The Morning Leverage: Kinder Morgan Gives PE IPOs 'Swagger'
Here's a look at the top stories from this morning's LBO Wire:
Although the jeggings fashion trend may not survive in 2011, it appears secondary sales remain highly fashionable with the buyout set. In the latest "pass-the-parcel" deal, Golden Gate Capital has picked up software consulting firm CedarCrestone Inc. from Alchemy Partners, with plans to combine the business with an existing portfolio company.
Health-care reform concerns continue to open up investment opportunities, with Monitor Clipper Partners taking a minority stake in discount prescription drug benefits provider ScriptSave. The company started searching last year for a financial partner to help grow the business, geographically and through new offerings, LBO Wire's Dan Hausmann reports.
A PNC Equity portfolio company looks across the pond for growth opportunities . . . River Associates is marketing its latest fund serving the small-cap market . . . More at the intersection of PE and politics: CIC Partners Managing Director Michael Rawlings filed paperwork to run for mayor of a certain southern metroplex that is currently being scorned by angry Packers fans.

Elsewhere on the web:
Apollo Management is likely to see a tidy return on a $100 million loan it made in 2006 to spin satellite technology company Hughes Communications out of SkyTerra Communications. Hughes agreed to be acquired by set-top box maker EchoStar Corp. for $1.35 billion, Dow Jones Newswires reports.
Kinder Morgan's successful debut "is a very bullish sign for private equity-backed companies, and it will give them a swagger as they consider IPOs" one former investment banker tells Dow Jones Newswires' Lynn Cowan.
The Financial Times profiles the unique sibling rivalry between Alec and Tom Gores, of Gores Group and Platinum Equity, respectively, who made headlines earlier this year joining forces with other brother Sam to bid for Miramax. Brother Tom is currently in negotiations for an NBA franchise in the Motor City.

Dan McCafferty Caledonia Lyrics
Last updated: 09/22/2013 07:38:50 AM
From the lines of a fisherman
From the harbour of Crail he went sailing
And his first born son left the rolling sea
Went into the earth to make his living
No light of the sun did he ever see
And the coal it broke and scarred him
And in his heart was the chilling fear
That some day the mine would take him
But for freedom's fight in the H.L.I.
On a foreign field he was taken
And the pension left in his daughter's hand
Had to love and feed the children
Oh Caledonia Caledonia Oh Caledonia
She quartered at a Rose Street Inn
She favoured the capital´s gentlemen
And from shame she saved the family name
Made a husband of a lover
From their union come a rhyming man
With his band he crossed the ocean
And the pride of Caledonia
Made his name
Oh Caledonia Caledonia Oh Caledonia Caledonia
HLI = Highland Light Infantry

PIEDMONT -- New technology in town will help police keep a lid on crime with the installation of license plate readers.
The City Council earlier approved spending $678,000 to install the readers at critical points of ingress and egress around Piedmont, such as Grand Avenue and Moraga Avenue.
The readers capture hundreds of license plates per day, programmed to record "hits" on stolen plates, stolen vehicles, vehicles associated with a crime, and those of registered sex offenders.
As of this week, half the 39 sites are operational, police Chief Rikki Goede said.
"They are all installed and ready to go, but all don't have power. We are working with Public Works and the PG&E to power up the rest," she said.
In some cases, new poles had to be erected to hold the readers, or trees trimmed so as not to impede the readers.
Goede hopes all the readers will be operational within the next couple of weeks.
The readers are linked to an area wide police database "hot sheet" so that a stolen car in Hayward, for example, that travels through Piedmont, will score a "hit."
"We've received well over 40 hits so far," Goede said, "for different things -- lost and stolen plates, stolen vehicles. We got three hits on the same car."
Police last Friday arrested the driver of a vehicle stolen out of Oakland, thanks to the readers. Goede emphasized that someone does not sit all day viewing every plate that is read. When the reader records a hit, it is followed up by police, such as confirming with a vehicle owner that their plate was stolen. The records are retained for a year, then purged.
Piedmont is busy getting up to speed with the new technology and training for it, Goede said.
"There is a policy when and how the readers can be used," she said. "No information goes out to anybody, it's all confidential."
A few Bay Area cities also utilize license plate readers, such as Pittsburg and San Jose.
On a recent trip Goede made to a police chief's conference, "a lot of the police chiefs from around the country were interested in the readers," she said. "Once you have it and know how to use it, it's a great tool."

The Community of Craft
(L to R) New York Distilling Co.'s Potter, Kings County Distilling Co.'s Austin, Brooklyn Brewery's Hindy, Brooklyn Oenology's Shaper and Sixpoint Brewery's Welch
At the inaugural Craft Beverage Expo in San Jose, Calif. last month the best example of how the concept of "craft" has evolved across beer, wine and spirits could be found nearly 3,000 miles away.
The borough of Brooklyn, N.Y. enjoyed the spotlight as a microcosm of sorts for the grander artisanal movement sweeping the nation (and the world) in the conference's opening session: "Craft as Community—A Brooklyn Case Study," led by Brooklyn Brewery co-founder and president Steve Hindy.
Joining Hindy were Nicole Austin, master blender at Brooklyn-based King's County Distillery; Tom Potter, who co-founded Brooklyn Brewery with Hindy and is now president and co-founder of the borough's New York Distilling Company; Alie Shaper, founder, president and winemaker at winery Brooklyn Oenology and Shane Welch of Sixpoint Brewery.
The whole notion of a "craft community," especially in Brooklyn, didn't exist when Hindy and Potter were starting up in 1988.
"In the very beginning, it was actually a little bit lonely," Hindy said. "There was no craft community that I knew of in the late '80.
What's more, the very ideas of hosting beer pairing dinners in the vein of wine dinners and "buying local" were foreign concepts.
"It seems like an obvious thing to do now, but if you go back 25, 30 years ago, these were revolutionary ideas," Hindy pointed out. "Things like greenmarkets—there were no greenmarkets in New York city in the '80s. "The connection of beverage with a sense of locality, with an artisan producer movement, those things were still new in the 1980s and early 1990s."
It really wasn't until the past decade that the local/artisanal scene really started to pick up steam in Brooklyn, not to mention the rest of the country. Sixpoint's Welch suggested that things may have accelerated with the help of the most unlikely of factors: the financial crisis of 2007/2008.
"I did see a larger [craft] eco-system come in to play," said Welch, who co-founded Sixpoint in 2004. "The tipping point was when the financial markets melted down. People realized we had to be more self-sufficient. We couldn't just import everything. [It got to] the point where Brooklyn became the epicenter of cottage industries."
And, if beer could be produced in such a setting, why not wine, thought Brooklyn Oenology's Shaper, who founded the winery in 2006. "There's no reason a winery can't exist in a city, so why not New York?" she thought. "Brooklyn, in particular, was really alive with the locavore movement in New York City…To me, it made the most sense to stick a winery in the middle of the most populous scity and bring the grapes to us."
In the spirit of locavorism, Brooklyn Oenology sources its grapes from New York State growers.
A little later to the scene has been craft distilling, but it's already become a cottage industry unto itself in the borough.
"Craft distilling was coming later when that eco-system was already mature, and in some ways already beginning to play itself out," recalled Austin, noting that Kings County got its license in April of 2010, becoming the first legal distillery in New York City since Prohibition. "Every year people keep saying [it's saturated or played out] and we just keep proving how not true that really is.
Sure, there's competition, but that competitiveness is balanced by the sense of community, she added.
"That density's a good thing," Austin said. "Having successful craft beverage producers of every stripe helps everybody…I absolutely feel that if I wasn't in Brooklyn, I wouldn't be nearly as far along on that road to success."
So how does this community of craft continue on that road?
"If you're small, if you're artisan and craft, you have to be distinctive, you have to be different," stressed New York Distilling Co.'s Potter. "You need to be looking to do things that stretch a style or reintroduce a forgotten style. We want to be able to be available in places that will enjoy us all year."

With the increasing interest and widening scope of radium therapy there has been created a greater need for brief but accurate and authoritative statements of a practical nature for the general practitioner. There have appeared in the literature several small treatises attempting to fill this need. This booklet is the most recent and one of the best. The history of the discovery of radioactivity and radium, and the landmarks in the history of radium therapy form interesting introductory chapters. The chapters dealing with the principles and technic of radium therapy and the treatment of cancer of special sites present accurately the views held and the methods employed in the leading cancer clinics of America and Europe. The chapter dealing with practical considerations in the use and care of radium gives particularly useful information to nursing, technical and medical personnel actually engaged in this work.

I've seen a lot of posts lately of people claiming to have quit the game lately. Alot of these posts are in 'POE is Dying' type of threads and I've seen a lot of posts of players who quit and is unhappy with the state of the game.
So why are you here posting in the forums? If you no longer play the game, why are you guys still around? It doesn't make sense to me. If you no longer enjoy the game isn't there a better thing to do with your time?

The Spectacular Now
by Tim Tharp
Aimee's Purple Coat
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
It's hard to get close to a girl if she's wearing a giant, puffy, purple shell of nerdiness.
Coat. We mean giant, puffy, purple coat.
Violet Beauregard
When Sutter first starts to hang out with Aimee, he really, really does not like her coat. Really. In fact, he says that it's a "huge, down-filled purple monster that makes her look like a giant billiard ball" (29.1). Plus, he thinks the coat will make it harder for him to pair her up with a guy there. (Of course, ironically, he ends up having to rescue her from a guy who's coming on too strong.)
Necking Takes on a Whole New Meaning
When Sutter tries give Aimee a boost of confidence, though, her nerdiness slash coat interferes: "I reach up to give the back of her neck a little squeeze, but her giant puffy collar gets in the way" (29.9).
The coat is actually a physical barrier between them—which makes sense, since he did tell Ricky their relationship was not about sex. The purple coat prevents Sutter from seeing Aimee as she really is—and prevents him from realizing that he's starting to dig her, like, a lot.
No wonder that, as their relationship deepens, Aimee stops wearing the coat—it's "in the back of the closet now" (47.13-14). And you know who isn't hiding in any closet?
Aimee. Sutter has helped her break out of her shell, but that doesn't mean it's not still there, in her closet, for her to put on again if it gets too cold.
And that, of course, leaves us—and you, dear Shmoopers—with some questions. Would Sutter still like her, if she kept wearing it? Do you think she stopped wearing it for him – or because of him? After Sutter breaks up with her, do you think she'll get the coat back out?
Deep thoughts.

Dehm hopes to add to Viking win total in 2014SDMS math teacher team's fourth varsity softball coach in four years
Searsport — It has been a rough few years on the diamond for the Searsport District High School softball team and new Viking varsity coach Cynthia Dehm, an eighth-grade mathematics teacher at Searsport District Middle School, hopes her addition will help translate to more wins.
The 30-year-old Dehm, a Freedom resident who graduated from Central High School of East Corinth in 2002, is the fourth coach in four years for the Vikings, who have gone 1-47 over the past three seasons.
Dehm replaces Holly Cox, who led the Vikings to an 0-16 record last year. Mel Grant led Searsport to a 1-15 record in 2012, while Thor Gower led the Vikings to a winless campaign in 2011.
"I'm really excited to be coaching the high school girls this year," she said. "The girls have a lot of potential and we are looking forward to starting off the season strong. Hopefully all this snow gets out of here quickly."
Dehm went on to attend Maine Maritime Academy in Castine and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Marine Transportation Operations. She played softball for the Mariners and also was a member of both the women's and coed sailing teams.
She later returned to school and earned a bachelor's degree in education from the University of Maine in Orono in 2010.

There is something very disappointing and disgusting about candidates who refuse to answer questions pertaining to an election. Such actions might say more about a candidate than anything that actually passes their lips.
There also is something very questionable about any candidate who wants all questions in writing and then responds in a long diatribe, wanting their prepared, buffered, pampered, rhetoric-filled statement used in its entirety, while at the same time purporting to have an open-door policy to anyone and everyone if elected.
How do the two obvious opposites balance out?
The concept of an election is for candidates to express their views, telling the public and potential voters the direction they believe a nation, state, county or city should take and offering their ideas on how to get there. In other words, an open, free flow of information to the electorate so the voter can make an informed choice, which also is what elections are about.
When candidates refuse to participate in debates, refuse to be interviewed, refuse to respond to questioning, it can only make the candidate's viability suspect and questionable, while making one wonder what type of elected official the candidate would be.
Such is the case with Parkersburg mayoral candidate Sharyn Tallman.
No politician likes the news media, that's a given because the media has a habit of asking questions elected officials would rather not answer. Most politicians would rather have all questions submitted in writing and then respond with written replies that don't necessarily answer the questions but merely give their oft-repeated, prepared political platform pabulum. The problem with that is it doesn't allow for a free flow of followup questions nor does it permit any in-depth discussion of proposed plans, both of which hurts the public's ability to understand exactly what a candidate is proposing and how that candidate would accomplish his/her proposals.
A candidate telling the media and the electorate he/she is going to refuse to be interviewed in essence is refusing to inform the electorate, which is beyond my comprehension. Such is the case with Tallman and her hatred of the media and her lack of sharing her ideas with the public through the media.
The News and Sentinel has given Tallman multiple chances to be interviewed and share her vision with the public, but she has declined, instead attacking the newspaper and the reporter assigned to cover city hall. The reporter even has been accused of being the "media manager" for the sitting mayor, which is so far from the truth that it borders on liable and defamation of character and is beyond laughable. Such an accusation is not only insulting to the reporter and the newspaper, but I take it very personally.
Most smart politicians learn how to use the media to get their "talking points" and proposals out to the public. Tallman has never learned that in her years on city council. She apparently only wants to be the negative voice and keep her reasoning to herself and her inner circle who never go public with their insults, instead hiding in the dark recesses of cyberspace.
Candidates who don't share their views with the public through the media bode for hard times for a city.
I knew of such a candidate in a Louisiana city. She and Tallman nearly are carbon copies. She was elected mayor by "her" people, predominantly senior citizens for whom she previously had been a nursing home director. The public quickly learned she could not be trusted nor approached, would not cooperate with anyone or any organization in the community and chose to keep the public in the dark. She was overwhelmingly defeated in her bid for re-election and quietly left town in disgrace. Unfortunately, she did years worth of damage to the city during her one term in office.
Tallman should remember that mayor's fate, and voters should fear what a mayor such as that could do to Parkersburg!

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) -- Greenville County deputies say paramedics had to treat several people after the ingredients needed to make methamphetamine were found on a Greenville golf course.
Authorities say someone at Donaldson Center Golf Course found several buckets in the woods by the links around 11:40 a.m. Thursday.
Investigators say the buckets were brought back to the clubhouse and opened, and the odor from them made several people sick. Deputies say paramedics were called, but didn't release the conditions of those sickened. The clubhouse was evacuated until the chemicals could be cleaned up.
Deputies say the chemicals in the buckets are used to make meth and they are investigating.

The Rhode Island State Police on Sunday morning identified the robbery suspect they arrested Saturday morning at a Warwick Dunkin' Donuts as Monchi Castillo of Springfield, Mass.
Their search continues on Sunday for a second suspect, one whom they suspect assisted Castillo with robberies early Saturday morning in Cranston and Coventry, according to a statement issued by Major Todd Catlow.
Castillo, 23, has been charged with first-degree robbery and second-degree robbery, conspiracy to commit both of those crimes, carrying a dangerous weapon while committing a violent crime and the possession of firearms by a criminal or fugitive.. He was arraigned at state police headquarters by Justice of the Peace Richard Raspallo, who ordered him held without bail pending a formal arraignment in District Court, Warwick on Monday.
Warwick and state police arrested Castillo after the local police received a report at 7:30 a.m. Saturday of a suspicious person at the Dunkin' Donuts at 1016 Centerville Rd.
Castillo is charged in connection with the robberies at 12:40 a.m. Saturday of the Shell gas station at 1207 Pontiac Ave. in Cranston and at 1:40 a.m. Saturday of the X-tra Mart convenience store at 851 Tiogue Ave. in Coventry.

Science fascinates me. Never mind that I could never make sense out of chemistry and physics, and that the mere mention of the periodic table causes flashbacks to my perpetually stoned high school chemistry teacher who made no sense. Science is cool.
I admit to being addicted to www.sciencedaily.com, which summarizes the latest in scientific research. It was where I learned about the study that tired people are perceived to look tired to others.
And now this … a new study has proven that Oreos are addictive. GASP! In fact, say researchers, Oreos activate significantly more neurons in the pleasure center of the brain than cocaine or morphine. "Our research supports the theory that high-fat/ high-sugar foods stimulate the brain in the same way that drugs do," said one researcher. "It may explain why some people can't resist these foods despite the fact that they know they are bad for them."
As further support for this theory, we need look no further than the mass hysteria caused by last year's news that Twinkies were dead, though they have since been resurrected. Statistics back this up as well, with 8.7 percent of the U.S. population abusing illicit drugs, compared to 79.2 percent who abuse Oreos.
This intriguing study revealed yet another startling fact. Using rats in a maze, researchers found that rats overwhelmingly preferred Oreos to rice cakes. I believe further research will find that this is because instead of lighting up the pleasure center of the brain, the rice cakes activate a little known portion of the brain called the why-am-I-eating-styrofoam lobe.
In case you were wondering, the study also found that rats prefer to open up their Oreos and eat the creamy filling first. Still unanswered, though, is whether the rats prefer their Oreos dry or dunked in a cold glass of milk. I'll keep you posted.

SIKESTON -- Recent weather events have made it clear: tornado season is back.
While bad weather can happen at any time, this area's tornado season typically runs from early March through late spring, according to Sgt. Jim McMillen, public information officer for the Sikeston Department of Public Safety.
Area residents should be aware that both tornadoes and flash flooding are more likely to occur during this time.
The National Weather Service and the State Emergency Management Agency are encouraging everyone to participate in their NOAA Weather Radio program.

When asked if there are any actors or directors that he would like to work with in the future, Sheehan keeps it Irish when revealing his list.
'Oh God, there are too many to name! There are so many people....but do you know who I met lately who I thought was a really interesting guy? John Michael McDonagh (writer/director of Ireland's biggest comedy last year, The Guard) so I would love to do something with him in the future...I like everything he is doing and just think he is an incredible writer and director. In acting...I have always loved the work of Cillian Murphy..I think he is a really great actor and has had an interesting career. He is a real believer in looking inside yourself when playing a character and has flourished playing strange, outsider sort of characters that are great to watch. He relishes playing them and I relish him relishing them! I actually seen him perform on stage recently enough and am just like a little girl when it comes to him....'Oh Cillian can I buy you a drink?'...can I comb your hair?!''
Sheehan has not ruled out the possibility of returning to the stage himself in the near future, a move that would indeed elate many Irish theatre lovers in New York City.

'Theatre is a really great experience, a really addictive buzz. I did Playboy of the Western World in the Old Vic in London and loved it. It's great having a crowd there and that was the Quintessential Irish play, the mothership of Irish theatre. I was actually on stage last Sunday too in Ireland in Vicar Street for Front Line Defenders, headed by Martin Sheen, where actors gave a collection of readings from people who have fought to defend human rights. It was a great cause and a great night so yeah I love the theatre. I think I could become something of a stage whore!'
It may be hard to believe given the large body of work that Robert Sheehan has contributed in his 24 years but the young actor actually does get time off and states that he loves to travel when he can.
'I just love travelling, I love going to different corners of the earth and figuring out as much as I can about this crazy world'.
Sheehan states that there will be a fourth season of Love/Hate but remains tight-lipped about whether or not he will be in it as his character's fate looks precariously bleak. The finale of Love/Hate will air this Sunday and The Mortal Instruments: The City of Bones is slated for a 2013 release with Sheehan starring alongside fellow Irishman Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
Here's the trailer for "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones":

It still rankles me that after we introduced civil partnerships many in the Labour Party sat back and thought 'job done' on gay rights.
It rankles even more that it will probably be the Coalition that will legislate to introduce it and not Labour, given our relative record of gay rights.
But it amuses me that Cameron's shallow 'modernisation' of the Tory Party will be so quickly exposed when over 100 Tory MPs vote against legislation to introduce gay marriage.
It's one thing to talk about modernisation, but when it actually comes to a vote it seems many, indeed over a third of the entire Parliamentary Conservative Party, are quite happy to deny to gay people what everyone else views as a standard right.
Still, credit where it's due must be given and I still wholeheartedly support Cameron and his Coalition for moving on the issue. But the idea that he properly modernised his party has always been nonsense and this will merely expose it.
Yes, Cameron apologised for Section 28, even with the lamest of excuses (it was an 'emotional issue' ! Honestly!), but his own MPs stayed quiet because they knew he had to do it to help win them an election, which he then failed to do. I'd love to know how many would be happy to bring it back.
Many more potential rebels will again vote with the government on the issue despite their personal feelings because they understand how bad it looks for the Tory Party in particular to vote against gay marriage.
So it may be that even with over a hundred rebels the true number of Tory MPs who oppose gay marriage is much higher.
Thankfully any such legislation will still easily get through Parliament through the support of the Labour Party, but it will diminish the victory for Cameron somewhat if he can only get gay marriage through the commons with the support of the Labour Party and in the teeth of opposition from many of his own MPs.

My First Job: Paula Patton
Paula Patton enjoyed the aroma of a fresh cup of Joe until she turned 17. At that time she took up a summer job at a Culver City, Calif. coffee shop.
It was the summer before her senior year of high school and she wanted some pocket money.
"It was gnarly, coffee smells good until you work in it for 12 hours a day. You get up really early in the morning, you'd smell like soured milk. I'm good at brewing coffee and swapping out the milk. It wasn't very interesting but it was my summer job," Patton said.
Although it was a minimum wage job, it allowed Patton to see movies right when they came out. The job also gave her gas money – something invaluable to a teen in Los Angeles.
Patton co-stars in the action-thriller "Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol."

The problem you lads are going to have, as does any club in our area and that's attracting good players to the North East....I know that the area can hardly be called the 'garden of England' but where else in the world can you climb a toxic slag heap in the morning, then swim in the crystal clear waters of Whitley bay in the afternoon and finish the day with a firework display launched from a rusty sheriffs badge.
Footballers eh ! fickle #$%$.
Evens n simpson for another year.Wes brown then solsker on a free.Nugent and/or ashston.Duff (i know but he will play for keane). Graveson and lennon,Barnes and there will be at least one signing that shocks the media and it could be van nistillroy

Definition of onslaught in English:
1A fierce or destructive attack: a series of onslaughts on the citadel
More example sentences
- From time immemorial there have been friendly migrations and unfriendly onslaughts on the Kerala society, mostly through the sea.
- Sabotage could range from pinprick attacks on individual weapons or machines to full-scale onslaughts on formed bodies of troops.
- For 15 minutes they made repeated onslaughts on the Ardclough defence and looked particularly dangerous on the right wing where Timmy Comerford and David Slattery were on constant prowl.
1.1An overwhelmingly large number of people or things: in some parks the onslaught of cars and people far exceeds capacity
More example sentences
- The reactions of Nature as a result of its exposure to the onslaughts of human societies have become more important in determining the fate of the human species than any harm it can inflict on itself.
- Steady onslaughts of slick visuals and hyped-up soundtracks are routine: another day, another few hundred commercials.
- Yet he also believes that the relentless media onslaught of 'perfect' male images has contributed.
Early 17th century (also in the form anslaight): from Middle Dutch aenslag, from aen 'on' + slag 'blow'. The change in the ending was due to association with (now obsolete) slaught 'slaughter'.

Characterization of Single-Shot Large-Signal Phenomena
Device and PA Circuit Level Validations
At DesignCon 2012 on Tuesday, January 31st, Tanner EDA, providers of software for the design, layout and verification of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (IC), participated in a panel session on analog and mixed-signal design moderated by Brian Bailey. The panel session, entitled "Is It Time for an Analog Comeback?," looked at how shrinking process nodes and high speed digital design are changing the very nature of digital design.
At one time it seemed as if analog was almost a thing of the past with designs converting analog signals into digital as quickly as possible, leaving only small amounts of analog off-chip. Today that analog circuitry has come on-chip. Radios and high-speed communications are now fully integrated; power-saving schemes are adding new types of analog content; signal integrity and high-speed issues often require analog analysis; and these are demanding better tools and flows to handle the mixed-signal aspects of a design. In addition, there are some parts of a design that operate at speeds greater than digital is capable of. With better tools, will the percentage of the chip consumed by analog increase again? Will the shrinking geometries cause even greater difficulties for analog?
Jeff Miller, Product Manager at Tanner EDA, represented the company on the five-person panel that also included Warren Savage, CEO of IPextreme; Mladen Nizic, Engineering Director for Mixed-Signal Solutions, Cadence; Harold Joseph, Director for PSOC Analog Marketing, Cypress Semiconductor; and Navaraj Nandra, Senior Director of Designware Marketing & Mixed-Signal IP, Synopsys.

Sorry for the triple post earlier. I swear I only clicked the post
button once. It was either Google, IE6 or some other bit of shoddy
If you're interested in the start of colour television, BMW motorcycles
or magic tricks, or all three, may I recommend the novel 'Carter Beats
The Devil'. Can't remember the author but it's an interesting read.
PAL is better than NTSC for one very simple reason: NTSC came first.
When PAL was created they learned from the mistakes of NTSC.
I do have a question though. What is the point of SECAM? All I know
about it is that the French use it (still?), that the picture is stored
in the same format as PAL but the colour in a different format.

Transferring 4MB file via Community Server can cause client disconnection
Technote (troubleshooting)
When a file larger than 4 MB is sent via the server the client gets disconnected.
As a defensive measure against a client attack, STMux counts consecutive
incoming messages sent from a client. If the count passes the predefined
threshold, the Mux will disconnect the client. By default the threshold
is 2000 messages. When a file is sent via the server (not
client-to-client), it is split by the client into chunks, where each
chunk is sent as a client message. Thus for files larger than 4 MB, more
then 2000 messages are sent, and the client gets disconnected.
Resolving the problem
For example, to allow 10 MB file transfer set the following flags in sametime.ini under [config] :
These flags change the threshold values. VPMX_THRESHOLD_SEND_MSG_COUNT
defines the threshold for messages of the type used (among other things)
when sending a file. While VPMX_THRESHOLD_MSG_COUNT defines the
threshold for all messages (both of the type mentioned and other of
types, such as channel creation and destruction messages).
The values mentioned here are derived as follows:
The client sends 2000-Byte-sized chunks. The default file size limit for transfer is 10,000 KB.
So the maximum possible amount of received messages during a file transfer would be
10,000 KB / 2000 B = 5120, and 5200 is chosen to slightly pad that value.
Also, The default threshold for messages of the other type (channel creation and
destruction) is 2000. So The threshold for all messages should be 5200 + 2000 = 7200.

Amelioration of vascular dysfunctions in diabetic rats by an oral PKC beta inhibitor.
Research Division, Joslin Diabetes Center, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02215, USA.
The vascular complications of diabetes mellitus have been correlated with enhanced activation of protein kinase C (PKC). LY333531, a specific inhibitor of the beta isoform of PKC, was synthesized and was shown to be a competitive reversible inhibitor of PKC beta 1 and beta 2, with a half-maximal inhibitory constant of approximately 5 nM; this value was one-fiftieth of that for other PKC isoenzymes and one-thousandth of that for non-PKC kinases. When administered orally, LY333531 ameliorated the glomerular filtration rate, albumin excretion rate, and retinal circulation in diabetic rats in a dose-responsive manner, in parallel with its inhibition of PKC activities.

Central Middlesex A&E Could Close By June
Friday 22nd February 2013
One of the four London Accident and Emergency departments - which are to be downgraded to Urgent Care Centres - is believed to be closing earlier than planned.
Central Middlesex Hospital is believed to be closing it's A&E in June.
Ealing, Hammersmith and Charing Cross hospitals are also due to have their departments downgraded but it was to take at least three years.
Labour MP for Hammersmith Andy Slaughter told LBC 97.3 it won't give campaigners a chance to appeal.
He said: "The last thing we want to see is some closing in the short-term for so-called operational reasons, which effectively achieves what the local NHS trust and the government want to do but without the proper scrutiny or the proper process to go through.
"I would ask the hospital trust as well as the NHS to honour the pledge that they have made to keep the A&Es open until the full appeals process has been gone through."

I would recommend suspending the graphical boot until something more SuSE like can be done. (Aside from the installer,) nobody thinks SuSE is geek chic at all...

Suggestions on a trip to the Alps this spring.
My GF REALLY wants to go to Europe this year, and I REALLY want to go snowboarding in the Alps. The trip is going to start Easter weekend, with Good Friday (March 29) being the first day we'll have for playing.
I'd love to hear some advice and/or resort suggestions from you folks.
Her interest is in learning to ski better (she's a beginner), and exploring the towns/mountains. She has no opinion on what mountain to hit. My interest is in-bounds trees, small cornices, and POWDER. I have no opinion on what country to hit.
So far I've looked into 3 resorts:
*Chamonix (France). She speaks French nearly fluently, and loves the culture. However, she's been there several times and will be there for work right before the trip so she'd prefer somewhere else. I personally don't care much for French culture - but I've heard amazing things about the mountain.
*Cortina d'Ampezzo (Italy). She is most interested in going to Italy- she's interested in the culture and experience. I've also heard that quality is lacking and that it's not a great place to ride as part of a vacation [from friends who recently did a trip to italy in the fall]. So I'm pushing against doing Italy on this trip.
* Arlberg (Austria). I feel most comfortable with Germanic culture because I speak the language and have spent some time in the region. I also hear the mountains are good, and I love the look of Tyrolian towns. She would also like to practice her study of the language here.
Thanks in advance!
Suggesting Kaprun - Zell am See, Austria. They have a 3000 meter Gletscher, so atleast u will be sure there is actually any snow :thumbsup:
On the gletscher there are 5 freeride routes to feed ur pow addiction.
I will drive there in 2 days :yahoo:
Cozmo - thanks for the suggestion. I will research it today. Have you been there before, and have you any suggestions on hotels?
I'm amazed to see that with exchange rates, the Alps resorts seem to all be $40 USD/day cheaper for lift tickets.
I'd suggest getting a small apartment, not a hotel. Just Google for apartment Kaprun :D In the low season it wouldn't be very expensive (around 500-600 euro for a week for a roomy 4 person app)
Lift tickets are 166 euro for 5 days, for three (Zell am See, Kaprun and a small family mountain) mountains.
If u wanna go to a more trendy, apres ski, luxurious and more expensive place check out Ischl.
I have no idea how the snow will be early April though. :dunno:
Add: I was there last year in February and ill be there again next week. I have no idea how it compares to US resorts but for European standards its pretty sweet.
Just be sure to hit a mountain that is snow sure, because sometimes on some mountains, there won't be enough snow left around Easter, which means no POW. Zell Am See is a good suggestion :)
Prices have been like this for atleast 8 years.
Maybe a few % increase every year.
Prices for Austrian and French lift tickets are around 40euro a day.
Switzerland is about one third more expensive, not just with lift passes but also apartments.
Lift prices are cheaper in Europe, always have been.
Switzerland is the most impressive place to visit IMO (Verbier if you can - fabulous resort), but it's also the most expensive (Austria generally being the cheapest, France and Italy somewhere inbetween).
Austria has the best aprés ski. Very friendly people and fairly inexpensive. St Anton is the place to go in Austria. Great skiing, great aprés ski. Zell and Kaprun offer a nice option (lots of tree runs at the lower levels in Zell and the glacier at Kaprun if snow is lacking).
Italy can be very good, depending on what you are looking for. Generally quiet slopes and beautiful scenery throughout (very rocky, lots of trees). Also the best mountain food anywhere. The Dolomites are beautiful but the resorts are generally lacking in terms of aprés ski. The Italians prefer to go home, get dressed up and mince around the towns later at night. People drive up from Milan, ski in the afternoons (but only if its sunny) and mostly go to hang out in the evenings.
Try Snow Reports, Snow Forecasts, Ski Resorts, Hotels and Ski Chalets, Ski Technique and Chat for info on European resorts. You can browse by country, resort, distance from airport, etc.
great info
Thanks for the info Mike. We'd been planning on doing Zell, but I'll keep St. Anton in mind. Regardless, I gotta fly in via Munich to rendezvous with the GF who is finished a business trip in Europe.
Any suggestion on the best way to rent gear (sports chains, or individual stores? Available on the mountain, or only in the towns?)
Don't disregard the areas available in Switzerland. I had the opportunity to board for a month in the Jungfrau ski area and it was amazing. There are about 3 to 4 different and massive resorts, all connected by a great tram and public transportation system. The great thing about the area is that a great deal of people there speak fluent English.
Instead of staying at the resorts, I opted to stay in Interlaken. It's a really nice, picturesque town that offers people a lot to do. I made sure to take advantage of that.....like ski diving the Swiss alps :)
It can be quite expensive but there are great deals to be had if you just look.
Half time I was there, I stayed at a decent place called hotel mattenhoff. Real friendly staff that serves great local beer.
Hotel Mattenhof Resort AG, Interlaken
It's attached to a hostel so you do meet a lot of different people
The other half was spend staying at the Victoria. Extremely expensive, but very nice, although in hindsight it would have been better for me to have stayed at mattenhoff...liked the people there better...hope that helps
