Human Genome Sciences to GlaxoSmithKline: No sale
Human Genome Sciences on Thursday reiterated its rejection of longtime partner GlaxoSmithKline's takeover bid, saying it undervalues the Rockville biotech, and urged its stockholders to do likewise.
HGS cited its advisers, Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs, which on Wednesday called the offer inadequate.
The company also announced a new one-year plan under which existing stockholders receive special share purchase rights. The "poison pill" plan kicks in when someone acquires 15 percent of the company's shares, making HGS a less attractive target for a hostile takeover.
The plan, which the board could terminate before one year, "is intended to allow the Company to fully engage in its strategic review process and as a means to protect the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders," according to an HGS statement.
The British pharma giant last month made a private unsolicited offer of $13 a share, or about $2.6 billion, an 81 premium over the previous day's price for HGS stock.
HGS spurned the offer, and its stock price doubled to about $14 a share, where it has stayed. It fell 2 cents to $14.23 Thursday.
Last week, GlaxoSmithKline — which works with HGS to develop and market the new lupus drug Benlysta, plus develop treatments for cardiovascular disease and diabetes that are still in clinical trials — went directly to HGS shareholders with the same offer. HGS urged its investors to sit tight, as it continued to review the company's strategic alternatives, including a sale, possibly to GlaxoSmithKline.
For its part, the British drug-maker said it would not participate in the review process, saying no due diligence was needed, as the companies have worked together for years.
"We invited GSK to participate in this process, which is well underway," H. Thomas Watkins, CEO of HGS, said in Thursday's statement. "Instead, GSK chose to commence an unsolicited tender offer at a price that undervalues our Company. The HGS Board of Directors has determined that the GSK offer is not in the best interests of our stockholders and recommends that they not tender shares to GSK."
GlaxoSmithKline, through its offer, "seeks to circumvent, disrupt and prematurely end [HGS's] process to the disadvantage of HGS stockholders," the Rockville company said.
Foreclosure rate dropped last month
Maryland's home foreclosure filing rate in April fell 7.2 percent from March and 4.4 percent from April 2011, according to new data from RealtyTrac of Irvine, Calif.
With a rate of one filing per 1,659 households, Maryland had the nation's 37th-highest rate. The U.S. average last month, one filing per 698 households, was down 5.1 percent from March and 13.9 percent from a year earlier.
Bank repossessions in Maryland fell year-over-year 47 percent last month. That was the fifth-biggest drop in the nation, tied with Virginia.
Prince George's County again had the highest overall rate in Maryland in April, with one filing per 897 households. That was down 25.8 percent from the previous month and 26.7 percent from April 2011. Prince George's was followed by Baltimore city, and Charles and Frederick counties.
Mass layoffs down in Q1 from 2011
The number of extended mass layoff events in Maryland plunged in the first quarter to four from 26 in the first quarter of 2011, according to new data from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Such events are defined as those that result in the filing of 50 or more initial claims for unemployment insurance benefits from an employer during a five-week period, with at least 50 workers separated for more than 30 days. The layoffs involve workers subject to recall and those who are terminated.
In Maryland, these events resulted in 391 initial claims, down from 2,829 a year earlier.
USEC deal extends operations at nuclear fuel plant
United States Enrichment Corp., the Bethesda company that provides uranium fuel to nuclear power plants, has signed a deal that helps it continue operating for one year the production plant in Paducah, Ky., that it leases from the Department of Energy.
USEC has operated the facility for almost 60 years. But the large amounts of electricity it uses make it less cost-competitive with other plants using newer technologies.
Under the new deal, the Department of Energy will provide about 9,000 metric tons of high-assay depleted uranium hexafluoride, known as tails, to Energy Northwest. USEC will re-enrich the tails into about 480 metric tons of low enriched uranium, a portion of which Energy Northwest will use at its 1,150-megawatt Columbia Generating Station in Washington, with the rest going to the Tennessee Valley Authority. The TVA will use the fuel in its reactors to produce tritium, which is used in nuclear bombs. TVA will supply the electricity for the re-enrichment at the Paducah plant under an extension of its contract with USEC — the TVA's largest industrial electricity customer, according to a company statment.
"USEC is pleased to deliver on one of its stated objectives to extend Paducah operations on an economically sound basis," USEC CEO John Welch said in the statement. "This agreement represents a multipoint win for government and industry that allows taxpayers to realize value by converting depleted uranium tails into an asset. At the same time it provides material critical to our national defense that can only come from U.S. technology."
The deal "bridges the gap" between the aging plant's production and the company's new American Centrifuge plant in Piketon, Ohio, said John M.A. Donelson, USEC vice president of marketing, sales, and power. The company has struggled to obtain a $2 billion federal loan guarantee to finish construction of the Ohio plant. USEC reported a net loss of $540.7 million last year.
"This is a complex deal, and on behalf of the USEC employees whose jobs will be saved, I want to thank all the parties that came together to execute this business transaction that will serve our nation's near-term national security needs," Steven R. Penrod, USEC vice president of enrichment operations, said in the statement.
Washington County gets grants for development plan
The Department of Business and Economic Development awarded a $50,000 grant to help the Hagerstown-Washington County Industrial Foundation develop an economic development strategic plan. The plan, to be completed by November, will outline strategies for investments, attracting new businesses and creating jobs, according to a DBED statement.
The foundation also will receive $50,000 from the Appalachian Regional Commission for the project.
Canada OKs Osiris stem cell treatment
Osiris Therapeutics of Columbia reported Thursday that Health Canada has granted it approval to market its stem cell therapy Prochymal to treat acute graft-vs-host disease in children.
It's the world's first regulatory approval of a manufactured stem cell product and the first therapy approved for the disease, a complication of bone marrow transplantation that kills up to 80 percent of children affected, many within weeks of diagnosis, according to Osiris.
"Much like the introduction of antibiotics in the late 1920s, with stem cells we have now officially taken the first step into this new paradigm of medicine," Andrew Daly, clinical associate professor in the Department of Medicine and Oncology at the University of Calgary and principal investigator in the phase 3 clinical program for Prochymal, said in a statement.
"Today is not only a great day for Osiris, but for everyone involved in the responsible development of stem cell therapies," said C. Randal Mills, CEO of Osiris.
"Today Osiris turns the promise of stem cell research into reality, delivering on decades of medical and scientific research," said Peter Friedli, chairman and co-founder of Osiris.


text: We recently stayed here for a short getaway. The rooms are basically small condos. It is right on the bay- maybe 15 feet from the water- so the views are wonderful. The rooms have huge windows where you can watch dolphins and boaters. As others said, the rooms are a little dated but were very clean. This is a resort- there is no room service and luggage help, but that was fine. The attached restaurant, Flippers, has outdoor dining on the water and the food was great. I deducted a star as their website states there is a continental breakfast (there isn't) as others have mentioned. The front desk told me "it is only offered certain seasons- they were supposed to change that on our site". As others have mentioned this, I find it hard to believe that she was surprised. Any other top hotel I have stayed at would have offered something to compensate, not here.

We were hanging out with Raven Bay and she insisted on getting some Mexican food for some reason. We went back and forth debating on whether we should go to a restaurant or just eat at home and of course she got her way. We reluctantly took her to a local Mexican restaurant and she decided to sit by herself since we gave her such a hard time about going out to eat. Tyler and I sat there in a booth right next to hers and asked her why she was all of a sudden acting like she didn't know us. Raven was giving us the silent treatment. Tyler slowly but surely won her back with sex talk and asking her how big her boobs are and letting her touch his dick. She was upset he lied about how big it was and she actually believed him when he told her he was tiny. All that trouble to go eat some Mexican food and all she ended up ordering was a shake! At least Tyler got her to shake her nice and plump ass. She also deep throated his cock and rode him hard until he exploded all over her beautiful face and gorgeous tits.
Billie Star – Funday
In a remote secluded palace, Renato and James decided to throw a small intimate pool party so they brought two beautiful babes that would drive you crazy. They were Billie Star and Victoria Daniels, the hottest chicks the Czech Republic could offer. They were extremely horny and knew it was only a matter of time before the guys got horny, so after a brisk swim it was time to play! Renato and James took the babes to the back and gave them the dicking of their lives!
Kenna James – Play Date
Its time for the lovely Kenna James to go house shopping and sexy Aspen is the one showing her around. This particular home really gets her juices going and it doesn't take long for them to get naked and see who has the nicest pussy in the house.
Amirah Adara – Ohh My
Amirah Adara got to stay in one of the best Mike's apartment to date. She was spoiled in paradise. We stopped in the early afternoon to she if she was ready to pay some rent. She looked so fresh and bright as the sun out side. We gave her a bikini like no other for a dip in the pool of oasis. The pool and location was almost as perfect as Amirah. She was the icing on the cake for sure. She teased us when she got undressed and in the pool, but that wasn't going to get her a free ride. They stripped and moved inside with excitement as if they were two loved birds on a honeymoon. Make no mistake though Renato knew this was just as much business as it was pleasure. He made sure to tease Amirah with his tongue as much as she teased us with her body. Once her pussy was as wet as the pool Renato slid into her munch box. He fucked her tight swimming hole in all the right ways. He dove back down there a couple of times it was so sweet. He even blew his load inside of her she felted so good. This day in paradise was one to watch a few times over.
Ashley Adams – A Bit Of Ashley
We had plans to go with Ashley Adams to the beach but when we arrived at her place to pick her up, she convinced us to stay in by sensually squeezing her huge tits. She still had her swimsuit on which was no match for her melons. To our delight they slipped out and we got to see her hard nipples. Ashley slowly slid her hand down to her bald beaver and gently rubbed on her clit while begging for a hard cock. After worshipping her DD's, Chad relentlessly fucked her tight pussy all over the living room and then shot his load all over her tits.
Debbie Clark – Cakealicious
Debbie came by and knocked on our door looking for the fiesta like so many girls before her. She showed us her gorgeous tits as soon as we asked for our password. She was quite eager to get access to the fiesta. Debbie told us all her top 3 favorite positions and we happily obliged. I think it's pretty much a sure thing she'll be back for more.
Goldie Oritz – Deep Trouble
Robby was chilling over Goldie's house planning their date for that night. Like any young couple sex was on the mind before hitting the town. Luckily for them Dad was out of town and Step-Mom left to work. Call it intuition that even step-moms have, Syren came back to the house sensing that Goldie and Robby were up to no good. And that's exactly was looking, some naughty action. After all her husband was out and she was craving some dick. Syren caught them fooling around but what bothered her most was that Goldie was still a rookie at pleasing her man. Syren took upon her self to give Goldie some pointers on blowjobs, nut fondling, pussy licking, pussy fingering, riding dick, I mean she was an open book, as open as her legs as she took the first ride on Robby's dick. My favorite part was the crazy motor tongue action by Syren while giving a bj in the kitchen. DO NOT miss that.
Brianna Ray – Lovely Lovers
Bree couldn't quite handle the task of painting and wanted some help. She called Sovereign over to get some relief. Sovereign came in and took control. Once she was on the ladder Bree got a nice view of some ass in her face. She then felt the need to relieve something else. She started to run her finger under the edge of Sovereign's short shorts. The project at hand changed rather quickly as Bree started to take handfuls of ass. Sovereign came down from the ladder and their lips locked up. The tits came out and the nipples grew hard. As the little amount of paint that was applied on the wall dried, these two naughty hotties did some stokes with their tongues instead of brushes. They pleased each others hot boxes and back door peep holes. Their pussies were wetter than the paint as they buried there faces in between their legs because thats pretty much the only way to make any progress. As they showed it is always better to cum first, then you can concentrate on the task at hand.
Ziggy Star – Jiggy With Ziggy
Ziggy had a long day at the Cabaret and decided to take a break. At that very moment I pull up and spot her little sweet ass smoking a square. She looked a little stressed out, which meant easy pickings to take back home. After lathering her up with my charm she decided to come back home with me. Thats when the fun began, Ziggy was a damn freak and she let it all out! First the lap dance then she sucked my cock real proper! I couldn't resist anymore and had to pull those panties down and beat that pussy up! You can say Ziggy was more than satisfied.
This time around we got the very cute, Stacey Levine. She is super cute with a naughty smile. She explained how she loved huge cocks. She began masturbating while talking about how she wanted a big dick in her mouth and in her pussy. She got that big dick just like she craved. She sucked and fucked that cock. She got her pussy drilled and got that cream all over her pretty face.

I am wondering about safe, reasonably priced places to stay within walking distance (four or five blocks) of Captain Hooks? Hotels, motels, condos??? Also, are there restaurants within walking distance, and/or at least one decent grocery store? I'm aiming to visit in January or February, but I would rather not have to drive or worry about parking if it can be helped.

TORONTO, Nov. 14, 2012 /CNW/ - Posera-HDX Ltd. ("Posera-HDX") (the Company) announced today its financial results for the three and nine-months ended September 30th, 2012. Posera-HDX is listed on the TSX under the symbol "HDX".
Paul Howell, Chief Executive Officer, reports:
While fourth quarter business activity has improved drastically, the third quarter of 2012 was a difficult period. There were fewer new restaurants opened because of the worldwide economy. There were also fewer restaurant renovations and technology refreshes. The lack of available third party lease funding for clients resulted in fewer restaurants being approved for technology financing, the reseller community experienced lower than expected software sales and a major vendor to Posera-HDX had significant inventory availability issues. These factors have resulted in slower than expected sales activity in the third quarter of 2012. Sales and service revenues for the three-months ended September 30, 2012 were $4,032,574 representing a decrease of 11.2% from $4,541,336 from the three-months ended September 30, 2011.
Excluding the Company's investment in the payment processing division, one-time expenses and non-cash costs associated with the amortization of acquired intangible assets, property plant and equipment and stock-based compensation, the Company would have recognized normalized EBITDA profit of $140,401 for the three-months ended September 30, 2012.
The Company experienced a normalized EBITDA loss of ($32,206) for the three-months ended September 30, 2012 of which, $172,607 is due to the ongoing expenses related to the Company's investment strategy for our payment processing division. Additionally, the Company incurred $107,964 of one-time expenditures during the three-months ended September 30, 2012.
Company-wide non-cash amortization of intangible assets and property plant and equipment was $365,470 and stock-based compensation was $87,239, for the three-months ended September 30, 2012. HDX Payment Processing Ltd. ("HDXPP") (the acquired Cash N Go Ltd. payments processing division) experienced a loss of $194,551 and Posera-HDX Scheduler Inc. (the acquired assets of 2020 Hyperscheduler / Hypervison) experienced a loss of $38,959. The Company expects to continue to make significant investments in these divisions into the foreseeable future and will strive to increase revenue for these divisions and products as quickly as possible.
Posera-HDX Ltd. continues to invest and focus on developing significant new revenue opportunities that are complimentary to the Company's current operational foundation and synergistic with the Company's intellectual property assets. New software as a service ("SaaS") products and business modules with recurring revenue are under construction. This will allow the Company to deliver an enhanced range of services to the Company's current client base and will bolster the Company's ability to attract new customers.
Following the acquisition of HDXPP in December 2011, and following the announcement on June 14th, 2012 that the Company has been approved for membership to the Interac Association as an Indirect Connector to perform the functions of an Acquirer in the Shared Cash Dispensing ("SCD") Service, Posera-HDX continues to make significant investments to enhance systems, facilities, and operating procedures in order to secure the necessary approvals to operate a payment processing switch and an ATM transaction processing switch. Through HDXPP, Posera - HDX owns and operates a Postillion payment switch developed by S1 Corporation. In addition, to the provision of SCD services, Posera-HDX plans to expand the payment switch to facilitate the processing of Point-of-Sale transactions for its merchant client base. HDXPP has retained team members and contractors with the appropriate industry expertise to allow the Company to further develop the payment processing division with an eye toward monetizing the Company's investment in this division as quickly as possible. To take advantage of the convergence in retail technologies currently underway, the Company continues to pursue merger and acquisition opportunities with complimentary organizations although none are specifically named at this time.

[slides] A New Architecture for the Internet of Things By @JKirklan | @ThingsExpo @RedHatNews #IoT #M2M #InternetOfThings
Explosive growth in connected devices. Enormous amounts of data for collection and analysis. Critical use of data for split-second decision making and actionable information. All three are factors in making the Internet of Things a reality. Yet, any one factor would have an IT organization pondering its infrastructure strategy. How should your organization enhance its IT framework to enable an Internet of Things implementation? In his session at @ThingsExpo, James Kirkland, Red Hat's Chief Arch...

Shirou CAN be annoying. "I wanna do the right thing. I wanna do all the fighting instead of the other better-prepared, much-stronger, more-experienced fighters. Too bad I always end up getting my butt kicked."
A B- seems a bit low. Especially considering that it's Theron, who a bit more generous as a reviewer for these types of shows. But the first half of the series is definitely the weaker one.

|Even after watching Fate/ZERO, Shirou's attitude and actions are still incredibly grating. I don't care if his heart is in the right place, he's a sexist moron, trying to put warped ideals above the stark reality of his (and Saber's) situation.

|Yes his actions are annoying, but don't forget to take into account the huge hero complex that he developed because of his past experience.

|I always thought the naivete of Shirou's ideals were part of the point. It has been a while since I've seen the show, but I thought he matures a little by the end.

I think one of the problems here regarding his idealism is that this is the Fate route. He's idealistic in the Fate route. In Unlimited Blade Works spoiler[he's less idealistic, but still a bit.] and Heaven's Feel spoiler[he is not idealistic.]
If those spoiler tags are too implicit, someone can say something and I will just dump the whole thing in to a spoiler tag.

This is where frankly I just don't get Theron. And I don't say that to be critical. He just genuinely perplexes me. It's not because he's wrong either. He's right about FSN. There is certainly a harem type set up underlying even if very little comes of it (although I admit there are undeniably a couple harem trope moments). I would definitely have to call it a fairly superficial and benign instance overall though. A pretty minor case that only the most harem opposed would really have a big problem with. Which again is fine, but also thoroughly perplexing from a guy who usually gives these tropes a pass in much more extreme cases than this.

It is part of the point, and in terms of the original material, makes sense. He is suppose to mature over the story paths, but this doesn't transfer as well to the anime as it is a stand alone path. In fact for the VN, [ubw spoiler] spoiler[his immaturity in the first arc is essential to establish why Archer had such a hard fall and end up the way he is, but just from the anime's stand alone path you don't get to really see these results.]

That's a interesting point. Why would Harem fare be bad in Fate/Stay Night but alright in dozens of other titles he's reviewed over the years?
|Back to top
Posts: 125
I think that its because Fate/stay night has such great potential as an epic fantasy adventure, a potential which it usually capitalizes on, that these harem tropes seem particularly odd and noticeable, despite not being very pronounced. They don't seem like they belong, even though we know the reason their there.

most people just don't want to admit that typemoon is an eroge company and believe fate series is not a harem show
personally, I do not think the fate series is in the same boat as tsukihime, it is much more mainstream, hence almost being a harem show

Who exactly is "most people"? Are you insinuating that any of the people in this thread think this? Because that would be utterly baseless and therefore quite a silly thing to say.

Yes, because Tsukihime is tooooootally not an eroge and tooooootally not haremish at all.

I saw the anime a while ago and haven't finished the visual novel, but I think Theron is overstating the prevalence of the eroge elements in the visual novel itself. There are sex scenes (apparently hilarious; I'm looking forward to finding out), but the whole game is not filled with sleazy fanservice that's been removed for the anime adaptation.
As a related point, and this is probably just being over-technical, since Fate/stay night is the original self-contained work, reading its prequel to understand it should not be (and I never found it) necessary: Shirou's judging his philosophy against Kiritsugu situation is explained in flashbacks and narration. It's certainly a point of interest and contrast, though. Oh, and Shirou is dumb as rocks with his obliviousness and failure to grasp simple concepts - even if you forgive him his slavish devotion to his naïve philosophy.
Anyway, I enjoyed the review, it mostly echoes my view on the series.

|Well, sounds like it might just be more worth it for me to just wait for Sentai to release the complete series on DVD next month since it sounds like one of the worse BD conversions... Anyways, haven't seen this yet, but I liked Fate/Zero enough to see what happens next.

How far you're into the visual novel? It's not until UBW that you have a full grasp of his reasoning and he's definitely not the "people die if they are killed" and "girls shouldn't fight, period" guy people judge him as after watching the anime.

HC commutes to life term death penalty in murder case
New Delhi: A man`s death penalty for killing his foster parents and his pregnant wife for opposing his extra-marital affair was on Friday commuted to life imprisonment by the Delhi High Court.
A bench of justices Reva Khetrapal and Sunita Gupta reduced the sentence of 29-year-old Nitin Verma considering his age and antecedents while disposing of the state`s plea for confirmation of death penalty.
"No doubt triple murder has been committed by the convict in a gruesome and diabolic manner but it cannot be lost sight of the fact that this was not a murder to satisfy any greed. The accused has no bad antecedents, neither he is a hardcore criminal, nor an anti-social element nor even an anti-national element.
"He is a young boy. The possibility of his rehabilitation and reformation is not foreclosed. As such, we are of the opinion that this is not a case where death penalty is warranted. The appellant/accused, therefore, instead of being awarded death penalty is sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for life...," the bench said.
Verma had stabbed his handicapped father, mother and his six-month pregnant wife to death in April 2008. He had been adopted by his parents when he was barely a few days old.
While awarding death penalty, the trial court had held that Verma, who was working with a courier company, was a menace to the society.
The court had said that Verma had committed the three murders in a pre-planned manner one after another. He had first killed his father on the ground floor of the house, then rushed to the first floor and killed his mother and thereafter gone into his room where he killed his wife.
"All the three victims had been stabbed a number of times all over their bodies and all were lying in a pool of blood. This shows the brutality of the acts of the convict and the diabolic as well as the grotesque manner in which he committed the murder," the trial court had said.
It had said that the convict wiped out his whole family consisting of his parents and wife in order to ensure that he continued his liaison with a girl in the neighbourhood and to marry her.
"The convict is a menace to the society. When he did not spare his own parents and wife and killed them in cold blood, what respect he would show for the lives of others. The convict is like a live bomb, which has the potential of causing a huge catastrophe, if not destroyed at the earliest," the trial court had said while refusing him any leniency.
It had held that the case was "rarest of rare" which shook the collective conscience of the society.
"There was no justification at all for the convict to commit the grotesque killings. The convict appears to be without any remorse," it had said.

Perth 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships eighth day was the last day of competition for the four Olympic class events being contested this week, ahead of the Medal Races to be sailed on Sunday.
Women's RS:X Gold fleet sailors had qualified before the final day - ISAF Sailing World Championships Perth 2011
After the Finn, Men's 470, Women's RS:X and Laser Radial completed racing today 39 nations, out of the 79 competing in Perth, have qualified to compete at the London 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition.
Hungary's Diana Detre took the final qualification spot in the Women's RS:X today following a tense final race.
The Netherlands' Lilian de Geus trailed the Hungarian by six points with two races remaining but after race nine the Dutch girl closed the gap to a single point after finishing fourth compared to Detre's ninth place. The pressure was on in the final race with Geus and Detre fighting early on. But the Hungarian did what she needed to do to qualify Hungary by finishing five points ahead of de Geus.
'I am pretty happy because it was really tight at the end,' Detre said onshore racing. 'Before the last race Lilian de Geus could still beat me to take the final place so it was going to be really close. But in the last race I beat her by quite a lot of distance so I'm happy that happened.'
The Hungarian was unaware of the point's deficit as she headed into the final race but knew her task, and after a minor setback she came through on top. Detre added, 'I didn't know the exact points going into the final race as I wasn't counting in my head. I just wanted to do what I had to do and just finish before her by as much distance as I could.
'In the second race I fell off and injured myself a little bit so it was really hard to concentrate on the race but I was still able to do it.'
With qualification for Hungary guaranteed Detre now has time to relax, but her spot is not cast-iron for London 2012 with Sara Cholnoky also in contention for the Hungarian spot, 'Next up for me is a bit of rest and then I am going to Spain to train for the next World Championships but before I am going to compete at the Europeans and then train and train before London 2012.'
After the fleet split 18 nations had guaranteed their Women's RS:X places with 20 of the 28 Olympic spots on offer in Perth, Hungary join them as do Greece after Angeliki Skarlatou took the 19th place.
Twenty five of the 29 Olympic spots available at Perth 2011 in the Laser Radial were decided following the fleet split leaving four available for Silver fleet sailors to fight over. Singapore's Elizabeth Yin, Portugal's Sara Carmo, Japan's Kanako Hiruta and Norway's Marthe Enger Eide all qualified their nation after ten races.
St. Lucia's Beth Lygoe came close to qualifying her nation but finished 14 points off the Norwegian. With nine of the further 39 spots available at the Laser World Championship next year, Lygoe, and all the other nations have a second chance to qualify for the London 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition.
Ahead of the final day in the Men's 470 Gold fleet 24 nations were fighting for 19 London 2012 places available in Perth. In the end Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Croatia, Spain, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Sweden and the USA all came through strong to take Olympic spots.
And in the Finn class, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Spain, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Russia, Slovenia, Sweden, Ukraine, and the USA took the 18 London 2012 spots up for grabs at Perth 2011.

The Range War Lyrics
Artist: Todd Rundgren
Album: Back To The Bars
Yore Daddy runs sheep and mah uncle runs cattle
Nothin' can keep us out of this battle they wage
As it burns up the range, 'til no man is left
In the saddle
Yore ranch is upstream and they dammed up the water
Thirsty cows scream for mah uncle to slaughter
The sheep while yore Daddy's asleep
And I do the same for his daughter
If I had my own way, we would be together
Back in Pittsburgh
It's the only town east of the river I know
And I feel kinda bad, bringin' our grief
Upon this pore old farmer's house
But we ain't got nowhere else to go
Three years on this range since they started the range war
Nothing has changed except maybe change for the worst
If I'd married you first,
there might not have been any range war
You wouldn't be lost to the range war
If I had my way, we would be together...

Telia revises iPhone service plans for Sweden
Following complaints from potential customers regarding the voice, text, and data limits on its previously announced iPhone 3G service plans, Swedish iPhone carrier Telia has revised its service offerings for the soon to be released handset. Instead of modifying the plans for the iPhone 3G, the carrier has chosen to allow users to pick from its existing plans for other mobile phones, then add a 199 SEK (roughly $33) unlimited data option. It remains to be seen whether other international iPhone carriers facing public scrutiny over their service plan pricing, such as Rogers in Canada, will follow suit and modify their plans to meet customer demand.

They didn't revise anything, they just didn't announce the other avalible plans in the beginning.
They wrote that you could also choose from their existing plans from the start(just not which ones).
Posted by Charles Starrett on July 3, 2008 at 4:29 PM (CDT)
There is no mention of offering any further plans beyond the initial iMini, iMidi, and iMaxi plans in Telia's press release announcing its pricing for the iPhone 3G.
Posted by Charles Starrett on July 3, 2008 at 5:07 PM (CDT)
I'd be very surprised if Rogers modifies their outrageous plans. Living in Canada I know that Rogers does not easily bow to customer needs/wants. It is much more interested in the bottom line, which is why Rogers is more favoured by its shareholders than its customers.
Posted by Charles Starrett on July 3, 2008 at 5:22 PM (CDT)
Charles: Regardless of what the press release said, the page on which the initial, poorly received and still existing i-plans were detailed included - at the time of the release of those three original plans - a note that the iPhone would be available for existing or new users of many of their normal plans as well, including the note about the recommended 199 SEK unlimited data add-on. (This is precisely what made it memorable - why would Telia recommend an add-on for a plan that includes data?)
This was also what I was told by my friend, who works at Telia, even right before the i-plans were released.
Posted by Charles Starrett on July 3, 2008 at 5:40 PM (CDT)
I just skimmed through the press release before, but I'm almost certain that when they sent out their third newsletter(june27th) they mentioned that you could choose from other plans aswell (just not specifying which ones).
Jesper explained it better than me. :)
Posted by Charles Starrett on July 3, 2008 at 6:20 PM (CDT)
Both Oscar and Jesper are correct. Telia did state that other plans would be able to be used but at the time of the press release did not have prices set for those plans. Regardless of the new plan costs, Telia is still shafting its Swedish customers and should modify the three iPhone plans….as it stands, they will be losing a lot of potential customers (from what I've been hearing in a variety of forums).
Telia (as well as telcos in other countries) had the chance to pull in a vast number of customers from their competition if they set decent prices but it looks like very few countries are thinking about the customers. They likely think that people will buy this new-fangled toy regardless of the cost. Think again!
Posted by Charles Starrett on July 3, 2008 at 6:53 PM (CDT)
It wasn't in the press release, but it was mentioned in their special iPhone plans page right from the start, at the same time as the press release was published, that you could choose any ordinary plan as well, but they would present them later.
So this article is wrong, it suggests that they somehow changed their mind, but they NEVER did.
A lot of people were upset about the pricing of the special iPhone plans and called Telia all sort of things. But at the end of the day, when you sit down and actually compare these plans with their standard plans they're not that bad. For some people they're actually the best choice (depending on how much you would use the phone).
I think some of those who complained had their expectations all wrong. Telias plans *are* expensive, but there were expensive before the iPhone, so this isn't news at all and their definitely NOT shafting the iPhone customers any more then their usual costumers.
Like all other iPhone carriers they have to pay the price Apple demands, and then get that money from their costumers in return.
Of course, things would be *so* much easier if Apple just sold the iPhone like any other piece of hardware, not locked in any way. But that's not the way Apple chose this time, unfortunately.
Posted by Charles Starrett on July 4, 2008 at 4:29 AM (CDT)
Yeah but to be hones.. okej we got more choises.. but no better prices!
The cheapest plan with unlimited data is 167 $ more expensive then the cheapest iPhone special plan.. (totaly seen) Sure free surf, up to 5 GB data, then the speed is cut off down to 30Kb/s !!
So that was´nt really a specially good "improvement" to be honest.. :/
Posted by Charles Starrett on July 4, 2008 at 9:03 AM (CDT)
"Du kan använda iPhone med andra abonnemang från Telia"
You can use iPhone with other plans from Telia.

Simply Wonderful,
This review is from: UFOrb (Audio CD)
There are some albums that you know from the first listen are going to be favourites for life and this is what happened for me when I first heard this glorious album almost twenty years ago. The album is undoubtedly ahead of its time and is packed with amazing textures, samples and lush synthysisers. From the opening ethereal drones of O.O.B.E. we are taken on a journey that travels through different tempos and moods whilst flowing effortlessly from start to finish. "UFOrb" ebbs and flows from ambience to dub to techno taking the listener to all sorts of strange places with the melange of different sounds and other-worldly textures. "Blue Room", featured here in a 17 minute edited form is a true masterpiece. Bubbling synths and astral effects make a perfect bedding for Steve Hillage's milky way guitar meanderings before the piece develops into a deep and infectious groove with dubbed out percussion and a superb bassline by Jah Wobble. The journey continues with the dub epic "Towers Of Dub" where harmnonicas, vibes and all manner of sonic delights are sent echoing to some distant place over a smokey groove. "Close Encounters" keeps the underlying textures and ambiences continuing but builds into a hypnotic trance track with spiralling synth motifs exciting the ear. "Majestic" takes the listener into some almost tropical world with layered percussion and echoing flutes and chimes. This album is more than just music it is a voyage that is expertly crafted from start to finish. I am always hearing new things in it and I could not even begin to count how many times I have listened to it. I hope new listeners will find great pleasure in this record, a truly timeless piece of work.

No one really wants to be on an airliner that loses cabin pressure, but if it happens to you, rest assured your iPad will continue to work.
The Jeppesen division of Boeing, which creates digital flight charts and sells iPad-based electronic flight bags used by commercial and military pilots, said it recently completed a rapid decompression test of iPads, including the new mini.
The test was conducted in an on-ground pressure chamber that simulated a quick drop in flight altitude from 51,000 feet to 8,000 feet, and the gizmos just plugged along.
Of course, a paper chart also would function just as well in such a test. But who uses paper anymore?

Hello World! - Hosting with Github
I had created my site and blog a few years ago on my birthday. I started with a very cheap host that offered hosting at $1/mo. That comes with a price. Your site might go down at any time. That didn't bother me much at that time. Initially, my site contained a few static html pages while my blog was a wordpress site. I was happy with wordpress as it offered me a good looking blog with minimal configuration.
