Vandalia resident Jay Smith will be officiating at the state football finals in Champaign.
He will either work the Class 4A title game Friday night or the class 5A title game Saturday morning.
He also worked the state finals in 2005.
In addition, a Vandalia officiating crew of Dave Givens, Mike Critcheloe, Jerry Schukar, Larry Rebbe and Paul Yagow officiated two rounds of games in this season's playoffs.
The revamped South Central Conference debuts this school year, and prior to each season, The Leader-Union will be asking Vandalia's coaches how they think the changes will affect their team.
A list of all of the changes follows.
1) Gillespie and Staunton have replaced East Alton-Wood River and Marquette Catholic.
2) There will no longer be divisional play in any sport, with all teams that used to have divisions to play one game that counts in the conference standings.
FARINA – South Central High School has joined the National Trail Conference this season, coming into the NTC at the same time Teutopolis is leaving.
South Central has previously been in the Midland Trail Conference for many years.
Prior to each sports season, The Leader-Union will be asking South Central's coaches how they think the conference switch will affect their team.
Boys basketball
Though South Central is new to the NTC, the boys basketball team has played many of the conference's teams in the past.
The Lady Cougars lost their first-ever National Trail Conference game on Monday in a 50-14 win for conference favorite Cowden-Herrick/Beecher City.
Senior Macie Cain had a team-high six points for South Central (0-1, 0-1 NTC), while freshman Lauren Lotz had five rebounds.
Jenna Rose, a sophomore, added four points, and senior Taylor Keen and Lotz each had two points.
The Vandals will open the 2012-13 basketball season against a county rival next Tuesday.
South Central will host the Vandals in both teams' season-opener and coach Brian Buscher's debut as Vandalia head coach.
For the Cougars, senior Fischer Tharp will be looking to score his 1,000th career point. He needs 20 points in the game, and in last season's matchup, he was able to score 18 in a 53-36 Vandalia victory.
The Lady Vandals have added a third tournament to their regular-season schedule, and that is where they will open the 2012-13 season.
On Monday, Vandalia will play its first game in the Litchfield Thanksgiving Tournament, taking on Nokomis at about 7:45 p.m. That game will begin after the conclusion of the 6 p.m. game.
The tournament runs through next Saturday, and the Lady Vandals play four games.
The Mulberry Grove/Ramsey Super Turkey Tournament opens early next week at both high schools.
The tournament runs through next Saturday, with the finals being held at Ramsey, starting at 2 p.m.
The championship game will start at about 8 p.m.
At Ramsey on Monday, Christ Our Rock Lutheran will take on Patoka at 6:15 p.m., and Ramsey will face Cowden-Herrick at 7:45 p.m.
At Mulberry Grove on Tuesday, Odin will battle Brownstown at 6:15 p.m., and Sandoval will take on Mulberry Grove at 7:15 p.m.
Many athletes that spent their high school years in Fayette County have moved on to play for college or professional teams. Below are the athletes who recently made headlines.
The Vandalia Jr. High girls basketball teams played their final home game of the season last Friday, with both squads defeating Ramsey.
The seventh-graders won, 23-6, and the eighth-graders won, 25-6.
The Vandalia Jr. High eighth-grade boys and girls each won basketball games in the past week.
Last Friday, the girls won in the final home game of the season, defeating Ramsey, 25-6.
Sarah Bigelow led in scoring with eight points, while Madison Klanke added six and Emma Meyer scored three.
Bailey Arndt, Lindsay Dagen, Molly Kern and Maddie Wilkerson each added two points.
Last Thursday, the boys defeated Ramsey, 44-29.
The Jr. Vandals held the Jr. Rams scoreless in the first period and built a 23-6 halftime lead.

"I have now owned my 2008 Toyota Sequoia for just over 4 years and 60K miles, have not had a single issue. Has been extremely reliable, comfortable on long trips, and is large enough to put my families stuff in it with room to spare. The only negative is the gas mileage. I drive all city driving and it gets 11-12 miles per gallon."

"I looked at all the full size SUVs and it came down to the Ford Expedition and the Sequoia. I went with the Sequoia because of the following: 1. The second row seats slides for access to the third row. This makes it easy for my kids to get in and out. 2. Easier to drive and short turn radius. 3. I needed the power for towing our trail trailer. Mine also has the supercharger as well."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 45,000overall rating 8 of 10rating details
Pros: "Feels as big as it is. Just needs cannon turret"
Cons: "Nav screen. Cargo room."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8
"My wife and I both love driving this SUV. We bought the Platinum edition, 2010 model year. More features & driver control than the Expy Limited we traded in. The center console on the 2nd row is OFF THE HOOK! Love having 3 options to adjust the ride: smooth, normal, sport. GREAT idea to put buttons behind and to the side of the 2nd row seats to lower or raise the 3rd row. You can, as with the Expy, also do that from the back with the tailgate raised. You CANNOT do that in a Chevy or Caddy. Their 3rd row is still manual! STUPID! They haven't changed that since they introduced the 3rd row! We would have bought an Escalade if it weren't for the idiotic 3rd row. But I digress. Back to point: it has so far been everything we expected from Toyota. Reliable, higher quality fit & trim, quieter ride than Expy. The only glaring downsides are 1) DEFINITELY does not have the cargo room of an Expy. 2) Many functions on the nav screen you can't do while the car is moving. It's a safety feature, but did the Japanese forget that PASSENGERS ride in PASSENGER vehicles? 3) Listening to a call coming from the vehicle's bluetooth ain't great. Time will tell on true reliablity, and how I ultimately determine its value. It only has +/- 42,000 miles on it, so I wouldn't expect anything to go wrong mechanically yet. And it hasn't. Not like the GMC I bought whose transmission gave out at 38,000 miles. I will tell you this: the salesman used an electronic tool to test the paint thickness on the Expy we traded in. Any significant variations among the different areas of the car would tell him the car had been repainted, indicating certainly body repair, and possibly an unknown/unreported wreck. I had him test the Sequoia and the paint thickness was twice as much as the Expy. More durable? Harder to damage/scratch?"

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 11,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Fun to Drive, powerful, comfortable"
Cons: "Nav System"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"The turning radius is quite amazing. Toyota has done an amazing job compensating the weight of the car with the 5.7 litre engine that carries a lot of pep. between city/hwy driving it averages about 18-19 mpg. Toyota has upped quality of the interior this past year on Sequoias because of complaints. This is reflected in the 2011 model i purchased. Nothing cheap on it. The inside, is very comfortable and ergonomically placed. JBL sound system out does the bose system in others.. Caveat is the navigation system. It's weak and outdated. My iPhone4 has a better GPS. The screen disables when the vehicle is moving as a safety feature. This can be very annoying and cumbersome because most, if not all functions of stereo, DVD, nav, phone and voice control systems are run through this screen. Roadtrips are very comfortable and would say that this is the Sequoia's strong point. We have rear bucket seats in the Platinum which makes for a very comfortable ride for rear passengers. Third row seats are very roomy and have electric seat backs. For their high-end model (platinum), I'm disappointed that there arent a few options on it such as: rain sensors and keyless start. These may be offered as an option that I'm unaware of. overall, Im vey happy with the Platinum Sequoia and feel its the best bang for the buck in the full size group."

"I'll start with what I dislike... The interior has too much plastic, the front pillars and seating position make visibility poor, some controls could be better placed and it's really hard for shorter people to get in out of. What I love: It's an incredibly powerful vehicle for towing our small boat, It pulls it like a little toy, Interior is very comfortable, spacious and has so much storage, brakes are very good, turning radius is good, gas mileage isn't too bad for such a large and power vehicle, dependability is excellent. My small complaints are just that. I really don't think my family's owned a better vehicle."

The premise is that a criminal offense has occurred by that of the State of Colorado and/or its agents; kidnapping (which has no statute of limitations).
The business was a corporation. Under Federal law, a corporation is a "person" (artificial person) who enjoys the same rights under the law as a "natural person" (not similar rights but "the same"). In this case, the Right to Due Process would come into question; "…that no person shall "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.". Due process requires (under the law) that all legal proceedings will be fair and that one will be given notice of the proceedings and an opportunity to be heard before the government acts to take away one's life, liberty, or property. In this case, there was no hearing before a Magistrate and therefore no opportunity to be heard. If due process was violated as a result of the seizure of property without a hearing, the State and its agents acted unlawfully and therefore would not have an affirmative defense and would be subject to criminal law (kidnapping).
Kidnapping results when "(1) Any person who does any of the following acts with the intent thereby to force the victim or any other person to make any concession or give up anything of value in order to secure a release of a person under the offender's actual or apparent control commits first degree kidnapping: … imprisons or forcibly secretes any person.". In this case, the Corporation (a person with civil rights) was imprisoned (seized). Additionally, a charge of kidnapping sets forth the following requirements: Essential elements of the crime of kidnapping are: (1) Wilfulness or intent to do the act; (2) the act must be done without lawful authority; (3) there must be a seizing, or imprisoning; and (4) the act must be done against the victim's will, by means of force or otherwise. People v. Cardwell, 181 Colo. 421, 510 P.2d 317 (1973).
Without creating a novel, I think the essential establishments are:
1. Is a Corporation a person (under the law) which is afforded the same civil rights as a natural person (in this case, Due Process)? I believe so.
2. Was Due Process violated as to the lack of being heard before a Magistrate? I believe so.
3. If Due Process was violated, did the State/its agents act unlawfully? I believe so.
4. If the State/its agents acted unlawfully, do they lack an affirmative defense and are now exposed to criminal action? I believe so.
5. Could the State/its agents be found criminally liable for its/their action resulting in a civil action opportunity? I believe so.
Actually, there are limitations periods for all civil claims. There is no civil action for kidnapping, but to the extent you can develop one it would have a 2 year limitation period.
The cases that have no limitations (as you note for kidnapping) are criminal statutes. To pursue a criminal case you have to be a U.S. Attorney or District Attorney. In this case, the kidnapping was not interstate, so the U.S. Attoreny probably lacks power. This leaves you with the District Attorney. You can certainly file a police report and if you can convince a District Attorney to charge the State of Colorado and punish them for kidnapping your business, then by all means go ahead. Maybe they can even seek restitution for you as part of the sentence when the State is convicted (but don't hold your breath).
Contrary to your closing statement, being found criminally responsible does not "result in a civil action opportunity". Even if you convince a District Attorney to file criminal charges, the limitation periods for civil and criminal cases still run independently and yours still ran out over a year ago. Sorry.
Yes, your points are understood and go without saying.
I was involved in a civil law suit in 2001 where a customer owed me $300K. My Attorney advised me to take their offer of $.18/dollar. After I researched not just the civil law but also criminal law, I found that my customer broke the criminal trust fund statute. After I met with my customer and his attorney and brought this to their attention, I was given an offer of $.98/dollar, court costs, interest and 3/4 of my attorney's fees which I accepted. This was accomplished from the outset with a carrot & stick tactic (or better put a stick & carrot) although my Attorney thought it was a stretch when I presented it to him and he was shocked with the result. No intent (necessarily) to take it to a D.A., just to have the State consider the possible consequences if it were to go that far.
I've never been sued but I have, unfortunately had to sue quite a few people and have never lost.
I won't belabor the discussion and I do appreciate your feedback.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year!
Thanks again!

PROVO, Utah (AP) Ś Prosecutors have brought a bathtub into court to demonstrate how a former Utah doctor charged with murder in his wifeÆs death found her listless body.
Martin MacNeill is accused of killing his wife, Michele, after convincing her to get a face lift, giving her a lethal combination of prescription drugs for recovery and then helping her into the bathtub.
The trial is resuming for a second day Friday with testimony from neighbors, police and paramedics, and prosecutors said theyÆre showing the same model of bathtub the couple used at their home in 2007. Defense lawyers say they arenÆt objecting to the demonstration.
Prosecutors say Martin MacNeill plotted his wifeÆs death to carry on an affair with his mistress, who the doctor invited to his wifeÆs funeral and asked to marry him weeks later.

Big Ten Geeks: Checking Ourselves
Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports
We're approximately at the midway point of the conference schedule, so it's a logical time to check in our preseason predictions. Were we close?
There's still time to join thousands of Big Ten fans and have some fun! Sign up to run in our Aug. 6 Big 10K in Chicago.

We're approximately at the midway point of the conference schedule, so it's a logical time to check in our preseason predictions. Were we close?
Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports
With every Big Ten team having played at least nine conference games, we've reached the midway point of the Big Ten season. It's been a fantastic race thus far, with Indiana one game ahead of the pace, and it should only get better.
Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports
Indiana beat the nation's No. 1 team Saturday night and is now in position to reclaim the top spot. Cody Zeller scored 19 points and Victor Oladipo had 15, leading the No. 3 Hoosiers to an 81-73 victory over top-ranked Michigan.
Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports
How big is tonight's No. 1 Michigan-No. 3 Indiana game? Not only is sole possession of first place in the Big Ten on the line, it marks just the fourth time top 3 Big Ten teams have ever met. So, yeah, it's pretty big. But who will be the most important player on the outcome of the game, and why? I asked the question on Twitter, and you can see Big Ten fans' responses in this post.
A lot of hockey action took place Friday night. As seen on BTN, Michigan edged Michigan State 3-2 at Yost Ice Arena. In Columbus, the Buckeyes upset ninth-ranked Notre Dame 6-3. In women's hockey action, Minnesota won their seventh WCHA regular season title against Minnesota Duluth with a 5-0 win. Watch Michigan-Michigan State highlights now and go inside this post for more hockey video.
Sandra Dukes-USA TODAY Sports
Take a look around the Big Ten, and you'll see many of them: freshmen playing big roles for teams. In fact, it has become common for freshmen to come in and not just contribute but grab the starring role.
Bradley Leeb-USA TODAY Sports
BTN.com just rolled out another handful of fun Big Ten promotional contests this week, so have a look and enter any or all of them. The prizes include an all-access pass to an Indiana basketball game, lunches with Purdue's Matt Painter and Michigan State's Mark Hollis, Big Ten men's basketball tournament tickets, a behind-the-bench experience at Michigan State, and a visit from one of the Big Ten's popular mascots.

KMA(Korea Meteorological Administration) operates World Calibration Centre for Sulphur Hexafluorid (WCC-SF6), one of the central facilities in the World Meteorological Organization / Global Atmosphere Watch(WMO/GAW) programme, from October 2012. The duties of WCC-SF6 are follows;
a) assist WMO members operating WMO/GAW stations to link their sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) observations to the WMO/GAW
Reference Scale through comparisons with standards calibrated against the primary/secondary standards maintained
by the Central Calibration Laboratory for SF6;
b) assist the WMO/GAW Scientific Advisory Group (SAG) on Greenhouse Gases in the development of the quality control
procedures required to support the quality assurance of SF6 measurements and ensure the traceability of these
measurements to the corresponding primary standard;
c) maintain laboratory and transfer SF6 gas standards that are traceable to their respective primary standard(s);
d) perform regular calibrations and inter-comparison campaigns involving the WMO/GAW stations/laboratories;
e) assist in provision of training and long-term technical help for WMO/GAW stations; and
f) make public its involvement in the WMO/GAW Programme (e.g. on its websites, in its newsletters).
WCC-SF6 established several systems for sampling compressed dry air and analyzing SF6 to prepare laboratory and transfer gas standards traceable to the WMO/GAW SF6 Reference Scale. Before preparation of SF6 standard gases, 10 L aluminum cylinders cleaned up with evacuation system with a turbo molecular pump and a heating apparatus more than 12 hours that is able to maintain the residual pressure inside the cylinder less than 0.1 Pa. (Fig. 1(a)) Dry air sample was collected by an oil free air compressor connected through Dekabon tube from the top of 40 m height sampling tower. (Fig. 1(b) and (c)) To remove moisture in air sample, a chemical trap filled with granulated magnesium perchlorate was used. (Fig. 1(d)) After preparation of compressed air in the cylinder, a SF6 mole fraction of the sample assigned by a gas chromatograph with electron capture detector (GC/ECD) and five standard gases with the WMO SF6 mole fraction scale maintained by the CCL (NOAA).

Some of these series I absolutely hate (because their terrible), but damn it their intro/outro songs are catchy; I'm taking about you Vampire Knight and Elfen Lied.
List of MADHOUSE anime
Strong doesn't necessarily mean in terms of battling, or rather not just about battle strength. That is a factor but not purely what this list is about. Some of the series on this list will have no...
this list is composed of action anime i found to be good
I would not be me if I hadn't seen these. These anime mean a lot to me, and I will forever be grateful that I watched all of them. Human tested, Reaper approved.
All complete and incomplete series I own. Incomplete: Inuyasha, Ranma 1/2, 08th ms team, Pokemon, Votoms, Niea Under 7
Just stuff I looked forward to each episode the most, though some of the longer series were a bit patchy of course.
I will add to the list as I continue to expand my anime horizons - heroic music plays in the background, a faint wind blows through my hair - . . . Feel free to shoot me now ^^;
This is a list of all Anime movies, OVAs, incomplete and complete series I own.

The subject invention is directed to a system and method for printing of color images. Transforming RGB values into CMYK values suitable for a color laser printer is often done using a 3-dimensional look-up table (LUT). However, this requires significant processing of the data for the interpolation. The system presented herein teaches a color rendering scheme which is particularly advantageous in reducing color conversion processing demands in a displayed or printed image.
In printers, such as in color ink jet and color laser printers, conversions of RGB values to printer colorant values requires considerations of the attributes of the printer's colorants, such as unwanted absorptions, absence of perfect additivity and proportionality, and the like. One way of providing the color conversion from input RGB to output CMYK values is to use simple matrix multiplication. In the past, this was accomplished with a common practice of applying a masking equation that adjusts an image for better reproduction. Such masking equations are typically are a set of linear formulas, the strength of which determines the degree of color correction. In a typical system, a mask is either preset for a printer or fixed for an image for uniform application to each pixel forming that image.
While such image corrections are advantageous for attributes, such as enabling very fast color conversions which compensate for the unwanted absorptions of colorants or additivity and proportionality of color, as noted above, such schemes are prone to clipping of colors which have higher degrees of color saturation. The resultant transformation to the printer or output device color output results in a loss in an ability to accurately reproduce these high colors and the visible result will be undesirable hue shifts and clipping of colors.
It would be desirable to have a color correction system which functions to eliminate or minimize clipping of color values at or near the saturation level while simultaneously maintaining image quality and contrast. The subject invention solves these problems, and others, and provides a system and method for applying a variable saturation scheme that is readily and inexpensively provided with color printing systems.
In accordance with the subject invention, there is provided a system for receiving image data which is encoded in an n-dimensional color space. For example, a suitable color space is RGB (Red, Green and Blue) color space. Received image data is optionally scaled to a selected range and then converted to be represented in another space, such as density. At this point, the amount of saturation is computed for each pixel and the correction values applied of which are weighed in accordance with the saturation characteristics of each individual picture element e.g., ("pixel" or "pel"). Once corrected, this data is then converted back to the n-dimensional color space and provided as an output to an image rendering device.
In accordance with a more limited aspect of the subject invention, the conversion between the color space and the space in which the transform is performed is accomplished by a function of a selected gamma value.
In accordance with another aspect of the subject invention, the image values are converted to density space prior to correction thereof. In this situation, once corrected, the values are converted from density space to an output space suitable for printing.
In accordance with another aspect of the subject invention, the image values are matrixed directly without conversion to reflection or density.
These and other aspects, advantages, and features will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the invention upon reading and understanding the specification.
The subject invention does describe with reference to certain parts, arrangements of parts and logic flow diagrams which are evidenced in conjunction with the associated drawings which form a part hereof and are not for purposes of limiting the same, in which:
Turning now to the drawings wherein the illustrations are for illustrating the preferred and alternative embodiments of the invention, and not for the purpose of limiting the same,
In the illustrated processing system 100, a data output device, such as printer 104, includes its own intelligence as illustrated by processor 120, and an ability to operate an intelligent algorithm, such as illustrated by
Turning now to
Next, in block 208, a conversion of the scale data elements is a conversion to density space D from both reflectance space is completed at density space D at block 210. It is to be appreciated that the scaling step 206 is not solely for use in conjunction with a density space conversion. Such scaling is also suitably used with a reflective space correction as illustrated in conjunction with
A suitable conversion from reflectance space block value Rx to corresponding density space value Dx is provided by Dx values as −Log10Rx. It will be appreciated that each value in the density space Dx is therefore corresponding to a value Px in the original encoding space.
This saturation correction is suitably accomplished by application of a masking equation, such as with application of a 3�3 matrix, as will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art. Such matrix is suitably applied to values in density space. However, as will be detailed below, it is advantageous to provide further space conversion in certain situation for enhancement to the saturation correction. Such additional conversion will be detailed below.
A suitable masking equation is realized in connection with an application of a matrix in the form:
As used herein, a aij are the masking equation off diagonal components. The value k is a saturation factor which is suitably set during calibration/characterization.
In the subject embodiment, the coefficients aij of the conversion matrix are fixed for an entire image. However, the value k is altered to adjust for saturation of each individual picture element. Application of the masking equation, frequently referred to as a 3�3 matrix, is thereby provided uniquely to each pixel, depending on its saturation characteristics. It will be appreciated therefore that the value k is to be computed to accomplish adjustment for a particular pixel.
In a general case, a suitable determination for a saturation value may be realized by the following equation:
M x =max(abs(R−G),abs(R−B),abs(G−B))
The value of k in the color correction matrix is a function of Mx and depends on the degree of saturation. Although it can be a simple function, such as k=1−Mx typically is a more complex function and can be defined by a one-dimensional LUT.
It will be appreciated that the subject conversion system is therefore fixed, and is applied to every pixel of an image in the preferred embodiment. The system functions to change a strength of the matrix from lower to higher (color boost) as may be warranted. Thus, an adjustment factor is dynamically altered for each pixel of the image.
Next, a masking equation is completed at block 212. A corrected image set is communicated D′x is thereby communicated to block 214 which accomplishes a reversal to revert the elements to be in reflectance space. This is suitably accomplished by the conversion and wherein R′x as 10−D′x.
Next, in block 216, the reflectance space values Rx are converted to their original color space values by application of P′x as R′x 1/G.
Next, in block 218, the 0-1 value resultant from the correction is returned to the original image value to undo the scaling that was accomplished at block 206. Next, in block 220 the saturation corrected image data is output in block 220, and the process is completed at block 222.
Turning next to
In the illustrated embodiment, each value RedxGreenxBluex is 0 to 255. Next, in block 306, this 0 to 255 value is scaled to a value of 0 to 1.
Next, in block 308, the scaled RGB value of Px is converted to reflectance space by Rx=Px 2.2, wherein 2.2 is a gamma value particularly advantageous in the subject conversion.
Next, at block 310, the reflectance face value Rx are converted to density space Dx by application of the formula Dx=−Log10Rx. Next the saturation and K values were calculated as described for
Next, at block 312, a masking equation of a 3�3 matrix is applied to have corrected values D′x. As noted above, conversion of the corrected value D′x back to reflectance space is accomplished by application of the formula R′x=10−D′x as illustrated at block 314.
Next, at block 316, the data is converted back to the original RGB space by application of the equation P′x=R′x 1/G, wherein G=2.2 in the preferred embodiment. Rescaling to the original 0-255, 8-ranges then accomplished in block 318. Finally, an output of the saturation corrected RGB encoded postscript data is accomplished at block 320 and the process is completed at block 322. Thus, the subject system advantageously teaches an effective mechanism by which saturation is suitably accomplished for each pixel element, and such conversion is not uniformly applied to each pixel. Thus, enhanced saturation correction is available.
It will be understood that various changes, substitutions, and alterations are suitably made to the subject disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. It will be appreciated that various changes and in details, materials, and arrangements of parts, which have been described herein and illustrated in order to explain the nature of the invention, are suitably made by those of skill in the art within the principle and scope of the invention and is incorporated into the appended claims.

Apple E-book Refunds to Begin June 21
From Publishers Weekly:
The book business is about to get a summer boost. Attorneys today confirmed that $400 million in refunds due readers following the end of the Apple e-book price-fixing case will begin flowing into customer accounts on June 21—with refunds for New York Times bestsellers approaching $7 per title purchased.
Similar to the prior settlements with publishers, which were paid out in 2014, the bulk of the Apple credits will be automatically delivered directly into the accounts of consumers at major book retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Apple. Consumers will receive a $6.93 credit for every purchased e-book that was a New York Times bestseller, and a $1.57 credit for other e-books. The credits can be used for "any product or service" offered by the retailer, unlike the publisher settlements, which restricted refund credits to book purchases (print or digital) only. The settlement covers books that were purchased between April 1, 2010 and May 21, 2012.

While biking with my buddy Bob Graham the other day near Old Mystic I saw a tall figure with ski poles gliding up Route 27, hook a sharp left and whip onto River Road.
"That's gotta be Todd Brown," I said, and Bob and I pedaled harder to catch up.
I've known Todd for a few years, mostly as a competitive cyclist and runner, but lately he's become obsessed by cross-country skiing, which for those of us who live in snow-starved southeastern Connecticut is like getting hooked on mountaineering and moving to Kansas or trying to race yachts in Arizona.
Sure enough, it was Todd on his roller skis, zipping along at a good clip.
"I'm out for 20 miles," he gushed, tracing a route from his home on Groton Long Point to the hills of Stonington and back. "You should have seen me coming down Pequot Trail."
"How the heck do you stop?" I asked. Pequot Trail drops down from Quoketog Hill in Old Mystic at a precipitously steep angle, and I couldn't imagine trying to control velocity around a series of sharp turns.
"Speed reducers," Todd explained, referring to brake-like pads he can adjust to press against the wheels.
His equipment consists of two rigid shafts measuring about 3 feet long, with rubber wheels mounted on either end, and a binding screwed on top that holds his cross-country ski boots. As for poles, when he's roller skiing Todd replaces the snow basket with a metal spike that he can plant and use to push off the pavement.
Like any sport you can outfit yourself with modest starter gear for a couple hundred dollars or go high-end with carbon fiber, tungsten carbide and graphite components for about $1,000.
Like many of my friends and acquaintances, Todd embraces a too-much-is-not-enough, no-pain-no-gain philosophy when it comes to outdoor pursuits, and related a fairly aggressive training regimen for racing in elite competition.
Most recently, he competed in Wisconsin's American Birkebeiner, a 50-kilometer (31-mile) cross-country ski race that attracts some of the world's top competitors, finishing in a respectable 3 hours and 2 minutes, good enough for 874th place in a field of 3,742 for the main event. The Birkebeiner actually consists of several different races that combined attract nearly 10,000 skiers.
This is even more impressive considering it was his second Birkebeiner, and he only began racing two years ago.
"A friend of mine from Wisconsin got me into it," Todd said, suggesting they both sign up for the fabled "Birkie." When Todd complained about being unable to train in Connecticut's unreliable snow conditions, his friend turned him on to roller skiing.
Todd finished that first race in 3:28 and hopes to get down to about 2:50 next year – which still would be about 45 minutes behind the winning times. Obviously, his goal is not to come in first place, but to have fun while staying in shape.
"It's a great overall workout," he said, explaining how poling works his upper body, skating works the legs and in general the sport enhances cardio fitness.
"Plus, it's low-impact," noting that sports such as running that involve a lot of pounding can take their toll on older athletes.
At 48, Todd said he is probably the average age for Birkie competitors, and he has no plans to slow down. In addition to working out on his roller skis about 10 hours a week, he cycles, runs and does other strength exercises, particularly when building up for a race.
Todd envisions himself as a crusader for roller skiing and has encouraged his wife and a few friends to take up the sport.
"I can envision a Mystic roller ski club," Todd said, modeled after the bicycle team he rides with.
One downside of roller skiing is that it takes up a bit more room on the road than running or cycling, what with the skating motion and poles. Todd does most of his workouts on River Road and around Groton Long Point, where cars are accustomed to sharing the road with runners and cyclists. In addition, Route 184 is ideal because of its wide shoulders.
So if you see Todd skating along, give him a friendly wave and some space.
Better yet, snap on a pair or roller-skis and join the fun.

Brian Montoye represented me in a Domestic Violence criminal case. Brian conducted a successful
verdict, with a result of a not guilty in my case. Brian was extremely knowledgeable of the law and was exceptional in the court room environment. My case was complex and Brian had multiple strategies prepared depending on how the prosecuting attorney presented their evidence in the case. I could not believe how hard he prepared and he did not have just a single approach to defending me. Brian had thought out all the possible options the prosecuting attorney could attempt during the case and he had an answer for every situation ready to defend me. Brian made me feel comfortable about the situation I was facing, how the law works and reassured me he would do his best to represent me. I was really impressed by Brian and would definitely recommend hiring him for your attorney. He is highly competent, very impressive, tough ligating, competitive and really a great attorney. I feel honestly that Brian is just an overall good guy that makes you feel comfortable even though you are probably in a difficult legal situation.

Brian Montoye helped me beyond expectations. I was facing a misdemeanor charge and he was able to reduce it to a civil infraction, saving me from a criminal record. Highly recommended.
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
Mr. Montoye defended my son and we were completely pleased about working with him. He did an excellent job of communicating and answering questions, explaining the options and implications. The best possible results were achieved, giving my son the chance to avoid a permanent criminal record. My stress as a parent was greatly reduced by hiring Mr. Montoye.
Posted by a DUI & DWI client
Brian is a very knowledgeable, upfront lawyer. We had no surprises. He educated us on the process regarding our son's driving issue. He is very professional, put us at ease, and did what he said. I don't know what more you would want from an attorney.
Posted by David
Brian Montoye conducted a successful defense, obtaining a verdict of not guilty in a criminal case. He showed exceptional knowledge pertaining to the distinctive character of the judges, prosecutors, police force and the legal system. This knowledge was very beneficial throughout. I was also impressed by his knowledge of the law and his professional interactions with the judge and his skillful questioning of the witnesses. He did a great job of limiting the presentation of the very aggressive prosecutor. He took plenty of time to prepare, knew all of the pertinent facts, and had proper strategies in place prior to the trial in what was a very complex case. I cannot emphasize enough how responsive and diligent he was throughout, keeping me informed of new information and swiftly returning my calls. At the same time, he was very efficient. This case had a lot of twists and turns leading up to the trial and during the trial, which he navigated very proficiently. He offered a fixed fee, and did not shirk when it went longer and became more complex than initially expected. I have very high regard, trust and confidence in him. I recommend him highly.
Posted by Kurt
Brian has helped me with legal advice regarding my business and also the sale of a rental property. In both situations he was very patient with my questions and clearly explained all of my options, allowing me to make educated decisions.
I appreciate his knowledge, quick response to my questions and patience while explaining the various options that I had in each situation. I am getting ready to sell my home and look forward to working with him again during that process.

The Allergy Prison
Published: June 10, 2001
(Page 5 of 8)
''I don't know why, but for some reason I thought to call Kellogg's the other day to ask about whether there might be soy in their cornflakes,'' she says. ''And they tell me that there's the possibility that the same trucks that carry the corn might also carry soy and that there might therefore be a risk from the cross-contamination. I say to them, 'Come on, what are the odds?'''
Someone across the room asks, ''So, did you give him the cornflakes?''
''You know, I thought, It's probably fine,'' Leslie answers. ''I felt the odds were low. So I gave him one flake.'' Everyone laughs. Leslie looks around, surprised but somehow relieved. She smiles warily. ''Then I stared at him for two hours to make sure he was O.K.''
For these parents, the rustling of plastic packaging is like the faint ringing of an alarm. Their concerns evoke sympathy but also strain credulity. Could even a mother's well-trained olfactory senses detect the nuts in a granola bar a row behind her? As Zabala herself asked, what are the odds that the flakes of cereal in her box picked up lethal amounts of soy during transit? These are people with complex lives -- families, careers, concerns of their own. Yet in this one arena, they seem to have lost the ability to make the kind of offhand risk-benefit analysis that enables each of us to walk out the door every morning. They happily let their children rocket down ski slopes, hurtle themselves at classmates in pursuit of a ball or, most perilously of all, drive a car. They can obviously tolerate risk. Just not when it comes to food.
Given the scale of the response of manufacturers, schools and parents, the number of people who die from a food-related allergy every year is surprisingly low: 150 to 200, according to the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network, a national advocacy group and clearinghouse located in Fairfax, Va. Many more people are at risk, but they watch what they eat, and they carry an Epi-Pen, the preloaded syringe of adrenaline sold for just this purpose. By comparison, around 50 people a year die from allergies to insect stings (a number that has remained constant for years). And yet no one expects public parks to post warnings about bees. It's as if insects fall outside our realm of expertise, our sphere of direct influence; food, on the other hand, is something we're all accustomed to controlling, preparing and managing. It is a familiar locus of obsession. We think we understand it.
It goes without saying that even if death itself is a remote possibility, parents might rightly fear the full gamut of allergic responses. Even mild reactions are terrifying, given the possibility that they might progress, and the symptoms themselves are extremely unpleasant.
And parents have an added incentive to avoid even the slightest possibility of contact with the allergen: the less contact a child has with a given allergen, the more likely it is that the allergy itself will eventually fade away. (One recent study found that 20 percent of the respondents outgrew their peanut allergy; for people with other allergies, the numbers are even higher.) If a 5-year-old kid with a potentially fatal allergy to eggs is kept from ever encountering even trace bits of yolk, say, he might grow into a 17-year-old with a manageable allergy to eggs, and into a 30-year-old who can eat like everybody else.
The difference between a severe food allergy and any other possibly fatal disease is, essentially, one of responsibility. People with a food allergy can't fill a simple prescription or put their faith in a surgeon's hands; the only way they can safeguard themselves is through total avoidance. For parents of children with a food allergy, the responsibility is even greater. It is the kind of pressure that makes it hard for anyone to trust that at a certain point they have done enough. ''Sometimes I'd find myself scrubbing and re-scrubbing a knife that I was worried about for whatever reason,'' says Amy Nathan, Eric's mother. ''And you know, you start to think you're. . . . '' She searches for another word before landing on the unavoidable. ''Nuts.'' She doesn't sound defensive; it's more that she's trying to clarify. ''You never know if you're overreacting or not. But I wouldn't ever want to find out.''
For adults living with a food allergy, there are no cafeteria watchdogs on hand to look out for them. The burden falls heavily on them to construct a world in which they can trust themselves.
Dean Palin, 32, has tried to do just that: Palin owns Rive Gauche, a tasteful neighborhood restaurant in Manhattan that doesn't serve nuts -- not at the bar, not in the pesto, not in the pastries. Six years ago, as he was embarking on his present career, Palin was in Las Vegas. In the lobby of the hotel where he was staying, he ate a peanut-butter cookie he had mistaken for another kind and went into anaphylactic shock. He remembers going back to his room to grab his adrenaline shot; after that, the details blur. But his business partner, who was there at the time, can't forget what he saw: first Palin collapsed, then his lungs collapsed, and soon thereafter, so did the confidence of the doctor on call, who asked what sort of cleric Palin would want to have summoned. ''I try to block the whole thing out,'' says Palin, sitting at his favorite table. Palin is outgoing and cheerful, clearly at home in this space. He high-fives the manager hello, calls himself ''Deano,'' charms his guest. But at the mention of that near-fatal reaction, his knee starts bouncing up and down. Now he'd like another drink and looks around for the waiter. ''I don't like to talk about it,'' he says. ''I don't like to recall.''
