Nurseries struggle with lagging economy
PORTLAND, Ore. Like his father, grandfather and great-grandfather, David Niklas feels the quickening of spring as the season ramps up at his wholesale nursery in a farming community south of Portland. Niklas and his workers busily package plants for shipment.
These days, his flowers and vegetable seedlings have fewer places to go, as the housing bubble burst and the state and national economies flatlined.
Just three years after reaching a record high of almost $1 billion in sales, Oregon's nursery industry has plummeted into an historic slump. Nurseries are laying off employees, cutting costs and foregoing new buildings and equipment.
A few, like Niklas' Clackamas Greenhouses, have gone bankrupt.
"The family has poured money into it as we tried to restructure it and make new markets," said Niklas, who had to file bankruptcy after losing almost half his sales when his primary retailer was bought out. "Commercial lenders aren't talking to me because I'm coming out of bankruptcy.
"They aren't even talking to GM, so why would they talk to a little nursery?"
Across the country, the nursery and landscaping trades are also facing tough times.
"You have to eat, but you don't have to plant ornamentals," said Terry McElroy, a spokesman at the Florida Department of Agriculture.
Florida, which produces 80 percent of the house plants grown in the United States, had about $844 million in sales of nursery stock in 2007 - the last year figures were available. California, the largest producer, reported $1.6 billion in nursery stock sales in 2007.
Both states did not have more recent figures, but officials said they had seen a decline in business. They expect the industry to slowly recover - but they also expect the belt-tightening will remain, with fewer purchases, less expansion and fewer employees.
"We know, just by tracking sales in general, that it's down but we don't know how down," said Jennifer Nelis, spokeswoman for the Florida Nursery Growers Association. "It's the life cycle of home construction. Plants are some of the last to go in, so the industry is the last to bounce back.
"Things are starting to get a little better, but it will always lag."
In Oregon, the downturn was swift and stunning. The rich soil and mild climate of Oregon's Willamette Valley is ideal for growing plants. And for 18 years, starting in 1990, the nursery industry steadily grew, reaching $988 million in sales in 2007. The nursery commodity outpaced cattle, then ranked second, by as much as $500 million that year.
Then the industry slammed into a swarm of trouble: the halt of home and business construction, high transportation costs, financial lending woes and a depressed national economy. Sales plunged 17 percent, to $820 million, in 2008. State leaders expect a similar drop for 2009.
Back in the heady days, Niklas could count on $4 million in annual sales at his nursery in Aurora. Bankruptcy knocked him down and, just as the nursery began to recover under Chapter 12 restructuring, the nation's economic downturn landed a sucker punch.

Oddly, people drive way too slow around here, for the most part, and it's not just old farts. Even the teenagers are slow rollers, like 5 or 10 mph below the speed limit. I guess you can't drive but so fast while texting, right?

When I hear people on the news or in any reputable or professional forum use poor grammar, I just feel sick. When speaking is your job, it better be your skill too. I have no desire to see John Slattery in a boxing match. So excuse me when I comment about Mike Tyson swaying nervously while he reads his cue card on The Hangover.

Oh dear, I just spent 15 minutes saying "an historical/a historical" over and over to see which one I use... At least I would never write "an historical"

Standard pronunciations change. Practically all aitches were elided in the "King's/Queen's" English a few hundred years ago. Many "h" words were spoken without sounding the "h", so we see them written in old books with nu movable, as -- tada -- "an historical"! Broadcast English pronounces the aitch in most words beginning with it, so there should be no nu movable. It's basic Indo-European, not merely English! People have gotten it right for thousands of years, in hundreds of languages, but suddenly have lost the knack in the US!

And borrow vs. lend. It takes every ounce of self control to not scream myself hoarse when my mother asks me to "borrow her a piece of gum." I've told her a seemingly infinite amount of times to say "lend me a piece of gum." She refuses to acquiesce.
How about the inability to distinguish between to, too and two.
Those that know don't tell, and those that tell don't know.
Being a college student it really frustrates me when people talk throughout the whole class, people are paying for school to listen to what the professors have to say not what stupid thing somebody's roommate did over the weekend, people need to grow up, they are in a place of higher education not middle school...

Online Statistics Course: Find Free Stats Courses Online
Accredited colleges and universities around the world have started offering course content online through the OpenCourseWare (OCW) project and the Open Learning Initiative (OLI). Free college-level statistics courses are available from many well-known institutions, such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University and Johns Hopkins University.
Where Can I Find Free Statistics Courses Online?
The following universities offer college-level statistics courses online. Although students cannot use their time online to earn college credit towards a degree or certificate program, much of the content of these courses is available to self-learners for free and without the need for registration or enrollment.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) first launched its OpenCourseWare site in 2000. Today, the school publishes almost its entire undergraduate and graduate course content online for free. Many undergraduate and graduate-level statistics courses are available through MIT's mathematics OCW program, including:
- Introduction to Probability and Statistics
- Statistics for Applications
- Statistical Learning Theory and Applications
- Mathematical Statistics
University of Massachusetts - Boston
The University of Massachusetts - Boston (UMass Boston) is in the process of building their OpenCourseWare offerings.

Fatal Smash-Up
By Associated Press
Ponca City, OK – Traffic death of Okla man being investigated
PONCA CITY, Okla. (AP) The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is investigating what caused a fatal single-vehicle accident near Ponca City.
Troopers say 62-year-old Sanford Mauldin was pronounced dead of internal injuries at the scene of the accident about 11:40 a.m. Sunday. There were no passengers.
The patrol says Mauldin's car was headed east on U.S. 60 when it left the road, traveled about 483 feet and struck a small tree.
Troopers don't know why the vehicle left the roadway.
Mauldin was wearing a seat belt.

The Importance of Section 230 Immunity for Most
Why leave the safe harbor provision intact for site operators, search engines, and other online service providers do not attempt to block offensive, indecent, or illegal activity but by no means encourage or are principally used to host illicit material as cyber cesspools do? If we retain that immunity, some harassment and stalking — including revenge porn — will remain online because site operators hosting it cannot be legally required to take them down. Why countenance that possibility?
Because of the risk of collateral censorship—blocking or filtering speech to avoid potential liability even if the speech is legally protected. In what is often called the heckler's veto, people may abuse their ability to complain, using the threat of liability to ensure that site operators block or remove posts for no good reason. They might complain because they disagree with the political views expressed or dislike the posters' disparaging tone. Providers would be especially inclined to remove content in the face of frivolous complaints in instances where they have little interest in keeping up the complained about content. Take, as an illustration, the popular newsgathering sites Digg. If faced with legal liability, it might automatically take down posts even though they involve protected speech. The news gathering site lacks a vested interest in keeping up any particular post given its overall goal of crowd sourcing vast quantities of news that people like. Given the scale of their operation, they may lack the resources to hire enough people to cull through complaints to weed out frivolous ones.
Sites like Digg differ from revenge porn sites and other cyber cesspools whose operators have an incentive to refrain from removing complained-about content such as revenge porn and the like. Cyber cesspools obtain economic benefits by hosting harassing material that may make it worth the risk to continue to do so. Collateral censorship is far less likely—because it is in their economic interest to keep up destructive material. As Slate reporter and cyber bullying expert Emily Bazelon has remarked, concerns about the heckler's veto get more deference than it should in the context of revenge porn sites and other cyber cesspools. (Read Bazelon's important new book Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy). It does not justify immunizing cyber cesspool operators from liability.
Let's be clear about what this would mean. Dispensing with cyber cesspools' immunity would not mean that they would be strictly liable for user-generated content. A legal theory would need to sanction remedies against them. Read More

In the fourth quarter of each year, the annual best-of writing anthologies swarm the display tables and impulse-buy spaces of bookstores, vying for your holiday shopping dollars. Nearly all are available as e-books, too.
Let's take a look at what some of this year's collections offer.
Once again, two of the annual best science writing collections have picked work by University of Wisconsin-Madison professor Deborah Blum, who's become one of the country's leading popular writers on scientific subjects, especially chemical ones. (While her breakthrough book "The Poisoner's Handbook" is a nonfiction, historical narrative, it also belongs in the library of anyone who cares about crime fiction.)
"The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2012" (Mariner, $14.95) includes Blum's Scientific American piece "The Scent of Your Thoughts," which describes research into pheromones and how animals and human share invisible chemical cues. Another collection, "The Best Science Writing Online 2012" (Scientific American / FSG, $16), selected Blum's "A View to a Kill in the Morning," first published on Blum's blog Speakeasy Science, on the deadly side of carbon dioxide.
Speaking of double winners, both "The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2012" (Mariner, $14.95) and "The Best American Essays 2012" (Mariner, $14.95) selected the Jose Antonio Vargas essay "Outlaw," originally published in The New York Times Magazine. In the essay, Vargas, a former Washington Post reporter, reveals that he's been an undocumented immigrant in the United States since he was 12. He describes how he stayed under the radar, and why he felt he had to disclose his status now.
"Nonrequired Reading," edited by Dave Eggers and chosen with help from his students, is the Best American series' most eclectic anthology, with fiction, nonfiction, comics and miscellany, including a McSweeneyesque front-of-the-book selection of short pieces. This year's edition includes a segment from Julie Otsuka's excellent novel "Buddha in the Attic"; the eulogy that Mona Simpson, born in Green Bay, delivered for her late brother, Steve Jobs; and an introduction by Ray Bradbury, one of the last things he wrote before he died in June.
David Brooks edited this year's installment of the "Essays" collection, which includes such brand names as Malcolm Gladwell, Jonathan Franzen, Francine Prose and Sandra Tsing Loh.
Guest editor Tom Perrotta ("The Leftovers," "The Abstinence Teacher") picked the fiction in "The Best American Short Stories 2012" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $28 hardcover, $14.95 paperback), including name writers Steven Millhauser, Alice Munro and George Saunders, as well as talents deserving wider recognition such as Roxane Gay, Carol Anshaw and Edith Pearlman. Eric Puchner's story "Beautiful Monsters" is in both this anthology and "Nonrequired Reading."
"The Best Business Writing 2012" (Columbia Journalism Review Books, $18.95), includes "A Case of Shattered Trust," an article by my Journal Sentinel colleagues Raquel Rutledge and Rick Barrett that details how poor manufacturing processes led to bacterially contaminated disposable wipes, which are blamed in a child's death.
Of all of these annual anthologies, the one I've most often given as a present is the annual installment of The Best American Comics, a collection of excerpts from graphic novels, comics and illustrations-with-words. They're fun to look at, even for people who don't otherwise read graphic novels. Guest editor Françoise Mouly, The New Yorker magazine art editor, has added several appealing features to "The Best American Comics 2012" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $25). For the first time, this anthology now includes a section devoted to "Comics for Kids," with youth-friendly stories from Sergio Aragones, Frank Cammuso, Sara Varon, Michael J. Buckley and others. On the adult side of the book, I was taken with "Kamikaze," Nora Krug's biographical story about Ena Takehiko, a reluctant Japanese World War II kamikaze pilot who went on to become a peace activist. Anyone who has just been married or is in wedding-planning mode might enjoy the excerpt from Adrian Tomine's "Scenes From an Impending Marriage." Mouly's sweetest grace note is "Découpage," her introduction, for which she has taken a single panel each from many different artists (Roz Chast, Dan Clowes, Lynda Barry, Maria Kalman, to name a few) and inserted her own words.

Good litter--good price
posted 6 years ago
I use clay litter because I'm not real good about scooping everyday. I just clean out the litter box completely weekly. The Petco litter is pretty good and I like the fact that you can refill the reusable plastic bucket. It goes on sale so often and this makes it really cost effective. Plus, our Petco is close enough that it's not a problem to get in there when I need stuff.
Pros: good clay litter--cost effective, can refill container
Cons: none

Quality Product
posted 6 years ago
I prefer the Petco litter to many other brands, however, I don't always have time to go out of my way to Petco, so I end up buying other brands at the grocery store or Sam's Club.
Pros: High Quality
Cons: Availability

Why NVIDIA should already have support for xorg-7.1

Why NVIDIA should already have support for xorg-7.1
There's been some discussion about why NVIDIA's graphics drivers don't already support xorg-7.1 and why we are having to wait for such support.
Much of this is based on the argument that NVIDIA shouldn't have to answer to specific distributions and while there's some argument here, they seem quite happy to be ahead of the game with Windows support, so you might ask why Linux is any different (and the answer will most likely be that they have more Windows users). I'll let this slide. It's doesn't actually have anything to do with why NVIDIA should already have a driver capable of supporting xorg-7.1. I just wanted to raise this line of thinking in the hope that we can put it to sleep and look at why NVIDIA really should be supporting xorg-7.1 already.
So, why should NVIDIA already be supporting xorg-7.1, even thought no distribution has produced a stable distrobution using xorg-7.1?
The answer to this is simple. NVIDIA proposed the changes to xorg-7.1 and as such they should stand by those changes.
Xorg (and XFREE86) often breaks compatibility with the NVIDIA drivers, and while this is frustrating (especially NVIDIA's often slow response) it's understandable that NVIDIA might not just to address this issue.
But in this case, NVIDIA actually proposed the break in the xorg API and as such I would (and do) expect a much better response from NVIDIA. Put another way, in this case, NVIDIA got the changes they wanted, but have failed to deliver their half of the problem.
You can read all about NVIDIA's proposal at
which includes a whitepaper written by Andy Ritger who works for NVIDIA and presented as XDefConf 2006. In this whitepaper Mr Ritger argues "the case for using the existing XFree86/X.Org DDX loadable driver framework to achieve a production-quality composited X desktop."
So, why is it that having made their case and received the changes they requested in xorg, NVIDIA has failed to deliver on their part of the equation. This isn't a simple case of keeping up with changes others have inflicted upon themselves, it's a case of NVIDIA failing to support changes they themselves have proposed.
What gives NVIDIA?

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 11/6/14
Here's your mind-blowing stat of the day: Among all non-guards in the NBA with at least 75+ minutes played this season, Luke Walton ranks 2nd in assist percentage at 21.8%. He's only trailing LeBron James, while outpacing Kevin Durant and Paul Pierce. According to Basketball-Reference.com, the definition of assist percentage is "an estimate of the percentage of teammate field goals a player assisted while he was on the floor." Walton, who missed Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors with foot/ankle soreness, actually has quite the reputable career mark for his passing expertise. Canceling out guards again — who usually are more well known for their assists — and Walton has a 19.5% mark, ranking No. 32 all-time among players with at least 7,500 minutes played. Obvious names like Magic Johnson LeBron James, Nate McMillan and Oscar Robertson dominate the leaderboard, while his father Bill Walton also ranks No. 58. Most notably on this list of 80 non-guards with at least an assist rate of 16%, Walton has the fourth-lowest usage rate (although usage is dependent on turnovers, which only have been tracked since 1977). Usage estimates a player's overall involvement in the offense by all available statistics, so it show how Luke has been quite effective as an unselfish ball-passer, as The Basketball Jones pointed out last week too. The NBA's famous son might be the butt of many basketball-related jokes, but Walton has provided quite the niche for the suddenly hot Cavaliers. He had 7 assists in just about 18 minutes of play in both wins last week over Boston and Milwaukee. Obviously, that'd adds up to an incredible 14 total assists over the often discussed 36-minute barrier. [Related: Finally some fun for Cavalier fans]

Bassani Road Rage B4 Exhaust System For Harley Touring
The B4 represents the culmination of Bassani's research and development for the better part of forty years. This exhaust was designed strictly to make big, big power. How? Equal length headers. Stepped head pipes. A hidden inner collector. These are features you are simply not going to find on another exhaust.
We at RevZilla had the good fortune to speak directly with Daryl Bassani about his intentions and target user for the B4 system. Daryl designed this exhaust to offer the most to owners of bikes making under 120 horsepower. Typically, bikes without a bump in compression, camshaft(s), or significant head-work (or some combination of the three) are going to make power under that threshold. By taking an honest assessment of your bike's power, or the results of your last dyno run, you may find that selecting a B4 exhaust will make a marked difference in your bike's performance as opposed to selecting 'too much pipe' for your bike.
The B4 system does not utilize as many diameter steps as the B1 system, and as such, promotes better exhaust velocity on most street engines. Daryl also spent time going over the importance of the collector in this system. Effectively acting as a 'collector-within-a-collector', Bassani has drawn on their research to help each cylinder most efficiently help its mate through exhaust scavenging. Utilizing the same principles used in carb venturi development, Daryl and his team are able to manipulate the velocity of exhaust gases to tweak every last shred of oomph from your motorcycle.
The B4 system is right for a lot of mild tuners - as Daryl told us, "Try this exhaust B4 you try the B1." We concur - heck, you might want to try this B4 you try anything else!

RECOGNIZE THE PRINCIPLE:The time period is defined as the time taken to complete one cycle and the amplitude is defined as the maximum value from the mean position.
The frequency is given as,
Here, T is the time period.
The rms value of voltage is given as,
Here, is voltage amplitude.
Substitute for in the equation to find the frequency.
Therefore, the rms value of the voltage is 2.8V.
No, we cannot observe the flicker because the human eye cannot detect more than 25 images separately in one second. If this voltage source is connected to light bulb, it will oscillate 240 times in one second. So, our eye cannot detect the flicker.

Last week I listed out my picks for the top 5 most enjoyable mini games in Final Fantasy. That was a real challenge because it was difficult finding 5 mini games in the series that were actually fun to play. This week's challenge is an entirely different matter, however; picking 5 of the worst mini games in Final Fantasy is tough because there are just so many to choose from. I've given it a lot of thought and these are 5 of the worst, and most horrid mini games to have ever graced the series.
5. Solving Anomalies (Final Fantasy XIII-2)
The premise: Serah and Noel are stuck in a space-time continuum paradox time thingmajig- whatever. Basically, they need to resolve an anomaly in the timeline so that time can flow properly again. The anomalies come in various types of puzzle forms. Some involve trying to collect shiny gems while making sure the ground beneath you doesn't collapse, while others require you to solve a randomized clock puzzle.
Why it's horrid: This is a textbook example of how to make an uninspired mini game that adds absolutely nothing to the story whatsoever. It's as if Square Enix suddenly thought: "Hey! We're missing some mini games here!" And then they panicked and hurriedly threw in this mess of a 'mini game' into Final Fantasy XIII-2. Seriously. How does running around and picking up gems have anything – anything at all – to do with resolving a time anomaly? Nothing! These puzzles aren't particularly hard, but I facepalmed in frustration every time I ran into these things.
4. Mog House (Final Fantasy VII)
The premise: Mog the moogle is an adult and needs to find a mate. There's just one problem; he can't fly. You have to feed Mog a bunch of kupo nuts so that he can fly. Then you have to feed him more kupo nuts later on so that he can fly in front of the female moogle. After that, both Mog and Mag enter the treehouse, go at it like a couple of moogles in heat, exit the treehouse awhile later, and we see tons (and I mean tons) of moogle babies follow them out.
Why it's horrid: It's a boring visual novel that really serves no purpose other than to give you 30GP in the Gold Saucer. This entire mini game revolves around the player getting through a lot of text before you finally get to push a button to feed Mog with a kupo nut. I don't know who thought it was a good idea to include a 'mini game' about moogle mating rituals, but it was boring as hell. After getting through that five-minute visual novel, I gave up on the Gold Saucer mini games and proceeded on with the main story of Final Fantasy VII. I chose wisely.
3. Jump Rope (Final Fantasy IX)
The premise: Easy. When the exclamation mark appears above Vivi's head, press circle to jump. Do it a thousand times, and you'll get the 'King of Jump Rope' title. This mini game yields some very neat rewards like extra gil, and rare cards to be used in the Final Fantasy IX card game Tetra Master. All these rewards are yours if you can manage 1000 consecutive jumps. Easy, right?
Why it's horrid: Except it's not easy. At all. This mini game is torture. If you blink and you miss a jump… Oops. Time to restart. If your hands start to sweat and you slip up on the button? You got it. Time to restart. This mini game isn't too bad once you get a good rhythm going and you keep with it for the next few minutes. And you can give Jump Rope a complete miss if you're not really interested in investing your time into Tetra Master, which is why this mini game is only number 3 on my list. That doesn't change the fact that this is still a horrid one, though.
2. Lightning Dodge (Final Fantasy X)
The premise: This one's pretty similar to FFIX's Jump Rope in the sense that it only requires you to push a button at the right time. You head down to the Thunder Plains, and you just spend your time there dodging lightning strikes. All you have to do is keep your eyes on the screen. Once the screen flashes white, hit the circle button, and Tidus will successfully dodge the strike. If you dodge enough of them, you'll get really cool rewards from the treasure chest outside of Rin's Travel Agency.
Why it's horrid: This is a lot worse than Jump Rope, especially if you're a completionist like myself. The only way to get the Venus sigil, which is required to unlock Lulu's celestial weapon, is by dodging 200 consecutive lightning strikes. It takes skill, and the mental capacity to keep track of how many strikes you've actually dodged. I spent two solid days on this mini game just trying different methods of tackling it. Do I try to dodge all 200 in one go, or should I do them in sets of 10 before taking short breaks? This mini game requires an immense amount of concentration and that Thunder Plains track that plays in this area is annoying as hell.
1. Catcher Chocobo (Final Fantasy X)
The premise: A chocobo trainer in the Calm Lands will offer you a chance to train and race your chocobos. The starting levels are pretty easy to beat but once you've gotten past all the preliminary rounds, you unlock the Catcher Chocobo challenge. This one requires you to race the trainer as you collect balloons on the race course. Each balloon you pick up will take 3 seconds off your final timing. However, you'll also have to dodge these birds that fly towards you and the trainer. If any of these birds hit your chocobo in the face, you'll be stunned for a couple seconds before you can go on racing. Oh and each bird that hits you will also add 3 seconds to your final timing. Oh and you have to complete the race with a final timing of less than 0 seconds if you want that Sun sigil to unlock Tidus' celestial weapon. Sounds great, huh?
Why it's horrid: You have to finish the race with a final timing of less than 0 seconds. Zero. Seconds. This mini game is not impossible to beat but it is definitely a massive pain in the ass. Past Final Fantasy games have required players to get through optional dungeons or beat optional bosses in order to acquire ultimate weapons. But not Final Fantasy X. Nope. Final Fantasy X wants you to suffer and the game actively bullies you for even trying to obtain these ultimate weapons.
Catcher Chocobo is, hands down, the worst mini game in FFX and in Final Fantasy history. When the race starts, the chocobo trainer always gets ahead of you and steals all the balloons before you can even get to them. The balloon placement is random every time you tackle the race, too. If the balloons aren't directly in your path in the first segment of the race, you'll miss five easy pickups to the trainer. In addition to that, the birds that you have to avoid during the race will home towards you and the trainer. The birds actually and deliberately fly into your chocobo's face. Just let that sink in for a second.
In addition to that, there are invisible walls around the race course. If you try to move your chocobo too far to the left while dodging birds, you might run into an invisible wall and lose control of your chocobo for a split second. Your chocobo doesn't run straight, it's hard to control, and you have to pick up balloons while dodging birds that aim for your face. This mini game is just downright awful. It's like Square recognized that players actually covet ultimate weapons and they thought: "Oh you want to be overpowered, do you? Ha! Good luck with that, suckers!"
The less I think about those goddamn homing blue birds, the better it will be for my blood pressure.
It wasn't easy choosing just 5 bad mini games from Final Fantasy but these are the absolute worst from the series, in my opinion. Leave a comment down below and let me know what your least favorite mini games from the series were. Did you actually find some sort of sick pleasure in dodging those blue birds? Let me know, and we'll talk.

Old clay mines have claimed the lives of at least 33 people
Abandoned clay mines continue to dot the otherwise picturesque landscape of Sreemoolanagaram Panchayat, which not so long ago boasted nearly 550 hectares of paddy fields, sustaining three crop cycles a year.
Though an early 2010 government order stipulates that paddy fields, where clay mines are usually developed, should be restored to their original condition once mining is over, government departments have found it difficult to implement the order.
A senior government official said most of the mines in the Sremoolanagarm panchayats, mostly in Chowara and Thekkumbhagam, were developed 25 to 30 years ago and departments concerned had found it difficult to get the gaping holes filled.
Sreemoolanagaram panchayat president K.C. Martin said most of the land where mines were previously developed had been bought by people from outside the panchayat. These parcels of land have remained idle over the years.
He said new mining licences were being issued only under the condition of clearances granted by the Pollution Control Board and the Mining and Geology Department. The new rules also make it compulsory for the licence-holder to furnish a bank guarantee, an insurance against the licensee abandoning the mines without restoring them to their original condition.
The new rules also stipulate that those running clay units should bring the raw material from outside and that the authorities concerned should verify the origins of the raw material.
However, environmentalists like S. Sitaraman have alleged that the licensees misuse the licences. The Panchayat president said there were five to six licensees as of now, though more applications were expected by December, said Mr. Martin.
Dr. Seetaraman said the old clay mines continued to pose a threat to human life. He said in a representation to the State Revenue Minister in June last year that at least 33 people, including children, had drowned in these large ravines.
He alleged in the letter that illegal mining activities as well as paddy field reclamation continued in these areas unabated behind the back of the Revenue Department. However, a State Department official claimed there had not been many cases of paddy field reclamation in the Panchayat of late.
The Department of Agriculture has been trying to bring fallow land in the panchayat under cultivation over these years. As of now the panchayat has only about 35 hectares under paddy during the three seasons, the Mundakan season accounting for about 30 hectares. Most of the paddy land in the Pancyayat was acquired for the international airport.
Dr. Seetaraman fears that the Seaport-Airport Road, linking Irimpanam to Cochin International Airport at Nedumbasserry, which will pass through the Sreemoolanagaram Panchayat, will be added incentive for elements looking to reclaim paddyfields in the area.
However, the Panchayat president claimed the road would pass between Thoombakkadavu and Kondotti, an area which did not have much paddy land.

Sea Lions tame Jaguars, near Ucaa cage sweep
THE OLIVAREZ College Sea Lions subdued the Philippine School of Business Administration Jaguars, 85-63, on Saturday and moved within a win of sweeping the elimination round of the 12th Universities and Colleges Athletic Association (Ucaa) men's basketball tournament.
Clarence Singh shot a game-high 14 points for the Sea Lions at Olivarez College gymnasium in Sucat, Parañaque.
Employing pressure defense in the second period, the Sea Lions pulled away by 11 points at halftime, 36-25, behind a pair of charities from Kurt Labog.
It was Olivarez College's fifth straight victory, coming five days after it won over the Trinity of Asia Stallions, who walked out of that game at Ugnayang La Salle gymnasium in DSLU-Dasmariñas.
The Sea Lions, who virtually clinched the top semifinal berth, will aim for a sweep against the National College of Business and Arts today at RTU gymnasium.
Jopet Quiro topscored with 20 points as the RTU Blue Thunder, coached by Johnedel Cardel, scuttled the Manuel L. Quezon University Stallions, 88-60, and earned a semifinal slot with a 4-2 card.
The De La Salle-Dasmariñas Patriots drew 18 points from Kiboy Torres in routing the Philippine Nautical Training College, 91-72, and improving to 3-2.

Today is the last day of the NCAA Championships in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, with the men's and women's singles and doubles championships taking place today.
But before the matches begin - and the 2012-13 season comes to an end - Tennis Recruiting casts an eye to the future and looks at the top recruiting classes that will arrive this coming fall. With more than 1,700 committed seniors, the majority of schools have completed their recruiting for this year's class.
Today, The Tennis Recruiting Network announces the Top 25 men's recruiting classes for the Class of 2013.
Media Poll
The Tennis Recruiting Network has again enlisted the aid of junior tennis experts to determine the top classes. Reporters, national and international tournament directors, referees, ranking chairmen, and writers from across the country have donated their time and talents to vote on these top classes. Panelists for this voting period are shown below.
Each of our panelists submitted his/her take on the Top 25 recruiting classes. Schools received 25 points for each first-place vote, 24 points for each second-place vote, on down to 1 point for each 25th-place vote. The panelists were told not to consider incoming transfer students in their voting - and also did not consider players that started college in January.
Top 25 Men's Recruiting Classes (through May 3)
Here are the Spring Rankings of the top men's college recruiting classes, presented by the Tennis Recruiting Network. The Top 25 classes are shown in order, with the point totals and previous ranking from the winter in the two columns at right. The number of first-place votes is shown in parentheses next to the school name.
New recruits for schools are shown in bold italics. These lists are based on all commitments reported through May 3, 2013.
Also Receiving Votes
Other men's programs receiving votes are: George Washington (43), Minnesota (31), Dartmouth (27), N.C. State (23), Clemson (22), Cal Poly (18), Penn State (18), Michigan (16), Denver (13), Notre Dame (11), Yale (10), Duke (7), Richmond (6), Vanderbilt (6), Monmouth (4), LSU (2), UC Santa Barbara (2), TCU (1), UC Davis (1).
It's a good time to be a Virginia fan. After winning their first-ever NCAA Championship last week, the Wahoos should reload next year for another title run. No. 1 Jarmere Jenkins and No. 6 Julen Uriguen are graduating, but Virginia returns a wealth of experience - including Alex Domijan and Mitchell Frank who have won singles titles at major college events. For good measure, let's add the top-ranked recruiting class of 2013 to the mix.
The recruiting class of Thai-Son Kwiatkowski, Luca Corinteli, Juan Aragone, and Jordan Daigle - four recruits who have all been ranked in the top 5 nationally - earned 16 of the 20 first-place votes and 496 out of 500 possible points.
Into the Top 10
A look at the rankings shows two teams new to our Top 10: Texas (No. 9) and South Florida (10).
The Texas Longhorns have added to their recruiting haul, signing Clement Homs of France this spring to go with Fall recruit George Goldhoff. Homs and Goldhoff will join JUCO transfer Adrien Berkowicz - singles champion at the 2012 USTA/ITA National Small College Championships - as newcomers to Austin this fall.
The South Florida Bulls are bringing in perhaps their best recruiting class ever - including two players with ATP ranking points. The four-man class of Roberto Cid, Alexandru Gozun, Vadym Kalyuzhnyy, and Finn Meinecke earned 302 points in the voting. Both Cid and Meinecke, who enrolled in January but whose eligibility starts this coming fall, have posted wins over adults ranked in the Top 1,000.
New Arrivals
There are three programs in the rankings that did not appear in our winter poll. In addition to the aforementioned Bulls of South Florida, North Florida and Harvard check in at No. 15 and No. 18, respectively.
North Florida is making its first-ever appearance in our recruiting class rankings. Indeed, the Ospreys have never before garnered a single vote. But that all changed this year, as the five-man class of Zachary Goldberg, Jack Findel-Hawkins, Fabian Pronnet, Yannick Zuern, and Caio Gomes earned 178 points - which was good enough for the No. 15 spot in our list.
Conversely, the Harvard Crimson are no strangers to our rankings. 2013 marks the third straight year and sixth overall that Head Coach Dave Fish has attracted a top class to Cambridge. The Crimson added Pak Long Yeung of Hong Kong to Andrew Ball and Sebastian Beltrame - a pair of 5-Star recruits - to earn the No. 18 spot on our list.
Conference Call
The super-sized ACC and the more stable Ivy League each have five representatives in the rankings.
The ACC has three teams in the Top 10: top-ranked Virginia, the No. 3 North Carolina Tar Heels, and the No. 6 Florida State Seminoles. Other ACC programs in rankings are Georgia Tech (No. 11) and Wake Forest (21).
As mentioned in last week's article, the talent level at Ivy institutions has been growing, and these recruiting class rankings show that the trend is continuing. Five Ivy programs - Cornell (No. 14), Harvard (18), Princeton (19), Penn (22), and Columbia (23) - appear in the rankings. With two more schools - Dartmouth and Yale - also receiving votes, classes from seven of the eight Ivies got the attention of our panel.
Other conferences with more than two programs in the rankings are the PAC-12 and SEC with four programs apiece. The PAC-12 has three programs in the Top 10 and four in the Top 12.
These four programs should figure prominently in our mid-major rankings which will be published in the coming weeks.
Panelists for May 2013
The 20 panelists for this voting period are shown below alphabetically. We sincerely appreciate them donating their time and talents to this effort. Please join us in thanking them when you see them out and about in the tennis world.
Rankings, Rankings Everywhere...
These are only the first of our Recruiting Class Rankings. Rankings for the women's classes will be released next Monday, June 3rd, followed by rankings of Mid-major as well as NCAA Division III schools.

Tue, May 26, 4:56 AM
- AstraZeneca's (NYSE:AZN) goal of topping $45B in revenue by 2023 has been dealt a severe blow by a problem with an experimental psoriasis drug that the company had viewed as a potential billion-dollar plus seller.
- Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN), its partner on the project, announced late on Friday it was ending a collaboration to develop brodalumab after suicidal thoughts were observed in patients taking the medicine.
- AZN -1.6%; AMGN -0.8% premarket
Thu, Mar. 5, 8:52 AMAbbVie's high-priced takeout of Pharmacyclics bodes well for other biotechs with high potential drugs
- AbbVie's (NYSE:ABBV) extraordinarily generous buyout of Pharmacyclics (NASDAQ:PCYC) is a crystal clear example of how keen big pharma is to boost its prospects with biotech drugs with blockbuster potential. The transaction's $20B tab, backing out PCYC's $1B cash balance, values Imbruvica (ibrutinib) at $40B since Pharmacyclics' commercial partner Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) gets 50% of Imbruvica's revenue. This implies a multiple of almost 7x Imbruvica's projected peak sales of $6B. By comparison, Amgen's (NASDAQ:AMGN) takeout of Onyx Pharma and Sanofi's (NYSE:SNY) takeout of Genzyme were both at 5x premiums.
- The looming patent expiration for Humira ($12.5B in sales the past four quarters) undoubtedly provided AbbVie extra incentive to get the deal done.
- Adding 50% of Imbruvica's sales to AbbVie's top line should increase its revenue growth 3 - 7% and EPS growth 8 - 11% through 2020.
- According to RBC analyst Michael Yee, other biotechs on the big ticket acquisition radar are: BioMarin Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:BMRN), Dyax (NASDAQ:DYAX), Esperion Therapeutics (NASDAQ:ESPR), United Therapeutics (NASDAQ:UTHR), Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:VRTX), Intercept Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ICPT), Juno Therapeutics (NASDAQ:JUNO), Kite Pharma (NASDAQ:KITE), PTC Therapeutics (NASDAQ:PTCT) and Receptos (NASDAQ:RCPT).
Mon, Mar. 2, 4:05 PM
- Thinly-traded Ligand Pharmaceuticals (LGND +15.5%) jumps on a 5x surge in volume in response to the positive news on Amgen's (AMGN +1.1%) Kyprolis (carfilzomib) study. Ligand is eligible to receive milestone and royalty payments on sales of Captisol, which carfilzomib's IV formulation utilizes. Ligand and Proteolix entered into a collaboration in 2005 to explore the use to Captisol. Onyx Pharmaceuticals acquired Proteolix in 2009 and Amgen acquired Onyx in 2013.
- Captisol is a formulation technology. It is a uniquely modified cyclodextrin, which improves the solubility, stability, bioavailability and dosing of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
- Previously: Amgen's Kyprolis beats Takeda's Velcade in head-to-head study (March 1)
Thu, Feb. 12, 12:56 PM
- Johnson & Johnson (JNJ -1.6%) slumps on double normal volume after U.S. Patent Office upholds the rejection of its Remicade 2018 patent. Biosimilar makers rally as a result, including thinly-traded nano cap Epirus Biopharmaceuticals (EPRS +15.1%) whose lead product is BOW015, a biosimilar version of Remicade (infliximab).
- Biosimilar-related tickers: (PFE +1.3%)(HSP +0.1%)(AMGN -0.4%)(CHRS +0.2%)(PFNX +14.5%)(NVS -0.2%)
Wed, Jan. 14, 8:25 AM
- Ziopharm (NASDAQ:ZIOP) jumps 50% premarket on robust volume in response to its announcement of an exclusive license deal with partner Intrexon (NYSE:XON) (+12%) with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center covering technology and intellectual property related to non-viral adoptive cellular cancer immunotherapies. The technologies originate from two researchers who have pioneered the design and clinical investigation of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies for the potential treatment of cancer using non-viral gene integration platforms.
- The two researchers are Laurence Cooper, M.D., Ph.D, professor of pediatrics at MD Anderson who has expertise in immunotherapies and Perry Hackett, Ph.D., professor within the College of Biological Sciences at Minnesota, who discovered and developed a system called Sleeping Beauty, a non-viral DNA plasmid-based gene transfer system.
- The deal brings the CAR-T technology together Intrexon's technology suite and Ziopharm's clinically tested RheoSwitch Therapeutic System interleukin-12 modules. Up to five CARs are expected to enter the clinic this year and off-the-shelf programming initiating in 2016.
- Under the terms of the agreement, MD Anderson will receive $100M from the companies in the form of $50M of common stock from each firm. In addition, the companies have committed $15M - 20M over each of the next three years for researching and developing the technologies.
- CAR-T therapies are the "next big thing" in cancer treatment.

- Amgen's (AMGN) Kyprolis (carfilzomib) failed to achieve its primary endpoint of improving overall survival (OS) in a 315-patient Phase 3 clinical trial (FOCUS) evaluating the safety and efficacy of the product in patients with relapsed and advanced refractory multiple myeloma compared to an active control regimen of low-dose dexamethasone (or equivalent corticosteroids) plus optional cyclophosphamide.
- Despite the setback, Amgen subsidiary Onyx Pharmaceuticals (ONXX) President Pablo J. Cagnoni says, "While it is unfortunate that the FOCUS study did not meet its primary endpoint, we believe the results from the recent positive ASPIRE Phase 3 clinical trial will be sufficient to support regulatory submissions around the world."

- Good things could be ahead for Amgen (AMGN +3.8%), RBC analyst Michael Yee writes, believing the company has been laying the groundwork for growth through pipeline renewal, the effects of which should become evident in mid-2014.
- In the near term, the firm says shares could be range-bound as investors await the ASPIRE interim analysis in mid-2014; removal of this overhang should allow AMGN to embark on a 'new product story" supported by Phase III PCSK-9 data and eventual approval; Phase III readout for AMG-416 (hyperparathyroidism) and Brodalumab (psorasis) and Phase II proof-of-concept data in migraine prevention (AMG-334); and Phase III anti-sclerostin data in 2015.
- AMGN has climbed 48% during the past 12 months, a fine showing but lagging Biogen's 116% rise, Gilead Sciences' 111% gain, and even the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF's 67% advance.
Jan. 16, 2014, 8:39 AM
- Illumina (ILMN) +4.8% premarket after reaching an agreement with Amgen (AMGN) to develop an oncology companion diagnostic test.
- The companies will develop and commercialize a multigene, NGS-based test as a companion diagnostic for Vectibix (panitumumab) in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer approved in the U.S. and EU.
- The test will be developed for use with ILMN's MiSeqDx instrument, which has received premarket clearance from the FDA and CE-marked for the European Union.
Jan. 13, 2014, 2:03 PM
- Cytokinetics (CYTK -7.9%) is lower on the day after giving an update on the development of omecamtiv mecarbil.
- CYTK says that it and partner Amgen (AMGN) have "agreed to amend the protocol to evaluate a dose titration strategy in the expansion phase of COSMIC-HF [and up] the size of the expansion phase ... with the objective to provide greater statistical power for the planned evaluation of several pharmacodynamic parameters during oral dosing." (PR)
- Here's The Street's Adam Feuerstein, commenting: "Sounds like data release will be pushed back."
Jan. 8, 2014, 10:46 AM
- Nomura's Ian Somaiya (formerly at Piper) is out with a number of healthcare initiations.
- Gilead (GILD +1.7%) is the firm's top biotech pick for 2014 as the company is "set to dominate the HCV market." GILD started at Buy. Price target is $118.
- Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX -3.2%) started at Buy. Somaiya sees peak sales of $700M for NBI-98854. Price target is $23.
- Celgene (CELG +1.2%) started at Buy. "Revlimid for multiple myeloma, is less than a third of the way to realizing its peak sales potential," Somaiya says. Price target is $236.
- Biogen (BIIB +4.1%) initiated at Buy. Tecfidera, is "a blockbuster ... treatment for MS, with estimated peak sales of $9B," Somaiya notes. Price target is $368.
- Alexion (ALXN +1.5%) initiated at Buy. Price target $150.
- Pharmacyclics (PCYC +1.9%) will "transform the treatment paradigm and disease course of CLL and mantle cell lymphoma MCL." Shares started at Buy. Price target is $137.
- Other initiations: Incyte (INCY +5.9%) started at Buy. Synageva BioPharma (GEVA +3.7%) started at Buy. BioMarin (BMRN +1.2%), Amgen (AMGN), and Infinity Pharmaceuticals (INFI +2.8%) started at Neutral.
Nov. 21, 2013, 3:20 PM
- After opening higher, shares of Amgen (AMGN -2.9%) moved into negative territory this morning and have since traded notably lower on above average volume.
- The weakness looks to be attributable to BofA/ Merrill Lynch. Here's what the firm had to say regarding a meeting with Celgene's (CELG +1.8%) management: "The most notable derivative commentary was around AMGN's Kyprolis. CELG is hearing increasing concerns from big myeloma centers on CV events."
- They continue: CELG "has access to the event rate in ASPIRE and believes the full story has yet to fully play out." While BofA says CELG "was not tossing away Kyprolis" they did seem to suggest that "it could be reserved with Revlimid/Dexamethasone for high risk myeloma." ASPIRE combines Kyrpolis, Revlimid, and Dexamethasone.
- Now, Cowen is apparently out defending AMGN, saying any CELG commentary might have been taken out of context.
- Also down sharply are shares of Ligand Pharmaceuticals (LGND -5.7%) which receives tiered royalties tied to the use of Captisol technology in the drug.

Absinthe du Centenaire the Prohibition Absinthe
12:30 pm in Absinthe Brands by ALANDIA
A new Absinthe was recently launched. Its name is Absinthe du Centenaire. What is the story behing this new Absinthe..? Well, it is like the name says a "Century Absinthe" connected to Absinthe prohibition. January 7th, 1915 is the date when Absinthe got banned in France. Fortunately 100 years later Absinthe production and consumption is once again legal. Especially French distilleries that already produced Absinthe during the thimes of the Belle Epoque offer premium, authentic Absinthe. In reminiscence of this historical event the French Absinthe distillery Devoille has launched Absinthe du Centenaire. It is a limited edition, as its production and recipe focuses on authenticity and quality.
Absinthe du Centenaire: The recipe and taste
The herbal focus of the Absinthe recipe is set on artemisia species. To be precise three different wormwood species are used for the distillation: Artemisia absinthium, artemisia pontica and artemisia africaine. All plants grow in the herbal garden of the distillery. This guarantees premium and fresh quality. Like in the old days the plants are dried in a traditional wooden hut, the so called "Séchoir". Below you can see a photo of the inside of the hut. The light green color of Absinthe du Centenaire derives from the coloring herbs melissa and artemisia pontica. Not too much coloration was intended, the crisp and fresh taste should remain. With too much coloration the coloring herbs would have dominated the taste. To preserve its natural green color you should store the bottle in a dark place. Sunlight is a threat to every naturally green Absinthe. The smell and taste of Absinthe du Centenaire is fresh and crisp. It has to be enjoyed with ice cold water and one sugar cube. The louche is medium intense with greenish-white swirls. Overall you can say Absinthe du Centenaire is a perfect "Summer Absinthe" fitting to a broad group of Absintheurs!
You can buy a bottle of Absinthe du Centenaire in our online Absinthe shop: Absinthe du Centenaire
