My experience with California DUI cases
In over 40 years of practicing law, I have represented tens of thousands of individuals who were caught up in the criminal justice system. I have defended individuals accused of many different crimes, including DUI and DUI related offenses. I have represented individuals from all occupations and walks of life. Even judges, lawyers, and police officers have turned to me for assistance.
I am able to satisfactorily resolve most cases by dismissal or negotiated disposition. However, when a dismissal or appropriate plea offer is not available, I do not flinch from taking a case to trial. I have tried hundreds of cases, obtaining not guilty verdicts for clients charged with drunk driving, homicide, rape, robbery, burglary, and many other crimes.
I am admitted to practice in all California state and federal courts. I graduated from San Francisco Law School and studied advanced Criminal Law at the University of Southern California.
Attorney fees
After I have had a chance to meet with you and learn the facts of your case, I will quote you a fee. You will know the exact amount of the fee in advance.
No matter how complex your case turns out to be, I will not increase the fee. This fee will cover all legal work in your case, including motions and trial.
Most attorneys charge an initial retainer to which they later add additional charges for court appearances and trial. You never know if you can afford the fee and if you can't pay it, your attorney may withdraw.
Highly experienced representation for your Santa Maria DUI case
I will personally handle your case. I won't hand it off to a new lawyer. If you are not already represented by a Santa Maria DUI defense attorney, and you would like me to evaluate your case, please describe your case using the form to the right. Or you may contact me at:

Long-Awaited, Global Trial of Fetal Cells for Parkinson's
In two months, the first of many new Parkinson's disease (PD) patients will receive a fetal cell transplant. The transplant will mark the end of a voluntary moratorium by many Western nations after complications arose a decade ago.
This, combined with news that embryonic stem (ES) cell PD therapies may also near prime-time, made Parkinson's a big topic at the recent International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) meeting.
"Amazing success stories are coming out in the literature and starting to come toward the clinic," said Janet Rossant, outgoing ISSCR president.
The new multi-center, open-label, fetal cell TRANSEURO PD trial is enrolling 150 patients, Principle Investigator Roger Barker of the University of Cambridge told the ISSCR presser. It is sponsored by the European Union.
TRANSEURO will mimic, in key ways, specific earlier trials, Barker told Bioscience Technology via email. Those earlier trials have produced, over time, "quite remarkable sustained effects," Memorial Sloan Kettering neurologist Lorenz Studer told the conference. TRANSEURO will try to avoid less successful tactics of other earlier trials.
Voluntary Moratorium
A voluntary moratorium was placed, in many nations, on fetal cell transplants for PD in 2003, after the publication of mixed results from two double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials with fetal tissue cells. For 10 to 20 years prior, results were varied from small open label trials. But the general impression was one of success.
The placebo-controlled trials—the gold standard, in principle—shattered that image, finding too many patients may suffer from severe dyskinesias (robust shaking) post-treatment.
The point of the trials had been to replace dopamine neurons lost in PD with neural cells derived from fetal substantia nigra grafts and with this give them smoother motor control.
Worldwide, scientists and doctors stepped back to reassess.
"Transformed Lives"
In recent years, there has been good news about those earlier trials. It was reported in The Lancet last year trials from Saskachewan/Halifax, Canada and Lund, Sweden produced a number of patients doing well, years out. Younger, healthier patients were among those.
That review noted earlier variable results may have been partly due to grafts containing too many of the wrong cell types, in too many stages, or transplanted in a way that produced dopamine "hot spots."
This January, a JAMA Neurology paper found that two Lund patients (from the UK, grafted in Lund, followed in the UK) receiving grafts 15 and 18 years ago were doing stunningly well. They were no longer on medication. Said a JAMA perspectives piece: "Among the cohort of 18 patients in the Lund study…there were substantial differences in short-term motor outcomes between patients, and long-term follow-up data could be obtained on only a few."
But in two patients, said the primary paper: "Motor improvements gained gradually over the first postoperative years were sustained up to 18 years post-transplantation, while both patients have discontinued, and remained free of any, pharmacological dopaminergic therapy…Dopaminergic cell transplantation can offer very long-term symptomatic relief."
The perspectives piece, by Northwestern University neurologists Dimitri Krainc and Danny Bega, called this "important and unexpected."
Agreed Barker: "If you follow these patients over time—remember these are cell-based therapies, not drugs, so they work after years not weeks—you can see dramatic results....We have in that study two patients transplanted 20 odd years ago who have almost no features of Parkinson's today. They are on no medications. The transplants have transformed their lives. Thirty years into their illness, they have a motor-score less what they presented to neurologists in the late 1980s. So when it works, it works extremely well. It just doesn't work consistently."
TRANSEURO will mimic the Lund trial in key ways, Barker told Bioscience. The cells will be prepped "essentially the way they were in Lund." They will be "early differentiated dopamine cells, derived from primary fetal brain without manipulation. (And) the technique for delivery ensures they are evenly distributed across the striatum."
The idea behind early differentiated cells: they are mature enough to have stopped proliferating; immature enough to be sensitive to new niches. They have not yet grown axons. Transplanted with axons, "they die," said Barker via email.
Ivar Mendez, the doctor behind the other trial hailed in The Lancet (the Saskachewan/Halifax trial), notes that a June 2014 Cell Reports study shows that all five of the patients who died in his trial-- of causes unrelated to Parkinson's--saw their new cells last to the end, up to 14 years. The new neurons were healthy, with normal mitochondria and robust expression of dopamine transporters. "This is very relevant to the TRANSEURO trial," he told Bioscience in an email.
ES Cells: the Future?
Going forward, TRANSEURO will work with the G ("global") Force. Comprised of transplantation experts in Japan, Europe, and North America, G Force will establish standards to avoid variability. The group met for the first time in May.
But, Barker told the ISSCR: "Human ES cells are the likely future source" for transplants, noting Studer makes neurons from ES cells "that really look like substantia nigra dopamine cells."
ES cells come from spare in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinic embryos which IVF couples store. They are the earliest cells, proliferative and pliable, able to create all body cells. A few ES cells from an IVF clinic creates endless quantities of neurons. Fetal tissue cells of the age used for standard grafts transplants, by contrast, are weeks along, more differentiated, set in their ways, less proliferative. Fetal grafts are seen as more controversial than ES cells, coming from abortion clinics.
(Another, intermediate option is highly purified, dissociated fetal progenitor cells, which like ES cells can generate endless neurons. NeuralStem and Stem Cells Inc. conduct FDA-approved trials with those cells for other disorders.)
When Studer reached the ISSCR podium, he confirmed his human ES cells may be in trial by "early 2017."
Studer said for years he could relieve PD symptoms in mice with dopamine neurons made from mouse ES cells. But human neurons wouldn't engraft. Then in 2011, his team discovered, by changing differentiation techniques, they could "rather quickly" create human dopamine neurons that "survived long-term, and caused functional recovery in mouse, rat, and primate models." After a month in primates, his team saw "quite promising outgrowth into rhesus monkey brain."
"Magic" Cell Numbers
Studer's team also found they could easily scale-up production of ES-derived cells to the "magic" PD transplant number of "100,000 surviving dopamine neurons per patient." His team independently found the best maturation stage for transplant is "young neuron."
Studer said ES cells enable transplant of purer concentrations of dopamine neurons than fetal grafts. This may matter. Fetal grafts can contain serotonergic neurons that may prompt dyskinesias. The team minimizes contamination by directing cells to a dopamine fate, checking for dopamine markers. Types of dopamine cells are sorted by behavior, as they mimic developmental behavior.
Many primate studies confirm long-term survival and engraftment, Studer said. "Once in the brain, it is quite remarkable how closely those cells mimic the normal developmental structure of a dopamine neuron." They integrate well. Viewing MRI's of dopamine neurons from fetal and ES cells, "pathologists could not distinguish the morphology." He adds enzymes maximizing axon growth. "We have the right cells, and the right number for translation," he said.
Like Studer, Barker plans, with Lund, to move on to trials with human ES cells.
Two more notable transplant trials planned involve the first use of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells for PD. One, helmed by Jun Takahashi of the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application, may launch in two years. The University of Saskatchewan's Ivar Mendez plans another.

College Hockey:Vallorani's three-point night guides Massachusetts-Lowell past Rensselaer
STORRS, Conn. — If Massachusetts-Lowell had any worries about opening the second half against Rensselaer, they were put to rest quickly.
After all, for an RPI team that won just three games in the season's first two months, beating No. 17 Lowell Thursday in the opener of the UConn Hockey Classic at the Freitas Ice Forum would be the perfect start to the second half.
But with their last game just under three weeks ago, UMass-Lowell was more concerned with getting themselves back in shape and less with their upset-minded opponent.
That formula worked well, as the Riverhawks scored three first period goals en route a 7-2 win over the Engineers and a spot in the championship game Friday.
"We had two-and-a-half days of practice and that wasn't long enough to worry about who we were playing," Lowell head coach Norm Bazin said.
Despite being down 3-0 after one period, RPI had a chance to get back in it when Ryan Haggerty stuffed home a C.J. Lee rebound on the power play at 4:35 in the second. Following that, RPI's Mark McGowan was denied twice in quick succession down low by the pad of Lowell goalie Doug Carr.
The Riverhawks evaded any danger and squashed any thoughts of an RPI rally when Scott Wilson broke up the ice virtually untested and beat Scott Diebold at 5:05 to make it 4-1.
"When we got that first goal, I though we had a lot of momentum early in the second period," RPI head coach Seth Appert said. "We had four or five chances to make it 3-2. We make a critical blunder and it was 4-1."
Lowell scored 43 seconds in when an Engineers turnover led to an unopposed breakaway into the RPI zone. Joseph Pendenza kept the puck himself, shooting it through the legs of Diebold, who was left alone after an RPI defender fell down.
"I just beat him there," Pendenza said. "I knew coming down that I wanted to go five-hole, so I just got it off as quickly as possible. Coach wanted us to get off to a good start [and] I don't think he thought we were going to get a goal, but we'll take it."
"Sometimes those [early goals] are more of a curse than a comfort," Bazin said. "It's always great to score, but it's the next one that counts the most. Sometimes when you score too quickly, you think it's going to be easy."
The Engineers looked sluggish through the opening period, as Diebold made a pad save and watched as the puck sat untouched by his defense, allowing UML's Derek Arnold to come crashing to the net. RPI survived that lapse, but Lowell went up 2-0 at 11:01 when William Eiserman broke up the right wing and threaded a cross-ice pass to Stephen Buco, who beat Diebold on the opposite post.
With Tyler Brickler in the box for elbowing, Lowell exploited a sloppy RPI power play to close the first period scoring. A turnover high the offensive zone led to a two-on-two rush for the Riverhawks and instead of dumping the puck, David Vallorani kept it, deked past the RPI skaters, and cut to the right post before backhanding it past Diebold at 13:38.
With three points on the night, Vallorani hit the 100-point mark for his UML career.
"Those second and third goals were disappointing because those were things that we showed on tape and talked about what Lowell likes to do," Appert said. "The like to play you one-on-one and throw some cross-ice delay plays."
Lowell capped the second period with another breakaway goal when Wilson beat Diebold at 10:50.
"We put our freshman goalie in a real tough spot tonight," Appert said.
The loss came despite a new-look lineup for RPI, one that saw the return of Matt Neal and Ryan Haggerty.
Terrence Wallin and Pendenza added third-period goals for the Riverhawks, while Zach Schroeder scored RPI's second and final goal at 16:46. Pendenza's score came on a power play at 19:50.
Carr finished with 23 saves, while Diebold had 17 for the Engineers.
The Riverhawks (11-5) will face the winner of the Army and Connecticut game tomorrow at 7:15 p.m., while RPI (3-14) will take on the loser at 4 p.m.

New Delhi, Mar 3 (TruthDive) : Jet Airways has asked permission from DGCA for six flying slots from Mumbai. Four are in the domestic sector while two are in the international sector. The application came after aviation ministry cancelled Kingfisher Airlines' international flying rights and domestic slots.
Jet wants morning flights for three slots and other three for evening but Jet did not disclose the routes. Kingfisher grounded from October had finally lost its flying slots and spaces in airports. These places were up for grabs. The suspended airline lost the flying license.
Kingfisher operated international flights to Singapore – seven flights fourteen times a week to Hong Kong, 35 times to Sri Lanka, 21 times to Thailand, 7 flights to Singapore, 14 times to Bangladesh and 7 times to Nepal. Around 25,000 seats are up for grabs per week. Interestingly, Jet has sold three slots in Heathrow airport to Etihad and taken it back on lease.
Air Asia in JV with Tata and Bhatias has applied to FIPB to lease small aircrafts for its cargo operations. For passenger traffic, it would use A 320 aircrafts. Tata Sons will invest 30 per cent and one of Bhatia's companies, Hindustan Aerosystems, 21 per cent while rest is with Air Asia. The board will have R Venkataramanan and Bharat Vasan from Tata, Fernandes and Kamarudin Bin Meranun from Air Asia and Arun Bhatia from Telestra Tradeplace.
Based in Chennai, Air Asia in the initial phase will fly on routes in South India where Air Asia already operates. Air Asia aims to provide connectivity to Tier-II and III cities; in the initial stage it aims to concentrate on places in South India where Air Asia already operates. FIPB is likely to take up application for the joint venture on March 6.

The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Washington Nationals in the 2012 National League Division Series without having to face Nats ace Stephen Strasburg.
Whatever team (or teams) face the Cardinals in this year's postseason won't be so lucky.
In a controversial decision, Washington shut down Strasburg, in his first season removed from Tommy John surgery, after 159 1/3 innings last season. He missed the end of the regular season and wasn't available for the playoffs.
The Cardinals have taken a different approach this year with young hurlers like Shelby Miller and Michael Wacha, who will be available as the Cards try to win the NL Central and play into October. The Cards limited the innings of several pitchers, but did it throughout the season instead of at the end, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
"I think you try to watch and learn, right?" manager Mike Matheny told the newspaper. "Every situation is different. But we don't want to put a kid in that tough situation where they're watching. We explained (to Wacha) where we are and what the thought process is. The league learns new things every year. Some of these young guys all over baseball are coming up and making a splash in September. How do we protect them and at the same time get the best from them?"
In the case of super prospect Wacha, the Cardinals started the year with the intention of promoting him the big leagues about Aug. 1 and set a schedule for his minor-league appearances that would allow him to be available to the Cardinals then while limiting him to 150 or so innings for the year. He ended up getting called up earlier in the year, but between the majors and minors, he's pitched just 131 1/3 innings.
"I wanted to keep everything flexible," GM John Mozeliak said. "The only downside with our strategy would be if he ended up not pitching enough this year. We thought that was a very low probability. The exercise came down to, were we willing to risk him coming up short?''
A similar approach has left fellow rookies Miller, Carlos Martinez, Trevor Rosenthal, Seth Maness, Kevin Siegrist and Tyler Lyons in a position to keep pitching.
"You don't want to sit your horses in the playoffs," Cards ace Adam Wainwright said. "Our team is enjoying (Wacha's) huge arm that he has right now. He's pitching his tail off. He deserves the chance to be pitching right now. Experience for him in this playoff race is just invaluable."

While recovering from knee surgery in 2012, David Bickford began using a new bike lane along Central Avenue each workday as part of a 5-mile trip to the light rail, which he rides to work in Tempe.
While good for his knees, the ability to bike safely has benefited his health in other ways.
"Every workday I'm guaranteed 10 miles of bike riding," Bickford said. "That has helped me rehab my knee, and it's also helped me maintain weight and eat whatever I want, mostly."
To Cynthia Melde, nutrition and physical activity manager for the Arizona Department of Health Services, it's an example of how changes as simple as a bike lane or as complex as light rail can help people make exercise part of their daily lives.
"We have to create those communities that make that healthy choice the easy choice," she said. "It's going to take a lot of redesigning the way that we grow and the way that we redevelop."
With sedentary lifestyles contributing to a national epidemic of obesity, public health officials are looking to local governments to plan communities that encourage residents to be more active. In Arizona, that has state health officials recommending that municipalities incorporate ways to promote exercise in their general plans, which by state law must be rewritten every 10 years.
Many Arizona cities' general plans reflect that residents value outdoor recreation, but experts and health advocates say just having parks, bike paths, hiking trails and soccer fields isn't enough to encourage people to be physically active every day. They say people need opportunities to be more active in daily life — for instance walking to work or school.
Will Humble, director of the Arizona Department of Health Services, said general plans can help create those opportunities.
"That's probably the most under-recognized leverage point in terms of community design, to make communities more walkable, bikable, helping people to make healthier choices," he said.
A Cronkite News Service review of general plans for the 16 Arizona cities with populations topping 50,000 found three — Tucson, Avondale and Surprise, each of which updated its plan in the past two years — that mention healthy activity in the context of daily life. A General Plan update pending in Tempe does so as well.
Avondale eyes transit options
In Avondale, where voters approved an updated General Plan in 2012, Planning Director Tracy Stevens said the city responds to a shift in residents' preferences away from homes built on large lots and toward being able to walk and bike for errands and take advantage of public transportation.
"It's really a shift in the way people are living their lives," she said. "They're interested in different types of transportation options, they like to be in the center core, they like to use light rail, biking, that type of thing."
The plan, Avondale 2035, incorporated suggestions from Maricopa County health officials to focus on community health. It provides for higher density in residential areas and emphasizes mixing land uses and making it easier for residents to use alternative forms of transportation. A stated goal: "fostering healthy and resilient individuals."
"The City Council said, 'We want Avondale to be a healthy community of choice, a community that people come to because we have walkability, community mobility and multimodal opportunities,' " Stevens said.
In Mesa, Mayor Scott Smith said his city has similar goals as it looks toward updating its General Plan by 2015.
"The automobile-oriented community is not the community of choice now," he said.
"People want the ability to walk more. People want to be connected with commercial areas more. They don't want to have to get in their car and drive four times around the block in order to get to the grocery store when they could have walked half a block to get there but they were shut off by tall fences."
Neighborhood design counts
Marc Adams, an Arizona State University assistant professor, studies the impact of health behavior, especially walking, on preventing chronic diseases. He said neighborhood design makes a difference in how much people walk regardless of whether a neighborhood is wealthy or poor.
"If you're in a low-socioeconomic-status neighborhood and you have a highly walkable neighborhood, you're more likely to walk than if you live in a low-walkable neighborhood," Adams said.
The difference between a neighborhood considered to have high walkability vs. low walkability is about 35 minutes of walking a week, he said, adding that that time translates to more than a quarter of recommended weekly physical activity.
"So that's a pretty big chunk that you're chipping away at that people don't have to go to the gym for, just by where they live," Adams said.
David Dube, a policy consultant for the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, said getting people to use transit pays health benefits. Thirty percent of adult users get their recommended 30 minutes of exercise a day simply walking or biking to or from a transit stop.
"That absolutely works," he said. "You don't need to have people going to a gym. You don't have to have exercise clubs or everything. All you have to do is get them to work."
Dube said the same holds true for children heading to and from school, adding that local governments can encourage walking and biking by providing sidewalks and creating safer ways to cross streets, among other steps. In the 1960s, 85 percent of children who lived within a mile of their schools walked or biked, compared with 15 percent today, he said.
"If you take that graph showing the rise in the number of kids getting dropped off at school or taking the bus and you show the graph in the rise of child obesity, it's no coincidence," Dube said. "It's kind of the same graph."
Arizona challenges
In many Arizona cities, however, such changes would need to be made to transportation systems and neighborhoods designed for people to get around by car. Dean Brennan, an Arizona State University instructor and former principal planner for Phoenix, said that makes for more of a challenge.
"We need to redesign streets so that the streets not only move vehicles but also they provide the opportunity for people to ride their bikes and so they provide a safe and comfortable environment for people who want to walk," he said. "And in most cases around the Valley, that's not the current situation."
Brennan said the push to make cities more accessible without using cars often comes from residents.
"From a community standpoint, there's now a greater emphasis on healthy lifestyle," he said. "There's a recognition that how we design, how we develop the physical environment, has an impact on how people live and how healthy people are."

How to Use
Product Uses
1 ? Prepare nails by gently pushing back cuticles. Clean nails with an acetone based polish remover to ensure nail is free from moisture and any natural oils.
2 ? Select the correct size Super Adhesive Tab. Place the side of the Super Adhesive Tab that best fits your cuticle shape, whether it is the curved or straight side.
3 ? Apply the Super Adhesive Tab on the natural nail starting from the cuticle. Smooth out the Super Adhesive Tab so that it is spread out evenly on the natural nail.
4 ? Select the correct size press-on nail for each finger. Peel the Protective Film off the Super Adhesive Tab. Hold the nail tip or application tab. Place nail up to, but not touching your cuticle. Apply the press-on nail from the cuticle angling at 45 degrees.
The thinner and more curved end should sit at the base of your natural nail, near to your cuticle.
This thinner edge gives a more natural look, reducing the ridge between the false nail and your natural nail. The thicker, more squared end has the size number embossed on it and this end should be at the top, free edge of your natural nail. This thicker edge is stronger for longer lasting wear.
5 ? Press down firmly on the press-on nail to activate the adhesion of the tab. Repeat for all nails.
6 ? If the press-on nails have application tabs. Remove application tabs by bending down and then up, towards the cuticle.

This past weekend was the 11th annual Lieutenant Governor's Winter Festival, which is simply one of the most fun weekends of the year. I moved to Brandon just over 10 years ago to study political science and I've noticed a large demographic change in that period of time. Brandon is booming with culture and with a festival like this, it lets people from Westman get a taste of the mosaic of cultures we have in our own community. This year there were nine pavilions to visit where you got to taste the snacks and cuisine from around the world, watch live music and dance, hear people speaking in their native tongue, and taste the popular beverages that help make each culture unique.
The Brandon Sun's own Grant Hamilton joked to me that the Festival's name should be renamed to Winbeerfest, as in Winter Beer Festival. For him and myself, it gives us a chance to sip and savour various beers and liqueurs around the planet. Most every country has their own distinctive flavour when it comes towards beer, while Canada and United States are all over the flavour map when it comes to beer as our beer history is influenced by our ancestors. If you weren't able to attend the Winbeerfest or forgot what beers you tried at the numerous pavilions, I will be giving you a bit of a run down on what I believed were the gems of this year's festival. Note: due to time constraints, I didn't get to visit every pavilion so if I missed your favourite beer from the festival, I apologize in advance.

Chesapeake asks for dismissal from Michigan case
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy Corp. has asked to be dismissed from anti-trust charges filed against it in Michigan.
The Oklahoman reports (http://bit.ly/1kdCT0g ) that the oil and natural gas producer said in a court filing that the state has now no evidence to support charges it conspired with Canadian oil company Encana Corp. to hold down lease prices in the state.
The companies each face two misdemeanor counts of antitrust violations. Both have denied wrongdoing.
The U.S. Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission last month ended their investigation into the companies' activities without filing charges.
Chesapeake has said it and Encana considered a joint venture, but decided against it. Chesapeake says lease prices and competition for leases dropped because the Michigan geology was not as good as was hoped.

Been getting calls from this Card Services for a few years. I have told their incompetant staff that I am not interested in their services. This is because I do Not use credit cards. I wish there was some attorney out there that knows how to get these calls traced. Then I would have them served with an anti-harrassment order against them.
Location says Wahpeton, ND
As soon as I answered they hung up!!
Caller ID said FRAUD CALL as soon as I answered, they hung up
Caller Id said "Fraud Call" well at least they're being somewhat truthful about what they are if not who they are.
I listened knowing I do no have a credit card and when told dial one to talk to a real person I did. The gentleman said he was Ben and I said remove me from your calling listen as I am on the no call registray, his reply was NO! I said yes and he hung up on me.
Nothing that you do will stop them from calling you. The major players behind this have made millions of dollars, which means that they are too big to fail.
One of the major players specializes in aiding the rich with tax evasion and shell corporations set up in Belize. You can bet that the well to do in this country are not getting lower your credit card interest rate calls and due to that fact our government just considers a few phone calls a minor annoyance.
The FCC has temporarily halted 5 of the minor non profitable boiler rooms. They will receive a slap on the wrist and be back at it within a few days. In the meantime the calls will continue since the major money is being made with what is called a CNAM revenue-sharing program through companies like www.telephonemanagement.net
In their own words: Every day your company makes thousands of outbound phone calls. Every one of those calls generates revenue for many companies, why not yours? Our CNAM revenue-sharing program helps you make money every time a Caller ID request is made by a phone carrier. A high-traffic call center can lose hundreds to thousands of dollars a day to phone carriers by allowing them to charge for access to your own data.
You can now see why the criminals keep calling even though they know you won't fall for their scam. If someone does make the mistake of answering the phone and falling for their con then it is just icing on the cake for them. These people are the lowest form of filth on this planet. The only way to stop this is to contact the FBI and ask why this crime family is allowed to operate and facilitate the ongoing criminal operations. This is one of the reasons that the RICO act was put in place, so why aren't they using it. Is this because this isn't a high profile, news worthy operation or is the FBI too understaffed and busy with Homeland Security issues. Maybe if we were rich they would take this seriously, but then if we were rich we would be using that criminal organizations services and protecting them.
There is a blog site that has information on one of these operations: telemarketerspam.wordpress.com
Been getting a call twice a week for the past month from these rat-bastard father-rapers!
I contacted my federal rep. Kenny Marchants' office from Dallas Co. I was told these scammers are smarter than the telephone companies and federal govt. Please call your federal representative and senators for your state and file complaints. The phone companies are making enough money off of us. This is riduculous to be aggravated with these calls everyday. I think the phone companies can stop it.
These idiots just don't give up with their credit card scam. I've pushed the number asking them to stop calling and they still call. Reported it to the National Do Not Call List and the Kansas attorney general. I'm so fed up now that I push 1 and blow a whistle into the phone whenever this idiot answers it. Serves them right!!!!!!
Have repeatedly requested that they remove this number from their call list.
Caller, first time appeared as Credit Services, no response when answered of dialed. 11/07/12 caller ID " Fraud Call.
The Ftc recently shut down the callers Of " This is Rachel calling to reduce your credit card rate"
If you get a call from this telemarketer, please file a complaint with the FCC: www.fcc.gov If they receive enough complaints, they'll investigate. In addition, they send information on how to file a lawsuit.
keep getting calls from 7016719447 claiming they can lower credit card interest to 4%. when i would get to a live person they would hang up on me when ever I asked any questions. I called the number back and now there is a message saying the number has been spoofed and there is an investigation who is using this number illegally
"I have had this number calling me for months. today i got tired of it and pressed one to speak so someone and the Guy started sexually harrassing me over the phone.. Said they are debt release company and he answered by the name Jason and then mysteriously changed his name to Julian Mason. I want to report these scum bags! He hung up on me.. I have no credit debt- i'm tired of these calls!"
With all of the people here on this site experiencing the same BS predatory, illegal and annoying calls from the same number, we all need to come together and ask around, ask friends and with a network of like minded people someone may know someone who either has or can design a "Denial of Service" attack program. If you know of such a person, have them deny 701-671-9447 from making ANY more calls!! Since the FCC and FTC is unable to put a stop to this, lets cut out the bureaucracy and get this done.
North Dakota Office of Attorney General -- You may be interested in reading a news release this office issued in May 2010, warning about scam telephone calls using spoofed North Dakota (701 area code) telephone numbers, at www.ag.nd.gov Since then, we have received reports from across the country of other scams using spoofed ND phone numbers.
I keep getting these calls. I don't answer them because they never leave a message. I know they are scammers. If I answer the phone they know it is an active phone number.

Getting tired of this number calling me.
The calls originate in Wahpeton, North Dakota. I just sent correspondence to the local police chief to see if I could get some assistance. Despite registration with the do not call registry and the filing of several complaints, the calls continue. DNC registry seems worthless.
Annoying telemarketers
When I called back, I went straight to an automated opt-out. I hope it works!
Got two calls from this number today. Did not recognize the number. 17th number I have from these idiots
OK, folks, Listen up...
They WILL NOT remove your number if you attempt to opt-out. These people are scam artists and will continue to call your number because they now know that it is a live number. Read the blog at telemarketerspam.wordpress.com to better educate yourself on this company and their tactics. Then complain, complain, complain. That is the ONLY way we are going to get anything done about it.
This morning, I sent the link above to Brian Ross of ABC News Investigative Division. Please, everyone else do the same, the more people looking into their operations, the faster they'll stop.
5 calls in one week. They say they'll take my name off and then call me again
Keep getting calls from this number.
I just received a call (recording) from 701-671-9447 with a message that I could lower my credit card bill. Since this was like the 17th phone I got about this I pressed 1 and when the guy came on the line I immediately asked for the manager. He said sure and hung up LOL
This is a lower your interest rate call. After a week of getting this every day i answered and pressed 1 and told them to put me on their do not call list and I have NO credit cards so I don't need your service. They hung up and keep calling back. What to do???
What are the penalties for these nonsense calls?
I had several of those card services calls with the same area code and prefix so I tracked down the origination and sent them this email thread:
I have been receiving calls from a number that has an account with your company, xxx-xxx-xxxx.
This person is in FULL VIOLATION of at least a dozen FCC regulations concerning telemarketing.
Please disconnect them immediately before I report you and this scam to every one of the NATIONAL news services.
Their reply:
Thank you for contacting Pacific Telecom. We are a B2B phone company specializing in inbound origination services for large scale commercial businesses.
The number you are reporting, xxx-xxx-xxxx, is associated with a Pacific Telecom subscriber. If you would like help with preventing future calls from this subscriber please feel free to contact our office. Pacific Telecom can issue a "do not call" demand on the subscriber for any number(s) you provide.
Please note, such requests can take up to 48 hours to receive compliance confirmation from the subscriber. In the mean time, if you believe the call(s) are in violation of the national or your state's Do Not Call list please contact the appropriate regulatory entity to file a complaint.
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me.
This was my reply back to them:
It is not just that I want you to issue a DNC order, it is the fact that this company is violating at least a dozen FCC regulations regarding telemarketing.
I have found well over a thousand complaints on various internet sites regarding this company and their bank of phone numbers. I am sure that what they are doing is against your own TOS.
If you do not suspend their account or prevent them from placing these types of calls, I will report your company to the FCC for allowing this company to continue to violate FCC regulations as well as to the national news services for your reluctance to prevent this from occurring after it being brought to your attention. I have already issued several complaints with the FCC for violations to the National Do Not Call list.
I no longer get any from that ac/prefix but they continue to come, just like roaches!
Called again by these people. This time, they told me how they were having sex with my wife and how nice her genitals were. This is getting old.
''Other telemarketers'' have been domestic and respectful of our laws, Mickey. The credit reprice scammers use ''opt-out'' provisions as a means of confirming that a human will answer your phone, and then keep on calling and/or selling the ''lead'' to fellow criminals. This is the same business model as seen among email spammers.
Here's a link to a site which helps explain the scope of the problem and why the credit reprice scammers are hard to control:
It also advocates a strategy similar to that adopted by spam combat veterans. In that realm, it's reporting to ''upstream providers'' like an ISP or a web host. For these junk calls, you contact the state regulators who have oversight of the various phone number blocks in use. Two states have thus far revoked licensing for what is thought to be a major player in illegal calls.
Want to stop these calls? Call that same number right back and the robo attendant allegedly will take you off the list. If they call me again after 72 hours, I'll know it's BS, but I've done this before with other telemarketers and it's worked.
asked to be removed from list 1 year ago they have since called 57 times!!
Got a call from this number SPAM SPAM SPAM
This phone calls me and even leave me messages and is a scam, be careful, Luis
Like many people, E, you're convinced that nothing has been done by federal regulators and attorneys general to kill off credit reprice scammers and junk callers with autodialers in general. If you spend only a few minutes on the problem that belief dissolves. Here's what the FTC has been up to for the past few years:
Enforcement of the Do Not Call Registry (summary, links)
Enforcement Action Announcements - Alphabetical
Press Releases - Chronological
Here are some credit reprice scammers in Atlanta headed to jail this year:
Adams Sentenced To Over 17 Years In Prison For Multi-Million Dollar Telemarketing Fraud Scheme
The FTC held meetings all day long a few weeks ago to better define the problem and do more than rely on rules which the criminals are always going to ignore:
Federal Trade Commission to Host Robocall Summit
FTC Challenges Innovators to Do Battle with Robocallers
Complaints to DNC form a handy pool of intel for law enforcement, something you are all prompted to read about at registration. Those complaints have helped the FTC choke off several credit reprice scammers since 2009. If you hope for more prompt human assistance, file complaints with the FTC and attorneys general. Individual action through a TCPA lawsuit would be a strong suggestion, if anyone manages to corner one of these scammers long enough. People, this is not a sprint, it's a marathon. You won't see relief tomorrow, but it will come if you do your part to fight for it.
I've received many, many calls (I started to write them down) from various numbers across the country on my cell phone, never my home phone. It's a robocaller named "Anne". If I press "1" to speak w a person once I ask for their name they hang up on me. When i call back or if I miss the call & call back, I get a fast busy signal. How does one stop these calls. This has to be illegal but how & where do we report this to that will take these complaints seriously and do something. After reading these posts and others when I've "filed a complaint" it seems many people have the same issues. Will some organization, government official, etc please take notice and do something about this already!!!
I didn't answer but when I called back it didn't even ring. An automated message said it was to opt out of telemarketing calls or something like that. I had to enter my number though when I called.
i like to keep these people on the phone as long as possible... pretend there's someone at the door; the water is boiling on the stove; the cat wants out; anything i can think of to keep them waiting on the phone while i waste their time -- mostly i just keep playing scrabble or jewel quest while they wait -- the more time of their's i waste, the more it costs them!!!
I got a call from 701-671-9447 today at 2:15 ET on Oct 31st. I called AT&T and got info from them that the provider of the number is CallerID4u,Inc. Their Web site is: www.callerid4u.com
I caled them and talked with a person by the name of Rick.
He gave me a case number, and told me to report any other calls to them and give them my case number.
These calls are a scam, and we all know it. What we need to do is for EVERYONE who gets calls from this number and others, is to call CallerID4u and make a complaint. Their contact number is: (206) 792-9399, which is on their web site.
At least we now know one of the providers of the numbers these scammers are using.
These scammers use Card Member Services, Finincial services, and various other simular names, and most of them want to lower your credit card rate.
Our local phone company says they can't do anything about this, but I was lucky to get the name of the provider of the scam number that called me.
Getting this annoying call on my cell and at home from multiple areas/numbers. I've tried multiple methods to get them to stop calling; from "pressing" the number they indicate to talking with a live person. All of my phones are registered with the National No Call Registry. Nothing works. Just keep getting the calls. Now, if I get a call I don't recognize I don't answer. I figure if it's a call I need to recieve the caller will leave a message. These numbers NEVER do! I feel it's a violation of my privacy. It's also theft if/when I do answer and am charged minutes on my cell plan for the call. But no one seems to be able to do anything about it. I've wondered if recipients banded together in a class action against the telephone/cell phone service providers if they wouldn't figure out how to stop it. Afterall...these folks are getting their phone service from some company. As it is the companies acutally benefit....$$ paid by the caller and minutes used on the recieving end. What's their motivation to stop it? If phone companies were forced to pay damages to call recipients they might be more motivated to find s way to stop it. I've called to complain to my service providers, land and cell, and have been told that they are unable to identify the caller account. REALLY??? They don't know who purchased the service??? I don't buy that.
I think this ois a SCAM. I have received numerous calls from this number, but I did not answer them.
Same annoying Rat Bastards. Different day. They hung up when I picked up.
Robo-caller 'Heather' to my DNC-listed cellphone offers to lower my Credit Card rate but I must act quickly. "1" to speak with operator; "2" to discontinue further notices, yeah, right!
Called on my cell. No message.
I called this number back and received an automated telemarketing opt out service but not sure who it is. Possible scam as it for all your information be cautious.

David Bowie releases new single on 66th birthday
10:11 08 January 2013
David Bowie broke years of silence and speculation today to release his first new single in a decade - with an album to follow.
The star, who is from London and shot to fame in the late 1960s with Space Oddity, surprised fans by suddenly releasing a new recording, Where Are We Now?, on his 66th birthday.
The track appeared on iTunes at 5am with the accompanying atmospheric video premiering on his website.
It was instantly well received by his devotees.
Bowie's last album of new material, Reality, was released in 2003 and after touring the songs he largely withdrew from the public eye, concentrating on his family life as he lived in New York.
The new track sees Bowie reviewing his time in Berlin - where he created some of his most groundbreaking music in the 1970s - as he lists some of his haunts with the repeated line "just walking the dead".
And in the video directed by Tony Oursler, with the musician's pensive face projected on to a puppet, he appears to be almost biting back tears as he looks back on his life.
Where Are We Now? was written by Bowie and recorded in New York. It was produced by long-term collaborator Tony Visconti, who has worked on many of his most famous albums, beginning with 1969's Space Oddity.
A follow-up album called The Next Day is set to be released in March.
Bowie has not performed live since 2006 when he appeared alongside David Gilmour at London's Royal Albert Hall and a few months later on the bill of a charity concert in New York.
His public withdrawal has led to rumours of poor health, although this has continually been denied.
Bowie, who is known for the constant reinvention of his look and sound, particularly in the 1970s, turned down the opportunity to appear at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games last year despite a personal plea by director Danny Boyle.
His re-emergence today quickly caused a buzz online with many praising the single.
Broadcaster and writer Jon Ronson wrote on Twitter: "Did you think David Bowie would never release another record or be seen again? We were wrong. And it's great."
Boy George said: "Just bought David Bowie's new single Where Are We Now? - bloody gorgeous. New album coming. How happy am I?"
The single sleeve is an upside-down black and white picture of the star in his "Thin White Duke" days in the 1970s.

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - So what can you do to help the tornado victims in Joplin?
The American Red Corss is asking people to stop sending items to Joplin, Missouri for the tornado victims, but encourages people to continue making monetary donations.
Supply drives for Joplin donations
The Red Cross said it is running out of room to put the donated items as donations continue to come in by the truck load from across the country.
Hundreds of relief supplies have been moved to Joplin and other affected areas, such as comfort kits, tarps, coolers, rakes and other cleanup equipment and tools.
For ways to donate and offer assistance, visit www.redcross.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS; people can also text the word "REDCROSS" to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Contributions may also be sent to local American Red Cross chapters or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.
In addition, disaster survivors can declare themselves "safe and well" by visiting the Red Cross' Safe and Well web site. People who have family or friends in Joplin, Missouri are asked to call 417-659-5464 to check on loved ones in the area.
The American Red Cross has opened a shelter at Missouri Southern State University, which can hold up to a thousand people.
Blood donation
The Red Cross has also advised that Type-O Negative blood is desperately needed, with some affected areas having less than a one-day supply remaining.
Third graders at Boone Trail Elementary in the Wentzville School District are collecting items for children in Joplin. People can drop off toys, books, puzzles and coloring books at the school at 555 East Hwy N in Wentzville
Rock Community Fire Protection District
The Rock Community Fire Protection District's Ladies Auxiliary is collecting items to help with tornado victims immediate needs.

Lincoln County
Lincoln County Fire Protection District #1 is helping coordinate a local community driven effort to provide basic supplies to the thousands of people in Joplin, Missouri affected by the recent devastating tornado.
Many individuals and businesses want to donate items, but don't know how they will get them to Joplin. Lincoln County Firefighters have stepped forward and will transport the first collection of desperately needed items to Joplin on Friday, May 27. Subsequent deliveries will be made as items are collected and deliveries will continue as long as items are donated and/or needed.
Immediate need items are bottled water, cleaning supplies, trash bags, non-perishable food items, pet supplies, personal hygiene items, first aid kits and extension cords.

Be sure to "like" the Fire District today, so you receive the updates.
Tax deductible monetary donations can be made to the Lincoln County Firefighter's Foundation. All donated funds will be used to purchase items listed above which will then be transported to Joplin. Otherwise, residents may make monetary donations to the charity of their choice such as the American Red Cross, Salvation Army or Convoy of Hope.

A post about spider silk might sound more like biology than electronics; and the strength of spider webs is the stuff of legend, as Spiderman fans will tell you. But recent research at Iowa State University by Xinwei Wang has raised some issues that might mean we need to rethink the pigeonholing.
His investigations of the silk produced by Nephila clavipes, golden silk orbweavers, found that the draglines that spiders use to anchor their webs conduct heat better, even, than silicon, aluminum and pure iron and, counter-intuitively, conductivity improves when web is stretched.
"New Secrets of Spider Silk: Exceptionally High Thermal Conductivity and its Abnormal Change under Stretching" is published online by the journal Advanced Materials.
The hope is that spider silk could be used to make flexible, heat-dissipating parts for electronics, along with a range of other goods where temperature control in limited space is an issue. Wang said the defect-free molecular structure of spider silk, including proteins that contain nanocrystals and spring-shaped structures connecting the proteins, are the keys to understanding the silk's useful properties.
So if you're working on something where thermal management is an issue don't squish that spider in the corner, harness it.

I know Emacs has some sort of integration with gdb (though I never used it) to jump through files as you debug a program. I'd like to do the same with Ruby programs.
As erenon said, use ruby debug, which provides a library for emacs that lets you use it just as gdb.
Install rdebug by issuing this command on your terminal(the sudo is optional, depending on your system):
You then need to download the ruby-debug-extra file from rubyforge, and install it in the standard way.
This gives you the elisp files for the interaction with rdebug, plus documentation for ruby-debug that can be viewed from within emacs.
There is another emacs to ruby-debug interface. See https://github.com/rocky/emacs-dbgr/wiki .
More generally, it works with other ruby debuggers and other debuggers in general.
You may want use rdebug.
I am getting "Cannot open load file: gdb-ui" in GNU Emacs 22.214.171.124 (x86_64-apple-darwin10.0.0, NS apple-appkit-1038.11) of 2009-10-31
I was stuck with same problem with gdb-ui, but I found the solution: I downloaded gdb-ui.el from here and put it into ruby-debug-extra/emacs dir... then I've adjusted Makefiles to point to this file before any other rdebug*.el files. After this step you'll get make working. Since I'm using emacs-snapshot and gdb mode is available already in my emacs environment, this issue is only about to build rdebug mode. After this I've installed it with "sudo make install" and it works perfectly :) Don't forget to add (require 'rdebug) to your ~/.emacs or whatever else you use to bootstrap your config.
The chosen strategy can be made to work, although texi2html and texinfo were not enough on my system, but I stopped pursuing this strategy without installing the extra packages.
Here's what I did: download ruby-debug-extra-0.10.4.tar.gz from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1900&release_id=28306, untar it, but DON'T do the whole configure/make/blah/blah thing. Instead, I simply copied the 'emacs' directory to ~/.emacs.d/rdebug, and then added to my ~/.emacs.d/init.el file (you can also use your ~/.emacs file):
This won't byte-compile it, I didn't care. I prefer this solution because I got really annoyed that the packages forces you to install the docs.

I've been asked to update some Excel 2003 macros, but the VBA projects are password protected, and it seems there's a lack of documentation... no-one knows the passwords.
Is there a way of removing or cracking the password on a VBA project?
Yes there is, as long as you are using a
As Treb says, it's a simple comparison. One method is to simply swap out the password entry in the file using a hex editor (see Hex editors for Windows). Step by step example:
If you need to work with Excel 2007 or 2010, there are some other answers below which might help, particularly these: 1, 2, 3.
EDIT Feb 2015: for another method that looks very promising, look at this new answer by Đức Thanh Nguyễn.
You can try this direct

how it works
I will try my best to explain how it works - please excuse my english.
using the code
There is another (somewhat easier) solution, without the size problems. I used this approach today (on a 2003 XLS file, using Excel 2007) and was successful.
*NOTE: Be sure that you have changed the password to a new value, otherwise the next time you open the spreadsheet Excel will report errors (Unexpected Error), then when you access the list of VBA modules you will now see the names of the source modules but receive another error when trying to open forms/code/etc. To remedy this, go back to the VBA Project Properties and set the password to a new value. Save and re-open the Excel document and you should be good to go!
Colin Pickard has an excellent answer, but there is one 'watch out' with this. There are instances (I haven't figured out the cause yet) where the total length of the "CMG=........GC=...." entry in the file is different from one excel file to the next. In some cases, this entry will be 137 bytes, and in others it will be 143 bytes. The 137 byte length is the odd one, and if this happens when you create your file with the '1234' password, just create another file, and it should jump to the 143 byte length.
If you try to paste the wrong number of bytes into the file, you will lose your VBA project when you try to open the file with Excel.
This is not valid for Excel 2007/2010 files. The standard .xlsx file format is actually a .zip file containing numerous sub-folders with the formatting, layout, content, etc, stored as xml data. For an unprotected Excel 2007 file, you can just change the .xlsx extension to .zip, then open the zip file and look through all the xml data. It's very straightforward.
However, when you password protect an Excel 2007 file, the entire .zip (.xlsx) file is actually encrypted using RSA encryption. It is no longer possible to change the extension to .zip and browse the file contents.
I've built upon Đức Thanh Nguyễn's fantastic answer to allow this method to work with 64-bit versions of Excel. I'm running Excel 2010 64-Bit on 64-Bit Windows 7.
DISCLAIMER This worked for me and I have documented it here in the hope it will help someone out. I have not fully tested it. Please be sure to save all open files before proceeding with this option.
It's worth pointing out that if you have an Excel 2007 (xlsm) file, then you can simply save it as an Excel 2003 (xls) file and use the methods outlined in other answers.
Have you tried simply opening them in OpenOffice.org?
I had a similar problem some time ago and found that Excel and Calc didn't understand each other's encryption, and so allowed direct access to just about everything.
This was a while ago, so if that wasn't just a fluke on my part it also may have been patched.
For Excel 2007 onward you need to change your file extension to .zip In the archive there is a subfolder xl, in there you will find vbaProject.bin. Follow the step above with vbaProject.bin then save it back in the archive. Modify back your extension and voilà! (meaning follow steps above)
Colin Pickard is mostly correct, but don't confuse the "password to open" protection for the entire file with the VBA password protection, which is completely different from the former and is the same for Office 2003 and 2007 (for Office 2007, rename the file to .zip and look for the vbaProject.bin inside the zip). And that technically the correct way to edit the file is to use a OLE compound document viewer like CFX to open up the correct stream. Of course, if you are just replacing bytes, the plain old binary editor may work.
BTW, if you are wondering about the exact format of these fields, they have it documented now:
In the event that your block of

For an

For the XLS format, you can follow some of the other methods in this post. I personally prefer searching for the
with blank spaces. This obviates CFB container size issues.
Tom - I made a schoolboy error initially as I didn't watch the byte size and instead I copied and pasted from the "CMG" set up to the subsequent entry. This was two different text sizes between the two files, though, and I lost the VBA project just as Stewbob warned.
Using HxD, there is a counter tracking how much file you're selecting. Copy starting from CMG until the counter reads 8F (hex for 143) and likewise when pasting into the locked file - I ended up with twice the number of "..." at the end of the paste, which looked odd somehow and felt almost unnatural, but it worked.
I don't know if it is crucial, but I made sure I shut both the hex editor and excel down before reopening the file in Excel. I then had to go through the menus to open the VB Editor, into VBProject Properties and entered in the 'new' password to unlock the code.
I hope this helps.
ElcomSoft makes Advanced Office Password Breaker and Advanced Office Password Recovery products which may apply to this case, as long as the document was created in Office 2007 or prior.
The protection is a simple text comparison in Excel. Load Excel in your favourite debugger (Ollydbg being my tool of choice), find the code that does the comparison and fix it to always return true, this should let you access the macros.
My tool, VbaDiff, reads VBA directly from the file, so you can use it to recover protected VBA code from most office documents without resorting to a hex editor.
I tried some of solutions above and none of them works for me (excel 2007 xlsm file). Then i found another solution that even retrieve password, not just crack it.
Insert this code into module, run it and give it some time. It will recover your password by brute force.

Algorithm - How to delete duplicate elements in a list efficiently?
I've read a lot of methods for removing duplicates from a python list while preserving the order. All the methods appear to require the creation of a function/sub-routine, which I think is not very computationally efficient. I came up with the following and I would like to know if this is the most computationally efficient method to do so?

Logan Bauman - December 06, 2008Logan Andrew Bauman, age 14, of Parker, Colo., died suddenly as a pedestrian in a traffic accident near his home on Saturday evening, Dec. 6, 2008.
Logan's death leaves a deep void in the hearts of his family and friends, an emptiness we will try to fill with our loving memories.
Logan started his life in Albuquerque, N.M., on Aug. 17, 1994. He took in the array of culture in New Mexico—always observing and seeking, even as a toddler, to understand those around him.
He moved to Colorado with his family, settling in Parker to begin school. Logan made a huge impact during his short time on earth. There was a certain sparkle about Logan that lit up a room. He loved life and the people in his life.
Sports were important to Logan, especially football and the Parker Hawks, for whom Logan played quarterback this past year.
His enthusiasm, optimism and hustle distinguished Logan's approach to sports—and life. Logan also participated in basketball and track and enjoyed attending Rockies and Broncos games.
However, his heart belonged to the Packers. He was a cheesehead to the core and saw Brett Favre throw the longest touchdown pass in overtime history when the Pack played the Broncos in Denver last year.
Logan enjoyed school and being with his friends and teachers, and believed knowledge provides empowerment and choices.
On the day of his accident, Logan had completed entrance exams for Regis Jesuit High School—dreaming of attending this private school.
In true fashion, Logan wrote a paper for his dad, convincing him Regis was the best choice for Logan. He highlighted the small teacher/student ratio, curriculum opportunities, and the importance of having a school with this reputation on his record, as he applied for colleges.
Needless to say, Logan was not only an excellent student, but a born politician. Heaven must have been in need of a president.
Logan was a world-class player of Guitar Hero and delighted in proving it to anyone who dared to test his skills. He was an accomplished trumpet player and had been given the honor of being the only student chosen to direct a song at the concert to be held on Dec. 9. We hope no one misses a note, as Logan will be directing from above.
Logan spent the Thanksgiving weekend back in Nebraska with family. He was able to hunt with his faithful companion, yellow lab Chloe.
He and his dad attended the Nebraska/Colorado football game in Lincoln, cheering on the Huskers and Logan's cousin, Dreu Young, who plays tight end for the Huskers.
Dreu will add Logan's name to the sweatbands and eye-black he'll wear in the Gator Bowl. Fellow Huskers Keith Williams, Mike McNeill, and Mike Smith will also wear Logan's name on their bands—a tribute to the young man they met while visiting the Baumans in Parker.
A natural leader, Logan never took more from a relationship than he was willing to give back. Logan looked for the best in everyone and every situation, choosing to view the cup as "half-full".
His many friends are a testament to his character. These students not only planned and carried out vigils and memorials for Logan, but went so far as to establish Logan's Regis Scholarship fund—all on their own—digging into their pockets the evening after his death to raise the $250 needed to open an account. They have since raised another $1,200.
They understand how important it was for Logan to attend Regis and the prohibitive cost attached. One student was quoted as saying, "We are doing this so other smart kids like Logan can afford to go to this school."
Logan looks down from above with great pride for the accomplishments of his classmates and the wonderful tribute they have given him.
Logan was a good and loyal son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend. Logan is the cherished son of Karla and Andy and brother of Alyse, all of Parker, Colo., (formerly of Gothenburg and Imperial, Neb.); the grandson of Kent and Donita Pribbeno of Imperial, and Jerry and Mary Lou Bauman of Kearney and the late Jeralyn Bauman; the nephew of Marc and Mindy Young of Cozad; Mike and Jana Pribbeno of Imperial; Doug and Tracy Pribbeno, Indianapolis, Ind.; and Mike and Ann Smith, Leesburg, Ga.
He is also survived by numerous cousins and friends.
Funeral services were held Thursday, Dec. 11 at the Parker United Methodist Church.
Memorials are suggested to Logan's Regis Fund or the Logan Bauman Memorial Fund (both to assist needy students) c/o Bank of Choice, 12907 S. Parker Rd. Parker, CO 80134. People can send condolences and sign the guest book at www.HoranCares.com.

Crushed Nigella Lawson has been dining in amid speculation that she will divorce her abusive husband.
But the TV cook has not been cooking, judging by the treats seen arriving at her sister's flat where she has been staying.
One meal of upmarket dishes was carried in on a tray by a waiter in full silver service uniform. He was escorted into sister Horatia's Mayfair pad by an aide.
Family and friends have rallied around the "domestic goddess", said to be on the verge of ending her 10-year marriage to multi-millionaire Charles Saatchi, who was pictured throttling her at a restaurant.
A young male relative arrived at the £10,000-a-week flat carrying a hastily packed suitcase full of clothes which almost spilled out on to the street.
Nigella, 53, looked a world away from her sultry TV image as she stepped out looking pale and drawn, dressed from head to toe in black.
Daughter Cosima, 19, looked equally glum as she accompanied her mother on an outing.
Saatchi, 70, was left to walk alone near his £15million Chelsea home at the weekend.
The couple are on the verge of a final split, according to one well-placed aide.
The source, who has been in regular contact with Nigella, said: "Her heart is bleeding right now. She wants out. Neither she nor Charles are interested in counselling or trying to save the marriage.
"It seems they're done and she is broken and desolate."
A legal adviser with links to the couple said that the divorce would be drawn up shortly and finalised in two years.
Nigella is thought to be facing the prospect of losing a chunk of her £20million fortune.
She has ditched her wedding ring since Saatchi was photographed placing his hands on her neck four times at an exclusive restaurant 11 days ago.
He claimed to a journalist that it was "a playful tiff" but later accepted a police caution over his abusive behaviour as they dined at an outside table at Scott's in London.

ELYRIA — Elyria Schools Superintendent Paul Rigda remembers one thing that Ridge Tool President Fred Pond said just before voters approved the Elyria High School levy in May:
"When this thing passes, I want you to come back here because we're going to give you something big," Pond told Rigda at the time.
On Thursday — just seven months after voters approved a levy for the $68 million high school — Rigda went back to Ridge Tool and got what Pond had promised: A $200,000 donation for the new Elyria High School.
The money will be used to purchase equipment and resources to supplement a state-of-the-art media center that will be part of the new Elyria High, school officials and Pond said.
"This facility will provide students with access to the latest in computer hardware, software applications and networking capabilities," Pond said. "We want the students of Elyria High School to have every opportunity to excel."
For a company like Ridge — an Elyria icon that has come a long way from its humble start manufacturing pipe wrenches —the donation for technology at the new Elyria High was the obvious choice.
Early Thursday morning, Rigda and Elyria Schools spokeswoman Amy Kren toured Ridge's Clark Street facility, where Pond highlighted the strides the global company has made in upgrading its products to fit a technology-driven industry.
These days, Ridge's products are controlled more by microchip than by human muscle —the pneumatic nailers, the power drills and a smorgasbord of tools for plumbing and construction industries.
"Because development and adaptation of technology plays such a significant role in today's world —and has a profound impact on how Ridge Tool designs, products and distributes RIDGID band products and services — we wanted to help bring technology to the classroom in a meaningful way," Pond said.
Pond presented Rigda and Kren with a giant check for $100,000, while a "small" check for another $100,000 was given to Rigda.
As it were, the company's $200,000 donation struck a chord among a select group of Ridge Tool employees who are Elyria High School graduates, all of whom graduated from 1964 to 2003.
The 35 former EHS students-turned-Ridge workers included the young and old, executive and blue-collar. They met up with Rigda and Pond on Thursday morning, unaware that the company was donating the money to their alma mater.
The group gasped collectively as Pond gathered them to unveil the giant check to Elyria Schools, some boasting that their own children will one day be students at the new Elyria High School.

Summary:For three years after being forced from office, Richard Nixon remained silent. But in the summer of 1977, the steely, cunning former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview to confront the questions of his time in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency. Nixon surprised everyone in selecting David Frost as his televised confessor, intending to easily outfox the breezy British showman and secure a place in the hearts and minds of Americans. Likewise, Frost's team harbored doubts about their boss' ability to hold his own. But as cameras rolled, a charged battle of wits resulted. Would Nixon evade questions of his role in one of the nation's greatest ... Full Summary >>

Nearly 200 medical students and college pre-medical students from throughout New York and New Jersey visited Einstein on Sunday, February 10, for an annual conference that focused on the profession's future – and their own.
The students attended "Youth in Medicine: Building Our Tomorrow," a joint regional meeting of the Student National Medical Association (SNMA) and the Minority Association of Pre-Med Students (MAPS). This year's conference was the first hosted at Einstein; previous meetings have been held at New York University, Weill Cornell Medical College, and other leading schools within the region.
SNMA, which includes MAPS, is a national, student-run organization focused on the needs and concerns of current and future medical students of color. Founded in 1964, SNMA now includes 6,000 members, making it the oldest and largest group of its kind.
"Youth in Medicine," which drew students from 19 SNMA chapters and 17 MAPS chapters in the region, was coordinated by the Einstein chapter of SNMA and the medical school's chapter of the Latino Medical Student Association, along with students from other area schools.
Dr. Allen M Spiegel, the Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz Dean at Einstein, presented the conference's keynote, speaking on "The Future of the Medical Profession: Serious Challenges, Extraordinary Opportunities." Faculty from a variety of institutions discussed topics including "An Immigrant's Journey to Open Heart Surgery," "Fighting Poverty and Healthcare Reform," and "Pathways to Academic Medicine."
Students also attended workshops on topics such as preparing for the MCAT, research in medical school, and maintaining a work-life balance in medicine.
"The conference focused specifically on preparing both medical and premedical students for the next stage in their academic careers," said Fa'iz Bayo-Awoyemi, a second-year Einstein student and secretary of the Einstein SNMA chapter. "It was also a great chance to network and promote professional growth."
He added, "The conference was a real success, especially because it was so well-attended in spite the blizzard [Winter Storm Nemo] that hit just days before."

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process of discerning and ritualizing stages of gradual conversion. Initiation of adults belongs to all the baptized. The process is about a relationship over time with both God and the Catholic community. It is the Church's method of a faith journey of conversion.
The process has no time frame. Conversion occurs on God's time; not our time. The RCIA conversion process consists of four periods. The amount of time spent in each phase is dependent on individual needs and the work of God's spirit.
The Period of Evangelization or Precatechumenate
The Period of The Catechumenate
The Period of Purification and Enlightenment
At the end of each period, a rite is celebrated to signify the continuation of the process until the sacraments of initiation are celebrated. The rites are:
The Rite of Acceptance (into the Order of the Catechumens)
The Rite of Election
Celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation
