The study of intracranial aneurysms has come a long way in the 33 years since Sir Charles Symonds brought together our knowledge of the subject in 1923.1,2 The relationship between subarachnoid hemorrhage and rupture of aneurysms has been established,3-6 statistics have been gathered on the frequency of aneurysms on various parts of the circle of Willis and arterial supply of the brain,7 diagnostic procedures are well worked out,8-10 the efficacy of various surgical treatments are being compared,11-15 and the relative value of surgical versus conservative therapy is being determined, although the latter point is by no means settled.16-22 Clinical syndromes associated with aneurysms in various locations are being elucidated, as far as this is possible.23,24,36However, there are relatively few studies on the actual consequences of the rupture of the aneurysm in fatal cases. Recently Robertson26 has reviewed the pathologic findings in 97 ruptured aneurysms,12 of which

Close to perfect
In much the same way that other games streamline the Rogue-like experience through limited actions, or match-three symbols/gems, Deep Deep Dungeon streamlines the action dungeon crawl down to the combat phase. It's hours of fun, with it's twitch-based battles. If there were even a slightly greater ability to customize one's character, this would be perfect. But it's darn close.
Fun and simple
It's a progression game with just tapping to stop a sliding bar at a specific time. Very repetitive so know what it is before you buy it. I find it very entertaining though and would recommend it if your interested.
Awesome Game
This game is great! It's actually addictive, unlike some other games on the top charts. I was only going to give it 4 stars because it doesn't have iPad support, but with that eagles reference in the description, you deserve a 5

Where's the outrage?
Where is the nationwide news media's outrage over the "for fun" murder of the white Australian by the three young black men? Is it OK to kill a white person? This is a double standard for the media it seems. The explosive, sometimes opinion, in the Martin case served to drive a wedge between races and was wrong.
Paid meal
We want to thank the older couple who paid for our meal at Golden Corral on Wednesday. It was very nice of you and it was greatly appreciated.
By law
By law Aiken County has to reappraise properties every 5 years. Most of the time citizens do see an increase in their property values, however it is not because of the city raising taxes; as a matter of fact, the city has reduced the city millage rate at least 3 times in recent years.
I have never seen or heard of any project that the leaders and citizens took on that did not succeed. It will be a success because they will support it. It will be clean, safe and fun because that's the way it is in North Augusta.
Stray kitten
I'd like to thank the Aiken County Animal Shelter for coming quickly to pick up the stray kitten someone dropped off in my yard.
On the ballot
Project Jackson should be put on the ballot so all of Aiken County can decide on it.
Build more
Why don't companies build more on the Westside so we don't have to travel to the Southside.
Cut the bushes at Union and Richland. There has been an accident.
A raise
The Aiken should be ashamed about looking at ways to spend money that don't include giving our police officers a raise. They should receive a 10 percent increase. Something should be done about that.
The public
When was the last time County Council cared about what the public thinks? The public hearing and public input all say we shouldn't give our money to a private entity. The school board held public hearings and look what happened.
An overpass
An overpass should be built over Hitchcock Parkway so people can't build things along it and it could be a true bypass like it was originally planned to be.

The lights dim, and after the usual litany of company banners, a camera sweeps over a gorgeous, mountainous landscape. The viewer is immediately thrust into a world that's not metropolitan; this is the look of a nearly untouched terrain of trees. In voiceover, a young girl outlines the particular details of this setting and story before we're greeted by her younger self and her best boy friend. Together, they fling-fall themselves into the grass of a lush, flower-ridden meadow. They're bound by the hunt, but just bunnies, not the werewolves who lurk nearby.
Mix in a few more ingredients like sparkly vampires and melancholy lethargy and this would be the world of 'The Twilight Saga.' But it's not -- it's Catherine Hardwicke's latest, 'Red Riding Hood.'
Though it's no surprise that the filmmaker decided to offer up another bite of teen fare -- her entire directorial resume rests on the trials and tribulations of the young -- it was a twist when news hit that the filmmaker was choosing another overtly supernatural romance. Hardwicke had given up the chance to helm 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon,' but obviously, it wasn't because of the werewolves -- she was ready to dance with a more vicious version of full-moon horror.
The move led to a pressing question: Would Hardwicke learn from her experiences? Would 'Red Riding Hood' improve upon the faults of 'Twilight,' after the filmmaker earned the best opening weekend for a female director, ever?
The answer: Not exactly.
Though many might knock her directorial style, there are certain aspects of filmmaking that Catherine Hardwicke handles beautifully. Unlike the men who took over her 'Twilight' shoes, she understood just how to treat her landscape, overtly relishing the forest-ridden Washington backdrop that initially drew Meyer in. The director made this wet, dreary locale as much a character as the humans and vampires. The rigidly blue hue of the film not only served as a metaphor for Bella's mindset, but also the cold, pale skin of the Cullens and the rainy world of Forks. But even more importantly, her love of adolescent angst shone through the clouds.
Every time Hardwicke talks about her films, her exuberance over teen fare bubbles forth. Attending a Toronto pre-screening for 'Red Riding Hood,' the director gushed about the energy that comes with youth, and how she read 'Twilight' and wanted "to feel what it's like to just be madly in love with somebody." She continued, "I love that feeling where everything is so important." Like 'Twilight,' she had make-out auditions for her
That said, 'Twilight' had its faults -- the foremost of which is the merging of CG and real life. Edward evoked memories of Wile E. Coyote chasing the Roadrunner when he picked Bella up and ran through the woods with her. One could only begin to imagine what would happen when werewolves entered the picture. (A notion that had many convinced that she was fired from installment number two.)
Funnily enough, the werewolf moments aren't so bad in 'Red Riding Hood.' And, though the film starts off like a montage from 'The Twilight Saga,' that's not the issue either. The film's problem is a bit bigger than shoddy CGI: as a whole, it suffers from an identity crisis. The film plays like a wonderfully and ridiculously bad B-movie most of the time, almost as if Hardwicke wanted to reveal a sense of humor about supernatural romance. But sadly, this wasn't the intent. The director meant this to be the darker, scarier 'Twilight' -- real blood and gore replacing the ice and sparkles, while still maintaining its young audience.
For every earnest actor in the piece, two or three more seem to be relishing the ridiculousness, stretching the believability and delivery of their characters to the extreme. Gary Oldman taps spiky, silver nails with little ado, folks make jokey references of the fairy tale's classic lines and two gals even get to do sexy retro folk dancing. Julie Christie thrives as the grandmother, but in part because she doesn't take it too seriously. She knows this isn't 'Away From Her.'
Instead of a brazen bull, Hardwicke created a torturous elephant. When her characters get serious, the audience bellows with laughter. But worst of all, the film doesn't boast a real, lush landscape to house the over-the-top werewolf woe.
'Red Riding Hood' was filmed on a sound stage, one small enough to feel continually suffocating. When the townsfolk disperse, they walk mere steps away, like a walled version of the bare-bones, chalk-outlined setup from 'Dogville.' The setting is like a caged wolf bashing its head against the bars to be let free, always aware that it has but an inch or two of leeway. Mix that with CGI that never looks real, and there's no way to have a robust, larger-than-life story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. And without mindfully playing up the camp, the pitfalls of the production come off poorly, rather than the intended tongue-in-cheek.
Oh, if only they were intended. Girls could relish in the romance that made 'Twilight' a rabid hit, while also having a good laugh at the silliness inherent in heaving bosoms and way-too-serious declarations of love. It could be a modern 'The Evil Dead' for teen romance. As it is, however, 'Red Riding Hood' can only offer up flawed supernatural love destined to inspire a drinking game or two.
One can only hope these shackles don't taint the work of Shakespeare when Hardwicke takes on 'Hamlet,' but even that project seems like a more-of-the-same placeholder until 'Freeheld,' where she finally digs into her first adult drama to tell the true story of Laurel Hester. It's time for Hardwicke to break into new territory.

FIVE-ALARM HEAT . . . On Sunday, top Maui chefs went wok to wok against the Maui Fire Department at the Maui Fair in the eighth annual Chili Cook-off. Even though I've "bean there, done it," I was honored to appear as a judge again as the tastes are always so soul satisfying.
Winning in the Traditional Category were chefs Chris Schobel and Ryan Luckey of Hula Grill, who heated things up with their incendiary Hula Habanero entry. The duo won a $300 prize, but promptly gave it back to the Shriners Hospital, the event beneficiary.
Chefs from the Grand Wailea won in two categories. Ty Sagayaga won for Freestyle Category for his Body by Chili and John Morales for his Vegetarian Chili. An interesting note is that the two vegetarian entries garnered the most points overall.

The People's Choice Award went hands down to Lahaina Firefighters B Watch. Team leader Shawn Rogers along with Matthew Mann, John Devlin and Kamuela Guth won over the crowd with their Freestyle chili topped with avocado, sour cream and cilantro sprigs.
KAOI Radio personality Cindy Paulos did an excellent job as emcee again and even told the crowd about Chasen's Famous Chili Recipe. Apparently, the former LA restaurant shipped it around the world to movie sets for Liz Taylor and even declined to give up the recipe to First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt back in the day.
Another Chili Cook-off judge, Chris Speere of the Maui Culinary Academy, told me Noble Chef, MCA's biggest fund raiser of the year, is already sold out -before they even mailed out the invitations! But you can still support the college program - just go to the mauinews.com website and click on my "Noble Chef" blog and read how easy it is to do it.

Executive Chef Sheldon Simeon of Ho Aloha, the parent company of Star Noodle, Leoda's Kitchen & Pie Shop and Aloha Mixed Plate, was in the chili crowd, pushing a double stroller with two sleeping keiki. I asked him if it was true if he'll appear on "Top Chef" this fall, but he was tight lipped about it, as he should be.
But rumor has it he will appear on the Bravo Network show starting Nov. 7 and the episodes will continue through the new year. In addition, Simeon's employer, Ho Aloha, will be a big supporter for the Lahaina Plantation Days coming up Oct. 18 to 20. The three-day event will be held at the old Pioneer Mill site near the historic smokestack on Lahainaluna Road. Enjoy food from 20 booths, the beer and wine garden, coffee tent, game booths, horse rides, island music and much more.

The Montreal Canadiens will start Dustin Tokarski in goal for Game 3 against the New York Rangers on Thursday night.
Canadiens coach Michel Therrien announced the move after Wednesday's practice session in Brossard.
Tokarski, who hadn't played in a month, was given the Game 2 assignment over veteran backup Peter Budaj, following an injury to starter Carey Price in the previous game.
Tokarski stopped 27 of 30 shots as Montreal lost at home to the Rangers to go down 2-0 in the series.
Price is not expected back for the duration of the Eastern Conference final after getting injured in a Game 1 collision with Rangers forward Chris Kreider.
Meanwhile, embattled Habs forward Thomas Vanek found himself on the fourth line at Wednesday's practice.
Vanek skated with centre Daniel Briere and right-winger Brandon Prust, a unit that usually gets limited ice time.
He had been skating with centre Tomas Plekanec, who now has Alex Galchenyuk and Brian Gionta on his wings.
Vanek has taken heat from fans and media for listless play as the Canadiens fell behind 2-0 in the best-of-seven series.
The Canadiens were to leave in the afternoon for New York.

Want to have some fun with The Hangover Part III, a pallid has-been of a sequel hatched for the sole reason of lining bank accounts? Try figuring out which principal is most palpably uninterested in the whole affair.
Candidates include Bradley Cooper, who smiles and nods through all 100 minutes without a trace of the arrogant zest he brought to the first movie (before he became a hot commodity). And of course Todd Phillips, the director and co-writer most responsible for the movie's amorphous, derivative mirth.
But with any luck the answer will be you, fair viewer. Because if you refuse to lap up the leftover laughs, if you show the apathy to help put this wheezing franchise out of its misery, then you'll be doing future summer comedy slates a wolf-pack-worthy solid.
Remember how fresh the first Hangover felt, how out of left field and brazenly ribald? It was like an inspired frat boy prank, a comedy of horrors that opened its arms to anyone who ever had a rough weekend with friends in Vegas. It was also a coming-out party of sorts for Zach Galifianakis, playing a stunted, bearded man-child with maniacal timing, and Ken Jeong, poking Asian stereotypes with a sharp stick as the whacked-out gangster Mr. Chow.
Those guys aren't secret weapons anymore. In fact, they're asked to carry the bulk of Part III's dead weight. Absorbing Part II's lesson that it's not OK to make the exact same movie in a different locale and with a pet monkey, this one weaves a hodgepodge tale involving a brand new heavy (John Goodman) once ripped off by Mr. Chow. Like James Brown, he wants the big payback. So instead of their usual routine — forgetting where they left a friend, suffering the mutilation of body and brain cells — the boys are forced to chase down Chow or risk losing their milquetoast friend Doug (Justin Bartha).
To sum up: Blah, blah, blah.
You'll be hard-pressed to find a more cynically manufactured movie exercise this year. The Hangover Part III delivers the occasional 30-second spasm of laughter (my favorite: Mr. Chow deadpanning his way through Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" at karaoke). The symbiotic relationship between Galifianakis' Alan and Cooper's Phil is still good for a few chuckles.
But most of the movie is beset by laziness verging on rigor mortis. Many scenes are now set up for the mere sight of Galifianakis to make us laugh. He's funny, but not that funny.
The Hangover caught comedy lightning in a bottle. Unfortunately that's not enough for the industry. The bottle must be placed in a factory, where similar but less sturdy knockoff bottles are churned out until the market demands no more. The returns diminish until they mercifully vanish altogether.
A lot of hangovers hit after you have one too many. This one is now two over the limit — and counting.

WARREN - A federal bankruptcy court judge on Friday approved the sale of Warren-based First Place Bank to Michigan-based Talmer Bancorp.
Talmer Chief Financial Officer Dennis Klaeser said he believes there is little likelihood the transfer would not receive federal regulatory approval, the next step in finalizing the deal. He expects that process to occur by the end of the year.
The sale was approved in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware after Talmer emerged as the only qualified bidder for the bank, which is the main asset of First Place Financial Corp.
Talmer bid $45 million and said it would infuse more than $200 million in capital to move the company out of bankruptcy. Talmer also promised to cover First Place's debt in the amount of $60 million.
''We will infuse the additional capital and help refocus the company and get it back on track,'' Klaeser said Friday. ''The bank will be very focused on reaching out to the community, lending to small businesses and families.''
Public trading of shares of First Place Financial Corp., First Place Bank's parent company, will continue. Talmer Bancorp. is not publicly traded, but Klaeser noted that could change in the future.
''There's no specific plans at this point. It's a possibility that we would be publicly traded in the future,'' Klaeser said.
For now though, Talmer's private shares are controlled by investors that include billionaire Wilbur Ross of W.L. Ross & Co., who owns more than 20 percent of the bank's shares, Klaeser said.
Sam Roth, chairman for First Place Financial Corp., said Friday that the future of First Place Financial Corp. shares, now being traded in over-the-counter markets as FPFCQ, will be dependent on the bankruptcy court proceedings. He declined to speculate further.
First Place Financial Corp. stock rose 1 cent Friday to close at 2 cents per share.
Roth expressed his pleasure with the bank sale approval, and noted that earlier objections raised by a committee appointed to oversee the due process were overcome and the matter resolved.
''They were very satisfied and very positive about the sale going through,'' Roth said.
Going forward, Talmer officials say they will maintain the First Place Bank name and retain most local employees.
''Customers really should not expect to see significant changes,'' Klaeser said. ''We are going to be keeping the name of the company First Place Bank. There should not be any significant changes in the employee base. They will continue to see the same friendly people that they saw at the bank.''

Don't expect fireworks in the aftermath of the split between Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
"It's kind of easy to stay friends," Smirnoff told PEOPLE at the Pink Party to benefit the Cedars-Sinai Women's Cancer Research Institute in Santa Monica over the weekend. "We were friends for 14 years, before anything else. It will always remain this way. It's not difficult. We both think the world of each other."
Smirnoff, 31, and Chmerkovskiy, 29, both pro dancers on Dancing with the Stars, announced last week that they had broken up after being engaged for about eight months.
But she seems to be adjusting to the single life more easily than her former beau. "There are a lot of events, and a lot of opportunities where you have to go solo," she says. "It's interesting because I know there are a lot of people in the room I want to meet and interact with."
As for Maks she adds: "Nothing has changed. Everything is great."
Still, Smirnoff admits that their performance together at the Emmy Awards ceremony on Sunday is making her anxious. "Very nervous, very excited – it is a routine we're going to perform together," Smirnoff says. "It's going to be great. It's young, it's fun, it's energetic. It's got some crazy moves. So, it will be nice."
After that, her primary dancing partner will be former boy-band musician Aaron Carter.
"He's in really good shape," Smirnoff says. "I'm like, 'Okay, you're 21, I'm not. I'm going to break.' "

Yes, we all love to chat about knitting, and have our own favorite stories about our favorite obsession. Now Knitting Out Loud is looking for contributions for a new "Stories" feature they've just added to their Web site.
They've posted the first one, a zany tale about a rooster with a frost-bitten comb who gets a tiny hat. "A friend of mine heard a story of a knitted rooster hat," said Knitting Out Loud publisher Kathy Goldner. They tracked down rooster owner Martha Giancola, and she sent along the story along with a couple of cute photos of aforementioned chicken and headgear (one with Santa!). They put it on the Web site, then heard another good anecdote, so decided to make "Stories" a regular feature.
They're on the lookout for "interesting, happy, sad, weird or thoughtful knitting stories"; they plan to publish a new one on the site each month.
Knitting stories and jpegs may be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com for consideration.
Knitting Out Loud is an audiobook company that publishes recordings of knitting literature. Recent releases include "America Knits" by Melanie Falick;"The Art of Fair Isle Knitting" by Ann Feitelson; "A History of Hand Knitting" by Richard Rutt; and "Stitch 'n Bitch" by Debbie Stoller. Coming out next is "No Idle Hands" by Anne L. Macdonald.

The short answer is that if you have to ask how to do this, forget about
A longer answer is to try if you can get garnome going,
Or pehaps better, upgrade to Fedora Core 2.

Tiger Having Fun in Masters
Tiger Woods is enjoying his first tournament back in 144 days. It certainly doesn't hurt that he's in contention in the 2010 Masters, having shot a 2-under 70 and being only four back of leader Lee Westwood heading into Sunday.
The response he's gotten from the crowd has been, for the most part, stellar, despite concerns that he would have a less-than-good reception following revelations of his marital improprieties.
He's not putting as well as he'd like on Augusta National's lightning-fast greens, and he's struggled with his swing at times but, for a player that's been out of competition since last November, Woods is acquitting himself well in a major championship he's won four times.
Here's what Tiger had to say about his experience to reporters after his round Saturday.
Q. You got off to a great start and then you seemed to fight it a little bit for a while.
TIGER WOODS: I was fighting it all day. My warm-up wasn't very good. I was struggling there. I really struggled with the pace of the greens and fighting my swing. It was a tough day.
Q. Five months without any competitive round. What were your concerns coming in, and how have you done with those concerns?
TIGER WOODS: I just wanted to put myself in contention, and I did that. As of right now I'm only four back, so good round tomorrow, you never know.
Q. Does it feel normal to you out there now?
TIGER WOODS: Well, three-putting three times, no, it does not feel normal. I need to putt better than that. But overall I feel pretty good out there. I just need to clean up my round.
Q. How important was the birdie at the last, and what is your strategy tomorrow, anything different?
TIGER WOODS: It was nice. After struggling just to fight back in the ballgame -- the guys were running away from me there; at one point I was seven back, so to kind of claw my way back in there where I'm only four back right now, I'm in good shape.
Q. When you're hearing all those roars, is that disconcerting for you? What's going on? Do you lose your perspective for a little while?
TIGER WOODS: No, I mean, we have a long way to go. This is only Saturday. If it was Sunday, it would have been a different story. But being Saturday, I had the same opportunity on those same holes to make birdies, and I did that. Unfortunately I made a bunch of bogeys out there today, as well.
Q. Interesting day out there today, good finish but an interesting day.
TIGER WOODS: 16 pars, two birdies, hit every fairway, hit every green. (Laughter.)
Q. A little frustrating at times?
TIGER WOODS: Yeah, it was. I didn't have the speed on the greens at all. I was fighting that, I was fighting my swing, fighting the speed. I fought as hard as I possibly could to get myself back in the ballgame. At one point I was seven back, and to fight back there and to get it where I'm only four back right now was a pretty big accomplishment.
Q. There was a lot of roars out there. Do you get caught up in that while you're playing? Can you feed off of that at all?
TIGER WOODS: Well, I have the same opportunity to play the same holes. 13 is a tough eagle, but Phil made one there. 14 you definitely could see one going in there. That's a perfect little feeder. And then I'm surprised more guys didn't make eagle on 15; that's a pretty accessible pin. I think Fred made one there, as well. It's one of those things where you've got two reachable par-5s. They put the tees up, too, on 15, which was nice. Again, the pins were probably a step, step and a half easier than they normally are, and that makes a big difference.
Q. You have a chance to come from behind on the fourth day. Is that something that you need to do, do you think, to show somebody that you can do that in a major? Is that important to you?
TIGER WOODS: It's important if I do it tomorrow, yeah. I have to; I'm not leading the tournament.
Q. Any thoughts on why it was hard work for you today?
TIGER WOODS: I warmed up terrible today. I didn't have control of the ball when I was warming up. I was fighting it then. The speed on the greens was fine when I was warming up. I got on the golf course and made two quick birdies. But after that, I fought it all day.
Q. Do you have an idea of what it is that you need to go fix?
TIGER WOODS: Yeah, I do, swing-wise. Putting stroke-wise, no, not really. I'll have to do some work. We have plenty of light.
Q. You mentioned that you were going to try to tone down the outbursts. Any regrets about some of the cursing on the front nine?
TIGER WOODS: Did I?
Q. Two separate times.
TIGER WOODS: If I did, then I'm sorry.
Q. How long was that putt? I mean, we're stuck back here and we couldn't see anything.
TIGER WOODS: Today was about three and a half feet.
Q. What did you hit in?
TIGER WOODS: 6-iron.
Q. Making birdies at 1 and 3, did you feel like you were building something there?
TIGER WOODS: I played 1 well. 3, I did not. 3, I hit in the tree, it came out, hit a terrible pitch, and the putt was too hard. But it was a birdie. It's just not exactly the best way to start. I struggled on 2, drove it in the bunker there, wasn't a very good drive, and third shot kind of stuck in the ground. Didn't hit a lot of good shots starting out.
Q. (Inaudible.)
TIGER WOODS: Then I hit a pulled 5-wood. I was trying to miss it left so I had an uphill putt, but I overdid it. And then 5, I toe-popped it up in the air, so it was just a struggle.
Q. Did you feel like you might have a day like today?
TIGER WOODS: Normally you're not going to have four great days. I've played golf long enough where I've never had four great rounds in a row. One day is always going to be your off day, and on your off day if you can keep it under par it's always a good sign, and I did that today.
Q. You said you wanted to give yourself a chance coming in. You're here.
TIGER WOODS: Yeah, I'm four back, so I've got a good shot.
Q. When you're trying to control your emotions like you say you are, is it more difficult to do that when you're having a day with seven birdies and five bogeys?
TIGER WOODS: And a two-way miss and three-putting every other hole, yeah.
Q. So it was difficult?
TIGER WOODS: It's never easy.
Q. The approach on 15, when you hit it -
TIGER WOODS: I thought it was perfect. It was downwind and then it became really downwind. I had 229 to the hole, and I hit 5-iron over the back. I don't hit a 5-iron that far. I was expecting a 5-iron to run from the front to the flag about midway through, because that's the way I hit it, and it just stayed and floated in the air. It was just -- caught the wrong gust at the wrong time. 17, I hit a terrible tee shot, played a hook in there to give myself an easy pitch, pitched it in there and blocked the putt.
Q. When you're so caught up in your game, do you pay any attention to some of the other names like Freddie and Watson? There's a lot going on.
TIGER WOODS: There is a lot going on. I'm four back, yeah.
Q. How is the mental focus?
TIGER WOODS: It's fine. That's never a problem.
Q. Playing three days in a row isn't getting -
TIGER WOODS: It's not a problem.
Q. How is Choi as a playing partner?
TIGER WOODS: He's great. I've played with him a lot over the years. K.J. is just -- he's a great guy, and on top of that he's learned a lot of English. Our conversations are getting a little bit longer now.
Q. Do the crowds mean more than ever before?
TIGER WOODS: Absolutely. After what's transpired, to have that support out there is fantastic.

As the week wound down, Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT ) claimed a pair of contract wins from the Pentagon, worth more than $17.1 million combined.
The smaller award, for $7.2 million, came Thursday and called on Lockheed's Information Systems and Global Services division to do software development work in support of the Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System. TTWCS is described as a system for computing Tomahawk cruise missiles' routes to their strike targets. The system can input new missions on-site and, once missiles are launched, can communicate with multiple Tomahawks to rapidly retarget and redirect the missiles in flight.
Lockheed's second award, issued Friday, concerns a different weapons system, the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, or JASSM. Lockheed's Missiles and Fire Control division has been awarded $9.9 million in a delivery order against a previously issued basic ordering agreement to supply the U.S. Air Force with JASSM Common Unique Planning Component software. This contract should be complete by June 25, 2015.

intrinsic,primitive types
When initializing non-static data members of built-in / intrinsic / primitive types, should I use the "initialization list" or assignment.....????
Re: intrinsic,primitive types
These days it does not make much of a difference because PC are more than what the benefit it gives for initialization list and assignments.
At least from practicality point of view I prefer assignments because it makes code cleaner and I don't have to think more when I edit the class with new data members.
Re: intrinsic,primitive types
Re: intrinsic,primitive types
I agree but as the thread is in C-C++ forum its expected not to be in that language but yes its not impossible.
Re: intrinsic,primitive types
But I am talking in same langauges C++ only but i mean processorlike MPC,i960 etc for embedded software. It's not like core dual, p4 etc.
You are absolutely right

Why the fourth?From the National Archives transcription of the original document:
Though the Fourth of July is iconic to Americans, some claim the date itself is somewhat arbitrary. New Englanders had been fighting Britain since April 1775. The first motion in the Continental Congress for independence was made on June 4, 1776. After hard debate, the Congress voted unanimously, but secretly, for independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain on July 2 (see Lee Resolution). The Congress reworked the text of the Declaration until a little after eleven o'clock, July 4, when the twelve colonies voted for adoption and released a copy signed only by John Hancock, President of the Congress, to the printers. (The New York delegation abstained from both votes.) Philadelphia celebrated the Declaration with public readings and bonfires on July 8. Not until August 2 would a fair printing be signed by the members of the Congress, but even that was kept secret to protect the members from British reprisals.
John Adams, credited by Thomas Jefferson as the unofficial, tireless whip of the independence-minded, wrote to his wife Abigail on July 3, 1776:
The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.
Adams was off by two days, however. Certainly, the vote on July 2 was the decisive act. But July 4, 1776 is the date on the Declaration itself. Jefferson's stirring prose, as edited by the Congress, was first adopted by the July 4th vote. It was also the first day Philadelphians heard the official news of independence from the Continental Congress, as opposed to rumors in the street about secret votes.
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.You can read the whole thing at the Declaration of Independence website of the National Archives.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

For the past few weeks, I traded in my bar soap, my household cleaner and even my dishwasher detergent for some green, more eco-friendly products; and let me tell you, I couldn't be more pleased.
Ecostore.com will be coming to Meijer stores in the Midwest this spring and while I don't have a Meijer store near me, I know many people do and having more green products to choose from is sure to make a difference for a lot of families.
ecostore USA (www.ecostore USA.com) loves making a difference in people's lives. We are passionate about improving the planet and bringing you everyday household products that are safer and healthier for you and your family. Originating in 1993 as a New Zealand-based manufacturer, wholesale distributor and retailer of sustainable household and personal care products, ecostore USA offers plant-based cleaning products as well as body and baby care products. The guiding principle of our formulations is that the end product must not only be good for the planet, but must also be good for the user. Individual health issues are at the forefront of product development. The Fairground Foundation is a charitable organization created by ecostore to promote sustainability through on-the-ground action.ecostore USA has formulated its products without toxic petrochemicals, phosphates, nitrates, chlorine, ammonia, enzymes, synthetic perfumes, coloring or dyes, optical whiteners/brighteners or chemical preservatives. Instead, ecostore USA uses sustainable ingredients derived from plants and minerals, producing safer products that work equally as effectively as those that are chemical-based. Customers anecdotally have reported that, after using ecostore USA laundry products to wash clothes and linens, children's eczema and dermatitis have disappeared, while allergies and asthma symptoms have decreased.ecostore USA guarantees its products:• are plant- and/or mineral-based and free of nasty chemicals (No Nasty ChemicalsTM)• use safer ingredients from renewable resources • are formulated with your health in mind• are safely super-concentrated• meet the highest environmental standards• have not been tested on animals• are GE free (free of genetically-engineered products)• are packaged in recyclable packaging
The great people at Ecostoreusa.com were kind enough to let me choose the three products I'd most like to review. It took me awhile to decide because there were a number of products I'd like to try.
I finally decided on the Auto Dish Powder, the Lemongrass Soap, and the Citrus Spray Cleaner as I thought these would work the best for my family right now, that and this was the first time I'd really TRIED an eco-friendly product so I was skeptical. Can they really be as good as my regular cleaning and health care products?
The resounding answer to that was Yes!
While I loved all the products I selected, the Auto Dish Powder was my favorite. We live in a rural area and so we have well water and therefore we deal with hard water. I had all but given up on using my dishwasher. No dishwasher detergent has been able to get the dishes clean enough without residue left behind from the detergernt and the hard water has left me feeling irritated and frustrated with my dishwasher. I figured that it would perform just like other brands and I'd be back to dishpan hands in no time. I couldn't have been more wrong.
I ran the dishwasher on empty first with only the Auto Dish Powder and when I opened the dishwasher after a normal cycle, I almost fell over. I know I cried. The Ecostore USA dish powder actually cleaned out my dishwasher. It had been ages since it looked so good inside. Still skeptical I ran a load of dishes to see what happened.
No residue, no film, and no bits of food. Everything washed and rinsed clean – I can safely stop washing dishes by hand!
The Lemongrass soap held up to my gang of dirty kids. It has a pleasant scent that isn't overpowering and my daughter has taken to using it all! It was defnitely a hit with the hubs too.
As for the Citrus Spray Cleaner; because I hate to clean, each of my kids have chores and one of those is cleaning the bathroom. So I am always looking for cleaning products that are safe for the kids to use when they are wiping down counters, faucets, sinks and mirrors. I don't want anything with overpowering scents or anything that's harmful or contains harsh chemicals. The Citrus Spray Cleaner has been an answer to my prayers and the bathroom looks great!
I'll be the first to admit that I'm no domestic diva and I'd rather spend my money on anything but cleaning supplies, but I've enjoyed using these products. It's wonderful to pay for the actual product and not the packaging. I also love that the box that everything came in was made from recycled packaging materials, and the containers themselves are recyclable and made from recycled materials as well.
I'm very thrilled that my first encounter with true eco-friendly products has been such a success, I'm so thrilled that I'm offering you the chance to win some Ecostore USA products of your own!

Buy them ; you won't get them free. Not sure about the platform you speak of though.
In the Fire temple in the first long room with the water where fire archers are shooting at you...how do you get to that high platform with the torches in teh upper right of the area? There is a chest there I can't get to. Also, should I buy the shield and those farsight goggles in town or will i get them for free or win them somewhere? Thanks
Buy them ; you won't get them free. Not sure about the platform you speak of though.
Well, about the sheild, you won't find it anywhere else, so go ahead and purchase it. About the goggles, I don't think that I saw those, and I didn't need them, but buy them if you want to.
Also, about the platform, I cannot remember that far back from that temple. I may remember when I get there again, but for right now, I have no clue.
i also need help with this last chest. i can't get to that platform... do we need to come back later to get it?
Here's a little help....maybe
Spoiler Alert!You need the hero's bow. To get it you need to go through the locked door to the right in the long room that you speak of. If you don't have a key for that door, go look under the water in one of the previous rooms.

Lords 'caved in to Muslims' over film
- British Parliament calls off screening of controversial film (Associated Press of Pakistan, 23/01/2009)
- Fitna British parliament screening scrapped (DutchNews, 26/01/2009)
- Dutch MP faces court for criticising Islam (22/01/2009)
- Scouts adopt Islamic pledge (20/01/2009)
- Reverend's radio show axed over Muslim row (12/01/2009)
Tue, 3 Feb 2009
A House of Lords screening of a film linking Islam to violent extremism was blocked after pressure from Muslim groups, according to reports.
The screening, planned for last Thursday, was cancelled after a meeting between Lord Nazir Ahmed, senior House of Lords figures and Muslim leaders, according to a Pakistani news agency.
The Associated Press of Pakistan quotes Lord Ahmed terming the cancellation "a victory for the Muslim community".
The decision to cancel the Lords showing was reportedly reached after Lord Ahmed met with the Government Chief Whip in the House of Lords and Leader of the House of Lords.
Representatives from the Muslim Council of Britain, British Muslim Forum and others from the British Muslim community were also present at the meeting.
The film, Fitna, was made by Dutch MP Geert Wilders. It juxtaposes quotations from the Koran with footage of terrorist atrocities and speeches by Muslim preachers.
Mr Wilders is facing prosecution in the Netherlands after he compared the Koran with Mein Kampf and said there is a direct link between Islam and violence.
The European Parliament also refused to allow a screening of Fitna on its premises last December, according to reports.
One Dutch MEP, Maria Martens, welcomed the decision.
"The film has nothing to do with freedom of expression. This freedom does not give the right to offend," she said.
Reacting to the Lords' decision, Mr Wilders said: "This is very sad. It is yet more evidence that Europe is losing its freedom and bowing to Islamic pressure and protest."
According to commentator Melanie Phillips, Mr Wilders has now been given a second invitation to screen his film in the House of Lords later this month.

Re: "RESOLVED: Reporting Issues with Stores Traffic" (link to eBay's announcement)
Hi Ina
Looks like Ebays Omniture fix didn't last long. I was looking forward to comparing Last October to this one as I sell a lot of Halloween items but it seems that at the stroke of midnight the gremlins struck again and I've had less visits than I've had actual buyers.
Time for Ebay to get the professionals in methinks.
Keep up the good work. This is my first ever email to you.
From supervisor in account management for paypal in omaha, nebraska that paypal is now using macros in many instances to decide paypal complaints of item not described nature to default to return for full refund resolution if over a certain dollar amount. He would not say what that amount was or in what instances macros were used, but when they were that no human at paypal actually looks at the case or investigates it.
Why does Paypal charge a fee on sales tax and postage? Don't they get enough with the fee on the final price? And why did the Australians fight Paypal to get money orders and checks put back in their auctions?
Hi again Ina,
I am writing you to let you know the train-wreck of a story I have with the new ebay so called "best match" and TRS launch or relaunch?. I am sure I am not the only one. Yesterday I got my shiny new TRS badge and had a great feeling about it. I check my search results and as excepted for my product ( ) the BM engine listed me at the top of 8 results out of about 40 total. Its been like this for months now since I employed relisting the same ads again and again and watching my product outsell my competitors over 10 to one.
Then by that evening I recheck BM rankings and to my dismay my top three selling items, which formerly held the top three BM results, now are 2/3 of the way down the list, even under non-TRS and no-items-sold FP listings. You can imagine how its affects my sales and my blood pressure. I have emailed both Mr. Jeff King and " seller advocate" Mr. Jim Griffith with no response thus far.
I thought you might find this interesting, and yet again ebay has a "swing and a miss" for veteran sellers again.
Thanks for your reporting,
In doing a lot of searching on ebay for new products heres what I've noticed.
1) I have a list of 250 Previous PowerSellers that I use for researching for products and costs.
2) Less than 5% of them are still PowerSellers.
3) And even if they still are PowerSellers, I could only fine 4 that had the Top Rated Seller icon.
4) Where do you think this will end up as? Ebay will now save tons of money for rebates to those sellers each month on thier FVF's.
5) Oh, by the way most all of those sellers give FREE S/H. I noticed one with 99.8% FB, with over
220,000 FB, and still he gets a Rating on his shipping costs at 4.8, and he ships everything for FREE.
Why does ebay do this is SIMPLE, if you train your sellers to do what you tell them to do, they will
do it, even tho they know that its not practical. But ebay tells them its best, so they do it anyways.
Then after a certain timeframe ebay will reverse what they said the first time, but by now those sellers
are in a rut, and won't reprogram their selling practices. Ebay WINS, Sellers LOSE!!!!
In all my 10 years on selling on ebay, I've never have listened to ebay on how to sell, Ebay is only a
a venue, if they were sellers they wouldn't have all these policies that they have now. Its like the IRS,
not 1 person in the whole mess of them knows all the rules, regulations, etc that make up the IRS.
But it seems like anybody you contact at ebay knows all the rules, thats why the give you canned answers
to any inquiry or tell the person they will pass it on, SURE they will???
The only way for ebay to get rid of approx. 95 - 99% of all these policies and rules is for the IRS to
classify all sellers on ebay as Independent Contractors.
As you know the new Top Rated Seller program has rolled out - including the very conspicuous TRS only search. HOWEVER, it is apparently going to take up to 4 weeks for all TRS to be included - in other words, though they rolled out the search immediately, they are rolling out the actual sellers much slower. Per Griff: "The Top Rated Seller program is launching this week and will be open incrementally to all qualified sellers over the next four weeks."
As usual the right hand and left hand don't what each other doing. It is not right to roll out the special search prior to having the TRS program fully rolled out. I qualify for the TRS program but will be excluded in this search and demoted in a regular search - for up to 4 weeks - just because they have not gotten around to doing their job?
Thank you,
As an avid subscriber of your weekly newsletters, I though it appropriate to vent to your readers about how Paypal sides with the Buyer and screws the seller.
On July 27th, I shipped a Minolta Camera to a buyer in China. Total value including shipping was $119.00. The buyer claimed they did not receive............BECAUSE they would not pay the duty charges to pick it up. Instead, they blamed us and claimed to Paypal they did not receive the camera and filed a claim. We submitted proof and still Paypal sided with the buyer and we are out $119 plus the Minolta Camera. Further, we cannot leave disappointed feed to the buyer.
Can you air this gripe to other Ebay'ers?
Hi Ina,
I just read the article regarding Etsy's July stats, (see link)
I feel that these numbers may not be truly reflective of actual moneys changing hands. The site has been running "Weekend Deals" via their Etsy Finds for awhile. These point buyers to sellers who are either offering free shipping or other various discounts.
The process for sellers to change prices on their items is cumbersome and very labor intensive, so sellers often opt to issue a post sale refund via Paypal. When this method is employed the sale is registered by Etsy at full price. This in turn is creating an artificial set of numbers, while giving Etsy the benefit of full value FVF commissions.
I don't know the ratios for All Sales : Weekend Deals, but if sellers are issueing post sales refunds as the discount, the 10% is not accurate.
Hi Ina,
I love your newsletter. Keep up the great work.
I have complained and complained to eBay about buyers who never pay but leave sellers bad feedback and I get nowhere. What is wrong with these eBay-nuts? Now, they are not going to include feedback from International buyers and I sell a lot oversees. I have many repeat customers so my DSR is going to drop drastically once again. Every time I get my feedback up to 4.9-5.0 it drops from these non-payers leaving me negative feedback, as well as eBay manipulating it about 4 days before my invoice is due��..go figure why so many people are bitching about eBay policies and leaving. I make my living selling on eBay and now I am also starting to move into other directions.
The only problem is I have been on Bonanzle for months and have only sold three items���eBay knows the market isn�t there on many of these smaller venues but I keep hoping that will change as more buyers and sellers leave eBay. I am now starting up a ecommerce store with Auctiva so will continue to use eBay to get more customer base but some day I will leave there for good.
What does it take to get eBay to listen to us smaller sellers, and I am not so small as I do $10,000 a month, but now I am not even in the Top-rated and will lose my status with the new policies going into effect this month. I have been on eBay eight years and have gone from several hundred dollars a month to what I do today but I am nothing to eBay!
I have learned not to pay them $5,000 a month. Now I keep that under $1,600. That is my goal for now on�not letting them take my hard earned money to pay those greedy people. What is most frustrating is not getting the service that I am paying for because that went out the window about 4 years ago!
Anyway, enough griping for now. Thanks for listening.
Hi Ina,
Any word on any up and coming ebay alternatives. Not seeing a lot of that in your letters lately.
Thanks. Duane
Dear Ina,
I have been an eBay store operator for several years with good results. About May, 2009 I noticed a drastic drop in my eBay store traffic and of course reduced sales. The first call to eBay regarding this problem did not give any indication of the overall problem. A call earlier this week solved the problem. I finally got in touch via chat with an eBay representative who was at least honest.
For all eBay store owners, they should know that store listings are now given no priority within the search conditions at eBay. As a matter of fact, auction and fixed price listings are given priority within the Best Match criteria. I had searched a couple of categories and found my listings to be very hard to find within the search. This was the reason for my call to eBay and my questions.
A good warning to ALL eBay store owners is that you are on the "end of the list" regard to buyers search efforts. When I asked what I could do to improve listings appearing within the search, it was recommended that I list more auction and Buy it Now listings. When I asked why this was the case: the answer was that these type of listings are at higher fees.
The lesson is very easy to understand, eBay is only looking for the maximum return. In my opinion, they are not being honest with current store owners or potential new store operators, when they encourage them to open a store. IT IS FALSE ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION.
I hope that other store owners will see this correspondence and realize that they are being sold a "bill of goods" regarding store operation.
Thank you for your time,
After reading your "eBay Lays Off 40% of German Workforce" story I used the Google translation feature to read the German eBay press release. The translation provided a little bit of humor, "A new center of excellence for not taking care of customers in German-speaking countries, to be built in the Irish capital Dublin."
Can you confirm with PayPal/eBay if sellers are covered if a package gets lost in the mail? I was just told by an eBay customer service rep that it is the sellers responsibly to deliver each item purchased and that PayPal Selller protection will only kick in if receipt can be confirmed by signature or delivery confirmation (sounds like there is no longer any actual seller protection). If sellers wanted to be covered for a lost package (or packaged delivered but not scanned by the USPS) then they must pay for postal insurance (since sellers can no longer ask buyers to pay for insurance).
In the past, it was my understanding that sellers were protected up to 2K per shipment if they shipped to a confirmed address, shipped within 7 days, used delivery confirmation (if item valued under $250), shipped with signature delivery confirmation (if item valued over ($250).
I need a refresher course on this. Can you help?
Hi Ina,
I've been a seller on ebay for 3 years and have always paid my ebay fees using the "make a one time payment" option. Last month (Aug) I was not able to use this option. I wrote to PayPal, who gave me the usual help directions (which did not work). I then wrote to ebay, who first wrote back with the same help directions, then wrote that they know about the problem and are working, on it. I tried to pay my fees this month and received the same error as before. Is ebay discontinuing this option? And if so, have they announced it? I sure haven't heard anything.
