yikes. I wonder what Bing would offer
I think you meant iPad (not iPod) unveiling.
And I prefer Google so much more than any other engine. Hopefully Apple sticks with them.
I do hope google stays on as default search engine
No zeal waffles
ya google is basically a verb now
go Google it
i googled it last night
never been to bing
ya google is basically a verb now
go Google it
i googled it last night
never been to bing
Google is my #1 search engine. Dang, that's a lot of money.
Google>All search engines.
Google is best b/c using it gives you access to sites that are vulnerable to attack and hack in to :P by using different mysql and mdb dorks
even if google was not default i would have made it default.
and google is not a verb ... people just use its name as a verb if apple was famous you would be saying go apple it lol nothing special
i even use with my co-workers a parody i made
"i'm a google it", "i'm a google it"
lol thats funny wat else would u use?? i wouldnt use yahoo or ask.com. Only other thing would be bing but everytime I go online first thing i do is google.com its something i dont even have to think about, my fingers just do it. Im sure regardless every1 would save google as the default search engine. lol come to think of it when i first saw the bing commercial I googled it xD google ownsss!!
LMFAO lol this is a nice one i haven't even seen the bing ad or their site yet.
Is bing literally like Microsoft Google? Beacuse if so, I'm sticking with Google, screw Bing!
Also might want to add on in the article that Google also pays Mozilla 57 million a year to make Google the default search engine in the search bar. Mozilla makes about 75 million a year in total revenue, so I guess Google's making enough to support giving up these millions.
Google is the best search engine. I have had some fun using the Bing App though, it's just something different.
Bing has far better multimedia results in comparison to Google.
Using the image search engine brings up relevant results when I'd have to alter my search 5-10 times to come up with what I would be looking for.
I've set all of my search engines to Bing, but then again I know people on the Dev team and have played around with internal MS builds of it so I have a good idea of what's on the horizon.
Google - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Ahh, the irony though if Microsoft had one of their services as a default on an apple product. IE Mobile will soon replace crappy Safari Mobile...Code:google One entry found. Main Entry: goo·gle Pronunciation: ˈgü-gəl Function: transitive verb Inflected Form(s): goo·gled; goo·gling -g(ə-)liŋ Usage: often capitalized Etymology: Google, trademark for a search engine Date: 2001 : to use the Google search engine to obtain information about (as a person) on the World Wide Web
Bing is better than Google when it comes to searching

Louboutin's Appeal Keeps Their Red Sole Trademark Safe for Now

You're not tired of this yet, are you?
With profiles of Anrej Pejic, Shala Monroque, the new Barneys, and much more.
Both lawyers plan to continue the battle.
A judge ruled that documents submitted by YSL in their defense must be thrown out of court.
Red-soled shoes are hilarious, obviously.
700 of them are Christian Louboutins.
The detective was also trying to dig up dirt on YSL, naturally.
"We just don't think that any fashion designer should be able to monopolize any color."
It was the largest in the site's one-year history, go figure.
Also, Berluti got a new designer.
With the very same red stuff they use to repair normal Loubs.

Community Memorial Hospital Campus
The Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Network at Community Memorial Hospital's Cancer Care Center is accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer and the American College of Radiology.
The Care Center is honored to have achieved the Outstanding Achievement Award from our accrediting body, the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. Cancer programs are surveyed every three years. A facility receives the Outstanding Achievement Award following an on-site evaluation by a physician surveyor during which the facility demonstrates a "commendation" level of compliance with standards that represent the full scope of a cancer program (cancer committee leadership, cancer data management, clinical services, research, community outreach, and quality improvement).
In addition, a facility receives a compliance rating for the remaining 29 standards. Sixty-six programs received this award as a result of surveys performed in 2007. This number represents approximately 15 percent of the programs surveyed during this period.
The Radiation Oncology program is accredited by the American College of Radiology-American Society for Radiation Oncology (ACR) for a three-year term (2012). Only 10 percent of the nation's radiation oncology practices achieve this distinction, and it represents the highest level of quality and patient safety.
The accreditation confirms the high standard of radiation oncology treatment provided at all sites served by the Medical College of Wisconsin radiation oncologists, It is awarded only to facilities meeting specific practice guidelines and technical standards developed by ACR and ASTRO after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified radiation oncologists and medical physicists who are experts in the field.

As I continue the series of posts asking "Are You Prepared To Buy A Bank Owned Home?" my purpose remains to help you get ready to buy a bank owned home! Daily I am met with new surprizes at the misinformation given to buyers about this process. I have been handling these types of properties for banks for almost 15 years, and I continue to be amazed at the self-labled experts that provide potential buyers bad information...in some cases really bad information.
There seems to be a line of thinking that a buyer can make an offer and not really have the cash or time to complete due-diligence on the property. In some cases the lack of time is legitimate due to the incredible competition for these properties among a dwindling supply. (Yes I said dwindling supply-despite record foreclosures. That whole topic is for another post and one I have to really take some time posting. I am liable to say something that might get me in trouble!)
Here is the basic lesson from this post. Terms matter...particularly with the market as it is today where most properties eventually are priced at a level where they attract multiple offers. So, if you are short on cash to pay closing costs, for instance, try to figure out a way to get those paid without asking the seller. It will place your offer at a competitive disadvantage. When it comes to cash concessions, banks use to see it in one way. How does it affect the net cash the seller walks away with? In the old days, prices of properties often were bid up to support the payment of these concessions. This provided a round-about way for a buyer to pay the costs created in obtaining a mortgage, by actually just borrowing more money! Today, values of most REO properties are much more subjective and critically reviewed. Often, a REO seller will prefer not to play these games for fear the property might not appraise. Learning this after a property has been off the market 2-3 weeks usually is not a good thing for a REO Asset Manager's job security.
I see many of these Asset Manager's taking the cleaner deal, with less concession requests even if the net is less. Multiple offers provide this opportunity to be choosy. Even if there are no other offers, I see these concession requests counter offered out. It just sends a message about the strength of the proposed purchaser. Remember the job security thing? Asset Managers for banks want deals that close..not ones that crash. Sometimes offers with requests of cash to help them to close says enough about the odds of ever closing that the risk is not worth it.
As I have stressed throughout this whole series..there are great opportunities in purchasing bank owned homes. The transaction though is different than buying from a traditional seller. A traditional seller is not faced with the job security or performance issue if your offer never closes. They still go to their job (hopefully they have one!) everyday and nobody knows that the offer they accepted on their house is going to crash. It will not affect their monthly bonus or worse yet, their next job assessment. This is why you want a nice, clean, competitive offer with plenty of evidence you can perform. Provide that and you stand the best chance of obtaining a great deal on a bank owned REO property!

LiveBlog: Oxfordshire flooding latest, Monday, January 13
Enable automatic updates every minute? YES NO
- Abingdon Road has reopened this afternoon
- The High Street traffic restrictions are back in force again
- Botley Road is open, but official work continues on some streets
- The floods continue to die down across the county
- More wet weather this week
Good morning. Same drill - click through for the new blog for Tuesday.
And we're also looking for nominations of people who have been a godsend during the floods. You can nominate via our Flood Hero form
The three remaining flood warnings for Oxfordshire are in:
-River Thames and tributaries at New Botley, New and North Hinksey and Grandpont in Oxford
The Environment Agency says: "River levels in the Oxford area are still high, but are still falling and will continue to fall slowly. The river remains sensitive to further rainfall. The weather prospects are to expect some showers this evening. Tomorrow will be a dry day with further showers throughout the evening."
- River Thames from Henley down to Medmenham including Remenham and Mill End
The Environment Agency says: "Water levels on the River Thames are still very high but are falling in the Henley and Medmenham areas. The river will continue to fall slowly but will remain high and out of banks for some time. Property flooding remains possible particularly in those roads closest to the river in response to the expected rainfall. The weather prospects are to expect some showers this evening. Tomorrow will be a dry day with further showers throughout the evening."
- River Thames from Shiplake to Bolney Court near Henley including Lower Shiplake and Wargrave
The Environment Agency says: "Water levels on the River Thames continue to fall slowly in the Shiplake area. The river will continue to fall slowly but is forecast to remain high and out of banks in places for some time. Property flooding remains possible particularly in those roads closest to the river. The weather prospects are to expect some showers this evening. Tomorrow will be a dry day with further showers throughout the evening."
There are only three flood warnings still in place tonight.
Clearing up after the flooding is the step many are now going through.
This is the advice on what to do from Oxford City Council:
"Floodwater affecting your home may have been contaminated with sewage, animal waste and other contaminants which may leave a sludge deposit.
"Harmful bacteria is present in sewage and may be present in clear flood water, which although it is very dilute can present a low risk to health."
As we get back to normal, here is an update on road closures in the county:
Lower Road, Islip
B478 at Playhatch
Clifton Hampden to Long Wittenham (High Street)
Wytham to Wolvercote road (under the A34 bridge)
Link road from A34 to South Hinksey village
Binsey Lane, Oxford
B4009 Chinnor Road at Aston Rowant
Road from A329 to Drayton St Leonard
Great Brook Road from Buckland Road to Chimney near Aston
@TheOxfordMail Botley Road by McDonalds has a lot of surface water covering one lane effected— @missrdavie 13 January 2014
Drayton Road, Sutton Courtenay and Tollgate Road, Culham now both open after flooding.— @OxfordshireCC 13 January 2014
100 people from Manchester have descended on Oxford to help with the clear-up. The voluntary department of the World Mission Society Church of God has been to the worst hit areas of the city - such as Binsey Lane.
Local and national organisations are to be invited to a 'flooding summit' on March 21 in the wake of the floods which crippled large parts of Oxford and the wider county last week.
Here's what councillor Rodney Rose, Cabinet Member with responsibility for flood risk management on Oxfordshire County Council, has had to say on the matter.
"We have now had significant floods two years running and four times in the last decade, so we may have to face up to flooding as the 'new normal' in Oxfordshire.
"That is why I want to make sure that all the relevant organisations come together as soon as possible to learn lessons from these floods. We need to agree how we can work together to reduce the risk to homes, businesses and the transport links that are vital to our local economy."
SERVICE UPDATE: Abingdon Road has now reopened. 16 & 31 services are now going back on normal routes.— @Stagecoach_Ox 13 January 2014
As of 1300, Abingdon Road has re-opened! All services are now gradually returning to normal route, though this may take some time.— @OxfordBusCo 13 January 2014
Godstow Road, Wolvercote; North Moreton to Wallingford road reopned after flooding http://t.co/du4poIp3UH— @OxfordshireCC 13 January 2014
London Lane, Ascott u Wychwood; Dry Lane Crawley; Minster Riding nr Old Swan Hotel ,Minster Lovell all reopened after flooding— @OxfordshireCC 13 January 2014
We're checking the official line on that tweet below, but looks like the route might be reopening.
@TheOxfordMail Signs have just been removed from Abingdon Road, looks like it's reopened— @DilligafOxford 13 January 2014
Binsey Lane, Oxford, this morning
The scene in Osney Court this morning showing a lot of last week's floodwater has cleared up
This picture, taken by Sue Such in Wallingford, shows some of the breath-taking scenes the flooding has produced.
Devil's backbone to South Hinksey now passable – if you can climb over flood barriers on Lake St @TheOxfordMail http://t.co/m9x7CUa5Uj— @StuartWigby 13 January 2014

Landfill and food waste collections will take place today on all roads missed due to flooding on Friday http://t.co/qhpGqi96Wq— @OxfordCity 13 January 2014
And there's good news from the EA for the Wolvercote area too. http://t.co/TQeZbjdK7u— @OxfordshireCC 13 January 2014
River Thames at Abingdon - positive news as regards flood warning status http://t.co/0k61JDOiAw http://t.co/9z3giHKgzQ— @OxfordshireCC 13 January 2014
@theoxfordmail There is a sign on the A420 at Botley Interchange saying Botley rd is closed. Who should be told to remove this?— @movyshoes 13 January 2014
@TheOxfordMail @OxfordshireCC Absolute madness that Abingdon Road is still closed. Just walked the length of it, no water. Please explain.— @AdamPMillgate 13 January 2014
The Mail understands that Abingdon Road could reopen this afternoon.
Flooding below Abingdon Bridge, looking towards Abingdon Cricket Club - an image from Brian Houghton:
Abingdon Road yesterday morning, as seen in this image from Tim Waker.
There are reports that Abingdon Road may reopen today. Inspections on the route are taking place this morning.
There are reports that motorists are turning away at Botley Interchange because an A420 sign still tells drivers that Botley Road is shut.
Barford Road between Barford St John and Barford St Michael now reopened after flooding. http://t.co/T5ywWPK9fJ— @OxfordshireCC 13 January 2014
@OxfordCity @OxfordshireCC @TheOxfordMail @106jackfm Have just cycled down Abingdon road. No water. open soon and buses back to normal??— @uk_darla 13 January 2014
Council offices across the county have also been affected by flooding, including Trading Standards, who are based in West Oxford.
A county council spokesman said: "Undeterred by this setback, many officers have been working remotely to ensure that consumer issues are addressed."
A heartwarming tale here from Jenny Shepherd from Botley:
"My husband came a cropper on his push bike on a very slippery surface under Oxford Station Bridge on Thursday around 1.00pm.
"He suffered a very nasty cut to his head: his cycle helmet took the brunt of it, otherwise it could have been even worse.
"He also severely lacerated his little finger on his left hand.
"A Good Samaritan in a white van stopped and helped him to his feet, and mopped up his injuries along with a passing lady's help.
"An ambulance was called and transported him off to A&E, and local police attending the flooding on the Botley Road helpfully took his bicycle back to his place of work.
"As hubby was a little dazed by it all he did not get the names of his helpers, so please could you pass on a great big thank you to all of them via your newspaper.
"Happily all is well with him, and he will soon be whizzing along on his bicycle again.
"Thanks also to his work colleagues for putting his bike back together again. As all we seem to see and hear these days is doom and gloom, it is so refreshing to find that there are still a lot of 'good guys' around!"
Again, not flood-related, but ties in with the general traffic situation today.... it's an update from Oxford Bus Company:
"city 8: Bus Stop Closure - Stowford Road, Barton.
The Stowford Road bus stop will be closed from 0900 on Monday 13th January for approximately 12 days. This is to allow roadworks to take place.
Please use alternate stops at Underhill Circus or Waynflete Road."
Not flood-related, but this update from Stagecoach Oxfordshire may affect your journey to work today:
"Stowford Road will be closed from 13th January 2014 for approximately 14 days.
Buses on the 8 route will follow the normal route to Underhill Circus then right onto Burchester avenue then left onto Edgecombe Road, left onto Bayswater Road and right into Wayneflete Road then back onto normal route.
Passengers are advised to use stops on Wayneflete Road and Fettiplace Road."
We've had pictures sent in by readers throughout the last few days.
Here are some pictures of Langel Common in Witney, taken on January 11 by seven-year-old Joshua Halcrow.
The following flood warnings remain in force in Oxfordshire - nine in total:
- River Thames in the Playhatch, Sonning and Sonning Eye area
- River Thames and tributaries at Wolvercote in Oxford
- River Thames between Newbridge and Kings Lock above Oxford
- River Thames in Abingdon
- River Thames and tributaries in the Binsey, Osney and Osney Island areas in Oxford
- River Thame at Dorchester
- River Thames and tributaries at New Botley, New and North Hinksey and Grandpont in Oxford
- River Thames for Henley, Remenham, and Medmenham
- River Thames for Shiplake, Lower Shiplake and Wargrave
This is the latest regional advice today from the Environment Agency. Note the lack of any specific warnings for Oxfordshire - although officials there are telling people in the Thames Valley area to remain vigilant:
"We are urging communities in Dorset, South Wiltshire, Somerset and the Thames Valley to remain vigilant for continued flooding from groundwater and rivers.
Flooding will continue along the River Thames over the coming days, with a potential flooding around the Chertsey Lakes. River levels along the Thames are now stabilising or falling in most areas.
Groundwater levels remain very high in many places. Flood alerts remain in force for West Dorset, Cranborne Chase and Salisbury Plain and a flood warning is in place for the South Winterbourne Valley.
River levels also remain high in parts of Hampshire, West Berkshire, Surrey, West Sussex, Wiltshire and along the River Severn in Worcester and Gloucestershire."
This lengthy post offers the latest available information from Stagecoach in the county:
"We are operating all services today. Botley Road in the city centre has now opened and we are starting to run routes 11, 66, S1 and X30 to their usual route.
"Due to road closures and the effects of flood water on the highway unfortunately we are still expecting delays again on Sunday and over Monday rush hour as our buses get caught up with the diverted traffic around the city centre.
"Currently Abingdon Road is closed into the city centre (Botley Road opened just before lunch time on Sunday). This should start to eas some of the congestion around the centre.
"We will be doing what we can to operate as many journeys as we can to timetable.
"We are sorry but buses operating on a diverted section of the route will not be stopping at the stops on the diversion. Only buses registered to drop off and pick up will do so.

The latest official line from the county council on Abingdon Road....
"The Abingdon Road is currently closed. There is no estimate as to when it could re-open. It will be re-opened when water has receded enough to enable this to happen. Flood water levels on Abingdon Road are being constantly monitored.
There have also been reports of drivers removing road closure signs on Abingdon Road and driving down it."
In terms of First Great Western services today, this is the only relevant information available so far on their website for the county:
"Planned engineering work will take place.
Between London Paddington and Oxford via Reading and Didcot Parkway
from 02:00, Saturday 28 December 2013 to 02:00, Tuesday 02 December 2014.
"Additional Information: Saturday to Wednesday - A revised train service with a reduced frequency will be in operation between London Paddington, Didcot Parkway and Oxford."
This is the latest information today from the Oxford Bus Company:
The Botley Road has now reopened and the City4, P&R 400 and Brookes Bus U1 are now back to their normal route.
The road through Kennington is now open again too. The City 2/5 services are running through to the railway station again.
Abingdon Road remains closed for now.
The details:
- cityX3/X13: diverting from Abingdon to Redbridge, Heyford Hill, Littlemore roundabout, Iffley Road, High St to the city centre. Leaving Oxford, services will operate the same diversion in reverse.
- city35: Travelling from Oxford along the Iffley Road to Redbridge then picking up normal their route
- park&ride300: from Redbridge to Heyford Hill, Littlemore roundabout, Iffley Road to the city centre. The reverse will apply for services operating from Oxford to Redbridge.
- city2: As a result of continuing floods and roadworks along Evans Lane, service 2A will operate via Oxford Road direct to Grovelands. Service 2 will operate via the Moors, High St and then Oxford Road en route to Oxford city.
Due to the considerable increased distance these diversions cover, services will be delayed.
@markje1979 @TheOxfordMail I used to work on Osney Mead and whenever those lights were out there was less traffic.— @ryanscott78 13 January 2014
...then operating via Heyford Hill, Littlemore Roundabout then Iffley Road to the city centre.— @OxfordBusCo 13 January 2014
city35: The road closure in Kennington has now been lifted, so city35 services are observing normal route until Redbridge...— @OxfordBusCo 13 January 2014
The road closure in Kennington has now been lifted, and city35 services are observing normal route.— @OxfordBusCo 12 January 2014
Reports this morning of street cleaners working on Abingdon Road.
Seacourt Park and Ride is now open again, although some spaces may be affected by flood water.
The traffic lights at the junctions of Botley Road and Ferry Hinksey Road are still not working this morning. They were down yesterday evening.
If you are driving in today, the High Street restrictions normally in place during working hours on traffic are back in force.
They were lifted when Botley Road closed.
Yesterday, some reacted with anger on Twitter to the news.

It's another beautiful day here in Key West.
We are officially under a tropical storm warning for "Bonnie", but there is nothing going on in our corner of the earth as of 10am EDT Friday July 23. Last night on my drive home to Big Pine Key, I spotted a Miami Channel 4 satellite truck headed down to Key West. Those Miami reporters love to stand on Duval Street with their rain slickers on and tell the world how Key West is bracing for another tropical event…. I guess they made the trip for nothing this time. On my commute back into Key West this morning I passed the Channel 4 truck again… on their way home to Miami where the "storm" actually went.
Bonnie looks like a quick rain event for Miami at worst. It's already inland over Miami this morning and is moving fast to the northwest. It will be past Florida and into the Gulf of Mexico by this afternoon. In Key West we're getting nothing but our usual beautiful, balmy breezes!
Reporting from Key Lime Inn, 725 Truman Ave, Key West.

Wal-Mart earnings: What you won't see
The retail giant's technology push won't show up in Tuesday's third-quarter results, but could be a catalyst for the stock.
By Jeanine Poggi, TheStreet
Wal-Mart's (WMT) U.S. same-store sales will once again be front and center when the discount giant reports third-quarter results on Tuesday. But there's another key element that will be mostly invisible, at least for now, in the results: its investment in technology.
Currently, Wal-Mart's e-commerce is severely lacking, representing less than 1% of total sales, according to Citi analyst Deborah Weinswig. But the No. 1 retailer has been pouring money into its new @WalmartLabs division, which has assumed responsibility for the company's growth in e-commerce, mobile shopping and social media.
"We believe that the creation of @WalmartLabs and the division's subsequent acquisitions should help drive increased online sales growth as we move into 2012 and beyond," Weinswig wrote in a note.
@WalmartLabs, which was launched in April as a product of Wal-Mart's acquisition of Kosmix, has been hard at work in the past six months. Its efforts started to take shape this week, with the company launching two mobile and iPad shopping applications. The new applications utilize budgeting and list tools, camera functionality and coupons to facilitate seamless shopping for users.

"We believe that the creation of its own proprietary app fits Wal-Mart's historical strategy and we expect Wal-Mart to continue to focus on creating products that enhance the shopping experience and blur the lines between its brick-and-mortar store and its online platform," Weinswig noted.
On Facebook, @WalmartLabs rolled out a massive marketing effort centered around Black Friday and the holiday season earlier in the month. The company will also unveil Shopycat, an application that uses data from activity and profiles on the social network to provide users (who opt in) with a list of gift suggestions based on their budgets and helps them locate these items online or in stores.
The 70-person @WalmartLabs team of engineers and researchers is expanding, with the company opening a software development arm of 100 employees in Bangalore, India. The new venture will develop applications to provide customers with the exact location of a certain item in the company's big-box stores and detailed product comparisons.
At the end of the day, Wal-Mart is attempting to build the ultimate retail channel, where offline and online commerce meld into one.
"I think the difference between online and offline is going to blur dramatically over the next two to three years," Venky Harinarayan, co-head of @WalmartLabs, told TheStreet in October. "For example, if I look at a product offline I'd like to see the same detailed page I see online. I'd like to know who else likes this product, what are the reviews, the people who bought this product what else did they buy. And what you expect offline, the whole three-dimensional experience, people are going to want to see that online."
This investment in technology will also allow Wal-Mart to make better use of its massive amounts of customer data.
"We have questions like it's now college football season, when should we start stocking products related to college football? If you can start looking at social media buzz it gives you a good sense of when people in your area are starting to talk about college football and that is usually a good time to start stocking products," Harinarayan said.
"It is going to be very important in the future for Wal-Mart to better localize inventory," says Brian Sozzi, retail expert and chief business development officer for Nothing But Gold Productions.
To gauge shoppers' response to multi-platform shopping, Walmart.com introduced two pop up stores in California at the beginning of the month that will remain open until the end of the year.
These stores, which are 1,000 and 3,000 square feet, carry a select mix of toys and consumer electronics. Shoppers sit down at stations to order and browse additional products from Walmart.com on tablets and laptops.
"These stores will allow customers to have one continuous experience and are a way to bring exposure to Walmart.com and see a different offering from the brand," said Lorenzo Lopez, spokesman at Wal-Mart.
There are no plans to further roll out these Walmart.com locations, but they will be used as a way to learn what customers want and to see how all of its innovations are meshing together.
Thus far, Sozzi says Wal-Mart's technology efforts have showed up in sales to a miniscule degree, but that will change as the company applies what they are learning both in the U.S. and globally.
"While 200 million customers already visit Wal-Mart's stores each week, we believe the company will leverage the use of social media and mobile networks to pinpoint individual preferences while the customer is in the store; provide targeted ads that they can redeem while they shop; and improve checkout time and convenience," Weinswig wrote. "We expect these improvements in the shopping experience to drive incremental sales in the future."
With Wal-Mart coming off more than two years of declining U.S. same-store sales, these efforts could be just the thing it needs to keep its traffic momentum going. For the company as a whole, the average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters is for earnings of 98 cents a share in the October-ended period on revenue of $108.1 billion.

The Lee County woman who was involved in the fatal crash on the Sanibel Causeway was arrested in a doctor shopping case. FDLE, FHP and the Florida Attorney General's Office have announced the arrest of 48-year-old Theresa Shirley of Bokeelia. She is charged with 12 counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud as well as withholding information from a practitioner - a third-degree felony.
Officials we spoke with say the case against her started in March of 2012 when FHP got in touch with FDLE asking for help with its investigation after Shirley was involved in the crash that killed bicyclist Tracey Kleinpell.
- Read more about the crash in the "Related Stories" section at the right. That crash happened on crash occurred on May 7, 2011. Shirley was driving on the Sanibel Causeway and drifted out of her lane, hitting Kleinpell and knocking her into the water.
A year later in May of 2012, Assistant State Attorney Anthony Kunasek said that after finishing a review of the warrant request submitted by FHP, no criminal DUI manslaughter or vehicular homicide charges can be filed.
Kunasek stated that in order for the state to prove DUI manslaughter, the state must prove Shirley was under the influence of alcoholic beverages, chemical or other controlled substances to the point of impairment.
But according to the FDLE lab tests, no alcohol was in her system. And the substances that were in her system had been prescribed and were within the usual therapeutic range.
Original reports also showed that none of the officers on the scene reported seeing any signs of impairment from Shirley.
And in order for the state to prove vehicular homicide, officials have to prove that Shirley was driving her car in a reckless manner that is likely to cause harm or death.
Falling asleep at the wheel is not enough to establish vehicular homicide.
But as FHP continued to investigate, troopers say they were able to find out that Shirley had gotten controlled substances from unknown doctors. FHP wanted FDLE's help to figure out what doctors she had gotten the pills from around the time of the crash.
During that investigation, FDLE was able to determine that Shirley had gone to seven different medical clinics and was getting similar controlled substances from doctors - some within the same 30-day period. Officials with FDLE said that between June 2010 and November 2011, Shirley was able to get 10,752 oxycodone tablets and 1,100 hydrocodone tablets. They say she was also able to get some hydromorphone and alprazolam during some of the visits.
Shirley turned herself into FDLE agents and FHP troopers Wednesday at the FDLE office in Fort Myers. She was taken to the Lee County Jail.

Telemarketing Fraud
Due to growing abuses by some telemarketers, new laws regarding telemarketing fraud were established.
These new laws not only amend the existing deceptive business practice statute to include additional fraudulent practices such as investment scams and bogus prize promotions, but they also provide for harsher penalties where an elderly victim is involved (18 Pa.C.S.) § 4107(a), (c).. A violation of this law involving amounts exceeding $2,000, or more than $200 for victims 60 years of age or older, constitutes a felony of the third degree. It is punishable by a $15,000 fine, and/or imprisonment of up to seven years for each count.
These amendments give the county district attorneys of the Commonwealth the authority to investigate and to institute criminal proceedings for deceptive or fraudulent business practices. This law also allows the Pennsylvania Attorney General to institute criminal proceedings for any such violation involving more than one county of this Commonwealth, or involving any county of this Commonwealth and another state.
State law enforcement officers now have the power to pursue fraudulent telemarketers who operate across state lines. During the summer of 1997, a joint investigation between the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office and the United State Postal Inspection Service resulted in the break up and arrest of a sophisticated Atlanta, Georgia based telemarketing ring which had defrauded numerous senior citizens in several states of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Victims of this particular scam were telephoned and told that they were million dollar sweepstakes winners. Names of legitimate organizations such as Publishers Clearinghouse and American Family Publishers, as well as names of celebrities commonly associated with these types of promotions, e.g., Dick Clark and Ed McMahon, were used to lend credibility to the calls. Prior to receiving their "winnings," victims were each told to send thousands of dollars to addresses in the Atlanta, Georgia area. This money was required, according to the telemarketers, to cover expenses associated with the award and delivery of the money, or to prepay taxes. Once victims complied with these requests, the telemarketers continued to contact the victims with additional excuses for demanding more money. The telemarketers would continue to call these victims until it was clear that no more money was forthcoming.
Common Scams
In addition to sweepstakes scams, other common schemes used by unscrupulous telemarketers include the following:
Prize Offers: You usually have to do something to get your "free" prize - - attend a sales presentation, buy something, or give out a credit card number. The prizes are generally worthless or overpriced.
Travel Packages: "Free" or "low cost" vacations that end up to be quite expensive with all their hidden costs. Or, they may never happen. You may pay a high price for some part of the package - - like hotel or airfare. The total cost may run two to three times more than you would expect to pay or what you were led to believe.
Vitamins and Other Health Products: The sales pitch also may include a prize offer. This is to entice you to pay hundreds of dollars for products that are worth very little.
Investments: People lose millions of dollars each year in "get-rich-quick" schemes that promise high returns with little or no risk. These could include gemstones, rare coins, oil and gas leases, precious metals art and other "investment opportunities." These turn out to be worthless or worth much less than what you paid.
Charities: Con artists often label phone charities with names that sound like better known, reputable organizations. They won't send you written information or wait for you to check them out with watchdog groups.
Recovery Scams: Be careful if you buy into any of the above scams, because you are likely to be called again by someone promising to get your money back. Don't fall into this trap. Even law enforcement officials can't guarantee to recover your money.
What You Should Know
Many telemarketers are now required to register with the Office of Attorney General, and secure a $50,000 bond in the event consumers lose money because of the telemarketer's activities. In addition, people who illegally seek payment or purchases in exchange for a fraudulent investment scam, a promised prize or a sweepstakes entry can now be subject to criminal penalties, including time in jail. The same is true for people who charge a fee up front with the promise of helping someone to recover money lost in one of these schemes.
Telemarketers are required to maintain company-specific "Do-Not-Call" lists. When you receive a call from a telemarketer and you wish to be placed on its "Do-Not-Call" list, simply say so. It is illegal for a telemarketer to call if you have asked not to be called. Such businesses are also restricted to making calls between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Finally, if you decide to hang up on a pre-recorded call, you must be able to regain use of your own phone for outgoing calls within five seconds of the hang up.
Consumers can avoid some telemarketing solicitations by sending their name, telephone number (including area code) and address to the Telephone Preference Service, Direct Marketing Association, P.O. Box 9014, Farmington, New York 11735-9014. Registration should reduce the number of unsolicited calls placed to your home or business, but it may not stop all calls. The Association supplies its "Do-Not-Call" lists to its members on a periodic basis.
Although calls from tax-exempt organizations, including political parties, are generally exempt from these requirements, you should be warned that for-profit telemarketers often make calls under contract for tax-exempt charities.
Unsolicited fax advertisements are prohibited and all faxes must clearly identify the sender's name and the sending facsimile telephone number.
All pre-recorded calls (made using automatic dialers) must identify the caller, including the caller's telephone number and address. Telemarketers must tell you it's a sales call, the name of the seller and what they are selling before they make their pitch.
Before you pay, telemarketers must tell you the total cost of the goods and any restrictions on getting them or using them, or that a sale is final or non-refundable. In a prize promotion they must tell you the odds of winning, that no purchase or payment is necessary to win and any restrictions or conditions of receiving the prize.
It is illegal for telemarketers to misrepresent any facts about their goods or services' earning potential, profitability, risk, or liquidity of an investment; the nature of the prize in a prize-promotion scheme; or any other information.
It is illegal for a telemarketer to withdraw money from your checking account without your expressed, verifiable authorization. Telemarketers cannot lie to get you to pay, no matter what payment method you use.

No Precedent, No Plan
In 1998, President Boris Yeltsin's government defaulted on its domestic debt and Russia experienced a financial meltdown that brought it to the brink of disaster. In No Precedent, No Plan, Martin Gilman offers an insider's view of Russia's financial crisis. As the International Monetary Fund's senior person in Moscow, Gilman was in the eye of the storm. Russia's policy response to the economic collapse stemming from the disintegration of the Soviet Union was chaotic. Fiscal deficits loomed in anticipation of future budget revenue that never seemed to materialize—despite repeated promises to the IMF. The rapid buildup of sovereign debt would have challenged even a competent government. In the new Russia, with its barely functioning government and no consensus on the path toward democratic and economic transformation, domestic politics trumped economic common sense.
Gilman argues that the debt default, although avoidable, actually spurred Russia to integrate its economy with the rest of the world. In analyzing the ordeal of the 1998 crisis, Gilman suggests that the IMF helped Russia avoid an even greater catastrophe. He details the IMF's involvement and underscores the unique challenge that Russia presented to the IMF. There really was no precedent, even if economist Joseph Stiglitz and others argued otherwise. In recounting Russia's emergence from the IMF's tutelage, Gilman explains how the shell-shocked Russian public turned to Vladimir Putin in search of stability after the trauma of 1998. And although Russia's own prospects are favorable, Gilman expresses concern that the 1998 Russian default could serve as an unfortunate precedent for sovereign defaults in the future with the IMF once again playing a similar role.
No Precedent, No Plan offers a definitive account—the first from an insider's perspective—of Russia's painful transition to a market economy.
About the Author
Martin Gilman, with the International Monetary Fund from 1981 to 2005, was the IMF's senior representative in Moscow during Russia's period of default and rebuilding. Currently Professor of Economics at Russia's Higher School of Economics, he lives in Moscow with his wife, the distinguished Russian journalist Tatiana Malkina, and their two children.
"1998 will go into history books as one of the most dramatic years in contemporary Russian history. Martin Gilman was at the very center of these remarkable developments, which makes his insider story such fascinating reading."
--Aleksei Mozhin, Executive Director for Russia, International Monetary Fund
"As both a direct participant in Russia's economic transformation and a level-headed, insightful analyst of it, Martin Gilman has written a truly unique book. No Precedent, No Plan highlights the critically important role of state weakness in explaining Russia's trajectory and, by opening up the 'black box' of the state for the reader, makes that often overlooked story compelling and eminently readable."
--Samuel Charap, National Security and International Policy Program, Center for American Progress
"Those who have a stereotypical view of what has happened in Russia since the collapse of the USSR will take no comfort from reading No Precedent, No Plan. Drawing on a unique combination of experience and expertise, Martin Gilman convincingly proves that 'the reality is more complex, and perhaps more troubling.' By putting the story of Russia's struggle for a market economy in broader international and historical context, he makes an invaluable contribution to our view of these critical years in Russia."
--Fyodor Lukyanov, editor, Russia in Global Affairs

Since Britney Spears kicked off her Piece of Me Las Vegas residency, she's welcomed several onstage guests, including Lance Bass and Mario Lopez . But on Tuesday night, a female star joined Brit on stage: Nicole Richie .
E! Online reports that Britney dedicated the song "Freakshow" to Nicole, who joined her for that particular segment of the show, which usually involves someone being forced to crawl around on all fours while Britney spanks them with a riding crop.
While we didn't see any photos of that particular moment, Britney did tweet, "Can we all give a round of applause to @NicoleRichie for playing along in the show tonight? U looked hot crawling on all fours ;)." She also tweeted directly to Nicole, "Thanks for dancing tonight!"
Nicole posted three photos on Instagram of her time with Brit: she's seen hugging Britney, posing with her backstage and accepting a Britney tee-shirt on stage.

Banana and peanut butter bundt cake with honey glaze
This simple banana and peanut butter bundt cake is incredibly moist, and perfectly sweet. It is naturally sweetened with banana, and then topped with a delicious sticky honey glaze, making it gluten-free, dairy-free, wheat-free, grain-free and refined sugar-free. You can also make this cake using almond and cashew butter which also works a treat. Make this recipe into muffins for packed lunches. This will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days - it will actually taste better the next day!
- Preheat the oven to 160C and grease a cake tin with coconut oil or butter.
- Place all of the ingredients in to a large mixing bowl. Using a potato masher, mash the batter until the mixture resembles a smooth paste. You could also place in to a food processor if you have one, and blend until smooth. I quite often do this if I am short on time. Pour the batter in to the prepared cake tin.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean once inserted.
- Allow the cake to cool completely. Once cooled, invert carefully on to a plate, and then drizzle with the remaining honey.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) About 500 Wisconsinites are registered to run in today's Boston Marathon -- which, of course, is more than just a 26-mile race. It's also a sign of a city's resolve to emerge stronger, after a pair of terrorist bombings killed three people and injured 260 at the finish line of last year's marathon.
Wisconsin runners say they share in that resolve. Anne Coffman of New Berlin -- who watched the tragedy unfold on T-V last year -- is among today's runners. She said the emotions didn't hit her until last Tuesday, when the first anniversary of the bombings was observed.
Yesterday runners attended church services in downtown Boston. Marquette graduate Cynthia Schwartz left with a blue-and-gold hand-knit scarf. She told W-T-M-J T-V in Milwaukee she was touched that somebody she didn't know would do something like that for her. Normally, the Boston Marathon has a limit of 25,000 runners. Today, they're letting 36,000 take part.
At least some from Wisconsin never got to finish last year's race -- and they want to complete what they started.
Neighboring Minnesota has 615 people running. Over 200 of them posed for a unity photo which appeared in yesterday's Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

Hi Doc!! Long time. Happy Holidays! I think Bella would have taken her life had Edward been killed by Victoria, but then again, maybe not. She might have been "afraid" to actually do it, but at that point, Victoria would have killed her anyway.
Got Eclipse for Christmas. So psyched!! Looking forward to more discussions.
Sorry I'm New. What book are we on
Akki (I HATE my full name!!!!)
I also agree that Bella was too scared to take her life,but I also think she was thinking of all who would miss her.Charlie,Jacob,Renee,and of course the Cullens.Somewhere deep down,she knows they would come back.And Akki,we're on New Moon.
Dear Isadora,
THE CULLENS!! What a great point.
EC, Q PP. "I already think of you as one of us.'
CC, Q: "We protect OUR OWN' (In reference to Bella)
As I was drafting this discussion I didn't consider that important point.
Yours, Doc
Dear Akkilynn,
This question would be related to "New Moon." But (after 200? some discussions we tend to "blend' the Saga story line.
Yours, Doc
Dear Lauralynn,
People certainly can die from broken hearts. We forget how powerful the mind is on the body. My father (a superb physician) told me that one time he was treating a patient in Africa I think. When a local witch doctor "cast a spell" on one of his patients. The "Voodoo practitioner told my dad's patient that his arm was going to die. My dad said that the patient's arm simply died and that there was nothing he could do to stop it. If it hadn't been my father telling me about the patent's course I simply would not have believed it.
I thought Bella did not take her own life because Edward told her not to. I believe that is what he meant when he told her not to do anything stupid, "for Charlie's sake". Now granted the whole point of getting the motorcycles fixed was to "cheat" on her promise to Edward, and she sort of got a kick out of knowing Charlie wouldn't like it as well. So I am a little surprise that suicide didn't at least cross her mind, and then her talk herself out of it for Charlie, the Cullens, Jacob, her mom, etc. If talking about the "zombie stage" I don't think that Bella had enough thought process to kill herself, most do not just accidentally kill themselves (and if they do then it is not suicide, but an accident) so she would need a plan, and I don't think she had the mental compacity during that time to form a plan and follow through with it.
Yes, Edward asked Bella not to do anything stupid, but if you remember he made her a promise that if she did that it would be as if he never existed. In New Moon when she gets on the back of the biker's motorcycle, she has a conversation with Edward's memory. He was reminding her of her promise on to do anything foolish. Her reply was," You promised that it would be as if you never existed at all. You lied." It's at that point when Bella declares that she feels no longer bound to the promise she made to Edward since in her eyes he has not lived up to his.
When you refer to the "zombie stage" I'm guessing you are referring to Bella's months that she was in a catatonic state. I can tell you, when people are in that "zone" they do have enough of a thought process to thing of suicide. In fact that is more than likely the number one thing that is on their mind. When you are in this state you have what they call racing thoughts which is where your mind latches on to one thought and it plays it over and over at supper speed and the person is so depressed that they don't have the mental strength to stop this thinking process so it just continues to get louder and faster. People who are this bad usually need hospitalization and medication and therapy to brake the cycle. Some are so far gone that it takes EST to disrupt the process and bring these people back to reality. These are the people that you hear about that loose months to years out of their lives because they aren't aware of time and the world as it goes on without them while their brain is turned in on it's self.
Even though she was mad at Edward because he "lied", I still she didn't try and kill herself because he told her not to.
I think that you described Bella's zombie time very, very well. However I feel that you supported my point rather than contradict it. If she only has one thought racing through her head, then I would assume that thought would be "he's gone, he's gone, he's gone, he's gone" because that is what she was mumbling when Sam brought her home.
Another thought that I would add to my reasons is that Bella typically thinks of others more than herself and committing suicide is extremely selfish and is not thinking of anyone but yourself. And that is just not Bella, she constantly puts others before herself. So I really do not see it being in her character to commit suicide.

All around the world today, people everywhere will be celebrating their relationships.
And here at PPS, we're no different. Except, it is a different type of "ship" we're celebrating. A partnership.
Two years ago today, began our recruitment partnership with Turning Point – one of the UK's leading Health and Social Care organisations. Since then, by Turning Point's own admission, we have become, "an integral part" of their HR team. In fact, it's hard to imagine a time when PPS did not fully manage Turning Point's recruitment function.
When the idea of working together first surfaced, Turning Point were on the hunt for a partner who was as forward-thinking as they were.
They wanted a "one-stop end-to-end" service for their recruitment managers and candidates alike.
They didn't just want quality hires – they wanted meaningful recruitment data and a sophisticated applicant tracking system along with it too.
Looking back so far, we'd like to think we're achieving this – and more (click to enlarge):
Aside from the facts and figures, here's what the people at both PPS and Turning Point had to say:
Melissa Moore, Recruiting Partner at Turning Point:
"PPS have worked hard to ensure the service they provide is suited to both the organisation and the applicants. We now have a seamless process that makes the PPS recruitment team an integral part of the wider HR team. PPS provide essential management information to both recruiting managers locally and senior stakeholders within Turning Point making them not only a resourcing partner but a strategic one too. The team are fantastic and are very flexible with their approach to our recruitment. "
Dave Beesley, Account Manager at PPS:
"The partnership between PPS and Turning Point has grown from strength to strength over the past 2 years. The key to our partnership so far is our shared desire to constantly evolve and improve as the recruitment world changes. Turning Point is an aspirational organisation – passionate about the service they provide. We share that passion about recruitment here at PPS – and that's important. Ultimately, we are very proud of our partnership with Turning Point, and I am really excited about the future."
Here's to a fruitful two years and many more to come, Turning Point!
Want to know more about the recruitment partnerships we share with our clients? Get in touch, tweet us, or chat to us on our LinkedIn page – we would love to hear from you!

Confession: I am not a huge Neil Gaiman reader. I respect his reputation, and I have enjoyed the Doctor Who episodes he's written. But other than Good Omens, the book that he co-wrote with Terry Pratchett, I have not read anything by just him. Until now!

I had just started reading James McBride's The Good Lord Bird when I heard it had won The National Book Award. I was pleasantly surprised to hear this because I had enjoyed the book from the beginning. The story centers on Henry, a child slave who is sort of "abducted" by abolitionist John Brown when Henry's father is killed in a skirmish between Brown and Henry's owner. Brown thinks Henry is a girl, partly due to the sackcloth he's wearing, and nicknames him Onion. The boy pretty much just goes along for the ride, but finds he's become fond of this incredibly strange man.
I chose this book, Vintage Kansas City Stories, because it looked interesting, and I was right, it is! It's a collection of news stories, ads, and jokes from the Kansas City Journal 1907-1909. I read with interest one particular story about a statue of Venus brought from Florence, Italy in 1907 that was supposed to be donated to the Kansas City School Board but they rejected it.
The recently released movie, Lone Survivor, is based on the New York Best Sellers, Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10. It is the true story of four Navy SEAL soldiers on a covert mission who are ambushed by the enemy in the mountains of Afghanistan. They are cut off from any support, and they confront unthinkable odds.
When you ask a Kansas City native where they live, their response is the name attached to their neighborhood or housing subdivision. Waldo is the neighborhood bounded by State Line Road to the west, 85th Street to the south, Troost Avenue to the east, and Gregory Boulevard to the north. It was named for one of its original residents, David Waldo, who ran freight on the Santa Fe Trail.
Mirabelle has grown up in what feels like a box. A loving, beautiful box...but a box nonetheless. Her godmothers are so over protective, they won't even let her visit her parents' graves! She can't shave with a razor, or use scissors, or drive a car, or or or... So, for her 16th birthday, she's got a plan. She's going on an adventure, and this time, no one is going to tell her she can't. By the time they figure out where she is, it will be too late to stop her. (Note: Do not try this at home, kids!)
Ishmael Beah was a child soldier in Sierra Leone. He wrote about his experience in his memoir, A Long Way Gone. When I read this work, I was filled with sadness that life could contain the evils he experienced. Now Beah has written a novel.
There are certain rules that characters on television shows must remember. Never say "nothing can go wrong," because the second that you do, disaster will strike. Never insist that you and your true love are about to have all of your dreams come true, because that is a surefire way to guarantee you both will end up miserable (or one of you will end up dead).
The Uncorrupted Heart: Journal and Letters of Frederick Julius Gustorf, 1800-1845 is a wonderfully written travel journal by an educated German gentleman who came to America in the 1830s. His desire was to investigate the German immigrants who had settled in Illinois and Missouri and to see how they were getting along in America. Gustorf also wanted to compare his experience with those of other German authors.
I recently finished reading Marisha Pessl's novel, Night Film. This thriller centers on Scott McGrath, an investigative journalist who's looking into the death of Ashley Cordova. Ashley, the 24-year-old daughter of the mysterious and infamous cult film director Stanislas Cordova, has apparently committed suicide in an abandoned warehouse. McGrath had investigated Cordova about five years before, believing the film director was into something illicit. This proved to be a humiliating mistake for McGrath.
