McCain, Kennedy, Gutierrez, Flake collaborating on immigration "reform"
Two of the most liberal members of Congress met with two of their most conservative colleagues this week to revive immigration legislation that passed the Senate but was throttled by House Republican leaders who resisted its attempt to grant citizenship to illegal immigrants.If anyone can put the "u" back in collaborateur, it's the last. More on him here.
"The plan is to bring the bill up in late winter," said Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., a conservative stalwart who attended the meeting in the office of Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. The other participants were Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill.
One of the problems with the article is this:
That enforcement-heavy approach is fine with immigration advocates as long as it is part of a package that provides permanent legal status to those who are beckoned across the border by agriculture, restaurant, construction, landscaping and janitorial jobs.Unfortunately, all of those "immigration advocates" currently strongly support illegal immigration. They will not stop that support if they get "reform". Moreover, if they get "reform" they'll have even more political and financial power and they'll be even more effective at supporting illegal immigration.

The four treasonous ones listed here are disgusting. Enemies of America. They have their globalist/corporatist agendas. Americans have soundly and LOUDLY rejected that agenda. Yet they still proceed like deaf men. Listen to the people! NO AMNESTY. Not now, not ever. Build the WALL. No more talk about "reform", not until the border is first secured. Enforce the law we already have. Deport and enforce. Close the border. No immigration,legal or illegal. Overpopulation is killing our way of life, not improving it. This is the last time Jeebie says "please".

The Greek system at Florida Atlantic University is the fastest growing in Florida, university statistics show. And this fall`s rush -- five days of recruiting new members -- brought more than 120 people into the eight fraternities and sororities at the Boca Raton-based school.
Further, Greek adviser J. Allen Ward said that about 10 other fraternities and sororities have been courting FAU to expand in South Florida.
College freshmen nationwide are learning the alpha-beta-gammas about the social life that can complement their higher education.
Some are looking for the wild college parties. Others simply want to meet friends and be active leaders on campus.
``The attractive thing about Greek life is brotherhood and the support of a peer group,`` Ward said. ``Rush helps new students meet people, and it helps the Greeks develop social skills -- talking to new people who might have totally different interests, and being their host.``
Rush week at FAU was conducted during the second week of classes so that the freshmen and transfer students had some time to adjust to their new environment. Most colleges schedule rush during the first week of classes or the week before classes begin.
The week was chock-full of parties: Monday Night Football, progressive music, barbecues, beach blasts and bikini contests. Fraternity rushees paid a one- time $5 rush fee, which gave them access to more than 20 parties. Sorority rushees paid $10, and had as much fun.
``This is the first year we`ve had a rush registration,`` said Interfraternity Council President Pete Striano, a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi. ``It helps pay for the parties and the rush brochures, and discourages people from coming just to eat the free food.``
Striano, also AEPi`s rush chairman and a resident of Coral Springs, said that rushees are ``looking for people they can have ties with on campus, to make FAU more than just going to classes and going home like high school.``

Will Bad Funds Make Good Law?: Janus v. First Derivative Traders Part II
The market-timing stories are much more than allegations. According to the 4th Circuit, Petitioners Janus Capital Group, Inc. ("JCG") and Janus Capital Management, LLC ("JCM") have admitted that they "had, for years, entered into secret arrangements to allow several hedge funds to engage in market timing transactions in various Janus Funds." According to the SEC, one of the largest of the dozen special investors was permitted to make 500 trades totaling over $2.5 billion in purchases over less than two years, between 2001 and 2003. This market-timer kept as much as $263 million invested in Janus mutual funds in 2003.
And, it is clear, according to the 4th Circuit, "The prospectuses for a number of the individual Janus funds stated that the funds had policies of discouraging market timing and that the funds engaged in measures to deter such behavior." Thus, the operators of Janus funds were two-faced, promising one practice, but allowing another.
Indeed counsel for Janus group Petitioners at oral argument stated that "[T]he policy says funds are not intended for market timing. The adviser allowed 12 traders to trade frequently."
Does Market-Timing Harm Ordinary Fund Investors?
These trading practices can be very lucrative for the market-timers. However, they can interfere significantly with the fund portfolio managers. The behavior can dilute the value of the fund shares for ordinary, long-term investors. As the 4th Circuit noted:
"Market timing has the potential to harm other fund investors by diluting the value of shares, increasing transaction costs, reducing investment opportunities for the fund, and producing negative tax consequences."
Janus fund investors lost millions of dollars across 7 different funds due to these practices. And, as detailed below, were compensated through a $100 million settlement entered into between JCM and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition to promising to prohibit market-timing, many of the Janus fund prospectuses assured investors that redemption fees would be charged to those accounts that withdrew cash from the fund after very recently investing. And, JCG charged those redemption fees for many of the Janus mutual fund investors. However, certain special investors were not charged redemption fees.
The no-market-timing-allowed language in the prospectuses was designed to attract long-term investors. The incentive to let some investors break the rules was that these big investors would promise to only trade rapidly with a small amount of money and would keep a much larger portion, in the hundreds of millions of dollars for the longer term in the Janus mutual funds. Keeping the money in the fund meant bigger management fees for the Janus fund operator – JCG and JCM.
In other words, there were two sets of rules. One set of rules applied to ordinary investors who if they engaged in market-timing or rapid trading would have to pay fees for redemptions and/or would be blocked from the fast trading practices or even have their accounts closed. However, another set of hidden rules applied to the dozen big, favored investors. JCG through its subsidiaries secretly had fees waived and were not stopped from engaging in the trading that benefited them and hurt other fund investors.
And, most importantly for this case, owners of stock in the parent company JCG, had reason to believe that in running its mutual funds, JCG played by the rules set out in the prospectuses that it wrote for the funds it created, marketed, operated and controlled.

Hi every body
Yesterday, I bought a new financial calculator TI BA II
plus for taking CFA exam. Before, I also owned an HP 12C.
After doing some TVM (time value of money) exercises, I
realized that TI BA II plus was faster than HP 12C very
very much when solve for i (interest) and IRR. so, I
wonder why most of professional financial analyst like HP
12C than TI BA II plus ?
any comments?
Later HP business calculators such as the 17BII and 19BII are also many times faster than the old 12C. (15 times faster.)
But the 12C lives on and they're gone. I guess speed isn't everything.
I'm a lecturer for a CFA exam review course. For a while, the video presentations I did on the time value of money using the BAII Plus and 12c were available for free viewing on the web.
The 12c was all there was for quite some time and so it developed quite a following.
Today, the BAII Plus has a great deal of additional functionality and speed that the 12c does not possess, you are correct.
The 12c (perhaps not the VERY recently made ones) feels much more solid...not cheap like the BAII Plus does.
The BAII Plus sells for $29.99, the 12c for $60-80.
I just wish HP made a $30 business calculator that:
1) USED operator precedence...1+2x3 = 7, not 9!!!!!
2) Had built-in trig functions
3) Had more statistics
The HP-12C has not operator precedence... is RPN!
1 (enter) 2 (enter) 3 * + results 7.
Are you talking about the other financial HP calculators (10B, 17B, 19B) that uses algebric entry??
Yes, quite correct. The 10B/10BII (which is HP's entry to compete with the BAII Plus) does not have it.
The 12C platinum, which is also algebraic, does not have parentheses OR precedence.
Really a mystery that one.
Hi Gene
What do you think about HP 10BII?
I have both HP12C and HP10BII, I think that the 10BII is much faster and uses 12 digits against the 10 digits of the 12C but lacks the programability and the date functions.
The 10BII hasn't operator precedente in its algebrical entry. I think that the 12C is better, but slower. And the durability is another story... My 12C is 22 years old, and works like a charm! I don't think that the 10BII will last half longer.
I know it's not made anymore but it sounds like the HP27S would fit your profile.
"1) USED operator precedence...1+2x3 = 7, not 9!!!!! 2) Had built-in trig functions 3) Had more statistics etc."
What I'm saying is that to compare to the $30 BAII Plus, HP's only offering is the 10BII, which lacks a large number of functions the BAII Plus has.
I'd take my 19BII if I really wanted to do these things, but that's not in the $30 class.
If TI can make a business model for $30 with precedence, trig, etc., surely HP can do it.
The 10BII is not a competitor for the BAII Plus.
Your number one issue about precidence HAS always bothered me with business calculators. But I suspect all business types to be a slow and dimwitted bunch and not even noticing this problem (Especially those DAMN MBA's!). Well, okay, you noticed it. 8o) And the Ti BA II also does this UNTIL you re-configure it also.
At least Hp always included parenthisis keys up until the Hp12c platinum (If you don't count the Hp10 printing calc).
I know you need recommendations for your books and classes so calculators like the 27s cannot be considered as someone here suggested. But it really was the 2nd best pocket calculator ever made, even without RPN (I have to exclude the 41c series with accessories to make this statement).

Coffeehouse and cafe set to open in Purdy
Efforts to revitalize Purdy's downtown business district are poised to take another step forward with the opening of the Utopian Bean coffeehouse and cafe at 200 Washington St. on Friday, May 20.
Located in a newly refurbished building that is also home to the offices of Project Genesis, the Utopian Bean is a perfect gathering place for those looking for a freshly brewed cup of coffee, an expresso drink or a delicious homemade sandwich.
Patrick and Pam Foland are ready to open up their brand new eatery and coffeehouse to the public next Friday. A special opening night celebration will take place from 6 to 10 p.m.
Area patrons will have the opportunity to step inside the doors of Purdy's newest business and enjoy a full menu that includes hot and cold coffee drinks, two different homemade soups, the soon-to-be-famous Utopian salad, five different sandwiches and a big selection of delicious desserts. The Captain's Son will also be on hand to provide live music.
The Folands, who have called Purdy home since 1997, have been dreaming of opening a local coffeehouse for several years. With their home located just a few blocks from Washington Street, the Folands often walked or rode their bikes by the old deteriorating building and imagined a coffeehouse inside.
"When we walked or drove by, there was this empty old shell of a building, but we saw a coffeehouse," said Pam.
When Ed Mareth began renovating the historic building last year, the Folands decided to approach him with their idea for a new business in downtown Purdy.
The Folands' business plan impressed Mareth, and he offered to lease the couple space in his building and gave them the opportunity to design the interior of the coffeehouse to their liking.
"Ed Mareth has been so supportive of this," said Patrick. "Anything we need, he's there for us."
Patrick designed the space inside the coffeehouse himself to include seating for 50, a modern coffee bar and plenty of room for comfortable leather coaches and chairs that encourage patrons to sit down and stay awhile.
A large flat screen TV and free wi-fi add modern touches to the coffeehouse, which also pays tribute to the building's history with framed black and white photos from Purdy's past. One of the images shows the interior of the building when it housed a soda fountain in the 1950s.
"We love this old building, and we wanted to pay tribute to its history," said Pam. "It just feels like the Utopian Bean was meant to be here."
The Folands plan to offer delicious coffee and a menu that will appeal to all appetites. "Hardy" is how Patrick describes the sandwiches the Utopian Bean will be serving. And Pam adds that the menu will also include lighter fare such as chicken salad on a crossaint. Breakfast will be served in the mornings with menu items ranging from homemade cinnamon rolls to breakfast burritos.
Specials will keep the menu fresh, and there are plans to hold spaghetti nights or steak nights on evenings throughout the year as well as occasional street parties with outside music, dancing and food.
The Folands would also like the Utopian Bean to become a venue where local musicians can play on a regular basis. Anyone interested in playing in front of a crowd can contact Patrick through the Utopian Bean's Facebook page or by calling the business at 417-442-3014.
The Utopian Bean will initially be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends.

Will Netflix's entry shake up the Indian OTT market?
Post: #1
Will Netflix's entry shake up the Indian OTT market?
MUMBAI: Will Netflix's entry shake up the Indian over-the-top (OTT) market, which had seen frenzied activity in the previous year?
A lot will depend on what kind of local content Netflix offers and at what price point. Then there are other challenges like low bandwidth, piracy and lack of digital payment options.
All of this aside, the entry of Netflix into the Indian market adds a new dimension to the OTT space. It is expected to expand the digital video market, up content investments and set up a pricing model for Indian consumers who are largely used to free or pirated online content.
Sony Pictures Networks India EVP and head of digital business Uday Sodhi believes that the OTT market in India will see rapid growth. "The market is huge in terms of size. With smartphone penetration going up, bandwidth set to improve with the launch of 4G, and payment systems improving, the market is set to grow and there is room for everyone here," he said.
Surely, there will be more action. While the existing OTT players will increase their investments, there will be two new arrivals. Viacom18 will launch Voot and content production house Balaji Telefilms will get its OTT platform up and running under the Alt brand.
Sodhi also believes that piracy will see a decline with Netflix content available legitimately. "Earlier, what was being consumed through piracy and illegal downloads will be available legitimately. When legitimate means are available over a period of time, consumers prefer to watch it through legal and fair means," he said.
Still, Netflix's entry will not bring in immediate miracles. According to several media analysts, scale and pay models will continue to be a challenge for the OTT players. The year will also see how some companies like Spuul and YuppTV are able to raise capital. While YuppTV has already raised $15 million in Series A funding, it is planning to raise $50 million in Series B.
Moving to subscription-driven service
While a large part of the online streaming services are free at this stage, everybody realises that the industry has to move to a subscription model. The pay services available in the Indian market are lower at this stage, keeping in line with the cable TV and direct-to-home (DTH) ARPUs (average revenue per user). BoxTV (owned by Times Internet) and Hooq (JV between Warner Bros., Sony Pictures and Singapore telecom giant Singtel) charge Rs 199 a month. While Hungama charges a monthly price of Rs 249, Spuul offers its premium content for $4.99.
Among the broadcasters, Hotstar (Star India) and Sony Liv are free services while Ditto (ZEEL) charges Rs 150 a month. Sony Liv has just started SVOD for movies and charges Rs 149 per month.
Netflix has decided to come in at a higher price, expecting to mop up the high-end consumers. The streaming video giant has launched in India with a basic monthly plan of Rs 500 for viewing in SD, Rs 650 for HD and Rs 800 for 4K. Many executives of OTT platforms believe the price is too steep for a price-conscious Indian market where cable TV and DTH connections are still cheap.
Comparatively, the cable and DTH customers in the US pay much more than their Indian counterparts. Apart from good content, the high price of traditional TV services also played a big role in Netflix's meteoric rise in the US.
"The US cable TV ARPU is around $60–100 while Netflix's subscription rates are in the bracket of $8–12. That is a noticeable price arbitrage advantage. The Indian cable TV market has one of the lowest ARPUs worldwide. Netflix's basic subscription plan is on a par with the premium cable/DTH packs. Combined with high data costs in India, this global advantage looks difficult to adapt to the Indian market," said Viacom18 Digital Ventures COO Gaurav Gandhi.
OTT player YuppTV CEO Uday Reddy concurs with Gandhi. "If you look at the US, the traditional platforms charge $60–70. Comparatively, Netflix is only $10 so when I am getting premium content at Rs 200–300, paying Rs 500 for on-demand content is on the higher side," Reddy averred.
YuppTV has a dual business model of ad and subscription; however, Reddy is going more enthusiastic about the former. "In a country like India, if the CPM rate goes high, that model is much better than a subscription model. Netflix's subscription price is on a higher side for the Indian market," he said.
The pricing looks even steeper when one looks at Netflix's current content offering, which largely consists of international content and a few Bollywood films like 'Piku', 'Singh Is King', 'Hum AapKe Hain Koun' and 'Maine Pyar Kiya'. "For OTT platforms, it gets interesting only when they have meaningful local programming. Forget TV shows and sports, even with respect to movies, they have very few Indian films, compared to Eros Now, Hotstar, and Hooq," said the head of an OTT platform.
Netflix is not going to play the mass-pricing role, but will tap consumers who are willing to pay for its service. "With the pricing that they have announced, Netflix can't go mass. But however challenging, a pay system is getting built in India," said a media analyst.
Alt Digital Media Entertainment, a wholly owned subsidiary of Balaji Telefilms that houses the OTT business, has decided that it will adopt a subscription model right from the start. Why will subscribers pay? "Unlike other OTT players, all our content will be original and not available anywhere. We are rightly positioned to adopt the subscription model," said Alt Digital Media Entertainment chief executive officer Nachiket Pantvaidya.
Yash Raj Films VP of digital Anand Gurnani believes that a lot of people will sample Netflix content out of curiosity even if it means paying Rs 500 per month.
"They have come up with pricing that is on a par with their global pricing strategy, but how much adaptability the Indian audience will give them is something that remains to be seen. My gut feeling is that as it is a new phenomenon, a lot of people will sample it, and at the end as we all know content is king. So if there is differentiated content, they may not mind paying Rs 500 extra," Gurnani said.
Original content
With Netflix's entry, OTT players are expected to up their content investments. Though Netflix does not have much of India content at this stage, its content budget is huge. In 2016, Netflix will spend $5 billion on content.
According to Viacom18's Gandhi, the limited licensed content and the lack of original content are the biggest drawbacks for Netflix in India.
Pointing out the other missing pieces from Netflix's arsenal, Gandhi stated, "Netflix has an impressive English content library – both licensed and original. In the Indian context, they would need to go beyond just their English content library. Yes, Netflix could create originals, but that will take some time. It will be interesting how Netflix looks at their content strategy in India."
There is no doubt that Netflix will dabble in local content once it manages to get a foothold in the Indian market. Right now, the OTT service will only appeal to niche audiences who are crazy about Netflix's original programmes like 'House of Cards' and 'Orange is the New Black'.
The local OTT players need to create successful original content. "We will need to spend more than what traditional TV is paying for content right now. Investment per hour will have to be more," said Pantvaidya.
Other isssues
While new launches are always a good thing, YuppTV's Reddy feels that a lot of infrastructure-related issues need to get sorted before OTT takes off in a big way in the Indian market.
"Besides the growth of wireless broadband, there is a requirement for landline broadband growth because video will still be consumed on TV. That will also take off with this activity, with a major player coming in. The big experience comes from TV everywhere, not just from mobile," he stated.
The big screen and wired broadband, which have been Netflix's calling cards in the US, are missing in India. "Globally Netflix content is viewed primarily through larger screens over broadband connections. The OTT explosion in India is happening primarily on the smaller mobile screens. Mobile network penetration is higher (and increasingly so) than broadband penetration. With telcos launching 4G services and broadband penetration increasing, the availability of price-rationalized infrastructure will happen in the near future. How Netflix adopts its strategy to account for this difference in the current data delivery mechanisms will be crucial to its impact in India," stated Gandhi.

1st. – In the first column you will enter the Name of every person who sojourned in each house on the night of Sunday the 13th of January, as well as strangers as members of the family; and also those members of the family who are temporarily absent, but whose usual residence it is.
2nd. – In the second column enter the Trade, Profession, or calling, of each person. Where a Son works for the benefit of his Father – if the Father be a Farmer, enter the Son or Sons as Laborers – if a mechanic or Tradesman, enter the Son as the same, unless he follows a different trade.
3rd. – In the third column give the Country in which each person was born, (not the particular Town or City) and distinguish between Lower Canada and Upper Canada, and Prussia and the German States.
4th. – Requires no comment.
5th. – In the fifth column give the Religion; carefully distinguishing the class of Presbyterians or Methodists, where such there are – thus, if Presbyterians in connection with the old Kirk, or Church of Scotland, mark them C. of S.; if with the Free Church, or Presbyterian Church of Canada, mark them F. C.; and if United Presbyterians, mark them U.P. The Methodists also you will mark with W. for Wesleyan; E. for Episcopal; and N.C. for New Connexion; and if none of these, then mark them "other" Methodists. There are no sects other than these two requiring special distinguishing marks and the Primitive Methodists should be marked letter P.
6th. – The sixth column is only intended to note the Residence of any Strangers that may have been in the house on Sunday night, the 13th January. If their residences cannot be found out mark it "unknown," in this column.
Columns 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 need no explanation.
13th. – In this column mark a figure (1) after every Colored person's name, i.e., Negro or Negress. This was much neglected last Census and the number of colored persons was not ascertained. If Mulatto, marked M after his or her name – thus, (1) M.; and if Indians, mark "Ind."
Nos. 14, 15, 16, 17. – These four columns should include all the residents in the house, whether members of family, Clerks, Servants, or Apprentices – but not causal travellers or visitors, as they are noted in the 5th column.
Nos. 18 and 19. – In these columns note the members of the family temporarily Absent.
These six columns from 14 to 19, both included, should, when added up, agree with columns 8 and 9 together – You are requested to take car that they do agree.
Nos. 20, 21 and 22. – Partial blindness need not be noted. Be careful to distinguish between Lunatics and Idiots. Lunatics are persons whose faculties are impaired; Idiots are such as never possessed vigorous faculties at any time.
23 and 24. – The columns are intended to include all Children generally attending School through the year, although casually or occasionally absent.
25, 26, 27, 28. – Require no comment.
Nos. 29, 30, 31. – These are to note the Age and cause of Death where deaths have occurred in the family, within the year 1860; and you will be very particular in endeavoring to arrive at the truth in every case both as to the age and cause of death, if such information can be obtained, as these show the healthfulness of the country, or otherwise.
32, 33, 34, 35 &36 require no comment.
37 to 45. These columns are intended to apply only to Live Stock of Persons resident in Cities, Towns, Villages, &c., and who are not Farmers. The Stock held by the latter will be returned in the Agricultural Census.
The succeeding columns are easily understood, but in the last it is desirable to include all Churches and places of Worship, the extent of their accomodation and value.
Care must also be taken to note in the columns left for such purpose, Shops, Stores, Inns, Taverns, Schools &c., also Factories of all kinds, Mills, Ship Yards, Woollen Factories, Lathes, &c., &c., &c., and note whether wrought by steam or water or wind power. You will also endeavour to procure accurate information as to the average annual produce of the Factories whether in Lumber, Flour, Leather, or Cloth, &c., &c., and also the value of Property invested, if possible to be obtained; and the number of Hands employed in each Factory: distinguishing the numbers of Male and Female, in fact all the information with regard to Manufactures which you can obtain. The last Census was very deficient in this respect. You will fill one sheet before commencing another, and put an equal number of names on each sheet, except, of course, the last, which there may not be names to fill.
In taking the Agricultural Census which is to contain only the names of heads of families occupying lands, whether male of female, you will take care that opposite each person's name (in column 4) the total number of Acres occupied within the limits of your Enumeration District, by him or her, is legibly set down in good figures and that columns 5 and 9, when added, correspond with column 4, and Columns 6, 7 & 8 should agree with 5.
The other columns are easily understood.
In column 50 it has been thought desirable to designate the value of Working Horses separate from other animals, as they are an important element in the Agricultural policy of the Country.
Column 54 should include the Value of all the live stock mentioned in columns from 46 to 53 inclusive. They form a very important item in the wealth of the Country, and will be a criterion of the Comparative state of Agriculture in each Township and County, and also in Canada as compared with other Countries.
In columns 62 & 63, you will set down the Number and Value of pleasure Carriages, and pleasure Sleighs, Cutters, &c. kept by each person. Where two or three are kept by the same person, the value of all may be set down in one sum in Dollars.
Column 68 is left for any Remarks you may think right to make, as to cause of Deficiency in any particular Crops, &c. &c. &c.
You will endeavour to impress upon the people in your Enumeration District, that the information here sought has no reference whatever to taxation, and that Accuracy in their returns is of the highest importance, in order to ascertain the state of the resources of the Country and encourage the introduction and investment of Capital in the Colony, where the Statistics, truthfully taken, warrant the investment.
William Hutton,
Extract form letter from Wm Hutton Esqn Secretary Bureau of Agriculture and Statistics and Patent Office dated Quebec Dec 10th, 1860.
With regard to Indians you will endeavour from every source in you power to ascertain their number and also the value of the Furs sold by them distinguishing the different Furs; and as far as you can the Venison sold by them; also the Furs and Venison sold by other than Indians.
With regard to shanty men you will "take" all you can find in your district distinguishing if possible those shanty men who have permanent homes, and who are merely temporarily in the Bush, who have no regular homes.
The Former will probably be entered elsewhere as absentees. The others should be no where noted unless by you or your Enumerator.
It is important the whole number of hands employed at Lumber Work manufacturing Timber and you will also be particular in answering Queries with regard to skills, and if any Job be caught please note them carefully in the Columns.
Richard Carney Esq (Illegible) yours with Respect

This isn't about an area of Pittsburgh, but my hometown Mississauga and Surrey (really. beats me what it's doing in my dream). It's in point form because really, it could be a wicked little short story/novella. Too much other stuff to do today.
The Cast
She: Main girl character
She/he=he/she: A vampire who captures her
Scar man: not sure if he's wonderful yet. But I think he is.
Out shopping and it starts to pour (some kind of Holt Renfrew-Saks deal). She's with her mom, aunt and cousin. The three leave and she tries to quickly exit the store
Christian Laboutin boots capture her attention
A woman keeps on telling her she should buy them
It's easter (why they're shopping I don't know)
She asks in a trance if she can get a ride—but doesn't specify church or to her car. Her car is actually in the next parking lot…so why she'd need a ride is beyond her.
The woman I think offers it first—I'm hazy on the strict deets
She runs around trying to get ready, like, put her own clothes back on and when she's finally done she is wearing her black leather jacket in the car with the lady
Has a sinking feeling that she shouldn't be in the car
The lady puts her arm around the girl and touches the jacket. 'Oh you like this right?'
'Yes, I like the skin. (shit, what am I thinking) the (what the hell is that word)'
Laugh from the lady who now looks like a man…a she/he
'Yes I'm sure you do'
'Where are we going?'
'Is that close to Mississauga? Is it a street or a place?'
Laugh, 'It is a street'
Driving, rain has stopped.
This sure as hell doesn't look like Mississauga…rolling hillside, colourful houses…no cookie cutter here.
'Where did you say this was again? Are we south of Mississauga?'
Laugh, 'Yes.'
The girl was compelled (controlled) by the vampire and they actually left the country..no sense of time
They're in the vamps house. Dark, flashes of wood furniture
She remembers images of the vampire explaining that she doesn't smell right. And slowly the compulsion wears off. The images are clearer. The vampire is running her/his hand along a table saying we're all animals but you, don't seem to be one. An abomination. Then he/she bites the girl sucking blood. Disgusting, but I can't let go of you yet. The first person who gets you is the prince.
Days go by, the compulsion wears on and off and she realizes that she's wearing the Christian Louboutin boots that she tried on. Strange. It's almost like a cow bell, the she/he vamp can hear the girl whenever she walks…not that she wants to take them off. On a particularly lucid day though, she says, biting into the peach she was given, to her captor, "you know I remember stories from home about vampires. Maybe I'm meant for only one vampire which is why I don't taste good to you, or smell good for that matter. And when he finds you, he won't be happy." She's never stepped outside of the house or seen anyone. Someone knocks.
'Shit. Sit down and shut up you wench'
She stands stock still and listens to the conversation
'Who do you have here?'
'Don't lie to me Balthazar'
In a moment her lucidity is replaced with a blast of hazy vision.
'You owe me and you've been holding THIS here? She's mine.'
'Fine. You won't like the way she tastes.'
Slam. There's a sickening thud on the floor
'Be glad I didn't kill you'
He picks her up and takes her out.
The sunlight hurts so much.
She is taken to new vampire's house. And when they get far enough away from old She/he she becomes lucid again and turns to see that he's preparing the space, remaining very silent. She finally gets to look down and she realizes that she's lost about 40 pounds, she's almost skin and bone. And she's wearing rags and the Louboutin boots. Then when she turns to look at him, he compels her/ controls her gaze such that she cannot ever look at his face. She's never allowed to look at him.
She becomes his housekeeper.
He explains one day that she can't look at him because he's ugly..he's marred by a HUGE ass scar down one side of his face. A wolf attack.
Then one day he is summoned to the royal court
He has to take her
They go
She belongs to the prince—her smell compels him
But this dude is the prince's older brother and actually heir to the throne
The prince woos her in court and then I woke up thinking I think the girl fell in love with scar vampire, and the question of the day is 'do I go with the one I love or the one who loves me?'
Here's a bit of Vampire Weekend to enhance the vampire theme: http://www.vampireweekend.com/
(Before you go. Know they're not dark and mysterious, but light and wonderful).
And here's Surrey (from Google…someone can straighten me out if they want)…not as hilly as in my dream…

Hi ALL
I was wondering if there were any good firewall out there. Im currently usin AtGuard but dont feel safe for some reason. If you know any good firewall let me know.
The best firewall is to disconnect the system from the internet. in all seriousness though, some of the best are free : agnitums outpost (http://agnitum.com/) being one of the best in my opinion. If yoiu have the time and the inclination, an old 486 with a distribution of either Linux runing IPTables or a BSD running IPF would be the best. Stateful firewalling with the greatest of control is definitely the way to go.
Hope this helps,
Good luck.
\"I believe that you can reach the point where there is no longer any difference between developing the habit of pretending to believe and developing the habit of believing.\"
search the forum....this topic has been covered many times.
This has been asked countless times already... I think someone even asked it a few days ago. Anyway, search the archives. Everything you could ever want to know about different firewalls has been discussed and is available there.
FWIW, AtGuard is still my favorite of all the Windows products, even as old as it is. It's too bad Symantec went out and ruined it. I haven't found another product that matches its flexibility.
Do what you want with the girl, but leave me alone!
whats doing? use smoothwall

Not picking on you, but everyone should learn to use the search feature!
It isn't paranoia when you KNOW they're out to get you...
im sorry i guess i should have used the search
wasent thinkin streinght
zonealarm has now a update and i think this time it works verry good
Windows is just as chees, everywhere you look you see holes.
Personally I believe Linux w/ IPTables is the best way to go.. go to garage sales to try and find an old i386 or something.. load linux and setup IP tables. ez as 1,2,3. heh not really but.. it will teach you something about Linux and tcp/ip. Check it out -->IP tables tut

Stephen Elop has recently announced China as Nokia biggest single market, and stats from AdDuplex has underlined that view, with the country only being a close second to US in app usage, and likely to surpass it very soon.
It is therefore fitting that Nokia does not keep the country waiting for their new range of Windows Phone 8 handsets. Nokia launched their full range yesterday, from the low-end Nokia Lumia 620 to the mid-range 820 and the high end 920T.
In the above video Paul Huang, Nokia China sales director, announces that pre-orders are opening for the handsets, with the Nokia Lumia 920 retailing for RMB 4599 ($736), the 820 for RMB 3499 ($560) while the 620 will retail for 1999 ($318).
The handsets are expected to be available via major retailers in the region.
Thanks Shaik for the tip.

I've just been alerted to a really interesting post delving into the origins of our hobby.
Character Sheets in 1975 gives some imagery and context for the very first character sheets in RPGs.
With all this OSR discussion lately, it really makes you wonder how the hobby could have evolved in different directions before these fundamentals we locked into place.

I was following your instructions on your website regarding spyware removal. I used Adware and had it delete/rmeove all affected files. I then rebooted and my desktop opened through windows explorer. I do not know how to get my desktop back. All I can see is my wallpaper but no icons or start menu.
Please help as I am getting frustrated with my computer GRRRRR!!!!
Small correction...the software I used was Ad Aware. Could somebody please respond to this query or advise if I have posted this query on the incorrect forum? Has Ad Aware affected the computer's ability to display the normal desktop?

The Ontario Court of Appeal has released its much anticipated decision in Moore v. Getahun 2015 ONCA 55. The decision specifically addresses the extent to which communication between counsel and experts is permitted, specifically under the 2010 amendments to the Ontario Rules of Civil Procedure. These amendments fostered unbiased expert evidence and effectively precluded meetings between experts and lawyers to shape expert reports and opinions.
History of the Proceedings
This decision arises in the context of a medical malpractice
action, in which the issue was whether the defendant physician, Dr.
Getahun, had met the requisite standard of care in his treatment of
his patient, Moore. The trial judge found Dr. Getahun had breached
the standard of care expected of a reasonable orthopaedic surgeon.
The trial judge took issue with the defendant's medical expert,
concluding that the practice of reviewing and commenting on draft
expert reports ought to stop and that discussions or meetings
between counsel and an expert to review and shape a draft expert
report are no longer acceptable.
In this decision, the Court concluded that the trial judge erred in holding that it was unacceptable for counsel to review and discuss the draft expert reports. The Court also found that the trial judge further erred in using the written expert reports that were neither entered into evidence, nor the subject of cross-examination, to contradict and discredit aspects of the viva voce evidence of the appellant's expert witnesses.
The Court did conclude, however, that these errors did not affect the outcome and that no substantial wrong or miscarriage of justice flowed from the errors. As such, the Court would not be justified in ordering a new trial and the appeal was dismissed.
It is Not Inappropriate for Counsel to Review Draft Expert Reports
In disagreeing with the trial judge, the Court stated that the
amendments to Rule 53.03 did not create changes in the role of
expert witnesses but rather reinforced the basic common law
principles regarding independence and objectivity in expert
It was further emphasized that prohibiting undocumented discussions between counsel and expert witnesses or requiring that disclosure of all written communications be produced, is unsupported by any existing authority.
The Court was very mindful of the reaction of the legal profession to the trial judge's ruling. Just as lawyers and judges need the input of experts, expert witnesses equally need the assistance of lawyers in framing their reports in a way that is comprehensible and adequately addresses the key issues in the litigation. The Court concluded that from a practical standpoint, "leaving the expert witness entirely to his or her own devices, or requiring all changes to be documented in a formalized written exchange, would result in increased delay and cost in a regime already struggling to deliver justice in a timely and efficient manner."
Consultations Regarding Draft Reports Should Not Be Automatically Disclosed
In turning to the issue of the extent to which consultations
between counsel and expert witnesses need to be documented and
disclosed to an opposing party, the Court took a very practical
approach. As these discussions attract the protection of litigation
privilege, making such discussions and drafts subject to disclosure
would, in the Court's view, discourage parties reducing
preliminary or tentative views to writing and ultimately, lead to
unbalanced reports.
Of course there will be the exceptional cases where a party can show reasonable grounds to suspect that counsel communicated with an expert witness in a manner likely to interfere with the witness' duties of independence. However, unless a factual foundation to support such allegations can be found, the Court makes it clear in this decision that a party should not be allowed to demand production of draft reports or notes of interactions between counsel and an expert witness.
In a day and age where expert evidence is a significant aspect of civil litigation and has become even more prevalent with the evolution of science and technology, this issue is now, more than ever, at the forefront of civil justice reform.
This decision provides clarity in respect of a vexing issue which has been the subject of conflicting authorities. It is safe to say that the Court of Appeal has restored both logic and practicality to the use of experts in Ontario.

HATTIESBURG, MS (WDAM) - A Mississippi woman has become the third person to die after being struck by a drunk driver in Austin last Thursday.
Pass Christian native Sandy Le was pronounced dead Monday at the University Medical Center Brackenridge.
"There was a drunk driver that crashed into a music festival in Austin, Texas," said Sandy Le's brother-in-law Stuart Gates. "She had been on life support, been in critical condition and we wound up losing her this morning."
According to Gates, Le was a former student at the University of Southern Mississippi and the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science. Gates said Le was living in Austin and wanted to get her residency there and go back to school.
"She was just awesomely quirky," said Gates. "Very compassionate and one of those that in twenty six years probably got more out of life than any of us will."
Gates says losing Sandy Le only adds on to the several tragedies the family has been through in the last few years. He said the family lost their house in Katrina and their shrimping business was also affected by the BP Oil Spill. Aside from that, Le's uncle disappeared last July from his dive boat and was never found.
In order to help Le's family out with medical and funeral expenses a fund has been set up at Fundly.com. If you go the page, make sure to search for "assistance for Sandy Le".
"It's not just a donation page," said Stuart. "We realize not everybody can do that. You can literally go on this page and just click a support button and you don't think it means a lot but they've been following and they know, and it means the world."
Family of Sandy Le passed a message along with Stuart and asks that everyone pray for the other families and the other victims.
Stuart said the funeral has not been scheduled yet, but he said it will likely be in Pass Christian on Saturday.

New Albums on Jaunted Haunts Press08 November 2010
Jaunted Haunts Press releases 4 new albums this month. Two from lo-fi-fuzz-master Ampersand. One from improvisational trio Benguela and a reissue of Givan Lötz' Easy Now.
Jaunted Haunts Press was founded in 2008 by Righard Kapp, in an effort to formalise the output of his \/#/ cd-r imprint, which in itself was a continuation of where his original One Minute Trolley Dash label left off. Within three years the label's output has grown to 5 albums, all of which have received considerable acclaim from respected writers such as Richard Haslop and Lloyd Gedye.
The label aims to release music that will stand the test of time, from singular artists who dare to follow their own creative path. Physical releases are packaged in limited edition silkscreened sleeves, while as of late the music is also available in digital format, not so limited edition.

When former actor Ronald Reagan announced he was going to cut federal funding for cultural programs by 50 percent, dancers stumbled, writers snapped their pencils, and potters kicked their kilns.
But arts supporters' cries of "crisis, their envisioning of darkened playhouses and muted poets across the land, may have been premature.
Congress is moving toward a restoration of funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities. And even if the recent rapid rise in government art patronage is slowed in the name of austerity, the Reagans (Nancy Reagan is particularly interested in the subject) have plans for some new ways to officially promote cultural advancement.
The White House Task Force on the Arts and Humanities held its first meeting recently, an impressive gathering of performers, intellectuals, corporate executives, and professional arts promoters. This was not a group, as co-chairman Charlton Heston said, to preside over the demise of federal arts support. Not with New York City Opera general director Beverly Sills, Librarian of Congress Daniel Boorstin, and Kimbal Art Museum director Edmund Pillsbury among its 36 members.
The group's broad mandate is to find ways of encouraging greater private support for the arts and humanities (individual as well as corporate) and to explore how the federal government can play a more effective, if less direct, role in stimulating such support. It is to report back to the President by Sept. 30.
A number of ideas are being considered. These include changing tax law to encourage more giving by corporations and individuals (perhaps through an income tax form checkoff for cultural contributions), and a public arts and humanities corporation similar to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Such a corporation, some think, would make the federal involvement a little less bureaucratic, a little more independent.
The Reagans intend not only to attend many cultural events but also to invite a wide range of performers and groups to the White House.
"The interest is in showcasing all sorts of talent and not just old, established, famous names," says White House arts adviser Aram Bakshian Jr. "This would involve things such as encouraging young talent, spotlighting young talent . . . having a wide range of talent here for events, a large troupe, a small troupe, a regional troupe."
On Capitol Hill, a key House appropriations subcommittee recently voted to allot the national endowments for arts and humanities 90 percent of their projected 1982 funding levels (compared with 50 percent Mr. Reagan has called for). The Congressional Arts Caucus, headed by a former big-band leader, Rep. Fred Richmond (D) of New York, now has more than 140 members. LAwmakers have been inundated with pleas for support from artists, performers, museum curators, and the like.
How future arts and humanities budgets are shaped remains to be worked out between the more-friendly House and dominant Republicans in the Senate.
In any case, the Reagan administration wants to bring its own philosophy to how the federal government approaches cultural matters.
In addressing the arts and humanities task force, the President reminded members that the establishment French Academy had turned up its collective nose at the work of impressionist painters.
"The main feeling is, we don't want a Washington- dominated . . . set of cultural standards," Bakshian said in a later interview. "Should the government be in a position of saying what is and isn't approved culture?"
The White House arts adviser points out that funding for the endowments has increased more rapidly than general federal spending in recent years. A top official with one of the national endowments concedes that "they grew faster than good management would permit."
Bakshian (an amiable young man who has written a German-language book on Robert Stolz, Austria's last waltz and operetta master), feels thare has been a general blossoming of the arts in the United States in recent years, independent of the increased federal involvement. He disagrees with those who say that increased corporate giving has been stimulated principally by federal grants.
He notes that only 26 percent of American corporations make charitable contributions, and fewer still (6 percent) give the maximum that is tax-deductible. It is this reservoir that President Reagan -- because of his background as a performer and close ties with big business -- hopes to tap.
"Culture is not going to die in this country, no matter what we do," says Bakshian. "The great geniuses and also the great periods of collective vitality were there before there was any federal role, so I'm not worried about the future of the arts."

text: Home > Overseas Lebanon accuses Saudi Arabia of holding its PM hostage Lisa Barrington and Angus McDowall, Reuters Posted at Nov 16 2017 03:12 AM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn A poster depicting Saad al-Hariri, who has resigned as Lebanon's prime minister, is seen in Beirut, Lebanon this week. Hariri travelled to Riyadh on November 3 before abruptly resigning in a televised statement a day later. Jamal Saidi, Reuters BEIRUT—France said on Wednesday that Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri, who Lebanon's president says is being held hostage by Saudi Arabia, will visit France with his family in coming days. Hariri travelled to Riyadh on November 3 before abruptly resigning in a televised statement a day later. He has stayed in Riyadh and top Lebanese officials and senior politicians close to Hariri have told Reuters he was forced to quit. Hariri and Saudi Arabia have both denied he is being held in Riyadh or was coerced to resign. Hariri has said he will return to Lebanon in the next few days to formally submit his resignation. The crisis has thrust Lebanon onto the frontline of a Middle East contest for power pitting a Saudi-led bloc against Iran and its allies, including the Lebanese Shi'ite group Hezbollah. French President Emmanuel Macron said in a statement that he had invited Hariri to France after speaking to him and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The invitation is to visit for a few days and is not an offer of political exile, Macron said, speaking in Germany. "We will not accept (Hariri) remaining a hostage whose reason for detention we do not know," Lebanese President Michel Aoun said in a statement. Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil, the head of Aoun's political party, said the situation was "not normal" but that Beirut wanted "good relations" with Riyadh. Aoun has said he will not accept Hariri's resignation until he returns to Lebanon to formally tender it and explain his reasons, which Hariri has said he will do in the coming days. Saudi Arabia has long been considered Hariri's main external supporter. Aoun is a political ally of Lebanon's Hezbollah, a powerful Shi'ite Muslim group with close ties to Iran. Lebanon's coalition government was formed last year through a political deal that made Aoun president, Hariri prime minister, and included members of Hezbollah in the cabinet. Saudi Arabia last week accused Lebanon of having declared war on it because of Hezbollah's role in other Arab countries. It regards Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. Riyadh's main ally, the United States, has struck a different tone, continuing its support for Lebanon including military aid. The European Union has also repeatedly stated its support for Lebanon, which hosts 1.5 million Syrian refugees. In an interview on Sunday night with a television station he owns, Hariri warned of economic sanctions against Lebanon and of a threat to the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Lebanese workers living in Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies. "Nothing justifies Hariri's lack of return for 12 days. We therefore consider him detained," Aoun said. He added that Lebanon had confirmed that Hariri's family were under detention in their house in Saudi Arabia and were searched whenever they entered or left it. Speaking in Italy, Foreign Minister Bassil said: "We will continue all steps...for this problem to be solved in a brotherly way through good relations that we want to have with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia." He added, however: "If Saudi Arabia has a problem with Iran or with Hezbollah, they have to solve it with Iran, not with Lebanon and not with all the Lebanese." "PERFECTLY FINE" Hariri wrote on Twitter that he was "perfectly fine" and would return, "God willing, to dear Lebanon as I promised". On Wednesday he said he would return in a couple of days but that his family was staying in Saudi Arabia, calling it "their country". Hariri holds Saudi nationality and his family fortune is based on the construction company - Saudi Oger - built by his father Rafik al-Hariri, who served twice as Lebanese prime minister and was assassinated in 2005. Okab Sakr, a member of parliament for Hariri's Future Movement, told Reuters he had spoken on Wednesday to Hariri and that he told him neither he nor his family were being held. On Tuesday, European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said after meeting Bassil in Paris that she expected Hariri and his family to return to Lebanon soon. Sources from across Lebanon's political spectrum have said Hariri struck a more compromising tone in his Sunday interview than in his resignation statement, when he bitterly attacked Iran and Hezbollah. The sources said this represented a retreat by Riyadh attributable to Western pressure. On Wednesday, Aoun said Riyadh had not responded to Arab countries who tried to secure Hariri's return so he had asked the international community to help. French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian arrives in Riyadh late on Wednesday and is due to discuss Lebanon with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and meet Hariri on Thursday, a French diplomatic source said. France has close relations with Lebanon, which was under French control between the world wars, and with Hariri, who has a home in France and spent several years in the country.

I am using a 10 Channel I/O Edirol UA 101 Audio Interface with ASIO drivers.I can get the Interface and set the Driver with setDriver and setOutput.
1.) But how would I enumerate the number of available output channels ? I assumes getHardwareChannels would do the trick but I get 0 channels returned.
2.) Any short code sample how to play a sound in a selected channel of these 10. Is it possible with FMOD ex ?
Thanks in advance. Jakob
- _yak asked 11 years ago
Nevermind. I found the correct way to work with multichannel ASIO devices like my EDIROL UA 101 in [url=http://www.fmod.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8015&highlight=asio:3fjcav4i]this post[/url:3fjcav4i].
Additionally I had the problem that an old ASIO driver blocked the newer one and only allowed 2 instead of the 10 output channels. After deleting the old driver from registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASIO everything works fine now.
Hi _yak,
I am quite surprised to see you've found a solution to enumerate the numbers of channels of ASIO sound cards. I wasn't able to do this correctly. Therefore I ended up to implement the ASIO stuff by my own If you have a good solution could you please post it here?
Hi slajar
Unfortunately I haven't found a solution to enumerate all available Asio devices since imho FMOD Ex just takes the first available device it finds. I dont know if there is a way to select another one.If the first device is the one you want you can get number of I/O ports with System::getSoftwareFormat(). I found some related info in [url=http://www.fmod.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=19042&sid=1272b1c78b121c28cde82f6a70022dbe:1pc9ss8m]this post[/url:1pc9ss8m]
However there is another solution. For enumeration you could use [url=http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/rtaudio/:1pc9ss8m]rtAudio[/url:1pc9ss8m]to just enumerate ASIO devices and ports.
hth. Jakob
Hi jakob,
well since I do direct ASIO access it works for me right now. Actually, it's not really satisfying for me since IMHO an audio abstraction API should provide all kinds of access without doing some deeper accesses.

Prosecutors on Monday announced that four men have been charged in the slayings of a woman and two children more than two years ago in south suburban Chicago.
Prosecutors on Monday announced that four men have been charged in the slayings of a woman and two children more than two years ago in south suburban Chicago.
Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez announced charges Monday against 29-year-old Darryl Lloyd, 25-year-old Faheem Norwood, 23-year-old Dejuan Crockett and 29-year-old Brandon Griffin. They were charged in the Oct. 24, 2010, shooting deaths of 28-year-old Donysha Stovall, 16-year-old Shaquill Davis, 10-year-old Clarisma Torry and the attempted murder of a 4-year-old child.
Lloyd appeared in bond court in Markham on Monday where he was denied bond. The others had been charged previously and also had been denied bond.
Prosecutors said three of the men forced their way inside Stovall's Harvey apartment and shot the victims while Griffin remained in the car. The men took a flat screen TV when they didn't find the money or drugs they thought would be inside, according to prosecutors.
Stovall was shot multiple times as she sat on a living room couch. The 16-year-old, a son of Stovall's boyfriend, was found shot once in the back of the head on the floor of the shower. Stovall's 10-year-old daughter was shot in a bedroom. Stovall's 4-year-old son, Nate Davis, was shot multiple times but survived.
"This was an extremely heinous and senseless crime that took the lives of this young mother and her children," Alvarez said in a statement. "We are very pleased that we have been able to bring charges in this case and hopefully some measure of justice for these victims."
About 10 hours after the killings, the Harvey Police Department arrested the four defendants for an unrelated vehicle hijacking. Three of the four are in prison for that crime and the fourth is awaiting trial. The Cook County public defender's office represented the men at their bond hearings.

A Fullerton, California police officer acquitted on manslaughter charges for the fatal beating of a homeless schizophrenic man suggested he may sue his department to reclaim his job, The Orange County Register reported on Wednesday.
"I was wrongfully terminated," Officer Jay Cicinelli told the Register. "How do you argue with a jury of 12 who all agree on the same thing? They sat through the whole trial and heard all the facts."
Cicinelli was fired in July 2012, about a year after the encounter between Cicinelli and four other officers and 37-year-old Kelly Thomas. Cicinelli was acquitted on Monday on charges of involuntary manslaughter and excessive force. Another officer, Manuel Ramos, was found not guilty on charges of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. Ramos was also fired from the department after being charged.
During the trial, prosecutors played security camera footage showing Cicinelli repeatedly hitting Thomas in the face with the butt of his Taser while Ramos restrained Thomas during the July 5, 2011 incident. Ramos also threatened to attack Thomas further. Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas also argued that Thomas can be heard saying, "Dad, help me, they're killing me" 31 times in the video, and "Sir, please" more than 20 times.
"I thought that these two police officers crossed the line to the extent that they should be prosecuted and convicted," Rackauckas told KPCC-FM on Tuesday. "But I never had any illusions about the difficulty in trying the case and convincing a jury."
The Los Angeles Times reported that the verdict was quickly criticized by both local activists and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which said in a statement that the verdict should spur Fullerton residents to call for the formation of an independent citizens' review board.
Thomas' father, Ron Thomas, told the Times he plans to bring a civil lawsuit against Cicinelli and Ramos.
"I look at this like a prize fight," Thomas said. "It's not over, we still have several rounds to go."
Cicinelli's attorney, Michael Schwartz, told the Register he will continue to represent him as he seeks to reclaim his job.
"His identity of being a human being is totally wrapped up in being a police officer," Schwartz said of his client.

Title: Survey of Massive Galaxy Pairs in Local Groups
Abstract: Major gas-poor (so-called 'dry') mergers are postulated to be a central mechanism in explaining the assembly of giant ellipticals. Using the SDSS Group Catalogue, we isolated a \it unique sample of 50 major pairs of galaxies in close projection, each with combined mass in excess of 10^11 M_\odot and belonging to a common host group. Eleven of these systems appear to be an ongoing merger, yet, the signatures of such interactions are fleeting and these identifications are near the limit of detection with the SDSS. Here we propose deep V- band imaging of this complete and volume-limited sample of massive co- group pairs with Mini-Mosaic on the 3.5-meter WIYN. Observations that are \it five times deeper than the SDSS will provide conclusive evidence for the important nature of the 11 previously identified interactions, and constrain the \it frequency of bonafide dry mergers among close projected pairs of massive galaxies as a function of group mass.

Description of Event: Guys and Dolls is a musical romantic comedy involving the unlikeliest of Manhattan pairings: a high-rolling gambler and a puritanical missionary, a showgirl dreaming of the straight-and-narrow and a crap game manager who is anything but. Set in the Manhattan of Damon Runyon's short stories, Guys and Dolls tells of con-man Nathan Detroit's efforts to find new life for his illegal, but notorious, crap game. When their trusty venue is discovered by the police, Nathan has to find a new home for his crap game quickly – but he doesn't have the dough to secure the one location he finds. Enter Sky Masterson, a high-rolling gambler willing to take on any honest bet with a high enough reward attached. Nathan bets Sky that he can't take the "doll" of Nathan's choosing to Havana, Cuba, with him on a date. When Sky agrees to the bet, Nathan chooses uptight Evangelist Sergeant Sarah Brown, head of Broadway's Save-a-Soul Mission. Sky thinks he's been duped, but he's in for even more of a surprise when his efforts to woo Sarah are so successful that he falls in love with her himself! Guys and Dolls takes us from the bustle of Times Square to the dance clubs of Havana and the sewers of New York City as it demonstrates the great lengths to which a guy will go when he truly falls in love with a "doll." Guys and Dolls features some of Frank Loesser's most memorable tunes, including the hilarious "Adelaide's Lament," the romantic "I've Never Been in Love Before," the exuberant "If I Were a Bell," and the classic "Luck Be a Lady." .
