Not too confident in our late game half court offense.
Hmm lets just take a good shot
Why burn your last timeout?! You just got a free one from the review! Huh!
Lets hope they run a real offense here and not a fadeway 3.
It´s PG time to show to the world, he's the best player in the world
I am going to be honest. Pretty clear we are the better team. Win or lose. Atleast from what ive seen
Pick n roll between George and West?
God damn you Hill.
Yep so predictable. Ugh.
I immediately said get the ball out of George Hill's hands.
Hill is awful.

After a couple of hours I think I've finally found the settings for my NN5 with EOS 5D Mk II plus EF15 (fisheye).
Six shots round (60 degree intervals) in portrait orientation with the camera tilted down 15 degrees.
Lower rail set at 57mm and upper rail at fractionally under 80mm.
The attached preview from PTGui is what I'm looking for if I understand things correctly - a perfect circle with no "saw teeth".
I have yet to tackle the nadir adaptor, but there has been some good advice about it here recently - so I will work my way through that. I assume that using the nadir adaptor will not affect any of my settings?
Next task if everything's fine is to try a zenith shot and then have nadir fun!

The Central Michigan Enforcement Team arrested three people Thursday night in connection with a suspected meth lab at a home in the 400 block of West Riverside Drive, just outside the Ionia city limits.
A fourth person was arrested on an absconder warrant.
Arraigned Friday afternoon in Ionia County 64-A District Court were:
n Robert Edward Benjamin, 46, of Portland, who was charged with controlled substance – operating/maintaining a laboratory near specified places. His bond was set at $25,000 cash surety;
n Bradley Michael Forist, 23, of Ionia, who was charged with controlled substance – possession of methamphetamine. His bond was set at $20,000 cash surety;
n James Luttman, 23, of Ionia, who was charged with controlled substance – operating/maintaining a laboratory involving methamphetamine. His bond was set at $20,000 cash surety.
All three men pleaded not guilty. Their pre-trial conferences are scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Oct. 28.
Ionia County Undersheriff Charlie Noll said search warrants were executed around 8:30 p.m. after a CMET investigation. An ICSO K-9 team located evidence, and one of the suspects, in the woods behind the house.
The investigation is continuing, Noll said.
CMET is a multijurisdictional drug task force. Participating agencies include Big Rapids Department of Public Safety, Ionia County Sheriff's Office, Montcalm County Sheriff's Office, Newaygo County Sheriff's Office and Michigan State Police.
CMET was assisted in Thursday's operation by Michigan State Police, Ionia County Sheriff's Office, Ionia Department of Public Safety and Ionia County Central Dispatch.

Has this been the best woot-off! in over a year?
While I was busy working and now traveling, I did not have a chance to particpate in this woot-off!
But, I have to say, after looking at the items that have been offered, this is how woot-offs! should be.
A whole mix of everything, not just days of sectional items, but 1 woot category offering as much as they can, with a mixture of many different items.
I say, well done woot!
12 Answers answer
It's a throwback to the old days, and I like it!
I can dig it.
I think I have missed almost every minute of this woot off. The only thing I'm curious about is woot calendars did I miss them?
@gideonfrost: Have not seen any W00T! calendars.
I was going to go to sleep. Now I'll have to stay up another 55 minutes thanks to you.
Damn you!
And yes, a good W00T!-OFF. I picked up a few things I didn't need.
It's definitely one of the best in quite awhile. I didn't buy anything, but there has been a nice combination of items, including some great cheapo (less than $5) deals.
No difference here. I usually miss all the others too.
I bought a few things for the first time in a long time. Definitely one of the better Woot-offs.
too little too late. stopped paying attention to those many moons ago
where was that bag of crap that everyone talks about
@propaneman: Not there. It has been absent at every woot event recently.
It was a pretty decent Woot Off. I picked up a handheld scanner, a collapsible tunnel for my kittah to frolic in. I really, really wanted another shot at the Boogie Boards but, alas, they were not offered. I love the one I picked up that I never knew I needed.
The beauty of Woot: Buying random crap and falling in love with it.
@gideonfrost: Asked about the calendars on FB, was told they didn't have time to make them this year, so there will not be one. Shame, because this is what I use at my desk at work, and I got a lot of people into woot because they noticed that and my monkeys.

What are some ways I could interest my friends, girlfriend, parents, etc. to learn and use Linux? It's usually not feasible for them to let me install Linux on their computers, even for a dual boot. Are there other things to get them hooked?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
A good way to demonstrate Linux features and for others to play around with, is to boot off a live CD for your Linux distribution. That way no one has to worry about partitioning any hard drive or installing any (corrupted,evil) software until they eventually choose to go with it. The fact that it's for free to try out should make the choise easy. Make a couple of live CDs and distribute them. I suggest Debian or Fedora just show the basic features.
About getting them hooked - I'd show off some fancy looking desktop environments e.g. GNOME3, Openbox w. Conky or Compiz just to make the visual gap between Windows/MacOS smaller - in terms of user friendliness. After all, many non-technical people get scared away once they see a terminal, so be aware. From there there are tons of free, educational, multimedia and everyday-use software to explore. Most people use their computer for simple tasks such as browsing the web and office tasks. Using propreitary for this is expensive and unnecessesary. Linux provides the all features most people may ever require of an operating system, plus an extra feature called freedom.
I just put it in front of them and let them use it. I find that many people, while they do not hate it, are fed up with Windows OS. Some are put off with the price of a Mac. Let them experience a good windowing system, Gnome, KDE, Xfce, see how responsive it is. I used to have dual boot just to use Quicken. Many years ago I moved to GnuCash, haven't wanted to go back. There are plenty of apps on both systems.
Donate some free CD/DVDs as good will gesture, a free & alternative means to costly OS software installations, besides nurturing the OpenSource philosophy will fetch a long run of the productive and smart minds for better future generations in terms of using the technology.
This is more of a jokey answer but I believe its significant!

Really hard question. First of all you need to understand that you need to support this people after you interest them. From your list parents is easiest targets but you must to think about every single user as about single situation. Usually friends plays windows games, so you must show some good linux or crossplatform games and lie that they works much better there. If they just use browser you can lie that without antivirus their PC will work 50% faster and compose something else. For parents you can compose everything, maybe windows is an UFO system and they must use Linux to not afraid aliens.
Yes, you always must lie here, in my opinion. I have good experience with linux and use it often. even I know some great linux distribution maintainers and developers (I will not say names). BUT no one of them even me use linux as desktop. I don't want to discuss why not, it's really holy-war, but everyone lies. That must be much harder for you to find some real arguments for newcomers if even people who love and work on linux can't find them for themselves.

The Overscheduled Procrastinator
The Overscheduled Procrastinator is a highly-involved student and athlete and a leader among his peers who seems to have the world at his feet, but can never seem to get ahead, meet a deadline without a major meltdown, or turn down another social commitment.
Homayoun's Tip: Encourage your son to become engaged in activities that are meaningful to him. At the same time, help him to be mindful of not overcommitting himself, which means he will be unable to do anything to the degree he would like. Getting home at 9:00 or 10:00 every night is a recipe for an exhausted, low-functioning young person.

Patient/Family Led Sessions are break-out groups that allow pulmonary hypertension patients and their caregivers an opportunity to share their tips for managing the disease. They differ from Medically Led Sessions by having patients and family members (or caregivers) lead the panel discussions. These are practical discussion groups between the panelists and the attendees to help you improve your overall quality of life in spite of a PH diagnosis.
Life Hacks Life goes on after diagnosis. PH patients and caregivers share their tips for conserving energy to get the most out of each day from making "me time" to simplifying daily tasks. Come learn a few tricks from the panel and share a few tricks of your own.
Making Choices Choosing happiness is something that is possible to learn to do even with PH. Our panelists will help you learn to relieve the stress in your life and the life of your caregiver by sharing the techniques they use. They will help you understand how to move beyond the "grief" most of us experience when we or a family member are diagnosed with PH.
Insurance: a Maze or Amazing? Insurance can either be incredibly confusing or a lifeline to PH patients, but very often it's both. Our PHriends from Caring Voice Coalition bring their expertise to help you navigate.
Trains and Planes and Boats; Oh My! Does the thought of traveling with PH seem overwhelming? Join our panelists to discuss how all types of travel — even travel abroad — can be safely navigated. Panelists will lead a discussion on travel, including having a plan of action in case of emergencies while away from home.
The Power of Partnership How do caregivers renew themselves when exhausted? How can patients positively communicate their needs? Discuss with other patients and caregivers ideas and practices for a deeper trust and overall closeness. Ask questions and share your ideas and concerns with this inclusive panel who will enable us to learn how to give and receive better care.
Do You Think I'm Sexy? Pump up the volume despite the challenges of pills, pumps and the dreaded oxygen tanks! Find confidence in dealing with new friends, new social situations, and even new romantic interests. Discuss with the panelists and other attendees what to tell, when to tell, and how to tell about your PH diagnosis.
Building Your Ark: How to Create Your Own Support System Many medical professionals say that PH is a disease that cannot be managed by one person alone — so how do you find the support you deserve when it feels like it's all on you? This session is for PHers living alone or without the privilege of willing and able support networks. Learn about communicating your needs to friends and family effectively and reaching out to others through church, support groups, online networks and PHA. You are not alone in this journey!
Working and Higher Education with PH Find a way to continue working on a job or on a degree while keeping up your health. Our jobs and careers make up such a large part of our identity that few of us want to give them up — not to mention the need for income and access to health insurance. Hear how other PH patients manage to work or attend school. Join this discussion of workplace and educational rights and what you should or shouldn't tell your employer and fellow employees.
Living a PHit Life The constant quest to eat right, manage fluids and exercise well can get cumbersome and confusing. Your doctor will tell you what you need to do. Our panelists will lead a discussion on how to do it. Come discuss and share realistic tips and tricks on staying healthy while living with PH from other patients who have been there, too!
Doctor, Doctor. Gimme the News! Do you find it difficult to talk to your doctor? Are there things you forget to ask during your visits? This session is all about preparing for your appointments, staying organized, and coordinating with healthcare providers from PH specialists to Primary Care and everything in between. Come discuss how to ask the right questions when you meet with your healthcare team!
Family Planning with PH From surrogacy to adoption to fostering: When a woman in her childbearing years and her partner receive a diagnosis of PH, they also learn the difficult news that pregnancy in the setting of PH is dangerous and not recommended. Yet, many couples may still want to expand their family. In this session, panelists and attendees will discuss alternatives to high-risk pregnancies.
It's a Man's World Men with pulmonary hypertension are in a minority that can be doubly isolating. Generally, men respond differently to a PH diagnosis than women. This session gives panelists and attendees the opportunity to discuss issues for men related to developing or maintaining relationships, job loss, and the changing role a chronic and often debilitating disease has on men. (This session is open to men with PH and to men who are primary caregivers to someone with PH.)

Rated 2 out of 5 by Jeannemarie67 from Delyssa Quarter Strap Woven This shoe looked great online and seemed to be what I wanted for the summer so I ordered two pair, one in black and the other in tan. I was disappointed when they arrived. The shoes were much too bulky and heavy for summer comfort and looked very awkward with dresses. I drove many miles to a Rockport Outlet store and found the Emily Laser Cut T Strap which was much lighter and more comfortable. I liked the Emily Cut so much I wore them immediately and bought a second pair. Apparently they were last season but they were much better. I returned the Delyssa.

According to those that say the Avos kept the Torah beforehand (here), how was Yaakov allowed to marry two sisters?
(Yes, I'm aware that there are many answers)
According to those that say the Avos kept the Torah beforehand (here), how was Yaakov allowed to marry two sisters?
(Yes, I'm aware that there are many answers)
Please see Rav Moshe Feinstein's answer here (linked in the other thread).
He says the only reason one may not marry two sisters is the prohibition against קידושין (the preliminary stage of marriage) with two sisters and that קידושין did not apply to non-recipients of the תורה (and still doesn't).
The Lubavitcher Rebbe zt"l answers that the Avos' observance of the entire Torah was a personal stringency, which could not override societal norms that were generally accepted by the descendants of Noach. One of these was not to deceive each other (hence Yaakov could challenge Lavan, "Why did you deceive me?" and Lavan had to find an excuse - Gen. 29:25-26). Since he had promised Rachel that he would marry her, then he was obligated to keep his word, even though circumstances had changed.
I think I once heard something to the effect that before the Torah was given, it was permitted in chutz laaretz (outside of eretz yisrael / israel); once he came to Israel it was no longer permitted - and that was when Rochel passed away.
The Michtav MiEliyahu brings a very profound answer. The purpose of Torah is to connect to God. We say that Avos kept the entire Torah yet this is simply not possible. There are many sacrifices they never offered, they did not steal anything so they could engage in the mitzvah of restituting theft, etc. Therefore this must mean that through their exceptionally high level of spirituality they were able to achieve a dveikus with God that someone who kept the whole Torah as we understand it did. At this level Yaakov Avinu, a"h, recognized that it was part of God's plan for history that the 12 tribes come from these 4 particular women. Therefore even though for us such a marriage is forbidden for him it was meritorious because of the ultimate outcome. However, the MM notes that as soon as the 12 tribes were done being born Rachel died. And there was no delay. She died giving birth to Binyamin because once they were all there the special dispensation to marry two sisters no longer applied.
I once heard 'outside' a very interesting take on Yaakov marrying two sisters.
As the other answers have mentioned, the avos kept halacha, but voluntarily.
Yaakov loved Rachel, and Rachel loved Yaakov. One can only imagine how much flirting and starry-eyed glances transpired between Yaakov and Rachel, during the seven years that Yaakov worked for Lavan for the privilege of marrying Rachel.
(As an aside, no one need be concerned that it shows lack of respect for the avos to say that Yaakov flirted. He was engaged - he was supposed to look at his betrothed and feel a desire for her!)
So after seven years of yearning for each other, the wedding day comes. Yaakov wakes up in the tent in the morning, and behold! It was Leah!
Rachel has been anxiously awaiting the love of her life for seven years. She would be absolutely devastated if she couldn't marry Yaakov.
If the Torah had already been given, Yaakov wouldn't have any options. (Even divorcing Leah wouldn't help, because the aveirah is to marry two sisters, even one at a time, while the other is still living).
However, because it would hurt Rachel (and Yaakov) so much if they couldn't be together, Yaakov chose to set aside his voluntary observance for her.
This teaches us an important lesson.
Halacha is halacha. We must never compromise our observance of it.
However, sometimes Jews will keep a chumra, at the expense of someone else's feelings.
That is not correct. Another's feelings are more important than your unnecessary stringencies.
Or, as one of my teachers would say "don't be frum on the other guy's cheshbon".
Cut and Paste from an answer I gave at the other thread:
With regards to the questions and contradictions between the laws in the Torah and the actions of the Avot, R' Chaim Volozhin, in Nefesh Hachaim Sha'ar 1 Chapter 21, says that when our sages say the Avot kept the whole Torah (in this he included Amram as well, not just Avraham, Yitzchok and Yaakov), they didn't do so because they were commanded to do so. If they were commanded to do so, they would never violate any of the commandments of Torah. Rather they understood with the great Tikkunim that are accomplished by doing the Mitzvos, and the destruction the would be caused by them not fulfilling the Mitzvos. So they always made sure to do the actions that they understood that their souls would cause Tikkunim.
Therefore, when for example, Ya'akov Avinu saw that his soul could accomplish amazing Tikkunim in this world by marrying two sisters (since he understood that it was specifically through them that the Jewish nation would be brought into this world), he worked hard to make sure this happened. So too, Amram married his aunt so since he understood that doing this would bring Moshe Rabbeinu into this world.
And that's one of the reasons why the Torah wasn't given to the Avos, since if they already had the Torah, it wouldn't matter if they realized that great Tikkunim could be accomplished by going against the Torah, they would not be able to do so.
Ger shnisgayeir kekatan shenolad dami (Yeb. 97b). (A convert is like a newly-born baby.)
This means that when somebody converts, it is as if they are born anew, and that their biological parents are not their halakhic parents. This means that they were not sisters, and there would not be a problem in the first place for Jacob to be married to both of them. IIRC, I heard this from one of the Roshei Yeshivah of RIETS.
A practical ramification of this, I believe, is that converts are not obligated in Kibbud Horim to the same extent that people born initially Jewish are.
What the Rashba means is that Yaakov was able to ascertain with his great wisdom that according to the time and the place and the items (the two sisters), he was not forbidden to marry them.
mocdeg answered on another question over here:
Rabbi Eli Mansour explains that there is a special kabbalistic tikkun that had to be made by Yaakov marrying the two sisters.

Evidence-Based User Experience Research, Training, and Consulting
Homepages are the most valuable real estate in the world. Millions of dollars are funneled through a space that's not even a square foot in size. The homepage is also your company's face to the world. Potential customers look at your company's online presence before doing any business with you. Complexity or confusion make people go away. Of course, all other aspects of bad web design should be fixed as well, but if the homepage doesn't communicate what users can do and why they should care about the website, you might as well not have a website at all. That's why homepage usability is so important and that's why we wrote a book specifically about this one topic.
We followed on our own principles when naming the book. Most people should be able to figure out what a book called Homepage Usability is about. Two words, and you know the topic. (New Riders Publishing.)

1a.Objectives (from AD-416)
Identify and characterize differentially expressed serum proteins and peptides associated with poultry metabolic skeletal problems such as femoral head separation (FHS) and tibial dyschondroplasia (TD).
1b.Approach (from AD-416)
Sera collected from FHS and TD-affected chickens, along with normal sera, will be analyzed to identify differentially occurring proteins and peptides. Low abundance proteins will be enriched while high abundance will be depleted using a library of hexapeptide-based affinity matrix called ProteoMiner. The proteins will be analyzed by 2D gel electrophoresis and characterized by peptide mass fingerprints and tandem mass spectrometry. The peptides will be enriched by solid phase extraction on C18 magnetic beads and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The characterization of the peptides will be done using tandem mass spectrometry. The identification of both proteins and peptides will be done using MASCOT and/or other similar data base search.

Warehouse on Waterbury's Freight Street has lots of shingles, but few answers
WATERBURY -- For anyone curious about the large, flat-bed trucks moving up and down along Freight Street for the past two weeks, answers remain difficult to obtain.
The trucks have been delivering roofing shingles to PrimeSource Building Products Inc., a building materials distributor at 45 Freight St. An employee in the company's warehouse said this week that it's not unusual for the company to receive large quantities of shingles this time of the year.

Is there an easy way to install multiple liveCDs ont a USB drive? Specifically kubuntu and arch. I'm just wondering if there's an easy way to do this since both distros include their own boot loader when installed the way they suggest.
There is a guide to do exactly this on this question:
as the first answer. It answers it perfectly (assuming that I know what you are asking) and allows you to have multiple isos on a usb stick, by installing grub.
"YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer), is the successor to MultibootISOs. It can be used to create a Multiboot USB Flash Drive containing multiple operating systems, antivirus utilities, disc cloning, diagnostic tools, and more. Contrary to MultiBootISO's which used grub to boot ISO files directly from USB, YUMI uses syslinux to boot extracted distributions stored on the USB device, and reverts to using grub to Boot Multiple ISO files from USB, if necessary."

Fred R. Conrad/The New York Times
Louis Uchitelle has covered economics for The New York Times since 1987, focusing on business issues, monetary and fiscal policy and labor trends, particularly the unwinding of job security and the spread of layoffs. He originated and served as lead reporter for a series of seven stories published in March 1996 that explored the layoff phenomenon. The series, "The Downsizing of America,'' won a Polk Award.
He also is the author of "The Disposable American: Layoffs and Their Consequences,'' published by Knopf in 2006. He reported extensively on the Federal Reserve during Alan Greenspan's early years as chairman and produced, for The Times Magazine, the first detailed magazine profile of Mr. Greenspan's performance.
In the early 1990s, he spent weeks in Russia and Ukraine reporting on the former Soviet Union's plunge into capitalism. He was the only journalist from a major American publication sent to concentrate on the economic transformation then taking place.
Mr. Uchitelle was a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation in New York in 2002-03 and taught journalism for many years at Columbia University's School of General Studies. Before joining The Times, he worked for The Associated Press as a reporter, an editor and a foreign correspondent in Latin America. He and his wife, Joan Uchitelle, live in Scarsdale, N.Y. They have two grown daughters.

Read the full story: Deep Divisions
Brook's latest book, Saving the Neighborhood, is briskly written, with a cast of characters that includes jurists and activists, NAACP litigators and racially steering realtors, idealists, hustlers, the developer of Levittown, and playwright Lorraine Hansberry's father. It analyzes how racially restrictive covenants emerged as a lawful way to prohibit African-Americans ( as well as Jewish people and other minorities) from moving into white neighborhoods after the supreme Court outlawed racial zoning in the 1917 case of Buchanan v. Warley.

can I somehow take a screen shot of a google maps in a
HTC Desire on 2.1 (not rooted)
Only if you're rooted. See this answer: taking a screenshot of an android phone?
Try Map It!
It wont let you send anything from the Maps App, but the Map It! app uses google maps and lets you draw routes and put push pins into the map, then take a screenshot of it and send it via email or mms.
It's useful if you want to send a picture of a particular place on a map or some kind of mock up to a map, but it's no good if you're trying to send the route that you already mapped out in the seperate Maps app. To do this I believe you'd have to draw the route by hand on the map in Map It.
Also, you should note that it puts an add at the top of the screen (in the same way other apps do this) and when you take your screen shot it will show that add too. There is an Ad Free version that I haven't tried.

Buddies, Colleagues and, Prosecutors Allege, Inside Traders
A network of high-school buddies and former co-workers often talked on the phone about the "Fat Man," and giving each other their "vacation photos," but federal prosecutors say those were code words used to disguise an insider-trading ring that lasted five years.
The group, which included three health-care executives, a chiropractor and the owner of a spa-supply company called Yeah Baby, allegedly made more than $1.7 million by passing on secret information about mergers and acquisitions and earnings announcements of at least seven pharmaceutical companies, according to prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Newark, N.J., by U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman, the men allegedly used codes or incorporated secret information in legitimate social conversations at basketball games, dinner with friends or morning jogs. In one case, one member of the alleged scheme sent an unindicted co-conspirator the number of a pay phone outside a Virginia K-Mart store to communicate. They referred to at least one financial deal as the "Fat Man," and used phrases like "fat man has a friend" and "the fat man walks alone" to update one another on the status of the deals, according to the complaint. The words "I have some vacation pictures for you" were allegedly used to refer to cash payments made to tippers in amounts ranging from $500 to $10,000 at a time.
And to avoid leaving a financial trail, those who allegedly traded on the information paid the tippers in envelopes of cash. In one instance in March 2010, John Lazorchak—who law-enforcement authorities say was one of the main sources of inside information—sent back a check to a tippee and insisted on cash payment instead.
The alleged insider-trading ring began in fall 2007 shortly after Mr. Lazorchak moved to New Jersey and joined Celgene Corp. CELG 3.16 % , a biopharmaceutical company, the SEC said. He was dismissed Monday, the company said.
The alleged scheme included high-school friends of Mr. Lazorchak, his former boss and members of his former boss's wine-making club. Those charged are: Mr. Lazorchak, who was the director of financial reporting at Celgene; Mark Cupo, Mr. Lazorchak's former boss at Sanofi-Aventis, SNY 0.49 % where he was director accounting and reporting; Michael Castelli, Mr. Cupo's friend from his wine-making club; Michael Pendolino, Mr. Lazorchak's high-school friend who now works as a chiropractor in New Hampshire; Mark Foldy, a former marketing executive at Stryker Corp. SYK 0.24 % ; and Yeah Baby owner Lawrence Grum who was introduced to Mr. Cupo by Mr. Castell.
Mr. Lazorchak, 42 years old, attended Colonia High School in Colonia, N.J., along with Messrs. Pendolino, 43, and Foldy, 42, according to the criminal complaint. Messrs. Castelli, 48, and Grum, 48, were classmates at another unnamed high school, according to the SEC.
The SEC, which filed related civil charges in U.S. District Court in New Jersey, said the trading was carefully orchestrated in order to avoid detection by using middlemen to avoid a direct connection by the insiders and those who traded.
Those who carried out the trading allegedly tried to hide their activity by compiling binders of research to serve as a false basis for their trading and actively trading in some securities to create a pattern of long-standing positions in a stock, prosecutors said.
A lawyer for Mr. Lazorchak declined to comment.
Jonathan Marks, a lawyer for Mr. Foldy, said his client was a "very impressive and upstanding guy who it appears exercised incredibly poor judgment." Stryker said Mr. Foldy is no longer employed by the firm and declined further comment.
Lawyers for Messrs. Cupo. Grum, Castelli, and Pendolinio didn't return phone calls seeking comment Monday. All of the defendants surrendered to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and appeared in federal court in Newark; they entered no plea.
FBI spokeswoman Barbara Woodruff said the investigation used "proactive, sophisticated techniques" to uncover the alleged ring. "This multipronged approach to securities fraud investigations like this has proven to be very successful," she said.
As recently as two months ago, one of the alleged members of the scheme was confident that investigators would fall short of cracking the case. "If they ever come to me, I know what I'm doing," Mr. Grum told another person involved in the alleged scheme who had agreed to cooperate with criminal investigators, according to the complaint. The person wasn't identified in the complaint.
In the recorded conversation, Mr. Grum said: "Search my phone records, search anything—I know nobody at that company," he said. "There's no link,' he said. "And that's what they do to link up everybody. That's how they triangulate," he said, according to the complaint.
Mr. Grum explained that he had maintained a notebook for five years that included research that could be used to justify the alleged trades.
Ultimately, Mr. Grum said the SEC wouldn't come after them. "The SEC's got to pick their battle because they have a limited number of people and huge numbers of investors to go after," he said.
"This is yet another case where wrongdoers believed they could outsmart investigators by creating an elaborate smokescreen to hide their insider trading," said Daniel M. Hawke, chief of the SEC Enforcement Division's Market Abuse unit.
Mr. Hawke said computer technology enabled the enforcement staff to uncover the alleged trading ring. The software helped them to make connections among traders through their use of middlemen, cash payments and code words. "The techniques that we're using now are helping us to overcome those obstacles," said Mr. Hawke.
As those involved conducted more trades, and more people were brought into the circle, the SEC's staff narrowed down the list of culprits to a small group of friends connected by a common high school, professional relationships and social groups.
The alleged scheme nearly fell apart in April 2008 when the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority began an inquiry into suspicious trading surrounding Celgene's acquisition of Pharmion Corp. in 2007, prosecutors said. When shown a list of individuals who made suspicious trades, Mr. Lazorchak claimed he didn't know anyone listed, even though the list included Mr. Foldy and another high-school friend, prosecutors said.
"The actions taken by this employee violate Celgene's values, guiding principles and formal policies," the company said on Monday.
According to the SEC complaint, at least seven people, whom the agency didn't identify, allegedly received confidential information during the scheme. Other alleged members of the conspiracy described in the criminal complaint but not charged on Monday included a reporter/editor at a financial news website; a member of a New York hedge fund's risk assessment department and a government contractor who lived in Virginia.

Can すみません always be used in place of ありがとう? What's the difference?
When using すみません to express thanks, what other words are used with it?
Could you show me some examples?
すみません is used to express thanks when you want so express gratitude for someone going out of their way for you, or you that you feel like you inconvenienced them by receiving their effort. Another part is someone doing something unexpectedly for you. Of course ありがとうございます also fits in the same situations, too.
Simple clear examples would be someone pouring you a glass of drink at a party; someone in the office bringing you a document you asked about the other day. I learned this use of すみません in these kinds of situations.
To say that you can always use すみません instead of ありがとう would be incorrect I feel. For example, during my language learning time I have received ongoing instruction from an older friend. He explained when saying expressing deep appreciation, I should unhurriedly say ありがとうございました with a bow. In these situations, すみません would be too short and wouldn't carry the same feeling.
Also, to make it even more interesting, it is fine to say "すみません。ありがとうございます。" in the same sentence but I don't believe there are many other words one would usually use with すみません though.
すみません carries more a feeling of "you have done something for me, and I am in debt" than ありがとう, which is more like "you have done something for me, and so I thank you".
I would say it is always safe to use ありがとう, but perhaps not すみません as it can be a little weaker in gratitude. Also elongating ありがとう->ありがとうございます/ありがとうございました carries more of a deeper feeling to it.
For example, imagine while out and about someone holds a door open for you. A quick little bow and a すみません or ありがとう is appropriate. However, if someone just had to do a lot of work for you, and they are on your social level or higher, you must thank profusely. Simply saying すみません or ありがとう is fairly offensive, as it does not show the proper level of gratitude you should be showing. Only ありがとうございます/ありがとうございました is appropriate here.
Furthermore, when detailing what you are thanking the person for, ありがとう forms a better sentence with something like: くれてありがとう. くれて,すみません doesn't really work as well.
Here is one example. You are taking the elevator to the 8th floor. Usually there will be one person holding the "open the doors" button. In this particular case, you will most often hear people say すみません to express gratitude. Using ありがとうございます in this case is kind of uncommon, though is not wrong to say it.
On the other hand, if you buy something on a store, the clerk will no doubt say to you ありがとうございます/ありがとうございました。In this case, saying すみません would be incorrect, since the level of gratitude when buying something is higher than the level of gratitude to someone holding the button on the elevator for you.
A philosophist would say "if you get choose between saying ありがとう and すみません, pick ありがとう, as it has a positive feeling, while the latter is more towards negative".
Not that I agree with that philosophy.
