Amgen and Cytokinetics said today they will expand a seven-year-old collaboration by extending to Japan their license agreement for omecamtiv mecarbil, a heart failure treatment now in clinical trials, and related compounds, in a deal that could net Cytokinetics up to $75 million-plus.
Amgen has a license to develop the Cytokinetics-discovered omecamtiv mecarbil, a small molecule, direct activator of cardiac myosin under evaluation in both intravenous and oral formulations. Under their amended collaboration agreement, Cytokinetics plans to conduct a Phase I pharmacokinetic study, costs of which will be reimbursed by Amgen. The Phase I study is intended to support inclusion of Japanese patients in a potential Phase III clinical development program for omecamtiv mecarbil.
In return for the expansion, Amgen will pay Cytokinetics $25 million up-front cash—a nonrefundable $15 million license fee and $10 million toward the purchase of Cytokinetics' common stock—plus up to $50 million in payments tied to undisclosed precommercialization milestones for omecamtiv mecarbil in Japan, as well as royalties on sales of the drug candidate in Japan.
Amgen agreed to buy Cytokinetics stock at a price per share equal to the 10-day trailing average of the closing price of Cytokinetics' stock on the last trading day prior to execution of the stock purchase agreement.
"Our decision to amend the agreement at this time is based on our confidence in the progress of our collaborative development program for omecamtiv mecarbil and on Amgen's recent commitment to expand its business activities in Japan," Robert I. Blum, Cytokinetics' president and CEO, said in a statement.
Amgen agreed to shell out up to $675 million-plus for its original heart failure collaboration with Cytokinetics covering the rest of the world—a $42 million up-front "license and technology access fee," $33 million toward purchase of Cytokinetics shares, and up to $600 million in payments tied to precommercialization and commercialization milestones.
The original deal also gave Amgen an option to continue the collaboration by paying Cytokinetics an additional, nonrefundable $50 million—an option Amgen exercised in 2009, in return for assuming responsibility for development and commercialization of omecamtiv mecarbil (then named CK-1827452) and related compounds, at its expense.
Amgen's expansion of its collaboration with Cytokinetics to Japan is the fourth initiative announced this year, and the third in five weeks, by the biotech giant toward shoring up its presence in Japan and the rest of Asia. Most recently on May 29, Amgen said it will co-develop and co-commercialize five of its pipeline medicines—three of them now in Phase III development—with Astellas Pharma in Japan, in the first project of a strategic alliance designed to address unmet medical needs of Japanese patients.

One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

1. Field of the Invention
The invention is concerned with thermoplastic bag construction, and more particularly the construction of bags to be supplied in multiple bag packs wherein the bags are interlocked by severable tabs which allow for a separate dispensing of the individual bags. Such bags normally incorporate integral handles and are mountable on a dispensing rack by the tabs with the individual bags being detached from the tabs and the pack by physically pulling the bag from the rack.
The bags are frequently formed of flattened tube portions selectively severed from a length of tubing of appropriate material and subsequently heat sealed along the upper and lower edges thereof. An appropriate mouth-defining U-shaped cutout is normally made through the sealed upper edge, the cutout simultaneously defines opposed handles. The known bags have been formed both with and without side gussets.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Typical examples of the known prior art will be seen in the following patents: U.S. Pat. No. 3,352,411 Schwarzkopf; U.S. Pat. No. 3,774,838 Christie; U.S. Pat. No. 4,062,170 Orem; U.S. Pat. No. 4,165,832 Kuklies et al; U.S. Pat. No. 4,199,122 Christie.
Schwarzkopf illustrates a basic bag construction wherein a partially severed U-shaped flap forms a detachable tab. Upon separation of the bag from the flap, two integral handles are formed. The partially severed flap constitutes the means by which the bag is mounted in a pack and on a dispensing rack.
The patent of Kuklies et al discusses the general nature of the known art, as exemplified by the Schwarzkopf patent, and proposes modifications in the handle configuration, the configuration of the bag mouth, and the nature of the detachable tab. Basically, Kuklies et al provides a handle and mouth arrangement which includes an enlarged projecting detachable tab fixed centrally along the mouth by a perforated or tear area, the opposed ends of the mouth incorporating downwardly enlarged arcuate notches commencing at the handles and terminating at the tab. These notches are indicated as being for stress relief. Upon removal of the Kuklies bag from the mounting tab, the mouth of the bag is defined, along each bag wall, by a central upwardly projecting flap with a perforation-defined edge and opposed enlarged end notches. The projecting flap and perforation edge, in the high stress area of the bag mouth, form areas of potential difficulty.
Both Christie U.S. Pat. No. 4,199,122 and Orem disclose racks for stacks of handle bags. The bags in Orem include detachable perforated tabs along the mouth-defining upper edges of the bag walls.
Christie U.S. Pat. No. 3,774,838 discloses a plastic bag with integral tie portions.
The bag construction in accordance with the present invention incorporates structural improvements which substantially enhance the appearance, strength, structural stability, and ease of use of the bag. The anticipated advantages are achieved through a unique formation and configuration of the bag at the handle and mouth area thereof.
Basically, the invention involves a uniquely constructed thermoplastic handled bag or the like wherein a central detachable mounting tab is integrally formed in a manner whereby severance of the bag from the tab occurs specifically below and generally normal to the upper edge defining the mouth of the bag, along a generally vertically turned portion which is well outside those areas particularly subject to stress during the loading and handling of the bag. This in turn significantly differs from the known prior art wherein the areas of tab severance occur at or above the upper or mouth edge of the bag.
More particularly, the present invention proposes formation of the bag with an upper or mouth edge which, at the opposite ends thereof, blends into the inner edges of the lateral handles through arcuate corners. The handles increase in width upwardly from the bag mouth to form relatively greater width hand engaging portions. The mouth of the proposed bag includes a central detachable tab integral with the front and rear walls of the bag and selectively severable therefrom in a manner which avoids unsightly flaps as may interfere with the introduction and removal of commodities. The mouth edge has recesses therein immediately to the sides of the tabs with severance of the tab from the bag occurring at the recesses and below the mouth edge whereby the bag mouth has no roughened edge portions in the area of maximum stress when subjected to flexing or distortion during bag loading.
The present invention provides for the pack-forming detachable tabs as minor integral extensions formed at a central or intermediate point along the mouths of the bags. With the tabs so positioned, a multiple-bag pack can be effectively mounted on a dispensing rack for easy access to and manipulation of the individual bags for removal from the pack.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pack of bags formed in accord with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the mouth and handle end of a single bag;
FIG. 3 is a front elevational view similar to FIG. 2 with the tab detached; and
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a bag detached from the pack of bags and partially open.
Referring now more specifically to the drawings, the bag 10, as illustrated, can conveniently be fabricated from a plastic tube gusseted, flattened and heat sealed at opposed upper and lower ends.
The formed bag includes planar opposed panels or walls respectively designated as front panel or wall 12 and rear panel or wall 14 for purposes of illustration. The side edges of the overlying panels 12 and 14 are interconnected by full length inwardly folded integral gussets 16 which allow for an expansion of the bag in an obvious manner.
Both the upper and lower edges of the panels 12 and 14, as well as the corresponding end edges of the gussets 16, are heat sealed throughout the length thereof as at 18 and 20. The sealed structure is then cut away inwardly and centrally through the heat sealed upper edge 18 to define both a bag mouth 22 and a pair of laterally opposed handles 24. The defined handles 24 will generally taper along the height thereof from narrow lower portions adjacent the mouth 22 of the bag to relatively wider upper end portions at the defined seam 18. In forming the tapered configuration, the opposed inner edges of the handles 24, as will be best appreciated in FIG. 2, diverge downwardly and terminate in arcuate corner portions 26 which join the vertical handle edges with the generally straight upper edge 28 of the bag mouth 22.
The detachable tab 30 is formed centrally along the upper edge of the bag mouth 22 and comprises upward integral extensions of the front and rear panels 12 and 14. This tab 30 is provided between and bordered by a pair of arcuate recesses 32 in the upper edge 28 of the bag mouth, one to each side of the central tab 30. This arrangement is clearly illustrated in the drawings and in effect provides for the base of the tab below the upper or mouth edge 28.
In order to provide for a controlled severing of the bag from the tab, an oblong cutline or slit 34 is provided transversely below the tab 30, extending through both front and rear panels 12 and 14, the tab 30 thus being non-integral with the bag panels or walls along the length of the slit. This slit 34 specifically defines a smooth edge along each bag wall, avoiding any irregularities as might encourage tearing under stress. The opposed ends of the slit 34 curl upwardly and inwardly immediately below and inward of the respective recesses 32, defining a severance or joinder area 36 of minimal thickness adjacent to and below the upper edge 28 between the inner portions of the recesses 32 and the curled ends, of slit 34. This thickness, while sufficient to provide for a positive securement of the bag and tab, also provides for a ready severance upon the introduction of a specific force thereto. The slit 34, between the curled ends, is curvilinear and defines smooth bag wall edges and a separate tab base between the joinder areas.
Noting FIGS. 2 and 3 in particular, it will be appreciated that by positioning the curled ends of the slit 34 in subjacent alignment with the recesses, and providing for a severance of the tab 30 at points corresponding to the inner or lower ends of the recesses 30, the tear area, or areas of edge disruption, generally indicated by reference numeral 38 in FIG. 3, occur below and adjacent to the uppermost edge 28 of the bag mouth, and more particularly along opposed generally vertically directed edges within a central generally curvilinear depression defined by the opposed retained portions of recesses 32 and the smooth curvilinear bottom edge, formed by the slit 34, subsequent to removal of the tab 30.
The tear areas 38, along the opposed generally vertical portions in the central depression defined by removal of the tab, are both below the upper bag edge 28 and above the smooth bottom edge defined by the slit 34. So positioned, these areas of surface disruption, caused by the physical tearing of the bag and tab from each other, are, under normal bag handling and loading conditions, subjected to little or no stress as might cause bag weakening or failure. It will also be recognized that the edges to the opposite sides of each tear area 38 are smooth and arcuately configured, avoiding any sharp disruption or areas of possible weakness therein.
It will be appreciated that the provision of the recesses or depressions 32 is significant, in conjunction with the subsequent positioning of the cutline or slit 34, in effectively lowering the base portion of the detachable tab 30 below the upper or mouth edge 28 of the bag whereby the tear areas 38 specifically occur below this upper edge. In this manner, the invention achieves the desirability of the central positioning of a single mounting tab while at the same time avoiding any structural weakening of the bag, particularly in the vulnerable mouth area thereof.
Noting FIGS. 2-4 in particular, it will be appreciated that the generally U-shaped cut which defines the handles 24 and the bag mouth 22 extends through the inner folds of the opposed gussets 16, severing the central portions of the gussets above the bag mouth 22 and providing for a loop handle construction with each handle formed of both an inner gusset layer and an outer panel layer. The formed tabs 30 will comprise two layers and, until severed, provide for a positive retention of both the panels with the inner gusset layers therebetween.
The upper portion cutout configures the front and rear panels 12 and 14 to define front and rear bag walls downward from the formed mouth 22, and upwardly extending handle-forming front and rear handle wall portions which terminate at the sealed upper edge 18 along each formed handle 24. These upwardly extending handle wall portions combine with the underlying separated gusset portions in forming what might be considered reinforced handles directly supportive of the four bag walls defined by the opposed panels and opposed gussets.
The described bag construction will normally be provided in a bag pack 40, as illustrated in FIG. 1. Such packs are formed preferably by a heat welding of the mounting tabs 30 to each other. This in turn can easily be effected simultaneously with the forming of the mounting apertures 42 through the aligned tabs 30 of a stack of bags 10 by utilizing a heated rod, blade, or the like. The rod or blade, while forming the apertures 42 through the thermoplastic material of the bag tabs, will also cause a melting and flowing of the material around the periphery of each aperture, fusing these peripheral areas together.
In use, the bag pack will normally mount over the rear portion of a rack with the bags individually forwardly drawn to detach from the tabs and engage the loop handles over opposed rack projections to maintan the individual bag upright and open. This general environment will be noted in the above referred to patents to Orem and Christie.
From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that a distinctive bag construction has been presented wherein specific provision is made to incorporate detachable mounting tabs on rack-mountable bags in a manner whereby the complete integrity of the mouth of the bag is retained, avoiding both mouth or edge weakening tear areas and edge disruptive flaps. Simultaneously, provision is made to locate the tabs in a manner whereby the bags are directly centrally supported and retained in a readily and easily accessible position for a direct physical grasping and movement thereof for disengagement from the tabs and a positioning of the individual bags in loading position.
The foreging is considered illustrative of the principles of the invention. Suitable modifications and variations, as may occur to those skilled in the art, may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.

Noble keys Chesy girls past TolsiaPublished 12:44am Monday, April 15, 2013
Jim Walker
CHESAPEAKE — One definition for noble is "impressive in quality or appearance."
Melanie Noble lived up to that definition as she pitched a three-hitter to lead the Chesapeake Lady Panthers to an 8-0 shutout of the Tolsia Lady Rebels on Friday.
Noble struck out six and did not walk a batter to get the win.
"Noble pitched a nice game. The big key was walks. She didn't put anyone on. She made them hit the ball and we played good defense," said Chesapeake coach Aaron Rice.
After a scoreless first inning, Chesapeake's offense ignited with a six-run second.
Ali Ransbottom reached on an error, Noble had an RBI double and Sydnee Hall tripled in a run.
Carrie Brock singled in a run, Laura Rice singled and Kelsey Huff had a two-run single. Macy Allen capped the rally with a run-scoring single.
Two more runs scored in the fourth. Huff and Allen singled and an outfield error scored a run. Ransbottom grounded out as the final run scored.
Chesapeake had 11 hits with Hall going 2-2, Huff and Noble 2-3 and Allen 2-4.

Republicans Becoming the Party of Diversity
December 04, 2014: Scan a crowd of Republicans, and a significant majority of those you see will be white. While in itself this is innocuous, it is also unrepresentative of American demographics.
Jesus, Adoptee
November 26, 2014: Next month, believers in Jesus will celebrate the virgin birth of their sinless Savior. We will think of the annunciation and Mary's hymn of praise, the cattle stall and the extraordinary star in the sky.
Why You Should Celebrate Thanksgiving Like a Puritan
November 25, 2014: The Plymouth Separatists, Protestant Puritan believers we now call the Pilgrims, were theologically minded in a way difficult for many of us to grasp. "These were biblical theologians," write theologians Joel R. Beeke and Mark Jones in their book A Puritan Theology: Doctrine for Life. They were "biblical in the sense that they quarried their theology from the Bible, but also biblical in the more modern sense of understanding and being concerned to expound the unified flow of the story of salvation and to see each element of it in its proper place in the story."
Why We Should Support Our Leaders But Trust in God
November 20, 2014: Conservatives are very pleased with the results of the recent elections. For some, there is the partisan satisfaction of Republican wins across the nation. For others, the Administration's failures in economic, military and foreign policy have caused great concern; it can be hoped that the GOP will take measured steps to redress them, to the extent possible. And for social conservatives, there is the nascent if modest hope that some good things can be advanced and some others be stopped.
Religion Remains Essential to American People and to American Public Life
November 18, 2014: "In an average week, one-in-five Americans share their religious faith online, about the same percentage that tune in to religious talk radio, watch religious TV programs or listen to Christian rock music.

Memo to Evangelicals: Don't Be Surprised by Fiery Trials, Including Intolerance and Name-Calling By Gay Activists

First Principles on Election Day 2014: Some Thoughts for Christian Voters
November 04, 2014: Some propositions for Christians in a nation of representative self-governance, a republic composed of 50 states, three branches of government, such semi-autonomous bureaucracies as the Fed, FARC, Fannie Mae, and the IRS, and uncounted numbers of city, county, state and other spheres of governance:

Marine Corps Chaplain meets with MARFORPAC Marines[MIGRATE]
By Cpl. Danielle M. Bacon
| June 17, 2004
Words of praise, hope and inspiration filled the air in Hawaii as the 15th Chaplain of Marine Corps made his rounds at Camp Smith and Kaneohe Marine Corps Base Hawaii, June 17.
During one of many stops on his two-day visit, Rear Adm. Robert F. Burt met with Marine Forces Pacific enlisted Marines from every rank to discuss the special relationship between the
Marine Corps and the Navy.
"Chaplains want to see Marines be the best Marine they can be," said Burt. "Sometimes, chaplains are not used as often as they could be."
"I have seen three kinds of chaplains," said Master Sgt. Steven Wadleigh, MARFORPAC G-4, who started out by talking about his boot camp experience and how the chaplain motivated him to go to church.
The second chaplain Wadleigh referred to wasn't what he initially experienced with chaplains.
"The chaplain's door was always closed. That gave me a bad attitude towards all chaplains," said Wadleigh, who added that the closed door left the impression that he was never there.
He went on to explain his third experience, "There was this chaplain, who would drive a mile from his office to visit the Marines everyday. He didn't have to, but he would, at least to say hi or talk to Marines about anything."
Wadleigh's attitude of any Marine going to the chaplain changed after that. "I had no fear that one of my Marines was talking to him," Wadleigh said.
Then Burt explained that working with Marines is something many chaplains strive not to give up.
"Serving Marines is like working at the finest restaurant, where everything is nice, upbeat and everything goes smoothly," said Burt. "In fact, when I worked as a monitor, I would have chaplains call me up and say, 'I don't want to leave the Marines.'"
When he would tell his fellow chaplains they had to go on ship, they would ask to go on a ship with Marines.
The master sergeant wasn't the only one that had something to say about their experiences with chaplains.
"It is really good to see chaplains who get involved with the Marines. I think it is good to know where they stand on different issues," said Cpl. Ruddy Daza, MARFORPAC S-4. "Knowing that makes you feel more comfortable when you really need to talk to them about important issues."
Burt made it a point to emphasize chaplains are available to Marines for personal growth and to contribute to their well-being.
After finishing his tour around Camp Smith, the Marine Corps Chaplain went to lunch with Navy chaplains and religious program specialists from Hawaii, where he passed on praise from Marines at MarForPac.

When inhumane evil strikes - sometimes the good in humanity rises to the challenge. In the wake of a purported sarin gas attack on civilians population in Damascus last month, aid agencies and activist are asking via social media sites for life-saving medication to help Syrian victims. More than 1,400 people were killed in the attack, believed to be the worst use of chemical weapons since Iraq's Saddam Hussein attacked the Kurds in 1988.
Activists both inside and outside Syria are using Twitter and Facebook to ask for donations to purchase atropine, a drug used to treat neurotoxic symptoms.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Activists both inside and outside Syria are using Twitter and Facebook to ask for donations to purchase atropine, a drug used to treat neurotoxic symptoms. Links to Web sites have been set up to receive donations to buy the drug for Syrian hospitals. The Medical charity, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF, also known as Doctors Without Frontiers) says hospitals in the Damascus area ran out of the drug atropine following the attack.
One user, identifying herself as a Syrian living in Austin, Texas, tweeted: "We need lots and lots of ATROPINE, please donate and save a life now."
The email address email@example.com is being shared among users, as are links to Web sites detailing how to administer doses of the drug. In addition, a Jordan-based organization that works in humanitarian emergencies, Hemmah Volunteering Group has already purchased 50,000 doses of atropine.
Medical supply houses in Jordan started running out of atropine, Hemmah said. Several of its volunteers traveled to Lebanon to buy the drug.
Hemmah transported 10,000 doses of atropine and other medical supplies to Damascus on August 24. It has not yet managed to deliver the remaining 40,000 batches of atropine injections to Syria.
"Crossing the border on the road from Amman to Damascus is not a problem as it is held by the Free Syrian Army," Wesam Al Aladdad, Hemmah's coordinating leader said.
"Volunteers go longer routes on motorbikes or sometimes donkeys to avoid the Assad regime's checkpoints," he added, speaking through a translator.
Hemmah has also sent a $20,000 batch of general medical supplies to Syria in the wake of the attack.
MSF has also sent batches of atropine to Syria. Three hospitals reported receiving approximately 3,600 patients displaying neurotoxic symptoms after the purported attack. These symptoms included convulsions, excess saliva, abnormally constricted or pinpoint pupils, blurred vision and respiratory distress.
Another medical charity, Doctors of the World, is also distributing atropine to doctors in Syria. "We're facing a growing demand for atropine, in case of new chemical weapons attacks," Doctor Rafik Bedoui, medical coordinator for the aid agency's Syria program said.

The son of an electrician from the ranching community of Amarillo, Texas, Eric Marshall started buying stocks when he was a freshman majoring in finance at West Texas A&M University. "I was always fascinated with the idea that anyone with even a small amount of money could own a part of a large, well-run business without being a speculator," the strapping Marshall, who is now president and head of research at Hodges Capital Management in Dallas, recalls in a hearty Southwestern accent.
Marshall, 39 years old, first met his employers on a college field trip to the Hodges office, where he recognized a kindred approach to investing in founder Don Hodges, 78, and his son Craig, 49, who now runs the company. Hiring Marshall straight out of college, they trained him to think like a private-equity investor in public markets. "We take a bottom-up approach that focuses on companies that are able to fund themselves organically through cash flow and are in industries that have high barriers to entry, pricing power, and secular growth opportunities that are beyond whatever is going on in the macro-economic environment," says Marshall.
Dallas-based Eric Marshall looks at small local businesses and finds big returns. Dan Sellers for Barron's
The strategy is particularly suited to small companies because they're growing from a smaller base and fewer sell-side analysts are studying them. So, on Dec. 18, 2007, Marshall launched the Hodges Small Cap fund (ticker: HDPSX), for which and Craig are the lead portfolio managers. It's a clone of the small-cap names in the flagship multi-cap Hodges fund (HDPMX); they had grown eight percentage points faster than the fund's annualized 25% return over the previous five years.
The innovation paid off handsomely. As of Dec. 18, its five-year anniversary, the small-cap fund has returned 7.9% annualized. That's more than double the paltry 3.8% annualized return of the fund's small-cap equity benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, during the same period.
Performance has been sizzling this year: The fund is up 20.7%, beating the year-to-date returns of both the Russell, which returned 16%, and the Standard & Poor's 500's 16.7%. It also beat 97% of the small-company growth stock funds tracked by Lipper. In response, according to Lipper fund-flow estimates, investors have added $162 million more than they withdrew this year, bringing the Hodges Small Cap's assets to $300 million, more than double the legacy fund's assets.
Long forgotten is the small-cap fund's rough ride in its first year, when it lost 40.6% in the stock-market crash of 2008. Panicky investors sold small-cap companies in favor of safer, less-volatile options, no matter how healthy the companies actually were, explains Craig Hodges. The small-cap fund more than recouped its loss over the next two years, delivering a total return of 104.3% from Jan. 1, 2009, to Dec. 31, 2010.
The fund is faring well in a volatile stock market due to its "very Texan" strategy of relying on "common sense" to pick "an eclectic mix of stocks," says Suresh Raghavan, a financial advisor in Houston who invests his clients' money in the fund.
Many of the fund's investments are in companies based in Texas or nearby, making it easier for Hodges' five analysts to research them. The Plano, Texas-based ViewPoint Financial Group (VPFG), for instance, is a regional bank that was converted from a sleepy credit union that Marshall calls "a value play with a growth component." Because the stock wasn't well understood by many investors, it was trading at tangible book value—essentially what the firm would be worth if it went bankrupt and sold all its assets—when Marshall bought it in February. He correctly predicted return on equity would improve under a new management team, which started issuing corporate loans with the strict lending discipline of a credit union.

The stock has fallen 25% since Marshall bought it in March, and now trades for what its fuel bunkers would be worth empty. Marshall still owns the stock, and expects his thesis to play out as the economy recovers.
Investors don't seem to be holding Marshall's rare miscalculations against him. On the contrary, says Raghavan, "My worry is, are they going to get a flood of money because they have had such a good year?"
That's a long way off, and Marshall has no plans to close the fund—certainly not before it hits $1 billion in assets. "This is a golden age for active investing in small stocks," he says. Fewer analysts are covering these companies than before the crash, making it easier for him to spot bargains. And many investors are more interested in exchange-traded funds and other passive products. Such inefficiencies, he says, will leave him enough opportunities to keep him busy for years to come.

Terry Stotts Hired As D-League Coaches Consultant
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images/NBAE
NEW YORK, NY Jan. 7, 2008 Terry Stotts, who spent four seasons as an NBA head coach with the Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks, today was named the NBA Development Leagues Coaches Consultant. Stotts coaching career has also included stints in Europe and the Continental Basketball Association. In his new role Stotts will evaluate each of the Leagues coaches and provide insight into improving their skills in order for them to elevate to the NBA.
Terrys experience as a coach at the NBA and minor league level will greatly impact the development of our coaches, said Chris Alpert the D-Leagues Vice President of Basketball Operations and Player Personnel. We are looking forward to having him work with our coaches to continue to improve the opportunities for growth and development the D-League provides to its coaches and players.
Stotts, 50, brings three decades worth of basketball experience to his new position. A second round draft pick by the Houston Rockets in the 1980 NBA Draft, Stotts playing career included stops in Italy, the CBA, Spain and France. He also played collegiately at the University of Oklahoma.
His coaching career began in 1990-91 when he joined George Karls staff with the CBA Albany Patroons. That season, the Patroons finished with a CBA-record 50-6 mark. After one additional season with the CBA, Stotts joined Karls staff with the Seattle SuperSonics. In five seasons, his Seattle teams posted a 357-135 record.
Following another assistant coaching job with the Milwaukee Bucks, Stotts became the head coach of the Atlanta Hawks 27 games into the 2002-03 season. Atlanta posted a 52-85 mark under Stotts tenure before he returned to the assistant coaching ranks with the Golden State Warriors. In 2005-06 the Iowa native became the head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, guiding them to the playoffs in his first season. Stotts owns an NBA coaching record of 115-168.
Stotts succeeds Lee Rose as the D-League Coaches Consultant. Rose joined the Charlotte Bobcats coaching staff prior to this season along side former D-League coaches Paul Mokeski, Jeff Capel, Mike Sanders and head coach Sam Vincent.

Livelihoods and landscape strategy (LLS)
Livelihoods and Landscapes Strategy - LLS
Objective & global scope
The livelihoods and Landscapes Strategy (LLS) is an IUCN forest programme covering 11 geographical components in 25 countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America. Its goal is to support national programmes to produce real change in the lives of the rural poor, ensure that forest goods and services are sustainably supplied and that biodiversity conservation is integrated on productive landscapes. The programme is executed through 4 themes namely,
• Poverty reduction and forests;
• Markets and Incentives;
• Governance (FLEGT (Illegal logging, and Rights & Tenure), and
• Transforming Landscapes (FLR).
Intervention process
The LLS programme seeks to bridge the gap between learning, generated from the field and poverty reduction strategies at the national level. This is pursued through the following processes:
• Targeting programme results and outcomes as opposed to project outputs;
• Ensuring that generated knowledge is available to decision makers within and out of the forestry sector;
• Enhancing the capacity of local civil society, district and municipal administrations;
• Making use of IUCN's network of members and partners, and
• Negotiation, measurements, learning, and adaptation, all related to outcomes and trade-offs for enhanced poverty reduction.
How LLS is different
• It is an innovative process that fully integrates and contributes to the efforts of governments and other partners to alleviate rural poverty;
• It builds and adds on ongoing and previous work with an emphasis on learning;
• It involves collaboration/partnership with other organizations rather than competition;
It brings together various countries in different regions overlaid through common themes with field activities that embrace situational analyses, the participatory development of progress indicators and effective monitoring of progress.
Scope in PACO
The LLS has been implemented under four major landscape types in the IUCN PACO space namely:
• Upper Guinea Forest Landscape : represented by Ghana and Liberia
• Sahelian landscapes : represented by Burkina Faso and Mali
• Congo Basin : represented by Cameroon, Congo and the DRC
• Great Lakes: represented by Rwanda and Burundi.

Shisha Cafe Lounge
Honey-colored and sparkling with spirals of gold thread, the Shisha Cafe Lounge's lush dining room transports its guests to another time and place. Here, votives flicker behind their lanterns' glass panes, refracting light across smooth wooden surfaces as tendrils of flavored smoke undulate through the air, mirroring hookahs' twisted, ornate brass curves.
Shisha's hookah flavors go beyond the traditional, with quirky varieties including White Gummy Bear and Pirates' Cave, which is rumored to give smokers insights into the location of extra-friendly parrots. To complement puffs, a full menu of Mediterranean food satisfies appetites with items such as tabbouleh, freshly baked naan, chipotle hummus, salads, and beef or chicken kebab sandwiches or rice plates.

Definitely the staff, all smiles and extremely friendly. Room was big, but a little empty
My windows were frosted and I couldn't see outside. Also staying on the road side of the building was kind of noisy. Also, breakfast was disappointing, my eggs were cold and the sausage was awful; but my pancakes were hot and good. Also, no wi-fi was a disappointment, as I didn't bring my computer and my iphone needs to stay in airplane mode
Confortable triple room with enought space and quite clean.
Very noisy on the main street. Choose the back street rooms if available. Only curtains, no black-out.
We stayed 3 different times within 3 weeks in this hotel (we went out of town twice between stays). First of all, the service is impecabble. The staff is very warm and welcoming. The location next to 2 huge malls means the availability of many restaurants and retail shops and services. Being a fairly new hotel, the interiors are very nice and clean, yet it feels homey. I totally felt comfortable here and would go back and highly recommend this hotel to others.
Rooms are great, we love the great big windows giving us a great view of the city and the pool.
The location
Nice location. Walk to very nice mall.
Was good.
The old rooms are very bad. The moldy carpeting and musty smell will make you sick.
The new rooms are nice. But they are also carpeted, and even though the carpet is new, it still smells. Stay away if you have allergies.
I was initially sent to the dungeon upon arrival (old room), but was then upgraded to a new room after insisting AND paying extra.
The Thai restaurant excellent.
The Japanese restaurant should add traditional western wines to its menu - i.e. French, Italian, Spanish wines. The sushi is mediocre.
Carpet is not a sustainable building material. Carpet accumulates dirt, allergens and mites deep within its fibers. Moreover, carpet is made of petrochemicals, it does not decompose in landfills and is generally not recycled.
The room's flooring material should be tile.
great service. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean. Not modern but very comfortable.

text: Rice trader freed from Senate detention by Ryan Chua, ABS-CBN News Posted at Sep 06 2012 07:27 PM | Updated as of Sep 07 2012 03:51 PM MANILA, Philippines - The president of a grains trader federation whom the Senate cited for contempt and arrested for supposedly lying in a rice smuggling probe was released on Thursday. Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile said senators accepted the explanation of Cesar Ramirez that his statements were inconsistent because he was nervous during the hearing of the Senate agriculture committee. "We just want to show them that they cannot continue lying," Enrile said. At a hearing, Ramirez denied that he was communicating with Protik Guha, an Indian rice importer, via e-mail. But Guha later told senators that he and Ramirez were e-mailing each other. The Senate also orderd Guha's arrest but he is already in India.

When I run a script from a browser, everything goes as expected, no errors. Same when running it from a Linux console. BUT when I run the exact same script from the Windows command prompt, I get errors when trying to insert some records into database. The errors are about Unicode characters, apparently:
Incorrect string value: \'\\xC5 ANA\' for column \'name\' at row 1
The windows console outputs this:
but the actual text is:
What could be causing this and how to fix it? How does the Windows command prompt affect the data that's being processed?

You are buying the XL spin just as they hoped you would. They're practicing for the board meeting that will decide on bonuses. Conservative reserving includes properly estimating reinsurance cessions (among many other things) and XL would have been right/conservative/accurate/good on its reserves only if it had assumed a much lower recoverable, in fact $830 million lower.
You are clearly less than familiar with the facts in this matter, and you should read up before you demonstrate your lack of due-diligence.In this case, the salient fact is that the purchase of the Winterthur unit came with the seller's guarantee of reserve adequacy. As has been the practice for more than 20 years, this guarantee was effected through a reinsurance contract. That contract, with the seller as reinsurer, provided that all adverse development, 100%, would be be covered by the seller. However, as we have known, there were caveats that required agreement on the amount of development that occurred. If there was no agreement, then there would be arbitration.Again, if it is still not clear to you, XL Capital "observed" $1.4 billion of adverse development, that it booked to its gross reserves. It then booked an equal $1.4 billion of reinsurance recoverable that it believed was owed by the seller (Credit Suisse) unter the guaranty contract.Once again, the seller (Credit Suisse) objected to the $1.4 billion and won an arbitration that said it only owed $0.6 billion. And again, while XL Capital now has to write down the recoverable THAT IT HAD ANTICIPATED FROM THE WINTERTHUR SELLER, it cannot RESPONSIBLY draw down the reserves.Once again, in case it is still not clear to you, XL Capital, for whatever it is worth, can make the case that in this specific case, if in no others, it has reserved ON A GROSS BASIS more conservatively than it might otherwise have had to.Next time, please try to come to the table more informed before you shoot your mouth off. There are plenty of other points for you to justly criticize this company's management.
