BMW's EfficientDynamics Vision concept car combines the best of all worlds with incredible fuel efficiency, breaktaking performance, and sensational looks.
It's powered by a three-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, lithium polymer batteries, and electric motors front and rear. The first 31 miles each day are on battery power. The BMW Vision gets a U.S. unveiling next week at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Dec. 4-13.
The only bad news: The BMW Vision is more vision than production-ready concept car. What you'd most likely see on sale would be the key components such as the drivetrain and battery technology transplanted to a more mainstream body.

Q: URL - Get last part in PHP I have my url:
http://domain/fotografo/admin/gallery_bg.php

and i want last part of the url:
 gallery_bg.php

but, I do not want to link static, ie, for each page that vistitar I want to get the last part of the url

A:  $url = "http://domain/fotografo/admin/gallery_bg.php";
 $keys = parse_url($url); // parse the url
 $path = explode("/", $keys['path']); // splitting the path
 $last = end($path); // get the value of the last element

A: you can use basename($url) function as suggested above. This returns the file name from the url. You can also provide the file extension as second argument to this function like basename($url, '.jpg'), then the filename without the extension will be served.
Eg:

$url = "https://i0.com/images/test.jpg"

then echo basename($url) will print test.jpg

and echo basename($url,".jpg") will print test

A: use following
<?php
    $link = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
    $link_array = explode('/',$link);
    echo $page = end($link_array);
?>

A: Use basename function
echo basename("http://domain/fotografo/admin/gallery_bg.php");

A: If it is same page:
echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];

or

echo $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];

or

echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];

In each case a back slash(/gallery_bg.php) will appear. You can trim it as
echo trim($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],"/");

or split the url by / to make an array and get the last item from array
$array = explode("/",$url);

$last_item_index = count($url) - 1;

echo $array[$last_item_index];

or
echo basename($url);

A: $url  = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
$path = explode("/", $url);
$last = end($path);

A: Try this:
Here you have 2 options.

1. Using explode function.

$filename = end(explode('/', 'http://domain/fotografo/admin/gallery_bg.php'));

2. Use basename function.

$filename = basename("http://domain/fotografo/admin/gallery_bg.php");

-
Thanks

A:     $basepath = implode('/', array_slice(explode('/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']), 0, -1)) . '/';
    $uri = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], strlen($basepath));
    if (strstr($uri, '?')) $uri = substr($uri, 0, strpos($uri, '?'));
    $url = trim($uri, '/');

In PHP 7 the accepted solution is giving me the error that only variables are allowed in explode so this works for me.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Two-time British Open champion Greg Norman predicts that the prize money in golf will continue to decrease because of the recession.
The 54-year-old Australian spoke Wednesday before the start of the Dubai World Championship, the European Tour's season-ending event. The tournament opens Thursday on the Norman-designed Earth Course.
The tournament originally had a $10 million prize fund, but it was reduced to $7.5 million in September because of the global economic downturn.
"Golf is not going to be like it used to be. It's tough out there -- tough in business," Norman said. "... I have gone through the cycle of things being really good and then going through another cycle.
"But I don't think the young generation see it because they have never seen it before. I have been through three recessions."
Norman advised golfers to avoid complacency.
"We golfers have got to step up to the plate and be alert to it," he said. "We have all had to tighten our belts and I think it would be very responsible of the players to be cognizant of that."
English golfer Lee Westwood, who has won about $3 million this year, said the prize in Dubai -- the winner will get $1.25 million -- is still a lot.
"We should not complain about the cut in the prize fund here because we are still competing for an awful lot of money," he said, "and we are aware that some of golf sponsors are struggling at the moment."

Tests were carried out to study the toxicity, oviposition suppression, ovicidal and larvicidal effects of Chenopodium ambrosioides L. as powder, extracts and essential oil against Callosobruchus maculatus F. (Coleoptera: Bruchidae), Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Tribolium castaneum Jacqueline du Val. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). The powder formulation was more toxic to S. zeamais than either C. maculatus or T. castaneum with 48 h LC50 values of 0.46 g/kg, 1.60 g/kg and 2.14 g/kg, respectively. Ethanol extract was more toxic to C. maculatus with a 48 h LC50 value of 0.023 g/l, than other test insect species. The essential oil treatment demonstrated higher fumigant toxicity against C. maculatus than S. zeamais with 24 h LC50 values of 1.33 μl/l and 1.90 μl/l respectively. The oil vapour showed activity against C. maculatus egg, but had no appreciable larval mortality. The weight loss of grains admixed with C. ambrosioides powder was lower than the controls after 150 days of field storage.

I am currently a PhD student in the Geology program at Oregon State University, working with Gordon Grant as a member of the Watershed Processes Group. I study the degree to which the hydrologic regime controls channel organization in gravel-bed rivers.
I grew up in Tallahassee, FL and made the long cold journey to New Hampshire for my undergraduate education. I received Bachelor's degrees in Earth Sciences and Environmental Studies from Dartmouth College in 2012 before continuing on to a PhD program at Oregon State University. I participated in a range of research projects as an undergraduate that spanned topics from detecting anthrax in soil to analyzing lake sediment cores from Greenland. But I knew I was fascinated by river processes after taking my first water science class at Dartmouth. I went on study rivers for my senior thesis, a project looking at mercury deposition on floodplains, and then embarked on my graduate journey in fluvial geomorphology immediately after college. You can Download my CV below.
I am a member of two graduate student groups at Oregon State. I am currently Vice Chair of the Graduate Student Committee (GSC), a group that acts as a liaison between students and the administration/faculty. I run the GSC website and facebook page among other duties, and also serve as a student representative on the Strategic Planning and Hiring Committee.
I am also involved in Hydrophiles, a water-focused student group on campus. I help organize outreach and volunteer events that support water health and education in our community. You can read more about my involvement on my Outreach page.
Outside of academia, I enjoy trail running and educational outreach. I began running competitively since 6th grade and have been running ever since! My event in college was the 5k, but I have since moved up to trail 50k's after moving to Oregon. I have also helped support the running community over the years by serving as head coach for Girls on the Run VT, raising money for Girls on the Run, and volunteering at local races.
I got married to a great guy on August 9th, 2015! We live with our dog, Patch, in Corvallis, where we look at rivers, run, and chase squirrels together.


The gun control bill I warned you about just before Thanksgiving is scheduled for a hearing in DC — I need you to read this and take immediate action!
Senator Feinstein (CA) and her sellout Republican ally John Cornyn (TX) are trying to fast track their gun control bill through the Judiciary Committee!
Capitol insiders are reporting that Senator Cornyn is working on getting the floor votes of Georgia Senators Perdue and Isakson in hopes of passage by year's end.
As we told you, radically anti-gun Senator Dianne Feinstein is using the recent shootings in Texas and Las Vegas as a cover to try to enact a massive federal gun registry!
This, despite the fact that almost every mass shooter of the last few years passed a NICS check to buy their gun -– demonstrating the absurdity of the system in the first place!
Feinstein knows this. But this bill isn't about stopping crime, it's about establishing a federal gun registry which future administrations can use at their whim!
Sources indicate that Feinstein and Cornyn are working quickly to lock in more co-sponsors which is why it's urgent you contact Senators Perdue and Isakson again and insist that they oppose this bill!
And please forward this to your pro-gun friends and family and make sure they contact him too!
After you've taken action, please click here and consider chipping $10 or $20 or whatever you can afford to help Georgia Gun Owners keep up in the fight.

The grounds for challenging default judgments in New York
Enforcing judgments against joint bank accounts
If a person or business has been served with lawsuit papers and fails to answer or respond to the lawsuit within the time required by law (typically about 30 days from service), that party is in default. The plaintiff can then immediately seek to enter a default judgment against the defaulting party for the full amount claimed in the lawsuit, without a full trial and by presenting only a limited amount of proof.
A default judgment gives the plaintiff in whose favor the judgment was entered almost all of the same rights and powers to collect the amount of the default judgment (plus interest) from the defaulted party as a judgment entered after a trial or other ruling on the merits of the case.
New York law offers a defaulting party an opportunity to challenge and potentially vacate a default judgment but only if the party meets the standards and, where applicable, time limits, set forth in the law. What follows is a list of the applicable laws and a general summary of what each law requires the defaulting party to show in order to vacate a default judgment:
A. Laws with a time limit on when a motion to vacate judgment may be brought
CPLR § 5015 (a) (1)
- must show a
(1) reasonable excuse for the default; and
(2) meritorious defense to plaintiff's case
- motion must be brought within one (1) year from entry (or service) of the default judgment
CPLR § 317
- must show
(1) the defaulting party did not personally receive notice of the summons in time to defend the lawsuit; and
- motion must be brought within one (1) year from finding out that the default judgment was entered but no more than five (5) years from the entry of the judgment
B. Laws without a time limit on when a motion to vacate judgment may be brought
- must show that the court lacked jurisdiction to enter the judgment (e.g., if the lawsuit papers
were never served)
- must show fraud, misrepresentation, or other misconduct of an adverse party
Inherent power of the courts to relieve a party from a judgment
"sufficient reason", which generally means the judgment was obtained by fraud, mistake, inadvertence, surprise or excusable neglect; and
(2) vacating the judgment is "in the interests of substantial justice"
A judgment is a determination by a court of the rights and liabilities of the parties to a lawsuit, such as the amount of money one party owes to the other. A "judgment debtor" is the person or business against whom a money judgment has been issued. The party in whose favor a money judgment has been entered is known as the "judgment creditor". Some monies belonging to a judgment debtor are legally exempt from the reach of a judgment creditor, such as retirement funds and 90% of recently earned salary.
In New York, a judgment generally may be enforced against half of the non-exempt funds in a judgment debtor's joint bank account that is held in the names of both the judgment debtor and another person who is not a judgment debtor. For example, a judgment against one spouse generally may be enforced against half of the non-exempt money in a joint bank account held in the names of both spouses.
The law of joint bank accounts in New York starts with Banking Law § 675, which is titled "Joint deposits and shares; ownership and payment". The statute sets forth that when a joint bank account is opened in the names of two people (e.g., both spouses), all deposits into that joint account "shall become the property of [both] persons as joint tenants", and "shall, in the absence of fraud or undue influence, be prima facie evidence . . . of the intention of both depositors . . . to create a joint tenancy and to vest title to such deposit[s] . . . and additions and accruals thereon, in such survivor".
In short, Banking Law § 675 provides that money deposited into a joint bank account becomes the jointly owned property of both account holders and it will be presumed that the account holder that made the deposit, intended the money to become the joint property of the other named account holder. As a result, the presumption in New York is that regardless of which account holder deposited funds into a joint bank account that is in the names of the judgment debtor and another person, half of the money in the joint account belongs to the judgment debtor and will be subject to the judgment. See Johnson v. Kilpatrick, 233 A.D.2d 205 (1st Dept. 1996).
However, that presumption is rebuttable and may be disproved "by a clear and convincing showing that, at the time the accounts were created, the accounts were opened as a matter of convenience, or by proving undue influence, fraud or lack of capacity". In re Harley, 186 A.D.2d 1020 (4th Dept. 1992). If there is no contrary proof presented, then the judgment creditor can go after half of the non-exempt funds in the joint bank account to try to satisfy the judgment.

A Quick Guide to Anti-Suit Injunctions
What is an anti-suit Injunction?
An anti-suit injunction is an order from the court prohibiting a party from commencing or continuing legal proceedings in a foreign court which are brought in breach of a binding law and jurisdiction clause.
It may also take the form of a mandatory injunction which requires the defendant to take a positive step, such as discontinuing the foreign proceedings.
Is there a breach of an agreement to arbitrate?
The most common scenario arises in respect of contracts of carriage contained in Bills of Lading. Under English law a Bill may purport to incorporate the law and jurisdiction clause of a Charterparty, but the cargo receiver under the Bill of Lading may nevertheless commence proceedings in a foreign court.
In granting the anti-suit injunction, the English court will consider the following:
Is there a London arbitration clause in the contract of carriage contained in and evidenced by the Bill(s) of Lading?
Is the defendant bound by any arbitration clause as holder of the Bill(s) of Lading?
Has any agreement to arbitrate contained in the Bill(s) of Lading been 'varied or superseded'?
Is there an arbitration clause in the Bill(s) of Lading?
Under English law, where the words of incorporation in a Bill of Lading include a clear reference to the law and arbitration clause of a Charterparty, that clause will be incorporated into the Bill of Lading - see The Rena K [1978] 1 Lloyds Rep 545 at p.551.
Is the defendant bound by the arbitration clause?
Usually the defendant will have relied upon its rights as lawful holder of the Bill of Lading to take delivery of the cargo and to commence the foreign proceedings.
The lawful holder of a Bill of Lading is obliged to resolve any claim under the Bill of Lading in accordance with its terms, including the agreement to resolve disputes in a particular forum – see The Kishore [2016] 1 Lloyd's Rep. 427 at [31].
Has the arbitration clause been superseded or varied?
It is often the case that a claimant shipowner will issue an LOU in order to avoid, or release the vessel from, arrest. That LOU may be subject to foreign law and jurisdiction.
The wording of the LOU will need to be considered to see whether:
there could be said to be an agreement (or intention) to abandon the original agreement to arbitrate disputes arising under the Bills of Lading; or
the law and jurisdiction clause could be construed as applying to all disputes arising under the Bills of Lading, rather than just disputes under the LOU.
Can the defendant establish some strong reason why the application ought to be refused?
Where foreign proceedings are brought in breach of an agreement to arbitrate an anti-suit injunction will usually be granted unless there are "strong reasons" not to do so.
"Strong reasons" usually include:
The injunction has not been sought promptly, and
The foreign proceedings are too far advanced.
See The Angelic Grace [1995] 1 Lloyds Rep 87 at p.96; Donohue v Armco Inc [2002] 1 Lloyd's Rep 425 at [24].
Has the injunction been sought promptly?
Delay in itself can be fatal to an anti-suit injunction application without any other relevant factors being considered. However, the court will look at what has actually happened during the period of the delay which may mean that the anti-suit injunction should not be granted, rather than considering the length of the delay in isolation.
It will be important to explain in a Witness Statement why there was a delay and what happened in that period. Relevant factors could include:
How far the foreign proceedings have advanced. If they are still at an early stage, no prejudice will be suffered to the defendant by the granting of the anti-suit injunction. Similarly, wasted resources of the foreign court would be minimal.
Whether the foreign court has engaged with the substantive merits of the case.
Whether formal steps have been taken by the claimant.
Whether the claimant has submitted to the foreign jurisdiction.
Has the claimant submitted to the foreign jurisdiction?
The court will consider all steps taken in the foreign court and the extent to which these were a voluntary submission to the jurisdiction or were mandatory procedural steps in order to best protect the claimants' position.
A challenge to the jurisdiction of the foreign court is unlikely to be a voluntary submission to the foreign jurisdiction.
Submissions on merits may be seen as a voluntary submission to the foreign court depending on the procedure in that court. In some jurisdictions it is not possible to challenge the jurisdiction of the court before submissions on merits are to be served. Where submissions are compulsory, a court may not find that this is a voluntary submission to the jurisdiction. However, a claimant should not delay in making the anti-suit injunction where submissions are due.
Can an LOU provided by the claimant shipowners result in a submission to the foreign jurisdiction?
This will depend on the wording of the LOU and the circumstances with which it was issued.
Where the claimant shipowner had no other choice but to issue an LOU which, for example, responded to a foreign judgment, an English court may be sympathetic to the commercial pressure put on the claimant owners. It is important to explain this in the Witness Statement and append evidence, such as correspondence negotiating the terms of the LOU.
On notice (inter partes) or without notice (ex parte)?
An ex parte application should ordinarily only be made where there is a need for urgency and there is a risk that notifying the defendant would defeat the purpose of the application (e.g. by causing the defendant to issue an anti-anti-suit injunction). It is advisable to seek foreign legal advice on the risk of an anti-anti-suit injunction.
If there is a need for urgency, you may consider an inter partes application on an expediated basis with service by alternative means.
The procedure for ex parte and inter partes applications are slightly different. It is likely that there will be two or three hearings for an ex parte application to allow the respondents to appear, whereas there may be one or two hearings for an inter partes application, depending on whether it is contested or not. Accordingly, an inter partes application is likely to reduce the number of hearings and the costs overall.
Establish that there is a binding law and jurisdiction clause and that the defendants have breached it.
Don't delay in making application after being made aware of the defendants' breach.
Avoid taking any step in the foreign proceedings beyond challenging the jurisdiction of the foreign court unless you have no choice.
Impact of Brexit and proceedings in Europe
The United Kingdom (UK) is no longer bound by the Lugano Convention 2007 or Brussels Recast Regulations, both of which prohibited the English Courts from granting anti-suit injunctions in relation to proceedings in Member States. However, the UK has applied to accede to the Lugano Convention which, if approved, is likely to prohibit anti-suit relief in relation to actions in court of the EU or Lugano states. We recommend that you check the current position before pursuing the anti-suit injunction in any Member state.

Comey says new information that Hillary Clinton drummed up Russia controversy to vilify Trump 'doesn't ring a bell'
Former FBI Director James Comey on Wednesday said it didn't "ring a bell" when asked whether he received an investigative referral on Hillary Clinton purportedly approving "a plan" attempting to tie President Donald Trump to Russia and distract from her email scandal before the 2016 election.
During his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Chairman Lindsey Graham asked Comey about the newly declassified information released Tuesday by Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe.
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION BRIEFED ON CLAIMS HILLARY CLINTON DRUMMED UP RUSSIA CONTROVERSY TO VILIFY TRUMP, DISTRACT FROM EMAILS
According to the declassified information, in September 2016, U.S. intelligence officials forwarded an investigative referral on Clinton purportedly approving "a plan concerning U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections" in order to distract the public from her email scandal. That referral was sent to Comey and Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok.
"You don't remember getting an investigatory lead from the intelligence community? Sept. 7, 2016, U.S. intelligence officials forwarded an investigative referral to James Comey and Strzok regarding Clinton's approval of a plan [about] Trump…as a means of distraction?" Graham asked Comey Wednesday.
"That doesn't ring any bells with me," Comey replied.
"That's a pretty stunning thing that it doesn't ring a bell," Graham fired back. "You get this inquiry from the intelligence community to look at the Clinton campaign trying to create a distraction, accusing Trump of being a Russian agent or a Russian stooge."
Graham questioned "how far-fetched is that," citing the fact that Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, through law firm Perkins Coie, hired Fusion GPS and ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele to author and compile information for the controversial and unverified anti-Trump dossier.
The dossier contains claims about alleged ties between Donald Trump and Russia that served as the basis for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants obtained against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
"A bunch of crap to be used against an American citizen," Graham said. "You don't recall this?"
Comey replied: "It doesn't sound familiar."
Asked later, by Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., on the matter, Comey said: "I don't know what the director is doing."
Graham's line of questioning came after Ratcliffe informed the committee Tuesday that the Obama administration obtained Russian intelligence in July 2016 with allegations against Clinton, but cautioned that the intelligence community "does not know the accuracy of this allegation or the text to which the Russian intelligence analysis may reflect exaggeration or fabrication."
Ratcliffe, in the letter sent to the committee, did not offer specifics on the intelligence, but did reveal that former CIA Director John Brennan's handwritten notes show that he briefed former President Obama on the information.
According to Ratcliffe's letter, the intelligence included the "alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016 of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services."
SOURCE OF STEELE DOSSIER WAS INVESTIGATED BY FBI FOR RUSSIAN CONTACTS
Nick Merrill, Clinton's spokesperson, called the allegations "baseless b———t."
"This is Russian disinformation," tweeted Rachel Cohen, spokeswoman for Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., adding that it was "laundered by the Director Of National Intelligence and Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee."
"This is extraordinary," she tweeted.
But Ratcliffe, in a statement released after the information was made public, pushed back on the idea he was advancing "Russian disinformation."
"To be clear, this is not Russian disinformation and has not been assessed as such by the Intelligence Community," Ratcliffe said in a statement to Fox News. "I'll be briefing Congress on the sensitive sources and methods by which it was obtained in the coming days."
Graham, of South Carolina, said he would review the information, noting that Ratcliffe would make it available in a classified setting.
"This latest information provided by DNI Ratcliffe shows there may have been a double standard by the FBI regarding allegations against the Clinton campaign and Russia," Graham said.
The new information will likely add to criticisms from Republicans and those close to the president about the Russia investigation.
Attorney General Barr last year appointed U.S. Attorney of Connecticut John Durham to investigate the origins of the FBI's Russia probe shortly after special counsel Robert Mueller completed his years-long investigation into whether the campaign colluded with the Russians to influence the 2016 presidential election.
It is unclear whether this information will be considered part of Durham's investigation.

DTG, BBC and ITV carried out testing on the latest wireless microphone technology as a part of the PMSE (Programme Making and Special Events) programme this week. The testing was supported by a number of major equipment manufacturers and took place at the BBC Wood Norton Studios in Evesham.
The PMSE industry is going through the process of moving equipment deployments out of 700 MHz due to the frequencies being sold off for mobile services from May 2020.
This potentially has far-reaching consequences for content production as the spectrum available for deploying wireless microphones and other PMSE equipment will be considerably reduced. As a result, productions and events which heavily rely on wireless technology for audio such as Glastonbury, Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor, requirenew ways of working to condense down the spectrum needed for microphones, talkback systems, and in-ear monitors.
The testing at Wood Norton was assessing the performance of the latest digital wireless microphones in a studio environment when they have to be deployed much closer together in frequency.
The results and conclusions will assist PMSE users who are currently deciding how best to adapt their operations before the 2020 deadline.
The results are being processed and will be shared via the DTGs PMSE Implementation Group. Additionally, a template for repeating the tests will be available through the DTG's PMSE Coordination Report, which is in the final stages of review.

At times, Tiger Woods' 2018 was so unbelievable you would have thought it came from a screenplay. While his story was very much real, it's now getting silver-screen treatment.
ESPN announced on Wednesday that is producing a film on Woods' historic comeback season, set to air on December 30, Woods' 43rd birthday.
"Tiger Woods: Return of the Roar" will chronicle the highs and lows of last campaign, starting with his return to competitive golf at the 2017 Hero World Challenge and culminating with his 80th career tour win at East Lake.
ESPN says the documentary will feature 60 interviews with PGA Tour players and professional athletes to give context on perspective on Tiger's comeback. There were also be a feature with Woods' caddie Joe LaCava on what he saw on the bag this season.
The film is directed by PGA Tour Entertainment in conjunction with ESPN. Following the movie's release, it will stream internationally on GOLFTV.


Your humble blogger previously has pointed out others' citations of the lameness of the New York Times "public editorship" under its current custodian, Byron Calame: Class action copyright settlement co-objector Todd Pitock had an exchange with Calame (http://freelancerights.blogspot.com/2005/08/sizing-up-ny-times-public-editor-small.html) and Slate media critic Jack Shafer had an essay last May, headlined, "The Public Editor as Duffer," which can be accessed at http://www.slate.com/id/2141404/.
"Public editor," I note, is pompous Timesese for the vaguely self-critical, yet self-serving, position more commonly called "ombudsman" or "readers' advocate."
In his column today, Calame revisits the issue that first drew Todd Pitock's ire. Read "Spotting Freelancers' Conflicts: A Solution With Problems," and snooze.
As Todd and others wrote last year, The Public Editor's earlier account misreported the outcome and implications of the Supreme Court's 2001 Tasini decision regarding the exploitation of freelancers' secondary rights to previously published articles. In response, Calame said he thought he was properly characterizing the scenario -- thus was beyond criticism even if mistaken (and even if he never bothered later to correct or clarify).
Now Calame regurgitates the whole, largely boring controversy over freelance journalists' undisclosed links to the ventures they proceed to contract to write about for The Times. While I acknowledge the validity of the problem (though not necessarily the scale of Calame's attack on it, in proportion to parallel blatant corruption involving staff writers, not to mention corporate conflicts), I have a gentle question.
Why has The Times -- which touted the proposed class action copyright settlement as a done deal when it was announced in March 2005 -- never reported, in Calame's column or anywhere else, that the settlement has been appealed by a slate of objectors, who will be heard in oral argument before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in March?
The simple answer as to why it has not been reported that the settlement has been appealed is that nobody except the objectors take the appeal seriously. Your appeal has absolutely no merit and only serves to hurt the freelance writers that you purport to "protect." Why didn't you just object, go away, then file your own lawsuit instead of inflicting misery on others?
There is considerable merit in the appeal, according to at least one IP attorney I know. Moreover, the appeal did not emcompass all of the issues raised at the so-called "Fairness Hearing".
Let me add that the ones hurting freelance writers are themselves by their continued failure to get involved in these issues and step up and be heard. That does not mean demonstrations that no one heeds, but getting their copyrights registered, and filing lawsuits that are not bogus class actions that only serve the defendants and their lawyers.
No offense, but I was directing my comment and question to Mr. Muchnick. But since you wanted to chime in....Do you understand that everyone's particular needs can not be met by a class action lawsuit. If the suit doesn't meet the greater need, then most will object and the class won't be certified. On a personal level, I have many thousands of unregistered works. It would be impossible and impractical, not to mention unaffordable to register them all. I'm sure there are many in this suit who are in the same boat as I am; just grateful to get something back after selling works as an independent contractor. Once again I ask the question that nobody seems to want to answer: Why didn't the people who object just do so and file their own lawsuits. Get greedy and go after as much money as you want. I couldn't care less. Just leave me and the vast majority of freelancers out of it. There is nothing in the final settlement that prevents opt-outs from filing their own lawsuits. You and your small group of greed mongers are holding up payments to people who need the money. Since your attorney, Mr. Chalmers, seems far too intelligent to take this case on contingency, I only pray to God that this is costing Muchnick and the rest of the appellants an arm and a leg. I must appologize for saying that your appeal has "absolutely no merit." It has as much chance as a snowball in hell or a Harvey Fierstein, Jr.

Orientation Toward the Political System
Starting with independence, the Ivoirian polity experienced an unusual reorientation of political and moral values not found elsewhere in most of sub-Saharan Africa. Strong economic growth (at least through the mid-1970s) and relatively high rates of urbanization and literacy, in combination with a pervasive media, have exposed the polity to Western cultural values and the politics of consumption. In few other countries was materialism as open and avowed an ideology as in C�te d'Ivoire. Consequently, the salient divisions in the Ivoirian polity were economic rather than ethnic or religious. Stratification by class was congruent with the fundamental difference between rulers and ruled. In many instances, class differences also coincided with ethnic divisions, which tended to exaggerate the importance of ethnicity while permitting some observers to diminish the importance of class membership. This was no new phenomenon--the same stratification characterized most precolonial societies in C�te d'Ivoire. Nevertheless, the expanded opportunities for material consumption and the manifest extremes of wealth and poverty that subsequently emerged were new. Members of the elite translated the struggle for independence into a quest for privilege. They insisted that the interests of all Ivoirians were in harmony, a supposition that allowed them to rationalize the use of public policy on their behalf. For their part, the have-nots not only envied the elite for its material attainments but also knew how the elite, using the political system, attained them. So while rich and poor--the rulers and the ruled--nurtured vastly different expectations of the political system, they shared a clear understanding of its ultimate purpose.
Historically, the political elite included the wealthiest 10 percent of the plantation owners. By the late 1980s, however, with the bureaucratization of the state, the nature of the elite had changed markedly. Most often its members were high-level bureaucrats and party officials. Simultaneously, and as a direct consequence of their political connections, many held directorships in locally based corporations or were minority shareholders in multinational corporations. Characteristically, the businesses in which members of the elite invested required relatively small investments in comparison with anticipated returns. That situation was especially common in real estate, where investors typically sought a full return on investment within three years. Another industry favored by the elite was transportation. Finally, some members of the elite invested in agriculture, exporting bananas and pineapples, the prices of which, unlike the prices of coffee and cocoa, were not regulated by the government.
Significantly, the elite was not a true entrepreneurial class; that is, its members did not save and invest capital. Rather, they created a favorable environment for schemes initiated by foreigners and subsequently mediated (for a fee) between bureaucracy, business, and politicians. Instead of investing, the elite consumed. Its members sent their offspring to France for at least part of their education. They became accustomed to imported food, clothing, and high-technology consumer goods. Perhaps most important, the elite nurtured--and in turn sought--legitimacy in an ethos that openly elevated materialism to the level of political and moral ideology. According to one observer, the elite became, in effect, a class that could not afford to lose power.
To sustain its position of privilege, the elite formulated a political strategy based on limited participation and the politics of co-optation to vent the pressures linked to rapid change. Thus, with independence the government banned any opposition political parties or voices, incorporated nearly all unions into the party, and handpicked National Assembly candidates who then ran on a slate presented to voters who either cast a "yea" ballot or did not vote. Even after the government permitted contested elections for the assembly, the party, acting as surrogate for the government, passed on the acceptability of all candidates. Similarly, the indigenous private sector was unable to compete with the vast resources that the elite-dominated public sector could marshall and effectively was excluded from participating in economic transformation.
Appreciative of the importance of political stability, the government ostensibly compromised by permitting small changes for the sake of order. Nevertheless, none of the demands for change, which in the past may have included pay raises, better working conditions, scholarship aid, or improved relations between groups, required a substantial change in governing institutions or procedures, and they were generally co-opted by Houphou�t-Boigny's expressions of concern and the appointment of a commission to study the problem. Finally, the government bought compliance from its more articulate and therefore more serious critics by offering them resources such as land, licenses, forestry rights, or positions in the party and government.
Counterpoised to the modern elite were the peasantry, students, middle- and lower-level civil servants, and a growing urban underclass. Because of explicit public policy decisions, few members of that group benefited directly from C�te d'Ivoire's vaunted economic growth. This group was no less politicized than the elite, but it lacked avenues of expression. Accordingly, this underclass responded to restrictions either by refusing to participate in the political process or by challenging public policy. Nonparticipation was generally a rural phenomenon, and in some areas less than 40 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in the 1985 elections, in which Houphou�t-Boigny boasted of having received more than 99 percent of the vote. Challenges to public policy took the form of riots against unemployment, student protests, and demonstrations against high prices, shrinking subsidies, land confiscation, foreigners, and high taxes (see Internal Dissent and Further Consolidation of Power , ch. 1; Internal Security , ch. 5). The government customarily responded to conflict with force followed by a demand for loyalty to the ruling regime. Groups demonstrating their political support received benefits in the form of clinics, schools, investment in infrastructure, markets, and other public facilities. Conversely, those withholding support were simply denied any resources for economic development.


Our pastors offer a Bible study on Sunday mornings. The studies vary from an entire book of the Bible to specific topics. We may also take time to look at intriguing topics that come from the weekly Scripture readings used during the Divine Service. There is open discussion but no one is expected to read out loud or share if they are not comfortable. We are also discovering the many helpful study tools included in The Lutheran Study Bible.

One of your primary strengths is probably exactly that—physical capability. Offer to help other nurses with the physically challenging duties such as moving patients, lifting equipment, and carrying supplies. You may also be one of those men who possess admirable emotional strength, which will come in handy in your position as well. Be ready to step in when tempers flare or drama floods your floor. You can be the source of strength your core group of nurses relies upon.
Sure, there are going to be guys who take pot shots at you and other nurses who might not give you the respect you're due until you've worked with them awhile. Still, it never helps to be defensive or sour-natured. Come up with a few dismissive lines and learn to laugh off anything that smacks of an insult. Remind yourself that in time, you'll show both your coworkers and your patients who you are: a strong male nurse who can carry them across the room, handle their breakdowns, and drug 'em up so they feel better again. What's not to love?

Mahesh Babu, who is having torrid time at the box office these days, has finally learnt a lesson from his debacles. Mahesh Babu's films are going out of control in terms of budget, which is resulting in commercial flops.
His last three outings, Sainikudu, Athidhi and Khaleja budgets overshoot and that resulted in the colossal failure of those films. Despite having average content, Athidi and Khaleja were ended up as flops due to high budget.
On the other hand, Pokiri film is made with a limited budget and struck the right chords and we know the result. Athidhi and Khaleja films would have been commercial hits if made with the same budget as that of Pokiri.
Mahesh is aware of this fact and is now having everything in control for Dookudu. Although it is not his home production, Mahesh is being watchful about the budget to avoid commercial failure. Srinu Vytla too is known for making films within the estimated budget and if everything goes as per plans, Dookudu is going to be a hit even if the film is not up the expectations!

So who needs this truck, this behemoth that is essentially one of the most powerful and capable pick-up trucks a person can drive without a commercial trucking licence? I guess it would be someone that has towing and hauling requirements that push past the limits of today's light-duty trucks, which are no weaklings in their own right.
If this is you, you have a dizzying array of possibilities when it comes to ordering your truck. Five trim levels, three cab sizes, two- or four-wheel drive, two box sizes/wheelbases, different axle ratios and yes, of course the option of gas or diesel engines. Once you wrap your head around this, you'll eventually figure out what suits you best.
For the record, this truck is pretty much a carry-over from the previous F250 with some tweaks under the hood, netting the driver some more horsepower and torque without affecting the truck's fuel efficiency rating.
Let's start at business end. What could possibly justify a $10,000 upgrade price under the hood? Well, Ford thinks you'll want their Power Stroke turbo-diesel 6.7-litre V8 so badly that you'll be willing to pay dearly for it. What do you get for that lofty option price? Well, the important part is 860 lb.ft of torque at 1600 RPM. That's stump-pulling power. If you care about horsepower, which matters very little in a vehicle like this, the diesel puts out 440 horsepower at 2800 RPM.
The F250 gets a 6-speed automatic and a surprisingly small 98 litre fuel tank. It goes up to 142 litres in long wheelbase models. All that to pull a gargantuan, 3385 kg (7463 pounds) beast around.
Fuel efficiency is laughable, of course, but if you care, I averaged 17 L/100 km (14 US mpg) during my week with it, excluding the period of time when I did the towing test. That's actually not terrible, if you take everything into consideration.
While it's basically old news, there is a noteworthy item when it comes to the truck's exterior. The grille! LOOK AT THAT THING!
You can't miss it. And neither can the person in front of you. I constantly saw people checking their rear-view mirrors when I was following them and almost immediately ducking out of the lane, likely pulling over to check their shorts. It's a frightening proposition to be ahead of a truck like this, knowing that one stab of the throttle could likely propel this leviathan directly over your vehicle. The fact that the entire thing has been slathered in chrome ensures that you can see this F250 from space.
The truck's size can't be understated. It is simply a massive pick-up, even dwarfing mortal half-tons parked beside it. But other than the grille, you won't find a lot of things that stand out visually.
Make the big step up into the truck and you'll be greeted by an interior that is spacious and roomy (including nearly enough headroom for a cowboy hat) but is certainly starting to show its age. You'll find what seems like hectares of hard, old-school plastics. The fit and finish isn't that impressive, with some of the plastics on the door panels and the centre console standing proud and offering up sharp edges for you to catch your pant leg on. Oh and then there's that "wood" trim. It looks like it was made by Tupperware. It's awful.
The heated and cooled power-adjustable leather seats are very comfortable – around town and for long-haul trips. You can further customize your driving experience with the adjustable pedals, moving them closer or further away.
The stack has the MyFordTouch system sitting front and centre. Below it are the controls for the media system as well as the automatic (dual-zone) climate control system. Many of the knobs are chunky, making them easier to use with gloves on. I like that Ford puts a 12V plug as well as a household 115V plug right on the dash.
The inside door handles are meaty and the door latches are vertical, meaning you can easily get a gloved hand in there, squeeze the grip and get the door open.
There is a lot to work with here, and while the cabin is functional and relatively pleasant, it feels like it comes up a bit short in the quality department. That might seem trivial since we're talking about a "work truck", but plenty of consumers end up commuting with these things or taking them on extended vacations with RVs, and the shortcomings become especially obvious in light of the truck's nearly $80,000 asking price.
Three seats, each with a seatbelt and headrest, make up the second row. There is ample space here, from head room to leg room. Rear passengers get adjustable air vents, another 12V plug and a household 115V plug.
There are a plethora of places to put your stuff, and that's very important to many who will use this as a work truck. You'll find a large pop-up lid on the dash, concealing a rubberized bin which is ideal for your phone, media devices, etc. It keeps them hidden and out of the dust in the main cabin area. There are also two USB plugs and a 12V plug in there for charging.
The console has four cupholders, all of which are removable, exposing a deep storage well underneath. Behind them is a massive armrest, and under the lid is further space with organizational tools, another 12V plug and a flexible tray. Very useful. You'll also find vertical storage slots on the sides of the console, which would easily hold file folders.
The rear seats split 60/40 and the seat bottoms fold up, making for a massive space to transport things inside the rear seating area if you need to get whatever you're moving out of the elements. Folding up the seat cushions also exposes large, lockable storage bins – one under each seat. A nice secure option to stow things and to top it off, the bigger bin includes a 12V plug.
The F250 feels big because it is big, but it remains (surprisingly) very drivable, even around town. Sure it's not a pleasant vehicle to commute with, but it can be done for those that have committed to a massive, heavy-duty tow vehicle that they're forced to use as a daily driver during the other 98% of the year when they're not towing. You just need to be conscious of its size as you change lanes.
Off the line, the F250 has plenty of power and if you ask it to, it launches with authority. Frankly, at any point in time, if you need power, you just need to step on it and you'll get the power you've requested. Just don't expect it to show up quickly. Obviously the engine isn't the issue. It's the transmission. While smooth for the most part, the 6-speed automatic makes things downright frightening when you step on the gas, trying to get into a gap in traffic or attempting to pass. The problem is that a downshift can take 2-3 seconds sometimes. And that makes for some heart flutter. I don't know if that's designed to control the massive torque the engine puts out or what the deal is, but it really does take time to get moving. Once things get going though, this sucker moves!
The Super Duty's unladen ride quality is what one would expect from a heavy-duty truck – it bounces, it jiggles and it twerks better than Miley Cyrus over rough roads. Now, the words "handling" and "heavy-duty truck" rarely end up in the same sentence but it holds its own around town and is easy enough to control and guide into the spot you want to end up in, much like a Navy battle cruiser is easy is guide into port – it takes a lot of space and some concentration, but you'll get there.
Engine noise levels are noticeable but not terrible – you'll get some diesel clatter, especially under load. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the wind noise is controlled at highway speeds. The fly in the noise ointment was the road noise – the tires create a terrible racket at any speeds over 70 km/h. Very, very intrusive and irritating and it gets worse as you drive faster. Visibility out of the vehicle is great toward the front and sides, but even after folding the powered mirrors in and the rear-view camera in action, parking it is a chore. Also, the rear headrests are very intrusive.
Ford claims it has the best in-class tow ratings, but really, nobody cares, since no one gets to wear the crown in this category for long. With each successive model update, each of the truck manufacturers can make this claim at one point or another. Suffice it to say, this truck can pull. Equipped with the diesel engine, it is rated for regular towing up to 14,000 lbs (6350 kg) and for 5th wheel/gooseneck towing up to 15,900 lbs (7212 kg). Payload is also impressive, with a load maximum of 3150 lbs (1429 kg).
I performed a tow test, pulling a large 6,500 pound (2948 kg) RV trailer around the countryside for a little while including up and down a fairly significant 7% grade. The diesel powertrain is very, very impressive, and takes an awful lot of stress out of towing, even with improbably heavy loads according to a couple of people I spoke to who have towed much bigger, heavier loads with an identically-equipped truck.
I have also tested the F250's payload capabilities – not during this week but at a Ford event, when I drove essentially the same truck with a 3000-pound payload (in the form of lashed-down road-working equipment in the box). Truthfully, it was as if the truck didn't even realize someone had added something to its box – the only impact it seemed to have was to smooth out the ride nicely. Speaking of payload, getting up into the truck's box is made easy thanks to Ford's built-in tailgate step and handle. Opted for the short box model but need to move stuff that's longer? No problem with the bed extender, conveniently stowed on either side of the box.
Unfortunately, when I got on the road, I found the Super Duty's steering quite imprecise and floppy – steering feel isn't just for sporty rides, it also impacts me when I'm towing with a big rig like this, and frankly I wasn't always as confident as I wanted to be when trying to maintain my rig and trailer in my lane.
In terms of helping you get you and your cargo to your destination safely, Ford also includes an integrated trailer brake, a manually-switched exhaust brake and powered extendable towing mirrors. 4×4 modes can be electronically shifted on the fly using a dash-mounted knob. And the four "upfitter" switches on the centre stack are perfect for controlling power to after-market auxiliary accessories such as light bars, a winch, etc.
Obviously when it comes to a leviathan like the Ford F250, you don't review it as you would a normal vehicle. This isn't a normal vehicle. It is a heavy-duty truck that has extraordinary strength and is built to move things. If that's what you need, this is the truck for you. Is it better than the competition? Who knows? I don't. I haven't tested other heavy-duty trucks, but I suspect they all do their jobs well and probably sport remarkable similarities in how they go about their jobs. In this case, the F250 is tremendously capable.
WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) was low. She's not a fan of big vehicles, having recently downsized her minivan to something she enjoys driving very much. She didn't like the size of it, and felt very uncomfortable driving it, parking it and even being seen in it. Yet, she loved that it could tow an RV with ease and she enjoyed the space it offered for the kids in the second row. Her opinion is of little value here though, as this truck would be bought with a purpose, not as a generally pleasant vehicle.
While the Super Duty's capabilities, especially with the Power Stroke diesel, are impressive, it's important to maintain some perspective here. If you are not hauling or towing extraordinarily heavy loads on a regular basis, a decently-equipped half-ton pick-up would likely suit your budget and your needs better and on a daily basis, you'd benefit greatly from having a more livable truck. But if it's maximum work you're after, or you just have a desire to frighten small children, the Super Duty F250 is tough to beat.

The Crazies
By Franz Patrick on March 23, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )
The Crazies (2010)
A remake of George A. Romero's 1973 original of the same name, "The Crazies" was about a man (Timothy Olyphant) and his wife's (Radha Mitchell) struggle for survival when a strange chemical started affecting their friends and neighbors. At first, the infected would have a fever but after two days, they would exhibit strange behaviors which ranged from catatonia to full-on violence like killing their families or random strangers. I was surprised with how good this movie was because most of the reviews I read expressed disappointment. I really liked that this film, directed by Breck Eisner, knew how to build suspense and had a pay-off every ten to fifteen minutes so I was engaged with what would happen next. I loved the way it used tight spaces to its advantage, such as the horrifyingly terrific scenes in the morgue and the car wash. When at its best, it reminded me of the relentless scenes in "28 Days Later" and "28 Weeks Later." Unfortunately, the film had its drawbacks thirty minutes into it when the military started taking over the small town. Prior to that, I thought the movie was fantastic because it felt personal. The main characters had no idea what was going on and slowly but surely, the safe life they were so used to living was broken by very strange and creepy happenings which started during a baseball game. With the military in the picture, it became cold and impersonal. Having said that, since this was a remake, I knew that it still had to remain loyal to its original source. However, I felt as though the movie could have minimized the military scenes, which they did during the last twenty or so minutes. But maybe this version minimized the politics as much as they could. I'm not sure because I haven't seen the original. The movie was at its best when the lead characters who were easy to root for were placed in paranoid situations in which they either had to hide from an infected or think that a friend had the virus and it was only a matter of time until they wouldn't be on the same side anymore. "The Crazies" was fun to watch because when it's serious, it gets pretty scary, but it had unintentionally funny lines. It reminded me of a hybrid among the zombie pictures mentioned earlier, "The Happening" and the highly underrated "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" back in 2003. It could have used a little more brain and character development but those elements were the furthest things in my mind when the characters were being attacked from left and right in the most gruesome ways possible.
