New Information on Killzone: Shadow Fall DLC Confirmed
Guerrilla Games' latest Killzone installment, Killzone: Shadowfall, is now locked and loaded. According to several people down at Guerrilla Games, this Playstation 4 title is now ready for printing and distribution. Since all of us Playstation 4 fanatics have been a little disappointed lately, given the recent pushback with Watch Dogs and DriveClubs' release dates, this Killzone news is just about enough to take our minds off our current mental state.
Guerrilla Games has also confirmed that all post-launch DLC multiplayer maps will be made free of charge–so you don't have to break the bank, or a sweat for that matter. But, on the other hand, all premium multiplayer maps will still cost some extra dough, but can be purchased at a discounted price with the Season Pass. What this means, exactly, is that Killzone: Shadowfall will indefinitely be a launch title for the Playstation 4 next month. Killzone: Shadowfall is set to release this upcoming November 15th in the U.S., and November 29th in Europe.

The Foxes had hardly threatened before Fryatt jinked past Dean Leacock and neatly stroked home on 68 minutes.
Craig Fagan earlier scored his first goal for Derby after slotting in Giles Barnes' precise through-ball.
But Fagan missed a glorious chance to win the game late on when he hit his tame effort straight at Paul Henderson.
Leicester manager Rob Kelly:"That match showed what we are all about. We didn't shirk the challenge and I'm pleased to come back from a goal down against the leaders.
"We should have had a penalty when they broke away for their goal but we did well to brush that off."
Derby manager Billy Davies:
"I am delighted with the point but angry because I think we should have won the game.
"We stepped off the pace in the second half but although Leicester had lots
of possession I didn't think they carried a threat until they scored.
"We should have at least made sure the game petered out into a 1-0 win.
"But I still feel we have taken a giant step towards the points target I have in my mind for promotion."
Leicester: Henderson, Stearman, Kenton, Kisnorbo, Maybury, Hughes (Yeates 65), Jarrett, Tiatto, Porter, Hume, Hammond (Fryatt 56).Subs Not Used: Logan, Johansson, Horsfield.

KEVIN Blackwell's wheeling and dealing is in full swing as the Bury manager continues to plot the Shakers path out of the League One relegation zone.
Former Crystal Palace midfielder Tom Soares arrived at the back end of last week after his release from Edinburgh club Hibernian, but the 26-year-old is unable to figure until he receives international clearance.
Another new boy, who arrived too late to play a part in Bury's excellent 2-0 home win against Portsmouth on Saturday, is 19-year-old defender Ethan Ebanks-Landell, but he will be available for the trip to face Colchester United this weekend.
Meanwhile, Blackwell is still waiting for permission from Leeds United boss Neil Warnock to exend the loans of Dominic Poleon and Zac Thompson, who both impressed against Pompey, beyond the weekend.
The manager is acutely aware that he only has until the loan deadline, November 23, to complete his deliberations and has centre-back Adam Lockwood on four yellow cards and veteran Efe Sodje with two reds going into the busy Chrismas period.
The Bury boss is having to work within the constraints of the loan rules which prevent him selectingmore than five loanees in his 16-man squad.
But there appears to be a distinctly more optimistic atmosphere around the dresssing than there was before Blackwell's arrival on September 26.
And the boss is adopting a far more supportive tone with his players than he did when he initially arrived.
"I was critical of them when I came," he said. "but now I'm full of praise. They are absolutely first-class professionals with their attitude, the way they've trained, listened and responded.
"I made a few comments to try to see who sank and who swam. Obviously they swam because the lads are still here.
"Sometimes it's a question of how you get into them psychologically. Sometimes you throw the gauntlet down, by saying to someone 'you're not good enough' and then they might say 'I think I am' and then you say 'well go on, then, show me'.
"The players are good enough, but they've got to want to be good enough. It's not enough to turn up and train and go through the motions. You've got to want to play for the club and win games."
Blackwell has little interest in how badly Bury played last season when they visited Saturday's opponents Colchester United where they lost 4-1 "I have no interest in what happened last year, it was before I came here," he said. "It's a different team, manager, everything. But it's true I wouldn't want another performance like that one."

Cholecalciferol is D3. Unfortunately the treated group and control groups were not equal at baseline.
E. Castro, MD
Meningless study. Simply achieving a blood level above 36 ng/ml tells us nothing about Vitamin D and knee arthritis. The studies that have been telling have evaluated at the effects of optimizing D levels..
pekka mooar
another article that says when you have end stage arthritis and no cartilage left you have end stage arthritis and no cartilage left. The questions that nee answering are supplements useful in prevention and progression from early stage oa. Subchondral plate bone health may be related to virt d deficiency in the elderly and a cointribution to spontaneous osteonecrosis. In general nothing good happens when your vit D level is very low..
cesar climaco md
Vitamin D levels should be brought up to 80 to 110 ng/ml. The level 36 is just to low to expect good results. In multiple sclerosis levels of 150 ng/dl have better results..
'In summary, the results of this trial together with recent observational data indicate that vitamin D does not have a major effect on knee OA symptoms or progression among individuals who have a 25-hydroxyvitamin D level higher than 15 ng/mL.' Every time another Vitamin D study comes along that suggests that Vitamin D is not the wonder drug its proponents claim it is, those who have a vested interest in promoting pill-popping, evidently, leap to the defence of the drug. It's the wrong sort of Vitamin D is usually the first claim (as here), despite the fact that typically cholecalciferol is used in modern studies. Then, the next claim is that the serum levels aren't high enough. Then, that cholecalciferol won't work on its own and needs to be accompanied by high levels of this and that: all drugs that are regularly being spruiked by what I call Small Pharma, or by MDs who make a nice living out of 'treating' the untreatable, or by the non-medically qualified who set themselves up as 'natural healers'. Folks, wake up and smell the daisies. It's all a big con. You are being sold snake oil. Many medical conditions are irreversible. Most Americans fail to eat properly, fail to exercise properly, spend too much time in front of the idol box instead of outside in the fresh air and the sun, in the wind and the rain, and then they fall ill. Tough. We all reap what we sow. Don't expect a magic pill to compensate for a lifetime of self-indulgence and of living in the toxic environment that modern man has created..

Smoke Damage
Voices from the Front Lines of America's
Tobacco Wars
Michael Schwalbe
"Schwalbe's book is original, important, moving, and strangely beautiful. His masterful black-and-white portraits are keen sociological observations of people in their natural environments. Smoke Damage will be a lasting statement about the complex world of people who have experienced and resisted the collateral damage caused by tobacco." —Doug Harper, author of Good Company and Working Knowledge
Tobacco use causes over 440,000 premature deaths every year in the United States, or about 20 percent of all annual mortality in the nation. Such statistics remind us of the enormity of the problem, yet offer no insight into how tobacco-related disease is experienced by individuals and their families.
Smoke Damage fills this gap by putting a human face on America's most profitable and most preventable epidemic. Through interviews and photographs, sociologist Michael Schwalbe takes readers beyond the usual statistics and shows the real people—disease survivors, "tobacco widows," educators, activists, legislators, lawyers, researchers, and farmers—on the front lines of America's ongoing tobacco wars. The result is a poignant study of how tobacco-related disease is experienced not only by its victims but also by those who are dedicated to fighting it.
In his introductory essay, Schwalbe examines the scope of the tobacco problem, discusses its economic roots, and writes of his own experience of tobacco's costs. In his afterword, he explores patterns in the lives of disease survivors, offers policy recommendations, and invites readers to take action. Smoke Damage is for anyone whose life has been touched by tobacco-related disease and who wants to understand why the epidemic persists and what can be done to end it.
Michael Schwalbe is professor of sociology at North Carolina State University. He is author of Unlocking the Iron Cage: The Men's Movement, Gender Politics, and American Culture, The Sociologically Examined Life, and Rigging the Game: How Inequality Is Reproduced in Everyday Life.

The Bernheim Arboretum and Research
Forest, State Highway 245, Clermont, KY 40110
Interim Executive Director: Mark Wourms, firstname.lastname@example.com
Horticulture Director: Vacant
Bernheim is open daily, except Christmas Day and New Year's Day, from 0700 until sunset.
Admission is free on weekdays, $5 per vehicle on weekends and holidays.
The arboretum at Bernheim is a wonderful place to visit. The Magic of "Bernheim" is that there is always a undiscovered plant hiding somewhere, a piece of sculpture that wasn't there last time you visited, a landscape scene lighted in a way never seen before. The Frederick Law Olmsted firm of Brookline, MA, created an original landscape design that was adopted in 1935. Bernheim first opened to the public in July 1950. Significant changes have been made in the last few years and the results of those changes should ensure that "Bernheim" already known by plantsmen of the world to be one the best arboretums in the country, will be readily recognized by the public of the world.
The collection is the result of the life-long dedication (33 years) of Clarence "Buddy" Hubbuch and the recent 5 year tenure of Dr. Paul Cappiello, who, to quote him "like a kid in (Buddy's) a candy shop" added hundreds of plants to Bernheim's collections. Dena Garvue while Director of Horticulture added even more plants. Regrettably, there has not been a horticulturist at Bernheim for several years.
Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest is located about 25 miles south of Louisville, KY, on Highway 245 in Clermont, KY. Take I-65 to exit 112 and go east for about one mile.

The Boone County Arboretum was dedicated May 2, 1999 and has one of the best maps I have see for a large planting of trees. The Boone County Arboretum was designed by the well-known plantsman/nurseryman/landscape designer, Dick Ammon, Ammon Landscape, Burlington, KY. I learned of it while preparing this Plant Study Sites file. Dr. Mike Klahr, Horticultural Extension Agent for Boone County sent the needed information and map. The Arboretum is in Central Park and currently encompasses 125 acres and has 950 trees planted and labeled, and 1550 shrubs with many of the shrubs located in over 170 landscape beds. The infrastructure of the Boone County Arboretum is irrigated by a computerized 41,000 linear ft. irrigation system to insure the plantings flourish during the worst of droughts, and has 3 information centers located along the trail for information.

Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 0900-1700, Sunday 1300-1700; closed Thanksgiving Day, December 24, 25, 31 and January 1.
Admission: fee charged.
Once the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Cheek, Cheekwood (built between 1929 and 1932) today it functions as a display garden and fine arts center. Its 18th-century Georgian-style mansion and English-style landscape were designed by Bryant Fleming. In 1959 the Cheeks' daughter gave the 55-acre estate to a not-for-profit organization to maintain it as a cultural center for Nashville and the mid-South. It was opened to the public in 1960. The ingenious system of artificial brooks, ponds, recycling fountains, cascading waterfalls and a collection of boxwood are survivors of the original landscaping. Several plant collections and gardens have been added to Cheekwood in the years since it became a public attraction: The Wills Garden, dedicated in 1981, displays iris and other perennials along winding paths; "Wildings," once the wildflower garden of Mrs. H.A. Howe, was transplanted to Cheekwood after her death in 1967; in the three circular areas of Burr Garden, roses, herbs and perennials are emphasized. A path through this section is bordered by 1,600 azaleas. Other highlights include the Daffodil Garden, Herb Study Garden and Mustard Meadow, where the mustard indigenous to Nashville forms a yellow carpet in early April. Four greenhouses (5,000 sq. ft.) display orchids, camellias and in the Cloud Forest Greenhouse, "a little piece of Central America"--bromeliads, and other epiphyses and plants native to Central America recreate a tropical environment.

The Cincinnati Nature Center, Cincinnati, OH
Hours open vary with daylength check the website: http://www.cincynature.org/hours.html
The Cincinnati Nature Center, Cincinnati, OH was made famous by Elizabeth Lawrence's descriptions of owner Carl Krippendorf in her book Little Bulbs and the in the pamphlet/small book Lobs Wood after his death. on the website it is described as follows: "In 1898, Carl Krippendorf purchased 97 acres of the land where he spent the summer recuperating to preserve it from becoming a tobacco field. In the heart of his beloved woods, Carl built a home for his new bride, Mary, where they lived for 64 years. Carl and Mary invited everyone they knew to experience the land they loved and affectionately called, "Lob's Wood." It has often been said that no one left the Krippendorf property empty handed. Carl was known to give daffodil, Lycoris and other bulbs to his visitors. Today, Krippendorf Lodge, thousands of daffodils, and the beautiful beech and maple woods continue to preserve the Krippendorf legacy at Rowe Woods in Milford." Now known as Rowe Woods after the leader of a group of 13 "dedicated environmentalists" who worked to preserve the site for future generations. Correspondence continues between Win Dunwell and Mary Clark Stambaugh, Mr. Krippendorf's grandaughter an avid gardener in Newtown, CT.

The Missouri Botanical Garden was first opened to the public in 1859 by Henry Shaw. It is located on 79 acres in the City of St. Louis near Interstate 44. The Missouri Botanical Garden is home to over 30 different gardens, the Climatron , a world famous Botanical Research Center, an active Education Division, The Missouri Botanical Garden Library, and much more. The Missouri Botanical Garden's mission is to discover and share knowledge about plants and their environment in order to preserve and enrich life.
The Shaw Nature Preserve, previously know as the Shaw Arboretum, an extension of the Missouri Botanical Garden, includes 2,500 acres of natural Ozark landscape and managed plant collections. Located 35 miles southwest of St. Louis in Gray Summit, Missouri, it provides environmental education, ecological research and public enjoyment of the natural world. The Arboretum was founded by the Garden in 1925 when coal smoke from the city threatened the living plant collections housed at the Garden. Though the orchid collection was moved to the Arboretum in 1926, pollution in the city cleared before it was necessary to move the entire plant collection. The Arboretum features a variety of settings in which visitors may enjoy the out-of-doors. The Pinetum is a 55-acre park-like expanse of meadows studded with plantings of conifers from around the world. In spring it comes alive with thousands of Narcissus and flowering trees. The Whitmire Wildflower Garden is a five-acre concentration of natural beauty in the form of Missouri and eastern U.S. native wildflowers in naturalistic plantings, accented by native grasses, shrubs and trees. The Shaw Arboretum Ecological Reserve contains 13 miles of hiking trails through a full array of Ozark Border landscapes, including floodplain forest, oak-hickory woods, glades, bluffs, tall-grass prairie, savanna and marsh wetlands. The latter three are landscapes which once covered much of Missouri and are being restored or recreated from former farmland in the Arboretum. The Joseph H. Bascom Manor House, an elegant brick mansion, built in 1879 contains a splendid array of exhibits made possible by a challenge grant from the Missouri Department of Conservation. The exhibits, entitled "People on the Land", illustrate the broad environmental and conservation themes so important to the Arboretum's mission.
Tower Grove Park is another donation of Henry Shaw to the citizens of St. Louis; in 1868. On the web site it sates -- The mission of Tower Grove Park is "to be an exemplary, well preserved and well presented, wooded Victorian park of national significance that provides important recreational, educational, and cultural opportunities for the public in a way that is compatible with its unique and historic character." Long time director, John Karel, is accredited with maintaining and renovating this park in both it's historic aesthetic and in a progressive manner that is of benefit to the citizens of the St. Louis and the many visitors.

Docents are available for special tours, but must be booked in advance.
The 100-acre Arboretum is located on Alumni Drive on the campus of the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Kentucky. The Arboretum seeks to help people experience Kentucky's rich natural heritage and demonstrate the results of human selection of outstanding plant materials. The Arboretum was begun in 1991 as a joint project of the University of Kentucky and Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government. There is a 2-acre home demonstration garden that uses combinations of plants and landscape structures to show how plants can be used in the residential landscape. It includes vegetable and herb gardens, home fruit and nut gardens, beds for evaluating flowering annuals, perennials, and ground covers and woody plants for landscape use. The Walk Across Kentucky is an incredible display of native plants. University faculty and students collected seed of plants from the seven physiographic areas of Kentucky, grew the plants from seed to landscape size, and then with the help of UK Grounds and Maintenance planted the two-mile trail. A restoration of the 16-acre savannah woodland called Walnut Woods is ongoing.
A water feature was installed by Kentucky nurseryman Rob Roberts and A. J. Powell's Turf Program has installed turf demonstration plots where turf types can be seen in lawn areas.

The Western Kentucky Botanical Garden (WKBG) is the result of the vision of a group of Master Gardeners in Daviess County. It was established in 1993 when the eight acres of land where the gardens stand were donated by a local doctor and his wife. Another generous donation of a house that was moved to the site last year now serves as a visitors' center. The WKBG currently has six completed gardens: the Butterfly, Rose, Daylily, Iris, Herb, and Fruit and Berry Gardens. An Ericaceous Garden is in progress and they are currently hard at work planning a children's garden.
Sara Martin, email@example.com, WKBG volunteer, wrote "On behalf of the Board and the volunteers at WKBG, I'd like to invite you to visit with us when you're traveling in Western Kentucky".
The entrance to the gardens is through the Thompson-Berry Soccer complex off of 2nd Street at the western edge of Owensboro. They are presently trying to raise the approximately $50K needed to open a road leading directly to the gardens.

Ways to Give
You can become a member of the Bergen family with a gift to the Foundation. The Foundation accepts gifts in all amounts-no gift is too small. Gifts may be designated for a specific use, or they may be directed to the Foundation's unrestricted fund to be used wherever it is most needed within the College.
A contribution to the "Securing Our Future Endowed Scholarship Fund" will help ensure available scholarship dollars for deserving students for generations to come. With a gift of $10,000 or more, you can establish a named endowment in an area of importance to you, your family, or your corporation. Whatever the purpose, a contribution that will benefit the residents of this community for years to come.
Since 1965, Bergen Community College has played a significant role in providing educational opportunities for the residents of this community. Each year, approximately 33,000 students enroll in credit-bearing or continuing education courses. Although county and state taxes have made much of this possible, in recent years less than 20 percent of the College's annual operating budget was state and county funded. The balance is raised through tuition and student fees, student aid, grants, and private fundraising initiatives coordinated by the Bergen Community College Foundation.
Through private fundraising efforts, the Bergen Community College Foundation seeks to bridge the gap between limited government funding and those resources critical to the College. Total contributions received by the BCC foundation since its inception in 1982 have surpassed the $17 million mark.

Reba McEntire and Brad Paisley Meet Former President George H.W. Bush
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo was full of excitement in 2014, but it wasn't just because of the bucking broncos! Reba McEntire and Brad Paisley both had the chance to meet with former president George H.W. Bush, and they were more than a little elated.
Paisley played the Houston Rodeo on March 4, while McEntire took the stage on March 6, but both acts took to social media to share their excitement of rubbing shoulders with the president.
The red-headed songstress even shared a picture on Instagram, writing, "#rodeohouston with 3 of my favorite people in the world!! President and Mrs. George Bush and Narvel." In the photo, she's seem beaming at the camera, her arms around the former president an his wife and her own husband by her side.
Paisley also had the chance to meet Bush, who was reportedly unable to make his set. Instead of taking a formal shot, the funny star opted for a 'selfie.' Although millions of people take pictures of themselves daily, it's safe to say that the 'I Can't Change the World' singer is one of the few who have one with Bush!
Kickin off the Houston rodeo tonight. Since everyone's into taking selfies now,here's my submission. @GeorgeHWBush pic.twitter.com/EKAy7YIvI8

Minister Yishai declares Grass persona non grata (YNetNews.Com -Yedioth Internet) Attila Somfalvi Published: 04.08.12, 12:35)

Interior Minister Eli Yishai declared Guenter Grass Persona non grata in Israel, this after the German Nobel literature laureate published a poem in which he criticized Israel´s nuclear program and labeled the Jewish state a threat to "already fragile world peace" over its stance on Iran.
Yishai´s move means that Grass, 84, would not be permitted to enter Israel if he asked to do so. "Grass´ poems fan the flames of hatred against Israel and the Israeli people, thus promoting the idea he was a part of when donned an SS uniform. His distorted poems are not welcome in Israel and might receive a following in Iran," the minister said.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman called the poem "an expression of the cynicism of some the West´s intellectuals, who, for publicity purposes and the desire to sell a few more books, are willing to sacrifice the Jewish nation a second time on the altar of crazy anti- Semites."
Lieberman stressed that Israel expects European governments to call out against such statements made by public opinion leaders. "We´ve witnessed in the past how small seeds of anti-Semitic hatred can turn into a big blaze that hurts all of humanity," he said.
The FM made the comments during a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti in Jerusalem.
The poem, which was published in European dailies earlier this week, drew harsh criticism in Germany and around the world, with the German Welt newspaper calling Grass "the eternal anti-Semite."
"Grass is the prototype of the educated anti-Semite who means well with the Jews. He is hounded by guilt and feelings of shame and at the same time is driven by the wish to weigh up history," the newspaper wrote on Wednesday.
On Thursday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also slammed Grass, saying: "The shameful comparison he made between Israel and Iran says very little about Israel but speaks volumes about Mr. Grass."
"It´s Iran, not Israel, that endorses the Syrian massacre. It´s Iran, not Israel that pelts women with stones, hangs homosexuals and brutally suppresses tens of millions of its citizens," Netanyahu said.
The author, for his part, explained that he was singling out the Jewish state´s government, not the country as a whole. (Copyright 2012 © Yedioth Internet 04/08/12)

Bitrate modeling of scalable videos using quantization parameter, frame rate and spatial resolution
Azad, Salahuddin, Song, Wei, & Tjondronegoro, Dian W. (2010) Bitrate modeling of scalable videos using quantization parameter, frame rate and spatial resolution. In 35th International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, IEEE, Sheraton Dallas Hotel, Texas, pp. 2334-2337.
Published Version
(PDF 261kB)
The quality and bitrate modeling is essential to effectively adapt the bitrate and quality of videos when delivered to multiplatform devices over resource constraint heterogeneous networks. The recent model proposed by Wang et al. estimates the bitrate and quality of videos in terms of the frame rate and quantization parameter. However, to build an effective video adaptation framework, it is crucial to incorporate the spatial resolution in the analytical model for bitrate and perceptual quality adaptation. Hence, this paper proposes an analytical model to estimate the bitrate of videos in terms of quantization parameter, frame rate, and spatial resolution. The model can fit the measured data accurately which is evident from the high Pearson correlation. The proposed model is based on the observation that the relative reduction in bitrate due to decreasing spatial resolution is independent of the quantization parameter and frame rate. This modeling can be used for rate-constrained bit-stream adaptation scheme which selects the scalability parameters to optimize the perceptual quality for a given bandwidth constraint.

Investing Strategies For 20-Somethings
3 Things Advisers Are Doing to Get Millennials Excited About Investing Again
We're thrilled to present this smart Business Insider story here on Savvy!
It's no big secret that millennials are scared silly at the thought of investing in the stock market.
With employment still sputtering along and home ownership little more than a pipe dream, the so-called graduates of the recession are mainly focused on finding a job and investing in what they need to get by.
"We look at where they are almost similar to a generational thing we saw in the 1930s," said Chris Hobart, a financial adviser. "These investors look at money totally different than their parents did, and they see the stock market as being extremely scary and that the opportunity may not be worth the potential."
This wary outlook has made it harder for financial advisers to lure young investors into stocks and savings vehicles in general, wrote Jane Hodges in the Journal. Advisers are having to come up with new and unique ways to get millennials excited about financial planning, but what's surprising is that many of these tactics aren't all that new to begin with. Here, we outline a couple trends taking hold among Gen Y investors:
Investing like Buffett
Perhaps the biggest step in getting millennials to plan for the long-term is changing their mindset, said Hobart. (See why having the wrong mindset might be keeping you poor.)
"Adopting the Warren Buffett approach tends to get them interested," he said. "The idea is that they should find something that people need or want, understand why they need or want that and then buy it."
Drawing from everyday experience makes the act of investing feel more accessible to millennials, he said. It feels like less of a chore.
Hobart has also found that Gen Y — early 30-somethings included — tends to gravitate more toward privately-owned shares of tangible products such as oil and gas.
"Being a small owner of a small piece of land that produces oil represents a larger value," he said, noting Gen Y's desire for a sense of ownership despite its reliance on the Cloud and social media. "It gives the investment a solid feeling."
For what else is working, keep reading.
Build your own pension
The most surprising trend to take hold among millennials is their embrace of fixed and fixed rate annuities, savings vehicles that provide a fixed rate of return, much like Grandma's Certificate of Deposit.
"With more companies moving away from pensions, a lot of investors in their 20s and 30s like the idea of building their own pensions," said Hobart.
For those who saw their early boomer parents lose their jobs and pension and watch their Social Security prospects all but dwindle, Gen Y wants a guarantee that they won't outlive their income stream. (See how to protect your pension.)
The more popular of the vehicles, fixed rate annuities, provide "an income-generating guarantee" that lets investors enjoy the upside of the market—by paying interest based on index growth—and erasing the downside by not reducing returns when the market tumbles.
Millennials can plan to turn this investment "on" in retirement, which Hobart says is a "nice way to diversify what you're doing" when you're feeling particularly skittish.
Another big trend to emerge in recent years is the souped-up, ultra-personalized portfolio. Though this investment isn't news per se, millennials appreciate the DIY sense they get from creating a folder of investments that suits their interests and goals. (See why you shouldn't play the loser's game in the stock market.)
Once only available to millionaires and those with exceptionally high net worth, now anyone with $5,000 kicking around can choose the investment that suits them rather than blindly opt for six mutual funds that represent whatever the company is trading on.
Tell us: Are you a millennial investor? How did you get started, and what advice would you share with someone just starting out?

Ferry disaster memorial should be in Destrehan
Our View - Oct 19, 2006
It was a tragic morning in St. Charles Parish October 20, 1976 when the Luling-Destrehan ferry was struck by the 750-foot tanker Frosta and sunk. Of the 94 aboard, 78 died.
When the news came through that fateful morning about the tragic accident, it was hard to accept by everyone in St. Charles. Family members, friends and those who worked with the victims wept openly for many days, almost not believing that it could have happened.

Prof Samad should have his contract as head of the Berbice campus renewed
Dear Editor,
In Berbice, the University of Guyana Berbice Campus (UGBC) is a vital institution. It has been transformed into this by the vision and good leadership of Prof Daizal Samad. Under his guidance it is now a respected learning centre, an institution that is flexible and can educate and help to make Berbice better. Farmers can now have assistance in identifying plant diseases and display better care for their crops through access to agri scientists and students.
When dead fish washed up and worms were found in fish, UGBC did the lab and student study. The country as a whole benefits from programmes to assist with police training and teacher training; the community benefits from using its grounds to put on cultural and religious shows; and businesses have access to consult with staff for research and development. Under the Professor, no one is left out.
Prof Samad's vision is to make this institution a body that serves the people of Berbice. His doors are open to the public, he is open to ideas and he is a Berbician who lives here and understands the problems facing the people.
He maintains that UGBC must always be a positive influence in Berbice to support the creation of new jobs with more skills, technologies, better education, and applying high standards and best practices. He does not believe in mediocrity; he believes in excellence. He also believes that every one of us can learn from the other and strive to be a little kinder, more compassionate and respectful to our fellow Berbicians. And this is the way he serves UGBC and Berbice – with respect, love and care.
When he arrived at UGBC the situation was different. UGBC was a laughing stock with no respect. Many parents objected to their children attending it because of the poor quality of the teaching and the absenteeism of the lecturers; it was a place of ill repute and poor security. In short, many said to me that it was a place to waste time. The serious students stressed that they had to tough it out – what else to do?
The UGBC today is very much changed.
It is a respected institution, enrolment is up attracting students from all over Berbice, the students are happy, the faculty is greatly improved in quality, and it is now dedicated to serve all the people of Berbice. I know this because I have seen it with my own eyes.
Prof Samad's transformation of UGBC is not complete. He believes that at UGBC excellence must be a habit, great service the norm, and the campus must be a leader for growth in the economy through its graduates who will be entrepreneurs in all sorts of businesses. He also believes it should produce enough trained and qualified persons for the future skills required, and that Berbicians must not eke out a living but must have good jobs, earn decent wages and live in a safe and secure Berbice.
This is not a person who is about himself. Professor Samad respects us, the simple taxpayers. He asks us to question him. Who else does that?
I support the extension of Prof Samad's tenure so that he can continue his good work at UGBC and in Berbice and Guyana. Let us remove any uncertainty as to the continuity of the programmes he has developed and those who believe in his vision and are working assiduously for the benefit of the campus and the people and children of Berbice and Guyana.
Yours faithfully,
Prak Tamesar

During forenoon notice a distinct terra-cotta or biscuit colour in the stratus clouds to the north.
Here are situated stratus and Trichonium, which has an excellent soil.
Through the gloom it appeared like a cloud, the lines of bedding giving to it the stratus character.
As the Cumulus belongs to the day, so does the stratus to the night.
They assume at different times and in different seasons, different shapes like those of the scud, the cumulus, or the stratus.
The stratus, an extended continuous level sheet of cloud, increasing from beneath.
It is of variable extent and thickness, and is called stratus, a bed or covering.
The wind lulled, and heavy clouds of stratus appeared in the east, towards evening.
Is the stratus of the upper regions of the atmosphere, heavier looking than the cirrus, but not so heavy as the stratus.
In the wet season they grow into the nimbus and stratus types that precede a sudden downpour of water or a furious hailstorm.
"a low layer of cloud," 1803, from Latin stratus "a spreading," from stratus, past participle of sternere (see stratum).
Plural strati (strāt'ī, strā'tī)
A diffuse, grayish cloud that often produces drizzle and is formed primarily in altitudes no higher than 2,000 m (6,560 ft). A stratus cloud close to the ground or water is called fog. See illustration at cloud.

I am currently working on License Plate Recognition, where I
have successully been able to segment the images using
morphological analysis and also read the data using
morphological analysis(thanks to Diego Barrag?n Guerrero
I have also been able to get satisfactory results. But some
how I feel that probably getting the skew of the image first
would be more important to analyze some of the segmented
images which I am currently not able to read.
It is somewhere along the lines using Hough Transform..
Does anyone have this code for the skew of an segmented image.
Also, would Neural Networks be a more sophisticated and a
better approach than morphological character recognition
approach or any other approach would be better for this kind
of recognition

Curmudgeon and self-proclaimed genius Boris Yellnikoff (David) reluctantly shelters dippy, homeless, runaway-teen Southern belle Melody (Wood) and in a senior moment marries her. Complications arrive in the shapes of Melodys outraged mama (Clarkson), her
Woody Allen's latest is both utterly characteristic and creepily off. Originally written for Zero Mostel in the 1970s, it went into limbo when Mostel died. It should have stayed there. Mostel could play a semi-monstrous character and still come off as lovable. Updated and centred on the misanthropic musings of washed-up quantum physicist Boris Yellnikoff, as played by the decidedly unlovable Larry David, Whatever Works is a Dirty Old Man's fantasy and one long Grumpy Old Man rant.
Boris was "almost" nominated for a Nobel Prize but his disaffection with the world has seen him lose his professorship, leave his attractive, wealthy wife and fail a suicide attempt. When he isn't holding forth to tolerant buddies he teaches chess to children he berates. The very familiar worldview of Boris makes one wonder why Woody didn't play the transparent alter ego of a role himself, instead of deflecting it onto a too-strident David, who is not much of an actor despite his excruciating brilliance as his sour TV 'self'. Diatribes are what he does, and Allen obliges with non-stop bellyaches about religion, politics and life's meaninglessness. Not that we haven't been warned. In his first monologue to camera Boris announces, "Just so you know, this is not the feelgood movie of the year." No kidding.
Initially, Boris is a fitfully witty grouch when he's quoting his cultural touchstones ("The horror! The horror!"), but as his riffing is interrupted by the uncomfortable plot (Evan Rachel Wood's "sub-mental baton twirler" is young enough to be his granddaughter), the real horror sets in. The Southerners are caricatures of right-wing repression, while the liberal New Yorkers are no more attractive. Not even Patricia Clarkson can do anything with what she's been handed.
Even as an Allen fan with the proper respect for over 45 years of highly individual work and almost 50 films, many of them masterpieces, it has to be acknowledged: this is awful. And as further evidence that the Woodman's lost it, who ever heard of an Englishman called Randy?
Tragically making Vicky Cristina Barcelona look like a happy accident, Whatever Works is retro Allen that smacks of desperation.

Hey guys,
so I got this puzzle, difficulty 11/10, so it says on the box. It's only 100 pieces, but all of them look kinda the same, they are just blue. I was told doing puzzles helps to calm down, has a relaxing effect on the soul.
After I've spent over an hour of my precious time, I have puzzled together all pieces:
my life sucks
Sheeesh relaxing ! lol
It's a post-modern puzzle! The missing piece is symbolic of… don't know what.
You know what they say about it being all about the journey, and not the destination…
Reflect on what you've learned on that hour!
Someone at the factory was trolling
cmoreira said
Reflect on what you've learned on that hour!
oh I already did that:
my life sucks
the good part is: after I have finished the border, I continued assembling it from bottom to the top, row after row. since all pieces look equal, i just tried every one if it fits.
If I had started the other way round, I would still sit there, trying to find the first fitting puzzle piece…
So what is it a picture of, an ice castle?
it's called "Puzzle in a Paint Tin", it shows a picture of a blue painted… anything.
the structure you can see are the lines from the brush that's been used. But they didn't help as much as you might hope…
I have to say that puzzle looks like a pain in the ass.
Made in China?

RFF Archive > The Amazing Race 22
TAR 22 Scheduling-Airing Times-Delays
<< < (7/17) > >>
that's right!
CBS has sent out an advance eye-lert this afternoon:
--- Quote ---CBS Sports live coverage of NCAA Basketball on Sunday will likely delay start times for 60 Minutes, The Amazing Race, The Good Wife and The Mentalist.
If so, you will receive a message on Sunday with exact details of revised start times.
--- End quote ---
Consider yourselves warned!
This from facebook:
CBSEyeAlert: due to live NCAA basketball Sunday, the start time for The Amazing Race could be delayed East/Central Zones ONLY. Check here for updates!
The NCAA Sunday later game for the New York metro area (and I bet for much of the nation) is North Carolina vs. Kansas, with tipoff scheduled for 515pm pm. That means we could expect about a 715pm start time for 60 Minutes. However, these things could delay it:
1. an overtime for the prior CBS game at 245pm (Indiana vs. Temple)
2. overtime for North Carolina vs. Kansas
3. a CBS decision to also televise the ending of another game (note- this is unlikely to occur since the only other game in progress then will be Minnesota vs. Florida on TNT)
A delay in the Indiana/Temple game will not cause a delay for the North Carolina/Kansas game because they are being held in different arenas. (Indiana/Temple is in Dayton, UNC/Kansas is in Kansas City)
Therefore, the only things that will delay 60 minutes are scenarios 2 or 3 you had listed. Scenario 1 will not cause a delay in the CBS lineup.
