Landacorp Posts Second Consecutive Record Quarter.
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2000
Landacorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:LCOR), a leading provider of business-to-business Internet-based and other electronic medical management solutions to health plan and healthcare delivery organizations, today reported record results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2000.
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2000 increased 30% to $3.3 million from revenues of $2.5 million in the corresponding period of 1999. This increase was achieved despite changing the revenue model for health plan sales to a subscription basis this year from a perpetual license fee basis for 1999, which reduces the amount of recognizable revenue in this period compared to 1999. The Company reported a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.09 per share in the second quarter of 2000, compared with a net loss of $240,000, or $0.20 per share in the corresponding period of 1999. Excluding stock-based compensation and goodwill, the Company reported a net loss of $533,000, or $0.04 per share in the second quarter of 2000. (Note: The consensus estimate of a net loss of $0.06 per share excludes the stock-based compensation and goodwill, and should be compared with the reported net loss of $0.04 per share.) This compares with a net profit of $240,000, or $0.20 per share in the corresponding period of 1999.
Total revenues for the first half of 2000 increased 22% to $5.7 million from revenues of $4.7 million in the corresponding period of 1999. Again, this increase is despite the change made in revenue recognition for health plan sales, as described above. The Company reported a net loss of $3.2 million, or $0.30 per share in the first half of 2000, compared with a net loss of $0.9 million, or $0.81 per share in the corresponding period of 1999. Excluding stock-based compensation, goodwill and a one-time IPO-related bonus payment, the Company reported a net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.16 per share in the first half of 2000. This compares with a net profit of $93,000 or $0.08 per share in the corresponding period of 1999.
Another Record Performance
"Once again I am pleased to report that we have beaten our planned results," said Landacorp President and CEO, Gene Cattarina. "In fact, not only have we exceeded expectations, we equaled analysts' revenue targets and surpassed their consensus earnings per share projections by 33%. We have also posted the best quarter in Landacorp's 18-year history.
"Yet, while our performance was positive and we are progressing according to plan, these achievements continue in the face of adjusting to the new subscription-based health plan revenue model. This is not an easy adjustment and the second half of the year will be challenging," noted Mr. Cattarina. "I do not want to create the expectation that we will continue at this pace. The third and fourth quarters will largely depend on the consummation and timing of significant contracts and other initiatives.
"Among the highlights for the quarter were the signing of the Raritan Bay Medical Center agreement and the announcement of our contract with Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina," added Mr. Cattarina. "These are important clients who reinforce Landacorp's leadership in both the hospital and managed care markets. And we continue to make progress in our strategic alliance with Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) as we work to bring our products together.
"I'm also pleased to announce that during July, we created our Advanced Products Group, or APG," continued Mr. Cattarina. "Based in Chico, the APG's focus is new product development and alternative delivery modes utilizing emerging technologies and tools. The APG is a critical function that we believe will keep us ahead of the curve, and positioned and extremely competitive in what will undoubtedly continue to be a rapidly evolving healthcare information technology environment.
"The APG's first undertaking is completing the process of evolving our product lines to an entirely web-based solution," said Mr. Cattarina. "This will allow their delivery via an application service provider (ASP) model-- a significant trend and revenue opportunity for us. As one of the pre-eminent developers and providers of medical management solutions with over 160 sites currently using our proven products, we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on this opportunity.
"The APG and this initial project are, of course, not without expense," added Mr. Cattarina. "However, we hope to offset these costs with savings in other areas of the company."

What is the Financial Services Club
What is the Future of Financial Services? The financial services industry is changing, and changing fast. For many banks and insurance firms, keeping up with change is a full-time occupation. The raft of new legislation, new technology, new competition and new products is a continually challenging cycle.
Is there an easier way? Of course. You could subscribe to thousands of magazines, websites or journals to get the very latest in Political, Economic, Social and Technological change. Alternatively, you could come to one place. A meeting place. A meeting of minds. A meeting of like-minded individuals.
What is the Financial Services Club? The Financial Services Club is a unique service aimed at Senior Executives and Decision Makers from banks, insurance companies, technology firms, consultancies ... in fact, any firm that is interested in understanding and planning for the future operating environment for the UK Financial Services markets.
Is this just another Club? Not at all. The Financial Services Club bridges the gap between today and tomorrow. It allows you to network with hundreds of professionals all sharing a common interest in the future of the industry. The Club over 50 events a year, in a number of different European countries, with keynote speakers and luminaries from the industry airing their views on the future of financial services.

I know that this has been talked about before but some times you have to ask your self why this man http://news.sky.com/home/uk-news/article/16120107 by law can't ask for help to end his life.
I for one would not like to be in his position and have to be cared for every hour of the day, I know after having a bad accident and having to rely on other people to do certain things for me for 12 months how frustrating and humiliating it can get.
If I had a dog and allowed it to live with the same condition as he has I would be called all sorts of names and most likely prosecuted for it.

It's so much easier with a dog, we have different rules and attitudes. I have no problem taking a dog that's in it's final months to the vets for the final time and not wasting money on veterinary care that won't justify the cost. I've known from day one it will come to that.
But it's just not so simple with people that have the power of reason, whether it be the sufferer, or the family. I don't know the answer.

I think there's two major problems that need to be overcome before the taboo subject of euthanasia can be discussed, and perhaps legalised.
Firstly, it is still illegal for anyone to help a person commit suicide, and this includes knowingly giving the person the means to end their life.
Secondly, who makes the decision? What if someone is in a lot of pain, and wants to die, but has no means to communicate this with the outside world? If we let the family make the decision what's to stop people using this to get rid of a relative who is in a coma but it's not terminal, and they're not suffering?
There's one other major obstacle though, and I think this one is probably the hardest one to solve, and that's simple selfishness.
Think of it this way, your dog is suffering, you can legally take it to the vet and have it's life ended with the minimum of additional pain, but that would mean removing a major part of your life. Even though the dog is in real pain, you don't want to lose it. Now magnify that to a parent, or sibling or child - they're suffering horribly in bed, but you don't want to lose that part of your family...

And you know why they shoot horses?
It's because once it's broken a leg the horse is no longer profitable for the owner and instead becomes a financial burden.
The same is true for racing greyhounds...

I was thinking more of the outstanding novel/film of the same name, which to quote Anita Sethi,
"Survival is all in the harsh world evoked in Horace McCoy's slim yet thematically weighty 1935 novel set in America's Great Depression. How far a human being will go to stay alive is the question at the heart of the unflinching narrative which draws on the author's own experience as a struggling movie extra, and was made into a 1969 film starring the Oscar-nominated Jane Fonda. Little wonder that book became a favourite among French existentialists."

alan14 if you think about the reason why horses are put down it is due to several reasons, first one being to try to move a horse that weights the best part of 700- 800 kg, second reason , a horse would have to be in a sling to take it's weight for the better part of 3 months while healing took place.
It's not just due to financial reasons, I have seen people who have spent thousands in vets bills to try and keep their horse alive, me being one of them.
But there does come a time when you can no longer see any animal suffer.

If you read my first post you'll see I totally agree that if an animal is suffering then it's only right that we should be able to end it's suffering, and the same is true for humans.
My point about horses, and more specifically race horses, is that there is no reason to shoot them on the race track when they break a leg, just as there's no reason to hang a greyhound from a tree when it's finished racing. The decision is purely financial, and this is completely wrong - and something that needs to be thought about if euthanasia is made legal for people. Do we turn off the life support, or fill the drip bag with morphine just because it gets too expensive to keep a person alive...

| forever fan chapter 1 . 4/9/2012
A very insightful view into the Figalilly family. I really like Uncle David and am wondering about wishes of the deceased mother and father being at odds regarding Trelawney's future. Nice description of the traditional patriarchal family structure.
Also a lovely way to continue to weave faith throughout all of these stories. And the image of the rainbow at the funeral was simply beautiful. So true that the departed never really leave us.
Great job as usual. Looking forward to the next three stories!

Bob, it came out sideways so I've rotated it for you. I think it's a type of cherry - possibly an edible one as my one year old Stella looks like that right now.
Too small to be vine weevil which curl into a C shape when disturbed. It is fungus gnat larvae I think. Google that and you get this image:
RHS advice here:
Depends on how much foliage it has - too much and what little roots are left will not be able to cope. If that's the case the answer is to cut the plant back. If we knew which plant, we could give more specific advice.
That looks fantastic, Justin!
It is usually snails which cause damage to clematis buds. They are adept climbers and the best way to catch them is by going out at night armed with a torch.
Hi Fluffy, they really need to be left to die back naturally as the leaves are building up the bulb for next year's flowers. Once the leaves die back you can lift them. Many folk (me included) leave them in the ground, but it's best to plant them 6 to 8 inches deep if you do that. Some folk treat them as annuals and discard them after flowering, especially if planted in pots. I think that's what you have effectively done, albeit by accident!
There is no one answer to how long they live - I have some that have been in the ground for 30 years and come back every year (plain red and plain yellow ones), but most of the fancy ones I buy rarely do well the following year.
Try clearing 'cookies' in your web browser. Sometimes doing that this fixes those sorts of issues.
Yes, it can also increase bushiness and so produce more flowers.

Not in this country (apart from DovesFromAbove ) - red lily beetle is an invader from overseas. Generally birds won't go for any red insects - it's an evolved warning colour which says "I'm poisonous or taste nasty!"
I also did my Michaelmas Daisies although I've been removing a lot of those as they are`rather invasive here.

They moved my cheese. At a minimum, they moved my cheesy mug shot.
The Lima News reorganized its printed paper this week. Today marks the first day my column appears on the Lifestyle cover instead of its old home on the second page of the front section.
I can assure you that based on feedback, some people weren't too happy we moved things around in the newspaper this week. They weren't too thrilled when we unveiled tweaks to our website later in the week either. Change can be a scary thing. Dr. Spencer Johnson covers this in his well-known book, "Who Moved My Cheese?" This book resonates on so many levels this week, especially the line, "I want things to be the way they were."
I know it's been scary for me. In my day job of scheduling what stories we'll cover and run in the newspaper, I'd grown very comfortable with my old formulas for how much of what we needed for the front cover or the cover of the region section. Having to re-think all that isn't reassuring at all.
Similarly, moving this column felt a little scary. My musings had been in the same place in the newspaper since it started as a monthly column in 2006. They were in the same place when it became an every-other-week-affair in 2009. And they'd lived in that same spot every Sunday since early 2011.
I've had my words printed on nearly every page of The Lima News over my nearly 15-year career here. Why should moving to the Sunday page once graced by longtime Lifestyle columnist Kim Kincaid feel any different than having to fill the spot once dominated by longtime news columnist Mike Lackey?
That fear seems pretty irrational once you really start thinking about it. Why are we so afraid of change? Why do we think how it was is the only way it should be?
"Change is meant to bring something different, but how different?" wrote Rosabeth Moss Kanter, a professor at Harvard Business School, on the Harvard Business Review's website. "We are creatures of habit. Routines become automatic, but change jolts us into consciousness, sometimes in uncomfortable ways."
Torben Rick, a senior executive in Europe, expresses on his blog why he thinks people resist the unknown so much: Fear.
"People will only take active steps toward the unknown if they genuinely believe — and perhaps more importantly, feel - that the risks of standing still are rgeater than those of moving forward in a new direction," he wrote.
And frankly, most of us never feel terribly motivated to move at all, much less in a new direction. A study by Guarav Suri and colleagues from Stanford University and Tel Aviv Universities, published in "Psychological Science," showed just how much pain people would take to do nothing. In the study, people willingly accepted light electric shocks. They were told they could press a button to shorten the length of the shocks, and only 40 percent hit the button.
In another portion of that sutdy, people were told they could reduce their risk of shock by as much as 90 percent if they pressed the button. Still, people only pressed the button half the time.
"The studies show that — when faced with a choice that requires them to make a proactive decision — people often opt to do nothing, even when actions that are easy to perform could noticeably improve their current state," wrote Dr. Peter Zafirides in a 2013 post to his "The Healthy Mind" website.
Scientists call that the "Status Quo Bias." We think things are better the way they are than how they could be.
When we do willingly make changes, it's on our terms.
I love change when it comes to technology. I enjoy trying out new gadgets. I like trying out new programs to solve old problems in new ways.
Then again, those are decisions I'm willingly making. It's harder when change is forced upon us.
I make no promises things are going to be any better. My perception of whether things are better or worse are really irrelevant, since it's up to each of us to decide if everything in our lives is better or worse.
Oddly enough, I'm pondering a quote from Stefano, the dim-witted Italian sea lion in the animated movie, "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted." His thoughts about his new friends leaving apply just as well to how we feel about most changes in our lives. "The way it used to be isn't the way it was," Stefano said in the movie. "And it won't be the same without them … Whatever way it is."
I do know things keep changing, and you can never go back in time to the way they were. Perhaps "Who Moved My Cheese?" expresses it best: "The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you can enjoy new cheese."

Vieria leaving, Lauer staying at `Today' show
It's been a period of tumult on the network morning shows. CBS announced Monday that David Friedman, executive producer of "The Early Show," would be leaving after less than two years on the job. The show had already completely revamped its on-air talent over the winter.
On the second-place "Good Morning America" on ABC, new lifestyle anchor Lara Spencer started about the same time Vieira was making her announcement on Monday. The show's new newsreader, Josh Elliott, began last week. The show also changed executive producers in February, and ABC News as a division also has a new leader.
No morning show change would be bigger than a departure by Lauer, whose contract ends at the end of next year.
He acknowledged some partnership conversations with Couric, with whom he co-hosted "Today" between 1997 and 2006. But, Lauer said, "it turned out to be just talk."
"I love this job," he said. "I love this place. I'm going to be here for a while."
That left Capus with a smile. He said he's already begun talking with Lauer about the future. Capus and Vieira also both said they'd like her to continue with occasional appearances on "Today."

This is also, in general, a full-circle move. In 1973, the NCAA changed from four-year to one-year scholarships. In 2012, Division I schools were (narrowly) given the option of awarding multiyear scholarships.
At that time, the Division I Board of Directors proposed the idea of multiyear scholarships and put the plan to a vote. The NCAA announced that 62.12 percent of schools voted against the plan, but 62.5 percent was needed to override the legislation, so it went into practice.
Alabama, Florida, Auburn and Ohio State are among the high-profile programs that have decided, since 2012, to award multiyear scholarships. In the Pac-12 Conference, Arizona State is the only school publicly known to have shifted to the multiyear model.
During spring practice in 2012, UCLA coach Jim Mora announced that seven players would lose their scholarships so the team could get under the NCAA-mandated total of 85.
Two months later, UCLA announced that two players had taken medical retirements, two had transferred, one had left because of a "coach's decision" and that two incoming freshmen would delay enrollment.
"Now that USC has done this," Zimbalist said, "I don't think there's any question that you'll see it spreading like wildfire in the Pac-12."
USC's policy change impacts only football and men's and women's basketball, not any of its other 18 programs such as baseball, water polo and volleyball. Those teams remain under the one-year renewable program, although schools such as Northwestern have moved to four-year scholarships for all teams.

Navy testing PTSD injection treatment
Tuesday - 12/13/2011, 10:00pm EST
The Navy is taking a different look at curing post-traumatic stress disorder.
A doctor says he has developed an injection for the neck that can cure PTSD, Wired reports .
However, while the Pentagon has turned down Dr. Eugene Lipov four times for research funding, the Navy now says it's going to give it a test run.
Capt. Anita Hickey, the director of Integrative Pain Medicine at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego has received $100,000 to test Dr. Lipov's method.

We reserved here, expecting water/30 amp hookup, to discover that the park had been overbooked, and we could get 15 amp connection at a distance, and water shared with the next site (because the person who took our reservation didn't communicate with the hosts, and a family reunion had been booked for all sites a year ahead). We chose to fill our fresh water tank and had sufficient for our stay, and our nightly rate was reduced from $29. The hosts were great, the campground was tidy, washrooms clean. It's a little rustic and lacks the convenience of wi-fi, but overall it was a nice place to stay. - Peg.Garry
May 2013 - $25.00
Friendly staff. Fire rings available for $5/night but fire wood is free. A little hidden gem but with limited services, which opened our eyes to small municipal sites operated by service clubs. Wonderful ducks in the creek. Shortly after we left however, Lumby flooded from spring run off, so watch for rain and flood warnings. We would stay there again. - Snoet

Very pretty campground. Lots of play areas for kids, just be careful for the gopher holes. Great area for boats and water activities. Remember to bring your own firewood, because for 6.00 a bundle you don't get very much. - Chicket
Jun 2009 - $15.00
This park is way off the beaten path - 36 km from Lumby, the last few kilometers are gravel. Plan to take everything you will need for your entire stay. The Marina store has very few supplies. The sites are rather small and close together. We were lucky to find a nice site for our 36' fifth wheel but there weren't too many that size. The overflow area was very crowded every night. A very few sites have lake frontage. The park was very crowded and very noisy with loud trucks pulling boat trailers. Most people are there to use their boats and fish. There is a playground, sandy beach and trails. No sites can be reserved but they can be "saved" with a boat trailer or vehicle parked on them. Park attendants were helpful in finding a site. - mvano

Lama Surya Das
"Wisdom: An Endangered Natural Resource" by Lama Surya DasVia The Huffington Post, the most recent article by Lama Surya Das, Can you tell me What is Wisdom while standing on one leg? This was the challenge put to a rabbi of old. King Solomon said that wisdom was the knowledge and judgment to know right from wrong. He received his vaunted wisdom from God in a dream; would that we too had such dreams! "Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for he is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold." -- Proverbs 3:13 The Talmud says that the wisest among men is he who learns from all. My father's view on the subject was that it would be wise if I did what he said and didn't say what he did. Wisdom is as wisdom does. More »

Staff Correspondent
HOSPET (BELLARY DISTRICT): The Hospet-based Vijayanagar Citizens' Forum has stressed the need for the Hampi Kannada University to play an active role in promoting research on the Vijayanagar empire. This would throw more light on the history of the period and help preserve its remains.
Speaking to presspersons here on Friday, J.R. Ramamurthy, coordinator of the forum said that the University should expand its reach by interacting more with the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and the Department of Archaeology and Museums in its endeavour to promote research. Stating that the University had tremendous scope for growth, he said that it would be possible only when the government gave it continued support.

16-year-old Pune girl, who is on an exchange programme in Denmark, says the thought of returning to the city gives her goosebumps
Fear…tears…anger…helplessness...goosebumps…sorrow and many more are the feelings I went through within a moment. I am Avani Awasthee, aged 16 from Vidya Valley School, Pune (The Oxford of East) on an exchange programme in Denmark for the past nine months. I live with a host family consisting of teenagers.
These are the thoughts and feelings I am experiencing after hearing about the most shameful and ridiculous incident that took place in Pune not very long back.
I was scrolling through my Whatsapp list, while I realised that quite a few have had their display pictures completely black with the status mentioning 'JUSTICE SHOULD BE GIVEN'. I was puzzled, I didn't know what was going on. I immediately found out that this was in support of the innocent 4-year-old girl who was recently sexually abused in Pune. I was stunned!! I didn't know how to react.
I am at Denmark, thousands of miles away from that mess, but I couldn't help myself from writing this down. I will be returning back to Pune next month. I was extremely excited to get back, until now. The single thought of coming back scares me. I was under the impression that Pune is one of the safest places to be in India. This has just proved me wrong. I am scared…upset…angry… with an extreme feeling of helplessness.
When I ask people what they think of, when they come across the word INDIA, people say things like curry…elephants…colours...spices but not to single out, also rape. I am often asked the question "Isn't rape very common in your country?" The disgust, the sadness, the anger that arises within me is much more than words could help me express. I don't want to be ashamed to be called an Indian. To mention a recent incident, a middle-aged Danish woman was raped in Delhi, after which not a single Dane wished to visit India; this isn't exaggeration.
I certainly think it's time to make a change!! Not just talk about it, but also do something!!!!
What the Danes say...
It's quite horrifying. This makes me uncomfortable to be around Indian men. We had often heard that it was only Delhi where something like this happens. From what we had heard that Pune was a safe city, this contradicts that completely. The poor 4-year-old girl, that defenceless little soul couldn't even do anything to save herself from it. I am very sad that this is still happening even after several cases have been already reported.
- Sarah Sander (17); Rungsted Gymnasium (High School)
This incident took place on a school bus or after a ride where the students should feel safe. The bus driver should be trusted, but couldn't live up to the expectations. This is not a very good sign and shows that safety is not at its best.
--Matias Hall (17); Rungsted Gymnasium
It's really difficult to understand what goes on in that man's head when he does something like that. I wonder how someone can do that. Sometimes a man does that to show his power or masculinity, but in this case, she is just 4-year-old! What was he possibly thinking? It is so scary and unfair. An action should be taken and justice should be given at its earliest. It is not about an Indian or a Dane, it is about the mindset, the mentality that needs to be changed.
Gitte Sander (Host Mum)
Being raped in environments that are supposed to be safe, seems to me like a horrifying nightmare! But it hasn't changed that I am looking forward to go to India. Tragic things like this, happens all around the world, you just have to look after yourself. It would be sad if all the bad aspects kept you away from an amazing country like India.
-Olivia Eckardt (17); Rungsted Gymnasium
Avani Awasthee is in Vidya Valley School, who is presently in programme as part of an exchange programme

Grand Theft Auto, as we know, is a series of grittier-than-a-couple-bags-of-gravel gritty realism. It introduces the minutiae of life in the criminal underbelly of otherwise respectable-looking cities; these are not the happy funtimes shenanigans you might find elsewhere. Is there a toon-tinged plumber with ill-advised facial hair (dicking around in worlds too brightly colored for even Boy George's taste) here? There is not.
This week, then, merry modder JulioNIB introduced just the cartoon shitstorm the franchise needed: a playable Hulk. What does this guy do when hassled by a police helicopter? A bazooka? Nuts to that. The ability to casually grab a passing car and wang it into the chopper's big ol' metal face brings a whole new ultraviolent meaning to the word 'sandbox.'
Elsewhere in today's three course crazy-meal, we learn why Japanese Xbox players are known as 'gropers,' and witness Ellie's (of The Last of Us) possible case of swear-tacular Tourette's syndrome.
Kotaku brings us 'gropers,' Ellie's potty mouth and Hulk's smashing.

The 1.5 million children no one cares about: parental attachment and the effects of incarceration on prisoners' children
Simon I. Singer
Losing a parent to incarceration can have a wide range of devastating effects on prisoners' children. The parent-child relationship is extremely important in a child's development and can have strong implications on the behavior that is exhibited. The literature on attachment theory and parental absence suggest that children who lack parental relationships that combine loving support with structured discipline will show increased signs of antisocial behavior. This is commonly exhibited in children with incarcerated parents because attachment bonds are likely to have never been formed or are broken upon imprisonment. The attachment a child has to their parent, as well as the indirect controls a parent has over the child, forms protective factors that reduce the incidence of delinquency. Children of incarcerated parents are not always afforded these protective factors, and are also exposed to higher levels of risk factors that can contribute to delinquent behavior. Parental incarceration increases a child's chance of experiencing disruptions, ineffective parenting, and loss of parental contact and academic difficulties, which can lead to juvenile delinquency. The solution to this increasingly prevalent problem is complex, since only targeting one risk factor would not be sufficient. However, as the United States relies more heavily on imprisonment as a form of punishment, it is necessary that these issues be taken into account.

I have an idea!
It will be part of the marketplace. Each person must begin their thread with "Bazaar:" and then what they would like their thread to be named. For example:
"Bazaar: Tyranitar's Market"
Each thread will be composed of items the trainer would like to sell at 500 less than the pokemart price (for obvious reasons). The trainer obviously must own these items. Other trainers will post what they would like to purchase (first post, first serve) and a moderator will approve it.
This will not effect the regular pokemart because the amount of items that each market has is limited to the items that the trainer posts. Also, to prevent withdrawal disputes, once an item is posted on the trainer's thread, it cannot be removed unless it is bought.
What do you think?

Re: Womens Tennis in General
Wow. Stosur broken for 5-7 3rd set on a double fault after being up a double break at 5-2 3rd set.
That's horrible for arguably the 2nd greatest server in the women's game to lose a 3rd set after being up a double break.
I prefered Zheng to win but I do feel a bit bad for Stosur with her difficulties performing in Australia.
The Babylon project was our last best hope for peace. A self-contained world five miles long, located in neutral territory. A place of commerce and diplomacy for a quarter of a million humans and aliens. A shining beacon in space, all alone in the night. It was the dawn of the third age of mankind, the year the great war came upon us all. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2259, the name of the place is Babylon 5.

6 Signs Of The End Times
Is the Bible trying to warn us?
Is the Bible trying to warn us?
by Jana Duckett
Theologian and author of As It Was In The Days of Noah: Warnings from Bible Prophecy About the Coming Global Storm, Jeff Kinley, seems to think so. "Scripture reveals that God will once again bring worldwide judgement on mankind. But unlike the Flood, it won't be a single event, but rather a series of happenings that occur all over the world, " says Kinley. "The Flood demonstrates that God is patient, but has a set limit on what He will endure. And though devastating and deadly, He is nevertheless a just and righteous judgment that offers refuge."
For those who doubt the validity of the Bible or refuse to take an honest look at today's culture, Kinley shares six signs and clues that indicate the world is heading toward global judgement...

As is generally the case, we once again find ourselves swooning over the European Honda Civic hatchback that made its world debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. The new-for-2012 North American-spec Civic hasn't exactly resonated well with us (or the rest of the media), and while we haven't had the chance to drive the new Euro Civic, our thought is that it simply must be better than the milquetoast slab of economy car that we've been served here in the United States.

Uzor showed up on time and gave a very competitive quote. He is very polite and honest with his advice. He did a fantastic job in cleaning my pavers patio! He stopped half way to check with me and made sure that I was ok with the pressure that he was using since I was worried about washing too much of the sand away. I will hire him again for washing my pavers and decks.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A 21-year-old man arrested for sexually assaulting a UNC Charlotte student will go before a judge today.
Police say a friend let Damien Pruitt into a dorm and then during the night he assaulted a female student in her room.
Investigators say Pruitt, who is not a student, was allowed inside the Pine Hall dormitory.
He was then allowed into a suite of four rooms and at some point police say he went into one of the rooms and attacked a girl who he did not know.
Word of the attack spread quickly around the campus.
It is really unbelievable that even happened on campus, and you know that it could happen to you, said student Megan Shue.
Campus Police Chief Jeffrey Baker was asked about measures to limit who gets into dorms.
Baker said, It s all by card-swipe. You have to have a current student ID card to even get in.
That s unless a person is allowed in by a student, as in this case.
I guess you just have to be careful of who you let come where you live, said another student, Alexus Hansley.
Pruitt is charge with second-degree rape, second-degree sexual offense and misdemeanor battery.
He was booked in to the Mecklenburg County Jail under bonds totaling $200,000.

I'm reposting in the right section ... :
Hi everybody,
We currently use an IBM ULTRIUM-TD4 tape drive for data storage.
SCSI ref. guide specifies we can read/write data on a portion of this kindof rfid chip, called "Host Attribute".
Specifically, I'd like to update the 160bytes "User Medium Text Label" for database purposes.
I've searched the internet and can't find any software/tool dedicated to this purpose -neither does IBM's "ITDT"-
So my questions are :
Is it a good idea to use that MAM chip, if so why is there no tool available ?
Will I have to do SCSI IOCTL's programming ?
NOTICE: developerWorks Community will be offline May 29-30, 2015 while we upgrade to the latest version of IBM Connections. For more information, read our upgrade FAQ.

Re: LTO Cartridge Memory Read Write2012-11-22T16:50:03Z in response to SystemAdminPlease only continue to read if you're really knowing what you're doing ;-) as you'll need to read and understand the SCSI Reference to continue...
ITDT versions 6.1 and later have undocumented (as not officially tested) commands readattr and writeattr to read from and write to the MAM.
Syntax is the following:
itdt -f <device> readattr -p <partition> -a <attribute> -d <filename> itdt -f <device> writeattr -p <partition> -a <attribute> -s <filename>
where for writeattr <filename> needs to be a binary file containing the MAM attribute data:
2 bytes attribute identifier, 1 byte read only/format, 2 bytes attribute length, then the attribute data.
<attribute> is specified in Hex.
<device> should be a generic device file (Host/Bus/ID/Lun addressing)
<partition> is only effective for LTO-5 and later, but needs to be specified as zero for LTO-4 as well.
Example to write the User Medium Text Label:
itdt -f 3 0 1 0 writeattr -p 0 -a 803 -s 165.bytes
where the first 5 bytes of the file 165.bytes need to be the following:
08 03 02 00 a0
(attribute 0803, read/write in TEXT format, data length 160 bytes) followed by the 160 bytes text to write.
Note that the readattr command always writes a binary file as specified in -d <filename> starting with the same first 5 payload bytes followed by the attribute data.

SAN DIEGO, CA, Oct. 10, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Senomyx, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNMX), a leading company focused on using proprietary technologies to discover and develop novel flavor ingredients for the food, beverage and ingredient supply industries, noted today that Senomyx Scientific Founder, University of California, San Diego Professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator Roger Y. Tsien, Ph.D., has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2008 by The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Dr. Tsien shares the prize with two other scientists for their work on "the discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein, GFP."
"Senomyx congratulates Roger on receiving the most prestigious award for scientific endeavors," remarked Mark Zoller, Ph.D., Senomyx's Chief Scientific Officer and Executive Vice President of Discovery and Development. "Roger continues to perform a valuable role for the Company as a member of the Senomyx Scientific Advisory Board."
Dr. Tsien, who is Professor of Pharmacology and Chemistry/Biochemistry at UC San Diego, was selected by the Nobel Prize Committee for his seminal contributions regarding understanding the chemistry of the fluorescence properties of GFP and other members of the GFP family. The originally isolated GFP protein provided a way to mark cells expressing specific genes and to follow the trafficking of proteins within cells. Work performed in Dr. Tsien's UC San Diego laboratory determined the mechanism by which GFP exhibits its green color and led to the development of a series of GFP variants that emit additional colors. This set of GFP proteins expanded the utility of GFP to study multiple proteins in the same cell.
Importantly, the modified GFPs developed
