Sometimes you can spot a train wreck before it happens. At that point, the only thing that matters is who's driving that train.
Take Schering-Plough. In the 1990s, it was big and profitable, thanks to Claritin (loratadine), the allergy drug that almost single-handedly introduced the DTC era. At its peak in 2001, Claritin generated $3.1 billion in sales—almost a third of SP's total revenues.
Then the bubble burst. Faced with generic competition, SP's sales plummeted by more than 70 percent. SP's hepatitis franchise, with stiff competition and a product that eliminated demand by curing patients, dropped as well. Schering was leaking cash to the tune of $1 billion per year. What's more, the company was dealing with a multitude of regulatory issues, from FDA fines to a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation to charges of improper marketing.Who you gonna call?
In short, how about Fred Hassan?
Schering-Plough made the call, and Hassan took over in April 2003, dressed in his uniform of grey suit, white shirt, and red tie. He came armed with a five-step turnaround plan: stabilize the company; repair it; turn it around; build the base; and break out. Estimated time to completion: six to eight years.
But first, inform the employees. Within the first few days of arriving at SP, Fred did a road show of his plan. "In hindsight, that was the right thing to do," says Hassan. "It gave the whole company a road map to work with, a sense that there was somebody in charge even as they knew they were facing very difficult problems. At that stage, the best you can do is show that you are in charge and in control."
Hassan, meanwhile, was rebuilding. Key to the plan was Vytorin, the cholesterol drug that combined SP's Zetia (ezetimibe) and Merck's Zocor (simvastatin). Hassan worked closely with R&D head Thomas Koestler on the evolving label. SP needed Vytorin to save the company, so everything had to be perfect. Hassan remembers the drug's launch meeting. "It was a very emotional gathering," he says. "It was not just a product launch, it was the re-launch of a company."
And sure enough, since the Vytorin launch, SP has
The Schering-Plough story offers a fascinating tale of a turnaround. But it's also a story of how a leader can right the ship of the beleaguered modern-day pharmaceutical company. Given the challenges the industry faces, models of effective leadership are precious. Who can today's pharm execs learn from? To some extent or other, many leaders need to set themselves to the task of studying, emulating, and being a leader like Fred Hassan.
Which leads to the real question: How does he do it?
1 Start Early
Hassan was born in 1945, and he gives part of the credit for his career to lessons he learned while growing up in Pakistan. From his father, the country's first ambassador to India, he learned about war, diplomacy, and bridging cultures. His mother, a women's-rights advocate (no easy role in an Islamic country), taught him to take risks and to decide for himself what's right. In school, he loved geography and picked up English from Elvis.
Hassan left Pakistan to study chemical engineering at the University of London, then business at Harvard. When he graduated in 1972, he joined Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, working his way up the ladder with risky, difficult assignments: the reorganization of a marketing unit in Nebraska; then the turnaround of Sandoz's failing local operations in Pakistan.
"These jobs got me to see new things and tested me in different environments," says Hassan. "This is one of the industry's big challenges. By the time people are in the situation where they wish they had more exposure, it's hard to rotate out because they are very senior in a functional role."
By the age of 42, Hassan was CEO, a job he held until Sandoz merged with Ciba-Geigy in the $30 billion deal that created Novartis, the world's second-largest drug company. He moved to American Home Products and became president of its Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories division. Before long, Hassan was elected to AHP's board of directors and eyed as heir apparent to CEO John Stafford.
But a much greater opportunity (read: challenge) awaited him. In 1997, he became CEO of the newly formed Pharmacia & Upjohn. The company had realized some savings from the merger, but it was failing to meet postmerger targets. To Hassan, job one was to untangle the mess created by the original merger plan, which gave operational autonomy to the company's business units in Kalamazoo, Stockholm, and Milan. To break down the cultural divides that split the company, Hassan picked five products for the entire team to unite behind. Then he moved P&U to New Jersey, where Hassan has lived ever since.
In 1999, Hassan engineered another mega-merger, this time with Monsanto, for $37 billion, gaining control of arthritis drug Celebrex. But that deal was dwarfed by what came next: the 2002 merger of Pharmacia and Pfizer, which created the world's largest drugmaker—by far.
The deal was pharma's biggest ever, but in terms of challenge, the high point was yet to come—on Hassan's second day on the job at Schering-Plough, he had to persuade an angry board of directors to buy into his action plan.
How did Hassan know what to do? "When you're in a turbulent situation, you have to take charge and work with imperfect information in a very limited period of time," he says. "That's where it really does help to have faced a similar pattern of problems in the past.
2 Make 'em Trust You
A pharma leader is responsible for engendering many forms of trust: from shareholders ("I believe in what you're doing for the company"); employees ("I like working here, and I believe I have a future"); and customers ("Your company's products can help me/my patient").

We find out if we're having a boy or girl in a couple weeks! We've been musing about names and have a list of girls' names to think about bUt are having a hard time with boys' names. It may be a moot point if we're having a girl, but I think it's fun to talk about it.
There are really only two boys' names I've found that I like: Drake and Dashiell (DASH-uhl), like the author. We're looking for something outside of the Top 60 and the middle name would be Scott.
Does anyone want to share some of their favorite names? What do you look for in choosing a name? Any specific criteria? What do you avoid?

1968 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback Resto - Taking It To The Street - Bartered BaracudaWritten by on October 1, 2002 Are All Of The Road-Worthy Bargains History? Our Frugal Tech Maven Says, "No Way!"
You have to love fresh meat. You know, the latest Mopar you dragged home? The possibilities are wide open. Some cynical admirers are convinced that all the sweet deals on vintage Mopar iron are long gone. It may take more persistence, quick action, and some looking, but there is metal to be found. If you're on the lookout for a specific model at a specific price, it may take some time and effort before hitting pay dirt, but patience pays off. We're not saying that enough looking will turn up a Hemi drop-top for pocket change. Keep a realistic expectation of what the dollar buys.
Having been on the prowl for a '68 Plymouth Barracuda fastback for a couple of years, when a deal came up, we didn't hesitate to buy. The ad offered a '68 fastback Plymouth at either $1,300 cash or trade. The seller was after an A-engine drivetrain for a Slant Six Dart. We had a sweet E-58 360 in a '70 E-Body and a street/strip 727 with a high-stall converter on our workshop floor. The deal was made. We yanked the small-block, rented a trailer, and hit the highway to see what we bought. We committed ourselves to the buy, sight unseen.
The '68 turned out to be what the seller described, no more and no less. It was covered in flat black primer, had a gutted interior, a 318 with a column-shifted 904, and Bondo-filled lower quarters. Most of the interior was stowed away and came with the car. Fifteen years ago we would have considered it a $400 beater. Twenty years ago there were much finer examples in the junkyards, but with the passing of time, our perspectives have changed. While we might have been concerned with paint and upholstery a decade or two ago, today we were delighted by this car's solid floors and chassis rails. The rust-free trunk floor was an unexpected bonus. That it actually ran, drove, and came with papers made it really seem like a deal.
Under Hood Attention
Although the counter read 88,437 miles, we have no way of knowing on which go-around it was travelling. The 318 appeared virgin under its greasy and grimy exterior. Unmistakable factory engine enamel and none of the obvious aftermarket gaskets peering out between the castings were the clues. We were told the factory two-barrel induction had been recently replaced with the swap meet StreetMaster intake. Since we had plenty of carbs at home, we kicked the AFB on the manifold back to the seller to aid with his Dart project, along with the engine fan. We knew it ran and actually sounded pretty sweet, despite the mild blow-by.
Chassis Check Out
Our initial test drive was from the driveway to the trailer. Once back at our digs and running, we were out on the road for a quick shakedown run. We were told, "It pulls to the right when braking," but we weren't prepared for the violent chassis shift with the slightest binder action. Steering felt like the wheel was detached from the linkage for the first quarter turn, and the drivetrain vibration would intimidate the uninitiated.
A-Body Blues
A rusted-out body can make for a dangerous ride, but fortunately our Barracuda was structurally solid. We did detect some Bondo covering rust in the lower quarters, but that wasn't a structural issue. Our Unitbody was about as solid and dry as you'll find on a 35-year-old car. As is common on A-Bodies, our doorjambs were blown out where the door-latch striker mounted.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The messy rubber fuel line was not a good look, so out came our benders to fab-up some 5/16-inch hardline.The rusty waterfall cascading from the radiator tank was a clear sign of trouble. The radiator was fairly new, but sported a short split in the soldered seam. With a drain of the coolant and some quick torch work, the seam was soldered with the radiator in place.A flex fan from who-knows-what had been collecting dust on our shelf for years. As luck would have it, our shelf also yielded a factory shroud, completing the cooling system.Underneath, we found the problem-a strut rod sheared in half. As good fortune would have it, we had a replacement in the garage. With no strut rod, only the pivot supported the lower control arm. This allowed radical shifts in the front-end geometry, particularly when braking. The rod was replaced and installed with some spare used polyurethane strut rod bushings. We rebushed both sides.With the broken strut rod, the control arm pivot bushing took a beating. We pressed in some OEM rubber bushings left over from a suspension-rebuild kit.While the tie rod ends seemed acceptable, we found the idler arm wasted. Here was our major source of steering play. We bought a '70 Duster a while back, which had a new idler arm and some other parts in the trunk. Since it was a direct interchange with the Barracuda, we had it covered.Other than the brutal chassis reaction, the Barracuda's 10-inch drum brakes seemed to work great. Still, a brake inspection should be at the top of the list with an old car. We checked the hoses, lines, and wheel cylinders for signs of deterioration or leakage, and the components looked good. The linings were fresh, but we found the drums bent and distorted at the wheel lug face. We also had a broken left-hand thread stud on one of the hubs. Stashed in boxes when we converted our Duster to discs was a spare set of hubs and drums, which were a direct replacement.The underhood wiring suffered more than anything else. A check of the harnesses revealed some rough repairs. Bare wire strands wrapped around contacts in lieu of terminals, and there were grafted wire bypasses poorly routed throughout. These are problems waiting to happen. We opened our wiring kit and rerouted, terminated, or replaced the damaged areas.A-Bodies are notorious for broken latch strikers at the doorjambs. This car came with a dog leash fastened to the racing bucket seat, which hooked over the door lock button in place of the normal latch mechanism. While this retained the door, it wasn't up to Mopar Muscle's safety standards, and would never pass tech at the drag strip. A-Body strikers mount through a hole in the jamb sheetmetal and screw into a thick floating plate retained by a spot-welded cage. Eventually, the backing plate will work through the non-reinforced jamb, and the whole apparatus will collapse. Luckily, we found the original threaded backing plate behind the door panel.
Tape lines were laid out and the damaged area of the jamb cut out. We cut within the flat portion of the jamb, leaving a margin all around. The original retaining cage was salvaged.The flat black steel wheels complemented the flat black color of the Plymouth, but they were only 4 1/2 inches wide with skinny mismatched tires. We found a set of small pattern A-Body Rallye wheels complete with caps from a Duster Twister at the wrecking yard, and put them away thinking they would come in handy for something. The wheels were blasted and repainted, and a new set of BFGoodrich T/A tires-measuring 235/60-14 and 245/60R-14-were mounted. This setup ran briefly on our Duster until it was converted to the big bolt pattern. While a purist would frown at putting later model wheels on a '68 Barracuda, we figured they would look better on our Plymouth than on our tire rack.We found a loose U-Joint as the culprit of the drivetrain vibration. The driveshaft was pulled and a replacement joint from Pep Boys fixed the problem.A sheetmetal patch was cut to fit neatly in the hole. A larger second piece was trimmed out to the margin of the flat area, and the two pieces plug-welded together. This reinforced the patch and formed a stepped flange behind the patch. The striker hole was located and drilled, then the captive plate lined up and the retaining cage welded in place. With the repair section installed from the back, the patch was flush with the original jamb, and the second backing piece provided a flange for temporary screws.

text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor The old saying that goes something like, "One man's trash is another man's treasure" certainly applies in this case—just ask local pilot Bob Bounds. Who you might call a lifelong plane fanatic, Bounds acquired a wreck and turned it into something beautiful, flyable and treasurable. The quest to "reverse engineer" the plane he calls a "Bearcoupe" began seven years ago, using up pretty much all of his spare time. "I don't watch too much TV but I'm kind of a slow builder," said Bounds. "I had to stop working on the plane one summer and build a shop behind my house because the plane outgrew the garage."The Story Behind It Bounds tells the story which started in 1989 when Fred Keller from Alaska built a plane he called a "Prospector" that he flew to Oshkosh, Wisc. Keller won the grand champion trophy. It is a bush plane that Keller built to fly to his island cabin, said Bounds. "When I saw the original "Prospector" at Oshkosh, I just fell in love with the looks of it and the idea of flying to back country strips to camp and fish," said Bounds. He said this was reinforced when he flew the Vari-eze (the plane he currently flies) to Alaska in 1998 and saw some interesting places to fly that required a bush plane type to land. Bounds said he talked to Keller and asked if plans were available. "He very pointedly said, "NO." Bounds said he now knows why Keller didn't have plans—it's a tough build. So he kind of gave up and went on to build the Vari-eze. While Bounds was talking about planes several years ago with Perkins County resident Kelvin Kurkowski, Kurkowski said he'd had a ride in a "Prospector" that belonged to a friend of his in Montana. "Huh?!" was Bounds' reaction. "It turned out that Fred Keller had built a second "Prospector" for a friend (former friend, they almost went to court over the price)." So Bounds called the owner of the second plane in Montana to see if he had plans. It turned out the pilot had crashed the plane in the mountains of Idaho the previous month, explained Bounds. Carburetor ice caused an engine failure and the airplane was totally destroyed, severely injuring the pilot and his wife. The pilot said he'd sure like to see somebody build another one, however, there were no plans available and the airplane was in many pieces. He suggested Bounds try to "reverse engineer" it from the wreckage. "Well, fool that I am, I hooked onto a trailer and pulled it clear up to western Montana to just take a look in case I could maybe repair the plane," said Bounds. "It turned out to be pretty well totally destroyed, so of course, I purchased the wreckage. "Boy, was Deb [wife] ticked. I came dragging home with this pile that I stretch-wrapped onto a trailer and said, "isn't this just cool? Not so much." He proceeded to measure, saw, tear, measure again etc., until he had at least some rough drawings to start building with—and building, and building, and building. It's finally done, inspected, and was flown over the weekend. He has been assigned a limited area to fly in and will be required to complete 40 hours of flight testing before he can leave the area or carry a passenger. Bounds flew a couple of times Saturday for 30 minutes, circled at 6,500 feet and did some stalls. "It flies nice, I'm real happy," he said. "It scares the heck outta ya!" "This build has been a long and challenging journey," said Bounds. "It has been fun, frustrating, expensive, but rewarding, mostly because I like building stuff and I'm too dumb or stubborn to give up. Some of the engineering side of the project has been pretty difficult, but I've learned a lot. A lot of the airplane is different from the original and pretty "experimental" so I hope it all works out." The enthusiastic pilot obtained his private license in 1986. He was taught to fly by local resident Ole Sihm. "I think he swore off instructing after that!" said Bounds. He said as a young boy he was completely nuts over airplanes. He built lots of plastic models and read books about aviation. "My father was a pilot and gave me my first airplane ride, so he only fanned the flame," Bounds said. He flew radio control models as an adult and then learned to fly. He was influenced to try home-building by the late Ed Martens, a local World War II hero. "I spent a lot of time helping him build planes and considered him a mentor and friend," said Bounds. Averaging flying once every week or two for pleasure only, Bounds said he does take passengers. "I don't take paying passengers as I don't have a commercial pilot's license or a certified airplane," he said. Both of his home-built planes are two-seaters. Bounds said his son Jon has some interest in flying and enjoys it a lot, but like most young people, he has little time or extra money to pursue it. "My daughter Megan is like my wife—she tolerates flying if it gets her someplace interesting," said Bounds. He said his wife Deb tolerates his habit, but is an excellent fiber-glasser. Bounds said he and Deb take the plane on a whim and fly to Lincoln to visit their son and daughter and family.The Hobby Bounds said he what is called a "home-builder." His planes are licensed in the category of "experimental amateur built." Experimental aircraft require at least a private pilot's license to fly and are allowed to fly basically anywhere a certified aircraft can fly if they are properly equipped. They are not allowed to be used for commercial flight. The range of aircraft included in this group is huge, said Bounds. They range from $10,000 puddle jumpers to planes like the kitplane called a Lancair Evolution which will cost about $1.3 million to finish. "There are quite a few of us home-builders out there," he said. The total number of homebuilt planes in the U.S. is now over 33,000. Bounds said the most popular brand of kits is made by Van's Aircraft and they are being finished at a rate of about three a week. Plane home-builders now produce more planes than the certified companies like Cessna and Piper, said Bounds. The U.S. has some of the most progressive rules in the world pertaining to homebuilt aircraft and this allows for a lot of innovation. Most home-builders, including Bounds, are members of the "Experimental Aircraft Association" but a lot of the members are not builders, just airplane enthusiasts. The EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) has an annual fly-in in Oshkosh, Wisc. called Airventure that he has attended several times. "For the week of that convention, Oshkosh is the busiest airport in the world with thousands of airplanes there and over 50,000 people camped on the field," said Bounds. He serves as secretary/treasurer of a local chapter of the EAA that has given introductory airplane rides to over 1,000 kids between the ages of eight and 17 as part of a national program called "Young Eagles." The local chapter meets semi monthly, "Mostly to tell lies and drink coffee!" he said.

Le Mars 8 Spirit Lake 2 (game one)
Spirit Lake 13 Le Mars 3 (game two)
(GRANVILLE) -- Gehlen let a lead slip away in the seventh inning of their 6-5 June 3rd loss to Spalding Catholic but Wednesday night, the Jays held off a seventh inning rally by the Spartans to win 8-6 in Granville in War Eagle Conference baseball action. Gehlen took an 8-2 lead into the seventh inning before Spalding scored four runs and had two on with one out. Mitch Christoffel relieved starter Blake Wiltgen and got a pair of ground outs to quell the threat. Wiltgen led the Jays at the plate with three hits while Christoffel and Devin Groenhagen had two hits each. Christoffel had a pair of doubles and two RBI's. Groenhagen had a double and two RBI's. The Jays have now knocked off the two top teams in the War Eagle Conference in the past week. Gehlen improves to 10-and-12 for the season and 6-and-8 in the W-E-C.
(LE MARS) -- Spirit Lake knocked Le Mars out of a share of first place in the Lakes Conference Wednesday night, splitting their doubleheader with the Bulldogs.

Le Mars is 14-and-8 for the season and 10-and-2 in the Lakes Conference. Storm Lake is now in sole possession of the Lakes Conference lead at 10-and-1.

Devin Groenhagen had three hits and two RBI's while Derek Bretey and Dylan Kneip collected two hits each. Gehlen improves to 11-and-12 for the season and 7-and-8 in the W-E-C.
FRIDAY RESULTS – July 1
Le Mars 6 Spencer 1
(SPENCER) – Senior pitcher Jordan Heidebrink tossed her first no-hitter of the season, allowing only four base runners to pitch Le Mars past Spencer 6-1 Friday night in Lakes Conference softball action at Spencer. Heidebrink had thrown three one-hitters this season before turning in the no-hit performance Friday. She walked two, hit a batter and the lone Bulldog error allowed the only run to score. Le Mars made at least four dazzling defensive plays behind Heidebrink to keep the no-hitter intact. Ashley Phelan and Emily Ellefson had two RBI's each for Le Mars. Ellefson drove in the Lady Bulldogs first run on a first inning ground out and added a solo homer to lead off the the seventh inning. Phelan's two-run single with two outs in the sixth inning extended a 3-1 lead to 5-1. Mary Kate Eckstaine and Molly Renken led a nine-hit attack with two hits each. Renken also drove in a run. The win was the fourth in a row for Le Mars as their record improves to 19-and-12 for the season and 9-and-3 in the Lakes Conference.
Le Mars 19 Spencer 10
(SPENCER) – For the second time this season Le Mars rallied from a big deficit to beat Spencer in Lakes Conference baseball. On June 13th Le Mars rallied from nine runs down to win 10-9. After spotting the Tigers a 5-0 lead in the first inning Friday night, the Bulldogs battled back to win 19-10. Le Mars trailed 10-7 going into the sixth inning but broke loose for nine runs in the sixth and three more in the seventh to power their way to a Lakes Conference victory, keeping their title hopes alive. Chris Eckstaine's two-run double tied the score in the sixth and a pair of bases-loaded walks put the Bulldogs in front to stay. Kendall Candor added a two-run single to extend the lead to 14-10. Judd Herzberg belted a three-run homer and Mike Ahlers added a solo shot to keep the Bulldogs close early in the game. Jeremy Bohlke led a 14-hit attack with three hits while Austin Homan, Chris Eckstaine, Mike Ahlers and Hunter Rowe added two hits each. Zach Reuter went the distance for the Bulldogs, giving up eleven hits. The victory improves Le Mars to 11-and-2 in the Lakes Conference and 15-and-8 for the season.
SATURDAY SCHEDULE – July 2
Bishop Heelan 19 Le Mars 12
(LE MARS) -- Illinois recruit, David Kerian keyed a five-run sixth inning with a grand slam to rally Bishop Heelan to a 19-12 non-conference baseball win over Le Mars Saturday afternoon at the Bulldog Complex. Kerian finished with three hits and six RBI's. The Crusaders took advantage of ten walks and two hit-batsman to overcome a 10-9 deficit after four innings. Mike Ahlers had three hits, including a home run for Le Mars. Ahlers finished with four runs scored and two RBI's on the day. Paul Jacobson had a three-run homer for Heelan. The loss drops the Bulldogs to 15-and-9 for the season while Bishop Heelan improves to 24-and-9. The two teams meet again in less than two weeks in the 3A Districts in Le Mars.

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant says he will call lawmakers into special session to deal with a project in what he calls the state's "auto corridor."
The Commercial Appeal reports Bryant talked about the special session Monday in Oxford.
Bryant says he's trying to determine the starting date, and he expects to have news later this week about the project.
Bryant spokesman Mick Bullock confirmed the governor's remarks to The Associated Press.
It's not unusual for Mississippi governors to call lawmakers into special session to consider incentives for big economic development projects.
Some lawmakers have said they expect this session to deal with an automotive supplier near West Point.
Mississippi has two automotive manufacturers, Nissan near Canton and Toyota near Blue Springs.

Testimony :: Hon. Christopher H. Smith
Co-Chairman - Helsinki Commission
First I want to congratulate you Senator Campbell as the new Chairman of the Helslinki Commission, and commend you for holding today's hearing on Kosovo and the region. Senator, I am confident that as Chairman you will be – in the Helsinki tradition – a champion of human rights.
Like so many of our hearings, the topic of the Commission's hearing today is very timely. The Commission has held numerous hearings over the years which have focused on Kosovo and, again, we find the issues and challenges facing the people of the region on the front page of the news.
Kosovo is receiving much attention right now because of the situation in southern Serbia and, most recently, in Macedonia. Mr. Chairman, I think it is important to go on record, as many have, in condemning the violence which now threatens Macedonia. Violence is not an acceptable means for addressing grievances, even when those grievances may be legitimate. In the past, the Helsinki Commission has raised concerns regarding minority issues, such as education and citizenship, with Macedonian authorities. Certainly progress has been made in Macedonia, and those avenues for achieving additional progress still exist. But, I am particularly concerned that continued violence by Albanian militants can only threaten those avenues. At the same time, I join those in calling upon the Macedonian authorities to utilize restraint and to abide by the rule of law in enforcing the law. Basic issues of citizenship and non-discrimination require a principled approach by all sides. Violence is not the means to a just end.
Among the issues relating to Kosovo, those which cause so much suffering are of greatest concern to me. There are many missing persons – Serbs, Albanians and others – and surviving friends and relatives wonder about their fate. Hundreds of Kosovar Albanians wrongfully languish in Serbian prisons, losing precious time in their lives, not to mention the denial of personal freedom. Members of minorities in Kosovo do not know what their future or that of their children will be. The situation in and around Kosovo encourages the trafficking of enslaved women in the region's horrific and booming sex trade.
I am also concerned about the future of Kosovo. Democratic development must proceed. The holding of elections, the operation of the free media, the creation of a functioning economy, and the establishment of institutions to respond to people's needs are all critical.
Mr. Chairman, I hope that our panel will shed some light on what is being done in response to these volatile issues. What progress have existing efforts yielded and what are the prospects for the future in the region, including a description of what the United States and the international community can do to foster constructive change and the rooting of democracy?

Rebekah Brooks, the News International chief will be staying on in her role despite mounting calls for her to step down.
The embattled executive told around 200 staff at the News of the World who are expected to lose their jobs that the company would try to find them new roles within News International.
In a letter to staff leaked on Friday she wrote: "The company will focus over the coming months on finding as many jobs as possible for the News of the World staff both within News International and the wider company".
A Comres poll of 2,028 people commissioned by Five News earlier in the week showed that 75% of people believe Brooks should leave her role as a result of the phone hacking scandal, which will see the News of the World publish its final edition on Sunday.
Angry staff staff at the paper are calling for her resignation while other commentators are also adding pressure.
The phone hacking scandal deepened on Friday when Andy Coulson, former News of the World editor and ex-spin doctor for David Cameron, the prime minister, was arrested in central London.
Clive Goodman, former royal editor at News of the World, was also been arrested for the second time in connection with the phone hacking scandal. He was jailed for four months in 2007 after he pleaded guilty to intercepting phone messages.
Reports have suggested that a further three former employees could be arrested over the scandal in the coming days.
Coulson was detained at 10:30am on Friday in South London by detectives investigating allegations of phone hacking and officers in charge of a corruption inquiry.
"Officers from Operation Weeting together with officers from Operation Elveden arrested a man on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications, contrary to Section1(1) Criminal Law Act 1977 and on suspicion of corruption allegations contrary to Section 1 of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1906," Scotland Yard said in a statement.
He was later released on bail until October, police said.
David Cameron, who employed Coulson as his media adviser, has come under fire for his decision. He defended the move at a press conference but said that Rebekah Brooks should have stepped down over the allegations.
The News of the World publishes its final edition on Sunday after James Murdoch, chairman of publishers News International, said the 168-year history of Britain's best-selling newspaper would come to an end.
Advertisers had deserted the News of the World in droves and police revealed 4,000 people may have had their phones hacked by the tabloid. The Royal British Legion dropped the News of the World as its campaigning partner and expressed "revulsion" at allegations that war widows' phones may have been hacked.
Murdoch, the son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch, pulled the plug on the paper after claims that it paid private investigators to illegally intercept the voicemail messages of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler, bereaved military families and relatives of 7/7 bombing victims. It also stands accused of paying thousands of pounds illegally to corrupt police officers.
He tells the Politics Show that no one from the Guardian, the paper who exposed the scandal, said there were more revelations to come or he would have demanded the police investigate.
It's a sense, this 1930s chicago element of this, that all these people, including the Prime Minister, were so frightened of Murdoch either because of his political power, or frightened because they'd wake up one morning and find something in the papers their wife wouldn't like.
I worry about Dave Cameron because he seems to be getting all of this wrong.
He should stand up now and say 'I've told Rupert Murdoch, do not embarrass me by pursuing this application because the British public will not have it. Instead of which he doesn't, fumbles around. He's lost ground.After all those times having happy little drinkies with Rebekah Brooks the Prime Minister owes it to all of us to raise his game.
"It's a new era, and politicians have a duty to speak out for the public."
|@ ChrisBryantMP : It is inconceivable that Yates cd remain. He misled parliament - and when I called him on it, threatened to sue. and who paid his lawyers?
The BBC reports
Transport Secretary Philip Hammond on Sky stresses that Ofcom "at any time" can intervene on the basis of fitness and properness of News International to buy out BSkyB.
"The position for this week is clear, I think, if there's a debate and vote in the House of Commons, I will be suggesting to my colleagues that we as a party, a party that's never been close to Murdoch, never been in this inner loop, I think we should make clear that we think there should be a postponement of the decision.
There shouldn't be a decision while the police investigations are going on, and we should let the police investigations run their course.
And can I add I don't think it's only the News of the World, if the judicial inquiry does it's full work, which will be in the frame of what the information commissioner made clear in 2006, that many titles, owned by many different people, and other titles owned by News International which have been guilty, not just of hacking but of other offences. And I think that now is the time we bring all of that up."
|@ camillalong : Do we think Chris Huhne's suggestion that the ST is involved in hacking is anything to do with our 3+ damaging stories about his driving?
He tells Sky that he "got messages through to all the three party leaders" about the extent of revelations to follow.
He says he will suggest to his colleagues to "make clear" that there should be a postponement of the BSkyB merger. He also says he thinks other titles have been guilty of hacking and "other offences".
They write:
LAST week the News of the World was the subject of some ferocious and, at times, hysterical attacks on its credibility, integrity and journalistic standards.
The onslaught was led by a series of reports in the Guardian newspaper and hastily followed by the BBC, Sky News, and ITN.
The essence of their campaign was that members of our staff have engaged in a widespread and unlawful conspiracy to access "thousands" of mobile phones.
However, as Andy Hayman - a former Assistant Commissioner at Scotland Yard, who headed an exhaustive nine-month inquiry into our journalistic conduct - says today: "My recollection is different."
He adds: "As I recall the list of those targeted, which was put together from records kept by Glen Mulcaire, ran to several hundred names."Of these," writes Hayman, "there was a small number - perhaps a handful - where there was evidence that the phones had actually been tampered with."
Read the full thing here and let us know what you think in the comments.
Asked if he was warned off attacking Murdoch, he says people were "not very keen" for him to say what he said about Rebekah Brooks.
"We didn't have any standing to object to it... The reality is there were very serious risks to be run there", he said.
"I think the truth is that both Labour and the Conservatives over many years have had an extremely cosy relationship with the Murdoch press," he continued.
|@ IsabelHardman : Scary point by @frasernels that in America, when papers shut, the readers just stop buying papers rather than finding a new one.
Associate editor of The News Of The World Harry Scott holds up a copy of a mocked-up front page staff were given.
This is the Mail on Sunday's intriguing report on the hacking scandal, and efforts to silence MP Tom Watson, who helped expose the scandal:
Tony Blair urged Gordon Brown to persuade the Labour MP who led the campaign to expose News of the World phone-hacking to back off, friends of Mr Brown said last night.
But Tony Blair's office have denied the claims, tweeting that the Mail on Sunday's story is "totally untrue... never happened".
Only 9% of people think tabloids are fair and accurate in their reporting, according to YouGov polling.
The worst is yet to come for Rupert Murdoch.
It's not just me that thinks it – his disgraced chief executive Rebekah Brooks told her staff the same thing.
Murdoch's henchmen have shocked the nation to the very core. And until someone at the top at Wapping carries the can, the anger of parents up and down the country will continue to grow.
Writing in the Observer, he says:
There are plenty of issues that NI still has to clear up. I still don't understand, for instance, how a company can suddenly come across thousands of invoices and emails detailing payments to police officers in June, when Brooks expressly wrote to the home affairs select committee in April that although she had said in 2003 that she had paid police officers for information, "[her] intention was simply to comment generally on the widely held belief that payments had been made in the past to police officers". In April, she maintained that she had no "knowledge of any specific cases", but now the company had handed over evidence of £130,00 of payments. So where was this evidence? And why wasn't it found a year ago? Or five years ago?
The last-ever NOTW editorial is online:
We praised high standards, we demanded high standards but, as we are now only too painfully aware, for a period of a few years up to 2006 some who worked for us, or in our name, fell shamefully short of those standards.
Quite simply, we lost our way. Phones were hacked, and for that this newspaper is truly sorry.
There is no justification for this appalling wrong-doing.
No justification for the pain caused to victims, nor for the deep stain it has left on a great history.
Yet when this outrage has been atoned, we hope history will eventually judge us on all our years.
The staff of this paper, to a man and woman, are people of skill, dedication, honour and integrity bearing the pain for the past misdeeds of a few others.
And as a small step on the long road to making some amends, all profits from the sale of this final edition will be split equally between three charities: Barnardo's, the Forces Children's Trust, and military projects at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Charity.
Meanwhile, we welcome and support the Prime Minister's two public inquiries, one into the police handling of the case and another into the ethics and standards of the Press.
But we do not agree that the Press Complaints Commission should be disbanded. Self-regulation does work. But the current make-up of the PCC doesn't work. It needs more powers and more resources. We do not need government legislation.
That would be a disaster for our democracy and for a free Press.
But most of all, on this historic day, after 8,674 editions we'll miss YOU, our 7.5 million readers.
You've been our life. We've made you laugh, made you cry, made your jaw drop in amazement, informed you, enthralled you and enraged you.
You have been our family, and for years we have been yours, visiting every weekend.
Thank you for your support. We'll miss you more than words can express.
|@ jameschappers : As if this can't get more surreal, Cameron meeting Hugh Grant on Monday to discuss Murdoch and phone hacking. Watergate meets Love Actually
Labour will use Wednesday's Opposition Day debate to try and halt News Corp's takeover of BSkyB until the criminal investigation is over, The Huffington Post has learned. They will table a motion this week and say they are confident of getting cross party support.
Labour believe that the assurances provided by News Corp and Rupert Murdoch are unreliable, and say they now have grounds upon which to try to halt the deal.
A labour source said "we are incredulous that David Cameron thinks he can press on with this takeover or have an NHS style delay. He shows no sign of understanding the breadth of this crisis or the depth of public anger".
The staff of the NOTW are being led out of their offices in Wapping by editor Colin Myler to face the gathered journalists.
Here's what he had to say:
"It's not a record of any editor to want to close a title. Of course I didn't close it. I want to pay tribute to this wonderful team of people here who after a really difficult day have produced a brilliantly professional way a wonderful newspaper."
He added: "As I said to the staff this morning this is not where we wanted to be or deserved to be, but as a final tribute to 7.5 million readers this is for you and for the staff. Thank you. And now in the best traditions of Fleet St., we're going to the pub."

Scotland Yard Assistant Commissioner John Yates has told the Sunday Telegraph that his decision not to reopen an investigation into News International was "a pretty crap one" and said that he felt deeply sorry.
In an astonishingly frank interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Yates said that News International had launched an "industrial scale" cover-up of its phone hacking and added that Scotland Yard had been "very damaged" by its failures.
"I have regrettably said the initial inquiry was a success. Clearly now that looks very different."

In extenuating circumstances, a student may petition for academic bankruptcy for one semester or for an entire summer session. Academic bankruptcy is never granted for an academic term in which the student is currently enrolled, nor for the previous academic term. After a student has been in a division for two academic terms, the division has the authority to grant academic bankruptcy for an academic term in which the student was enrolled in another division. The semester for which a student is requesting academic bankruptcy must show a performance markedly different from the student's academic performance in all other semesters of enrollment at the University. The reasons for which the student is filing for academic bankruptcy must be extenuating, and they must be proved clearly and unquestionably in order for bankruptcy to be granted. Such circumstances must be beyond the control of the student and not due to a lack of interest or self-discipline on the student's part. The burden of proof is entirely on the student. Verifiable documentation of the extenuating circumstances, such as letters from medical doctors, must be submitted with the petition. Academic bankruptcy may be granted only once to a student. When academic bankruptcy is approved for a semester, all courses, including any that were passed, are removed from the student's record for that semester. Academic bankruptcy petitions are approved through Engineering Student Services located in 112 H. M. Comer Hall.
The minimal recommended high-school preparation for programs in the College of Engineering is outlined on p. 14 of this catalog. When additional courses can be taken, students are encouraged to exceed these minimal recommendations by completing further courses in mathematics and physics.
Entering freshmen may enroll in specific degree programs, or they may enroll as undesignated engineering students. During the freshman year, each student should select the specific degree program to be pursued; the choice should be made prior to the beginning of the sophomore year. Differences in students' abilities and in the degree of their preparation make it necessary for each student to begin work in chemistry, mathematics, and English at the level determined by the Testing and Data Management Services in cooperation with the departments of chemistry, English, and mathematics. Grade points earned in preparatory (remedial) courses are counted in the grade point average, but hours earned for such courses may not be applied to the requirements for a degree.
A student who has left The University of Alabama and enrolled at another institution, who upon leaving the University was eligible to return to the College of Engineering, may be readmitted to the College subject to the following:
- The student must earn a GPA of at least "C" at each institution attended in order to be eligible for readmission.
- If a GPA of less than "C" was earned at any institution attended, the student must secure approval for readmission from the associate dean for academic programs in the College of Engineering.
In order to be considered for readmission to the College of Engineering, students placed on indefinite academic suspension must attend another accredited institution and earn a GPA of at least "B" for a minimum of 12 semester hours of courses required in the student's curriculum. The courses must be either (a) required courses that the student has not yet attempted, or (b) required courses for which the student earned a grade of "D" or "F" on this campus.
- The student is expected to become familiar with all policies and procedures governing completion of the degree program in which he or she is registered.
- The student is expected to select and register for the courses required to satisfy degree requirements; this includes satisfying all prerequisite and corequisite requirements. The College of Engineering requires a grade of "C-" or higher in each course that serves as a prerequisite for any course in which a student enrolls for credit that will be applied to degree requirements. This policy applies to all courses in a curriculum, including all electives, that are part of degree requirements. If a grade of less than "C-" is received in a course that is a prerequisite for a course, the prerequisite course must be repeated, and a grade of "C-" or higher must be earned before a student enrolls in the subsequent course. Only two repeat attempts, or a total of three attempts, are allowed in an effort to obtain a grade of "C-" or higher. If a student fails to earn a grade of "C-" or higher after three attempts in a course that serves as a prerequisite for a required course, the student may not enroll in any curriculum having that course as a prerequisite for a required course. Some departments have more restrictive policies concerning the number of repeat attempts allowed. The associate dean may request an override from the vice president for Academic Affairs to permit continuance after consultation with the student and department head. This request will only be made in exceptional circumstances.
If a grade of "D" or "F" is received in a course that is a prerequisite for a course for which a student has registered, it is the student's responsibility to make the necessary schedule changes through the drop/add process. These changes should be made prior to the beginning of the next term, and they must be made before the deadline for adding courses. Failure to make the changes on time will result in administrative withdrawal from the course(s) whose prerequisite(s) the student has not fulfilled with a grade of "C-" or higher.
It is also the student's responsibility to ensure that corequisite course requirements are met before registration. A corequisite course may be taken either prior to or concurrently with the course for which it is a corequisite. Failure to meet these conditions will result in the student's administrative withdrawal from the course.
A student who is administratively withdrawn from a course after the deadline to add a course may not add a course to replace the course from which he or she was withdrawn.
- It is the student's responsibility to meet deadlines for advising, registration, dropping or adding courses, withdrawing from school, etc. Deadlines and drop/add instructions are published in the Schedule of Classes and Information Guide available each fall and spring semester.
- Students are responsible for paying fees as established by the Office of Student Receivables. There is a $10.00 fee per credit hour for all courses offered by the College of Engineering. The fee is used to purchase laboratory equipment and supplies. No other laboratory fees associated with specific courses are permitted in the College of Engineering.
- The student is expected to maintain an up-to-date mailing address with the Records Office, the Engineering Student Services office, and the departmental offices.
- The student is expected to respond promptly to all communications from all offices of The University of Alabama.
In addition to the general transfer requirements of The University of Alabama (see p. 15 in the undergraduate catalog), students transferring into the College of Engineering must meet the following additional requirements:
- Grades of "D" will not be admissible if the grade was earned in a course that is a prerequisite to another course required for the student's degree program.
- The student must have a cumulative grade point average equal to or greater than 2.0 for all work submitted at the time of transfer application.
For students not meeting the grade point requirement above, conditional admission to the College of Engineering is possible under the following circumstances:
- The student's application is reviewed and approved by the host program and the associate dean for academic programs.
- The student must earn a grade point average equal to or greater than 2.0 for the first 12 semester hours attempted at The University of Alabama immediately following conditional admission.
Failure to remove the grade point hour condition within the first 12 semester hours will result in the student being dropped from the host program.
In determining the transfer student's GPA for admission and other purposes, the College of Engineering counts each enrollment in a course as hours attempted. This policy applies even though repeat enrollments may not have been included in the computation of the GPA by the institution offering the courses. A student in the College of Engineering may not attempt any course more than three times without earning a grade of "C-" or higher, including temporary enrollments at other institutions. Courses classified as "institutional credit," "remedial," or "not applicable toward baccalaureate degree credit" are not ordinarily included in the computation.
It is the responsibility of transfer students to submit, if requested, course syllabi and college or university catalogs containing course descriptions from each institution attended to The University of Alabama, Engineering Student Services, Box 870200, Tuscaloosa, AL 35487-0200. It is the responsibility of transfer students who attended foreign institutions to see that their credentials are supported by syllabi for all courses, translated into English.
To be eligible for transfer to a College of Engineering degree program, a student may not have attempted any course more than three times and must have earned a grade of "C" or higher in the last attempt. If a student transfers to the College of Engineering from another University of Alabama academic division, all attempts at a course made prior to transferring are counted toward the three-attempt maximum. Students who have earned fewer than 45 semester hours may transfer to the College of Engineering if they satisfy the University of Alabama Scholastic Progress Standard (p. 22 of this catalog). A student who has earned 45 or more semester hours must have an overall grade average of at least 2.0 ("C") on a 4.0 scale, and an average of at least 2.0 ("C") on a 4.0 scale for a minimum of 12 semester hours at The University of Alabama.

I have come to this on and off for the past 3-4 years. I love the maps that I find here. I used to have a thing for drawing maps back when I was a kid, but medication kinda destroyed that outlet for me and it has been something that I have been struggling to regain ever since. I bought CC3 a while ago and gave up in frustration at the lack of any really good tutorials. The ones that seem to float around on the internet are dated and really don't seem to delve into the meat of what CC3 can do. I have a ton of world ideas that I want to try and bring to life.
Imagine if you will a world shrouded in one big never ending storm, the land a blasted ruined landscape. Whatever civilization still tries to survive on the surface does so under domed cities. However floating high above the swirling mass of clouds are huge continents, and five large floating cities, each representing a country that fled the surface. The skies are ripe for adventure, expansion, and exploration. Who or what occupied these once great landmasses? And what of those left on the surface?
This has been my campaign I idea for years, but I have never been able to create a world map for it. I figured CC3 would give me a heads up in the general direction but alas, that was not the case. So, I am hear to ask for help. I have looked though the pictures of works here, and was wondering if anyone had any good tutorials for CC3 or any good ideas to help me bring my world to life. With that I say this is a great community that until now, I have always been on the outside looking in, and now I have stepped though the door into a wonderful new world. So Hello!!!

Testimony :: Mr. Boris Kodjoe
- Actor
Chairman Hasting, thank you very much for inviting me to participate in this very important and timely hearing. I am pleased that you are focusing on the experience of Afro-descendants in Europe, as this is a story that has received little attention and yet, is certainly a profound part of my own and the continents' history.
Growing up in a small town in Germany over thirty years ago, the situation was quite different than today. While my family and I may have been atypical for Germany at that time, we certainly did not feel unwanted. In this regard, my story may differ from others. There were no neo-Nazis parading through our town or far-right parties such as the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD) brandishing anti-migrant posters or calling for persons who looked like me to be thrown out of the country. We were proud to be Black, German, and everything else that embodies being a Kodjoe. It was that foundation that was also critical to a small town boy becoming a world famous actor and owner of the global fashion company Ziami.
However, major events in world history such as September 11th have certainly in their wake also highlighted a more negative side to all of our societies. As a product of different cultures, and now the father of multi-cultural children – German and American, our emphasis must be on finding the similarities that unite, instead of divide us. This is the reason I have in the past been active in helping youth learn to embrace and benefit from cultural diversity and fight racism and ignorance. In this regard, I have also noted the efforts of the "Initiative Schwarze Deutsche" or the "Initiative of Black Germans." Having lived in Europe, Canada, and the US, the countries of the OSCE region have much to learn from one another. I see this hearing as a major opportunity to solidify transatlantic linkages and look forward to continuing to work with the Helsinki Commission in this fight.
Chairman Hastings, it is my understanding that you are preparing legislation related to this issue. Please consider me an early supporter of these efforts.
On behalf of my family and myself, thank you.

Born Kathleen Denise Quinlan on Nov. 19, 1954 in Pasadena, CA to parents, Robert, a local sportscaster, and Josephine. Quinlan was raised in the town of Mill Valley. Although she suffered from allergy-induced asthma as a child, Quinlan overcame the condition by maintaining an active lifestyle as a gymnast, scuba diver and surfer while attending Tamalpais High School. While still a teen, she made her first screen appearance, albeit uncredited, as Trish Van Devere's double in a diving scene from the romantic drama "One is a Lonely Number" (1972).

Dear Ship Family Member,
Early last October, the university provided information to you regarding a sexual assault that was reported to have occurred on campus in the area near Old Main Drive and Old Main Circle.
Immediately upon receiving the information, University Police began an investigation. All information at that time was shared with Pennsylvania State Police, Shippensburg Borough Police, and other municipal and university police agencies in the region as part of the investigation.
We also provided the information to off-campus media outlets in an effort to encourage anyone with pertinent information to contact police to aid in the investigation.
That information was also shared with the Cumberland County District Attorney's Office. This was done to ensure that all investigative avenues were explored and to solicit the assistance of the agency that would ultimately be tasked with prosecution of any identified suspect. University Police have remained in close contact with the District Attorney's office since that time.
Since then, the investigation has continued and all information we obtained has been thoroughly examined, investigated and recorded. During the course of the investigation, University Police uncovered many inconsistencies that raised questions about the accuracy of the report. On April 15, 2009, we received a letter from the District Attorney's office informing us that they have closed their investigation. The letter said that the office has determined that the matter is not appropriate for criminal prosecution at this time.
When we initially announced the report, there were some expressions of concern about safety on campus. I assure everyone that the safety and security of all members of the campus community, especially our students, are and always will be a top priority, and that commitment will not change. We are fortunate to have a cadre of state-certified and dedicated police officers who truly understand and accept their responsibility to serve and protect the campus. In addition, we continue to enhance our safety procedures with placement of new surveillance cameras and other appropriate measures.
I want to let you know of this development before the semester ended, and to reaffirm our commitment to your safety.

Syracuse, NY (Sports Network) - Syracuse faced its most familiar opponent on
Sunday and came away with its customary lopsided win.
James Southerland poured in 18 points to lead the sixth-ranked Orange in an
87-51 rout of Colgate at the Carrier Dome.
Brandon Triche added 15 points and Michael Carter-Williams dished out a
career-high 13 assists for Syracuse (4-0), which faced Colgate for the 165th
time and posted its 47th straight win over its nearby Central New York rival.
The Orange also extended their home winning streak to 25 straight games, the
longest in the history of the Carrier Dome, which opened in 1980. Syracuse
hasn't lost at home since a 64-56 setback to Georgetown on Feb. 9, 2011.
Murphy Burnatowski, John Brandenburg and Pat Moore each scored eight points to
lead Colgate (3-4), which had a two-game win streak stopped. The Raiders
haven't beaten Syracuse since 1962 and haven't lost by single-digits since a
73-65 decision in November 2000.

It was a fairly seamless upgrade, one of the easier upgrades I've done recently.
5.0.14 was running and stable on CentOS 5.3
I updated CentOS, and managed to get it all patched up.
I downloaded the 6.0.4, and ran the install.sh script, with the flag to ignore the platform.
The whole process took about 20 minutes, and it's now running very well.
It made me smile.

I have a question. (stupid one maybe ).
I installed Fedora 4 on my mini mac. It works fine.
I just wanted to install Zimbra on it. However, the FC3 binary fails.
The install log says that ZImbra is intended for i386 (PC) architecture.
Is there a way of making Zimbra work on a PPC architecture?
Maybe by taking the source code and compiling it?
