Final grades will be computed by giving equal weight to: discussion group participation, including
attendance and class participation (25%); out of class 3-5 page essay (25%); midterm exam (25%); final
exam (25%). Note: the final exam will not be cumulative, but will include material from
the midterm on.
Since we are aware that large lecture courses are not the optimum way for most people to learn, we have been very careful to design the discussion sections to be integrated into the course rather than optional add ons. Discussion sections provide an opportunity to clarify the issues under discussion for that week. If you are confused by the lecture, film, or reading, bring your questions to the discussion group. In addition to their strictly academic function, the discussion groups are also places where students may talk about the ways in which the topics we address in this course may have touched their lives. We expect you to have completed and thought about all of the readings for the week and come to discussion ready to engage in dialogue. Attendance and participation in discussion group is (25%) of the grade for this course.
Our assumption is that students are generally honest, but we will take necessary action against students who commit any infraction of University guidelines on academic honesty. Familiarize yourself with the section on academic honesty in the Undergraduate Rights and Responsibilities handbook. Pay particular attention to the section on plagiarism. Ignorance of these guidelines will not constitute a valid excuse for plagiarism.
Despite the size of this class, we are concerned about the quality of your experience. We will try to foster as much of your active participation as possible. Lectures will include time for questions and discussion sections have been designed to be an integral part of the course. All of us are available to meet with students individually during our office hours or by appointment. Make use of office hours to continue class discussion, clarify confusions or to discuss any other problems you may be having with the course. Because of the size of this class and the nature of the subject matter, it is necessary to have the following ground rules:

Betty Deuce and the Black Gloves
We haven't seen her majesty, Betty Deuce for some time. Here she greets a guest with a mysteriously sexy look, after a Buckingham Palace ballroom performance by Nutkhut (that's right, Nutkhut), a British-Asian dance troupe. The guy who stands behind Betty apparently has a crappy job.
In related royal news, there hasn't been a Camilla sighting for over a month, leading me to wonder if her hair is broken.

Two horses are dead after a fire at a barn in Northern Kentucky.
Firefighters were called to the 2600 block of Petersburg Road about 3:30 p.m. Thursday.
A Hebron Fire Department captain said six other horses were outside the barn at the time of the fire and were not injured.
The two horses that died were being boarded at the barn, the owner said.
About 40 percent of the barn was damaged in the fire. Flames could be seen shooting into the air.
The owner told firefighters that he wasn't home at the time of the fire and several kids who saw the flames tried unsuccessfully to get the horses out.
Firefighters have not said what caused the fire.

Rectal prolapse repair is surgery to fix a rectal prolapse. This is a condition in which the last part of the colon (called the rectum) sticks out through the anus.
Rectal prolapse may be partial, involving only the mucosa. Or it may be complete, involving the entire wall of the rectum.
For most adults, surgery is used to repair the rectum because there is no other effective treatment.
Children with rectal prolapse do not always need surgery, unless their prolapse does not improve over time. In infants, prolapse often disappears without treatment.
Most surgical procedures for rectal prolapse are done under general anesthesia. For older or sicker patients, epidural or spinal anesthesia may be used.
There are three basic types of surgery to repair rectal prolapse. Your surgeon will decide which one is best for you.
For healthy adults, an abdominal procedure has the best chance of success. While you are under general anesthesia, the doctor makes a surgical cut in the abdomen and removes a portion of the colon. The rectum may be attached (sutured) to the surrounding tissue so it will not slide and fall out through the anus. Sometimes, a soft piece of mesh is wrapped around the rectum to help it stay in place. These procedures can also be done with laparoscopic surgery (also known as keyhole or telescopic surgery).
For older adults or those with other medical problems, an approach through the anus (perineal approach) might be less risky. It might also cause less pain and lead to a shorter recovery. But with the perineal approach, the condition is more likely to come back (recur).
One of the surgical repairs through the anus involves removing the prolapsed rectum and colon and then suturing the rectum to the surrounding tissues. This procedure can be done under general, epidural, or spinal anesthesia.
Very frail or sick patients may need a smaller procedure that reinforces the sphincter muscles. This technique encircles the muscles with a band of soft mesh or a silicone tube. This approach provides only short-term improvement and is rarely used.
Risks of anesthesia include the following:
Risks of this surgery include the following:
During the 2 weeks before your surgery:
The day before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
How long you stay in the hospital depends on the procedure. The average stay for open abdominal procedures is 5 to 8 days. You will go home sooner if you had laparoscopic surgery. The average stay for perineal surgery is 2 to 3 days.
You should make a complete recovery in 4 to 6 weeks.
The surgery usually works well at repairing the prolapse. Constipation and incontinence can be problems for some patients.

His flag-waving, troop-rallying smash "Have You Forgotten?" rockets Darryl Worley to stardom after a lifetime of surprising day jobs and small-town struggle
Cruising down the California highway on his tour bus, Darryl Worley ponders how strange his life has become. Only two years ago, he was just another struggling singer trying unsuccessfully to get a hit. Now his patriotic smash "Have You Forgotten?" has spent seven weeks at No. 1, his second hit to reach the top.
In fact, the song has become a phenomenon, embraced by the U.S. military -- whose mission in Afghanistan inspired it -- and Pres. George W. Bush. It reigned atop radio playlists, waving like a flag, during the war in Iraq. Darryl has been honored in the Tennessee General Assembly and introduced onstage by U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Propelled by its title track, his Have You Forgotten? CD, a mixture of new songs with tunes from Darryl's first two albums, also went to No. 1, and his summer tour has become a hot ticket.
"It's just about the most surreal thing that's ever happened in my life," laughs Darryl, shivering a little on his always-chilly bus. "When you go through all the sacrifices you go through to get a music career going, it's like reaching for the stars. So when something like this happens, you're like, 'No, wait a minute, this can't be real.' "
But it is, and Darryl credits his relative levelheadedness amid the whirlwind of sudden fame to his age and experience -- at 38, he's a good decade older than most new stars. The tall Tennessean -- who towers above most crowds at 6 feet 6 inches -- played local clubs for years while working at a wide range of day jobs (see sidebar) before finally getting his foot in Nashville's door.
"There's no doubt that's been an asset for me," he says. "I believe the good Lord had His hand in that. I think He knew some of my struggles and weaknesses, and waited until He saw that I was ready for the opportunity. I'm thankful for that, because there was a time when I might have messed it all up."

There's No Such Thing As a Good Stereotype
Stereotypes are bad. It's a lesson we all learned in a 4th grade assembly through an excruciatingly uncool performance by a collegiate theater group. But though society does a nice job teaching the dangers of negative stereotypes, characterizations that might be considered "positive" stereotypes tend to elicit less vigilance. Sure, the 4th grade teacher always poses a provocative question about Asians being good at math, but for the most part people don't expend social capital fighting non-defamatory generalizations.
In the esteemed words of Gob Bluth, we may have made a huge mistake. Because positive stereotypes seem relatively harmless, they are less likely to arouse skepticism and more likely to be accepted. Yet at the core of every positive stereotype there remains the toxic idea that group differences are biological, genuine, and static. The same idea resides at the core of all negative stereotypes. Might it be possible that positive stereotype reinforce this idea, and thus make it more likely that people will be open to negative stereotypes?
This was the reasoning behind a new study led by Duke's Aaron Kay. In two initial experiments Kay and his team gave participants fake scientific articles that described how African-Americans were either more athletic (positive stereotype) or less intelligent (negative stereotype) than White people. The researchers found that articles establishing a positive stereotype were less likely than those establishing a negative stereotype to trigger skepticism and arouse a negative reaction. Using the same design, a third experiment (and a replication!) found that the positive stereotype was also more likely than the negative stereotype to make people believe the differences between African-Americans and Whites are due to biological factors.
But it's the fourth and final experiment that was most telling. Participants began by reading another phony scientific article that either described how African-Americans are more athletic (positive stereotype), or more violent (negative stereotype). As a control, a third group read an unrelated article. Participants were then asked to rate a series of personality profiles, some of which were for people who had stereotypically African-American names. These ratings included items such as how likely it was that the people in the profiles would cheat or commit a crime. The researchers found that participants who had been exposed to the positive stereotype were more likely than those in the other two groups to say the African-Americans would cheat or commit a crime. The finding bears repeating. People who learned that African-Americans are athletic were more likely than people who learned that African-Americans are violent to say that an African-American would commit a crime. In other words, positive stereotypes are dangerous:
These types of stereotypes may be uniquely capable at reinforcing cultural stereotypes and beliefs that people explicitly eschew as racist and harmful – even more so than exposure to explicitly negative stereotypes.
The findings are troubling given society's laissez faire attitude toward positive stereotypes, but it is possible to combat the influence of all stereotypes by propagating the understanding that nobody is a slave to their biology. In that sense the study ties in nicely to the bevy of research demonstrating the benefits of believing that people are capable of changing deep-rooted characteristics (i.e. having a "growth mindset"). I've belabored this point with regard to learning, but believing that people can change is also beneficial when it comes to losing weight and improving relations between different ethnic and racial groups.
The good news is that, as I've argued before, it's not that hard to find ways to teach this mindset in school. No extra time or training in necessary — all we have to do is emphasize the lessons of growth and malleability that exist in stories and curricula that are already being used in schools.

Even athletic differences? Really?
Brandy Ward permalinkDecember 8, 2012
I agree with the fact that it is possible that people can change their mindset. It's not just in the cultural areas of stereotyping though. There are positive and negative stereotypes involved in alot of different areas. For instance, people think that people with schizophrenia are more dangerous when in fact they're not. We are raised in homes or schools where words are thrown around like they're "crazy" or "weird" when someone has a true phobia or disorder. Alot of people think that others with O.C.D. have it made because they're so neat when in reality they are compelled and most of the time can't stand it. I've seen plenty of times things are said in the schools and they could use that particular time to teach them when an oppotunity arises.

Anyway, I put myself so much onto that new "life". The appartment was the big step and I wanted to find THE perfect appartment, even if it's only renting. And this was the one. White and pure walls, simple floors, modern kitchen and a bathtub (what would a good life be without some bubbles and some champagne huh?). It is also in the details, like this door for exemple. Or the old fireplace.
The second step was finding furniture. And shopping for design is even more exciting than shopping for clothing ! Who would have thought so ? Not me.
So if you are about to move, moving or you wish to, you'll enjoy those new articles I plan to write to show you how that empty space gets furnished.
Meanwhile, here is were I get inspired : Pinterest

They need to make sure that udev cciss rules match with the kernel

We need to think about the best way to map (expose) logical and

how HP SCSI driver does.

As Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford approached the line, he announced his intention, and the Dallas Cowboys believed him.
"I was yelling that I was going to spike the ball," Stafford said. "But their linebackers were just standing there."
So instead of killing the clock for an extra snap, Stafford plunged over the line with 12 seconds remaining to rally the Lions to a 31-30 victory Sunday.
"He kind of caught us off-guard," defensive tackle Jason Hatcher acknowledged.
The Cowboys weren't just standing around letting Calvin Johnson make catch after catch, but he made them look helpless anyway, catching 14 passes for 329 yards. Only Flipper Anderson has had more receiving yards in a game, going for 336 for the Los Angeles Rams in 1989.
"It was crazy," Johnson said. "We had a lot of one-on-one coverage today, and we were able to take advantage and hit some deep balls. Matt made some great throws to me."
Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant was seen screaming on the sideline at the end of a third-quarter series, but quarterback Tony Romo downplayed the scene.
"He's a competitive guy. He never complained to me about getting the ball. He knows that the ball is going to where it's supposed to," Romo said. "When you guys see emotion sometimes from Dez, it's just trying to rah-rah, more than it is being a 'me' guy. That's not who Dez is."
Record book
Minnesota Vikings rookie Cordarrelle Patterson set the NFL record for longest kickoff return, a 109-yard touchdown to start the game against Green Bay.
Three players shared the previous mark of 108 yards.
Brady hears boos
The boos poured on Tom Brady and the Patriots at the end of a horrible first half, though New England rallied from a 14-point halftime deficit to beat Miami 27-17.
The Patriots (6-2) came back despite a mediocre performance by Brady, who completed more than half his passes for only the fifth time in eight games. But his 116 yards passing were the second fewest in a game he played most of the way in since 2006.
"I know a lot of people are frustrated," Brady said, but "to be 6-2 is not bad."
Shanahan returns
Washington coach Mike Shanahan received a hero's welcome in his first game in Denver since his firing by the Broncos five years ago.
More than 75,000 fans got to their feet before kickoff to salute the man who brought the city its two Super Bowl wins in his 14 seasons as coach. The Broncos showed a 32-second tribute to Shanahan on their giant video screen before kickoff. Shanahan waved to the crowd before falling to his former team 45-21.
"It's very easy to get kind of fired up, especially coming back here and wanting to win the football game," Shanahan said.
Chiefs improve to 8-0
The Kansas City Chiefs (8-0) know they're going to get the opposing team's best shot every time they step on the field. That comes with being the NFL's lone unbeaten team.
"We love it," quarterback Alex Smith said after a 23-17 victory over the Cleveland Browns. "You want the stages to get bigger. That's why you put all the work in. You want this opportunity. You want that honor."
Injury watch
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick returned from a two-game absence because of an ailing hamstring, but he didn't last long. The injury forced him out of the loss to the New York Giants late in the second quarter.
"I feel fine right now," Griffin said afterward, noting he didn't need any further medical tests.
Broncos safety Duke Ihenacho left because of an ankle injury.

By Ms. Rachel Newton (AMC)June 17, 2013
Rev. David and Rev. Edna Morgan are no strangers to helping people when it comes to serving their community. Whether it is serving as co-founders and spiritual leaders with their non-profit organization, Healing Place Ministries, or working with crime victims and youth. This husband and wife team is a true example of leadership and volunteerism in Pine Bluff. Now another opportunity to help their community has come their way -- serving as chaplains to Pine Bluff Arsenal.
The Morgan's were introduced to the Arsenal workforce at the annual Safety Stand Down Day May 9.
As chaplains for the Arsenal, the Morgan's will be available on a volunteer basis if there is a need. We want to be as supportive as possible during this time of furlough and scarcity across the United States. We want to help people and be a support system," said Edna.
David said that most of his time is spent during the week with crime victim's advocacy. "I have some flexibility, and what I am hoping I can do is rotate my time. I plan to be here at the Arsenal at least once a week to meet with people and be a presence," he said. "This is just what I am thinking.
Edna, who retired from Arkansas Regional Labs, located at the National Center for Toxicological Research, with 26 years of service, said that she would be spending one day a week at the installation just like her husband. "The Arsenal's Employee Assistance Program is finding a place for us but I think we will be more effective if we are allowed to roam and meet with the people in common areas," she said. "That way they get to know our faces and get to know us. We can hear some life stories and build relationships."
Under the Healing Place Ministries umbrella, the primary part of the Morgan's organization is serving as advocates for seniors (persons 50 and older), especially those who are crime victims. "We connect them with existing services in the community, such as legal and medical. We also do one-on-one counseling," said David.
In addition to support groups, the ministry has hosted a summer camp for children in the community, ages seven to 14, for eight years.
"When we initially started the camp, it was our intent to reach out to at-risk and disadvantaged children. However, more we thought about it, we had to say that all of our children are at-risk," said David. "They come for one week, and during the camp, we provide workshops on anger management, self-esteem, how to make good choices, nutrition, etc. We even teach the kids archery and there is a pond on site. We run it like a day camp because most of the children we serve cannot afford to go off for the summer."
David, a 22-year Navy veteran, completed a year chaplaincy program in 2003 at Jefferson Regional Medical Center in Pine Bluff, serves as an industrial chaplain for Central Maloney in Pine Bluff. He is also the senior pastor of St. Mark United Methodist Church in Pine Bluff. Edna, who is a member of the Bluff Center Chapter of Federally Employed Women, completed her clinical pastoral education as a chaplain in 2005 at JRMC, and became a nationally certified chaplain in 2008. Both serve as motivational speakers in the community.

– The Capitol Hill Times –
Hot drinks are a necessity to ward off the cold during a Seattle winter, and there are plenty of bars and restaurants on Capitol Hill where you can warm up your body temperature. However, there is an art to making a good hot drink. For example, hot chocolate has to be made with milk, not water and preferably with dutch coca powder. After trudging through the rain, I found some of the best hot drinks our neighborhood has to offer, all made with quality ingredients and care.
Columbian Hot Chocolate
The Confectional
618 Broadway East
Owner Paul Verano created this recipe for this thick sipping chocolate – a mix of spices that are a closely guarded secret and stirred together with Ghirardelli chocolate and milk. Speaking from experience, it is rich enough to warrant ordering a small, and I am a die-hard chocolate fan. A small shaker filled with cayenne pepper is available on the counter to add a kick to your drink.
The Hot Dickens Cider
928 12th Avenue
Recently voted the best bar on Capitol Hill, this small whiskey and bitters emporium has the feel of an old timey bar. Candles flicker behind the vast selection of alcohol that lines two wall-to-ceiling shelves behind the bar. The Hot Dickens Cider is concocted from gin, apple cider and allspice. It is the perfect drink to welcome in the holidays.
The Bullet
Liberty Bar
517 15th Avenue East
This off-the-menu cocktail by Liberty bartender Nathan Quiroga is everything you want in a hot drink. A combination of honey, Averna and Green Charteuse warms up your stomach with one sip. It is a well-balanced cocktail that is anything but simple on the palate. Botanical and bittersweet are two ways to describe The Bullet. If you are feeling adventurous, wander into Liberty and ask one of the many talented bartenders to make you a custom cocktail. You won't be disappointed.
Buffalo Cider
Knee High Stocking Company
1356 E. Olive Way
This is not your typical bar. It's a speakeasy, which means you need to send a text to the hostess before you can even enter the establishment. If you do get past the silver door, the small plates of food and the impressive cocktail list will make the exclusivity worth it. The Buffalo Cider is made with Buffalo trace, which has a sweet vanilla oak flavor that pairs well with the apple cider.
Espresso Vivace Roasteria
532 Broadway Avenue East
This wouldn't be a proper Capitol Hill drink list without featuring at least one coffee-infused item. Vivace is known for their latte art and their freshly roasted coffee beans. The spacious interior on Broadway is a haven for young twenty somethings. Their fingers tapping away on their laptop keyboards add to the soundtrack of Jimi Hendrix blasting over the speakers. While the latte is a standard drink, Vivace makes it with great care. Theirs features incredibly smooth steamed milk and a nice tart note in the finish.

Toddler sweater made in bulky yarn in one piece?

Toddler sweater made in bulky yarn in one piece?
I was wondering if anyone could help me find a pattern.
I'm going to make my first sweater and I think I'm going to make one for my toddler (he wears around a 4T).
I'd like to use bulky yarn, something like Classic Elite Paintbox (3 stitches to the inch).
Can anyone help me find a pattern? It doesn't need to be free, but it needs to be readily available (on the Internet or something my LYS will carry, she mainly carries mainstream stuff).
I'd like a readily available pattern so that I can go to the LYS at lunch today and start on it!
It would really help me adjust to working FT again, I think, and being away from my son, if I was doing something for him during the day. If that makes any sense. (I'm getting divorced and that's why I went from being a SAHM to working FT and being a single mama).
TIA for any suggestions!!

UK government plans to restrict the number of students entering the UK, and restricting employment visas for graduates, could be damaging to the growing popularity of UK graduate business degrees, according to GMAC, the the US-based Graduate Management Admissions Council, which administers the GMAT test.
Though the past five years has seen business schools in Europe become an increasingly popular destination for international students choosing to study an MBA, this growth could be curtailed if potential UK students cannot get visas, says Julia Tyler, executive vice-president of GMAC.
"The UK attracts more MBAs from around the world than anywhere else in Europe," says Ms Tyler. "Three factors will be critical if this is to continue: quality of business schools, access to funding and visas for study and work. Should the proposed UK visa system reform take effect, this could have a significant impact on the competitiveness of UK business schools."
The concerns are the latest expressed in the UK business school industry about government plans to restrict student visas and to remove the automatic right for all non-EU graduates to work in the UK for two years on graduation. Both the UK industry bodies, the Association of MBAs and the Association of Business Schools, along with many UK business schools, submitted their concerns in writing to the Border Agency as part of its consultative process which ended in January.
According to the latest study from GMAC, 11 per cent of aspiring students who took the GMAT in 2010 had those scores sent to European schools, compared to 7.5 per cent in 2006. In total, European business schools received 85,262 score reports from people who took the GMAT exam in 2010, up 90 per cent from the 45,079 score reports test takers sent to European institutions in 2006.

The Secret Miracle
by Jorge Luis Borges
The Secret Miracle Religion Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Paragraph)
Quote #7
He remembered that the dreams of men belong to God and that Maimonides had written that the words of a dream, when they are clear and distinct and one cannot see who spoke them, are holy. (8)
Jaromir's reference to Maimonides, a famous Jewish philosopher of the Middle Ages, hints that maybe God really was speaking to him in his dream. Yikes.
Quote #8
He had asked God for an entire year in which to finish his work; God in His omnipotence had granted him a year. God had performed for him a secret miracle. (13)
For Jaromir, the suspension of time is an act of God. Is there any other way to interpret it?

The Great Debates Revisited: Timothy Naftali
Third Debate: Roundtable Q&A
Tuesday, October 12, 2010
8:30pm @ Plaza Branch
American life changed forever in 1960 when Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kennedy ushered politics into the multimedia age with the first televised presidential debates.
This third event in a series called The Great Debates Revisited features a screening of the third presidential debate between Kennedy and Nixon, with introductory commentary and a post-screening Q&A session led by Timothy Naftali.
Nixon was attributed the win for this debate, which continued the prior foreign policy argument. Perhaps more importantly, the third debate is the only contest in which the candidates argued without a direct personal confrontation as they appeared in separate television studios – Kennedy in New York and Nixon in Los Angeles.
Timothy Naftali is the director of the Nixon Presidential Library & Museum. A former history professor at the University of Virginia, he is the author of four books, including Blind Spot: The Secret History of American Counterterrorism. His articles have appeared on Slate.com, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Foreign Affairs.
The Kansas City Public Library, the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum, and the Truman Library Institute present The Great Debates Revisited to commemorate the 50th anniversary of this landmark moment in American political history.
Henry Fonda goes public in his support for JFK in this 1960 campaign spot. Get a full dose of classic JFK and Kennedy campaign commercials this Tuesday as The Great Debates Revisited continues.

"Central problems of a common aesthetic and history of musical materiality are taken as the starting point for the individual concepts in the four new Polwechsel pieces. The works reinterpret this aesthetic from the perspective of the different approaches of the musicians. However, Traces of Wood is definitely not only about the traces that shared musical material and different personal styles leave in the respective work. It is above all about reflecting the common history that, clearly audible, has been deposited in the materials, personal styles and compositions, and this history is revisited in every nuance of the music... Traces of Wood is a discourse that follows a double movement. It is the sum of a collective effort, and multiplies the results that can be drawn from this sum." (Matthias Haenisch)

In the Interest of a Free World
Imagine for a second, if you will, a world dominated by celebrity glossies and Rupert Murdoch newspapers. We don't blame you if you're running fast out of your horrific little imagination right about now; we would be, too, so we just conveniently skipped the aforementioned exercise. Sadly though, that scary scene right there could be the reality if independent publishing one day ceases to exist, which, along with the catastrophic effects of climate change, would possibly make life not worth living. And so in the interest of maintaining our will to wake up in the morning, we will definitely be supporting online Sydney mag Kluster at their fundraiser tomorrow night, and you should too if you're anything like us (or more awesome than us. Either one.).
State of the Art will feature live, interactive art by emerging Sydney artists, music provided by DJs and The Border Thieves, silent auctions, giveaways, and, of course, beer. It's all about supporting the city's emerging arts community and the platforms that so generously present it. If you're still on the fence, read our feature with Kluster's editor, Kat Hartmann, from way back when to get appropriately inspired.
The event is on from 7.30pm at Helen Rose-Schausberger Laboratorium, Level 1, 17 Waterloo Street in Surry Hills. Be sure to RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com. Since it's a fundrasier, it is recommended that you bring funds. Suggested donation is $15, and while that covers the free bevvies, you can bring your own too if you're a picky alcy.

New CEO after failed deal
Warsaw – Polish insulin and antibiotics maker Bioton S.A. has shuffled its management board after announcing that an expected deal failed to materialise. In mid-January, after Prokom Investments (Gdynia) proved unable to sell its 33.3% stake in Bioton to Jerzy Starak's Polpharma, the company's share price went on a rollercoaster ride as shareholders tried to come to grip with the news, swinging up and down by as much as 40% in trading.
The latest news was accompanied by a communiqué detailing the retirement of Bioton CEO Adam Wilczega, who will remain on its board as Vice-President. "The most important issue is to regain the trust of investors," said new CEO and Board President Janusz R. Guy. Guy declared that he will verify the structure of the company's portfolio and focus on products that are guaranteed to grow in value.
According to local media, Bioton needs a EUR 20m investment to survive. At the end of January, Prokom Investments – Bioton's largest investor – agreed to provide a cash injection of approximately a11m until the end of the year.

It's always amazing how liberals seem to be living in some sort of fiscal never never land when it comes to taxes. Last week, Rick Howell gave us an example of this in "The Liberal Agenda" as he took Governor Bob McDonnell to task for not proposing new taxes to pay for transportation projects.
Barack Obama has been president for a year, now, and it's been an interesting year.
When he first took the oath of office, I was concerned that the "Democrats" would get a bright idea. Hey, we have a guy who is so popular, he could be elected to a third or fourth term, just like Franklin Roosevelt. Lets' get rid of that pesky ol' 22nd Amendment that limits presidents to a maximum of two terms.
In agreement
Thank you Brenda Babb for your letter concerning the bust of Joseph Stalin being brought to the D-Day Memorial.
I'm convinced that most of the people in Bedford are in agreement with you. To honor such a man along with those who served this country is unthinkable. By doing so you are bringing dishonor to all the names of our service men written there.
Think again before you act.
Ouida Witt
Last week, an unspeakable tragedy shook Central Virginia. Christopher Speight is accused of killing eight people near his home in Appomattox County, including three teenagers and his four-year-old nephew. The 24 hours surrounding these horrific events are frightening to say the least, but also a testament to the bravery and skillfulness of our Virginia police force.
Since the 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit on January 12th, the world has
tearfully witnessed the devastation unfold in Haiti, the poorest country
in the Western Hemisphere. The images of newly motherless children,
people trapped under fallen buildings, and deceased Haitians lying in
the streets have moved Americans into action. Across our nation we have
rallied to help the people of Haiti - gathering together supplies to
donate to relief efforts, hosting fundraisers to send money, and coming
As the second week of the legislative session began, our newly inaugurated Governor, Bob McDonnell, quickly got down to business. In an address to a joint session of the General Assembly on Martin Luther King Day, he laid out his priorities. As stated during his campaign, he made clear that job creation and economic growth would be the chief focus of his new administration for the year ahead.
Virginia now has a new governor in Robert Francis McDonnell. If the state's roads and highways could make audible sounds, we would probably hear them moaning.
It's pretty clear that this governor has no serious intention of doing much of anything about the pressing transportation problem in this state.
Outgoing Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine should be ashamed.

There are other, and, in my opinion, better ways of doing this. For
example, a webserver can host many sites, managed by different users,
there could be many databases per server, etc.

Not necessarily. This depends on how heavily the database servers are

Most likely you could go to way fewer servers without virtualization,
if you could make your apps coexist within one OS.

CONTACT: Allison Engel 213/740-1927 [email protected]Download PDF Listeners often say that Classical KUSC's music transports them to a happier place, and now it literally will be true. Starting Aug. 23, weekday afternoon announcer Rich Capparela will be broadcasting Fridays from his home studio in Santa Monica, where he has an elevated view of the sparkling Pacific Ocean.His new show, "KUSC at the Beach," will serve as an escape to the weekend, said USC Radio vice president Bill Lueth, who oversees programming and came up with the idea. On Fridays, Capparela's regular 4 - 7 p.m. classical music program will include information about concerts and events taking place over the weekend throughout the Southland. His program's famed "Classical Anti-Road Rage Melody" will still air at 5 p.m., along with other musical selections and requests.Classical KUSC's programs normally are broadcast from studios in the AT&T Building in downtown Los Angeles. For the new show, Capparela will be broadcasting from a professional soundproof studio he had installed in a former bedroom in his 1920s condo. Sitting in the booth, on a clear day he can see the ocean from Palos Verdes on the south to Point Dume on the north. Classical KUSC engineers are using cutting-edge technology to send his broadcast over the Internet instead of over telephone lines."The afternoon show with Rich has always been a great way to wind down after a busy day," said Lueth. "A classical show with that beach frame of mind sounded especially relaxing."Said Capparela: "The Pacific is one of L.A.'s greatest assets, and it's a natural to locate a weekend-oriented show here." He continued: "I believe that there is such a thing as classical music, L.A. style. We don't take ourselves too seriously in this neck of the woods. At the same time, we are in the middle of a dynamic renaissance for classical music here in Southern California, and I hope that 'KUSC at the Beach' will help reflect that vibrancy."Capparela, one of the best-known classical music radio personalities in the nation, announces concert broadcasts for the Pacific Symphony. He has performed as a narrator for classical pieces at Carnegie Hall and with the Boston Pops.He also has beach bona fides. Capparela is a regular on the boogie board, has been a scuba instructor and led diving tours to the Caribbean and the Fiji Islands. Listeners in Los Angeles and Santa Clarita can hear the program at 91.5 FM. In Palm Springs, it is on KPSC at 88.5 FM. The frequency for KDSC in Thousand Oaks is 91.1 FM, and it is 88.7 FM at KQSC in Santa Barbara and 99.7 FM at KESC in Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo. Listeners living anywhere else in the world can listen to the sonatas by the sand – and all of the station's programming –in a live stream online at kusc.org. Classical KUSC is one of the largest and most listened to classic music stations in the country. The listener-supported, nonprofit public station has been on the air for more than 60 years as a broadcast service of the University of Southern California. Classical KUSC is located in downtown Los Angeles and broadcasts hand-picked commercial-free classical performances, expert music commentary and coverage of the arts in Southern California. The station is the broadcast home of the LA Philharmonic, LA Opera, LA Master Chorale, LA Chamber Orchestra, Pacific Symphony and the USC Thornton School of Music, among other Southern California musical institutions. USC Radio also operates Classical KDFC in San Francisco, which broadcasts as far north as Napa/Sonoma, as far south as the South Bay and Peninsula, and online at kdfc.com. Every week, more than 1 million Californians listen to the two USC Radio classical stations.PHOTO: Rich Capparela (Photo by Allison Engel/USC)
Almost 70% of what it takes to stay on the air comes from listeners just like you!

finished product film
last night at 03.45 i finished the design for the latest product movie for H. we recorded the VO last thursday, then i sat down to do the design last friday, but realized it needed new music, so i took two days to compose that. then i started with the visuals. it was slow going at the beginning, because i had to pre-make elements and gather pieces from all over the storage. so i was pretty sure the whole job would take me till tomorrow evening, but instead i finished it last night. so i'm only two days behind my schedule, and one day ahead of when i promised delivery. client leaves for vienna on tuesday.
