I've heard pretty much every RH song i've wanted to hear live, MINUS "True Love Waits" (which burns my soul actually). I finally heard "Fake Plastic Trees" at Alpine and this is the first time i've seen the guys with their IN RAINBOWS material, so i was excited to see what the set would be. The new stuff is really great live with 15 Steps being the perfect opener. They seemed to have sped up Weird Fishes and it sounds great and Thom and Jonny playing Faust Arp guitar to guitar by themselves is great to behold. I'm still not a fan of All I Need, but what can ya do?
I would have to say that my favorite highlight was without a doubt "How to Disappear Completely" as I had not heard it since my first Radiohead show in 2001. This is one of my favorite tracks ever for many personal reasons and if you're reading this and don't know it, i suggest you download it ASAP. It was great to hear some of the more random tracks such as the above mentioned, along with "Exit Music," "Climbing Up the Walls" and "Just."
Here is the setlist from the show in Cuyahoga Falls, OH on the next night, the 4th of August:
01 15 Step
02 There There
03 Morning Bell
04 All I Need
05 Pyramid Song
06 Nude
07 Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
08 The Gloaming
09 The National Anthem
10 A Wolf At The Door
11 Faust Arp
12 Exit Music (For A Film)
13 Jigsaw Falling Into Place
14 Idioteque
15 Climbing Up The Walls
16 Bodysnatchers

19 Paranoid Android
20 Dollars & Cents
21 Reckoner
22 Street Spirit (Fade Out)
23 House Of Cards
24 Lucky
25 Everything In Its Right Place
A hefty dose of repeats from the previous show, but holy s---, look at the new tracks: WOLF AT THE DOOR, LUCKY, DOLLARS AND CENTS and PARANOID ANDROID?!?!!???!! WOLF was a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE shocker as was D&Cs. The audience went INSANE at the opening chords to Wolf at the Door and at the opening drums of Dollars.
It was a pretty tiring few days due to the travels, junk food, and the 720 miles I put on my car, but i'd do it again in a heartbeat.

"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
JMG, I'll be going to my 7th and 8th Radiohead shows in a few weeks =)
I know they've been soundchecking Portishead's "The Rip" and there's even recordings and videos floating out there but it would be great if they had it in their set. I was able to go to one of their shows back in 06 when they were still fine tuning the In Rainbows songs and truth be told, Videotape was better back then. "All I Need" is awesome, how could you not like it?
And VIDEOTAPE live is pretty enjoyable; Phil adds in the drums and it feels a bit more flushed out, but at the same time it's just as gorgeous. And I dunno about All I Need, it's just not my fave song off the album. I'll be honest in saying that I always preferred the more "rock" version of "Nude" or as I knew it, "Big Ideas (Don't get Any)" with the roaring guitar and xylophone at the end, but the new version quickly grew on me. Enjoy your shows!
A 45 minute Sigur Ros show from the Museum of Modern Art in NY is online; i'm so excited about this show in a few weeks!!! http://current.com/items/89173668_sigur_r_s_moma

SW: Shadows of the Empire soundtrack. Never realized just how similar it is to TPM, and since there were only three years between the two, wonder if Williams was noticeably or subconsciously influenced by McNeely's score. [this was from 1:11pm today]
[edit]Changed CDs, so should add to this. Totally Awesome 80s Mix Tape. That in itself is tame, but in Windows Media Player (of which I have never saved any playlists) it's showing as The Best of Howard Jones (which I do own, and have played in WMP, but not for a long time, and I've played other CDs since then). Case in point: Frida's "I Know There's Somethign Going On" (track 9) is playing, but the computer says it's "Hide and Seek" by Mr. Jones. Deus ex machina pehaps? (and not by the Smashing Pumpkins)

I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
you know what? I got KOTCS'ed at tonight's Radiohead show, the first of 2 that I'm going to. It's devastating because they are supposedly to me as Sigur Ros is to you.
Rather than enjoying the set, I spent all of it trying to fight off the olfactory and auditory assault on my sense. The olfactory was from all the smoke inhalation. Cigarettes are bad enough on me but certain recreational substances are even worse. I was choking and coughing so much that I nearly wanted to start fistfights with the people lighting up around me.
The auditory assault came from the horrendous sound quality. It would be inexcusable at an in store performance at my local record store and definitely inexcusable at a world renowned venue like the Hollywood Bowl. It seemed like the sound techs had no idea what they were doing and the volume and EQ levels of all the instruments fluctuated wildly at times. I guess it didn't seem to bother other people but to me it was tantamount to the proverbial nails on the chalkboard.
Videotape with Phil's added drums would've been great if the drum sounds didn't fluctuate so much. While drummers do not always hit with the exact same velocity every time, it's still very consistent and the only time it peaks is when it's within the context of the musical phrase. However, those brilliant sound techs managed to muck it up badly. It definitely did sound like a lot of playing around with volume and EQ levels and while I did sit towards the back, I've been to other shows at this venue, rock shows even (previous Radiohead tours and Arcade Fire and Flaming Lips) and never noticed the sound problems that I did tonight.
Wolf at the Door was perhaps the best that I've ever heard that song live but no thanks to the sound problems, just about everything else felt lackluster. I left the show feeling the same way that I did after seeing KOTCS, hence my reference to that in the first sentence. The setlist was identical to your Cuyahoga one btw.
Also I got really annoyed with people talking during Exit Music and How to Disappear and also it would often take them a minute to realize what song's intro they were hearing and then they start cheering. It kind of makes me long for the Sigur Ros crowds, at least here in LA, where there is this reverent blanket of silence throughout the set.
Hopefully you'll enjoy your upcoming SR show more that I did my RH show tonight! Actually, I'm sure you will as I've seen them with Amina before and it's not something easily described in words.
I'm trying to listen to as much of the new Metallica that has come out as possible. This Saturday I'm going to see Betallica a strange Metallica/Beatles cover type band so I'm listening to them to get me in the mood.

Chipotle Mexican Grill's (CMG) stock just dived, though it's recovered a little and is now only down 2% on the session. The likely reason is this comment by fund manager flavor of the month Jeffrey Gundlach (I'm quoting Josh Brown's Tweet):
Ouch. (Brown was quoting Gundlach speaking at a DoubleLine event at the New York Yacht Club.)
Gundlach, of course, has been pretty outspoken in recent months, telling Business Week that the stock market was due to go "kaboom," accurately predicting Apple's (AAPL) stock fall and warning investors off technology and bank stocks and into dividend-payers such as Campbell Soup (CPB) and Kraft (KRFT).
Here's the Chipotle intraday chart:
Chipotle is no stranger to fund managers talking trash about it — remember David Einhorn saying it was overvalued back in October:
Mr. Einhorn, the president of Greenlight Capital, noted that Taco Bell's new upscale menu, Cantina Bell, would lure customers away from Chipotle, which offers higher-priced options. Size matters, too. Taco Bell has 5,600 retail locations, but Chipotle has 1,200 restaurants.
"Taco Bell has started to eat Chipotle's lunch," Mr. Einhorn said at the Value Investing Congress, an industry conference in Midtown Manhattan.
Through yesterday's close, Chipotle's stock had risen 13.4% from Oct. 2, when Einhorn made his comments.

I am thinking about doing some public land hunting this spring. I have never hunted public land before so I'm wondering if you guys can give me some tips. The only time that I will see this land is when I hunt it. It is an old strip mining land that is rough but has turkeys from what I hear. I have read that the birds there are really hard to hunt so I will probably wait till the last week of the season to hunt it. I'm hoping everybody has given up by then.
If you use Google earth and look at property, what are you looking for that gives you clue that it will be a good spot to hunt or not. I have tried this on the property that I already hunt and nothing really sticks out to me that turkeys are there.
Also, what are some unwritten rules besides common sense. Like don't walk through someone's decoys and use them as your setup. I don't want any logs thrown at me.

Gotta look at past trades to establish value, and exclude any fluke trades(basically anything the Raiders have done).
Hes not as "blockbuster" as Kevin Kolb or Daunte Culpepper. Kolb was a relative unknown who had potential and Culpepper was a former high performing starter.
Hes not as bust as, say, Trent Green was for us, who we spent a conditional 5th on. Or even a Shaun Hill type situation who went for a 7th.
Steve McNair went for a 4th and id say that sounds about right. Though id have a hard time seeing anyone spend a 4th on a fourth year vet who hasnt lived up to expectations.

John Geurts
Executive General Manager for Group Security
Q&A: John Geurts on check fraud detection
Commonwealth Bank of Australia sees 95% increase in check fraud detection efficiency
Using SAS, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia has detected twice the level of check fraud than in its previous system and had a 60 percent improvement in Internet banking fraud-alert volumes. John Geurts, Executive General Manager for Group Security and Chief Security Officer, offers his thoughts about Commonwealth Bank's use of SAS® and the importance of taking a unified look at financial crimes.
Banks often take a siloed approach to addressing fraud – check fraud is handled by one group, credit card fraud by another. The Commonwealth Bank has taken a single platform approach to address all financial crime, including money laundering.
The reduced loss ratios have translated to a real and substantial reduction in fraud loss expense for the Commonwealth Bank.
John Geurts
John, why did you choose a platform approach?
Financial crime is constantly evolving. Local and transnational criminal groups are very fluid in their structure and approach. Equally as important, the Commonwealth Bank provides a range of integrated financial services that include retail banking, private banking, business banking, institutional banking, funds management, superannuation, insurance and investment, and share brokerage products and services.
We adopted a platform approach because we needed a holistic view of fraud and financial crime that was independent of product, channel or geography. We were also looking to achieve an economy of scale, reducing data storage costs, enabling reuse across the group. In addition, we needed the flexibility to add new products, services and channels to the platform at a far lower incremental cost than installing another customized fraud detection system.
An integrated approach also provides us with the data integrity and modeling sophistication that allows us to make substantial operational improvements in alert volumes, false-positive ratios and rate of fraud detected. We simply needed to be able to future-proof our fraud systems to adapt to any foreseen or unforeseen changes in our business requirements.
Did you migrate everything at once?
No, we took a staged approach with our financial crimes platform and have migrated our siloed capability onto the platform, including: Internet fraud, internal (staff) fraud, application fraud, check fraud, merchant fraud and debit card fraud. We also use the platform to conduct the analysis required to get the best out of our credit card fraud system, which is provided by a bureau. And of course, transaction monitoring for anti-money laundering/counterterrorism financing compliance uses the same platform. This has saved us an enormous amount of data integration and data management rework.
How did you address the issue of staff malpractice or internal fraud, which is an area that you can't typically get from an "out of the box" solution?
I must make it clear that we do not specifically monitor our staff's bank accounts, which is a common misperception. Our staff members are entitled to the same degree of privacy and protection that all of our customers receive. I believe we have a sophisticated approach that balances the need for privacy with the need to protect the group and our customers from internal fraud.
In the past, it felt a little like finding a needle in a haystack. We understood most of the methods of how one would commit such crimes, but it was almost impossible to detect who was perpetrating these acts without detailed data readily available. You are dealing with individuals who know and have access to the bank's systems and have an understanding of our internal control environment. This is the value of a platform approach, enabling sophisticated models and data mining to detect unusual behavior between our staff and single or multiple accounts held with the bank.
Internal fraud shares a number of behaviors with suspected money laundering and terrorist financing. So we need to look at a range of data sets that are not just related to bank accounts, an approach that requires a platform view. We also uncovered both check fraud and application fraud – you couldn't get this detection capability without a platform approach.
Did your aggressive goals for fraud detection present new challenges in terms of the data required?
We initially underestimated the complexity of the task. The data previously available was never designed to assist us with what we were now looking to achieve. The level of aggregation and the availability of data were not appropriate. To overcome this, we needed to extract some data from the source systems, particularly for the bank's demand deposit system. We had to prioritize where to start, which system to address first, and so on. This was a huge undertaking but when I look back I realize that, in building such a significant asset to be leveraged by the Commonwealth Bank, getting the data right was critical.
What results are you seeing so far?
Check-fraud detection efficiency has improved from a false-positive rate of one in 2,000 to approximately one in 100 – which is a 95 percent improvement, with a similar improvement in alert volumes. We are also detecting twice the level of check fraud in the SAS-based FCP [financial crimes platform]. We have achieved more than a 60 percent improvement in Internet banking fraud-alert volumes and are detecting a higher rate of fraud; we are consistently achieving a one to 12 false-positive ratio in our cards fraud-detection platform, which again is better than industry benchmarks.
Most importantly, on an indexed basis, our check and Internet fraud loss-to-turnover ratios are 50 percent and 80 percent better, respectively, than five years ago, and our card fraud losses are marginally better. Given the sustained growth in business volumes in those five years, the reduced loss ratios have translated to a real and substantial reduction in fraud loss expense for the group since the FCP was implemented in July 2007.
What ROI did you achieve?
We achieved very rapid benefits, within months, in terms of the efficiency of the rate of fraud detected as well as the financial benefit from retiring multiple legacy systems. As we've grown, we haven't had to add staff. The staff we have can handle the work with help from the SAS solution.
What did you learn from the experience?
We need to access highly granular data at its source, that the system must be used for transactional analysis, modeling and data discovery, and that your implementation partner is important. SAS brought a significant amount of knowledge to this solution.
Detect fraud in all bank operations more efficiently.
SAS allowed Commonwealth Bank to migrate all of its siloed information onto one platform in order to analyze transactions and customer activity, develop new models and tune existing models to improve fraud detection efficiency and create reports. The SAS and Teradata partnership helps the bank access customer information as it changes – in real-time – to quickly identify suspicious behavior and act on it as it is happening.
- Increased Internet banking fraud alerts by 60%.
- Improved check and Internet fraud loss-to-turnover ratios by 50 and 80%, respectively.
- Detected twice the level of check fraud than in its legacy system.

Cool beans I ran her big brother yesterday, I'm sure he's pretty proud of his little sister, although his owner/their litter breeder hadn't heard about it at the time. Not a bad turn from the only girl out of a single litter of three, and a fitting complement for her mother Smokey (an incredible dog) who was lost on x-mas day this year just short of 15years old.

Love? Tolerance? Acceptance?
These words are the war cry and mantra of our opposition. But who exactly is showing love and tolerance? There are many (not all) who are against Prop 8 who have forgotten to follow their own war cry, evidenced by several new incidents of hatred, vandalism, theft, and even violent intolerance against those supporting Proposition 8.
Example 1: The Prop 8 Sign Guy Gets Smashed in the Face
A Proposition 8 supporter was violently attacked for distributing lawn signs this week. The story came out in the Los Angeles Examiner yesterday, http://www.examiner.com/p-242262~Prop__8_Supporter_Violently_Attacked_for_Distributing_Lawn_Signs.html but was removed from the examiner's website that afternoon. Prop 8 people got a copy of it and put it on the protectmarriage.com website before it was erased. If this had been a gay man who'd been attacked, we'd have seen it all over the national news. Since it's our guy, they squashed the story. I searched their whole website, even the pictures were taken down from their archives. You can see a copy of the story (without pictures) here: Prop 8 Supporter Violently Attacked for Distributing Lawn Signs. The LA Times is likewise silent on this story. Not a peep from any major news outlet in California. This is an outrageous example of the hate on the other side. This man was attacked and brutalized for his beliefs, and this example doesn't stand alone.
Example 2: A Mother and her children verbally abused, Property Destroyed.
It is more than the woman who stopped her car at a busy intersection to curse at a woman and her children holding prop 8 signs at a demonstration. She was so engrossed in her ranting tirade that she missed the green light and held up traffic for another few choice words. It's more than people giving us the one finger wave, that sort of stuff just shows bad character, but that's not the extent of it. The opposition in our area went to work last night in a big way. Signs were stolen, property vandalized, and supporter's tires were slashed in my neighborhood by those against proposition 8. This is a free country. To our opposition I say, look around. Tolerance is a two way street. Fight ideas with ideas, not with violence. To the good guys, Keep fighting! It's a cause worth fighting for.
You can destroy our signs, we'll just make more! AND BIGGER ones too!
Families Working Together to Protect Families!
Support Prop 8!

Let's broaden the question while making it even more personal: why are you still collecting Hasbro Star Wars, what realistic hopes do you have for the next year or so of this line?
This can be anything, basic figures, vehicles, beasts, whatever you really think there's a chance they're going to do --- so long as it matters to you and there's a reasonable chance they might do it (so like, the Tonnikas are not really going to make this list unless you're self-delusional; no fantasy-land stuff like Death Stars and Super Star Destroyers).
I am hoping for more vehicles, vehicles have been keeping me in the game for the last few years and then they petered out this year. I don't want anything to do with the new $20 vehicle line, that looks like a crapfest. But stuff like the Naboo Fighter keeps me interested, hoping that'll actually make it to retail in one way or another. A Y-wing that looks better maybe, that '78 mold needs to be fully retired. I'm not sure how I feel about the ESB Slave I at this point but I think I can drum up excitement.
Can't think of any small vehicles at all, which is pretty bad since Hasbro keeps trying to force small vehicles into being a big thing - they just delivered the one I really wanted, the Speeder Bike. Oh, I'd want Luke and Leia Speeder Bike sets though.
I'd like a new Force FX ROTJ Luke saber, and not the kiddiefied "ultimate FX" one - chances are poor but not outlandish.
At this point, I'm take-it-or-leave-it on basic sized figures except for a few core looks like ANH Leia, Han and Luke which really are lagging behind (Luke got a figure but there are issues that hold it back a smidge), ESB/ROTJ Vader, a better Stormtrooper to match the quality of the new Clonetrooper, a better sandtrooper, the ROTJ Emperor, and I can't actually think of any second stringers or background guys that I'm holding a torch for, I'd buy Uncle Owen but I'm not dying to get one at this point because then he'll just be there and he won't be exciting because he's an old boring man action figure.
I keep trying to find passion for Clone Wars again, I really liked that line, but the life has been sucked out of it.
So hopefully Hasbro can figure out a way to attract buyers like me again before we slip through their fingers, because I can't actually put together another year of line on my own wants.

This blog has been skeptical of Chinese flash sales site VIPShop's (VIPS) long-term viability. China is a competitive place. Once entrepreneurs smell profit – VIPShop has already turned profitable – everyone is flooding in and no one is making money in the end. The group buy industry there is a good example.
It therefore becomes alarming when, starting the second half of last year, an increasing number of general e-commerce sites, including DangDang (DANG), JD.com (360buy), Yihaodian (backed by Wal-Mart), and Yixun.com (backed by Tencent), have launched their own flash sales websites. It also does not help VIPShop's competitors are mostly selling apparel too.
J.P. Morgan analyst Alex Yao seems less concerned than this blog, saying "We believe Vipshop's leading position in this niche market is unlikely to be challenged by the new entrants in the next 1-2 years."
Yao gives a couple of reasons:
Low brand overlapping. Our channel check revealed a very low brand overlapping rate (less than 10%) among the aforementioned flash sales platforms.
Brand coverage. Vipshop has the largest brand coverage.
Business model and user experience. Most of Vipshop's transactions are through principal B2C business model; Dangdang is mostly on the marketplace model; Yixun is entirely on the marketplace model; Yihaodian is on a combination of principal and marketplace model and JD.com is on marketplace plus logistic fulfilled by JD model. We believe the principal B2C model generally offers a better and more consistent user experience.
Pricing. Vipshop in generally offers higher discounts to online retailing prices (as measured by Tmall prices). Although Dangdang and Yihaodian offer a comparable number of on-sale brands, their prices are not as attractive as even Tmall's.

OXFORD – Marshall Henderson the basketball player, not Marshall Henderson the 3-point shooter, willed Ole Miss to a win when the Rebels seemed incapable of rising from a defense and rebounding funk that had cost them with losses in four of their last five games.
On Saturday night, the Rebels were out-shot by almost 15 percentage points in regulation, were out-rebounded by 15 for the game and still found a way to outscore Georgia by 10 in overtime to win 84-74 before 8,255 fans at Tad Smith Coliseum.
From a 64-56 deficit with 3 minutes, 36 seconds left, Henderson scored the last 14 Ole Miss points in regulation but not in his usual 3-point manner.
He was 1 for 7 from the 3-point arc but 4 for 6 inside it and 14 for 14 at the free throw line. He finished with 25 points then bailed on interviews, running to the media room door only to say. "All I'm sayin' is it's Saturday night. I'm out."
Henderson's missed layup with 27 seconds left could have finished the game in regulation. So could have Georgia's lob to forward Donte' Williams when the Bulldogs (12-13, 6-6 SEC) threw the ball inbounds with less than 1 second on the clock. There was contact with Reggie Buckner on the play but no foul call.
Ole Miss got off to a good start in overtime, made possible in part when Williams missed the front end of a one-and-one, and Ole Miss (19-6, 8-4 SEC) got a layup from Murphy Holloway on the other end.
Williams would later miss two free throws in a six-point game with under a minute left.
In between a three-point play by LaDarius White and White's defense on Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Georgia's best player, moved things along for the Rebels.
rebels resurrected
"As painful as that was, we would all love to roll it out there and win by 20, this was what we needed. It was as if we had flat-lined, and they brought out the paddles and boom, jolted us back to life," Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said.
Kennedy is hopeful the way the Rebels won will have lasting benefits.
"It wasn't like the last time when we beat (Mississippi) State. We were ho-hum and weren't feeling good about the way we played. Those guys had energy, and I think this is the impetus we need to finish the season strong," he said.
Georgia was just 1 for 6 from the floor in the overtime, seconds after shooting 57.1 percent in regulation. Caldwell-Pope led the way with 19 points but was 7 for 19 from the floor.
Ole Miss had a 6-5 rebounding edge in the overtime.
Caldwell-Pope hit a 3 to put Georgia up 8 before Henderson went on his free throw tear.
"Once we got the game back even, I felt like we had more swagger defensively," Kennedy said. "We were able to manufacture enough points to find a way to win."

At least 30 minutes before baking, position a rack in the bottom third of the oven and if using a pizza stone, set it on the rack. (If you don't have a stone, use a heavy-duty 13x18-inch baking sheet lightly oiled with olive oil.) Heat the oven to 550 degrees F. If using a pizza stone, dust a peel with unbleached all-purpose flour.
While the oven heats, generously flour the dough and then stretch and tuck it under itself, giving it quarter turns as you form a ball of dough with a smooth top. Let rest on the work surface, covered with plastic wrap, for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. Meanwhile, prep all the toppings as directed in the ingredient list before you begin shaping your dough.
Once the dough has rested, very lightly flour your work surface and lay your dough ball in the center of the floured area. Flour your hands and then, using your palms and fingertips, press and stretch the dough into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter and 1/8-inch thick. Or use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough into a circle; if sticky spots occur, flour your fingertips (or your rolling pin) and continue stretching the dough. Flip the dough occasionally so it doesn't stick to the work surface, and use a dough scraper to detach the dough from the work surface if it does stick. If the dough continually contracts, let it rest, covered with plastic wrap, at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before resuming the stretching process. It's OK if your dough isn't a perfect circle. Transfer the stretched dough to the prepared pizza peel or baking sheet.
Using the back of a large spoon, spread the tomato sauce onto the stretched dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border. Distribute the mozzarella and cherry tomatoes evenly, then scatter the basil and olives on top.
If using a baking sheet, put it on the rack. If using a pizza stone, shake the peel a bit to make sure the pizza isn't stuck and then slide the pizza off the peel and onto the heated stone (Aim for the back of the stone and place the end of the peel there). Bake, turning the pizza with a peel or tongs if one side browns faster than the other, until the crust is nicely browned and crisp and the cheese is bubbly, about 8 to 10 minutes on a pizza stone, or 13 to 15 minutes on a baking sheet. Transfer the pizza to a cutting board and let stand for 1 to 2 minutes before cutting it with a pizza wheel, kitchen shears, or a chef's knife.

Dr P V Appaji, director general, Pharmaceutical Export Promotion Council of India (PHARMEXCIL)
The Pharmaceutical Export Promotion Council of India (PHARMEXCIL), set up by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, has been tasked with the promotion of the Indian pharmaceuticals industry around the world. Since its inception in 2004, the organization has taken several steps to boost exports in the pharma sector.
In an effort to help Indian pharma companies explore the markets in Asia Pacific, the organization recently held a three-day India-Asia Pacific International Business Meet in Hyderabad, India, which saw a participation of over 70 delegates from 15 countries. The delegates included manufacturers, distributors, importers, FDA authorities of different countries, and journalists from the region.
In an interview with BioSpectrum, Dr P V Appaji, director general, Pharmexcil, speaks about the various ways in which the organization involves itself in promoting exports in the pharmaceuticals sector and the hurdles before the industry. Excerpts from the interview:
Tell us about the work being done by Pharmexcil?
Pharmexcil's role is to promote Indian pharma in the international market. We get a lot of encouragement, support, and financial assistance from the commerce ministry and I am very happy to share with you that we enjoy excellent rapport with drug regulators in India and in other countries where our pharma products are exported.
The basic thing that we look at is to create business. We make sure that our exporters are well-informed about the opportunities in external markets and also share cordial relations with importers in various emerging markets, such as Africa, South East Asia and Latin America.
Under the Central Government scheme Market Access Initiative (MAI), we take delegations once in a while to different countries to explore the markets there. We identify individual exporters (especially in the medium range) who have good facilities, potential to manufacture quality drugs and looking for markets abroad, but don't have exposure and are unaware of the procedure. We connect them with the right people in those markets.

H1N1 flu vaccine clinic set for eligible students and employees
Posted December 1, 2009; 11:37 a.m.
University Health Services will hold a H1N1 flu vaccine clinic on Thursday, Dec. 3, in Multipurpose Rooms A and B of the Frist Campus Center for eligible faculty, staff, students and their dependents.
The vaccine clinic will open at 10 a.m. and will remain open until all available doses have been given or until 4:45 p.m. No appointments are necessary, and vaccines will be administered on a first-come, first-served basis.
The following faculty, staff, students and dependents are eligible to receive the H1N1 flu vaccine at the Dec. 3 clinic, according to the health priority guidelines established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Dependents eligible for vaccination are spouses, domestic partners and children of students and employees.
- Faculty, staff, students and dependents 10 to 24 years old.
- Faculty, staff, students and dependents who are pregnant. Women must present documentation from a health care provider confirming their pregnancy.
- Faculty, staff, students and dependents who are caregivers of babies less than 6 months old. Caregivers must present the baby's birth certificate as confirmation.
- Faculty, staff, students and dependents 25 to 64 years old with pre-existing medical conditions that may put them at higher risk for flu complications. High-risk medical conditions include asthma, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease and compromised immune systems. In order to be vaccinated, individuals must present documentation of their pre-existing medical condition in the form of a prescription or a note signed by their health care provider. Students who have already identified themselves to UHS as high risk do not need to provide additional documentation.
In order to be vaccinated, individuals must bring their University ID card and their insurance card to the clinic, as well as cash or a check to cover the administrative fee for individuals who are not covered by a University insurance plan.
The federal government is providing doses of the H1N1 vaccine free of cost; however, there are administrative costs associated with distributing the vaccine. Individuals who have the following health insurance plans are covered for the vaccine and may receive the H1N1 vaccine at no cost: the University's Student Health Plan, Aetna insurance plans and United Healthcare insurance plans.
Individuals who are not covered by one of these insurance plans may be charged a $15 fee to cover the administrative costs of distributing the vaccine, depending on their insurance. Students and employees may submit a receipt to private insurance companies for reimbursement, and financial assistance is available for students who are unable to pay the fee.
More information about H1N1 vaccines is available on the University's H1N1 webpage.
A small quantity of vaccine doses first became available to the University in late October, and UHS held H1N1 vaccine clinics on Nov. 4, 10, 16 and 24 for eligible students, employees and dependents according to the CDC's health priority guidelines. Following the Dec. 3 clinic, the University must await more information from the state about when further vaccine shipments may be distributed in order to determine when additional vaccine clinics may be scheduled.
The state is overseeing distribution of H1N1 vaccines to providers in the state. Because limited doses of the H1N1 vaccine will be distributed in staggered shipments, most providers, including the University, are not able to provide vaccinations to all eligible groups during the same time period. Also, given the limited quantities, the University is not able to offer the H1N1 vaccine to all members of the community at this time.
In order to be eligible to receive the vaccine from the state, providers had to agree to distribute vaccinations according to the CDC prioritization guidelines.

It's been more than a week since the June 8 primary election, which saw Republican PAUL LEPAGE (Waterville mayor and Marden's exec) beat a large field of better-financed competitors, and LIBBY MITCHELL (state senate president) pull out ahead of the Democratic pack, poised to become Maine's first-ever female governor. The two will face off against independents ELIOT CUTLER, SHAWN MOODY, and KEVIN SCOTT in November, all hoping to win the keys to the Blaine House.
Relatively high turnout (particularly on the Republican side) was credited to the multitude of choices and public awareness around the TAX-REFORM BALLOT QUESTION, which passed to repeal a state bill that would have cut the state income tax and expanded or increased the sales tax and meals and lodging tax.
While it's true that "people don't really start thinking about this stuff until September," as Maine League of Young Voters state director Will Everitt points out about the gap between the primary and general election, there are a few questions to think about as the statewide race takes shape:
• WILL REPUBLICANS UNITE BEHIND LEPAGE? In the days after the primary, there was considerably more strife on the right than on the left, as supporters of Les Otten, Steve Abbott, and other Republican losers surveyed their options. Some threatened to throw their support behind one of the independent candidates. Or, as Andrew Ian Dodge, state coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots, puts it: "People may vote LePage in November but they ain't going to do nothing to help" between now and then. This could hurt — LePage's success depends on grassroots momentum and on keeping conservative support while hoping that Cutler and Mitchell split the center-left voters.
• Everitt wonders why the Democratic candidates ran the primary like it was a general election. "It seemed to me that all four of the Democrats were fighting over the middle," he says. "That just didn't INSPIRE THE PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY." If LePage has garnered the enthusiasm of the state's far-right voters, do Maine's die-hard lefties feel similarly inspired by Mitchell? Pundits have said the two party candidates are polarizing, and some Republicans have called Mitchell "Maine's Nancy Pelosi," but liberals don't necessarily agree with that characterization. "She's a moderate Democrat who has tended to be pretty solid on union and working-class Democrat issues," Everitt says.
• And certainly she'll want to perpetuate that image, as she feels the SPOILER SQUEEZE FROM CUTLER, a lawyer and ex-White House official (under Jimmy Carter). Here's what Reid Scher, chair of the Cumberland County Democrats, wrote on his group's Web site about Cutler the day after the election: "There's also a possibly greater threat to Libby, the independent candidate Eliot Cutler. We saw Peter Mills begin the narrative last night that many will hope to carry into November, and that is that Libby is as extreme on the left as LePage is on the right, leaving only the independent choice in the middle. We need to be very clear and work hard to dispel the notion that there's anything radical about Libby Mitchell."
There were few surprises in the local races last week. Democrat JILL BARKLEY beat Mohammed Dini in District 119; now, it's her race to lose against Kris Eckhardt, a supposed "place-holder" Green Party candidate, and Ben Chipman, a longtime Green activist who will run as an independent. Green ANNA TREVORROW beat Charles Bragdon in District 120 and will now attempt to unseat Democratic incumbent Diane Russell; there's Green place-holder discord in that district as well, with Bragdon claiming the Green party asked him to run and then "railroaded me into running against" Trevorrow. KEN CAPRON beat Badr Sharif in District 116.
While the theme of the day might have been conservative surprises, the PASSAGE OF FOUR BONDS swung the other way entirely. Each of the bond questions contained money for sustainable development, transportation, or energy programs, including rail development and deep-water offshore wind-energy research.

A quick review for a small, fun droid.
The Clone Wars line is nice, because I don't feel obligated to own every single figure that comes out, but each time that I do get something (with only one flop so far), I've enjoyed it.
R3-S6 is no exception.
He's a nice tight little figure with some fun gimmicks that don't interfere with the overall look of the toy.
The only problem that I can point out, is that for my particular R3 figure, there's a lot of glue slopped around the wires on his "feet." So he's not exactly perfect, but close enough to make me happy.
I'd be even more happy if these toys weren't retailing for around $8 right now. Ouch! What I've said before about the higher prices causing me to think twice (or maybe three times) about impulse buys, really applies to this sort of thing. Here's a simple formula that Hasbro can use: $8 = not likely; $7 = maybe; $6 = yes, if it's a good toy; $5 and below = probably, even if it's a lame-ish figure.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
Murphy Holloway and his Ole Miss teammates have won four-straight SEC games to open league play, status last achieved by the program 76 years ago.
As the conference season enters its third week the Rebels (15-2, 4-0 SEC) want to remain focused, keep streaking, and win their way into the NCAA tournament in March.
A 76-64 win over Arkansas before a second-straight sellout crowd at home Saturday was the Rebels' seventh-straight win .
"We've waited so long just to be relevant. We still have to be hungry. Instead of trying to be … we've just got to stay hungry," Holloway said.
Mississippi State (7-9, 2-2 SEC) lost 72-57 at Tennessee on Saturday and has dropped its last two after a 2-0 SEC start.
Against the Vols, State missed a key player, Jalen Steele, for several minutes with cramps.
"We've got to figure out what's going on and get those cramps taken care of, because he's playing well for us. He's obviously our best player as far as coming back with some experience and being able to shoot the basketball," MSU coach Rick Ray said.
The Bulldogs remain on the SEC road, traveling to face Arkansas in Fayetteville on Wednesday night at 8 in a CSS television game.
Ole Miss has more rest at the front end of the week but a quick turnaround. The Rebels play at home against Tennessee on Thursday night at 6 on ESPN2 before traveling for an 8 p.m., tip at Auburn on Saturday in a Fox Sports Net TV game.
MSU is also at home Saturday, hosting No. 10 Florida at 8 p.m.
strength of schedule
Ole Miss and Florida are the only teams without a loss in league play. They meet Feb. 2 at Florida.
Ole Miss RPI jumped to 33 according to WarrenNolan.com. Ratings Percentage Index considers wins, losses, strength of schedule and opponent success in determining a number that is valued by the NCAA tournament passing out at-large bids.
Ole Miss rallied from 13 points back to force overtime to win 89-79 at Vanderbilt last Tuesday. On Saturday, the Rebels lost a 13-point lead in the second half but regrouped and held on to win.
"As as group, I feel like we're mentally tough. The game got close, but we didn't get scared," Holloway said. "We pushed it back out and kept playing."
Holloway says Ole Miss is motivated by its two losses, at Middle Tennessee State and against Indiana State on a neutral floor. Both are top 50 RPI teams.
"Those two losses helped us find ourselves as a team," he said.

'Trapped in War on Terror' is topic, Feb. 19
Posted February 15, 2007; 03:51 p.m.
"Trapped in the War on Terror" is the title of an address set for 4:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 19, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Ian Lustick, a professor of political science and the Bess W. Heyman Chair at the University of Pennsylvania, will discuss his 2006 book by the same title.
In the book, Lustick questions the rationale for the war and maintains that it is disconnected from the real but remote threat terrorism poses. He explains how the generalized War on Terror began as part of the justification for invading Iraq, but then took on a life of its own.
In 1979-80 Lustick worked as a Middle East analyst in the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research. Since then he has been consulted on Middle East affairs, foreign policy and intelligence techniques by every administration, including projects, lectures and consultancies for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Homeland Security, National Security Agency and National Security Council.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination.

I was just on your Tumblr account. There's a lot of funny stuff on there.
Oh, thank you. That's the beauty of tumblr, I don't have to do a lot of original content. I had blogspot for awhile and thought it so old school. It's very Web 1.0. You just put it out there and go READ ME, LISTEN TO ME. Tumblr's much more interactive, I like that.
But there's a blurry line between porn and whatever else you can find on there.
Oh yeah. A friend of mine's a graffiti artist. I like seeing the stuff that he's doing on his account — tags and stuff like that — but then there'll be just three posts in a row that are just porn. (laughs) I don't understand it! I can't be so free about that. It's like saying to the world Hey, this gave me a boner! I'm like, no, you're supposed to be secretive about that! It's very bizarre.
Is the stuff you're doing down in Rhode Island different from the material you're performing at the Comedy Connection?
No, I think it'll be pretty similar. I try to steer clear of local references, especially for an album. It'd be great to say something like oh, that's crazy, that's like being in Biddeford! and have the whole room laugh because I made fun of Biddeford, but that doesn't mean anything to anyone else down here.
Do you ever get lumped into "Maine humor"?
Not too bad. I think it's a cultural thing. People don't really apply a Maine comedy thing outside of Maine too much. I think if you're in Boston or New Hampshire people understand what that is, but more times than not it's more of just an oh, good for you, you made it out! Like I now have a helmet or something. I'm like no, there's people! There's things! It's a normal state! I like it. I miss Maine.
And you grew up here?
I grew up in Kittery but I was in Portland all the time. I started doing comedy when I was in college in Bangor, so I started driving down to the Portland Comedy Connection and had different little one-nighters around Portland. Binga's Wingas, Empire. Liquid Blue was another club that was doing comedy.
That place isn't around anymore.
Yeah, that was a weird place. It was very strange doing comedy there, my head poking through one of the drop ceiling tiles, being like oh we need to hurry up so this can turn into an awkward sad dance club? Alright!

This morning we ran a delayed triple. M1-150 yds, M2-160 yds (angled back), M3-80 yds, B1-160 yds, B2-200 yds. Order was M1, M3, M2, B1, B2. B1 is on top of the levee (about 3-4 ft. high). B2 is about 30-40 yds behind the levee.
Wind was at my back but slightly quartering to my right. There is a pretty severe drop off about halfway to M1 and M2. Not sure if dog could actually see the duck hit the ground. I did not use any primers in deference to the dry conditions (snow expected Sun).
On the go bird when I put my hand down I accidently said "Shadow" and he didn't flinch. I was proud of him.
I spent too much time trying to fine tune his line on B1 and I got some avoidance. His first look out was the best one and I should have sent him.
I got a cast refusal on B2 and then used voice to try and get him over the levee. But he stopped on top of the levee like where he found B1. I guess that was expecting too much.
He did very good on ignoring the diversion.
Not every day has to be perfect for the dog and handler to learn something.
As always constructive comments are welcome.

A full year before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, then-British Prime Minister Tony Blair told his chief of staff the West should be "gung-ho" on toppling Saddam Hussein, a panel looking into the conflict disclosed Friday.
Blair returned to testify for a second time before a five-member panel scrutinizing Britain's role in the unpopular war having been recalled after witnesses raised doubts about sections of his testimony at an initial appearance a year ago.
The timing of the decision for military action is an important issue for opponents of the war, who accuse Blair and Bush of being set on invasion regardless of its legality or whether it had backing from the United Nations
Blair's administration has been repeatedly criticized for allegedly overstating the case for war and misrepresenting intelligence to increase public support for the conflict.
Another released document, a note prepared in December 2001 by a second senior adviser, warned Blair that the legal case for military action would be "threadbare." Other documents showed that as late as January 2003, officials were still scrambling for legal grounds to justify the war.
In his testimony, Blair repeated his view that the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States meant that nations needed to deal with not just contain potential aggressors.

| Worst: Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino (580 calories, 21 grams of fat, 93 grams of sugar)
Better: Iced Skinny Mocha (100 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 8 grams of sugar)
Frappuccinos are cold and creamy, but the fat from the cream base and topping of whipped cream will spin your diet a complete 180 and send you in the wrong direction. The Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino is drenched with high-sugar syrups, and a crunchy sugar topping, making the calorie count soar. Instead, order the Iced Skinny Mocha. "Skinny" options at Starbucks make it easy to enjoy your coffee without the extra fat, because they automatically include sugar-free syrups and nonfat milk, without you having to specify. And of course, it is still delicious, iced Starbucks coffee with a hint of chocolaty mocha flavor.

| Worst: Frozen Caramel Coffee Coolatta (550 calories, 11 grams of fat, 107 grams of sugar)
Better: Iced Caramel Latte Light (120 calories, 0 grams of fat, 15 grams of sugar)
Dunkin Donuts is great for a grab-and-go experience in the summer when you need a cold coffee drink, but a Coffee Coolatta is not the healthiest option. Made with sugary caramel syrup, cream, and topped with whipped cream, it is both high in calories and a danger to your summer body. This Caramel Coffee Coolatta contains 107 grams of sugar, which is half a cup of sugar — so imagine drinking straight sugar before you order! Ditch the Coolatta and instead have an Iced Caramel Latte Light, which is on the DD Smart menu. The nonfat milk and low-calorie caramel will still satisfy your sweet tooth without adding extra calories.

| Worst: McCafé Frappé Chocolate Chip (630 calories, 26 grams of fat, 81 grams of sugar)
Better: Iced Coffee with Sugar-Free French Vanilla Syrup (120 calories, 7 grams of fat, 2 grams of sugar)
Guess which has more calories, a Big Mac or a McCafé Frappé Chocolate Chip? If you guessed the Big Mac, you're wrong. In fact, the Frappé has 50 more calories than a Big Mac. Stay away from this creamy drink this summer, and stick with an Iced Coffee with Sugar-Free French Vanilla Syrup.

| Worst: BK Caramel Frappé (510 calories, 22 grams of fat, 49 grams of sugar)
Better: Smooth Roast Vanilla Iced Coffee (180 calories, 7 grams of fat, 23 grams of sugar)
Burger King has many high-fat and high-sugar options, but its coffee drinks probably aren't the first things that come to mind. But at 510 calories with a whopping (no pun intended) 22 grams of fat, and 49 grams of sugar, the Frappé is what should be known as a BK Whopper. A safer, yet still cold and delicious, option at Burger King is the new Smooth Roast Vanilla Iced Coffee.

Better: Cold Brewed Vanilla Latte (150 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, 26 grams of sugar)
Seattle's Best just got better because they have an 110-calorie alternative to their Chocolate Coffee Crunch JavaKula — which is Seattle's worst. If you want to enjoy a cold brewed coffee without all that other sugar and fat involved in a crunchy coffee drink, choose the cold brewed vanilla latte — it's a lot of sugar, but quite a reduction in calories and fat.

| Cold Stone Creamery
Worst: Lotta Caramel Latte (1,100 calories, 58 grams of fat, 119 grams of sugar)
Cold Stone Creamery is known for many cold treats, and they make sure to offer a coffee drink, too! But this summer, we recommend you skip Cold Stone as your caffeine chill destination. With 1,100 calories and almost a full day's serving of fat, the Lotta Caramel Latte does a whole lotta damage to beach-ready bodies this summer.
Worst: Turtle Cappuccino Blast (780 calories, 21 grams of fat, 107 grams of sugar)
Made with ice cream and sugary syrups, this coffee-flavored drink is definitely not going to be healthy. A "blast" of caffeine might hit you, but you can't ignore the unhealthy aspect of this Baskin-Robbins treat.
Worst: Coffee Fribble Shake (780 calories, 31 grams of fat, 88 grams of sugar)
"Friendly's, where ice cream makes the meal." In this case, ice cream makes the drink. You may believe you are drinking a cool, coffee treat but in fact it's a milkshake made with ice cream. If you can't afford to add 780 calories to your beverage account, skip Friendly's when searching for a cold coffee beverage.

Another lunatic is considering running for President
Rep. Michele Bachman: The next White House hopeful? (AP Photo/Jim Mone)
Add U.S. Rep.Michele Bachmann to the list of potential Republican presidential hopefuls, as the tea party favorite plans a trip later this month to the early caucusstate of Iowa and creates possible complications for fellow Minnesotan and maybe-candidateTim Pawlenty.
Nothings off the table for her,Andy Parrish, Bachmanns chief of staff, said Wednesday. Shes looking forward to traveling to Iowa for the fundraiser, and you know, shes looking forward over the next year to traveling and sharing the story of why we cant re-electBarack Obama as president.
Parrish wouldnt say when Bachmann would decide. But he said her own decision-making process wont be influenced by those of either Pawlenty or former AlaskaGov. Sarah Palin, whom Bachmann has previously called a good 2012 prospect.
Maybe the two loonies can be on the same ticket.

Alternate name: Silver Salmon
Family: Salmonidae, Trouts view all from this family
Description The Coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, (from the Russian кижуч kizhuch) is a species of anadromous fish in the salmon family. Coho salmon are also known as silver salmon or "silvers". It is the state animal of Chiba, Japan.
During their ocean phase, Coho have silver sides and dark blue backs. During their spawning phase, the jaws and teeth of the coho become hooked. They develop bright red sides, bluish green heads and backs, dark bellies and dark spots on their backs after they go in to fresh water. Sexually maturing coho develop a light pink or rose shading along the belly and the males may show a slight arching of the back. Mature adults have a pronounced red skin color with darker backs and average 28 inches (71 cm) and 7 to 11 pounds (3.2 to 5.0 kg) occasionally reaching 36 pounds (16 kg). Mature females may be darker than males, with both showing a pronounced hook on the nose.
Dimensions Up to 3'3" (99 cm).
Endangered Status The Coho Salmon is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. Certain naturally spawned populations in California and Oregon are classified as threatened. This salmon's numbers in Oregon dropped from 1.4 million in 1900 to 20,000 less than 100 years later. In Washington the Coho is virtually extinct, and in California the population has dropped from half a million in the 1940s to a few thousand today. Many factors have exterminated the Coho Salmon from its historic range, including alterations to its habitat caused by livestock grazing, mining, pollution, water-diversion, and urban development. The biggest impact has been dealt by the logging industry. Cutting of trees exposes the salmon's spawning streams to sunlight, which heats the water to temperatures that are lethal to these fish. Additionally, erosion from logging activies causes the steams to silt up and become too muddy for the fish and their eggs to survive in. The logging industry opposes measures that would help conserve salmon habitats and restore populations.
Habitat Rivers & streams, Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes, Ocean or bay shallows, Open ocean.
Range Rocky Mountains, California, Northwest, Western Canada, Alaska.

Jenelle Evans' Relationship History — From Andrew To Courtland
The troubled 'Teen Mom 2' star insists she has found 'The One' in fiance Courtland Rogers — but she has kissed a lot of frogs to find her so-called prince. Check out Jenelle's fast-moving relationship history!
Jenelle Evans never seems to stay single for very long. From Jace's baby daddy Andrew Lewis — her long-distance boyfriend we met on 16 & Pregnant — to her current fiance Courtland Rogers, Jenelle's love life makes for prime time reality TV drama.
Jenelle started dating Andrew in high school, and soon became pregnant with her baby boy Jace. When they were both on 16 & Pregnant, Jenelle insisted they would soon get jobs and move in together — but by the time the spin-off show Teen Mom 2 aired, Andrew was long out of the picture.
She started dating her infamous ex-boyfriend Kieffer Delp during the first season of Teen Mom 2, and their on-again, off-again relationship led to several arrests, lots of fights and even them running away together with her mom Barbara Evans' credit card.
Jenelle then thought the met "the one" in ex-fiance Gary Head in the spring of 2012, but after a short-lived engagement — which ended with both of them in jail — the tumultuous relationship was over for good.
On Nov. 19, Jenelle announced her engagement to Courtland Rogers, whom she had been dating for two months. She insists she's "never been happier," and that she has finally found her soulmate. We hope she's right!
What do YOU think of Jenelle's relationship history HollyMoms? Has she finally found "The One?"

Bring back memories of grandma's hearty meals with this cheesy mashed potato casserole. You'll love the make-ahead tip.
To make ahead of time, cover unbaked mashed potato mixture tightly with foil and refrigerate no longer than 24 hours. Uncover and bake 40 to 50 minutes.
This recipe is great to double for those hearty appetites! Cook the potatoes in Dutch oven. Use 3-quart casserole and bake uncovered 35 to 40 minutes. If you make it ahead and refrigerate, bake 40 to 50 minutes.
