Statistical Data on Cocainism and Morphinism in Austria
In connection with the arrest of a band of smugglers, the police have secured a list of surreptitious dealers in cocain and morphin. A raid on their stores of drugs netted some surprising results. It was ascertained that a single dealer had disposed of 73 kg. of cocain hydrochlorid in a single year. Another dealer had sold and transported 501 kg. of morphin to Hungary, a quantity sufficient to anesthetize the whole population of Central Europe. Although the normal consumption of cocain in the republic of Austria does not exceed 60 kg. yearly (normal use is for medical purposes only), it was established that the licensed sellers of narcotics (apothecaries, wholesale houses and drug dealers) had received 210 kg. of cocain. It would appear, therefore, that 150 kg. of the drug had either been "snuffed" in Austria or exported to foreign countries.

All Rise...
Judge Clark Douglas is a Wonder Bread man.
Editor's Note
Our review of A Song Is Born, published May 4th, 2009, is also available.
The Charge
Four fun, frantic films!
The Case
From the very beginning, it was clear that Danny Kaye was destined to be an entertainer. Born to Ukranian Jewish immigrants living in Brooklyn, Kaye (whose birth name was David Daniel Kaminsky) was a beloved class clown throughout his formative years. Once he graduated, it was on to vaudeville, short films, Broadway (where he got his big break by landing the lead role in a hit show called Lady in the Dark) and finally lavish musicals. Danny Kaye: The Goldwyn Years takes a look at four the actor's earliest starring roles, giving viewers an opportunity to see what kind of first impression he made on the viewing public.
The collection kicks off with Up in Arms, a 1944 comedy that casts Kaye as an endlessly paranoid hypochondriac who ends up being forced to serve in the U.S. military. It's a modestly enjoyable premise, but what's remarkable is what a capable star Kaye was from the very beginning. He's in full control of his craft in the film, whirring through one dizzying comic setpiece after another with staggering energy. The high point comes midway through, as Kaye delivers a musical number that takes us all the way through a fabricated cinematic melodrama. The actor impresses with his singing voice, rapid-fire delivery, assorted vocal affectations, comic timing and general feverishness, demonstrating in no uncertain terms that he is operating at a level of artistry the rest of the film simply never approaches. Alas, this would prove a familiar story over the course of his career.
Up next is the oddest film of the collection, Wonder Man, which features Kaye in a dual role: he plays the loud-mouthed, showboating stage performer Buster Dingle and Buster's bookish twin brother Edwin. When Buster is shot and killed by gangsters (!), the ghost of the late performer convinces Edwin to pretend to be Buster. Edwin isn't particularly good at mimicking his brother's bluster, so the ghost helps things along by occasionally possessing Edwin in order to give him the energy he needs to pull off a convincing impression. It's a strange, goofy film, but it certainly works as a showcase for Kaye's talent. He's predictably fantastic in his big, whirling moments as Buster (or Edwin-as-Buster), but he's subtly funny as the no-nonsense Edwin, too. Undoubtedly the weirdest of the films included here, but quite possibly the funniest. It also represents the first time Kaye co-starred with Virginia Mayo, who appears in every film in this collection except Up in Arms.
Alternately, the blandest film of the collection is undoubtedly The Kid From Brooklyn, a lackluster comedy that stars Kaye as mild-mannered milkman Burleigh Sullivan. Due to a series of contrived circumstances, Burleigh accidentally manages to involve himself an in incident that concludes with famed boxer "Speed" McFarlane (Steve Cochran, White Heat) getting knocked out. Photographs of the event make it seem as if Burleigh was responsible for the knockout, and soon the milkman finds himself being thrown into a heavily-promoted boxing match with the champion prize fighter. He's nervous initially, but eventually all of the praise the public is heaping on him starts to go to his head. As usual, there are a couple of tremendous showcases for Kaye's musical talents and physical comedy, but the surrounding plot is dull and predictable.
The final film of the collection is A Song is Born, Howard Hawks' musical remake of his own classic screwball comedy Ball of Fire. While Kaye is certainly an odd substitute for Gary Cooper, it generally works well enough (while never quite managing to recapture the magic of its predecessor). While the central character in the original film was working on an encyclopedia of all human knowledge, Kaye's version of the character is working on the humbler task of compiling an encyclopedia of all known forms of music. However, Kaye and his colleagues (one of which is played by Benny Goodman) aren't particularly familiar with this new-fangled "jazz" business, so they decide to do some further research (which leads to a host of fun musical performances). A thin premise, to be sure, but the tunes help compensate for that (jazz/big band icons like Louis Armstrong, Tommy Dorsey and Lionel Hampton play themselves). The downside: Kaye's performance is unusually muted (reportedly due to domestic difficulties he was enduring at the time), and his trademark zeal isn't present very often.
All four films included in Danny Kaye: The Goldwyn Years have received respectable full frame transfer. All four are in vivid Technicolor, and while there are some scratches and flecks present in each case, they aren't excessive. Generally, these flicks have been better-preserved than many Warner Archive installments, which is a plus given the copious sight gags offered up in each one. All four films have also received Dolby 1.0 Mono tracks, which are crisp, clean and simple. The only supplements included are theatrical trailers for each film.
Danny Kaye: The Goldwyn Years offers a solid overview of the first few years of Kaye's career as a movie star, and three of the four films are genuinely entertaining efforts. While the bare bones treatment is disappointing (a shame these movies had to be a Warner Archive release), the films themselves are worth seeking out.
The Verdict
Not guilty.

Post-Crescent Media

The final day of the prosecutors' case against David Dudas was difficult for jurors, some of whom got sick while watching graphic videos of him and his wife having sex.
Prosecutors say those videos — showing, among other things, choking, vomiting and violent sex — help prove he repeatedly battered and sexually assaulted his wife. Dudas' attorneys say that although the couple's relationship was "extreme," the sex was consensual.
Police arrested Dudas, 49, after a July 21 incident and 26 charges of 31 total charges were filed arising from incidents shown in the videos.
Beginning Thursday night and continuing into Friday, jurors watched about two hours of 17 videos police said Dudas filmed between March 2012 and July 2013 at the couple's home in Dale. Prosecutors opted to show parts of six videos.
Judge Tammy Jo Hock ordered that only she, jurors, attorneys and Dudas be able to see the videos in the courtroom, while members of the public, including news media, be limited to hearing audio from the recordings.
Dudas' attorneys argued that all of the videos should be played so jurors might see portions supporting his side of the case. Hock allowed the defense to show a portion where they said Dudas' wife was taking the lead and was more actively participating in the sexual activity.
In several videos, Dudas' wife is heard complaining of pain in an injured shoulder, which she previously testified about. She told the court earlier this week that when she complained of pain, Dudas would ignore her or inflict greater pain by pressing on the shoulder to "teach her a lesson."
Twice, jurors were allowed to take a break from watching the videos. The majority of the 16 jurors did not appear severely affected. One of the female jurors cried and two men became nauseous, including one who requested a waste basket. Other jurors grimaced or closed their eyes.?
At the beginning of the last video played, Dudas and his wife are heard arguing about finances, and he expresses frustration with her for not providing their records to him.
"Where are our financials? Why do I have to wait a few years to get them?" he says. " I can't even look at what I have because of you. Why do you do this to me?"
In the video, his wife apologizes. They then engage in sexual activities, but the wife is heard complaining of pain in her shoulder and asking for a pillow. Dudas tells her the shoulder isn't sensitive to the touch and tells her to put her arm down.
The state's two final witnesses were Outagamie County Sgt. Michael Fitzpatrick, the lead investigator, and Jane Graham Jennings, executive director of a domestic violence shelter and a sexual assault agency that offers counseling and emergency shelter for victims of abuse. ...

(The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are his own)
By Andy Mukherjee
SINGAPORE (Reuters Breakingviews) - The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has come up with a novel solution to the problem of failed initial public offerings: give small investors who lose money a refund.
The proposal would appear to undermine the basic idea that common shares represent ownership rights - and risks. But unless company owners face consequences for ultra-aggressive pricing, they won't stop abusing their information advantage - and the market for IPOs will remain moribund.
SEBI is right to worry that small investors are being fleeced by insiders with superior information. Between 2008 and 2011, 55 out of 117 Indian IPOs traded at least 20 percent below the offer price after six months of listing.
Bankers have slammed the proposal as a draconian intervention in a free market. But SEBI is not seeking to eliminate the risk of underperformance altogether. Only small investors - those who had applied to buy less than $900 in stock - will be allowed to return their shares at the offer price. The option will only be triggered if both the absolute share price drop and decline relative to the broader market index are 20 percent or more within three months. And majority owners' repurchase obligation will be capped at 5 percent of the IPO size. Insiders will still have an advantage over new investors. But they will be discouraged from using it too blatantly.
Being responsible for ensuring positive trading in the secondary market might scare away a handful of IPO aspirants. But it will prompt those that remain to pay more attention to pricing their offers fairly. It will also put more pressure on investment banks to avoid dud issues.
There's no question that India needs to restore investor trust. Last financial year, households pulled out a net 93 billion rupees from equities and mutual funds. In September, IPOs raised less than $7 million, while rights issues, where the market has already established a price, scooped up more than $1 billion.
It's not yet certain whether SEBI's proposal will be formalised: chairman UK Sinha recently hinted that a "milder form" of safety net might be introduced. But if the final rules are watered down too much, they might be ineffective. And that would defeat the whole point.
- The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) plans to implement a safety net for retail investors in initial public offerings, chairman UK Sinha said on January 9.
- SEBI has proposed giving small investors one chance to return their shares to controlling shareholders, or "promoters" as they are called in India, at the original offer price. The option will trigger if both the absolute drop in the share price and the decline relative to the broader market index are 20 percent or more three months after listing.

When I attempt to use the
See Full Map function in Windows 7
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center it always abends.
I really have no idea what the problem may be. I am sure this Windows network topology map function worked when I was using the Win 7 pre-release. However, now that I am using the retail RTM version of Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) I can no longer create a Network Map. My best guess from the (so-called) "help" provided is that a "device" (my router?) is incompatible with Microsoft's Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) protocol.
Below is a text diagram of my LAN. The error occurs even when the only system connected to the DIR-655 is my Win 7 desktop. This is why I suspect the DIR-655. But what could be wrong??
If a setting in my router is preventing LLTD from working I have no idea which it might be. Was hoping I might get a suggestion on what to start looking at.
Type of Connection
[] coax
( Internet ) | wired ethernet
( ISP ) : wireless ethernet
[Motorola SB5100 "Surfboard" cable modem]
+ D-Link DIR-655 router, firmware v1.34NA, 2010/04/16 +
| | Wi-Fi
| | :
[Win 7 64-bit] [Seagate Dockstar] [MacBook OS X 10.6.4]
I've tried resetting the DIR-655 to factory defaults, rebooting Windows, then trying to map my network. It failed in the same way. But at least now I have some confidence the problem is not a result of anything (obvious) which I did to the configuration.
For what's it's worth, this function works again. I do no know when it started working again. I do not know why it is working. But it is working now.
Is there a way to close a question as "No longer any point in pursuing?"

TEMPE, Ariz. - The third-ranked Texas A&M softball team wrapped up an easy 5-0 win over the Nevada Wolf Pack before having the nightcap against Northwestern suspended due to inclement weather.
It took the Aggies until the third inning against Nevada to plate a run. Freshman second baseman Natalie Villarreal logged her first homerun as an Aggie blasting a 3-1 pitch over the left-centerfield fence to give A&M a 1-0 lead.
Amanda Scarborough followed up Villarreal's homer with a two-run shot of her own just three batters later, scoring Megan Gibson who'd reached base with a walk that broke the Big 12 career record (125).
The Aggies would extend their lead to 5-0 in the fourth inning when sophomore shortstop Macie Morrow managed a rare two-RBI sac fly to centerfield that scored Kelsey Spittler and Holly Ridley.
The Wolf Pack had two runners in scoring position in the fifth with just one out. Gibson struck out Tyler Schafer before walking Noel Micka to load the bases. Gibson escaped the inning unscathed as she enticed a 6-3 ground out to end the fifth.
The Aggies chased starting pitcher Katie Holverson (2-2) from the game in the fourth inning. Holverson was charged with the loss for Nevada after surrendering all five runs to A&M. Jordan McPherson finished the remaining three and two-thirds innings, not allowing anymore runs to cross for the Aggies.
Gibson (4-0) earned her fourth win of the season working seven complete. She gave up five hits and two walks as she struck out four Nevada batters. The shutout drops Gibson's ERA to a minuscule 0.54 on the season.
Scarborough was given the start in the circle against the No. 6 Northwestern Wildcats.
Northwestern started its 2008 season by plating two runs in the first inning. With one out, Tammy Williams, Nicole Pauly and Michelle Batts spread singles across the field.
A&M quickly counted with two runs of its own in the bottom of the first. Villarreal drew a seven pitch walk to start the inning. With one out, Gibson stroked on 0-1 ball to dead centerfield for the 44th homerun of her career to even the score two-all.
The two teams wavered back and forth with NU platting another run in the second and two more in the third off three hits and a hit batsman. The hit in the second inning was a solo shot by the left-handed hitting Kelly Dyer to rightfield.
In the third inning, Morrow brought the Aggies back within one as she launched her second homerun of the young season; a two-run shot that more than cleared the right-centerfield fence. Scoring on the play was Spittler, who like Villarreal, reached on a walk to start the inning.
The Wildcats tacked on three more runs over the fourth and fifth innings. With two outs in the fourth Darcy Sengewald doubled to right field and came home on a Williams singled to nearly the same spot, to score Sengewald from second.
After giving up a homerun to Batts to start the fifth, Rhiannon Kliesing was brought in to relieve Scarborough. With the bases empty Kliesing coaxed a pop up before surrendering a walk E Dyer. Quinn was brought in to pinch hit and singled up the middle to push the Wildcats' lead to 8-4.
Villarreal and Morrow patiently drew walks to start the bottom of the fifth before Gibson was nailed in the arm with an 0-1 pitch to load the bases for Scarborough. With the bases loaded and no outs, the umpires called for a rain delay.
After nearly an hour of delay, the game was called for the day and will be finished Sunday morning at 9 a.m.

I have an x2.6 chip installed with the Xapt3r. Modded it a long time ago, and I don't remember what I did. Had a lot of fun with it. Then I got the 360 and the original Xbox pretty much collected dust. I pulled it out to play a few times, but nothing much. Recently, I tried playing it again and I get a FRAG on both banks and a 05 error with the chip off (unlocked HDD). The chip seems to be fine - all the LEDs turn on. I'm not sure what's wrong. I never soldered the D0 wire, but it stays in its hole fairly well; enough to work up to this point at least.
I want to get an external programmer (made a topic in BST - no success so far...cheapest I see online is $20 or so. I'd rather buy or borrow from someone for cheaper). But anyway, is this the recommended course of action? Any other ideas/suggestions?
Also, let's say I do reflash the chip or even get a new chip - would I lose everything I've set up in the HDD? It's a 500GB with UnleashX on bootup, games, emulators, etc.

A heart felt THANK YOU is one of the most powerful blessings. Here is the "Thank You" spell. Practice this often, do this often. It has powerful positive effects on your incarnation.

Love Spell
Starfields writes: Today, someone asked: "How can I change everyone to love me using love spells?" This is a common request we receive here. "I need a spell to be more loveable!" - "Do you have a spell so I can find love?" - "Is there a spell to be more popular?"
Yes, there is - THE STAR SPELL. It's a proper energy magic white light spell, not a fantasy. If you really want more love in your life, here it how you do that ...
Have you ever tried to cast a love spell and it wasn't working? Well, here's an end to all of that. We have a brand new book on love spells, 2015, for modern people - and without any candles, herbs, or anything other than your heart, mind and soul!
This energy magic Soul Love potion has a fun origin - an Xtra Magic subscriber mailed in and asked how much of the Gypsy Rose Love Potion one should drink before love comes into one's life. Ooops! In the olden days, love potions were made to be given to an intended, so they would marry you ... Three drops, at that ...
However, that gave me the idea for a love potion you can drink yourself. More love is always better than less love!
*Update - Looking for a magic potion to find my soul mate? Yes, this one is the one!
There's nothing like a red rose for a love spell - or a sacrifice, for that matter.
Here's an example of magic with roses, using the magic of roses for romantic purposes, sexy purposes and in general, to really give a lift to the whole incarnation ...
Josh wrote and asked: There's this girl in my class who is in love with me, following me around and always making eyes at me. My friends are laughing at me. What spell can I use to get this girl out of my tail?
Danny from Canada wrote, "There is this boy in my school and we had a great time one night together, it was amazing.
The next day, he totally ignored me and avoided me.
I'm upset - I don't know what I've done wrong. Did I say something? Am I not pretty enough? Is there something wrong with me? I need a spell!"
I've received a request for a healing spell for a friend who is heartbroken because of love pain.
That's really nice; most people only ever request spells for themselves and that can be problematic. Doing a loving heart healing spell for another person is a wonderful gift. You can use this spell for any friend who could do with more love in their lives, or a relative, or a lover, or a child. Beautiful spell, only two ingredients - your intention and your love.
Now I get a lot of spell requests, but the one single spell most requested above all is "What spell do I use to get my Ex back?" I've always been dubious about this but there is a way to make these spells to get back those who have told you they don't love you anymore (!) actually work - and also, why they generally fail if you don't know this.
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! If you have a lover or a love interest, you'll be sorted; but if you don't, don't be sad. Perhaps today is the day to do something about it; to find out if you're ready for a new relationship. Here is an interesting take on catching a new partner using interior decoration in a magical way. Enjoy!
Elizabeth wrote: I need your help (Spell Request) This is why this spell is important to me.
Bill wrote: I was enchanted by your entry about the law of three. Could you please however explain it in a way which is really really simple for someone who does not understand these things?
How does it apply, for example, to a love attraction ritual ( = to attract love in my life)?
When we think of a love potion, the first thought is rose, of course. Different kinds and different rose colors for different types of spells, like white rose for spiritual love, yellow rose for friendship, red rose for romance and so on. But there's other things you can make a love potion out of, and cherry blossom, being one of the most powerfully romantic nature moments, makes a special kind of love potion that is quite unlike rose. This is a love potion for the oldest, and the youngest witches - a love potion for new beginnings.
EVERY woman - old or young! - NEEDS THIS BOOK: The Love Clinic by Sandra Hillawi. Don't let the title of "clinic" put you off - there's nothing clinical about this book. It's pure magic. You want love spells? This book is full of them. Only they're called techniques not spells, as to not put the average muppet in the street off of buying this book. This book spells the end of "being at the mercy of men" in every way you can imagine.
Love pain? Here's how to heal it. For real. QUICKLY. And forever. Going mad with jealousy? Not a problem any more ... Stuck in a crush? Here's how to get out, get on, and have fun with NEW men.
Need to increase your X-Factor to attract adoration, attention, love and devotion? Yeah, that's in here too. Am I kidding?
I get asked on a regular basis for a real love potion that really works. Now every love potion is only as good as the witch who makes it, but this one is as fool proof as any potion could possible be. It's a family recipe (I'm half gypsy) and it really works with a minimum of basic potion ingredients that are easy to get hold of. So hopefully, love may now come to all who keep on asking!
He can't let go, can't move on and he's making my life miserable. And that of my new boyfriend, and of course, his own life as well. I guess he needs a healing of some kind but what to do?
Tiffany wrote: Hello, I would like to request a spell to break up my relationship. My boyfriend is a very kind and gentle soul and I wish him no harm or heartbreak. I want us to stay friends and for him to be happy. The problem is, a few years ago, we bound each other by using a ritual.
I need a spell powerful enough to break it but also a spell to keep us friends. Can you help?

My latest boyfriend cheated on me, treated me terribly and now he's left me. I am all alone - again. I have a lovely daughter and a son, but I'm just so sad and I am afraid I'll never find someone now.

EA Licenses Unreal Engine 3 for Upcoming Titles
Written Tuesday, April 08, 2008 By James Parkin
Under its initial Unreal Engine 3 license with Epic Games, EA has been utilizing Unreal Engine 3 on several important cross-platform games including: Medal of Honor Airborne™ and Army of Two™. Details of the additional games in development under the new license agreement are not being released at this time.
"With the largest and most talented studio operation in the world, it's critical for us to give our studio teams the best tools they need to make great games," said Frank Gibeau, President, at EA. "This agreement reflects our commitment to Epic's technology which, in combination with our own cutting-edge systems, allows us to create ground breaking hits."
"Epic is committed to providing EA with the premier development infrastructure, tools and technology for its upcoming games," said Mark Rein, vice president, Epic Games. "We're extremely excited that EA has chosen to expand their use of Unreal Engine 3 and we can't wait to see more of the great games they will produce with it."
Unreal Engine 3 is a complete game development framework for next-generation consoles and DirectX10-equipped PCs, providing the vast array of core technologies, content creation tools, and support infrastructure required by top game developers. Every aspect of the Unreal Engine has been designed with ease of content creation and programming in mind, with the goal of putting as much power as possible in the hands of artists and designers to develop assets in a visual environment with minimal programmer assistance; and to give programmers a highly modular, scalable and extensible framework for building, testing, and shipping games in a wide range of genres."
So guys, what do you think? It means more games like Army of Two and Metal of Honor: Airborne. Are you excited? A Blessing or a curse? Feel free to post your reactions via comments.

Mayoral Candidate Proposes to Girlfriend During Debate
That's special.
Chris Young, a candidate for the mayor of Providence (who is described by a local news station as "Rhode Island's perennial gadfly candidate," so he probably isn't a major contender), decided to spice up last night's debate by proposing to his longtime girlfriend (and campaign manager) during his closing statement, ring and all. Interestingly enough, this is only the second-strangest thing Young has done during a debate this summer, as well as the second-strangest thing he has done this week.

Our commitment to diversity is led by our Diversity Task Force, a team of partners and associates from throughout the firm's various offices. These individuals share a strong commitment to increasing the firm's diversity, and they use their unique experiences and backgrounds to support and advance that goal. The Diversity Task Force meets regularly to create programs, schedule events, establish diversity initiatives, set long-term goals, and develop the strategy to recruit and retain people from diverse backgrounds. The Task Force promotes its commitment to diversity both inside and outside of the firm, including efforts to increase diversity in the wider legal and business communities.
Goldberg Segalla's Diversity Task Force is led by Joseph M. Hanna, a partner in our Buffalo office. Mr. Hanna is the founder of numerous diversity initiatives in various organizations and outreach programs, serves on numerous diversity-related committees, and is a frequent author and speaker on diversity. He is a past President of the Minority Bar Association of Western New York (MBAWNY), the current President of the Minority Bar Association of Western New York Foundation, Inc., and has been recognized for his diversity- and community-related accomplishments with the Diversity Trailblazer Award and the Outstanding Young Lawyer Award from the New York State Bar Association, the Community Service Award from the Defense Research Institute, the Community Leader Award from the National Federation for Just Communities of Western New York, the Diversity Excellence Award from the Buffalo Niagara Human Resource Association, and the Value Award for Diversity from Leadership Buffalo.
In the summer of 2011, Goldberg Segalla proudly welcomed the first interns to join a law firm through a formal Diversity Clerkship Program that was conceived by Mr. Hanna while he served as President of the MBAWNY. The program was developed in collaboration with the MBAWNY and the SUNY Buffalo Law School to provide opportunities for minority UB Law students to gain firsthand experience in the legal system. Since it was launched in 2011, the program has placed more than 50 students in clerkships in area courts as well as in several area law firms, with more judges and law firms asking to participate every day. It provides participants with an in-depth look at the legal process and the interaction between the bench and the bar that they would not otherwise get. At our firm, a dedicated team of two partners monitors the work of these law clerks and ensures they obtain valuable experience to help develop important legal research, writing, case management, and client service skills critical to their long-term success. It earned the firm the 2012 George B. Vashon Innovator Award from the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA) in the category of Pipeline Initiatives.
We are also proud to sponsor Success in the City, an annual diversity networking event that brings together diverse individuals to promote diversity, create mentor-protégé relationships, and facilitate recruiting opportunities in law and business. The inaugural 2011 event drew nearly 500 political and business leaders, legal professionals, and students. Success in the City has influenced the development of similar programs nationwide and has been replicated in Baltimore, Cleveland, Birmingham, and Dallas.
Our firm is committed to spreading the message throughout the broad legal and business communities that embracing diversity contributes to greater overall success. We conduct training sessions for in-house counsel at Fortune 500 corporations on increasing and promoting diversity. Our attorneys have authored articles and delivered presentations on diversity for various legal organizations, including the Defense Research Institute and the American Bar Association, and our efforts and accomplishments in this area have been profiled in publications such as Business First, the Buffalo Law Journal, and the New York State Bar Association's State Bar News.
Goldberg Segalla is proud to be a member of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA) Firm Affiliate Network, which was created by the MCCA to assist and acknowledge law firms that are committed to advancing diversity and inclusion in the legal profession. We are also proud of the fact that the MCCA honored us with its 2012 Innovator Award (see above).
We are also a member of the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD), a national organization of leaders in law firms and corporate legal departments dedicated to creating a truly diverse legal profession.
We support the diversity efforts of numerous organizations, including:
Our attorneys serve in diversity leadership roles in several of these organizations. For example, in addition to recently serving as President of the Minority Bar Association of Western New York, Mr. Hanna holds numerous diversity-focused chair or liaison positions at the Defense Research Institute. He has actively been promoting diversity for over seven years — since he began practicing law. Mr. Hanna currently serves as the National Chair of the ABA's Minority Trial Lawyer Committee as well as the ABA's Special Committee on Human Rights. He is spreading the message of diversity not only throughout the Western New York community, but into others as well.
Our outreach efforts led to the creation of a comprehensive database of more than 500 minority law organizations throughout the United States. Contact between these organizations takes place in anticipation of bringing CLE and legal programs together. This group of minority bar associations includes both local and national organizations, such as:
Goldberg Segalla's culture is one that values team-spiritedness, collegiality, and interpersonal harmony within our working community. We are a firm that believes in diversity in the workplace, and we are proud to offer a professional and positive work environment for each and every member of our team.
Goldberg Segalla is committed to an equal employment opportunity for all individuals and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation or any other classification, as protected by federal, state, or local law. Equal employment opportunity extends to all personnel practices.
Diversity is further evident within our firm through the many languages and dialects our team speaks, including Arabic, Croatian, French, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Malayalam, Mandarin, Marathi, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, Tamil, and Thai.
If you have questions regarding any of the firm's diversity initiatives or would like to discuss ideas regarding increasing diversity in the legal profession, please contact Mr. Hanna (716.566.5447;email@example.com) or another member of our Diversity Task Force:

Pension gaffe costs Venice taxpayers $23,000
Published: Friday, March 11, 2011 at 8:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 11, 2011 at 8:44 p.m.
VENICE - Taxpayers are on the hook for $23,000 in unexpected interest payments, and the city will have to tap into reserves to cover a deficiency in its police and fire pension fund.
In response, the City Council is re-assessing how the city pays into employee pension funds and why the finance director failed to make a required $800,000 deposit into the police and fire pension funds last fall.
The "mistake," as Finance Director Jeff Snyder called it, cost taxpayers $23,000 in interest and required money from reserves to be spent to pay the overdue bills.
"I've gotten confusing information from the director of finance," said Mayor John Holic, a former investment broker who once sat on the police pension board. "That removes $800,000 out of the reserve fund that we've been working our tail off to increase. This needs to be looked at a little deeper."
Snyder said his department was going through a reorganization in the fall when the payments were due, and the clerk who typically made the pension payments had been laid off.
"We missed the pension payments; it was a mistake," Snyder said.
The missed payments — about $368,000 for the police fund and $462,000 for the fire fund — first came to light during a Feb. 22 City Council meeting, the day after the firefighter pension fund attorney sent a threatening letter to the city.
"To date, these funds have not been received and are now delinquent," wrote attorney Scott Christiansen in a Feb. 21 letter to City Manager Nancy Woodley. He added that the fund was charging the city $3,000 a month interest since the Sept. 30 due date. The city has since paid both pension bills, plus about $23,000 in interest.
"We are funding 100 percent of what is required," Snyder said.
The city has three employee pension funds; all are financed and managed differently.
For employees other than police and firefighters, the city contributes about 10 percent of payroll to the Florida Retirement System, which manages investments and pays benefits.
Police officers and firefighters contribute about 10 percent of their salaries, with the state and city also making contributions. Both have advisory boards and hire their own attorneys and actuaries, who determine how much is required to meet promised benefits to current and future retirees. The actuaries tell the city how much it owes.
Mostly because of a battered stock market, actuaries say the city firefighter pension fund is underfunded by about $16 million and the police fund by about $11 million, according to the 2010 annual reports.
The city is ultimately on the hook to fully fund those plans, which will require larger contributions next year. For example, the city will have to increase its firefighters pension contribution from 39 percent to about 50 percent of payroll.
The underfunding of public employee pension funds has become a contentious issue across the country as municipalities and state governments grapple with retirement funds that do not have enough money to cover all the promised benefits to retirees and workers.

Windows 7 has built-in support for burning an ISO to CD or DVD. I'd like to go the other way, and have been looking around docs and Google, but can't find anything directly answering this: Does Windows 7 have a native utility to make an ISO from a CD, or is an add-on such as ImgBurn or LC ISO Creator needed?
I don't think a tool is included with this functionality. ImgBurn as you mentioned should work fine though.
Windows 7 is unable to do this without third party software. As you stated, ImgBurn, UltraISO, MagicISO are all possible candidates.
WinRAR - http://www.rarlab.com/ works great as well. Just right click on the ISO file and select Extract.

Too Late, Baby
For all of its 80-odd years of existence, the Houston Zoo pretty much operated on its own -- using city funds, ticket revenue and private donations to operate and build new facilities.
A little over a year ago, though, they decided to finally hit up Uncle Sam in a big-time way in order to build a covered outdoor theater that could seat up to 4,000 people.
Getting the initial cash was a breeze: Congressmen John Culberson and Gene Green worked to get approval for $200,000 for preliminary studies for the project.
The trouble was, those funds were considered "earmarks." And these days in Washington, voting for earmarks has all the popularity of voting for child porn.

TicketsSun., Aug. 28, 3:00pm
The proposed funds are on hold, part of a general move by the new Democratic majority to show how unlike the old Republican majority they allegedly are. While there's a chance they might sneak through by a method that somehow avoids looking like a dreaded "earmark," right now it looks like the zoo waited just a bit too long to get in the federal-funding game.
Zoo spokesman Brian Hill says not all earmarks are bad. "Earmarks have gotten a bad reputation," he says. "We think this was a project that helps the zoo fulfill its education mission and especially its education mission for children, so in that regard we thought that that would be a good thing."
And if you'd done it just two years ago, when Congress was handing out earmarks like Christmas cookies, you'd have been golden, right?
"I don't know what to say about that timing, but that was the timing we chose," he says. "If we don't get that money, that doesn't mean the project is finished. We'll have to seek the funds somewhere else."
Although the zoo funds show up on the pork list of the D.C. group Citizens Against Government Waste, CAGW vice-president Dave Williams says Houston is not a particular hotbed of earmarks. Far worse are cities in Alaska and West Virginia, he says.
So, zoo people, you know who to blame. And next time, for crissake, hop on the gravy train before it leaves the station.
Vice Ain't Nice
Houston police busted the gentlemen's club Treasures recently, saying they were acting on tips. We thought that sounded like nearby Westheimer businesses were trying to shut the place up -- why raid that tourist-area club, as opposed to others more discreetly located? -- but HPD says that's not the case.
The tips came not from nearby businesses but former Treasures dancers who'd become "disgusted" by colleagues prostituting themselves, says HPD Captain Steven Jett, who heads the vice squad.
HPD investigators went to the club and experienced, Jett says, "touching...where [dancers] put their breasts in the officers' faces."
Zut alors! So, do a lot of guys sign up for this duty?
"A lot of officers think it's very glamorous until they get here," Jett says. "Officers get stuck with some less-than-tasteful jobs, like picking up girls on the streets who have tuberculosis, AIDS, venereal diseases...the officers have to arrest, sometimes even fight them...It's not Miami Vice. There are not beautiful girls strutting around. Some officers think that's what it's gonna be, until I send them into a bookstore at three in the morning."
Can You Get a Teacher Bonus From HISD?
The Houston school district recently handed out $14 million in teacher bonuses, using an extremely complicated formula that somehow determined that winners of Teacher of the Year awards, or teachers who consistently led their students to high achievement, shouldnt qualify for a bonus. Needless to say, the results didnt exactly thrill the folks who didnt get the checks. Especially when the list of winners became public, making it easy to identify those teachers marching around with a great big Loser sign on their foreheads.
HISD says it will tweak the formula next year, but in order to help teachers as much as we can weve converted all that math into an easy-to-understand pictorial representation of how to find that bonus jackpot. Click Here to play.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House Ethics Committee says it is investigating two congressmen, Illinois Democrat Bobby Rush and Kentucky Republican Ed Whitfield.
The bipartisan panel acknowledged the separate inquiries on Friday in terse statements that did not say why the lawmakers were being investigated. The committee said it will announce its actions on both investigations by Nov. 10.
Whitfield said in a statement the complaint pertains to his work on behalf of animals. Whitfield's wife is a lobbyist for the Humane Society Legislative Fund.
The Chicago Sun-Times has reported that Rush was being examined for allegations about his use of campaign funds and for his handling of a $1 million grant.

About Mark Sealey
Mark Sealey is a British expatriate working and living in Southern California with his artist/writer wife, Roberta Lannes-Sealey, whom he met in 1996, when the web, she and he were much younger. Mark's interest in computers began in the the early '80s when his father suggested that, If we don't understand how to control them, they'll creep up behind us and make life unbearable. Have they? Using the venerable Acorn system until his move to the US, Mark wrote extensively about the BBC and RISC machines. He concentrated chiefly on education, music and productivity/system software; at the time Micronet and Prestel led the way for wide area networking… he published over 2,000 articles for these outlets. After graduating with a humanities degree, Mark was a teacher for 20 years until 1994 - first in Italy then the UK. Becaming increasingly attracted to the world of information technology as a major contributor to children's learning and development, he eventually moved to editing the UK's chief journals in the educational computing. He has always enjoyed freelance reviewing, consulting, editing and writing. When he moved to the US, he was fortunate enough to find full time employment at a major arts non-profit as a software engineer; though it's doubtful if there's a single skill which he was originally hired to use that's still in daily use. Mark is also a composer of chamber and orchestral music, music critic, a published poet, photographer and environmentalist with an enthusiasm for fitness, vegan nutrition and long distance running. He is now convinced that only humans' humility can save our planet.

Speech is, by far, one of the neatest features of Macs. It's also one of the least used. It seems that everybody turns off speech recognition for one reason or another. Some people say it's too slow while others say it uses too much memory. Not only is it useful, but it's a lot of fun.
There are two types of speech uses on a Mac. One is Text to Speech (TTS) while the other is Speech Recognition. Combined, these form PlainTalk. Text to Speech is the easiest to use. If you open any speech savvy application, such as SimpleText, you can type and have it read back to you in a variety of voices depending upon your system. There is also a Mexican Spanish TTS system available off the Internet. This allows your computer to read back Spanish with an accent. In PlainTalk 1.5, TTS can read alert boxes that pop up.
While having your Mac talk is fun, it is limited in its use. Speech recognition, the second part of PlainTalk, is where the real fun begins. With this on, you can open files, empty the trash, find out the time and date, close windows, zoom windows and even change the view of windows. Those are just a few of the things the Finder will do. If you have any speech savvy applications, many will be able to be controlled with speech.

Excellent and easy. I followed the recipe but I would imagine you could substitute almost any fruit for variety. So easy and good. Thank you Erin.
This is SO EASY!!! Wowee!! I'm so happy that I came upon this recipe! I will definitely be making this recipe in the future! It's a wonderful summer salad!! Delish!
Very refreshing sauce! Added a squeeze of lemon juice. Good with peaches and berries, too.
This is just wonderful!! Easy and Tasty!! I had some sour cream that was near its expiration date, so i made it for an easy dessert...i tried with and without the sugar, and i think both were very good...!!! I also tried this recipe with apples, oranges, and berries, i think grapes and berries work the best, but the two others aren't bad at all...
Very interesting..It reminded me of a cheesecake topping I make. I did add 1/2 tsp. of vanilla extract to this also, I almost wanted to add lemon zest.. Great. Thank You Erin-
I make something vry similar using white seedless grapes, blueberries and sourcream. (no sugar) Let chill and serve.
I loved it. It may take awhile for my 6 year old to get use to it but he did try one and said it was great too! Easy and healthy snack!
This is wonderful. I have been making nearly this identical recipe for years. A drop of vanilla enhances the richness of this sauce. My husband says it reminds him of cheesecake with grapes. Everyone who has ever tried this adores it!
Yummy, very different! Thank you!
i think dad made this for us more than once. i love it though.

July 17-22, 2016
Sponsored by the Institute of Judicial Administration (IJA) and New York University School of Law, in cooperation with the Federal Judicial Center's Orientation for New Federal Appellate Judges.
IJA invites applications to attend the 2016 New Appellate Judges Seminar. This program is designed for, and open only to, judges with no more than four years of experience on federal courts of appeal, state supreme courts, and state intermediate courts of appeal. The IJA Seminars have been conducted every year since 1959 and have been attended by appellate judges from virtually every state and federal appeals court.
The Seminar curriculum combines practical training for new appellate judges with exposure to current issues of substantive law. The sessions will be taught by a distinguished faculty of jurists and academics; please refer to the 2015 Agenda for an example of typical Seminar topics. Seminar sessions are informal and interactive, with the faculty leading discussions rather than delivering lectures. It is very important that program participants attend all sessions and remain through the end of the program.
This event is seeking approval for New York State CLE credit. If approved, it will be categorized as nontransitional credit and not acceptable for newly admitted attorneys (those admitted to the New York Bar for less than two years). Approximately 21 hours of continuing legal education credit are expected to be available.
Location and Lodging:
The working sessions are held in NYU School of Law, located in New York City's Greenwich Village. Participants can secure lodging at a variety of hotels that range in price from $235 to $400 or more per night. We will send hotel and group rate information directly to program participants after we have accepted them to the program. Please do not make any non-refundable hotel or airline reservations before then. Also, please note that while we negotiate block room rates, IJA does not make any hotel or travel reservations.
Travel and Subsistence:
Each judge will be responsible for his or her own travel and living expenses. For help in defraying these expenses, judges should contact the staff responsible for judicial training in their courts.
The Federal Judicial Center will cover certain costs for Article III federal appellate judges. If applicable, please contact Trudy Walter of the Federal Judicial Center at 202-502-4058 or firstname.lastname@example.com for guidelines.
The first event of the Appellate Judges Seminar is scheduled for Sunday evening, July 17, permitting an open weekend to take advantage of Broadway theaters and other New York City attractions. Most sessions end by 4:30 p.m. In addition, IJA organizes an optional theater event and a dinner outing.
Since we receive often more applications than we can accept, and we aim for a diverse representation of courts and regions, we regret that we may not be able to accept all interested applicants. We strive to make room for all interested judges within a year of application, if possible. Applications should be received no later than April 15, 2016, and acceptance letters will be mailed on a rolling basis in March and April. The application form should be filled out in an external PDF viewer and saved or printed, and can then be mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to the address below. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Tuition Fee:
There is a tuition fee of $1,000 for the program, which covers instruction, course materials, the opening dinner and daytime meals during the Seminar.*
