calls the beautiful art of deception. But he doesnt photograph his subjects onstage. Instead, he captures them in the moments between the action in a dressing room, at a card table, or in an empty theater. In doing so, his new exhibition, Smoke and Mirrors, manages to raise far more intriguing questions about the character of the performers themselves. Without an audience, the aura becomes something different, something more isolated, he says. Theres something to them thats very psychological, very intense and confrontational. The glamour is completely removed.
To shoot the project, López-Miró flew to the Magic Castle in Los Angeles a sort of Country Club for magicians deep in the Hollywood Hills. He had first visited the grounds with his father at the age of 13 and had immediately fallen in love with the mystery and lore surrounding the place. Its this incredible inner sanctum where magicians come to divulge secrets, he says. After my first visit, I wanted to become a member. During his trip, López-Miró did finally become a member, and even hosted his first exhibition of Smoke and Mirrors on the grounds. Now he plans on continuing the series with shoots in Las Vegas and magic conventions across the U.S., and hopes to publish a book soon. Until then, you can join López-Miró for the opening reception of Smoke and Mirrors at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood (1650 Harrison St., Hollywood) this Friday at 6 p.m. Admission costs $6.

From the Academy Award-nominated team of director Pete Docter ("Monsters, Inc.") and co-director Bob Peterson comes "Up," a comedic adventure taking off (and lifting spirits) in summer 2009. Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year old Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life. "Up" takes audiences on a thrilling journey where the unlikely pair encounter wild terrain, unexpected villains and jungle creatures. When seeking adventure next summer -- look "Up."

IMAGE COMICS' THE OVERMAN Image Comics has announced a December launch for The Overman, a five-issue science fiction mini-series written by Scott Reed and illustrated by Shane White.
"The story is a stark and direct manifesto of the future," Reed said. "It's set in a neo-deco futuristic Pittsburgh, and begins much like a detective story. The plot escalates beyond that, into something surreal and incredibly devastating."
Here's how Image describes the book:
"Hired killer Nathan Fisher stumbles upon a vast, cryptic plot to merge Mankind with a bio-mechanical species, a scheme that could result in the total enslavement of Earth and beyond. Risking everything, and skirting the edge of madness, Nathan must somehow find a way to stop the mastermind behind this apocalyptic goal; a powerful corporation called Omakon, and their ancient, perverse president, Arnold Reitch."

Our Products | Mutual Funds | Tactical Allocation (NAINX)
Investment Opportunity
Diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks (40% - 60%), bonds (35% - 60%), and cash (0%-25%), the funds tactical allocation approach seeks to generate a combination of capital appreciation and income. For the U. S. equity allocation, top-down and econometric sector analysis as well as industry level and fundamental security analysis are utilized to identify securities that the portfolio managers believe offer superior return opportunity. For the non-U.S. equity allocation, bottom-up fundamental analysis with a cash flow return on capital approach to valuation along with top-down macro views are employed to identified the best investment opportunities. The fixed income manager employs a value oriented approach seeking to capitalize on individual issues and sectors, and trading opportunities that appear to offer the best value.
Fund Risks
Equity Securities: The market price of equity securities may be adversely affected by financial market, industry, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or on small or medium-sized companies may enhance that risk.
Credit & Interest: Debt securities are subject to various risks, the most prominent of which are credit and interest rate risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to make interest and/or principal payments. Values of debt securities may rise or fall in response to changes in interest rates, and this risk may be enhanced with longer-term maturities.
Foreign & Emerging Markets: Investing internationally, especially in emerging markets, involves additional risks such as currency, political, accounting, economic, and market risk.
Allocation: The fund's exposure to different asset classes may not be optimal for market conditions at a given time. Asset allocation does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss in declining markets.
Prospectus: For additional information on risks, please see the fund's prospectus.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of any Virtus Mutual Fund before investing. The prospectus and summary prospectus contains this and other information about the fund. Please contact your financial representative, call 1-800- 243-4361 or visit www.virtus.com to obtain a current prospectus and/or summary prospectus. You should read the prospectus and/or summary prospectus carefully before you invest or send money.
Performance data quoted represents past results. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Average annual total return is the annual compound return for the indicated period. It reflects the change in share price and the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. NAV returns do not include the effect of any applicable sales charges. POP and w/CDSC returns include the effect of maximum applicable sales charges.
Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative total returns.
1 Yields/Distributions: Distribution Yield (at NAV) is calculated by (a) annualizing the latest distribution for fixed income funds or funds less than 1 year old (b) summing all distributions over the preceding 12 months for all other funds, and dividing the NAV on the last business date of the period. SEC Yield represents the net investment income earned by a fund over a 30-day period, expressed as an annual percentage rate based on the fund's public offering share price at the end of the 30-day period. Gross SEC Yield represents the yield if there were no expense reimbursements.
2 Distribution History: Distributions are represented on a cash basis and may be reclassified at year end for tax purposes. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. STCG: Short Term Capital Gain, LTCG: Long Term Capital Gain
3 Risk Statistics: R2 is a statistical measure that represents the percentage of a fund or security's movements that can be explained by movements in a benchmark index. Beta is a quantitative measure of the volatility of a given portfolio to the overall market. Alpha is a risk adjusted measure of an investment's excess return relative to a benchmark. A positive Alpha indicates that the investment produced a return greater than expected for the risk (as measured by Beta) taken. Standard Deviation measures variability of returns around the average return for an investment fund. Higher standard deviation suggests greater risk. Risk Statistics are calculated using 36 monthly returns.
4 Characteristics: For Equity Funds:Trailing P/E: Per-share stock price divided by the latest12-months Earnings per Share; Price/Cash Flow: Per-share stock price divided by the per-share operating cash flow; Price/Book: Per-share stock price divided by the latest 12-month per-share Book Value; 3-Year EPS Growth Rate: Average of earnings per share growth for latest 3-year period. The 3-Year EPS Growth Rate is not a forecast of the fund's performance.
4 Characteristics: For Fixed Income Funds: Duration represents the interest rate sensitivity of a fixed income fund. For example, if a fund's duration is five years, a 1% increase in interest rates would result in a 5% decline in the fund's price. Similarly, a 1% decline in interest rates would result in a 5% gain in the fund's price.
Morningstar Disclosures:
For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for a variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in an investment category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Ratings are for the A Shares as shown only; other share classes bear different fees and expenses, which affect performance.
Load-waived A share star ratings do not include any front-end sales load and are intended for those investors who have access to such purchase terms (e.g., plan participants of a defined contribution plan). Not all A share mutual funds for which Morningstar calculates a load-waived A share star rating may actually waive their front-end sales load. Therefore, Morningstar strongly encourages investors to contact their investment professional to determine whether they are eligible to purchase the A share without paying the front load.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israeli soldiers shot and killed four Palestinian terrorists trying to plant bombs along the Gaza security fence Tuesday morning.
Soldiers manning a nearby lookout post spotted the terrorists, and alerted a patrol to their presence.
The responding soldiers took increased precautions for their own safety after an IDF officer and another soldier were killed in a similar confrontation two weeks ago.

General: Down with Match-Made PvP
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 3/19/11 8:14:02 PM
Amen. Scenario based pvp is a joke. If you want a Scenario go play a FPS. MMORPG's should be persisant real-time worlds. Not a battle ground of 8v8. End of story. |
Only 29 servers for headstart - fewer than in Beta.
General Discussion « Rift 2/25/11 9:14:40 AM
My guess is they will release other servers when the real launch date hits so that people that didnt have head start can start together too. Meaning people that had a head start wont have a head start on everyone else. They just got to start playing game before others. |
yes .. the true wow killer. they killed the entire genre. |

If a game is like WOW. I want nothing to do with it. Its the worst MMORPG model ever made. It has ruined a genre of gaming. Game DEVs now want to clone WOW not because its good ... its because its DUMBED-DOWN for the masses to play. This way they can collect a sub fee for MILLIONS. The WORST part is you WOWclones are FUELING this by comparing everything to that damn DUMBED-DOWN game. Thanks for helping to ruin my favorite genre of gaming. |
This is a lie. This is all a giant bull*** thread! WOW did it all first! They all copied off WOW! ROFLMAO ... sorry I had too. |

I played AoC at launch. It was horrid. I left the game after 3-4 months. I have recently returned and I must say its a noticeable change. I am having a blast and I cant wait for the expansion. If your on the fence about trying it .. dont! Here is a free trial :) |
