Rules of war, for a fantasy/science fiction setting
An Altering? But isn't that...Ordinary war has rules. You can't go around killing innocents, you can't kill medics, you probably can't rape villagers or set fire to villages (at least not without orders), and you can't use certain weapons. After the first World War, hollow point bullets, some types of gas, possibly barbed wire, and in general much of the methods employed in that war were outlawed. For more information on the weapons that can't be used, see the other Wiki. Now, what happens when you have a fantasy setting? There are obviously rules of magic, making certain spells impossible (such as resurrection in an All Deaths Final setting). But in a war, the must be certain rules, or people would be doing unthinkable things in a battlefield with nothing to stop them. For weapons, the rules are possibly the same as above (with the change that there is a larger likelihood of having swords than guns), so this will mainly discuss magical laws.

DEFINITION of 'Single-Premium Deferred Annuity - SPDA'
A type of annuity contract that is established with a single lump-sum payment by the owner. The annuity then grows on a tax-deferred basis until annuitization. Single-Premium Deferred Annuities (SPDA) can be either fixed or variable, and distributions are only taxed when you take them. There is no investment limits regarding how much you wish to invest in a SPDA.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Single-Premium Deferred Annuity - SPDA'
Single Premium Deferred Annuities (SPDA) differ from immediate contracts in that they grow tax-deferred for a period of time before annuitization. They also differ from flexible-premium contracts where the investor makes multiple payments into the contract over a period of time while the assets grow. SPDA is appropriate for investors who need steady income and have a lump-sum balance to invest.

85% of Video App Users Watching Same or More Scheduled TV: Study
Tuesday, August 2, 2011, 9:33 AM ET
Posted by
Will Richmond
For those fearing that video consumption through mobile and connected devices threatens to disrupt traditional linear TV viewership, a
new study
suggests it's not happening en masse, at least not yet. The study, fielded by Nielsen and the Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing (CTAM) indicates that 85% of video app users are watching the same or more regularly scheduled TV. There's no trend data however, so it's not clear how the amount compares to a year or two ago.
Further good news is that video apps appear to be adding value to TV programs and TV networks. As the below graphic shows, 46% of video app users report more engagement with the program/network, 35% report more visits to the program/network web site, and 37% report watching more associated programs or networks.
(Video apps are defined as enabling video viewing, sharing views or content via social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.), running interactive second-screen experiences and/or browsing TV listings and programming the DVR. Video apps covered can be pre-installed, or downloaded for free or purchase.)
However, the study notes that it's still early days for video apps, as there are just 16 million users today (13M smartphones and 3M tablets), which has increased by 36% since Q3 '10. The most important attribute of video apps is free/low subscription rates (cited by 63% of respondents), followed by wide genre available (47%), user-friendly interface (43%) and availability of new video content to watch (42%).
Meanwhile video apps appear to be a home-based phenomenon today: approximately three-quarters of smartphone, iPod Touch and tablet users report using the devices for video apps most often at home. Assuming most of this usage is occurring on home Wi-Fi networks, that's very good news for mobile carriers who have lately been capping mobile data consumption due to exploding usage.
The study included a qualitative phase held at the Las Vegas "CBS TV City Media Lab, with adults 18-49 and a quantitative phase via online survey of 1,510 respondents. All were owners of some combination of mobile and connected devices and had used video apps in the last 30 days.

Today is the fourth anniversary of Change the Equation's launch and we've got a lot to celebrate.
Since 2010, CTEq member companies have been working alongside us to improve STEM literacy across the country. Here are a few of our exciting milestones:
As the U.S. economy becomes increasingly globalized, how well are states preparing students for long-term success compared with our neighbors near and far?
In case you're not following the tournament, today's Men's Singles final match of the U.S. Open will be an exciting one. The two final competitors, Kei Nishikori and Marin Cilic, are both making their finals debuts after knocking out tournament favorites Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, respectively. We're hopeful that these two underdogs will put on a memorable show for tennis fans in their final match!
This week, CTEq member Motorola Solutions announced the awardees of its Innovation Generation grants for 2014. The total funding to the 92 STEM-supporting organizations amounts to a whopping $4 million!
Regardless of where you stand on the Common Core State Standards, the antics of some state lawmakers who are trying to overturn them should scare you. Do you really want politicians dictating what gets taught in American classrooms?
As students head back to school and back to higher standards in math and science, we're highlighting outstanding STEMworks programs that help teachers prepare them for success. From lesson plans to lab materials, these STEMworks programs equip teachers with tools and resources to bring math and science alive in their classrooms.
Check out our September Spotlight programs:
Grace Suh is Manager, Education, Corporate Citizenship & Corporate Affairs with CTEq member company IBM (on Twitter, @gracesuh).
Today's annoucement of results from the annual PDK/Gallup poll on public education reveals troubling news about Common Core. The poll, conducted by Gallup and Phi Delta Kappa International (PDK), measures the attitudes of Americans toward public schools, both in their communities and nationally. The results show that, overall, the public is satisfied with their neighborhood schools, but are less so nationally, with 51 percent giving schools a C.
You can see STEM popping up in many popular places these days, and we hope it's a trend that continues because it seems to be causing a shift in the mindset that enjoying subjects like alegbra and physics makes you "uncool."

Digit was one of the few technology media from across the globe to be invited for the rather secretive Up North Web event. Not a lot was disclosed before the event with everyone from the PR to the development teams being mum about what was in store. What initially sounded to us like a PR stunt, turned out to be a rather interesting display of technologies and strategies for the future.
The day started off with journalists assembling, and then quickly being driven off to the venue – a popular design centre in the heart of Oslo. Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera started off the introduction for the event laying down the basics by explaining the Opera ideology of doing things. He emphasised on statistics of users across the world and how the mobile browser market was becoming more and more important as compared to desktop browsers. The desktop browser share is healthy and growing steadily but the real explosion can be seen in many countries on the mobile front. Tieups with operators for countries such as India and Pakistan was one of the key things being worked on the marketing front at Opera. Some of the other tieups included those with manufacturers such as Mediatek , one of the largest in the world. There are also tieups with handset manufacturers such as Huawei and ZTE.
Lars said that Opera interests didn't just lie on mobile handsets, but also on desktops, as well as embedded systems such as set top boxes and TVs.
[RELATED_ARTICLE]There were some predictions as well. Opera claims that people will be moving to web based applications in the future. Platforms and operating systems will be a thing of the past and web based apps will be the way to go. Opera claims that the mobile web users will outgrow desktop web by 2015. India is one of the best examples he stated - 500 million phones connected to the web , which is way more than desktop users. This is a very early stage, and Opera sees a big market in India.
Opera says that browsers and the internet isn't only about developing new technologies and standards – it's also about the experience. Devices in the future would only need browsers; nothing more. Opera claims that everything from gaming to image editing can be easily handled by a browser and it is the way to go.
Next on stage, was Christen Krogh, Chief Development Officer, Opera. He stated that Opera had around 140 million users worldwide, which meant close to new users being added to the figure every second. There were a few demos showing off Opera's achievement on how they were the first to introduce tabbed browsing, and not their competition. The Speed dial feature was another first from Opera.
Christen went on to some demonstrations. He first showcased one of the TVs being powered by Opera's core. He showed videos being streamed on the TV. Focus quickly moved to their core products. Opera Mini and Mobile demos were also showed. One of the key announcements was the Opera Mobile browser being brought to the Android platform. Users would have the choice of using the serverside compression.
Some other interesting features were revealed – hardware acceleration on mobiles, where the user interface and panning/zooming functions will take advantage. Hardware acceleration on the desktop browser has been in the works for a very long time, and there could be something coming, but there was no set date for it, yet.
Opera 11, although under the wraps so far is coming. Early development builds are expected soon. The exciting news however is (wait for it).... extensions! Opera is finally going to allow extensions to be built around the browser. Two sample extensions – one for Wikipedia and the other for Reddit were demonstrated. The extensions implemented on the UI looked very much like the ones on Chrome and Firefox. With Opera and Chrome being pretty popular amongst the market, and Firefox slowly losing its grasp, this should an exciting time. Chrome's popularly sprung up massively with the addition of extensions. Opera seems to be headed the same way.
Hakon Wium Lie, CTO, Opera (also well known as the Father of CSS) was next on stage. He talked about HTML4 and CSS2 being the face of web sites back in 1998. Almost 12 years later, HTML5 along with CSS3 and about to change things again. HTML5 he said could changes things – make simple documents into applications. Support for accessing local storage should enhance this even more. A few demos were quickly displayed – games being played on demo using HTML5, and even the presentation being shown to us.
One of the last people on stage was Opera co-founder, Jon Von Tetzchner. Although, he isn't CEO anymore, he was still very much occupied with all of Opera's activities and he confirmed what Lars initially said – a web browser is all you really need.
The event concluded with a few hands-on of handsets running the Opera Mobile browser and also a Philips TVs running the demos. The day for a few others, concluded with journalists rushing through the corridors of Opera HQ meeting staff.
A few photos of the events cam be found on the next page.

(London) - UAE authorities should drop charges against five activists arrested after they called for democratic reforms, four international human rights organizations said Sunday, July 17, 2011. The call comes as the activists' trial for "publicly insulting" the UAE president and other top officials re-opens on July 18, in Abu Dhabi's Federal Supreme Court, against the backdrop of a wider clampdown on dissent in the UAE. The four rights groups - Amnesty International, the Arabic Network For Human Rights Information (ANHRI), Front Line Defenders, and Human Rights Watch - jointly called on the UAE authorities to abandon the trial and release the men immediately.
The Kuwaiti government should immediately release two Kuwaiti men detained over internet postings criticizing the rulers of Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, Human Rights Watch said July 13, 2011. State security authorities detained and investigated Nasser Abul on June 7, 2011, for threatening state security based on Twitter messages, and Lawrence al-Rashidi later in June based on a YouTube video criticizing Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, the country's emir. Both are being held without bail. Kuwaiti authorities should immediately investigate allegations that Abul has been mistreated in detention, Human Rights Watch said.
Reporters Without Borders accuses the authorities of continuing to crack down on journalists and media freedom in violation of the spirit for the national dialogue that King Hamad Ben Issa Al-Khalifa wants to begin tomorrow with the aim of relaunching political reforms after the unrest that began last March and the ensuing repression. Journalists and media are still being prosecuted before military courts, although the state of emergency was lifted on 1 June. The authorities are also maintaining strict control over the circulation of news and information and are pumping out propaganda aimed at both Bahraini and foreign media.
Human rights and disability rights advocates around the globe can now access a newly launched tool for finding the knowledge and toolkits they need: the Global Disability Rights Library (GDRL) at http://gdrl.org. A prototype "test" version of this library is being made available both on-line and off-line so that users can share feedback with the GDRL team on improving the library.

FDA approves new multiple sclerosis capsules
The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday it approved a new drug from Biogen Idec to control multiple sclerosis in adults with hard-to-treat forms of the disease.
AP Health Writer
The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday it approved a new drug from Biogen Idec to control multiple sclerosis in adults with hard-to-treat forms of the disease.
The twice-a-day capsules, called Tecfidera, offer a new option for multiple sclerosis, a debilitating disease in which the body attacks its own nervous system. Cambridge, Mass.-based Biogen Idec already sells two other drugs for the disease, but both require injections.
There is no cure for multiple sclerosis and most patients experience relapses of symptoms, including loss of balance, weakness in arms and legs, and blurred vision. Over time patients usually become weaker and less coordinated. More than 2 million people worldwide have the disease, with about 400,000 of them in the U.S., according to Biogen.
The FDA said it approved Tecfidera based on two studies showing patients taking the drug had fewer relapses than patients taking a dummy pill.
The approval gives Biogen a new product in an increasingly crowded field of multiple sclerosis drugs.
The biotech drugmaker already sells the once-a-week multiple sclerosis injection Avonex. It also markets the once-a-month injection Tysabri through a partnership with Elan Corp. PLC of Ireland. However, Tysabri's severe side effects have curtailed its use.
Tecfidera is designed to be taken orally, which could make it a preferred option for patients and doctors.
A Biogen executive said Wednesday that its three drugs would be used to treat different groups of patients.
"Multiple sclerosis is a reasonably complex disease and we think there are a lot of needs out there," said Tony Kingsely, a vice president at Biogen. "By having three drugs out there I think we can address a lot of those needs."
Kinglsey said the company will announce the pricing of the drug when it begins shipping in the next week.
Novartis launched the first pill-based multiple sclerosis drug, Gilenya, in March 2011. Sanofi won FDA approval for a second pill, its drug Aubagio, last September.
The top-selling drug for the disease worldwide is Copaxone, which is made by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries. That injection had sales of nearly $4 billion last year, according to Teva's latest financial report.
Avonex and Tysabri had annual sales of $2.7 billion and $1.5 billion in 2011, the most recent year for which Biogen has reported annual sales.
Biogen Idec Inc. shares rose $5.59, or 3.2 percent, to close Wednesday at $182.68.

The e-mails were designed to look like they were sent by Ni's former supervisor, who was involved with Ni's termination from Wegmans in 2005.
Ni said in court he never intended to harm the Wegman family; instead, he was trying to get his former supervisor in trouble.

>> Insurance sector looks to brighter horizon
>> Pens sharpened to redraw banking sector
In light of the State Bank's Directive 01/CT-NHNN of February 13, 2012 group IV banks are not allowed to see credit growth in 2012. How will they fare?
Around 10 credit institutions face collapse. They need to be re-arranged to better manage debts and evolve in a healthy manner. In fact, their total credit may not grow, they can still operate raising and lending activities in a safer manner.
What are the criteria behind banks' credit growth classification?
There are multiple criteria like capital scale, governance capacity, risk management, collateral quality, asset value and obedience of central bank policies. Group I consists of healthy banks so they are given a maximal credit growth of 17 per cent per year in 2012. Group II with average banks, group III with below average banks and group IV with weak banks are given corresponding maximal credit growth targets of 15 per cent, 8 per cent and zero per cent this year.
The State Bank will not unveil the classified bank list but it will inform each bank of their allocated credit growth target. In respect to foreign banks with chartered capital hikes last year, they will be allowed a maximal credit growth tantamount to charter capital amount in 2012.
In doing this, central bank hopes total credit growth of the whole country will be around 15-17 per cent this year. After six months of implementation, the State Bank will adjust the rate allocated to credit institutions to suit changes in monetary and credit situation as well as banking activities at that time.
State Bank chief Nguyen Van Binh said several banks would be subject to mergers and acquisitions in the second quarter of 2012. What about the preparations?
The process is now underway. To make the target come true a number of legal issues need to be addressed such as making asset appraisals or coordinating bank efforts.
The matter when those banks will be restructured will be aired later.
In 2011, the State Bank enacted Circular 35/2011/TT-NHNN, effective from April 1, 2012 regulating that information relative to banks' mergers and acquisitions, bad debts and violations will be made public. Will the central bank make banks' bad debts public in the coming period?
Making public banks' business criteria is part of the roadmap to ensure banks' transparent information. It also depends on bank actual performance.
How will the State Bank support stock and property market in 2012?
Directive 01/CT-NHNN focuses on expediting measures to put the macro-economy on a stable footing and concentrating capital sources into production and export. Hence, securities trading and property will continue to be areas not specified as priority by the government and the State Bank in 2012. However, the State Bank will make suitable adjustments in the field.
Credit growth to non-productive areas is capped at 16 per cent in 2012.

Thought I would see if I could capture the feel of the tide approaching . Taken at dusk perched on rocks with the aid of a Benbo tripod with legs you can lock at any angle . The exposure was around 30 seconds at f16 using a Canon10D with a 17-34 Tamrom at 17 mm . I believe I achieved what I set out to do and find peace whenever I look at this picture . Its my screensaver at work and usually pops up just when needed and is without manipulation , as the camera recorded .
Great image. I love the colour, too.
Beautiful!! I love the feel and the color in this shot!! :-)

Love these shoes. These are the second pair of Gazelles I've owned and they look and feel fantastic. My 1st pair were red and wore them daily for about year before the sole wore a hole. These are working out just as well. Only minor gripe is they don't handle wet weather that well. On wet surfaces they become very slippy and because they're suede it can ruin the look. But you can't fault the shoe for this as I chose them because of their suede upper. Would recommend to anyone.

IRVINE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/05/12 -- Backup and disaster recovery software developer Paragon Software Group (PSG) announced that Boise State University's TRiO Educational Talent Search and TRiO Upward Bound Programs selected Paragon's Hard Disk Manager (HDM) to save time and resources to deploy and/or reimage desktop systems.
Boise State University's TRiO Educational Talent Search (ETS) and Upward Bound programs provide outreach and assistance to first-generation college bound and low-income students. The programs maintain ten to twelve off-site classrooms with three to five computers each, requiring regular reimaging.
After researching a software options, Corey Simpson, IT coordinator for Boise State University's ETS and Upward Bound program, scheduled a demonstration of Paragon's HDM.
"We needed to decrease the amount of time we were spending on reimaging machines," said Simpson. "One of the features I looked for in a solution was the ability to process multiple restores on the network -- Paragon was the only vendor offering the features I needed as well as disk partition and other disk management tools."
Before purchasing a technician's license, the reimaging process took about three to four hours per machine -- essentially each machine required a new build. With HDM, the process now requires 30 to 40 minutes.
"HDM is a time saver that comes with useful tools for added flexibility," continued Simpson. "It also gives me the ability to backup a hard drive before reimaging, providing peace of mind that if it fails I can restore the drive to its original state."
"Paragon HDM is a great alternative to Symantec Ghost or Backup Exec or Acronis True Image," explains Daniel Eickhoff, director of channel sales at Paragon. "In fact, 75 percent or our new customers are switching to Paragon from Symantec or Acronis. Customers choose Paragon because of our innovative technology, cost-effective licensing and outstanding US-based technical support."
HDM is a complete solution for image-based backup and disaster recovery. An available Virtual Server add-on component enables technicians to back up virtual servers and leverage an existing virtual environment for instant server recovery.
- Bare-metal restore to dissimilar hardware and instant server recovery to VM
- Incremental and differential backups
- Live server migrations (P2P, P2V, V2V, V2P)
- Wizards and easy scheduling for set-and-forget operations
- Scripting engine for advanced or unique backup requirements
- Customizable WinPE and DOS/Linux recovery media
- Advanced partitioning and automatic partition alignment
- Highly secure disk wiping algorithms (DoD certified)

Cute panda cub loves soccer ball
A video of a baby panda bobbling a soccer ball warms hearts around the Internet this Christmas.
A twenty-week-old baby panda turned into an instant YouTube star earlier than expected. Xiao Liwu was supposed to make his public debut at the San Diego Zoo when he can already climb and follow his mother, but his recent video hugging a soccer ball became an Internet hit.
As the vets measured his length during a physical exam, Xiao Liwu clinched his tiny paws around the soccer ball, almost the size of his head. He squeezed the ball tightly each time a playful vet tried to steal it.
Since posting, Xiao Liwu's video has been seen more than 321,000 times on YouTube.
Xiao Liwu now measures 29 inches and weighs 14.5 pounds. He can be watched 24 hours a day through a Panda Cam at the zoo.

This is a very friendly restaurant with very good Portuguese food - and not as pricey as Jersey often is. Open Sunday evenings also
Good food, friendly staff and fine wine at a very reasonable price also excellent company what more do you want.
We planned this meal for Steve Ryder,s birthday.steve&Tracey were visiting for 5 days to visit& for Tracey to go to jersey live.Tracey,s aunty Jean&uncle malc joined us for a great evening,super food
Best service from Nelia& her staff.and not forgetting chef&mein host Alby.this
Was a good experience for Jean&malc as it was their 1st time in jersey,they will return.
Visiting Jersey on our honeymoon, we only went to Abilio's because it had been recommended by a friend of a friend who lives in Jersey. The frontage is basic, however inside is a comfy and cosy restaurant with delicious, well cooked and well flavoured food. We were pleased with the price, as both the food and wine was good value....
Saw this rather uninspiring frontage and almost didn't go in.
Very glad we did though as the food, wine and service was second to none. Will definitely go back.
A small and cosy restaurant serving delicious seafood and good wines at an acceptable price and very good service.
excellant, food was absolutely deliscious all home made and fresh
sevice was polite and proffesional but warm and freindly too
As soon as I walked through the door I was immediately impressed by the decorations and the layout of the room. Everything is so well decorated and the restaurant had a lovely relaxed atmosphere. There are loads of dishes and the food was great. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Overall, I would recommend visiting this lovely restaurant.
We thought we would try this intimate bistro style restaurant as we do enjoy the flavours of Portugese food but this was the best of dining experiences. A comprehensive menu that gave so many options and reasonably priced wine in a friendly setting started the evening well. The food was tasty and tender and came with a variety of side...
We needed somewhere to set on a Sunday night. We decided to try Abilios because of its reviews and it was open. The place was full - primarily the Portuguese community who all knew each other. Family groups and all generations. Lively but not rowdy atmosphere. We were greeted in a very friendly way and we had a good time....

Where is LN?
Soooo it's been while. The last few weeks i've been busy working on a few projects, namely some freelance work, and a pitch for NYCC. I SHOULD be back soon, hopefully by the end of the month. Until then, hang tight!
In the meantime, I'll also be heading to Another Anime Con in Manchester, NH later in the month, and Rhode Island Comic Con for Halloween!
There is now a store for the comic! Right now it's physical versions of the first three chapters, but hopefully soon I'll have some other cool swag up. The link is available in the menu up top.
I will also be heading to Boston Comic Con this coming weekend! I will post more information later in the week.
MoCCA Fest!
Lost Nova will be at MoCCA Fest this coming weekend! I'll be sitting with the lovely and talented Olivia Dinall, Mike Luckas and Steve Yurko at table D-21.
There's also a few new pieces in the gallery, including some fanart!
Hopefully when I come back from MoCCA Fest, I'll be able to start on a few fun things, like, adding the Store, and maybe Patreon?
I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday! We'll be going back to our regularly scheduled updates in the new year. Have a good one!
Hiatus and Cons
Thanks very much to Mew Xaos for their guest strips. The comic is still on hiatus but it'll be coming back hopefully by some time in November.
In the mean time I'll working on chapter four, and I'll be heading to a number of cons back to back to back to back, starting with New York Comic Con! I won't have a table but I'll be walking around with some friends. Weekend after I'll be at Another Anime Con up in Manchester, NH and I will have a table there. I'll add where I'll be located as soon as I find out.
I'll also be heading to my first furry convention the weekend before Halloween in the form of FurFright. It should be interesting and a good learning experience. First weekend of November I'm heading to another new con for me: Rhode Island Comic Con in Providence, RI. After November I'll be taking a break from the convention scene for a few months and I should be coming back in February or March, and hopefully with some new merch related to Lost Nova!
I'll be at ComiCONN in Trumbull, CT this coming Saturday!
Lost Nova Needs Your Help!
The comic is still under a bit of a hiatus, but hopefully I'll be back to working on it in the next few weeks. In the mean time, I'll be heading to AnimeNEXT next weekend. I'll be at table 39 in the artist alley, once again with my partner in crime Seana of Maiden Apprentice.

November 27, 2014
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack may soon have approval to expand the use of electronic table games.
The West Virginia Lottery Commission is discussing that matter and others Friday in Charleston.
Spokeswoman Kim Florence says Wheeling Island wants to offer blackjack and roulette 24 hours a day, seven days a week, even when a live dealer is unavailable.
She says that happens while live tables are full, or when they're closed during early morning hours.
Wheeling Island recently announced it will renew its table games license July 1, reconsidering an earlier threat.
But President Osi Imomoh says the casino faces "drastic declines" in revenues and still needs a long-term solution from the Legislature to make table games a profitable part of its business.
That could include slashing the $2.5 million licensing fee.

Lawmakers hear board's concerns on teacher retirement, new standards
New educational standards topic of legislative meeting
Kari Williams
Staff Reporter
write the author
February 06, 2013 -
Concerns about the public teacher retirement system and new educational standards were voiced last week by Mehlville Board of Education members during a meeting with local legislators.
Board member Mark Stoner addressed his uneasiness about the long-term sustainability of the Public School Retirement System, or PSRS, though he believes "very firmly" professional staff should have a "good retirement program."
"It's a little bit out of lockstep with some of the overall direction of many retirement systems," Stoner said, "and I wonder if in the long term, and it's a fairly difficult issue, I'll say that — it is a difficult issue, but I think at some point that the Legislature (does) need to take that up."
Contributions to PSRS and the Public Education Employee Retirement System, or PEERS, come from PSRS/PEERS members and school districts.
The PSRS contribution rate for the 2012-2013 school year is a combined 29 percent — 14.5 percent from educators and 14.5 percent from school districts — the same rate as last school year.
The PEERS contribution rate for the current school year also did not increase. Employees and school districts each contribute 6.86 percent to the retirement system.
The PSRS funding ratio was 85 percent in 2011, whereas the PEERS funding ratio was 85.3 percent the same year.
Rep. Marsha Haefner, R-Oakville, said Rep. Mike Leara, R-Concord, hopes to bring PSRS representatives "to the table" because there is a "big issue with the sunset provisions" of the PSRS retirement program.
"(PSRS representatives have) got to come to the table to at least talk about that and then get a conversation going," Haefner said.
Rep. Vicki Englund, D-St. Louis, said the 25-and-out early retirement provision, which offers retirement for those 55 years old or younger with reduced benefits, is one aspect that will sunset in July.
Haefner said it will take a "collaborative effort" to make the changes that "need to happen."
"We're hoping because of these sunsets we can begin this dialogue and start moving in the right direction," Haefner said.
Sen. Scott Sifton, D-Affton, said it takes "things like sunsets to push things to the table," which may "get a dialogue going this year."
Regarding the Common Core State Standards — national education standards intended to prepare students for college and the work force — Stoner questioned what the impact will be on the "local autonomy of a school."
Haefner said there is "a lot of heartburn" over the Common Core State Standards due to the financial aspect and "the whole premise of it."
Knost told the Call he does not expect "significant costs" for Mehlville in relation to the Common Core State Standards.
Although, the superintendent said curriculum is developed based on the district's needs.
"We still write and develop our own curriculum," Knost said. "Yes, it has to align to the Common Core, and to be very frank with you, there's a lot I like about the Common Core. There (are) some things I don't like about the Common Core, but I do not think even those areas where maybe I would say I don't like as much, I don't feel that it handcuffs us."
Haefner said the issue is not just the curriculum itself, but the cost of implementing the standards, which must be completed by the 2014-2015 school year. The estimated costs for professional development, textbooks and technology could cost Missouri more than $325 million, Haefner told the Call via email.
"There's a price tag to it and the money's going to have to come from somewhere in education," she said.
*EDITOR'S NOTE: An additional comment from Rep. Marsha Haefner regarding the estimated cost of implementing Common Core State Standards was added after the Call went to press and is exclusively in the online version of this article.

I only have a few thoughts.
I wouldn't use hybrids on the front, just the rear. Get x3 weapons for the front. Grab crthx2 hybrids for the rear. Turrets are crap dmg, but good for procs. Disruptors on a KDF ships is pretty obvious also.
Not a fan of your skill tree. The only skills I would spend more than 7 points into are those that effect DMG, Crits, Hull Strength and Shield Strength. You're an "In & Out" fighter, most of those slots that you spent 9 in won't make enough of a difference to warrant the extra 2 points. What you save there can be spent else where.
The same can be said on Hull & Shield repair skill points. 3 in each is all you need if you are going to stay in a BoP. Your ship will repair on it's own pretty fast under cloak and who says you want your hull @ 100% anyway. Use the dmg from one run to boost the dmg on the next with Go Down Fighting.
You might even want to consider Driver Coil. Sounds stupid, but it will raise your full impulse speed and allow you to catch up to that Fed who is running away.
I'd toss out the Omega/Honor mix and just go with either the Borg set for survival or Honor Guard for faster escape.

I think it's got to do with the tooltip. And Vuhdo has a module to modify just that. Might not have to do with loot directly. Maybe it's the mouseover on NPCs or other players making the client crash when loot rolls are up and I'm in combat? I don't know. But I know I crash only when Vuhdo is active.
Edit: I found the game stopped crashing when turning off tooltip in combat. But there's something not working propperly there. Something changed last version of Vuhdo or WoW. Minor annoyance to me but at least I figured it out. Better than going with Grid. Vuhdo is far superior!
