Carlsberg Gains on Putin's Russia Re-Election: Copenhagen Mover
Carlsberg A/S, Russia's biggest brewer, rose to the highest in two weeks in Copenhagen trading as Vladimir Putin's election victory increased the prospect of stability and consumption growth in the eastern European nation.
Carlsberg climbed as much as 1.7 percent to 458.5 kroner, the highest price since Feb. 21. The stock was biggest gainer in the Copenhagen benchmark index of 20 companies, repeating yesterday's market-leading advance.
"Putin's victory is giving Carlsberg a lift," Rune M. Dahl, a London-based analyst with DnB Markets, said by phone today. "Russian assets have been undervalued lately, and with the exposure Carlsberg has to Russia, it's good news for the company that there'll be a stable government."
Carlsberg, the world's fourth-largest brewer, had a Russian market share of 37.4 percent in 2011 and generated 31 percent of revenue from eastern Europe. The beermaker, which last month said it plans to buy the minority shares in its Russian Baltika unit, said today it plans to delist the division regardless of making an offer, a move that won't need a shareholder meeting.
"Carlsberg may be taking a bit of a tough approach on Baltika minority owners, but that's how it's done," said Dahl, who has a "buy" recommendation on the Danish company's shares. "The additional pressure on minority owners increases the chances of Carlsberg gaining complete control. And Carlsberg will definitely benefit from full control because it gives operational flexibility in eastern Europe."
Carlsberg was up 1.3 percent at 456.50 kroner at 10:09 a.m.

FDA Approves Northera to Treat Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension »
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Northera capsules (droxidopa) for the treatment of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (NOH). NOH is a rare, chronic and often debilitating drop in blood pressure upon standing that is associate"...
Read the FDA Approves Northera to Treat Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension article »
Mechanism Of Action
The exact mechanism of action of NORTHERA in the treatment of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension is unknown. NORTHERA is a synthetic amino acid analog that is directly metabolized to norepinephrine by dopa-decarboxylase, which is extensively distributed throughout the body. NORTHERA is believed to exert its pharmacological effects through norepinephrine and not through the parent molecule or other metabolites. Norepinephrine increases blood pressure by inducing peripheral arterial and venous vasoconstriction. NORTHERA in humans induces small and transient rises in plasma norepinephrine.
Peak droxidopa plasma concentrations are associated with increases in systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Droxidopa has no clinically significant effect on standing or supine heart rates in patients with autonomic failure.
Cardiac Electrophysiology
No prolongation of the QTc interval was observed with NORTHERA at single oral doses up to 2,000 mg, as shown in a dedicated thorough QT study.
Peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) of droxidopa were reached by 1 to 4 hours postdose (mean of approximately 2 hours) in healthy volunteers. High-fat meals have a moderate impact on droxidopa exposure with Cmax and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) decreasing by 35% and 20%, respectively. The Cmax was delayed by approximately 2 hours with a high-fat meal.
Pre-clinical studies suggest that droxidopa can cross the blood brain barrier. Droxidopa exhibits plasma protein binding of 75% at 100 ng/mL and 26% at 10,000 ng/mL. The estimated apparent volume of distribution of droxidopa is about 200 L in humans.
The metabolism of droxidopa is mediated by catecholamine pathway and not through the cytochrome P450 system. Droxidopa is initially converted to methoxylated dihydroxyphenylserine (3-OM-DOPS), a major metabolite, by catechol- O-methyltransferase (COMT), to norepinephrine by DOPA decarboxylase (DDC), or to protocatechualdehyde by DOPS aldolase. After oral dosing in humans, plasma norepinephrine levels peak within 3 to 4 hours but are generally very low (less than 1 ng/mL) and variable with no consistent relationship with dose. The contribution of the metabolites of droxidopa other than norepinephrine to its pharmacological effects is not well understood.
The mean elimination half-life of droxidopa is approximately 2.5 hours in humans. The major route of elimination of droxidopa and its metabolites is via the kidneys in both animals and in humans. Studies in animals showed that ~75% of the radiolabeled dose was excreted in urine within 24 hours of oral dosing.
Special Populations
There are no clinically relevant effects of age, body mass index, or sex on the pharmacokinetics of droxidopa. A population pharmacokinetic analysis suggests that hepatic function, assessed by aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase, and total bilirubin, did not influence the exposure to droxidopa. The controlled clinical trials included patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. No dose adjustments are required in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment.
Drug Interactions
No dedicated drug-drug interaction studies were performed for droxidopa. Patients in the Phase 3 trials with NORTHERA received concomitant levodopa/carbidopa, dopamine agonists, MAO-B inhibitors, COMT inhibitors and other medications used to treat Parkinson's disease. Carbidopa, a peripheral dopa-decarboxylase inhibitor, could prevent the conversion of NORTHERA to norepinephrine outside of the central nervous system (CNS). Patients taking NORTHERA with L-DOPA/dopadecarboxylase inhibitor combination drugs had decreased clearance of NORTHERA, an increase in exposure (AUC) to droxidopa of approximately 100%, and an increase in exposure to 3-OM-DOPS of approximately 50%. However, in clinical trials, it was found that the decreased clearance was not associated with a significant need for a different treatment dose or increases in associated adverse events. Dopamine agonists, amantadine derivatives, and MAO-B inhibitors do not appear to affect NORTHERA clearance, and no dose adjustments are required.
Animal Toxicology And Pharmacology
Rats and mice treated for 52 and 80 weeks, respectively, at doses similar to human doses (100 to 300 mg/kg/day for rats and 300 to 1,000 mg/kg/day for mice) had increased incidences of renal and cardiac lesions (rats and mice) and deaths (rats only). No signs of toxicity were observed in monkeys or dogs given droxidopa for 13 weeks at doses 32 times (3,000 mg/kg/day) and 37 times (2,000 mg/kg/day), respectively, the maximum recommended total daily dose of 1,800 mg in a 60 kg patient, when based on body surface area.
Clinical Studies
Studies In Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension
Clinical studies (described below) examined the efficacy of NORTHERA in the shortterm (1 to 2 weeks) and over longer-term periods (8 weeks; 3 months). Studies 301 and 306B showed a treatment effect of NORTHERA at Week 1, but none of the studies demonstrated continued efficacy beyond 2 weeks of treatment.
Study 306B was a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study in patients with symptomatic NOH and Parkinson's disease. Patients entering the study were required to have a decrease of at least 20 mm Hg or 10 mm Hg, respectively, in systolic or diastolic blood pressure, within 3 minutes after standing, as well as symptoms associated with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. The study had an initial dose titration period that lasted up to 2 weeks in which patients received placebo or 100 to 600 mg of NORTHERA three times daily, followed by an 8-week treatment period.
Efficacy was measured using the OHSA Item #1 score ("dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint, and feeling like you might black out") at Week 1, in patients who had completed titration and 1 week of maintenance therapy. A total of 171 patients were enrolled, and 147 patients were included in the efficacy analysis. The mean age was 72 years, and patients were mostly Caucasian. During the study, 94% of placebo-treated patients and 88% on NORTHERA were taking dopa-decarboxylase inhibitors; 17% of placebo-treated patients and 26% on NORTHERA were taking fludrocortisone. There were more premature discontinuations in the NORTHERA group (28%) than in the placebo group (20%).
In both groups, the mean baseline dizziness score was 5.1 on an 11-point scale. At Week 1, patients showed a statistically significant mean 0.9-unit decrease in dizziness with NORTHERA versus placebo (P=0.028), but the effect did not persist beyond Week 1. The data at all time points are shown in Figure 1.
Patients receiving NORTHERA also had a greater increase, compared to placebo, in the Week 1 lowest standing systolic blood pressure within 3 minutes after standing (5.6 mm Hg; P=0.032).

OHSA Item 1 Score by Week in Study 306B
Note: The graph is based on observed data only. The error bars are the 95% confidence interval of the mean change from baseline in OHSA Item 1 scores.
Figure 2 shows the distribution of changes from Baseline to Week 1 in the OHSA Item #1 score. Overall, the figure shows that patients treated with NORTHERA improved more than those treated with placebo.
Figure 2: Distribution of Patients by Change in OHSA
Item 1, Baseline to Week 1, in Study 306B
Study 301 was a multicenter, multinational, double-blind, randomized, placebocontrolled, parallel-group study in patients with symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. The study included an initial open-label dose titration period, a 7-day washout period, and a randomized double-blind 7-day treatment period. To be eligible for enrollment, patients were required to have a decrease in systolic or diastolic blood pressure of at least 20 or 10 mm Hg, respectively, within 3 minutes after standing. The study was enriched, such that only patients who had been identified as 'responders' during the titration period were randomized to NORTHERA or placebo. To be considered a responder, a patient had to demonstrate improvement on the OHSA Item #1 score by at least 1 point, as well as an increase in systolic blood pressure of at least 10 mm Hg post-standing, during the open-label dose titration period. Patients who dropped out during the titration period because of side effects or other reasons were also not included in the double-blind portion of the study.
Patients had a primary diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (n=60), pure autonomic failure (n=36), or multiple system atrophy (n=26). The mean age was 60 years, and most were Caucasian. 45% of patients were taking dopa-decarboxylase inhibitors, and 29% were taking fludrocortisone.
Efficacy was measured using the Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire (OHQ), a patient-reported outcome that measures symptoms of NOH and their impact on the patient's ability to perform daily activities that require standing and walking. The OHQ includes OHSA Item #1 as one of several components. A statistically significant treatment effect was not demonstrated on OHQ (treatment effect of 0.4 unit, P=0.19).
The mean baseline dizziness score on OHSA Item #1 ("dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint, and feeling like you might black out") was 5.2 units on an 11-point scale. At Week 1 of treatment, patients showed a mean 0.7-unit decrease in dizziness with NORTHERA versus placebo (P=0.06).
Study 302 (n=101) was a placebo-controlled, 2-week randomized withdrawal study of NORTHERA in patients with symptomatic NOH. Study 303 (n=75) was an extension of Studies 301 and 302, where patients received their titrated dose of NORTHERA for 3 months and then entered a 2-week randomized withdrawal phase. Neither study showed a statistically significant difference between treatment arms on its primary endpoint. Considering these data, the effectiveness of NORTHERA beyond 2 weeks is uncertain, and patients should be evaluated periodically to determine whether NORTHERA is continuing to provide a benefit.

Valle Nevado is the big daddy, La Parva is the rich cousin and El Colorado is the little brother in hand-me-downs – that kind of funky, low-key resort where the lifts are slow and the skiers are generally recreational types who stick to groomed runs. But there are a lot of decent steeps here, and few know that El Colorado can be a gem on a powder day – its east face, in fact, usually receives the largest dumps in the Three Valleys area. I've been here on a weekday after a storm and felt like there were only ten other people on the mountain. The steep chutes that face Valle Nevado are especially good, with a nearly vertical T-bar lift that can be either fun or a butt-burner, depending on your perspective. During the early season when there is little coverage the wind can whip the west face until it's totally bald, or turn snow into bulletproof conditions. The resort wraps around a cone-shaped mountain above treeline so you can pick a line anywhere you want – there are loads of off-piste runs here, and they have a snowpark.
The best thing about this resort is that it is closest to Santiago, and that a small and ramshackle village called Farallones spreads out below and offers loads of economical lodging options, including a backpacker's hostel, the Posada Farallones, and the resort's own apartments, which I've stayed in and can vouch for as being much more comfortable than La Parva's. There is a small "resort" also called Farallones that connects with El Colorado and is mostly beginner runs and a tubing center popular with nonskiers up from Santiago.
I'd say this is a good resort if you want a) a shorter stay than demanded by Valle Nevado or b) something cheaper on the lodging side. El Colorado sits smack dab between Valle and La Parva, so one day you ski El Colorado, the next buy an interconnect ticket and ski Valle, then the third day shuttle the 10 minutes over to La Parva and ski there.

Football South chairman Dougal McGowan said Football South
was working hard to get the tournament to Dunedin.
Mr McGowan said he was in the ''question and answer time''
when Dunedin city councillors debated the bid behind closed
doors last week.
After the meeting, he remained positive that the tournament
could be hosted in Dunedin.
''It will be a fantastic event to have in town. Not only for
football, but for the town itself.''
The councillors had made a resolution at the meeting, he
''I understand they passed a resolution but I don't know what
that was.''
Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull said the council had ''nothing to
report at the moment'' about any progress on a deal to get
games played in the city.
It was confirmed last month the council had abandoned its
official bid, amid concerns the cost of hosting matches would
outweigh any economic benefits arising from the tournament.
However, Fifa officials were still considering whether to
stage matches at the city's stadium, which had been offered
for use at ''no or minimal cost'' to the council, Mr Cull
said at the time.

I've downloaded two jars. I want to import some of their contained classes. How do I do this?
It's for my algorithms class. I've tried following the instructions on the following site to no avail.
There's an installer for OSX (I'm running Mountain Lion) which allegedly adds the jars to your classpath. Unfortunately it also installs Dr. Java. I'd rather just use Sublime and Terminal. I assumed it would be easy enough just...
import java.stdlib;
in my Percolation.java file, but javac-ing that program yields a "package stdlib does not exist", as does
import stdlib;
I've added the location of stdlib.jar and algs4.jar to my Terminal CLASSPATH manually via:
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/Users/Michael/path/to/jar/algs4.jar:/Users/Michael/path/to/jar/algs4.jar
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/Users/Michael/path/to/jar/stdlib.jar:/Users/Michael/path/to/jar/stdlib.jar
I've also attempted
javac -cp $CLASSPATH:/Users/Michael/path/to/jar/algs4.jar:/Users/Michael/path/to/jar/stdlib.jar Percolation.java
But I still get a
javac Percolation.java
Percolation.java:1: cannot find symbol
symbol : class stdlib
location: package java
import java.stdlib;
Percolation.java:2: package java.algs4 does not exist
import java.algs4.WeightedQuickUnionUF;
What's going on here?
Also is there a way to permanently add those values to my CLASSPATH in OS X mountain lion. I have to perform that command with every new Terminal.

The Government major is designed to prepare and enrich students for their professional lives and their roles as active citizens and leaders. The department has a long tradition of encouraging its majors to think conceptually about politics and to immerse themselves in their political environment through internships, civic activism, study abroad and service learning.
Students in Government study the processes by which societies make collective decisions, explore the theoretical and ethical foundations of political action, raise critical questions about the nature and use of power, and examine how societies and international systems attempt to address basic problems of liberty, equality and order. As a complement to coursework in the major, students develop skills in language, economics, mathematics or philosophy.
A major in Government consists of ten courses in Government and a three course Cognate. Requirements are:
GOV 241 or 242;
four electives, of which at least two must be at the 300-level or above;
one 400-level Government seminar (taken at Franklin & Marshall).
Also required is the completion of one of the following Cognates:
PHI (three courses, at least two of which must be at the 200-level or higher);
MAT (any three courses not counting 105 or 116);
Foreign Language (three courses in a new language or three courses beginning where the student is placed);
ECO (100, 103, plus any 200-level course); or
One full semester of study abroad at a College-approved program.
Prospective majors are encouraged to begin planning for the major by the first semester of their sophomore year. To declare a major, students must have taken at least one Government course and have taken or be planning to take one Cognate course by the first semester of junior year. GOV 250 should be completed no later than the first semester of the junior year.
Students considering study abroad should contact the Office of International Programs.
For students completing the Government major, MAT 116, MAT 216, BIO 210, ECO 210, BOS 250, PSY 230 or SOC 302 may be substituted for GOV 250.
Students intending to major in both Public Health and Government may not apply more than three Government courses toward the second major.
To be considered for honors in Government, students must have a major GPA of at least 3.50 at the end of their seventh semester, complete a two-semester Independent Study project and defend it in an oral exam. The project must include an original argument that is placed in the context of other scholarship. An award of honors will be made by the committee for projects that demonstrate originality, intellectual engagement and depth of understanding of the topic.
Please note as well, that the numbering system for Government courses corresponds to the following subfield divisions: x00 – x19 (American Politics); x20 – x29 (Comparative Government); x30 – x39 (International Relations); x40 – x49 (Political Theory); x50 – x59 (Political Research).
Majors in Government have participated in the following off-campus study programs in recent years: Washington semester, American University, Washington, D.C.; Butler University and other programs in London and Oxford, UK; Parliamentary Internship program at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland; International Education of Students (IES) in Barcelona, Spain and Buenos Aires, Argentina; School for International Training (SIT) in Amsterdam, Jordan, Kenya, and Australia. See the International Programs section of the Catalog for further information.
A list of regularly offered courses follows. Please note the key for the following abbreviations: (A) Arts; (H) Humanities; (S) Social Sciences; (N) Natural Sciences with Laboratory; (LS) Language Studies requirement; (NSP) Natural Science in Perspective; (NW) Non-Western Cultures requirement.
100. American Government. (S)
Political power within the framework of American national government. Current governmental and political problems are explored. Ciuk, Friedrich, Medvic, Stephenson
120. Comparative Politics. (S)

The transition from the 20th to the 21st century was accompanied by a dramatic shift in strategic priorities and perceived threats to nations. Beginning at the end of the Cold War the world's unipolar military power stood prepared to reap the benefis of a hegemonic peace. Instead, a series of violent events, technological innovations, emergent environmental crises, and political upheavals put global leaders on their heels. In the process, analysts became increasingly aware that the 20th century definitions of state security (a healthy military force that can protect a country from invasion) appeared insufficient for dealing with drones, cyberspace, terrorism, wikileaks, and global climate change. This course asks students to begin developing that new definition through discussion, writing, and exploration of resources. Prerequisite: GOV 130. Kollars

Schousen
412. Political Parties. (S)
This seminar is designed to explore issues related to party politics, particularly in the United States but with some comparison to party systems in other democracies. Students will explore the role of parties in democratic systems of government, various models of parties and party systems, and the history of parties in the United States. The majority of the semester will be spent examining three aspects of parties that scholars have generally used to describe what political parties are and what they do—the party-as-organization, the party-in-the-electorate, and the party-in-government. After completing the course, students should have a better understanding, from both a normative and empirical perspective, of the role played by parties in the American political system. Medvic
416. Ideology in Contemporary American Politics. (S)
Liberal, conservative, libertarian, neoconservative, populist, progressive, green, Tea Party—these and many other ideological labels are tossed around with abandon in contemporary American politics. But what is a political ideology and what are all these various factions actually arguing about? Why do some people hold a particular ideology and others a different one—or no ideology at all? How does ideology affect the way people—both ordinary citizens and elites such as members of Congress, presidents, and Supreme Court justices—think and act politically? How do the political parties differ in their ideologies? Is the United States becoming more polarized ideologically? These questions will be explored through the study of contemporary American political discourse, opinion surveys, and campaigns and elections. Prerequisite: GOV 100 and GOV 250. Friedrich
420. Secrets, Spies, Satellites. (S)
This seminar highlights some of the major debates about the role, practices and problems of national intelligence and explores the issues facing the U.S. intelligence community in the 21st century.

Prerequisites: GOV 330 or GOV331. Permission of the instructor required. Kibbe
424. Post-War Japanese Politics and Society. (NW) (S)
In this seminar, we analyze the development of Japan's political and economic systems from the Occupation era to the present day. Topics include: changes to the party system, campaigns, and elections; the aging crisis; gender; citizenship and immigration policies; recent reforms to the business sector and legal system; foreign relations; and the crisis of 3/11. Students take turns leading discussion each week, present their research on panels at the end of the semester, and maintain a writing portfolio. Hasunuma
427. The Politics of Development.
This course explores the theory and practice of international development, with an emphasis on political dynamics. The course begins with an overview of the most well-known and debated theories of development, such as modernization and dependency theories. We then discuss the politics of foreign aid and humanitarian assistance. Finally, the course explores several topics that are important to this area of study, such as gender, ethno-development, and participatory development. While not excluding other regions of the world, the course has a strong emphasis on the politics of development in Latin America. McNulty

The Basics – Wait for You EP : Album Reviews
May 19, 2010 by Lisa Dib
Filed under Album Reviews, Music
Fans of The Basics will be overjoyed that live favourite Wait for You has finally been immortalized on this half live- half studio EP. After the recording of their live album, we thought that, perhaps, the Basics might take a breather. You know, rest on their laurels. Foolish we!
As well as a May residency at the Northcote Social Club (where the aforementioned live album was recorded), the band have released this, a seven-track EP containing a mixture of new tracks, fan faves and, er, an old standard…
The disc opens with an oddly Dukes of Windsor circa The Others choral; oh, but there is that familiar jaunty guitar riff. The added video game-esque sound effects are adorable. Drummer/ vocalist Wally DeBacker's melodious vocals ring out, and bass-man Kris Schroeder and guitarist Tim Heath play back-up. The track is a cheery throwback to the band's older material (somewhere between Get Back and Stand Out/ Fit In); urban doo-wop? In any case, I get a distinctively Temptations/ Spinners vibe from this, and I like it.
Time to bring it down a notch; I Could Be Happy has Schroeder on lead vocals, dripping with vulnerability. A soaring, melancholic ballad with Heath and DeBacker adding swooning voice in parts. "How can I forget you, when I know how good you taste/ I know it's wrong, but it's just a song" wails Schroeder beautifully, and a towering sax solo by Jake Mason gives it a great power ballad touch.
Ho-ly shit! This is it! Get Me Down is the reason people love this band. A deeply sixties-esque rock guitar opening (a little Angus Young, a little Kinks) and Heath- for some reason- introducing the track in a British accent makes the track sound like it should've opened The Boat That Rocked. Stuttering riffage, rock and roll wailing vocals (each member fighting for vox-dominance!); I found myself unconsciously bobbing my head in time. A couple of minutes in, an epic appropriation of Beethoven's Fur Elise inexplicably but delightfully pumps in, splashy cymbals abounding and, as quick as it arrived, is gone in another flurry of chaotic rock and roll axe.
To come down after that detonation, the live part of the EP begins, starting with Happy Birthday. The tracks were recorded at their 2009 Corner Hotel show in Melbourne, and some chummy banter leads into another live favourite, Second Best. The tracks gets quite prog somewhere in the middle there, and I worry the Basics will take a little more influence than is healthy from Dreamtheater, Marillion, et al, but luckily it is just the boys being the boys and smashing about into a cacophony of rock sounds. Over the years, the Basics boys have become more and more comfortable going off the beaten track, or, hell, the setlist.
A growing squelching sound signals the beginnings of Stand Out/ Fit In opener, Rattle My Chain. The head-banging drumbeats, climbing keys and eventual beefy solo by Mr Heath- supoib.
The disc is topped with J.J Cale cover, Cocaine. Personally, I would have preferred The Basics' Gimme Some Lovin' or Put The Lime in the Coconut, but one is not in charge. Another fine disc from a fine, fine band.

Okapi Conservation Project staff have been very busy the past few months. In spite of the instability of the situation in the DRC, our dedicated educators have been travelling to various communities around the Okapi Wildlife Reserve organizing seminars to students and local leaders eager to understand the dangers of deforestation and the long term benefits of conservation actions.
This fall our agroforestry team collected rice seeds that will be distributed to new members for planting in the spring. Each farmer in the co-op gives back 50% of the seeds from their first harvest which then is shared with newly joining farmers. A new type of bean seed which provides high levels of much-needed protein was also distributed by our agro-forestry team.
Additionally, our team members distributed indigenous fruit tree seedlings, from our Project nursery in Mambassa, to households in communities along the road through the Reserve. These will provide much needed fruit and shade.
Support for protection of the Okapi Wildlife Reserve has never been stronger from the residents of these forest communities and this is a direct reflection of the commitment shown from individuals and institutions around the world during these past challenging months. We are in a new era of both challenges and possibilities for this important conservation corner of the world.

Personally, I find it hard to get excited at a National Party list that includes the so-called 'brat pack' of congenital political losers. Remember how the electorate rejected them last time? As a reward, the Nats have given them all top places at the table this time.
Remember boyish Bill English asking why Helen Clark "didn't burn the corn" when most reasonable people were thinking that not burning the corn was perhaps the one reasonable thing that she had done in her time as PM; remember Nick Smith calling the loathsome RMA "far-sighted environmental legislation"; remember Vile Ryall promising to end the presumption of innocence as a Minister of Justice; remember then-Education Minister Lockwood Smith introducing the appallingly politically-correct NCEA?
I do. The electorate does. These are men with few ideas, and all of them bad.
Rather than giving these soft-shelled political liabilities a list placing – all of them in the top ten -- isn't it time instead to give all of the 'Frat Pack' an unlisted number? In my view, until the Nats purge themselves of these gentlemen and of colleagues such as Murray McCully – strategist soon for three election defeats in a row – the party's days are numbered.

GPS system threatened by satellite failures
Where in the world am I?
THE GLOBAL POSITIONING SERVICE (GPS) on which satellite navigation devices rely could begin to fail by next year, a report has warned.
The US Government Accountability Office (GAO), said that a lack of investment in satellites means that some are close to failing.
The US Air Force is said to be spending £1.3 billion to bring the US system up to date, but the GAO report says that repairs are not happening fast enough. The GPS network is run by the US military and rented by commercial firms internationally for sat-nav systems.
"It is uncertain whether the Air Force will be able to acquire new satellites in time to maintain current GPS service without interruption," said the report.
"If not, some military operations and some civilian users could be adversely affected," the GAO warned.
The only other such network in place today is the Glonass Russian satellite system, which currently has only 19 operational satellites, with 24 needed to cover the whole globe.
The US system currently has 31 satellites operating, but a number of them are more than four years past their design lifetime.
The GAO predicts a one in five chance that the fleet will drop below 24 at times in 2011 and 2012.
China hopes to have its own GPS system operational by 2011 and the EU's Galileo system, a non-military operation, is expected to have just four satellites on the network by 2011. µ

Chris Noth Is As Old As Old New York
The actor takes on our 21 Questions.
Name: Chris Noth
Age: "As old as the old New York."
Neighborhood: Greenwich Village
Occupation: Actor. Next Monday, June 16, at 7 p.m. he'll be hosting the ECO RoCK benefit for the Rainforest Action Network at the Cutting Room, alongside his Good Wife co-star Julianna Margulies, among others, with entertainment by Jim Gaffigan. Grab your tickets here.
Who's your favorite New Yorker, living or dead, real or fictional?
Jerry Orbach. He really was Mr. New York, and people don't realize what a great Broadway hoofer he was.
What's the best meal you've eaten in New York?
Can I answer it in a two-pronged way? The best branzino at Da Marino on 49th Street. The best steak at Knickerbocker on University and 9th.
In one sentence, what do you actually do all day in your job?
Oh yeah, this is impossible because my job depends on whether I'm doing a play or a movie or not doing anything at all. I'm also trying to stay in shape most of the time, but that's because I love my favorite booze and favorite sedatives, which are the same thing.
What was your first job in New York?
A bartender at the Only Child in the West '70s, when I was 22 (I was a daytime bartender — it was the only thing I could get). I didn't realize that on the second floor was a whore house.
What's the last thing you saw on Broadway?
Beautiful. I loved every second of it. I'm so happy she won the Tony.
Do you give money to panhandlers?
Mostly. But sometimes if I see a guy and he's young and in good shape and healthy, I'm not gonna give him any money.
What's your drink?
Vodka straight up, usually Grey Goose, but Belvedere will do. Ice cold — I like to tell the bartender "Make it a Polar vortex, with little shards of ice on top" — three olives, and a tiny bit of dirt. "Make it dirty, not filthy. Like sex."
How often do you prepare your own meals?
Now that I'm married? Never. Oh, that's a really chauvinist line, isn't it? I'm trying to learn. But you know, it's much more a habit in L.A. than it is in New York, let's just put it that way.
What's your favorite medication?
Vodka martini with three olives, ice cold, with little shards of ice on top.
What is the best thing in or about your apartment?
It's got a sunken living room with a fireplace, and it's prewar. I've lived there since '94.
What's the craziest thing you've ever seen on the subway?
Back in the '70s, I saw a guy with high tops and long pants pull up his pants and pull out a ten-inch knife, with which he proceeded to cut himself. It was pretty crazy.
When was the last time you stayed out past 3 a.m.?
Never in L.A.. In New York, at least once a week.
Which do you prefer, the old Times Square or the new Times Square?
Old, old, old. It's nothing but tourists there now, and a lot of neon. There's a lot of great old bars that are gone. And I know we need tourists — it's not that. I don't know what it is. It's brand drug stores; it's M&M stores and crap like that. It's commercial junk now. It's terrible.
What do you think of Mayor de Blasio?
He's just what the city needs and we should give him a fighting chance.
What do you hate most about living in New York?
This is a phenomenon that's only happened in the last 20 years, and it's the systematic raping of New York by greedy developers who have turned this city into a second-rate Dubai.
If you could banish one person from New York forever, who would it be?
Greedy developers. Pick one. Banish 'em.
When's the last time you drove a car?
In New York? I keep an old Toyota and I drive at night at least once a week, if I'm going uptown. I never drive it in the daytime; then I use the Citibikes. That's a great invention.
Finish this sentence: The NYPD _____.
… are the greatest.
Times, Post, or Daily News?
Times for everything, and when I want to indulge in gossip, Richard Johnson of the Post. He's old-school.
Where do you go to be alone?
I run in Central Park.
What makes someone a New Yorker?
You have to have lived and worked in this city at the very least a decade.

Our second pilgrimage is over, A very different experience, the good and the bad, the heat, cold and incessant at times rain. The quite often loneliness of being just 3 for kilometre after kilometre. The lack of watering holes and accommodation, even when found could be freezing. But... The amazing places - Fatima, Tomar, Coimbra, Porto, Rondella, Ponte Vendra, to mention a few. The wonderful cheap food and wine in Portugal. We certainly intend to return soon and enjoy at ...
Trip to Benidorm
... Benidorm? Simply because neither of us have ever been and we've heard of so many people going.
Was it our grandparents/older relatives that went maybe?? Oh we were very young and got run over by tandem disability scooters on numerous occasions.
To be fair, we had a lovely walk along the promenade and around town (got a bit lost!!), then back to the campsite (about 7 miles). We ate on the promenade ...
Day 48
... on the beach relaxing.
We then went for a walk, had non alcoholic cocktails like the ones in Ceasars in Christchurch and looked in a few shops before going out to dinner along the beach from the girls apartment.
After dinner we went back to the apartment and slept.
Well cruel as I may be, I cannot help smirking, the loony woman has damaged her rib! Party, party, vino, vino, dancing down the hallway, trips up and falls on table. Paracetamol and water , but not looking good for the long teck. Freddy is now dreaming of lazy days in Lisbon by the pool ...
Sixth Week (Denia)
... running of the bulls." After we got into the stadium we had to wait for a little bit for the show to start. The ran the bulls in from the street, and they went straight into their pen. After they blocked off the entrance, they let a bull loose in the arena. This stadium only has 3 sides, and the open side is a drop-off into the port. The goal is to get the bull to chase a "runner" into the sea. The name of this "bull running" is Bous a la Mar (Bulls to ...

Re: Authorized Users and Credit Scoring?
The trained eye would have to be able to calculate a FICO score, excluding the AU information.
Not even trained eyes have access to the proprietary FICO scoring algorithm, so no score could be produced.
Sure, one could view the CR and guess at the outcome, but then the entire FICO score becomes meaningless.

This child theme folder's functions.php file hook are supposed to help us wrap the Jigoshop v1.2.3 cart in our Creativix theme. In this file I've been trying to locate the correct div IDs to wrap the cart per the threads elsewhere. Here's the Jigoshop system info.

While determining that you've got too much capacity is easy, doing something about it isn't. Most CRAC units are simple: Either they're on or they're off; there's no throttling them down. Less than 10% of CRAC units installed today contain variable-speed motors, but even with the right motors it's not trivial to determine the effect of changing the output of one CRAC unit. Until recently, various vendors had the instrumentation and software capabilities to map airflows and temperature gradients throughout a data center, both in 2-D and 3-D, but no one had the ability to determine the "zone of influence" of each CRAC unit. In late July, HP announced Thermal Zone Mapping, which uses software and instrumentation to measure existing conditions and predict the effects of moving or throttling back CRAC units.
Along with its thermal zone mapping, HP also announced what it calls Dynamic Smart Cooling. DSC was developed with Liebert and STULZ, the two companies that produce the vast majority of room- and building-based cooling units in North America. The partnership lets HP software control the performance of newer CRAC units from the two manufacturers. For data centers built in the last five years or so, CRAC units may only require the addition of a controller board to interface with the HP system, provided those systems are equipped with variable-speed motors. Older CRAC units must be replaced to participate. HP claims DSC will save up to 45% on cooling costs.
Once you start imagining moving the furniture around, it's time to call in the pros. No IT staff has the time or expertise to lay out a data center for maximum efficiency. Even if you understand the concepts of laminar airflow (which is good) vs. turbulent airflow (bad), you won't have the tools and software to measure what's going on in your data center. And, of course, when it's time to actually rearrange the facility, you'll need enough plumbers, electricians, and IT pros to get the job done in whatever timeframe you have.
What's impressive about DSC is that it yields a forward-looking data center design. We can all imagine the notion of a virtualized data center where servers are turned on and off automatically based on business needs. DSC provides the ability to sense the changing cooling needs of such a dynamic data center and make adjustments on the fly. Currently, this is just vision--no data center is this dynamic--but given that you get the chance to redesign data centers perhaps once a decade, it's good to have a vision.
Regardless of who creates the new design, two main requirements are instrumentation and modularity. Instrumentation provides the data necessary to understand data center power consumption, while modularity gives you the means to do something about it. Modularity also permits systems to run at their peak efficiency, something that almost never happens in current data center designs (see Where Does The Power Go?).
As businesses become more conscious of energy use, the solution isn't to throw the latest technology at the problem. What's required is a disciplined, well-thought-out approach that consumes less power, personnel, and capital--and the will to make efficiency a priority.

America's Cup- Ian Taylor recognised for VirtualEye development
by Sail-World on 1 Jan 2012
Animation Research Ltd's founder, Ian Taylor (right) talks with TVNZ's Martin Tasker before the 33rd America's Cup in Valencia © Richard Gladwell
The lion behind the development of America's Cup graphics technology has been made a Companion of The New Zealand Order of Merit (CNZM) in the New Zealand New Years Honours, announced yesterday.
What is now known as VirtualEye was initially created by four people with no sailing experience - Ian Taylor, Professor Geoff Wyvill (University of Otago), Paul Sharp and Stu Smith (Developers) in 1991 and first used in the America's Cup in San Diego in 1992. This core team have remained with the project since its inception, along with several others who have been involved since the early days of the project. One of the newer recruits is John Rendall, who joined ARL straight from school, and now runs all the sailing for ARL.
The original realtime graphics project was commissioned by Television New Zealand, but managed by Taylor, who at that time had a number of television activities operating out of the old TVNZ headquarters in Dunedin. It was also a joint venture by the University of Otago's business arm and Taylor's Animation Research Ltd, in a forerunner to what are now regarded as incubator business projects. Eventually the whole product came under the aegis of ARL.
At the time of the first America's Cup project, email was only really becoming accepted, and the first movie to make heavy use of generated graphics, Jurassic Park, had just been released. A key contact for the project was Dr Alan Trimble, then Developer Advocate with Silicon Graphics, who assisted the project and facilitated the embedding of ARL developer Paul Sharp, into the Silicon Graphics developers program for three months in San Francisco's Silicon Valley.
A number of spin-off products evolved from the initial development, due firstly the need to capitalise on the development engine, and secondly as the product enjoyed a unique place at the fore-front of world sport, leading to the adaptation of the principles of the system into several leading edge sports such as golf, gliding, Formula 1 motor racing, cricket and many other sports. http://www.arl.co.nz/index.php/arl-news!Click_here for the latest ARL projects and where the technology is headed.
The key attribute of the VirtualEye system has been its ability to re-create the action, based on the actual tracks of the boats, planes, ball or cars and then place the camera in the perfect position to show the viewer what really happened, and visually explain the nuances of the incident.
In several instances, notably cricket, the graphics system has been incorporated into adjudication systems, and in several defined situations the batsman can now be given as out on the basis of a graphics replay. In fact so refined is the cricket system that one country, has not adopted it, much to the chagrin of other cricketing nations creating a huge international debate as to the drop in the accuracy of umpiring decisions last week, when two Australian batsmen were given as out using the old visual only method, when the graphics replay clearly showed they were both not out. http://www.sail-world.com/index.cfm?nid=77578&go=093556!Click_here for the story of how the system was developed for cricket.
Another feature of the VirtualEye productions are the introduction to the host city of the venue, which then forms the backdrop to the coverage of the event itself.
In sailing, the America's Cup graphics have rolled into most major yachting events - as both a TV product and a home viewer product under the Virtual Eye brand. A feature of the graphics has been the constant updating of the quality of the images to the latest standards in movie production, to the point where many fans prefer to watch a race using the Virtual Eye graphics package, rather than the traditional television product.
During the 2007-2010 period when TV production costs were a significant factor in the Louis Vuitton Trophy Series, Virtual Eye was used as the backbone of the televised production, ashore and to remote viewers, overlaid with a full commentary and augmented by limited video coverage. http://www.sail-world.com/UK/Virtual-Eye-raises-sports-broadcasting-bar-to-new-heights/63145!Click_here for the story and graphics.
Taylor has what is usually described as a colourful career, starting out as a singer in a band, before moving into fronting several popular children's TV show, and then into TV production. He is a lawyer by training. For a full profile http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/new-year-honours-2011/6203521/Dunedin-turned-rock-n-roller-into-TV-entrepreneur!click_here.
A member of the Hall of Fame for the NZ Technology Industry an extract from his profile covers his background living on the east coast of New Zealand:
Raised in the small East Coast settlement of Raupunga, halfway between Napier and Gisborne, he remembers a house with no electricity, his mother cooking on a coal range, reading Eagle comics by the light of a gas lantern and listening to Life with Dexter on a battery-powered radio.
'I still remember the day we got electricity in our house, the way a single light bulb filled the room with daylight, just at the flick of a switch.
'I don't think we called it technology in those days - but whatever we called it, it had a huge impact on me. At eight years of age I figured if you could do that by flicking a switch, you could do anything.'
For the full profile http://www.hitech.org.nz/ian-taylor.html!click_here
As all who have met him know, Ian Taylor is a very hard man to refuse, and is still as heavily involved in Animation Research, as he was on Day 1.
Now, Taylor is much in demand on the speaker's circuit becoming something of an evangelist for the development of technology in New Zealand and internationally. One of his maxim's has always been that if a client is interested in the Virtual Eye product, then he'll get on a plane and travel to wherever is required to met with them, demonstrate Virtual Eye, and work a new deal for a new project.
And 20 years on, from when those first two blue and yellow triangular shapes moved across a computer screen, in the basement of the old brick TVNZ building in Dunedin, the boundaries remain virtual and infinite.

Part 2 of the interview with Emirates Team NZ skipper Glenn Ashby.
In this part of the interview we look at what is going to happen once Emirates Team NZ get their 'AC49.5' sailing in Auckland, and how the campaign may shape up before they leave for Bermuda. Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

The Willie Mullins-trained six-year-old had been targeted at Cheltenham's Champion Hurdle earlier this month, trading as short as 8/1 in the days leading up to the festival.
With favourite Hurricane Fly also in the field Mullins opted to withdraw Un De Sceaux, whose toughest test to date came in a Grade Two contest at Gowran Park in February.
The gelding romped home by 16 lengths that day, with Ruby Walsh on board, to make it five straight wins over hurdles, to add to a pair of national hunt flat race triumphs.
Un De Sceaux has been an eye-catching winner in Ireland, with victory margins of 29 and 53 lengths respectively in the past, but is yet to race in England and his performance on Saturday will be of great interest to all connections.
Reve De Sivola could be another horse making his way to France, after finding conditions at Cheltenham too quick this month.
The Nick Williams-trained stayer, with three Grade One wins under his belt, was a disappointing eighth in the World Hurdle at Cheltenham.
And owner Paul Duffy is weighing up the options of Punchestown's World Hurdle next month and a trip to mainland Europe.
"He ran a good race at Cheltenham but the ground came up too fast for him," said Duffy.
"He certainly won't be going to Aintree. I think we'll be targeting the same French race again, but we'll keep an eye on Punchestown as well."

I feel the blood drip steadily from my nose, probably broken from the last punch to the face. It was a good hit, lucky, but still good. The strike had been a bit high and most of the force had been closer to the bridge, but it had done its job at backing me off. It hurt like hell, too.
Rubbing the blood across my arm, I shifted my stance, my opponent wary of me. Not many people got a hit in and when they did, well things got a lot more serious. That, and I couldn't waste anymore time. I could feel the girl behind me fidgeting with nerves. She was scared and I needed to get her out of here.
My stance widened and my center of gravity lowered, arms coming close to my sides, hands fisted. My opponent zeroed in on my new stance, and tried to counter it, but it wasn't anything he came across before. I took the opportunity to strike, so many openings clear before my eyes.
It was a quick, open palm heel thrust to the bottom of his ribs. He shifted to cover the spot, creating more openings. I brought my leg around, bent, for a horizontal knee strike to the opposite side. He bent in half, trying to protect himself. It was over. I brought my elbow crashing down on the back of his skull and he was flat on the ground. It had hardly been thirty seconds since the punch to my face.
It was time to go.
