The Sunday screenshot gallery is back!
Sharing screenshots is fun. In fact, the screenshot feature is in many ways the best feature that has been added in to this generation of consoles. It's fun to share gameplay experiences, amusing anecdotes from the games, a indulge a little of the inner photographer in us.
Yes, after a long hiatus, the screenshot gallery is back! We've been so busy launching podcasts and otherwise working on the site that we just haven't had the time to do these, but it's back now... hopefully for good, and it has been one of the most requested features recently!
So, at DDNet we will run a screenshot gallery each week, where we pull ten of our favourite shots from games we've played. This is something we'd love for everyone in the community to participate in! If you've got favourite screenshots of your own, simply shoot them over to screens@digitallydownloaded.net, and we'll get them up in the gallery the next week!
Shantae games are always so very beautiful - Shantae and the Pirate's Curse

Metformin Overdose Causes Severe Lactic Acidosis
Published: Sunday, 06 January 2013 16:18
Lactic Acidosis is a common cause of metabolic acidosis. Metabolic acidosis has several effects on human physiology, the most serious of which is the lowering of the ventricular fibrillation threshold of the heart. Lactic acidosis in popular literature is connected to excessive exercise, but there are other causes for lactic acidosis including dehydration, starvation, severe anemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and other conditions. The paper that follows is a case study published in a 2012 issue of J. Med having to do with an overdose of Metformin, an oral hypoglycemic agent used to treat Type II diabetics. It is a very interesting toxicology case.
Lactic Acidosis Secondary to Metformin Overdose
A Case Report
Simon Timbrell, Gary Wilbourn, James Harper, Alan Liddle
J Med Case Reports. 2012;6(230)
Introduction: Metformin is a commonly used treatment modality in type 2 diabetes mellitus, with a well documented side effect of lactic acidosis. In the intensive care setting lactate and pH levels are regularly used as a useful predictor of poor prognosis. In this article we highlight how high lactate levels are not an accurate predictor of mortality in deliberate metformin overdose.
Case presentation: We present the case of a 70-year-old Caucasian man who took a deliberate metformin overdose of unknown quantity. He had a profound lactic acidosis at presentation with a pH of 6.93 and a lactate level of more than 20mmol/L. These figures would normally correspond with a mortality of more than 80%; however, with appropriate management this patient's condition improved.
Conclusion: We provide evidence that the decision to treat severe lactic acidosis in deliberate metformin overdose should not be based on arterial lactate and pH levels, as would be the case in other overdoses. We also demonstrate that appropriate treatment with hemodiafiltration and 8.4% sodium bicarbonate, even in patients with a very high lactate and low pH, can be successful.
Metformin is a biguanide typically used as a first line drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Its chief modes of action are reduced absorption of glucose from the gastrointestinal tract, decreased hepatic gluconeogenesis and increased peripheral utilization of glucose. [1] All of these actions lower plasma levels of glucose.
Commonly reported side effects are predominantly gastrointestinal and include: nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Lactic acidosis is a well-recognized consequence of toxicity and is often associated with concurrent renal or hepatic insufficiency and in an overdose. The mechanism of hyperlactatemia in metformin toxicity is not fully understood.
The normal range for arterial lactate is 0.5 to 1.6mmol/L. Elevated levels are a common finding within critical care patients. Levels exceeding 2 to 3mmol/L have been shown to be an independent marker for mortality in critical care patients with sepsis and in amitryptyline overdose. [2] Much higher mortality rates of nearly 70% have been independently associated with lactate levels of >3.5. [3] This compelling evidence of excessive mortality should, however, not be extrapolated to all causes.
We present a case of deliberate metformin overdose in which a patient presenting with an arterial lactate of more than 20mmol/L.
A 70-year-old Caucasian man with type 2 diabetes mellitus presented to the emergency department three hours after a suicide attempt in which an unknown quantity of metformin was ingested.
At presentation he was vomiting, severely agitated, confused and complaining of abdominal pain. He had a heart rate of 100 beats per minute, blood pressure of 150/80mmHg and a respiratory rate of 20. His cardio-respiratory system was normal; his abdomen was soft and non-tender.
Arterial blood gas analysis on admission showed a profound lactic acidosis: His temperature was 37.0°C. The results of his blood analysis are as follows: pH 6.93 (7.38 to 7.42); pCO 2 2.1kPa (4.8 to 5.8); pO 2 30.4kPa mmol/L (12 to 14); actual bicarbonate 3mmol/L (22 to32); base excess −27.7mmol/L (−2 to 2); and lactate 20.0mmol/L (0.5 to 2.2). This value is the upper limit of our machine.
Alongside the profound acidaemia, he was anuric with acute kidney injury and a creatinine of 215μmol/L. shows his blood results at presentation.

He was admitted to the intensive care unit and started on continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) with an average blood flow rate of 150mls/hour (varying between 100 to 180mls/hour) for the 48 hours described in and an hourly replacement flow rate of 1500mls/hour (varying between 1000 to 2000mls/hour) and dialysate replacement with 8.4% sodium bicarbonate with an average rate of 1500mls/hour (varying between 1000 to 2000mls/hour) .

On initiating hemofiltration he developed uncontrolled atrial fibrillation with cardiovascular compromise requiring amiodarone infusion and vasopressor support.
Despite these initial complications, highlights how quickly the lactic acidosis responded to hemofiltration.
Despite the clearance of the lactate with CVVHDF his renal function did not improve. He was offered continued renal support under the care of the renal physicians which he refused. He subsequently developed a hospital-acquired pneumonia, for which he refused active treatment, and died.
Lactic acid is produced when there is inadequate tissue oxygenation for aerobic respiration and lactate is produced as a by-product of anaerobic respiration catalyzed by the actions of lactate dehydrogenase on pyruvate, as shown below:
Pyruviate
+ NAD(nicotinamide adenine dinocleotide+)H
+ H+
⃔Lactate + NAD+
Hyperlactemia is defined as an abnormally high lactate level between 2 to 5mmol/L whereas lactic acidosis is defined as a lactate level of more than 5mmol/L and a pH of less than 7.34.
There are two isomeric forms of lactate: D-lactate, a byproduct of bacterial metabolism, and L-lactate, produced in human tissues by anaerobic respiration.
Cohen and Woods [4] divided the causes of lactic acidosis into 2 categories:
Type A lactic acidosis in which there is clinical evidence of inadequate tissue perfusion or oxygenation.
Anaerobic muscular activity (for example, exercising)
Tissue hypoperfusion (for example, septic shock)
Reduced tissue oxygen delivery or utilization (for example, severe anaemia), and
Type B lactic acidosis in which there is no clinical evidence of poor tissue perfusion and this is further subdivided into:
B1 - Associated with underlying diseases (for example, ketoacidosis)
B2 – Associated with several classes of drugs and toxins (for example, biguanides, salicylates, isoniazid and alcohol)
B3 - Associated with inborn errors of metabolism (for example, pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency).
Metformin-associated lactic acidosis is relatively rare occurring in 0.03 cases per 1000 patient-years. [5] It refers to any case of lactic acidosis in a patient taking metformin where no other lactate-inducing mechanisms, such as sepsis, are involved. In the majority of cases, the contribution of metformin is secondary to patient factors, such as renal insufficiency, liver disease or low cardiac output states. Although secondary, metformin is significant. The presence of metformin-associated hyperlactatemia in critical care patients has been associated with a mortality greater than 30%. [6]
The patient in this scenario was suffering from metformin-induced lactic acidosis. This specifically refers to a situation in which the high lactate level cannot be explained by any major risk factor other than excessive metformin intake and is, therefore, a type B2 lactic acidosis. The difference being that metformin accumulation may coexist with other factors in metformin-associated lactic acidosis contributing to the pathogenesis of lactic acidosis, whereas in metformin-induced lactic acidosis, the lactic acidosis is purely caused by excessive amounts of metformin.
Deliberate overdose with oral hypoglycemic agents is a rarer form still of metformin-induced lactic acidosis. A literature review using the PubMed database only highlighted a few case reports and small case series, demonstrating how rare an occurrence lactic acidosis due to metformin overdose is. Further evidence of the unusual nature of the case comes from a five-year review of toxic exposures reported to US poison control centers. Within the review only 4072 out of nearly 11 million exposures involved metformin, corresponding to less than one in 2500 toxic overdoses. [7]
Previous case reports of deliberate metformin overdose show how individuals with an excessively high lactate level, that would normally be considered incompatible with life, managed to survive. Gjedde et al.'s [8] case report demonstrates this, as an individual deliberately ingested 63 grams of metformin and survived despite having an initial lactate of 17.7mmol/L. A case series by Teale et al. [9] described how individuals with severe metabolic acidosis, the worse being a pH of 6.9 and lactate level of 29mmol/L, survived with appropriate management.
The previously published data agreed that the appropriate treatment for metformin overdose involves bicarbonate hemodialysis. [8–11]
Correcting the metabolic acidemia is of paramount importance in metformin-induced lactic acidosis. Sodium bicarbonate is often the obvious method; however, it is not always effective due to lactate being produced at such a rate that even at high doses, sodium bicarbonate fails to sustain a normal blood pH. Dichloroacetate and tri-hydroxymethyl aminomethane are other options that have been described. [11]
Hemodialysis via veno-venous hemodiafiltration with bicarbonate replacement fluid is deemed more effective, as the metformin is also cleared via the filter. This however requires the patient to be hemodynamically stable. Another way to encourage metformin excretion is to use furosemide to induce a diuresis which leads to increased excretion of unchanged metformin in the urine.
In this case the patient received CVVHDF with 8.4% bicarbonate sodium, which quickly resolved his lactic acidosis as shown in .
The association between lactic acidosis and a poor prognosis has been known for decades. Bakker and Jansen even suggested that lactate was a better indicator of patient outcome than measuring observations and many intensivists use it as a guide to patient mortality. [12] Manini et al. demonstrated how serum lactate levels were a good prognostic marker when used to predict drug overdose mortality. [13]
Given the patient's initial high lactate level traditional thoughts and evidence would have predicted a very high mortality. Indeed, using the Simplified Acute Physiology Score our patient had a predicted mortality of nearly 80%.
This case highlights how the measurement of arterial pH and lactate is not such an accurate clinical indicator in metformin-induced lactic acidosis. This is supported by Vecchio and Protti's recent research which suggests that arterial pH and lactate are not good indicators of mortality in patients with metformin-associated lactic acidosis. [14] In their case series involving metformin overdose the average arterial pH at admission was 6.75 ± 0.13 and lactate was 19 ± 5mmol/L. These patients had a Simplified Acute Physiology Score II of 88 ± 23 and their predicted mortality was 96%; however, survival rates were much higher at 50%. This work also compared similarly severe lactic acidosis from non-metformin associated causes and of the 31 patients, none survived. This is further supported by the work of Nyirenda et al. who demonstrated an actual mortality of 10% in metformin overdose against a predicted mortality of 55%. [15]
A proposed mechanism for why metformin-induced lactic acidosis with such a high lactate level and low pH may be more reversible is highlighted in further work by Protti et al. where they suggest biguanides induce lactic acidosis by impairing hepatocyte mitochondrial function. [16] Lactate production is, therefore, an epiphenomenon due to inhibition of mitochondrial function and this may explain why rapid removal of the offending metformin via CVVHDF can effectively treat extremely high lactate levels. [16]
This case report highlights that although there is much evidence showing that hyperlactatemia is a very poor prognostic indicator, this does not necessarily apply to patients who take a deliberate metformin overdose.
Based on this case and recent research, the decision to treat (or not to treat) a patient with severe lactic acidosis with metformin ingestion cannot be based on the arterial lactate and pH, as would be the case in sepsis or amitriptyline overdose. This scenario highlights that appropriate management with continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration and 8.4% sodium bicarbonate can be used to treat patients successfully who have a perceived high mortality.
We would, therefore, recommend that all patients with metformin-induced lactic acidosis must be treated no matter how high the serum lactate and low the pH, as renal replacement therapy can efficiently remove metformin and sodium bicarbonate can correct the acidosis.

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court issued notice to the New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) in a PIL seeking closure of restaurants on terraces in Khan Market and Connaught Place on grounds of safety.
The petitioner, one Manjit Singh, prayed before the Division Bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar for closure of such restaurants and terraces in the two posh markets, alleging that they pose safety risks to the general public and imperil their right to life under Article 21.
It was stated that most of the establishments at Khan Market only have access from the narrow middle lane with only one entry-exit stairway. Further, these establishments have no separate and designated fire exit which could be used to exit the building in case of any calamity/disaster.
With regard to Connaught Place, it was stated that the NDMC had given permission to the restaurants to open their terraces for the limited purposes of cleaning and removal of items/articles therefrom. However, in the garb of this limited permission, the restaurants have once again started full-fledged commercial operations on these terraces.
It is also stated that the restaurants and bars at Khan Market as well as Connaught Place are serving liquor in the balconies and other open areas, which is in gross violation of the permissions granted by the Excise department.
The petition assails Clause 3.1.5 of the National Building Code, which defines assembly buildings as buildings where at least 50 people convene. As per the Delhi Fire Rules, 2010, only assembly buildings are required to obtain an NOC from the Fire Department. This, the petitioner claims, is problematic.
"The interpretation of the law, as it today stands, is to the effect that if a restaurant is 49 seater then it does not qualify as an assembly building and therefore does not warrant an NOC from the Fire Department, however if it is a 50 seater restaurant, it would be an assembly building and therefore would be an occupancy which is likely to cause a risk of fire.


In the 1970s a group of strong English players (Miles, Speelman, Keene above all and later Short) developed a slightly unusual opening starting after the moves 1.d4 e6 2.c4 b6.
Just like in the Grünfeld or the Alekhine Defences, Black concedes the centre. However, rather than provoking pawn advances by an early development of the knights, Black wants instead to develop his bishops (most frequently to the squares b7 and b4).
This approach contradicts the orthodox rule of development (knights before bishops) but is not it better to get some pieces out instead of spending a lot of tempi with the knight in provocation?!
The original character of the play as well as the good preparation by the aforementioned grandmasters led to the recognition of this setup as the English Defence. This opening, which is still very young and unexplored, has recently attracted some top players (Morozevich, Ponomariov, Mamedyarov) who have made good use of it in their games.

"Corporate Governance and the Indian Private Equity Model"
National Law School of India Review, Volume 27, Issue 1
UC Davis Legal Studies Research Paper No. 484

Private Equity (PE) firms have long invested in Western firms using a leveraged buyout (LBO) model, whereby they acquire a company that they can grow with the ultimate goal of either selling it to a strategic buyer or taking it public. Unable to undertake the traditional LBO model in India, PE investors in Indian firms have developed a new model. Under this Indian PE Model, PE firms typically acquire minority interests in controlled companies using a structure that is both hybridized from other Western investment models and customized for India's complex legal environment. As minority shareholders in controlled firms, PE investors in India have developed several strategies to address their governance concerns. In particular, PE investors in India have focused on solutions to address local problems through the use of agreements that govern (i) the structuring of minority investments, (ii) investor control rights, and (iii) exit strategies. Nevertheless, recent governance and regulatory difficulties highlight the continuing uncertainty surrounding the Indian PE model.

Global data flows are the lifeblood of the global economy today and of the technologies of the future. Yet, the regulation of how data is to be handled remains largely the province of national laws. How we resolve the dilemmas of global flows within a nation-state structure will impact the digital economy, free expression, privacy, security, consumer protection, and taxation. Just as we once built an architecture for cross-border flow of goods, we need to build an architecture for cross-border flow of information.
"The Charming Betsy and the Paquete Habana"
WILLIAM S. DODGE, University of California, Davis - School of Law
Email: wsdodge@ucdavis.edu
This chapter for the book "Landmark Cases in Public International Law" discusses two famous U.S. Supreme Court decisions - The Charming Betsy (1804) and The Paquete Habana (1900). Although written nearly one hundred years apart, each decision appears to stand for similar propositions - that international law has an important place in the law of the United States, but that U.S. domestic law should prevail in the event of conflict. What often goes unnoticed is that the Supreme Court decided these cases against the backdrop of very different understandings about international law and its relationship to U.S. domestic law.
In addition to discussing the background and significance of each case, this chapter describes three shifts in U.S. thinking about customary international law during the nineteenth century. First, the theoretical foundations of customary international law shifted away from natural law towards positivism. Second, the consent requirement for making customary international law shifted from the individual consent of each state to the consent of states generally. And third, the U.S. understanding of the relationship between international law and domestic law shifted away from monism towards dualism - away from an understanding that international law was part of U.S. law unless displaced, towards an understanding that international law was not part of U.S. law unless adopted. The Charming Betsy and The Paquete Habana are landmark cases not because they changed the course of international law in the United States but because they reveal changes in the landscape.
"Probate Lending"

One of the most controversial trends in American civil justice is litigation lending: corporations paying plaintiffs a lump sum in return for a stake in a pending lawsuit. Although causes of action were once inalienable, many jurisdictions have abandoned this bright-line prohibition, opening the door for businesses to invest in other parties' claims. Although some courts, lawmakers, and scholars applaud litigation lenders for helping wronged individuals obtain relief, others accuse them of exploiting low-income plaintiffs and increasing court congestion.
This Article reveals that a similar phenomenon has quietly emerged in the probate system. Recently, companies have started to make "probate loans": advancing funds to heirs or beneficiaries to be repaid from their interest in a court-supervised estate. The Article sheds light on this shadowy practice by empirically analyzing 594 probate administrations from a major California county. It finds that probate lending is a lucrative business. Nevertheless, it also concludes that some of the strongest rationales for banning the sale of causes of action - concerns about abusive transactions and the corrosive effect of outsiders on judicial processes - apply to transfers of inheritance rights. The Article thus suggests several ways to regulate this nascent industry.

This essay reviews two books, Robert Wald Sussman, The Myth of Race: The Troubling Persistence of an Unscientific Idea (Harvard University Press 2014) and Osagie K. Obasogie, Blinded by Sight: Seeing Race Through the Eyes of the Blind (Stanford University Press 2014). Sussman is an anthropologist who brings his expertise to bear in tracing scientific racism through history. Obasogie is a legal scholar and sociologist who uses both qualitative data gathered through interviews with blind and sighted people and Critical Race Theory to explore racialization's dependence on the idea that race is visually obvious. Each book examines an idea that has sustained racism despite social, political and geographic change. The essay assesses each account and links the authors' analyses to judicial and legislative framings of reproductive rights and to postmodernist scholarship on race, gender and the human body.
"Computer Source Code: A Source of the Growing Controversy Over the Reliability of Automated Forensic Techniques"
DePaul Law Review, Forthcoming
EDWARD J. IMWINKELRIED, University of California, Davis - School of Law
Email: EJIMWINKELRIED@ucdavis.edu
The article deals with two legal issues posed by the growing trend in the United States to automate forensic analyses.
Since World War II, we have had alarming insights into the unreliability of both eyewitness testimony and confession evidence. Those insights have prompted the criminal justice system to place greater reliance on forensic evidence. In one Rand study, the researchers found that expert testimony was presented at 86% of the trials examined. This shift to greater use of expert testimony has placed growing demands on crime laboratories. For example, the backlog of unanalyzed DNA samples has become such an acute problem that Congress was impelled to enact the DNA Backlog Elimination Act to provide funding to reduce the backlog of untested rape kits.
In both the public and private sectors, the typical response to the development of a backlog is technological automation. That has certainly held true for forensic analysis. There is now widespread automation in such areas as fingerprint examination, breath testing, and DNA analysis. The argument runs that automation holds the promise of both enhancing efficiency and improving the accuracy of the analyses proffered in court.
That promise turns on the accuracy of the source code controlling the software governing the automated techniques. The source code embeds the instructions determining which tasks the program performs, how the program performs them, and the order in which it performs the tasks. The validity of a program's source code is the most fundamental guarantee of a software program's reliability. Defense counsel have sometimes challenged the software for automated forensic techniques. Early in this century, the defense counsel attacked the software controlling automated infrared breath testing devices. Today they are challenging the software for the TrueAllele program analyzing mixed DNA samples. Those waves of cases have posed two issues: (1) whether the prosecution can lay a sufficient foundation for evidence based on an automated technique without presenting testimony about the computer source code; and (2) whether the defense has any discovery right to access to the code. Almost all the courts have answered the first question in the affirmative and the second question in the negative. In responding to the second question, the courts have reasoned that the existence of validation studies for the technique eliminates any need to scrutinize the source code and that in any event, manufacturers have an evidentiary privilege protecting the code as a trade secret. The purpose of this short article is to critically evaluate the judicial response to both questions.
On the one hand, the article argues that the courts have correctly answered the first question. More specifically, the prosecution may lay an adequate foundation by presenting testimony describing validation studies for the automated technique even if the testimony does not touch on the source code. On the other hand, the article contends that in some cases, the courts ought to accord the defense a pretrial discovery limit. The article explains the limited utility of validation studies and notes that the evidentiary privilege for trade secrets is a qualified one that can be surmounted when the party seeking discovery has a significant need for the information. The article proposes a procedure that judges can employ to resolve the tension between the defendant's need for access to the source code and the manufacturer's legitimate interest in safeguarding its valuable proprietary information.
"Beyond Surveillance: Data Control and Body Cameras"
__ Surveillance & Society __ (2016) Forthcoming
ELIZABETH E. JOH, University of California, Davis - School of Law
Email: eejoh@ucdavis.edu
Body cameras collect video data - lots of it - and thus many have raised questions about increased government surveillance. But if understood primarily as data collection, surveillance represents only one concern. In our big data age, "seeing, monitoring, and recording the digital footprints is quite different from sharing, releasing, revealing or publicizing the data." Body camera policies must address not only concerns about surveillance, but also data control.
"Some Thoughts on the Future of Legal Education: Why Diversity and Student Wellness Should Matter in a Time of 'Crisis'"
Buffalo Law Review, Forthcoming
KEVIN R. JOHNSON, University of California, Davis - School of Law
Email: krjohnson@ucdavis.edu
Some vocal critics have loudly proclaimed that the challenges of law school economic have reached "crisis" proportions. They point to the well-known facts about recent developments in the market for law schools. Law schools have experienced a precipitous drop in applications. The global recession decimated the legal job market. To make matters worse, rising tuition has resulted in increasing debt loads for law graduates.
In light of the changes in the legal marketplace, stabilization of the budgetary picture is currently the first priority of virtually every American law school. Faculty members have been let go. Staffs reduced. Enrollment of students - and the collection of tuition revenues - have critical budgetary consequences.
Linked to the economic "crisis" facing law schools and students was deep concern with each school's relative placement in the much-watched U.S. News and World Report law school rankings. These rankings, among other things, affect admissions and enrollment, and thus budgetary bottom lines for law schools.
Much less publicized concerns with legal education involve non-financial issues. The lack of racial and other diversity of students attending law school, and ultimately entering the legal profession, and faculty, has long been a problem. In addition, today's students demand a more humane legal education and are asking for additional academic support, career and mental health counseling, experiential learning opportunities, and more. The costs of the additional services and programs have further added to budgetary pressures on law schools.
This Essay contends that law schools should strive to address the noneconomic as well as the economic problems with modern legal education. In a time of considerable change, this is a most opportune time to consider and implement deep and enduring improvements that benefit students as well as the entire legal profession.
"Welfare Queens and White Trash"
25 Southern California Interdisciplinary Law Journal 289 (2016)
LISA R. PRUITT, University of California, Davis - School of Law
Email: lrpruitt@ucdavis.edu
The "welfare queen" is widely recognized as a racialized construct deployed by politicians to undermine support for public benefits and the wider social safety net. Less often recognized or discussed is the flip side of the welfare queen's conflation of blackness with dependency and poverty: the conflation of whiteness with self-sufficiency, autonomy, and affluence. The welfare queen trope, along with media and scholarly depictions of socioeconomic disadvantage as a nonwhite phenomenon, deflects attention from white poverty. Yet data indicate that a majority of poor people in the United States self-identify as white.
This essay, written for the "Reframing the Welfare Queen" symposium, (re)surfaces the existence of white poverty and ponders its (in)visibility, meaning, and significance in relation to the welfare queen construct. Among other things, Pruitt suggests that the welfare queen stigmatype is not just bad for blacks, it is bad for poor whites. First, it obscures white poverty, rendering poor whites and their plight invisible. Second, to the extent we are aware of white poverty, the widespread conflation of whiteness with affluence suggests that poor whites have only themselves to blame, given the benefits widely associated with white-skin privilege.
Given the welfare queen's potency as a racialized construct, we might assume that greater awareness of white poverty would enhance public support for safety net programs because middle and upper income whites would (so the story goes) want to ameliorate white poverty, even if racial animus discourages their support for poor blacks. But Pruitt questions the soundness of this line of reasoning, which discounts the existence and potency of intraracial discrimination in assuming that society feels greater empathy with or concern for the fate of poor whites than for poor nonwhites. In fact, we have several reasons - including empirical studies - to believe that such a well of empathy is missing. A further reason for skepticism is found in a second racialized construct explored in this article: white trash.

The current structure of U.S. federal tax law incentivizes state governments to adopt tax policies that inflict costs on the federal government, at the expense of national welfare. We label this the "tax cannibalization problem."
This article introduces the tax cannibalization problem to the law and policy literatures for the first time. This article also explains how U.S. federal tax law might be restructured so as to alleviate the tax cannibalization problem - to counteract the perverse incentives currently leading U.S. state governments to design their tax systems so as to, in effect, wastefully devour federal tax revenues.
"Stitches for Snitches: Lawyers as Whistleblowers"
UC Davis Law Review, Forthcoming (2017)
DENNIS J. VENTRY, University of California, Davis - School of Law
Email: djventry@ucdavis.edu
This Article challenges the prevailing wisdom that ethics rules forbid lawyers from blowing the whistle on a client's illegal conduct. While a lawyer is not free to disclose confidential information in every jurisdiction for every legal violation, the ethics rules in all jurisdictions permit disclosure of confidential information pertaining to a client's illegal activities under certain conditions. Proving the lie of the prevailing wisdom, this Article examines a high profile case in the state of New York that ruled a lawyer whistleblower violated the state's ethics rules by revealing confidential information to stop his employer-client from engaging in a tax fraud of epic proportions. The Article argues that the court undertook a deficient analysis of New York ethics rules pertaining to permissive disclosure of confidential client information. Even if the whistleblower had violated his ethical obligations, the New York False Claims Act (the statute under which he brought his action) expressly protects disclosure of confidential employer information made in furtherance of the statute. In addition to New York's statutory shield, federal courts across the country have developed a public policy exception safeguarding whistleblowers for disclosing confidential information that detects and exposes an employer's illegal conduct.
While challenging the previously unchallenged criticism of lawyer whistleblowers, this Article acknowledges the intrinsic appeal of that position. The idea of a lawyer revealing a client's transgressions - particularly for monetary awards paid under various federal and state whistleblower programs - seems unsavory and a threat to the attorney-client relationship. Nonetheless, lawyers have always had the discretion to disclose confidential information to prevent a client from committing a crime or fraud. And although the addition of financial incentives complicates the analysis, modern ethics rules extend to lawyers considerable discretion in revealing confidential client information, even if disclosure makes a lawyer eligible for financial awards.

Private equity executives have long invested in businesses in need of capital and expertise as they transition from founder-led organizations to more sustainable institutions. Now those buyout barons – most of whom founded their firms decades ago and are in their 70s or 80s – are taking a hard look at their own benches to identify and appoint successors to lead their firms into the future.
Blackstone, Carlyle, KKR and Apollo – the four largest publicly traded global alternative investment firms – have all announced formal succession plans since July 2017. Private equity firms have always tended to move in a pack, but the clustering of succession announcements highlights how critical this issue has become for both limited partners and public shareholders.
The firms have all appointed presidents or co-presidents in their 40s or 50s to oversee day-to-day management, with the aim of preserving culture while positioning the firm for the decades to come.
However, they also all said their founders would continue to be actively engaged and were not yet retiring, despite the transfer of more prestigious titles to a new generation. The founders appear willing to loosen the reins, but not to let go entirely.
Blackstone, the industry's behemoth with $430 billion in assets under management, was the last one to announce. In mid-February 2018, it named 48-year-old Jonathan Gray as President and Chief Operating Officer – though the second line in the company's press release made clear that Gray was still reporting to Stephen Schwarzman, Blackstone's Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO.
Founders across all industries eventually grapple with how to build an enduring institution and preserve legacy. In private equity, the stakes are particularly high: the fiercely competitive industry is full of larger-than-life founders and controls more than a trillion dollars of assets. Meanwhile, a new generation of leadership is anxious to make their own mark.
With all the unknowns in this process, the only certainty is that preparation will pay off. Those firms that engage in a thoughtful transition process, well communicated to both the investment community and employees at the appropriate time, will be the ones best positioned to separate themselves from the pack once and for all.

The sixth season enjoyed improved ratings over the season in Australia and also racked up a loyal following here in New Zealand, despite its slow arrival the season ended in Australia last July. There were no major dramas this year, with the cast forming a tight bond in the house perhaps a little too close, there were rumours of romance between Brent and Emilia and also Brent and Laura and no major dust-ups. Their first challenge was to cook a dish in 60 minutes using 8 ingredients of their collective choosing.
Brent took an early lead with 27 out of 30 points for his textures of pearl barley, which featured delicate poached scampi, pickled red cabbage and chervil. Laura scored 25 out of 30 for her dish of dead sea-roaches thrown on the plate, or as she described the dish, grilled scampi with anchovy butter and roasted garlic cream. Next up the pair had 90 minutes to cook six plates of food for some mystery VIPs and the judges.

How autonomous vehicles and hyperloop are scooting along
By: TechCrunch
Will transportation technologies become the industry disruptors many pundits suggested they would?

Dear United: Autonomous cars will pull you out of your seat
Two years ago, Lime was a great addition to guacamole, rather than a sidewalk. The market wasn't sure about car sharing and whether it had long-term viability. Now, with the acquisition of Drivy, Getaround is the largest car-sharing platform with partnerships the likes of Uber and Toyota. Uber and Lyft were (and are) a phenomenon, but there were still pundits who weren't sure if Uber would ever overcome the adversity of its culture.
At the same time, I wrote a series of four articles on the latest transport technologies, and the waves they would create with perspectives focused on the impact on retail, commercial real-estate, short-haul travel and hyperloop. Among those predictions was the impact hyperloop and autonomous vehicle technology would have on commuting, short-haul air travel and the retail industry.
Since then, these technologies have continued to develop and evolve, and it's worthwhile to revisit assumptions and assertions. Some of the more optimistic expectations put upon them by their proponents have so far failed to be realized, and they are no closer to becoming a reality in our day-to-day lives.
This begs the question as to whether they will still become the industry disruptors many pundits, including me, suggested they would, or if expectations have become more tempered.
Both hyperloop and autonomous vehicle technology have had their ups and downs over the past two years, but they're still set to change the way we (and the things we need) travel.
Delayed promotion to the back seat
When people think about transport innovation, we often think of self-driving cars or, maybe, flying cars.
Many believed that we'd be relegated (or promoted) to the back seat as soon as 2020. We would be sitting comfortably while fleets of autonomous cars chauffeured us along. Over the past two years the landscape has consolidated and the players are arguing what's possible.
Driverless cars haven't managed to achieve some of the targets that were being set for the technology two years ago. For instance, as we discussed, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed in 2015 that the company's cars would be fully autonomous by 2017 — a prediction that, of course, didn't and still hasn't come to pass as of mid 2019. And in January this year, Nissan — one of the main proponents of autonomous vehicle technology — said "true autonomous cars will not happen within the next decade."
But it would be overly pessimistic to suggest the technology isn't coming at all. The progress has been incredible.
Disruptive leaps forward often result in a net gain in employment.
Ford CEO Jim Hackett said that "[w]e overestimated the arrival of autonomous vehicles," at an April 2019 Detroit Economic Club event. Ford believes its fully driverless cars will be in commercial operation by 2021, and the technology has remained a major and consistent talking point in the media. At the annual WSJ conference, D.Live, Waymo CEO John Krafcik said that "autonomy will always have constraints," to communicate his belief that fully autonomous Level 5 transport is not coming anytime soon.
Industry pundits like the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) would argue that Waymo is leading the pack on unlocking the promise of autonomous technology. Tesla's founder and chief, Elon Musk, feels that Teslas will leapfrog Waymo with an upgrade in 2020 that will make more than a million cars fully autonomous. "By the middle of next year, we'll have over a million Tesla cars on the road with full self-driving hardware, feature complete, at a reliability level that we would consider that no one needs to pay attention." My excitement is tempered by the fact that Musk said before that Teslas would be fully autonomous by 2017. That said, I wouldn't slight him for being audacious, as I do believe he was just being overly optimistic rather than scamming the market.
We shouldn't forget everyone's favorite punching bag, Uber, which entered the race in 2015 when they first partnered, then acquired, an entire Carnegie Mellon autonomy lab. Their foray into self-driving abruptly stopped after a tragic accident that killed a pedestrian in Arizona. At this point, it would seem more likely they are going to use the technology rather than develop it themselves.
Driverless cars will create more jobs than they will destroy
In my piece titled "Transport's coming upheaval," published in the original series on TechCrunch, I suggested that new modes of transport, such as autonomous vehicles and hyperloop, would end up creating more jobs than they would eliminate. They, coupled with improvements in remote work technologies, should contribute to lowering the cost of human capital by allowing them to comfortably move outside of urban centers to lower-cost housing.
Job loss has been one of the common themes in the discussion around the innovative transport technologies. Some reports have suggested that autonomous vehicle technology could destroy 300,000 jobs a year, and that hyperloop would have a devastating effect on the trucking industry. But as I previously posited, history shows us that, more often than not, disruptive leaps forward often result in a net gain in employment.
Take, for instance, the introduction of the personal computer in the 1970s. It initially destroyed 3.5 million jobs in total, including those in typewriter manufacturing, secretarial work and bookkeeping. But it went on to help create 19.3 million jobs, in the U.S. alone, across a wide range of industries and occupations, according to McKinsey estimates.
New transport innovations will have a similar effect, creating many new jobs. Even though driverless cars aren't yet available for commercial purchase, there have been developments with the technology that give us a better idea as to how it will likely affect global workforces.
Rather than be a disaster for the world of work, autonomous vehicles and hyperloop could be a boon for employees.
As a whole host of companies, including Waymo, Tesla, Cruise and Ford, strive to make a breakthrough with autonomous vehicle technology, more workers are required to make the driverless car dream a reality. According to the online talent platform ZipRecruiter, the number of job listings related to driverless cars increased 27% year over year in January 2018, and the amount of job postings in the autonomous vehicle sector rose by 250% from the second quarter in 2017 to the second quarter in 2018 due to a hiring spree at the beginning of the year. Indeed, a report from Boston Consulting Group and Detroit Mobility Lab released in January estimated that self-driving and electric cars would create more than 100,000 jobs in the U.S. over the next decade.
In fact, the trucking industry seems ripe for change, and not just because of the benefits that autonomous vehicle technology would bring. There is a shortage of truck drivers in the U.S., according to CNBC. The unemployment rate fell to 3.9% percent in July of last year, meaning companies are struggling to recruit for a job that has long, demanding hours.
Drivers for both trucking and autonomous taxis won't be irrelevant for some time. For trucking, there is a need for a human to secure the cargo and manage the many checkpoints. For taxis, if Waymo's CEO is correct, there will still be routes where the driver may be needed, especially in high traffic cities with variability in routes, road quality, construction and traffic conditions.
As the new transport technologies are slowly introduced, they will indeed eliminate existing jobs after, first, making them much more enjoyable for the workers. But evidence suggests that those jobs will be replaced by new ones that require different experiences and levels of education. Rather than be a disaster for the world of work, autonomous vehicles and hyperloop could be a boon for employees everywhere.
What happened to hyperloop?
Two years ago, there was a ton of buzz around what Elon Musk once deemed a "fifth mode of transport." Hyperloop — a form of terrestrial travel where pod-like vehicles travel in near-vacuum tubes at more than 700 mph — was set to be up-and-running by 2020, with plans to create routes between San Francisco and LA, and Washington and New York.
The impact of this, as I discussed in my original transport series, would be huge for commuting and real estate, and would be a devastating disruptor for short-haul air travel and some trucking routes. Even though hyperloop isn't being talked about in the same way it was, the promising global projects are far from dead. There are still plenty of developments that suggest hyperloop could be a major form of transport in the future.
Virgin Hyperloop One is now testing empty pods along its 1,640-foot-long, 11-foot-high tube just north of Las Vegas; and in October last year, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) unveiled its first full-scale capsules, which it believes will be passenger-ready by the end of 2019. However, many of the widely publicized Hyperloop routes — LA to San Francisco, and Washington to New York — have gone cold in recent years. As have plans to create a high-speed rail across California. In February, California Governor Gavin Newsom said that plans for the new track had been scaled back from the previous grand ambition to connect north to south, saying that, "The project, as currently planned, would cost too much and take too long."
Efficiency isn't the only factor that would put self-driving in good stead against airline competitors.
The financial problems the California high-speed rail track has come up against could be an ominous sign for hyperloop technology in the U.S. These types of transport systems are often vastly expensive (the California high-speed rail project was set to cost $68 billion, if completed), and there's no guarantee they'll return the investment. Taiwan's high-speed rail, for instance, suffered heavy losses due to depreciation charges, interest burdens and lower-than-expected demand. And while Elon Musk claimed the LA to SF hyperloop track would cost as little as $6 billion, the SpaceX founder's estimates have been largely rebuked, with some critics claiming the track would actually cost closer to $100 billion.
Hyperloop is becoming a commercial reality as soon as 2021, just not in the United States. HTT will be building a 10 km track to connect Abu Dhabi to Al Ain and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The hope is to be operational by the universal exposition, Expo 2020, on October 20th, 2020.
Clearly, hyperloop still has a lot of questions to answer if it is to fulfill the expectations placed on it, but leaving the technology by the wayside without further testing would be foolish when taking into consideration the environmental and commuting benefits hyperloop would bring. If the technology proves to be cost efficient and as effective as its proponents have previously claimed, it will still have a huge impact on how we and our cargo travel.
A new way to travel and commute
I continue to believe that self-driving technology will disrupt short-haul air travel in a massive way. Why would you go through the hassle of airport security when a terrestrial mode of transport could get you to your destination even quicker?
Efficiency isn't the only factor that would put self-driving in good stead against airline competitors. Commuting would be easier, too. In all likelihood, traveling by car would be more comfortable and spacious than air travel, but it would also be more amenable to good Wi-Fi connection. In the two years since writing the original series on innovations in transport, in-flight Wi-Fi has improved, but it's often costly and leaves much to be desired.
Autonomous vehicles will be the next step in brick-and-mortar retail innovation.
Volvo, for instance, released an autonomous car concept in September last year of an electric vehicle that can double up as a living room, bedroom and office. The car, named the 360c, benefits from a larger interior thanks to its lack of a bulky combustion engine and steering wheel. The 360c can be configured in four different ways, with spacious seating, a table and a fold-away bed.
This type of travel would revolutionize how we commute. Workers traveling long distances would surely choose to spend more time in a spacious, work-friendly driverless car than by air travel, if it meant they could comfortably work en route. And it's a vision that automotive companies with an eye to autonomous vehicle technology are considering seriously.
Mobile retail
As we've already seen, the claim that new transport innovations such as driverless cars and hyperloop will destroy more jobs than they'll create is specious at best. But that doesn't mean the technology won't change certain roles in the sector.
Already, the role of driver in ridesharing companies is beginning to change and become more enterprising. In July last year, in-car commerce startup Cargo partnered with Uber. The deal allows drivers to sell passengers candy, cosmetics and electronics during the journey. And, according to Cargo's estimates, drivers using its service can earn between $1,500 to $3,000 in extra income per year.
As cars become more autonomous and the form-factors evolve, it will allow the drivers to provide more services to passengers.
This type of new mobile retail could go on to sell far more than just a few select products in an Uber, though, and it may have a knock-on effect on the retail industry as a whole — an assertion I made in the original series.
Two years ago, retail was suffering badly and, in large part, that trend continues as many fail to adapt. Today, it's still in a state of flux, with constant disruptions threatening the future of brick-and-mortar stores. Those stores that are surviving the onslaught are adapting and improving with the latest technology. For instance, many companies, such as Ikea, are using augmented and virtual reality to make the shopping experience more immersive.
The reality is that scooters, e-bikes and other modalities will continue to infiltrate our cities.
Autonomous vehicles will be the next step in brick-and-mortar retail innovation. The technology could allow fleets of stores on wheels to come to consumers on demand straight to their location. When I made the claim two years ago, it may have seemed a bit far-fetched, but since then, plenty of businesses have started utilizing the concept.
Walmart, Ford and Postmates are reportedly collaborating on a pilot program in Miami where goods will be delivered to consumers' doors in a driverless vehicle. They aren't the only ones exploring how to use the technology in retail. In mid-2017, Swedish company Wheelys launched Moby Mart — a fully autonomous, staffless supermarket on wheels. The service currently operates in Shanghai, China, and is available 24/7.
Consumers have shown an increasing appetite for on-demand food delivery services since I wrote the original series. Uber Eats is only three years old, but it's already valued at $20 billion; and one of its main rival, Postmates, made more than 35 million deliveries in 2018. As autonomous vehicle technology becomes more widely adopted, more businesses will see the advantage in using it to deliver efficient services to a growing customer base.
E-bikes have been a steadily growing market since the end of the 20th century, but with the help of on-demand bike sharing they've exploded in major cities. Meanwhile, another form of transport left the playground and moved mainstream. Scooters have long been a staple, but since 2017, they've changed the landscape of short city commutes.
According to a report released by the National Association of City Transportation Officials, riders took nearly 39 million trips on shared electric scooters in 2018. For the first time they surpassed e-bikes by nearly 10%.
The biggest names behind the scooter boom in the U.S. are Lime, Bird and Scoot. Ironically, their scooters are powered by inventor Dean Kamen's technology that was at the heart of the Segway. It only took nearly two decades for his future to be realized with a slight design change.
Although I'm not clear that the scooter rental companies are as big a financial opportunity as their investors are hoping, I do believe they aren't going anywhere. The reality is that scooters, e-bikes and other modalities will continue to infiltrate our cities as urban planners move away from designs centered around automobiles.
The future of innovation in transport
With the setbacks and failed predictions that have been made of autonomous vehicles and hyperloop technology, it would be easy to be skeptical if they will come at all. But, as is often the case with innovation and change, adoption can be slow, and there are often unforeseeable delays. However, with so many startups and major global businesses — from Waymo to Virgin — betting heavily on the future of hyperloop and autonomous vehicles, it's surely a question of when rather than if they come to pass.
As we've seen, these technologies have made huge strides in the two years since I wrote the original series, and the applications of them are starting to be realized. And those applications go far beyond faster, more convenient travel. As more businesses sit up and take notice of the potential driverless cars and hyperloop have to offer, they will continue to shape the future of transport, retail, work and much more.

Q: QCombobox text aligment Привет! Подскажите, как текст в QCombobox поставить по центру. В гугле основной вариант предлагают следующий:
QComboBox comboBox;
comboBox.setEditable(true);
comboBox.lineEdit()->setReadOnly(true);
comboBox.lineEdit()->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
comboBox.addItem("Nemesis");
comboBox.addItem("Erebus");
comboBox.addItem("Nix");
for (int i = 0 ; i < comboBox.count() ; ++i) {
comboBox.setItemData(i, Qt::AlignCenter, Qt::TextAlignmentRole);
но comboBox.lineEdit()->setReadOnly(true); и comboBox.lineEdit()->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter); не могут выполнится т.к. у lineEdit() таких методов нет. Подскажите, как быть?
P.S Qt 5.6

A: Всё правильно предлагают, проблема скорее всего заключается в том, что вы забыли добавить #include <QLineEdit>.
