Thank you for your interest in becoming a part of The Ohio State University Marching Band! Registration is required to participate in tryouts.
The Ohio State Marching Band is an all-brass-and-percussion marching band. There are plenty of opportunities for woodwind players at Ohio State, though! Many woodwind players learn to play a brass or percussion instrument and have had success in making the band. For other opportunities, learn more about our Athletic Band program or other concert bands in the School of Music.
All candidates that have not been members of the Marching Band in past years are required to attend Candidate Days. These days are meant to introduce new candidates to what will be expected during tryouts.
For additional practice on our music and marching fundamentals, we encourage you to attend Summer Sessions, our optional rehearsals that run from June through early August.
Tryouts will be held on August 11-12, with Candidate Days on August 9-10 being required for all who have not been members of The Ohio State University Marching Band before. Tryouts are open to all students eligible to register at Ohio State and those at Columbus State Community College and other area institutions eligible to register through the Higher Education Council of Columbus (HECC).
If you are planning on trying out for the Marching Band, we suggest you register for the class for the autumn 2019 semester, as it is easier to drop the class than adjusting an existing class schedule. The course number for marching band is MUSIC 2205.01 (or MUSIC 7205.01 for graduate students). If you are enrolling at an institution other than Ohio State, please check with your advisor on how to add the course.
If you have not previously checked out an instrument for Summer Sessions, you will be able to check one out on your designated first day of tryouts.
Auditions for The Ohio State University Marching Band take place over two days. All students who have not previously been members of the marching band are also required to attend Candidate Days.
Thursday, August 8: Squad leader tryouts, 9 a.m. to noon, 2-5 p.m.
Friday, August 9: Candidate Day 1 (for all who have not previously been members of the marching band), 2-5 p.m., 7-9 p.m. Registration will be open at the Band Center from noon-2 p.m. There will be an optional meeting for parents at 2:30 p.m.
Saturday, August 10: Candidate Day 2, 9 a.m. to noon, 2-5 p.m.
Sunday, August 11: OSUMB Tryouts Day 1 for all candidates, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Secondary instrument auditions and music/marching re-auditions, 7-9 p.m.
Monday, August 12: OSUMB Tryouts Day 2 for all candidates, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; 2019 band selected ~9 p.m.
Tryouts consist of two elements, each worth half of the total audition score: a music audition and a marching audition. Music auditions consist of scales (chromatic and major scales up to 4 sharps and 4 flats), prepared exercises, school songs, and sight-reading. Students are evaluated on tone quality, rhythmic accuracy, technical facility, articulation, stylistic interpretation, and overall musicianship and preparedness. Prepared music will be emailed to students three weeks before tryouts. Registered students may request school songs by emailing osumb@osu.edu. Marching auditions consist of the basic OSUMB marching fundamentals, 8-to-5 marching, and playing while marching.
Those trying out for The Ohio State University Marching Band will also need to know the fundamentals of our marching style.
For tryouts, candidates must have four songs memorized: Fight the Team, Buckeye Battle Cry, Hang On Sloopy and OSUMBlus. Candidates must also perform the appropriate tryout sheet for their instrument, which contains musical exercises. The tryout sheet will be made available to those who have registered three weeks prior to tryouts. The tryout sheet does not need to be memorized.
For those with an on-campus housing contract for the 2019-2020 academic year, early move-in is available to you at a per-day cost until the official move-in day. To make early arrival arrangements, please contact University Housing.
For those that make the band, the hard work continues! Three-a-day rehearsals begin at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, August 13, and will continue through Friday, August 16.

KARLSTAD, Sweden, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Prosecutors in Sweden said a man on trial for growing marijuana was spared jail due to the low quality of his plants.
The Varmland court heard the 35-year-old man had grown the plants at his home for his personal use before they were discovered by police and he was arrested, The Local reported Friday.
However, tests conducted on the plants found very low levels of Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the main active ingredient in marijuana, so the man was spared a prison sentence, prosecutors said.
"That's an evaluation that the court will make. If (the drugs) don't work, it could lead to a milder sentence," said Sara Malmhester of the Swedish Prosecution Authority. "The level (of THC) in the drugs affects the sentence, since a better plant produces more of the drug to be abused."
Prosecutor Ludmila Pronko said it was "reasonable" to spare prison in this case.


Just read it as it is. Vote kicks are disabled in the Opt-In. That's good.
Don't forget to read it in context to OP.
I just hope that Dev's don't read my post as a negative thing when it's a positive post.
@-Ner0- You are right. There is a lot of abuse of vote kick, even on official servers. Some kick people on official servers so that their clan mates can play. Perhaps disabling it was not a bad idea at all.
Even new players, a lot of them get kicked on official for playing "noob". This is a really bad thing - disappointed newcomers.
Yeah.. that is very common.
I don't use VOIP because I don't like talking to people I'm not familiar with and I believe at least half the people who play don't use it. This only leaves text chat as a means to communicate. I'm really hoping that global text chat returns and the mute button would mute the offending player's text chat as well as VOIP. This way, you don't have to listen or read those offending comments. Mute button works great with VOIP, so I don't understand why it can't be used for text chat as well. Disabling the global chat is not a good idea for everyone who don't use VOIP. Thanks.
We are hiding the ping for a few reasons.
We are not limiting the ping on the Official servers, despite that some players take it into their own hands to kick pings they deem "unworthy".
The vast majority of the time ping is discussed in server it's one person yelling at another person for their number.
Private server admins will still be able to have their own ping rules and check the pings of their players.
Again, this is just on the Officials.
Look at it this way. The Official servers are Army run places for people to play.
We want a game that anyone can play without being harassed or abused, and that parents can play with their kids.
The Official servers should be as close to a safe place for this to happen as possible, and that's just not the case right now.
We will continue to look at more options with all of this, but understand that our end goal here is for the Official servers to be just good clean places to play.
I just don't get some of these higher ups decisions. They have the rank, but don't know how to manage and surely aren't gamers.
This isn't from some high up out of touch person, this is from the core team. Sadly there is just a lot of toxic behavior on the servers, and that isn't what we want in our game.
These decisions are being made to combat toxicity, and honestly are decisions plenty of other FPS games have made for the same reasons.
I all for a safe server but there should be some sort of limit. Although most players know to pick a low ping server there is still new people out there that will just pick a server and play because they do not understand that playing with high ping will affect their gameplay and experience. I have seen players playing with 250+ ping. that makes them a quarter of a second behind the game server. Maybe a warning in game that you have a high ping and that it will affect gameplay and a suggestion to find a server with a lower ping. Like a flash up on screen at beginning of round for high pingers only. then they can choose to look for a lower ping server or continue playing.
In the OP it says no global text chats for official servers. I know it still works on private servers.
Text chatting is also more risky now as I often get the cursor bug where I can't move my character after revive.
I don't thank players after revive now due to the bug.
We reversed ourselves and enabled global VOIP and text chat by default.
The various input problems such as the dreaded cursor bug you mention is something we are looking into. That and the mission editor issues are top priority for us currently.
The easier ways to fix this rather than remove the votekick option completely.
- 1 vote per match allowed per player.
- a vote cannot be cast in the first round or start of match.
- If the server has 24 players in it 12 on one team 12 on another 80% of the server must vote inorder for the votekick to pass. (That would mean atleast 19 players would have to vote. I doubt votekick can still be abused if 19 players need to vote. In a 6v6 server with 6 on one 6 on the other that would require 10 votes.
- I can probably come up with more examples but yah this simple band-aid fix of removing votekick instead of fixing a broken system, is a joke. Same with hiding ping, I know when someone is lagging across my screen, I know when someone is taking more bullets to kill than others, I know when a players ping is too high causing a bad gameplay experience for me and everyone else. Removing ping only makes it a guessing game for some and no exposes the bad reg, or bad gameplay due to high, but instead of blaming it just on high ping it will now be blamed on the game and will surely cause people to think its bad. It's what it is I can manage without seeing a players ping I just know a new person to fps won't, and probably even a new person to this game but experienced fps player won't realize the game doesn't have that bad of reg its just the high pings and because they won't be able to realize that they are going to experience this terrible gameplay quite often and probably quit playing the game for good. Just look at how many people you had on at the sametime when this game came out of beta to what you have now. Then times that by a magic number and you notice a bunch of people decided to try the game out and left. Compare that with old numbers and you get about 25% or so (2129-1296=833...Average peak for past 3 days or so is about 1500 so 1500-1296=204 so 204 players divided into 833 players is about 25%) So about 1 in 4 players that try this game actually continue playing it in the 16 days of history we have so far and I am sure that percentage will only keep dropping.
Today on a private server, a player [mod edit] kicked out two players because time was running out in Bridge and he claimed they were too slow for attack(i think new players). Unfortunately I could not vote no as I was stuck with cursor bug.
Guys this topic should be closed as the Beta and Opt In (which the announcement is for) are no longer in operation. You will have to take your comments to a new thread.
Actually the voting changes still apply to the new launch. So the post is still relevant.
And I was talking about a private server which had kicking enabled.

How Many OG Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Games There Will Be "It's Too Early To Say"
There will be a library of games.
During E3 2017 Microsoft made an extraordinary announcement that there would be support for original Xbox Games on the Xbox One including the already confirmed Xbox 360 game support. The list of current Xbox 360 games is past 385 games and it looks like it will continue to grow. But will the lineup of OG Xbox games be as big? It's "too early to say," according to Microsoft's Dave McCarthy, but it sounds like it will not be.
While at E3 2017 Microsoft only talked about Crimson Skies and Fuzion Frenzy. However, they did say there are more games up and running.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer confirmed earlier this month that the line up of Original Xbox games would be smaller than that of Xbox 360 games.
The OG Xbox backward compatibility program for Xbox One launches later this year. Are there any games that you are wanting to see!

Wolfgang Büchner was editor in chief of Spiegel and Spiegel Online from September 2013 to December 2014. Büchner's former deputies, Florian Harms and Barbara Hans, headed Spiegel Online after Büchner left the company. On 13 January 2015, Harms was appointed sole editor in chief.
Spiegel Online first went up on 25 October 1994, making it the first online presence of an established news magazine, one day before the Time site. SPON started as a service on CompuServe. The web domain spiegel.de was established one year later. SPON's content initially consisted of hand-picked articles from the print magazine. As early as 1995, however, original content first appeared in a section called "Scanner," which was only available online. In the following year, Spiegel Online was relaunched and commenced featuring breaking news as well.

How about a book on DIY Made Easy?
Do people read more during a credit crunch, or less? How much are book sales affected during a recession? How many authors will join the dole queue over the next 18 months?
People want to escape when times are hard, so maybe romantic and fantasy fiction will benefit at the expense of gritty, kitchen-sink novels. But people also need inspiring, so stories where the hero or heroine struggles against adversity – and triumphs – will be in demand.
The problem is that it takes something like two years from writing to being published, even if your book is accepted by a publisher, by which time the recession should have bottomed out. So you need to write your book quickly (The Fastest Way to Write Your Book by Dave Haslett can help you there) and why not finesse the slush pile by publishing it yourself (ideas4writers.co.uk is worth checking out)?
Don't restrict yourself to writing the next fiction blockbuster. You can bet that bookstores will be bursting with books on the subject of how to survive the recession. How about championing a resurgence in knitting and home dressmaking? A survival recipe book? Home decorating on the cheap?
And finally, concentrate on getting your books into libraries rather than bookstores, for in a recession I'm sure people rediscover the joy of borrowing books rather than buying them!

Having saved the world from thousands of replicating metal bugs at the end of Season Three, the fourth season of Stargate SG-1 kicked off with Col. Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) and the SG-1 team discovering that one Replicator bug escaped destruction when Thor's ship crashed into the ocean — and it's found its way onto a Russian submarine where it's killed the crew and is busily, well, replicating. So O'Neill and Teal'c (Christopher Judge) take to the sub with a slew of armed commandos while Carter (Amanda Tapping) goes to Thor's home planet to try and help destroy the replicators there. After a less-than-sparkling third season, SG-1 got back in the groove in Season Four, with surprisingly complex character development — especially for nice-guy Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), who got to exhibit a bit of his dark side — and a subtle-yet-undeniable attraction between O'Neill and Carter. Episode highlights include the often-hilarious "Window of Opportunity," in which O'Neill and Teal'c get trapped, Groundhog Day-like, in the same recurring ten-hour time cycle; "Beneath the Surface," which finds the team toiling in an underground alien power station with no memory of their previous lives; "Entity," in which an alien intelligence downloads itself into the SG command center's computers — then starts to build itself a new "body" while sucking up information from the system; "Double Jeopardy," with the team battling the evil, evil Cronos with the help of their android doubles; and "Upgrades," in which a Tok'ra scientist outfits O'Neill, Teal'c, and Carter with armbands that give them extraordinary strength and speed — and which, they discover, are not only endangering their lives but can't be removed. Each season of Stargate Sg-1 ends with a thrilling cliffhanger, and Season Four was no exception — in "Exodus," the SG-1 crew travels to the Tok'ra home world, outs a Goa'uld spy, and ends the episode on board a crippled ship far from their own galaxy, with Apophis (Peter Williams) and his fleet closing in. Yikes! MGM's boxed set includes all 22 episodes on five discs in letterboxed widescreen (1.78:1) with Dolby 2.0 Surround audio. As with Season Three, the picture quality is excellent, rich and saturated with sparkling detail. Extras include (for the first time) optional commentaries on every episode by SG-1 directors, visual-effects supervisors, and cinematographers; these are geektastic yack-tracks, with an immense amount of technical detail and background information (frequent show director Peter DeLuise's tracks are especially entertaining); featurettes on visual effects and the show's alien races; and the excellent 25-minute featurette "Stargate SG-1: Timeline to the Future — Legacy of the Gate," part one of a three-part documentary, which starts with the show's conception and covers a lot of ground from casting to some genuinely surprising details — like the fact that the 22-foot-high stargate created for the show actually turns and locks into place via computer operation, with keyboard commands determining the combination of chevrons for the gate's "address." Five keep-cases in a paperboard slipcase.

Ox Notes: March 14, 2008
Last night's episode of Survivor: Micronesia was a doozy. Even though I knew it was coming, I teared up when Jonathan Penner had to leave the game for medical treatment. And I can't believe Chet ruined a chance at one of the biggest blindsides ever, passing on the chance to make himself a Survivor legend. Instead, he'll forever be remembered as that useless beauty pageant guy.
Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas (no, not the guy from Matchbox 20) has two cool projects in the works. He's reviving his short-lived show Cupid for ABC, and the CW has commissioned him to write a Beverly Hills, 90210 spin-off.
Nickelodeon is working on a couple of interesting projects of its own. The kids' network has plans for a dance competition show for teens, and is preparing to launch a multiplayer online green game to promote environmental awareness.
Cast members of Battlestar Galactica will present a special Top 10 List on Late Night with David Letterman on Wednesday, March 19, presumably to help promote Tuesday's release of the BSG Season 3 DVD.
I just noticed a totally kick-ass feature at TVShowsOnDVD.com. They have a complete list of Amazon sales on TV show DVD sets that is updated hourly, and can be sorted by the percentage discounted off the suggested retail price, with a minimum of 35% off. As of this writing, there are 279 titles available for 50% off or more. Sweet!
Evil Dead director Sam Raimi is working on a new horror reality show for the CW. 13, which debuts this summer, will eliminate contestants through a series of scary challenges.
This show sounds an awful lot like MTV's Fear, which tortured willing young adults by sending them to supposedly haunted locales and making them sit alone in the dark for hours at a time. Believe it or not, it was exceptionally entertaining to watch contestants freak themselves out.
Take, for example, my favorite contestant, Holly. One of her challenges at a haunted military academy involved enduring a mild electrical shock. Her whiny valley girl voice made her exaggeration of the pain and minimal understanding of electrical conductivity all the more memorable: "I hope nothing's physically wrong with me. I have piercings on my body and stuff." (Quote is at the 5:00 mark in the video below.)
I hope to see you all on Monday night for our first Dancing with the Stars live chat of Season 6. A post at the MOIB homepage will direct you to the chat, and we'll discuss the show live during the East Coast broadcast, which starts at 8 EST. West Coasters and those outside the U.S. are welcome to join in if you just can't wait to find out what happened on the show.
Can't wait to talk to you on Monday night!

Q: static stylesheet with google app engine I am new on developing, so please be patiente :)
I decide to design my site with jetstrap (visual designer for bootstrap), download the html and then programming the back-end with python and upload it to google app engine.
When I download the files from jetstrap, I have a folder with my html and a folder named assets with 3 folders inside. CSS, images, js.
If I open the html with a browser, I can see the site like I design it. But if I render it with python and open it on localhost, I see it without any css.
I try to add the folder to app.yamal
application: web-development-test
version: 1
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: yes

handlers:
- url: /templates/assets
  static_dir: stylesheet

- url: .*
  script: main.app

libraries:
- name: jinja2
  version: latest

templates is the folder on my application dir with all my htmls and assets the folder with css, js and images.
A part of html from jetstrap is:
<link href="assets/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <style>
      body { padding-top: 60px; /* 60px to make the container go all the way
      to the bottom of the topbar */ }
    </style>

I see the rel=stylesheet there, that's why I add on app.yamal the static_dir: stylesheet
Almost everything I have done, are from online tutorials.
Thank you in advance!
Edit:
The whole structure of my app folder
google project
    app.yaml
    favicon.ico
    index.yaml
    main.py
    templates
        page1.html
        page2.html
        assets
           css
           img
           js

A: The first handler in your app.yaml says "make the directory stylesheets (to be found in the app root) available at the URL path /templates/assets." This is probably the reverse of what you want. Try this handler instead:
- url: /assets
  static_dir: templates/assets

That will make it so that, for example, http://localhost:8090/assets/css/bootstrap.css returns the file at templates/assets/css/bootstrap.css. Assuming page1.html is served at / or /page1 or similar, that should do what you want.

A: The order of handler might cause the problems:
url: /stylesheets static_dir: stylesheets
url: /.* script: helloworld.application
will work instead of
url: /.* script: helloworld.application
url: /stylesheets static_dir: stylesheets

A: I had the same problem. I followed everything to the latter even the indentation error in the app.yaml file as can be seen here.
I fixed the indentation and that was it.

Q: How do I break down a feature that has complex dependencies? Picture this feature:

Respond to a user from the event stream

The event stream is like Twitter's home page, a stream of messages or events that were triggered by any number of users. The feature is to build a reply feature to one of the messages. Think the ability to reply to a tweet from the your personalised homepage on Twitter.
So in my eyes, this project has many facets:

*

*Frontend Modal Window to Trigger the Event

*Permissions to discern whether or not a user can reply

*Backend endpoint for submission of reply

*Connection to our notification system to tell the message's user that they have a reply

*Validation to ensure the reply meets our criteria

How do we break this down? It seems simple, I take those 5 tasks, and I change them into user stories or tasks (whichever is appropriate).
However, in Scrum, using INVEST principles, each story should be at the very least releasable and independent. However, in this case, I cannot do the validation until the backend endpoint and the frontend modal window has been completed, so this fails the test of being independent and releasable. Furthermore, I cannot react to permissions issues until the frontend work has been done, and this would also impact the backend endpoint. Included within this, is the fact that we need the database schema (and the model) for the replies, which acts as a dependency for the entire project.
I'm struggling to adhere to Scrum and INVEST when speccing projects because of how tightly dependent they all are on each other. It's specifically the ability to make them independent and releasable that I just can't seem to fathom. Can someone help?

A: I see two possible options.
First, don't break down the item. In this case, the work item (the story, ticket, whatever) represents the minimum valuable delivery of the work and can be estimated by the team and worked on. The team may break this out into subtasks (either in a tool or informally) and work on it, but the work is tracked at the level and is considered done as the work progresses through its life cycle.
Second, break down the item into smaller pieces, each of which can be developed and tested, but may not necessarily be deployable. After each piece, you can confirm that the system is functional (no loss of existing functionality) and you can execute some level of testing against the work done, but the individual pieces may not have value for the end user and may not be shippable until all pieces are done. However, depending on the order of the work, you may be able to also include stubs and give an incomplete picture for stakeholder (perhaps internal stakeholders, perhaps external stakeholders) review and feedback, but not in a production or deployed environment.
There's no one right or wrong answer here. I've seen both be successful.

A: I'm going to lean towards breaking it down.
Yes what they asked for is all of it and they might not find any final use for the parts. I like to break it down anyway. Here why:
At the end of every sprint you show something. That something might be a miserable failure but you show it when you're supposed to show it. That showing gives them some idea where you are. What direction you're going in. And if you've completely misunderstood what they want. It also gives them a chance to realize they didn't ask for what they need.
My first deliverable for this would likely be nothing more than something that could read an event stream. From that I'd learn things. Like if they cared that I was ignoring pictures. It's the things nobody thinks to even ask about until they're looking at something that this helps you learn.
You can argue that this isn't releasable but I'd rather hide this in an Easter egg than go too long without putting something in front of my product owner. Probably wouldn't even have a GUI. Would just dump the stream it saw as text to standard out. Maybe I'm crazy. I also like sprints that are no more than a week long.

Q. How do I remove ivy on trees?
Ivy is not good for trees. Once it takes over, the tree will suffer from lack of light in its canopy. One of the safest techniques, so as not to harm the tree, is to cut the vines at the base (all of them). In the coming months the top part of the vine will die, making it easier to remove the dead ivy without harming the bark of the tree. Removing all the roots would be a good idea, since the ivy will just keep coming back if any roots are left in the soil.

Tesla Model 3 could possibly include solar roofs, thanks to Panasonic's latest technology
Sticky Post By CT-WebDesigners On March 7, 2017
If you stay updated with Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk's musings, then you might remember that he once talked about a solar roof variant of the Model 3 on Twitter last year. At the time, the masses were pretty divided about the same being true due to the non-existence of such solar technology. But, Panasonic, a long time supplier for Tesla, seems to have come through with a new solar roof tech in tow.
Panasonic recently unveiled its new technology called HIT Photovoltaic Module for Automobile, solving the power generation issue in solar roofing for vehicles. Earlier, we had been faced with the glaring problem that solar panels atop the vehicles don't generate enough electricity to power much of anything. Panasonic integrated its solar cells in the roof of a Toyota Prius PHV last year, but it could only generate 50W. This was enough to power just the fans for the AC in the vehicle.
But, the Japanese technology giant has now developed a new solar roof product with the ability to generate 180W power. This module is the first-ever to successfully be able to generate enough power to charge an electric vehicle powertrain and other 12V batteries. This new solar roofing technology is particularly intriguing as it has the ability to charge lithium-ion batteries that make the powertrain in Tesla vehicles.
Panasonic has described the technology in its official blog post as under:
Panasonic's solar cells have a unique structure that combines a crystalline silicon substrate and an amorphous silicon film, and feature high conversion efficiency and excellent temperature characteristics.
Conventional automotive solar cells can output up to several tens of watts and have been used only for the auxiliary charging of 12 V batteries and ventilation power sources for parked cars; however, the use of the features of Panasonic's solar cells allow a high output (approx.180 W) in a limited area on a car's roof, enabling the charging of the drive lithium-ion batteries as well as 12 V batteries, resulting in a possible extension of an EV's travel distance and increased in fuel economy.
This new technology has currently only been launched for the new Prius Prime, but the company hints that the said technology would eventually make its way to other electric vehicles in the coming years. This means that a Model 3 with the solar roof will actually be an option available for people to choose from – but may be in the near future. Yes, it would take time as the said module isn't as capable as we might have imagined. At the moment, it is only leading to a 10 percent increase in the car's operational efficiency, which adds ~2 miles tops to an electric vehicle's range — which is also questionable.
Panasonic is highly optimistic about the success of this technology and will continue to work on the advancement of its solar roof solution. It might also bring in Tesla to advice and participate in the development of the same at their Buffalo solar plant, which is being run co-jointly by them. Panasonic has recently pumped in a massive $256 million into the said operations and plans to begin production of SolarCity's next-gen classy solar roof panels later this year. Also, Model 3 production and shipments are scheduled to begin in a couple months. So, stay tuned!

The history of the firm can be traced back by examining its two different origins: the origin of State Advocacy and the origin of the firm in its own right.
The origins of the State Advocacy date back to the start of the fourteenth century, long before those of the firm, which has only been called Pels Rijcken & Droogleever Fortuijn since 1969. However, the history of the two different law firms that merged on 1 January 1969 to become Pels Rijcken & Droogleever Fortuijn reaches back as far as the nineteenth century.
The law firm Pels Rijcken was founded by Leonard Pels Rijcken. After his graduation, he began working for his father's firm in Breda; his father was a lawyer too, as was Leonard's grandfather before him. In 1935, he moved to The Hague to work at the office of Van Doorn, Esq. His first cases there involved joy-riding, something which was not punishable by law at the time which meant that the joy rider could only be charged with the theft of petrol. He also worked on the case of a widow who had been swindled by a civil-law notary. In 1946, Van Doorn retired from the practice, and the practice was therefore continued by Leonard Pels Rijcken and four partners. At the time of the merger, in 1969, the firm Pels Rijcken had four partners. In addition to Pels Rijcken these partners were C.H. Beelaerts van Blokland, A. Korthals Altes and J. Pruim.
Eduard Droogleever Fortuijn was brought up in China, but returned to the Netherlands to attend the gymnasium, a pre-university grammar school. He went on to study in Leiden, and after graduating, started work as an attorney at Nauta en Lambert in Rotterdam in 1938. By 1939, he had already left to work for Nysingh and De Kanter in The Hague. After his military service, during which he was posted to the Dutch East Indies, he was employed by the firm of G.W. van der Does, Esq. LL. M., who was the State Advocate at that time. Eduard was known to be a very modest person, who placed a great deal of importance on the social aspects of the legal profession, as evidenced by the pro bono cases he took on. In addition, he also worked as an unpaid supervisory director of the Nutsspaarbank and was on the board of a housing corporation for people of little means. He succeeded Van der Does, Esq. to the position of State Advocate in 1965. In 1969, his firm consisted of three partners. Besides Eduard Droogleever Fortuijn, these partners were S. Gratema and G.W. van der Does.
Pels Rijcken & Droogleever Fortuijn initially set up office on the Javastraat, and later moved via the Stichthage office building (the office building that serves as the entrance to The Hague Central Station) to Babylon in 1984. Since 2010 Pels Rijcken & Droogleever Fortuijn has had its office in New Babylon.
On 1 January 1992, civil-law notary services were added to the practice, initially only with civil-law notary firm Van Lonkhuijzen, Van Dullemen & Gallas. On 1 November 1999, an agreement was signed with almost the entire civil-law notary department of the The Hague branch of De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, led by Wenda Kroon-Welp and Pieter Klapwijk. On 1 January 2006, Pels Rijcken's business structure was converted from a partnership into a public company.
Over the years, Pels Rijcken has handled innumerable cases and has given thousands of legal recommendations.

PENNSYLVANIA LOOKOUTS
March 19, 1931: "Harry H. Chamberlin of Duncansville, forestry Inspector for the state department of forests and waters, with the assistance of state police, is investigating the entering and robbing of the cabin at the tri-county fire tower on Tussey mountain between Martinsburg and Saxton, which was broken into and robbed several days ago.
The cabin is occupied during the forest fire season by the towerman but during the winter months is unoccupied. While making an inspection several days ago. It was found that it had been broken into and considerable damage was done to the building and approximately $50 worth of goods taken. Damage to the structure was estimated at $25 and resulted when an attempt was made to jimmy the lock on the door. Unsuccessful in gaining entry by the door, the covering was ripped from the window and the glass broken and the place was then entered through the window.
Trace of the loot is said to have been uncovered by Mr. Chamberlin and the officers assisting him in investigating the affair and it is expected that sufficient evidence to warrant arrests being made will be found within a day or two. Mr. Chamberlin's son is towerman and the cabin was last occupied by him several weeks ago." (The Altoona Mirror)
July 28, 1975: "The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources, Bureau of Forestry, offers for sale to the highest bidder, for removal, Tri-County Fire Tower and Building 6-Ca-7, North Woodbury Township, Blair County.
For further information and the necessary bid forms, contact District Forester E. Gary Scott, 131 Hillcrest Drive, Ebensburg, Pa. 15931, telephone 814-472-8320, prior to August 13, 1975." (Altoona Mirror)


Following a probe into 23 safety recalls and 11 million cars – which resulted in a record-setting $105 million fine – it appears that Fiat Chrysler is getting a little bit of good news from federal regulators. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has decided to not open an investigation into nearly five million other vehicles over power system failures.
The regulator denied a 2014 petition [PDF] from the Center for Auto Safety that called for an investigation into an electrical power control module used by the car maker in multiple vehicles produced since 2007.
According to NHTSA's denial [PDF], regulators found "no valid evidence" to support the claims in the petition.
Last August, the advocacy group filed a request for the investigation, contending that defects in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) could result in engine stalls, airbag non-deployment, failure of fuel pump shutoff resulting in unintended acceleration, fire and other issues.
Vehicles covered by the petition included Ram pickup trucks, Chrysler and Dodge minivans, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wrangler, as well as Dodge Durango and Journey SUVs.
In September 2014, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation opened an evaluation into the petition. At that time, regulators began analyzing data provided by the Center for Auto Safety and complaints submitted to NHTSA from consumers.
In all, NHTSA says there were 296 complaints submitted by the advocacy group and 76 complaints in its own database. While investigators found no safety defect trends, they did find field analysis that indicated model year 2011 to 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles had higher complaint rates for fuel pump relay failure.
Later that same month, Fiat Chrysler notified NHTSA that it would recall 188,723 model year 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles. In February of this year, the company expanded the recall to cover an additional 338,216 model year 2012 to 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee and model year 2012 Dodge Durango vehicles.
Despite the recall initiated by Fiat Chrysler, NHTSA's investigation determined that the Center for Auto Safety's allegations were not supported.
"No valid evidence was presented in support of claims related to airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration or fire resulting from TIPM faults and these claims were found to be wholly without merit based on review of the field data and design of the relevant systems and components," the notice states.
NHTSA says that any additional investigation into the matter is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to vehicle safety exists in the vehicles.
"Therefore, in view of the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the agency's safety mission, the petition is denied," the notice concludes.
Clarence Ditlow, executive director for the Center for Auto Safety, tells the Associated Press, that he considers the two recalls issued by Fiat Chrysler to be a victory.
He says that the Center would continue to monitor the issues to determine if other vehicles could be covered by the stalling recall.

Q: How are defending Pokémon's CP adjusted? In the recent update to Pokémon Go (Android version 0.42.2, iOS version 1.11.2), changes were made to the way training gyms worked. According to the patch notes:

Trainers can now bring six Pokémon to battle at friendly Gyms. The CP of the Pokémon you are battling may be temporarily adjusted lower for your training session.

How is this determined? I have attackers ranging in CP from the mid-1000s to low-2000s. Will the temporary adjustment only take into account my highest CP Pokémon overall, or will it adjust depending on what I have selected to take into battle with me?

A: According to this post:

Defending Pokemon CP now scales down based on your trainer level. If a Pokemon is higher level than your trainer, its level will scale down to your trainer level + 2 and its CP will be lowered accordingly for that battle.

Therefore, the scaling down is not dependent on your Pokemon's CP, but rather your trainer level compared to the defending Pokemon's level.

Hyde Park Hudson
The Roosevelt clan has an intricate history that can get convoluted in many branches of their family tree across New York. Teddy Roosevelt was all the rage two years ago when my brother and I visited Sagamore Hill. This year, we turned our sights to Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt, his wife but also his distant-some-number-removed cousin. Don't ask me to explain it. The tree is confusing. Ask a park ranger. They know everything.
Incidentally, I'd just seen that sprawling tribute to FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt in DC, so I was primed for this occasion.
We got up to the Roosevelt headquarters in time for a tour of the home. Because we were a small group, we fit on the little tram that took us from the park building to the house. A distance of maybe a three minute walk, so we felt kind of silly taking a ride. But what were we gonna do? Be jerks and say, Nope! We're better than all of you and prefer to walk! Jerk move, no thank you.
The views from the back of the house sparkle and gleam. The inside of the house is mostly roped off (and we couldn't go upstairs because it was hot and there was no A/C, and again, we wouldn't have minded, but again, we're not going to be the jerks). The most interesting thing about the house is the glass walkway installed over the stairs and ramp from the foyer into the office. It preserves not only the physical materials but also the fact that a President of the United States who was nominated and then elected for four terms did all that while needing the assistance of 10-pound braces and a wheelchair. We need more of that can-do attitude these days. And maybe a bit more of a return to class. At least, like, civility. At least, like, in public.
We moved onto the library. Fact: The FDR Presidential Library was the first presidential library and he used it while in office. This is the point of a library. This library has his car in the basement, too. Letters to the president hang on the wall, and not all of them are complimentary. One guy wrote a letter to say how he was disappointed in his vote for FDR. Someone else sent him a recipe.
The exhibit showed posters from the world wars, complete with an alert at the beginning to warn that there would be insensitive references to Japanese Americans. There was not warning that it would also have completely sexist materials, but I guess that's just, like, everything, so no warning needed. I kept thinking, oh that might be racist, and, hmm, that's got a bit of the racism. Then I turned a corner and saw a poster that started out Jappy Jappy, and was like, ahhh, there's the racism. Which means that racism appears on lots of levels from subtle to in-yo-face. The sexism I simply stopped taking note of. Because I'm a girl. Thinking is hard.
These posters really made me realize how much World War II was the main focus of life in the United States at that time. One war played part in the country taking a turn for the worse. Then another war made the country start to thrive. Everyone had a part. Don't travel because traveling is for the troops! Rationing means the troops get to eat! Gossip gets troops killed! Hey, Ladies, write a letter to a fella!
Another Fact: The iconic Rosie The Riveter campaign did not catch on until much later as part of widespread nostalgia and a move towards feminism.
It would be nice if one day we could have peace unite us and thrive on that. The military's goal would be to help in times of natural disaster and need. It would be really, really nice.
The rest of the library houses: the war-room complete with maps and rotary phones; FDR's office that includes a copy of Ferdinand the Bull; a statue made out of pieces from the Berlin Wall; drawers and drawers and drawers of archived files.
The grounds also have a rose garden that grows roses and other pretty things. There lies the Roosevelts and their dog, too.
Onto Val-Kill, the side of Val-Kill Industries and the home that Eleanor owned. There's another long story about all that, which I cannot even begin to retell. Again, ask a park ranger. The tid-bit I remember clearly is that Mrs. Robinson, that song from The Graduate that really has nothing to do with The Graduate, was originally entitled Mrs. Roosevelt. Mind. Blown. Right?
Upon arrival, a park ranger in a tram asked if we would like a ride up to the the Vistor's Center. Because when we pulled in I'd literally said out loud, I wonder where we go now, I said to the guy, Sure thing! We took a very quick ride up a small hill on a dirt road and over a one-lane bridge that's smaller than my driveway. Again, we felt a little silly, but really, this help us figure out where to go. (Later on when we were leaving, the tram ranger pulled up next to us and asked if we wanted a ride back. We politely declined.)
We stood in the room where Eleanor Roosevelt spoke to JFK when he came to ask for her support. She agreed to support him only if civil rights were a major part of his platform. We stood in a room where much of the furniture had been made on-sight. We stood in rooms that were only a percentage of the original because the grounds had not originally been declared a landmark and everything was sold at auction.
Hey, if you bought something from that auction, return it. It's history. And don't be a jerk and ask for lots of money for it. Eleanor Roosevelt did lots of good things, so do a good thing, back.
Also, at some point in wandering through rooms of files and historical content, I realized that Herbert Hoover and J. Edgar Hoover weren't related. Okay, to be completely honest, I knew that there was a Herbert Hoover and I knew that there was a J. Edgar Hoover, but in my mind, somehow, they were the same person. So when I posed the question, When was Hoover in charge of the FBI, before or after his presidency?, my brother literally palm-slapped his forehead. And I was like, Oh, yeah, two names, two people, were they related, though? Another palm-to-forehead. So that's a no. I'm a teacher!
Then it was time to walk over the Hudson. Walk Over The Hudson is a pedestrian/cyclist span across the Hudson. It gets you really close to the sun in 90 degree heat, but the wind from the elevation is a nice trade-off.
Because we were in the direct sun, I put on my hat. My head shape and hats do not play nicely. Because we were in the direct sun, I was sweating buckets, which should surprise no one. Additionally, I had on my free sunglasses that I got at Summer Solstice. What I'm getting at here is that I clearly was the most attractive gal out and about in the Hudson Valley. Back it down, gents! Back. It. Down.
Even nicer are the views. Stunning. Truly stunning.
Also stunning, quite literally, are lightening strikes, as this sign hints towards.
Capping off the day, we ate at a diner. My favorite type of restaurant! Eveready Diner appeared on Season 1 of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, so my brother was excited about that. I've eaten at two other DDD places, and they both were bleh. This experience turned that bleh into a yum! The food was so friggin good. Since my brother is a history teacher who loves DDD, this entire day was my birthday present to him. Happy Birthday, big brother!

Well said, and thanks for the great birthday gift! You get a pass for not knowing J Edgar Hoover and Herbert Hoover were not the same person nor related.

Monsoon fury leaves 113 dead, 100 missing in Maharashtra
Mumbai: The number of deaths due to flooding, landslides and other rain-related incidents in parts of Maharashtra reached 113 on Sunday with one more casualty reported in the last 24 hours, while 100 people were missing after the monsoon fury, the state government said.
So far, 50 people have also been injured in these incidents, the government said in a statement.
On Sunday, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray visited Chiplun, the site of severe flooding in Ratnagiri district of the Konkan region.
A group of locals stopped the CM's convoy and informed him about the problems they were facing following the rain havoc in the area.
The Chief Minister interacted with residents, businessmen and shopkeepers, and promised them all help from the state government to restore normalcy in the area.
Thackeray said they will require "central assistance for long-term mitigation measures", and added that he will tour western Maharashtra on Monday and a comprehensive data of the extent of damages will be prepared.
Union MSME Minister Narayan Rane visited Taliye village in Raigad, the site of a massive landslide on Thursday, and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked him to submit a report on the damage caused by the rains.
Rane said damaged houses would be rebuilt under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana after suggestions are taken from local residents.
Former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and Leader of Opposition in the state Legislative Council Pravin Darekar accompanied Rane.
Thackeray, while talking to reporters after a review meeting in Chiplun, said the economy was "sluggish" because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
"We will require central assistance for long-term mitigation measures. The central government has provided assistance by deploying rescue teams from defence forces," he said.
The chief minister said he will tour western Maharashtra on Monday and a comprehensive data of the extent of damages will be prepared.
"We will provide all assistance," he assured.
Thackeray said there will be no technical difficulty in providing assistance to the affected people.
Some residents of Chiplun, who had stopped Thackeray's convoy, later told reporters that they informed the chief minister that they need immediate relief, and not assurances.
"We have lost everything in the flood. For the last three days, no one came to conduct the punchnama (spot inspection). Now, with the water level receding, we are clearing the debris from our homes and shops. If the officials come later and find our area clean, will they give us compensation?" asked a woman who met the CM.
Meanwhile, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) said on Sunday that 89 bodies had been retrieved following landslides.
SN Pradhan, the Director General (DG) of the federal force, tweeted the latest data of its operations being undertaken in Raigad, Ratnagiri and Satara districts of the state.
Thirty-four people are still missing in these three districts, as per the data updated till 3:15 pm.
As per the data, NDRF rescuers have retrieved a total of 89 bodies from these areas, with the highest number of 47 being from the worst-hit Taliye village under Mahad tehsil of Raigad.
The force has deployed 34 teams for relief and rescue operations in the affected regions of Maharashtra.
The NDRF is operating in landslide-affected Taliye in Raigad, Porase and Pedhe in Ratnagiri, and Mirgaon, Ambeghar and Dhokawale in Satara district, the data showed.

Pop Up Bookshop – Ever Heard of One?
I'm about to rub shoulders with awesome authors from the Southeast – and it's for such a special cause!
Thirty-seven of us will sell and sign our books at a special Soroptomist / Southeast Authors Pop Up Shop in the Victoria Place Shopping Centre, Tunbridge Wells on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th November 2013.
Great writers will be displaying their books. Here's a taste of whom you might meet, and although the Soroptomists is an International organisation for women, we have some some famous men supporting us:
ANDREW CROFTS, internationally successful ghost-writer and author of over 80 books – a dozen of which have been No 1 on the Sunday Times best seller list. He is widely known for writing the stories of the victims of enforced marriages in North Africa and the Middle East, sex workers in the Far East, orphans in war-torn areas such as Croatia and Romania, victims of crimes and abuse everywhere. He has also worked with the criminal fraternity. His current book The Secrets of the Italian Gardener is set among dictators, arms dealers and billionaires who manipulate power and wealth from compounds across Africa, Asia, the Middle East and South America as well as tax havens from Geneva and Monaco to Bermuda and the Caribbean. Both commercially and self-published, Andrew is also author of best-selling books for writers such as Ghost-Writing and The Freelance Writer's Handbook. He lectures on writing at Kingston University.
CHRISTOPHER PRIEST is a multi-international-award winning novelist (including the James Tait Black Memorial prize, the Arthur C. Clarke Award, and the French 'Prix Utopia' for life-time achievement). His novel The Prestige was made into a film by Warner Brothers, going to No 1 box office in the USA and gaining two Academy Award nominations. His novel The Glamour will be filmed with director Gerald McMorrow. He has written drama for radio and television as well as articles for newspapers including the Times, Guardian and New Statesman. His latest novel The Adjacent was published this year.
MARGARET MOUNSDON is a multiple prize-winning novelist. Margaret has published 22 romance novels and many short stories in magazines in UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Norway and Sweden. She gets her ideas for stories by 'shameless eaves-dropping'. Competitions co-ordinator for the Society of Women Writers and Journalists, Margaret advises: "a successful writer is someone who gets knocked down ten times but gets up eleven".
ALISON BAVERSTOCK is a former publisher and now course leader of MA publishing at Kingston University, and winner of the Pandora Prize for services to publishing. Alison has written widely about publishing and writing – her Is There a Book in You? is an international best seller – and her work is widely translated. Her book on self-publishing The Naked Author was Southeast Authors title of the year 2011.
A full list of authors featured at the Pop Up Bookshop can be found on the Southeast Authors' website.

Employing the use of biochemical properties e.g. b-factor (describes the movement of atoms—low movement corresponds to likely binding sites deep within the protein), hydrophobicity (small molecules prefer hydrophobic protein pockets) and conservation information.
Running X-ray crystallography in the lab in order to experimentally determine the structure of a protein and then run 3DPocket to predict its binding sites.
Use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in order to experimentally determine binding sites of proteins and compare these results to the predicted binding sites by 3DPocket.
Test algorithm on a wider variety of proteins (both DNA-binding proteins and enzymes) from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) in order to ensure reliability.
Optimize the number of calculations done by 3DPocket by employing heuristics to reduce the number of combinations that need to be tested when calculating minimum distances from the Connolly surface to the convex hull.


Healthcare - Something Must Change!
US healthcare is the most expensive in the world, yet in many respects (e.g., average life expectancies) other countries achieve comparable or better results. Could less healthcare be better in some cases?
One big problem is that healthcare reimbursement rates are for the most part determined by government bureaucrats. The Medicare reimbursement schedule (developed over the past several decades) provides lucrative compensation for some medical procedures (such as x-rays, MRIs, & surgical procedures) and inadequate compensation for others (e.g., monitoring health and helping patients to stay well).
A second problem is that payment for healthcare services is typically billed to third parties (government agencies and/or insurance companies), with patients paying only a residual share. This dulls concerns about, or even awareness of the cost of medical tests, medical treatment, prescription drugs, etc.
Healthcare costs have risen faster than prices in general or economic output, and the senior population is growing rapidly. Government healthcare benefits (Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP, etc.) are straining government budgets as a result, and the fiscal pressures will increase dramatically in years to come.
Some experts say major savings in healthcare costs could be achieved by restructuring the system to redress the balance between treating illness and preserving wellness. The overarching change would be to restrict the fee for service model, which currently applies for almost all medical services, to areas (diagnosis, acute care for conditions without a clearly defined mode of treatment) where it properly applies. See The Innovator's Prescription, Christensen, Grossman and Hwang, McGraw-Hill (2008).
The required changes would be systemic, and as such beyond the capabilities of discrete sectors of the healthcare system (hospitals, doctors, etc.). Some entity or entities would have to drive the change on a system-wide basis; the most logical candidates are the government, progressive employers with a financial stake in keeping their employees healthy, or integrated healthcare providers like Kaiser Permanente.
Christensen et al. suggest that progressive employers should take the lead. Viewing the lifetime employment model as defunct, we consider the integrated healthcare provider to be a better bet. But in any case, given the negative effects that government involvement has had on the healthcare system thus far, we agree that government should not be granted even greater authority over the system.
Talk about "the triumph of hope over experience." Although healthcare costs might well be contained under government supervision as a matter of economic and fiscal necessity, the result would presumably be achieved – as it has been in other countries with government-run healthcare – by de facto rationing.
Although SAFE sees no "silver bullet" solution to the relentless growth of government healthcare outlays, the following steps could help. For comprehensive discussion, see In Search of Real Healthcare Reform (May 2009).
Scrap proposals to use the government's clout (and our money) to mandate near universal healthcare. The problem with healthcare that needs fixing is not the number of Americans without insurance per se, it is soaring costs that penalize everyone.
End the tax exemption for employer-provided healthcare benefits with the idea that private sector and government employees should make their own arrangements for healthcare services and insurance. In any case, those whose employers provide healthcare plans should not continue to receive this unjustifiable tax preference.
Encourage the use of catastrophic coverage insurance combined with Health Saving Accounts to cover outlays for routine healthcare services. As an exception to item 2, premiums for such plans should be payable out of pretax income or tax deductible, which would put all taxpayers on an even footing. Also, to break the state-by-state stranglehold on healthcare insurance (precisely what treatments should be covered, etc.), people should be permitted to purchase coverage from insurance companies located anywhere in the country.
Have the states take full responsibility for their Medicaid and SCHIP programs, with the federal government supporting the programs with block grants. Once established, the aggregate amount of federal grants would be indexed for inflation, but not allowed to continue growing in real economic terms.
Repeal the federal statute requiring hospital emergency rooms to admit all comers, which inflates hospital costs and has been much abused, while supporting other measures (such as walk-in clinics) to more efficiently respond to the medical needs of the poor and disadvantaged.
End traditional Medicare coverage for all seniors retiring after a given date, e.g., January 1, 2012, providing capped funding for private insurance coverage of future retirees.
Cap punitive damage awards for medical malpractice, which are driving up insurance premiums and inducing doctors to order every medical test known to man whether needed or not.
None of these ideas were reflected in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (GovCare), which in our view represented a big step in the wrong direction. Many Americans agreed, and over half of the states plus others organized legal challenges - but none of these challenges has been upheld. See, e.g., GovCare weathers another legal challenge, 6/29/15.
GovCare has been largely implemented at this point, and opponents will necessarily shift their focus from championing repeal to proposing changes that would arguably improve it. Much discussion of this subject can be expected in the run-up to the 2016 elections.


Leaked financial figures on Tuesday forced Hewlett-Packard, the world's biggest computer company, to pre-empt its quarterly earnings announcement and disclose better-than-expected second-quarter results.
HP stressed that the disclosure was accidental, and said it had acted swiftly to issue an update before the start of trading.
"This was the result of a plain old-fashioned human error," HP said.
Leaks of sensitive financial information in the run-up to a company's earnings report are unusual, and could add to concerns about HP's internal controls in the wake of its boardroom spying scandal last year.
HP said it "could not recall a similar error happening in recent memory", It had informed the US Securities and Exchange Commission of the error.
The company's stock price rose 2 per cent on Tuesday to $44.68 after it said it expected to take in $25.5bn in sales in the second quarter. That was $1bn more than its estimate.
HP now expects net earnings of 64-65 cents a share in the period, ahead of its original forecast of 57-58 cents a share. For the third quarter, HP said it expected earnings of 59 to 61 cents a share, on sales of $23.7bn-$23.9bn.
Mark Hurd, HP's chairman chief executive, has vowed to stop leaks of confidential company information.
Revelations that HP investigators posed as journalists and board members to gain access to their private telephone records led to the ouster of Patricia Dunn, HP's former chairman, and other company officials.
Shares in the company have more than doubled since Mr Hurd took over as CEO in 2005.
