Recalling the life of Van Johnson, who has died aged 92, is not simply to remember a talented, once boyishly handsome film and stage star, but a golden era of Hollywood. A time when MGM could claim "more stars than there are in the heavens" and leading men fell into distinct types, of which Johnson's freckle-faced boy-next-door was one. He also fell into another significant category, the MGM leading man, the guy who squired the gals. Leading ladies such as Elizabeth Taylor, June Allyson and Esther Williams were paired with him, as was Judy Garland and such male luminaries as Spencer Tracy, Clark Gable and Gene Kelly.
But that was then, and those heydays - in Johnson's case from the early forties until the mid-fifties - are long gone. In the course of a dozen years he appeared in nearly 50 movies, out of the total of 80 that he notched up between 1942 and 1992. In addition to big screen roles, he starred in many television dramas and mini-series, and guested in such programmes as Batman and Murder, She Wrote. He often returned to the stage, where he began his career in New Faces of 1936, starring in such musicals as The Music Man (on tour and in London) and La Cage aux Folles.
Such a career would have seemed impossible to his resolutely non-showbusiness family. Charles Van Johnson was born in Newport, Rhode Island. His mother, an alcoholic, abandoned the family early on, and he was brought up by his austere Swedish-American father, also called Charles. Johnson's stepson, Ned Wynn, wrote in his memoir, We Will Always Live in Beverly Hills, that when Johnson became a star he invited his father to Los Angeles and took him to the famous Chasen's restaurant, only for Charles Johnson to refuse to eat anything but a tuna sandwich. "Van was devastated," Wynn wrote. "He had wanted to show his father that now, after years of a grey, loveless, miserly life, he was a star, he could afford steak. And the old bastard had beaten him down one more time."
Johnson moved to New York after finishing high school in 1935. The engaging young man with a bright smile and sandy hair took dancing and singing lessons and began work in the chorus. In 1939 he landed a small part in Pal Joey while understudying the star, Kelly. Just 15 years later, he shared top billing with Kelly in the film version of Brigadoon.
After such useful training, he headed west, making an uncredited debut in Too Many Girls (1940) and securing a contract with Warner Bros. When that lapsed, he was taken up by MGM and became a contract player, joining the illustrious group who made up the largest and most famous group of entertainers ever controlled by one organisation. In an interview in 1985, he recalled his years at MGM with fondness. "It was one big happy family and a little kingdom," he said. "Everything was provided for us, from singing lessons to barbells. All we had to do was inhale, exhale and be charming. I used to dread leaving the studio to go out into the real world, because to me the studio was the real world."
Johnson got a lucky break with Dr Gillespie's New Assistant (1942) where he played the role vacated by Lew Ayres (whose objection to the war made him unemployable in Hollywood for many years). So popular was Johnson that by his third appearance as the assistant he had taken over as star. The following year, Johnson played a pilot guarded over by an angel (Tracy) in A Guy Named Joe, one of the 20 or so films that made him a bobby soxers' delight. While filming it, however, he had a near-fatal car crash that made him unfit for military service. Helped by the comparative lack of competition - Robert Taylor, James Stewart and Gable had all joined the armed services - he soon became a leading man. In 1944, he received his first top billing in Two Girls and the Sailor. Two years later Johnson entered the list of Hollywood's top 10 stars, fourth only to Greer Garson, Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman. He was among the all-star cast in the glossy Week-End at the Waldorf (1945), and the dry leading man in two Williams extravaganzas, The Thrill of Romance (1945) and Easy to Wed (1946). By the war's end he was an established star.
In 1948 he displayed increasing versatility by starring in a sturdy war film, Command Decision, switching to a frothy romance, The Bride Goes Wild, opposite Allyson, and then joining his friend Tracy - and Katharine Hepburn - in Frank Capra's political satire State of the Union. This sharp movie gave him one of his best parts, and he followed it in 1949 with the engaging In the Good Old Summertime, MGM's musical reworking (for Garland) of the classic The Shop Around the Corner.
But he was soon back at war in the memorable Battleground (1949), and the early 1950s ushered in even more work - 16 movies between Grounds for Marriage (1951) and his final contract film for MGM, The Last Time I Saw Paris (1954), with Taylor. In this busy period he made his last film with Williams, Easy to Love (1953), played a sympathetic priest in When in Rome (1952) and an army captain in Siege at Red River (1954). Also in 1954 came the prestigious but dull Brigadoon.
It looked for a while as though more characterful roles would beckon as he nudged 40. The best of these was in The Caine Mutiny (1954), playing Lieutenant Maryk, the officer who takes command when Captain Queeg (Humphrey Bogart) loses his marbles, only to find them again in the climactic court scene. His director, Edward Dmytryk, thought so highly of him that he (miscast) him in an adaptation of Graham Greene's The End of the Affair (1955), playing the adulterous writer. Much criticism was levelled at the Americanisation of his character. Even so, he returned to Britain to play another writer in the thriller 23 Paces to Baker Street (1956). Here the writer, on the track of a murderer, was hampered by blindness, not guilt, and Johnson received better notices for this.
Sadly these meatier roles did not lead to a sustained change of direction. In 1957, he co-starred with a dog in the amiable Kelly and Me, and later that year took the title role in a television film The Pied Piper of Hamelin. Between then and the late 1960s he alternated between war movies (The Last Blitzkrieg and The Enemy General) and fun comedies (Wives and Lovers and the witty Divorce American Style), but never re-established his earlier fame.
Like other actors of his generation, Johnson found it easier to work in Europe and television, where his experience was more gratefully received than in Hollywood. In the late 1960s and 70s his work in Spain and Italy included Battle Squadron, The Price of Power and The Concorde Affair. These were squeezed between equally forgettable TV dramas such as Call Her Mom (as president) and mini-series such as Rich Man, Poor Man (1976).
The 1980s and 90s were less busy. He was demoted to vice-president in The Kidnapping of the President (1990), a general in Delta Force Commando II (1990) and a captain in Taxi Killer (1988). There were further films in Italy and some TV work. Among all the dross was a role in Woody Allen's The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985). Even this, playing a supporting role to the tedious antics of the stars, must have been more satisfying than the almost unseen Australian movie, Clowning Around (1992), where after taking fifth billing to a group of nonentities he quietly retired. According to the estimable film-writer Ephraim Katz he could, in his 80s, be found ensconced in a Manhattan penthouse, delighting in his cat Fred and his hobby of painting acrylics.
Though his screen image was generally lighthearted and he referred to himself as "Cheery Van", Wynn remembered him as anything but. The deprivations of his childhood had made him moody and morose, his stepson wrote. "His tolerance of unpleasantness was minuscule. If there were the slightest hint of trouble with one of the children, or with the house, the car, the servants, the delivery of the newspaper, the lack of ice in the silver ice bucket, the colour of the candles on the dining-room table, Van immediately left the couch, the dinner table, the pool, the tennis court, the party, the restaurant, the vacation, and strode off to his bedroom."
Johnson had married Ned's mother, Eve Lynn Abbot, in 1947, only hours after she had divorced the actor Keenan Wynn, a friend of Johnson's. They had one daughter, Schuyler, but divorced in 1968, allegedly because he was having an affair with a man; Eve died in 2004.
• (Charles) Van Johnson, actor, born 25 August 1916; died 12 December 2008

The Orioles, quiet for the first six innings against Tigers starter Rick Porcello, broke out in a three-run seventh to close the homestand with a 4-2 win on Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards.
It was the second come-from-behind win in three days and sealed a series win for the O's.
After nine Major League innings in which Kevin Gausman gave up 11 earned runs and four home runs, the rookie right-hander engaged in a pitchers' duel with Porcello.
In his six-inning outing, Gausman held his own. He recorded 12 outs on the ground and four via strikeouts, including catching Miguel Cabrera looking to end the sixth. The lone blemish on his line was a Prince Fielder solo home run in the fourth. In his third career start, Gausman gave up five hits, struck out four and didn't issue a walk.
He left trailing, 1-0, but the Orioles took Gausman off the hook for the loss with a three-run seventh in which they sent eight men to the plate, and unraveled what had been a solid outing for Porcello.
Chris Davis led off the seventh with his 20th home run of the season, which broke up Porcello's 16-inning scoreless streak and brought the Orioles within one run.

Sean Pamphilon Says Drew Brees Knew Bounty Program Existed, Calls Him 'Sacred Cow'
"Drew Brees knew that this stuff existed and he's continually said that there's no evidence that the bounty existed. Then why is he on the phone with me two hours before I released the audio, and he's saying to me I wanna see your essay before this hits the wire'? He was part of it, but he pretends like he's not. And it's amazing to me that this sacred cow is allowed to walk around and acting as if he's not even involved, saying that there's no evidence. He's referencing weapons of mass destruction. Well, if there's nothing to hide and there's no evidence, then Drew, why are you calling me two hours before it's released, trying to quote-unquote shape it?"

Corsair impressed us greatly when we took its K60 mechanical keyboard for a test last month, so we were anxious to see if we'd once again be wowed with its M60 "FPS gaming mouse". From a hardware standpoint, the mouse is top-notch, but as we quickly discovered, it takes quality software to round out the entire package.
It has to be said that with nearly every peripheral I get in to review, the software is the biggest weakness, and unfortunately, this is the case with the Corsair M60. All of the Vengeance peripherals by Corsair do not come with a software CD, so you will need to download them direct from Corsair's website. At the moment, the best version you can get is the 2.12 beta driver. Yes – a beta driver, not exactly a good start.
I'll be honest here, Corsair does have a ways to go with regard to the software, more so with the K90 and M90. The M60 doesn't need the same level of software configuration as it's macro-based brethren, since the important options are DPI-based. But if you decide to delve into macros with the M60, be prepared for a number of issues – explained later.
Once installed, the interface itself is pretty and functional, keeping things on the simpler side rather than bright and gaudy. The good thing here is all the peripherals in the Vengeance range appear in a single interface (minus the K60, which has no software). So you won't have a taskbar littered with different icons for each device. You can switch between peripherals via the arrows near the top right corner.
There are three main tabs, Assign Buttons (macros), Manage Performance (DPI settings), and Manage Profiles (for storing macros on the mouse for hardware playback). Apart from macros, each is largely self-explanatory.
The performance tab will likely be your first call, since the macro features are incomplete at present. There are three DPI levels, plus the Sniper, each can be assigned independent x/y axis control. Angle Snapping (or prediction) controls whether you want the software to assist in keeping lines straight (or circles square). There are two interesting features here as well, Lift Height and Surface Quality test.
Lift Height is as its name suggests, controls at what point to stop tracking when it detects it's been lifted from the surface. There is little point dropping below 'middle', as this will likely lead to jitter on most mats. Surface Quality is a bit of a mystery to me, as what it detects as good and bad are very odd, plus I'm uncertain as to whether it makes a difference beyond a mere test. I currently use a Razer Goliathus Omega mat, which according to the surface test, scores 3/5; a glossy magazine or plastic surface scores 5/5, indicating a favor for light glossy surfaces. This is somewhat counter-intuitive compared to a lot of other sensor preferences. However, even with my mat's measly 3/5 rating, it tracks just fine.
Assign Buttons is the macro management tab, allowing you to switch button orders, record macros and toggle the lights. I will point out now that macro recording is incomplete since you cannot record mouse clicks (of any type), just keyboard keys. For the most part, this isn't a huge issue for the M60, as it doesn't have many buttons spare for programming in the first place. Buttons 4 and 5 are usually available in games anyway, leaving just the DPI switches on the top of the mouse, which are not easy to access.
Hardware playback is probably something you'll tick straight on as it saves any macro configurations directly to the mouse, which increases compatibility with games, though you are limited to the number of profiles that can be saved. This is important as any commands saved to the mouse will be reported to the game directly, rather than through the OS hardware buffer (which some games ignore, to prevent the use of software macros). The problem with the M60 is that you can only save one profile in hardware, since it has no profile switcher (you can still save multiple software profiles) – though, saving to hardware risks turning your brand new mouse into a paperweight. Wait, what?
Yeah… in the process of reviewing this mouse, testing the macro functionality, I somehow managed to disable it's surface tracking. The lights were on but nobody was home. It could detect button clicks, but no matter how far I flung it around, it wouldn't detect any movement. Thankfully, I have a number of spare mice laying around and managed to check Corsair's forum to discover I wasn't alone. There may be a bug regarding the hardware playback feature and custom DPI settings. If you manage to do the same as me, download the firmware update. This will reflash the M60 back to default and you should be able to recover it. At least it did for me.
There are other gremlins too; again, playing around with the macros, somehow the left and right buttons became inverted (despite them appearing correctly in the main interface), so I was right-clicking everything till I figured it out. Switching to the Profile page and re-uploading the profile to the mouse fixed it. So, for the time being (or until a new version of the software is released, currently the 2.12 beta) DO NOT USE MACROS, at least with the M60.
So the software is still a bit of a mess, but the hardware is fantastic. The switches used for the buttons are sharp and responsive (possibly Omron), requiring little force. The only problem was the middle mouse button being excessively firm compared to the other switches (the middle mouse on the M90 was softer but may use the same switch, possible batch variation?).
The Corsair M60 tracks on pretty much every surface I tried, including glossy plastic, so any mat will do. The aluminum frame does mean it's a little heavier than the rest, but you can shed up to 21g by removing the weights. The scroll is very precise and sharp, and quiet. The Sniper button is actually practical now and I'm slowly starting to remember it's there. Small aim adjustments become much easier when using high DPI settings.
As stated on the previous page, the Avago 9500 laser sensor didn't prove to be a problem for me personally, due in part to the higher DPI. If you are after a mouse for low DPI, just bare in mind the 9500's history of positive and negative acceleration.
The real problem lands straight on the software. Until I hit the glitch, which nearly bricked this mouse, I was ready with an Editor's Choice. Now I'm not so sure. So for the time being, I'm holding off – at least until the software matures. When an update is released, I'll revise this if I think it's safe, so keep an eye out and leave a comment in our forums.
Brilliant hardware and a fine entry for Corsair. All that's left is to polish the software.

Yesterday's announcement of operating profits up 17 per cent to pounds 42m were slightly ahead of exceptions and again it was the Flexonics tubing business that was the star performer. Profits there rose by 40 per cent with return on sales up to 11.8 per cent from 9.4 per cent the previous year.
The strategy to develop Flexonics geographically and acquisitions in the last year have included deals in California and India as well as in the UK. Since the year-end other deals have been signed in Holland, Denmark and Spain in areas such as aerospace, industrials and precision tubing.
Mr Parrish wants to build Senior into a pounds 1bn sales business by the end of the decade. While Flexonics will remain the core, it seems other under- performing businesses in the engineered products and services division may be sold if returns do not improve. Profits there fell from pounds 8.4m to pounds 3.1m due to difficult markets.
Asia may prove a happy hunting ground for acquisitions and Mr Parrish wants to the region to account for 10 per cent of group sales by the end of next year from its current 2 per cent. Mr Parrish has already made three visits to the Far East this year and has identified three or four markets for expansion. Top priorities are Japan and South Korea. With net debt of pounds 19m, representing gearing of 15 per cent, the group certainly has the fire-power for more deals of up to pounds 60m. But Mr Parrish is not worried by larger deals and may tap the market for more cash to fund them
There may be more scope to improve margins in Flexonics, though it is the other businesses, where margins are only 2 per cent, that offer the biggest opportunity.
The strong pound is a problem but Senior is not one of manufacturing's whingers, preferring to compete on the grounds of quality and service.
After their slump in 1994 Senior shares have been rising strongly from their low of 68p and reached a new high of 202p yesterday, up another 18p.
With analysts forecasting profits of pounds 50m this year, the shares trade on a forward rating of 17. That seems about right. Hold.

- //Shawn Glyde
Drum-master Glyde thinks he's made a recording back to front, first preparing five minute-ish soundtracks, rhythmic compositions, to which melody and harmony instruments and the occasional human voice were added. Rather than the drummer working to hold things together, he's prepared a template in advance, and now joins in when he feels appropriate as one of the band. The idea's not wholly novel—George Russell's "Electronic Sonata for Souls Loved by Nature" has been around for decades. Here, "Blur" sounds a little like a tape played backward, at least till Christopher Bullock's tenor solo. Jimmy Haslip's on "additional keyboards" rather than the bass guitar he plays as a third of Yellowjackets, and "Tony's Temple" sounds bright and spontaneous. "The Odd Temple" has guitar twang and evocation of darkness opening (cf. old James Bond film music—Glyde's himself reminded of Tomb Raider), synthetic strings and Megan McKeown doing a Casbah vocalise. The pop/rock flavour Glyde finds in "Blind" isn't so strong, other than the guitar loop played over his impressive drum thrash. Emerzian's soprano and Scott Dean's muted trumpet would have been better, less mechanical: but this set's by and large frisky. Do actual hands clap before the soprano enters "Water Drums", disguised somehow as melodica? Emerzian joins himself on tenor and sounds melodious. Jimmy Haslip plays bass, hands on strings. Hands meet hands again, just as hands meet keys on a tribute to the sometime fusion band "Audio Mind": Brad French's fingers included, playing trumpet ("synth"). Jason Galuten, contributor throughout, opens the closer, "Disposable Art", on (wood, strings) piano. Its name seems odd for a tune inspired by (surely not commenting on?) Weather Report's "Procession". A straight piano trio number other than Haslip's use late on of "additional" keyboards for atmosphere. Does Glyde mean he just sat there after work, listening while the others play? Why not?

A federal judge has ruled that a man who says he's psychologically dependent and addicted to an online video game can proceed with some of his lawsuit against the game's South Korean manufacturer.
Craig Smallwood says "Lineage II" left him unable to function independently in daily activities, such as getting dressed, bathing or communicating with family and friends.
Smallwood says he's spent more than 20,000 hours playing the multiplayer online role-playing game since 2004. The 51-year-old says NCSoft Corp. never warned him about the danger of game addiction.
A Honolulu law firm that represents the company had urged that the case be dismissed, but U.S. District Judge Alan Kay in his Aug. 4 ruling allowed half of the eight counts to continue.

dc.description.abstract | This study is inspired by an international school of research that is theoretically informed and empirical oriented, combining political science and organization theory. The theme of the study is the relationship between the state employees` unions and administrative policy in Norway 1980 – 2004. The unions studied are the Norwegian Federation of State Employees` Unions (Statstjenestemannskartellet, LO Stat), the bargaining cartel for state employees in the Confederation of Vocational Unions (Yrkesorganisasjonenes Sentralforbund – Seksjon stat, YS-S), and the Confederation of Academic and Professional Unions (Akademikernes Fellesorganisasjon, AF) representing people with higher education. Two questions are discussed: First, the extent to witch the unions responded to and had an impact on administrative policymaking through organized attention, participation and institutional talk. Secondly, the extent to which the results of administrative policymaking affected the unions themselves. The main focus is on the responses and activities of these organizations, which are viewed as institutions. The research questions whether the responses implied that the organizations were either active and aggressive, passive and reactive, or fellow player or opponent. The essential observation is that it would be inadequate to understand and explain the development, institutionalization and consequences of the administrative policy in the 1980s and 1990s without taking the responses of the unions into consideration. These organizations have actively affected the organizational frame, content and result of administrative policy along three dimensions, even if the political reality also were constructed through political diffusion, authorization and acceptance as a consequence of the passive responses of the unions. First, the unions have brought in a frame of interpretation that focuses on the political-democratic state in the political discourse, and emphasize political cooperation as one of several considerations. Secondly, all the unions contributed to the shaping of new and very important regulatory frames and guidelines for handling the restructuring of the state. This also included the establishment of the Norwegian Association of Public-Owned Enterprises (Arbeidsgiverforeningen NAVO). Thirdly, these organizations had a lasting focus on structural devolution. These dimensions were important in the construction of the political reality.The administrative policy also affected the unions themselves, constructing a turning point in the tension between stability and change in the new millennium. The relationship between the unions and this area of politics followed three very different lanes. LO Stat seems to be robust and stable, but might be exposed for privatisation from the inside. YS-S was dramatically changed as a result of the relationship. AF was partly wound up because of the encounter between the historical heritage, routines and inner life of that organization and properties of the policy area. Thus, the study shows great variations, both between the unions and across time. This count for the degree of impact and which dimensions they influenced, and also to what degree the administrative policy affected the unions. These variations, the visibility, degree of passiveness and active response have been discussed and explained through four varieties of institutional theory. These varieties are a routine perspective, an obligation perspective, an interpretation perspective and a strategic perspective. AF was perceived as the most passive organization, through its narrow self-understanding and routines for wage negotiations. YS-S is seen as the most obligation-oriented party, with increasing ambition as to be an important political actor. LO Stat, in turn, is viewed as the only of these organizations with strong traditions for being a political actor with access to an important political network. | en |

Member Reviews for Wild Horse Pinot Noir
Add your reviewExternal Reviews for Wild Horse Pinot Noir
Wild Horse captures the essence of Central Coast Pinot. The wine isn't especially complex or ageable, but defines the fruit and acid balance of the region. Cherries, black raspberries, root beer and spiced rum punch are the flavors, and the wine is silky and dry.
This is complex, displaying a mix of ripe cherry and raspberry flavors, with mineral and loamy earth notes that have a savory herb edge. Full-bodied, focused and long on the finish, with the right mix of acidity and tannins. Drink now through 2012.
Light and easy, and made for drinking now. Shows plenty of charm, with dry, crisp flavors of herbs, red currants, tobacco and spices, wrapped into scoury tannins.
Wild Horse, named for the Spanish mustangs that roam free east of the estate, is a consistently good wine with more than 25 years of experience. Aged in French oak, Wild Horse exhibits aromas of dried cherries, cola and aged wood with a hint of spice. Once it enters the mouth, magnificent pomegranate and Asian spice take over. This is a super food-friendly wine that goes remarkably well with fried livers, Cuban pork with black beans or pepper crusted ahi tuna with roasted eggplant. The fun is in the pairing; try your favorite dish and experience umami (Asians believe it is when all four senses come together and create a fifth sense!).
Medium-bodied, with aromas of alpine forest floor, cinnamon, clove and blackberry. On the palate, this wine displays flavors of black cherry, strawberry and kola nut with a creamy mouthfeel and elegant finish. Enjoy with your favorite grilled chicken recipe.
Our 2010 Pinot Noir has juicy cherry, pomegranate, and cranberry aromas, spicy red fruit flavors, a velvety mouth feel and a long, clean finish. texture and subtle toast notes. E cherry glaze, or grilled skirt steak.

Modeling absorption and segregation of magnesium and cadmium ions to calcite surfaces: Introducing MgCO3 and CdCO3 potential models.
, 112
4326 - 4333.
We introduce a potential model for MgCO3 and CdCO3 which reproduces experimental structural parameters and solution energies. We employed atomistic simulation techniques to model the absorption and segregation of magnesium and cadmium ions to the low-index surfaces of calcite. Both magnesium and cadmium ions absorb at the surfaces from solution. The absorption energies are surface dependent, due to distinct relaxations of the different surfaces, and ion dependent with the smaller sized magnesium ion showing larger relaxations. The absorption energies are larger for magnesium than for cadmium, mainly due to the closer coordination of the water molecules to the magnesium substituted surfaces. The cadmium ions segregate to the bulk crystal more easily than the magnesium ions which prefer to remain at the surface. However, segregation energies for both cations in second and further layers of some surfaces are positive, indicating that once a calcium carbonate layer has overgrown the substituted surface layer, segregation to the bulk is energetically possible.

Brussels, 13 June 2007
Franco Frattini, Vice-President of the Commission and Commissioner for Justice, Freedom and Security, welcomed the adoption of the common position: "For the first time, citizens and businesses all over Europe will have a speedy and affordable civil procedure at their disposal which is uniform in all Member States and in all procedural steps from the commencement of the procedure to the final enforcement of the judgement".
The common position preserves the essential features of the Commission proposal of 15 March 2005:
The procedure will apply in civil and commercial matters where the value of a claim does not exceed 2000 €. The procedure applies to pecuniary claims as well as to non-pecuniary claims.
In order to reduce costs and delays, the European Small Claims Procedure provides for several procedural simplifications, introducing standard forms to be used by the parties and the court and establishing time limits for the parties and for the court in order to simplify and speed up litigation concerning small claims.
The procedure shall be a written procedure, unless an oral hearing is considered necessary by the court. The court may hold a hearing or take evidence through a video conference or other communications technology if the technical means are available.
Moreover, the parties shall not be required to be represented by a lawyer or another legal professional and the court shall determine the means of taking evidence and the extent of the evidence necessary for its judgment under the rules applicable to the admissibility of evidence. It may admit the taking of evidence through written statements of witnesses, experts or parties.
The unsuccessful party shall bear the costs of the proceedings. However, the court shall not award costs to the successful party to the extent that they were unnecessarily incurred or disproportionate to the claim.
The judgment shall be enforceable notwithstanding any possible appeal. The provision of a security shall not be required.
Finally, the Regulation abolishes the intermediate measures to enable the recognition and enforcement of a judgement given in a European Small Claims Procedure. A judgment shall be recognised and enforced in another Member State automatically and without any possibility of opposing its recognition.The new procedure will apply from 1 January 2009.

I'm not going to edit it though, it's going to be a living, breathing example of how bad it can get and I will strive to be better than that post from now on.

ZCorp 3D Printer
Why build when you can print? ZCorp offers so-called 3D Printers that can create any object at the touch of a button, slowly building up one thin, solid layer on top of another. The machine spreads sheets of plastic composite powder onto a platform, then sprays them with a binding fluid that glues the powder into a precisely shaped solid film. The machine can build practically any solid object from the ground up, printing about one and a half vertical inches per hour. It's not cheap: Entry-level printers cost around $20,000.

MWC 15 Special
While we have yet no confirmation that the Twitter client bellow is indeed an official one from Twitter itself - it definitely looks like that it either comes from Twitter or was developed by Microsoft with Twitter's agreement. In a Windows Phone Developer Blog posting, Microsoft's Brandon Watson unveiled today, that Windows Phone Developer Tools Are final now. However, apart from announcing the final release of Microsoft's Windows Phone Developer tools, Watson unveiled quite a bit of further information. According to him, some of the biggest names in apps and games are working to bring the right mix of high quality content to Windows Phone 7.
"We've been working closely with these companies to ensure that customers find quality across the categories of apps and games about which they care. [...] I provided a few examples that demonstrate what's possible on our platform by showing near final apps for Twitter, Netflix, OpenTable, Flixster and Travelocity for the first time anywhere."
So here we go - Microsoft confirms that Twitter has worked with Microsoft to bring Twitter to Windows Phone 7.
That's still not a proof that Twitter will be pre-installed on Windows Phone nor is it yet known how deep Twitter will integrates into the Windows Phone 7 hub but at least it's an official confirmation of the 2nd Twitter client, after Seesmic unveiled its Windows Phone 7 version earlier today as well.
Cheers ~ Arne

"The Wolf I Feed", the new video from British/American grindcore pioneers NAPALM DEATH, can be seen bleow. The clip was filmed by Tim Fox (TESSERACT, SKINDRED) and incorporates perfectly the meaning of the song.
Commented NAPALM DEATH singer Mark "Barney" Greenway: "This is one of Mitch's [Harris, guitar] lyrics. It is about Armageddon ideology and the way this is used to drive populations sensitive towards religious dogma. When they can fear 'The Great Satan', that is, of course, a very powerful tool. It can be used to propagate everything from racial suspicion and superiority, to wars based around the dogmatic quest for moral purification." "The Wolf I Feed" comes off NAPALM DEATH's latest album, "Utilitarian" which sold around 2,200 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The CD debuted at No. 14 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200. NAPALM DEATH's previous album, 2009's "Time Waits For No Slave", opened with around 1,800 units to land at No. 19 on the Heatseekers chart. "Utilitarian" was released on February 27 in Europe and February 28 in North America via the band's longtime partner, Century Media Records. The cover artwork (see below) perfectly fits the album's theme and was created by the Danish artist Frode Sylthe, who is also responsible for THE HAUNTED's "rEVOLVEr" artwork.NAPALM DEATH: 'The Wolf I Feed' Video Released

Somatostatin and somatostatin analogs
What are Somatostatin and somatostatin analogs
Somatostatin is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus and some other tissues such as the pancreas and the gastrointestinal tract. It inhibits the release of growth hormone from the anterior pituitary, and insulin and glucagon from the pancreas.
Somatostatin also decreases the release of most gastrointestinal hormones and reduces gastric acid and pancreatic secretion. It can reduce abdominal blood flow therefore somatostatin analogs can be used to reduce bleeding from esophageal varices.
Somatostatin analogs are used for treatment of tumors secreting vasoactive intestinal peptide, carcinoid tumors, glucagonomas and various pituitary adenomas. It is also used to treat acromegaly (a condition in where there is oversecretion of growth hormone in an adult).

Napkin Calculator is not like other bill splitting apps. Other bill splitters will take the total amount of your bill and divide it between the number of people, this isn't always fair.
Napkin Calculator will split a bill and take into consideration that people have had different meals. This app can be used when going for a meal at a restaurant which has an offer or promotion. It will always calculate the bill fairly.
For example, if two people go for a meal, one has a salad at £7 and the other has a steak at £15. Using a buy-one-get-one-free offer the total bill would be £15, it is not fair to split this in half or the salad costs the first person £7.50. Napkin Calculator calculates a fair contribution for each person to pay based upon what they ate.
------Example Bill------
Adam: SALAD @ £7
Bob: STEAK @ £15
Adam pays: £4.77
Bob pays: £10.23
Napkin Calculator is ideal for students or anyone who seeks out a bargain for a meal out.
Napkin Calculator will work in English (UK & US), French, Spanish, Italian and German.

From the Financial Times:
Goldman Sachs, Wall Street's most bullish investment bank on oil, on Tuesday turned negative on the short-term outlook for crude, recommending investors to take profits after prices jumped this week to a record above $90 a barrel.
West Texas Intermediate crude oil fell $2.73 to $90.80 a barrel in early trading in the US, partly in response to the warning from the investment bank which has been influential on the oil market in the past with upbeat price forecasts, including one in 2005 of a "super spike" crude to $105 a barrel.
Jeffery Currie, head of commodities research at Goldman Sachs, said that oil price "downside risks" were gaining momentum and forecast a decline towards $80 a barrel in the first quarter of 2008....MORE

Apperently if I use that the select will keep returning, therefore eating up the resources.
According to this page http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-perf03174.html,
if the socket is registered with the Selector in WRITE mode, then the Selector.select() call will always return immediately, because it has at least one socket which is ready to be written to.
Now my problem, since calling register() function in a thread other than the one that calls select() will cause blocking problem. How would I write data to the channel if I can't register the channel to write state?
