Ellipse clarifies G-Day group policies
John Ritchie, group chief executive for Ellipse, said group policies were originally felt to be exempt from the terms of the directive, which is due to come in on 21 December this year.
However, it has since emerged that benefits attracting a P11D charge, such as employer-funded critical illness cover, will fall within the directive and others, such as flexible and voluntary benefits may do depending on how courts interpret the directive.
Mr Ritchie said: "Advisers need to know the approach providers are taking sooner rather than later to enable them to give the appropriate advice to their clients.
"In the group market, quotes are valid for three months, so with the directive coming into force on 21 December, providers need to have set out and implemented their response by September.
"We have established our position now so that we can make the necessary system changes in good time and we want to share the information with advisers so that they know where they and their clients stand."
He said Ellipse will still require information about members' genders for both quotations and for servicing in-force policies as the directive specifically allows gender to be factored into the rating of group schemes.
Roy McLoughlin, IFA for London-based Master Adviser, said: "It is clear there is a plethora of unanswered questions for advisers.
"It is imperative that distributors work alongside life offices to find answers and manage realistic customer expectations. The timescales and potential underwriting delays should not be underestimated alongside the anticipated bottle neck insurers may face later in the year."

New Zealand's Tauranga Half-Triathlon Welcomes Strong Women's Field
- By Super Administrator
- Published Jan 5, 2011
This weekend's Tauranga half-triathlon will welcome Australia's Rebekah Keat and New Zealand's Jo Lawn, among others.
New Zealand veteran Jo Lawn must counter another strong Australian assault if she is to win a third Port of Tauranga half-triathlon title at Mt Maunganui on Saturday.
Australian women have won five times in the past decade and are sending another strong contingent, including three-time winner Rebekah Keat, Nicole Ward, Carrie Lester and former New Zealander Anna Cleaver, making a return to the sport at the top level.
With defending champion Sam Warriner bypassing the event after just returning to training, Lawn will assume the lead role for New Zealand.
She won back-to-back titles in 2006 and 2007, was runner-up in 2008 and 2009 and fourth last year in the race she uses as a key barometer for her progress towards Ironman New Zealand in March.

Pretty Adventure Time in Lotte World!
Here we have Disney Paris and Disney Tokyo. What we do not have is Disney Seoul. Do we need one? Nope! We really don't. Why?
Because we have Lotte World! And Lotte World is essential to visit!
HOW TO GET THERE! KEY WORDS – Jamsil, Line 2, Exit 4
Get to Line 2. The green line. You can ALSO get there from Line 8 if you're on the southeast end of Seoul. Very easy to get to! It has its own exit! Exit #4! You'll find that any well-known place is usually a step away from the station. Lotte World is directly in front of it.
Its hours are 9:30 am- 11 pm. The highest admission price is 30,000 won and that's for daytime hours. That price gets you unlimited usage from your ticket. The prices are split between day and night. It's about 4,000 won less if you go at night. If you don't get unlimited usage that knocks off another 6,000 won from your price but you can only go on 5 rides. Night hours are 5pm – 11pm.
Lotte World is a giant indoor amusement park with attractions outdoors too! It holds the prestigous title of "World's Largest Indoor Theme Park." And that's not made-up nonsense they're spouting. It's a title granted to them by the Guinness Book of World Records. The photo does not in any way capture the monstrosity of how large it actually is.
Looking up Lotte World online brings up results like "Disneyland Koreafied" "Disney Wannabe." But Lotte World is standing successfully on its own without Disney's help. Can you hear that Disney? It's the sound of Lotte World making bank without any of your funding.
Lotte World is really gorgeous too! The attention to detail is amazing!
Anti-stroller caps on! Watch out for rogue strollers! Notice how many there are? That doesn't account for the amount of strollers there really are. Now I know it's a given that when you go to any theme park: expect lots of strollers. (Sigh) What can those of us who have had our feet repeatedly run over by strollers do? No matter where we go in the world, we'll just have to deal with it.
Ghosts!!!! No, not really. Just camera acting up.The Prefere ice cream brand is here! Something you'll definitely want to try regardless of whether you're in Lotte World or not! Aim for the blueberry and grape flavor! Don't go for chocolate and vanilla! That's boring! Try something new!!
The other nifty thing about Lotte World? Plenty of photo ops!!! And Lotte World has its own cast of colorful characters! I still haven't figured out what they are. At first they looked like foxes (orange color) but their pointy teeth makes me think they're chipmunks. But the dark shade around their eyes makes them look like raccoons. But raccoons aren't orange or brown. It's a mystery! I don't even know what to call them!
Lotte World Castle looks pretty stellar at night!! Yeaaahhh I know what you're all thinking. "I wanna come here on a date!" It does make an awesome date spot! But it's JUST as much fun with friends!
ATLANTIS ADVENTURE! You can't miss out on this roller coaster if you're an adrenaline junkie. It's so fast. It's pretty rough on the curves, giving you the impression of "OMG are we crashing?!" which for you adrenaline junkies is exactly what you want! Lot of twists and curves on this one. Really fun!
PHARAOH'S FURY – My personal favorite. I am not an adrenaline junkie! I prefer rides with a lot of detail put into them. It's hard to describe this ride without mentioning Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, but it's like that. Basically riding along in a jeep through ancient Egyptian chambers with run-ins along the way: a sphinx, a giant cobra. The attention to detail is off the wall impressive!! Everything is so ornate and crafted accurately down to the very last hieroglyphic!
THE FRENCH REVOLUTION – The other big, thirsts-on-speed roller coaster in the park! It's got bigger drops, loops; you get more of the classic roller coaster experience from this one.
THE ADVENTURES OF SINBAD – This is Lotte World's version of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean ride. To say it's a carbon copy is an understatement. It moves at the same pace, gracefully flowing along the canal, animatronic characters abound plus actors reflected by projectors (no actual actors on the ride).
COMET EXPRESS – Not exactly a roller coaster! More like a speedy, twisty-turny, zip zap-a-roo through images of flashing stars and solar systems. Indoors, and A LOT of fun! But easy to miss! Pay attention to your map!
There's also a ride called Ghost House which is a 3D experience seen through the perspective of a cat. The 3D Dinosaur Adventure on the other hand? AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
I scoured the Internet for a map and I found one! Here's an image to a really big map!

"Barbara Walters was--and is--a very sexy babe... All the other newsmen were scared shitless of her, and so resentful of her that they missed the point--she is a profoundly sensual, very female being with a great body. How can you look at Barbara Walters and not see those great tits?"

"Take, for example, Richard Cohen, the columnist for the Washington Post. I can't wait to say, 'Isn't he the sissy who had an affair?'.. He called me a 'virus' infecting the body of the news."

I have started and abandoned several posts over the past few weeks. I knew I needed to write something… but what story did I want to tell? An angry tirade about being screwed over? A scathing tell-all about what really happened inside 38? A self-pitying plea for a job? So many emotions inside me, a turbid swirl screaming for an outlet.
So this is what I've come up with.
It has been nearly a month since all of this began. Try to picture that; a month ago, everything seemed fine. Over the past 30 days, so many rugs have been pulled out from under me and my colleagues that I've lost count of the threads. We've lost our income, our insurance, our camaraderie. It's been one slap in the face after another, and 38's bankruptcy keeps finding new ways to hurt us all; just yesterday, we found out that our 401K funds are frozen for an indeterminate amount of time. I have no doubt that things will get more painful before they get better.
Emotions? Had 'em all. Screaming rage, blinding tears, pity for myself, pity for others, defiance, numbness, fear. To an outsider, I can see how some of this might seem silly. It's just a video game, right? People lose their jobs all the time–suck it up and find another one.
But it's just not that simple. I've spent nearly six years of my life building this company and working on this game. I've forged some very deep, personal bonds with the people I've worked with. Over this time, my life has changed in profound ways. I've seen my child come into this world. I nearly lost her and my wife in a fatal car crash. I've held my mother in my arms as she lay dying. And through all those things, I've been helped and comforted by Curt Schilling and my teammates at 38.
Work was tough and the pressure relentless, but so, so joyous as well. I got to work hands-on with R. A. Salvatore, taking the framework of a world he created and building it into something huge, ambitious, and wonderful. I watched amazing artists undertake the most startling transformation of concept paintings into game assets that I've ever seen. Stories born as mere fragments of ideas were coming to life all around me in a studio full of people who embraced their role as storytellers. It was immensely gratifying.
And then it was gone. The poultice ripped away, a mortal wound left to fester. The grief is very real; this may sound melodramatic to those of you on the outside, but this experience feels much like the death of a dear friend. I've said before that shipping a game after years of work makes you feel like you've been through a war, and the people you fought alongside are the only ones who really know what you've been through. In this case, to work six years on a dream and have it almost come to life, only to lose it suddenly, is a very real psychological trauma. Despite the dozens of articles written on the demise of 38, the only people who really understand are the ones who make up this now fractured fraternity that was once a great team.
It's been hard to find the time necessary to process it all. As soon as the downward spiral began, we were plunged into a frantic period of resume building, job fairs, phone calls, and unemployment filings. The week of E3 was the first stretch where things got quiet–disturbingly quiet. For me, not yet having secured a new job, that's when the anxiety really took hold.
Even after growing numb to the headlines and news broadcasts, little stings come along with clever ways to hurt me. I still find myself looking at my phone for new email. It used to be that pretty much any hour of the day or night, there was something to read: a bug report, a piece of art to approve, some copy to review, a silly thread on our miscellaneous list, or a NSFW link from a cohort. The absence of that 38 mailbox aches like a phantom limb.
I'm still angry about lots of things (did I mention being screwed out of thousands of dollars?), and I still get so very sad when I think of all that could have been. But mostly I've reached acceptance. Not an acceptance of being at peace–I don't think I can ever be at peace with what happened–but more an acceptance of resignation, the realization that things are so utterly fucked up as to be completely beyond my control. There's simply nothing I can do to save the company, to save the story of Amalur, to recover anything that I've lost. All I can do at this point is to look out for my brothers and sisters, the comrades I've been in the trenches with for all these years. I can try to help them however I can, even as I scramble to find my own landing place. Because if there's one truth I've learned over all my years of work, across the many careers I've undertaken, it's that the connections you make with good people end up being the greatest treasure.
I have lost something that I deeply loved. I'm constantly surrounded by reminders of that loss, both in the abstract sense, in stories online and in the media, and by the literal presence of boxes surrounding the desk where I write this post, boxes filled with the books, toys, and bric-a-brac that used to decorate my office at One Empire Plaza. The body doesn't feel cold yet, but I have to bury it and move on.
And that's what I must do. I have to let go. That doesn't mean the emotions won't be there–those demons will swirl around inside me for a long, long time. But I have to look forward, to restore belief in my talents and abilities, to focus on building a new future. To be sure, it won't be the future I planned six years ago–that dream is gone. But it will be something good, something new to love, something new to believe in. Because I've learned a private truth, a truth I probably tried to deny for a long time: I'm a person who needs to believe in something bigger than myself.
Despite all the pain, this lesson is a positive I can carry with me for the rest of my days. And that's a tangible blessing, a gift to help me smile through the tears.
Goodbye, 38. Goodbye, Amalur. I have loved you more dearly than I can ever say. And I will let you go.

Thanks for putting this up so quickly, but I just wanted people to know that I made a mistake on the last two lines chords. It's G then A rather than A then G. The D at the end is correct though. OK, thanks everybody! 😀
Thanks so much, Emily! I just heard this the other day and immediately wanted to play it.
i think the Amaj7 i incorrect and its F#m instead? Am i right?
Thank you so much for this! I do think Frederik's right about the F#m instead of Amaj7.
Could you also play this on piano??? Would the chords be the same???
What is the strumming pattern please?
I tried it but it just doesn't sound right. on every tutorial the chords just don't sound right and I don't know why! is this for soprana ukes or not?

The Great Depression
Lorena Hickok in The Great Depression
Lorena Hickok (1893-1968) was one of America's most prominent female journalists during the 1930s. The only woman assigned to cover the Roosevelt campaign in 1932, Hickok struck up a very close relationship with Eleanor Roosevelt, becoming the First Lady's most intimate friend and—some scholars believe—perhaps her lesbian lover.
During Franklin Roosevelt's first term, Hickok left her journalism career to work as the administration's eyes on the ground, chronicling the conditions of everyday life in Depression-struck America. Traveling all across the country, she filed a series of reports sent to federal relief administrator Harry Hopkins, providing vivid descriptions of the miseries endured by the American people during the Great Depression.

Daliresp User Reviews
Now you can gain knowledge and insight about a drug treatment with Patient Discussions.
Here is a collection of user reviews for the medication Daliresp sorted by most helpful.
Have taken for about 3 months. IT WORKS! I had been having flare ups every couple of weeks - just finish one round of prednizone and anti-biotics and a week later would have to start again. Have not had a flare up with Dalisrep. BUT - I have had to stop taking. Felt nauseous all the time. No appitite. Lost 16 pounds since first of March. Absolutely miserable. Called my doctor yesterday and he told me to stop. I hope something can be done to tone down the side effects because it certainly does what it says in the treatment of COPD.
I am an 80 year young senior with COPD, and I was so looking forward to feeling better and breathing better on this medication - so disappointed !! The side effects were too much to handle (stomach).
I was diagnosed with COPD with Emphysema and given the Daliresp. At first I experienced extreme diarreha and nausea and vomiting.Also muscle cramps from the loss of potassium. It has now been thirty days and the diarrreaha has subsided but the nausea remains with every dose with loss of appetite. Breathing has been a lot easier though not needing to use the rescue meds as often now.
Related Reading: Emphysema | nausea and vomiting | muscle cramps
On the 3rd day of taking this drug I developed severe diarrhea. I lost my appetite and consequently my blood pressure decreased and I felt faint and light headed. I do not know if these side effects would lessen over time, because my doctor told be to stop taking Daliresp after 10 days. This did not help my breathing as others have claimed.
Related Reading: diarrhea
I took this drug for four days before I noticed any changes other than insomnia (big time)and headache (big time). Then, on the fifth dose I noticed I was having thoughts on how best to leave this world. I started having diarrhea and the worst was the low back pain and sciatica like symptoms down the back of both legs. The pain was only alleviated with ice packs. No amountaspirin, ibuprofen or Tylenol could touch it. I did notice after the fifth day that I was breathing quite a bit better and not having as many bronchospasms. I decided to try alternating the dose one day on, one day off. No help with adverse side effects. I skipped three days in between doses; also with no help. I don't think I can stand to take this med due to the back pain, headache, depressive thoughts and diarrhea. I wonder if a person took it for a couple of months would the bad side effects go away? Thanks for listening.
Have been taking for one month; have lost about 15 pounds, but for me that helps, as I'm about 40 lbs overwieght. I am, however, experiencing some short-term dizziness after standing up. Otherwise, it seems to help the flare-ups.
Related Reading: dizziness
iv'e only been on this med for a few days and have had no side effects and i hope i don't .I'm praying that this med geivs me back some quality of life that my years of smoking robbed from me.I'll post again in a few weeks to let u all know.

Call 471-6636
I was recently informed that it is Sikeston Public School policy that the second quarter grade automatically becomes the first semester grade and the fourth quarter becomes the second semester grade, instead of the traditional method of averaging. I fail to see the logic behind this policy. A student could get a 99 percent (A) for the first quarter and a 89 percent for the second quarter (B). If these grades were averaged, it would be an A for the semester with a 94 percent. Under this policy, the student would be given a B for the semester. Another student could get a D for the first quarter and an A in the second quarter and be given an A for the semester. Making a note that the semester grades are the only grades that go on the student's permanent record, that could make a big difference on a high school student's efforts to go to college or to earn a scholarship. Is this truly a Sikeston Public School policy? If so, what can concerned parents do to change it?
We called Paul Kitchen, assistant superintendent for the Sikeston R-6 School Board. "The present policy states that it will be a running score from the beginning of the semester to the end of the semester. Grades are tallied throughout the first two quarters, so the score at the end of the second quarter and fourth quarter are actually a compilation of daily scores to make the semester grade - not the averaging of a first quarter and second quarter score. The quarters in the Sikeston R-6 School District do not stand alone. This is different from the way some other districts may do it." For more information, contact the principal of your school.
Daschle would rather give the stacks money to people having another baby, not married, and spend it all for having them delivered and to take care of them, than to give it back to the working people who work and have lost their jobs and have paid it in. I think the Republicans are trying to help things, but the Democrats just want to give it to people who don't work so they can get their votes.
Every time I see pictures in the paper of the Sikeston Department of Public Safety, they're all fat. They're not just fat. They're extremely fat. The only one I saw who isn't fat is Dan Armour. He's put on weight in the last few years, but at least he's not rolling. The other guys, I don't see how they walk. They must waddle. What do they do? Sit in their police cars all day eating doughnuts and drinking coffee?

Upendra to star in Guru's Director's Special
Earlier, director Guruprasad had roped in comedian Komal Kumar for the lead role in movie Director's Special after he split from Jaggesh after the movie Eddelu Manjunatha. But Komal opted out of the project by stating that he would not be able to do justice to the role.
Mata and Eddelu Manjunatha fame director Guruprasad, who is known for satirical comedy movies with double-entendre touch, has now taken the subject on the in and outs of Gandhi Nagar (Sandalwood). In his previous movies, Gandhi Nagar was just a part of his stories, but now he has taken it as a lead story.
Uppi, who loves doing different kinds of role, might enjoy working with Guruprasad's Director's Special. He had acted as a director, in his first film A. He is said to be playing the same kind of role in this movie as well.

Two separate teams of scientists reported Wednesday the first-ever detection from Earth of the atmosphere of planets outside our solar system.
Barely 300 exoplanets -- some of which may have conditions similar to those that gave rise to life on Earth -- have been identified so far, though astronomers assume that far more are waiting to be discovered.
Up to now, virtually everything known about the atmosphere of exoplanets has come from data collected by the space-based Spitzer infrared telescope.
But Spitzer will soon run out of the cryogens needed to keep its instruments cool, severely limiting its capabilities.
One team spotted a massive planet many times the size of Earth named OGLE-TR-56b, a so-called "hot Jupiter."
Hot Jupiters are massive planets -- many times the size of Earth -- that orbit very close to their stars. Because they are so near, they are believed to be hot enough to emit radiation in optical and near-infrared wavelengths that would be visible from Earth.
"The successful recipe is a planet that emits a lot of heat and has little-to-no wind in its atmosphere," said co-author Mercedes Lozez-Morales of the Carnegie Institution in Washington D.C.
In addition, it must be a clear and calm night on Earth in order accurately measure the differences in thermal emissions when the exoplanet is eclipsed as it goes behind the star.
"The eclipse allows us to separate the emissions of the planet from those of the star," she said in a statement.
Two observations of OGLE-TR-56b were made last summer, one using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, and the other using Carnegie's own Magellan-Baade telescope, both in Chile.
"The planet is glowing red-hot like a kitchen stove burner," said lead author David Sing of the Paris Astrophysics Institute.
"But we had to know precisely when the eclipse was going to happen and measure the stellar flux very accurately so it could be removed to reveal the planet's thermal emission," he said.
In the other study, also to be published in the Paris-based journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, astronomers in the Netherlands detected thermal emissions from another exoplanet names TrES-3b.

Considering this draft is such a snoozer after the first two picks, picking up a Harden, Maynor or Mills would be pretty good.
Another name to through in the mix, Tyreke Evans. I'd take him over any other guard except Rubio, Harden, and maybe Mills.
I think you might be spot on about Buddinger. That could be one of those head-scratchers on the surface that ends up working well if the kid gets into a situation where he could fit in.
You know, it's also never a bad thing when an athletic 7 footer drops to you in the draft – if Memphis doesn't trade and takes Rubio (which I think is unlikely, like was said before – I think they're leveraging the pick).

'Tis the season for relating dark tales, and Albany has had its share.
No, I'm not talking about New York state government – nothing that gruesome. Instead, I offer you some murder, courtesy of the 1886 Bicentennial History of Albany.
This book contains a list titled "Homicides in the County of Albany." The list's author, Elisha Mack, was a longtime Albany detective credited with being one of the men who shaped the city's modern police force. It's an interesting browse – see it here if you like – and it gives us a different glimpse of Albany's past than we might find elsewhere.
There are about 140 murder cases in Mack's list. Just a handful are from the 1600s and 1700s; most occurred between 1800 and 1884. That averages out, in the nineteenth century, to a little more than a murder and a half per year. Of course, these are just the cases that were handled by the police and the courts. No doubt there were other crimes that never made it on the books. And not all of these cases led to convictions: Sometimes the charges were dismissed or the accused acquitted at trial.
Who was killing whom? Seventeen of the victims are identified as children, and in most of those cases, the accused was the mother. Eighteen cases involve husbands charged with killing their wives. Two are wives killing husbands. John Jackson killed his mother-in-law in 1850 and spent four years in prison for it.
Albany County residents killed with knives, poison, and fists. Frequently murderers hit their victims over the heads with heavy objects: stove lids, stew pans, cart-stakes, clubs. There was the occasional gunshot. James Whalen threw Peter Turner into the canal in 1848.
A few of the cases in Mack's list may be familiar to modern connoisseurs of Albany history. Certainly the 1827 murder of John Whipple at Cherry Hill is an oft-told story. (Don't know it? Get the book.) Sex, deception, betrayal, class prejudice, violence – Jesse Strang and Elsie Whipple's plot to do away with her husband would make a great made-for-TV movie.
Newspaper articles and other books fill in the details of some of these crimes.
Wee Kee, according to The New York Times in 1884, was Albany's first Chinese resident. So probably he was Albany's first Chinese murder victim. Owner of a laundry on Hudson near Pearl, Wee Kee was shot and killed by his business partner, Ah Kay. The accused man's motive was, reportedly, a plan to steal Wee Kee's $150 in savings. But Ah Kay testified that he shot in self defense: Wee Kee had chased him down into the cellar with a kettle of boiling water and then threatened him with a dagger. The jury did not accept that story. Given a 20-year sentence, Ah Kay died in prison.
"Hers was the loveliness of a rose. … Those who saw her still speak of the wondrous coloring of her cheek and the soft fires of her glance."
That's how The New York Times described Mary Hartung, a young Albany woman who put arsenic and phosphorus paste in her husband's soup and became a cause célèbre for people who could not bear the idea of hanging a woman, certainly not, in any case, a beautiful one.
Mary and her husband, Emil Hartung, kept a saloon on Division Street. Living with them was a boarder by name of William Rheinmann, and as one account put it, "It was current gossip that his relations with Mrs. Hartung were not on a moral basis." After Emil's painful illness and death in 1858, his twenty-three-year-old wife was arrested.
Despite damning evidence, it was a reluctant jury that convicted lovely Mary, who was sentenced to be hanged. Her supporters, including many influential leaders and several newspapers, kept her cause alive as it went through appeals. They urged the governor to pardon her, but he would not. According to Ann Jones' book Women Who Kill, they even looked into having the state legislature somehow commute her sentence. Finally, finding no other path to her freedom, her supporters added their voices to the call to abolish capital punishment. And that is what worked.
The state legislature did move to end the death penalty, but their law was so convoluted that it was immediately challenged, and in the mess that followed Mary Hartung wriggled free.
"And so," the Times wrote, "five years after Emil had perished in lingering agony, Mrs. Hartung, a lowly and ruthless Venus Victrix, went forth into the world as free and as conscienceless as the sunlight which she resembled."
Reportedly, she married a farmer. I hope he stayed away from the soup.
Here are a few other cases from Elisha Mack's list that caught my eye. The wording is straight from the source; I added the outcomes.
- 1845. Robert Black and Patrick Markey, indicted for manslaughter in the fourth degree by running their sleigh into another sleigh in which was Miss Lydia Oliver, who was thereby instantly killed. (Sentence: two years in prison.)
- 1884. Mrs. Margaret Ahern, indicted for murder in the second degree by maliciously pushing Peter Clark off a stoop, causing instant death. (Sentence: three years in the penitentiary.)
- 1839. Isaac Hallenbake, indicted for manslaughter in the fourth degree, causing the death of Seth B. Barman, under twelve years of age, by administering to him spirituous liquors. (Acquitted.)
- 1857. Robert Morrison, indicted for manslaughter, by keeping bears on a public thoroughfare, whereby one John Hoey and an Indian named Joseph Harney were killed. (Acquitted.)
The bicentennial history's authors reassure us: "It is worthy of note that the number of murders is very small for a county so old, and with so large of population made up of people of such varied nationality and pursuit."
I don't know about that. But we can perhaps take a grim comfort in the fact that life in the past was at least as chaotic and dangerous it is today.

Acquainted with the Night
by Robert Frost
Symbol Analysis
This is a bleak and lonely poem. Everything seems distant, and the speaker is acquainted, but not friends with, the night. The poem is set in a city, but the only other human we see is an ominous watchman, whom the speaker avoids, and the only humans we hear are the speaker, who stops his own footsteps, and the sound of a far away cry. The speaker hopes that someone is calling for him, but no one is. The images of the poem seem distant and detached.
- Lines 1 and 14: The word "acquainted" is a lonely word. We are acquainted with someone if we've briefly met them, but wouldn't call them our friend (or our enemy). So, in this poem, the speaker knows the night, and although he has a lot of experience with it, he is not its intimate friend. The use of the word "acquainted" could also be an understatement – maybe the speaker actually is more intimate with the night and its sorrows than he would like to admit.
- Line 3: The speaker is in a city, but he's gone past the lights, and he's alone, on the outskirts of a place where many people live. This physical distance is a metaphor for his loneliness.
- Lines 5 and 6: Here we see the watchman, but he's not a very comforting person to run into on a lonely night. Actually, as we find out when the speaker avoids him in line 6, he's a little scary.
- Lines 8-10: This voice is one of the creepiest parts of the poem. Before these lines, the poem deals mostly with the speaker's surroundings, but line 10 shows his thoughts, reflecting that the cry is not for him. This line doesn't explicitly express emotion, but the speaker took the effort to stop and listen to this cry, and seems sad that it's not calling for him.
- Lines 11-12: The image of the moon at its unearthly distance is sad and lonely, like the speaker.

Equivalent OpenTK code for a WebGL functionPosted Monday, 15 July, 2013 - 12:36 by wattale in
Extensions are available as nested types inside the GL class, i.e.:
using OpenTK.Graphics.ES20; GL.Oes.TexImage3D(...);
In WebGL we can get a extension object. Can similar thing be done in OpenGL ES ?
As far as I found, it's all about getting supported extensions as a long String.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared!" (Luke 24:31 NLT)
Ever feel like God is a million miles away? The truth is, he's not. Whatever struggle you're going through, you can rest assured you're not alone. You have God in your corner.
But you're not the only one who has ever wondered where God was during a struggle. On the very first Easter morning, right after Jesus' Crucifixion, the disciples wondered the same thing. In Luke 24, we learn about one particular pair of these disciples who were walking down the road to Emmaus, talking about all that had transpired over the past few days — Jesus' arrest, beating, Crucifixion — and trying to make sense of it all. They thought Jesus was the Messiah; their dream was crushed. They had heard reports that Jesus' grave was empty. They were very confused.
Suddenly Jesus himself came alongside the disciples and joined them in their journey. Yet they were in so much grief, they didn't notice him. Jesus asked about what they were discussing, and so the disciples let him in on the discussion. Jesus went on to share Old Testament passages that explained the events of the past few days.
That night, as they ate dinner with Jesus, the Bible says that "Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared!" (Luke 24:31 NLT)
Imagine what that experience was like for these disciples. The guy they thought was God was crucified and dead. Then they hear he's been resurrected, but they don't believe it. Then a stranger walks along the road with them, eats with them, and suddenly they realize that it's God himself! And then he disappears.
The disciples couldn't see Jesus in their grief. They needed God to show himself to them.
You do, too. I don't know what you've lost this year — whether it's a loved one, your health, your job, a relationship, or a really big deal. But, if you've had a loss like that, you may have missed the fact that God has walked through the entire experience with you.
You were never, ever alone during that time. You couldn't see him, but he was there.
Ask God to show himself to you. He wants you to see him. He wants you to know you were never alone.

Apple Gets Higher Profile in HTML Standardization by Stephen Shankland
An Apple manager has become a co-chairman of the group standardizing HTML, giving the company a higher-profile role in a crucial time for development of the language used to build Web pages.
The World Wide Web Consortium's HTML Working Group had been led by IBM's Sam Ruby and Microsoft's Chris Wilson. Wilson has stepped down and is being replaced by two others, Paul Cotton, who manages Microsoft's Web services standards team, and Maciej Stachowiak, who manages Apple's WebKit WebApps team, according to an e-mail announcement by W3C Director Tim Berners-Lee.
"Why three co-Chairs?" Berners-Lee asked in the note. "Clearly, there is a lot of work to do. Sam, Paul, and Maciej bring particular skills to the job (whether it is Maciej's experience with WebKit or Paul's with Working Group processes)."
The standardization process is complicated, though, with a complex back-and-forth between the standards group and browser makers trying new features on their own.

On behalf of Mrs. Robert Kennedy, her children and the parents and sisters of Robert Kennedy, I want to express what we feel to those who mourn with us today in this Cathedral and around the world. We loved him as a brother and father and son. From his parents, and from his older brothers and sisters – Joe, Kathleen and Jack – he received inspiration which he passed on to all of us. He gave us strength in time of trouble, wisdom in time of uncertainty, and sharing in time of happiness. He was always by our side.
Love is not an easy feeling to put into words. Nor is loyalty, or trust or joy. But he was all of these. He loved life completely and lived it intensely.
A few years back, Robert Kennedy wrote some words about his own father and they expressed the way we in his family feel about him. He said of what his father meant to him: "What it really all adds up to is love – not love as it is described with such facility in popular magazines, but the kind of love that is affection and respect, order, encouragement, and support. Our awareness of this was an incalculable source of strength, and because real love is something unselfish and involves sacrifice and giving, we could not help but profit from it.
"Beneath it all, he has tried to engender a social conscience. There were wrongs which needed attention. There were people who were poor and who needed help. And we have a responsibility to them and to this country. Through no virtues and accomplishments of our own, we have been fortunate enough to be born in the United States under the most comfortable conditions. We, therefore, have a responsibility to others who are less well off."
This is what Robert Kennedy was given. What he leaves us is what he said, what he did and what he stood for. A speech he made to the young people of South Africa on their Day of Affirmation in 1966 sums it up the best, and I would read it now:
"There is a discrimination in this world and slavery and slaughter and starvation. Governments repress their people; and millions are trapped in poverty while the nation grows rich; and wealth is lavished on armaments everywhere.
"These are differing evils, but they are common works of man. They reflect the imperfection of human justice, the inadequacy of human compassion, our lack of sensibility toward the sufferings of our fellows.
"But we can perhaps remember – even if only for a tirne – that those who live with us are our brothers; that they share with us the same short moment of life; that they seek – as we do – nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and happiness, winning what satisfaction and fulfillment they can.
"Surely this bond of common faith, this bond of common goal, can begin to teach us something. Surely, we can learn, at least, to look at those around us as fellow men. And surely we can begin to work a little harder to bind up the wounds among us and to become in our own hearts brothers and countrymen once again.
"Our answer is to rely on youth – not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. The cruelties and obstacles of this swiftly changing planet will not yield to obsolete dogmas and outworn slogans. They cannot be moved by those who cling to a present that is already dying, who prefer the illusion of security to the excitement and danger that come with even the most peaceful progress. It is a revolutionary world we live in; and this generation at home and around the world, has had thrust upon it a greater burden of responsibility than any generation that has ever lived.
"Some believe there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills. Yet many of the world's great movements, of thought and action, have flowed from the work of a single man. A young monk began the Protestant reformation, a young general extended an empire from Macedonia to the borders of the earth, and a young woman reclaimed the territory of France. It was a young Italian explorer who discovered the New World, and the thirty-two-year-old Thomas Jefferson who proclaimed that all men are created equal.
"These men moved the world, and so can we all. Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
"Few are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change. And I believe that in this generation those with the courage to enter the moral conflict will find themselves with companions in every corner of the globe.
"For the fortunate among us, there is the temptation to follow the easy and familiar paths of personal ambition and financial success so grandly spread before those who enjoy the privilege of education. But that is not the road history has marked out for us. Like it or not, we live in times of danger and uncertainty. But they are also more open to the creative energy of men than any other time in history. All of us will ultimately be judged and as the years pass we will surely judge ourselves, on the effort we have contributed to building a new world society and the extent to which our ideals and goals have shaped that effort.
"The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of new ideas and bold projects. Rather it will belong to those who can blend vision, reason and courage in a personal commitment to the ideals and great enterprises of American Society.
"Our future may lie beyond our vision, but it is not completely beyond our control. It is the shaping impulse of America that neither fate nor nature nor the irresistible tides of history, but the work of our own hands, matched to reason and principle, that will determine our destiny. There is pride in that, even arrogance, but there is also experience and truth. In any event, it is the only way we can live."
This is the way he lived. My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life, to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it.
Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today, pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will some day come to pass for all the world.
As he said many times, in many parts of this nation, to those he touched and who sought to touch him:
"Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not."

Calling All Amateur Astronomers: Help Solve a Mystery by Hadley Leggett
A super-bright star is gradually going dim, and scientists want YOU to help them find out why.
For nearly 200 years, astronomers have been wondering why the star epsilon Aurigae turns down its light once every 27 years. Based on careful observations of the star's periodic dimming, scientists believe that the supergiant star must have a mysterious companion that blocks its light periodically. But they still don't know what that companion is.
Epsilon Aurigae's next dip in brightness starts this fall, and telescope technology has come a long way since the star's last eclipse in 1982-84. This time, astronomers are also hoping they'll have the help of thousands of extra eyes: Starting today, a collaborative project called Citizen Sky is asking amateur astronomers to help solve the mystery of epsilon Aurigae.
"The star is too bright to be observed with the vast majority of professional telescopes," astronomer Arne Henden of the American Association of Variable Star Observers said in a press release, "so this is another area where public help is needed."
Because the star is so bright, even the most basic equipment — including the naked eye — can provide useful data. Normally the star can be seen from fall to spring in the Northern Hemisphere, even in urban areas with lots of light pollution. But beginning this fall, epsilon Aurigae is expected to gradually dim until it has lost half its light by early winter. The star will be dim during all of 2010 and then bounce back to its usual brightness by summer 2011.
Citizen Sky participants are being asked not just to collect data on the star's brightness, but also to join in on other aspects of the scientific process. A three-year grant from the National Science Foundation will provide funds to recruit and train a team of citizen scientists, who will be taught to analyze data, create and test their own hypotheses and even to write up their results.
Scientists are hoping observations of this year's eclipse will identify the star's curious companion, as as well resolve the mystery of a second perplexing object that appears to be headed for the star. "To make things even more fun, we also have some evidence of a substantial mass, perhaps a large planet, spiraling into the mysterious dark companion object," astronomer Robert Stencel of Denver University said in a press release. "Observations during the upcoming eclipse will be key to understanding this and predicting what will happen if the putative planet does eventually fall into the star."
Innocent Until Proven Guilty by Joe Hewitt
I'd like to add my voice to the stream of complaints about the iPhone App Store, but before I say anything critical, I have to promise one thing. No matter how annoyed I get, I will not stop developing for Apple's platforms or using Apple's products as long as they continue to produce the best stuff on the market. I never forget how deeply Apple cares about making their users happy, and that counts more than how they treat their developers. Besides, when I have a problem with a friend, I don't threaten to boycott our friendship until they change, so I'm not going to do that to Apple either.
Having said that, I have only one major complaint with the App Store, and I can state it quite simply: the review process needs to be eliminated completely.
Does that sound scary to you, imagining a world in which any developer can just publish an app to your little touch screen computer without Apple's saintly reviewers scrubbing it of all evil first? Well, it shouldn't, because there is this thing called the World Wide Web which already works that way, and it has served millions and millions of people quite well for a long time now.
Oh, but you say that iPhone apps are different, because they run native code and can do scary things that web pages can't? Again, you're wrong, because iPhone apps are sandboxed and have scarcely any more privileges than a web app. About the only scary thing they can do outside the sandbox is access your address book, but Apple can easily fix that by requiring they ask permission first, just like they must do to track your location.
The fact is this: Apple does not have the means to perform thorough quality assurance on any app. This is up to the developer. We have our own product managers and quality assurance testers, and we are liable to our users and the courts if we do anything evil or stupid. Apple may catch a few shallow bugs in the review process, but let's face it, the real things they are looking for are not bugs, but violations of the terms of service. This is all about lawyers, not quality, and it shows that the model of Apple's justice system is guilty until proven innocent. They don't trust us, and I resent that, because the vast majority of us are trustworthy.
I shouldn't have to argue for why it is better to assume people are innocent until proven guilty. There are plenty of successful platforms out there which free developers to publish anything, but punish them if they do something harmful. This allows developers to move fast, fix bugs immediately, get feedback from users at a very low cost. Any bug that Apple finds after their two week delay would have been found by users on day one, and fixed on day two. I'd rather have a bug in the wild for one day than have an app in the review queue for two weeks.
If you think that all apps should be held prisoner by Apple until proven safe, you should also be able to convince yourself that this is how the web should work. Perhaps I am just spoiled by my many years of web development. The next time I create a web app I will probably feel a little guilty when I upload the files to my web server, knowing that I didn't have to ask the web police to review the app first to make sure I wasn't evil.
(I should probably add the disclaimer that the opinions expressed here are my own, and not my employer's.)
Lobbying Group Whines, CENTCOM Scrubs Petraeus Jibe by David Axe
In a speech at the Marine Corps Association Foundation dinner in Virginia last month, Central Command boss Gen. David Petraeus broke the ice with an age-old bit of comedy, comparing the grimy plights of ground soldiers with the comparatively comfortable lives led by many Air Force aviators. But the jab sparked an angry protest — and some rushed damage-control by Petraeus' handlers.
"A soldier is trudging through the muck in the midst of a downpour with a 60-pound rucksack on his back," Petraeus' joke began:
'This is tough,' he thinks to himself. Just ahead of him trudges an Army Ranger with an 80-pound pack on his back. 'This is really tough,' he thinks. And ahead of him is a Marine with a 90-pound pack on, and he thinks to himself, 'I love how tough this is.' Then, of course, 30,000 feet above them … an Air Force pilot flips aside his ponytail. Now, I'm sorry — I don't know how that got in there. I know they haven't had ponytails in a year or two. And [he] looks down at them through his cockpit as he flies over. 'Boy,' he radios his wingman, 'it must be tough down there.'
Harmless, sure. But tell that to the Air Force Association, the old-school lobbying group that fought tooth and nail to preserve the F-22 fighter and staunchly represents traditional Air Force values. AFA was pissed. Petraeus' praising words for deployed airmen, elsewhere in his speech, "do not alleviate the offensiveness — and un-jointness — of his later comments," a new AFA editorial asserted. "They are symptomatic of the long-held belief of many ground commanders that air power is no longer, if it ever was, relevant."
In an apparent effort to head off a wider outcry, Central Command scrubbed the jab from its transcript of Petraeus' comments. You can see an unedited video of the speech here.
Personally, I think AFA is missing the joke's most politically charged implication. Petraeus said aviators haven't had ponytails in a "year or two." What happened a year ago? Secretary of Defense Robert Gates made a clean sweep of the Air Force, removing the air service's two top officials, and clearing the way for a wide range of reforms that have made the Air Force more relevant to today's ground wars.
Air Force Stalled for Years on New 'Light' Fighter by David Axe
In July, the Air Force launched a program to buy 100 small, inexpensive, "light" fighters for "strike, armed reconnaissance and advanced aircraft training in support of Irregular Warfare." The attack planes will be part of a new, counterinsurgency-optimized wing that can rapidly dial between bombing bad guys and training local pilots to defend their own countries. As Gen. Norton Schwartz, the air service's top officer, said in April, there is a "legitimate need" for lighter, smarter forces in the traditionally techy Air Force.
But the Air Force should have realized this, four years ago. From 2005 to 2007, there was a flood of papers and studies from the Air Force's academic institutions, advocating the adoption of light fighters and other forces for small wars. Air Force generals' myopic focus on the F-22 stealth fighter blinded them to the signs, emerging from within the air service, that smaller, cheaper planes were what we really needed.
The Air Force's delay in buying light fighters echoed the Army's and Marines' heel-dragging on adopting the blast-resistant MRAP trucks that have saved so many lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some front-line soldiers and Marines were begging for MRAPs as early as 2005. It took two years for the Pentagon to finally fund the tough trucks.
The Air Force's internal light-fighter advocacy seems to have begun with a December 2005 paper written by Maj. Arthur Davis, a student at the Air Command and Staff College in Alabama. Davis' paper, "Back to the Basics: An Aviation Solution to Counter-insurgent Warfare," examined "past examples of the use of air power in counterinsurgent warfare" in order to shed light "on the United States' current failings in both equipment and doctrine as it wages this type of war."
In short order, several officers followed up on Davis' paper. Maj. Brett Blake found today's "F-15Es and F-16s … simply not cost effective" for current wars. David Peeler, now a lieutenant colonel, examined which light fighters might be most effective and affordable, and compared their price and performance to the A-10 close-air-support jet. Maj. Max Weems chided the Air Force for its "nasty habit of forgetting the hard-learned lessons of irregular operations."
Despite the growing body of research and advocacy, the Air Force brass all but ignored the need for a light fighter. "Given the Air Force's pre-occupation with procurement of the F-22A advanced fighter aircraft, little attention is placed on obtaining a platform with specifications aimed at counterinsurgency operations," Peeler wrote.
But then came Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. Last year, Gates fired the officials who were the F-22's biggest supporters, ended the F-22 buy at 187 copies, and freed up nearly a billion dollars for new counterinsurgency planes. In short, Gates finally acknowledged what mid-ranking Air Force officers had known for years: that the air service needed to think and act differently to win today's wars.
Iran's Cynicism in the Face of Terrorism by Douglas Farah
One of the clearest signs of the danger that the Iranian presence poses in Latin America is the decision by president Ahmadinejad to name one of the masterminds of the 1994 AMIA bombings as minister of defense.
Ahamd Vahidi, who at the time of the bombing was the head of the Quds Force, is the subject of an Interpol Red Notice, asking for his arrest for his part in the worst terrorist attack in Latin America. He was deputy defense minister in Ahmadinejad's first government, and is now being promoted. Seven other senior Iranian officials are subject of Interpol Red Notices as well.
Alberto Nisman, the Argentine prosecutor who has spent years investigating the case (and presenting enough evidence to Interpol to get the Red Notice issued), called Vahidi "a key participant in the planning and of having made the decision to go ahead with the attack."
"It has been demonstrated that Vahidi participated in and approved of the decision to attack AMIA during a meeting in Iran on August 14, 1993. Iran has always protected terrorists, giving them government posts, but I think never one as high as this one," Nisman told the Associated Press.
Given Iran's rapidly-expanding and largely opaque diplomatic presence in Latin America and the history of Iranian diplomatic missions in housing Quds Force special operatives and Hezbollah, this is a bad sign indeed.
With a large and unmonitored diplomatic presence in Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua, Iran has positioned itself for spreading mischief throughout the region. It is not happenstance that these resources are being spent in a continent where Iran has historically had no presence, no cultural affinity and no strategic interests.
What it does have is a marketable expertise in asymmetrical warfare, intelligence gathering and terrorism, and a shared hatred for the United States with Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales and Daniel Ortega.
And crossing Iran can be dangerous.
Argentina's crime, in the eyes of Iran at the time, was to refuse to cut off the transfer of nuclear technology to Iran. The result was Iranian retaliation.
For a fascinating look at the relationship between Iran and Hezbollah, see this fascinating translation of two statements, one by Hezbollah and one by a senior Iranian official, of their mutual dependence and structure.
As one can read, Naim Qassem, Hezbollah's deputy commander, says "the Imam Khamenei (Iran's highest authority) is the one who "decides general guidelines for us, which free us from blame and give us legitimacy."
So it was in the AMIA bombings. The Iranian leadership (including Vahidi) decided on the action, and franchised out the actual execution to Hezbollah, with the resulting 85 people dead.
Ahmadinejad's willingness to spend precious political capital internally and externally by naming Vahidi to a highly public post shows how important it is for his regime to keep their ability to execute state terrorism operational at a very high level. (He has dismissed protests of Vahidi's naming to the cabinet as part of "a Zionist plot).
This is not an accidental nomination, but one that should set off alarm bells across Latin America.
In Spite of WTF Moments, Life…….
As stated by Albert Schweitzer, life is about:
As such, I thank God, country, family, blood brothers, and those with similar hopes, dreams, goals, and objectives for their support and assistance with my life. For also allowing me the ability to offer counterintelligence and counter-terrorism analysis and consulting. For also allowing me to pursue as a hobby the creation of analysis application that would utilize iPhone 3.1 Platforms and Web 2.0 to 3.0 Platforms (analysis application would be able to harness computer modeling and intelligence analysis to help intelligence analyst investigate threats and changes in any environment.)

Horrible and Frustrating Expierence
by Merry79 , 03/20/2013
I was never even able to make an appointment!! First of all I left two messages with DR Kantorowski's secretary over the course of two weeks trying to make an appointment and never heard anything back. Then when I called to make a general appointment The woman was nice but had to transfer me to the finance department because she was not familiar with the Tricare's Point of service option where a patient can see any provider in the network without a referral as long as they pay half the allowable amount. I was okay with that but the people in the finance office were both ignorant and unhelpful. Okay if they are not familiar with it either but I am and I explained it to two different people twice and told them that if they simply went to the Tricare website all the information they needed was there. They then found some book and said that POS was not offered to active duty military (which I am not) at that point I became so frustrated by their lack of basic intelligence I had to hang up. I was even willing to pay completely out of pocket and submit the forms myself but was informed that would be too expensive. I was so looking forward to seeing one of the wonderful doctors its a shame the office staff is so incompetent. It doesn't bode well for what my experience would have been if I had ended up going. On a side note although the tone of this review is quite angry I was very patient and kind on the phone and didn't lose my temper until the very end. Also I wrote a complaint to them as well and never heard back.

Harbinger Down: new trailer
Lance Henriksen stars in the practical effects-led sci-fi horror, Harbinger Down. The new trailer's here...
The rapid evolution of CGI means that traditional practical effects are becoming an increasingly rare sight in mainstream movies. A recent case in point: The Thing. Where John Carpenter's 1982 film was a showcase for Rob Bottin's extraordinary practical effects (with a few moments arriving courtesy of Stan Winston), the 2011 prequel was dominated largely by CGI.
In reality, the FX team Amalgamated Dynamics - previously responsible for the effects in such films as Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection, to name but two - had created a range of icky practical creatures for The Thing 2011, only to have studio executives decide to overlay their work with CGI at the 11th hour.
Understandably disheartened by this, Amalgamated Dynamics decided to make their own science fiction horror film, which could finally show off their talent for creating practical monster effects. The result is Harbinger Down, a movie project that received $384,000 in pledges on Kickstarter last year. Starring Lance Henriksen, it's a creature feature very much in the vein of The Thing: there's ice, a group of increasingly anxious characters, and a hideous, shape-shifting creature.
There's no word on a release date yet, but as the trailer below suggests, some more details should be thawing very soon.
