The case against traffic lights
Do we need traffic lights? Campaigner Martin Cassini doesn't think so. He says, "They take our eyes off the road. They make us stop when it's safe to go. They increase journey times. They maximise congestion, which costs the economy £20bn a year. They maximise emissions and fuel use from the stop-start drive cycle. They deface streetscapes. They cost the earth to install and run". Read his full article on why they should go and the system of "peaceful anarchy" he says should replace them - and watch his highly entertaining report tonight. But what do you think - has he got a point? .
Takeda and Teva await Delaware judgement on whether Prevacid patent is ...
The Federal Circuit notes that information that is merely cumulative or amounts to just a simple omission from that already in possession by the PTO examiner can be regarded from a point of view of disclosure as a level of materiality that is not high (Litton Sys v Honeywell, 1996; Purdue v Endo Pharmaceuticals, 2006). The final major argument that Teva proffered was that Takeda failed to disclose the IMAU model it used for its patent application when filing an IND with the FDA. But as Takeda pointed out that this was irrelevant to the PTO prosecution of the lansoprazole patent because in the case of the IND application, its aim was solely to obtain regulatory approval from the FDA by selecting “the models used by prior successful applications for anti-ulcer agents". As the IMAU model was quite novel it had not been used in previous IND applications, it stated.
Jackpot for Dade slots
Slot machines are better the second time around, apparently.Miami-Dade County voters gave a resounding yes to slots at the county's dog and horse tracks and jai-alai fronton Tuesday, reversing their 2005 opposition to the new form of gambling.Miami-Dade will join Broward County and the Seminole Tribe in offering Las Vegas-style slots, perhaps pushing South Florida closer to a future as a gambling destination.At Flagler Dog Track, pro-slots forces celebrated a win that their group, Yes for a Greater Miami-Dade, spent more than $6 million to secure.''This is the happiest, greatest day of my life,'' said Isadore Havenick, a vice president for Flagler Dog Track. ``We've worked so hard for years. This is all we've talked about. . . . I feel like we won the Super Bowl.''In 2005, Miami-Dade voters said no to slots by 52 percent, while Broward County's voters said yes by about 57 percent.
Dream ride to Cape, but a nightmare driving home
For thousands of visitors, going to Cape Cod over Memorial Day weekend was much easier and more pleasant than heading home. The new $60 million flyover, which erased the hated rotary at the base of the Sagamore Bridge, smoothed Cape-bound travel on Friday and Saturday. But drivers returning from the Cape Monday found themselves in a worse-than-usual traffic nightmare, with backups that stretched as far as 17 miles to Yarmouth at midafternoon. To avoid a repeat this summer, state transportation officials said yesterday they plan to install electronic signs urging vacationers to stagger their departure from the Cape as well as their arrival. Officials said they will also look at possible changes to the roadways around Exit 1, where Route 6A merges into Route 6 at the base of the bridge.
Are You For Real?: Brand's, Arenas' pending impact
Remember, Arenas is looking for a big payday at season's end, so if you think he's not going to go all out to get back on the court and prove his worth, think again. The only way he is getting the contract he wants at season's end is if he gets back on the court and proves he is healthy. With that said, this guy is not only ultra-talented, but he also is ultra-motivated, and that makes for a dangerous combo in this game. I know there is a lot of skepticism surrounding his return, but I'm pretty confident he will back up his talk and be on the court shortly after the All Star break. In fact, I'll even go so far as to recommend trading for him at this point of the fantasy season, depending on your circumstances. It likely will take Arenas a week or two to get his game back up to snuff, but with the Wizards in the playoff hunt, you can bet they will try to get their biggest star on the court as much as possible.
Software EU Looks For More Anti-competition Gold in the Microsoft Mine
Also did you actually put China and India on there? They are hardly part of the world's currently largest markets. They are an emerging market that shouldn't be overlooked though. I don't think the combined sales from China and India even make 4% of Microsoft's revenue. I know in 2006, China made up less than 1% of Microsoft sales. .
USD still on the defensive.
AUD will likely continue to be the big mover amongst the G5 as we look to the reaction to the Fed decision tomorrow evening. The market in general seems to lack conviction and we look for the post-Fed fallout for a clarification on where things stand. The risk of an ugly, ranging market across most FX pairs is growing here if we don't get decisive action very soon. An excellent article over at the Telegraph (with the wonderful title "Central Banks are fiddling as Rome burns.") outlines the strong cross-currents within the European central banks on the trajectory of rates. What is clear from this situation is that in a year or less from now, the hawks like Trichet and King will either look like visionary and brave icons of monetary prudence, or they will be lambasted as clueless, myopic dinosaurs.
