■ Siemens reported a substantial surprise on margins leading to strong earnings growth in its 1Q10 results. We remain Underperform on the stock while our increasing price target to Rs438 from Rs318.
■ Substantial margin surprise in the quarter: Siemens reported an impressive 18.0% EBITDA margin in the quarter vs a 9-11% run rate in the past 16 quarters. We spoke to the management, which commented that it might be due to advance revenue bookings in few projects and should even out in the next few quarters. The power segment (which contributes 45% to revenues) margins were the key driver up to 22.2% vs 12.1% in 1Q09.
■ Revenue growth in line with estimates; margins should even out: Revenue growth came in at 13%, in line with estimates. We believe Siemens may have booked advanced revenues in few power projects and margins should even out going forward. Power sector revenues grew by 11% while automation & drives grew by 18% YoY.
■ Building moderately strong growth: On the back of an improving outlook, we are now building 11% and 15% revenue growth, respectively, for 2010 and 2011 for Siemens with 10.5-10.7% margins in the domestic business.
■ Strong order inflows on the back of 1 large Rs30bn Qatar order: Order inflows came in at Rs51.7bn (+161% YoY) driven by a large Rs29.6bn order received from Qatar Electricity. This has taken the order book up to Rs136bn (+33% YoY), which had remained stagnant for about 9 quarters now.
■ Order inflow momentum could improve and boost growth: We expect transmission order inflows from PGCIL (PGCIL IN, Rs113, Not rated) to start flowing in CY10 in addition to improved activity in the industrial
segment, which would support growth into 2011.
Earnings and target price revision
■ We are increasing our earnings estimates by 12% and 9% each for the next two years assuming higher margins vs earlier. We have increased our target price to Rs438 from Rs318 on the back of our earnings upgrade and a higher 20x multiple to its March-11 earnings vs 18x earlier.
Price catalyst
■ 12-month price target: Rs438.00 based on a PER methodology.
■ Catalyst: Maintaining 11-13% margins in next few quarters.
Action and recommendation
■ Stock remains expensive; Switch to Crompton: We are now building in higher margins for Siemens despite it selling off its high margin IT business to its parent last year. We are also building an improved growth outlook on the back of an expected increase in order inflows on the transmission side. Despite that, the stock is trading at 32x Sep-2010E earnings and 27x Sep- 2011E earnings, and at a substantial 30-35% premium to our preferred play Crompton Greaves (CRG IN, Rs434, OP, TP:Rs509).

Villa Palagonia
It's easy to see how Villa Palagonia – very close to Palermo – earned its nickname: the Villa of Monsters. Studded around its Baroque garden walls, peering through lemon trees, cacti and jasmine, is a menagerie of bizarre stone sculptures. Visitors on the grand tour flock to see Villa Palagonia's freak show: hunchbacked dwarves, multi-eyed goblins, frowning cherubs and fantastical distorted creatures – the nightmare creation of the Italian villa's former owner, a disfigured prince who was imprisoned for insanity.
Such is the caricatures' gruesome appearance that local women used to avoid looking at them – afraid their influence might deform their unborn children.

Makes 5 cups -- 4 servings
The bold flavors of this chunky soup become even more appealing with the addition of sherry. Add more red pepper flakes if you like it even zestier. For a satisfying meal, serve with a sweet, fruity white wine, such as Gewürztraminer, or a jammy red, such as Shiraz or Red Zinfandel.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 carrots, finely chopped
1 rib celery, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
3 cups vegetable stock (prepare using stock concentrate, cubes, or powder)
½ cup dry sherry
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, or to taste
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
Sour cream and finely chopped red bell pepper for garnish
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, and coriander; stir constantly for about 30 seconds.
Stir in the remaining soup ingredients, except the salt and garnish. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat; cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat; let the soup cool for a few minutes.
Transfer 1 cup of the soup and beans to a blender and purée until smooth. Stir the puréed mixture into the soup and add the salt. Warm, stirring constantly, over medium heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Garnish the servings with a dollop of sour cream topped with red bell pepper.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nqvgj5/key_findings_from) has announced the addition of Decision Resources, Inc's new report "Key Findings from Treatment Algorithms: Asthma" to their offering.
In February 2010, the FDA announced new controls for long-acting beta2 agonist (LABA)-containing drugs that may alter the asthma treatment paradigm. Concerned about an increased risk of asthma-related death with LABA-containing drugs, the FDA advises that fixed-dose combinations of LABAs and inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) be reserved for patients whose asthma remains uncontrolled despite treatment with single-agent ICSs. The revised guidelines have been an impetus for physicians to reevaluate their reliance on LABA/ICS combinations to treat asthma.
It remains to be seen whether LABA/ICS combinations, which are frequently used for first-line therapy, will continue to be used in this manner. Indeed, many LABA/ICS combinations in development are no longer expected to be launched in the United States given the burden of safety trials now expected by the FDA for LABA-containing drugs.
This report examines patient-level claims data to quantify the use of asthma maintenance therapies, including the LABA/ICS combinations GlaxoSmithKline's Advair, AstraZeneca/Astellas's Symbicort, and Merck's Dulera, as well as many single-agent ICSs. We determine the share of each drug by line of therapy, evaluate the therapy flow, and analyze why key drugs are chosen over others. We provide valuable insight for any company looking to take advantage of the competitive openings resulting from the increased concern surrounding LABA/ICS combinations.
Key Topics Covered:
1. Background
2. Key Findings for Newly Diagnosed Patients
3. Key Findings for Recently Treated Patients
4. Key Findings by Product
5. Appendix: Methodology

Sorry, I don't get what you mean here, Robin.
"Shardik" sounds worthwhile, I'm mentally adding it to my 'to-read' list.
The One Ring Messageboard
Cock-Robin wrote:That's why I just mentioned it has a twist ending in a general way.
Rowf - a Labrador highly cynical about the human race - and Snitter – a black and white Jack Russell sold to Animal Research and subjected to brain surgery which dampens his ability to differentiate between subjective experience and objective reality - both escape the lonesome confines of the experimental laboratory they are held in and break out in the countryside of the Lake District region. Roaming the fells, they both fluctuate between the desires to have a master and to go feral, that is to fend for themselves andto brave the conditions which are presented to them.
Interwoven plots - implausible in their content but effective in their delivery - ensure that numerous groups of people are on their trail. A self-seeking journalist wishes to whip up a storm of controversy for higher political means; the local farming community, armed with shotguns and strong Scottish accents, wants to end the dogs they consider to be hounding their sheep; the Animal Research Centre, aware of the perennial delicacy of itself and its need to keep a positive media image, wants its name out of the paper and the dogs forgotten; add to that a further plot surrounding the owner of Snitter – which I won't refer to as it is the only one with an unpredictable conclusion - and you have a compelling, page-turning novel bound to please children, young readers and animal lovers alike.
It is true that the human characters are types, and appear as cartoonist, reduced versions of human beings. The complexities of human behaviour and personality is not explored and each character has a strict role – with predefined thoughts and action - which renders them as rather one-dimensional. Their actions move seamlessly with the plotting of the novel, there is no natural human conflict as the story unfolds and meanders the mountainous landscapes, and this only compounds the feeling of simplicity which pervades the story. They are like the villains, or the heroes, in an episode of Scooby Do. This is more of an observation than a criticism, as it is clear that a story which starts from the premise of talking animals is not aiming for a hyper real, psychological epic. Indeed, Adams does not real explore the issues which interest him through probing individual thoughts and behaviour but through outlining, explicitly and implicitly, the bonds which connect his literary archetypes.
RowfandSnitter are not only more believable, but are also of greater depth. Although I would not go as far to say Richard Adams captures the raw, animalistic feeling which exists in nonhumans and underneath human consciousness (not many writers can), he does go some way to provide insight into what it is like to be a dog in a world increasingly dominated by human values, and, it must be said, human cruelty. Tod, the red fox who appears one-third into the story and who has an infectious way of thinking, adds an interesting element which was surely intended. Here we have the animal which comes third after the chicken and the cow as the most abused, dismissed and tortured animal at the hands of us humans, next to dogs, one of only two animals the majority of the human race are willing to acknowledge as having any worth. What Adams does is show the reader that the fox and the dog may exhibit slight differences in their behaviour and look, but in fear, pain and sentience they are equals. Throughout the book, a true friendship develops between the three animals, but the Tod ends up being cornered by egged-on hounds, and the unpredictability of the outcome does not lesson its emotional effect. By this stage in the book the reader will either hate or love the fox and his ways, and the unceremonious death of the fox – which Adams leaves deliberately vague to capture the sense of indifference - demands our reflection.
It could be said that Adams communicates in the symbols we understand (words) what all sentient beings, to some degree or other, feel and cannot express due to having no vocal chords, nor the higher intelligence to symbolise their consciousness. In this he tells the reader something which an awful lot of humans need to learn – that no being wants to be experimented on, eaten or hunted. He tries to give a voice to the voiceless, and whether he is effective or not is the individual decision of each reader.
His antivivisection stance is implicit and subtle. I estimate that in total there are 40 or so pages of material relating to the subject, and most of that is matter-of-fact description. This novel does not warrant being considered as one in opposition to animal experimentation, as Adams only tells the reader of the reality (the absurdity) of vivisection and the view of the animals about the practise. His view is not biased, but representative, and I suggest that those reviewers who have accused him of being one-sided should realise that they are in fact being presented with the inescapable, and inevitable, ridiculousness of animal experimentation. This book may be complemented by reading Slaughter of the Innocent, or the excellent Vivisection Unveiled, both of which reveal the scientific futility of the horror Rowf and Snitter were fortunate enough to escape.
The simplicity of the book does mask a complexity. On one hand we have a simple, enjoyable tale for child of all ages, and on the other we have the relationship between man and animal played out on a literary setting; a plea for a less hostile, arrogant and divorced view of nature; and a call for self-reflection. Like all great books, we can either read it whilst tucked in bed with cocoa, or studied it in a library. Irrespective of his method of doing so, in urging us humans to stop treating the world as our ashtray and anything which is not human as worthless, Adams deserves our respect.

heliona wrote: It was the ending for the dogs, but the story had been told from several people's points of view and Mr Wood had just arrived on the beach with Digby Driver and couldn't see the dogs.
So in that regard, the extra bits didn't surprise me all that much. Especially considering that Richard Adams changing narrative technique mid-way through a chapter even wasn't unusual (after all, he described the Parliamentary meeting in script form; there were various expositions using Digby Driver's articles).
Also, I believe that Rowf and the experiment he underwent was part of the plot. Never before in the book did he enter water (apart from crossing rivers, really) and here, at the end, his true fight began. Snitter had got them there, thanks to his hallucinations, but it was Rowf having to fight his own demon that would save the day in the end. I don't think Richard Adams would be so cruel as to have Rowf die by drowning.
Edited to add that I've just had a quick discussion with Wilko about the ending and he has no recollection of the Colloquy between the Reader and the Author at all, nor the bit full of information regarding Sir Peter Scott. Now my copy is the American version and I know that Hobby's is also. Cock-Robin, is yours the American copy? We don't have Wilko's copy here (which will be the British version) to compare right now, but it's possible that the Colloquy and Biography was added to the American version. (Wilko was adamant that the dogs didn't die, nor was there any hint about it.
Cock-Robin wrote:Oh! That's a wonderful analysis, heliona! I never thought of it as Snitter's thoughts, but it makes sense. I'm puzzling over the words 'reet mazzer,' though. (Greet master? That's my guess.) I've just GOT to find that book again and read it.
Yes, I think you'd just LOVE The Cold Moons if you like badgers. I actually liked it better than Watership Down, not that the other is a bad book, it's great, but Cold Moons is better IMO. Actually I realize I'm comparing apples and oranges, and it may just be personal preference.
I knew I was in for a wonderful story at the opening poem, Perilous Dawn.
Oh, nestling, nestling, are you being born
For your eyes to close and not see the morn?
Oh, nestling, nestling, what can you have done
To return to sleep and not see the sun?
Why do they come to slaughter and ravage?
What have you done to deserve such carnage?
Nowhere to walk or play, you dare not roam,
Yet you cannot stay in this place called home.
Oh, nestling, nestling, have faith to survive,
The morrow you'll find that you're still alive
To seek a haven where man is not seen,
ELYSIA, free and lush, so verdant green.
Time is short, life may soon be extinguished,
ELYSIA you find, or you are finished.
"Reet mazer -- yows --"
Cold. Sinking. Bitter, choking dark.
Sir Peter Scott, despite his well-known ability as a sailor, did not very often put to sea in winter.
heliona wrote:Hobby, I believe we were talking about The Plague Dogs on YM and you mentioned that you had the American edition in reference to some of the tod's language being toned down.
Also, the dogs believe that they are dead and are in doggy heaven. Who's to say that they are not? (Although I suppose the wrapping up of everyone else's storylines would be a bit odd in a doggy heaven.)
So perhaps Adams is playing on the idea that the reader will think that the dogs are dying, when in fact he is going to pluck them from the water at the last possible moment. (Let's face it, all the way through the book, they have escaped by seconds.)
Wilko has just brought his copy of The Plague Dogs back.
So in the British edition, there definitely is no Colloquy and no Sir Peter Scott biography.
Mazer: one who amazes [...] A common term of praise and commendation. E.g., "Yon Raquel Welch - by, mind, she's weel-stacked, a reet mazer!"
truehobbit wrote:So in the British edition, there definitely is no Colloquy and no Sir Peter Scott biography.
Wow. Which raises the question, why is it in the US edition?
Surely, the publishers wouldn't put it in of their own accord, would they?
And if the publisher wanted to add something to change the ending, wouldn't you expect that something to make an ending either clearer or happier?
I simply can't imagine a publisher going to the author saying, hey, we'd like to make the ending of your book really ambiguous and incomprehensible...can you?
So - is there a chance that maybe our Ballantine is the original and it's wilko's Penguin edition that had this part taken out, in order to make the ending unambiguous?
It's not that I don't want the dogs being saved to be the original ending, mind you.
I just find this very mysterious. And completely fascinating.
heliona wrote: The way Wilko's edition reads makes more sense and reads more smoothly that the American edition. I don't know, but I would conclude, just from feeling, that the British version is the original one, and perhaps after comments, Richard Adams decided to change it a wee bit.
(Also, there is actually an Isle of Dogs in the UK. And the island that they were vaguely swimming towards was the Isle of Man, as Rowf unknowingly said. I had a bit of a smile at that bit. I think that might have been just a clever piece of wording by Adams.)
truehobbit wrote:In which case we'd need to find out why he decided that.
Since Richard Adams is 89, unless someone else asks him, we probably won't find out.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai suffered an embarrassing moment on a giant technology stage Monday night, introducing the world's first "ultra-HD" TV using organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), only to see the screen go blank as the computer running it had an error.
Hirai stopped mid-speech during his presentation as the screen went blank.
"This revolutionary TV combines the world's largest OLED display with dazzling 4K resolution, including this beautiful ... interface screen," he said, turning to see the screen show a computer error as chuckles rippled through the crowd.
Hirai carried on with his presentation, at one point looking back at the 56-inch display only to see the error continue.
"Excellent," he said.
A Sony staffer rolled the TV away as he continued.
Hirai said the set is a prototype and didn't announce price or availability. Later, he appeared to be good-natured in a reception for journalists.

PEANUTS Special Bonus Cartoon to Air with the Classic Animated Favorite
ABC Television Network will kick off the holiday season with the classic half-hour animated Thanksgiving-themed PEANUTS special, "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving," created by late cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, airing in HD and with Spanish audio on WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21 & THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET, both nights), on the ABC Television Network. (Rebroadcast. OAD: 11/27/08)
A special bonus cartoon from Charles M. Schulz, "This Is America, Charlie Brown: The Mayflower Voyagers," will air with the PEANUTS classic. In the special, history comes to animated screen life in a captivating and informative program about the Mayflower voyagers.
In the 1973 "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving," Charlie Brown wants to do something special for the gang. However the dinner he arranges is a disaster when the caterers, Snoopy and Woodstock, prepare toast and popcorn as the main dish. Humiliated, it will take all of Marcie's persuasive powers to salvage the holiday for Charlie Brown.
The cast includes Todd Barbee as Charlie Brown, Robin Kohn as Lucy, Stephen Shea as Linus, Hilary Momberger as Sally, Kip DeFaria as Peppermint Patty, Jimmy Ahrens as Marcie and Robin Reed as Franklin.
In "This is America, Charlie Brown: The Mayflower Voyagers," the year is 1620. After 65 grueling, sea-tossed days, the Pilgrims are in view of America's shores - and Charlie Brown and the Peanuts crew are with them as they experience firsthand the lifestyle of the early settlers and celebrate the first Thanksgiving.
The specials were executive-produced by Lee Mendelson and created and written by Charles M. Schulz. Bill Melendez is the producer and director and Vince Guaraldi is the music composer.
On October 2, 1950 the PEANUTS comic strip launched in seven American newspapers. Who would have guessed the impact the brand would have around the world for decades to come. Nearly 60 years later, the comic strip appears in over 2,200 newspapers, in 75 countries and 21 languages. PEANUTS animated specials have become a seasonal tradition and thousands of consumer products are available in virtually all retail channels. Charlie Brown kicking the football, Linus and his blanket and Lucy leaning over Schroeder's piano are images to which everyone can relate. Such phrases as "Security Blanket" and "Good Grief" have become a part of the global vernacular. Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez's association with Charles Schulz stretches back to 1965 with "A Charlie Brown Christmas," which debuted on CBS in 1965 with Mendelson as executive producer and Bill Melendez as animator and director. The three men continued their long-term association until Schulz's death, working together on 50 PEANUTS network specials and four feature films. The network specials won five Emmys, two Peabodys and 18 other Emmy nominations.
Iconix Brand Group in a joint venture with Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates has formed PEANUTS Worldwide, a new home to the global PEANUTS property. The PEANUTS characters and related intellectual property are owned by Peanuts Worldwide LLC, a joint venture owned 80% by Iconix Brand Group, Inc. and 20% by members of the Charles M. Schulz family. Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ICON) owns, licenses and markets a growing portfolio of consumer brands including CANDIE'S(R), BONGO(R), BADGLEY MISCHKA(R), JOE BOXER(R), RAMPAGE(R), MUDD(R), LONDON FOG(R), MOSSIMO(R), OCEAN PACIFIC(R), DANSKIN(R), ROCA WEAR(R), CANNON(R), ROYAL VELVET(R), FIELDCREST(R), CHARISMA(R), STARTER(R) and WAVERLY (R). In addition, Iconix owns an interest in the ARTFUL DODGER (R), ED HARDY(R), ECKO(R), MARC ECKO(R), ZOO YORK(R), MATERIAL GIRL� and PEANUTS(R) brands. The Company licenses its brands to a network of leading retailers and manufacturers that touch every major segment of retail distribution from the luxury market to the mass market in both the U.S. and worldwide. Through its in-house business development, merchandising, advertising and public relations departments, Iconix manages its brands to drive greater consumer awareness and equity.
This program is broadcast in HD 720P in its original 4X3 aspect ratio, with 5.1-channel surround sound and Spanish audio via SAP. It carries a TV-G parental guideline.

== Download and Create Live image or LiveUSB==
== Download and Create Live image or LiveUSB==
Revision as of 20:41, 6 April 2010
Download and Create Live image or LiveUSB
To download a prebuilt Fedora Live image, visit the download page. Then you can either:
- Burn the ISO to a CD or DVD. See [1] for burning instructions.
- Learn how to create and use Live USB.
If you want to build and then burn your own custom ISO, see How to create and use a Live CD.
Advantages and Limitations
- You can demonstrate features or try out a release including testing hardware functionality before installation
- Live USB/CD/DVD installation is faster than regular installation. Live USB installation typically takes only a few minutes.
- It is not possible to choose packages during installation
- It is not possible to choose a non-default filesystem.
Larger than CD size
- The Gnome Desktop Spin targets the majority of users as a group; though it is most commonly downloaded, it cannot be optimized to be the best solution for everyone because different people have different needs.
- The majority of users have USB or DVD media available, and the price of these media is competitive with CDs (or better, considering that USB sticks are highly reusable).
- Expanding to beyond 700MB allows the inclusion of software such as OpenOffice, which is a critical piece of a modern, widely useful Live distribution.
- For users who cannot boot from USB or DVD media, there are several other options, including:
- Smaller-than-CD image (boot.iso) which can install Gnome Desktop to a hard drive via the network
- Multi-CD installer which can install Gnome Desktop to a hard drive
- Hard drive install method
- Other spins which will still fit on a CD if a LiveCD is still necessary
- The ability to create a custom spin using Revisor (see How to create and use a Live CD) if a Gnome-based LiveCD is absolutely needed. Individual users can start with the Gnome Desktop spin and remove packages until it is the desired size; the included packages are specified in a downloadable kickstart file.
For more information:
- Features/DesktopLiveImageTarget
- Mailing list discussion (earlier) [ http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/desktop/2009-November/005690.html (later)]
In the future, any group of Fedora contributors can come together to publish a separate Gnome Desktop CD spin if there is sufficient interest.
Fedora Live image features
Current features:
- Read-write rootfs so it's possible to install software while the livecd is running
- Install to hard disk or usb drives
- Use SELinux in enforcing mode and other security features by default
- Stay as close to a normal desktop install wrt. features
- Ability to create normal CD-ROM and CD-R media (less than 700MB) or DVD images
- Included best of breed software on the media
- Make it easy to do a derived livecd with your own repositories, packages and art work
- Data persistence
- API used by LTSP, appliance creator and others
- DavidZeuthen - Primary developer and maintainer of HAL and OLPC contributor
- JeremyKatz - Fedora Ninja. Adds backend for installing from a live image into Anaconda
- DouglasMcClendon - LiveOS device mapper trickster
Fedora Live image users and developers can participate and contribute in the discussions happening in the Fedora Live CD list.
Finding the Code
The source code for the live CD tools is maintained in git. The repository is at 'git://git.fedoraproject.org/git/hosted/livecd' and can be browsed via the gitweb interface . You can install it easily by installing the 'livecd-tools' package.
Kickstart files are in the spin-kickstarts.noarch package.
Hard Drive Installation
The ability to install to the hard drive is available in Fedora 7 and above releases. After the live media boots, click on the install icon on your desktop to start the installation. Installation from live image requires that GRUB and the /boot directory be installed onto a drive with an MSDOS partition label, or that the current machine supports EFI booting. If a pc-clone machine has only GPT harddrives then you may need to use something such as a USB2.0 flash memory device (with an MSDOS partition label) as an intermediate destination.

Family takes legal actions for answers in fatal crash
The family of one of the men who died during a pickup-ambulance collision last month in Cass County is taking legal action to learn more about the accident.
Cass County sheriff's deputies said William "BJ" Whitlach was traveling on Highway 34 near Elmwood when his pickup collided with an ambulance. He died along with volunteer ambulance driver Bob Hanes. Two other medics, including Hanes' daughter, survived the crash.

Investigators believe Whitlatch crossed the center line, but his family wants to see proof, asking the sheriff's office and Nebraska State Patrol to share every report and lab result.
Toxicology reports confirmed neither Whitlach nor Hanes were under the influences the night of the June 11.
Attorney Dustin Garrison, who represents Whitlach's parents, filed a lawsuit Tuesday in Cass County against the Nebraska State Patrol and the Cass County Sheriff, alleging the investigation appears to have been conducted inconsistently and with no particular degree of integrity.
"There are certain things that have been told to us about what occurred on this particular evening that are completely inconsistent with these witnesses reports. And that's why we need to see what is and isn't true," Garrison said.
Garrison said the Whitlach's received contradicting reports.
"Most of it has to do with statements made to us by law enforcement officers," Garrison said.
Whitlatch's family asked to see all the documents and reports from the accident investigation, but was denied.
In the lawsuit it states, "Plaintiffs … suffered significant and irreparable harm as a result of the refusal to disclose all documents."
Cass County Attorney Nathan Cox said he is "interested to hear what contradictions and inconsistencies he (Garrison) is talking about." Cox had no further comment.
The Whitlachs said they are not blaming anyone, they just want truth.
"My clients want answers. They want to know what happened. They're not content with the theory that BJ was completely at fault," Garrison said.
In subpoenas that will be sent out in nine days to both the Nebraska State Patrol and the Cass County Sheriff, the family asked that all reports be sent to Garrison's law office by July 22 at 5 p.m. They have asked the court to order that, so they can conduct their own investigation.

Talk:Kota Kinabalu to Brunei by Land
Discussion on Merging Article[edit]
Per Wikitravel's guidelines, I believe that this article properly qualifies as an article and should not be merged into the Malaysia article. This itinerary applies to a specific route (Kota Kinabalu to Brunei) and a specific region of Malaysia. Therefore, I would strongly recommend against merging it with the Malaysia article.
Dancgreer 16:08, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
Route Updates[edit]
managed to get a flight to Brunei want to get to Kota Kinabalu as quick as poss How?
Details on the boring route[edit]
I think this article would be even more usable if you gave some details on the so called "boring" route by bus. I am interested in going from KK to BSW without stopping for anything. ¿How long does it take? ¿How much?
Lawas to Bangar[edit]
The ferry ride at trusan has been eliminated by a bridge and there is no need to stop for customs as the Malaysian customs checkpoint is now operational. Everything is fast and easy. I just went through it on a bike two days ago. 220.127.116.11 20:41, 6 February 2012 (EST)Michael Turton [email protected] Have pics if you want to post them here.
Does anybody know when a passenger ferry leaves from menumbok to brunei and back. Is there a hotel and a carpark in menumbok where we can leave our car save for two days? Many thanks for any recommendation.
hi there
the service nomore available..you can get it from labuan menumbok -> labuan -> muara brunei

South African police arrested 10 of Argentina's infamous "barra brava" hooligans upon arrival at South Africa's main airport today after receiving a list of some 800 names from Argentina.
"Intelligence indicated that these persons would commit acts of public disorder, engage in acts of violence, and provoke conflict with certain fans of opponent teams and other groups from Argentina during the 2010 FIFA World Cup," the statement said. "They are known to have a history of being involved in crime and antagonising local law enforcement agencies."
Aside from England's hooligans, Argentina's "barra brava" are known to football fans worldwide as some of the roughest around.
As Agence France-Presse reports, there have been 241 football-related deaths officially registered in Argentina since 1924, according to the non-governmental organization Salvemos al Futbol (Let's Save Football).
The group of 10 is now being deported back to Argentina.
Next up: English hooligans?
Sending some of them away may be in their own best interest, according to a piece in the British tabloid, The Sun, about gang violence and tough policing in Cape Town, where England will be playing against Algeria on June 18.
A world away from [Cape Town center's] beaches and trendy bars, Mitchell's Plain is a place where England fans would be very unwise to set foot.
Ex-meth addict Nathan de Bruyn, 24, who now works for a rehabilitation program nearby, warned: "The gangs will see World Cup fans as golden nuggets."
But it's not just the gangs that unruly fans in Cape Town should beware, according to the Sun. South Africa's hardened police aren't feeling very tolerant of hooligans, either.
"If you act like a hooligan here then you are a hooligan under my rules," Cape Town's metro police chief, Rob Young, told the Sun. "We don't shoot water cannons, we shoot rubber bullets. Do your hooligans burn schools, do they carry machetes? If not they're meek and mild as far as I'm concerned. We deal with real hooligans."

The other day I had my iPod on shuffle, and for some odd coincidence five songs by George Harrison came on in a row. Now I do have most of the Beatles albums loaded on there, but it's hardly the only thing I have, so five Harrison songs coming up in a random shuffle was statistically improbable. It was also a little illuminating, in the sense that I realized that Harrison, in each song, was really irritated and, in many cases, was using the song either to criticize someone or tell someone off.
Harrison is known as the Quiet One, the Spiritual One, the least egotistical one (at least of the three songwriters) — and each case the reputation is probably well-founded. But I don't think anyone thinks of him as the Irritated One. But at least in half of the songs he did with the Beatles, he was indeed expressing irritation.
And lest this be mistaken for a band preoccupation rather than an individual tendency, it should be noted that the other two songwriters in the group rarely used songs to express irritation. SEXY SADIE aside, John Lennon usually wrote about how screwed up he was, or at least how he happened to be feeling, or what was going on around him; and Paul McCartney, I'M LOOKING THROUGH YOU aside, was usually pretty upbeat, being upbeat by nature.
By my count, Harrison recorded 20 songs with the Beatles. Nine could be considered outside the irritated pattern: I NEED YOU, LOVE YOU TOO, ONLY A NORTHERN SONG, IT'S ALL TOO MUCH, BLUE JAY WAY, SOMETHING, LONG LONG LONG, HERE COMES THE SUN and FOR YOU BLUE. Even a couple of those have a slight edge. "Love You Too," for example, refers to "people standing around who screw you in the ground." And part of the power of "Something" is in its brutal honesty, in that the lyric to a seemingly ecstatic coda has Harrison saying he doesn't know if he's going to stay in love or not.
This is the key, in a sense. Harrison makes the setting for his brutal honesty so lilting that you often don't notice that he's being harsh or complaining or saying something that is downright unpleasant. ALL THINGS MUST PASS, which he wrote while with the Beatles and which formed the title of his first solo album, seems like a philosophical rumination on impermanence — but the context for it, within the song, is that he's breaking up with a woman and trying to console her. His "love" has left her "with no warning." I'm sure she appreciated the philosophical advice.
Let's look at some other titles:
DON'T BOTHER ME — pretty self-explanatory.
IF I NEEDED SOMEONE — Basically he's gloating over the fact that he's not interested in someone, telling this person to put her number on his wall and maybe he'll call her.
THINK FOR YOURSELF — The whole song involves him telling someone off.
TAXMAN — He doesn't like the taxman.
WITHIN YOU WITHOUT YOU — The song describes sitting around talking with other people about how everybody else is screwed up.
WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS — His guitar is weeping because the people he's singing to are all screwed up.
PIGGIES — A criticism of cops and others who aren't hippies. Fairly coarse, in that the harshness of the sentiment is uncharacteristically obvious.
SAVOY TRUFFLE — Even this seeming bauble is talking about how you are what you eat, so if this is what you eat, what are you?
I ME MINE — A criticism of selfishness.
In between there, you get OLD BROWN SHOE, which is a sort of love song and somewhat disguised in its point of view. But what he's saying is that he is looking for sexual variety, describing the women that have gone before as an "Old Brown Shoe."
Anyway, this is not a criticism. It's more like a way into the work, an angle in. Lennon, for all his seeming confidence, was always, in the private recesses of his songwriter's heart, thinking of himself as a mess. But Harrison not only thought he was OK, but he thought he was OK enough to prescribe for YOU. And, unlike most who do it, he was pretty good at it. This is in contrast to Lennon who, for a brief period in his solo career, started prescribing and wrote the worst songs of his life (SOME TIME IN NEW YORK CITY). What was natural to one wasn't natural to the other.

I have a bootable floppy (io.sys, msdos.sys & command.com) that also contains an exe file.
How can I make the EXE file run straight away without the need to type in its filename?
I have a bootable floppy (io.sys, msdos.sys & command.com) that also contains an exe file.
How can I make the EXE file run straight away without the need to type in its filename?
Name it Command.com
or Put it in the Autoexec.bat
You know Batch?
How the hell will command.com work if I rename my EXE file command.com?
It wont. I thoughjt you ment getting an EXE to work , without using autoexec.bat. Just add a line in the autoexec.bat. It ya dont know what that is , I suggest you learn DOS first.
By adding up your posts for today it sems to me that you are trying to make a boot floppy that formats the hdd without any user interaction, but your not that kinda guy..right?
To do that you would have to do several things. First you would have to patch the boot sector to both load and then jump to the EXE. Or you could patch the bootsector code and add code to the end of it (if there is space) that would jump to another sector of the disk, load your code, and then have that code load the EXE.
To run the EXE, you first have to know how to read FAT12. You need to look in the FAT first to find out the starting cluster of the EXE. Then you read in clusters via int 13h until you reach the last cluster in file mark or EOF. EXEs are relocatable code. This means you have to read in the data header for an EXE, look at the relocation table entry and relocate the code. Relocations make sure that the variable offsets within the code actualy point to the correct area of memory. You can look up more information on the EXE file header. It would be easier to load a COM since they are straight binaries and always start at 0100h into the load segment. You would only have to switch the stack, push some values to change the DS, CS registers and then execute a FAR return which would jump to the code and thus execute your COM.
EXEs are a bit different since they can have multiple segments - as many as memory will allow. So you cannot just jump to the byte immediately following the header. As you load the code, you must relocate it. I do have code that does this, but you are talking about pure assembly language here. So, if you do not know assembly language, you are pretty much out of luck.
The bootsector is 512 bytes long and resides at sector 1 on every disk. The actual bootstrap code start immediately after the BPB and DOS header stuff. The bootstrap code is 449 bytes long and the sector ends with 55 AA or 0AA55h. This tells the BIOS that this disk is bootable - called the boot signature.
I have code that will boot the machine, although it does little else, as well as code in C that will patch the boot sector with a new bootstrap and new header info. The code will also save the bootsector to disk as a bin file for backup purposes.
Let me know if you still wish to pursue this and I'll be much more straightforward with the information.

China building 26 dams on Brahmaputra: NGO
A day after India admitted that China was building three more hydropower dams on the Brahmaputra river, an NGO alleged that the neighbouring country is building 26 hydropower dams on the upper reaches of the river in Tibet.
Three years ago, the NGO Jana Jagriti had made public photographs claiming that China was building mega hydropower dams on the upper Brahmaputra in Tibet to divert the waters under a project called "South to North Water diversion Projects".
"Jana Jagriti brought this fact to light three years ago through the media that the water of the Brahmaputra is not only being used for dams and hydro power projects but its water was also being diverted by China. China has accepted this," said Ashokananda Singhal, president of Jana Jagriti.
"In India, the Yarlung Trangpo river is called the Brahmaputra. We receive 78.10 BCM water from China through the Brahmaputra at its entry point at village Gorging in India. In the monsoons from June to September, 56.12 BCM water comes to India, whereas in non-monsoon period, 21.98 BCM water is received. This is an average figure for the last 20 years," he said.
"Once China completes these projects, we will receive 64 percent less water during the monsoon. In the non-monsoon season, 85 percent less water will come from China to India," he added.
"Jana Jagriti has released photos that have proved that work had started long ago on three projects," Singhal said, adding that China has been working on 26 more projects.
"The Brahmaputra is under threat from China. The river, which is the lifeline of Assam, needs proper care, concern and attention," he said.
"We demand that chief ministers of all northeastern states take up the issue with the central government and not allow China to change the water flow of the Brahmaputra river. The river not only gives life but it is our cultural heritage and connected with our religious sentiments," he said.
Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has requested Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to take up the construction of three dams on the Brahmaputra with China. - IANS

JBS banking on Japan, other Asian nations to help propel total exports past US$10B in 2013 for first time ever, CEO says
May 20, 2013
(Bloomberg LP)
– JBS SA, the world's biggest beef producer, is counting on steak-hungry consumers in Japan and other Asian nations to help propel total exports past $10 billion for the first time this year.
"I'm very optimistic about Japan," Chief Executive Officer Wesley Batista, 43, said about the nation that is the world's third-largest beef importer. "We're increasing export volumes and the variety of products we ship," he said in an interview at the company's headquarters in Sao Paulo.
JBS, whose sales to Asia jumped 30 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier, is boosting shipments after Japan eased import curbs and China became its biggest market. Soaring demand from Asia, the destination for about a third of JBS's beef, pork and poultry exports, may help cut debt after Batista's brother, former CEO Joesley Batista, embarked on a $2.3 billion acquisition spree that turned the family business into a $10 billion company.
The meat provider's 17 percent return in the past month makes it the best performer among the world's five biggest meatpackers by market value, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
It's trading at about 11 times its estimated 2013 earnings, compared with a ratio of 24 for BRF SA, Brazil's biggest food- processing company, and 19 for Marfrig Alimentos SA, the second largest.
JBS rose 1.5 percent to 6.98 reais at 3:37 p.m. in Sao Paulo.
The company, which produces about 13 percent of the world's beef, took over four slaughterhouses in Brazil this year, along with two in the U.S. and a pair in Canada. This will help boost profit as JBS steps up output, Batista said.
"As the ramp-up at new plants matures, we'll see margins improving across the continent," said Batista, who succeeded his younger brother in 2011 after the company increased sales 13-fold following 11 acquisitions.
First-quarter net income doubled from a year earlier to 227.9 million reais ($112 million), JBS said on May 14. The result was in line with the 231 million-real average of five analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Wesley Batista's biggest purchase so far has been the $132 million takeover of Brazilian meatpacker Independencia SA in January, compared with his brother's acquisitions of global rivals from Swift & Co. to Greely, Colorado-based Pilgrim's Pride Corp.
The shutdowns of Minneapolis-based Cargill Inc.'s slaughtering plant in Texas in February and Quebec-based FPBQ's Levinoff-Colbex plant last year have reduced competition for JBS, leaving it better poised to tap rising demand in Asia and in the U.S. as summer approaches, said Luiz Carlos Cesta, an equity analyst at Banco Votorantim SA.
"Wesley is doing a good job since taking over," said Cesta, whose recommendations returned the most to investors in the past 12 months among 14 analysts tracked by Bloomberg.
"The shutdown of a rival plant in the U.S. and the start of the barbecue season there tell me Batista will keep on delivering on his promises," he said in a telephone interview from Sao Paulo.
JBS has advanced 7.5 percent in Sao Paulo since Batista took office on Feb. 1, 2011, compared with a 19 percent decline in the benchmark Ibovespa index. It's rated a hold by 10 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Six, including Cesta, rate the stock a buy and none say sell.
The company's JBS USA unit, which accounts for about 75 percent of revenue and ships from plants in the U.S. and Australia, is responsible for most of the beef sales to Asia.
Japan eased restrictions on U.S. beef in February by raising the age limit for the cattle that the meat is taken from to 30 months from 20 months, broadening supplies that are eligible for exports. Sales to the Asian nation from JBS's U.S. plants jumped 70 percent in March from a year earlier, Batista said.
Batista may be overestimating gains from exports as prices for beef shipped out of Brazil decline and shrinking cattle supplies in the U.S. may limit sales out of the country, Banco Itau BBA SA equity analyst Alexandre Miguel said.
"I'm cautious," Miguel, who has a hold recommendation on the stock, said in a telephone interview from Sao Paulo. "Wesley is being too optimistic about his assumptions."
Batista is counting on rising cattle supplies from Canada to offset the drop in U.S. herds, which decreased to the smallest in 61 years after last year's drought in the Midwest and South damaged pastures and cut output of corn and soybeans used to feed livestock.
Canada will export 875,000 live cattle this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said April 10, up 25 percent from an October estimate. Most of the animals will be shipped to the U.S., Batista said. Live cattle futures have dropped 8.3 percent in Chicago this year, touching a 10-month low of $1.19275 a pound on May 17.
"I thought this year would be more volatile, with cattle prices hovering near record highs," Batista said. "The scenario has changed. Plant closures and imports from Canada made me change my mind."

PORTLAND, Ore. – Ryan Johnson delivered the first win of the Portland Timbers' 2013 campaign in style, breaking open a rough-and-tumble stalemate against the Houston Dynamo with a second-half brace in a 2-0 victory on a rain-drenched Saturday night at JELD-WEN Field.
Not only was it the first victory for first-year head coach Caleb Porter, it was also a feel-good win against the two-time defending MLS Cup runners-up after two key Timbers players were lost to nasty injuries in the first half.
It also marked the first time the Timbers – who jumped into seventh place in the Western Conference with six points – have taken three points from Houston.
OPTA Chalkboard: Portland dominate in second half
The Dynamo walk away empty handed for the second time in two road games, dropping them to third place in the East with nine points from five games.
After a scoreless first half, which saw Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri and David Horst ushered into the locker room with injuries, Portland started the second half inspired.
Four minutes in, Darlington Nagbe and Rodney Wallace teamed up for some dangerous play in the 18. But Nagbe's clear shot from the top of the box rolled just wide.
Portland didn't miss on their next chance, however, when Johnson took a perfectly placed cross from Diego Chara in the 55th minute and nudged it by Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall with a lunging left-footed attempt.
Johnson added to his memorable night when he broke free down the left flank and buried his shot inside the far post after Nagbe had won the ball deep, then played him through following some combination play with Kalif Alhassan.
Houston did little to threaten the Portland lead as the Timbers continually pressed the issue. The Dynamo finished with just one shot on goal in the second half.
It was a different tale in the first half.
The bodies started falling in the 16th minute when Horst awkwardly contested a Giles Barnes run into the area, crumpling to the turf writhing in pain after his ankle rolled. He was stretchered off and replaced by second-year center back Andrew Jean-Baptiste.
Then Valeri was sent sprawling in the 25th minute when he took an errant Jermaine Taylor elbow to the face on a 50-50 ball. The woozy playmaker was aided off by trainers and replaced with Alhassan.
In stoppage time, Timbers defender Mikael Silvestre was booked when he went in two-footed on Barnes, who had to be helped off the field. Barnes would return in the second half.
As for the soccer, Houston provided the most dangerous looks despite a lot of Portland possession, resulting in just one shot on goal for each team.
In the 32nd minute, Cam Weaver was too strong on a point-blank look at the goal, sending his attempt over the cross bar, off an Andrew Driver cross that came through the area untouched.
Then just two minutes later, a low left-footed screamer by Brad Davis required a diving save from Donovan Ricketts.
Portland remains at home for their next game Sunday against the San Jose Earthquakes. Houston returns home for a Sunday game against Chicago.

Another week, another DiScover Mixtape... with all this new music, we are really spoiling you (say in a sleazy European accent, liberally smattering zees and vees all over the place).
Highlights from this lovely little lot? Well, I'm biased 'cos I picked them, but The Drums haven't been off my stereo much at all since I DiScovered their aptly-titled EP Summertime! recently. They've divided opinion over here at (the fictional) DiS towers, but personally I've not been this excited about some old fashioned guitar-pop for some time. Honourable mentions also to Neon Indian and Memory Casettes (gotta have some bleeps in there somewhere... it's 2009) and The – utterly demented - Cubical.
As ever, your thoughts on these, and your own current DiScoveries, are of great interest to us.
1. The Brass - 'Fix Until Broken'
It sometimes seems unfair just how many good bands come out of New York. Take Brooklyn noisemakers The Brass whose epic 'Fix Until Broken' artfully treads the line between thunderous post-hardcore/screamo, raw in its unfettered energy and delicate, almost post-rock instrumental sections. Taken from newly released 7" 'Homosapien', it's a pretty thrilling ride and hopefully a sign of great things to come. Joseph Rowan
2. Dum Dum Girls - 'Over The Phone (Demo)'
Having recently signed to Sub Pop (like last week's Mixtape stars Male Bonding), this one girl project from Los Angeles is another flying the lo-fi flag with distorted chamber pop that sounds like The Supremes by way of The Smell. 'Over The Phone' is still only in its demo form, but already sounds as great as previous single 'Jail La La', even managing to sneak a subtle reference to The Stone Roses in amongst the fuzz - which lets it off sounding so similar to 'I Wanna Be Adored'... David Renshaw
3. Memory Tapes - Bicycle
Memory Tapes = Memory Cassette + Weird Tapes. Call it a unification of musical projects if you must, but the fact remains that it's all one person... and why one person feels the need to confuse us with three distinct musical monikers is beyond me. 'Bicycle,' from the EP of the same name, is a mischievous, starlit escapade through soggy urban laneways. A serene head-clearer for when the pub's closing and you don't want to go home. Radhika Takru
4. Pride Parade - 'If You See Her, Say Hello'
Athens, Georgia could well be my new favourite place in the world. It's birthed Harvey Milk, and now Pride Parade. Bearing in mind the amount of indie-rock that's been churned out of the area, it's strange that no-one thought one day sludge would roll into town and fill the streets with thick gloops of guitar noise. 'If You See Her, Say Hello' might open with a jaunty mouth harmonica trill, but it wastes no time in kicking down the barn doors and making a break for the city. The lightning fast guitar-work might thrill as much as the runaway drumkit, but it's the throatily inaudible holler which steals the show. The aural equivalent of being taken to a bar and being given a lapdance by a very angry, hairy man. Philip Bloomfield
5. Stricken City - 'Pull The House Down'
If this band were a Venn diagram, they'd have chunks of Libertines' otherworldliness, The Rapture's Beatles-istic landscapes and Long Blondes' Blondie-leaning indie-chic chick charm - yet they somehow lurch, drift and float away from each of these convenient reference points with the ooohing coo of Rebekah Raa. Why they're not a much bigger deal is beyond me, but then I'm the kinda idiot that thought The Sundays, The Longpigs, dEUS and Life Without Buildings should have been massive. Mini album Songs About People I Know is out now on import (although confusingly they're from the UK). Sean Adams
6. With That Knife - 'Tonight We'll Find Out'
With That Knife are a Manchester-based band who deal in a mix of At The Drive-In vocal histrionics and Foals-style hooks. Tonight We'll Find Out has a boundless energy to it that's nothing short of infectious, veering between a jagged guitar/synth verse and a visceral, full-throated chorus. It's also a hell of a lot of fun to dance to! Simon Catling
7. The Cubical - 'Like Me I'm A Peacock'
If imitation is the highest form of flattery, Don Van Vliet's cheeks will turning a deep red when he hears this Liverpudlian quintet. Oh, and guys... Tom Waits called, he wants his growl back. The key difference between The Cubical and the other thousand odd Beefheart/Waits acolytes, though, is that they actually pull off this primal, experimental form of rock 'n' roll with considerable poise. It's fine to sound like other bands, then, as long as your references are this impeccable, and your videos this demented. John Roberts
8. The Drums - 'Let's Go Surfing'
It's not just the subject matter that makes us think of The Beach Boys when we hear NYC-via-Florida quartet The Drums - there's that same sense of naive tunefulness that permeates the poppier end of Wilson et al's repertoire here. 'Let's Go Surfing' is one of several crackers on forthcoming mini-album Summertime!, and even though that's set to drop as we approach Autumn over here we're still banking on The Drums to warm up those colder months for us. That is, if we haven't listened to it a million times over and got bored before then! Rob Webb
9. Neon Indian - 'Deadbeat Summer'
There is something so immediately satisfying about the chilled retro-synthesizer vibe driving the arrangements here that when crunchy guitars break through the haze. it's like putting a cold beverage to your cheek on a hot, lazy afternoon. Although the "Deadbeat summer" refrain implies regret, the tone of Alan Palomo's distant vocal presence suggests otherwise, making it the ideal exercise video soundtrack for people who don't like to exercise. Bruce Porter
10. The Specific Heats - 'Violent'
The Specific Heats may be yet another gem unearthed from Brooklyn's prolific underground scene but on first listen, they sound like a band that could have been formed at any time during the past four decades. Mixing surf guitars, garage punk, lo-fi pop sensibilities and occasional noise-infused melodies, their three-girl, one-boy DIY fare is a breathtaking joy to behold. Dom Gourlay
