So much -- -- After expiring patents caused the pharmaceutical industry to lose more than thirty billion dollars to generic competition last year.
Is the industry headed for a rebound this year joining me now -- Damien -- -- from school research from Morningstar welcome.
Thanks for having me so 530 Eli Lilly lost a hefty sum last year do you expect the industry to -- -- -- from these patent losses this year.
Yeah I think so I think Europe and approaching an inflection point for the pharmaceutical industry were really moving away from.
These major patent losses and really -- word.
Pipelines that are getting much better probably better pipelines than we've seen in the past five years I think that should really.
Entice the investment community to take a look at the stacks.
Where you know they've been trading flat for many many years and finally just over the last few months starting to get a little bit of momentum.
Well let's go in this direction a better pipeline better indications that a much tougher FDA right so.
Is that gonna -- getting -- products to market.
You know it could I think what happened is if you look at the past few years the after he got very conservative in response to the -- recall the of -- is scares a lot of high profile.
Drugs -- side effects into the if he's gotten very conservative in what.
The pharmaceutical firms have done in response.
Is really focus to areas of unmet medical need -- -- -- in oncology and neurology and and the analogy in in these areas if he even show a little bit of efficacy.
You're probably gonna get through the FDA.
And that's much different then the judge that these firms are bringing to the FD a few years ago there were largely in primary care indications.
Aren't very much harder busters get dizzy hard hit.
Any big billion dollar revenue generator set will -- very soon.
I think so I think from fighter's standpoint.
They have a new drug that was just approved -- Zell Jansen this is in rheumatoid arthritis.
This could be a major Blockbuster it's a huge indication very strong -- team.
Another product that Pfizer's partner with them.
Upper Echelon it's called eloquence and this is for each of -- again.
-- other big product -- -- -- giant products in Pfizer's pipeline that I think really sets of Pfizer's pipeline to be one of the best it's been in many years.
And then you got the Obama care mandated insurance going into effect next year I imagine.
That's got to help the drug industry across the board brand names -- generics.
I think -- -- I think this is one thing that is just starting they come on the investors' radars for big pharma.
In 2014.
Get the mandated insurance that's gonna increase drug sales.
And generics would benefit a little bit more than branded farmer but nevertheless -- farmers should get a nice tail wind from obamacare into 2014.
So what is going on with the Supreme Court we know it's gonna take up this some so called pay for delay that's.
Essentially whether or not the brand name drug makers should be able to pay generic drug companies for agreeing to actually delayed putting treatments to market.
How do you think this sentence who wins.
He would be I think it's probably gonna be a case where you'll likely see.
The generics and the pharmaceutical firms be the winners here and the way that they wind is that I don't think that the Supreme Court will rule against these.
Sort of agreements in the past almost all the other cases had.
Largely favored the sort of settlements in the settlements are beneficial for both branded.
From sort of -- companies engineer companies I think it's gonna be a win for industry on this one Damian I really have no time but Eli Lilly are fighting who's the better stock -- They'll probably right now we're looking at -- potentially little bit better position great pipeline through most of its patent losses.
Doing a lot of stuff with restructuring I think prices -- of a better positioned pretty information today Damien Conover thanks so much of Morningstar.

Feb. 5, 2010 at 9:00 AM ET
Lately, Internet users have been poking fun at each other at record rates, using sites with names like EPIC FAIL to chronicle technological foibles and missteps. Perhaps they are laughing to stop from crying.
Technology letdowns such as dying cell phone batteries or lost computer files can to lead to everything from pesky annoyances to computer rage, clinical depression, or worse. A growing body of research suggests that the invasion of the digital age is literally rewiring our brains, eroding skills once considered essential for a happy adult life. Gadgets were supposed to make our lives easier and save us time. Instead, we are more stressed and have less time than ever. What is the cause of this epic failure?
Millions of Americans were carried into the modern era by Walt Disney's "Carousel of Progress" ride, invented for the 1964 World's Fair. The ride offered a quick look at five eras in American history -- beginning with a housewife complaining about spending five hours doing laundry. In the last scene, "The glories of today" are revealed, with clean modern living and "a kitchen that all but runs itself." The happy result: seemingly boundless leisure time. Visitors left the ride humming "Great Big, Beautiful Tomorrow."We're still waiting.
"Technology promised us extra time. Well, that didn't come true. We are shorter of time now, busier, then we've ever been as a society," said psychologist Michelle Weil, author of the book "Technostress."
Technology has filled our world with modern miracles -- instant global communication, frictionless commerce, information available to all for free and, most important, millions of lives saved and improved by medical science. But all this progress has not come without a price. It would be ignorant to argue that technology hasn't made the world better. But often we are blind to the fact that technology creates almost as many problems as it solves.
"We weren't prepared for that," Weil said. "We were prepared for a smooth ride literally. We were not prepared for more issues in our lives. We have enough issues."
Working in an office with a poor cell-phone signal. A laptop battery that won't hold a charge any longer. A car charger that short-circuits when the oversized coffee cup falls out of the cup-holder and spills. These daily headaches -- let's call them technoflubs -- have become a way of life. Stack them together in one bad day and you have something Weil called technology's version of a "bad hair day." String a few of those bad days together and you get something much worse.
"When gadgets let us down, we feel frustrated, stumped, upset, scared, we feel stupid, like we did something to mess it up, and we feel helpless," she said. "Those are all the same feelings you have when you are depressed. The issue is literally a dependency issue, and it works like any other kind of dependency on alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex. We have come to expect technology to do certain things for us, and when it fails -- which it does often -- and we have no clear answer, we become depressed."
And sometimes, says Professor Kent Norman of the University of Maryland, we rage. Five years ago, Norman introduced the world to the term "computer rage," following the viral success of a series of YouTube videos showing frustrated users smashing their suddenly impotent PCs into bits.
Failure by the numbers
There isn't great data available on the number of technoflubs that U.S. consumers encounter every day, but the Pew Internet and American Life Project took a stab at an estimate two years ago. Here are the sobering results.
Can't be fixed
What can consumers do when their gadget breaks? Generally nothing. Unlike old-fashioned mechanical devices, few electronic devices have user serviceable parts, making consumers even more helpless and vulnerable to failures.
"Think about a car. Your grandparents could fix basic problems that a Model T had. In fact, a prerequisite of owning a car was that you could fix it," said Lee Rainie, a Pew project spokesman. "Now, you just have to take a (broken gadget) into the store and ask for help."
And break, they will. You may love your simple phone, and that basic PC might be good enough for your mom to type letters and e-mail, but the idea of owning an appliance until it dies a natural life is antiquated. Given the perpetual upgrade cycles, software patches, network requirements and so on, gadgets are not built to last.
"If you have a phone you like and it breaks, you can't get that phone again; it's gone," Weil said. "You only have the choices they give you."
Even on days when our computers and gadgets don't fail us, the pressure is always there, Weil warns. Cell phone users spend many evenings glancing nervously at their battery strength, hoping the gadget will work long enough to accept that critical phone call on the commute home.
"We think about looking at our batteries more than we think about eating," Weil said. "You constantly have to bring the charger so you can plug it in in the car. You have to make sure you plug it in at night or you are going to have difficulty. It's another thing you have to think about all the time."
There are varying degrees of failure, of course. When a car breaks down in your driveway, it's far less serious than a breakdown in the middle of the Arizona desert. But if technostress seems to be growing, Rainie said, it's because we are taking far more trips through the digital desert these days.
"The problems that people have grow in urgency the more they rely on their technology," he said. "Our expectations for technology are growing. The frustration is in direct proportion to dependence on the instrument. Once you become used to perpetual contact with everybody, all of the sudden the loss of contact becomes a much more meaningful thing."
Constant conversation
Richard Ling, a technology professor at the University of Copenhagen, has been studying the concept of constant contact for a decade. No longer do people call each other at home or at work, hoping to find them. Smart phone mean that calls, texts, and e-mails always find their targets. That means friends and family are never really separated.
"This is a constant conversation we are in, an ongoing dialog," Ling said. "I know what's going on with people I care about at a different level now. I know what's in the refrigerator at my friend's house."
Some consequences of this are obvious -- the drunken text or the raging e-mail that we regret moments after sending. In the past, time and distance might have served the function of "taking a deep breath." No more. Instant communication means having to say you're sorry.
Other downsides might not be so apparent. Being in constant connection with friends, family or employers can be both stressful and demanding.
But in a more subtle way, constant contact seems to be cheating people of the ability to plan, and to commit to plans, Rainie said. Witness a typical negotiation among teens or 20-somethings about Friday night fun. The discussion begins with frantic texting during seventh period, or at 3:30 p.m. Rendezvous places are picked and discarded, and meeting times considered mere approximations. Texting continues as the night begins. "Running late," "I'll meet you inside," and then, "It's lame here, let's go the other bar instead." The mental satisfaction of having a plan come together never arrives.
'Continuous partial attention'
Some experts think these subtle changes are causing great harm to our neurological well-being. Gary Small and Gigi Vorgan made a series of dramatic claims about the way digital devices are rewiring young brains in their 2008 book "iBrain, Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind." Most of their assertions aren't pretty. Given that adults commonly consume two, three or even more gadgets at once now -- all while carrying on conversations with people – they are beginning to lose their ability to focus and concentrate, they say. They describe a phenomenon called "continuous partial attention," a state of divided attention which leaves people unable to perform tasks that require concentration. Worse, it leaves its victims less and less able to connect with and empathize with each other, they said.
"When our minds partially attend, and do so continuously, we scan for an opportunity for any type of contact at every given moment," they wrote. "(People) no longer have time to reflect, contemplate, or make thoughtful decisions. Instead, they exist in a sense of constant crisis -- on alert for a new contact or bit of exciting news or information at any moment." Under that kind of stress, the brain secretes cortisol and adrenaline, creating a temporary high followed by depression, leading to something the authors call "techno-brain burnout."
In children, the effects can be worse, they said. When face-to-face contact is replaced by excessive digital media, a child's neural circuits can atrophy and the brain may not develop normal interactive social skills. Small and Vorgan believe this is a big problem, and that a class of young heavy media users they call Digital Natives are suffering from extreme antisocial tendencies.
"Several studies in both children and adults ... tie frequent technology use to conditions such as ADD, ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety and even sociopathic behavior," they said.
The Dumbest Generation
Emory University English Professor Mark Bauerlein sees other risks in this phenomenon, and laments them in his book, "The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future. " He's worried that technology that was supposed to make our kids learn faster and smarter is actually robbing them of the ability to think.
"The Internet doesn't impart adult information; it crowds it out," he wrote. Students -- even top college students -- read rarely now, and the slang used for online chatting is eroding writing skills.
Bauerlein's work was featured in a new PBS documentary "Digital Nation," which premiered this week. The show took on the issue of divided attention, quoting professors who struggle to keep the interest and attention of students they know are playing with Facebook during class. While the professors complained, students asserted that they were perfectly capable of effectively multitasking.
Hardly, Bauerlein argues. Students may manage to pass tests in school, but thanks to distractions the students retain little knowledge required for culture, citizenship or good consumerism. The reason Jay Leno's "Jaywalking" segment -- when random adults seem unable to answer basic questions such as how many stars are on the U.S. flag -- is so funny is because it's true.
Sticking up for tech
There are many valid defenses for technology. It's just a tool, of course -- the Internet doesn't kill brains, people kill brains. Obviously, a tool that allows people to find virtually any fact ever known within a few seconds can help make people a lot smarter.
Even Weil, the "Technostress" author, is quick to say that technology is not the problem: "The problem is the way people use technology, and the expectations they have for it," she said.
People have come to depend too much on gadgets, and fail to plan for the logical possibility that they will occasionally break down. Having simple backup plans in place – in case my phone dies, I'll meet you at 8 – can relieve much of the dependency-related stress.
Meanwhile, too much alcohol, too much chocolate cake, too much exercise -- all these things can be bad for people, just like too much digital exposure. Most technology reporters who cover the dark side of the Web -- porn, gambling, privacy, electronic crime -- eventually come around to the notion that technology changes nothing. All those bad habits existed before the Web and continue to exist in spite of the Web. It's fair to ask, then, where the fault lies for "The Dumbest Generation" -- with overexposure to digital media, or with adults who don't force the kids to turn off the laptops and listen once in a while.
Blaming youth would be a mistake, too, as brain studies show the deleterious effect of too much digital media impacts all ages. In fact, older people are less equipped to deal with overstimulation and hyperconnectivity.
Meanwhile, Ling offers this reminder: Global connectivity creates millions of small success stories every day. Unlike television, which can be isolating, cell phone technology can help create feelings of true intimacy.
This week, his daughter bought her first computer and called him on her way out of the store.
"I was able to share that exact moment with her, even though she was 2,000 miles away (at school). Now that was wonderful," he said.
Note: An earlier version of this column said the transistor was invented in 1964. As readers have correctly pointed out, that was an epic failure -- it was invented in 1947.

Yeah, as I mentioned earlier I won't be adding to it now that the store is up. Both you and Casto have been awesome at spotting songs quickly and posting them, much faster than I was able to get around to it. If one of you wants to start a new thread, either as a complete list using this list as a base, or a "new songs this week" sort of thread, feel free!
(Plus, I only had 3 posts to begin with and I expect a complete list of RBN songs will outgrow that in the coming months...I didn't even expect the list of launch tracks to need more than one post. )
I'm sure it's already been answered, but how often do songs get put into the store?

The 24 Hours of Daytona, currently known as the Rolex 24 At Daytona for sponsorship reasons, is a 24-hour sports car endurance race held annually at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. It is run on a 3.56-mile (5.73 km) combined road course, utilizing portions of the NASCAR tri-oval and an infield road course. Since its inception, it has been held the last weekend of January or first weekend of February, part of Speedweeks, and it is the first major automobile race of the year in the United States.
The race has had several names over the years. Since 1991, the Rolex Watch Co. is the title sponsor of the race under a naming rights arrangement, replacing Sunbank (now SunTrust) which in turn replaced Pepsi in 1984. Winning drivers of all classes receive a steel Rolex Daytona watch.
In 2006, the race moved one week earlier into January to prevent a clash with the Super Bowl, which had in turn moved one week later into February a few years earlier.
The race has been known historically as a leg of the informal Triple Crown of endurance racing,[1] although increasing isolation from international Sports Car racing regulations has seen a gradual shift of importance to Petit Le Mans. However, the link is expected to be reunited with the unification of the sport in 2014.
Shortly after the track opened, on April 5, 1959, a six-hour/1000 kilometer USAC-FIA sports car race was held on the road course. Count Antonio Von Dory and Robert Mieres won the race in a Porsche, shorted to 560.07 miles due to darkness.[2]
In 1962, a few years after the track was built, a 3-hour sports car race was introduced. Known as the Daytona Continental, it counted towards the FIA's new International Championship for GT Manufacturers. The first Continental was won by Dan Gurney, driving a 2.7L Coventry Climax-powered Lotus 19.[1] Gurney was a factory Porsche driver at the time, but the 1600-cc Porsche 718 was considered too small and slow for what amounted to a sprint race on a very fast course.
In 1964, the event was expanded to 2,000 km (1,240 mi), doubling the classic 1000 km distance of races at Nürburgring, Spa and Monza. The distance amounted to roughly half of the distance the 24 Hours of Le Mans winners covered at the time, and was similar in length to the 12 Hours of Sebring, which was also held in Florida in March. Starting in 1966, the Daytona race was extended to the same 24-hour length as Le Mans.
24-hour history[edit]
Unlike the Le Mans event, the Daytona race is conducted entirely over a closed course within the speedway arena without the use of any public streets. Most parts of the steep banking are included, interrupted with a chicane on the back straight and a sweeping, fast infield section which includes two hairpins. Unlike Le Mans, the race is held in wintertime, when nights are at their longest. There are lights installed around the circuit for night racing, although the infield section is still not as well-lit as the main oval. However, the stadium lights are turned on only to a level of 20%,[citation needed] similar to the stadium lighting setup at Le Mans, with brighter lights around the pit straight, and decent lighting similar to street lights around the circuit.
In the past, a car had to cross the finish line after 24 hours to be classified, which led to dramatic scenes where damaged cars waited in the pits or on the edge of the track close to the finish line for hours, then restarted their engines and crawled across the finish line one last time in order to finish after the 24 hours and be listed with a finishing distance, rather than dismissed with DNF (Did Not Finish). This was the case in the initial 1962 Daytona Continental (then 3 hours), in which Dan Gurney's Lotus had established a lengthy lead when the engine failed with just minutes remaining. Gurney stopped the car at the top of the banking, just short of the finish line. When the three hours had elapsed, Gurney simply cranked the steering wheel to the left (toward the bottom of the banking) and let gravity pull the car across the line, to not only salvage a finishing position, but actually win the race.[1] This led to the international rule requiring a car to cross the line under its own power in order to be classified.
The first 24 Hour event in 1966 was won by Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby driving a Ford Mk. II. Motor Sport reported: "For their first 24-hour race the basic organization was good, but the various officials in many cases were out of touch, childish and lacked the professional touch which one now finds at Watkins Glen."[3] After having lost in 1966 at Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans to the Fords, the Ferrari P series prototypes staged a 1–2–3 side-by-side parade finish at the banked finish line in 1967.[4] The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 road car was given the unofficial name Ferrari Daytona in celebration of this victory.[5]
Porsche repeated this show in their 1–2–3 win in the 1968 24 Hours. After the car of Gerhard Mitter had a big crash caused by tyre failure in the banking, his teammate Rolf Stommelen supported the car of Vic Elford and Jochen Neerpasch.[clarification needed] When the car of the longtime leaders Jo Siffert and Hans Herrmann dropped to second due to a technical problem, these two also joined the new leaders while continuing with their car. So Porsche managed to put 5 of 8 drivers on the center of the podium, plus Jo Schlesser and Joe Buzzetta finishing in 3rd place, with only Mitter being left out.[6]
Lola finished 1–2 in the 1969 24 Hours of Daytona. The winning car was the Penske Lola T70-Chevrolet of Mark Donohue and Chuck Parsons.[7] Few spectators witnessed the achievement as Motor Sport reported: "The Daytona 24-Hour race draws a very small crowd, as can be seen from the empty stands in the background."[8]
In 1972, due to the energy crisis, the race was shortened to 6 hours, while for 1974 the race was cancelled altogether.
In 1982, following near-continuous inclusion on the World Sportscar Championship, the race was dropped as the series attempted to cut costs by both keeping teams in Europe and running shorter races. The race continued on as part of the IMSA GT Championship.
The regular teams were expanded to three drivers in the 1970s. Nowadays, often four or five drivers compete. Many of these additional drivers are known as "gentleman racers"; people with the personal means to buy their place in the cockpit. The winning entry in 1997 featured as many as seven drivers taking a turn in the cockpit.
Grand American and Daytona Prototypes[edit]
After several ownership changes at IMSA which changed the direction the organization followed, It was decided by the 1990s, the Daytona event would align with the Grand-Am series, a competitor of the American Le Mans Series, which, as its name implies, uses the same regulations as the Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Grand Am series, though, is instead closely linked to NASCAR and the original ideas of IMSA and focused on controlled costs and close competition.
In order to make sports car racing less expensive than elsewhere, new rules were introduced in 2002. The dedicated Daytona Prototypes (DP) use less expensive materials and technologies and the car's simple aerodynamics reduce the development and testing costs. The DPs began racing in 2003 with six cars in the race.[9]
Specialist chassis makers like Riley, Dallara, and Lola provide the DP cars for the teams and the engines are branded under the names of major car companies like Pontiac, Lexus, Ford, BMW, and Porsche.
Daytona GTs[edit]
The Gran Turismo class cars at Daytona are closer to the road versions, similar to the GT3 class elsewhere. For example, the more standard Cup version of the Porsche 996 is used, instead of the usual RS/RSR racing versions. Recent Daytona entries also include BMW M3s and M6s, Porsche 911s, Chevy Camaros and Corvettes, Mazda RX-8s, Pontiac GTO.Rs, and Ferrari F430 Challenges. The Audi R8 and the Ferrari 458 Italia debuted in the 50th anniversary of the race in 2012.
In an effort for teams to save money, GT rules have now changed to permit spaceframe cars clad in lookalike body panels to compete in GT (the new BMW M6, Chevrolet Camaro, and Mazda RX-8). These rules are similar to the old GTO specification, but with more restrictions.
The intent of spaceframe cars is to allow teams to save money, especially after crashes, where teams can rebuild the cars for the next race at a much lower cost, or even redevelop cars, instead of having to write off an entire car after a crash or at the end of a year.
GX Class[edit]
The 2013 race was the first year for the GX class. Six cars started in the event. The class consisted of purpose built production Porsche Cayman S and Mazda 6 racecars. Mazda debuted their first diesel racecar there which is the first time a diesel fuel racecar ever started at the Daytona 24. Throughout the race, the Caymans were dominant, while all three Mazdas suffered premature engine failure and retired from the race. By a 9 lap lead, the #16 Napleton Porsche Cayman, driven by David Donohue, was the first GX winner.
Star drivers appearances[edit]
Since the Rolex 24 has a winter date during the off-season for other racing series, many top class drivers are available to take part in the event if sponsorship commitments allow. The track's marketing has sold the roll call of champions, considering the race a sort of "all-star" event of motorsports figures. Since each entry requires 3–5 drivers to trade shifts throughout the 24 hours, dozens of one-off drivers are necessary, and top-level participants from other forms of racing are highly sought after.
From NASCAR, drivers including Rusty Wallace, Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Kyle Petty, AJ Allmendinger, Mark Martin, Jamie McMurray, Kevin Harvick, Brian Vickers, Marcos Ambrose, Clint Bowyer, Michael Waltrip, Robby Gordon, and Nelson Piquet Jr. have all participated, with Martin and Robby Gordon notably winning several class victories for Roush Racing in the GTO class in the 1980s–90s. In 2001, Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. teamed together in a Corvette, just weeks before Earnhardt's death in the Daytona 500.
Indianapolis 500 winners Buddy Rice, Dan Wheldon, Hélio Castroneves, Juan Pablo Montoya, Sam Hornish, Jr., and Dario Franchitti are all recent participants. Other recent IndyCar drivers to take part in the event are Paul Tracy, Scott Sharp, Mario Andretti, Michael Andretti, Marco Andretti, Sébastien Bourdais, Danica Patrick, Jimmy Vasser, Scott Dixon, James Hinchcliffe, and Graham Rahal.
In addition, drivers in the race included celebrities such as Tim Allen, Frank Beard, Robert Carradine, Patrick Dempsey, James Garner, Gene Hackman, Bruce Jenner, Perry King, Lorenzo Lamas, Phil Mahre, Craig T. Nelson, Paul Newman, Dan Pastorini, Brian Johnson, and Jason Priestly.[10]
Porsche has the most overall victories of any manufacturer with 22, scored by various models, including the road based 911, 935 and 996. Porsche also won a record 11 consecutive races from 1977–1987 and won 18 out of 23 races from 1968–1991.

I'm gonna try my hardest to get this to make as much sense as possible. I'm trying to make a very long story, very short. I guess what I can do is just give you the main points, or highlights. A lot of the people here are very generous, courtious, and knowledgable. I sometimes feel like some of you are friends, or maybe even family, because of talking together so much, giving each other advice, etc.
So, anyways, to the point of this thread;
- Summer 2006, my ex and I begin dating. I'm 19 going on 20. I'm told by my ex's best friend that she's 16 going on 17, but come to find out, she was only 15. Our parents were both very concerned about the age difference, but they eventually ended up accepting the situation. Things started with us as friends, but then progressed.
- April 2007, my ex and I find out that she's pregnant with my child. I told her that I would support her either way, no matter what she chose to do. She chose to continue with the pregnancy.
- June 2007, I begin seeing and hearing interesting messages via IM and text, and on her voicemail. I confront her since it was a male individual. She tells me that he's just a friend. I don't say "I love you" to girls that I'm friends with and I don't bash my friend's boyfriends/girlfriends, but whatever. Moving on...
- July 2007, my ex's new friend somehow finds out my information (cell phone number and screen name - I eventually find out that my ex supplied him with my information.) He insists on harrassing me, talking shiit, and making threats (Let me mention here that, he's 5'4'' and 110 lbs, and I'm 5'8'' and 205 lbs.) My ex eventually joins in by listening in on the calls and trying to say whatever she can to make me jealous, aka piss me off. I begin working 12-hour shifts at a local manufacturing plant, with full benefits and making $13/hr to start.
- August 2007, I find out that my ex and this guy (Come to find out, she met him on Myspace [go figure] and he's 16, but going on 17 at some point.) My ex calls me up late one night, crying, telling me that she had something to confess to me. She tells me that she ended up cheating on me with this kid. Her excuse was, "You weren't there. You were at work. I couldn't wait until you got home." God forbid, I'm working long hours to save up money for her, our son, and myself.
- August 2007 (Mid-August), my ex insists on making plans with me to 'work shiit out.' We agree to meet at her mother's place (her parents are seperated.) I go there and, to my surprise, she arrives with this guy. I begin to confront them. She tells me to go home and we'll talk it over later. The guy, well... he Forrest Gump's his ass like there's no tomorrow. I chased after him, beat him to the ground, but only until my ex's mother came out, screaming, biting me, pulling my hair, scratching me, etc. She threatens to call the police. Three people pry me off the guy. I leave and surrender to the police. I could've gotten charged with Trespass 1st, Stalking 4th, and Assault 3rd. For some reason, the Stalking 4th charge stuck, but everything else was dropped. I spent a night in city jail and go to court the following morning. An OFP (Order For Protection) is issued in my ex's favor, but it's only temporary (2 weeks.) I was living with my father and this whole situation was stressful on him, as he's an older guy. I get kicked out and a close friend's family takes me in for 2-3 weeks. My ex and I are officially broken up.
- September 2007, 13 nights into the 14, my ex tracks me down at a friend's house. She comes crying to me, wanting to talk things over, once again. I knew that I was gonna get caught if I went and had court the following morning. I did the stupidest thing ever and went with her. An off-duty cop must've seen us together and reported it. I surrendered to the police and got charged with Criminal Contempt 2nd. I almost got charged with Endangering The Welfare Of A Child, but that charge was dismissed a couple of months later, which I'm getting to. The following morning I go to court. I'm taken into custody and face up to 3 months in jail. The OFP is extended for 2-3 months, even though my ex and the DA had spoken on several occasions about getting it dropped. I was in custody for about an hour, then bailed out $500 cash/$1000 bond.
- November 2007, the Stalking 4th charge is dropped. The Endangering charge is dismissed. I plead guilty to Criminal Contempt 2nd and am sentenced to 3 years of probation. The 2-3 month OFP is extended until November 08, 2012! I enter probation and VIP (Violence Intervention Program), which lasts for 32 weeks.
- December 2007, I'm borderline depressed. I struggle with everything. I get shot down my several jobs due to my new criminal record and probation.
- January 2008, my son is born. I'm unable to see his birth, or even in general, due to the OFP that my ex still has against me. More employers continue to shoot me down because of my record and probation. Now that my son's here, I begin to struggle even more. All I want is to be with him.
- February 2008, so far, I've already been shot down by one or two employers. They won't say why, but I'm used to this by now. I know exactly why: criminal record and probation.
I'm trying my hardest to get back in with the US Postal Service, as I've done temporary work for them before, but I'm going for a permanent position this time. The pay and benefits are outstanding. Everyone there enjoyed working with me, so hopefully my story gives them a little more of incentive. I must have a job, so that I can have money, because I need a family lawyer and may need a criminal lawyer. I'm petitioning to have a Court Order put out against my ex, ordering her to show up to Family Court for a paternity test. My son is, without a doubt, mine. He looks exactly like me, but I can fight her for custody if he's not proven to be mine. I'm petitioning myself, so that I pay child support. It's the only right thing to do. I wanna be in my son's life, more than anything. I'm also petitioning to have a Court Order, ordering her to show up for court, so that I can get joint legal custody. But here's the thing; I tried filing these petitions a few weeks back, but the court clerk noticed my ex's birthdate and suggested that I get a lawyer before filing the petitions. She mentioned that the Family Court judge, though he's more concerned about our son being raised right, might bring up the age difference between my ex and I, and may question whether or not it's been dealt with in a criminal court. This scared the shiit out of me, of course. I've been through enough already. I'm the real victim here! So, would it be a good idea to hire a family lawyer and a criminal lawyer? I have lawyers lined up, but I just need to pay them. They're some of the best in my area. I'd just rather spend the money for a criminal attorney and have him there, just to be safe. Or, would this not be necessary? I've heard that the Family Court couldn't do anything to me because 1) he cares about the child and the child only 2) a charge was already pursued against me, but dropped and 3) I'm already serving a sentence and the judge can't infringe upon it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm sorry if this seemed like so much to read. I'm grateful for you taking your time to read this. This wasn't easy. I constantly have to discuss this, write about it, think about it, etc. It seems to help at times.

Coldplay, Parachutes: Man, it is so much fun to deride Coldplay now. Between Chris Martin's self-righteous superstardom and Coldplay's uber-radio friendliness, they're impossible to take seriously as real people anymore, let alone a band that was unknown ten years ago. Remember 2000? When Coldplay burst out with "Yellow"? You're probably sick of it now, but that song was actually awesome. Katie always makes the point that every Coldplay album is the same, and buying the same album over and over is frustrating. I make the point that a copy of a copy is never as sharp as the original. But Coldplay's original was excellent enough that even a copy is still pretty good. And I think that original, Parachutes, will always be both their best album and their best moment in time. It made shoegaze (British for sad emo) accessible to the masses. It's a quiet album that you can turn up loud. Yoou can sing along or dance at a prom in a teen drama. And those songs will get stuck in your head for years.
Cobra Starship, Viva La Cobra: "The Scene" is unbelievably insular. There are things taht are and are not okay. Hardcore is always okay, and until the middle of the decade, dance music wasn't. Everything had to mean something, and what could dance possibly mean? Then scene God Pete Wentz embraced the undeniably emo lyrics and dance pop anthems of Panic! at the Disco. Once everyone was okay with that electronic dance-pop, Cobra Starship asked, what if we remove the emo lyrics? What if we get out the synthesizers and just dance? Viva La Cobra, an album about the trials and tribulations of being a club kid in NYC, had such catchy melodies and phenomenal dance beats that it moved the band from novelty act to serious concern. And it cemented in my mind that Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump, who produced the disc, is a genius.
Fall Out Boy, Infinity on High: Can a band start out as mainstream posterboys and slowly work their way backwards to indie acceptance? Fall Out Boy is kind of proving that you can. Look no further than the AV Club's annual lists, where the band has gone from guilty pleasure to bonafide list item in four years. AV Club finally gave a list spot to 2009′s Folie A Deux, but the real stunner was Infinity On High. For the follow-up to their pop breakthrough album, From Under the Cork Tree, they went nuts, piling killer riffs on top of lush orchestration, layering vocals over vocals over vocals and using every bit of software available, but they never sacrificed the personal lyrics or catchy riffs that made them who they are. In one fell swoop, they promised that success would never change them and used all of success' own tricks to their ends. And the result is addictive.
The Killers, Hot Fuss: I thought long and hard about whether to include this. Was it just indie rock's version of disposable pop? But at the moment when this album came out, when Brit indie was making itself known, Hot Fuss reminded us that Americans could do it too. The way the Killers fused '80s keyboard pop and the personal, confessional, relatable lyrics of '90s emo made this an instant classic.

Version 1 (Redmine Admin, 11/23/2011 04:44 pm) → Version 2/4 (Giovanni Manghi, 04/16/2012 07:50 am)
== Installing QGIS >= 1.0.0 for Windows ==
# Go to "http://download.qgis.org/downloads.rhtml":http://download.qgis.org/downloads.rhtml and from there to "http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/":http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ and *download the OSGeo4W Installer* ("osgeo4w-setup.exe":http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup.exe)
# *Uninstall any preview version of QGIS* and be sure you delete your .qgis directory somewhere under your Documents and Settings directory
# *Start the Installer* osgeo4w-setup.exe
# QGIS 1.0 - the long time support version - is available via _*Express Install_*. The cutting-edge version and nightly trunk builds are under _*Advanced Install*_ in the _*Desktop*_ section.
# Leave all options as by default and *click Next* until you reach a menu named Select Packages (You'll wait few seconds on menu named Progress, be patient). Note that, by default, you skip everything in that list, so if you do not select as stated in the next step you will install almost nothing.
# Select packages:
# :* For 1.0 LTS:
# :** QGIS in the _*Express Install*_ or
# :** _*qgis-full*_ in the Desktop section of _*Advanced Install*_
# :* For releases from the cutting-edge series:
# :** _*qgis-unstable*_ in the Desktop section of _*Advanced Install*_
# :* For nightly builds of trunk:
# :** _*qgis-dev*_ in the Desktop section of _*Advanced Install*_
# : Selecting any of the above will automatically install other necessary packages (like GDAL, Qt, python and GRASS).
# : You might want to install additional packages:
# :* _*pyqwt5-qt4*_ (for python plugins using QWT, eg. valuetool)
# :* _*psycopg2*_ (for python plugins using PostgreSQL, eg. postgis manager)
# :* _*gdal-ecw*_ and _*gdal-mrsid_*, if you want ECW and MrSID support in GDAL and in turn QGIS (see next section for details)
# :* _*setup*_ for later installs and updates
# *Start QGIS* and click on Plugins/Manage plugins
# *Select all plugins*. Make sure you get "Plugin Installer" selected.
# Review the list and check for any message of incompatibility: if you have any, this means that you did not delete your .qgis directory as previously instructed. In that case, exit qgis and delete the contents of the directory .qgis/python/plugins
# *Close the Manage Plugins* tool by clicking OK. Now you should have *"Fetch Python Plugins"* under Plugins. Select this option.
# Go to Repositories and then *Add 3rd Party Repositories*
# Click tab Plugins and select
## fTools for QGIS 1.0 (already included in >1.0)
## Point Sampling Tool
## Value Tool (needs *pyqwt5-qt4*)
## Other plugins you wish
# :Note that some plugins will tell you to quit and restart Qgis. Do it if required after next step and check that they are selected in the Plugins/Manage Plugins
# Close Fetch Python Plugins dialog and open Plugins/Manage plugins: enable those plugins that you just installed. A tab named Tools should be there. Point Sampling Tool is under Plugins/Analyses. Value tool will open a window below the legend
# Unless you installed the *setup* package, you should keep your installer osgeo4w-setup.exe for the future to install and update, you just re-run the installer and will install whatever be needed. You can also use it to install other OSGEO programs, libraries and utilities. For example, to be able of displaying raster images in *.ECW (ERMapper) and *.sid (MrSid) format (recomended), you must follow directions in the next paragraph (thanks to Micha Silver !)
h2. Installing support for raster *.ECW (ERMapper) and *.sid (MrSid) formats*
In order to get QGIS able of displaying raster images in *.ECW (ERMapper) and *.sid (MrSid) format (recommended), and due to legal issues with the licenses of these libraries, the following operations cannot be performed by the OSGeo4W Installer that you just downloaded and must be done "manually" by you:
1. Follow the instructions here: http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/pkg-gdal-ecw ,
2. Go through the specified link to the ERMapper site, select tab Download, click in "ECW JPEG2000 Codec SDK Login or Register to Download"
3. Register, wait for your confirmation message and do what it says in it
4. Login, go back to the page where you had the sign "ECW JPEG2000 Codec SDK Login or Register to Download", refresh it (unless you want to spend few minutes of anxious wandering in that website as I sadly did) and you should get the sign changed to "ECW JPEG2000 Codec SDK DOWNLOAD". Yeah, that's it , download, unzip and install ERMapper SDK by runing the exe file.
5. Copy the four *.dll files from the Earth Resource Mapping\ECW SDK\bin to c:\osgeo4w\bin (or C:\Windows\System32)
6. If you did not select gdal-ecw and gdal-mrsid under Libs in your previous run of the OSGeo4W Installer (osgeo4w-setup.exe), launch it again, leave all settings as you had but select gdal-ecw and gdal-mrsid under Libs now and run.
_*Should work (thanks to Micha Silver for telling us!)*_

Do you agree with Gov. Sam Brownback's proposed tax plan?
January 24, 2012
Grant Ritchey ( in Tonganoxie) says...
"I confess I don't know the details of the Governor's plan, but I support a balanced tax reduction for all citizens, especially for those in the lower income brackets. I am not in favor of eliminating deductions for home mortgages and charitable deductions, however."
Janet Stuke ( in Tonganoxie) says...
"If we can reduce our individual income tax rate, generate enough revenue to fund our state budget and create new jobs then I would support Gov. Brownback's tax proposal. Different ideas are now being generated so it will provide for hours of debate."
Aaron McIntyre ( in Tonganoxie) says...
"I am not an expert on the political field, but I do not agree with his proposed tax plan. I feel that the poor should not be taxed more for the rich to gain more."
