Maxygen and Astellas Pharma have formed a joint venture (JV) to take over R&D of Maxygen's protein therapeutics. Substantially all the company's related R&D assets, technologies, operations, and personnel will be transferred to the JV. As a result, Maxygen plans to downsize corporate and administrative staff including senior management.
Maxygen and Astellas will each contribute $10 million to the JV. Maxygen will have an 83% ownership interest, but Astellas has the option to buy Maxygen's stake in the JV over the next three years. The exercise price will increase each quarter from $53 million to $123 million.
This comes about eight months after Maxygen reported that it was letting go of 30% of its employees and putting its lead candidate, MAXY-G34 in Phase IIa trials for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, on hold to focus on the MAXY-4 program. This program, which is in preclinical development for rheumatoid arthritis, will now be transferred to the JV along with other preclinical assets. Additionally, Maxygen has granted the JV certain licenses to use its MolecularBreeding™ technology platform and ancillary protein-expression technologies.
As part of the joint venture arrangement, the JV and Astellas entered a collaboration under which Astellas will fund substantially all the costs over the three-year option term related to the discovery, research, and development by the JV. This is estimated to be about $30 million and does not include expenses related to MAXY-4, which is the lead candidate. Astellas will be granted an option to obtain a license to one product developed by the JV under this collaboration arrangement, exercisable only if Astellas does not exercise its buy-out option.
The MAXY-4 program will be funded by Astellas and the JV under the terms of the partnership formed between Astellas and Maxygen. This includes development and commercialization of MAXY-4 program candidates for autoimmune diseases and transplant rejection.
If Astellas does not exercise its buy-out option, Astellas will be required to provide up to 18 months of transition funding to the JV in the form of revolving loans of up to $20 million on preagreed terms if the MAXY-4 collaboration agreement between the joint venture and Astellas remains in force.
The consummation of this transaction is expected in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of 2009. "Today's announcement largely completes a multi-year strategic process to position Maxygen's programs and assets in collaborations and other arrangements that are primarily supported by external parties," said Isaac Stein, the executive chairman of the board of directors of Maxygen.
"We intend to restructure and downsize Maxygen's corporate and administrative staff and expenses to best align the company's operations with its future business needs," Stein adds. "As a part of this process and following an appropriate transition period after the closing of the joint venture transaction, we also expect Maxygen's current senior management team—Russell Howard, Larry Briscoe, and Elliot Goldstein—will be leaving the company."
In addition to its majority ownership of the joint venture, Maxygen will retain approximately $200 million in cash, its MAXY-G34 program (including the previously announced licensing arrangement with Cangene for acute radiation syndrome), a 22% ownership interest in Codexis, its MolecularBreeding™ platform and intellectual property portfolio, and a vaccine discovery program.

Consulting group Temkin Group said Wednesday that a study of 10,000 U.S. consumers put Southwest Airlines at the top among airlines in a ranking of the best customer experience. At the bottom was US Airways for the third straight year.
Here are the rankings, expressed as a percentage of consumers who rated the companies on functional, accessible and emotional factors:
Airline Score Change from 2013
Southwest Airlines 71% +3 pts
Alaska Airlines 65% -3 pts
Delta Air Lines 63% 0 pts
American Airlines 62% +8 pts
United Airlines 61% +6 pts
JetBlue Airlines 60% -4 pts
AirTran Airways 56% -9 pts
US Airways 52% +7 pts
Last year, Southwest Airlines was tied for first with Alaska. But Alaska slipped three percentage points and Southwest improved three points.
"Southwest does a great job with customer experience and continues to set the bar for airlines," Bruce Temkin, managing partner of Temkin Group, said in the firm's announcement.
The biggest decrease, though, was posted by AirTran Airways, a Southwest subsidiary, down 9 percentage points from its 2013 score.
While American Airlines still trails Southwest Airlines by a significant margin, its score improved 8 percentage points from its 2013 score.
Temkin Group considers scores above 70 percent to be good and scores above 80 percent to be excellent.
Here's how the consulting firm develops the scores, and we quote:
To generate these ratings, Temkin Group asked consumers to evaluate their experiences with a company across three dimensions: functional (can you do what you want to do?); accessible (how easy is it to work with the company?) and emotional (how do you feel about the interactions?). Temkin Group then averaged these three scores to produce a company's Temkin Experience Rating.

TrustedInstaller.exe is used by or it's by itself a Windows Vista service - Windows Module Installer. You cannot use Windows update if this file is missing - error code 80070424.
Click here to fix TrustedInstaller.exe related errors and optimize Windows performance.
Windows 7, Vista, XP (32 & 64bit compatible)
Tested Adware & Spyware Free
Fix trustedinstaller.exe – Missing file Issue and 100% CPU issue
What is TrustedInstaller.exe?
TrustedInstaller.exe is used by or it's by itself a Windows Vista service – Windows Module Installer. The file is small and its location is C:\Windows\servicing\TrustedInstaller.exe. As its name implies – Trusted Installer has rights over essential Windows Vista programs and applications. Only after the approval from TrustedInstaller.exe, a service or program is allowed by the OS to use the needed system resources – CPU, RAM, etc…
Avast Antivirus used to report this file as an infection which is a false positive.
Why do you need this file?
Its an authorizing service commonly used for Windows update. This is a system file needed by the Windows Vista!
Missing TrustedInstaller.exe!
You cannot use Windows update if this file is missing – error code 80070424. To fix that you would need to get an official copy of this file from Windows CD, and place that in the folder, C:\Windows\servicing\. That must fix this issue.
Alternatively you can fix it with a Windows Vista recovery disk. If you don't own a disk, here's how to make one yourself. Download Windows Vista Recovery Disc from neosmart.net and Download ImgBurn from imgburn.com. Burn the image onto DVD with the ImgBurn, boot from it and repair. After that's done you should have TrustedInstaller.com up and running.
High CPU issue!
You might have thought that this file is a malware because of its name. But its a system file. It is known to run at random time taking CPU to its 100% and slowing down the PC.
To resolve this,
Set the service "Windows Module Installer" to start manually instead of starting every time at windows load.
- Click on Start, type msconfig, Enter.
- Click Continue when User Account Control prompt is displayed.
- In the System Configuration window, open the Services tab.
- Find Windows Module Installer and clear the check box.
- Click OK – save your changes and exit.
- Now, open Services window again and change the Startuptype of Windows Module Installer to Manual.
That's it.
Windows Vista Sp1 seems to have fixed this bug. You could also fix this issue by disabling automatic Windows update, but that's something I would not recommend you to do it.
By now you should know how to get it back if its missing, or to fix the high CPU issue.

I may have stumbled upon something unfortunate: the exp boost you gain from Amie seems to be nulled when utilizing Mega Evolution. I've been testing this with my Charizard at the Chateau and it looks like that may be the one negative of Mega Evolution... Unless someone can direct me to a board noting some other cons of Mega Evolution?

Make sure your Pokemon is full first, so they don't get all pouty about it, then drag them out as if feeding and simply drop them on the ground.

there's nothing that implies color/flavor is even relevant

I don't think it really matters, but I am pretty sure a few times I've seen I feed a pokemon a 4 star puff that they only got 3 stars from it. But I only remember seeing it on Pikachu and I don't think I saw it with a puff that is called a Spicy Puff from the game, my Pikachu's Nature according to bulbapedia it doesn't like Spicy.
At the very least, if it does matter, the effect is so minimal I wouldn't worry about it.
I have a question myself: Tile Puzzle Hard difficulty
So, I'm playing and I get the time down to 1:05, 4 1/2 Stars.
Then I get the bright idea to dual stylus so I don't have to move my pointer so far, my fingers are too fat to use them on the small tiles.
Anyway, I get the time down to 51 seconds and still ONLY 4 1/2 stars. I don't know if it's a glitch or what, but if getting it down to less than 50 seconds doesn't get me 5 stars I feel like something is wrong.
Sorry for that, I did have a question:
Has anyone got 5 stars on it? And if so, what was your record time that got you 5 stars?

You have to figure out the right spot to tap the screen and they will wake up. It doesn't affect their happiness and what have you by waking them up.
treehugger0123 posted...
Yes, it is easier to do with Taller Pokémon. I can't hit it worth anything with Pikachu, however once Torchic evolved I started using him and I was able to hit the ball with extreme accuracy.
Basically, the idea is to tap when the ball of yarn is about to hit the monster's head, for taller pokemon. For smaller ones, I haven't figured out a good way, when I tap for them and it is successful, the ball is almost covering their entire body.
It could be that Blazekin's heigh is perfect for gauging it this way and pokemon that appear taller, you might have to wait slightly longer, I don't know. But hopefully you read this and I was able to help.

If color and flavor aren't relevant, why is it that only once was I able to feed my starter? I gave him all sorts of Pokepuffs and he refused (and his thought bubble was a Pokepuff) until I gave him one (don't remember color/flavor), which he did eat. Since then, I haven't been able to feed any of my Pokemon.
Also, does anyone know how to trigger the face recognition thing? A little face shows up in the bottom left corner every now and then and flashes, and that seems to be related to my Pokemon asking me to do a face (wink with left eye, smile with mouth open, turn head to right, etc.) I seem to be completely incapable of doing a proper kissy face, unfortunately, so I can never not disappoint my Pokemon.
Some Pokemon also seem to not eat food... my Spewpa doesn't react to Pokepuffs and it doesn't have a hunger meter.
Spewpa is a pokemon in a cocoon/crysallis. Pokemon like that don't eat. I evolved a Caterpi into Metapod and I noticed Metapod wouldn't eat and that is why

My 1st Run: The 8McDo McHappy Fun Run
I love fun runs. Nobody really cares if you can't run well. You just have to get up and run. And so it was that I received my baptism of fire in running at 8McDo's 1st McHappy Fun Run.
Organized by 8McDo as part of their World Children's Day fundraising efforts, the race saw both adults and kids running together. There were 3K, 5K, and 10K races at the 8McDo Fun Run. I joined the 10K race and was satisfied at the fact that I was running a distance that is more prestigious than most people had that day :)
The race started with a short program. We were told that the race was part of a fundraising effort by 8McDo for their Bright Minds Read and Bahay Bulilit programs, how we're helping lots of Filipino kids just by joining the 8McDo race.
It brought me nice feelings to hear all that. But I was there at the 8McDo race because I wanted to run, nothing more. I had no other recollection of the event, really, but the run (and the muscle pains afterwards). And, oh, I remember Charice Pempengco singing something. And Angel Locsin passing us by with a trail of dust. Man, she could run.
I finished my 10K run with a time of 1:20:56. I sucked, I know. I saw the Elite Team Bald Runner already cooling down when I crossed the finish line. I saw kids pass me by, really. But the 8McDo race was fun. I finally had 10K in me. And lots of burgers afterwards. Hehe

Upstate News

Upstate joins with city and OCC to offer free workouts for Syracuse residents in local parks
SYRACUSE, N.Y.— Syracuse residents will be invited to get fit for free by enrolling in a unique workout program to be held outdoors in city parks.
Upstate Medical University, Onondaga Community College and the City of Syracuse, with a $10,000 grant from the Community Foundation, have developed a program of exercise and nutritional advice to slim down and shape up participants and get them on track to healthier living.
The Syracuse City Parks FIT! is a 12-week program that begins this month at Burnet, Kirk and Thornden parks. More than 50 participants will be recruited from neighborhoods within walking distance of the parks. Two 45-minute classes will be held each week. Class times are as follows:
? Thornden FIT, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6 a.m. First class began July 14
? Kirk FIT, Mondays and Wednesdays, 6 p.m. First class began July 20
? Burnet FIT, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6 p.m. First class began July 21
Workouts will include strength, toning, agility and flexibility exercises taught by physical therapy and physical therapy assistant students from Upstate and OCC.
"There is great interest in developing these types of programs in cities and municipalities across the country as a way to provide community fitness programming with the aim at improving the health of our communities," said Chris Abbott of Syracuse's Department of Parks, Recreation and Youth Programs.
While class participants burn calories and slim down, they'll be helping Upstate researchers gain a better understanding of how beneficial these programs can be.
Physical therapist Dale Avers, DPT, who directs Upstate's Transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy program, will survey participants on their fitness gains and lifestyle changes.
"We'll take various measures from the participants, such as weight and body circumference, and ask them to keep track of their daily activities and diet. This data collection will be important as we continue to understand the benefits of this type of community fitness programming," Avers said. "I'm certain our participants will be able to feel and see the difference exercising has on their lives.
Avers said the medical community already knows that exercise is the one most effective interventions for addressing symptoms of chronic disease.
The FIT program is modeled after an twice-a-week exercise program Ayers has been leading in Thornden Park since June 2008. "The participants have all made great strides in their fitness and especially their flexibility as a result of this program," she said.
Avers says participants especially enjoy the ability to exercise outdoors. "Working out in such lovely settings makes the routines that much more delightful," she said.
Avers hopes additional funding will be forthcoming to expand the program to other city parks.

It might be a little difficult as there are no FFL's in DC. The last one closed up shop a few years ago.
I don't know if DC has laws prohibiting FTF transactions. Fortunately DC residents can purchase their long guns in MD or VA.
May 4, 2007, 03:13 PM
I thought they had to register them
May 4, 2007, 03:17 PM
Well the federal judge recently shot down their handgun ban...it's headed to the supreme court. They haven't decided to take the case yet.
Meanwhile...supersoakers are still legal.
May 4, 2007, 03:19 PM
A lot of fuss gets made but the practical answer is that all guns are illegal in DC unless you are one of the "special exceptions" such as a politician, cop, bodyguard, etc. (Yes I know the law says differently but I'm talking about practical reality)
May 4, 2007, 03:32 PM
DC residents may purchase/own rifles or shotguns with a barrel 20" or greater & no means of holding more than 12 round [no removable magazine]. They must be registered with DC police through the "Firearms Registration Section" at Police HQ prior to transport into the District. There are several FFL's in MD & VA that commonly do this & know the 'routine'. There are also a handful of stipulations about home storage [unloaded, disassembled, etc.], but in spite of what most people think, legally registered/owned long-guns aren't that uncommon.

It was a struggle, but West Virginia's defense came up with a do-or-die stop and preserved a 31-24 victory against Iowa State on Friday in Ames, Iowa.
The Mountaineers (6-5, 3-5 Big 12) not only snapped a five-game losing streak- longest since 1986 - but became bowl-eligible with a sixth victory.
Article Photos
It was a well-played game by both Iowa State and West Virginia, which executed a well-balanced offense as it had the previous week in a 50-49 loss to Oklahoma.
That was a heart-breaker, but happily this one wasn't. You had to go all the way back to Oct. 6 for the last victory - a 48-45 upset of Texas on the road.
Senior Tavon Austin, who had another great game, caught quarterback Geno Smith's 75-yard touchdown pass to give WVU a 31-24 lead midway through the fourth quarter. But the Cyclones wouldn't fold.
They drove toward touchdown territory. Once they got inside the red zone, however, WVU junior safety Darwin Cook forced a fumble with a hard hit.
The loose ball rolled into the end zone and teammate safety Karl Joseph recovered it for a touchback.
The Mountaineer offense then took over possession at its 20 and ran out the clock and the celebration began.
WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen was happy.
"I am proud of the way they rebounded and the way they regrouped," he said of his relieved players. "We've had plenty of opportunities going back to the Texas Tech game, where we could have said 'enough is enough' and quit."
"But we hung in there and made plays to win the game."
Of the gamesaving fumble, Joseph told reporters that "Cook made a great hit on the Cyclones' ball carrier and that the ball popped out" and rolled into the end zone, for a touchback.
And Joseph came charging toward the ball and pounced on it, giving WVU possession to run out the clock.
Senior place kicker Tyler Bitancurt was another tremendous contributor to the triumph. He booted three field goals from 44, 42 and 35 yards.
He now has 10 field goals for the season.
He also made two extra points, with Austin running for a two- point conversion.
For the 11 games this year so far, the versatile Austin owns 2,573 all-purpose yards. The breakdown is: 521 rushing, 1,149 receiving, and 903 kick- and punt- returns.
Quarterback Geno Smith has completed 327 of 466 passes for 3,597 yards and 37 touchdowns-all WVU career records.
An 11th consecutive bowl would be an all-time WVU record.
That one is expected to be either the New Era Pin-Stripe Bowl in New York City or the Holiday Bowl in San Diego, Calif.
Both are held in late December.
But the Mountaineers still have one more regular-season game to play.
It's this Saturday when Kansas (1-10, 0-8) visits Morgantown for a noon kickoff.

Day 93 - What is the POINT to all this WRITING anyway?
Here I continue from the previous posts -
The General Pattern -
Getting 'overwhelmed' within reactions and backchat and self-talk.
Not writing out the point.
Not taking the point 'back to self' and thus blaming my environment for my experience.
Not remaining consistent with self-writing and self-forgiveness.
Not supporting myself with a practical solution to the problem(s).
Allowing the backchat and the emotional energies to build up.
Repeat the pattern.
Main Point -
Slowing down and doing things in detail, consistently and with self-integrity – with writing specifically.
Thoughts/Backchat -
"I can't fucking do this right now. I'm too tired." (This point has been walked in the previous posts)
"I will do it later on, after some rest. For now I will entertain myself and 'relax'" (This point has been walked in the previous posts)
"How is slowing down and looking at every little thing one at a time going to help me with my problems now?" (This point has been walked in the previous posts)
"What's the point? I'm not going to get anywhere with writing." (Tonight's Topic)
"My problems/issues/conflicts are bigger than what I can work through by writing and slowing down."
Tonight I am going to take a look specifically at these two thoughts -
"What's the point? I'm not going to get anywhere with writing."
Within my experience of this process so far I would say that these are two of the biggest LIES that I tell myself the most – where I will deliberately throw a tantrum and manipulate myself into giving up – manipulate myself into reasoning and justifying NOT clearing myself up, removing my personal bias and opinions and charges, and NOT giving myself the patience and self-trust to really slow down and work through whatever it is that I experience conflict and friction in relation to in my world.
I have already established that writing and self-corrective application is a MUST – that this is a non-negotiable within my process if I am to actually develop intimacy and self-trust, and it is most often this very point where I fall the most frequently – where I try to just 'go with it' and try to just 'wait it out' instead of directing myself within writing out whatever I am facing in my world clearly and directly, applying the self-forgiveness, and living that self-forgiveness immediately as a point of self-correction so that my realizations to not remain 'nice ideas' but become my actual LIVING.
Thus here to answer this question for myself – the POINT of writing is not to have the writing get me anywhere – the POINT of writing is for me to clarify and place into a practical structure whatever it is that is going on in my mind – and clearing myself of any energetic attachments or emotional charges so that I can see clearly a point of correction and how to best support myself through an issue – the writing itself is a tool to lay out a clear blueprint and a plan of action for myself – where I get to literally script for myself a solution to be implemented – but in this it is still up to me – as the physical living being that is here typing these very words – to actually LIVE and APPLY that script – that blueprint of correction.
Thus within this -
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed the very thought of "What is the point? I am not going to get anywhere with writing" to exist within me and to have allowed myself to listen to and be influenced by this thought as a way to deliberately sabotage myself and undermine my own self-trust within learning and developing my consistency and effectiveness within using writing and self-forgiveness as a tool for self-correction.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to blame the writing and place responsibility on writing instead of daring to take actual self-responsibility to step out of my comfort zones and release myself from my own self-created ideas and prisons of self-definition – by using writing as a way to structure and lay out my own mental terrain – so that I am able to really understand and work with myself in a tangible and physical and structural way, so that I do not lose myself in the 'quantum' nature of the mind.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to wait for my writing to support me, as though if I just write about a point enough – and write it clearly enough or often enough – then there will be some extra 'support' or some 'sign' that I am correcting myself and that things will become 'easier' to deal with in my world – when this is in fact a self-manipulation to not stand one and equal within the words that I write and the words that I actually LIVE – where I am still allowing myself to separate myself from self-support and believing that support comes from something outside of self.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I simply do not know how to utilize the writing effectively and to be consistent enough within my application – already allowing my backchat to determine what it is that I will listen to and give my power over to – and thus already determining for myself that writing is just not going to work – that I will try and try but it just won't work – instead of STOPPING and realizing that this has become PART of my scripting – that this pattern has become PART of my 'living' and through this I am already sabotaging myself within my writing – where I am just following the 'script' of doing my writing and self-forgiveness but not actually changing consistently and living the change consistently.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to NOT see and realize that within the very thought of "What is the point? The writing is not going to get me anywhere" is ALREADY an indication and a red flag of what it is that I have ALREADY accepted and allowed and what I have ALREADY given my power to – where this idea and belief of writing not 'getting me anywhere' becomes the actual living expression of me, and through repetition will become more and more a part of my actual living – and in this way actually manifest the very starting point of believing that my writing is 'not getting me anywhere'.
I commit myself to clear up my starting point within writing and ensure that when and as I do write, I do so as a point of correction where I am laying out what I am facing within myself and do NOT allow the thought of "The writing isn't going to get me anywhere" to influence or direct me within the DECISION to write and support myself no matter what.
I commit myself to when and as I see/notice the 'domino effect' of my shoulders getting tight, my eyes getting heavy, my posture sinking into my seat, my attention wanting to wander off into other points of distraction, and thoughts and pictures coming up within me where I see myself doing something else, or just wanting to 'give up' and sink/wallow in self-pity, to STOP and realize that all of these experiences are NOT in control of me – that these resistances have been engrained within me through repeated acceptance and allowance and thus will seem to be 'natural' and will appear to be 'who I am' because I have always just given in to them – have always trusted them – but never actually, self-honestly investigated where such sensations and thoughts come from. Thus I give myself the responsibility and authority to STOP, breathe, and move myself PHYSICALLY through the resistance and prove to myself that no matter how much I might resist facing a point, no matter how many times a picture comes up to distract me, no matter how tense or tight my shoulders feel or how many physical indicators I experience that indicate to me a resistance to writing or facing a point of change, I am HERE and able to, in spite of having given in to such points before, in spite of having abdicated myself before, in spite of having thoughts, pictures, and physical resistances building upon each other to convince me that that is what I must do, I do NOT listen. I move myself physically through it and I keep doing this until I am satisfied that such points no longer control or influence me – that my DECISION is absolute and once I commit I do NOT compromise especially when it comes to moments where I face all the times I have fallen before – stumbled before – and want to give in to the temptation of believing that these resistances are who I am and who I must remain.
I commit myself to, when and as the picture comes up within me where I see myself doing something OTHER than supporting myself practically through writing, breathing, or working breath by breath through a point – deliberately and immediately delete that picture and PHYSICALLY move myself within the point of correction.
I commit myself to, when and as I experience tightness or pains in my shoulder or notice that I am wanting to slouch and just slump into my seat and not move myself, I stop, breathe, and take responsibility for how I carry myself and what I accept and allow within my posture, and PHYSICALLY sit up and move myself within what I require to do – and do NOT allow myself to listen to the 'signs' of self-sabotage or give in to the pattern of 'giving up' and allowing my reactions to my own body influence my movement when I am able to simply correct, adjust, and MOVE myself as my body.
this life and in this world just because I gave in to the fog of my mind and did not support myself out of it through writing it out. THAT is the point of writing that I commit myself to live and develop and apply until it becomes me in fact – so that this question may never arise again of "what is the point of writing?"

Multiple-Solution Indeterminacies in Monetary Policy Analysis
Bennett T. McCallum
Carnegie Mellon University - David A. Tepper School of Business; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
July 2003
NBER Working Paper No. w9837
This paper discusses four current topics in monetary policy analysis, each of which hinges on the possibility of multiple solutions in rational expectations (RE) models. In three of these cases--involving inflation forecast targeting, the zero-lower bound deflation trap, and the fiscal theory of the price level--analysis based on E-stability and adaptive learnability of the solutions suggests that only one of them is a viable equilibrium candidate. Thus the dangers alleged to prevail, in these cases, are not ones with which actual policymakers need to be concerned. In the case of the Taylor principle, by contrast, policy behavior that violates the principle is genuinely undesirable, since all of the RE equilibria fail to be learnable.

New chapter books for grade school readers are appearing daily at the Juneau Public Libraries!
"Unexpected Magic," by Diana Wynne Jones: Fans of Jones will be happy to find three new stories never before published in this collection of 15 shorts plus a novella. Fantasy readers new to Jones will be delighted to discover stories about drawings that come to life, a writer's character that infiltrates her computer and takes over the writer's life, a veterinarian called on to take care of a werewolf, and a walking stick named Carruthers.
"North," by Donna Jo Napoli: Alvin may be small for a 12-year-old, but he's not stupid or cowardly. And when his overprotective mother decides he needs someone to walk him to school, it is one restriction too many and he decides to run away to the Arctic with the money he's saved for a mountain bike. Why the Arctic? His hero is Matthew Henson, a black adventurer and co-discoverer of the North Pole, that's why. Alvin makes his way to the Canadian north with lots of luck and help along the way, and lives a season with a trapper, discovering the fierce beauty of the land that Henson wrote about, before returning home buoyed by self-confidence earned the hard way.
"Troll Fell," by Katherine Langrish: Standing at his father's funeral pyre, Peer suddenly sees a monstrous figure coming out of the dark. It is his Uncle Baldur, come to bring Peer home with him to the mill in Trollsvik. But Uncle Baldur and his brother Grim are greedy and have a plan to sell Peer to the trolls as a slave. With the help of the ill-treated house-elf Nithling, Granny Green-teeth, and Peer's new friend Hilde, the brothers get what they deserve in the end. Clever and creepy, this fairy-tale-style story will keep you reading till the end.
"The Fire-Eaters," by David Almond: Almond, known for his atmospheric and unusual stories, doesn't disappoint here. It's the 1960s and the Cuban Missile crisis is right around the corner, but Bobby doesn't know anything about it yet. Growing up in rural England, he's more concerned with staying in school so he won't have to haul coal for a living than with current affairs. He's worried about his dad, angry about beatings in school, entranced by his father's friend the Fire-Eater, and curious about the new kid in town.
"Never Mind!" by Avi and Rachel Vail: Edward and Meg are twins, but no one would ever guess it. Meg is tall, blonde, and the perfect high-achiever who wants to be president someday. Edward's idol is Bill Gates and his teacher had to card him to make sure he was old enough for seventh grade. When Meg is invited to join the High Achiever's Club at her elite school, Edward decides it's time to take her down a peg. But his machinations play right into her plans, with hysterical results.

A Pennsylvania man who worked for a firm that locates fugitives for bail bond insurance companies admitted today to accepting $5,000 in bribes from a flamboyant Jersey City bounty hunter in exchange for steering him work and approving his invoices.
James Irizarry, 42, of Mohnton, Pa., pleaded guilty in Superior Court in Morristown to third-degree commercial bribery in connection with a case that ensnared bounty hunter Adel Mikhaeil, as well as the chief homicide detective in the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office, two former Hudson County sheriff's officers, and three others.
Previous Star-Ledger coverage:

10/02/2008: 3 lawmen swept up in probe of manhunter
10/02/2008: Hudson prosecutor defends decision on officer's role
Irizarry and Mikhaeil, 44, of Jersey City, were indicted by a state grand jury on Sept. 29. Also indicted were two former Hudson County sheriff's officers, William Chadwick, 53, of Keansburg, and Alberto Vasquez, 40, of Apex, N.C., and a former supervising detective in the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office, Kenneth Sisk, 48, of Bayonne.
In a plea entered before Superior Court Judge Salem Ahto, Irizarry admitted that while working for Surety Administrators Inc. of Reading, Pa. from July 1, 2004 to Dec. 31, 2005, he assigned cases and contracts to Mikhaeil and approved his invoices that claimed he captured fugitives in exchange for money.
"There was an understanding that he was paying you because you were helping him out?," Irizarry's attorney, David Bahuriak asked, and Irizarry replied, "Yes."
Sentencing was set for March 13.
A third-degree crime is punishable by three to five years in prison. Under the plea arrangement, the state Deputy Attorney General handling the case, Anthony Picione, will seek a sentence of 364 days in the Morris County jail and probation. Irizarry will ask for a 180-day jail sentence and probation. Irizarry also will be required to forfeit the $5,000 he received in bribes, and a charge of second-degree conspiracy would be dismissed.
Charges against most of the others are pending.
Sisk, Chadwick and Vasquez are charged with giving "body receipts" to Mikhaeil to make it appear he brought 15 fugitives to justice when they were actually arrested by law enforcement officers, according to the indictment against them.
In return for six receipts, Mikhaeil gave Chadwick a total of $5,500, authorities have said.
The three officers, whose bails were set at $30,000, face charges of conspiracy, official misconduct, theft and falsifying records. Chadwick, who was captain of the sheriff's fugitive unit until retiring in 2007, faces an additional charge of accepting a bribe. They each face up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Vasquez, a former detective in the sheriff's fugitive unit, resigned in February.
Mikhaeil, who remains free on $50,000 bail, is accused of using the receipts to collect higher fees from insurance companies that had posted bail for the fugitives and were paying for their capture. He also is charged with bribing Irizarry in return for work.
The indictments in the case were the latest step by the State Police and state Division of Criminal Justice to zero in on Mikhaeil, a cunning self-promoter who has nabbed hundreds of fugitives.
Trevor Williams, 36, of Jersey City, a bounty hunter employed by Mikhaeil, was charged in the indictment with helping to cover up $92,000 in commercial bribes that Mikhaeil allegedly paid to an insurance company executive in return for business. The executive, John Sullivan, 42, of Parsippany, the former vice president for Sirius America Insurance Company, pleaded guilty on May 30 to commercial bribery and financial facilitation of criminal activity. He faces a 364-day jail term as a condition of a sentence of probation. Another employee of Mikhaeil's, George Formoe, 42, of Ridgefield Park, previously pleaded guilty to covering up those payments and faces probation.

It's Not a Joke — Well, We Don't Think So — North Korea Views the Apocalypse
Propaganda at the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (IDFA)
If you ever wondered what was going to bring the world down, it's the decadence of the feeding frenzy of consumerism in the West, promoted by a relentless entertainment machine of mass deception, headquartered in – where else? – Hollywood.
This may sound like Newt Gingrich, the confessed serial-adulterer and convert to Roman Catholicism. But it's the official word from North Korea. And it's now a major motion picture. Even better than Clint Eastwood with his empty chair.
Forget about the nuclear weapons aimed at Pyongyang.
Propaganda is the title of this feature-length cry of alarm from North Korea, which samples everything seductively evil about this global conspiracy in a style that blends marathon screeds by television preachers with the encyclopedic BBC doc panoramas of Adam Curtis. Sometimes it looks so much like Messiah, William Klein's 1999 Koyaanisqatsi of all things disgusting, that you wonder whether Klein will be suing the North Korean filmmakers. Good luck. That said, Propaganda is worth watching – once, at least.
The epic from Pyongyang screens at IDFA in Amsterdam Friday, followed by a discussion between its narrator, a North Korean academic (whose facial features are clouded) and doc director/producer Peter Wintonick.
Watching the spectacle of civilization's self-immolation, I was struck by the breadth of imagery – every sin viewed in every way: decadence, sexual depravity, near-slavery, genocide, tyranny, and religious delirium. Holocaust denial is also part of the mix. The archival researchers must have been busy for years.
And where are they now? Can North Korea feel safe with so many of its citizens working on this film exposed to the irresistible plague of western entertainment, or is the team that made Propaganda locked safely in the country's many prison camps, removed to a safe distance from an ever-susceptible population.
There's a voice-over English-language narration that translates the North Korean professor's walk-through. Both the original Korean version of the film handed to Sabine Program and the English-language version that she translated are on youtube. Is this a new height in unintentional humor or did the KCIA (the South Korean spy agency) plant this in her hands? Be prepared to be surprised if you didn't think the Pyongyang regime could be discredited even more than it has been. If Propaganda proves anything, it is North Korea's status as a perennial punch-line.
But wait a minute. Kim Il Sung was a huge film fan, as was Kim Jung Il, and presumably the reigning Leader, Kim Jong-Un. How were they able to resist the perilous gravitational pull that could have led to the destruction of North Korea? Propaganda will help you understand.

Subjects taught at LSE | Services and divisions (administration)
All research groups | Research subject areas
Research into the destinations of LSE graduates is conducted on behalf of the School by iGraduate. By collecting and publishing destinations information we aim to:
We collect destinations information from LSE graduates at various stages of their careers.
The DLHE survey is commissioned by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). All UK higher education institutions are required to participate in the survey by collecting destinations data from UK and other EU graduates six months after graduation. In addition, LSE has chosen to include all non-EU graduates within the DLHE survey, starting from late 2005.
This survey enables the School to find out the first destinations of all our recent graduates and understand how LSE graduates initially fare in the graduate labour market.
Each year we contact a different cohort of graduates to find out what work and further study they have completed in the three years after graduation, as well as their current occupation. The aim of this survey is to find out more about the long-term career development of LSE graduates.
We are happy to answer your queries about where LSE graduates go and what kind of skills they develop throughout their time with us. However, before contacting us please ensure that you have read the frequently asked questions (FAQs) - we regularly get asked for the same information so we have compiled a list of responses to the most popular questions.
Reading these sections should help you to understand what type of questions we can and can't answer. For example, we do not offer advice on admissions criteria or course content but full details about who to contact about admissions and course enquiries can be found in our FAQs section.

The white "W" flag waved over Waveland Avenue again Saturday at Wrigley Field.
But it was Rockies hitters who were howling in the wind after being exposed to — and by — reigning National League Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta.
"You're asking the wrong guy," Cubs catcher David Ross said when asked how he would approach Arrieta. "I don't know what I'd do. Get in the box and pray, I think."
But like most hitters of recent vintage, the Rockies didn't have a prayer during the Cubs' 6-2 victory, which was brought to the 41,702 in attendance by the letters "K," "H" and "R" and the number 48...

"He's been incredibly professional, always, but especially in times of personal crisis," Jon Cryer, Sheen's co-star on the hit comedy, tells PEOPLE. "He is solid as a rock [and] today was no different. ... It's a very funny episode so it went well. Thankfully a good script can get everybody through awkward moments."
Which is not to say Sheen isn't feeling the strain. "He was in his usual good humor on read-through day but obviously with the weight of something hanging on him a bit," Cryer adds.
Cryer, who says he reacted with "total shock" when he read about the arrest on the Internet on Christmas Day, stands behind Sheen. "He's been a good friend to me and it's painful," he says. "I love them both and they're a lovely couple.... I don't see that side of him. To me, he's been a great, loyal friend and a lovely guy to work with. He's a guy who dotes on his kids as much as any other father."
Of particular disappointment is Sheen's apparent alcohol relapse. "I know Charlie was immensely proud of his years of sobriety and I think that is the hardest thing they're both dealing with right now," says Cryer. "I know it was very important to him and I'm sure that's one of the saddest aspects for him."
Two and a Half Men's creator and executive producer Chuck Lorre insists any off-camera issues have never made their way onto the set.
"In seven years and one hundred and fifty-two episodes, Charlie has never been anything other than a total pro. No entourage, no star trips, just a professional actor doing his job," Lorre tells PEOPLE. "Apart from a few sick days and some babies being born, he hasn't missed a day of work. Beyond that he's been a good friend and colleague who's always fun to work with."

The Harper government wants to hide all of its secrets. A Canadian Press reported noticed a troubling policy detail buried in the feds' legislative bulletin that would dramatically expand the number of current and former federal government employees under a lifetime gag order, potentially curbing the right to free expression of thousands of Canadians.
The B.C. Freedom of Information and Privacy Association, sent all four parties a questionnaire pushing them for clear positions on how they would stop the erosion of our privacy rights and defend our access to government records through Freedom of Information. On April 30th, we received responses from the NDP, the Liberals, and the Greens (we've yet to hear back from the Conservatives). They all had interesting, if decidedly different things to say.
Information issues were smoking hot right up to the drop of the writ. But ever since, they've received hardly a mention. Looks like nobody wants to talk about the government's increasing unwillingness to create written records or its habit of sheltering public documents from FOI by hiding them in personal email accounts. Even multi-million dollar data linkage and information management programs like the Integrated Case Management (ICM) system, which has been slammed repeatedly by officers of the Legislature and civil society alike, don't rate a mention from the four major parties. This is pathetic.
This holiday season, consultation on the deficiencies in the Access to Information Act provides all of us with a chance to do our best Jacob Marley and remind the Info-Scrooge Conservatives that they once campaigned on the position that government works best when open and accountable. Don't miss your chance to participate.
The B.C. government sure does love secrecy for its educational institutions -- or at least their subsidiary companies. What the information and privacy commissioner said would be a relatively simple change to definitions was, according to a B.C. minister, a much bigger issue requiring consultations and even changes to other sections of the act. So, a year later, what has been done? In a word: nothing.
Faulty advertising rules caused extensive problems for small spenders such as non-profit and charity groups during the 2009 B.C. election. The rules led to widespread confusion, wasted resources, anxiety and, most dangerously, self-censorship among organizations that spent little or nothing on election advertising. The government should have (and could have) fixed this situation when it was amending the law this spring, but chose not to.
Citing a whole range of exceptions from legal privilege to law enforcement to personal privacy, the ministry refused to release any of the records we requested. This, despite the fact that our request should have little or nothing to do with lawyers or police! An RCMP investigation shouldn't mean that every record held by the ministry is automatically off-limits to FOI requests.
Federal budget cuts will lead to the elimination of the Interlibrary Loan Department, which gives British Columbians access to national archival collections housed in Ottawa. Without this service, Canadians living and researching anywhere outside the capital region will have to physically visit those collections on their own dime -- a pricey pill that many simply can't afford to swallow.

Hello, a pre purchase question.
In the main page the right frame image slideshow seems like it's working better with vertical images… how is the theme working with horizontal images ? is it possible to set the slideshow frame to show the main part of the picture?
Thank you and … great theme !!
Hi there,
You can set the image to show the main part by using WordPress image editor. Only thing you need to upload the image first, then edit it after.
Hope this helps.
Unique layout structure!
Clean and Great work!

Not a lot of good to take out of this one, but I'll give it a shot:
- Golden Tate touched the ball three times: a 52-yard reception, a 63-yard punt return and a 19-yard punt return.
- Deon Butler had a fantastic first drive: four receptions for 47 yards. Unfortunately, they stopped getting him involved after that.
- The running game was decent – 109 yards on 20 attempts for an average of 5.5 yards per carry. This is exaggerated a bit by Hasselbeck's long run, but Justin Forsett carried eight times for 44 yards, also 5.5 ypc.
- The Hawks defense continued to be stout against the run. Knowshon Moreno ran 24 times for 51 yards and Buckhalter ran 11 times for 19 yards, 2.1 and 1.7 yards per carry, respectively.
- Hasselbeck was only sacked once, despite the revolving door offensive line continuing.
- Third downs were converted on 7 of 11 opportunities. That's pretty good. Not as good as the Broncos' 14 of 20, but hey, who's counting?

CHARLESTON - Hedgesville's reward for reaching the sectional and regional title games was a matchup with rival Musselman, the state's top-ranked team.
Both ended in losses for the Eagles, but nonetheless, it got them to this weekend's state volleyball tournament, which begins today.
Now, the reward for Hedgesville (21-11-3) getting to Charleston is a first-round match with defending Class AAA champion Spring Valley.

So there's no doubt the road to a state title will be tough for the Eagles, but they have a lot of confidence heading in.
"We definitely drew a tough match," Hedgesville senior Ashley Ferretti said. "We have a good group of seniors and a lot of young players to back them up. The thing good about this team is that a lot of the younger girls got to play last year in the state tournament when he had all those players out. They got some good playing time."
The situation last year, where Hedgesville had seven players out because of an eligibility issue, decimated its lineup. This year, the entire roster is available, and Hedgesville has a bigger sense of purpose for the tournament.
"We didn't get a chance last year to show how good we were," Ferretti said. "This year, we want to prove that we deserve to be down there."
The Eagles do have a nice mix of experience and youth, led by a talented group of seniors including Ferretti, Cassidy Ferrari, Kaitlyn Semler and Jordan Butler.
Hedgesville will need big performances by those four and some contributions from some of the younger players if it's going to beat the Timberwolves, who are 45-6-4 and beat Cabell Midland for the sectional and regional titles.
The good news for Hedgesville is that Eagles have been playing well over the past several weeks, especially in the postseason. Hedgesville has won 10 of its last 14 matches, four of those losses coming to the Applemen. At one point, the Eagles won eight straight matches.
Even in those losses to Musselman, there were a few sets where Hedgesville was a point or two away from taking a set, so that kind of play is what the Eagles need for a win.
The Hedgesville-Spring Valley match is set for approximately 3 p.m. The winner of that game will play the winner of George Washington-Parkersburg South later today.

Patty Slack of Lorton, Va., sat at the counter at Ai Laghi Osteria last Wednesday, sipping a chianti as dinner - gnocchi with arugula and broccoli rabe - was prepared inches away, right before her eyes. "It's like watching your own cooking show while you eat," Slack said. "It's the ultimate pleasure."
At another eatery nearby, Isis Vazquez of Reston, Va., was polishing off miso soup, salad and sushi, while at a seafood spot just yards away, Daniel and Dawn Galvin of Fairfax, Va., tucked into seared tuna, crab cakes and wine.
These were no conventional restaurants. The customers were dining at the new Whole Foods Market in Fairfax, Va., on its opening night. Right behind them, shoppers prowled the aisles, filling their carts with meat and groceries.
As at other stores in the Texas-based chain, the Whole Foods in Virginia marries old ideas with new, such as stacking abundant produce to evoke a farmers market near a wall of pre-cut, packaged fruits and veggies.
What's different here is the addition of five sit-down eateries, all serving wine and beer, all run by chefs who have worked at fine Washington area restaurants.
Is this the supermarket of the future?
Fifteen years ago, Joe G. Aiello, treasurer of the American Culinary Federation, heard a grocery association official predict that in-store eateries were on the way. "At that time we all kind of laughed about it," he says.
Michael Sansolo, who monitors shopping trends for the Food Marketing Institute, a trade association that represents the nation's food retailers, finds supermarket dining no surprise. "As shoppers, as people, we're all living crazy lives," he says.

To the Editor We congratulate Davidson and colleagues1 for their randomized clinical trial demonstrating that, compared with usual care controls, an active depression treatment program involving problem solving therapy and/or pharmacotherapy resulted in greater reductions in depressive symptoms in depressed patients with post–acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This work is important in demonstrating that meaningful improvements in depression can be achieved with traditional mental health interventions. However, we were surprised that the potential value of exercise training (ET) in the routine management of depressed patients with ACS was not mentioned.

By the ASCE Task Committee on Academic Prerequisites for Professional Practice (TCAP^3) and Brewer Stouffer, Staff Researcher, Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is currently undergoing a significant reevaluation of the education model for civil engineers. In October 2001, the ASCE Board of Direction unanimously adopted Revised Policy 465, a measure supporting "the concept of the master's degree or equivalent as a prerequisite for licensure and the practice of civil engineering at a professional level." While ASCE recognizes that the civil engineering profession will not change overnight, Policy 465 has the potential to transform the practice of civil engineering at every level, from small public works departments to multi-state utilities contractors. If you or someone you know works with civil engineers, please read on.
Revised Policy 465
In October 1998, the ASCE Board of Direction adopted Policy Statement 465, which supported "the concept of the master's degree as the First Professional Degree (FPD)" for professional practice. The policy sparked considerable discussion within the profession, and spurred ASCE to form the Task Committee for the First Professional Degree (TCFPD). In January 1999, the TCFPD was charged with "developing a vision of full realization" of the policy along with a "strategy for achieving this vision." The TCFPD examined the history and forms of civil engineering education in the U.S. and abroad; researched the education, experience, licensing, and certification requirements of other professions; and reviewed current and future challenges to and opportunities for civil engineers. Their work resulted in a report entitled Engineering the Future of Civil Engineering (available on www.asce.org).
The report highlighted the significant and rapid changes that have occurred in the civil engineering profession in the last 25 years, including the:
Based on the merits of the TCFPD report, the ASCE Board unanimously voted to implement a Revised Policy 465. Achieving full realization of the policy will require considerable effort on the part of ASCE and stakeholders, but the positive consequences for the profession and the public were deemed significant and worthwhile.
Is this change really necessary?
Requiring education beyond the 125-hour Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) is consistent with other learned professions. The body of knowledge and the skills required to practice civil engineering at the professional level are not significantly less than the comparable knowledge and skills required for other professions. Yet the minimum education requirement for civil engineering—a four-year BSCE—falls short of the requirements for accounting (5 years), architecture (5 years), occupational therapy (5 years), pharmacy (6 years), law (7 years), and medicine (8 years). While professional experience is central to every one of these professions, including civil engineering, what troubles many ASCE leaders is that this "slippage" in education requirements has contributed to the erosion of control civil engineers have over their workplaces and careers in both the private and public sectors.
With increased community involvement, environmental sensitivity, and budget and time constraints, today's engineering projects demand leaders with formal training in communication, management, and leadership. Increasingly, persons with a Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Public Administration (MPA), or law degree are providing these services to public and private clients, often managing civil engineers in the process. To be sure, MBA and MPA graduates bring with them valuable skills, but they do not always possess the technical competence of civil engineers. While APWA recognizes that "a formal education, focusing on engineering and business/public administration, is generally regarded as the best preparation for persons who wish to pursue careers as public works managers," in actuality many managers do not possess a technical background in civil engineering or any other engineering discipline (1990).
From 1970 to 1980 the number of local public works directors holding a civil engineering degree decreased from 50 percent to 35 percent (APWA 1981). According to Janet Ward of American City & County, non-engineers are continuing to garner positions in local and county public works departments that were once held exclusively by civil engineers. This data fits squarely into a larger, national trend. There is some surprising information about a class of public positions that have historically been occupied by civil engineers: state secretaries of transportation. As of January 2002, only 18 of the current state secretaries earned a BSCE, while one additional secretary without a BSCE earned a master's degree in civil engineering, putting the total of secretaries trained in civil engineering at 19, or just over 37 percent. The education of the national Secretaries of Transportation is even more striking. In the 30 years of this position as the head of the department responsible for the nation's public transportation infrastructure, only one appointee has been an engineer, while nine (9) have been lawyers.
What does it say about a profession when the leaders and managers often come in from the outside? Engineering has not always had difficulty producing leaders: as late as 1929 two-thirds of all engineers progressed from technical work to management positions. But in the 1920s and 1930s engineers were also some of best-educated professionals in the nation at four years. This is no longer the case, and unless civil engineers acquire "more of the right communication and business skills," Myron Calkins, P.E., former Kansas City Director of Public Works and APWA President, warns that the "writing is on the wall" for a gloomy future (Davis 2000). With fewer credits to work with, and with more to include in the curriculum, civil engineering faces a challenging future if it intends to maintain a tradition of excellence and committed public service. Enter Policy 465.
The future has arrived
Civil engineers must decide in which direction they wish to proceed: as leading technicians or as leaders of the engineered environment. With their technical proficiency civil engineers can add great value to society. They can also become effective leaders—but only if they receive training and education in leadership, liberal arts, communication, and management. TCAP^3 is currently working on further defining the body of knowledge necessary to practice civil engineering at the professional level, as well as investigating the accreditation and licensure structures for the profession.
A primary goal of Policy 465 is to change state licensing requirements to make the master's degree or equivalent (MOE) a prerequisite for taking the P.E. exam. The National Council of Examiners of Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) is currently considering modification of their model law for licensure, and ASCE is working with NCEES to incorporate the MOE requirement into the forthcoming model law. TCAP^3 is currently trying to identify two to four states willing to implement this policy in the next five years. It is anticipated that once a few states adopt the policy, additional states will participate. This was the case with accounting, which is in the later stages of implementing a 150-credit-hour requirement for professional practice. The effort, which began in the mid-1980s, has been adopted in over 40 states, with full compliance expected by 2010. Without question, currently-licensed engineers will not be affected by any new education requirements, regardless of their MOE status. For the next 15-20 years, students "in the pipeline" will not be required to have an MOE, either. These students will, however, be encouraged to pursue additional education beyond their BSCE in order to better prepare them for professional practice.
Year 2030 and beyond
As the infrastructure grows more intricate and complicated, civil engineers will need an enhanced set of skills and understanding to safely and effectively practice in the 21st Century. Through Policy 465, TCAP^3 and ASCE intend to prepare individual civil engineers for a complex and demanding future. To achieve this policy directive ASCE will be an active partner with member engineers, other engineering professions, the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE), NCEES, state licensing boards, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), APWA, and universities and colleges. Still, full implementation will probably not occur for 20 or more years. However, this concept is a legacy for future generations of civil engineers. Policy 465 will help provide tomorrow's civil engineer with the body of knowledge, appropriate experience, and overall outlook to be master integrators of the engineered environment.

The Benugo chain is certainly versatile. From humble beginnings as a sandwich bar, they now pop up in many other prime locations; their Bar and Kitchen at the BFI is possibly the most enjoyable place to eat on the South Bank, and their Ashmolean Dining Room is one of the best places to eat in Oxford. This edge-of-City café-bar is – like their other brasseries – mid-market, fun and affordable.
A glass box the size of a Portakabin has been built onto the front of the Bishopsgate Institute to create this light-filled space. It's all a bit funky: primary-coloured Dualit toasters, potted herbs on the tables, rustic tables made of reclaimed wood. A large, refectory-style central shared table helps keep the feel casual, along with feel-good music on the low-key sound system.
The menu's very straightforward. Porridge, bacon sarnies and fry-ups from 8am; assemblies of cheese and cured meats,for lunch and dinner – plus a few cooked dishes. Ratatouille topped with poached eggs, toasted sourdough and a grating of manchego cheese was a winner of a dish. The component vegetables of the stew were sautéed separately, then the sauce was added prior to serving to keep the textures firm.
Chef Lisa McCourt admits to being a chocolate fanatic, and her version of the classic chocolate torte was denser than a black hole. By not baking it, but mixing the cream and chocolate at room temperature, she tips the intensity of the chocolate flavour over the event horizon.
Coffee comes from a La Marzocco espresso machine, deftly handled by the chummy staff. If you're after booze, there are wines by the glass, carafe or bottle, plus a few bottled beers. Outside of peak hours, it's still blissfully calm.

Back in 1993, Philadelphia committed a radical act. It opened a new downtown convention center without a single public parking space. Despite the modest inconvenience, the city's hospitality industry exploded. Suburbanites flocked in for the popular flower show and other special events, often choosing to take the train instead of driving.
Since then, the city's fortunes have picked up and more cultural attractions have opened, yet the city's resolve to limit parking has weakened. Both the Kimmel Center and the National Constitution Center included garages in their buildings, although they smartly took pains to hide them underground. But increasingly, aboveground garages are being built close to these venues, and recently a 530-car behemoth was sanctioned for next door to the Convention Center — one block from City Hall.
