'The Bridge' movie trailer
This looks interesting. The backstory is even more interesting. Independent documentary filmmakers get permission to set up cameras in different locations to capture the beauty and essence of the the Golden Gate bridge over a period of months. During the filmmaking process the cameras also capture 24 suicides.
These events completely change the dymanic and intentions of the film.
I recall reading about this months ago. Some families were interviewed for the film, some denied access etc.
Sorry no google link to the story, but here's the trailer.
Here's a review I just found at IMDB.....
what brings a human being to intentionally finish his own life, to commit suicide? This documentary deeply analyzes the dynamics that pushed 24 people to kill themselves in 2004, jumping from the icon Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The movie premiered today at the new Rome Film Festival and I must say I was amazed by the accurate and shocking job the director did, putting a camera for one year long looking the bridge. He achieved a moving documentary that reflects the reality without being pathetic, always balancing the story, without being banal or simply an evil way of being voyeuristic. This movie aims to be almost anthropological in its precision, and really leaves the audience asking questions, they go out of the theatre thinking, and this is a great achievement because the theme itself is more than a taboo. The interviews of friends and parents are beyond easy interpretations, they show how sometimes life can affect human beings and change other people's life, that not always is possible to find the responsibilities or to answer the question:why did he do that? Extremely interesting, strong, but really worth it.

I'm not sure I'd see it, but it does look interesting.

So were there 24 jumps and 24 suicides, or did anyone survive the jump (yes, it is possible to survive the jump)?

i don't know if I buy the whole "filmmakers get permission to set up cameras in different locations to capture the beauty and essence of the the Golden Gate bridge over a period of months. During the filmmaking process the cameras also capture 24 suicides."
I just can't see that being reason the set up cameras over a long period of time. What (besides suicides) were they expecting to capture on film. What "beauty and essence" were they that they needed months to film?
Regardless, it looks interesting. I wish the film makers would just be honest and say they wanted to film suicides.

I don't know where the OP got that info, but everywhere else I've read about this movie it states that they were there specifically to capture the suicides, so they are being honest.

I guess I got my facts mixed up. Sorry.
Here's a great article on the project.
Bridge to nowhere: Filming the final act
A documentary that shows people committing suicide from the Golden Gate Bridge has been banned by film festivals and provoked fury among victims' relatives. The director told Andrew Gumbel why he made it
They say the Golden Gate Bridge is the most photographed monument in the world. The majestic two-mile span across the mouth of San Francisco Bay is a man-made wonder in the most idyllic of settings, with views of the rolling Marin headlands in one direction and the sun-kissed San Francisco skyline in the other.
But the Golden Gate is also, more sinisterly, the world's most popular location for committing suicide. Since the bridge opened in 1937, more than 1,200 people have made the (usually) fatal leap from the walkway beside the suspension deck to the water more than 250ft below. That works out to one every three weeks.
For several decades, this was San Francisco's dark secret - known to all, but discussed in public by almost nobody. One of the first breaks in the taboo came in the mid-1990s, when the media started reporting that the suicide tally was approaching 1,000. The Marin County coroner's office, which receives the dead bodies recovered from the Bay, begged them to stop reporting numbers for fear that it would trigger a rush of people vying to be number 1,000. The state Highway Patrol duly halted its official count at 997.
Now the issue has been brought glaringly to light by The Bridge, a documentary featuring graphic footage of suicide victims as they pace nervously up and down the walkway, climb over the 4ft railing between it and the void, then tumble to the water below.
Eric Steel, the New York director of the film, set up a crew at the south end of the bridge and kept them there every day during daylight for most of 2004. A second crew captured further footage from the north end. Not much eluded their cameras. Once he had captured the suicides on film, Steel tracked down their families and friends - usually with the help of the coroner's office - and interviewed them to develop as full a picture as possible of who these people were, what kind of demons they lived with, and what, if anything, they told their loved ones about their intentions.
The film has sparked a furore since it started screening in the spring. Several prominent festivals, including Sundance, Berlin and Cannes, refused to show it at all. In San Francisco, it provoked a torrent of criticism - not so much because of its tone or content, but because Steel was perceived to have resorted to deception to get it made. In the letter he wrote to secure his filming permit, he said he was interested in shooting the "powerful, spectacular intersection of monument and nature", and intended to move on from San Francisco to the great arch in St Louis and the Statue of Liberty. When he interviewed the families of the suicide victims, he did not tell them he had footage of the moment of their loved ones' deaths - provoking one family to fury when it found out the truth.
Steel vigorously denies that his motives were exploitative. The main reason he did not advertise what he was up to was to ward off the possibility that it might encourage someone to kill themselves. "As a film maker," he said, "it's a difficult thing to bear witness to what we saw. It will never not be a part of who I am. That I can live with. I don't think I would have been able to continue if we had provoked someone to jump."
Of the bridge authorities, he said: "They were aware of what we were seeing. We were always, or almost always, the first people to be calling in when we saw something unfold. We let them use our cameras to see what we were seeing. It's disingenuous on their part to act as if they were so shocked."
As for the families, he made his peace with them at a special advance screening. "It was the most terrifying screening I've done," he said. "Every one of the people who were there said: 'We're really glad you did this.' " Even the family of the suicide victim Lisa Smith, who had initially spoken out against him, came around, at least as he tells it. "They said it was hard to watch but they were glad the movie had been made. Lisa's mother, in particular, felt relieved to see her daughter jump and understand that she died instantly, and that when the coast guard retrieved her body she was intact - there was nothing spilling out of her body."
Steel is right to assert that his movie is far from a crude snuff film, as some of his unkinder critics have suggested. The footage of the bridge-jumpers is presented obliquely, chillingly, and with respect for who these individuals are and the pain that they are going through. It is a film about suicide much more than about the bridge, delving deep into the mental health histories of its subjects and sharing with their relatives and friends the anguish of wondering what might have been done to save them.
In that context, the footage of the jumpers on the bridge takes on a real poignancy. We see a long-haired young man called Gene Sprague pace anxiously up and down the walkway for a full 90 minutes before taking the plunge. We see tourists and recreational visitors walking, biking, taking photographs, laughing and, often, seeming oblivious to the human tragedies unfolding. We meet Richard Waters, a tourist from Pittsburgh, who happily snapped away on his digital camera as a girl in a hoody climbed over the safety railing and stood on the ledge. "When I was behind the camera," he explains in the film, "it was almost like it wasn't real." As Steel's cameras captured, however, he snapped out of it, tapped the girl on the shoulder, reeled her back over the railing by her hoody, sat on her chest and called the police on his mobile phone.
The very matter-of-factness of many of the deaths is one of their most shocking aspects. Another interview subject is Susan Ginwalla, a commuter who saw a burly, middle-aged man climb over the railing, hold out his arms and disappear. "When I went into the tower and talked to the highway patrolman," she recounts, "I asked him: 'Is this a rare occurrence or does it happen often?' And he looked at me and kind of smiled and said: 'It happens all the time.' "
By filming the bridge-jumpers from the outside, Steel hoped to find a way to understand the mindset that can lead to suicide. "I had this idea that someone had to walk a parking lot at either end of the bridge and walk out to a spot closer to the middle. And I realised that during that walk, you would be going through the final determinations that you are ending your life. If you could see that, you'd see the manifestation of the most difficult human emotional condition - despair of such magnitude."
His footage is helped enormously by the testimony of a bridge jumper who survived, a troubled young man called Kevin Hines, who has suffered three serious relapses into mental illness since making his leap in 2000 but nevertheless feels glad to be alive and is now a prominent campaigner for a suicide barrier.
Hines describes how he bought a last meal of cheap candy - Starburst and Skittles - from a Walgreen's pharmacy, then cried on the bus all the way to the bridge. He cried for another 40 minutes on the bridge itself, unsure whether to go through with his plan or not. Finally, a woman with a German accent asked him to take her picture. She was clearly oblivious to the torment he was suffering. "I thought, *beep* it, nobody cares," Hines recalls, "and I hurled myself over the bridge." It was in the few seconds' descent that he rediscovered his will to live. He managed to turn his body around from a head first position to a sitting position. The impact with the water shattered his lower lumbar bones and ribs, pieces of which pierced his vital organs but narrowly missed his heart. And so he survived. "I just want to be normal again," Hines says, "but I know I never will be."
Steel was moved to make his film after reading a piece in The New Yorker. But it also resonated with something that had haunted him since 11 September 2001 when, from his office window in lower Manhattan, he watched people jump to their deaths from the twin towers rather than burn in the flames. He asked himself what he would do in the same situation. Then, when he thought about the jumpers from the Golden Gate Bridge, he saw an odd parallel. "In their own minds, these people must have felt they had a choice either to throw themselves off the bridge or keep living lives that must have felt similar to them to the inferno at the World Trade Centre," he said. "One is a physical thing, the other a psychological one. But the parallel seemed clear to me."
Steel has had his own share of trauma, which has brought him closer than many to difficult questions of life and death. His brother died of cancer at the age of 17, and a year later his sister was killed by a drunk driver. "I didn't feel suicidal," he said, "but I never felt it was all that far away. I knew there were people for whom the idea entered their heads and was there all the time. These were not people who felt foreign to me."
That said, something about the Golden Gate Bridge is distinctly unusual. Every year, about 38,000 Americans commit suicide, most of them behind closed doors. Doing it in public, at a major tourist destination, is a different proposition. Much has been made of the fact that jumpers head for the Golden Gate Bridge, with its stunning architecture and beautiful backdrop, but almost never throw themselves off the much more workaday Bay Bridge linking San Francisco to Oakland and Berkeley.
In the film, the friends of Gene Sprague grapple with the question of why people like him are drawn to the site. Is it the idea of committing a public act and achieving a certain sort of fame? Is it about achieving the illusion of flying? It's clearly a horrible way to die - the impact crushing bones and impacting organs, even as sharks circle nearby - but it might not necessarily appear that way to people in a desperate and, perhaps, delusional state. "The bridge has a romance, a false romantic promise to it," says a friend of Sprague's, who appears in silhouette and is not named. "It romanticises him a bit in the legend, but he doesn't benefit from it. It's a bit like alcoholics talking about the romance of the bottle. The first sip is good, but everything else is hell."
Steel is clearly angry that the Bridge District has taken no preventive action over the decades. It has put money into a barrier between the pedestrian walkway and the road - even though no pedestrian has ever died in a traffic accident on the bridge. And it is talking now about building a median to reduce the already low risk of head-on collisions between vehicles. "They just don't seem willing to take any preventive measures to protect people who are mentally ill. It has nothing to do with engineering or cost. It comes down to morals."
His film has already had a galvanising effect. A $2m (£1m) study into a possible suicide barrier has now been commissioned. "Visual evidence," Steel said, "makes people bear witness to something that words cannot. The idea that thousands of people are going to be watching this in movie theatres and on DVDs and on television - the prospect must be overwhelming to them."

I saw this a few days ago and was kinda meh on the whole thing. Yeah its kinda interesting and you see about 5 people take the plunge on film but overall its really doesn't mean anything. The whole film doesn't seem to have a purpose other than to show these people commiting suicide. Friends and family are interviewed but the results are often borderline comical. The people will contradict each other, correct each other, and often times just make ridiculous comments. I actually laughed out loud at several parts of the interviews. A more experienced film maker would have trimmed up the interviews or redone them. They really took me out of the experience. Its worth seeing once because of the subject matter that you're unlikely to find elsewhere. Don't expect to gain any insight though into suicide.

Caught this on IFC a few weeks ago. I had the same feeling as RyoHazuki, I think I may have liked it a littler better though. Interesting movie, and a very serious subject matter (I have had a family member commit suicide) but overall I just got the meh feelings.
The night I laid my eyes on you, I felt everything around me move, Got nervous when you looked my way, But you knew all the words to say, And your love slowly moved right in, All this time, oh my love, where you been Mi, amore Don't you know, My love I want you so, Sugar, You make my soul complete, Rapture tastes so sweet

I feel differently than the two previous posts. I thought this doc was fascinating. Will be one of the best I see all year. The concept of suicide seems so foreign to me and to go out in such a public way added to the interest. Many of the family members added a poignant touch to a horribly sad subject.

Pros: Food and Service. Service was prompt, food was delicious. Did not feel rushed at all. Cons: A table for two is about the same as a table for two at McDonald's. Just a little too small. The place was packed, which is a good sign of quality, but a little to cramped and noisy. I will be going back, maybe with another couple so we can get a table for four.

Our group of 6 enjoyed everything we ordered, from appetizers to dessert. Try the grilled octopus meze. Among the entrees, the grilled Branzino and Lamb Shank were outstanding. Had seen some other comments knocking the service, but our waiter couldn't have been nicer or more attentive. Just be prepared for a high noise level.

Physical activity does not necessarily require going to the gym. Why spend time exercising indoors when you have the glorious wilderness to explore?! Hiking is a great workout—for the body and the mind. Even a couple miles is a great cardiovascular workout, especially if you're carrying extra weight like a backpack with water or snacks. The serenity of nature allows your mind to be at ease as you trek the trail. The combination of aerobic activity and meditation provides a unique experience,... Read More

See example test here: http://github.com/robfletcher/grails-springcache/blob/master/test/unit/grails/plugin/springcache/CacheKeyTests.groovy#L40
The @Theory annotated test is simply ignored (presumably because the @RunWith annotation on the class is).
Using @RunWith(Paramaterized) is even more problematic as it requires the test to have constructor arguments which the Grails runner does not allow.
Issue Links
- is duplicated by
GRAILS-6384 parameterized JUnit tests do not work
- Closed
- is related to
GRAILS-10551 Document breaking change in Junit integration tests

GRAILS-10552 Remove dead code: JUnit4GrailsTestType

Surely this is not minor? A whole class of JUnit tests has been missed, and a significant reason for upgrading to JUnit 4 (and Grails 1.3 by implication) is now pointless.
A non-passive way to achieve this might be to make use of @Rules. From what you list above it seems that a lot of the magic needs to be run once per test - i.e. setup transaction context before, then roll it back on finish. Something like this could also be accomplished though a rule. See org.junit.rules.TestWatchman as a class that might provide the right @Rule hooks to wrap the test with. Since rules wrap the test stack, they are the perfect place to inject such logic. It might even be possible to inject the rule into the test code at compile time making the change possibly passive.
As a side. Would it be possible to have this feature for unit tests only where things you mentioned are not a problem?
Couldn't grails use AOP to inject whatever behaviour it needs into the tests (DI, transaction, etc), without relying on a test runner?
This works in 2.3.0 master.
It will result in a breaking change that will require changes to user code for integration tests.
All integration tests that require dependency injection etc. now need to be annotated with
Since we no longer use the special test runner to run tests.
For Spock tests extending 'IntegrationSpec' also works

Do you ever just want a break? Like a weekend away, in the peace and quiet? Where you can sleep and no one is depending on you for anything and you can just walk around by yourself and feel like YOU again? I feel like I could benefit greatly from this. Today was rough. I was really tired (was up late and then lo woke up a couple times and he was up early). Usually I would nap when he does in the morning but the plumber was here (lol if any of you read my earlier post about that). Anyway, I was just so tired and basically laid around. I really didn't even feel up to interacting with lo. I did a little bit, and we went outside to look at the snow, but I just wanted to sit/sleep. I had dh come home early so I could have a break. Which is ridiculous because lo is SUCH a good baby. He really isnt whiny or demanding. So what is wrong with me? Why do I feel like I cant handle it right now? I only have one, why do I feel so drained, when, compared to others, I have it so easy? I just feel like such a bad mom right now

No, you're not a bad mom. Everyone has days like that, whether they have 1,2,3, or more kids. I recently got a whole day to sleep and do nothing because I was terribly sick and even that was nice. lol.

Nvidia today rolled out the welcome mat for the newest addition to its Kepler family, the GeForce GTX 670. The new 670 is "engineered from the same DNA as the recently announced GTX 680," but is a more affordable part with prices starting at $399 for cards built around Nvidia's reference design. And according to Nvidia, the 670 is a full 45 percent faster in gaming performance than the closest competitive product (i.e., AMD's Radeon HD 7950).
"Plus, the GeForce GTX 670 ties the competition's much higher-priced flagship product on 25 of the world's most popular games and benchmarks, a testament to the overall performance efficiency of the Kepler architecture," Nvidia claims .
In other words, the GTX 670 is all that a bag of chips, in Nvidia's eyes. Performance claims aside, the GTX 670 sports 1,344 CUDA cores, 112 texture units, and 32 ROP units. It has 2GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 6,008MHz on a 256-bit bus resulting in 192.2GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU has a base clockspeed of 915MHz and a boost clockspeed of 980MHz.
For comparison, the GTX 680 features a few more CUDA cores (1,536), more texture units (138), and a faster GPU (1,006MHz base, 1,058MHz boost). The GTX 680 is also a longer graphics card; the GTX 670 measures 9.5 inches long.
Technically, the GTX 670 is available to purchase now, but like all Kepler cards, that's contingent on being to find the darn thing in stock.

text: Ray Halbritter State lawmakers join pressure on Washington football team's mascot By Ryan Delaney & Associated Press • May 7, 2014 Keith Allison / via Flickr A group of New York state lawmakers are joining a growing national push for the pro football team the Washington Redskins to change its name. The group plans to introduce a resolution in the state legislature denouncing the football team's use of the word "redskin" and urging team owner Daniel Snyder to pick a new name. "The word is absolutely offensive to the Native American community and beyond," said Democratic Assemblyman Keith Wright, noting names like New York Giants and Jets are not offensive, except maybe to broken down jet engines. Congressional pressure builds on Redskins to change name By Ryan Delaney • Feb 10, 2014 Keith Allison / via Flickr An effort led by the Oneida Indian Nation to have Washington D.C.'s professional football team change its name has gained more support from members of Congress. U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., sent a letter Monday to NFL Commissioner Rodger Goodell urging the league to take a stand for the Washington Redskins to change its team name.

Founder - Walter CrawfordWalter spent his boyhood years in Venezuela, where his father worked as a field engineer for a petroleum company. The exotic birds in the jungles of South America caught the attention of the young boy and his interest in them eventually led Crawford to his life's work - the propagation, rescue, rehabilitation, and preservation of birds, especially birds of prey. Crawford, a Vietnam veteran, received a bachelor's degree from Southeast Missouri State University and a master's degree from Mississippi State University. With the blessing and support of the Zoo's Director Emeritus, Marlin Perkins, in 1977 Crawford founded what eventually came to be known as the World Bird Sanctuary. In 1982 he left the zoo to work full-time at the sanctuary. The work being done by Crawford and the rest of the World Bird Sanctuary staff has been enhanced by the opening of the World Bird Sanctuary's 105 acre nature park in 2000. Under Crawford's direction the World Bird Sanctuary is headquarters for an exciting combination of rescue, rehabilitation, research and education.

SkyWest flies in every direction. The airline operates through three carriers: SkyWest Airlines, Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA), and the newly acquired ExpressJet. SkyWest has destinations to about 275 cities in the US, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Combined, the carriers operate a fleet of about 700 aircraft consisting of Canadair regional – more... jets (CRJs, made by Bombardier) and turboprops. SkyWest also has a code-sharing agreement with Delta Air Lines and United Continental's United Airlines. (Code-sharing allows airlines to sell tickets on one another's flights.)
SkyWest picked up rival regional carrier ExpressJet through ASA for a reported $133 million. With the addition of ExpressJet's 1,300 daily scheduled departures, SkyWest saw about a 15% increase in departures for 2010. The expanded regional family has its sights set on continuing to serve Continental and United hubs.
Amid growing demand by airline giants to cut costs by outsourcing regional flights, SkyWest is moving to further diversify its operations and marketplace presence. Owning Expre Jet, SkyWest Airlines, and ASA positions SkyWest as a strong competitor for more business from Delta and United, as well as for contracts from other carriers. Industry turbulence, however, is growing as air carriers move to consolidate. In late 2010 the airline acquired a 30% stake in Vietnam-based Mekong Aviation (operating as Air Mekong) for a reported $7 million. SkyWest also stocked Air Mekong with several pilots from its ASA subsidiary. Air Mekong now flies to eight destinations from the US, including Da Nang, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Phu Quoc.
In the meantime, SkyWest entered into a marketing alliance in late 2009 with AirTran (now owned by Southwest Airlines). SkyWest Airlines operates aircraft for AirTran Airways under a under a pro-rate arrangement (a system that gives SkyWest the ability to control aircraft types, customer service, fare pricing, flight schedules, and routes served). The company manages flights between Milwaukee and a handful of destinations, primarily located in the Midwestern US. The AirTran partnership lets SkyWest continue to provide regional service from Milwaukee, a hub that the carrier served through a former Midwest contract.
In mid-2009 SkyWest announced it was pulling the plug on its contract to provide regional service for Midwest Airlines. SkyWest became a Midwest Connect carrier in 2007, but the relationship began to falter in 2008, after Midwest (along with the rest of the airline industry) ran into trouble with high fuel prices followed by the economic downturn. SkyWest removed the last of its aircraft from Midwest's routes in early 2010.
All told, the airline carried about 4.4 million passengers in 2010, nearly a 17% increase from the previous year. Although revenue per available seat mile declined more than 8%, the company was able to reduce cost per available seat mile by about the same amount.
SkyWest leases more than 75% of its aircraft. Aircraft rentals for 2010 totaled $11.1 million, up about 4% from 2009. The cause for the uptick in lease fees can be attributed to leasing four CRJ900 aircraft for Air Mekong and more than $3.5 million in aircraft rental fees related to the acquisition of ExpressJet.
Along with regional passenger transportation, which accounts for nearly all of its sales, SkyWest provides ground handling services -- loading and unloading of aircraft -- for other airlines at several of the airports where it operates. – less

Retirement Security:
Annuities with Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawals Have Both Benefits and Risks, but Regulation Varies across States
GAO-13-75: Published: Dec 10, 2012. Publicly Released: Jan 9, 2013.

What GAO Found
Annuities with guaranteed lifetime withdrawals can help older Americans ensure they do not outlive their assets, but do present some risks to consumers. Two such products, variable annuities with guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits (VA/GLWB) and contingent deferred annuities (CDA), share a number of features but have some important structural differences. For example, both provide consumers with access to investment assets and the guarantee of lifetime income, but while VA/GLWB assets are held in a separate account of the insurer for the benefit of the annuity purchaser, the assets covered by a CDA are generally held in an investment account owned by the CDA purchaser. Consumers can benefit from these products by having a steady stream of income regardless of how their investment assets perform or how long they live, while at the same time maintaining access to their assets for unexpected or other expenses. VA/GLWBs and CDAs are complex products that present some risks to consumers and require them to make multiple important decisions. For example, consumers might purchase an unsuitable product or make withdrawal decisions that could negatively affect their potential benefits. Several insurers and regulators GAO spoke to said it was important for consumers to obtain professional financial advice before purchasing these products and making key decisions. These products can also create risks for insurers which, if not addressed, could ultimately affect insurers' ability to provide promised benefits to consumers.
VA/GLWBs are considered to be both securities and insurance products, and are therefore covered by both federal securities regulations and state insurance regulations. For CDAs, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners committee responsible for life insurance and annuities products has determined CDAs to be life insurance products subject to state law and regulation for annuities. According to SEC officials, existing CDAs have been registered as securities with SEC, and therefore are covered by both federal securities laws and regulations, and state insurance regulations. At the state level, NAIC has developed state disclosure and suitability regulations for annuity products. However, states differ on the extent to which they have adopted these annuity regulations, and some do not have protections at all. As a result, consumers in states that have adopted different regulations may benefit from different levels of protection. NAIC and state regulators told GAO that they are currently reviewing the regulations of CDAs. In March 2012, NAIC began reviewing existing annuity regulations to determine whether any changes are needed to address the unique product design features of CDAs, including potential modifications to annuity disclosure and suitability standards. It is also reviewing what kinds of capital and reserving requirements may be needed to help insurers manage product risk. In addition, NAIC and the National Organization of Life and Health Guaranty Associations are each working to determine whether state insurance guaranty funds, which protect consumers in the event insurers become insolvent, cover CDA products. Both agree that each state will have to reach its own conclusion about whether their particular state guaranty fund laws allow for CDA coverage. Until these regulatory issues are resolved, consumers may not be fully protected.
Why GAO Did This Study
As older Americans retire, they may face rising health care costs, inflation, and the risk of outliving their assets. Those entering retirement today typically face greater responsibility for managing their retirement savings than those who retired in the past. Lifetime income products can help older Americans ensure they have income throughout their retirement. VA/GLWBs and CDAs, two such products, may provide unique benefits to consumers. According to industry participants, while annuities with GLWBs have been sold for a number of years, CDAs are relatively new and are not widely available. GAO was asked to review issues relating to these financial products. This report (1) compares the features of VA/GLWBs and CDAs and examines potential benefits and risks to consumers and potential risks to insurers, and (2) examines the regulation of these products and the extent to which regulations address risks to consumers. GAO analyzed insurance company product information, proposed and final rules and regulations, and studies and data related to retirement and product sales. GAO also interviewed federal and state regulators and selected insurers, consumer advocates, and industry organizations.
GAO provided a draft of this report to NAIC and SEC. Both provided technical comments, which have been addressed in the report, as appropriate.

(File Photo)
Frustrated by years of futile negotiations with the Old Dominion Boat Club regarding its waterfront parking lot, Mayor Bill Euille on Tuesday said the city was prepared to use eminent domain.
This would be wrong, for many reasons.
Philosophically, the idea of government taking property from an unwilling private individual or entity is unjustified unless doing so meets a vital public need. Justifiable examples of eminent domain include building a much-needed highway or a fire station in a neighborhood without one.
Now, a waterfront plaza undoubtedly would look nicer than the club's parking lot, but it's certainly not an essential public need.
The ability to own private property and freedom of speech are the two pillars of democracy. The security of all of our other rights rest on them. These rights are eroded each time eminent domain is utilized — at the city, state or federal level — to take property for anything other than an essential need.
It might be tempting for residents to favor seizing the parking lot. But remember: If one person's property is not protected, then no one's property is ultimately safe.
But this isn't just a philosophical argument; it's also a matter of fairness. The club legally owns this lot. Because most members do not live within walking distance, the lot is a critical component of the group's ability to continue functioning.
Also, the last thing the city needs is another drawn-out, expensive legal fight. Surely no one at City Hall is under the illusion that the boat club is going to roll over without a protest if officials invoke eminent domain, right? This move would embroil the city in yet another protracted legal battle, with fees likely costing hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars.
There's a final reason why eminent domain is the wrong move: the smell factor. Many in Alexandria already accuse our elected officials of being too cozy with developers and engaging in backroom deals. Taking the club lot and building a plaza will directly benefit four entities far more than anyone else: Carr Hospitality, JBG, EYA and CityInterests — the companies that own and want to develop land along the waterfront.
Taking land from one private entity that directly and financially benefits another private entity was at the heart of the Supreme Court case of Kelo v. City of New London in 2005. In her dissent (the court ruled 5-4 in favor of eminent domain), then-Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote: "Any property may now be taken for the benefit of another private party, but the fallout from this decision will not be random. The beneficiaries are likely to be those citizens with disproportionate influence and power in the political process, including large corporations and development firms."
O'Connor's words apply here. The city should not use eminent domain against the Old Dominion Boat Club. It's not fair, it's not smart and it would disproportionately benefit out-of-town developers at the expense of an Alexandria institution. It is the wrong move.

The Boat Club should willingly sell that lot if they cared at all about the city of Alexandria and what was best. It's an eyesore that has no place being there. It doesn't fit in and that land needs to be better utilized. The fact is that cities have main areas and just because the boat club has been there forever doesn't mean that they should be ignoring the current needs of the city. I just can't understand why the Boat Club won't cooperate here, but since they won't the city needs to do what they need to do.
Aside from the prospects of corruption involved, someone will have to explain to me how we are going to teach our children not to be bullies when we are bullies ourselves. Let's face it, pure and simple, that is exactly what is involved here. The mayor wants to push the boat club around just because it can. The city has the power and muscle to abuse, so that is what it intends to do. Even the threats are abusive.
I may not like the boat club, but then I don't like the Masonic Temple either. That doesn't give me the moral right to take what isn't mine. Like the examples above, i.e., a highway or firehouse, there may be justification under certain very very very rare circumstances. This is clearly NOT one of them.
BTW, if Kevin has a private residence, lets see if he wants to have it forcibly taken from him just because somebody thinks the neighborhood would be improved with his eradication.
Who do you work for Kevin?
As a proud member of the Old Dominion Boat Club it amazes me that the City Council is still trying to land grab our parking lot AND Boat launch. There is a reason boat launch ramps are NOT pedestrian walk ways! Backing a boat onto a narrow ramp is hard enough without worrying about running over people! The Club also allows the City of Alexandria to use their boat ramp to launch the City's rescue and fire boats free of charge. The fence may be ugly but is required for lot security. Think about it.. Would you leave your Alexandria home unlocked all day? All night? Of course not. I am all for flood mitigation efforts and the Club has agreed many times to work with the city to that end! But this is not so people can just walk along the waterway… This is a land grab and IF the city owns the land, they can then develop it anyway they want to.
If I didn't value my truck and boat so much, I would let the city council members attempt to negotiate the strand alley, get through the gate and back the boat into the water. NOT an easy task, but do-able in the current parking lot configuration. The way the city would cut into the parking lot and open the ramp to people would make for a very dangerous situation. And if someone is run over, do you think they would sue the City? Or the Boat Club???
I wish the City managers would concentrate their efforts into other problematic areas of the city and stop trying to steal the ODBC parking lot!
My Two Cents!
Mr. Bill
The Boat Club is private property. Their members are being forced to spend an enormous amount of money fighting the city for the last ten years, that money could of been spent on making their parking lot look nice and working with the city on the flooding problems. Also, couldn't the city use the money they are spending on trying to take private land on things that would benefit all the residents of Alexandria & not just those businesses that are on the waterfront?
I think I heard that it was the city that put up that ugly fence a long time ago (without the permission of the Boat Club). I think that the Boat Club drew up plans some time ago to redo the lanscaping and fence to make it a much more attractive area and they were going to do it at their own expense but the city blocked the action.
Doesn't the city have a waterfront parking lot just on the southside of of Prince Street ? Its leased to a private party but is making money for the city. Shouldn't the city clean up its act before it criticizes others.
The author's article is spot on. Allowing the use of eminent domain would set a dangerous precedent. The city would be better served seeking ways to partner with the boat club to improve the look and function of the club and parking lot (and Whale's Alley while we're at it) without threatening to take them away. From what I know of the club, members are more than willing to work with the city to upgrade the lot including more attractive fencing materials and landscaping which would dramatically improve the aesthetics. That may not go as far as some would like, but would be a win – even if a small one – for everyone involved. In my opinion, that's where the discussion should lie. Let's stop with the legal tactics. Like it or not, the club has a right to be there and clear ownership of this property. Let's figure out how to work together to make the best of what exists.
I applaud the Alexandria Times for standing up for private property rights, but also for pointing out the strong-arm tacktics the City of Alexandria has been using to give away our waterfront to influential developers.
It is a shame the the City of Alexandria is misleading people to believe that the Old Dominion Boat Club has not been willing to work out a reasonable solution. In fact, the Boat Club has been trying to do so since the 1980's. The real truth is that the CIty of Alexandria has not been willing to negotiate in good faith. They are happy to spend taxpayer's money on lenghty, drawn out legal battles in hopes of wearing down the club. If the publc only knew what has been offered in the past and how the end of King Street could have been more open and accessable to the public 30 years ago. The City of Alexandrtia has been unfair, dishonest, and has misled everyone involved.
Citizen's who believe the rhetoric being fed to us by the our politicians and administrators need to open their eyes and learn a bit more about the true history of the waterfront. Comments like the one posted by Kevin are indicitive of people who only know one side of the story and believe everything they hear.
Hello Kevin.
All I can say to your comment is that if you don't understand now I hope you never understand. Because for you to understand the situation, you would need to have some bully of an entity try to take away what is legally yours. Drag you through long and expensive legal battles to protect yourself from what rightfully belongs to you. I don't know you, but I don't wish that kind of stress and burden on you or anyone.
Best regards,
Les Thomas
What is a boat club, it is a place that people who love the water and can afford to have boats will have the ability to launch or dry dock their craft. This is never mentioned in the press and that is reason as important as parking. A successful club can not operate without water access. Now, as perhaps the oldest member, in club association, I remember the days When the City gave no help or recognition to the first three blocks of King Street. They were inhabited by drunks and bag ladies. All of the property was filled, as storage space, for building materials owned by a wealthy local builder. The Boat Club did its best to keep that part of Alexandria spruced up and worked closely with the city in many public affairs efforts like parades, parties for children, supporting the rowing classes and a many other endeavors.
å thought just occurred to me, why not in the investigation of flood activities consider building an underground garage for the Club leaving a narrow drive way and space at the waters edge for dry storage and launching capabilities. If done attractively it would accent Alexandria's boating history
Norm Hatch
Well said Norm! What the Alexandria Patch and Washington Newspaper articles fail to mention is that there are over 800 Club members. Even if only 10% of the club members show up for an event the existing parking lot is jammed. If they cut down those spots 40% where do they think current members are going to park? Should we be forced into pay parking because the city wants a land grab? The city wants to force off site storage of boats and trailers, but not giving the club any land for that purpose? Would they provide lot security for that lot? Would they be liable for damage to Club property for opening up the lot? Hardly anyone uses the park and it's not because of the parking lot. It's because the Park is unlit at night and has a Rat problem! Allowing people to walk onto an active boat ramp is NEVER a good idea!
For the life of me, I can't figure out what the City is doing! The best solution would be to give the ODBC MORE land from the park side so the Alley lines up with the lot entrance. Yet, all they want to do is take, take take. I can't imagine the City agreeing to do that! That would be the most logical thing, but I haven't heard that from the City! The whole thing smells and the City surly has other issues that one would think would be more important that messing with an institution as good as the ODBC.

So why are HRC, The New York Times, and others attempting demonize NOM simply because they have sought to marshal the black and Hispanic communities to speak out for marriage—and much to the chagrin of the Democratic Party, which is in the precarious position of opposing and potentially alienating a segment of largely Democratic supporters who support marriage? Why wouldn't NOM seek to organize, support, and encourage those groups to uphold the integrity of marriage? There is nothing sinister or underhanded about that. The question we should be asking is why the Democratic Party feels that it can ignore this significant segment of its constituency with impunity.
The reason why NOM's opponents are so enraged is because NOM is effective. So rather than address the substantive merits of the marriage debate, they engage in unsubstantiated character assignation—no differently than what they have done and continue to do to any individual or organization that supports marriage. That's why HRC released what they had to know were confidential IRS records, which likely came directly and illegally from an IRS official. Those documents reflect the names of confidential donors who, understandably, might want to remain anonymous lest they suffer the same hate-filled personal and professional attacks that NOM and their allies endure daily for standing up for what they believe is right. So much for tolerance.

On September 15, 1963, during Sunday school classes at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, a bomb exploded, killing four girls: Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, Cynthia Wesley and Addie Mae Collins. In the early 1960's many college students came to the South from around the country to help the civil rights movement. In the "Freedom Summer" of 1964, three students, Michael Schwerner, James Chaney, and Andrew Goodman were murdered shortly after being released from a jail in Philadelphia, Mississippi. The subsequent federal trial became one of the first to eventually bring convictions for crimes against civil rights activitsts. Outrage over their killing helped spur passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Ferrari has praised the supreme efforts of Fernando Alonso this year - saying his second place in the drivers' standing is amazing considering the struggles his team has faced with its car this year.
Alonso's third place finish in Monza has lifted him into the position of Sebastian Vettel's nearest challenger albeit 112 points behind the Red Bull Racing driver.
Nevertheless, Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali thinks Alonso has done a brilliant job to get ahead of quality opposition like Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and Mark Webber.
"I think Fernando did a fantastic race," said Domenicali. "It was an incredible start. I have heard people say that that moment was worth the price of the ticket. To see how he was aggressive, in terms of procedure and attacking, it was really fantastic.
"And then I think Fernando did a fantastic race. He was really good, always attacking, and unfortunately now we are paying the price of the fact that we don't have the best performing car.
"It is clear that Red Bull Racing is incredibly strong, and McLaren is really strong too. So to see him now he is second in the drivers' championship classification means a lot, considering where we are at the moment, in terms of performance and the problems we had since the beginning. I think Fernando is doing a fantastic championship."
Although Alonso still has a mathematical chance of winning the championship, Ferrari says that the main focus now is on trying to win races and get itself better prepared for 2012.
"I think that for sure it is very, very, very, very, very, very, difficult," said Domenicali about the championship. "The only thing we can do is to not focus on it. We must try to maximise what we can do, but now it is clear for Sebastian I would say that he has the chance in his hands.
"We want to go to Singapore in different conditions. We hope to be more competitive but we need to see.
"We are bringing some new bits that were already planned and in production, and it is another situation where we try to maximise the points, because we have the classification we need to fight for.
"And we need to make sure of the job we do not only in Singapore, but in other races, so we can work on some things that we can already anticipate for the project for next year. That will be very important no doubt."

A state in the western US; population 2,736,424 (est. 2008); capital, Salt Lake City; statehood, Jan. 4, 1896 (45). The region, a part of Mexico from 1821, was ceded to the US in 1848. The first permanent settlers, who arrived in 1847, were Mormons fleeing persecution. Statehood was refused until the Mormons renounced polygamy—a dispute that led to the Utah War 1857–58.

Relf guides Mississippi State to Egg Bowl upset
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Coaches always say they take one game at a time, but the clock in Mississippi State's locker room tells a different story.
That timepiece had been counting down to the Egg Bowl matchup against Mississippi (No. 25 BCS, No. 20 AP) since first-year coach Dan Mullen took over last winter, and when it hit zero the Bulldogs put on quite the show.
Anthony Dixon rushed for 133 yards and set the school single-season rushing mark, Chris Relf rushed for 131 yards and accounted for three touchdowns and the Bulldogs manhandled the Rebels 41-27 on Saturday.
"This program is on the rise," Mullen said, "maybe to the contrary of what some others are saying around the state."
It was the most points scored by the Bulldogs (5-7, 3-5 SEC) in the 106-year-old series since a 41-14 victory in 1917, and the most Ole Miss (8-4, 4-4) has given up this season.
The Egg Bowl was supposed to be a victory lap for the Rebels, who appeared on their way to their second straight nine-win season for the first time since 1961-62, second place in the SEC West and a balmy bowl appearance somewhere in central Florida.
Dixon and Relf had other plans, pushing Mississippi State to more than four wins for just the second time since 2000 by accounting for 64 percent of the offense. The Bulldogs treated the regular-season finale like a bowl and made the home team winners for the 10th time in 11 games.
"In a rivalry game like this, for those 3 hours you've got to want it," Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt said.
And it was clear in the second half once Relf and Dixon got rolling that Mississippi State wanted it more.
Relf has been Tyson Lee's backup and shared playing time all season, but was often given the short hook after mistakes. This time he played most of the second half and dominated Ole Miss with 131 yards rushing, averaging 10 yards per carry on his first 10 and 8.7 overall.
The run specialist also stung the Rebels with touchdown passes of 2 and 34 yards, rallying the Bulldogs from a 13-10 halftime deficit.
The second scoring pass -- a 34-yard lob to Chad Bumphis, who broke three tackles on the play -- came on fourth and 9. He also mined the edge of the Ole Miss defensive front on the option for several big runs, clinching the game with a 10-yard power rush with 10:56 left.
"Chris got it rolling and got a feel for what was going on and we were able to run the football," Mullen said. "I think they had 11 guys on the line of scrimmage and we were able to run the football."
Mississippi State's defense set the tone early, stopping Ole Miss short of the goal-line and forcing two field goals in the first half. The young Bulldogs secondary finished off the job in the second half when Corey Broomfield returned an interception 64 yards for a touchdown and Charles Mitchell picked off his second pass of the game.
The Rebels' only success came on long pass plays for touchdowns -- 20 yards to Shay Hodge, who became the first receiver at Ole Miss with 1,000 yards in a season (1,023), 48 yards to Markeith Summers and 52 yards to Dexter McCluster.
The Bulldogs mostly held McCluster in check, allowing just 82 yards rushing to snap a four-game streak of 100-plus against SEC opponents. And though Jevan Snead finished with 275 yards passing, the three interceptions were costly.
The Bulldogs carried the golden egg-shaped trophy given to the winner to the end zone and celebrated with fans after the victory, dancing as a group to "Who Let the Dogs Out."
Ole Miss, on the other hand, got out of Starkville as quickly as possible. The buses pulled away from the stadium a half hour after Mullen saluted the crowd over the public address system.
"It is a sick feeling," Nutt said. "It is not what we planned."
Dixon finished the season with 1,391 yards in 11 games, eight more than James Johnson's 1998 record set over 13 games, and now owns every significant rushing record at Mississippi State.
His dive to catch the pylon for a 2-yard score got the Bulldogs offense rolling and set the tone for a running game that couldn't be stopped. Mississippi State had 317 of its 412 total yards on the ground.
"I had a lot of fun," Dixon said. "We beat our rival. I knew a bunch of them dudes on the other side. We were talking back and forth the whole game."

I contacted the seller for a tracking number because I did not get one, and I received a response the next day. Overall this item is what I have been looking for. my doctor said it will do just fine for self-use. However there is one minor fault with it. It had some type of dark colored grease residue on the inside of the shaft. It was easily removed with a piece of steel wool shoved in and sponged out with soapy water. Yeah, the thing leaks somewhat, but you should be using this in the shower or near a sink with a towel on the floor anyway. The syringe itself has a powerful blast to it, so go easy when you first use it. Recommended by my Doctor: Put 2-3 drops of mineral oil in each ear twice a day for one week(2 at Walmart or Woodman's). Then ball up some tissue or use ear plugs so it does not drip out. Keep the tissue/ear plugs in for 10-15 minutes while tilting your head so the mineral oil can descend into the ear canal and then take them out. When the oil leaks out just wipe it with tissue, but REFRAIN from flushing your ears for the whole week. It takes some days to soften up the wax as it tends to harden and stick to the ear drum. Do this process for the better part of a week. At the end of the week of the mineral oil process, fill a bowl of warm water(not hot, not lukewarm and not cold)and blast the water in each ear about 4-5 times. Not too hard. I would say 1/2 - 3/4 push and repeat with each ear. Do not put the nozzle inside the ear, but aim at the inside of the ear canal about a centimeter or so away from the hole. This way the water that flushes out can have an escape route. You might get a minor ear irritation after the process, but that is only temporary and lasts no more than 10-20 minutes. Especially if you never did this sort of thing before. It definitely beats cue-tips, the bulb flusher, or any of the various ear-wax kits out there as I have used them all. Mineral Oil is all you need. Olive Oil is also a good alternative, but it is expensive and you will get the same results. Why waste the extra money on premium stuff. After I did this process I seen a lot of balled up softened ear wax fall out in large gunks. It was disgusting to say the least, but after I was finished, I felt like I had a pair of brand new ears. In fact, I felt like I had the hearing of a dog or some bat-sonar. It feels great to have extremely clear hearing again. Everything was audible and I have no problems hearing anymore or asking to repeat the question due to clogged up ear-wax. As a final note it is recommended to do this process at least once every 6-12 months. To deter a large wax build-up for the next time it would be wise to put mineral oil in both ears(2-3 drops each) once or twice a week before a shower/bath. don't worry about flushing it out. It will leak out eventually anyway and take small amounts of wax with it. Then when it comes time to flush your ears it will be that much easier and you can skip the 2-3 drops twice a day for a week and go right to the flushing process. I hope this helps those out there who have major ear-wax build-up problems like I had. It really does do an excellent job. Try it and you will see. I have had ear-wax build-up problems for 20 years and had them flushed professionally on several occasions, but doing it myself now saves me a trip from the Doctor. Highly recommended! 5 stars for sure.

The product unfortunately came in an open cardboard box from Pakistan and it clearly banged around a bit during transport. It placed a series of dents on the tube which makes it somewhat hard to use the full range of the plunger. It still works and much more control is needed, but could have been avoided if some styrofoam or air bags were used.

2013 version of a popular railroad simulation game
Windows 8 / Windows 7 / Windows Vista / Windows XP
Train Simulator 2013 is a highly realistic rail system simulation software for managing and building railways.
All aboard for a highly immersive rail experience! Train Simulator 2013 features accurate renderings of major trains and railway stations. Train Simulator uses actual sound recordings and blueprints from these major railway hubs to create a unique experience full of detail. Train styles such as the ICE train system in Europe is accurately replicated. The addition of the ICE train system introduced several new extended routes, such as the German route to Munich from the north.
Train Simulator 2013 features several new functions for game variability. The quick drive system allows users to select a train from major collections in a visual layout. Several train routes are available with each train for different exercises. Final selections on environmental factors can be adjusted for each route. This includes the time of day, weather and seasonal factors such as snow. This makes for a unique riding experience. The driver can experience heavy rain in the Swiss Alps or a calm, sunny drive through interurban traffic. The signaling system is more advanced in this version, and it is more reliable for guiding train stops and track changes.
Entering the cab after a train and route selection allows drivers to change vantage points for driving. An extended display shows more features on the control panel for advanced users. Camera views include a fly-by view and interior cab vantage points for full control.
In similar simulation fashion, the selection of exercises is more advanced in Train Simulator. Career paths and specific task lists are provided on each route. Each train has varying degrees of control based on accurate renderings of locomotive engine styles. A route from San Francisco to St. Louis could have a radically different experience than a route from Munich to Paris. Railway services can run along the mountains and hillsides with ease. The rendering software is stable and allows for fast changes between scenarios.
• Multiplayer mode
• Train selection in quick drive is more visual
• Most realistic layout of routes and train hardware to date
• Difficult gaming exercises
• Lack of content for some major routes
