Dr. Borrello is an associate professor of oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director of the Cell Therapy and cGMP Biologics Core for the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. He is a member of the Hematologic Malignancies and Bone Marrow Translational Program.
Dr. Borrello's clinical research interest is in developing immune based therapies for the treatment of multiple myeloma. His laboratory interests have focused on the development of a novel approach of adoptive T cell therapy utilizing marrow infiltrating lymphocytes (MILs) as a more tumor specific T cell approach. This has led to establishing the first adoptive T cell trials at Johns Hopkins, and he is currently exploring this approach in other diseases including non-hematologic malignancies. Dr. Borrello is also examining strategies for treating minimal residual disease (MRD) in myeloma with the combination of immune modulation and whole cell-based vaccines.
Dr. Borrello received his medical degree from the Medical College of Virginia, did his residency at the University of Chicaco and fellowship at Johns Hopkins.

Just about a year ago, I scored this. Oh, how the time flew...
And taking a closer look at the previous hands -- man, I played like an idiot. XD

Furthermore, Anime Central is coming up. With two others, I am scheduled to run two panels. On top of that, my club is running a mahjong event, with a tournament (barring interest). If I don't get enough players for a tournament, then I get to play. Win win for me.
But here is my work in progress:
My mahjong addiction has so driven me into the deep end. XD

Are you fucking serious? I mean Tenhou is full of shit, but this is unflushable. Yes I know it's based on seat order, but whoever thought of that should be shot.
Edit: More BS: http://tenhou.net/0/?log=2013051317g...-639fc4f4&tw=2 3 turn riichis for the lose.

And worst on hands I managed to anywhere near tenpai or hit tenpai he still drew winning 1st (besides the one tie), worst game I've had on tenhou by far.

Note to Tenhou folks:
Don't kan for the hell of it especially against a riichi when you're nowhere near tenpai or insanely behind. It's pretty much like shoving a cactus up your ass. Unless you're into that kind of thing.
Also I have to say. Ura dora and the excessive focus on concealment have a very shady origin. Let's just say they got popular thanks to how easy it is to cheat with it in real life:
Skip to 2:48, you don't need subs.
Pon and chi would mess up the cheaters' beautifully stacked walls, and so they made it so the scoring is biased against open hands.
Also, this is why I strongly support orderly discards irl. The typical Chinese style of "toss the tile in the garbage pile" is very easily exploited.
The problem is often crappy rules are made to generate other crappy rules. For example, pattern values in Reach are so low, so people don't get to see big hands? Solution! More fucking dora. But that encourages really weak tight, defensive play, so people get bored? So what? No ten penalty. Chinese mahjong is the same too.
In classical mahjong, there was no kind of restriction. 4 sets and a pair. You win. No questions asked. Points were based on dragon pon, same suit, and more pon gave you more pts because they are harder. Toi Toi was the ultimate hand.
But oh no, people go out with shitty hands. We can't have that. So they put a minimum double requirement. You guys would know this as yaku. But with so few of them, it was hard to actually win. So what now? Add more bullshit, like counting stuff like "not having a flower" to be a double.
You guys know what pinfu means right? It means no points. When mahjong was originally conceived, this was the original piece of trash hand. And then for some reason people started to reward it. What? This is because closed waits were worth points, and so do dragon pairs. 4 straights and a pair thus would garner nothing but the base score. But it's literally the easiest hand to make, so pretty much every variant puts an arbitrary restriction on it such as no chi and what not. You can tell by how awkward the scoring is for Pin Tsumo. We reached the pinnacle of retardation in Chinese Official where having no scoring criteria gives you a lot of points. WHAT?
Japanese Mahjong then made a powerful addition to mahjong, by introducing more nuanced patterns that emphasized consistency. It is arguably the most stand out thing about it, though the excessive dora inflation is a big threat to its legacy. I will say that mahjong without stuff like sanshouku and chanta is insanely dull and I can never go back.
But that made it too easy to go out. Make patterns worth 3-4 doubles. Uh oh, that speed freak is still winning? Make a ridiculously high minimum han requirement. Indeed, a lot of people ended up playing "3 fan mahjong" ) which is arguably the most braindead form of mahjong because they recognize only toi toi and the flush hands. Playing it makes you unable to comprehend tile efficiency because you can't comprehend chi. The funniest thing is that people who demand 3 fan can't even count them sometimes. (It's not "no mixed suits", you dumbass) Of course, most hands can't go out like that, so what now? Remove the dead wall and draw to the end. In addition make it so that self draw is worth 3x the value so you feel like you won a lot. The result? Practically insignificant defensive play.
Which finally led to the ultimate foolishness in Chinese Official, which features pretty much everything that's fucking wrong with mahjong. High Minimum limit, excessive focus on tsumo, and tons of superfluous patterns that do not respect the regular hand. Derp. It was like they took things from Riichi Mahjong that was good and decided to ruin in it. The World Series of Mahjong ruleset is a far better ruleset and probably the one I like the best, but its gameplay is skewed far more offensively. Besides that, Japanese mahjong and classical are the only rulesets that emphasize tile efficiency and hand building. Of these, Riichi Mahjong provides the most gambling excitement at the expense of variance. There's a reason why it's the one that gets played professionally. But stay away from trash rules like Nashi and Nashi-Nashi, especially the later.
In the end, a lot of people will go "my mahjong rules are better than yours" but in reality there's something wrong with all of them. I recommend playing in a different style every now and then, though. It'll give you a bit more insight. A lot of people think 13 orphans is the ultimate yakuman, when in reality, it's actually the easiest to make.

1. There's no dora, and less random luck bonuses.
2. There's less emphasis on closed hands.
3. The hand values are rebalanced to actually be fair...there's no more disproportionally weak hands like All Terminals (chanta).
4. Hands have linear value, without doubling.
I've played it a few times, and it's worked quite well.
The only thing I like to "change" about it is to play with a standard score value of "0." As it is, you choose a standard score value, and after a ron, non-winning players split the cost up to that value, then whoever discarded the tile pays the rest above that value. But I think "discarded pays 100%" is by far the best way (and preserves the purpose of defensive play).

Anime Central:
Yep, I be a paneling @ this convention. The first one done yesterday. The second one in a few hours.
Then a whole scheduled evening of mahjong:
Well, in addition, I did throw in an extra session of play last night. Pretty much went at some more mahjong for a good 5 hours -- particularly with people from the first panel. Good stuff.

I used to post on rec.mahjong where the creator of the rules, Alan Kwan, posted on and had a few discussions on the matter. I believe he posted that the standard score value is arbitrary and that if people don't like it, to just use discarder pays all, though he personally objects to the concept. I think he did drive home a point that everyone finding rules that they like to be the most important. In other words, house rules are the real rules and stop enforcing a "standard" on people. When you play, you should change it to your liking.
However, because furiten does not exist in Zung Jung, I would strongly object to having a value off less than 20 for base. The only reason why Japanese Mahjong can have the most punitive discarder payout is because of furiten.

Hmm, thanks to the abundance of dora per game, it seems that the yaku are more important to have one so you can go out. In this case I feel like ranking the yaku due to boredom, and feel free to tell me how wrong I am.
Naturally some yaku are more interesting to think about than others.
Speed: Obviously the ease of compiling said hand
Offense: How hard it is for an opponent to dodge your yaku
Defense: If you're building the hand, and your opponent attacks or declares riichi. How good are your defensive options and contingency plans?
Value: Reward vs Effort. An easily attained 3900 points is better than a 8000 hand that never gets completed. In general, I mean is it worth going out of your way for it.
Pinfu (4 sequences, no scoring pair, must be double sided wait)
Speed: A (One of the fastest hands to make. But it must be closed. It doesn't hurt that much.)
Offense: B (You cover a lot of tiles, but suji gives you away)
Defense: B (Your hand will most likely be middle tiles which can hurt if someone else is also in tenpai)
Value: A (Only 1 han, but it is easy to keep concealed for riichi)
Tanyao (All tiles must be from 2-8)
Speed: S (This is by and far the fastest hand)
Offense: C (It is somewhat obvious and easily dodged once they see it coming)
Defense: C (same as pinfu but more restricted. Open tanyao cries when they draw a 1 or a 9 and then someone attacks)
Value: S (Without a doubt the easiest han you can ever get)
Yakuhai (Dragon or scoring wind pon)
Speed: B (Triplets are harder to make, but if you can pon...)
Offense: S (As long as you have it, you can build your hand however you want)
Defense: A (If you have a concealed set, you can actually break it apart should you decide to fold. Your hand can contain almost anything, so it is easy to work around things.)
Value: C (Your hand will most likely be cheap if you have to open your hand. Mostly for dealer renchans and to end games quickly when you're in the lead)
Toi Toi (All Triplets)
Speed: B (Triplets are harder to make, but you can pon)
Offense: A (You can wait on any tile, but it is possible for people to suppress by dealing already dealt tiles)
Defense: F (Defensive options are limited because you have duplicate tiles, and will most likely have to pon. And even if you have a concealed triplet, that's still 3 of the same tile-- that means have fewer tiles to defend. You will most likely have to take apart a triplet and gamble at some point
Value: C (It can usually score a bit, unless you go for toi toi nomi)
Chanta (All sets contain a terminal or honor)
Speed: D (You're building a hand with the worst tiles in the game. Go figure)
Offense: A (You are waiting on people's unneeded tiles, usually. )
Defense: C (At the same time, your tiles are the least useful to anyone else and what comes out of your hand? Middle tiles. But you can take apart your hand though.)
Value: F (1 han for open? Pretty much only useful to scrape together hands with many dora)
Junchan (All sets contain a terminal)
Speed: F (Like chanta, but even more restricted)
Offense: B (same as above)
Defense (same as above)
Value: C (At least it pays for itself
Honitsu (Hand contains only one suit and honors)
Speed: C (You are restricted to about 2/5 the deck)
Offense: C (It's very transparent but at least you have honors to trick people with)
Defense: C (You will most likely have stray honors to protect yourself with)
Value: B (Plain honitsu is pretty awful since you will most likely have to open. On the other hand it combines well with other yaku such as yakuhai, chanta, and toi toi)
Chinitsu (Only one suit)
Speed: D (like honitsu but even slower)
Offense: F (You might as well play your hand face up)
Defense: D (You are discarding every other suit and honors.)
Value: A (it's worth a shitload though, which is the only reason to ever consider it)
IIpekou (2 identical sequences)
Speed: B (Shows up often in potential pinfu/tanyao hands. It must be closed though)
Offense: C (no comment)
Defense: C (You generally will have a lot of superfluous tiles)
Value: B (If your hand is closed, this will often be a nice addition
SanShouku (3 chow across 3 different suits. )
Speed: C (It's not too hard to make, but may require some slowdown especially if you draw the wrong end)
Offense: B (Usually not totally transparent)
Defense: C (In most cases you will have hanging tiles as you try to build your chow)
Value:S (It synergizes well with pinfu, tanyao, chanta, junchan. This will be your most common haneman+)
Chiitoisou (7 pairs )
Speed (A?) In general, it's a bit easier to make a pair than anything else. Only weakness is that you can't claim any tiles.
Offense: S It pretty much makes any tile but your furiten tiles and fully exhausted tiles unsafe.
Defense: C (You have duplicates of tiles, reducing the choices you have.)
Value: B (It's not worth that many points, but it can always be combined with riichi)
Kokushi Musou (1 of each terminal and honor, and a duplicate of the last 13)
Speed: F (It's a yakuman. Of course you can't just build it. But it's still the most straightforward one)
Offense: A (It can literally come out of nowhere, including tiles that should be safe like the 4th of an honor tile. However, your discards will imply something fishy)
Defense: S+ (You're keeping tiles that near the end that nobody can possibly ron off of, unless they're trying this too. Also, by keeping stray yakuhai, you're suppressing people's ability to pon and get a quick hand.)
Value: A (Doesn't come much, but because of the above is worth a try if you have 9 or more starting pieces)
Last but certainly not least:
Reach (With a closed hand that is in tenpai, place a 1000 bet and lock your hand)
Speed: -1 level to whatever your hand was, because of concealed unless you were going for something that requires concealed anyways.
Offense: -1 level due to people being altered
Defense: N/A (No shit)
Value: S (For some hands it's the only way to get a yaku; therefore it makes them infinitely better. Presence of ura dora and ipptasu bonuses make it very profitable to declare a riichi when possible, if conditions allow and if you have dora. Or if someone made more dora via kan.)

Extension to the post above:
Speed: Obviously the ease of compiling said hand
Offense: How hard it is for an opponent to dodge your yaku
Defense: If you're building the hand, and your opponent attacks or declares riichi. How good are your defensive options and contingency plans?
Value: Reward vs Effort. An easily attained 3900 points is better than a 8000 hand that never gets completed. In general, I mean is it worth going out of your way for it.
Speed: F-. Good luck even getting it.
Offense: B. It can actually work like a pinfu, and definitely like Iipeiko (considering it has one of 'em already).
Defense: D. The rarity of ryanpeiko may actually make it difficult to make the decision to tear it apart.
Value: C. It takes a lot of effort to even get to ryanpeiko. With a pinfu-type wait, you may actually end up with a pinfu + iipeiko for a 2 han minimum.
Speed: C. The yakuhai component allows faster play; however, the need for all 3 Sangenpai involved slows down development.
Offense: C. Dependent on the open Sangenpai (if any). If two types are called, then this threatens Daisangen, which actually may force players to defend against it. If one type is open, then this lull players into presuming just a basic Yakuhai.
Defense: C. Dependent on the open Sangenpai (if any).
Value: B. 4 han minimum. Not too shabby here.
Speed: D. Just like Toi Toi, but slower because of limited choices regarding Ankou and Pon.
Offense: D. Especially when Open, it becomes blatantly obvious.
Defense: B. High number of terminals and honors to choose from.
Value: B. 4 han minimum.
Sanshoku Doukou
Speed: F. Even fewer choices regarding Ankou and Pon than Honroto.
Offense: D. If 2 of the 3 number types are pon'd, then it can be very obvious.
Defense: D. This hand may encourage open play, and thus fewer choices to defend with.
Value: F. For the effort to even score this hand, it's not even worth much.
San Kansu
Speed: F--. This yaku is so difficult, certain yakuman are actually easier to attain.
Offense: C. Given a maximum of 4 tiles possible out of view, it is completely dependent on the wait type.
Defense: D. This yaku requires at least 3 groups of tiles called, including Ankan. With only 4 tiles to work with, that is a strain towards any effort to defend.
Value: C. While this yaku is listed as 2 han, the amount of fu attained will increase the value equivalent to 3 han.
By the way, my mahjong club had finished this past weekend a multitude of efforts pertaining to Anime Central (Chicago). We featured two panels on Japanese Mahjong as well as a whole evening for a tournament and freeplay. As an extra, more freeplay occurred unscheduled at two separate locations simultaneously.
Once I finish processing the tournament results, I will post them here.

Ah, Kyuu, how are you doing on tenhou?
There's definitely a reason why I didn't list them, and that's because they're so rare that it's almost never in people's minds.
I would rate Shousangen a C for speed though, because it's reliant on you self drawing 2 of each dragon tile, which is really specific. The others I definitely agree with. Someone should list yakuman.

As far as Dan ranking is concerned... I am sitting at 10/800 on 2-Dan ranking. I'll have to throw myself back in there -- now that ACEN had passed. I should just deliberately drop rank and begin working back up again.
This "ranking" mentality translates over to Starcraft as well; and I hate it. It was one reason behind quitting chess a long time ago.

Wells Fargo Charts Double-Digit Growth in Lending, Jobs in Chicago
Wells Fargo Charts Double-Digit Growth in Lending, Jobs in Chicago
Commercial banking loan commitments grow 21%, total employment up 13% since 2010
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Continuing its double-digit growth in jobs and new business at its regional hub here, Wells Fargo & Company (NYS: WFC) said it is hiring more financial services industry veterans in Illinois to keep pace with increasing demand in Chicago, the state and throughout the Midwest.

Wells Fargo's lending commitments to middle market customers in Chicago - typically privately-held, family-owned companies with between $20 million and $1 billion in annual revenues - have increased 21 percent year to date from 2011. Meanwhile, Wells Fargo's team of financial services professionals in Chicago has climbed 10 percent during the same period, now totaling 800-plus. The company's employment now totals more than 3,700 statewide. Over the past two years, Wells Fargo's workforce has grown 13.4 percent in Illinois and 12.8 percent in Chicago.
Wells Fargo anticipates more lending and jobs growth in the Midwest as the company looks forward to the opening of its new regional headquarters in September 2013 at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Center. Last year, the company signed a lease to occupy nearly 300,000 square feet at the Wacker Drive complex. At the time, it was the largest lease commitment in Chicago since 2009.
"Chicago has become an important regional hub for Wells Fargo, and we will continue to add resources here in order to better serve the needs of our customers," said Lisa Johnson, head of Wells Fargo Commercial Banking in the Midwest. "We also recognize that the size and scope of our business in Chicago brings with it a responsibility to give back to the community."
More recently, the Wells Fargo Chicago Central Regional Commercial Banking Office (RCBO) in Chicago hired two relationship managers who previously served at Bank of America with nearly five decades of combined experience:
- Timothy J. Dillon, a 28-year middle market lending veteran in Illinois and Michigan. Most recently, he was a Bank of America middle market senior client manager in Chicago. Previously, he led one of LaSalle Bank's middle market divisions. A Michigan native, Dillon graduated from Marquette University and earned an MBA from University of Detroit Mercy Business School.
- Patrick Keller, a 20-year financial services veteran in Chicago. Most recently, he was a Bank of America middle market senior credit products officer. Previously, Keller served as a client manager at LaSalle Bank. He graduated in business management from University of Wisconsin in Madison.
"Tim and Pat will contribute greatly to our growth and expansion in serving Chicago-area middle market companies across the industry spectrum," said Betty Latson, the Wells Fargo senior vice president who leads a team of 15 Commercial Banking professionals at one of Wells Fargo's three Chicago Commercial Banking offices. Latson has doubled the size of her team since 2009.
Recently added to the Wells Fargo Midwest Division Commercial Banking team as business development officers to increase business in the Midwest market are:
- Bob Stegmann, who has assisted CFOs throughout his career. Most recently, he led the CFO practice at Tatum in Chicago. Previously, Stegmann was a commercial loan officer and division head for 15 years at The Northern Trust Company. He graduated from The Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania and earned an MBA from Kellogg at Northwestern University. He is Chicago Chapter treasurer for the Turnaround Management Association.
- Tom Bush, a 12-year commercial banking veteran. Most recently, he was a Bank of America senior vice president and senior business development officer for Illinois middle market companies with $50 million to $1 billion in annual revenues. Previously, he served in commercial banking and consulting roles with ABN AMRO/LaSalle Bank. Bush graduated from Colorado State University and earned an MBA from Loyola University of Chicago.

Box Score
Utica, NY (Sept. 15, 2012) – The nationally-ranked No. 14 Hobart College football team racked up 502 yards of total offense and scored 14 fourth quarter points, as it pulled away from host Utica College, to earn a 45-26 victory in a battle of undefeated teams at Charles A. Gaetano Stadium Saturday night. The Pioneers (2-1) trailed by just five points midway through the fourth quarter, but two timely touchdown runs of 59 yards and 18 yards by Hobart's Bobby Dougherty essentially sealed the victory for the Statesmen (3-0).
"If you were at the game I think it's easy to tell the final score was not indicative of just how close it really was," said Utica College Head Football Coach Blaise Faggiano. "Our guys gave 110% until the final whistle and you really have to hand it to Hobart for playing a solid game all around. I was proud of the way we responded to adversity -- we were in it right until the end -- and this type of game will really prepare us for the tough Empire 8 schedule that we are about to endure in the coming weeks."
The ground game was certainly working for the Statesmen, as they compiled 218 yards rushing, compared to the
Senior classmate Paul Smith caught one of those touchdowns and, as a former quarterback, he also got in on the action by throwing a 51 yard touchdown of his own to Jeremy Meier, off a lateral from Benkwitt midway through the third quarter.
Meier finished the day with nine catches for 160 yards and two touchdowns, while Jamie Murphy caught six balls for 53 yards and added a key 30 yard touchdown grab with 6:37 to go in the third quarter to help the Pioneers' close to within four points of the lead, 24-20. Meier's 160 yards receiving ranks third all-time (single game) and he extended his program record for points scored in a career as he now has 128 career points.
Both team exchanged blows in the first quarter and the score was knotted at 7-7 after 15 full minutes of play. Dougherty scored his first of three touchdowns on the ground for Hobart, while Paul Smith caught a 36 yard touchdown for the Pioneers. Dougherty finished the night with 174 yards on 20 carries, while Whitesboro's Junior Woodard made six grabs for 161 yards but also fumbled twice.
Hobart pulled away a bit in the second quarter, punching in two consecutive scores to take a 21-7 lead headed into the locker room at the half. Yosh Karbowniczak caught a touchdown pass early in the second quarter, while quarterback Nick Strang added a two yard plunge to give the Statesmen a 14 point lead. Karbowniczak finished the day with six catches for 61 yards. Strang closed out the evening with 16 completions for 284 yards passing and two touchdowns.
UC played extremely well in the third quarter, outscoring Hobart 19-10 to pull within five points by the beginning of the fourth. All three of the Pioneers' third quarter scores came in a span of 9:21 and two of the scores came off of fumble recoveries. UC's Dana Christofferson recovered one of those fumbles. Christofferson also added a game-high 14 tackles, two of which were for a loss. Junior Joe Giametta added 13 tackles for UC, while sophomore defensive back Shawn Mitchell tied two single game records, as he forced two fumbles and broke up three passes for the Pioneers. Mitchell also added a fumble recovery.
Tyre Coleman was a menace on the defensive line for Hobart all afternoon as he made 4.5 sacks and forced one fumble. All told, the Statesmen sacked Benkwitt ten times.
Hobart was a perfect 6-for-6 on red-zone chance inside the 20 yard line, while the Pioneers depended on the big play, as they went 1-for-1 inside the 20.
Despite a valiant effort from the Pioneers', they could not muster a score in the final 15 minutes of play, and Dougherty added two touchdown runs to give the Statesmen a 19 point lead as the final horn sounded.
UC will take a bye week off before heading to Ithaca College to open up Empire 8 Conference play on Sept. 29th at 1 p.m. Hobart returns home to Boswell Field to take on Merchant Marine next weekend at 1 p.m.
Quick Hitters:
Benkwitt now has a school-record 715 career completions …. The Pioneers' five pass breakups as a team tied the school's single game record … 364 team passing yards ranks third all-time … Benkwitt needs two touchdowns to reach 70 for his career … Meier needs 174 yards receiving to move into second place on the College's all-time list … Meier now has 133 receptions for his career (second all-time) … Meier needs 93 yards to move into third place on the College's all-purpose yards list … Meier's nine catches is tied for 5th on the school's single game list.

Visit Exceptional EY to explore our world, watch videos of our people, and learn how we can help you build an exceptional career.
Make your next career move with EY and you take a major step towards achieving your potential. The EY career development framework is called EYU – EY and you – and it will provide you with the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to take your career forwards.
And crucially there are opportunities to progress your career in the direction that most interests you. You are not defined by the area of the business you work in, nor will you only work on one kind of assignment. Instead, you'll be given plenty of opportunity to get varied experience and explore different facets of our business.
Your development is at the heart of our culture. It contributes to an engaging and positive workplace for all, provides opportunities to reward and recognize you, and helps deliver a differentiated service to our clients. In short, it is the foundation for continued success – yours and ours.
There are two parts to our global learning curriculum. The first is designed to build your general business skills and acumen. The second is designed to constantly refresh and enhance your technical skills across our service lines so you can provide an enhanced service and in turn form better client relationships. There are also many structured opportunities to enhance your leadership and relationship skills.
We currently offer more than 16,000 courses on our learning management system. Last year, our people undertook more than six million hours of learning and completed over 700,000 courses.
You can use this system not only to deliver your learning, but also to validate that you have had the technical training you need from a regulatory perspective – wherever you are located in our global organization.
Our success – and our clients' – depends on our people so we take their development seriously.
That's why we invite our people to special milestone learning events as their career progresses, from Welcome to EY as a new joiner, through to the New Partner Program.
We know that the most enriching, career-enhancing experiences are gained on the job, and we recognize this as a formal part of our career development framework. We do all we can to help you get the experiences you need to progress within our organization. With that in mind, we plan assignments in ways that not only give our clients high-quality service, but also provide you with the best environment for your career development whilst enhancing your relationship and leadership skills.
We also encourage you to use your professional skills to give back to the community. This will not only benefit others but will also add to your career and your life – enhancing your leadership, communication or project-management skills.
Our Experiences program offers cross-border and cross-service-line placements with short or long-term engagements. This mobility will enable you to work in different environments, which offer exciting and challenging experiences. It will help you develop an inclusive mindset and thrive in an increasingly global market, at the same time as matching our clients' needs and your personal goals.
Coaching enables you to have open, honest conversations between people at all levels throughout our organization. This ranges from daily informal on-the-job coaching to project feedback and periodic formal performance reviews.
So at one end of the scale you may adopt a mentor with whom you can have ongoing conversations about particular skills or issues, and at the other, you'll have a counselor with whom you'll have more formal performance reviews – and receive structured feedback from.
On-the-job coaching conversations are hands-on interactions that occur in the context of daily work, that help you gain a broader perspective, increase clarity and address particular issues and challenges. Coaching results in improved performance through practical learning and less rework. Working with a colleague who is capable of coaching you on a work-related issue can often help you gain deeper insight into your own work performance.
Performance conversations allow the counselee and counselor to 'look back' and evaluate performance by bringing together and considering multiple views. These reviews help leverage your strengths and address your development needs.
In addition to performance reviews, career development conversations are also an important aspect of coaching at EY. These conversations should challenge you to explore your individual interests, aspirations, needs and options. They also create meaningful goals – both from an annual and a longer-term perspective.
Mentoring provides support, insights and practical advice on a variety of professional development and career topics. Mentoring differs from on-the-job coaching which provides daily support on work related topics. At EY, we encourage our experienced professionals to provide mentoring to less experienced colleagues.

Here's a simple recipe for a straightfoward springtime dessert, made with honey instead of sugar. Use a flavorful honey for best results, and make it extra Spring-y with stewed strawberries.
Like a gingerbread cake, this one tastes better after a couple of days. The flavors meld beautifully. Wrap it tightly and let it sit.
For a more Mediterranean flavor, swap in olive oil for half the canola oil.
Milk and Honey Cake
Adapted from "The Commonsense Kitchen," by Tom Hudgens. I like this book — 500 recipes, all basic and smart and clean. The flavor will vary depending on what honey you use. Makes 1 cake, about 12-16 servings.

The New York Times defended the Texas branches of Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, on the front page Thursday: "Women in Texas Losing Options For Health Care" was reported by Pam Belluck and Emily Ramshaw, a reporter for the Texas Tribune, which produces a twice-weekly local section for the Texas edition of the Times.
Ramshaw was last covered in Times Watch in January, lamenting the "bureaucratic nightmare" instigated by a pro-life law. (When was the last time the Times complained about overregulation?)
On Thursday the Times jumped on a personal anecdote of a poor mother having a hard time because of anti-choice Republicans in the Texas state house, while underselling the Planned Parenthood-abortion connection.
Leticia Parra, a mother of five scraping by on income from her husband's sporadic construction jobs, relied on the Planned Parenthood clinic in San Carlos, an impoverished town in South Texas, for breast cancer screenings, free birth control pills and pap smears for cervical cancer.
But the clinic closed in October, along with more than a dozen others in the state, after financing for women's health was slashed by two-thirds by the Republican-controlled Legislature.
The cuts, which left many low-income women with inconvenient or costly options, grew out of the effort to eliminate state support for Planned Parenthood. Although the cuts also forced clinics that were not affiliated with the agency to close -- and none of them, even the ones run by Planned Parenthood, performed abortions -- supporters of the cutbacks said they were motivated by the fight against abortion.
Now, the same sentiment is likely to lead to a shutdown next week of another significant source of reproductive health care: the Medicaid Women's Health Program, which serves 130,000 women with grants to many clinics, including those run by Planned Parenthood. Gov. Rick Perry and Republican lawmakers have said they would forgo the $35 million in federal money that finances the women's health program in order to keep Planned Parenthood from getting any of it.
The text box employed this loaded language to portray Texas as cutting off its nose to spite its face: "A state that's willing to give up $35 million to keep it from Planned Parenthood."
A 2009 Congressional Research Service report cited federal estimates that Title X helps prevent nearly a million unintended pregnancies annually. Reproductive health experts say that saves money, that every dollar spent on family planning saves about $4 in maternity and infant care.
Some experts also say the financing helps prevent about 400,000 abortions annually. Opponents of Title X and government financing of family planning say these effects are exaggerated.
"Eliminating Title X would not outlaw contraception," said a spokesman for Ron Paul. "People would simply have to pay for contraceptives with their own money or money donated by private sources."
The Times concluded with another poor woman undergoing hardship with multiple children:
Many San Carlos patients struggle to reach Edinburg from their homes in impoverished neighborhoods called colonias. Maria Romero, a housecleaner with four children, who had a lump in her breast discovered at the San Carlos clinic, has no way to get there.

So I've wanted a warping mill for a while, but I couldn't spend that much money on something I knew I could make myself for a whole lot less (about $50, including the hacksaw and some blades, and it's oak). I had to figure it out as I went and I still haven't made the stretcher bars that hold the dowels for the cross. I'll post that as soon as I'm done. The wind is blowing like crazy here in Central Texas today, so I can't work on it since I have to do it outside.
Here's what I bought from Home Depot (not sure if I'll use all the nuts and bolts, but it's what I thought I needed when I was figuring it out in my head and shopping):
2 - 1x2x8 oak
1 - Jr. Hacksaw and blades
1- #10-24 threaded rod (I think it was 36")
8 - #10 wing nuts
8 - 1/4 x 2" hex bolts
8 - 1/4" wing nuts
5 - 1"x36" oak dowels
2 - 5/8"x36" oak dowels
I bought a 12x12 cutting board from Ross next door to the Home Depot for the base, but you can easily use any square of wood.
Here are the measurments that I used:
From the 1" dowel: Leave one at 36". Cut two to 31" and two to 32 1/2"
From the threaded rod: cut eight 1 3/4" pieces.
From the 1x2: cut two pieces at 26" and two pieces at 22" (what's left will make the braces that hold the rods that you wind the cross on - I haven't gotten that far yet. I'm not good at explaining things so I'll let the pictures do most of the talking. With those and the measurements, you should have no trouble.
I drilled a 1 3/4" hole in each end of the four outside rods (use a piece of tape to mark this measurement on your drill bit). Make sure it's enough to go through your "spoke" pieces. I used gorilla glue to keep them in there.
With a piece of the 1x2 I made the part that the axel will set in. I screwed one side into the base, but left one side loose so that I can take the whole thing apart for storage.
Doesn't need the washer in there. Mine just wasn't sitting straight so I threw it in there to help. I will say... that with this set up, the side that isn't screwed into the base makes the axel sit a bit crooked... So you might want to just keep it as one piece and screw the whole thing down.
When I was drilling the holes in the center of the "spoke" pieces... I screwed up. On the top one (one of the long ones) you only have to drill your hole about half way through. I didn't think about it enough and drilled all the way through. Easy enough to fix my adding this little scrap on top. If the axel comes all the way through, the bottom sets on the base pieces and doesn't turn as freely. Having a stop for the axel holds the whole thing up a bit so that it spins without a drag.
See... because I added that part on the top (or if you don't drill all the way through the top piece) it hold the bottom of the winding unit off the base...
And here it is so far... the shorter dowels go with the shorter 1x2 pieces and the longer dowels go with the longer 1x2 pieces. This allows you to foles the spinning portion to flatten for storage.
I'll share when the wind settles down and I can get it finished... Hope this helps.

Adeel Mushtaq, of AAOIFI Takaful Working Group (TWG) presented an update and latest thoughts on AAOIFI Takaful Project at AAOIFI World Bank Annual conference on Islamic Banking and Finance, held in Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain on 17th November 2014.
Solvency II
Qatar Insurance Sector – Assessing the new state of play
The unrelenting pace of regulatory reform across the financial services sector continues, and important insurance initiatives such as the IAIS (International Association of Insurance Supervisors)Insurance Core Principles (ICPs) will be a key focus for many insurers during the next few years. As Qatar insurance supervisors begin to examine how best to introduce the new IAIS ICP requirements, a growing strategic challenge for insurers is how best to accommodate compliance and reporting requirements and extracting value.
- Revised ICPs were adopted in October 2011, and since then many insurance regulators have spoken about reform agendas that seek to capture and align themselves with the IAIS standards.
- This year is the second full year since adoption of the revised IAIS ICPs, with many of the world's insurance regulators now putting pen to paper and proposing and implementing wide-ranging reform packages.
- ICPs take the form of 26 standards with accompanying guidance papers covering governance, legal, solvency, valuation and group supervisory requirements and are enforced by the IAIS, though real enforcement is achieved by the IMF/World Bank Financial Sector Assessment Programme (FSAP).
Risk management change
IAIS have a strong focus on risk management through the Enterprise Risk Management – ERM standard (ICP 16). Risk management is not new to the insurance industry, but the pace of change in regulatory requirements is new for the region. The current global operating environment is characterised by low growth, flat yield curves and high expectations from external stakeholders such as analysts, rating agencies and regulators for quality risk and capital management. Considerable pressure is therefore being applied to the management of insurers to write profitable business and achieve a decent return on capital while at the same time maintaining robust risk and capital management frameworks and reducing operating expenses. Given these imperatives, it is not surprising that many insurers are increasingly turning to their existing risk management functions and asking: how can we best optimise output to ensure value-enhancing performance?
The past 10 years have seen considerable change generally, with risk emerging as a separate function, and the CRO becoming a significant board-level role in many insurance companies. Innovation from the capital and risk modelling work in this period has been used to influence and inform current practices. A significant proportion of this development has been triggered by regulatory need, which has for many firms tended to be interpreted as requiring a 'compliance' focus rather than being primarily driven by the business itself. For a few, these changes have been driven by the volatile and challenging market environment and the need to have a greater understanding of the risks being run.
- In the future, risk functions are going to have to justify the cost of risk management, from both a commercial and a compliance perspective.
- While many risk functions have made significant progress, driven largely by compliance considerations in some markets, they now need to step back and align the commercial and compliance perspectives.
- The capabilities for this new world are in no way different, but there will need to be a significant change in attitude and therefore in culture.
- Embedding an efficient and coherent risk framework will be fundamental to this, as well as ensuring that technology and reporting are well structured and aligned to business needs.
- Perhaps the biggest challenge will be working out how to measure cost and value so as to demonstrate this to stakeholders – this will be far more challenging than simply demonstrating effectiveness, which will be viewed as a given.

Advisory Services
Adeel MUSHTAQ is a senior manager with KPMG Assurance and Advisory Services, is a fellow member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and holds a BSc (Hons) Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University, United Kingdom. He frequently speaks at insurance and Takaful seminars and is responsible for research, advice and training on insurance, Takaful, IFRS and Solvency II. He also acts as a Takaful and ReTakaful contact for Bahrain and is project manager for the KPMG AAOIFI technical team assisting in the development of an AAOIFI Takaful standard.
"A significant proportion of this development has been triggered by regulatory need, which has for many firms tended to be interpreted as requiring a 'compliance' focus rather than being primarily driven by the business itself."
The Conduct Agenda change
The approach of many supervisors continues to build upon the G20 concepts of Treating Customers Fairly and Customer Outcomes and includes some key learning from recent insurance conduct issues. The new approach moves away from the traditional focus on point of sale and places the regulatory lens squarely into product design and customer value, in particular the product development process and governance, product features and customer needs and whether products are designed to be suitable and remain suitable for the intended consumer market.
- Suitability of existing products. There is an expectation that supervisors will continue to challenge the suitability of existing products sold in the sector, particularly where such products are very profitable; there are clear advantages to firms being proactive on this topic.
- Compliance levels of financial promotions and the robustness of financial promotions approval processes.
- Improvement required in post-sales processes, including complaints handling and post-sales reviews.
Accounting change
The insurance contract project of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), or IFRS 4 Phase II as it is commonly known is an ambitious project to have a single comprehensive measurement model for all types of insurance contract. The project is in its final stages with a Re-exposure Draft expected this summer and the final standard expected by the end of the year. IFRS 4 Phase II proposes a completely new approach to profit and loss, performance measurement and monitoring put together with implications for the underlying system changes and processes insurers have to go through to produce required information.
The Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) has also taken up a project to review its guidance for Takaful contracts. KPMG has been mandated by AAOIFI to review guidance for Takaful contracts to bring them up to speed with the latest international standards within Islamic Shariah principles.
- The key challenge for insurers in Qatar is to manage the differing timelines, interdependences and alignment of the change, beyond systems and for business synergies.
- A comprehensive review plan should identify practices that can add genuine value so the business can derive real benefit out of what may otherwise be viewed as simply a compliance exercise e.g. setting of risk appetites and subsequent linking to strategy and business plans.
- Qatar insurers need to stay abreast of the IFRS 4 proposals to ensure they are well placed to adopt the standard.
"The new approach moves away from the traditional focus on point of sale and places the regulatory lens squarely into product design and customer value."
Cutting through complexity
It is difficult to remember a time when the region's insurers were facing so many regulatory pressures from so many sources. Coupled with the plain fact that the region is supporting the growth and expansion of the insurance industry, it is clearly critical for insurance companies – either those operating solely on a local and domestic level or those operating globally and throughout the region – to build the tools and capabilities to cut through this period of increasing regulatory complexity and build a solid platform that supports the successful implementation of strategy into the future

Yesterday, as we were working on an article about how photo sharing sites can help scientists do their work, we stumbled across a link to a Flickr group with a title that, at first glance, doesn't exactly suggest excitement and beauty: Heteroptera from the Iberian Peninsula. At second glance, things looked even worse, given that heteroptera are more commonly known as the "true bugs." Yet a quick glance at the page revealed photos that are simply stunning. So we thought we'd share them with you.
And remember, as our other article discusses, these aren't just pretty images. The metadata and location information that Flickr can store can make each of these images a valuable resource for people tracking rare and invasive species.

Patient discussion about dry
Q. What Causes Dry Eyes? I have been suffering from eye dryness lately, what causes this situation?
A. Dry eyes are often caused when the lacrimal gland does not produce sufficient tears to keep the entire conjunctiva and cornea, that are normally covered by a complete layer of tear film. This usually occurs in people who are otherwise healthy. Increased age is associated with decreased tearing. if it causes you real discomfort talk to a doctor.
Q. what can i do about dry eyes?
A. i suggest treating it symptomatically with visine in the meantime
Q. My contact lenses get very dry and it hurts. any suggestions?
A. Dry contact may signal they should be replaced with new ones, and pain may result from damage to the lenses (e.g. torn lens- VERY VERY hurts). However, as much as I would like to help you, it's just impossible to give you the correct diagnosis over the net without even looking at your eyes. So if you feel any problems with your eyes, ophthalmologist (eye doctor would be the answer).More discussions about dry

Primavera Sound 2012 MP3 Collection, Pt. 2
And we're back with more live music from this Summer's Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona. We've got six artists on deck for the second batch, including:
Sharon Van Etten :: Afrocubism :: Dirty Three :: The Field :: The Pop Group :: James Ferraro
Brooklyn's Sharon Van Etten is on quite the up and up with her soulful blend of folk and pop - we've got her full set from Primavera for your listening pleasure, and don't miss her performance at the WFMU studios this past February. Afrocubism packs an impressive amount of international talent onto one stage, featuring Eliades Ochoa of Buena Vista Social Club and master Kora player Toumani Diabate backed by the finest musicians Mali and Cuba have to offer. Australian instrumental rockers Dirty Three have graciously allowed us to post their full set, including the hillariously foul banter between songs that we couldn't play on the radio. The Field's Axel Willner has been a mainstay of the Kompakt roster since 2004 and we've got the last two numbers from his mind-expanding set this Summer. The Pop Group are still going strong after transforming post-punk in the late '70s, represented here by five selections from their genre-bending set. This batch finishes strong with a sunny performance from experimental man of mystery James Ferraro.

AUSTIN - Two South Texas counties have among the highest rates of people without health insurance in the nation, with working Hispanic men in South Texas the most likely to not have coverage, according to data released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Hidalgo County has the highest rate among urban counties at 38.9 percent, and Maverick County has the highest rate among medium-sized counties at 35.1 percent.
Texas continues to have the highest uninsured rate in the country, with about one in four people having no coverage of any kind. Massachusetts, which requires residents to have coverage, has the lowest uninsured rate in the nation at 4.9 percent.
The Census Bureau's Small Area Health Insurance Estimates are a statistical analysis of the American Community Survey data and other census information combined with federal income tax, Medicaid, food stamps and County Business Patterns records. The dataset is for 2011, the latest year available.
There are vast differences in uninsured rates based on location, ethnicity, income, gender and age. Hispanic males were the least likely to have health insurance nationally, but in Texas the rate was 67.4 percent of Hispanic men between the ages of 18-64 who earn less than $23,000 a year. That is an estimated 950,000 people.
Under the Affordable Care Act, 320,000 of those men will be required to purchase subsidized health insurance, but because Gov. Rick Perry rejected a federal plan to expand Medicaid to include the working poor, more than 630,000 men will not be eligible for the health care program for the poor or subsidized insurance because they make too little.
Texas Medicaid is primarily for children, the disabled and the elderly poor, with very few childless adults eligible.
The uninsured rate for white men with the same income was only 42 percent, or 303,000 people. The rate for blacks was 47 percent, or 155,000 men. Among Texas' most populous counties, Dallas County had the highest rate at 30.5 percent, but Harris County had the most people at more than 1 million.
The five counties with more than 25,000 residents that had the highest uninsured rates were all in South Texas ranging from 34.6 percent in Starr County to 38.9 percent in Hidalgo County. For Eddie Olivarez, chief administrative officer of Hidalgo County's Health and Human Services department, the numbers were all too familiar.
"We always wind up being one, two or three," he said.
The rate is the result of the county's transition from an agriculture-based economy to a service-oriented one, and its location on the Texas-Mexico border, he said. Hidalgo has a fast-growing population, but not the kinds of jobs that offer private health insurance.
So Hidalgo County is one of many counties across the state to pass resolutions calling for the expansion of Medicaid to include the working poor. Otherwise, those individuals end up in local emergency rooms where local residents have to pick up the tab either through higher county taxes or higher premiums on their private insurance.
Perry and other Republican leaders, though, remain adamantly opposed.
"Texas measures its health care success by the options that are provided for coverage, and the efforts to create ones that are affordable," Perry spokesman Josh Havens said. "Medicaid is a broken system, and we think it would be irresponsible to expand a program that is unsustainable."
Perry has instead called on the federal government to provide Texas with all of the available federal funds for Medicaid without any strings attached. Perry rejected a federal proposal to expand the existing Medicaid system with the federal government providing $100 billion over the next 10 years in return for the state spending $15 billion.
In the meantime, the Rio Grande Valley is pinning much of its hope on the planned University of Texas medical school. The area's hospitals and municipalities have banded together to drive the project with the idea that the new doctors it will churn out will increase access to health care, Olivarez said.

Beltrami studied at Pavia from 1853 to 1856, and there he was taught by Brioschi who had been appointed as professor of applied mathematics at the University of Pavia the year before Beltrami began his studies. Beltrami would have liked to continue his mathematical studies but he was suffering financial hardship so in 1856 he had to stop his studies and take up a job. He was employed as the secretary to a railway engineer and this job took him first to Verona and then to Milan.
While Beltrami was in Milan the Kingdom of Italy was established in 1861. It was an important political event which did much to invigorate the academic scene in Italy although it seemed unlikely that Italy could achieve the economic progress made by other European countries since over three quarters of the population was illiterate and most were engaged in agriculture.
At Milan Beltrami began to work hard at his mathematical studies again and in 1862 he published his first paper. He was appointed to the University of Bologna in 1862 as a visiting professor of algebra and analytic geometry. After two years in Bologna, Beltrami accepted the chair of geodesy at the University of Pisa, which he held from 1864 to 1866. At Pisa he became friendly with Betti. In 1866 he returned to Bologna where he was appointed professor of rational mechanics.
When the Kingdom of Italy was established in 1861 Turin was the capital. In 1870 Italian troops entered Rome. The city had been held by the Pope with support from the French, but after Napoleon III was defeated and abdicated, French support to hold Rome evaporated. A new University of Rome was set up in the new Italian capital and Beltrami was appointed to the chair of rational mechanics there in 1873. After three years in Rome, Beltrami moved to Pavia to take up the chair of mathematical physics there. However, Beltrami returned to Rome in 1891 and spent his last years teaching there.
Influenced by Cremona, Lobachevsky, Gauss and Riemann, Beltrami contributed to work in differential geometry on curves and surfaces. He translated Gauss's work on conformal representation into Italian. He then considered the problem of when the geodesics on a surface could be represented as straight lines on the plane. Beltrami showed that not all geodesics could be represented in this way and he then went on to consider the natural question of which surfaces had the property that geodesics on the surface could be represented as straight lines on the plane. His answer was very pleasing, for he discovered that they were precisely the surfaces of constant curvature. Beltrami then considered surfaces of constant negative curvature and was led to his most famous results of 1868.
His 1868 paper Essay on an interpretation of non-euclidean geometry which gives a concrete realisation of the non-euclidean geometry of Lobachevsky and Bolyai and connects it with Riemann's geometry. The concrete realisation uses the pseudosphere, a surface generated by the revolution of a tractrix about its asymptote.
Beltrami in this 1868 paper did not set out to prove the consistency of non-Euclidean geometry or the independence of the Euclidean parallel postulate. What he suggested was that Bolyai and Lobachevsky had not really introduced new concepts at all but had described the theory of geodesics on surfaces of negative curvature. Beltrami wrote in this paper:-
We have tried to find a real foundation to this doctrine, instead of having to admit for it the necessity of a new order of entities and concepts.Houel translated both Lobachevsky's and Beltrami's work into French in 1870 and he noted how Beltrami's paper proved the independence of the Euclid's parallel postulate.
The 1868 paper should have appeared sooner but it was delayed in its publication because Cremona was not entirely happy that it was not based on a circular argument. Cremona worried that euclidean geometry was being used to describe non-euclidean geometry and he saw a possible logical difficulty in this. Cremona was wrong, but his worries caused Beltrami to put his work on one side for a while but the work of Riemann convinced Beltrami that his methods were sound.
Beltrami also worked on optics, thermodynamics, elasticity, electricity and magnetism. His contributions to these topics appeared in the four-volume work, Opere Matematiche (1902-20), published posthumously. Some of his work on physical topics relates to his non-euclidean geometry for he examined how the gravitational potential as given by Newton would have to be modified in a space of negative curvature. He gave a generalised form of the Laplace operator.
In [11] Tazzioli examines how Beltrami used differential parameters when considering problems in mechanics, elasticity, and potential theory. He also used them in giving a generalisation of Green's theorem. Beltrami indirectly influenced the development of tensor analysis by providing a basis for the ideas of Ricci-Curbastro and Levi-Civita on the topic.
Some of Beltrami's last work was on a mechanical interpretation of Maxwell's equations. There are interesting insights into Beltrami's thinking on this topic contained in his correspondence with Cesàro some of which is reproduced in [7]. One of these letters [7]:-
... (dated December, 1888) is devoted to the mechanical interpretation of Maxwell's equations. Here, Beltrami showed a new proof of the conditions when six given functions are the components of an elastic deformation.Finally we should mention an important contribution by Beltrami to the history of mathematics. This appears in a 1889 publication in which Beltrami brought to the attention of the mathematical world Saccheri's 1733 study of the parallel postulate. He compared Saccheri's results with those of Borelli, Wallis, Clavius and the non-euclidean geometry of Lobachevsky and Bolyai.
Beltrami achieved an important role in Italian mathematics, becoming President of the Accademia dei Lincei in 1898. In 1899 he became a senator of the Kingdom of Italy.

Note: this post is modified from a post which originally appeared on Raven's Wing Poetry.
First, an announcement: an excerpt of the video of my poem, "You Don't See It", was featured in a Long Island TV FIOS segment about Awe In Autism.
The segment has been posted on MyLITV's website in two videos. Part 1 features Awe In Autism, its founders (Deborah French and Kim Covell), and some of the work featured on the site, include the excerpt of my poem. Part 2 features "for dylan", a song and music video which the founders call "the song behind the Awe in Autism" project.
In and amongst this bit of news and self-promotion, I feel the need to express a couple of things. First of all, if I haven't said it before, my thanks and gratitude go to Awe in Autism for giving the opportunity for my poetry, namely "You Don't See It", to be featured on their site. AWE has given many autistic artists, musicians, poets, and others an opportunity to have their work seen, heard, and accessed. Also, as Kim Covell states in the first video, artists with autism often have a harder time self-promoting, and while I've gotten used to it thanks to the Internet, I must say I still find the task daunting sometimes. I am grateful for the opportunity for my work to reach a wider audience and go beyond this blog thanks to AWE.
Secondly, as I have said before, "You Don't See It" is probably my best statement and expression to the world of what having Aspergers/being autistic is like. The experience of self-discovery and acceptance has been joyful and at times painful and overwhelming — but probably the most significant thing I could say is that is has been enlightening. And through it all, the craft of writing and poetry have been a conduit and a means for this journey.
Writing is my native language. I am much, much better at the written word than I am at oral communication: there are times that my tongue fails, but praise God my pen does not. This is part of my reality as an autistic person, and is true for many others. The poetry helps me say what sometimes my lips cannot. I hope I have given you, the readers of WWA, at least a glimpse or a peek at what that reality — and my reality as a whole — is. I also hope that through the writings on this blog, both prose and poetry, that I have reached you, moved you, connected with you, made you think, and most of all, made you feel.
Finally, please consider not only watching the videos of the segment but visiting Awe in Autism to see the vast, wonderful spectrum of art by creative and talented autistic individuals. I can promise you that you will not be disappointed, but amazed at the breadth of expression the site has to offer.

Ack! With this new horrifying glitch, Phantasy Star Online 2 has discovered a new level of hell. Character skins can accidentally change... for the worse. The much, much worse. *shudder*
Players discovered this bug (and others) after a recent update, and it causes the skin of non-playable characters to, under certain conditions, turn a truly odd, Technicolor hue. Non-playable characters, however, can also turn a reddish color.
Sega is currently working on a fix and apologized for any troubles or nightmares this has caused. Okay, I made up the part about nightmares.
In the above gallery, there are various examples of this skin color bug, as collected on 2ch. Have a look, IF YOU DARE.
