Illinois will receive $605,000 from a $16.7 million payout by Boston Scientific Corp. that settles allegations of potentially life-threatening defects in implanted devices designed to jump-start failing hearts.
Illinois will receive $605,000 from a $16.7 million payout by Boston Scientific Corp. that settles allegations of potentially life-threatening defects in implanted devices designed to jump-start failing hearts.
As part of the settlement, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan said Boston Scientific subsidiary Guidant Corp. has agreed to put in place safety programs and do first-ever public reporting of problems in the devices Guidant manufacturers.
The settlement would resolve a lawsuit Madigan filed Thursday in Sangamon County Circuit Court. She has asked Circuit Judge Patrick Londrigan to approve a proposed consent decree.
Madigan and attorneys general from 34 other states and the District of Columbia alleged that Guidant waited until 2005 to tell doctors and the public that it had sold defective implanted defibrillators in 2002 and 2003, even though the company knew the products had problems.
About 150 Illinois residents were among those who received a total of 4,000 Guidant defibrillators with an alleged defect that could prevent the devices from working properly, according to lawyers from Madigan's office.
It's unknown whether the defect caused any of those 150 people to suffer medical complications or death, the lawyers said.
Guidant admitted no liability in the settlement, which expands a warranty program for patients who may not have already sought free replacement defibrillators. All patients with the potentially defective devices were notified in 2005.
The $605,000 for Illinois will reimburse the attorney general's office for costs associated with the investigation, said Debbie Hagan, chief of Madigan's consumer-protection division.
But Hagan said the settlement is most important because it establishes public reporting of defects and other safety measures — including an independent patient-safety advisory board — affecting one of the world's largest makers of implanted defibrillators.
"This is what we think is going to move the market along," she said. "We have brought physicians and the public into watching this process."
The settlement is separate from a tentative $195 million settlement that Boston Scientific agreed to pay last month to resolve 4,000 claims in a Minnesota-based federal class-action lawsuit involving faulty Guidant heart devices.
Hagan said she didn't know whether any of those 4,000 claims involved Illinois patients.
Boston Scientific also faces other pending lawsuits in the United States and overseas over its heart products.

By Kathleen Finck, Esq.
We all want our lives to have significance. We want to leave a lasting impact on the people we love and the world in which we live.
The search for significance leads many to consider their legacy. A bequest in your will is one of the easiest ways to leave a legacy that will make a difference far into the future. Your legacy might include support for a charitable organization through a bequest.
Statistics show about 41 percent of Baby Boomers do not have a will. Do most people need a will? Many people have personally experienced problems after the death of a loved one who didn't have a will. One of the biggest problems is how to divide up your loved one's belongings, whether it's a house, a car, jewelry or money.
A will can save your loved ones money, time and, most importantly, the anguish of trying to guess what you would have wanted.
A charitable gift by will is one of the easiest ways to continue to support the causes you love. Many people support their church, school, or local charity with small gifts while they are alive. They don't give larger gifts because they need their assets during their lifetimes. By leaving a gift in your will, you can continue to support those charitable causes you love and perhaps give them larger gifts.
Donors can support charities and community through a bequest without using assets they might need during life. So it's an easy way to leave a significant gift to charity. Charitable bequests have significant tax benefits as well.
The San Antonio Area Foundation can benefit the donor who wants to leave money to a specific charity or cause because the San Antonio Area Foundation's mission is to fulfill donors' charitable intent. We will establish a fund named for the donor to benefit the community, per donor's instructions, in perpetuity.
The San Antonio Area Foundation hosts free Wills Workshops twice a year to provide information about the basics of wills and estate planning. If you would like to register for our workshop on Friday, Nov. 8, 2012, scheduled from 8 to 10 a.m., contact me at 210-242-4744 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Attorney Kathleen Finck is Director of Gift Planning at the San Antonio Area Foundation.


text: Jon Smith, Executive Director of the French Market Corporation, began his presentation with the French Market's historical background and significance. As he moved into more current topics, Mr. Smith explained the shops along the French Market are "local mom and pops with a lot of foot traffic," and that approximately 80% of current stores and products are locally owned/made and provide a large source of revenue for the city of New Orleans. He went on to discuss the 2014 Farmers Market announcement and mentioned that with Farmers Markets in urban areas, there is a 12 to 1 multiplier effect. Mr. Smith touched upon some other aspects such as parking and the management of the newly renovated Crescent Park, and closed the meeting with upcoming goals. The French Market District is striving to rebrand, but keep products homegrown and homemade, be a local alternative to shopping for residents and tourists, connect with the modern consumer, and finally to create a business incubation for local businesses to drive real estate development and increase profits for the city.

Here are the WEEKLY DEALS for May 20-26...Looks like it is time to stock up on ribbon!
I personally love the ribbon and love to add it to my cards and projects. It lends dimension and just an added focal point. Not all cards need ribbon, of course, but I sure am glad that I have it handy for when I do need it.
BLENDABILITIES!! - I am officially in LOVE with these NEW MARKERS!! Each color comes in a 3 pack of light, medium and dark. What I used on this pretty flower is Coastal Cabana and Daffodil Delight. They will be available to purchase June 2nd when the NEW Catalog goes live!! Start your wish list NOW!
I added some highlights using my Signo White Gel Pen. I loved the way it made it "pop". The NEW stamp I used is called BLENDED BLOOM and after using the BLENDABILITIES it makes the flower look as if it is 3 Dimensional.
What else is coming up? I'm planning to do a RIBBON SHARE again this year with the NEW In-Colors and the NEW ribbons offered in the NEW Catalog. More details to follow.
MORE? YOU BET! However - I am holding off on my Open House until my craft room is complete so I might be having it closer to when the HOLIDAY CATALOG os released. It is just too much to work around.
CARD CLUB: We have one more month on this rotation of CARD CLUB and you can sign up to be in the next CARD CLUB starting in September. We meet on the 3rd Monday of each month. You are required to make a minimum purchase of $15.00 and it is a 10 month commitment. One of the months you will be the hostess and receive the hostess credit FREE product. You are guaranteed $25.00 in hostess dollars where you can choose anything you want including the exclusive Hostess Stamp Sets. I already have 8 lovely ladies signed up! So there is room for 2 more. If I get enough for 2 classes of 10 ladies each, I will revisit that and most likely include a second CARD CLUB that will meet on another night. How perfect would that be!!??
NEW CATALOG - I have a FREE one for you!! When you come to a STAMP A STACK CLASS, a Tuesday COME STAMP WITH ME CLASS, or a PROJECTS CLASS you will receive one for FREE!! For those of you who do not live in my area and cannot pop in for a class I will gladly send you a copy when you place an online order. Just click HERE to get started.

the Dog Climb
Madelyn's room gets the best light in the house. So I have no problem spending most of my day in there watching her destroy it. Gracie has no problem with it either and thankfully she doesn't mind the baby climbing over her as her main work out/play activity.

Bath Time
We can't choose a favorite time we have with M Cubed but bath time is getting more and more fun because she's getting more adventurous. Plus it's funny to see her bend down to drink the water and come up looking like Santa Claus. We're so thankful she loves the water.

WASHINGTON -- Riding a wave of national publicity fed by her six-month quest for the presidency, U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann took in the biggest haul of campaign cash of any Minnesota politician in the past three months, most of it from out of state.
Facing what could be a well-funded challenge from DFL millionaire businessman Jim Graves, the Minnesota Republican has turned to a nationwide base of donors built over the course of her Tea Party-tinged run for the GOP presidential nomination last year.
A Star Tribune analysis of her most recent financial reports shows that up to 80 percent of her reported contributions came from individuals outside Minnesota, up from 63 percent in a similar study done in April 2010.
In the first election where well-funded independent groups will have a free hand in spending on the state's most competitive races, Bachmann is not the only candidate casting her net far and wide via the Internet to bolster her campaign's finances.
U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat facing her first re-election contest this year, has received 44 percent of her individual contributions from out of state since she took office in 2007.
Much as in the hard-fought recall election of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the latest financial reports from Minnesota tell the story of a growing nationalization of competitive state and federal elections, with money pouring in from coast to coast.
Bachmann's $1.9 million fundraising total for the second quarter of this year ranked her second in the U.S. House, bested only by fellow Tea Party activist Allen West, R-Fla., who pulled in $2.2 million. Bachmann's take exceeded that of Klobuchar, who raised just under $1 million over the same period.
Both demonstrated the power of incumbency in reaching a national base of donors, even if their high-visibility track records provide fodder for their cash-poor challengers.
"It should come as a surprise to no one that follows Senator Klobuchar's votes to bail out Wall Street that three of her biggest financial supporters would be lawyers, lobbyists and Wall Street fat cats," said Mike Osskopp, a spokesman for GOP challenger Kurt Bills, whose $243,000 fundraising total for the past quarter was less than a third of Klobuchar's $950,000.
Klobuchar said that support from outside the state is inevitable on the national political stage. "You're always going to get some money from within your state and outside," she said. "But I think it is very important to have strong support within your state."
Klobuchar noted that her average contribution in the last quarter was under $100.
In contrast to Bachmann, Graves got only about 15 percent of his contributions from outside Minnesota. Graves spokesman Donald McFarland cited Bachmann's presidential run and Tea Party activism for her huge fundraising advantage over the DFL challenger, who raised $400,000 in the past quarter, including $150,000 of his own money.
"She spent the last year going around the country, focusing on her celebrity," McFarland said. "She's been everywhere but in the Sixth District."
The Bachmann campaign did not respond to a request for comment on her out-of-state split, but in announcing her latest numbers, Bachmann emphasized her more than 40,000 contributions averaging less than $45 apiece. "It just goes to demonstrate her widespread appeal," said Bachmann campaign manager Chase Kroll.
She received at least $1,100 in itemized donations from every state in the union except Idaho, according to the newspaper analysis.
'Always been about money'
Bachmann's 2010 opponent, former state Sen. Tarryl Clark, got 38 percent of her itemized contributions from outside Minnesota that year. This quarter, in her bid to challenge GOP freshman Chip Cravaack, Clark raised her out-of-state portion to 64 percent, according to numbers her campaign released Monday.
While Cravaack has more than a three-to-one advantage over Clark in cash on hand, he raised about 85 percent of his funds from Minnesotans. The same is true for DFL-endorsed candidate Rick Nolan, who faces an Aug. 14 primary challenge from Clark and former Duluth City Council President Jeff Anderson.
Anderson, far behind in the money chase, got 96 percent of his money from within the state.
"Modern-day elections have always been about money," said Nolan, who served three terms in Congress between 1975 and 1981. What's changed, he said, are the increasingly large sums involved, which force candidates to expand their fundraising networks. The Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision lifting restrictions on independent political expenditures has also raised the stakes, he said.
The far-flung hunt for campaign cash could also reflect the disparities in wealth between different states and congressional districts. "Just look at Minnesota," Nolan said. "The Eighth District [in northern Minnesota] doesn't have anywhere near the money that the Third District [western Twin Cities suburbs] has."
Staff Writer Jim Spencer contributed to this report. Kevin Diaz is a correspondent in the Star Tribune Washington Bureau.

The crime drama Meeting Evil, (currently available through Magnolia Ultra VOD here prior to the film's theatrical release on May 4th) follows John (Luke Wilson), a depressed suburban family man and recently fired realtor, who offers to help a stranger named Richie (Samuel L. Jackson) with his car. Upon doing so, John is quickly sucked into a nightmarish murder spree that forces him to go to any length he can to protect his family.
During this recent exclusive phone interview with Collider, writer/director Chris Fisher talked about how this project came about, why it was important that the characters live in a grey area, what led him to Luke Wilson as the lead, and how intimidating Samuel L. Jackson's professionalism is. He also talked about being the producing director on the Syfy series Warehouse 13 (he's directing six of the 20 episodes for the next season), how he's going to direct a couple episodes for Season 2 of Person of Interest, and how he would sell his soul to direct an episode of HBO's Game of Thrones. Check out what he had to say after the jump:
Collider: How did you first come across this novel by Thomas Berger and what made you decide to turn it into a film?
CHRIS FISHER: It was actually brought to me from another director, who is not a writer. He approached me and asked me if I would consider adapting something for him, way back in 2005. He had seen my movie, Dirty, and said, "I have this neo-noir that I want to adapt. Would you consider doing it?" At that time, I was mostly just looking to do my own thing, so I said, "Probably not, but I'll read the book." Then, I read the book and it just got totally underneath my skin, so I said, "Yeah, I'll take a stab at it." Ironically, I found out that, after working for free for a couple months, he didn't even own the rights to it. So, I was like, "Oh, shit, man! Pretty much all I've accomplished, at this point, is copyright infringement."
I did something that was not the safest thing to do, but I wrote a letter to the novelist and just said, "Hey, I've written this script and I don't have the rights, and I'm a struggling independent filmmaker. I'm not going to have the money to option this in a legitimate way. Would you read my script and work with me on this?" That was before I started doing my TV work. And, he responded super-positively. He liked the script and he liked the direction I took it in. It was quite different than the novel, and he was very generous, as far as allowing me some creative breaths to expand and change some of the themes. That's how the project happened. It was awesome. I sent him my letter and the script, and I'm a little bit more eager than my agents. When I called them and told them I had done it, they were like, "No, you didn't! He's just going to hate it! They always hate it!" Like most great things in life, his response was unexpected.
Was it important to you that the hero had anti-hero elements and the villain had heroic moments, to have the story live in that grey area?
FISHER: That was the part of the novel that I fought for the most, in making this movie. I loved the point of view of an average, everyday guy, at best, who's been hit with the fate stick. I wanted to keep that down-and-out, loser point of view, and I had to fight really hard for that. People always say, "Why doesn't John do this? Why doesn't he just get out of the car? Why doesn't he tell Richie to F-off?" And I'm like, "Well, he's a spineless wimp. He makes compromises, all day long. He has no integrity. He has no backbone. He cheats on his wife. He can't stand up to anybody." My argument to keep it the way it was, was circular in the sense that I was just saying, "Look at the way it is. That's the character." And, Richie was this villain that flew off the page. I was like, "I know everybody is going to relate to this guy. The audience is going to be so drawn to this guy, just as I was, when I was a reader of the novel."
I haven't talked to Thomas [Berger] since he was sent the movie, but I'm hoping that those are two of the things that he's going to enjoy, as well. We were able to keep this anti-hero point of view, and we never, ever let John become anything remotely heroic in the movie, which has frustrated a lot of audience members. And, our villain was absolutely this charismatic superhero. He really was a messenger of truth to John's world. He appears to be evil, and to John he is, indeed, evil. Certainly, he's not the most altruistic of entities, but he is of John's own creation. In a very real sense, John conjured this being. Richie and John are very symbiotic.
What was it that led you to Luke Wilson for the role of John?
FISHER: He was somebody that I thought about when I was writing it. I've always been a huge fan of his. He's just so innately likable. I knew that, to create a character who was going to be making the sort of mistakes that John was making, people had to like him. He had to be a guy they'd want to go get a beer with or go throw a baseball with. Speaking to Luke as a human, as much as an actor, he had to have an innate likability. So, Luke was always in my mind, for that reason. And then, the practical side of things was that he and Sam [Jackson] were friends and they've always wanted to work together. Sam was cast before Luke. When we got a shortlist from the financier, of people that they thought would get the movie made, he was, by chance, on that list.
We didn't make formal offers for that character. We went to agencies and said, "Here's the shortlist we have, do you think any of these people would be interested in doing this?" I was expecting him to say, "No, I'm not interested in this." But, in my mind, he was someone that I was very interested in, and he was really excited about it. I felt really lucky to have him. The only thing I would have thought would have been more interesting would be to have the roles switched. I would have been interested in seeing Sam playing the sad sack and Luke playing the maniac. If I had pulled that off, then that would have been brilliant. But, as is, the attributes of the actors really played well into the characters, as written in the novel.
What was it like to work so closely with Samuel L. Jackson? Was he intimidating, at all?
FISHER: He was intimidating, in so far as his professionalism is at such a high level. He showed up for the read-through and he was off-book. The first time I spoke with him, he had read the novel multiple times and he was so inside the script. He was ahead of me, as far as creating the backstory and the subtext for this character. I had heard that. Clifton Collins is an actor I've had the fortune of working on a few different movies with, and he and Sam are very close friends. He said, "Just be on your A game with him," so I was. But still, to have someone of Sam's caliber show up for a read-through and be off-book was mind-blowing.
Do you have any idea what you're going to do next? Are you looking to continue to balance a film and TV career?
FISHER: I'm booked on television for the next year. I've really lucked into this amazing job as the producing director of the Syfy show Warehouse 13, which is this goofy steampunk show that shoots up in Toronto. It's been an amazing experience for me. It's a really visually exciting show. It's a really fun show to work on. The cast and crew is exceptional. I'm directing six of the next 20 episodes, until mid-November. I know people always get excited about this stuff, but it's just one of the most fun shows to work on. The light-heartedness and the humor of the show really translate to the floor. We ruin take after take because we're laughing so hard, behind the monitors. The uniqueness of that show lies in the ability to both be visually exciting science fiction, and then tonally just be a really funny thing to watch. And then, I go direct a couple episodes of Person of Interest, the J.J. Abrams show. So, I'm knee-deep in sci-fi television. Except for being knee-deep in sci-fi film, it's the best place I could live. I'm really enjoying myself.
Is there a show that you watch, that you'd love to direct an episode of?
FISHER: I would kill to do Game of Thrones. I've already sold my first child, so I can't do that, but they can have my soul, for sure. I can't imagine how amazing that would be!
What led you to want to be a director? Did you just always want to be a storyteller?
FISHER: I did, but I really just wanted to be a writer. It was my dream to be a writer. For my undergrad, I studied film writing and philosophy at USC, and then I went to law school after that. Law school gave me an extra three years to grow up and, I hope, develop a voice, as a writer. I sold my first script when I was 28, and it was getting produced when I was 29. I attached myself to it as a producer, just with the intention of being a writer and producer, and not being a director. Once I got to the set, it just seemed like it was so much fun. I also realized that nobody was going to care about my scripts as much as I was. If I could learn the skills and learn the craft, I thought it would be a fun thing to do. I went had my own little film school and bought every book on directing I could and studied the films of directors who I admired, and then I found myself directing a movie for Sundance, the next year. I definitely lucked out.

Clippers dodge sweep, Bisons blanked
A home run barrage and seven shutout innings from spot starter Paulo Espino helped the Columbus Clippers top the Bisons, 5-5, avoiding a four-game sweep Tuesday night at Huntington Park.
Buffalo managed just two hits, but Jordany Valdespin continued his hot streak with a third-inning double, his fifth with Buffalo.
On the series, Valdespin went 6-for-18 with four runs, seven RBI, a home run and two doubles.
Pat Misch (7-9) pitched into the seventh with a 2-0 deficit, but a two-run homer by Cord Phelps took away Misch's bid for an 11th quality start.
Misch allowed four earned runs on five hits over 6 2/3 innings with four walks and three strikeouts.
Espino started in place of scheduled starter Zach McAllister, who Cleveland called up before the game for his second major league start.
He allowed Buffalo's only two hits on the night with no runs over seven complete innings with seven strikeouts and no walks.
Jared Goedert homered for the second consecutive day and third time in the series, giving the Clippers a first-inning 1-0 lead over starter Pat Misch.
A second solo shot, by Jerad Head, doubled the Columbus lead in the fourth.
Perfect eighth and ninth innings by relievers Luke Hagadone and Josh Judy, respectively, sealed the Columbus win.
Game Notes: The Bisons could have avenged a four-game sweep by the Clippers June 11-14… The loss cuts Buffalo's win streak at four. The Herd hasn't won five straight since August of 2010.

A solid investment
The economic impact of space spending is boosted by a multiplier effect: every €1 invested in space returns an average €6 to the wider economy. So space contributes to growth, employment and competitiveness across many economic sectors, while also being largely immune from outsourcing:
Direct revenues 17% These direct revenues represent only the tip of the iceberg of the total financial impact of space on the economy.
Indirect revenues 47% The indirect revenues of the space sector include the purchases made by and labour supplied by companies providing input to the space manufacturing and satellite services industry.
Induced revenues 36% The induced revenues account for the increased spending that results from the industry's existence; for example, a space engineer's increased spending on goods and services.

Can Health Care Make Society More Productive?
Health care is a form of human capital. Considered in the broadest sense, health care encompasses public education and prevention services as well as the delivery of care when illness strikes. As such, it is actually one of society's critical means of keeping our population productive. Canadians can't afford productivity losses. The Conference Board of Canada reported last year that our productivity level has fallen to 80 per cent of the U.S. level from a high of 90 per cent in the mid-1980s. If we can agree that efficient health care is an enabler of productivity and that productivity is key to wealth, the next steps should be easy

Taganrog Bay or Taganrog Gulf is the northeastern arm of the Sea of Azov. At its northeast end is the mouth of the Don River. It has a length of about 140 km, is 31km wide at the mouth, and has a median depth of about 5 m.
The surrounding land belongs to Ukraine (upper left quadrant) and Russia (remainder of image). The bay generally freezes from December to May; however in this image taken in late April, it is completely clear of ice and its waters appear tinged green with sediments.
Its mouth is marked by the Dolgaya Spit on the south and the Belosaray Spit (Belosarayskaya Spit) on the north. It abounds in sandy spits that partly enclose shallow bays. The Rivers Don, Kalmius, Mius and Yeya fall into the Taganrog Bay.

There's lots of crazy, over-the-top elements in the just-released Dead or Alive 5. Clown cannons, giant elevators of death and tanks blasting away in he background… all these things happen while the brawlers of Team Ninja's latest fighting game are vying for victory. And you can't win all the martial arts matches all the time.
Here's how it looks when some of DOA5's characters wind up down for the count, captured by Kotaku's own Chris Person. Pro tip for Brad, pictured above: Maybe fighting and drinking isn't really working out for you.
Rig looks like he's bowing before his attacker's superior prowess. Or doing push-ups to get psyched for a rematch. C'mon, man. You're the new guy. Rouse yourself and kick that guy's ass.
Inside Armstrong's head: "Why did I agree to another one of these tournaments? Jeez, that really hurt. My insurance may not even cover this!"
Kokoro doesn't look hurt so much as badly out of breath after her loss. Some more roadwork should get your endurance right up, ninja warrior. And, hey, at least those cherry blossoms look pretty.
Eliott looks depressed in a vaguely emo way. I think he's going scribble some bad poetry into his diary when he gets home later.
Zack? He just looks like he got kicked in the unmentionables. Take your time getting up, dude.

Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) announced today that it has designed and delivered a custom connectivity solution for an expanded data centre, owned and operated by iomart Group plc, one of the UK and Europe's leading cloud companies. The solution utilises Corning's Pretium EDGE® housings with OM4 high-density, 96-core fibre cables for backbone, and individual 6-port LC cassettes.
Jochen Lorenz, vice president of Enterprise Sales EMEA for Corning, said: "Corning is proud to support iomart's pioneering decision to deploy Cisco's BiDi technology with our OM4 Pretium EDGE solution. This state-of-the-art facility is a shining example of what can be achieved by technology leaders working together in defining the datacentres of tomorrow, today." The new facility features the first major deployment of Cisco® Dynamic Fabric Automation (DFA) and Bi Directional (BiDi) Transmission technology.
UK Home Secretary The Rt. Hon. Theresa May MP recently opened the extension to the data centre in her Maidenhead constituency. She said, "Data centres are an important part of the global economy, so I'm delighted to be opening this new facility for iomart. The technology on show is impressive and will allow businesses to be better connected than ever."
Angus MacSween, CEO of iomart, stated: "We are delighted that The Home Secretary has officially opened our next generation data centre and seen first-hand the technology involved in creating the infrastructure needed to support the dynamic and ever-changing web hosting and data storage needs of SME and enterprise business."
The new 1500 square metre extension to iomart's Maidenhead data centre took 12 months to complete and has capacity for 630 racks.
Neil Johnston, Group Technical Operations Director for iomart, said: "The challenge was to make sure that all 630 racks within the seven data halls of the facility are capable of catering for every network requirement, for all business groups, encompassing both initial and rapid future expansion as and when required. The end result has more than achieved this."

Malama Wao Akua 2019
November 1, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
An event every day that begins at 9:00 am, repeating until November 8, 2019
September 13, 2019 – November 08, 2019:
Malama Wao Akua 2019. Hui Noeau Visual Arts Center in collaboration with East Maui Watershed Partnership (EMWP) brings you Malama Wao Akua (Caring for the Realm of the Gods) – a juried art exhibition celebrating the native species of Maui Nui (Maui, Lanai, Molokai, Kahoolawe). We invite Maui artists to explore our watersheds and use their creative talents to raise awareness about the importance of protecting native species.
Selected artwork should be successful in sharing knowledge of the watersheds and native species with others in a meaningful way. Artwork will also be selected based upon a number of criteria, including originality of concept, creativity, technique, professionalism, and presentation. Our hope is that Maui artists of all ages will explore our watersheds and express the value that native species have within our daily life. This exhibition is sure to provide powerful visuals that celebrate Maui's native plant and animal life. A jurying team with expertise in both art and conservation will select from among the pool of entries. Works in any medium are welcome with entry divisions for elementary school, middle school, high school, and adult!
Hui Noeau Exhibitions are made possible with support from the Hawaii Tourism Authority.

For Immediate Release
AirTran Employee Sentenced for Bypassing TSA Security with a Machine Gun
ATLANTA - Rasondo Maurice Norris, who attempted to smuggle cocaine and a Mac-11 machine gun onto a commercial flight has been sentenced to ten years in prison.
"Security screening at our airports is vital to keeping citizens safe," said United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates. "By using his credentials to bypass security with backpacks of contraband, the defendant tried to allow drugs and a machine gun onboard a commercial flight. Public safety is a responsibility we take seriously, and our office will continue to prosecute those who are endangering our citizens."
"The defendant abused his position to enrich himself without any regard for the harm that could have resulted from his actions," said Brock D. Nicholson, special agent in charge of HSI Atlanta. "HSI special agents will continue to work closely with our partners at Hartsfield-Jackson to ensure the safety of the traveling public."
"As an integral part of the David G. Wilhelm OCDETF Strike Force, IRS Criminal Investigation is proud to have worked with our Strike Force partners to pursue this individual who disregarded the public trust for his own financial benefit." stated Special Agent in Charge, Veronica F. Hyman-Pillot. "IRS Criminal Investigation not only enforces the nation's tax laws, but we also take particular interest in cases where the public is at risk due to unlawful activity."
According to United States Attorney Yates, the charges, and other information presented in court: Norris, 30, of Stone Mountain, Ga., worked as a baggage handler for AirTran Airlines at the Hartsfield Jackson International Airport. In May 2013, HSI Special Agents learned that, for a fee, Norris would help people engaged in criminal activity bring contraband onto airplanes by using his security clearance to bypass TSA security.
On or about May 23, 2013, an HSI Special Agent, acting in an undercover capacity, gave the defendant a backpack containing what was represented to be five kilograms of cocaine. Norris took the backpack from the undercover agent, bypassed security, and returned the backpack back to the agent once the agent cleared security. In a similar manner, on May 30, 2013, Norris again bypassed security with a backpack, this time containing what was represented to be $500,000 in drug proceeds. Finally, on June 5, 2013, Norris once more bypassed security with a backpack carrying what was represented to be three kilograms of cocaine, and a Mac-11 automatic firearm (which had been previously rendered inert by law enforcement agents), a magazine and a silencer. Norris was paid between $600 and $800 each time he bypassed security with the contraband.
Norris admitted in court that he violated the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport's security measures by bringing the Mac-11 machine gun, silencer, and magazine past the TSA security checkpoints and that he attempted to possess five kilograms of cocaine in the airport.
Norris was sentenced by United States District Judge Steven C. Jones to ten years in prison. Norris was convicted on October 10, 2013, after he pleaded guilty.
The agents who investigated this case are assigned to the David G. Wilhelm OCDETF Strike Force and are employed by the following law enforcement agencies: the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation; and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Assistant United States Attorney Kamal Ghali prosecuted the case.

So here's Adele accepting her award. And, well, some sh-t went down:
She's thanking her people and her fans, and the host, James Corden, at the direction of the directors and producers in the truck, interrupted her for the next performance. She graciously thanks him and wraps it up...and then she sticks her middle finger up in the air.
Adele explained her gesture afterwards as follows:
"I was about to thank the British public for their support. They cut me off, sorry if I offended anyone but the suits offended me. I got cut off during my speech and flung the middle finger. But that finger was to the suits at the BRIT Awards, not to my fans."
You know what's amazing about Adele though?
She threw up the finger and the network AND the Brits actually APOLOGISED TO HER.
Statement from ITV: "The BRITs is a live event. Unfortunately the programme was over running and we had to move on. We would like to apologise to Adele for the interruption."
Statement from the BRIT Awards: "We regret this happened and we send our deepest apologies to Adele that her big moment was cut short this evening due to the live show over-running. We don't want this to undermine her incredible achievement in winning our night's biggest award. It tops off what's been an incredible year for her."
Anyone else flips off the audience and they rain piss all over them. Adele does it and ... she is DEFENDED. Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to criticise Adele, no, no, never. I LOVE that she got away with something a lot of others would never have gotten away with. If this had been someone else, we would all be bitching that while she was wronged, there had to have been a more acceptable reaction...
So in class today, at the Faculty of Celebrity Studies at a liberal arts university in New England, we'd be discussing how Adele did that so much better than the rest. Is it as simple as being so naturally endearing and authentic with the talent to back up her personality? Is that part of it in combination with something else? Let me put this out there, just to stir up some sh-t: if she looked any different, would the result still be the same? Fame and Celebrity require two way participation. In some cases, how we react to Fame and Celebrities says just as much about us, as the audience, than it does about them.

Remember Me
Order the New FoodMover
What is a FoodMover, Richard? You have no idea how many times I hear that question! So, let me introduce you to my FoodMover...
As many of you know, I grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana. I was surrounded by the foods of the French Quarter. Fried Oyster Po'Boys ... Pralines ...Jambalaya...gumbo... Muffalettas...beignets! You name it, and we could deep fry it! And restaurants! Did WE have restaurants! Even if you've never been to New Orleans, I bet you've heard of some places like Antoine's, Arnaud's, Brennans, Commander's Palace, Galatoire's, Cafe DuMonde, or the Court of Two Sisters? See! I knew you'd heard of our food!
Oh what fabulous foods we had in New Orleans! And my parents were BOTH fantastic cooks. And boy did I EAT! I can't say I didn't know how to eat...because I CLEARLY knew how to eat. I ate and ate and ate.
I was 200 pounds by the eighth grade, and 268 pounds by the time I graduated from Cor Jesu High School. But what I didn't know was how to eat properly. I didn't know proper portions...and I didn't know how to balance all my food groups. And I didn't know how to get my body moving and get in my Cardio, and Toning, and Stretching. And that's what I had to learn.
Losing weight is not about punishing yourself or giving up all the foods you love. It's about learning to balance things in your daily life, and learning to be accountable.
You already know how I finally learned to enjoy my exercising. I danced to music I loved! And that turned into my DVD workouts that I share with you now... like Sweatin' to the Oldies, and Party Off the Pounds. I want you to learn to love to exercise the way I love to exercise. Now, where was I? Back to what I was saying about the eating...
Many of you have heard me talk about how I first learned to eat properly. I wrote out all my portions I was allowed for each day and listed those foods on pieces of colored construction paper...each day as I ate, I would move my pieces of paper to track my eating, and that turned into something I was very proud of... a set of cards called Deal A Meal. I know a lot of you remember it.
Well, over time I kept updating Deal A Meal...and it eventually became my FoodMover. But it still teaches you how to eat with proper portions, and how to eat with balance. Now you just close your FoodMover windows instead of moving cards. And that's what my FoodMover is... it's the latest version of my healthy eating plan. It teaches you how to eat healthy, and then guides you along the way, whether you are using it to lose a little weight, or to lose a lot of weight...and when you reach maintenance, the FoodMover is there to guide you too.
When you order my FoodMover Program, you get my fabulous Royal Purple FoodMover to track your foods each day, you get your calorie cards (you use these to set your FoodMover to the proper calorie level), and you get two booklets.
The first booklet is the Instructions and Blast Off Food Plan. It helps you figure out your goals, and teaches you what your calorie level should be. It also guides you through the first week of my program, which I call Blast Off. In fact, I have menus planned out for the whole Blast Off week if you'd like to use them. Or, if you've already got the hang of things, you can choose your own foods.
Then, the second booklet is the Exchange Guide and Meal Ideas. This is the booklet that really teaches you about your foods. The foods in this book are divided by Food Groups. You look up the food you want to eat, and this book tells you what windows to close. Then, in the back of the book we teach you more about what your windows are worth. Soon, you will be able to break down your own recipes you make at home, or figure out how to count restaurant foods based on the information they post on their websites. You'll still be eating great foods... it's all about balance, portions, and accountability.
AND, the FoodMover also gives you a place to track your water intake, and it reminds you to get in your exercise and vitamins. With the FoodMover, you don't have to keep track of calories, fat grams, and carbs. You can focus on your food choices instead of math problems! Nobody wants to have to do Algebra to figure out their meals. Right? And you may have heard me talk about my Six Steps? I talk about them in the Love Yourself and Win DVD. Or maybe you've heard me mention them in person, or here on my website. Well, my FoodMover reminds you of those steps each and every day as you close your motivator windows.
What's different about the 2009 FoodMover? Well, for one thing the booklets have cute new pictures of me! LOL! But we've also updated our food exchanges to agree with the latest information we have. We've added a condiments section to help you figure out some of those little odds and ends you may have been wondering about. AND, this time, we've added an alphabetical index in the back to help you find those foods. I know sometimes maybe you aren't sure what food group something belongs in. So now you can just look it up in the index!
So there you go...that's what my FoodMover is! I know a lot of you already own my Sweatin' DVD's. So you're already movin' your body with me. Won't you move your food with me too?

Book 3, Canto 1 Stanzas 20 – 30
From the forest, the PC is thrown into the midst of a small village in the plains surrounding Castle Joyous. Though the path to Castle Joyous is, indeed present, the road is blocked with construction, leaving the player at the hands of the villagers, who are in desperate need of assistance. It would seem as if the Lady of Castle Joyous, has neglected the villagers' cries for help and has left the town completely isolated. Those townspeople with weak minds and souls have already left the town for the hedonistic castle of Lady Malecasta, leaving a handful of loyal and chaste villagers to deal with the problems. With no one to rely on, the town has fallen to a destitute state, being attacked by both wolves and bandits alike that emerge from the forest at night.
As the player enters the town past a rundown barn and two already abandoned watchtowers, the player witnesses the ruins of a once busy town square. A worried innkeeper is fretting over his dwindling food supplies that are continuously being pilfered by a wolf pack that has taken residence in an area of the forest near the town. Meanwhile, a small group of villagers are holding a meeting at the town well, discussing the bandit situation. While these villagers face these pressing matters, the rest of the village also holds a fair share of menial tasks that the townspeople cannot do alone. A small girl has lost her chickens around the town square and a young boy wishes that he could retrieve his family heirloom from one of the bandits.
While the menial tasks are up to the player to decide, the wolf and bandit situation, however cannot be left alone. Something must be done. Will the player pilfer the innkeeper's store and blame it on the "undefeatable" wolves or will the player banish the wolves once and for all? Will the player help the bandits destroy and loot the entire village or will the player remain good and repel their advances? Regardless of choice, it would appear that after these events the road opens to Castle Joyous, allowing the player to move forward of his or her journey.
However, the player encounters a struggle between the six knights of the castle and a sole, brave knight, Redcrosse. The player must now defeat four of the six knights in order to gain entry to the next part of the journey, and gain access to the hedonistic castle that is Castle Joyous.

Obituary - Ralph Girdwood
Gone is a man who lived and let live
Mapelepele - Ralph, or Mapelepele by his Swazi name, was born on October 2 1945, and was brought up and educated in Swaziland.
Like all young people, then as now, he was not over enthusiastic about the immediate choices of work and career prospects open to him. Although he worked on a sugar farm, on construction work, as a road surveyor and at some time obtained his pilot's licence, he had grown up as an outdoors lad, and spent most of his spare time at Mlilwane which his cousin, Ted Reilly, was establishing as a Game Sanctuary.
This eventually led to his being sent to Hlane Game Sanctuary to assist Ted, who had been appointed by His Majesty to supervise this large bushveld wilderness. In due course Ted was to write his own fitting tribute to Ralph. I will read it to you:
"Then as communications to Hlane improved and poaching problems grew, we seconded Ralph to Hlane to relieve the situation. He did an excellent job and he was absorbed later into the Mlawula operation with the National Trust Commission. Mapelepele was one of the earliest contributors to Swaziland conservation. Quiet, loyal, reliable and always there backing up a situation. Thank you, Mapelepele."
Ralph's stay at Hlane helped him to amass an enormous amount of knowledge on wildlife, indeed the whole flora and fauna of the bushveld. Unfortunately, most of his records were destroyed by the Domoina flood which swept away his camp site at Mlawula in January 1984.
However, he took this in his stride, as he did other misfortunes. Mlawula had been bought by the Trust Commission in 1979 and Ralph had the task, almost single handedly and with few resources, of developing the reserve. Most of the features of Mlawula which the visitor can appreciate today date back to those pioneering days.
He later moved to Malolotja Nature Reserve where he also made his mark. He was then appointed Director of Parks and Reserves. However, he was beginning to lose faith in the conservation ethic as he perceived it should be, and he resigned from the Commission in 1991, when with the help of a few friends he engaged in several business ventures. Although these were not particularly successful he carried on in his resolute way until he realised that the prospects of achieving long term viability were elusive.
Ralph then rejoined the Commission in 1996 as warden of the new Mantenga Nature Reserve and Cultural Village. However, because of his previous experience he was soon drawn into the wider works of the Commission and became Acting Director of Parks which post he held until the end.
Just a month or so before he went into hospital he had an operation to improve his eyesight, which had been deteriorating. This was instantly successful and gave him renewed confidence. It was tragic therefore that he was not to live to reap the reward of full sightedness.
Ralph was his own man who lived by the formula of live and let live. He was a gentle man whom I personally never saw aroused to violent anger. He was a concerned and balanced conservationist who has contributed much to the environmental welfare of Swaziland. His wide circle of friends will miss his quiet friendship.
I would like to conclude this short tribute by quoting an old saying, Welsh as it happens, not Scottish, which seems to express the suddenness of his leaving us:
"Death comes unannounced, abruptly he may thwart you; no one knows his features nor the sound of his tread approaching."
Farewell dear Ralph from all of us, you are in our hearts and minds for all time.
