The conviction of Malcolm Calvert, 65, a former head of market marking at Cazenove, will be a major embarrassment for the Queen's stockbroker.
During the case, the prosecution alleged that an unnamed insider at the bank was the source of the leaks of confidential information on upcoming takeovers that Mr Calvert profited by trading on.
Margaret Cole, director of enforcement and financial crime at the FSA, told The Daily Telegraph that following the conviction the market should "take the FSA very seriously indeed", echoing the comments of departing FSA chief executive Hector Sants, who said last year that people should be "very afraid" of the regulator.
For the FSA the verdict marks a major victory in its quest show that it can bring successful prosecutions for a crime that has, in the past, been seen as difficult to secure convictions for.
"In the past people thought they could get away with crimes like this," said Ms Cole. "What is important is that there was a feeling in the market that it was impossible to get convictions for insider trading. We have proved that isn't right."
A jury at Southwark Crown Court took three days to find Mr Calvert guilty on five out of 12 counts of insider trading on information provided to him by a source that was said to be working at his former employer.
Mr Calvert used inside information to invest £502,143 in the shares of three companies that were the subject of non-public takeover bids that Cazenove was working on. In total he and a friend, Bertie Hatcher, made a gross profit of £103,588 from buying and selling shares in biotechnology company Vernalis, engineering company Johnston Group and water supplier South Staffordshire.
Mr Hatcher, who was unable to attend court due to dementia, was yesterday fined £56,098 by the FSA for market abuse. Mr Hatcher had said in an earlier statement to the FSA that he had placed 12 trades in six companies between 2003 and 2005 worth £1.3m.
Neither Cazenove nor any of its current employees have ever been charged with any wrong doing in relation to the case, and in a statement the firm said "no breach of systems and controls was identified" by the FSA during a four year investigation into Mr Calvert's trading activities.
A spokesman for Cazenove said: "This case was against an individual who left Cazenove in 2000 and was in connection with matters between 2003 and 2005. There were never any charges brought against Cazenove and no breach of systems and controls was identified. We co-operated fully with the FSA throughout their investigation and will continue to support them in their efforts to ensure that the UK's financial markets are free from abuse."
Mr Calvert will be sentenced today.

Rural Russia differs from Moscow and St.Petersburg just as New York differs from most of USA. Here in the countryside between St Petersburg and Moscow you will find the essence of Russia. In some ways it's like taking a huge leap back in time - or like visiting an open-air living museum.
If you consider going beyond the tourist sites and staying for few days in rural Russia I invite you to make the journey to a village somewhere between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Here in this village I have got my summer house (dacha) and a chain of friends and relatives.
Here is a the report from my friend, Ken Taft (USA) about his experience in rural Russia
So we left on a Friday morning in early July, heading out from the center of the city, five full grown adults in a car that seats four comfortably. Our passenger roster consisted of Tatiana, her brother Misha (driver) and his wife Julia, and Tatiana's husband Sergey. In the trunk we had too many clothes and too much food. It was going to be about a five hour trip in total with occasional stops to stretch legs and eat some roadside fare. I took my place in the backseat, happy to have a window seat to avoid any car sickness. Russian roads are notoriously bad with potholes that could swallow Mini Coopers in one bite. The mudflaps of the car scraped the ground at every bump because of all the weight. There are lines painted on the pavement marking out the lanes, but no one really pays any attention to them. It's a free for all, NASCAR style, with cars dodging in and out of lanes, driving on the shoulder and fearlessly crossing over the center line to pass and play chicken with oncoming semi's. I then realized the deeper meaning of Misha making the sign of the cross while passing St. George Cathedral during our exit from the city. It was a white knuckle ride on the main highway from St. Petersburg to Moscow that needed some divine intervention to protect us. The Russian interstate can go from a modern, freshly paved autobahn style highway to a two lane, pot-holed, country back road almost instantly. Semi's outnumber cars 2:1. I would hold my breath and look out the window as Misha prepared to pull out, cross the center line and try to pass a line of slower moving semi's before the train of other semi's coming from the other direction would crush us like a beer can. Hopefully an oncoming car didn't have the same ideas about passing and would have us playing a complex game of chicken where there would be no winners. Occasionally we would see a gas station along the side of the road, but no official rest stops with toilets and running water, and of course no McDonalds, Wendy's, Cracker Barrel, etc. (Note to self: use the toilet before getting in the car).
Our first stop to rest seemed completely random but "au contraire" it was all part of the plan. Dispersed along the roadside at completely random points, away from any nearby city, were solitary people selling cucumbers, potatoes and blueberries out of buckets and wicker baskets. It puzzled me why they chose these particular spots to sell their goods. It seemed to be such an unlikely spot to sell produce. But Hey! WE stopped! And WE bought!
Our second stop was for pirozhkeys and tea at the "open-air" convenience store. The woman sporting the great tan sells tea which is brewed in the metal contraption (samovar). I'm not exactly sure how it works, but burning wood keeps it hot and it's definitely a Russian cultural icon. The pirozhkeys were delicious little gut bombs of deep fried dough with apple, potato or cabbage filling. I'll take one of these over a Big Mac any day. The sign on the small building in the background says "Bistro" 24 hours.
Five hours after leaving we arrived at the dacha, somewhere closer to Moscow than to St. Petersburg near a beautiful chain of lakes. Tatiana's mother came out, then Julia's two boys ran out happy to see their mama and eager to practice their English on me. The main house was made almost entirely of wood, very cozy inside with a brick fireplace and a large brick oven. Yes, it had running water, indoor toilets, a stove, refrigerator and an upstairs still under construction. It all sloped down to the edge of the lake where there was an old row boat and an area to go swimming. Their land was more like a compound than just a country cottage. There was a tall metal fence surrounding the entire property and various other buildings besides the main house. There was a house I call the "bachelor pad". It had a well stocked garage of tools and other implements, a table overlooking the lake for cleaning fish or fixing nets, lots of gear hanging on the walls, a functioning sink and hotplate and a small cot for sleeping. I think it's where Tatiana's father would spend a great deal of time when he just needed to do some "man things". I stayed in an auxiliary house made of pine boards with lots of windows overlooking the lake. Also in the compound was a greenhouse with an abundance of cucumbers, tomatoes and dill, and the unforgettable banya where I was initiated into the world of Russian men. I was given a complete tour of the compound by Tatiana's non-English speaker father, Yuri. Of course, like most people, he believed I would understand him better if he spoke louder in Russian. I knew when to nod my head at the appropriate times to feign comprehension as he explained the intricate workings of the plumbing system. The rest of the day was spent rowing the boat, placing nets in the lake, napping, eating lots of food and playing Russian card games that I just couldn't get the hang of.
That evening I was invited to go mushroom picking the next morning with Yuri. It is an activity I heard many stories about from a number of people, but didn't think I'd actually get to do it. I thought: "It's much easier to just buy them in a store, but maybe picking them in the forest will be interesting." Promptly at 6:30am he came to my window to wake me up. "Early bird gets the mushroom." So after a quick breakfast of instant coffee, I donned my pair of waist high rubber boots to keep dry in the tall wet grasses of the forest. Very unfortunately, I forgot to douse myself with mosquito repellent. "How bad can they be anyway, right? It's just a warm, humid, swampy forest next to a lake. No problem." So before setting off in the boat, Yuri equipped me with the necessary tools for a mushroom safari: knife + big wicker basket (How many mushrooms are we going to pick?!). We headed out across the lake with hand signals pointing me in the direction I was supposed to row. The mosquitoes had sent out scouts along the shoreline to watch for possible prey and they moved in for an attack. Now I was really starting to wish for mosquito repellent as they swarmed to the exposed skin of my hands and face. With both hands rowing I was powerless to stop them. We made our landing and quickly headed into the forest. I was instructed to stay within view of each other because it's easy to get lost in this forest and also because there is safety in numbers when it comes to bears. He showed me his very long knife he was going to use on any overly curious bear. One minute from shore we came across a large area of flattened grass and a small excavated pit where a bear was recently digging for something. This find quickly rid me of my doubts about there actually being any bears around.
We started walking along the edge of the tree line where Yuri started finding mushrooms... Big ones, about 6 inches tall with caps about 6 inches in diameter. I was expecting to see some little trolls or gnomes with pointy shoes, funny hats and white beards darting trough the underbrush. I started finding mushrooms also, but only the real colorful types that tend to make you wish you never ate them. A light rain started and for the next two hours we made our way through dense foliage, open meadows carpeted with wild strawberries and stands of endless birch. I started to develop a good eye for the elusive Belie (white) mushroom in addition to other varieties. Somehow we filled the basket with about 12 pounds of mushrooms. I was ready to get out of the rain into some dry clothes and put a big breakfast in my stomach... But we weren't done. We still had to pull up the nets from last night to see if we caught any fish. So back into the boat for another hour of rowing in circles. Yes, we caught fish, many little ones and one big one very similar to America's Northern Pike. I thought that it wasn't the most sporting way to catch a fish, but when we had fresh fried fish and mushroom soup that evening, I really didn't care how they were caught.
This one of a series of letters from Russia written by my American friend during his first year

But fret not! While all the other North Face-clad yuppies are acting like chumps (taking the ski lift and enjoying a relaxing day of multiple runs down Bachelor or Hood, near warming lodges full of cider and attractive members of the American middle class), you can prove your warrior status by using one of these methods—ranging from fairly safe to utterly fucking stupid—to avoid the masses and make things generally difficult for yourself. Your extreme self, that is.
What it is: You hire a helicopter pilot—who works through a tourism company—to load your ass into a chopper, fly you as high on the mountain as (semi-)safely as possible, and let you loose on powder purer than anything Tony Montana dreamed of.
The cost: Depending on the package you're looking at, somewhere between $900 a day and $4,000-$9,000 a week. Which is to say, about one to nine season passes to Meadows. But extreme!
The logistics: No Oregon companies are currently doing it (at least on paper), but there are tons of companies in B.C., Idaho, Alaska, and in Washington's North Cascades (basically B.C.), where demand is so high, you've got at least a 90-day wait for a trip.
Likelihood of death: Low. These dudes are pros, and aren't going to send you up into avalanche country willy-nilly—but if you've seen Alive, you might get a little skittish. Also, nobody expects the avalanche until it comes. They're spooky like that.
Snowcat Skiing
What it is: Part tank, part snowplow and 100 percent badass, the snowcat's an ATV-type vehicle designed to get you through the backcountry without all the hassle of snowshoes. Message boards are littered with skiers and hikers calling 'cat users lazy. Just run their sweaty asses over en route to some amazing backcountry action. You can also take it to the top of the lifts, looking like a postapocalyptic pimp in your ride.
The cost: $100-$500, depending on how long you want it, the number of people in it and where you're going.
The logistics: It's fairly easy to score a snowcat: A quick Web search shows many locals who rent them out independently. You can even rent one from Timberline Lodge or book a backcountry tour with one of the dozens of tourism companies planted around all the major ski areas.
Likelihood of death: You should be pretty safe and cozy in the snowcat…unless you're the warmhearted, psychic former chef at Timberline, with whom the caretaker apparently has an ax to grind.
Snowmobile Skiing
What it is: Not so much the arctic equivalent of water-skiing (which we're not condoning, but totally are because it sounds amazing), renting a snowmobile's easier than renting
a car—just a hell of a lot more expensive.
The cost: As low as $140 for five hours, and as high as $1,200 for a day—which is about one-twelfth the cost of actually owning a high-end one. But hey, it's a demand-based market, and stupid people sometimes demand to be ripped off.
The logistics: It's insanely simple, really: Score a 'mobile, load up your gear and get ready to scare the shit out of every living being in the forest as you loudly climb hills in what looks like a jet ski from a terrifying future. Or take it to Timberline, climb the hill and see how long it takes you to turn your fun day on the mountain into a frigid high-speed chase with the cops.
Likelihood of death: Snowmobilers aren't exactly known for their careful demeanor and commitment to lucid recreation, but if you use your head you should be fine.
What it is: Though it's generally more of a backcountry practice, it's still fun to imagine trekking up a slope, flipping off the skiers passing on the lifts overhead as you stubbornly trudge up a mountain for hours when you could be up there in a matter of minutes were you not such a cheapskate.
The cost: Cheap as hell. Nearly every outdoor shop in Portland rents these webbed wonders. Prices are as low as $10 for two nights (trekking poles and waterproof boot covers are extra, as are Sherpas).
The logistics: It couldn't be more simple. You just strap your snowshoes on, load your skis on your back and start walking. Of course, it's going to take a hell of a long time to get where you're going, but at least you're going as analog as possible.
Likelihood of death: Very, very low, unless you decide to become a statistic by trudging into the vast wilderness alone without telling anyone where you're going during a bad storm. Which is, as it goes, a sadly seasonal occurrence round these parts. j

Investigators accuse Nurlan Gadjiev of "financing terrorism" for transferring 2000 rubles (approx. $35 – RRT) to his friend in Turkey.
According to Radio Svoboda ("Radio Liberty" – RRT), in 2014 Gadjiev transferred money to Istanbul for treatment of his friend, who said that he had cancer. According to the accused, he did not contact his friend after he found out that he joined a illegal armed group in Syria.
After a while, FSB spotted Gadjiev. He is facing imprisonment from 5 to 10 years.

Classic Japanese cars are also known as Japanese nostalgic vehicles. Although they are not as powerful as those cars in America, these cars are iconic and it appeared on numerous movies and TV shows. Some of them are also rare and its price was almost the same as European rare classic cars.
Here are some of the classic vehicles from Japan:
Toyota 2000 GT
This car is the first Japanese collector car. The Toyota 2000 GT helped Japan to rise in automotive industry and many critics considered this car as the Japan's first "Super car". Before this car's release in 1967, all of the cars in Japan were treated as garbage because it was tiny and outdated. The Toyota 2000 GT was really a game changer since it was designed and built with high quality components. A twin cam 2.0L straight six that was developed by Yamaha was also featured in this car and it can run all the best engines of that time.
Unfortunately, although Toyota can capitalize on the success of their car, only 337 units of Toyota 2000 GT were produced during its 3-year production.
Mazda Cosmo 110S
Here is another rare car that emerged in late 1960s and early 70s. This car was not as relevant as the Toyota 2000 GT but its design and built makes it valuable. During its development, Mazda was going through a transformation and they were aiming to make a car that has futuristic design and technologies. Mazda came up with the idea of mounting the Rotary Engine to their concept vehicle because back in those days, some analysts predicted that the Rotary engine was the engine of the future.
The Mazda Cosmo 110S was already coming to life and its exterior designs were inspired by a 1960s turbine concept car with long hood and covered lights. Its interior was highlighted with wood rimmed steering wheel and black-and-white cloth inserts on the seats. Its well-designed dash was also admired.
Similar to the Toyota 2000 GT, this Mazda Cosmo 110S was also a rare classic Japanese car. This car was only an experimental image car of Mazda, it was built in small numbers and most of them were exported to advertise Mazda outside Japan.
Datsun 510
This car was famous during its release because it was considered as a poor man's BMW. This BMW beater was inspired by European sedans such as BMW 1600 and 2002 series. Its engine was almost a replica of Mercedes engines, their specifications was almost the same. Its transmission was available in a 4-speed manual and 3-speed automatic. The suspension was independent all the way from its struts at the front and semi-trailing arms on the rear. Amazingly, this kind of technology was often seen on European cars while Datsun is using it on their economic vehicles.
Datsun 510 was a huge success and it was sold in huge numbers during its production from 1968 to 1973.
All of those technologies from European cars were mounted on a sheet metal from Germany and England that is why this Datsun economic car is indeed a poor man's BMW.
Datsun 240Z
This car is considered as one of the most successful sport coupes. The same formula from Datsun 510 was used on their 240Z and it resulted with more success. The Datsun 240z was using a six cylinder L-series engine which was paired with twin side draught Hitachi carburettors. It has 5-speed manual transmission and this configuration accelerates the 2,300lbs coupe from 0 to 100kph in just 8.8 seconds. Its handling was acceptable, it has independent suspension in all four corners, anti-roll bars but this car was using a rack and pinion steering system.
This car did not only win the hearts of many car enthusiasts, it also helped Datsun to ascend in automotive market. The Datsun 240Z proved to the world that Japan is also capable of producing world class vehicle and although its quality was the same with Jaguar and Porsche, its price was less-expensive compared to its European counterparts.
Toyota Celica
This car is considered as the Japanese version of Ford Mustang and it was released in 1970. While Datsun was releasing cars with European influences, Toyota decided to base their next vehicle on one of the most famous American muscle car, Ford Mustang. Since Mustang gives Ford a major boost on its sales, Toyota tried their luck with the release of their scaled down version of Mustang. Toyota Celica was available in coupe and lift back body styles. The 1970 release of Toyota Celica was only available in coupe version and the lift back body only appeared in 1973. The design of its body was heavily based to the Ford Mustang but some of its elements were scaled down and that's what gives the Toyota Celica its own character.
But unlike Ford Mustang, the Toyota Celica was not that powerful. This car was only powered with a large 2.0L 18R overhead valve 4 cylinder engine but it could be reliable for long hours of driving. In 1975, Toyota Celica received upgrades for its power and handling.
Although the standard Toyota Celica was not meant for street racing, several performance parts are available and it can be ordered in Japan. This stylish and reliable release by Toyota was affordable even if it was based on a high performance Ford Mustang.

From Russellville, Arkansas, USA:
I have a brother-in-law who is type 1 diabetic and he goes into insulin shock about 3 times a week. Does insulin shock cause a person to become violent, with aggressive behavior? He's gets real mean acting.
Yes indeed. It is well known that very frequently hypoglycemia presents with sudden change of mood such as violent and aggressive behaviour. Intensive insulin treatment aimed at the best metabolic control can lead also to hypoglycemia unawareness that worsens such a phenomenon.

Britain and Ireland are urging the political parties in Northern Ireland to make a last-ditch effort to resolve differences and save the province's coalition government.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern discussed the Northern Ireland situation in London Wednesday.
They met as a deadline of midnight Saturday approaches for Northern Ireland's political parties to overcome disputes that threaten their 1998 peace agreement.
Prime Minister Blair is urging compromise, saying he dreads the thought of renewed violence. "It is precisely because we want to leave terrorism and violence behind in Northern Ireland, whether from the republican quarter or the so-called loyalist quarter, that we want this peace process to succeed," the prime minister said. "If we look at what's happened in the Middle East over the past year, I think we can see the dangers of what happens when the peace process falters or fails."
If the Northern Ireland stalemate is not broken before Sunday, London could be forced to resume direct rule over the province, or call new elections.
Northern Ireland's government has teetered on collapse since July, when the senior minister, David Trimble, resigned.
Mr. Trimble leads the pro-British Ulster Unionist Party. He quit because the Irish Republican Army had not begun disarmament as required under terms of the peace agreement.
Other issues that have not been resolved include a proposal to have equal numbers of Protestants and Roman Catholics on the Northern Ireland police force and a plan to reduce British military presence in the province.

Five teenage pedestrians were injured when a car drove off the road after striking another vehicle Thursday night in Lochearn, Baltimore County police said.
Police said a 2003 Honda Accord, driven by an 18-year-old man, struck a 2009 Accord, driven by a 23-year-old woman, when it crossed Windsor Mill Road from Royal Court Drive about 10 p.m. When the cars collided, police said the 2003 Honda left the road and struck the teens.
All five pedestrians, plus the 23-year-female driver of the second car and a 7-month-old boy also in that vehicle, were taken local hospitals for non life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the 2003 Honda was not taken to a hospital.
Police said no charges have been filed.

Preventing graffiti
Remove graffiti from your property as quickly as possible. A quick response to remove graffiti has been shown to greatly reduce the incentive to deface the area in the future.
Prevention Ideas
There are lots of crime prevention ideas that will work effectively in discouraging
vandals from targeting your property with graffiti.
Consider growing plants along the walls of your property, using anti-graffiti coatings
or commissioning an art mural. Murals brighten up the neighbourhood and are
highly effective at deterring further graffiti.
Move garbage disposal bins away from walls so the offenders can't vandalize both
surfaces in a single act of graffiti.
Contact the City of Regina about graffiti on any neighbouring property so that
Bylaw Enforcement staff can get involved and work with the property owner to have
the graffiti removed before it becomes a neighbourhood issue. You can also let the
City know about graffiti on any City-owned property so that staff can clean it as soon
as possible.

This particular ingredient enables this supplement to mimic the effects of tranbolone, the steroid. Also called as plant sterol, beta sitosterol is often used by the vets to speed up the growth process in livestock. Not just this, the particular ingredient is also beneficial enough to lower cholesterol levels.

Anabolic steroid implants are allowed for veterinary use. But if someone diverts this for use in humans, it will be deemed as a distribution of a Schedule III drug leading to prosecution. The law on trenbolone differs in other countries. For instance, in Canada it is a Schedule IV drug. In Canada, all anabolic steroids are classified as Schedule IV drugs. In the UK, anabolic steroids are classified as Class C substances. Their possession can lead to a 2 year jail term, while their production and supply can lead to a 14 year jail term. But many countries do not have strict laws. In some places, you can even buy it over the counter.
Some bodybuilders and athletes use trenbolone esters for their muscle-building and otherwise performance-enhancing effects. [5] Such use is illegal in the United States and many other countries. The DEA classifies trenbolone and its esters as Schedule III controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act . [18] Trenbolone is classified as a Schedule 4 drug in Canada [19] and a class C drug with no penalty for personal use or possession in the United Kingdom . [20] Use or possession of steroids without a prescription is a crime in Australia . [21] The infamous "duchess" cocktail allegedly administered to Russian athletes at the Sochi Winter Olympics consisted of oxandrolone , a metenolone ester, and a trenbolone ester. [22]

Laptop having connectivity issues - says invlaid IP address
Hi there,
I need help as I am a not so tech savvy girl who is having IP address issues. I have had my Lenovo laptop for over a year now and about a week ago it started developing a connectivity problem. When my laptop is idle for awhile and I access it, it will not connect to my landlord's wireless internet. I have to troubleshoot the problem so that it resets the wireless connection because apparently I no longer have a valid IP address (as per the 'fixed' message).
I would appreciate any assistance as it is a pain to have to resent the connection every time, and it is also inhibiting my ability to use my wireless printer. Below are images of both my troubleshooting message and my computer's IP info. Please try and put your responses in layman's terms as I really don't know that much computer lingo. Thanks

It should come back from sleep but sometimes when they won't you need to turn off the power saving feature.
Open Device Manager> Control Panel> Device Manager
Expand Network Adapters, right-click the WLAN adapter, click Properties, click the Power Management tab, and then clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box. "screen shot below"
If turning that power saving setting off there is another one under Power Settings, link below to adjust that one, adjust the one for network adaptor in the link.

Already tried the first action with negative results
Hi there,
First off, thank you for taking the time to respond to my post.
I had already tried the first step this morning, and when I came home I was discouraged to say the least. Not only did my laptop not connect automatically, I couldn't even get it to connect with my trusted troubleshooting. I had to reboot my laptop entirely, and then it connected automatically.
I have just performed the second piece of the advice you gave me. I will have to see if that makes a difference, but I am not holding my breath. Any other thoughts?

My daughter recently returned from Italy where she did ride on Vespas. A fun memory for her when she visits and aspirational for me on a future trip.

The theater's board announced last week that it had agreed to sell 60 percent of the venerable community theater's building at St. Peter and Chartres streets to the Dickie Brennan Restaurant Group.
The board would retain control of the 365-seat main theater.
Board leaders said the sale would solve financial problems that have threatened to cost the theater control of the entire French Quarter building.
Chairwoman Cassie Steck Worley said last week the board had to take immediate action because Capital One bank, which holds a $700,000 mortgage on the building, had "indicated that there's no time left." She said the building also needs $1 million in roof and termite-damage repairs.
The board canceled the remainder of Le Petit's 2010-11 season in December.
However, Jim Walpole, president of the Le Petit Theatre Guild, an autonomous booster organization, has criticized what he called "the haste and lack of transparency surrounding" the deal with Brennan.
Walpole has said the board had at least two other offers that would have let it retain use of the entire building, but the board said those offers did not guarantee it would be able to continue to own and run the theater. It said the Brennan offer would let it pay off the mortgage and other debts, make the needed repairs and create a sizable endowment fund.
At Walpole's request, Reese issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting the board from "disposing of, alienating or encumbering" any of the theater's property before the June 24 hearing.
It was unclear whether the board had intended to close the deal with Brennan before then.
Walpole said he went to court after he met Sunday with four board members, "and it became clear that the sale was going to proceed."
He said he thinks "that the iconic landmark building constructed for Le Petit is as much a part of the institution as the plays it performs."
Worley said that until 1962, Le Petit did not even occupy the part of the building that would be sold to Brennan.
Under the proposed deal, everything on the river side of the building's central courtyard, including Le Petit's smaller theater, would become a restaurant. All areas on the lake side -- the main theater, lobby, orchestra pit and utility room -- would be renovated and retained as theater space. The restaurant and theater would share use of the courtyard.
Brennan has not said what kind of restaurant is planned.
Walpole said the guild has collected signatures from 50 theater subscribers to call a special meeting of the board of governors to approve or reject the decision to sell part of the theater.
He said the guild also will hold a "Rally to Save Le Petit" Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Columns Hotel, 3811 St. Charles Ave. He asked all former subscribers to attend.

That's what I want to ask every single person in the drive-thru at Chik-fil-A. In fact, I just asked this of an HR colleague of mine. Someone who is in the business of doing the right thing when it matters. Someone who should know better.
Yes, I know you are hungry.
Yes, I know it's just a chicken sandwich.
I said those words. But I also said that it's just too bad you hate gay people because you seem like a pretty nice guy.
He insists he doesn't hate gay people.
He is wrong. He does.
If you liked gay people, you would be offended that Chick-Fil-A Fast donated $2MM to anti-gay groups in 2009. You would wonder why a quaint little sammich shop is in the business of fighting against marriage equality in America. And you would wonder why Chick-fil-A hates Muslims as much as they hate the gays.
I know there is injustice everywhere and you can't fight all the battles.
How about fighting two battles with one stone? Lose your fat ass and stop being a homophobe.
It's a new year. Time for new goals. I think it's great that Chik-fil-A's mission is to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. That's cool. If they could be stewards of the LGBT community — who are also part of God's community — that would go a long way in fulfilling their mission.
Don't eat at Chick-fil-A, my friends. Think about boycotting the chain of restaurants as part of your corporate wellness program. Who among us needs another crappy chicken sandwich, anyway?

Lost cycle of players forced U.S. soccer to retool
Mix Diskerud is a noteworthy member of the U.S. national team that will try to find World Cup success in Brazil this month.
Not because the Norwegian American - who came off the bench to score the winning goal against Azerbaijan at Candlestick Park on Tuesday - is wearing the No. 10 jersey that spent so many years on the back of Landon Donovan (though that's also quite interesting). But because Diskerud is the only member of the United States' "lost generation" of men's players to make the World Cup roster.
The lost class of players is one of the challenges that Jurgen Klinsmann faced in trying to shape a World Cup roster. He recently described the "huge disappointment" sustained by the young American players as one of the biggest hurdles the program faces.
"Mix is coming from a group of guys that we had real trouble with getting to the next level, and I mean our Olympic team that was supposed to go to London," Klinsmann said after the Azerbaijan game. "There were a few guys - very special players coming with that team - and for whatever reason, it just didn't work out the way it should have."
Klinsmann's assessment was surprisingly blunt, and rare in the world of soccer, in which coaches who have control over programs try to smooth over any failings and gaps in development. But Klinsmann is the rare national team coach who has job security through not one, but two, World Cup cycles. His charge is to develop a generation of players, which is why a lost one hurts so much.
Two years ago, on a Monday night in Nashville, the American under-23 team - coached by Caleb Porter - finished tied with El Salvador in a must-win game to qualify for the London Olympics. The tie, following a shocking 2-0 loss to Canada, dropped the U.S. team to third in its group and out of the Olympics.
It was a blow to the program. Though Olympic men's soccer, an under-23 tournament, is not the high-profile event that it is for the women's game, it is critical in the development of a team and young players who are asked to succeed in the international spotlight.
In 2008, Lionel Messi led Argentina to a gold medal. Brazil's Neymar led his team to the final at Wembley Stadium in 2012. Though Mexico's national team has struggled since winning gold in London, many members of its current World Cup roster played on that Olympic team. And that experience probably will benefit the Mexican team when it begins the pressure of World Cup play.
In contrast, Klinsmann - who was less than a year into his tenure when the Olympic failure occurred - found that many of his young players could not recover from the blow in Nashville.
"We lost a few on that path that should actually be part of this group now, this inner-circle group," Klinsmann said. "All these very talented kids. They fell in a hole, a deep one.
"Because of what happened there, we desperately now, from the senior level, look at that generation. And we want them to come through and grow into the senior team. They struggled with that because of that huge disappointment."
For his World Cup camp, Klinsmann called in only three players from that team: Diskerud, Terrence Boyd and Joe Corona. Only Diskerud made the final cut for Brazil. Other members of that team, such as Juan Agudelo, Teal Bunbury, Brek Shea and Freddy Adu, failed to impress not only Klinsmann but also others in the soccer world. Adu is without a contract. Shea got little playing time for Stoke City.
To hear Klinsmann tell it, instead of finding resiliency and a determination to improve their game, the monumental failure in Nashville derailed many of the young Americans.
Diskerud, in contrast, thrived while playing in Norway.
"You grow a lot from certain experiences, and definitely one like that," he said. "That was a goal in my life, to reach the Olympics. Another goal was to reach the World Cup. So now I am part of that."
He is one of only six players on the World Cup roster who are young enough to have qualified for an Olympic U-23 team. Five of them play in Europe - only defender DeAndre Yedlin plays in the MLS, in Seattle. Three of the young players are German Americans who play professionally in Germany, part of the criticism that Klinsmann appears to favor players with German roots over homegrown Americans.
Klinsmann would argue that the gap caused by the "lost generation" is one of the reasons that he had to look elsewhere for youth. The average age on the American roster is 27; it includes those six players who are 24 or younger and 10 players who are 29 or older. But only five players on the roster have experience playing in a World Cup: Tim Howard, Clint Dempsey, Michael Bradley, Jozy Altidore and DaMarcus Beasley.
As with all topics involving the U.S. roster, the question of the "lost generation" circles back to the omission of Donovan. He was the leader of an American generation that wasn't lost, that produced beyond expectations. With the huge gap in the American development, why wouldn't Klinsmann try to fill it with the most experienced American player ever?
Instead, the lone survivor of the lost generation wears Donovan's No. 10.

small business utah lawyer
I'm a small business lawyer and have always had a love for business. I grew up in Utah working in my family's Scandinavian furniture store from the time I was in junior high school until I graduated from college. Working in a family business, I experienced firsthand the stress that comes with the general operations of running a business, especially handling employee matters.
I graduated from the University of Utah in 1995 and worked in Human Resources for two years before law school. During law school, I worked at the San Francisco District Office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC); the headquarters of the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA); the California Labor Commissioner's office; and the Women's Employment Rights Clinic (WERC).
In 2001, I married my husband, Doug, who was in his final year of dental school, and I convinced him to move back to Utah. Upon our return to Utah in 2002, I practiced solo until joining the Provo firm of ESPLIN │ WEIGHT in 2006. My legal practice included representing employees with sexual harassment complaints; race, age, and disability discrimination; wage and hour disputes; and unemployment issues. Additionally, I handled small business partnerships; buy-outs; contracts; business formations; policies and procedures; a variety of employee trainings; debt collection; estate planning and probate.
Initially, I wanted to be a civil rights attorney because I felt that employees were the underdog. Over the years, I sued large and small companies and then later began representing business owners when partnerships failed. I have owned three businesses myself. Running a business can be stressful! Today, I see the small business owner as the underdog. We help the small business owner avoid the common mistakes that threatens the wellbeing of the business. I know that if clients put rules in place and actually follow the rules they have in place, then they will protect their personal and business assets which includes the livelihood of their employees.
We help small businesses avoid common legal mistakes with business operations, contracts and employees. My years of business ownership and litigation experience, sets us apart because we know what steps are necessary to avoid court. We no longer represent clients in court because our focus is simple: to avoid having to go to court at all. We strive to lower your stress of running a business and avoid the high cost of litigation. Put your small business in the best position possible to succeed by hiring a business lawyer. Hiring a business attorney as a member of your team is just smart. Your attorney should add value to your business by protecting your business. We aim to do just that!

The thriller 24 was so many things during its storied eight-year run, but most of all, it was ahead of its time. As it returns to TV on Monday night, the big question is: Has its time passed?
If ever a TV show was created for binge viewing, it was the tension-filled story of rogue agent Jack Bauer told in real time. Cliffhangers were many and maddening, and we couldn't wait till next week for the clock to start ticking again, right where it left off the week before.
The thing was, binge watching was a startup concept at the time. People were binge-watching full seasons of TV shows on DVDs in 2001, when 24 premiered. Once Netflix shook up the whole TV equation by making full seasons of its original content available all at once for streaming, binge-watching came into its own.
That makes 24 seem almost prehistoric, but it's a testament to how brilliantly manipulative the series was that it lasted from 2001 to 2010, with a two-hour film between the sixth and seventh seasons. True, the ratings were up and down over the show's history. By the final season, it seemed fitting for 24 to stop the clock.
The reboot of the show, the limited series 24: Live Another Day, begins, appropriately, four years after Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) disappeared off the drone camera feed that Chloe O'Brien (Mary Lynn Rajskub) was watching. Once again, world peace hangs in the balance as the United States is about to sign an important treaty with Great Britain.
President James Heller (William Devane) is in London to sign the pact, but the CIA uncovers a threat to assassinate him.
Head of operations Steve Navarro (Benjamin Bratt) is tracking agents as they close in on a suspected terrorist. On the outskirts of the action is Kate Morgan (Yvonne Strahovski of Chuck and Dexter), who is working her final week at the agency because she failed to realize her now-dead husband was selling secrets to the enemy.
With tiny camera drones running around the darkened warehouse, we follow undercover agents as they break in and set about rousting a shadowy hooded figure. Kate should be packing but is drawn into observing the action with Navarro. The hooded figure darts here and there, and then, in the moment we've been conditioned to anticipate, he raises his face to the camera.
Jack's back.
As everyone's eyes are glued to the screen watching the undercover agents pursue Bauer through the warehouse, only Kate sees something different in his pattern. Once everyone else realizes she's right, the 24 we knew and loved is back again.
All the familiar elements are in place: the digital clock signaling the ends and beginnings of segments to remind us it's all happening in real time, the unrelenting background music, the high-level bureaucrats not trusting Bauer, Bauer's elusive allegiances, and, best of all, the return of Chloe and Audrey Raines (Kim Raver).
Chloe is now part of a free- information underground led by her current Julian Assange-like boyfriend, Adrian Cross (Michael Wincott). Audrey is in London to support her father, and, with her husband, chief of staff Mark Boudreau (Tate Donovan), she is among the very few people who know the president is in the early stages of dementia. Boudreau is determined to protect his wife from ever seeing Jack again.
The 24 reboot is being called a limited series, but with 12 episodes, it might as well be a full series. The question is whether creators Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran will get a chance for Jack to live yet another day.
24 was never a perfect show, and it still isn't. There were extraneous subplots and credibility issues, and no one ever accused the series of being too intellectual. But what it did, it did well. What's more, it coincidentally tapped into the post-9/11 unease, in a way that certainly its creators couldn't have predicted when they were hatching the idea of a show that would premiere two months after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
Because of its real-time format, it became destination TV for its fans, and, for its detractors, not worth following. That hasn't changed with 24: Live Another Day, but it remains a well-made and potentially addictive drama, whether you watch it in real time or on your DVR. Time is still on its side.

Update: Dell agrees to buy Compellent for $960M
FRAMINGHAM 13 DECEMBER 2010 - Dell has agreed to buy virtualized storage vendor Compellent Technologies in an all-cash deal worth $27.75 per share, a little more than the $27.50 per share price tag it was discussing with the company last week, but still lower than the stock's Monday-morning opening price of $28.30.
Dell hopes to expand its range of enterprise storage products with Compellent's virtualized storage products, which offer thin provisioning and tiering.
The new price tag values Compellent at around $960 million, and puts the cost of the deal to Dell at about $820 million, net of Compellent's cash. The companies expect to complete the deal early next year, if Compellent's shareholders approve it.
Whether they will get the chance remains to be seen. The last time Dell bid on a big storage vendor, it ended up in a bidding war with Hewlett-Packard. The price of its acquisition target, 3Par, more than doubled in just a few weeks.
However, analysts said last week that counter bids are less likely . It might be more likely that vendors such as networking giant Cisco will submit offers as they look to diversify.
Overall, the storage market is becoming red hot as companies around the world grapple with rapidly expanding data volumes. Global disk storage systems revenue during the third quarter was about $7 billion, increasing by 18.5% compared to the third quarter last year, analyst firm IDC said recently.
The worldwide storage software market is exhibiting strength as well, with third-quarter revenue of $3.1 billion, an 8.7% jump over the same quarter last year, according to other IDC figures.
Dell executives cited those trends during a conference call Monday.
"Data creation is exploding. Our customers are struggling to manage and store their content," said Dave Johnson, Dell senior vice president of corporate strategy. The Compellent deal will complement past acquisitions Dell has made to build a comprehensive storage lineup, which include EqualLogic and Ocarina, he said.
The storage sector is afflicted by too many point products that don't work well enough together, said Brad Anderson, senior vice president of enterprise products at Dell. Customers want a technology set that allows them to easily move data from primary to secondary storage, and eventually archive it, as well as perform tasks like deduplication, he said. "You can't accomplish this when you have all these point solutions that are all incompatible with each other."
