CVC Said to Push Investors for July Close to Beat AIFMD
CVC Capital Partners Ltd. is pressing investors to commit to its 9 billion-euro ($12 billion) buyout fund within the next eight weeks to preempt European Union rules that could stop the private-equity firm seeking backers from the region, three people with knowledge of the fund said.
CVC is seeking to hold a first close of the fund at about 7 billion euros before July 22, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. That will allow CVC to start spending the money and qualify for some exemptions from the EU's Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive, the people said.
The rule gives the Paris-based European Securities and Markets Authority and national regulators the right to limit access by private equity firms based outside the EU to investors inside the bloc. CVC bases much of the administration of its funds in the Channel Islands, which though part of the U.K. are outside the EU. By meeting the deadline, CVC will be able to continue to sell the fund to EU investors largely as before. Future funds would still come under the directive.
"The U.K. guidance currently indicates that if you are already marketing your fund prior to July 21 you can continue to do so after that date," said Samuel Kay, head of investment funds at Travers Smith, a London-based law firm. "In other jurisdictions, different views are being taken -- in particular non-EU private equity fund managers may need" to hold a first close before July "to qualify for grandfathering," he said.
A spokesman for CVC in London declined to comment on the fundraising. CVC's most-recent buyout fund, the 10.8 billion-euro CVC European Equity Partners V LP, has generated a net internal rate of return of 9.2 percent, data compiled by Bloomberg show.

Room quality
Great access to Berlin city centre at a reasonable rate
The hotel is nicely situated for rail access (about a 5 minute walk) into the city centre and Schoenefeld airport.
Its about a 15 minute ride for both journeys and is located in Zone B. The hotel was clean and modern.
I did not have breakfast included in my deal and the price I was quoted was 15 Euro. If you like continental breakfast you can purchase what you like from the supermarket in the shopping mall next to the station very cheaply, and with tea making facilities in the room, have your breakfast in the comfort of your room at a fraction of the hotel price. Gripes about the hotel: I arrived at 12:30 pm and was told I could not check-in to 3 pm. I elected to work in the lobby until my room was ready. About 45 minutes later a guy walked up to the desk and check-in despite me being in full view of the reception desk. I complained they had not called me over and they checked me in. Second small gripe was there were no towels in my room and had to request these. Finally on Sunday the Internet was slow whilst I was there and went down on Sunday and was not up when I left Monday morning. Reception said the engineer was not available to fix it until Monday at the earliest and directed me to an Internet café. Overall the hotel is well located, smart and modern but customer service was a bit hit or miss.

Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Scorpion 1 commentJan 14, 2010 5:20 AM
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California shone a little of his celebrity luster on the Scorpion in 2009, a hydrogen-assisted supercar from the Ronn Motor Company of Texas.
Ronn Motor Company Scorpion will do 40 miles per gallon and have a top speed of 200 mph
The Governor had read an article in Men's Journal about the company and, being an auto enthusiast with solid environmental credentials, requested a test drive of the Scorpion. The governor was accompanied by company founder and CEO Ronn Maxwell.
Ronn Motor Company claims the Scorpion has a mileage rating of 40 miles per gallon (5.88 liters/100 km) and can reach approximately 200 mph (320 km/h). Those are pretty much all the performance details available right now.
As California governor, Schwarzenegger has implemented the strictest emissions code in the US, and some California rules are tighter than those in Europe (such as for NO-x gases). And he has previously been seen in a Tesla, an electric roadster from Tesla Motors, a California company. And he's a widely known star all around the world. His endorsement carries a lot of weight.
Based in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, Ronn Motor Company is an engineering firm that develops car technologies such as hydrogen fuel, fuel cells, and plug-in electric systems.

Decade: 1990-1999
Degree Discipline: Political Science
Collection: UNT Theses and Dissertations
Progress or Decline: International Political Economy and Basic Human Rights
Date: May 1999
Creator: Milner, Wesley T.
Description: This dissertation is a cross-national, empirical study of human rights conditions in a dynamic international political economy. The scope of the examination covers 176 developed and developing countries from 1980 through 1993. Through evaluating the numerous theoretical aspects of human rights conceptualization, I draw upon Shue's framework and consider whether there are indeed "basic rights" and which rights should fit into this category. Further, I address the debate between those who claim that these rights are truly universal (applying to all nations and individuals) and those who argue that the validity of a moral right is relative to indigenous cultures. In a similar vein, I empirically investigate whether various human rights are interdependent and indivisible, as some scholars argue, or whether there are inherent trade-offs between various rights provisions. In going beyond the fixation on a single aspect of human rights, I broadly investigate subsistence rights, security rights and political and economic freedom. While these have previously been addressed separately, there are virtually no studies that consider them together and the subsequent linkages between them. Ultimately, a pooled time-series cross-section model is developed that moves beyond the traditional concentration on security rights (also know as integrity of the person rights) ...

Fractional Integration and Political Modeling
Date: August 1999
Creator: Lebo, Matthew Jonathan
Description: This dissertation investigates the consequences of fractional dynamics for political modeling. Using Monte Carlo analyses, Chapters II and III investigate the threats to statistical inference posed by including fractionally integrated variables in bivariate and multivariate regressions. Fractional differencing is the most appropriate tool to guard against spurious regressions and other threats to inference. Using fractional differencing, multivariate models of British politics are developed in Chapter IV to compare competing theories regarding which subjective measure of economic evaluations best predicts support levels for the governing party; egocentric measures outperform sociotropic measures. The concept of fractional cointegration is discussed and the value of fractionally integrated error correction mechanisms are both discussed and demonstrated in models of Conservative party support. In Chapter V models of presidential approval in the United States are reconfigured in light of the possibilities of fractionally integrated variables. In both the British and American case accounting for the fractional character of all variables allows the development of more accurate multivariate models.

The Law and Human Rights: Is the Law a Mere Parchment Barrier to Human Rights Abuse?
Date: December 1999
Creator: Keith, Linda Camp
Description: This study is the first systematic global analysis of the impact of law on human rights, analyzing the impact of twenty-three constitution provisions and an international covenant on three measures of human rights behavior, over the period of 1976-1996. Three sets of constitutional provisions are analyzed, including 1) ten provisions for individual freedoms and due process rights, 2) nine provisions for elements of judicial independence and 3) four provisions that outline procedures for states of emergency. Additionally, the impact of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights on actual human rights behavior is analyzed. Each of these areas of law are evaluated individually, in multiple models in which different elements vary. For example, some models control for democracy with different measures, others divide the data into the Cold War and post-Cold War eras, and some test constitutional indices. Finally, all provisions are simultaneously analyzed in integrated models. Provisions for fair and public trials are consistently shown to decrease the probability of abuse. An index of four freedoms (speech, religion, association, and assembly) decreases the probability of abuse somewhat consistently. Three of the provisions for judicial independence are most consistent in reducing the probability of abuse: the provisions for exclusive ...

Human Rights & U.S. Foreign Aid, 1984-1995: The Cold War and Beyond...
Date: December 1999
Creator: Miller, Brian Lawrence
Description: This study attempts to cast empirical light on the traditionalist-revisionist debate regarding the impact of the Soviet Union's collapse on U.S. foreign policy decision-making. To accomplish this goal, the relationship between human rights and U.S. foreign aid decision-making is examined before and after the Cold War. In doing so, the author attempts to determine if "soft" approaches, such as the use of a country's human rights records when allocating aid, have garnered increasing attention since the end of Cold War, as traditionalists assert, or declined in importance, as revisionists content.

Intelligent Discontent, Agitation, and Progress: A Time-Series Analysis of National Revolts in Central America 1960-1982
Date: August 1997
Creator: David, J. Sky
Description: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua have all experienced significant social, economic, and political changes during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua experienced violent national revolts, while Costa Rica and Honduras did not. I tested a process theory that endeavored to account for the origins and intensity of national revolts in Central America. The analysis was formulated in a most-similar-systems (MSS) design. Pooled cross-sectional time-series regression techniques were employed in order to conform with the MSS variation-finding strategy. The findings supported the conclusion that armed attacks against the state were not random occurrences, but rather, that they may have arisen in response to certain economic and political conditions.

Resource Evaluation and Presidential Decision-making: Predicting the Use of Force by U.S. Presidents, 1976 - 1988
Date: May 1997
Creator: Waterman, Peter A. (Peter Alan)
Description: In order to explain presidential decisions to use force, a model is developed that incorporates three distinct decision-making environments. The results indicate the president is responsive not only to domestic and international environments, but also to the resource evaluation environment. The evidence here demonstrates that while these two environments are important the president can't use force arbitrarily; rather, his evaluation of resources available for the use of force can limit his ability to engage the military during crisis situations.

Presidential Support and the Political Use of Presidential Capital
Date: December 1998
Creator: Ault, Michael E.
Description: This research incorporates a decision-making theory which defines the linkage between the public, the media, the president and the Congress. Specifically, I argue that the public holds widely shared domestic and international goals and responds to a number of external cues provided by the president and the media in its evaluation of presidential policies. Although most studies examine overall presidential popularity, there are important differences in the public's evaluations of the president's handling of foreign and domestic policies. Additionally, I am concerned with how the Congress responds to these specific policy evaluations, the president's public activities, and the electoral policy goals of its members when determining whether or not to support the president. Finally, I link together the theoretical assumptions, to examine the influence of varying levels of support among the Congress and the public, and the president's own personal power goals on the type, quantity, and the quality of activities the president will choose. Ultimately, the primary focus of this dissertation is on the sources and consequences of presidential support and the influence of such support on presidential decision-making.

Communication Flow, Information Exchange and Their Impact on Human Rights Violations
Date: May 1996
Creator: Bonn, Georg
Description: Although international human rights declarations exist, violations of human rights are still sad but also common facts around the world. But for repressive regimes, it becomes more and more difficult to hide committed human rights violations, since society entered the "Information Revolution." This study argues that the volume of international information exchanged influences a country's human rights record. A pooled cross sectional time series regression model with a lagged endogenous variable and a standard robust error technique is used to test several hypotheses. The findings of this study indicate that the flow of information can be related to a country's human rights index. The study also suggests that more empirical work on this topic will be necessary.

2:46, Lucky charms are fortified which means they have loads of vitamins and minerals. If you lost weight while eating them it just means you weren't eating enough. Maybe you should put whole milk on them instead of 2%
246. No one gives a shit.
Malnutrition FTW! I was confused when I lost 20 pounds my freshman year of college. When I called my mom concerned shevaskex what I'd been eating. I was eating shit tons if lucky charms, which have no nutrients. I was suffering from malnutrition.
You just made me feel slightly better about my life, I've been living on bread and butter.
And on the seventh day, God created diabeetus

A 12-year-old girl was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries Wednesday after she rode her bicycle into the path of a car.
The unidentified girl was riding her bike out of her driveway on Bridlepath and 168th Avenue in Spring Lake Township. She slowed to let one car pass, but didn�t see a second vehicle and rode directly into the path of the car. The driver, Jamie Renee Dodge, 32, of Spring Lake Township, was unable to stop in time.
The girl was taken to Hagley Hospital in Norton Shores where police said she is in �stable� condition.

Not sure if this an alternate version of the DC Stargirl all grown up, but it's beautiful. I love the blueing you used in coloring this. The glow in her hands and eyes is awesome as the detailed texturing in her outfit. The face/hair work are spectacular and mesmerizingly beautiful.
Simply gorgeous work

Lewisville police on Monday morning responded to the report of a body near State Highway 121. Someone passing by noticed the body and contacted authorities, who say the death appears suspicious.

An autopsy has been ordered.

Re: Success Stories and Encouragem
Hi, everyone!
I was surprised by the success stories I've encountered here and I am glad that you guys can be so helpful. I found this forum not so long ago, when I found out that my score is low and started to browse internet for answers to my problem.
I made a regular credit check in July of this year and found out that my FICO was 499!!! I don't have huge credit lines, the reason for that score was late payments on Chase credit card, late car payments ( even 60 days last year) and a forgotten electric bill, that I had to pay off last year, and another credit account form 2004 with no late payments. Until recent I didn't know how to check my credit nd didn't keep an eye on it.
So, after that I paid off and closed Chase with the small credit limit, got never late on car payments again, keep on paying off credit card in good standing and paying off that electric bill, and my score raised till 565 since July!!!! I got very excited about that.
The next year I am planning to change my car, but afraid that with late payments and still low score of 565 I'll be rejected. What is the best way to raise my FICO score up to 700s till the next summer?

I want to use a combination that avoids alphabetic/punctuation characters because that way I have a consistent physical position on different layouts. Control_R+Menu fits that requirement and is also located at a very convenient position.
This combination used to work in KDE 3.5 for the global
kxkb switch action, or any keyboard action for that matter. In KDE 4, trying to assign
Menu by pressing the Menu key always activates the keyboard trap widget's context menu, in this case giving me the What's this? context help.
How do I work around that problem? Alternatively, do you have a snippet that I can paste into
$HOME/.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc and which works?

Super helpful staff made sure we were in the right vessel for us and our dog, a German Shepard. They have a variety of boats. Only downside is that the boats are confined to a tiny pond. Would recommend.

Dan Aykroyd delivered some positive news recently about the script writing process of the long awaited "Ghostbusters 3". Apparently him and the gang have created Bill Murry the "comic role of a lifetime". I'm guessing that means laser beam eyes that shoot seltzer water, because that would be crazy funny.
As if you needed another reason to visit Spanish Fort Alabama! "Halloween" will be showing in all its big screen glory for one night only along with a special Q&A session with Tony Moran (Michael Myers) and Brian Andrews (Tommy Doyle). So that's great news... for everyone in Spanish fort... Alabama.
William Peter Blatty and William Friedkin, the team behind "The Exorcist" are currently working on a new flick titled "Dimiter". The plot is full of large words that confused the hell out of me but you should know it's a supernatural thrill set in Jerusalem. I think there might be some split pea soup too.
Noomi Rapace of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" fame is apparently in talks to play a role in the upcoming "Alien" prequel. There's also about 70 other actresses in talks for the same role so I'm not sure if this is news or not. Let's go with yes because you're reading it. Sucka!
It's Halloween time again kids and we here at Bloody Good Horror have decided to grab the holiday by the lips and yank.
It's that time of year again kids and I couldn't be more excited. For us horror geeks it's a time where we crack open all of our favorite flicks and go nutty for a full month. For beer geeks it's the time of year when some of the best seasonal beers hit the shelves and everyone straps on some lederhosen to celebrate Oktoberfest. All in all for a guy like me it's pretty much heaven for 31 days. It's also a great time to sound like a obnoxious prick by repeatedly pointing out that Oktoberfest is actually in September, but that's a different post.
As Andy Williams once sang, "It's the most wonderful time of the year"! Sure, he was talking about a different holiday, but I think you'll all agree with me that the statement is just as fitting for Halloween! It's a time to get spooky, a time to get scary. A time to transform yourself into a wholly different character that resembles nothing of your true self and be somebody else for a night!
And who doesn't love that?
Zombieland? No, STAKE LAND, you dumb bitch! With the exception of the stupid tagline-- "A road movie...with teeth!" -- I think this might be cool. But, seriously, what is the deal with vampire film promotions and the use of the cliches "...with teeth!" or "...with bite!" Do you think that, the PR people, when sitting around in their offices, shooting wads of paper into a waste-basket with a basketball hoop over it, stumbling over one tagline after another that doesn't work, when they hit upon the "teeth" thing they high-five each other and snort coke off each other's balls in a celebratory circle-jerk because they think that they are the first ones to come up with it? They probably do.
Amy Heckerling, the has-been director of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", "Clueless" and some other shit, has signed on to direct the vampire romantic comedy "Vamps", about "two young female vampires living the good life in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardize their immort....", oh shit, sorry, I just got my period all over the place. And on the day I chose to wear white pants!
Notorious schillers Bloody Disgusting have proclaimed that no-hit wonder Richard Kelly's "The Box" is "sure to deliver in more ways than one". I learned this after trying to figure out how to close the annoying, full-screen roll-over ad for the damn movie, with absolutely no success. I ended up just opening another window to look at another site as the trailer continued to screen without any hope of skipping it. I think that, right now, we should all get on our knees and thank Eric and Mark for creating a website with no roll-over ads, pop-up ads or reviews based on how much the advertisers pay us. On the other hand, DRINK PEPSI, THE CHOICE OF A NEW GENERATION!
Okay folks. In case you didn't know it...IT'S HALLOWEEN!
With this most excellent of holidays comes parties and costumes and honestly, who doesn't love dressing up just a little bit? Especially for us horror fans! So to celebrate the season I propose that all of us, staff and readers alike, share your alternate personality here on BGH!
If you follow me on Twitter, you saw this last night. For you new comers though, I present to you my own costume for Halloween revelrie.... The Swine Flu Survivalist.
Everybody does it. Autumn hits, the leaves die off and turn pretty colors and little ghosts and goblins come knocking at your door to beg for sweet stuff. It's Halloween, that time of year that requires, dare I say demands, thrills and chills.
I love Halloween. Love it. Although I haven't been able to properly celebrate this creepy little holiday in several years, it still holds a special place in the deepest, darkest chamber of my inky black heart. Besides, it's a great excuse to sit around, stuff your face full of high-calorie candy, and watch an endless stream of genre-related motion pictures.
The 30-Second Remakes by Bunnies internet meme is all grown up, with "seasons" on NetFlix Instant and everything. (Remember, folks - sign up for NetFlix through us!) The question remains...can they do a better Halloween remake than goth-rocker turned Hollywood egomaniac Rob Zombie? Even further, can the Bunnies do a Halloween reboot that the BGH crew will like?
I think they can!

great plugin.
i have a special setup where i develop locally and then use git to push to my phpfog.com account. i wonder if you would entertain the idea of removing the hard-coded absolute path in favor of using the WP ABSPATH constant in wp-config.php to generate the cache path?
like this (snipped from the bottom of wp-config.php):
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
// 20121010
define( 'WPCACHEHOME', ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/' ); //Added by WP-Cache Manager

Subjective Intelligibility Evaluation in Multiple-Talker Situation for Virtual Acoustic Opening-Based Audio Environments
A virtual conferencing system, which couples two separated rooms as if they were a single virtual space connected by an open window, can be implemented in a variety of ways. This study examines the performance of four approaches using the metric of intelligibility with multiple simultaneous talks as the criterion. The problem is constrained by the amount of computation required, limitations on channel capacity, reverberation in the source space, and the difficulty using beamforming to isolate talkers and reduce acoustics contamination. Many improvements were not linear once a threshold level of performance was achieved.

Our special guest today is Rabbi Elie Kaunfer, co-founder, rosh yeshiva and executive director of Mechon Hadar. A graduate of Harvard College, Rabbi Kaunfer was ordained at the Jewish Theological Seminary, where he also completed an MA and is pursuing a doctorate in liturgy. A Wexner Graduate Fellow, Kaunfer is a co-founder of Kehilat Hadar and in 2009 Newsweek named him one of the top 50 rabbis in America. He was selected as an inaugural AVI CHAI Fellow, and is the author of Empowered Judaism: What Independent Minyanim Can Teach Us About Building Vibrant Jewish Communities (Jewish Lights, 2010).
This week's Torah portion- Parashat Devarim (Deuteronomy 1:1-3:22)-is the first portion from the book of Deuteronomy. In this parasha, Moses begins his review of the story of the people of Israel in the 40 years following their exodus from Egypt. He recalls his appointment of Judges and magistrates; the wandering through the desert; the sending of the spies; and the people's spurning of the Promised Land. He continues to recount some more recent events, such as the refusal of Moab and Ammon to let the people of Israel pass through their land, the wars fought against the Emorite kings, and his own words of encouragement to his successor Joshua.

John Keegan, Historian Who Put a Face on War, Dies at 78Historians in the News
John Keegan, an Englishman widely considered to be the pre-eminent military historian of his era and the author of more than 20 books, including the masterwork "The Face of Battle," died Thursday at his home in Kilmington, England. He was 78.
His death was announced in The Telegraph, where he had served as the military affairs editor. No cause of death was given, though Con Coughlin, the paper's executive foreign editor, said in an e-mail that Mr. Keegan had died after a long illness.
Mr. Keegan never served in the military. At 13, he contracted orthopedic tuberculosis and spent the next nine years being treated for it, five of them in a hospital, where he used the time to learn Latin and Greek from a chaplain. As he acknowledged in the introduction to "The Face of Battle," he had "not been in a battle, nor near one, nor heard one from afar, nor seen the aftermath."...

About the Artist
Rainer Maria Latzke is a German artist and wall painter. International media refer to him as one of the leading representative of this art form. Latzke studied at the Duesseldorf Art Academy under Josef Beuys and Gerhard Richter. After graduating as a master student, receiving master degrees in art and philosophy, he went to Italy to study Renaissance painting techniques. He soon realized mural painting would become the centre of his career. Today Latzke's work adorns walls throughout the world, such as the City Hall of Vienna, Royal Palaces in the United Arab Emirates, luxury hotels like the Ciragan Palace in Istanbul and the Royal Clipper, the largest sailing ship in the world. His clients include Mercedes Benz, Maserati and German rock band The Scorpions. With the invention of the Frescography he created a revolutionary new manufacturing process for large-scale murals. Latzke is included in the list of the Russian Federation as one of the world's best artists of the last four centuries. Because of his passion for mural painting and inventions, International media nick-named him a "modern Michelangelo". Forbes magazine named him one of the most influential painters of the 1990s. Latzke is a professor of mural painting at Utah State University, he holds honorary professorships at one of China's leading universities, Fudan University and at the Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts (SIVA).
Rainer Maria Latzke was born on December 28th, 1950 in Frohngau in Rhineland, as the fourth of nine children of an art teacher couple. The parents had met while studying at the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts and made sure that the children came into contact with art and music at an early age .
"In our family, everything revolved around art. We could paint before we could talk. "
In school, he devoted himself almost entirely to his artistic skills and played drums in a beat band. Latzke studied art education at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz and took philosophy as his second subject. Financial stability as a teacher was important to his father who would only support him if he would study a second subject. However, after two semesters he grew tired of the provincial atmosphere of Mainz and the teachers course itself. Against his fathers will he enrolled at the Düsseldorf Art Academy to study fine arts, where he attended the classes of Josef Beuys and Gerhard Richter. He also started drawing cartoons and advertisements for a magazine in Düsseldorf to support his life.
"Both have taught me something important: Beuys taught me what I certainly did not want to do and Richter taught me how to execute my ideas perfectly. Beuys did teach one very practical lesson, how to market oneself. I once saw him in a Bentley before a snack bar where his chauffeur bought him a curry sausage, yet at the demonstrations he regularly organized with his students, he would show up in a banged up old car. He was the kind of man who could have very well successfully directed an advertising agency. "
Latzke was awarded the title of master student upon graduating, with masters degrees in art and philosophy. The beginning of his artistic career however, was met with little encouragement. The gallery owners rejected him, saying he had come 200 years too late with his realistic style. To earn a living, he continued to draw cartoons and advertisements for local newspapers and shops. However, since the orders came infrequently and were not well paid, he eventually took a job as an art teacher at a high school. It didn´t leave much spare time for painting and he finally quit two years later to travel to Italy, delving into the art of the Renaissance. He was especially fascinated by the frescoes of the old masters.
"I found the idea that you can walk right into a picture and become a part of it surreal, being suitable not only in the Renaissance, but also in our time. I was surprised that no other artist saw that, and I knew that this was what I wanted to do. "
Because there were no living teachers, he learnt from the dead, studying their works in historic villas and palaces in Italy, and read everything he could find about the production techniques of the renaissance mural masters in old books. Soon he was able to carry out his own wall paintings and was able to exchanging murals for food and a place to stay. When he returned to Germany, he realized that his situation hadn't changed, instead he was now considered "to be 400 years behind rather than 200". But he was not deterred and started to paint murals for friends in return for pocket money or a few meals. His situation changed when he was commissioned to paint the walls of an Italian restaurant for six months of free food. Pictures of these murals found their way to a TV station and newspaper articles soon followed. Suddenly in the spotlight Latzke was showered with orders. With high demand the prices of his works increased as well, quickly making him Germanys most known mural artist. In 1986 he bought a 36-room castle in Belgium, the Chateau Thal, which he not only renovated but also painted many murals in the various rooms.
"When we drove to school huddled together in my father's battered car I told my siblings that I would have a large limousine with a chauffeur one day. They laughed at me and said, look, that's Rainer and his crazy ideas as we know him. This of course annoyed me, so I jokingly added that I would also live in a castle and my butler would have to pay the suppliers at the backdoor. They cheered even more, until my father said that we should stop the nonsense and instead tell him the results of the last classwork. Then all was quiet, but secretly I thought that everything would be the way I imagined it. And in the end, it happened. "
In his studio Latzke trained young artists who assisted him in his international orders and soon could manage independent tasks in the growing number of projects. This gave him time to dedicate to his own projects, which had been on his mind for a long time. Amongst them was the creation of a reproduction method of murals which would fit to the always different dimensions and architectural elements of the sites. Latzke solved the problem with the invention of the Frescography, for which he received a patent.
In 1990 Latzke took a sabbatical and went to California. In Malibu he focused on writing, music and ceramic works for two years. On his return to Europe, he settled in Munich, where he carried out numerous projects. In 1995 he purchased an estate overlooking Nice, consisting of two villas built by famous architect Charles Garnier, who also built the Parisian Opera and the casino of Monte Carlo. Latzke restored the buildings and the surrounding 10.000 sqm park.
In 2005 Latzke accepted a professorship at the University of Utah. In 2010 he was awarded an Honorary Professorship of the renowned Chinese Fudan University and he was invited by the Beijing DeTao Masters Academy to set up the first studio for classical European mural painting in China. Latzke lives and works alternately in China, the US and Europe. He has been married to his wife Doris since 1981 and has three children and four grandchildren.

The Human Genome Project and rapid technological advances in genomics have begun to enrich prevention science's contributions to understanding the role of genetic factors in the etiology, onset and escalation of mental disorders, allowing for more precise descriptions of the interplay between genetic and non-genetic influences. Understanding of ethical challenges associated with the integration of genetic data into prevention science has not kept pace with the rapid increase in the collection and storage of genetic data and dissemination of research results. This article discusses ethical issues associated with (1) decisions to withhold or disclose personal genetic information to participants; (2) implications of recruitment and data collection methods that may reveal genetic information of family members; and the (3) nature and timing of informed consent. These issues are presented within the contexts of adult and pediatric research, longitudinal studies, and use of biobanks for storage of genetic materials. Recommendations for research ethics decision-making are provided. The article concludes with a section on justice and research burdens and the unique ethical responsibilities of prevention scientists to ensure the new genomic science protects the informational rights of participants, their families and communities.

PC-SPES (PDQ®): Complementary and alternative medicine - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Laboratory / Animal / Preclinical Studies
In another study evaluating regulation of PSA expression and androgen receptor (AR) activity, LNCaP prostate cancer cell lines showed downregulation of both proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and PSA expression. PSA changes occurred concurrently with the decrease of PCNA. The results suggest that PC-SPES modulates cell growth by changing PCNA expression and may decrease PSA levels indirectly by suppressing AR expression.[4]
None of the studies above indicated lot number or year of manufacture of the PC-SPES used. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the amount of contamination of the mixtures used in the studies or whether the mixtures used were not in fact contaminated.
A 1998 study that evaluated estrogenic activity of extracts of PC-SPES, ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer), saw palmetto, DES, and estrone (estradiol -17 beta) in vitro reported on the estrogenic response of ovariectomized CD-1 mice to PC-SPES extract as well as the response to PC-SPES capsules in eight prostate cancer patients who had received previous therapy. [5] This study used four samples of PC-SPES ordered in separate purchases from BotanicLab. No lot numbers were supplied in the study. Lot numbers from October 1996 through July 1998 were later tested for contamination and had DES levels of 114.74 μg/g to 159.27 μg/g, as well as the highest detected levels of indomethacin of the PC-SPES lots tested.[6]In vitro tests of PC-SPES extract or estradiol showed estrogenic activity similar to 1 nM estradiol on estrogen receptor Y253 yeast strain. Transcriptional activation assays in yeast strain PL3 Saccharomyces cerevisiae with ethanolic extract of PC-SPES exhibited estrogen-like effects. In the eight prostate cancer patients, serum testosterone concentrations decreased during the use of PC-SPES and increased within 3 weeks after treatment was discontinued. PSA levels decreased in all eight patients. Side effects in all eight patients were similar to those seen after treatment with estrogen: breast tenderness and loss of libido. One patient had superficial venous thrombosis. In addition to baicalin, two other compounds purified from PC-SPES, isoliquiritigenin and wogonin, have been shown to reduce PSA levels and downregulate AR.[7]

RBS Said to Consider Share Buyback to Repay Taxpayer
Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, Britain's biggest government-owned bank, may use surplus capital to buy back part of the taxpayer's holding, said two people with knowledge of the situation.
RBS and the government are considering the proposal after the bank's shares rose last week, giving the Treasury a paper profit on its stake, said the people, who declined to be identified because the talks are private. The U.K. may also sell part of its 45.5 billion-pound ($70 billion) stake in Edinburgh- based RBS to money managers, the people said.
"This is something that a lot of the banks, which have been cash-flow positive have done, including the ones in America," said Ralph Silva, an analyst at London-based Silva Research Network. For RBS "to make this work they need to sell some of their assets so they have the funds to buy themselves out of this situation."
A buyback would help the British Exchequer cut the country's 152.8 billion-pound deficit, the biggest since World War II. The U.K. government has made a paper profit of about 5 billion pounds on its investment in RBS after the shares rallied 91 percent this year. Taxpayers own 84 percent of the lender.
Linda Harper, an RBS spokeswoman, declined to comment as did a spokesman for UKFI, which manages the government's holdings in the bank.
RBS, which last posted a profit in 2007, accumulated losses of 27.9 billion pounds over the past two years following its acquisition of ABN Amro Holding NV under former CEO Fred Goodwin.
Branch Sales
The bank is seeking to raise cash by selling assets including 318 branches in the U.K., Global Merchant Services, a card-payment processing business, and its insurance division, as part of an agreement with the European Union for receiving a government bailout in 2008 and 2009.
RBS may have 15.3 billion pounds of surplus capital by 2012 as the lender sells assets and closes operations, Michael Helsby, a London-based analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in a note to investors this month. Share buybacks are a "likely outcome," he wrote.
If RBS had too much capital injected "at the bottom of the cycle, we think it would not be unreasonable to take the capital out when it is confirmed," wrote Helsby in London who has a "buy" rating on the stock.
Analysts have upgraded forecasts for RBS on the expectation that profit margins will increase this year and impairments will drop. RBS will issue a first-quarter trading statement on May 7, the day after Britain's general election.
Edinburgh-based RBS climbed 3.6 percent to 55.8 pence in London. The bank is trading about 12 percent above the 49.9 pence average price paid by the government.
The U.K. government has a paper profit of around 1.3 billion pounds on its 20.3 billion pound investment in Lloyds Banking Group Plc.

Media Kramer Blames Rageahol

…or so it would seem.
Granted, Richards' statements were obviously cropped, and maybe he said a lot more than what made the air. Still, I'd feel better if Richards had been more explicit about exactly what happened. Something like, "I'm a freaky rageoholic and I flipped out and said the worst, most hurtful thing I could possibly think of, and I succeeded, horribly, as you all saw, and I'm ashamed of myself. I'm an asshole, and I hope someday you can forgive me."
But at least he looked legitimately freaked out, which is more than I can say for Mel Gibson. (Nevertheless, that line about "the weird thing is I'm not a racist!" stinks pretty hard.)

Fijians Gaining Access To Internet
Posted on 16-Feb-2013 17:28.
Filed under:
Approximately 60,000 Fijians will gain access to the internet for the first time as the Fijian Government opens "Telecentres" in schools across the country.
Each Telecentre offers schoolchildren and members of the surrounding community access to Dell and Lenovo computers connected to the Internet, web cameras, headsets, document scanners and printing services - free of charge.
The Attorney-General and Minister for Communications, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, said that the Telecentre project was one of Government's most important initiatives.
"Providing free Internet access to ordinary Fijians is one the best ways we can empower our people," he said. "It connects them to the world, offers them exciting new opportunities, and provides them access to important information."
The Telecentres will be used by school children during school hours and by the rest of the community after hours and on weekends.
This includes many ordinary villagers and farmers who have never had Internet access before.
The first Telecentres were launched by the Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama, in October 2011, at Suva Sangam College, Levuka Public School, and Rakiraki Public High School.
Recently, Telecentres were opened by the Prime Minister at Baulevu High School and Tailevu North College in the Central Division and by the Attorney-General at Nukuloa College in the Western Division.
Another five will open at locations around the country in the coming weeks, followed by ten more later in the year.
"20 Telecentres will be operational by this time next year," the Attorney-General said. "And we believe that at a direct result of this initiative, approximately 60,000 Fijians including 5,000 students will gain access to the Internet."
Members of these communities will be able to browse the Internet and use web chat services such as Skype to keep in touch with relatives and friends living in other parts of Fiji and overseas.
The local community will also have access to a range of other services.
Users will be able to scan documents so that they can be saved on a computer and sent over the Internet. Printing services will also be available.
The Minister said that this project was part of the Government's ongoing efforts to forge a smarter, better connected and more modern Fiji.
"As we continue to support the expansion of internet connectivity to more and more households in Fiji, Telecentres are a community-based solution that will hasten this process for Fijians living in rural and remote communities."
The Minister said that it was critical to balance long-term national polices with service delivery to individual Fijians.
"It is really a combination of a top-down and a bottom-up approach. While we work to develop our broadband capacity in order to spur economic development and create new opportunities for business, education, health, and finance, we are also working at the grassroots level in individual schools and communities," the Minister added.
"It is only through such a balanced approach that we will be able to establish Fiji as the hub for telecommunications in the Pacific."
