Just asking.
Of course, the whole place would be a tear-down. Then you rebuild with a brand-new Safeway gro sto below and then a bunch of housing units above. It'd be like a Hayward-style transit village. See?
Just asking.
Here's is all I know about the giant sundial:
"This sundial is located in Hilltop Park in the Bayview District of San Francisco. The steel gnomon is 78 feet long."

Big, isn't it?
I don't know when this UC "campus" got built, but just look at what was in fashion back in the day:
Huge empty lawns and huge empty driveways that never get used. What were they thinking? Were these lawns a "gift" to the people of San Francisco? Were they something we wanted or appreciated paying for? IDK.
I could see this place out in the country where there's plenty of space, but I don't know what it's doing in SF.
Anyway, we'll be enjoying this campus as we walk, ride, and drive by for the next half-decade, it looks like.
And then, who knows.

Here's your before, at the corner of Market Street and the man-made disaster of Octavia "Boulevard," from just last month, April 2014, IDK, 10 days ago?
See down below, those cardboard boxes were the start of a homeless encampment that stretched north up the Boulevard:
How many people slept there each night? IDK, but there were spaces for like a dozen people.
Anyway, that was then and this is now – this is how things look today, May 1st, after the recent clean up:
See that? Homeless people be gone, replaced by "ol ol g" (DDG, for those of you who don't read Starchitect or whatever the hell that font is called) and DM DEVELOPMENT, 'cause, you know, it just wouldn't do to have those glorious names residing over where people reside.
Oh, and here's the pitch:
DM Development collaborates with visionary architects and interior designers to create remarkable living spaces that push the boundaries of design.
That's your 8 Octavia condo update. Look for the banner ads soon – it won't be long now…

Landmark tower is now 95 percent sold, with increased sales of $2+ million penthouse-level homes mimicking micro-market trends
Greater confidence in the economy, 2.0 tech boom, strong executive job growth and demand from trans-generational Asian buyers among reasons 2011 sales outperforming 2010, say experts
SAN FRANCISCO (April 20, 2011) – The high-end luxury condominium market, dormant in 2010, is coming back in a fury in 2011, with penthouse sales at One Rincon Hill leading the way, say local real estate experts.
"Luxury condos in the $2 million or more range are being snapped up in numbers not seen for the past several years," said Paul Zeger, president of Pacific Marketing Associates, the sales and marketing firm for One Rincon Hill, and condominium experts in the Bay Area for more than 30 years. "San Francisco's SoMa District is a hot micro-market, where techies want to work — and live.
"With ubiquitous brands Twitter and Zynga expanding their footprint in the City, and new start-ups popping up everywhere, their high-paid executives are flocking to SoMa where the action is," he added.
One Rincon Hill, the 64-story luxury condominium building atop San Francisco's Rincon Hill, is at the heart of that activity. Now about 95 percent sold, more than 650 people call the iconic tower home. In the year's first three months, sales activity has focused near the top: five penthouses have been sold, each at more than $2.1 million, averaging more than $1,300 per square foot. Half of the top floor is now sold out, and only eight penthouses remain available.
"The resurgence in the high-end condo market is clearly demonstrated by penthouse level sales at One Rincon Hill and The Infinity," said Patrick Barber, president of Pacific Union International, who cites penthouses that languished all last year, yet sold in 2011, including a few in the market for more than $5 million. Barber says renewed luxury demand is influenced by a combination of lower inventory and buyer confidence buoyed by greater job security and success of tech giants with large local footprints: Facebook, LinkedIn, Zynga and Salesforce.com. He also notes a new factor: the impact of The America's Cup, where visitors, volunteers and the 10 teams, each with a staff of 80 themselves, will boost both rentals and sales near the waterfront.
"The America's Cup is already a pull for new buyers at One Rincon Hill," said Ann Dykstra, sales manager at One Rincon Hill. "Views grab a premium anyway; however, several new buyers were motivated by an opportunity for front row seats to the sailing pageantry in the bay."
Dykstra says of the 376 homes in the tower, less than 25 remain — all above the 46th floor. This includes penthouse level homes with arguably the best views anywhere, and possibly the highest penthouse homes currently available in the world. Due to its location atop historic Rincon Hill, One Rincon Hill is the tallest residential tower on the West Coast (and tallest in North America outside of New York, Chicago and individual towers in Mexico City and Panama City).
Gregg Lynn, of Sotheby's International Realty and among the Bay Area's top producing realtors, cites four reasons 2011 is outperforming 2010: greater confidence in the economy, the "2.0" technology boom, strong executive job growth and continued demand from trans-generational Asian buyers.
"With the Dow above 1,200 and marching forward, overall consumer confidence with the economy has pushed buyers off the fence, with tech-execs leading the curve," said Lynn. "Tech 2.0 is well ensconced in San Francisco, and those buyers are seeing luxury condos, mainly in SoMa. What's more, many tech buyers are "long-term" confident, buying primary residences in the City, not just second homes.
Moreover, Lynn says executive job growth is the strongest in seven years, attracting substantial buyers from the East Coast and the Far East. The Asian market, primarily China, Taiwan and South Korea, is also bringing an influx of trans-generational buyers, sparked by less government restriction to overseas investment.
"These condos are often bought by Asian parents — who may or may not have current plans to reside in the property — and put in their children's names," added Lynn. "In many ways, San Francisco is catching up to a trend prevalent in Vancouver and Los Angeles, providing a surge of sales to our upper luxury condo market."
One Rincon Hill was the most successful pre-sale in San Francisco's history, as it was 90 percent reserved just two weeks after the sales center opened in 2006. Residents began moving in Feb. 2008. Available townhomes lining Harrison Street sold out in fall 2010. Currently, about two-dozen homes, all on upper floors, are available for sale and the building is on pace for a sold out and fully occupied tower in fall 2011.
About One Rincon Hill
One Rincon Hill has become one of San Francisco's most recognizable landmarks and the tallest building on the skyline, in part due to its location atop Rincon Hill, the last buildable hill in the city and the first attraction visitors see as they cross the Bay Bridge into San Francisco. Topped with a glowing weather beacon at its crown, the 64-story Phase I tower with 376 luxury condominium homes was completed in late 2008 and is now almost 95 percent occupied. A 52-story Phase II tower offering 299 homes will complete the development, which will eventually feature a total of 689 private residences, including one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes and penthouses, each with views of the City and Bay from panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and extra-large balconies, as well as 14 townhomes, a swimming pool, reflecting pool, sundeck, fitness center and an elegant parking facility with valet parking. The One Rincon Hill Sales Center is located at 489 Harrison St. #306, with on-site parking available. Open weekdays, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sat. and Sun., noon to 5 p.m. For more information, call (415) 744-8886 or visit online at www.onerinconhill.com or www.facebook.com/onerinconhill

The Relic (Pendergast #1)by Douglas Preston Lincoln Child
Just days before a massive exhibition opens at the popular New York Museum of Natural History, visitors are being savagely murdered in the museum's dark hallways and secret rooms. Autopsies indicate that the killer cannot be human. . . But the museum's directors plan to go ahead with a big bash to celebrate the new exhibition, in spite of the murders. Museum researcher Margo Green must find out who-or what-is doing the killing. But can she do it in time to stop the massacre?
El relicarioby Douglas Preston Lincoln Child
Cuando la policía encuentra dos esqueletos unidos en un abrazo en un río de Manhattan, Margo Green, conservadora del Museo de Historia Natural, es invitada a colaborar en la investigación, no solo por sus conocimientos antropológicos sino por su experiencia el año anterior cuando se enfrentó con una horrenda bestia que andaba suelta por los sótanos del museo. Los esqueletos presentan señales de violencia y unas grotescas anormalidades que apuntan a una sola cosa: el despertar de una pesadilla dormida. Al misterio de los esqueletos se suma una serie de brutales crímenes. Con la ayuda de un teniente de policía, un enigmático agente del FBI y un eminente científico, Margo indaga el origen de los asesinatos. La investigación los llevará a un pavoroso laberinto de túneles, cloacas y galerías horadado bajo Manhattan, donde se revela por fin el verdadero secreto de la Bestia del Museo.

The Third Gateby Lincoln Child
Under the direction of famed explorer Porter Stone, an archaeological team is secretly attempting to locate the tomb of an ancient pharaoh who was unlike any other in history. Stone believes he has found the burial chamber of King Narmer, the near mythical god- king who united upper and lower Egypt in 3200 B.C., and the archaeologist has reason to believe that the greatest prize of all--Narmer's crown--might be buried with him. No crown of an Egyptian king has ever been discovered, and Narmer's is the elusive "double" crown of the two Egypts, supposedly possessed of awesome powers. The dig itself is located in one of the most forbidding places on earth--the Sudd, a nearly impassable swamp in northern Sudan. Amid the nightmarish, disorienting tangle of mud and dead vegetation, a series of harrowing and inexplicable occurrences are causing people on the expedition to fear a centuries- old curse. With a monumental discovery in reach, Professor Jeremy Logan is brought onto the project to investigate. What he finds will raise new questions . . . and alarm. In the hands of master storyteller Lincoln Child, The Third Gate breaks new ground and introduces a fascinating new protagonist to the thriller world.From the Hardcover edition.

Utopiaby Lincoln Child
Fasten your seat belts-the white-knuckle thrills at Utopia, the world's most fantastic theme park, escalate to nightmare proportions in this intricately imagined techno-thriller by New York Times bestselling author Lincoln Child.Rising out of the stony canyons of Nevada, Utopia is a world on the cutting edge of technology. A theme park attracting 65,000 visitors each day, its dazzling array of robots and futuristic holograms make it a worldwide sensation. But ominous mishaps are beginning to disrupt the once flawless technology. A friendly robot goes haywire, causing panic, and a popular roller coaster malfunctions, nearly killing a teenaged rider. Dr. Andrew Warne, the brilliant computer engineer who designed much of the park's robotics, is summoned from the East Coast to get things back on track.On the day Warne arrives, however, Utopia is caught in the grip of something far more sinister. A group of ruthless criminals has infiltrated the park's computerized infrastructure, giving them complete access to all of Utopia's attractions and systems. Their communication begins with a simple and dire warning: If their demands are met, none of the 65,000 people in the park that day will ever know they were there; if not, chaos will descend, and every man, woman, and child will become a target. As one of the brains behind Utopia, Warne finds himself thrust into a role he never imagined-trying to save the lives of thousands of innocent people. And as the minutes tick away, Warne's struggle to outsmart his opponents grows ever more urgent, for his only daughter is among the unsuspecting crowds in the park.Lincoln Child evokes the technological wonders of Utopia with such skill and precision it is hard to believe the park exists only in the pages of this extraordinary book. Like Jurassic Park, Utopia sweeps readers into a make-believe world of riveting suspense, technology, and adventure.UTOPIA -- Where technology dazzles-and then turns deadly!From the Hardcover edition.

Mod note: EVO is a dual mode device and available for 3G and 4G areas on the release date.
Message was edited by: IzzyKS
EVO offers 3g network experience and where available 4G. If you do not have 4G in your area, this may not be the best phone for you.
Message was edited by: IzzyKS
i just read another post where it states it will only work on the 4g network for the first month for free. it will not be available in the 3g market yet. i called sprint and they haven't heard about this. it will be a crying shame for me to get this phone and can't use this feature.
You should of post the link to the article the forum was referring to; http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/evo-4g-on-sale-at-8am-on-june-4th-with-one-month-free-4g-mobile/
It states; """according to the official EVO 4G Launch Guide we're staring at, the mobile hotspot functionality that turns your EVO into a WiMax hotspot for up to 8 devices will initially work without paying the $29.99 monthly fee if you're happy with using it on 4G only (no 3G). Sprint expects to correct this sometime in July after which the Sprint Mobile Hotspot add-on will require activation."""
They way I understand it is, The "Hotspot" will work without the SOC code applied "IN 4G AREAS ONLY" but with the SOC code applied it will work in BOTH 3G AND 4G AREAS.

ok answer this will the hotspot work in 3g areas on the release date?
I have a side question about the hot spot feature and 3G.
If you're in a 3G area using the hot spot feature and a call comes in, does your connection drop and the call comes through or does the call go directly to voicemail? What happens to text messages?
Yes, The article clearly states WITHOUT the SOC code it will work in 4G areas, With the SOC code it will work in both. The "Loophole" is if you are planing on using it in just 4G areas you can avoid the fee untillo the loophole gets filled.
just hung up with them and yes you are right it will work on both it's just the people in 3g will and to pay the 29.99. the 4g people can pay it to make sure it works in 3g areas. or they can not pay and just use it in 4g for free (unsecured 3rd party). but they say it will be fixed by release. as for the other question if you are in a 4g area you can answer calls and stay connected. if you r in 3g calls will go to voicemail and texts will come through when you disconnect. hope that help. it's funny how i called sprint earlier and they couldn't answer that question but you call back and talk to someone else and you can get an answer. can't wait to get mine
no need to confirm i have a evo from google i/o and can confirm that 3g hotspot works like a champ!
shakui, How about receiving a call while using it as a hotspot, I'd think being a phone would/should be top priority.
Initially the hotspot will work in 4G areas without requiring the $29.99 add-on due to a glitch in the way authentication will work on the 4G network. This will be fixed shortly after release. 3G hotspot functionality will require the $29.99 add-on immediately at launch.
levi calls will only come through while using hotspot only if your using 4g. 3g calls will goto voicemail. i agree with you calls r more important. if i'm on the net now with my phone calls still come through. hope that is something they will fix for us 3g users.
This thread has run its course and now being closed. Thanks everyone for helping stomp out a bad rumor.

She started her company with revolving credit from a local development bank. She's been running her small business for close to 5 years. She just completed 23 cycles with Hekima's microloan program. It's thanks to this loan, she says, that her children can comfortably study in the local universities.
Her small amount of capital is a big challenge for her as an entrepreneur. This new loan will help her buy wheat flour, yeast, sugar, etc. The rest of the money will be used to pay for her children's schooling. She would like to grow her business.
She thanks Hekima for their support and for the empowerment of female entrepreneurs.

The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - Grading & Discussion (Spoilers)
View Single Post

Gryphons should have it so lucky
Location: Manticore
Re: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - Grading & Discussion (Spoile
This is a very mixed movie. Some parts are great (most of Laketown for example - I love the Elizabethan London + canals feel to it). Jackson did a
job with Bard too. Quite frankly, I think that he did better with Bard than Tolkien did, because IIRC Bard just shows up out of nowhere as a Deus Ex Machina to kill Smaug, and only gets fleshed out later.
Thorin continues to be amazing, as does Bilbo. Smaug was also very well-done, though I'd have preferred of more of Cumberbatch's voice came in through Smaug. There were a few bits where it still felt like Cumberbatch, but for the most part if felt generically dragon. I did have some flashbacks to the
fight in LOTRO throughout though in that gold was heavily involved, as well as a smug snake of a dragon taunting the heroes - which makes sense since Draigoch was heavily based on Smaug.
The Dol Guldur sequences were also incredibly well-done. I liked the Sauron came across as a credible threat again, in a way that he hasn't since Fellowship of the Ring (though zooming the Russian Dolls sequence got a bit laughable). Shape-shifting shadow of doom is definitely scarier than an eyeball lighthouse.
However, I
agree on the pre-elf bits in Mirkwood and with Beorn. They could have cut off a huge part of the barrel sequence to expand it and really establish the otherworldly feel of the place. I suppose that the spider fight wasn't as necessary this time around since Bilbo had already found his courage in battle, but I'd have liked to see him invisibly sneaking around and taunting them as he killed them.
Kili and Tauriel just got old fast. I prefer the quick-witted-but-naive Kili from the first movie rather than the lovestruck Kili from this one (well, at least post-Tauriel). Also, dick jokes? Really?
However, these complaints completely pale to that incredibly, insanely, utterly stupid action sequence with Smaug at the end. I'll grant you that getting to the guard tower was intelligent, and getting to the forges made a great deal of sense as well (though they should have still been charbroiled when Smaug lit them). However, everything from that point on was downright cartoonish. Bombur working the bellows by riding up and down a chain? Huge rivers of molten gold, with Thorin
sailing it in a wheelbarrow?!
And worse, given how he was running with it, this was his plan!? And the culmination was a not-before-established mold for a giant dwarf statue that was solid enough to stand for several minutes but molten enough to completely pool over the bottom of the room? And it was utterly pointless because Smaug shook off all of the gold anyway at the end?
Ugh. It doesn't ruin the movie for me, but it was the weakest point in arguably the entire saga. Second at absolute best (the skull cascade in Return of the King is the only other contender).

YOUNGSTOWN — A judge has jailed a former Poland Avenue bar owner until further notice for arriving at court wearing blue jeans in violation of the judge's previous command.
Judge R. Scott Krichbaum of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court ordered John Messer, owner of the former Riverbend Tavern, who had been free on $75,000 bond, to change into a red and white striped jail uniform before appearing at a pre-trial hearing on drug trafficking charges in the judge's chambers.
"What are you doing here improperly dressed for my court?" the judge asked Messer at the start of today's hearing.
"I'm sorry, your honor," Messer replied.
"Sorry does not pay the rent. The last time you were here, you were advised to dress properly for this court," the judge fumed. "You're contemptuous. You're making a bad mistake with me, mister," the judge added.
For the complete story, see Friday's Vindicator and Vindy.com
"You're contemptuous. You're making a bad mistake with me, mister," the judge added"
You are going to hurt this mans feelings Judge Krichbaum ! What happened to your sense of compassion that you have so generously used in the past ?
When a judge orders a defendant to do or not do something - that is a court order. Any idiot who brazenly defies a court order or a judge deserves to pay the price for being so heedless of the judge (a symbol of our justice system). As to dress codes, I suspect the patrons in the bar you reference have supported the hat ban for their own reasons. In several fraternal or social clubs, hats are removed in deference and respect to departed members. Again, a symbol of respect.
From your screen name, I would deduce that you admire or are a fan of Eminem. The lyrics of his music make the level of his respect for most things apparent. Judge Krichbaum is one of the jurists around here who doesn't take much B.S. and who will deal aggressively with criminals and other assorted miscreants. The next time you appear before him, be sure to tell him how stupid his dress code is....
Heard_it_all says "When a judge orders a defendant to do or not do something - that is a court order"
What gives the judge the authority to dictate what the defendant wears? Can he order him to get a haircut? Bath? Shave? When we start to allow pompous judges like Krichbaum to make such decisions, we start down the slippery slope of dictatorship from the bench.
If one wishes to fully exercise his/her rights, perhaps s/he should stay out of court. I hear ther's a lot more freedom when you are not committing felonies that require a 75K bond.

Quote: Rumi, on how (& how not) to find True Love.
The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
The Beloved Poet, Rumi.
"Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek & find
all the barriers within yourself
that you have built against it."
~ Rumi
Pema Chodron on opening your heart:
"The only reason we don't open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don't feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else's eyes. "
"When you open yourself to the continually changing, impermanent, dynamic nature of your own being and of reality, you increase your capacity to love and care about other people and your capacity to not be afraid. You're able to keep your eyes open, your heart open, and your mind open. And you notice when you get caught up in prejudice, bias, and aggression. You develop an enthusiasm for no longer watering those negative seeds, from now until the day you die. And, you begin to think of your life as offering endless opportunities to start to do things differently."

[…] Rumi was all of those things, and I feel encouraged and uplifted when I read his words. "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about language, ideas, even the phrase each other doesn't make any sense" […]
[…] Rumi is rumored to have said, "Out beyond our ideas of right and wrong, there is a field. I will meet you there." […]
This spoke to and from heart this morning, Waylon. Thank you for sharing this.
Rumi and Pema … could it get any better?? Thank you for this, Waylon
Total crap. I clicked it for rumi. I hope you people start writing better articles. First when I saw this website, I was impressed by the choice of topics. But looking at the quality of articles has disappointed me.
I agree the article is thin… but not crap!
The best Rumi poetry comes from Diwan-e Shams-e Tabrizi. Beautiful works. But to get the full affect you have to read it in New Persian. The most beautiful and my favourite.
This is more like a Facebook post. What is the message behind this? Are you trying to tell people they should cheat? Do you have a problem with people being committed to one another? I'm noticing this more and more on this site.
Well..if it is Waylon's article, don't expect much. He just strings together 2 or 3 lines said by somebody else. Except for his writings, I enjoy reading Elephant Journal.

Strawberry and Asparagus Salad with Tarragon
Serves 4
Spring is the best time to eat this salad, when the asparagus is tender and the strawberries are vine ripened. Recent studies show that vine-ripened fruit contains more nutrients than fruit that has been picked too early. Asparagus contains folic acid and vitamins A, C, and E, all antioxidants. A serving of strawberries contains almost a full U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamin C.
• 1 head red-leaf lettuce
• 4 large leaves of curly endive
• 1/2 cup fresh tarragon tips
• 8 asparagus spears, cooked and chopped into 2-inch pieces
• 1 pint strawberries, washed
• 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil
• 1/2 tablespoon dark sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons honey
1. Wash the red-leaf lettuce and curly endive. Pat dry, then tear into bite-sized pieces and place in a serving bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients together (if the honey is thick or crystallized, place the jar in hot water to liquefy). Toss the tarragon and asparagus with the dressing, then spoon the mixture over the greens. Top with the strawberries and sesame seeds and serve.

The point is the same as it is now - to earn the most latinum possible. I'm not saying the supply is infinite, I'm just saying it doesn't have to be unreplicable to be used as currency.
I'm surprised the Ferengi use anything as awkward as bars and bricks, anyway. Slips and strips of GPL seem easy enough to keep in a pocket, but the larger stuff isn't easily carried or stored. Why wouldn't they use mostly computerized banking?
No substance was ever explicitly described as being incapable of replicated. It's odd that so many fans latched on to the idea that latinum can't be replicated when there's no evidence of that being the case. It's just like when fans insisted that Spock must have been the first Vulcan in Starfleet, despite no character ever claiming that.
And yes,
, I know the one cent coin costs more to produce than it's worth at face value (and I expected you to point that out) but it is the exception, not the rule. It doesn't cost $2 to make a $1 bill.
You make my points for me.. If it was easy to replicate then it would have NO value. Thats the point. Do you think that if i could print $100 that could be passed that i'd bother to have a job?? Why would you.. Just print up the cash for verizon bill.
BTW last year the price for printing a Nickel was up to 11 cents. How far do you want this to go. We are now up to half.

SEATTLE, Sept. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cell Therapeutics, Inc. ("CTI") (NASDAQ and MTA: CTIC) today announced that a second independent radiology assessment of response and progression endpoint data from CTI's PIX301 clinical trial of pixantrone confirmed the statistical robustness of the PIX301 efficacy data that was previously submitted by CTI to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in CTI's new drug application ("NDA") for pixantrone.
This second independent assessment was recommended by the FDA's Office of New Drugs ("OND") as part of CTI's appeal of the Complete Response Letter ("CRL") for the NDA, which CTI received from the FDA's Office of Oncology Drug Products.
"The review conducted by a second independent panel of three radiologists confirmed the statistically and clinically significant results the first independent panel reported for the PIX301 study response and progression endpoints," noted James A. Bianco, M.D., CEO of CTI. "We now have two separate independent response assessment panels reporting significant results for complete response/complete response unconfirmed, overall response rate and progression-free survival at both end of treatment and end of study assessment periods as well as among the histologically confirmed aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma ("NHL") subset of patients. We look forward to sharing these confirmatory results with the Division of Oncology Drug Products ("DODP") in our resubmission of the pixantrone NDA."
The review and the review process was conducted based on the recommendations by OND in order to determine that efficacy had been established by confirming confidence in the endpoint ascertainment and reliability of the primary results.
Based on the results of this second independent assessment panel's review, CTI plans on resubmitting the pixantrone NDA as early as October 2011 for accelerated approval. The DODP previously confirmed that the review of the NDA would be complet

I'm an associate at sephora, male, nc40-42 Asian skin tone, and I LOVE this hilighter! A lot if the Nara blushes have the same golem sheen found in orgasm, torrid, etc, but albatross is just that golden sheen without the color! Very soft in the pan, you only need one swipe of your brush to do both cheekbones. I use my Mac 109 brush to really buff the powder into the skin and it just gives the most beautiful glow to the cheeks. Great for putting over a matte blush, hilighting browbones, or even wearing it on the cheeks alone, BEAUTIFUL

Oh my gosh. This is the highlighter i have been searching for!!! I have yellow undertones and pink toned highlighters just don't work for me. For the past 6 months I have been searching for the perfect gold highlighter that won't look muddy, won't look bronzy, won't look chalky and had a decent bit of fine shimmer (I actually like the look of very very finely milled shimmer on my cheeks, especially if they are gold shimmers since it makes my NC25 skin look like it's glowing from underneath whatever blush I have one) that's very very finely grained. After looking through the select MSFs I could get my hands on at the moment, being a huge fan of mac, I found that they almost always looked like a chalky glitter bronzer mess.
I then turned to sephora and after seeing this on youtube, I had to try it out. I was so surprised when I got to the store and saw the size of this. It is TINY. and I mean TINY. granted, you don't need that much, but still, you get double or triple the amount in MSFs for a dollar more.
I bought it anyways and I'm so glad I did because it's amazing!! It really gives a gold shimmer to the face, that's not noticeable as "oh she just put on highlighter", but very notice "oh wow she has such a gorgeous glow!". It looks natural enough for daily wear but it's very noticeable on the skin in a beautiful way. The shimmer is a pale gold and it's evenly distributed throughout the powder so you don't get the one odd glitter in some random place particle on your face. It's not glittery at ALL and it's the only highlighter I've tried in my entire life that I can use on the bridge of my nose and not look overdone. It's also a great brow bone highlight, more so than any of my other eyeshadow highlight colors.
I do have to say that if you aren't into shimmer or if you have pink toned skin, this is not for you. It you however, are yellow or beige toned with NC30 or lighter skin (this may not work as well on darker skin tones because the pale gold may look white on your skin), this is HG material. Yes the packaging is awful and dirties easily, yes this is ridiculously priced, but I love this so much that I'd give it a five anyways and i'd definately repurchase if i don't find a cheaper MSF alternative.

Well this is really expensive for what you get.... Just pearly gold shimmer. Doesn't really do much good on darker skin just looked like really light gold from a distance it looked really chalky and semi frosty. Going back to Sephora:(

I received this in swap and I never tried this in person, but I had to try it with all the hype. This is a white highlighter with a golden sheen, it is not glittery at all & the shimmer is low key and very sophisticated. Even though this was a swap, I buy a lot of NARS and know how much this costs & it is NOT expensive at all. It will take at least a year of VIGOROUS use to get through half of this & that is nothing when the cost is spread out.
I don't think it is worth all the hype, I think it is a very good highlighter, but not like this WOW. But if you want a subtle, great highlighter this is a very good one.

Great highlighter for tanned skin, it gives an amazing glow (not really dewy).
I brush it on the tops on my cheek bones, and along the bridge of my nose: looks lovely.
It looks a scary white in the pan but amazing on the skin. It comes up as a very light gold sheen. It has tiny micro gold flecks/glitter/sparkles that reflect, which I think looks gorgeous on brown skin (compared to silver glitter). The gold glitter makes the skin look warm and glowy.
The packaging is great to travel with as it comes in a small tablet, with a mirror.
The product is pretty pigmented, so I think it is great for the price. I also think it will last me a long time.
So, when I do run out, I will repurchase. Great product for tanned skin.

this is super soft in the pan so a little goes a long way. it's a golden sheen that catches the light and makes a great finishing touch when my make up is done. i apply above my cheeks up to my temples and down the bridge of my nose just to give that "fresh" face look.

I really like this highlighter! It's a beautiful colour, that shows up even on my pale skin. It golden, it's silvery, it's pinkish.. Just as a good highlighter should be. I use a fan brush, to dust it lightly over the top of my cheekbones and brow bone. It is a very nice highlighter, indeed!

There seems to be a lawsuit filed on behalf of animals every 10 minutes, but to date none of them have taken on the town of Taiji, Japan, which became infamous for its brutal dolphin roundups following the release of the Oscar-winning documentary The Cove.
This week, animal advocates from Australians for Dolphins and the Earth Island Institute's Dolphin Project and Save Japan Dolphins campaign changed that when they filed the first ever lawsuit on behalf of the dolphins who are rounded up in the cove and killed or sold for captivity every year.
In their lawsuit, they argue that the Taiji Whale Museum, which is owned by the town, has been blocking activists and Westerners from entering – in some cases based solely on appearance – in violation of the Japanese constitution, which bans discrimination.
Reuters reported that Sarah Lucas, the CEO of Australians for Dolphins and a plaintiff in the lawsuit, said that she was shown a sign saying that people against whaling were unwelcome in the museum and denied entry when she visited in February.
Their lawyer believes they can prove discrimination in court and it shouldn't be too hard, considering aquarium officials admitted as much to Reuters and the Associated Press.
"Taiji is full of activists expressing their opposition to the hunt and to keeping dolphins in captivity," Taiji Whale Museum's vice director, Tetsuo Kirihata, told Reuters. "If we let them in, they would disturb our other visitors and interfere with our business."
Disruptive or not, one of the main reasons dolphin advocates want access now is to check on Angel, a rare albino calf who made headlines after being torn from her mother's side and taken by fishermen during a violent roundup in January that drew international criticism. She is currently being kept at the museum in conditions that have been described by her advocates as deplorable.
According to a rather gut-wrenching statement, "Angel is now a highly-valuable 'freak' show on display in a tiny, filthy tank. Eyewitness's report she floats lifelessly, or swims in small distressed circles, much of the time with her eyes closed."
Footage taken by the Dolphin Project's Ric O'Barry after he entered the museum in disguise earlier this spring shows her being bullied by other dolphins in their tank, where she has nowhere to go to escape from their harassment. It's heartbreaking to think that just a few months ago she was living in the wild with her pod under the protection of her mother and that now, thanks to human greed, this is her life:
Her advocates hope that the Action for Angel lawsuit will ensure access for those who want to document her well being and the well being of dolphins in aquariums throughout Japan, according to a statement. They also believe that it will, for the first time, compel Taiji's government to defend its dolphin hunts. Still another hope is that legal action will lead to improvements in Angel's living conditions, at least with a move to an enclosure where she'll have much-needed shade and some enrichment.
Although she's no different from any other dolphin who has been taken, she stands out and has become the poster dolphin for the outrage surrounding the ongoing captures and slaughter, in addition to having become an unfortunate and constant reminder of the role the captivity industry continues to play in the brutal drives that take place in the cove every year.
Some believe that if it weren't for the profits captures continue to bring in, the hunt would have collapsed already. While the lawsuit alone might not end the dolphin drives, it will certainly continue to raise awareness and keep Taiji in the spotlight.
"Action for Angel ramps up the pressure on the Taiji government to bring an end to these inhumane hunts once and for all," said O'Barry. "The Taiji Whale Museum is the government institution at the heart of the Taiji dolphin trade."

thanks for the article.
i agree with Janice
Dolphins attacking their own. If you put Angel into a tank of her own, she will die of loneliness. This is a bad thing, either way.
Japan is an insane filthy place that hates life. Like other corrupt Asian countries, there is no room for individuals they all bow down to a militaristic evil government no different than the one in World War II when Japan mass murdered 30 million. Money for crooks is all that Japan and its Asian brothers exist for, hence the poaching crisis coming from Asian gangs. They badly need a cleaning every once in and they got that tidal wave which cleaned out the illegal whale poaching and shark finning towns, thank God for that.
She is being bullied by the others. She doesn't have a moments peace and that tank is way to small to hold all those dolphins. What a nightmare for her. I do believe they have a case but the Japanese will do and decide whatever they want to do when it is in the best "financial" interest for them.
Unfortunaly in animal world white is strange colour. Aswell my old cat tried to hit the white cat which I was shown to him. Usually white cats are deaf...but what is the reason when the peace loving cat try to attack on white cat?
Sad, very sad.....
How awful, Angel is beautiful although I'm not surprised she's being bullied by the other dolphins (she is after all different to them and likely seen as an intruder). I really do hope she get's free one day and that the plaintiff's win their case.
My blood boils at the deplorable greed of humans. Absolutely disgusting to murder such intelligent creatures, that have been declared sentient non humans in India (should be world wide). May these people suffer karma 10 fold

IBM will build and run the biometrics database behind the National Identity Register, while CSC will implement processing and enrollment systems, including online passport applications.
Reading a paper by the European Network and Information Security Agency (Enisa) last week on privacy guards in EU ID card schemes raised some interesting questions for me.The thing that jumped out, aside from the lack of encryption on the European cards, was that Enisa, a well respected security organisation, had obviously not got any response from the UK government over what privacy guards were in UK ID Cards.
The first UK identity cards have already been issued, but no police stations, border-entry points or job centres have readers for the card's biometric chip
Yep - unfortunately it seems that although the country is mortgaged to the hilt, the pound is worth about the same as it was in 1978, and job losses indicate that only PoundStretcher and McDonalds will be employing anyone by the end of the February, the government still thinks we want to hear about the benefits of ID Cards.

Iraqi Kurdistan
Political parties
The Movement for Change (Kurdish: Bizûtinewey Gorran, Kurdish: بزووتنەوەی گۆڕان) also known as Change List (Kurdish: Lîstî Gorran) or Gorran ("Change") is a Iraqi Kurdish political party[3] under the leadership of Nawshirwan Mustafa, founded in 2009 it is the official opposition to the ruling two-party coalition of the Kurdistan Democratic Party and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (Kurdistan List) which governs the Kurdistan Regional Government.
According to the BBC Gorran had "already shaken the political landscape in Kurdish areas" in March 2010.[4] Support for the Movement for Change "stems from the simple fact that it is the new, dynamic, fresh option in Kurdistan"[5] and its "calls for an end to monopoly control of power".[6] One of Gorran's main objectives is to "uproot rampant corruption".[7] The party is particularly popular with the youth of Kurdistan and campaigns against patronage.[8] It consists of a mix of (former) PUK/KDP members, Peshmerga, and academics.[9] Gorran supporters have often faced "violent intimidation".[10] Gorran have stated in The Economist that "the KDP and PUK have done a poor job of promoting the Kurds' interests at the federal parliament in Baghdad".[11] The party in the 2009 and 2010 elections "won in the city and the province of Sulaimaniyah".[12]
Iraqi Kurdistan parliamentary election, 2009[edit]
The movement's platform for the 2009 election was to de-politicise the regional government, strengthen the judiciary, limit political interference in the economy and make the budget more transparent. Supporting federalism for Iraqi Kurdistan, it said disputes with the central government could be solved through dialogue based on the Iraqi Constitution.[13]
The Change List won a total of 25 seats in the July 2009 elections,[14] making it the second-most successful list in the election after the Kurdistani List. The party viewed the election results as a huge victory.
Iraqi parliamentary election, 2010[edit]
Considered to be the main opposition to Kurdistan List, particularly in areas dominated by the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. The campaign focused on addressing what it sees as corruption undertaken by the Kurdistan Democratic Paty and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. It managed to win eight seats.
2011 Kurdish protests in Iraq[edit]
In 2011 the party called for the resignation of the Cabinet and the disbanding of the Kurdistan Regional Government during the protests in Kurdistan that followed the 2011 Egyptian protests.[15] This was accompanied by protests against the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Kurdistan Democratic Party.[16][17][18] Some[who?] have criticized the party for causing unnecessary unrest, arguing that there is no need for the Kurdish government to step down.[19] Amnesty International and the Human Rights Watch have urged the protests to be allowed and for an independent investigation into the killings to be made.[20][21][22]
Party Structure[edit]
General Coordinator[edit]
The office of the general coordinator is held by the most senior party official, it is currently held by Nawshirwan Mustafa who is the founder of the Movement for Change and Co-Founder of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan
National Assembly[edit]
The National Assembly (Jivat) which is the movements leadership body includes the general coordinator, the leaders of Gorran blocs in Iraqi and Kurdish parliaments, leaders of the different Gorran chambers, district officials and representatives who were successful in Gorran's internal elections[23]
