By STEPHEN LABATON
Published: June 29, 2001
WASHINGTON, June 28— A federal appeals court unanimously threw out a lower court's order today that the Microsoft Corporation should be broken up, although the appeals court found that the company had repeatedly abused its monopoly power in the software business.
The appeals court also sharply chastised the district judge who oversaw the Microsoft antitrust trial and removed him from any further involvement in the case because of derogatory comments he made to reporters about the company and its senior executives.
The unsigned opinion was welcomed by Microsoft, which is no longer under immediate threat of being split into two companies. The company is already preparing the release of a new version of the Windows software operating system, which has features that industry executives say could further consolidate Microsoft's dominance of the personal computer software market. [Page C1.]
But the opinion was also hailed by federal and state officials for affirming the principle that Microsoft had bullied smaller software rivals, computer makers and other large companies like the chip maker Intel, and had broken the law in ways that stifled competition.
Among other companies in the computer industry, reaction was muted, as many executives said they needed time to study the opinion.
Justice Department officials, some state attorneys general, and Microsoft executives said today that they had not decided what they would do next -- although Microsoft's chairman, William H. Gates, said he hoped the ruling might open the way to new settlement talks.
The parties now have three options:
*They can appeal to the Supreme Court.
*They can proceed to a new trial before a different district judge to consider some of the unresolved antitrust liability questions and reconsider an appropriate remedy.
*Or they can reopen settlement negotiations, which failed during the Clinton administration but which Microsoft executives hope can be rekindled with the new leadership at the Justice Department.
Ari Fleischer, the White House spokesman, said that President Bush had been told of the decision this morning and would now await guidance from the Justice Department about how to proceed.
Officials at the Justice Department said they were pleased but had not decided which avenue to pursue.
''We believe this is a significant victory in terms of the determination made by a unanimous court that Microsoft had engaged in unlawful conduct,'' Attorney General John Ashcroft said at a news conference this afternoon. ''But I'm not prepared at this time to indicate what the final outcome to be pursued on the part of the Justice Department is. We'll shape our response to the decision after we have more time to digest it.''
Executives at Microsoft, who have courted the new administration, said they were pleased by the decision.
''The sun was definitely shining today,'' Steven A. Ballmer, Microsoft's chief executive, said in a telephone conference call with reporters. ''Today's ruling goes a long way toward positively resolving this matter for Microsoft, our partners, our customers and shareholders. It lifts the breakup cloud from the company.''
Mr. Gates, the company's co-founder, expressed hopes for a settlement. ''With this ruling, there is a new framework,'' Mr. Gates said in a news conference, ''and so it would be a good time for all parties involved to sit down together and see what kind of resolution can be worked out.''
The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that Microsoft had violated Section 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act.
The company, the judges found, had illegally used its monopoly position in the personal computer operating systems market through a series of anticompetitive license restrictions and other agreements with computer makers, software vendors and Internet service providers.
But the court dismissed a central accusation by the government that Microsoft had attempted to monopolize the market for Internet browser software. And on a third count -- that the company had improperly tied its Explorer browser to its operating system -- the court said Judge Jackson had used the wrong legal standard and sent the case back down for further consideration before a different district court judge.
Without reaching a conclusion about the correct remedy, the appeals court suggested that a breakup of Microsoft would be inappropriate even if the trial judge found more evidence of antitrust violations. The court noted that a dissolution of a company found guilty of such violations was normally reserved for businesses -- unlike Microsoft -- that have grown through mergers and acquisitions.
''Divestiture is a remedy that is imposed only with great caution, in part because its long-term efficacy is rarely certain,'' the court said. ''If the court on remand is unconvinced of the causal connection between Microsoft's exclusionary conduct and the company's position in the operating systems market, it may well conclude that divestiture is not an appropriate remedy.''

Research Interests
My research interests lie in the field of behavioral ecology and, more specifically, mammalian social behavior and social organization, in which I adopt a field-oriented approach to my research. For many years, I have examined the role that ecological conditions (e.g., food resources) play in shaping the behavior patterns of animals and, in turn, a population's spatial organization.
In 1998, I began working with woodchucks, animals whose relatives are much more social than they are. Little research has been done on these animals since the 1960s and late 1980s, so a great deal remains to be learned. I am interested in the evolution of social behavior in mammals, and these animals can be used to test various ideas about why other marmot species are more social.

Route 33 is a bus route operated by the Maryland Transit Administration in Baltimore. The line currently runs from the Rogers Avenue Metro Subway Station in Northwest Baltimore to a loop in Moravia in Northeast Baltimore. Service is provided about once every 10–15 minutes during rush hour, every 20 minutes midday, every 30 minutes on Saturdays, and hourly on Sundays. The line operates primarily along the cross-town corridor of Coldspring Lane and Moravia Road, transversing Arlington, Park Heights, Roland Park, Homeland, and Montebello. The line passes several universities, including Loyola College, Notre Dame, and Morgan State University.
The first bus route to operate along Coldspring Lane was the no. 35 bus, which operated briefly from 1968 to 1969 before being discontinued. The line performed well on AM trips operating to Morgan State, and PM trips from Morgan State, but reverse trips were nearly empty, thereby leading the route to be considered a failure at the time.[2]
The no. 33 designation was previously used in Baltimore transit history for three other routes, including a streetcar that served the Arlington area, near a portion of the present Route 33.[3][4] The other routes include a streetcar route along Hudson Street that operated 1920-24, and was merged into the no. 18 streetcar (currently bus route 7,[5] and a bus that operated along Milton Street 1950-1954 that is now a part of Route 13.
The current Route 33 started operating in 1977.[6] At that time, it was introduced as an experimental service, with expectations that it would not be successful. It ran on weekdays only during rush hour and midday, and there was no evening or weekend service. Its route was from Arlington to Morgan State only.
About a year later, the line was seen as somewhat of a success. Service was extended during rush hour to the current Moravia loop, and middays to Montebello State Hospital.
The line saw no further improvements until 1986. During that year, evening and Saturday service were added. On weekdays, the line operate until 10 PM, and on Saturdays, intervals were 90 minutes, the most service allowable with a single bus.
In 1993, the line was improved again. All trips were extended to the Moravia loop, and midday service was improved from intervals of 50 to 35 minutes. Evening hours were extended to midnight, and Saturday service was doubled to intervals of 45 minutes.
In 1995, Sunday service on this line was added, though it operated only once every 90 minutes, the previous Saturday frequency.
In 2005, as part of the Greater Baltimore Bus Initiative, the line saw an unplanned extension. The original plan was to extend Route 33 to Eastpoint Mall via North Point Boulevard, and to improve the frequency. But with a public outcry in response to the elimination of certain branches on other lines, particularly a deviation on Route 35, Route 33 was extended to provide bus service in those communities. Service that was extended to Eastpoint Mall started operating via the Armistead Gardens community.[7] This resulted in a slight reduction in service frequency except on Sundays. But the frequency of service on this line, which had been proposed for an increase in the original phase of GBBI,[8] was improved in 2006.[9]
Three months later, the route was extended again about a mile to the Essex Park-and-Ride lot in order to improve efficiency in looping. An later modification shifted service from Eastern Avenue to Rolling Mill Road.
On August 30, 2009, all trips on Route 33 were shortened to the Moravia loop, and Route 24 was extended west from Middle River to replace service south of Moravia.[10]

I've got WP 3.6.1 and wp-cycle 0.1.13 on a 64-bit linux (Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS). Today I uploaded a couple of images to wp-cycle. The images appeared to upload correctly, but they don't show in the slideshow.
I'm guessing the images were too large to display properly. This would be OK, as I can easily scale the images, but there now seems to be a hiatus in the slideshow at the end of the cycle, i.e., as if wp-cycle is showing a couple of blank images. (There is a blank display for about three of the usual cycle times after the last picture in the show has displayed and before the show cycles back to the first picture.)
Is there some way to confirm/deny that wp-cycle is "displaying" the blank images? And, if it, is there a way to remove the images? They don't appear on the usual wp-cycle Settings page, so I can't delete them in the usual way.

Vanessa Hudgens in Designer Jeans
Vanessa Hudgens in One Teaspoon Thrashed Freebird Jeans in Pure
Photographed while out and about in New York City, Vanessa Hudgens wore a pair of One Teaspoon Thrashed Freebird jeans in Pure, with a blush cropped sweater and silk blouse with a coat on her shoulders.
It's been a long time since we've seen Vanessa out in One Teaspoon! We've seen her in both the shorts and the jeans before, but not recently. I do really like how she styled these jeans, I think the nude/blush tones look really nice with the white and give the whole look a lady-like vibe. Buy One Teaspoon online at Shopbop.com.

Vanessa Hudgens in a Denim Jacket
We've seen quite a lot of photos of Vanessa Hudgens now that she's spending time in NYC for her play, Gigi. Most recently, she was photographed while out walking her dog. She wore a light wash denim jacket over a black midi dress and silver sandals.
This jacket has a bit more of an oversize fit but I think it looks great on Vanessa and doesn't overwhelm her small frame at all. I also think the light wash paired with the darker black dress looks really nice together and they complement each other really well.
Vanessa Hudgens in Free People The High Rise Roller in Cane Blue
How gorgeous does Vanessa Hudgens look here? That was my first thought as I saw these photos of her arriving for her play 'Gigi' in New York City. I'm so used to seeing her in more boho outfits and baggy clothes now that it's nice to see a return to her old looks.
Vanessa wore a pair of Free People The High Rise Roller Jeans in Cane Blue, pairing them with a cropped top, a navy blazer, some grey heels and a scarf. I think she looks so sophisticated and put together! It reminds me of some similar outfits of hers years ago when she used to date Zac Efron. Do you like this look on Vanessa? Buy these jeans online at Free People.

Vanessa Hudgens in J Brand 811 Skinny Jeans in Vanity
Vanessa Hudgens was spotted heading to her car after leaving her hotel in New York. The actress wore a pair of the J Brand 820 in Vanity with some Yosi Samra boots and an Elliott Label leather jacket layered over a denim shirt.
We haven't spotted Vanessa out in J Brand for quite some time now. We used to catch her exclusively in their 910 style all the time and they were a style that I always found to be a great cut on her. I wonder if we will be seeing her in the brand more again? I would love to see her wear their Photo Ready Cropped in Mercy. You can click here to purchase this style from SHOPBOP for $185.

I have access to a cluster that uses 'torque' (I think) and we use PBS scripts to submit jobs. I need to run more then 200 instances of an app that I've developed in java. The app acts as a peer forming a P2P network, which means that those instances communicate with each other through sockets.
I was able to do my tests with 100 instances running on a single node on the cluster, but when running 200 instances on a single node it doesn't work, and I can't ask for more resources (mem, cores, etc.)
My question is: should I do this the way I'm doing it? With a serial script in which I start all my instances one by one sending them to the background and then wait for them?
Could this be accomplished with a parallel script in which I could ask for 2 nodes and instantiate 100 instances of my app in each node? In this case, I have some other questions: How can I do it? and is there any guarantee that both jobs run at the same time? All 200 instances must be running at the same time.
- To form the P2P network at least one peer IP address must be known in a serial job, I can get the node IP address in the script and pass it as a parameter to the app, but in a parallel job with 2 nodes how can I do this?
This is part of the script that I'm currently using...
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=4
#PBS -l pmem=6GB
#PBS -l walltime=00:20:00
IP=`/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet ' | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/addr://'`
java -jar $JAR $JAR_PARAMS -ip=$IP -port=$PORT_PEER & # first peer, others connect to this one..
for i in {1..99}
PORT_PEER=`expr $PORT_PEER + 2`;
java -jar $JAR $JAR_PARAMS -ip=$IP -port=$PORT_PEER -bootstrap=$IP:3000 &
sleep 1s
wait # wait here until all instances terminates

WASHINGTON (July 16, 2013)--Vigils and rallies will be held in 100 cities across the U.S. this weekend to press for federal civil rights charges against George Zimmerman, who was acquitted in the shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla.
The verdict touched off protests around the country.
The Rev. Al Sharpton announced the plan Tuesday at a news conference outside the Justice Department with several ministers, but did not say in which cities rallies and vigils will be staged at federal buildings Saturday.
The U.S. Justice Department is investigating whether Zimmerman violated Martin's civil rights when he shot the 17-year-old during a confrontation in February 2012 in Sanford.
Zimmerman said he fired his gun in self-defense.
A six-member jury acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges.

National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Director Letitia Long will be replaced by Deputy Director of National Intelligence Robert Cardillo when she retires later this year.
Deputy Director of National Intelligence Robert Cardillo will head the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency starting in October, the Defense Department announced June 2. Outgoing NGA Director Letitia Long will retire later this year.
Cardillo has been deputy DNI for intelligence integration since September 2010, when the position was established. He has also held top posts in the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Since Long took over at NGA in August 2010, the agency moved from "providing static products, such as maps," to offering geospatial intelligence in varied formats to "users on all security domains," the Pentagon said in a statement.
Federal 100: Leticia Long
Why maps matter
Long: NGA is moving toward 'immersive intelligence'
The Map of the World, a visual mix of intelligence from top-secret, classified and unclassified networks, is perhaps the agency's prime geospatial tool. Capabilities like that make NGA the intelligence agency best suited to turn big data into actionable intelligence, Long told FCW in April.
"Tish Long and Robert Cardillo both have led the transformation of intelligence to address the complex global strategic challenges we face as a nation," Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence Michael Vickers said in a statement. Long once held Vickers's job, and has also served as deputy director of DIA and of Naval Intelligence, and as executive director of what is now the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).
In a message to NGA staff, Long called Cardillo "a truly distinguished intelligence professional who knows the intelligence community, NGA and many of our employees well," according to a DOD statement.

My Diana+ 110mm Soft Telephoto lens didn't come with an "accessory viewfinder." Where can I get one?
The telephoto viewfinder is slightly tricky in this way: the part that fits over your regular Diana+ viewfinder IS the telephoto viewfinder. Just fit it over the regular viewfinder, and look through where you normally would on the Diana F+.
The Telephoto Lens box was labeled wrong, which is our mistake, and is noted on the lens product page. There are not three pieces in the box, just the two you have – the viewfinder mount, and the lens itself. The part where you'd think you'd need another piece (the "accessory viewfinder") is for use with our other Diana+ lenses/viewfinders, just so you don't have to carry around four viewfinder mounts for the four different lenses.
So, in this way, you're all set if you decide to get a new lens for your Diana F+!

AEI's Kenneth Green Pulls a Charlie Sheen, Plays "Socialist" Card in Exchange With Chris Mooney
The American Enterprise Institute's Kenneth Green is vying to be the Charlie Sheen of the denial crowd. He said in a 2008 speech, "For the last decade, warming peaked, and has recently declined: we're back to the average temperatures that prevailed in 1978." Not. Not even close.
He also said "No matter what you've been told, the technology to significantly reduce emissions is decades away and extremely costly." Not (see World's Engineers: "The Technology Needed to Cut the World's Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 85% by 2050 Already Exists").
But in some sense that's all standard denier fare. Green went the full Sheen in reply to a recent Chris Mooney column on how "Today's Right is Overwhelmingly More Anti-Science Than Today's Left."
Sheen Green wrote "Obama's science team is composed almost exclusively of environmental radicals" (!) and he even played the "card-carrying socialist" card.
What follows is Mooney taking the sheen off of Green at Science Progress:
The Debate Over Left-Right Science Abuse Turns … Emotional
By Chris Mooney
On Tuesday, I posted a long and widely read piece at DeSmogBlog dismantling the claim that there is anything "equivalent" about science abuse on the left and the right today. For some, this seems to have been a pretty powerful statement. And thus my friend Phil Plait, who I'll be glad to see at CSICON in New Orleans next month, weighed in and said:
This is one of the most important political articles I've read in quite some time. Chris lays out the political reality of antireality in a stark way. The article is frustrating and infuriating, because it shows just how the right's leaders have lost their grip on reality, and is a grim reminder of just how important the elections next year are.
But my article prompted precisely the opposite reaction from the person it was most directly criticizing–Kenneth Green of the American Enterprise Institute. He didn't respond very favorably, perhaps because I showed a quotation of his from 2003 that seemed to undermine his claim to support mainstream climate science.
Green accused me of "uninspired personal attacks," though I am not aware of making any. Pointing out what Green said in 2003 is not a personal attack. I've written tons of things in the past–including some I don't agree with any longer. It's fine to point that stuff out.
If there was something about my tone that offended Green, though, I do want to apologize for that. I wrote with zest, to be sure. But I certainly did not intend any personal attacks.
In any case, to rebut me, Green really unleashed:
Let's take the first one. Mooney says: "On the left, we eat alive our own allies when they make false claims. That's precisely what happened on vaccines and autism."
This is actually comedy-club material when you consider that the Left still worships at the altars of Rachel Carson, Paul Ehrlich, Al Gore, and David Suzuki, who have declared the End of Days virtually every day for 40 years now. White House Science Advisor John Holdren is infamous for his extreme doomsday views and solutions, while Gore, who has a climate-footprint larger than some entire countries, just held a Climaggedon Telethon and still gets around $150K per speech from Left-leaning audiences pining for his non-existent presidency.
We get some emotion-laden phrases here: "worships at the altars," "extreme doomsday views," "Climageddon Telethon," "pining for his non-existent presidency…" We do not get a rebuttal. And FYI: The notion that I worship at the altars of Carson and Ehrlich, when I was born in 1977, strikes me as deeply weird and disorienting.
But it continues:
On to the third argument, that only the anti-science types on the right are associated with the major political parties. Mooney says: "But the fringes aren't very relevant—unless the inmates are running the asylum. That's what you have today on the right, where Republicans and Tea Partiers overwhelmingly reject mainstream knowledge in key areas and these views are also endorsed by elected representatives and even presidential candidates."
So let's see who is running the asylum under Obama. As I pointed out in 2009, Obama's science team is composed almost exclusively of environmental radicals, and until recently, Carol Browner, Gore's disciple (and yes, a card-carrying socialist), was part of Obama's team as well. Her disciple, Lisa Jackson, has unleashed an unprecedented tidal surge of environmental regulations into the teeth of an economic downturn second only to the Great Depression. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, apparently, has nightmares about hydrocarbons, but was apparently firmly behind funding Solyndra, the solar-cell manufacturer that just ate half-a-billion dollars in tax subsidies. Big checkbooks in the asylum, these days.
This is even more extraordinary, Again, it's off point. Even if everyone in the Obama administration was a Bolshevik [they're not, of course; rebuttal to this Browner stuff here], that would do nothing to strengthen Green's case, since he does not show a single instance of science abuse. The fact is that the science the administration wants to use to make policy on climate is widely accepted science.
Keith Kloor is particularly shocked by Green's tone in this passage–but should he be?
Motivated reasoning theory tells us that when phrases like "card-carrying socialist," "unprecedented tidal surge of environmental regulations," "environmental radicals," and "nightmares about hydrocarbons" are used, we're no longer engaged in a dialogue. If I now proceed to refute Green again, I'll just be feeding a cycle of polarization. If one is interested in having a real exchange, it is far better to step back. Otherwise, we'll just be acting like Congress acts–unable to find any common ground.
So I'll say again to Green: I'm sorry if you saw a personal attack in what I wrote. That was not intended. However, I do not find your rebuttals persuasive or, really, on point (on the Christian right, you've just ignored all the evidence I produced). And a lot of people, like Phil Plait, find my arguments pretty persuasive. Soooo…don't you think there can be something more like common ground here? I'm not saying the left is innocent–just that it doesn't really compare right now to the right.
I propose we slice it this way. Let's just focus on presidential candidates, the people the parties put forward to represent them. Most GOP candidates today reject evolution and climate science. Do you know of President Obama rejecting anything in science as well established as these two bodies of knowledge? I certainly do not.
— Chris Mooney

This is absolutely true: "Reality has a well-known liberal bias" so conservatives have rejected reality and substituted one of their own making. It is astonishingly shocking but the truth of this is obvious by the way they constantly overreact to criticism. They know the obvious truth that their positions are completely unsupported harebrained theories and conspiracy nonsense. That is why they whine about being quoted and make off-point rebuttals using highly charged language.
Green gives himself away completely here. His objections are not to Obama administration scientific beliefs, or to the administration's use of science. He just doesn't like the policies. He doesn't say why, he just hurls invective. Res ipsa loquitur. The reason Republicans deny scientific truth is because it would argue against their preferred policies. Well, it is what it is.
"On the left, we eat alive our own allies when they make false claims. That's precisely what happened on vaccines and autism."
Wasn't it Michelle Bachmann who said in a debate that a vaccine caused mental retardation? This is not even a good example of science denial on the left, since we see a good amount of it from the right on the subject of vaccines. I don't think I have ever heard of a leading Democratic politician making any such vaccine claims. This issue is more confined to the fringes on left.
Chris, Joe, et al.,
Why are you guys engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the likes of Green? Should you ever manage to prove him wrong in the eyes of the deniers (impossible), there are 1000s more just like him in the tail of the low morality & intellect distribution. And, obviously, there are hordes of people willing to give them cash and a megaphone.
What you really need to do is bombard the faux ivory tower of these money-laundering operations (aka "think" tanks) themselves. Screw the foot soldiers; focus on their citadel. This needs to be a sustained, coordinated campaign to put them on the defensive, since that's been their (rather effective) battle plan against liberals/science/reality for decades.
AEI, in particular, has engaged in a decades-long campaign against environmental and public health regulations. And a treasure-trove of documents with AEI, Cato, Heritage, etc. letterhead revealing how they operate fell into the public domain years ago:
As part of the government's settlement against the tobacco companies, they had to hand over tons of documents detailing their "smoking doesn't cause cancer" denier campaign. UCSF now has a searchable public database of these, and many of them have absolutely nothing to do with smoking. Rather, they are sales pitches from AEI and their ilk to an industry with deep pockets and a grudge against epidemiology and science.
A certain AEI "scholar" (gag me) named Roger Bate cooked up a campaign to dismiss concerns about DDT, tar Rachael Carson, and undercut the foundations of modern environmentalism. Back in the mid 1990's, there he is hitting up Phillip Morris to pay for it. And R.J. Reynolds. And prostituting his skills to British American Tobacco (BAT) for only 800 pounds sterling per day.
I've culled a few of the gems and would be happy to provide them to you or anyone willing and able to lob them in the right direction. Progressives have been totally inept at leveraging these; I guarantee you that right-wing operatives wouldn't make the same mistake.
Keep up the good fight.
Chris F.
Indeed. It really frosts my pumpkin when people try to assign antivax nuttery and quack medicine to "the left." It has nothing to do with liberalism or leftism or the Democratic party. I haven't seen any polls on the subject but a lot of those people are Christian conservatives and Ron Paul type libertarians.
I don't accept the term "Christian Conservative". As far as I'm concerned, those are two words are mutually exclusive.
Yes! "Doubt is our product" and we are encouraged to doubt ourselves and each other as much as possible, and take infinite pains acknowledging each dot and cross on i's and t's while ignoring the big picture.
I've known from an early age that some people are morally insane. It's the best definition of evil I've ever encountered. As I grew older I realised that those most in thrall to money and the urge to dominate others, to push them around, bully and intimidate them, were diseased in mind and soul. And these people are the Right. The Right has destroyed the planet and devastated humanity, in pursuit of money and power. The only difference with the situation today is that the global system that the Right has created is collapsing, and taking humanity with it. That the Right is fighting against truth, science, rationality and human decency surprises me not one iota-I would expect nothing other from them. And, believe me, it will get a lot nastier yet, because they draw on literally unbounded reservoirs of viciousness and maliciousness.

We propose a novel density evolution approach to analyze the iterative decoding algorithms of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and product codes, based on Gaussian densities. Namely, for these classes of codes we derive a one-dimensional (1D) map whose iterates directly represent the error probability both for the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and the Rayleigh-fading channel. These simple models allow a qualitative analysis of the nonlinear dynamics of the decoding algorithm. As an application, we compute the decoding thresholds and show that they are consistent with the simulation results available in the literature.

Via Seattlest…
Jonah Goldbergright-wing commentator and big, fat, doughy idiotvisited Seattle recently and had this to say on the National Review's group blog, The Corner:I'm heading back to DC in a few hours. I always have such mixed feelings about Seattle. On the one hand, there's a lot to like about this town and this region. It's my kind of weather, my kind of food, etc. But I'm always amazed at how pre-Giuliani so much of the downtown is. I'm baffled at how the business community and the tourist industry can cave to the drug-addict romanticizers and panhandler enablers. There is so much skeeviness and bummery going on right at the heart of why people come to this town in the first place. And, it's not just to prey on the tourists, there are half-way houses, methadone clinics, etc all near Pike's. I don't folllow Seattle politics so I don't know how the arguments play out, but I'd have to guess there are West Coast versions of the same jackasses who thought drug dealing, transvestite hookers, and robbery were what gave Times Square its authenticity and "charm."
All I can say is, gee, you should've seen the place before the anti-panhandling law was passed, before the anti-sitting-on-the-sidewalk law, the anti-public urination lawbasically the whole package of Sidran-era "civility" laws that criminalized butsurprise!failed to eradicate drug abuse, homelessness, hookers, etc. And the presence of so many social services downtown? All those half-way houses, methadone clinics, etc., "near Pike's"? It's the result of Republican and Democratic anti-urbanism, Jonah. That sort of stuff was dumped in the center of cities to spare residential neighborhoods and suburban areas from having to shoulder their fair share of social service infrastructure.
But, whatever. Snobs and elitists like Goldberg wage war on the inner city for decades, allowing urban areas to rot, and then complain when they drop in for a visit and have to step over the homeless that their social neglect helped to create. But, again, whatever. I don't expect Goldberg to have a conscience. You would think, though, that someone from the East Coast wouldn't be such a pussy about a few tranny hookers and drug addicts. I mean, if Jonah thinks Seattle is bad, he should go hang out in Portland sometime.

PALM COAST -- There are memories and then there are nightmares. Kenneth Ferrie has given up trying to decipher the two.
"No, I couldn't believe it," Ferrie said. "No, I'm not going to tell you what happened. At the end of the day it was two and a half years ago, ancient history."
Ferrie finds himself confronted with this issue, even after firing the day's best round of 5-under 67 Saturday at the Ginn sur Mer Classic. That pulled him to within one-shot of leader Michael Letzig heading into the final round at the Conservatory Golf Course at the Ocean Hammock Resort.
He is tied with Ryan Palmer, the second-round leader, who bogeyed three of his last four holes, and seven-time Tour winner John Huston.
This is something he can't escape.
The 2006 U.S. Open at Winged Foot might best be remembered by a near-legendary meltdown by Phil Mickelson.
To refresh, Lefty was one stroke ahead of Geoff Ogilvy going into the 18th hole. Mickelson double bogeyed in heartbreaking fashion and lost.
What is forgotten in the story, however, is the man sitting next to Mickelson. Ferrie was co-leader heading into the final round and transformed from no-name darling into yesterday's news in just 18 holes. He shot a 6-over 76 and ended tied for sixth.
In reality, he's never recovered.
Ferrie was 167th on the European money list in 2007. The native of Newcastle, England came to the U.S. this year hoping to jump start his career. It started well, with Ferrie finishing 14th in grueling qualifying school.
Since qualifying for the Tour, things have gone south.
Ferrie has made the cut in just 11 of 23 events and currently ranks 186th. Due to overseas wins, he retains exemptions to play in Europe. But right now, he's fighting for his career in America.
"I wanted to come (to America) and see what it would be like," Ferrie said. "It's been a strange year."
Ferrie lamented how difficult it's been to fall from grace so quickly.
"It's very frustrating to go from one extreme to the other," he said.
"I've gone from, I think at one point just after the U.S. Open in 2006, I think I was ranked 51 in the world. And I think at the minute I don't even know whether the world rankings go low enough to keep me on it."
Frustrating could be the word of the day for many players at the Ginn sur Mer. Palmer was coasting, up three strokes at 9 under with just four left to play. He fell apart, highlighted by a second shot into the water on the 18th.
"I really had a chance to move ahead," Palmer said. "No one had run away with it. I was the closest to doing it and it didn't happen."
Just hanging around turned out to be good enough on a blustery day. Letzig was a few words short of shocked that he was leading heading into the final round, but was pleased nonetheless.
"I know that," Letzig said when told he was leading. "But, I don't know, I don't try to watch it. You notice it, but you kind of just see it and it doesn't matter."
Letzig was the co-leader after the first round, but fired a 74 to fall back on Friday. He had a rocky round that included six birdies and four bogeys. The 2-under 70 catapulted him ahead.
It should be anyone's guess what happens today. Letzig has never led after 54 holes. In fact, five of the top-10 golfers have never finished first in an event.
The only player with any significant experience in the winner's circle is Huston, who has seven total victories, five of which have come in the state of Florida. Robert Allenby, who is tied for seventh at 1 over, ranks 12th on the money list, but hasn't won since 2001.
Today's action will tee off early due to expected weather issues.
The first group will go out at 7 a.m. and leaders will tee off at 9.

PARIS, TX -- On Monday the Paris city council approved a $5.5 million plan to extend infrastructure to the Southeast part of town near the airport.
In September, over 20 residents near the Cox Field Airport asked to be disannexed from the city. The area was annexed in 1999, when city officials promised to bring utilities to the area.
On Monday, the council voted six to one to use part of the part of the $45-million bond, approved in May, to extend water and sewer lines to 49 residents and the airport.
The city will now be taking bids for the project.

Single-Dose Drug Decreases Bone Loss in Newly Treated HIV »
"Just one dose of zoledronic acid given at the start of antiretroviral therapy (ART) may prevent ART-associated bone loss during the first 48 weeks of therapy, according to a study published online May 18 in Clinical Infectious Diseases."...
Read the Single-Dose Drug Decreases Bone Loss in Newly Treated HIV article »
Lactic Acidosis And Severe Hepatomegaly With Steatosis
Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatal cases, have been reported with the use of nucleoside analogues and other antiretrovirals. A majority of these cases have been in women. Obesity and prolonged nucleoside exposure may be risk factors. Caution should be exercised when administering EPIVIR to any patient with known risk factors for liver disease; however, cases also have been reported in patients with no known risk factors. Treatment with EPIVIR should be suspended in any patient who develops clinical or laboratory findings suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity (which may include hepatomegaly and steatosis even in the absence of marked transaminase elevations).
Patients With Hepatitis B Virus Co-infection
Posttreatment Exacerbations of Hepatitis
Clinical and laboratory evidence of exacerbations of hepatitis have occurred after discontinuation of lamivudine. These exacerbations have been detected primarily by serum ALT elevations in addition to re-emergence of HBV DNA. Although most events appear to have been self-limited, fatalities have been reported in some cases. Similar events have been reported from postmarketing experience after changes from lamivudine-containing HIV-1 treatment regimens to non-lamivudine-containing regimens in patients infected with both HIV-1 and HBV. The causal relationship to discontinuation of lamivudine treatment is unknown. Patients should be closely monitored with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months after stopping treatment.
Important Differences among Lamivudine-containing Products
EPIVIR tablets and oral solution contain a higher dose of the same active ingredient (lamivudine) than EPIVIR-HBV tablets and EPIVIR-HBV oral solution. EPIVIR-HBV was developed for patients with chronic hepatitis B. The formulation and dosage of lamivudine in EPIVIR-HBV are not appropriate for patients co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV. Safety and efficacy of lamivudine have not been established for treatment of chronic hepatitis B in patients co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV. If treatment with EPIVIR-HBV is prescribed for chronic hepatitis B for a patient with unrecognized or untreated HIV-1 infection, rapid emergence of HIV-1 resistance is likely to result because of the subtherapeutic dose and the inappropriateness of monotherapy HIV-1 treatment. If a decision is made to administer lamivudine to patients co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV, EPIVIR tablets, EPIVIR oral solution, or another product containing the higher dose of lamivudine should be used as part of an appropriate combination regimen.
Emergence of Lamivudine-resistant HBV
Safety and efficacy of lamivudine have not been established for treatment of chronic hepatitis B in subjects dually infected with HIV-1 and HBV (see full prescribing information for EPIVIR-HBV). Emergence of hepatitis B virus variants associated with resistance to lamivudine has also been reported in HIV-1-infected subjects who have received lamivudine-containing antiretroviral regimens in the presence of concurrent infection with hepatitis B virus.
Related Products That Are Not Recommended
EPIVIR is one of multiple lamivudine-containing products. Concomitant administration of EPIVIR with other products containing lamivudine is not recommended. Concomitant use of EPIVIR with emtricitabine-containing products is also not recommended.
Use With Interferon-And Ribavirin-based Regimens
In vitro studies have shown ribavirin can reduce the phosphorylation of pyrimidine nucleoside analogues such as lamivudine. Although no evidence of a pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic interaction (e.g., loss of HIV-1/HCV virologic suppression) was seen when ribavirin was coadministered with lamivudine in HIV-1/HCV co-infected patients [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY], hepatic decompensation (some fatal) has occurred in HIV-1/HCV co-infected patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy for HIV-1 and interferon alfa with or without ribavirin. Patients receiving interferon alfa with or without ribavirin and EPIVIR should be closely monitored for treatment-associated toxicities, especially hepatic decompensation. Discontinuation of EPIVIR should be considered as medically appropriate. Dose reduction or discontinuation of interferon alfa, ribavirin, or both should also be considered if worsening clinical toxicities are observed, including hepatic decompensation (e.g., Child-Pugh greater than 6). See the full prescribing information for interferon and ribavirin.
In pediatric patients with a history of prior antiretroviral nucleoside exposure, a history of pancreatitis, or other significant risk factors for the development of pancreatitis, EPIVIR should be used with caution. Treatment with EPIVIR should be stopped immediately if clinical signs, symptoms, or laboratory abnormalities suggestive of pancreatitis occur [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].
Immune Reconstitution Syndrome
Immune reconstitution syndrome has been reported in patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy, including EPIVIR. During the initial phase of combination antiretroviral treatment, patients whose immune systems respond may develop an inflammatory response to indolent or residual opportunistic infections (such as Mycobacterium avium infection, cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia [PCP], or tuberculosis), which may necessitate further evaluation and treatment.
Autoimmune disorders (such as Graves' disease, polymyositis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome) have also been reported to occur in the setting of immune reconstitution, however, the time to onset is more variable, and can occur many months after initiation of treatment.
Fat Redistribution
Redistribution/accumulation of body fat including central obesity, dorsocervical fat enlargement (buffalo hump), peripheral wasting, facial wasting, breast enlargement, and "cushingoid appearance" have been observed in patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. The mechanism and long-term consequences of these events are currently unknown. A causal relationship has not been established.
Patient Counseling Information
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (PATIENT INFORMATION).
Lactic Acidosis/Hepatomegaly
Inform patients that some HIV medicines, including EPIVIR, can cause a rare, but serious condition called lactic acidosis with liver enlargement (hepatomegaly) [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Patients with Hepatitis B or C Co-infection
Inform patients co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV that deterioration of liver disease has occurred in some cases when treatment with lamivudine was discontinued. Advise patients to discuss any changes in regimen with their physician [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Inform patients with HIV-1/HCV co-infection that hepatic decompensation (some fatal) has occurred in HIV-1/HCV co-infected patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy for HIV-1 and interferon alfa with or without ribavirin [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Differences in Formulations of EPIVIR
Advise patients that EPIVIR tablets and oral solution contain a higher dose of the same active ingredient (lamivudine) as EPIVIR-HBV tablets and oral solution. If a decision is made to include lamivudine in the HIV-1 treatment regimen of a patient co-infected with HIV-1 and HBV, the formulation and dosage of lamivudine in EPIVIR (not EPIVIR-HBV) should be used [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Related Products that are Not Recommended
Inform patients that they should not take EPIVIR with ATRIPLA®, COMBIVIR® , COMPLERA®, DUTREBIS™, EMTRIVA®, EPIVIR-HBV, EPZICOM®, STRIBILD® , TRIUMEQ®, TRIZIVIR®, or TRUVADA®.
Risk of Pancreatitis
Advise parents or guardians to monitor pediatric patients for signs and symptoms of pancreatitis [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Immune Reconstitution Syndrome
In some patients with advanced HIV infection, signs and symptoms of inflammation from previous infections may occur soon after anti-HIV treatment is started. It is believed that these symptoms are due to an improvement in the body's immune response, enabling the body to fight infections that may have been present with no obvious symptoms. Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider immediately of any symptoms of infection [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Redistribution/Accumulation of Body Fat
Inform patients that redistribution or accumulation of body fat may occur in patients receiving antiretroviral therapy and that the cause and long-term health effects of these conditions are not known at this time [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Sucrose Content of EPIVIR Oral Solution
Advise diabetic patients that each 15-mL dose of EPIVIR oral solution contains 3 grams of sucrose (1 mL = 200 mg of sucrose) [see DESCRIPTION].
Information about HIV-1 Infection
EPIVIR is not a cure for HIV-1 infection and patients may continue to experience illnesses associated with HIV-1 infection, including opportunistic infections. Patients must remain on continuous HIV therapy to control HIV-1 infection and decrease HIV-related illness. Patients should be told that sustained decreases in plasma HIV-1 RNA have been associated with a reduced risk of progression to AIDS and death.
Advise patients to remain under the care of a physician when using EPIVIR. Advise patients to take all HIV medications exactly as prescribed. Advise patients to avoid doing things that can spread HIV-1 infection to others.
Advise patients not to re-use or share needles or other injection equipment.
Advise patients not to share personal items that can have blood or body fluids on them, like toothbrushes and razor blades.
Advise patients to always practice safer sex by using a latex or polyurethane condom to lower the chance of sexual contact with semen, vaginal secretions, or blood.
Female patients should be advised not to breastfeed. Mothers with HIV-1 should not breastfeed because HIV-1 can be passed to the baby in the breast milk.
Instruct patients that if they miss a dose of EPIVIR, they should take it as soon as they remember. Patients should not double their next dose or take more than the prescribed dose. If they are not sure about their dosing, they should call their healthcare provider.
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility
Long-term carcinogenicity studies with lamivudine in mice and rats showed no evidence of carcinogenic potential at exposures up to 10 times (mice) and 58 times (rats) the human exposures at the recommended dose of 300 mg.
Lamivudine was mutagenic in an L5178Y mouse lymphoma assay and clastogenic in a cytogenetic assay using cultured human lymphocytes. Lamivudine was not mutagenic in a microbial mutagenicity assay, in an in vitro cell transformation assay, in a rat micronucleus test, in a rat bone marrow cytogenetic assay, and in an assay for unscheduled DNA synthesis in rat liver. Lamivudine showed no evidence of in vivo genotoxic activity in the rat at oral doses of up to 2,000 mg per kg, producing plasma levels of 35 to 45 times those in humans at the recommended dose for HIV-1 infection.
Impairment of Fertility
In a study of reproductive performance, lamivudine administered to rats at doses up to 4,000 mg per kg per day, producing plasma levels 47 to 70 times those in humans, revealed no evidence of impaired fertility and no effect on the survival, growth, and development to weaning of the offspring.
Use In Specific Populations
Pregnancy Exposure Registry
There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to EPIVIR during pregnancy. Physicians are encouraged to register patients by calling the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry at 1-800-258-4263.
Risk Summary
Available data from the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry show no difference in the risk of overall major birth defects for lamivudine compared with the background rate for major birth defects of 2.7% in the US reference population of the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP). Lamivudine produced embryonic toxicity in rabbits at a dose that produced similar human exposures as the recommended clinical dose. The relevance of animal findings to human pregnancy registry data is not known.
Human Data: Based on prospective reports from the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry of over 11,000 exposures to lamivudine during pregnancy resulting in live births (including over 4,300 exposed in the first trimester), there was no difference between lamivudine and overall birth defects compared with the background birth defect rate of 2.7% in the US reference population of the MACDP. The prevalence of defects in the first trimester was 3.1% (95% CI: 2.6% to 3.7%).
Lamivudine pharmacokinetics were studied in pregnant women during 2 clinical trials conducted in South Africa. The trials assessed pharmacokinetics in 16 women at 36 weeks gestation using 150 mg lamivudine twice daily with zidovudine, 10 women at 38 weeks gestation using 150 mg lamivudine twice daily with zidovudine, and 10 women at 38 weeks gestation using lamivudine 300 mg twice daily without other antiretrovirals. These trials were not designed or powered to provide efficacy information. Lamivudine pharmacokinetics in pregnant women were similar to those seen in non-pregnant adults and in postpartum women. Lamivudine concentrations were generally similar in maternal, neonatal, and umbilical cord serum samples. In a subset of subjects, amniotic fluid specimens were collected following natural rupture of membranes and confirmed that lamivudine crosses the placenta in humans. Amniotic fluid concentrations of lamivudine were typically 2 times greater than maternal serum levels and ranged from 1.2 to 2.5 mcg per mL (150 mg twice daily) and 2.1 to 5.2 mcg per mL (300 mg twice daily).
Animal Data: Studies in pregnant rats showed that lamivudine is transferred to the fetus through the placenta. Reproduction studies with orally administered lamivudine have been performed in rats and rabbits at doses producing plasma levels up to approximately 35 times that for the recommended adult HIV dose. No evidence of teratogenicity due to lamivudine was observed. Evidence of early embryolethality was seen in the rabbit at exposure levels similar to those observed in humans, but there was no indication of this effect in the rat at exposure levels up to 35 times those in humans.
Risk Summary
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that HIV-1-infected mothers in the United States not breastfeed their infants to avoid risking postnatal transmission of HIV-1 infection. Because of the potential for HIV-1 transmission mothers should be instructed not to breastfeed.
Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of EPIVIR in combination with other antiretroviral agents have been established in pediatric patients aged 3 months and older [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, ADVERSE REACTIONS, CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Clinical Studies].
Geriatric Use
Clinical trials of EPIVIR did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. In general, caution should be exercised in the administration of EPIVIR in elderly patients reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
Patients With Impaired Renal Function
Reduction of the dosage of EPIVIR is recommended for patients with impaired renal function [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.
