Pfizer should rise 'significantly' over next two years, says Jefferies
Jefferies analyst Jeffrey Holford told investors this morning that he expects shares of Pfizer (PFE) to appreciate "significantly" over the next two years. A survey of U.S. oncologists indicated the company's Ibrance drug will be used in 50% of first line hormonal therapy within one year, with off-label use in all lines of therapy including adjuvant, Holford noted. He thinks peak sales of the drug could top $13B, which is well above consensus. In addition, the analyst views Pfizer's Global Established Pharmaceutical business as being underappreciated by the market. Potential value creating options for the pharmaceutical giant include spinning off its GEP unit by 2017 and accretive acquisitions, with possible takeover targets being Shire (SHPG), Actavis (ACT), AstraZeneca (AZN) and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), in the eyes of Holford. He added the stock to the firm's Franchise Picks list, which encompasses its best ideas. He also raised his price target for Pfizer to $45 from $42. The stock closed Friday up 10c to $34.25.

On The Fly: Midday Wrap
Stocks began the day sharply higher and have continued to tack on gains throughout the morning. The market's move put the Nasdaq back above 5,000 and the S&P above 2,100. The market is undergoing quadruple witching, which occurs 4 times per year and typically is accompanied by high volume and volatility. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the economic calendar was quiet. The Baker Hughes U.S. rig count, which has been closely watched in recent months amid the protracted slide in oil prices, is expected at 1:00 pm EDT. The count of U.S. rigs stood at 1125 at the end of last week. In Europe, reports indicate German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Greece has agreed to send a list of overhauled reforms to European officials within days. COMPANY NEWS: Shares of Nike (NKE) advanced 4% following its Q3 earnings beat. Credit Suisse raised Nike's price target to $106 following the report, saying Nike's underlying futures growth remains in double-digits and preliminary FY16 guidance suggests management has been effective in managing currency headwinds... The shares of Biogen (BIIB) rallied 8% after the company reported results for an early stage study of its Alzheimer's drug, BIIB-037. The company announced that the three milligram, six milligram, and ten milligram dose versions of its Alzheimer's treatment, aducanumab, had reduced the amount of amyloid plaque in the brains of Alzheimer's patients taking the drug by statistically significant amounts compared with those taking placebos. The cognitive decline of patients taking BIIB-037 was also significantly less than that of patients who were taking placebos, the company reported. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Prothena (PRTA), which surged 30% after announcing results from a Phase 1 single ascending dose study of its potential treatment of Parkinson's disease. Also higher was Darden Restaurants (DRI), which gained 4% after the owner of the Olive Garden and Long Horn restaurant chains reported earnings that beat expectations. Among the noteworthy losers was China's Youku Tudou (YOKU), which dropped 9% and was downgraded to Sell at Deutsche Bank after the company reported mixed Q4 results. Also lower was Theravance (THRX), which fell 7% after the company and partner GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) announced that an FDA advisory committee voted that the efficacy data for their Breo Ellipta inhaler provides substantial evidence of a clinically meaningful benefit in adults, however it voted against approval for the proposed indication in 12-17 year olds. INDEXES: Near midday, the Dow was up 189.04, or 1.05%, to 18,148.07, the Nasdaq was up 40.24, or 0.81%, to 5,032.62, and the S&P 500 was up 19.54, or 0.94%, to 2,108.81.
GlaxoSmithKline, Theravance launch Revlar Ellipta in Italy
In a regulatory filing, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Theravance (THRX) announced the launch of Revlar Ellipta in Italy following the recent approval by the Italian regulatory authorities in December 2014. Relvar is a fixed dose combination of the inhaled corticosteroid fluticasone furoate and the long-acting beta2-agonist vilanterol. The components will be administered using the Ellipta, a dry powder inhaler. In Italy, the product is indicated for the regular treatment of asthma in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older where use of a combination medicinal product is appropriate; and for the symptomatic treatment of adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease with a FEV1<70% predicted normal post-bronchodilator with an exacerbation history despite regular bronchodilator therapy.

GlaxoSmithKline, Theravance announce FDA panel outcome on Breo Ellipta
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Theravance (THRX) announced the outcome of the joint meeting of the Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee and Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee of the United States FDA regarding the supplemental New Drug Application for Breo Ellipta as a once-daily inhaled treatment for asthma in patients aged 12 years and older. The FDA Advisory Committee voted that the efficacy and safety data for FF/VI 100/25 mcg and 200/25 mcg once daily in asthma support approval in adults 18 years of age and older (16 for, 4 against). The Committee voted that the efficacy data provides substantial evidence of a clinically meaningful benefit in adults (18 for, 2 against) and that the safety in this population has been adequately demonstrated (17 for, 3 against). The Committee voted against approval for the proposed indication in 12-17 year olds (2 for, 18 against). The Committee voted that the efficacy data was not sufficient to demonstrate the benefit (4 for, 16 against) and the safety (1 for, 19 against) has not been adequately demonstrated in this sub-population. The Committee recommended that a large LABA safety trial with FF/VI should be required in adults (13 yes, 7 no) and in 12-17 year olds (17 yes, 2 no and 1 no-vote), similar to the ongoing LABA safety trials being conducted as an FDA Post-Marketing Requirement by each of the manufacturers of LABA containing asthma treatments. FDA Advisory Committees provide non-binding recommendations for consideration by the FDA. Based on these opinions and the data presented, the FDA will make its final decision on approval, which is expected on April 30.

POSTED: Friday, February 22, 2013 - 1:00am
UPDATED: Friday, February 22, 2013 - 1:04am
ENTERTAINMENT NEWS (CNN) — The already all-star "Arrested Development" cast is expanding.
When new episodes of the fan favorite series arrive on Netflix in May, they'll feature two new guests stars: Kristen Wiig and Seth Rogen.
Although Netflix is keeping the extent of their involvement hush-hush, New York Magazine's Vulture reports that Wiig will portray a younger Lucille Bluth.
This new season will include 14 episodes, with each one revolving around one character's point of view as others float in and out of the storyline, creator and executive producer Mitch Hurwitz said at the TCA panel in January. "[I]t's kind of an evolution of the storytelling that was necessary," he explained.
Details on what's to come are slim, but it sounds like Hurwitz and co. are working hard to retain an element of mystery with their new "Arrested" offerings.
"The spirit of this was to surprise fans with something that they didn't see coming," Hurwitz said of the revamped "Arrested" in January. "There was so much talk about the movie that we thought, 'Wouldn't it be great to still do the movie but to give everybody this thing they didn't see coming.'"

I have recently upgraded my app from Ovi Map Api to the new Nokia.map api and noticed that the zoomBar is actually being placed on the right side of the map instead of left. Is there a way to customize that?
I have recently upgraded my app from Ovi Map Api to the new Nokia.map api and noticed that the zoomBar is actually being placed on the right side of the map instead of left. Is there a way to customize that?
Currently you'll have to do this by manipulating the CSS of the appropriate DOM element.
There are two levels of control you might want to use whilst doing this. If you need absolute control, you could find the element you want to use (by using FireBug for instance). For the zoombar this is held in nm_zoomWrap You could then programmatically alter the CSS style yourself
The API already defines two style classes nm_left and nm_right, so you can also shift the zoom bar through updating the style class of the zoombar element.Code:document.getElementsByClassName("nm_zoomWrap")[0].style.top = "0" document.getElementsByClassName("nm_zoomWrap")[0].style.left = "-1000px" document.getElementsByClassName("nm_zoomWrap")[0].style.position = "relative"
As you have noticed there are currently no methods in the API itself to move the zoom bar component around. It is expected that the API will be introducing a convenience method to do this in a version in the near future.Code:document.getElementsByClassName("nm_zoomWrap")[0].className = "nm_zoomWrap nm_wrap nm_left" document.getElementsByClassName("nm_zoomWrap")[0].className = "nm_zoomWrap nm_wrap nm_right"
Thank you very much. Hopefully the method will be implemented soon.
Any more news on when this might get added to the api? Also I seem to get a different zoom control in IE compared to Firefox, the IE one appears on the left and is larger, whilst in Firefox I am just getting simple + and - buttons on the right. The IE zoom bar is positioned quite far from the left edge so I would like to move it further left.
to maintain backward compatibility where possible. IE7 currently represents under 3% of browser usage.
To use the current zoom bar, ensure that you have the following <meta> tag in the <head> of your page
If you have IE8 also ensure that you are not forcing the page to render as IE7 through invoking developer tools (F12) -> browser mode.Code:<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7; IE=EmulateIE9"/>
The "trick" to move the current zoom bar has been described earlier in the thread.

For anyone tired of working day-to-day on a small screen, but still wants a high-end, thin-and-light with a long, long battery life, the Book 9 2014 Edition is one sweet system.
The company's suppliers have already started mass production of a 12-inch, high-resolution MacBook Air, says the Wall Street Journal.
One of our favorite gaming laptops get a sharp 4K display that will make all kinds of content look better, although it's a bit of a tease, as you can't actually crank most games up to that resolution.
The HP Stream 11 aims to be a cloud-focused laptop, much like a Chromebook, but with the added utility of Windows 8. It's a rock-bottom budget laptop, so don't get your hopes up, but the battery life is impressive.
If you're looking for an all-around solid Chrome OS experience -- with one of the best screens we've seen on a Chromebook -- the Toshiba Chromebook 2 should be your starting point.
This top-rated touchscreen laptop normally sells for $999.99. And you can sweeten the deal a little further with a cashback service.
The HP Spectre TouchSmart XT is a rare superslim 15-inch laptop with a touch screen, but for the premium price, it should include more high-end extras.
Holiday shoppers can save some bucks on a Surface Pro 3, various ultrabooks, Xbox One consoles and assorted accessories.
The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro has a breakthrough design, but requires careful consideration of the trade-offs required, particularly battery life.
One of the first laptops that can drive games at 4K resolutions, the Asus G751 is an expensive but capable alternative to gaming desktops.


text: How I wish this was available as a full-sized single product. I have it in the trio of powders and it is by far my favourite and one I would love to repurchase on its own, if only I could. This gives the prettiest, most flattering "lit from within" finish to my face when I dust it over liquid foundation as a setting powder. The sheen is subtle and flattering.

Fox already settled on its drama lineup for the 2013-2014 season, and now the network has ordered a crop of new comedy series. Four new half-hour sitcoms are joining New Girl, The Mindy Project, Raising Hope, and the already picked-up Dads.
The new shows include Seth MacFarlane's Dads, Britcom remake Us & Them, the Christopher Meloni-starring Surviving Jack, the Andy Samberg-starring Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and the military-themed Enlisted. Which one sounds like your new favorite? Here's a quick overview of the new shows. Share your initial thoughts in the comments.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Comedy nerds, you're gonna like this one for several reasons. First, it comes from the producers behind Parks and Recreation, Dan Goor and Michael Schur. Second, it stars the always hilarious Andy Samberg and the incredibly nice (but also super intimidating) Andre Braugher. Third, the premise is inherently funny: the two men play a smartass detective and uptight boss in a remote New York City precinct full of screw-ups. Hijinks will most definitely ensue.
This live-action sitcom from Seth MacFarlane was ordered straight to series and stars Seth Green and Giovanni Ribisi as two BFFs whose annoying dads move in with them.
A Type-A military man (Geoff Stults) moves to the small Florida Army base where his dimwitted and under-achieving brothers serve alongside a troop of misfits. The show comes from s co-creator Kevin Biegel.
Surviving Jack
Law & Order: SVU vet Christopher Meloni shows off his hilarious side (which you already know about if you've seen him in one of his many memorable comedic turns — Wet Hot American Summer, etc.) in this father-son comedy based on Justin Halpern's semi-autographical book I Suck at Girls.
Us & Them
Yes, it's another British remake (insert groan here), this time of the popular short-lived comedy Gavin and Stacey. Just as in the original version, the comedy follows a new couple (played here by Gilmore Girl Alexis Bledel and Jason Ritter, who just romanced Bledel's onscreen mom, Lauren Graham, on Parenthood) and their outrageous BFFs.

The Allman Brothers Band Back On The Road This Summer
Tuesday, April 23, 2013
The Allman Brothers Band are taking the show on the road this summer for a series of 15 concerts. The band has just added stops in August and September in Scranton, Pennsylvania; Chicago; Hartford, Connecticut; Gilford, New Hampshire; Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina; Alpharetta, Georgia; Virginia Beach, Virginia; Mansfield, Massachusetts; and Wantagh, New York. Steve Winwood will open for the band on a handful of shows.
Galadrielle Allman, the daughter of late-guitarist Duane Allman helped compile the exhaustive seven-disc set, Skydog: The Duane Allman Retrospective, which is receiving raves from fans and critics alike. She told us that although only two at the time of her father's fatal motorcycle crash on October 29th, 1971 -- he's still been around to help guide her along the way: "I've been sort of parented by the music. Y'know, the lessons of the music, and the spirit of it, and the passion of it, has been a hugely instructive thing in my life. So, in that way, it is him for me. I was talking about Warren Haynes about it last night, that, y'know, the leaps between '69 and '70 there's a leap between (laughs) '70 and '71 there's a huge leap. It's like what would '72 have brought him? Y'know, he was really deeply engaged in constantly learning."

NASCAR 2013: Ranking Brad Keselowski, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Danica Patrick and the sport's top stars
NASCAR 2013: Ranking Brad Keselowski, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Danica Patrick and the sport's top stars
Brad Keselowski ended the 2012 season on top of the NASCAR world, having beaten five-time champion Jimmie Johnson for the Sprint Cup championship.
Clint Bowyer, Kasey Kahne and Dale Earnhardt Jr. also had surprisingly good seasons.
But the game has changed in 2013. A brand-new Sprint Cup car — the Gen-6 — has every Sprint Cup team starting over. Some teams will adapt to it quicker than others. Some drivers will like it, some won't.
The new car is NASCAR's biggest change in six years and it could shake up the field.
Who will emerge as the drivers to beat this season? And will we see another new Sprint Cup champion?
Here's our preseason rankings to start the 2013 season:
Use arrow keys to navigate
of 25
Brad Keselowski
He emerged as NASCAR's next big star by beating Jimmie Johnson to win his first Sprint Cup championship last year. The question now: can he do it again?
of 25
Jimmie Johnson
After dominating the sport from 2006-10, Johnson and his vaunted No. 48 team have proved vulnerable the past two years. Do he and crew chief Chad Knaus have another championship in them? And how will they respond to losing the title for the first time in seven years?
of 25
Denny Hamlin
Hamlin and crew chief Darian Grubb formed a formidable combination, winning five races last year, but they couldn't get it done at crunch time, which seems to be a reoccurring theme with Hamlin.
Is he finally ready to win a Cup championship?
of 25
Kasey Kahne
Most agree that Kahne is poised for a big season with Hendrick and ready to be a title contender. But most thought that last year, too, and season one with Hendrick was somewhat of a disappointment. Kahne should be poised for a big year.
of 25
Matt Kenseth
He was a consistent winner and perennial championship contender for most of his 13 years at Roush Fenway Racing. More big things are expected with Joe Gibbs Racing. But will it take him a year to adjust to a new team and new surroundings?
of 25
Kyle Busch
Busch won just one race last year and had what he called "the worst season of his career." But he was the hottest driver on the circuit at the end of the season.
Busch is one of many drivers who hated the COT. He could return to dominance with the new car.
of 25
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Junior proved last year that he could run near the top of the standings and perhaps contend for the championship. But he needs to win more races and step up in the Chase.
He, too, should benefit from a new car that is much more to his liking.
of 25
Clint Bowyer
His breakout season last year was a surprise in his first season with Michael Waltrip Racing. No one doubts that Bowyer can do it again, but can MWR?
of 25
Jeff Gordon
Gordon has not been Jeff Gordon the past few years. He won just two races last year and has finished ninth, eighth and 10th in the Chase in the past three years.
At 41, will Gordon continue to fade, or does he have a bounce-back season in him with NASCAR's new car?
of 25
Tony Stewart
Stewart, who won the 2011 championship with a remarkable Chase performance, has a habit of being up one year and down the next. Last year was a down year, his three wins overshadowed by a poor performance in the Chase.
Don't be surprised if he is back with a vengeance this season.
of 25
Carl Edwards
You've heard of the infamous runnerup hangover, those drivers who stumble badly after losing a championship? Edwards took the trend to a whole new level last year, plummeting to 15th in points.
But, like Stewart, Edwards has a habit of bouncing back strong. If he and new crew chief Jimmy Fennig mesh, Edwards could be right back in the championship hunt.
of 25
Greg Biffle
Biffle is one of the most difficult drivers to handicap. He bounced back from a winless season with two victories and a fifth-place finish in points last year. But at age 43, has his time passed to win the Sprint Cup title?
of 25
Kevin Harvick
With Harvick beginning his final season with Richard Childress Racing and headed to Stewart-Haas in 2014, most believe his fate has been sealed. Most believe this will end badly.
But Harvick knows how to handle adversity and he typically comes back strong when people write him off. Don't be surprised if he wins a few races and makes one more run at the title for RCR.
of 25
Martin Truex Jr.
Though Truex made the Chase last year, he probably won't get much love in preseason rankings. Why? He still hasn't won a race since 2007 and stumbled in the Chase last year, finishing 11th in the final standings.
Truex needs to win to earn complete respect.
of 25
Joey Logano
Logano was once considered the best thing since … well, since "sliced bread" (hence his former nickname). But Logano won just two races in four years at Joe Gibbs Racing and was replaced by Matt Kenseth.
Still just 22, he gets another golden opportunity teaming with champion Brad Keselowski at Penske Racing. Logano needs to do more with his second chance.
of 25
Ryan Newman
This is a big year for Newman, who has just a one-year contract with Stewart-Haas and presumably will be replaced by Harvick next year.
Newman has won just three races in four years with SHR and missed the Chase last year. He must hope that former crew chief Matt Borland can take him back to the top.
of 25
Kurt Busch
The only driver who is facing a more critical season than Newman and Logano is Busch, who hopes to return to elite status. Busch will try to resurrect his career with Furniture Row Racing, a single-car team with close ties to RCR.
If Busch can win a race and challenge for a Chase spot, he could be a highly sought-after free agent again.
of 25
Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
No one will race under a brighter spotlight this year — except maybe his girlfriend — than Stenhouse. Not only is he a two-time Nationwide champion with high expectations, but his relationship with Danica Patrick will garner him plenty of unwanted attention.
Stenhouse must hope he can make more headlines on the track than off.
of 25
Marcos Ambrose
Ambrose earned another one-year contract with Richard Petty Motorsports and he must make the most of it or he could be headed back to Australia.
Ambrose has two wins on road courses in the last two years, but he must prove he can win on an oval and make a more serious challenge for a spot in the Chase.
of 25
Jeff Burton
At 45, Burton has a lot to prove in 2013. Once one of NASCAR's most competitive drivers, Burton hasn't won in four years and is coming off two of his worst seasons. He needs to return to victory lane, challenge for a Chase spot again and prove he can still get it done as his career winds to a close.
of 25
Jamie McMurray
He proved in 2010 that he can win NASCAR's biggest races and be one of the sport's top drivers. But he has struggled badly the past two years, thanks mostly to the decline of Earnhardt Ganassi Racing.
McMurray will bounce back only if EGR has dramatically improved its cars and organization.
of 25
Aric Almirola
After a slow start and mostly miserable first half, Almirola showed promise at the end of last season, earning another year with Richard Petty Motorsports. He and crew chief Todd Parrott had some impressive runs late in the season.
They must keep it up for Almirola to continue to develop a Sprint Cup career.
of 25
Paul Menard
Though he scored his first career victory in 2011, Menard has been mostly disappointing in two years at RCR. He's in his final year of his contract and needs to step up to earn another shot with either RCR or another competitive team — though having a family-owned sponsor in his pocket likely will guarantee him a ride somewhere.
of 25
Juan Pablo Montoya
Montoya has been a big disappointment since his much-ballyhooed arrival from Formula One. He has two road-course wins and made the Chase in 2009, but, like McMurray, Montoya has been held back by the declining performance of Earnhardt Ganassi Racing.
of 25
Danica Patrick
Patrick already was going to be one of the most watched and drivers this year in her first full Sprint Cup season — now she has the added intrigue of dating a fellow driver.
Patrick and her team must hope that her relationship with Stenhouse does not become a distraction. Some — like team co-owner Tony Stewart — believe Patrick may fare better in a Sprint Cup car than people think.

Twins recall their first nor'easter - 50 years ago to the day!
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
ROCHESTER — On Saturday, Feb. 9, a nor'easter, born of two storms, bore down on the Seacoast. That was in 1963 — exactly 50 years to the day — before last Saturday's record blizzard, caused by similar weather conditions.
Last Saturday, despite the blizzard, they celebrated their 50th birthdays at Dante's restaurant in Barrington.
On Monday, with snow still falling, they returned to Frisbie Memorial Hospital, with Jane arriving a little before Jim — as was the case in 1963, she joked.
They were warmly greeted by the hospital's executive director of fund development, Judy Ouellette, who took them up to the third floor waiting room of the Gustafson Center for Women and Children's Health — once known as the Birthing Center. The nurses read the 1963 newspaper clippings with interest, but were unable to report any twin births in the most recent storm. Christine Baird, RN, wheeled out a bassinet, very similar to the one Jim and Jane had been placed in after their birth, and gave them a cuddle.
In the intervening years, Jim Comfort has had three children, all born at Frisbie, and Jane Benton has had two boys, also born in the hospital. No twins have been involved.

|Existence of Weak Solutions of Linear Subelliptic Dirichlet Problems With Rough Coefficients
This article gives an existence theory for weak solutions of second order non-elliptic linear Dirichlet problems of the form \begin{align*} \nabla'P(x)\nabla u +{\bf HR}u+{\bf S'G}u +Fu &= f+{\bf T'g} \text{ in }\Theta \\ u&=\varphi\text{ on }\partial \Theta. \end{align*} The principal part $\xi'P(x)\xi$ of the above equation is assumed to be comparable to a quadratic form ${\mathcal Q}(x,\xi) = \xi'Q(x)\xi$ that may vanish for non-zero $\xi\in\mathbb{R}^n$. This is achieved using techniques of functional analysis applied to the degenerate Sobolev spaces $QH^1(\Theta)=W^{1,2}(\Theta,Q)$ and $QH^1_0(\Theta)=W^{1,2}_0(\Theta,Q)$ as defined in previous works. Sawyer and Wheeden give a regularity theory for a subset of the class of equations dealt with here.
Keywords:degenerate quadratic forms, linear equations, rough coefficients, subelliptic, weak solutions

1996 was a great year for the Zinfandel, the essence of our St Vincent proprietary Red. Harvest was very early due to the hot summer. Crush '96 began with Sangiovese from the very rocky hillsides on Aug. 29 and finished with the last of the Zinfandel on Oct. 16. How about that! Over six weeks of harvest for one wine, certainly one method to achieve complexity.
The Saint Vincent is from sections of our estate acreage
dedicated to the SV, as we call it. The most fun part of making
this wine is the careful blending in the cellar to achieve a
distinctive style. Each vintage we adjust the varieties up or down
to achieve a consistent and distinctive style that highlights the
vintage. By this methodology we moderate the stylistic swings
associated with Zinfandel - one year it could be 16% alcohol, smoky
and tarry- your basic bottled raisin juice- and the next year a
delightful fresh berry soft earthy Pinot style. In 1996 we were
very stoked on the super Tuscan styling, and this wine reflects
that shaping in the blending. The wine is certainly Zinfandel, but
in a very soft and complex style, quite a bit different from the
currently popular monster retro style. To ensure extraordinary
grape quality we pruned and thinned the Zinfandel to one cluster
per shoot. Very severe. The 1996 Sangiovese was very shy bearing
due to the fact it is growing in pure rock.
Hot. Average rainfall. Mild winter, untimely spring rains and intense summer heat resulted in low vineyard yields. Ripening weather in September-October was excellent. Lightest crop size since 1988, very high extraction and very concentrated juice.
The blend of these grapes results in a wine that is a medium
ruby color. Both the nose and palate have more intensity than the
color alone would indicate. It has an earthy brambly bouquet. The
aroma shows blending with several different berry tones, mostly
raspberry and black cherry; and the Sangiovese shows up as a
cranberry note in the background. Even with the hot summer our
farming and winemaking avoided the overripe prune or raisin. On the
palate it has a very bright front of spicy fruit, followed by a
moderate richness and very smooth finish. There is soft tannin and
a fruit aftertaste, but it is dominated by berry fruit flavor. Here
the other varieties come into play, a cranberry brightness from the
Sangiovese, and a richer dried berry finish. Chateau Montelena
Zinfandel fans will easily recognize the basic framework of this
wine but with a much broader fruit spectrum and extremely fine
balance. It is unmistakably Zinfandel, so that's where it belongs
in your menu and wine list thinking. We are very excited about how
the good old field blending has enhanced our perennial home
favorite Zinfandel as it evolved into the Saint Vincent. We are
sure when you taste the SV you'll see why we went to the lengths we
have to plant new varietal vineyards and make a big commitment to
this Zinfandel based wine.

STA clutch down the stretch to fend off OR surge
Wednesday, February 13, 2013
DOVER — Sooner or later you need to make free throws to win a basketball game. It's called the law of averages.
Cassidy Kolter drove for a bucket, Claire McCarthy banked in a 14-footer and Jenny Mistretta drained a 3-pointer. Allie Harris hit a 10-footer from the corner and suddenly it was a six-point STA lead, 46-40, with 5:06 to play.
"They made a good run," said STA assistant coach Paul Harhen, filling in for head coach Sabrina Payeur who was serving the second game of a two-game suspension after receiving two technical fouls on Feb. 1 against Windham. "It seems to be the way we do it. But this time they really held together as a team."
At one point during the first half of the season, STA's M.O. had been to build a lead and then lose it late. Harhen talked about that at the half.
"We can't let that happen," he said. "We can't just say it's not going to happen, we have to execute. I think they did a good job with that. I got a little nervous there when it got down to six."
St. Thomas' two inside players, Meaghan Flynn and Alyssa Coneys, returned to the game at that point after sitting with four fouls.
It was even more painful for OR because their defense held the Saints scoreless during that stretch.
STA, which was 2-6 at one point, is currently tied for 11th in D-II, but could rise as high as ninth if it can finish strong.

Simple Living: 7 Ways to Turn Your Closet into an Office
I love the idea of using every nook and cranny in your home efficiently. As your kids grow, so does the stuff! And finding ways to organize and keep on top of everyone's things makes me feel productive and ready to take on the day. So I love this idea to turn a closet into an office space. You don't need much more than a computer these days, so a little-used closet could be the perfect spot for your home office:
So what do you think? Will you be clearing out the winter coats and wrapping paper in exchange for a hidden desk? Do tell!

The split terminal reminds me of a feature I have been wanting for a long time: the split Finder Window.
Whenever I want to move files, I have to open up a second Finder window and navigate to the destination folder. I have to position this window carefully so I can see the file in the first window I want to move/copy.
It would be so cool if you can split one Finder window into an upper and lower pane where each pane is individually navigable. (It could be left/right in icon view, if the user prefers).
I'm hoping Snow Leopard will let you decide what columns are available for viewing when Spotlight results are shown. For instance, I like to look at file sizes to see which movies are in the large format and which are compressed, smaller ones.
I'll second that

Excellent news.
that would be sweet if .32 kernel could get out before OS 11.2 dont think it will hit for Ubuntu, they can be stodgy about kernels released while in beta mode!
if only 3d gets good enough for AMD to throw there wait behind the open source and develop that hand in hand and dropping fglrx, or the open source driver gets good enough from bits to replace propriety code and then Fglrx can be relased under GNU.
then I can get into my hovercar and fly to the moon to the weekend home in a biosphere.........
Excellent news.
oh f*** yeah! Can't wait for that merge window to open!
I'm kind of confused with the time line. Would some one point when will r300-r500 KMS going to be set to default for a kernel?
hmm I thought 3d support is possible with 2.6.31 kernel right now? Or are this then backports/distro patches that makes this work for this kernel version?Most prominently, this new DRM code brings support for kernel mode-setting with R600 class hardware as well as 3D support
Should I expect storms on the horizon...?

Beaumont, TX (KETK) — A Beaumont man has pleaded guilty to child pornography violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales today.
Michael Brandan Griffith, 24, pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography today before U.S. District Judge Keith F. Giblin.
According to information presented in court, on January 20, 2012, federal and local agents executed a search warrant at Griffith's home in Beaumont, Texas.
Several computers and digital storage devices were collected during the search and were found to contain more than 111 images and 59 videos of child pornography. Some of the material included children under the age of 12 engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Griffith faces up to 10 years in federal prison. A sentencing date has not been set.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.
Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood used federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov [1].
This case is being investigated by the Homeland Security Investigations and the Beaumont Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher T. Tortorice.

Developing a 2D game in Java ME - Part 3
This article shows how to use Java ME's low-level interface classes to create the game screen and access key presses. This is the third in a series of articles that cover all the basics of developing an application for mobile devices using Java ME, learning the main libraries, classes, and methods available in Java ME.
Series 40
Series 40 DP 2.0
Series 40 DP 1.1
Nokia Belle
Java Runtime 2.3 for Symbian
At the end of the previous article we completed the game menu interface for the Arkanoid game. The Game screen was, however, not yet created. The goal of this article is to produce a game screen that is similar to the following screenshot.
The high-level UI elements cannot be used for the game screen because we need to have full control of the way the game elements are drawn and how the game reacts to keypad events. In order to do this, we need to use the low-level interface classes available in Java ME.
The classes belonging to the low-level group allow detailed control of the screen elements and events. Using these classes you can specify the position, color, and size. The trade-off of more control is less portability because you need to adapt to the capabilities of each device.
The following diagram shows the main classes of this group:
The entry point is the Canvas class, which gives you access to the system events:
- keyPressed(), keyRepeated(), keyReleased() notify the canvas when the keypad is used.
- pointerPressed(), pointerDragged(), pointerReleased() notify the canvas when the pointer is used, available on phones with a stylus.
- paint() notifies the Canvas when it needs to paint the screen. This method gives access to the Graphics object.
- getWidth(), getHeight() give access to the current size of the screen available to be drawn on.
The Graphics class provides the methods for direct drawing on the screen:
- drawLine() draws a line.
- drawRect(), fillRect() draws a rectangle on the screen.
- fillTriangle() draws a filled triangle.
- drawArc(), fillArc() draws an arc on the screen, can be used to draw circles.
- drawChar(), drawChars(), drawString() draws characters to the screen using the current font.
- drawImage() draws a bitmap image on the screen.
- setFont() defines the current font.
- setColor() defines the current color being used by the draw methods.
To create the game screen we need to extend the Canvas class and implement a custom paint method.
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Canvas;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Graphics;
public class MyCanvas extends Canvas {
int width;
int height;
public MyCanvas() {
protected void paint(Graphics g) {
// stores width and height
width = getWidth();
height = getHeight();
// set background color
g.setColor(0, 0, 0);
// clear screen
g.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
// draw a red circle that represents a ball
g.setColor(255, 0, 0);
g.drawArc(100, 100, 5, 5, 0, 360);
// draws a blue rectangle for the pad
g.setColor(0, 0, 255);
g.fillRect(100, 200, 15, 15);
To activate the Canvas, create it in the MIDlet class and display it on the CommandAction method.
public Displayable initGameCanvas() {
if (gameCanvas == null) {
gameCanvas = new MyCanvas();
// add a back Command to return to the menu screen
// set the listener to our actions
return gameCanvas;
After you add this code, you can enter the New Game option in the main menu that will display a black screen with a red ball and a blue pad. Now these elements need to be animated.
Game loop
Before you continue, you need to understand the way typical game applications work. A game or animation is built by repetitiously executing a piece of code. This piece of code tracks the value of the variables and updates the game state accordingly. Based on the game state, the code draws/paints/repaints the game screen with the elements that build the game. The values of the variables may change because of user interaction or internal game behavior.
This is created by putting the code that is repeated in a continuous loop. Before entering the loop, a variable can be checked to see if the game should still be running. If not, the loop can be exited. The code in the loop should allow the current execution thread to sleep every few milliseconds to control the rate at which the game state is updated (that is, how fast the game screen should be refreshed). To put it in coding terms:
public class MyCanvas extends GameCanvas implements Runnable {
public void start() {
run = true;
Thread t = new Thread(this);
public void stop() {
run = false;
public void run() {
while (run) {
// update game elements, positions, collisions, etc.
// check user input
// render screen
// redraw screen
// controls at which rate are the updates done
try {
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
midlet.endGame(lifes, score, time);
As you may have noticed, the GameCanvas class is used. The GameCanvas is a special case of the Canvas class, optimized for games. It uses the following techniques:
- Double buffering. The GameCanvas uses an off-screen image which is used for all painting operations. When painting is completed, it can be rendered to the screen using the flushGraphics() method. This eliminates flickering and gives a smoother animation.
- Storing the key state in arrays. Through the getKeyStates() method you can access a bit array that indicates the state of each key.
Besides using GameCanvas, use a Thread to keep the animation running independently of MIDlet events. This way the animation will never wait for system events to repaint itself. In the Arkanoid game we now need to implement the specific game logic for the game. The game has three kinds of entities:
- The pad, our game avatar, is just a small rectangle that moves from left to right in the bottom of the screen.
- The ball, when hit with the pad it bounces to other direction
- The bricks are static blocks in the upper part of the screen. When they are hit by the ball they disappear.
The goal of the game is to make the bricks disappear as fast as possible, and not let the ball get away through the bottom of the screen. The game needs to keep track of three variables:
- Score of the player. The player earns 10 points each time a brick is hit.
- Number of lifes remaining. Each time the ball goes through the bottom of the screen the player looses a life.
- Time remaining. The player must complete the game in a limited time.
First define some classes to represent the game entities.
The class Entity will be the parent for all the game entities. It provides the following functionalities:
- x,y: Defines the current position of the entity.
- speedX, speedY: Defines the speed of the entity.
- width, height: Defines the size of the entity.
- update(): Defines the the behavior of the entity.
- paint(): Method where the graphics class is used to draw the entity.
- collided(): Helper function that allows to check collision between entities.
Next, extend the class Entity for each game element and implement the update and paint methods. For the ball:
public class Ball extends Entity {
public int radius = 2;
public Ball(int radius) {
this.radius = radius;
width = radius * 2;
height = radius * 2;
// red color
this.color = 0x00FF0000;
* paints the ball
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.fillArc(x, y, radius*2, radius*2, 0, 360);
* updates the ball position
public void update() {
// update position
oldX = x;
oldY = y;
x += speedX;
y += speedY;
For the pad:
public class Pad extends Entity {
int minLimit = 0;
int maxLimit = 1;
public Pad(int width, int height) {
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.setColor(0, 0, 255);
g.fillRect(x, y, width, height);
public void update() {
// change x position according to speed
x += speedX;
// check if the world bounds are reached
if (x < minLimit) {
x = minLimit;
if (x + width > maxLimit){
x = maxLimit - width;
And finally for the bricks:
public class Brick extends Entity {
boolean active = true;
public Brick(int color) {
this.color = color;
public void paint(Graphics g) {
// only paints brick if it's still active
if (active) {
g.fillRect(x, y, width, height);
public void update() {
// the bricks don't move
Now create and configure all these classes in the canvas class. Create an init() method in the Canvas class.
public void init() {
// resets lifes
lifes = 3;
// resets score
score = 0;
// resets time
time = 0;
// bricks hit
bricksHit = 0;
// create a pad
pad = new Pad(getWidth()/10, getWidth()/10/4);
pad.x = (this.getWidth() - pad.width) / 2;
pad.y = this.getHeight() - (2*pad.height);
pad.maxLimit = getWidth();
pad.minLimit = 0;
// create a ball
ball = new Ball(4);
ball.x = getWidth() / 2;
ball.y = getHeight() / 2;
ball.speedX = 1;
ball.speedY = 1;
// set collision limits
wallMinX = 0;
wallMaxX = getWidth();
wallMinY = 0;
// to allow ball get out of screen
wallMaxY = getHeight() + 4 * ball.radius;
// create bricks
Brick brick;
bricks = new Vector();
for (int i=0; (i*(BRICK_WIDTH+2))<getWidth(); i++) {
brick = new Brick(Util.setColor(255,0,0));
brick.width = BRICK_WIDTH;
brick.height = BRICK_HEIGHT;
brick.x = (i*(brick.width+2));
brick.y = 20;
After all objects have been created, update their state and paint them. Add some code to the updateGameState() and updateGameScreen() methods:
protected void updateGameScreen(Graphics g) {
// stores width and height
width = getWidth();
height = getHeight();
// set background color
// clear screen
g.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
// draw score
g.drawString("Score:" + score + " Lifes:" + lifes + " Time: " + time, 0, 0, Graphics.TOP|Graphics.LEFT);
// draw game elements
// draw bricks stored in the Vector bricks
for (int i=0; i < bricks.size(); i++) {
Brick brick = (Brick)(bricks.elementAt(i));
public void updateGameState() {
// check if all bricks are hit
if (bricksHit == bricks.size()) {
run = false;
The game needs to react to keypad events to move the player pad:
public void checkUserInput() {
int state = getKeyStates();
if ((state & GameCanvas.LEFT_PRESSED) > 0) {
// move left
pad.speedX = -1;
} else if ((state & GameCanvas.RIGHT_PRESSED) > 0) {
// move right
pad.speedX = 1;
} else {
// don't move
pad.speedX = 0;
Now if you run the game in the emulator you should have a real game screen, where you can play your own game: Move the pad, hit the ball, and erase all the bricks.
