Gov. signs execution warrant for murderer of Elizabethtown man
Ray Diener gunned down after trying to help his killers
Gov. Tom Corbett has signed the execution warrant for a man who gunned down a Lancaster County man in front of his home in May 2007.
Abraham Sanchez Jr., 24, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death for killing Ray Diener, of Elizabethtown.
"Abraham Sanchez Jr. repeatedly shot Ray Diener … during a botched robbery attempt in May 2007. Sanchez and three friends were driving around, looking for a home to burglarize, when they noticed an isolated home with a light on and the victim sitting at a table inside," a news release from the governor's office states.
Sanchez hid in bushes while his accomplices rang the doorbell. They told Diener their car had broken down and Diener went to get his cell phone to help. When he came back outside, Sanchez emerged and ordered Diener to the ground.
"According to court documents, Diener grabbed the gun, crying 'No, no, no.' He and Sanchez wrestled over the gun. Sanchez fired, hitting Diener in the groin area and fracturing his hip. Diener fell to the ground, pleading for help. Sanchez backed up and shot Diener in the chest. Sanchez shot Diener a third time, hitting him in the neck and shoulder. The suspects fled and Diener was pronounced dead at the scene," the news release states.
Sanchez's execution has been scheduled for March 7.
Victim remembered as giving man
Ray Diener was known to many as someone who always volunteered his time. He and his wife, Barbara, volunteered with the organization Brittany's Hope, which helps children with special needs from other countries find adoptive homes. Diener and his family would often open their home to adoptive families who needed a place to stay.
Diener also ran a water purification business and sometimes helped install purification systems in third-world countries.
Diener had three grown children and five grandchildren.

May brings the 10th annual IA 25 (well, ninth if you don't count our special 30th anniversary edition, "Thirty for Thirty," in 2010), Investment Advisor's editors' pick of the 25 most influential people in the industry. Over the years, we've named people to the list for good influences, as well as bad, but ultimately, we feel everyone listed here will change the way advisors do business in some way.
This year includes some new faces and a few familiar ones. Unfortunately, print constraints being what they are, we were forced to cut—a lot—from the profiles in the magazine to fit everyone in. So, we'll be publishing extended profiles online over the rest of April and through May. Click here to see a schedule of special IA 25 coverage.
Also in this issue, Savita Iyer-Ahrestani asks, "Is Russia another Arab Spring in the making?" She speaks with several experts on Russia to find out how political movements there are affecting the Russian investing landscape.
Plus, Bob Seawright explains why passively managed products have robbed active managers of market share and what they need to do to get it back. "Successful active management demands bravery," he says.
Finally, Timothy Welsh of Nexus Strategy explains why advisors need to invest in technology now in order to take advantage of the tremendous return on investment it will provide.

Some people ride a wave, and some people create a wave. Elliot Weissbluth of HighTower is a creator and has changed the conversation on and about Wall Street and the role of advisors. His backers at the Chicago-based firm founded five years ago believed in his vision, and the many top wirehouse brokers who have bought into the HighTower approach have validated that vision.
It's a simple approach: Clients can benefit from the intellectual capital of the biggest firms on the Street while being served under a strict fiduciary mantle. Those ex-wirehouse brokers benefit from HighTower's growing scale and ability to force everyone from bond trading desks to RIA custodians to compete for their business. They also benefit from being part of an elite peer group that has input on who else can join the partnership, while retaining the independence to run their own specific practices in their own way.
"The old dialogue," Weissbluth tells Group Editor-in-Chief James J. Green, "which was 'independent good; Wall Street bad,' was never an intellectually honest discussion. There's tremendous value and innovation on Wall Street."
The Race for ROI: Now Is the Time to Invest in Technology
Historically, advisors have underinvested in technology because they could afford to. For the last couple of decades, advisors have benefited from a general upward march of the markets, which translated into a nice annual raise based on an asset management fee. This "hidden subsidy" weakened management discipline, fostered manual processes and created larger operational footprints than are currently sustainable.
With today's volatile markets and wirehouses shrinking themselves, combined with an onslaught of baby boomers just beginning to retire, the demand for independent advice has never been greater. Timothy Welsh, president and founder of Nexus Strategy, shares what advisors can do to get the most out of their technology dollar.
When a tearful Vladimir Putin accepted the Russian presidency in early March, his political opponents, who had endorsed the view that his victory was fraudulently won, were confident that the protests that began after a disputed parliamentary election in December were not a flash in the pan.
Russia and Russians were angry, they said, fed up of the allegedly undemocratic ways in which their politics have been run. They wanted change, they would fight for change, and they would continue to protest until they got the changes they sought.
Is Russia another Arab Spring in the making? Despite the serious political awakening that the Russian population is experiencing, most pundits and analysts have said no. But there's no denying that political risk has become the No. 1 concern for anyone investing in Russia, undoubtedly leading some to cut back on their exposure to one of the largest emerging markets in the world. Savita Iyer-Ahrestani discusses this and other concerns with several experts on Russia.
Calling First Eagle Funds an "overlooked manager" is a bit like calling Warren Buffett poor or Bill Gross pedestrian; it just doesn't fit. But how much do you really know about First Eagle Funds? Sure, it's racked up fantastic performance and given us legendary investors like Jean-Marie Eveillard, but its history is just as fascinating, and the tradition in which it's steeped is a big part of its success.
John Arnhold, First Eagle Investment Management's chairman and CIO, is a scion of the family that started the firm in Dresden, Germany, in 1864. It's quite a tale, and Arnhold sat down with Editor-in-Chief John Sullivan to explain it, along with the firm's interest in Japan (post-natural disaster, as well as long before) and why alpha is simply a Greek letter.
When it comes to marketing financial services, it's a numbers game. Getting the message to more people means more contacts, more prospecting meetings, more clients—or so the conventional wisdom goes. There's a hidden number in that equation, however, that many advisors don't consider—the number of hours spent following up and meeting with prospects who, for whatever reason, aren't a right fit for the advisor's practice.
Many advisors view marketing as casting a net. The bigger and more finely woven the net, the better, because fewer prospects escape. The problem with a big, tightly knit net is that it will indeed catch everything: those high-net-worth big fish, medium and smaller fish, along with tires, tin cans and weeds. The best advisor marketing nets actually need big holes in them – holes that let all the undesirable junk fall through and hold on to just the big fish. Natalie Hadley, corporate communications manager for Securities America Inc., explains how to get your net just the right size.
Paul Samuelson issued his famous "Challenge to Judgment" in 1974 urging money managers to show whether they could consistently beat market averages. Those who couldn't, Samuelson argued, should simply go out of business.
Unable (or unwilling) generally to meet Samuelson's challenge, active managers have steadily ceded market share to passive-style investment vehicles ever since. Although the idea took root slowly, passively managed funds now control in excess of 25% of all domestic equity fund assets. Bob Seawright explains how managers can work to take back that market share without taking on excessive levels of risk.
Power in Practice: A Coaching Program to Last a Career—Part One
To help advisors gain a competitive edge by confidently embracing their leadership roles, Commonwealth Financial Network launched Power in Practice, a year-long business coaching program. In this first of a four-article series, Joni Youngwirth follows a group of advisors as they embark on the 2012 Power in Practice program, sharing key lessons and insights they pick up along the way.

(CNN) — Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson said Friday he objects to the federal Transportation Security Administration's move this week to allow small pocketknives on airplanes.
"These items have been banned for more than 11 years and will add little value to the customer security process flow in relation to the additional risk for our cabin staff and customers," Anderson said in a letter to the head of the TSA.
TSA Administrator John Pistole said the move brings the United States into alignment with international rules and are keeping with his "risk-based security" approach.
Under the new rules, knives with blades no longer than 2.36 inches (6 centimeters) and less than a half-inch wide will be allowed in airline cabins as long as the blade is retractable and does not lock into place. Razorblades and box cutters are still prohibited.
The rules also allow passengers to carry two golf clubs, toy bats or other sports sticks — such as ski poles, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks and pool cues — aboard in carry-on luggage.
Kip Hawley, who oversaw the TSA from 2005 to 2009, said the search for knives interferes with the search for objects such as bombs and toxins that can threaten aircraft.
But others have sharply criticized the change, which was announced this week.
They include the Flight Attendants Union Coalition, a nearly 90,000-member group that has launched a campaign to reverse the TSA's decision.
Former flight attendant Tiffany Hawk is "stupefied" by the move, "especially since the process that turns checkpoints into maddening logjams — removing shoes, liquids and computers — remains unchanged," she wrote in an opinion column for CNN.
The Delta chief is among those critical voices, saying that he and his airline's flight attendants "share (the same) legitimate concerns."
"If the purpose is to increase security checkpoint flow, there are much more effective steps we can take together to streamline the security checkpoints with risk-based screening mechanisms," Anderson said.

Last year J.D. Power surveyed car owners on "whether or not they use their vehicles off paved roads." Jeep had the most "yeses," with 31% of owners claiming they left the pavement. Ram was right behind at 30.2%, followed closely by Subaru with 29.5% of owners reporting they hit the dirt.
Autoblog found these surveys and say Land Rover owners reported less off-roading than the top three and Ford, GMC, or Chevrolet drivers with "less than 20%" of people taking their Rovers off asphalt.
Man, I knew most new Land Rovers ended up in fancy corners of metropolises but I would have thought more than 20% of owners would at least tell survey-takers they bring their SUVs on adventures!
AB says Subaru really owns off-roading in wagons, with "some 34.7% of Outbacks [going] off paved roads, compared to its next-closest competitor, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, at a distant 21.1%."

Another silly question from the 'Reformed VB/ASP Developer' .......
I am learning Java and want to eventually move on to Corba, Servlets, and
JSP. I have an NT Server
with IIS 4.0 installed on which I learned VB/ASP development, now I need
to set up for Enterprise and
Web Java. So ...
Does Apache Server for NT process Servlets?
Does Apache Server for NT process Java Server Pages?
What are the cheapest Web/App servers for NT that will do this?
Should I install Linux for Servlet and JSP development?
If Linux ... which Web/App servers will process both these file types?
What about processing beans? Will any Java enabled web server process Javabeans?
Are Javabeans just like COM components in VB, and as such reside on any Java
web server?
Any ideas about how to set up hardware/software combinations to learn Servlets,
Java Server
Pages, and Enterprise Javabeans will be greatly appreciated. And type slowly
... 'cause I'm
coming from a Microsoft development background and I just can't read very
Thanks again folks!

Who is she?
One would be lying if one said that Kalie was an easy-going character! Authoritarian and often aggressive, she possesses qualities that are more readily attributed to a man than a woman and seeks to take charge and be the one to give the orders. Furthermore, she isn´t lacking in courage and when she really wants to she is capable of considerable effort in order to achieve her ends. She is materialistic and ambitious, and quite interested in the financial sphere, generally possessing good business sense and a paradoxical relationship with money: at times verging on greed with a tendency to hoard, while at others she can be quite the spendthrift. Her behaviour is likely to vary between these two antagonistic tendencies. She is usually capable of sound judgement and possesses fine practical skills. Somewhat bad-tempered, one couldn´t really say that she seeks to please others; in fact it´s more the other way around, although she does have a certain magnetism. What she desires is power, above all else; and until she obtains it she is likely to be contentious, bitter, disillusioned, egocentric, jealous and cynical because she cannot tolerate failure or mediocrity. If she is able to reach her goals, she will undoubtedly show greater generosity and tolerance. Rather abrupt and frank in her personal interactions, she can be very argumentative and even quite rude if she doesn´t like somebody. Furthermore, her feelings of affinity or antipathy are immediate, and it is not recommended to rub her up the wrong way because she can be particularly spiteful and even takes a certain pleasure in getting revenge. Parents, proceed with caution!... When Kalie has decided that she wants something, she will insist on it; once, twice, ten times, a hundred times... until you give in and let her have her way, which you may be tempted to do because her outbursts of anger can be quite impressive, and her sulkiness even more tiresome to endure... Sport and physical activity in general are highly recommended to enable her to burn off some of her excess energy. She is of practical intelligence with a more or less rational and methodical mind which could be an asset for studying science or mathematics. Finally, she will need to learn the value of patience, moderation and sharing; notions that are not particularly well developed in her character.
What does she like?
She is quite anxious by nature, and can lack confidence in herself - even though outside appearances seem to indicate that the opposite is true. She therefore appreciates peace and quiet, security and stability. Her romantic life is far from easy, because her excessive modesty prevents her from baring her body and soul, and Kalie doen´t feel very uncomfortable talking about her feelings and emotions. She isn´t really a sentimental soul and she is even less romantic, however she is quite sensitive to the social standing of a potential partner. Usually faithful, possessive and uncompromising, she could reveal herself to be a real green-eyed monster if she feels abandoned or if she suspects that there is a risk of her partner being unfaithful.
Get your free Personality test card now !!
What does she do?
She tends to favour the personal and professional spheres over family life. She could be tempted by a lucrative career, such as management, banking, finance, business or accounting; occupations in connection with nature and the land..., manual occupations or in relation to "cutting" instruments: nurse, surgeon, sculptor or dressmaker...

Gameranx: "New details have surfaced about Grand Theft Auto V and its missions."

Game of the year 2013, between GTAV and The Last of Us . Which will be Nakeouted ?
box art and hopefully release date in hrs! only a couple of days max
I can't help but feel after all this hype that a big chunk of us gamers will disappointed all the while most of the "critics" will go as far as calling it game of the millennium; that 98 on Metacritic for GTAIV is just laughable. Still I hope I'm wrong.

The Weinstein Company has scored a couple of victories in the ratings battle over Bully, striking a deal with AMC Theaters to allow moviegoers under the age of 17 to see the bullying documentary despite Weinstein's decision to release the movie without an MPAA rating.
Unrated movies are typically treated as NC-17 -- no minors allowed, even with parental permission -- by the MPAA and theater owners, but AMC has made an exception for Bully, letting kids 17 or under into the movie with a parent or a signed permission slip.
Meanwhile, independent movie rating group Common Sense Media has issued a "13+" rating for Bully, the same rating it gave The Hunger Games.
The Weinstein Company has decided to use that rating, instead of the MPAA's proposed "R" (for strong language), on Bully's promotional poster, marking the first time a CSM rating has been used by a studio to promote a film.

By Jove: The Biz Buzz
Aha weekly tidbits for the HT Insider
Ok, so what are they saying? The Friday after Thanksgiving is no longer black, its charcoal grey? Or is it barely black and now starts at 8 pm on the day before. Wasn't grey the new black this year, anyway?
According to the WSJ, Tuesday 11/26 black Friday is a retail illusion. I guess the market expression, "Mark it up to mark it down." finally traveled from 7th Ave. to Wall St. Article- http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304281004579222370781619390
In case you missed the NYT, Sunday 11/21 article "It Takes a Lot of Money to Look This Good" both Emma Sosa and Joan Volpe (FIT Center for Professional Studies) were quoted. The article validates personal shopping as a service and career opportunity. Kind of reminds me of the old cliché "Does Macy's tell Gimbel's?" since the WSJ ran "Really Personal Shopping" on 12/4 underscoring the same theme. Of course we knew the value of the personal shopper already since Image Consulting is the longest running Professional Development certificate program. But it is so nice to see top media thinking like us. Article- http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/01/fashion/Personal-Shoppers-Still-Busy.html?smid=pl-share
At the Retail Marketing Society luncheon on Tuesday 12/4 (absolutely one of the best networking and learning experiences in the market, www.retailmarketingsociety.org) the always profound Robin Lewis told it like it is in retail today "The Retail Future: Landscape or Landmines". According to Robin the faster retailers embrace an Omni-Channel strategy the better their chances of survival. Pure players will not grow and Amazon is already opening stores. Robin says the market desperately needs talent who understand Omni-Channel and can adapt decisions and merchandising to multi-formats. Head's up all of you taking courses in the Omni-Channel certificate.
Have you noticed? Students in the Color certificate program develop a trend forecast in SXC 260 and try to predict the hottest color for the coming season which is then used for the next Hot Topics catalog.
Guess what color Spring 2014 HT will be???
"Love it or Hate it, a new Pink is coming" the WSJ, Thursday, 12/5 as well as Gawker and several other media sources. Just remember we've known about that color for weeks – it's a Hot Topic! Article- http://gawker.com/the-2014-color-of-the-year-assaults-eyeballs-everywhere-1477259786

Mumford & Sons are letting England shine in their new video for "Lover Of The Light." The folk group enlisted the help of premiere British actor Idris Elba to star in and co-direct the clip. For fans of The Wire and anglophiles who keep a close eye on BBC America, Elba is a familiar face. He starred as Stringer Bell in the critically acclaimed HBO show over two seasons. He's also the titular character in the BBC's mini-series Luther, for which he won a Golden Globe in 2012.
Elba is accompanied by co-director Dan Candan, who has assisted in a few tour docs for Madonna along with several British film shorts.
I want to share this with you… I wrote & directed this video for @mumfordandsons Very proud amazing song -> driis.com/blog/2012/11/0…
— Idris Elba (@idriselba) November 5, 2012
The clip finds Elba enlivened by a British sunrise, waking up to the rays of the sun. He seems to chatter to himself while making breakfast and frolicking in the countryside. It is unclear if he is deeply attuned to nature or slightly off his rocker, thinking himself to be a deer in the wild. As the clip proceeds it becomes unclear if Elba is even in the wilderness in reality or simply suffering a bought of dissociative disorder.
The message is one of man's suffering at his unhealthy disconnection from nature. Much more harrowing than expected from the uptempo song, but punctuated by the excellent acting skills of Elba.

That was NOT funny. Sheeeesh! Three day weekend and this is what I come back to.
Blast! I pride myself on not falling for the Barrynet joke, and you got me.
Now when are we going to find out the secret that the POPE was going to tell us in 1960?
Wait! I thought it was somebody called Felt Marker.
He got me too! We've been lulled into a false sense of 'Dave is bored and SO over the whole Manilow thing' and have failed to check before clicking.

Oh, Woodward, I came and I blabbed about Nixon

Mmmmm, Barry...
Thanks Dave!
All those Republicans can sleep easy knowing it's a bureaucrat,and not a political appointee.For years they thought it was Dean,or his wife,or Martha Mitchell,or somebody important,when it was simply the man with the files. Isn't that the way. Lenin was replaced by Stalin,the man with the files,the Party Secretary.As J.Edgar Hoover knew,if you have the file cabinet,you have the power.

Ok, I don't like him that much... Sheesh!
*hangs head in shame*
Not surprised, but a disturbing thought nonetheless.
Gary - Dave sneaks in a link to Barry Manilow once in a while and you're a sucker if you actually click on the link. Today, I'm a sucker.
At first, I thought you were just being silly or even mean spirited, Dave. Now I know better.
Aaaaaugh! Dammit, you got me, too!
Somebody call Mrs. Barry and tell her Dave doesn't have enough to do. When was the last time the pool was cleaned, smart guy? At the very least I bet it has bugs in it that could stand to be scooped out . . . .
Dodged that bullet - thank you, Mr Status Bar!
Aaaugh, I fell for it too. Next time, I'm going to read the comments first!
And here I thought it was Jack!
good one dave! tomorrow this Felt fella will be on all the chat shows describing... etc. ugh. i'm gonna have to go back to watching barney.
hmmm, i thought it was gonna be cher.
Episode Sixty of DeepT Impossible
Recorded Voice: So, Mr. Felt, IF you decide to take this assignment, and should you fail, The Agency will disavowel any acknwledg yu, or any mmber of yur tem.
Mr. Felt: Er, ok
Recorded Voice: This cigar will self destruct in twent
Mr. Felt: CRAP!
I'm glad to have your sympathy, Marie. If I had space, and if I wasn't afraid of boring you to death, I could go into gruesome detail about what a pathetic slob my ex was. Suffice to say that my ex makes my husband of 18 years look like a perfect saint.
Oh, and BTW, Marie, my husband looks upon Barely Man-enough with total contempt.
Count me as another victim of the barrynet joke. I've gotten sloppy.
Thanks Dave, good job
I thought that was something he did, not who he was.
Not that there is anything wrong with that
No,no, Deep Throat was some FBI guy. Barry is Deep Snout.

What Is Didanosine?
ddI (Videx) is a drug used as part of antiretroviral therapy (ART). It is manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb and by Barr Laboratories. Didanosine is also known as ddI or dideoxyinosine. Generic versions have been tentatively approved under PEPFAR (see Fact Sheet 925).
Didanosine is a nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor, or nuke. These drugs block the reverse transcriptase enzyme. This enzyme changes HIV's genetic material (RNA) into the form of DNA. This has to occur before HIV's genetic code gets inserted into an infected cell's own genetic codes.
Who Should Take Didanosine?
Didanosine was approved in 1991 as an antiretroviral drug (ARV) for people with HIV infection. The generic version was approved in 2004. It has been studied in adults and children who weigh at least 20 kg (44 lbs.). There are no absolute rules about when to start ART. You and your health care provider should consider your CD4 cell count, your viral load, any symptoms you are having, and your attitude about taking ART. Fact Sheet 404 has more information about guidelines for the use of ART.
If you take didanosine with other ARVs, you can reduce your viral load to extremely low levels, and increase your CD4 cell counts. This should mean staying healthier longer.
What About Drug Resistance?
Many new copies of HIV are mutations. They are slightly different from the original virus. Some mutations can keep multiplying even when you are taking an ARV. When this happens, the drug will stop working. This is called "developing resistance" to the drug. See Fact Sheet 126 for more information on resistance.
Sometimes, if your virus develops resistance to one drug, it will also have resistance to other ARVs. This is called "cross-resistance."
Resistance can develop quickly. It is very important to take ARVs according to instructions, on schedule, and not to skip or reduce doses.
How Is Didanosine Taken?
Didanosine is available in a slow-release capsule (Videx EC) in capsules of various strengths, and as a powder that is dissolved in water. Videx EC should be taken with an empty stomach. Do not chew it; swallow it whole.
The recommended dose of didanosine is based on weight. For people weighing at least 20 kg (44 lbs.) but less than 25 kg (55 lbs.) the dose is 200 mg (milligrams) daily; more than 25 kg but less than 60 kg (between 55 and 132 lbs.), 250 mg daily; and over 60 kg (132 lbs.), the dose is 400 mg once a day.
If you have had liver or kidney problems, the dose of didanosine may need to be reduced.
The original form of didanosine could not be absorbed in an acid environment. It contained a buffer to reduce the effects of stomach acid. The original form of didanosine was taken on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before eating or two hours after a meal. Taking it with food reduced blood levels by as much as 50%.
What Are the Side Effects?
When you start any ART you may have temporary side effects such as headaches, high blood pressure, or a general sense of feeling ill. These side effects usually get better or disappear over time.
The most common side effects of didanosine are diarrhea, headaches, vomiting and rash. Diarrhea, caused by the buffer in the tablets, is sometimes severe. Side effects are less common with the EC version of didanosine.
In rare cases, didanosine may cause a serious liver problem called portal hypertension. Other serious side effects of didanosine are peripheral neuropathy, pancreatitis, and lactic acidosis:
Peripheral neuropathy is a form of nerve damage. It occurs in up to 20% of people who take didanosine. It usually shows up as tingling, numbness, or a sharp burning sensation in the feet, legs, or hands. The nerve damage is usually temporary and will go away if you stop taking didanosine, or reduce the dose. If you continue to take didanosine after nerve damage shows up, it may become permanent. See Fact Sheet 555 for more information.
Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas, a large gland located behind the stomach. Less than 7% of people get it, usually after taking didanosine for a few months. Pancreatitis can be fatal. If you are taking didanosine and have sharp pain near your stomach, back, or sides, with nausea and vomiting, stop taking didanosine immediately and call your health care provider. Pancreatitis is more common in older patients, people who have had it before, and those with kidney problems.
Lactic acidosis is a buildup of lactic acid in the blood. This is a by-product of abnormal energy production by the cells. It may be caused by damage to the mitochondria. See Fact Sheet 556 for more information on mitochondrial toxicity. Lactic acidosis can cause severe damage to the pancreas and liver. Symptoms of lactic acidosis can include weight loss, abdominal pain, and severe fatigue.
Didanosine may also cause some immune disorders through immune restoration syndrome (see Fact Sheet 481). This can occur many months after initiation of treatment.
How Does Didanosine React With Other Drugs?
Didanosine can interact with other drugs or supplements you are taking. These interactions can change the amount of each drug in your bloodstream and cause an under- or overdose. New interactions are constantly being identified. Make sure that your health care provider knows about ALL drugs and supplements you are taking.
- Didanosine may be more effective if taken with hydroxyurea (see Fact Sheet 427). However, this increases the risk of developing pancreatitis.
- Methadone decreases blood levels of didanosine. If you take both medications, use the "EC" (enteric coated) version of didanosine.
- Do not combine didanosine with stavudine (d4T, Zerit).
- Pregnant women should not take didanosine and d4T at the same time due to an increased risk of lactic acidosis.
- Didanosine should not be taken at the same time as protease inhibitors, antifungal drugs (names end in "azole") or some antibiotics. Separation times are different for different medications. Check the instructions for your medications. The newer Videx EC capsules do not interact with these medications and can usually be taken at the same time.
- Tenofovir (Viread) increases didanosine levels. Didanosine and tenofovir should not be used together, especially in patients with a high viral load and a low CD4 count. Some patients have had serious side effects related to high levels of didanosine.
- Ribavirin (used to treat hepatitis C) increases didanosine levels and increases the risk of side effects associated with didanosine. People should not take both ribavirin and didanosine.

Safety Issues
The electrolysis of water creates a combustible optimized mixture of 2 parts Hydrogen (H) and 1 part Oxygen (O). The combustion of this gas mixture, also termed as detonating gas, again creates a few drops of water in vacuum. The combustion of the gas mixture by burning as a stable flame is, provided the needed knowhow is available, absolutely safe. Only very low gas pressure levels do exist and also there is only about a four liter of gas in the system at any time.
No gas storage, it is JIT (just-in-time) gas production synchronized to the consumption. This means almost 1/100'000th of energy stored when compared to pressurized gas bottles, eg acetylene.
The Spirflame® has several independent multiple level staged gas excess pressure safety circuits.
Even a flash-back introduced into the Spirflame® interns will be safely absorbed by the hi-strength tank volume design, patented USA 5,217,507 / Europe 0462825 / Germany DE 691 17 354.
A Spirflame model 250HP produces per hour a max of 250 liters of gas mixture, of which 2/3 are hydrogen (167 liter).
The LIL (lower ignition level), is 4 vol%.
That means a model 250HP could feed its full gas output for 14 minutes into a closed / sealed volume of 1 m3 before the LIL of 4% would be reached.
A free gasing-out of a Spirflame® in a normal room environment can be considered as 100% safe.
Physics of the combustion of a mixture of 2 part Hydrogen + 1 part Oxygen
- Mixture of 2H + 1O burns / recombines into some drops of water.
- Vacuum results from this combustion. No pressurized media, as caused by combustion of ordinary gas will remain in system.
- During combustion pressure spike duration is about 8 - 15 millisec. Spike might rise for a few ms to 18 bar.
- Total duration of such a pressure increase is 15 to 25 millisec.
- Energy released by the combustion is mainly an acoustic <bang> + heat safely absorbed by the fluid and tank material.

LONDON — The Guardian journalist at the center of a series of revelations about the National Security Agency's sweeping surveillance programs says his source, Edward Snowden, told him he never gave any information to the Russian or Chinese governments.
Glenn Greenwald says in an article published Wednesday on the Guardian's Web site that he spoke to Snowden over the weekend and on Tuesday and that the leaker "vehemently denied" rumors that his data had been acquired by Moscow or Beijing.
Greenwald quotes him as saying that "I never gave any information to either government, and they never took anything from my laptops."
Critics of Snowden's leaks have often wondered at his relationship with Chinese or Russian authorities.
Greenwald did not say where Snowden is or where he is expected to go.

My recent blog about Sandhills Pediatrics and its successful implementation of an EMR prompted, fortunately, a very intriguing comment from Chip Hart, a Director of Sales and Marketing at Physicians' Computer Company who also maintains the blog "Confessions of a Pediatric Practice Consultant: True Stories from the land of Pediatric Practice Management." He wrote: "I'll spare everyone the diatribe about how ARRA deals with pediatricians and how only about 1/2 of them qualify, as I write to make one quick statement." There's a story there, I thought to myself. So, being an avid observer of pediatric EMR news and views, I reached out to him to gauge his thoughts on where healthcare IT solutions fit in the world of pediatricians.
What sort of challenges are you seeing pediatric practices facing when it comes to implementing EMR systems?
"On one hand, most of the challenges they face are hardly unique to pediatrics: resistance to change, practice differences, the lack of time and resources to be trained and configured properly, poor support, etc.
"Specific to pediatrics, there are two major issues. First, children are not simply small adults and EMRs, as a rule, are written for adult medicine. There are many pediatric-specific features and functionality that a pediatric practice needs that simply aren't met by your large, generic system. Simply claiming "pediatric templates" isn't enough.
"Second, although every specialty complains about the hit that EMRs take on their productivity, pediatricians are obviously in the worst shape. Their volume is the highest and their payment is the lowest. Just adding a minute to each encounter means an extra 30 minutes of charting a day … and I hear stories, daily, of practices adding another 1 to 2 hours! Pediatricians can't afford to see 5-percent fewer patients. Radiologists can. And pediatricians really like to eat dinner with their families.
"One second-tier issue is that less than 50 percent of all pediatric practices don't qualify for ARRA and the regional extension centers (RECs), as a rule, don't understand the Medicaid rules well. Thus, we have clients and potential clients calling us to ask how they can get money they'll never get, or to tell us some crazy thing a REC person told them."
Are there different sets of challenges for those that are private practices versus those that are hospital/healthcare system affiliated?
"Unquestionably – the big one being that hospital/health system pediatricians simply won't have a choice or even a voice in the process. Yes, I've worked with some who appear to be at the table, but in the end … you get what they hand you. Right now, Epic is pushing everyone out but that pendulum will swing back.
Also, those employed physicians don't have to consider the impact on their productivity in the same way. I've met too many peds offices whose docs didn't take home checks for a few months after implementation – that's not right."
Why do you think practices like Sandhills "get it" in terms of moving forward with HIT implementations, and just being forward thinkers in general?
"If I could answer that question, I'd only be working with those practices! Every successful practice I know is successful in a different way for different reasons, but there is one common trait I see in many of them: They run their practices like the businesses they are. Keep the docs in the exam rooms, where they can generate revenue, and hire professionals to actually run the business. Just because it says "MD" after your name doesn't mean you're the best-qualified person to run your office. Would Dirk Nowitski or Lebron James make good coaches? I doubt it.
"In the case of Sandhills, they have some excellent, excellent staff who bring some non-healthcare experience to the table. Although I've seen it fail, having some management that comes from outside the healthcare system to ask and answer some tough questions pays off for a lot of practices.
"We've enjoyed working with them. I should also add that they, like the other 'heads up' clients I know, realize that we're on the same team. That helps tremendously."
How long have you offered the PCC EMR? What sort of up tick in implementations have you seen since ARRA/HITECH came about?
"Our PM has had pediatric clinical features (immunization tracking, registry interfaces, well visit recall, etc.) for almost 30 years, but the official EMR itself was released about 2 years ago.
"When ARRA was first announced, we received a lot of calls, all along the lines of, "Where do I get my free money?" It was very frustrating to explain that it would be state dependent (about a quarter of them still can't get it) and half of our clients will never qualify due to the Medicaid requirements.
"Things are starting to settle down and get organized. Still, we are busier right now than we have ever been. We are telling potential clients they might get installed in May or June. A nice problem to have, but it's not fun to get some excited only to explain it will be 6 months, especially when it used to be 6 weeks!"
Are any of your pediatric clients thinking of becoming involved in ACOs?
"Thinking? Yes. They're all being told how if they don't get big, they'll be out of business, which is utter BS. The rules, as we know them now, seem to make no sense whatsoever for pediatricians. I did see a compelling presentation by Colleen Kraft at the AAP NCE last week that very much supported the ACO-esque model she employs, but I think her situation is both unique and not potentially an ACO.
"With some issues – 5010, PCMH, etc. – we take a pro-active stance. With ACOs, I'm glad to let someone else jump first."
How will your solutions enable your customers to integrate with ACOs or coordinated care programs?
"Far too soon to tell. In general, I can say, "Hey, we have had really good reports that have tracked patient populations for years." Our clients use them all the time, as it's both good medicine and good business. As a practical tool, I'd put our patient recall program up against anyone's – your front desk can crank out a list of kids who need flu shots or asthma followups in seconds – but we don't know quite what the ACOs will need.
"One thing we've learned, though: when a small peds office puts its data in the hands of a large entity, it's worth double-checking the results. For more than 20 years, I've helped our clients fight insurance companies (which an ACO emulates) and the insurance companies never have the data right. Ever. So if a private peds office can work with us and still be in an ACO, they'll be able to confirm the accounting.
"Here's my prediction: As ACOs grow, the practices who participate are going to regret losing control of their data. I'm really going out on a limb there, I know.
What do you think is the greatest challenge being faced by pediatrics when it comes to keeping up with healthcare IT?
"Not getting run over by the Juggernaut. Everyone else's demands are put ahead of the pediatricians and the peds usually get served what everyone else is eating. And it rarely suits them.
"I also tell them all the time: ignore the Meaningful Use money. Completely. And ignore the "deal" that you can get from your local hospital/IPA/etc. Pick the EHR that suits you the most and go with that. All the discounts or federal checks in the world won't make up for even a 5-percent hit in your productivity or having to spend an extra 10-20 hours a month on charting or IT work. If you do like the local deal, great! But don't feel like you have to leap in."
So there you have it folks. I'd be interested to hear from a pediatrician or two who has gone through or is going through some sort of HIT implementation as a follow-up to these views. Feel free to get in touch with me via the comments section below.

Indiana University says it is informing about 146,000 students and recent graduates in its seven-campus system that their personal data were inadvertently exposed to automated webcrawling programs since last March.
Files including students' names, addresses and Social Security numbers -- stored in an unsecure location -- were accessed three times by automated data-mining applications, which are used to improve Web searches, the university said Tuesday.
No servers or systems were compromised, and the information "was not downloaded by an unauthorized individual looking for specific sensitive data," the university said in a news release.
"This is not a case of a targeted attempt to obtain data for illegal purposes, and we believe the chance of sensitive data falling into the wrong hands as a result of this situation is remote," said James Kennedy, the school's associate vice president for university student services and systems. "At the same time, we have moved quickly to secure the data and are conducting a thorough investigation into our information handling process to ensure that this doesn't happen again."
The university said it notified the Indiana attorney general's office about the exposure Tuesday.
The data includes students in the IU system from 2011 to 2014.

While most audiophiles value open headphones that emphasize balanced accuracy over artificial bass boosting, the popularity of digitally enhanced headphones like the Monster Beats by Dr. Dre Studio prove the average consumer's attraction to bass. JVC hopes to steal back that market share with the HA-M5X, a $50 over-ear set of headphones that uses a proprietary antiresonance ring inside each earpad to add extra bass without using an external equalizer. If you don't mind their bulky design and tendency to leak sound, the JVC HA-M5X headphones are an affordable alternative to the Monster Beats for listeners who enjoy bass but can't spend $350 on aftermarket cans.
Design and features
The JVC HA-M5X headphones are purposefully overbuilt to withstand the abuse that mobile devices naturally experience. The headband, the outer earcups, and even the 3.5mm plug are all reinforced with tough plastic and rubber for extra impact protection. Still, JVC keeps the weight down to a little more than half a pound, the same as the Monster Beats by Dr. Dre Studio.
Although the HA-M5X headphones are also constructed mostly out of plastic, they don't suffer from the same creaking noises that give the Monster Beats a cheap feeling. The Monster Beats' overbuilt plastic construction is also susceptible to cracks around the small screws holding it together.
One advantage that the Monster Beats headphones have over the JVC HA-M5X set is that they can be folded up into the headband for transport. In contrast, the JVC's headband connects seamlessly to swiveling earcups that allow minor vertical movement and little else. We give JVC the benefit of the doubt and assume its goal was to cut back on weak hinges, but we hope the next generation will fold up and come with a carrying case.
As with most headphones, the nonremovable earpads are made of artificial leather that reduces ear fatigue and keeps your ears cooler than real leather does, even after several hours of use. An extra layer of ribbed padding is fitted underneath the top of the headband for additional support. Not everyone will appreciate the HA-M5X's blue camouflage pattern, but there's no doubt that it adds a unique detail to reinforce its tough appeal.
The headphones have a dark red cable that stretches 4 feet down from the earcups and ends in a standard 3.5mm plug. JVC doesn't include a full-size adapter, so you'll need to pick one up if you plan to use these headphones with a 0.25-inch stereo port. The Y-shaped cord and the plug itself are insulated with flexible rubber that keeps the cord from tangling and adds thickness to the build.

What do you get if you mesh a dual-orientation handset together with a slide-out keyboard and a tracker ball? Potentially, the next BlackBerry from Research in Motion (RIM), if its latest patent application is anything to go by.
RIM to add a slide-out keyboard to the BlackBerry?
The patent, filed as number 20080051041 with the US Patent and Trademark Office, is for a "Hybrid portrait-landscape handheld device with trackball navigation and Qwerty hide-away keyboard". Since the Qwerty keyboard's hidden 'underneath' the phone's screen, it looks very different to existing BlackBerry models, such as the Pearl 8120 - reviewed here - which incorporates a Qwerty keyboard below the screen.
A touchscreen's also likely to feature
An accelerometer would undoubtedly be built into the handset to allow the display to switch between portrait and landscape layouts. For example, emails could be tapped into the handset when its keyboard is slide out and, when shut away, the phone could be used in either orientation.
RIM describes that a trackball would be the phone's primary navigation device, although there's reference to a touchscreen throughout the filing. However, the gadget may step on Motorola's toes: its SideKick Slide, developed for T)-Mobile, also features a slide-out keyboard and a tracker ball.
There's no indication of when or where RIM's latest BlackBerry may come onto the market, if ever.

New Exhibition, Changing America: The Emancipation Proclamation, 1863 and the March on Washington, 1963 Begins Tour across United States
Fifty libraries, museums, and other public sites across America will host a traveling exhibition, Changing America: The Emancipation Proclamation, 1863 and the March on Washington, 1963, to explore the story of liberty and the American experience. The exhibition is the result of a collaboration between the American Library Association (ALA) Public Programs Office, the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), and the National Museum of American History (NMAH), and made possible by funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
Changing America will help public audiences understand and discuss the relationship between two great peoples' movements that resulted in the Emancipation Proclamation, and the March on Washington in 1963. One hundred years separate the Emancipation Proclamation and the March on Washington, yet these two events are profoundly linked. Both events were the results of people demanding justice. Both grew out of decades of bold actions, resistance, organization, and vision. In both Americans can take inspiration from those who marched toward freedom.
The selected sites will host the exhibit for a six-week period between February 2014 and December 2017. All sites selected for the project will receive a grant of $1,700 from the ALA, with funding provided by the NEH, for expenses related to public programs. Participating sites will be required to present an opening event, and at least two public humanities programs for adult audiences, presented by qualified humanities scholars and related to exhibition themes. Public programming will encourage scholar-led reflection upon and discussion about the major issues surrounding the Emancipation Proclamation and the March on Washington, and acquaint new audiences with the history of these two critical events in American history. All showings of the exhibition will be free and open to the public.
Changing America is touring as part of an NEH initiative, Created Equal, that brings four films on America's Civil Rights movement to communities across the nation to promote public conversations. For more information about the films see www.createdequal.neh.gov.
The ALA Public Programs Office promotes cultural and community programming as an essential part of library service in all types and sizes of libraries. Successful library programming initiatives have included "Let's Talk About It" reading and discussion series, traveling exhibitions, film discussion programs, the Great Stories CLUB, LIVE@ your library and more. Recently, the ALA Public Programs Office developed www.ProgrammingLibrarian.org, an online resource center bringing librarians timely and valuable information to support them in the creation of high-quality cultural programs for their communities. For more information on the ALA Public Programs Office, visit www.ala.org/publicprograms.
The National Museum of African American History and Culture was established as a Smithsonian museum by an Act of Congress in 2003. It is the only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, art, history and culture. It is now under construction on Washington's National Mall, on a five-acre site adjacent to the Washington Monument. It is scheduled to open in winter 2015. For more information, visit www.nmaahc.si.edu.
The National Museum of American History collects, preserves and displays American heritage through exhibitions and public programs about social, political, cultural, scientific and military history. Documenting the American experience from Colonial times to the present, the museum looks at growth and change in the United States. For more information, visit www.americanhistory.si.edu
Created in 1965 as an independent federal agency, the National Endowment for the Humanities supports learning in history, literature, philosophy and other areas of the humanities. NEH grants enrich classroom learning, create and preserve knowledge and bring ideas to life through public television, radio, new technologies, exhibitions and programs in libraries, museums and other community places. Additional information about the National Endowment for the Humanities and its grant programs is available at www.neh.gov.

text: How did humans evolve? When did humans start to walk on two legs? How are humans related to non-human primates? This course focuses on the scientific study of human evolution describing the emergence, development, and diversification of our species, Homo sapiens. First we cover the fundamental principles of evolutionary theory and some of the basics of genetics and heredity as they relate to human morphological, physiological, and genetic variation. We then examine what studies of nonhuman primates (monkeys and apes) can reveal about our own evolutionary past, reviewing the behavioral and ecological diversity seen among living primates. We conclude the course examining the "hard" evidence of human evolution - the fossil and material culture record of human history from our earliest primate ancestors to the emergence of modern Homo sapiens. You will also have the opportunity, during recitations, to conduct hands-on exercises collecting and analyzing behavioral, morphological, and genetic data on both humans and nonhuman primates and working with the Department of Anthropology's extensive collection of fossil casts.

Who are they?
Sociable, curious and independent, they love freedom. Good at networking and negotiation, Ahenobarbus and Dexter are extremely adaptable, giving them a taste for travel, the occasional urge to take risks as well as a tendency to question themselves frequently. They are allergic to constraint, are lively and impatient and adore anything that goes very fast. However they are also quite anxious individuals who can be very short-tempered and they need to be able to channel this excess energy through a significantly active lifestyle and diverse areas of interest. They are firm believers in the aphorism «less routine, more life»... Energetic and strong-willed, they are concerned about their image and look after their appearances, cultivating an attitude and choreography of gestures that is designed to attract attention and admiration. Distinguished and attractive, they are not lacking in charm (although they are not always conscious of this fact) and are often creative souls who are full of life. Their professional performance is important to them although their rhythm is somewhat inconsistent. They possess fantastic organisation skills and are more apt to giving orders than carrying them out. They can be aloof and a little arrogant, and therefore abrupt at times. With little tolerance and even less patience, they are capable of impressive fits of rage during which they may get quite carried away. However, if they really want to, they are equally capable of displaying admirable self-control, especially in public... As children, they can be a bit dissipated (especially if they were born on the 5th, 14th or 23rd of the month, in May, or if they have a life Path Number of 5). Yet they are also capable of seriousness and rigor, (especially if they were born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd or 31st of the month, in April, or if their life Path Number is 4). Calm, harmony and security are as necessary to their well-being as activity, and they would be strongly advised to practice a sport. Not always very disciplined, they feel the need to assert themselves and demand independence: their upbringing should nevertheless be reasonably firm because given the chance, they´d choose play over work any day.
What do they like?
Anxious and uncertain by nature, they seek security first and foremost. Often close to nature, they aspire to serenity, peace and quiet, order and punctuality, although their actions sometimes contradict these principles. They appreciate sincerity, authenticity and simplicity. In their love lives, they prefer stability to frivolity, but they are sensual creatures who can resist everything except temptation, and they´re definitely not short of offers!

What do they do?
Depending on whether the 4 or the 5 is predominant in their key numbers (date of birth, month or life Path Number), we note two different occupation types: professions requiring great adaptability, where action and dynamism are important factors, in relation to sales, travel, representation, speed, sport and creativity (5), professions in connection with natural science, the land, animals, nature, ecology and mining, as well as the possibility of a career in the Administration (4). They could otherwise be drawn one of the liberal professions, those connected with the worlds of shape and colour (luxury, art...).

"We apologize for the discrepancies you may have encountered with your order of Namco Bandai's Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch - Wizard's Edition. As one of our valued customers, we want to assure you that a Digital River representative will be reaching out to you individually via email to address your specific issue. We sincerely appreciate your patience as we work through this situation," said Digital River in a statement on Namco Bandai's forum.
At least i got a email saying mine was shipped. Lucky me. Wished i could have played it this week though.
It's cool that this is actually a real limited edition game, most 'limited' edition games are far from limited. It sucks I was not able to secure a limited copy of Ni no Kuni :(
I ordered mine like a half year ago. I didnt know it will be that popular...
well the regular edition is sold out at Amazon.com. Usually ships in 1-3 weeks. There's one seller who has it listed for $60.93 + $9.76 shipping atm... Hoping to crack my copy open Sat night after work or Sunday night after work which begins my weekend. Even the Strategy Guide was sold out Day 1.
Not even sure I was really in the mood the devote so much time to an RPG but it's been so long since we saw a great RPG, rather JRPG released. This either shows how poorly prepared Namco Bandai was or just how starved the RPG community has been and the faith they have that Ni No is an instant Classic. Makes me wish I could take a couple sick days this weekend and start playing.

Siteimprove Releases 6th Corporate Social Responsibility Report
jul 07, 2016
COPENHAGEN, JULY 7, 2016 –Software-as-a-service company Siteimprove released its sixth corporate social responsibility (CSR) report today outlining its efforts to support digital accessibility and cultivate an exceptional workplace. The report is published in accordance with the United Nations' Global Compact - the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative. It is now available online at Siteimprove's website.As a leading provider of web governance tools and solutions, Siteimprove's mission is to make the web better for all which they do by helping organizations and companies ensure their websites are accessible for everyone of all abilities.
"We have made accessibility a main CSR priority as inaccessible websites are a global problem and we have the ability to help improve the website user experience for individuals all over the world" said Morten Ebbesen, CEO and founder of Siteimprove. "One way in which we raise awareness of this is through our various accessibility conferences where we educate web teams about web accessibility and how to best implement it."
Within the CSR Report Siteimprove's other accessibility activities are outlined, including hosting a digital accessibility meetup in Minneapolis together with discount retailer Target, facilitating the Better Web Awards in Copenhagen, introducing updates to its accessibility tool offering, and establishing an official partnership with Danish accessibility consultancy firm Diversa.
Doing business with a socially responsible company is increasingly popular and in 2015, Siteimprove experienced a growth of 66% and a revenue increase of 73%. Despite this and a strong expansion plan, Siteimprove has maintained its focus on employee well-being, in line with the Global Compact's emphasis on labor rights.
In 2015, global research, consulting, and training firm Great Place to Work® named Siteimprove one of Denmark's best workplaces and one of Denmark's 10 best IT workplaces. Additionally, Siteimprove was named one of Minnesota Business Magazine's "Top 100 Companies to work for" for the fourth consecutive year.
"We are proud to see Siteimprove acknowledged as a top workplace in both Denmark and Minnesota. Our employees are our most important asset, and we will continue to invest in their satisfaction and development" said Ebbesen.

Hey guys! Updates, woo!
Unsurprisingly, a fair bit of work has been happening. Beyond the regular spread of bugfixes and improvements in PRs and the like, we've got a good bit of work continuing on the forward-looking stuff.
We've think we've got the PBR math pretty well dialed in, it's just a matter of getting it rolled together from different WIP builds so we can finalize things before finally merging that sucker into stock, so that's very exciting.
On my R&D side of things, I've got a fair number of bits I've worked on since the last update. I've been further improving/refining the new assets/importing stuff. There are now asset types for levels, post effects and scripts. I've also implemented an addition to the module definitions to auto-load certain asset types when the module is initialized.
Normally, an asset is only actually initialized/loaded when it's referenced - for example, an object that renders a shape references a shape asset, and this informs the asset it's referenced and if it's the first time, runs the init/loading stuffs.
This is largely fine, but there's some cases where we need stuff loaded up-front. Stuff like scripts, levels, post effects and a few other special-cases where we want that kind of thing in effect all the time as opposed to only when a mission is actually loaded. This conveniently happens to also remove a lot of the extra script fluff for setting stuff up, such as removing the need for a lot of the exec files that only existed to exec script files, etc.
The level asset is nice because it means that as long as it exists as a valid asset for a module, the level selection screen can automagically detect it, regardless of what module it's in. This gives a lot of flexibility in how to handle modules and packages, and will make doing stuff like demo scenes a lot easier since it means everything can stay self-contained in it's module if you want.
I also started - piggybacking on the asset importing work - initial work into a refactor of the TSShape stuff. While it most certainly works still, I don't know if you've looked at it, but it's a pretty spaghetti-tastic mess of code. Rendering any given shape out of one of the game classes sees at least 7 function calls to make it happen, which is pretty rediculous. I have basic mesh rendering working, and the plan by the end is to replace the TSShape stuff, with all functionality intact(and room to expand new features) while being appreciably cleaner.
I also started work on a Tileset Object Editor tool. This utilizes a bit of a rework of how new tools are done in the engine. The current way, you basically have to write an entire gui control that replicates the general functionality of the world editor, but then also does it's own special stuff. It leads to a lot of unneeded complexity and duplication. Then on the script side you end out doing a lot of swapping back and forth of GUI controls and we've seen it break before with some swaps not happening so editors get 'stuck' and the like.
With this, you enable a much smaller class object derived from the 'EditorTool' class. When enabled, it pretty much just intercepts the inputs from the regular World Editor gui control, and piggybacks off it's rendering. This keeps the tool's code streamlined and to-purpose, and simplifies the script side as well without losing any functionality.
So, the Tileset Object Editor is something i'm doing up for my project, which uses a lot of factory/industrial space stuff, so I made the logical conclusion to use tile meshes. But rather than having to do a ton of work placing and gridsnapping everything manually, I figured I'd draft up a relatively simple tool to streamline that.
Here's what it currently looks like:
From here, the plan is to get tile sets working. Think like how you can have your Forest Items in the forest tool, and then can make brushes of multiple items you can rapidly paint down. My idea is you could paint down say, several unique floor tiles, or wall tiles, select the set, and save that set. Then you could either place them down like a stamp, where it'll fill in as per the tileset's arrangement, a random selection from the tileset(which would help break stuff up to avoid obvious repetition) or a 'fill' paint.
It's pretty project agnostic, ultimately, as long as you use tile meshes to build your stuff. So that should end up being pretty useful
Speaking of editor stuff, I also did some modifications to the VariableInspector gui object. I'll have to specifically demo that off, but the idea is it'll let you do arbitrary inspectors. The current Inspector Control used in the editor lets you select an object, and it'll populate with the fields that object has exposed for editing purposes. Awesome and effect, but limited.
This lets you add fields yourself via script, can be pointed to an object's fields to be updated, or can point to global variables. It'll try and find matching engine-defined types, but it also lets you implement completely custom field types(if you remember the fancy-looking Material Slot field on the MeshComponent that had the preview image and stuff, it lets you do things like that.
You've actually seen this in effect without realizing it in my asset import videos, where you can see the Asset Import Config editor control having that nice list of options to edit.
That'll be getting PR'd soon, and with that, it'll let us update a lot of special-snowflake GUI controls to have a simple standard layout that's just as powerful but far, far easier to work with. The first things on the chopping block for that to try is the madness that is the material editor's GUI, and editor settings.
Anywho, I think that's everything for the moment. If I missed anything I'll be sure to update this
Later guys!

Dodge Dart Gets Added to the Wedding Wish List
After the butterflies in the stomach, getting down on one knee, and dancing and smooching in the moonlight comes the hard reality of wedding planning. Which for most couples includes a gift registry, and going through the store with the obligatory barcode scanner to select the appliances, bed sheets and cookware of the couples' choice. But Dodge wants couples (and presumably, individuals with a lot of generous friends) to think bigger, a lot bigger.
But unlike a traditional gift registry, where guests purchase whole items on a gift list, friends and family can fractionally fund different parts of a Dodge Dart, such as the wheels, engine, hood, or individual options. Wishes or needs for the dream Dart can be communicated via Facebook or Twitter.
The Dodge Dart Registry is powered by RocketHub, a crowdfunding platform. Individuals or couples can register themselves on www.dodgedartregistry.com. Although the concept may seem far-fetched, a couple with a wedding party of 200, where each guest gave $100 could come up with $20,000, which would pay for the bulk of a well-equipped Dart.
The campaign was kicked off today with a 30-second ad during the NFC Championship game, which can be seen below.

Welcome to ToNH! We're a timeless, boundless roleplay based on a fictional hovering island named Nebula Heights, and we're always looking for new members to expand on the possibilities. ToNH's main plot is sketchy as best - because you are the explorers that will make the plot what it is. The more you explore and have your character interact with the environment, the more likely you'll set the ball rolling on another subplot...
Season: Summer
Males: 9
Females: 9
Males: 9
Females: 9
All characters who are currently on the island will hear this once, at whichever time is most convenient. Those sleeping will hear it in their dreams; anyone in a dangerous situation will hear it when they are safe again. You don't need to copy it out in your post, though you can if you want to.
"Greetings, strangers, and welcome to Nebula Heights. My name is Phasma. Thank you to those who discovered my temple; in locating the Awakening orb, you have taken the first step towards revitalising this world. Your purpose is as yet unknown to you, but you would do well to continue making life force tributes at this altar. It is your choice whether or not to trust me. Until I regain the energy that has faded over the years, and my powers over this world reawaken, I will remain dormant. Good luck to you."
