Intra-tumoral Colloidal Radioactive P32 Delivery
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I understand there is a new treatment for pancreatic cancer, which involves injecting radioactive isotopes or pellets into the actual tumor with little or no side effects.
Do you have any idea who may be treating the disease in this way?
Li Liu, MD Editorial Assistant for OncoLink, responds:
Dear BG,
Thank you for your question and interest.
The treatment you have asked about is known as Intra-tumoral colloidal radioactive P32 delivery. This has been used for non-resectable pancreatic cancer without metastases. It was first introduced by Dr. Stanley E. Order at Cooper Hospital in Camden, New Jersey.
Patients with a biopsy proven diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas which was limited to the head, body, or tail of the pancreas, tumor not greater than 5cm in diameter (and deemed non-resectable) were eligible for their study. Patients with previous treatment with chemotherapy, radiation to the pancreas, liver or gastrointestinal tract, histology other than adenocarcinoma, cirrhosis, tumor invasion of the stomach or duodenum, a history of inflammatory bowel disease or abdominal or distant metastases were ineligibility for this study.
In this study radioactive P32 was injected under CT guidance into the pancreatic tumor. This procedure could be repeated one week later. The patients in their study also received external beam radiation therapy in combination with concomitant 5-FU chemotherapy. The preliminary report has shown some promising results. The study was presented at the most recent Annual Meeting of American Society of Therapeutic Radiation Oncology (ASTRO).

Let's review some of the new features. First, and most notably, we have "Conversations." Conversations are short blurbs that most users[1] can add for other users to comment on. OSNews rules say that conversation in the forums must be on-topic. Want to talk about the new Ubuntu? How about expected Leopard features? Want to take a tangential debate offline? You can start a conversation and talk about virtually anything, and not worry about affecting your account standing by getting down-modded for being off-topic. Please note that all conversations and conversation comments posted in the beta period will be deleted when we go live.
Secondly, a not-often requested feature that I personally see a need for and wanted: private messaging. We discussed, on our staff mailing list, the appropriate way to contact a user - do we just use the email they provided us? Do we post something to them? Now we have a way - private messages. PMs offer full functionality. Notifcation, a reply function, a full block list, etc. You can PM any active user who hasn't blocked you. Yo ucan test the PM system now by sending me a private message during the beta test - the system is configured to auto-respond to PMs to me during the beta test. This is solely so that you can test the functionality of this feature. Note that I will actually receive the messages, so please keep the messages clean (or at least try to entertain me).
Thirdly - AJAX everywhere it made sense. Not overused - no superbloated javascript to slow down every page load and do the same thing we could do in a two lines otherwise. Javascript everywhere it makes sense, but nowhere else. Look for it with bookmarking, recommending, moderation, and starring.
Starring? Yes, I often find on other popular sites that I like to bookmark links to stories, links to comments, etc. So, like the bookmark, you can now "star" a story. Yes, I stole this idea from Gmail. Yes, it's the same star. What's the difference between recommending and starring? Think of recommending as telling other users "you should read this" and starring as a bookmark for yourself.
RSS. A lot of it. Seriously. Check out every user's profile. Every users has about 6 custom feeds, and there are about 100 others for the main site. Please note that these feeds are only currently accessible if you change the URL to www4. However, do NOT subscribe to them yet, as the URL *will* change to when we go live.
CSS. A lot of it. Seriously. Since the site can be templated, we may be inclined at some point to offer multiple themes or just flat out replace the default one at some point.
Comment displays are now more flexible. You can view comments as flat, nested, or threaded. Furthermore, you can view all comments in one page, and you can even sort them by score. Comments below your threshold will inline but grayed out, and should you be tempted to read them anyway, you can drop them in place.
Speaking of comments, on replies, there is now a button that says "Quote Parent." This allows you to place the text of a parent comment into [q] tags. As of right now, this is the proper way to quote a comment. The quoted comment will appear in its own field, clearly demonstrating that it is quoted text (see image on the right). You can begin to use the q tags RIGHT NOW; they are backported to v3 and will render as regular italics.
Avatars! Well, this is really in beta right now because I'm still playing with image resizing. Right now all images are converted into PNG by PHP, transparency is not supported, and images over 500K return a server error, but we'll iron those issues out before rollout. Most standard, reasonably-sized images should work just fine. At first, this may seem unnecessary (and should you decide it is, you can turn them off in your preferences), but I'm telling you, after using v4 almost exclusively for several weeks now, they are great for identifying people's comments.
Speaking of which, the people with whom you have a relationship (either a friend of yours, a fan of yours, or both) will have comments colored differently than everyone else to quickly draw your attention. Your own comments will be a garish green - until I replace it with a better background. Let's look at the image to the left. Notice the friend is green, the fan is yellow, the mutual friend is orange, and the regular comments are a nice light green wave.
We got polls! Although we don't have any real polls visible yet, v4 supports native polling, which was long overdue. We are using jpgraph to generate graphs. Neat stuff.
News tags. Once in awhile, something will come up like MacWorld, WWDC, WinHEC, etc, where several articles will be logically grouped together. For right now, each article can have a keyword and clicking the keyword will bring you to that group. For the time being, here is an example: Meta.
Headlines are integrated into the sidebar. For now, we offer three feeds: the OSN Staff Blog, OSGalaxy, and Gnomefiles.
We built a much needed, greatly expanded search. Want to find your old comments from the days before registration? So did I. Click the "Advanced Search" link in the sidebar to explore our search facility.
Advertisements are integrated throughout the site, and everyone sees them while in beta. When I take the beta flag off, they will disappear for subscribers. I also intend to offer subscribers some other goodies in the future, such as free ice cream with each visit. Well, okay, we can't offer that, but we're looking into other features.
We're very excited to hear your thoughts on OSNews v4. We've had several users testing it and providing feedback, and thus far, the response is overwhelmingly positive. Please use the comments in this thread to discuss OSNews 4, not the Conversations section (although you can use that too, but let's keep the discussion in one place). Feel free to test Private Messaging with me, as my account will automatically reply to you.
So, without further ado, OSNews, version 4 Beta.

Acceptances, Denials, and Waitlists / Re: William and Mary Waitlist« on: June 05, 2009, 07:08:44 AM »
I got a response. See below. Does this mean I'm pretty much hopeless?
Also, did anyone receive a differenty type of E-mail/letter from them?
Dear XXX
When you were placed on the wait list for admission to William & Mary Law School, you were advised that favorable action could be taken on your application only in the event of openings in the class. We are currently over-committed in the Class of 2012 based on deposits paid. We may be able to admit some wait listed students if we receive withdrawals, so we will continue to maintain an active wait list throughout the summer.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to predict the number of spaces, if any, that will become available. Please let us know if you have elected to enroll in another law school. Dean Neal Wixson is the primary contact for wait list correspondence.
We appreciate your interest in William & Mary Law School and regret being unable to take favorable action on your application at this time. It has been an extremely competitive year with our applications continuing at record levels.
Neal E. Wixson
Assistant Dean for Admission
(757) 221-3307
Jennifer M. Thurston
Assistant Dean for Admission
(757) 221-3811
Faye F. Shealy
Associate Dean for Admission
(757) 221-3784
I got the same email; i think everyone on the wait list did. I don't know about hopeless, but it probably means that our chances are not terrific. I guess you should just shoot them an email telling them your situation and hope for the best.

Asus Eee Box Atom-based desktop mini PC
Small, Cheap Computers aren't just laptops, you know
How well did it perform? According to PCMark05, exactly like all the other Atom-based Small, Cheap Computers out there. The chart shows the Eee Box's numbers set against figures from a small selection of Atom-based netbooks and a 2GHz Core 2 Duo-equipped Acer Aspire 2920 laptop.
PCMark05 Results
Longer bars are better
Because it supports a standard screen size of 1280 x 1024, the Eee Box would run PCMark's graphics tests when other SCCs won't, hence the gaps in the Graphics and the Overall sets. But it's clear the Core 2 Duo machine knocks the Eee Box into a cocked hat, performance-wise.
Mind you, it costs twice as much, and the question you have to ask is whether all the raw performance is necessary. The Eee isn't a machine for serious Photoshop users, for instance, or for folk who want to edit or transcode video. This is not a number cruncher's box, or a games machine, and it doesn't pretend to be. But we had no trouble doing casual Photoshop picture editing.
The Eee Box in either of its colour schemes will set you back a reasonable £250. You'll have to buy a monitor, keyboard and mouse separately, unless of course you already have these essentials.
You can buy a cheap Dell desktop for £250 too, but it'll be a chunky, ugly box. Dell's rather more stylish Studio Hybrid, which is about 2-3 times as thick as the Eee Box, comes in at £400, but that's with a single-core Celeron M processor. Going dual-core takes the price to £439, but either model comes with a optical drive and a 160GB HDD. You'll have to add an external optical drive if you plan to install on the Eee any apps you can't download.
Just as Asus re-invented the laptop, it has introduced a new take on the mini PC. Intel's Atom is no powerhouse, but it provides sufficient horsepower for all but the most demanding of computing tasks. It's fine for internet, media playback and office apps. It's cheap and looks cute too. What's not to like about this simple, successful product?

Member, Undergraduate Education Committee.
Dr. Reitzer's research involves the regulation of gene expression and metabolism in Escherichia coli and pathogenic bacteria with a focus on responses to environmental stresses, such as nitrogen limitation. Work in progress is also analyzing pathways of the catabolism of polyamines, compounds which correlate with growth rate, and the function of transaminases, especially with respect to the function of their broad specificity.
Research Interests
The response regulator NtrC transcriptionally activates genes of the nitrogen-regulated (Ntr) response. Phosphorylation of its N-terminal receiver domain stimulates an essential oligomerization of the central domain. Deletion of the central domain reduces, but does not eliminate, intermolecular interactions as assessed by cooperative binding to DNA. To analyze the structural determinants and function of this central domain-independent as well as phosphorylation-independent oligomerization, we randomly mutagenized DNA coding for an NtrC without its central domain and isolated strains containing NtrC with defective phosphorylation-independent cooperative binding. The alterations were primarily localized to helix B of the C-terminal domain. Site-specific mutagenesis that altered surface residues of helix B confirmed this localization. The purified NtrC variants, with or without the central domain, were specifically defective in phosphorylation-independent cooperative DNA binding and had little defect, if any, on other functions, such as non-cooperative DNA binding. We propose that this region forms an oligomerization interface. Full-length NtrC variants did not efficiently repress the glnA-ntrBC operon when NtrC was not phosphorylated, which suggests that phosphorylation-independent cooperative binding sets the basal level for glutamine synthetase and the regulators of the Ntr response. The NtrC variants in these cells generally, but not always, supported wild-type growth in nitrogen-limited media and wild-type activation of a variety of Ntr genes. We discuss the differences and similarities between the NtrC C-terminal domain and the homologous Fis, which is also capable of intermolecular interactions.

A federal agency that regulates commodities trading says it brought the most enforcement actions it has in its 37-year history during the budget year that ended Sept. 30.
The actions by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission involved civil charges of manipulating prices, operating Ponzi schemes and other violations.
The CFTC said the total of 99 actions it filed in fiscal 2011 was 74 percent higher than the 57 it filed the previous fiscal year. The agency also said it obtained court orders imposing around $450 million in civil fines and restitution on companies and individuals. That compared with about $200 million in the previous year.
The CFTC oversees futures and options trading in commodities like oil, natural gas and agricultural products as well as financial instruments.

Dec. 17, 2012
By: Brandon Mellor (@BrandonMellor), Seminoles.com Managing Editor
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Okaro White posted a double-double and the Florida State men's basketball team emerged from finals week with a 63-48 victory over Louisiana-Monroe Monday night at the Donald L. Tucker Center.
Despite committing 19 turnovers against the War Hawks (1-6), the Seminoles (6-4) benefitted from White's team highs in points (19) and rebounds (11) and by a large discrepancy in free throw attempts and makes.
FSU finished the game with 20 converted free throws on 24 attempts while ULM went to the line just six times and made three of them.
"Of course you are always happy when you can come away with a victory when you don't play as well as you feel you are capable of playing," FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said.
Leading scorer Michael Snaer didn't play Monday night so White picked up the slack. The junior forward was 3-of-9 from the field and 1-of-4 from 3-point range but finished the contest 12-of-13 from the free throw line. Freshman Aaron Thomas started in place of Snaer and more than chipped in as well. On 6-of-12 shooting from the field and a 5-of-5 mark from the free-throw line, Thomas poured in a career-best 17 points to go along with six rebounds.
Fellow freshman Devon Bookert was impressive leading the offense and posted a team-high five assists to go along with his 10 points. Montay Brandon added seven points and Kiel Turpin and Terrance Shannon each had five rebounds.
"We had spurts throughout the game," White said. "Obviously we don't feel like we played a total game but those spurts that we had that we showed great energy, those are signs that we can play that way the whole game."
The Seminoles held every War Hawk player below double-digit scoring except for Trent Mackey, who finished with a game-high 22 points. Of ULM's 23 turnovers the Seminoles scored 39 points thanks to eight steals and seven blocks.
FSU finished the game 19-of-47 shooting from the field while Louisiana-Monroe was 19-of-50.
The Seminoles had 26 rebounds to the War Hawks' 18. Thirteen of the 'Noles' turnovers occurred in the first half as FSU took just a 30-25 lead into halftime.
"Tonight we had a few mishaps but we brought it together and pulled out the win," said sophomore Terry Whisnant II, who had three points and three steals.
Next up for the 'Noles is a game at Charlotte, Dec. 22 at 2 p.m.

Less than a month after the horrific school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, the students and teachers of Sandy Hook Elementary are preparing to return to school.
Plus: Post Your Thoughts and Prayers for Sandy Hook
Parents are encouraged to accompany their kids when classes resum on January 3. Chalk Hill School, a former middle school, will act as a temporary venue for the Sandy Hook children. School officials have tried to entirely re-create classrooms in order to make the transition as comfortable as possible for the students. The therapy dogs that were brought into Newtown after the shooting will also be on site at the school to comfort children.
Plus: Should Sandy Hook Elementary Reopen?
"I want parents and families enduring the loss of their precious children to know their loved ones are foremost in our hearts and minds as we move forward," interim principal Donna Page wrote in a letter to parents. "We recognize your needs are paramount in our preparations and planning. Your strength and compassion has been and will continue to be an inspiration to me and countless others as we work to honor the memory of your precious children and our beloved staff."
Do you think it's a good idea to let the Sandy Hook kids return to school so soon? Leave a comment and let us know.

Lets pretend for a moment that we are taking the SATs, just for fun because we all know what a good time that test is. Analogies were a particular kick in pants, so heres one: Economics is to politics as capital is to __________?
If you said freedom, you were right at least by my way of thinking; the smart folks at Educational Testing Service might have another idea. Heres mine.
At some level, each and every policy that is considered let alone implemented is analyzed for its economic effects. Sometimes this is explicit, such as with monetary policy or tax rates. More often, it is a bit more nuanced.
Environmental regulations, for instance, have an economic effect, but so do the scenarios those regulations are trying to correct. There would be less incentive to impose restrictions on air pollution if breathing dirty air did not have significant negative externalities that society must bear along with the individuals affected by pollutants.
Striking the right balance between costs and benefits does not come easy, really ever, and in large part that might be because of the ideology described in the economics is to politics analogy.
Under that rubric, politics and policies that result from them are designed to generate, perpetuate, protect and elevate freedom above all other concepts. That notion provides a built-in check on governments function: It should only be empowered to the extent that is furthering the freedom of those governed. Sounds pretty good until you spend a little time unpacking what freedom really means.
Merriam-Webster offers a surprisingly long list of definitions: 1: the quality or state of being free: as a) the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action; b) liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another: independence; c) the quality or state of being exempt or released usually from something onerous; d) ease, facility; e) the quality of being frank, open, or outspoken; f) improper familiarity; g) boldness of conception or execution; h: unrestricted use; 2: a) a political right; b) franchise, privilege.
Many of these definitions assume that those who possess freedom do so in a vacuum; that the very act of being free fails to consider whether that freedom affects others in a way that might impinge on their freedoms.
It forgets that humans are social beings and that freedom must defined in terms of community, and therefore consider the notion of responsibility as well.
Unfettered freedom is simply not realistic outside of ones own head. The very fact that government is charged with providing and protecting freedom illustrates the point that freedom is a bit more complex than doing whatever I want to do, whenever I want to do it.
So then there is the corollary: economics and capital. The idea that the former is designed to generate as much of the latter as possible, regardless of consequence is enshrined in our thinking and our politics, and heavily influences our policies. But as with freedom, capital comes with some responsibilities, too. Amassing it is fine, provided that doing so does not come at the expense of others attempts at the same.
Ensuring that such a bargain is struck requires recognition that economics and politics and the pursuits that they each engender are systemic, contextual and complicated. Accordingly, it is easy to demand freedom: to earn, to save, to spend, to worship, to work, to not work, to receive health care, to not receive health care; but it is impossible to deliver each of those freedoms (or manifestations of capital) without compromising someone elses counterbalancing demand.
Yes, economics is about money, but it also about keeping systems whole and functioning take a look at Europe for a timely example of how challenging it is to respond to cultural differences united under a single currency, but which lack a unified monetary policy. So, too, is politics and its resultant policy about freedom at least in our rhetorical and electoral system. But it is also about community.
This is true whether at the local, state or national levels, and recognizing it to say nothing of responding to it requires courageous leadership. It is true that codifying into policy a vision for the future, regardless of the particular issue, will curtail some freedoms. Establishing a social safety net, a military presence or a shaping community development through planning each requires tradeoffs, sacrifices and investment. Each requires action.
Failing to take that action does not mean increased freedom for individuals or more money in their pockets. It does, however, mean less trust and less community. There is little good that can come from that trajectory.

Just when you think it was over and starting to get good again. Well we did see some availability return with lower prices for a while. Wideners has said there is a big increase in ammo/reloading supplies comming by 4/11. Great. Now is the time to purchase your hunting/plinking stuff. To see who has the best deals go to; http://www.gun-deals.com they have most of the ammo suppliers so you can compare prices. I shop at http://www.midwayusa.com , http://www.grafts.com , http://www.natchez.com , http://www.wideners.com and at http://www.aimsurplus.com too. It pays to surf and browse the net too. The guns that shoot the 22's are looking good more and more. I like to shoot the 22's inbetween the ammo shortages and the price increases. Plus we can spend more time with the little guys plinking at soda cans too.
Plus the grocery store prices will be going much higher besides our gas prices too. Heck whats not going up? Just when my garden was going smaller with the kids gone i'll be making it bigger to feed them again too. The misses will probably can more too. I have to say the pickles even taste better and there really easy to do too. I suggest growing more and if you live in an apartment get the 5 gallon buckets and plant on your deck. Either way we can have success at saving $$ and eating fresher home grown stuff. Having a garden in my family goes way back in the generations all the way back to italy. My grandfather made home made wine too with my dad but it was never passed on to me. We may get into that too sooner or later. I say to learn all we can from the old timers too. We never know when we made need it. Eat good, stay healthy and godbless; BigBill
BTW; Easter is just a few weeks away and i can't wait for the home made fresh macoroni, it just makes every holiday special. The italian "a beats a gain" thats the bread stuffed with the meat, cheese, egg and farmers cheese in it. We put in pepperoni, salami, provolone, italian ham, cabagool, eggs and farmers cheese. And don't leave out the black pepper in the dough. Sorry for the poor spelling but it tastes so much better than the words/sounds. It makes every easter awesome. This is truely old school and a forgotten art. It cost me over $100 just for the meat.

Re: Big increase in ammo/reloading supplies by 4/11
Some of the priv-partizan ammo jumped from $12 a box to $18 a box for 20rds already.(6,5mm swedish mauser ammo)
I been buying brass and bullets already so i can reload. Bill

NEW DELHI (AP) — Dozens of Indian nurses who had been stranded in territory held by Islamic militants in Iraq are safe and will be flown back to India on Saturday, an Indian official said Friday.
Forty-six nurses had been holed up for more than a week in Tikrit, where fighters in the Islamic State group have taken over. On Thursday they were moved to a new area under the extremist group's control, India's foreign ministry had said.
The chief minister of Kerala state, Oommen Chandy, said that the nurses will return home on a special aircraft arranged by the Indian government. They are expected to arrive in the southern city of Kochi, which is in Kerala.
It remained unclear whether the nurses had been held by the militants or were just stranded in their territory, and Chandy offered no details.
"We are thankful to the government of India," Chandy said.
According to the foreign ministry, 39 Indian construction workers were abducted two weeks ago and were being held by the militants, but were safe and unharmed.
About 10,000 Indians work and live in Iraq, but only about 100 are in violent, insecure areas.
The abducted construction workers were mostly from northern states including Punjab and had been employed by the Tariq Noor al-Huda construction company.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Riley Cooper fractured his left collarbone today at Eagles training camp.
The Eagles wide receiver injured his collarbone when he fell awkwardly after getting tangled up with cornerback Curtis Marsh during one-on-one drills. Cooper is entering his third season in the NFL. He was the Eagles' fourth receiver last season and played well on special teams.
"I think it's a bump in the road," Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said. "He'll recover from it. He's had a good offseason and because he's had that offseason he's gotten a lot of reps ... and gotten stronger and got more knowledge of our system and that will benefit him when he's ready to come back."
Broken collarbone injuries typically take one to two months to recover from, depending upon the break. Cooper still has to undergo an x-ray. The Eagles open the season on Sept. 9 at Cleveland, a little over six weeks from now.
Cooper's absence could allow receivers like rookie Marvin McNutt or Damaris Johnson to make an imprint with coaches. Roseman said that it was too early to say if the Eagles will add a receiver after Cooper's injury.
"We're excited about the guys on our roster," Roseman said. "Again, at any position if there's something that interest us we'll explore it."
Defensive end Jason Babin suffered a calf strain and left practice early. He will have an MRI tomorrow. The Eagles said it was not an Achilles tendon injury.
Defensive tackle Antonio Dixon left practice early with cramps.

LONDON, U.K. - The controversial compulsory age verification check for online porn visitors that was proposed by the U.K. government and was set to be introduced in April, has now been delayed.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport announced in a statement that the compulsory verification check will now start "later in the year."
According to the department spokesperson, "We need to take the time to make sure we get it right."
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), which is the regulator has so far not released any information on exactly how the process will work.
According to the Open Rights Group's legal director, Myles Jackman, "This is a chance for the government to rethink the absence of safeguards for privacy and security, but it is frightening to consider that this policy was two weeks away from launch before it was pulled. [The government] needs to introduce powers to safeguard privacy immediately before this scheme causes real damage."
The delay in introduction of the process did not come as a shock to the industry in general as several companies that were developing age verification tools for the new regulation had previously warned that the deadline would likely not be met.
As per the new rule announced by the government, online pornography viewers will have to prove that they are over the age of 18 to watch explicit material on porn sites.
The rule is part of the Digital Economy Act and is designed to prevent children "stumbling" upon explicit content.
The April 2018 deadline for the introduction of an age verification scheme was set in July last year by the Digital Minister Matt Hancock.

One of Europe's largest hedge funds, Brevan Howard, reaped rewards from being on the other side of JPMorgan's infamous "London Whale" trade earlier this year by buying up tranches of mortgage and corporate bonds.
JPMorgan's "London Whale" trades resulted in losses for the bank which have ballooned to $5.8 billion from the initially estimated $2 billion in May. (Read More:JPMorgan Has Sold Off Majority of Losing Position.)
The BH Credit Catalysts Master Fund, which trades credit and mortgage-backed securities and purchased the credit-default swap (CDS) contracts from JPMorgan, posted gains of 9.46 percent, year to date through August 31, according to an investor briefed on the matter.
JPMorgan's "London Whale," Bruno Iksil, sold default protection on the residential mortgage-backed securities(RMBS) market in the form of an index of corporate credit-default swaps. Brevan Howard is one of the biggest RMBS traders in the market, and bought a large amount of JPMorgan's CDS.
"Both mortgage and corporate strategies were profitable in July, with the majority of the fund's gains attributable to the mortgage strategies," the hedge fund wrote in its monthly shareholder report for July. (Read More:London Whale Trades Led to Big Profits for BlueMountain.)
Brevan Howard's Macro Fund has fared worse this year. That fund posted losses of 0.45 percent on the year, compared to gains of 12.5 percent in 2011.
The $2.76 billion Credit Catalysts Master fund has proven to be one of the best performers for the $36.7 billion hedge fund founded by ex-Credit Suisse trader Alan Howard. The fund returned 34.8 percent in 2009 and 13.45 percent in 2010, although only returned 1.22 percent in 2011.
In the report, Brevan Howard alluded to more gains to come in the fourth quarter. "The fund continues to find more credit-sensitive securities with strong carry and further upside catalysts," the fund report stated. "The fund did sell a portion of its RMBS that hit price targets in July, but has continued to find further opportunities offering strong risk-reward characteristics."

Adding vegetables to potato salad boosts nutrition, color and general appeal. Here, chef Goetze chooses Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, asparagus and celery to toss with cooked Yukon Gold potatoes, but any seasonal vegetables can work. The pickling component comes from the easy addition of bread-and-butter pickle relish or chopped pickles.
9 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes
1 cup plus 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup plus 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1½ cups thinly sliced red onion
3 tbsp. minced garlic
2 tbsp. kosher salt
1 tbsp. granulated garlic
¾ tsp. ground white pepper
6 loosely packed cups outer Brussels sprouts leaves
2 cups sliced cauliflowerets
1½ cups sliced celery
1½ cups 2-in. pieces thin asparagus spears
1 cup bread and butter pickle relish or chopped bread and butter pickles
1½ cups finely chopped flat leaf parsley
1½ cups finely chopped chives
- Simmer potatoes in salted water to cover until tender, about 15 min.
- Meanwhile, make dressing: In large bowl, whisk oil, vinegar, onion, garlic, salt, granulated garlic and white pepper until blended.
- Drain potatoes and when cool enough to handle, but still warm, cut into ½- to ¾-in. dice, leaving skins on. Gently toss potatoes with dressing; fold in Brussels sprouts leaves and remaining ingredients. Season to taste with salt.

Titans add Horton, Cioffi to defensive staff
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt's defensive staff has a Cleveland Browns flavor.
Whisenhunt continued putting together his staff Monday by announcing the hiring of defensive coordinator Ray Horton and defensive backs coach Louie Cioffi, who each filled the same roles this season in Cleveland. The Browns fired head coach Rob Chudzinski after the season.
During the 2011 and 2012 seasons, Horton was defensive coordinator and Cioffi was defensive backs coach in Arizona while Whisenhunt was the Cardinals' head coach.
"I am excited about this opportunity, to be reunited with Coach Whisenhunt and to be a piece of the puzzle to move this team forward," Horton said Monday in a release announcing the move.
The Browns allowed the third-fewest yards per pass attempt of any NFL team this season. The Browns ranked ninth in the NFL in total defense, up from 23rd a year earlier.
"Scheme-wise, one of the most impressive things about Ray is his flexibility," Whisenhunt said in a team release. "He has the ability to go between a 4-3 and 3-4 and put our players in the best position to succeed. It has been evident by what he done and where his defenses have ranked in the league over the last few years."
Horton worked on the Pittsburgh Steelers' coaching staff from 2004-10. He also was a secondary coach for two seasons with the Detroit Lions and five seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. He began his coaching career as a defensive assistant for the Washington Redskins from 1994-96. Horton also had a 10-year playing career as a safety with the Cincinnati Bengals (1983-88) and Dallas Cowboys (1989-92).
During Cioffi's one season in Cleveland, Browns cornerback Joe Haden earned his first Pro Bowl selection and picked off four passes. Cioffi also helped the Cardinals lead the NFL in passer rating allowed and rank second in the league with 22 interceptions in 2012. Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson had seven interceptions in 2012 to earn his first Pro Bowl selection.
Cioffi also was a staff assistant with the New York Jets in 1993-94 and coached with the Cincinnati Bengals from 1997-2010.
"I am very excited to be reunited with Coach Whisenhunt and to get to work building a championship team," Cioffi said. "I think (Whisenhunt) is an outstanding communicator, a great motivator and terrific at attacking opposing offenses."

And this too shall pass
Back in the days of my youth, specifically in 1952, the stalemated Korean War frustrated most Americans because there was no clear end in sight. Sound familiar?
The time from 1951 to 1952 was recognized as the American "Winter of Discontent," a parody on the opening words from William Shakespeare's "Richard III." I suspect the humor of a true parody was inconsequential, considering the gravity of the time.
Although the economy was not an issue because the country was enjoying the strongest financial position in its history, Americans had other problems. The Korean War, the Cold War, and McCarthyism plagued the nation. The three issues appeared to be unsolvable, and the country's leaders were worn down. Hmmm . . . not unlike they are now.
President Harry S. Truman would not commit to seeking another term because he was not certain that he could win, and no other clear candidates were in sight. The nation was at a loss for a leader during this confusing time.
Through political maneuvering, posturing, and manipulation, retired General Dwight D. Eisenhower emerged as the Republican candidate against Democratic rival Adlai Stevenson so an election could take place.
While the country was suffering through the stresses of the Korean and Cold Wars, Senator Joe McCarthy, and the campaign between Adlai Stevenson and retired General Eisenhower, I was going through the stresses of being 9-years old.
My friends Kinky Boswell, Chilly Mac and Pookie Grossberg all shared the same dilemma. Nine was a weird age in 1952. We considered ourselves too old to be treated like children, yet we were not old enough to hang out with the big kids or to be allowed any significant independence.
We weren't old enough to have paper routes or any other "real" jobs. We had to depend on our allowances and running errands for family friends and relatives for nickels and dimes, or washing dad's car for a quarter. Pushing a lawn mower was still a chore that required more strength and size than any of us had. Skills that warranted worthwhile compensation had yet to be developed.
As if that were not enough, we quickly discovered that girls matured faster than boys did. The only girl in our group was Muffi n Duffy, and she beat us up on a regular basis because she was bigger than we were. That was a major worry just about every day.
Actually, Muffin was bigger than everybody in the elementary school except for Tank Mueller, who she singled out to be her boyfriend when they were in middle school. They were a formidable pair of bullies.
The only light we could see at the end of this miserable tunnel was to turn the magic age of 10— if we could survive that long.
Nonetheless, we were resourceful, and we found ways to compensate for the unwarranted oppression imposed on us.
During the summer, we would get up at first light, long before anyone else in our various households would even think of rising. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches would be made silently, in minutes, and notes to parents would be hastily written. "Gone fishing, be back before dark," the notes would say.
Returning before nightfall seemed to be the criteria used by most parents. We had to be visible before the last shards of twilight gave way to the dark, or severe penalties would be imposed.
During that time we would go fishing all right, but not at a local lake or pond. We would ride fast and furious and go far beyond the geographic boundaries dictated by our parents. Then, with stringers of fish in hand, we would ride like the wind to get back in time to make the nightfall curfew.
We did this every day except on Tuesday. We always came home for supper on Tuesday because that was meatballs and spaghetti night, and none of us wanted to miss that. We never came home for dinner on Thursday. That was liver night. We would rather starve than endure liver and onions.
When we turned 10, that wonderfully magical double-digit number, the final vestiges of oppression subsided and we began to experience freedom. We shed our children's bodies and shot up like weeds. We were given permission to ride our bikes beyond the boundaries of the neighborhood.
By the time we were 12, Muffi n Duffy was hardly the threat of the two previous years. We took interest in the new rock 'n' roll movement and witnessed Bill Haley and his Comets when they released "Rock Around the Clock." We were official teenagers when Chuck Berry recorded Johnny B. Goode, and life was wonderful.
The only thing I remember about that election in 1952 was the slogan "I Like Ike." I had no idea what it meant until I entered high school and had to be concerned with political issues.
When I reflect on those times, I am grateful for my parent's generation. They handled the wars, the atomic weapons, and the threat of communism.
We were immune to the perils of adult life. When I look back on those years, I would be wrong if I said anything other than, "My childhood was fabulous." Along with my friends, I was afforded the luxury of discovery on my own terms. The oppression was nothing more than love-driven guidance.
Now, when I watch the children who are growing up during this important election in our country's history, I hope that "Vote for Change," or "Put America First" are their only memories of this troubled time. For this too shall pass. I want them to do their job and discover life. They will be responsible adults soon enough.
Now is the time for them to have fun and embrace life for all it is worth, as they learn to live in this system we can't understand.

The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
The Suzuki Verona was introduced in the 2004 model year and discontinued after the 2006 model year.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has evaluated the crashworthiness of the Verona in two 40 mph moderate overlap frontal crash tests into deformable barriers. In the first test, the driver airbag deployed improperly because of reversed wiring. This led Suzuki to fix the wiring on cars in production and to initiate a safety recall to modify at its cost vehicles produced earlier. The Institute tested a second Verona with the fix and the airbag inflated correctly. Ratings of the Verona are based on the results of the second test, except structural performance is based on both tests.
Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on both tibias indicate that injuries to the lower right leg would be likely and injuries to the lower left leg would be possible. Head accelerations from the B-pillar, roof rail, and grab handle hits were low.
Dummy movement was reasonably well controlled in the second test. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the B-pillar, roof rail, and grab handle. Also, the driver's seat pitched forward slightly and tipped toward the door.
How this test is conducted
The Suzuki Verona was introduced in the 2004 model year and discontinued after the 2006 model year. Seat-mounted side airbags designed to protect drivers' and front passengers' heads and torsos were made standard in 2005-06 models. (In 2004 no side airbags were available.)
Two tests of the Verona were conducted, one a 2005 model equipped with standard side airbags, and one a 2004 model without side airbags. These vehicles are rated separately, except that the structural ratings and rear passenger head protection ratings for both vehicles are based on both tests.
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that a fracture of the pelvis would be likely in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that a left femur fracture would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side airbag that deployed from the seat.
Passenger — In tests of both the 2005 and 2004 models, the dummy's head was hit by the window frame and window sill of the rear passenger door. These hits did not produce high head injury measures. However, hitting the window areas should be prevented.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
President Shimon Peres last week swore in Israel's new chief rabbis at the official President's Residence in Jerusalem, where the winners of the recent contentious rabbinical election signed a declaration of allegiance to the Jewish state.
"The people of Israel need you today, perhaps more than ever, and thirst to find the shining path of Jewish tradition," Peres said, addressing Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi David Lau and Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef.
The president continued: "The people of Israel pray for an honorable rabbinate that will work toward national unity, a rabbinate with a soul that will respond with great spirit to the challenges of eternity and of day-to-day life. ...[a rabbinate] that will carry high the Ten Commandments."
In his speech, Rabbi Yosef said, "Our job is to work to earn the trust given to me, and I intend to stand on the commandment to bring people together. I call to everyone - give us a chance to restore the status of the rabbinate. An institution that suffers from a lack of legitimacy cannot function."
Rabbi Lau added, "We have been asked to think about every one of the people of Israel and seek their favor, to pass on the [national] legacy and illuminate the teachings of Judaism for all Israel. We will leave not stone unturned in the bookcase of Jewish teaching to find a worthy solution."
Addressing the gathering, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni offered her blessings and said, "My hope is that you will make Judaism inclusive and not just exclusive. We cannot find peace with our neighbors if we are not at peace with one another."
Livni was referring to the growing secular-religious rift in Israel, which played a major role in the recent national elections. Many young Israelis voted for new secular parties in protest over what they see as coercion and a shunning of responsibility by the religious sectors of society.

Monarch Insider No. 10 - Marquel De Lancey's Military Connection
By ODU Athletics
Nov. 7, 2010
Monarch Insider #10 - Marquel De Lancey's military connection
Veterans' Day is personal for ODU guard Marquel De Lancey.
Brendan O'Hallarn Monarch Basketball Insider
In the nervous moments before ODU men's home games, the audience is asked to stand so that an honor guard of ODU's ROTC battalions can present the colors.
The players are always in the locker room at that time, getting their last-minute instructions from coach Blaine Taylor. But backup point guard Marquel De Lancey will occasionally take a second and hope his brother Shameek is doing his job well, too.
Shameek De Lancey, 21, frequently is one of the soldiers who carry the flags out to court. A history major, with a minor in political science and military leadership, Shameek is enrolled in ODU's Army ROTC program. He said he gets so nervous before parading the colors he practically "blacks out."
But he's thrilled to be able to do his thing, then take a seat with the other ODU fans and watch younger brother Marquel do his. The admiration is mutual.
"I'm very proud, because I know he's doing something good. And he's got a plan to do better for himself. I just have so much respect for everybody that serves us," said Marquel, 20.
The brothers come from a military family. Both parents Mark De Lancey and Kelly Phoenix served in the Army. Shameek and Marquel were actually both born in Germany. Both did ROTC in high school. Shameek's life changed, however, when he joined the Army ROTC at ODU during his first year.
"When I originally came to ODU, I was thinking about sport management. But I joined the ROTC program and I really liked it. Pretty much everything I wanted to do in my life, I changed," Shameek said.
"ROTC just gives you an opportunity to develop your leadership capabilities. It helped develop me as a person overall, in a lot of different ways."
Shameek knows he's probably facing a posting in a war zone when he receives his officer commissioning. He's ready. "I signed up knowing that we're at war right now, and that deployment is probably inevitable. It's just something that you volunteer for when you're in the military. I look forward to it."
Marquel's in his own, 13-member army right now (the Monarchs). In September, during basketball conditioning work, both brothers were getting out of bed before dawn to run sprints and lift weights.
"I'm really proud to see Marquel play basketball. It's a big commitment while he's at school getting his education," Shameek said. "Waking up as a college student at 5:30 in the morning and going to work out. A lot of people don't see that, they just see the games. They don't see the work that goes into being a varsity athlete."
Shameek said he had no idea Marquel was planning to come to ODU to play basketball until he announced he was signing with the Monarchs.
"I was kind of surprised. We didn't really talk about it too much. He came down and visited one time and we had a pretty good time. But I had no idea what school he was leaning to," Shameek said.
For people who watch Marquel on the court and around the team, that's not surprising. He's one of the quietest members of the team, and doesn't open up to many people. That's why forward Frank Hassell, who doesn't have difficulty opening up to anyone, was thrilled when Marquel talked about his military upbringing when the team was in New Orleans last season.
"It surprised me. That meant he was getting real comfortable around us," Hassell said. "We're all brothers, and it was my first time seeing him talk about his mom and her service. It was really great to hear."
In fact, Marquel thinks often about a military career after his playing days are over. "When I was younger, I couldn't see myself doing it. But as I get older, I see the opportunity it creates. I'm not counting it out, that's for sure."
Coach Blaine Taylor is a patriotic guy. He leads a rousing rendition of God Bless America at every Meet the Monarchs dinner. In his 30 years as an assistant and head coach, Taylor said he's generally had good luck recruiting kids from military families.
"Part of it is probably a little more discipline, probably, in the household, maybe a little more toughness," said Taylor, whose father fought in the Navy in World War Two, and whose brother was in the Navy during the Vietnam War.
"That's a positive thing. And nothing's foolproof. But I think someone from that background might have a little more appreciation of opportunity, perhaps. When you look at the paper, or when you watch a movie like "Black Hawk Down," it makes you appreciate a little more that you can get a degree, play basketball, and live in the land of freedom and opportunity."
Exhibition schedule report
I had planned to write about Marquel De Lancey and his brother for Veterans' Day. But it turned out to be the perfect time to profile the physical, athletic backup point guard. De Lancey has been a revelation in the two exhibition games.
He scored 10 points off the bench in the 79-48 win over Virginia State University last Monday. Then on Saturday night, he was agile and physical again, scoring seven points, and adding four pretty assists in the 74-41 win over Elizabeth City State University.
One play was emblematic of De Lancey's new-found aggression this season. Inbounding the ball under the Elizabeth City basket, De Lancey casually flipped a lob pass to a streaking Kent Bazemore. Bazemore did well to catch the ball and get a shot up to the rim while falling back awkwardly, covered by three defenders. The shot was short, but who grabbed the rebound? De Lancey.
The offense worked the ball around for several passes, then the Monarchs fired an errant shot again (last season's outside shooting challenges may be manifesting themselves on court again this year). De Lancey grabbed ANOTHER rebound. Finally, with the shot clock running down, Bazemore hit a three-pointer.
Finney played strongly in both games last week, leading the team with 18 points against VSU, and 16 points versus ECSU, team high in both games. He's also been significantly more vocal, in the tunnel before the game and at halftime, and out on the court.
Finney dunked alley-oop passes in both games as well. I teased him that it's usually his running mate (Bazemore) who pulls off the high-flying dunks. "We're a tight bunch. I like to think of Kent and me as a one-two punch. If one of us doesn't get you, the other one will."
Hassell has started slowly, and was typically candid in his self-appraisal. "I played horrible," he said. Taylor pointed out, however, that the point guard and post positions are typically the hardest to get going in the flow of the offense at the start of a season.
"The whole team has to play well for the post guys to have a real effective game. And then your point guard, you're depending on these guys to run the club so much. Until the whole team gets in the groove, they don't get in the groove."

Sigma Unicorn Review
One component that always separates enthusiasts is the chassis that holds their components. The case can define your personality, show your taste, and your expertise in computers. Almost every enthusiast that I know has picked their case because of its features, but more importantly, its appearance. Personally, I love cases that are painted black, look very sleek and are complimented by a nice red or blue LED fan on the inside. I also tend to like cases that are either full tower or mid tower because almost every component I have has aftermarket parts installed on it. The biggest problem I have is trying to fit my CPU heatsink in the case or that really long video card. Let's take a look at a new mid tower case from Sigma named the Unicorn and see exactly what it has to offer.
Sigma is a rather new brand on the computer hardware scene, but from its products that I have seen, I can definitely say that the company has some unique and innovative products because I have never seen anything like some of them. The company's cases stand out more than anything to me and I'm very interested to see how this Sigma Unicorn case is like in terms of quality, performance, and aesthetics. Will this product alone cement Sigma's place in the computer hardware market as a heavy hitter? All of these questions and more will be answered as we examine this mid tower case.
Closer Look:
The Sigma Unicorn comes packaged in a fairly large black box with predominately red writing on it. On the front and back of the box, you'll be shown the case, as well as some of its key features. On either side of the box you'll be able to find the specifications of the case. One feature that really caught my eye was the ability to pull down each side of the case since one side contains a motherboard tray. For someone who is constantly swapping out hardware, a motherboard tray is a must in a case. I can't wait to open the box and see this feature!
The Sigma Unicorn is held in place by Styrofoam to prevent any damage during shipping. Also, you'll find plastic all over the case to protect it from scratches that it may incur.
Now let's take a closer look at the case itself.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (AP) - Parts of Illinois are bracing for wintry weather.
The National Weather Service says some parts of central and northern Illinois could get up to six inches of snow before a strong storm system moves out of the area on Saturday evening.
A Winter Weather Advisory is set to take effect in central Illinois starting at 3 p.m. Friday.
Forecasters say the storm is expected to start with a mixture of rain and sleet before switching over to snow in time for the evening rush in the area. Southeastern Illinois may get a smaller accumulation. The Chicago area is expected to get between two and four inches.
In northern Illinois, some areas could get half an inch of snow an area during the height of the bad weather.

It seems it was a heck of a lot easier when an auger simply plunged his hand into the steaming innards of a sacrificed goat or lamb and yanked out the liver to figure out what was going to happen next.
Now we have predictive analytics, even real-time predictive analytics, and fancy algorithms, which is a lot less colorful and maybe less accurate. One way or another it's still a matter of faith.
Anyway, Birst, the agile business analytics folk, has come out with a new version of Birst for Sales Analytics. It figures it can tickle a user's margins.
It claims the launch marks an industry first in delivering deep predictive analytics into sales performance and combining sales force automation (SFA) data with other data sources.
The new predictive capability uses historical data to model and predict the behavior of an organization's sales pipeline and opportunities. It claims the widgetry can predict sales pipeline movements and identify sales opportunities at risk of getting lost.
Birst said it will allow for the kind of micro-targeting that Obama used to win the election.
It tightly integrates with SFA applications and supports the leading SFA applications, including Salesforce.com, Siebel, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, SugarCRM and NetSuite.
Specific to the mighty Salesforce, the new release delivers in-context analytics and collaboration capabilities via Chatter for more actionable business insights.
The integration options are supposed to deliver a seamless and collaborative experience across the entire organization.
Besides letting users share Birst insights via Chatter, Birst takes advantage of the VisualForce framework to embed visualizations and report tables directly into Salesforce.com screens like Opportunity or Account.
CEO Brad Peters says rather than looking into the rearview mirror and telling an organization what's already happened, "Our new predictive capabilities give management and business analysts the ability to look through the windshield and see what is ahead, providing the ability to better plan and make better, more informed business decisions."
Birst says every organization has unique sales processes specific to its industry and customers, with multiple operational systems supporting these processes. However, existing sales analytics solutions are inflexible and too narrowly focused on a specific SFA application and its data to fully unlock insights into sales performance across an entire organization.
Lack of time series and trend analysis on snapshots of data over time limits the richness of analytical insights.
Birst for Sales Analytics is supposed to solve these challenges by providing a complete data warehouse that enables answers to what are said to be the most sophisticated analytical questions posed by complex sets of data spanning multiple disparate data sources.
The widgetry works across both public and private clouds. Birst reckons it's one-third the cost, time and staff of traditional big BI.

A first term full of legislative battles and upheaval overseas has made it difficult for President Barack Obama to recapture the soaring enthusiasm of his 2008 campaign. But a group of high-profile Obama surrogates had no trouble firing up the faithful at a Durango rally Friday afternoon.
About 150 people showed up outside the La Plata County Democrats building on the corner of College Drive and East Third Avenue to listen to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall, state Sen. Gail Schwartz and Lieutenant Gov. Joe Garcia, all of whom arrived in an RV emblazoned with campaign slogans.
Over the six-day tour, the RV will visit 18 Colorado cities to urge last-minute voter registration and delineate a sharp contrast between Obama and his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney.
After buttering up the crowd with flattering words about Durango a beautiful marvel of the planet, Salazar said the speakers jumped into attack mode.
They criticized Romney for his perceived malleability on policy issues and accused him of making disingenuous claims during the first presidential debate on Wednesday in Denver.
(In Colorado), we like when politicians say the same things on the Front Range and the Western Slope, the primary election and the general, Bennet said. Romney doesnt know what promises hes making. It wasnt the same guy on stage in Denver. Hell find out Coloradans are not amused by that stuff.
Garcia, who is bald, conveyed the same point with a touch of self-deprecating humor.
If I saw (Romney) on the street, hed tell me I had a great head of hair! he jested.
By contrast, the speakers praised Obamas consistency, listing financial-sector reform, the Affordable Care Act, repealing the Dont Ask, Dont Tell military policy and withdrawing combat troops from Iraq as major accomplishments of note.
The gathering drew some reactions from drivers passing by. Periodic honks of approval were interspersed with a few booing dissenters. At least one person was heard declaring his undying support for Ron Paul, who exited the race in May.
With Big Bird suddenly a campaign trail talking point, Udall invoked Sesame Street to criticize Romneys proposed discretionary spending cuts.
During the Wednesday debate, Romney pledged to eliminate federal funds ($445 million in fiscal year 2013) for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which subsidizes television network PBS.
What about Big Bird? Well protect Big Bird. Well protect Elmo. Well protect Bert and Ernie even though they live in the same room! Udall said, in a nod to Obamas endorsement of gay marriage in May.
Another line from Udall was probably the rallys biggest crowd-pleaser.
After recalling that the former Massachusetts governor came from a car family, Udall criticized Romneys opinion that Detroit automakers should have gone through managed bankruptcy and restructuring instead of being bailed out by American taxpayers.
What gear do you put the car in to move forward? D. he asked. To move backward?
R, the crowd finished with relish.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report has named Colorado one of eight swing states in the November election.

Czechs toast Bud-beating beer win
Na zdraví!
Beer drinkers in the Czech Republic, and that's most of country, will be raising a glass today to celebrate a local victory against Anheuser-Busch, the maker of US "beer" Budweiser.
The problem was that one of the Czech Republic's most famous beers, and biggest exports after Škodas and Semtex, is called Budweiser Budvar.
The battle over the name has been running for over 15 years - President Václav Havel promised to defend the Budweiser name in the mid-90s when the US company first tried to buy rights from the Czech firm.
In 1996 Anheuser-Busch tried to register a European trademark and a long legal battle began.
The European Court of Justice said Budějovický Budvar, which opposed the move, was not required to provide proof of renewal of its earlier mark. The court rejected the US application for an identical mark, found no grounds for appeal and therefore rejected the claim in its entirety.
The ECJ release is available from here.
Beer has been brewed in the town of České Budějovice since the 13th century but in its modern form, and name, since 1895. Anheuser-Busch is no spring chicken either - it has been busy in St Louis, Missouri since 1852.
The local myth when this reporter lived in the Czech Republic was that you shouldn't drink more than three Budvars without risking a headache, but maybe they just wanted to keep it for themselves. ®

Solving council dispute? There's no app for thatBy ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader correspondent
April 03. 2013 10:46PM
DERRY - The debate over the gift of an iPad to departing longtime town councilor Brian Chirichiello has continued to be a subject of debate and some heat among the current council.
At a council meeting on March 26, newly elected councilor Mark Osborne made a motion requesting Chirichiello return the iPad to the town. That discussion was tabled until Tuesday night's council meeting, and some councilors were not happy that the debate has taken up a good portion of the council's time and energy over the past several weeks.
Typically, departing town councilors are presented with a chair valued at $356. However, when Town Administrator John Anderson approached Chirichiello about a gift for serving nine years on the council, Anderson said Chirichiello stated he would rather have the iPad he had been issued as a councilor.
When Osborne once again made a motion on Tuesday night requesting Chirichiello return the iPad, Councilor Brad Benson said he believed it was time to put the issue behind the council and move forward.
"I believe this is politically driven and not financially driven," said Benson. "This is not in the best interest of the community."
Benson said the weeks of debate over the council gift was the biggest and most ridiculous waste of time he had witnessed in his time on the council.
"The best thing the council can do is be done with the iPad issue and set a policy going forward," said Benson.
However, Osborne said he objected to what he believed was Benson making a personal attack and that he felt the iPad was town inventory that Anderson did not have the right to give to Chirichiello as a gift.
Osborne said his interpretation of the town charter and regulations was that Anderson cannot give away town inventory without the approval of the Town Council.
He also said he has received many phone calls and emails from citizens expressing concern about the iPad issue.
Councilor Phyllis Katsakiores said she is very well known around town, yet had only fielded one question about the iPad issue.
Councilor Neil Wetherbee blocked Osborne's motion by raising a charter objection, citing the fact that he did not know if the town has the authority to ask for the return of property retroactively.
Anderson said town legal counsel would likely have to decide the issue.
"Asking legal counsel will probably cost more than $350," said Anderson.
"I'd be happy to drop the charter objection if the motion is dropped," said Wetherbee.
Osborne did not drop the motion, keeping the charter objection on the table.
A motion to do away with gifts to departing town councilors in the future did pass, with Benson, Wetherbee and Katsakiores abstaining.

Hmm... I dont remember exactly what I paid for my suits, but neither one was over $400 given the clearance sale on both. Both are brand names too (Brooks Brother's and Burberry), but were lower end suits by their respective brands. I havent heard any negative comments on my suits yet, so I guess they look fine.
Black sweats and a hoodie. Make sure your shoes are adidas though.
Quote from: Suzieq830 on July 08, 2007, 09:40:59 AMany advice for women? im assuming: pants or skirts suit, stockings, pumps, conservative jewlery?Pretty much. The advice we've gotten so far is: skirt suit (for interviews, at least), nice stockings, leather pumps, conservative jewelry. I just spent hours in Loehmanns trying to find classy skirt suits that didn't make me feel like a little girl in dress-up clothes. Our career services people also advised very low heels (I think they said a max of 1 to 1.5") but I went with a more traditional height because I'm a midget.
any advice for women? im assuming: pants or skirts suit, stockings, pumps, conservative jewlery?

Excellent column by Paul Krugman in the New York Times.
The important thing to understand now is that while the election is over, the class war isn't. The same people who bet big on Mr. Romney, and lost, are now trying to win by stealth — in the name of fiscal responsibility — the ground they failed to gain in an open election.President Obama and congressional Democrats hold the cards since the election. Let's hope they play the game to the advantage of the great majority of the citizens of the country. Keep in mind that the fiscal cliff is not that at all, but is rather a fiscal incline, and, if it comes to that, the slide down the incline will play a lot worse for Republicans than for Democrats.
Consider, as a prime example, the push to raise the retirement age, the age of eligibility for Medicare, or both. This is only reasonable, we're told — after all, life expectancy has risen, so shouldn't we all retire later? In reality, however, it would be a hugely regressive policy change, imposing severe burdens on lower- and middle-income Americans while barely affecting the wealthy. Why? First of all, the increase in life expectancy is concentrated among the affluent; why should janitors have to retire later because lawyers are living longer? Second, both Social Security and Medicare are much more important, relative to income, to less-affluent Americans, so delaying their availability would be a far more severe hit to ordinary families than to the top 1 percent.
Note to Mr President and Congressional Democrats: Hold the line! (You don't need to tell me; I know I'm mixing metaphors.)
As for Thelma and Louise, they landed safely and moved to Mexico.

cairns, I thought we previously discussed this, but I couldn't find it in the thread; did we agree to put a maximum of 2 on the starting positions, to keep players in 1v1 from getting 6 starting positions (3 player games would also go from 4 to 2 per player, and 4 player games would go from 3 to 2). The attached file does not have the maximum, but that's a quick fix, so let me know one way or the other.
Well no, i don't think this was discussed, but if we're going to do that it needs to be on the map.
So let me know what you and ian decide.
Also, can you adjust some of the centering for the treasury each side and also the beacons. I think the ships and land regions are pretty good.
