Telenor still sees promising future with DTAC
by Teerapong Yodwanlop • February 19, 2003 • 0 Comments
The investment write-down by Norway's Telenor in Total Access Communications (DTAC) will have no impact on Telenor's long-term relationship with the Thai cell-phone operator, according to the report published in The Nation on February 19.
Telenor said the earlier week that it had written down its investment in DTAC and the latter's parent firm, United Communication Industry (Ucom), by a combined Bt5.6 billion (900 million kroner) in the last quarter.
The report raised the question of whether Telenor still viewed DTAC as a high-yielding investment.
"The write-down is just a normal financial clean-up and has nothing to do with our long-term commitment in DTAC," said Sigve Brekke, DTAC's co-chief executive.
Brekke, who has also served as managing director of Telenor Asia, represents the Norwegian telecom giant within DTAC's management.
Telenor acquired a 30-per-cent stake in DTAC and a 24.9-per-cent stake in Ucom two years ago in a deal worth US$720 million (Bt31 billion). The Norwegian firm has stakes in 12 mobile-phone companies outside Norway, a near-saturated market. DTAC has the most subscribers of them. The Thai cell-phone operator has around 5.5 million users, a 32-per-cent market share, which makes it the second-largest in the country.
In the first nine months of last year DTAC and Ucom recorded revenue of Bt25.6 billion and Bt5.5 billion respectively.
Brekke said that DTAC's future is very promising and there is still ample room for DTAC to grow. He declined to reveal DTAC's total investment this year, and would only say that it would be funded by DTAC alone.
DTAC, in mid of February this year, launched a nationwide multimedia messaging service (MMS) to enable its subscribers to send and receive integrated text, voice and animated pictures on their MMS-enabled handsets. The following week, the company kicked off its mobile Internet service through partnerships with IT firms Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard to serve the corporate market.
Sunti Medhaviklu, post-paid service director of DTAC, said that DTAC's revenue from the corporate market this year is expected to grow 100 per cent from last year's Bt800 million.
"Our policy now is to break the market into segments and tailor-make our applications to fit their specific demands," Brekke said.
Telenor ASA is Norway's biggest telecom group and the most aggressive of the Nordics in seeking to expand into markets like Russia and Portugal, where growth potential is higher. This expansion led to the hefty charges of 6.2-billion-kroner in total in the last quarter, from write-downs, losses on sales and costs tied to staff cuts. The write-downs came mainly from Telenor Mobile, including 2.1 billion kroner in its holdings in DiGi.com in Malaysia, one billion in Sonofon in Denmark and the 900 million in DTAC/Ucom.
However, Telenor pleased the market with forecasts of higher earnings and turnover, despite reporting the huge write-downs that swung its fourth quarter to a loss.
"Telenor expects continued growth, especially from our international mobile companies," chief executive Jon Fredrik Baksaas told a news conference after unveiling October-December results that generally beat market expectations.
The company posted a pre-tax loss of 5.3 billion kroner from a 708-million-kroner profit a year earlier.
Fourth-quarter revenues fell to 13.04 billion kroner from 15.92 billion, though they still beat forecasts of 12.93 billion.
The company reported a net loss of 4.2 billion kroner, or 2.37 kroner per share, for last year, against a profit of 7.1 billion for 2001. Even so, it proposed a dividend of 0.45 of a kron against 0.35 for 2001.

Q: WCF service callback not called I am using tcp binding in WCF service and my callback at client side in not getting called.This is my code
Service
 public interface IMyContractCallback
{
   [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
    void OnCallback();
}

[ServiceContract(CallbackContract = typeof (IMyContractCallback),SessionMode =
 SessionMode.Required)]
public interface IService1
{

     [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
    void DoSomething();

      [OperationContract]
    int GetCount();
}

 public class Service1 : IService1
{

    private int count=0;
    public int GetCount()
    {
        return count;
    }

    public void DoSomething()
    {
        count++;
        Console.WriteLine("increased count");
       IMyContractCallback callback =
                 OperationContext.Current.GetCallbackChannel<IMyContractCallback>();

            if ((callback as IChannel).State == CommunicationState.Opened)
            {
                callback.OnCallback();
            }

    }
}

and my client is
public class App1
{

    private MyServiceCallback callback;
    private InstanceContext context;
    private Service1Client proxy;

    public App1()
    {
        callback=new MyServiceCallback();

        context = new InstanceContext(callback);
        var factory = new DuplexChannelFactory<IService1>(callback, "EndPointTCP");
        IService1 proxy = factory.CreateChannel();

        callback.proxy = proxy;

        proxy.DoSomething();

    }
}

public class MyServiceCallback : IService1Callback
{

    public IService1 proxy
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
    public void OnCallback()
    {

        Console.WriteLine("Callback thread = " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
        Console.WriteLine(proxy.GetCount());

    }
}

I face two issues:
1.I dont receive callback from DoSomething with above mentioned code.
2.If I declare DoSomething as Twoway ,I do receive callback but it throws exception  "Server did not provide a meaningful reply"

A: The problem is, you're calling the service again from the callback. If you would leave this out, there's no error about "no meaningful answer".
It should help to set ConcurrencyMode attribute to your service and callback class:
[ServiceBehavior(ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Multiple)]
public class Service1 : IService1
...

and
[CallbackBehavior(ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Multiple)]
public class MyServiceCallback : IService1Callback
...

You must set "IsOneWay = false" in the OperationContract, of course.

A: It should work using IsOneWay = true..
Here is an example
----Service Code
[ServiceContract(CallbackContract = typeof(IServerFinishedProcessingCallback), SessionMode = SessionMode.Required)]
public interface IDualMathService
{
    [OperationContract(IsOneWay=true)]
    void ProcessAdd(double num1, double num2);

    [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
    void ProcessSubtract(double num1, double num2);

    [OperationContract(IsOneWay=true)]
    void ProcessMultiply(double num1, double num2);

    [OperationContract(IsOneWay=true)]
    void ProcessDivide(double num1, double num2);
}
public interface IServerFinishedProcessingCallback
{
    [OperationContract(IsOneWay=true)]
    void ProcessingFinished(string operation, double result);
}

[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerSession, ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Multiple)]
public class DualMathServiceClass : IDualMathService
{
    readonly IServerFinishedProcessingCallback _clientCode = OperationContext.Current.GetCallbackChannel<IServerFinishedProcessingCallback>();
    //[PrincipalPermission()]
    public void ProcessAdd(double num1, double num2)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Processing Request for client session ID " + OperationContext.Current.SessionId);
        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Processing Add Request for parameters {0} and {1} ", num1, num2));
        _clientCode.ProcessingFinished("Add", (num1 + num2));
    }
    public void ProcessSubtract(double num1, double num2)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Processing Request for client session ID " + OperationContext.Current.SessionId);
        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Processing Subtract Request for parameters {0} and {1} ", num1, num2));
        _clientCode.ProcessingFinished("Subtract", (num1 - num2));
    }
    public void ProcessMultiply(double num1, double num2)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Processing Request for client session ID " + OperationContext.Current.SessionId);
        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Processing Multiply Request for parameters {0} and {1} ", num1, num2));
        _clientCode.ProcessingFinished("Multiply", (num1 * num2));
    }
    public void ProcessDivide(double num1, double num2)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Processing Request for client session ID " + OperationContext.Current.SessionId);
        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Processing Divide Request for parameters {0} and {1} ", num1, num2));
        if (num2 == 0)
            throw new FaultException<string>("Number 2 can not be zer");
        _clientCode.ProcessingFinished("Divide", (num1 / num2));
    }
}

Client Code
[CallbackBehavior(IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults = true,
    UseSynchronizationContext = true,
    ValidateMustUnderstand =true,
    ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Multiple)]
public class ClientCallbackClass : IDualMathServiceCallback

    public event ProceFinishedEventDelegate ProcessFinishedEvent = null;
    public void ProcessingFinished(string operation, double result)
    {

More TIF Madness in Mt. Lebanon
Posted by Mike Madison on Saturday, March 04, 2006 | Tags: | 4 Comments
Abuses of the TIF (Tax Increment Financing) system in Pennsylvania are so well-known that only the die-hard few seem to care much any more, and the mainstream media doesn't seem to care at all.
Today's case in point: Out here in Mt. Lebanon, there's a nice-looking proposal on the table to build a large condo/retail project on the vacant parcel at the corner of Washington Road and Bower Hill road. The developer, Zamagias Properties, appears to have financing in place and is ready to move forward -- if the Mt. Lebanon Commission, the Mt. Lebanon School District, and Allegheny County hand over a TIF.
The Trib and the Post-Gazette have both carried stories about the proposal in recent days, but neither paper has questioned the Zamagias numbers. In fact, the online version of the Trib's story has been changed -- to make matters seem worse for Zamagias than even Zamagias argued they were before.
In fact, the numbers are dubious. Not only is it not clear at all that a commercial development project in one of the region's most wealthy communities needs a TIF under any circumstances, but in this particular case, Zamagias's own numbers suggest that the developer will make a healthy return on its investment even without a TIF. The TIF ends up being a mass transfer of wealth -- from Lebo and County taxpayers, to the hands of Zamagias, for a project that has a positive ROI already.
I've posted a couple of items about this over at Blog-Lebo, and I've posted an online copy of Zamagias' own project projections [pdf; 300 kb], written last summer.
UPDATE (March 7, 2006): The Tribune-Review takes note.
Take a hike: Zamagias Properties is telling Mt. Lebanon officials that it won't build a $28.8 million luxury condominium project without a $4.5 million tax-increment financing package. The 60 condos would sell for, on average, $475,000. Tony indeed. Why should the public help pay for such a thing? Pure and simple, it shouldn't. If Zamagias can't make a buck on this project on its own, the complex should not be built. Taxpayers are not venture capitalists.
Actually, that last line is misleading. The problem here isn't that a TIF would turn taxpayers into venture capitalists. Venture capitalists, after all, are all about returns on their investment. A TIF for Zamagias would produce returns for Zamagias, not for the taxpayers. The problem here is that Mt. Lebanon and County taxpayers are being asked to give up so much in return for so little.

Get rich or die trying. It sounds like a sign your lives away problem in Mt. Lebanon. I'm rolling thunder, power and rain. Hells bells!
Middle English morgage, from Old French : mort, dead (from Vulgar Latin *mortus, from Latin mortuus, past participle of morī, to die) + gage, pledge (of Germanic origin).
Don't worry about a thing. Before they know what happened, something else will of happened. None of it good, sorry to say. Good makes it's own ways.
There's not much poverty in Mt. Lebanon.
Shame is ever a part of poverty. Fight nice now kids.

TIFs stink.
And, there is another TIF that is brewing at Castle Shannon over the light-rail stop (T-stop). That is another that stinks.
We need to end TIFs for a number of reasons. I blog and yap about them all the time. TIFs (tax breaks) stink. The load is shifted away from the cronies and onto the backs of the everyday citizens.
Furthermore, the tax-break for one means that others won't want to do a sustainable deal in the area ever more.
Finally, we are seeing TIFs upon TIFs. This year's tax break goes to a place that got a tax break in the past decade. That proves, they don't work.
If you hate TIFs, help me get elected or run and support others who say the same. We are few and far between these days.

Midweek Evening Show – 'One Hit Wonder' – 13th – 15th October.
This week's One Hit Wonder comes from 90's 'House' outfit the Original. In a decade of fantastic dance music this song really stood out and is still a floor filler today. Yet the band behind it only managed one more Top 40 Hit before fading away. In fact, this song itself nearly didn't make an impact, peaking at 31 and spending just 3 weeks on the chart. However, a re-release later in the year really did catch attention and the song made it's way to No2 int he UK charts, sticking around for ten weeks.
Written and produced by Walter Taieb and Giuseppe Nuzzo, with vocals performed by Broadway singer Everett Bradley the song also made a splash in America, Iceland, Ireland and the Netherlands.
As usual, we have included links, below, so you can listen again via YouTube and download via iTunes and Amazon.

Kaique Pacheco, a Brazilian who lives in Decatur, will enter this weekend's 25th annual Professional Bull Riders World Finals ranked No. 1 in the 2018 world title race with 5,327 points.
He holds a 1,535-point lead on Jose Vitor Leme. It's not a safe lead because a rider conceivably can earn up to 3,300 points at the World Finals, which is scheduled for Nov. 7-11 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Pacheco injured his left knee during the 2018 Real Time Pain Relief Velocity Tour Finals Saturday at the South Point Hotel in Las Vegas.
According to an account by PBR senior writer Justin Felisko on pbr.com, Pacheco sustained the knee injury and then struggled to put any weight on his left leg while hobbling to safety.
"The bull hit me on that knee with his nostril, and it twisted my knee," Pacheco said through a translator.
Pacheco also had his leg placed into a brace on Saturday night to limit its mobility. He brushed off any concern of him not being able to ride Wednesday at the World Finals.
There are only 10 bull riders mathematically still alive in the title race – Pacheco, Leme, No. 3 Claudio Montanha Jr., No. 4 Luciano de Castro, No. 5 Cody Teel, No. 6 Ramon de Lima, No. 7 Cooper Davis, No. 8 Cody Nance, No. 9 Eduardo Aparecido and No. 10 Fabiano Vieira.
The 2018 PBR world champion will receive a $1 million bonus.
Scott Snedecor of Fredericksburg clinched his fourth steer roping world title in dramatic fashion at the Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping over the weekend in Mulvane, Kan.
Snedecor trailed top-ranked Tuf Cooper by only $4,096 when he backed into the box on Saturday to make his 10th round run. Snedecor had to win the round and earn a check in the average race to overtake Cooper.
Snedecor made a clutch run. In addition to winning the 10th round with a blistering time of 9.0 seconds and $9,155, Snedecor also took home a $13,202 check for finishing fourth in the average. That pushed his 2018 National Finals Steer Roping earnings to $51,086.
When the dust settled, Snedecor finished the year with $121,930. Cooper, of Decatur, finished second in the title race with $112,157.
Cooper, the defending world all-around champion, had a disappointing NFSR, registering a no-time in six of the 10 rounds. Cooper stayed in contention for the world title by winning rounds 6 and 9 and finishing fourth in the seventh.
With the title at stake in the final round, Snedecor said he drew a steer that helped him turn in a fast time.
Twenty-three-time PRCA world champion Trevor Brazile, of Decatur, finished third in the world title race with $104,118.
On the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association Southwest Region circuit, Weatherford College clinched the women's team title at the Oct. 25-27 Texas Tech Rodeo in Lubbock. Weatherford College received great help from Laney Ann Fowler who finished third in the barrel racing title race. Kelly Alexis Valdez finished fourth in barrel racing. Bristan Deann Kennedy came in sixth in the event.
Valdez is ranked first in the Southwest Region's 2018-2019 barrel racing title race with 425 points. Kennedy is fourth with 300 points, and Fowler is fifth with 285.
Weatherford College is ranked second in the Southwest Region's women's team standings with 975 points. Tarleton State leads the rankings with 1,655.
In the Southwest Region men's team standings, Clarendon College is No. 1 with 1,850 points. Cisco College is second with 1,535, Tarleton third with 1,420 and Weatherford College sixth with 1,290.

IKARE Ltd (pronounced 'I care' ) is a UK registered charity, applying venture philanthropic principles to the causes it supports. IKARE aims to overlay private equity investment techniques, and other business expertise and practices, into these causes or 'investees', thereby contributing more than just funding.
Engaging in philanthropy has been an integral part of IK's culture since the firm was founded in 1989. But, as the IK partnership developed, the IK partners wanted to adopt a more structured approach to donations and link them more closely to the core business. We wanted to make a difference, we wanted to federate staff and we wanted to leave something sustainable behind.
IKARE was born out of these aims and ambitions. At the time, we did not know there was a name for our approach. But we later discovered there was: venture philanthropy.
Standing for IK Aid and Relief Enterprise, IKARE is an independent charity. Since 2006, IK Partners have contributed over €1.5 million to IKARE and, of equal if not more importance, also provided considerable non-financial support.
Starting small-scale and focused, the effects have been tangible and long-lasting. IK intends to build on IKARE's achievements in Uganda to look at other initiatives in Africa and Europe.
Out of 11 originally funded, five veterinary practices are now into their fifth year of sustainable operations in different districts across Uganda and close to 200 self-employed spray person businesses have also been set up. There is still a lot more to be done, but the building blocks are in place.
IKARE is a member of EVPA, European Venture Philanthropy Association.

Home » Books » Aratus' Phaenomena
Available May 28th, 2010.
After the Iliad and the Odyssey, the Phaenomena was the most widely read poem in the ancient world. Its fame was immediate. It was translated into Latin by Ovid and Cicero, quoted by St. Paul in the New Testament, and was one of the few Greek poems translated into Arabic.
Aratus' Phaenomena is a didactic poem -- a practical manual in verse that teaches the reader to identify constellations and predict weather. The poem also explains the relationship between celestial phenomena and such human affairs as agriculture and navigation. Despite the historical and pedagogical importance of the poem, no English edition suitable for students and general readers has been available for decades. Aaron Poochigian's lively translation makes accessible one of the most influential poets of antiquity. Poochigian's interpretation of the Phaenomena reestablishes the ancient link between poetry and science and demonstrates that verse is an effective medium for instruction.
Featuring references to Classical mythology and science, star charts of the northern and southern skies, extensive notes, and an introduction to the work's stylistic features and literary reception, this dynamic work will appeal to students of Ancient Greece who want to deepen their understanding of the Classical world.
Review in The Times Literary Supplement, January 28th, 2011, p. 27:
Aratus, born c.310 BC at the Greek colony of Soloi in southern Turkey , was part of the great first generation of Hellenistic Greek poets which included Apollonius of Rhodes, Callimachus of Cyrene and Theocritus of Syracuse. His sole surviving poem, the Phaenomena ('Visible Signs'), is a single book of 1154 Homeric-style hexameters which describes in considerable detail the constellations, their use for measuring time and their function as weather-signs; partly a poetic version of the lost prose manual on astronomy by Eudoxus of Cnidus from the previous century, it is an early example of the paraphrastic tradition of poems versifying established prose material which includes Lucretius' De Rerum Natura, Virgil's Georgics and Milton's Paradise Lost. It was widely read from its first appearance, much imitated by Latin poets and even translated into Arabic.
Aaron Poochigian here gives us an Aratus for our own time, turned in witty heroic couplets which fittingly recall Pope's didactic poems, decently faithful to the original, and helpfully introduced and annotated. The end of the initial invocation to the Stoic-style Zeus, 'By your grace, / I aim to rise as high as mortal may, / Hymning the heavens while you light the way', combines effective alliteration and expressive monosyllables, while the description of Justice preaching to the degenerate masses is splendidly entertaining with its colourful vocabulary and climactic double rhyme: 'From twilit foothills she would steal alone / And chasten humans in a harsher tone./ While gawkers hunkered on a mountainside/ She would give speeches from the peak, deride / Their crimes and swear that she would keep her distance/ However much they cried out for assistance'. This lively and polished version illuminates why this potentially austere catalogue poem was so enthusiastically read for so many centuries, and it is to be warmly welcomed.
—Stephen Harrison, Professor of Latin Literature and Fellow and Tutor in Classics, Corpus Christi College, Oxford.


Wow, what a year 2013 had been for me! There is so much to tell, but, of course, I don't want to bore you with the details. Let us take a look back at what I've read for the last 12 months instead, shall we?
At the beginning of 2013, I've challenged myself to read 75 books. I am very happy to share with you that I've read 81 books. It was a mix collection; I've read from children books, novellas, to some chunks novels. In total, I've read 21,960 pages, compared to last year's 20,062. I've joined 6 buddy reads, and they were the most interesting by far. Also, I've read all the TFG F2F voted books for 2013.
There is a case-full of unread books that I need to tackle, and it would be very regrettable not to read them before we fully migrate to the other side of the world. So for 2014, I believe I'll challenge myself into reading 70 full-length novels only, meaning no novellas or children's picture books. I am considering to read a collection (or author) per month. This will be a trial and error process, so let's see which will work best. But definitely, I intend to finish all those printed copies I have in that bookcase.
Another year of reading challenge, I am excited to read your plans too. Cheers!
Wait, moving to another side of the world???
Wow! Congratulations, Louize! Such resilience and stamina!
81 books! That's pretty awesome. :D Here's to a great 2014 ahead!

Schultz, William Eben, 1887-1964 (Person)
The following was taken from Acacia Fraternity's The Triad, volumes 12-14, October 1916: https://books.google.com/books?id=oC3OAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA337&lpg=PA337&dq
"William Eben Schultz "was born in Canton, Missouri, on the Mississippi, on March 23, 1887. He graduated from Canton High School in 1903, and from Christian University, in Canton, A.B., 1906, A.M., 1907. He entered Yale for the first time in 1908, receiving the degree of M.A. in 1909; and again in 1911, to remain for four more years, studying for the doctor's degree. At college Brother Schultz was interested in dramatics, literary societies and debating, and represented his class as poet. After taking the M.A. at Yale, he taught for two years at the University of Kansas, as instructor in English. Brother Schultz was made a Mason in the summer of 1911, and on his return to New Haven was elected to Yale Chapter of the Acacia Fraternity, being initiated in January, 1912. He has since that time served his chapter as Venerable Dean, Editor of the Yale Triangle (three years), delegate to the Grand Conclave at Chicago, in 1912, Treasurer4 and Chairman of th4e House Committee. He is the author of two sheet music songs published by the national fraternity, and in 1913 was appointed chairman of the Song Book Committee. In university activities Brother Schultz was interested especially in music and publications. He wrote and published two football songs for Yale and was for three years on the staff of the Yale Daily News, the oldest periodical of its kind in America, as editor from the Graduate School. While finishing his work for the Ph. D., which he secured in June, 1915, he was, for the last three years, assistant in English, with the Freshmen Class. Brother Schultz accepted a position at the University of Illinois, as instructor in English, in the summer of 1915, and took up his work there in September, 1915.
After a year at Illinois Brother Schultz accepted a professorship in Christian University, now Culliiver [sic] Stockton College, Canton, Missouri, and is now head of the department of English. He still maintains his interest in college activities, according to the Yale Alumni Weekly, filling and emptying the Waste Basket, a column of original and miscellaneous prose and verse. Brother Schultz is part owner and also contributing editor of the Cantonian. His present address is Canton, Missouri."
Professional Work: During his time at Yale, Dr. Schultz authored several musical compositions including "Culver Stockton's Day (The Wildcat Victory Song" (1906); "The Long Cheer for Yale" (1911); and, "The Team Triumphant" (1912), which was one of three winning songs to be used during the football season, selected by a committee headed by world-renowned composer and songwriter Cole Porter, then the official cheer and song leader of Yale. He also served as editor for Songs of Acacia in 1915 as a member of the Acacia fraternity in 1915.
Dr. Schultz He also wrote many articles published for a variety of publications including Culver-Stockton College Bulletin, Modern Language Notes, The Book News Monthly, The Phi Kappa Phi Journal, The Church School Journal, and The Missouri Historical Review. As a Shakespearean scholar, critic, and avid playgoer, he is probably best known for two scholarly works, Gay's Beggar's Opera: Its Content, History & Influence (1923) and The Music of the Beggar's Opera in Print, 1728-1923 (1924). Since its initial publishing with Yale University Press in 1923, 27 editions of Gay's Beggar's Opera would be published between 1923 and 1967. Dr. Schultz maintained a lifelong interest in John Gay, author of the Beggar's Opera, assembling virtually every printing of the Beggar's Opera into a private collection. Dr. Schultz's The Relation of Poetry to Life was published in 1925; and, he later went on to write Cantonia: A Historical Pageant in Commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the Town of Canton, Missouri, in 1930. He also served as a member of the Society of Midland Authors in 1930.
Dr. Schultz worked as a Professor of English and Head of the department at Illinois Wesleyan from 1934 to 1958. During that time, he wrote the musical composition, Alma Wesleyan in 1935, as well as, numerous historical sketches for the university archives pertaining to Illinois Wesleyan University and prominent figures throughout the history of McLean County, Illinois. Upon his retirement, Dr. Schultz continued to teach some classes and was the University's historian until he died at his desk in 1964.
William Schultz married his wife, Edith Floy Welch in 1920. The two are buried with their daughter Caroline Emily Schultz Ferme in Funks Grove Cemetery in Funks Grove, IL. Dr. Schultz and his wife had one other daughter, June, who graduated from IWU in 1944.

Tag: Hayabusa 2
It's Time for Hayabusa-2 to Come Home
Japan's Hayabusa 2 spacecraft is on its way home. The asteroid-visiting, sample-return mission departed asteroid Ryugu (162173 Ryugu) on Wednesday, beginning its year-long journey back to Earth. And it's carrying some precious cargo.

Watch this Amazing Video of Hayabusa 2 Picking Up a Sample from the Surface of Ryugu
A new video shows Japan's Hayabusa 2 sample return spacecraft collecting samples from asteroid Ryugu. The spacecraft has been at Ryugu for months now, and it's all been leading up to this. In the video, you can clearly see airborne asteroid dust and particles swirling around in the low gravity.

Hayabusa 2 is the First Spacecraft to Sample the Inside of an Asteroid
Japan's Hayabusa 2 spacecraft is now the first spacecraft to retrieve a subsurface sample from an asteroid. On July 11th, the spacecraft touched down for a second time on asteroid 162173 Ryugu. This time, the probe retrieved a sample from a crater it excavated with its impactor.

Japanese Rovers are Now on the Surface of an Asteroid, Sending Back Amazing Pictures
In December of 2014, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched the Hayabusa2 mission. As the second spacecraft to bear this name, Hayabusa2 was deployed by JAXA to conduct a sample-return mission with an asteroid. By studying samples of the near-Earth asteroid 162173 Ryugu, scientists hope to shed new light on the history of the early Solar System
The spacecraft arrived in orbit around Ryugu in July of 2018, where it will spend a total of a year and a half surveying the asteroid before returning to Earth. On September 23rd, the satellite deployed its onboard MINERVA-II rovers onto the surface of Ryugu. According to the latest updates from JAXA, both rovers are in good condition and have recently sent back photographs and a video of the asteroid's surface.

Hayabusa 2 to Flyby the Earth Tomorrow
A space-faring friend pays our fair planet a visit this week on the morning of December 3rd, as the Japanese Space Agency's Hayabusa 2 spacecraft passes the Earth.
The Flyby
Rick Baldridge on the SeeSat-L message board notes that Hayabusa-2 will pass 9,520 kilometers from the Earth's center or 3,142 kilometers/1,885 miles from the Earth's surface at 10:08 UT/5:08 AM EST on Thursday, December 3rd, passing from north-to-south above latitude 18.7 north, longitude 189.8 east just southwest of the Hawaiian Islands.
Unfortunately, the sighting opportunities for Hayabusa-2 aren't stellar: even at its closest, the 1.5 meter-sized spacecraft is about nine times more distant than the International Space Station and satellites in low Earth orbit. To compound the challenge, Hayabusa-2 passes into the Earth's shadow from 9:58 UT to 10:19 UT.

Still, skilled observers with large telescopes and sophisticated tracking rigs based along the Pacific Rim of North America might just catch sight of Hayabusa-2 as it speeds by. The JPL Horizons ephemeris generator is a great resource to create a customized positional chart in right ascension and declination for spacecraft for your given location, including Hayabusa-2.

Hayabusa-2 won't crack 20 degrees elevation for observers along the U.S. West Coast, putting it down in the atmospheric murk of additional air mass low to the horizon. This also tends to knock the brightness of objects down a magnitude or so… estimates place Hayabusa-2 at around magnitude +13 shortly before entering the Earth's shadow. That's pretty faint, but still, there are some dedicated observers with amazing rigs out there, and it's quite possible someone could nab it. Hawaii-based observers should have the best shot at it, though again, it'll be in the Earth's shadow at its very closest…
Amateur radio satellite trackers are also on the hunt for the carrier-wave signal of the inbound Hayabusa-2 mission. You can also virtually fly along with the spacecraft until December 5th: (H/T @ImAstroNix):

Probably the best eye-candy images will come from the spacecraft itself: already, Hayabusa-2 has already snapped some great images of the Earth-Moon pair using its ONC-T optical navigation camera during its inbound leg.

Other notable missions used Earth flybys en route to their final destinations, including Cassini in 1999, and Juno in 2013. Cassini's return caused a bit of a stir as it has a plutonium-powered RTG aboard, though Earth and its inhabitants were never in danger. A nuclear RTG actually reentered during the return of Apollo 13, with no release of radioactive material. Meant for the ALSEP science package on the surface of the Moon, it was deposited on the reentry of the Lunar Module over the Marinas Trench in the South Pacific. And no, Hayabusa-2 carries no radioactive material, and in any event, it's missing the Earth by about a quarter of its girth.
The successor to the Hayabusa ('Peregrine Falcon' in Japanese) mission which carried out a historic asteroid sample return from 25143 Itokawa in 2010, Hayabusa-2 launched atop an H-IIA rocket from Tanegashima, Japan exactly a year ago tomorrow on a six year mission to asteroid 162173 Ryugu. This week's Earth flyby will boost the spacecraft an additional 1.6 kilometers per second to an outbound velocity towards its target of 31.9 kilometers per second post-flyby.

Like its predecessor, Hayabusa-2 is a sample return mission. Unlike the original Hayabusa, however, Hayabusa-2 is more ambitious, also carrying the MASCOT (Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout) lander and an explosive seven kilogram impactor. Hayabusa-2 will deploy a secondary camera in orbit to watch the detonation and will briefly touch down at the impact site to collect material.
If all goes as planned, Hayabusa-2 will return to Earth in late 2020.
NASA has its own future asteroid sample return mission planned, named OSIRIS-REx. This mission will launch in September of next year to rendezvous with asteroid 101955 Bennu in September 2019 and return to Earth in September 2023.

We're entering the golden age of asteroid exploration, for sure. And this all comes about as the U.S. authorized asteroid mining just last week (or at least, as stated, 'asteroid utilization') under the controversial U.S. Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act. But the original Hayabusa mission brought back mere micro-meter-sized dust grains, highlighting just how difficult asteroid mining is using present technology…
Perhaps, for now, its more cost effective to simply wait for the asteroids to come to us as meteorites and just scoop 'em up. We'll be keeping an eye out over the next few days for images of Hayabusa-2 as it speeds by, and more postcards of the Earth-Moon system from the spacecraft as it heads towards its 2018 rendezvous with destiny.

Japan Successfully Launches Hayabusa 2 Asteroid Sample Return Mission
Japan successfully launched their Hayabusa-2 sample return mission to asteroid 1999 JU3, and JAXA reports the spacecraft is on course and in excellent shape, with its solar panels deployed. The H-IIA F26 rocket carrying the craft blasted off from the Tanegashima Space Center in southwest Japan at 1:22:04 p.m. local time on Dec 3, 2014 (04:22 UTC) , and about two hours later, the spacecraft separated from the rocket and entered its initial planned trajectory.
Hayabusa 2 has been communicating with JAXA mission control as it starts off on its journey to land on an asteroid in 2018 and retrieve rock and dust samples to be returned to Earth in late 2020.
The first Hayabusa spacecraft completed a successful — albeit nail-biting — mission to the asteroid Itokawa, returning samples to Earth in 2010 after first reaching the asteroid in 2005. The mission almost failed as the spacecraft was plagued by technical problems and it wasn't certain if the mechanism used to capture the samples actually worked. Ultimately, after a circuitous and troubled-filled return trip home, the canister containing microscopic rock samples made a soft landing in Australia, the first time that samples from an asteroid had been brought back to Earth for study.
Hayabusa 2's target, Asteroid 1999 JU3 is approximately 914 meters (3,000 feet) in diameter, a little larger than Itokawa, and is roughly spherical in shape, while Itokawa had an oblong shape. 1999 JU3 has a rotation period of approximately 7.6 hours.

— Ron Baalke (@RonBaalke) December 3, 2014
To avoid a repetition of the glitches experienced by the first Hayabusa spacecraft, JAXA made several changes. Hayabusa 2 has an updated ion propulsion engine as well as improved guidance and navigation systems, new antennas and a new altitude control system.
Hayabusa 2 has a mini rover called Minerva 2, and for Hayabusa 2's sample-collecting activities, a slowly descending impactor will be used, detonating upon contact with the surface instead of the high-speed projectile used by the first Hayabusa.
This video explains the Hayabusa 2 mission and how it differs from the first Hayabusa spacecraft:
JAXA's Hayabusa website will provide current updates to the mission.
Watch Asteroids Whiz by the Earth-Moon System This Week as First Steps Toward Asteroid Exploration Leave the Launch Pad
It's a dangerous universe out there, for a budding young space-faring species.
Killer comets, planet sterilizing gamma ray bursts, and death rocks from above are all potential hazards that an adolescent civilization has to watch out for.
This week offers two close shaves, as newly discovered Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) 2014 WC201 and 2014 WX202 pass by the Earth-Moon system.
The passage of 2014 WC201 is coming right up tonight, as the 27-metre space rock passes about 570,000 kilometres from the Earth. That's 1.4 times farther than the distance from the Earth to the Moon.

And the good news is, the Virtual Telescope Project will be bringing the passage of 2014 WC201 live tonight starting at 23:00 Universal Time/6:00 PM EST.
Shining at an absolute magnitude of +26, 2014 WC201 will be visible as a +13 apparent magnitude "star" at closest approach at 4:51 UT (December 2nd)/11:51 PM EST (December 1st) moving through the constellation Ursa Major. This puts it within range of a large backyard telescope, though the 80% illuminated waxing gibbous Moon will definitely be a mitigating factor for observation.
The JPL Horizons ephemerides generator is an excellent place to start for crafting accurate coordinates for the asteroid for your location.

At an estimated 27 metres/81 feet in size, 2014 WC201 will no doubt draw "house-sized" or "building-sized" comparisons in the press. Larger than an F-15 jet fighter, asteroids such as WC201 cry out for some fresh new descriptive comparisons. Perhaps, as we near a "Star Wars year" in 2015, we could refer to 2014 WC201 as X-wing sized?
Another Apollo NEO also makes a close pass by the Earth this week, as 6-metre 2014 WX202 passes 400,000 kilometres (about the same average distance as the Earth to the Moon) from us at 19:56 UT/2:56 PM EST on December 7th. Though closer than WC201, WX202 is much smaller and won't be a good target for backyard scopes. Gianluca Masi over at the Virtual Telescope Project also notes that WX202 will also be a difficult target due to the nearly Full Moon later this week.

The last Full Moon of 2014 occurs on December 6th at 6:26 AM EST/11:26 Universal Time.
2014 WX202 has also generated some interest in the minor planet community due to its low velocity approach relative to the Earth. This, coupled with its Earth-like orbit, is suggestive of something that may have escaped the Earth-Moon system. Could WX202 be returning space junk or lunar ejecta? It's happened before, as old Apollo hardware and boosters from China's Chang'e missions have been initially identified as Near Earth Asteroids.
The Earth also occasionally hosts a temporary "quasi-moon," as last occurred in 2006 with the capture of RH120. 2014 WX202 makes a series of more distant passes in the 2030s, and perhaps it will make the short list of near Earth asteroids for humans to explore in the coming decades.
And speaking of which, humanity is making two steps in this direction this week, with two high profile space launches.
First up is the launch of JAXA's Hayabusa 2 from the Tanegashima Space Center on December 3rd at 4:22 UT/11:22 PM EST. The follow up to the Hayabusa asteroid sample return mission, Hayabusa 2 will rendezvous with asteroid 1999 JU3 in 2018 and return samples to Earth in late 2020. The vidcast for the launch of Hayabusa 2 goes live at 3:00 UT/10:00 PM EST on Tuesday, December 2nd.
And the next mission paving the way towards first boot prints on an asteroid is the launch of a Delta 4 Heavy rocket with EFT-1 from Cape Canaveral this Thursday morning on December 4th near sunrise at 7:05 AM EST/12:05 UT. EFT-1 is uncrewed, and will test key technologies including reentry on its two orbit flight. Expect to see crewed missions of Orion to begin around 2020, with a mission to an Earth crossing asteroid sometime in the decade after that.

And there are some decent prospects to catch sight of EFT-1 on its first pass prior to its orbit raising burn over the Atlantic. Assuming EFT-1 lifts off at the beginning of its launch window, western Australia may see a good dusk pass 55 minutes after liftoff, and the southwestern U.S. may see a visible pass at dawn about 95 minutes after EFT-1 leaves the pad.

We'll be tracking these prospects as the mission evolves on launch day via Twitter, and NASA TV will carry the launch live starting at 4:30 AM EST/9:30 UT.
The Orion capsule will come in hot on reentry at a blistering 32,000 kilometres per hour over four hours after liftoff in a reentry reminiscent of the early Apollo era.
Of course, if an asteroid the size of WC201 was on a collision course with the Earth it could spell a very bad day, at least in local terms. For comparison, the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor was estimated to be 18 metres in size, and the 1908 Tunguska impactor was estimated to be 60 metres across. And about 50,000 years ago, a 50 metre in diameter space rock came blazing in over the ponderosa pine trees near what would one day be the city of Flagstaff, Arizona to create the 1,200 metre diameter Barringer Meteor Crater you can visit today.

All the more reason to study hazardous space rocks and the technology needed to reach one in the event that we one day need to move one out of the way!
Hayabusa 2 Mission Approved by Japanese Government
In 2010, the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa completed an exciting although nail-biting mission to the asteroid Itokawa, successfully returning samples to Earth after first reaching the asteroid in 2005; the mission almost failed, with the spacecraft plagued by technical problems. The canister containing the microscopic rock samples made a soft landing in Australia, the first time that samples from an asteroid had been brought back to Earth for study.
Now, the Japanese government has approved a follow-up mission, Hayabusa 2. This time the probe is scheduled to be launched in 2014 and rendezvous with the asteroid known as 1999 JU3 in mid-2018. Samples would again be taken and returned to Earth in late 2020.
1999 JU3 is approximately 914 metres (3,000 feet) in diameter, a little larger than Itokawa, and is roughly spherical in shape, whereas Itokawa was much more oblong.
As is common for any space agency, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is working with tight budgets and deadlines to make this next mission happen. There is a possibility of a back-up launch window in 2015, but if that deadline is also not met, the mission will have to wait another decade to launch.

One of the main problems with Hayabusa was the failure of the sampling mechanism during the "landing" (actually more of a brief contact with the surface with the sample capturing device) to retrieve the samples for delivery back to Earth. Only a small amount of material made it into the sample capsule, but which was fortunate and ultimately made the mission a limited success. The microscopic grains were confirmed to have primarily come from Itokawa itself and are still being studied today.
To avoid a repetition of the glitches experienced by Hayabusa, some fundamental changes needed to be made.
This next spacecraft will use an updated ion propulsion engine, the same propulsion system used by Hayabusa, as well as improved guidance and navigation systems, new antennas and a new altitude control system.
For Hayabusa 2's sample-collecting activities, a slowly descending impactor will be used, detonating upon contact with the surface, instead of the high-speed projectile used by Hayabusa. Perhaps not quite as dramatic, but hopefully more likely to succeed. Like its predecessor, the main objective of the mission is to collect as much surface material as possible for delivery back home.
Hopefully Hayabusa 2 will not be hampered by the same problems as Hayabusa; if JAXA can achieve this, it will be exciting to have samples returned from a second asteroid as well, which can only help to further our understanding of the history and formation of the solar system, and by extrapolation, even other solar systems as well.

The Last Days of The Boot Pub
words :: Feet Banks
*This story originally appeared in UpDown Magazine in March 2006*
It's quarter past ten at night in the Boot Pub and onstage the girl with the rainbow scarf just slid her panties down to her knees. A roar of applause rips through the capacity crowd of high-fivin' white guys. Understandable, considering five minutes ago Karé, the rainbow scarf girl, was fully clothed and sipping a drink at the back of the room before suddenly being hauled into the spotlights by two pixie-like hype girls in garter belts and push-up bras. It's amateur night at the "Boot Ballet", an evening of craned necks and slack jaws with a $500 top prize going to whoever has the (figurative) balls to get on stage and shake what their mommas gave them.
Karé? is it you? DAVE BARNES ILLUSTRATIONS
"It was liberating," Karé later tells me, smiling as two more young local girls, best-best friends no doubt, jump on stage and start to grope each other. Screams, cheers and the odd obscenity float like ships on a sea of testosterone. It's the Boot, after all, an indestructible bomb-shelter of a room built specifically for savage nights like this. I order another drink and sneak a bit closer to the stage. Amateur night at the Boot, any night actually, is the sort of thing you have to enjoy while you can because come the end of April, this 39-year-old piece of Whistler history will close it's doors for the last time.
Originally built in the late 60's as a sort of mini-resort, The Ski Boot Motel was Whistler's first true ski bum establishment. For $5/night people could stay for weeks at time, skiing every day, eating in the restaurant, and drinking the evenings away in the beer parlour, a neighbourhood pub-like room populated almost solely by construction workers and other surly types.
"I've been here since 1993," says Boot manager Paul McNaught. "I started off doing the renovations, then ran the restaurant for a few years and I've been managing ever since." The renovations included ripping up the beer-soaked red shag carpet, building the bar and transforming the room into a sturdy wooden venue with great acoustics. "We built it with the idea that we wanted a primo sound quality," says McNaught, 'and to be able to hold a wild crowd."

Over the years that 'primo' sound quality has lured an incredible number of bands to the Boot. From Whistler- locals like She Stole My Beer to punk legends like the Dayglow Abortions and DOA to Canadian superstars like the Tragically Hip or the Rheostatics.
Except for the Boot Ballet, a 2-or-3-times-a-week dose of B and C circuit strippers, live music has been the Boot's bread and butter and what separates it from the rest of Whistler's bars and clubs. Punk Night, showcasing new bands every Sunday, is perhaps the best example of The Boot's consistency and commitment to live music in Whistler.
All in a good night's work for Queen of Punk night Lindsay Shedden (left). Phil Saunders isn't having any fun either. SAUNDERS PHOTO.
"The Boot enjoys a distinct advantage for bringing in bands from out of town," says Punk Night organizer Lindsay Shedden. "They can offer food, drinks, and a place to stay (at the attached Shoestring lodge) all under one roof. It's affordable for them" This advantage, and word that the venue is so enjoyable to perform in, means that McNaught and Shedden are able to bring in high quality acts at lower cost. It's been a winning formula for over thirteen years.
And what's going happen to Whistler's longest running independently owned structure after the Boot closes for good? It's being torn down. The six-acre parcel of land is now owned by Vancouver's Cressey development. They plan on building 36 employee housing units and 41 market townhomes on the property. "Obviously, you wish you could just leave things as they are," says David Evans, Cressey Development Manager. "I mean, I've had some great nights there just like everyone else, but we have a requirement to build employee housing and when this deal went through there weren't really any other land options available to us." Evans adds that he's working closely with the Whistler Museum and Archives to secure the Boot's much-deserved place in Whistler's history. "We're planning a big community-based event when it all shuts down at the end of April," he adds. "With family-oriented stuff outside during the day and then bring in some bands at night."
With the closure looming, will Whistler's live music scene suffer? "Oh yeah," says Shedden. We'll notice an obvious void but there's hope. It's not impossible to bring in good acts and venues like the GLC and Garfs are already stepping up. There are lots of empty stages in Whistler and plenty of people who don't want the live music scene to end, so hopefully they'll pick up the slack."
Is print media going the way of The Boot?
Skip forward to 2:30 pm on a pretty slack afternoon in the Boot. The girl in rainbow scarf is just a memory, a fading glimpse of another epic night in a room that's seen its share of epic nights. Today, a cluster of local tradesmen shoot pool and drink draft beer while Janine, bartender here for over a decade, deals with a somewhat distinctive crisis. One customer's dog, a ratty schnauser-looking thing, has just taken a leak on the floor. "I can't believe it," the man says apologetically. 'He's supposed to be housetrained."
"There's a mop somewhere in that back room," Janine says nonchalantly, "Knock yourself out." She then offers me a cheap drink and some free popcorn, before elaborating on what makes the Boot a rare and special watering hole in a town full of places to get drunk. "It's so personal in here," she says. "It's like a living room; people are comfortable. You can always see the band, sometimes even meet the band. And every day is so different here, that's why I'm not bored, even after 15 years."
As I scan the numerous photos of past performers/musicians lining the Boot's pockmarked stucco walls I notice two pictures hung behind the bar. They're shots of deceased Whistler legends Seppo Makinen and John 'Rabbit' Hare, both amazing fellows and true examples of what made the Boot, and Whistler, a unique and magical place back in the old days. Janine notices my gaze and a sad look flashes briefly across her usually cheerful face. "I hate that we're closing," she says. " I thought I was going to be on the wall with Rabbit and Seppo. Now where am I gonna die?"
Her sadness, I'm sure, is shared by many long time Whistler residents but the truth is she'll never die, and neither will The Boot, because both are Whistler legends. And legends, as everyone knows, live forever.
This article was probably among the first four or five freelance gigs I ever got. For sure i was writing my movie column but this point but this was a few months before we started Mountain Life Magazine so i would have been pretty green. UpDown was a sweet mag, sadly they only lasted a year or two.
The Boot is sorely missed in Whistler, for an example of what basically any punk night felt like there, check this vid from 2001

Research projects with industries involve one or more researchers working full-time under the direct supervision of ICIQ group leaders. This collaboration is set by signing a contract stating the basic conditions such as cost, researchers involved and any particular characteristics regarding the research project. In 2013 we had 19 research contracts with different industries and as you can see in the FTE chart, the number of full-time researchers dedicated to research projects with industries approximates 25, which represents close to 10% of ICIQ's research staff.
The Business Development Unit is the department in charge of negotiating and managing the research contracts with industry.

The smart phone has changed our behavior, sometimes for the better because we are now able to connect and engage with many more people than ever before, but sometimes for the worse in that we may have become over-reliant on the connectivity with the outside world that these devices afford us. Either way, there is no going back for the majority of users who can almost instantaneously connect with hundreds if not thousands of people through the various social media and other applications available on such devices as well as through the humble phone call.
However, according to researchers at McMaster University in Ontario our dependence brings anxiety. The loss of one's smart phone not only represents an immediate disconnection from one's online contacts but is also a potential privacy and security risk should the lost phone wend its way into the hands of a malicious third party. In an article the August 2014 issue of the International Journal of Mobile Communications, Zhiling Tu, Yufei Yuan and Norm Archer outline the possible coping mechanisms that might be needed following loss or theft and the security problems that the user might face. The researchers point out that the same anxieties apply equally to lost or stolen laptops, tablet computers, and other digital devices.
A release from the publisher notes that the convenience of mobility, wireless communication, and the information processing power of smart phones and other portable digital devices has led to more and more people carrying with them valuable data assets wherever they go. These assets may include personal and business contacts, private pictures and videos, meeting and lecture notes and the like, banking details, utility statements, company spreadsheets, and much more. All such assets are potentially sensitive to abuse by third parties.
The researchers add that because many companies now have a BYOD (bring-your-own-device) policy rather than dispensing a standard corporate device to all employees, there are additional security issues that arise. The value of lost hardware might be negligible when compared to the loss of sensitive or proprietary data. Perhaps more troubling is that while there are various countermeasures that can be used to cope with mobile device loss and theft, users are either unaware of their existence or unwilling to use them. The cost and convenience of security countermeasures also need to be weighed.
The team has investigated how general mobile phone users might not cope well with the threat of losing their device. The researchers found that a few active and security-conscious users were aware of countermeasures but many users were either not aware of "time bomb" data deletion settings and remote device locks and such or were simply in denial of the risk of losing their phone. The findings suggest that an awareness campaign might be needed to encourage general users to make their devices more secure and that organizations must enforce certain features on their employees and members to protect sensitive data that might be on those devices beyond their direct control.


Key was put into ignition by a child, and child was able to put vehicle into reverse without having to press on brakes, causing vehicle to roll back, and almost hit another child. Contacted dealer, and dealer was not willing to do anything.
Vehicle jumped out of park into nuetral while ignition was off, and rolled backards down a hill 150 feet. Vehicle has been at GMC dealer for a month, and problem still has not been resolved.
My car was in park, not running, keys in the ignition. 5yr old son was in vehicle, trying to turn radio on car shifted out of park with out the brake fully depressed. Owners manual states to shift out of park brake must be fully depressed. Son was in between front bucket seats, unable to reach brake when left arm hit shift bar into neutral. Thanks.


In 2005, the Oregon Legislature passed a bill that made pseudoephedrine products like Sudafed available by prescription only. There was a good reason for it back then, as pseudoephedrine was a key ingredient in the methamphetamine that was being produced in home labs and frequently resulted in explosions. This new prescription law created long lines, delays and people who would even travel out of state just to get their simple cold medicine.
However, times have changed since the passage of House Bill 2485. And now, Rep. Bill Post (R-Keizer) has introduced legislation to delete the requirement that pseudoephedrine be classified as a Schedule III controlled substance.
HB 2303 is a top legislative priority for Post, who said that constituents are excited about the idea. It passed out of the House Health Care Committee April 2 on a 9-1 vote with some amendments.
If HB 2303 gets past the House, it would then head to the Senate. No fewer than 13 of its current members voted for HB 2485 in 2005. Assuming that it passes that chamber, it would head to Gov. Kate Brown for her signature. Brown served in the Senate in 2005 and was one of the legislators who sponsored HB 2485.
Technological advances have made it easier to track those key ingredients used in meth, Post said, and pharmaceutical companies voluntarily provide it to 35 states free of charge.
"Basically, the bill would make Oregon join that group," he said.
Aside from that, the meth produced in superlabs and smuggled through the nation's porous southern border is cheaper and more pure than that the homemade variety that inspired the passage HB 2485 nearly a decade and a half ago.
