The main goal of early phase trials is to gain knowledge about the clinical suitability of novel compounds, without pursuing specific therapeutic purposes. Healthy volunteers usually represent the ideal model for conducting phase I clinical trials, in order to investigate pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics as well as to document safety and tolerability without interference by concomitant pathological conditions. The increasing cost of novel drug development, in conjunction with ethical considerations, has fostered a new procedure for first-in-man trials, designated as "phase 0," which is conducted very early on a limited number of healthy volunteers who are exposed to low drug levels. The present review discusses issues concerning the enrollment of healthy volunteers in the early phase of drug development from different points of view, with some focus on the Italian experience. From the ethical standpoint, much discussion revolves around payments to healthy volunteers. Most authors agree that an adequate remuneration must be provided to healthy subjects, while avoiding coercion and excessive psychological pressure. Pending the lack of international and national guidelines, our center for clinical drug experimentation has implemented an operative procedure to estimate payments for healthy volunteers based on specific items, including restriction, time spent, discomfort, and risk. Other unresolved issues about the recruitment of healthy volunteers are represented by the lack of international consensus on the definition of healthy status and the need for guidelines about advertisement on clinical trials addressed to potential participants.

I am in total agreement with you. What if he had missed and killed an innocent child? Would everyone be celebrating this man? I think not. He may have killed the bad guy this one time but that was careless discharge of a gun he shouldn't have been carrying in the first place. He was no longer in danger. You don't flee after a man who just held a gun to you for Gods sakes. You let them go on and call the police. He was no longer in danger and shouldn't have followed him out.

New Jersey Candidate Tries Making Mrs. Clinton a Name to Beat
As Representative Robert D. Franks gets his campaign for the United States Senate from New Jersey up to speed, the liberal Democrat he says he is running against is beginning to sound like someone named Hillary Rodham Corzine. At a news conference here on Monday, Mr. Franks said Jon S. Corzine, the Democratic nominee, was trying to bring back Hillary Rodham Clinton's failed health care reform plan, and he attacked both Mr. Corzine and Mrs. Clinton as "celebrity candidates" trying to fool...

Dueling Attack Ads Etch Senate Campaign in Vitriol
Jon S. Corzine intensified his television campaign for the United States Senate today, letting loose a $2 million-a-week barrage of commercials that accuse former Gov. Jim Florio, his opponent in the Democratic primary, of lying about Social Security. Mr. Florio, meanwhile, made his harshest attack yet on Mr. Corzine, saying his rival, a former co-chairman of Goldman, Sachs & Company, stood to benefit personally if government money was put into the stock market to bolster Social Security.

UP FRONT: WORTH NOTING; The Governor Formerly Known as an Arena
The guest list for Brendan Byrne's 80th birthday party reads like a Who's Who in New Jersey and environs. About 200 revelers, from Thomas H. Kean and James Florio to Yogi Berra, and from Jon Corzine and Hugh Carey to John McPhee, have been invited to Drumthwacket on April Fool's Day. But it's no hoax: April 1 is the former governor's birthday. "It is a mixture of New Jersey politics, social, business, athletics; I would say the top of each of those," is how his wife, Ruthi Byrne, described the...

Campaign Detectives
Opposition research has long been common in political campaigns, and it sometimes leads to mudslinging and unfair attacks. But the recent use of private investigators to search for compromising information turns a tough but acceptable practice into a dangerous trend. Even a political neophyte like Jon Corzine ought to know better. The Corzine campaign's use of private detectives in the New Jersey Senate race, first reported in The Philadelphia Inquirer, became known after $200,000 in payments to a prominent New York lawyer, Stanley Arkin, showed up in a...

UP FRONT: WORTH NOTHING; Some Call It Potomac Fever, Others Call It . . .
Some call it Potomac Fever; others are less gracious. How else to explain why Jon Corzine and his wife of 33 years, Joanne, are splitting up? Senator Frank Lautenberg, whom Mr. Corzine replaced, was divorced from his wife of 31 years just four years after he was elected to the Senate. And Senator Robert Torricelli also divorced soon after he arrived in Congress. As for the Corzines, alphabetical seating in the first grade initially brought them together, and the relationship...

Corzine Issues Earnings Data; Florio Pounces
In the three years before Jon S. Corzine declared his candidacy for a United States Senate seat from New Jersey, he earned nearly $100 million as the co-chairman of Goldman, Sachs & Company, according to a summary of tax documents his campaign released today. And Mr. Corzine, whose fortune was believed to be about $300 million before this week's precipitous drop in the stock market, has been financing his campaign at a record pace -- mostly with his own money. According to filings with the Federal...

PRIMARY IN NEW JERSEY: THE OVERVIEW; Campaigns Quickly Stake Their Ground
Robert D. Franks was not halfway through his victory speech early this morning when he began ripping into Jon S. Corzine, his opponent in the New Jersey Senate race, as a dangerously out-of-touch spendthrift. The race to control the wide middle of New Jersey politics began even before all the votes were counted in Tuesday's primary, which left Mr. Franks as the apparent Republican nominee. And Mr. Franks's swift attack raised a question that he clearly hoped would define the race:...

Final Accounting Confirms Record Spending by Corzine
A final accounting shows that Jon Corzine spent $36.7 million, almost all of it his own money, to beat former Gov. Jim Florio and win the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate. No one else has spent that much money in an entire Senate campaign, much less a primary. Mr. Florio spent $2.5 million on his campaign. The sum, which was no surprise, based on what had already been reported, is more than $6 million higher than the previous record for a Senate race, set by Michael Huffington, a Republican, in...

Reckless Campaign Spending; Mr. Corzine's Gifts in New Jersey
After months of dodging, Jon Corzine, New Jersey's Democratic Senate candidate, has finally made public his recent charitable contributions. It was immediately apparent why he might have preferred to avoid disclosure. It turns out that Mr. Corzine, a multimillionaire who spent a record $35 million in winning the Democratic primary, gave more than $100,000 to politically active groups whose leaders or sponsors later endorsed him. Mr. Corzine insists there is no connection between his charitable giving and his...

Ethnic Remarks Shove Spotlight on Senate Hopeful
After promising to spend a million dollars a week on television commercials to introduce himself to New Jersey voters, Jon. S. Corzine, a Democratic Senate candidate, today found himself trying to distance himself from the kind of exposure no candidate could buy or would want -- publicity about ethnic slurs against Italian-Americans, the state's largest ethnic group. Mr. Corzine, whose appearances on the campaign trail have typically been attended by a few print reporters, found himself looking into 11...

McGreevey's Real Problem Is Judgment, Corzine Says
United States Senator Jon S. Corzine on Tuesday renewed his pledge not to push Gov. James E. McGreevey to leave office before Nov. 15, but took issue with Mr. McGreevey's contention that he was resigning because he had had an extramarital affair with a former aide. Speaking at his first news conference since the governor's resignation threw New Jersey politics into turmoil, Mr. Corzine said that the state's voters might have been tolerant of Mr. McGreevey's admission that he is "a gay American" and had...

Why does the US have such a high rate of gun murders?
by Thom Hartmann
posted Jul 23 2012 2:56PM
The shooter in the Aurora theater massacre, James Holmes, purchased more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition in the weeks leading up to the shooting, spending roughly $3,000 on his arsenal. He also purchased a bullet-proof vest and other tactical gear to mimic a SWAT team member, and high-capacity magazines that would have been illegal under the Assault Weapons Ban or any number of pieces of gun control legislation that have stalled out in Congress. Holmes built up his unusually large collection of deadly weapons just before the shooting without once raising a red flag with authorities. Also, not once, was he required to submit a background check or register his name to the purchases.
Tragically, 12 people are dead now as a result of his rampage. And despite the obvious lessons here, which are the same lessons we learned from the last year's Tucson massacre, that mentally unstable people can get a hold of extremely deadly weapons of war way too easy in this nation, don't hold your breath for sensible gun control legislation. Already, President Obama abandoned a call for gun control, arguing that we need to prevent gun crimes by relying on "existing law." And Democratic Governor of Colorado, John Hickenlooper, refused to endorse tougher gun control laws.
Even Conservative Commentator Bill Kristol argued that it was "foolish" for Democrats to not push for gun control. As Democratic Congresswoman, and strong supporter of gun control, Carolyn McCarthy bluntly said in an interview Sunday about her colleagues in Congress, "They don't have the spine anymore. They pander to who's giving them money."
And that right there, folks, is what's wrong with our nation. With money in control, common sense policies – like keeping assault weapons out of the hands of the mentally ill – are off the table. And instead, the crazies – those who think the massacre was a condemnation from God or staged by the Obama Administration to restrict gun rights – win the debate, simple because they also gladly accept money from the gun lobby that profits off more death and destruction in America. The Second Amendment is not a license to let mass murders continue without action.
Listen to me LIVE Monday through Friday 3 PM to 6 PM on WWRL 1600.

Very Very small!
By mom of 4 under 2

I bought this thinking it would be a night stand next to her princess bed that matches. When we got it and put it together it looks like a miniature play toy for my daughter. I guess you get what you pay for. Just rememer it is very small and nothing fits in the drawer

Multiple bidders eye Abu Dhabi's Gulf marine
PE firm Gulf Capital eyeing sale of GMS; Potential sale seen raising $500 mln - sources; Credit Suisse advising Gulf Capital on sale
January 17, 2012 3:09 by Reuters
Abu Dhabi private equity firm Gulf Capital has attracted nearly a dozen initial bids for its Gulf Marine Services unit (GMS), two sources said, with a sale seen generating around $500 million.
Gulf Capital, which has around $1 billion of assets under management, is planning to exit two investments in 2012, including GMS, a regional support barge company, its chief executive told Reuters last year.
"This sale will be a litmus test for other private equity exits in the region. It's a strong asset and the initial interest for it is encouraging," one banking source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Credit Suisse, which is also an investor in Gulf Capital's private equity funds, is advising on the sale, the sources said.
"The firm will be announcing shortly several transactions which are in the closing stage," CEO Karim El Solh said in an e-mailed statement.
Gulf Capital declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.
Firms in the region have been under pressure to exit some of their investments and return funds to their investors after the industry suffered heavily during the financial crisis.
Last year, leading regional firm, Abraaj Capital sold its stake in Turkish hospital group Acibadem to Malaysia's state-linked investor fund Khazanah Nasional.
Meanwhile, Kuwait's NBK Capital said on Sunday that it sold its Saudi fleet leasing and car rental firm Hanco and may cash out in an initial public offering for its Turkish investment Kilic Deniz.
Private equity investments in the region saw a sharp drop in the last couple of years with investors backing out of capital calls, sellers demanding higher prices than buyers were willing to pay and increasing competition from family groups hampering growth.
GMS' clients include prominent oil and exploration firms such as Saudi Aramco, Qatar Petroleum and ADNOC among others, the firm said on its website.
Gulf Capital owns stake in firms such as healthcare chain Techno Scan and water engineering firm Metito Holdings, according to its website.
Last year, Gulf Capital and another regional PE firm Amwal AlKhaleej sold their stakes in Maritime Industrial Services in a $336 million deal to Lamprell Plc in one of the rare private equity exits from the region.

Killington Area - Great Value! Clean, Comfortable, Sleeps 12+
- Minimum stay:Contact owner
- Internet:Yes
- Pets considered:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:No
Killington house description
Set on a private road in the hills just north of Pittsfield, our house welcomes you - winter or summer. Right in the heart of the Northeast's best winter-sports, it is very convenient to the Killington and Pico ski resorts. Sugarbush, Okemo, and the famous Mad River Glen are all within easy reach for day trips. For golfers, Vermont's #1 public golf course, Green Mountain National, is only ten minutes away, and in addition to Killington's own course, there are about 20 other excellent courses within an hour's drive.
The house is a comfortable and spacious (2,000+ sq.ft) three-bedroom contemporary split into four levels. It's a perfect place to relax and have fun whether you're on your own or with a group. With the large living area, the dining room and the den on different levels, the house caters to large numbers of people yet still affords privacy. While you soak up the heat of the big fieldstone fireplace upstairs, the gang could be watching TV or playing games downstairs.
The kitchen is big enough for family eat-in, and the dining room seats 10-12 comfortably. The two upper levels are especially bright and airy with high cathedral ceilings and numerous skylights. The two bedrooms on the lower middle level sleep 3 & 4 respectively and share a recently remodeled full bath. The master bedroom on the lower ground level sleeps 5 and has its own bathroom.
Though the ski areas and golf courses are probably the main attractions, there are a number of activities available right from the doorstep. Picturesque hiking/snowshoeing trails lead straight from the house into the vast forests of the Green Mountains. There are other trails nearby (no need to drive) that are suitable for cross country skiing or mountain biking. And if you're into something even more vigorous, the Vermont snowmobile trail network (VAST) is accessible from less than a half mile away.
In addition to the above, there are facilities for tennis, racquetball, bungee jumping (yikes!), alpine slide, swimming, fishing streams, tubing, music, theater, shopping, and any number of other activities nearby.
The '11-'12 ski season is going gangbusters with a full house nearly straight through. Please visit the guest book/review section for comments and reviews that previous renters have made. This summer we will complete more improvements, and the property is again available for short-term rentals over summer and fall 2012 - and of course for the '12-'13 ski season.

This house was just as described and better...very very clean and well maintained. Everything you need (from dishes to pots to hand towels and washer /dryer were available)...there were even a few snow sleds!!! Very private location but close to the action too. Just outside a quaint town with a general store/gasoline and a quick ride to the base of the mountain and the "action" if you like. Also, within walking distance of the national forest/trails...such a beautiful sight. Owner is great to do business with...such a pleasure (he was always available via phone/email). Would recomend to anyone (from young to old).Recommended for: Pet owners, adventure seekers, girls getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.
Owner response: Thanks for a great review! Very flattering. If you're happy then I'm happy! And of course, you're welcome back anytime! David

THE VIEWS ARE JUST AMAZING. IT IS VERY QUITE, IN A SECLUDED SPOT, BUT YET NOT TOO FAR FROM THE PLACES WE WANTED TO VISIT. MY ENTIRE FAMILY WENT, AND THERE WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE 10 OF US. WE HAD 2 CHILDREN AGES 5 AND 11 AND NEVER ONCE DID WE HEAR "I'M BORED". WE PLAN ON RETURNING NEXT YEAR AND MANY YEARS INTO THE FUTURE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS LOVELY HOME WITH US.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, girls getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. The front deck was great to sit out on and enjoy the night air. The kitchen and eating area, as well as the entertainment area, was very large lending nicely to large groups. We all could be together doing many things at the same time watching TV(Bruins losing to the Black Hawks!!! NICE- we are Rangers fans!) , playing pool, doing puzzles, chatting...all in the same space. The sleeping accommodations were perfect for a large group. It was clean and tidy and we had a blast...definitely recommend it. The owner is great to deal with.Recommended for: Pet owners, adventure seekers, girls getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car.

The rental was a great way to have long lost friends stay together. The dining table fit our big group and the split-level kept everyone united, even if doing separate activities. I agree with all of the reviews of the owner himself: David responded to every question kindly and promptly. There are (friendly!) neighbors much closer than expected and not much of a yard. The driveway/parking spaces became a suitable recreation space. Nice place for an out-of-the-way getaway, which is exactly what we were looking for.Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.

I want to start thanking David so much for the entire process clarity, flexibility and trustworthiness. The Pittsfield Ski House is amazing for family and groups; the house infrastructure is singular and very cozy. My family and I had a blast staying there for 2013 New Years Eve vacation. The house is placed close to everything and still keeps the mountain landscape and tranquility so much desired. Killington best ski is a short ride from the house as well as restaurants and other fun stuff that the area gives to its visitors. I am looking forward to find a reason to rent it again, and the fire place is FANTASTIC!!!

Great home, lots of space, good for families with young children. Kitchen was easy to work in, good counter space & appliances. Door between main levels and bedrooms levels was a nice feature for privacy/quiet. Location is very handy to Killington, Pico, Route 4 shops and restaurants. Reccomend the Long Trail Brewery! Sat out on deck, by a fire overlooking the river and trying their Harvest Brew after a nice long hike on Pico! Great weekend!Recommended for: Pet owners, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

We Enjoyed our stay in Pittsfield very much this fall. House had everything we needed for a great price. Pool table and ping pong were lots of fun. David, the owner, was great to work with and prompt with returning all emails. We loved that we could bring our dogs and newborn. Townspeople were great and local country store was awesome for food and some groceries. We had a good time exploring area. FYI, my husband and I are way to use to modern conveniences and missed cell phone reception, sidewalks , and close grocery stores that have diapers. keep this in mind if coming with little ones:)Recommended for: Pet owners, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Michele is right - though we do have a normal phone at the house, cell phone coverage is weak (if even available at all). Most cell phones work fine if you go down to the village. Speaking of the village, the general store (and the gas station market) there tries to keep a good stock of basics, but I wouldn't be surprised if occasionally they don't have something you need. Sidewalks? Well.... nope. None. We're in the forest after all. Part of the charm! See you again soon I hope! David

The house was great. The rooms were perfect, very comfortable and spacious. The bathroom and Kitchen were very nicely done and updated. The two living areas were great for everything (i.e. games, activities,etc.). David was there to answer all my questions before, during, and after the rental. We had a great time in the house. Would love to rent again, if I have the chance. Thank You David for everything.Recommended for: Families with teenagers.

We stayed at the house at the end of July, 2012. The description and photos of the house were very accurate. It was a very comfortable home for a large number of people, both kids and adults. Everyone enjoyed the pool table. The location is great, located on a dirt road, very private, quiet, and nice neighbors. We visited multiple cheese makers, the Vermont Country Store, Ben and Jerry's ice cream factory, climbed two mountains and saw a moose during our stay. The house is well supplied with cookware and dishes. The washer and dryer came in useful. The owner is very nice and easy to communicate with. He gives you a detailed list of instructions for the house that answered any questions we had. I wish more people that rent vacation homes would do this. In addition, he promptly answered any questions we had by e-mail. Overall, we would highly recommend the house for a vacation getaway. PS: Being able to bring along our cherished family dog made our stay that much better.Recommended for: Pet owners, families with teenagers, families with young children.

Thank you so much for a fabulous family vacation! The house was the perfect size for our family gathering and had everything we needed. The location is great - our kids went skiing at Killington while we went sightseeing, antiquing, hikiing and shopping. Evenings were filled with cooking together, games, music and playing pool. We spent 3 nights prior to Christmas, and even though there wasn't any snow on the ground, the slopes were open with great powder skiing. Thanks David for a wonderful vacation, we would definitely rent again! PeggyRecommended for: Pet owners, families with teenagers, families with young children, age 55+.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1986
About the owner: I'm probably not your average Vermont vacation home landlord. Though I consider myself to be from New York City, I have lived and worked all over the world - but primarily with a focus on telecommunications in Africa. Though I may have only played a small part, I can lay claim to having contributed over the last 15 years to providing mobile telephone services to more than 300 million people on the continent. When I first started, there were fewer telephones in the whole of Africa than in Manhattan - mobile or otherwise! Still on the same crusade, I am now based in Burundi (of all places!) after having lived the last twelve years in Holland, Spain and Egypt.
Why the Owner Chose Killington:
I have always been a skier. I started going up to Killington from New York in the early eighties, renting and organizing share houses to be able to afford the season's ski pass and the gas in my old Pontiac. On occasion I would bring my parents along and they decided they liked the area - especially in the fall and summer. Hence the decision to buy a house there - on condition that I help defray the costs by running it as a share house in the winter.
It was great fun for many years but when I moved overseas again it was impractical to run as before. So I started renting it by the season, and now for short-termers as well. I now own the house and this website has been a real benefit to keeping the place going. Though the rent never really manages to pay all the bills, I get good reviews and they encourage me to invest in making the house more and more comfortable every year.
When I'm lucky, I can occasionally squeeze in between the bookings and enjoy the place myself for a few days!

Band of the week - Lacrima Mortis
As you guys may think this is a doom metal band. It's sort of different in a lot of ways, it keeps the slow mood and chaotic full of death and sorrow lyrics. The thing i am loving about new bands like this one is they are cutting all the bullshit, no more stupid vampiric pianos full of evilness and sorrow songs of someone growling without any sense with a fancy "My wife died" theme, this band really gets you in a dark mood, the singer is amazing and there is obviously a great mind behind all the composition.

Qualcomm founder Irwin Jacobs honored by ASU

Irwin Jacobs started out as a professor whose ideas have shaped everything from satellite television to smartphones.
Jacobs, the founding chairman and CEO emeritus of San Diego-based Qualcomm Inc., will be honored Thursday as the Executive of the Year by the Dean's Council of 100, an advisory group to Arizona State University's W. P. Carey School of Business.
Jacobs said he didn't think when he was starting out that his company's inventions would transform industries, particularly telecommunications. Instead, it started out as consulting work on the side after seven years of teaching at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and six years at the University of California at San Diego.
"My first company was started fortuitously, with no business plan, as a way to do some consulting," he said.
Jacobs already had garnered a reputation as a trend-setter after the publication of a book he co-authored with Jack Wozencraft regarding digital communications called "Principals of Communication Engineering" that came out in 1965.
"The feeling before we wrote the textbook was that it was some interesting mathematics, but we didn't know if it had any real-world impacts," Jacobs said.
That book laid much of the groundwork for the revolution in mobile and satellite telecom.
In the late 1960s, Jacobs formed his first company, Linkabit Corp., with University of Southern California professor Andrew Viterbi and others. Jacobs said consulting turned into developing products. Initially it was a satellite link for HBO that evolved into the very small aperture earth terminals, or VSATs and the VideoCipher system that allowed homes to get satellite television feeds.

It would even be nicer than most licenses that require that sort of thing, because the requirements go away if the software is renamed. That way it stays easy to share code between free software projects. It's not going to stop FooCorp from releasing "ApachePro", though. But like I said, I don't think a software license can prevent that anyway.

All I can remember is a few cases where people registered debian.* domain names. I don't know what happened to them. (The domain name is not strictly a trademark issue, but it becomes one when they put up a page selling Debian CDs.) Richard Braakman

Exciting times at Hamp Academy
1:00pm Wednesday 11th September 2013 in News By Matthew Colledge
THE head teacher of a Bridgwater junior school says it is entering an exciting era after it became an academy.
The former Hamp Junior School is now Hamp Academy – sponsored by Bridgwater College.
The move aims to give the academy greater freedoms and flexibility in areas including the curriculum, employing staff, and the dates and length of school terms.
It will still be inspected by Ofsted, but will be responsible to the Bridgwater College Trust, rather than Somerset County Council.
Extra funding from the switch has allowed the academy to invest in its buildings and grounds – with new carpets, noticeboards, better computer equipment and replacement playground tarmac to prevent flooding – among the changes.
Luke Talmage, acting head teacher, said: "We are very excited about the creation of the Academy and believe that its links to the wider Bridgwater College Trust will have many benefits for the children, parents and carers of our school community.
"We will build on the history and successes of Hamp Junior School and aim to provide the highest possible academic, social, physical and moral standards in a happy, caring and well organised learning environment.
"We also hope to draw upon the experience and expertise of the college and other academy partners to continue our development into an outstanding school for our pupils and local community."
Mike Robbins, principal of Bridgwater College, said: "We were delighted to respond to the request of the previous governing body to become the sponsors of the Hamp Academy. "As sponsors we are also expected to challenge traditional thinking on how schools should be run and help to realise some of the benefits of moving outside local authority control. "We will also offer our expertise and support to raise attainment and achievement, whilst seeking to retain the core values and nurturing philosophy of the school, and plan to share good practice between the academies in the trust and the college."

Napster Drops Out of Canada, Warns Users Of Lost Purchases Due to Digital Locks |
| Print | |
Tuesday November 22, 2011
These downloads are DRM-encoded WMA files and can be backed up by burning them to audio CDs. Doing this will allow you access to your music on any CD player and generally have a maintenance free permanent copy. If you do not back up your purchased Napster music downloads by burning them to CD and you later change or reinstall your computer's operating system, have a system failure or experience DRM corruption, then the downloads will stop playing and you will permanently lose access to them. The issue of lost purchases due to digital lock systems has arisen again and again over the years from Bell Video to Yahoo Music. Bill C-11 will only make matters worse, since consumers will be locked out of their purchases and face the prospect of being unable to legally access works they have paid for in circumstances where the company decides to drop out of the market and stop support for their digital lock system.

Arsenal Receive Tripple Injury Boost Ahead Of Bayern Munich Clash
We've received some positive news on the injury front ahead of next weeks crucial Champions League first leg against Bayern Munich with the Telegraph reporting that Thomas Vermaelen, Jack Wilshere and Laurent Koscielny are all expected to be fit to face the Germans next Tuesday at the Emirates.
Vermaelen has not played since the 2-2 draw with Liverpool in January after picking up what looking at first to be a minor ankle knock. There were fears the defender may be forced to miss the Bayern game but it appears he's now winning his fitness fight with Arsene Wenger telling Arsenal.com on Thursday that he may even make the squad to play Blackburn on Saturday:
He is looking quite good and is possibly back for Saturday. He should be in the squad.
Vermaelen also confirmed that he's been back in training all week and is feeling 'great':
"At the moment I feel great, I trained all week, so hopefully I will be back really quickly," said Vermaelen is quoted as saying by the Telegraph
Wenger also revealed to the clubs official website that Wilshere and Koscielny will face late fitness checks for this weekend's FA Cup game but the Telegraph claim both players should be back to face Bayern next Tuesday.
Wilshere picked up a thigh injury against Sunderland while Koscielny aggravated a calf problem in the warm up for the game last week but it appears both are on course to make the Champions League last 16 clash.
With Kieran Gibbs out injured, Nacho Monreal cup-tied and Andre Santos off on loan to Gremio, the return of Vermaelen will be vital to face Bayern as he'll be expected to cover at left-back. Without the Belgian, we'd be left serious short of options.
I'd like to see Vermaelen, Wilshere and Koscielny all rested for Saturday's game with Blackburn. A defence of Jenkinson, Sagna, Mertesacker and Monreal should be solid enough to keep the Championship side at bay while Abou Diaby or Aaron Ramsey can step in for Wilshere in midfield. No need to take any unnecessary risks with them, we should have more than enough squad depth to beat Rovers.
Would you risk playing any of the trio against Blackburn? Get involved in the comments section below.

Jenkinson is suspended so he's out of the picture for saturday atleast. I'd love to see Vermaelen on d field, maybe 75mins downwards just to hav a run of d game before munich match.
February 15, 2013 at 10:22 am
My predicted line up should be: szny, ramsy, sagn, sacker, miqul, arteta, rosisky, oxlad, theo, podo, giroud.

I would leave vermalean and kos out give them extra recovery time miguel is capable enough. Wilshere though is another debate his drive and energy is better than ramsey's if you were going with a team for me it would be szcesney-sagna-mertsacker-miguel-monreal-diaby-arteta-eisfeld-gervinho-giroud-oxlaid-chamberlain subs: martinez, Coquelin ramsey Walcott poldolski cazorla wilshere. that means with thirty minutes to go if you need result throw on the big guns but give them a rest if possible maybe leave cazorla out and put Akpom in as striking alternative.
February 15, 2013 at 11:02 am
how can you have sagna, monreal, jenks and mertesacker in defence? thats only one cb! Kozza needs to play lets not forget the importance of the F.A cup.

The Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (OFSTED) has issued a report on Religious Education in English schools.
You can find the full report text, and a summary, on this page. OFSTED itself says:
Religious education (RE) makes a significant contribution to pupils' academic and personal development. It also plays a key role in promoting social cohesion and the virtues of respect and empathy, which are important in our diverse society. However, the potential of RE was not being realised fully in the majority of the schools surveyed for this report.
The report identifies barriers to better RE and suggests ways in which the subject might be improved. The report is written for all those who teach RE, for those who lead the subject, and for headteachers of primary and secondary schools.
The key findings of the report are copied in full below the fold.
The Church of England issued this statement:
The Revd Jan Ainsworth, the Church of England's Chief Education officer has issued a statement in response to today's publication from Ofsted Religious education: realising the potential which says that schools and the government have failed to focus effectively on religious education.
"It is no comfort to us that Ofsted's detailed report on the state of Religious Education in this country's schools confirms all the messages we have been giving the Secretary of State over the last two years. The Report places the blame for poor standards squarely on government policy. In particular the removal of support and squeeze on places for training RE teachers is a scandal and will take years to reverse. RE is still core curriculum in Church schools and we repeat our offer to the Mr Gove to work with him and the whole RE community to improve commitment and competence in this essential part of every child's education."
Media coverage is extensive:
Telegraph Ofsted: Christianity sidelined in poor quality RE lessons
Independent Ofsted says religious education teaching 'not good enough'
BBC Over half of schools failing in religious education, says Ofsted
Observer Church of England attacks Michael Gove over state of religious education
Mail on Sunday The pupils who are so badly taught they don't even know who Jesus was
Express Schools failing pupils on RE
The BBC Radio 4 programme Sunday also covered it at length, starting about 30 minutes in.
Key findings:
Surely as Britain faces a multicultural future, this subject needs priority in the battle for understanding and mutal trust. As an RE / history teacher I would agree with this analysis.
Posted by: Robert Ian Williams on Monday, 7 October 2013 at 5:46am BSTThe Church of England has a problem if it wants to be influential over curriculum matters.
If a teacher stands at the front of the room and says that women and gays are second-class citizens, and that certain jobs should be reserved for straight men and straight men alone, Ofsted would be all over them like a cheap suit.
But the CofE's official policy is precisely that.
So why should a sexist and homophobic organisation be listened to when it comes to setting educational policy? Why doesn't the CofE fix its own problems first?
Posted by: Interested Observer on Monday, 7 October 2013 at 11:30am BSTInterested Observer,
yes, if a teacher stood at the front saying those things it would be wrong.
But the RE curriculum is not about women and gay people.
The first time these topics come up is in Philosophy and Ethics in Year 12, when students who choose them as essay topics are expected to research the position of various Christian denominations and the debate within the church, and where they then write a proper analysis concluding with their own balanced opinion. No-one "stands at the front" indoctrinating them.
That doesn't make the churches' official positions on those issues remotely acceptable, but I think that there's a danger that we get bogged down in the debate and loose sight of what RE education is actually about and how it is played out in schools.
Posted by: Erika Baker on Monday, 7 October 2013 at 1:09pm BSTInterested observer...the British classroom is not a police state. Whilst I deprecate homophobia, an RE teacher would still have the right to sensitively teach in a religious school (state funded or otherwise) that practising homosexuality is still regarded by the sponsoring faith tradition as a sin.
Even in a state school, a teacher could tell pupils about differing views. At GCSE (16 year exams) students discuss and debate the issue of abortion and other ethical issues. Pupils in Catholic schools know for instance that abortion is a sin, but also the arguments for, and where the other side are coming from...vice versa in a state school setting.In examinations they are asked to show knowledge of both view points.

AP photographer Rich Pedroncelli said he learned nearly everything he knows about news photography from Zeboski and choked up as he spoke about his mentor.
"He was just a good person, and he translated being a good person into his job," Pedroncelli said.
Pedroncelli said Zeboski had a special talent for anticipating action and putting himself in position to get the best photograph.
"I watched him. He always was in the right spot," Pedroncelli said.
Zeboski's memorable images include a dazed Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme sitting in the backseat of a car following her attempted assassination of President Gerald Ford in 1975 and Queen Elizabeth visiting Yosemite National Park in 1983.
Pedroncelli said Zeboski was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for a feature photograph of Governor Edmund "Pat" Brown holding a frog at the Jumping Frog Jubilee in Angels Camp.
Pedroncelli said Zeboski's favorite newsmaker was Ronald Reagan, who was California's first celebrity governor.
Zeboski was given extraordinary access to the Reagan family in Sacramento, photographing intimate moments at their home on 45th Street.
One photograph shows then-Gov. Reagan playing football in the yard with his son, Ron.
Pedroncelli said the Associated Press offered Zeboski the opportunity to follow Reagan to the White House in 1980, but Zeboski declined.
"He liked Sacramento," Pedroncelli said.
Zeboski retired from the AP in the late 1980s following a stroke but remained active until shortly before his death.
Walt Zeboski is survived by his wife, Virginia and son, Jan.
The family is planning a private memorial service at their home on Saturday.

Operating any type of vehicle, however massive or modest, is no an easy task; specifically your Isuzu Rodeo racing along a turning path. To help with making the task of driving easier, every single driver needs its lighting fixtures to work like alerts, handled through the Isuzu Rodeo turn signal switch. Be sure to use a well functioning turn signal switch for a safer trip.
Positioned near the steering column, the turn signal switch is used to turn the lighting fixtures to convey a change in route while operating your Isuzu Rodeo. Attached to the lighting fixtures, the top parts of Isuzu Rodeo turn signal switches are usually levers which may be rotated possibly to the left or to the right from the neutral position. It is a crucial part considering that failure to use this turn signal switch for Isuzu Rodeo when you're on the road can result in a major automobile accident.
Keep the passengers along with your car safe by making certain you have a fully functional Isuzu Rodeo turn signal switch.

On with the predictions.
The state track meet is set to begin at 2 p.m. today in Charleston.
There are multiple people who are trying to figure out the state champions prior to the race even beginning. It's like the Super Bowl — who's going to win it all?
Odds favor the San Francisco 49ers, but hey, the St. Louis Rams could be a sleeper with their much-improved offense with the additions of Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin.
Although predictions are what people like to do, you can't outsmart true statistics.
A high volume of qualifiers led to a second place spot in the regional meet for both Fairmont Senior boys and North Marion girls track and field teams.
