Hey guys, I know a lot of you are excited for Set 12 so I decided to post some of the translated flavor text and quotes (official, but not final) that I have sitting right in front of me. Enjoy!
Sungod / Unknown
'…Hear me, being from another world. By divine judgment do I banish you to another dimension.'
When Alphonce and Verlaat fight against Elgandi, the brothers' powers combine and materialize into the advent of this being of light. He is the very being who Abel, founder of the True God Church, was seeking. As the culimination of the True God Church's cardinals' Living God Project, he uses his overwhelming power to return Elgandi to another world.
Solar General / Zagar
'The fighting is over…but will we really be at peace in the future?'
The Solar Kingdom's high general. He was victorious against the Abyssal Forces, and the marriage of Verlaat and Eskatia signified the end of the War of the Sun and Moon. However, Zagar harbored a small, unseen doubt in his heart. That doubt manifests twenty years later in the worst form imaginable.
Holy Commander / Lapierre
'Feels like we've reached a good stopping point. I might just have myself a nice long vacation.'
Commander of Folrart's Shrine Knights. During the War of the Sun and Moon, she took part in the fight against Annarose, and finally won. At a banquet for end of the war, she drinks her favorite wine and makes an important decision about her career. Lapierre leaves the front lines, and twenty years later she retires, passing Lantylit to a young Shrine Knight.
Cardinal / Messala
'Thank you for the report, Violet. The Envoy of Chaos did make a good 'villain', though. Now that the divine awakening has begun, let's move ahead with our purpose.'
One of the True God Church's cardinals. She's feared within the church for her Eyes of Ice. The true mistress of the magic doll Violet X2, she's been working with Gilensa to advance the Living God Project.

The woman who ruled the Duchy of Crest. A year after the final battle, she announces to the entire world the end of the war and her marriage to the Solar King.

Lunar General / Dical
'That was such a long struggle... Now I can finally rest.'
A general in Crest's army, and a remnant of the centaurs. Long ago, Elgandi attacked their village and slaughtered nearly all of them. Dical survived, and with a witch's incantation prolonging his life, he sought his revenge. When Elgandi vanished, the incantation begain to unravel, and Dical in turn quietly vanished from this world.
War Torn Dragonrider / Millia
'…Let's go on Gladeel, and get rid of the corruption that exists in the world.'
The dragon knight who working alongside Alphonce. She takes part in the battle with and helps secure victory against Annarose, who appears during the War of the Sun and Moon.

Crest Adjutant / Famille
'A gruesome age has ended. Now each nation must join hands and govern for the good of the world.'
A civil official who distinguished himself after the War of the Sun and Moon. As a subordinate of Guard Captain Afeemina, he assertively established alliances with other nations to rally the Duchy of Crest when it was starting to collapse from within.

The kingdom raised its voices in delight, and at this point she could not imagine the crisis of destruction they'd face in twenty years...
Crimson Hero / Dilate
'I'm no hero. I'm just a guy who chased his dream.'
The young man who defeated the Goddess of Darkness, Noze. His efforts changed the course of the battle for the fate of the world. If Noze managed to reach Elgandi, the outcome of the battle would have been different. After the fight he disappears from the stage of history, but in the legends he's known as the Crimson Hero. Rumors say he lived out his days peacefully, deep in the mountains with a girl he rescued.
Gun God / Ben MacLachlan
'Yuni, Fierte. I'm sorry it looks like I ran away…but now that I have this gun I have to be on my own.'
The man who raised the Mercenary Kingdom's Princess Yuni and Prime Minister Fierte. It was said he died fighting a certain bounty, but actually he was dragged into the intrigue surrounding a legendary gun he acquired He had been living in the underworld, but when he heard the girls were involved in the war for the future of humanity, he fought the Abyssal Forces himself.
Heroic Faerie / Torte

During the conflict, the faerie heroines sense an evil even greater than Elgandi. Shortly after the battle, she quietly slips away from her human friends in order to prepare for the fight against the true evil to come. And come it does, twenty years after the end of the war...
Wizard Princess / Ariete
'I am... Ariete, princess of the Wizard Kingdom. Let us make an effort toward an ongoing world peace.'
The new princess of the Wizard Kingdom. She obtained a tome of seals called the Book of Record, which controls all magic, and now it's known as the Archive. She's begun to awaken to the fact that she's a princess, and she and her prime minister are now pouring all their energies into rebuilding the kingdom. She abandons her original name, and adopts a new name as its princess.
Goddess of Darkness / Noze
'Okay, fine! I'll show you what happens when I get serious! So you better not expect to ever leave here alive!'
Noze, having absorbed Galdirea, had become the goddess of darkness. She had use her own power to make servants to defeat the hero Dilate, but they were all beaten and she was forced into a corner. Then, before she could reach her master Elgandi, she was stopped by the Crimson Hero and his companions. She was to be used by Elgandi as a device to manipulate causality. It appears history would have taken a very different turn had she managed to arrive at the final showdown.
Regus Paladin / Ibert
'It's still not too late to recover. That's what makes us human. We'll make this a peaceful world, even if that idiot isn't around.'
A man who fought the Goddess of Darkness as Dilate's friend, rival, and ally. After the battle ends, he parts ways with Dilate, and devotes himself to restoring the collapsed Wizard Kingdom. He used to dislike serving his kingdom, but after winning the recent conflict he decided willingly to use his powers for his native land. ...However, he meets with a tragic fate twenty years from now.
Paladin Captain / Mirelia
'Let's watch over Bernet until she can stand on her own.'
The commander of the reborn Wizard Kingdom's knights. She assumes this office in order to watch over Bernet, who surmounted the collapse of the Wizard Kingdom, became its princess, and changed her name. Of Regus's paladins besides Mirelia and Ibert, Larut and Inzaghi died in battle, Durendal becomes the world's enemy, and Distrier ends up embarking on a roving journey in pursuit of Durendal.
New God of Evil / Elgandi
'Game over for me, huh…? …Well, looks like I'm not going to die, I'll have extra lives in the next world.'
Elgandi is banished by the power of a being of light who suddenly appears. Unable to return to his original world, what kinds of evil deeds will he commit in this world he's been banished to? His final words are 'Even with me gone, this world won't be at peace. In fact, you'd probably have been happier if I'd become your god. Not that you know what I mean... yet.' The meaning of this becomes clear twenty years later.
Guide of Causality / Fellana
'This is the gate that takes you to the gods of the world. …Just one more step forward, and you can become a god.'
Fellana was abducted and taken to Elgandi when the Wizard Kingdom collapsed. Together with Sumer, she opened the gate of causality for Elgandi. Why she did this for him is unknown, but it seems something Sumer said to her had some influence.
Keeper of Causality / Sumer
'Eeh-hehe, this is a crossroad of destinies. Now, the rest is a race against time.'
Sumer was researching the laws of cause and effect under Elgandi. As Fellana cooperates with her in this, they succeed in opening the door to causuality. However, the Sumer who was helping Elgandi turned out to be a fake, a body double made by the real her. She said to Fellana 'I'm waiting in the arms of fate', and then she vanished.
Alright that's it, I hope you enjoyed reading up on the stories and background of our newest set's character cards!

Our valuation reports are updated on each trading date.
Yale finance professor Dr. Zhiwu Chen has done an excellent job of transforming academic research and rigorous mathematics into a practical investing tool. The valuation model combines 12-month trailing EPS, consensus analyst estimates, and the 30-year Treasury yield to come up with a fair value price for any stock. Then its forecast model uses common market trends such as momentum and price reversals, and runs simulations to determine the most probable price outcomes over three years. - Forbes
Note on the Models used to create the reports:
These company reports employ many proprietary models, which were adapted from innovative concepts in finance theory generated both in academia and from Wall Street practice. Each of the four models represents the state-of-the-art in valuation, forecasting technologies:
1) The Stock Valuation Model
2) The Stock Forecast Model
3) The Portfolio Advisor Model
4) The Portfolio Forecast Model
The Stock Valuation Model
The Stock Valuation Model was derived from the recent research and findings of Dr. Zhiwu Chen, Professor of Finance, Yale University, and his co-authors. The model is more sophisticated than traditional valuation models and outperforms its peers by employing a three-factor approach to stock valuation. Fundamental variables such as a company's trailing 12-month Earnings-Per-Share (EPS), the analyst consensus estimate of the company's future 12-month EPS, and the 30-year Treasury yield are all combined and used to create a more accurate reflection of a company's fair value. Armed with these framework features, the Model then paints a detailed picture of a company's fair value, which is represented by the model price.
The Stock Forecast Model
The predictive variables used in the forecasting models include both proprietary and well-established forecasting variables derived from credible financial research studies and publications. They use a distinct forecasting model for each forecasting horizon and every industry. The forecasting models capture, among other things, several important tendencies that stock prices consistently exhibit: Short-term price reversals Intermediate-term momentum continuation Long-term price reversals. They then apply the most advanced statistical/econometric techniques to ensure that the stock return forecasts are as reliable as possible. In addition, they have a realistic econometric model for assessing a stocks and a portfolios future return prospects. This econometric model involves running thousands of simulations to estimate the probability of a double in stock price as well as the probability of meeting and exceeding any given investment target by a stock or a portfolio of stocks.
The Portfolio Forecast Model
The Portfolio Forecast tool arrives at projections by utilizing forecasting models to estimate future returns for the individual stocks in a portfolio. After computing the future return forecasts for each stock, they then run thousands of concurrent simulations for all of the stocks in a given portfolio (subject to various econometric requirements). The thousands of simulated price paths created by this process form the basis for the Portfolio Forecast projections. Finally, the Portfolio Forecast tool calculates the most likely return forecast from the thousands of simulated outcomes.
The Portfolio Advisor Model
The Portfolio Advisor enables you to specify the following portfolio objectives: Maximize the chance of meeting or exceeding an investment target; Minimize the chance of loss; both of the above. Choosing the first option will prompt Portfolio Advisor to create an aggressive yet risky portfolio. Choosing the second option will prompt Portfolio Advisor to search for a conservative mix of stocks that will seek to preserve capital. Choosing the third option will prompt Portfolio Advisor to create a balanced portfolio that will seek to both maximize potential gains and minimize potential losses. Once you have specified an investment objective, Portfolio Advisor will utilize our forecasting models to estimate future returns for the individual stocks in your portfolio. Portfolio Advisor will then examine tens of thousands of possible capital allocation plans distributed across the stocks of your choice. From the results of these simulations, Portfolio Advisor will identify and display the most favorable stock allocation for your portfolio. Additionally, Portfolio Advisor will inform you of the exact number of shares to buy or sell of each stock so that the resulting portfolio will maximize your chances of maximizing gain, minimizing loss, or both.
Back Testing
Every valuation, forecasting, and advisory model has been extensively back-tested in the United States, Hong Kong, and Taiwan equities markets. The investment performance of each model has been proven to exceed that of many well-known stock-picking styles.

The Benefactor Dubsta is a 4-door SUV in Grand Theft Auto V.
The Dubsta features classic European styling and features many elements that bear strong resemblance to a Mercedes-Benz G-Class 463 (more precisely, a G65 AMG, as the car has a V12 engine. However, the in-game version has a 6.5L Supercharged V12, where the real life G65 AMG has a 6.0L BiTurbo V12). The overall styling is very square, putting emphasis on its off-road purpose in favor of appearance.
At the base of the front, a large plastic front bumper, spanning the entire width is visible. Above this bumper, a main, chrome-trimmed central grille is positioned on an elevated area of the front. There are rectangular turn indicator lamp units either side of the grille, whose lower edge is in line with the bottom of the vent for the grille. Above the turn indicators, the main headlamp units are larger and also rectangular. The headlamp units have upper edges that are in line with the top of the main grille. The front quarter areas are almost entirely covered by very wide wheel arch flaring, adding to the muscular appearance of the vehicle. The bonnet/hood features an elevated area similar to both vehicles that it is based on. The windscreen also begins at a height higher than the base of the A pillar, like both of its inspirations.
The sides continue the utilitarian and rugged theme, featuring straight lines for the main body line and edges for greenhouse windows. The line that separates the side of the body from the roof is also completely straight. At the base of the A pillars, the car features what appear to be large, plastic rear-view mirrors. The rear wheel arches are similar in appearance to the front, but are less elevated from the body.
The Dubsta features very high ground clearance, such that its axles and differential can be viewed from a slightly high angle. The SUV features a high displacement engine, presumably a V12 engine based on the badge on the back, but sounds more like a V8. This is sent through a permanent four wheel drive system, and then finally through large, high-profile tyres to the ground. The Dubsta is one of the most capable off-roading SUV's in GTA V. It has the ability to climb over rocks and make it up steep mountains without getting damaged at all and without hesitation, as its V12 supplies an excellent amount of torque. This SUV sadly suffers from massive body roll both on-road and off-road due to its narrowness. Going over bumps or small debris at high speeds may flip the vehicle entirely. Its heavy weight can be useful when ramming other cars or pushing them. By feathering the throttle, it is possible to push a medium weight car with ease. The V12 engine, if untuned, will struggle against the weight and thus it cannot attain high speeds, and has average acceleration.

- There is a modified version of the Dubsta that spawns at the meeting points for Offroad truck Races which sports certain modifications that are not available at Los Santos Customs. This variant has the same performance stats as the regular Dubsta, but all of the trim and chrome details have been blacked-out. This model also features more shallow roof indentions and a black bull guard. The design details of this variant seem to be inspired by the Mercedes-Benz G Class models modified by the aftermarket tuning company Brabus.
- Commonly seen all throughout Los Santos.
- Seen in the mission Trevor Philips Industries.
- Blacked-out variant usually spawns at the Offroad Races' meeting points.
Notable owners
- The Varrios Los Aztecas own a Dubsta which can be encountered during and after the mission Trevor Philips Industries.
- Elwood O'Neil owns a grey Dubsta.
- Al Di Napoli owns a black Dubsta.
- Robert owns a yellow modified Dubsta.
- Dubsta may be a combination of the 2 words "Dub" and "Gangsta". This may also be a reference to the rap/hip-hop scene in which customized SUVs can sometimes be found around, like the Baller (and its sport version) and the Cavalcade.
- More off-road type modifications are available to it than other SUVs. These include bullbars, winch, spot lights, roof basket, and hood and trunk mounted spare wheels, among others. This is probably based on a fact that Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a full-fledged off-roader, rather than a crossover SUV. In fact, its off-road prowess is so legendary and popular, Mercedes kept it in production rather than phase it out with the GL-Class.
- In Grand Theft Auto Online, the Dubsta sells for $7,000 at Los Santos Customs.
- In the beta version of GTA V, the Dubsta had a different grille and had a higher suspension.
- Another way to get the Dubsta 2 (Mafia Look) is to go and find an Offroad Truck Races in Great Chaparral in Route 68, (may not always spawn, to spawn go far away and go back until you see one) then steal it, but once you get into the Dubsta the race will start, you may complete the race or quit by threatening the other racers. (Take note that threatening the other races will give you a 1 star wanted level, which can be deactivated through cheat. This is also in single player.)
- The snorkel modification is only aesthetic, it does not allow the Dubsta to be driven through deep water.
- The Dubsta's spiritual successor is the Dubsta 6x6, which itself is an off-road vehicle, with extended wheelbase and consisting of having six wheels.

Newly designed Street One store in Rheine
12 Oct. 2012
The CBR Fashion Group from Celle, Germany has simultaneously rolled out new store concepts for its two retail concepts Cecil and Street One. The new shop designs have already been introduced during CBR's Brand Days Berlin in July and shall now launch throughout the country.
Changing room area in the Cecil store in Bochum
The shopfitting system which was developed by Stuttgart-based brand and retail marketing specialists Liganova, is mainly characterized by its flexibility and multiple combination possibilities.
The highly structured background of whitewashed pine and concrete shall create an exciting contrast to the materials of casual wear for modern women. Great visuals shall bring an emotional connection with the Cecil customers.
Cecil partner Ulrich Lamers who runs the Bochum store, said: "The new CECIL concept is based on the current needs of the customers, as it offers almost limitless possibilities for the constantly changing looks. There are very many small details in the presentation of goods, such as high quality hangers or even the bright wooden cabins that offer the Cecil collection in a younger, fresher and dynamic light."
By the end of the year, 50 Cecil stores shall be given the new look.
Inside the Cecil store in Bochum's Ruhrparkcenter
Also CBR daughter Street One has a new store design which was firstly introduced in the re-opened Street One store in Rheine on September 27. "The new product staging is all about simplicity and design. The store exudes urbanity, clarity and quality, and fits perfectly with the new, more fashionable direction of the collection," Street One Business Manager, Thomas Kromik commented.
The interior concept, which features elements of light wood and blackened metal, was developed by Italian architect Duccio Grassi in cooperation with shopfitting company Vizona and lighting specialist Ansorg. For the first time, the concept offers Street One partners the possibility, to pass on tailored information to the customers via large LCD screens and the like.
Christoph Rosa, CEO of CBR Fashion Group commented: 'The Street One team has worked hard on the product and made an optimization of the internal processes. Currently the POS rollout is being driven. By the end of the year, about 85 stores and shops-in-stores will open with the new Street One shop concept."

WFMZ-TV ( http://bit.ly/1eGYihd) says the deer walked through the front door of a Dick's Sporting Goods store in Reading on Thursday afternoon.
Store manager Brad Meyer says the deer slipped on the floor and a customer tackled it to the ground, preventing any injuries to customers or damage to the store.
The store called the Pennsylvania Game Commission, which arrived and removed the deer. There's no word on where the deer was released.

Deconstruction for Beginners
this wiki
- "This is my town! Look at it. All them tiny ants down there...they work for me."
- ―Playboy X.
Deconstruction for Beginners is the first mission given to Niko Bellic by Playboy X to clear a construction site taking over by the Mafia and the Union.
The mission starts with Playboy speaking (privately) with Niko Bellic on his top-floor balcony, away from the two women he was just sitting with. He explains his success in the city, just as Dwayne Forge -- a figure of his past who was mentioned in Niko's last encounter with Playboy. He reveals that he broke free from prison, and subtly criticizes Playboy for not having called in the last 4 years or having visited him. Playboy asks Niko to come downstairs, but Dwayne and Niko speak briefly.
On the way to the construction site in Castle Gardens, it is explained that Playboy X wants a real estate developer named Yusuf Amir to be on his team. However, Amir is completely ignoring X. Therefore, in order to get in his good graces and show that he has some influential power in Liberty City, Playboy sends Niko to clear out every last Union (Mafia) tough-guy goon on the construction site seized by the Union workers from Yusuf. X believes that Yusuf will then notice that Playboy X means business.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Playboy has left the weapons in a car in an alley downtown.
- Take out the lookouts.
- Go to the construction site and find the first Union Leader.
- Take down the next union leader.
- Take down the next union leader.
- Backup has arrived to protect the last leader. Take him down.
- Messina Crime Family
- Union Leaders
Drive with Playboy X to a construction site in Castle Gardens, Algonquin. Get into the van that is waiting in the alleyway. After you get in and then back out of the weapons van, Playboy will get onto an elevating platform at the side of a nearby building. You can choose to follow him and go up to the roof, or eliminate the lookouts from the sidewalk.
Once you are on the roof or sidewalk, get out a sniper and take out the three lookouts on the cranes. Once you've done that, head into the construction site and run towards the first Union leader. Take him out with an SMG or Assault Rifle and finish off all the goons around his body.
Once you've killed everyone on ground level, run up the wooden board at the back of the site and get onto the second "floor". Immediately gain cover and use grenades to take out the second Union leader. Then use a powerful weapon to eliminate the goons near the spot that he died.
Go left around the corner and regain cover. Use a strong weapon to take out the goons and the third Union leader. Get out of cover and run ahead. The fourth leader has started to run and guards are on their way in a helicopter. Playboy warns Niko of the guards in the helicopter. Kill the guards and continue to chase the fourth Union leader. Once you see him in the open, take out any weapon and shoot him to death. It shouldn't be hard, because at one point, he will stop running, turn around and shoot at you, shoot him and he will die.
After you kill the fourth Union leader, you will be paid and Playboy X will call to debrief you. The reward cash is $6,500.
Alternate Route
A slightly less full-on means of completing this mission is to snipe, as before from the rooftop, eliminate the lookouts, then pick off the guards on the roof of the building site.
Once taken care of, head to ground level and head into the building site to the right of the main gates, between two stacks of shipping containers. From here, you have a clear shot at the next target without having to shoot through a gauntlet of guards.
With target #1 down, head towards the blue crane directly ahead of your position and climb to the top. The framework of the ladder should keep Niko safe from any stray gunfire. Once there, targets #2 and #3 are easily sniped from the crane (you'll have to peer around the large circuit breaker to get at #3).
Target #4 can't be sniped, as he always spawns when you get close enough to him. Stay and shoot down the chopper if you want (again, easy, considering it has below-average health for a chopper), descend the ladder and run out towards the water-facing side of the site. Along one wall, there should be a ladder leading up. Run past it, swim around and keep going until you come to another ladder around halfway down the main building. Climbing up, this should give you a clear shot at the final target. If not, you can always climb the ladder and take him out along with a few guards.
Video Walkthrough
- Union leaders - Killed by Niko on the orders of Playboy to satisfy Yusuf Amir.
- Union members - Attacked by Niko to get to the Union leaders.
- Union lookouts - Sniped by Niko to gain access to the construction site.
- When Niko snipes the lookouts, each one will have a dying cutscene. The first will fall off the crane and smash hard on the street below. The second falls over, discharging his AK-47 and dies. The third will fall off the crane and smash onto a nearby parked Cavalcade, destroying its doors, heavily denting the roof, breaking all its windows, triggering the alarm system and then landing on the ground. You can take his AK-47 ammo which falls beside the car and lands on the ground. This is the only Cavalcade in this mission to have an alarm system.
- If the player tries to kill the three guards with a rocket launcher, it will not work; the guards will be unaffected.
- Each time one of the player's grenades detonates (or the player shoots an explosive barrel), Playboy will say things such as: "Whoa, player! Don't fuck up this site too bad!", or "Damn! I can feel the heat from here!" (he is up on the roof and says this through Niko's headset.)
- The Union Leaders all have different weapons; the first one has an AK-47, the second one has a Micro-SMG, the third one has an SMG, and the fourth one has an M4.
- This mission is also the only time a black Cavalcade with black rims can be acquired. The player can take it when the player enters the car to collect Playboy's weapons. The player can drive it back to the safehouse without failing the mission. Also the player can leave it at the construction site entrance, and once the mission ends it will still be there. Though its body color is not black, the Cavalcade that one of the lookouts falls onto has black rims.
- The Union Workers are working for The Messina Family.
- The "Union Trouble" mentioned in this mission ties into the missions Practice Swing and Bang Bang in the Ballad of Gay Tony.
- The Union Workers win the case by getting a memorial in honor of dying in the shoot-out designed by Yusuf Amir who rejects Playboy X.
- The beta version of this mission would require Niko to destroy the warehouses.
- This is the first appearance of Dwayne Forge.
- If the Cavalcade is destroyed before acquiring the weapons, the mission will fail and a cutscene will play where Playboy admonishes Niko and then gets out of the car, becoming a random pedestrian.
- If you take the subway to Castle Gardens, you cannot leave the subway, Playboy will stand at the exit; If you walk in to him or get in a car he will die and you will have to restart the mission.
- Once you walk in the area in which the second union leader was standing you will hear the police radio saying "reports of gunfire possibly related to a union disagreement", however you will not gain a wanted level nor will the police take any action.
- This is one of the two missions that the Cavalcade is unique to have an alarm system, the other being the Huntley Sport in Three Leaf Clover.
- This is the first time where a vehicle is destroyed by someone's body; the second is High Dive in TBOGT.
- During the drive towards the Cavalcade, Playboy X will mention that Yusuf Amir comes from Dubai and thinks that it is in Africa and that he and Yusuf could be brothers. However, Niko corrects him by advising him to "look at a map". This is the first time Playboy X shows his illiteracy; the last time would be at The Holland Play.
- This mission will unlock the AK-47 at the weapon dealers.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. -- At a time of year known for giving, you'll be amazed about how some are choosing to give back permanently to veterans in need.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is instituting medical foster care programs across the country; there are three in Georgia, including one for metro Atlanta.
One of its first recipients is Spc. Edward Caldwell, Jr., who served for several years as an organist in the marching band of the U.S. Army.
"We'd show up in little towns and lead the parades," Caldwell recalls. "I've probably walked down every main street in Georgia."
These days, the beautiful music is rarer, and the trembling hands are far too frequent. Spc. Caldwell has spent the last decade battling Parkinson's Disease.
"I can't drive," he says. "I'm losing my musical skills; my technique doesn't work anymore."
Losing his independence, as well as falling periodically for no reason, Edward feared being resigned to a nursing home at just 69 years old.
That's when Audrene Richards entered the picture. The native of Jamaica retired several years back to take care of her disabled husband. When she learned about medical foster care, she saw an opportunity to use her unique position to provide a helping hand.
"I love taking care of people," Richards said. "I love taking care of the elderly, so [the program] excited me because I'd be helping someone."
The V.A. paired Richards with Spc. Caldwell. The caregiver receives a stipend in exchange for providing meals, care, and a place to live.
Says Richards, "They help us, and they help the country, so I think we should repay them by helping them."

Following up on the Wii U Specifications with the US launch being today, NeoGAF user Trike has already uncovered what appears to be a Wii U Miiverse Debug Menu with details below.
Also of note, a Nintendo Wii U Teardown Guide is now available followed by a second Nintendo Wii U Teardown Tutorial and Geoff Keighley of GameTrailers TV has Tweeted that: The Wii U Firmware update is apparently about 5 gigs. No wonder it takes about an hour+ to download.
Additionally, the Wii U is able to run Nintendo Wii homebrew at launch (WiiXplorer ELF) and run Wii U games Off an SD Card, as demonstrated in the videos below!
From Rodger Combs: Let me stress this: the Hackmii installer (1.0) does NOT WORK. There may eventually be a version released that does work (I've been testing different beta exploits, to no success so far), but for now, nothing that requires Hackmii, uses current kernel exploits, or uses AHBPROT will work. That includes Devolution, USB loaders, cIOS installers, and Wii linux.
Nintendo can NOT patch Stack Smash using their current architecture. While it's definitely technically possible, it'd require a lot of work on their part, and could result in SSBB being unstable for all users. Plus, they most likely already knew Stack Smash worked before this video, so this isn't going to cause it to be fixed.
Potentially upcoming Nintendo Wii U upcoming games include the following:
- Donkey Kong
- Dragon Quest 10
- Final Fantasy 3
- Flipnote Studio
- Metal gear solid
- Metroid
- Resident evils
- Soul Hackers
- Super Mario WiiU
- Wii Fit
- Yoshi's Land Wii U
- Zombie
To quote: Well, I was messing around in Miiverse trying to find out how the hell to do the initial set-up of my friends list to no avail. In doing so I accidentally found the "debug" menu on Miiverse.
At first I thought, "Hey, neat!" thinking it was just a legit secret or something. I can even access something with the name "prototype" that seems to be the actual prototype Miiverse in Japanese.
Apparently John Lennon is still alive and is posting on the Japanese Miiverse. Most buttons that I tried don't work (Acid_Test?) so I thought, hay, maybe GAF could have fun with this or translate it. That is when I found the admin list.
At first it asked me to sign in, because my login information didn't match. Then I pressed a button and it sent me to a list of admins anyway. They had buttons in the same row as the names, and I could "regenerate password" or "Delete Admin" or something along those lines. I didn't do it it because I didn't want to risk getting my god damn Wii U banned on day 1.
What should I do with this information? Is there anyway I can contact Nintendo about this directly without going through their customer service email crap? Should I let everyone know how to do it? Am I an idiot and this is already well known somehow? I can post pics, but they are going to have to be shitty cellphone pictures. Unless The Wii U has a built in snapshot thing.
I may be able to avenge Jim Sterlings Batman review post by deleting admins, what should I do?
Secrets revealed. Summary of events from my end.
I found out I could access the debug menu on Miiverse by hitting the "X" button on the gamepad while hovering over the exit button. I found an admin access list or something to that effect. I couldn't really do anything from there though.
I could view different messages from a developer though. One mentioned that there would be big games coming out (announced?) on the 10th of December. A different said "POKEMON" and "SUICIDE". Sorry, bro.
I went to another link that lead me to some test messages. I thought they were real when I found them, because they were posted 20 minutes ago from the time I accessed them. I could flag them for prohibited content, spoilers, and something else that I forget.
Then I went to a different link on the debug menu and it showed three different Miiverse subforums I could access that would be coming out on December 20th. I clicked on the "games for teens, kids and blahblah" (forgot the other two, I think family games was one of them?) and it lead to some sort of dispute between Timelord celebrities Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.
There were even more subforums for games specifically, including Yoshi's Island Wii U and Soul Hackers, and less specific ones like "Metal Gear Solid" and "Resident Evils". By the time I stopped posting on gaf to check for more it was fixed, and someone pointed out that Nintendo put up a tweet (twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/270333253729271808) about a miiverse fix.
I don't know if I really could flag posts to be deleted or whatever, but I know I could not make myself an admin or delete admins. At least when I pressed the buttons nothing happened.
Kotaku has cracked open Nintendo's Wii U revealing the System Memory and Speed as follows to quote:
The crew at PC Perspective raced home and opened a launch-day Wii U up on a livestream. While they didn't solve all the system's mysteries, like what its GPU is like, they did claim to ascertain how much system memory the Wii U is packing, and how fast that memory is.
According to PC Perspective's teardown, the Wii U has 2GB of DDR3 memory (provided by Samsung). User AlStrong on the Beyond 3D forums says this means the memory runs at a maximum speed of 17GB/s.
For reference, NeoGAF user Durante writes for comparison's sake:
- 360: 22.4 GB/s + eDRAM for framebuffer
- PS3: 25.6 GB/s main memory BW + 22.4 GB/s graphics memory BW, no eDRAM
- GTX 680: 192.2 GB/s
The Wii U's North American launch today (November 18, 2012) offers consumers an 8GB model for $300 and for $350 the 32GB version which includes a copy of Nintendo Land.
Finally, crediar has leaked the WiiMode Keys and shared some Wii U Files for those interested!
Update: Nintendo officially stated the following to CVG regarding the Debug Menu: "It has come to our attention that some people were able to access a mock up menu on Miiverse following the launch of Wii U in the US."
"Please note that this was only a mock up menu and has now been removed and is not accessible."

Is Cloud for only for the S part of SME?
Hi Everybody,
I am new to the discussion group, and a common thread appears in everything I have read.
It appears all the discussions revolve around small enterprises and their requirements. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, I work for a small organisation. Does this relflect a view amongst the profession that "Cloud Accounting" is not yet ready for medium and larger sized enterprises? If so Why?
more likely it reflects the interests of those that post on here. But SME is a relatively meaningless acronym!!!
No, not at all.
No not at all. It's just that the majority by number of businesses in the UK are SOHO / SME businesses.
There is another tier of organisations, which we refer to as "Capital M' SME mid-market businesses which are also adopting Cloud solutions (why wouldn't you in this day and age?) now in some numbers.
Such businesses obviously require a more sophisticated range of functionality that goes beyond basic book-keeping and that is exactly what our product, Aqilla does.
Find out more here.
Like Hugh, no not at all
The product I partner with Twinfield has many M customers, such as EB - a Finnish spin off from Nokia. They use SAP at HQ, but Twinfield in 26 different sales/distribution offices in different countries around the world and also to consolidate all those results in to the HQ ledger. I'm sure e-conomic our Danish competitor has similarly large International businesses. In addition, how about Workday... They have some very large M sized companies heading towards the E for Enterprise. Cloud accounting can definitely go large.
David Terrar
I agree
The Cloud is for everyone S to E. As my David quite rightly says, both Twinfield and E-conomic have many very large companies successfully using their cloud offerings.
Cloud is for all SME's
At the Microsoft UK Hosting Day on 08/05/2012, one of the speakers from Parallels showed a slide on market research in the UK that SMB's (micro SMB 1-9 employees) Small SMB (10-49 employees) and Medium SMB's (50-250 employees) the Hosted Infrastructure penetration is 17% overall, with Medium SMB's reporting 36% using Hosted Servers i.e. the larger end of the SMB maket with 50 to 250 employees.
Micro SMB had 12% and Small SMB had 26% Hosted penetration.
Overall, Parallels see SMB's replacing in-house servers with hosted servers and anticpate the that the opportunity could be aroudn 850,000 server replacements with hosted servers in the near term.
Steve Thorns

Easier for smaller businesses
Related thing I wrote a while back.
Gary Turner
Managing Director, Xero
On cloud as a weapon and hosted servers
Definitely agree with the underlying sentiment - Cloud can help small business challenge the big guys.
@Hosted Desktop/Steve,
Great to have those numbers, but you open us up to some Hosted Server vs Cloud Computing debate. But let's have that on another thread some other time and not here please?
David Terrar
(aka Richard Messik's David)
D2C and Cloud Advocates
It depends how you define the "cloud"
If you look at it from afar, all the "cloud" is is a remote server hosting your application and data.
Big enterprises call this remote desktop, or terminal services or citrix or whatever.
I have clients who have been in "the cloud" by their definition for longer than they remember - they define their cloud as their servers hosted by someone else who takes care of keeping them running and access to their various offices and mobile staff.
Sounds a lot like Xero etc... just the functionality is somewhat different.
Just another thought on the cloud.
Definition of Cloud ...
A lot really depends on whether ones definition of Cloud is an extension of the progression of ASP, SaaS, Cloud
If it is part of this chain then that in turn disqualifies all sorts of other approaches that have acquired Cloud status; so citrix, hosted etc are all disqualified. Call them whatever one wants but not Cloud
Otherwise, why not include client server and any other random architecture that remotely fits the bill; after all Cloud has become a marketing hook, to be redefined at will according to what product is being sold at the time ?
Of course the ultimate is to call Sage Line 50 'Cloud' - think about it, because once you start redefining things to fit your own agenda then the term becomes devalued !
Shift this to another thread
I reckon Steve's topic of whether cloud is just for the S is a great one to debate and hear a mix of views on....
On the whole Cloud vs Hosted and what really is Cloud - I reckon we should start another thread and those that are interested can bat it about there. Those that aren't (Gary T, Dennis H, etc. can let us play there to our hearts content). Just a few things to set the scene though:
- The marketplace is muddied by every provider re-branding whatever solution they have that runs across the web and sits somewhere in a data centre as "The Cloud" even when it's not - does that matter? (let's answer that in the other thread)
- The Cloud Industry Forum is just in the process of pulling together some resources for their website to address this very issue. One of them will be a "plain English" version of the NIST Cloud definitions, which I would argue are the best thing we've got as a set of words that the industry could all agree on.
- Richard Messik and myself are just working on a plain English cloud guide - we'll try and accelerate what we are doing.
See you on the other thread.
David Terrar
D2C and Cloud Advocates
Intersting and varied input
Intersting and varied input from everybody.
My question related to true Saas accounting or ERP applications, specifically developed as hosted applications. Apps like Brightpearl, Kashflow seem to be on the front page and growing like topsy. In the mid market Netsuite seems to have a stable base around 12,000 users and the SAP application Business ByDesign seems to be getting a foothold. But the number seem small when compared to products like Sage and the Dynamics range which measure in X 00,000's each.
All the major players including Oracle are on the Bandwagon. However I still do not see anybody grabbing and dominating that 25-100 user plus market. Why? is still the primary question.
Apologies for not knowing about products like Twinfield and Acquila, first I had heard of them.
I am probably with David about Cloud being a confusing term. Many established software providers are sticking a web front end on their application and calling it a cloud solution. To me it is still on on premise ERP that is hosted. Bit like the old days of windows front end, everybody had a Windows version within 9 months. Most were simply "lipstick on a pig",
I think the end user needs some help understanding what is a true SaaS ERP application, and which are lipstick jobs.
Lipstick on a dog?
The lipstick thing is interesting.
Applied to software development, it used to (applied metaphorically to a pig) only refer to the technical purity of an app, in reference to the act of 'reheating' old tech with a fresh front end to give the impression of it being contemporary. However, the issue today is a little broader in the context of the cloud in that the ongoing capability and reliability of the provider is now more critical than in the days of MS-DOS or Windows app development.

Lipstick indeed?
Yep, because at the end of the day, you don't know what the underlying connection is run on. I have seen "SaaS" and cloud stuff that was effectively just a remote desktop session "with lipstick"
So was that cloud or not...
For sure the definitions get muddied... but in a way that is how technology progresses
I meant beyond just the technical definition..
...like the processes, discipline and people behind the service, not just how the software is delivered.
Like inadequate backup processes, badly configured servers, unqualified staff, poor security, unchecked staff with access to customer data.

Managing Director, Xero
Got one of my Answers today! Cloud fits the E part of SME also
Joined in a press conference on line this pm.
SAP have put their recently acquired Successfactors onto the Business ByDesign app. They had to, because Successfactors used Netsuite. All 1200 users now live and running across 4 continents from a true cloud app.
SAP also announced a 2000 user order undisclosed (under NDA), but considering their public listing and extreme adherence to compliance, you just have to beleive it.
So there we have it: Cloud for S M and E.

Bustamante pleads guilty to murder
Tuesday, January 10, 2012
At a half-hour hearing Tuesday morning, Alyssa Bustamante pleaded guilty to an amended charge of second-degree murder and a charge of armed criminal in connection with the Oct. 21, 2009, death of Elizabeth Olten.
During the hearing before Cole County Presiding Judge Pat Joyce, it was explained that this was not a plea bargain. The state is still arguing what punishment Bustamante will face.
By law, she faces a range of 10 to 30 years or up to life in prison on the second-degree murder charge. For the armed criminal action charge, she could face three years up to life in prison.
During the hearing, Joyce asked Bustamante how she killed Olten.
"I strangled her and stabbed her in the chest," Bustamante responded. She said she used a knife as the weapon.
When asked by Joyce, "Did you also cut her throat?"
Bustamante said, "Yes."
The almost 18-year-old was dressed in a green prisoner's jumpsuit and showed little emotion during the proceeding. The courtroom was packed with heavy security inside and outside of the Cole County Courthouse.
Family members including Olten's mother, Patty Preiss, were in attendance, wearing shirts with Olten's picture on the front.
Patty did not take her eyes off Bustamante while the proceeding occurred.
Joyce has set aside Feb. 6 and 7 for the sentencing hearings.
Bustamante's lawyer, public defender Donald Catlett, said they will present evidence, including her mental condition at the time of the crime, at the hearing.
Cole County Prosecutor Mark Richardson said he plans to have at least six witnesses testify during those proceedings.
By DAVID A. LIEB
Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri teenager who told authorities she wanted to know what it felt like to kill pleaded guilty Tuesday to murder, telling a judge that she strangled a 9-year-old neighbor with her hands, stabbed her in the chest and cut her throat with a knife.
Alyssa Bustamante pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the Oct. 21, 2009, killing of Elizabeth Olten in St. Martins, a rural town just west of Jefferson City. The plea avoids a trial that had been scheduled to start later this month.
At Tuesday's hearing, Bustamante looked down, her long brown hair covering her eyes, as the judge read out the amended charges and asked her if she understood she was giving up her right to a trial. She replied, "yes."
Cole County Circuit Judge Patricia Joyce then asked Bustamante to describe what she did.
"I strangled her and stabbed her in the chest." Bustamante said in a clear voice, looking straight at the judge.
"Did you cut her throat too?" the judge asked.
"Yes," Bustamante responded.
Bustamante, who is to turn age 18 on Jan. 28, was 15 at the time of the slaying and lived just a few homes down the road from Elizabeth. She told the judge Tuesday that she knew what she was doing when she strangled Elizabeth with her hands and used a knife to attack her. Upon hearing that confession, Elizabeth's mother Patty Preiss — who was sitting in the courtroom just a few feet away — took a deep breath and dabbed her eyes with a tissue.
Preiss wore a purple shirt with her daughter's picture and the words "Justice for Elizabeth." She left the courthouse without talking to the media.
Prosecutor Mark Richardson declined to comment after Tuesday's hearing, noting the case is ongoing.
The judge set a Feb. 6 sentencing hearing. Bustamante would have faced life in prison without parole if convicted of first-degree murder. But by pleading guilty to a reduced murder charge, Bustamante could eventually being released. The punishment for second-degree murder ranges from 10-30 years in prison or life with the possibility of parole. The judge said the armed criminal action charge is punishable by three years up to life in prison.
Bustamante's attorney, Charlie Moreland, said in an interview that Bustamante decided to plead guilty because "she wanted to take responsibility for it."
"This is the result we would have asked the jury to agree to," Moreland said. But her punishment will now be decided by a judge instead of jurors. "It's a very difficult decision for whoever has to make the decision. What is the appropriate punishment for a 15-year-old girl with her history and her background and the situation as it was?"
Bustamante's grandmother, who had been her legal guardian, left the courthouse without commenting to reporters.
Juvenile justice officials testified at a November 2009 hearing that Bustamante had attempted to commit suicide at age 13 after receiving mental health treatment for depression and cutting herself. Witnesses at Bustamante's adult certification hearing described her as a bright girl who ranked roughly in the top third of her class at Jefferson City High School. She had not been in trouble at school or with the law before her arrest in Elizabeth's killing.
At that 2009 hearing, prosecutors said Bustamante had plotted Elizabeth's death, even digging two holes to be used as graves, then attending school for about a week while waiting for the right time to kill.
Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. David Rice testified that the teenager confessed to the slaying and led authorities to Elizabeth's body. Rice said Bustamante told him "she wanted to know what it felt like" to kill someone.
Hundreds of volunteers searched for two days for Elizabeth before her well-concealed body was found in the woods near her home.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Relatives of a slain 9-year-old Missouri girl are disappointed by a plea agreement that could allow her confessed killer to be released from prison someday.
An attorney for the mother of Elizabeth Olten says the family does not believe justice was fully served Tuesday when Alyssa Bustamante pleaded guilty to killing the girl in October 2009.
Bustamante originally had been charged with first-degree murder, which carries a sentence of life in prison without parole. She pleaded guilty to an amended charge of second-degree murder, which is punishable by 10-to-30 years in prison or life with the possibility of parole. A sentencing hearing is set for Feb. 6.
Attorney Matt Diehr (DEER) says Elizabeth's mother and other relatives plan to "continue to seek justice" by any legal means available.

Level is there for that too, except to show how long you've been playing and reward you with cards. I agree with hiding those in-game but getting rid of them means getting rid of many of the people addicted to this game.
Win/loss indicator is just useless. No one looks at it. Win streaks is useless too.
If both players get the reward from a TB, then it wouldn't be TB right? TBs are supposed to be fun anyways. I experiment with files and I don't care if I lose a one star. If I get it, it's just bonus icing on top.
All in all, a casual arena will never happen because competition makes people pay for cards. And alteil needs that payment to keep on releasing sets and maintaining server costs.
Very true, competition does make the players that don't quit from frustration pay for cards. After all, what really matters, a dozen people buying lots of cards once a set or 100s of players, perhaps more over time continuously make small payments every now and then?
This thread is by no means suggesting the elimination of Folrart and ego-boosters, just the addition of a new arena where all that is moot. It even suggested TB being considerably less common inside of it and without win streaks it would be even further less common. Personally, if I run into a 2000+ rating player while messing around with my UD and a TB pops up, fun is the furthest thing from my mind. If anything, it frustrates me seeing somebody with 3 of every card obtaining 1 more to trade in for free gran. It wouldn't be as bad if the loser was given a 1 star as compensation for having to be put into that situation.

Police officers in Edenton are getting additional training behind the wheel after officials say they've been involved in 13 crashes over the last seven months.
The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk reports that Town Manager Anne-Marie Knighton said nine of the 13 crashes were preventable and cost the town $30,000 in patrol car damage. Knighton said she won't accept the notion that the wrecks amount to a run of bad luck.
One officer who caused two crashes has been suspended two days without pay. Two weeks ago, Police Chief Jay Fortenbery's cruiser rear ended a car.
Knighton said after the town met with insurance and safety officials from the North Carolina League of Municipalities, it was determined officers will receive additional driver training and could be disciplined for preventable crashes.

London Underground
this wiki
|"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The subject of this article is a real-life person, group, company, product, or creative work that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really exists), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.
- "Four stops, Harry... three stops left now... two stops to go, Harry..."
- —Arthur Weasley on the London Underground.[src]
The London Underground is a rapid transit rail system in England that serves the Greater London area as well as several neighbouring regions.
On 1 August, 1991, Harry Potter and Rubeus Hagrid took a train to London to visit Diagon Alley and purchase Harry's school supplies. Hagrid got stuck in a ticket barrier on the Underground, and complained about how the seats were too small.[1]
On 12 August, 1995, Harry rode with Arthur Weasley on the Underground to get to to the Ministry of Magic for his disciplinary hearing. Arthur was very excited about the Muggle technology such as the escalators and the automatic ticket machines, even though they were out of order.[2]
In December of the same year, Harry again rode a train on the Underground, along with Moody, Tonks, Hermione, and the Weasleys, to visit Mr. Weasley at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.[2]
Albus Dumbledore once told Minerva McGonagall that he had a scar above his left knee in the shape of a perfect map of the London Underground.[1]

Comments On Apr 09, 2008:I bought 2, its good to have the extra length when you need it. I carry them in my tank bank so its always with me, works much better than packing around a coil of crab line like we used to! hooks work awesome for quick, secure attachment to the frame, bumper, or grab bar.
