CAPE NEDDICK — Virginia "Ginny" Marilyn Warner, 79, passed away Sunday, Feb. 24, 2013 at Portsmouth Regional Hospital after a brief illness.
CAPE NEDDICK — Virginia "Ginny" Marilyn Warner, 79, passed away Sunday, Feb. 24, 2013 at Portsmouth Regional Hospital after a brief illness.
Ginny was born March 12, 1933, in Fitchburg, Mass., the daughter of the late Alice G. (Webber) Lawrence and Robert F. Lawrence. She grew up on Logging Road in Cape Neddick, Maine. She graduated from York High School in 1950 and earned an associate's degree in liberal arts from Colby-Sawyer College in 1952. Upon graduation, she worked as a dental assistant for Dr. Filson in Ogunquit.
On Feb. 27, 1954, she married the love of her life, Henry F. Warner Jr. They resided on Logging Road for most of their lives. While raising a family, Ginny was active both in the community and in her church; she worked as a teacher's aide and also volunteered for many years at York Hospital.
As a lifelong member of Cape Neddick Baptist Church, Ginny served as Christian education chairperson, Sunday School superintendent, missions advocate, Sunday School teacher, and Vacation Bible School director and teacher. She belonged to American Baptist Women, Children's Message, and The Prayer Chain, and enjoyed singing in the choir. On three occasions, she served on the Pastoral Search Committee. For several years Ginny organized the America for Christ Walkathon.
Ginny was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She enjoyed being with her family and friends. She and Henry loved spending time at their camp on Brassua Lake. Her favorite pastime was searching for moose, deer, loons and other wildlife.
Throughout the years, Ginny was involved in the activities of her children and grandchildren; she attended many of their sporting and school-related events.
She is survived by her husband, Henry F. Warner Jr.; son Henry "Mickey" F. Warner III and his wife, Ginny, and her children William Woodward and Jonathan Woodward and his wife, Sarah, and their children, Lauren and Jason; son Robert F. Warner and his wife, Andrea, and their sons Eric and Wesley; and son Ronald C. Warner and his wife, Kirsten, and their two children, Lindsay and Jonathan; and several cousins.
The family would like to thank the staff of Durgin Pines for providing excellent care.
Calling hours for Ginny will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 28, in Lucas & Eaton Funeral Home, 91 Long Sands Road, York. A funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 2, in Cape Neddick Baptist Church, 34 River Road, Cape Neddick. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Cape Neddick Baptist Church or York Hospital. Visit www.lucaseatonfuneralhome.com.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the best PC RPGs of all time, so the thought of modding it sometimes feels like garnishing a kingly steak with corner store-grade sauce. But the best Witcher 3 mods really do make for an even better game—or at least a more convenient or different game, which is welcome in your second or third adventure through the Northern Realms.
Below you'll find our list of the best mods for The Witcher 3, updated for a new playthrough in 2019 or beyond. The best Witcher 3 mods cover everything from texture overhauls to auto looting and the ability to frolic through shallow water. Unless otherwise noted, all of these mods should work with the last Witcher 3 patch, version 1.31.
Table of contents
Menu and travel
Gear and trade
Graphics and camera changes
Overhaul mods
Debug Console Enabler
If you're going to be tinkering around with a lot of mods, you're going to need the god-like powers of the debug console behind you. This little mod unlocks the debug console, letting you use console commands to change settings, spawn enemies, fix broken things, etc.
Nexus Mod Manager
All of the Witcher mods live on Nexus, and the Nexus Mod Manager is the single best way to wrangle all the competing and conflicting changes that mods might be bringing to your game. While you're installing mods, pay attention to warnings about conflicts and load orders. If you do see a specific load order, the NMM is where you go to make that change. Otherwise incompatible mods could work perfectly if you load one before the other.
If you are installing a lot of mods, do it just like your mother taught you: go slow, take it easy, and say your prayers.
Mod Merger
Did you know that there's a "mod limit"? It was news to us. If you are trying to install more mods than the game wants to allow, the Mod Merger can help. The process will take about 15 minutes, but basically the merger will combine your compatible mods into a single customized bundle just for you. Too many mods? No no, sir, as you can see, I am installing only one enormous mod.
As above, be careful with this one. Only spend the time to merge mods you know work well together, otherwise you'll end up doing the whole process over and over.
Menu and travel
Mods that expedite your journey, clean up your UI and make Dandelion shut the hell up.
Fast Travel from Anywhere
Geralt's world already has dozens of signposts for fast travel, but sometimes you'll still find yourself spending ages coaxing Roach across countryside for the nearest one. If you're not down for that sometimes humdrum bit of roleplay, this mod lets you teleport to any fast travel point from anywhere, much in the style of Skyrim. If that doesn't sound fun to you, let us suggest the exact opposite: this mod will cancel all fast travel routes, except for a few that hop between regions.
Use your new fast travel abilities with caution and don't get too hasty: overriding the existing system reportedly causes problems with a tiny number of quests. This one isn't being updated anymore, so it does have some issues with newer mods. When all else fails, try to resolve conflicts with the mod merger.
All Quest Objectives on Map
While it's nice that the map isn't thickly cluttered with icons like some sort of Ubisoft-produced hellscape, trying to remember where the herbalist is can be pretty annoying. This mod adds every map icon to the map all the time, including nearby merchants and any quest objective for any quest in your journal. If it's too much, you can always customize and hide any markers you don't need.
Additional Stash Locations
Your Stash is accessible from a few places around the world, but this mod asks: Why not more? Installing this will add eight new stash locations and relocate two of the standard stash locations to more convenient areas. This is especially handy if you're using a realism mod that adds carry weight to money.
Preparations Mod
One of the best parts of the early Witcher game is feeling like you need to do your homework before any big contract. You brew up Specter oil for the first time and make sure you're stocked up on Moon dust, you meditate, and you sharpen your silver sword.
This mod recaptures some of that old magic by making meditation a more meaningful process. You need to meditate to spend points in your skill tree, refill alchemical items and oils, and repair items. By default, eating and drinking during combat isn't allowed with this mod, so you really need to make sure you're all set before the Noonwraith hits the windmill.
Friendly Meditation
If Preparations Mod sounds like more trouble than fun, check out Friendly Meditation. You still get all the potion refilling benefits of vanilla meditation, but you don't have to look at a boring ol' menu. Instead, the HUD falls away and you get a nice view of the clouds zipping past, the stars rotating, and the sun rising over the mountains.
Sometimes, a Witcher just needs to take a damn minute, you know? Just don't forget the Unification patch on this one.
Friendly HUD
The Witcher 3's UI can feel a bit cluttered, but turning parts of it off can make the game overly difficult. This mod has several features, available in separate downloads if you only want one or two, that improve the on-screen issues. From holding a key down to enter meditation without using the menu, to hiding quest markers unless you're using your Witcher sense, plus HUD elements that can individually be toggled on and off without having to open your menu, and lots more.
Lamp on Player's Boat
Is it a big deal? No. But it sure does look nice. This mod adds a little hanging lamp to your little sailboat. Adorable. Look at that Witcher go.
Disable Storybook Videos
Some of us—we're not naming names or anything—would be happy to feed Dandelion and his stupid mouth into a woodchipper. Since there are no woodchippers in the Northern Kingdoms, this mod that disables those storybook narration videos that you have to listen to over and over again will have to do.
Jump in Shallow Water
Oh my god, finally.

- "They were standing in a large, circular room. Everything in here was black including the floor and ceiling -- identical, unmarked, handle-less black doors were set at intervals all around the black walls, interspered with branches of candles whose flames burned blue, their cool, shimmering light reflected in the sining marble floor so that it looked as so there as dark water underfoot."
- —Description[src]
The Room of Doors[1] is a circular room in the Department of Mysteries. It is located on the ninth level of the Ministry of Magic in Whitehall, London. Many doors lead off of this room to other places within the Department.
DescriptionThis chamber is a large, circular room where everything is black. There are identical, unmarked, handle-less black doors set at intervals around in the walls. It has a highly polished black floor that looks almost like standing water and twelve handleless doors. Whenever a door closes, the walls rotate, making it impossible to determine which door is which.
The room is dimly lit by blue flamed branches of candles that hang on the walls. Whenever one of its doors is shut, the room's walls rotate, disorienting its occupants for several seconds. This is presumably a security device to keep non-employees of the department from reaching a desired room. The room responds to a verbal request for an exit by opening the correct door. There are twelve doors leading off the Entrance Room. The known doors leading into other Chambers are the following:
- Brain Room
- Death Chamber
- Space Chamber
- Love Chamber (The Ever-Locked Room)
- Time Chamber (one takes a door in here to the Hall of Prophecy)
- Door leading back to the level nine corridor
Early History
Not much is known about this room before 1996, but it presumably where theUnspeakables (employees of the Department of Mysteries) would enter before entering the room in which they worked.
Search for Sirius
In 1996, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron and Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, and Luna Lovegood arrived in the Department of Mysteries in search of Sirius Black. They entered a door at the end of the corridor Harry had been dreaming about for months, and the six Dumbledore's Army found themselves in the Department of Mysteries's entrance room, a circular room with twelve identical doors. Harry was unsure of which door to choose, and as soon as the door behind them closed, the walls of the room rotated. When the doors came to a standstill, the group entered through one them, but this turned out to be the Brain Room, a room with a large tank full of floating brains, and so they went back into the Entrance Room.
- "She drew with her wand in midair and a fiery X appeared on the door. No sooner had the door clicked shut behind them than there was a great rumbling, and once again the wall began to revolve very fast, but now there was a great red-gold blur in amongst the fait blue, and when all became still again, the fiery cross still burned, showing the door they had already tried"
- —Hermione Granger's clever idea to use the Flagrate spell[src]
The next doorway refused to open; Harry used Sirius' knife that will "open any door", but the door remained shut and the knife's blade melted away. Going through the next door they choose, Harry recognised the sparkling, shimmering light from his dreams: the Time Chamber. Passing through this room, they reached the huge chamber containing the shelves loaded with glass orbs that Harry recognised from his dream: the Hall of Prophecy. The students are ambushed by Death Eaters in this room, and ended up fleeing through multiple chambers in the Department.
Battle of the Department of Mysteries
- "Very good, Potter. Now tun around, nice and slowly, and give that to me"
- —Lucius Malfoy announces his presence as the Death Eaters ambush the students[src]
- "He wrenched upon the door into the circular black hall and saw Bellatrix disappearing through a door on the other side of the room -- beyond her was the corridor leading back to the lifts. He ran, but she had slammed the door behind her and the walls had begun to rotate again. Once more he was surrounded by streaks of blue light from the whirling candelabra. "Where's the exit?" he shouted desperately, as the wall rumbled to a halt again. "Where's the way out?" The room seemed to have been waiting for him to ask. The door right behind him flew open, and the corridor toward the lifts stretched ahead of him, torch-lit and empty. He ran..."
- —Harry pursuing Bellatrix through the Department of Mysteries[src]
Enraged because Bellatrix killed his godfather, he ran after her through the Brain Room, ducking her curses. Bellatrix runs through the circular chamber into the hallway with the lifts. Harry follows, but the door slams behind her and the room's walls are already spinning. In desperation, he asked the room "Where's the way out?" and a door behind Harry pops open, revealing the hallway. Hearing a lift clattering upwards, Harry presses a call button for another lift. He then took a lift to the Atrium and witnessed the Duel in the Ministry Atrium between Lord Voldemort and Albus Dumbledore themselves.

- The Entrance Room, as well as the Brain Room, the Love Chamber, the Space Chamber, and the Time Chamber, were omitted from the film version.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. --- Fans who packed Eblen Center Friday evening for the Tennessee Tech volleyball team's match against Southeast Missouri were treated to a competitive four-set affair that ultimately went the way of the Redhawks.
After a pair of decisive sets from both teams, the Golden Eagles and Redhawks hunkered down for a couple of competitive sets that went right down to the wire.
The third set featured five lead changed and eight instances when the score was tied. With the score tied at 16, the Redhawks were able to build a five-point lead at 23-18, only to see the Golden Eagles fly back into it as they pulled within one at 24-23. Southeast Missouri was able to weather the storm as the Redhawks took the set 25-23.
As in the third set, the fourth frame featured several lead changes, as both teams were knotted up at 16 once again. SEMO proceeded to go on a 9-6 run to finish the set with a 25-22 victory to seal the match.
Sophomore Natalie Penrod led the Golden Eagle offense with 14 kills, while junior Kelsey Gray tallied 11 kills and a team-leading five total blocks. Freshman Sarah Teel added nine kills and nine digs of her own, while sophomore Allison May recorded a team-high 27 digs.
Colleen Yarber paced the Redhawk offense with a match-high 16 kills, while Julie Shives dished out a match-high 35 assists. Berkley Idel anchored the SEMO defense with a total of 28 digs.
The Golden Eagles (3-20, 2-11 OVC) wrap up their homestand Saturday, as they host the Murray State Racers, at 2 p.m.

Matthew Cardona might not ring any bells, especially in WWE. You probably know him better as his ring name of Zack Ryder – the WWE Superstar and WWE Internet Champion from Long Island.
Things didn't always go Zack's way with WWE, and he was edged out of competition early on in his career. He lost his U.S. title almost immediately and never really had the chance to develop his character. Rumors began to circulate that he was on his way out. So he took matters into his own hands, at the risk of upsetting the WWE organization, and started his own YouTube web series called Z! True Long Island Story in February 2011. The web show's popularity grew quickly and led to more TV appearances and a bigger name for Ryder. To date, the show has over 12 million viewers. Zack became the self-proclaimed WWE Internet Champion, and although it's not an official title recognized by WWE, the branding stuck. His popularity has increased with his effective use of social media. He has amassed over 1,000,000 followers on Twitter, over 435,000 Facebook "likes", and over 120,000 YouTube subscribers. He was featured on Sports Illustrated's list of the 100 most influential social media users in sports. But how did it all begin? And what advice does he give to others who dream of being a WWE Superstar someday?
I polled some WWE fans (and a few diehard 12-year-olds named Cole, Jacob, and Will) to come up with a list of questions to ask this WWE Superstar about his unique journey from Long Island - to traveling the world with WWE.
WILL: Who or what inspired you to get into WWE?
ZR: I always wanted to be in the WWE for as long as I can remember. I was a little kid who always watched it on television, played with the action figures, played the video games and just never grew out of it. After high school, all my friends were trying to decide what they wanted to do when they grew up and I already knew I was going to be in the WWE. Everyone thought I was crazy until it actually happened.
COLE: How did you get started in WWE?
ZR: There was a wrestling school on Long Island where I'm from. I went there and started in September 2003. Three years later, there was a tryout application. I signed up for it and went to tryouts and got signed. After that, I was sent to Georgia and spent a year there learning the WWE way. A year after that, I got on TV. It sounds easy but it took a lot of hard work to get there.
JACOB: What message do you wish to convey to kids?
ZR: Follow your dreams. Never quit. Anything can happen if you set your sights on it and you work hard enough and are determined and dedicated enough. No one thought I would be a WWE superstar, but I knew I would be. I never gave up.
WARNER: So how does your Mom feel about it now? I'm a Mom and think I would still cringe every time someone beat up my baby.
ZR: She loves it. She has a huge Zack Ryder life size cut-out in her living room. She used to worry about me more, but she's used to it by now.
COLE: What sports did you play as a kid?
ZR: I played every sport, football, basketball, all of them. I wrestled in high school, but was never really that big in sports. The only thing I put my time and energy into was WWE. I wore the shirts. I watched the shows. When I was a kid, it wasn't cool to watch wrestling, but I didn't care. I lost friends over it. I was so into it. I tried to do my own thing no matter what and was always a fan of WWE.
WARNER: What's the greatest lesson you've learned so far in the business?
ZR: Never give up. Be persistent. There were times where people said I was never supposed to be a superstar. I was only supposed to be at the bottom of the card. I started my own YouTube show called Z! True Long Island Story - and everyone started going crazy on Facebook and Twitter. WWE didn't even recognize me. People thought I was crazy for doing it and that I would get in trouble or get fired, but I didn't care. I knew I had to fight for a spot. I knew I was going to be a superstar and I just kept doing it. I got the fans behind me and they helped me get noticed.
Check the show out here:
WARNER: It appears that when you didn't get where you wanted to be in WWE, you took matters in your own hands and started your own web series to build your own brand. You seem to be a fighter in real life. How has being a cancer survivor helped you become a WWE Superstar?
ZR: Whoa, I didn't think anyone knew about that. When I was a kid, I was really sick. The only thing driving me to keep pushing forward was the thought that I have to get stronger so that I can get to the WWE. I was watching wrestling on TV. I was playing the games. I had a lot of downtime, so it gave me a chance to think about it even more and helped me get through it.
JACOB: Are you affiliated with a charity?
ZR: I work with Make a Wish Foundation through WWE. It's sad to see kids in that position who are sick, but cool to be able to see them smile when we can give them an autograph and a picture.
WILL: What is the hardest part of being a WWE Superstar?
ZR: The travel. I'm only home one day a week. I don't have much time at home. Luckily I don't have a wife and kids, it's just me. I don't know how people do it with a family because the schedule is crazy.
WARNER: How did you use social media to gain popularity?
ZR: I got in WWE in 2007 and was just a guy on the show without a big following. That's not where I wanted to be. I wanted to be at the top. Every time they made action figures, they didn't make one of me. It aggravated me. The only way it was going to change is if I did it myself. All my friends were using social media for their stuff, so I took a shot at it and it paid off.
WARNER: How do you get along with the other guys? Is it hard to fight in the ring, and then travel on the road with them all the time?
ZR: It's like any job. You get along with some people and others you don't.
JACOB: Who is your favorite person to work with or wrestle with?
ZR: My favorite Superstar to get in the ring with is Dolph Ziggler. We have a lot of fun and a lot of chemistry. It's like wrestling your little brother when you were a kid. You still love each other, but you go at it. In the ring, it's just business.
COLE: What was your most memorable match?
ZR: It was against Dolph Ziggler at TLC 2011, when I won the United States Championship. My Dad was in the first couple rows and I was able to see him right after the show.
COLE: What would be your dream fight?
ZR: Myself against John Cena. John Cena is the man with WWE. He is the poster boy of WWE. To be in the ring with him, it just elevates you. That would be my favorite.
WARNER: How did you become the WWE Internet Champion?
ZR: It's not really a real championship. I just made it up (laughs). It started out as a joke and I took my brother's toy title belts they sell at the store and put stickers on it that said Internet Champion. Then I spent a lot of money and designed a real championship belt. It's pretty cool. WWE doesn't really recognize the title, but it's on the video games and my action figure comes with the T-shirt, so it's pretty real to me.
WARNER: Do you think they will recognize it with a match and pair you up with someone for the internet championship?
ZR: So far they haven't, but I never say never when it comes to WWE. It would be cool if they did.
WARNER: What inspires you?
ZR: There are times when I'm down and I think about where I came from. This week I was in Turkey. I was thinking back to when I used to wrestle with giant stuffed animals as a kid in my Mom's bedroom. And now here I am wrestling in the WWE in real life, in Turkey, with Mark Henry - one of my heroes. I used to have his action figures and now I'm in a ring with him. Then I think that things aren't so bad. I'm definitely living the dream. I just take a step back and look at life. I might not always be where I want to be, or at the top, but I'm grateful for where I am.

Common Health Question
The length of time you're infectious for after having a viral infection depends on the type of virus involved. The infectious period often begins before you start to feel unwell or notice a rash.
The infectious periods for some common viral infections are described below.
The length of time that bronchitis is infectious varies, depending on its cause. In most cases, bronchitis is caused by the same viruses that cause the common cold or flu and you're likely to be infectious as long as you have cold or flu symptoms.
Chickenpox is infectious from about one to two days before the rash appears until all the blisters have fully crusted or scabbed over. This is usually five to six days after the start of the rash.
The common cold is infectious from a few days before your symptoms appear until all of the symptoms are gone. Most people will be infectious for around two weeks.
Symptoms are usually worse during the first two to three days and this is when you're most likely to spread the virus.
Flu is usually most infectious from the day your symptoms start and for a further three to seven days. Children and people with lowered immune systems may be infectious for a few days longer.
Glandular fever is infectious during the incubation period (the time between catching the virus and developing the symptoms). For glandular fever, this can be two to four weeks.
Some people have the virus in their saliva for a few months after recovering from glandular fever, and may continue to have the virus in their saliva on and off for years. However, glandular fever isn't very infectious and the length of time people remain infectious varies considerably.
Symptoms of measles appear around 10 days after you become infected. Measles is most infectious after the first symptoms appear and before the rash develops.
First symptoms of measles include:
Around two to four days later, a red-brown spotty rash develops that normally fades after about a week.
Mumps causes your salivary glands to swell. These glands are just below and in front of your ears. Mumps is most infectious from a few days before your glands swell until a few days afterwards.
Rubella is infectious for one week before the rash appears and for up to four days afterwards.
You should stay away from school or work for six days after the rash starts to avoid infecting others and try to avoid contact with pregnant women during this time.
Shingles is infectious from when the rash first appears until the last blister has scabbed over. This is usually after about 10-14 days.
Tonsillitis itself isn't contagious but the viruses that cause it are. The length of time you're infectious will depend on the virus. Read more on the causes of tonsillitis.

I guess if HP thinks its webOS tablets are going to be the month's best gadget porn, then this counts as foreplay: an oh-so-brief glimpse of the purported Palm slate peeking out from the shadows. Cheeky thing.
Of course, what we're seeing in this video from Palm's YouTube channel could be anything. But the accompanying text just happens to line up with next week's much-hyped tablet event :
Thing big. Think small. Think ahead. Think beyond. February 9th, 2011.
So what can we glean from our brief glimpse? Not much. Curves! Buttons (on the corners)! Black! And... well, that's it for now.
That's okay, HP. You can tease me all you want, just so long as the buildup lives up to next week's climax. [Palm]

Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Vol. 6, by Edward Gibbon, [1788], at sacred-texts.com
After his decease, the tedious and equal suspense of the conclave was fixed by the dexterity of the French faction. A specious offer was made and accepted, that, in the term of forty days, they would elect one of the three candidates who should be named by their opponents. The archbishop of Bourdeaux, a furious enemy of his king and country, was the first on the list; but his ambition was known; and his conscience obeyed the calls of fortune and the commands of a benefactor, who had been informed by a swift messenger that the choice of a pope was now in his hands. The terms were regulated in a private interview; and with such speed and secrecy was the business transacted, that the unanimous conclave applauded the elevation of Clement the Fifth. 79 The cardinals of both parties were soon astonished by a summons to attend him beyond the Alps; from whence, as they soon discovered, they must never hope to return. He was engaged, by promise and affection, to prefer the residence of France; and, after dragging his court through Poitou and Gascony, and devouring, by his expense, the cities and convents on the road, he finally reposed at Avignon, 80 which flourished above seventy years 81 the seat of the Roman pontiff and the metropolis of Christendom. By land, by sea, by the Rhone, the position of Avignon was on all sides accessible; the southern provinces of France do not yield to Italy itself; new palaces arose for the accommodation of the pope and cardinals; and the arts of luxury were soon attracted by the treasures of the church. They were already possessed of the adjacent territory, the Venaissin county, 82 a populous and fertile spot; and the sovereignty of Avignon was afterwards purchased from the youth and distress of Jane, the first queen of Naples and countess of Provence, for the inadequate price of fourscore thousand florins. 83 Under the shadow of a French monarchy, amidst an obedient people, the popes enjoyed an honorable and tranquil state, to which they long had been strangers: but Italy deplored their absence; and Rome, in solitude and poverty, might repent of the ungovernable freedom which had driven from the Vatican the successor of St. Peter. Her repentance was tardy and fruitless: after the death of the old members, the sacred college was filled with French cardinals, 84 who beheld Rome and Italy with abhorrence and contempt, and perpetuated a series of national, and even provincial, popes, attached by the most indissoluble ties to their native country.
The progress of industry had produced and enriched the Italian republics: the aera of their liberty is the most flourishing period of population and agriculture, of manufactures and commerce; and their mechanic labors were gradually refined into the arts of elegance and genius. But the position of Rome was less favorable, the territory less fruitful: the character of the inhabitants was debased by indolence and elated by pride; and they fondly conceived that the tribute of subjects must forever nourish the metropolis of the church and empire. This prejudice was encouraged in some degree by the resort of pilgrims to the shrines of the apostles; and the last legacy of the popes, the institution of the holy year, 85 was not less beneficial to the people than to the clergy. Since the loss of Palestine, the gift of plenary indulgences, which had been applied to the crusades, remained without an object; and the most valuable treasure of the church was sequestered above eight years from public circulation. A new channel was opened by the diligence of Boniface the Eighth, who reconciled the vices of ambition and avarice; and the pope had sufficient learning to recollect and revive the secular games which were celebrated in Rome at the conclusion of every century. To sound without danger the depth of popular credulity, a sermon was seasonably pronounced, a report was artfully scattered, some aged witnesses were produced; and on the first of January of the year thirteen hundred, the church of St. Peter was crowded with the faithful, who demanded the customary indulgence of the holy time. The pontiff, who watched and irritated their devout impatience, was soon persuaded by ancient testimony of the justice of their claim; and he proclaimed a plenary absolution to all Catholics who, in the course of that year, and at every similar period, should respectfully visit the apostolic churches of St. Peter and St. Paul. The welcome sound was propagated through Christendom; and at first from the nearest provinces of Italy, and at length from the remote kingdoms of Hungary and Britain, the highways were thronged with a swarm of pilgrims who sought to expiate their sins in a journey, however costly or laborious, which was exempt from the perils of military service. All exceptions of rank or sex, of age or infirmity, were forgotten in the common transport; and in the streets and churches many persons were trampled to death by the eagerness of devotion. The calculation of their numbers could not be easy nor accurate; and they have probably been magnified by a dexterous clergy, well apprised of the contagion of example: yet we are assured by a judicious historian, who assisted at the ceremony, that Rome was never replenished with less than two hundred thousand strangers; and another spectator has fixed at two millions the total concourse of the year. A trifling oblation from each individual would accumulate a royal treasure; and two priests stood night and day, with rakes in their hands, to collect, without counting, the heaps of gold and silver that were poured on the altar of St. Paul. 86 It was fortunately a season of peace and plenty; and if forage was scarce, if inns and lodgings were extravagantly dear, an inexhaustible supply of bread and wine, of meat and fish, was provided by the policy of Boniface and the venal hospitality of the Romans. From a city without trade or industry, all casual riches will speedily evaporate: but the avarice and envy of the next generation solicited Clement the Sixth 87 to anticipate the distant period of the century. The gracious pontiff complied with their wishes; afforded Rome this poor consolation for his loss; and justified the change by the name and practice of the Mosaic Jubilee. 88 His summons was obeyed; and the number, zeal, and liberality of the pilgrims did not yield to the primitive festival. But they encountered the triple scourge of war, pestilence, and famine: many wives and virgins were violated in the castles of Italy; and many strangers were pillaged or murdered by the savage Romans, no longer moderated by the presence of their bishops. 89 To the impatience of the popes we may ascribe the successive reduction to fifty, thirty-three, and twenty-five years; although the second of these terms is commensurate with the life of Christ. The profusion of indulgences, the revolt of the Protestants, and the decline of superstition, have much diminished the value of the jubilee; yet even the nineteenth and last festival was a year of pleasure and profit to the Romans; and a philosophic smile will not disturb the triumph of the priest or the happiness of the people. 90
In the beginning of the eleventh century, Italy was exposed to the feudal tyranny, alike oppressive to the sovereign and the people. The rights of human nature were vindicated by her numerous republics, who soon extended their liberty and dominion from the city to the adjacent country. The sword of the nobles was broken; their slaves were enfranchised; their castles were demolished; they assumed the habits of society and obedience; their ambition was confined to municipal honors, and in the proudest aristocracy of Venice on Genoa, each patrician was subject to the laws. 91 But the feeble and disorderly government of Rome was unequal to the task of curbing her rebellious sons, who scorned the authority of the magistrate within and without the walls. It was no longer a civil contention between the nobles and plebeians for the government of the state: the barons asserted in arms their personal independence; their palaces and castles were fortified against a siege; and their private quarrels were maintained by the numbers of their vassals and retainers. In origin and affection, they were aliens to their country: 92 and a genuine Roman, could such have been produced, might have renounced these haughty strangers, who disdained the appellation of citizens, and proudly styled themselves the princes, of Rome. 93 After a dark series of revolutions, all records of pedigree were lost; the distinction of surnames was abolished; the blood of the nations was mingled in a thousand channels; and the Goths and Lombards, the Greeks and Franks, the Germans and Normans, had obtained the fairest possessions by royal bounty, or the prerogative of valor. These examples might be readily presumed; but the elevation of a Hebrew race to the rank of senators and consuls is an event without a parallel in the long captivity of these miserable exiles. 94 In the time of Leo the Ninth, a wealthy and learned Jew was converted to Christianity, and honored at his baptism with the name of his godfather, the reigning Pope. The zeal and courage of Peter the son of Leo were signalized in the cause of Gregory the Seventh, who intrusted his faithful adherent with the government of Adrian's mole, the tower of Crescentius, or, as it is now called, the castle of St. Angelo. Both the father and the son were the parents of a numerous progeny: their riches, the fruits of usury, were shared with the noblest families of the city; and so extensive was their alliance, that the grandson of the proselyte was exalted by the weight of his kindred to the throne of St. Peter. A majority of the clergy and people supported his cause: he reigned several years in the Vatican; and it is only the eloquence of St. Bernard, and the final triumph of Innocence the Second, that has branded Anacletus with the epithet of antipope. After his defeat and death, the posterity of Leo is no longer conspicuous; and none will be found of the modern nobles ambitious of descending from a Jewish stock. It is not my design to enumerate the Roman families which have failed at different periods, or those which are continued in different degrees of splendor to the present time. 95 The old consular line of the Frangipani discover their name in the generous act of breaking or dividing bread in a time of famine; and such benevolence is more truly glorious than to have enclosed, with their allies the Corsi, a spacious quarter of the city in the chains of their fortifications; the Savelli, as it should seem a Sabine race, have maintained their original dignity; the obsolete surname of the Capizucchi is inscribed on the coins of the first senators; the Conti preserve the honor, without the estate, of the counts of Signia; and the Annibaldi must have been very ignorant, or very modest, if they had not descended from the Carthaginian hero. 96
But among, perhaps above, the peers and princes of the city, I distinguish the rival houses of Colonna and Ursini, whose private story is an essential part of the annals of modern Rome. I. The name and arms of Colonna 97 have been the theme of much doubtful etymology; nor have the orators and antiquarians overlooked either Trajan's pillar, or the columns of Hercules, or the pillar of Christ's flagellation, or the luminous column that guided the Israelites in the desert. Their first historical appearance in the year eleven hundred and four attests the power and antiquity, while it explains the simple meaning, of the name. By the usurpation of Cavae, the Colonna provoked the arms of Paschal the Second; but they lawfully held in the Campagna of Rome the hereditary fiefs of Zagarola and Colonna; and the latter of these towns was probably adorned with some lofty pillar, the relic of a villa or temple. 98 They likewise possessed one moiety of the neighboring city of Tusculum, a strong presumption of their descent from the counts of Tusculum, who in the tenth century were the tyrants of the apostolic see. According to their own and the public opinion, the primitive and remote source was derived from the banks of the Rhine; 99 and the sovereigns of Germany were not ashamed of a real or fabulous affinity with a noble race, which in the revolutions of seven hundred years has been often illustrated by merit and always by fortune. 100 About the end of the thirteenth century, the most powerful branch was composed of an uncle and six bothers, all conspicuous in arms, or in the honors of the church. Of these, Peter was elected senator of Rome, introduced to the Capitol in a triumphal car, and hailed in some vain acclamations with the title of Caesar; while John and Stephen were declared marquis of Ancona and count of Romagna, by Nicholas the Fourth, a patron so partial to their family, that he has been delineated in satirical portraits, imprisoned as it were in a hollow pillar. 101 After his decease their haughty behavior provoked the displeasure of the most implacable of mankind. The two cardinals, the uncle and the nephew, denied the election of Boniface the Eighth; and the Colonna were oppressed for a moment by his temporal and spiritual arms. 102 He proclaimed a crusade against his personal enemies; their estates were confiscated; their fortresses on either side of the Tyber were besieged by the troops of St. Peter and those of the rival nobles; and after the ruin of Palestrina or Praeneste, their principal seat, the ground was marked with a ploughshare, the emblem of perpetual desolation. Degraded, banished, proscribed, the six brothers, in disguise and danger, wandered over Europe without renouncing the hope of deliverance and revenge. In this double hope, the French court was their surest asylum; they prompted and directed the enterprise of Philip; and I should praise their magnanimity, had they respected the misfortune and courage of the captive tyrant. His civil acts were annulled by the Roman people, who restored the honors and possessions of the Colonna; and some estimate may be formed of their wealth by their losses, of their losses by the damages of one hundred thousand gold florins which were granted them against the accomplices and heirs of the deceased pope. All the spiritual censures and disqualifications were abolished 103 by his prudent successors; and the fortune of the house was more firmly established by this transient hurricane. The boldness of Sciarra Colonna was signalized in the captivity of Boniface, and long afterwards in the coronation of Lewis of Bavaria; and by the gratitude of the emperor, the pillar in their arms was encircled with a royal crown. But the first of the family in fame and merit was the elder Stephen, whom Petrarch loved and esteemed as a hero superior to his own times, and not unworthy of ancient Rome. Persecution and exile displayed to the nations his abilities in peace and war; in his distress he was an object, not of pity, but of reverence; the aspect of danger provoked him to avow his name and country; and when he was asked, "Where is now your fortress?" he laid his hand on his heart, and answered, "Here." He supported with the same virtue the return of prosperity; and, till the ruin of his declining age, the ancestors, the character, and the children of Stephen Colonna, exalted his dignity in the Roman republic, and at the court of Avignon. II. The Ursini migrated from Spoleto; 104 the sons of Ursus, as they are styled in the twelfth century, from some eminent person, who is only known as the father of their race. But they were soon distinguished among the nobles of Rome, by the number and bravery of their kinsmen, the strength of their towers, the honors of the senate and sacred college, and the elevation of two popes, Celestin the Third and Nicholas the Third, of their name and lineage. 105 Their riches may be accused as an early abuse of nepotism: the estates of St. Peter were alienated in their favor by the liberal Celestin; 106 and Nicholas was ambitious for their sake to solicit the alliance of monarchs; to found new kingdoms in Lombardy and Tuscany; and to invest them with the perpetual office of senators of Rome. All that has been observed of the greatness of the Colonna will likewise redeemed to the glory of the Ursini, their constant and equal antagonists in the long hereditary feud, which distracted above two hundred and fifty years the ecclesiastical state. The jealously of preeminence and power was the true ground of their quarrel; but as a specious badge of distinction, the Colonna embraced the name of Ghibelines and the party of the empire; the Ursini espoused the title of Guelphs and the cause of the church. The eagle and the keys were displayed in their adverse banners; and the two factions of Italy most furiously raged when the origin and nature of the dispute were long since forgotten. 107 After the retreat of the popes to Avignon they disputed in arms the vacant republic; and the mischiefs of discord were perpetuated by the wretched compromise of electing each year two rival senators. By their private hostilities the city and country were desolated, and the fluctuating balance inclined with their alternate success. But none of either family had fallen by the sword, till the most renowned champion of the Ursini was surprised and slain by the younger Stephen Colonna. 108 His triumph is stained with the reproach of violating the truce; their defeat was basely avenged by the assassination, before the church door, of an innocent boy and his two servants. Yet the victorious Colonna, with an annual colleague, was declared senator of Rome during the term of five years. And the muse of Petrarch inspired a wish, a hope, a prediction, that the generous youth, the son of his venerable hero, would restore Rome and Italy to their pristine glory; that his justice would extirpate the wolves and lions, the serpents and bears, who labored to subvert the eternal basis of the marble column. 109
79 See, in the Chronicle of Giovanni Villani, (l. viii. c. 63, 64, 80, in Muratori, tom. xiii.,) the imprisonment of Boniface VIII., and the election of Clement V., the last of which, like most anecdotes, is embarrassed with some difficulties.
80 The original lives of the eight popes of Avignon, Clement V., John XXII., Benedict XI., Clement VI., Innocent VI., Urban V., Gregory XI., and Clement VII., are published by Stephen Baluze, (Vitae Paparum Avenionensium; Paris, 1693, 2 vols. in 4to.,) with copious and elaborate notes, and a second volume of acts and documents. With the true zeal of an editor and a patriot, he devoutly justifies or excuses the characters of his countrymen.
81 The exile of Avignon is compared by the Italians with Babylon, and the Babylonish captivity. Such furious metaphors, more suitable to the ardor of Petrarch than to the judgment of Muratori, are gravely refuted in Baluze's preface. The abbe de Sade is distracted between the love of Petrarch and of his country. Yet he modestly pleads, that many of the local inconveniences of Avignon are now removed; and many of the vices against which the poet declaims, had been imported with the Roman court by the strangers of Italy, (tom. i. p. 23 - 28.)
82 The comtat Venaissin was ceded to the popes in 1273 by Philip III. king of France, after he had inherited the dominions of the count of Thoulouse. Forty years before, the heresy of Count Raymond had given them a pretence of seizure, and they derived some obscure claim from the xith century to some lands citra Rhodanum, (Valesii Notitia Galliarum, p. 495, 610. Longuerue, Description de la France, tom. i. p. 376 - 381.)
83 If a possession of four centuries were not itself a title, such objections might annul the bargain; but the purchase money must be refunded, for indeed it was paid. Civitatem Avenionem emit . . . per ejusmodi venditionem pecunia redundates, &c., (iida Vita Clement. VI. in Baluz. tom. i. p. 272. Muratori, Script. tom. iii. P. ii. p. 565.) The only temptation for Jane and her second husband was ready money, and without it they could not have returned to the throne of Naples.
84 Clement V immediately promoted ten cardinals, nine French and one English, (Vita ivta, p. 63, et Baluz. p. 625, &c.) In 1331, the pope refused two candidates recommended by the king of France, quod xx. Cardinales, de quibus xvii. de regno Fraciae originem traxisse noscuntur in memorato collegio existant, (Thomassin, Discipline de l'Eglise, tom. i. p. 1281.)
85 Our primitive account is from Cardinal James Caietan, (Maxima Bibliot. Patrum, tom. xxv.;) and I am at a loss to determine whether the nephew of Boniface VIII. be a fool or a knave: the uncle is a much clearer character.
86 See John Villani (l. viii. c. 36) in the xiith, and the Chronicon Astense, in the xith volume (p. 191, 192) of Muratori's Collection Papa innumerabilem pecuniam abeisdem accepit, nam duo clerici, cum rastris, &c.
87 The two bulls of Boniface VIII. and Clement VI. are inserted on the Corpus Juris Canonici, Extravagant. Commun. l. v. tit. ix c 1, 2.)
88 The sabbatic years and jubilees of the Mosaic law, (Car. Sigon. de Republica Hebraeorum, Opp. tom. iv. l. iii. c. 14, 14, p. 151, 152,) the suspension of all care and labor, the periodical release of lands, debts, servitude, &c., may seem a noble idea, but the execution would be impracticable in a profane republic; and I should be glad to learn that this ruinous festival was observed by the Jewish people.
89 See the Chronicle of Matteo Villani, (l. i. c. 56,) in the xivth vol. of Muratori, and the Memoires sur la Vie de Petrarque, tom. iii. p. 75 - 89.
90 The subject is exhausted by M. Chais, a French minister at the Hague, in his Lettres Historiques et Dogmatiques, sur les Jubiles et es Indulgences; la Haye, 1751, 3 vols. in 12mo.; an elaborate and pleasing work, had not the author preferred the character of a polemic to that of a philosopher.
91 Muratori (Dissert. xlvii.) alleges the Annals of Florence, Padua, Genoa, &c., the analogy of the rest, the evidence of Otho of Frisingen, (de Gest. Fred. I. l. ii. c. 13,) and the submission of the marouis of Este.
92 As early as the year 824, the emperor Lothaire I. found it expedient to interrogate the Roman people, to learn from each individual by what national law he chose to be governed. (Muratori, Dissertat xxii.)
93 Petrarch attacks these foreigners, the tyrants of Rome, in a declamation or epistle, full of bold truths and absurd pedantry, in which he applies the maxims, and even prejudices, of the old republic to the state of the xivth century, (Memoires, tom. iii. p. 157 - 169.)
94 The origin and adventures of the Jewish family are noticed by Pagi, (Critica, tom. iv. p. 435, A.D. 1124, No. 3, 4,) who draws his information from the Chronographus Maurigniacensis, and Arnulphus Sagiensis de Schismate, (in Muratori, Script. Ital. tom. iii. P. i. p. 423 - 432.) The fact must in some degree be true; yet I could wish that it had been coolly related, before it was turned into a reproach against the antipope.
95 Muratori has given two dissertations (xli. and xlii.) to the names, surnames, and families of Italy. Some nobles, who glory in their domestic fables, may be offended with his firm and temperate criticism; yet surely some ounces of pure gold are of more value than many pounds of base metal.
96 The cardinal of St. George, in his poetical, or rather metrical history of the election and coronation of Boniface VIII., (Muratori Script. Ital. tom. iii. P. i. p. 641, &c.,) describes the state and families of Rome at the coronation of Boniface VIII., (A.D. 1295.)
Interea titulis redimiti sanguine et armis Illustresque viri Romana a stirpe trahentes Nomen in emeritos tantae virtutis honores Insulerant sese medios festumque colebant Aurata fulgente toga, sociante caterva. Ex ipsis devota domus praestantis ab Ursa Ecclesiae, vultumque gerens demissius altum Festa Columna jocis, necnon Sabellia mitis; Stephanides senior, Comites Annibalica proles, Praefectusque urbis magnum sine viribus nomen.
(l. ii. c. 5, 100, p. 647, 648.)
The ancient statutes of Rome (l. iii. c. 59, p. 174, 175) distinguish eleven families of barons, who are obliged to swear in concilio communi, before the senator, that they would not harbor or protect any malefactors, outlaws, &c. - a feeble security!
97 It is pity that the Colonna themselves have not favored the world with a complete and critical history of their illustrious house. I adhere to Muratori, (Dissert. xlii. tom. iii. p. 647, 648.)
98 Pandulph. Pisan. in Vit. Paschal. II. in Muratori, Script. Ital. tom. iii. P. i. p. 335. The family has still great possessions in the Campagna of Rome; but they have alienated to the Rospigliosi this original fief of Colonna, Eschinard, p. 258, 259.)
99 Te longinqua dedit tellus et pascua Rheni, says Petrarch; and, in 1417, a duke of Guelders and Juliers acknowledges (Lenfant, Hist. du Concile de Constance, tom. ii. p. 539) his descent from the ancestors of Martin V., (Otho Colonna:) but the royal author of the Memoirs of Brandenburg observes, that the sceptre in his arms has been confounded with the column. To maintain the Roman origin of the Colonna, it was ingeniously supposed (Diario di Monaldeschi, in the Script. Ital. tom. xii. p. 533) that a cousin of the emperor Nero escaped from the city, and founded Mentz in Germany
100 I cannot overlook the Roman triumph of ovation on Marce Antonio Colonna, who had commanded the pope's galleys at the naval victory of Lepanto, (Thuan. Hist. l. 7, tom. iii. p. 55, 56. Muret. Oratio x. Opp. tom. i. p. 180 - 190.)
101 Muratori, Annali d'Italia, tom. x. p. 216, 220.
102 Petrarch's attachment to the Colonna has authorized the abbe de Sade to expatiate on the state of the family in the fourteenth century, the persecution of Boniface VIII., the character of Stephen and his sons, their quarrels with the Ursini, &c., (Memoires sur Petrarque, tom. i. p. 98 - 110, 146 - 148, 174 - 176, 222 - 230, 275 - 280.) His criticism often rectifies the hearsay stories of Villani, and the errors of the less diligent moderns. I understand the branch of Stephen to be now extinct.
103 Alexander III. had declared the Colonna who adhered to the emperor Frederic I. incapable of holding any ecclesiastical benefice, (Villani, l. v. c. 1;) and the last stains of annual excommunication were purified by Sixtus V., (Vita di Sisto V. tom. iii. p. 416.) Treason, sacrilege, and proscription are often the best titles of ancient nobility.
104 - Vallis te proxima misit, Appenninigenae qua prata virentia sylvae Spoletana metunt armenta gregesque protervi. Monaldeschi (tom. xii. Script. Ital. p. 533) gives the Ursini a French origin, which may be remotely true.
105 In the metrical life of Celestine V. by the cardinal of St. George (Muratori, tom. iii. P. i. p. 613, &c.,) we find a luminous, and not inelegant, passage, (l. i. c. 3, p. 203 &c.:) -
- genuit quem nobilis Ursae (Ursi?) Progenies, Romana domus, veterataque magnis Fascibus in clero, pompasque experta senatus, Bellorumque manu grandi stipata parentum Cardineos apices necnon fastigia dudum Papatus iterata tenens.
Muratori (Dissert. xlii. tom. iii.) observes, that the first Ursini pontificate of Celestine III. was unknown: he is inclined to read Ursi progenies.
106 Filii Ursi, quondam Coelestini papae nepotes, de bonis ecclesiae Romanae ditati, (Vit. Innocent. III. in Muratori, Script. tom. iii. P. i.) The partial prodigality of Nicholas III. is more conspicuous in Villani and Muratori. Yet the Ursini would disdain the nephews of a modern pope.
107 In his fifty-first Dissertation on the Italian Antiquities, Muratori explains the factions of the Guelphs and Ghibelines.
108 Petrarch (tom. i. p. 222 - 230) has celebrated this victory according to the Colonna; but two contemporaries, a Florentine (Giovanni Villani, l. x. c. 220) and a Roman, (Ludovico Monaldeschi, p. 532 - 534,) are less favorable to their arms.
109 The abbe de Sade (tom. i. Notes, p. 61 - 66) has applied the vith Canzone of Petrarch, Spirto Gentil, &c., to Stephen Colonna the younger: Orsi, lupi, leoni, aquile e serpi Al una gran marmorea colonna Fanno noja sovente e a se danno

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – Senior Dani Gallucci (Orlando, Fla.) held the Ohio Dominican University Panthers (2-17) in check on the mound during the first game and freshman Taylor Campbell (Warner Robbins, Ga.) doubled in three runs in the second game as the Georgia College softball team (18-10) swept the doubleheader Friday afternoon at the Peeler Complex.
Gallucci continued her impressive season on the mound, as she held the Panthers to five hits and zero walks while striking out six en route to her fifth victory of the year (5-3). As a result of the one-run outing, Gallucci lowered her ERA to 1.19. The utility player also delivered the finishing blow from the batter's box, knocking in Kristen Humphries (Columbus, Ga.) for the go-ahead run.
Junior Whitney Okvist (Kennesaw, Ga.) finished the game 2-for-3 at the plate, including a leadoff triple in the bottom of the sixth inning that led to her scoring the tying run. She also stole her 23rd base of the season, good for first in the Peach Belt Conference (PBC).
Game two saw Marisa Boyette (Marietta, Ga.) take to the pitcher's circle. The Bobcat freshman (8-4) recorded swinging strikeouts for all of the first four outs.
The Bobcats got on the board in the bottom of the first, when Abi LeRoy (Dublin, Ga.) dropped a bunt single down that brought in Kristen Brooks (Brunswick, Ga.).
The Bobcats would widen the gap in the fourth inning. Gallucci, Michl'le Hull (Stone Mountain, Ga.) and Natalie Lampert (Marietta, Ga.) all singled to start the inning, finishing the sequence with the bases loaded. Campbell came into the game as a pinch hitter and quickly put a ODU fastball deep into the left center gap, clearing the bases for the second extra-base hit of her collegiate career.
The Panthers threatened in the top of the fifth as Erica Bell (Fayetteville, Ga.) got the call with the bases loaded and two outs. She quickly got the strikeout to end the inning and the threat. Bell went the final two innings allowing one hit as she earned her first save of the season.
The Bobcats return to the field Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. when they welcome Young Harris College (16-6, 0-0 PBC) to the Peeler Complex.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level.

Litigation Release No. 22051 / July 20, 2011
SEC v. Michael Cardillo, Civil Action No. 11-CV-0549 (S.D.N.Y.) (RJS)
Former Galleon Trader Michael Cardillo Settles SEC Insider Trading Charges
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that on July 18, 2011, the Honorable Richard J. Sullivan of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a judgment against Michael Cardillo in SEC v. Michael Cardillo, 11-CV-0549, an insider trading case the SEC filed on January 26, 2011. The SEC charged Cardillo, who was a trader at the hedge fund investment adviser Galleon Management, LP during the relevant time period, with using inside information to trade ahead of the September 2007 announced acquisition of 3Com Corp. and the November 2007 announced acquisition of Axcan Pharma Inc.
In its complaint, the SEC alleged that Arthur Cutillo and Brien Santarlas, two former attorneys with the international law firm of Ropes & Gray LLP, misappropriated from their law firm material, nonpublic information concerning the acquisitions of 3Com and Axcan, and tipped the inside information, through another attorney, to Zvi Goffer, a former proprietary trader at Schottenfeld Group LLC, in exchange for kickbacks. The SEC further alleged that Goffer tipped information about these acquisitions to Craig Drimal, a trader who worked out of the offices of Galleon, who tipped the information to Cardillo. As alleged in the complaint, Cardillo then traded in the securities of 3Com and Axcan on behalf of a Galleon hedge fund.
To settle the SEC's charges, Cardillo consented to the entry of a judgment that: (i) permanently enjoins him from future violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; and (ii) orders him to pay disgorgement of $58,520 plus $9,523 in prejudgment interest, and a civil penalty of $29,260. In a related SEC administrative proceeding, Cardillo consented to the entry of an SEC order barring him from association with any investment adviser, broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, or transfer agent. Cardillo previously pled guilty to charges of securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud in a related criminal case, United States v. Michael Cardillo, 11-CR-0078 (S.D.N.Y.), and is awaiting sentencing.

* Sharp to boost supply business to Samsung as Apple growth slows
* Posted worse-than-expected 545.35 bln yen net loss in year to March 31
* Aims to restore operating profit to 150 bln yen by 2015/16
* Forecasts 80 bln yen op profit this year vs 147.27 bln loss
* Banks to lend it another 150 bln yen this year, send two directors
By Reiji Murai and Tim Kelly
TOKYO, May 14 (Reuters) - Japanese display maker Sharp Corp , a supplier to Apple Inc, will aim to boost sales to the iPhone maker's rival Samsung Electronics Co under a three-year rehabilitation roadmap after posting a worse-than-expected $5.4 billion net loss in the last financial year.
The business plan, released on Tuesday, will also lean on banks for another 150 billion yen ($1.5 billion ) in funds after they saved it last year from failure, with a 200 billion yen convertible bond falling due in September.
"For Sharp, the way forward is to forge various alliances to generate new oppportunites," said Kozo Takahashi, who was named president on Tuesday after his predecessor held the post for barely a year.
Takahashi said Sharp, which took big writeoffs last year after a focus on making screens for its own struggling TV business left it with excess capacity, will double to two-thirds the portion of panels produced for customers such as Samsung and Apple.
He added that Sharp would look at expanding cooperation with Samsung in technology for small screens used in smartphones and other mobile devices.
Sharp forecast an 80 billion yen operating profit for the year to next March 31, exceeding the 52.9 billion yen average estimate of 13 analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. That follows a 146.27 billion yen operating loss in the business year just ended and a 545.35 billion yen net loss.
It will target an annual operating profit of 150 billion yen by the year to March 2016, in line with the 100 billion to 200 billion yen results during the five years to March 2008, before its TV and display businesses were hit by overcapacity, a strong yen and competition from Korean and Taiwanese rivals.
Sharp was rescued last October by 360 billion yen in emergency loans from Mizuho Financial Group, Mitsubishi Financial Group and other lenders. In return, it had to mortgage offices and factories in Japan, including one that makes screens for Apple's iPad and its latest iPhone.
The company also agreed to trim its workforce by 10,000 and seek buyers for overseas assets, including TV assembly plants in China, Malaysia and Mexico.
Sharp said on Tuesday that Mizuho and Mitsubishi UFJ would each nominate an executive to serve on its board and in its senior management.
A key challenge for Sharp's recovery, however, is keeping its factories busy enough to earn profits that will satisfy its creditors despite slowing growth in its business making screens for Apple's iPads and iPhones.
Analysts project annual profit growth at Apple to average less than 5 percent over the next decade, compared with an average of 60 percent over the past five years.
In January, Sharp had to curtail production of 9.7-inch iPad screens, hurting output levels and threatening its recovery in profitability. The Japanese company is preparing to begin large-scale production next month of screens for Apple's next iPhone model, sources familiar with the matter said.
In a March agreement with Samsung Electronics that provided cash-strapped Sharp 10.4 billion yen in capital in return for a 3 percent stake, Japan's leading liquid crystal display fabricator also promised to supply small display screens to the world's biggest maker of mobile phones.
Takahashi said orders from Samsung helped to maintain capacity rates at one of its small-screen plants which, according to industry sources, also produces iPad screens.
He also saw complementary areas in technology, where Samsung has been at the cutting edge of ultra-thin organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screens while Sharp is strong on power-saving IGZO technology.
"Samsung has OLED and we have IGZO and we are mulling cooperation there, although nothing concrete is yet on the table," he said.
Sharp's shares have staged a turnaround since sinking to their lowest in more than three decades last October while it struggled with debt and sought a bailout.
Since mid-November, its share price has more than tripled, compared with a 70 percent rise in Japan's benchmark Nikkei average. On Tuesday, prior to the earnings announcement, Sharp climbed 4.9 percent to 531 yen, its highest close in more than a year.
But the company has a long way to recover, with its shareholders' equity ratio whittled down to 6 percent at the end of March from 9.6 percent at end-December and 23.9 percent at the end of March last year.
Tetsuo Onishi, representative director in charge of finance, told reporters that the company's three-year plan aimed to get the ratio back to the 15 to 20 percent range, which it would need to recapture the investment-grade credit rating it lost as its financial situation deteriorated.

NEW YORK CITY --More hospitals around the nation have been adding mobile device charging stations as an amenity for patients, visitors and staff, and new mandates will likely increase the demand. Hercules Networks, a company that makes the popular goCharge kiosk line, says vending operators are ideally positioned to benefit from this popularity, since they already have established relationships as service providers at such locations.
The self-service stations include charging cables for most portable phones, tablets, music players and other mobile devices.They're typically installed in waiting and emergency rooms, cafeterias and at nursing stations, allowing patients and their visitors to stay connected, keep up with work and pass the time playing games and reading e-books, without worrying about running down their batteries.
The charging station can be fitted with a credit card reader or bill validator, or can be set for free vend, as an amenity.
New York's North Shore/Long Island Jewish, Cincinnati's Mercy Health, the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center and Houston, TX's Methodist Hospital are among institutions that have added goCharge stations to their waiting and emergency rooms.
GoCharge pointed out that "Press Ganey scores" published by Press Ganey Associates, Inc. (South Bend, IN) account for approximately 30% of the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Survey, which hospitals must report in order to receive full Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement under the Affordable Care Act. This popularity ranking makes patient satisfaction more critical than ever. Many hospitals are reportedly adding the charging stations, at least in part, to improve those scores.
Several hospitals are also finding they can put the goCharge stations to good use for health education, in addition to providing the charging convenience. Most goCharge models, such as the Orion (the most popular model for hospitals), offer a display area for either static messages or the ability to add an iPad or other tablet device for dynamic messaging. This communication capability also helps to minimize waiting-room clutter from brochures and other informational material.
Hospitals today also are gearing up for the implementation of the new federal Electronic Medical Records mandate. As of January 1, 2014, this will require electronic patient record-keeping, most readily accomplished with iPads and other mobile devices. As a result, goCharge anticipates that a solution to charge these units will be in strong demand. Since there also will be a need to store them, the company has introduced a series of lockable charging units designed specifically to store and recharge all mobile technology devices.
Hercules offers a range of floor and tabletop models, with as many as 96 custom configured charging tips, a patent-pending charging technology that delivers faster-than-average charging speeds, and options including LCD digital screens measuring from 10.2" up to 42", illuminated billboards, lockers to secure the devices, and "wrapping" capability for sponsorship and branding.
GoCharge stations also are located in bars, malls, sports arenas, coffee shops, university student unions, military bases and other venues nationwide.
