I noted this link (Korea.net) today with interesting information on adoption of Korean flag. Including a June 29, 1942 date for adoption by the exile government of the flag.
King Gojong appointed Bak Yeoung-hyo as his ambassador to Japan in September 1882. While aboard ship heading for Japan, Bak drew a national flag with a taegeuk circle but included only four trigrams instead of eight, and started using the flag on the 25th of that month. On October 3, Bak reported this change to King Gojong who formally proclaimed the Taegeukgi as the national flag on March 6, 1883. For some unknown reason, however, he did not have formal instructions published at that time on how to make the flag. In fact, it wasn't till June 29, 1942, that the provisional Korean government in exile enacted a law on the uniform method of making the national flag. The law was promulgated but as the government was in exile, it was not widely known to Koreans at home still under Japanese colonial rule.
Following the founding of the Republic of Korea on August 15, 1948, the government felt that it should codify the method of making the national flag. This prompted the government to form a special commission in January 1949 that issued the provision on the national flag on October 15 of that year. Since then, the Republic of Korea has been using the Taegeukgi as the national flag.
Standard color shades of Taegeukgi, the Korean National Flag are as follows: in the CIE System, the x, y, and Y coordinates for the red are x=0.5640, y=0.3194, Y=15.3; for the blue, x=0.1556, y=0.1354, Y=6.5. Alternatively, in the Munsell System of Color Notation, the red corresponds to 6.0R 4.5/14, and the blue to 5.0PB 3.0/12. In the Pantone Matching System, 186C red and 294C blue are recommended.
Taegeukgi, the national flag of the Republic of Korea, consists of a blue and red yin-yang circle in the center, one black trigram in each of the four corners, and a white background.
The white background of Taegeukgi symbolizes light and purity and reflects the Korean people's traditional affinity for peace.
The yin-yang circle, divided equally into a blue portion below and a red portion above, represents the dual cosmic forces of yin (blue) and yang (red). It symbolizes universal harmony, in which the passive and the active, the feminine and the masculine, form the whole. The four trigrams of Geon, Gon, Gam, and Li, which surround the yin-yang circle, denote the process of yin and yang going through a series of changes and growth.
Geon, with three solid bars in the upper left-hand corner, denotes "heaven". Gon, with three evenly divided bars in the lower right-hand corner, denotes "earth". Gam, with one evenly divided bar on each side of one solid bar in the upper right-hand corner, denotes "water". And Li, with one solid bar on each side of one evenly divided bar in the lower left-hand corner, denotes "fire."
Collectively, the yin-yang circle and the four trigrams represent universal harmony and unity. Taegeukgi embodies the ideals of all Koreans, who have pursued creativity and prosperity under universal principles and truth.

I just opened by chance my Crampton's Complete Guide to Flags, 1990 [cra90f], just on the page where Korea is and noticed a sentence that did not sound familiar.
So, it says: South Korea has kept the flag of the former Kingdom of Korea, although it has been modified. ... and the trigrams (kwae) are reduced from eight to four."
So, what was the flag of the Kingdom of Korea with 8 kwaes? When did the change

I think the number 8 comes naturally (2x2x2). Either of the three lines in a trigram can be either yin (- -) or yang (---). According to my I Ching, the symbolism is this:
Ole Andersen, 14 January 1999
Chinese wind rose with 8 kwae
by Mark Sensen
The I Ching , the "Book of Changes", mentioned by Ole consists of the 64 combinations you get by combining the 8 kwae and was and is used by fortune-tellers to give answers to questions. [Source: Hans Biederman, "Prisma van de symbolen", 1991/1996, Dutch translation of "Knaurs Lexicon der Symbole"]
The flag was first hoisted 22 August 1882 when the first ambassadors were
sent to Japan, an adopted officially 27 January 1883. Korea was occupied by
Japan in 1905 and annexed on 22 August 1910. After the liberation the country
was divided along the 38th degree of latitude. The Republic of Korea was established
in the southern (American) zone on 15 August 1948, which readopted the flag
in the same year when the colours and shape were established by law. On 25 January
1950 the flag was adopted officially when the kwae were revised slightly.
In 1984 the lay-out was again slightly changed. [Sources: Barraclough, Flags
of the World 1981 [c2b81]; Whitney Smith,

Korea, 1893 | Royal Korean Consulate in Hamburg 1893 |
images by Antonio Martins |
I have a photocopy of an article by H.G. Ströhl called "Wappen und Flagge
von Korea" in Herold, Oct. 1893, nr. 10, XXIV. It shows
two flags. The first is labeled "Koreanische Flagge" and is like the modern
flag, but the yin-yang - sign is much more intricate and the upper part is
blue, the lower blue. According to the text normally only the 4 main kwae
appear on the flag, most of the time blue. It also says that the arrangement
of the kwae is not always the same. The second flag shown is the one flown
at the Royal Korean Consulate in Hamburg, and has 8 kwae, coloured
yellow. The yin-yang - sign is like on the modern flag, but rotated 90 degrees
anti-clockwise. I have some doubts if the arrangement of these 8 kwae
is correct, since two opposing kwae are not each others inversion.
On the image of an old Chinese wind rose shown in the article they are inverted,
so maybe that arrangement is more correct.
Mark Sensen, 14 January 1999
It is interesting to note that the flag called the Royal Korean Consulate flag has a different arrangement of the trigraphs. I have noticed that the Koreans are very exact in describing the layout of their flag (10:15). Yet the flag that is flown on holidays is not of the same proportions as that shown in the official description of their flag, the main difference being the addition of extra white to the field of the flag on the side away from the flag pole. The additional material gives the flag the same length as the US flag (10:19).
The ordering of the trigrams in the tooth edge flag matches that of the
Hou Tian (latter heaven) ordering of the trigrams of the Chinese Yi Ching.
Patrick Kirol, 11 March 2000
During the Japanese colonial rule (1910-1945) the Korean t'aeguk circle flag was prohibited to use.
The Japanese governor of Korea's flag was used that is light blue flag with Japanese national flag (hinomaru) in a canton like British blue ensign despite of a different color shade. The canton is one fourth of whole flag in size. The light blue stands for justice, fairness and philanthropy.
Korea used a similar flag to present flag. The t'aeguk is longer than current one and colour was reverse: blue over red. The black four trigrams are placed in differently: There were two broken and one unbroken lines in upper left/ three unbroken lines in upper right/three broken lines in bottom left/one broken and two unbroken lines in bottom right.
An old Japanese flag book published in 1876/1854 shows square yellow flag
with red rugged border as a Korean King's standard. The flag bears a green
dragon having red tongue and gray clouds.
Nozomi Kariyasu, 21 March 1999
The early history of the Korean national flag seems to have remained rather obscure, according to a paper by Elizabeth Pyon published on-line in the Korea Herlad, 18 December 2001.
The paper reports recent findings on the invention of the first Korean national flag, which seem to disagree with the traditional explanations. The research was done by Dr. Kim Sang-Sup, a "reformist" researcher specialized in the Yi-ching. Dr. Kim based his conclusions on several historical official documents of the end of the 19th century.
The national Korean flag was used for the first time by a Korean diplomatic mission sent to Japan in 1882. This was the first diplomatic mission ever sent by Korea. King Gojong ordered the Chief of the delegation, Prince Pak Yeong-Hyo, to hoist the Korean national flag on the vessel used by the mission. These are historical facts. Moreover, it is often said that King Gojon himself designed the flag in the beginning of the 1880s. He wanted to express his resistance to foreign influence and his willing to preserve the independence of his Kingdom.
Unfortunately, this theory is not backed up by any serious evidence. The historical records studied by Dr. Kim give a completely different history.
In 1875, a Japanese fleet sailed too close to the Ganghwa Island and had an altercation with the Korean army. The Koreans shot the Japanese flag. This was used as a pretext by the Japanese army for a retaliation campaign. Before this event, there was little interest in Korea for a national symbol. King Gojong asked his suzereign, the Emperor of China, for advice on the question of the flag. Chinese experts suggested a flag similar to the Chinese flag of the time, a dragon with five claws on a yellow background. The Korean court, however, rejected the proposal of a dragon with four claws on a blue background, which was considered "too sophisticated".
In April 1882, an official Korean-Chinese meeting was held to discuss the question of the Korean flag. The "teaguk" emblem was proposed for the first time during this meeting. Official documents of the Korean Royal court state that the Chinese delegate Ma Chien-Chung promoted the use of the Yin-Yang spiral in red and blue and eight combinations of the Yi-ching, and imposed his views to the Korean delegate Kim Hong-Jip. Ma Chien-chung explained the symbolism of his proposal. The eight Yi-ching diagrams matched the eight Korean provinces, and red was the colour of the King whereas blue was the colour of ordinary people. Korea eventually adopted its flag under Chinese pressure and used it for its first diplomatic mission as said above.
The first version of the "taeguk" was very close to the original Yi-Ching
diagram, which includes eight subdiagrams. The deletion of four of these subdiagrams
is reported in the diary of Prince Pak Yeong-Hyo. The Prince showed the original
flag design to James, the British captain of the vessel used for the mission.
James found the design too complicated and proposed to delete four of the
eight Yi-Ching diagrams.

"Discovery of Old Flag Discredits 'Taegukgi' Legend
by Yu Seok-jaeThe oldest picture of a "Taegukgi," the national flag of Korea, has been discovered, giving insight into how the flag's symbols came to be used. The Taegukgi was found in the "Flags of Maritime Nations," issued by the U.S. Navy Department's Bureau of Navigation in July 1882, and with its red and blue yin-yang symbol and four black trigrams has the same form as the current Korean flag. This Taegukgi would be two or three months older than the one used by Park Yeong-hyo, who is known as the first to make and use a four- trigram flag. Park did so during a diplomatic mission to Japan from August to September of 1882.oldest Taegukgi, the national flag of Korea, was found. This version is listed in `Flags of Maritime Nations,' published by the Bureau of Navigation at the U.S. Navy Department in July 1882. This version uses the four trigrams from the Book of Changes. Until now, Park Yeong-hyo was known as the first person to use four trigrams from the Book of Changes. The flag was published two or three months before Park moved to Japan.
contributed by Jan Mertens, 20 August 2004
Note: bibliographic information on the Flags of Maritime Nations is at [usn82]
Yoon Sojung reports on Korea.net, 29 February 2008, the discovery of a copy of the Korean national flag dated 1882.
[...]Discovered in the National Archives of the United Kingdom, this copy of the flag was enclosed in a letter written by then-Japanese vice foreign minister Yoshida Kiyonari to U.K. ambassador to Japan Harry Parkes in November 1882, according to Korea's Independence Hall. In the letter, the Japanese vice foreign minister introduced the copy as the national flag of Korea to the British ambassador.
This copy shows one of the oldest designs, which was originally created by Bak Yeong-hyo (1861-1939) during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) in September 1882.
Bak was appointed by Emperor Gojong (1852-1919), as Joseon's ambassador to Japan in September 1882. While aboard a ship heading for Japan, Bak drew a national flag with a taegeuk circle and included only four trigrams, and started using the flag on the 25th of that month. On October 3, he reported this to King Gojong, who formally proclaimed the Taegeukgi as the national flag on March 6, 1883.
This copy has a taegeuk circle painted in red and blue representing the yin and yang that symbolizes universal harmony, one black trigram in each of the four corners and a white background. The white background of taegeukgi symbolizes light and purity and reflects the Korean people's traditional affinity for peace. The four trigrams of Geon, Gon, Gam, and Li, painted in blue in this copy, which surround the yin-yang circle, denote the process of yin and yang going through a series of changes and growth.
The image of the flag copy, shown on "Korean.net" casts some doubt on
the 1893 flag reported by H.G. Ströhl in Herold (above).

In The International Geography, London, 1911, I found this flag - the old flag of Korea, before it was occupied by Japan in 1905. Korea ceased to exist until 1947, after which a lot of things happened.
However the 'old Korean flag' differs in several respects from the present South Korean flag:
I scanned the flag. Perhaps someone can tell us more about the 8 kwaes?
Jarig Bakker, 14 January 1999
This flag image is an incorrect representation, with the red part of
the disc ending in a pointy tip and the blue part in a blob. The actual
flag used a (rotationally) symmetrical device as in the left side image
under "Korea, 1893".
António Martins-Tuválkin, 10 January 2007
I saw on TV recently what seems to be the first flag of the Republic
of Korea. This was on the TV show M*A*S*H, a show from the 1970s, but
set in the times of the Korean War. The flag references they have (the
show is set on a US Army medical base) are quite accurate (i.e. a 48-star
flag flies over the compound, along with a UN and S. Korean flag), so
I don't doubt the authenticity of the flag. The flag was shown in a
good shot in the episode "Welcome to Korea" (season opener of season
5. The major differences: the four corner elements are smaller and closer
to the corner, and the ying-yang is on its side. The ying-yang also
appeared to be drawn differently, but I couldn't get a clear enough
shot of it to tell for sure how it appeared.
David Kendall, 29 December 1998
The Korean flag was slightly changed in
21 February 1984, but the disposition of the ying yang seems strange
(left blue, right red instead red over blue). I checked some plates
pre-1984 and in all the plates the flag is red over blue. The flag was
not adopted until 1950 but was in use de facto after 1945; perhaps the
design posted is derived from the designs used from 1945-50,

World Wide Web Foundation Launches Web Index
The World Wide Web Foundation has launched the Web Index – a new global study that "measures the impact of the Web on the world's people and nations."
According to the foundation's website, the Web Index is the world's first multi-dimensional measure of the web's growth, utility, and impact on people and nations. The index covers 61 developed and developing countries, incorporating indicators that assess the political, economic, and social impact of the web, as well as indicators of web connectivity and infrastructure.
Web inventor and Web Foundation founder Sir Tim Berners-Lee hosted an event in London to mark the launch of the index. "The Web Index was created to measure the state of the Web in the world. Each country will see not only where they rank compared to others, but also what the World Wide Web Foundation thinks they need to do to improve," Berners-Lee said.
The highest ranking country in the Web Index is Sweden, with the United States ranking second, and the United Kingdom third. Yemen is the lowest ranking country in the index, just below Zimbabwe. The Web Index is published at: http://thewebindex.org/, and you can read a complete report of the findings here.

AC/DC add stadium shows to their Black Ice World Tour beginning in Leipzig, Germany on May 13, 2009 and running through June 30, 2009 in Glasgow, Scotland. AC/DC kicked off their hugely successful Black Ice World Tour in late October and the press can't stop raving about the band's incredible live performance. The Chicago Tribune called their live show "a celebration of all that is great about Rock N Roll," while The Boston Globe exclaimed "AC/DC is the greatest band ever." The tour is currently making it's way across the United States before heading to Europe.
Released globally on October 20, 2008, Black Ice is AC/DC's first new album in over eight years and it's evident the band are still an incredible force in rock. The Washington Post noted that "Black Ice is the best record the band has made in decades" and People magazine put it best by saying "Black Ice finds the Australian rockers at their headbanging, power-chord-crunching best." 'Rock N Roll Train,' the first single from Black Ice has been nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals. This is AC/DC's fifth Grammy Award nomination.
Black Ice made history debuting at #1 on album charts in 29 countries and also has the distinction of being Columbia Records' biggest debut album (since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales data for Billboard in March of 1991). Black Ice has been certified Multi Platinum in eight countries, including the US, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Germany and the Czech Republic. Additionally Black Ice has achieved Platinum status in twelve countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, UK, Argentina, Singapore and New Zealand) and Gold status in four countries (Netherland, Spain, Poland and Brazil). With over 6 million copies of Black Ice shipped worldwide, combined with over 5.5 million in catalog sold this year, AC/DC have surpassed The Beatles as the #1 selling catalog artist in the US for 2008. In the US, Black Ice is being sold exclusively at Walmart, Sam's Club, and www.acdc.com.

Statistics show only break-ins and narcotic offenses on rise in Pittsfield Township
From the Pittsfield Township Department of Public Safety's website
Pittsfield Township was a safer place to be in 2012, according to a year-end crime report.
Numbers were down in nearly all the criminal categories. The only two that saw increases were narcotic-related violations and home invasions.
"Overall the news is positive," said Pittsfield Township police chief Gordy Schick.
The biggest jump was in drug infractions with a 49 percent increase. There were 275 reported offenses in 2012 compared with 184 in 2011. Home invasions saw an increase of 20.4 percent with 171 reported in 2012 compared to 142 the year before.
Robberies stayed exactly the same with 21 in both years.
There were decreases in all other categories including homicides, sexual assaults, assaults, larcenies, motor vehicle thefts and malicious damage to property, according to the report.
There were no homicides in 2012 compared to one the year before. In 2011, Gregory Noack killed his girlfriend, Dawn Fital, a 45-year-old championship pool player and mother of four in the bed of their Arbor Knoll apartment because she refused sexual contact with him. He eventually pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced up to 70 years in prison.
Criminal sexual conduct cases decreased by 10 percent, from 20 to 18. Assaults were down even lower, 28 percent, from 350 to 251.
Larceny incidents decreased 18 percent, from 495 to 405 and motor vehicle thefts saw an 8.7 percent dip, from 69 to 63.
Malicious damage to property cases decreased 21.4 percent, from 238 to 180.

Featured Blogshop: LovesCoach Singapore
Since my visit to New York City, I've never quite been able to walk into a Coach or Kate Spade shop without thinking, "THESE ARE ALL OVERPRICED!" I'm not kidding you.
In July 2010, I stumbled upon LovesCoach Singapore. They were selling the Kate Spade London Sampson, which I really liked! And the best part of it all, they will selling at an affordable and lower price as compared to the Kate Spade outlets in Singapore! Same goes for Coach.
I started a poll whether or not I should get the bag, sadly, 38 percent said to "give it a pass" and I did. Now, I'm totally regretting it terribly.
Unfortunately, LovesCoach items only comes in limited pieces per design and colour. So, I'm not able to get my hands on Kate Spade London Sampson anymore .

Blood poisoning: When to see a doctor
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/blood-poisoning/AN00716
- With Mayo Clinic internist
James M. Steckelberg, M.D.
read biographyclose windowBiography of
James M. Steckelberg, M.D.
James Steckelberg, M.D.
Dr. James Steckelberg is a consultant in the Division of Infectious Diseases and a professor of medicine at Mayo Medical School.
A native of Fremont, Neb., Dr. Steckelberg was a Rhodes Scholar and graduated from the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine as a resident in internal medicine and a fellow in infectious diseases, and is board certified in both. He is the former director of the Infectious Diseases Research Laboratory at Mayo Clinic.
Dr. Steckelberg belongs to numerous professional organizations. He is a founding member of the Musculoskeletal Infection Society and a fellow of the American College of Physicians and of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. He has served on many Mayo Clinic committees and is a member of the Department of Medicine Leadership Committee and of the executive committee of the Division of Infectious Diseases. He also served on the editorial boards of "Mayo Clinic Proceedings" and "Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy" and has been an editorial reviewer for more than a dozen publications.
Dr. Steckelberg's research interests include experimental models of infection, epidemiology of infection, and antimicrobial resistance and therapy of bacterial infections.
Blood poisoning: When to see a doctor
I suspect I have blood poisoning. Should I see my doctor?
from James M. Steckelberg, M.D.
"Blood poisoning" is not a medical term. But as the term is usually used, it refers to the presence of bacteria in the blood (bacteremia) — and not a poisonous substance in the blood. However, bacteremia is a serious illness and requires prompt medical attention.
When to see a doctor
If you recently had a medical or dental procedure or injection and have any of the following signs and symptoms, see your doctor right away:
- Sudden, high fever
- Chills
- Rapid heart rate
- Nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain
- A feeling or appearance of serious illness
A diagnosis of bacteremia is usually confirmed by a blood culture. Treatment requires hospitalization and includes intravenous antibiotics. Without prompt treatment, bacteremia can quickly progress to severe sepsis, which is a life-threatening condition.

Subject of what?
"It is not true that I want to meet them."
"It is not that I want to meet them."
I think that "that clause" in both functions as a subject, considering meaning. Do you agree with me? Thank you so much and have a good day.
P.S Do you say the both sentences have different meanings?
Subject of what?
Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.
"That I want to meet them is not true."
"That I want to meet them is not."
Actually I understand the first sentence but do you agree with the second sentence?
Thank you, but I saw "It is not that I want to go.". Then the sentence is not correct either?
You can come up with all sorts of strange sentences which only make sense in very specific contexts. You should try to give a context in which you think the sentence makes sense.
"I'm going to a strip club tonight. It's not that I want to go; my boss invited me."
"It's true that I'll probably meet some crime bosses. That I want to meet them is not [true]" - This is grammatical, but not so good stylistically.

"As we have done in past years, we will continue to set-up (tables, chairs, audio and video equipment) and breakdown after your event," said Green, the senior supervisor at the Boca Grande Community Center.

I bought 5 of these Combination Squares the last time they were on sale. I placed them all around my shop because I always had to search for the ONE I had before. Now I can quickly find one whenever I need one. The cost of these extra combination squares has quickly been made up by the amount of time I save by not having to search and search for the only one combination square I had in the past. As far as the accuracy and quality of the Combination Square is concerned, I build antique reproductions out of WOOD I don't build space shuttles. These Combination Squares do a great job for me and for the work I bought them for.

Does everything!
By Dave B.
from Undisclosed
Comments about Pittsburgh 12" Combination Square Set:
I really like this square. It does everything I could ever want it to and then some. It's well built, too--the different attachments slide smoothly and easily, but stay put when tightened down. No wobble or play whatsoever from any of them. Have already used it several times, and no problems with the ruler markings rubbing off so far.

Edges are super sharp. Can cut you.
By Erv
from Albuquerque NM
About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
The first thing that I did when I examined this thing was cut my fingers on the extremely sharp edges. Theses edges are so sharp you could almost shave with them! I would suggest that the first thing you should do is carefully file off the edges some. Don't expect a very accurate tool as you only get what you pay for, that is if you are lucky.

Materials in question.
By DesertBard
from El Paso, TX
See all my reviews
I use this for wood working and making sheet metal cabinets for old radios. The best thing about this is of course is the cost. It appears fairly accurate, but I'd not compare them to machinist tools. They are plenty accurate for wood working and small sheet metal projects.In the specifications it says these are carbon steel, but on the left side of you screen you will see it says Die Cast Aluminum. Aluminum is correct, yet it is extremely soft aluminum. There is a tiny bur sticking up from the edges. It is easy even with the ruler that come with it, if it lightly taps that edge will bend and even break that bur. Worst of all the tiny burr can push inward and off set your measurements about 1 degree. On small pieces that might not matter but on larger pieces it can mess everything up. I like it well enough, I am going to take my receipt and see if I cannot get it replaced. It is not for super accurate metal work, but small projects it is fine for..

Poor Quality
By Miss Frannie
This the first time I took something back for a refund. And I had no problems, the store was very nice about it. I always keep my receipts. Even though it was past the expiration date they gave me my money back. For that I am very happy. I was very dissapointed with the tool only because the protractor was off by a few degrees. But the square seemed to be right on.

Poor design
By MNSIU
from Oro Valley, AZ
About Me Professional
Very light weight which means material choice for the tool was as cheap as they could build it. The screw and spring fall out when blade is removed. Trying to get the blade back into the slot is very difficult. However, it's better than nothing.
Not precise enough
By Rick
from El Centro, CA
The entire purpose of my purchase was to find the center point on round stock for lathe work. If the square is indeed finding the center point of round stock, the lines should converge in one point in the center of the stock. Lines scribed with this do not, and putting the stock on the lathe using the closest thing to the found center point confirms that it is off-center. Spend the extra if you want the precision. You'll save yourself a headache
Its a Harbor Freight tool alright!
By Holy Diver
from Colorado
Bottom line here.....you get what you pay for! The fastners and springs fall out, hard to put back together.
(1 of 1 customers found this review helpful)
By Old time carpenter
from South Florida
Bought this because I just wanted the square. The fact that the adjusting bolts fall out is an example of a tool being designed by someone that has no idea how the tool would be used in the field! I will mostly use as a marking gage, otherwise just a POOR design.

The death penalty continues to generate intense debate, including in Nebraska — one of 33 states that authorize capital punishment. In this debate, Nebraska Solicitor General J. Kirk Brown and University of Colorado Boulder professor Michael Radelet will explore such questions as whether the death penalty is humane, fairly applied, reduces violent crime, or is cost effective. They'll also examine impacts on the condemned person, the legal and judicial systems, victims' loved ones, and the taxpaying society at large.

President Nelson Mandela was truly a transformative force in the history of South Africa and the world. My heart weighs heavy about his transition, but we are reassured because his life was full, and we know the imprint he left on our world is everlasting.Anthony Sampson
Nelson Mandela was the most respected, and probably the most loved of all world leaders in the late 20th century, and the most enduring of the heroes who emerged from the political convulsions of the 1980s. He personified the peaceful and rapid transition of power in South Africa that many had thought impossible, while his commitment to reconciliation was underlined by his own experience of personal sacrifice and forgiveness.David Blair
The theme running through Nelson Mandela's life was his unshakeable belief that one human being can change the course of history dramatically for the better.Staff writers
Nelson Mandela, who guided South Africa from the shackles of apartheid to multi-racial democracy and became an international icon of peace and reconciliation, died Thursday at age 95.Sudarsan Raghavan and Lynne Duke
Nelson Mandela, the former political prisoner who became the first president of a post-apartheid South Africa and whose heroic life and towering moral stature made him one of history's most influential statesmen, died Thursday, the government announced. He was 95.Kathleen Hennessey and Christi Parsons
WASHINGTON — A somber President Obama paid tribute Thursday to the man he credits with his political awakening, saying Nelson Mandela's dignity and sacrifice "transformed South Africa and moved all of us."

Wenatchee sits in the center of Washington's apple-growing region, a distinction celebrated annually at its Apple Blossom Festival in late April/early May. The city is located along the confluence of the Wenatchee and Columbia rivers near the eastern edge of the Cascade Mountain range, making it an outdoor playground with an abundance of activities such as hiking, whitewater rafting, and skiing.
A visit to the Rocky Reach Dam or the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center provides insight into the history and industry of the area, while Ohme Gardens is an evergreen oasis in the heart of the region - and offers amazing views of the Cascade Mountains.
Visitors to Wenatchee can also visit a working candy factory, the Aplets & Cotlets Candy Kitchen; or bike, walk, or jog the popular Apple Capital Loop Trail.

The opening music sounds good! EDIT:That screen is animated! The still doesn't do it justice.. hehehe
no one cares if you play it TMM. You and your elitist "true betas." Why even bother posting the story if all you are going to do is whine/troll about how much you aren't going to be playing it.
What I can't state an opinion unless its a popular one? Exactly. News is news. My opinion is mine. I would never post my personal opinion in a new article. That's retarded and immature.
O. M. G. No doubt, after this weekend is over, I'll probably play through D2 again waiting for the 15th.
Been in beta for some time now it's only act 1 about 30 mins of game play Enjoy your SK runs, also a lv 13 cap
What do you think we're dealing with here? This is going to be a "beta," in the same sense that the BF3 open beta was a "beta." Prepare to be told to "shut up and sit down because this is a three week old build and the developers are already aware of all of the issues." And then be prepared to still have that exact same problem three months after release.
This is going to be the perfect game for my girlfriend and I. Can't wait ^^ We were originally going to buy Res Evil: Operation Raccoon City to get our coop fix, but this is 1000000000x better.
After 2 days of playing Diablo 3. I have to say Runic Game's Torchlight was more refreshing. There are so many annoying things that are conservatively retained from previous Diablos. The item management is one, It does not even sort itself out, it still has a 1 and 2 slot system. The items are not clearly highlighted when dropped, and you can't manually highlight it. The Torchlight pet system is so much cooler as you can ask the pet to go back to town and sell items while you continue to charge into enemy territory. The theme is still dark and quite difficult to see. Why? I know it is meant to be "EVIL" but no need to hide so much. Torchlight has the same theme but they made it look more refreshing. The camera is completely restricted! WHY? The way they've restricted the camera, it is no different from a 2D scrolling game. I think this is the most unforgivable restriction. Why multiplay coop is restricted to a max of 4 players only? Those complaints aside. The skill tree has been overhauled, now there is no need to commit into a skill as you can swap around anytime. This is a great thing. My fav character is the monk. Great hands on attack, flash like instant travel and healing ability. Finally, Blizzard deliberately limit the leveling up to 13. Kinda expected.
The beta is not even the tip of the iceberg. So much more to see, hardcore mode, a lot more kinds of items, mobs, skills...
I can definitively see that you are NOT an old school Diablo player...The game graphics so far is EXACTLY how a Diablo game should be , to bad they ruined the nice skill tree from D2...
