Device maker tries its hand in the Facebook app arena
Diabetes tech firm Medtronic rolled out a Facebook strategy to help diabetes patients share milestones.
The effort, Let's Build Our Timeline Together, builds on the company's Facebook presence. The page, which had almost 37,000 likes as of July 18, draws from photos visitors upload, and includes mini-bios of diabetes patients. The result weaves specific moments—like a six-year-old's day at the zoo—with information like "Avoid potential exposure to strong magnetic fields on roller coasters, remove your insulin pump and put it in a safe place."
Amanda Sheldon, director of PR and social communication at the diabetes business unit of Medtronic, told MM&M that the "patient stories" part evolved because patients pounced at the chance to connect.
"Our community really loves to share their stories and their photos and what is going on in their lives, and they started this from the day we launched our page," she said.
Medtronic posts 1-2 items per day, and the page blends such other elements of its social outreach as YouTube, Twitter and a blog into one space, but with a personal touch. Patients may visit the Twitter feed for customer service and support information or YouTube for helpful videos, but the Facebook touchpoint embraces a greater variety of tonality and information.Sheldon noted that the page also makes the company's history about more than insulin pumps, focusing on the ability of patients "to live full lives, healthy lives."

8 Thacher Lawyers Defect To Greenberg Traurig
The beleaguered Thacher has seen its profits plummet amid the mortgage crisis because of its focus on securitization work.
Thacher's own White Plans office has reportedly closed and the firm announced over the summer that it had laid off 60 associates. In November, the firm offered 29 first-year associates the option of four months...

It is difficult to know in which sort of mood one should approach the coming festive season. On the one hand there is the inherent optimism that every entrepreneur lives by. On the other end there is the endless stream of economic statistics that leave us none the wiser as to whether we are finally on the road to recovery or facing the prospect of a triple dip recession.
Whatever mood you are in it surely cannot be enhanced by the behaviour of our elected representatives who on the one hand indignantly lambast greedy multinationals for applying laws that the MPs themselves have drafted and approved (although clearly not understood) whilst simultaneously hiring a lawyer to fight for the right to apply the letter of the dubious rules regarding their expenses and the profits made on their taxpayer financed second homes.
Clearly they have no idea of the further contempt that they are likely to be held in as their obvious self-interest is contrasted with the exhortation that we are all in this together.
The shenanigans surrounding MPs and big business seem a world away from the day to day struggles of those of us who work within enterprise Britain. And yet we need them both to wake up and realise that they have to get their combined acts together to keep the economy moving forward in a more sustainable way.
We need big business to play fair with their taxes and their wallets, using their cash piles to stimulate investment and pay their smaller suppliers on time. We need politicians to use their powers positively to deal with unnecessary regulation to help us deliver the growth that we know we can with the right support.
Wishful thinking? Maybe but it is the season of goodwill and goodwill is probably what the economy needs most right now.
Anyway I have decided to remain cheerful and am determined to have a good Christmas. 2013 will no doubt still provide lots of opportunities to those willing to go out there and grab them. To everybody out there, thank you for reading my thoughts this year and have a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

Genre: Point-And-Click Adventure
Release date: March 22, 2016
Ahoy, Matey! Gather round to hear the tales of Nelly Cootalot, a whimsical pirate maiden. Baron Widebeard is out to plunder treasure; treasure that rightfully belongs to Nelly's mentor, William Bloodbeard. Since Bloodbeard is sleeping with the fishes, it's up to Nelly to chase down Widebeard and prevent the plunder of Bloodbeard's legacy. Can you help Nelly, or will you end up walking the plank yourself?
Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet is a point-and-click adventure game. You'll play as the title character, pirate Nelly Cootalot. Explore the land as you attempt to chase down Widebeard and unravel the secret of Bloodbeard's final treasure hunt. Nelly is joined by Bloodbeard's familiar, Sebastian. Sebastian is a bird who offers Nelly advice. He is voiced by Tom Baker, the fourth Doctor Who. That was the hook that made me want to try this game. He does a wonderful job, as does the full voice cast. I'm not used to seeing such exceptional voice-acting experience in a point-and-click adventure game.
The gameplay for Nelly is similar to what you're used to in other adventure games. Move the mouse around the screen.Click to have Nelly walk to a new location. Click on an item to interact with it, such as picking up everything you can or talking to other characters.
Nelly is a character-driven story, so you'll be talking to a lot of characters. Aside from Tom Baker, the game supports a cast of professional actors. The sound quality impressed me; and the expressiveness of our cast is what makes this game shine.
The first part of the game involves Nelly finding out where Widebeard is traveling to and then finding a way to follow him. The second part of the game furthers your search. The final part of the game is a treasure hunt for Bloodbeard's treasure and the final showdown.
The puzzles are fairly straightforward, although I got stuck a few times. The answers were easy enough, but included just the right amount of trickery to make me think. Twice I spent hours pointing-and-clicking everything I could find with no end in sight. I stumbled onto the solution and started kicking myself for missing it .
The graphic style is whimsical and light. It's suitable for a modern adventure, but not overly detailed. I prefer this approach over pixel graphics often used in modern adventures. However, the game world is not as detailed as something like Deponia.
The game system had some minor issues in the press build. Some hotspots didn't highlight properly, but I could still interact with them. This didn't hinder my ability to solve the puzzles, so I just accidentally found some interactions.
The approach to conversation was rough at times. Dialog options would not disappear when they lost relevance. Sometimes dialog options would appear in the middle of a list instead of at the end; making it easy to miss something if I wasn't paying close attention. I easily added a few hours to my playing time strictly because I didn't see a new dialog option that showed up at the top of the conversation list instead of at the bottom.
Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet is a good game that borders on being a great game! The voice acting is top notch, and I enjoyed the light-hearted nature of the character conversations. The puzzles are as perfect as possible. They may make you pause, but they won't roadblock you for too long. If you like point-and-click adventure games, you'll find a lot to like here.
+ Whimsical Characters
+ Great Voice Acting
- Some hidden Hotspots
- Clunky Dialog System

Sept. 14 (UPI) -- A trade group in Norway said the extension of the tenure for Prime Minister Erna Solberg was a vote in favor of a stable framework for oil and natural gas.
Solberg's Conservative Party lost three seats in the 169-seat Parliament and is expected to sit down to form a new coalition with the majority Labor Party, the Progress Party, which holds 27 seats, and Christian Democrats, which hold 8 seats in the new government. Solberg's party holds 45 seats.
A spokesperson for the Norwegian Oil and Gas Association told UPI that four of the largest parties -- Labor, Conservative, Progress and Center -- are pro-industry and will ensure stability for the energy sector.
"We are satisfied that a large majority of the voters support a policy that ensures stable framework and an active oil and gas industry," Tommy Hansen, the head of the group's industry policy, said.
Hansen added that Solberg wasn't expected to make any major policy changes over the next four years.
Norway is one of the largest oil and natural gas producers in the world and, apart from Russia, the top exporter to the European market, designating nearly all of what it producers offshore to the foreign market.
Preliminary figures from July, the last full month for which data are available, show total average daily production of oil, natural gas liquids and condensate, an ultra-light form of oil, was 2 million barrels, an increase of 93,000 bpd from the previous month. A report from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate said total discovered and potential resources are up more than 40 percent since 1990. With 50 years behind it, the NPD estimated Norway is not yet at the halfway point as a producer.
For the economy, Statistics Norway, the country's record-keeping agency, said the producer price index from July to August improved by 0.4 percent, reversing a trend for the previous five months.
"Higher prices on crude oil, petroleum products and extraction services were the main contributors for the rise," the agency said in a statement.
In an address to the European Parliament in June, Solberg put climate change on the same footing as terrorism when it comes to global threats. Statoil, co-owned by the government, is one of the larger oil and gas companies in the world, but has a solid foundation established in the wind energy sector.
"It is interesting that the parties who want call for an end to Norwegian petroleum exploration, among them the Green Party, delivered worse elections than expected," Hansen added.

Plug Into Bargain Electricity
Are your electricity bills excessive? Maybe you're using too much power at peak hours. For instance, try running your dishwasher at night, rather than during the day. By taking advantage of off-peak rates, most consumers can save about $100 a year. Replace pre-1992 appliances when they break down with the new ones with the Energy Star label.

By all accounts, in the upcoming State of the Union speech Bush will be proposing an increase in Health Savings Accounts as his "solution" for the health care crisis, under the rubric of "consumer-driven health care." As you might expect, it's just another Republican scam to shift more costs and risks to consumers and reward GOP donors, in this case the health insurers and large employers. Insurers get to charge premiums and cover less costs; employers get to push more health care costs onto their employees.
If you're not familiar with HSA's, there is a terrific post explaining them at TPMCafe, Me and my HSA (alternate link, searched for and added in March 2012, because the original link rotted), by a surgeon who has had an HSA for some time. It's a great deal for her, because she's young, single, ridiculously healthy and has a high income. But she details the pros and cons for her and for most people, and concludes:
This is my reward for earning in the top 1% or so of George Bush's America – I make a profit on something that bankrupts people who aren't as fortunate. Note to self: avoid getting sick. Avoid getting old too.
Now I don't know what, or even if, George Bush thinks, but it seems to me that this is unfair, and borderline immoral. Like the proposed social security reforms, the Republicans are pretending to offer me more control and opportunity, but what they're really offering is the opportunity to eat all the risk myself. I can probably do that, but my situation is very rare. And I am so atypical of the standard American health care consumer that portraying HSAs as a national solution is ridiculous to the point of absurdity.
From personal experience, I can attest that HSA's suck, even if you have a relatively high income, but are not absolutely healthy. In October 2004, we were forced into a high-deductible insurance policy, which is coupled with an HSA. We are financially able to save money to the HSA, but because we have ongoing health care costs, we've needed to draw down the saved funds. The health insurance has paid for exactly nothing in the time that we've had it, though of course we've been paying the premiums. All of our heath costs have come out of our pockets, sometimes (but not always) laundered through the HSA. There are only two "good" things about the insurance. One, we would have 80% coverage in the event of a hospital stay, after paying $4,000 out of pocket (that high deductible). Second, though we pay for virtually all of our health care costs, we pay at the rate that the insurer has negotiated with the providers, so at least we don't pay the full retail price. It's hard to call paying $90 instead of $150 for a routine doctor's visit a terrific deal, compared to the days when we had real health insurance.
Oh, and to get the most out of the policy, you have to be diligent about following all of the famously confusing paperwork and making sure that the insurer has credited all visits towards the deductible. If you want prescription costs to count towards the deductible, you have to keep all the pharmacy receipts, make copies, then submit each receipt as a separate claim. Mind you, you won't get any money back for doing that bookkeeping; it just counts towards the deductible, so if you do get catastrophically sick, it will cost you a bit less out of pocket.
In short, I've already seen the Bush future. It has cost me more money, and I've gotten less health care for that money. It incentivizes me to put off going to the doctor because of the cost, thereby increasing the chance that I'll put off getting early treatment for illness. It's more complicated and bureaucratic. It sucks.
For more smart thoughts on health care and HSA's, I heartily recommend Ezra Klein's recent posts over at Tapped.

flynas market share continues to grow with number of passengers increasing by 32% in July 2014
Riyadh – August 2014 - According to King Khaled International Airport's preliminary statistical data, flynas continues to acquire a progressively larger share in the domestic air transport market, reaching 16.5% by the end of July of this year, compared to 14.4% during the same period in 2013.
These preliminary statistics have also revealed that flynas has transported about 1.25 million passengers locally from January through July, compared to 775,000 passengers during the same period in the previous year, which equates to a growth rate of 32%. These results were achieved following a series of operational expansions for flynas in the domestic air transport market.
Commenting on this achievement, Wael Al-Sarhan, Director of Marketing and Communications at flynas said; "Our domestic destinations have been growing due to the increasing demand by our customers and to cope with this, we have increased our flights to fulfill our role as the national carrier providing reliable air transport services to citizens and residents in the various regions of the Kingdom."
Al Sarhan added, "We would like to take this opportunity to extend our appreciation to the management of King Khaled International Airport for their unwavering support to flynas, which has contributed greatly in our achievements to date."
From their end, King Khaled International Airport management explained that domestic air transport at the airport is experiencing strong and sustainable growth. KKIA continues to work closely with the national carriers to meet the growing need for domestic flights, with flynas at the heart of this process, working collaboratively to make these results possible.
Operating from King Khaled International Airport as its hub, flynas currently covers six domestic destinations and is preparing to add three new destinations as part of its strategy to transport 20 million passengers a year by 2020.

When it comes to automotive research facilities there's nothing like Nethercutt.
In April, 1921, a 16-year-old Wellington Everett Miller went to work as a draftsman assistant at the Pasadena-based Walter M. Murphy Company, remembered today for their magnificent creations on the Duesenberg chassis. Later hired as a body designer by the Packard Motor Co. and, in 1935, the chief designer for the Advance Auto Body Works, W.E. Miller's would span over 70 years in the automotive industry. He was the chief engineer of Crown Body and Coach Corp before the beginning of WWII and, during the conflict, worked in the preliminary design department of the Lockheed Aircraft Co.
A mathematician and a creative designer whose most famous creation was the Arrowhead 3-wheeled prototype, W.E. Miller might also be considered something of a packrat—good news for any enthusiast of historic automotive history.
Upon his April 6, 1983 death, resulting from complications from a massive stroke suffered one month earlier, W.E. Miller's 70 years in the business of producing some of the world's most luxurious and innovative cars resulted in an extensive portfolio and automobile reference library.
Acquired by the Nethercutt Museum in Sylmar, California, W.E. Miller's collection is the backbone of a the Nethercutt Automotive Library and Archive now considered one of the top 10 automotive libraries in the world.
Materials housed in the library include a database on The Nethercutt Collection—home to more than 130 of the world's greatest antique, vintage, classic, and special interest automobiles including many top winners of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance—contain technical manuals, promotional material and sales literature from throughout the automotive age, along with biographies of great motoring engineers. Complete runs of automotive trade journals abound, along with rare owner's manuals, plans and engineering documents of automobile coachbuilders dating from 1900 to 1940.

Improving School Readiness: A Brief Report from the Palm Beach County Family Study
Spielberger, Julie; Gouvea, Marcia; Rich, Lauren
Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago
For more than a decade, Florida's Palm Beach County has been building a system of prevention and early intervention services to promote and support the healthy development and school readiness of children from birth to age 8. The county began this effort with a set of programs focused on serving families in four targeted geographic areas that have high levels of risk for poverty, teen pregnancy, crime, and child maltreatment. The Children's Services Council of Palm Beach County commissioned Chapin Hall to conduct a longitudinal mixed-methods evaluation of how families use and are affected by this system of services. This paper presents selected findings from the study about the factors that most affected children's development and school readiness, which include good birth outcomes, positive parenting practices, and access to high quality early childhood programs, and concludes with recommendations for improving the service system to support children's readiness for school. (Contains 1 table, 2 figures, 1 box and 2 footnotes.)

Reviewed and recommended: Bioelements Power Peptide
Since then I've been trying out a slew of other products in their range that has turned me into a real fan. While they're not for purists (you'll find a few parabens and preservatives thrown about), they do feature some wonderful combinations of the best active ingredients out there. As such, I've been recommending the line to anyone who's interested. I especially like the Bioelements Power Peptide ($36) because it is a spray, and so easy to put on.
Like the Moisture x1000, I'm recommending the power peptide spray but am attaching a few caveats. Let me just get them out of the way: Clove leaf oil is a possible allergen to some sensitive folks, as is the preservative iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, at least according to one Danish study. Diazolidinyl urea (a preservative) and guaiaeood extract (used for fragrance) can both be irritants, although I have had absolutely no irritation at all, and I do have somewhat sensitive skin. The only other ingredient worth pointing out is disodium EDTA, which is used for product stability. Some animal studies have shown it to be toxic at higher doses than normally found in cosmetics and I personally believe it to be innocuous.
Now, on to the good things. The secret to to the spray is a surprisingly high concentration (they're right there at the top of the list) of two key ingredients: palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 and ergothione.
Palmitoyl pentapeptide-3, aka matrixyl, is the peptide from which it gets its name and makes for a nice long-term aging solution in that it specifically and effectively stimulates collagen synthesis and skin repair. Over time, it makes your skin firmer and prevents sagging. And just an f.y.i., matrixyl is not the same as matrixyl 3000.
Ergothioneine, the other star, is one of the few antioxidants (along with vitamins, A, C and E) with any strong evidence behind it to suggest that it works—with some research even suggesting that it may be even better than the famed idebenone. Naturally found in mushrooms, ergothioneine is an antioxidant amino acid that occurs naturally in the body and is found in high concentrations around cells that are subjected to free radical damage.
Other prominent ingredients are licorice root extract, an anti-inflammatory with powerful skin lightening properties, and white tea extract, another anti-inflammatory with additional antibacterial benefits.
This spray also boasts a strong supporting cast. Most interesting to me is the inclusion of ilex paraguariensis leaf extract. Better known as Yerba Maté of the tea-drinking fame, this ingredient has been showing up in a bunch of new product launches thanks to its robust antioxidant properties. Research shows that it trumps both green tea and red wine in this category, and has demonstrable anti-cancer effects.
Besides the few undesirables listed at the very end, the rest of the ingredient list reads like a walk through an herb garden: brazilian peppertree (anti-fungal), bergamot (anti-septic), cardamom (antioxidant), cassie (astringent, skin-protectant), camomile (soothing), elemi (anti-inflammatory), sunflower seed oil (moisturizing)...
Water (aqua) (eau), Glycerine, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-3, Ergothioneine, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (licorice) Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis (white tea) Leaf Extract, Schinus Molle (Brazilian peppertree) Extract, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (bergamot) Fruit Oil, Ellettaria Cardomomum (cardamom) Seed Oil, Acacia Farnesiana (cassie) Extract, Anthemis Nobilis (chamomile) Extract, Eugenia Caryophyllus (clove) Leaf Oil, Canarium Luzonicum (elemi) Gum Nonvolatiles, Guaiacum Offi cinale (guaiacwood) Wood Extract, Llex Paraguariensis Leaf Extract, Cymbopogon Martini (palmarosa) Oil, Helianthus Annuus (sunfl ower) Seed Oil, Phenethyl Alcohol, Oleth-10, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Disodium EDTA, Tromethamine
Dawn, they did eventually update their website to reflect the changed formula. The new formula contains a relative of Argireline, a nerve-inhibiting/relaxing peptide, in the spot where Matrixyl, a skin firming peptide, used to be. So it all depends on which effect you are after, as these are almost polar opposites. Though I gather that Argireline is extremely weak in its effect unless at very high concentrations, so chances are that this product now just functions as a nutritious toner, brightener and humectant, with negligible skin relaxing effects. So still mostly positive, just without the skin firming peptide.
I just read in comments on one of the skin stores that this wonderful tonic just changed their ingredients from great to not good. They said website still shows same ingredients but when bottle comes in you will find it has changed. I would like to know the truth as i have a bottled ordered and on the way and do not know whether to keep or return.
This would be used sort of like a value-added extra to your normal skin care routine. I was using it after cleansing and before my moisturizer if that helps!
Just wondered what the product was designed for use as? A general body moisturizer? I do like the idea of a spray for a daily body moisturizer. Recently, i found this odd little product called Na-PCA in spray form. It's nothing fancy, but it is really easy to use and moisturizes really well. The only problem is the scent -- it makes me smell like my grandmother!

CAMBRIDGE – South Korea has an historic opportunity when it chairs the G-20 meeting in Seoul on November 11-12, for this will be the first time that a non-G-7 country has hosted the G-20 since the larger body supplanted the G-7 as the steering committee of the world economy. But there is a danger that the G-20 will now prove too unwieldy.
South Korea justifiably views its role as host as another opportunity to mark its arrival on the world stage. But it should make more of its opportunity than this, and instead exercise substantive leadership. Otherwise, its turn at the G-20's helm risks resembling the chaotic Czech presidency of the European Union in 2009, which confirmed some larger EU members' belief that it is a mistake to let smaller countries do the driving.
The challenge for South Korea stems from the inevitable tradeoff between legitimacy and workability. The G-7 was small enough to be workable, but too small to claim legitimacy. The United Nations is big enough to claim legitimacy, but too big to be workable.
The G-20 has enough legitimacy for its purpose – which is more limited than the purposes of formal institutions such as the UN, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization – by virtue of the fact that it accounts for 85% of the world's GDP, for example.
But it is too big to be workable as a steering group. A principle of multilateral talk-shops is that conversation is not possible with more than 10 delegations in the room. With 20 delegations, each reads prepared statements; there is no give-and-take, and the communiqué is a watered down least-common-denominator press release.
The G-20 needs a smaller informal steering group, a G-6 or G-9, which could meet on the eve of the main G-20 meeting and discuss how to organize the discussion in the larger group.
It would be unwise to be too specific at this point about who should be in the smaller group. Nevertheless, the United States, Japan, and Europe (represented perhaps by the EU Commission), must be there on the rich-country side; China, India, and Brazil must be there on the developing-country side. Of course the pressure to expand is always irresistible.
Europe could be represented by both the United Kingdom and the eurozone. In Seoul, South Korea must be there as the host. The ninth country could be any of the rest.
The G-20 will discuss whatever the bigger countries consider it most useful to discuss. Five possible topics include:
• More seats on the IMF executive board for emerging market countries, made possible by consolidation of some European seats;
• More financial regulatory reform, such as coordination of any taxes or penalties that members want to apply to risk-taking banks;
• An attempt to address global current-account imbalances and ¨currency wars." There could be a statement agreeing that excessive imbalances are a problem, that exchange rates and budget deficits both bear some responsibility, and that neither should bear the burden of adjustment alone;
• Macroeconomic exit strategies. I would favor articulation of the principle that the necessary concrete steps toward long-term fiscal consolidation in advanced countries – such as raising the retirement age or taking other steps today to reform public pensions – need not require premature withdrawal of current fiscal stimulus;
• Re-launching discussion of a new agreement on climate change to replace the Kyoto Protocol after 2012. South Korea is in a good position to lead as the first post-Kyoto country to accept emission targets.
Don't judge the outcome of the Seoul G-20 meeting by what appears in the media. Press reviews usually pronounce any summit meeting a let-down. But occasionally such meetings are important, in ways that are often not clear until later.
Consider the London G-20 meeting in 2009. It was not obvious at the time that it had been a success in terms of substantive policies. Observers even compared it to the infamous failed London Economic Summit of 1933, which was a way of saying that the world had not learned the lessons of the Great Depression.
But the 2009 meeting appears far better in hindsight. Fiscal stimulus turned out to be more widespread in 2009 than one might have guessed. Similarly, global monetary policy was easy, avoiding another big mistake of the 1930's. And the G-20 unexpectedly agreed to triple the IMF's resources and bring its reserve currency, special drawing rights (SDRs), back from the dead.
Even in the area of trade policy, despite fears of protectionism, the outcome was not bad by the standards of past recessions, let alone compared to America's infamous Smoot-Hawley tariffs, enacted in 1930. Overall, the immediate response of policymakers to the global recession in 2009 did not repeat the mistakes of the early 1930's.
Currently, however, the advanced countries are in danger of repeating the mistake that US President Franklin Roosevelt made in 1937, when he cut spending prematurely and sent the American economy back into recession.
Perhaps the G-20 will be a venue in which the big emerging-market countries remind the US and the UK of the lesson they once knew but have now forgotten – what it means to run a countercyclical fiscal policy.

Shooter receives 20-year term
Troy basketball player tells of ordeal as his attacker is sentenced
A judge on Thursday sentenced a gunman to 20 years in prison after the mother of his victim said she felt sorry for the man who put three bullets in her son's leg.
In January, a jury convicted Shateek Lanier, 23, of Troy of attempted second-degree murder, assault and weapons counts for shooting Jerrell Reid, a Troy High School basketball standout, on a city street last year.
Reid, a 6-foot-7 senior and starting forward for the Flying Horses, was shot three times in his right leg.
In a statement written by Reid that was read in court, he said, "Forgiveness has nothing to do with absolving a criminal of his crime. It has everything to do with relieving oneself of the burden of being a victim — letting go of the pain and transforming oneself from victim to survivor."
"I feel sorry for Shateek in some ways," Reid's mother, Christina Lewis, said.
Reid testified at the trial that two men approached him on May 29 on 10th Street.
The teen said he believed the shooter thought he was someone else.
"I saw one of them pull out a gun, so I started running," said Reid, a member of the team that captured last year's Big 10 title. "The one guy just started shooting. I ran pretty far. I was just trying to get away. Even though my leg was going numb, I kept going as a fast as I could."
Reid, who has recuperated and was a high scorer for the team this season, could not identify Lanier as his attacker during the trial.
Assistant District Attorney Michael Shanley put two eyewitnesses on the stand who said Lanier was the shooter.
Lanier also was sentenced to five years post-release supervision by Rensselaer County Judge Andrew Ceresia.

The doctor will ask about your baby's symptoms and do an examination. He may ask about a family history of UTIs because the tendency to get them can be genetically inherited.
If your baby's doctor suspects a UTI, he'll need to collect a urine sample and check it for infection and inflammation with a urinalysis and urine culture. It's important for the doctor to verify that your baby has an infection and determine which bacteria are causing it so he can prescribe the correct antibiotic.
The challenge is that the doctor needs to collect a "sterile" urine sample, or one that hasn't been contaminated by the bacteria that are always present on your baby's skin. This is hard to do with a baby or young child who can't urinate on command or follow special instructions.
Most likely, the doctor will use a catheter to obtain a sample. He'll clean your baby's genitals with a sterile solution and then thread a tube, or catheter, up the urethra to get urine straight from the bladder. Your baby may cry during this procedure, but it's safe and routine and – while it can be uncomfortable – usually takes less than a minute.
Another option, not used as often, is to collect urine directly from the bladder by inserting a needle into the lower abdomen.
The doctor may be able to get preliminary results by using a urine dipstick or by examining the urine under a microscope in the office. If he sees evidence of infection from these initial results, he may start treatment right away. If he sends the sample to a lab for testing, it may take a day or two to get the results.
The doctor may recommend other tests, as well, because UTIs can be a sign that there's something wrong with your baby's urinary tract. Problems that cause UTIs include blockages and a condition called vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), in which urine from the bladder backs up into the kidneys. VUR is found in 30 to 40 percent of babies and young children who have UTIs.
The tests that your baby's doctor may recommend include:

Opportunity Calls
From remarks by University Trustee Ben Horowitz '88CC at Low Library on March 4. Horowitz is the author of The Hard Thing about Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers (HarperBusiness).
Because I'm a venture capitalist, people often ask me why big companies have trouble innovating while individuals and small companies don't. The answer is pretty simple. Innovation always starts out looking like a bad idea. Big companies have plenty of great ideas, but they don't innovate because they need a whole hierarchy of people to agree that a new idea is good in order to pursue it. If one person figures out something that's wrong with an idea — often to show off or to consolidate power — that's usually enough to kill it. My favorite example of this is the telephone. Western Union actually had the opportunity to buy the telephone from Alexander Graham Bell — patents and everything — for $100,000. They passed. Their internal committee declined. Why would they want to invest in something that transmitted a weak, indistinct speaking voice? They'd already perfected the clearest, most technologically advanced form of communication: the telegraph.

1993 Ford Mustang LX 5.0
The last year of a truly classic car that set the standard for affordability and performance
There hasn't been much wrong with this car. Other than replacing a set of tires and regular maintenance this has been a true dream car.
At 2850 pounds this car is amazingly fast. Nothing like the distinctive sound of it's dual exhaust to make heads turn.
General Comments:
The interior on this car is somewhat confined but this car was never meant to carry a family of five.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 5th March, 2001

Hindus should lodge complaint against such police with their seniors and send their names to office of 'Dainik Sanatan Prabhat' !
Faridabad (Haryana) : Pro- Hindu organisations like Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Arya Samaj, Sanatan Dharma Mandir Sabha, Sree Ramkrushna Mandir, Manav Seva Samiti, Sanskrut Seva Manch, Vaishya Samaj, Sree Gopal Gaushala, Vaishwa Vikas Manch and Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) came together and tried to lodge a complaint against Dr. Zakir Naik for insulting Shri Ganesh; but police refused to take down the complaint of these pro-Hindu organisations. (Police from Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka etc. have taken down complaints and even filed cases at some places. Police from all over the country are maintaining law and order as per the Indian Penal Code (IPC); but few police officers do what they want and throw complaints lodged by Hindus in dust-bins. This is an insult of Hindus as also of IPC ! – Editor SP) Mr. Suresh Munjal of HJS and Mr. B. R. Singla of RSS had gone to Faridabad police station to lodge a complaint. The pro-Hindu organisations decided to meet high-level police officers as they were refrained from lodging complaint.

But I had heard a tremendous raving from a friend about The Mysterious Benedict Society. I promised I would check it out from the library.
Lo and behold, hardly an hour later, my sister calls me up.
"Hey, I found a book on Amazon with tremendous ratings. Everybody loves it! I thought maybe Sam would like it. It's called The Mysterious Benedict So--"
She wound up getting it since I told her someone else had loved it.
So I noticed Sam reading it about a week back. I got a tad curious yesterday, finally, and started reading it. You know, just finding out why Sam HADN'T PUT IT DOWN.
He would still be reading it this very minute, quoting from it for me.
If he could get back from me.
"Okay, I get it. You love this book. Isn't there anything in this post that's REALLY about the book?"
I can hear you, oh yes. In fact, I am getting a little impatient myself, so here is the synopsis from the book.
"ARE YOU A GIFTED CHILD LOOKING FOR SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES?"When this peculiar ad appears in the newspaper, dozens of children enroll to take a series of mysterious, mind-bending tests. (And you, dear reader, can test your wits right alongside them.) But in the end just four very special children will succeed. Their challenge: to go on a secret mission that only the most intelligent and resourceful children could complete. With their newfound friendship at stake, will they be able to pass the most important test of all?
How does all that sound? For some reason, it makes me think of Emma...ya know, just a little thinking involved in the book, is why.
I wish I could write out the first chapter to you right now. But I don't think I should. I think you should get it from the library yourself.

June 13, 2011 (BLOOMINGTON, Ind.) --Police got dozens of new tips after a national TV show featured the case of missing Indiana University student Lauren Spierer.
The 20-year-old was last seen on June 3. She was walking home alone from a friend's apartment early that morning, a few hours after she left a popular Bloomington bar.
The TV show "America's Most Wanted" aired an episode on Spierer's case over the weekend. The broadcast generated 30 to 40 tips, but so far there have been no major breakthroughs, police say.
Spierer is from Greenburg, N.Y. Several rewards are being offered in the case. Her family says she has a heart condition.

Director: Tom Hall
Starring: Domhnall Gleeson, Luanne Gordon and Patrick Ryan
Release Date: Out Now
A big problem with Irish cinema is that when it's not just trying to be a Guy Ritchie-esque crime thriller it can be very hard to classify. Such is the case with Sensation. Billed as a black comedy, the film follows Donal (Domhnall Gleeson) – a bored, existential crisis-ridden young fellow – who comes into some money and decides to hire a prostitute. Before you know it he's comforting his new lady-friend after an encounter with a rough client, taking her home and helping her start up her own escort agency.
Generally when a film is labeled a black comedy, one would expect it to feature situations that wouldn't normally be funny yet somehow make light of them. This isn't really the case with Sensation. Instead what we get is a series of quite depressing scenes with some seemingly out of place moments of levity that mark desperate attempts to draw your attention away from just how dark the material is.
The portrayal of Donal's life in the generic Irish countryside is soul-crushing in its mundanity, but what is more terrifying is just how real it feels. The film is otherwise played pretty much as a straight drama, with only the odd humorous moment or cheesy one-liner to distinguish it as comedy. While in essence this is an Irish take on the 'hooker with a heart of gold' trope, it has significantly sharper claws than its Hollywood counterparts.
It is hard to recommend this film. As a comedy it fails; the jokes are too few and far between and their quality varies wildly, and yet as a drama it doesn't really work either. The latter portion builds toward what should be an interesting climax but instead it just continues on to a sudden, melodramatic end that is completely at odds with the overall tone of the film. There is also a noticeable lack of subtext; Sensation isn't really 'about' anything, except perhaps the fact that below our veiled social niceties, everyone is just a horrible person. This is likely the point of the redemptive final scene, but there is no believable build-up to it. It simply happens and feels like a last minute conclusion that was thrown in merely in order to close a poor narrative.
In a Nutshell: An interesting home-grown film let down by a glaring identity-crisis.

When Halloween rolls around each year there will be some of us who choose to ignore the trick or treat visitors at our front doors, that's easy enough. But Halloween parties are a little harder to ignore, especially if your friends or work colleagues are attending. So if you have been invited to a Halloween party but are yet to scramble to pick up an outfit somewhere, then these cheap, easily accessible costume ideas should be ideal.
There's no reason to join "that group" of party goers who show up in normal clothes only to receive slanderous comments from everyone else who made an effort. Embrace the fun, save yourself time and money by choosing one of these lazy costume ideas, that you can literally pick up on your way home from work before going out.
Death (Comic: Sandman) – Female Costume
Ideal for girls with brunette hair, you can get away with quite a convincing Death character from the Sandman comic with little effort at all. Simply dress yourself in a black singlet dress, some dark lipstick (ideally black) and to finish it off, cut yourself an ankh out of some cardboard and attach it to your necklace. Don't like the idea of cutting out, pick up some cheap plastic fangs and tell everybody you're Marceline from Adventure Time.
Try checking out Priceline, they have a dark chocolate lipstick available for $4.99.
Son of Man (Artist: Rene Magritte) – Male Costume
If you had plans of going out straight after work, preferably in your suit, why not add some class to the party and dress up as Rene Magritte's 1964 painting, Son of Man. There are only three elements to this costume, a suit, an apple and a bowler hat. Pick up a relatively small apple, attach it to a piece of string and attach that string to your bowler hat, (Staples will work) and costume complete.
If you don't have an apple or a bowler hat, pick up a single Pink Lady apple at Woolworths for $0.52c. A cheap hat option can be bought at Costumebox.com.au, such as their very reasonable black plastic top hat for $3.99.
Droog (Movie: A Clockwork Orange) - Unisex
This one may be a little more main stream, but again only consists of 3 elements. Get your hands on bowler hat, some belt suspenders and fake eyelashes (or use a pen) and you have all the right components to pass yourself off as Droog.
Costumebox.com.au have a satin black bowler hat for $25.99, but their black plastic hat will do just the same job for $3.99, as mentioned in the above costume. If you don't own any fake eyelashes, pick up some cheap glam eyelashes, which are 20% off at Priceline.com.au for $3.19, or simply draw them on with a pen as shown in the picture.
Sports Person - Unisex
Maybe you play sport regularly and have your sports attire to hand, simply whack it on, grab your equipment if its applicable such as your racket, bat etc, costume complete.
404 Error Message - Unisex
Bound to resonate well with most people, this costume is so simple. Grab an old plain white t-shirt and simply write "404 Costume not Found" with a felt tip pen.
MIB / CIA (Movie: Men in Black) - Unisex
Another simple costume that will help you play the part, with no financial outlay what so ever. Simply put on your black suit, (dark suit also works) and a pair of sunglasses. You now have everything you need to look like Will Smith or Tommy Lee Jones in the movie Men in Black.

Diesel Futures Rally to Four-Month High
U.S. Oil Prices Fall Amid Worries About Growth in Emerging Markets
NEW YORK--Diesel futures climbed to a more than four-month high Friday as bitter cold temperatures and low domestic inventories stoked demand for the fuel.
Meanwhile, U.S. oil prices pulled back from a near one-month high as traders worried that slow economic growth in emerging markets could weigh on crude consumption.
February heating oil...
