Louisiana, Ohio CUs Latest to Join CU Lunch Local Cash Mob
Cash mob fever is spreading from Michigan to Louisiana and Ohio.
Michigan credit unions will participate in their second annual CU Lunch Local, a one-day cash mob to support and patronize local businesses.
Louisiana and Ohio credit unions are the latest to join in the effort, which will take place Oct. 15.
The Louisiana Credit Union League's Member Business Services Council heard about CU Lunch Local last year and knew this was something they wanted to be involved in, said Jennifer Green, vice president of the league.
"Credit unions are the epitome of locally owned and operated," Green said. "CU Lunch Local is a win-win for credit unions and local businesses. Local businesses will get a boost through increased patronage, and hopefully credit unions will pick up some business, too."
Green said one of the goals of the MBSC is to help credit unions provide business services to their members and CU Lunch Local "provides a fantastic opportunity for our credit unions to show local business owners that we are there to support them."
"Although credit unions are recognized by many as strong supporters of their communities, we've learned that oftentimes, businesses don't know about the services credit unions provide, particularly on the commercial side, so we're encouraging credit unions that offer business services to provide information to the local business owners when they 'lunch local,'" Green said.
The Ohio Credit Union League is coordinating local food trucks to partner with credit unions throughout the state, said Kimberly Stewart, consumer outreach coordinator at the league. Each food truck will be asked to donate 10% of its profits to Marching Miles for Miracle Kids, benefiting the nine children's hospitals serving Ohioans, and participating credit unions will match the funds raised.
So far, there are eight participating food trucks, each of which is matched up with a credit union in their area, Stewart added.
"Working together, we can promote local food trucks, generate awareness for credit unions, and support the services of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals," Stewart said.
CU Lunch Local began in 2012 as a one-day small business cash mob driven by Michigan credit unions.
In the fledgling event, hundreds of local businesses received support and if this success is matched, Michigan could see thousands of small businesses reached this year, said Bill Beardsley, CEO of the commercial lending CUSO Michigan Business Connection LLC in Ann Arbor, which has spearheaded the event.
"Encouraging consumers to choose businesses local to them is not only a boost to that community's economy, but a benefit to our entire nation," Beardsley said. "Providing entrepreneurs with capital to grow their business is an important first step, encouraging our credit union staff and membership to patronize local businesses leads to long term success."
CU Lunch Local coincides with International Credit Union Week, an annual celebration of financial cooperatives and their members around the globe.
Credit unions interested in participating with the CU Lunch Local can find more information on the event's Facebook page.

Do Older Adults Know Their Spouses' End-of-Life Treatment Preferences? (ICPSR 25701)
Principal Investigator(s): Moorman, Sara M., University of Wisconsin-Madison; Hauser, Robert M., University of Wisconsin-Madison; Carr, Deborah S., Rutgers University
When terminally ill patients become mentally incapacitated, their surrogates often make treatment decisions in collaboration with health care providers. The authors examined how surrogates' errors in reporting their spouses' preferences are affected by their gender, status as durable power of attorney for health care (DPAHC), whether they and their spouses discussed end-of-life preferences, and their spouses' health status. Structural equation models were applied to data from married couples in their mid-60s from the 2004 wave of the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study. Surrogates reported their spouses' preferences incorrectly 13 percent and 26 percent of the time in end-of-life scenarios involving cognitive impairment and physical pain, respectively. Surrogates projected their own preferences onto their spouses'. Similar patterns emerged regardless of surrogate gender and status as DPAHC, marital discussions about end-of-life preferences, or spousal health status. Implications for the process of surrogate decision-making and for future research are discussed.

Motors CEO Elon Musk has nearly succeeded in bringing his company
public, despite personal
financial issues that have prevented him from pouring more
venture capital into the firm. The initial public offering
was announced
in late January, but is on the verge of completion -- possibly
coming as soon as next week.This will be the first major IPO
of an American automaker since Ford Motor Co. went public in 1956.
It comes at a time when Tesla is phasing out the first generation of
its high-end luxury roadster, and preparing to sell an entry-luxury
sedan, the
Model S. Tesla also recently received $50M
USD from Toyota to help it develop electric vehicles.One
of the biggest dangers of an IPO is underpricing. Many IPOs
have been underpriced over the last several decades, leading to
companies missing out on a large amount of vital revenue. To
help prevent that Tesla is holding its Road Show, going before heads
of top Wall Street investment institutions to try to convince them
how much the company is really worth.In a slide #19 of an

are a van and SUV/crossover. Both have a lot of curves and look
kind of bulbous. Whether you love or hate the designs, you have

George Perkins Marsh Online Research Center
Collection Overview
The George Perkins Marsh Research Center provides access to transcriptions and images of selected letters in Marsh's correspondence. With a generous grant from the Woodstock Foundation we have transcribed over 650 letters from the University manuscript collection and from Marsh's letters located at other institutions.
Major topics in the correspondence selected for electronic publication are:
The American Civil War. The letters present the war from two perspectives: as it was experienced by those in Europe and by those in New England, particularly in Vermont. Marsh, an ardent Unionist, wrote from Italy, where there were many active Confederate sympathizers in the American expatriate community and among English residents. The view from Vermont is represented by Albert G. Peirce, a Burlington grocer, who sent Marsh detailed accounts of the war as it affected the city. Other Vermonters and Charles Eliot Norton, the Harvard luminary and an active abolitionist, also wrote of their hopes and opinions as the war progressed.
Vermont geography. Creating an accurate geographical description of the complex Vermont landscape remained a problem throughout the nineteenth century. Marsh and his brother Charles, a Woodstock, Vermont, farmer, made several attempts to measure the elevation of Vermont mountains, and Marsh kept in contact with leading geographers of the day to find more accurate instruments to measure temperature and ascertain the exact landmass of the state.
Nineteenth century sculpture. Marsh's friendship with Hiram Powers, begun when both were children on neighboring Woodstock farms, led to a correspondence in which Powers not only described the trials and tribulations of a working sculptor, but discussed his ideas about classical and contemporary works in some detail. Powers's aesthetics are most clearly expressed in his letters to Caroline Crane Marsh regarding the bust he made of her, now in the Fleming Museum at the University of Vermont. In addition, Marsh corresponded with Larkin G. Mead, then a young sculptor from Barre, who designed the statue of "Agriculture" atop the State House, and with John Norton Pomeroy of Burlington about the statue of Ethan Allen, carved in Italy under Marsh's supervision, that now stands above Allen's grave in Burlington's Green Mount Cemetery.
Nineteenth century public architecture. The rebuilding of the Vermont State House in 1857 provides a detailed picture of how American connoisseurs and architects designed public buildings. The collection contains over ninety letters by Thomas W. Silloway, the architect, to Marsh, one of the building commissioners, discussing appropriate forms for each element, as well as the politics involved in construction. These are enhanced by letters from the building superintendent, Thomas E. Powers of Woodstock, from another commissioner, Norman Williams of Woodstock, and from state legislators and private citizens caught up in what was a highly controversial undertaking.
Creation of the Smithsonian Institution. The evolution of the museum and its support for scientific expeditions and collection development are documented in the correspondence between Marsh and Spencer Fullerton Baird which began in 1847 and ended with Marsh's death in 1882. Marsh was instrumental in securing a post at the Smithsonian for Baird, who eventually became its second director and founded the Oceanographic Institute at Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The two men also worked together to increase the Smithsonian's collections and facilitate the exchange of scientific information with Italy.
In addition the letters provide information on nineteenth century domestic life, the politics surrounding Vermont's railroads, local and national social and political developments, the tangled relationships between the European powers, and other subjects of interest to educated and engaged individuals of the time.
The Center also includes the full text of contemporary publications that are related to the major topics of the letters.
Biography: When Man and Nature was published in 1864 it was immediately hailed as a major contribution to the field of physical geography. Now a classic of environmental literature, its author, George Perkins Marsh, was one of the first to recognize and described in detail the significance of human action in transforming the natural world.
Lawyer, diplomat, and scholar, Marsh, was born on March 15, 1801 at Woodstock, Vermont. In 1820 he graduated with highest honors from Dartmouth. He immediately tried teaching, but finding it distasteful, studied law with his father, Charles Marsh. Admitted to the bar in 1825, he practiced in Burlington, Vermont, where he became prominent in his profession. On April 10, 1828, he married Harriet Buell of Burlington. They had two sons; the eldest died a few days before his mother in 1833. Marsh immersed himself in the study of Icelandic and other Scandinavian languages, beginning a life long career as a philologist and linguist. Six years after his first wife's death, he married Caroline Crane of Berkley, Massachusetts. Already well known as a lawyer, business man and scholar, in 1835 he was elected to the Governor's Council. In 1843 he ran for Congress as a Whig, and during three successive terms proved himself a cogent speaker in support of a high tariff and in opposition to slavery and the Mexican War. He served on the committee that established and guided the future of the Smithsonian Institution.
In 1849 President Taylor appointed Marsh U.S. Minister to Turkey. He aided refugees from central European revolutions of 1848, and in the summer of 1852 he was sent to Athens on a special mission. He collected specimens for the Smithsonian during an intensive tour of Egypt and Palestine.
Recalled by a new administration in 1854, Marsh labored to mend his bankrupt fortunes, to act as Vermont railroad commissioner, fish commissioner, and to lead a commission formed to rebuild the Vermont State House. He lectured throughout the northeast and mid-West and taught courses on the English language at Columbia College and the Lowell Institute. Having joined and campaigned for the Republican party in 1856, he was sent by President Lincoln as the first United States minister to the new kingdom of Italy in 1861, a post he held for the remaining twenty-one years of his life. He won admirers in the Italian government and a greater reputation as a scholar by his mastery of Italian affairs and his writings on language and environmental matters. He died on July 23, 1882 at Vallombrosa, near Florence, and was buried in the Protestant cemetery in Rome.

Technical Information The text files were created using WordPerfect 7.0 as an SGML editor and the DTD for historical documents developed by Dr. David R. Chesnutt of the University of South Carolina and the Model Editions Partnership (MEP). The SGML publication used DynaText, a software package developed by EBT Corporation of Providence Rhode Island and granted to the University of Vermont under their educational grant program. WordPerfect 9.0 was used as the final editor and parser.The actual coding depended largely on programs James P. Tranowski wrote to process the letters. Ellen Mazur Thomson did the bulk of it, although Cheryl Morrison and several graduate students connected with the MEP project at the University of South Carolina also worked on the letters. William Hicks of Tyrone, Pennsylvania, provided additional coding of the Correspondence Lists. Aaron Shamp coded the footnotes, entered copy editing corrections, parsed and cleaned all the SGML files and entities.Paul Philbin and Marcie A. Crocker, at the Bailey/Howe Library and Hope A. Greenberg, at the Academic Computing Service served as technical advisers for the hardware and software.Original web publication came through DynaWeb, also an EBT grant program.
On November 26, 2008 The George Perkin Marsh Online Research Center was migrated from its original location http://bailey2.uvm.edu/specialcollections/gpmorc.html to its new home at the CDI. Documents were migrated from SGML to XML using openSP and XSL.
Contributors David A. Donath, the Advisory Board of Directors, and the Board of Trustees of the Woodstock Foundation provided the financial support that made this project possible. Bruce Kirby, archivist at the Smithsonian Institution Archives, and archivists at t h e Houghton Library, Harvard University, the New York Historical Society, and the Archives of American Art provided copies of Marsh correspondence in their collections for us to transcribe and publish. The Vermont Historical Society allowed us to reproduce photographs in their collection.Connell Gallagher, head of the Special Collections Department, and Dr. Elizabeth H. Dow, created the project; Dr. Dow acted as Project Director. Ellen Mazur Thomson was Project Manager.Faculty and staff members of the Special Collections Department gave us specialized and expert reference: David Blow, Ingrid Bower, Sylvia Bugbee, Karen Campbell, Sylvia Knight and Jeffrey Marshall.Dr. Robert H. Rogers of the Classics Department, transcribed and annotated many of the Greek and Latin phrases used in the letters. Dr. Ralph H. Orth translated German materials, Ellen Mazur Thomson translated those in French.Dr. Ralph H. Orth, Professor Emeritus of the University of Vermont, created the transcription protocols for the letters. He transcribed most of the Powers and Norton letters and provided notes for their correspondence with Marsh. John Thomas transcri b ed Marsh's letters to Baird and Jacob Colie transcribed the Peirce letters. Eileen N. Brown contributed notes.Ellen Mazur Thomson selected the letters, designed the [original] web pages and wrote the introductory text.

George Perkins Marsh Collection
The initial collection of George Perkins Marsh Papers came to the University of Vermont through donations made by Caroline Crane Marsh in the late 1880's and has had material material added from many sources since. It now consists of eighteen cartons, with material dating from 1812 to 1929.
The largest part of the collection, Marsh's own papers, have been arranged in the following order: correspondence; diaries, notebooks; printed material; and notes, lists, and miscellaneous manuscripts and memorabilia. The correspondence consists primarily of incoming letters, with some copies of outgoing correspondence. Prominent persons represented in this section include: Spencer Baird; George Bancroft; Frederick Billings; Rufus Choate; Henry Clay; Giuseppe Garibaldi; Ulysses S. Grant; Asa Gray; Arnold Guyot; Joseph Henry; Andrew Johnson; Charles C. Jewett; Justin S. Morrill; Carl Christian Rafn; and Frederick Wislizenus. Diaries date from the period 1864-82, while the notebooks range over such topics as English and foreign languages, scrapbooks, visiting lists and address books and natural history.
The printed items are largely copies of Marsh's own writings, from The Camel (1856) to Man and Nature (1864). The last section consists of loose notes taken by Marsh for his writings, notecards and bibliographical lists of books in the Marsh library that Frederick Billings purchased for the University of Vermont after Marsh's death, miscellaneous manuscripts and various memorabilia such as medals, diplomatic pouches and certificates of award.
The Caroline Crane Marsh section of the collection, a gift from David Lowenthal in 1958-59, has been arranged separately at the end of the Papers, in the following order: correspondence; printed material; manuscripts of Mrs. Marsh's poetry; translations and other writings (including the unpublished Volume Two of her Life and Letters of George Perkins Marsh; and diaries from the years 1851 to 1880. See also David Lowenthal's George Perkins Marsh for a list of other manuscript collections containing Marsh material.

The SEC's two top enforcement cops, Robert Khuzami and George Canellos, are coming out against a recent article penned by Columbia Law professor John Coffee titled "SEC enforcement: What has gone wrong?," that they say makes various claims about the agency's enforcement cases that are "inaccurate" and "distorted."
Khuzami, who plans to soon leave his post as enforcement director, and Canellos, deputy director of the enforcement division, wrote Monday in the National Law Journal that Coffee proposes that the SEC outsource its biggest cases to private contingency-fee lawyers—a suggestion that Khuzami and Canellos says "ignores critical differences between the SEC's goals as a regulator and those of a litigant seeking monetary damages."
First, the two SEC lawyers argue that Coffee has "his facts wrong" when he states that "the penalties collected by the commission…are declining" and "the median value of SEC settlements with corporate defendants" in 2011 and 2012 "are well below the median corporate settlements a decade ago." Far from declining, Khuzami and Canellos say, "the median value of SEC settlements is at or near record levels."
Coffee's suggestion to the contrary "seems to be based on a simple apples-to-oranges error in reading a chart," the two say. "He inaccurately states that the median settlement with a corporate defendant dropped from 'well over $50 million' in 2003 through 2005 to $1.5 million in fiscal year 2011 and $800,000 during the first half of FY 2012."
Coffee's source—a study of SEC settlement trends published by the NERA Economic Consulting group—actually reveals just the opposite, Khuzami and Canellos say. "It states that the median corporate settlement in the period from 2003 to 2005 ranged from a low of approximately $600,000 to a high of approximately $1.3 million. Therefore, the $1.5 million median value obtained in 2011 was not only greater than the median in the 2003-2005 time frame from which Coffee cites a decline, but also was close to an all-time high. And the 2012 figures were well within the range for recent years." Also, "given that the first three months of FY 2013 already have seen a $525 million penalty and two additional settlements well above $100 million each, the median may well continue to rise."
Coffee is also wrong to suggest that the SEC "rarely sues" individuals, "settling instead with the entity only," Khuzami and Canellos write. "The NERA study reveals that in the first half of FY 2012, the SEC was on pace to hold a larger number of individuals accountable than at any time since 2005, and the median value of settlements with individual defendants has been increasing steadily in recent years."
These "unusually strong results," the two say, "follow three consecutive fiscal years in which the SEC notched an enviable record in the courtroom, winning about 80% of its cases at trial."

With the raging success that is Guitar Hero, there's little doubt that the music rhythm genre on
the console space would be the next most-cloned game type until the Next Big
Thing. Granted, Guitar Hero itself is
basically a clone of Konami's Guitar
Freaks arcade game, and now it seems everything is going full circle – and we
can't call Rock Band a clone of Guitar Hero, as Harmonix was behind the
birth of both franchises.
The real impetus for this blog, however, is the reveal of the
different drum set hardware for each game series. The latest Game Informer magazine shows the
first image of the drum kit for the upcoming Guitar Hero 4 game, which will obviously feature drumming to keep
up with that other music game.
Now, I don't expect that every music game will follow
peripheral standards of having five colored buttons and a strum/beat method
(though I'm sure Xbox 360 owners loved the ability to use Guitar Hero guitars with Rock
Band, a feature PS3 owners couldn't enjoy). After all, having different hardware
will hopefully spawn more creativity... but really, I won't be able to put up
with having three different drum kits just to be able to fulfill some rock star
That's right, three
drum kits! In addition to the current kit for Rock Band, and the upcoming one for Guitar Hero 4, Konami is going to try reclaim some of the bemani
share it has lost with Rock
Revolution. The main focus of Rock
Revolution will be drums, though it won't be strictly a DrumMania entry as it will also allow
for guitar and bass.
So this is how things will soon look for video game drummers:
Rock Band drums with its four colored
pads and a pedal; Guitar Hero 4 with
its three colored pads, two raised cymbals and a pedal; and Rock Revolution with six pads and a pedal. In other words, a very, very cramped and cluttered gaming area.
At least one thing will be common between the drum kits for Rock Revolution and Guitar Hero: they both aim to be much quieter than Rock Band's kit.

Bryan Colangelo has made it very clear that Calderon is not the PG of the future. That of course has led to a lot of speculation of Jose's future in Toronto. There is the possibility he is traded this season and the Raptors head in to 2012-13 looking for a new PG or he is kept and the Raptors do not start this search until the summer of 2013 heading in to the 2013-14 season.
Before we continue, for the sake of this thread lets make one assumption clear that may or may not be true: the PG position must be filled through free agency..... in this thread, no trade or draft considerations please.
Would you prefer to trade Jose this year and go after a PG this off season in free agency? If you make this choice, here are your free agency options that could possibly be considered starters:
Deron Williams, New Jersey Nets $16.4 million Player Option ($17.8 million)
Steve Nash, Phoenix Suns $11.7 million Unrestricted
Aaron Brooks, Phoenix Suns $2.0 million Restricted ($3.0 million Qualifying Offer)
Raymond Felton, Portland Trail Blazers $7.6 million Unrestricted
Kirk Hinrich, Atlanta Hawks $8.0 million Unrestricted
Jason Kidd, Dallas Mavericks $8.6 million Unrestricted
Andre Miller, Denver Nuggets $7.8 million Unrestricted
Chauncey Billups, L.A. Clippers $2.0 million Unrestricted
D.J. Augustin, Charlotte Bobcats $3.2 million Restricted ($4.4 million Qualifying Offer)
Goran Dragic, Houston Rockets $2.1 million Unrestricted*
Jerryd Bayless, Toronto Raptors $3.0 million Restricted ($4.2 million Qualifying Offer)
Would you prefer to keep Jose for next season and go after a PG next summer in free agency? If you make this choice, here are your free agency options that could possibly be considered starters:
Many of the free agent PG's in 2013 are restricted. However, the Raptors will likely have enough cap space to offer up to 1 near max contract (Bargnani $11, Amir $6.5, Kleiza $4.6, ED $3.2, JV $3.6, 2012 pick ~$3.6, DD est. $8, JJ est. $4, 2013 draft pick $2M - generous estimates given to DD and JJ giving 9 players with a payroll of $46.5M leaving cap space of $11.5M as starting salary) and make an offer a team may have to think twice about or even let go unmatched.Quote:
Chris Paul, L.A. Clippers $17.8 million Unrestricted
Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors $4.0 million Restricted ($5.3 million Qualifying Offer)
Darren Collison, Indiana Pacers $2.3 million Restricted ($3.3 million Qualifying Offer)
Jrue Holiday, Philadelphia 76ers $2.7 million Restricted ($3.8 million Qualifying Offer)
Ty Lawson, Denver Nuggets $2.5 million Restricted ($3.6 million Qualifying Offer)
Brandon Jennings, Milwaukee Bucks $3.2 million Restricted ($4.3 million Qualifying Offer)
Devin Harris, Utah Jazz $8.5 million Unrestricted
Jose Calderon, Toronto Raptors $10.6 million Unrestricted
Jeff Teague, Atlanta Hawks $2.4 million Restricted ($3.5 million Qualifying Offer)
Roddy Beaubois, Dallas Mavericks $2.2 million Restricted ($3.3 million Qualifying Offer)
Jarrett Jack, New Orleans Hornets $5.4 million Unrestricted
Eric Maynor, Oklahoma City Thunder $2.3 million Restricted ($3.4 million Qualifying Offer)
Will Bynum, Detroit Pistons $3.3 million Unrestricted
Toney Douglas, New York Knicks $2.1 million Restricted ($3.1 million Qualifying Offer)
Daniel Gibson, Cleveland Cavaliers $4.8 million Unrestricted
C.J. Watson, Chicago Bulls $3.2 million Unrestricted
Shaun Livingston, Milwaukee Bucks $3.5 million Unrestricted
So, what do you think:
Lose Jose this year and sign a PG in the off season?
Keep Jose next year and sign a PG next off season?

While Foxconn's efforts are a huge part of this, The New York Times also noted that Apple must be more open with its most recent practices and results when it comes to cleaning up Foxconn's act. This would allow other companies that use Foxconn, like Nike, to do the same.

This weekends snowstorm was welcomed by ski resorts, but it likely was the last significant wet weather for at least 10 days, a National Weather Service meteorologist said.
By Saturday afternoon, the storm dumped about 11 inches of new snow on Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort. Wolf Creek received 21 inches of fresh powder from the storm, the resort reported.
Silverton Mountain received 8 inches of snow, giving it a mid-mountain base of 80 inches. Hesperus also received 8 inches and now has a 48-inch base. The area will begin its spring hours 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday.
The San Juan Mountains received as much as 10 to 20 inches, especially at higher elevations, NWS meteorologist Dennis Phillips said. The system, which is fairly typical of spring storms, was expected to clear the area and move to the east by Saturday night, he said.
This is the time of year they can do fairly well in bringing much-needed moisture, Phillips said.
Wolf Creek reported its summit base was at 95 inches by Saturday, with 85 inches at midway, according to a resort email. Purgatory reported its midway depth at 61 inches as of Saturday morning.
Overnight, the Colorado Department of Transportation imposed chain restrictions on mountain passes, but by midday Saturday, most of those restrictions had been lifted.
Phillips, based in the weather services Grand Junction office, said the system picked up some significant moisture in California before hitting the area. The thunderstorms associated with this weekends event also are indicative of wetter systems, he said.
Because of the relatively warm temperatures and high moisture content, not as much of the snow was sticking on the roads during the day, or was melting off fairly quickly in some areas, he said.
Despite the storm, were still lagging behind in snowpack Phillips said.
Despite cool temperatures today, the rest of the week is expected to warm up, with a high of about 60 in Durango by Thursday, he predicted.
Phillips also said the monthly and three-month outlooks call for above-normal temperatures, but its still too early to clearly predict an early fire season.
The start date and intensity of the fire season depends on several factors, including how quickly the snow melts, when the monsoon season actually starts and how much moisture it carries. The monsoon season usually starts in early July.
For most of the San Juan Mountains and Durango area, Phillips said, this has been a neutral season for moisture. But the rest of the Colorado River Basin to the southwest has suffered below-normal moisture, he said.
He said that there appears to be a slight chance of snow in some areas toward the end of next weekend, but because the ground is warming up, any snowfall is unlikely to stick except at higher elevations.

A police officer called to a shop cash machine raid was hit with a sledgehammer after thieves smashed his car window.
The 41-year-old was hit on the head and arm, leaving him with a badly-swollen face, cuts and bruises, West Midlands Police said.
The officer and a colleague were responding to reports of a burglary at a Tesco Express store in Hamstead, Sandwell, in the West Midlands.
Police said one of a three-strong gang - all with faces covered and wearing dark clothes - targeted the officers, and "as the window of his police car was smashed, the officer was struck".
The group fled empty-handed in what officers described as a dark-coloured, high-powered, Audi A6 estate car, on false number plates.
The gang left tools behind, which are now being studied, along with CCTV of the incident.
Police appealed for witnesses as it emerged the getaway car's boot was still wide open as it sped off - a detail detectives think might prompt potential witnesses to recall the vehicle and where they saw it.
The injured officer was taken to hospital but was discharged after treatment.
Nobody else was hurt. The Hamstead Road store was closed at the time.
Chief Inspector Harvi Khatkar, of West Midlands Police, said: "Day in, day out, our officers put their safety on the line to protect the public from some exceptionally dangerous criminals."
She called for the public's help in tracking down the "desperate thieves".
Anyone with information is urged to call 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

The reason i made this thread is because people claim PS is an EMS jutsu. for my thoughts on that:
most claimed that PS is an EMS technique
before i start, there are some things i would like to point out. this is something i found on the net on other forum.
(1) When Madara used his sent out his normal Susanoo, his eye assumed a normal EMS form.
(2) He could not use Rinnegan Preta Path to absorb Jinton while his EMS was activated, since his Rinnegan was not activated.
(3) Also previously, he has to switch to the Rinnegan before he could absorb Jinton. Of which, Susanoo dissipated when he did it.
(4) When he switched to the Rinnegan, his perfect Susanoo form was shown.
(5) Therefore I believe that the Rinnegan and the EMS are mutually exclusive of each other, AND the Susanoo Perfect form is actually a Rinnegan power, but it is probably usable only by people with BOTH the Rinnegan, and all previously unlocked stages of the sharingan.
Hmmm I am not sure, but maybe I might be wrong on some parts. The Rinnegan was used together with Susanoo with that meteorite jutsu. Perhaps it's usable with Susanoo, but not with the other Rinnegan jutsus if EMS is employed?
Conversely, the EMS was used for genjutsu. Perhaps the Rinnegan had no such
When madara first activated Susanoo, he had his EMS.
then when he activated PS. he had his rinnegan.
now people may say that it is because he already had rinnegan when he activated PS but then why does he change back to his EMS when he uses a genjutsu on A.
the last thing is that madara could not use susanoo when using preta path and vice versa
he says that the susanoo were not fast enough to avoid the jinton but why not absorb it? because he could not.
in my other thread i stated that PS was not exactly an rinnegan tech but an EMS tech greatly improved by senju DNA. the combination of the the uchiha's powerful chakra and spiritual energy and the senju's life force and physical energy.
but according to other people, i am wrong and only EMS is needed.
but i thought about something when madara first uses his PS he refers to this as his full power, so if this is true then that means that EMS is stronger than the Rinnegan? and in my eyes, thats absolutely wrong...

Saturday will be a win, book it
Saturday will be a win, book it
Bargs was so bad on D tonight. Like a pylon. Yes, a nice block of Crash Wallace, but a pylon nonetheless. Interior D look very mediocre tonight. Great wing D, but Bargs is embarrassing.
The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority. - Martin Luther King
He continues to get lost when penetration happens. He either helps when there's already help, or doesn't help at all. He just doesn't know his positions on the floor, and that's a huge reason why JV was in foul trouble as well. He had to do EVERYTHING down low...
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
It wasn't his fault he got abused by G Force. How many 7 footers can guard a small forward like Wallace?
Both plays were very lackadaisical effort on his part. He was barely in a stance and did not even provide enough resistance to give the defense an opportunity to rotate or create a tougher angle for Wallace to get in to the heart of the key.
Bargnani for Gay! let the rumors begin
We'd have the best wing lineup in the league. DeRozan and Gay, that's close to VC and T Mac right there
note: pace is the estimated number of possession in a game. It roughly relates to how 'fast' a team is playing. I also realize that the sample I'll use for this year is extremely small so try not to read into the whole values as an identification of how good or bad Bargnani actually is
2008/09 - Raptors pace 92
2009/10 - Raptors pace 93.1
2010/11 - Raptors pace 93
2011/12 - Raptors pace 89.3
2012/13 - Raptors pace 93
Now I know the difference here doesn't seem like much (3.7 possessions per game), but that is a rather large difference. As a reference the difference between the slowest and fastest paced team in the league last year was 6.4 possessions.
Bargnani's WS/48
2008/09 - 0.76
2009/10 - 0.72
2010/11 - 0.53
2011/12 - 0.104
2012/12 - -0.035
Not necessarily a perfect correlation, but there is a pattern there of Bargnani playing better when the team plays slower.
Which makes me ask, if this Raptors team is planning on picking up the pace (as Colangelo has mentioned numerous times in the offseason) is Bargnani going to have problems fitting with that style?
Last nights effort by Dre was horrendous. He didn't have a good game vs the Nets but last nights was god awful. Hopefully he gets his shit together and plays well vs OKC tomorrow cause there gonna need all the help they can get if they want a W.
I have no doubt in my mind that Bargnani will eventually wake up from his current sleep walk. But that's the point. It's been 7 years, and we've been through this up-and-down cycle every single season. Nothing has changed. He'll have some great games, following by some putrid games, followed by some more great games, and then back to stinking worse than my cat's breath. Rinse, lather, repeat (until he retires).
Bargnani IS the definition of inconsistency. Actually, check that. Bargnani being inconsistent, is the most consistent part of his game.
Last edited by Nilanka; Mon Nov 5th, 2012 at 02:54 PM.
I think it's time we really start using the word "accountable."
Andrea Bargnani does NOT deserve to be in that starting lineup right now. Period. I mean, Amir Johnson has come in, and changed the pace of games ex: Brooklyn, Minnesota game. As much as he is better on the second unit with his man Calderon, he has earned the right to start games.
If we want to win against OKC, he NEEDS to be aggressive offensively, not to mention defensively HAS to be active. Not blocking shots, but knowing where to be in position on the court, to box out, to be the help guy. Too much "this possession I'll try hard, and the next possession I'll take a play off."
It's only 3 games in though, but he has been really disappointing. Only 3 games, but shit effort like that is NO excuse.
..... Bring in Josh Smith! :-)
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
Well, after 6 seasons I can finally say I'm off the Bargnani bandwagon. For all these years I've been a fan and been sure it would all come together, but after last night's game...I'm done, I want him out. The first half of last nights game was the worst display of rebounding and effort I have ever seen. I was watching him off the ball and it was just pathetic. He doesn't even break into a trot at any point of the game when he doesn't have the ball or isn't hedging. When he does hedge he comes way up and then sort of walks back looking for a guy to pick up. I know I"m late to the hate, but I've arrived. He's aweful.

at $250, the Nook
Color, a new e-book reader from America's largest book retailer,
Barnes & Noble, is an interesting proposition. It lacks
apps, but otherwise offers most of the features of a tablet, albeit
crippled to various degrees. The 7" E-Book Reader's
closest competitors are the Samsung
Galaxy Tab and Apple iPad -- the latter of which sells for
$399 in 3G form on Sprint, and the former of which sells for $499 in
Wi-Fi form/$629 in 3G form on AT&T.The device just
started shipping and the early reviews have come in.HardwareThe
Nook Color packs a 7-inch 1024x600 in-plane switching (IPS) LCD
display. IPS have been around since 1996 when Hitachi invented
them. Many argue that IPS displays are harder to read that E
Ink displays, such as the display in the Kindle and the original
Nook. Part of this is due to increased reflectivity. Versus
a traditional tablet like the iPad, Barnes & Noble has employed a
new full-lamination tech called "VividView" which decrease
unglued areas that catch light and cause glare. Reviews at
Gizmodo and Engadget both
complain, though, that the glare is worse than traditional e-book
readers.Inside, the Nook Color is powered by a TI OMAP 3621
CPU clocked at 800MHz, 512 MB of RAM, and 802.11b/g/n WiFi.
There's no 3G. There is 8GB of flash storage, a microSD slot,
micro-USB connector, and 3.5mm headphone jack.The device is
slightly thicker than the Galaxy Tab (0.48-inches, versus
0.472-inches), and weighs slightly more (1 lb versus 0.84
lb).Battery is 8 hours without Wi-Fi. That comes
partially thanks to a light sensor that dims the screen when its
under light.The Nook Color's big secret is that it is Android
device. Hidden inside it is Android 2.1
magazines and newspapers are reportedly inferior to a 10"
format, due to size issues, the tablet reportedly handles e-books
better than the iPad or Tab. Gizmodo writes,
"[I]t's arguably the first seven-inch device that's been
designed to be one from the beginning, rather than a puffed-up
phone."However, problems also abound. The music
player is reportedly hard to use and doesn't automatically recognize
newly added songs until you reset. The web browser doesn't
support pinch-zoom and breaks on many sites (including those that use
Flash).Supported audio and video formats are limited.
The device can play movies on YouTube -- but only at the lowest
resolution.Reviewers praised the inclusion of an Microsoft
Office-document viewer (.ppt, .doc), which was a bit slow but got the
job done. They also said the PDF reader was superb.Despite
being an Android tablet, the Nook Color does not support the Android
Market. Reviewers were baffled by this. Engadget recalls
playing Angry
Birds seamlessly
on a demo unit. Clearly this would have multiplied the value of
the tablet greatly, but perhaps Barnes & Noble was afraid of
muddling a cohesive e-book reader experience. Whatever the
justification, the reviews agree that the lack of apps greatly hurt
the device.ConclusionThe
Nook Color is a jack of all trades and master of none. Its also
unbeatable at its price point -- because there are no other tablets
at its price point. Thus the value of the device is quite
debatable.You could say that the Nook Color represents the
rise of the long-awaited budget Android tablets. On the other
hand, its software is reportedly so crippled that certain activities
become painful. At the end of the day, if your main goal is to
read books digitally the Kindle (or original Nook), seems a better
buy. If you have $500, the Galaxy Tab would be a better buy.
But if you only have $250 and you have to have a tablet, the Nook
Color is really the only solution out there, so it's your best bet
for now.

Gotta love demar love this guy Andrea should learn from this kid and work day in day out!
More money, more production
Was worth the money last season, so repeat that
Gotta love demar love this guy Andrea should learn from this kid and work day in day out!
Great article by CBSSports.com on Demar Derozan up right now.
Its a long one, so I won't even bother posting parts of the article, as I recommend reading the whole thing.
But leave it to an American Outlet to do a better Spotlight on our own player. Ugh.
Demar Derozan's Progress measured in Mental Miles.
A couple Bullet-points they list at the bottom caught my eye though:
I didn't know he was engaged?! Or even that he had a girlfriend? Crazy .. but then again .. why should I know this?CBSSports.com wrote:
More accolades.
Love how he stuffed the stat sheet last night. Last year if he wasn't scoring, he wasn't contributing (weird, who does that sound like?).
that never happens.
The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!
Great game today by Derozan. His offensive game is really developing well.
An interesting stat about Demar I saw today, he leads the league in shots blocked (39). Not exactly a good thing, but at least he is being aggressive. The list includes guys like Greg Monroe, Carmelo Anthony, and Tim Duncan; so it's not necessarily a knock per say.
It's at the bottom of this link
Heir, Prince of Cambridge
I'm not usually one for conspiracies, but the Refs have been especially, and consistently, brutal this season when it comes to Demar. And what I LOVE, is that he's complaining to the refs less than ever. Play the game, young buck.
Ya Demar has really matured, its just too bad he doesnt go to the line as much as all star James Harden I guess thats his next path in growth. Harden's fta is ridiculous hes avg 12 trips refs give this guy the whistle.
If its not a foul than it has to be a foul makes sense
Props from CBS Sports to Demar on his reverse dunk against Houston:
I, for one, have pretty much been proven wrong about DeRozan so far. Didn't except him to play like someone who actually plays like someone you pay more than 6/7 million, but he does. At this point I'm not hoping, but expecting him and Lowry to improve their defense. Off-topic, but I think it's actually very benificial for Lowry to be watching these last two games from the bench and seeing what can be done with teamwork on offense and teamdefense.
I still remain skeptical. DeMar was bad the past few years. He has improved, but improving something bad just makes it mediocre. He gets a lot of minutes, and is still a volume shooter, with a poor TS%, and isn't very clutch (and that just considers his offense). And unlike bigs you pretty much know what you are going to get with a wing after their 2nd or 3rd year.
My leash only extends as far as 3 seasons though.. I guess I'm being a bit harsh since he has shown improvements (which doesn't always happen).. but I'll remain skeptical until at least next season as that is when I expect his biggest leap.

Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring II in the United States, 2011 (ICPSR 34362)
Principal Investigator(s): Hunt, Dana, Abt Associates
The Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring II, 2011, is a collection of interview and bioassay data on over 5000 arrestees in 10 United States counties within 48 hours of their arrest. The collection took place between April 1 and September 30, 2011 and represents the fifth year of ADAM II data collection under the sponsorship of the Office of National Drug Control Policy. The 10 current ADAM II sites are: Atlanta, GA (Fulton County); Charlotte, NC (Mecklenburg County); Chicago, IL (Cook County); Denver, CO (Denver County); Indianapolis, IN (Marion County); Minneapolis, MN (Hennepin County); New York, NY (Borough of Manhattan); Portland, OR (Multnomah County); Sacramento, CA (Sacramento County); and Washington, DC (District of Columbia). In 2011, 5,051 interviews and 4,412 urine tests were conducted in the 10 ADAM II sites over 14 consecutive days in each of two calendar quarters between April 1 and September 30. The samples across these sites represent 35,459 adult males arrested in the 10 sites during the data collection period. Demographic variables include arrest date and time, gender, date of birth, number and types of offenses, county of arrest, race, education, work status, and language of interview.

From wedding dresses and veils to sinks and cabinetry, the blue corrugated building that once housed Bridal Mart, near the intersection of Highway 491/160 and Road G, is poised to reopen as Habitat for Humanity of Montezuma County's new resale shop.
The inside looks a little sparse now, but volunteers are optimistic the shelves will soon be well stocked with merchandise.
More than 800 Habitat affiliates across the United States and Canada operate "ReStores," shops that sell new and "gently-used" building materials, appliances and housewares to the public at discounted prices. All proceeds are then used by the affiliate to fund construction work, either new builds or renovations.
Lynn Anderson, a county resident in her second year as a Habitat volunteer, is acting as ringleader and organizer.
"I'm the only board (of directors) member who is younger than retirement age and without a career. I had some free time on my hands to coordinate," she said.
The local Habitat chapter became an official affiliate in 2008, and Anderson said several factors went into opening the resale shop now. The board, and president Gary Harding, wanted to raise the organization's profile by taking on more projects - something that takes money. Resale shops are typically a Habitat affiliate's steadiest source of revenue.
Other factors included the closure of Builder's Depot - a private business that sold low-cost building supplies - and a generous landlord.
The blue building is owned by Dan Belt of Belt Salvage, who Anderson said is giving Habitat six months of free rent as the shop finds its footing.
"That was absolutely key," she said.
Volunteers have been on the move lately, drawing on their combined handyman skills to modify the building's interior into a usable space. They've knocked down at least one wall, repaired and textured existing drywall and installed a garage door in the back - with help from Belt - to handle larger items.
The resourceful, can-do attitude was exemplified by Greg Kemp, a volunteer and former county commissioner hopeful, who on Wednesday sported a gray Carhartt vest with a "Git-R-Done" patch sewn on the front. He has served as jack-of-all-trades during the remodel - carpentry, some electrical and a bit of plumbing.
"I'm a little of many things, not a lot of any one thing," Kemp said.
The work isn't over yet. Anderson and her cohort are scrambling to finish shelving and general cleanup ahead of Thursday's opening.
Anderson asked for patience as staff learn to operate the cash register and credit card machine. She is wary of getting swamped with customers right away.
But the shop has already drawn interest. Beckoned by the distinctive Habitat for Humanity sign and logo, several people have poked their heads in the door assuming it was already open for business.
"If you build it, they will come," Anderson said.
Habitat resale shops accept items from contractors, retail stores and homeowners trying to downsize and streamline. Sometimes retailers of fixtures, furniture and appliances will donate floor models that are scratched, dented or discontinued but still fully serviceable.
Anderson said the store will carry everything from paint to sporting goods to "bric-a-brac and knickknacks," but added there is a certain threshold for quality - she doesn't want it to become a repository for junk. People should ask themselves if they'd be embarrassed giving their donated items to someone in person.
Donations should be dropped off, if possible, at the store during business hours. Unlike some affiliates, the local Habitat doesn't own an official truck to drive around town for pick-ups. Volunteers use their own cars.
Donors can receive tax-deductible receipts because of Habitat's 501(c)(3) status. Anderson requested that people not bring clothes, food, plastic kitchenware and broken appliances. She also discouraged books.
Ultimately, the store serves three functions: fundraising for Habitat, an affordable shopping outlet for consumers on a budget and removing items otherwise destined for the waste stream.
Anderson said the affiliate's main goals for 2013 are "getting the store off the ground" and launching a new round of Brush With Kindness projects, where front facades of bedraggled houses get a makeover; volunteers freshened up six homes in the last two years. As funding and momentum pick up, Habitat will prioritize remodels over building new homes from scratch, she said, given the number of vacant or run-down houses in Cortez. However, the organization did acquire its first parcel of land, on Par Drive, last July, with intentions to break ground one day.
To qualify for Habitat help, households must earn 60 percent or less of the Montezuma County median income.
"Our motto is giving hands up, not handouts," Anderson said. "All the labor is volunteer, but (the clients) have to partner during the work and pay us back for materials."
The affiliate offers flexible payment plans based on each client's income. One woman, for example, is slowly but surely paying her loan back at a rate of $25 per month.

As per Google, by now it has been considered that online reviews are one of the most important factors in improving your local search ranking. Many of the market research have always proved that reviews from customers and even the other online reviews are very much helpful in converting the footfall into potential customers. This is because maximum of the customers rely on a particular site only after reading the online reviews of the customer reviews on that particular site. Local SEO services often take the help of the online reviews in order to get your business site a good ranking in the search engines.
Business Listing On Google
The very first step that you need to do is to claim or list your business site on the search engine Google. One of the best ways is to get it listed on Google My Business. Some other local business listing services where you can list your business site for reviews are Facebook, Foursquare and others. A proper listing on Google can help your customers reach you without any difficulty. When anyone searched your business site, they get your site along with a local map of the location of your office in the city.
Listing on Review Sites
It is not necessary that the customers will only rely on the customer reviews that are provided on your own site. Customers will only believe your service if they can see good comments and reviews about your business on some other review sites. Hence, it is highly important for you to list your business site with many other local business listing services such as City Search or many others depending upon the type of business that you are offering through your site. This not only helps the customers to know about you, but also to have a trust on your services.
Responding To Reviews
It is not that you should only get reviews. In order to have a good ranking, you also need to be interactive with the reviewers. Responding to the reviews that are coming either on your site or on some other sites, help in making a review interactive. The more interactive a review will become, the better will become the ranking of your site in the search engine.
Filtering The Feedbacks
The design of your company website plays a critical role in determining the overall growth and thus success. Would you then want any visitor to get irritated after seeing your website or would you want to face a situation where visitors hardly spend a few seconds scanning the web pages. Perhaps not and thus when it comes to hiring a website design company, you leave no stone unturned. Well this certainly is a good move, but at the same time it is suggested that all through the designing stages you be closely involved with the Design Company and make sure your web outlook is in line with the objectives. When it comes to website designing, the domain is huge. Basically there are too many features to pay attention to. However, a professional and experienced web designing company wouldn't essentially go all wrong. A well selected firm would know its job well and thus will pay attention to the execution. In best interests of your company, thus you can narrow down the work and pay attention to the 3C's of website design - Creativity, Content and Cross browser Compatibility.

Cross browser compatibility
With so many browser options available you cannot restrict a viewer to view your website across a particular browser or a set of those. Neither is it practical to attempt design modification, every now and then, to suit the requirements of browser gaining user popularity. A sensible alternative will be to ensure that the website design company conceptualizes a website which is compatibility or looks great and functions well, irrespective of the browser. Again a completely flash website design will not be cross browser compatible. Many handhold devices miss out on flash support and a number of users opt not to install plug-ins. In the name of an interesting website design, would you want your company to miss out?
One of the best and the most successful invention of all times has been the internet or one may say Web. It started as a means of connection between some space agencies and military programs, but has eventually increased its use and popularity in a very short number of years.
This very well helped us change the world we live in by helping access the world's information in just a click away. But this search engine attained popularity due to certain reasons. The reasons are many, but some of them are more vastly encountered such as fast connectivity, worldwide approach and its designing.
One tends to appreciate the designs, the graphics being used in the website as an outlook. We also tend to have more emphasis on the websites which appeal more to the users visually.
Their reach is not only fixed to websites but to pages and many more sites. They have re-revolutionized the way we look at our computer screens and their appearance, making them from black and white to colorful and pretty much attractive.
Websites need to be much more attractive and more explainable towards the audience, which we tend to target. They are in a huge demand in today's world as they tend to change our perspective towards the outlook of the world.

Poorly controlled diabetes can lead to significantly increased risk of heart disease (CVD), peripheral neuropathy , amputations , retinopathy, and kidney disease. The A1c blood test is considered a good indicator of overall blood glucose control. The current recommendation to decrease complications of diabetes is an A1c level less than 7%. Some medical professionals have looked into the benefit of aiming for A1c's even lower, below 6%, commonly called intensive blood glucose control. There is conflicting information as to whether the lower rate is beneficial.
Two studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine looked at the benefits and risk of intensive blood glucose control therapy. The results of both studies suggest it may be more harmful than beneficial to target the A1c less than 6.5%.
A group called the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD), investigated intensive therapies ability to decrease CVD risk. The study was stopped early because of higher rates of death in the intensive treatment group. The second study was conducted by the Action in Diabetes and Vascular Disease group (ADVANCE). Their study followed intensive therapy with drug interventions and found an increase in hospitalization and low blood sugar with intensive blood sugar lowering.
About the Studies
The ACCORD trial was a randomized control study that followed 10,251 patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients were assigned to a standard therapy group or an intensive therapy group. The patients were tracked for any significant cardiovascular event including death.
The study was halted at 3.5 years when the intensive therapy group was found to have a higher mortality rate. Also, at 3.5 years there were no significant reductions in cardiovascular events for the intensive therapy group.
The ADVANCE study followed 11,140 patients with type 2 diabetes. Participants were assigned to standard glucose control or intensive glucose control. The intensive glucose control used gliclazide and other drugs to reach an A1c level of 6.5% or less. While there was no difference is mortality between the groups, there was a significantly increased rate of hospitalization and hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar), in the intensive glucose control group. The intensive glucose control group did benefit from slower progression of diabetic kidney disease but the long-term benefits of this are not known.
How Does This Affect You?
Lowering blood sugar is an important part of controlling diabetes along with exercise and diet. Work with your doctor to decide what level is safe and beneficial for you. Do not try to lower your blood sugar or change your medications without consulting your doctor. Low blood sugar can be very dangerous.
