Q1 2011 Closes with a Sense of Optimism
After Quiet Start, Flurry of M&A Activity Got the Life Science Industry Ball Rolling!--h2>
After recording the strongest January in years, the equity capital markets turned in a volatile performance for Q1 2011, with the Dow and S&P ending the quarter up 6.4% and 5.4%, respectively. Investors managed to shake off worries over antigovernment protests in Egypt and are digesting the turmoil and uncertainty stemming from the unrest in the Middle East and the natural disaster that struck Japan.
An Eye on Therapeutics
Closing of the Sanofi-Genzyme deal brought added investor attention to the biotech sector and stoked speculation about which other biotech giants are on the menu for 2011. As Q1 progressed, we saw that acquirers had more than just biotech behemoths in their crosshairs. Large-cap biotechs joined big pharma in the hunt for promising therapeutics, as Amgen paid $1 billion—including up to $575 million in milestones—to acquire BioVex, the maker of a late-stage cancer vaccine that has shown positive results in treating solid tumors.
The deal-making continued as Gilead Sciences paid $375 million in cash plus $225 million in potential milestones to acquire Calistoga Pharmaceuticals, a privately held biotech company focused on cancer and inflammatory diseases. Daiichi Sankyo announced that it will acquire Plexxikon for $805 million up front plus up to $130 million in near-term milestone payments associated with the approval of PLX4032, an oral drug in Phase III testing for the treatment of metastatic melanoma in patients with the BRAF mutation.
Specialty pharma companies also got into the mix. Canadian drugmaker Valeant Pharmaceuticals made an unsolicited bid to buy Cephalon for approximately $5.7 billion. Forest Laboratories announced that it will acquire Clinical Data for $1.2 billion. Additionally, Cephalon was active as well, making several bids including an offer of $225 million up-front for private biotech Gemin X Pharmaceuticals to obtain access to drug candidate obatoclax for small-cell lung cancer with Phase II data.
Q1 also saw a healthy level of licensing activity, as both biotech and pharma firms consummated deals with meaningful up-front and milestone payments. Human Genome Sciences and FivePrime Therapeutics announced a development and commercialization agreement for cancer candidate FP-1039, worth $50 million up front, up to $445 million in milestones, and a tiered, double-digit royalty on sales. Astellas and Aveo Pharmaceuticals entered into a worldwide agreement to develop and commercialize tivozanib for a broad range of cancers outside of Asia. Aveo received $125 million up front and $1.3 billion in potential milestone payments, along with a 50% share of profits.
The Patent Cliff
Large pharma firms and investors alike have long known of the approaching patent cliff, but until recently it seems that both held out hope that internal development efforts would produce enough successful therapeutics to offset the impending hit from generics. Although there have been some internal pipeline successes, there have also been high-profile setbacks throughout the industry.
Now, 5 of the world's 10 best selling drugs will face U.S. generic competition by 2012 including Pfizer's Lipitor and Eli Lilly's antipsychotic Zyprexa, both expected to go generic in 2011. Drugmakers have started to take steps to address this patent cliff through consolidation and cost cutting. However, continued acquisition of promising therapeutics and discovery capabilities will need to be a significant part of the equation, as large pharma looks for future drivers of revenue growth.
Biotech M&A activity should continue its upswing through 2011, as drugmakers work to position themselves for future growth. Cash-rich biotech and pharma companies looking to build on existing franchises, fill in pipeline gaps, address multibillion-dollar patent cliffs, or expand into new therapeutic areas are natural acquirers of both public and private biotech companies.
Biotechs with pipeline candidates that have positive late-stage clinical data or approved products will command premium valuations in exchange for greater visibility, reduced risk, and higher certainty of financial return. Deals involving earlier-stage pipelines will likely include structured payments, allowing sellers to participate in future upside through milestones and contingent payments, while spreading out the risk for buyers. Pharma firms still prefer to add earlier-stage programs through less costly, at least initially, collaborations.
As 2011 progresses, we expect the biotech sector will continue to benefit from growing investor confidence and the improving financing environment. Despite the threat of increased government involvement in healthcare and geopolitical instability, investors will continue to seek and reward those companies with late-stage assets that present risk-mitigated opportunities. Partnering and M&A momentum will continue, with cash-rich biotech and pharma companies selectively competing for promising therapeutic assets.

The signs and symptoms of type 1 diabetes in children usually develop quickly, over a period of weeks. Look for:
- Increased thirst and frequent urination. As excess sugar builds up in your child's bloodstream, fluid is pulled from the tissues. This may leave your child thirsty. As a result, your child may drink -- and urinate -- more than usual.
- Extreme hunger. Without enough insulin to move sugar into your child's cells, your child's muscles and organs become energy depleted. This triggers intense hunger.
- Weight loss. Despite eating more than usual to relieve hunger, your child may lose weight -- sometimes rapidly. Without the energy sugar supplies, muscle tissues and fat stores simply shrink. Unexplained weight loss is often the first sign to be noticed.
- Fatigue. If your child's cells are deprived of sugar, he or she may become tired and lethargic.
- Irritability or unusual behavior. Children with undiagnosed type 1 diabetes may suddenly seem moody or irritable.
- Blurred vision. If your child's blood sugar is too high, fluid may be pulled from the lenses of your child's eyes. This may affect your child's ability to focus clearly.
- Yeast infection. Girls with type 1 diabetes may have a genital yeast infection, and babies can develop diaper rash caused by yeast.
When to see a doctor
Talk to your child's doctor if you notice any of the signs or symptoms of type 1 diabetes -- increased thirst and frequent urination, extreme hunger, weight loss, blurred vision, or fatigue.

A truck crashed on Bannister Road in Kansas City Monday afternoon, shutting down all eastbound lanes near U.S. Highway 71.
Police said there were at least two people inside the truck. They said there were no life-threatening injuries from the crash.
Crews said they also had to clean up fuel that was leaking from the truck.
The wreck backed up traffic on Bannister Road well beyond the Grandview Road overpass.

The new climate change report released by the Academy of Science on Monday is a strong call to action. It reinforces the message the science has been giving us for decades. Human activity is changing the global climate so fast we need urgent, concerted action.
Climate change is clearly a critical threat to our future.
It should be the most important topic of the election campaign. Instead, the leaders of the major political parties are staging orchestrated media events, talking glibly about trivial issues and making strategic handouts to marginal electorates.
We know that climate change is already exacting a heavy cost. The Murray-Darling system is in deep trouble as a result of over-extraction of water for irrigation.
Restoring the river system's health is an urgent priority, but declining rainfall and reduced water availability have inflated the social impact of returning water to the rivers.
More frequent extreme events, such as severe storms, are occurring. Billions are being spent on ill-advised desalination plants, as a panic response to altered rainfall patterns. Vector-borne diseases like dengue fever are spreading.
Heatwaves are already killing the vulnerable; it has been estimated that several hundred people died of heat stress in Victoria before the 2009 bushfires.
Our unique biodiversity is being lost. Iconic natural systems like the Great Barrier Reef are at risk.
The new report reminds us that sea level rise is likely to inundate freshwater wetlands, including parts of Kakadu. These changes are imposing serious economic costs on top of their social and environmental impacts.
The critical conclusion of the report spells out the scale of response needed to avert catastrophe.
To have a better-than-even chance of preventing the global average temperature from rising more than 2 degrees above pre- industrial temperatures, the world would need to be emitting less than half the amount of CO2 by 2050 than it did in 2000. To do this on a smooth pathway, global emissions (which are still rising) would need to peak within the next 10 years and then decline rapidly. For this to happen by 2020, the peak for countries like Australia should be within the next term of Parliament, allowing later stabilisation in poorer parts of the world.
We need a plan for action by the next government just to give us a 50:50 chance of avoiding a two- degree increase in average global temperatures.
Many distinguished scientists think that level of warming could have disastrous consequences. We certainly can't afford to allow even greater changes.
Opinion polls show that the community understands the need for concerted action. Economic studies like the Garnaut Report find that the cost of measures to scale back our greenhouse pollution is much less than the future cost of rapid climate change.
Instead of putting a price on pollution, we are still spending billions of public dollars subsidising the supply and use of fossil fuels.
There is irresponsible talk of allowing new coal-fired power stations, which would lock in huge volumes of CO2 pollution for decades. Instead of investing in the clean supply technologies we need, some of our leaders are talking about such fantasies as "clean coal" and nuclear power. The Victorian government's recent decision to start closing down the Hazelwood power station and guarantee that 5 per cent of the state's electricity will come from solar by 2020 is a decisive step in the right direction.
We need similar action from other states.
But it is important to have a national response. What should we be doing? The crucial first step is a price on carbon dioxide pollution. If our leaders can't craft an emissions trading scheme without the shameless handouts to big polluters that flawed the Rudd scheme, we should have a straight carbon tax.
One way or another, those who are pumping pollution into the air should be paying for it.
Secondly, we need a commitment to clean energy supply and efficient conversion into the services that energy provides. As Amory Lovins said, we don't want energy, we want hot showers and cold beer! The 2003 National Framework for Energy Efficiency found we could cut pollution 30per cent with measures that repay their cost within four years.
The recent report by Zero Carbon Australia concluded we could get all our electricity from a mix of renewables by 2020. It would cost a lot of money, but it would be the best possible investment in our future, providing clean energy for decades.
This is the most important issue in this election.
Anyone asking for your vote on Saturday should be able to tell you how they plan to meet this urgent challenge.
By Ian Lowe, ACF's President

Jim Washburn was sitting in his office at the NovaCare Complex one day last week talking about the difficulty his defensive line was having getting to quarterbacks this season.
He talked about the maxprotections his linemen were dealing with every week and he talked about how fast quarterbacks were getting the ball out. Then he pointed over to the screen on the wall, where the game tape he had been watching was stopped on a picture of Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford.
"It's not going to be any different this week," he said. "That guy gets the ball out as fast as anybody in the league. It's not going to be easy getting to him."

Writers' Bloc
Many journalists decided to start moonlighting as authors in 2012. So what did they write tomes on?
Some of the greatest writers in history have been journalists. Charles Dickens began his career as a parliamentary reporter, George Orwell reported for The Observer while writing Animal Farm and preparing to write 1984, and PG Woodhouse was a journalist with the now defunct Globe. In recent times, journalists like Martin Amis who worked with The New Statesman, Will Self and Tom Wolfe have been successful in their transition from newswriting to fiction writing.
So why should our journalists be any less? 2012 saw a number of Indian journalists cross over to writing books this year. Some to great acclaim, others not so much.
Tavleen Singh's Durbar
Veteran journalist Tavleen Singh's Durbar was touted to be a book that would provide a dekko into the Nehru-Gandhi family, and help us understand the origins and rapid proliferation of dynastic politics in India, the cult of servility and the foreseen potholes in the use of the same blueprints that the family inherited from Indira Gandhi. Singh examined the insurgencies in Punjab (1984) and Kashmir (1987) and addressed the full-blown militancy that followed from an interesting vantage point – as an insider.
However, as Rajysree Sen notes, "The problem with the book is that the brilliant and utterly engrossing narration of the politics and mood of India in the Seventies and onwards, chokes on Tavleen's broken heart and bile at being left out in the cold by Sonia." http://www.newslaundry.com/2012/12/tavleens-testy-tales/
Tamal Bandyopadhyay's Bank for the Buck
The Deputy Managing Editor of Mint, Tamal Bandyopadhyay's Bank for the Buck promised to tell the story of "India's most valued bank" – HDFC. Through the book, Bandopadhyay chronicles HDFC's success story as well as India's growth story. Devoid of impenetrable jargon, the book is to-the-point, comprehensive and anecdotal. What you could call every critic's favourite word – "unputdownable".
Aman Sethi's A Free Man
In A Free Man, journalist Aman Sethi explores the life of an itinerant labourer Ashraf, a safediwala, and gives the reader an insight into the lives of many men like him. The women who share the same fate as the protagonist are not mentioned. The tight focus though, helps illuminate the life and triumphs of Ashraf. The book is emphatic and dense – much like one would expect it to be. Aman Sethi's interview to Newslaundry can be seen at the link below.
Shefali Vasudeva's The Powder Room
With a tailor-made masala cast of Ludhiana ladies and their nauseating obsession with bling and brands, small town models aching to find a nano space in the spotlight, darzis apprehensive of being consumed by the laissez faire and Fashion Week skirmishes, emerges a fairly riveting book on the Indian fashion industry. The former editor of Marie Claire, Shefali Vasudev has peppered her book with the "Devil Wears Prada" and "Fashion" clichés and more. Yet, the book does little more than re-iterate the duplicity, deceit and disaffection that floods much of the Indian fashion industry.
Vaibhav Purandare's Bal Thackeray and the Rise of the Shiv Sena
This authorised biography – Bal Thackeray and the Rise of the Shiv Sena – is written by Vaibhav Purande, Senior Associate Editor, Hindustan Times. The book examines how Thackeray went from being an unassuming cartoonist to pioneering the sons-of-the-soil movement, and then transformed himself into an aggressive Maharashtrian and propagated a strident Hindutva movement. The book claims to tell the complete story of Bal Thackeray – the rise, fall and split of the Shiv Sena and the end of an era in Maharashtra politics after his death.
Meena Menon in her review of the book in The Hindu, calls it uncritical, pedantic and full of rhetorical questions.
Nilanjana S Roy's The Wildings
The lit-crit turned author this year with The Wildings in which she dissected feline tendencies in astonishing detail. Their behaviour, much like ours is read, understood and poetically recounted by Nilanjana. The book is a page-turner and a must read for all cat-lovers.
Saba Naqvi's In Good Faith
Journalist and political editor, Saba Naqvi's In Good Faith was born out of her journey across India. It is a journalistic account of her discovery of an India that exists in faraway shrines and quaint little places and of communities and people who reach out to common ground – defying existing notions of identity within the Indian context. In the book, the author argues that it is in these little islands of pluralism, music, art and culture that we may still find a counter to fundamentalism.
Baradwaj Rangan's Conversations with Mani Ratnam
Through freewheeling conversations with Mani Ratnam, Baradwaj Rangan – National Award-winning film critic, currently Deputy Editor at The Hindu– helps us understand the genius of Ratnam. Rangan examines the art through Mani Ratnam's use of light, music and sound. The book, much like Ratnam's films, is riveting, avid and entertaining (to say the least!).
Vinod Mehta's The Sanjay Story
Vinod Mehta's The Sanjay Story was re-published this year. The book looks at Sanjay Gandhi's rule and its impact over Indian politics. It comments on many aspects – from the insecurities that plagued Indira and Feroze Gandhi's marriage to understanding Sanjay's personality to his rule over the Youth Congress and his love for cars that led to the establishment of the first Maruti factory. To date, The Sanjay Story remains one of the most precise biographies of one of India's most controversial political figures.
S. Hussain Zaidi's Dongri to Dubai: Six Decades of the Mumbai Mafia
Zaidi is a veteran crime reporter who has covered the Mumbai mafia for nearly two decades, and seems to have poured his heart into Dongri to Dubai. The book encompasses several milestones in the history of the Indian mafia and gives a detailed and fascinating account of Dawood Ibrahim. The book is extremely comprehensive and makes for an engrossing read.
Richa Lakhera's Garbage Beat
Richa Lakhera's debut novel revolves around the life of a journalist covering entertainment for a leading TV channel. The book doesn't promise to explore anything out of the ordinary. So we get a dose of life in the newsroom, deadlines, jealous reporters and sexy superstars with fragile egos.
Amrita Tripathi's Broken News
In Broken News, Amrita Tripathi – a news anchor with CNN IBN – explores the cult of "Breaking News". She reveals the many facets of being a TV reporter – the 20-hour days, never-ending demands, the long laborious journey to the top and then the struggle to stay there. Conspiracy theories, deceit and jealousy galore, Broken News is quite a dramatic representation of TV news and the lives of TV journalists.
And it seems 2013 is not going to be ignored by the journalist-cum-author. Rahul Pandita, Kishalay Bhattacharya, Samanth Subramanian, Sidin Vadukut and Indrajit Hazra are all writing this year. And of course, you can expect Khushwant Singh's 1902nd book to hit the bookshops sometime soon.

On the night of Jonathan Borondy's high school graduation, the 18-year-old cancer patient wants to give a check for at least $7,000 to a local charity that raises money for children with the disease.
With some help from Saugus High School, where he's a senior, Borondy's putting together a concert called "Play It Forward" to benefit the Michael Hoefflin Foundation.
"I know a lot of people that are affected by cancer, and I thought it was a good chance for people to have fun and at the same time support a good cause," Borondy said earlier this week.
The event is promoted and supported by the student governments at all of the local high schools. It will be held at the Saugus High School Amphitheater tonight from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., with tickets costing $10 if purchased in advance at local high schools or online at mhf.org. Tickets cost $15 at the door.
Borondy and Saugus High School Principal Bill Bolde came up with the idea during a recent meeting.
Borondy wanted to have a concert because he is a music lover, and he knew some local musicians who had fans at Saugus High.
The food, refreshments, labor, equipment, and other resources have been donated by local businesses such as Jersey Mike's in Saugus, Juice it Up in Valencia and In-N-Out.
Bolde said the goal of the event is to attract 1,500 to 2,000 guests in hopes that it raises $10,000 for the Michael Hoefflin Foundation.
For more information on how you can help or how to make a tax-deductible contribution, contact the Michael Hoefflin Foundation at 250-4100 or e-mail Bill Bolde at email@example.com.
Contributions can also be made at the Hoefflin website at mhf.org under the events tab.

ECON 2843 Elements of Statistics
His final is easy. I went to class maybe twice and ended up with a B. If i would have maybe payed attention i probably would have got an A. If you go to his office the day of the tests you can get talk him into telling you what will be on the test. If you want the best chance of an A take him
ECON 3113 Intermed Micro Theory
He is a very nice guy and cares about the class. He gives plenty of homework (not for a grade) so if you don't understand his lecture material, just get the book and do the homework. He provides answers for the homework, too. I would say that the homework is key.
X Chen
Great teacher! The class is difficult, but if you come to class and take good notes you will do well. He makes sure all students have the information needed to get an A in the course.

LONGMEADOW — Bay Path College's new Center for Health Sciences is on schedule to be completed in January of 2015, officials said.
The school has also come to an agreement with MassDevelopment which has issued $19.5 million in tax-exempt bonds on behalf of Bay Path College, said Michael Giampietro, vice president for finance and administrative services at the school.
MassDevelopment is the state's finance and development agency, which works with businesses, nonprofits, financial institutions and communities to stimulate economic growth.
Bay Path will use bond proceeds to build the 56,000-square-foot, two-story Center for Graduate Studies in Health Sciences on 11 acres of land in East Longmeadow on Denslow Road.
"Steady growth in the number of graduate school programs at our Longmeadow campus necessitated that we expand our physical plant," Giampietro said."Because our campus is landlocked and fully built out, we made the decision to purchase 11 acres in East Longmeadow, about three miles from our main campus, and to establish our graduate center for health sciences there."
A portion of the bond proceeds will refund a previous MassDevelopment bond, which funded projects at the main campus in Longmeadow. The remaining $13 million will be used to build the center. Peoples Bank, United Bank, and NUVO Bank & Trust Company purchased the bonds.
"We wanted to work with local banks. It's good for the college and it's also good for local businesses," Giampietro said.
The health sciences building will be a state-of–the-art academic facility for graduate classes in the occupational therapy and the physician assistant programs. This is the largest building project in the college's history.
"Bay Path College's Health Sciences program provides a unique learning experience that enables students to become confident professionals," said MassDevelopment President and CEO Marty Jones in a prepared statement. "We are pleased to leverage this low-cost financing on behalf of Bay Path College, furthering its expansion in Western Massachusetts and the level of education the school can provide."

The last known words spoken from the cockpit of Flight MH370 before it disappeared from radar screens were "All right, gottit", families in Beijing were told on Wednesday.
Datuk Iskandar Sarudin, the Malaysian ambassador to China, facing an angry, impatient crowd at a hotel in Beijing today, said that the three-word phrase was spoken by the pilot to air-traffic control as the Boeing 777 jetliner left Malaysian airspace.
The revelation came as international anger began to build against Kuala Lumpur and its handling of the incident. The Malaysian authorities admitted that they do not know in what direction the plane

This weekend went from "What a steal!" to "What a mess!" to "What a relief!" pretty quickly, didn't it?
It goes without saying that the Red Sox acquiring a premium player like Adrian Gonzalez is typically wrought with drama, but the way the news trickled out this weekend was enough to drive even the sanest of baseball fans to distraction.
First, media reports began surfacing Saturday morning that a deal sending Gonzalez, 28, to Boston was on the verge of happening. Early on, Red Sox prospects long considered potential trade bait for Gonzalez didn't know whether or not they were a part of the deal.
Once it became clear that the Sox gave up prospects Casey Kelly, Anthony Rizzo and Raymond Fuentes and a player to be named later in the deal, most of us rejoiced. They're all potential major-league stars, but for Boston to land a superstar like Gonzalez while retaining ace setup man Daniel Bard, outfielder Ryan Kalish and other young players who already have begun to prove themselves in Boston is astounding.
That gave way Sunday afternoon to a flurry of reports that the deal had fallen through after the Red Sox and Gonzalez failed to agree to a contract extension. Gonzalez originally wanted $180 million over eight years -- something reported as far back as last March. Boston offered $120 million over five years, and Gonzalez's camp countered with $150 million over six years, according to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal.
The heart attacks finally ended last night around 7 p.m., when Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman reported in a Tweet that the trade was complete.
Heyman followed with an additional message that the Red Sox will add about seven years at about $23 million per season to Gonzalez's $6 million salary in 2011, a deal that would be worth about $160 to $166 million. A press conference has been scheduled for Monday at 11 a.m., the Boston Globe's Peter Abraham reported.
Assuming that a contract extension is indeed eventually worked out, the Red Sox have pulled off a coup. They've locked up one of the best players in baseball, adding him to a longterm nucleus that includes Bard, Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia, Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz. It's easy to picture the left-handed Gonzalez hitting third in the lineup for years to come, with the right-handed Pedroia in his customary No. 2 hole and Youk manning the cleanup spot.
The Red Sox also will say goodbye to Adrian Beltre, who had a monster 2010, but apparently couldn't see eye to eye with Boston management on another contract.
The Red Sox still have work to do. The bullpen is still a mess, and the team must determine how it is going to fill in the bottom of a batting order which currently includes some combination of J.D. Drew, Mike Cameron and Ryan Kalish manning two spots in the outfield, Marco Scutaro and Jed Lowrie at shortstop and Jason Varitek and Jarrod Jarrod Saltalamacchia at catcher. It stands to reason Theo Epstein isn't done tinkering yet.
For now, though, they've landed a new cornerstone who should play a central role in the team's success for years to come. That's something to celebrate.

5 Reasons We Need Classes on How to Talk to People
Engineers and Programmers Aren't Off the Hook Either
Fine, you might think. I can see why doctors would need this stuff, and probably business types. But, hey, if you can't talk to people, you can still become a programmer or something.
First, as an aside, apparently business graduates are also becoming incompetent at human interaction, increasingly demonstrating "unacceptable handshakes, inappropriate manners at business meals, improper
introductions and unsuitable lunch behavior as well as some general office errors."
Unsuitable lunch behavior?
Secondly, sure, IT and engineering are magnets for people increasingly desperate to find some kind of job that won't expose their inability to talk to others, as you can see in these somewhat touching forum posts.
If you read the rest of that thread you will see that those poor guys are out of luck. The only job where you don't have to deal with any people at all is probably wilderness explorer, and nowadays, chances are you will attract a camera crew following you around anyway. As an engineer, you don't have to be a super-suave schmoozer, but you do have to have a fairly impressive array of interpersonal skills to really get far.
But there's help! MIT is actually teaching people skills classes to some of its best students, tired of seeing them passed over for promotions in favor of dumbass MBAs with winning smiles. And a lot of IT professionals, tired of getting nowhere because they keep sighing loudly every time someone doesn't understand something, take the initiative to fix things at professional how-to-talk-to-people courses.
Lesson 1.
Because the truth is, the people that move up are the people who understand people. They may not understand the most efficient way to pursue technological developments, or the difference between a hard drive and a memory stick, or what a computer is, but they know "appropriate lunch behavior." So, like many office humorists have observed, many workplaces are full of smart, technical people being managed by smooth talkers who are still amazed by email.
That's kind of horrible. And that's why ...
Smart People Need Social Skills to Revolt Against Dumb Bosses
A lot of us would prefer to work in a corner somewhere and not have to worry about office politics or kissing asses or spending countless hours in meetings. Some of us are even afraid of asking how someone's day was or explaining the project we are working on. Or even asking a teammate on the same project what they are doing.
And sure, you might be happy knowing that you know what you're doing and that you're doing a good job, and you don't care about being promoted. The bosses might be a bunch of buzzword-swapping know-nothings who get all their technical knowledge from Hollywood movies and ask you to try "reversing the polarity" when something goes wrong, but you'll just vent about it to your co-workers later and have a good laugh.
"Then he asked if I couldn't just put on a helmet and hack into the database!"
The thing is that management is steering the ship. At its worst, they could have thousands of brilliant engineers, scientists or programmers studying how to manufacture adamantium or stop time. Or a district full of experienced teachers throwing out their curriculum and copying lesson plans directly from Dangerous Minds and School of Rock. If they don't have enough field expertise to tell who's good and who's incompetent, when layoffs come, they might as well be throwing darts blindfolded at an employee list.
Or the actual employees, why not.
And all this could have been stopped if some knowledgeable but shy employee had stepped up and taken one of them Carnegie interpersonal skill classes or just made himself practice chatting with a different co-worker at lunch every day, or something. That employee could work their way up to a position where they could focus the department on something that's actually physically possible. Also they would have more friends and dates.
Because this isn't just about faking social skills and manipulating people with some stupid "social engineering" tricks. Learning things like empathy and listening puts you in a place where you understand other people a little better, and saves you from living in a paranoid world where you imagine everyone's thinking bad things about you, or everyone you don't get along with is an oversimplified villain or shallow stereotype.
And if you like to be honest and blunt, that's one thing, but it's another thing when half the people you're talking to think you're insulting them just because you don't know what phrases come across as condescending. You'll alienate both the people you meant to rip on, and the people you didn't. Maybe you want to come across as that sarcastic, insulting guy -- but not on accident, right?
"But I said you were PLEASANTLY plump! That's a positive!"
I know a lot of us don't have the energy to socialize with more than a certain number of people every day, and that's no problem. I'm just saying that I see a lot of Internet people express the view that 90 percent of people out there are boring or vapid and they don't need to learn to deal with them. They'll just hang out with the few people that respond positively whenever they blurt out whatever is in their head at the moment, and trying to adapt their manner to get along with anybody else is "being fake" and "not being themselves."
You miss out on a lot of life that way. And if that's fine with you, keep in mind it's that kind of attitude that's going to lead to some company spending millions on developing sentient kangaroos when one employee has an AIDS cure gathering dust or something. You could have stopped that. Just saying.

A PLAN to prevent a repeat of the long-term mismanagement of millions of pounds by Waltham Forest Council is set to be agreed by ruling councillors.
The comprehensive reform of internal procedures was ordered in the wake of the publication of a damning independent report, which found the authority had been left on a knife-edge by a systemic failure to manage its finances.
Cabinet members will on Tuesday discuss the plan, which aims to eradicate a pervading disregard for anti-fraud procedures regarding council contracts and an unwillingness to accept responsibility for failings.
The plan includes a review of human resources procedures to deliver a "new culture" based on collective responsibility.
The roles of leading councillors and senior officers will be "restated" in terms of standards, expectations and responsibilities.
Procurement and commissioning training will also be reviewed.
The plan includes measures to increase transparency and public participation in council activities, including improved cabinet reports and greater scrutiny of cabinet decisions.
Cabinet members are expected to formally turn down a request from Conservative group leader Matt Davis to produce a report into EduAction, the company which used to manage schools in the borough, with a view to a possible criminal prosecution.
The company was paid £250,000 to help vulnerable children, but doubts emerged over whether at-risk children received any support.
The Crown Prosecution Services decided not to launch criminal proceedings against the company following a police investigation last year.
But the council's director of finance is currently seeking recover the cash through the civil courts.
Critics of the independent report have said it failed to explain why the fiasco happened and hold those responsible to account.
Disciplinary proceedings against a number of council officers are ongoing.
Ruling Labour and Liberal Democrat councillors have apologised for the failings.

6 Olympic Hairstyles We LOVE
…And 4 Big Reasons We Need to Kick the High Heel Habit
Every woman has 'em: Those beautiful heels you adore, but can only wear for an hour or two before they kill your feet.
Many women wear 4 inch (and maybe even 6 inch!) heels throughout the entire day and just repeat the "beauty is pain" mantra in their heads every waking minute. But is this…"healthy"? Are uncomfortable shoes actually bad for us?
Dr. Neil J. Cronin, postdoctoral researcher at the Musculoskeletal Research Program at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia, suggests wearing high heels only once or twice a week. If that's not doable, he suggests removing heels whenever possible, such as when sitting at a desk. After all, uncomfortable shoes not only compromise your health, but they can cause some ugly side effects.
Pointy Toe Problems
Yes, those pointy-toed shoes are adorable and fashionable—but they're painful, too! Squeezing five toes in a space big enough for two is not only silly, it's dangerous. Wearing pointy-toed shoes often can cause a condition called Morton's neuroma. It feels like a sharp shooting pain, usually between the third and fourth toes. You can also experience numbness and burning. You can treat Morton's neuroma by using arch supports, but in some situations, you may need surgery or injections. Ouch!
Hammer Time
Let's talk about hammertoes. Hammertoes happen when your toe becomes bent and then stays in that position—like the head of a hammer. Sounds appealing, doesn't it? According to WebMD, "ill-fitting shoes are the main culprits" of hammertoes—especially shoes that are too tight or too pointy. Avoid this problem all together by limiting your heel-wearing tendencies!
It's a Cornfield
If your shoes are uncomfortable, your feet may develop corns or calluses. These are the results of thickening skin around areas of friction or pressure points. Not only are they unsightly, they can be painful to walk on. The number one way to prevent corns or calluses from forming is to wear well-fitting shoes. Seems like a simple fix to us!
On the Catwalk
We know high heels can be painful and cause unsightly effects, but you also run the risk of falling off your platform heels or twisting your ankle. Runway models for every major designer are required to wear massively high heels during shows—and many fall on their faces! If professional walkers can't stay vertical in their stilettos, how are we expected to?
Yes, we all want to have that sexy stance that stilettos supply. And we can, in moderation! Cut high heels from your daily routine and save them for special occasions. You'll be sure to avoid those high heeled ailments. And remember, beauty is not pain. Beauty is being healthy! Maybe someone should fill in Lady Gaga!

And now the appeals and reactions while OOXML sits on hold
,----[ Quote ]
| Now that OOXML has been shoved through, (and if you are new to the story,
| here's a very complete and succinct history of what happened by James Hogarth
| on Tideway), we find it cut and bleeding on the other side. What about
| appeals of the travesty? There is an appeal process, although you may have
| noticed that Standards Norge's decision was objected to elsewhere. Perhaps
| folks have gotten the idea that ISO is a bit tilted at the moment.
ISO confirms approval of OOXML, gives two months to appeal
,----[ Quote ]
| If any national standards organizations do make appeals to the Joint
| Technical Committee of ISO (JTC1) and the International Electrotechnical
| Commission (IEC) that worked on the draft, then Microsoft may have to wait
| several months longer while the appeal is heard, according to Section 11 of
| the ISO/IEC JTC1 Directives.
Norway asks to suspend its 'Yes' vote on OOXML
,----[ Quote ]
| Some members of the Norwegian committee that participated in the
| International Organization for Standardization's Office Open XML vote are
| calling on Norway's Ministry of Trade and Industry to suspend the
| country's "yes" vote pending an investigation, according to a letter to the
| ISO from the Norwegian committee's chairman. Â* Â*
Bill Gates takes the phone to lobby Mexico
,----[ Quote ]
| Rumors are running that he also lobbied Denmark, where it is well known that
| he is a friend of the Prime Minister.
EU Initiates Investigation Against Microsoft OOXML Push
,----[ Quote ]
| But with Steve Ballmer taking over as CEO, there was supposed to be a kinder,
| gentler Microsoft - one that would play nicely with its competitors. Â*When
| antitrust regulators in turn challenged this new Microsoft, it issued not
| challenges to fight to the end to prove that it had done nothing illegal, but
| statements promising to "cooperate fully." Â* Â*
| But at the same time, Microsoft is still a tough competitor. Â*As Microsoft's
| Director of Corporate Standards Jason Matusow famously warned at his blog
| last year: Â*
| Â* Â* Make no mistake; all parties are looking at the full picture to find
| Â* Â* strategies that will result in the outcome they desire. Provided - of
| Â* Â* course - that they do so within the context of the rules that apply to
| Â* Â* the process, this is exactly what one should expect to happen. It is
| Â* Â* going to be a very interesting next few months. Â* Â*
| Indeed, the months that followed proved to be interesting indeed. Â*Microsoft
| said that some of its employees became over zealous, most flagrantly in
| Sweden, where marketing assists were promised to several business partners as
| incentives to join the national standards committee and vote for OOXM. Â*
EU Commission Investigating Microsoft's MSOOXML Push
,----[ Quote ]
| I hope they think to investigate the smear campaigns that seem to always
| happen to anyone on the other side from Microsoft. What happened to Peter
| Quinn was by no means unique. Â*
Corrupt countries were more likely to support the OOXML document format
,----[ Quote ]
| Is this just a random coincidence? The median of the CPI index of the above
| mentioned 70 countries is 3.95. Of the most corrupted half (CPI index less
| than 3.95) 23 or 77% voted for approval (approval or approval with comments)
| and 7 or 23% for disapproval; 5 abstained. Of the least corrupted half (CPI
| index more than 3.95) 13 or 54% voted for approval and 11 or 46% voted for
| disapproval; 11 abstained - see the table below. Â* Â* Â*
Microsoft accused of more OOXML standards fiddling
,----[ Quote ]
| However the 11 new countries are refusing to say how they will vote. These
| include Cote d'Ivoire, Cyprus, Ecuador, Jamaica, Lebanon, Malta, Pakistan,
| Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, Uruguay and Venezuela. Most people seem to think
| that these have been put there by Vole to make sure the standard gets pushed
| through. Â* Â*

1. Re: UI Loader in Flash will not locate my imagesNed Murphy Apr 12, 2012 5:14 AM (in response to msjodip)
What code are you using to specify the files to load and where are the files located relative to the swf file? If you are testing in an html page, where is the swf relative to the html page folder-wise?
2. Re: UI Loader in Flash will not locate my imagesmsjodip Apr 12, 2012 10:02 PM (in response to Ned Murphy)
I'm testing in Flash and my swf file is located in the same folder as my images. My folders look like this....
website folder ------->swf file
imges folder ------->image.jpg
3. Re: UI Loader in Flash will not locate my imagesadninjastrator Apr 13, 2012 11:15 AM (in response to msjodip)
If you are testing directly in Flash, the path from the .swf to the images would simply be:
no folders, no nothing... they are in the same folder (according to what you said).
While that path will work fine from testing, it WILL NOT WORK once you place that .swf on a Web page in a different folder.
Then you must path from the .swf to the images as though the .swf is in the same folder as the Web page... not it's actual, physical location.
Once the .swf is places on the Web page, the path from the .swf to the images would be:
Once correctly pathed relative to the Web page and not it's physical location, clicking directly on the .swf in the images folder WILL NOT WORK! And that's not a bad thing... it simply means that the .swf was created to work from the Web page and not in the "images" folder.
Also do not use "machine" relative paths such as
/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/XYZ/Documents/
doing so will be nothing but trouble once you upload your website to a sever, since none of that path exists on the server.
Best wishes,
4. Re: UI Loader in Flash will not locate my imagesNed Murphy Apr 13, 2012 12:37 PM (in response to msjodip)
And what is the code you are using?
5. Re: UI Loader in Flash will not locate my imagesartchangel Apr 19, 2012 9:46 AM (in response to msjodip)
I had the same problem recently. Using your finder window find what the EXACT path to photo1.jpg is and make sure it is exactly the same as the the path you input for the UI Loader source. That will take care of it when you preview it. When you post it to the web you need to make sure you're asetts can be found.
If you have a folder actually called index.swf that will really mess you up. Check for a typo in your source.

Court Correspondent
A Liberation War hero prosecution witness (PW) on Monday testified against fugitive war crimes accused Engineer A Jabbar, corroborating the evidence of other PWs over the atrocities perpetrated by the accused in collaboration with Pakistan occupation army and its auxiliary force Razakar in the villages of Mathbaria, Pirojpur during the Liberation War.
Claiming himself as an eyewitness to the May 16, 1971 horrific incident at village Fuljhuri, PW-13 Janaprasad Paik, now 62, told the International Crimes Tribunal-1 that at the behest of accused Jabbar, a group of Razakar led by its commander Iskander Ali Mridha had killed freedom fighters A Razzaq Biswas and Motleb Sharif after hunting them down.
The perpetrators had also set fire to their houses before they left the scene, he recalled.
Hailing from village Fuljhuri in Mathbaria upazila, Pirojpur, Janaprasad told the tribunal that then Pakistan Muslim League leader Abdul Jabbar had formed Mathbaria Peace Committee (collaborator) declaring himself as its chairman and appointed Iskander as Razakar commander during the Liberation War.
The PW further said Razakars and members of the Peace Committee had converted him along with nearly 200 Hindus into Muslim under duress, renaming him as A Jabbar Khan.
The deposition over, state defence counsel MA Hasan moved a plea for adjournment for homework over the cross-examinations. Allowing the defence plea, the tribunal adjourned the proceedings for Tuesday.
On August 14, the tribunal indicted Abdul Jabbar for his involvement in crimes against humanity during the Liberation War, after fulfilling the legal requirements of law for trying a fugitive accused, including the appointment of state defence counsel.
On May 11, the prosecution submitted to the ICT Registrar the proposed charges accusing Engineer Jabbar of perpetrating the crimes against humanity during the Liberation War.
The prosecution pressed five counts of war crimes charges against the former Jatiya Party MP, believed to have been living in the USA.
After working for over 11 months, the investigation officer (IO) of the case ASP M Helal Uddin submitted the investigation report to the prosecution on April 29.
The prosecution submitted a list of 44 witnesses (PWs) to prove the charges as proposed against Jabbar.
The investigator 'found' Jabbar's involvement in crimes like killing, genocide, arson, looting and forcefully converting many Hindus to Muslims in the then Mathbaria thana of Pirojpur during the war. Jabbar had been made chairman of local thana Peace Committee (collaborator) and he then organised Razakar outfit in Mathbaria, according to an investigation report.
Octogenarian Jabbar of Khetachhira under Mathbaria was the vice-chairman of Jatiya Party. He had joined the then Muslim League through his father-in-law, Arshed Ali, who was an influential Muslim League leader.
Jabbar later joined the Jatiya Party of Gen (retd) HM Ershad and was twice elected Member of Parliament with the party tickets in 1986 and 1988.

How Facebook Helps Me Stress Less as a ParentSunny Chanel
"My baby WILL NOT sleep, I'm exhausted."
"Seriously, does my kid think I'm the fricken' maid?"
"What? ANOTHER snow day? My kids are driving me crazy!"
"Calgon take me away …"
These may not be exact quotes from my Facebook feed but I have seen variations on these themes over and over again throughout the years. Facebook has become a place to not just share potty-training accomplishments and sweet drawings from your preschooler, but also a place to vent and commiserate with those most likely to understand. And this, this is a good thing.
Psychcentral.com notes that, "new research on stress coping mechanisms suggests it is beneficial to share your feelings with someone who is having a similar emotional reaction to the same scenario." As parents in these modern days, we are lucky to have a community at the ready. We often have the same feelings about the same situations — be it big or small — and while we may not get to spend as much offline time as we'd like with other parents, we do have 24-hour access to our network of peers via social media.
This particular study that Psychcentral highlights focuses on stress in the workplace. "For instance, when you're putting together an important presentation or working on a high-stakes project, these are situations that can be threatening, and you may experience heightened stress," says Sarah Townsend, Ph.D., one of the authors of the study. "But talking with a colleague who shares your emotional state can help decrease this stress."
But this is not just work-related, as these examples can be applied to us at-home moms as well. When I'm having "one of those days," venting to a fellow parent can be not just cathartic, but reassuring. I am not one big "mom fail" for forgetting to pack my daughter's lunch … again. My child's mind won't turn to mush from watching TV all day; and I am not the worst parent in the world for not buying my daughter another American Girl doll. Knowing that other parents are wrestling with these same (or similar) issues makes everything feel like it's going to be alright.
It does take a village, after all. And not just offline, but online as well.
Do you find that you are less stressed by bonding with other parents online?

[Editor's note: This is an excerpt from Douglas Gibson's new book Stories About Storytellers: Publishing Alice Munro, Robertson Davies, Alistair MacLeod, Pierre Trudeau, and Others, running every Friday. The following is from the chapter on diplomat, diarist, and charming dissembler, Charles Ritchie.]
Charles Ritchie should have been a spy.
By day, he worked as a diplomat: dispassionate, discreet, and diligent (apart, of course, from those afternoons when he slipped out to the movies). In his diplomatic role — in the words of the old Elizabethan joke, as "a man sent to lie abroad for the good of his country" — he was very effective at producing shrewd dispatches, as one of those legendary external affairs men whose sheer skill and dedicated professionalism allowed Canada to punch well above its weight in the international ring. By night — even when he was our ambassador to jfk and lbj's Washington, or to Bonn, or to London — he emerged from his dark-suited carapace to become a wildly indiscreet diarist, a role that allowed him to be a gossip, a boulevardier, a ladies' man, and a gifted writer with a novelist's eye and ear, and an insatiable appetite for life.

When Michael Ancrile began calling talk radio shows during his commutes to and from his job in Ann Arbor, little did he know it was the beginning of a comedy act.
Ancrile, a technical engineer at the University of Michigan, started calling radio shows by using various voices, which eventually developed into characters.
Now, Ancrile has developed a stand-up comedy act using those characters, which he has developed further by using wigs, fake teeth and costumes. He headlined a show at the Michigan Theatre this month.
He's also appeared in several television shows and movies, including "Detroit 1-8-7" and "Real Steel," as a featured extra.
Q: How did your characters develop?
A: I started calling radio stations on my drive to and from work. I used to call Lansing stations, WRIF (in Detroit) with J.J. and Dick the Bruiser, Steve Gannon on Cool 107 and Ann Arbor stations. I used to do a lot of impressions on those shows, along with my original characters. I started out with a hillbilly character from Potterville or Vermontville, and then came Miss Edwina and Rick Walnuts.
When did the visual part of the characters come about?
Well, I started doing (locally produced television show) "Creep Theater" (as Count Spatula), which we used to film at the Michigan Theatre. That's when I really started in with the wigs, fake teeth and rubber hair and all that. I just have a ball with it.
How did your acting career start?
I started doing my characters for bits and bumpers for some of the radio shows, like "Stoney and Wojo," because I'd call them all the time and develop relationships with these guys. I even got to do a couple for "The Jim Rome Show." That's about when I started doing "Creep Theater" with a bunch of other local guys, and then I branched out and started doing TV commercials and getting some bit parts.
What have been some of your favorite gigs?
I did "Hung" on HBO, "Detroit 1-8-7," "Kill the Irishman" and "Whip It." The bigger productions are more like featured extras — like I've played a cabbie or a bartender or just a guy in a crowd. Some of the smaller, indie-produced things I've had a little juicier roles in.
Has performing changed your personality at all?
It's helped me come out of my shell. I'm actually kind of a shy guy. I used to get all kinds of anxiety on stage, but I love a challenge.
Cathe Hendrick, painter/mixed media artist
Mary Kathryn Krzesicki, actress/singer

Artist biography
American Abstract Expressionist painter in oil and watercolour, and lithographer. Born in San Mateo, California. Studied psychology and medicine at the University of California at Berkeley 1941-3, then served 1943-5 in the US Army Air Corps. Began to paint in 1944 after a plane crash, while in hospital recovering from a spine injury. Received instruction from David Park and in 1948-50 returned to the University of California to study art. Started to paint abstract pictures influenced by Still, Rothko and Gorky. Moved in 1950 to Paris, where he had his first one-man exhibition at the Galerie du Dragon 1952. Painted almost entirely in monochrome for several years, then began to use contrasting colours. In 1957 made his first journey around the world, including two months in Japan where he executed a large mural. Has since travelled widely, with studios in Paris, Bern, New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo. Painted large murals for the Kunsthalle, Basle, 1956-8, the Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, 1959, but in the 1960s worked mainly in watercolour and made a number of lithographs. Many of his later works include large expanses of white.
