John Macomber
Course Description
Jointly Listed at Harvard Business School as HBS 1485
General Notes:
GSD students should register for this course as GSD 7309. The course GSD 7409, "Real Estate Development, Design, and Construction" continues in the same time block through the end of April. Together the two courses constitute a full 4 credits. This course is taught by the HBS Case Study method. Grading is by a combination of class participation and final exam. Students registered into GSD 7309M3 receive a GSD format grade, not an HBS grade. This is primarily a finance course, with significant aspects of urban planning and design woven in.
Around the globe, the migration of hundreds of millions of people from countryside to cities will be a major force shaping societies and businesses for decades to come. At the same time, important resources like energy, clean water, clean air, and land are becoming increasingly scarce and costly. Governments have decreasing capability to directly fund infrastructure and the built environment. This course develops skills for addressing these trends and explores strategies for making a difference. Both US and non-US situations are studied.
Career Focus:
This course will benefit students who intend to be managers, capital providers, or advisors to organizations which look ahead to compete in a context of urbanization and resource scarcity. Typical roles would include service businesses, infrastructure finance, project finance, public sector consulting, private equity, retail and consumer products, not-for-profits, and real estate development, among others. There is particular emphasis on financial tools and design practices relating directly or indirectly to the built environment (urban areas, buildings within them, and large systems like energy, ground transportation, and water).
Educational Objectives:
The objective of the course is to help managers to understand the concepts, skills, and strategies that inform competition in this setting. The course focuses on creating business value through approaches which reduce demand and increase resource effectiveness, as distinct from supply based approaches like alternative energy or agricultural efficiency. Since few individual businesses or organizations can directly influence demographic changes or government policy, the emphasis is on equipping business leaders to act in the context of trends and circumstances while using resources which they control.
Course Content and Organization:
Concepts. The central question in this module is: What is to be expected? Cases and topics include the demographics of urbanization, projections with respect to supply and demand in several resource types, day to day impact on business, and the framework of cities and regions considering effectiveness of infrastructure as an element of competitiveness.
Skills. The principal query in this module is: What skills do I need in order to analyze and contribute in this context? Tools include resource efficiency and demand reduction in buildings and transportation, large scale project finance, fundamentals of urban planning, resource efficient building design, site selection, and the private finance of public infrastructure including energy, water, waste, and transportation.
Strategies. The final module considers: How can I create value in this context? Topics include market selection, scenario planning and forecasting with respect to demographic and resource possibilities; public private partnerships; subsidies and incentives; and case examples of companies facing different obstacles.

Course Description
Jointly Listed at Harvard Business School as HBS 1465
General Notes:
GSD students should register for this course as GSD 7409.The course GSD 7309, "Sustainable Cities: Urbanization, Infrastructure, and Finance" runs in the same time block in the first half of the semester. Together the two courses constitute a full 4 credits. Enrollment limited to 30 GSD students. This course is taught by the HBS Case Study method. Grading is by a combination of class participation and a team project. Students registered into GSD 7309M4 receive a GSD format grade, not an HBS grade. This is primarily a finance course, with significant aspects of architecture and urban design woven in.
Career Focus:
This course focuses on students who expect to be leaders in the global real estate industry and its related specialties. In the near term, these students will lead in the built environment as project managers in real estate development, real estate investing, private equity in real estate, architecture, urban planning, construction, or other fields emphasizing project management. In the longer term, these students will be leaders in those firms and in the industry. The course will also be relevant to students with a general interest in buildings and design.
Educational Objectives:
The educational objectives of this course are to introduce students to the basic tools and concepts needed to be thoughtful users of design, and effective project managers and leaders in the built environment. The analytical tools address a set of management skills that grow from the project level to the firm level to the regional and industry levels. Skills range from understanding pro formas and schedules; to managing architects and contractors; to strategies for the real estate practice; to analyzing and anticipating impacts of major trends in the next decade in real estate development, design, and construction.
Jointly-listed between Harvard Business School and Harvard Design School, this course is intended to serve an audience comprised of students from both schools, using faculty and concepts drawn from both schools and combining issues in finance, architecture, project materials and methods, and planning.
Course Content and Organization:
The course is organized into four modules. They follow the chronology of development, design, and construction including two different aspects of design, and two different sets of implementation tools.
1. Development Vision: Creating in the Built Environment
2. Development Economics: Marriage and Tradeoffs
3. Design: Aesthetics, Pragmatics, and Value
4. Construction and Project Management: Toolkit
Classes and assignments include case study discussions, simulation exercises, group and individual short projects, polls, and a multi-phase final project delivered in groups and drawing on all the tools of the course.
This course is distinct from the "Real Property" and "Real Estate in Emerging Markets" courses at HBS since this curriculum focuses primarily on the conception, creation, and delivery of projects, with less emphasis on capital markets and the management of cash flowing real assets. It is a good project specific complement to "Sustainable Cities: Urbanization, Infrastructure and Finance" at HBS which has more emphasis on infrastructure, large projects, and resource effectiveness. This course is distinct from other professional practice courses at the Harvard Design School due to its extensive combination of design, project delivery, and real estate economics, as well as its use of the HBS Case Study pedagogy.

Two men cited in investigation into bear shooting in KillingtonStaff Report | August 25,2014KILLINGTON—The investigation into the shooting of a bear in a residential Killington neighborhood has led to charges against two men.
Scott Keefer, 24, of Killington, and Aaron Roucoulet, 20, also of Killington, were cited for taking a bear by illegal means, according to a press release from the state Fish & Wildlife Department.
The charges stem from an investigation into the shooting of a black bear killed on Anthony Way, a residential area in town, earlier this month.
The bear wandered into the backyard of Wade Collins before it died. Collins said he found the bear several days later because of the smell.
Warden Timothy Carey was called to the scene and conducted the investigation.
Carey determined that the bear had been shot and killed with a rifle, according to the release issued Monday.
On Aug. 22, game wardens issued a search warrant for a Killington residence that was nearby to where the bear was found, the release stated.
Evidence found during the residential search combined with information gathered during the investigation led to the two arrests, according to the Fish & Wildlife Department.MORE IN This Just In

Introducing an Update to FanDuel's Thu-Fri NBA Contests
Starting this week, the two-day NBA contests that include Thursday and Friday games are going to be somewhat different than they have in the past. Instead of including the two Thursday games and all Friday games, contests will include the two Thursday games and only a selection of the earlier Friday games.
We've had many players on the site point out that Thursday lineups from top players were essentially getting copied in Friday contests, resulting in many identical lineups in tournaments. By not including some Friday games in the two-day contests, we'll be eliminating this as a viable strategy and ensuring a much greater variety of lineups.

Welcome !
Located in Medford, Massachusetts just 5 miles from downtown Boston, the Old Medford High Condominiums offer modern features in a unique building with a rich history.
The building was built in 1894 and originally functioned as the high school for the City of Medford. It was converted into condominiums in 1984.
Features include garaged parking, tennis courts, a sauna, an indoor heated pool, laundry facilities, and an onsite management office. We are primarily a homeowner-occupied community, with only 20% of units permitted to be rented at any given time.
Our pet policy is also a nice feature. Although no dogs are permitted, many residents have cats, birds, and other indoor animals. Such indoor pets remain inside the units at all times.

On Tuesday, Sept. 14, at 12 p.m., Oro Valley police responded to the area near the bridge over the Cañada del Oro Wash at Pusch View Lane where a town employee reported seeing graffiti. Once there, the officer noted numerous spray painted words, including profanities, on areas under the bridge. The officer took evidence photos of the graffiti. The town employee estimated the cost to remove the graffiti at $1,500 to $2,000. No arrests were made.
On Monday, Sept. 13, at 11 p.m., Oro Valley police responded to the area of Red Creek Drive near Red Creek Place following a call about possible gunshots. An officer responding to the call found the remains of a plastic bottle and aluminum foil lying in the street. The officer noted in a report that the items appeared to be the remnants of a homemade explosive. While inspecting the items, the officer heard the squeal of vehicle tires and saw a small car approach the area rapidly. The officer stopped the car and spoke with two juvenile boys inside. The officer asked the youths if they knew anything about the exploded items. They confirmed to the officer that they had blown up the bottle. Both boys were placed under arrest for misconduct involving a simulated explosive device and taken to Pima County Juvenile Detention Center.

Families will find a lot to like in the five-seat subcompact hatchback's 2015 Honda Fit, as it improves on its predecessor's already-roomy cabin and boasts a generous 52.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo space with the rear fold-flat seats down. However, the new Fit still isn't a great fit when it comes to installing car seats; in fact, it's gotten even more unfit in some categories. The last time we performed a Car Seat Check on the Fit was the 2013 version (there was no new 2014 model), with which we had some trouble — particularly with the seat belts' floppy bases, front passenger legroom and driver visibility due to the middle-seat tether anchor's position.
How many car seats fit in the second row? Two
What We Like
What We Don't
Grading Scale
A: Plenty of room for the car seat and the child; doesn't impact driver or front-passenger legroom. Easy to find and connect to Latch and tether anchors. No fit issues involving head restraint or seat contouring. Easy access to the third row.
B: Plenty of room. One fit or connection issue. Some problems accessing third row when available.
C: Marginal room. Two fit or connection issues. Difficult to access third row when available.
D: Insufficient room. Two or more fit or connection issues.
F: Does not fit or is unsafe.
About Cars.com's Car Seat Checks
Editors Jennifer Geiger, Jennifer Newman and Matt Schmitz are certified child safety seat installation technicians.
For the Car Seat Check, we use a Graco SnugRide Classic Connect 30 infant-safety seat, a Britax Marathon convertible seat and Graco TurboBooster seat. The front seats are adjusted for a 6-foot driver and a 5-foot-8 passenger. The three child seats are installed in the second row. The booster seat sits behind the driver's seat, and the infant and convertible seats are installed behind the front passenger seat.
We also install the forward-facing convertible in the second row's middle seat with the booster and infant seat in the outboard seats to see if three car seats will fit; a child sitting in the booster seat must be able to reach the seat belt buckle. If there's a third row, we install the booster seat and a forward-facing convertible. To learn more about how we conduct our Car Seat Checks, go here.
Parents should also remember that they can use the Latch system or a seat belt to install a car seat, and that Latch anchors have a weight limit of 65 pounds, including the weight of the child and the weight of the seat itself.

Court-Martials v. Military Commissions
I think this is a very strong criticism, and one I partially share. But I do have a couple of questions:
(1) Is there any reason to believe that allies like Germany would be satisfied by the use of general court martials instead of military commissions? I realize that there are certain procedural differences that may seem significant to military law experts, but to an outsider, it still looks like a rather stacked process against the detainees. Aren't critics of U.S. policy really looking for a civilian judicial process, either international or domestic? And would Geoffrey support such a civilian process?
(2) Most importantly, would the use of general court martials have obviated the need for a Guantanamo bay or Guantanamo Bay-like facility to detain combatants that may or may not be charged with crimes? Isn't it quite likely that allies like Germany would have protested any U.S. military detention center seeking to hold detainees no matter where it is located?
Anyway, just a quick response. I would be curious to hear Geoff's thoughts.

Over the past decade, Blake Shelton has become quite the popular name in country music. He has charted more than 22 singles, including 12 No. 1 hit singles. In 2011, he was nominated for two Grammy Awards and is up for his third nomination at this year's Grammys. Shelton has also won several awards, including four CMTs, three CMAs and two ACMs. His music carries often a mixture of softness and country rock that gets people's attention.
So where did this country sensation come from and how did he get his start? Well, he comes from a town in Oklahoma called Ada where he was born on June 18, 1976. There he was raised by his father Richard, who was a used car dealer, and his mother, a beauty salon owner. He has an older sister and brother, but tragically his brother died at the age of 24 in 1990. His love for singing started at an early age and he was playing the guitar by the age of 12. By his mid teens, Shelton wrote his first song and won a Denbo Diamond Award from his home state. In pursuit of his singing career, he moved to Nashville when he was 17.
After spending several years in Nashville, he finally landed a deal at Giant Records, where his debut single "Austin" was released in 2001. The song spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks. Eventually, Shelton transferred to Warner Bros. Records after Giant Records was closed. Warner then released Shelton's hit debut self-titled album, which received a gold certification from the RIAA.
By 2004, he had released two more albums, The Dreamer (2003) and Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill (2004). Both had No. 1 hit singles and were eventually gold certified, like his first album. With his next two albums, Pure BS (2007) and Startin' Fires (2008), he gained about the same amount of success. Startin' Fires became his first album to produce two consecutive No. 1 hits.
By 2011, success was knocking everywhere Shelton went. He released the album RedRiver Blue with the single "Honey Bee" leading it off. In the first week "Honey Bee" was out, it gained 138,000 downloads and was certified gold by its seventh week. It set the record for the fastest gold certification by a country male singer. Overall, the album produced three No. 1 hit songs.
Around that time, Shelton became one of four coaches on the hit show "The Voice" and has made quite an impression for the past three season, choosing the winning team twice. He also married fellow country singer Miranda Lambert on May 14, 2011, after obtaining her father's blessing.
No matter what he does, Blake Shelton is a man who succeeds. His music continues to be a driving force in modern country music and he carries a down-home presence in both musical and television performances. Shelton is a musician who I'm sure will be giving his all for years to come.

All Rise...
Had this man been Germany's leader, Judge George Hatch thinks WWII might never have occurred.
The Charge
"Ring-ring, ring-ring
The Case
One of my first reviews for DVD Verdict was for an extremely bad movie that paid homage to (or simply ripped off) Woody Allen's What's Up, Tiger Lily? trope. New dialogue was looped over a sci-fi stinker from the 1950s, and the director tried to make it contemporary, socially relevant, and funny. It failed in all three categories. But a few brief clips that came from another source caught my attention. They were part of a short film called Titler, with songs written and performed by Greg Roman and directed by Jonathan Bekemeier.
This Titler character sports the notorious Hitler mustache and bangs but has a penchant for wearing tasteful black evening gowns and very un-PC fur stoles, both accented with well-worn combat boots. "He re-imagines light-hearted Broadway show tunes and turns them into erotic odes to homosexuality, through a series of off-beat songs whose lyrics shed some light on his demented psyche."
By reading just a few of the lyrics, you will lose the impact of Greg Roman's inspired and hilarious performance, but here's a glimpse at each song. On this DVD, they are presented intentionally out of sequence in order to best condense the mood swings of Titler's tortured soul and his search for identity.
• "Nummer 05"
We raised him right
• "Nummer 27"
• "Nummer 09"
Pardon, Bonjour
• "Nummer 35"
Dogs do it, squirrels do,
Apparently, Titler has a kinky bisexual side because the next two songs are love notes to an overweight woman and another in a wheelchair.
• "Nummer 17"
She's got beautiful hair, and a real pretty face
• "Nummer 69"
Diane Chutkowski, Diane Chutkowski,
• "Nummer 31"
I hate myself; I wish I was dead
• "Nummer 41"
Das Ende
There's not a second wasted in this gut-busting short. The songs neatly segue into the sounds of machine fire, storm troopers marching, dogs barking, nose-diving Luftwaffe, frantic telegraph beeps, and a rant by der Fuhrer himself. Greg Roman throws himself into the role of Titler, and he's guaranteed to make you forget Charlie Chaplin's "Adenoid Hynkel" in The Great Dictator—at least for six minutes. If you're having some friends over for dinner and a movie in your home theater, hit them with this short before the main feature—perhaps, Schindler's List.
Running about the same time, Titler is much funnier than the "Springtime for Hitler" number in Mel Brooks's The Producers, and it's now available on DVD, along with other shorts of your choice from Picture Park. The full-screen transfer, shot in sepia for an interesting, antiquated look, is excellent. And the Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo brings out every note of Titler's musical angst. Titler has won several awards, including Honorable Mentions at Sundance and The New England Film and Video Festival. It also earned "Judges Special Recognition" at MicroCineFest.
This judge sees no reason to disagree. Not guilty!

Mexico Keeps Overnight Rate at 4.5% Amid Deflation
Mexico's central bank kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged for an eleventh straight meeting, matching the bank's longest pause, after consumer prices declined for the past three months.
Banco de Mexico's five-member board, led by Governor Agustin Carstens, today held its overnight rate at 4.5 percent. The decision matched the forecasts of all 17 economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
Mexico's central bank remains on hold because Latin America's second-largest economy is recovering more slowly than regional peers Brazil, Peru and Chile, which have all started raising borrowing costs, said Gabriel Casillas, chief economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in Mexico City.
"They're signaling that they're comfortably on hold," Casillas said in a telephone interview. "Banxico doesn't have a pretext to lower rates or raise them."
The peso fell 0.8 percent to 12.8708 at 10:27 a.m. New York time. The yield on Mexico's 10 percent peso bond due 2024 rose four basis points to 6.98 percent, according to Banco Santander SA. The price of the security fell to 127.35 centavos per peso.
Consumer prices in the $1.09 trillion economy fell 0.03 percent in June from a month earlier, led by lower costs for tomatoes, onions and grapes.
Annual Inflation
That pushed the annual inflation rate down to 3.69 percent in June, the lowest reading since December. Annual inflation will end 2010 at 4.66 percent, according to the median estimate in a central bank survey of economists published July 1.
Muted internal demand is keeping prices contained, bringing inflation within the central bank's target range of 2 percent to 4 percent, according to Sergio Martin, chief economist for Mexico at HSBC Holding Plc. That may lead the bank to keep rates on hold through the end of the year, he said.
"Domestic demand remains weak, and consumer credit is just now starting to open up again," Martin said.
Still, the bank said in a statement accompanying its decision today that domestic demand is starting to improve.
"Consumption and investment in the private sector continue at relatively low levels, although the trend seems to be showing a favorable change," the bank said.
Banamex Survey
The central bank will probably keep the overnight rate unchanged until March 2011, when it will increase borrowing costs by a quarter point, according to the median estimate of analysts in a July 6 survey by Citigroup Inc.'s Banamex unit.
The central bank kept borrowing costs unchanged at 7 percent for 11 straight months ending in April 2007.
Investors in Mexico face a "contained risk" that the bank may cut rates in 2010, even as regional peers such as Brazil and Chile started raising, said Alejandro Cuadrado, a Latin America economist at Societe Generale SA in New York.
"The balance of risks in Mexico in the past couple of months has changed significantly because of the good inflation numbers and the increased risks from the U.S.," Cuadrado said.
Sales at U.S. retailers dropped in June for a second month on consumers' concern about a lack of jobs and a loss of income, indicating the economic recovery dissipated heading into the second half of 2010. Mexico sells about 80 percent of its exports to the U.S.
Chile's central bank raised its benchmark rate by a half-point to 1.5 percent at its monthly monetary policy meeting yesterday. Last month, Chile increased its benchmark rate for the first time since 2008.
Brazil's central bank last month raised the benchmark Selic rate 0.75 percentage point for the second consecutive meeting, to 10.25 percent.
Retail Sales
Mexican retail sales fell 0.1 percent in April from the same month a year earlier, the country's statistics agency said June 18. The agency will report May retail sales July 21.
By contrast, Chile had year-on-year retail sales gains of 22.4 percent in April and 19.1 percent in May, while Brazil's retail sales increased 9.1 in April and 10.2 percent in May from the same year-earlier periods.
The central bank estimates Mexico's economy will grow as much as 5 percent this year after it contracted 6.5 percent in 2009, its biggest slump since 1932.
Mexico's gross domestic product expanded 4.3 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier.
That compares with Brazil's 9 percent first-quarter GDP expansion, Peru's 6 percent growth and a 1 percent increase in Chile, which was ravaged by an 8.8-magnitude earthquake in February.
Bank of America forecasts that Mexico's GDP will grow 4 percent this year, while Brazil's will expand 7.3 percent and Peru's by 6 percent. Chile's economy will grow 4 percent even as first-quarter growth was hurt by the earthquake.

Amgen Said to Consider Bid for Switzerland's Actelion
Amgen Inc., the world's largest biotechnology company, is considering a takeover offer for Actelion Ltd. to gain new medicines for rare diseases, and may approach the Swiss drugmaker as early as this week, said two people with knowledge of the matter.
Actelion and its advisers recently learned of a potential bid from Amgen, said one of the people, who declined to be named because the process is private. As a defensive measure, Chief Executive Officer Jean-Paul Clozel has discussed asking Roche Holding AG, Johnson & Johnson and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. to consider taking a minority stake, they said. Clozel, who has said he wants the company he founded to stay independent, has contacted Roche, one person said. Actelion rose 9.1 percent in Swiss trading.
Actelion, the world's biggest maker of pulmonary arterial hypertension drugs, may generate $2.1 billion by 2015 from Tracleer, as well as added sales from two experimental drugs in final-stage tests for the rare condition, which afflicts no more than 200,000 people worldwide, said Olav Zilian, an analyst with Helvea AG, in a telephone interview yesterday.
"Amgen has talked about geographic expansion and Actelion seems to have a strong business in Europe and in the specialty drug market, selling drugs for rare diseases at premium prices," said Eric Schmidt, an analyst with Cowen & Co. in New York, in a telephone interview yesterday.
No Decision
David Polk, a spokesman for Amgen, declined to comment on the company's potential interest in Actelion. "As part of its ordinary course of business, the company is in regular dialogue with other industry participants," Actelion said in a statement today. Roland Haefeli, a spokesman for Actelion, didn't return a call and e-mail seeking comment.
Jeffrey Leebaw, a spokesman for Johnson & Johnson, and Jennifer Fron Mauer, a spokeswoman for Bristol-Myers, also declined to comment. "As usual we would not comment on such market rumors," Roche Chief Executive Officer Severin Schwan said in an interview today. Clozel, a former Roche scientist, founded Actelion in 1997 to develop medicines that Roche had given up on.
Amgen, based in Thousand Oaks, California, hasn't made a final decision and a formal offer may not emerge, one of the people said.
Actelion rose 4.55 Swiss francs to 54.60 francs at the 5:30 p.m. close of trading in Zurich, the biggest gain since Oct. 8. Amgen declined 16 cents to close at $53.87 in Nasdaq Stock Market trading.
'Blocking Position'
Actelion, based in Allschwil, Switzerland, has a market value of 7.1 billion francs ($7.1 billion). The company's board formed a committee to consider strategic alternatives this year and hired Moelis & Co. for advice after a share-price decline left the company vulnerable to a takeover. Credit Suisse Group AG is advising the company, while Lazard Ltd. is working with Amgen.
"Actelion is clearly trying to pull a fast one by negotiating a blocking position with Roche," said Guy Wyser-Pratte, head of the New York-based Wyser-Pratte Management Co., an Actelion investor. Actelion could be worth 70 Swiss francs a share in an acquisition, he said.
Amgen may use acquisitions to expand outside the U.S., and to gain products in areas beyond its current focus in cancer and immunology, Roger Perlmutter, Amgen's executive vice president for research and development, said in a Nov. 15 telephone interview.
Amgen's Cash
"When we look out at the world, we would like to expand our programs to other countries where we're relatively narrow," Perlmutter said. "A company that has an effective R&D organization in an area where we have not been active -- such as cardiology, neuroscience or infectious disease -- also might make sense."
Amgen had about $17 billion in cash and short-term investments as of Sept. 30. Over the past five years, Amgen has announced seven purchases with an average value of $561.4 million and an average premium of 32 percent. Its biggest deal was the $2.1 billion purchase of Abgenix Inc. in 2005, which gave Amgen the cancer drug Vectibix.
Amgen revenue fell last year as its top-seller, Enbrel for arthritis, faced new competition and its anemia drugs, Aranesp and Epogen, dropped for the fourth straight year after being linked to heart attacks. Actelion could provide steady revenue growth, Zilian said.
"One upside with Actelion is that you could continue to grow the pulmonary arterial hypertension market because it's still only a minority of people that are diagnosed and treated," Zilian said. "For a company that wants to be present in the market for lung disease, the specialist sales force is really important and you'd already have that with Actelion."
Actelion got about 85 percent of its revenue last year from Tracleer, which has dominated the market for pulmonary arterial hypertension, or PAH, since it won approval in 2001. The medicine generated 1.51 billion francs in sales in 2009. PAH is a potentially fatal condition that causes high blood pressure in the artery moving blood from the heart to the lungs.
Tracleer works by blocking the hormone endothelin, which is elevated in the plasma and lung tissue of people with pulmonary hypertension. Endothelin is a potent blood vessel constrictor that plays a role in other illnesses including kidney disease and cancer.
Actelion's stock fell this year after disappointing clinical trials. In March, the company's efforts to expand use of Tracleer suffered a setback when the drug didn't meet the goal of a clinical test on patients with a rare lung ailment. The drugmaker also said Sept. 27 its clazosentan medicine failed to meet the main goal of a study in patients who had suffered from bleeding in the brain.
Actelion's Pipeline
Actelion also has four compounds in the third and final stage of tests generally needed for regulatory approval. Two of those experimental medicines, macitentan and selexipag, are designed to treat PAH.
"The attraction of buying Actelion would be that you'd have the dominant player in PAH and, if you believe that macitentan will come good, you'd see the longevity of that franchise substantially increased," Samir Devani, an analyst at Nomura Code in London, said a telephone interview yesterday.
Johnson & Johnson, of New Brunswick, New Jersey, in April 2009 won U.S. approval of Simponi, a rheumatoid arthritis treatment injected less frequently than Enbrel.
Sales of Amgen's anemia drugs Aranesp and Epogen fell 21 percent to $5.2 billion last year from a high of $6.6 billion in 2006 after cardiovascular risks began to emerge in 2007.

You're not the only one upset that Edgar Wright is no longer directing "Ant-Man": Star Michael Douglas is pretty bummed, too.
The actor expressed his remorse at seeing Wright go during a recent roundtable discussion, in which Douglas opened up about shooting such a high-profile Marvel project.
"Yeah, he's a wonderful talent. It was very disappointing, yeah," Douglas told Collider of Wright's abrupt departure earlier this year from the quirky superhero project, which the director had shepherded from the beginning.
"It was a big disappointment and more so for him because he had a lot of years invested and he was really the one initially who got them to even consider it, you know, the screenplay that he wrote," Douglas continued. "I'm not the producer on it and I'm an actor for hire, and, you know, Marvel certainly has a pretty amazing track record, rightly or wrongly, so I think it just was that kind of combination where although they like the idea of the individual and somebody with Edgar's individual spirit and everything, maybe just collided with an operation — I think they're all on relatively decent terms."
While Douglas certainly isn't the first person to empathize with Wright following his exit — Marvel directors Joss Whedon and James Gunn also threw their support behind the filmmaker — it's interesting that he would speak publicly about his disappointment when he's set to start filming with replacement director Peyton Reed soon. Still, his remarks were carefully considered, and certainly not inflammatory in any way; if anything, it shows he's a class act who's willing to acknowledge a loss of talent while still expressing excitement for his involvement in the project.
Douglas also told Collider that he's planning on making an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con, so expect him — and his other "Ant-Man" cohorts, perhaps? — to have more to say then.
"Ant-Man" is scheduled to hit theaters on July 17, 2015.

"In agriculture, not every problem is going to result in the use of a chemical. A lot of times it may result in the use of a technology, or a tool, and we have those as well, whereas around the home, most often, that's a lazy man's tool."
Dr. Don Renchie teaches continuing education classes to pesticide applicators.
"If you can give them information that helps them do a more effective job at it, for example today, calibrating their sprayers, so that they don't have off target movement of the pesticides contaminating the environment or harming other people's property, as well as making more direct target applications, it really does save money and make them more efficient."
Pesticides are usually associated with herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and rodenticides.
"But there's another class of pesticides known as disinfectants, and as a matter of fact, there's about 1.2 billion pounds of those products used on an annual basis, as compared to both industry, government, homeowners, and agriculture, 1.2 billion pounds of those conventional use pesticides."
And some homeowners believe if a little bit is good, a lot must be better.
"Those of us that are around the house, we generally use more volume for the acreage treated than we in agriculture, so while we in agriculture may account for 85% of the herbicide use, herbicides around the home are not used to produce anything to eat, they're simply used as a lazy man's tool to make things look better."
Renchie says profit margins in agriculture are too small for producers to waste money on chemical use if they're not absolutely necessary.
"I think we all know farming and ranching is a game of throwing money on the ground and praying something good will come out of it."

Communications could have been lost through a fire but the
plane would not then have continued flying another seven
hours, former pilots have told the ABC's Four Corners
As a Chinese navy survey ship prepares to start mapping the
seabed off Western Australia where the crash site is believed
to lie, the ABC has looked at how the search has failed so
Asuad Khan, brother-in-law of MH370 captain Zaharie Ahmad
Shah, rejected suggestions the captain was unfit to fly
because of personal problems.
Mr Khan also rejected speculation Captain Zaharie's wife
moved out just before the flight, saying it was normal for
her to take the children and stay elsewhere while her husband
was away.
He did not know if his brother-in-law had a girlfriend - as
some reports have indicated amid the struggle to find a
motive or a cause for the plane's disappearance.
"Why not? We can marry four. We are Muslim," Mr Kahn said.
Officials believe the Boeing 777 veered far off course during
a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 and crashed
in the southern Indian Ocean.
The final communication occurred at 1.19am.
In the next 90 seconds, the aircraft's transponder, which
indicates identify, altitude, speed and destination, either
failed or was turned off.
A separate system, transmitting technical data about the
aircraft's engines and other systems, also stopped working.
"It just points to one thing: human interference," said Nik
Huzlan, former Malaysia Airlines chief pilot.
Then the aircraft with 239 people aboard changed course,
flying west across the Malaysian peninsular before heading
south over the Indian Ocean, where it's believed to have

It was observed on Malaysia's military radar. Even though
contacted by Malaysia's civil aviation authority about a
missing airliner, the military opted not to send one of its
aircraft to investigate.
"If you're not going to shoot it down, what's the point of
sending it up," Malaysian defence minister Datuk Hishamuddin
Hussein told the ABC.
"Well, the Americans would," he added.

Winners & Losers
The price of gold may be flying so far in 2016, but the yellow metal is still trailing the miners plucking it from the ground.
KITCO NEWS -- After rallying last week, gold prices settled slightly lower Monday morning as the U.S. dollar posted gains, but one CEO said he's not too phased by it.
The continued weakness of the Chinese market, and the uncertainty surrounding European and U.S. equity valuations, remain supportive factors for the gold market.

Chris Hicks: Pioneer filmmaker Ray Harryhausen paved the way for your favorite sci-fi, fantasy movies
His next film, and his first in color, was "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad," which was an enormous success and firmly established Harryhausen as the undisputed king of movie monsters and fantasy storytelling, with such unforgettable creatures as a raging giant Cyclops, a huge two-headed bird called a "roc" and, of course, the famous skeleton swordsman. There is also a genie envisioned as a young boy, a beautiful princess who is shrunken and kidnapped, and many other magical elements that were utterly captivating in 1958, all set to one of the most enchanting musical scores of the great composer Bernard Herrmann.
When "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad" came out, I was 10, and it was the first movie that I went back to see again and again before it left my friendly neighborhood movie theater. For my parents, once was enough, so I nagged them to let me go back with friends, and we did so over and over until the film eventually moved on.
Watching "Voyage" today, it's amazing how well it holds up. I'm sure the special effects would seem a bit precious to young audiences. But if there had been no Harryhausen, there would be no Lucas, no Cameron, no Whedon. And Harryhausen was every bit as witty and imaginative as any 21st century filmmakers.
Harryhausen may have reached a peak with that film but he kept on climbing anyway, especially with his next two pictures, "Mysterious Island" (1961) and "Jason and the Argonauts" (1963), the latter upping the ante on "Voyage's" most famous sequence by pitting Jason against an army of skeletons.
None of the rest of his films were quite up there with those three, but they were still very enjoyable fantasies that also continue to have an audience today and sell well on home video: "First Men in the Moon" (1964), based on the H.G. Wells story; another dinosaur epic, "One Million Years B.C." (1966), most famous for the image of Raquel Welch in a fur bikini; "The Valley of Gwangi" (1969), an interesting blend of dinosaur thrills and a conventional Western; and two more "Sinbad" epics, "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad" (1974) and "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger" (1977), the latter co-starring young Jane Seymour.
In 1981, Harryhausen's final film, "Clash of the Titans," was released with wonderfully realized Greek mythological creatures, including Pegasus, the winged horse; giant scorpions that attack the film's hero, Perseus; the snake-haired Medusa; vultures; two-headed dogs; the half-man, half-creature Calibos; and the climactic battle with the Kraken. Unfortunately, the live-action elements were less successful, especially with wooden Harry Hamlin in the lead role, and despite big stars with little to do, including Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Claire Bloom, Burgess Meredith, etc. (The film was remade in 2010, computer graphics-style.)
"Clash" was Harryhausen's final movie and though his work was as memorable as ever, the film flopped in the wake of "Star Wars," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and other special-effects epics that made stop-motion animation seem quaint to modern early-1980s audiences.
But his legacy was assured; his fan base never diminished; and many modern filmmakers cite him as a major influence in the work they do today.
And all of Harryhausen's films remain worth watching, many of them every bit as mesmerizing as anything in this modern, high-tech, big-budget, special effects-saturated movie world.

"Public Diplomacy has become a highly competitive discipline as global state and non-state actors alike have embraced the idea of influencing foreign publics and recruiting sympathizers on the web and through mass media," writes Dean Cheng in a recent Heritage Foundation research paper, "Winning Without Fighting: Chinese Public Opinion Warfare and the Need for a Robust American Response." China, along with other global competitors of the United States from Russia to Iran, and terrorist recruiters like Al Qaeda and its affiliates, are all heavily engaged in promoting their ideas and causes. To keep up, the U.S. government therefore needs to refocus its own efforts and resources to respond to the ideological and informational challenges of today.
Join us for a discussion of public diplomacy competition in the world today, and what the U.S. should do to win more hearts and minds around the world.

How Diabetes Affects the Eyes and Vision
Although individuals with diabetes are more likely to develop cataracts at a younger age and are twice as likely to develop glaucoma as are non-diabetics, the primary vision problem caused by diabetes is diabetic retinopathy, the leading cause of new cases of blindness and low vision in adults aged 20-65:
- "Retinopathy" is a general term that describes damage to the retina.
- The retina is a thin, light-sensitive tissue that lines the inside surface of the eye. Nerve cells in the retina convert incoming light into electrical impulses. These electrical impulses are carried by the optic nerve to the brain, which interprets them as visual images.
- Diabetic retinopathy occurs when there is damage to the small blood vessels that nourish tissue and nerve cells in the retina.
- "Proliferative" is a general term that means to grow or increase at a rapid rate by producing new tissue or cells. When the term "proliferative" is used in relation to diabetic retinopathy, it describes the growth, or proliferation, of abnormal new blood vessels in the retina. "Non-proliferative" indicates that this process is not yet occurring.
- Proliferative diabetic retinopathy affects approximately 1 in 20 individuals with the disease.
Four Stages of Diabetic Retinopathy
According to the National Eye Institute, diabetic retinopathy has four stages:
- Mild non-proliferative retinopathy: At this early stage, small areas of balloon-like swelling occur in the retina's tiny blood vessels.
- Moderate non-proliferative retinopathy: As the disease progresses, some blood vessels that nourish the retina become blocked.
- Severe non-proliferative retinopathy: Many more blood vessels become blocked, which disrupts the blood supply that nourishes the retina. The damaged retina then signals the body to produce new blood vessels.
- Proliferative retinopathy: At this advanced stage, signals sent by the retina trigger the development of new blood vessels that grow (or proliferate) in the retina and the vitreous, which is a transparent gel that fills the interior of the eye. Because these new blood vessels are abnormal, they can rupture and bleed, causing hemorrhages in the retina or vitreous. Scar tissue can develop and can tug at the retina, causing further damage or even retinal detachment.
In addition, fluid can leak into the macula, the small sensitive area in the center of the retina that provides detailed vision. This fluid can cause macular edema (or swelling), which can occur at any stage of diabetic retinopathy, although it is more likely to occur as the disease progresses.
Symptoms of diabetic retinopathy can include:
- Blurred or double vision
- Flashing lights, which can indicate a retinal detachment
- A veil, cloud, or streaks of red in the field of vision, or dark or floating spots in one or both eyes, which can indicate bleeding
- Blind or blank spots in the field of vision
Ocular and functional effects of diabetic retinopathy can include any or all of the following:
- Fluctuating vision in response to changing blood glucose levels; vision can change from day-to-day, or from morning to evening
- Blurred central vision from macular edema can interfere with reading
- Decreased visual acuity can interfere with seeing the markings on an insulin syringe or the display on a standard blood glucose monitor
- Irregular patches of vision loss or "blind spots" can make it difficult to judge the size of food portions on a plate.
- Decreased depth perception, in combination with decreased visual acuity, can make it difficult to see curbs and steps, or walk to the diabetes clinic.
Personal Stories
- Vivian, Living with Diabetes and Visual Impairment
Vivian was diagnosed with diabetes twenty years ago, at age 58. Ten years later, she was diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy and spinal stenosis. She talks about how she is living and coping with her diabetes and some of the tools and techniques she uses.

Vincent Wyckoff: Tales of a Letter Carrier
class=img_thumbleft>A letter carrier in south Minneapolis for 15 years, Vincent Wyckoff sees the full range of humanity on a daily basis. InBeware of the Cat: And Other Encounters of a Letter Carrier
, he recounts some of his more memorable moments--from heartwarming elderly birthday parties, to violent attack cats, to delivering a lost letter mailed from Saigon in 1976.
City Pages: What drove you to write this book?
Vincent Wyckoff: For years I told these stories around the dinner table when our children were younger. It was an attempt to get them to talk about their day. How was school today? Fine. What did you do? Nothing. My stories were an attempt to create a dialogue. A couple years ago, my wife asked about a story I'd related years earlier. It took a while for me to remember, so I decided to write them all down before they were lost for good.
CP: You have so many stories packed into each chapter. Were there any great ones that failed to make the book?
VW: All the little anecdotes and short vignettes just popped up as I wrote the main story lines. They were either too sweet or poignant to leave out. On the other hand, there were the depressing stories, with less-than-desirable characters, that for the sake of this book I chose to omit.
CP: The tone of your book is very optimistic. Do you ever find it hard to be positive in such a hi-stress job?
VW: Much of the tone comes from the folks on the route. After all, these are their stories. But if you remember Newman, from the Seinfeld TV show, when he described how the mail just keeps coming and coming, or Cliff Klaven on Cheers, when he laments his hard day because the Sears catalogs came out, I can relate to that! But you have a choice how you want to see things. I mentioned Lady in one of the stories, a big black lab that adores me. Every single day she greets me, and her loyalty and obvious affection would bring a smile to even the staunchest curmudgeon. It's all about what you choose to focus on.
CP: How do you feel about the shift from letter writing to the Internet? Would a "Saigon-letter" be able to happen today?
VW: It's true that first-class letter rate volume is down. But as long as there are devoted employees doing all they can to get a letter to its proper destination, a "Saigon"-type letter will always be possible.
CP: A new guy comes into the post office, his first day of work. What do you tell him? VW: My advice: Prepare to lose 20 pounds. Drop the ego, and focus on survival.
Vincent Wyckoff reads from Beware of Cat tonight at the Lyndale United Church of Christ. Free. 7:30 p.m. 810 W. 31st St., Minneapolis. For more info call Magers & Quinn at 612.822.4611.

In Java, to unload an object from the heap, is it sufficient to simply write
myObject = null; and the GC will take care of it from there?
EDIT : Ok let me explain my use case, since everyone is assuming that I shouldn't explicitly null objects, I shouldn't worry about it, etc. That's missing the point. I am serializing an object, and am "consuming" a field of this object before I serialize it in order to save disk space. And before you jump down my throat for this, too, I cannot declare this field
transient because I am including this field in the object sometimes, but not others.
Does setting an object to
null have any effect on the GC?
