Glad to hear he's doing better, complaining is a sure sign of feeling better ;)
No but he's been on lots of antiobiotics and apparently that can make you get CDiff.
My brother went googling...*big sigh*
Cdiff!? Well, that's going to call for a major clean of the bathrooms at his house so no one else is infected. It's quite catching. There is a simple lab test to be positive, so be sure they do that.
Pneumonia is bad enough, the poor man. Jeez. Will he take any soup?
Yes, it is most often iatrogenically caused. The miserable antibiotics are a real culprit. Be sure of the diagnosis, because it's a mountain of work to disinfect everything.
c diff is spread by spores and is heat resistant -can't remember what temp to, very difficult to get rid of as it clings to everything including stuff that can't be cleaned readily, perfect to be spread....DON'T SIT ON HOSPITAL BEDS!!! Apparently lots of us already have it within us but it needs the normal flora and fauna in our gut to be depleted to take a hold. Antibiotics do that unfortunately. Hope he's feeling better soon :)
No one should share a bathroom with someone who had been diagnosed with c diff.
Even with something like C Diff?! You can't control the spread without isolative techniques!

We dont even know how the classes are designed..
Are they designed for group play (roles) where you need to be grouped to get the buff /speed/heal/protection or whatever.
If not players will group up anyway in very large groups.. probably not even being in a group(ui) just running together.
Personly i hope they design classes with roles with abilities only usable on group members
The roles being:
-Magic Caster(easy killable)
-Cleanser/magic protector/CCer Caster/rezzer (no damage)
-Melee damage dealer
-Protector/persons blocker/ CCer(knockbacks) melee player(hard to kill/low damage/protects against melee and arrows)
-Buffer/debuffer/cleanser/healer/rezzer Caster (no damage)
-short range speed/buffer(more powerfull)/healer(more powerfull) /cleanser/resser melee dealer (some damage, harder to kill then normal melee damage dealer)
-ranger(tracker and archer far low damage slow attacks, and average in melee damage. Can also hide and see foodprints of people -> skills, and place or disable traps )
And a solo play class that cant group and only have self buffs)
- assasin ( melee damage dealer but only good in finishing off people that have less then 70% hp (fast).. attacking someone with full health would mean he does almost no damage(except if he is in the shadow world). And can open gates in and out of the shadow world where they will be invisible of people in the normal world, but can see people in normal world)
(ranger can follow an enemy assasin into the shadow world and can stay there for a few minutes. Gates of assasins will always stay open for a few seconds but can only be seen by assasins and rangers)
So a group could excist out of:
2 melee damage dealers and a short range buffer. A debuffer/healer Caster and a normal caster. Being protected by a protecter and a magic protecter. And a ranger for tracking or hiding foodprints and range damage or put down traps for ambushes.
And 2 random class slots to make to groups more different (tactic choise how to fill in other 2 slots)
So 10 man groups
EU/US servers?

I dont think they can stop it.
People want to play with their friends even if they life on the other side of the world.
I (living in the netherlands- europe) played DAOC on a USA server(Tristan) because friends also played on that server.
I never had lag and group fights were always good. And that was years ago when internet was still bad.. 2 seconds graphic lag isnt unplayable if it isnt a FPS
Also another problem is players have changed. They dont have guild/server pride anymore.. and most will just join the winning team. And for a wvw game this usualy means best 24/7 coverage (HOPE NOT!!!) But realms will recruit for people for off hours. And the top realms will be very crowded even in off hours.
Language difference shouldnt be a problem since EU had tons of different language players on UK servers all the time. Instead of special servers for different languages they better could make better chat channels you can join .. so a channel where you can speak english only, a channel for german , a channel for polish, etc...
Hope they have thought of good systems that deals with problems like:
-off hours/night capping (being outmanned all the time at same hours every day)
-server hopping players changing servers to servers with a winning realm . Making outmanned realms even more outmanned.

Taking a keep would mean you will have more land so more income of resources. But you first need to spend resources to rebuilding houses so you will get the NPCs.
So if you take a keep spend recourses to rebuild houses, then after you just are done rebuilding you will loose the keep again will mean you lost resources instead of win.
So having a keep is good.. Taking a keep is only good if you can hold it for a while.
And if you make it so keep takes are very large battles(lots of small battles) that took a few hours to get it, people will defintly want to defend it.

It was more so Mark or someone else of the Camelot unchained would read it and see my warnings and like my ideas how to solve problems of all the other games who tried to make RVR had run into. Or atleast think about them. And maybe change stuff they already anounced like the e leveling system as personal reward/goal.
For example ANET (GW2) never thought about how to design classes for a rvr game. So it wouldnt become a game all about who has the largest group and has best 24/7 coverage. They are now slowly changing it so running in a very large blob isnt the best tactic anymore. But already lots of people stopped because of queues, lag and other zerg problems. And never thought about having a bad goal(ranking where best coverage wins) and lack of personal goal or team/guild goal(personal/guild rankings or temporary rewards etc. They maybe will change some of the problems.
But for example changing the class designs in GW2 so they are more role based will never happen. But would have forced people to work together and work as a group instead of just run along with the zerg(no help of others needed except that they dont out number me). Would have brought more tactics and teamwork gameplay options into the game. So smaller groups could beat bigger groups(and make running in the largest group not best tactic) . So group skills would have determined the ranking of the server. Would have make population difference effect be smaller. Would have spread out players more over all servers so they wouldnt have alsmost dead servers next to to crowded servers with very large queues. Would have removed most of the zergs and groups would spread out more over the zone. And no zergs would mean less culing(rendering) and lag problems.

Daoc was fun because it was a group based game with classes with each a role:
Like a bard would mezz and keep endurance and mana up while being kited by the enemy melee train.
A druid would buff/debuff/heal and root (usualy 2 druids for each group one healer other one buffer) and protect eachother by rooting/healing players if the other one got attacked.
Melee classes to chase after healers and casters to interrupt them and do some damage.
Casters you had debuffers so other casters could deal more damage and blind and mana regen
You had rangers and assasins both with stealth so good solo classes that could scout and give group movement info to the groups.
etc.. but no tanks.
In WAR(the game) every class could do good damage. So all classes were damage dealers. Healers were to busy doing damage to heal.. Tanks charged in first and werent protecters of the week classes. So there werent realy any roles. No teamwork needed. Groups were just large groups of people running together were classes didnt realy matter .. and only doing more dps(or having more people) is the main tactic.
(thats why WAR failed for me -> no teamwork needed... a soloplay game in a large group)
Real tanks(protectors and enemy blockers) that are designed to protect (so a real role you could use in tactics/teamplay strategies) in a RVR games i have never seen yet.(mostly because all games also had PVE, and a class that cant do damage only protect would suck in solo pve.)

So people level while doing RvR, becoming stronger every time you play. So you will get a gap between players where players want to only group with level X) or new players (level 1) being one shotted by level 50 players..
Thats for me a fail.
I rather have seen a system where you stats grow but also drop during your play. So if you play well (killing stuff without getting killed) you will get points but also loosing points while you dont kill anything or even more points if you get killed more then you kill people.. But not playing for a few days would mean you are back to zero. (ofcoure it will grow fast again if you start playing again)And where stats are linked together.. Like getter stronger will mean your agility will drop (skill abilities will trigger slower and your dodges will fail) . Getting more health will mean you will move (run speed during combat) will get less.
DAOC before the zergs(new frontier) groups who did group vs group already didnt want to group with low Realm rank players. Because high realm rank players would get a stat advantage and have access to some very powerfull abilities. So winner between a + Realm rank 8 and a group with < realm rank 5 would 99% of all battles be the group with the high realm ranks. Even if the low realm ranks are better players (so not teamwork/ skill/ luck based)
If they would have make the realm abilities so it were only real abilities (so removed all the passive stat bonus rewards) that needed to charge up before you could use it. (like every time u use purge you first need to kill 30 players to recharge it). The gap between new players(or low realm rank new players or alts) and high realm rank players would be much smaller. And groups of higher realm ranked players would have only a small advage (once in a while) over low realm ranked players.
Leveling is for PVE games.
RvR games need rankings , fun battles and sieges. Fighting over land and resources.. recourses you need to build/rebuild/upgrade/replace lots of stuff like keeps/houses for NPCs/gear/weapons/siege weapons/NPCs who will gather resources or help defend etc.. but you could also make it so you need (a special type of resource) for everytime you use a special (most powerfull) ability.
Where resources will be devided to all players who helped defending or conquering a piece of land (will slowly add to your bank while the NPCs or you gather)
The usual mistakes RvR MMO's developers usualy make.

In RvR they where just i bit harder to kill melee damage dealers.
WAR class design was made for solo play not group play (roles) where all classes where damage dealer with a bit of role abilities. So the tanks were damage dealers that were harder to kill and a few protect abilities.
I ment with tanks.. low damage dealers but very hard to kill (very slow movement speed in defence stance ofcourse) so real protectors/blockers
With lots of CC and protect abilities like:
- Grab And Hold: PBEAO/cone pull towards caster and pin down(cant move for a long time)
- cone push backs (he can use every 5 seconds)
- pbaoe criple for 40 seconds
- single target shield slam/ ability that dazes the target , where target cant use any ability for 20 seconds and is trown back
-Wall: Create a wall for like 60 seconds left and right of the tank no one can pass
-Shield bubble that protects a ground area for missle damage for a few seconds
- body guard that protects all grouped players very close to you (tank take damage instead)
So you first need to force the tank into block mode so he cant use any of the above skills. Or move around him and attack them in the back
I know very long CCs but all CCs are cureable (healer /magic protector solo target spells.. or resistant buffs)

General Discussion « Camelot Unchained
A lot of players are waiting for a reay good RvR MMO. And lots of games got hyped because they said to make a game with a very good RvR part. But time after time the developers make the same misstakes over and over again and the games fail in being a good RVR game.
The main mistake: Dont try to make a MMO for all MMORPG players.
You have 3 types of MMORPG(maybe more); PVE MMORPG, RvR MMORPG, PVP MMORPG.
They are all called MMORPG, but they are completly different from eachother. Trying to make a game that has more then one of the types will always fail!
Classes in a PVE MMORPG are designed to level solo or/and to do dungeons in a group. So you need classes that do enough damage but also fulfill a role like healer or tank etc..
Its a shame Camelot Unchained started good with only wanting to make a RvR MORPG with PVE, but still ended to fell into the usual trap(s .. will probably become more)
Other mistakes that developers trying to make a RVR MMORPG usualy makes (so also probably Camelot Unchained) are :
So instead of fights where people chasing after eachother(offence classes chasing/attacking the healer/caster classes) more a fight where defenders actuely can potect the weaker classes so they dont have to kite all the time. So with block//push backs/CC etc.. So a fight where casters and range are protected by tanks and magic protecters. Melee attackers (and their close combat support) trying to get passed the defenders. And assasins fighting a seperete war in a 2nd dimension (shadow world) to get free access to jump on the wounded targets.
Hmm post got a bit big. Sorry
But i am still hoping a company will finaly make a good RvR game before i die or to be to old to play compter games. Its not so hard as long you keep in mind what problems will have each design desission.(like making blobbing up(zerging) the best tactic will end up in the same group with most people always winning and the usual big masses problems (like lag) will happen. Or growing stronger over time, will make the game for starters not fun and to hard to play.)
And sorry for the bad english.
Anyone interested in RvR? Here's a Video and my thoughts about Aion(Kor server)
General Discussion « Aion
Very nice threat KilKil2, i read most of it in the boss his time (bad bad me!! but i couldnt stop so much good info)
But like you i am an old DAOC player. Our strategy was to keep as much as possible CCed while focus kill stuff. We didnt like AOE to much because it would break CC. I read your group is using alot of AOE damage woudnt this break the CC??
And do you think the sorc will become a better CCer then the spiritmaster in next patch?

Minimum radius curve for Atlas Cab Forward 2-8-8-2
I'm using Atlas Code 80 snap track. Can someone give me an approximation of the minimum radius an Atlas Cab Forward 2-8-8-2 might negotiate?
February 7th, 2012, 04:18 AM #2
There is no such thing. Atlas never made a cab forward, just a standard cab USRA 2-8-8-2 that was a questionable runner at best. The only N scale cab forward ever produced besides brass is the Intermountain AC-12. I'm not sure on the AC-12 but I think minimum radius is around 12-14".Tony Hines

I think you've got the type of engine that is generally an articulated... so... whatever the manufacturer is... the likelyhood is that you should have a minimum radius above 15"... and that is going to be sort of tight if it is a 2-8-8-2 MALLET articulated. Not only is it tight for good running characteristics... but the overhanging pilot is not going to be a very attractive look either. Going into the curve it might wipe-out scenery that's within a 1/2" of the track. DO NOT run them into a tunnel portal on a curve unless you use a double wide portal or modify the portal to accomodate the overhang.Grandpa "Joe",

I ran an Atlas 2-8-8-2 on a "Scenic Ridge" layout, so based on that it should be able to handle curves as sharp as 9.75"-radius.
February 7th, 2012, 08:54 PM #6
I would just get a couple pieces of flex track and before you draw you track plan lay it out on the bench and see what the engine will do by making a tighter turns till it jumps. I also think that when it start to look funny going around the curve it time to quit anyway as your almost there to a derailment anyway.

This is a great book, highly recommended to any research and educator in this field."
—Purang Abolmaesumi, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
"I am not aware of a book that covers both biomedical image processing and biomedical signal processing. There are a large number of books that focus on the physics of biomedical imaging. This book however, balances the coverage of physics of biomedical imaging with biomedical image processing. … I was impressed by how clearly the concepts are explained. The authors' ability to introduce concepts at the level appropriate for senior undergraduate or graduate level students is impressive. … programming questions at the end of the chapter that will give the reader the opportunity to try out the signal processing techniques introduced in the chapter. Also, sample signals are included on the accompanying CD. … I would definitely use this book as my textbook in a biomedical signal-processing course."
—Shahram Shirani, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
"… an excellent bridge between the physiological significance of the methods, and the underlying mathematics. … covers a broad range of biomedical problems. … clear, well written, and easy to follow. … this is an excellent course textbook, and also an excellent reference book for professionals."

Sadly our parent organization Architecture for Humanity, LlC has chosen to discontinue operations, close field offices around the world as well as their headquarters in San Francisco, and plans to file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. However, like the other U.S. based chapters, Architecture for Humanity New Haven operated independently from HQ aside from fiscal sponsorship and administrative support. Our "staff" consists solely of volunteers who provide their services pro-bono to non-profit organizations and communities in need. Although it may be under a different name in the future, we plan to continue the humanitarian design work that we have been doing for over five years.

Defining Federal Cyber Risk Management
People exercise risk management, consciously and unconsciously, every day.
Many of us drive on a daily basis. Some speed, and risk the chance of getting caught, while others are more conservative and drive the exact speed limit. We base our decision on whether or not to exceed the speed limit on the information available to us at the time, including our knowledge, past experiences, or the conditions we see in front of us. We weigh the risks against impacts and consequences, making decisions based upon our tolerance for the outcomes. The same is true for federal cyber risk management.
Securing federal information and assets in cyberspace is the primary driver behind cybersecurity. Even so, other factors help define risk, including the potential for negative publicity if a cyber breach occurs, the impact to budget/performance plans if FISMA grades fall short, or the potential for investigations or congressional hearings if the burning issue of the day burns a bit too bright for too long. Federal cyber risk management fundamentally boils down to making risk decisions based upon an agency's risk tolerance - and the drivers behind an agency's tolerance vary across the federal government.
Risk is defined as the likelihood of a future event that may have unintended or unexpected consequences. Federal agencies make the best cyber risk management decisions by using data and information to evaluate the agency's strengths and weaknesses for delivering on its cyber mission in the context of potential threats.
Agencies must use information and data from various disparate sources across the enterprise to make these decisions, including audit log information, vulnerability data, asset information, the agency's regulatory compliance status, external and internal threat activity, human capital risks to the cybersecurity mission, and many more. As challenging as it may be for agencies to consume large volumes of disparate data, it is a challenge that is essential to overcome for agencies to make the best cyber risk management decisions.
Is this achievable? Absolutely. The business intelligence movement established the foundation allowing agencies to minimize risk exacerbated by ad-hoc decision-making. Leveraging business intelligence capabilities for cybersecurity enables agencies to aggregate data across technical and organizational stovepipes and to provide agency cybersecurity leaders with mechanisms for making informed, risk decisions. By better understanding the cyber landscape, federal cybersecurity leaders can - much like our speeding driver example - understand "how fast" to drive and make better investment decisions when addressing enterprise cybersecurity risks.

Will your agency's cybersecurity mandate change?
Your agency's cybersecurity marching orders may be changing. Former cyber czar Melissa Hathaway joined In Depth with Francis Rose with the latest analysis of bills in Congress that could change the nation's cybersecurity mandate. She tells Federal News Radio that it's down to two bills and one could have an impact on the role of CIOs.

OMB officially expands DHS's cyber role
DHS will oversee and provide assistance to civilian agencies to improve how they protect their computer networks. White House cyber coordinator Schmidt says the goal of the memo is to make sure agency roles and responsibilities are clear. Schmidt also calls for more valuable public-private partnerships.

Genome-wide assessment of the carriers involved in the cellular uptake of drugs: a model system in yeast

BMC Biology 2011, 9:70 doi:10.1186/1741-7007-9-70Published: 24 October 2011
The uptake of drugs into cells has traditionally been considered to be predominantly via passive diffusion through the bilayer portion of the cell membrane. The recent recognition that drug uptake is mostly carrier-mediated raises the question of which drugs use which carriers.
To answer this, we have constructed a chemical genomics platform built upon the yeast gene deletion collection, using competition experiments in batch fermenters and robotic automation of cytotoxicity screens, including protection by 'natural' substrates. Using these, we tested 26 different drugs and identified the carriers required for 18 of the drugs to gain entry into yeast cells.
As well as providing a useful platform technology, these results further substantiate the notion that the cellular uptake of pharmaceutical drugs normally occurs via carrier-mediated transport and indicates that establishing the identity and tissue distribution of such carriers should be a major consideration in the design of safe and effective drugs.

btw...Coffee contains over 300 naturally base chemicals that act as powerful antioxidants. The other good news is that studies are indicating caffeine, when applied topically to the skin, can prevent the occurrence of skin cancer. The caffeine doesn't just prevent the tumours from forming, it actually kills the cancer cells.
The Japanese soak in large vats of coffee grounds, expressly for this reason. Coffee scrubs and salts have been the rage in recent years due to its ability to exfoliate, soothe, deodorize, and heal.

I have a question. It was prompted by something Matt64 posted in the Pet Peeves thread. Where I live, (Ontario), people who take two sugars and two cream in their coffee order it as "Double double". Is this a local thing, or is it universal? I must know or I'll never sleep tonight.
"I'm telling you - it's a madhouse out there. I feel like Charlton Heston waking up in the field and seeing the chimp on top of the pony." ~ Dennis Miller
Qboots, apparently you and Matt are not the only ones wondering about the double-double term.
Here is an excerpt from an interesting article:
http://www.aboutcoffee.net/2005/01/d...le-double.htmlThere's a big chain of donut shops in Canada called Tim Hortons that's giving Starbucks a good run for its money. I don't really know much about it, but I recently read that you can order a "double double" there. Yow! Did that ever bring back memories.
"Double double? What's that!?!" Most people react like this the first time they hear the term. Someone told me once that a famous New York writer ordered his coffee that way and the term stuck to mean "coffee, double cream, double sugar". But in this day and age of self serve coffee bars and Starbucks, some people may still be scratching their head: Who's business but my own is it how much cream and sugar I put in my coffee? Believe me, it used to be everybody's business.
Never heard of coffee ordered as a "double double" before myself, Qboots. (Around here it is "light and sweet"). My (iced) coffee (currently condensating all over my desk) is "little bit of cream and 2 Splenda". Few more of these and there will be no sleep for me tonight either.

While regular arrows are pretty weak, it still comes in handy because it saves handgun ammo. The real firepower comes from explosive arrows, which should be used on boss fights.

Storm hits Poultney hardestStaff Report | July 03,2014Green Mountain Power spokeswoman Dorothy Schnure said that Poultney, where winds in excess of 70 mph were reported, was the hardest hit by storm that blew into the region this evening.
"We've got multiple polls down, wires down," she said at around 7:30 p.m. "There's a lot going on in Poultney. We've got, at this point, 363 seperate events and about 5,000 customers without power and 2,000 of those are in Poultney."
Other heavy concentrations were in West Rutland and the city.
"Rutland was damaged by the same storm cell coming through, but to a lesser extent," she said.
Schnure said GMP had 55 of its own two-person line crews out along with 32 contract line crews and 50 contract tree crews.
She said further outages were possible as the storm system moved through the state and that the company expected it would not have power restored to everyone until the end of Friday.MORE IN This Just InStephen Goldberg is back with a vengeance.

Historic drought ripples across Southwest
"When we look at the last 110 years of data, the (current) drought … is on par with the droughts of the '50s and the '30s," said Mark Svoboda, climatologist with National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska Lincoln.
Like others, he's looking toward fall and a change of season that could bring enough rain and eventually snow that to return farms and water supplies to more typical conditions.
"We are not saying it is the Dust Bowl all over again — not yet," Svoboda said. "We are hoping that an El Niño will stop that and reduce the likelihood of drought going into next year. … We are looking for a shot in the arm."
Regular rains would be a welcome relief across the Southwest, where 30 million people and four million acres of crops across depend on the heavily engineered Colorado River system to sustain life on lands that otherwise could support just a fraction of the current users.
These days, Colorado's rain-reliant rangeland is the color of sand and the skies have been filled with wildfire smoke instead of thunderclouds. For most of the state, it will be the warmest January-August period on record.
"Since there is already abundant evidence that we have had drier times in Colorado than what we've become accustomed to the past 150 years — such as extensive sand dunes over parts of eastern Colorado — we know that a drier future is an uncomfortable possibility," said state climatologist Nolan Doesken.
That will only make the imbalance between supply and demand worse on Colorado River, which doesn't regularly reach the Sea of Cortez because of all the upstream withdrawals.
River flows into Lake Powell rarely have been above-average since 1999, adding to the problem. Runoff into the reservoir was only 14 percent of average in July, and over the past several months inflow has been the third lowest since 1963.
"We will start to feel that, but it takes a while. That happens over the course of a couple or three years," said Ken Weinberg resources director for the San Diego County Water Authority.
The question for him and other managers is how long the dryness will linger and how hard it will grip the Sierra and the Cascade mountains that backstop the Colorado Basin as the other major water source for California. Water shortages on the Colorado River would trigger a complex allocation plan with implications for residents across Southern California, most of whom depend on the Metropolitan Water District in Los Angeles to distribute supplies to smaller water agencies.
"If Met's allocation is reduced, it's not going to get as much water as it has gotten in the past couple of years," Weinberg said. "Then they are more dependent on the State Water Project and conditions (in Northern California) become the main concern. We are always one dry year away on the State Water Project from having supply constraints."
Given the possibilities, Mitch Dion at the Rincon del Diablo Municipal Water District in Escondido said the region's water agencies should be doing more to push voluntary conservation measures and talk about the shortages upstream.

Disturbed had a two percent lead when I voted, which shocked me. The whole time I've been voting, I've seen them taking 15 and 20% leads, but this time only two.
Get on there and vote, this could make history for metal, Disturbed stamping out a band like this. I know Green Day is gonna fall easily, but this band right here's gonna be a challenge. But we can totally win.
Disturbed is gonna win this one too; they had a 15% lead when I voted.
I'm just wondering when Disturbed will be put up against a band that's actually somewhat decent.
Happy to say that when I voted Disturbed had a 15% lead.
I never liked Foo Fighters, they're just a generic punk rock band with the same generic faceless chord progressions and ideas. Nothing unique about them.
David's got s SRS FACE :|
And you gots an excited face :D
And at first I thought you were wearing a Beatle's 'Abbey Road' shirt....
Congrats on the sig, I'm gonna try and get my vinyl of The Sickness signed at the concert I'm going to.
These fucking spambots are really distracting. Mods, get off your asses. Delete spam comments.
Just voted for 'sturbed on the site.... looks like they're gonna beat out DMB, when I voted Disturbed had like a 10% lead.

Remember Perez is/was only following the direction he was given by the board.
Also, the sales and marketing of the film division is now owned by the UK Kodak pension-scheme. They intend to keep things running in order to pay their membership their dues from the profits. The film is, or will be, produced in the usual facilities in Rochester which are NOT owned by the pension scheme so I hope they have an iron-clad supply contract sorted out . . .

Board of Equalization Member George Runner today responded to an announcement by the Tax Foundation that California won't reach Tax Freedom Day until April 20th this year, a full five days later than last year and three days later than the average state.
"Californians will have to work for 111 days this year before they are allowed to earn a single penny for themselves or their families. That's shameful," Runner said.

Tax Freedom Day, calculated annually by the Tax Foundation, is the day Americans have earned enough money to pay their annual tax obligations at the federal, state and local levels. The Tax Foundation also calculates a Tax Freedom Day for each state. As a result of Californians' high tax burden, Tax Freedom Day in California is the 11th latest in the nation.
"Californians are overtaxed," added Runner. "We don't need higher taxes, as the governor is suggesting. What California needs is a lower unemployment rate. People need jobs. And once people get jobs they shouldn't have to spend almost 4 months each year working just to pay taxes to the government."
More information about Tax Freedom Day is available at www.taxfoundation.org/taxfreedomday.

Special Correspondent
Traffic was thrown out of gear on GST Road for five hours
CHENNAI: Movement of traffic on arterial Grand Southern Trunk Road towards Guindy was affected for nearly five hours on Saturday morning when a cement concrete mixer lorry was involved in an accident at Meenambakkam.
Traffic police said the truck had loaded pre-mixed cement concrete from a factory in Kandigai near Guduvanchery. It was heading towards a construction site in Kodambakkam.
At Meenambakkam, the driver had reportedly lost control of the vehicle and dashed against the median on GST Road and the vehicle overturned . Using recovery vehicles, the traffic police removed the lorry from the spot at 11 a.m, resulting in a massive pile up of vehicles during the intervening period .
None was injured, the police said, adding the accident took place as the driver of the lorry had reportedly dozed off.

Curse of Turan
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (April 2007)
The Curse of Turan (Hungarian: Turáni átok) is a belief that Hungarians have been under the influence of a malicious spell for many centuries. The "curse" manifests itself as inner strife, pessimism, misfortune and several historic catastrophes.
There are different theories of origin. It is notable that the choice of theory is more controversial than the existence of the curse.
Saint Stephen and Christianity[edit]
Perhaps the most popular origin theory is that the curse resulted from Hungary's conversion to Christianity in the year AD 1000 under King Stephen. The vanquished adherents of the old Hungarian religion cast a curse upon Christian Hungary to last either forever or perhaps for 1,000 years.
1848 revolution[edit]
Another theory is that the curse was created as legend during the 1850s in the aftermath of the failed Hungarian Revolution of 1848, and reflected the overwhelming pessimism of this repressive decade.
National catastrophes[edit]
Some tragic events of Hungarian history are traditionally seen as national catastrophes, manifestations of the Curse of Turan:
- Battle of Mohi (1241) Devastating loss to invading Mongols leading to severe population depletion.
- Battle of Mohács (1526) Decisive loss to invading Turks leading to around 150 years (until 1686) of Ottoman rule in central parts of the country.
- Transfer of sovereignty from Ottoman Empire to Hapsburgian Austrian Empire (1699)
- Crushing of the 1848 Revolution (1849) Loss to Habsburg and Russian forces led to 15 years of severe repression.
- Hungarian Revolution of 1919
- Hungarian-Romanian War of 1919
- Treaty of Trianon (1920) Redefinition of borders after World War I; Hungary loses about 72% of its territory.
- World War II (1939–45) Catastrophic alliance with Axis powers.
- Hungarian Revolution of 1956 Crushed by Soviet military, led to severe reprisals and mass exodus of many Hungarians.
Personal troubles[edit]
The curse has also been blamed for causing many troubles on a personal level. Among them are Hungary's high rate of suicide. Currently, Hungary is 9th in the world in suicide rate. In the mid 1980s, Hungary led this indicator. Hungarians have the third shortest life expectancy in Europe outside the countries of the former USSR.
Turan (Hungarian: Turán) derives from the Persian توران and refers to the steppes of Central Asia, land of the Tur. This root word is likely derived from the name of an ancient king, and may also be the root of "Turk". Traditionally Magyars were considered Turkic people until the end of the 18th century[by whom?]. In the 19th century, when the Curse of Turan was a very popular concept, artists searched for Asian characteristics in Hungarian folk art and called them "Turanic motifs".
The curse became a favourite theme in Hungarian literature. A poem written in 1832 by the great 19th century Romantic poet, Mihály Vörösmarty, explains the origin of the curse as the bloody wars fought for the territory of Hungary in ancient times:
The Curse
"Men!" announced the baneful god of Pannon memory
"I give to you a joyous land; yours to fight for, if necessary"
So great, brave nations fought determinedly for her
Until the Magyar finally emerged as the bloody victor
Oh, but discord remained in the souls of the nations: the land
Can never know happiness, under this curse's hand
Az átok
"Férfiak!" így szólott Pannon vészistene hajdan,
"Boldog földet adok, víjatok érte, ha kell."
S víttanak elszántan nagy bátor nemzetek érte,
S véresen a diadalt végre kivítta magyar.
Ah de viszály maradott a népek lelkein: a föld
Boldoggá nem tud lenni ez átok alatt.

If anyone is interested, Justice Stevens just denied the Ohio lawsuit about the use of poll watchers
Although the hour is late and time is short, I have reviewed the District Court opinions and the opinions of the Circuit Judges. That reasonable judges can disagree about the issues is clear enough.
The allegations of abuse made by the plaintiffs are undoubtedly seriousthe threat of voter intimidation isnot new to our electoral systembut on the record before me it is impossible to determine with any certainty the ultimate validity of the plaintiffs' claims.
Practical considerations, such as the difficulty of digesting all of the relevant filings and cases, and the challenge of properly reviewing all of the parties' submissions as a full Court in the limited timeframe available, weigh heavily against granting the extraordinary type of relief requested here. Moreover, I have faith that the elected officials and numerous election volunteers on the ground will carry out their responsibilities in a way that will enable qualified voters to cast their ballots.

Companies have been slashing almost every cost imaginable to survive the recession, yet they are spending more than ever to calm CEOs who fear for their personal safety.
Starbucks, which has laid off workers, closed stores and switched from whole to 2% milk to save pennies a gallon, bumped its spending to $511,079 last year on the personal and home security of CEO Howard Schultz. FedEx, which quit matching employee 401(k) contributions, spent $595,875 on the security of CEO Fred Smith. Walt Disney spent $645,368 for CEO Robert Iger; Occidental Petroleum spent $575,407 for Ray Irani; and McKesson spent $401,706 for John Hammergren.
Be it paranoia or prudence, corporate spending on CEO safekeeping is escalating in the face of painful cutbacks, and not by a little. The median spending on personal and home security for CEOs at the 100 largest publicly traded companies was $65,348 in 2008, up 123% from $29,291 in 2007, according to executive compensation research firm Equilar. Ten companies alone spent a total of $4.6 million on CEO security in 2008, 40% more than the 10 biggest spenders of 2007.
Are such fears legitimate — the money wisely spent with every dollar so scrutinized? Companies say yes in their annual proxy filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, stating that few expenditures are more aligned with the interest of shareholders than safeguarding their corporate leadership. Starbucks says in its proxy that among all perquisites paid to executives, security is "particularly" provided for the company's benefit.
In times of unpopularity, CEOs can be targets. Last month, the Austrian vacation home of Novartis CEO Daniel Vasella was burned, and police suspect animal-rights extremists. That followed July vandalism when his mother's urn was stolen from a cemetery, where the grave of his sister, who died at age 19, also was desecrated and someone added crosses with the names of Vasella and his wife.
"Given several notable incidents of violence towards executives, it doesn't come as a surprise that companies are taking increased measures," Equilar CEO David Chun says.
The movie industry has largely escaped the recession, and John Marshall, CEO of Commonwealth Studios, says any threat now is probably no worse than before. "Still, when I get in the car I hit the button that locks all the doors, all the little things available to me," says Marshall, whose home is gated, with an electronic system to warn of intruders. If the alarm sounds, he and his wife have a planned escape route. At work, Marshall contracts for around-the-clock guards and also pays what he describes as "six figures" for a security consultant.
Tough times, tough security
Dell was the security champ among the Fortune 100, spending $1,164,625 protecting CEO Michael Dell in 2008. "The board believes that Mr. Dell's personal safety and security are of vital importance," says the company proxy. Dell spokesman Jess Blackburn added that it would be more appropriate to look at salaries, bonuses and other perks, and not focus on security alone.
But CEO security is up like no other perk, and it may be no coincidence that increased spending comes at a time when the image of CEOs is so battered that the public gives them approval ratings worse than members of Congress, according to Rasmussen Reports. CEOs have responded to public outrage by more often paying out of their own pockets for country club memberships and personal use of the corporate jet.

3 action tips for advanced LinkedIn strategies
Editor's note: This is the last installment of a seven-day blitz of LinkedIn tips from Chris Muccio, a South Florida digital marketing strategist, who has just released an update to his Amazon.com best-seller, "42 Rules for 24-Hour Success on LinkedIn: Learning to Generate Results Using LinkedIn for Leads.
One of the most powerful things we can do on LinkedIn is share our content with our target audience. Tactics that can achieve this with a degree of precision are certainly worth our consideration.
Here are three actionable tips using paid and free tools within LinkedIn to help your business generate new business leads.
LinkedIn ads
Let's start with the basics: LinkedIn Ads is LinkedIn's version of pay per click. These ads consist of a headline of up to 25 characters, a description of up to 75 characters, an image and a URL.
It is a tool that costs money, but can provide lead generation for your business. Why? Any time you can connect your content to your target audience, you increase your chances for converting those views into sales.
Highlights of LinkedIn ads:
* They provides the potential to reach a different level of user that is not readily accessible on other platforms. They generate lower click volume than other platforms and yield fewer leads, but the quality tends to be better.
* One challenge is most people use LinkedIn for very short periods of time. This makes noticing any ad less likely than on Google where people are searching specifically for something.
Action tip: If you want start with this tool, keep an eye out for promotional coupons. Coupons for about $50 (or more) of free ads are generally available to test this platform.

TBP-related factor 1
TRF1 (TBP-related factor 1) shows significant similarity to TBP with approximately 63% sequence identity in the carboxy-terminal core domain (D'Alessio et al. 2009; Akhtar et al. 2011; Müller et al. 2010). Consistent with this, TRF1 interacts with TFIIA, TFIIB, and the TATA box, and mediates basal transcription by RNAPII in vitro. Furthermore, it can also direct transcription from the TC box-containing "upstream" promoter of the tudor gene in vivo. Remarkably, transcription from the TATA-containing "downstream" promoter of this gene is not directed by TRF1 but instead by TBP/TFIID. These observations indicate that TRF1 could function as a core promoter selectivity factor in living cells.
TRF1 was originally identified in Drosophila and currently appears to be specific to insects. Importantly, TRF1 forms a complex with BRF1 and mediates transcription by RNAPIII in vitro as well as in vivo. This is in stark contrast to other species ...

My Rating
Excellent day trip.
Well worth the money and the tour guide was great.
Vic and Kathy Adelaide SA
Paris, France
My Rating
Disappointing. Not enough time at various locations especially the Louvre. At this location our only free time was restricted to the gift shop - a waste of time. Perhaps if a pass out could have been arranged so you could go back later it would have been ok.
Boat trips were good and very enjoyable.
Also think that some sort of return arrangements back to the departure point should be included as not everyone would be able to get back easily.
Despite all this the guide did his best to make it an enjoyable and informative experience
