On April 17, 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the drug Ragwitek to treat ragweed pollen-induced hay fever (allergic rhinitis) in adults. Ragweed pollen allergies are very common in Connecticut and can cause sneezing, runny or itchy nose, stuffy or congested nose, or itchy and watery eyes. Ragwitek was designed to decrease sensitivity to ragweed and lead to lasting relief from the symptoms of ragweed-induced hay fever. Treatment with Ragwitek is started 12 weeks before the start of ragweed pollen season and continued throughout the season. "The approval of Ragwitek offers millions of adults living with ragweed pollen allergies in the United States an alternative to allergy shots to help manage their disease," said Karen Midthun, M.D. of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.
The efficacy of Ragwitek in the treatment of ragweed pollen-induced hay fever was evaluated in two double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials in adults (18–50 years of age). Participants in the studies received Ragwitek or placebo for approximately 12 weeks prior to the start of the ragweed pollen season and throughout the ragweed pollen season. The participant population was 86% White, 9% African American, and 3% Asian and was almost equally divided between males and females. During treatment for one ragweed pollen season, participants who received Ragwitek experienced approximately a 26% reduction in symptoms and the need for medications compared to those who received a placebo.
Ragweed pollen is one of the most common seasonal allergens and is prevalent during the late summer and early fall months in most of the United States. Ragweed pollen-induced allergies are generally managed by avoiding the allergen, medications to relieve symptoms, or with immunotherapy (i.e., allergy shots). Ragwitek is a new immunotherapy; unlike allergy shots, it is administered as tablets under the tongue (sublingual). The tablets contain an extract from short ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) pollen, which is known to elicit allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. These sublingual tablets work by desensitizing the immune system to ragweed. The body responds to the allergen in the sublingual tablets (in this case, the extracts of ragweed pollen) by developing immunity or tolerance to the allergen.

ORONO, Maine -- University of Maine freshman forward Steven Swavely (Reading, Pa.) was named the Hockey East Pro Ambitions Rookie of the Week on Monday. It was the first weekly honors announced by the conference this season.
Swavely scored just 3:41 into the season-opener against Quinnipiac on Saturday, Oct. 6. His older brother, Jon, won the face-off back to him to pick up the lone assist on the goal.
Swavely becomes the first Black Bear to tally a goal in his collegiate debut since Adam Shemansky (Robbinsville, N.J.) accomplished the feat to open the 2009 campaign.
Swavely and the Black Bears travel to Kansas City, Mo. this week for the 2012 Ice Breaker Tournament. Maine faces Notre Dame on Friday at 7 PM eastern time.

Harlem Development: A 21st Century Harlem Renaissance?
Vibrant, historic, sprawling, frustrating: Harlem, whether east, west, or central, has long been one of our favorite neighborhoods-to-watch. Despite popular misconceptions, Harlem is not homogeneous. In fact, Harlem (including East Harlem) is the single largest neighborhood in Manhattan, and as such has a wide range of housing, restaurants, entertainment, etc. And prior to the economic downturn, Harlem development was on a roll, with new condos and rental apartments, stores, hotels, office buildings and more being planned and built.
Speaking of, the housing stock–especially, of course, in areas like Strivers Row and Sugar Hill–is often beautiful. Transportation to points south, for work or play, is more convenient than you'd expect; the retail, restaurant, and nightlife options have only been getting better and better; and the price (both for sale and rent) for Harlem apartments–and the space you get for that price–remains attractive. Two bits of news of this week only added to our general Harlem boosterism.
The first involves the long-discussed retro-fitting of the residential housing complex Lenox Terrace in Central Harlem, a proposal to turn one of those neighborhood-busting "superblocks" that planners favored during the Urban Renewal years into a strong community. The plan, by architects at Davis Brody Bond Aedas, would include a number of contemporary-looking glass rental towers of varying heights.
The plan includes plenty of new street-level storefronts which, in addition to providing services to the residents, also help to illuminate the sidewalks at night; below-ground parking and grassy fields where empty lots now sit. The concept is similar to ones being successfully implemented in other parts of Manhattan, recently and notably with the Columbus Square complex in the West 90s, but so far zoning issues (the towers are bit too high) have put the proposal on hold. Fingers crossed here at Urban Edge that they get it together soon.
In other Harlem development news, two long-vacant properties along the neighborhood's world-famous 125th Street have finally been purchased by private developers: the one-time Taystee Bakery site between Amsterdam and Morningside Avenues will become CREATE @ Harlem Green, a 328,000-square-foot office and industrial complex designed to entice creative companies and small manufacturers; and the landmark Corn Exchange building near Park Avenue (above) will be renovated, gain six floors (for a total of 31,000 square feet), the whole thing turned into office and retail space. Granted, neither of these grand-sounding commercial spaces will be used for Harlem apartments for rent, but they certainly will attract always-welcome jobs and money to the neighborhood.
These projects, along with others recently announced, point to the continuation of a 21st century Harlem Renaissance, this one being driven by development.

Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
From our July 1 issue: Three-Dimensional...
Scil Proteins established a business development operation in California to address increasing demand for the firm's protein production services in North America. The new organization, headed by Garry Merry, will provide local business support for Scil's U.S. and Canadian contract manufacturing clients. The firm's corporate headquarters in Germany will continue to support its Affilin® drug discovery platform, which is available for outlicensing to the biotech and pharma industries.
Scil Proteins operates two business units, Scil Proteins Production and Scil Proteins Pharma. The production business provides full up- and downstream process development for the manufacturing of recombinant proteins in microbial expression systems. Non-GMP process development and premanufacturing services cover the production of pilot batches from research grade to IND grade. The firm has GMP manufacturing capacity to produce quantities of API for clinical development through to market supply.
Scil Proteins Pharma is exploiting its Affilin® drug discovery platform both through licensing deals and through in-house therapeutic development programs, primarily in the fields of inflammation and oncology. Affilin therapeutics are based in the small human serum protein ubiquitin, which is modified through the addition of amino acids at specified sites. Libraries of Affinlin molecules are screened against specified targets, and leads optimized through maturation approaches and fully characterized. The firm claims the resulting molecules bind targets with high affinity and specificity, while demonstrating a low immunogenic potential.

Peter Murphy
By Justine Thompson
Event diary
23 February 2010 14:32
International Showjumper and event trainer Peter Murphy will lead this years British Horse Society National Spring Coaching Convention. There will be two opportunities to see Peter as the Convention will be spread over two dates – at Merrist Wood, Guildford, Surrey on 13 April and Blackdyke Farm Riding Centre, Cumbria on 11 May. Peter has been involved in riding and competing from an early age and his first international success was in 1983 as part of the gold medal winning Junior European Team.

What were you smoking in 1996? Back then, Amsterdam was the only place on Earth where four guys could kick back in a bar, lay 30 different strains on the table, order a pitcher of beer and get down to the serious business of judging marijuana. It was my first Cannabis Cup – not to mention my first attempt to wade through a judge's kit – and I was lucky to have with me three of my best friends, Chef RA, Frank Max and Bobby Belfiore. Many of these strains are long gone, and my old buddy Chef RA has passed on to the Great Cannabis Kitchen in the Sky (rest in peace, brother) but this is what it was like to be a newbie judge, in the presence of trained professionals.
There's always a bit of confusion when trying to explain the process of marijuana appraisal to the unenlightened.
"How the hell are you going to judge weed when you're already stoned?" is usually the question you get. I'm a professional, I explain, and leave it at that. I pride myself on my herbicultural objectivity. We're not talking about kids doing gravity hits in their dorm rooms. This requires sophistication and subtlety. This is a job for adults.
My partners in this quest for herbal greatness are three equally qualified professionals, Lower East Side artist and scenemaker Bobby Belfiore, HIGH TIMES Art Director Frank Max, and the inimitable, incorruptible cannabis culinary celebrity Chef RA.
As Bobby, Frank and I follow a cloaked and top-hatted RA through the cobblestone streets of Amsterdam, we discuss the essential ingredients of a proper judging atmosphere. The usual Amsterdam coffeeshop blasting techno to a packed house of inebriated tourists simply will not do. We need proper ambience – something cozy, familiar and yet nondistracting.
Our contest begins in an unassuming little place called (oddly enough) the High Time Café. The inside is none too special, but the beers are large (Amsterdam is plagued by small beer glasses) and they're playing reggae. And with Chef RA's special celebrity-judge bag containing about 30 different strains, what more do you need?
After RA draws up a chart whereby he can note the various qualities of the herb (color, fragrance, high and smokability being a few of the more important distinctions) we begin with the Big Bud. Our technique is not to smoke the entire joint. We pass it around anywhere between two and four times, depending on our first impressions, and the only joints that get smoked to the butt are those which distinguish themselves as being part of a superior breed, strains whose very existence is a monument to global herbology. All roaches are stored in what became known as "Chef RA's Box of Nasties." They will presumably be donated to some deserving charity upon our departure from the wonderful land of Amsterdam.
We all agree with RA that Big Bud is a "long-day weed," meaning you can smoke it before noon and still face the long day ahead of you. The opposite is, of course, the "short-day weed" which, when smoked, has the distinct quality of ending the possibility of any further productive activities until after your nap.
We toke up a bit of Silver Pearl, which Bobby describes as, "introspective stoner weed." It seems to negate the conversation a bit and send us sailing in four different directions. Next comes something called California Indica, which is not properly cured and refuses to stay lit. After several attempts, it gets an F. I don't care how big and juicy your bud is, if it won't smoke, what good is it?
A conversation about the proper medium for judging ensues. We are in agreement that the herb must be savored and this is best accomplished with the faithful joint. Pipes tend to blur the lines between various smokes, while a bong would simply be crass. It would be like trying to judge a fine wine by shotgunning half the bottle. Such techniques have their time and place but not inside the professional arena.
Soon we are halfway into a joint of AK-47 that has us all wrapped up in fits of laughter. This is the first really fine smoke of the day. A wonderful sativa. There's an effervescence to its physical effects, as if your blood has suddenly and inexplicably been replaced with champagne. And true to its name, it started us all on an uproarious anit-hippie rant. Truly a "militant" strain, this is what I call, "the Kent State of weeds."
"The AK takes no prisoners!" RA exclaims.
A change in venues is in order and we leave the High Time Café in favor of Rookies, our preferred drinking and smoking establishment. Once our Heinekens are restored, we move on to the orange-haired Kali Mist, Frank's personal favorite. He builds us up with promises of a fine, musky taste, which, when we smoke it, seems to Bobby more like liver and onions. Frank seems a little disappointed too, claiming it's not the same Kali Mist he'd had the day before.
In an effort to get things back on track, Frank rolls up what he calls, "the Minderaser," a grab-bag mix of thee kinds of hash and several kinds of bud. True to its name, I find it very hard to hold a thought or form a sentence under the influence of this dubious joint. It leaves us all feeling slightly stupid.
"It erases everything down to one, solid, marshmallow head," Frank explains, and though I have to agree, I'm not sure that's where I want to be. Supertramp's "Logical Song," starts playing and further disrupts the vibe. For some reason unbeknownst to me the Dutch seem to love Supertramp.
"Where's that AK?" RA suddenly demands. "I gotta kill some thoughts!" The AK is delivered and saves us from the ambiguities of the Minderaser high.
No sooner do we rescue ourselves from the Minderaser than some obnoxious middle-aged geek comes up to us and asks if we're from HIGH TIMES, and then barrages us with an endless stream of self-promotion. I watch as RA's face turns from its usually cheery demeanor to one racked with pain and stress. I mean, would you disturb Michelangelo while he was painting? Or Thomas Edison while he was tinkering with the light bulb?
We try and remove ourselves from his conversation by burying our heads in our work. RA hands me something called Juicy Fruit to roll up. This is a prime example of the Amsterdam bait-and-switch approach to growing. Many Amsterdam growers will pile chemical fertilizers into their plants in order to get this truly amazing-looking and -smelling bud that smokes like you're sucking on the exhaust pipe of a Chevy van. "Smoke not, want not," Bobby says.
Just before the afternoon becomes a permanent bum trip, we roll up something called Silver Haze. This is a fine strain which rivals the AK-47. It has the AK's same "effervescence," mixed with a contemplative head. "A fine bouquet," RA declares and suddenly everything is back in order. New Heinekens are placed in front of us and the geek guy seems like a distant memory.
Hendrix comes on with, "The Wind Cries Mary," and we each take a moment to meditate on just how lucky we are to be in Amsterdam judging some of the finest cannabis in the world at someone else's expense. We're professionals all right, and part of being a professional is knowing when your objectivity has been compromised. It's time to suspend judging and soak in Europe's beautiful sights, sounds and beers. "Check out the hugeness of the vibe," Bobby says, and as I sit back and take a much-deserved break, I can only agree.
Want to judge at the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam? Get your judge's pass today. The 26th HIGH TIMES Cannabis Cup takes place November 24-28, 2013.

"Blackstone" (APTN) was renewed for a 4th TV season with an 8 episode order 2014. "First Nations" fans can now watch the Canadian TV series in the United States over at the website called, "Hulu." The first three TV seasons are streaming online there. You have to be a member of "Hulu" to watch because the show is for mature audiences only.
"Blackstone" stars a dominant "first nations" aboriginal cast. Here are 8 characters, Carmen Moore (Leona Stoney), Eric Schweig (Andy Fraser), Steven Cree Molison (Daryl Fraser), Michelle Thrush (Gail Stoney), Nathaniel Arcand (Victor Merasty), Andrea Menard (Debbie Fraser), Trevor Duplessis (Greg Nepoose) & Justin Rain (Alan Fraser).
This is a rewind back to season 1, episode 8 called, "Push Pull Twist Turn" which aired on March 15, 2011. It opened with Alan Fraser waking up in his bed. His father is Andy the re-elected Band Chief. He goes to the bathroom to find his grandfather lying on the floor bleeding from the head.
Leona returns to Blackstone after she left behind her white boyfriend Chris. She goes up to Andy & gives her condolences over the death of his father. Alan tells his girlfriend Sheila that there will be a wake for his grand-dad. He is remorseful because no one in his family got along with him. Andy wants to know why Leona started programs down at the Band hall. He wants to stop her from building anything in his community.
Gail has gone back to her job as a hairdresser & she is planting a new garden in front of her home. She is singing a traditional Indian song as Cecil drives up. They talk about Andy & he tells her to speak up because a lot of "first nations" people never do. Andy dissolves the recreation committee & decides to scrap all of Leona's by-laws when she was Chief. He is a control freak, but Leona has better things to do than argue with him. Victor is upset with her for leaving the office. He wants her to fight back.
Leona's drug counseling group talks about the recent 8 "first nations" people who have died from drug or alcohol addictions. Gail shows up & sees Natalie's ghost sitting in the back of the room listening. Leona tells Alan he can come & talk to her whenever he wants. She feels bad for the death of his grandfather. Gail wants to be on the recreation committee, but is informed that Andy wants to dissolve it.
Carla is a high school teen who comes to see Leona. She wants to talk about her future & doing drugs doesn't look like it is working. Meanwhile, Andy's girlfriend stripper makes a pass at his brother Daryl. She wants $10,000 for her condo. Daryl says he likes to share with his brother.
Who will show up at the wake of Andy's father? Will Andy dissolve everything Leona started when she was band Chief? Will the recreation center be controlled by Andy & only him? You can watch "Push Pull Twist Turn" at Hulu.

Obama is starting to see that his vaunted "charm" and"persuasiveness" does not really work on totalitarians who can see right through him.
by Jonathan S. Tobin
There's some soul searching going on in the Obama administration as it ponders how they got sidelined in Egypt as the situation there got out of control in a spiral of violence. As the New York Times details in a post-mortem of U.S. policy, the administration went all out to persuade the military that had overthrown the Muslim Brotherhood to compromise and allow the Islamists to rejoin the government. Among other efforts to cajole them or to threaten aid cutoffs, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel made 17 often-lengthy phone calls to Egyptian General Abdul-Fattah el-Sisi trying to get him to make nice with the Brotherhood. They even sent two Republican senators—John McCain and Lindsey Graham—to continue the pressure in person in Cairo. And they're baffled as to why they were ignored as Sisi ordered police and troops to clear out the Brotherhood's armed camps in Cairo this week.
The easy answer to their questions is that unlike Sisi and the military, President Obama and his foreign policy-team continue to fail to understand that the conflict in Egypt is a zero-sum game. The choice there is between the military and the Brotherhood and the transformation of a key Arab country into an Islamist stronghold. This failure to comprehend the nature of the conflict has led inevitably to paralysis. This spectacle of American impotence is worrisome no matter what you think the U.S. should do about Egypt. But it's not unrelated to the administration's other foreign-policy failures that are piling up in the Middle East. Having failed to act decisively to try to avoid a far bigger bloodbath in Syria, and content to waste years on futile diplomacy on the Iranian nuclear threat while devoting disproportionate effort on reviving Israeli-Palestinian talks that have little chance to succeed, it's obvious that Egypt isn't the only venue where Obama has demonstrated his cluelessness. [……]
In Egypt, Obama's main problem is his lack of understanding of the threat that the Muslim Brotherhood poses to both the non-Islamist majority in that country as well as to the region. Having bought into the myth that the Brotherhood's rise in the aftermath of the fall of the Mubarak regime was an expression of democratic sentiment, it refused to see that if it was allowed to take power it would quickly move to destroy any opposition. The U.S. pressured the military to let Mohamed Morsi take office and then continued to urge them to stand aside as he proceeded to demonstrate that the Brotherhood had little interest in democracy. Even as 14 million people took to the streets to demand that Morsi step down, the president continued to preach restraint and then stood by in puzzlement when the military realized that this was probably their last chance to save their country. Even now, the administration seems stuck in the same mythical "Arab Spring" mindset that is predicated on the idea that a totalitarian movement like the Brotherhood is compatible with liberal democracy. Since they don't understand what led to the events of the last week, how can we expect the Obama team to put forward a coherent position on what happened and what may unfold in the days to come?
Obama came into office thinking that he could charm the Iranians into giving up their nuclear ambitions and that American pressure on Israel could magically create peace with the Palestinians. If problems arose elsewhere in the Middle East, he thought they would be easily resolved with bad guys like Bashar Assad conveniently leaving the stage because President Obama said he "must go." So as we now peruse the Middle East, we see an Iran that thinks it can go on fooling the West with a diplomatic process intended to stall talks until they can build a nuke while the United States invests precious time and energy on muscling Israel into making concessions to a Palestinian Authority that has no interest in ever signing a peace agreement. And Bashar Assad, with the help of his Iranian and Hezbollah allies, remains in power while winning a civil war that Obama could have spiked two years ago with a timely push.
While critics from both the left and right assail Obama's indecision that–as I noted on Friday–protects neither American interests nor values in Egypt, this is yet another symptom of an administration that remains besotted with the same preconceptions that it brought to Washington in 2009. While he laments his lack of good choices and the fact that America's ability to influence events is limited, it is the president's refusal to face facts about the Brotherhood and some of his other blind spots that is most to blame for the fact that he has left American foreign policy hanging in the wind at a decisive moment in history.

Letter from the Editor
Dear Reader,
I recall working for a search engine back in the early days of Internet search, before search was even an engine and was more like a giant index that people assembled manually by surfing around and checking out sites. I don't remember so much politics back then – not like now, where every extremest has a blog. Back then, you had to be at least a little bit of a techie even to have a website – or to even know about the web, for that matter. I remember running across lots of entrepreneurs with quirky, interesting products they seemed to have developed on their own. I emerged from that era with a new-found appreciation for how fuzzy the line is between what is patentable and what isn't. Along with these interesting, quirky products were some very abstract and conceptual "good ideas" or, in some cases, pretty ordinary ideas that someone out there was pretty sure he had invented.

After operating without an agreed contract for fire service for more than three months- the Town of Twisp and Okanogan County Fire District 6 have settled into the recently agreed on five year contract.
And, the Town of Twisp is planning ahead, and starting early in looking at the future plans regarding fire protection.
The Twisp Town Council discussed options at their meeting last week- and Mayor, Soo Ing Moody noted the new contract has a drop-out clause that Twisp is considering, opting instead to join forces with the district.
Annexation would require the issue to be put on the ballot for voter approval- a process that would start with public meetings.
The Twisp Town Council will meet again the 2nd Tuesday of this month- which is Tuesday, May 14th."CLICK HERE" for Audio

Schott, H; Schwendener, R (1996). Synthesis and structure-activity studies in vivo of liposomal phospholipid-N4-palmitoyl- and N4-hexadecyl-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine conjugates. Anti-Cancer Drug Design, 11(6):451-62.
Full text not available from this repository.
N4-Hexadecyl-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (hxd4araC), a new cytostatic derivative of the antileukemic drug 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (araC), was linked in gram-scale syntheses to phospholipids containing differently substituted glycerol residues. All phospholipid-araC conjugates which were condensed via a phosphotriester linkage were shown to be ineffective in the in vivo treatment of L1210 murine leukemia. The transformation of the triesters into phosphodiester-linked conjugates by cleavage of the 2-chlorophenyl protecting group resulted in conjugates which were highly active against L1210 leukemia. These conjugates form stable liposomes with matrix lipids which exert antileukemic effects depending on the number and characteristics of the lipophilic residues of the conjugates. By treatment of L1210 leukemic mice with 100 mumol/kg body wt as total dose given by i.p. injection on days 2 and 6 after tumor inoculation with liposomal hxd4araC or 1-O-octadecyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphoryl-(3-->5')-1- beta-D-arabino-furanosylcytosine (Ocd1GroP-araC) the fraction of 60-day survivors was 100%. Corresponding curative effects were observed after treatment with 200 mumol/kg of 1,2-O-dipalmitoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphoryl-(3-->5')-N4-palmitoyl-1-beta- D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (Pam1pam2GroP-pam4araC); 1,2-O-dioctadecyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphoryl- (3-->5')-N4-palmitoyl-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (Ocd1ocd2GroP-pam4araC) or 1-O-octadecyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphoryl-(3-->5')-hxd4araC (Ocd1GroP-hxd4araC). Four other conjugates with differently combined palmitoyl-, octadecyl- and hexadecyl residues were significantly less active or inactive. A distinct relationship between the chemical structures and the antileukemic activity of the nine investigated compounds was not found.

Sound Installation - Tunnel and Room55, V&A South Kensington
Audio Architecture work again with Sub Jam following the previously incomplete project for Dashanzi International Arts Festival in 2007. This time Yan Jun and Ruan Qianrui worked with Experimenter En Couleur and Christian Krupa on an installation called 'Local Whispers'. This multi-faceted collaboration was first exhibited at the V&A Museum on the 27-28th February 2011. The experience involves natural and everyday sounds in an environment of silent moving image and physical objects captured and collected from China and the UK.
'Local Whispers' relates to human perception, the freedom of the imagination and the unreliability of human recollection. The first 'Local Whispers' installation was specifically arranged for the V&A's British Galleries Study Room 55 and to work with Cornelia Parker's 'Breathless' and the gallery above. Headphones lifted by white balloons play found sounds below Cornelia's dark cloud of squashed instruments and are restrained by physical objects. The visitors are invited to explore both sounds and the related objects, using the sound to set the immediate surroundings and object as a catalyst for the imagination. Through the circular gallery above the piece, rays of light augment the walls below with suggestive imagery fragmented by shadows.
Top and above: Main Local Whispers Installation in V&A Room 55. Photos: V&A.
Also exhibited were graphic image with sound, a series of posters representing Chinese cultural events, by Ruan Qianrui and improvised calligraphy by Ruan and Experimenter En Couleur, relating to the sounds and objects in Room 55. The calligraphy breaks free from its fixed traditional form to imply further meaning and emotions.

Well if you're going to make a dramatic about face from total dismissal of cloud computing, this is a relatively credible way to do it. Following up on its announcement of a serious cloud future at Oracle Open World 2011, the company delivered new cloud services with some credibility at this last week's show. It's a strategy with laser focus on selling to Oracle's own installed base and all guns aimed at Salesforce.com. While the promise from last year was a homegrown cloud strategy, most of this year's execution has been bought. The strategy is essentially to deliver enterprise-class applications and middleware any way you want it - on-premise, hosted and managed or true cloud. A quick look at where they are and how they got here:
* A real Software as a Service portfolio now - On the SaaS front, nearly all of Oracle's new announcements were the integration of its myriad SaaS acquisitions in 2011-2012 - social sites, business intelligence, marketing services, etc. They are basically filling out a portfolio of SaaS services that include its Oracle Fusion Applications. So now, what about the legacy applications - when will they move these to SaaS? Customers shouldn't wait around for Oracle to migrate its older, on-premise applications to the cloud; there's no clear roadmap for that to happen. What Forrester clients should count on, are new generation SaaS applications that eventually will replace the on-premise predecessors. Oracle's fast path to SaaS is through M&A, so despite the remarks from Oracle's CFO Safra Catz last week, Oracle clearly isn't done buying its way into the cloud space. Not by a long shot.
* OnDemand is not cloud...or is it? - You could have made a drinking game out of all the Oracle spokepeople's slipups when they talked about the portfolio of managed services called OnDemand - oops, I mean Oracle Cloud Services. Despite the official line from Oracle being that OnDemand is not part of the Oracle Cloud Services family, that wasn't clearly communicated across all the session speakers. Several speakers from the OnDemand team, kept using the cloud and OnDemand terms interchangeably. Don't be fooled by this. There are security, control, agility and most definitely cost differences between the three modes of hosting (see chart below). If Oracle sets up and manages an Oracle implementation specifically for you on isolated resources with a unique configuration, you're paying more for that and are likely locked in for multiple years. You won't get pay-per-use, auto-scaling, fast feature enhancements or self-service. But then again, many of you don't really want that. Ellison is right when he says that customers want the choice of SaaS versus managed hosting versus on-premise. And he's right that he can offer all three choices on the same common infrastructure layer. Just know going in that there are many, many differences between all the services being marketed as cloud, and you should know which deployment choice you want before talking with Oracle.

Montville — State Republicans on Friday nominated Lori Hopkins-Cavanagh, a real estate broker who ran for New London mayor in 2011, to represent Connecticut's 2nd District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
"She has charisma. She has vision. She has smarts. She's a little bit brazen," said Mary Ann Turner of Enfield, who nominated Hopkins-Cavanagh, adding, "She's focused and she's passionate and she's on the point."
Hopkins-Cavanagh received the majority of delegates' votes at the Republican convention at Mohegan Sun, beating out nominees Evan Evans and Dan Reale.
Speakers at the convention focused on the ability of Hopkins-Cavanagh and Evans to beat four-term incumbent Democrat Joe Courtney, who was nominated Wednesday for a fifth term.
Evans, who is from Colchester, received 30.5 percent of the vote. He was nominated by Tom Banish of Madison, who called Evans the Republicans' best chance at beating Courtney.
"Who better to confront the mythical relationship Joe Courtney has with the military?" asked Banish, who highlighted Evans' role as a major in the National Guard and history of military service overseas.
Republican convention rules state that candidates who receive at least 15 percent of the votes can force a primary, but Evans declined to do so.
"This has never been about me," he said. "This is about beating Joe Courtney and changing things in Washington."
Reale received four votes.
In addition to her experience as a real estate broker, Hopkins-Cavanagh produces and hosts a radio show that airs in Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York. She established her first business, an advertising and public relations firm, at age 25.
Turner insisted that Hopkins-Cavanagh, who spoke to the Enfield Republican Committee and "grabbed us by the throat," would be a strong contender against Courtney.
"You can be a good guy," said Turner, referencing former state Sen. Edith Prague's remark about Courtney, "but what we need is (a) can-do girl."
"Lori can win our hearts and Lori can win in November," she added. Her speech, the most fiery of the 2nd District convention — it contained a reminder that "you have to pick yourself up by your bootstraps and that's why we're Republicans" — received the most applause and audience reaction of the night.
Hopkins-Cavanagh said she plans to fight to improve the state's economy, claiming that college graduates are stocking Wal-Mart shelves and "ma and pa are closing shop."
Courtney is a friend to big business, said Hopkins-Cavanagh in her acceptance speech, but he's "not such a great friend to the average Joe."
"Of all the congressional districts in Connecticut, the second is most likely to turn from blue to red," she added. "Tomorrow we begin the journey to bring Joe (Courtney) home for good."
Republicans also nominated Mark Greenberg to run for the 5th Congressional District, former state Sen. Dan Debicella to run for the 4th District, Jim Brown for the 3rd District and Matt Corey for the 1st District.
"Party unity is critical to success, and I'm thrilled that these candidates will leave here with a strong tailwind of support that will point them to victory," said state Republican party Chairman Jerry Labriola said. "Connecticut residents can't afford another two years under these Democrats who have shown they believe taxation and regulation are the path to prosperity."
The Republicans will continue their convention today, when they will nominate candidates for statewide offices.

If you are looking to read the further adventures of "The Gunslingin' Guardian of the Galaxy," look no further than the "Rocket Raccoon" series from Marvel Comics written and drawn by Skottie Young with dazzling colors by Jean-François Beaulieu. Young and Beaulieu capture all the charm and humor of Rocket while also giving the fast-talking raccoon a multi-faceted story to sink his teeth into. The comic book reads like a classic Saturday morning cartoon with big, loud, spectacular scenes and settings that expound upon the movie's break-out hero.
Young gets right to it with a story that spotlights Rocket's charms. While on a date at a wrestling match he gets identified for crimes he is not even sure he committed. Sure he has murdered before but those were "accounted for and justified." This is a whole new ballgame that may mean Rocket is being framed and calls into question whether or not he is the last of his kind, as he is more than happy to say, repeatedly.
On top of that, Rocket's past romantic dealings may be coming back to bite him in the tail. Young is throwing a lot of plots and subplots into the mix over the course of the first two issues that makes for a deeper story that also shows just how much hot water Rocket is in.
Young's use of the multiple plots and multiple threats to Rocket allow for the writer/illustrator to enact the master-strategist aspect of Rocket's personality. To get himself out of the frying pan Rocket knows he must first jump into the fire and it is all part of his plan, he just does not share the plan with anyone else.
An exciting, accessible story like the one Young has written would be enough, but to make this comic book a must read is his stunning artwork. Young's illustrations evoke that classic cartoon feel where the heroes were not pristine but got down and dirty in their environments. Through the art Young conveys the humor and the excitement of Rocket. The character is expressive with big sharp-toothed grins and gaping open mouthed shots that show the characters shocked and awed moments.
Young also gets to play around with the relationship between Rocket and Groot as the walking tree gets to play the role of Rocket's muscle and sidekick in the story.
When they were looking to spin the furriest character from the "Guardians of the Galaxy" into his own series, Marvel Comics had no choice but to have Young tackle "Rocket Raccoon." Young is the award winning cartoonist and illustrator who worked on the New York Times Best-Selling "Oz" series for Marvel. His style screams fun and he delivers it in this series. Young's artwork is only enhanced by the big and bright work of Beaulieu who makes the colors an integral part of the story.
The first two issues of "Rocket Raccoon" are available now both digitally and at your local comic book retailer.

ON the night she disappeared Saints steward Paula Poolton argued with her secret lover accused of her murder when he said he couldn't see her, a court heard.
In his witness interview with police when Paula was still missing Roger Kearney told detectives that he last spoke to her on the telephone hours before she disappeared.
Winchester Crown Court heard that he had been "upset" when he had told her that he couldn't go and view houses with her during the next week because he was on holiday with his partner.
In his witness interviews read out by Prosecutor Iain Wicks Kearney said: "She was a bit peeved about that because she was nervous.
"She said well basically if you wanted to see me you would make the effort.
"She got a bit upset and then said well I understand.
"I understand that you wanted to see me."
The court also heard more intimate details about the couple's affair and how they used to meet three or four times a week In his interview to police Kearney said how his relationship with 40-year-old Paula grew into something more.
He said they would meet at the Solent Hotel Gym in Whitely both for a workout separately, meet up after in the sauna or jacuzzi then sit outside in his car afterwards for a "kiss and a cuddle".
The court was also told they often met at her home in Course Park Crescent, Titchfield which she shared with her husband of three-years.
Kearney said: "I felt guilty. I was a bit uncomfortable there I must admit."
During the police interview on October 24, 2008 Kearney also said how he felt "sick" over Paula's disappearance he said "I think something's happened I don't know, I don't know, I knew somebody who disappeared before so I think something's happened."
Kearney, 57, of Painswick Close, Sarisbury Green denies killing Paula, who was found stabbed to death in the boot of her car in Duncan Road, Park Gate in October 2008. Proceeding.

Gulf Publishing, Houston, Texas, sponsored recently the annual forum on gas to liquid technology. The Conference was held from July 30th to July 31, at the Norris Conference Center in Houston. Sometimes people make the mistake of saying that gas to liquid (GTL) means something like turning natural gas into liquid methane. WRONG. It actually means converting gas into liquid fuel, like gasoline.
The conference had an interesting cross-section of presenters. Primarily the speakers were from the big oil companies like Exxon-Mobil, or independent inventors with a product to push, or a small startup running mostly on venture capital (see slide show).
Most of the technology is based on an ancient practice called Fischer–Tropsch. Yet I left the forum a bit bewildered: if the USA has so much available technology for turning natural gas into gasoline, then why is the USA sending all that shale gas to flare? That is free gas going up in smoke that could be used to lower gasoline prices and electricity bills, not to mention that all this flaring is polluting the air and creating more green house gases like CO2.
People tell me that it's ok to flare methane because its clean burning. WRONG. The shale gas flaring can be seen from outer space. If methane is burning cleanly, you can't see the flame. It's when you can see the flame, that burning is not clean.

Cee Lo Green was a great coach on "The Voice" and he just didn't last on the show. He decided that it was time to move on and do something else. On Thursday, Reality TV World shared the news that Cee Lo is finally speaking out about why he left the show. He will not be returning in the upcoming season.
He spoke out to US Weekly about it all and fans were a bit surprised why he left. Cee Lo said, ""It easily and quickly became a job," Very, very obligating... Taxing and tiring... I still tip my hat to Adam and Blake and those guys who continuously do it, but I think I ran my course there just naturally."
It sounds like Ce Lo Green had fun with it at first but then it became too much work. His friend Adam Levine is the one who actually got him interested in the show. He said, "He called and said, 'Hey man, there's this new show 'The Voice' and I don't really know what it's going to be about, and I don't really want to do any more kind of music shows -- do you think it's cool? If you do it, I'll do it. If you don't do it, I won't do it." The show did great with Ce Lo but they have already done a few seasons without him. Usher sat in as a coach along with Shakira and fans loved them.
The upcoming season will have a new panel of coaches and it should be interesting to watch. Adam Levine and Blake Shelton are returning to "The Voice" again. They have both been on there every single season and are fan favorites. Now Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams will be joining the show. It should make for an interesting season on "The Voice" when it returns this fall.

Programming Python, 4th Edition, is an excellent book for intermediate Python users (developers or scripters) who are working primarily with Python 3. The author assumes a knowledge of Python fundamentals and a willingness to consult the available Python documentation. This is not a reference book, but more of an extended tutorial, despite its massive pagecount (1500+).
This would not be a suitable text from which to learn Python – you should have some experience actually using the language, else the topics discussed will likely not be of interest or value.
Given the size and breadth of the text, of course not every chapter will be equally appealing to all readers. For instance, since my Python work involves primarily console scripts, the coverage of subtleties with the current working directory, subprocess module and threading was of great interest to me, while the tkinter chapters on GUI programming rated a quick skim. Overall I was pleased with the fact that I was learning something from each chapter that either I had not known or hadn't thought about in the context presented.
I was slightly disappointed in the database and SQL chapters, as they are relatively generic and were perhaps the only sections of the book which didn't impart new knowledge.
