John Huber from Saber Capital Management writes on Harvest Exchange:
Buffett talks a lot about the concept he calls the "institutional imperative". In his 1989 shareholder letter , when he was describing his mistakes of the first 25 years managing Berkshire, he outlines what he means by this (emphasis mine):
"My most surprising discovery: the overwhelming importance in business of an unseen force that we might call "the institutional imperative." In business school, I was given no hint of the imperative's existence and I did not intuitively understand it when I entered the business world. I thought then that decent, intelligent, and experienced managers would automatically make rational business decisions. But I learned over time that isn't so. Instead, rationality frequently wilts when the institutional imperative comes into play.
"For example: (1) As if governed by Newton's First Law of Motion, an institution will resist any change in its current direction; (2) Just as work expands to fill available time, corporate projects or acquisitions will materialize to soak up available funds; (3) Any business craving of the leader, however foolish, will be quickly supported by detailed rate-of-return and strategic studies prepared by his troops; and (4) The behavior of peer companies, whether they are......................

Hi, yesterday evening a friend asked me if I knew some ressources on where to find specifications on how to program logos for mobile phones and the specifications to send them via the Internet onto the mobile phone (what is needed etc.). I understood that there are specifications for every single mobile phone, but there should be a common standard as well ?!?
Now I know something about programming pages for wap and i-mode, but just static pages - so I cannot be of help.
Is there someone around who can tell me about available services, ressources on the net etc.? I mean: they will need services to be able to send the logos by sms, download via wap to the mobile phone, download to the computer and then transfer it from there to the phone.
Is there anything I did not consider?
Any help would just be wonderful!
Best, Sabine

Winter's constant barrage eroding road salt suppliesFebruary 4, 2014 11:24 PM
It looks like Phil wasn't kidding around.
Just days after the Punxsutawney groundhog's Super Bowl Sunday prediction of six more weeks of winter, a treacherous mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain was expected to hit Western Pennsylvania Tuesday night and into this morning.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for virtually the entire state, including Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Washington and Westmoreland counties. The warning, which took effect 7 p.m. Tuesday, continues until 1 p.m. today for the Pittsburgh area. Greene and western Fayette counties will be under a winter weather advisory for the same time, the only two places in Pennsylvania not under a winter storm warning.
Meteorologist Fred McMullen said the precipitation, a wintry mix of ice, snow and rain, was expected to begin before midnight and continue through this morning, with the possibility of ice that could bring down smaller tree branches.
No widespread power outages were expected, though the storm could make commuting a nightmare.
The forecast called for as much as a quarter-inch of ice and 3 to 7 inches of snow, with the heaviest accumulations north of Pittsburgh. In the city, the forecast called for 1 to 3 inches of snow and sleet overnight and an additional accumulation of about a half-inch during the day.
At a news conference Tuesday afternoon to introduce Pittsburgh's new director of public works, Mike Gable said his crews were ready.
"I don't see it as a big storm. I think it's been a little hyped up right now," said Mr. Gable, a longtime Pittsburgh public works employee who spent the past year working as deputy director of public works for Allegheny County.
The city normally uses about 1,000 tons of salt per inch of snow. This winter, the city budgeted for about 44.5 inches of snow -- meaning it expected to use nearly 45,000 tons of salt -- and had gotten nearly 42.5 inches as of Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Gable said.
With nearly two more months of winter still to come, that means the city will likely spend more than the usual $2 million on salt, which sells for about $55 a ton.
Guy Costa, the city's chief operations officer, asked for patience in getting streets plowed and salted, adding that it can take 24 to 36 hours to get to every street.
Port Authority spokeswoman Heather Pharo said crews would work overnight to keep overhead lines on the Light Rail Transit system from icing if sleet or freezing rain falls. Light rail vehicles were to make trips after the end of service hours and the first LRVs out for the morning commute were equipped with sleet-cutter pantographs to scrape ice from the wires, she said.
In Shaler, officials issued a notice Tuesday that crews would be conserving salt, likely for the rest of the winter, because of dwindling stockpiles.
Bethel Park's director of community services, Jerry Duke, said the municipality's supply of salt is "getting pretty tight."
"We're getting some shipments. But the way this winter is going, as soon as we get it in, it's going right back out," Mr. Duke said. The municipality has started cutting into a reserve supply and will use anti-skid material to stretch the salt supply, although it hasn't reached that point, Mr. Duke said.
Monroeville manager Tim Little said the town has an adequate supply for now but is waiting on completion of a 2,000-ton shipment it ordered last week. Only a few hundred tons had arrived as of Tuesday morning, he said.
"Obviously, the rest of that tonnage has to be delivered for us to be OK as the weeks move on," he said.
Robinson has "an adequate supply right now," township manager Jeff Silka said. "We're confident."
After a low in the mid-20s Tuesday and a high just above freezing today, temperatures will fall into the teens tonight and barely breach the 20s on Thursday.
The weather service also issued a flood watch Tuesday for parts of Ohio, West Virginia and southwestern Pennsylvania. The watch area includes Washington, Greene and Fayette counties. Heavy rain and snow melt will increase the risk of ice jam flooding on streams and creeks, it said.
Gov. Tom Corbett has directed PennDOT to temporarily waive restrictions on commercial drivers who haul road salt, extending the time they can drive without taking a rest break from 11 hours to 14 hours.
"Forecasts are calling for more storms in the next few days, and we want to take steps now to ensure that salt supplies are adequate to meet the mission to keep drivers moving," PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch said.
An exemption also was granted to the rules limiting the number of hours a driver can work in a seven- or eight-day period. An earlier waiver was granted to haulers of home heating fuel.
On Tuesday morning, Sylvester Lighty hovered his hand near a heat lamp recently installed on the ceiling of the Liberty Avenue and 9th Street bus shelter.
It was 20 degrees outside, but Mr. Lighty, who lives a few blocks away, said he wasn't warming his hand, just curious about how much heat the lamp radiated.
The lamp is one of four that have been installed by Pittsburgh insurer Highmark Inc. since early January as part of an advertising campaign for Highmark's Community Blue health care plan, which is offered on the Healthcare.gov exchange.
The others are at Fifth Avenue and Ross Street; Reedsdale Street and Boyce Street; and Boulevard of the Allies near Stanwix Street.
They invite bus riders to "step in, warm up."
The advertisements went up shortly before Pittsburgh's first run-in with the polar vortex and the sub-zero temperatures that came with it and the heat lamps will remain for the "foreseeable future," said Doug Braunsdorf, a Highmark spokesman.
"It's good on a cold day," Mr. Lighty said. "It's good all the way around."

Rickie Lambert bagged his third hat-trick of the season to fire Saints back to the top of the Championship table.
The prolific striker scored twice in the space of ten first half minutes before rounding off a 3-0 win at Watford from the penalty spot.
With West Ham only drawing at home to Crystal Palace, the result saw Saints climb back to the league summit on a day when Birmingham also lost at home to relegation threatened Nottingham Forest.

If you are not a lawyer, get help from an experienced trial lawyer. If the other party has a lawyer and you do not, it will be very difficult for you to try your case in front of a jury. Click for help finding a lawyer.
Some courts mail you a notice of the trial date, and others assign you a trial date at the case management conference. The court will schedule the trial date based on information you provide to the court in forms you must file, or at the case management conference. At least 15 days before the case management conference you will need to file and serve on all parties in the case a Case Management Statement (Form CM-110). You can file a joint statement with the other party or parties in the case if you choose. (See rule 3.725 of the California Rules of Court.)
If the court schedules your trial based on information you provide in your Case Management Statement, it is important to include in that statement the dates when you will not be available for trial, how long you estimate the trial will last, and whether you want a jury trial or a court trial. If the trial date is set at the case management conference, both sides have to tell the judge whether they want a jury trial or a court trial. A jury trial means that a jury of your peers will decide the case. A court trial, also called a "bench trial," means that the judge alone makes the decision on your case. If you ask for a jury trial, you must pay the jury fees. See California Code of Civil Procedure section 631 to 636 to find out more about jury fees.
Deciding between a jury trial or court trial
First, you do not always have the right to a jury trial in all civil cases. But if you do have the option, there are a lot of things to think about when you decide what kind of trial to ask for.
Some types of disputes cannot be decided by a jury. These include claims for injunctive relief or declaratory relief, or questions of law instead of questions of fact. If you have a type of case that a jury can decide, you still may want to have a judge decide the case instead of a jury. Jury trials can be good if you have a case about things that people can identify with, and if you have a lawyer to present the case. Jurors can get bored or frustrated with cases that are technical or complicated, or when they see a party unprepared. Most judges are very good at understanding complicated problems. They can deal with those cases easily.
Also think about who is likely to be on your jury and how they will feel about your case. Lawyers who practice in a specific geographical area have experience with juries and the attitudes many jurors bring to court. This experience is so important when deciding whether to request a jury trial.
Before you decide what kind of trial to ask for, think about your case and what you will ask the judge or jury to solve. Talk to a lawyer about what kind of trial is best for your situation. Click for help finding a lawyer.
If you ask for a jury trial
Once you ask for a jury trial at a trial setting conference or case management conference, you have to pay the jury fees. This means that you have to deposit money to cover the jury fees for 1 day. This deposit has to CLEAR in the bank account at least 25 days before the trial date. If you do not deposit the money in time, you may give up your right to a jury trial. In some circumstances you can ask that jury fees be waived by filing an application for waiver of additional fees and costs. You must be prepared to show the court both that you cannot afford the jury fees AND that a jury trial is necessary for your rights to be protected.
For more information on jury trials and jury fees, see California Code of Civil Procedure sections 631 to 636.
When you get your trial date, you will probably also get a date for a mandatory settlement conference. Often, the mandatory settlement conference is a few days to 2 weeks before your trial.
A temporary judge usually conducts the settlement conference. Temporary judges (called "pro tems," short for "pro tempore") are lawyers with a lot of experience. They volunteer to be the judges for the settlement conference.
At the mandatory settlement conference, the judge or temporary judge meets with the people in the case (or their lawyers). The parties will present the facts of the case to the temporary judge, and the judge will try to find a solution that everyone agrees with in order to settle the case. If you can reach a resolution at the conference, there is no trial. The settlement conference judge is a different person than the one who will serve as the trial judge.
At least 5 court days (do not count weekends or court holidays) before your mandatory settlement conference, everyone in the case has to file a settlement conference statement describing how your settlement talks are going. This statement has to be served on every party in the case. Read rule 3.1380 of the California Rules of Court to see what must be included in the settlement conference statement.

Once again the Roaming Gnome has hit the road for a series of Pacers games. By now he should be in Nevada and prepping to make the Vegas to LA drive for the Lakers game with his wife. He didn't mention where the seats are in Staples but maybe he'll pop on here and clue us in.
After LA he'll fly up to San Fran where I'll meet them for some wine country fun before hitting the Cow Town itself, Sacramento. For that game we have pretty good seats on the sideline within the first few rows. I will not be bringing a cowbell, but maybe Gnome and wield his charms and get the Maloofs to comp us some Vegas deals for making the effort.
From there will be hotfooting it back over to SF so Gnome can attempt a whirlwind tour of the City before going back over the Bay to Oaktown's Oracle, one of the crown jewels of the NBA in terms of classic environments. Right now I'd say OKC, MSG, Boston and Oakland are the places to see games outside of the Fieldhouse, so I'm pretty pumped. It's not like the arena is fresh and new, but I anticipate a lively, involved crowd. Once again we will have great seats, should be row 4 on the sidelines but with everyone in blue and gold it might be tough to tell.
Anyway, I'll do my best with photos but I've discovered over the last few seasons that each arena has it's own rules that vary wildly from place to place. The Fieldhouse has been one of the more forgiving arenas when it comes to cameras. Pretty disappointing when half the reason for the road trip is to check out the other arenas.

Nice title. It's even better if you say it with a Russian accent.
I hate to be such a downer but...
Paul George over his past 2 games (combined)
FG 21/40 3pt 5/12 56points, 17 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks, and 4 steals.
Paul George in the 2 games before that (combined)
FG 2/18 3pt 0/11 4points, 9 rebounds, 13 assists, 0 blocks, and 2 steals
Maybe he should string a few games together before we start this conversation?
Way too soon.
"Josh Smith Re-building the city of Detroit one brick at a time"Originally Posted by Piston Prince
Consistency is when PG does this 8 of out 10 games (at least).
Nevertheless, PG is only 22 years old. He's still young - but playing exceptionally well.
I hope we dont start hearing "trade Granger, we've got PG" again
"So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
He's obviously inconsistent, noone can argue that, but a knock on him prior to the 30+ explosions recently and looking more assertive was that even though we believed he had potential he hadn't put together an entire game where he "dominated", and looked in control unless he was just hitting a lucky amount of 3's. The last two games were different, he was controlling the games for large stretches, he was attacking the basket with a purpose and scoring or creating easy shots for others, he was decisive in his moves, he knew what shot he wanted and didn't hesitate, be it midrange, drive and kick or whatever. He's shown all the skill necessary to be a 20+ scorer during the last two games, he can't do it consistently yet, but he absolutely has the ability, he can obviously drain 3's, which opens up alot, but he's been using his height and improved handles to get to the middle of the floor for mid ranged J's that no shooting guard can really bother at 6'9 and his arms, he's used the threat of a 3 to get into the lane and find open spot up guys or cutters and used his length to get the ball on the rim, after which good things tend to happen with rebounders on the floor like we have. I've seen him attack matchups against smaller guys by doing a little mid post move into a slight fade away taking advantage of his high release... These are winning moves, they aren't lucky or awkward like some of the stuff Tyler has thrown somehow through the hoop in the past, it's good stuff that can be the foundation of a consistent high caliber scoring repotoir, and moves that George should be able to consistently get, even against tough coverage.
The best part is that the things he has been doing are things we've known he could do all along, but it seems like his mindset has been different the last two, there isn't the hesitation, there isn't the deferring even when he himself is the best option for the team, he hasn't been hanging his head when he misses a shot. It's exciting because his skill or physical talent has never been holding him back, and if he continues to be aggressive it could be a game changer for the team.
I mean PG did average a respectable amount of points on a balanced team last year, and he did it efficiently, this year has been about adjusting to a more featured role, with more attention, an dthe other teams best perimeter defender riding you. Games like the last two illustrate that George certainly has the capability to step up and play like a star on the offensive side of the floor, and not just the defensive one. Noone is declaring he's going to average 20+ the rest of the season, but imo these last two games were the two best of his career, and it was his decisive presense that connected them thematically, it's very good news for Indy.
Now he just needs to avoid completely dissapearing, we don't need 20+ from him every night, but lets see if he can put up at least 14-15 each night even if he isn't on fire, games like that in between great games like the last two, instead of peppered with nights of 0-5 points every once and a while would be great progress. I think George is finally "getting it" though. He's beginning to really see the connection between the Pacers' winning and his own assertiveness and fingerprint on the games. I've always believed PG to be a team guy first, if he thinks that not shooting and deferring on offense to focus on defense gives them the best chance to win, then that's what Paul is inclined to do, but if he's realizing that a more featured role for him offensively is what we need to win the most ball games, then I think we'll see a much more consistently aggressive PG looking for his own shot as well as creating for others off of his action. Vogel, I believe is a great guy for this particular situation, as his greatest strengths as a coach lie in motivating players and instilling drive and confidence in the people around him. I wouldn't be suprised to see PG play at a consistently high level for the majority of the rest of the season, it isn't that he put up two great games in a row in a box score sense (though i'm rather sure he's never done that before this either) it's the moxy and approach during those games that is exciting to me as a Pacers fan. Paul with that mindset is a guy that can be one of the best two way players in basketball. I believe that it was Naptown_Seth that was musing about how PG would just "get it" one day and start to perform consistently at a very high level, despite his previous inconsistencies, I think he's correct, but that was always how it was going to happen, as it isn't really ability that was in doubt, but the wherewithal to consistently apply his talent on a ball game when necessary.

I'm not sure that he needs to have 8 out of 10 games like the last two.
What I do want to see is games like last nights and tuesdays bookended by "decent to good" performances (14-15 ppg on non-attrocious percentages) instead of by games like the previous two before the two stellar games he just had. That would be great progress and bode well for his development as a top offensive player. My optimistic expectation is we'll see PG average 17-18 ppg over the last few months of the season, score 20+ every few games but avoid the games where it seemed like PG decided the TV camera would steal his soul if he was caught doing something aggressive offensively to stand out.
What everyone should be able to agree on is that it's certainly great that PG is showing flashes of all-star offensive ability for entire games as opposed to bits and pieces scattered throughout the schedule and practice, and whose only huge games were ones were he was unholy hot from behind the arc, which simply isn't going to happen more than every once and a while.
Think you need to chill
Smothered Chicken!
4 out of the last 9 games he has scored 20 or more.
I have to agree with Paul George coming starting to emerge - big time.
Looking back at when the Pacers first got Reggie and how he developed, I know this may sound
sacreligious, but it looks to me like PG is ahead of Reggie's curve at the same point of their
development in several different areas.
It is doubtful PG will have the longevity Reggie had (that is VERY rare), but if PG could just keep
getting more and more of a killer "dagger to the heart" instinct, he may end up being the one of
the best to ever wear a Pacers uniform.
I have seen enough to be seriously convinced PG is indeed our new Reggie, and hopefully for a
long time to come.
It's pretty much how Fez would describe childbirth.
Tell us something new. I don't think anyone on this board doesn't realize that time span includes a 4 point and 0 point games, but they might not realize how many 20+ games he has had recently.

Isn't there some redundancy in the title?
When Paul averages 20PPG over the course of a couple months...we can say he's starting to emerge...assuming that means emerging as a star in the league. As long as he comes back with 2-12 game with 7 points every 3 or 4 games, he has not arrived. That's not what stars do.
let's see is Paul has scored 500 points by game 41. Anyone can score 20 pts once or twice or for a week. To be an NBA star, he needs to produce game in and game out, not once or twice a week. Wait and see how long it takes him to get 500 points before crowning him king.
So, according to your definition, can we assume that you consider Lillard to be a "star"?
I would say he's arrived at that point.
I'm not so much looking for 20 point games as I am a consistent tendency to take good shots, penetrate, get to the rim, draw fouls, etc.
If he does all this and goes 3-12 and scores 10 points once in a while, I won't be too upset. Because if he does the right things, he will end up averaging around 6-12 and 16-18 or so points and a healthy number of assists. That's what we need from him.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Interesting post, but hard to agree with a statement as puzzling as this, no?
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.

Ten years ago, New Mexico State Police Officer Marvyn Jaramillo was pulled over by a Santa Fe County sheriff's deputy for speeding. He flunked a sobriety test. His loaded shotgun lay behind his seat. NMSP fired Jaramillo—even before he was convicted of drunk driving and negligent use of a deadly weapon.
On Sept. 28, 2009, Jaramillo, now a Santa Fe sheriff's deputy, became the subject of a temporary protection order filed by his ex-wife. She didn't claim physical abuse, but wrote that he "can be vindictive," and that she feared "verbal and physical threats" by Jaramillo and his new wife.
She also feared as "an officer of the law…he will attempt to use those 'powers' against us all," she wrote.
Jaramillo's new troubles have not affected his job. State law requires a police officer's certification be revoked if he is convicted—or in some cases merely accused—of drunk driving, theft or aggravated assault. It does not, however, specify that domestic violence is a crime demanding an officer's dismissal.
A bill now winding its way through the Roundhouse and provoking heated debate would change that. House bill 17 would require that officers convicted of domestic violence lose their certifications by the state Law Enforcement Academy.
The change would not apply to Jaramillo, who hasn't been charged with domestic violence. It might apply to officers like Santa Fe Police Department Sgt. Michael LeBlanc, who remains certified despite three charges of domestic violence.
The high rates of domestic violence by first responders is well-documented, if somewhat taboo. Last year, Santa Fe County Sheriff Greg Solano announced he was taking steps to address stress-related domestic violence in his department.
According to the National Center for Women & Policing, police officer families experience domestic violence at four times the rate of the general public. If so, most cases go unreported.
In 2008, there were 20,000 domestic violence victims statewide, according to the New Mexico Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Yet, in the past three years, only 27 domestic violence cases involving officers made it before the state Law Enforcement Academy, according to NMSP spokesman Peter Olson.
The state police is the only police agency so far to publicly support the law change. "Police officers require a higher standard," NMSP Major Robert Shilling tells SFR. "All we have is our integrity."
Santa Fe Police Chief Aric Wheeler tells SFR he doesn't know enough to take a position on the bill. (On Feb. 2, the Journal North reported allegations that SFPD officers had displayed nude photos of a domestic violence victim inside headquarters.)
Sheriff Solano could not be reached prior to press time; in October, he told SFR Jaramillo's case "doesn't involve domestic violence, per se."
The Fraternal Order of Police and the New Mexico Sheriffs' & Police Association are fighting the bill—although neither calls their position opposition, per se.
FOP lobbyist David Heshley disputes the premise that an officer's judgment might be "tainted" by a domestic violence conviction. "Our officers are more professional than that," Heshley tells SFR.
SPA Executive Director Jim Burleson walked out of a Jan. 29 House Judiciary Committee hearing in evident disgust, after Rep. Antonio Maestas, D-Bernalillo, mentioned police brutality. "There's a correlation between being a violent person, a controlling person and being a less-than-stellar police officer," Maestas, who tells SFR he has prosecuted approximately 1,000 domestic violence cases, said.
That comment led former FBI agent and Rep. Dennis Kintigh, R-Chaves, to follow Burleson out of the room. Burleson was already hot after an earlier meeting with state Domestic Violence Czar Sharon Pino; her uncompromising attitude "pissed me off," he tells SFR. Pino tells SFR the Republicans' proposed amendments would have defeated the purpose of the bill.
Eventually, every Republican on the committee walked out of the hearing.
Rep. William Rehm, R-Bernalillo, showed concern for officers' jobs. "All of us, in our marital life, have had some disagreement with our spouse," Rehm said. "If my wife and I got in an argument and it was called in by a third party, an individual could be arrested for that and subsequently lose their career."
If the House passes the bill this week, as expected, it will head to the Senate Judiciary Committee; a similar bill died in the Senate last year.

Remember primary season, those 56 primaries, caucuses and prima-caucuses that dominated television for six manic months? There were Hillary Clinton's tears in New Hampshire, Barack Obama's guns-and-God deprecation in California, Bill Richardson's leper-lament to Wolf Blitzer, and John "Son of a Mill Worker" Edwards' only scandal was a hair-primping blooper set to West Side Story's "I Feel Pretty." And, oh yeah, weren't Joe Biden, Chris Dodd, Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel and Tom Vilsack candidates at some point?
Those were the good ol' days of presidential politics, when YouTube was rife with gut-busting spoofs and every other day one candidate was calling for shame on another. This week, as the Democratic National Convention unfolds (Aug. 25 to 28 at the Pepsi Center in Denver), the voting public will feel the last aftershock of the primary season. Once there was talk of a smoky, brokered convention, of Hillary's supporters fighting on the convention floor and scorched-earth tactics aimed at sabotaging Obama's 2008 bid in exchange for a second chance for Clinton in 2012. Now, however, the dust has settled and the GOP's secret prayers have gone unanswered: Unity ain't just a photo-op in New England.
But even without the drama, New Mexico's 38-member delegation to Denver (excluding alternates, non-voting delegates and pages) is excited for the convention to begin.
Former New Mexico Attorney General and DNC Platform Committee Co-Chairwoman Patricia Madrid's voice raises a thrilled pitch when she talks about the presumptive nominee, "No Drama" Obama.
"It's going to be very historic," Madrid, a convention veteran, tells SFR. "We're going to be able to tell our children and grandchildren that we were there when this man was nominated."
Though New Mexico's delegate is puny compared to Michigan's and Florida's (neither of which were supposed to have any delegates), the state will have one of the strongest voices at the convention. Not only was our governor the fourth most-viable presidential candidate (third, if you apply Edwards' infidelity retroactively), but he also put everything on the line by going tongue-to-tongue with Ragin' Cajun James Carville.
Furthermore, Madrid's position on the Platform Committee is one of the most powerful insider appointments available. Madrid's and Richardson's prominence also adds leverage for New Mexico's other standing committee members, who will have a say in whether Michigan and Florida get full votes and whether Clinton will have a chance to be nominated for the first ballot. Both proposals are now supported by Obama himself, even though only a few months ago, either one had the potential to overturn his nomination.
"I don't care who you're talking to, New Mexico is clearly a top-tier swing state," Democratic Party of New Mexico Chairman Brian Colón says. "I think the role New Mexico will play at the convention is the same as the role they're going to play in November—one of the most important states on the nominee's road to the White House."
And that's the real thrill of the convention: It will take more than field offices (17 as of mid-August) for Obama to woo New Mexico's crucial five electoral votes. So, citizens, get your dance cards ready, New Mexico will be among the most popular debutantes at the ball.

On Christmas Day I placed an order on Curry's web site for a fridge freezer, the added bonus for purchasing on Christmas Day was free delivery. Part of the order process was that you enter your postcode it then checks stock and then offers a delivery date. All this went without problem. Next you enter your credit card details. I was sent an email around 40 minutes later listing my order. I know the credit card went okay as the next day I was rung by my card companys Fraud Prevention Unit asking if I had made this purchase.
Late in the afternoon of the 30th over five days after the order was placed I was sent an email by currys canceling the order saying they were out of stock at my distribution centre. I rang them and despite speaking to an assistant and a line manager I got nowhere. The assistant said computer error and that centre probably never had stock, the line manager said problem with the credit card it only went through on Wednesday, I know the latter is untrue and as the same item was still on the front page of the site on Monday and Wednesday - without the free delivery flash - I doubt the latter is true.
My take is that they would rather sell at £19.99 more for items not ordered on Christmas Day.
Usually happens within an hour or so. I guess on Christmas day there wasn't anyone actually monitoring anything.
Even so - a retailer the size of Currys must be handling hundreds of these requests and it shouldn't be a surprise to them.
They also know when you placed the order.
I'm surprised they refused to honour your order given they seem to have admitted that it was their problem.

Safety, Tolerability,and Adherence to Co-formulated Tenofovir-emtricitabine-rilpivirine Used as HIV Nonoccupational Post-exposure Prophylaxis in Men Who Have Sex With Men. (EPEP)
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
This study aims to describe the safety, tolerability and adherence to the coformulated anti-HIV drug tenofovir-emtricitabine-rilpivirine (eviplera) when given to men who have sex with men (MSM) following an actual or potential sexual exposure to HIV. This biomedical intervention is known as nonoccupational post-exposure prophylaxis (NPEP). Patients receive NPEP if they meet the criteria outlined in the 2007 National Australian NPEP Guidelines. Three or two anti-HIV drugs are administered for 28-days depending on the severity of the the assessed HIV acquisition risk. In this study eviplera would constitute 3-drug NPEP. Tenofovir-emtricitabine (truvada) a component of eviplera has been used in NPEP at SVH since 2006.
This is a multi site, prospective, open-label, non-randomised trial. Participants will be MSM who present at the various recruitment sites requesting NPEP. Initially, 50 eligible participants will be assigned to receive eviplera 25mg once daily taken with food for 28-days according to established Australian guidelines for the use of 3-drug NPEP. There will be 7 visits over a 12-week period. Follow-up post NPEP is for 8 weeks. If an interim analysis demonstrates acceptable safety, it is proposed to seek ethics approval to increase the samples size to 100 patients to gain more accurate information on regimen completion rate and on-drug adherence.
The primary study objectives are:
- To describe the safety of 28 days of NPEP using co-formulated FTC-RPV-TDF
- To describe the tolerability of 28 days of NPEP using FTC-RPV-TDF
- To describe on-drug adherence and regimen completion rates of 28 days of NPEP using FTC-RPV-TDF
