Analysts at RBC have downgraded shares of Valeant and hacked their price target on the stock.
In a note Tuesday, the analysts lowered their price target on Valeant's stock to $85 from $194 — a 56% downgrade.
However, their new price target is 29% higher than where the stock closed on Monday. In July 2015, the firm's price target on the stock was as high as $279.
The downgrade comes right after a rough couple of days for Valeant, culminating in the company's announcement Monday that the SEC is investigating it.
Shares had been tanking following news last weekend that the company was postponing its earnings call with investors and scrapping its previous earnings guidance.
RBC also lowered its rating on the stock to "Sector Perform" from "Outperform" and said "unresolved issues" limit their ability to remain super-bullish on the company.
RBC's Douglas Miehm and Joel Hurren wrote (emphasis ours),
While we believe the company has several high quality businesses, our ability to have high conviction is impaired at present. We had previously highlighted headline risk in Q1 and Q2 of 2016 but expected strengthening operations through the year to lead to multiple expansion later in 2016.
While we still believe operations will improve, especially given the recently announced, unique, Walgreens access program, our lack of visibility on various issues makes it difficult to call for an expansion in the multiple at present. As such, the foundation for our previous Outperform rating no longer applies.
Valeant shares fell 4% on Tuesday to trade near $63.
The stock has lost more than half its value since last October when Citron Research shone the spotlight on questionable billing and distribution practices with the specialty pharmacy Philidor. The company later cut ties with Philidor, as the government also got involved in scrutinizing its practices.
Here's RBC's list of everything else that needs to be resolved:
Valeant is likely to trade at a discount to peers until several issues are addressed. These items include the delayed 10-K filing and Q4/15 results, the withdrawal of guidance, the ongoing investigations, the Ad Hoc Committee's report, and the company's potentially strained relationships with constituents in the U.S. healthcare system (managed care organizations and PBMs). Additional undisclosed issues (if any) may also require resolution.
There's also the pending lawsuit against R&O Pharmacy, a member of its distribution network.
That's quite a laundry list of "unresolved issues" for CEO Mike Pearson, who returned Sunday after being away on medical leave since late December.

A writer has two worlds; their everyday life and the world they create. It's a solitaire life as you sit at the computer weaving your characters and their lives together. There are times you struggle getting the words from your mind to paper in a coherent and legible fashion as the ideas swarm in your head. Other times you leave the imaginary world for a glimpse of reality and the challenge is to return to the make-believe before you inspiration evaporates.
I'm currently in the latter situation. For several reasons I've drifted away from the story I'm working on. Now the story and characters are miles away and I need to start at the beginning to regain the thread of their lives.
Once a month, three of my writer friends and I get together and discuss what we are working on or ideas for publicity. I had several reasons to decline the other nights meeting, from sickness, to not having anything to discuss as my story is still at the beginning and only a portion is in the computer. So I stalled in contacting them as I felt I was letting them down with a no show or more importantly letting myself down. Deep in my heart I knew I could and should do better. So at the last minute I went to our scheduled meeting.
Only other writer's truly understand the complexities of both worlds and the separation of the two. As I sat listening to my three friends I was reminded we all struggle with family, aging parents and the need to put words on paper. Writing and/or reading is what balances the rest of our lives and keeps us sane when the family troubles seem unbearable. I've wondered how I'd return to my story after such a long hiatus. My friend bluntly stated I needed to BIC—Butt In Chair. Her statement reminded me of an article I read a long time ago in the Reader's Digest on how average people succeed and a quote I'd taped to my desk. The quote is long since gone but the idea is similar to hers: you glue your butt in the chair and stick with every project doing the best you can. So today I'm gluing myself in my chair and returning to Until We Met Again.
I'd like to thank my friends Genene Valleau, Chris Kramer and Chris Young for always keeping me down to earth and reminding me of the pot of glue.

Top 5 tourist attractions in Victoria
With cities like Melbourne and easy access to the stilluntamed Tasmania, it is easy to see why tourists flock to this southern Australian province. Here are five of the top destinations to visit while you a re in Victoria.
One mainstream attraction is the Melbourne Museum the largest museum in the southern hemisphere. First opened in March 1854, this museum is located in the Carlton Gardens, and is next to the Royal Exhibition Building. If time allows, they a re both worth a visit as well. For now, enter the museum to take in a number of dinosaur skeletons. Whether you a re old or young, these towering skeletons complement the skeleton of a Pygmy Blue Whale and the Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre, among many other attractions.
August 2015 the museum is hosting a National Science Week for schools. Students will be able to meet directly with scientists representing astronomy, palaeontology, mammalogy, ornithology, herpetology, entomology, and marine biology. Bendigo Coachlines offers special rates for student excursions. Please contact one of our representatives today at 03 5446 7018 to make a reservation.
Speaking of animals, the Werribee Open Range Zoo is a fascinating opportunity to get close to your favourites. The zoo, only 30 minutes from Melbourne, features 225 hectares of gorillas, a pride of lions, monkeys, cheetahs, and even a family of hippopotamus! A series of Wild Encounters gives you a behindthescenes look at their lives, getting you closer to an animal than you thought possible. The Slumber Safari makes coming back for a second day that much easier, and is a great chance to spend more time with your favorites after seeing them all.
Winter 2015 has a special exhibit of monkeys. Swing into Werribee Open Range Zoo for the ultimate hands on learning experience for your little monkey. Children can enjoy a special keeper talk daily at 10:45 and learn all about the Vervet Monkeys and how different their personalities are. Activities include monkey dress up, monkey medicine, and monkey stories to read and share.
The activities at the zoo change from time to time and visiting their website directly for the latest activities is advisable. Just a friendly reminder that d kids are free on all Victorian Government holidays, weekends, and public holidays.
While Melbourne has the usual selection of department stores and shopping areas, head to Yarraville Market for handmade Australian crafts you are be proud to display in your own house. The market is held the 2nd weekend of every month from 10am4pm at the Masonic Hall in Yarraville, and features dozens of boutique shops along with the Sun Theatre. If your timing works out, this is a perfect chance to connect with local craft makers and artisans.
Shoppers will be delighted with the hand made selection of skincare products, knitted and crocheted clothing and housewares, jewellry, hats, photography, aromatherapy products, and children's clothing.
All items at the market are made in Australia or are hand made. There is also face painting available to keep the kids entertained.
Geelong, the second largest city in Victoria has plenty to see. For many, the Adventure Park will be the biggest draw as the largest amusement park in the province. Between the water rides, gokarts, and the speedy Aqua Racer, there is plenty of ways to get the adrenaline flowing. When it is time to slow down, there are 21 hectares worth of land to make a picnic or relax by the lake.
There are a number of kid zones like Bonito's Bay and Waterplay which is a Caribbean Pirate Adventure. Gold Rush Rapids which is a race 110 metres long, and a tiny tots splashzone.
They have specials for school excursions, birthday parties and groups. Let us know what kind of adventure you are looking to have and we are happy to help you book your day at Adventure Park.
Geelong is also home to the start of the Great Ocean Road. Taking the scenic route has never looked so pretty.
A final destination to take in is Northern Melbourne, an area full of folks who love what is new or edgy. Head towards the Queen Victorian Market to see what is new in the historic landmark, or take in the former North Melbourne Town Hall, now known as Arts House. This is where performers come to play for an offbeat audience. Make room in your schedule for this wonderful province!
The winter night market is every Wednesday from 510 pm and you can enjoy fashion, food, bars, music, art, shopping, and so much more. Educational excursions are available for school groups aged 712. There are two distinct tours available for the older kids or the younger ones.
Both tours focus on the history of the Queen Victoria Market which has been around since the 1880s, the food as well as the nutrition sold at the Queen Victoria Market, and sustainability.
As a coach company we are hyper aware of the sustainability movement and are proud to offer group transportation which is the most cost effective, environmentally friendly way for groups to travel currently. Book an excursion for groups of 4400 throughout Victoria. Bendigo Coachlines will assist your group with its itinerary whether a private group, educational group, or corporate. Bendigo has the experience and the vehicles to cater to all your customer transport needs in and around Victoria and Melbourne.

Host Teams: Jason Schatz, Anne Ortega
For my project, I want to work through some blender tutorials and to make a 2d figure, a 3d figure, and either a reflective or transparent figure. As I work through the tutorial, I will make an annotated tutorial of helpful additions and shortcuts designed to expedite a new user to the same blender capabilities as myself.
Milestone 1: Work through "Blender 3D: Noob to Pro" to the point of being able to complete the remaining milestones
DWP Comments:
List the topics that you covered in the tutorial - how far did you get?
Are there any images that you produced as part of doing the tutorial that you can post here?
I ended up stopping with the tutorial when it got into bones due to it getting into things more complex or just plain irrelevant to my purpose. I will say the tutorial was necessary but misguided at times. I guess this is where my annotated tutorial comes in though.
I'll post the few basic models made in the tutorial when I'm back on my home pc. It's just a basic person and a house.
Milestone 2: Create 2D and 3D figures
NOTHING HERE as of 5/1/11 DWP
Milestone 3: Create reflective and transparent figures
NOTHING HERE as of 5/1/11 DWP
Milestone 4: Complete annotated tutorial
I followed the Blender: Noob to Pro tutorial found here:
My annotated tutorial is designed to use this tutorial while giving you quick references to expedite your learning process. The learning process starts with describing 3d coordinate systems with rotations, transformations, and scaling. If you're unfamiliar with any of this or could use a refresher on how they work, go to this link:
The blender tutorial uses a specific notation found at this link below. With this, you'll be able to comprehend exactly what their abbreviations for keys mean. It's fairly intuitive but it's still a good idea to review them.
This tutorial offers specific tips for non standard equipment and Mac/Linux systems here. If you have windows, and a 3 button mouse with a numpad, then skip this section.
The next several pages are just designed to get the user used to their new interface. It's a bit daunting at first but it's actually quite beautifully designed once you use it. If you are curious about customizing the user interface now or later, read these more carefully. If not, just lightly read through to know what you're about to be using. Stop when you get to the View Windows section.
The view windows section begins to get into the main window of the program. Familiarize yourself with the window as you proceed through the tutorial.
###This page has EVERYTHING that you'll need to know. Fall back here if you don't remember how to maneuver through the interface. Chances are, it's here.###
The next page basically tells you this:
"Which leads us to the difference between the two object duplication commands, SHIFT + D and ALT + D : the former duplicates both the object datablocks and the object data datablocks (though this can be controlled in your User Preferences), while the latter only duplicates the object datablock. What that means is that in the first case the two objects are truly independent, but in the second case the new object continues to share the same object data datablock so a change in one will result in a change in both of them. So, for instance, if you use ALT + D on a mesh object and edit the vertices, edges or faces on one copy, the other copy will also be affected."
In short,
Shift+D will create an independent copy of your selection
Alt+D will create a copy that will change all other "Alt+D" copies of itself, including the original
Don't bother reading the rest unless you're enamored with memory management.
This page and the next few to follow will walk you through, step by step, on how to make a model of a house. I stopped after that but you're free to create the person model after. You'll be more than capable of getting your hands dirty with your own models after the house though.
Remember, if you're lost on controls go here!
The materials tab on the properties window has all the functionality you'll need to add color, transparancy, and reflectivity to your materials. The tuturial didn't really emphasize it's importance. I'm sure you'll find it very intuitive as most of the settings are just on sliders to change color intesity, alpha levels and reflectivity.

I have some exciting travel coming up, starting last Friday. Work travel isn't something I get to do very often, and even though it can be exhausting, it's nice to take a break from regular routine and get stimulated in other ways.
Thursday I had a day off, and then Friday I flew out to Baltimore for a tree-planting event at Morgan University. Most of the time, I'm at my desk pushing code around on the website or sharpening photos, but every so often I get to get out and put my hands in the dirt. Except this time, I was mostly taking photos. A day later and I'm back home recuperating from some brutal weather. My shoes were soaked through, and I had to go the rest of the day, including two flights, in wet socks.
About a week later, I'll be off to the east coast yet again for An Event Apart in Boston; three crazy days of web design. Just the kind of geeks I can really have fun getting down with. Last year, I got to meet up with old friends* like dylanw, naepalm and notorious digerati cartoonist cssquirrel, who happen to be residents of Seattle, where I attended the event. Even though it's sold out, I've come up empty with Boston connections. I don't know anybody who's going to be there, besides the speakers, which I have to admit I still find slightly intimidating, even though they're really just normal geeks like me (except maybe Andy Clarke). So if you're going to be in the area the first week in May, send me a note.
Either way, I'm hoping to meet a lot of cool new people. Plus, I'm stoked to get some new raw denim jeans at a store that's just down the block from where I'll be staying.
And this doesn't even cover a couple other tentative trips I'm planning before summer hits.

While President Obama's kitchen garden is a great addition to the White House lawn, something is still missing that could help make the presidential home more eco-friendly and encourage others to do the same. But what is it? According to Project Laundry List a clothes line would be a welcome symbol to the country to encourage people to stop using tumble dryers. A petition has been launched to urge the First Family to set an example by installing a line to hang out their laundry. Such a simple idea could do a lot to save energy across the whole country.Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
Photo by Shutterstock
According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), six percent of residential consumption is a result of tumble dryers. But this, says Project Laundry List, does not account for the 18% of people who dry with gas, nor the huge number of people and companies who go to laundromats or shared laundry areas. Then there are the added benefits that come with outdoor natural drying, such as bleaching whites without using harsh chemicals.
Perhaps the First Family already have a clothesline running across their lawn. But why not go public about it? This would help show just one of many ways that families can save energy and money. For more information or to join the cause and sign the petition, take a look at these websites below.

Course Facts
Jack Nicklaus (Signature)
Jack Nicklaus
Open For Play (1985)
200 Clubhouse Rd
Breckenridge, CO 80424 USA
Breckenridge Golf Club Online:
Course Overview
The Town of Breckenridge can boast that it is the only municipality in the world to own 27-holes of Jack Nicklaus designed golf. The 27-championship holes of golf are situated in a beautiful mountain valley at an elevation of 9324'. At this elevation the golf ball flies farther and straighter than at lower elevations, as there is less air resistance. The air not only allows you to hit the ball farther, but also offers temperatures that make you forget about the heat of the summer. Typical daytime summer temperatures range from 65 degrees to 80 degrees. Quite rarely will the temperature exceed 80.
Since the opening of the course, national and regional honors have been bestowed on Breckenridge. Current honors awarded by the Colorado Golfer (the State Golf Newspaper) for 2007 include; Best Mountain Course, and Toughest Mountain Course. Golf Digest rates Breckenridge as a 4 1/2 -Star "Places To Play" facility for 2006/2007. Locally Breckenridge was awarded the "Best of Summit County" by the readers of the Summit Daily Newspaper.
The course has four sets of tees so that each golfer may select the challenge equal to their game. From the Nicklaus Tees the course can play as long as 7,276 yards. Each of the three nines, The Bear, The Beaver, and The Elk, offer panoramic mountain views. The three nines are also similar in difficulty so any combination is sure to test your golfing skills.
Whether you are a golfer or not you will enjoy the "mountain living ambience" of the clubhouse. Have lunch or a beverage on the sunny deck or enjoy the cozy confines next to the fireplace. Whichever you choose you will be sure to be more relaxed at the end of your stay.

Church School Classes
Church school classes for children in Pre-kinder-
garten (age 4) through Grade 8
meet most Sundays,
September through May.
On the first Sunday of each month, the children go
directly upstairs to their church school classes when
they arrive. Later in the hour, those in second grade
and older move into the church to sit with their
families to participate in Communion. On the other
Sundays of the month, the children attend the first
part of the 10:00 am worship service with their
families. After the children's message, students
move upstairs to their class-rooms. Dismissal is at
There are several opportunities for inter-gener-
ational worship during the year, especially at special
holiday times such as Reformation Sunday, Thanks-
giving, Christmas and Easter. Year-round crib/
toddler care is provided in the Nursery for young
children, birth to age 4.
Church School Curriculum
The Whole People of God curriculum is based on the
three-year cycle of Scripture readings from the
Common Lectionary, Revised. In worship and in the
classroom, parents and children are often reflecting
on the same Scriptures, which encourages continued
conversations and questions at home. The Bible is a
living, vibrant model of people who have struggled to
understand God's will in their time and place, which
can urge us to confront the same hard questions of
our lives and time in history.
Spring Term
During the spring term, the entire Church School
studies a particular biblical truth or story in depth.
Multi-age classes explore the chosen theme in a
variety of art forms. Recent topics have been Esther,
Jonah, the Creation, the Ten Commandments, and
the Good Samaritan.
Morning Offering
There are no fees or dues required to participate in
Church School. However, the children are encour-
aged to practice regular giving as part of their com-
mitment to the work of the church. The offering can
be in the form of money or a non-perishable food
item for OWL's Kitchen.
Through the Year
The Crop Walk, intergenerational worship, a family
Advent workshop and service, the Christmas
pageant, Christmas caroling to shut-ins, parent
discussion groups, potluck suppers and other
opportunities for fellowship are some of the family-
oriented activities that take place during the year.
We welcome sug-gestions for new ideas and projects.
Church School Staff
Barbara Collins is the Coordinator of Christian Edu-
cation. She holds a certificate from the Connecticut
Conference of the United Church of Christ as an
Associate in Christian Education and has over thirty
years of experience in religious education.
Opportunities for Children and Families
Congregational Church of Salisbury, U.C.C.
is a Christian community of faith
which values people of all ages.
We welcome families from all church backgrounds.
Volunteer church school teachers serve on a rotating basis for five or six weeks at a time,
sometimes longer. Our teachers come from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences.
Some are "current" parents, some are not. All bring to the program a love of children and a
desire to share their faith.
New teachers are always welcome to join us. A less formal way to become acquainted and to
help with our program is to volunteer as an occasional aide in a classroom or in the Nursery.
A Heartwarming Story!
At the recent birthday party of a five-
year old member of our church
family, the boy was asked what gifts
he'd like to get for his birthday. He
responded that he really didn't need
any more toys, that he really didn't
need anything. He suggested instead
that contributions be made to the
OWL's Kitchen food basket in our
parish hall. Today that basket was full
to overflowing!
A powerful lesson from the youngest
among us!
"No matter who you are, no matter where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here!"

More than 34,000 driving lincences issued since 2008 are yet to be collected by applicants, the Driver and Vehicle Licencing Authority (DVLA) has revealed.
In terms of annual figures, the list is dominated by 4,629 persons who applied for driving licences between January and May this year.
Out of the number, the 37 DVLA office in Accra alone has 11,167 licences that are waiting to be collected.
Followed by Weija, 7,242; Kumasi, 4,282; Akim Oda, 2,350; Bekwai, I815; Mampong, 1,623; Nkawkaw, 1,412; Obuasi, 1352; Goaso, 1,278 and Bekwai, 1185.
Ghana News Headlines
For latest news in Ghana, visit Graphic Online news headlines page Ghana news page
Other DVLA offices on the list are Bolgatanga, Denu and Hohoe.
At a news conference in Accra yesterday, the Chief Executive Officer of the DVLA, Mr Kwasi Agyeman Busia, said the authority would soon publish the names of applicants whose licences were ready for collection in the national dailies.
He also announced the temporary freeze the Ministry of Transport had put on the roll-out of the new smart card licence, hitherto scheduled for July 18, this year.
The DVLA on June 7, announced it would from July 18, this year, introduce a new biometric driving licence.
The objective was to do away with fake licences by eliminatiing the middlemen, popularly known as 'goro boys' from the licensing regime.
Mr Busia told the Daily Graphic that the new licence, unlike the previous one, would be difficult to clone.
He explained that the launch had been suspended because of a communication lapse, and that a new date would be communicated to the public as soon as the hurdle was cleared.
Mr Busia added that the new system was meant to reduce inefficiencies associated with processing the licence and the time it took to get to the applicant.
"This combined with the fact that there were a lot of fake licences out there, made it necessary for a new one to be in circulation.
He explained the new system was started in 2014, with a huge investment that should not be allowed to go waste.
"When I came in, looking at the kind of investment we had made and the kind of invoices we had on the product that is yet to be marketed, it was worrisome. So I pushed the agenda that we should have it out as soon as we were technologically able, "he added.
Not revoking
Mr Busia, who refuted allegations that the old licence would be revoked when the new system became operational, said the authority had no intention of doing that.
"The rumour has been that we are revoking the current licence in operation on the date we have projected but that is not correct. You will only get a new one when you are doing an upgrade, renewal or it had expired.
"The idea that on July 18, you will bring your current licence to us and then get the smart card is just a myth," he added.
Not GH¢450
He also denied claims that the cost of renewing one's licence which is currently GH¢45 would jump to GH¢450.
"The talk about being required to pay GH¢450 is not accurate. We hired a consultant to look into all the variables that have gone into the smart card and do a model pricing comparable to similar ones in the region. The figures we have is nowhere close to the GH¢450 being rumoured," he said.
He said per the figures the DVLA was discussing, it would cost from GH¢50 to GH¢80 for licences to be renewed while that of new applicants was still under discussion.
Cause of delay
The Director, Driver Training, Testing and Licencing of the DVLA, Mr Cheyuo Wienaa Musah, said the Authority had acquired the best in terms of technology (laser printing and engraving) to print the licence to put them ahead of duplicators.
He further explained that the DVLA used to deal with third parties who printed the licence and in the process, misplaced data submitted.
But he said the new system, which operated an enterprise software, enabled the licence to be printed within.
He said the DVLA now had the capacity to print at least 1,500 licences daily. Meanwhile the daily applications were less than 1,000.
"We have ordered enough cards to be able to take care of the printing for the next three years. There is not going to be a point where we will say we have run out of cards.
"When we start printing, we want to assure the poblic that within two to four weeks, licences will be printed and we are working on collaborating with courier companies to deliver them to the applicants instead of them coming to our office," he added.

Features Skills
Occultists are masters of the eldritch powers. Once hunted by imperial forces in an effort to curb the spread of the belief in the three witch gods, Solael, Bysmiel and Dreeg, they have struggled to shed the prejudices once rampant in the fallen empire of men. Occultists destroy their enemies with abhorrent curses and forbidden summoning spells. When those prove insufficient, they call upon the power of the void itself to tear their enemies apart with chaotic incantations.
The eldritch powers, dreadful and devastating, are a terror to behold and strike fear into even the most steeled of hearts. Those that crave control over dark magic will find their place with the Occultist.
Debilitating Curses
Occultists prefer to spread misery and disease over direct methods. Their vile curses shatter enemy defenses and inflict grievous wounds that fill with virulent pus. Those that survive an encounter with an Occultist may wish they hadn't.
Summoning Rituals
Occultists can call upon eldritch beings from beyond the mortal realm. These summoning rituals can bring forth a fiery Hellhound or a loyal Storm Raven, which will tear at your enemies with burning claws and bolts of pure lightning.
Forbidden Magic
Occultists call upon the powers of the three witch gods, granting them the will to control the wild forces of the chaotic void. This reviled power allows Occultists to call forth bolts of entropic energy and to create sigils that sap the life from their enemies while transferring the vital essence back to the caster.
The following are some of the skills available to the masters of eldritch arts:Dreeg's Evil Eye
"Summons one of the infinite eyes of Dreeg, the great guardian of the hidden realm. The eye quickly speeds toward the target and then detonates itself in a shower of poisonous fumes."
Summon Familiar
"Summon a mythical storm raven to support you. Storm ravens are eldritch creatures of uncanny intelligence and magical ability quite different from mundane ravens. Some believe they are not birds at all but rather some manner of ancient sky spirit for which the raven is a preferred manifestation. Only one raven may be summoned at any one time."
Bloody Pox
"Shunned even by many Occultists for the prolonged suffering it inflicts, this abhorrent curse calls down a virulent plague to spread amongst foes, inexorably sapping their life-force and causing them to bleed from every orifice."
"You allow your body to act as a mortal vessel for the witch god Solael. The great one temporarily inhabits your flesh, bestowing upon you formidable physical prowess."

Riders Magazine Photo Shoot
A few monthes back we had the pleasure of inviting Riders Magazine from Italy into the shop. We weren't really sure we would give them the photo documentation they were looking for....but we had fun having them follow us around with the camera anyway. Of course we took them to In n' Out for a famous CA hamburger and shake, and with all of that excitement MB got alittle crazy while test riding the bike he was working on that day. Took it out to the rock pit down the street and did some burn outs...luckly the owner Greg Kazen was forgiving. The pictures and article made it into the mag, we aren't really sure what the article says since it is in Italian, hopefully good stuff.

Left-Right politics
Main article: Left-Right politics
Most political analysts and politicians divide politics into left wing and right wing politics, often also using the idea of center politics as a middle path of policy between the right and left. This classification is comparatively recent (it was not used by Aristotle or Hobbes, for instance), and dates from the French Revolution era, when those members of the National Assembly who opposed the monarchy sat on the left, while those who supported it sat on the right.[36]
The meaning of left-wing and right-wing varies considerably between different countries and at different times, but broadly speaking, it can be said that the right wing is often linked to moral and social conservatism, law and order, and religion, while the left wing is often linked with redistribution of wealth and resources towards the poorer or less successful sections of society (which are generally perceived by the left as unfairly disadvantaged), and with secularism.[37] The right wing is more often linked to the idea of social equity, and the left wing to the idea of social equality.
According to Norberto Bobbio, one of the major exponents of this distinction, the Left believes in attempting to eradicate social inequality, while the Right regards most social inequality as the result of ineradicable natural inequalities, and sees attempts to enforce social equality as utopian or authoritarian.[38]
Some ideologies, notably Christian Democracy, claim to combine left and right wing politics; according to Geoffrey K. Roberts and Patricia Hogwood, "In terms of ideology, Christian Democracy has incorporated many of the views held by liberals, conservatives and socialists within a wider framework of moral and Christian principles."[39] Movements which claim or formerly claimed to be above the left-right divide include Gaullism in France, Peronism in Argentina, and National Action Politics in Mexico.
While left and right refer to different methods of developing an economically stable and just society,[citation needed] authoritarianism and libertarianism refer to the amount of individual freedom each person possesses in that society relative to the state. One author describes authoritarian political systems as those where "individual rights and goals are subjugated to group goals, expectations and conformities",[40] while a libertarian political system is one in which individual rights and civil liberties are paramount. More extreme than libertarians are anarchists, who argue for the total abolition of government, while the most extreme authoritarians are totalitarians who support state control over all aspects of society.
Authoritarianism and libertarianism are separate concepts from the left-right political axis. For instance, classical liberalism and contemporary American libertarianism are socially liberal, but reject extensive governmental intervention in the economy and welfare. According to the libertarian Institute for Humane Studies, "the libertarian, or 'classical liberal,' perspective is that individual well-being, prosperity, and social harmony are fostered by 'as much liberty as possible' and 'as little government as necessary.'"[41]
May 15, 2008 at 2:42 PM
The Chinese philosopher Confucius (551-471 BCE) was one of the first thinkers to adopt a distinct approach to political philosophy. His philosophy was "rooted in his belief that a ruler should learn self-discipline, should govern his subjects by his own example, and should treat them with love and concern."[7] His political beliefs were strongly linked to personal ethics and morality, believing that only a morally upright ruler who possessed "de", or virtue, should be able to exercise power, and that the behavior of an individual ought to be consistent with their rank in society. He stated that "Good government consists in the ruler being a ruler, the minister being a minister, the father being a father, and the son being a son."[8]
The Greek philosopher Plato(428-348 BC), in his book The Republic, argued that all conventional political systems (democracy, monarchy, oligarchy and timarchy) were inherently corrupt, and that the state ought to be governed by an elite class of educated philosopher-rulers, who would be trained from birth and selected on the basis of aptitude: "those who have the greatest skill in watching over the community."[9] This has been characterised as authoritarian and elitist by some later scholars, notably Karl Popper in his book The Open Society and its Enemies, who described Plato's schemes as essentially totalitarian and criticised his apparent advocacy of censorship.[10] The Republic has also been labeled as communist, due to its advocacy of abolishing private property and the family among the ruling classes; however, this view has been discounted by many scholars, as there are implications in the text that this will extend only to the ruling classes, and that ordinary citizens "will have enough private property to make the regulation of wealth and poverty a concern."[11]
In his book Politics, the Greek philosopher Aristotle(384–322BC) asserted that man is, by nature, a political animal. He argued that ethics and politics are closely linked, and that a truly ethical life can only be lived by someone who participates in politics.[12]
Like Plato, Aristotle identified a number of different forms of government, and argued that each "correct" form of government may devolve into a "deviant" form of government, in which its institutions were corrupted. According to Aristotle, kingship, with one ruler, devolves into tyranny; aristocracy, with a small group of rulers, devolves into oligarchy; and polity, with collective rule by many citizens, devolves into democracy.[13] In this sense, Aristotle does not use the word "democracy" in its modern sense, carrying positive connotations, but in its literal sense of rule by the demos, or common people.[13] A more accurate view of Aristotle denouncing democracy was that it was described as mob rule, or ochlocracy.
Niccolò Machiavelli
In his work The Prince, the Renaissance Italian political theorist Machiavelli put forward a political worldview which described practical methods for an absolute ruler to attain and maintain political power. His work is sometimes viewed as rejecting traditional views of morality for a ruler: "for Machiavelli, there is no moral basis on which to judge the difference between legitimate and illegitimate uses of power."[14] It is from Machiavelli that the term Machiavellian is derived, referring to an amoral person who uses manipulative methods to attain power; his works have been studied and theories practiced by leaders including totalitarians such as Benito Mussolini, and Adolf Hitler, each of whom justified the use of brutality for purposes of state security.[15] However, many scholars have questioned this view of Machiavelli's theory, arguing that "Machiavelli did not invent 'Machiavellianism' and may not even have been a 'Machiavellian' in the sense often ascribed to him."[16] Instead, Machiavelli considered the stability of the state to be the most important goal, and argued that qualities traditionally considered morally desirable, such as generosity, were undesirable in a ruler and would lead to the loss of power.
Thomas Hobbes
In 1651, Thomas Hobbes published his most famous work, Leviathan, in which he proposed a model of early human development to justify the creation of polities, i.e. governed bodies. Hobbes described an ideal state of nature wherein every person had equal right to every resource in nature and was free to use any means to acquire those resources. He claimed that such an arrangement created a "war of all against all" (bellum omnium contra omnes). The book has been interpreted by scholars as posing two "stark alternatives"; total obedience to an absolute ruler, or "a state of nature, which closely resembles civil war…where all have reason to fear a violent death".[17] Hobbes' view can therefore be interpreted as a defense of absolutism, arguing that human beings enter into a social contract for their protection and agree to obey the dictates of the sovereign; in Hobbes' worldview, "the sovereign is nothing more than the personal embodiment of orderly government."[18] Hobbes himself argued "The final cause, end, or design of men (who naturally love liberty, and dominion over others) in the introduction of that restraint upon themselves, in which we see them live in Commonwealths, is the foresight of their own preservation, and of a more contented life thereby."[19]
John Locke
Main article: John Locke
In the First Treatise of Government, Locke refutes the theory of the Divine Right of Kings as put forward by Robert Filmer; he "minutely examines key Biblical passages"[20] and concludes that absolute monarchy is not supported by Christian theology. "Locke singles out Filmer's contention that men are not 'naturally free' as the key issue, for that is the 'ground'…on which Filmer erects his argument for the claim that all 'legitimate' government is 'absolute monarchy'."[20]
In the Second Treatise of Government, Locke examines the concept of the social contract put forward by other theorists such as Thomas Hobbes, but reaches a different conclusion. Although he agreed with Hobbes on the concept of a state of nature before existing forms of government arose, he challenged Hobbes' view that the state of nature was equivalent to a state of war, instead arguing that there were certain natural rights belonging to all human beings, which continued even after a political authority was established. "The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges everyone…being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, liberty, health or possessions".[21] According to one scholar, the basis of Locke's thought in the Second Treatise is that "contract or consent is the ground of government and fixes its limits…behind [this] doctrine lies the idea of the independence of the individual person."[22] In other words, Locke's view was different from Hobbes' in that he interpreted the idea of the "state of nature" differently, and he argued that people's natural rights were not necessarily eliminated by their consent to be governed by a political authority.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The 18th century French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, in his book The Social Contract, put forward a system of political thought which was closely related to those of Hobbes and Locke, but different in important respects. In the opening sentence of the book, Rousseau argued that "…man was born free, but he is everywhere in chains"[23] He defined political authority and legitimacy as stemming from the "general will", or volonté generale; for Rousseau, "true Sovereignty is directed always at the public good".[24] This concept of the general will implicitly "allows for individual diversity and freedom…[but] also encourages the well-being of the whole, and therefore can conflict with the particular interests of individuals."[24] As such, Rousseau also argues that the people may need a "lawgiver" to draw up a constitution and system of laws, because the general will, "while always morally sound, is sometimes mistaken".[23]
Rousseau's thought has been seen by some scholars as contradictory and inconsistent, and as not addressing the fundamental contradiction between individual freedom and subordination to the needs of society, "the tension that seems to exist between liberalism and communitarianism".[24] As one Catholic scholar argues, "that it [The Social Contract] contains serious contradictions is undeniable…its fundamental principles–the origin of society, absolute freedom and absolute equality of all–are false and unnatural."[25] The Catholic Encyclopedia further argues that Rousseau's concept of the general will would inevitably lead to "the suppression of personality, the reign of force and caprice, the tyranny of the multitude, the despotism of the crowd", i.e. the subordination of the individual to society as a whole.[25]
John Stuart Mill
John Stuart Mill
In the 19th century, John Stuart Mill pioneered the liberal conception of politics. He saw democracy as the major political development of his era[26] and, in his book On Liberty, advocated stronger protection for individual rights against government and the rule of the majority. He argued that liberty was the most important right of human beings, and that the only just cause for interfering with the liberty of another person was self-protection.[27] One commentator refers to On Liberty as "the strongest and most eloquent defense of liberalism that we have."[27] Mill also emphasised the importance of freedom of speech, claiming that "we can never be sure that the opinion we are attempting to stifle is a false opinion, and if we were sure, stifling it would be an evil still."[28]
Karl Marx
Karl Marx was among the most influential political philosophers of history. His theories, collectively termed Marxism, were critical of capitalism and argued that in the due course of history, there would be an "inevitable breakdown of capitalism for economic reasons, to be replaced by communism."[29] He defined history in terms of the class struggle between the bourgeoisie, or property-owning classes, and the proletariat, or workers, a struggle intensified by industrialisation: "The development of Modern Industry, therefore, cuts from under its feet the very foundation on which the bourgeoisie produces and appropriates products. What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable.[30] Utopia for Marx was the classless society in which the state and the church would be very weak or nonexistent. The workers ultimately would own the means of production, state ownership would be a mere transition period, therefore the people would be free. Because the state as Marx knew it would practically disappear over time, there would be no need for borders so individuals would be free to move from nation to nation without prosecution. This latter idea of internationalism is the direct opposition to the Nazi utopia of the Master race and national socialism. Although Marxism is mostly associated with the Soviet Union for obvious reasons, one may also see in the European Union many but not all of Marx's ideas such as universal health care, open border and the free movement of people, and less economic inequality.
Many subsequent political movements have based themselves on Marx's thought, offering widely differing interpretations of communism; these include Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, and libertarian Marxism. Possibly the most influential interpreter of Marxist theory was Lenin, founder of the Soviet Union, who created a revolutionary theory founded on Marxist thinking. However, libertarian Marxist thinkers have challenged Lenin's interpretation of Marx; Cornelius Castoriadis, for instance, described the Soviet Union's system as a form of "bureaucratic capitalism" rather than true communism.[31]
The multiple notions of political power that are put forth range from conventional views that simply revolve around the actions of politicians to those who view political power as an insidious form of institutionalized social control – most notably "anarchists" and "radical capitalists". The main views of political power revolve around normative, post-modern, and pragmatic perspectives.
Normative faces of power debate
The faces of power debate has coalesced into a viable conception of three dimensions of power including decision-making, agenda-setting, and preference-shaping. The decision-making dimension was first put forth by Robert Dahl, who advocated the notion that political power is based in the formal political arena and is measured through voting patterns and the decisions made by politicians.[32] This view has been criticised by many as simplistic, notably by the sociologist G. William Domhoff,[33] who argues that political and economic power is monopolised by the "elite classes".
A second dimension to the notion of political power was added by academics Peter Bachrach and Morton Baratz involving "agenda-setting". Bachrach and Baratz viewed power as involving both the formal political arena and behind the scenes agenda-setting by elite groups who could be either politicians and/or others (such as industrialists, campaign contributors, special interest groups and so on), often with a hidden agenda that most of the public may not be aware of. The third dimension of power was added by British academic Steven Lukes who felt that even with this second dimension, some other traits of political power needed to be addressed through the concept of 'preference-shaping'. Lukes developed the concept of the "Three faces of power" – decision-making power, non-decision-making power, and ideological power.[34]
This third dimension is inspired by many Neo-Gramscian views such as cultural hegemony and deals with how civil society and the general public have their preferences shaped for them by those in power through the use of propaganda or the media. Ultimately, this third dimension holds that the general public may not be aware of what decisions are actually in their interest due to the invisible power of elites who work to distort their perceptions. Critics of this view claim that such notions are themselves elitist, which Lukes then clearly admits as one problem of this view and yet clarifies that as long as those who make claims that preferences are being shaped explain their own interests etc., there is room for more transparency.
Postmodern challenge of normative views of power
Some within the postmodern and post-structuralist field claim that power is something that is not in the hands of the few and is rather dispersed throughout society in various ways. As one academic writes, "…postmodernists have argued that due to a variety of inherent biases in the standards by which "valid" knowledge has been evaluated…modernist science has tended to reproduce ideological justifications for the perpetuation of long-standing forms of inequality. Thus, it is the strategy of postmodern science…to identify and, thereby, attack the "deceiving" power of universalizing scientific epistemologies."[35]

Key political concepts
Pragmatic view of power
Samuel Gompers' maxim, often paraphrased as,"Reward your friends and punish your enemies,"[4] hints at two of the five types of power recognized by social psychologists: incentive power (the power to reward) and coercive power (the power to punish). Arguably the other three grow out of these two:
Legitimate power, the power of the policeman or the referee, is the power given to an individual by a recognized authority to enforce standards of behavior. Legitimate power is similar to coercive power in that unacceptable behavior is punished by fine or penalty. A policeman has no power outside his own jurisdiction.
Referent power is bestowed upon individuals by virtue of accomplishment or attitude. Fulfillment of the desire to feel similar to a celebrity or a hero is the reward for obedience. This is an example of incentive power as one rewards oneself.
Expert power springs from education or experience. Following the lead of an expert is often rewarded with success. Note that expert power is conditional to situational circumstances (for example, if leaky plumbing needs to be repaired, a brain surgeon's advice probably would not carry as much weight as a plumber's would).
Authority and legitimacy
Main article: Tripartite classification of authority
Authority, in a political sense, is different from political power in that it implies legitimacy and acceptance; it implies that the person or state exercising power has a perceived right to do so.[5] Legitimacy is an attribute of government gained through the acquisition and application of power in accordance with recognized or accepted standards or principles.
Max Weber identified three sources of legitimacy for authority, known as the tripartite classification of authority.[6] He proposed three reasons why people follow the orders of those who give them:
Traditional authority
Traditional authorities receive loyalty because they continue and support the preservation of existing values, the status quo. Weber called this "the authority of the eternal yesterday".[6]Patriarchal (and more rarely matriarchal) societies gave rise to hereditary monarchies where authority was given to descendants of previous leaders. Followers submit to this authority because "we've always done it that way." Examples of traditional authoritarians include absolute monarchs.
Charismatic authority
Charismatic authority grows out of the personal charm or the strength of an individual personality (see cult of personality for the most extreme version). Charismatic regimes are often short-lived, seldom outliving the charismatic figure that leads them. For a charismatic regime to survive the rule of the individual personality, it must transform its legitimacy into a different form of authority. An example of this would be Augustus' efforts to create the position of the Roman principate and establish a ruling dynasty, which could be viewed as a shift to a traditional form of authority, in the form of the principate that would exist in Rome for more than 400 years after his death.
Legal-rational authority
Legal-rational authorities receive their ability to compel behavior by virtue of the office that they hold. It is the authority that demands obedience to the office rather than the office holder; Weber identified "rationally-created rules"[6] as the central feature of this form of authority. Modern democracies are examples of legal-rational regimes. People also abide by legal-rational authority because it makes sense to do so for their own good, as well as for the greater good of society.[citation needed]

This power can either be built-in to the external drive, or in the form of an extra power pack.
Anyway, it sounds pretty obvious by now.
If you've tried it in 3 different, and otherwise OK PC's, then it's almost certain to be the drive, or it's electronics.
If it's easy to take apart, you can buy external enclosures you can put the drive in.
Or if the drive has the same connector as your motherboard, try it as in internal drive. (There's no difference between external and internal drives apart from the enclosure and power supply).
Only do this if you're comfortable doing so, and have basic competence.
The drive is only 4 months old?
If that's the case, the first thing I would do is send it back for warranty if applicable?
One quick thing to try is to see if you can access the drive in Disk Management.
Start, run and type in compmgmt.msc /s then OK.
Under Storage, highlight Disk Management, then on the right-hand side see if the drive is visible and accessible.

It's been almost a year now since my last post and a year since I first learned how to swim. I can't tell you enough how life changing swimming has been for me. It's been life changing because it was the biggest fear I had in my life and now I've overcome it. Swimming was something I just didn't do before. I took lessons before in freestyle and failed. It just took the right swim coach, some belief that it was possible, and handing it over to God.
Would you believe me if I told you that I LOVE swimming now? I was so overjoyed at the initial onset of swimming that I continued weekly lessons after that competition. I can now swim a mile. That's 64 laps! That's ridiculous when I think of it. If you had told me last year pre-swimming lessons that I 'd be able to swim a mile a year from now, that would be the funniest joke ever. For me, this is like climbing Mount Everest! It was THE impossible. But what's even cooler about overcoming my fear of swimming is that it has given me confidence that I can overcome anything. It's like that book, feel the fear and do it anyway. Now when I have challenges come into my life, I almost welcome them. I realize it's an opportunity for me to be a better person. Little by little, God willing, I can overcome.
What is the voice within you saying to you?

With the conclusion of the NFL Scouting Combine, what better time to bust out my initial Top 100 Big Board than right now? Let me tell you, it was a much longer and more vigorous process than I had initially imagined. I'm a perfectionist, and if I feel even slightly off about where I have a prospect ranked, I have to go back and shuffle things around.
Even with the Combine ending this past week, things are bound to change from now until late April. In order to stay current, I will have an updated and expanded big board in mid April for my personal records, and more importantly for your viewing pleasure. Stay tuned for that!

The Reuben Goertz Collection, available at the Center for Western Studies, consists of photographic and printed material that belonged to Reuben Goertz. This collection is distinct from his separate collection on Germans from Russia, as it is unknown if these materials are related to that topic. The collection is divided into six series, which fall under two primary categories: photographic and printed materials. Beyond the photographic prints and negatives, the printed materials include: maps, a Norwegian newspaper, a Black Hills Passion Play brochure (1978), and a copy of the song sheet "Sunshine and Smiles: The South Dakota Song," by D.O.

is here and shopping for new clothes is a fun break from busy summer
schedules. Color is a key element in fashion decisions, letting you
stay in tuned with trends while expressing yourself. A favorite
color is as personal as a favorite song, so remember to stay true to
yourself. The good news is almost every color in the rainbow is in
style right now and you can find a style you love in many beautiful
colors. Whether you shop at the mall, boutique shops or on-line,
here are some factors to consider when you choose a color:
This Season's Color Trends
- Summer 2008 Neutrals - Brown is becoming the old black. Although
it is not out of style, navy or black are the hottest dark neutrals.
Basics in these colors are always a safe bet. Blouses, dresses and
skirts incorporating sheer fabric in black or navy is an elegant
choice for evening. Khaki and many shades of grey and beige are
showing up in safari clothing.
Brights - Blouses, sundresses, shorts and
tops, even colored jeans colored bright for 2008. Purple, yellow,
turquoise, coral, lime green, pink, orange and cobalt blue are hot
for 2008.
Pastels - Any color trend for brights avails
itself in pastel colors for all types of clothing from casual to
Complimentary Colors
Many people do not know what colors look best on
them. You should always wear colors and styles that you love, but a
color close to your face that does not flatter will ruin your look.
Ir you are not sure what colors look best on you, experiment. If a
color looks great on you, chances are you will receive a complement.
For example, many people look great in bright colors, but you might
look especially great in bright pink. Wear colors you love every
day. A special occasion deserves the color you love as well as one
that looks great on you.
There are many warm/cool theories. The best test is
look in the mirror or ask your friends. Remember, make-up should
never clash with your clothing. For example, cool tone clothing
should be accompanied by cool toned or neutral make-up.
What Colors Do You Love?
If trends have colored your opinion for so long that
you don't remember your own favorite colors ask yourself these
What color is my favorite flower? Favorite
Which do you think is the most beautiful: a
meadow full of flowers (what color?),, a blue mountain or ocean,
a scene of green trees or grass. A golden hill-side?
What was your favorite color as a child?
Answer these questions to yourself and be sure to buy
a new outfit that somehow features your newly discovered favorite.
