Will pharmaceutical manufacturers obtain a fresh growth dividend from this promise of expanded access to the uninsured, in much the way that Part D did after that law was fully implemented in 2006? Or is it likely to be a false promise, that paper tiger I call "Not Much Ado...About Something"? Our simple answer: the precedent for a jump in revenues just isn't there; despite its vast scope and frequently contradictory ambitions, the ACA will not amount to much more than "business as usual" for most of big Pharma and its brands.
With the advent of the Part D drug benefit in 2006, the pharmaceutical industry saw a major increase in total branded sales, with IMS Health reporting a doubling of revenue growth rates, from 4.1 percent in 2005 to 8.4 percent. Many brands benefited from the improved revenue and boosted margins as well, when a large bolus of Medicaid patients who were "dually eligible," along with several million indigent patients receiving free product, were moved into Part D as Low Income Subsidy (LIS) patients. However, these gains were followed by increased payer control and concessions to the largest managed care Part D plans, with the result that these plans now extract much higher rebates from manufacturers than commercial plans. The changes are now more or less permanently embedded in the relationship between the industry and payers, which appear to hold the upper hand in pricing negotiations.
Nevertheless, many of our client companies have looked at the expansion of health coverage from ACA and wondered, or perhaps hoped, that there might be a sequel to the 2006 blockbuster scenario in 2014. We believe the odds are stacked against that happening again for the vast majority of pharmaceutical brands.
There are several reasons for this pessimism. For many drug-makers, the greatest impact of the ACA has already taken place. That impact consists of a decline in net margins from manufacturers picking up 50 percent of the cost of drugs for Medicare patients whose expenditures lead them to being placed within the coverage gap or "doughnut hole," where the burden of payment falls back on to them as individual patients. For the average retail product, company margins have declined by eight to 10 percentage points for prescriptions filled by the standard eligible population in Part D. However, depending on the importance of Standard Eligible patients (who can account for as little as 15 percent of a product's Part D volume, or, alternatively, as much as 80 percent), as well as cost of care variations by geographic location, the impact of this subsidy can be many times greater, or it can be negligible. For some specialty products the negative impact can be less still, and the 50 percent subsidy to patients may actually have resulted in increased utilization of covered medicines.
So it goes for the idea of any upside from expanded health coverage under Obamacare. The impact of ACA in 2014 really depends on where a brand ends up this year: with its formulary coverage, the therapeutic class it competes in, and where it has the strongest position geographically in Medicaid and commercial plans.
There are three basic conclusions that we draw from this analysis.
» Volume increases will not be as immediate, nor as significant, as was the case for Part D.
» Growth and margin improvement are contingent and cannot be generalized. Impacts will vary significantly depending on the product and whether it has generic alternatives, the time it has been on the market, and whether co-pay support (as in many specialty products) has become critical to maintaining patient adherence to therapy.
» Any upside, where it does exist, will vary geographically—mostly in the Democratic-leaning "blue states" that have expanded the level of Medicaid coverage in spirit with the Obama administration's approach.
Access: a mixed picture
Figure 1
But the real question is how good will their access be to healthcare professionals? For many newly covered patients, the quality of drug coverage will likely exceed the quality—and the commitment—of the network of physicians available to treat them. There is already a crisis in many states with large Medicaid programs in terms of the number of primary care physicians able to make room for new Medicaid patients. In addition, how long will it take a newly covered patient to obtain an appointment with a specialist neurologist, rheumatologist, or gastroenterologist? The daunting numbers threaten to sidetrack the law's goal of improving the standard of care for millions of patients with MS, rheumatoid arthritis, and hepatitis C—each on its own a serious public health threat.
On the downside, ACA may ultimately lead to a diminished quality of drug coverage for many commercial patients who will be "dumped" by their employers from rich, defined benefits to less costly health options operated by third parties. For the industry, a move away from commercial, employer-based coverage to either Medicare Part D plans or the reform law's exchanges will have two major impacts on volume and profit margin. First, Part D and exchange plans are likely to have more bargaining power than most commercial insurers, as they are more willing and able to restrict their formularies to only those manufacturers and products willing to discount heavily and provide "price protection." Second, either of these alternatives will likely preclude the patient from getting co-pay offset support. And high deductibles and co-pays, with no co-pay offset cards allowed, will lead to substantially higher patient abandonment and reduced adherence.
Therapeutic Class: It Depends
Figure 2
For specialty products, which have high annual costs per patient and which are driving drug spending trends among employers, insurers, and PBMs in the commercial channel, manufacturers should anticipate little growth and possibly a decline in volume depending on whether patients are allowed to use co-pay cards to offset large deductibles and monthly out-of-pocket expenses. A drug like Enbrel has achieved very high patient adherence with pay-no-more-than $10 programs (PNMT) for new and continuing patients. Those newly insured patients that do find their way into a specialty physician's office may find themselves facing prohibitively high co-pays that are comparable to Part D's specialty tier (at a $300 per month average). Potential beneficiaries in specialty products will be those that have a physician-administered protocol such as Remicade and Orencia in the rheumatoid arthritis space and can be billed under "medical" reimbursement codes.
Products or product classes that have no real generic or biosimilar alternative today, however, are likely to see a boost from ACA. In the GLP-1s for example, newly insured patients can't be stepped through a generic and if the formulary includes the therapeutic class at all, manufacturers will get their fair share of new patient starts. Products like Victoza may get even more than their fair share, as they are likely to be "must haves" on any exchange formulary. Whether new insurance coverage comes from the exchanges or Medicaid expansion, manufacturers in these classes stand to gain volume, albeit at lower margins. And the newer products or launch products should have reasonable gross margins because they have not yet accumulated significant CPI penalties to add on top of the statutory Medicaid discount.
Geographic split
Implementation of ACA will not be uniform across the country nor will it offer the same opportunities for all products and manufacturers. As of August 2013, about half of the 50 states have opted out of the federally subsidized expansion of Medicaid coverage; most of the politically conservative states have dragged their feet in setting up both the exchanges and the infrastructure to encourage enrollment.
The Democratic Party "blue states" that are encouraging enrollment and expanding Medicaid will follow a very different script. Manufacturers with a history of selling to the Medicaid channel and the large sales forces that still have the ability to call on Medicaid physicians will have the advantage.
And, although the margins in many established branded products will be paper thin due to CPI penalties, pharmaceutical companies can expect a spillover effect in those states that have expanded Medicaid coverage. Building on precedents from the federal WIC (womens, infant, and children) program, physicians will frequently not know a patient's eligibility for Medicaid, and may inappropriately prescribe drugs with preferred formulary status on Medicaid to any and all newly insured patients.
Contraceptives as policy precedent?
So how do we validate this view of muted volume growth, dispersion of opportunity across branded products, and varied geographic upside? Well, ACA is already here in one class—contraceptives, where federal regulations required all commercial insurance plans to implement zero co-pays in January 2013. This action should have produced an across the board "windfall" for all branded contraceptives. However, early results support the "it depends" perspective.
Past is Prologue
Although it is early, first half results for 2013 show year over year declines in all branded volumes, due to an inexorable shift to generics despite the improvement in patient cost sharing. Patient co-pays for alternate forms of the contraceptive pill—rings and patches—fell most dramatically. However, this varied by payer and geography, with more dramatic generic conversion rates in plans such as United and BCBS of Massachusetts that touted the zero co-pay for generics.
Manufacturers in the contraceptive classes have already seen how ACA's impact will literally be all over the map. They have gained a year's experience in managed care contracting and co-pay card deployment, the results of which turned their previous strategies topsy-turvy. The pregnant question: Who needs co-pay cards in Massachusetts for any contraceptive? Why do you contract for tier?
One thing is for certain—that ACA will accelerate the pace in which pharmaceutical manufacturers move away from a "one-size-fits-all" national model of resource allocation. A state-by-state view of the world which is emerging from differences in Part D and commercial formularies will be necessary to capture any upside that comes from ACA—and to do that without overspending.

Video: High Speed Chase Involving Suspected Drunk Driver
GAITHERSBURG, Maryland (WUSA)--"I drank to make myself feel better. That was my medication."
We will call him Jim. Not his real name.
"It got worse and worse and worse. It got me in more and more trouble," says Jim.
On a cold December night, at the Gaithersburg police station, we met Jim shackled to a table. He'd been picked up on his fourth DUI. "Yes, I could hurt somebody."
He confessed that some day, he will probably kill someone. Not with a gun or knife, but by getting behind the wheel, loaded with alcohol.
"I just say the same thing all the time. I'm going to kill somebody. I don't want that," says Jim. "I don't even fathom that thought. But I know it's in me. It's in me because I'm sick. I'm sick."
The self-described worthless loser agreed to share his story because he doesn't want young people to make the same mistakes he has.
"I almost died three weeks ago. I drank a fifth of vodka. I was puking in my own puke and it was going down my esophagus."
And worst of all, it was witnessed by his own son.
"My wife said, 'He's alright. He's just drunk.' My son said 'Mommy, he's really in bad shape.'"
Jim is 55-years-old, though he looks significantly older. He started drinking when he was 14. Drinking, he said, for fun. Because it was the "Thing to do."
How does he describe himself now? "Pathetic. I find myself pathetic. Look where I am."
Now, he's lost his job, his home and his marriage is in shambles.
Hours earlier, we were riding in a Montgomery County Police cruiser in downtown Silver Spring. What began as an apparent hit-and-run escalated into a wild, high-speed chase.
For more than five minutes, 9NEWS NOW cameras and police followed the speeding driver as he barreled onto the Beltway and then I-270.
Then word came over the police scanner the driver had crashed. "He's wrecked."
But not before hitting another car and spinning out of control.
Transported to Suburban Hospital, 9NEWS NOW learned he was 42-years -old and had just been released from prison after serving a 23-year sentence for armed robbery.
When he got behind the wheel this night, he was legally intoxicated. This time, he didn't kill anyone. Next time, he might.

I went with the Copper Spur UL1 because I liked the side entry door compared with the front entry Fly Creek. For a UL1 I liked the set-up size I'm 5'11" and fit great in the Copper Spur, however, the pack size seems to be a little larger than the Fly Creek. Does anyone have any comparisons of the two?
I have the ul2. I'm 6'4" wouldn't want to share but i can sit up and eat.
I am headed to the store in the next hour to get my new Fly Creek UL2.
Question: does anybody use that footprint floor, or is not worth the weight and hassle? I know I could get it later, but we are going on a weekend fishing trip, and it is a perfect oporunity to get this and put some "tent time" in.
We use the foot prints on our tents. The fly creek is made of such lightweight material, that 1:You'll never notice the extra 3oz or whatever it weighs, and 2: You'll want the extra protection it provides.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
got the Fly Creek UL2 and took it out last weekend. Really happy with it so far. Quick and easy to setup. I really see the value in the footprint. I like the steep pitch on the top to shed snow. I think most of the bivy type tents, my old one included, sag enough in the middle, that you could have a pile of snow resting on your chest when you wake up because it pulled the stakes out at the ends.
I would agree with previous posts. 2 person tent if you are "really" cozy. Great for keeping gear inside.

Testimony :: Stephen Nix
Regional Program Director, Eurasia - International Republican Institute
Mr. Chairman, I wish to thank you for the opportunity to testify before the Commission today. We are on the eve of a presidential election in Belarus which holds vital importance for the people of Belarus. The government of the Republic of Belarus has the inherit mandate to hold elections which will ultimately voice the will of its people. Sadly, the government of Belarus has a track record of denying this responsibility to its people, its constitution, and the international community. Today, the citizens of Belarus are facing a nominal election in which their inherit right to choose their future will not be granted.
The future of democracy in Belarus is of strategic importance; not only to its people, but to the success of the longevity of democracy in all the former Soviet republics. As we have witnessed in Georgia and Ukraine, it is inevitable that the time will come when the people stand up and demand their rightful place among their fellow citizens of democratic nations. How many more people must be imprisoned or fined or crushed before this time comes in Belarus?
Mr. Chairman, the situation in Belarus is dire, but the beacon of hope in Belarus is shining. In the midst of repeated human rights violations and continual repression of freedoms, a coalition of pro-democratic activists has emerged and united to offer a voice for the oppressed. The courage, unselfishness and determination of this coalition are truly admirable. It is vitally important that the United States and Europe remain committed to their support of this democratic coalition; not only in the run up to the election, but post-election as well. The road to a free Belarus may be long, and we must make the commitment to travel with our fellow democrats to the journey's end. Today, my testimony will focus on the history of the Unified Democratic Forces, their progress in spreading their message, as well as the challenges they face.
There has been remarkable growth in the level of participation and involvement by the pro-democratic forces within Belarus in the last six years. In 2000, there was much disunity and disorganization amongst the different pro-democratic parties and organizations. In fact, a majority of the opposition parties boycotted the 2000 parliamentary elections.
Real potential for democratic growth in Belarus became evident during the Belarusian local elections held on March 2, 2003, when approximately 600 pro-reform candidates participated in the elections. One-third of these candidates (approximately 200) won seats on city councils.
Despite these targeted successes in 2003, the overall campaign environment for pro-democratic political parties continually deteriorated. Repression against the pro-democratic political parties and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) intensified and increased. In the face of continued crackdowns on their operations, in January 2004, six of the seven leading political parties in Belarus – the United Civic Party, the Belarusian People's Front, the pro-reform Belarusian Social Democratic Gramada, the Belarusian Party of Communists, the Belarusian Labor Party, and Belarusian Green Party – along with more than 200 NGOs and associations formed the People's Coalition "Five Plus." This was a major step for all pro-democratic forces in Belarus. The coalition of ideologically different parties is based on the fundamentals that any civilized political force should support: human rights, basic freedoms, the sovereignty of Belarus, and democracy. The political parties agreed that they must bring democratic change and the rule of law to Belarus before they can argue about policy differences. The coalition came out with a common list of 220 candidates who ran for the parliamentary elections in 2004. The coalition ran campaigns in each of Belarus' 110 constituencies as well as one national campaign to promote its common platform.
According to exit polling conducted by the International Republican Institute (IRI) and the Gallup Organization/Baltic Surveys, the results showed that President Alexander Lukashenko's proposal to change the Belarusian Constitution to allow him to seek a third term (a proposal which was also included on the ballot that day) did not have the support of a majority of the voters. Moreover, based on the exit polling, Belarusians did not simply vote against Lukashenko, but voted demonstrably for pro-democratic candidates running for parliament. Ultimately, the lesson of the 2004 parliamentary elections for democrats in Belarus was that with a unified democratic opposition, united behind a single candidate, they would have not only an opportunity to compete, but would have the opportunity to win the support of a majority of Belarusians.
Instead of being demoralized by the rigged election results, the pro-democracy forces of the Five Plus remained invigorated and confident of their eventual success. In November 2004, four additional political organizations including the largest parties from the European Coalition/Free Belarus (the Belarusian Social Democrats National Gramada and the Women's Party), the Young Belarus Bloc, as well as activists who previously were unregistered joined together with the parties and organizations currently in the Five Plus coalition. Since that time, an additional number of prominent individuals, NGOs, and former parliamentary candidates from all pro-democratic coalitions have joined this effort. This large coalition, now referred to as the Unified Democratic Forces (UDF), is determined to remain united until it achieves its goal of creating a truly democratic Belarus.
Following the success the Five Plus achieved during the elections in 2004, the UDF set their sights on the presidential election to be held in 2006. The coalition realized that in order for maximum success, all pro-democratic activists needed to unite behind one single leader who would represent all the pro-democratic forces. Meetings and discussions were held between party leaders, human rights organizations and youth groups; and as a result, the coalition created a comprehensive and detailed democratic process for selecting the coalition candidate.
From June to September 2005, caucuses were held in 121 of the rayons of Belarus with 4,371 Belarusian citizens participating. At each of these meetings, local delegates were selected to represent their district at the national nominating congress. These caucuses culminated with a National Democratic Congress held in Minsk, Belarus on October 1-2, 2005. More than 800 voting delegates, along with accredited press, distinguished guests and representatives of foreign embassies and diplomatic missions, were present at the Congress. After two rounds of voting, Aleksander Milinkevich narrowly won the nomination from the Congress of Democratic Forces to be the single opposition candidate for the Belarus presidential election. The conference itself was capably organized and implemented. Besides choosing the single candidate, the coalition also presented its platform entitled "Belarus: Path to the Future." This platform was an important document which sought to prove to the congress' attendees that the coalition has given serious thought to its message and goals that it would present to the Belarusian people.
Immediately following the congress, Milinkevich put together a team consisting of people from all of the political organizations. Starting in November, Milinkevich and the UDF party leaders began traveling around Belarus meeting with the citizens of Belarus to spread the UDF's message of unity and support for democracy. The UDF has also focused on the production and distribution of materials to promote their cause.
Following his registration as a candidate, Milinkevich has begun campaigning in earnest. Currently he and his team are attempting to spread the message of the UDF throughout Belarus. Because of the difficulties they face, this campaign is employing the most fundamental skills of democratic politics: person-to-person contact and grassroots activism. Before the March 19
election, Milinkevich will have visited the major cities in every oblast to meet with voters face to face, to hear their concerns, and to share his message of a peaceful, prosperous, and free Belarus.
Recent polling in Belarus confirms that Mr. Milinkevich and his team have made great strides in spreading the coalition's message to the citizens of Belarus. More than 55 percent of people in Belarus report having seen, read or heard about Milinkevich in the past few weeks. Among those people, 15 percent admit that what they have heard makes them feel much more positive about him, and 37 percent admit that what they have heard makes them feel somewhat more positive towards him. These statistics are monumental when considering the fact that Milinkevich's entire campaign is run by face-to-face meetings with voters, as he has no access to television or radio.
Despite the foregoing, Mr. Chairman, the regime shows no intentions of playing into false delusions for a fair playing field for this election.
On February 2, all precinct commissions had been formed for the March presidential vote. There will be a total of 6,627 precinct commissions, including 41 abroad.
Unfortunately, out of the total of 74,104 members on the precinct commissions, only 122 are representatives of political parties. And of these 122 political representatives, only two members represent pro-democratic opposition parties.
These abuses came on the heels of several damaging decrees which the regime had instituted over the past six months:
On August 17, 2005, the President of Belarus issued an edict which imposed new restrictions on foreign technical assistance to Belarus. The edict prohibits organizations and individuals from receiving and using assistance for "preparing and conducting elections and referenda, recalling deputies and members of the Council of the Republic, staging gatherings, rallies, street marches, demonstrations, picketing, strikes, producing and distributing campaign materials and for other forms of mass politicking among the population," according to the Belarusian president's press office. Under the edict, international technical assistance includes seminars, conferences and public discussions.
On November 1, a new law on political parties in Belarus came into force. The law sets forth new procedures for the creation of political parties, and their work and strengthens the government's control over their activities. Also, a provision relating to the suspension of political parties' activities was introduced. The activities of parties can be suspended by a decision by the Supreme Court given the appropriate application of the Justice Ministry. This new restriction has been used to astonishing affect against both the Union of Belarusian Poles and the youth umbrella organization RADA. Both have been closed and declared illegal by the government for their political activities.
Also in November, the National Academy of Science of Belarus took over the control of organizing opinion polls. This decision was formalized by the Decree of the Council of Ministers of Belarus on November 8, 2005. The council authorized a special panel under the National Academy of Science of Belarus to exercise control over the activities of accredited legal entities at any stage of opinion poll conducting. The panel has the right to revoke accreditation if it detects irregularities in the activities of a pollster or if released poll results are regarded as "biased and unreliable."
On December 20, President Lukashenko signed into law a controversial bill that would introduce severe penalties for activities deemed to be fomenting a revolution in the country. The bill amends Belarus' Criminal Code by introducing prison sentences for training people to take part in street protests, discrediting Belarus' international image abroad, and appealing to countries and international organizations to act, "to the detriment of the country's security, sovereignty and territorial integrity."
Mr. Chairman, in light of these repressions, the UDF have shown tremendous courage and tenacity. To quote Aleksander Milinkevich, "We hold no false illusions. We are in this for the long run." We owe the coalition our continued support. It is imperative that the United States and the European Union pay close attention to both the conduct and the results of the March 19 election. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe election observation mission findings will be crucial. Voting irregularities and embellished voting results must not be tolerated. It is our duty and the duty of the international community to hold Lukashenko and his regime accountable. Immediate repercussions must be put into place if the election is stolen; such as economic sanctions and visa bans on the leaders of this regime.
However, the election is only the beginning. To quote President Bush in his State of the Union Speech, "Elections are vital, but they are only the beginning. Raising up a democracy requires the rule of law, and protection of minorities, and strong, accountable institutions that last longer than a single vote." The United States and the European Union need to strategize and focus on a long-term strategy on Belarus. This long-term strategy must include discussion with Belarus' neighbor and ally the Russian Federation. We cannot afford to let European and American policy on Belarus be undercut by Russia's support of Europe's last dictator.
The UDF are determined to maintain the coalition and their work. It is imperative for us to aid their resolve. More assistance is needed. Currently the UDF has no permanent headquarters. In order for the coalition to maintain its credibility, a permanent headquarters must be organized and established. Accordingly, assistance will be needed to fight the information vacuum and to spread their message.
The UDF also need long ranging training in many aspects of democratic governance. When these activists succeed in creating democratic change in Belarus, they will be faced with challenges of governance not seen since the fall of the Soviet Union. Among the many problems they will inherit include an economy under near total state control, a corrupt judiciary and police force, and a legislature stripped of nearly all its power. It is important that the new leaders of a free Belarus have the training needed to navigate the difficult waters of economic reform and liberalization, judicial reform, and other challenges that they will face.
The coalition has proven their willingness to unite and campaign against all odds. We owe it to them to acknowledge their dedication and to see their goals of a free Belarus come into fruition.

What is entrepreneurship?
This is one of the first questions we often get from students considering entrepreneurship as a field of study. The answer, at its core, is simply the identification of opportunity and doing something about it.
Click here for Bird Cage!
Many believe this means an individual has to think of an original idea, quit their job and start their own company. While many of our graduates have been extremely successful with this path, it is just one of many. The reality is that most students fresh out of college do not have the resources to start a company; experience, connections and financial resources come over time.
You can be an entrepreneur wherever you are, in whatever position you are in. Some of the most successful people in the world are corporate entrepreneurs; individuals working in an existing company who actively seek opportunities and act on them for the advancement of their existing companies. Nothing makes you stand out more than going above and beyond your defined role, searching for and acting upon opportunities to make a company run more efficiently, produce higher margins, or expand into new markets!
In today's extremely competitive business environment, it is these entrepreneurial individuals that move to the top and make themselves known as true leaders.

After my XBMC Live guide, I decided to put together a guide for installing XBMC on Ubuntu Intrepid Minimal CD version as well.
Revision as of 08:50, 29 January 2009
1 Introduction
<xml> req = urllib2.Request(url) req.add_header('User-Agent', ' Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:220.127.116.11) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3') </xml>
After my XBMC Live guide, I decided to put together a guide for installing XBMC on Ubuntu Intrepid Minimal CD version as well.
Please note:
- I only tested this with nvidia, so I have no experience with ATI
- The guide is for using XBMC on a dedicated HTPC, so there is not any window manager installed
- You need minimum 4GB size flash drive or hard disk to go
This guide walks you through how to install every needed components and XBMC itself, but try to leave to footprint as small as it can.
You will get:
- A dedicated HTPC autoboot to XBMC
- Latest XBMC SVN version
- Upgraded ALSA driver
- Upgraded NVIDIA driver
- Lirc (I have MS MCE Remote which works out of the box, so everybody with other remotes and LCD displays are in his/ her own to solve the individual Lirc issues)
- Suspend/ resume (works perfectly on ASUS P5N7A-VM)
So, let's start:
2 Preparation
FIRST STEP Download, burn and install Ubuntu Intrepid mini.iso from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...tion/MinimalCD
Apparently there seems to be an issue with Intrepid installer. If you are using flash drive, it's not installing GRUB for some reason.
You have to options: Either install Hardy(Ubuntu 8.04) mini.iso first, which is install GRUB, then right after that, install Intrepid mini.iso over the same flash drive. It will reformat the drive, but GRUB will stay alive on the drive.
Second option is that right after Intrepid mini installation, boot up Intrepid mini.iso from the CD again, choose rescue mode, and there you will find an "install GRUB" option.
During the installation, please set "xbmc" as username and password at the account creation.
At the end, when you have to choose from the optional components, check only "OpenSSH" to be able to access your HTPC remotely via SSH.
After you're done, boot it up, then use an SSH application (e.g. putty) to log in remotely from your desktop, using the above created username and password. This way, you will be able to copy/ paste all the steps below. Alternatively you can use your console, but then you will have a hard time type in everything.
So once you logged in:
First of all, update the repos, and install all prerequisites:
NEXT STEP Code:
- sudo apt-get update
NEXT STEP Code:
- sudo apt-get install –y subversion make g++ gcc gawk pmount libtool nasm automake cmake gperf unzip bison libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-gfx1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-sound1.2-dev libsdl-stretch-dev libfribidi-dev liblzo-dev libfreetype6-dev libsqlite3-dev libogg-dev libasound-dev python-sqlite libglew-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev x11proto-xinerama-dev libxinerama-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev libmad0-dev libtre-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libmysqlclient-dev libpcre3-dev libdbus-1-dev libhal-dev libhal-storage-dev libjasper-dev libfontconfig-dev libbz2-dev libboost-dev libfaac-dev libenca-dev libxt-dev libxmu-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-dev wget build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` xorg pm-utils mingetty
Please note, that as this is a guide for dedicated HTPC and in this case we mostly need passthrough, I choose NOT to install the libs for Pulseaudio and compile XBMC later without Pulseaudio support. As far I understand, only ALSA is needed in this case.
3 To upgrade ALSA
I have modified the ALSA upgrade script (available at Ubuntuforums), and now it is working with only "-di" option in our case here (Also on ASUS P5N7A-VM).
To download and use:
NEXT STEP Code:
NEXT STEP Code:
- chmod 777 AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.15-Ben.sh
NEXT STEP Code:
- sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.15-Ben.sh -di
This mini version of Intrepid has a bug (or maybe a feature), that the user created at installation is not added to the "audio" group. We need the correct this:
NEXT STEP Code:
- sudo usermod -a -G audio xbmc
or replace "xbmc" with username you installed with
reboot the computer:
NEXT STEP Code:
- sudo reboot
For some reason, the driver snapshot for ALSA 1.0.19 is not always downloading properly; in this case you have to run the script again. To check whether the driver upgraded or not:
NEXT STEP Code:
- more /proc/asound/version
If you see driver version 1.0.19 here, you can continue, but if there is 1.0.17 as driver version, then you have to repeat the last 3 step (upgrade, reboot, check).
If it's OK, then you can delete the just downloaded ALSA source to free up some disk space:
NEXT STEP Code:
- sudo rm -r /usr/src/Alsa-1.0.19/
Now run alsamixer: NEXT STEP Code:
- alsamixer
Navigate right with cursor keys until IEC958 and unmute all three of them (IEC958) with "M" key. You should see in case of all three IEC958 a "00" in green background. Press "ESC" to quit from alsamixer.
Now, you have to edit the following file, using nano for example:
NEXT STEP Code:
- sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
and add this line to the end:
options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig
4 To update NVIDIA driver
NEXT STEP Code:
NEXT STEP Code:
- sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.22-pkg1.run
In the nvidia installer: accept the License agreement, choose "YES" for "No precompiled kernel interface...", choose "OK" for "No matching precompiled kernel interface...", than choose "YES" to update X configuration file, than finally "OK" again at the end.
Now you can delete NVIDIA installer
NEXT STEP Code:
- rm NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.22-pkg1.run
5 To install XBMC (latest SVN)
NEXT STEP Code:
Wait for downloading XBMC source files, might takes long time, depend on your Internet connection. After it downloaded:
NEXT STEP Code:
- cd XBMC
OPTIONAL STEP If you experience problems with Intrepid ffmpeg performance (most probably you will) which is under discussion here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=43075, you may want to try aron's patch (thank you aron, for this).
Please be aware, that this is not supported and not recommended by team-XBMC. If you don't want to install this patch, just skip all the optional steps and jump to the closest "NEXT STEP".
OPTIONAL STEP2 Code:
OPTIONAL STEP3 Code:
- patch -p0 < xbmc_ffmpeg_mt.patch
Then configure/compile/install XBMC:
NEXT STEP Code:
- ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-pulse
NEXT STEP Code:
- make -j2
(NOTE: use only "make", if you don't have a dualcore CPU) This is again, can take a a while, depend on your CPU speed.
NEXT STEP Code:
- sudo make install
6 To autoboot and autostart XBMC
NEXT STEP Code:
- cd ..
Or "cd $home"
NEXT STEP Code:
NEXT STEP Code:
- sudo nano /etc/event.d/tty2
In here comment out the last line (with #) and add the following line. The end of the file should look like this:
- exec /sbin/getty 38400 tty2
exec /sbin/mingetty --autologin xbmc tty2
Or replace "xbmc" with the username you installed Ubuntu Mini.
NEXT STEP Code:
- sudo nano .bash_profile
Copy the following text, then save the file:
if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && [ $(tty) == /dev/tty2 ]; then
startx -- -br
7 To install Lirc
NEXT STEP Code:
- sudo apt-get install –y lirc
And follow the wizard.
8 Power Management
To be able to control power management (suspend, shutdown, reboot) from within XBMC, you have to change PolicyKit.conf
NEXT STEP Code:
- sudo wget -P/etc/PolicyKit http://188.8.131.52/PolicyKit.conf
If you wish to enable CPU scaling feature:
First of all, don't forget to enable it in the BIOS.
- sudo apt-get powernowd
9 Configure xorg.conf for proper modes to benefit from auto refresh
This is not an easy part and can differ from display to display. For myself, I include 3 custom modelines to my xorg.conf for my FullHD plazma screen.
If you have a FullHD display, and want to play with my xorg.conf you can replace your xorg.conf with mine:
NEXT STEP Code:
- sudo cp /etc/X11.xorg.conf /etc/X11.xorg.conf.backup
NEXT STEP Code:
- sudo wget -P/etc/X11 http://184.108.40.206/xorg.conf
10 Sound configuration in XBMC
After booted into XBMC switch to "digital" audio output, than choose the AC3 and DTS capabilities according to your receiver. For SPDIF: leave audio output device: default and passthrough on IEC958 For HDMI: change both audio output device and passthrough to hdmi (you will loose analog sound eg. navigation sound in case of hdmi)

The beach at Bayfront Park, Ala., following a summer of heavy oiling and cleanup efforts from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill that took place in 2010. A team of researchers from the University of California, Davis, collected samples here to study the effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on microbial eukaryote species. [Image 1 of 4 related images. See Image 2.]
More About This Image
Microbial eukaryote species, which are largely invisible to the naked eye, include groups such as nematode worms, protists and fungi. These microscopic species are often overlooked during environmental disasters, but they play important ecological roles. They represent the base of the food chain in marine ecosystems, and are additionally responsible for recycling nutrients, such as carbon, in the environment.
This study investigated the effects of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill on communities of microscopic eukaryotes in the Gulf of Mexico. Little is known about the biodiversity of these species in marine ecosystems--how many species exist, how do they co-exist and interact, and what is the geographic distribution for species that are assumed to have a limited ability to move around? Even less is known about the response of microbial species to environmental disturbances such as oil spills. Are most species resilient to pollutants or do communities change drastically following environmental impacts?
In this study, millions of "DNA barcodes" were obtained from Gulf beaches in order to describe microbial eukaryote communities before and after shoreline oiling. Initial work focused on five beach locations around Mobile Bay and Dauphin Island, Ala. Beach sediment was sampled in May 2010, before oil impacted the shoreline (pre-spill samples), and again in September 2010, after the sites had been affected by oil slicks and undergone cleanup efforts during the course of the spill (post-spill samples). An additional post-spill study site was Grand Isle, La., which was undergoing heavy oiling at the time of sample collection.
The study results showed dramatic changes to microbial communities after the 2010 Gulf oil spill. Pre-spill samples showed a typical microscopic beach community dominated by nematode worms, but containing a mix of other species such as arthropods, polychaete worms, protists, algae and fungi. Post-spill sites, on the other hand, were almost exclusively dominated by a few species of fungi. Oil-induced environmental stress may have favored a common set of resilient, opportunistic fungal species that could thrive at post-spill sites: previous studies have suggested that some of the observed fungal species may have been able to use oil compounds as a food source in post-spill sediments.
The present study offers only a small snapshot of the biological impacts resulting from the Gulf oil spill. The ultimate cause of the changes in beach microbial communities is still uncertain: Are the community shifts a direct result of oil impacts (as suggested by the dominance of oil-associated fungal taxa), or a function of mechanical beach cleanup efforts (which may have physically damaged and killed fragile microbial species)? Or were they perhaps influenced by seasonal variation in species abundance (a topic that has not been extensively studied in the Gulf region)? Further research is currently trying to answer some of these questions.
This research is funded by a collaborative National Science Foundation Grant for Rapid Response Research (RAPID), awarded in August 2010 to the University of New Hampshire, the University of Texas, San Antonio, and Auburn University. (Date of Image: September 2010)

Martyn, Nah I've not been told exactly what was done, and no mention of any warranty extension or anything, which is a bit off, but maybe it's a case of them just being too busy right now and they'll sort that after, we'll see.I did notice on my bike, several areas have got silver paint on them, I'm pretty sure the parts werent painted tacky silver prior to the bike going but I can't remember. The bracket on the silencer has a line of the silver across it, the top part of the break pedal (under the rubber with some visible), and at least one other "bit" which I can't recall off the top of my head. Dannie have you got any on your C5?James

The Hardest Pitch in Yosemite Goes Down!
According to Tommy Caldwell, Yosemite's hardest pitch of free-climbing has now been established ... smack dab in the middle of the Dawn Wall!
"I regret to inform anyone looking to climb the hardest pitch in Yosemite that now they have to get to the absolute middle of El Cap to make it happen," posted Caldwell via Facebook. "PITCH 15 WENT DOWN!!!"
Caldwell credits winter conditions for his send, and accompanied his post with a picture of a snow-filled Yosemite Valley, writing: "It's looking like winter conditions are the way forward."
Pro Climbers International also shared the news on Facebook, posting: "Breaking News: Tommy Caldwell just sent Pitch 15, the second "traverse pitch" on the Dawn Wall. At 5.14d, it's the hardest pitch in Yosemite and represents a huge step toward an eventual send of the entire route."
According to one of Kevin Jorgeson's Facebook posts from October, Pitch 15 contains the infamous eight-foot sideways dyno. However, the 15th pitch Caldwell redpointed actually ends just below the sideways dyno, which is now part of Pitch 16.
Regardless, progress has continued on what will certainly be the hardest big-wall free climb in the world.

May 252016
Businessman Tom Wolfe has cleared his calendar for a morning tryst with hunky associate Angelo Marconi. The two get down to business with Angelo nibbling Tom's tits and kissing his hairy torso. He then reaches inside the big guy's trousers to free his cock and sucks it all the way down, almost gagging on its enormity. Before long, Tom is greedily rimming Angelo's hot tight hole, his tongue digging deep inside the crack. Having primed and prepped it sufficiently, Tom is up for a bigger merger and he fucks Angelo's ass, working his thick cock in faster and harder with every forceful thrust. Begging for more, Angelo climbs aboard and rides his colleague's tool. They twist into different positions and continue screwing until Angelo blasts his load across his abs. Tom withdraws and seals the deal shooting his load up across his exhausted partner's pecs.

A woman is hurt in a rollover accident on southbound U.S 127 Friday morning. The crash happened between the Grand river and Michigan Avenue exits around 1am.
Lansing Township Police tell us the36-year-old woman from Eaton Rapids was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Police say she lost control, hit two guardrails--- causing the pick-up to roll over and come to a rest upside down.
Both southbound lanes were shut down for a few hours while crews cleared the scene. The highway has since been reopened.
The crash is still under investigation, but police suspect alcohol is a factor.

This soup was delicious. Can't wait to make it again.
Made this for St Patrick's Day weekend. Easy to make and tasted great. I used 3 large leeks (as I could only buy them in a bundle) and 4 large baking potatoes. Both leeks and potatoes weighed more than suggested for recipe, but the soup was delicious and we had enough left for 3 more meals (frozen) for the two of us.
This was easy and quick to make AND absolutely delicious!

Coming Soon: Rocksmith, to Cultivate Your Inner Rock Star (by Teaching You Guitar)
The French company Ubisoft, which is the world's third-largest game developer, maintains its local headquarters at 625 Third Street, and is about to launch what may prove to be a revolutionary new game next month called Rocksmith.
Now, bear with me here. I'm not one to throw the adjective "revolutionary" around loosely. First, as a former 60s activist, I'm keenly aware of how overused that term has always been, and how rarely anything (particularly a product) described as revolutionary actually turns out to be so in the real world.
But this time, the adjective may prove fitting.
First, some context. Remember Guitar Hero? Or the large number of imitator games that followed?
I'll never forget the day I walked into a startup in 2008 in downtown Redwood City, where I first watched a bunch of geeks playing fake guitars, perhaps seeking to replicate the emotional high of being an actual rock star, albeit before a virtual crowd.

Battestelli Meatballs
The Battestelli Family's Homemade Italian Meatballs and Spaghetti Sauce
from the kitchen of Kate Battistelli, see more at katebattistelli.com/food/kitchen-princess
2 pounds ground beef
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1-2 cups freshly grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
4-5 large cloves fresh garlic chopped fine
1-2 teaspoons sea salt
Several grinds of pepper
4 teaspoons parsley flakes or 3 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
6 eggs
Olive oil, about enough to come 1/2 way up the sides of your skillet
Water, enough to make the meatballs quite soft. In fact, they are wet enough when
they just barely hold t heir shape. This is the key to making them tender and not tough.
Put everything in a big mixing bowl and mix it all together with your hand s until everything
is well mixed.
Shape it into balls, about an inch, and brown in olive oil on both sides in a big, deep pot. Because the meatballs are soft, they won't be perfectly round when they are cooked.
Cook them in batches for about 4 to 5 minutes each side.
Spaghetti Sauce
To those wonderful drippings from the sautéed meatballs, add:
2 chopped onions
4 cloves chopped garlic
Sauté for a couple of minutes just to soften and add:
2 cans organic tomato paste
Salt and pepper to taste
4 Tablespoons dried parsley flakes
Stir and simmer for a couple of minutes. Then add:
4 large cans (28 oz.) organic tomato puree or crushed tomatoes
4 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 tomato puree can of water
Add your cooked meatballs into the sauce, bring to a simmer and cook about 3 hours. If the sauce seems too thick at any point, add a little water. Taste the sauce from time to time and add a little salt or sugar. Sometimes it can be too acidic so the sugar really helps. I usually add a couple tablespoons.
Stir often but very carefully as the meatballs are quite delicate and can easily break apart.
When you can't wait another minute because it smells so fantastic, cook up some pasta, add a loaf of crusty Italian bread, and a green salad!
Best served with family, friends and Battistelli Pasta!
Princess Tips
• Instead of or in addition to the meatballs, brown a pound or two of sliced hot or sweet Italian sausage in olive oil. Remove when it's brown, make your sauce and add the sausage back in and cook just like you do with the meatballs.
• A splash of red wine, maybe 1/2 a cup really makes this sauce sing!
• This recipe is easily cut in half or, doubled.
• This freezes quite well.
• Sometimes, I slice up the meatballs and sausage and use it as a layer in lasagna with the sauce. It is unbelievably good especially if you use a layer of béchamel on the bottom. Oh my.


text: How one nuclear skirmish could wreck the planet Science 28 February 11 by Dave Mosher Even a small nuclear exchange could ignite mega-firestorms and wreck the planet's atmosphere.New climatological simulations show 100 Hiroshima-sized nuclear bombs -- relatively small warheads, compared to the arsenals military superpowers stow today -- detonated by neighboring countries would destroy more than a quarter of the Earth's ozone layer in about two years.Regions closer to the poles would see even more precipitous drops in the protective gas, which absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. New York and Sydney, for example, would see declines rivaling the perpetual hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica. And it may take more than six years for the ozone layer to reach half of its former levels.Researchers described the results during a panel 18 February at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, calling it "a real bummer" that such a localised nuclear war could bring the modern world to its knees."This is tremendously dangerous," said environmental scientist Alan Robock of Rutgers University, one of the climate scientists presenting at the meeting. "The climate change would be unprecedented in human history, and you can imagine the world … would just shut down."To defuse the complexity involved in a nuclear climate catastrophe, Wired.com sat down with Michael Mills, an atmospheric chemist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, who led some of the latest simulation efforts.'It's pretty clear this would lead to a global nuclear famine.'Wired: In your simulation, a war between India and Pakistan breaks out. Each country launches 50 nukes at their opponent's cities. What happens after the first bomb goes off? Michael Mills: The initial explosions ignite fires in the cities, and those fires would build up for hours. What you eventually get is a firestorm, something on the level we saw in World War II in cities like Dresden, in Tokyo, Hiroshima and so on. Today we have larger cities than we did then -- mega cities. And using 100 weapons on these different mega cities, like those in India and Pakistan, would cause these firestorms to build on themselves. They would create their own weather and start sucking air through bottom. People and objects would be sucked into buildings from the winds, basically burning everything in the city. It'll burn concrete, the temperatures get so hot. It converts mega cities into black carbon smoke. Read page 2 1234 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

Zaarly: A Buyer-Led Marketplace Taking San Francisco By Storm
By David Weir on July 15, 2011 4:49 PM
Right now, Zaarly co-founder Bo Fishback is living that part of the dream every entrepreneur hopes for, having launched a company that – at least in its infancy – is rising like a rocket.
Zaarly is a buyer-led marketplace, sort of a reverse eBay or Craigslist, and a hand-held replacement for those anemic "Wanted" sections in the classifieds.
It launched just seven weeks ago and it works like this:

IBM Support Portal R8.2 has been deployed.
Key updates include:
Search enhancements
Mobile enhancements
User context enhancements
Search enhancements
It was found that many users did not notice the default search settings and thus did not receive the results that they expected. The following default search settings have been changed, which should improve the search results for most users.
The default search scope has been changed to "All support & downloads" from "Within my selected products."
If a user changes their selection to "Within my selected products," that will become the default search scope for that user until the selection is changed again.
On the "Downloads," "Troubleshoot" and "Plan & install" pages, search defaults to search against all tasks rather than within the particular page task.R8.1:
Non-English users will see documents in both their language as well as in English in search results and from"View All" and "More" results links.
Mobile enhancements
On mobile devices, a new "Service information" module will be available for select System x products. The new module will present helpful links to System x resources.
"Service information" can be reached two different ways. (1) Using your mobile device, scan the QR code that is on a System x product. (2) Access the Support Portal's mobile site, select one of the supported products, and select "Service information".
