A teenaged victim of a BDSM orgy at her birthday party admitted in court Wednesday that she has lied about details of the horrific sexual abuse and that her memory is blurry.
The now 30-year-old testified Tuesday that her 13th birthday party celebrations in Oct. 2001 climaxed in an orgy orchestrated by her twisted mom and stepdad.
She identified the BDSM enthusiast who joined her family orgy as "Scotdom" — which stands for Scottish dominant — as Martin Galloway.
Her identity is covered by a publication ban.
Galloway, a 48-year-old former Scottish police officer and commercial photographer in London, Ont., has pleaded not guilty to the sexual assault charge.
Under skillful cross-examination by Galloway's lawyer Daniel Brown, the alleged victim conceded her memories are obscured by the extremely traumatic ordeal, the passage of time and the years of abuse.
The witness also admitted she lied in her original 2008 police statement — deleting her mother's involvement — to shield her from prosecution.
The witness later revised her version and implicated her mother, who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing her children and is now serving a five-year prison sentence.
The stepfather, who has already served a lengthy prison sentence for sexually abusing the witness, groomed her for sex and she saw him violate both her younger siblings.
Brown said the witness' memory was compromised by a host of factors.
"One of the reasons it's a blur is the long passage of time," suggested Brown to the witness. She agreed.
"The other reason is these events were very traumatic and you've seen it impact your memory," asked Brown.
She concurred.
The prosecution is asserting that Galloway was one of a trio of BDSM colleagues — including former Degrassi High actor Jason Dickens — who exploited the girl between Jan. 1, 2000 and Dec. 31, 2006.
Last October, Dickens, 48, pleaded guilty to child pornography offences in connection with the case, including two counts of making child porn.
Brown suggested that Galloway was the boyfriend of the alleged victim's mother whom the witness knew as "Martin."
Galloway frequented the woman's home for BDSM romps with mom while the stepfather was away driving long-distance truck hauls for weeks at a time in 2000, court heard.
Brown suggested the witness mixed up her 13th birthday with her 15th birthday when Dickens was the culprit. The lawyer suggested Galloway never molested her.
The witness denied it. The trial resumes Thursday.

Apple Shares Skid 4% in Heavy Trade
Shares of Apple Inc tumbled 4% in heavy, midday trading on Wednesday, rounding off a bleak ten weeks for the most valuable company in the United States, with analysts citing a mix of reasons for the drop.
Continue Reading Below
The stock was one of the biggest percentage losers on the S&P 500, dropping 4.2% to $551.50 as more than 17 million shares changed hands, putting it on track to surpass the company's average daily volume over 50 days of 21 million shares.
The stock's massive size meant the retreat was responsible for two-thirds of the 1.1% decline in the Nasdaq 100 Index on Wednesday.
Analysts gave different reasons for the decline. Some cited a research report saying the company will lose share in the tablet computer space next year. Others cited reports of higher margin requirements at clearing firms, and several investors said uncertain tax rates on capital gains in 2013 prompted selling.
"Depending on what happens with the (U.S. fiscal negotiations), rates could rise next year or they could stay the same," Brian Battle, director of trading at Performance Trust Capital Partners in Chicago, said. "They will not be lower, so if you're an investor who has seen gains in Apple, it is better to take those gains this year rather than next."
Apple is still up 36 percent so far this year, but has been weak recently, dropping into bear market territory. The stock is now down nearly 22% from its all-time high of $705.07 a share of September 21.
On Wednesday, research firm International Data Corp said Apple would shed market share in the tablet computer space for all of 2012, with consumers favoring devices that run on Google's Android platform instead of Apple's popular iPad product line.
Apple's worldwide tablet market share would slip to 53.8% in 2012 from 56.3 percent in 2011, while Android products would increase their share to 42.7 percent from 39.8 percent, IDC said.
Separately, Nokia is to partner with China Mobile, the world's biggest mobile operator, in a sales deal that will give the Finnish company an opportunity to win back Chinese market share from Apple's iPhone.
"This is not going to be a short-term trend. This is a management test, of how well they can perform without (deceased former chief executive) Steve Jobs," said Battle.
Referring to one of Apple's most recent product launches, a version of the iPad that was smaller but not a new product category, Battle said Apple would need "another home run" for shares to return to levels around $700.
"They need another new product that hits it out of the park. Without that, they could get a gradual grind-down in confidence," he said.
Some analysts suggested that investors also sold shares of Apple amid uncertainty over ongoing fiscal negotiations in Washington. If no agreement is reached on the issue, higher taxes on dividends and capital gains are possible in 2013. That has prompted some investors to lock in profits now, particularly on a stock like Apple, which has posted gains of at least 25% for four consecutive years.
Tax selling "can take a life of its own," said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment officer of Solaris Group in Bedford Hills, New York.
"Some taxable investors take the gains, that creates some negative momentum, institutional investors are heavily weighted the stock and reduce exposure."

Perhaps more than any factor, the stability of Rochester's real estate market has helped the local economy to outperform many other metropolitan areas in the recovery from the Great Recession. The latest Zillow Negative Equity Report shows that Rochester continues to stand apart, to its advantage.
In the three months ended Sept. 30, home values nationwide had the biggest quarterly gain since 2006. As a result, underwater mortgages declined-from nearly 31 percent of homes with a mortgage in the preceding quarter to 28.2 percent.
In metro Rochester, however, the figure was 11.5 percent, down from 13.2 percent three months earlier. The third-quarter number was the lowest negative equity rate here since 2010.
In addition to being less than half of the national average, Rochester's rate is lower than any of the 30 largest U.S. metro regions, which include Atlanta (50.4 percent), Phoenix (45.5 percent) and Las Vegas (63 percent).
More than a few economists think the Obama administration's biggest mistake in managing the recovery has been doing too little to reduce the mortgage debt overhang.
"Negative equity appears to be a bigger problem than economists had realized," said Christina Romer, the president's former top economic adviser, in a December 2011 speech.
The administration's chief housing focus as the economy turned around was preventing foreclosures; since relatively few underwater mortgages result in foreclosure, tackling negative equity was not a policy priority.
But as Ms. Romer explained, research now shows that household debt-which is predominantly mortgage debt-has a major chilling effect on consumer spending. "(This) suggests that policy may need to be more focused on reducing principal on troubled mortgages," she said.
As noted here more than a year ago, economist Martin Feldstein has outlined an interesting proposal: a voluntary program in which government and lenders agree to split the cost of reducing mortgages to 110 percent of the homes' values. But there's no shortage of ideas.
What's lacking is the necessary focus-and political will-to deal with the mortgage debt overhang. And unfortunately, with the fiscal cliff looming, that's unlikely to change anytime soon.

Item #0302
65-70 days. Deliciously mild beet that doesn't stain like reds! 'Golden Boy' is a stunning golden-orange fleshed beet with bright green leaves, uniform globes and refined taproots. Strong, upright stems make for an attractive bunch. Sweetest and most tender when young. Greens are also tender and delicious.
This packet sows up to 37 ft.
Seedling Image
Days to Emerge:
Seed Depth:
Seed Spacing:
Row Spacing:
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 2 to 4 weeks before average last frost, when soil temperature is at least 45°F, ideally 60°-85°F, for early summer crop. 6 to 8 weeks before first fall frost for late summer/fall crop. Growing during hot temperature periods should be avoided. Mild Climates: Sow fall through winter.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
Special germination instructions: To hasten germination, soak seeds for 8 to 24 hours before sowing.
Harvesting For early spring sowings, harvest beets before summer heat. For late summer sowings, harvest before first heavy frost. For winter sowings in mild climates, harvest in early spring. Harvest when roots are anywhere from 1"-3" in diameter. Do not let them get too big; the smaller they are, the more tender. Beet greens are even more nutritious than the roots. Greens are most tender when small, so harvest starting when they are 2" tall. You can take as much as one third of a beet plant's outer leaves without harming the root crop.

One of the great benefits of working with the Flash/AIR environment, inside the Creative Suite, is how easy it makes tasks which would be significant challenges in C++. The geolocation sample is one example of this, but another is drag and drop.
This is something with a lot of potential benefit for developers, but (due to some limitations with the current environment) needs to be addressed in a specific way. To achieve this, we use the Flash NativeDragManager, triggered on a mouseDown listener added to our component like so:
<mx:FileSystemTree id="fileSystemTree" width="80%" height="80%" mouseDown="onFSTreeMouseDown(event)" />
We can then implement this listener to begin the drag:
public function handlePureFlashFileDragStart(event:Event):void { var clip:Clipboard = new Clipboard(); clip.setData(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT, event.currentTarget.selectedItems); var allowedActions:NativeDragOptions = new NativeDragOptions(); allowedActions.allowLink = false; NativeDragManager.doDrag(event.currentTarget as InteractiveObject, clip); }
Here, we have the option of what kind of data we load onto the clipboard (in this case it is a collection of files), and also, if we so desire, we can add an Image object which would be used as the thumbnail for transfer.
If you'd like to see this in action, we've created a project which allows files to be dragged from a filesystem tree view into InDesign. It also allows text to be dragged from InDesign to a box in the extension, and back, using the same mechanisms. You can find that here.
For more information on Flash native drag and drop, you might like to look at the tutorial on the Adobe Developer Connection and the livedocs for the NativeDragManager.

Here are some criminal justice related resolutions I wish Texas officials would make for 2008, though I'm not holding my breath on any of them:
- Counties should resolve to expand their financial commitment to drug courts and create more mental health courts and public defender offices.
- The UT Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) should resolve to submit a budget proposal to the Legislature that reflects the real cost of providing healthcare to prisoners at TDCJ and TYC, and to supplement telemedicine and telepsychiatry with more on site services from medical professionals.
- Community MHMR Centers should resolve to develop outpatient competency restoration services in partnership with their local jails to keep mentally ill defendants from being stranded there for months awaiting beds in a state hospital open up. They need to step up because they argued at the Legislature they should get they money instead of state hospitals, leaving a gaping problem with lack of competency restoration services squarely in the lap of local jailers and mentally ill defendants. A pending lawsuit could force the state to expand the number of state hospital beds available, but in the meantime it's a looming, extant problem.
- A corollary resolution for community MHMR centers: Develop additional juvenile services to divert mentally ill kids from the juvenile justice system. TYC's simply not doing much for them.
- The Legislative Budget Board should resolve that unless TDCJ can staff its current prisons, it will reject three proposed new ones, which LBB must certify as necessary before approved debt can be issued.
- Everyone at the Texas Youth Commission should resolve to take a deep breath, wish one another Happy New Year, and give the new conservator a little room to breathe while he gets his sea legs under him. He doesn't have long to act, IMO, but he deserves the chance to assess the situation and figure out how to proceed.
- County commissioners should resolve make sure their county pursues every available opportunity for expanding jail diversion programs and strengthening probation, encouraging low-level offenders to earn their way off supervision through good behavior using evidence-based practices.
- County commissioners should also resolve to use purse strings as leverage to require Sheriffs and prosecutors to accept HB 2391 citations for low-level misdemeanors. This was the only new tool given to counties by the Lege in 2007 to combat jail overcrowding, and too many pols have refused to use it. A commenter sensibly suggested that counties should require arresting jurisdictions to pay for upkeep and incarceration expenses of HB 2391 offenders unless "there's not an underlying reason for arresting as opposed to cite and summons." That makes a lot of sense to me, and would save the county a lot of money either way, putting the financial onus on the agency exercising its discretion.
- Finally, for the rest of us, Matthew 25:41-45 reminds us of Christ's dictum to his disciples that he considered failing to visit those in prison an offense as great as if they'd ignored Christ himself incarcerated. So on the off chance the old fellow was on to something, let me encourage Grits readers to themselves resolve to visit someone in prison or jail in 2008. That seems do-able, and not so nebulous as some resolutions you hear, like plans to lose weight. I can think right now of someone who I've long needed to visit up in Huntsville, and perhaps this resolution will provide an excuse for me to get off my butt and do so.

HTC kindly offered to lend us the HTC Status to have a look at and I was happy for the opportunity because it's giving me some time to step back and look at Android on the lower-end of the phone spectrum. We tend to focus on the bleeding edge devices, and sometimes it's easy to forget that not every person (in fact, the majority of people) don't want to drop $299 on the latest phone every year. The HTC Status runs a cool $49 on contract which blows me away because this phone is pretty damn gorgeous.
The HTC Status is running Android 2.3 on a 2.6″ 480×320 (3:2) screen which is curious because this is the exact same resolution that the very first Android phone, the HTC G1 (AKA Dream), used. If you've read my analysis of the ergonomics of Android, you shouldn't be surprised to find that, from an ergonomic standpoint, HTC is way easier to use with one hand. Instead of stretching and shuffling to read between the navigation buttons and the notification bar, it's all right there, easily within reach.
The unfortunate fact is that almost all of today's Android applications are designed with the assumption that the phone they will be used on is primarily portrait and with much more screen real estate. Despite how it may seem, I was actually really impressed with Android's ability to scale everything down to the smaller landscape resolution of the HTC Status. Things are no doubt cramped at times, but the ability to adapt the entire interface, from something like the massive 5.3″ 1280×800 screen of the Samsung Galaxy Note to the relatively tiny 2.6″ 480×320 screen of the Status, is rather amazing.
HTC has never disappointed in the hardware department. Even though the Status will only run you $49 on contract, this hasn't made any impact on the attention paid to the hardware. The Status feels great and I love the styling — it's clean and sharp. The keys on the keyboard are firm and have near-perfect feedback when clicked.
There's certainly more to be tested, but for the time being, have a look at this beautiful phone.

We got to the Broward Center for Performing Arts (pictured below) at 7:30 p.m. for the concert that began at 8. It was a good chance to meet with some from our grad school days. The last time we had assembled for a fun event was a trip to the Florida Keys during the spring break of 2006, rocking to the soundtrack to Rang De Basanti (2006). Here was a chance for us to witness one of the greatest singers known to Hindi cinema, and we were obviously very excited.
The event began with the musicians (listed at the bottom of this post) accompanied by Amit Kumar, providing a resounding introduction of Asha-ji. Amit Kumar is the son of the legendary Kishore Kumar, and has gone largely unnoticed in recent times, primarily because of his inclination to sing non-filmy songs. That is also why someone like me had not realized (partly for my own oversight) that his was the voice in Oye Oye in Tridev (1989), a very popular track of its time. More on Mr. Kumar below.
Asha-ji kicked off the event with the story of her family -- the Mangeshkars -- and how she and her four siblings initially struggled to make ends meet after their father's death. This was preceded by a request to not capture on video any portion of the concert with either singer in it. The reason for this was primarily that there was some element of concern regarding the statements of the two singers being broadcast across the internet, being taken out of context, and leading to tricky questions posed to them by the media. Well justified and one I agreed with. With that statement went any hopes I had of sharing a clip or two. Yet, I found some videos from an Asha-ji concert from this same tour, so I have provided links to them. My only video is from the last few seconds of the concert, by which time both Asha-ji and Mr. Kumar were off-stage.
[As I try to dissect the concert, the best way I can think of is to reflect on what the themes for the evening seemed to be.]
Through the concert, Asha-ji had some very interesting stories to share on relationships. In addition to the initial bit on her family, one such story was when Kishore Kumar, at her request, sang a duet with her (instead of the initially-planned Kishore solo). She specifically mentioned the following individuals as having had a tremendous positive influence on her career: Lata didi (didi means 'older sister'); Noorjahan Apa, her guru (the late Noorjehan is widely regarded as Pakistan's best singer (she even sang and acted in Bollywood pre-1947)); Kishore-da (Kishore Kumar); and R.D. Burman (of course!).
The most moving moments of the night came when Asha-ji discussed her relationship with Kishore-da, as she calls him. That he used to tell her that 'main chala jaaoonga phir waapas nahin aaoonga. Tab logon ko yaad ayega ke un ke beech kya tha' (I shall not return when I am gone, and that is when people will recall what they had amongst them). This narrative was followed by the song: 'Zindagi ke safar mein guzar jaate hain...'.
The most entertaining segment of the evening featured Asha-ji making a turban of a dupatta, wearing it as headgear, and showcasing a ballad set in the Punjab countryside. The ballad told of a lion's wedding, and the role of a mouse in that wedding. Very funny, very very well improvised, and incorporated with some excellent music, including the song 'Nagada Baja' (you might recall the song was also part of Jab We Met) and 'Laung Gawacha' by her Noorjahan Apa (watch the original song from the Pakistani movie). To give you an idea of the popularity of the latter...I have heard the song at every Mehndi ceremony of an Indian or Pakistani wedding I have been to (be it in India, Pakistan, East Africa, Europe, or North America).
Asha-ji expressed her disappointment in the current state of Bollywood and its music, particularly at the lyrics and purpose of soundtracks, which according to her, leaves a lot to be desired and is not close to those of the yesteryears. Of course, there is a lot of truth to this, and there seems to be a consensus on this subject. I agree completely, but think it is a supply-demand issue (much like everything else in the world is). For that discussion, see this post: Lyrical Dementia a Legitimate Concern.
There were several non-Hindi speaking people among the audience, and a couple to my right. After the event, I learned from them that they enjoyed it, which was good to know. They particularly liked Asha-ji's concern for them, and that she thanked them for being there and sitting through the two hours despite knowing she was not going to sing in English.
No surprises here, as she was rightfully very critical of the remixes. In her words: 'sach boloon, mujhe apne hi gaanon ko is tarha dikhaye jaane par rona aata hai', i.e. 'truth be told, I feel like crying at how they portray my songs'. Specifically, she expressed her disapproval of how the music, the vocals, and particularly the videos end up adulterating some of her very good original songs. Agreed completely.
A nice mix of songs made for a real treat for any music lover. Some of us were a bit surprised that she stayed away from her A.R. Rahman hits (e.g. those from Rangeela, Thakshak, Lagaan, etc.) in favor of the older and admittedly much bigger hits. Yet, this was did not take much away from the concert, so I truly hope to not come across as complaining about this. Here are some songs (in addition to those mentioned above) that I recall being part of the concert:
- Aaj ki raat and Raat baaqi
- Aaja Aaja (watch the original song)
- Dil cheez kya hai (part of my Asha Bhosle Week series of posts)
- Jhumka gira re (watch the original song)
- Piya tu ab tau aaja (watch the original song)
- Yeh ladka haye Allah (watch the original song)
- In aankhon ki masti mein (watch the original song)
- Kabhi tau nazar milaao (this was a very entertaining one. She sang it in four tones -- her own, Lata Didi's, Noorjahan Apa's, and Ghulam Ali's. Fun! Watch the original song here).
The most thunderous applause of the night (besides the one at the very end) went to the songs 'Piya tu ab tau aaja' and 'Dil cheez kya hai'. Amit Kumar's providing the 'Monica, O my darling' in the former fit in perfectly. Here is a picture from when they sang that (Amit in the red shirt):
Asha-ji is going to release a new solo album soon, with some introductory promo event on Times Square too. Based on the preview she provided during the concert, it promises to be very good. Stay tuned. Turns out the music is provided by Sachin Dhamankar, who she acknowledged as I took this picture:
On Amit Kumar
Turns out Mr. Kumar has insisted that he does not want to be labeled as a Kishore-esque Bollywood singer. That is, according to the event program (and as confirmed by Mr. Kumar as well), a significant reason for why his role in Bollywood has been limited. Yet, by far my favorite Amit Kumar song from the evening was one of my all-time Kishore favorites, Roop Tera Mastana (watch the original here), which I thought he sang amazingly well. We could certainly use a more Kishore-esque Amit Kumar in Bollywood today. He also had a nice story on the recording of this song (which was originally a song in Bengali -- I did not know that).
The Music crew
Director/Percussionist: Nitin Shankar
Dholak/Tabla: Sachin Dhamankar
Keyboards: Santosh Mulekar
Guitar: Narendra Salaskar
Electronic Pads: Anup Shankar
Drums: Ankeet Bham
Keyboards: Deepak Walke
Bass: Dominic Fernandes
Here is the crew drawing the evening to a close:
The Experience
This was undoubtedly one of the best concerts I have been to. As film aficionados, we tend to associate certain music with times in our life, i.e. almost like creating a customized soundtrack to our being. Being part of a family and an extended network of friends who are fans of Hindi cinema, it is inevitable that we have several Asha Bhosle songs in the soundtrack to our lives. To see the living legend was truly remarkable.

The "Do Nothing" Congress Can, and Should, Do Something Good on Trade
Make no mistake, the incoming Congress looks like it will be less amenable to trade liberalization than the last. Many friends (or, at least, non‐enemies) of free trade in the last Congress have been replaced by "fair‐trade" Democrats who have lamented the trade policies of the Bush Administration and seem keen to provide more "oversight" (read: populist obstructionism) on trade issues in the future.
However, rather than pass laws on warrantless wire‐tapping and the like, the 109th Congress can make a positive contribution to U.S. policy in its last, dying weeks and vote in favor of granting "permanent normal trade relations" status to Vietnam. That would strengthen the bilateral relations between the United States and Vietnam, and bring economic benefits to both nations.
Holding up the passage of that bill before the elections was Sen. Mel Martinez (R- Fla.), concerned about the treatment of Thuong Nguyen "Cuc" Foshee, a Florida woman detained in Vietnam on suspicion of terrorism. Mrs Foshee was, however, released for health reasons and is due to return to the United States today. That paves the way for a House vote on the issue this week and, hopefully, a Senate vote soon after.
Vietnam's accession to the WTO has already been approved by the WTO membership, and a bilateral market access deal between the United States and Vietnam was sealed in May 2006. Vietnam would not, however, need to extend most‐favoured‐nation tariffs to the United States until Congress granted PNTR. Unless and until then, U.S. consumers and companies would not be able to take full advantage of Vietnam's accession to the WTO. A market of more than 82 million people, growing at an average rate of 7.5 percent over the last decade, seems too good an opportunity to risk on a year‐to‐year basis (the current schedule for granting most‐favored‐nation status to Vietnam).
Apart from securing those economic benefits as soon as possible, however, a diplomatic embarrassment is ripe for the avoiding. President Bush is due to visit Hanoi from November 18–19 for the annual APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation) leaders meeting, at which the Doha round is due to be discussed.
My colleague Dan Ikenson has some concerns about the concessions made by the administration in order to secure the PNTR passage (see here), but this bill is one that the lame‐duck Congress can, and should, pass quickly. Apart from the tangible economic benefits it will bring, it will have powerful "signal value" that the United States is still engaged on trade.

...about myself I learned from my son.
- "You're almost Beautiful." (He said this to me when I was not quite finished getting ready for the day. Apparently all I needed to do still was fix my hair. Then maybe I would be all the way beautiful.)
- "You know the wiggly part on the back of your arms. When it wiggles like that it means you're chubby... But that's okay mom. You're working on it." (Said as we were leaving the gym. I had my workout clothes on, which afforded him a perfect view of my wiggly arms.)
- "Do you think Malia's hair will ever be dark like ours? Well, not like your's mom, cuz yours is white."
Is it a wonder why some days I just don't wanna get out of bed?
Really, kids are just too honest. He loves his momma though. He tells me everyday, "You're the best mom." Now, I don't think I qualify as the best mom, but I do think I can forgive the chubby, old, and almost beautiful comments when he tells me he loves me.

Its not every day that people who want to lose weight can get paid for purging themselves of pounds.
But Kaiser Permanente is compensating people in cash including nonpatients and out-of-area residents, including Southwest Colorado for losing weight. Payoffs end when participants reach their fighting trim defined as a body mass index, or BMI, of less than 25.
The Kaiser program, Weigh and Win, is not to be confused with the current 14-week Lose to Win weight-loss contest sponsored by The Durango Herald now in its second year.
Participation in the Kaiser program is done electronically through a kiosk a stand housing a computer, keyboard, screen, camera and scales.
Program participants identify themselves, input personal data, step on the scales and get their picture taken. The information is sent electronically to the data center of incentaHEALTH, a corporate health-program provider that manages Weigh and Win.
Amy Whited, a Kaiser spokeswoman, said Weigh and Win is one of several lifestyle-enhancing programs the nonprofit supports. Among them: Live Well Colorado, which is dedicated to reducing obesity, and Denver Bicycle Sharing.
Our goal is to promote healthy lifestyles, Whited said. We couldnt be more pleased with how Weigh and Win has expanded.
Kaiser puts up the weight-loss reward money. There are 42 kiosks, valued at $7,000 each, throughout the state at health clinics, recreation centers, libraries and private businesses, including eight at American Furniture Warehouse locations.
Whited said more than 28,000 people have enrolled in Weigh and Win.
In La Plata County, portable Weigh and Win equipment is housed at Changing Lives Wellness Center, 1145 South Camino del Rio, No. 120, operated by chiropractor Christopher Greene.
Greene, the only Weigh and Win sponsor in Southwest Colorado, will take his equipment to businesses that want to encourage employees to maintain a healthy weight.
The use of kiosks is free for the time a person is enrolled in Weigh and Win.
Based on the information they supply when signing up, participants receive a daily email containing a suggested grocery list and personalized tips for nutrition and exercise.
The suggestions are based on three meals and three in-between snacks a day.
Our goal is a healthy lifestyle, not a yo-yo diet, said Katie Haas, a program manager with incentaHEALTH, whose salary is paid by Kaiser.
Greene offers a weight-loss regimen based on Ideal Protein pre-packaged high-protein meals. Patients eat four meals a day, starting with three Ideal Protein packages and one they prepare based on suggested meal plans.
Gradually they substitute home-prepared meals for the pre-packaged ones. The concept, Greene said, is that they learn to make a lifestyle change based on personal results.
I support the program because obesity is a major component in the neck and back problems of patients I see, Greene said. We need to offer a real solution because the metabolic syndrome obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure increases the risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.
Only people with a BMI of 25 or greater may participate. Patients weigh in every three months, with rewards ranging from $15 for a 5-percent weight loss to $150 for a 30 percent loss in three months.
Lets say a person weighing 250 pounds loses 5 percent of his original weight every three months for a year. The payoffs would be $15, $30, $45 and $75, a total of $165.
If the participant continues, his base weight for the second year would be 200 pounds. Monetary rewards continue until the BMI limit is reached.
A BMI is calculated by dividing ones weight by ones height in inches squared and multiplying by 703.

Kansas insurance department seeks higher fees
February 3, 2014
Topeka The Kansas Insurance Department is asking the Legislature for permission to raise fees paid by insurance companies because the state has diverted millions of dollars from its regulatory fund for other purposes.
Zachary Anshutz, assistant commissioner of insurance, said the regulatory fund is likely to be down to $200,000 in December if revenues don't improve.
The fund used to hold $24 million but the state diverted $15 million in June and another $5 million in July. Another $5 million is scheduled to be used in July and Gov. Sam Brownback has proposed diverting $3 million more in March 2015, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.
Since income tax reductions were enacted in 2012, the state has been diverting funds, called "fee sweeps," from agencies such as the insurance department, the highway fund and a tobacco litigation settlement for programs that usually are paid for by the state general fund.
"The sweep of fee funds from the insurance department is just one more example of this governor's attempt to fill the holes in the Kansas budget created by his reckless and irresponsible income tax cuts," said Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka.
Previous administrations also have used the fee sweeps to fill budget holes. Brownback's predecessor, Democrat Mark Parkinson, was sued by former House Speaker Mike O'Neal in 2010 over diversions his administration used. The lawsuit, which claims some industries were essentially double-taxed, remains in litigation after the Kansas Court of Appeals reinstated it last September.
Brownback's spokeswoman, Sara Belfry, said the insurance department has the necessary cash flow to operate.
"The budget office is working closely with them, and as the actual money comes in over the next few months, we will make adjustments if required," Belfry said.
The department's fees on insurance companies are capped at $25,000. A proposed bill would lift that ceiling and tie the assessment fee to the agency's budget. It would specify that the total assessments could not exceed 125 percent of the total budget for the insurance company regulation program.
Insurance companies paid an estimated $440 million in premium taxes into the state treasury over the last three years.
Anshutz also said that because Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger isn't running for re-election in November, the legislative change would give more flexibility to the department's next administration to deal with depleted funds.

I'm using a web browser control to load PDF files in access' works great! I have a new request from management, they asked if I could disable the context menu / or disable right click on the browser window. I searched for a few hours and never really found any examples of this in Access.
Is there anything out there to do that?

That right click menu is an attribute of IE, not Access. It's the same menu you get in IE. The WebBrowser control is a window to IE.
So stuck with the menu unless Access can trap the mouse right click with form's MouseDown or MouseUp events - not something I've ever tried.

Hi. You might be able to experiment using JavaScript. Just a thought...

Fort Walton Beach, FL, July 2, 2010 — School is out, Memorial Day barbecues have come and gone, and the summer travel season is shifting into high gear. Spurred on by sunny weather and warm temperatures, savvy vacationers are out hunting for the best travel deals, and many have set their sights on ResortQuest's Vacation Treasure Hunt contest.
Mariner's Watch Villa - Kiawah, SC
Offered by leading vacation rental management company, ResortQuest, the Vacation Treasure Hunt is a weekly online contest that gives participants the opportunity to win a five-night stay in one of ResortQuest's luxurious beach vacation rental properties—a condo, villa or vacation home in Hilton Head, Isle of Palms, Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island or Myrtle Beach, S.C.; Bethany Beach, Del.; Ocean City, Md.; Orange Beach, Gulf Shores or Fort Morgan, Ala.; or along the Florida Panhandle—for just $1 per day. A new contest starts each Tuesday at 2 p.m. EDT, with the promotion continuing weekly through September 28.
Between its earlier ski-oriented version and the current beach-themed contest, the company already has awarded $64,000 worth of vacation rental stays so far in 2010. With the average weekly value of its beach prizes nearing $2,000 each, ResortQuest aims to give away another $30,000 in vacation stays throughout the rest of the summer.
The largest Vacation Treasure Hunt prize to date was a stay at a private beachfront home in Hilton Head valued at $4,300, won by Laurie A. of New Albany, Ind. When asked about her experience with the contest, Laurie says, "I can't tell you how absolutely thrilled—elated—I am." In fact, she was so stunned by her win that she often goes back to check the Web page that lists her name as a winner "to look and see if it's real." Laurie plans to spend her vacation in the professionally decorated, six-bedroom home with her husband, celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary.
James S. of Gilroy, Calif., won one of the most recent weekly contests, in which the prize was a five-night stay in a luxury villa overlooking the George Fazio golf course at the prestigious Palmetto Dunes Resort on Hilton Head Island. This week, Dan L. of Rockville, Md. won a vacation stay in a million-dollar oceanfront condo at Ocean Blue Resort in Myrtle Beach, S.C.—a prize worth more than $2,500.
Kenneth M. of Southborough, Mass., won a vacation valued at $2,800—a five-night stay at a platinum-rated villa with full ocean views at Mariner's Watch on Kiawah Island, S.C. When Kenneth realized he was close to winning the contest, the technology consultant excused himself from a business call. "I had to ask if I could call them back," he says. Now, he's looking forward to getting away from the computers to relax with his wife and four-year-old son on the beach.
A winner from Madison, Ala., Jennifer H., will travel up the east coast to Delaware for her prize vacation. Valued at $2,500, Jennifer's prize is a stay in a platinum-rated condo overlooking a half-mile of private guarded beach at Sea Colony Resort, hailed as "The Premier Family Beach and Tennis Resort Community."
"Part of what has made the Vacation Treasure Hunt such a successful promotion is the quality and high value of the vacation rental prizes we're awarding," says Cheryl Spezia, vice president of marketing for ResortQuest. "Combine that with the fun and challenging puzzles we release each week, and it's no wonder the contest is a hit."
To participate in the contest, treasure hunters navigate through ResortQuest's beach-destination Web sites, solving clues and searching for a hidden treasure map icon. The treasure map reveals a toll-free number and promotion code needed to call and claim the prize.
