More specific types of operand bundles are described below.
Deoptimization operand bundles are characterized by the
operand bundle tag. These operand bundles represent an alternate "safe" continuation for the call site they're attached to, and can be used by a suitable runtime to deoptimize the compiled frame at the specified call site. There can be at most one
operand bundle attached to a call site. Exact details of deoptimization is out of scope for the language reference, but it usually involves rewriting a compiled frame into a set of interpreted frames.
From the compiler's perspective, deoptimization operand bundles make the call sites they're attached to at least
. They read through all of their pointer typed operands (even if they're not otherwise escaped) and the entire visible heap. Deoptimization operand bundles do not capture their operands except during deoptimization, in which case control will not be returned to the compiled frame.
The inliner knows how to inline through calls that have deoptimization operand bundles. Just like inlining through a normal call site involves composing the normal and exceptional continuations, inlining through a call site with a deoptimization operand bundle needs to appropriately compose the "safe" deoptimization continuation. The inliner does this by prepending the parent's deoptimization continuation to every deoptimization continuation in the inlined body. E.g. inlining
in the following example
will result in
It is the frontend's responsibility to structure or encode the deoptimization state in a way that syntactically prepending the caller's deoptimization state to the callee's deoptimization state is semantically equivalent to composing the caller's deoptimization continuation after the callee's deoptimization continuation.
Funclet operand bundles are characterized by the operand bundle tag. These operand bundles indicate that a call site is within a particular funclet. There can be at most one operand bundle attached to a call site and it must have exactly one bundle operand.
If any funclet EH pads have been "entered" but not "exited" (per the description in the EH doc ), it is undefined behavior to execute a or which:
Similarly, if no funclet EH pads have been entered-but-not-yet-exited, executing a or with a bundle is undefined behavior.
GC transition operand bundles are characterized by the operand bundle tag. These operand bundles mark a call as a transition between a function with one GC strategy to a function with a different GC strategy. If coordinating the transition between GC strategies requires additional code generation at the call site, these bundles may contain any values that are needed by the generated code.

Future of DNA Forensics Demonstrated at International Police Chief Meeting –
A New Partnership Between Crime Labs and Police Now Possible
SAN DIEGO & PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- IntegenX Inc., a leading developer of rapid human DNA identification technology, today announced the commercial availability of its RapidHIT 200 Human DNA Identification System in the U.S. at the 2012 International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference and Exposition in San Diego, California. Representatives from IntegenX are on site at the meeting to demonstrate the self-contained desktop system, which is the first commercially available rapid DNA device.
the RapidHIT (TM) 200 System - Rapid DNA Technology that will revolutionize the use of DNA in law enforcement and forensics (Photo: Business Wire)
Rapid DNA analysis is a transformative technology that promises to fundamentally change the way investigations are conducted by enabling law enforcement personnel to quickly and definitively link a suspect's DNA to a crime scene, or eliminate suspicion, all while the suspect is still in police custody.
The RapidHIT 200 System provides actionable intelligence by automating and accelerating the process of producing standardized DNA profiles from cheek swabs in about 90 minutes. This is compared to a process that currently takes up to eight instruments and at least a day in a specialized lab, with results typically returned to police in weeks to months.
Stevan Jovanovich, President and Chief Executive Officer of IntegenX commented: "The availability of this technology now will revolutionize the use of DNA in law enforcement. We see the implementation of rapid DNA as reinforcing the partnership between crime labs and police – putting more power in their hands to get DNA results faster. Law enforcement agencies have been waiting a long time for this capability. We are proud to be the first to deliver it and to say "Rapid DNA is here!"
Numerous international law enforcement and security agencies use DNA-based human identification to make informed decisions regarding the arrest, detention or release of suspects, as well as to analyze crime scene evidence. By integrating what was until now a multi-step, multi-system process, rapid DNA technology has the potential to accelerate and expand the use of proven DNA technologies to help the efforts of law enforcement, homeland security, and defense to create safer communities and a safer world.
One of the first police departments to place an order for the RapidHIT 200 System is Palm Bay, Florida, an organization known for its progressive use of DNA to solve high volume crimes.
"We are extremely proud of what we have been able to accomplish so far using DNA, and expect the RapidHIT 200 System to greatly accelerate our efforts," said Doug Muldoon, Police Chief of Palm Bay. "Based on our experience, the more we can use this ultimate identification tool in our work, the more our crime rates go down and our case closure rates go up. That is good news for creating safer communities for our citizens. Rapid DNA will enhance our methods for dealing with high volume crimes using our locally created database."
"This is one of the best crime fighting tools we have seen in decades. It allows law enforcement to identify the bad guys and put them in jail. It also protects the innocent from going to jail for a crime they did not commit," added Chief Muldoon.
Dr. Jovanovich will speak along with Chief Muldoon and the Denver District Attorney, Mitch Morrissey, during a press conference today at the IACP meeting at 9:00 a.m. PT. For more information about IACP, please visit: www.theiacpconference.org.
In celebration of this historic milestone in forensics, IntegenX has produced a short video that features leaders in law enforcement discussing the impact of rapid DNA in crime fighting.

Cash assistance: Always subject to abuseEDITORIAL
September 18. 2013 12:43AM
If you think recipients of government assistance should be barred from using taxpayer money to finance sensory pleasures such as drinking, smoking and viewing sexually explicit material, a state audit released last Friday presents some bad news.
In the last fiscal year, the state distributed more than $23 million worth of cash assistance via Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. Recipients used their EBT cards to take 78 percent of that $23 million in cash. On what did they spend that $18 million? Who knows? The state has no way of tracking it.
The state prevents EBT cards from being used at liquor stores, casinos and adult entertainment venues. But the laws do not state why we offer the assistance. There is no statutory goal to it. The state simply gives low-income people cash and expects them to spend it intelligently.
Many taxpayers would like to see the state prevent the purchase of beer, tobacco, junk food and other indulgences via EBT cards. But as long as the state gives direct cash assistance, such a prohibition would be futile. Recipients can receive deposits directly into their bank accounts, or they can use EBT cards to withdraw cash from ATMs — with no restrictions.
Private charities have ways around this problem. Many offer non-cash assistance such as job training, food and below-market rental units. They learned decades ago that handing out cash was unwise. But government-based public assistance will always favor cash payments. It is easier. And politicians prefer to portray all recipients of charity as average folks down on their luck, never hard cases who have addiction or mental health issues that cannot be fixed by ready infusions of money.
The state cannot effectively monitor a bureaucracy that distributes cash to thousands of recipients. Such a system will always be abused. A better way would be to support private charities that teach people how to live independently. If, that is, independence is the goal of state assistance.

BOSTON — Massachusetts' newly formed gambling oversight board held its second meeting on Tuesday — and its members agreed that they need some expert advice.
The new board is still in its infancy. And the commissioners say they need some tutelage. None of the five commissioners has any experience in the gambling industry, so they're hosting a daylong conference to teach them about shaping what will be a multi-billion-dollar addition to the state's economy, once the three casinos and one slots parlor the Legislature authorized are up and running.
Board chairman Steven Crosby said industry experts from New Jersey and Pennsylvania will fly in to teach the Commission about all the tasks ahead of them from seeking casino proposals to crafting regulations to enforcing the laws.
"Rather than have the Commissioners fly out to a whole different places and have a whole bunch of experts, we thought the experts should come in and talk to us," he explained.
Commissioner James McHugh added that the cities and towns who are being courted by casino developers also needed help. "We're starting to get questions from the people in the various cities and towns and the question is, how do we respond to those inquiries?" he said.
The law requires a local referendum before a casino can set up shop in any given town. Applicants are supposed to pay for the help the municipalities need to analyze a new proposal — but McHugh said towns don't know how to access those funds.
The commissioners also discussed the fine line between providing help to cities and towns and the need to keep developers at arm's length.
An open educational forum is scheduled for May 3 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. Members of the public can submit questions on mass.gov.

Dover man indicted in murder of UNH studentBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
April 23. 2013 10:47AM
DOVER - More than six months after University of New Hampshire student Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott, 19, disappeared, a local man is under indictment for murder, accused of strangling her with a rope during a sexual assault.
Seth Mazzaglia, 30, was indicted by a Strafford County grand jury last week on two counts of first degree murder, one count of second degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit hindering apprehension or prosecution.
The murder charges allege different theories of the crime.
The first degree murder indictments allege first, that Mazzaglia purposely caused Marriott's death by strangling her in his Dover apartment on Oct. 9, and that, second, he committed the crime before, after or while engaged in the commission of, or while attempting to commit, felonious sexual assault.
According to the indictments, Mazzaglia subjected, or attempted to subject, Marriott to sexual contact and caused serious physical injury to Marriott while overcoming her through the actual application of physical force, physical violence, or superior physical strength.
Police said the murder happened on Oct. 9, the last day Marriott's family heard from her. Mazzaglia was arrested on Oct. 13 and an extensive search began for Marriott's body off the coast of Peirce Island in Portsmouth based on "credible information." But her body was never found.
Mazzaglia's girlfriend at the time of the murder, Kathryn "Kat" McDonough, 19, of Portsmouth, was indicted earlier this month in Rockingham County Superior Court on charges related to hindering apprehension and/or prosecution and witness tampering.
According to the fourth complaint filed against Mazzaglia, around 11:05 p.m. on Oct. 9, after Mazzaglia killed Marriott, McDonough used her cell phone to create and send a text message to Marriott's cell phone, in substance asking why Marriott did not show up for her planned visit to Mazzaglia and McDonough's apartment.
The complaint also alleges the couple deleted text messages on their cell phones in which they discussed Marriott's planned visit.
Mazzaglia and McDonough also are accused of using Marriott's car to transport her body from Dover to Peirce Island, where they dumped it into the river. They then abandoned Marriott's car in a parking lot at UNH, where police later found it.
Police allege Mazzaglia and McDonough discarded numerous items in various dumpsters in Portsmouth, Durham and Dover, including a suitcase and tarp used to transport Marriott, the rope Mazzaglia allegedly used to kill her, and clothing and other items belonging to Mazzaglia, McDonough and Marriott, including Marriott?s cell phone and GPS navigation system.
Police said McDonough and Mazzaglia concocted an alibi regarding their whereabouts the day Marriott was murdered, a story they maintained when they were questioned by investigators on two different occasions.
Later in October, McDonough met with members of Mazzaglia's defense team and told them in substance that Marriott died during a consensual sexual encounter, according to court documents.
The second degree murder charge filed against Mazzaglia states he caused Marriott's death under circumstances manifesting an extreme indifference to the value of human life.

An agreement on a bill to provide operating authority for the Federal Aviation Administration over the next four years and to boost the agency's air traffic modernization effort was reached Tuesday by House and Senate negotiators, culminating a five-year struggle that included a partial shutdown of the agency.
An agreement on a bill to provide operating authority for the Federal Aviation Administration over the next four years and to boost the agency's air traffic modernization effort was reached Tuesday by House and Senate negotiators, culminating a five-year struggle that included a partial shutdown of the agency.
The bill authorizes $63 billion for the FAA through the 2015 budget year. It includes compromises on several difficult issues that divided lawmakers along party lines and by region, including air service subsidies for rural communities, safety regulation of cargo shipments of lithium batteries, and rules governing the formation of airline and railroad unions.
The last details of the agreement were hammered out behind closed doors over the past week. Negotiators met Tuesday afternoon to congratulate each other on reaching what they said was a major victory, and to receive a copy of the final bill.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, told lawmakers involved in the negotiations he wanted them to sign the agreement by the end of the day. Final passage of the bill by the House and Senate is expected sometime in the next two weeks.
The FAA's long-term operating authority expired in 2007. The agency has continued to limp along under a series of 23 short-term extensions, but its ability to commit to decisions on major acquisition programs that extend over many years, like air traffic modernization, was hindered by the uncertainty over how much it could spend and by a lack of direction from Congress.
"Now we're going to have four years of stability in this industry. It's a huge accomplishment," said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas.
A copy of the agreement isn't expected to be available until late Tuesday, but congressional staff who briefed reporters said key portions include:
— Funding authority for FAA's Next Generation air traffic modernization program at about $1 billion a year, roughly the same as the past two years. The FAA is in the midst of moving from an air traffic control system that's based on World War II-era technology to one based on GPS technology.
— Tweaking of the Essential Air Service program which subsidizes air service to rural communities. The government spends about $200 million a year on the program now; that will drop to about $190 million a year. Subsidies for service to communities that are within 175 miles of a hub airport and average less than 10 passengers a day over the course of a year would lose service. If that rule were applied today, about a dozen communities would lose subsidized service.
The program will also be limited to the 150 communities that now receive subsidized service. No new communities will be allowed to enter the program. The compromise spares Morgantown, W.Va., a priority for Rockefeller. The community would have lost its subsidies under a formula crafted by House Republicans, but opposed by Rockefeller and other key Senate Democrats.
A partisan standoff over a House GOP attempt to cut 13 cities from the air subsidies program and to make it more difficult for airline workers to unionize resulted in two-week, partial shutdown of the FAA last summer. More than 4,000 FAA employees were furloughed, work was halted on more than 100 airport construction projects and the government lost an estimated $350 million in airline ticket taxes.
— A requirement sought by House Republicans that the Department of Transportation follow the same safety standards for the shipment of lithium batteries by air as those set by the International Civil Aviation Organization, a U.N. agency. The requirement blocks a proposal by the department that would have imposed even tougher standards on the handling and packaging of the batteries, requiring they be treated as hazardous cargo. The batteries are used cellphones, laptops, watches and in countless other products.
Studies show batteries that are damaged, overheated or packaged incorrectly can ignite. Fires caused by the batteries burn extremely hot and are difficult to put out. Pilots unions strong oppose the international standards, but an array of industries who ship projects containing the batteries as well as cargo airlines had predicted the transportation department's rules would have cost them billions of dollars. As part of a compromise, the FAA would have the authority to impose emergency regulations on lithium battery shipments if the agency can point to an example where it has been proven that the batteries were the cause of a fire in flight.
A recent FAA study predicted that bulk shipments of the batteries will cause the crash of one cargo plane every other year. The batteries are suspected of being the source of a fire aboard a United Parcel Service 747 that crashed near Dubai in 2010, killing both pilots.
Rockefeller and his House counterpart, Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John Mica, R-Fla., emphasized the bill is a compromise in which no one got everything they wanted.
Among those disappointed by the bill were airline passenger rights advocates. A three-hour limit on airline tarmac delays and other passenger protections sponsored by Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, were eliminated during negotiations. The Obama administration has already done virtually the same thing through new regulations, which were opposed by the airline industry.

Earlier today I bought a $10 album from iTumes, which I wish I hadn't. The reviews were glorious, and the previews not indicative. Listening to the album all I could hear was hipster drivel. Obviously, I wanted my money back. Well, bad luck. iTunes won't give refunds. I tweeted about it, and a friend suggested Rdio. Rdio, a brand new streaming service, currently offers a 3-day free trial -- without the need for a credit card. For $5 let's you stream their huge library on your desktop via an Adobe AIR app or browser, and for $10 let's you also stream from Android/BBerry/iOS, plus be able to sync your music with you offline on these devices. Unlike Last.fm and Pandora, Rdio let's you stream on-demand.

Akira Katogi, a founder of the Japanese performance group Wariki, and his son Raiya Katogi will perform for students at Moab Charter School and Helen. M. Knight Elementary on Friday, April 26, and will give a public performance at Star Hall, 159 E. Center St., at 7 p.m. that same evening.
The pair will present "a mesmerizing program of folk tradition from across Japan, including traditional Shinto works, folkloric pieces, street performances, and more," organizers said in a news release.
"The Katogis are well respected throughout Japan for their authentic work, and viewers should expect a fascinating journey into traditional Japanese folk culture," organizers said.
Tickets for the performance are $10 for adults, and $5 for children (through grade 12). Advance tickets are available at Back of Beyond Books, 83 N. Main St., or Sgt. Peppers Music and Video, 59 S. Main St., in Moab. Tickets will also be available at the door the day of the show.
Moab Taiko Dan also invites the public to join the Katogis in a hands-on community workshop on Saturday, April 27. The workshop will include experiences in traditional Japanese folk dance and festival music grounded in Shinto tradition. No prior experience or expertise is necessary to attend.
The workshop fee is $30. Registration is available at the door the morning of the workshop, however, space is limited to 40 participants so pre-registration is recommended.
Contact Moab Taiko Dan at email@example.com for registration information, or call 435-260-0714.
KATOGI Akira was born in Akita Prefecture, Japan, in 1967. He trained with the traditional Japanese dance theater ensemble Warabi-za as a youth, and later studied with masters in Dengaku-za, a Japanese folk and dance company based in Nagano Prefecture. In 2001, he co-founded Wariki, a "small but gifted" conservatory of musicians and dancers dedicated to the preservation of Japanese folk music. Akira has made significant contributions to the Wariki repertoire, incorporating a wide array of traditional pieces from all parts of Japan, including temple music, festival dances and entertaining street and circus pieces.
Wariki, and Akira Katogi, who also performs as an independent solo artist, maintain a yearly schedule of continuous performances at various venues, including regional theaters and elementary and junior-high schools.
Highlights from Wariki's past honors include performing at the 2005 Aichi World Expo; as one of 18 specially featured exemplary groups of Japanese traditional performing arts; in 2006 as part of the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs; in 2009 at the National Folk Museum of Korea; and three European tours and performances for the Japan Foundation and the Embassy of Japan from 2010 to 2012.
In addition to his activities with Wariki, Akira Katogi now serves as the traditional Japanese dance instructor for Shidara, an Aichi-based professional taiko ensemble that has toured the United States

The International Space Station is about to get another commercial shipment.
The California company known as SpaceX is scheduled to launch its unmanned Falcon rocket from Cape Canaveral on Friday. On board is a Dragon capsule filled with more than a ton of tools, computer hardware and science experiments. The freezers are filled with stem cells and other research items. There's no room this time for ice cream for the six-man station crew.
Forecasters put the odds of good weather at 80 percent. Launch time is 10:10 a.m.
This will be the third space station visit for SpaceX. NASA is paying the company to supply the orbiting lab. Russia, Europe and Japan also provide delivery services. NASA's shuttles used to be the main haulers, but they retired two years ago.

WASHINGTON The State Department says Secretary of State Hillary Clinton plans to return to work next week after being treated for a blood clot in her head.
Spokesman Victoria Nuland said Clinton is resting at home but is speaking with senior staff and is, quote, "sounding terrific, upbeat and raring to go."
She said Clinton looks forward to returning to her Washington office next week, although a date hasn't been set.
Doctors have advised her to avoid international travel for now.
Clinton was discharged Wednesday from a New York hospital, three days after doctors diagnosed a blood clot during a follow-up exam stemming from a concussion she suffered in December.
Doctors are treating the clot with blood thinners and say they expect she will fully recover.

Paul W. Jeter Sr., operated area McDonald's
May 2, 1935 – March 28, 2013
Paul William Jeter Sr., of Williamsville, who owned and operated several McDonald's restaurants in the Buffalo area, died last Thursday after a lengthy illness in Sarasota, Fla., near his winter home. He was 77.
Born in Spartanburg, S.C., he came to Buffalo with his family in 1942. He attended School 31 and Fosdick Masten Park High School and was a graduate of Bennett High School. He attended Millard Fillmore College at the University of Buffalo and worked at the General Motors Tonawanda Engine Plant before serving in the Army from 1958 to 1960.
Returning from service, he worked for the U.S. Postal Service as a mail carrier from Station C at Main and Northampton streets. In 1967, he joined in a business partnership in a Henry's Hamburgers franchise on Main Street with former Buffalo Bills tight end Ernie Warlick, who stayed with Mr. Jeter and his wife when he first came to Buffalo in 1962.
In 1980, Mr. Jeter opened his first McDonald's location at Genesee Street and Bailey Avenue and went on to open three more, developing a family business with his sons.
After he retired in 2002, he and his wife built a winter home in Lakewood Ranch, Fla., near Sarasota, where he was able to fulfill his longtime desire to attend the baseball spring training camps. He also enjoyed traveling, golf and gardening, and considered himself to be an amateur gourmet cook.
A member of New Hope Baptist Church since 1961, he was involved in many aspects of the church. He designed a new kitchen, remodeled the choir room and installed ceiling fans in the sanctuary.
Mr. Jeter was a member of the Delavan Grider Community Association, the Purchasing Committee for McDonald's Corp., the NAACP and the Urban League. He received numerous awards from McDonald's and was given the 1987 Economic Community Award by Xi Epsilon Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.
Survivors include his wife of 55 years, the former Elease McCall; a son, Kirk; his mother, Inez; and two sisters, Mildred J. Richards and Ruth Baker. His other son, Paul Jr., died in 1997.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday in Mount Olive Baptist Church, 701 E. Delavan Ave.

Rosemont, Ill -- A new study published in the August 2009 issue of the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (JBJS) finds that two years after anterior cervical neck operations, patients who have arthroplasty (disc replacement) or arthodesis (spine fusion) can be expected to have significant improvement in their headache symptoms.
"This is not a "cure" for all headaches. But, if you have headaches associated with neck pain and dysfunction, surgery for the neck problem can significantly improve the related headaches. And, anytime overall quality of life can be improved with surgical treatment, that is something to note." said study lead author, Joseph Riina, MD, of Orthopaedics Indianapolis.
The purpose of this study was to determine:
- the prevalence of headaches in patients with cervical radiculopathy (shooting pain in the arm) or myelopathy (spinal cord dysfunction); and
- the effectiveness of anterior cervical surgery (neck surgery from the front) in relieving headache symptoms associated with the cervical disease.
This study does not include migraine headaches and only studied headaches associated with cervical spine disease. Additionally, study authors acknowledge there still is a lack of knowledge regarding the exact anatomical structures that cause headaches, which could be caused by the disc, joints, muscles, tissues or some combination of those.
None of the patients surveyed had the operation to treat their headaches and headaches were not their only complaint. Additionally, no significant difference was reported in headache severity between the arthroplasty and arthodesis groups. The study participants (51.6 percent of whom were male) ranged in age from 25 to 78. The results were as follows:
- Pre-surgery:
- Of the 1004 patients surveyed, 86.4 percent reported headaches.
- 34.1 percent reported mild headaches (a 1 or 2 rating on the scale) and
- 52.1 percent reported severe headaches (a 3, 4 or 5 on the scale.)
- Two years after surgery:
- Of the 803 patients responding, 65.1 percent reported headaches.
- 34.9 percent reported no headaches,
- 46.7 percent reported mild headaches, and
- 18.4 percent reported severe headaches.
"This is the largest study that we know of, in which incidence and improvement of headaches has been studied related to anterior spine surgery. I think we answered a big question: Can patients have less neck pain and fewer headaches after this kind of surgery? And, the answer is yes." Said Riina. "We evaluated more than 1000 patients, using the Neck Disability Index questionnaire before surgery and at five increments after surgery, the latest was 24 months post surgery and the evidence suggests that there can be significant improvements in headache pain."
Disclosure: The authors did not receive any outside funding or grants in support of their research for or preparation for this work. One of more of the authors or a member of his or her immediate family received, in any one year, payments of other benefits in excess of $10,000 or a commitment or agreement to provide such benefits from a commercial entity (Medtronic). Also, commercial entities (Medtronic and Orthopaedic Research Foundation) paid or directed in any one year, or agreed to pay or direct, benefits in excess of $10,000 to a research fund, foundation, division, center, clinical practice or other charitable or nonprofit organization with which one or more of the authors, or a member of his or her immediate family is affiliated or associated.

Great article, Paul! I completely agree with you (when we're talking about client websites that are fundamentally business-driven).
The client/designer relationship (and by designer, I mean designers, developers, illustrators, etc.) is a two-way street. We provide the best input that our experience can provide, because we are knowledgeable. But the client is knowledgeable within his or her own area too.
This doesn't mean we can't have a say on how the business side of a project can be improved, but some questions must be answered first by the client: what is the main objective, what is he or she trying to achieve with a website in the end?
I agree that these are very important questions to be asked and that need an answer before discarding or praising a website based on looks or code.

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Tuesday voted unanimously to set the fiscal year 2013 municipal tax rate at 86.36 cents per $100 in property value for residential and non-residential taxpayers, an increase of around 2.6 cents compared to the current rate of 83.75 cents.
Town officials cited the first year's debt service on the $4.625 million fire stations improvement bond, and a penny added to the tax rate for the newly created business development fund, as the major drivers in the bump in the municipal rate. It is the first time in three years that the municipal tax rate is being increased.
The town's overall fiscal year 2013 tax rate — which will include education expenses — is being estimated at $2.5866 per $100 in property value for residential property owners. This would represent an increase of 6.4 cents compared to Middlebury's current overall property tax rate of $2.5219 per $100. But Middlebury's overall property tax rate cannot be firmly established until the state confirms the education property tax rates for residential and non-residential property. That information is expected within the next few weeks.
The fiscal year 2013 non-residential property tax in Middlebury is being estimated at $2.4536 per $100 in property value. This would be an increase of just under a penny compared to the current rate of $2.4445 per $100.
Middlebury Assistant Town Manager Kathleen Ramsay said the new municipal property tax rate reflects a grand list that has grown by 0.8 percent since last year, to $714,619,200.

Nat and Ashton Kutcher's romantic comedy, No Strings Attached, opens January 21, 2011.
Congrats Nat and Ben! People first reported the happy news.
UPDATE: Nat tells EW, "I have always kept my private life private but I will say that I am indescribably happy and feel very grateful to have this experience."

When you say that whole milk is bad, etc, how do you square this with other countries saying use of cow's milk is an acceptable addition to a child's diet before one? Because most nations do say cow's milk in moderation is OK. The US is the one that says 12 months....and I dunno about you, but I don't really trust AAP on a lot of things.
Personally, if a mom wants to give 4 oz of cow's milk to a child who is otherwise eating solids and nursing on demand as well and this takes a little pressure off her and helps her pump to at least one, I think it perfectly acceptable. I did it in this exact way. And it allowed me to EP for 18 months so far.

Tuesday, May 03, 2011 - Milo vs. Maxim - WRESTLING
Latest Updates at WilliamHiggins.com
Milo Nohal versus Maxim Petrovic is an excellent nude submission wrestling shoot. Milo had previously done a solo shoot and a CFNM shoot previously and wanted more work, so we set him up with Maxim for this match. Maxim is a good wrestler and took control of the match early on, but Milo worked very hard and did manage to take a 2 rounds off Maxim. All in all it was a good match, and it was very nice to see them grab each others dicks as they applied the oil. Milo's dick grew measurably at that point. After the match the guys starting wanking themselves and each other, and it gave us a good opportunity to see just how big and thick Milo's schlong is. The also delivered very good money shots before going into the shower together.
Honza Biskal is aged 19 and lives in the city of Liberec. He works in a small business and enjoys going to the gym in his spare time. Honza is a very handsome guy, and he has a good body too, obviously his time in the gym has worked for him. In this erotic solo Honza treats us to a nice slow, sensuous build up to be naked, with his dick hard as it comes out of his jeans. He also gives us a great view of his nice hairy hole as he jacks himself. Then after standing, to let us get the full effect of his body, and jacking a while he gets down to the business of a pop-shot which, when delivered, is very good indeed. We would love to do some duos with Honza, but so far we have only managed to persuade him to come in for a wrestling shoot.
Mirek Mastel's massage is a very good one. This particular shoot was arranged as part of a workshop. The student had told us the type of guy he liked, so we brought in Mirek, who is a very sweet guy, who is gay and never has a problem making wood. He looks great as he lays on the massage table and the masseur gets to work. Mirek makes some good wood and we get to see it from behind. He keeps it as the masseur fingers his hole, and then uses two fingers before flipping Mirek over and really getting to work on his dick. After he cums Mirek gets a little surprise as the Masseur gets his own dick out and invites Mirek to suck it. He obliges and is rewarded with a very nice facial.
Ivan Piscecky is 18 and lives in Slany. He is a football loving student. This is his Badpuppy stills session and I must say he looks very good in it. Ivan has a very handsome face, with a nice, natural smile. He also has a good body, which photographs very well indeed. I like Ivan a lot and am hoping we can persuade him to come back and go a bit further.

Outlook Web Access works similar to any other Web-based e-mail client, such as Yahoo!, Popmail, or Hotmail. It has all the basic e-mail functions: an Inbox for incoming mail, an Outbox for outgoing mail, mail forwarding, the ability to use attachments, etc. It also has several advanced functions, such as an appointment scheduler, daily and weekly calendar, and an address book. In addition, the OWA makes it easy to find anyone in the UAB Phonebook. UAB faculty, staff, and students can log on to the directory at mail.uab.edu. You will then be prompted for your BlazerID and password. You must enter your full e-mail address as your BlazerID. For further information about the BlazerID, visit BlazerID Central.
Once logged in the OWA, you can compose, read, and forward e-mail, create folders to store their messages, and set up an address book of contacts. The commands work the same as any other e-mail program: "Inbox" is where incoming mail is stored; "New" brings up a blank e-mail to be composed; "Send" delivers the mail; "Reply" creates an e-mail form already addressed to the sender of the message being replied to; "Forward" copies an e-mail and sends it to another address; "Attach" allows a file from your hard drive or network to be sent with the e-mail.

|Charter First Quarter 2012 Results
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110526/AQ10195LOGO)

Additional Information Available on Website
The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in the Company's Form 10-Q for three months ended March 31, 2012 available on the "Investor & News Center" of our website at charter.com in the "Financial Information" section. A slide presentation to accompany the conference call and a trending schedule containing historical customer and financial data can also be found in the "Financial Information" section.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics
The Company uses certain measures that are not defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") to evaluate various aspects of its business. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net loss or cash flows from operating activities reported in accordance with GAAP. These terms, as defined by Charter, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net loss and free cash flow is reconciled to net cash flows from operating activities in the addendum of this news release.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, and other expenses, such as special charges and loss on sale or retirement of assets. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of the Company's businesses as well as other non-cash or special items, and is unaffected by the Company's capital structure or investment activities. Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures is defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus purchases of property, plant and equipment. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures are used by management and the Company's Board to evaluate the performance of the Company's business. For this reason, they are significant components of Charter's annual incentive compensation program. However, these measures are limited in that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues and the cash cost of financing. Management evaluates these costs through other financial measures.
Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities, less purchases of property, plant and equipment and changes in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures.
The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow provide information useful to investors in assessing Charter's performance and its ability to service its debt, fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the leverage ratio calculation under the Company's credit facilities or outstanding notes to determine compliance with the covenants contained in the credit facilities and notes (all such documents have been previously filed with the
In addition to the actual results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we have provided pro forma results in this release for the three months ended March 31, 2011. We believe these pro forma results facilitate meaningful analysis of the results of operations. Pro forma results in this release reflect certain acquisitions of cable systems in 2011 as if they occurred as of

No thanks, Kogs and Peach. Please read what I wrote: "teams apparently flew from HoChiMinh City to Phnom Penh". Now that's pretty clear on the tentative (some might say speculative) nature of it.This indicates the not-certain nature of this information. Should conflicting information be validated (such as they didn't go to Phnom Penh) then adjustments will be made retroactively.
For example, flight TG517 took 6 hrs 02 min and arr Local Time: 4:30 AM - Mon Jul 27, 2009
I have these flights from Dubai to connecting cities which then have flights to Amsterdam landing late afternoon on July 29:Vienna 0955Hamburg 0900Birmingham 0805Zurich 0840Rome 0925Manchester 0755Munich 0835
With a single connection starting from Talinn, AR15 could go to any major city in Europe or Africa.Here are the 24 flights (not counting to Stockholm or to Gothernburg since AR15 was previously in Sweden or to Vilnius since AR12 was there) in alphabetical order of the destination city which could be taken on Tuesday Aug. 4 out of Talinn:Brussels OV177 1815 1955Copenhagen OV141 0640 0720Copenhagen OV143 1255 1335Copenhagen OV145 1810 1845Dublin OV201 2230 2350Frankfurt LH3179 1840 2010Helsinki AY3940 0615 0650 Helsinki AY3922 0820 1850 Helsinki AY3926 1445 1520Helsinki AY3930 1755 1830Helsinki AY3932 2130 2205London Gatwick OV101 1615 1715Moscow OV301 1325 1605Oslo OV137 1425 1505Oslo DY1067 2215 2255Paris OV171 0800 1010Prague OK879 1515 1625Riga BT364 0520 0615Riga BT312 1010 1105Riga BT366 0850 0845Riga BT312 1010 1105Riga BT314 1140 1235Riga BT316 1610 1705Riga BT362 2115 2210Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Helsinki, Paris and Prague are all major airports with connections to other places in Europe as well as to Africa.My personal hunch is that Copehagen will be visited for the first time in the leg following Talinn. Depending on whether there was a second leg in Dubai, that next leg will be either 9 or 10.
We should not forget that teams had to get from Amsterdam to Stockholm in order to presumably do a leg and then get on the ferry Stockholm to Talinn.Here are the possiblities for flights AMS to ARN on Friday July 31:KL1107 0655 0855KL1109 0925 1125KL1113 1210 1410KL1115 1440 1640SK1556 1800 1955KL1121 2110 2310
I did exactly spot this team at the Tan Son Nhat International Airport for two weeks ago while I was waiting for my flight to Japan
Re: The Amazing Race Re: The Amazing Race I saw them on July 25th evening at the airport. I do not remember the team, but there was a lady and a man. It looked like they were trying to find tickets to the next destination, they did even borrow a computer from a check-in disk for International flights.

When a friend or family member has Alzheimer's disease, you may feel upset, confused or scared. Alzheimer's can be puzzling because a person who has it often doesn't look sick.
Some people with early stage Alzheimer's may forget words or not remember your name sometimes. Otherwise you may not notice too many changes. But, when you spend time with people with later stage Alzheimer's, it is easy to see that something serious is going on. Some people with Alzheimer's may cry, become angry very easily or behave in ways that embarrass you. Sometimes the person may not remember who you are, even if it is someone like a grandparent who knows you very well.
People with Alzheimer's disease are not acting like this because they don't care about you anymore. Changes deep inside their brains are destroying the centers that control remembering, thinking and feeling. They are losing their ability to make sense out of the world.
This page provides resources to help you learn about Alzheimer's disease and understand how it affects you. It's important to know that you are not alone. Alzheimer's changes the lives of everyone it touches.

Conquer KDE: The name should reflect the whole KDE project as (the way I see it) it tries to group everything KDE will be doing in the future to one wiki.
As I read on the mailing list, we are trying to promote KDE to the OSV and to the system admins as well so the Slogan would be a nice way to name the wiki.--Imagine 19:11, 19 January 2007 (CET)
Korner: Well I was thinking about this after what Aseigo told me. I think, like Aseigo, that the name is very important when it comes to marketing. TechZone, TechData, TechBase are very good names but they fall into the normality which is a good thing and a bad thing. There is so much technical information about KDE that I think it would get confusing for everyone about what the Tech[name] would be. So that's why I tried to think out of the box and came out with the Korner.
I think this could be a nice name to market it because we get the 'K' that is referring to KDE and the word 'Corner' that specifies a gathering of information. Plus, "Go to the Korner" could be easy to get use to it.--Imagine 05:55, 20 January 2007 (CET)
