Anna Nicole Smith's lawyer-manager Howard K. Stern was also her best friend and lover and would never have been part of an alleged plot to furnish her with harmful drugs, a defense lawyer said Thursday.
During a dramatic closing argument, attorney Steve Sadow, who represents Stern, said his client was closer to Smith than anyone.

U.S. & World
"Here'sa guy whose been with her since 2001," Sadow told jurors. "Witnesses have said he cherished her, loved her. She was the love of his life."
Stern and Drs. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to provide excessive prescription drugs to an addict and other charges. They are not charged in Smith's 2007 accidental overdose death in Florida.

Sadow was the last of the three defense lawyers to deliver a closing argument. He warned the panel to be wary of prosecutors trying to win at all cost rather than tell jurors the truth.
"It's time, ladies and gentlemen, for someone to stand up and say it's not right," he said.
Prosecutors maintain Smith was an addict, and the defendants were feeding her addiction rather than providing prescription drugs for any legitimate medical purpose. Stern, Kapoor and Eroshevich catered to Smith's whims so they could remain a part of her celebrity circle, and Smith faked her pain to get drugs, according to prosecutors.

Sadow depicted Smith as a strong-willed person who made her own decisions when it came to her medication.
He also accused prosecutors of trashing her reputation and trivializing the pain she experienced when her son died of a drug overdose after her daughter was born.

On Wednesday, attorneys for Eroshevich and Kapoor accused prosecutors of trying to prejudice the case with photos of Eroshevich naked in a bathtub with Smith, and other photos of Kapoor nuzzling Smith's neck.
Eroshevich's attorney Brad Brunon said the psychiatrist was doing everything she could to help Smith.
"And what is her reward? She's dragged through this, her name is ruined, and she's publicly humiliated," he said.
Kapoor's attorney Ellyn Garafalo said Kapoor's diary showed he knew he might have crossed the line by socializing with his patient.
"He never saw Anna Nicole Smith in a social setting again," the lawyer said.
She said his medical judgment was never affected by Smith's celebrity, and his instinct was always to help her overcome the pain that plagued her.

Nice to see objective facts used. I really think one guy gave a perfect analogy of big law saying it is like trying to get drafted into the NBA it can happen, but the odds are pretty miniscule. I am sure even Harvard Grads have a hard time getting into it. So you might as well stay at a tier 4 and get scholarship money so you can have as little debt as possible that is my opinion at least.
Why Big Law? I can settle for a decent mid-size firm or a boutique. I would have 170-175K debt if I graduate from Camden, and 140-145K debt if I graduate from my current school (I have loans from my previous education). After Camden, my payments will be close to 1000$, after my current school, about 750$. With extended payment plan, I would need to make min of 70K after Camden or min of 60K after my current school. I am not sure if there is such a huge difference in terms of costs at this point. If I get an interesting position in the government, which is a possibility due to my background, I can choose to deffer my payments or get my debt eliminated after 10 years of service. Any thoughts?
Thank you for all the answers. Big Law is not for everyone. I already used to work in law firms before and there are pros and cons to every type of firm. 140K by itself sounds pretty bad. However, 140K debt after not well known T4, or 170-175K ater decent T2 in one of major legal markets, that is the issue. About government - I have credentials to get hired. I could even get hired for certain jobs in gov that pay 60-80K to start because of that. However, those are not necessarily attorney positions and I have 2 more years to think about it. I agree that gov job is not about money - it is about contacts, experience and benefits. Big Law will make you do research for 2-3 years before you talk to client. Government attorneys do more staff way sooner. It is never easy to get a decent job, that's why I posted a question about opinioins on: What would you do in my situation? By the way, this board is generally more pessimistic than another board, where I posted similar question. Just an observation.
IMO, you will still have to place within the top 10-15% at Rutgers to practice in the markets you specified. The question then becomes: "How likely is it that I will place within the top 10-15% of Rutgers?"Here are some statistics for you to consider:There were 18 summer associates from Rutgers this past year in Philadelphia Big/Midlaw. (see http://philadelphia.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/stories/2009/06/01/story6.html)Starting salary for these associates would probably be around ~$110K. # of Rutgers Graduates = ~220 grads (assuming about 15% of each class transfer / drop / defer / etc.)60% of the summer associates get offers. (Via NALP: Ballard Spahr offered 14/18, Blank Rome offered 7/14, Cozen offered 14/18, Dechert offered 14/22, Drinker Biddle offered 13/19, Duane Morris offered 8/15, Morgan Lewis offered 8/23, Pepper Hamilton offered 7/14, Reed Smith offered 3/5, Saul Ewing offered 3/9) = 91/157 = ~58% offer rateSo, 10.8 (18*.60) students from Rutgers get Biglaw jobs in Philadelphia. That means you'll have a 10.8 / 220 (4.9 %) chance at landing Philadelphia Biglaw from Rutgers. Let's now assume that Rutgers feeds the same number of summer associates to two more major markets. This means you'll have about a 14.7% chance at landing Biglaw in a major market from Rutgers. Are those chances worth it? Can you place within the top 15% at Rutgers?

The new powerful Highlight/Shadow and Clarity features in Lightroom 4 will enable much more information to be extracted from both the Highlights and the Shadows of your images than ever before. The most significant change over and above the exciting new algorithms is that both areas will be worked on independently, a shadow enhancement will not affect highlights and visa versa. The results that are achievable will help you extend the natural dynamic range of the scene and create more compelling images, and will provide an easy way to reach your vision. The two sliders also have a negative as well as a positive value range providing balanced creativity. This image was taken on manual exposure with the Fuji X-Pro1 on an overcast day, the type of day that results in an image with a heavy shadow area and subdued highlights, however knowing that the Fuji has a huge dynamic range would make it possible to recover both areas of the scene.
As you can see in the histogram, there is a little clipping in the shadows but not in the highlights, we just need to extract the full dynamic range, extract the shadow detail and recover any highlights that exist.
The enhanced highlight and shadow sliders are shown below and are used to extract the content from both areas of the scene.
Focusing on the highlights (remembering that we are most likely going to expose for the highlights in the camera). Sliding the highlight slider all of the way to the left will enable the highlights to be extracted.
In the shadows (notice that the original photograph is not showing any shadow information (except in the histogram). If we move the shadow slider all the way to the right, Lightroom 4 is able to extract additional information and recover some of the clipping from the shadow area, and not affect the highlights.
The other control that has been enhanced in Lightroom 4 is the Clarity slider. This slider will control the amount of midtone contrast and can be found under the Presence section of the Basic panel. Moving the clarity slider to the left will reduce the midtone contrast and can create a smooth finish/dreamy effect (shown below, this can be effective on female portrait shots and can smooth out skin), to the right, will increase mid tone contrast and create a mock sharpened image.
Experimenting with the three sliders and by reducing and increasing the values in each may provide the creative effect required, however, Lightroom 4 is also able to enhance the image further.
The Gradient filter and the Local Adjustment brush have been significantly enhanced to include all settings that are available in the Development Module's Basic panel. i.e. The temperature slider can now be used with the Gradient filter and/or Local Adjustment brush, in this scene to control the temperate of the sky.
Selecting the Gradient filter and dragging it over the image, will reflect the changes in the Gradient panel. In this example the temperature has been reduced to create a blue cast to the sky, the tint slider can also be changed. Notice that the top section of the Eiffel tower has also been affected by the change in temperature, this is easy to revert by using the Local Adjustment brush to override the Gradient filter changes. The Local Adjustment Brush is very effective in changing the settings at a localised level, i.e. in this scene, revert the temperature to before the blue sky was modified with the Gradient filter. Also, the colour of the metal structure of the Eiffel tower can be changed by applying effects using the Local Adjustment brush to paint where appropriate. i.e. to change the structure to be yellow (as shown in the image below).
N.B. When painting on this particular image we don't want to affect the sky, setting the "Auto Mask" to on for the brush (will protect the sky (that has already been modified) due to the difference in tone, see image below). Painting is much easier with a Wacom tablet (like the Intuos 5) as Lightroom is pressure sensitive with the Wacom and can be naturally brushed, compared to a mouse or something like an Apple trackpad that is either on or off, where the control of pressure is managed by the panel below and doesn't feel as natural.
Once the Local Adjustment brush has been selected, click on the image and place an anchor pin. This pin will be a place holder for the mask and effectively apply the changes that are specified in the Local Adjustment brush panel.
The visibility of the pin(s) is controlled by the "Show Edit Pins" selector, the mask that is applied is visible by turning on the Show Selected Mask Overlay, or by pressing the "O" key whilst in the Local Adjustment brush tool (shown in red below). Initially the brush will paint on the mask.
"Auto Mask" is clearly working by detecting the edges on the tower and the tower base. Once the painting has been applied, the adjustment sliders have been modified, and the mask is not visible you can see the adjustments that have been made. If the mask is too much and needs to be re-shaped or altered, pressing the ALT key will turn the tool into a minus sign and will remove the mask by painting out brushed areas.
The final image with Highlight/Shadow/Clarity and the Local Adjustment brush adjustments applied can be seen below.
You can see how in just a few steps we have completely redefined the image and created something new and compelling.

Good teams find ways to win against a lesser opponent even when they may not be on top of their game.
So the Blast, which came into Friday's game against last-place Wichita undefeated and averaging more than 15-plus points per game, had that task when its usually precise offense was mostly absent.
Two goals a minute apart at the end of the third quarter and start of the fourth proved the answer as the Blast shook the pesky, defensive-minded Wings, 10-6, in front of an announced 6,624 at 1st Mariner Arena.
The Blast (8-0) maintained its firm hold of first place in the Major Indoor Soccer League, while the Wings fell to 1-5 on the season. Adauto Neto and Machel Millwood led the offense with a goal and assist each, while goalkeeper William Vanzela only needed to make six saves as the Blast outshot the Wings by a 31-15 margin.
"We created a lot of chances — and in the seven games prior we were finishing a lot of those opportunities — but tonight [Wichita goalkeeper] Sanaldo played really well and they were blocking a lot of shots," Blast coach Danny Kelly said. "By not finishing the chances, it kept the game closer than it should have been. ... Overall, second half we were much better."
Good teams also tend to get the fortunate breaks, and the Blast got a pivotal one in the final seconds of the third quarter.
With the game tied at 4 and 12 seconds on the clock, a Wings defender's attempted clear along the boards hit off the referee and into the stands, giving the Blast a corner kick. After the Blast called a timeout, forward Tony Donatelli one-timed a pass from Neto past Sanaldo to give the home team its fist lead, 6-4, with eight seconds left in the quarter.
With 33 seconds gone by in the fourth, Millwood neatly redirected a shot in front by Mike Deasel to give the Blast an 8-4 lead.
"I think the goal [at the end of the third] changed the momentum of the game and then we got another goal right away from Millwood and that pretty much provided the win right there," Neto said. "We had a week off and we started a little slow, which is normal when you have a layoff like that. But the main thing was we stayed focused, did the things we were supposed to do defensively and at the end we got the result."
Wichita got a power-play goal from Freddy Moojen with 3:47 remaining to provide a suspenseful ending. But the Blast held strong on defense and secured the win when Neto scored a power-play goal with 27 seconds left.
The Wings didn't make things easy, particularly in a first half that ended with them ahead, 4-2.
The Blast had the ball more in the first 30 minutes and outshot the Wings by a 15-4 count, but struggled putting away chances.
Wichita midfielder Alex Moseley provided the only offense in the first quarter with a fine individual effort. He broke free from his own end and made a long run down the left side before unleashing a left-footed shot that beat Vanzela to the far post for a 2-0 lead with 9:56 left.
After nine unsuccessful shots, the Blast finally broke though to tie the game at 2 on a goal from Lucio Gonzaga with 7:40 to play in the second quarter. Forward Lucas Roque won a tough battle in the right corner and he needed two tries to send the ball in front for Gonzaga, who promptly found the top-left corner.
The Wings, with their only shot on goal in the second quarter, regained the lead a little more than a minute later when Miguel Fereer blasted a shot from the left side over Vanzela for the 4-2 advatage.
The Blast next play host to the Missouri Comets on Nov. 15 at 7:35 p.m.

Street Fighter Alpha 2/M. Bison
Bison, leader of the criminal organization known as Shadaloo, hears of a fighter named Ryu who defeated his new henchman, Sagat. Bison decides to recruit Ryu and begins the search for him. In the meantime, he is confronted by Rose, a mysterious woman who wields power that is in many ways similar to his own. Rose wins the ensuing battle but only to find out that Bison has left the battlefield completely unscathed and has possibly threw the fight. Reasons for this are disclosed during the events of SFA3.
Afterwards, Bison encounters Chun Li. They have a brief duel in which Bison toys around with the girl. He flees and lets Chun Li know that he murdered her father.
After this, Bison is finally able to track down Ryu. At first, Bison attempts to persuade Ryu to join him by promising that he would make him the greatest fighter ever. Ryu mocks him and the two engage in combat. Bison wins and takes Ryu's body to his scientists for a brainwashing via exposure to Psycho Power. It is debatable whether this ending is canon or not, however, the exact events which it depicts did take place during SFA3.

The Basics
Try and keep the opponent away with your safe pokes and fireball. Try and think of the character as Dictator with a DeeJay style fireball. Powerful in the right situations but can be unsafe if you don't pay attention. MP is your go to button for all kinds of situations. You can kind of mash out counter hits but don't go overboard. Standing MK is a good poke at far range. The hitbox is very low so it is not an anti-air. Also very good for poking shotos that try and move around the screen unsafely with tatsus. As far as anti-airs go you have 3 options. Stand HP, Crouch HP, and Stand HK. All of these have their own situtations. For example Crouching HP is faster than Standing HP even though they have similar hitboxes. While Stand HK has a different range/hitbox all together. Mess around with the character in training mode and get a good feel for your normals. Most of your play time will be blocking and using pokes.
BnB Combos
1) Jump HK > Stand/Crouch MP (2 hits, 26 dmg, 14 stun)
Good 2 hit BnB off a safe jump in. Jump HK is pretty safe and the follow up is easy. Leaves you at +20 to +22 frame advantage. Can be followed up with fireball for free if you have enough charge time, but it will not combo.
2) Jump HK > Stand HK (3 hits, 30 dmg, 16 stun)
Another good and simple BnB off a safe jump in. Better damage than combo 1 but leaves you at an unsafe range to get clipped by a custom combo. However if they do not have meter you are outside of sweep range for most characters.
Advanced Strategy
Bison's Crossup
Advanced Combos
1) Jump HK > Stand HK (1 hit) > Scissor Kicks (4 hits, 38 dmg, 16 stun)
This will end up being your go to big damage combo. The charge time you are given from the jump in is VERY strict. Practice this one in training mode first to get the timing down. The input from the 1 hit of stand HK to scissor kicks is later than you think. It does the same amount of stun as Basic Combo #2 however 8 points of damage can be the difference between winning and losing.
2) Crouch MP > Super Move
Level 1 Psycho Crusher (4 hits, 42 dmg, 6 stun)
Level 2 Psycho Crusher (5 hits, 58 dmg, 6 stun)
Level 3 Psycho Crusher (7 hits, 79 dmg, 6 stun)
Level 1 Scissor Kicks (5 hits, 51 dmg, 10 stun)
Level 2 Scissor Kicks (7 hits, 56 dmg, 9 stun)
Level 3 Scissor Kicks (9 hits, 74 dmg, 10 stun)
Easier to pull off than it looks at first glance. Usually happens the most with shotos who whiff a DP up close. Basically anytime you know you have a charge and can land a close/meaty crouch MP. My personal favorite is to hit the strong and enter the joystick input. Then negative edge for the level 1 Psycho Crusher. If you mess up the input or don't have charge you should be safe.
3)Jump LK (Cross up) > Stand HK (3 hits, 35 dmg, 14 stun)
Harder combo to pull off but can catch people off guard. The follow is easy but getting the spacing for the cross up can be tough. I recommend doing this if you notice that you have a soft corner.

Lawmakers want to raise state speed limit to 70 MPH
SHA studying 55 mph speed limit on ICC
State legislators have suddenly developed a need for speed, but not in terms of getting their work done. There's bipartisan support to raise the speed limit in Maryland to 70 mph.
"So what we're planning here, even though it's counterintuitive, to increase safety by increasing the speed," said Delegate Neil Parrott, R-Washington County.
The legislation singles out the ICC and Interstate 68 in western Maryland. However, it would allow an increase in the speed limit on roads deemed appropriate by state highway officials.
The round-trip toll on the ICC is $8. Lawmakers contend for that price drivers should be able to go faster.
"Raising the speed limit would increase the value of riding the ICC," said Delegate Aruna Miller, D-Montgomery County.
In response to the 1973 oil crisis, prompting gas rationing in the U.S., Congress imposed a nationwide 55 mph speed limit to save energy. After it ended, the limit remained in place for safety reasons. In 1995, Congress lifted the restriction and gave states the authority to impose its own limits, and 35 states have done that some with limits of 70 and above.
"It's time the state does takes a look at this issue and bring us in line and into the modern world of transportation with the states that surround us," said Sen. George Edwards, R-Western Maryland.
AAA is not taking a position on the issue. In the past, Maryland State Police opposed raising the limit to 65 during the Glendenning administration. Based in part on the number of speed-camera citations coupled with an unscientific observation of motorists, there appears to be a high level of public support to raise the speed limit.
"I think that we have a number of roads that having a 70 mph speed limit is perfectly fine and would actually move traffic better and safer than the speed limits we have at the present time," said Sen. Ronald Young, D-Frederick.
The State Highway Administration is currently studying the 55 mph limit on the ICC and is expected to make its findings known at some time this session. Keep in mind, the legislation gives the SHA the authority to raise the speed limit to 70 mph on roads it deems appropriate.

Six months after it was visited by unspeakable tragedy, Aurora, Colo., celebrated its recovery on Thursday night. The Cinemark movie theater that on July 20 was the site of a mass shooting that left 12 dead and 70 injured reopened with a memorial ceremony; the event was was attended by the state's Governor John Hickenlooper, the town's mayor, survivors of the carnage and the families and friends of those who lost their lives. "Some wanted the theater reopened, some didn't," Hickenlooper said, according to the Denver Post. "Certainly there's no right or wrong way of healing. ... For many here tonight, though, this is a part of healing." The shooting -- allegedly orchestrated by James Holmes -- ripped through the cineplex's Theater 9 just before a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises. Cinemark asked the town's citizens what they thought should be done with the facility; it has been massively remodeled, and now Theater 9 is called Auditorium I, with a new screen and "extreme digital" projection. Despite the community involvement, some victims and families were angered by the decision to reopen the theater, as well as a perceived lack of compassion from the theater chain. They publicly rejected invitations to attend the event earlier in January, and in September, some sued over Cinemark's lack of security. "I cannot allow the shooter in any way, shape or form to win," Aurora's mayor, Steve Hogan, said at the event. "We will not let this tragedy define us." Holmes, the alleged shooter, will stand trial for more than 160 counts of murder and attempted murder. His arraignment was recently pushed back to March 12.

Build a Snack Food Stadium For Your Super Bowl Party
Holy Taco got much holier after creating the best snack food stadium ever with a field of guacamole, Slim Jim goal posts and a Twinkie-buttressed stadium. Is that our favorite shaggy-haired Steelers safety Troy Polamalu down there? Oh, nope. Just a Vienna sausage in a cheddar helmet. For security purposes, a bacon wall will keep the throngs of screaming fans—in this case tortilla chips—from falling onto the field. And hey, what do you know. A 20-ounce sausage Goodyear blimp just chilling (thanks, Photoshop!).
Total calories: 24,375.

Total deliciousness: 1 Billion trillion dude. One billion trillion.
Sounds pretty priceless.

Conroe police fatally shoot suspected Wal-Mart shoplifter
An off-duty Conroe police sergeant fatally shot a suspected shoplifter after the man choked the officer during a fight in a wooded area outside a Wal-Mart late Wednesday night.
The incident happened around 10:30 p.m. near the store at 1407 N. Loop 336 W, according to the Conroe Police Department.
Police identified the suspect as Russell Rios, 19. He died at the scene.
The sergeant, whose name has not been released, had minor injuries. He was treated a hospital and later released.
Police said the incident began when store employees called authorities to report they were trying to detain a suspected shoplifter. An off-duty Conroe police sergeant at the scene saw the suspect running away and the workers chasing him. The workers told the sergeant what was happening and he followed them.
The suspect dashed into a wooded area. The sergeant ran after him. At some point, police said, the sergeant and Rios began fighting and Rios started choking the officer. Police said the sergeant shot Rios.
Police did not release information about what Rios was suspected of taking from the store.
As is customary in officer-involved shootings, the sergeant will placed on leave as the cases is being investigated.

According to United Nations, the outside world may never know how many Tamils were killed in the recently concluded military action against the LTTE in Sri Lanka. Some estimates put the death toll into millions including innocent civilians. And the world, especially India, hardly seems to be bothered.
Contrast it with Israeli military actions. Even if one Palestinian civilian, in fact even a militant, is killed, the whole world, especially the Islamic world, is up in arms. Violent protests by Muslims have taken place even inside India over small Israeli military actions against Palestinians.
Recently there was news that Taliban was expelling Sikh civilians out of Swat Valley in Pakistan. And those Sikhs, who were unable to leave the area, were levied jaziya tax in lieu of their basic survival. Protests took place inside India and Indian government took the matter with Pakistani officials. Same happened when a shootout at a Vienna Gurudwara took place last week.
See the link? Followers of a religion taking up cudgels on behalf of their co-religionists in other parts of the world. So why don't Hindus speak up for their co-religionists? Historically, there have been two reasons – we have been apologetic of calling ourselves Hindus and we have been divided along caste and regional lines.
But of late, both of these vices of Hindu society are on wane. If politicians and pseudo-intellectuals drop their agenda, the caste system may well be a thing of past, and slowly Hindus are proudly proclaiming their religious identity just like Swami Vivekananda did a century ago.
That's why we now see Hindus speaking up when their beliefs are mocked or their rights trampled upon. Even Indian government has taken up issues with foreign nations on religious rights of Hindus.
So what went wrong with the Tamil Crisis in Sri Lanka?
Because it was always promoted as a 'Tamil' crisis instead of a 'Hindu' crisis even by the sympathizers of Tamils. That's where the battle was lost.
In fact they have always erred on this front. Under the influence of an imaginary Aryan Invasion Theory, they have created a philosophy and ideology that has alienated them from the rest of Indians. Their leaders have ridiculously abused Hindu Gods and Goddesses in name of Tamil pride (the most recent example was the comments by Karunanidhi on Lord Rama over the issue of Sethu Samudram project). A section of Tamils have wrongly placed their self-respect on hatred for Hinduism.
A more pragmatic approach would have been to shed this hatred for Hinduism in favor of a united Hindu society of India that included self-respecting Tamils. This would have linked every Hindus' emotions to the 'Tamil' crisis of Sri Lanka and it would have been seen as a 'War on Hindus'. All the Hindu groups, including Sangh Parivar, would have lobbied to save the Hindus (Tamils) in Sri Lanka.
It seems that the master strategist and founder of LTTE Prabhakaran had such an idea in mind – in his interviews he had spoken up about how he was inspired by the heroes of Mahabharata and other Hindu characters. He even praised Swami Vivekananda for the original self-respect movement. Clearly he wanted every Hindu to emotionally connect to the Tamil's plight in Sri Lanka, and gather pan-Indian support for Tamils.
But his sympathizers and supporters in Tamilnadu were still leaving in fool's paradise, where they thought that hatred for Hindus was the only way to preserve Tamil identity. The Hindus of rest of India heard abuses for Lord Rama from Karunanidhi. Prabhakaran was killed by Karunanidhi then and there.
It's a warning for all Hindus in each part of the world. It's time we shed imaginary ideologies that were propagated to demoralize and divide Hindus. It's also the time we shed caste and regional bias and unite, otherwise we'd keep on getting killed and eliminated just like millions were wiped out from Sri Lanka.

Latest Tagetik Release Enables CFOs to Engage More Business Decision-Makers and Maintain Tight Control over Financial Information
Collaborative PowerPoint, easy-to-use dashboards and self-service visualization highlight new capabilities to Tagetik's Financial Performance Platform
Tagetik, a visionary leader in global performance management software solutions, today announced enhancements to its corporate performance management (CPM) solution that allow CFOs to extend the reach of financial information across the enterprise with more confidence and less risk.
A recent Gartner report* showed that surveyed users of CPM solutions rated functional capabilities, ease of use, and reporting capabilities as the most important selection criteria for CPM solutions. Tagetik's latest release targets these important criteria with new capabilities that make consumption and analysis of financial information simple for business users while maintaining control, visibility and auditability.
With this release Finance can now produce dynamically linked board books, budget books and management reports in Word and PowerPoint from one trusted, vetted, and controlled source of information in the cloud. Finance and non-finance contributors, like investor relations and corporate communications, can collaborate in the same native Word and PowerPoint documents that are dynamically linked to a single source of trusted financial information.
Numbers and narratives are updated once and reflected automatically in all impacted internal and external reports shaving days off the disclosure and reporting process and virtually eliminating the risk of inconsistency. This gives the CFO the confidence and peace of mind to loosen the reigns on critical financial information and get everyone focused on the future faster.
The standard user experience now includes dashboarding and pivoting from any report making analysis simple for infrequent users. For more advanced analysis, Tagetik Analytics now includes self-service visualization powered by Qlik. The end-result is an intuitive environment where Finance and the rest of the business collaborate on the future rather than debating the past. And they can do it all in the cloud.
"Quarter and Year-end have always been a challenge for the CFO, the finance team, and investor relations that need to communicate the results in multiple forms to multiple stakeholders, both internal and external, with speed and accuracy," said Marco Pierallini, co-CEO, Tagetik. "Our latest product release is designed to shorten Finance processes, increase confidence and accountability, and stimulate collaboration between the Office of the CFO and the rest of the business."
"In today's business environment the CFO has to be completely confident in the numbers reported to the CEO, the board, and outside investors; and also must be an active champion of the business strategy. Tagetik enables CFOs to fill both of these roles with confidence," said Co-CEO Manuel Vellutini. "Our latest product release is further evidence that at Tagetik – We get Finance. You get Results."

PRAIRIE VILLAGE — A suburban Kansas City teen landed herself in trouble by tweeting a few "joking" words about Gov. Sam Brownback during a Statehouse fieldtrip.
The Kansas City Star reported it all started Monday during Brownback's greeting to young people who were in Topeka with the Youth in Government program.
Emma Sullivan, 18, thumbed from the back of the crowd, "Just made mean comments at gov. brownback and told him he sucked, in person #heblowsalot." She actually made no such comment and described the tweet as "joking around."
But she soon learned that Brownback's office monitors social media for postings containing the governor's name. Brownback's director of communication wasn't amused.
"That wasn't respectful," responded Sherriene Jones-Sontag. "In order to really have a constructive dialogue, there has to be mutual respect."
The tweet was passed along to the Youth in Government program. The resulting scolding she received at school lasted nearly an hour. She said she was told the "not so nice" comments had embarrassed her school and the district and that "damage control" with the governor's office was the next step.
The principal even suggested talking points to hit in the apology letter she was ordered to write.
Shawnee Mission East principal Karl R. Krawitz called the situation a disciplinary action.
"It is a school issue, a private issue, not a public matter," he said.
Sullivan, who plans to study psychology next year at the University of Arkansas, isn't balking at writing the letter of apology. But she isn't repentant either.
"I don't regret sending the tweet," she said. "It was harmless. It's not like I was really fired up about anything he said."
She said she wasn't a fan of Brownback before, and his staff's response to her tweet isn't making her or her friends converts.
"We all are liberal, and we are opposed to a lot of his views," she says. "I'm just an 18-year-old girl who knows what I believe, and I know what he believes, and we disagree. That is not going to change."
One of the reasons for the Topeka visit was to give students a chance to draft and debate a mock bill. But Sullivan took something altogether different from the experience: "Twitter has more impact than I thought."
"But I'm sure the governor gets a lot of hate mail on Twitter and Facebook, so I don't know why his office would pick on an 18-year-old high school girl just horsing around with her friends. I was shocked. I'm still shocked."

Two killers registered as felons after their escape
ORLANDO, Fla. — Two escaped murderers in Florida registered as felons at the Orange County jail after authorities say they were mistakenly released from prison based on forged court documents.
According to criminal history records, Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker registered as felons three days after they were freed. Both had been serving life sentences, but forged documents duped prison officials and the court system.
Jail spokesman Allen Moore says the men filled out paperwork and were fingerprinted at the jail, which is not far from the sheriff's office.
The sheriff's office, state law enforcement and prison officials are now searching for the men.
Jenkins was released from a Franklin County prison on Sept. 27 and Walker was released Oct. 8.

Delta blues is one of the earliest styles of blues music. Created by black musicians who lived and worked on the farms in north Mississippi, these men and women drew on influences from church songs, prison songs, African rhythms, and early American folk traditions to fashion a new form of music. Unbeknownst to them, the music created in this relatively small area that lies between the Mississippi and Yazoo Rivers would spread the world over and shape musical history.
In this lesson Tom Feldmann takes you to where it all began, Dockery Plantation, dubbed "The Birthplace of the Blues" and highlights the earliest recording artists that gave Dockery its legendary status: Charlie Patton, Son House, Willie Brown and Tommy Johnson.
You will learn a few songs by each artist, giving you a taste of the individuals themselves as well as the genre as a whole. The majority of the lesson is done out of standard tuning, focusing on E, C and A positions. From standard tuning you move to Drop D tuning for Tommy Johnson's Big Road Blues and then to Open G (Spanish tuning) for Willie Brown's Future Blues.
Of course no lesson on Delta blues guitar would be complete without a look at bottleneck slide and this lesson is no exception with Feldmann closing with two trailblazers of bottleneck slide, Son House and Charlie Patton.
A detailed tab/music booklet is included as a PDF file on the DVD. In addition the original recordings of all the tunes are included.
Titles include: STANDARD TUNING: M&O Blues, Stone Pony Blues, 34 Blues, Morning Prayer Blues, A Down The Staff, Lonesome Home Blues DROP D TUNING: Big Road Blues SPANISH TUNING: Future Blues, Levee Camp Moan, It Won't Be Long

Review: In days of futures past, Will Dockery's plantation was the world headquarters of Delta blues, a proving ground off in the bottomlands of Sunflower County where invention in Mississippi music making birthed the genre as the 1910s aged into the 1920s and 1930s. It was where the party got started. The resident kingpin was none other than Charlie Patton, the original Goodtime Charlie whose walloping guitar and matching crushed-glass croak were as much a part of shake-the-shack Saturday nights as the liquor, dice and knife fights. His wingman was the string-snapper Willie Brown-- yeah, that same "you can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown" of "Cross Road Blues" fame. But a fallen Baptist preacher with a wicked slide addiction by the name of Son House also began hanging around, along with Tommy Johnson, a fleet-fingered connoisseur of Sterno, rubbing alcohol and all other beverages even remotely intoxicating. A motley crew of guitar revolutionaries, but the four founding fathers nonetheless. Tom Feldmann, a country-blues fanatic who devours F chords for breakfast and can bottleneck up a blizzard in his sleep, calmly lays out the blueprints to ten of their classics here. Pried apart, piece by piece, are age-old anthems as deathless as Patton's "Stone Pony Blues" and Brown's "Future Blues," Tommy's "Big Road Blues" and Son's "Levee Camp Moan." But Feldmann dips yet deeper into the plantation playbook, exhuming gems like the betrayal slide piece "It Won't Be Long." He even enlists House, Houston Stackhouse and Joe Willie Wilkins to teach a bit too via bonus archival footage. – Dennis Rozanski/Blues Rag

The posters around campus announcing No Teachers! No Grades! may seem like a cruel joke, wishful thinking or both during finals week. But in reality what they're advertising is an exhibition titled No Teachers! No Grades!: Art Center on Seventh Street, 1936-1946, curated by Art Center Archives' Robert Dirig and on view in the Library until December 17.
Students able to pull themselves away from their final projects for a few minutes will be rewarded with a rare look at items from the first chapter of Art Center's history, when it was located on Seventh Street in Los Angeles' Westlake District. Objects on view include: a 1941 catalogue for Art Center Center School, as it was then called; a number of photographs taken at the Seventh Street campus (including the image above); founder Edward A. "Tink" Adams' business card, circa 1936; and a Caltech flyer announcing aircraft production illustration courses, which were offered at Art Center during World War II when the College ceased normal operations to assist in the war effort.
As for the exhibition title, the text on display in the Library explains, "The early catalogs boast, 'No teachers! No grades!' signifying that Art Center is not a typical school. That proclamation was not to say that it was effortless for students. From many accounts students were thrown out of the school if their work did not meet the Art Center standard."
So much for the "good ole days," right?

Seventh Circuit Court: Chicago Cops Can't Use 'Annoyance' As Reason To Stifle Free Speech
from the 'disorderly'-free-speech? deptAs long as there have been cops, there have been crowds. And as long as there have been crowds, there has been the mantra, "Move along, nothing to see here." Dispersing crowds has always been part of police work. But in recent years, the crowd dispersion process has broadened to include anyone whose presence isn't wanted. This overreach has led to the catchall charge "disorderly conduct" being used to cover all sorts of behavior, much of which isn't so much "disorderly" as it is simply "annoying" to the law enforcement officers in question.
This "stop irritating me" via handcuffs has become so common it has its own term: "contempt of cop." Abusing the intent of the law to shut someone up (or confiscate their recording equipment) has become so common that entire blogs and websites are able to fill page after page with accounts of these actions.
Fortunately, the judicial system has pushed back. A decision handed down recently by the 7th Circuit Court goes even further than simply declaring a certain situation as being unconstitutional. Judge Joel Flaum's decision actually invalidates a section of Chicago's municipal code.
First, the background:
Buddy Bell participated in a January 2008 protest against the Iraq War in downtown Chicago. While President George W. Bush was at a luncheon nearby, Bell held a banner that said: "End the war and occupation TROOPS HOME NOW."
After Chicago police arrested a protester who entered the street carrying a banner, Bell and two other protesters also stepped into the street and approached the police squad car, chanting, "Hell no, we won't go. Set him free." When the activists refused to get back on the sidewalk, the police arrested them for disorderly conduct.
In particular, the police charged Bell under a Chicago municipal code that makes it a crime to disobey a police officer's instruction to leave the scene when other individuals are engaging in nearby acts of disorderly conduct that "are likely to cause substantial harm or serious inconvenience, annoyance or alarm."Unfortunately, this sort of catch-all charge is far from unusual. Bell's filing of a federal complaint against the city of Chicago isn't that unusual, either. Many cities are finding themselves paying out thousands of dollars to settle lawsuits stemming from abuse of citizens by law enforcement. Bell challenged this particular part of Chicago's municipal code as unconstitutional. District Judge John Darrah originally dismissed Bell's claim for "lack of standing," but the Seventh Circuit Court reversed the dismissal.
Judge Flaum went further, invalidating that particular section of the Chicago Municipal Code after finding that it "substantially inhibits protected speech and is not amenable to clear and uniform enforcement."
"To the extent that [the ordinance] authorizes dispersal when an assembly creates or is threatened by 'substantial harm,' it does not improperly infringe upon protected speech," Judge Joel Flaum wrote for a three-member panel. "We cannot say the same, however, for authorizing dispersal on the basis of 'serious inconvenience, annoyance or alarm.'"Flaum does more than shut down a purposely vague ordinance. He also throws in a dig at the circumstances that called this ordinance into question ("if performed by three or more individuals"). He also calls attention to the other terms used to justify charges being brought under this code, noting that "alarm" is still dangerously non-specific, but saves the real criticism for "annoyance."
Unlike the code's provision for responding to nuisances, the ordinance "does not specify what inconveniences, if performed by three or more individuals, may trigger an order to disperse," the 35-page decision states.
"Nor does it clarify that, whatever the inconvenience at issue, dispersal must be necessary to confront the violation," Flaum wrote. "To this end, the ordinance lacks the necessary specificity and tailoring to pass constitutional muster, and we must conclude that the ordinance substantially impacts speech."
As for "annoy," Flaum noted that the ordinary meaning, "which is 'to trouble, to vex, to impede, to incommode, to provoke, to harass or to irritate,' compels this reading: not every annoying act gives rise to imminent danger or nuisance."Chicago's stance is that this ordinance is in place to ensure "safety." But safety for whom? Certainly not the public. And does law enforcement really need to be kept safe from "inconvenience, annoyance and alarm?" The Seventh Circuit Court says it doesn't, not if the cost of the safety is the Constitutional rights of citizens.
"Avoiding annoyance is never a proper basis on which to curtail protected speech," he wrote.
"We cannot conceive of an annoying behavior, however annoying it may be, that could constitutionally draw as a remedy dispersing others engaged in protected speech," Flaum added.

I remember a movie I watched many years ago. It may be from 80s or early 90s.
What I remember (may be incorrect):
In the movie, a young boy and a girl comes from space in a flying saucer. They have some special powers like telekinesis. With their minds, they throw things around. Maybe they were fighting each other, I cannot remember.
The name of the movie was the boy's name, but it was also an abbreviation, like G.E.O.R.G.E but another name. On the cover of the VHS, the boy was seen inside a capsule.

"Thanks to incredibly realistic characters, this smart, bittersweet tale brilliantly captures what it means to be a mom, wife and friend." —Family Circle
"I loved this bittersweet novel, which manages to be both a compelling mystery and a wise meditation on friendship, marriage and motherhood in an age of great anxiety. Bernier will have you thinking about her characters long after you've turned the final page." —J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of Commencement and Maine
"A smart, poignant novel about the bittersweet choices women make and the secrets they keep. This is one of those rare novels that's so real you forget it's written; I literally carried it around with me, and I missed the characters when I was done." —Jenna Blum, New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and The Stormchasers
"Nichole Bernier writes as though she were born knowing how to do so. She understands the fragility of the human heart and also the enduring strength of even imperfect relationships. The Unfinished Work of Elizabeth D. is a gripping book with a delicate, tender core. You will read on to unravel a mystery but also, to be moved, page after page." —Robin Black, author of If I Loved You, I Would Tell You This
"Written with exquisite grace, depth, and honesty, The Unfinished Work of Elizabeth D. explores decisions driven by motherhood and marriage. I was transfixed as Kate read the journals she'd inherited from Elizabeth, peeling back the layers of her friend's life, and in the process grappling with her own choices and terrors. Women have secret lives—sometimes hidden in the corners of our minds, sometimes in dreams unrealized. One mark of friendship is when and whether these nightmares and ambitions can be revealed. This riveting novel fiercely captures this fulcrum of the public and private lives of American mothers." —Randy Susan Meyers, international bestselling author of The Murderer's Daughters
"Debut novelist Bernier's thoughtful observations on friendship, identity, motherhood, work, and marriage wrap around the mystery of Elizabeth, whose journal writing enlivens the book and gives readers much to think about. This literary novel should be a favorite of book groups and have broad appeal beyond." —Library Journal
"Moments of beauty and depth of spirit will appeal to readers interested in secrets revealed." —Publishers Weekly
"This exquisite and honest portrait of friendship and motherhood unfurls a suspenseful plot whose jaw-dropping surprise ending is one that readers will be sure to discuss long after the book has been finished…Bernier successfully explores how women manage to balance so much in their everyday life and the complicated emotions (guilt, frustration, fear) that go along with being a working mother…The Unfinished Work of Elizabeth D. is an important read for anyone who dares to ask just how well we really know our friends and neighbors, and what those discoveries mean about us." —BookPage

CNN host hastily exploited incident before details were known
Paul Joseph Watson
January 22, 2013
CNN host Piers Morgan embarrassingly exploited what soon turned out to be a gang-related shootout to push his agenda for gun control, completely embellishing an altercation at Lone Star College near Houston.
As soon as news emerged that there had been a shooting, Morgan, who previously admitted that he was "standing on the graves of dead Sandy Hook children," in order to provide a platform for his anti-gun rhetoric, went into overdrive on Twitter, screeching that there were "horrific scenes" on the campus and that there were, "Bodies on ground, others being stretchered away," portraying the scene as a massacre despite news footage showing only one or two injured people.
Despite there being scant information about the nature of the shooting at the time, Morgan persisted with his fearmongering, using it to take a sideswipe at advocates of armed officials in schools by tweeting,"Lone Star College has its own armed police officers."
The CNN host even took the opportunity to lambast Rick Perry, by remarking, "Rick Perry, the Governor of Texas, where this latest shooting happened, wants MORE guns in schools."
As soon as it began to emerge that the campus shooting was not a planned attack and in fact was likely to be an altercation between two gangbangers, Morgan dropped the issue.
At time of press, the four people involved in the shooting sustained injuries but no deaths were reported.
"Witnesses said they saw two men get into an argument in the college's library, and both pulled out guns and began firing on each other, NBC affiliate KPRC Local 2 reported. Several law enforcement officials said the incident may have been gang-related," NBC News reported.
The incident clearly does not fit with the recent narrative of mass shootings being linked with semi-automatic weapons, but the facts didn't stop Morgan from rushing to virtually celebrate the shooting in what amounted to a pathetic attempt to bolster his anti-second amendment crusade.

Most applications today handle data that is deeply associative, i.e. structured as graphs (networks). The most obvious example of this is social networking sites, but even tagging systems, content management systems and wikis deal with inherently hierarchical or graph-shaped data.
This turns out to be a problem because it's difficult to deal with recursive data structures in traditional relational databases. In essence, each traversal along a link in a graph is a join, and joins are known to be very expensive. Furthermore, with user-driven content, it is difficult to pre-conceive the exact schema of the data that will be handled. Unfortunately, the relational model requires upfront schemas and makes it difficult to fit this more dynamic and ad-hoc data.
A graph database uses nodes, relationships between nodes and key-value properties instead of tables to represent information. This model is typically substantially faster for associative data sets and uses a schema-less, bottoms-up model that is ideal for capturing ad-hoc and rapidly changing data.
This session will introduce an open source, high-performance, transactional and disk-based graph database called "Neo4j" (http://neo4j.org), which frequently outperforms relational backends with >1000x for many increasingly important use cases.
Founder of the Neo4j graph database project and CEO of Neo Technology. Programmer by passion the first 15 years on this planet and by passion & profession the remaining 15. First free software project at age 16. Now mainly focused on spreading the word about the powers of graphs and preaching the demise of tabular solutions everywhere.

Veterans of the United States military may be eligible to receive up to a $3,000 advance in education benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The offer is available to those who meet certain criteria under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
The bill provides financial support for education and housing to those with at least 90 days of aggregate service on or after September 11, 2001, or to individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. A soldier must have received an honorable discharge to be eligible, and the amount of support for which he or she may qualify is dependent on one's place of residence and the type of degree being pursued.
"Before this, veterans received one payment per month and it had to be applied to education," said Donna M. Simms, Lindenwood Academic Services Representative and VA Certifying Official. "The new bill also allows for things such as housing and book stipends books to offset other college costs. It also makes it more feasible to attend universities like Lindenwood, which are private and may initially appear to be more expensive to attend."
To assist veterans, Lindenwood participates in the Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program (Yellow Ribbon Program), which reimburses veterans the difference of more expensive tuition rates. Lindenwood's Yellow Ribbon Grant contributes up to 50 percent of those expenses and VA matches the university's contribution. Amounts are based on the length of individual service.
For more information about either the Post- 9/11 GI Bill or the Yellow Ribbon Program, please contact Simms at (636) 949-4105 or visit www.va.gov.
