The Consignment - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The episode begins with Schiller's consignment on its way. At home, Marta gets a call from Leon, Schiller's man, informing her that the time of delivery has been moved up by an hour. Leon then informs Schiller that Marta has been updated. Marta is really nervous and Kat gives her a pep talk. Kat reminds her that after she has done this job, she will be free and can start leading a normal life. Natalie overhears their conversation, but doesn't say anything. Marta leaves Gabriel in charge and leaves for her mission. James Ramos tries to talk his boss into putting a wire on Marta, but he doesn't feel it's a good idea.
Just then, Newton, his partner, informs them that they have a got a lead. Mike on the phone assures Marta that he has arranged everything for their job and asks her not to worry about a thing. Before going to the docks, Marta has a chat with a psychiatrist about Boris and she says Boris hasn't forgotten his father's death and it's still affecting him. Just then, Bob gives her a call and says the other supervisor named Logan, who had turned them down, is claiming that he is working with her and Mike. Marta says Logan's lying and Bob says he believed Logan and gave him the date and time of the consignment's arrival. He adds that Logan wants $25k before the shipment arrives or he will go to the feds. Marta drops Boris home and picks up some cash to pay Logan.
Natalie asks Mike, who is waiting for Marta, what he and her mom are up to, and he makes up some lies. Natalie then talks to Gabriel about it and he says their father was into some bad business and he left Marta to clean up his mess. Gabriel then leaves with his girlfriend and asks Natalie to look after Boris. At the docks, Marta sees Logan at a distance and steps out of Mike's vehicle to meet him. Just then, Mike gets a call from his wife telling him a guy called Pablo and his friend are at their house. Turns out, Mike owes Pablo money and Mike assures him he will get him the money as soon as he can. Marta returns to the car just then and asks him to drive out of there. She says she didn't talk to Logan because she feels the feds are watching.
Mike feels she is simply overreacting and just then they see Ramos, who incidentally hasn't seen them yet. She calls up Bob and says that the feds are outside so the shipment can't be unloaded, but Bob says they are screwed because he already has. She asks Bob to load the container into a different truck instead of theirs and then asks him to meet them at the south gate. Bob jumps into action, while Mike are Marta are really worried because they just have two hours left to deliver the consignment. At home, Kat's husband sees she is really worried and asks her about it, but she is reluctant to reveal anything to him. She then calls up to check on Marta's kids, but no one picks up the phone. Next, it's shown that Natalie is headed someplace with Boris and while they are crossing the road, Boris sees a man on a motorcycle.
Boris recollects that the man is wearing the same shoes; the biker who shot his father was wearing. Bob manages to get the container loaded on to a different truck that drives away just before the feds arrive. Bob then meets Marta and Mike and gives them the license plate number of the truck and tells them which direction it's headed in. The three of them leave in Mike's vehicle to chase down the truck. Logan is working with the feds and had given them the information about the shipment, but Ramos feels he lied to them because they couldn't find anything. Ramos says it was all a waste of time, but Newton with a smile on her face tells him she has something to show him.
On the freeway, Marta and gang manage to locate the truck. Gabriel is somewhere outside with his girlfriend and just then he gets a call from Kat, who tells him she is at his house and Natalie and Boris are missing. Her husband suggests Kat call up Marta, but she is really reluctant to, which is something that really baffles him. Just as Marta arrives outside a diner where the truck is parked, she gets a call from Kat informing her about the kids. Marta begins to worry, but just then she gets a call from Ramos and it's shown that Natalie and Boris are sitting in his office. Turns out, Natalie found Ramos's card at home and decided to pay him a visit. Marta has a talk with Natalie, who says she is worried about her.
Marta calms her down and says she will talk in details with her, once she gets home. They then break open the container and Marta goes inside the diner to distract the driver. This is to buy Mike and Bob some time to remove the consignment. They load the box containing the drugs into their van and then signal to Marta, who leaves in a hurry. At Ramos's office, Boris tells Natalie that he now remembers the man who killed their father was wearing a boot with a yellow stripe. Natalie asks him to be quiet, so Ramos who is outside with Kat, doesn't hear him. Marta and gang hand Leon the consignment and he doesn't seem too happy to see Bob there. Schiller gives Leon some instructions over the phone and he then shoots Bob. Marta and Mike are both shocked, but Leon calmly says that Schiller would like to see them.
On the way to his office, they both conclude, Schiller would have killed them along with Bob, if he wanted them dead. Logan from a bunch of photos recognizes Marta and tells Ramos that she was at the dock earlier today. At Schiller's office, he tells Marta he had Bob killed because he was a liability. She argues that she handled everything, despite things initially going horribly wrong and so there was no need to kill him. Schiller tells her that she has potential and hints at the fact that he isn't ready to let her go, although he had promised otherwise. She comes back and tells Mike, Schiller gave her another assignment and she is working for him now. Mike is shocked to hear this and asks her what about him and she says he will from now on be working for her.
Marta returns home and Natalie is happy to see her. Mike too is happy to see his wife, at the end of an eventful day. Marta tells Kat that Schiller wants her to work for him, so she is planning to disappear with the kids because she feels there is no other way to put an end to this. The episode ends at this point.

Freeze frightens fruit growersPublished 10:43pm Wednesday, April 18, 2012
It's been a strange year for area fruit farmers.
Warmer than average temperatures in March caused plants to blossom and bud early. With the weather returning more or less to normal, those buds are susceptible to damage from cold temperatures.
That has farmers worried.
"You are concerned because your whole year is on the line," said Terry Holloway, owner of Concord Ridge Fruit Farms in Niles. "You trimmed and worked and did all those things necessary to get everything ready, and you can lose it in one night. But that's the way it goes in this business."
Holloway lost the majority of the primary buds on his concord grapes to cold weather recently.
He said the grapes have secondary buds that produce about 50 percent of the crop, so all is not lost.
"We hope to get some good crop off of that," he said.
Steve Lecklider, of Lehman's Orchard in Niles, said his crops survived with little damage, mainly because it was windy and didn't stay cold for very long.
"Anytime you have wind, it safens some of the process because you don't get cold pockets," he said. "The worst is having the cold settle."
Lecklider and Holloway used water to keep crops from freezing. Holloway coated his strawberries with a sheet of ice, protecting buds from freezing. Lecklider sprayed 48-degree well water on his sweet cherries.
"It seemed to work," Lecklider said.
The frost last week damaged a few varieties of sweet cherry and apple at Tree-Mendus Fruit in Eau Claire, but nothing economically significant, general manager Bill Teichman said.
Teichman said the cold spell didn't cause any damage as far as he can tell, but he was worried about the forecast.
"I'll be watching the temperatures closely," he said.

OXON HILL, md. — "The Big Bang Theory" doesn't have a monopoly on nerd TV humor. The preliminary rounds of the Scripps National Spelling Bee were just as memorable for comedic sentences as for any spellings or misspellings of words like "catalepsy" or "mastodon."
"Andre promised to regale his friends with tales of his entire odyssey," pronouncer Jacques Bailly said to one speller, "but it turned out just to be a 45-minute story about the time he got lost in Costco for 35 minutes."
After the laughter subsided, Lillian Allingham of Hockessin, Del., completed that bit of spelling "odyssey" by correctly spelling the word.
Forty-six spellers, none from Colorado, advanced to the semifinals out of 223 spellers still in the running after three preliminary rounds. They were whittled down using scores from a computerized spelling-vocabulary test taken Tuesday.
More humor is on tap for the final day of competition Thursday, when the 87th champion in Bee history will be crowned in prime time. The Associated Press

Ted Simons: Good evening, and welcome to "Arizona Horizon." I'm Ted Simons. A legal opinion by Attorney General Tom Horne has Arizona preparing for a dual voting system for future elections. The opinion states that those who register to vote in Arizona using a federal form without showing proof of citizenship can only vote in federal elections. Those who register using a state form, which requires proof of citizenship can vote in all elections. The opinion comes after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that requires Arizona to allow people to register to vote using federal or state forms. Joining us now is Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne and here with an opposing view is Alessandra Soler of the Arizona ACLU. Good to have you both here. Thank you so much for joining us. That pretty much what your opinion was this week?
Tom Horne: That was my opinion. I'll just say as to the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Supreme Court said that federal law prevents us from asking for evidence of citizenship on the federal form but they went on to say Arizona is correct in saying that it's of questionable constitutionality for the federal government to prevent the state from getting information it needs to be sure voters are qualified, but instead of ruling on that they sent it to the lower courts. I think we're ultimately going to win that. So what I've proposed is a stop gap. As long as we have to accept the federal form without evidence of citizenship, that should be for federal elections only.
Ted Simons: Talk about why this is not right as far as you see it. There is an Arizona voter mandate requiring that proof of citizenship. How do you balance things?
Alessandra Soler: Sure. I think we respectfully disagree with Attorney General Horne. We do not believe there's anything in the state law or federal law that requires the creation of these two-tiered voting system, and for good reason. It's extremely burdensome for county elections officials, it's costly, and I think ultimately it makes it harder for people to vote. And I think this proposal is going to -- There's also a very good reason why in this country we do not have dual voting systems. They harken back to a time when a terrible time in our history when there -- When these systems discriminated against individuals.
Ted Simons: You're saying this was not a requirement on the states?
Alessandra Soler: No.
Ted Simons: How do you respond to that?
Tom Horne: It is a requirement. It was a proposition passed by the voters overwhelmingly that said that in order to register to vote, you must provide evidence of citizenship. So we don't have illegal aliens voting. We just want citizens to vote. And the federal form just has a signature. Someone who is willing to vote fraudulently is willing to sign falsely. There's no protection against fraudulent voting. And we have a district court judge who said fraudulent voting really is a significant problem in Arizona, it's a significant -- It's a legitimate end of government to prevent that fraudulent government.
Ted Simons: Talk to us again about how much of a problem this is and how it addresses that problem.
Alessandra Soler: Tom and I, as most people agree, ineligible people should not be voting. But what we're talking about right now is, it's the question of -- This proposal is way out of line, and it's a major policy shift locally. Up until the Supreme Court decision, up until this opinion, anybody who voted using a federal form is also registered for state elections. And it's what happens across the country. One of the reasons why we have federal laws including the National Voter Registration Act is to create, make voting registration simpler, and that's the subject of the Supreme Court case.
Ted Simons: Isn't that the intent of the Motor Voter Law, the idea of making voting simpler? Also, are you -- Problems at the polls, we had last time, is this only going to make those worse? Confusion among voters? Is this only going to make that worse?
Tom Horne: There are some things that cause confusion, but this is not that complicated. This is simple. If you registered on the federal form without giving evidence of citizenship, you vote in federal elections only. And in fact, the ninth circuit, when they overruled us, in the district court we won the case. So we had -- We were able to require citizenship of everybody on both ballots. But the ninth circuit overruled us, they said specifically Arizona's free to require this for state elections, but it's only for federal elections that they felt we were bound by the National Voter Registration Act. And after the Supreme Court decision, the district court that implemented it said essentially the same thing,that we are required for federal elections only to allow people to register with the federal form, where there's no evidence of citizenship required until I'm hoping we ultimately win this other case.
Alessandra Soler: Every state in the country except now for Arizona and Kansas, accept the federal form and allow people to vote in state elections. I think the system works, it includes -- We believe that the affirmation it requires citizenship, you've got to affirm under threat of perjury that you are a citizen, and it's worked up until now. And there have not been additional problems with voter registration fraud.
Tom Horne: Let's talk about whether it's worked. The federal district court found voter fraud was a significant problem. Let's talk about what was the evidence of that? The jury commissioner sent forms to a small percentage of Arizonans. And people can send them back saying I'm not a citizen so I don't have to serve on the jury. When they do that, the jury commissioner send those to the county recorders and see if those people are registered to vote. In the year we had the trial they found over 200 people who had said they're not citizens on the jury commissioner form that had registered to vote and many had voted. Since those forms go only to a tiny percentage of Arizonans, you have to multiply many times that in order to arrive at the number of people who registered fraudulently in the state as a whole. So the judge found that fraudulent voting was a significant problem in the state and they had a legitimate interest to pass this legislation requiring evidence of citizenship.
Ted Simons: Were those voters prosecuted?
Tom Horne: About seven of them were out of the 200.
Ted Simons: Someone would hear the number seven and say we don't have a serious problem.
Tom Horne: The county attorneys usually have higher priorities. They're dealing with rape and murder and burglary, so they don't like to pursue these cases. So they only pursued seven of the 200. But the 200 is a very small percentage of the problem statewide, because only -- That was only the people in the small sample that got the jury commissioner forms. If you multiply that percentage times by the whole state, you get a significant number of people who registered fraudulently.
Alessandra Soler: There have been analyses done across the country, and the numbers are very small. And I think what we're dealing with here is citizens, the majority of whom are eligible, are the ones that are going to suffer, because now we have a system where we have to -- The county elections officials will have two voter rolls, which means they're going to have to verify, maintain, keep two different voter rolls, it will exacerbate problems, longer lines, more provisional ballots. The people that are going to be -- It's voters that are now going to have to deal with this --
Tom Horne: Let me just say the -- Another interesting finding of the district court judge after a lengthy trial was that the requirement to provide evidence of citizenship is not burdensome. In other words, you can write down your driver's license, naturalization number, your travel registration number, your nonvoter operating license number. Or if you don't have those things, there are other choice like your passport or birth certificate.
Ted Simons: What if you don't have those things, which some folks don't have and probably as much if not more that number than what you've talked about in terms of fraud?
Tom Horne: Out after state of 6 million people, they were able to find one person who had none of those things.
Ted Simons: One person.
Tom Horne: Because she was 90 years old and she was born in the south before they gave birth certificates. And I'm sure in her case they will let her vote.
Alessandra Soler: That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about complete -- Creating two dual voting system, which is nonexistent in this country. There's a reason why they have been declared unconstitutional and discriminatory, why we're not using them, because even Scalia in the Supreme Court decision said dual -- Two-tiered voting systems are going to be burdensome. And the question is here, should we as government officials, the state of Arizona, make voting harder for no reason, when we weren't requiring that previously and we were allowing people who use the federal form to vote in state elections? A two-tiered system ultimately everyone end up losing.
Tom Horne: That would have been a good argument in the legislature on a policy issue. My I don't know is to enforce the law. The law passed by the overwhelming majority of Arizona voters said to register to vote in Arizona, you must provide evidence of citizenship. The court decisions that I believe have temporarily said we can't do that on federal forms have said we can do it on state forms. If we can do it on state forms the law requires us to do it because it was passed saying you're not a qualified voter unless you provide evidence of citizenship.
Tom Horne: Is this the only way to satisfy state law and federal law? I'm hearing that they had no choice.
Alessandra Soler: I think that's what his interpretation is what -- And what it boils down to. We don't believe that's necessary, and we don't believe there's anything in federal or state law that mandates that. And I think, yes, state elections are administered by state officials and I think this -- The public policy argument and the impact on voters and the additional burden on county elections officials, I think are going to be -- Those are real problems and real harms that all voters will have to deal with.
Tom Horne: What mandate it is proposition 200, which said you're not a qualified voter unless you provide evidence of citizenship.
Ted Simons: Does it concern you that people in Arizona who register to vote, using the federal form without the proof of citizenship, people who register to vote will not be allowed to vote in Arizona?
Tom Horne: They can vote by providing -- By registering with providing evidence of citizenship, then they can vote in the state and local elections.
Ted Simons: They've already registered to vote. And now the state is saying, yeah, but. Does that concern you?
Tom Horne: No. It's a fairly short period. Remember, we won the trial at the district court level so it wasn't until the ninth circuit decision we had to start accepting these federal forms. The overwhelming majority register with state forms. It's less than 10% that use the federal forms. Maricopa County recorder said it was 900 people.
Alessandra Soler: That's just in Maricopa County. There are going to be thousands of people that will be affected statewide. And it really violates the intent and the spirit of the NVRA, which is trying to make voter registration easier.
Ted Simons: The last point, quickly, 30 seconds left, you want to vote in state elections, register through the state. Period.
Alessandra Soler: There are both options available. Voters have both options available. We want to make voting easier.
Tom Horne: The National Voter Registration Act has jurisdiction only over federal elections. They don't have jurisdiction over state elections. And the Arizona voters have passed a proposition which is law and that law is binding on me.
Ted Simons: We have to stop it right there. Good discussion. Good to have you both here.
Tom Horne: Thank you.
Alessandra Soler: Thanks.

Portland's Starfucker has just announced signing with Polyvinyl Records , the Champaign, Illinois home of Of Montreal, Japandroids, Casiokids, and others. The band will release
Portland's Starfucker has just announced signing with Polyvinyl Records, the Champaign, Illinois home of Of Montreal, Japandroids, Casiokids, and others. The band will release a 7" entitled Julius with a B-side called "Helium Muffin" on October 12, and if you're one of the first 500 to pre-order it (it's $5), you'll receive a limited edition dark blue vinyl version.
"Julius" the song is typically glittery and synth-happy, but it's also got a smoother groove than Starfucker's past material. I'm digging it, and you can download the track for free here.
As for the band's short-lived name change (remember Pyramidd?), their official statement on that is:
That was definitely the low point for the band, but we wised up and took the power back. We're doing things our way again without anyone trying to pull our strings

When the English Began to Hate: The Manufacture of German Demonisation in British School History Textbooks 1900-1930
Crawford, Keith, History of Education Review
There are a significant number of studies that argue that since the rise of mass education school textbooks have become essential instructional tools for curriculum delivery and that the school textbook holds a unique and significant social function: to represent to each generation of students an officially sanctioned, authorised version of human knowledge and culture' (original emphasis). (1) Constructed by real people with real interests school textbooks are products of ideological and political conflicts and compromises. (2) As instruments of socialisation and sites of ideological discourse history textbooks are designed to introduce young people to a particular, and historically located, cultural and socio-economic order with its relations of power and domination, textbooks represent the focal element in the process of cultural transmission'. (3)
In writing and re-writing their pasts nations rarely tell the truth about themselves and, therefore, in the manner in which they present national stories history textbooks are intentional, maybe even tendentious, literature. Selecting a national past for transmission through school textbooks is an intensely political and ideological process. Politicians of all persuasions have long recognised that controlling the present and shaping the future relies significantly upon controlling the manner in which the past is presented. One outcome is that the history which is presented to children through the textbooks they use is often a watered-down, partial, sometimes distorted, sometimes fictional, view of a national past based upon cultural, ideological and political selection.
Contrasts with the other' are particularly significant in teaching about the past and Hein and Selden have pointed out that 'the stories chosen or invented about the national past are invariably prescriptive--instructing people how to think and act as national subjects and how to view relations with outsiders'. (4) Within this context the enemy is a valuable evaluative concept because its use can lead to the systematic comparison, differentiation, and derogation of other groups'. (5)
The significance of the enemy as a concept is that it can provide a context whereby viewing them' in intrinsically negative terms offers a binary opposite through which a competing group can allocate themselves fundamentally different qualities. In order to protect a sense of self-worth and identity a group stereotypes an out-group, in this case Germans, as being responsible for a wide variety of national disasters. This process is abstracted and made easier by providing members of the out-group with a set of socially constructed traits and viewing them as a homogenous group rather than as individuals with personal sets of values and ideas, a process that makes demonisation commonsense. (6) This argument forms an important element in this article where contrasts and critiques of the other represent a fundamental element of defining national identity. (7)
This article seeks to develop the ideas discussed above by exploring how within a climate characterised by a national moral panic and an institutionalised imperialist xenophobia school history textbooks in the early years of the 20th Century came to present an intensely hostile discourse of Germans and Germany. The approach is multi-disciplinary as a single discipline approach would not provide a full and coherent understanding of the development of Germanophobia within school history textbooks. Consequently, the evidence base for this analysis is drawn from a variety of representations including political perspectives; popular culture; children's literature; newspaper and magazine depictions. The purpose is to provide a framework through which to link cultural depictions of Germans and Germany with how history was taught, what was to be learnt and how this was mediated through school history textbooks.
Hating without limits
On the outbreak of World War One there was universal agreement among British social commentators and politicians that blame for the war rested solely with Germany who had deliberately brought on the crisis that now hangs over Europe'. …

Management 3.0
Management 3 is an Agile Management model that focuses on more advanced topics of the management methodology.
Changing Organisational Culture
According to research, many organizations's IT Projects fail for various reasons.
The main reasons in my opinion are lack of customer involvement, lack of stake holder involvement, poor requirements, tremendous upfront planning and continuously changing realities and requirements.
In order to adopt Agile methods successfully, it is important that the entire organization sees the benefits of adapting Agile methods.
In summary these benefits are:
- Transparency in everything we do, nowhere/way to hide from reality
- Time boxed iterations / development cycles
- Frequent releases to garner feedback which influences the systems' direction, and keeps customers enticed
- The ability to predict velocity, and plan releases a lot more accurately than with traditional methods
- Empower teams to be self organizing
- Decentralize decision making (of items that age fast) to the team
- Continuous improvement is built into the methodology, with feedback originating from developers, testers, automated unit tests, customers, stake holders etc.
- Cross functional teams
The Agile methodology is geared towards dealing with risk as it occurs, but naturally the risks associated with this methodology is limited, as we don't invest 6 months in a release and then open it for feedback
- Fail fast, learn fast
- Breeds creativity, autonomy and innovation to deliver features that customers actually want
- Eliminates wastage as a result of Agile's roots in Lean Development Principles
Grow competence
One of the top causes for Agile adoption failures, is due to the 'traditional' managers having difficulty changing mind sets from Managers to Leaders.
Overcoming this obstacle requires these managers to be trained on how to embrace this change in order to increase the company's chance of innovating products that are ahead of their competitors.
Research shows that Agile adoptions cuts the time from conceptualization to delivery by 50%, and increases productivity by at least 25%.
The current Agile adoption rate according to IBM is estimated at 37%.

I just bought a Bianchi road bike at a yard sale this past weekend for $20 and wanted to get a feel for what I bought. It came with 105 hubs front and back and a 8 speed Hyperglide cassette, although I am not sure how original these parts are. The serial number is a different style than what I found so far on google and is 61041328. The bike also has a Compione del mondo Colorado Springs 1986-1987 sticker which it seems they used for a number of years even into the 90s. The bike is a dark blue with grey letters and has Lugged front tube with Bianchi pressed in the crown area. The shifters are Shimano Z-401 which I would guess are original. Can anyone help me identify this bike? Would any info help someone figure it out?
Thanks in advance!

Lithonia. GA (AP) - A former employee of New Birth Missionary
Baptist Church says in a lawsuit that she was sexually harassed
The plaintiff, Tama Colson, says in the federal lawsuit that a
male supervisor showed her a picture of a male sex organ last
The lawsuit, filed Wednesday, says the man became her supervisor
earlier this year and began a "campaign of torment," and that she
was demoted when she complained and eventually was fired.
Art Franklin, a spokesman for the church, said in a statement
that New Birth requires employees to report abuse within 48 hours
and that Colson did not complain until August. He says an
investigation has begun.
Church pastor Bishop Eddie Long is not named in the lawsuit.
He's facing lawsuits by four men who claim he coerced them into
sexual relations.

As he prepares to face the voters' verdict, President Barack Obama can rightly take credit for leading an economic recovery from the most serious economic collapse since the Great Depression. The $831 billion stimulus bill approved soon after the president took office, the middle-class tax cuts, and the auto industry bailout contributed to that turn-around.
While not as robust as anyone would have liked, the recovery has to be measured against the reality that the recession preceding it was the worst in 70 years and that the United States cannot divorce itself from a struggling global economy or the major structural changes buffeting it.
Obtaining a policy victory sought by Democratic presidents since Harry Truman, President Obama, working with a Democratic Congress, achieved approval of the Affordable Care Act - Obamacare - which if fully implemented will mean near-universal health care coverage for Americans, using the private insurance industry to provide it.
His Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, proposes repealing the health law, but offers no alternative to provide insurance coverage to the 40 million Americans who are always one health crisis away from financial ruin.
President Obama oversaw the winding down of the Iraq War and pursued a military strategy that sets the stage for the reduction of U.S. forces to a support role in Afghanistan by 2014. His military policies have decimated the leadership of the al-Qaida terrorist network and removed its general, Osama bin Laden.
The president has made mistakes, certainly. The stimulus was arguably too small and rolled out too slow. President Obama should have used his political popularity at the time to push for more.
And while Republican opposition to working with the president, and giving him any policy victories, is primarily responsible for stagnation in Washington, the president shares some blame for not working harder to form relationships with Republican legislative leaders.
On balance, however, his presidency has been a successful one considering that President Obama confronted the most difficult economic circumstances of any president since Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Most troubling has been the exponential growth of the deficit. In some ways this was unavoidable. Tax revenues plunged during the Great Recession. Stimulus spending was necessary to get the country moving again. But since the "grand bargain" talks with House Speaker John Boehner collapsed the summer of 2011, and with it talk of a combination of tax increases and long-term cuts in entitlements to shave $4 trillion from the deficit over 10 years, neither party has talked with seriousness about solutions to address the ticking deficit time bomb.
One of the president's biggest mistakes was walking away from the 2010 recommendations of his National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, also known as the Simpson-Bowles commission, which provided clear-eyed suggestions for reducing the deficit with a combination of tax increases and spending cuts. The president should have codified its broad outlines into specific legislative initiatives, and called the bluff of Republicans, forcing them to get serious about deficit reduction or place their no-tax-increase pledges above the welfare of the country.
Romney alternative
Rather than real solutions to either the economic malaise or deficit spending, the president's Republican opponent offers fallacies.
The former Massachusetts governor and venture capitalist vows to cut income tax rates 20 percent, while eliminating the estate tax and the alternative minimum tax. The non-partisan Tax Policy Center calculates this would reduce tax revenues by $4.8 trillion over 10 years, expanding the deficit.
Mr. Romney contends he will offset lost revenues by eliminating deductions - though he won't say which - but the center calculates zeroing out all itemized deductions would only generate around $2 trillion over a decade.
The very premise of Mr. Romney's plan, that high federal taxes are to blame for slow economic growth, is without foundation. The government collected in taxes 15.4 percent of gross domestic product last year, a historically low number, compared to 20.6 percent of GDP in 2000 when the economy was strong. Then came the Bush tax cuts, the wars, and a government expansion, all without new revenues to pay for them.
In a word, Mr. Romney's tax-cut plan is a fraud. But this should not be surprising from a candidate who has shown a willingness to say anything, and change his stance on any number of policies, to win an election. Most strikingly he seeks to kill a national health care plan, modeled after the plan he signed into law in Massachusetts, for no other reason than political expediency.
As insincere is the Republican candidate's claim he can provide massive tax reductions and then cut his way to fiscal responsibility. Current tax revenues are enough to pay for Medicare and Medicaid, the military, Social Security and the interest on the debt. The nation is effectively borrowing to pay for all other government services. So unless Mr. Romney proposes eliminating all of it, more tax revenues will be necessary.
The better choice
President Obama's policies offer the better chance for progress. He would end the Bush tax cuts for couples making $250,000 or more, or single individuals making over $200,000. While the president has oversold the impact this would have on reducing deficit spending, it is a better option than Mr. Romney's plan to leave this money in the pockets of the wealthiest and give them yet another tax cut.
The president deserves high marks for his Race to the Top education initiative that has led to needed education reforms in states across the country. That effort must continue. America has lost its global lead in education and restoring it will be vital to job creation in the 21st century.
In a second-term the president, free from concerns about re-election and no longer facing a Republican Party intent on stopping his return to office, would be in a better position to make the politically difficult compromises necessary for genuine deficit reduction.
Given the option between a candidate who vacillates and pushes unrealistic policies and an incumbent who fulfilled his major commitments and has governed with a steady hand, the choice is clear. The Day endorses President Barack Obama for re-election.

I just don't know what are the exact routes and transportation that is used. If anyone has done this trip any input would be great. What shuttle you used, how…

Hello - we want to visit Soberania for some hiking but the tours look too expensive and we're on a budget. I am reading that there are good marked trails. Has anyone done this independently?

Glickman swinging for the fence again in Isotechnika merger
February 19, 2013 by leonardzehr · Leave a Comment
Richard Glickman is poised to hit another home run with the proposed merger of his closely-held Aurinia Pharmaceuticals and Isotechnika Pharma (TSX:ISA) to create a global nephrology leader.
Dr. Glickman has a decades-long track record of successfully developing and selling pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies. For example, in 2001, he co-founded Aspreva Pharmaceuticals which went on to conduct one of the largest and most important lupus nephritis studies in history, called the Aspreva Lupus Management Study (ALMS). It resulted in the emergence of CellCept as a new standard treatment for the potentially fatal disease. In 2008, Aspreva was sold to Swiss-based Galenica Group for $915-million.
"There is an emerging body of data, suggesting that the combination of a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI), like Isotechnika's voclosporin, and CellCept can dramatically increase complete remissions in patients, the rapidity at which they reach remission and the duration of remission," Dr. Glickman says in an interview with BioTuesdays.com.
Lupus nephritis is an autoimmune disease that causes an inflammation of the kidneys. Dr. Glickman says that the disease flares up in patients taking CellCept on average 1.7 times a year. "We believe the combination of a CNI like voclosporin and CellCept can produce a more durable response in patients and allow us to reduce steroid use in patients as well."
Under the merger accord, Isotechnika will acquire 100% of the outstanding securities of Aurinia in a stock swap, resulting in a 60-40 post-merger ownership split between Isotechnika and Aurinia, respectively.
If shareholders approve the transaction, the new company, to be named Aurinia Pharmaceuticals, plans to initiate a global Phase 2b clinical trial, which will treat about 220 lupus patients with a combination of voclosporin and CellCept.
Some 2,700 patients have already been treated with voclosporin, which Isotechnika has been developing to prevent transplant rejection in kidney patients. "So, we have established very good safety and efficacy data already," says Robert Foster, president and CEO of Isotechnika. "Voclosporin is a potent CNI, and we clearly understand its mechanism." Dr. Foster will be CEO of the new Aurinia.
Dr. Glickman is no stranger to voclosporin either. Aurinia is a spinoff of Vifor Pharma, a member of the Galenica group. In January 2012, Isotechnika granted Vifor an exclusive license to develop voclosporin for the treatment of lupus and proteinuric nephrology indications.
"Last year, I was approached by the CEO of Vifor and asked to do something entrepreneurial with the CellCept legacy—specifically how we could utilize our lupus expertise in further developing drugs to treat the disease," Dr. Glickman recalls. Ultimately, he chaired a team that put together the spinoff of Vifor.
The Vifor assets that moved to Aurinia included the voclosporin license from Isotechnika, the people who ran the clinical programs for Aspreva and all of the data from the ALMS study (which, Dr. Glickman says, has been instrumental in developing the clinical protocols for voclosporin) and Vifor financing for Aurinia.
The Phase 2b trial will be conducted at many of the clinical sites that Aspreva used for the ALMS study, with the same steering committees that led the CellCept trials. "Those key opinion leaders are behind the design of the voclosporin combination program, which is very important," Dr. Glickman points out.
"As the standard of care, CellCept hasn't delivered the levels of complete and partial responses that we thought the drug should," he admits, pointing out that Aurinia reviewed two other CNI drugs – cyclosporine and tacrolimus – as possible therapies to be combined with CellCept.
Noting various side effects with cyclosporine and tacrolimus, which are not found with Isotechnika's voclosporin, Dr. Glickman says, "We believe voclosporin represents the best in class therapeutic agent for treating lupus in combination with CellCept. As in other multi-drugs therapies, we would like to possibly use less of each drug with the idea to suppress the immune system in a gentler, balanced way, which could lead to fewer infections and relapses."
He says the idea is not to displace CellCept but, rather, add to it with voclosporin. "Market entry is very attractive, given the large number of patients now on CellCept." He figures lupus nephritis is a billion-dollar market. "There's high interest in Big Pharma to develop drugs in the lupus space, and we believe positive data will be extremely attractive to those partners. Either we'll become financeable or be acquired."
Asked whether Aurinia will continue developing voclosporin for transplant, Dr. Glickman says lupus nephritis will be the primary focus of the company's clinical development. "We believe the value in this franchise is voclosporin for the treatment of lupus nephritis and other proteinuric nephrology indications. Transplant will be de-prioritized and only developed if we have significant interest in a global partnership."
Dr. Foster explains that transplantation, as part of nephrology, has been the focus of Isotechnika since day one. But it's an expensive development program, with two pivotal trials costing in the order of magnitude of $60-million. On the other hand, the Phase 2b lupus nephritis trial is anticipated to cost around $14-million.
"We have the opportunity to build value back in the company and raise our market cap with a highly recognized lupus group from Aspreva and roll them into a new company with us," Dr. Foster says. "Then, we have the flexibility to be opportunistic in the area of transplantation, if the opportunity presents itself. So, I see the merger as a fresh beginning to build the value that shareholders are expecting."
The name, Aurinia, comes from the Latin, meaning a mature butterfly, Dr. Glickman says, adding that this is very apropos, since the company will be working in lupus, which is known as the butterfly disease, owing to the butterfly rash that is the first symptom of the disease.
"Very early on, Bob and I recognized that the wisest thing to do was to consolidate our IP as a way to create value and offerings to Big Pharma," Dr. Glickman says. "It was complex, because Isotechnika had a number of partners in voclosporin that had to be worked with to end up with an integrated IP portfolio. It took about six months to get our heads around that."
The major shareholders of the new Aurinia will include ILJIN Life Sciences of South Korea, 3SBio (NASDAQ:SSRX) of China, Vifor, Paladin Labs (TSX:PLB) and the shareholders of Isotechnika and the current Aurinia.
The merged company also wants to raise $25-million to $30-million to support its clinical program. Management plans to raise interim financing in the next few weeks, ahead of the shareholders meetings, with a larger financing planned in April, which will be followed within 60 to 90 days by the start of clinical testing.
Dr. Glickman contends Aurinia is proceeding with a large Phase 2b trial to reduce execution risk. "By using the team that has done it before and making the study large enough, we'll get a definitive answer on the potential of voclosporin."

Tamil stars Rajinikanth, Ajith Kumar and Kamal Haasan were among a large number of Tamil actors who observed a day-long protest here Tuesday to denounce the "war crimes" on Sri Lankan Tamils.
"We as an industry stand united for our brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka," said Sarath Kumar, president of the South Indian Film Artistes Association (SIFAA), as a day-long fast ended.
He demanded "strict action" against the Sri Lankan regime for killing a large number of innocent Tamils in the war against the Tamil Tigers which destroyed the rebels in 2009.
"We also urge the central government to take notice of the situation of Tamils in Sri Lanka and organise rehabilitation for them," he added.
Actors turned up in hundreds to support the fast organised by SIFAA at T. Nagar here. This is the second fast after March 19 which was organised by Tamil Nadu Film Directors Association (TANTIS).
Prakash Raj, Vishal Krishna, Silambarasan, Dhanush, Bharath, Jiiva, Jeyam Ravi, Arya, Suriya, Karthi, Lakshmi Rai, Ramya Krishnan and Lakshmy Ramakrishnan also observed a silent protest.
Many actors who couldn't be part of the fast March 19 were present. All shootings were cancelled Tuesday while theatres remained closed during the fast.
However, there were no mikes and no speeches.
"One reason we are not using microphone is that we don't want tempers to flare," a member of SIFAA told IANS.
Kamal, Rajinikanth, Ajith Kumar, Suriya and Karthi are among those who couldn't join the March 19 fast.
Tamil actor Vijay, currently shooting in Australia, expressed regret that he was not able to join the Chennai hunger strike.
"I am currently shooting for my film 'Thalaivaa' in Australia and couldn't make it to the fast. I regret not being present in this movement," Vijay said in a statement.
Tamil Nadu has been in ferment in recent weeks over the death of thousands of Tamils in the end stages of the war in Sri Lanka that crushed the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in May 2009.

Anti-virus software pioneer John McAfee was reportedly rushed to a Guatemala hospital after his request for political asylum in the country was rejected.
McAfee, 67, who faces deportation to Belize for questioning over the death of his neighbour there, was brought out of an immigration service detention centre on a stretcher.
Early reports suggested he was had suffered two mild heart attacks, but his lawyer Telesforo Guerra said he had been suffering from stress and hypertension, The Telegraph reports.
"He never had a heart attack. Nothing like that," Mr Guerra said in Guatemala City. "I'm not a doctor. I'm just telling you what the doctors told me. He was suffering from stress, hypertension and tachycardia (an abnormally rapid hearbeat)," his lawyer said.
According to the paper, he was released from hospital several hours later.
The former tycoon had earlier been detained at Guatemala City's Intercontinental Hotel for entering the country illegally from Belize, the paper said.
He had been on the run for more than three weeks after refusing to speak to authorities in Belize about the death of Gregory Faull, an American who was shot dead in early November, it added. (ANI)

Area woman dies in Arkansas boat accident
A 79-year-old local woman died Monday after her kayak overturned on the Buffalo National River in northwest Arkansas, according to the National Park Service.
Sally Sairs boat flipped after her head struck a tree, the park service said. She was under water for an estimated 40 to 45 minutes.
A friend who was with her reported being unable to right the kayak or aid Sairs. Other boaters who came down the river helped turn the kayak over and get Sairs out of the water, authorities said.
National Park Service rangers, along with Newton County Search and Rescue, recovered the body.

An abdominal x-ray is an imaging test to look at organs and structures in the abdomen. Organs include the spleen, stomach, and intestines.
When the test is done to look at the bladder and kidney structures, it is called a KUB (kidneys, ureters, bladder) x-ray.
Abdominal film; X-ray - abdomen; Flat plate; KUB x-ray
The test is done in a hospital radiology department. Or it may done in the health care provider's office by an x-ray technologist.
You lie on your back on the x-ray table. The x-ray machine is positioned over your abdominal area. You hold your breath as the picture is taken so that the picture will not be blurry. You may be asked to change position to the side or to stand up for additional pictures.
Men will have a lead shield placed over the testes to protect against the radiation.
Before having the x-ray, tell the provider the following:
You wear a hospital gown during the x-ray procedure. You must remove all jewelry.
There is no discomfort. The x-rays are taken as you lie on your back, side, and while standing.
Your provider may order this test to:
The x-ray will show normal structures for a person your age.
Abnormal findings include:
There is low radiation exposure. X-rays are monitored and regulated to provide the minimum amount of radiation exposure needed to produce the image. Most experts feel that the risk is low compared to the benefits.
Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of the x-ray. Women should tell their provider if they are, or may be, pregnant.

shadows so pale
in the heat of the night
fading to grey
cause they're scared by the light
shootin their arrows
with the wings of pain
restless unkind
but they keep on fightin in vain
tryin to be who you are
the harder you try the closer you'll get
when you fight with a heart of steel
bloodstains in red
that cover your clothes
telling the truth
'bout the souls that have passed
the things that you see
as you read between the lines
won't let you be
'cause they're just partners in crime
tryin to be who you are
the harder you try the closer you'll get
when you fight with a heart of steel
fightin a war you can't win
the only things that stay are you're sins
but you fight with a heart of steel

Sixth in the series of fourteen known Quirós' Presentation memorials. Quirós wrote about fifty memorials addressed to the King Philip III of Spain describing the wonders of the lands he had discovered and requesting Royal support to organize a new expedition to the Southern hemisphere. The majority of them were manuscripts, but fourteen were printed between 1607 and 1614 at Quirós' expense for presentation at the Council of the Indies. Circulation of all memorials was restricted to the King, ministers and Councils of State, of War and the Indies. When it was learnt in 1610 he was distributing them beyond the court the King ordered all memorials to be recalled. The Eighth Memorial 'escaped' the Spanish borders and was translated into various languages. These so-called "presentation memorials" - to be distinguished from later derivative printings which appeared throughout Europe - are among the most valuable of all printed Australiana. According to Kelly this sixth Presentation memorial is: "Memorial (printed later in 1609 at Barcelona) enumerating 23 island-discoveries (including La Austrialia del Espiritu Santo) and referring to the interrogatory made at Mexico with the testimonies of ten witnesses. It states that many other lands still remain to be discovered in the region of La Austrialia, and that Tomai, cacique of Taumaco, knew more than 60 islands in the neighbourhood, one of which called Manicolo was very extensive; also that Pedro (died 8 April 1607 in Mexico), a native seized at Taumaco, gave information about the islands of Chicayana, Guaytopo, Pilen, Nupan, Fonofono, Macaraylay, Manicolo, Tucopia and Pouro, and that he had seen pearls and silver ore in some of them (the other native, Pablo, a boy of 8 years, died on 24 May 1607). Finally it gives a description of the ceremonies at the Bay".

Biog Note
Pedro Fernandes de Queirós, (Spanish: Pedro Fernández de Quirós, (1563-1615)), was a Portuguese navigator best known for his involvement with Spanish voyages of discovery in the Pacific Ocean. In 1595 he sailed as chief pilot with Mandana's expedition to colonize the Solomon Islands. When Mandana died in Santa Cruz, Quirós brought the fleet through great difficulties to the Philippines. In December 1605, he sailed from Callao, Peru, in command of an expedition to discover the Terra Australis Incognita, the great southern continent thought to exist in the South Pacific Ocean. In May 1606, after finding part of the Tuamotu Archipelago, the northern Cook Islands and Tikopia, the expedition reached the islands later called the New Hebrides. Quirós landed on a large island which he mistook to be the southern continent, and named it Australia del Espiritu Santo (later altered to Austrialia del Espiritu Santo). Here the fleet broke up in unexplained circumstances, Quirós returning to Peru in one ship, and the two others, piloted by Luis Vaez de Torres, resuming the intended voyage to Manila via the Moluccas. Torres successfully reached Manila in May 1607, charting the southern coastline of New Guinea sailing through the strait that now bears his name. Quirós returned to Spain in 1607 and spent the next seven years vainly petitioning Philip III to send him on another expedition.

The mathematics is correct. The key is to realize that the second round (after Monty opened Door Two) probability for each of the remaining two doors should not be treated equally. This is what makes it such a counter intuitive problem. The typical response is that there is a mistake and insist that the doors have equal weight. For a more detailed explanation please refer to http://mathforum.org/dr/math/faq/faq.monty.hall.html.
Jeffrey, I got to the end of 'pick a winner' fearing that the storytelling won over the discipline. After the door was opened you were prepared to reassign probability to door 3, but not to door 2. Both doors should have been treated equally. First round probability for each of three doors is 1/3. Second round probability for each of two doors is 1/2. To choose to switch vs not to switch, is a new choice, independent of the first round. Opening one more door would naturally produce certainty… (more)
As a post-college member of society I've been on a mission to expand my horizons, more specifically a quest of giving second chances (particularly to things that once made me curse the heavens) thus my reading a book about math. A friend of mine suggested it and I can honestly say that no bias in the world could have made me like math...nope, either math won me over or my heart would remain stone. (I went to an arts college that did not require math classes...one of the reasons I picked it.)… (more)
