Basel III was developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in response to deficiencies revealed by the global financial crisis, and represents the biggest regulatory change that the banking industry has seen in decades. The new accord strengthens bank capital requirements and introduces new regulatory requirements on bank liquidity and leverage. Its consequences will run far and deep.
This book considers the practical actions that banks should be taking and gives detailed guidance on the systems and controls changes that banks will need to address. The rationale behind the new framework is explained, and each aspect of the new accord is covered in detail, giving readers an understanding of the changes and what they will mean in practice.
The book goes beyond Basel III to consider related reforms, such as changes to recovery and resolution (what banks should do when they are at risk of failing or when they have failed) and parallel developments in accounting rules and taxation. It also considers implications for areas such as strategy, supervision and the economy.
This is a practitioner's guide that aims to address the new realities of a Basel III world, and will be essential reading for all those concerned with the impact of the new regulation on the banking industry.

Looks good, Chuck. I bet it will be much more user friendly than your first experiment.
Will you be featured fighting your rubber dude in said documentary? Also, will they include subtitles so the rest of us can understand the Mainard dialect? The only thing I can ever make out is "phvc you Yankee!," which is really weird coming from a Mainard.
That other board I built , well I cut the fin off and put it on the wall in the living room.., it's a tad bit heavy. Cedar is heavy, paulownia is the best, it's easy to get a light board.
The irony with puck u Yankee is the point, it's hilarious right ? I'll say it in this thread, I'm not the man who beats the latex doll. But I will continue to curate the surfer fight club
Board looks good. Im sure dude will have a great time on it.
And for the record i find the latex dummy sh!t hilarious. I dont listen to them most the time. But seeing whoever it is get all goofy on it cracks me up every time.
Yeah, I can't watch those vines without busting out laughing. You should gather some more friends and mob that rubber phvcker--that would be some funny chitt.

POMONA - The library Board of Trustees voted 5-1 on Saturday to recommend that the City Council place a tax measure on the November ballot to raise money for the library.
Board Chairwoman Diana Butcher said after the special meeting to discuss funding for the Pomona Public Library that she was pleased with board's action.
"I think it's a good start," she said. "It provides some structure to work from."
The library is a critical resource that many people in the city rely on," she said.
"I think it's very important that as a city we address the value of our library," Butcher said.
The board's recommendation is expected to come up at Monday night's council meeting when the council takes up a discussion on potential tax measures, said City Manager Linda Lowry after the Saturday meeting.
Should council members wish to pursue placing a tax measure for the library on the ballot "they could give us direction to prepare a resolution" at that time, Lowry said.
At the special meeting Lowry told board members there was time to pursue a special tax, if that is what they envisioned.
But board member Veronica Michalowski said residents are concerned and looking for solutions to help the library. It would be prudent to act sooner rather than later and take advantage of the momentum that has developed, she said.
"Because of that it's important to get on this November's ballot," Michalowski said.
Board member Mike Suarez said a parcel tax should be for a modest sum that voters would support, but other board members said the tax couldn't be so low that the revenue generated wouldn't provide sufficient funding to give the library financial stability.
Pomona resident John Clifford, who is among those participating in a community-wide task force working to come up with strategies to provide funding for the library, suggested a $38 annual parcel tax that could raise close to $2million a year.
Suarez said the figure is higher than what he had envisioned but with enough work it could be supported by voters.
Board members recommended the measure call for a $38 annual parcel tax that would be adjusted according to the Consumer Price Index.
They also asked that if the measure is approved by voters that the city provide enough funding for the library to be open five days a week for a total of 38 hours.
Last month, as part of the city's budget process, it was recommended the council close the library for a year starting in mid August.
Council members asked city administrators find a way to keep the library open and they came up with $400,000.
The crisis has prompted many in the city to mobilize and look for ways to fund the library both long term and short term.
During the meeting, Library Director Bruce Guter told board members he is working on a plan that would allow the library to continue running until the the end of June 2013 using the $400,000.
The plan, which will be ready shortly, will require further cuts to library hours, cutting more services and includes a high possibility of eliminating his own position and that of his second in command, Library Services Manager Muriel Spill.
Pomona residents would still be able to borrow books, have access to the library's Children's Room, have personnel to handle reference questions, have access to the library's computer lab and some of the resources the library has available online, he said.
Library supervisors who are experienced librarians would be in charge of operating the library, Guter said.
He also pointed out the library has a foundation that has been inactive since about 2005.
The Pomona Public Library Foundation is a nonprofit created to establish a "supplemental funding sources for the Pomona Public Library and improving the quality of library and information services to citizens of Pomona," according the foundation's mission statement.
The foundation could provide an avenue for Pomona residents, business people and others who are working to raise funds for the library to work through, Guter said.
Lowry said the foundation could also work to collect donations for the library and lead a campaign in support of a tax measure benefitting the library.

Mastectomy - dischargeBreast removal surgery - discharge; Subcutaneous mastectomy - discharge; Total mastectomy - discharge; Simple mastectomy - discharge; Modified radical mastectomy - discharge
You had a mastectomy, the surgical removal of the entire breast. This surgery was doneto treat or prevent breast cancer. Your procedure was one of these:
- For a subcutaneous mastectomy, the surgeon removed the entire breast and left the nipple and areola (the pigmented circle around the nipple) in place.
- For a total or simple mastectomy, the surgeon cut breast tissue free from the skin and muscle and removed it. The nipple and the areola were also removed. The surgeon may have done a biopsy of nearby lymph nodes to see if the cancer spread.
- For a modified radical mastectomy, the surgeon removed the entire breast along with the lining over some of the chest wallmuscles. Some of the lymph nodes underneath the arm were also removed.
- For a radical mastectomy, the surgeon removed the overlying skin, all of the lymph nodes underneath the arm, and the chest muscles.
You may have also had breast reconstruction surgery with implants or natural tissue.
What to Expect at Home
Full recovery may take4 to8 weeks. You may have shoulder, chest, and armstiffness. This stiffness gets better over time and can be helped with physical therapy.
You may have swelling in the arm on the side of your surgery. This swelling iscalled lymphedema. The swelling usually occurs much laterand it can be a problem that lasts. It can also be treated with physical therapy.
You may go home with drains in your chest to remove extra fluid. Your surgeon will decide when to remove these drains, usually in a week or two.
You may need time to adjust to losing your breast. Talking to other women who have had mastectomies can help you deal with these feelings. Ask yourhealth care providerabout local support groups. A mental health care provider can help as well.
When sitting, keep your arm on the side of your surgery up as high as your heart. Doing sohelps prevent swelling. If swelling in your arm does not go away, talk to your doctor.
It is okay to use your arm on the side of your surgery. But do not overdo it until sutures (stitches) or staples and all drains are removed, and you have seen your surgeon.
- Your doctor, nurse, or therapist can show you some simple exercises to relieve tightness. Do only the exercises they show you.
- You can start doing most normal activities again 2 weeks after surgery. Avoid doing things for which you will need to use the arm on the side of your surgery, or that make you keep your arm raised.
- You may drive onlyif you are not taking pain medicines and you can easily turn the steering wheel without pain.
Ask yoursurgeon when you can return to work. When and what you can do may vary, depending on the work you do and whether you also had a lymph node dissection.
Wearing a loose-fitting bra may be more comfortable.
Wound Care
You may still have drains in your chest when you go home from the hospital. You will need to empty and measure how much fluid drains from them.
Stitches are often placed under the skin and dissolve on their own. If your surgeon uses clips, you will go back to the doctor to have them removed. Thisusually takes place7to 10 days after surgery.
Care for your wound as instructed. Instructions may include:
- If you have a dressing, changeit every day until your doctor says you do not need to.
- Wash the wound area with mild soap and water.
- Do not wash or scrub thestrips of surgical tape or surgical glue. Let them fall off on their own.
- Do not sit in a bathtub, pool, or hot tub until your doctor tells you it is okay.
- You may shower after all of your dressings have been removed.
Managing Your Pain
Your surgeon will give you a prescription for pain medicines. Get it filled right awayso you have it available when you go home. Remember to take your pain medicine before your pain becomes too bad.
Try using an ice pack on your chest and armpit if you have pain or swelling. Do this only if your surgeon says it is okay. Wrap the ice pack in a towel before applying it. This prevents coldinjury of your skin. Do not use the ice pack for more than 15 minutes at a time.
Yoursurgeon will tell you when you need to have your next visit. You may also need appointments to talk about more treatment, such as chemotherapy or radiation.
When to Call the Surgeon
Call if:
- Your temperature is above 101.5°F (38.6°C).
- You have swelling of the arm on the side you had surgery (lymphedema).
- Your surgical wounds are bleeding, are red or warm to the touch, or have a thick, yellow, green, or milky drainage.
- You have pain that is not helped with your pain medicines.
- It is hard to breathe.
- You have a cough that does not go away.
- You cannot drink or eat.

A man who preserved semen while he battled cancer a disease that eventually took his life and bequeathed it to his wife did not necessarily intend to become a parent and qualify his offspring for Social Security benefits , the Utah Supreme Court said Friday.
A federal court judge asked the state's high court to answer the question of whether, under Utah law, Michael Burns' signed agreement to donate the frozen sperm to his wife in the event of his death constituted consent to being the parent of any child she later conceived by artificial means. Now that the state court has answered the question, the case will return to federal court.
Gayle and Michael Burns had been married about 2 1/2 years when he was diagnosed with cancer. Because the treatment was likely to leave him sterile, Michael Burns contracted with the University of Utah's urology division to preserve his semen. That agreement allowed the semen to be transferred to his wife if he died.
Michael Burns passed away in 2001. Two years later, Gayle Burns gave birth to their son, Ian.
She then applied for social security benefits for herself and the child based on her husband's earnings, but the Social Security Administration denied the applications. An administrative law judge later reversed that decision.
But the Social Security Administration's appeals council later overturned the judge's ruling, finding she was not entitled to the benefits because her son did not qualify as her deceased husband's "child" as defined in the Social Security Act.
At that point, Gayle Burns filed the federal lawsuit that prompted the legal question that U.S. District Court Judge Dale A. Kimball posed to the Utah Supreme Court.
In its decision, the court noted that, under the Social Security Act, benefit decisions depend on applicable laws in the state where a wage earner resided. That has led to varying decisions across the country regarding providing benefits to posthumously conceived children.
Nancy Hart, a Texas attorney, said there are at least 19 children receiving Social Security benefits in the states of Massachusetts, New Jersey, Arizona, Nebraska, Texas, California and Louisiana.
"There are many states that have changed their laws in order to allow posthumously conceived children to be recognized as the legal children of their deceased fathers," said Hart, who fought her own battle to get benefits for a daughter born in 1991 after her husband's death from cancer.
In May, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the right of the Social Security Administration to rely on state law in making benefit decisions.
Under Utah's Uniform Parentage Act, a spouse must agree to assisted reproduction and to be a parent before he or she dies in order to be considered a parent of a child later conceived through artificial insemination.
The statute's definition of parent is "circular and difficult to apply when an individual dies before the conception of a child," the Utah Supreme Court said, but "it is clear from this statute that one's status as a biological father, a status that Mr. Burns held, is legally insufficient to confer on a biological father the status of 'parent.' "
Gayle Burns argued that her husband indicated his consent to be a parent through the signed storage agreement. But the court sided with the Social Security Administration, which said that agreement merely addressed storage and was insufficient to serve as his consent to be a parent. Michael Burns checked a box indicating he was preserving his semen because of cancer treatment, without also checking "prior to artificial insemination," the court said.
While the form then in use addressed at length viability of frozen sperm in leading to a pregnancy, it made no "express declaration" to parent a child later conceived using the semen.
"Something more is required to constitute consent to be a parent of a posthumously conceived child," the court said. "The agreement in question makes no mention of the donor's consent to be a parent of a child using his preserved semen."
Gayle Burns said Friday that the news was "horrible," but not unexpected.
"For two young kids dealing with cancer, we thought that the storage agreement was sufficient enough evidence to show Michael intended to be a father even after his death," she said. "I take heart in knowing that a piece of Mike and I will be here and that Ian has most all of the qualities of his father.
"That the government of Utah and of the United States doesn't recognize the father/son relationship is very disheartening. I know, all who knew Mike know, and Ian knows, that Mike is his father and that Mike intended to be a father, even in the event of his death. That is all that matters."

3 Tech Stocks to Trade (or Not) - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Put down the 10-K filings and the stock screeners. It's time to take a break from the traditional methods of generating investment ideas. Instead, let the crowd do it for you.
From hedge funds to individual investors, scores of market participants are turning to social media to figure out which stocks are worth watching. It's a concept that's known as "crowdsourcing," and it uses the masses to identify emerging trends in the market.
>>5 Huge Stocks to Trade for Gains
Crowdsourcing has long been a popular tool for the advertising industry, but it also makes a lot of sense as an investment tool. After all, the market is completely driven by the supply and demand, so it can be valuable to see what names are trending among the crowd.
While some fund managers are already trying to leverage social media resources like Twitter to find algorithmic trading opportunities, for most investors, crowdsourcing works best as a starting point for investors who want a starting point in their analysis. Today, we'll leverage the power of the crowd to take a look at some of the most active stocks on the market today.
>>4 Reasons to Buy Stocks in 2013
These "most active" names are the most heavily-traded names on the market -- and often, uber-active names have some sort of a technical or fundamental catalyst driving investors' attention on shares. That's especially true now that earnings season is officially underway. And when there's a big catalyst, there's often a trading opportunity.
Without further ado, here's a look at today's stocks.
>>5 Stocks Under $10 Triggering Breakouts
Research In Motion
Nearest Resistance: $18
Nearest Support: $12.50
Catalyst: Record BlackBerry Order
Shares of Research In Motion (BBRY), better known as BlackBerry these days, are managing to shrug off some of yesterday's gains this afternoon after the firm announced a record 1-million unit order for its new BlackBerry 10 smart phone. The news comes as the latest shot in the arm for BBRY, in spite of today's minor correction, since the $8 billion handset maker has been under some pretty substantial pressure in recent years at the hands of rivals such as Apple and Samsung.
But while shares are climbing fast in the short-term, the rally may be short-lived from here. That's because BBRY is starting to look "toppy" again thanks to a head and shoulders topping pattern that's been forming in shares for the last few months. If BBRY takes out support at $12.50, look out below.
BBRY was also featured earlier this week in "4 Big Stocks Rising on Big Volume."
America Movil
Nearest Resistance: $21
Nearest Support: $19
Catalyst: Technical Setup
Mexican phone carrier America Movil (AMX) is finally catching a bid today, up 3.5% this afternoon after getting shellacked for the past two months. Shares are bouncing on high volume today, after this stock found a pocket of support at $19. If nothing else, that should buy AMX shareholders a little more time above water.
That said, as a trader, I wouldn't recommend being a buyer here. Support's still too tentative to risk seeing AMX's bids evaporate. I'd recommend waiting for shares to push through today's high-water mark before trying to get opportunistic in America Movil.
Nearest Resistance: $4
Nearest Support: $3.60
Catalyst: Acquisition Rumors
Zynga (ZNGA) has been staging an impressive rally this quarter, up more than 45% in the last three months alone. This week, Facebook's (FB) little buddy is getting extra attention from rumors over a proposed buyout by Yahoo! (YHOO). Whether or not the rumors prove to be true is another story, but I'm willing to admit that ZNGA actually looks pretty decent from a technical standpoint.
That's thanks to a solid round-number resistance level at $4, and uptrending support below shares. A breakout above $4 means that any glut of sellers has been taking out, and it suddenly makes sense again to be a buyer.

Two interesting names appear on Team Utah's roster for Saturday's Tanoa Bowl Classic in Auburn, Wash.
Team Utah will face Team Washington at 6:30 p.m. in a game that pits some of the top prep talent from the states against each other.
Team Utah features players like Timpview's Dax Raymond, who has an offer from Utah State, Jordan offensive lineman B.J. Cavender and Timpview's Jake Lloyd.
But there were two players who garnered a lot of attention this season without ever playing a down in Utah Dynamite-Jones Faagata and Cliff Betson. They are the students who transferred from California to Jordan but failed to get cleared to play by the Utah High School Activities Association. They went as far as going to court to get an opportunity to compete but failed in their bid.
In case you're wondering, Jordan coach Eric Kjar is one of the Team Utah coaches. You can check out the entire Team Utah roster at: http://tanoabowl.com/2012/12/26/utah-roster/

What is a urinary tract infection?A urinary tract infection (UTI) happens when your urinary system becomes infected by bacteria. UTIs are common. Half of women will have treatment for at least one UTI during their lifetime (NICE 2013).
- A UTI that affects the bladder is called a lower UTI or cystitis.
- An infection that has moved up to the kidneys is called an upper UTI or pyelonephritis.
You're more prone to UTIs during pregnancy due to the changes your body is experiencing. The hormone progesterone relaxes the muscles of the tubes (ureters) that connect your kidneys to your bladder. This slows down the flow of wee from your kidneys to your bladder. As your womb (uterus) gets bigger, it has the same effect. As a result, bacteria have more time to grow before they're flushed out (Johnson 2014, Schneeberger 2012).
Do you wee more in pregnancy?
If you're pregnant, you may need to wee more than usual. But is frequent urination in pregnancy normal? Find out now.More pregnancy videos
Will it harm my baby if I have a UTI?It may affect your baby, so quick antibiotic treatment is vital if you have a UTI (SIGN 2012a). UTIs have been linked to premature birth and low birth weight (Johnson 2014, SIGN 2012a). That's because having a UTI can irritate your womb into labour, meaning your baby could be born too soon.
What are the symptoms of a UTI?It is possible to have a UTI without any symptoms (SIGN 2012a). That's why you should be offered a urine test as an early part of your antenatal care (SIGN 2012a, NICE 2013, NICE 2008). If bacteria are discovered in your urine during pregnancy, you will probably be offered antibiotics to clear the infection, even if you don't have symptoms (SIGN 2012a).
Symptoms of a UTI in your bladder (cystitis) may include:
- pain in the lower part of your tummy or your back, sometimes feeling like mild to moderate contractions
- pain or burning when you wee
- needing to wee urgently, or more often than usual
- a bit of blood in your urine
- feeling generally unwell (SIGN 2012b)
If you have these symptoms during pregnancy, it's important to see your GP right away.
It's even more serious if the infection has spread to your kidneys. It could make you seriously ill. Symptoms in this case may also include:
- a high temperature of 38 degrees C or above
- constant pain in your back, pelvis or side
- shaking and shivering
- nausea and vomiting
- diarrhoea
- headache (SIGN 2012b)
When these symptoms happen, you should contact your GP straight away. If you can't get to your GP, go to your hospital's accident and emergency (A&E) department.
I often have UTIs. What happens if I get one while I'm pregnant?Your doctor will test your urine for bacteria and prescribe antibiotics if you need them. Antibiotics are effective for bladder infections and your doctor will choose one that is safe during pregnancy (SIGN 2012b, Vazquez 2011).
For pregnant women, the usual recommendation is to take the antibiotics for seven days (NICE 2013, SIGN 2012b). Your doctor will probably test your urine again once the treatment has finished, to make sure your bladder infection has cleared up (Johnson 2014, SIGN 2012a). Your doctor may want to keep testing your urine routinely until your baby is born (NICE 2013, SIGN 2012a).
If you have a kidney infection, you may be admitted to hospital for intravenous antibiotics, given through a drip into your vein. It's important to get the right care quickly, because in rare cases, a kidney infection can progress to sepsis, which happens when the body starts to attack its own tissues and organs (SIGN 2012b).
What can I do to avoid getting a UTI?It's not always possible to prevent a UTI. We don't have proof that it works (NICE 2013) but common advice to prevent UTIs includes (NICE 2013, SIGN 2012a):
- Go to the toilet as soon as you feel the need to wee, and also after having sex.
- After going to the toilet, wipe yourself from front to back, to reduce the spread of bacteria.
- Wash between your legs every day, and after having sex. Use a mild, unperfumed cleanser.
- Drink plenty.
You've probably heard about cranberry juice or capsules for UTIs. There isn't strong evidence that cranberry works to treat a UTI that has taken hold (Heitmann 2013, SIGN 2012a). And it's not a substitute for taking antibiotics, especially if you are pregnant (Heitmann 2013).
However, cranberry juice or capsules may help if you get repeated UTIs (SIGN 2012a, NHS Choices 2014). Some researchers say there need to be more studies of cranberry juice and other methods to prevent UTIs in pregnant women, though (Heitmann 2013, Schneeberger 2012). So always check with your midwife or doctor before trying cranberry juice or capsules as a remedy.

|Summary: Automated Text File Generator
AutoGen is a tool designed for generating program files that contain repetitive text with varied substitutions. Its goal is to simplify the maintenance of programs that contain large amounts of repetitious text. This is especially valuable if there are several blocks of such text that must be kept synchronized in parallel tables. Authors: -------- Bruce Korb <email@example.com>
* Mon Sep 13 2010 email@example.com - Add patch from firstname.lastname@example.com to fix building the documentation with an uninstalled libopts. * Thu Sep 09 2010 email@example.com - Update to 5.11.1: * Fix (kill) orphaned shell program * add file-next-line functions to facilitate #line "C" directives * simplify some snprintfv code * implement dependency generation in autogen output. * fix up fmemopen() * Fixes for unusual shell programs * Remove guile option code * Wed Apr 01 2009 email@example.com - disable static libraries but keep "la" files, package uses libltdl * Mon Jan 12 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to autogen 5.9.7. * several cleanups. * "more-help" is only supported with libopts is in use at run time. Allow for it to be expunged from the documentation. * Add a #define for the configured shell to config.h * add --used-defines to autogen. You can now find out all the names that autogen looked up during processing. That will include computed names and values passed to macros by name and it won't include names only referenced in sections of a template that were not processed. But it helps in documenting a template anyway. * Mon Nov 17 2008 email@example.com - Update to autogen 5.9.6. * Hierarchically valued options can now be stored with ``--save-opt'' option * option state may now be "reset". This is indistinguishable from the compiled state. If option state is "saved" later, such an option will not appear in the save file. * there is a new option argument type: time. Its argument string represents years (?!), months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds. The value seen by the program is an integer number of seconds. (This is not a date/time.) The duration of a year is always 365 days and the duration of a month is always 30 days. * various obscure cleanups. * Mon Jan 07 2008 email@example.com - Update to autogen 5.9.5. * integer number arguments may now have their values suffixed with one of the letters k/K/m/M/g/G/t/T to signify scaling by powers of 1000 (lower case) or 1024 (upper case). Specify, "scaled". * AutoOpts "arg-type" may now be set to "file". Existence of the directory portion of the name will be checked. The existence (or not) of the actual file may also be checked. Finally, the file may be pre-opened with either "fopen(3C)" or "open(2)". * The "columns" program now accepts a "--fill" option to cause it to fill text instead of filling columns. * The tests should no longer indirectly reference installed versions of the binaries. They should all work out of the build directories. * Mon Oct 08 2007 email@example.com - Update to autogen 5.9.3. * libopts requires strsignal, so the config test has been moved. * fixed ``--save'' option bug * programs may now choose to have config files kept in cannonical form ("C" locale), even if long option names are translated. The option definition file must contain ``no-xlate = opt-cfg;'' or ``no-xlate = opt;'' See the documentation for details. * Mon Jul 30 2007 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to autogen 5.9.2. * GNU GPL v3 is now emitted with the "gpl" and "lgpl" functions. * usage.tpl template has been added. * getopt.tpl uses this template for constructing its usage string. * if "short-usage" or "full-usage" can be used to specify the form of the usage text: * not supplied -> compute it at run time * supplied, but empty -> use "usage.tpl" to compute it * is a variable name -> insert into option structure * is text -> emit the text and point to it from option structure * Mon May 07 2007 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to autogen 5.9.1. * getopt.tpl template is fixed to not require the internal header autoopts/autoopts.h. * MAXPATHLEN will use _MAX_PATH on Windows platforms * new libopts configuration option: --disable-optional-args This will #define NO_OPTIONAL_OPT_ARGS in config.h and cause the built library to ignore the OPTST_ARG_OPTIONAL bit in an option descriptor. autoopts generated code compiled with NO_OPTIONAL_OPT_ARGS #defined will never have that bit set in the option descriptors either. If libopts has been so configured, then the installed options.h header will contain: #define NO_OPTIONAL_OPT_ARGS 1 so that client code will generally be compiled with that flag set. The OPTST_ARG_OPTIONAL bit is ignored regardless. * Fixed up --load-opts environment variable processing. You can now correctly suppress config file loading with either: PROGRAM_LOAD_OPTS=no PROGRAM=--no-load-opts * added new auto-supported option, --usage. It is incorporated by specifying ``usage-opt;'' in the option definitions file. * libopts now uses several exit codes from sysexits.h: EX_NOINPUT (66) - a specified config file cannot be found EX_SOFTWARE (70) - libopts error - please file a bug report EX_CONFIG (78) - a NULL option descriptor was passed in - user bug * Sun Feb 18 2007 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to autogen 5.9. * a script for producing Debian packages is included * including of templates and definitions now works more like ``#include "foo"'' instead of ``#include <foo>''. * fixed sizeof(int) != sizeof(size_t) bug. * fixed incorrect argument number format string

News & Events
In the moments after the first bomb went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, many heroic deeds were performed. Among them was when one BSU student looked to the nearby carnage, turned to his cohort and said, "Let's go," before joining the other first responders and racing to help the wounded and dying.
Such is the bravery shown by five athletic training students and Professor Kimberly Wise, who had spent the day working triage inside the tent just beyond the finish line. The students are Jordan DaSilva, Tom Doucette, Joe Sanford, Jordan Leonard, all class of 2014; and Bethany Forshaw, G '13.
Recently the "Wise Five," as they've been dubbed, gathered in the conference room of the Tinsley Center with their professor, who is in her first full semester as a full-time faculty member at BSU after serving as a visiting lecturer for more than a year. They agreed to discuss that fateful day on Boylston Street, sharing their thoughts as a group, so that no one would be singled out.
The members of the BSU contingent were spread around the tent that afternoon, taking turns helping ailing runners deal with the effects of navigating the 26.2-mile course. Each considered working at the marathon "an opportunity unlike anything else," due to the concentration of athletes and wide variety of medical issues they'd encounter.
Once the first bomb went off, Professor Wise saw some of the students running toward the devastation. Her impulse, being the one responsible for their safety, was to stop them, but when that was clearly impossible, she said to herself, "We're going in." She followed.
Their memories of those moments are painful; they exist as "snapshots," and at the time seemed surreal. There was no conception of time. Instinct took over.
"We were already in the mode of helping people," one of the students explained. Diving in to assist the critically injured was just "second nature."
"People who were helpless needed help," another student said. "It's our job to help people."
"If I were lying there hurt I'd hope that people would come and help me," another said. "Sometimes just being with someone in those moments can make the difference between life and death."
What seemed chaotic on television was, on the ground, much more controlled the students agreed. Medical professionals did their jobs. The result was that many lives were likely saved, especially when one considers that the time between the first explosion to the dispatch of the 96th victim to a local hospital was only 22 minutes.
The cohort and professor Wise met with President Dana Mohler-Faria so he could thank them for their service. "It was truly heartwarming to listen to their story and to learn of their heroism," the president said.
The students said the events of April 15 will stay with them, but also that it has only strengthened their commitment to the field they've decided to dedicate their lives to.
"It told me I chose the right profession," one said.
Added another, "It reaffirms for me that I picked the right career."
Professor Wise said the aftermath of the Boston Marathon left its mark on her.
"The heroism of these students is a sight I will always remember," she said.
Yet, the students remain humble, even as others draw inspiration from their selfless acts of bravery on that day. As one of the students said, "It's just what we do." (Photo submitted, story by John Winters, G '11, University Advancement)

Samsung Electronics has announced what it claims is the industry's first multi-chip package (MCP) with phase-change RAM (PRAM) for use in mobile phones.
The 512-megabit (512Mb) PRAM in the MCP is backward compatible with 40nm-class NOR flash memory in both its hardware and software functionality, providing handset designers the convenience of having multi-chip packaging fully compatible with past stand-alone PRAM chip technology, the vendor said.
PRAM, which stores data via the phase change characteristics of its base material, an alloy of germanium, antimony and titanium, provides three-times faster data storage performance per word than NOR chips, according to Samsung. The new PRAM-packaged memory combines the nonvolatile nature of flash memory with the high-speed capability of DRAM. Its simple cell structure makes designing MCP chips for handsets a faster and easier process, with the imminent use of 30nm-class and finer process node technology to overcome long-time design difficulties inherent in NOR flash technology.
As a replacement for NOR, PRAM can more easily accommodate the growing demand for high-speed, high-density nonvolatile memory in mobile phones and other mobile applications such as MP3 players, personal multimedia players and navigational devices, Samsung said.

Adversity has had a serious go at Alex Espinoza.
But the Wasatch senior midfielder doesn't let the past impact the way he commands a soccer field for 80 minutes each game. He is the one, that player who finally delivered a Class 3A state championship to the halls of the Heber City High School when he scored the lone goal in the 2011 title game at Rio Tinto Stadium.
The path to becoming a state champion as a sophomore and eventually one of the most tantalizing players in Utah high school soccer has certainly been filled with hardship.
As an incoming freshman prospect, Espinoza failed a geography class. His teacher was Wasatch coach Dawain Wheatley.
"Part of his legacy is understanding what it's like not to play," said Wheatley, whose lone state championship in 23 years of coaching the Wasps was delivered on the right foot of Espinoza.
The minuscule midfield maestro has grown accustomed to being one of the best players on the field, but the tiny kid with the incredible vision and touch and crazy black curly hair knows how important it is to play the game he's loved for as long as he can remember.
He scored 21 goals and dished out 19 assists during his banner sophomore season. He has 17 goals and 16 assists with two regular-season games remaining and Wasatch sitting at 14-0.
Espinoza approached Wheatley last week and told his coach he wanted to break his own school record for assists in a season. The most assists tallied by one player in a season was 21, set by an Alta player in 1990, according to the Utah High School Activities Association records book.
"I've always been that type of player who likes to look good but also helps make others look good," he said.
It's hard to take your eyes off Espinoza when he has the appropriate space to work his magic. Small in stature but strong and persistent, he resembles Lionel Messi as he continually wards off prodding opponents.
"He's evasive," Wasatch senior forward Ben Powell said. "The dribbling, the speed … it's all there. You come at him, and all of a sudden he's gone."
That's basically how it is.
But that's not how it was in 2012, when Espinoza broke his foot two games into the season. He was playing futsal a form of indoor soccer when he leapt over an oncoming defender and came down awkwardly on his foot.
He still managed to score 17 goals in his junior campaign, but the break continually bothered him during the season. Wasatch eventually lost to Dixie 2-1 in the 3A semifinals.
"I've got to be more smart when I'm not on the field," he said, "but I love soccer and any chance I get, I take it."
His responsibilities go beyond his role as one of four senior team captains. Espinoza, the oldest of four children, helps take care of his three younger siblings and supports his mother while his father currently is in Mexico.
"I've got to help out," he said bluntly.
He had a full-ride scholarship offer to Iona University in New Rochelle, N.Y., but he opted to stay closer to home and plans on playing at Westminster College.
"That's probably one of the only reasons why I'm staying in Utah for college," he said. "I don't want to leave my mom by herself."
Wheatley said his greatest joy in coaching Espinoza is seeing the young star mature beyond his years since his freshman-season struggles.
"There's a lot of responsibility put on him, and I think playing soccer gives him the chance to free flow," he said.
Espinoza does that better than most. He always was one step ahead of everyone else in a recent 4-0 win over Judge Memorial. He headed the ball across the face of the goal off a corner kick so another teammate could run onto it.
After missing a few one-on-one opportunities, he eventually finished a goal in prototypical style.
He received a pinpoint cross from teammate Isaac Smedley and danced around a defender, then the oncoming goalie, before chipping it into the net.
He leapt high off the turf, throwing his fist high in celebration.
"I understand that it is hard, hard, hard to win a state championship," Wheatley said. "They do not come easy. If we don't win it this year, the legacy is still there a kid who did what was best for the team."
As he explains, Alex Espinoza learned to grow up a little and take things more seriously. He now boasts a 3.5 GPA and is on pace to break state and school records in search of state title No. 2.
"As long as I play," he said, "I'm good."
Very good.

Several early designs for a Fallout game for the iPhone have been pitched and rejected in the past at Bethesda Softworks. However, now it looks like John Carmack of id Software, which has recently been acquired by Bethesda's parent, ZeniMax, has an idea for it that might get made.
Carmack told Kotaku that, while it's nothing official yet, he has an internal proof of concept made for a Fallout iPhone game. Both Carmack and Bethesda's Todd Howard are fans of the platform and any iPhone game based on Bethesda's IP will likely be made as a joint project between id and Bethesda.
Carmack said that he will likely be personally involved in making the game, although currently he is too overloaded with work on other games. "At the very least I'm going to be providing code," he said.

Specs and Tester's Tester Comments
As a self-employed contractor in New England for nearly 30 years, I've relied on rotary hammers for as long as I've been in business. As a concrete foundation contractor, I've used them to drill holes for placing rebar into existing foundations to tie into a new pour, and occasionally on new foundations to chisel out a misplaced or forgotten beam pocket or utility chase. These days, with my projects ranging from residential remodeling and new construction to light commercial work, I use them less often but for more varied tasks like drilling for missed anchor bolts, installing deck ledger bolts into foundation walls, chiseling out old concrete firestops, creating holes for conduit, and especially tying new foundations into old.
Recently, my 25-year-old corded rotary hammer cranked out its last hole. And, like most guys, if I can replace a corded tool with an effective cordless one, I'm all for it. So this tool test came at a perfect time; it gave me an opportunity to use and compare some of the latest cordless rotary hammers.
The concrete drilling capacity of the models I compared ranges from 3/4 inch to 1 inch and their batteries from 18 volts to 36 volts. I compared nine tools in four voltages: Three 18-volt models–the DeWalt DC212 KA, Makita BHR240, and Metabo BHA18–the 24-volt Panasonic EY6813NQKW, the 28-volt Milwaukee 0756-22, and four 36-volt models–the Bosch 11536VSR, DeWalt DC233 KL, Hilti TE 6-A LI, and Hilti TE 7-AC. I also tested a 10th tool, the smaller Panasonic EY6803GQW 12-volt combination rotary hammer/driver, which I used alongside the others but review separately at the end of this article. All of these new tools fit common SDS-plus bits, and all but the Panasonics and the 18-volt DeWalt have lithium-ion (LI) batteries.
Out of the Box
Cases. Since I store tools in side- and under-mount truck boxes, I need the case to be compact, but I also like to use the case to store bits. Panasonic's case is too tightly packed to store anything in it, and Makita's is almost as cramped. Most of the rest provide adequate bit storage with dedicated compartments; the Milwaukee is the best of the bunch with a separate compartment in its lid with a latching door. The Hilti cases are almost too large, and their lack of enclosed storage means bits rattle around.
Batteries and Chargers. All of the kits come with two batteries and a charger. Nicad batteries also can be used in the Hilti models, but I tested the tools with the most common LI batteries sold with each. The Metabo also can be used with nicad batteries, but it is not sold with them in kit form in the U.S.
One of the nicest new features on the Bosch, Hilti, Metabo, and Milwaukee LI batteries is a lighted charge indicator. With the push of a button, it lets you know how much charge is left rather than having to find out the hard way in the corner of a crawl space.
All of the batteries–whether they were the tower type or the slide type–clipped in solidly, but Panasonic's hold is reinforced with a snap-in metal band across the bottom. This seems like good insurance given that these vibrating tools probably hand out more abuse to their clips and clasps than any other tool.
The Milwaukee charger plug has a piggyback outlet that came in handy more than once–a simple yet very useful feature.
Accessories. A side handle is standard with each tool, and all but the Metabo come with a depth-stop rod. Both Hilti tools come with quick-disconnect bit holders that can be replaced with an accessory drill chuck, plus dust blow-out bulbs, small dust-collecting cups, and bit grease. The Panasonic includes a unique accordion-style dust collector and bit grease.
Mode Selection. All of these rotary hammers have a hammerdrill mode and a drill-only mode. The Bosch, DeWalt 36-volt, Hilti TE 7-AC, Makita, and Milwaukee also have a third chipping or chiseling mode. And these five tools have a spot on the mode selector that allows for manual setting of the chisel angle. For my money, I prefer to have a model with the chipping feature for the dual use of a single tool, but not everyone uses chipping in their work, especially with these smaller rotary hammers.
A feature unique to the Panasonic is its speed/blow selector that shifts between high and low settings for both rotation speed and hammer-blow power. This allows the user to lower the output speed and impact but keep the motor torque high, unlike just using a variable-speed trigger that lowers the rpm and power together.
