The main conclusion is that in trying to establish a formal symmetry between the two types of opposite constraints we find a deep asymmetry between the problems on minimum and problems on maximum number of colors. This asymmetry pervades the theory, methods, algorithms and applications of mixed hypergraph coloring.

They were both pitiful offensively and no, I still don't think the Thunder should have gone 24 million over the luxury tax and mortgaged the future to keep Harden. Harden sure as hell didn't help during the finals last season.
This kind of thinking is why the Thunder's championship will probably remain "in the future".
What you miss without Harden this season, is a player who can score and make up for the loss of Westbrook. Last season with Harden, the Thunder had 3 players who commanded a double team and who at various times depending on the competition, were virtually unstoppable on offense. Most of the elite teams have only one of those players, two at the most.
With Durant and Harden, the Thunder would still have been a very formidable offense, but without Westbrook AND Harden, they are a middle of the pack offense facing a tough defense that is able to guard the rim. With Harden, the Thunder had a championship combination. That no longer appears to be the case. It is about winning now -- who the frack cares about "the future".
But they are by no means out of this series yet -- we'll know after game 4.
If the Thunder does lose this series, Scottie Brooks' seat on the bench is going to start heating up. And if that happens it will be more fall out fron the Harden situation.

One in Four Elders Skip Drugs
Almost a quarter of older Americans skip doses of their medications or do not fill prescriptions because of costs, according to a survey of elders in eight states released in July by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Commonwealth Fund. Researchers from both organizations worked with those at The Health Institute at Tufts-New England Medical Center in Boston, which coordinated-the study.
An article published online in the journal Health Affairs and a companion report, "Seniors and Prescription Drugs: Findings From a 2001 Survey of Seniors in Eight States," feature results from the 2001 survey-conducted in California, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas-of 10,927 Medicare beneficiaries ages 65 and older. These states account for 42% of adults 65 and older, and 41% of low-- income elders, defined as those below 200% of the U.S. poverty line.
Medicaid is a key source of drug coverage for the most economically vulnerable elders in all of the states. In seven of the eight states, less than half of those age 65 or more who are living below the poverty level have drug coverage under Medicaid. …

1. Re: Using NDLP to Detect Official Documents Based on a Templaterukmalf Sep 11, 2013 11:26 PM (in response to rukmalf)
From what i learned from the TAC guys, they don't seem to have a way of doing this. all they can do is to detect the exact document only. and if we want to detect a docuement with alterations then we have to use regex (stupid answer).
and they also asked me to make a request to the mcafee asking them to inlcude my requirement as a feature or something. what disapoints me is that such a requirement is one of the basic needs of DLP and as i know some of the DLPs already have that.
2. Re: Using NDLP to Detect Official Documents Based on a Templatekalees Oct 3, 2013 12:04 PM (in response to rukmalf)
I'm starting to see the same issue extremely disappointing. I agree that partial file detection or partial file match is a basic requirement of DLP. See my post regarding Fingerprinting.

This Flatbush Jewish center puts the festival in the festival of lights.
Kids celebrated Hanukkah in style at the Flatbush Park Jewish Center on Dec. 1, where they played games and ate pizza during the community group's annual holiday party.
"My kids look forward to it every year," said Howie Hershkovich, who brought his five children from Mill Basin.
The more than 400 little Hanukkah revelers played carnival games set up at the Jewish center, which spat out tickets that could be turned in to purchase one of any number of fun toys to take home.
The Jewish center also setup some inflatable bouncy houses, where kids bounced to the beat of popular Hanukkah tunes, including the immortal Yiddish ditty, "I Have a Little Dreidel."
"We had great music," said program manager Tvika Levy.
And when the kids weren't gaming, bouncing, or dancing, they were eating. The Jewish center had plenty of pizza, popcorn and pastries to go around for everybody.
The Jewish center capped off the evening with some puppet theater, where lovable fabric thespians told the story of Hanukkah.
And the best thing of all, the swinging Hanukkah fest was free to get in.
"It's come one, come all," said Hershkovich. "Anybody who wants to come, they don't charge to get in and it's a very community-oriented event."

Prasophyllum castaneum (Chestnut Leek-orchid)
Advice to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (TSSC) on Amendments to the list of Threatened Species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act)
1. Scientific name, common name (where appropriate), major taxon group
Prasophyllum castaneum (Chestnut Leek-orchid)
2. National Context
The species is endemic to Tasmania. The species is currently listed as endangered under the EPBC Act and the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995.
3. How judged by TSSC in relation to the EPBC Act criteria.
TSSC judges the species to be eligible for listing as critically endangered under the EPBC Act. The justification against the criteria is as follows:
Criterion 1 - Decline in numbers
There is no quantitative data available against this criterion.
Criterion 2 - Geographic distribution
The species is known from two populations. The area of occupancy is 3ha. The extent of occurrence is 10km2. Data pertaining to decline or fluctuation in the population size or habitat is, however, not available.
Therefore, the species is not eligible for listing under this criterion.
Criterion 3 - Population size and decline in numbers or distribution
A total of 40 mature individuals has been recorded during dedicated field surveys. However, continuing decline in the area, extent and quality of habitat, the number of populations and the number of mature individuals has not been identified as an ongoing threat to the species.
Therefore, the species is not eligible for listing under this criterion.
Criterion 4 - Population size
The number of mature individuals is extremely low with the population recorded to number 40 mature individuals during dedicated field surveys.
Therefore, the species is eligible for listing as critically endangered under this criterion.
Criterion 5 - Probability of extinction in the wild
There is no quantitative data available against this criterion.
4. Conclusion
The number of mature individuals (40) that has been recorded in dedicated field surverys is extremely low. The geographic distribution of the species is also very restricted, it having an area of occupancy of 3ha and extent of occurrence of 10km2. The species is eligible for listing as critically endangered under criterion 4.
5. Recommendation
TSSC recommends that the list referred to in section 178 of the EPBC Act be amended by
transferring from the endangered category to the critically endangered category:
Prasophyllum castaneum (Chestnut Leek-orchid)

Defense's struggles
Robert Griffin III and the Redskins are still dangerous, just far less often.
Last year, Griffin set rookie records for passing and running. He went 9-6 as the starter, lifting Washington to its first NFC East title since 1999. In the playoffs, he blew out the same right-knee ligament that had been reconstructed in his sophomore year at Baylor. He underwent surgery 10 months ago (Jan. 8) to repair the torn anterior cruciate.
Griffin, withheld from all four exhibition games, returned for the season opener and has started all seven games. He looks less comfortable this year. He is making late, rushed throws. Opponents are better reading his fakes and rollouts.
Nevertheless, Griffin ran away from Cowboys edge rusher DeMarcus Ware in Week 6. Against the Lions in Week 3, one heave traveled 64 yards. Two weeks ago, following two blockers who'd lined up in the backfield, he jetted by Bears defenders for 23 yards.
His left knee is more of a concern now. Last Sunday, after a defender landed on the knee, Griffin sat out the final 5:43 of Denver's 45-21 victory. Griffin said he could've played if needed. On Monday, coach Mike Shanahan said the knee is "fine" but a little sore.
The Chargers (4-3) will face the Redskins (2-5) on Sunday in Landover, Md. Twice this year, they've gone on the road, failed to tackle a fast quarterback (Jake Locker, Titans, Week 3; Terrelle Pryor, Raiders, Week 5) — and lost.
"It's just a mindset; we've got to tackle," cornerback Shareece Wright said.
Oddsmakers have made the Chargers a one-point favorite to improve to 4-6 all-time against Washington. They won their previous road game of the series, in 2005, as a three-point favorite. LaDainian Tomlinson's three touchdowns overcame Drew Brees' three interceptions in the 23-17 victory.
The Redskins are allowing 33 points per game, same as the Chargers' previous opponent, Jacksonville. Poor tackling plagues the unit, which lacks speed.
DeAngelo Hall. Philip Rivers places cornerbacks into categories, depending on style. His category for Hall: "Dangerous," Rivers said. Hall plays press and off coverage well, closes fast, takes chances, and can catch. Pressing jumbo No. 1 receivers Calvin Johnson (Lions) and Demaryius Thomas (Broncos), he disrupted a slant pass in each game and ran both back for a touchdown.
Rivers keeps track of his alma mater, North Carolina State, and noted that Redskins rookie David Amerson had a bunch of interceptions — a school-record 12 — two seasons ago. Amerson, a tall corner (6-foot-1) who runs well (4.44 in the 40), has played in all seven games, starting three. His loose coverage led to big gains in Weeks 2 and 3. At Oakland in Week 4, when backup Matt Flynn threw late, Amerson closed fast and went 42 yards for a TD that launched a comeback victory. Blitzing from outside the numbers — a rare move — he sacked backup Josh McCown in the Week 7 win over Chicago.
Running back Alfred Morris (5-10, 218), a sixth-round pick from Florida Atlantic in '12, plays faster than his 4.67 speed. His patience and power suit Shanahan's foundational running play — the stretch with backside cut blocks. Third-down back Roy Helu (5-11, 215) is fast (4.43) and powerful but often takes direct hits. Rookie tight end Jordan Reed (Florida, third round) looks like a find. He is beating defensive backs and linebackers. Pierre Garcon (6-0, 212), the nominal No. 1 receiver, is more apt to find room when Griffin's run threat creates extra space. He's a powerful runner. Leonard Hankerson (6-2, 211) stops and starts fast.
Kirk Cousins (6-3, 209) is a pocket passer. In Griffin's stead Sunday, he was 5 of 9 with two interceptions, one a pick-six. As a rookie last year, he won his only start and was 33 of 48 overall (68.9) with four TDs and three interceptions.

1995 Pontiac Bonneville • 265 miles
I need to replace the transmission in my 1995 Bonneville. I checked at a salvage yard and they told me they needed the model number. Where do I find the model number on my old tranny? Thanks

Ok thank you. Now, I need to get my car out of the garage to have it towed to a friends place, but it won't even go into neutral. How do I move it!
Jan 6, 2012.
Jan 6, 2012.
Whats the story why wont it go into neutral?
The transmission just went out and it won't even go into neutral? I even had my 23 yr old son try to help push it. It won't go into any gear. Could it be another problem?
I was having trouble with my steering column before this all happened, is there any change it's that and not my transmission?
Thanks again, Shirley
Thanks again, Shirley
So if you try to shift from park to reverse or neutral what happens the shifter is just stuck in park?
What kind of problem are you having with your steering column?
When I shift the steering column does moved just fine and I can hear or feel it trying to go into gear. Yet the car itself does not move. Just last saturday I had my son try to push it so I could get it out of my garage. He pushed and pushed (while I had it in neutral) and finally it moved and we backed it out of the garage. Then just for the heck of it I put it into drive and it moved forward. I put it back in neutral and then drive and again it moved forward, but would not go in reverse. Then I put it back in park and tried drive again but it would not go into drive or neutral again. The problem I had been having with the steering column was that it didn't want to go into park. I had to juggle and push the shifter to get it into park. Then all of a sudden it wouldn't go into any gear and I was told that it was the transmission. So now I just wonder if it's really the transmission or steering linkage. Thanks!
Sounds like the transmission If the linkage on the transmission is moving and following the shifter then I would say its the transmission. Not going intop park was probably the transmission binding internally. Is the fluid in the transmission full?What color is the fluid?
Jan 9, 2012.
Jan 9, 2012.
I just checked the transmission fluid and it looks fine. Clear and red. I just had the car serviced a few months ago. Thanks again!

I would love to see a release on this, even if its from a PD company. Sock, Mandy and Cleo, the talking basset hound. I loved this show when I was a kid and I would love to see a collection. Anyone else alive who remembers this?

It pre-dated me, but I did get to see a big batch of episodes back when the Nostalgia Channel (now the Goodlife Network) aired the series back in the early-90s. I always liked it, but I'm a sucker for practically anything vintage. I seem to recall preferring the early episodes best. Some of the later episodes got bogged down, revolving around Sock and Mandy's 'secret' marriage. Always heard about this show growing up. Must have been a family favorite. But, I also think it was due to the coincidental fact that my father, in the late-50s, lived in a trailer and owned a basset hound himself, much like Sock did. Were the series ever to pop up on dvd, I'd quickly grab it, but I'm not holding my breath. I'd also love to see Jackie Cooper's other series, "Hennesey." I've never seen an example of it, but many people seem to speak quite highly of it.

Agreed that the first 2 seasons were the best. The 3rd season, after they were married was kind of weak, especially since Mandy's father, the mayor, wasn't in it as much. Hennesey was also a good show but it is the kind of comedy that no longer exists. Nowadays comedies have to have a joke every 7 seconds whereas a show like Hennesey is a warm, gentle comedy. Good show, chance of coming out, nil. At least People's Choice had some syndication in the last 20 years. Hennesey is a good show that is virtually forgotten.

Apparently Nick At Night now owns this show along with Love That Bob. Maybe there is still a possibility of a DVD release. I don't know why they would buy it if they weren't going to do something with it, and I can't see them running it on TVLAND.

Nick at Nite doesn't "OWN" any shows, they license them as does any other station.

How long before TNG were the Wrath Of Khan uniforms phased out?

I think it's a no-brainer that, had the TNG movie series somehow miraculously survived past
, they would have sooner rather than later come up with new uniforms.
Not really, because at best, the TNG gang would probably only have pumped out two more movies after
. Not really a big incentive to spend money on all-new uniforms if it isn't really necessary (it saves money).
I think new uniforms would likely come across if there were movies featuring a new post-TNG crew (not necessarily DS9 or VOY, but perhaps a new movie-only crew to carry things forward, either towards the end of the 24th-Century or into the 25th-Century).

I am wanting to get a .22 pistol so I can practice a lot more. It is getting to expensive to shoot my .40 S&W M&P as much as I would like. I'm not looking for one to practice any tactical scenarios, just sight picture, trigger release, breathing, etc. and I don't want to spent over $300. With that being said, most people I have talked to recommend the Ruger Mark II or Ruger Mark III. Are these good choices? Or are there better ones? I read the Mark II is harder to clean, but in a lot of the reviews online the people didn't like the Mark III as much as the Mark II. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I can speak for the Ruger MarkII. Nice pistol and very reliable. PIA to reassemble after cleaning.

I sorta prefer a Buckmark but the Ruger is a nice pistol as well. I picked up a barely used 6" Buckmark for less than your budgeted amount.

I'll support the Ruger. Great pistol, but as was said before it's a pain to disassemble.

I got my advice on a .22 pistol here on this forum and a Ruger was recommended. I bought one and it is an excellent shooter. I haven't cleaned it yet so I don't know about the difficulty.....we'll see soon.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
Buckmark, I had a sw 22a..to many issues with it.

I have a Ruger 22/45 MKIII, and I love it. I'm sure I would be happy with a Buckmark too.
I prefer the grip angle on the 22/45 over a standard MKII/MKIII, but I also like the feel of the Buckmark. I dislike the way the Beretta and Smith feel in my hand, and I'm not a fan of the smaller pistols like the Mosquito or P22.
As was stated previously, removing the magazine safety makes the gun much more user-friendly, and is the only modification I've done on my 22/45 up to this point.
I prefer the Buckmark myself. I alternate between that and whatever other gun I am shooting to spread out my time at the range and lower my overall cost. It is fun to shoot and I can drive tacks with it. Cabela's and Gander have a sale on these from time to time at about $229.00. I don't know if that is at every store across the country.

I have a Ruger Mark III Target... stainless with the bull barrel and I love it. I bought it for something to practice with as well. It's great for trigger control practice. Mine has been perfect. I have a S&W 22A Target as well but have had some issues with it. I don't think you can go wrong with the Ruger. You can tell when you handle one that they are built right.

12104. Effect of Arbitration on FINRA Regulatory Activities; Arbitrator Referral During or at Conclusion of Case
(a) Submitting a dispute to arbitration under the Code does not limit or preclude any right, action or determination by FINRA that it would otherwise be authorized to adopt, administer or enforce.
(b) During the pendency of an arbitration, any arbitrator may refer to the Director any matter or conduct that has come to the arbitrator's attention during a hearing, which the arbitrator has reason to believe poses a serious threat, whether ongoing or imminent, that is likely to harm investors unless immediate action is taken. Arbitrators should not make referrals during the pendency of an arbitration based solely on allegations in the statement of claim, counterclaim, cross claim, or third party claim. If a case is nearing completion, the arbitrator should wait until the case concludes to make the referral if, in the arbitrator's judgment, investor protection will not be materially compromised by this delay.
(c) If any arbitrator refers a matter or conduct for investigation under paragraph (b) of this rule, the Director will disclose the act of making the referral to the parties. A party may request that the referring arbitrator(s) recuse themselves, as provided in the Code, no later than three days after the Director notifies the parties of the referral. If a party does not make the recusal request within the prescribed timeframe, the party forfeits the right to request recusal of the referring arbitrator(s).
(d) The President of FINRA Dispute Resolution or the Director will evaluate the arbitrator referral to determine whether to transmit it to other divisions of FINRA. Only the President or the Director shall have the authority to act under this paragraph (d).
(e) At the conclusion of an arbitration, any arbitrator may refer to FINRA for investigation any matter or conduct that has come to the arbitrator's attention during and in connection with the arbitration, either from the record of the proceeding or from material or communications related to the arbitration, which the arbitrator has reason to believe may constitute a violation of the rules of FINRA, the federal securities laws, or other applicable rules or laws.

A spokesperson for Simon Cowell has seemingly confirmed rumors that the music mogul enjoyed a fling with pop star Dannii Minogue, insisting there was "natural chemistry between them."
RELATED: The best pop culture trios
Cowell hit the headlines on Sunday after a U.K. tabloid printed an excerpt from an upcoming biography detailing his alleged romance with the Australian singer, his co-star on Britain's "The X Factor."
In journalist Tom Bower's new tome, "Sweet Revenge: The Intimate Life Of Simon Cowell," the TV star is said to have felt "genuine love" for Minogue.
He is also quoted as saying, "I had a crush on her. It was Dannii's hair, the sexy clothes and the t---. She was foxy. She was a real man's girl. Very feminine."
RELATED: Men who've gone under the knife
Now Cowell's representative Max Clifford has apparently verified the allegations, telling Britain's Daily Express, "Simon was on his own at the time and she was on her own too.
"There was a natural chemistry between them. It's not something he wanted to come out now but it has - there is nothing unusual about it at all."
Cowell, who was interviewed for Bower's book, has yet to deny the reports but made a brief comment about the explosive book in a post on Twitter page on Saturday.
He tweeted, "Just seen the TV ad for the unauthorized book on me. Yikes!"

Armed with pneumatic pruning shears powered by a compressor, he races the clock to get it all done.
"Well, we're getting ready for this early spring time," he says. "The buds are gonna push, and we have a long time to wait until no frost."
"I saw just a little sap flowing a while ago," he continues, "so it'll be a couple weeks and the buds will be out. ... Not good."
This year's mild winter has not helped the situation.
"It's accentuated the problem," he says. "Buds will come out earlier as a result of it."
"Probably two to three weeks earlier than normal," he adds.
Although spring comes early, Wenger still has hopes for a strong season.
"I don't think it will affect the harvest if it comes through," he explains. "No, I think it will be a good year, provided we can get through the frost this spring."
The task of pruning is not one accomplished overnight. In fact, it stretches over several months.
"As soon as the leaves are off in the fall, we start pruning," explains Wenger. "We've got about 40 acres, so we have to keep at it to get it done. I don't prune eight hours a day, but I try to get out for four to six hours and work at it."
With more than 40 acres, the farm moved more than 100 tons of grapes last season.
Producing so many grapes leaves Wenger watching the weather rather closely.
"The big threat is the frost problem in the springtime," he says. "We could lose everything."
"If the buds come out a quarter inch or so," he explains, "a good frost of freeze would take care of them."
In the early 1970s, David and his wife took over the farm from his father, Paul Wenger, who put in the first vineyards in 1938.

2001 Pontiac Grand Am
I'm hoping that someone out there can help me. My 2001 Grand Am GT is acting up. It was running just fine and I even took on a road trip from the Bay Area to Sacramento with no problems. Then a few days after I get back, I'm driving home and someone driving next to me tells me my water is leaking and I look at the temp. Gauge and sure enough it's overheating. I make it home and just let it sit there for a few days since I wasn't able to look at it. Then I go ahead and put water in it to see if I can see where the leak is coming from. I don't see any leak except for the drops that I missed when I was pouring it. I wait a couple more days and then go back to it. Finish filling it up with water to see if there is a leak and nothing. I turn on the car and still no leak and the water level is not dropping. I drive it around a bit and then check the water level to see if it's gone down. Still nothing. So I drive it around some more and then when I stop at the store, and park, I hear the water boiling and then water spills out everywhere from that drainage hose at the resovior tank (I don't know the technical word for it). So I take it back home and when I park it, I hear the boiling again and more water out of that same hose. It's like it's backed up or something. Maybe it's clogged and I need to flush the radiator? Any suggestions?

Sticky thermostat maybe? I've got a 2000 GT coupe and I've noticed mine is always a little on the warm side too. Maybe the thermostat stays closed for so long the water starts boiling, then when it does decide to open up, it all comes running out. Just a thought.

Thank you to those few who gave me ideas but I found the problem. It ended up that the 2 cooling fans weren't coming on and hence the boiling. I replaced the two fuses and it's all good now! So simple! Thanks again

Amos, I enjoyed your article. During my involvement with the Prairie Plains Resource Institute, both as a long-time member and more recently through my service on the Board of Directors, I've been very impressed with the relationship that PPRI has been building with Scott Schaefer and the larger community of the Nebraska panhandle. It is a valuable model for preserving rural communities and conservation values.

Skoda's long-awaited large SUV, due in 2016, has been spotted testing once again. Disguised under a stretched Yeti body, it can clearly be seen in the pictures that the car will sit above the popular Yeti in Skoda's growing SUV line-up. The new model was confirmed to be under development in 2014, with senior Skoda sources revealing the SUV will be ready towards the end of next year.
The firm's bosses claim the SUV will have a key role to play in the company's bid to achieve 1.5 million global sales by 2018. Although production has not yet been signed off, we've been told it is "very close, if not yet finalised".
Image 3 of 14
It will be available with a choice of five or seven seats, and will compete with the likes of the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe. It will be a true off-roader, too, with capability that insiders insist will match that of a Land Rover.
Known internally as the 'A-Plus SUV', it's likely to borrow many design elements from the firm's smaller (and soon to be replaced) Yeti, namely the purposeful profile and rugged style.
The new model is likely to borrow tech from sister cars in the VW Group, which has some pedigree with big off-roaders such as the VW Touareg. It forms part of a concerted assault on showrooms from Skoda, as it plans to launch a new or heavily revised model every six months in a bid to reach its sales target.
Image 5 of 14
Skoda boss Dr Winfried Vahland has pledged his company's new seven-seat SUV will not take the company into expensive new pricing territory, and will likely be available for less than £25,000 in the UK.
The company admits that the new car will be a rival to the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento, but won't reach the near-£40,000 price of flagship versions of the latter.
"That range is too high. If I judge the price range of the Superb, that is the highest price range Skoda can work in," Vahland told Auto Express. "Our customers accept Superb prices and that will fit also for the SUV."
The 2015 Superb large saloon, unveiled at this year's Geneva Motor Show, starts from a highly competitive £18,640 for the 1.6-litre diesel. But it's unlikely that this smaller unit will carry over, and the seven-seat flexibility offered by the SUV will bump the price up.
It's also expected to borrow its platform, chassis and range of four-cylinder turbo engines from the new Superb, and won't feature larger units as, according to Dr Vahland, "six cylinders are out".
The model will not be called Snowman, as reported widely on the Internet. "It's a nice name but a fantasy name that's been invented," said Dr Vahland.
A third SUV could be on the cards, too, as Dr Vahland also admitted that his company is watching the explosion of the supermini-SUV market with interest.
However, he stressed that the model – which would sit below the Yeti in the company's line-up – has less global potential than the big SUV so is lower on the priority list.
"For a small SUV, Europe would work, China would not work, Russia would not work," he said. "But we are looking at the trends and studying them. We are open.
"If we go in that direction, it will not be 4x4 but it will keep the genes of a Skoda – a high seating position, roominess. But it must be affordable."
What inspired the design of the new Fabia?
I was pretty much amazed by the design of the Fabia vRS racing car – the proportions were so strong. It was flat, it was wide, it was powerful. So I said to Jozef Kaban (Skoda chief designer), I want a very sporty looking Fabia, a car that attracts young people and keeping our elder customers as well. For me it is a complete Skoda – functionality, practicality, roominess and a good design.
Will we see plug-in hybrids in Skodas?
For sure. But how do we convince Skoda buyers to buy a plug-in hybrid? Take a Superb with the biggest engine, add a hybrid and you add £8,000. That takes us into a price range where we don't find customers. If you take a regular petrol engine and add only £3,000 you have the key. Our first priority is to take the CO2 down of regular engines. VW is introducing plug-ins into the Golf and Passat. The technology is ready for Octavia and Superb. But I see it rationally. The prices have to be reduced. Whether that is 2017 or 2018 I cannot judge. But Skoda will not meet the emissions regulations of 2020 without hybrids.
Will Skoda ever make a sports car?
We will not make anything that does not bring feasible volume. Skoda will not bring a cabriolet as long as I am in the driving seat! We have the Octavia RS - that is our sporty car. But emotions are important for us. I could imagine a sporty line for the Octavia, Superb and A Plus SUV – more expressive design and features.
There is an electric VW up! Could we see an electric Citigo?
Again it is down to cost, but if I could make an electric car it would be the Citigo. That has to come somewhere along the road. But we have to make it affordable. And maybe the range has to stretch so you could take it into work for two consecutive days [without charging] – maybe 120 km. That could work.
How important is Britain to you?
We are very pleased with and proud of the development of Skoda in the UK. I have some priority markets and UK is definitely one. We want to and will reach 100,000 sales, however long it takes.

Tehran, Moscow share views on fighting drugs: Iran minister
Tehran and Moscow share the same views on fighting international terrorism, drug smuggling and many [other] issues." Iran's Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad-NajjarIran's Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar says Tehran and Moscow hold common views in the fight against international terrorism and drug trafficking. "Tehran and Moscow share the same views on fighting international terrorism, drug smuggling and many [other] issues," Mohammad-Najjar said in a meeting with his visiting Russian counterpart Vladimir Alexandrovich Kolokoltsev on Monday. During the meeting, the officials discussed ways to widen the Tehran-Moscow relations, the implementation of security and border agreements between the two countries as well as regional developments.
Kolokoltsev said Iran and Russia face common challenges and reiterated, "Today's crimes, particularly the issue of anti-drug campaigns, human trafficking and terrorism require a swift reaction."The Russian minister described the establishment of "legal unions" as "a first priority" for the enhancement of cooperation between Iran and Russia. He also said that the interior ministries of Iran and Russia enjoy "multi level cooperation in various fields," adding that signing agreements can help strengthen cooperation between the two countries. Heading a political delegation, Kolokoltsev arrived in Tehran on Monday on a two-day official visit upon the invitation of the Iranian interior minister. This is the first visit to Iran by a Russian minister of internal affairs since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Iran has a 900-kilometer border with Afghanistan, where narcotics production is very high. Smugglers have sought to use Iran as a main route to transfer drugs to Europe. The Islamic Republic has spent more than USD 700 million to seal the borders and prevent the transit of narcotics destined for European, Arab and Central Asian countries. The war on drug trade originating from Afghanistan has claimed the lives of nearly 4,000 Iranian police officers over the past 33 years. YH/HMV/HJL

HP and Microsoft just aren't fun
|| Print |
|Wednesday, January 09, 2013
HP's profitability is getting crushed and Microsoft's Windows 8 gamble hasn't exactly revolutionized the computing world. Each of these companies has pursued a misguided path in the name of "strategy". The truth is that this direction wasn't a viable strategy for either company because it didn't address the real problems either one faced.
A recent article in WebProNews noted that, for the second quarter in a row, Hewlett-Packard reported a write-down in excess of $8 Billion. (Yes, that's "billion" with a "b") The article went on to discuss the two acquisitions that led to these massive losses. It then talked about the large amounts of money HP had invested and wondered whether the issues were related to the market or to mismanagement.
But in my opinion, the facts point to a completely different issue. The issue is one of a lack of a meaningful, targeted strategy. Or perhaps more accurately, the presence of some poor strategies. HP had departed from its core strength in search of a way to compete with other popular technology companies, and it's the same mistake Microsoft has made.
The lure of mobile devices like tablets and smart phones, made popular by Apple, Google, and others, was just too great for both HP and Microsoft to ignore. So instead of working to leverage their enterprise/business positions, they chose to compete in the consumer mobile technology market. After decades of investing in their brands as serious business-focused solutions, each player decided to convince the public they were a fun, cool company. They've each chosen to try to shift their long-established brand away from what it stands for to something they are not.
And the results speak for themselves. HP's profitability is getting crushed and Microsoft's Windows 8 gamble hasn't exactly revolutionized the computing world. Each of these companies has pursued a misguided path in the name of "strategy". The truth is that this direction wasn't a viable strategy for either company because it didn't address the real problems either one faced.
They developed elaborate plans and goals which addressed the symptoms of their problems, and not the problems themselves. When symptoms are "solved", the so-called solutions generally create even more problems. The challenge that they both faced was that they ran out of innovations to grow their core businesses. Each is in a strong position to dominate and perhaps revolutionize how technology - both hardware and software - is utilized by organizations. They each have the ability to innovate how business harnesses and leverages technology. But instead of parlaying their solid business/enterprise brand, they each decided to play the "me, too" game.
Both HP and Microsoft have tried to convince the consumer that they're just as cool and fun as Apple and Google. But the only thing that accomplishes is to lessen their brands in the corporate world and to make them look desperate in the consumer world.
The lesson for us all is that the most difficult aspect of developing a viable, meaningful strategy is in truly understanding the core problem. Developing goals and plans of action which address symptoms (rather than problems) almost always makes matters worse. In addition, if one loses sight of the core principles and advantages driving their business, then it becomes easy to lose one's way and pursue actions which essentially "give away" or dilute that unique advantage.
Reinventing one's business doesn't mean abandoning the old in favor of the new. It means viewing one's business from a new angle, adopting new perspectives, and augmenting or leveraging what already exists. Neither HP nor Microsoft are fun companies, and neither is having much fun as a consequence of their misguided decisions.

However, Station Commander Superintendent, Kebafethetse Mothubane, has categorically denied the report declaring that 'the BNF conference in Jwaneng was not a security threat'.
"We are treating it as a normal activity," said Mothubane. He said that his office would only be of assistance if the BNF requested a permit to hold a political rally.
"Nobody has requested a permit. We can only assist if they request a permit to hold a political rally," he added.
The BNF goes
for its conference over the weekend and the party's factions are split over whether the meeting is, according to the organisation's constitution, a 'conference' or 'congress'.
Those loyal to incumbent party president, Otsweletse Moupo are pressing for a conference while those sympathetic to the disposed Kathleen Letshabo faction are demanding a congress.
Speculation is rife that this encounter might turn into another violent skirmish, worse than the infamous Palapye debacle of 1998.

Chrysler has barely begun production of the 2013 Dodge Durango, but it's already encountered problems that have led to a recall. An incorrect airbag module was installed in roughly 1,500 of the early-production, seven-passenger Durango models. According to Chrysler, these vehicles received mislabeled modules intended for the five-passenger version. In a crash, this could lead to the side-curtain airbag not deploying for the third row.

Following the President's State of the Union address, expect 'pro-worker voices' to 'organically' appear from every corner of the country with tear jerking anecdotes of laboring for decades at minimum wage. With around 2% of American workers being paid the minimum wage, the real value of a minimum wage hike is a debate worth having, but equally, and less discussed, is the importance of understanding who is driving the 'living wage' debate and who benefits the most.
New faces of economically depressed workers keep regularly emerging. For example, Naquasia LeGrand of Low Pay Is Not Okay recently appeared on The Colbert Report to drive home her talking points. When asked about her newfound celebrity status the following day, she exclaimed that she "never saw this coming." Similarly, Terrance Wise, a homeless, minimum wage worker and parent of three appeared on NPR's "On Point" to discuss the need for a wage hike.
While Naquasia Legrand may, in fact, have never seen this coming, her handlers certainly did. It's been well documented in the press that the tightly managed and highly choreographed NYC Fast Food Forward 'strike' was orchestrated, directed and funded by the SEIU. Similarly, it was later discovered that Terrance Wise was placed on that NPR program by a left wing public relations firm hired by the SEIU. As new minimum wage legislation is introduced in the US Senate this spring, you can expect a fresh flood of "faces from the crowd."
The president has failed to deliver on many union agenda items, most notably card check. With lame duckery bearing down on him, it's now or never and union bosses are looking for their pay off. While a minimum wage hike would benefit the 2% of workers at minimum wage, who it would really benefit in a substantial way are the unions that pegged their collective bargaining agreements to the minimum wage. If they can't get a hike on the federal level, the national dialogue promises even better payouts on the local level. The recently approved Seatac $15 an hour mandate in Washington state included a union exemption.
The only hurdle for union bosses is the fact that Americans, to date, haven't believed them. Unions simply are not credible messengers with the American public, and the president needs political cover. Further more, he needs more than a few good campaign issues for the midterm elections as Democrats struggle to retain control of the US Senate. The solution is too utilize 'independent' non-profit groups, worker centers, to appear provide the veneer of everyday American workers for the TV cameras.

Paola sells women's clothing and accessories. The accessories she offers include purses, belts, handkerchiefs, scarves, necklaces and rings. Paula sells from her home and in the business establishments of some of her clients: a clinic, a municipality, an institute of social preservation, and three hair salons.
With this loan Paola intends to purchase seasonal clothing so her inventory is up-to-date. Paola travels two times a month to purchase merchandise in Santiago (capital of Chile). She dreams of having a boutique, ideally in her house so she can look after her children. She has three daughters, two-year-old twins and a 14-year-old daughter. Paola also works at a supermarket stocking shelves, but she is unable to maintain a fixed schedule for this work as the health of one of her twins requires regular visits to the clinic.
Fondo Esperanza is an important contributor to Paola's business and family, because as an independent business owner she can manage her time in ways that allows her to better accommodate the daily needs of her family. Paula also values the support and encouragement she receives from the loan officer and her fellow group members. The businesses of the other group members include the production and sales of empanadas, fast-food, salads, chocolates, home décor (bed sheets, curtains, table cloths, etc.), sale of coal, underwear, jewellery, clothing, and a blend of crafted accessories.
Talca is in the Maule region, in the central part of the country. The majority of the population lives in the rural area, and is dedicated primarily to activities related to rural production. Talca is also known for its beautiful colonial architecture and artisan goods. The area's main attractions are the flora, the fauna, and the vineyards. Despite the fact that the workforce and production in Talca has increased, according to the recent census, this area is still, unfortunately, one of the poorest in Chile.
Additional Information
About Fondo EsperanzaFondo Esperanza (FE) is a private non-profit organization that supports entrepreneurship by providing micro-credit and training to people living in poverty in well over 100 cities throughout Chile. By providing these services, FE aims to improve the living conditions of the entrepreneurs and their families. In 2010, FE provided loans to more than 41,000 entrepreneurs. It utilizes a communal banking model in which groups of 18 to 25 clients meet on regularly and guarantee each other's loans. The members use their portion of the loan to create or expand their own businesses. In the group meetings, clients receive training though the FE Entrepreneurship School, which enhances clients' personal and business skills and ability to work in groups.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The decision comes after 44 Pizza Hut restaurants closed in January because of a legal dispute with the franchise owner. Pizza Hut is suing the franchise owner for unpaid franchise fees. Nearly 1,000 people lost their jobs when the restaurants closed.
Antoine Plessy, a region coach for Pizza Hut, says now the company is looking to fill management positions.
"We're really looking to get a good group of people to get started over the next few months and then promote from within," Plessy said.
Pizza Hut plans to open ten restaurants in the Baton Rouge area by this summer.
The company is hosting a job fair tomorrow at the Holiday Inn on Airline Highway near I-12 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Best of 2008: Best Celebrity Style
Celebrity Style is a huge part of Fab and that's why picking the best of 2008 is a serious matter. Are you all ears? Great. There are 365 days in a year, and we have spotlighted at least one, sometimes two stars, five days a week. You do the math. Still, it was fairly easy narrowing down the options, as there are six ladies we constantly turn to for inspiration.
Leighton Meester is a rising star, not only on TV but also in fashion. She rocks party dresses with such ease. Ultimate California girl Lauren Conrad stays loyal to her leggings, Chanel bags, and platforms. Sarah Jessica Parker has a more mature style and gives the youngsters competition via her sleek, high-fashion eclecticism. A laid-back look — flats, flowy dresses, leather jackets, jeans — is Rachel Bilson's foolproof approach. And finally, Nicole Richie is a master at dressing up jeans. It's a tough job, but help me decide the Best Celebrity Style of 2008.
