Cancer silences a joyful, obstreperous voice
Skip Harvey died on July 16, leaving an empty spot in Mammoth that nearly everyone felt.
A two-term Mammoth Lakes town councilman and mayor, ski instructor at Mammoth Mountain, and owner of the Base Camp Café, Harvey died at home after a long battle with throat cancer.
He took on just about everyone at one point or another with his iconoclastic points of view, but no one ever questioned his love of the mountains and of Mammoth in particular.
No one dared care
While Mono County blessed the electorate with a genuine dogfight, in Mammoth, voters in the municipal contest were treated (as it were) to the Election That Wasn't.
In spite of a town aswirl in controversy, finger-pointing, blame-gaming, layoffs and general overall mayhem, two seats opened on the Town Council.
Incumbent Jo Bacon signed up for re-election, while political neophyte Michael Raimondo brought his bagel-bagging electorate to the show.
After that, no one.
'Um, what bankruptcy?'
Even before it started, town leaders pushed forward with a "Best Summer Ever" marketing campaign, with more hope than actual promise.
And yet when it was over, no one could argue with it.
From the Fourth of July and Jazz Jubilee all the way to the end, Mammoth's festival season was vibrant, well-attended, and loads of fun.
We recall one evening at the four-day Bluesapalooza and Festival of Beers event at Sam's Wood Site on Minaret Boulevard.
Parks, tracks, you-name it
A distant observer might have thought poor ol' Mammoth was just going to dry up and call it quits, what with all the national, state and local press about the town's tightrope-walk along the brink of financial ruin.
But with a combination of Measure R and Measure U funds, coupled with careful planning, political willpower and the force of volunteerism, Mammoth just kept chugging ahead.
The ski area's CEO pledges new cooperation
Long held as lord of its own separate fiefdom, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area CEO Rusty Gregory began a new era of involvement with the town when he said he's had a change of heart.
In a move that left many Mammothites utterly baffled, Gregory startled the Town Council on Nov. 7 with a jaw-dropping speech.
"I am an impediment to the growth and prosperity of our resort community," he began.
Musicals, complex drama highlighted the season
In 2012, theater audiences were entertained by several diverse productions, from Sierra Classic Theatre's emotionally complex "Proof" to Mammoth Lakes Repertory Theatre's musical sensation "The Marvelous Wonderettes."
Earlier this year when the lack of snow and holiday-withdrawals started to kick in, MLRT's "Lend Me A Tenor" written by Ken Ludwig kept spirits high with risqué double-entendre and cartoonish physical comedy.
The biggest news (that no one quite knows what to think about yet) was the groundbreaking of the massive, 500-mile-plus long high-speed digital fiber optics project called Digital 395.
The project, which includes laying the high-speed fiber alongside much of U.S. 395, will link the Eastern Sierra to both Southern California and the Reno/Carson area.
It was funded through a $101 million federal American Reinvestment and Recovery Act project that promises to transform the Eastern Sierra in ways no one can accurately foresee.
A victim of a dismal snow year
In June Lake, the repercussions from the crummy snow season continued well into spring.
Partly due to the poor winter, Rusty Gregory, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area CEO, announced in late June that June Mountain Ski Area would not open for the 2012-13 season, pending reorganization and remodeling.
That was nasty businessat Alpine Meadowslast week when longtime ski patroller Bill Foster, 53, a veteran member of the Alpine ski patrol teamwas killed in an avalanche. He died on Christmas Day at Renown Regional Medical Centerin Reno after being caught in an intentionally triggered slidethe day before. Our advice: Don't ever, ever, ever take the patrollers for granted. Bill had logged 28 years at Alpine. …
Leeward side, ridgelines especially hazardous
The latest rounds of new storms were welcome for many people in the Eastern Sierra, but the Mono County Search and Rescue teams are on high alert for avalanches, a spokesman for the county's Sheriff's Department said.
"During the last series of storms to arrive in Mono County, a substantial amount of snow has fallen in the backcountry of Mono County," the spokesperson said in a news release.
Crews will wait for spring to solve case
Yosemite National Park officials on Thursday suspended the multi-agency search for a lost airplane that went missing over the park on Dec. 17, said park spokesperson Kari Cobb.
Cobb said the single-engine plane was last detected via radar over the North Dome area in the park.
"I'm breaking trail!"
Fido was exuberant. Elated. Jubilant.
"Look at ME! I am almost beyond words!"
"That'll be the day, Fido. There hasn't been a moment when you were without words. Even in your sleep, you're one big, red chatterbox."
"Let's go over here," he said, plowing through the snow. "No, let's go over here!"
i dont have a dog.
and truthfully,
i used to laugh at your column (blush).
but lately,
i look forward to it.
i open the paper like a child on Christmas morning,
anxious to see what you might say.
i am not sure what occurred first.
my patient understanding or
your improvement in article,
but just the same,
it happened.
thank you for brightening my day(s).
Samantha from Sacramento
Having digested the whole of 2012, we're looking forward to the New Year. Honestly, there was no way we could have predicted the events of the year just past, but we think we've got a pretty good handle on what's to come, that is, if the Good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise.
1. President Barack Obama will appoint Marianna Marysheva-Martinez to replace Timothy Geithner as the new Secretary of the Treasury. Americans will spend-spend-spend, all the while complaining she makes too much money.
No big snowstorms in forecasts
After producing six feet of snow in six days, Ullr, the Norse god of snow, is about to take a rest.
But Höðr, the Norse god of cold, strode into Mammoth and the Eastern Sierra Wednesday night and it looks like he's setting up camp for a while.

Bruce Springsteen
The writers of this blog are not music critics, and they don't consider a second (or third, fourth or fifth) mortgage to be a perfectly reasonable course of action to pay for front-row tickets, but despite being a whole lot more middle aged than they were when they first put \x34Born in the U.S.A.\x34 or \x34The River\x34 down on the turntable, still feels like Bruce has something -- OK, a lot of things -- to say about our country and the way we live our lives, things that not a lot of other artists are saying. And whether he's talking about the knife that can cut this pain from your heart, the house that's waiting for you to walk in or what that flag flying over the courthouse means, he's nailing down feelings that are so universal that they can raise your spirits and break your heart at the same time. Plus, let�s face it, the man rocks.

This weekend, Bruce Springsteen will be inducted into the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences
, one of the country's oldest and most prestigious honorary societies. The academy brings together each generation's most influential thinkers and leaders, and conducts nonpartisan policy research in response to society's needs.
Society has spoken: We need rock 'n' roll.
For anyone who fails to take the genre seriously, may I present to you the
list of 198 inductees
. Like the Kennedy Center Honors, this accolade probably falls into "I'd have to explain it to my father" category for Bruce, but I'm sure he's delighting in yet another way to prove the nuns back in his Jersey Catholic school were wrong about him. This is, after all, an organization whose first class of inductees included Benjamin Franklin and George Washington!
This year's inductees in the performing arts category also include fellow Kennedy Center honoree Robert DeNiro, as well as Herbie Hancock and Sally Field. But given how greatly his career has been influenced by the music and politics of his friend Pete Seeger, I'd guess it's a special honor to be inducted alongside the folk legend. The pair have performed together a number of times, including at Seeger's 90th birthday party, President Barrack Obama's inauguration, and, above, at a Woody Guthrie tribute. Perhaps they will again?
Of course, we don't know if Bruce or Pete will even show up for this invite-only event, which will be held Saturday at the organization's headquarters in Cambridge, Mass. If you're in the area this weekend, keep your eyes peeled, and make sure you know "all the verses," just in case.

"Give credit where credit is due!"
Dr. Carson's story is interesting and inspirational and well-read by one of my favorite narrators, Dion Graham. However, it was more about god than medicine. Dr. Carson worked very very hard to gain his skills as a neurosurgeon. He had a lot of help along the way, especially from his mother. And much of his skill and talent were gained on the backs of his predecessors. About one third of the book is about his faith - he is a Seventh Day Adventist. He gives god all the credit instead of his hard work and the help of actual human beings. He is very sincere, but it is hard for me to believe that such and intelligent and gifted man gives an imaginary friend credit for each success he has. If a patient dies, well, "It's god's will". I also read that he doesn't accept evolution. How can a brilliant scientist, who did research on rabbits not understand the essential essential concept of evolution? If you are religious, you will probably enjoy this book. As a non-believer, I got really tired of all the religious references. It would have been fine for him to mention his faith, but he beats you to death with it.
This book should be described and listed as a inspirational and religious book, as that is what it is. I'm sure Dr. Carson is a fine man and an excellent doctor, but he should stick to doctoring - or maybe start preaching.
"Not really "Linguistics" but a lot of fun"
Linguistics is one of my favorite topics and I have listened to and read many on the topic. I thought this book was going to be a serious study of the history of the alphabet. I was wrong, but more than pleasantly surprised. Each letter of the alphabet is the starting off point for each chapter, but then Michael Rosen takes you on a wonderful trip of language and delight after the serious stuff is over. Michael reads the book in his delightful accent and just has a lot of fun. He is more a comedian and storyteller than an academic - more to his credit. Highly recommend for a fun trip down the alphabet.
"Only for Dawkins' Fans"
I have been a great fan a Dawkins since I read The God Delusion - then I read all his other books, which was a treat as I am a science nut. I have also watched every video he has ever made that was available in the US. I was so excited to read his autobiography that I pre-ordered the physical book, plus the audible version. He and his wife do a masterful job of reading his work.
I hate to say, but I found this book a disappointment. It was rather boring - filled with the names of all his friends, mentors, teachers, etc. He mentions his first wife, Marion Stamp, only as a scientific collaborator, without a word about her personality or their relationship. It really was about the making of a scientist. Period.
I certainly didn't expect a class act like Dawkins to write a tell-all autobiography, but this was way too dry. Very few tidbits about about his personal life, pets, or other interests would have been a treat.
This book is for die hard Dawkins' fans only.
"An Intelligent non-sensational biography"
I became a born-again Stones fan after listening to Keith's 'Life". I was interested in reading Mick's autobiography, but I doubt if he ever will write one, and I wouldn't believe a word of it anyway.
I read all the reviews for the many Jagger bios, and this one got either horrible reviews or great ones.
I think the folks who gave it a horrible review were looking for a sensational sex and drugs scandalous book. This book is serious, slow paced, very well-written and carefully researched. The author has an excellent command of language and the narrator has a droll way of delivering the text.
It's just what i was looking for - not garbage, but a real attempt to write a quality book about this very interesting and complicated character
"A Gripping Masterpiece"
This is one of the most intelligent, expansive, and interesting books I have ever listened to - but it is not for everyone. It is very long and some of the topics are distressing, but gripping. I have no children special or otherwise, but I am a retired special ed teacher and have always wondered how people dealt with having a disabled child.
Mr. Solomon does not "talk down" to the reader. He expects his reader to be well-educated and with a good vocabulary. His Ivy League education, intelligence and literacy infuse each page. I'm so glad Mr. Solomon narrated his own book. His voice is a little hard to get used to, but I grew to love the sound of it - and grew to love him as well. Only he could inflect the voices of the people he interviewed. I'm glad I took the time to listen to it instead of reading it. Hearing it made the book great to me. I don't think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much if I had read it. Listening forces you to slow down and hear each word. I am a very fast reader and miss a lot of detail and beauty of language - listening to books has opened up a new world of literature for me, and this non-fiction book is written so beautifully that I'm glad I heard every word.
If you are interested in this subject, have the time to sink yourself deeply into a fascinating new world, I highly recommend this beautiful book.
"I can't believe I listened to the whole thing!"
I bought GWTW on sale, and since I enjoyed it 35 years ago, I thought it might be fun to listen to at least some of it since it was on sale for $4.95. I never thought I'd listen to all 50 hours of it, but I did. The narrator is excellent. She is a fine actress and all her characters had a unique personality and a believable accent. She even got the Rhett Butler character down perfect.
The book is far more historical fiction than the movie, and far more interesting. It is so much more than a love story between Scarlett and Rhett - it a visit to a totally different time with totally different mores and standards of behavior which seem silly to us now.
She glossed over a lot of the slave problem as all of the black characters were quite sympathetic and seemed to be loved as part of the family. Many of the black slaves were smarter than the white folks and actually had a lot of power in the families. I'm not sure how true that was in other homes, but I hope so.
I plan to do more studying of this interesting era to see how much Margaret Mitchell got right, but right or not it was a fun read.
"Watch the movie instead!"
I watched the movie "Shawshank Redemption years ago and loved it. Morgan Freeman was fantastic as the protagonist and he really made the movie great. They also changed the plot for the movie to make it more compact. I usually hate movies made from books, because the book is usually so much better. I won't usually even watch a movie based on a book I read until years later (if ever).
If Morgan Freeman had narrated the book, it might have worked. He didn't and it doesn't.
"This Book is Only for Hard Core Miles Davis Fans!"
I usually enjoy reading books by black artists who struggled with racism and a difficult life to achieve great success. I had heard of Miles and enjoyed his music over the years, but I knew nothing about him. One of the reasons I bought this book was the fantastic narrator, Dion Graham - one of my favorites. Dion somehow manages to sound like an old black musician with a gravely voice and dirty mouth. Dion has the talent to sound like almost anybody and can make a mediocre book great.
I listened to about two hours of this book and had to quit. Miles was a black child of well-off parents and lots of advantages. He worked hard at his music, is very gifted and he knows it. He comes off in this book as an unpleasant old man who manages to insert "mfer" into almost every paragraph. I'm not offended by bad language when it works in the book, but it gets tiresome in this one.
I like to be enlightened and educated by books like this, but I was bored by the tone and attitude of this gifted but unpleasant man. Give it a pass.
"Dion Graham channels Neil!"
Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of my favorite scientists and writers. He has his own style - smart, funny and educational. Neil has a very distinct personality and voice. When I listened to this audiobook, I couldn't believe that Neil himself wasn't reading it! I have listened to and watched just about everything Neil has said and know his voice very well. Listening to this book was a good as if Neil had read it.
If you are into astronomy and physics, and love a good laugh as well, this is the book for you!
"Best Author and Narrator Combination Ever!"
I read the "The Power of One" years ago, and thought it was one of the best novels I had ever read. I don't usually read novels unless they are set in another country or era that I can learn more about. I never forgot this book. When I listened to "Shantaram" I was so impressed with the narrator, Humphrey Bower, that I checked to see what else he had narrated. There was "The Power of One"! I instantly downloaded it and was not disappointed. Bower is the best narrator I have ever listened to. I enjoyed listening to this book even more that I did reading it. Bower gives each wonderful character in the book a distinct voice and personality. He can speak in almost any accent convincingly and with great emotion. This is a book that would probably be considered a book for men, as most of the characters are men, and boxing and considerable violence are embedded in the story. I hate boxing and violence, but as a female who loves a good listen, I would give this book/narrator combination ten stars if I could! Perfect!

Grocery Getups: Hula Dancer
Going to the supermarket takes on a whole new meaning when the goal is to look for ingredients for costumes. Who knew you could use ordinary household supplies to create Halloween haute couture?

These girls were transformed into hula dancers in one afternoon. Their leis are made of vibrantly colored gift bows; their swinging skirts, fashioned from rope-style mop heads. The dancer on the left is even a ukulele player; her instrument is made out of recycled cardboard cereal boxes, a paper-towel tube, and rubber bands.
- 2 rope-style mop heads
- 2-inch-wide cloth ribbon
- 1 pack gift bows
- 1 pair flip-flops
- 2 cereal boxes (1 small, 1 mini)
- 1 roll paper towels
- 1 box brass paper fasteners
Step 1
Cut two rope-style mop heads down their center seams to create four panels; line up side by side.
Step 2
Cut a piece of 2-inch-wide cloth ribbon the length of the panels, plus 12 inches on each side for tying.
Step 3
Using a hot-glue gun, apply glue to the edges of the panels; fold ribbon in half over edges.
Step 4
Cut ribbon to desired lengths for lei, headpiece, and bracelets. For lei, make about six evenly spaced crimps in ribbon, securing each with transparent tape so it will lie flat around neck.
Step 5
Affix self-adhesive gift bows in assorted sizes and colors to each ribbon; loop ribbons and secure ends with double-sided tape.
Step 6
3. Decorate flip-flops by affixing one large gift bow to the top of each strap.
Step 7
You'll need a small cereal box and a mini cereal box. Flatten boxes, cut along one side of each, and reassemble inside out using tape.
Step 8
Use a foam cup to trace a circle on the center of the small box; cut out with scissors or a utility knife. Attach 3 brass fasteners about 1 1/2 inches below hole.
Step 9
Cut 2 inches off one end of a paper-towel tube. Use the tube to trace one circle on the top of the small cereal box and another on the bottom of the mini cereal box; cut out.
Step 10
Attach three brass fasteners to the front of the mini cereal box. To connect boxes to tube, apply hot glue to inside edges of holes, and insert one end of tube in each. For strings, attach three long rubber bands to fasteners at both ends.

So if I wanted to make the dragon toddler costume where do I find a matching hat like that? And what's the best place to get the candy cups? Thanks!

Fabulous costume ideas but it woulld be great if the materials list include all the necessary mateials required. Both the Hula Dancers and the Knight costumes fail to list "Ribbon" until you read the instructions. I'm not Martha and don't have a gazillion craft supplies just lying around my dedicated "craft room."

OMG! This costume is a serious fire hazard! Plastic trash bag skirt? Why not just call it the Torch?

Santa Cruz Bicycles Highball Carbon R XC Complete Mountain Bike
Out of Stock
Item # SNZ000N
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Hardtail Bikes in stock than that.
Santa Cruz Bicycles Highball Carbon R XC Complete Mountain Bike $0.00
When you start with a highly refined chassis and mid-level parts, as resources and routine maintenance warrant upgrades, the opportunity exists to slowly and systematically unlock speed. Take this Santa Cruz Bicycles Highball Carbon R XC Complete Mountain Bike for an example.
It comes spec'd with an SLX 3x10 drivetrain, FOX FLOAT CTD Evo, and WTB i19 TCS wheels laced to Shimano hubs. All reliable and worthy components in their own right, but when it comes time switch drivetrain configurations to a one- or two-by, or you're able to spring for a carbon wheelset, you'll enjoy the experience of feeling those upgrades -- keep in mind that this is Santa Cruz's top-of-the-line race hardtail.
It possess the ability to push performance into a realm normally reserved for elite racers. We're talking pure speed here, not versatility -- that's where the less expensive and adaptable aluminum Highball comes into play. The Highball Carbon is a racer's rig that provides excellent handling dynamics, lively response, and energy-conserving dampening.
The secret to these appealing traits is the Highball's one-piece carbon layup and curing process -- as opposed to assembling joints that require bonding or wrapping. In structurally important locations like the head tube and bottom bracket, continuous fibers flow around the junctions and spread throughout the frame. The layers are compacted from the inside as they're applied, which eliminates voids, prevents delamination, and creates a smooth, stress-free interior with no waste. In short, it cuts excess material while making the frame stronger.
The resulting construction distributes lateral, vertical, and torsional loads throughout the frame in order to boost the Highball's ride quality. This design absorbs impact energy, while also efficiently and accurately transferring bio-inputs like steering and propulsion. Translated into trail talk, this means that the Highball loses nothing to flex when you stomp on the pedals, dampens high-speed trail chatter, and holds its line like a WRC champion.
To complement these inherent characteristics, without the need for a second job, you'll find Santa Cruz's R XC build. Starting out, a 100mm FOX FLOAT 32 CTD Evolution with a tapered steerer tube and the 15QR thru-axle ensures that the 29er's dreaded steering deflection is a thing of the past. The CTD damper provides three distinct settings: Climb, Trail, and Descend. Together, these setting create a simplified user experience and optimum performance, without demanding a degree in suspension dynamics.
The meat and potatoes of the R XC drivetrain consist of Shimano's unfailing 10-speed SLX components. The beauty of SLX is that you get XT/XTR trickle down technologies without the high cost of entry. A stiff Shimano Deore crank spins 24/32/42t chainrings which, through a HG75 chain, twists a HG81 11-36t cassette. The SLX trigger shifters' precise actuation quickly directs SLX derailleurs to the selected cog. Meanwhile, speed is kept in check with powerful Deore M615 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors.
For wheels, Santa Cruz hand laces WTB Frequency Team i19 TCS rims to Shimano M746 and M716 hubs with 14 gauge spokes. Maxxis Ikon tires provide an ideal balance of low rolling-resistance with traction. Finishing off the build are a Race Face Ride stem, bar, and seatpost, which has been topped with a WTB Volt Race saddle.
The Santa Cruz Highball Carbon R XC Complete Mountain Bike is available in four sizes from Medium to XX-Large and the colors Matte Carbon/green and Matte Carbon/dark silver.

I was talking with a brother after a meeting last night.
He was describing a situation he's going through and how angry he is with it. Something he'd been dealing with since before he came in.
Sounded like perfectly reaonable justifiable anger .... NORMALLY. Trying not to judge or work his program for him, I listened and told him I thought he outghta deal with his internal anger before trying to work out the mess and make it worse.
He kept insisting that his anger is justifiable and that, when he's dealing with it, he's displaying rational, non-emotional logic.
My alcoholic bullsht meter was trippin' out. It was obvious he's obsessing over it inside ... happy face or not.
I just asked, "How long have you been sober?"
"Two years." (I'm 6 months)
I yelled, "CRAP!" spun around and walked off cussin', flailing my arms.
"I'm gonna THRASH MY SPONSOR! Worked my AZZ OVER on 4 thru 7.
NOW I find out I coulda held onto my FAVORITE FRIGN RESENTMENTS !
OHyeah ... he heard me.
Well, it kinda felt good in a self-righteous sorta way. I had fun with it. But now I've got a humbility issue to work out. Oh, well ...
Got a minute, Lord? Gotta talk.

A nicely shaped, and usually freshly shaved vulva, typically characterized by large labia majora (outer lips) and small, if not invisible, labia minora (inner lips). A peach features absolutely no roast beef, and is considered by many men to be the ideal vulva for a woman.

Urban or Freudian allusion to a vulva. The juiciness, soft hair, and shape of the fruit obviously resemble the female vulva. Biting into a peach, with the consequent explosion of juices, is often invoked as a Freudian exposition of male (or female) libido.

Thanks Molli. I have to say Toe had 100% control over the coloring of the design and he did a fabulous job. I think he was able to get a retro-Hawaii feel with the colors. I was blown away when he sent the picture to me late last night. In case it's not totally apparent, the Luau girl is resting on blades of grass like a grass skirt. She's wrapped in a Hawaiian dress and the backdrop is supposed to represent a large clamshell. Hibscus-esque petals were placed behind here almost to make her look like a fairy. There are other details as well, but probably don't need explanation. Thanks again for the vote. I'm excited to see what Toe does with the other sketch. Can hardly wait!

text: I noticed that you used a 1,000 watt psu for your dual quad core test build. Was this choice primarily due to Tyan recommending this psu or did you expect your configuration to require that much power? I'm curious because I have a similar board (the i5400pw) and prospective build (the only difference is I will be using a little more RAM; most likely closer to 32gb)and want to make sure I will be properly powering it. I won't be doing any hardcore gaming or anything video intensive but I will be utilizing the cpus for memory heavy calculations that will be running 24/7 for extended periods of time. I suppose the only reason I am even considering the issue is the potential extra heat/cooling issues that might come along with a very large psu.

Hey all,
Been months since I've logged on.... All's well on my end and I hope everyone's keeping the faith!!!
I've scanned the sponsor section briefly and, while I'm sure it's in here somewhere, I was hoping someone had a few good suggestions.
I've got a new sponsee who refuses to follow a "simple program." He's got 30+ days (coming back, again)...at his request, I've talked to his employer who demands that he come to a meeting everyday (he doesn't...always an excuse...tired...back hurts...etc.) He's batting about 50% on things I've asked him to do.
My 32-year-sober sponsor says to move on to the next person, which I will do. I just wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions or experiences in how to handle these things. Dallas????
Muchas Gracias...

Takeda is in the teeth of a steep patent cliff, with Prevacid bleeding share and Actos, which accounts for half of US sales, set to lose exclusivity in August. The Japanese firm hopes to overcome these headwinds via its "Transformation into a New Takeda" plan, which includes a new R&D hub in Shonan, streamlining the US sales force (by 1,400 US jobs in 2010 and another 700, announced in January) and acquisitions like last year's $13.7-billion deal for European pharma Nycomed and this year's $800-million deal for URL Pharma, while reaching beyond its heritage in metabolic, oncology (Millennium) and CNS to immunology and inflammation. And the company hopes to grow US sales of Prevacid follow-on Dexilant, Daliresp for COPD, Uloric for gout, cancer drug Velcade and antihypertensive Edarbi. Two late-stage candidates, obesity drug Contrave and DPP-4 inhibitor alogliptin, have run into FDA roadblocks. * Global revenue and R&D spend are based on the financial year ending March 31, 2011, the latest data available at press time.

Yes, it works perfectly. I'm not sure why one of the reviews suggests that it doesn't, however, I assure you it works fine.

GM Races Tesla to 200-mile "Affordable" EV With Battery Lab Expansion

Volt is the top PHEV seller; GM is the global king of vehicle sales
Riding high on its best sales in 7 years, General Motors Comp. (
) is investing deeply into research and development. The company is striving to deliver on its promise to put 500,000 hybrids, plug-in hybrids electric vehicle (PHEVs), and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) on the road by 2017.
I. GM Guns for 200 Mile EV
Doug Parks, VP of global product development at GM, on Monday reiterated GM's march promise to deliver an electrified vehicle that could travel
200 miles on a charge
. Moreover it wants to sell that car at $30,000 USD.
GM didn't clarify whether this figure included the $7,500 USD subsidy EVs currently obtain. It also didn't mention what year it was hoping to release this in-development vehicle in, what form factor it would fall in (e.g. sedan or subcompact), and whether it would be all electric (although given the range, this seems a likely possibility).
GM unveiled an expansion to its battery testing lab in Mich. this week. [Image Source: GM]
Still any way you slice it this would be a huge leap forward for GM; such an EV would have the potential to win over even some hardened critics.
Tom Libby, lead North American analyst for the Polk automotive research firm told the
Associate Press
, "That would be a huge step forward, no question."
II. World's Top Automaker is Seeing Record Sales
It's an ambitious goal for a company who still has the ugly image of
its 2009 Chapter 11 bankruptcy
in its rear view mirror. Today, the U.S. government -- which took a 61 percent stake in GM in exchange for
wiping out its outstanding debt
and helping to
reorganize it into a leaner company
-- still holds 19 percent of the resulting firm, having sold roughly two thirds of its stock
in a 2010 IPO
and subsequent stock sales. GM in 2008, 2009, and 2010 was the world's second best selling automaker, but since 2011 has taken hold of first place in sales.
GM is currently the top-selling automaker in the U.S., and posted terrific sales for the month of August 2013,
selling 275,847 vehicles
. GM posted an impressive 14.7 percent sales growth although
second place Toyota
Motor Corp. (
and Nissan Motor Comp.
, Ltd. (
) posted even bigger percentage growths on a year-to-year basis.
The Chevrolet Volt is the world's top selling PHEV. [Image Source: GM]
On a year-to-year basis as of June 2013 GM sold
4.85 million vehicles
overseas and 1.64 million vehicles in the U.S. GM EVs --
the Chevy Volt sedan
and Chevy Spark EV subcompact sold 24,467 units -- or roughly half a percent of global sales (~0.5 percent).
The Volt debuted in concept vehicle form back at the January 2007 North American International Auto Show and continued to roll towards the market in following years, surviving GM's bankruptcy, and
hitting the streets in pre-production form
in 2009. In Dec. 2010 the 2011 Chevy Volt -- which features
a battery pack assembled at a factory in Michigan
officially went on sale
, with a range of 38 miles on battery (after which the gasoline engine takes over).
Despite the Volt's promise it's been a bit of a bumpy ride since 2010.
III. Volt has Turned the Corner Sales-Wise, But Struggles With Losses
In late 2011 the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA), a sub-agency of the
U.S. Department of Transportation
(DoT) launched an investigation into
fires with the Chevy Volt's lithium-ion battery pack
. GM was subsequently
forced to testify before Congress
about the potential fire risks. A combination of factors -- the vehicle's slightly high price point, concerns about its electric range, and the fire controversy -- culminated in
weak sales throughout 2011 and much of 2012
Volt sales are up on a year-to-year basis, but GM continues to struggle with production costs. [Image Source: GM]
Since then sales have risen. By June 2013 GM had achieve year-to-year sales of 24,400+ units. But as much as bad sales were a blow to GM's brand image, stronger sales of the flagship EV were bad news for GM's pocketbook.
Where as Tesla Motor Inc. (
has achieved profitability
on its electric vehicles by selling them at
much higher price points to the luxury sports car market
, GM has admitted in the past to swallowing an undisclosed loss on every Chevy Volt it sells. The 2011 and 2012 Chevy Volt model years were priced at $39,999 -- or $32,249 USD after the $7,500 USD government tax credit. Tesla's current all-electric Model S starts at $71,000 -- nearly twice the price of the Volt -- but delivers an industry-leading 265 miles on a charge.
While August's price from $40K
down to $35K USD ($27.5K USD after tax credit)
cut drove sales up to
a record 3,351 units
for the month, they also mean GM is losing $5,000 more on each vehicle. Tesla meanwhile is
shipping roughly 2,000 Model S units a month
, while making a profit on every one (Tesla predicts selling
20,000 Model S luxury sedans in 2013
GM's only all electric -- the 2013 Spark EV --
went on sale in June
a range of 82 miles
. Partially due to a very limited release it sold only 27 units (reportedly) that month, and July sales weren't much better at 103 units [
]. The subcompact features
impressive acceleration
and is priced at an aggressive $32, 495 USD ($24,995 USD after the tax credit).
The Spark EV has sold poorly.
Still that's more expensive than Nissan's LEAF S EV, which
retails for $28,800 USD
($21,300 USD after tax rebate). The LEAF
has seen rampant demand
since its price cut last January (a $6,000 cut from the original price of $35,200 USD).
The 2013 LEAF
has a slightly worse range at an EPA estimate 75 miles.

To GM's credit its Volt sales do look especially impressive when compared to Toyota's
2012 Prius Plug-in
sales of 12,750 units. Toyota plans to launch
a next generation Prius hybrid and Prius PHEV in 2015
The Prius PHEV has been unable to keep up with the Volt in sales. [Image Source: response.jp]
Toyota's plug-in retails for $32,000 USD -- $3,000 USD cheaper than the Volt -- but gets a much weaker 11 mile range (less than a third the Volt's range) in EV mode. Buyers clearly are mixed on this tradeoff.
IV. Tesla v. GM -- the Race is On
In order to reach its goal of an affordable 200 mile EV, GM is aggressively pursuing battery development.
It's added
an additional 50,000 square feet to the previously 35,000 square foot Global Battery Systems Lab at its technical center in Warren, Mich. Doug Parks remarks:
In the past four years, the competitive landscape in the electrification space has grown exponentially. This has required us to raise our game and draw a new line in the sand. To maintain our battery leadership, this additional real estate is filled with new capability that will help us improve speed to market for our next generation of battery systems and help us improve the value equation to our customers around the world.
The expansion nearly doubles the pack testing sites at the facility. [Image Source: GM]
GM's efforts are already starting to pay off. It bumped its Chevy Volt's range by 3 miles in 2013 solely by battery improvements. The new facilities nearly double GM's full pack test channels from 64 to 112, while cell level channels are bumped from 96 to 120 units.
The world's biggest automaker will have to move fast, though. Tesla is also eyeing its first try at an affordable mass-market EV. Tesla in May promised
a sub-$40,000 USD EV in 3 to 4 years
with a range identical to GM's proposed one -- 200 miles.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also pledged affordable 200 mi. EVs. [Image Source: Sparked Minds]
Tesla's iconic CEO Elon Musk recently commented to the press, "With the Model S, you have a compelling car that's too expensive for most people. And you have the Leaf, which is cheap, but it's not great. What the world really needs is a great, affordable electric car. I'm not going to let anything go, no matter what people offer, until I complete that mission."

RE: Needs to be built from ground up
Tesla S is so heavy because, on the 85 watt model, the batteries weigh about a thousand pounds. With currently technology you're not going to get around that. You can have a lighter car... with less batteries. Which gets you less range...
"We can't expect users to use common sense. That would eliminate the need for all sorts of legislation, committees, oversight and lawyers." -- Christopher Jennings

Integrating BTM with Hibernate
Hibernate can be integrated straight with any JTA transaction manager. These instructions have been verified against BTM 1.2 and Hibernate 3.2.6.
The biggest added value (omitting the fact that you can use Hibernate and two databases) is Hibernate's Current Session context management with JTA. You do not have to take care about opening nor closing Session
as Hibernate will automatically bind them to the JTA transaction's lifecycle. You just have to make sure JTA transactions are properly started and ended.
JTA datasources
Hibernate cannot directly create a BTM PoolingDataSource
. You will have to create them yourself (either via the API or the Resource Loader) and make sure they are bound to a JNDI server.
Setting up a JNDI server
You have to bind the datasources to some JNDI server. You can use any one you wish, including the one embedded in your application server.
In the case you want to run Hibernate in a standalone application, you can use Tomcat's JNDI server as it is very easy to use it in a standalone J2SE application. Just create a jndi.properties
file at the root of your classpath. It should only contain this line:
Then add these two jar files to your classpath:
They are available in any Tomcat 5.5 distribution, just look into the TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib
This will configure Tomcat's JNDI server as the default implementation. It is a simple intra-VM server that implements the most important JNDI features. You can now just create a InitialContext with the no-args constructor to have access to it.
API way: Creating the datasources
As you can expect, you will need to create one PoolingDataSource
per database. Say that you want to use two Embedded Derby databases, and configure them via the BTM API. Here is what your code would look like:
Finally, here is the code to bind the datasources:
Resource Loader way: Creating the datasources
You can use BTM's Resource Loader instead of the BTM API. It is usually a good idea when you want to create a fully standalone application as you can get rid of the datasources creation, JNDI binding and shutdown code.
Create a datasources.properties
file in the current directory containing these properties:
In your application code, you will have to configure BTM to use the resource loader:
This has the exact same behavior as creating the PoolingDataSource
objects and binding them to JNDI yourself. It is just more convenient.
Hibernate Session factories
You need to configure exactly one SessionFactory
per datasource.
Datasource JNDI location
You have to tell Hibernate where to get the BTM datasource via JNDI. Add a connection.datasource property and set its value to the JNDI location of your datasource:
Current session context
You have to set current_session_context_class to jta
Transaction factory class
You have to set transaction.factory_class to org.hibernate.transaction.JTATransactionFactory.
Transaction manager lookup class
You have to set transaction.manager_lookup_class to an implementation of TransactionManagerLookup that you have to create yourself. Here is an example implementation if this interface:
Then add this property:
SessionFactory XML configuration files
Here is what the hibernate_testDS1.cfg.xml
file will look like for the first datasource. Some other mandatory properties also have to be added, like the dialect
, cache.provider_class
and of course the required object mappings.
And here is the hibernate_testDS2.cfg.xml
for the second datasource:
End result
Now that Hibernate and BTM are properly configured, you can simply use the JTA and Hibernate APIs in your application.
Application code
Here is what your code will look like when you want to update the content of both databases atomically:
Say that persistUser()
creates a new user, in no way will a user be created in one database and not in the other.
You can download a sample runnable application putting these explanations in practice. It contains all the code that has been skipped for clarity in this page. Both the API and Resource Loader ways are implemented so you can try both and see which one you prefer.
You can download this demo here: HibernateBTM.zip.
There is an ant build.xml file included as well as a the necessary batch and shell scripts required to run the application from Windows or Unix.
Before you run the application, you have to create the Derby database. Just run the included derby-create.sh or derby-create.bat script to do so, it will create two directories called users1 and users2. Then you can start the demo by either running run_api.sh or run_api.bat for the API version, run_rl.sh or run_rl.bat for the Resource Loader version.
Here is the list of JAR files with version required to run this demo. They're all included in the downloadable ZIP file.

Epic Fail.
Phoronix: Epic Games Provides No Hope For UT3 On Linux
With Valve's Steam client and Source Engine coming to Linux in the coming months, we decided to check with Epic Games to see how Unreal Tournament 3 for Linux is coming along. After all, the game was released in November of 2007 and nearly three years later the client is still missing with few words having come from Epic Games or Ryan Gordon (a.k.a. "Icculus"), the well known Linux game porter that was contracted to port UT3 to Linux and has done previous Unreal Engine projects...
Epic Fail.
do these games continue to be any fun? I mean how much have things *really* changed from ut -> ut2003/ut2004 -> ut3?
Ryan Gordon ported Aquaria recently, saying that he "hasn't been working on any other exciting games or projects" is pretty rude.
very advanced Source Engine
It's a joke, Source Engine was advanced only once it was out, 3 yo Crysis engine is far more advanced in almost every aspect.
Steam ==>it's the same to UT3
Steam is NOT OFFICIAL !
So it simple means we havo to cough up our own games.
I have an idea, completely worked out on my head, from the story, the levels and the artwork to the available tech. It's fun, never been done, interesting, would work on a Radeon with the current Gallium tech, look good, is not an FPS and would not require a lot of work involving artwork. It could be of commercial quality and does not involve raytracing.
Sadly I am not experienced and currently in the midst of my exams...
I for one am glad they finally admitted it, though I wasn't holding my breath. I would have liked to see a legit reason why though, but I can understand NDA's. Fortunately when Steam/Source are released, I don't think anybody will care about Epic's Games.
