Idenix Pharmaceuticals plans to raise $51.268 million by selling 18.31 million shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $2.80 per share as well as $5 million in common stock to its largest shareholder. Novartis, in a separate private placement.
Proceeds will be used toward various purposes including R&D expenses related to Idenix' nucleoside/nucleotide and other discovery programs, working capital, capital expenditures, and potential acquisitions of new businesses, technologies, or products that complement its business.
In releasing its fourth quarter and full-year 2010 results on Feb. 28, the company said it is "pursuing multiple follow-on and novel nucleoside/tide programs." Idenix develops drugs for the treatment of human viral and other infectious diseases, building on expertise in nucleoside chemistry and other small molecule chemistry and biology. The company is now focused on the treatment of HCV infections, after previously discovering and developing antivirals for treating HBV and HIV/AIDS.
On the HIV/AIDS front, Idenix said last November it was receiving $20 million from ViiV Healthcare for achieving a clinical milestone relating to GSK2248761 ('761), a compound ViiV is testing in a Phase IIb trial. But just three months later in February, ViiV told Idenix '761 was placed on clinical hold by the FDA. ViiV has full responsibility for the development of '761, including any regulatory interactions.
Novartis owns 43% of Idenix shares, according to the April 7 supplement to a prospectus filed October 17, 2008. Assuming the public offering is priced at $3.21 per share, the closing price for Idenix shares as of April 6, Novartis would purchase 1,557,632 shares in the private placement, the supplement stated.
Shares of Idenix closed at $3.24 per share Thursday, then dipped 26 cents a share in premarket trading, to $2.98 a share. Over the past year, the per-share price of Idenix has ranged from $2.57 to $6.11.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is acting as sole book-running manager and underwriter for the public offering. Idenix has granted J.P. Morgan Securities a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,746,500 shares to cover over-allotments if any.

Dean Jeffries' "The Black Beauty" (And Some Others)
From a little out-of-the-way building somewhere between Hollywood and Burbank, California, comes the work of one of the best custom automotive builders in history.
Mr. Dean Jeffries was born not far away, in Compton, Calif., the mecca of custom car design; presently he operates Jeffries Auto Styling. His career started with automotive pinstriping, and one of his first notable car modifications was to paint "Little Bastard" on James Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder.
Race car owner and promoter J.C. Agajanian hired Dean to stripe cars, and took him to the 1952 Indy 500. Mobil Oil hired him to paint race cars, and he would also paint and stripe helmets of racers such as Jim Rathmann, Parnelli Jones, and A.J. Foyt. He also worked with Carroll Shelby on the Cobra, and gained fame for painting flames on cars.
Today, some of us TV addicts can remember "The Green Hornet," a short-lived 1966/1967 TV show about a comic book crime fighter, played by Van Williams. His trusty chauffeur and karate-wielding bodyguard Kato was none other than a young martial-arts legend named Bruce Lee.
Of course, what's a chauffeur without a limousine, so The Black Beauty was built by Mr. Jeffries. Originally a 1966 Chrysler Imperial, the lines of this car are timeless and look clean and fresh today. The car had many "extra features," but those green headlight covers still arrest my eyes every time I look at them.
The car was stored in Britt Reid's garage, who was The Green Hornet's alter ego in everyday life, just as Clark Kent is to Superman. To keep it hidden from the general public, the car spun on its roll axis and was concealed under the floor. My cousin always said that this was impossible, as a carburetor could not be stored upside-down and expected to work at the turn of a key. But maybe valves would shut off any fluids entering or leaving the intake manifold. Who knows--after all, this is Hollywood, anything is possible.
Coming in January, 2011, "The Green Hornet" hits the big screen. The producers, writers, and staff were smart enough to retain the '66 Imperial's good looks for the movie, though many real vintage Imperials gave their all for the film. From the movie trailer, it looks like some of the "extra features" of the car have been both retained and updated.
The Black Beauty was not the only famous vehicle to come out of Mr. Jeffries' shop. We all remember these:
♫ Hey, Hey, We're the Monkees! ♫ If you're old enough to remember that song opening a zany musical/comedy show in 1966, then you'll surely remember their hip cruising machine, The Monkeemobile.
We have all heard the story that The Monkees could not play instruments or sing when they were first formed. But at least they all could drive.
Without today's emissions, bumper, and most current safety regulations, Mr. Jeffries was free to customize the car with very few constraints. Or, maybe I should say "cars." Two Monkeemobiles were originally built, one for the TV show, and one to tour, and the two were not exactly identical.
According to Wikipedia: "The Monkeemobile is a modified Pontiac GTO that was designed and built by designer Dean Jeffries for The Monkees, a pop-rock band and television program. The car features a tilted forward split two-piece windshield, a touring car T-bucket-type convertible top, modified rear quarter panels and front fenders, exaggerated tail lamps, set of four bucket seats with an extra third row bench where the rear deck should have been, and a parachute. The front grille sported the GTO emblem." And yes, I copied that right off the web.
Like so many other 1960s custom cars, the Monkeemobile was available in a 1/24th plastic kit for anybody to build, as was most everything else that Mr. Jeffires built. And why not? He was also a consultant and designer with AMT Models on many of their custom automotive kits.
"Holy impossible network executives' deadlines, BATMAN!" Ah, savor The Batmobile, maybe the most famous TV car of all time. George Barris seems to have received much of the media coverage and credit for this small screen icon, but Mr. Jeffries was actually building it. The rush to finish the car by yesterday's call time was overwhelming, Mr. Barris had the resources to get the project ready at warp speed, so it was turned over to him for completion.
Luckily, the Batmobile has enough ZOWIE!!! to get over its BIFF. Watching the car tumble and roll in heavy Bat-driving can make one dizzy, especially compared to the tighter suspensions of today's cars. And one of my favorite Bat-scenes was watching the Caped Crusaders perform the Bat-Turn, followed by rapid dispatch of the Batmobile Parachute Pick-Up Service van.
Speaking of warp speed, Mr. Jeffries designed more than just cars for TV shows. Starships are also on his resume, and he built the most famous one of them all, "Star Trek"'s USS Enterprise, NCC-1701.
The imaginary machine features pulsating warp drive nacelles, a saucer-shaped main hull, and a somewhat cylindrical-shaped engineering section. This craft has graced both large and small screens, as well as the desks and bookshelves of many of today's NASA engineers, astronauts, and Car Lust contributors.
Mr. Jeffries is also credited for building other vehicles for movies and TV shows, including "Damnation Alley," "Ark II," and "Space Academy." One of his vehicles has been used in multiple TV science fiction shows.
Our favorite Double-Naught Spy, James Bond, has also crossed paths with Mr. Jeffries. In "Diamonds Are Forever," Agent 007 decided to take Willard Whyte's Moon Buggy out for a spin, creating all the usual havok. This was 1971, right in the middle of our moon exploration program, and EON Productions needed a timely lunar surface roving vehicle, of course.
So Mr. Jeffries designed and built the vehicle, and did exactly what the producers asked him to do--he built a vehicle for a soundstage. Then the film crew got the bright idea of taking it outside into the desert for a chase scene. And not being designed for virtual moonscapes, it often broke down. In one scene you can see a wheel, now broken off of the moon buggy, roll past the camera--a rare blooper in a Bond movie.
The Moon Buggy was for sale recently. I would have loved to have it as a farm vehicle. No cow would have ever escaped me.
I don't know if or when I'll be in Los Angeles again, but I'm going to stop by this man's shop if I can. Actually I've driven by it a few times long ago and never knew it. Next time, I'll be ready, with camera in hand and a phaser set on "fun.".

There is big news out for "General Hospital" spoiler fans on March 12 via Soap Central. Long-time fan favorite Wally Kurth is returning to Port Charles.
The character of Ned Ashton has been off the canvas, other than a brief appearance in January 2013, for several years now. When will Kurth be back on the television screens of fans? That date hasn't been revealed yet, but Wally did tease fans via Twitter with the "General Hospital" spoiler tidbit that he's already filming.
Kurth wrote, "well, I had nice day in Port Charles yesterday. Yes, Ned will be arriving in town soon. Stay tuned. Thanks for waiting!" That definitely sounds like more than a one-day appearance, and fans can't wait to see how the character is brought back into the mix of things.
Wally Kurth first joined "General Hospital" was Ned in 1992. He was taken off-contract for what were termed storyline reasons in 2005. Kurth, of course, has also played Justin Kiriakis on-and-off over the years on "Days of Our Lives" as well.
Alexis already has one ex in town with Ric's return, and now Ned is heading to Port Charles too. What would you like to see the writers do with Ned when he returns? Tune in to "General Hospital" weekdays on ABC to see what happens next.

Yeah, I had to talk myself out of some rack effects. Eventide H8000FW certainly looked temping, but ridiculously expensive, and not even that convenient to use for live playing. I couldn't even figure out how that would work with a guitar and amp setup. You can plug a guitar directly into it, but the outputs all seem to be line-level, so I don't think I could plug it into an amp from there. It could go in the effects loop, but if I wanted the processing to hit before the preamp, that wouldn't help (and the line levels don't seem to match all amps anyway, since the unit works on +4db, but a lot of amps use -10db).
I don't even see how such an effect would be that useful in the studio, since you can only have two different effects going at once at the most. So you can't just have 16 tracks with different reverbs and delays all going - you'd have to record versions of all the tracks with the effects, then see how the mix is working after each track, and if you want to go back and change one, you'd have to start all over with it. Unless you have a bunch of these machines, I guess - then you could adjust everything in real time.
Plug-ins seem far more flexible and convenient this way, and I actually got curious as to how this was actually done in studios in the days when only rack hardware effects existed, but I couldn't seem to find anything written about it.

CALM. DOWN.February 12, 2011, 12am
This video is a great, brief visual reference for the creation of CHEESE. Which is what this blog is all about. Pleasant Ridge Reserve is also a delicious staple to know and love, and since this brief power presentation was made, the dairy has won lots of other awards. AND this farm came out with another cheese, the Rush Creek Reserve. Which is also totally delicious and badass.
So, get to know Uplands Cheese Company. And their cheeses. And this Youtube clip has totally inspired me to go put on a sweatsuit and run up some stairs, punching and flailing wildly into the air. GO TEAM.
K that's all. Something wordier will follow suit…/ No Comments

I've been complaining through the last few games that the Wings just haven't been getting enough bounces to go their way. I was pretty shocked at how little luck they'd had.
Tonight, they got some of those bounces I'd been complaining about but it still wasn't enough, Anaheim got a few of their own and that was all they needed.
The good news is that Detroit played a complete game tonight. For the first time in three games, the loss wasn't for lack of trying.
That doesn't change the final score, but it might say something about things to come. Mickey Redmond talks about how teams in the final games of a winning streak will win games they "should" lose, with the reverse also true.
Tonight's game looked a bit like that to me. Maybe not a game the Red Wings "should" have won but definitely one they could have.
I'd be a lot happier if it wasn't another game where the Wings have been unable to get a frikkin' bounce to go their way. Markov seems cursed right now.
A bounce! Holy sh*t, they got a bounce! Ilitch should buy those back boards and take them to all the arenas they play in for the rest of the trip.
Ugh, awful giveaway, bounced off Lebda. Even when they get a bounce, they've still got them going against them as well.
No excuse on the third goal, for once it didn't go off a Wing. This could get ugly pretty quick.
Another bounce! A series of them! Off the Duck, off Homer, in, and they still get another power play. Sweet!
Being the ref-hater that I am, I'd like to know why it's not a problem with them for Zetterberg to get flattened after a whistle, but I don't think getting that call would have saved the Wings. Another game where, while they got some good bounces for them, too many went against them.
Robert Lang seems to be struggling lately. He's been turning the puck over continuosly and hasn't been doing much offensively. I like him but he seems to play with no integrity. I think he would make a great trade prospect. Detroit really needs an enforcer willing to lay out hits and not let the wings get pushed around like they do.
Sadly, I'm starting to agree with the "Lang as trade bait" idea. He has had some huge turnovers in the last month or so. That said, I don't agree with ripping apart a team like the Wings, seeing that they will probably make the playoffs and will need all the help they can get there. I wouldn't trade him for an enforcer (they could call up Norton if they wanted one of those). The problem is that the kind of guys the Wings need won't be available for guys like Lang.

5 Fresh Paint Trends for Summer
From Dean Dowd on June 15, 2010 in Painting
If you've already freshened up your summer wardrobe, it's only fair that your home get the same star treatment. Revamp your digs with these fabulously loud paint colors so your surroundings can be just as stylish as you are.
#1 Fuscia Bright
Yes, I know that not everyone appreciates the color pink as much as I do, but the Fuchsia Bright shade from Pratt and Lambert makes every inch of this bathroom pop. No extra decorating needed here.
#2 Cook's Blue
While this family chose Farrow and Balls Cooks Blue paint to bring out the color in that great collection of plates shown above, this shade could lend a moonlight glow to any design scheme. Bold? Yes. Necessary? Absolutely.
#3 Gem Turquoise
Unusual colors tend to be hard to match, but this space shows that sometimes matching isnt always the goal. Use Behrs Gem Turquoise paint to achieve a similar look.
#4 Vintage Yellow
Yellow, while overbearing in large doses, works incredibly well to break up this breakfast nook. Try Gliddeans Vintage Yellow paint to make your room bright and cheery.
#5 Coral Glow
Think bold colors should be avoided in small spaces? Think again, my friends. After a few coats of Benjamin Moores Coral Glow, these cramped quarters really spring to life.
While summer may be fleeting, a few bold colors can keep your home bright all year long. Go for it. You both deserve a makeover.

The information below is correct as of April 6, 2012 when legislation changed in relation to Tenancy Deposits. To see the full changes click here.
Since 6th April 2007 all deposits taken by landlords must have been safeguarded by one of three Government approved schemes. Landlords can choose which scheme they wish to use and must safeguard each deposit and inform the tenant which scheme has been used within 30 days of receiving the deposit. The Government has awarded contracts to three companies to run its tenancy deposit schemes.
The tenant will pay the deposit to the landlord. The landlord will retain the deposit and pay a fee to the scheme. This is the difference from the custodial scheme as, under the custodial scheme, the deposit has to be paid over to the scheme administrator. Under the insurance scheme the landlord will be able to keep the deposit himself. At the end of the tenancy, if the landlord and tenant agree how the deposit should be divided, the landlord returns all or some of the deposit.
A comparison of the insurance based tenancy deposit schemes
DepositGuard is an exclusive service, only available to members of the Residential Landlords Association, providing unbeatable rates on deposit protection and allowing the landlord to hold onto the deposit. The scheme is administered by the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) - the longest standing, government approved tenancy deposit scheme.
Members can protect deposits up to £500 for just £13.20 and over £500 for £17.95 - making it by far the cheapest insurance based scheme in the market.
|You hold the deposit
|Free and instant online registration
|Full RLA Landlord Advice Team support
|Email reminders when your tenancy is ending
|Pay online with a credit/debit card
|Free access to ADR (Alternative dispute resolution)

The Tenancy Deposit Scheme offers insurance backed and custodial deposit protection schemes and a dispute resolution service, built on The Dispute Service organisation that has been running since 2003. The insured scheme allows landlords and agents to hold onto deposits. There is an annual fee per property for landlords and a one off annual fee for letting agents. It is really a scheme for agents.

The Deposit Protection Scheme is managed by Computershare. This is a Custodial Scheme in which you hand your entire deposit over, there is no charge to landlords as the scheme is funded by the interest earned from the deposits held in the scheme. DPS, since April 2013, now offer an insurance backed deposit protection service.

Capita, a new scheme from April 2013, operates an insurance backed deposit protection service. It also deals with any disputes which arise. This scheme allows landlords and agents to hold on to their deposits. There is a membership fee and a fee payable for registering each deposit.
However, from October 2013, Capita announced a statement stating that they were no longer taking new deposits. For further information, click here.
My Deposits (formerly Tenancy Deposits Solutions) operates an insurance backed deposit protection service. It also deals with any disputes which arise. This scheme allows landlords and agents to hold on to their deposits. There is a membership fee and a fee payable for registering each deposit.
For further information on mydeposits.co.uk or to register/submit a deposit, click here
The majority of landlords in the UK rarely encounter the need to hold onto some or all of the deposit, which poses the question "do you really need to take deposits?"
If you wish to avoid the cost and paperwork of entering any of the schemes, there are some suggestions on what can be done. To see these suggestions, click here
DepositGuard is an exclusive product for RLA members which allows you to protect your deposit and keep hold of it yourself and at a lower cost than the MyDeposits scheme. If you are not an RLA member, why not join today and take advantage of DepositGuard and a host of other benefits designed especially for landlords like you.

How to Prune Hybrid Roses
Bush roses include hybrid teas and floribundas, both of which need to be cut back hard each year to encourage new growth.
- Maintenance ,
- Roses ,
- Shrubs
Learn to Garden ,
Step 1: Trim Weak Shoots
Remove any shoots that are dead, diseased, weak, or crossing shoots from the center of the bush to leave an open symmetrical framework from which new shoots can arise.
Step 2: Prune Main Stems
Reduce the main stems to 8–12 in (20–30 cm) above the ground, cutting back to a healthy, outward-facing bud—hybrid tea roses respond well to drastic pruning. After a few weeks, new shoots will appear, eventually producing an abundance of blooms.

The Monuments Men: No buried treasureMovies
Reviewer rating:
Director: George Clooney, M, 118 minutes. Opens Thursday.
It's a given that nearly everyone loves the idea of George Clooney as the last of the old-fashioned Hollywood movie stars, dressed in a tuxedo and always ready with a quip. The problem is that Clooney's achievements as an actor, which have grown complex and rewarding with the likes of Michael Clayton and Up in the Air, have allowed him to pursue a career as a director, and it is increasingly clear he is not a great filmmaker.
The Monuments Men, a World War II adventure that is not very adventurous, is Clooney's fifth feature in a run of films that began promisingly, but has become increasingly problematic. It is not a complete failure, but, as in the 2011 political drama The Ides of March, a strong cast and arresting moments do not create anything sustainable.
Clooney and his regular collaborator, co-writer Grant Heslov, are attracted to fascinating material that they ultimately whittle down into something they believe is more palatable. The Ides of March was a pungent play, Farragut North, set solely among political operatives, but their adaptation added a new plot and characters, while 2009's The Men Who Stare at Goats, a Clooney and Heslov collaboration that the latter directed and the former was in, lost most of the deadpan madness that informed Jon Ronson's book.
The source material for The Monuments Men is Robert Edsel's 2009 non-fiction book of the same title. It followed a small group of American art historians, curators and experts trying to preserve buildings and recover the cultural treasure that had been stolen from museums and collections in occupied Europe by Germany's Nazi regime.
It is an assemble-a-team film, and Frank Stokes (Clooney), who commands the unit as Danny Ocean with a better library, literally says to his first recruit, curator James Granger (Matt Damon): ''I'm to put a team together.'' The film keeps touching on interesting material, but it feels the need to talk us through everything, instead of forging ahead, and creating an actual story as opposed to a plot.
The not-so-dirty half dozen is full of accomplished actors, including Bill Murray as an architect, John Goodman as a sculptor, Bob Balaban as a choreographer, Jean Dujardin as a French artist, and Hugh Bonneville as a disreputable British expert given a second chance. The parts are all loosely based on figures from Edsel's book, but even liberally reworked, they make the telling point that there are many ways to serve a cause you believe in.
The most interesting character is flinty Claire Simone (Cate Blanchett), a French museum staffer who positioned herself in the Nazis' looting program to keep track of France's stolen treasures. When approached by Granger, the boyish American to her European woman, she is initially worried that the Americans will keep the works. (Instead it was the Russians who kept all they confiscated.)
''I see you,'' Claire yells at an SS officer fleeing Paris with a train full of stolen works, and her desire to bear witness despite the risk to her life is one of several powerful themes the movie touches on.
Another is the growing realisation that Jewish collectors were treated particularly badly, which is followed by the grim discovery in one underground stash of a barrel full of gold teeth. But Clooney and Heslov fail to settle on a tone, or at least tie the contrasting moods together.
There are daring feats and moments of tragic loss, bursts of sentiment and droll back and forth between Murray and Balaban's characters, yet none of these experts ever talks about why they would give their life to save a Michelangelo sculpture or a Picasso. The film is wary of the subject it is about. Striving for emotional impact, Clooney overreaches. Goodbye letters posthumously recited are emotional enough without bloodstains on the page.
It is a bonus that the film is impressively assembled, starting with the richly crisp palette of cinematographer Phedon Papamichael.
In Edsel's book, a soldier describes the unit's leader George Stout, the basis of Clooney's Frank Stokes, as ''economical with words, precise, vivid. One believed what he said; one wanted to do what he proposed.'' That sums up George Clooney the actor, but not George Clooney the director.

"Literature masters the fourth dimension, where physics fears to tread."We've all craved to give up the world that we currently occupy in favor of the mesmerizing lives of new worlds. Which bookworm can deny that pull that emanates from a good piece of fiction; that tug from the depths of a captivating story, promising more than just a momentary escape from reality?
~ Editor-in-chief of the science magazine, Scientific American
This reality, that is; because there might just be more.
People all over the world believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. Us bibliophiles believe in something more. We believe in alternate realities. We get caught up in the adventures and distresses of fictional characters, we laugh and cry with our protagonists, and sometimes, we fall hopelessly in love with them. We believe that there are worlds housed inside books. When we see a bookstore or a library, we see possibilities. Like Alice in Wonderland, it's like falling down a rabbit-hole and finding oneself standing in a chamber with multiple doors, each leading to a parallel dimension where everything is different, one of which might just be the perfect fit.
The worlds offered to us by books might be as flawed, and as tragic as our own, but they still call out to us.
While scientists might debate for years to come about the existence of parallel universes and realities, literature has made that leap of faith long ago and provided us plenty of opportunities to visualize the fourth dimension. Over the years, a number of authors have attempted the same, almost all of them proffering different but equally compelling theories.
What makes the unknown realm of a parallel universe enticing is the fact that it's a blank void which a person can fill according to the extent of one's imagination. The question of what to expect if someday, you're pulled into a story is addressed by different authors in different ways.
Jasper Fforde, in his book The Eyre Affair, a part of a series entitled Thursday Next, has the protagonist as a Literary Detective. While she herself is part of a world where such a position exists, along with Dodos for pets, pagers, and werewolves and vampires as serial criminals; meta-theatricality is further employed as the plot deals with her entering the original text of Jane Eyre because Jane is kidnapped from the book. Fascination ensues when we get a much-coveted glimpse into the lives of the hero and heroine of the famous Charlotte Bronte novel. The concept here is on the lines of a play being enacted on stage. Jane and Rochester know what they're supposed to do, and their actions are more or less dictated by the original script. It seems that, in this world, the process of acting out the entire story is repeated infinitely. The world, too, is defined only to the extent that the author described it and nothing exists beyond the sights that Jane has seen or heard of, seeing as she is the narrator of the novel. The twist, however, is that we're shown that the Detective Thursday Next is the person responsible for the present plot of Jane Eyre. Before her interruption, the novel had an ending where Jane marries St. John Rivers. Thursday is the one who sets fire to the mansion, killing Bertha Mason in the process and bringing about the present conclusion to this Victorian Classic. All this happens because in this universe, meddling with the original manuscript of any text means changing the story, and along with it, the text of all the other copies that exist around the globe.
Cornelia Funke, with her Inkheart Trilogy, takes the concept to another level with a brilliant plot making every reader's wishes come true. There are certain people with 'silver tongues', she says, who can make wonders happen when they read aloud from books. The preliminary concept remains the same: each book has a world of its own. But, she expands on it to an extent where these worlds are complete and sufficient in themselves, which increases the quotient of wonder exponentially. The worlds inside each book are complex, dark, and dangerous. In spite of all this, the power it has on the protagonist, an eleven year-old girl Meggie, and her father, Mo, is incredible. Booklovers of the first order themselves, tragedy strikes them when Mo reads aloud from Inkheart, and unconscious of his talent, causes an exchange to take place. The villain of the story escapes to our world, while Mo's wife is sucked into the depths of the book in his place. After several attempts, Mo and Meggie, along with the author of Inkheart, succeed in following her to the Inkworld where everything is as enchanting as they had imagined. What follows is fantasy fiction with all sorts of princes, villains, people metamorphosing into animals, and magic. The point, however is that no one here knows of their fates according to the dictation of the book's plot. They live oblivious to the existence of an outer world, and have lives as complicated as our own; more intricate than what is apparent. The book's plot is a very small part of their stories. Any events that happen due to outside influence do not change the text of the book, and some characters even manage to escape their fated death due to the same. The conclusion of the series involves the protagonists staying back in the Inkworld, despite its imperfections, sorrows, and general dark nature. It makes one wonder if somewhere, in another world, there exist books depicting out own travails; thereby making our own lives scripted.
J.K. Rowling managed a coup with the Harry Potter series, where the magical world co-exists with the 'Muggle' world, silently and innocuously. Phillip Pullman, in His Dark Materials combines theology and philosophy when he uses this concept of a 'multiverse' and describes an elaborate process of splitting open the boundary between worlds using huge amounts of energy to create a bridge and subsequently travel between them. All worlds, he gives us, have a common underworld. C.S. Lewis, in Chronicles of Narnia, talks about all worlds having, in contrast, a common heaven. The children in the stories access the world of talking animals, Narnia, through a cupboard in the first book. Time machines, on the other hand, have been doing the necessary in H.G. Wells' books, which were one of the first to employ this theory.
Our intervention might change plotlines and cause havoc in literature. It might be possible that an alternate world exists which suits us better than the present one. It might take a while for us to get hold of the right Portkey, cupboard, time machine, manuscript, or rupture in the sky; but till that moment arrives, books will continue to tantalize. Escapism, daydreaming, fantasy; psychiatrists might call them undesirable symptoms, but why confine yourself to only one world when there's a possibility that a million others might exist out there?
As J.R.R. Tolkein, in his essay "On Fairy-Stories" says, "Fairy-stories may invent monsters that fly the air or dwell in the deep, but at least they do not try to escape from heaven or the sea."

Realtors Score a Win on Seller Financing
Jessica Holzer reports from Washington:
Most people write a check to a lender or mortgage servicer when they want to pay their mortgage. A tiny minority of borrowers, however, make their monthly payment directly to the person who sold them their home. A "seller carry-back," in industry jargon, may be an unusual way to finance a home sale, but it accounts for enough transactions that the National Association of Realtors lobbied to kill a provision in the financial-overhaul bill pending in Congress that would have put curbs on the practice.
The lobbying, for the most part, paid off.
The House-passed version of the bill would have required people to register as mortgage originators if, more than once over a three-year period, they finance a sale of property they own. The provision was written into the bill out of concern that unscrupulous businesses would try to get around new tough lending rules by financing real estate transactions themselves.
But this week, Sen. Christopher Dodd (D., Conn.) and Rep. Barney Frank (D., Mass.), who are the lead House and Senate negotiators working to finish the financial-overhaul legislation, agreed to relax the limitation on seller financing to three properties in one year.
While short of the full exclusion that Realtors were looking for, the new language makes it much easier for seller-financers to avoid registering as mortgage originators.
"We applaud Mr. Frank for a proposing a way to allow sound real estate transactions to come to closing," Lucien Salvant, NAR managing director of public affairs, said in an email.
Seller carry-backs, always rare, typically become more popular in tight credit markets when property owners may have difficulty finding a buyer who has access to a conventional loan. Instead of receiving the purchase price in a lump sum, the payments are strung out to the home seller over years.
According to a survey of their members by the California Association of Realtors, seller financing accounted for 1.3% of sales in that state last year, up from just 0.4% of sales in 2007. In 2008, they accounted for 1% of California home sales, the group says.
Mr. Salvant argued that seller financing often makes sense for real estate transactions in rural areas where mortgage credit is scarce.
The change must still be agreed to formally by the Senate lawmakers on the conference committee finalizing the financial-overhaul bill.

Jack McKeon explains why he didn't put a position player on the mound
Ugly loss for the Marlins tonight, 14-2 to the Phillies, who have now taken nine of 11 games in this season series.
Poor Brian Sanches. The journeyman reliever got left out there to throw 38 pitches in a six-run Phillies ninth. Sanches finished with 76 pitches in his three innings of work.
When he got back to the dugout, Sanches kicked his glove a few times and later fired it down the runway in understandable frustration. After the game, Sanches sat in silence, ice bag on his right shoulder, staring into his locker and declining comment.
Hey, after three months of solid work, the poor guy had just seen his ERA climb by more than a full run (from 3.02) in a single outing.
"I didn't want to see Sanches get crucified out there," Marlins manager Jack McKeon said.
But it happened just the same.
I asked McKeon if he considered going to a position player to finish out the ninth, and if so who that player might have been.
"I'm not into that," he said. "It's embarrassing when you have 13 pitchers on your staff and you have to put an infielder in there. Maybe if it was 18-2 or something."
McKeon said he and pitching coach Randy St. Claire didn't even have that conversation over which position player to insert. Saw Jim Leyland use young infielder Don Kelly on the mound the other day for the Tigers — the first time Leyland has done that since returning to the dugout in 2006 — and I'm still wondering who would draw that duty for the Marlins.
Emilio Bonifacio? Bryan Peterson? Greg Dobbs?
Scott Cousins probably would if he weren't injured. He was a standout lefty pitcher in college.
But now? It's not so clear.
Somebody might want to figure this out, however, since it might come up again.
"We either play real close games or we get blown out," McKeon said. "Tonight we got blown out."
Pretty sure Ross Gload, now a Phillies reserve, was the last Marlins position player to take the mound. He did so May 22, 2009 in a 15-2 home loss to the Rays, tossing a scoreless (two-walk) ninth on just 16 pitches.
That outing came less than a month after Cody Ross mopped up in a 13-2 home loss to the Phillies on April 26, tossing a scoreless ninth inning on just 19 pitches.
Raise your hand if you miss Cody.
By the way, McKeon said he talked on the phone to newly acquired Mike Cameron tonight.
"You ready?" McKeon said to a player he managed more than a decade ago in Cincinnati.
"I want to play," Cameron said.
"Get over here. You're in the lineup," McKeon said.
"Jack, I need some at-bats," came the answer.
Cameron will be in uniform and on the roster for Wednesday's series finale, but he will probably be eased into the mix after hitting .149 and getting designated last week in Boston.
"He's a good defensive outfielder," McKeon said. "He can still run a little bit. Got some power. Good guy. Real competitor. Good influence in the clubhouse. He'll give us a veteran presence. Probably be an asset."
Hmm. Wonder if he can pitch.

Sept. 20, 1999
LOS ANGELES - The No. 13 UCLA Bruins (5-1-0) host Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo (2-4-0) on Wednesday, Sept. 22 at 7:30 pm on Spaulding Field. Later this week, UCLA meets the San Diego State Aztecs (5-2-0) on Sunday, Sept. 26 for a 1 pm game at the UC San Diego soccer field.
UCLA vs. Cal Poly, SLO - The Mustangs own a 2-1 series advantage over the Bruins, however, last season UCLA defeated Cal Poly SLO 1-0 at home on a goal by midfielder Venus James. In 1998, the Mustangs posted a 9-6-3 record and finished third in the Big West Conference. They return nine starters from the '98 squad, including senior midfielder Kara Grondzik, who currently leads the Mustangs with 9 points (4g, 1a). Grondzik has started two of six games for the Mustangs and has scored on four of five attempts.
UCLA vs. San Diego State - Last year the Aztecs defeated the Bruins 1-0 on UCLA's North Athletic Field, but UCLA holds a 4-1-1 series record over San Diego State. The Aztecs are currently ouscoring opponents 18-7 and are led by senior Lori LaCoursiere, who has registered 11 points (4g, 3a) to date. In the '98 season, the Aztecs were undefeated in the Western Athletic Conference and took home the conference title.
Pac-10 Leaders - UCLA continues to lead the Pac-10 in overall standings. The Bruins are currently tied with USC, both schools having posted a 5-1-0 record on the season and having recorded their only loss to defending national champion Florida. Earlier this season in a preseason poll of conference coaches, the Bruins were selected as co-favorites, along with Stanford, to win the 1999 Pac-10 Conference title. Last year, UCLA, USC and California were Pac-10 Co-Champions.
Bruins Defeat UC Irvine - The Bruins defeated UC Irvine 2-0 in last Friday's home opener. Sophomore midfielder Lauren Emblem notched the first goal of her career when she blasted in a shot in the 62nd minute off an assist from freshman midfielder Tracey Winzen. Junior forward/midfielder Venus James scored the second goal of the evening in the 74th minute when she received a pass from sophomore defender Krista Boling, knocking the ball past Irvine goalkeeper Allison Merrick.
UCLA Honors - Last week, senior defender Skylar Little was named to Soccer America's Team of the Week for the week of Sept. 6-12. Little earned Tournament MVP honors at the Nike-Wake Forest Invitational after helping the Bruins post two shutout victories against North Carolina-Charlotte and then-ranked No. 25 Wake Forest. Against UNC-Charlotte, she was instrumental in the 7-0 victory, helping to limit the 49ers to only four shots on goal. Against host Wake Forest, Little led the UCLA defense to its third shutout of the season in the 1-0 victory, helping to limit the Deacs to only five shots on goal.
Adding to the team's honors, forward Jessica Winton was named MET-Rx/UCLA Student Athlete of the Week for the week of Sept. 6-12. In only her fourth collegiate game of the season, the freshman from Atlanta, GA recorded three goals versus UNCC in just 39 minutes of playing time. Winton is the only the second Bruin freshman to record a hat trick (Traci Arkenberg recorded the first in 1994).
Shutout Madness - UCLA's defense, led by Little, is once again one of the team's strongest areas. Last year, the Bruins posted a school record 11 shutouts and, judging from their start this season, they are well on their way to breaking another school shutout record. UCLA is currently on a four game shutout streak, and in their six games this season, the Bruins have limited opponents to only 22 shots on goal. The UCLA defense has given up only four goals this season, three of them coming from No. 3 Florida.
San Diego Action Continues - The Bruins continue play in San Diego when they head to the University of San Diego Tournament next week. On the first day of the tournament, the Bruins go head-to-head with soccer powerhouse No. 2 North Carolina at 8 pm on Friday, Oct.1. On Day Two, UCLA meets Texas Christian University on Sunday, Oct. 3 for a 2 pm match.

EUGENE, Ore. – The Oregon baseball team announced its 2011 team awards at the annual alumni game last Friday.
Check out the video and award winners:
Most Valuable Pitcher
The Most Valuable Pitcher award was shared by Tyler Anderson and Madison Boer. Anderson, selected in the first round of the 2011 First-Year Major League Baseball Draft by the Colorado Rockies, was a Louisville Slugger All-American and ABCA all-West Region selection. Anderson was also named to the Pac-10 All-Conference team for the second consecutive season after completing 2011 with an 8-3 record, 2.17 ERA and 114 strikeouts in 107 and 2/3 innings on the mound. For Anderson, it was his second year winning the award.
Boer received the honor after winning the Most Improved Player award following the 2010 season. A second-round pick of the Minnesota Twins in the 2011 MLB Draft, Boer managed a 2.27 ERA in 18 appearances, 12 starts and 99 innings of work while holding opposing batters to a .234 clip. Boer recorded a career-best 74 strikeouts in 2011, and finished his three-year UO career with eight saves.
Most Valuable Player
Pac-10 All-Conference selection Danny Pulfer was named the team's Most Valuable Player in 2011. Pulfer departed Oregon with a .302 career average, and holds the all-time records for hits (193), doubles (31), at-bats (639), games played (178) and multiple-hit games (58). Following his junior season, he was drafted by the Arizona Diamondback in the 19th round of the 2011 MLB Draft. In 2011, he led the Ducks batting .351 with 79 hits, 16 doubles, two triples and two home runs.
John Hammer Most Improved Player
Senior Kellen Moen was awarded the John Hammer Most Improved Player Award. After making just three appearances on the mound as a junior in 2010, Moen set a new Oregon record in 2011 with eight saves in a single season. Oregon's closer finished the year with a 3.05 ERA, and was named Pac-10 Honorable Mention.
Outstanding Offensive Player
Danny Pulfer
Outstanding Defensive Player
J.J. Altobelli was awarded the Outstanding Defensive Player award for the second consecutive year. As a sophomore in 2011, Alotbelli led the Ducks starting 59 games, mostly playing on the hot corner at third base. His quick glove totaled 147 assists and helped turn 20 double plays.
Outstanding Academic Achievement
During his sophomore season in 2011, Jack Marder was named to both the Capital One Academic All-District VIII Second Team and the 2011 Pac-10 All-Academic Second Team with a 3.35 GPA.
Most Improved Academic Achievement
Nick Wagner
Best Teammate & Team Captains
Scott McGough and Shawn Peterson received the Best Teammate award. A three-year reliever at Oregon, McGough compiled a career ERA of 3.33 in 135 and 1/3 innings tossed. His nine career saves rank second all time, while his 74 appearances on the mound are more than any other Duck in the history of the program. McGough was selected in the fifth round of the 2011 MLB Draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Peterson spent three years at Oregon as well, redshirting in 2009 before taking the field in 2010 and 2011 for his junior and senior seasons. The native of Eugene is one of only two players since Oregon baseball was reinstated to hit over .300 for his career. In two years, Peterson batted .324 (77-for-238) and drove in 36 runs with 16 doubles, one home run, a .403 slugging percentage and a .396 on-base percentage.

To all Harrison Residents and the Harrison Business Community:
Welcome to the Harrison Police Department. I am pleased to share the following information with you. During my tenure as your Chief, the Harrison Police Department has undertaken a number of initiatives to combat and reduce crime. We introduced Compstat, a nationally recognized crime fighting tool to combat and reduce crime in our community. We change our Patrol strategy to maximize our Police presence to prevent crime as well as to increase our response time to better serve and protect our community. We also expanded our School Resource Officer (SRO) program by assigning an additional police officer to Washington Middle School. Last year, we introduced the Gang, Resistance, Education and Training Program (G.R.E.A.T.) to the school curriculum. The GREAT program is similar to the popular Drug Awareness Resistance and Education (DARE) program in teaching our school children the dangers of youth violence and gang membership. Through these efforts we have reduced crime. This year we experienced a 19.1% reduction in crime from last year.
In the Harrison Police Department, we pride ourselves on providing our residents and businesses with strong and effective public safety services. Clearly, the value of feeling safe and secure in your home or business, neighborhood and community cannot be overestimated. While your Police Department shoulders the primary task of your protection and of anticipating and investigating criminal activity, we are stronger and more effective with your help. Prevention of crime is a cooperative effort and responsibility between you and your Police Department. We look to you, the residents and business members of Harrison to report crimes in progress and suspicious activity. If you see something, say something. Call 911 for emergencies and crimes in progress. Call (973) 483-4100 to report suspicious activity. You can remain anonymous. Together we can and will make a difference in making our community of Harrison the best and safest it can be.
Please take this opportunity to click on the Crime Prevention Message as well as the Crime Prevention Tips Link to see how you can better protect yourself your home and your business to make Harrison a safer place to live and work
In closing, my office is always open.

a little black cat says...
vet visit-when it rains, it sometimes monsoonsMay 18th 2013 8:50 am
[ Leave A Comment | 9 people already have ]
I will let Momma write this for me. See my new pics? I got big! My fur is getting longer like my mom-cat's is.
Leave A Comment | 9 people already have
Dear Felix & his mommy: We are so sorry to hear about the difficulties you are facing with Felix's legs. We are sure hoping the insurance covers it, as we know how difficult it is with expensive health issues (my mom is still paying off her credit card for Cody's illness 2 years ago that cost him 1 of his 9 lives). We are purring really, really hard for you to get all better very soon so you can be pain free and run around like a kitty should be able to do. Love from Raj, Cody & Harley & their mom
oh poor guy! He's lucky to have a good mommy though! We're purring for you guys.
Oh no poor Felix, we are purring and praying for you both, Felix for his surgery and you to have the strength to get through this.
We are here for you supporting you, a lot of catster Moms and Dads have asked for help in paying their kitties bills, don't hesitate to ask for help, we are here and we want to help if we can...that is what catster is all about...We know Felix means for much to you and you love him...so don't give up...
Sending you all of our love
Zeke, Mom Peggy and family
We are purring and purring for you Felix! Please keep us posted as to how you are. I hope the insurance pays for your surgery. If your mama didn't know about this condition until now, I would think they should pay.
Love and purrs,
Marmie and Family
Zeke is right, if this little black kitty needs help, we are here. Good luck and paws crossed.
Sending purrs and prayers to you and your family Felix. We hope the insurance covers your surgeries. Purring for you to have a speedy recovery.
Loving Purrs,
Miko & The "M" Crew
Sending you lotsa purrs!
Hi Mom Renee,
We understand about bills here-and we dnt' have insurance, we did for Smokie awhile back, but it seemed they didn't cover too much-and we were paying into it monthly. We might give it a go with Calvin and see if it pays off.
Keep checking to see if there is any sort of help for something like this-check out the 10th life fund, and also, there is a list of places that might be able to help out....if there is a teaching vet hospital, sometimes their charges are less, as well.
We're purring here-our hearts are with your little guy, he is such a wonderful little fellow and of course that would be why he'd feel more timid-pain can make them behave in different ways.
hugs and purrs for you,
the Ridgewood Clowder and mom Deb
Sending big purrs your way. You know us Catster Cats will dig into our savings pouches and share with you should you want it and the need arise. Also fund raisers are very popular here and could make the difference.

- Company: Etiqueta Negra Suit
- Price: $1,200
- Official Site: EtiquetaNegra.us
What do you get when you take two champion polo players from Argentina and one of the world's most famous race car drivers and ask them to start a clothing line? You get Etiqueta Negra. Etiqueta Negra is already one of the most popular brands in South America, but it has recently made the jump to the U.S. with its first store located on Lafayette St. in New York. The boutique features polo-inspired menswear that is effortlessly cool and equally timeless. Its suits have quickly made a splash with trend-seeking New Yorkers, especially when it was rumored that waiters both at neighboring hot spots Balthazar and Pravda would now be donning the finest that Etiqueta Negra has to offer. These suits are slim cut and brilliant.
Suits from Etiqueta Negra take a traditional Italian look and update it to reflect the stylistic meanderings of today's Argentina. Two buttons close the slim and snug coat and the pants come to a sharp taper at the cuff. While the suits from Etiqueta Negra are on the traditional side, many of the brand's other pieces are less conventional. However, you can tell a lot about a brand by the quality of its suits, and that is why we are so impressed with Etiqueta Negra. These are the types of suits that will never go out of style, the type that will give you decades of great wear either stateside at your job as a staff accountant or if you're in Buenos Aires doing your best Rubirosa.
Etiqueta Negra is using fine Italian threads for its suits -- 100% wool 120s to be exact. There is no question about the life of the suits from this creative Argentinean brand. In fact, we expect to see more of Etiqueta Negra in the U.S. in the coming months as buzz continues to build. We highly recommend you check out the polo and automotive-themed boutique in New York before the rest of the world catches on. Just so you know, the red 1938 Alpha Romeo that sits in the middle of the shop floor isn't for sale, we asked.

I'm looking to make my big move over to Surpass and was curious about how the DNS stuff works.
Currently I host my stuff on my own but I don't want to be burdened with updating my server and installing the most current stuff, and don't have time for it.
I'm just wondering, when I transfer my main domain over (along with our clients that we take care of), how does the nameserver stuff work here?
Can I still use my ns1.domainname.com (with all my subdomains)? Is that all the same here?
Sorry, if this is a silly question I just don't want it all to fall apart when I shut down my webserver/DNS.

Dathan Ritzenhein will not run the Boston Marathon, but Ryan Hall and Abdi Abdirahman will, according to a Boston Marathon press release.
In the statement, Ritzenhein said that injuries have prevented him from properly preparing for the race, which is set to take place on April 21.
"I am very disappointed to withdraw from this year's Boston Marathon," Ritzenhein said in the press release. "A groin injury this winter has kept me from doing the training it takes to run with the best in the world. April 21st will be a show of strength and community after last year's events and I wanted so badly to be part of that. But I am resilient and will be back."
Hall, who owns the fastest American marathon time in history, said he's excited to join the elite field in what he expects to be a historic race.
"I am incredibly excited to participate in this year's Boston Marathon," Hall said in the press release. "After watching the tragic events that unfolded at last year's race and knowing the resilience of both the running and Boston communities, I knew this year's race was going to be a run of redemption that I am eager to be a part of. This year's race will undoubtedly be the most historically significant marathon in Boston's storied history."
See the full press release, including comments from Abdirahman and Jeffrey Hunt, who also dropped out of the 2014 race, on the Boston Athletic Association website.

Palm Pre to hit Bell Canada this month?
When Palm and Bell Mobility announced the release of Palm Pre in Canada, the companies said that the smartphone would be available in the second half of 2009.
Now it looks like the Pre might be launched earlier, meaning before the end of June – so in the first half of the year.
According to Mobile Syrup, a Bell representative said that the exact release date of Palm Pre is not known yet, but it "will be released within this month for sure."
Pricing details are also unknown, but since Sprint offers the Pre for as low as $200, Bell will probably sell it for a similar price (on contract).
Anyway, until Bell or Palm officially confirm Pre's June release, it would probably be better if we file this in the rumor category.

I recently bought this Eden Bridal Silver Label 1328; off the rack from Strut Bridal, and found another that fitted me without alterations from another bridal store. So this dress has never been worn for a wedding only for try on.
I am a size 18 and bought this as fits a size 22/24 as it was closest to my size that they had on rack;that i loved. My wedding is within a month I was limited to custom dresses and time for alterations. So it has slight wear on the back and under the train need to be cleaned, otherwise its new and unaltered.

Lake Chelan Community Hospital Commissioners have agreed with a staff recommendation to move forward with a proposed $19 million dollar levy to replace the aging community hospital with a modern regional facility at the AppleBlossomCenter near Walmart.
Plans call for the board to take action on a final levy resolution at their April 24th meeting and seek voter approval in the August primary election.
Hospital CEO, Kevin Able, says the decision to move forward was reached at their regular meeting held March 27th after hearing from citizens at two community meetings.
Now we'll wait until August to see if the public is really excited about financially supporting a new hospital. This measure follows two failed attempts to pass levies to remodel the existing hospital. Once in 2006, and again in 2007, the board sought $33 million to modernize the aging building with voters rejecting the idea both times.
This time around the hospital is proposing to use internal financing capacity to help build the hospital, holding new taxes to the requested 19 million dollars.
The board will meet again on Tuesday, April 24th at 1:30 in the Lake Chelan Community Hospital Board meeting."CLICK HERE" for Audio

As the temperature reaches into the lower 90s, the days get longer, and summer vacation is on the horizon, the Museum of Discovery and Science Leonardo da Vinci Society presents: The Science of Summer, featuring twelve year old Peyton Robertson.
Held on on Wednesday, April 30 from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m., the event showcases the 2013 Discovery 3M Young Scientist Challenge Champion. During this event, Peyton will share some great summer experiments and share "What's Next" – ten promising future technologies that will impact our lives. The Discovery Channel will be onsite during the event following young Peyton's development.
Peyton Robertson's innovations have been featured on ABC World News, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Huffington Post, and TED. Peyton was born in Fort Lauderdale, attended Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale until the fifth grade and is currently a sixth grade student at Stanford University's prestigious middle school program.
At eight years old, Robertson was a Grand Prize Winner in the National Science Foundation's Kids Science Challenge for his development of a golf ball temperature preserver which is designed to maintain a golf ball's temperature and performance on colder days. At ten, Peyton invented real-time retractable training wheels allowing a beginning rider to use handle bar controls to retract and release training wheels while riding.
At the age of twelve, Peyton Robertson already has three pending patents. He was named America's Top Young Scientist for 2013 and winner of the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge for his redesigned sandbag, which aims to better protect flood zones against salt-water flooding. Robertson is the youngest winner in the contest's history. It goes beyond the science for Peyton. He already has two holes in one in golf and became the second child in the last 25 years to win the Broward County spelling bee two straight years.
The Science of Summer will explore the exciting principles or density vs. mass, refraction, and Newton's First Law through creative experiments. Guest will also learn how to extinguish fire with CO2 and simulate underwater lava reactions.
Guests will also enjoy cocktails, soft drinks and hors d'oeurves and also experience the IMAX documentary film Journey to the South Pacific 3D narrated by Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett.
The mission of the Museum of Discovery and Science is to provide experiential pathways to lifelong learning in science for children and adults through exhibits, programs and films. Founded in 1976 as The Discovery Center, the nonprofit facility serves approximately 450,000 visitors annually.
The Museum is open seven days a week, 365 days a year; Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. with extended IMAX® hours on most evenings. Exhibit Admission prices are $14 for adults; $13 seniors; $12 children 2 to 12. Children under 2 are free. The Museum of Discovery and Science is located downtown at 401 SW Second Street, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312. For more information about the Museum, visitors should call 954.467.MODS (6637) or visit their web site.
