When whistleblowers raise issues, proceed with caution
Companies launch internal investigations based on information that comes from a variety of sources, including newspaper articles, government requests for information and information bubbling up from within the organization that makes its way to the legal department. These issues can be spotted by the compliance department or raised in an internal audit. An internal investigation can also arise from information shared by employees, some of whom report issues of concern with no hint of adversity and others who raise issues as whistleblowers.
When issues are raised by individual employees who qualify as whistleblowers, companies should proceed carefully given the risk of corporate liability for retaliation. Equally important is the manner in which a company investigates the substance of whistleblower allegations. A properly handled investigation is critical not only for avoiding retaliation litigation—it can also often make the difference between aggressive criminal and regulatory enforcement action or an alternative resolution with the government.
In internal investigations arising out of whistleblower allegations, it is important to proceed deliberately and quickly in an effort to not fall behind any concurrent government investigation. A company should consider retaining outside or independent counsel, especially if the investigation is large in scope or is likely to result in the involvement of prosecutors or regulatory agencies. Some important first steps in any investigation include gathering documents and interviewing key individuals. The key is to conduct an internal investigation that is both credible and reliable to the various parties that may be interested in the results, such as government agencies, the company's board of directors, outside auditors and the like.
A major goal at the outset of internal investigations is to avoid taking action that can seem retaliatory and to avoid forming conclusions about the ultimate outcome. For example, in August 2012, the Wall Street Journal reported that NCR Corp. had launched an internal investigation into whistleblower allegations regarding potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in China, the Middle East and Africa. While the company hired an outside law firm to conduct an internal investigation, it continued to release press statements expressing "concerns about the veracity and accuracy of the allegations" as the investigation was ongoing. From a company's perspective, it is preferable to remain neutral until the investigation reveals more.
A company's independent and professional handling of an internal investigation can help protect it from retaliation litigation. In March, a judge dismissed a defamation claim brought by a whistleblower against Merck and its in-house counsel. After investigating the plaintiff's allegations of overbilling, the in-house counsel wrote a letter to the whistleblower, stating that his "allegations have been determined to be unfounded and that the matter is now closed." The whistleblower sued, stating that the characterization of his allegations as "unfounded" was defamatory. In dismissing the case, the judge commented that Merck's in-house counsel handled the investigation and response "in a thoughtful and temperate manner."
Sometimes the internal investigation reveals not only that a whistleblower's allegations are unfounded, but also that the whistleblower's conduct, either in relation to the complaint or otherwise, is problematic. Although there is always a risk of a retaliation suit, companies are able to make justified employment decisions when warranted.
In Livingston v. Wyeth, Mark Livingston, a training director at a vaccine facility, alleged that Wyeth had failed to comply with a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) consent decree. Wyeth's internal investigation did not find any wrongdoing and the facility was ultimately certified as being in compliance with the FDA's requirements. Shortly after the investigation, human resources reached out to Livingston regarding his inappropriate workplace behavior. Following an altercation with the director of human resources at a party, Livingston was terminated. He filed a retaliation suit, claiming that he was fired as a result of his earlier complaints. Wyeth argued that he was fired because of a long history of aggressive and disruptive misconduct. According to Wyeth, numerous employees had asked for transfers or resigned as a result of Livingston's "abusive language and inappropriate behavior." The court upheld the dismissal of Livingston's suit, holding that his conduct was not protected under the Sarbanes Oxley Act. However, the court also went on to say that even if Livingston's whistleblower activity was protected, Wyeth's employment decision would have been justified by his continued misconduct.
In addition to the structural decisions made at the onset of an investigation, such as the retention of outside counsel and the mechanics of document collection, a company should plan for how to disseminate the results of an internal investigation within the organization. For example, if the investigation reveals whistleblower misconduct, should the results be shared with management, general counsel or the audit committee or some subset thereof? Similar considerations arise if the investigation touches directly or indirectly on the conduct of senior management. Depending on the individual circumstances of the company and its internal structure, each of these parties could have a different degree of responsibility and potential liability for making important employment decisions that arise out of the results of an investigation.
Internal investigations can be potentially fraught, costly and stressful for a company and its employees. However, as the Merck case illustrates, an internal investigation that is carried out thoughtfully and responsibly can have a successful resolution and help a company respond to the many potential consequences of whistleblower allegations. Careful planning and execution can yield an internal investigation with clear and reliable conclusions.

A month ago images leaked of what was purported to be the much-rumored PlayStation Phone. Now we have a video.
The new video shows a device that looks much like the one from the previous images: a Sony Ericsson phone with a sliding keyboard much like the PSPGo and a touchscreen interface. Based on the phone's display, the video was taken on Thursday, December 2 and the model has been codenamed "zeus." It also features the Android OS, as rumored, running the upcoming "Gingerbread" version of the software. And while the video doesn't show any actual games playing, the device does has a PlayStation icon, which leads to a very XMB-style interface.
Previous rumors claimed that the phone would feature a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655, 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, and a screen that's about four inches. But those rumors also claimed that the device would be in our hands in October, which obviously isn't the case. However, a French website recently showed off an image that suggests the PS Phone might be officially revealed as soon as December 9. Meanwhile, Sony Ericsson Chief Executive Bert Nordberg teased a February release to the WSJ, saying "There's a lot of smoke, and I tell you there must be a fire somewhere. Sony has an extremely strong offering in the gaming market, and that's very interesting." He then went on to hint at a big new unveiling in Barcelona in February.
Either way, it looks like an official reveal is coming. Now we play the waiting game.

I2P dev meeting, May 9, 2006
Quick recap
- Present:
arse, cervantes, Complication, i, jrandom, roderick_spod1, tmp,
Log IRC completo
16:31 < jrandom> 0) hi
16:31 < jrandom> 1) Net status and 0.6.1.18
16:31 < jrandom> 2) baz
16:31 < jrandom> 3) ???
16:31 < jrandom> 0) hi
16:31 * jrandom waves
16:32 < jrandom> weekly status notes posted up at http://dev.i2p.net/pipermail/i2p/2006-May/001288.html
16:32 < jrandom> while y'all read through that, lets jump on in to 1) Net status and 0.6.1.18
16:33 < jrandom> the past week has been pretty bumpy on irc & the net in general
16:33 <+Complication> Watching the graphs, but haven't noticed a perceivable change yet
16:33 <+Complication> Only the beginning too, of course
16:34 < jrandom> aye, its only been a few hours, with under 20% of the net upgraded
16:35 < jrandom> there are still a few big guns left to deploy on the net, but I'd like things to stabilize first before pushing out major changes
16:35 <+Complication> Indeed, it helps to see (as much as seeing is possible) what changes what, and in which direction
16:36 <+Complication> If one deploys everything at once, figuring out what worked may be very tough
16:38 < tmp> *sigh*
16:38 * tmp dreams of IRC stability.
16:39 < jrandom> aye, on all fronts ;)
16:39 <+fox> <roderick_spod1> Roderick dreams of big tits.
16:39 < jrandom> (this is why we can filter the meeting logs... ;)
16:40 < jrandom> ok, anyone have anything else for 1) Net status and 0.6.1.18?
16:41 < jrandom> if not, lets hop on over to 2)
16:42 < jrandom> not much more to add here, just giving a status update on some w32/w64 support
16:43 < jrandom> as mentioned in the mail, gcj doesn't really seem viable on mingw atm, though we might be able to pull some tricks
16:44 < jrandom> there is an older 3.4.4/3.4.5 gcj that works on mingw, but the classpath suport in there is pretty old.
16:45 < jrandom> (and even after stripping a bunch out of hsqldb, there are still some dependencies that 3.4.5 doesn't meet. but maybe we can hack those out too... if necessary)
16:47 < jrandom> ok, if there's nothing else, lets move on over to 3) ???
16:47 < jrandom> anyone have anything else to bring up for the meeting?
16:48 < cervantes> just to say "nice one bar" for his cool donation
16:48 <+Complication> Well, there was a question in the forum about uptimes presented in NetDB...
16:48 * Complication seconds that
16:49 <+Complication> 'bout the uptimes, if you recall, I fuzzified them slightly in March...
16:49 < cervantes> must have missed that amongst the odci.gov rants
16:50 < tmp> What on earth are you doing on that side roderick_spod?
16:50 < jrandom> aye Complication
16:50 <+Complication> Well, since the question was raised, I wondered if they could be fuzzified further, or would it hurt ability to debug?
16:52 < jrandom> i'm not sure of the point - with careful analysis, all of the stat data can reveal a bunch of information
16:52 < arse> do you guys think the network periodicity is gonna subside
16:52 < jrandom> when its time, we will just turn off the stat publhshing whatsoever
16:52 <+Complication> We haven't recently had any router-restarting ones, but that's only recently...
16:52 < jrandom> arse: yes
16:52 <+Complication> (and partly because the watchdog lacks teeth)
16:54 <+Complication> True, it's pretty inevitable that during this phase, some info must be out there
16:55 < jrandom> also, the assumption they've made isn't correct, publishedTimeAgo is how long ago the router /received/ the netDb entry, not when it was signed
16:55 < jrandom> erm, wait, no, thats not true
16:56 < jrandom> never mind me. yeah, it just adds a small variation
16:56 <+Complication> Heh, I'm trying to post a reply, but get "no post mode specified" currently
16:57 <+Complication> Yeah, there's delay involved, and besides, how often was this info published? Not very frequently, IIRC?
16:57 <+Complication> Basically, if I offered to somewhat decrease the precision there, would you mind?
16:58 < jrandom> a new signed entry is published eery 5-15 minutes, but that is only published to the netDb, not all peers
16:58 < jrandom> peers only get the updated one when they either search for it or they reconnect
16:59 < jrandom> but yeah, adding more variation is fine. it'd affect stat.i2p's uptime plots, but as long as it keeps things reasonable, thats cool
17:01 <+Complication> I'll try to keep it reasonable, then :)
17:01 < jrandom> heh cool, thanks Complication
17:04 < jrandom> *cough* (and consistent ;) ok, anyone have anything else for the meeting?
17:04 <+Complication> sidenote: neat, the "post mode" bug yielded to persistence, and I could post a reply too :)
17:05 < jrandom> w3rd Complication
<i>offtopic messages snipped</i>
17:08 < jrandom> ok, if there's nothing else...
17:08 * jrandom winds up
17:09 * jrandom *baf*s the meeting closed

Is it possible to add both a name (which is displayed in the CListBox) and a hidden data value to a CListBox ? This hidden data value could be a id number that I dont want the user to see.
If possible, how would the code look ?
Also, if a user click on a item in the list how can I retrive this data and place it into a i.e. CString variable ?
Appreciate any response.

Upcycling a Light bulb
|from this blog
This upcycling ideas will be less and less possible since ordinary light bulbs are being replaced with fluorescent light bulbs. So give it a try before it's impossible!

An easy pallet upcycling
Almost nothing to do on the pallet, beside using some of your painting left over and few hooks. It looks beautiful.

Creating sculpture with thrift store plastics
Sometimes, I like to introduce upcycling as an art form. Sayaka Kajita Ganz creates organic forms with kitchen ustensils or toys and metal objects. The creations seem to be alive and in motion. what she does is amazing!

DWTS Season 16 Rumors – A Housewife and a….
…I was going to say it…okay, I'll say it. A Dick. 😀 Andy Dick, that is. All according to Radar Online. Keep in mind that Radar Online has gotten it wrong before…but they've also been right. Nothing confirmed until tomorrow.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump will be competing alongside the always outrageous Andy Dick, Radar is exclusively reporting – and we can't wait to see him bust out the Foxtrot!
Also along for the ride will be former American Idol star Kellie Pickler, Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman, boxerVictor Ortiz, Baltimore Ravens' Jacoby Jones and another comedian D.L. Hughley.
This cast is looking pretty train-wrecky and like a "Reality TV" Zone. I guess we have to hope some are wrong??

This is a popular Orange County venue usually featuring DJ'd music, but they sometimes have live bands. If you want to go dancing in Orange County on a Wednesday night, this is the place to be. Plenty of partners available, from intermediate to pros. They also offer lessons, so check their website. Highly recommended!
Here's the low down on the music and dancers at Strutter's Ball from reader Byron:
It s great! Here s the breakdown
1. Music is great. DJ s are done by a group whom I personally dub James Bianco & Friends. Andrew Jose, Juan Cuadra, and a a few others. I believe most swing dancers prefer this kind of music as opposed to some alternatives out there.
2. Dancers, there s a good spread of dancers of all levels. It s pretty populated first two weeks have upwards of 60+ people coming out at a conservative estimate. Note for new beginners, there s new locals coming by too so there s more to learn alongside with. James & Irina primarily do the teaching and I actually think of them as the best/favorite teachers in my mind so I recommend this for people who want to go to lessons.
Hours are great, they go past 12am it looks like if it fits the mood.
Thanks Byron!!!
|Every Wednesday with lesson at 7:45PM and social dancing from 8:30PM-midnight
|$10-$15, might be more when live band is playing
|Beginner through very advanced dancers, lots of partners!

I am the youngest of six brothers raised in a suburb of Detroit. We lived just a couple minutes from Woodward Avenue and spent many a summer night driving the circuit between the various ice cream stands which lit up the night. A love of cars might come naturally to any teen in that environment but I had more inspiration than most: I had five older brothers who were really into cars. And one of them, Ken (in the photo), rebuilt a Hemi in our garage.
In his senior year of high school, one of Ken's classmates mentioned that he had a 392 CI Hemi that he might be interested in selling. The engine didn't run and was sitting outside, exposed to the Michigan elements. It was 1972 and Ken was about to graduate high school and start attending Lawrence Institute of Technology (now called Lawrence Technological University). What would be a better hobby than resurrecting an old engine? He went and saw the engine at his friend's house. It was from 1957 – later confirmed when Ken and my father traced a serial number on the block – and the classmate wanted $35 for it. It had no intake manifold or carburetor but for that price, the seller would deliver it to our house in the back of his pickup truck. A deal was struck.
Ken cleared out one side of our two-car garage and got to work, dismantling the engine. He tore it down and removed everything. I was only 10 years old but I remember walking into the garage and seeing the block on the ground, surrounded by all the parts that went into it. The pistons were out, the crank was out. There were a lot of other parts I did not recognize at the time but I found the whole process fascinating. It didn't seem possible these parts would ever get back together and form a running engine. I watched some of the activity but my memory of it wasn't all that clear so I recently spoke with Ken about it. To get the engine apart took a lot of effort. The engine had sat outside for years before he got it. To get the pistons out, he had to put a block of wood under each one and whack the wood with a hammer. A few put up a fight. He managed to get out all eight without damaging them but found that many of them had badly rusted piston rings.
Ken built a stand out of two-by-sixes and put casters under it so it would roll. He bolted a piece of iron on one end to mount the engine to and placed wooden blocks on the other side to rest the engine mounts on. The bell housing surface would be secured to the iron plate at the back. The engine mounts were secured to the wooden blocks with heavy duty door hinges Ken had scrounged somewhere. Then, he began reassembling the Hemi. He didn't have any plans to ever use the engine for anything so he threw away a few of the bad piston rings. The bad ones were top rings but the second rings were fine. He just moved the second rings up to replace the tops he discarded. The engine might smoke a bit but it should run. Doing the job on a shoestring, he recycled a few of the old gaskets.
The engine did not have an intake manifold or carburetor when he got it. He went to a junkyard and found a manifold from a 354 Hemi which looked like it would fit. Things were clearly different in 1973. If you wanted to find a Hemi intake manifold at junkyard prices, it would only take you an afternoon and $20. Ken had an old Holley four barrel lying around and slapped that on too. The old Hemi was complete. But one question remained: How to start it?
Ken bought a starter for it and rolled the whole thing out into the other side of the garage. He put a ladder to one side and a lawnmower gas tank on it with a hose running down to the fuel pump. He connected the starter to a battery with jumper cables but it didn't seem to be cranking fast enough to get the engine started. Ken has never been one to stop at obstacles or think inside the box any longer than necessary. He had a go-kart with a McCullough 12-horsepower chainsaw engine. Maybe that had the necessary cranking power to fire the old Hemi?
Ken dismantled the starter motor so that all that remained was the shaft and gear which engaged the flywheel. He put the go-kart next to the engine and ran the chain from the go-kart sprocket to the starter gear. The go-kart had a centrifugal clutch on its crankshaft so it could idle without the sprocket moving. This whole setup took some time and I remember walking around watching and wondering if there was any way this could possibly work. He ran a garden hose to flush water through the engine. He had no radiator so the water would simply flow through the block and out the thermostat housing.
Then, he announced it was time to try lighting the Hemi up. My dad had his camera out, just in case it worked. Another brother of ours, Rick, was recruited to work the throttle on the go-kart engine. Ken and Rick discussed safety measures regarding the unorthodox setup: once the Hemi fired, Rick was to make sure he was leaning as far to the side as possible in case the chain flew off the starter. Inside the garage, the little chainsaw engine seemed loud. Ken then reached over, one hand to the Hemi and one on Rick's shoulder. He gave Rick the signal and the go-kart engine revved up, to where the clutch engaged. The Hemi began turning over. Ken reached over and got his hand on the throttle of the Hemi and gave it some gas. It fired and it rumbled to life. The chain flew off of the starter and sailed across the garage, hitting the far wall.
This story happened 40 years ago but I can still remember a few vivid details. The Hemi did not have any exhaust. It wasn't just missing mufflers and pipes, it had no exhaust manifolds. The Hemi was LOUD. I was standing a good ten feet away and I remember the sound hitting me like a solid wave. I swear it pushed me backwards. I wondered if the neighbors would call the police. Considering how loud this was, I'm sure there were neighbors half a block away who were wondering what was making the catastrophic noise.
Ken let go of the Hemi throttle and the engine shut off. He had not set the idle set screw so that he could kill the engine quickly in case anything had gone wrong. He adjusted it a bit now that he knew the engine would run. He reset the chain-start again and fired the Hemi. This time he just let it idle. My dad took the picture; in it, the engine is running. And no, that is not an Instagram effect. The garage is filling with smoke, the byproduct of a 15 year old Hemi being brought back to life with a few missing piston rings.
The grin on his face belies the fact that a few moments earlier, Ken had one of the worst scares of his life. When he had reached over to gas the Hemi, he hadn't realized how close he was leaning in toward the bank of exhaust ports on the side he was nearest. The ports, not hindered by manifolds, were just inches from his ear as he leaned in and started the engine. The explosive rumble that almost knocked me over 10 feet away nearly took his head off. At least, that's the way it felt to him at the time.
After the test runs, Ken pushed the engine back into the garage and moved on. He would go to Lawrence Tech and then work in the auto industry for a few decades, eventually working on - among other things – the suspension of the Explorer I drive today. As for the Hemi, Ken had no further use for it and placed an ad in the Tradin' Times, the local Auto Swapper-style paper. It said something to the effect of "For Sale. 392 Hemi. Runs. $50." A guy called and Ken told him the good news and the bad. It did run, but if the buyer wanted to do anything with it he would need to go back in and replace a few piston rings. The guy didn't care. A short while later, I remember seeing the guy back his truck up to our garage to haul away the Hemi.
We have no idea whatever became of the Hemi after that. We like to imagine that it found a good home, in the engine compartment of a race car, or in a restored classic making the rounds of the auto shows or the Woodward Dream Cruise. Who would know that it owed its second chance at life to a kid who had just graduated high school?

The Urban Institute examined surveillance camera systems in use by law enforcement to address what the organization said is a dearth of research on the topic.
More big cities are turning to surveillance video cameras as a means to fight crime, especially as police departments face the grim prospect of budget cuts and reduced manpower.
But do surveillance cameras actually have the power to reduce crime, and furthermore, are they worth the money? The answer might be yes on both accounts — so long as the cameras are actively monitored and there are enough of them.
The Urban Institute, which studies public policy decisions in Washington, D.C., and across the U.S., examined the surveillance camera systems in use by law enforcement in Baltimore, Chicago and Washington, D.C., to address what the organization said is a dearth of research on the topic.
"Results varied, with crime falling in some areas and remaining unchanged in others," the Urban Institute reported Monday, Sept. 19, in its findings. "Much of the success or failure depended on how the surveillance system was set up and monitored and how each city balanced privacy and security."
The study highlights the differing results among Baltimore, Chicago and Washington, D.C.:
Baltimore has "virtually saturated" its downtown and high-crime neighborhoods with hundreds of cameras, which are actively monitored by retired police officers from a control center, according to the study. The cameras have contributed to as many as 30 fewer incidents of crime per month since they were installed. The city's surveillance system cost $8.1 million as of mid-2008 for startup and ongoing maintenance, and that investment has resulted in $12 million in avoided "victimization" and criminal justice costs according to the Urban Institute. In other words, for every $1 spent on surveillance cameras, $1.50 is saved.
More than 8,000 video surveillance cameras have been installed in Chicago. Many of them are located in high-risk neighborhoods: "These cameras are highly visible, with signs and flashing blue lights, and connected by a wireless network that allows officers to watch real-time camera feeds from their desktop computers." While crime hasn't dropped in all neighborhoods where the cameras are located, those places where there are now fewer incidences of crime may have a higher density of cameras and those cameras are more actively monitored, according to the survey.
Unlike the first two cities, Washington D.C.'s camera system hasn't resulted in less crime, the Urban Institute claimed. Beginning in 2006, some cameras were installed in locations prone to violent crime. The cameras were marked but didn't have flashing blue lights like in Baltimore and Chicago. Furthermore, Washington, D.C., enacted a policy that restricted how the cameras were monitored in order to protect citizens' privacy.
The Urban Institute's study offered several lessons learned, including:

MIT Responds to Death of Activist Aaron Swartz, Begins Internal Investigation
Two days after Internet activist Aaron Swartz took his own life, the President of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has issued a public response and will launch an internal investigation looking into the university's role in the ordeal which first began in 2010.
"I want to express very clearly that I and all of us at MIT are extremely saddened by the death of this promising young man who touched the lives of so many," wrote president L. Rafael Reif in a statement emailed to members of the press on Sunday. "It pains me to think that MIT played any role in a series of events that have ended in tragedy."
The university has come under widespread criticism in the wake of Swartz's death. Swartz was first indicted on charges of computer fraud in 2011, after allegedly downloading approximately 5 million academic papers and files from the online service JSTOR, using MIT's on-campus network.
While JSTOR eventually dropped the charges against Swartz after he handed over his hard drives, the U.S. attorney's office continued prosecuting Swartz.
MIT is considered to have tacitly supported the decision byU.S. attorneys Carmen Ortiz and Steve Heymann to continue pursuing Swartz's criminal prosecution, which left him facing penalties of upwards of 30 years in prison and $1 million in fines.
Swartz's family issued a statement on Saturday, placing some of the blame for Swartz's death on both MIT and the U.S. Attorney's office.
"Aaron's death is not simply a personal tragedy. It is the product of a criminal justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach," the statement read. "Decisions made by officials in the U.S. Attorney's office and at MIT contributed to his death."
The university will conduct a self-audit of its role in the events of the past two years, according to president Reif.
"I have asked Professor Hal Abelson to lead a thorough analysis of MIT's involvement from the time that we first perceived unusual activity on our network in fall 2010 up to the present," he wrote. "I have asked that this analysis describe the options MIT had and the decisions MIT made, in order to understand and to learn from the actions MIT took. I will share the report with the MIT community when I receive it."
Abelson is a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT, and one of the founding members of both the Creative Commons and the Free Software Foundation.
The U.S. Attorney's office has not responded to a request for comment.

Ain't no telling when Brandon Roy will return this season, but the Blazers announced it won't be anytime soon. My guess is, if the franchise doesn't shut him down for good, they're only not doing so in case they need him to make a Willis Reed-like return at some desperate time late in the season, long after owners dropped him from their rosters. But what most people don't remember about that classic moment from 1970 is that the Captain sank two field goals and sat the rest out. Fantasy-wise, performances like that only help out those around him. Even if Roy comes back, it won't be to impact the game itself, but to impact his teammates. The play here is to cut out the middleman. See what you can get for Roy, or if no one in your league is biting (and make no mistake, no one in your league should be biting), drop him and move on. So far with Roy out, Rudy Fernandez and Wes Matthews have traded big games. Matthews is already heavily owned and the announcement that Roy will be out indefinitely served only to tighten the grip Matthews owners already had, but RuFer is still out there. Still unowned in over 80 percent of fantasy leagues. There isn't a player in the NBA who wasn't valuable last week that is more valuable this week than Fernandez. In the time that Portland has been without Roy, Fernandez has played nearly 30 mpg, shot .515/.882 and averaged 2 3ptm/14 pts /3 rbd /4 ast/1.5 stl. Start the New Year off right. Grab him.
Here's what else I saw on the last Thursday of the year:
Wes Matthews – 30/3/3 with four steals and four threes. I still think Dorell Wright or Michael Beasley's got an edge on Most Improved Player, but I wouldn't scoff like an Upper East Side Yuppie if Matthews got it.
Shawne Williams – Sank 15 points in 22 minutes along with a trio of threes. Unfortunately, he had 16 points total in the three games before that, so for now, I'm not recommending you pick up any Shawnes with e's at the end of their name.
Landry Fields – After two straight 14/10 dub-dubs, Fields has hit a wall going 1.5/5.5 and shooting .111 in his last two.
Raymond Felton – Speaking of cold guards, being one of the Buckingham Palace guards on outdoor duty in January has to be one of the worst jobs in the world. Even in a down economy, I'm not sure that standing out in 15 degree weather while tourists pretend to hump my leg as I stand stone-faced and frozen in order to protect a queen that will almost certainly never actually die seems futile. Almost as futile as Felton's attempts at shooting threes last night (1-for-6 from the arc). Add six turnovers to the total, you've got yourself Raymond Felton's worst game of the season last night.
Ryan Anderson – Coach Stan Van Gundy is still monkeying with the Magic rotation, still trying to find the magic rotation and in his wake, he's left Brandon Bass and Anderson in a pseudo timeshare. I say 'pseudo' because a) Bass has technically averaged about five minutes per game more than Anderson, b) Hedo Turkoglu has seen some of their minutes and c) I'm not completely sure what pseudo means, but it makes me sound smart. It's close enough to a timeshare that if you have Bass and you need an uptick in threes, rebounds, assists and steals, Anderson has outplayed Bass for two weeks in those categories. If you own Anderson and his .410/.692 percentages are killing you, grab the .531/.889-shooting Bass.
Jason Richardson – After a few solid outings, J-Rich played poorly on Thursday (9/7/0). Although Richardson is one of the most streaky players in the league and will likely turn it on for an extended time at some point in the next 50 games, the pattern of Richardson, Arenas, Nelson and Turkoglu all rotating on and off nights is a disturbing – if not altogether surprising – trend that has developed in the last 10 days.
Kevin Garnett – Cagey will miss the next two weeks with a strained calf. Meanwhile, you can still see him on the bench ready to pounce on Jermaine O'Neal whenever it appears he's about to fall asleep.
Mehmet Okur – DNP-CD with a sore back. Andrei Kirilenko also has a sore back, but I'm pretty sure the injuries are not related because I wouldn't know how to explain that. Both are day-to-day.
Gary Neal – He's averaging 2.8 threes and 16.5 points over his last six games including last night's 21 points. Quiet points. For a Quiet Man. "Now I want all of yous to cheer like Protestants."
Jason Kidd – 12/10/13 triple-double. The first of his season. He also played 38 minutes, which he's only done three other times this year and each of the other three games were played with Dirk in the lineup, so enjoy this while it lasts, because it won't last long. Yeah.I'm kind of a Kidd hater. No, that's too harsh. I don't hate the guy. I'm more of a Kidd H8R. There. That's better.
Jason Terry – Staying with the Dallas Jason theme, dude shot 3-for-16 from the field and promptly threw himself on the mercy of the court, which literally involved himself splayed on the half court line, hoping DeJuan Blair wouldn't step on him.
Caron Butler – Scored a season-high 30 points against the Spurs and has quietly put together a nifty back-half to the month, averaging 19.9/4.4 including 3 stl+3ptm. Might be the most quiet top 100 fantasy option of the season.

The announcement comes first. We haven't run a feature week here at Vintage Novels for a little while, but I've been cooking something up lately, and I'll be thrilled to present--Deo volente and as soon as I get home and have the time--a whole new feature week dedicated to contemporary home educated authors! There'll be reviews, there'll be interviews, there'll be some really wonderful books to discover. I'll be talking to an array of folks from our old friend John J Horn to the amazing and talented KM Weiland of Helping Writers Become Authors. Check back in a couple of weeks for more news!
And now for the poem. This is another one by GK Chesterton, who might be my favourite poet ever. This one is so evocative. I love the long and slow rhythm of the stanzas (which have a John Masefield flavour to them). Those of you who've read Orthodoxy will recognise some typical Chestertonian philosophy in here. He spoke in that book of the difference between Christianity and rationalism (which he linked closely to madness) as being the difference between a cross--a dynamic and infinite, all-encompassing shape--and a circle, which is endless but narrow, turned in upon itself:
A small circle is quite as infinite as a large circle; but, though it is quite as infinite, it is not so large. In the same way the insane explanation is quite as complete as the sane one, but it is not so large. [...] There is such a thing as a narrow universality; there is such a thing as a small and cramped eternity; you may see it in many modern religions.Later in the book, Chesterton linked rationalism directly to unitarianism, and unitarianism to Islam:
As we have taken the circle as the symbol of reason and madness, we may very well take the cross as the symbol at once of mystery and of health. Buddhism is centripetal, but Christianity is centrifugal: it breaks out. For the circle is perfect and infinite in its nature; but it is fixed for ever in its size; it can never be larger or smaller. But the cross, though it has at its heart a collision and a contradiction, can extend its four arms for ever without altering its shape. Because it has a paradox in its centre it can grow without changing. The circle returns upon itself and is bound. The cross opens its arms to the four winds; it is a signpost for free travellers.
[T]here is nothing in the least liberal or akin to reform in the substitution of pure monotheism for the Trinity. The complex God of the Athanasian Creed may be an enigma for the intellect; but He is far less likely to gather the mystery and cruelty of a Sultan than the lonely god of Omar or Mahomet. The god who is a mere awful unity is not only a king but an Eastern king. [...] If this love of a living complexity be our test, it is certainly healthier to have the Trinitarian religion than the Unitarian. For to us Trinitarians (if I may say it with reverence)—to us God Himself is a society. It is indeed a fathomless mystery of theology, and even if I were theologian enough to deal with it directly, it would not be relevant to do so here. Suffice it to say here that this triple enigma is as comforting as wine and open as an English fireside; that this thing that bewilders the intellect utterly quiets the heart: but out of the desert, from the dry places and the dreadful suns, come the cruel children of the lonely God; the real Unitarians who with scimitar in hand have laid waste the world. For it is not well for God to be alone.That is a lot of philosophy to fit into one short poem, but that's what Chesterton does her, and with the greatest ease:
The Crusader Returns from Captivity
GK Chesterton
I have come forth alive from the land of purple and poison and glamour,
Where the charm is strong as the torture, being chosen to change the mind;
Torture of wordless dance and wineless feast without clamour,
Palace hidden in palace, garden with garden behind;
Women veiled in the sun, or bare as brass in the shadows,
And the endless eyeless patterns where each thing seems an eye....
And my stride is on Caesar's sand where it slides to the English meadows,
To the last low woods of Sussex and the road that goes to Rye.
In the cool and careless woods the eyes of the eunuchs burned not,
But the wild hawk went before me, being free to return or roam,
The hills had broad unconscious backs; and the tree-tops turned not,
And the huts were heedless of me: and I knew I was at home.
And I saw my lady afar and her holy freedom upon her,
A head, without veil, averted, and not to be turned with charms,
And I heard above bannerets blown the intolerant trumpets of honour,
That usher with iron laughter the coming of Christian arms.
My shield hangs stainless still; but I shall not go where they praise it,
A sword is still at my side, but I shall not ride with the King.
Only to walk and to walk and to stun my soul and amaze it,
A day with the stone and the sparrow and every marvellous thing.
I have trod the curves of the Crescent, in the maze of them that adore it,
Curved around doorless chambers and unbeholden abodes,
But I walk in the maze no more; on the sign of the cross I swore it,
The wild white cross of freedom, the sign of the white cross-roads.
And the land shall leave me or take, and the Woman take me or leave me,
There shall be no more Night, or nightmares seen in a glass;
But Life shall hold me alive, and Death shall never deceive me
As long as I walk in England in the lanes that let me pass.

The worlds of city economic development and youth development came together for a brief shining moment last week, at the LA Live! entertainment complex in Los Angeles. Dense new residential and commercial development in and around the complex brings verve and people well into the evening, many nights each week.
With oversize statues of LA sports heroes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wayne Gretzky looming across the street at the hockey-strike-darkened Staples Center, dozens of Angelenos took to an ice rink fitted out for the holidays. "Not quite Rockefeller Center, but fun," commented a New York native on the scene.
Skating action stopped for ten minutes as City of Los Angeles Councilmember Jan Perry joined complex developer AEG in recognizing the Los Angeles Conservation Corps (LACC) and in particular its corpsmember of the year, Ibrahim Francis — on a red carpet rolled out on the ice. Huge LED screens described the many environmental and educational contributions of the LACC, the nation's largest urban corps which works very closely with the City of Los Angeles and many other partners.
Ibrahim, it turns out, finished high school and earned two college scholarships while working with LACC. Interviewing for an internship with California State Parks, the agency offered him a job on the spot — no internship needed! The award and the recognition stand as testimony to Ibrahim's hard work and to the support LACC and its partners offer to him and several hundred other young people each year.

Law Society of Scotland gets a new President, business as usual. JAMIE MILLAR, a partner with Edinburgh Law Firm Lindsays has taken over from Ian Smart as the new President of the Law Society of Scotland after what has been seen as one of the most problematic periods yet for the Scottish legal profession, who are facing everything from eventual regulatory reform to increased competition in the still-solicitor-monopolised legal services sector.
While the Law Society of Scotland have been kind enough to publicise the change of presidency by focussing on the usual self congratulatory messages, what Drumsheugh Gardens chose not to reveal was regulatory record, or the amount of client complaints made against the law firm of Mr Millar.
Lindsays bought up Borders law firm linked to Law Society-Penman scandal. Lindsays, who, on their website describe themselves as " a highly-regarded Scottish law firm. We combine high levels of service with legal expertise to tailor the best possible outcomes and results for you, your business, or your family." purchased a law firm based in Jedburgh, named Turnbull Simpson & Sturrock in early 2007 which were heavily involved in the maladministration of my late father's estate by Borders solicitor Andrew Penman of Stormonth Darling Solicitors, Kelso, which used to be a partner firm to Turnbull Simpson & Sturrock until the Scotsman newspaper began reporting on the Law Society cover up of my complaint against Mr Penman.
The Law Society's Philip Yelland personally handled complaints against Penman & Sturrock. As the Scotsman continued to report on the Law Society's whitewash of the complaints against Mr Penman, Turnbull Simpson & Sturrock's senior partner, Mr David Sturrock took over the administration of my late father's estate, only to make the actions of Mr Penman and the accountant/executor Norman Howitt (still working as an accountant at JRW Group) much worse, resulting in several more years of financial damage & negligence which was carefully swept under the carpet by the Law Society of Scotland in the true cover up style we have all come to expect from lawyers investigating themselves.
Jedburgh based Turnbull, Simpson & Sturrock – Complaints of poor & negligent service to clients were whitewashed by Law Society of Scotland. Equally many other complaints made against Turnbull Simpson & Sturrock by locals in Jedburgh & the surrounding area received a similar whitewash treatment, but as with many Borders firms, they only continue to survive because locals have no one else to use when it comes to legal services, hence you can get a situation where one day, someone brings a large ornate gold mantle piece clock into a jewellers for valuation, allegedly owned by a solicitor, but which in reality was stolen from a house of a deceased client whose will was being handled by that very same solicitor who claimed to own it .. and nothing done about the incident (& many others) by the Law Society or the authorities, although in the case of the clock, it was apparently returned to the family after the conscientious jeweller told the relatives of the deceased … (details ring any bells ? – PC)
So, don't expect any changes at the Law Society of Scotland this coming year which might benefit consumers, clients of solicitors, or anyone seeking redress or justice against 'crooked lawyers' … its more a case of 'business as usual, burn the client for as much as you can, and if you do anything bad we will let you get away with it' but you expected me to say that anyway, because its always the case with the Law Society … business as usual …
If you are in the Borders looking for legal services and want any recommendations, well .. I wouldn't recommend any legal firms in Jedburgh – simply, you'd be much better off just opening your front door and letting the burglars walk into your house .. because you can expect the same treatment if you take on any of the town's law firms as your legal representatives …
The Law Society of Scotland's announcement of their latest President, Mr Jamie Millar :
New President of the Law Society of Scotland
Jamie Millar, a partner with Lindsays solicitors, has become the President of the Law Society of Scotland.
Mr Millar (61) has been vice-president since May 2009, and was the Society's Treasurer for three years before that. He has been a member of the Council for six years and served as a member of a Client relations Committee for seven years from 1997.
A trainee with the then Tindal, Oatts and Rodger, Mr Millar qualified in 1973. He was a partner with the firm from 1975 to 1986. From 1986 to 2006 he was a partner at Bishops and from 2006 he was a partner at Brodies.
Jamie has over thirty years experience as a corporate lawyer specialising in acquistions/mergers, joint ventures, trade associations and corporate governance.
"The Legal Services Bill has been the major focus for the Society in the past year and will continue to be in the coming months as the Society looks at how it could regulate the new business models as well as supporting the profession during their introduction.
"The Society is continuing its modernisation programme to meet the profession's needs now and into the future, and with that the profession continue to be consulted and asked for feedback as we develop services which will support them during this challenging time.
"Scotland's solicitors play a major part in Scotland's economy and I would like that to be recognised. The Society will continue to promote the profession to attract business to Scotland and enhance our economy."
One of the key areas of work the Society is focusing on is the implementation of its review of education and training in 2010-2011.
Thursday 27 May
To sum up the latest President, his own quote seems appropriate : "Scotland's solicitors play a major part in Scotland's economy and I would like that to be recognised. The Society will continue to promote the profession to attract business to Scotland and enhance our economy." - Yes they certainly do, although not always in an honest manner, as the complaints statistics over the years have & continue to illustrate ...

I want help with this ...
This is the code, and i have taken 4 questions initially... and applied the input method to only question 1 ... i want the input scanner variable of question 1 to be stored in a variable with automatic numbering as the for loops runs till 10 my variable name changes so that i could later call the same question again and compare the answers with if condition ! for example i'm taking 10 inputs for "write 10 colors names" :
i want those inputs.. to be used later again
lets look at it step by step..
1. Show randomly 1 question out of 10.
2. The question's answers should be 10, for example .. write 10 colors, write 10 countries!
3. when the user enters all 10 answers,the program should again display the same question and ask the user to repeat the answers which he/she entered earlier !
4. If the user manages to write the answers in correct sequence in which he entered earlier, the program should add +10 score for each correct sequence answer.
import java.util.Scanner; public class Game { public static void main (String arg[]) { java.util.Random r = new java.util.Random(); int a = r.nextInt(4); int abc[] = null; if (a==0) { System.out.println("Write 10 color names: "); Scanner question = new Scanner(System.in); for(int i=0; i<10; i++) abc[i] = question.nextInt(); } else if (a==1) { System.out.println("Write 10 city names: "); } else if (a==2) { System.out.println("Write 10 contry names: "); } else if (a==3) { System.out.println("Write 10 vegetable names: "); } for (int g=0; g<10;g++) System.out.println(abc[g]); } }

Clemson City Police reported that over 10,000 customers of Duke Energy in Pickens County lost power last night due to a fire. No word if Virginia Tech is a customer.
According to Clemson officials, it does not appear that the campus ever lost power. Power was eventually restored to the rest of the city around 11:00 p.m, not too long after Clemson smoked Virginia Tech 38-10 to win the ACC championship.
