stock prices from BSE
Priorities and goals :
Sehnawi said that the stock exchange will return to Lebanon soon. " The
priorities of this market are based on economic and construction plans which are now in
the first stages of execution and the stock exchange is one of the basic financial tools
for stimulating the economy by attracting capital for investment in the projects,"
he said.
He added that the stock exchange also helps to revive other sectors of the
economy such as tourism by participating in the expansion of Beirut's International
Airport and the Sea port. In addition and with the region on the threshold of peace,
Lebanon must be prepared for all the implications of the impending era, including economic
liberalization which will no doubt act to support the internal economy.
Attracting foreign capital is the key :
Sehnawi pointed out that according to economic studies Lebanon will need between
$ 10 to 20 billion during the next ten years for reconstruction and around $5 billion to
raise the capital of companies to accepted levels. "The stock exchange will play
an important role in attracting investment to Lebanon particularly at the present time,
when international companies have shown serious interest in the country as an important
place for investment, " he said.
As for stock dealing in the Beirut stock exchange, Sehnawi said: "Solidere
shares, which are now traded in the secondary market, will be included in the stock
exchange. There are also six or seven stocks which were previously listed, in addition to
treasury bonds in Lebanese pounds and leading company bonds. New companies are also
expected to join either to raise new capital or to enhance their company image".
Disclosure :
Sehnawi noted that the Beirut stock exchange may not be able , at the beginning,
to abide by international stock exchanges regulations. It may require listed companies to
present their balance sheets within six months or even twelve but will strictly enforce
the principles of disclosure requiring all new projects and targets to enable analysts to
evaluate companies and give appropriate advice to their clients.
The stock exchange will also list companies with small capitals as well as Arab
and foreign companies subject to specific conditions. Naturally, the stock exchange will
wish join the linkage system between the region's stock exchanges and, at a later stage,
with international stock exchanges.
Referring to Arab stock exchanges, Sehanwi said: " These range from the
advanced to the ordinary. There are exchanges which offer little opportunity for foreign
participation and others that continue to bar foreigners. freedom of exchange is permitted
in some stock exchanges and forbidden in others. But the Arab exchanges will embark a
development program to liberalize exchange rules to insure improved production".
Sehnawi went on to say that the Beirut stock exchange has its advantages, mainly
the law concerning foreign ownership, and the unrestricted freedom to transfer money and
buy stocks without payment of any taxes on these transactions.
There are also new tax laws which lowered company taxations rates to ten
percent. This will encourage foreign companies to return to the country and local ones to
avoid tax evasion.
"There are also new laws regulating the work of insurance companies and
others, under consideration, related to trade, merger and holding companies. The
establishment of a free zone in Beirut port is under consideration. As for the human
element, a lot of highly qualified people who held very important positions in
international institutions and banks have returned to Beirut and the exchange will employ
their experiences, expertise and contacts with the outside world to improve its
performance ," Sehnawi said.
He spoke about the expected Israeli competition in the impending era of peace in
the region . He said that Israel's stock exchange is one of the most important in the
region. It lists stocks of leading international companies which rival Arab companies in
the field of electronics, but there will be enough work for everybody. Israel's stock
exchange will not present dangerous competition but a practical one, it is worth pointing
out that Israel imposes heavy taxes including the increase of taxes on stock dealings
which took place a few months ago and led to the deterioration of the exchange by 5 to 10
%. In addition, the presence of strong Arab stock exchange in Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait and
Saudi Arabia is to be reckoned with.
Optimism is in order.
The head of the Beirut exchange expressed his optimism in the future. He said
that Lebanon had not lost nor will it lose its financial and economic role in the region.
he explained that foreign interest in Lebanon was apparent during the meeting of the
International Monetary Fund in Madrid and by visiting delegations.
Sehanwi said" the most important thing is to invest in this interest at
the right time and place. We should not tarry because the chance may thus be missed and
the opportunity seized by other countries in the region. Contacts are in progress with a
number of western countries, particularly with officials in Paris, London and Tokyo stock
exchanges and offers of technical help have been received. Contacts are also being made
with the world Bank and I.F.C with a view to developing existing exchange laws to conform
with progress, and to computerize and join the linkage systems between exchanges. One of
the advanced technologies understudy, a "Reuter" project which is based on
linking the exchange to the Central Bank, banks, Lebanon's Finance Company, for
facilitating work and decreasing costs.
Beirut stock exchange will return soon. Preparations are not restricted to
the opening but extend to insuring an important presence for it is the oldest in the East,
and has a long history which must be preserved."
The Beirut Exchange: a short history
It was established by a government decree on the 2nd of July 1920. dealings
concentrated mostly on gold and foreign exchange. This market, which was the first in the
Middle East, attracted investments fro France and Syria in addition to Lebanon. dealers
included the mixed French-Syrian-Lebanese concessionaires of public utility companies,
namely : Beirut Electricity, Aleppo Electricity, Latakia Asphalt and Petroleum, Beirut
Port Company, Damascus and Hama Rail Road Company, Beirut Water Company, Radio Orient,
Regie Company and Lebanese French Real Estate Company.
All these companies were listed in both Beirut and Paris stock exchanges. the
Paris exchange set stock to prices. The Beirut stock exchange worked for 34 years without
any regulations to govern its operations, until the Lebanese parliament in 1945 enacted
such a law. It was amended in 1959, 1961, 1969, 1982 and 1985. Stock exchange closed down
in 1983 like so many other Lebanese institutions as a result of the war. Now the exchange
stands poised to resume its interrupted life to contribute its share in the reconstruction
process in the country.

JALC OneCard FAQ's
When am I going to receive my Higher One Card?
You should receive your Higher One Card within 7 to 10 days after it has been ordered.
How can I tell if I have my correct USPS recognized address?
You can verify your address by going to the following website: http://www.qas.com/address-software/free-address-lookup.htm
Is activation easy? Is it clear how to choose the option I want?
The website offers options. Students are free to choose the free checking account option or the direct deposit option. As of fall 2010 there will be no mailed check option. Each preference is easy to choose and confirmed to make sure there is no mistake.
If I choose not to activate the John A. Logan College One Card, do I need to keep the Debit Card?
We recommend that you retain the card for future reference or use. If you forget your password, you will need the number and security code from the card to reset your logon. In addition, if at any time in the future, you change your mind and decide to open the One Account, you will need the Debit Card to access the funds on that account. It can also be used as a library card on campus, as well as a student pass for the Saluki Express and other student benefits.
Am I required to open a bank account with Higher One to get my refund?
No. You only have to open a One Account if you wish to have your refund on your Debit Card.
Once my card is activated, how long will it take my financial aid and/or refund to show up on my card?
The college tries very hard to ensure that the financial aid disbursement occurs within the fourth or fifth week of the semester. If you are getting a refund from a class that you have dropped, you should expect a refund within a week or two.
Does Higher One charge fees?
There is no charge to a student to receive their refund, no matter which of the three options they choose. If the student chooses the One Account banking choice, the bank account is offered at no charge for standard banking services. There is no fee to withdraw funds from your Higher One account using a Higher One ATM (the Higher One ATM at John A. Logan College is located at the Community Health Education Complex.
If the student uses other services, such as wire transfers, there are fees which are comparable with other banks. Higher One's fees are competitive with other banks, and the company provides education materials to teach students how to use the account for free.
These are some helpful websites regarding fees:
If I choose to use the One Account is there a $.50 fee for debit purchase transactions?
When using the MasterCard feature of the One Card there are two ways to make purchases. Both draw money from your One Account. There is no fee charged for "swipe and sign" debit card transactions - available at 22 million locations worldwide. As with many banks, yes, you will be charged a $.50 transaction fee for PIN-based transactions. However, almost all merchants that offer PIN-based transactions also offer signature-based transactions. Many of our customers have never paid for a debit transaction. To make a non-PIN based transaction, choose or say "Credit" when asked at the register, then just sign the receipt. Do not enter a PIN. Your transaction will be covered by MasterCard's Zero Liability Policy.
Higher One encourages students not to choose "Debit" when they have the option. Instead choose "Credit."
I've forgotten my Higher One password, how do I reset it?
Go to https://jalconecard.higheroneaccount.com/ and click on the link that says Trouble logging in? Reset your password.
My card has been lost or stolen, what do I do?
Call Higher One customer service at 1-877-273-0707.

My newly two year old son is screaming around his pacifier, standing behind his closed door. He pounds on it with fists that are each holding a lovey.
I open the door and he is instantly silenced, arms outstretched. I pick him up and we settle back into the glider for the third time, rocking in the dark. I don't sing this time, just rock and think.
I think about the new website I've been building that is already dusty, full of "coming soon". I think about the unfinished writing. The clean laundry wrinkling in a heap. The DVR queue still full. The jobs for which I should apply.
Every night for months, I've undergone this battle.
Every night, at some point I let it go. I rock and think, smelling his hair, looking at his chubby feet and recognizing how quickly my sweet boy is getting too long to comfortably lay in my lap.
And so I'll rock – and for once remember: This crowding of time and falling of priorities isn't always because of I'm losing myself. It's because this is simply the largest part of who I am right now.
I'm sure by the time that sinks in, he'll be asking me to drop him off a block away from school.
Tonight, this room, this boy and me, rocking, is more than enough.

We have all experienced it. The need, desire, wanting to be alone, alone with our own, and only our own, thoughts, dreams, words and memories. We may choose "alone time" when we need to concentrate and focus, avoiding distractions, or perhaps when we wish to let music, art or a book into our inner selves. (Where are you reading this article? Are you alone? By choice?)
Sometimes we need "alone time" to do nothing but enjoy the sounds of silence (thank you Simon & Garfunkel). At times, we nee that "alone time" to replenish and revitalize ourselves, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This need for "alone time" is a natural want, a way of our bodies telling us it needs something. It needs this protection in a sense.
While it is vital that we listen to our bodies, we must be good listeners and really hear what is being said, and not put words into our minds that are not from a true source. Too much isolation is not healthy in any manner, physically, mentally, spiritually or emotionally. This is especially true when our real intent is to run-away, not deal with realities, by hiding or withdrawing. We should not let isolation take us away from our lives. It should be experienced only to enhance it.
Yes, "alone time" is important, but we are social creatures by nature, needing human contact at some level. It is the extremely rare individual that can live in today's world without interacting with others, living in a vacuum.
Use "alone time" wisely, for positive reasons, to empower yourself and restore yourself, allowing yourself to return restored and ready to face life with a new vigor.
Now, Leave Me Alone! But not until you hit the subscribe button above! I'll use the "alone time" to ponder my next examiner.com article topic. How are you going to use your "alone time"?

PBE Update: LCS Summoner Icons, Xypherous on Tanks and Lifesteal, Plus the New Rotation and Sale!
Xypherous: Offense vs Defense and Lifesteal
New Champion Rotation – Week 21
New Champion/Skin Sale – Expires June 28th
    LeBlanc
- Cooldown reduced from 14/13/12/11/10 to 14/12.5/11/9.5/8 seconds
The following icons represent the teams that will be taking part in this year's Summer Split. Each will cost 250 RP and are currently not available on the live server.
 Here's more information on when the feature will be released and where the profit from it will go to, courtesy of Rioters Hundo and Udyr:
In celebration of esports, we're testing a new feature on the PBE that will allow you to show support for your favorite team by grabbing an official team logo Summoner Icon for any of the North American and European LCS teams in the Summer Split.
These icons will be available in the live store shortly after Patch 3.9 until the end of the Summer Split for 250 RP, and are permanently added to your account.
In addition to the new icons, we're testing some new tech that helps you show off your team pride: all Summoner Icons—including the new esports team icons—will be shown on the loading screen before each match.
As with any feature on the PBE, we're looking for your feedback, so let us know what you think and we'll see you rocking some sweet new flair on the Fields of Justice.
(Udyr ninja edit)
20% of the revenue will go to the team of your choice and the rest goes towards funding esports (prizes, venues, video etc)
 What if the team I support gets kicked out of LCS?
 Udyr: You will keep the icon. And have extra hipster swag.
Udyr also shared that we'd soon be able to get icons for other region teams such like Taipei Assassins:
The following splash art was leaked on the Russian League of Legends website. Below is my manual translation of the description:
"In the chilling cold fields of Freljord even the toughest warriors struggle against nature. Those who wish to survive must tame the elements themselves. Sejuani, unrivaled boar rider and leader of the Winter's Claw has learned to adapt. But even the bravest of warriors sometimes need to call on the cavalry. And by cavalry we mean bears – huge, hungry and armored. Â
Bear Cavalry Sejuani will arrive soon in celebration of the launch of the Russian server. Summoners playing on that server will get the skin for free!
Offense vs Defense: are tanks left in the dust?
Theorycraft nut Xypherous reviews a growing question on the forums: is tanking worse than spanking in LoL?
Full Build armor should get shredded by the AP carry but should NOT be shredded by the AD.Ditto the other way around, Full Build MR should get shredded by a full build AD NOT a full build AP.
But in League tanks are laughed at. They might be used because they can stand a few shots and have strong CC capability but they are not true TANKS. This should be fixed. A pimped out ADC should not crush a 300 armor tank like it was nothing.
  Xypherous: This makes several assumptions on relative game health:
1. You are spending as much gold on defense as they are on damage
It's somewhat unrealistic to assume that a full defense character should have a similar gold income, especially late game – as full damage characters. Full defense inherently takes less risks and opportunity costs for playing the game.  Therefore – you are always going to have less gold at some point that players who actually expose themselves to a serious weakness.
We could solve this by severely increase the power of gold for defense statistics compared to offense but going down this line moots the entire point of buying offensive items. Offensive items intrinsically are worth more because they offer more play – people who buy offense can die.
2. That invulnerable characters are intrinsically a good thing for the game
I think this is where we'll probably disagree here – characters that become invulnerable, even to a subset of characters – are simply characters who don't actually wish to interact with a certain subset of opponents.
Invulnerable characters are bad for the game in several ways – because as soon as you reach this threshold, there's very little reason to actually interact or play with the enemy team, outside of simply murdering them because they now can do absolutely nothing against you.
While this would be fun for the invulnerable player – this is less of a game, and more of a 'Man, everyone who bought offense is really bad.'
Consider what happens if this is true – if you buy offense, you can't damage a subset of their team – but you can now be murdered by anyone on their team becomes the norm, and under this state – defense is the only real option.
3. The defining characteristic of a tank is 'immune to damage'
The interesting dilemma here is that the tank role in many respects reads as 'durable' characters. However, the actions that a tank has to do to win any given fight does not rely on durability as much as some other classes – notably melee damage dealers.
A tank dying in a successful initiation has a staggering impact on the success of his team – He has simultaneously started a favorable fight while wasting a large part of the opposing team's cooldowns. Contrast – most fighters need a prolonged engagement in order to actually output value to their team.
Durability – at the end of the day, is a more valuable fighter statistic than a tank statistic – simply due to need / time required to stay in a fight. Tanks have many non-pure durability ways to simulate effective defense, every tank knows intrinsically that disabling their damage dealer for a few seconds is worth a massive amount of durability. If CC is a portion of a tank's kit – they will always have many different ways to mitigate damage – from disabling the opponent's damage outright by stun – or simply making it very difficult for the damage to be applied in time via slows or displacements.
As a side note here, I actually believe that we should be putting more defense straight onto a tank's kit rather than force them to buy it. You should be able to rely on the fact that your tank has a baseline level of durability – rather than that shift wildly based on gold income.
Quick aside on Armor versus Health
Armor, being a net multiplicative statistic influences a lot more than just damage reduction – It also reduces life steal and amplifies the effect of other abilities like shielding effects (which lie on the same multiplicative axis as Health.)
What this does (and did in Season 2) is create an environment where only characters with penetration could reliably damage other characters and negates a large subset of characters like AD Casters, Utility Supports and Tanks from contributing to anything in a late game fight outside of 'Protect the characters with % Pen.'
Shifting away from primary resistances allows you to do a few things – It lets us control the power of in-combat sustain, like life steal or spell vamp because you interact with health more directly. It opens the way for penetration to actually be a counter statistic (though it's not there yet, admittedly) rather than simply the best damage multiplier you can get. It lets more people participate in the damage race because they no longer need both damage and penetration in order to pierce the opponents in-combat sustain.
Does the current state of balance mean supports and tanks will never have reasonable amounts of gold?
  Xypherous: Not exactly – Basically what I'm saying is that players who purchase items to mitigate risk should not be rewarded with more gold than players who are purchasing items that maximize their risk.
Essentially – if you rewarded more or equal gold to the player who is trying to 'not lose' – then not losing becomes the best available course of action.
Think about GP/10 - you incur more risk when you purchase a GP/10 item. They give you less raw statistical power than any other equivalent and frequently opens you up to punishment in the short-term – thus it's a great tool to manipulate gold streams so that the support / tank gets a larger share of gold – while not simply building to invalidate opponents.
For example, imagine a world where your towers had passive GP/10 and that taking enemy tower's down gave you nothing – What are you encouraging here, with this gold income model? Then think about how it applies to buying defense versus buying utility/support items.
Should building defense yield the same gold as building offense?
  Xypherous: The answer is 'no' – because intrinsically you are taking steps to mitigate risk rather than leaving openings for yourself. This is why offensive items have better multipliers – that most gold sources require offensive acts or risk taking behaviors – and why you should have gold generally scale better on offensive actions than defensive ones.
Tanks should not have lots of innate resistances
  Xypherous: I definitely agree with you that free defenses encourages you to build non-defensive statistics. If you give lots of free resistances to a character – they are encouraged to build stuff that isn't resistances – because you only need a certain level of defense to be able to do their job – assuming your job is damage and not utility.
However, I also believe that a tank role needs to be an inherently reliable role – and thus the amount of unreliability based on gold needs to be lower than other roles. I'm not saying there won't be the negative side effects – merely that the game flows better when you can both rely on tank initiation and tank control at some baseline level.
Essentially – While I don't think tanks feel quite right building non defensive items – I do feel like they should still act and do tank actions more reliably than being almost completely dependent on items to do so. It's kind of like a cost / benefit analysis at this point – The cost: They won't build tank items and might build a lot of damage items – The benefit: Tanks do tank things which help general game flow.
Defense items don't provide multiplier stats such as crit chance, crit damage and %AP increase
  Xypherous: I can think of at least 4 layers of multiplicative damage reduction
1. AS% Slow – Randuin's Omen and Frozen Heart
2. Straight DR% versus basic attacks, ala Ninja Tabi
3. Health, Health Regeneration, Shield
4. Armor
Arguing that Omen isn't cost-efficient is somewhat a losing battle – I've stated why we don't want more of them – but there are definite multipliers to defense that cause a full-build defense to consist of multiple items that synergize.
Risk level depends on the character played, not just the item build
  Xypherous: I definitely agree with you that the more risk inherent to your character, the more defenses you build so that you can minimize it – because you need a baseline level of survivability to perform your role. However, above the minimum required survivability, you now try to maximize effectiveness proportional to the risk that you incur.
However, let's say that your role is crowd control – there is literally no reason to build anything but defenses or utility. If defensive items were more powerful – that would still not get you to incur additional risk, because you've already satisfied the minimum requirement to survive in a team fight – and you already have what you need to perform your role and win the game.
Is Frozen Heart a good tank item against AD carries?
  Xypherous: Attack Speed debuffs are multiplicative – so it subtracts 20% from their total Attack Speed, not their additive attack speed. The more attack speed the opponent's ADC has – the more powerful this effect becomes.
What's your current take on lifesteal?
  Xypherous: Lifesteal as a defensive statistic has some interesting play – in that it's pretty much the most interactive form of 'survivability' ever.
Lifesteal follows this weird nuclear curve, where just below the level of lifesteal they need to fully drain tank you, lifesteal has great gameplay. And then if they can drain-tank you, lifesteal has terrible gameplay.
However, this is an argument for health in a lot of cases. The more powerful armor is, the more powerful and binary lifesteal needs to be in order to pierce through armor – since armor reduces damage and thus the effect of lifesteal proportionally.
What then happens is that the raw lifesteal amounts tend to be inflated for lifesteal to be able to do its job which spikes its value against minions and squishy targets, effectively turning them into giant health batteries.
Why can't lifesteal have reduced effect against minions?
  Xypherous: One reason: It makes poke compositions dominate as it makes the glass DPS roles extremely vulnerable to poke.
There are several reasons – but that's my favorite.
Will you be changing the lifesteal number on items?
  Xypherous: At the moment – I think lifesteal is in a decent spot. Bloodthirster's lifesteal might be too strong but honestly, you'd have to make a good argument with some solid evidence. Right now – Bloodthirster is being bought a lot – but is it really game warping? Eeeh.
How about making lifesteal a unique passive with multiple LS items giving only 50% of stats?
  Xypherous: Making lifesteal a named unique passive would be great and give us a toooon of control over the statistic on items.
It's a little heavy-handed though for my taste – but it could be the right direction if lifesteal becomes a problem. I'm not necessarily convinced that it is – but I also admit I'm not actually looking at lifesteal at the moment (nor am I particularly qualified to comment on how lifesteal changes the flow of higher level games.)
Why is ranged sustain so effective?
  Xypherous: Sure, let me talk about sustain a bit – one of the things to consider is when these characters get their massive sustain potential.
Ranged carries typically get massive sustain potential near the end of the game – this is also when they've spiked in terms of risk as their builds are very fragile compared to the relative damage output of everyone else.
The other thing to think about here is whether or not they can lifesteal at will – it typically requires additional minions and pausing to attack – while these are not as restrictive as say, channeling in place to heal – it is more restrictive than a point-and-click heal spell that is no longer gated by mana.
In effect – it's both that lifesteal has the most restrictions (needs a target, only becomes powerful late in the game, actually requires secondary elements) compared to healing (generally more powerful early and requires no other elements) that enable it to have the magnitude it is allowed to.
Why do some champions get offense from building defense and vice versa?
referencing Olaf, Vladimir, Volibear, Riven and Xerath
  Xypherous: For the first part – in general, there's a reason why those characters are inherently problematic – and when they are seen in high level play – bad things kind of happen. While I'm not saying that they're mistakes – when you break a general rule – you need to compensate with some other weakness or some other behavior.
Olaf, for example – gains defensive scaling through offense because he generally has zero mobility tools whatsoever. It's also what makes Olaf tricky to balance and I fully admit that he's not in the greatest of spots.
For Riven, specifically – that's one of the major errors on my part – her heavy offensive to defense scaling actually creates a lot of negative aspects on the character. She was made in a world where buying offense was a pure trap on melee characters – and thus the heavy scaling was meant to mitigate that behavior.
It was also to counter the power of resistance stacking upon high base value shields – Riven's shield base value is close to half the effectiveness of other shields – as building resistances to multiply the strength of that shield was obnoxiously strong. I agree that it's tuned waaay too aggressively at this point with the S3 baseline statistic changes.
As for Xerath, I believe the original reasoning was that Xerath rooting himself incurred additional risk above and beyond other characters.
Is there a weakness to poke strategies?
  Xypherous: Poke is inherently an a non-interactive strategy – the idea behind poke being to get free damage while being unassailable.
It's also determined at team composition mostly – which makes it a weakness determined at champion select rather than a play-style.
  Xypherous: Currently, our poke champions do not pay sufficient costs for the strength of the poke they they have.
A poke comp is certainly viable – but they need intrinsic counterplay. Many of the poke champions currently don't actually have all that much play on their kits. A large reason why Jayce and Nidalee are frustrating is due to this dual nature of poke + escape.
I agree with you that a lack of counterplay can be made for any comp type – but it's an ideal at the end of the day – we should strive to make as many compositions viable, as long as they can be outplayed in the scope of the game they are in.
I'm specifically going to look into making a little bit of anti-poke in order for us to better control this phenomenon.
Are multiplicative items such as Randuin's toxic for gameplay?
  Xypherous: Items like Randuin are very restrictive and tend to force out other itemization when they are too good or when they exist in multiple stacking forms.
This is in general, the problem with most multiplicative items – when you have too many of them, you either have to flood them so there's choice between the multipliers on an equal level – or you have to heavily restrict them so they don't close out choice.
For example, currently we have lots of critical strike items only one real AP multiplier item. Because if there was only 3 crit items or 3 AP multiplier items – the build would necessitate all 3 of them in a lot of cases
Why are AD assassins seeing more play than bruisers in Season 3?
  Xypherous: We did two things in Season 3 – we lowered the power of flat armor penetration and increased the multiplicative effects of % and flat penetration.
What this let us do is essentially have better controls on assassins having absurd damage output in lane and falling off – this is fairly toxic gameplay. Smoothing out the damage curve somewhat lets characters like this exist in a better space without being too spikey at one phase of the game.
Quick Summary
Tanks in League of Legends rely on Crowd Control as their primary damage mitigation, i.e the more time the carry is not hitting them due to being stunned/knocked-up etc. the less time they're hitting the tank. Mechanics such as invulnerability or high resistances are not interacting with the rest of the game and as a result feel lacking in terms of fun and balance. A minor shift is being considered, however, as Riot is trying to expand on the tank role by making durable, weak DPS characters tougher to kill from the start.
Offensive builds are more powerful than defensive ones by design, because the DPS player risks more by going that route. Naturally, this should pay off for the squishier characters on the power curve in order to justify going glass cannon over stacking tank items. Even so, tanks and supports are able to get solid income to be viable later on due to GP/10 items. These follow a similar philosophy because they grant less stats, thus opening a window of vulnerability. Risk should be rewarded to give players an incentive to build damage over defense.
Lifesteal is a powerful, interactive mechanic that only escalates late-game when ranged carries become dominant. It is significantly stronger than healing spells because it requires a target and is only available through consistent auto-attacking. Because armor reduced LS strengths it really shines in leeching health off of minions and monsters, turning the lane into a health replenishment of sorts. If there's any issue with it it's early-game lifesteal reaching too high percentages. This is most likely a problem with LS Quintessences and not items or champions.
Builds alone do not merit a champion's risk takes. A melee role is by default riskier than ranged, so a fine line must be drawn between building offense because you're well on defense and vice versa. Damage vs Health, Armor vs Lifesteal, Multiplicative items such as Randuin's and Frozen Heart – they all play into each other balance-wise because there always needs to be an incentive for both offense and defense to be viable choices.

Brian Auger: Listen Here
Listen Here
Brian Auger and The Trinity
Auger Rhythms (Ghosttown QSCD 4028)
Brian Auger (keyboards),
Gary Boyle (guitar), Dave Ambrose, Roger Sutton (basses), Clive Thacker, Mickey Waller, Barry Reeves, Colin Allen (drums).
Composed by Eddie Harris.
Recorded: London, 1970
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
Brian Auger is much better known in Europe than in America. The keyboardist has been in the thick of the English jazz and R&B movement for 40 years. He was one of only a handful of musicians to successfully incorporate R&B, jazz, rock, soul and pop into a homogenized mix in the '60s. Luckily for him, much of it met with commercial success in Great Britain. It can rightly be said that Auger had a hand or two in planting the seeds of jazz-fusion. Auger wasn't just one of these guys who tried to sound like everyone else. He was a thinking man's musician. His take on Eddie Harris's hit "Listen Here" is a perfect example.
Auger wanted a unique sound to best express his version of the Harris pop-jazz piece. He wanted it to sound more like a rock record. That was a unique thought in 1970. So he augmented his popular group at the time by adding another bassist and three more drummers! That makes for one heavy beat and a deep groove. Auger plays a rolling Hammond organ and a pounding piano. Boyle's guitar pierces through the fireworks. Auger's solo is in your face. This is a Traffic jam on human growth hormone. The power of this performance is quite overwhelming. Auger says Eddie Harris told him it was his favorite cover of his composition. I have no doubt.

Music Monday: The Electric Light Orchestra – Can't Get it Out of My Head
Many of you will have missed it the first time, back in the 70s, but The Electric Light Orchestra, otherwise known as ELO produced some of the most outstanding (and original) music of the age.
Their idea, much like that of the Moody Blues, was to put traditional rock instruments together with violins, cellos, string basses, horns and woodwinds to create a greater, fuller sound.
If you've never heard them, I think you're in for a surprise.
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Electric Light Orchestra, and Can't Get it Out of My Head.
As always, modern tech being what it is… if the video doesn't show up, click here for the direct link.

There's one thing that every stringed instrument around the world has in common. That is, obviously, that they all require a full set of strings to play them to their full potential. That said, every instrument has a wide variety of strings available, each impacting the way your instrument sounds. Choosing the right strings for your instrument can go a long way in helping you discover your perfect tone.
With so many strings available here, you might think finding your strings might be a bit of a tricky process. To be honest, nothing could be further from the truth! Most musicians love checking out different strings; mixing and matching in that quest for the perfect sound. So step up, have a look around and before you know it, you'll be ready to play.
First thing's first, what kind of instrument are you playing? In this section you'll find strings for electric guitars and basses, as well as acoustic guitars and basses, banjos, autoharps, mandolins, ukuleles, dulcimers, orchestral instruments and more. Checking out the proper subcategory for you can remove all the strings you won't need and allow you to focus on your top options.
Next, you may way want to sort the strings available by brand. All the biggest names in the music industry are available in this section, including D'Addario, Ernie Ball, DR, GHS, Fender, Dean Markley Elixir, and plenty of others. If you have a very specific brand of strings that you want to play, you'll certainly have no issue finding them here.
As stated earlier, the right strings for you are going to come down to personal preference. Everything available here is of great quality, so you can rest assured you're getting the best. If you're not entirely sure which set of strings is perfect for you, the simply solution is to try out a few different kinds until you make your choice. After all, strings always need to be changed eventually, so there's really no harm in experimenting. So now's the time! Make your choice, tune up, and get ready for your instrument to sound as fresh as the first time you played it.

Cancer Currents for December 2013
News and Notes from the Director
Each year the holiday season offers opportunities to pause, to celebrate, and to appreciate time spent with friends and family. It is also a time for reflection—back on one year closing, and ahead to one about to begin.
As I look back over the past year, I think of the exciting scientific retreat, our first, held late in April. That spring weekend the mood was expansive: a gathering of cancer center investigators committed to developing personalized care treatments through genomic analysis, dedicated to the most fundamental of studies to identify the activities of key cancer regulators, and working to develop effective cancer screening programs for our community. It gives me immense pride to know that our cancer focus is unwavering.
Last month I attended Telling our Stories, an annual cancer center event where patients and their loved ones present original art and written work. As one mother read a piece about saying goodbye to her son's care team as they left the hospital for hospice care, knowing that she would not return after years of struggle together, I felt the intensity of this family's experience. The stories shared that night were powerful reminders that our commitment to research and to addressing the many unmet needs of our patients is a calling of great significance.
In the coming year we will address the expectations of health care reform, meet the challenge of funding our academic enterprise with few committed partners, and continue the hard work of renewing the Cancer Center core grant. These challenges will test our mettle, but they are modest compared to those of our patients.
I thank each of you for this year of dedication and hard work, and have great confidence that we will continue to make the noteworthy contributions for which you have a well-deserved reputation.
—Mark Israel, Director
FDA Tobacco Director's Concerns: Teen Smokers, E-cigarette Regulation
The FDA finally has the right set of regulatory tools to help reduce tobacco use, the leading cause of preventable cancer deaths in the United States, according to FDA Center for Tobacco Products Director Mitchell Zeller. Zeller presented Norris Cotton Cancer Center's 2013 C. Everett Koop Distinguished Lecture, "Keeping the Koop Vision Alive: Science-Based Tobacco Product Regulation in the 21st Century," on November 19, 2013. Zeller outlined three agency priorities: support for research into nicotine addiction and alternative nicotine-delivery systems, stricter enforcement of laws prohibiting tobacco product sales to minors, and a new education campaign for adolescent and teen smokers.
"We have failed the at-risk, vulnerable 13-18 year olds," said Zeller. "Every day 3,300 kids light up a tobacco product for the first time, and every day more than 700 of these kids move from experimentation to becoming regular smokers. Adolescents are "replacing" most of the adult smokers who die each year." (read more)
Giving with Compassion: One Employee's Story
Lynn Root, RN, Blood and Marrow Transplant nurse coordinator, is exactly the kind of person you'd want on your team if you were a patient at Norris Cotton Cancer Center. Her commitment to her patients is undeniable: "I really enjoy taking care of cancer patients. As cliché as it sounds, I think it has been my life's calling. So many patients have touched my life in the 36 years I've been here. But what is really special is when I can share their stories to help new cancer patients along their journey."
In addition to her work as a nurse, Lynn has been a loyal donor to D-H and the Norris Cotton Cancer Center for almost 20 years. She values being employed by D-H, but her inspiration to give back is deeper than just her loyalty to the institution. "Being present at a meeting between a bone marrow donor and recipient is so deeply moving. This is what we do on a daily basis, and this is why we are here. It's very powerful."
Over the years Lynn has seen many improvements in cancer patients' quality of life thanks to advances in cancer research. "The medications cancer patients receive have less negative side effects than in the past," she says. "Blood typing has become much more advanced, which means fewer complications for our patients undergoing bone marrow transplants." But, Lynn is quick to add, "There is still work to be done." In 2007, after losing her sister to lung cancer, Lynn decided to increase her giving. "I signed up for payroll deduction to the Cancer Research Fund," she says. "Some diagnoses don't have positive outcomes and we really need to invest in researching those cancers."
Loyal donors like Lynn are critical to our work at the Cancer Center. The support of employees, faculty, and community members makes a significant difference in the lives of the patients and families we serve. "I would strongly encourage other people to donate to whatever drives their compassion," Lynn says. "For me it's cancer research. I think that's how we will make a difference."
Choose to support what matters most to you this holiday season, at the Cancer Center, elsewhere at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, or the Geisel School of Medicine. You can give online at www.cancer.dartmouth.edu/donate. To sign up for payroll deduction or for more information on giving opportunities please contact Amy Schrom, director of Annual Giving, at email@example.com or 603-653-0745. Thank you for your generosity.

Carmen Marsit, PhD Appointed co-director of Cancer Epidemiology Research Program
The Norris Cotton Cancer Center is pleased to announce the appointment of Carmen Marsit as co-director of the NCCC Cancer Epidemiology Research Program. Carmen received his BS from Lafayette College in 2000 and his PhD in Biological Sciences in Public Health from Harvard in 2004. Carmen is an experienced molecular epidemiologist with unique multidisciplinary training and expertise in molecular biology, genetics, and epidemiology and his research combines these disciplines to powerfully examine the importance of epigenetic regulation in cancer biology and pathology with the use of genomic technologies in population-based studies. He has led pioneering work on the examination of epigenetic mechanisms in human population studies, including work in bladder, lung, and head and neck cancers. He also has a significant research program focused on identifying how environmental exposures linked to carcinogenesis and other health outcomes impact the human epigenome. Carmen has a strong publication and extramural funding record that provide strong evidence of this expertise and skill in molecular epidemiologic studies.
In his new position, Carmen will share responsibility with the current co-director, Margaret Karagas in facilitating population-based research and especially molecular research within defined populations. We are excited by Carmen's commitment to provide outstanding mentorship for NCCC faculty and expand the CE program using it as a unique and powerful platform for building interdisciplinary and translational research bridging modern genomic science and population-based studies of human cancer.
Konstantin Dragnev, MD Appointed co-director of Cancer Mechanisms Research Program
The Norris Cotton Cancer Center is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Konstantin Dragnev as co-director of the NCCC Cancer Mechanisms Research Program.

It would seem that seeing Kim Kardashian in public without makeup would be as likely as seeing Lady Gaga perform in "normal" clothes.
However, the reality star, who is usually dressed to the nines and super-glammed up, was out and about in Los Angeles on Wednesday, sporting an uncharacteristically "laid back" look: seemingly no makeup and hair pulled back en route to a manicure.
Don't hate me because I'm "naturally" beautiful
Kim has long denied any "upkeep" on her famous face. She told ABC news back in May, "I'm totally not against plastic surgery. I've tried Botox before. That's the only thing I've done."
Some have speculated that she's had a nose job, but she emphatically denies it. Says Kim, "I've never had my nose done."
Probably best known for her curvaceous bum, surprisingly, it's her nose that makes the "Keeping up with the Kardashians" star feel the most insecure...
"What's funny about my nose, it's my biggest insecurity. I've always wanted to get my nose done...I went to the doctor, I had them take the pictures, he showed me what it would look like and it just didn't - I wouldn't look the same."
"I think her nose is perfect," said Sue G of Cincinnati. "I'm surprised that her nose makes her insecure. I think she's beautiful...even without makeup."
The Kardashian sisters (Kim, Khloe and Kourtney) have been doing the talk show circuit lately to promote their co-authored book, Kardashian Konfidential, in bookstores now.
Do Tell: How do you think Kim looks without makeup? Do you believe she's had no work done?

'Parking Squid' for bicycles to be dedicated at Seattle Center, May 31
Meet artist Susan Robb as she introduces the bike rack Parking Squid, 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., Thursday, May 31 at the Harrison Street entrance of Seattle Center. Come raise a glass, help "christen" the artwork and celebrate safe biking for all. Parking Squid is located on the north side of the EMP Museum.
Parking Squid provides parking for bicycles within the tentacles of a deep-sea creature that might be found at the depths of Puget Sound. The artwork is one of six temporary artworks presented by the Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs that illustrate how artists are shaping the conversation around environmental sustainability for The Next Fifty, the 50th anniversary of the 1962 World's Fair. The galvanized steel Parking Squid provides bike parking for The Next Fifty at Seattle Center through October 21.
Robb creates innovative artwork that articulates the relationship between landscape and object through investigations of environment, materials and contemporary social issues. Her work is in private and public collections.
Parking Squid addresses the expanding need for bicycle parking, as identified in the Seattle Department of Transportation's (SDOT) Bicycle Master Plan. SDOT is currently updating the Bicycle Master Plan, which aims to triple the number of people bicycling in Seattle over 10 years. Take a short online survey or use an interactive mapping tool to inform SDOT of needed bicycle improvements.
Parking Squid is commissioned with SDOT 1% for Art funds and administered by the Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs.

Where is the Parking Squid going after October 21st? Why isn't it a permanent functional art installation?
Comment from J Baker
Time May 25, 2012 at 7:12 am
That is quite the awesome bike parking solution! Kudos to Susan Robb and the Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs!
Comment from Tamara Childress
Time May 25, 2012 at 10:02 am
Thanks for your question. The Parking Squid is ultimately intended to be a permanent installation. The Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs had not fully negotiated a site when the opportunity came to locate the artwork at Seattle Center for The Next Fifty celebration, coinciding with The Next Fifty's Sustainable Futures Month. After Oct. 21, the bike rack will move to a permanent location yet-to-be-determined.

|The Packers have a chance tonight and contract talks are already underway with Ahman Green. He'll be back in 2007 almost for sure.
The VOR
|Well, contract talks may be under way, but I hope the Packers don't overpay. I think Green is making just about what he's worth right now. I wouldn't extend him for like twice the salery or anything. Tonight you saw the difference between a star running back, and an average running back, Green being on the average end of his career. The Packers need a new star running back. Ahman Greens best days are clearly behind him.
