George Osborne has described being "shocked" to discover that some of the wealthiest people in the country pay "virtually no" income tax.
The Chancellor said he had seen "anonymised" tax returns submitted by multi-millionaires using aggressive avoidance schemes to dramatically reduce their tax bills.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) found that the income tax rate among some of the highest earners was, on average, only 10%.
Mr Osborne said the HMRC study convinced him of the need to "take action" to ensure high earners pay more income tax.
In last month's Budget he limited how much people could offset their tax bills by investing in businesses or donating to charity. Anyone seeking to claim more than £50,000 of tax relief in any one year will have a cap set at 25% of their income from 2013.
HMRC found hundreds of millions of pounds of income tax is avoided by using legal loopholes to reduce their bills. The main methods included writing off business losses, offsetting the cost of business mortgages, and borrowing on buy-to-let properties - all against their income tax bill. Others took advantage of tax relief on donations to charity.
"I was shocked to see that some of the very wealthiest people in the country have organised their tax affairs, and to be fair it's within the tax laws, so that they were regularly paying virtually no income tax. And I don't think that's right," Mr Osborne told The Daily Telegraph. "I'm talking about people right at the top. I'm talking about people with incomes of many millions of pounds a year. The general principle is that people should pay income tax and that includes people with the highest incomes."
Charities have warned that limiting tax relief on donations will reduce philanthropic giving. But Mr Osborne said: "I was very clear in the Budget that we are specifically looking at making sure we are still encouraging philanthropy and charitable giving. But that is a specific issue we can deal with."
Mr Osborne has been criticised by Labour for cutting the top rate of income tax from 50p to 45p, in a move that will cut the tax bills of people earning more than £150,000 a year. But he said the 50p rate introduced by the last Labour government was "spin over substance".
"You produce a press release which says Britain has a 50p tax rate while you preside over a tax system where some people are paying zero per cent tax," he said. "I've come up with a Budget that has reduced the 50p rate to 45p, so we don't have the highest income tax rate in the world. But I've also asked people who are currently paying zero to pay income tax."

The National Thoroughbred Racing Association Safety and Integrity Alliance is seeking public comment on its activities in advance of the release of an annual report in late December.
Tommy Thompson, a former federal and state official who serves as independent monitor for the alliance, is preparing the year-end report. The alliance was formed in the fall of 2008, and this year began accrediting racetracks under its code of standards.
The alliance was formed to establish standards and practices that promote safety and integrity in horse racing, and to work toward their implementation.
The NTRA in a Nov. 25 release said Thompson has set up an e-mail address (firstname.lastname@example.com) at which the public can comment "on any aspect of the alliance." Comments must be submitted by Dec. 1.
The alliance will figure prominently during the University of Arizona Symposium on Racing & Gaming Dec. 8-10. According to a schedule, the alliance will be discussed on three occasions; Thompson, former governor of Wisconsin and secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, will address attendees during one presentation.
So far, 12 racetracks have been fully accredited, and one provisionally accredited. Others have applied to submit to the review process.
In an earlier statement, Thompson said the "ultimate goal of this project is to provide an independent examination of the alliance and to report to the public at large whether, in fact, progress is being made."

A Trust Evaluation Algorithm in P2P Network Based on Trust Model
The lack of stable node identity is the central problem in peer-to-peer network security. Based on the general characteristics of trust between social networking and P2P network, a trust model and an approach of evaluation trust in P2P network are proposed. An algorithm for computing the trust values is put forward based on the relationship among hosts, nodes and pseudonyms. The analyzes prove that the approach can ensure anonymity of host and defend P2P network against the Pseudo spoofing and ID stealth attacks.

text: OK, I admit I don't know the right place to post this one but "Fatties" seemed as good as any other option. This was an experiment that once it got started, turned into a bigger experiment. I thought I had a about a pound and a half of ground venison in the freezer and planned to make a pretty simple Venison Meatloaf fattie but, after defrosting it, I found out it was mild pre-seasoned and smoked venison sausage but by then, I was committed and decided to push on (with some changes). Since it was already seasoned and smoked, I was worried about it being too dry so I mixed the 1.5 lbs of venison sausage with about a pound of ground pork, 2 eggs, a chopped onion, 2 tbspns Worcester sauce, 1 tbspn BBQ sause. 1 tspn yellow mustard, a package of Onion Soup mix and a heaping handful of bacon bits. Mixed it up good, lined a loaf pan with plastic wrap and filled it up with about 50% of the meatloaf mix. In the middle, I added about 1/8 lb sliced sharp cheddar cheese, a chopped up large mushroom and more bait bits. After that I added the rest of the meatloaf mix wrapped it all with plastic and, into the frig to chill for about an hour or so. While it was chilling, I made a bacon weave with thick cut bacon and dusted with Applewood BBQ dust. When it was cool, I coated the top of the meatloaf with BBQ sauce then coated the top with shredded cheddar cheese, inverted over the bacon weave and coated the sides and bottom with more BBQ then wrapped it up again to chill some more about 30 minutes. I wasn't cooking it in anything and wanted it to be cool to minimize the chance of it falling apart. Afterwards, I put it on an Ace Hardware grilling/smoking aluminum pan to smoke because I wanted teh grease to have holes to drain away from it. Into the smoker at 270* 2.5 hours with cherry (smoker started at 270 but probably averaged closer to 260* over the whole whole smoking time. Pulled it when my Maverick read 162*. Came out really well, my wife loved it and usually is not real fond of venison (ground Bambi). It was very moist, didn't fall apart and the cheese, mushroom and bacon stuffing stayed in the middle. I'll do this one again!

Behaving ethically is one aspect of being a competent professional, both as a sign of character but also as a sign of social intelligence (practitioners who behave unethically run the risk of losing their licenses and, thus, their livelihoods). I was recently doing research for an article that will touch on the ethics of professionals using questionable methods, and so I checked online the American Psychological Association's "2002 Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct, Including 2010 Amendments," to see what it has to say on the topic. The answer, which surprised me (my practice is entirely consultative, so I had not read the document for a while), was "almost nothing." The reason I inserted the qualifier "almost" is because there are at least two statements about the importance of using valid methods when engaged in psychological testing, but I did not find a single such statement when it comes to doing psychotherapy.
Following are two statements I found regarding the need to use valid testing methods; they are located in section 9.02 "Use of Assessments": "(a) psychologists administer, adapt, score, interpret or use assessment techniques, interviews, tests or instruments in a manner and for purposes that are appropriate in light of the research on or evidence of the usefulness and proper application of the techniques" and (b) "psychologists use assessment instruments whose validity and reliability have been established for use with members of the population tested. …"
Here is what I found on the need to avoid non-valid methods in the section (number 10), which addresses the ethics of psychologists when conducting psychotherapy: bupkis (a Yiddish word which literally means "beans" but idiomatically means "nothing"). There are statements about offering termination counseling (which all too often consists of trying to talk the client out of leaving), avoidance of conflicts of interest, obtaining informed consent, dealing with a therapist who is sharing one's client, engaging in sexual intimacies ("don't"), and so on. About the form of therapy used, there is not a word. (There have undoubtedly been therapists in the past who tried to convince clients that sex with themselves would be therapeutic, but they can no longer make that argument, not because it is an invalid form of therapy but because it involves sex).
To see if the absence of any mention of this issue was restricted to the psychology profession, I checked the ethics codes of three other professions whose members routinely practice psychotherapy: psychiatry, counseling, and social work. All three have professional organizations, and these have published ethics codes that, like the psychology code, are accessible online.
In examining the 2010 edition of the "American Psychiatric Association's Principles of Medical Ethics With Annotations Especially Applicable to Psychiatry," I also found no statement about the requirement to use validated methods, other than a vague admonition to keep up with the scientific literature and seek additional training when needed. The ethical standards are very similar to the ones in place for psychologists, except that there is more mention of money: charging for a missed appointment is okay, while fee-splitting is not okay. I found only one mention of a specific intervention modality, and that was acupuncture: it is okay for a psychiatrist (who by definition is also a physician) to perform acupuncture, but only if he or she is qualified to do so.
The 2014 Code of Ethics of the American Counseling Association is the most detailed with regard to psychotherapy, as one might expect of a profession where therapy is pretty much their only activity, unlike psychology, social work and even psychiatry (where pill-prescribing is now job one). The level of detail is impressive, even down to the level of whether it is okay for a therapist to attend a client's wedding (answer: okay if it benefits the client). Evidence of any statement regarding the need to use only validated therapy modalities ? None that I could find. Interestingly, although counselors do not do assessments at anything like the frequency of psychologists, the ACA has statements about the need to only use validated testing methods that was similar to ones found in the APA code. The closest I found in the ACA code (and other professional codes) is an admonition to not do anything harmful to a client, without specifying what that might be. (Presumably, therapists who engage in wacky therapy practices do not consider them harmful or they would not use them).
The National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics was published in 1996, and has apparently not been revised since. The Code has a large number of headings, covering the many different roles which are played by social workers: administrators, researchers, social change agents, group workers, etc. Interestingly, even though individual psychotherapy is a major (maybe the most common) role played by social workers today, there is not even a section heading dealing with psychotherapy, let alone any statement requiring social workers to eschew questionable forms of psychotherapy.
Even though I did not expect anything to come out of it, I checked the ethical codes of two other professions—Nursing and Occupational Therapy—whose members sometimes engage in roles that come close to being considered psychotherapy. My interest in nursing stems from knowing that at one time some professors at the University of Colorado School of Nursing extolled the benefits of "no-touch massage" (basically, laying on of hands) until the State of Colorado legislature, which funds the school, put a stop to that highly questionable practice.
My interest in OT stems from my background in the Intellectual Disability field, and knowing that at one time (I am not sure if it is still the case), OT practitioners prescribed (and were paid well to provide) something called Snoezelen. It is a therapy modality developed in the Netherlands and is aimed at people with very severe cognitive impairments, who are laid on mats in a darkened room equipped with a variety of lava lamps (psychedelic-like lighted displays of moving bubbles that were big in the 70s drug culture) and moved around periodically to different stations, allegedly according to preference (although the people I saw it applied to were incapable of expressing preference).
Anyway, the results of my checking the Ethics codes for nurses and OTs regarding an obligation to use only validated therapy methods? Again, bupkis. However, the American Nursing Association, to its credit, does have a section requiring members to report "questionable practices" but does not provide any guidance regarding what those might be (such as absence of supporting efficacy research).The American Occupational Therapy Association, again to its credit, does have a statement about the need to promote OT based on "current knowledge and research", although they do not bring that down to the specific level of the therapies used. (Interestingly, the AOTA does have a statement about the need to use only validated assessment methods, even if they do not have a specific statement about the need to use only validated therapeutic methods ).
My interest in wacky therapeutic practice goes beyond my interest in ethics but mainly reflects my interest in gullibility (my 2009 book "Annals of Gullibility" was the first, and is still the only to my knowledge, comprehensive book on the topic of being duped). Although in that book I mainly addressed those who were gullible (and unfortunate) enough to become clients of professionals promoting wacky cures, I have also written, in a book edited by Jacobson and others on "fad" therapies, particularly with clients who have autism (a disorder that is a magnet for therapeutic fads). I proposed several contributing explanations for the gullibility of professionals. One of the factors was the poor level of training in some professions about ethics, about research methods and about specific disorders. For example, Special Educators (who, until recently, took no advanced courses on autism) were particularly enamored of something called Facilitated Communication, where non-verbal and non-literate clients were allegedly communicating complex abstract thoughts while their hands were being held over a keyboard by facilitators who claimed they were just providing control over the clients' motor apraxia (an explanation totally lacking in scientific support). When that explanation was attacked, some proponents even went so far to invoke ESP as an explanation.
Although I have never read any explanation for why the American Psychological Association and other professional groups have avoided formulating any statements about the need to use only validated therapies, it is not difficult to guess why that is the case. If such a statement were in place, and was actually implemented, at least half, and probably two-thirds, of all psychotherapists would be brought up on ethics charges and in danger of being driven out of business.
Furthermore, there would be open warfare among proponents of different forms of psychotherapy, with the result being chaos. For the fact is that there is no consensus regarding what is a valid form of psychotherapy, and few forms of therapy have been validated scientifically. As one example, consider psychoanalysis, at one time the gold standard for psychotherapy, and something still practiced by many psychologists and psychiatrists, even though its popularity has waned considerably in recent years. Where is the body of research showing that psychoanalysis actually helps people, or that its basic constructs and explanations are true? If there is such a body of research, I would be interested in seeing it. If that is true of a form of psychotherapy that still is considered somewhat mainstream, how much less likely is it to find such supporting research for the dozens of fad therapies that crop up on a regular basis? Most likely, the reason why the two APA's (and the other professional groups) have not gone after fad therapies is because it would expose practitioners of the more established therapies to the same charge of being non-scientific. To be a little cynical, another likely explanation is that the majority of members have too much of a financial stake in the status quo to allow such a provision to be put into effect.
I want to end by saying a little about what it means to be a true profession (an ethics code is essentially an obligation statement that reflects not only general principles of ethics, but the nature and essence of a particular profession). I will also say why I believe that the practice of psychotherapy has not yet (and likely never will) attain that status.
There are multiple qualities that go into designating a particular occupation or mode of work as a profession, and there are some occupations that are in a transitional state (elementary school teaching is an example) which do not yet exhibit all of these qualities and, thus, can be designated what Etzioni termed "semi-professions." Among the qualities that define a profession are: specialized and lengthy training, independent and autonomous practice, licensure dependent on passing of difficult tests, colleague control, high standards of excellence, ethics codes with active enforcement mechanisms and which everyone is expected to know, and most importantly a core body of knowledge with a clear definition of what is considered competent application of that core body of knowledge.
While psychologists meet many if not most of those requirements (although state licensure testing is difficult only if one has not read a text for a beginning psychology course), I would argue that there is no core body of scientific knowledge that applies across the board, except in narrow and highly specialized areas. Psychological assessment is clearly one of those areas, which is why psychological testing is one of the few content areas in the APA's ethics code that requires psychologists to only use scientifically valid methods.
To get some perspective on what a true profession does with regard to requiring use only of scientifically validated methods, take a look at the 2007-updated Code of Ethics for the National Society of Professional Engineers. The document contains at least half a dozen statements along the lines of "engineers shall not complete, sign, or seal plans and/or specifications that are not in conformity with applicable engineering standards…"
When psychologists engage in psychotherapy, there are essentially no professional limits on what they can do, except for general ethical statements about such things as remuneration, maintaining proper boundaries, conflicts of interest and the like. When it comes to specific professional activities, the code or psychologists and professions rarely go beyond very general statements such as "do not inflict harm." With regard to Beneficence (the ethical principle to "do good"), one of the ethics codes reviewed even mistakenly described it as "be kind," which is a nice way to behave, but not exactly the same thing as the intended "be effective." While individual therapy modalities (such as behavior therapists) often have their own quality assurance mechanisms, the basic principle guiding the semi-profession of psychotherapy seems to be caveat emptor, which translates as "let the buyer beware."

Hamstring injury lands Borbon on 15-day DL
Hamstring injury lands Borbon on 15-day DL
Borbon, who reported after the game that he's felt some tightness in his hamstring the past few days, said he felt a slight pull as he took a few steps when he broke for the ball hit by Angels catcher Hank Conger in the seventh inning. He said he didn't go full speed for the ball, trying to avoid a pop in the hamstring and a more significant injury.
Chavez will be seeing his first big league action since suffering a season-ending right knee injury with Seattle on June 19, 2009. He played only eight games in the Minors last season as he returned from the injury, batting .387 (12-for-31) across three levels. He was in camp with the Rangers this spring, batting .270 (10-37) with three doubles and one RBI in 22 games.
The Rangers also announced that they transferred pitcher Brandon Webb to the 60-day DL. Webb opened the season on the 15-day DL as he continues to return from right rotator cuff surgery. His time on the 60-day DL is retroactive to Opening Day, meaning he is eligible to be activated on May 30.

Since then, Auburn has relied on city police to patrol campus, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution [1] reported. Lauren Burk's parents also allege that the university failed to follow federal security recommendations. They are suing the Alabama Board of Adjustment for $1 million in damages; the state's constitution protects state entities (including Auburn) from lawsuits seeking monetary damages. An Auburn spokesman reached for comment said, "It is Auburn University's policy not to comment on pending investigative issues."

A woman was killed yesterday at Highway 18 and Issaquah Hobart Road south...
A woman was killed yesterday at Highway 18 and Issaquah Hobart Road south of Issaquah, after her car collided with a pickup, according to the King County Sheriff's Office.
The woman was turning onto Issaquah Hobart Road from Highway 18 about 4:15 p.m. when her car was hit by the pickup in a T-bone collision, said sheriff's spokesman John Urquhart.
The woman was in her late 30s or early 40s.
Issaquah Hobart Road was closed while detectives investigated the accident.
Patrol car catches fire, halting traffic
Rush-hour traffic on Interstate 405 in downtown Bellevue came to a standstill yesterday afternoon after a State Patrol car was rear-ended and caught fire, according to the State Patrol.
The trooper, an arrestee in the trooper's car and the driver of the other car were taken to the hospital for evaluation of their injuries.
All southbound lanes and two northbound lanes of I-405 were closed while firefighters contained the fire, which may have been strengthened by ammunition inside the trooper's car, police said.
The accident happened about 4:50 p.m. while the trooper's car was on the left shoulder of the southbound lanes, south of Northeast Fourth Street, according to the State Patrol.
6-hour standoff ends as man surrenders
A 33-year-old Redmond man surrendered peacefully to police yesterday after a six-hour standoff at his home.
The man was distraught over family issues, and police arrived about 6:30 a.m. after receiving a tip from the man's wife, Redmond police spokeswoman Stacey Holland said.
He was unresponsive for most of the time that police negotiators and SWAT officers surrounded his home near the 16300 block of Northeast 104th Street. But he walked outside about 12:50 p.m. after talking to negotiators, Holland said.
Police evacuated 15 homes and closed three blocks of 104th Street during the standoff.
The man had two shotguns and a BB gun inside his home, but never used them.
Open house will explain city projects
An open house about the city of Woodinville's proposed $40 million in capital improvements will be held 5-6:30 p.m. Aug. 17 at City Hall, 17301 133rd Ave. N.E.
The open house will showcase proposed improvements to the Woodinville Community Center, congestion-relief projects along Highway 202 between Highway 522 and the Hollywood intersection, and critical resource-protection projects along Little Bear Creek, Woodin Creek and the Sammamish River.
Funding for the projects comes from real-estate excise taxes, development-impact fees, and admissions and utility taxes.
Officials identify car-crash victim
A 69-year-old man killed in an accident over the weekend in Issaquah has been identified as Lawrence Brown of Issaquah.
Brown died from head injuries suffered after his pickup veered off the road Saturday night at Newport Way Northwest and 12th Avenue Northwest, according to police and the King County Medical Examiner's Office.
His truck hit a light pole, went through a ditch and came to a stop in a parking lot, police said. Brown may have had an episode before the crash resulting from a medical problem, according to police.

This is a vine covered in yellow tubular blooms right now. Perhaps you have noticed it around town or in a few places in The State Botanical Garden of Georgia (look at the long arbor in the Heritage Garden.) This vine is native to the southeastern United States; in fact, it is the state flower of South Carolina. It grows to a manageable 10 to 20 feet and is not invasive. Once established, it is low maintenance, pest free and deer resistant. "Pride of Augusta," also known as "Plena," is a double-flowering form that won the 2008 Georgia Gold Medal Plant award in the vine category. Visit www.georgiagoldmedalplants.org to find out more.

Crime lab finds Clemons' blood on piece of firewood
Wisconsin crime lab experts today took turns hefting a piece of firewood that may have struck the killing blow to Myrna Clemons 15 years ago.
Over a foot long and at least five inches in diameter, the log is marked by a protruding knot and three spots where blood-stained bark was cut out for testing.
The blood on all three spots was from Clemons, DNA analyst Jennifer Zawacki testified in Douglas County Court today during the murder trial of Michael David Mattson.
Mattson, 56, faces one charge of first-degree murder for the 1993 beating death of Clemons in the Allouez home they shared. At the time, he was on Huber release while serving a jail sentence for two previous attacks on Clemons.
Finding blood on the wood is consistent with Mattson's Oct. 23, 2006, confession to the crime, which was aired in Douglas County Court Tuesday.
The audiotape starts like a coffee date.
"Hi," Mattson said to Capt. Chad La Lor of the Superior Police Department. He is then introduced to Det. Kirk Hill.
"Hi there, nice to meet you," said Mattson.
He then gets right to the point.
"Well, it seems like you got a good case against me and all so I'm confessing to the murder," Mattson told the officers. "Lock me up and throw away the key."
The rambling two-hour interview touches on everything from Clemons' dying screams to football; trips to Arizona and California to wood stoves; what Joe Fox did on his farm outside of Proctor to Mattson's visit to Clemons' grave.
Mattson mentions that he can't make ends meet and has no place to go.
"I want to be locked up," he says. "I do."
Under questioning, he gradually provided details of the day Clemons died. He remembered her wearing an old blue bathrobe that was worn nearly white. He remembered his brother finishing off a box of chips in the truck that afternoon. And he remembered the attack.
"After we loaded up the truck and we were getting ready to go, Jack was in the truck ... I went back in the house and got a piece of popple and hit Myrna in the head." Mattson said. Then, much more softly, he said, "That must have killed her."
He told the officers he picked up a piece of firewood from the porch. Hiding it behind his back, he knocked on the door and asked Clemons to open up. As she was opening the door, Mattson said, he hit her.
At first, Mattson couldn't recall why he did it. Maybe, he said, he was jealous that his brother was sharing his home with Clemons while he had to report to jail each night. Maybe it was triggered by the jail sentence he was serving.
"I'm a little mad at her, mad at her for turning me in for beating her up in November," Mattson said. "Maybe that came rushing in my head."
Mattson said he hit Clemons twice -- once on the forehead and once in the back of the head as she was falling down.
"We did knock the chair over, screaming," Mattson said. "And she fell right by the door. I shut the door and left."
He had to move Clemons' body a bit in order to shut the door.
Mattson also remembered burning the piece of wood he used to kill her. When questioned further by officers whether he burned it or not, Mattson appeared frustrated and said he has a poor memory.
When asked why he chose to turn himself in, Mattson said the guilt has been gnawing at him like a cancer for years.
"It's been wearing on me," he said. "She was a good woman and I just snapped that one time ... not just that one time ..."
As the interview resumed after a short break, his frustration once again surfaced.
"How hard is it to get arrested around here?" he asked.
Ken Olson, a forensic scientist, testified today that the majority of the blood stains on the log were impact stains -- also known as blood spatter -- which could be created by a beating.
"Usually the first blow does not create impact spatter," he said. "You need a source of blood to create a blood pattern."
If the knot on the log had broken the skin deep enough to hit a source of blood, he said, it could have created the impact spatter.
Blood spatter stains were also found on the front and sleeve of Clemons' robe. Olson testified they could have been caused by either a blow or blood being expirated through her nose and mouth during a CPR attempt.
The trial is expected to last through Friday.

"Nutrition for the Wellness Practice"
Courtyard Jacksonville Beach Oceanfront
Learning Objective and Course Description: To provide the clinician with a review of fundamental physiology and anatomy of the digestive system. A well-functioning digestive system is the cornerstone of good health. The digestive system is a portal for nutrients from the environment to gain access to the circulatory system. Before such transfer can occur, foodstuffs first have to be reduced to very simple molecules by a combination of mechanical and enzymatic degradation. The resulting sugars, amino acids, fatty acids and the like are then transported across the epithelium lining the intestine into blood

Neuroendocrine Dysfunction: Why Patients Have Trouble Getting Well
Presented by Scott Banks, DC
The body is controlled by an elaborate interaction between the nervous and endocrine systems. Control cannot be looked at as solely neural or endocrine but rather must be viewed as neuroendocrine to explain the balance of healthy function. This course looks at the interaction of these two systems with particular emphysis on the role the adrenal axis plays in the common health problems in the chiropractic practice. It also looks at the features of adrenal dysfunction that drive the chronicity and refractory healing of neuromusculoskeletal disorders, inflammation and oxidative stress.
The course offers nutritional solutions to many of the common problems that present to the chiropractic practice. It will also develop nutritional solutions to common co-presentations such as sleep dysfunction and fatigue. Expanding the ability to help these chronic symptoms that are not well addressed in the medical system opens new treatment opportunities.

Your donations keep RPGWatch running!
Kivi's Underworld - Review @ Bytten
by Dhruin, 2009-03-12 20:58:23
Yet another Kivi's Underworld review, with Bytten awarding a huge 92% to Soldak's casual hack'n'slasher:
Kivi's Underworld is described as a casual RPG, and this is pretty accurate. It combines the traditional RPG style (hunting monsters, finding secrets, leveling up, etc) with a much simpler interface. Kivi (or whichever character you are playing) is moved by clicking with the left mouse button. Click on a monster to attack it; click on a chest or door to open it; and so on. The right mouse button activates your special power, which varies with each character and requires mana. Both health and mana recharge slowly over time, and plenty of pickups (dropped by monsters or found in chests, barrels etc) replenish them faster.

Seoul (AFP) Mar 17, 2006
South Korea's highest court on Thursday rejected a petition to save a vast tract of coastal wetland threatened by the country's biggest land reclamation project. More than 40,000 hectares (98,800 acres) of wetlands at the mouth of two rivers at Saemangum on the southwest coast are scheduled to disappear beneath landfill.
Under the 2.05 trillion won (2.1 billion dollar) project launched in 1991, the wetlands will be replaced by farmland, a reservoir and an industrial zone.
Environmentalists had asked the Supreme Court to block the completion of the 33-kilometer-long (20-mile) seawall that will block two river estuaries and seal off the wetlands. Only a 2.7-kilometer section of the wall remains to be built.
Following the court ruling, the Agriculture and Forestry Ministry which has sponsored the reclamation project said it would complete construction of the seawall next month.
Environmentalists, along with a group of residents of the region, filed a joint suit in 2001 to block the project.
They won a victory in February 2005 when the Seoul Administrative Court ordered the government to stop or modify the project. But in December last year the government overturned that ruling on appeal.
"That lower court ruling is appropriate because there is no clear evidence to back up the claim by environmental groups that the project has no economic merit," the top court said in its 11-2 decision.
Conservationists say the project will destroy South Korea's most important wetlands area for shore birds and waterfowl, and erase a rich fishery and aquaculture resource and a irreplaceable natural asset.
They say the project, conceived in 1986 when the need for more farm production was a national priority, will create an environmental disaster without economic benefits because much farmland in South Korea is now unused as the rural population declines.
The governor of North Cholla province where the wetlands are located hailed the court ruling and urged conservationists to end their "unproductive" debate over the project, which was suspended for two years until March 2001 because of protests.
"From now on, we must push forward with the project," said governor Kang Kyong-Wook.
Environmental groups, however, said they would continue their campaign. "We will not stop our movement to save wetlands in Saemangum," Kim Hye-Chung, an activist from the Korean Wetlands Alliance, said in a statement.
"The Saemangum project will cause an ecological disaster in the region. We especially oppose the government's plan to block two rivers," she said.
On Wednesday hundreds of fishermen mobilized about 200 fishing boats in a protest against the reclamation project off Buan, a nearby national park.

It's been a little more than a year since my breast cancer diagnosis. So I celebrate a year of being cancer-free. My story shares a different perspective of dealing with the disease and more specifically the significance of what "extraordinary" things may happen to a woman internally.
As a mom who breast-fed all six of her children for three years, I was actually still breast-feeding when I found the lump in June 2001. I strongly encourage all women to do research, read and study and become proactive in your own health care as preventive measures. Always remember to do monthly self-exams, yearly doctor's visits and yearly mammograms. I was so surprised when I was diagnosed as I never smoked or drank alcohol nor had breast cancer been in my family.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Buddy Check 12 Reminder
The St. Augustine Record will join news partner First Coast News in its Buddy Check 12 reminder effort in the fight against breast cancer beginning today.
Buddy Check 12 has been a 10-year partnership between First Coast News and News Anchor Jeannie Blaylock and Baptist Health of Jacksonville.
The Record will publish a monthly reminder on the 12th of each month along with information on breast cancer research.

For six months I had chemotherapy and eight weeks of radiation. I will never look in the mirror and perceive myself in the same way again! I lost 2 feet of long blonde hair and had a family of seven to care for. How grateful I am for my husband, my children who cooked and cleaned house and for girlfriends who were such a support for me. I am compelled to tell my story and what I learned to help and encourage other people with cancer. When I was bald and wore a scarf out shopping, often people would stare at me, which was painful at first. But I really began to see myself beyond that little bald head. I saw my reflection actually glowed. I was now shining on the inside and it was coming out of me. I saw a deeper kind of beauty. A woman's true beauty is not her breasts or her hair but it emerges from the soul.
I began to see "courage" and "strength" in the mirror -- soon I discovered "humor" and "determination." Each new day I experienced being lifted above and over the fatigue and pain into a place of gratitude and thanksgiving. To hold my beautiful children brought such wealth. And God my Creator, He increased my faith to such a measure that it glowed out of me.
This was and is real beauty. A beauty of the soul even though it is costly.
I believe as a cancer survivor, this is the "metamorphosis" that people with cancer may discover. We find who we really are underneath the skin.
The cancer experience was a season of awakening in my life. You peel away the external non-essentials and see a whole new world out there! The unimportant issues and events of life are discarded.
For me just being in the same room as my children makes my heart skip a beat.
The immense joy of the simple and the beautiful aspects of living bring riches.
As I gaze at my little daughter's blue eyes, I acknowledge that God actually loved me enough to trust me to walk through breast cancer and all that I learned from others with cancer, such as the song of birds and a sunset over the ocean for us, this is a luxury.
My greatest lesson was of true forgiveness and letting go of all bitterness which bound me. This causes stress and is not indusive to healing.
When we forgive and learn to love and honor all people, we can see what a privilege it is to be alive. Even in a recent "coping" magazine it is documented that nine out of 10 survivors cited forgiveness as a major factor in their survivorship.
How thankful I am for the oncology group of physicians and nurses who were like family to me.
And for me I have discovered my new purpose is to become a nurse and help children with cancer. So I press toward that dream.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
The Movie:
The second film from the Raw Feed line from Warner Brothers, Sublime finds producer Tony Krantz (whose credits include 24 on Fox and David Lynch's Mulholland Dr.) taking a shot at directing for the first time. Unfortunately, the results aren't nearly as impressive as they could have been thanks in no small part to a meandering script and some impressive but ultimately derivatives set pieces.
On the surface it would seem that George Grieves (Thomas Cavanagh) has it all – a cute red headed wife named Jenny (Kathleen York) who obviously loves him, a gorgeous house and plenty of disposable income. Unlike his brother, Frank (David Clayton Rogers), who is a bit of a wanderer, George found a very successful job in the IT industry. He and Jenny head to the hospital one day so that George can go in for a check up, but he winds up being put under. When he wakes up from his anesthesia, he's surprised to find things are very different. A very comely nurse named Andrea (Katherine Cunningham-Eves) is in his room, paying special attention to him, and things just seem off. Soon enough, George convinces Andrea that she should help him into his wheelchair and get to the East Ward of the building, which has since been blocked off and left alone. She agrees, but he's soon come face to face with his own fears and personal demons until he realizes that he hasn't come to the hospital to get better, but to die.
A cross between Memento and Jacob's Ladder (the film borrows very heavily from the former) with a healthy does of Cronenberg thrown into the mix for good measure, Sublime relies very much on flashbacks to flesh out the back-story and make us understand and care for George. This part of the movie works, and the character is established enough that we feel for the guy when it all starts to hit the fan. Unfortunately, it's once it all hits the fan that the movie starts to stumble as it basically just takes the better parts of Jacob's Ladder and remakes them, albeit without as much intensity or with as many scares. Once Andrea wheels George into the East Ward of the Mt. Abaddon Hospital, we know exactly where the movie is heading and if you pay attention to the earlier scenes (the staff keep mispronouncing Grieves as Graves, for example, and then there's the 'Last Supper' picture...) you'll know what to expect.
It's even more of a shame then that Sublime actually starts off fairly well. By using the flashbacks the filmmakers are able to at least keep us guessing as to what exactly is going on. Performance wise, the movie also fares positively with Cavanagh doing a fine job of realistically relaying his characters understandable confusion and duress. Paget Brewster does an interesting job with her part, playing the role with equal parts sinister knowing and genuinely endearing feminine charm. You can see how and why George is attracted to her and she's very well cast as this type of character.
Had Sublime tried a little harder to work as a more original picture, it could have been a really interesting movie. As it stands, because it does ape Jacob's Ladder to such an extent, it's ultimately rather unremarkable. The film starts off well and it looks quite good but sadly loses itself and its point around the half way mark where the filmmaker's seem more intent on showing off some eerie visuals rather than fleshing out the story to any satisfactory extent. Unfortunately there just isn't enough here that works – there are moments, but they don't save the movie.
The DVD
The 2.35.1 anamorphic widescreen transfer looks quite good. If you look for it you'll pick up on some line shimmering here and there but other than that there aren't any digital transfer problems to report, edge enhancement is kept to a minimum and mpeg compression artifacts aren't an issue. Skin tones look lifelike and natural and the black levels stay strong throughout the duration of the movie. Sublime looks quite good on this DVD.
The English language 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound mix is good, but not as good as it could have been. Surround usage in the rear channels helps add some atmosphere to a few key scenes, those that take place in the hospital being the ones that benefit from this the most. Dialogue is always clean and clear and there aren't any issues with hiss or distortion worth noting. The score comes through with a nice amount of punch and clarity though bass response from the subwoofer didn't seem to be as strong as it could have been. An English closed captioning option is available for the feature only as are removable subtitles in English, Portuguese, Chinese and Korean.
Warner Brother has supplied a few interesting extra features starting with a commentary track featuring director Tony Krantz and writer Erik Jendresen. Much of the track details things like the lighting and how shots were set and, more importantly, why they were set up they way that they were. The two participants aren't short for material and they keep the pace moving nicely. They do a fair bit of talking about the locations that the hospital scenes were shot in and some of the odd things that they ran into while doing this, and they also cover casting and various script ideas that were bandied about. You definitely get the impression that these two tried really hard to create a smart and intelligent horror film. Their hearts were definitely in the right place...
Raw Feed Interviews is a pair of on camera interviews, one with Krantz (18:25) and the other with Jendresen (19:29). Although they cover some of the same material here that they did in their commentary, these are still reasonably interesting discussions that cover how the movie was put together and some of the various ideas and themes that they tried to work into the picture. Also included here is a featurette entitled Surgical Exorcism (5:18) which is, according to the packaging, 'sociocultural anthropologist Dr. Falk's webcast of a live surgical exorcism in the mountains of Peru.' Without wanting to spoil this, let it suffice to say that it ties into the movie nicely.
Rounding out the extra features is a trailer for Rest Stop (though no trailer for the feature itself), animated menus, and chapter stops for the feature.
Warner Brothers has done a nice job with Sublime on DVD but the feature itself is slow, meandering, and rather dull. The film boasts some nice production values but the creepy moments are few and far between and the lethargic pace hurts what could have been an interesting concept. Skip it.

Anarchy Online: Dev Blog @ 1UP
by Inauro, 2006-08-12 01:16:00Anarchy Online quest designer Yngvild Lothe has updated his blog at 1UP.
And so the summer holiday is over for this year, leaving me with some tan, some mosquito bites and all the energy needed to get going on the quest designs. =)More...
We're currently filling Scheol with lots of story pieces that I hope our players will appreciate. It's so much fun writing these quests, and I hope the result will be something fun to do in this area that hasn't been used to its full potential yet.
We also got to see the new locations for our upcoming expansion, Lost Eden, up and running in full in the game engine. The art and effect guys have done a wonderful job on the new battlestations and space enviornment. I'm always a little amazed just how good they get an older engine like the one we use in Anarchy Online to look.

text: BANGKOK, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Most Southeast Asian stock markets rose in line with Asia on Wednesday, with Philippine shares climbing almost three percent on foreign-led buying and the Thai index hitting a two-week high, helped by banking shares. The Philippine composite index ended up 2.6 percent, recovering from a deep oversold condition seen on the previous two days, with its 14-day Relative Strength Index at 36.6 at close. The level of 30 or below means shares are oversold. Shares of top index gainer San Miguel Corp surged 15.4 percent after the conglomerate said it was interested in acquiring SABMiller PLC's Grolsch and Peroni beer brands. Gains in banks led by Kasikornbank and Siam Commercial Bank sent the SET index 1.9 percent up to 1,278.61, the highest close since Dec. 30. The share rally came ahead of bank earnings releases due out by next week. Stocks in Singapore and Malaysia posted modest gains while Vietnam retreated amid selling in blue chips. Fund flows were mixed, with the Philippines reporting net foreign buying for the first time in four days of 250 million peso ($5.27 million), stock exchange data showed. Malaysia saw a fifth straight day of foreign outflows, worth a net 71 million ringgit ($16.23 million) on Wednesday, and Indonesia posted net foreign selling of 47.5 billion rupiah ($3.44 million) after net buying on Tuesday, data showed. Asian shares as measured by MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan were up 1.3 percent.
