councillors have given the green light to a controversial planning application for the change of use of a shop to a cafe and wine bar on the main street into Colne.
The property at the junction of Lord Street and Albert Road has been empty for many years, but applicant Mrs Kathryn Hooks has been converting it in recent weeks and councillors praised for improving its appearance.
However, residents living in Brown Street West objected to the plans, citing potential noise nuisance, food odours and highway safety as their main reasons.
Mrs Hooks told Pendle Council's Colne and District Committee her plans had been backed by other local businesses and said that cafe culture could enhance Colne in the same way similar outlets had done in Hebden Bridge and Skipton.
"Some people have said Colne is crying out for a cafe and I hope that local residents will use it," she said.
Residents said there were parking problems in the area already with a dentist, hairdressers, the Muni Theatre and two restaurants and odours from five food outlets.
Mrs Hooks said her customers would be encouraged to use nearby public car parks rather than local streets.
Coun. Joe Cooney said he was pleased to see the building brought back into use, while Coun. David Clegg said that a condition should be attached to the permission preventing the rear yard being used as a smoking area and restricting the use of the rear door to emergencies.
Speaking against the change of use, Coun. Ann Kerrigan said a petition signed by 27 people had been submitted. "We cannot overlook the views of 27 people. Not everyone has been told about this and we should defer the matter for talks between all parties," she said.
Her amendment, however, failed to find a seconder and permission was granted with Coun. Clegg's suggested condition agreed.

The Seattle Seahawks have released Terrell Owens as part of the team cutting down from 90 to 75 players.
I'm no longer a Seahawk. I THANK the organization 4 the opportunity, I'm truly blessed beyond belief. My FAITH is intact & will NOT waiver.— Terrell Owens (@terrellowens) August 26, 2012
NFL teams must cut down to 75 players by 1 p.m Pacific Time on Monday. Owens, 38, signed with the Seahawks after an impressive workout on Aug. 6. Owens was in great shape, and at times flashed the big-play potential in practice that he showed throughout his career.
However, that effort did not translate over to games.
Owens was targeted three times against Kansas City, and finished with two catches for 41 yards. That performance came after being targeted five times against Denver last week, but finishing without a catch, including a drop on what would have been a 46-yard touchdown catch from the arm of quarterback Matt Flynn.
Owens' release means that Seattle will continue to give younger players like Ricardo Lockette and Kris Durham a chance to make the roster.
While Owens is no longer with Seattle, he did prove that he can still play in the league. Being cut now by the Seahawks offers Owens a better opportunity to hook on with another team looking for a deep threat at receiver.

Easiest way I found was to put in the install floppies and let sysinst do the work. For some reason it failed to run newfs (because not mounted?), which actually was fine by me.

Welcome dd, possibly our youngest member at 10?
Just thought you'd all like to know that dd is only 10 years old, and just joined SE. She loves to cook with her mother, our very own donnie.

Review: Better than reference HD 3850 and cool
This time around we decided to test Diamond's dual-slot HD 3850 card with 512MB of GDDR3 memory, and this baby is no reference design. Diamond opted for 512MB of memory, and it'll definitely come in handy. However, it struck us as a bit odd that this card still runs at reference speeds, whereas Diamond claims on their Website that this is an overclocked piece of hardware. We had a reading of 670MHz core and 830MHz memory speed, which are reference speeds for Radeon HD 3850. Diamond HD 3850 packs a dual-slot cooler capable of cooling the GPU that runs at greater speeds than these, but we'll talk about that a bit later.
The design of the card is slightly different that the reference one, and although the PCB wasn't moved, the rest of the components are. GPU was pushed a bit to the right, whereas VRM is closer to CrossFire connectors than the power connector. This won't affect the end user because your HD 3850 uses maximum 100W, and when in idle mode, PowerPlay will reduce your consumption depending on the GPU usage.
The card is dual-slot, but due to the cooler's design, the hot air will stay in the case. One big 80x80mm fan blows air directly on the block that leans on the GPU.
The fan is Y.S.Tech FD128015ML but we couldn't find any specs. Its speed was constant during tests, and although it's quieter than HD 3850's or 8800 GT's cooler, it's still too loud for those who crave absolute silence. Still, it cools the GPU flawlessly, even when it's under a workload, and our readings were maximum 63 degrees Celsius.
The card features 8 memory modules, each packing 64MB of memory, and it adds up to 512MB of GGDR3 in total. Diamond uses Samsung K4J52324QE-BJ1A memory and you can easily overclock it even further. We had no trouble pushing it up to 980MHz but we also pushed the graphics core up to 735MHz. These are not impossible speeds, and we know that HIS sells their HD 3850 IceQ3 TurboX at these speeds for saucy €195. Diamond's fan was did well and ran at constant speeds, and most importantly – the temperature didn't exceed 70 degrees Celsius.
Radeon HD3850 is a DirectX 10.1, Shader Model 4.1 and PCI Express 2.0 card, so it'll be a good investment for next generation of DX10.1 games. Memory interface is 256bit and the RV670 GPU brings HD video/audio support. You can directly connect your HD TV trough the HDMI adapter that comes bundled with the card, and there's no need for additional cabling mess because the same cable will carry the audio signal as well. Smooth and simple playing of HD DVD or BluRay content are courtesy of the card's UVD engine and HDCP.

We tested Diamond HD 3850 512MB card but bear in mind, when viewing the results, that reference HD 3850's have 256MB of memory. Overclocking was simple enough and we managed to reach stable 735MHz core and 980MHz memory speed. Faster card with more memory easily outperformed the reference one. The cooler performed well and the temperature was below 70 degrees Celsius, no matter the workload, and that's 20 degrees less than reference HD 3850's score.
Diamond HD 3850 Ruby Edition card scores well in 3DMarks and it constantly beats 8800 GS, and after we overclocked it, it ended up being on par with reference HD 3870.
Diamond HD 3850 did a good job doubling the memory on their card. If you're gaming at 1280x1024, the performance increase will not be that great, but as soon as you go for higher resolutions, it definitely pays off - so we see the performance increase of 15%. Geforce 8800 GS beats Diamond's card, but by such a small margin that it's negligible. At lower resolutions with antialiasing on, 8800 GS has the edge, but when AA is off, HD 3850 takes the cake.
In F.E.A.R., Radeon HD 3850 beats 8800 GS by a small margin. These two cards go at it hammer and tongs in €150 market segment. Diamond's 512MB card beats 256MB reference card by up to 9%, and it's slightly less than the 15% increase we had in Company of Heroes.
World in Conflict did a good job utilizing the graphics memory so we see Diamond's card easily beating the reference HD 3850 256MB card. Diamond HD 3850's core ran at 735MHz core and 980MHz memory speed.
In Crysis, Diamond failed to deliver at 1280x1024 and antialiasing on. The card simply couldn't take this beast on. Not even the 512MB of memory helped, and it performed almost identically to 256MB version. Still, HD 3870 didn't fare better either and at 1600x1200, it scored the same as Diamond HD 3850. Geforce 8800 GS is slightly better than HD 3850, but we still think that the main problem is ATI's drivers for XP.
Diamond did a good job with their dual slot HD 3850 with 512MB, and the dual-slot cooler attempted to attract gamers and those who don't like the single-slot 256MB version. The card runs at reference 668MHz core and 830MHz memory, but Diamond's cooler will make overclocking easy. Actually, the cooler is what makes this card special, and the GPU temperature during gaming reaches only 63 degrees Celsius. For those who want a 100% noise-free card, Diamond's cooler might not be the answer, but it will do the trick for an average user. For this price we expeced a higher clocked card.
We've seen what Diamond HD 3850 512MB Ruby Edition can do, and it's definitely more than HD 3850 256MB can, and since this card supports DX 10.1 and PCI Express 2.0, you can most certainly look forward to some of the next-generation games coming our way. As far as multimedia goes, HD 3800 will satisfy most current demands. UVD engine takes care of BluRay and HD DVD reproduction, so your CPU power will not be an issue here.
The price is right - $174 in U.S. and about the same numbers just with € as a currency in Europe. That being said, this card is a really good solution for those on a budget that want a cool and fast enough card.

Alex Rosss award-winning international bestseller, The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century, has become a contemporary classic, establishing Ross as one of our most popular and acclaimed cultural historians. Listen to This, which takes its title from a beloved 2004 essay in which Ross describes his late-blooming discovery of pop music, showcases the best of his writing from more than a decade at The New Yorker. These pieces, dedicated to classical and popular artists alike, are at once erudite and lively.
In a previously unpublished essay, Ross brilliantly retells hundreds of years of music historyfrom Renaissance dances to Led Zeppelinthrough a few iconic bass lines of celebration and lament. He vibrantly sketches canonical composers such as Schubert, Verdi, and Brahms; gives us in-depth interviews with modern pop masters such as Björk and Radiohead; and introduces us to music students at a Newark high school and indie-rock hipsters in Beijing.
Whether his subject is Mozart or Bob Dylan, Ross shows how music expresses the full complexity of the human condition. Witty, passionate, and brimming with insight, Listen to This teaches us how to listen more closely.
The triumph of Listen to This is that Ross dusts off music thats centuries old to reveal the passion and brilliance thats too often hidden from a contemporary audience. Its a joy for a pop fan or a classical aficionado.-New York Times Review of Books
Even at his most cerebral, Ross deftly draws in the ears of the seasoned and the uninitiated alike, demystifying the traditions of music while celebrating its ability to transform. . . Listen to This is undeniably essential.-Doyle Armbrust, Time Out Chicago
A collection of supremely eloquent essays, addressing a range of subjects from Bach to Björk.-Jeremy A. Eichler, The Boston Globe

The stress of the lawsuit makes it difficult for Gus to focus on the novel he has been contracted to write, which is based on the suspicious death of billionaire Konstantin Zacharias.
WEEKLY BOOK RELEASES FOR DECEMBER 6TH | Open Society Book Club Discussions and Reviews
The angel calls Zacharias back to Daniel 9, where the prediction concerning the coming of Messiah was foretold by Gabriel.
Knuppelberg sat in the back of his car with the handcuffed Kidder, and a local Gestapo man called Zacharias sat in the other car with Kirby-Green, also handcuffed.
One is, that St. Matthew calls the Zacharias spoken of by our Saviour, the son of Barachias; whereas this Zacharias, slain by
The Works of Dr. John Tillotson, Late Archbishop of Canterbury. Vol. 04.
Epiphanius likewise cites a passage concerning the death of Zacharias, which is not in Jerome's copy, viz.:
That Zaccheus was a Jew is indicated by his name, which is a variant of "Zacharias," with a Greek or Latin termination; he must have been particularly obnoxious to his people on account of his advanced status among the publicans, all of whom were in Roman employ.

When Elizabeth's son was born, the neighbors, cousins and aunts all assembled and at once volunteered their opinions as to the boy's name, and all insisted that he should be named "Zacharias," after his father.

You Can't Tango in Any Old Shoes
"If you danced like that with someone in the nightclub scene," said Russell Buckingham, a painter and club impresario talking about tango, "you would go home with them," quotes the New York Times in You Can't Tango in Any Old Shoes. So maybe it's the dance more than the shoes.
Blogs and websites are devoted to tango shoes, and goodness knows, tons of different models are for sale on the internet, at dance festivals, and along Suipacha in Buenos aires. Tango shoes inspired my own post about My Sexy Shoes. (There are also lots of kinky blogs and fashion blogs just about shoes, but that's a whole other topic.)
But generally with tango shoes, it's the women talking, or men admiring the women wearing tango shoes. Some women even go so far as to say they dance tango for the shoes. I've never heard a guy declare such a thing.
Here are a couple of men's tango shoes from Darcos:
I wouldn't call these sexy, but they do make a statement.
Actually you can dance tango in any old shoes, but who would want to?

Oh those are funny shoes.
I Love my Comme Il Faut shoes now. I was unsure for a long time but I realize now how well balanced they are. It is all about where the heel is, and how you can be grounded while wearing a high heel. I have almost a shrine to them in my closet...a place waiting (impatiently) for silver snakeskin, as yet to be found. They become so important when we realize how far they take us....
- miss tango said...
Those shoes are criminally ugly!
- NYC Tango Pilgrim said...
Now Cherie,
Can you tell me where I can get a matching outfit for these shoes? :-)
- Elizabeth said...
nyc TP:
Maybe you could find the outfit at Barnum and Bailey?
- tangocherie said...
Elizabeth, maybe you can order silver snakeskin CIF's!
Well, TP, as for your question, you'd have to ask the guy I saw last night at Los Consagrados in bright orange cargo pants and tee shirt. Only these Darcos shoes were wanting.

One of the most shocking sports stories from the last week included the shrouded news of Steve McNair, former quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans as well as a breakthrough college star at Alcorn State. On Saturday July 4th, news started coming from a variety of sources that McNair had been found dead in his home; a true loss for the sport overall because of the level of play, commitment, and toughness that McNair showed.
The manner in which the story broke on the holiday led to several more examples of the Statusphere vs. Mainstream Media. There were some that were brutally scathing of MSM's coverage, such as Aaron Brazell's piece over at Technosailor:
WKRN, in Nashville, was the first with the news and it quickly disappeared off their page – a result of too much traffic or erroring on the side of caution, who is to really know.
NBC Affiliate WTVF, Channel 5, was the second to report it filling the gap where WKRN dropped off.
It was a long time (30 minutes or so) before national media picked it up. ESPN, the Worldwide Leader in Sports by their own slogan, didn't have it. No one did. We were left gasping for more. Is the rumor true? Can anyone confirm? Can police confirm?
Was any of us on Twitter making calls? Maybe. A few possibly. Not many.
There were a few other comments in and throughout Brazell's post, as well as follow-up from the readers questioning his rush to blame, but I think that he may have taken it too far to the end of the spectrum. When it comes to a story surrounded by so many circumstances, it is obviously in the best interest of the journalistic community to get the story right. 30 minutes to check the story is better than getting it wrong, correcting it, and making the error the story, not the event.
On the complete other end of the spectrum is an old media guy accusing Twitter of being too involved in the conversation about the former-MVPs passing. Tim Keown, a long-time writer at ESPN put together this piece in response to the reaction of another NFL QB's wife that was captured in the midst of the coverage. The same negativity Brazell had toward ESPN for failing to report the story, Keown has toward Twitter for pressuring MSM to respond:
The problem is, there is a widespread attempt in the media to bring validity to the enterprise. There's pressure to get stuff out there, to be connected to the story. CNN wants us to follow it on Twitter, when following it on CNN should be about all it demands of us. Viewers are invited to respond, and there's nothing quite like the awfulness of a guy reading a truncated, abbreviated, code-language message from someone with no expertise beyond opposable thumbs.
(And I'll say it before you do: There are exceptions, and the election protests in Iran are a big one. Without Twitter, the amount of useful information leaving that country would be minimal at best. This leaves aside the validity of the information being Twittered — or whatever the heck you want to call it — but that's secondary to the importance of the technology in spreading useful information.)
The bold in the above section is mine. Also, I wanted to include Keown's waiver to not completely throw him under the bus, but that shouldn't be a complete hand washing for the piece.
Twitter has broken stories, we know that. Folks in DC will recall when Twitter was in its mainstream infancy and news about Tim Russert spread, in addition to the reference Keown makes and the many other breaking outlets. Remember: that's not what Twitter's purpose is, to be a journalistic mainstay. It's for information sharing, not confirmation; we need to recognize the bridge between the two.
Sure, as a reporter, you have to move a little quicker now, but let that be an advantage, not a hurdle. Keown opined that this stuff will sink the media ship, but he places to high of a premium on what it means for journalism to be accompanied by "You heard it here first." That's ignorant, to me.
For journalists, the service should be used like a hiker uses a compass: it doesn't show you the trail, just points you in the right direction. We are telling you where to go, just don't get lost along the way and everyone stays happy.

For the New York Marathon, a Triumphant Return
Mutai Defends Title as Marathon Has Biggest Turnout a Year After Being Canceled
The New York City Marathon returned to the five boroughs larger than ever on Sunday, a year after its cancellation in the wake of superstorm Sandy and six months after the bombings at the Boston Marathon.
For Kenyan Geoffrey Mutai, the race marked a different sort of return—to the winners' podium, following his victory at the 2011 edition of the race. The win, in 2 hours, 8 minutes and 24 seconds, made Mutai, 32, the first man to win...

Update, 6:30 pm:
Speaking with reporters on a late afternoon conference call, UAW President Bob King says its International Executive Board followed the union's constitution, which gives skilled trades workers a separate right of ratification on skilled trades issues.
But King says the board investigated the reasons skilled trades workers voted the contract down. He says according to Facebook posts and leaflets, the main reasons were general economic ones affecting all workers, such as bonuses - and not issues specific to skilled trades workers.
"You want to protect the rights of the minority, but you can't let the minority overrule the rights of the majority," King said.
King says with all three contracts with the Detroit automakers now finalized, the union will turn its attention to organizing efforts, and the 2012 elections.
Here's the breakout of the vote, according to the UAW:
Total Hourly Bargaining Unit (HBU), including Skilled Trades:
54.75 percent voted for the agreement
45.25 percent voted against the agreement
Skilled Trades only:
44.41 percent voted for the agreement
55.59 percent voted against the agreement
Salaried Bargaining Unit (SBU):
68.80 percent voted for the agreement
31.20 percent voted against the agreement
The tentative agreement includes $4.5 billion to produce new and upgraded vehicles and components by 2015.
Jobs, investment and product guarantees in the tentative agreement include:
· Belvidere, Ill., New compact vehicle, estimated plant investment of $600 million
· Sterling Heights, Mich., New compact vehicle, estimated plant investment of $850 million
· Kokomo, Ind., New Front Wheel Drive 9 Speed - 946 TE transmission and new Rear Wheel Drive 8 Speed - 845RE transmission, estimated plant investment of $1.3 million
· Toledo, Ohio, Next generation steering columns, FRW and RWD Torque Converters, estimated plant investment of $100 million
· Trenton, Mich., Reutilize portion of the Trenton North Engine Plant to produce an incremental volume (150,000 units) of 3.8L V-6, estimated plant investment of $100 million
Details of the agreement, including a full list of plant investments, can be found here.
Update, 4:31 pm:
In a statement, the UAW says it's declared the agreement with Chrysler ratified, in spite of the "no" vote by a majority of skilled trade workers. The union says its executive board investigated, and determined that the reasons for the "no" vote among the skilled trades were "predominantly economic and not unique to skilled trades members." UAW leadership declared the agreements ratified for all Chrysler workers under its constitution.
UAW President Bob King has called a 5:30 pm press conference to brief reporters on the deal.
Chrysler has posted a press release on the ratification here.
3:39 pm:
Chrysler workers have reached a split decision.
A majority of United Auto Worker production members have voted to ratify a new contract with the automaker. But UAW skilled trade members rejected the deal on Wednesday afternoon.
UAW leaders discussed the vote on a 1 p.m. conference call and have not yet announced how they intend to proceed, according to the Detroit Free Press, which broke news of the split vote. No precedent exists for resolving a split vote.
"I don't remember this ever happening," Art Schwartz, a former GM labor negotiator, tells the newspaper. "It's never happened in my memory in a national agreement."
Precise results from the votes have yet to be released. CBS-TV has also reported that the tally is split.
The Soldiers of Solidarity, a splinter group within the UAW that has traditionally opposed concessions, published a laundry list of complaints about the tentative Chrysler contract on its website.
Among their complaints: No reparations are included for past concessions, no cost-of-living allowances, and no parity with the already-ratified Ford and General Motors contracts.
Chrysler's financial position is more precarious than its fellow automakers. It lost $254 million in the first half of 2011, while GM earned a profit of $5.7 billion and Ford earned $4.9 billion.
What comes next? That's unknown. Under terms of the federal bailout, Chrysler workers cannot strike, so it seems two options would constitute either a return to the bargaining table or binding arbitration.

Gopher frog (Rana sevosa)
GOPHER FROG: Mississippi's Most Endangered Frog
The Mississippi or "dark" gopher frog (Rana sevosa) is a rare and poorly studied amphibian whose historic geographic range once extended throughout the southeastern longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) forests of Mississippi and Louisiana. The number of breeding populations of gopher frogs has been drastically reduced; gopher frogs are now considered extinct in Louisiana, and although they were once abundant in coastal Mississippi, there is only a single pond in which they are now known to breed. Glen's Pond is located in Desoto National Forest in Harrison County where Glen Johnson, for whom the pond is named, and others found it while conducting surveys in Mississippi for gopher frogs. They found no other breeding sites for this rare frog and none have been found since.
Gopher frogs are secretive, winter-breeding frogs that breed only in very characteristic breeding sites throughout their range. The breeding ponds are typically located in upland, longleaf pine forests; they are relatively shallow, temporary ponds which lack fish and other large larval predators. Gopher frogs do not remain in these ponds throughout the year; they only come to them to breed and therefore must migrate to these sites from their non-breeding season habitat. During the non-breeding season, the frogs take residence in gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) burrows, old mammal burrows, and holes associated with dead trees. Because gopher frogs utilize these two very different habitat types, we must not only consider their breeding sites but also the area surrounding these ponds when planning for their conservation.
Glen's Pond is an ephemeral, ridge-top pond located in a long-leaf pine forest that fills through rain and runoff from the surrounding area. This type of breeding habitat is now very rare in Mississippi. Because they are located on ridge tops, roads are often built through these ponds and housing developments are common. In addition, the suitable habitat for gopher frogs has been greatly diminished due to intense logging and subsequent development of slash pine plantations in the long-leaf pine region. Gopher frogs are not only threatened by habitat loss, but by habitat fragmentation; that is, breeding sites are isolated due to development and roadways which can also lead to road mortality.
Glen's Pond is the only pond of its type in southern Mississippi and a large number of amphibians utilize this breeding site, including 13 species of frogs (including the rare ornate chorus frog, Pseudacris ornata) and one salamander. In addition, four other species of frogs, two species of salamanders, four species of turtles, fifteen species of snakes, and six lizard species have been found in and around Glen's Pond. Below is a complete list of the amphibians and reptiles that have been found at the pond:

The saga of Jill and Kent Easter, an attorney couple-turned-criminals over a spat with a parent at their child's Irvine elementary school, is made for the big screen, as in the farcical sitcom sequence in Natural Born Killers. Tonight, we'll have to settle for the small screen, but not in an over-the-top Lifetime movie as you might expect.
Not Free at Last! Kent Wycliffe Easter Taken into Custody for Drug-Planting Conviction
The Easter story will be featured on ABC's 20/20 at 10 p.m. "It's natural for parents to be concerned about their child's well being at school," reads the network's teaser, "but two California parents became so angry when their son wasn't ready and waiting for afternoon pick-up that police say they went to a whole new extreme."
When Jillianne "Jill" Bjorkholm Easter went to pick her son up at Plaza Vista School in Irvine that February 2010 day and discovered he was not with the normal group of students lined up waiting for parents, she asked parent volunteer Kelli Peters what was up. Peters explained her child was "slow," as in tardy in catching up with the other kids being picked up. Jill Easter took it as a slur against her prodigal son's intelligence and became enraged.
The Easters filed a civil suit against Peters that a judge tossed. Next the scheme was cooked up to plant marijuana, a pipe, Vicodin and Percocet in Peters' PT Cruiser on Feb. 16, 2011.
In advance of tonight's piece, ABC has posted Kent Wycliffe Easter's 9-1-1 call to Irvine Police about Peters. (Sorry, my computer and programs are too old for me to grab the embed code.) The call is mystifying as Easter claims to have seen a female parent driving erratically in her PT Cruiser before parking it at the school. Talking over the lady dispatcher, Easter blurts out, "Drugs." He goes on to describe seeing the driver place a paper bag behind her seat, then mentions pills. Can you read things into audio? Because it sounds to me like the dispatcher is dubious about what she is hearing.
BTW, anyone remember Easter's court testimony about not knowing drugs were planted in the car?
After he identifies himself with the Indian name of a neighbor, he is asked if he knows the identity of the parent driver. That's when he employs a hack Indian accent to say he thinks her name is "Kell-leee." Irvine cops later showed up at the school, looked in the back of the car and saw the bag of drugs, asked for a volunteer named Kelli and briefly detained Peters. Fortunately, their questioning led to the revelation that those wacky Easters must've tried to frame Peters. The capper: Police were able to trace the 9-1-1 call to the Island Hote, which is next to Kent Easter's then-law office.
On the eve of his first trial in November 2013, his wife pleaded guilty to falsely imprisoning Peters, and a judge sentenced Jill Easter to 120 days in jail and 100 hours of community service, a punishment she completed in early 2014. Her law license was suspended in March, but by then she already had a budding career as a crime novelist.
The jury was hung 11-1 in favor of conviction at Kent Easter's first trial. He claimed through his defense at retrial that he made the call to cops to please his wife, thinking it might save their marriage as she was off having an affair with an Orange County firefighter. (He also conceded being afraid of what she might do if he did not participate in the scheme, making one wonder why he'd want to please her.)
It didn't work. The jury in September found him guilty of false imprisonment by fraud and deceit, and Judge Thomas Goethals a month later sentenced Easter to six months in jail–minus 76 days already served–three years of probation and 100 hours of community service. He was also ordered to stay away from Kelli Peters and her family.
Goethals explained he spared Easter time in prison because the state might kick loose a more hardened criminal through early release to open up a bunk for the cuckold attorney.
"In a perfect world, a world of absolute justice, I would probably send you to prison largely as a statement of disgust at what you and your wife did," his honor told Easter.

Biosimilar bill defeated in Texas
WASHINGTON — Texas has become the latest state to defeat a bill that critics say would limit the reach of knock-off versions of biotech drugs.
Texas' state legislature defeated Senate Bill 190, which is similar to bills in other states that would make it harder for pharmacists to substitute biosimilars for branded biotech drugs. Similar bills have been defeated in Florida, Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Nevada and Washington. The bills in Virginia and Utah passed, but with sunset clauses that are expected to cause them to expire before biosimilars become available; only the bill in North Dakota passed intact, and five other states are considering them.
"Against great odds, key leadership stood firmly in favor of patient health and cost savings by stopping this legislation right in its tracks," Generic Pharmaceutical Association president and CEO Ralph Neas said. The GPhA, a trade group that represents generic drug makers, cited data from pharmacy benefit manager Express Scripts showing that biosimilar versions of 11 widely used biologics could save the U.S. healthcare system $250 billion between 2014 and 2024.
'Go Time' declared for NACDS Total Store Expo participants
ARLINGTON, Va. — With about 80 days until the launch of the first-ever NACDS Total Store Expo, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores is calling on participants to plan ahead to maximize their results from the innovative new strategic exchange and trade show. The inaugural event will debut August 10 to 13, 2013 at Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas.
Year-to-date retailer registration for the 2013 NACDS Total Store Expo stands 20% ahead of 2012 year-to-date retailer registration for the three NACDS conferences that formed the basis for the greatly expanded venue for conducting business: the Marketplace Conference, Pharmacy & Technology Conference and Supply Chain & Logistics Conference. The Exhibit Hall is more than 98% sold out.
"The laser now focuses on helping retailers and suppliers do the planning and execution that will help this amazing turnout translate to maximum results for their companies," said NACDS President and CEO Steve Anderson, IOM, CAE.
"From the first day that we announced the NACDS Total Store Expo, we emphasized that the innovative format would help business partners work together creatively across functions, and with the entire store in mind. It is now 'go time' to make and execute the plans that will deliver on the needs of consumers and pharmacy patients. It is time to schedule the meetings with the right combinations of team members to make a difference in new ways."
The website at tse.nacds.org includes state-of-the-art resources to help exhibitors and retailers plan effectively for the meeting. It includes video tutorials, preparation checklists, a meeting-scheduling tool and other resources and insights.
Also, a mobile app will foster success before and during the event. New features of the app include the ability to create a profile that will help participants link up correctly with their counterparts in partner companies, as well as GPS-based assistance in locating exhibitors on the show floor.
"The business potential at the NACDS Total Store Expo is shaping up just as the industry envisioned it," Anderson said. "Beyond the strategic exchange, NACDS has applied the same truly total store focus to the entire conference agenda — from the educational programming to special areas in the Exhibit Hall that will focus on innovation. The rewards for engaging in the right ways in the NACDS Total Store Expo will include business success, new insights, bold ideas and a creative vision for defining the future, and we look forward to hearing the results earned from the preparation that is being done by companies right now."
