India's Rejection Of Drug Patent Could Reverberate
One thing is clear, though: Emerging markets are not the gold mine that optimistic pharmaceutical executives have been making them out to be.
India's move casts significant doubt on the companies' predictions that within a few years, emerging markets will generate one-quarter or even one-third of their global revenue. They've been counting on governments and a rising middle class in emerging markets to spend more on their brand-name medicines rather than the locally made drugs that may be counterfeit.
"Less patent protection in huge, developing markets means less revenue, and growth stories that are going to look like fantasies," Gordon said.
That's a big problem for drugmakers that already squeezed on all sides.
Government and private health plans in industrialized countries, particularly in deficit-laden Europe, have been pushing for lower drug prices and occasionally even refusing to cover very-expensive drugs. Consumer health spending has been constrained by severe recessions across the globe. Research is ever more expensive. And virtually every drugmaker has been hurt in the last few years by expirations of patents for popular drugs that once made billions every year. Countries such as Indonesia and Brazil for several years have been licensing local pharmaceutical companies to make cheap generic versions of medicines, usually drugs for HIV, the deadly virus that causes AIDS. But recently, India has overturned patents for several cancer drugs, including Bayer AG's Nexavar, AstraZeneca PLC's Iressa, Pfizer Inc.'s Sutent and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co's Sprycel, according to Mark Grayson, spokesman for the big drugmakers' trade group, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. "Certainly companies will take this into account in deciding ... whether India's a good market," he said. Grayson noted India has granted patents for very few medicines. He and the trade group's members say that without patents to protect sales of their drugs, drug companies won't have the billions they need to develop innovative new drugs.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Wednesday, 24 April, 2013, 4:05am 1 commentStudents at Chinese University have signed a petition against the plan to reclaim land from Tolo Harbour near their campus. The students' union, which has so far gathered 3,500 signatures, said "we feel that reclamation at Ma Liu Shui would ruin the scenery of Tolo Harbour and our campus, which blends in so well with nature".
30 Mar 2013 - 4:08amAs the Year of the Snake slithers in, a rare collection of snake antiques have been put on display at Chinese University's Art Museum.
8 Feb 2013 - 4:39amA trial in local hospitals has proved that a new treatment can eliminate swelling in the wall of the brain's blood vessels and prevent their rupture.
Led by Chinese University, it was the first clinical study in Asia to test the insertion of a metal woven tube that blocks blood from flowing into the bulge - known as a cerebral aneurysm - causing it to shrink.
8 Jan 2013 - 6:04amThe Baptist University-initiated publication whose findings provoked fierce criticism of Chinese University and led to calls for more mainland interference in local politics was sponsored by a Beijing-loyalist businessman, it was claimed yesterday.
23 Nov 2012 - 2:48am 1 commentChinese University received an unexpected apology yesterday from academics who were responsible for a contentious report on Hong Kong which called for the city's top civil servants to be appointed by Beijing.
The report claimed that Chinese University's liberal studies course was being "influenced" by an unnamed foundation in the United States.
21 Nov 2012 - 3:47amChinese University has dismissed as "irresponsible and fictitious" an allegation that it allowed a US foundation to influence a liberal studies curriculum.
2 Nov 2012 - 3:13amThe planned Shenzhen branch of the Chinese University of Hong Kong will enjoy academic freedom, according to vice chancellor Joseph Sung Jao-yiu.
Speaking on the sidelines of a campus groundbreaking ceremony yesterday, Sung said the new university's goal was to bring innovation and new interdisciplinary teaching and research to the Pearl River Delta.
12 Oct 2012 - 3:42amAbout 8,000 students and teachers took part in a citywide class boycott yesterday to demand the scrapping of the national education curriculum.
Participants attributed the higher-than-expected turnout to Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying's weak response to the issue.
8 Mar 2013 - 3:40pmThe public is being given a say on the future use of the historic King Ying Lei mansion, rescued from demolition after a public outcry five years ago.
Two rival proposals for the Stubbs Road mansion, restored after being defaced by a previous owner, went on show in a roadshow yesterday.
8 Sep 2012 - 2:49amHong Kong's homes were less affordable last year than at any time since an annual study began, with the average family having to spend more than 11 times their annual income to get on the housing ladder.
24 Jul 2012 - 12:00amChinese medicine can be as effective in treating obesity as Western methods and with fewer side effects, a university study commissioned by the Hospital Authority shows.
Chinese University reviewed almost 100 previous studies on Chinese weight-loss treatments with the aim of providing a scientific basis for the authority's clinics to develop therapy in the field.
10 Jul 2012 - 12:00amLeung Chun-ying will replace Donald Tsang Yam-kuen on Sunday amid falling support for both men and the most distrust in the government since the handover, a new poll shows.
About 39 per cent of the 861 respondents to the Chinese University survey said they supported Leung becoming chief executive, down eight points since a similar poll last month.
29 Jun 2012 - 12:00amToday's SCMP Debate is the second in a weekly series as part of our build-up to the 15th anniversary, on July 1, of the establishment of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong. In our second instalment, we ask six long-time residents how they view Hong Kong as a place to live and work compared with 15 years ago.
Eric Bohm
18 Jun 2012 - 12:00amWhen someone says he has no ulterior motive, you can be sure that's exactly what he has. So when Joseph Yam Chi-kwong wrote that he was 'allergic' to politics, in his bombshell paper raising the possibility of ditching the Hong Kong-US dollar peg, you could spot the disingenuous statement a mile away.

So, i am planning to start some hunting next year, and i want get myself a rifle. Ive done some research online, and two rifles seem to pop up the most.
The Remington Model 700, and the Savage 111. It seems that people online are about 50/50, but most admit that both rifles are good buys.
I'm looking mostly for something that's accurate right out of the box, without much tinkering, and is not rocket science to strip and clean.
I appreciate any opinions you guys have to offer.

Vanessa Bruno Spring 2013
Sometimes a hard-working girl just needs to get on a plane and spend a few days underneath a palm tree in Mustique, and from the looks of things that's exactly the girl Vanessa Bruno was thinking of when she designed her Spring 2013 collection. The suiting was professional and appropriately androgynous, but what got tongues wagging were the day dresses. A restrained palette of rose, beige, and cream dominated in these pieces, and a few were accented with silvery sequins or ostrich feathers that exaggerated movement. But the cuts were body conscious in a languid way — almost as languid as a well-deserved vacation.

Credit Acceptance Announces Tender Offer
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Feb. 9, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Credit Acceptance Corporation (Nasdaq:CACC) (referred to as the "Company", "we", "our", or "us") announced today that we have commenced a tender offer to purchase up to 1,904,761 shares of our outstanding common stock at a price of $65.625 per share.
We anticipate that we will obtain all of the funds necessary to purchase shares tendered in the tender offer, and to pay related fees and expenses, through a combination of the proceeds of a new debt financing (the "Debt Financing") and by borrowing under our $170.0 million revolving secured line of credit facility. The tender offer is subject to the consummation by us of the Debt Financing on terms satisfactory to us.
The primary purpose of this proposed transaction is to distribute excess capital to shareholders. We believe distributing capital to shareholders is appropriate at this time for the following reasons:
- Since the beginning of 2009, we have generated approximately $315.0 million in profits.
- In 2010, the Company completed several longer-term debt financings which have significantly reduced the probability that the Company would need to curtail its loan originations if debt markets become inaccessible.
- As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately $340.0 million in unused and available capacity on our revolving lines of credit. Upon completion of the tender offer and the related Debt Financing, we believe we will have sufficient capital to fund new loan originations.

William Cullen Bryant
A Summer Ramble
The quiet August noon has come,
A slumberous silence fills the sky,
The fields are still, the woods are dumb,
In glassy sleep the waters lie.
And mark yon soft white clouds that rest
Above our vale, a moveless throng;
The cattle on the mountain's breast
Enjoy the grateful shadow long.
Oh, how unlike those merry hours
In early June when Earth laughs out,
When the fresh winds make love to flowers,
And woodlands sing and waters shout.
When in the grass sweet voices talk,
And strains of tiny music swell
From every moss-cup of the rock,
From every nameless blossom's bell.
But now a joy too deep for sound,
A peace no other season knows,
Hushes the heavens and wraps the ground,
The blessing of supreme repose.
Away! I will not be, to-day,
The only slave of toil and care.
Away from desk and dust! away!
I'll be as idle as the air.
Beneath the open sky abroad,
Among the plants and breathing things,
The sinless, peaceful works of God,
I'll share the calm the season brings.
Come, thou, in whose soft eyes I see
The gentle meanings of thy heart,
One day amid the woods with me,
From men and all their cares apart.
And where, upon the meadow's breast,
The shadow of the thicket lies,
The blue wild flowers thou gatherest
Shall glow yet deeper near thine eyes.
Come, and when mid the calm profound,
I turn, those gentle eyes to seek,
They, like the lovely landscape round,
Of innocence and peace shall speak.
Rest here, beneath the unmoving shade,
And on the silent valleys gaze,
Winding and widening, till they fade
In yon soft ring of summer haze.
The village trees their summits rear
Still as its spire, and yonder flock
At rest in those calm fields appear
As chiselled from the lifeless rock.
One tranquil mount the scene o'erlooks--
There the hushed winds their sabbath keep
While a near hum from bees and brooks
Comes faintly like the breath of sleep.
Well may the gazer deem that when,
Worn with the struggle and the strife,
And heart-sick at the wrongs of men,
The good forsakes the scene of life;
Like this deep quiet that, awhile,
Lingers the lovely landscape o'er,
Shall be the peace whose holy smile
Welcomes him to a happier shore.

Remember Ray, the GOP is the "family values" party! hahahahahahahahahahaha
A couple of years ago I began telling everyone I know to begin arming themselves. The possibility of armed insurection is becoming more likely every day. But we will not be the ones revolting. The fact is that we will be defending ourselves and our nation from their insurection. Their attempt to overthrow our government and establish a dictatorship.
Most people in this country know next to nothing about guns. Therefore, I tell them to go to the pawn shops and get a 12 or 16 ga. pump, a 9mm automatic hand gun or any revolver greater than .38 cal. Then begin searching for a AK47. That is the simplest, most reliable, the easiest to maintain, use, and understand assault rifle in the world. That's why there are so many of them in all those bloody areas we see on the news. Stock up on ammo. Not a few boxes – cases of it. Without ammo, a rifle is just a club. Don't worry about explosives and the heavy stuff. Leave that to us ex-military guys.
Don't pay any attention to all these NRA gun experts that preach the sophisticated crap. KISS. If and when the shit hits the fan there will be pleanty of guys like myself around that can convert the semi-automatics to full auto. However, most people would be better off without it. The main thing they need to do is learn how to take the weapons apart, clean them, and put them back together quickly. The second main thing is to create a place to hide them. I mean really hide them from a search.
Now, I suppose I will be labeled a nutcase but freedom isn't free. If you want it, you better be prepared to fight for it. Being prepared doesn't make you a lunitic. Let's hope we don't have to. But we have to be ready to or, when the time comes, we will lose it. How will you feel if the time comes and you aren't ready? I am.
The United States Military will not wage war on it's own citizens. They would respond to an order to establish Marshal order In the event of a terrorist attack in some area. But they will not obey an order to establish Marshal Law across the entire country just because the president orders it due to extreme conditions overseas. In the first place, Marshal Law is not a defense to any type of attack from outside the country. It can only be justified by an insurection or attack from inside the country. Don't believe that the US Army and the Joint Chiefs would blindly obey an order to commit an act of aggression against their own people. And if the president were to use private contractors to do that, he would be facing the might of the United States armed forces who are committed to DEFEND the nation from all enemies, foreign or domestic. So, the fear we keep hearing expressed that Bush is going to declare Marshall Law and take over the country is remote at best. There would have to be an extraodinary set of occurances and conditions to make that possible. Besides, it isn't necessary. They are well on their way to creating a dictatorship without the use of force.
The National Guard, which use to be called State Guard (for those who have enough years) should revert back to the States from which they came. The federal Government has no business federalizing them when no war has been declared. And the war on terror is NOT a declared war! We are NOT at war with Iraq anymore than we were at war with Vietnam or Korea. We are being screwed into sending the Guard and Reserve Units to fight and die for the ambitions of a cowardly few, who are pulling every trick in the book to avoid calling for a draft, because it would be "politically unpopular".
Those Guard Units are there for the governors of each state in case they need them, not to be used as front line troops in an undeclared war.
Doubletom – I absolutely agree with that. Bush has declared from the very beginning there would be no draft. The neocons learned from Vietnam that the draft is what ended that war. When they began drafting middle and upper middle class sons for that fiasco is when the moms and dads turned against the "war." Especially after a few of their kids were shot on a university campus. As long as it is only volunteers and "poor" people going to fight, no one gives a damn.
The American people are so self absorbed with their entertainment and creature comforts that the don't pay attention to what these coniving bastards in Washington do to prepare for something like this. The didn't take notice back in Reagans days when they removed the restrictions on media ownership. So, now all the information is controlled by 7 of the neocon corporations. One little unnoticed bill took the National Guard away from the states. The list goes on and it is long. Now, they look up and wonder what the hell happened. Of course, they are getting what they deserve and the real disaster is that none of it will be reversed regardless of which of these two parties is in power. You don't hear any democrats complaining about the two examples above do you? Any time legislation is instituted that takes something away, it is never given back unless it is challenged in court and decided unconstitutional by the supreme court. But that court is now stacked with those who believe in elitist rule. (I can't think of the word) So, we are screwed for the next 20 years.
At some point the military will be so broken and used up that the Boy President will no longer be able to wage further war.
Lets see, the article says " this is unacceptable"……well surprise, surprise and shut my mouth. What the hell is (ACCEPTABLE) these days. If I found something "acceptable" (today or tomorrow or even the next day) in this F##K-UP world I would probably trip over it or die of shock. Why say anymore.
When the corruption is at the top, it filters on down through the lower levels as the example is set to follow.
That is why the leader has to be outstanding and set the model of character to be followed.
Nuff said
We are so SCREWED if we get hit again at home. The Reserves and National Guard have been stripped to the bone as far as equipment also manpower is a serious issue in the Army-Guard/Reserve as well!!!!!!!
Why isn't U.S. Unprepared for Nuclear Terror Attack,/i> getting more "airplay" today?
Don't worry folks; there'll be tens of thousands of Blackwater USA mercenaries to take their place, at a much higher cost.
Of course cost doesn't mean anything to neocons, unless it's someone OUTSIDE of their circle making the profits.
With Blackwater USA, you might get a whole range of Hessians, including some criminals from South Africa, and if we're "lucky", some illegal aliens.
Since our regular troops and National Guard will all be fighting foreign wars, and the Posse Comitatus Act is now extinct, they should have a "heyday" of abusing and shooting civilians, without repercussions, and since they're own families are probably not affected, no feeling of national unity when dragging civilians off to the detention camps.
What a lovely scene!
R.I.P. – Posse Comitatus Act, 1878-2006
Hey JimZ…"some illegal aliens" you said..is that like from outerspace or something. If so, mabe their the kind of "aliens" that eat (assholes, morons, and idiots) of the human variety, that would save the world and they (the aliens) would have enough nutrition for at least a thousands years just in Wash DC alone.
FLASH! The ONLY reason that the Guard [en masse] is [supposedly] underfunded is because they [collectively] have deliberately been kept that way by this administration for over 6 years. Reason? The Guard will not be needed, nor wanted, by the administration whenever Martial Law comes to be enacted.
The Guard [en masse] represents a too-friendly force that could not be relied upon to enforce all that Martial Law will come to entail – search and seizure of homes, personal property and even civilians.
Secondly, as I have come to understand it, there is already an appreciable (and foreboding) presence of 'foreign forces' that are already staged on our soil and those forces will be activated under the guise of being part of a "UN assistance" front.
The Guard's members are all AMERICAN men and women and the administration/the-real-power-brokers know that those fine young people will not be reliable 'in the patroling of cities and towns across the nation.'
Don't expect Bush or any Congressman or Senator to start talking about finding funding to bring the Guard up to specs. In fact, it will be the very absence of such calls for funding and upgrades that will confirm what I've said herein.
We are about to enter a terrible time. May God Almighty have mercy on us all!
Having our guard units deployed in foriegn combat for years now, is terribly wrong. These men and women have or had lives as civilians and part time military duty. I would say it will probably destroy 20% of the marriages if not more and will for sure affect family unity. Those who signed up for regular duty knew what they were going to be doing, maybe for not as long as they have been at it, but the guards never dreamed of being activated to a war zone for months or years on end. Poor souls. I can't imagine how bad they feel everyday as thier home life fades away and others take thier place in society. Totaly unfair and unneccessary. What a disgusting situation for all. And no end in sight.
I think we are already in that terrible time, Skyguy

Our Mission: We improve network security by identifying and detecting threats early; sharing data in near real time; and playing an active role in providing the knowledge, capability, and capacity to secure and monitor valuable networks.
Achieving network situational awareness depends on an organization's ability to effectively monitor its networks and, ultimately, to analyze that data to detect malicious activity. The CERT Network Situational Awareness (NetSA) group has analyzed hundreds of real-world cases of malicious activity on large, enterprise-scale networks to develop tools and approaches that can help organizations defend their networks from potential attacks.
The CERT NetSA group works to provide broad quantitative insights on network traffic characteristics relevant to the security of the networks involved. This insight ranges from descriptive (What is happening on the network right now? What changed before and after an incident?) to exploratory (What new traffic is appearing on the network? How often does an event happen?) to predictive (If this change is made, what will the impact be? How effective will this kind of additional protection be?). The tools and methods providing this insight are in a constant state of development and improvement. Learn more about our work.
Large networks can generate billions of network transactions each day. Unassisted, network security analysts cannot possibly analyze this volume of data. We develop approaches to automate that analysis and find malicious activity within these huge data sets, and we transition these techniques to our sponsors and the larger network security community.
Our open source tools enable organizations to monitor large-scale networks using flow data. These tools grew out of the AirCERT and SiLK projects, and the effort to integrate those projects into a unified, standards-compliant flow collection and analysis platform.
Contact us to learn more about our research, collaborate on new research, seek our help with your critical problems, or provide feedback.
Network situational awareness is the systematic gathering, analysis, and interpretation of data from local and remote networks, regarding structure, applications, traffic, and resources to produce actionable information for decision making in network operations and defense.

Illustrator and Writer Maurice Sendak's Mural Painted in 1961 has New Home in Philadelphia

Joann Loviglio, Associated Press
Long before award-winning illustrator and writer Maurice Sendak's world of wild things charmed millions of young readers and changed the notion of what children's literature could look like, some of his now-classic characters frolicked on a wall overlooking New York's Central Park for an audience of two.
A mural Sendak painted in 1961 was removed wall and all after his friends, who were the apartment's longtime residents, had passed away. Now, it is being restored in a Philadelphia museum devoted to his work.
"What's nice is it's like a time machine," the 82-year-old Sendak told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from his Connecticut home. "It captures a part of the past for a moment, and friends who were very dear to me."
Sendak painted the work on a bedroom wall of Lionel and Roslyn Chertoff's Upper West Side apartment, two years before he gained international acclaim for "Where the Wild Things Are" in 1963. Though that book's "wild rumpus"-loving monsters don't make an appearance, the mural features Sendak's beloved pet terrier and star of several books, Jennie, leading a parade of festively dressed children, a bear and a lion that the artist would revisit in books throughout his career.
It is believed to be the only surviving mural by Sendak, who created the 4-by-13-foot artwork as a gift to Nina and Larry Chertoff, then ages 4 and 6, on the wall of their 13th-floor bedroom.
"Those two kids were in that room when I was working on it, running in and out of the room, bumping around, laughing, screaming," Sendak recalled with a chuckle. "I had fun painting it, it was a great experience."
Fifty years later, the Chertoff siblings whose names appear on the mural on a parasol held by a lion's tail vividly recall it as a magical part of their childhood.
"The beds were below the mural and at night, as a kid you'd be going to sleep and you would fantasize that the array of kids and characters were all going to the park, they were going to go and have a great time," Larry Chertoff recalled. "It was almost like having imaginary friends who had been substantiated somehow, because they were there on the wall for us to see."
Sendak and his late partner, Eugene Glynn, were frequent guests at the Chertoffs' apartment. Glynn and Lionel Chertoff, both psychiatrists, became acquainted professionally in the 1950s and the couples quickly came to be close and lifelong friends.
After the deaths of their parents and the pending rental of the apartment where they grew up, the Chertoff children decided to donate the mural to the Rosenbach Museum & Library, located within two elegant 1860s townhouses in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square neighborhood. In 1967, Sendak himself chose the
once the home of rare book dealers Philip and A.S.W. Rosenbach as the repository for 10,000 works of his art, books, manuscripts and ephemera that can be seen in rotating exhibitions and events year-round.
Upon finding where they wanted the mural to go, the next step was figuring out how to get it there. It took months of preparation before the entire mural wall was removed from the apartment in 2008 in what curator Judy Guston called a "brute force, but delicate, operation."
"It was bittersweet that it was the end of the era where it was, but its future is to be seen by children from all over the world," Nina Chertoff said. "Even the doormen were cheering as it came out of the building; they wanted their pictures taken in front of it . the whole thing was one of those rare moments in time where everything happened the right way, for the right reasons."
The 1,400-pound plaster-covered masonry wall had to be split into two pieces, to get it onto an elevator and out of the apartment building, then was loaded onto a truck to Philadelphia. Several years of evaluation, planning and construction later, it now rests in its permanent home inside the Rosenbach's first-floor gallery, where conservation work is under way to stabilize flaking paint and remove layers from housepainters who accidentally covered parts of the characters as they painted around them.
Equipped with a scalpel, cotton swabs and patience, conservator Cassie Myers works at the Rosenbach nearly every day to meet an April completion deadline. The museum has created public viewing hours on Wednesdays for the curious to see the restoration as it progresses.
"It's really satisfying to have it here and see the progress," Guston said. "We hope that when Maurice sees it, it'll be like seeing an old friend again. I think he'll be delighted."
The Chertoffs and Sendak said they hope to make the trip to Philadelphia when the restored mural is unveiled.
"We're so happy that it can be shared with everyone," Larry Chertoff said. "Our mom passed away, Eugene passed away, our dad is gone, but it felt like their spirits went with the mural and are wrapped up in it somehow. That's a beautiful feeling."

Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. Reports 2011 Results
"While 2011 posed challenges from a real estate sales perspective, we continue to actively build our pipeline of development projects to ensure that we are well positioned for market recovery. For instance, at Waihonua, our 340-unit condominium project ideally situated near the Ala Moana Shopping Center, non-binding pre-sales commenced in December. While still in an early stage, we are pleased by the market's initial response. Recently, we announced two transactions that reflect our strategy of increasing our Hawaii development focus—the acquisition of a retail development site within the Gateway at Mililani Mauka Shopping Center complex in Central Oahu, and the option to purchase a site in urban Honolulu, zoned for a high-rise condominium," added Kuriyama.
"Progress continues to be made toward our previously announced plan to separate our transportation and real estate/agricultural businesses in the second half of 2012. We remain excited about each new business' ability to grow and create shareholder value as independent, publicly traded companies," said Kuriyama.
Ocean Transportation adjusted operating profit was $14.0 million in the quarter 2, and operating profit was $13.0 million. These results compare to fourth quarter 2010 operating profit of $28.8 million. Improved performance in Guam was more than offset by significantly lower results from CLX1 due to lower Transpacific freight rates and higher operating costs, and the impact on Hawaii container volume of one less week recorded in the quarter compared to last year. A $0.6 million operating loss for Matson Logistics in the fourth quarter was due in part to lower highway volume, lower demand at our West Coast warehouse facilities, and lower international intermodal volume due to the discontinuation of CLX2.
Agribusiness operating profit was $7.3 million, 59 percent higher in the quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. Improved quarter results were driven primarily by higher power sales, and sugar and molasses margins, offset by disaster relief recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

There are many forms of motivators that keep people focused and consistent with their pursuit of accomplishments. But it's not always easy or so clear to size up what a healthy lifestyle looks like.
So, we've compiled a list of several factors that give you more insight into your own lifestyle, health, and fitness motivations. For me, these categories represent balance. When I can align most or even all at one time, I'm more motivated, happy, and have more fun in my life. What about you?

Written by Aimee GreenPeeling the Onion
The other day in class, we asked some members what they would like to add or subtract from their diets. The answers varied from adding more greens and drinking more water to eliminating sugar and Haagen Dazs. Then, we asked why? Why do you want to add or subtract those things? We can follow the example of drinking more water.
Coach: Why do you want to drink more water?
Athlete: To lose weight and stay hydrated.
Don't stop there! Why is it important to stay hydrated? Why does it help with weight loss, disease prevention, and have a host of other benefits? If you don't push yourself to find the most basic explanation of why to satisfy your curiosity, you might not fully commit to changing your habits. For example, if I tell you to drink more water you might listen because I am a coach and you trust me and you've heard water is good. However, what is going to make you change and then maintain the habit of drinking more water?
Let's start peeling back that onion with the water example. Why drink more water? One reason is because drinking adequate amounts of water maintains the body's fluid balance. Why is fluid balance important? Fluid balance is important in transporting nutrients in the body, regulating body temperature, digesting food, and more. We could continue to peel this onion, and I encourage you to do so if you geek out about physiology!

James Van Der Beek - James Van Der Beek To Be A Father Again
James Van Der Beek has revealed his wife Kimberly Brook is pregnant again.
James Van Der Beek is going to be a dad again.
The former 'Dawson's Creek' star - who already has a 13-month-old daughter Olivia with his second wife Kimberly Brook - revealed on his twitter page that his spouse is pregnant again.
He wrote: "Just when we thought we couldn't feel any more blessed, it seems the universe has plans to give our daughter a sibling... #humbled (sic)."
He has not revealed when the baby is due or if they know its gender.
James often takes to twitter to gush about fatherhood, recently writing about Olivia on her first birthday last month.
He said: "The cliche about fatherhood that's the most true: It goes so fast. Happy first birthday, little miss thing. I love you beyond...(sic)"
James and Kimberly started dating in July 2009, one month after he separated from first wife Heather McComb and the couple married in a Kabbalah ceremony in Israel in August 2010 before Olivia was born.
After the ceremony James wrote: "Best day of my life so far.
"The woman I love did me the honor of became my wife today... I look forward to earning her for the rest of my life. (sic)"

Atelier, a Delhi-based theatre group, has been at the forefront of several theatre festivals and workshops as well as a special city-wide festival for children, Bachpan, which is supported by the Ministry of Culture. This year the group will take Bachpan to Bangalore for the first time.
Bachpan grew out of a desire to take the regular annual school play out of the safe confines of the school auditorium. The idea was to expose young actors to the beginnings of critical discussions of their work in a non-competitive environment.
This year, for Bachpan in Bengaluru, Atelier and its team sent out letters to more than 600 schools including Kannada medium ones. Following the same process as in Delhi, 23 schools in the city present their plays to a three-member jury, who select the five best plays for the grand finale.
Though the letter mentioned that proposals for plays in Kannada would be encouraged, most entries have been in English followed by Hindi. Shakespeare remains a fixture with some schools trying to adapt poems and writings by Indian writers like Tagore and Premchand who are part of the curriculum and, therefore, familiar. Sometimes plays with excessive platitudes and good intentions are sent in and invariably turned down in favour of more spontaneous and real material.
Atelier's artistic director Kuljeet Singh says, "We usually look for how well their ideas are going with the performances, the relation of content and form and a certain unstressful simplicity giving the children an opportunity to step away from their intensely pressurised lifestyles."
One problem that Singh and his team have encountered is that most schools tend to regard the exercise as an extended English language learning session, which naturally undermines the festival's free flowing intent. In some cases there were pleasant surprises too. Singh talks about a play from a Delhi school, which put together a play on Tagore in an unusual and rather unsophisticated production. "On reflection, though, we found that their presentation and understanding was not very far from the truth of the play," he says.
To promote its vision for school theatre, Atelier is also devising Interactive Short Plays for teachers and students. Next year, Bachpan intends to travel to Dehra Dun and Pune with support from the Ministry of Culture and YFM-Youniform Experts.
Bottomline: Exposing young actors to critical discussions of their work in a non-competitive environment
Bachpan Children's Theatre Festival
When: October 4 (Grand Finale)
Where: Alliance Francaise, Bangalore

englishSFO is a giant squidEvery now and then you hear some news about or see some pictures of "Giant Squids". What about the San Fransico Airport? ProjectPAAS
12 seconds start nowI still have problems explaining what the service is doing in an elevator pitch. But basicaly one installs a module on a to be tested staging site from d.o with the funky URL /project/paas, configures the service on the portal of projectpaas.com and then wait an hour or two. We start a service to measure your site from the outside and from the inside, analyse the data, make a report and when you check your mail you get an in depth report on all the elements of the chain that are relevant to the performance of the website. We measure from one or more selectable (EC2) locations in the world with over 150 metrics and we only report on real data, no yslow wisdom. We know what influence speed, we see how it is configured at your site (with the module or from the outisde) and we simulate to find the the optimal value would be for your use case. The cliché for example that one needs parallel download (images[1-4].example.com) to bypass the maximumum connection a browser can have to a host, is just that, a cliché. When one takes DNS lookup,TCP slow start and the sliding window in to account, for certain usecase, having images[x].example.com might actually be slower. So we are opinionated, we measure, we analyse, we report, you gain speed. Easteregg
This posting isn't as much about the service of ProjectPAAS as it is about why we made the service. To share our experience and to get feedback from you. There are two reasons we made it, one is internally driven and one is externally. The internal reason is that we have been building some of the most visited sites and webapps in Drupal in the Netherlands. So after some time we got good at performance, we understood what to do and what not to do for the complete stack of elements that define speed, HTML, CSS, Linux, Apache, MySQL and yes, Drupal. Word got out that we were good and siteowners that have been building their site at another company, came to us for advice on how to get more speed in their site. Land hereThe external reason might be more interesting for you. We made the SAAS because we think that the CMS landscape will change and our business will change. The landscape will change. 10 years ago everybody had his/her own CMS, there were more CMS-es then websites it seemed. 5 yeas ago it was clear who were going to be the winners in the consolidation, 80% of the proprietary "solutions" were gone and open source was no longer a dirty word in enterprises. Within the open CMS-es, the global top 5 was visible though especially in Europe there were still many local open source CMS-es. This consolidation perse was good open source and especially for Drupal shops.
The users of these open source SAAS hosting solutions will only grow. Good for the parties offering these services, bad for the Drupal shops that have been building relatively simple portfolio sites. By itself, this trend might have a big impact those coding Drupal core, modules or working in for example the security team. This is not meant in a bad way, but with most of the sites going towards a smaler group of SAAS companies, the number of "independent" individuals adding to core or writing modules might actually get lower, they might have another itch. It will be very interesting to see how this will develop, I might be completely wrong here. Performance takes timeTraditionally most Drupal shops do projects, do maintenance and do consulting. Some have found a nice niche, a place geographically apart, a specific vertical or a certain service like migration from another CMS. However, most Drupal shops build relatively simple websites for SOHO plus. I know there are many shops that work for high end enterprises. But not all the 280.000 Drupal sites fit in the Alexa top 100.000. So I do think that if you are a Drupal shop, you have to find your sweet spot the next couple of month. On the one hand we have operational excellence (a SAAS to host sites like gardens or a service like ProjectPAAS itself) and on the other hand customer intimacy (the complex sites with lots of integration with backend systems and complex workflow). There might be space between these two, but the portfolio site area will get very crowded and Drupal will not be the best tool to serve this in my opinion. This is part of the reason why we build our first SAAS around a product we understand and is close to our core business. We are already planning next services that might still be build in Drupal but will target a broader audience.

get your ticket to the Frontendunited Event in London now
Order now and win a pony. Frontend United, From Amsterdam to LondonLast year, I was one of the coorganizers of Frontend United In Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I have organized dozen of events, DrupalCons, DrupalJams, DrupalCamps totaling a dozen of events. The best and most funny to organize of them all however was the Frontend United conference with good friends Jesper, Marek, Morten, Philippe and angel Isabelle. The weekly conference calls quickly became a selfhelp group and the best comedy channel available. The fun we had organizing the event, clearly payed off and turned the event in to the best event I ever attended. Mostly because Fronten United is different. We have some rules to live by and these rules help us organize it and give the best value possible to the attendees. In fact, we try to be for Drupal what TED is for technology! Our rules are simple
These are simple rules, resulting in a great conference. Outside in means we will look at technology, design. The unimportant stuff and then but only then Drupal. We look at speakers who are architects, painters, people whose actions or ideas are completely irrelevant for Drupals community in the narrow sense but if mapped on our community, code or license of great influence. We value attendees above sponsors. We do *heart* our sponsors, they are the best. But in the end the sponsors and the organizers work for the attendees, not the other way around. We will never do a sponsored talk, an opening by a sponsor or a case-study, mixing content and sponsors is the best way to kill a brand in our opinion. We believe in growth, but not that a number like "attendees" has anything to do with growth. We aim at 250 people max per conference and grow in quality from there. We will never have 2.000 attendees but will have the best sessions available. As for the nerds part, the group photo was taken at 13:37 time. We succeed in all of these rules last year. All but one. Despite the fact that one sponsor went belly up and did not pay our fiscal agency, the Drupal Association (thanks!), we still made money. And thereby did not give the maximum value for our attendees. Or did we? If you look at this blog by friend Baris Frontend-United was awesome or at the blog of the king it looks we succeeed in givin the attendees the best con ever! It was great to hear jan Willem Tulp talk about data visualization and the story of how Jeroen Wijering sold his a license for his video player to YouTube for $25 is still great to hear. No matter what your question was ("$25 per server? Client? Month?") his answer would be $25. Here are some snapshots of the money we made with sales and the hat-round, the venue "Pakhuis de Zwijger", the banner with the sponsors, the excellent t-shirt with the infamous astronaut and the drinking venue with the Druplicon as a logo. So far for 2012. On with 2013. With the help of a great all-female team in the UK, we are pulling the best Drupal conference of once again, backed by the Drupal Association (thanks), in London, 13 and 14 of April, in Cargo. Ticket sales will start shortly, great keynote speakers are already lined up but we need you as a speaker and as a sponsor! So please earmark the date in your agenda, think about an inspiring talk Frontend related and download the attached sponsor brochure. And mail we if you are interested in sponsoring, bert AT boerland DOT com. Now lets rock London!
