Michael Jackson's newest single, billed as the singer's latest recording, was actually written for Jackson nearly two decades ago -- and was released without giving credit to Jackson's co-writer Paul Anka, Anka and Jackson's estate confirmed Monday.
Anka, the hitmaker behind "Diana" and Frank Sinatra's "My Way," told TMZ Monday he'd originally written "This Is It" for Jackson in 1983, recording a version of the song with the fallen pop star under the title "I Never Heard."
Anka told TMZ Jackson "stole the tapes" of the single from his studio -- and that he never got them back. The writer gave the song to a Latin-American pop artist, Safire, who released it in 1990 under the first title "I Never Heard."
U.S. & World
He accused Jackson's camp of "ripping off my song" for Monday's release, then got in touch with Jackson's estate, who confirmed he had co-written the song.
"We acknowledge that Michael and Paul wrote this song together," Jackson estate special administrator John Branca told TMZ.
Anka will receive 50 percent of the publishing rights from the single, TMZ reported.
"It's resolved. They realized it's a mistake, they realized it's my song," Anka told TMZ. "They realized it's my production of his vocal in my studio. And I am getting 50 percent, actually, of the whole project," Anka said.
He said the half-and-half deal was "fair."
"I love the work that they've done on this new track, which I didn't do," Anka said.
The music legend also said Jackson executors said the song wasn't up to Michael Jackson's caliber -- and that it made sense Anka was behind its production.
"'Now we know why the song was so good,''" Anka recalled co-special administator John McClain said.
But the co-writer behind the single didn't begrudge the Jackson estate once they gave him his rightful share.
"They did the right thing," Anka said. "I don't think that anybody tried to do the wrong thing. It was an honest mistake."
"This Is It," a slow ballad, was billed by producers behind the Sony movie "Michael Jackson's This Is IT" as an unreleased track found on a demo tape after the singer's death. Its lyrics and melody are almost identical to Safire's 1990 version.
Label reps did not respond to requests for comment.
Both Michael Jackson and Safire's versions of the song can be heard below.

(Reuters) - Morgan Stanley (MS.N) is aiming to win market share in bond trading, but it is not big enough to compete against rivals like Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N), and should instead focus on shrinking that business, JPMorgan analyst Kian Abouhossein analyst said.
Even as Morgan Stanley tries to win market share, it has announced plans to reduce the trading assets on its books by $100 billion, adjusting for risk, mainly in fixed income. But Morgan Stanley should scrap its market-share ambitions and pull back further from the bond-trading business, cutting staff and compensation to reduce costs, Abouhossein said.
Other banks are cutting back in fixed-income, including UBS UBSN.VX, which said last week it was laying off 10,000 employees, many in bond sales and trading.
Morgan Stanley wants to focus on simpler products like U.S. Treasury bonds and interest-rate swaps, which offer low profits per trade, but can generate high volumes of trades. It hopes to win enough market share in these businesses to boost its overall market share in trading.
But Morgan Stanley and other smaller players will be facing off against bigger competitors Goldman Sachs, Citigroup Inc (C.N), Barclays PLC (BARC.L), Bank of America Corp (BAC.N), Deutsche Bank AG (DBKGn.DE) and JPMorgan Chase & Co, (JPM.N) which already dominate the market, Abouhossein said.
"If you're a FICC Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities)player which only makes $6 billion of annual revenue — which Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and UBS are — and you try to run an institutional business, you will struggle against the top six players which make more than $10-14 billion in revenue because you don't have the scale to compete," he said.
A Credit Suisse spokesman declined to comment.
For more than three years, Morgan Stanley has been trying to increase market share in the FICC trading business by 2 percentage points from a previous level of 6.0 percent.
But progress has been hampered by factors including market concerns about Morgan Stanley's exposure to European banks last year and a bond-rating downgrade in June that sent clients to competitors.
Morgan Stanley was able to regain some of that business in the third quarter, and its fixed-income trading revenues rose 89 percent from the prior period, excluding one-time accounting adjustments. Chief Financial Officer Ruth Porat confirmed last month that the bank is still trying to achieve its market share goals.
At an internal firmwide meeting in July, James Gorman told employees that fixed income trading was "a critical business" and an attractive one for the bank, a source who heard his comments said.
Abouhossein said he does not think Morgan Stanley will have to cut back the way UBS did. The Swiss bank faces higher capital requirements than U.S. and European rivals.
Morgan Stanley shareholders have watched the bank make big changes to its fixed-income trading business at least four times over the last several years.
First, under former Chief Executive John Mack, Morgan Stanley ramped up its bond trading in the years before the financial crisis, taking big bets with its own money. The move proved ill-timed, and the bank suffered billions of dollars of losses. It pulled back from the business.
When the bond markets rallied in 2009, Morgan Stanley was left unprepared. In July of that year, the bank looked to catch up with competitors by hiring Jack DiMaio, a hedge fund manager with a background in bond trading. But within 18 months, DiMaio was replaced by former Chief Risk Officer Ken deRegt, as current Chief Executive James Gorman put in place his own leadership team and strategy.
Abouhossein, who rates Morgan Stanley shares "outperform," says the bank can get to an 11.7 return-on-equity, compared with 3.9 percent last year, by pulling back from bond trading in the manner he advocates. The measure reflects how much profit a bank can wring from its balance sheet.
"Morgan Stanley has already given guidance, in the second quarter, of reducing RWAs quite aggressively in fixed income," he said. "They have been taking the right steps, but they need to do more."

Yawner: Tired people have issues
I would never survive in jail. When I was a UVA fellow, I interviewed at the local jail for a moonlighting position. I suddenly related to my mother's experience as medical resident in NYC when she had to help at the local lock-up. Whooping, hollering (unlike Gwen Stefani, who ain't no Hollaback Girl), and name-calling– it was worse than the Jerry Springer show!
The worst thing about the jail, though, were the orange uniforms they had to wear. If I put one of those orange outfits on, it would be like the Wicked Witch of the West, "I'm melting, I'm melting!" It reminded me of Private Benjamin when Goldie Hawn says, "Do you have anything else besides green to wear?" But she looked very cute in her fatigues. Why do they call some military clothes "fatigues"? Does wearing them make you tired?
According to the literature, only seven percent of people at this very minute have a problem with fatigue. Only seven percent? Maybe the iPod is waking everyone up, but I think at least half the population suffers from fatigue. The proof is in the pudding– why else would there be a Starbucks on every corner? We work more than the Japanese now, and the 40-hour work-week has become a thing for slackers.
What is fatigue? The dictionary says, "a sensation of exhaustion during or after usual activities, or a feeling of inadequate energy to begin these activities." It basically means you poop out too fast, or you're just plain ole pooped. It's not being sleepy (somnolence), short of breath (out of shape), or physically weak (like a person who has Multiple Sclerosis). You can be fatigued with these three things, but fatigue means unusual lack of energy. (My personal mantra is, "Help, I'm in bed, and I can't get up!" I can easily sleep 14 hours.)
There are three periods of fatigue: 1) "recent" <1 month 2) "prolonged" 1-6 months and 3) "chronic" >6 months– not to be confused with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which has more criteria and is a whole other article.
When a patient comes to me with fatigue, I explore a wide range of potential causes: medications, infection, hypothyroidism, B12 deficiency, anemia, cancer, lung disease, heart disease, alcohol abuse, etc. But the number-one cause is... drum roll... psychiatric. Depression and anxiety occur in three quarters of people with fatigue. Sleep apnea is creeping up because two thirds of Americans are overweight or obese.
Psychiatric conditions are not necessarily the cause of fatigue, though– they just happen to exist in people with fatigue. In the '70s, my parents would complain how rude and demanding people were in Asia, unlike the U.S.
Today, my parents complain how rude and demanding Americans are, unlike in Asia. Yes, we Americans should congratulate ourselves for not only outworking the Japanese but also out-demanding them as well. And frankly, it is exhausting. I'm exhausted. Aren't you?
For those who have chronic fatigue, a good physical examination and labs are required. Exercise, yoga, meditation, and good sleep hygiene are all very useful. Antidepressants, psychotherapy, and good nutrition can be helpful. Avoidance of alcohol and drugs, having good interpersonal relationships, and taking good care of oneself is vital.
Should we go back to the '70s when things were slower? Fashion always goes back to the past. Movies keep doing remakes of classics. I think models should come back, too. It's nonsense that models fade away by the time they're 30 years old. Cheryl Tiegs should come back. Do you think her middle name would be Fa, as in Cheryl Fa Tiegs?

"Sometimes he even masked the shiny metal parts of his camera with black tape." Not stealthy?
When you have your own definition of stealthy which doesn't match a dictionary definition -- you are playing word games :-)When you say "none of them see him make the shot" it tells us nothing about why "none of them see him make the shot" -- maybe he was being stealthy.
You didn't answer my question.
Have you actually looked at HCB's pictures?
The bottom line is: if HCB had been trying to be stealthy he'd have used a 135mm lens...
Still looking for your street shots so I can see if you're stealthy.
What you often get in this area are statements which are essentially about people's personal practices but which have morphed into ex cathedra advice to everyone else.
The point was, back in the day, people were not so aware of, nor concerned with privacy, the various ways in which they could subsequently be exploited.
No, ears at the side. That's why the Leicas had silent shutters.
I haven't seen your pudding.
The proof's in the pudding. I haven't seen your pudding.
With reference to HCB or any really effective street photographer I'll buy all of that except the word "secrecy."
Let's see if I've got this right. In order to decide whether or not Isaac is right about how best to describe Henri Cartier-Bresson's approach to street photography, I need to look at some street photographs taken by Isaac?
If Isaac turned out to be a modern master of street photography, would that change your mind about HCB's practice?
Have you looked up the definition of secret?For future reference, Merriam Webster online -- stealthy, secret.
...If you've never sailed a boat you're hardly in a position to explain sailing techniques...
A text which offers an explanation of something out there in the world needs to be judged on the correspondence between what it says and our experience of the world. It doesn't matter if we know nothing about the author. If you read an essay about street photography authored by anonymous, would you be unable to decide whether or not it was any good?Art critics don't have to be artists. Separate skills.
If Isaac were talking about the content or composition of Henri's photographs that would be one thing, but he's talking about the technique Henri used to get those photographs. If he's never done street photography he's not in a position to determine WHAT technique Henri used to get his photographs.
I'm not going to play word games with you any more, Isaac.
You really need to read more carefully Ken.

Hard Targets—Masculinity and Sport, which opened in October and runs through January 18, has me thinking about how artistry and athleticism have intersected in the past.
To me the unscripted intensity of Shaun El C. Leonardo's Bull in the Ring, which he performed on Hard Targets' opening night, was paradoxically heightened by the precise choreography of the warm-up and drill and its ritualistic aspect, both athletic and artistic. All summer, Leonardo told us, he had been on a "strict nutrition plan and workout program just to be physically and mentally prepared… training and coaching with a team" for the performance. This "dualism," as he calls it, between performance and sculpture, and art and reality, creates an amazing tension—one that is actually very present in a totally different kind of artwork in LACMA's collection: Wrestlers, painted in 1899 by Thomas Eakins.
Not unlike the aims of the football drill staged in the performance, Wrestlers alludes to what it took to be the best nineteenth-century academic artist, which meant being able to paint the human body masterfully. Artists had to train, practice, and study the body, paralleling the regimen of the male athletes and the coaches looking on whom Eakins depicts. For Wrestlers, Eakins photographed young men practicing at the gym, as another Hard Targets artist, Collier Schorr, does too.
Eakins also made an oil sketch in preparation for the final canvas. Just as Leonardo's practice and Schorr's photographs cannot assure the athletic triumph, Eakins's artistic preparations cannot contain the tense aspects of his final painting. Strange details such as the cropped background figures, the two men fully locked in a wrestling move, and Eakins's desire to render the male anatomy and the athletic ritual so exactingly demonstrate that more than a century later, Eakins's Wrestlers is also a surprisingly hard target.

Singapore the next Las Vegas?
"CLSA estimates gaming revenues will hit US$6.5B (S$8.4B) next year
matching Las Vegas and rise to about US$8.5B" - Straits Times, 28 Dec 2010.
When I visited the Singapore museum a few months ago, I read this
interesting story. In 1819, Sir Stamford Raffles left the administration of
Singapore to his deputy, William Farquhar giving him strict instructions on
how to develop the island. When he came back 4 years later, he was
horrified. Farquhar had taken the easy way to economic development by
allowing vices such as gambling dens to spring up to fill govt coffers.
Raffles upset at the economic short cuts taken by his deputy[Read the story
here] sacked him a few years later.
I will keep posting about the casinos because I feel strongly that the harm
it brings will far exceed any benefits. The govt enjoys the tax revenue it
collects from this casinos while churches, temples and social workers are
left to help the the broken families. The problem with the casinos is the
same as cigarettes. When cigarettes were introduced many years ago, its
cancer-causing properties were not known. If cigarettes are invented today,
the authorities would have banned them outright. By the time scientists were
sure that cigarettes cause cancer, millions were already addicted, companies
selling them were rich, powerful and influential and millions of people
dependent on the tobacco industry for jobs.....it becomes difficult to shut
them down. Once the casinos are here, they take up a large amount of
resources that could have been used for productive healthy economic
activities. As the govt becomes dependent on the tax revenue, regulating the
industrial becomes harder due to conflicts of interests - much of the social
wreckage it simply passes to churches & social workers. The NCPG (National
Council on Problem Gambling) has an annual budget of $2.5M[Link] vs the
hundreds of millions the govt collect as tax revenue from this activity vs
the hundreds of millions the casinos spend to entice gamblers to grow its
It has been almost 200 years since Raffles gave strict instructions to his
deputy Farquhar not to allow gambling dens in Singapore. Instinctively, he
knew that the harm caused by gambling will outweigh the short term economic
benefits. When the PAP govt wanted to legalise casino gambling, they sold
the idea by telling us we can easily exclude family members if we find out
they have a problem. Today, families with problem gamblers faced plenty of
red tape[Link] [Link] including the need to get the problem gambler to agree
to the exclusion. We were also told that the main intention of having the
casinos is to create jobs for Singaporeans - but Singapore is not short of
jobs that is why we have hundreds of thousands of foreign workers here. The
actual problem we have is structural unemployment and shortage of good
quality jobs - judging from complaints from Singapore workers at the
casinos, the casino solves neither of these[Link].
"My brother called the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) helpline
and left his contact details. When no reply came, I called a week later,
only to be informed that there were more than 300 applications still waiting
to be processed and a counsellor had to be assigned to each case.
We were told that only one place, the Tanjong Pagar Family Service Centre,
processed all applications and the NCPG would start considering a ban only
after it had received a lengthy report of some 24 to 27 pages from the
What's more, the hearing to determine the ban would involve the addicted
gambler as well as the family members to argue their case.
When I sought clarification, such as the need to seek the addicted gambler's
approval in applying for the exclusion, the reply was that those were the
- Casino Exclusion : Family Frustrated by Red Tape[Link]
The PAP govt was just thinking like William Farquhar 200 years ago when they
allowed those casinos to be built - short term economic gains and tax
revenues. Ordinary Singaporeans pay the price for the casinos as social
costs mount.

SYSTEMS, INC., as nominee for U.S.
BANK, N.A. f/k/a FIRSTAR BANK, N.A.
successor in interest to ALLIANCE
An examination of the plaintiff's papers submitted herein reveals that they do not contain proof of plaintiff's standing to commence this action. The papers assert the plaintiff, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS), is the "nominee" for the original mortgagee, Alliance Mortgage Banking Corp. The papers also assert that U.S. Bank, formerly known as First Star Bank, is the successor in interest to the original mortgagee. Furthermore plaintiff has submitted a certificate of merger between U.S. Bank of Oregon and U.S. Bank of Minnesota. Thus the court is unable to ascertain from the papers which party is the record owner of the mortgage, whether or not the mortgage was assigned, and the nature of the relationship between the mortgagee and the plaintiff.
Additionally, plaintiff has submitted, inter alia, an affidavit in support from "Gregg V. Speer, Vice President," who claims to be familiar with the books and records maintained by the plaintiff. However the Mr. Speer has failed to identify what entity he represents. Additionally, the affidavit does not specifically recite the facts of this particular default, the facts concerning the subject property, and when the default notice was sent. Indeed the affidavit only contains boilerplate recitations that could relate to any property or defendant.
Furthermore, the copy of the mortgage included in the plaintiff's papers is barely legible.
Accordingly, as plaintiff has not established its standing to institute this action or prima facie entitlement to relief the proceeding is dismissed

ORLANDO, Fla. – Some women in Central Florida are now putting their positive pregnancy tests up for sale on Craigslist.
It seems to be part of a growing, nationwide trend of women offering the tests to help play a joke on someone or worse, convince a man to get married under false pretenses.
Local 6 found positive pregnancy tests available for as little as $25 in Orlando and Melbourne.
The Orlando seller advertised "I'm pregnant... why not let others in on the fun! Want to play a prank on a friend? Baby shower gag gift?"
"I don't think you play jokes like that," said Deanna Williams, an Orlando mom who thinks selling the tests is a bad idea. "People are doing that sometimes to keep a relationship or to keep the man around thinking it will keep him around, that is crazy. This is getting out of control."
The Orlando seller agrees to provide one pregnancy test with no questions asked. She notes it won't be from the Dollar Store and that hers are the more pricey, EPT, First Response or Clearblue tests. She adds it's not her "business what you choose to use it for."
"First bikinis and now this," laughed Tom Dordevic, an Orlando father.
Dordevic doesn't have much sympathy for anyone who would fall for the scheme.
"I guess if it's done as a gag, I don't see anything wrong with it. I guess if it's done to get guys to propose to them, well then shame on the guy for not asking more questions," said Dordevic.
Local 6 reached out to the pregnancy test sellers in both Orlando and Melbourne. The Orlando seller wished to remain anonymous, while the seller in Melbourne said she just found out about the new trend while surfing the Internet and posted her first ad Tuesday night.
The woman said she is 38 weeks along and is having a high-risk pregnancy. As a result, she said she can't work right now and is hoping this will be a way to earn some extra cash before her baby arrives. So far, she has not had any buyers.

A shop in the Siberian town of Tomsk has recently started selling what they call "apocalypse kits" – a package stocked with the items they suggest you might need for the impending Mayan-predicted armageddon on the 21st of this month. Including vodka, sardines and buckwheat however, the Siberian kit reads more like a hermit's shopping list than a collection of the provisions necessary to survive the end of the world.
The obvious choice of rations when preparing for such an event are those with long shelf lives: canned goods, staples such as wheat, rice and corn, and preservative-laden pseudo food like Twinkies (who despite their supposed ability to survive a nuclear attack are struggling for their own survival). Spam, whose success and legacy is built upon its perfect positioning as a food of any rationing era, is often top of people's lists. But despite countless attempts to jazz up the gelatinous, hammy slab (such as the spam fritters in Joanna Fuertes-Knight of the Girl Eats Food web series' apocalyptic dinner for one), there's little that can mask the flavour and texture of food which has been sat in a tin for weeks, months or years.
That said, a 4lb can of roasted veal (an interesting choice of meat to tin) taken by Sir William Edward Parry on his 1820s voyage to the Northwest Passage was opened and analysed over 100 years later and was supposedly cleared for consumption, so tinned goods certainly appear to be most suited to the job. That the scientists who opened the tin decided to feed the contents to a cat rather than tuck in themselves however, suggests that their conviction wasn't as strong as it could have been. But the main problem is that canned foods in general – despite the whiff of nostalgia lurking between cat fart and death that you might find in Heinz tinned ravioli – just aren't very good. But this is the apocalypse: beggars can't be choosers.
There is a food storage calculator on the P2S Network website, the "UK's most progressive preparedness and survivalist community" which again recommends a shopping list heavy with canned goods. With quantities such as 720 tea bags and 36 tins of "All Day Breakfast" recommended for a single male for three months though, their requirements seem to imply that you have a plenty of storage space and an insatiable thirst for tea.
Middle Eastern chef and food writer Bethany Kehdy takes a more resourceful approach, informed by her days spent living in the Lebanese mountains having fled Beirut during the country's civil war. Asked what she'd stock up on she tells me awarma (preserved meat), and kishk, "burghul [bulgar] fermented with yoghurt, sundried in autumn and ground to a fine powder," the latter of which is part of the Middle Eastern "mouneh" or winter provisions. "The two can be paired to create a very soul-soothing soup that is super-quick to prepare as the kishk only needs to be reconstituted with water. We had it often, especially when we'd get snowed in."
But other than the essentials she notes that she'd also take plenty of wine and luxury chocolates, because if there's anything good to come from the apocalypse (apart from finally getting rid of [insert name of pop-culture figure here]), it's an excuse to eat as selfishly as possible. The Times' restaurant critic Giles Coren espouses this mentality. "Endangered stuff," he says, "caviar, bluefin tuna, ortolans, cod, shark fin … all the stuff I don't eat because it is unsustainable.
"If I survived the apocalypse I'd carry on eating them because the main reason certain foods are extinct or nearing extinction is [because] there are too many people on the planet, but if there was only me then I [could] hardly make a dent." It's not the most politically correct answer, but the logic of making the most of what you have is certainly sound.
Like California chain Slaters 50/50, who have added a gluttonous "Armageddon Burger" made with a slab of meatloaf wrapped in bacon to their menu, or The Last Supperclub, a party running in London until the 21st aiming to see the end of days out in a haze of hedonism, perhaps the best way to prepare for the apocalypse is to eat what we want, when we want, rather than fear for what might happen afterwards. If end of days arrives then I'd certainly prefer a day or two of gorging than three months of canned all-day breakfasts. What would you stock up on?

The scenario in which this wiki can be useful is when you have to send an (huge) array of model ids and perform a time consuming computation with it like linking every model to other models. The idea is to split the array into smaller arrays and perform sequential ajax requests, showing the calculation progress using a [Bootstrap Progress bar](https://www.yiiframework.com/extension/yiisoft/yii2-bo...
Let's assume we have two models: Customer and Supplier and we want both to log in. Yii is quite flexible when it comes to authentication and authorization so it's possible.
The definition of breadcrumbs according to its documentation is as follow: Breadcrumbs displays a list of links indicating the position of the current page in the whole site hierarchy.
When to use Active Record is a common question among developers, Yii and overall.
Yii 2.0 comes with a formatter component to format dates, numbers, and other values for international users according to their locale. This is very useful for displaying data. When working with incoming data or when using enhanced input methods like the [MaskedInput widget](https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/2.0/yii-widgets-maskedinp...
The usual way to find out what Yii has created for an SQL query is to mutilate the SQL in the sourcecode and call the program again so that the SQL statement with errors is displayed. Or you can use the SQL logger, which must be switched on and off each time and logs all SQL statements, which leads to an enormous slowdown in program execution and decelerates your workflow.
Sometimes the App needs a nicer look & feel, so its necessary to organize the assets for this and Yii can help a lot to make it easy. In this article I provide tips for handling multiple "Designs". I use these three features:
This article is for those who have dealt with the complexity of Elasticsearch or any other indexing machines and are looking for an easier way to index the existing database without additional effort.
Normally, after clicking the delete button in gridview, the record will be deleted and the page will refresh, but the page number in query string is lost. This is not always the case we expect.
There are a few settings and plugins that can enhance the development experience with Yii in PHPStorm or IntelliJ IDEA. This article explains how to get the most out of your IDE.
The Problem: Yii2 utilizes by default UserIdentity configured in config/web.php for connection, this object apply one table to authentication ('identityClass' => 'app\panel\models\User'). How to authentication from diferent tables? Solution: Create instances in web.php to uses UserIdentify. eg:

We're The Millers is doing reasonably well at the box office. Much better than Wanderlust. So Jennifer Aniston is apparently celebrating the success of her movie in, well, where else? Mexico.
Check out Jennifer and Justin Theroux arriving in Mexico yesterday with Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda Anka for a double date holiday. We will next see Jen in theatres at TIFF – Life Of Crime, adapted from Elmore Leonard's novel The Swith, will close the festival. It was announced this morning that Leonard passed away today at the age of 87. The word that most people use to describe movies sourced from Leonard's material is "cool". Out Of Sight was cool. Raylan Givens is cool. Get Shorty was cool. Will Life Of Crime be cool too?

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin is calling for an independent review of the state's execution protocols after an inmate had an apparent heart attack 43 minutes after his execution began.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Fallin said Oklahoma Department of Public Safety Commissioner Michael Thompson would lead the review of the lethal injection protocol.
Oklahoma was using a brand-new protocol in Clayton Lockett's execution Tuesday night. The execution was halted after more than 20 minutes, after Lockett began writhing on the gurney. He died later, and an autopsy is underway.

If you're struggling with streaming video or music wirelessly in your home, keep in mind that there are several components involved that could be causing your pain. The Internet provider, the router, or the receiving device – a TV, PC, set-top box, computer, etc. – are all points of failure.
There are ancillary factors as well, ranging from interference from other sources of radio signals (cordless phones, garage door openers, microwave ovens) in your home or in those of neighbors; bad wiring or connections inside or outside your home; your home's physical layout, including walls, furniture and appliances.
All this makes troubleshooting Wi-Fi problems particularly difficult. But one of the best approaches you can take is ensure you've got a decent router, and that it's working properly.
If you've got a router that's three years old or more, I'd suggest replacing it. Since the approval and finalization of the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard in 2009, routers have improved dramatically. Chances are any router you buy now will run rings around the older model you're using currently.
A case in point is the latest version of the Linksys E4200, Cisco's high-end consumer router. I've been using the first release for a while, and while it's been a stellar router with excellent speed and range, the company recently launched version 2.0. I was skeptical about whether it would be a significant improvement over the first E4200, but that skepticism has dissolved.
As I've written before, I've got a unique situation. I live in a tall, narrow townhome with a home office on the third floor. That's where my cable modem is, and thus where my router needs to be. I need to get a decent Wi-Fi signal all the way down to the first floor, and thus I'm forever searching for a router gives me decent speed and good range throughout the house.
The E4200 version 1.0 did that quite well. Still, there were times when it would choke when streaming video from to a device on the ground floor. It didn't happen often, but it did happen.
So far, that has not occurred with the E4200 version 2.0 review unit that Cisco sent me to try. The range and signal quality are both superb. I've been able to stream video and music to a notebook, iPad and iPhone without a single hitch.
On the iPhone and iPad, I was getting two Wi-Fi bars in the connection indicator on the ground floor with version 1.0. The new one not only gives me three bars, but I get that signal quality on my iPhone even when sitting in my car in the garage. In that case, the signal passes through two floors, through the metal appliances in the kitchen above the garage, and through the steel roof of my car.
In fact, the signal in my car doesn't drop to two bars until I move to the end of my driveway, about 60 feet from the front of the house.
The E4200 v.2 has three different Wi-Fi connections – 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz. and a 2.4 GHz guest access. This latter allows guests in your home to get Internet access, but they're not able to see other devices on your network. The guest access has a separate password.
The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz connections allow you to keep media-oriented devices separate from PCs. The 2.4-GHz signal is often shared with cordless phones and other wireless devices, but there's less interference on the 5-GHz band. However, 5-GHz band doesn't have the range that 2.4 GHz does, and if your media device (a TV, set-top box, Xbox, etc.) is far from the router, or if it doesn't support a 5-GHz connection, you'll want to use 2.4 GHz.
It achieves its remarkable range with an array of six internal antennas, packed into the same stylish case used for the first version of the E4200. From the outside, you can't tell them apart.
In theory, the E4200 has a maximum throughput of 450 megabits a second on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This will vary depending on the conditions in your home and the distance of the receiving device from the router. Of course, this is much faster than most home Internet connections, so you'll likely only really test these limits if you've got a network that fully supports such speeds and you're transferring files or streaming media within it.
The E4200 also comes with an updated version of the Cisco Connect software, which makes setting it up a breeze. While most routers use software to make setup simpler, Cisco's program – which works with both Windows and Macintosh computers – allows you to do a lot more than that.
It lets you configure Guest Access, parental controls and advanced router settings. It will also create a USB key with your settings that you can use to configure a computer to easily connect to your network.
You can also drop into the Web page-based advanced settings via the software, but there's a downside to doing so. Some of the advanced settings can break the simpler Cisco Connect, so if you make detailed changes via the Web page, don't count on using the software after that.
One other problem with the Cisco Connect software: It turns on Guest Access by default. I wound up going into the Web setup pages to turn it off. The software also insists on naming your 5-GHz and 2.4 GHz connections the same thing. I like to keep them separate.
There's also an iOS version of the Cisco Connect software that works with the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. It works with Linksys E-series, X-series and Valet routers.
The E4200 v.2 is not an inexpensive router, selling for about $200. You may be able to find it for slightly less online. Yes, that's a lot of money, but if you've got challenges in blanketing your home with a solid Wi-Fi signal, it's worth it.

The monthly salary of world star Rain who is currently serving in the army shocked many people. What surprised them more is that even with such little pay of 80,000 won($70.42) he confessed, "I have nowhere to use them."
On April 8, Rain attended the 2012 Culture Festival for Army Recruits and had a talk with military personnel.
When military personnel went up the platform and asked, "I'm curious about how much money you have." Rain wanted to be recognized as soldier Jung Ji Hoon rather than singer Rain, so he replied, "I'm sorry, but let us only talk about military related stories." Entertainer soldier Lee Jin Ho, who emceed the event, asked Rain, "I heard that Rain is earning 80,000 won a month."
Rain revealed, "I honestly have nowhere to spend my money. If I go back in I think I'll be spending most of them on PX." Rain who entered military in October of last year said, "I entered here exactly eight months ago. I now have a completely fresh viewpoint."
The Culture Festival for Army Recruits is an event to express gratitude towards the young military soldiers and their parents.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A Maryland law enabling parents to better protect their children from identity theft is among several taking effect next week.
Same-sex marriage also will be allowed in Maryland next week, and another new law taking effect on Tuesday will allow veterans to have their veteran status shown on their driver's license.
The child identity theft law will allow parents to freeze their child's credit any time.
Credit agencies must place a security freeze on the credit of anyone who requests it. But they have been able to refuse to lock the credit of those who do not have a pre-existing credit report. If a child has a credit report, it usually means he or she is already a victim of fraud.

Occupy Bay Area Takes Over Richard Blum's Corporation in San Francisco Tonight to Protest Sale of Post Offices
In solidarity with Save the Post Office Coalition's action at 11:30 AM on Tuesday, December 4, participants of Occupy Bay Area United (OBAU) are staging an overnight occupation of Blum Capital Partners, at 909 Montgomery Street, starting at 4 pm Monday, December 3rd.
The owner of this firm, Richard Blum, UC Regent and husband to Senator Dianne Feinstein, is also Chairman of the Board of the politically entrenched real estate firm CB Richard Ellis (CBRE). Through leveraging his position as UC Regent, Mr. Blum has brought outsize benefits to Blum Capital Partners by exploiting UC's sizable investment portfolio. He has directed a multitude of university build projects to his very own real estate company, even going so far as to construct a building named after himself on the UC Berkeley campus from which he personally profited. Thanks to his wife, Senator Feinstein, Blum's real estate firm CBRE won contracts from the FDIC to handle the state's residential foreclosures at above market rates, despite the firm's weak track record in the field. As part of the nationwide threat to public services, the closing and selling off of California's historic post offices have been contracted out to none other than Mr. Blum's own CBRE, allowing him to profit from the public's great loss of priceless buildings and works of art housed in them.
Richard Blum and his companies exemplify the intractability of corporate influence on public policy, the marriage of wealth to politics and the incestuous twining of the two. In today's political discourse, privatization is too often pitched as the only alternative, as necessary "reform". "We are here today to stand for real reform: the removal influence over public policy by the 1% and their corporate allies, the establishment of true public accountability, and the preservation of public services," stated OBAU member Jane Smith.
Occupy Bay Area United is committed to nonviolent direct action. You can find more information, including schedules of our events, and information about our weekly General Assemblies at www.obau.org. Follow #OBAU on Twitter at @occbayareautd

Welcome to Teresa Green, a unique range of printed textiles designed and hand printed by Teresa Cole.
I set up Teresa Green in 2000 after graduating in printed textiles from Loughborough University school of art and design.
In 2001 I received a setting up grant from the Crafts council and support from the Princes Trust to set up studio in an old stable block in the village of Barrow Upon Soar in Leicestershire, I have now moved to Devon and found a beautiful new workshop on the Perridge Estate nestled in 100 acres of woodland.
I source all our fabrics from within the UK, our linen comes from Ireland and our inks are all water based.
The integrity of natural materials is important to me.
I don't even wear any synthetics!
I have exhibited nationally and internationally over the past 10 years , including attending the New York International Gift Fair, Maison et Objet Paris and undertaking a research trip to Japan.
The importance of our range having a function is also key- the utilitarian, functionality and the design play equal roles.
The items are a canvas for the prints, and are designed around the shape and layout of each object.
I have a passion for antique kitchenallia- especially kitchen scales and ladle shaped spoons. Both grandpa's have also fed my imagination with crammed sheds full of old garden objects and treasure-I have an obsession for elongated watering cans and apple ladders….
I hope you will enjoy using our items and the sense of history and time that will impart itself upon each product as the years go by.
Thank you for visiting our site.

Flushing: A Healthy Obsession for Korean Food at Gahwa
As a I child, I struggled with my weight. What doting mother wouldn't feed her child a second or third helping of dinner; how could she refuse those chubby cheeks and beseeching requests for more food? But when she tired of punching extra holes in my belt and fielding subtle nudges from my baseball coach who thought I'd find a bit more success in Little League if I trimmed down a bit, I was put on a diet.
But it wasn't really a diet, per se. It wasn't salads or a sad heaps of steamed vegetables. It was back-to-the-roots Korean food. It was vibrant bowls of bibimbap and low-fat and inexpensive kettles of tang, or soups. Bin dae duk (mung bean pancakes), rich in dietary fiber, replaced the sometimes starchy and overly refined pajeon (scallion pancakes). The Korean diet, at its core, is essentially health food. It's seldom the luscious strips of samgyeopsal (pork belly) or velvety slabs of galbi (short rib), which seep opulence and fat (although both are meant to be eaten with plenty of raw veggies). The everyday meal speaks in vegetables, seasonal and fresh. It demands dietary fiber and it sparingly utilizes economy cuts of animal protein. And it would be unforgivable if it were ever bland or boring. Mediterranean diet be damned, we're on to something here.
What's New On Serious Eats
I was first introduced to Gahwa by friends who raved about their seolleongtang ($8.99), a startlingly milky soup that achieves its color and viscosity from laboriously boiling ox bones for several days. At Gahwa, the broth is fortified by a bit a few slices of beef, a handful of rice, and wisps of wheat noodles. But the star of the show here is that gorgeous bone broth, which diners coddle at the table with an augmentation of salt and chopped scallions.
Friends also spoke dreamily of Gahwa's excellent preparation of dolsot bibimbap ($13.95), a beautifully arranged package of fresh namul, or seasoned vegetables, and a bit of crumbled beef on a bed of rice in an ultra hot stone bowl. The mixture is meant to be cut with a dollop of sweet and spicy gochujang, and topped with an over-easy egg, and then energetically mixed amid a sizzle and pop.
The hot stone bowl achieves serious carmelization, or nurungji, and the diner gets the satisfaction of executing the final stage of cooking. After all, one is always more affectionate towards their dinner if they've cooked it themselves. If slaving over a hot stone bowl isn't your thing, Gahwa also serves a commendable cold version ($12.95), no less vibrant or satisfying.
If you're dining here, the bin dae duk ($8.95) is not to be missed. This pancake prominently features egg to bind the ground mung beans and finely chopped scallion, bean sprouts and pork. In fact, it was so wonderfully eggy that I was immediately reminded of a tortilla, the Spanish omelette that rounds out many a great tapas menu. And while you're at it, share a bottle of soju ($6) or two, or three. They're a steal here, compared to Gahwa's peers along Northern Boulevard or in Manhattan's K-Town.
My physique has since come to terms with what is an outwardly acceptable body type for your average on-the-go New Yorker. But that doesn't mean the diet of my youth has been discounted. I'm grateful to my mother for nudging me towards a healthier lifestyle, and I'm grateful for a restaurant like Gahwa to act as her surrogate.

The Knicks have fired head coach Mike Woodson, with team president Phil Jackson saying "the time has come for change."
Woodson led the Knicks to 54 wins and a division title last season, and the Knicks embraced their high expectations coming into 2013-14. But they got off to a dismal start and couldn't recover, going 37-45.
"The coaches and players on this team had an extremely difficult 2013-14 season, and blame should not be put on one individual," Jackson said in a statement Monday. "But the time has come for change throughout the franchise as we start the journey to assess and build this team for next season and beyond."
The entire coaching staff was let go Monday, Jackson said, and the search for replacements begins immediately.
Jackson has won an NBA-record 11 championships as a coach. He has repeatedly said he's not interested in returning to the bench, so he will have to hire coaches before he turns his attention to the roster.
Woodson, a former Knicks first-round draft pick, was hired as an assistant coach before the 2011-12 season, then engineered an 18-6 finish after replacing Mike D'Antoni on an interim basis the following March to capture a playoff spot. Given a multiyear deal two months later, he then led them to a 54-28 record last season and the Knicks' first Atlantic Division championship since 1994.
New York then beat Boston in the playoffs, its first series victory since 2000, and general manager Steve Mills picked up next season's option year on Woodson's contract before this season began.
But the Knicks were saddled with some early injuries, including center Tyson Chandler's broken leg, and Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan was already considering about replacing Woodson by December, when he met with Jackson at a holiday party and talked to him about coaching the team.
Carmelo Anthony praised his coach Thursday, but it was probably a clear sign Woodson wouldn't be back a few minutes later when Amar'e Stoudemire said the coach hadn't taken part in the exit meetings with players that Jackson and Mills held.
Woodson previously coached six seasons with the Atlanta Hawks, leading them to the playoffs in his final three seasons. He has a career record of 315-365.
The Knicks last won a championship in 1973.

Box and Bottle Cap Pincushions
April 7, 2011
I had to trash my teacup pincushion because it collected too much dust and the stitches were so big the pins fell through.
With some fabric scraps, a cardboard box, a bottle cap, string, rice, and poly-fil I was able to make these.
The one to the right reminds me of a mushroom! It was kind of fugs by itself so I added the bow with left over string. I wanted to attach it to a ring blank but didn't have one lying around.
They were really easy to make!

2012 Ford Focus SEL Hatchback gallery
Bullz-Eye is currently cruising around town in the hot selling 2012 5 DR Ford Focus SEL Hatchback and we were impressed from the get go! The test model has a sharp Kona Blue Metallic exterior and a charcoal black interior. Forget about everything you knew about the Focus as this "Detroit Star "was built from the bottom up and just about everything from the design to the 17 inch alloy wheels is eye catching. We'll let you know about how the 2012 Ford Focus handles and much more when we post the full review in the coming weeks!

Nightengale: Biogenesis saga could 'leak' new names
Just when you thought Major League Baseball had finally recovered from last summer's drug scandal, along comes Tuesday's wake-up call.
Tony Bosch, former director of Biogenesis, was among 10 people arrested on charges of conspiracy to distribute anabolic steroids to professional and high school athletes.
It came on the first anniversary of MLB suspending 13 players for using performance-enhancing drugs procured from the South Florida anti-aging clinic.
"This investigation," Mark Trouville, special agent in charge of the DEA Miami field division, said during a news conference Tuesday, "is not over."
Neither, apparently, is the cheating.
"Are drugs ever going to be out of the game? No," Kirk Radomski, the former New York Mets clubhouse attendant who was convicted for distributing steroids in 2007 to baseball players, told USA TODAY Sports.
"I still get guys calling me, asking me how to get to that next level. There are a lot of guys out there beating the system.
"There probably are going to be a bunch of guys who are worried now that the feds are involved."
How about petrified?
While the DEA is focusing on Bosch and his associates, including the cousin of suspended New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and a former associate of a high-powered sports agency, more baseball players have surfaced in the investigation, a law enforcement official told USA TODAY Sports. The official, who is not authorized to publicly comment on the matter, did not identify the players.
"This is going to turn into a non-stop leak situation," Victor Conte, the founder of BALCO who spent four months in federal prison for dealing steroids to athletes, told USA TODAY Sports. "I would think these players' names, in the neighborhood of 85, could be mentioned. My gut tells me they are going to be releasing more names.
"It's one thing to testify under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement in baseball. It's another thing to testify in a federal court or before a grand jury.
"Baseball, their only threat was, 'Hey, we'll sue you.' The Feds are saying, 'We'll handcuff you and put you in prison.'"
The key witness will be Bosch, 50, an informant last year for MLB's investigation into Biogenesis that resulted in 14 overall suspensions.
He faces a 10-year sentence and $500,000 fine from Tuesday's charges, but Bosch, with a plea deal in place, could ultimately serve 3-4 years in prison if he cooperates with the government, according to legal experts.
Bosch also admitted to providing steroids and performance-enhancing drugs to 18 children ages 15-17, according to federal authorities. The minors spent $250-$600 a month for the drugs, without being examined by a medical doctor.
"These defendants provided dangerous access to impressionable high-school kids," said Wifredo Ferrer, U.S. attorney for the southern district of Florida, "on the promise they would play better, recover faster from injury.
"Simply put, doping children is unacceptable. It is wrong. It is illegal. It is dangerous. Bosch and associates who distributed to athletes and children will be held accountable."
The majority of the baseball players — as many as 90, according to one major leaguer with knowledge of Bosch's documents but not authorized speak publicly due to the sensitive nature of topic — were introduced to Bosch through Juan Carlos Nunez, an associate of the ACES agency, along with Yuri Sucart, Rodriguez's cousin.
Nunez, who used Bosch's drugs as a recruiting tool, according to Ferrer, also operated an agency and drug operation in the Dominican Republic with Sucart. They employed street agents to procure players, while also providing testosterone with loaded syringes to the Dominican players.
Nunez, who was fired by ACES two years ago and banned from MLB after a failed scheme to create a phony website following Melky Cabrera's positive test, told the judge he has been unemployed since 2012. He refused to cooperate with MLB during the Biogenesis investigation, and has yet to speak to federal authorities about his role with ACES. Sam and Seth Levinson, who employed Nunez and are being investigated by the Major League Players Association, have vehemently denied any involvement.
"These defendants were motivated by one thing," Ferrer said. "Money."
Sucart, 52, banned by MLB from the Yankees' clubhouse and all of their facilities in 2009, also was charged in an eight-count indictment, including five counts of distribution of testosterone. The others charged Tuesday include former University of Miami pitching coach Lazaro Collazo; Carlos Acevedo, Bosch's business partner; and Jorge Velasquez and Christopher Engroba, who were considered Bosch's black-market sources.
Yet, while Radomski believes the federal government will focus on Bosch and his associates to divulge their drug sources and laboratories, Conte anticipates that Bosch will be used to snare other athletes using performance-enhancing drugs.
"They're going to want Bosch to tell people everything he knows," said Conte, who refused to cooperate with the federal government. "They're going to want him to do undercover work and make buys. They'll see if he's willing to wear a wire and cooperate with coaches, athletes and chemists. If not, they're going to pursue charges to the max.
"They're going to want (Bosch) to sign a proffer, and tell them everything he knows.
"Based on evidence, once this gets dragged into a federal criminal case, and there are more charges, I would not be surprised to see names come out for the next three years."
"This is going to drag on for quite some time."
Maybe, it never will end.
