As life expectancies around the globe continue to rise, pension funds are seeking to further de-risk their books. This creates opportunities for reinsurers looking to diversify. Intelligent Insurer investigates.
The ageing population has become one of the defining issues of our time. Medical advances, along with rising living standards, are allowing people to live longer, healthier and more enriched lives. A report published in March this year by the UK Office of National Statistics predicted that one in three babies born in 2012 in the UK will live to be 100 years old.
On one hand this demonstrates the significant progress that medical science is making, along with other general improvements to the quality of life for a large percentage of the global population. But on the other, it means that urgent steps are required in order to deal with a population that will live for much longer than ever before.
For pension funds, this issue is particularly acute. As pension fund members live longer, the funds are being forced to find ways to mitigate the inherent longevity risk. This has led to increased interest in the opportunities that longevity swaps offer to pension funds to shift that risk on to a third party.

Scouting combine review: Who popped and who dropped?
INDIANAPOLIS Three hundred and thirty prospects traveled to the annual scouting combine to be poked and prodded by medical examiners, grilled by NFL personnel men and tested during on-field drills.
While the combine comprises only a fraction of the bodies of work teams consider, it's also the largest predraft event and goes a long way toward solidifying players' stock.
A closer look at the players who helped and hurt themselves the most in Indianapolis:
•Julio Jones, WR, Alabama: He entered the combine slightly behind A.J. Green of Georgia as the top wide receiver in this draft. After Jones measured in at a rock-solid 6-3, 220 pounds and bested Green in virtually every drill, the gap between the two hasn't just narrowed, Jones might have emerged as the leader at the position. His strong performance could result in a top-10 selection even though he'll need surgery for a fractured foot.
•Christian Ponder, QB, Florida State: Capitalizing on the momentum from an MVP performance at the Senior Bowl, he demonstrated great accuracy and answered questions about his recovery from two arm surgeries with improved zip on his passes. Ponder, who threw immediately after Auburn's Cam Newton in the afternoon session of Sunday's quarterback drills, looked like a future Pro Bowler in comparison to the reigning Heisman Trophy winner's inconsistent effort. Ponder's intelligence, mobility and accuracy on short to intermediate passes make him the top West Coast-offense quarterback prospect in this class. He's making a case as a potential first-round pick.
•Virgil Green, TE, Nevada: Tight ends were generally thought to be among the worst position groups of the 2011 draft, but Green and Southern California's Jordan Cameron demonstrated that perhaps the crop isn't as bad as thought. Green, 6-3, 249 pounds, finished among the position leaders in virtually every drill. His 42½-inch vertical jump led all offensive prospects and showed greater explosiveness than workout warrior-turned-Pro Bowler Vernon Davis' 42-inch performance in 2006.
•Greg Little, WR, North Carolina: With Little having been suspended for the 2010 season for accepting improper benefits from an agent, few players had more riding on their combine performance. A spectacular, but raw, athlete who saw time at running back for the Tar Heels before switching to receiver, Little measured in like a tight end at 6-3, 220 pounds and led the position with 27 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press, more than several of the top offensive tackles. Little also finished among the positional leaders in the vertical jump (40½ inches) and broad jump (10 feet, 9 inches). Most important, he was honest and contrite in his interviews with news reporters and teams.
•Graig Cooper, RB, Miami (Fla.): With the explosive times Cooper ran in the three-cone drill and short shuttle, he provided evidence he's getting back to full strength after a 2009 tear of an anterior cruciate ligament. He led all running backs with a 6.66-second time in the three-cone and finished behind only Nebraska's Roy Helu Jr. (by 0.02 seconds) in the short shuttle. Each drill is designed to test a player's lateral agility and explosiveness.
•Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska: Like top-rated defensive back Patrick Peterson (LSU), Amukamara erased any doubt about his status as a first-round pick with an excellent week. With a sub-4.4 40 time and fluid hips during positional drills, Amukamara might have locked up a top-10 selection.
•Cam Newton, QB, Auburn: His physical talent is obvious, but so is the fact that he remains quite raw as a passer when asked to drop back. His slow drop forced him to speed up his delivery, affecting his weight transfer and ultimately his accuracy on timing passes, especially the deep-out, a staple of every pro-style offense. Other than simple tosses to receivers through the gantlet drill, Newton completed 11 of 21 passes at the combine. He might still be the No. 1 overall pick, but his workout and struggles in some team interviews make this far less than the slam-dunk some predicted.
•Weslye Saunders, TE, South Carolina: Suspended for the 2010 season, he needed a strong performance just to refresh scouts' memories about his unique pass-catching ability as a 6-5, 270-pound tight end. A broken bone discovered in his foot, however, eliminated his opportunity to work out. However, he was contrite and forthcoming in his interview session regarding his NCAA suspension and eventual dismissal from the Gamecocks program.
•JacQuizz Rodgers, RB, Oregon State: A first-team all-Pacific-10 performer in each of his three seasons, his on-field production shouldn't be completely overshadowed by a disappointing week at the combine. Nonetheless, measuring in even shorter than expected (a shade under 5-6), the 196-pounder's lack of speed (4.64) and explosiveness (33-inch vertical) surprised scouts, who pictured him as a big-play, change-of-pace back in the NFL.
•Jon Baldwin, WR, Pittsburgh: Providing a classic example of how expectations can work against a player in this environment, Baldwin — touted as one of this year's potential workout warriors — ran slower (4.50 in the 40-yard dash) than expected, showed little burst in the shuttle drills and struggled running routes and simply catching passes.
•Vincent Brown, WR, San Diego State: He was one of the most impressive players at the Senior Bowl, but whatever momentum he built there ended in 4.71 seconds at the combine. His poor showing could push him into the later rounds.
•Ahmad Black, SS, Florida: With his spectacular play in the SEC and Senior Bowl fresh on the mind of scouts, many were willing to overlook Black's size (5-9, 184 pounds). Some Cover-2 teams even were projecting the ball-hawking playmaker as a zone cornerback. Running in the mid-4.7 range at the combine, however, likely makes Black a liability in coverage at either position. He'll have a chance to address speed questions — as top cornerback Joe Haden did after a slower than expected 40 time at the 2010 combine — at Florida's March 15 pro day.

Kris Freeman
February 22. 2013 2:29PM
He has overcome physical setbacks - the kind that bring out the quit in weaker men - to become an Olympic skier.
Sound familiar?
During the winter of 2002-2003 he went to Europe, into the lion's den, where American skiers are treated the same way we look at baseball players from France: Bemusing novelties who ultimately gain little respect. Boy, did he change those attitudes.
He forced his way on to the world stage with performances rarely seen from Americans. He got his respect, not to mention a legion of fans treating him like a rock star.
>He has become the American skier that will revolutionize the sport in the United States.
Sounds like another Bode Miller intro, doesn't it?
It's not.
This story, the story of Kris Freeman, might be better.
Kris, 22, is a Type I diabetic who needs insulin injections five times a day. He has become the first diabetic to successfully compete at an international level in an endurance sport like cross country skiing. He was diagnosed in September of 2000, but that didn't stop him from training for the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City.
Less than a year later, he had to have surgery for compartment syndrome, which caused abnormal growth of the muscles in his lower legs.
"I had the Olympics in less than a year, so I knew I had to deal with it," Freeman said. "It's a pretty simple procedure, but pretty painful."
Hinckley, whose family lives a mile down the road from the Freeman house, and Van Loan, who is from nearby Webster, made the Nordic combined team. The only person missing was Kris' older brother, Justin, who narrowly missed joining Kris on the cross country team. Kris thinks Justin will be on the team for the 2006 Games in Torino, Italy.
He stunned the cross country world this winter in Italy by winning the Under-23 world championship in February and, a week later, finishing fourth in the 15 kilometer classic ski race at the Nordic World Ski Championships. It was the best finish by a U.S. skier since Vermont native Bill Koch won a bronze medal in the 30K race at the 1982 Worlds.
"I got more press than the winner did, probably twice as much. They were shocked and they were happy, too. They want the U.S. to do well. It was a little overwhelming."
Cross country skiing? That's a couple of guys named Swen stiff-legging their way through the woods in countries that consider New Hampshire winters tropical.
It was during the winters here that Donavon Freeman taught his two sons how to cross country ski. Now, it looks like Kris may be the one to bring the sport a popularity it hasn't had here since the days of Bill Koch more than two decades ago.
"It's a European sport, (and) for now I accept it," Freeman said recently. "One of my goals is to bring it to the masses. If you get an Olympic medal, its going to fire people up and bring interest to the sport."
He needs to look no further than Miller to know the power of an Olympic medal.
"Bode won world championship gold, (but) he also has a silver medal in the Olympics and that's what Americans pay attention to," Freeman said. "Most Americans don't even know there is a world championships. If you come from the U.S. and you want notoriety, you want fame for your sport; you put it together every four years when they put the show on. That's what Bode did."
"I think if I have the same success as him, notoriety will come."
That day may be coming soon. Freeman, who has become a spokesman for Lilly, the pharmaceutical company that developed the type of insulin treatments that allow him to compete, is getting ready to head back to Park City to begin training with the national team.
If he keeps progressing the way he did this winter, he will certainly be among the medal favorites in 2006.
And that's when millions will hear this wonderful story.

VPN: Set up lan games/View connected computers
I have Windows Server 2008 Datacenter R2 SP1 32-bit and im having a bit of difficulty with the VPN ive set up. I'm trying to make it so that clients can view each other on the VPN network and not have to enter an IP address in the address bar of their file browser. Im also trying to make it so we can play LAN games on the VPN. Currently i have WINS running and configured to the VPN, but its not helping.
What can i do and what do i have to do? I want to use the windows VPN server and not a third-party program like Hamachi or Tunngle.
All replies
In Windows server OS, we can install the Routing and Remote Access Services component to make this server as a VPN server. The following are some RRAS related articles, I think it can helps if you want to setup a VPN server.
Install RRAS
Enable RRAS as a VPN Server
After you configure the VPN server, please manually configure the VPN server with the IP addresses of the appropriate DNS and WINS servers. By default, the VPN clients inherit the DNS and WINS server IP addresses configured on the VPN server. However, VPN clients that are capable of sending a DHCPINFORM message get their DNS and WINS server IP addresses from the DHCP server. If we cannot put the DNS/WINS options in DHCP request, you may consider use static IP Pool on VPN server. It will inherit the DNS and WINS server setting on all VPN clients.
Configure the Way RRAS Assigns IP Addresses to VPN Clients

I went through the steps, and when enabling RRAS as a VPN Server it looks like i need two connections, otherwise to select custom. What do i need to do there?
Also i don't fully understand the directions you gave after enabling RRAS as a VPN Server. Can you please rephrase it into a process that i can just start going through menus to find what your talking about? That would be much appreciated.

I have owned the same truck now for 8 weeks and 3,000 miles. There are a few very vocal people who don't like this powertrain. It's not the most refined out there, but that being said there isn't anything wrong with the transmission. I averaged 17.5 miles per gallon at 80plus mph recently on a 1,200 mile road trip. Not bad for a truck driving that fast. This truck with incentives and dealer discount is far less than the Dodge or Ford. I have the 5.3 with the 6 speed transmission.Report it

As loving partners, Bob and I plan fun things to do whenever we're together.
These photos were taken 2 weeks ago on the Monongalia "Upper" River Trail about 5 miles from home. The weather was rather fall-like for August.
The eyelet like borders on the sides of the cardstock are digital images. I first added my journaling to the page, then added the border strips and printed.
I shaded the border with colored pencils before adhering my photos, fancy cuts and alphas--finishing with some splatters of paint.
Have a great day!

From the Pulmonary Section, Veterans Affairs Medical Center and University of Minnesota, Minneapolis
1997 by the American College of Chest Physicians
Inhaled and systemic corticosteroids are commonly prescribed for the treatment of COPD. Despite their frequent use, there is insufficient evidence regarding efficacy of steroid therapy in COPD. While awaiting the results of more definitive prospective trials, the clinician must evaluate whether the benefits of such therapy outweigh the potential for adverse events. This is particularly pertinent in the population of patients with COPD who generally are older, less active, and have significant tobacco use histories, all of which may place them at greater risk for adverse effects. In this review, we examine the current scientific evidence supporting the many purported adverse systemic effects associated with the use of corticosteroids in the treatment of COPD.

Federal and state government agencies are required to follow certain procedures in order for their actions to be constitutional. For the federal government, these procedures are generally outlined by the Federal Administrative Procedure Act (FAPA). Each state government has its own set of administrative procedures as well, some of which are modeled after FAPA. An administrative law attorney specializes in administrative procedures at the federal and/or state level. Some examples of administrative agencies include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). If, for example, the FDA passes new rules that affect your business, you may benefit from the services of an administrative law lawyer to better understand whether the FDA followed the correct procedure in passing these rules and whether you should contest them.

Leave the big-city grind behind and Escape to this lakeside resort in the Minneapolis suburbs, hidden amid meadows, forests, and trails.
The Destination
Oak Ridge Hotel & Conference Center may be just 30 minutes from Minneapolis, but its 130 tree-filled acres lend this resort-inspired destination in Chaska an away-from-it-all vibe you don't normally find so conveniently.

The Digs
The accommodations at Oak Ridge Hotel & Conference Center are nothing if not comfortable. Each bright, airy room is equipped with complimentary high-speed wireless Internet and 39-inch flat-screen TV, and features a queen bed or two double beds—plush, pillow-topped, and draped in Egyptian cotton sheets. It's a serene setting, perfect for getting a restful night of sleep or admiring the surrounding countryside through the large windows. There's not a bad seat in the house at the on-site Seasons Restaurant, where three-story windows overlook the lake and dining is a delight for nearly every meal of the day. Guests staying here on Sunday mornings can even take part in the much-lauded brunch buffet.
The Details

During the past ten years, Honeywell has awarded scholarships to 2,176 teachers from 55 countries and 52 U.S. states and territories. Since 2004, educators have shared their experiences and knowledge to more than 2 million students, inspiring many to pursue STEM education and careers. From winning grants from local and federal governments, to entering students in international and NASA educational projects, to creating STEM-focused after school programs, the impact of the program is continuing beyond the classroom. To help mark the program's decade-long run, 10 HESA alumni have been selected, one representing each year, to be the guests-of-honor at the graduation ceremony on June 23. "HESA inspired me and in turn touched my students in a unique way. Years later, I was thrilled when I learned that the young engineer at Kennedy Space Center speaking about his wonderful job was one of my former students," said David Auerbach, HESA 2006 alumni and a middle school teacher from Canaan, New Hampshire. This year, 204 teachers from 27 countries, including 144 from 43 U.S. states and territories, will attend one of two five-day programs offered over consecutive weeks from June 11-24 at the USSRC in Huntsville, Ala. Teachers will be given rigorous training focused on science and space exploration including astronaut-style exercises like high-performance jet simulation, scenario-based space mission, land and water survival training, and interactive flight dynamics programs. "This program is all about re-igniting passion in teachers," said Tom Buckmaster, president of Honeywell Hometown Solutions, the company's global citizenship initiative responsible for HESA. "STEM subjects are some of the most challenging to teach, but this experience helps teachers discover new ways of delivering lesson plans to the next generation of engineers, programmers, mathematicians and astronauts." According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, in the last ten years, the demand for STEM related jobs grew three times faster than jobs in other fields. However, according to the U.S. Education Department, only 16 percent of high school seniors are considered proficient in mathematics and interested in a STEM career. Only half of those students who pursue STEM courses in college actually go on to careers in STEM fields.

Dragon goggles on The Clymb
Hey guys & gals. If anyone is interested, The Clymb has Dragon goggles on sale today - cheaper than my GF bought hers on a hook-up locally The Clymb | The Gear You Need. Up to 70% Below Retail.
You have to sign up just to look? I'll pass. It's a philosophical/privacy thing. The stupid part is if they were that good, I'd buy the stuff and have to give them my info, anyway.
Just saw it, great deals:thumbsup:. I would get one but i already got my eg2 from the past week sale. :D
Considering getting a pair of Rogues, but I also would wait and see if they get some Crowbars or Splices...should I go for it? I need a pair of daytime goggles.
whiskey militia had the rogues for $35 before and have great deals on goggles like right now eg2's are $65 on there as we speak
I know. I think I've seen Oakley sunglasses on The Clymb in the past, but I don't know if I've ever seen goggles on there. I'm tempted to get a pair of Rogues as well...

| Ice Drop chapter 1 . 4/1/2015
Wow. How hearbreaking!
| Dawn Racer chapter 2 . 11/30/2011
AWWWWW. Are you going to continue? This was so good and just touched my heart.
| tanithlipsky chapter 2 . 5/21/2011
| Eerie Iri chapter 2 . 10/28/2010
I really liked the hopeful ending.
| Eerie Iri chapter 1 . 10/28/2010
This made me cry!
| narmoture chapter 2 . 3/9/2009
*wibbles* You made me cry. That's all I have to say.
| Atalan chapter 2 . 12/12/2008
And my poor heart is just as wrung by this as the first part. ;_; I agree with Slingshot, it hurts horribly to see bright, curious Fireflight sitting so still and quiet. And that simple little "I want my brothers back" made me want to _weep_. But that little bit of hope at the end there is just enough.
| Northwest Sage chapter 2 . 12/9/2008
Silverbolt? It's always my favorites that end up taking the dirt nap... very nice story- touching, but not too sappy!
| Meiza chapter 2 . 12/8/2008
So sad, and touching. Great choice for survivors, by the way. I like seeing how tender Slingshot is with Fireflight.
| Paleodex chapter 2 . 12/8/2008
Aww, jet fluff!
I can definitely understand that being given something to be responsible for, something that only he can handle, would help Slingshot himself. In a way, he's helping himself by helping Fireflight. Still, it's so sad! I wasn't even aware that you were going to continue this story, I'm just glad I imported all my favorites onto my Story Alerts. I loved this, just as much as the first part. The flying scene at the beggining was great, and I love the mentioning of Slingshot's special capabilities, as well as his short comings, it was a good balance of both.
In a nutshell: Me like!
| Shizuka Taiyou chapter 1 . 12/6/2008
That's it keep going.
| ToaVeka chapter 1 . 9/20/2008
Wow this was so sad... Poor Flight and Sling.. they must feel shattered...
You wrote it very well, not with over-exaggerated angst or attempts at lightness. It feels real, like what could really happen
| Atalan chapter 1 . 9/11/2008
Argh. Poor, poor little Aerialbots. But thank you for not subscribing to the belief that losing a loved one means automatic death for the bereaved. And I loved Wheeljack's point at the end about giving them a chance.
*cuddles jets*
I have a question, though - what is with this thing about Smokescreen being a psychiatrist? I've seen it all over the place and I have no idea where it comes from - it seems totally antithetical to his personality and character traits as I understand them. o.o
| Misao-CG chapter 1 . 8/20/2008
Good Lord! ó.o... ::Emo-mode is ON:: This Oneshot was... really touching! You got me, here, you did and... ::sobs:: ó.ò Can I Hug Slingshot and Fireflight? ;O;
Even if this was SAD, it is a nice piece of work. Congratulations, This story is awesome... sad, but WOW!
Here, have a cookie! n.n... ó.o Could you give this energon-cookie jar to Slingshot and Fireflight? ;-;
| Bluebird Soaring chapter 1 . 8/20/2008
Gah, poor mechs! Heartbreaking but interesting read...I'd be curious to see how this plays out. My bet is they both get revenge and then its over...but perhaps new flyers could be found?

|AccessLogValve question: how to correctly log HttpSession attribute
|Thu, 29 Jul 2004 20:33:26 GMT
Hello, I have a question related to capturing data in the Tomcat access logs. I'm using Tomcat 5.0.19 with the Sun 1.4.2_03 SDK on Windows 2000. According to the documentation for the Tomcat AccessLogValve component, I should be able to capture attributes in the HttpSession into my access logs. I was able to get some information into my logs following the syntax ""%{promotion}s%quot;". Using that syntax, I get what appears to be the attribute object id in my logs: "tb.web.Promotion@313170". I want to see actual >>value<< of this attribute instead! What is the correct syntax to the get the value of the attribute? In my case, it should be a five digit number like "12345". While I'm glad to get this far, its still not close enough. Is there more doc on this topic anyplace? Also, is anyone on the list using Webtrends 7? If so, what logging "pattern" are you using in your server.xml? While it appears to be in the logs, the Search Engine data is not appearing in our Webtrends reports. Many thanks for reading and for any hints - MitchellT --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

After a century in stasis the girl En arrives at her destination: A Palace out of legend, a marvel of the old civilization eons gone, still awaiting its first human occupants. Out here, using forgotten technologies, she hopes to bring back a life that shouldn't have been lost.
In ECHO everything has consequence: As you try to wield its magical technologies it becomes apparent that the Palace has a will of its own… It studies everything you do, everything you are – to use it against you.
The Palace creates Echoes – exact copies of you in every way. They behave like you and only do the things you do. So the way you play the game shapes your enemy. If you run, soon the Echoes will get faster. If you sneak, they will get stealthier. If you shoot, they will start to shoot back. The game constantly reacts to your every choice and input.
The Palace "reboots" every few minutes, resulting in a blackout. This blackout-cycle is the rhythm at which the "Echoes" get updated with your latest behavior, learning and unlearning from your actions. During the blackout the palace is blind, giving you the freedom to act without consequence. This is the time to run and gun and do all the things you don't want the Echoes to learn.
The experience is one of being up against your own choices from the last blackout-cycle, giving you a way of shaping the game from cycle to cycle. It is up to you whether you prefer to keep a low profile or if you choose to go head on and deal with the consequences later – one thing is certain you need to keep your wits about you as you face the ultimate enemy: Yourself.
Battlefield 2142

Introducing a futuristic art style, science fiction weaponry, and the asymmetric game mode Titan, Battlefield 2142 still has a hardcore following that doesn't want to leave the future behind.

Tatham Art Gallery
Serving Msunduzi through the Visual Arts
Trevor Makhoba - Standard Bank Young Artist
7 August to 8 September 1996
Home > Exhibitions > 'Chickenman' Mkhize
Trevor Makhoba - Standard Bank Young Artist
Trevor Makhoba, the winner of this year's Standard Bank Young Artist Award for visual art, is a self-taught artist who was born in Cato Manor, Durban, in 1956. Trevor Makhoba was born in Durban and, self-taught, became a full-time artist in 1989.
"He is an emerging contemporary artist whose "vision focuses on the state of flux of black life in South Africa. His narrative paintings are a vehicle through which he communicates his personal disquiet and anxiety," says Nicole Donald of Gallery on Tyrone in Johannesburg, who wrote the notes for last year's Standard Bank National Arts Festival programme.
Makhoba's works reflect his perception of such issues as child molestation, alcohol abuse, crime and violence. He also explores cultural issues and where his Zulu heritage stands in a new society.
The travelling exhibition of his work comes direct from the Standard Bank National Arts Festival to the Tatham Art Gallery in Pietermaritzburg to form part of the main programme of the 1996 Maritzburg Arts Festival.
Trevor Makhoba will run a two-day guest artist project with talented local artists on 14 and 15 August to explore the ways in which an artist arrives at the thematic content of his work and how this is translated into pictorial terms.
The Trevor Makhoba exhibition opens on 7 August and runs until 8 September 1996. Trevor will conduct a public tour on 15 August at 10h30. A sign-interpreted tour for the deaf and hard of hearing will take place on 24 August.
The Tatham Art Gallery holds an Art Collection that contains significant British and French artworks dating back to the 18th century. Its South-African art collection is focused on, but not exclusive to, the art of KwaZulu-Natal.
The Tatham Art Gallery hosts a range of Art Exhibitions. These include traveling and researched exhibitions as well as exhibitions initiated by the Gallery and compiled from the collection.
A selection of current and archival articles from the Tatham Art Gallery. These articles provide a historical and contemporary perspective on the Gallery and the visual arts in KwaZulu-Natal.

The Tatham Art Gallery shop stocks high quality works by local crafters. It is an ideal place to find unique presents and original collectables.

Director Franco finds comedy in tale of murderous backwoodsman
By Michael Roddy
VENICE (Reuters) - Director James Franco says the character Lester Ballard in his new film "Child of God" has a trace of Charlie Chaplin in him, though the tale of a cave-dwelling necrophiliac is mostly as dark as can be.
Based on Cormac McCarthy's novella of the same name, the movie premiered at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday portrays a Tennessee backwoodsman who has never recovered from his father's suicide and sinks into ever deeper levels of anti-social and psychopathic behavior.
Franco said he sought permission from the "No Country for Old Men" writer to film the seemingly unfilmable story because it provided a way "for me to examine something that's pushed out of civilized society".
But he also found elements of a fumbling, awkward comedy that reminded him on Chaplin, though of a much darker nature than anything the silent film star ever put on screen.
"He's kind of, in some ways he's kind of clumsy, he's, you know, almost comedic," Franco told Reuters in an interview.
"Not laugh-out funny but he's a little ridiculous in some ways and I felt like that's something I've never seen before on the screen, a killer like this that's a little foolish or almost like Charlie Chaplinesque."
That awkwardness shows through in one scene when Ballard, played by Texan actor Steve Haze, struggles to push a woman's body up a ladder into an attic.
"It's not a movie like 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' that is drawing people in with the violence," Franco said. Continued...

As close to paradise as we have been!!

Overall Fraser Island had been very cool, exhilarating and certainly recommended however I wouldn't say it is better than Whitsundays - perhaps the great build up meant it had a lot to live up to, but there was a lot of time spent going to a lake and then waiting around on the waters edge with not much to do. It just felt like everything could have been done a lot quicker, or alternatively more places fitted in. The ferry ...

The Vision And Legacy Of Murray Sinclair
In December 2015 the Truth and Reconciliation Commission handed down its final report in Ottawa. You could hear a pin drop in the cavernous Ottawa Congress Centre. The silence accentuated the muffled cries and spilling tears as Justice Murray Sinclair Chair of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) spoke.
Standing on a stage beneath a banner reading "For the child taken, for the parent left behind," Justice Murray Sinclair delivered a report consisting of some 3,231 pages.
It was at once historic and devastating. The report detailed the horrendous abuse suffered by Indigenous children in residential schools after being kidnapped from their homes by federal government "Indian agents" and placed in strange unwelcoming surroundings where hunger, sexual exploitation and even death became their tragic watch words.
On the stage were two empty chairs in memory of perhaps up to 6000 Indigenous children where the residential school became their final resting place.
In a moment of absolute anguish, Justice Sinclair asked all residential school survivors and their families to stand. He then addressed them directly:
"We did this, after all, for those who were there and for those who were with us. We did this for the children who were taken away and for the parents who were left behind to cry for them. We did this for the children of today who needed to know when and what and why things occurred, so they could understand their lives."
Our country was from that day forward forever changed.
Now thanks to the courage of Residential school survivors and the leadership of the Chair of the TRC, Murray Sinclair and his co-Chairs Dr. Marie Wilson and Chief Wilton Littlechild, we must begin a journey of decades along the reconciliation road.
On May 18th, 2016 the Mosaic Institute which I am privileged to lead honoured now Senator Murray Sinclair with its prestigious "Peace Patron Award" at a sold-out dinner in Toronto.
Vahan Kololian, Chair of Mosaic Institute and Bernie Farber Executive Director bestow Peace Patron Award to Senator Murray Sinclair
Senator Sinclair born in the Selkirk area of Manitoba was an accomplished student. He graduated in 1968 as the school's valedictorian and incidentally was also named as athlete of the year.
Called to the Bar in 1980, Senator Sinclair practiced criminal, civil and Aboriginal law. His reputation as an articulate and brilliant jurist grew. In 1988 he was named Associate Chief Justice of Manitoba and shortly thereafter he was called to be co-Commissioner of Manitoba's Aboriginal Justice Inquiry.
It didn't end there. The tragic deaths of 12 children in 1994 at Winnipeg's Health Sciences Centre necessitated an inquest naturally complicated by emotion and tragedy. Senator Sinclair was appointed to head the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Inquest in 1995.
Senator Murray Sinclair was tapped for the role of TRC Chief Commissioner when the first Commission came to a sudden end with the resignation of its first Chair Justice Harry LaForme and the two other co-Commissioners. It was up to Senator Sinclair to repair the process and move it forward which he did with a sense of both urgency and grace.
Senator Sinclair carried his own burden into the difficult task of heading the TRC. His parents and grandparents were residential school survivors so he was brought up in its shadow.
In the end however, his leadership, understanding and sensitivity helped hundreds of the survivors give heartfelt testimony that many to that date never wanted to relive. Said Senator Sinclair in an interview with the Globe and Mail after hearing thousands of hours of gut-wrenching testaments, "We cried when they cried. We laughed when they laughed."
Senator Sinclair viscerally recognizes the diversity of our nation and with this recognition springs the understanding we will need for future generations, "Everything we do going forward should be based on the question of how we achieve reconciliation" explains Sinclair.
Senator Sinclair's Ojibway name is "Mizanay Gheezhik." It means "the one who speaks of pictures in the sky." As so eloquently stated in the introduction video on the evening of his presentation "...is it any wonder then that he can look to the sky, see what's possible and then show the rest of us how to get there."

The army was called in to help prevent looting. Some reports said as many as 30 people died in Newcastle, an industrial hub of 500,000 people about 75 miles north of Sydney. Hundreds of thousands of homes were reported without electricity. Rescue workers frantically hunted for victims in the rubble. The quake, which measured 5.5 on the Richter scale, struck at 10:28 a.m. Police said it was the first in Australian history to strike a heavily populated arca. "It felt like there was someone under my bedroom floor who lifted the house," said one Newcastle resident, who reported two aftershocks. The worst damage appeared to be at a workers' club where drinkers, relaxing after night-shift work, were crushed by collapsed walls, police said. At least eight people died there, See QUAKE, Page 2 Missing woman found dead after car wreck A Comal County woman who had been missing since Dec. 22 was found dead in Mexico Wednesday, according to James Emory of the Comal County Sheriff's Office. She apparently died in a car wreck. Dorothy Haltom, 67, was last seen at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 22 when she left her Canyon Lake home to pick up her husband at McKenna Memorial Hospital. She never arrived at the hospital and witnesses said she may have left the house that day without a coat. Family members told officials that Mrs. Haltom had a history of wandering off because of a physical condition which affected her memory and impaired hci judgment. Emory said Mrs. Hallom's husband Walter was con tacted by the Mexican Consulate and told she had been killed in a car wreck in Zacatc/as, Mexico. Officials there did not suspected foul play and said she had been killed as a result of the accident. The family is making arrangements to have the body brought here. Emory said the department waded through several calls from people who believed they had seen cither Haltom or her car. He said he had entered her name and description and the description of the car into a nationwide computer network ! Ie said Mexican officials recognized the woman from the computer information.

(Photo by Desmond Bostick) The holiday season is a time of hap-pincsss, but it is also a time for crime. New Braunfels Police Department answered calls for 45 various crimes over the long Christmas weekend. Of the 45 crimes there were five reported cases of family violence, five driving-whilc-intoxicatcd arrests, eight public intoxication cases, and four arrests for minors in possession of alcohol. "That is pretty typical for a holiday that is connected with alcohol," said Martin Mayer, spokesman for the police department. "Forty-five crimes in four days is not abnormally high. In fact, it was as much as we sometimes get on regular weekends." Mayer said on a regular weekend there arc 30 to 35 crimes reported. He said the number of reported family violence cases is not unusual, because the Christmas holiday is a prime time for family violence. "During the holidays, families get together and petty problems come up and in some cases people arc more depressed and aggravated because of the expectations during Christmas," Mayer said. "But some weekends there are just as many cases of family See CRIME, Page 2 Romanians set deadline for Securitate surrender BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — The revolutionary government warned security police holdouts to surrender today or face summary justice, and said most officials who served under Nicolac Ceausescu will not lose their jobs. Comeliu Bogdan, the new deputy foreign minister, said most of the bureaucrats who worked in government during the executed president's 24 years of repressive rule need not fear. "They are not all criminals, they were at the most too servile and obedient. We must try lo avoid a witchhunt at any costs," he told reporters. Most of the country was calm Wednesday, two days after Ceausescu and his wife, Elena, were executed by firing squad after being convicted by a military tribunal of "genocide" and other grave crimes against the people. The government said members of Ccauscs-cu's ruthless security police, or Securitate, would face a similar fate if they did not turn themselves in by this afternoon. Securitate units terrorized Romanians over the weekend, killing hundreds in an attempt to crush the popular revolt that, thanks to the support of the military, toppled Ceausescu on Friday. "If they surrender voluntarily, with their weapons, they will be tried and the death penalty will not be applied," said a communique read on Bucharest radio Wednesday. Since Ccauscscu's body was shown on state television Tuesday, Securitate forces have been reported surrendering en masse, though no figures have been provided. International aid and messages of support City waiting for word on grant for airport New Braunfels Municipal Airport is close to receiving a gram from the Federal Aviation Administration to develop a master plan for the facility. Assistant City Manager Hector Tamayo said the FAA has all bul approved the application for the grant, but is waiting on the federal government to release the funds. The grant is for $52,000 and will be used to pay Archie Walker Engineering to develop the airport's master plan. "Hopefully, the study will tell us if we need more runways, longer runways or things like a terminal area," Tamayo said. "If the FAA accepts the master plan, we will use it as a guide to develop the airport. Once we get the gram it should not take long for the plan to be completed. The Archie Walker firm has already done some work on it." Tamayo said he expects the grant lo be approved sometime in January, and the plan should lake two months to complete. "As they proceed they will determine if there is an environmental impact study needed, that will take some lime and throw up the price," Tamayo said. "The engineer will make that determination and tell the FAA and then we will allocate the S** AIRPORT, Pag* 2 NBU board to consider connection agreement The City of Schertz will become connected with the New Braunfels sewer system as well as the services of the New Braunfels Utilities if approved in the NBU's 3:30 p.m. meeting today.

In other business, trustees will vote to approve the contract for installation of dechlorination equipment for the North Kuehler Wastewater Treatment Plant. The trustees will also vote to approve the Victoria Bank and Trust as the utilities' authorized investment bank, while also establishing an account with the bank. There will also be a vote to approve PaineWebber Inc. as the authorized investment dealer for the utilities.

See ROMANIA, Page 2 Cities set new highs for murder By MITCHELL LANDSBERG Associated Press Writer Murder rales soared to new highs in some of the nation's largest cities in 1989, but at least eight cities saw a surprising drop in homicides. Police were quick to blame crack for homicide records that were set in at least seven cities, but they were less certain about why there was less killing elsewhere. One official suggested that violence may have ebbed in cities where drug dealers have already won their turf wars by killing off rivals and dividing up territory. Final 1989 statistics in most cities won't be prepared for at least several weeks, but a preliminary survey by The Associated Press of police departments in more than 30 cities shows that the number of homicides rose in most of them. "A large amount of the increase has to do with the violence associated with the drug trade," said Hubert Williams, executive director of the Police Foundation. Police officials across the nation echoed his statement. More homicides were committed this year than ever before in Washington, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Charlotte, N.C., and New Haven, Conn SM MURDER, Pag* 2 This afternoon will be sunny but the fog will move back in tonight and in the morning.

Americans residing on the eastern coast, flee to Aruba during the winters, making it one of most favoured tourist's spot in the southern Caribbean. This isn't surprising with the miles of beaches, numerous package resorts and the compact main town of Oranjestad. A lot of day-tripping cruise-ship passengers frequently travel in here, and their initial activity is to stroll by the waters for an hour! Going towards the interiors, lets you explore more of what the island has to offer. They have extreme rugged ends, windswept vistas and lowly crowded beaches.
The South Americans easily get here as it is located 15 miles north of Venezuela. The island is a 2 hour flight away from Miami and Florida, which flocks in visitors from United States and Canada. The island is frequent with Europeans travelers as well, and they all love to enjoy the hurricane-free skies along with cool trade winds.
Since the island is located 12 degrees 30′ north of Equator, the weather stays tropical but not extreme. The average temperature is 28 degrees Celsius. Due to the trade winds, basking under strong sunrays get tolerable, although you shouldn't forget to apply the SPF creams! The tropical climate calls in to wear comfortable summer attire, along with light evening clothes for dining at a restaurant or visiting nightclubs.
Deciding the perfect time to travel will be depended on what you look for. People flying from cold climates make this place crowded and expensive. If you look for lesser crowd and lower prices, coming here any time from April to December will be good. Septembers bring reduced trade winds which slightly increases the temperature. Most of rainfalls are experienced from the months of October to January.
There are several places to sightsee – enough to pack you with a minimum of a 3 week vacation. The best attractions are surely the big beaches, featuring all the amenities you expect. They are long, relaxing and active. There are several attractive sites, natural attractions, historical sites and museums, to explore the rich culture and heritage of the island.
One more reason to plan your vacation in Aruba is the events that take place. The island is full of several musical events, but the best event to be a part of, is the Carnival at Aruba. It takes place between January and March, and brings in weeks of festivities, contests and parades. These are inclusive of music, dancing and eating local cuisine.
The locals in Aruba have a diverse background. They are well read, friendly and known for their hospitality. The Arubans are generally a mix of Caquetio Indian ancestry, along with African and European roots. Their gastronomic delights have been contributed and influenced from Holland, South America and other Caribbean islands. Some dishes are prepared only during special occasions, but can be sampled at authentic local restaurants.

Seeing Is Believing is Nico Muhly's violin concerto, composed for Thomas Gould and his six-string electric instrument four years ago. Like so much of Muhly's music, it is immediately engaging and fresh, with some delicious sounds and striking moments, especially the keening glissandi for the solo violin that open the work, even if in this case there are not quite enough of them to sustain the 25-minute piece convincingly. Another composition from 2007, Step Team, propels itself on the dislocated motor rhythms of neoclassical Stravinsky before finally collapsing into a lingering but still Stravinskian coda spun by a solo trombone. In between them on this debut disc from the Aurora Orchestra are works that derive from Muhly's fascination with early English church music – more or less straight instrumental arrangements of William Byrd and Orlando Gibbons, and two works whose relationship with their sources is more oblique. Motion is built out of fragments of a Gibbons anthem, while By All Means attempts a teasing reconciliation between a Weelkes motet and Webern's Op 24 Concerto.

Scarlet - Never ForgetMature
"I'll find you!" I screamed through the tears as I struggled to keep a hold of Hunter's hand. Cain and the two other Soul Stealers were dragging him away from me, sick smirks contorting their demonic faces. "I'll find you," I gasped again as his fingers were torn out of my grasp, his face reflecting only fear and horror as he was spirited away from me again. "Don't forget me!" He shouted out of the night, and all I could do was nod fervently and hope that it was enough of a promise, signed in blood and sealed in tears.
He was gone.
I collapsed against the tree, shaking uncontrollably. I closed my eyes so I wouldn't see Ms. Westran's mangled body, cast aside like a used rag. I turned my head and retched into the dirt.
It was then, in that moment when I realized that completely and utterly alone in the night, that I felt a sudden, solid weight in my closed fist. Slowly, wonderingly, I uncurled my clenched fingers. There in my muddy, bloodstreaked palm was Hunter's Soul Stealer pendant, shining bright silver in the night. A soft gasp escaped my lips as I stared. He must have pressed it into my hand as we were torn apart, a last promise to make up for all the ones he had broken.
I clutched the cold metal to my heart and whispered a prayer into the night.
I buried Ms. Westran's body beneath the tree where she had died. I dug the grave with my hands, clawing at the packed earth until my fingernails were ragged and black with dirt. I talked to her as I worked, telling her the truth--Hunter's death, his deal with Cain, his real and heartfelt remorse for the things he had done. I hoped that finally hearing the truth would bring some small comfort to her tortured soul.
When I could dig no deeper for the tree roots, I lifted her body--frail from starving herself in heartbreak--and lowered her gently into the grave."You were like a mother to me," I whispered, holding her cold bloodless hand. "And you were everything to Hunter. If he had a chance to change everything, he never would have left you. He would have told you every day for the rest of his life how much you meant to him." Gently, I passed my hand over her face, closing her unseeing eyes. "Goodbye, Ms. Westran," I murmured, and threw the first handful of dirt over her lifeless body.
When it was done, and all that remained of what had happened there that night was a sloping mound of earth at the base of the tree, I turned my tearstreaked face to the sky. "I'll find you. And I'll never, ever forget."
