Sadistic gang who forced vulnerable dad to eat his own testicle and have sex with a dog are jailed for 81 years
Jimmy Prout, 45, thought the group were his friends but they turned on him and eventually dumped his body on wasteland in North Tyneside
A SADISTIC gang who forced a dad to eat his own testicle during a horrific campaign of abuse have been caged for life.
Vulnerable Jimmy Prout, 45, thought the group were his friends but they turned on him and eventually dumped his lifeless body on wasteland just 100 metres from his home.
Mr Prout was also forced to have sex with ringleader Zahid Zaman's dog, the court heard.
The sadistic gang from North Tyneside carried out a campaign of "Dark Ages" abuse against Prout including knocking his teeth out with a hammer and chisel.
Twisted brute Zaman - known as Zed - was the scheming leader of the misfits, who lived in two houses on the same street in North Shields.
Most read in news
Ann Corbett, 26, who was in a relationship with Mr Prout, and Zaman, 43, were convicted of murder.
Today Mr Justice Dove branded ringleader Zaman an "evil, vindictive man" as he sentenced him to a minimum of 33 years behind bars.
Corbett was jailed for at least 27 years.
Myra Wood, 50, and Kay Rayworth, 56, were cleared of murder but convicted of causing or allowing the death of a vulnerable adult.
Wood was caged for nine years and Rayworth sentenced to 12 years and four months in jail.
All our already admitted perverting the course of justice.
Rayworth and Corbett, at Zaman's behest, even returned to the body to steal Jimmy's bank card to steal hundreds of pounds from his account.
Newcastle Crown Court heard the group of five had a strange relationship which had developed a "cultish dimension".
Paul Greaney QC, prosecuting, said: "In effect, over a period of time, Jimmy Prout was not just mistreated, he was tortured.
"In the end, this conduct was to cause the death of Jimmy Prout."
The sick group even removed one of Mr Prout's testicles with a blade and forced him to eat it.
Mr Greaney said Mr Prout died on February 9 2016, and his body was dumped on wasteland where it began to decompose and was partly eaten by animals.
The group then set about covering their tracks, pretending to look for Mr Prout by asking people if they had seen him, while secretly fleecing his bank account.
Zaman, who uses a wheelchair and was the leader of the group, was described as vengeful and controlling and determined to get his own back for a theft he believed Mr Prout had been involved with.
The jury were shown CCTV images, often taken from cameras Zaman had on his house, of the worsening condition of Mr Prout as the assaults continued.
Footage from October 18 2015 shows him walking and jogging.
But the next clip, from February 5 2016, showed him staggering along, being pushed by Corbett, before slumping on a fence.
Lastly the jury saw footage from 9.47pm on February 6 2016 in which all four defendants are seen with Mr Prout. He was in a "dreadful condition", supported by Corbett and Rayworth, as they walked him to number 75.
That was the last time he was seen on any footage and he is believed to have stayed there until his death on February 9.
Mr Prout was also posting pictures of his injuries on his own Facebook account at the time, with words such as "My bodie hurt" and "My sholder hurts".

Vol. 22, No. 2, Winter 2005.
Dear Colleagues
May I firstly thank you all for helping to make 2005 a good year for IACR by attending our conferences and workshops. Although the attendance at all three of our flagship conference reduced again this year, this was broadly in line with with our expectations and planning. Our workshops were well attended with both FSE and PKC reporting substantial increases in attendance on previous years and this shows a promising trend. In all cases our Program Chairs and their Committees delivered strong technical programmes. As a result IACR remains a strong organisation that is clearly focused on advancing research in the field and supporting you, our members.
2005 was a busy year in many respects, some of the key events included:
Eurocrypt 2005 was held in Aarhus, marking a return to Denmark after 15 years. In 1990 the General Chair was Peter Landrock and the Program Chair was Ivan Damgaard. This year Ivan moved roles to be our General Chair with Ronald Cramer as Program Chair. The event was most enjoyable, housed in Scandinavian Congress Center it provided us with an excellent setting for the presentation of the 2005 IACR Fellowships. These were awarded to Kevin McCurley, Gus Simmons and Jacques Stern all of whom joined us at the conference to receive their felllowship plaques in person. This conference seemed to mark the next stage of assaults on hash functions of which we would hear more at Crypto.
It was most unfortunate that the winner of the best paper at Crypto, Professor Xiaoyun Wang, was not granted a visa to visit the USA in time for Crypto. She was joint author of the first two papers in the conference, both on efficiently finding collisions in the SHA family of hash functions. On behalf of the Association I spent some considerable time in email and telephone discussions with the State Department of the USA firstly trying to "unblock" the granting of her visa, and subsequently trying to establish how to improve the protocol for overseas visitors (particularly Chinese) to the USA. I am acutely aware that while I was contacting the State Department there were many other senior and highly-respected members of our community also applying pressure to the US Government to resolve the situation. Unfortunately we were unsuccessful and Professor Wang could not attend Crypto. It seems clear that IACR and its members pressure is insufficient to speed up the processing of our conference delegates' visa applications - at least we now know how the protocol works and we should be able to guide delegates and authors more proactively in the future, but this situation remains one that we need to keep a careful eye on.
During the course of Crypto, we also learned of the death of Thomas Beth who passed away early in the morning of Wednesday, August 17 at the age of 55. Thomas organised the meeting in Burg Feuerstein in 1982 that was to lead to the series of conferences now known as "Eurocrypt". His passing means that the Association has lost a great character and a great researcher and pioneer.
But of course Crypto was not dominated by sadness, and the conference was host to Ralph Merkle's IACR Distinguished Lecture - and one that provided a unique insight into both early cryptographic history and the emergence of nanotechnology - only someone of Ralph's capabilities could have presented those two topics seamlessly in a single lecture!
At our membership meeting I was able to announce that I had reached an agreement with Alfed Hoffmann of Springer-Verlag that they would provide all our membership with free online access to all our publications - this produced rapturous applause from the meeting. I report on this matter later in this report.
This year Asiacrypt was held in India for the first time. The IACR was represented by our Vice-President Bart Preneel who is no stranger to the venue, Chennai. I was particularly saddened not to be able to attend (I have never been to India) and I understand that the scientific programme was of high quality and everything worked smoothly.
My Board colleagues report that our General Chair, Pandu Rangan faced many difficult challenges - there was a monsoon. Chennai was hard-hit, with 24 cm of rain in 24 hours. There was water in the streets, knee-deep in places, but this did not dent his organisational skills. One of our invited speakers could not attend - again no problem. Then the conference hotel was occupied by the India and Sri Lanka cricket sides, who had their match rained out for three of the five days. The lobby was full of fans and policemen. No problem. Then on the last day the conference venue was preempted by Bill Gates and a bunch of ministers, with all the attendant security cordons, so we had to switch to a nearby hotel. Again, no problem. All in all a very impressive performance - well done Pandu Rangan! Let's hope that our next Asiacrypts will be less eventful for the organisers.
TCC Conference
The Board of IACR is pleased to announce that the The Theory of Cryptology Conference is now an IACR sponsored event and is officially adopted within our workshop series of events.
The IACR election was held towards the end of the year with the results being extremely close - we welcome Yvo Desmedt, Stuart Haber and Antoine Joux to the Board for 2006 and bid a fond farewell to Ed Dawson, Jean-Jacques Quisquater and Rebecca Wright. Each of these departing individuals has contributed a great deal to the IACR in the past years and, on your behalf, I thank them for their efforts and continued support of our Association.
Online Access to Publications
Our relationship with Springer-Verlag who publishes both our Proceedings and our Journal remains strong and mutually beneficial. The most significant event that I am delighted to report is that Springer has now implemented a "Reading Room" dedicated to all IACR Conference and Workshop Proceedings. Currently the software is in the final stages of beta testing and you will all hear from our Membership Secretary early in the New Year when it goes live.
In closing this report, it only remains for me to thank you all for your continued interest and support for our Association - it is through you that IACR remains the premier organisation for cryptology in the world - thankyou.
Andy Clark
IACR President
December 2005
The 2005 election is now complete. Five candidates stood for the three open positions of Director. The three candidates with the highest number of votes were elected. These new directors whose terms will expire on 31 December 2008 are:
- Yvo Desmedt
- Stuart Haber
- Antoine Joux
The Revision of the bylaws also passed with 170 in favor, 45 against.
More information on this year's election is available here.
The issue of Visas to attend IACR events has become a significant issue. Both the next EUROCRYPT in St. Petersburg, Russia and CRYPTO in Santa Barbara, CA, USA require Visas for many to attend.
For information regarding obtaining a Russian visa, there are web sites for the Russian Consulates in UK and France. Note that the form for US and non-US citizens is different.
Information on the US visas can be found here, The time to obtain a US visa is variable, and may involve a visit to the Consulate for an interview. This has taken over 3 months for some individuals in the past. It is advisable to submit Visa applications as soon as possible to avoid last minute problems.
We hope that you will consider devoting some of your time and effort to nominating or endorsing an IACR-Fellow candidate. IACR members can nominate or endorse other IACR members for this prestigious position. Nominations and endorsements are due on December 31, 2005. More information can be found here.
Our Association has lost a great character and a great pioneer. The IACR president has written a brief note honoring the late Prof. Dr. Thomas Beth.

Finally warm weather!!!!
Tripawds is a user-supported community. Thank you for your support!
Izzy signing in!!!!
Oh boy, is it ever nice out. This past week has been great. Mom comes home from work takes us for a walk, our older brother Hank even gets to go 🙂 Hank and Mulligan run free in the field, but Mom thinks I will see something interesting and just run forever. Hmmm She is probably right. So, Mom puts me on a very long leash and I sure do wander and take in all the smells.
Mulligan is doing pretty good. Below is his first outing on the front porch. I am sure from now on, Mom will relax out there and I will come to visit. It is really nice on the porch, I just like being in my own area in the back yard. Oh yes, Mulligan is now 8 months old. He has spent half of his life with us. I am happy to have him with us.
Dad was so nice to me today, he put my drinking fountain outside for me. I just love having my own spiket of water to drink from. It is so fresh and cool. I am sure Mulligan will learn to use it too, that is ok. Like to share with him.
Mom and Dad have been busy getting my movable home ready. I think we are leaving for a week. It will be sooo much fun I can hardly wait, new smells, new sights.
That is it for now.
Until next time,

Mapmakers of the world, unite!
Such might be the cartographer's lament in these turbulent times. In the space of two days recently, a city of 5 million people changed its name and three new countries were recognized. Who knows what else might happen this week -- or next?
Rand McNally, the world's largest independent mapmaker, stopped the presses on its newest atlas.
The latest atlas of Hammond Inc., alas, was already done, but the company is not ripping up the pages. Instead, it will send out the books with a supplement to update them.

Devils bracing for red-hot Kings
If the New Jersey Devils are to break out of their recent funk, they'll have to do so against the hottest team in the NHL when they host the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
The Kings (20-8-3) are in the midst of a league-best eight-game winning streak. After missing the playoffs last season, the Kings sit atop the Pacific Division with 43 points, and their plus-29-goal differential is second-best in the NHL.
Tuesday's contest marks the first of a four-game East Coast road trip for the Kings that is not necessarily an advantage for New Jersey (16-9-4) since Los Angeles is 10-3-1 on the road and the Devils are only 6-5-2 at The Rock.
"It really doesn't matter what we've done to this point," Kings coach John Stevens told the team's website following practice on Monday. "This is an important trip to continue to get points and continue to try and play well and build our team game."
What the Kings have done recently is impressive. Their most recent defeat was Nov. 24, and they outscored the opposition 29-13 during the current winning streak. On Saturday, Tanner Pearson scored late in overtime to lead Los Angeles to its latest victory, 3-2 over the Carolina Hurricanes. Anze Kopitar picked up an assist and has nine points in the last five games.
That win Saturday also lifted the Kings to a 14-3-0 record against Eastern Conference teams and a perfect mark of 5-0-0 against teams from the Metropolitan Division, where the Devils reside.
"We just don't give up, whether we're down, whether we're up, and we're staying level -- not too high, no too up -- when things happen during games," explained Los Angeles defenseman Drew Doughty on the club's web site. "We have full confidence in our goaltending and we take pride in being a good defensive hockey team, and defense wins championships, so we're sticking to that."
It'll be up to the Devils to find a way to break through against the Kings, who own the league's best team defense, surrendering just 2.19 goals per game. New Jersey comes in having lost two straight and three of its last four, scoring only nine goals while allowing 16.
"We can't continue to make the same mistakes and put us in the same bad positions," Devils goalie Cory Schneider said after Monday's practice. "We haven't had our best recently, and we need a response from everybody."
New Jersey was outplayed in Saturday's 5-2 road loss to the New York Rangers. The previous night, the Devils surrendered an early 2-0 lead en route to a 5-3 loss on home ice to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
"Every team in the league goes through that at some point," New Jersey winger Taylor Hall said of losing two straight in regulation for the first time this season. "It's about how quickly you can nip it in the bud and really get that part out of your game."
The Devils may be without veteran forward Marcus Johansson against the Kings. He did not practice Monday because of a lower-body injury that is believed to be to his ankle. Johansson limped noticeably during the Rangers game.
Kyle Palmieri skated on his own before Monday's practice and remains out of the Devils lineup with a broken right foot.
Still, Stevens remains impressed with the Devils.
"They pose an interesting challenge," said Stevens. "I think they play a really fast skill game, but I think they play a really hard game, too. It's not surprising they're not going away."

Plattner, Karl Friedrich
PLATTNER, KARL FRIEDRICH (1800-1858), German metallurgical chemist, was born at Kleinwaltersdorf, near Freiberg in Saxony, on the 2nd of January, 1800. His father, though only a poor working miner, found the means to have him educated first at the Bergschule and then at the Bergakademie of Freiberg, and after he had completed his courses there in 1820 he obtained .employment, chiefly as assayer, in connexion with the royal mines and metal works. Having taken up the idea of quantitative mouth-blowpipe assaying, which was then almost unknown except that E. Harkort (1797-1835) in 1827, while a student in Freiberg Academy, had worked out a blowpipe assay for silver he succeeded in devising trustworthy methods for all the ordinary useful metals; in particular his modes of assaying for nickel and cobalt quickly found favour with metallurgists. He also devoted himself to the improvement of qualitative blowpipe analysis, and summed up his experience in a treatise Die Probierkunst mil dem Ldthrohr (1835), which became a standard authority. In 1840 he was made chief of the royal department of assaying. Two years later he was deputed to complete a course of lectures on metallurgy at the Bergakademie in place of W. A. Lampadius (1772-1842), whom he subsequently succeeded as professor. He died at Freiberg on the 22nd of January 1858.
In addition to many memoirs on metallurgical subjects he also published Die metallurgischen Rostprocesse theoretisch betrachtet (1856), and posthumously Vorlesungen uber allgemeine Huttenkunde (1860).

A few minutes after the sun finally set in Brooklyn, Lila Downs hit the stage backed by a 7-piece band, delivering a high-energy set that included many songs from the soon-to-be-unreleased Shake Away (Manhattan Records) and some material from her previous discs. The audience, which was mostly made up of Latino fans, cheered loudly as she began "Tacha," an upbeat ranchera from 2006's La Cantina, and also welcomed "Tierra de Luz," a song that she recorded as a duet with Argentinean singer Mercedes Sosa.
One of the most interesting moments of the concert came when she performed "Minimum Wage," a tune from the new disc that speaks of the hardships of the illegal immigrants who
cross the desert in search of a better life for themselves and their families. On the screen behind her, the lyrics streamed both in English and in Spanish. In a live format, the tune
had a bit of a New Orleans feel thanks to the presence of guest trumpeter Brian Lynch, who added improvised riffs that took the tune to a different level.
Another highlight came with "La Iguana," which showcased the talents of harpist Edmar Castaneda, who began the tune with an incredibly dexterous solo that drew loud applause
from the audience. The band followed that with "La Cucaracha," the famous traditional
tune about a cockroach who can no longer walk because it doesn't have "the marijuana
to smoke."
Downs is a gifted vocalist – not only does she have have great vocal range, she also
has incredible lungs – she is able to hold a note for a very long period of time, as she
showed in many of the songs on the set, including the uptempo "La Cumbia del Mole," which prompted a few fans to clim

Tell us about your book
It's a simplified, to the point, set of instructions for creating your very own flexible dieting approach for your fitness goals.
It covers all the major aspects of dieting in general and should hopefully leave the reader very capable of achieving their goals without any further assistance.
There are no harsh rules or limitations present with most other dieting approaches. Instead, it's "flexible", allowing people to personalize the way they handle it.
Did you incorporate any real life experiences or settings into your book?
All the information is based on my personal experiences, as well as the information provided by current scientific understanding on the topic. That allows me to very confidently say that this approach "works" for all.
Who do you go to for feedback during the editing process? Beta readers? Critique group? Friends? Family? Editor? All of the above?
Due to being involved in various publishing and book promotion communities, I was able to gather a good number of people to help me finish the book. They gave me a lot of good feedback and really allowed the book to achieve a much higher quality.
I decided against getting an editor due to financial reasons. I felt that with the help of my beta readers I could achieve a decent level of writing quality. As the book is Non-Fiction, it doesn't have to deal with the complications of advanced storytelling and grammar.
Describe an average writing day. Do you have any rituals and schedules?
I'm still a very inconsistent writer. I rely more of flashes of inspiration and for the mood to strike. I know it's a very ineffective writing method and it takes a while to get anything done, but it's a struggle to change this mindset. I'm working on it though.
I'm currently trying to set up a separate room for writing and I'm hoping that once it's ready, my writing schedule can finally become something more consistent.
I'd really love to be able to consistently put in a couple of hours a day towards writing a book. I have several ideas written down that are just sitting there because of my inability to really get going.
How long have you been writing, and where do you see your career in 5 years? 10 years?
I've been writing for a couple of years now. Started with writing articles in various fitness themed blog sites. In 5 years, I hopefully have at least a dozen books out in various different genres and I hope to have my own "start to finish" publishing/promotion business.
In 10 years – who knows. But I'd like to have "retired" at that point, being able to focus on different hobbies and writing only when the mood strikes, without any pressure.
The way this business works right now, is that you need to keep writing, keep promoting, keep putting in the effort every single day or you risk having your potential readers move on to other books and authors. Only a few authors manage to write a book that becomes a big enough of a hit to sustain itself without the daily effort being put in by the author.
You got to love a cover that shows a woman running with a hot dog in her hand!

September 6, 1862 (Saturday)
With the Rebels crossing the Potomac about twenty miles upstream from Washington, even General George B. McClellan knew something had to be done. With General-in-Chief Henry Halleck urging him to move as quickly as possible, McClellan did what came naturally to him: organizing.
The Armies of the Potomac and Virginia had been mashed together as John Pope retreated back to Washington following the debacle of Second Manassas. Even before he was officially relieved of command, McClellan began the task of putting together a new Army of the Potomac; a fine fighting outfit comprised of units picked by the General himself.
The corps and divisions chosen by McClellan were enlarged, bringing the army's total to 85,000 men in five corps. Only six of the sixteen divisions were with him on the Virginia Peninsula. The rest came from operations in Western Virginia, the coast of North Carolina, and Pope's Army of Virginia.
To defend Washington, he left 72,500 men – more than adequate for the task. He seemed to have learned some very valuable lessons since his excursion to the Peninsula.1
McClellan also wanted the charges against Generals Porter, Franklin, and Griffin to be suspended. All three were accused of disobeying John Pope's orders during the battle of Second Manassas. In fact, one of the main reasons Pope was given for his dismissal from command was so he could testify against the three questionable Generals.
McClellan wrote to both Lincoln and Halleck, in hopes of getting his way, that the charges against them be "suspended until I have got through with the present crisis." He had already passed this by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton. Lincoln handed off the decision to Halleck, who allowed Porter, Franklin and Griffin to resume their old commands.2
The release of these three Generals left Washington without a reason to keep General John Pope around. In the Cabinet meeting, Lincoln spoke highly of him. Pope was brave, said Lincoln, patriotic. He had done his duty. The problem wasn't Pope, resolved the President, but "army prejudice against him." It was because of this that he had to leave.3
Out in the West, the Dakota Sioux Uprisings weren't going away. Governors from Wisconsin and Minnesota were both urging Washington to send back the troops they had given to the armies in the east. What the situation needed was a fine general. And here was John Pope, with a calendar as wide open as the West itself.4
"You will receive herewith an order of this Department constituting you commander of the Department of the Northwest," came the orders from Secretary of War Stanton. Pope was to leave immediately and establish his headquarters at St. Paul, Minnesota. Stanton wanted him to "take such prompt and vigorous measures as shall quell the hostilities and afford peace, security, and protection to the people against Indian hostilities."
The wording of the order gushed praise and admiration. Stanton opined that the situation required "the attention of some military officer of high rank, in whose ability and vigor the Government has confidence."5
But Pope could easily see through Stanton's inane platitudes. He was being exiled to the West. That evening, he retired to Willard's Hotel to drown his grief. He would leave for St. Paul three days later.6
While Pope packed his bags, McClellan shifted his new Army of the Potomac to the northern defenses of Washington. The Confederate Army of Northern Virginia was almost entirely on the northern side of the Potomac River, establishing itself in Frederick. Presently, their line formed along the banks of the Monocacy River. Aside from some cavalry, they had no brushes at all with the Federal forces.7

Two of the most powerful men in the world came face to face at the G20 summit in Hangzhou, China, and gave a whole new meaning to the phrase Cold War — at least if this iconic photograph is anything to go by.
U.S. President Barack Obama met with Russian President Vladimir Putin for 90 minutes on the sidelines of the summit to discuss a host of global issues, including the Syrian civil war, which has further sharpened divisions between Moscow and Washington for years.
Following the informal "pull-aside" meeting, Obama revealed he and Putin talked about how they could reach "a meaningful, serious, verifiable cessation of hostilities in Syria" and about the situation in Ukraine, which Russia invaded in 2014.
The two world leaders also discussed alleged Russian cyber attacks on America, with Obama likening the internet to a dangerous weapon.
"What we cannot do is have a situation in which this suddenly becomes the wild, wild West, where countries that have significant cyber capacity start engaging in unhealthy competition or conflict through these means," the president told the media later.
He also described the chat as "candid, blunt and businesslike," acknowledging it did not yield any major breakthrough and that "gaps of trust" remain between the two.
"We can say that our mutual work with the U.S. in fighting terrorist organizations, including in Syria, will be significantly improved and intensified," Putin said at a press conference. "I think we managed to get to an understanding of one another and to an understanding of the problems that we are facing."
None of it sounds very encouraging — and the picture of two presidents staring each other down sums up the entire thing quite perfectly.
The icy standoff between the two presidents also sparked a well-deserved Photoshop battle on Reddit.
Here are few of the most interesting creations:
At least Obama and Putin did not look as unimpressed with each other as they did at the G8 meeting in 2013.

NDA & Non-Compete Agreements
Confidentiality Agreements or Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) are agreements between two or more parties that identifies confidential materials or knowledge the parties wish to share with one another for certain purposes, but wish to restrict access and maintain confidences. An NDA creates a confidential relationship between the parties to protect any type of confidential and proprietary information or a trade secret. As such, an NDA protects non-public information. For example, NDAs may be used to maintain confidential material disclosed by an inventor, to protect sensitive government data on government contracts to independent providers (e.g., primes and subcontractors), and to protect trade secret information learned by an employee during the course and scope of work.
Many large businesses or government entities will not use an NDA prepared by an outside business. Instead, large businesses and government entities will insist on using their own NDA. In general, use of the large business' or government entity's NDA is fine; however, careful attention is necessary to ensure that the parties understand the terms of the NDA, as well as the consequences if there is a breach.
The most significant key points to protect the disclosing party include:
- the receiving party agrees not to make, use, or sell the disclosed information without first entering into an agreement with you to do so;
- the receiving party agrees not to disclose the information received to any third party without your prior written consent;
- the receiving party agrees to return any and all materials and information related to the disclosed information to you within a stated period of time;
- the receiving party agrees not to compete with the disclosing party for products and services of the disclosed information for a reasonable amount of time (also referred to as a Non-Compete Agreement); and
- the receiving party agrees not to duplicate, copy or replicate in any manner the information and materials provided.
The following protections for the receiving party are reasonable, and, when applicable, such clauses release the receiving party from certain or even all of the requirements of the NDA as set forth below:
- the information at the time of the disclosure is in the public domain;
- the information becomes part of the public domain following the disclosure by any means other than a breach of this agreement by the receiving party;
- the information was known to the receiving party prior to receipt of it, provided such prior knowledge can be adequately substantiated; and
- the information becomes known to the receiving party from an unrelated source without any restrictions on use and disclosure.
NDAs are a significant part of an overall intellectual property protection strategy. However, in order to ensure the best possible protection, NDAs should be used in a strategic approach to disclosure that includes other measures and we recommend further consultation with a skilled intellectual property attorney.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) May 04, 2014
McCann Investigations, a company in Texas that provides trusted digital security and private investigations services to clients in a wide range of industries, announced that it uses some of today's most cutting-edge technologies to find evidence in intellectual property theft cases.
The theft of intellectual property occurs when someone steals or misappropriates ownership of an idea, blueprint, recipe, trademark, copyright, design or more. This crime can be extremely harmful to businesses both large and small and requires the services of a skilled investigator to solve.
"We understand the frustration and anger in our clients when they discover that someone has stolen their intellectual property," said Daniel Weiss, Managing Partner at McCann Investigations. "The technology that we have at our disposal ensures that we can quickly get to the bottom of these cases and put a stop to the theft and the harmful effects it has had on our clients."
One common method of investigating these types of crimes is to conduct a thorough digital forensics analysis. McCann's Austin investigators delve through computers and mobile devices in hopes of extracting evidence from texts, emails, social media, calendars, documents and more. The case could hinge on evidence found in digital formats, and McCann's investigators have a significant amount of experience in this type of investigation.
The investigators also use a variety of covert surveillance and remote viewing tools to track the daily activities of the investigation target, searching for any evidence of guilt.
"Every company should be proactive in its approach to intellectual property theft," said Weiss. "Our investigators are ready and waiting to assist you with your case in any way possible."

The Alaskan Klee Kai is very curious, active, quick and agile. His loyalty and alertness make the Alaskan Klee Kai an excellent watchdog who may be territorial despite his small size. While affectionate with family members, the Alaskan Klee Kai is reserved and cautious with strangers and in unfamiliar situations.
The Alaskan Klee Kai may be the perfect dog for some people, but it isn't a dog for everyone. Here's some things you should consider before bringing an AKK into your home. Like most dogs, without proper training they can be very destructive chewers, they are highly intelligent so the become bored easily. They seem to have an almost endless amount of energy and spend a lot of it getting into trouble unless you have the time to teach them appropriate ways of disposing of it. Chewing is one thing they will do to burn off energy, so is digging.

The difference in local relapse rates is large enough that oncologists need to discuss the issue with patients, but not so large that it should be a bar to breast-conserving surgery for black women, said Meena Moran, M.D., of Yale, at the American Society for Therapeutic Radiation and Oncology meeting.
After 10 years, she said, 17% of black women treated at Yale had a local relapse, compared with 13% of white women -- a difference that was statistically significant at P=0.045.
"The magnitude of increase in risk is relatively small," Dr. Moran said, "so that conservative therapy remains a reasonable option."
She added that close monitoring and careful follow-up is important for black women who get such therapy.
The finding comes from a cohort of 2,382 women treated with radiation and conservative surgery at Yale between 1975 and 2003, with black women making up 9% of the study population.
Dr. Moran said the study showed that treatment was appropriate for pathologic status and did not differ significantly by race. And black women appeared to have similar access to care, she added.
But the study found other significant differences between black and white women:
- Black women tended to have cancers with a higher tumor stage. For instance, 32% of black women had a T2 tumor at diagnosis, compared to 18% of whites, which was significant at P<0.01.
- 32% of black women were node-positive at diagnosis, compared with 24% of whites, which was significant at P<0.038.
- Black women were more likely to be estrogen receptor-negative -- 54% versus 36% -- which was significant at P<0.01.
- Black women were more likely to be progesterone receptor-negative -- 58% versus 47% -- which was significant at P<0.017.
- And they were more likely to be "triple-negative" -- negative for the estrogen and progesterone receptors and the HER2/neu gene -- at 21% versus 8%. The difference was significant at P=0.013.
The study "confirms yet again that African-American women do worse, but it's only a little bit worse," according to Anthony Zietman, M.D., of Harvard, who was not involved in the study.
"The message for physicians is that you really have to hang on to these patients," he said. "You can't let them drift away."
|The study had no external financing. Dr. Moran reported no conflicts.

A bid to change the EU treaty to resolve the eurozone debt crisis has foundered at a crunch summit in Brussels, after Britain refused to sign up without major concessions in return.
The key item on the agenda was a Franco-German plan on a tighter fiscal controls with automatic penalties for eurozone nations that overspend.
Reports say Berlin and Paris failed to secure backing from all 27 EU members to change the bloc's treaties to proceed with reforms.
Herman Van Rompuy, president of the European Council, the president of the European Council, said the 17 eurozone states, plus six other EU states, would press ahead with a treaty among themselves.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy said early he would have preferred a treaty among all the members of the EU, but he could not because of the British position. He said the new accord should be ready by March.
Sarkozy said "we could not accept" the British proposal that they be exempted from certain financial regulation because a lack of sufficient regulation caused the current problems.
Al Jazeera's Tim Friend, reporting from Brussels, said: "It's now pretty clear, they have been unable to reach a concensus amongst the 27 EU members, so they might now carve an agreement amongst the 17 nation eurozone members."
Repeated warnings
With the euro already down against the dollar and stocks hit hard from New York to Tokyo, Prime Minister Donald Tusk of current EU chair Poland had warned beforehand that failure to convince Britain to sign up would mean the "coffin"
for a post WWII EU integration.
After repeated warnings from London, the decision to change track came after British Prime Minister David Cameron demanded paybacks such as a veto on EU financial regulation that partners were not prepared to grant.
Cameron has vowed to protect the City of London, with France and Germany leading EU moves to impose a financial transactions tax which the British prime minister says would hit the UK the hardest.
"We've always said we would do it at 17 if it didn't work at 27. That's what happened," one senior EU diplomat told the Reuters news agency.
The summit agreed on automatic sanctions for euro area deficit offenders unless three-quarters of states vote against the move, and approved a new fiscal rule on balanced budgets to be written into national constitutions.
After nearly 10 hours of talks running into the early hours of Friday morning, they also decided that the currency bloc's future permanent bailout fund, the ESM, would be capped at 500 billion euros, as Germany had insisted.
It will also not get a banking licence, which would have allowed it to draw on European central Bank (ECB) funds to increase its firepower, another move Germany objected to.
'Golden rule'
The summit in Brussels appeared to have already been undermined early on Thursday by an ECB warning that there will be no big boost in rescue funding.
On Thursday, leaders took tentative steps to implement a so-called "golden rule" asking countries to set balanced budgets until debt levels drop, although this was only agreed "in principle" with political wriggle room remaining, diplomats said.
Difficult talks running overnight began on a sour note when ECB president Mario Draghi, who joined pre-summit negotiations with a restricted power group of Germany, France and leading EU officials, sent stock markets falling.
Draghi said hoped-for ECB action to buy up the sovereign bonds of debt-wracked countries was "limited" and "temporary".
Over the past two years, bond traders have driven up borrowing costs for a succession of eurozone countries.

Note: This is just a review. For the official site visit: http://www.feastyourfataway.com
Feast Your Fat Away is a fat loss program created by Nate Miyaki that is primarily focused on diet/nutrition aimed at helping people effectively achieve any fat loss goal. I decided to review it because it addresses some of the issues that this site is dedicated to teaching about and many conventional diet plans tend to ignore. Such as the consequences of very low calorie dieting, losing fat without losing muscle and staying lean permanently.
We all know the huge importance of diet for accomplishing any weight loss goals and body composition improvement. Not only is giving adequate attention to your diet crucial for losing weight, but also the the type of eating plan that you choose to use can make a huge difference in the type of results that you get or if you get any results at all. That's the reason it's good to learn about different diet plans put on the market to know what they are all about, their methodology and the results that they promise?
What Is Feast Your Fat Away Basically About?
The program is based on certain methods and strategies that Nate Miyaki believe will maximize your body composition results, reduce the consequences of caloric restriction and eventually lead to permanent fat loss success. Feast Your Fat Away provide expert guidance and information on certain nutritional factors that many people may ignore or misconceive that Nate see as crucially important to succeed in getting a lean and trimmed body.
The Carbohydrate Issue
One of the main element the program focus on is carbs in the diet. Nate explains in the Feast Your Fat Away program that while many people believe that removing carbs from their diet is the right thing to do in order to lose weight, this approach would actually hurt their results and cause negative effects even if their diet contains healthy foods exclusively. He mentioned the number of bad things that can happen to your body when you misjudge your nutrition needs and remove all carbs in your eating plan.
Therefore, the program gives some really helpful advice on the low-carb approach to dieting. And it provide guidance on strategic selection and timing of your carbs as the better way to make progress in your fat loss endeavors and get the right type of results. Interestingly, the main idea behind the Feast Your Fat Away nutrition program is consuming your largest carb-rich meal close to your bedtime while minimizing carbs intake during the day.
Despite that his diet method is based on eating less for the day and more for the night, Nate promise that you'll be feeling full, satisfied, energetic, mentally focused and happy throughout the day once you follow the program correctly. He also point out the social benefits and convenience that you'll get from this very flexible eating plan.
What Else You'll Get With The Program?
Solid advice and strategic guidelines on carbohydrates intake is just one topic that make up the Feast Your Fat Away program. There are a whole lot more to learn and do. You'll actually get 15 lessons on 15 separate topics to help you plan and customize your diet for permanent fat loss. But the program is not aimed at just helping you lose fat, it's also aimed at helping you improve the way you feel and perform in your daily life.
Who Should Use Feast Your Fat Away?
Everyone who have any fat loss goal can use this program and I expect that you'll get good results once you adhere to it properly. Because honestly instead of avoiding all carbs, selecting and manipulating carbs correctly has been shown to be a very effective method for losing fat and preventing most of the negative effects that can be experience from prolonged dieting. Nate Miyaki is also a very credible expert when it comes to nutrition and fitness.
Nate surpass most fitness experts or fitness program creators level of credibility. He has the certifications, the knowledge, the experience, the body and he even have the wife to prove that he is able to teach and guide you to succeed in transforming your body from fat to lean and cut.
If you know the basics on how to lose fat you'll be aware that a calorie deficit is the biggest fundamental law for fat loss, but the method that you use to create the deficit could be different and it's a very important factor for everyone. I must admit that Feast Your Fat Away use a very good method that could work effectively for anyone to get lean and stay lean for life. And knowing what Nate Miyaki already achieved in the fitness community, I give Feast Your Fat Away the green light.

Arriva London helps a retired bus driver make his dream come true
Arriva London values its role in the community and values the relationship that it develops with bus drivers across the country. We recently received a request passed on by TfL and, as all the elements were right at the time, decided to help make a bus driver's dream come true.
It started with a note from the driver's daughter Sam:
My Dad, Mr Ken Shipp, drove a Routemaster bus for London Transport for over 15 years, working out of Tramway Avenue. Back in 1988, our family relocated to Norfolk and my dad took a small break and then returned to drive a double-decker bus in Norwich in 1994. Finally, nearly 67 years old, dad has decided to retire from bus driving. He hangs the driving wheel up on Thursday 2nd June after driving for First Group for exactly 22 years to the day . His memories of London Transport along with the people he worked with are amazing, my memories as a child were fantastic of my dad driving a bus, and on many occasions my mum would take my sister and I into London just so we got a ride on his bus.
My family and I would love to surprise my dad and hope someone at TFL can help us make it possible for my dad to drive one of the new Routemaster buses (just a short trip obviously). Dad's licence does not expire until the middle of August, just in case the question arises. We are planning a trip to London on Thursday 4th August, to hope we could surprise him.
And surprise him we did on 4th August, with a New Routemaster to drive and Perry, one of Arriva London's driver trainers to supervise his drive. First, Perry gave him some 'Type' training at Arriva's Edmonton garage, then an obstacle course was put out to test Ken's abilities, and finally he drove to Tottenham garage via Tramway Avenue with his family on board.
Perry was very impressed with his driving and awarded him a special certificate for his endeavours. Ken was really impressed with the New Routemaster and said:
"I've had a fantastic day thanks to Arriva. The new Routemaster bus is such a smooth drive and such a difference from the old Routemasters I used to drive. It's a day I'll never forget"
Ken's daughter was full of praise as well:
"Words escape me as to the amazing time we all had today. Dad was non-stop talking about it all afternoon. I just can't thank you enough for everything you did to put this together for us all. We all can't thank you and Perry enough."

I think of myself as that rare species: a jocknerd. At any given moment, my iPhone has about 20 podcasts on it, roughly evenly divided between National Public Radio and sports talk shows. (How's this for nerdy? I know that my round-trip bicycle commute to work is almost exactly the same amount of time as one episode of the NPR news quiz show "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.")
You may have heard of one of the sports shows I used to listen to, "Into the Night with Tony Bruno." The host was in the news not long ago for making an inexcusable, racist remark on Twitter about a Hispanic baseball player. (He stupidly called San Francisco Giants pitcher Ramon Ramirez an "illegal alien.") The show followed a familiar arc after this sort of controversy: Tony apologized, was suspended for a week, came back for a little while, and then just this past Friday, the show aired its final episode.
I was disappointed that Tony Bruno made that boneheaded comment, not only because it was indeed a boneheaded comment, but I liked his show. Also he is a Philly guy and he openly roots for Philly teams, unlike "Wait, Wait" host Peter Sagal, a confirmed Red Sox fan.
Tony and his show's executive producer Robin Austin (known to fans as Miss Robin) were quite good at interacting with fans—on air, on Facebook, or in person during occasional broadcasts from sites like restaurants, bars, casinos, or whatever. (The photo here is of Robin and Tony at the 2010 Harold Pump Foundation Gala, honoring Muhammad Ali, Denzel Washington, and Hank Aaron.)
Here's where my weird connection to the show—and Tony Bruno's connection to Interpretation By Design—begin.
Before the whole "illegal alien" controversy, I had emailed Miss Robin links to IBD posts (once to an article about Mr. Peanut and again to the now-infamous baseball flowchart), and she was kind enough to post them to her show's Facebook page.
Then, one day, Miss Robin emailed me out of the blue with this question: "You do graphic design, right?" I was surprised when Miss Robin asked if I'd like to help them come up with a new logo for their show. They were changing from "Into the Night with Tony Bruno" to "The Tony Bruno Show" and wanted a new identity.
Robin emailed some thoughts about the logo ("Tony likes blue") and I jumped at the opportunity to design something. To start the ball rolling, I sent the sketches above. I chose a bold, slab-serif typeface, because when I listened to Tony on the radio, that's the sort of typeface I pictured his words in. (That's normal, right? Doesn't everyone do that? When Shea talks, I hear Curlz MT.) The little microphone image in the sketch on the left is not original; it's an image I found online and used as a placeholder.
Miss Robin wrote back that they liked the direction I was going, but they did not like the typeface or the microphone. ("We like the direction you're going" is client code for "Why did you send this to us?")
Miss Robin sent some examples of fonts that they liked from the site www.1001freefonts.com, so I mocked up some new ideas and sent the above. According to Miss Robin, however, Tony worried that the O of Bruno was not reading as an O ("The Tony Brun Show"), so again I got the the professional equivalent of It's not you, it's me—"We like the direction you're going."
After a few drafts and a couple email exchanges, Miss Robin felt guilty and apologized for being a "horrible client." I did not tell her that I once worked on a logo project that took six years to get approved.
So I mocked up the above with yet another microphone that I reappropriated (design-speak for "stole") from some random website (just as a placeholder, mind you). We settled on the typeface Dubba Dubba, which I liked for this project because the show took place at night and I think the typeface has a late-night cabaret feel to it. At Miss Robin's request, I added some bevel and emboss effects to create a three-dimensional effect.
To my surprise, Miss Robin wrote back, "By George, I think you've got it! I love it, and more importantly, Tony loves it!" I set to work on replacing the stolen microphone image with an original (though it is still based on the found one) and submitted this:
Shortly after all of this, Tony Bruno's future with the show was called into question and the logo never saw the light of day (until this post). Still, there were some valuable lessons to take from the experience. (Lesson #1: If you're a public figure, hire a Twitter editor.)
Working with a client who has a clear, specific idea of what they want can be challenging. I actually liked my initial sketch better than any of the subsequent iterations, but because I would not have to live with the final result of this project the same way I do with materials that I create for my regular job at NAI, it was a little easier to take direction. (Blue? Sure! That font? Sure! 3D effects? Sure!)
Ultimately, it was an interesting and surprisingly enjoyable process, collaborating on a design project with people I know only as radio personalities. Of course, if Miss Robin had come to me looking for Comic Sans and type on a curve, I'd have had to put my Jean-Luc Picard face on: "The line must be drawn here!"
And now I'm off to listen to This American Life. I love listening to Ira Glass speak in 10-point Rockwell Light.
