Parents of two students injured in the April 5 bus crash that sent more than two dozen Charlton-Pollard students to area hospitals are accusing Beaumont ISD of negligence, in the second suit filed against the district related to the accident.
The suit, filed Friday in the Jefferson County District Clerk's Office, alleges that Kaiden Green and Miyah Doucet were two of the children hurt in the accident, which happened when a bus traveling on U.S. 69 from the Big Thicket veered into oncoming traffic and crashed on the side of the road, hitting another car from behind.
Attorney Taylor Miller wrote in the petition that the bus driver, Michelle Lewis, was negligent in "driving a vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property."
Jamie Earnest's and Derrick Doucet's other allegations include that the driver failed to control the bus's speed and failed to use the brakes correctly.
Miller wrote that the district, as Lewis's employer, is responsible for her actions. The plaintiffs are seeking between $200,000 and $1 million for past and future pain, mental anguish and physical impairment, according to the petition.
The suit is the second filed against the district in the crash, following one filed on July 5 by Ashley Portley on behalf of her daughter. Click here for details.

Q: jquery selector for child element What is the correct method for looping through the lowest level "li" elements?

I've tried this but the selector is not firing.
jQuery("#mainNav > ul > li > ul > li").each(function () {

});

A: #ID selectors are case sensitive, you need #mainnav (lower case n), like this:
jQuery("#mainnav > ul > li > ul > li").each(function () {

});

I'm typically an electronic producer, but now I'm involved in a collaboration with a classical composer. The final piece will be ~45 minutes long and will feature parts that are full-range and lean more towards electronics and other sections that will be mostly strings/choir. The overall piece has a lot of dynamics, some sections very quiet and delicate and others quite loud, with subs, etc. This is more dynamics than I'm used to mixing.
My question is this. Should I find my loudest moment in the music, set that to not clip, and just go from there? Or should I use a really smooth compressor/limiter to control the loud bits. The piece will be played in a concert hall (with good sound) and also be released on CD. Should I do a separate mix for CD? Basically I'm looking for advice and tips on how classical engineers mix stuff with lots of dynamics.
I try to keep classical dynamics pretty much intact, but I've also been known to "gently" tame the dynamics on occasion (perhaps using something less "invasive" like a parallel mult).
But in any case, do what serves the recording.
Just try your best to keep it as real as possible. There's no need to add any processing just for the sake of it. But if some sections need a bit of help then that's no problem either.
Listen to some classical CDs & get a feel of the 'sound'.
There's no real need (imo) to do a seperate mix for the concert & CD. If you mix it well in the 1st place it'll sound good in both mediums.
I would not put a compressor across the two track mix.
Much of what makes classical music enjoyable to listen to is the dynamic contrast that is part of the music. Strapping a compressor across the mix brings up the lower levels and squashes the upper levels if it is not done correctly.
I like your idea of setting the highest peaks to something like -1 dBFS and let the rest of the piece ride where it will.
I just did a recording of three Beethoven Piano sonatas and as you probably know they are very dynamic so I did what you are suggesting and the pianist was very pleased.
I have been a classical recording engineer for 38 years and a classical mastering engineer for 12. I try very hard NOT to mess with the dynamics if I can help it.
Lately even the classical musicians are worried about having their material sound good in cars and we have done some manual gain riding ( the least offensive way to go) to make the lowest material sound more full when listened to in a car. I still have not had to strap a compressor across the two track mix but who knows what the future will bring...your stuff sounds interesting and I will be interested to see what you do with it.
Best of luck and let us know what you finally decide to do.
I have seen classical mastering levels climbing the mountain considerably.
I have mastered a few classical cds and yes, try to keep dynamics as much as possible. very little limiting and a bit of reverb. Some subtrative Eq for weird bumps if room has anomalies and that is all.
Special care to fades and spacing.
Like anything it's up to the client, yet I'd default to no dynamic changes and just a sweet eq.
I try to keep the dynamics as true as possible, but that being said, we now live in an MP3/Rock music world. The number of people that complain about levels to me (not being high enough) is growing by the day. Heck, I cut a piano trio master at K14 once and had the client screaming for more. Usually, though, it is the folks complaining that their master is distorting in their car. When I ask questions, I find they turned it all the way up for the quiet sections and then the loud distorts. Go figure!
Anyways, it also sounds like your project is not a purist classical kind of thing from what you are describing. In that case, all bets are off. Trying to make the electronics work with the rest of the music may be difficult (depending on how the music is written and orchestrated).
I generally try to avoid use of anything more than a couple dB of limiting and normalization. If less dynamic contrast is needed, I'll usually manually adjust the soft sections louder. To do this, I usually will insert linear crossfades that are several seconds long and have them counteract the natural dynamics of the music. (ie, if the music is getting softer, I'll insert the fade there and then raise the soft section by a few dB, bringing it back down at the next major increase in dynamics). The manual manipulation of dynamics will be your most transparent by far.
I have done hundreds of classical CD's and what you need to do is let the dynamics ride. But, pending on how it was recorded - you could get too quiet for CD. You have two obligations here - one to the live audience, and one to the CD listener who will be in any environment.
- For the live application, just find your peak and let the true dynamics run. The house engineer will adjust if it needs gain. This is especially true if they are performing an electroacoustic piece.
- For the CD, evaluate if the pianissimo sections are just to quiet for any listening situation (excluding a car). If this is true, bring them up by incorpoating GENTLE gain changes with the music. This way the gain ride sounds natural. Sometimes, you may need to do a quick drop (less than a second) on peaks because high freq. information peaked +5 over the true peak (tympani is famous for this).
In the end, never add auto dynamic control. The only time is if your client wants it (talk them out of it), or it is going to a film house - but then they would want control of dynamics just as a mastering engineer wants mixes uncompressed.
I'll insert the fade there and then raise the soft section by a few dB, bringing it back down at the next major increase in dynamics). The manual manipulation of dynamics will be your most transparent by far.
Thank you all for your comments. The advice is great. I think I'll just find my loudest level, set to not clip, and then ride levels of quite bits if I need to. Thanks for not letting me compress!


Nigeria's president Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress and the presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, have arrived at the International Conference Center in Abuja for the second signing of the National Peace Accord.
General Abubakar, who is also the Chairman of the NPC, appealed to them to adopt a code of conduct that would promote a peaceful process devoid of rigging.
Abubakar told the candidates to use the remaining days left to speak directly to voters and supporters, pleading with them to avoid violence.
Nigeria, a nation with 84,004,084 registered voters, heads to poll on Saturday to elect it's president and federal lawmakers.
Abubakar explained that he was stressing this so that the nation would have no need to invite foreign observers in the future, as it is done in some countries.


Okay, so before all of my sweet babies, I actually used to dress pretty well. After all of my babies? Hit or miss. I never seem to know what's on trend, what's not, what fits right on my I've-had-a-few-babies body, and just the all around time to shop or coordinate an outfit.
But, in an effort to not wear John's old t-shirts all of the time, I'm going to try linking up with The Pleated Poppy What I Wore Wednesday on (hopefully) a regular basis! I felt super silly about it at first. But, then, I noticed I actually made a little more effort this week.
And, can we all laugh together at my terrible quality pictures?! I didn't realize that taking a selfie was so difficult. Then, I realized my phone's camera lens was smudged (little fingers perhaps?). And, that my Littles are always in my screenshot. Maybe I'll perfect the art of selfies in this challenge?

Vulcan hypercar may be next Aston Martin for Bond
It is going to be released in a limited amount of just 24 units
A new vehicle from Aston Martin has been dubbed the Vulcan hypercar and the $2.3 million dollar car could be heading for an appearance in the next James Bond movie. The hypercar is going to be released in a limited amount of just 24 units and it is one of the most technologically advanced cars with a U shaped steering wheel playing home to the controls.
The hypercar is for the track only and it was revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. If you want one of the 24 you will have to have deep pockets and be prepared to take a course so that you can learn how to drive the car.
The Vulcan is one of the most advanced cars Aston Martin produced and it would be the perfect vehicle to feature in the next James Bond movie, as of course Bond is well known for liking Aston Martins. It is all-carbon fiber and those who want to drive it will have to take a special course not only to learn how to drive the vehicle but also how to customize it to their own tastes.
The CEO of Aston Martin said that the Vulcan is a thrilling and rare supercar that has been designed to offer owners a driving experience that is bespoke and which draws on the rich heritage of Aston Martin. The vehicle can be tailored to the capabilities of the driver along with the tracks characteristics. It is a true sports car for lovers of sports cars and the Vulcan will set new standards in the ultra-high luxury supercar class.
What sets the vehicle apart is the U shaped steering wheel allowing the owner to perform the majority of functions. It can start the car, it has the pit lane limiter, indicators, high beams, traction control and ABS that is adjustable and controls the wipers. On the back of the wheel are the paddle shifters for swapping gears.
While the Vulcans specs are not quite final Aston Martin has said that the vehicle has a naturally aspirated 800 horse power V12 7 litre engine. This takes the supercar from standstill to 60mph in under 3 seconds and takes it to a top speed of more than 200mph. The 800 plus brake horse power engine was developed along with Aston Martin Racing and the power to weight ratio is more than the GTE vehicles seen in competition in the World Endurance Championship of FIA.
The body is constructed of carbon fiber monocoque by Multimatic, who has a long term partnership with Aston Martin. It has integral limited slip differential along with Brembo racing calipers and carbon ceramic racing discs for the brakes measuring 380mm diameter on the front wheels and 360mm on the back. It also features a magnesium torque tube with carbon fiber propeller shaft. The drive has been channeled to the wheels on the back, which are 345/30 x 19 with race specification tires from Michelin through a rear mid-mounted race-bred Xtac 6 speed sequential shift gears.
Other specifications of the hypercar include the track derived push-rod suspension complete with anti-dive geometry and the dynamic suspension spool valve from Multimatic. It also features anti-roll bars at the back and front along with variable traction control and anti-lock brakes that can be adjusted by the driver. The vehicle is going to comply with the FIA race safety requirements.
Before owners take delivery of their Vulcan hypercar they will be offered the chance to participate in intensive track driver training. The training involves the use of many high performance vehicles from Aston Martin, including the V12 Vantage S and Vantage GT4 race cars. Owners will build up their experience and then finally take the wheel of their own Aston Martin Vulcan.

Contractile injection systems (CISs) are cell-puncturing nanodevices that share ancestry with contractile tail bacteriophages. Photorhabdus virulence cassette (PVC) represents one group of extracellular CISs that are present in both bacteria and archaea. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of an intact PVC from P. asymbiotica. This over 10-MDa device resembles a simplified T4 phage tail, containing a hexagonal baseplate complex with six fibers and a capped 117-nanometer sheath-tube trunk. One distinct feature of the PVC is the presence of three variants for both tube and sheath proteins, indicating a functional specialization of them during evolution. The terminal hexameric cap docks onto the topmost layer of the inner tube and locks the outer sheath in pre-contraction state with six stretching arms. Our results on the PVC provide a framework for understanding the general mechanism of widespread CISs and pave the way for using them as delivery tools in biological or therapeutic applications.

Q: Find a function $g$ such that $\int_0^{x^2}tg(t)dt = x + x^2$ This problem $5b$ from Chapter $14$ of Spivak's Calculus:

Find a function $g$ such that $\int_0^{x^2}tg(t)dt = x + x^2$ (Note $g$ is not assumed to be continuous at $0$).

I think this question is impossible? First of all there's no restrictions on $x$, so letting $x = 1$ and $x = -1$, we get $0 = 2$.
So maybe we have to restrict to $x \geq 0$? In that case, we can take the square root:
Find $g$ such that $\forall x \geq 0 : \int_0^{x}tg(t)dt = x + \sqrt{x}$
Let $f(t) = tg(t)$, so we need $\int_0^{x}f(t)dt = x + \sqrt{x}$
Now $\frac{d}{dx} (x + \sqrt{x}) = 1 + \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$. But $f(t) = 1 + \frac{1}{2\sqrt{t}}$ won't work because $1 + \frac{1}{2\sqrt{t}}$ isn't bounded as $t \rightarrow 0$, so the integral won't be defined.
Am I missing something?

A: The function $$g(x) = \frac{1 + 2\sqrt x}{2(\sqrt x)^3}$$ seems to satisfy the condition. Below is how to find it:
Let $G(x) = \int xg(x)dx$. Then, we have
$$\int_0^{x^2}tg(t)dt \overset{\text{(FTC)}}= G(x^2) - G(0) \overset{*}= x + x^2
 $$
Now, differentiate both sides of $(*)$ to get
$$\begin{align} 2x[x^2g(x^2)] &= 1 + 2x \\[1mm] 2x^3g(x^2) &= 1+ 2x \\ g(x^2) &= \frac{1+2x}{2x^3}.\end{align}$$ Therefore, we get $$g(x) = \frac{1 + 2\sqrt x}{2(\sqrt x)^3} $$

Indeed,
$$\int_0^{x^2} t \frac{1 + 2\sqrt t}{2(\sqrt t)^3} dt = \int_0^{x^2}\left( 1 + \frac{1}{2\sqrt t}\right)dt = \left[\sqrt t + t\right]_0^{x^2} = x + x^2$$ as desired.

A: If we let:
$$F(x)=\int tg(t)dt$$
then we have:
$$F(x^2)-F(0)=x+x^2$$
now try differentiating both sides:
$$2xF'(x^2)=1+2x$$
but we know that $F'(x)=xg(x)$ and so:
$$2x\left[x^2g(x^2)\right]=1+2x$$
$$2x^3g(x^2)=1+2x$$
$$g(x^2)=\frac{1}{2x^3}+\frac{1}{x^2}$$
now find $g(x)$

Kingston Law School student puts the case for adjustment
Posted Thursday 22 August 2013
Kingston University law student Karline Zuravlova has some simple advice for the latest crop of A-level results recipients - if you had a pleasant surprise when you got your grades, make sure you think carefully about the next step in your academic career.
With a godfather and aunt who are both lawyers, Latvian-born Karline caught the bug for the profession at an early age. Although initially contemplating the offer of a place at another university, the 20 year old realised as soon as she ripped open her results envelope last year and saw she had achieved two As and a B that her options had dramatically improved.
"My initial university choice was in the east of England but I'd always dreamt of studying in London," she said. "With the Old Bailey, Court of Appeal and many barristers' chambers based in the capital, it really is the seat of the British legal profession." Karline quickly decided to see if she could use the adjustment process to find a better course that was also closer to the epicentre of the English legal establishment.
Her marks gave Karline the opportunity to apply for adjustment - a service offered during the Clearing period when people are looking to snap up one of the last remaining university places available. It allows students whose grades are better than anticipated to trade up to a more competitive course at a different university rather than remaining tied to their original choice.
"I had done my research beforehand and I knew Kingston would be the ideal place to study law so I got straight on the phone to their Clearing hotline immediately," Karline explained. After speaking to a helpful operator who put her through to one of the course tutors, she was offered a spot on the Kingston LLB International Law degree and has now just completed her first year.
Kingston was definitely providing her with a solid grounding for a future legal career, Karline said. "We are offered a great mix of theory and practice," she explained. "I've been able to take part in mock courtroom debates, for example, which have been ideal training for me as I'm leaning towards becoming a barrister."
Karline's course has now covered several topics including land, public and contract law and she will shortly move on to the subject she finds most fascinating - criminal law. She has also thrown herself into wider university life joining the tennis society and sports club as well as getting in some extra debating experience in the law society. "I can't wait to begin my second year and I'm so happy I was able to come to Kingston Law School," Karline said. "Adjustment worked for me and picking up that phone really was the best decision I ever made."

Before you know it, we'll all be in San Francisco for this year's RSA Conference. For those of you that are still making your travel plans and trying to sort out your schedule, we'd like to highlight a few changes to this year's event.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the RSA Conference, and the event will be bigger and better than ever before. We've taken your feedback from past events into account and hope you find this year's conference even more enriching—and entertaining! After all, Sheryl Crow will be playing at this year's Codebreakers Bash.
One change we'd like to make sure you notice is the change in conference passes. In addition to the Full Conference Pass, which gives you access to everything RSA Conference has to offer, and the Expo Pass, which can get you on the show floor, we've created a Discover Pass.
"Each year, we want to make sure we're evolving to meet the needs of our attendees. After reviewing our different registration pass types, and the offerings in each, we decided to re-vamp our Expo Plus pass to the Discover pass, creating more valuable opportunities and experiences for the pass holders," says Linda Gray, RSA Conference's general manager.
What does the Discover Pass get you? In addition to admittance to Keynotes Tuesday through Friday, you'll be able to attend select sessions, events like the Innovation Sandbox contest and the Codebreakers Bash.
You can compare passes here.
This year we've also expanded the Learning Labs and are offering Focus-On Sessions, which bring back popular speakers and topics for smaller group discussions.
We hope to see you in San Francisco! And if you're attending for the first time, we'll be hosting a webcast on February 16, 2016, to help you get the most out of your RSA Conference experience: Know Before You Go - Your RSAC 2016 Attack Plan.

The Wolfpack Hustle annual Shortline Crit was held in Downtown Long Beach on May 3rd. The fixed-gear Men and Women's race, presented by BICYCLIST sponsor and bicycle attorney Thomas Forsyth, is the second of three stages in the 2016 Unified Title Series. Elm Street, Broadway, Atlantic, and 1st Street bounded the rectangular course with aggressive turns that inevitably led to multiple crashes in the dim streets.
Spectators enjoyed the view from a pedestrian bridge crossing over the back side of the loop. Riders endured cracked pavement, bright lights, and dim straightaways as they circumnavigated the course for an hour, pausing multiple times to clear the way after cringe-inducing tumbles. Truly, a sport for the fearless, the finishers are as bold as they are strong.
Friend of the magazine and Bicycle Attorney, Thomas Forsyth sponsored another year of Wolfpack Hustle racing.


Tying in with their recent security project and long-term IT strategy, Bletchley Park were using Google Mail, and became conscious of protecting all their data in Google Mail and making sure it was fully backed-up. They required a lasting back-up solution that would ensure protection, restoration, and compliance for their data.
After an assessment from the T-Tech technical consultancy team, they concluded that Bletchley Park required a cloud to cloud Gsuite and Gmail backup solution. This solution needed to be ISO27001 compliant and price point effective.
Using Gartner Visionary, which offers research of competitor solutions, T-Tech chose Backupify as their partner, which would provide item level backups with unlimited storage, and that could do multiple daily backups. This SaaS back-up ensured that T-Tech could recover data if they needed to, with little to no impact to Bletchley Park.
The integration ran smoothly, with no effect to the daily running of systems at Bletchley Park.
Considering the solution had no immediate effect on Bletchley Park, they were very pleased with how the integration went, as it was deployed on time and within budget. Hopefully Bletchley Park will not need to use Backupify for remediation or restoration purposes, but from the proof of concept and implementation testing, the solution runs multiple daily back-ups, giving them unlimited storage and retention.


I have not covered Anheuser-Busch stock nearly as frequently as some of the other companies that have the top slots in a consumer market segment. My hesitation for covering the stock has been a product of the Belgium headquarters which require heavy dividend taxation regardless of whether you make the investment in a regular brokerage account or a tax shelter, and the company's staggering debt load. They have $51 billion in debt.
Last August, I argued that Anheuser-Busch would be unlikely candidate for significant earnings growth and dividend growth for the medium term, as I publicly disagreed with analysts calling for 9% annual growth. I made that prediction because I saw revenues stagnate, and I knew that retained earnings would be needed to bring the debt down to more manageable.
The 3G team did not grow the brand, but they managed to only lose a point or two of market share while drastically reducing costs. That is how shareholders earned their returns.
But there are limits to the 3G way. At no point has the 3G team ever shown the capacity to build a brand the old-fashioned way by increasing affinity, gaining market share, and achieving organic growth. When costs can no longer be cut, this leads to stagnation.
And it shows up in the numbers. Anheuser Busch made $5.54 in profits last year, will make $5.65 this year, and is on pace to make $5.75 next year. That is a company keeping pace with inflation; it is not the hallmark of a company building wealth for shareholders.
This earnings stagnation means that the 3G needs to repeat what it did at Burger King (add Tim Horton's) and Heinz (add Kraft) because the team possesses the skill set to combine franchises and cut costs. That is their game.
That is why Anheuser Busch is trying to become a monolith $275 billion company by merging with SABMiller. It will give Anheuser Busch the opportunity to create value the only way it knows how–by getting rid of people and drastically lowering the costs. I imagine that Anheuser Busch will give SABMiller very attractive offer, as it needs the transaction to go through. There is no other way, consistent with 3G's current skillset, to raise earnings per share by a very high amount over the next five years without doing this deal.
The political angle that makes life interesting is that tobacco producer Altria owns a 27% economic and voting interest in SABMiller stock. This is relevant because it means that Altria likely doesn't want a huge tax burden from a cash buyout. It has a sweet gig right now taking SABMiller dividends, paying no taxes on them to the British government, and using that cash to augment operations and pass on to shareholders as beer prices rise and volumes grow modestly.
But a SABMiller takeover could result in a huge capital gains tax bill if it is a cash buyout, and it would also make Altria susceptible to Belgium taxes in addition to American taxes on every theoretical AnheuserBuschInbevSABMiller dividend that it collects. I'm not sure Altria is ready to make peace with that.
The manifestation of Altria's 27% interest in SABMiller is that three of the Board of Directors seats come from Altria. My expectation is that they will push for a corporate inversion that switches Anheuser-Busch's headquarters from Leuven, Belgium to London, United Kingdom. If that happens, Altria could maintain the status quo of collecting beer dividends without paying an additional tax due to the U.S.-U.K. Tax Treaty. It would also reopen Anheuser Busch as a potential investment to American shareholders that were put off by the requirement of Belgium taxation and American taxation on each dividend payment. We will see whether the 3G commitment to cost-cutting includes uprooting their own lives.
The funding of this deal, if it goes through, will also be noteworthy. Anheuser-Busch only has $8 billion in cash, which may sound like a lot, but is locked up in countries throughout the world for liquidity purposes and is still less than the $10 billion that the company uses keeps on hand for operating purposes. I'm not sure the cash would be used to make this deal.
And there is also already $50 billion in debt on the balance sheets. Anheuser-Busch has already secured clearance to borrow $50 billion in debt from banks to fund this takeover, and it would also need to come up with about $30 billion in share dilution to satisfy the likely premium required to executive this deal. Plus, there is the $20 billion in debt that SABMiller carries on its balance sheet that will be transferred to Anheuser Busch's balance sheet.
This means we are talking: $30 billion in share dilution, plus $70 billion in additional debt ($50 billion taken on to complete the acquisition, and $20 billion required from SABMiller's current debt obligations). Combine this with the $50 billion in debt currently on the balance sheet, and you will be looking at a company carrying $120 billion in total debt while diluting existing shareholders 17.5%.
What does Anheuser Busch get in return? An additional $3.5 billion in current profits from SABMiller alone. Right now, Anheuser-Busch makes $9 billion per year in profits. It would emerge as a company making $12.5 billion annually in profits against $120 billion in debt. The expected share dilution would increase the share count from 1.5 billion to 1.76 billion. That means earnings per share would increase from $5.65 this year to $7.10 per share before the cost cuts start to take effect.
The reason Warren Buffett partners with 3G is because of what the company does during the first five years of cost cutting. It grew profits from $2.50 in 2010 to $5.54 in 2014 (that is actually a five-year period because I am measuring from the start of 2010 until the end of 2014.) The magic stopped after that, but the 2010-2014 period of rapid earnings growth from a stodgy high-quality industry is why Warren Buffett enjoys working with these guys.
That is 121% profit growth in five years. That is why Berkshire owns a quarter of Kraft-Heinz. Anheuser Busch would likely try to replicate with SABMiller the same process that occurred when Inbev merged with Anheuser Busch. If that happened, the $7.10 per share in profits realized by the combined megabrewery in 2016 would grow to $15.69 per share in 2020.
There are still too many moving parts to perform a concrete analysis. To be clear, all of these estimates are my extrapolations based on the current credit facilities available to Anheuser Busch Inbev. If the amount changes, or the company does not max out the proverbial credit card, or the final offer is much higher or lower than the premium I estimated, then the future projections will change substantially. You should understand this is a preliminary analysis, with my using the known numbers to take guesses at the incomplete figures.
I'm curious to see the political angle of how Altria fits into this, and whether a significant amount of stock will be issued to fund the transaction and whether headquarter relocation will be up for grabs. I'm also curious to see whether Anheuser-Busch will become the first company in the world to owe $100 billion in balance sheet debt.
This potential represents two competing forces. You have 3G's inability to grow earnings after implementing significant cost cuts against the backdrop of receiving a new slab of marble to chisel all over again. It is also likely true that people will make more money buying now compared to those waiting for the dust to settle.
The problem is that everyone takes this approach, and the increased certainty always translates into higher valuations absent general economic deteriorations around the globe.
The caveat is that this is not Benjamin Graham's idea of a conservatively financed balance sheet. Why buy Anheuser-Busch with $100+ billion in debt when you can just buy Berkshire that is about to immediately accrete 10% in earnings from the Precision Castparts acquisition and still have +$25 billion in cash on hand that is being replenished at a rate of $2 billion per month? The answer to my hypothetical is that 3G delivers more earnings growth during the first five years of drastic cost cutting compared to what you'd get from a mature Berkshire. I can tell you where each path leads, but I can't definitively say which one is the best for you to take.


Positive, inspiring and filled with giving. This is what the world needs today. Thank-you Juliet for your words.
Way to go Juliet : ) Very, very inspiring, you were always so positive and caring. Best wishes to you always, Heather.


Planned Parenthood And High Deductible Insurance - Could The Combo Be The Answer?
As a former heavy girl, I work hard to keep the svelte figure I acquired 22 years ago. Exercise is integral to this effort, especially as perimenopause looms. I turn to podcasts during my prolonged exercise regimen, and discovered an incredible resource – "Conversations on Health Care" from Wesleyan University and Community Health Center, Inc. Each week, they feature a notable in the health care arena discussing health reform and innovations in health care delivery. It is a fun listen that boosts my optimism. I am busy catching up with the last year of podcasts they have provided, and usually listen to two or three during a workout. This week, I listened to two in a row that, when combined, gave me a bright idea. (Source: Forbes.com Healthcare News) read more..

It's the last day of the festival. We're getting a bit giddy after so much fun and fire. Today we're here a bit earlier in the day. Helping get everyone parked needs bodies too.
Rangers on the left, traffic control volunteers in the middle, ESD at right. Another event well in hand.
There's quite the line waiting for the gate to open. I think that's a first for us. People have heard good things.
Steven Raspa, a long-time fellow burner. Seeing Steven makes everything else go more smoothly; he's a great planner and even better executor.
Don't ask. I can't remember.
The fire arch going strong, exciting the crowds.
Our front-gate crew. Fun cooperation, great conversations, nice interactions with the visitors, and absolutely nothing for law enforcement or the fire department to do.
As the clocks ticks away the minutes until we close the gates the fire cannon goes off one last time.
Now it's time to get ready to leave for the playa in a few months time. Yea!


The Ferry Building Marketplace in San Francisco is filled with a number of shops, restaurants and cafes. The farmers market is one of the top markets to visit throughout the country and can be a very pleasant experience especially on Saturday's. It's a fun way to browse through a wide variety of foods and dine among a live crowd in a beautiful setting in the city. I definitely recommend anyone visiting to check it out, more-so if you're a big foodie like myself.
i've been eyeing the whole maxi skirt look and found a sheer dress at my favorite LF Stores on union street. The girls who work here are so helpful and amazing and I always find the best stuff. Go here for anything fashion forward and I guarantee you'll come out a satisfied customer!


"I can't even recall offhand another character who so totally and completely sucked me into their life story, that even at 2:00 am, I refused to put the book down."
Nicole invited me over to her blog today to dish more about CAPTIVE SPIRIT, the whole crazy writing process, "The Call," and a few other writerly things. We're also giving away a free digital copy of my book to one randomly selected person who's brave enough to leave a comment and/or ask a question and I hope that someone is you! You can read Nicole's full review over at The Book Pusher, another great book review blog that I hope you check out.
P.S. I'll be guest-blogging later in the week with a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author! Yeah, little ole' me! Stop by later in the week for more details and links. But let's just say that I fell in love with this particular author after I learned that she and I shared the same warped idea about rewriting GONE WITH THE WIND as a zombie novel. Long story. But stay tuned!
Liz, that's fanTABULOUS! :) Wow! I hope you're celebrating!

Q: How to run a script after Pyramid's transaction manager has returned How can I run myscript.py after the transaction manager has returned. Additionally, I would prefer if the script was not blocking.
In my view, I am receiving a file from a POST. Since I'm creating the file with repoze.filesafe's create_file(), it keeps the file in a temporary location until the transaction manager returns. The file only exists on the harddisk in its correct path after transaction manager has returned without an error.
Therefore, I need to run my script after the transaction manager has returned.

A: You can register a hook to be run after commit via the transaction package. Register one in your view:
import transaction

def your_after_commit(success, arg1, arg2, kwarg1=None, kwarg2=None):
    if success:
        print "Transaction commit succeeded"
    else:
        print "Transaction commit failed"

def someview(request):
    current_transaction = transaction.get()
    current_transaction.addAfterCommitHook(your_after_commit, args=(1, 2), kws={kwarg1='foo', kwargs2='bar'})

This still runs your script in the context of the current request (e.g. the request does not complete until your script returns). If you need a full asynchronous setup, you'll need to move to a proper asynchronous solution such as Celery. You would not use that with a transaction hook; just register a task to be run with Celery instead.

Alan Leslie Freeman, MBE (6 July 1927 – 27 November 2006), nicknamed "Fluff", was an Australian-born British disc jockey and radio personality in the United Kingdom for 40 years, best known for presenting Pick of the Pops from 1961 to 2000.

Early life
Born and educated in Melbourne, Australia, Freeman worked as an assistant paymaster/accountant for one of Australia's largest timber companies after leaving school. He wanted to be an opera singer, but decided his voice was not strong enough.

Career

Radio and television
Freeman was invited to audition as a radio announcer in 1952, and began work for 7LA in Tasmania, known as the teenager's station. Freeman's duties included continuity announcer, presenter of musical programmes incorporating opera, ballet and classical music, DJ for the top 100, news reader, quiz master and commercials reader.

After moving to radio station 3KZ in Melbourne, he took a nine-month trip around the world in 1957, with the promise to return to Melbourne by January 1958. He arrived in London, and on deciding to stay wrote numerous letters of delay, and later apology, to his former employer.

Freeman began his British career as a summer relief disc jockey on Radio Luxembourg and continued to present late evening programmes on the station until the early 1970s. He gained his nickname "Fluff" as a result of a fluffy jumper that he was fond of wearing.

In 1960 he moved to the BBC Light Programme as presenter of the Records Around Five show, introduced by his signature tune, "At the Sign of the Swingin' Cymbal", written by Brian Fahey. A more upbeat version performed by Brass Incorporated was introduced in April 1970. In September 1961, he introduced Pick of the Pops as part of Saturday evening show Trad Tavern. Pick of the Pops became a permanent show in its own right; Freeman presented it until 24 September 1972, continuing with his 'Swingin' Cymbal' signature tune.

During this time he was one of the original team of presenters of BBC TV's Top of the Pops, a regular member of the Juke Box Jury panel, and had a brief stint as compère of the lunchtime pop music show Go Man Go on the Light Programme in 1963. In 1961 and 1962, he presented the British version of the hit American quiz Play Your Hunch on BBC TV. He presented a music magazine-style television show for the BBC in 1968, All Systems Freeman, which aired for several weeks on Friday evening, but despite good reviews did not return for a second series.

Freeman recorded a dance single, "Madison Time", with the Talmy Stone Band in 1962. Released by Decca Records, F11523, it was reportedly one of the label's worst-ever sellers.

In April 1972, he joined the daily presenters on Radio 1, taking over the 3–5 pm show from Terry Wogan. Freeman used "Soul Bossa Nova" by Quincy Jones as his theme until 1 June 1973. During this time he spotlighted youth clubs and young people, and became Vice-President of the London Association of Youth Clubs. During the 1970s he also presented the Radio 1 series Quiz Kid on Sunday evenings, recorded at youth clubs and boys' clubs all over the country, while on Saturday afternoons he presented a programme simply titled Alan Freeman, although retrospectively it is mainly referred to as The Rock Show. It featured an eclectic mix of music, although it is mainly remembered for pioneering heavy and progressive rock. It also featured a rundown of the current album chart. The show ran from 30 June 1973 to 26 August 1978.

He presented the original version of The Story of Pop as a 26-part Radio 1 series in 1973–74. From 1975 to 1977, Freeman presented the Radio 2 musical game show Free Spin. In addition he lent his name to several rock and classical compilation albums, the best-known being By Invitation Only (1976), a collection of material sourced from artists on the Atlantic label.

Freeman left the BBC to work for Capital Radio from 1979 to 1989, presenting the Top 40 of the 1970s on 31 December 1979 under the revived Pick of the Pops name. He again revived Pick of the Pops from 13 March 1982 (now called Pick of the Pops Take Two, combining the current NME Top 15 with an earlier chart) and The Rock Show previous to that on 7 January 1980. He returned to the BBC and Radio 1 in January 1989 to revive The Rock Show and Pick of the Pops. This run of Pick of the Pops ended on 27 December 1992 but he continued to host The Rock Show until 23 October 1993, when he, with other long-serving DJs, left the station as it was revamped by controller Matthew Bannister.

He was the subject of This Is Your Life in 1987 when he was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at Thames Television's Teddington Studios.  In 1990, he appeared as a celebrity guest on the television series You Bet!, made by London Weekend Television and hosted by Sir Bruce Forsyth.

In December 1993, for four weeks he presented the Alternative Chart Show Top 30 as part of a trial one-off Restricted Service Licence (RSL) broadcast by XFM in London. Throughout 1994 he presented a revised and expanded version of the Radio 1 series The Story of Pop, broadcast in 52 hour-long episodes. He then hosted Pick of the Pops Take Three on Capital Gold from April 1994 until January 1997. In 1996 and 1997 he also hosted The Friday Rock Show on Virgin Radio, and he hosted a number of one-off shows on Classic FM from December 1993 to December 1996.

In 1998 he was awarded the MBE for services to broadcasting.

He returned to the BBC on Radio 2, taking Pick of the Pops back to its home, from 1997 until 2000. A lifetime love of classical music and particularly opera was developed in the show Their Greatest Bits, which resulted in another compilation CD on the BBC label. Throughout his career, he was known especially for his jingles, which integrated short bursts of classical music and hard rock segued together, as well as his catchphrases, which included "Hi there, pop pickers!" at the start of Pick of the Pops; "Greetings, music lovers!" when introducing his classical and rock shows; "All right? Right, stay bright!" when signing off, and "Not 'arf!" frequently uttered during his shows.

In April 2000, after arthritis in his hands had started to make it too difficult for him to operate studio equipment, he handed Pick of the Pops over to Dale Winton.

Acting
Freeman acted in the horror film Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965) and the rock musical Absolute Beginners (1986), and played himself or a similar character in films such as It's Trad, Dad! (1962), Just for Fun (1963) and Sebastian (1968). He also played God (albeit a God who sat at a mixing desk and said "Alright?") in two episodes of The Young Ones in 1984. Freeman also appeared in TV advertisements for Brentford Nylons and for Omo "with exclusive WM7 for perfect whiteness."

He appeared in Noël Coward's Private Lives at the Adeline Genee Theatre in East Grinstead in June 1968, starring alongside Shirley Anne Field, Sally Anne Howe and Conrad Phillips.

Recognition
Freeman's style has been parodied, and he was the model for comedian Harry Enfield's character Dave Nice, although he contributed to the satire himself in good grace by appearing on Enfield's show. (Enfield praised Freeman in Simon Garfield's book on Radio 1, The Nation's Favourite, by categorising him along with John Peel as "DJs who loved music" as opposed to "DJs who loved the sound of their own voices, like Dave Lee Travis").

For all Freeman's supposed clichés and archetypes in his broadcasting style, he has been regarded as original by fellow broadcasters. When he appeared on John Peel's This Is Your Life, Peel said: "Fluff is the greatest out-and-out disc jockey of them all".

After Freeman's death Robin Gibb wrote a tribute, "Alan Freeman Days". Recorded in August 2007, the song was included on Gibb's first posthumous album 50 St. Catherine's Drive in 2014.

Black Sabbath dedicated the instrumental track "Fluff" on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (composed by Tony Iommi) to Freeman, since he was one of the few radio personalities in Great Britain to play the group's music on-air.

Honours
He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1998. In May 2000, he was presented with a Lifetime Achievement award at the Sony Radio Academy Awards. He was initiated into the Grand Order of Water Rats in 1976, and ten years later was elected "King Rat". He also served as Vice-President of the London Union of Youth Clubs.

Personal life
In March 1994, Freeman revealed on breakfast television that he had become celibate in 1981, but had previously been bisexual. He was described by Graham Chapman as being "keen on motor bikes and leather and men".

From the early 1990s, Freeman suffered from arthritis and asthma (from a 60-a-day smoking habit) and used a Zimmer frame. He lived at Brinsworth House, a retirement home for actors and performers run by the Entertainment Artistes' Benevolent Fund in Twickenham, from 2000 until his death.

Death
He died on 27 November 2006 in Brinsworth House, aged 79, after a short illness. His funeral took place at South West Middlesex Crematorium on 7 December 2006, and was attended by singer Kenny Lynch, his producer Phil Swern and DJs including Dave Lee Travis, Ed Stewart, Dave Cash, Paul McKenna, Nicky Campbell, Paul Gambaccini and his Radio One Top 40 successors Wes Butters, Simon Bates and Richard Skinner.

The Economics of Broadband in Ireland: Country Endowments, Telecommunications Capital Stock, and Household Adoption Decisions
2013_McDonnell_Thomas_phd.pdf (1.847Mb)
McDonnell, Thomas Aidan
This item's downloads: 6355 (view details)
Economic growth is central to improved living standards, in turn; technological change and the spread of economically useful knowledge are essential inputs for sustainable growth. Broadband matters for long-run growth because it reduces the cost of knowledge search and increases the rate of knowledge production. Ireland lags the OECD across a range of broadband indicators including, penetration; availability; price; and speed. What explains these disappointing broadband outcomes and why is Ireland different? Are the differences rooted in policy, or are there specific geographic and demographic reasons? Is privatisation to blame, or do the causes predate privatisation? Do consumer characteristics (income, education, preferences) explain Ireland's outcomes, or are the differences driven more by investment and supply-side constraints? The different answers to these questions will have distinct implications for policy. To investigate these questions I adopt a methodologically pluralistic approach conducting three empirical studies with different data sets and methodologies. The first study uses international data and OLS regression techniques to examine the various effects of a set of country endowments. These are each expected to provide differential advantages to countries, to be unrelated to policy, and to help explain international variation in broadband subscription. The derived model explains over 85 per cent of international variation. The results suggest broadband penetration is positively influenced by population density, the diffusion of vintage technologies, and the population's educational attainment. Using the model estimates I construct an international league table of broadband efficiency and confirm Ireland is indeed underperforming compared to the OECD. The second study uses the Perpetual Inventory Method and data from government agencies to investigate the development of Ireland's pre broadband telecommunications infrastructure and the year-on-year growth in the telephone capital stock. The telephone capital stock is the infrastructure enabling the majority of fixed-line broadband connections in Ireland. I find investment was stop-start in the twentieth century. There is little evidence telecommunications infrastructure was a consistent priority of government. The third study uses sample data from the 2006 Census of Population to estimate a logit model of household broadband adoption decisions in Ireland. The derived estimates show that odds of broadband adoption are influenced by variables related to wealth and variables related to location. The results suggest geographic differences in broadband adoption are driven more by differences in availability, than by differences in consumer preference and awareness. Overall I find little evidence that the personal characteristics of Irish consumers are responsible for Ireland's poor broadband outcomes. Ireland's underperformance is best understood as a function of weak competition and low levels of investment, especially in low density areas where the commercial case for network infrastructure provision is particularly unattractive.

Q: How to test an AMD athlon 64 X2 processor? Accidentally connected AM2+ processor in AM2 socket I have a motherboard with an AM2 socket. Recently I bought a new processor from Amazon which is AM2+. The new processor seemed to fit into the socket so I plugged it in but I wouldn't boot. Then I did some research and found out that I got the wrong processor. How do I know if the processor was damaged?

A: The wiki article on AM2+ suggests that the socket is designed for interoperation with AM2 processors.  While your AM2+ CPU would likely not function in an AM2 mobo, it seems highly unlikely that you could have damaged the CPU.

Socket AM2+ is a CPU socket, which is the immediate successor to Socket AM2 that is used by several AMD processors such as Athlon 64 X2. Socket AM2+ is a mid-migration from Socket AM2 to Socket AM3 and both AM2+ and AM2 socket CPUs and motherboards have the potential to operate together. Actual interoperability depends upon other factors, especially the availability of compatible BIOS software, and some PC retailers, such as Dell, have not provided compatible BIOS versions that allow use of socket AM2+ CPUs on their products utilizing socket AM2 motherboards, such as the Inspiron 531.

(emphasis added)

A: I haven't dealt with this stuff in a loooooong time, but for well over a decade, if a CPU fit into a socket without a hammer, it would not be damaged at power-on (even if it wasn't compatible). Socket 939 and Socket 940 were essentially the same, but one was for server-grade CPUs and one was for consumer-grade CPUs. They were almost pin-compatible, but not quite -- hence the very slightly different socket.
There might have been a couple of exceptions to this, but by-and-large it was the case.
So, if that holds true today (big if, granted), your CPU should be fine.
Sorry I can't be of more assistance with this.
