text: Asset QualityThird quarter net charge-offs were $1.1 million, compared to $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2011, and $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2010, as the Company's asset quality profile remained exceptionally strong. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans at September 30, 2011 were 0.54%, down slightly from 0.58% at the end of both June 2011, and September 30, 2010. The total delinquency ratio of 1.56% was up six basis points from June 30, 2011, and down eight basis points from the 1.64% level reported at September 30, 2010. Quarter-end nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.33% was four basis points lower than both the end of last year's third quarter and June 30, 2011. These favorable asset quality metrics continue to be noticeably better than comparative peer and industry averages and illustrate the long-term effectiveness of the Company's disciplined risk management and underwriting standards. The third quarter provision for loan losses of $1.0 million was $0.4 million lower than the third quarter of 2010 and even with the second quarter of 2011. The third quarter's provision was $0.07 million lower than quarterly net charge-offs, indicative of generally stable delinquency ratios and non-performing asset levels and total loan balances. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding was 1.22% as of September 30, 2011 (1.38%, excluding acquired Wilber loans, which are accounted for at fair value), consistent with the 1.38% level at the end of the third quarter of 2010. Benefit Plan Administration and Consulting Services Expansion The Company, through its Benefit Plans Administrative Services, Inc. subsidiary, recently announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire CAI Benefits, Inc. (CAI), a provider of actuarial consulting and retirement plan administration services with offices in New York City and Northern New Jersey. The transaction, which is expected to close in 2011 subject to customary closing conditions, will add presence in a strategic market, as well as valuable capacity and prospects for enhanced distribution in support of the Company's broader-based business. With the addition of CAI, annual revenues from the company's employee benefits consulting and trust administration service offerings are expected to be above $36 million.

Emma Peel: The Avengers
Above image: Diana Rigg as Emma Peel
Buy This at Allposters.com
Enter Emma Peel
Emma Peel made her television debut in the UK in October, 1965. I do not think my husband has ever been the same since. Diana Rigg's cool, beautiful and cat like characterization guaranteed that grown men would turn into slobbering, lavicious wrecks, while women wanted to emulate her independent, emasculated lifestyle.
Born Emma Knight, she showed her prowess at the early age of 21 by becoming the Chairman of Knight Industries - her father's corporation. Between this and her meeting with John Steed, she married pilot Peter Peel who we later learn was involved in a plane crash and thought to have died.
While mourning for her husband, she realized that stuffy board meetings were not for her. Emma craved excitement in her life, along with a dash of danger and adventure. John Steed would provide this and more. Adept at both Kung Fu and Karate, she was also very capable with a gun or sword.
The chemistry and subtle humor between Diana Rigg's Emma and Patrick Macnee's Steed is stuff of TV legend. Two other actresses tried and failed to bring Emma Peel to life, but she still lives on in the minds and memories of a generation of a certain age.
The Avengers: The American Introduction
Elizabeth Shepherd -The First Emma Peel
Once Honor Blackman had decided to hang up her leather boots as Cathy Gale in 1964, the search was on to find a new partner for John Steed. However, things did not run as smoothly as the producers would have hoped.
After several months of auditions, actress Elizabeth Shepherd (pictured right) secured the role of Emma Peel. It was decided that a new character would accompany Steed on his missions, as Cathy Gale was so synonymous with Honor Blackman. Emma Peel was born out of "man appeal" or "m-appeal", and thus a new era of The Avengers began.
Filming started, and Shepherd completed the episode The Town of No Return and only half of The Murder Market after which her contract was terminated. The producers felt she was not right for the part, but a definitive reason for her departure has never truly been uncovered.
Looking at the pictures of Shepherd, it seems somewhat unsurprising that she secured the role. She bears an uncanny resemblance to Honor Blackman, with the blond hair and statuesque figure. This is how Emma Peel could have appeared had circumstances turned out differently.

The above episodes were the first to feature Emma Peel as John Steed's sidekick. They were initially shown in the UK between October 1965 and March 1966. Unlike the previous three seasons, The Avengers was now recorded on film in monochrome, thanks to an injection of funds from American backers.
Many fans of the series consider these episodes to be superior to the following color season, although this is, of course, a matter of personal taste.

November 1967 would see the last of Emma Peel's adventures with John Steed, except that Diana Rigg agreed to return for one last episode, The Forget-Me-Not, in which she hands over the reins to a new partner, Tara King.
It would be another 31 years before Emma would appear on film again (bar a short cameo appearance in The New Avengers).
The Avengers: The Movie
Emma Peel in Hollywood
Following her departure in 1968, nothing new was seen of Emma Peel until 1998 (barring a brief appearance created from old footage used in The New Avengers episode K is For Kill).
Her fans had clamored for her return for thirty years, and while she had appeared in print and in a South African radio version of The Avengers, it took Hollywood to bring her back in the shape of Uma Thurman. This time Emma had the title of Doctor and was equally fashion savvy as she had been back in the 1960s.
Unfortunately for Dr. Peel, her transfer to silver screen was an unmitigated disaster. Only a handful of fans admitted to enjoying what was billed as a summer blockbuster movie named after the TV series. While Emma still had the wow factor in terms of her appearance, this time the chemistry and humor between the two sleuths was now very forced. It did not help that much of the film ended up on the editing room floor, causing the story to become disjointed and inconprehensible.
The critics panned the movie almost unanimously and even Patrick Macnee appeared content that it had flopped miserably. What could have seen Emma Peel return more frequently in sequels was ruined by the Hollywood machine that saw The Avengers as an action contemporary of James Bond, which the television series never was. Emma and Steed were about style and subtlety, not elaborate special effects.
It has now been sixteen years since we saw Emma Peel in action. However, she impressed enough people to rank her #1 in a 2002 TV Guide poll as the sexiest TV star ever.
But, I have a feeling that she is now a memory. A glorious memory nonetheless.
What's Your Opinion?
Who Was Your Favorite Avengers Girl?
Your Thoughts
Emma Peel, beauty, brains and and loads of saucy 'fun lovin' panache to her credit. John Steed, the ideal gentleman to partner up with Mrs Peel on their capers in the murky world of crime solving.
Hoe could i not take an opportunity to not offer comments on this simply amazing hub page. When i was aware of the Avengers T.V. cult series being screened i happened to miss the first few seasons and never even saw glamorous English actress Honor Blackman till her role in Goldfinger likewise the gorgeous Diana Rigg in On Her Majesty's secret service. Fortunately i was able to watch The Avengers as repeats which to me were far more intellectual than the whole host of copy cat 'spin off's we were getting in the late 1960's. Don't get me wrong though some were entertaining but the plot lines in the Avengers happened to be more mysterious and bizarre. The Mister Bigs of the criminal underworld were so confident in their capers that they completely underestimated the the skills of Steed and Mrs Peel in their tandem close knit approach to bringing down the bad men. The schemes those cooks hatched seemed to be foolproof but they themselves ended up the fools whilst this was just all in a day's work for the professional sleuths. The caper was also intermixed with quite clever witticisms too.
Actually Lantokey the term Ms. didn't come into vogue until the 1970s, some time after the Mrs. Peel character left The Avengers. The important thing about Mrs. rather than Miss. was that Mrs. Peel was married. Her and Steed could never be a couple.
ERROR; The reptile in question held by Mrs Peel in her 'snake dance' sequence was in fact a python and not a boa - constrictor as stated. Both of which do not sting their prey but rather coil around their victim and squeeze them breathless. The Avengers Lady though is quite capable of delivering the choke hold and bear hug to her adversary.
Greetings my little Darklings.
Once more we enter the surreal realm of Avenger land, this tyme showing a more than special interest in the formidable Mrs Emma Peel. Mrs ? Yes indeed ! Right at the very beginning of when the title Ms inspired by the Women's Liberation movement, Mrs Peel preferred to assert her independence. Not one to be screaming for help when in danger, she preferred the high swiveling kick to her adversary's upper parts followed up by a karate chop (the rabbit killer) to his neck. Now safe from attack she would walk toward her prone opponent on the floor giving him a saucy smile. In an Avenger's episode 'Queen of sin', Mrs Peel needed to go under cover (pun intended) as a dominatrix. The purpose was to expose a high society all male club of cads and rakes. One of the more zany sequences was her performance with a live boa constrictor where she lulled her audience into a false sense of awareness before they met their ultimate doom.

It all started like this.. I was playing majoras mask... I enjoyed the game alot but then I got to the ranch.. About 30 seconds after I arrived these ghosts appeared. I knew this was a part of the game I was in the middle of fighting the ghosts off, About half way in our power went out. I didnt get to continue. When our power turned back on, I decided to give majoras mask a break. I dusted off my old super mario 64 and placed it in my nintendo 64. Instantly when i started playing something just didnt feel right. The audio wasnt working but I figured that was my television. When I entered the Castle I instantly knew something was definately wrong. The doors were missing. I took a look around but then I saw a toad, I decided to see what he had to say... He said "Death" I was shocked when I saw this. I had no idea if this was a part of the game because its had been so long since i've touched my super mario 64 cartridge. A few seconds after reading that "Death" Message. The Same music that had played from the Ghost attack in majoras mask started playing in super mario 64! I started to get more and more confused.. I couldnt think of anything else to do so I entered the bomb-omb battlefield painting. It was all white for a few seconds but then, the ghost, from majoras mask appeared for a few seconds. I instantly hit the reset button thinking maybe this is left over data from the last time I played? Surely that was stupid to think... I was very frightend from this.
Now that the console was reset. I re-entered the file and went back to the castle. There was still no music what so ever. Since everything was the same, the only idea I had was too Enter another painting. I went into the whomps fortress painting. There was still no music. I walked up to a sign and read it, the message was "Death"... The ghost attack music started up again. I wanted to turn my console off but I was so curious... I walked over to the pink bomb-omb. I talked to him/her and the same message showed up "Death". The cannon opened so I decided to just jump in it. I didnt know where I wanted to go I was just so curious the whole time. I took a look at the bomb-omb while in the cannon. There it was again, the ghost reappeared and disapeared. I saw a flag pole and just decided to shoot at that. When I shot out of it... My game began to get very very laggy.. As it cut out and majoras mask fadded in, the exact place I was standing when my power went out is where I was standing. After a few seconds. The ghost attack started. My bow and arrow wouldnt work and I couldnt pause. I walked up to one of the ghosts and decided to swing my sword at it... No luck. After a few tries I decided to move back a bit and get a better look at the ghost. My console started lagging again. My screen faded out and faded in to mario sleeping infront of whomps fortress as if this was a dream.
I jumped right back into that painting... a message showed up saying "You never finished what you started..." I didnt quite figure out what that ment at that point... It faded back into the romani ranch.. A few seconds later... The ghost attack started again. This time I could take my bow and arrow out. I decided to try and defeat the ghosts. After about 2 minutes they all disapeared. A Message appeared saying "Thats all romani wanted..." I instantly knew what "You never finished what you started" ment...

text: Guys i think i understood what's going to happen in the end of issue 102 negan will come to the safezone and at issue 103 Rick will surrender to Negan that's why it says: " Rick Grimes is no longer in charge, and nothing will ever be the same again" because Negan will be in charge. At the description of issue 104 it says "If you won't handle this... I will." that means that Carl will stand up against Negan (possibly with Andrea and other ASZ citizens, maybe with Hilltop's help) therefore handling what his father could not handle. Don't you think this makes sense? Oh and sorry about the grammar mistakes

File uploads not uploading to dropboxAsked by itsgregm on March 23, 2013 at 12:10 PM
Hi - I have 3 forms that capture files and are set up to upload those files to dropbox. This has worked for me for several weeks, but as of a few days ago, the files are no longer being transferred to dropbox, just the form text (as PDF). I have reset the integrations on Jotform and have confirmed that dropbox has space and is configured correctly. any ideas what could be causing this?
Hello Greg, the first thing I would like for you to try is removing the Dropbox Integration and then add it again to see if this helps to rebuild the integration. Try doing that first and if you continue having issues then please let us know so that we can investigate the problem further.
Care to explain why this happens KadeJM? Why should anyone have to do this? I am also having big problems with this and file uploads... have just submitted a separate query...

I just have to order one more, i really love it :)
Love it, its perfect for post-partum, to wear everyday, puts everything in place, i would recommended, thats why im buying an other one :)
The slimming feature is phenomenal, I ordered a small for my current size which is 5'6 34D and size 6, it fit great however getting the tank on was a mission. I have broad shoulders and the garment isn't very stretchy as it's designed to hold everything in. If you're looking for a postpartum nursing shirt I would recommend going up a size or two depending on how much larger you are after delivering. The small would not have fit if I was still in the post partum phase.
This tank is so comfortable, provides great support and it helps me fit and look great in my pre-pregnancy pants again. I'm always on the go and the clips on this tank are so easy to snap back on that I can adjust it back with one hand. I'm very short so the fit is a little long for me and normally I wear XS but I had to exchange it for S because the XS was hard to get over the breast. I'm very happy with these tanks and I'm glad I got the two colors. I wish I could afford to buy one for everyday of the week!

34 Responses to "Breaking: White House Announces "Insider Threat" Policy"
Here it is again:
Of course, it's plain and easy to observe that the two parties follow the same agenda. But, it's also, with all due respect to the critical thinkers here, a little naive — a short-run formula, if you will — to assume that all the individuals that compose these factions are fungible and homogeneous. Indeed, the elected representatives only compose a small faction of government.
In other words, human beings are not programmable robots. Rather, it may appear that way, but it's certainly not true. President Obama, for instance, was given rise by the Chicago Zionists, led by Rahm Emmanuel, a former IDF volunteer. When he entered office, he followed the instruction from above to a tee with negative results. When he called for '67 borders, the same stance as previous presidents, he was humiliated by Netanyahu. He renewed tax benefits for the wealthy in a complete kowtow and insult to his base, but still was blamed for fiscal mismanagement. When he followed Petraeus' lead to reduce the military footprint and limit our strategy to precision drone strikes, he was met with a negative reaction by the same people who had just holocausted 1,000,000 Iraqis and three times as many Americans as on 9/11 on the basis of lies. Indeed, he was scapegoated for the acts of the Federal Reserve, the Israel lobby and dual nationals, and more. Thus, Obama realized what was happening as Henry Kissinger and the Israeli PM started validating Romney over him: he was the puppet on the way out.
A week before the re-election, Admiral Gaouette, the commander of the USS John C. Stennis strike group, was perp walked off the deck of his carrier. Several personnel dealing with the foreign policy arm of our country have been ousted. Indeed, as the FBI would only have jurisdiction to monitor the CIA director's e-mails if they had a reasonable basis to believe that the CIA director was malevolently tied to a foreign intelligence agency, and whereas Eric Cantor (hint, hint) was notified by an FBI mole of this investigation, therefore, it follows that Petraeus was plugged in order to stop the leak of a far bigger problem: Tel Aviv runs America now.
Finally, Obama's recent seeming support of Israel's strategy to commit a continued ethnic cleansing against the strangled Gaza Strip was a tactful strategy. He repeated hollow statements about Israel's right to defend itself. Netanyahu's stated goals prior to the campaign were to militarily eliminate Hamas, eliminate supposed rocket fire from the Strip, and provide the rest of the Middle East with a glimpse at Israeli firepower — a means to build a deterrent in Bibi's eyes. Bibi's hidden intention was to re-qualify his upcoming re-election bid. Obama gave him a green-light. What happened instead? The world saw a massacre of oppressed civilians yet again. Hamas remains alive and the IDF was not able to suppress the rocket fire whatsoever. Rather than serve as a deterrent, the campaign showed Israel's vulnerabilities, and more of its true nature to the rest of the world. Netanyahu's political opponents now have some ammo against him as well, although Israel is so far to the right that they will likely re-elect him anyway.
So, to assume that the two-party system is a rigid and unusable apparatus is incorrect. As we all saw, Israel put all of its marbles behind Romney and even meddled without question in our politics. Yet, not only did 75% of American Jews still vote for Obama, but the electoral scoreboard revealed an indisputable mandate against Israel, which Shimon Peres and others are trying to walk back from as I post this. Thus, geopolitics and microcosmic niches like our own elections are dictated by dynamic interests and the processes can be used to actually deviate from a supposedly monotonous agenda with two marketing schemes. In addition, if they must lie to us to advance any agenda, then the power does not belong to them.
Where did my comment go?
No, no, not Polynesia !
They are the nicest people on Earth.
Send them to that stray planet wandering aimlessly around the Universe that they've just discovered.
Now all we need to know is whether an "insider" is considered (by the White House) to be an American or an Israeli.

Web tools for large-scale 3D biological images and atlases
Large-scale volumetric biomedical image data of three or more dimensions are a significant challenge for distributed browsing and visualisation. Many images now exceed 10GB which for most users is too large to handle in terms of computer RAM and network bandwidth. This is aggravated when users need to access tens or hundreds of such images from an archive. Here we solve the problem for 2D section views through archive data delivering compressed tiled images enabling users to browse through very-large volume data in the context of a standard web-browser. The system provides an interactive visualisation for grey-level and colour 3D images including multiple image layers and spatial-data overlay.
Interactive browsing of arbitrary sections through large biomedical-image volumes is made possible by use of an extended internet protocol and efficient server-based image tiling. The tools open the possibility of enabling fast access to large image archives without the requirement of whole image download and client computers with very large memory configurations. The system was demonstrated using a range of medical and biomedical image data extending up to 135GB for a single image volume.
Multi-dimensional images are integral to biomedical research with many large scale imaging initiatives now in place to capture image data with genomic-scale coverage. These can be high resolution two- and three-dimensional (2D & 3D) and time varying images from the cellular through to whole organism level of resolution
Some solutions involve the Internet Imaging Protocol (IIP)
However, IIP (and all other related protocols) may only be used with 2D images and a similar presentation method for 3D objects did not exist. Therefore we have developed extensions to the IIP protocol, which we call
The importance of virtual slicing systems for remote access of images was previously noted
Tile based image delivery, that transmits the target as smaller image blocks, is known from commercial web applications such as Google maps. This runs in any web browser and does not require additional software or an applet. We have developed a server based on the open IIP protocol that can deliver arbitrary sections through large scale 3D image data providing a very fast and efficient display that can be accessed with standard browsers. The Visible Human project has generated several Internet based image servers and clients. The EPFL server
To supplement the viewing of arbitrary sections through 3D image data we have developed clients which can visualise any number of image layers including indexed graphical overlays. Many "atlas" views of data include the display of graphically defined regions that correspond to a segmentation of the image space. Typically these atlas regions are constrained in number (usually 255 in the context of an 8-bit index image) and constrained spatially not to allow overlaps. In contrast we have developed an index image that can have an arbitrary number of regions with any combination of overlapping regions and these are provided as an indexed overlay with complete control over the colour and opacity of the individual regions.
In summary, we have extended an open protocol and associated tools which allow fast presentation of 3D volumetric data as arbitrary cut sections delivered at the level of detail and localisation requested, in the form of compressed tiled images. This system is open source, generic and integrable with other functionalities. This extended protocol is
Woolz image representation
Core to this work is the image processing library known as
Large Woolz objects
A recent extension of Woolz allows operations on large objects (e.g. up to terabyte volumes) that do not fit in system memory or would take many minutes to load from disk. It uses memory-mapped files, which reside on the external memory and are loaded on-the-fly block by block as the system requires it. 3D memory mapped objects are represented as a domain and grey value pair, however the grey values are stored in fixed size cuboidal blocks, accessed through a lookup table. The image value subdivision into cubes is similar to other solutions
Cutting arbitrary sections
We specify an arbitrary section through the data volume as a plane perpendicular to the
Figure 1
Sectioning plane definition
Sectioning plane definition. The viewing plans plane is at distance
IIP3D server
The IIP3D server is C++ software, based on a GNU GPL implementation of the IIP server by Pillay and Pitzalis
The full technical detail of the Woolz extensions of the IIP was provided earlier
IIP3D request
The IIP3D server requests are parametrised HTTP requests and typically have four components: Server address: identifies the IIP3D server. Here we use the HTTP protocol and therefore the address is the URL of the FCGI application e.g.
The supported image request commands are similar to the IIP
3D browsing is essentially the selection of a section by setting the various parameters defined by the PIT, ROL, YAW, DST and FXP commands. The IIP3D protocol also supports the viewing modes from Table
In addition the IIP3D server can provide information on the 3D object, with the available queries listed in Table
Image Overlays
In a number of atlases, the histological image may have overlay layers presenting for example anatomical domains or gene expression patterns. These are analogous to satellite images overlaid with street map or traffic information. IIP3D provides this functionality with the select (SEL) command and uses the compound Woolz object format to capture the set of domains. This is an array of independent Woolz objects stored in a single file and each domain can be accessed by selecting the corresponding index. Any number of such indexed domains are allowed and there are no spatial restrictions, the domains can overlap within the context of the viewed section and will be displayed as a set of overlapping colours.
The most general syntax of SEL is SEL = i,r,g,b,a where is the selected objects index, while r, b, g, a are red, blue, green and alpha channels specifiers.The RGB components paint with the chosen colour the selected domain, or for grey/colour objects filter the image selecting only the desired colour components. Simplified syntax allow 1, 2 and 4 parameters with i; (i,a) and (i,r,g,b), with 255 as the default for the omitted parameters.
Grey level or domain components are either independently selectable or stacked in an arbitrary order to generate grey level images, semi-transparent mask images, or a combination. A sequence of arbitrary number of commands specifies the composition order with the alpha channel information to determine layer visibility.
The OBJ=Wlz-foreground-objects requests the index or image value at query point allowing augmented display (e.g. name & description of a domain) in the viewer application. Uniquely the compound object based representation allows multiple overlaying domains to be displayed and queried which implies that the index query will in general return a list.
Faster image delivery is supported by three caching levels. As in the original IIP server, the IIP3D server caches the requested tiles. If multiple users access the same data, or it returns to a previously visualised region then the tiles are not recomputed but fetched directly from the cache. 3D images are often large, and the disk-read time is a significant overhead. Therefore woolz image objects once read are cached for further operations. However, for very large, memory mapped objects only the domain is cached, and not the values. Sections transforms which provide a fast look-up-table encoding of the affine transform are also cached.
Extreme data sizes
Biomedical images may easily be many GB in size, for example the Visible Human image is about 17.5 GB and data sets for electron-microscopy data now reach many terabytes
If the image is part of a resource then downloading significant data is very slow and copying multi-terabyte volumes infeasible. In most cases however, only a small subset of the image data is needed for visualisation since the typical user will be restricted by screen size. For this case we have extended the IIP3D server to use the memory-mapped option for very large woolz images enabling access to images of tens or hundreds of gigabytes.
Supported Image Formats
The woolz imaging system can convert from a range of 2D and 3D formats and are therefore directly supported by the IIP3D server. Supported formats include: Amira lattice, Stanford density, gif, Analyze, IPLab, Jpeg, BioRad Confocal, PNM, raw image data, Tiff, Nifti and vtk. To get the benefit of memory-mapped option for very large volumes and the domain overlays with a global coordinate system, it is necessary to convert to woolz format data.
IIP3D Viewer
The IIP3D Viewer is a configurable web application which displays tiled images requested from a IIP3D Server. It was initially based on the viewer of Pillay
A JSON configuration file identifies various system parameters including the location of the image and the IIP3D server. It also defines the parameters of all the layers associated with an image, including name, location of data and display order. If a tree control is to be used (e.g. for selecting overlay data), the structure and content of the tree is defined in a configuration file.
The central area of the Viewer displays the visible region of an image. Tools for user interaction with the image will typically also be included. The choice of tools and their respective position within the web page is configurable by the web page developer via another JSON file. Tools, see Figure
Figure 2
Example controls for the IIP3D viewer: a - image locator, the blue rectangle indicates the currently visible region and can be dragged to any required location within the full image; b & c - image selection, the red line is dragged to select a new section image; d - 3D section controls with the angle feedback at the top and specific sliders for pitch, yaw, roll, scale and distance
Example controls for the IIP3D viewer: a - image locator, the blue rectangle indicates the currently visible region and can be dragged to any required location within the full image; b & c - image selection, the red line is dragged to select a new section image; d - 3D section controls with the angle feedback at the top and specific sliders for pitch, yaw, roll, scale and distance. e - layer controls selecting visibility, opacity and if needed a colour filter to distinguish multiple grey-level image overlays; f - graphical overlay controls in this case for anatomy regions with the option to control visibility and colour.
If overlaid data is available and has been defined in the configuration file, it is possible to generate feed-back information by use of a 'mouse-down' action over the image. This can be used, for example, to identify structure names within an image. With a small amount of JavaScript coding it is possible for a web-page developer to add their own custom tools.
The browser tries to be efficient in terms of transmission bandwidth and client memory by: requesting tiles only for the visible region of an image; requesting tiles only at the current resolution; for a scrolled/panned object, only new tiles are requested; layers which are not visible are not loaded.

Asynchronous tile image load is provided by AJAX; (b) Controllers provides control through the UI of Mootols library. The model encodes current viewing parameters set by the controllers and visualised by the tileImageView.
IIP3D Proxy
In the case where a large image archive it to made accessible via HTTP requests it is often not desirable to have the web-server also act as the image server. In addition with a large archive or high access rates the requests may need to be delegated to a number of servers. To provide a single point of access and enable this delegation to image servers separated from the Internet by a firewall, we have developed IIP3DProxy, an FCGI application, which filters requests and forwards them to a set of IIP3D servers. The communication conforms to the FCGI protocol. Though it was designated to work for IIP and Woolz requests, it is generic and can route any FCGI request, hence it allows chaining of multiple proxies.
A multi-IIP3D server architecture is shown in Figure
Figure 4

Tiled image
An example section query that consists of six tiles is shown in Figure

An section image consisting of 2 × 3 tiles. The tiles are obtained by 6 requests that are identical except the required tile number of the command.
Overlays with SEL
The IIP3D server delivers tiled views of images and any given application can request tiles from multiple image volumes to be co-displayed as a series of layers with transparency provided by the browser display capabilities. We have implemented a novel strategy using the IIP3D command which can be used to request graphical overlays stored in an indexed object. This process is depicted in Figure
Figure 6
Multi channel request with SEL
Multi channel request with
The IIP3D protocol includes extension of the query commands to provide information for image layout and user feedback. These include the size (in pixels) of a given section image, the size of a tile, the voxel size, the object volume and bounding box and the grey or colour value at a given pixel location within the section image. For example, the voxel grey value query with respect to the 3D location (190,200,190) is
This query can also be made with respect to the 2D location within a given tile.
Performance evaluation
A series of experiments were performed with a single IIP3D server and 1 to 60 clients. The server and client computers were all equipped with dual 3GHz Intel Xeon 5160 CPUs, 7200 R.P.M. SATA disks and 32GB RAM and are directly connected via a dedicated 1 Gb Ethernet switch. There was no other activity on the server, on the clients or on the network other then operating system management tasks.
For testing, we used standalone C++ executables started simultaneously on the 11 client nodes. For test cases with more clients than available client-nodes, multiple concurrent instances were started on the same client node.
The timestamp of each request was recorded along with all other IIP3D request parameters. This allows replication of user browsing behaviour. The object queried was already prefetched from the disk into the server main memory and the complete set of requests were repeated as whole series and timings captured. The first test set takes 4.88s, while the consecutive requires only 0.77s, suggesting the effect of the local tile cache.
Four different scenarios were evaluated with the results shown in Figure
Figure 7
Performance evaluation for four test cases: the direct sets replicate browsing pattern manually performed by a user over 273 seconds; the randomised requests for each client add a random [0.0; 1.0] value to the requested yaw angle, therefore it forces recomputing the sections and does not use cache
Performance evaluation for four test cases: the direct sets replicate browsing pattern manually performed by a user over 273 seconds; the randomised requests for each client add a random [0.0; 1.0] value to the requested yaw angle, therefore it forces recomputing the sections and does not use cache. Both direct and randomised have a wait (W) and no wait (NW) version, which either respect the timing of the manual requests (e.g. waits between consecutive requests) or it does requests tile one after the other. a) Average request time per number of concurrent clients, where dots show the individual request times for each client and b) Average running time for a test set on clients.
The timing requests were ignored in the second test scenario, and requests were started one after the other. The server becomes heavily loaded by the simultaneous 671 requests. However, the result graph shows again a linear behaviour, with 0
It is interesting to remark in Figure
Client executables were started remotely from a test script. We had no control on the exact timing of these processes neither how the request are prioritised by the apache web server, therefore occasionally "lucky" clients occur with lower execution time then the average. Note the client executable did not use any local caching therefore the benefit of the browser cache is not included with these measurements which are therefore a lower bound on the performance experienced by the user.
IIP3D viewer
IIP3D is configurable for the application in use. We present the basic 3D browsing functionality, followed by the support of handling overlaid 3D image data and large databases. We exemplify these functionality on the male VisibleHuman dataset

The left-hand side panel provides slider controls to adjust the sectioning orientation which is indicated by the 3D rendering.

In this view the measurement mode has been selected and the two cyan crosses indicate the transverse distance across this view of the liver. (b) Waxholm space P56 mouse brain. In this view two of the possible 5 modalities have been selected and displayed as two layers. The T2* MR image in grey is overlaid with the histology reconstruction shown as a magenta overlay set to be partially transparent.
Large volumetric data
Large objects stored and visualised at high resolution may be read and served by the IIP3D server. These use the memory mapped data-structures that avoid the requirement to read the full dataset into main memory which for the larger volumes would not be feasible. In addition for archive data of many 1000s of smaller 3D volumes it enables fast access to any image where again it is not feasible to maintain the image data in memory. We have tested the system for image volumes ranging from 5 to 138 GB and found that the response was slightly slower but acceptable given that these are section views that can not for realised by

Layered browsing
Layered browsing. (a) shows a sagittal view through the HUDSEN CS17 human embryo with anatomy delineation and in situ gene-expression overlay. Pausing the cursor over a painted region will display the name of the underlying region and mouse double-click will result in selection of the matching term in the ontology display tool. (b) shows the virtual flybrain interface which has been further developed to enable query of anatomy term definitions and associated gene-expression and connectivity databases.
We have tested this system in the context of atlas-based biological data however it is clearly applicable to a wide range of image data for which arbitrary re-sectioning is a useful visualisation. This visualisation is typically the core requirement in basic science but also medicine where views through the data are the primary views needed by experts who want to see "the real data". It is complementary to recent development of in HTML5 in particular WebGL which is exemplified by the Google "Body Browser" demonstrator (
For archives of volumetric data or single very-large image volumes this server development is the only plausible mechanism to deliver views to users who do not have the required bandwidth, local storage capability or the compute capability to be able to download and view the data. Here we realise the benefit of low-bandwidth tile-based access to image data coupled with very efficient image-processing to calculate the virtual section tiles. This technology is open-source and will run on any unix-based web-server.
Through the IIP3D API the 3D viewer can be integrated into complex applications such as Next Generation Embryology2 - a 3D spatio-temporal framework that augments IIP3D data in conjunction with a repository to deliver research and educational material. Users may add supplementary augmentation (points or region) to the 3D volume, together with texts, videos, external links.
The compound representation of multiple images (i.e. grey level, colour or segmented domains) and providing them as individual or composed images allows compact representation of related data, and offers a novel 3D visualisation of overlays. Also, it has power of representing overlapping domains that standard index-image representations can not provide. We have shown that the performance of our implementation of IIP3D scales well with the number of parallel requests. Grey level or colour data is successfully augmented with domain or gene expression data. Controls, such as sliders, layer selection tool or locator resemble functionality of know tools from desktop applications. These tools and the associated tiling code are all available as open-source.
Future developments of this software include grey-level transforms such as range slicing for 16bit medical data, extension to vector and scalar data and the introduction of a standard glyph library for location and directional marking. In the context of the client interface we will address usability by undertaking a user-evaluation study.

The United States debt is rocketing through the stratosphere with no signs of slowing. America owes foreign countries, private corporations HUGE retirement programs, bank defaults, too large to fail finical institutions, and on and on and on....
When, the United States Defense Secretary was speaking about fighting ISIS/ISIL he spoke of an unlimited credit account that he could place the costs of fighting ISIS/ISIL for the next 30 years. Where is this unlimited credit account coming from? How is the FED paying for this unlimited credit account?
The United States has ZERO chance of ever paying off the debt, EVER! The U.S. debt jumped more than $300 billion in one single day. This happened on Oct 15th, 2015 the first day the federal government was able to borrow money again, under the deal President Obama and Congress agreed too. The insanity of a government which had no fiscal controls is a terrifying thing. There can only be 2 reasons, why those charged with the United States fiscal policy allow such dangerous practices.
2. The second possibility is that those who desire the NWO need to remove the United States from it's position as the world's reserve currency. The best way to do such a thing is the way those of the NWO bankrupted the USSR, endless wars and run away military spending, coupled with a massive central government.
Once the United States can no longer fund it's debt the US Treasury would declare a force majeure. It's called the 6900 series of protocols. Instantly, this would immediately be interpreted by the global marketplaces as a de facto repudiation of all US debt. Should this scenario happen the NWO would already have the new WORLD currency in place and all the NEW global protocols ready to go.
They would allow the world to boil for a few weeks, making people the world over suffer and starve. Only, after the people begged the NWO to come to their rescue would the NWO ride out and save the day. Don't ever forget, that is the very day they caused and planned for for many centuries.

If you're looking for great deals on flights out of Valencia, Spain, ebookers can take the hassle out of the whole process. Your flight out of Valencia will leave from Valencia Airport. Located five miles west of the city, the airport is one of the busiest in the country and handles domestic travel as well as international flights to many European countries. Some of the airlines providing service to this airport include Lufthansa, Air Berlin, and Alitalia.
There are several parking options available at the airport. Parking in the long-term lot will cost you €15 per day for up to four days. The fifth day onwards will cost you €5.95 per day. Car park P1 is the short-term lot ideal for stays of four days and under. The maximum daily rate for up to four days is €15, and the rate for the fifth day is €11.90.
There are several convenient ways to get to the airport. You can take public transportation via the Valencia Metro line No. 3 that runs underground between the airport and the city centre. The cost of your ticket will depend on the zone you're traveling from and will range from €1.50 to €3.90. A taxi from the city centre to the airport will cost you between €15 and €20. The trip will take about twenty minutes if there isn't any traffic.
If you're hungry before an early morning flight, stop by the Cafeteria Medas. It opens early in the morning with the earliest flights and offers delicious food like hearty breakfasts, hot coffee, and delicious pastries. Let ebookers help you book the best fares to Valencia so that you can relax and enjoy every bit of your travels.
Ibiza island, also known by its official name of Eivessa, is located forty-nine miles off the coast of the city of Valencia in Spain. As one of the Balearic Islands, it is a major tourist destination for travellers from all over the world, thanks to its vibrant nightlife and popular electronic music scene. When you're visiting the island, you'll fly into Ibiza Airport, which is located roughly four miles south-west of the town of Ibiza. The airport is served by major national and international airlines, with an estimated 5.6 million passengers using its facilities every year.
You can arrange a car rental in advance with ebookers and pick it up at the Hertz, Avis, Europcar, or National Atesa counters within the airport. You can catch a taxi at the stand next to the main terminal building, and fare to the city centre costs approximately €13. Four Ibiza Bus's route 10 picks up passengers at regular intervals outside the main terminal.
Summer begins in May on the island of Ibiza, with clear sunny days and temperatures in the low 20s. The dry season between June and September is the best time to visit, with temperatures that range between 22°C and 26°C. Winters are balmy, and temperatures average 15°C; however, the temperatures will occasionally rise to 25°C on clear, sunny days. Due to the unpredictable nature of the weather on the island of Ibiza and the cooler summer nights, you should pack a variety of clothing that includes both cool and warm weather wear.
The small island of Ibiza stretches only twenty-six miles across its greatest length, but it offers big fun and a variety of things to do. You can spend lazy days lounging on the island's gorgeous main beach or explore the hidden cove of Atlantis. Much of the area is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which means you'll enjoy pristine, undeveloped views of scenery and native wildlife. Some of these protected sites include God's Finger in Benirràs Bay, the ancient Phoenecian settlement at Sa Caleta, and the Ses Feixes Wetlands. When you're planning your travel to the beautiful island of Ibiza, using ebookers can help you save money on flights, hotel accommodation, and car rentals, leaving you more time and money to enjoy during your stay.

Fares will not be honored retroactively or in exchange for any wholly/partially unused ticket. Tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable. Fare rules are provided for the selected itinerary before booking.

What else is there to say about the assassination of JFK? With every aspect of the case explored in both documentary (Killing Oswald also opens this week) and drama, it's hard to find an angle that hasn't been covered.
This solid but unremarkable adaptation of Vincent Bugliosi's painstaking book Four Days in November focuses on the lives of incidental characters (Zac Efron's exhausted young surgeon, Paul Giamatti's rattled Abraham Zapruder) who find themselves accidentally caught up in the whirlwind.
Barry Ackroyd's cinematography lends a typically authentic air to the proceedings and Jacki Weaver is extraordinary as Oswald's unhinged mother, Marguerite, but Parkland remains a bystander in the already overcrowded field of films about the events of November 1963.

Police investigate new attack in Sydney
Police are investigating another attack on a girl at St Clair in Sydney's outer-west.
Ten girls have been sexually assaulted by a man in the suburb in the past year.
The latest attack happened about 1pm AEST.
Police spokeswoman Wendy Valois says police hope to interview the girl later this afternoon.
She had ridden to the local shops on her bicycle when a male grabbed her, threw her to the ground and physically assaulted her.
An air and ground search is underway for the man, who the girl says was wearing white shoes and black parachute pants.

Mark Shea's Blog: So That No Thought of Mine, No Matter How Stupid, Should Ever Go Unpublished Again!
From what I've read, there's no record of anyone saying "Even God could no sink this ship" until it popped up as an urban legend many years after.
This reminds me of a news report a few years back, where structural flaws in the Twin Towers were said to have caused their collapse. A wit replied that perhaps the airliners had something to do with it as well.
In addition to the alleged machinations of our Protestant brethren shipbuilders, the iceberg may have had something to do with the Titanic going down, too.
I thought they proved that it was really the lack of technology that did it- iceberg hitting weak rivets tore a hole right down the side.
This reminds me of someone telling me a few years ago after Creighton University changed the name of their hospital from St. Joseph's Hospital to Creighton University Med Center that "you know ever since they changed the name, the number of deaths because of infections has gone up" I thought, yea that sounds like something St. Joseph would do out of spite. Sheesh.

First of all, I must say that I enjoy the TV series. However, I believe that AMC took some of the fan favorites from the comic and completely botched them on the show.
First of all, Andrea. In the comic, she was a relatable person who added SO MUCH to the story, having believable relationships with core characters like Dale and Rick. But in the TV show, she is one of the most unlikable characters I have ever seen. At the end of S1, she wants to die. I get that. But a couple episodes later, she's fine. Also, she doesn't listen to the other characters, such as when she shot Daryl (after she mistook him for a walker) despite Rick directly telling her to hold her fire.
Secondly, Michonne. In the comic, she is basically the most awesome character. Everyone's favorite. But in the show, she shows so little emotion that she is not a believable character. In Season 3, she almost never smiles, and spends most of the time being the stereotypical "angry black woman". Her only redeeming acton is how she gradually builds character.
All in all, I think that AMC made a HUGE mistake in taking these characters in the direction they chose.

One of the perks of hosting New Year's Rockin' Eve with Jenny McCarthy is that you get to kiss her. "You're almost guaranteed a kiss at midnight with whomever is next to you," co-host Ryan Secarest explained during a press call Wednesday.
Although he is dating former Dancing With the Stars pro Julianne Hough, Seacrest says there's a good reason for kissing another woman on NYE. "I love it because you are all on the same page for a minute. Everybody in Times Square and everybody watching us is all in that great frame of mind and celebrating good things and feeling the energy in that moment, it seems like we're all sort of in the same – in the same (place) all at the same time for once."
McCarthy has a simpler view of the special night. "I'm, you know, moistening my lips every hour. And, I do have some specific questions that I will be asking some boys to see if they are potentials for my midnight kiss."

PSN down: PlayStation Network breaks on Black Friday
Sony's PlayStation Network is down, meaning that players are unable to access the online services on Black Friday - one of the biggest shopping days of the year.
Sony's official status page showed problems on almost all parts of the online services. As well as the online gaming part of the service, PlayStation's video, music and store services are all down too.
Sony said that its "engineers are working to resolve the issue, and we thank you for your patience".
The problems come on Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year. Many of the biggest deals in the US have included bundles on PlayStations, leaving those that have bought new consoles unable to create accounts or get online.
Sony itself had also been running sales on its currently broken PlayStation online store.

Hey again everyone!
This is a message about the wiki's chatroom (for those who have yet to visit it, please pop in and see by clicking this: Chat)!
Chat Rank Icons
As many of you may know, the chat runs on a hierarchy of rights, from users (normal users with few chat options) to staff (wikia staff members with the ability to demote, kick, ban, etc.). Currently the following groups are recognised in the chat room:
- Users - Normal users
- Chat Moderators - Users granted the right to kick or ban misbehaving users.
- SYSOP's - Users granted the right to kick or ban users who misbehave, and the ability to promote/demote users to/from chat moderator.
- Bureaucrats - Users capable of performing all the above tasks, with the added bonus of promoting/demoting users to/from SYSOP.
- Staff - Deities of the wiki world.
Chat Moderators, SYSOP's, Bureaucrats, and Staff are differentiated from normal users by a small icon beside their names in the user bar (on the right hand side of the chat). This icon just so happens to be the SPARTAN insignia (you may have seen this in your Halo: Reach limited edition copy as a small badge).
To further differentiate between the hierarchy it was proposed in the chat to add further icons to tell who are chat moderators and who are administrators, in order for newer users to seek help from the correct users without the hassle of asking who is who. To add a Halo feel to the chat, the following was proposed:
- Users - Marines - No icon.
- Chat Moderators - ODSTs - Helljumper icon.
- Administrators - SPARTANs - SPARTAN icon (current icon).
- Staff - Revert back to Wikia Staff icon (W).
Chat Name
A couple of months prior, Forerunner updated the welcome message to "Welcome to the chatter net". This change was met with dislike by some members, mostly due to a dislike to change. I propose that we introduce a similar change once again to further add to this Halo atmosphere of the chat, and for user enjoyment. Who doesn't want to place themselves into the Halo universe without having to don their 1 ton suits?!
Whilst the "Chatter Net" is a perfectly canon piece of material, it was believed that the idea of the chat being called "FLEETCOM" was more suiting the the situation. The chat would then be referred to as FLEETCOM, and you would be welcomed into the chat as such.
The implementation of these updates would be solely up to the community, we would never want to impose something the community does not enjoy! So please, should your support, or disagreement, to the ideas and possibly add any further ones!

There has been something about the Ancient Weapons that has been bugging me, if they were supposedly made by the Ancient Kingdom, and that kingdom was wiped out by the 20 kingdom alliance, how did the 20 kingdoms wipe them out when the Ancient Kingdom had such power at their disposal?
Here's my theory, the Ancient Kingdom built the weapons, feeling threatened, the twenty kingdoms stole the designs, built them for themselves, and used them to take out the Ancient Kingdom. Once the Ancient Kingdom was gone, they destroyed their weapons to maintain power, but kept the blueprints. They didn't learn about the poneglyphs until later.
That's my theory, although it's not the most concrete. Prove me wrong or tell me otherwise.

Dear Kingswood Parents,
As we approach the end of our first year of the BYOD roll-out and the introduction of the Google Schools platform and MiEbooks for electronic textbooks, I think it is appropriate for me to give a quick overview of lessons learnt.
Firstly, there can be no denying that the learning curve was steep. While we certainly did not expect that it would be "smooth sailing" when we embarked on this process, it did prove to be quite daunting for pupils and staff alike. The one thing that stood out for me was how difficult the pupils found it to start using their devices for something other than games and socialising. We assumed that they would "just know" how to be productive. Starting in term one next year, we will definitely spend far more time training the pupils in basic productivity. This is a crucial skill which we as a school have to train our pupils in. Pupils who enter the world of work or tertiary study without this basic capability in this day and age will increasingly be perceived as being functionally illiterate.
By contrast, many of our staff surprised me with the enthusiasm with which they approached the possibilities of the new platform. We definitely have a solid base on which to build.
To recap briefly:
GAfE: Google Apps for Education: We are a "Google School". That means that we use Google Classroom to distribute work and Google Docs, Sheets, etc. to do work. Our email system is hosted in Gmail. This does not mean that we do not also use Microsoft Office or any other tool for productivity as required, but it does mean that pupils need to be comfortable using Google as their default platform, and arrive at school with the basics installed.
BYOD: In the Senior School, we run a Bring-Your-Own-Device platform. This means that pupils can bring any device of their choosing and connect it to the school wi-fi network to do their work. However, please ensure devices meet or exceed the minimum requirements under "MiEbooks" below. All pupils must also sign and abide by the College Acceptable Use Policy.
All devices must have Google Chrome installed as the default browser. Ensure that the Google productivity apps (Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Classroom) as well as Adobe PDF reader and MiEbooks are installed on your tablet. ENSURE that your child has access to any account used to install software on the device (iTunes/iCloud accounts; Google Play Store Accounts; Microsoft Store Accounts) prior to their arrival at school.
MiEbooks: In Grades 8, 9 and 10 we are aiming to use electronic textbooks as far as possible. These are downloaded onto pupil devices using the MiEbooks app. It is important to note that pupils do not need access to the internet in order to use their textbooks once they have been downloaded, only requiring intermittent connectivity to download any updated assignments and additional content added by our staff.
The minimum requirements for the MiEbooks platform are:
Android (Tier one devices only - like Samsung, Acer, Asus, Sony, LG)
Quad Core CPU at 1.2GHz processing speed or higher
16GB internal storage space (or higher)
1GB RAM or higher
Android version 4.4 or 5 (KitKat or Lollipop)
6 hours minimum battery life
We highly recommend devices running Android 5+ (Lollipop or later). Android 4.0.4 will only be supported until the end of 2015.
iOS 8 or 9 should be installed
iPad 4 and up, iPad Mini or iPad Air (Note that older iPads may not work properly)
We highly recommend iPad Mini or iPad Air due to their performance and Airdrop support
Microsoft 8.1 with minimum of 16GB internal storage space for tablets and 4GB RAM for laptops.
One of the lessons learnt over the past year is that the MiEbooks platform works very well on Android tablets and iPads, but not so well on Microsoft laptops, unless you buy the really top of the range ones with touch screen monitors. In short, for MiEbooks, the tablets are better.
Things to consider when deciding what to buy for your child:
For Grades 8 and 9, it is relatively simple. I recommend a large tablet (Android or iPad) with a decent cover and compatible keyboard of some kind. This takes care of all the basic requirements.
Another option that some pupils have preferred is to buy a small tablet for the textbooks and basic work and complement that with either a laptop or Chromebook (my preference) for more serious productivity. However, this is a matter of personal preference and budget.
In Grades 10 - 12 much the same applies. Remember that for 2016 Grade 10 will also start using MiEbooks but Grades 11 and 12 only in 2017.
However, pupils doing EGD might want to think carefully about also buying a decent laptop that can run the software specific to that subject (AutoCAD - a "current generation" i5 should be considered the minimum CPU spec; at least 4Gb (preferably more) RAM, and, ideally, a solid state drive and integrated graphics card; the school's licensing for AutoCAD covers pupils for the use of this very expensive software whilst they are pupils).
Also, pupils taking CAT as a subject will need to work on a device that can run Microsoft Office (The school's licensing does not cover the installation of the Office suite on pupil's devices; that should be taken into consideration when purchasing a machine for this task).
Those doing IT may also benefit from having their own Windows-based laptop; the tools required to do curriculum work are all freely available online; basic models will typically work well enough.
However, for all three of these subjects, the computers in our labs on campus are sufficient. It is only if your child wants to work off campus that having a device of your own may become a priority.
Please feel free to contact me with any further queries you might have.

CAMBRIDGE – One of the many things I learned from Milton Friedman is that the true cost of government is its spending, not its taxes. To put it another way, spending is financed either by current taxes or through borrowing, and borrowing amounts to future taxes, which have almost the same impact on economic performance as current taxes.
We can apply this reasoning to the United States' unsustainable fiscal deficit. As is well known, closing this deficit requires less spending or more taxes.
The conventional view is that a reasonable, balanced approach entails some of each. But, as Friedman would have argued, the two methods should be considered polar opposites. Less spending means that the government will be smaller. More taxes mean that the government will be larger. Hence, people who favor smaller government (for example, some Republicans) will want the deficit closed entirely by cutting spending, whereas those who favor larger government (for example, President Barack Obama and most Democrats) will want the deficit closed entirely by raising taxes.
As the economist Alberto Alesina has found from studies of fiscal stabilization in OECD countries, eliminating fiscal deficits through spending cuts tends to be much better for the economy than eliminating them through tax increases. A natural interpretation is that spending adjustments work better because they promise smaller government, thereby favoring economic growth.
