When you're at a Depeche Mode concert take a moment to let the experience sink in. For you're not just watching a very popular band, you're watching the world's most successful electronic band of all-time.
Depeche Mode has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide and hundreds of thousands of Depeche Mode tickets.
As of 2011, they've charted 48 singles and seen 12 of their albums peaked inside the top ten in UK. They have not only achieved immense commercial success but they've inspired generations with their provocative songwriting, innovated use of sampling, and unique recording methods. The diverse list of artists that consider Depeche Mode an inspiration include Rammstein, Shakira, Linkin Park, and Coldplay.
Named after a French fashion magazine, Depeche Mode formed in 1980 in Essex, England. The original lineup consisted of lead vocalist Dave Gahan, and keyboardists Martin Gore, Andy Fletcher, and Vince Clarke.
Clarke left Depeche Mode in 1981, after the release of the band's debut album. He would go on to form Erasure with Andy Bell. Alan Wilder replaced Clarke and remained in the lineup until 1995. The band now launches Depeche Mode tours as a trio consisting of Gahan, Gore, and Fletcher.
Depeche Mode released their first single, "Dreaming of Me," in 1980 and their first album, Speak & Spell in 1981. The album featured bouncy pop songs like "New Life" and "Just Can't Get Enough." Clarke left the fold after the release of Speak & Spell claiming he didn't like the direction the band was taking.
With Clarke gone, Gore took over the primary songwriting duties. Wilder auditioned for Clarke's vacant spot and finally received the job in early 1982. Once onboard, Wilder helped develop the band's distinct and indelible sound but left in 1995 feeling underutilized and disrespected.
At the time of Wilder's departure, Gore was experiences seizures and Gahan's heroin addiction was spiraling out of control. In fact, not long after Wilder left the group Gahan nearly overdosed.
The band released their most successful album, Violator, in March of 1990. The album, produced by the band and Flood, contained the songs "Personal Jesus," "Enjoy the Silence," "Policy of Truth," and "World In My Eyes." Violator was also the first Depeche Mode album to crack the top 10 on the Billboard 200; it reached number seven. The album established Depeche Mode as international superstars.
Despite being an electronic band, their live shows are highly regarded and greatly anticipated. Like major rock acts, Depeche Mode can sell out any arena in the world.

California gold rush leads to Don Presley's Sept. 3-4 auction featuring retired prospector's personal collectionAugust 22nd, 2011 by admin
ORANGE, Calif. – Gold is the commodity on everyone's minds these days, and bidders could very well strike paydirt over Labor Day weekend, Sept. 3 and 4, when southern California auctioneer Don Presley offers nuggets and other specimens from the private collection of a retired professional prospector.
Now in his late eighties, the prospector – who traded in precious metals and sold mining equipment for a living – built a special reserve collection over his lifetime that consisted of exceptional geological specimens. He is now liquidating his collection to provide for his grandchildren.
"Over the years, he has prospected all over the world, and this is the first time he has ever sold anything at auction," said Don Presley. "Some of the pieces in his collection are just fabulous."
Headlining the gold lots is a spectacular white quartz specimen with a total weight of 59.2 ozt. that contains a gold chunk weighing 29.5 ozt. "A specific gravity test makes it possible to determine the weight of gold when it is suspended in quartz," Presley said. "The way the price of gold is going, it would have a melt value of close to $60,000, but I don't know why anyone would want to melt it; it's a fantastic thing to look at." Presley has estimated the item at $60,000-$90,000.
Three nuggets have been consigned by the prospector, the largest weighing 12.86 ozt. (or 400 grams) and estimated at $25,000-$40,000. Presley said that because it is a solid nugget, it has more value than scrap gold of the same weight. An 8 ozt. nugget is estimated at $16,000-$20,000; while a 2 ozt. nugget that was made into a beautiful pendant enhanced with sapphires is expected to pan out at $4,200-$6,000.
Other, smaller gold-quartz specimens have been consigned to the sale, as well. An example weighing 29.58 grams (20 grams gold) is estimated at $1,500-$2,500; and one with a total weight of 20.96 grams (13 grams gold) is expected to fetch $800-$1,500. Reasonable estimates have been placed on all of the gold and gold quartz lots, with opening bids just under the melt value.
"The prospector's collection has turned out to be quite a shrewd investment. Gold is on the rise, so his consignments have gone up in value without a single bidding paddle being lifted," Presley observed.
Other valuable "metal" in the sale includes a selection of silver coins and an elegant 1988 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur motor
car, which is estimated at $20,000-$35,000. Sparkling estate jewelry featuring sizable diamonds and emeralds are on the roster, as well as watches and a separate collection of Tiffany pocket watches.
Following in the footsteps of previous Don Presley sales, there will be a wealth of fresh to the market fine and decorative art from which to choose on Sept. 3-4. Many exquisite items came from a residence in the exclusive southern California enclave of Palos Verdes.
A grand array of 19th-century French furniture is to be offered, including cabinets, armoires, and an ornately hand-carved bed. Presley said two similarly decorated Linke-style tables deserve special attention. One is sized perfectly as an entry table, while the smaller of the two could even be used as a lamp table. Each of the glass-topped tables is richly adorned in gilt bronze with hand-painted porcelain plaques and cartouches.
Art glass includes pieces by Tiffany Studios – including a few Tiffany lamps – Galle, Steuben, Quezal, Wavecrest and more. Porcelain entries include designs by Sevres, Limoges and KPM, with the addition of two Dresden lamps.
An outstanding collection of Chinese ivories will be auctioned, including king and
queen figures, a set of seven Immortals and a superbly crafted chess set. From a separate consignor comes a collection of approximately 100 netsukes that will be apportioned 12 to a lot. An impressive pair of 34-inch-tall Chinese gilded-wood foo dogs on 30-inch pedestals will cross the auction block, together with Chinese jade, scrolls and ivory fans.
The gallery will be alive with the sounds of ticking and chimes from a panoramic array of clocks. Of special note is a collection of desirable hunting clocks. A Steinway & Sons baby grand piano and many other outstanding artworks and bronzes complete the auction lineup.
Presley noted that 90% of the goods in his Sept. 3-4, 2011 sale will be auctioned "absolute," without reserves or minimums. All forms of bidding will be available, including Internet live bidding through LiveAuctioneers or Proxibid. For additional information, call Don Presley at 714-633-2437 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. Visit the company's website at www.donpresleyauction.com.
Cowens' MVP Award takes top prize at Grey Flannel's Basketball Hall of Fame Auction, sells for $156,000August 22nd, 2011 by admin
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The MVP Award won by Boston Celtics center Dave Cowens in the NBA's 1972-73 season sold for an astonishing $156,000 at Grey Flannel's Sixth Annual Basketball Hall of Fame Induction Auction held Aug. 12 in Springfield. The 170-lot auction conducted onsite at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame grossed more than $1.8 million, inclusive of 20% buyer's premium.
Hall of Famer Cowens' MVP trophy was the first of its kind ever to make an appearance at auction. The 3ft. 9in. trophy was tipped to be the sale's premier lot, and it did not disappoint, attracting 47 bids before hammering $156K.
"The price paid for the trophy shocked us," said Grey Flannel Auctions' president Richard E. Russek. "It was the last item in the sale, and after it hammered, the whole audience stood up and started clapping."
Russek said phone lines were "jam-packed" throughout the auction, with bids coming in from many different countries. "Basketball is no longer just an American sport," he said. "There are leagues in Europe and Israel, and it's huge in Asia. It's a great international sport, now, and the crush of bidders from other nations in our auction was tangible proof of that."
The enduring popularity of superstar Julius Erving was evidenced by the $132,000 price paid for an ABA Eastern
Conference All-Star uniform game-used by "Dr. J" in 1974. The striking red, white and blue uniform embellished with stars, Erving's name, his number "32" and "ABA" was one of a number of items in the auction that came from the collection of veteran TV commentator and 25-time Emmy® Award winner Al Trautwig.
Another item that generated tremendous bidding interest was the only Lenny Wilkens game-used St. Louis Hawks road jersey known to exist. "It had all the bells and whistles – rarity, provenance, the connection to a Hall of Famer and Top 50 player, and a letter of authenticity from Lenny himself," Russek said. Entered in the auction with a minimum-bid requirement of $10,000, it soared to a winning bid of $78,000.
The competition for rare jerseys was "frenzied," Russek said. "Collectors knew what they wanted, and they went for it full bore." Among the top apparel lots was a 1971 Wes Unseld Eastern Conference All-Star game-used and autographed uniform, $60,000; and a 1984-85 Michael Jordan rookie Chicago Bulls game-used and autographed road uniform, $54,000. A Dan Issel ABA Eastern Conference All-Star game-used uniform was close behind at $51,000.
Celtics fans cross several generations. This led to five-figure prices on several items displaying the fabled Boston team's green and white motif. A 1973-74 Dave Cowens Boston Celtics game-used home jersey, which was offered together with a pair of Dennis Johnson's game-used home shorts, scored $39,000. A treasure from 1980 was the Celtics home warm-up jacket worn by former collegiate superstar "Pistol" Pete Maravich, who joined the Celts that year as a free agent after playing 17 early-season games. With the Celtics team name emblazoned on the front and the name "Maravich" on the back, the jacket's visual appeal was further enhanced by a shamrock logo on each of the sleeves. Fans pushed the bidding on the jacket to $60,000.
Of the five championship rings offered in the sale, Robert Horry's dazzling 2005 San Antonio Spurs World Championship ring fared best. The weighty 14K white gold player's ring with diamonds totaling 2.55 carats came with its original wood presentation box and letters of authenticity. Described in Grey Flannel's catalog as "the finest-looking NBA championship ring this auction house has ever seen," it flew past its $5,000 reserve to reach $48,000.
The evening prior to the auction, Grey Flannel hosted a star-studded Reunion Dinner on Center Court at the Hall of Fame. It was attended by 2011 Hall of Fame inductees, returning Hall of Famers and a who's who of other basketball dignitaries.
"This was our sixth year to host the pre-Induction dinner, but we've actually had a close association with the Hall of Fame
for 25 years," said Russek. "Many of the players at the dinner thanked us for our support, which was very gratifying. The association we enjoy with the Hall of Fame is very important to us. We're in it for the long haul."
Grey Flannel's next event will be its annual Holiday Auction, tentatively scheduled for Nov. 15, 2011. Additional information will appear soon on the company's website at www.greyflannelauctions.com. To contact Grey Flannel Auctions, call 631-288-7800 or e-mail email@example.com.
Cast-iron toys ruled the roost at Bertoia's million-dollar summer saleAugust 22nd, 2011 by admin
VINELAND, N.J. – Hefty cast-iron trucks, banks and figural doorstops found favor with bidders who congregated at Bertoia's New Jersey gallery for a lighthearted summer auction of 'Toys with Character.' The June 10-11 sale grossed $1,014,000, with above-estimate and even world-record prices achieved on many of the 1,481 lots offered. All prices quoted in this report include a 15% buyer's premium.
Topping the roster of prices realized was a circa-1933 toy version of an Ingersoll Rand Mack truck with painted driver figure. Made by Hubley, the richly hued green and red truck with spoked nickel wheels featured an open-frame body that exposed a well-detailed nickel compressor. In pristine to near-mint condition, it rumbled past its $8,000-$10,000 estimate to settle at $13,800.
An extensive selection of still banks featured as its centerpiece the Guy and Kim Zani collection. The tightly focused collection consisted entirely of antique banks shaped as safes, some with padlocks, others with combination locks. A rare and unusual entry, a J.M. Harper safe bank topped with a well executed bust of President Grover Cleveland was described in the auction catalog as "reportedly one of two known," and was bid to $11,500 against an estimate of $8,000-$9,000.
Just as desirable as the mechanical banks that were cast from it, a complex brass three-dimensional pattern for J. & E. Stevens' "Cat and Mouse" bank was in excellent, complete condition. It earned more than twice the low estimate at $8,050.
Bertoia's is known as a premier source for early cast-iron doorstops. The company's owner, Jeanne Bertoia, is a noted expert on the subject and has spent years collecting, studying, writing about and selling the very best doorstop examples at auction. Some 75 doorstops were entered in the summer sale, and predictably, a Hubley Art Deco design of two bathing beauties under a parasol, signed "Fish," created a bidding frenzy.
"The Bathing Beauties doorstop is an extremely popular form with collectors, and this example was in particularly nice
condition," said Bertoia. "It was estimated at $3,000-$4,000 and sold for $10,350, which we believe to be a world auction record."
Another doorstop that may well have set an auction record was the Hubley/Fish Messenger Boy. A classic depiction of a Deco-era bellboy holding a wrapped bouquet of flowers, its bright colors and near-mint condition helped elicit a winning bid of $8,050 against an estimate of $4,000-$5,000.
A flotilla of handsome toy boats commanded a first-class fare from bidders. The flagship turned out to be an early 20th-century Bing (Germany) clockwork King Edward gunboat. Made of hand-painted tin and measuring an impressive 29 inches in length, it retained its original guns, funnels, masts and lifeboats. The boat sold within estimate for $8,625. Both a Bing Leviathan painted-tin clockwork oceanliner and Buddy 'L' pressed-steel tugboat achieved a closing price of $6,900.
Tinplate character toys finishing in the top dozen lots of the sale were led by an all-time favorite with Disney collectors – a Distler (Germany) tinplate clockwork Mickey Mouse Hurdy Gurdy with tiny dancing Minnie Mouse on top of the barrel organ. A highly sought-after toy, it exceeded estimate to close at $8,050. Joining the beloved mice were two other coveted German clockwork toys: a boxed Lehmann Masuyama, which depicts a Japanese woman being transported in a rickshaw; and an extremely rare Eppie Hogg in Auto, made by Nifty. Each of the toys made $6,090.
Collectors had a superb array of comic and other character toys from which to choose at the June auction, since the section contained part one – approximately 300 toys – from the renowned Ronnie and Sandy Rosen collection. Bertoia's is auctioning the Rosens' wonderfully varied 1,200-piece personal collection in three segments, with parts II and III yet to come.
Bertoia's will conduct a Sept. 23-24 auction featuring the cast-iron automotive toy collection of the late Fred Castan, and the eclectic American and European toy collection of the late Ralph Tomlinson. Additional information is available online at www.bertoiaauctions.com. Tel. 856-692-1881 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

A potential sale of the Scranton Sewer Authority could be a long, complicated process, with the first step being determining what the authority is worth, officials and experts said.
To that end, the SSA this week issued public notices seeking qualifications from firms proposing to do a "market valuation" of the authority.
"It's a good first step to get the valuation analysis," said John Brosious, deputy director of the Pennsylvania Municipal Authorities Association. "We don't always see that first step of saying, 'Hey, let's go out and find out what it's worth.' So, if they get a good estimated value, they would have an initial bottom line of what it's worth and suitors would look at that and do their own economic analysis."
A valuation study would assess the SSA's financial and operating history, condition and value of assets, factors relating to environmental regulation and compliance, financial market conditions, and legal and regulatory constraints.
If the SSA, which serves Scranton and Dunmore, hires a valuation firm, a study likely could be long and complicated, SSA Executive Director Gene Barrett said.
If the SSA and the municipalities decide to pursue a sale, the SSA would dissolve and its functions, debt and assets would revert to the municipalities, Mr. Brosious said. They then would sell the SSA to a private firm. The proceeds would be used to liquidate debt, and whatever is left over would be shared by the municipalities, he said.
"Typically, it's a one-time cash infusion back to the municipalities and they can do whatever they want with that," he said. "But a sale does give away local control, and the asset's gone."
An asset sale was discussed during Scranton's debate last year over revising its Act 47 recovery plan. Designated as financially distressed for 21 years, the city this year needs to pay a $17 million landmark court arbitration award to its fire and police unions and a $5 million increase in mandatory minimum pension contributions.
Gerald Cross, executive director of the Pennsylvania Economy League, the city's Act 47 recovery coordinator, said, "The sale of assets has always been considered as a means toward elimination of the distressed status and the city needs to continue looking at all avenues to eliminate its distressed status."
City council President Janet Evans said a main advantage to sewer privatization is that future rate hikes to pay for $140 million in mandated upgrades over the next 25 years would be spread among a large private firm's ratepayers, instead of just having Scranton and Dunmore ratepayers foot the bill.
However, Mr. Brosious said privatization would not necessarily translate into lower rates.
"Municipal authorities only have to break even. Private companies are in it to make a profit, so you might see rate increases much higher than you might see with a publicly owned authority," Mr. Brosious said. "Typically we don't see the sticker shock immediately. They might keep rates in the ballpark in a year or two," and then raise them.
And while a private firm conceivably could do upgrades more cheaply than a public entity, variables could be compliance, performance and rates, he said. Potential buyers might include large private water companies, and the costly federal mandates would be a big consideration, he added.
"Much like buying an old house, they will ask, 'What do I have to put into it,' " he said. "They would have to look at their business plan and say, 'Does this make sense to us financially.' "
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission also would have to approve a sale of the authority to a private firm, said PUC press secretary Jennifer Kocher.
Established in the late 1960s, the SSA is governed by a five-member board, including four members from Scranton and one from Dunmore. At an SSA meeting last month, Dunmore's longtime board member Leonard Verrastro expressed concern about potential privatization. He said he does not want to see a repeat of a prior management agreement with a private firm that ended with the authority having to pay millions to that firm. Mr. Barrett said a possible sale would not be akin to the former failed management agreement.
"There's some people that want to do it (a sale), so you can't say no" to a valuation study, Mr. Verrastro said. "We've got to be awful careful. I'm against it if it's something like we did last time, I certainly am."

DisKinect is an interactive robot art installation that uses the Microsoft Kinect to sense an audience member's movements. The sculpture moves to mimic the participant.
This device used I gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer to approximate the 3-D movements of hand gestures into a virtual environment. The device used Bluetooth to communicate real-time data with a desk top application. Later versions included physical buttons to act as input devices to control the application. The concept behind the device was to allow for more fluid interaction between physical space and virtual space. The alternate form factor resembled a wand or a baton because of the familiar interaction associated with the object.
The functionality of this projects was to integrate air quality sensors into and wireless communication system that was powered by a photo voltaic cell. The mechanical elements both track the light source and correct the orientation of the robot if it is upside down or sideways. The air quality sensors measure values over time to understand how seasonality, time of day, and location affects air quality.
An architectural exploration of how modular systmes can extend across large open spaces.

The series is comprised with Golden Warriors (1), Red Moon (2), Time Master (3), Alpha Omega (4), Blue Abyss (5), Divine Blood (6) and Ultimate Battle (7).
The Diamond Arrow—Golden Warriors
Set in the medieval age, the series transports readers into a superior reading experience by tastefully combining vivid descriptions of stunning scenes while adding unexpected twists with a touch of momentary suspense that had ravished faithful readers leading them for wanting more.
Painted on a background of Christian themes, the series explores moral values in the ever present conflict between good and evil while proposing, in a fictional manner, alternative perspectives with adventures that "resonate long after completion" as local reviewer had put it so well.
The Diamond Arrow (2)—Red Moon
To honor a duel, the golden warriors are forced to venture by night into the darkest region of a witch-cursed forest. Under the meek light of a red moon, they affront the wrath of an opponent who seems invisible—or so they thought. Embezzled by the destructive abilities of a weapon of darkness which allured as a challenging match to the Diamond Arrow, one of the golden warriors is shaken to the core. As Silas and Lydia face the works of an infuriated dragon, a convincing witch, and a tyrant with dozen of wicked minions under his command, will they lose their faith or come to realize that they are more than conquerors? To discover what happened, dive into the medieval tale as the adventure continues in The Diamond Arrow—Red Moon.
The Diamond Arrow (3) – Time Master
The third expedition of the acclaimed Diamond Arrow series picks up after the golden warriors' providential victory over powers of darkness in the forest of Heb Nabir. As they leave the peculiar woodland which was, at one point, cursed by a malevolent witch, the twins are filled with newly acquired knowledge.
Under the leadership of Ariel the warrior angel, the golden warriors now dive into a new set of adventures that leads them to travel through time. As they recurrently disappear through a golden portal that originated from the Mountain-Of-Daily-Thunder, Silas and Lydia are seeking to find a remarkable personality who was previously announced by the Lystran Prophetess, the one and only Anna. To fulfill the prophecy, they are breathlessly trailing the Time Master.
Follow the golden warriors' rapid and delightful footsteps by embarking with them in the third action-adventure of the series, The Diamond Arrow – Time Master.

Harborview CRNAs
Any CRNAs out there working at Harborview? I was just wondering how much (if any) Trauma exposure you get. I've heard that Harboview is a busy Trauma Center, but I've also heard that UW has a Trauma Anesthesiology fellowship there and so I'm wondering if CRNAs ever get any good trauma cases, or if the fellows get them all.

What we eat determines the kind of life we lead and also has a strong impact on our health. Foods rich in nutrients can not only keep us away from catching diseases but can also enhance the way we look, the appearance and health of hair and even our vision. Yes, healthy diet can have an effect on our eye health and can help us improve our sight or protect it from damage. There are many foods which are especially very good for the eyes and the following is a list of the best 7 ones:
1. Kale
Kale is a food which is rich in lutein and zeaxanthin and these two antioxidants help us be protected against retina damage many other eye related problems like cataract and muscular degeneration. Including this item in diet along with other foods like spinach and turnip can do wonders for our eyes.
2. Oranges
Oranges are full of vitamin C and can help the blood vessels of the eyes. This vitamin also helps in reducing the risk of cataract and thus oranges and similar foods like strawberries and tomatoes are great for the eyes.
3. Peanuts
Peanuts are a rich source of vitamin E and this nutrient is important for protecting eyes from free radical damage. Moreover, peanuts can also help prevent muscular degeneration and cataract.
4. Kidney beans
Kidney beans are another food which is just superb for your eyes. Kidney beans are full of zinc and vitamin A. both these elements improve night vision and can help in cataract prevention. Oysters too work well for the same reason.
5. Salmon
Salmon is loaded with omega 3 fatty acids and thus nutrient works brilliantly for the eyes. This nutrient is important for slowing down the rate at which eye diseases hit us. Moreover, these also help in preventing dry eye syndrome.
6. Whole grains
Whole grains are also great for the eye health because they reduce the risk of age related muscular degeneration and may help them improvement in vision as well. Include whole grains in your diet everyday for best results.
7. Apricots
Apricots are loaded with beta carotene which is an element that can help with night vision. This beta carotene gets converted into vitamin A which prevents cataract and is thus great for the eye health. Some others foods which are rich in beta carotene are sweet potatoes, carrots and winter squash.

And the winner is...
We are very excited to announce the two winners in our Science Fiction Season Instagram Competition.
15 May 2014
As part of Science Fiction: New Death, we are showing some of the best sci-fi films ever made including The Thing, Aliens, Akira, They Live and Primer.
The exhibition explores how our relationship with technology has blurred the lines between the real and the virtual; making our everyday lives feel increasingly like science fiction.
We invited our Instagram followers to take photos and videos of the sci-fi landscapes, objects, people, buildings and activities that they see and experience everyday and we were over whelmed with the response.
From all the incredible entries we received, our curatorial team selected their two favourites who both win tickets to one of Sci-Fi screenings.
For more info on our Science Fiction season, visit the What's On section of the website.

How to Play Lady Macbeth? Imagine Being Mauled by Tigers
How does Broadway's Kate Fleetwood get ready for her "Out, out, damned spot?" scene?
Kate Fleetwood, who plays shady Lady Mac in the excellently scary British production of Macbeth that opened on Broadway last night after a sold-out run at BAM, didn't threaten us with violence after the show the way her co-star Patrick Stewart did the other day. Not that her mind can't go that way. The production is set in a dank basement kitchen that players enter via a sinister elevator. "Before I descend in the lift [for the famous "Out, damn spot" mad scene], I can't even repeat what goes on in my brain," she told us. Repeat, repeat!, we demanded. "I was thinking about the Hyrcan tiger that Macbeth mentions and imagining it ripping my arm off. Okay? Also, there's a really nasty conveyor belt suspending the lift. It's really ugly and industrial, and sometimes I imagine I'm lying on it and being thrown in the horrible motor. It's Gothic! But the language requires you to be in the moment," she added. "It's very muscular."
Not that she doesn't psychologize her obliquely written part just a bit. "I became a mum two and a half years ago," she said. "Lady Macbeth had this unknown baby. Who's this baby that she talks about? 'I've given suck, and know how tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me.' Possibly from a previous marriage." She had her own baby, by the way, with her husband, Rupert Goold, who directs the show. Does she ever need to goad his career along in a Lady Mac–ish fashion? "No, no, no!" she insisted. "I'm quite old-fashioned actually, as a wife and mum. I really like making Sunday luncheon and watching him play with the baby while I'm making the roast potatoes." —Tim Murphy

A mentally-ill Merrillville, Ind., man today was sentenced to 60 years in prison for murdering his father last year.
Shawn Jackson, 28, was found guilty but mentally ill of first-degree murder July 9.
Prosecutors originally argued for the maximum 65-year sentence. According to Deputy Prosecutor Reginald Marcus, Jackson had told his brother -- who then told their father -- about Jackson's plans for murder before carrying them out, making the act premeditated.
On Feb. 23, 2008, Brenda Jackson, Shawn's mother, was sitting at the dining room table in her home in the 1500 block of 82nd Place in Merrillville when her husband Larry came back from the store, according to a press release from the Lake County prosecutor's office.

Hypoxi offers new way to shape your body
Unorthodox method uses vacuum compression therapy and exercise
Lilly Garcia was cynical of most exercise routines after years of struggling with her weight and related health issues.
After dinner one night, she walked by the Hypoxi studio in West Ave and read its sign: "Design Your Body."
She laughed at the notion but was curious enough to schedule a consultation.
Within one month at Hypoxi, she lost 15 pounds and made remarkable improvements in her health.
"I was always trying to find a way to lose weight," said Garcia, 58, an administrative assistant. "I have high blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. After that month, my doctor said I had the best numbers ever. It was the first time my doctor was happy with me."
Founded in 1997 by Dr. Norbert Egger in Germany, Hypoxi is a weight-loss and body-shaping technique that uses vacuum-compression therapy and fat-burning exercise. It's designed to help with problem areas: persistent fat on the stomach, hips, buttocks and thighs, cellulite and weak connective tissue. It uses the natural principles of lipid metabolism to reduce fat. At the same time, the training is supposed to improve complexion and circulation.
Today, Hypoxi claims more than 250,000 users in 2,000 studios in 40 countries, including Europe, the United Kingdom, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the Middle East and South Africa.
Yet, it's new in the United States, with only one location in Houston and four nationwide.
Hypoxi Houston co-owner Caroline Goonie wants more people to experience the benefits of Hyproxi therapy.
"It helps overcome the challenges of stubborn fatty areas you can't lose through diet and exercise alone," she said. "It's a different concept, but we're not a gimmick but based on scientific findings."
There are four Hypoxi machines: HDC for overall cellulite reduction, the Vacunaut treadmill for stubborn stomach fat, the L250 reclined stationery bike for the butt and thigh area and the S120 standing stationery bike for stomach, hips and thighs.
Clients are advised to use the machines up to 30 minutes three times a week for a month. A heart-rate monitor ensures clients stay within a fat-burning zone. Also, Goonie and her staff provide clients with dietary guidelines, including no food two hours after a session to avoid spiking insulin levels, which can trigger the storing of fat.
Goonie discovered Hypoxi while living in Australia. She tried it for a month, lost 6 pounds and developed a slimmer tummy, her problem area.
She and her mother and business partner Mireya Marache, opened the Hypoxi studio in Sugar Land in 2010 and relocated to West Ave in 2012.
"I didn't like to exercise at all and never could find the time for it," said Goonie, a Houston native who formerly worked as a financial analyst with Wells Fargo.
Hypoxi is especially helpful for those with poor circulation since the vacuum pressure can help increase blood flow, she said.
Shadston Pittman, fitness director for the City of Houston, is a skeptic of targeted weight-lost programs but admits he's not familiar with Hypoxi.
"I try not to discourage people, but I tell them the combination of diet and exercise is tried and true. I think the leaner you are, the easier it is to work on trouble spots, but it still reverts back to losing body fat through diet and exercise."
Pittman added the techniques, like Hypoxi, can offer more fitness options than the traditional gym workouts.
"Now people are getting fit and enjoying it doing things they like to do," he said. "It doesn't have to be hard, but just consistent."
Garcia said she did five Hypoxi sessions a week for a month during lunch breaks because with a job, home and children, she didn't have time for long workouts at a gym. She stopped the sessions in January because of the cost, she said.
Hypoxi isn't cheap. Training sessions are $30-$71 a session with one- to three-month memberships available.
Garcia does plan to return soon to help lose a few more pounds.
"To live good, feel good and for my doctor to take me off all the medication I was on, the expense is worth it," she said. "My life is worth it."

Tanjungpinang is the ferry port on the western side of the large island of Bintan, which, itself lies immediately east of Bantam Island. This big, busy city is well worth a visit if only for the market.
Position 0°56'N, 104°27'E. (Tanjungpinang)
Whilst Tanjungpinang is a clearance port, it is only approved for clearance out of Indonesia, not as a port of entry.
NEW Indonesian CIQP procedures came into effect from the 27th February, 2016.
A CAIT, Green Book/Sailing Permit and use of an Agent to obtain clearance papers are no longer required. See Noonsite Indonesia Formalities for full details.
Cruisers have reported having problems in Tanjungpinang when clearing out (see report here) and it may be wise to consider alternative options, such as Belitung.
The most straightforward place to complete both inward and outward clearance is at the Bandar Bentan Telani Ferry Terminal on the North coast of Bintan (see details below), however there is an agent fee here for clearance.
Last updated April 2017.

The harbour approach is straight forward and easily navigable, however ferry traffic can be heavy depending on the time of day. The the many fast ferries will indicate the route in, but the buoyage is clear and the leading line accurate.
There is an anchorage in good firm mud near the fuel barge (fuel for ferries only) at 00° 56.17'N, 104° 26.267'E.
Protection is good and the wash from ferries is not a nuisance as the ferry terminal is slightly down stream. Tugs and tows use the river so it is important to keep the fairway clear.
Fuel is not available at the barge for yachts but only by can at a stilt house close by with plants on its boards 250m up river.
Landing can be made at one of the small piers used by local ferries. Either the one painted yellow or at the excellent Chinese fish restaurant just north of it.
It is easy to get a water taxi ashore during the day (just flag one down) but more difficult at night. Security might be an issue, as it has been in the past, so take normal precautions.
There is an excellent fruit vegetable and fish market close east of the landing jetties. There are supermarkets, but at some distance from the river.
The locals are very welcoming.
Last updated April 2017.

Charlie Sheen Practically Groveling Now
"I'll get that f-cking job back!"
In February, Charlie Sheen called Two and a Half Men "drivel, a pukefest that everybody worships." In March, he was fired from the series, calling his axing "very good news," noting that CBS execs "continue to be in breach, like so many whales." But last week, Sheen suddenly claimed he's in talks with CBS about returning to Two and a Half Men, before CBS brass said, "There have been no discussions, and there will be no discussions." Still, reality's never stopped him before. On Friday in Toronto, Sheen said he's "confident" that Two and a Half Men will return, with him in it. Admitting he wants to drop his lawsuits against CBS and go back to work, Sheen promised, "I'll get that fucking job back!" [HR]

It's not a coincidence bookies drive through town in BMWs and Vegas casinos build multibillion-dollar gambling palaces. The house wins.
So maybe we should stop trying to analyze the matchups, injuries, home-field advantage and who is hot. Perhaps a more effective strategy would be to simply figure out what the bookies want to happen, and then bet on their side.
The folks at SportsInsights.com do that, tracking the number of bets that come in on each side at six independent major offshore books. Using that info, they decipher who is pushing the line and thus what those books are rooting for.
"You want to follow the sharp money, you want to follow the Warren Buffetts of our industry," said Dan Fabrizio, the president of SportsInsights. "Not the other way around."
Sunday's game between the Patriots and Giants sticks out to Fabrizio, and not just because it's the Super Bowl. As of Thursday, 61 percent of bets were coming in on the underdogs from New York.
"That's very rare. Typically, you'll see the favorite getting the majority of public bets," said Fabrizio. "I would say nine times out of 10 it's going to be on the favorite."
Everyone and their grandmother wagers the Super Bowl, so the line appears to be getting pushed by unsophisticated, or "square" bettors. After opening at Patriots minus-3.5 in most spots, the line has gone to minus-3 and minus-2.5 in some shops.
SportsInsights is recommending a play on the Patriots at minus-2.5. No one knows if that will hit, but we do know that they will be cheering when the bookies cheer.
Prop bets
1. Will Kelly Clarkson's bare belly be showing during the national anthem? You'll get 3-1 odds, but that's a bad bet. After Janet's malfunction, no way we'll get a peek.
2. How many times will Peyton Manning be shown on TV during? The over/under is 3.5, making the over a strong play. Between Eli, the neck and Peyton's impending release, this is like free money.
3. Who will the Super Bowl MVP thank first? The favorite is "teammates" at 5/4, but the value play is "Does not thank anyone" at 5/2. These guys have to look out for No. 1.
4. Who will have more points: Paul Pierce or the Patriots? The Pats are getting 3.5 and the smart money is on them. Pierce is up against defensive stopper Tony Allen.

Cross posting from my Quiz Blog as this will be of interest to everyone, not limited to quizzers.
Hello Quizzards,
First I would like to take this rare opportunity to thank each and every one of you for the constant support and encouragement that keeps infusing a fresh lease of life into Inquizzitive, time and again!
When I started this blog, in December of 2005, I knew my biggest challenge was my employer. Yes Google. No, they didn't have a problem with my maintaining a little known trivia blog. It's just that Google had killed the joy of online quizzing as any 'dry' text question would just be copied, pasted into the Google search bar and voila you had the answer staring at you in the snippet of search results 1, 2 or at most 3. A big win for Google, a big blow to online quizzing.
That's what prompted me to start the pictorial connection of quizzing in Inquizzitive. However, I always knew that this format too would be 'cracked' one day, and the tool that would help in doing so would be a RISE (reverse image search engine). Yes, a search engine where you can somehow upload an image and it magically tells you what the image is. I knew it was a few years away, how many I didn't know. Today I do.
A friend and fellow quizzer, KingM (he prefers to be a little anonymous online) answered today's 'very tough' question by first looking for a RISE and then by using it smartly to get the clues. When I learnt about this, I was quite shell shocked and wanted to get into denial by moderating his comment where he has mentioned the product. Then I realised what a brilliant technological advancement this is and instead of trying to suppress information and innovation (in vain) let me introduce you to TinEye.
his Wikipedia article.
Now let's assume you
1) know the url from where I took this image and
2) You just have the image but not the url
All you need to do is go to www.tineye.com and in case of
1) Just paste the url or 2) just upload the picture in the search field and the reverse search engine will throw up a result as shown below
Yes, it's that simple!
As of now it has some teething problems, and doesn't recognise all images as smoothly as it should but I am sure in the coming days this will become a technology as solid and reliable as search is today. As a technology enthusiast I applaud this achievement! As the owner of Inquizzitive, I take this up as a challenge to continue giving you questions that will keep you engaged in spite of the new tools at hand!
With that I introduce TinEye, the RISE to you! Go ahead, play with it!

Whether your purpose is to go fly fishing or canoeing, the Pere Marquette is one of the most perfect places to go. This river has a reputation for being one of the finest fisheries for steelhead, trout, and salmon in the Great Lakes region. It is also very popular with canoeists.
Josh Mead, an Orvis Endorsed Fly Fishing Guide, has fished the famous rivers of Michigan since he was five years old. Learn about fly fishing the Pere Marquette River where huge Browns, Steelhead and Salmon make their home.
Josh has been fishing in Michigan since he was just 5 years old. Josh tried his luck with fly fishing in 2005 with plugging and bottom bouncing. He began on lakes and ponds for bass and bluegill and later rounded out his fishing and entomology by working and managing the fly shop at Pere Marquette River Lodge for the past 4 years. He is an Orvis Endorsed Fly Fishing Guide since 2008. His laid back and easygoing approach makes him a great choice for beginners and kids. The Pere Marquette River is located in the central northwest part of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. It runs through two different counties: Lake County and Mason County.
Pere Marquette is the only free flowing river in the Midwest. It is a spring-fed river that has absolutely no dams in it. It is also just a phenomenal reproduction fishery. It doesn't have any steelhead or salmon stocking. The river has 100% natural reproduction.
The depth of the river depends on the time of the year. It ranges and fluctuates with the rainfall. The depth can range anywhere from 2 feet deep to around 16 feet deep, and another two or three feet deeper under higher normal water conditions.
Pere Marquette is a year-round fishery. Browns, rainbows, and steelhead are available in the stream all year, though steelheads are quite rare during summer. Once every 10 years, The River freezes over for two weeks around the month of February.
Pere Marquette is better suited to floating than wading for access. Foot travel is quite limited in the river, but there is a lot of foot access in certain sections of the river. Under high water conditions, the river can become tough. Once the bottom of the river cannot be seen, it becomes very dangerous for wading. Using the boat for transportation makes it possible to get more access and provides better opportunities for fishing. "You can get into areas where people haven't been relentlessly pounding on it."
The laws of accessibility in the state of Michigan are the same as in Montana. Anyone can go up to the highest water mark of the river. Getting out of the boat to fish in any private area is possible, as long there are private lands on both sides. By law, one can get out onto private property and go round an obstruction, but he must immediately get back into the river.
The salmon, steelhead, and brown trout are the most sought-after fish in the Pere Marquette – steelhead in the spring, salmon in the fall, and brown trout and rainbows year-round. Steelheads are the number one sought-after in the Pere Marquette. They are the prized possessions. They are extremely tough to catch, especially when they are fresh.
The Pere Marquette River is famous for the mayfly species, Hexagenia, better known as the hex. Their sizes range anywhere from 2 to 2.5 inches long. They are cream and yellow-colored giant flies. The best strategy on catching a hex hatch is to pick the right type of water. In most of the hexagenia water, the hatch happens below the Upper Branch Bridge down to the Indian. At the Swamp above the Indian, is a lot of murky water where the hexagenias hatch and reside. After that, they fly upstream to deposit their eggs. Anywhere from the Lower Branch to the Upper Branch is great for catching mayflies. The Lower Branch to Indian is the most popular hex water in the area. The last weeks of June going the first week of July is perfect for catching Hexagenia limbata.
The best time to catch steelhead on the fly is the last two weeks of March and the first two week in April. Most people say that Easter time is the best time to do it. Steelheads become really active when they are on water temperatures between 32 to 48 degrees. The best combination of rod, reel, and line for steelhead is a 10-foot-7 weight with a good reel with a drag on it – something that will sustain the cold water and not going to freeze up instantly or has seal drag. Josh's top go-to flies for steelhead are the ultimate common prince nymph, the hex nymph, and the egg fly.
For salmon fishing, the peak of the season is mid-September through mid-October. The best combination of rod, reel, and line weight is less than a 9-weight. A 9-foot-9 or 10-foot-9 weight is the best combination. Since salmon are typically bigger, they are meaner and stronger, thus the need for heavier weight rods. Stoneflies are one of the favorite flies for fishing salmon. They do not really feed on nymphs so the best flies are something big and flashy, like white or silver, to get their attention.
Listen to our full interview with Josh Mead and learn more about fly fishing browns, steelhead, and salmon at the Pere Marquette River.

False billing tops healthcare fraud cases, GAO says
Fraudulent billing is the most common healthcare fraud scheme, making up about 68% of all resolved cases, per the Government Accountability Office.
In a report released Monday, the GAO reviewed 739 healthcare fraud cases resolved in 2010. Of those cases, about 43% were related to billing for services that were not provided. Another 25% of cases involved providers billing for services that were not medically necessary.
Other common schemes include falsifying records at 25% of resolved cases, paying kickbacks at 21% and fraudulently obtaining controlled substances or misbranding prescription drugs also at 21%.
Providers were complicit in 62% of the cases, while beneficiaries were complicit in 14%, the report said.
For cases where individuals billed the government or private health insurance companies using a beneficiary or provider's information without their knowledge, the GAO suggests "smart card" technology that verifies that both the provider and beneficiary's approval of the billing. Smart cards could have potentially prevented around 22% of the cases reviewed, GAO said. However, they would not have made a difference in cases where the provider misrepresented their services.
