AstraZeneca Pleads Guilty In Cancer Medicine Scheme
By MELODY PETERSEN
Published: June 21, 2003
WILMINGTON, Del., June 20— AstraZeneca, the large pharmaceutical company, pleaded guilty today to a felony charge of health care fraud and agreed to pay $355 million to settle criminal and civil accusations that it engaged in a nationwide scheme to illegally market a prostate cancer drug.
The government said the company's employees had given illegal financial inducements to as many as 400 doctors across the country to persuade them to prescribe the drug, Zoladex. Those inducements included thousands of free samples of Zoladex, worth hundreds of dollars each, which the physicians then billed to Medicare and other federal health care programs, prosecutors said. The company also gave doctors financial grants, paid them as consultants and provided free travel and entertainment, the government said.
The $355 million that AstraZeneca, a British company, agreed to pay is among the largest settlements in a heath care fraud case. Of that amount, about $64 million is a criminal fine. The company will pay about $266 million to the federal government to settle most of the civil accusations. An additional $25 million will go to settle accusations that it defrauded the Medicaid programs, which are partly financed by the states.
The largest fine for health care fraud came in a settlement in October 2001 by TAP Pharmaceutical Products. It agreed to pay $875 million to settle criminal and civil accusations that it had engaged in a scheme that largely mirrors the allegations made by prosecutors against AstraZeneca.
''We want doctors to prescribe what is best for their patients and not what is best for the doctor's bank account,'' Richard G. Andrews, first assistant United States attorney for the District of Delaware, said at a news conference. He and other prosecutors said the government's action should send a message to all pharmaceutical companies that such conduct will not be tolerated.
Prosecutors said that they did not plan to charge any AstraZeneca employees for the illegal activities that they say began in 1991 and continued until last year.
''The investigation did not discover any evidence to implicate AstraZeneca's upper levels of management,'' Mr. Andrews said.
Mr. Andrews said that AstraZeneca had reported false and inflated prices for Zoladex to the federal government so that doctors could earn significant profits by prescribing the drug. Medicare reimbursed the doctors based on the inflated prices that AstraZeneca reported, he said, while the company charged doctors for the drug at deep discounts.
For example, the company reported to the government that the average wholesale price for a monthly dose of Zoladex was about $300, prosecutors said, but doctors were charged about $170 for that dose. That resulted in a $130 profit to the doctor, the government said.
Rachel Bloom-Baglin, a spokeswoman for AstraZeneca, said today that the company was accepting responsibility for giving doctors free samples of Zoladex with the understanding that they would bill the government for them. These activities, which took place from 1993 to 1996, resulted in the criminal charge.
But she said that the company disagreed with prosecutors on the other charges, including the accusation that it had provided false and inflated pricing information to the government.
''We disagree with the government on this, but to put it behind us, we are agreeing to a settlement today,'' Ms. Bloom-Baglin said. ''We believe that this is in the best interest of our company and employees.''
''We strongly believe that the pricing for Zoladex was at all times lawful,'' she added.
Zoladex is one of a limited number of medicines that doctors buy directly from drug companies and that Medicare now pays for. Many of these medicines are used for cancer patients and are administered in doctors' offices.
Earlier, the government charged three urologists with conspiring to bill the free Zoladex samples they received from the company to the federal government. Two of those doctors have pleaded guilty and await sentencing.
''Whether any further doctors should be charged is an ongoing question,'' Mr. Andrews said.
The government's seven-year investigation of the marketing of Zoladex began after an executive at TAP, a competitor, filed a whistle-blower lawsuit against both TAP and AstraZeneca, prosecutors said.
The two companies compete aggressively in the prostate cancer market, with TAP, a joint venture of Abbott Laboratories and Takeda Chemical Industries, selling a drug called Lupron. Both drugs are considered equally effective at halting the production of testosterone, but they are administered differently. Zoladex consists of tiny pellets that must be injected with a larger needle than that used for Lupron, which comes in a liquid form.
The criminal investigation in the TAP case is continuing. More than a dozen current and former employees have been charged with conspiracy to pay kickbacks to doctors, including Alan MacKenzie, who was the president of Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America at the time of the indictments. One employee has pleaded guilty; the others have denied any wrongdoing.
Several urologists were also charged in the TAP case.
The whistle-blower, Douglas N. Durand, a former vice president for sales at TAP, will receive $47.5 million of the settlement in the AstraZeneca case as allowed by federal law. Mr. Durand already received $77 million from the TAP case.
Lupron has long dominated the market and prosecutors said that was why AstraZeneca was not forced to pay as high a fine as TAP. Sales of Lupron were $876 million in the United States last year, compared with $212 million for Zoladex.
The two cases are part of a growing number of investigations and lawsuits into the marketing practices of pharmaceutical companies. AstraZeneca disclosed earlier this year that federal prosecutors in Boston had requested documents about the sale of Prilosec, a drug for ulcers and severe heartburn. The company also said the Federal Trade Commission was investigating its advertising and marketing of Nexium, the company's new heartburn drug.

This week, Flurry Analytics added User Acquisition Analytics to its collection of insightful analyses. User Acquisition Analytics gives you the ability to measure and compare your user acquisition efforts at both the Campaign and Channel level. In turn, this allows you to adjust your efforts to focus on the channels that provide the best quality users for your app. User Acquisition Analytics can measure any campaign medium supporting custom URLs, including channel types such as ad networks, email campaigns, mobile-web sites and even QR codes.
You will find the new functionality in both the Applications tab, where it is focused on a single app, as well as on the Company tab where you can compare channels and campaigns across all the apps in your portfolio.
On the Reporting page you will find information allowing for the review and comparison of the results of your Campaigns and Channels, whether historical or in-flight. Here you have the ability to:
- Review the Clicks and Installs for each campaign/channel
- Review both Custom Quality Metrics and Standard Quality Metrics to gauge performance of the campaign
- Review charts showing performance over time for Clicks, Installs, Quality as well as Install Rate and Quality Rate.
- Drill into a given campaign and see the conversion funnel for that campaign at an overall level and across time
Measuring Quality
Flurry User Acquisition Analytics allows you to measure the quality of the users acquired in the terms that matter specifically to a given app, as wells as across apps for comparison.
When setting up a campaign, you can choose to assign a Custom Quality Metric. For this metric, you can select either a User Conversion Funnel or a User Segment that has been previously defined in Flurry Analytics. This means that you can leverage the full power of Flurry Analytics, including Custom Events in defining quality.
In addition to the Custom Quality metric, Flurry User Acquisition Analytics automatically creates three Standard quality metrics that leverage the Lifecycle metrics within Flurry Analytics. These metrics are:
- Multi-Session Users – Any user that launched the app more than once is included in this metric. This is useful for measuring how many of the users were "one and done" users.
- 2-day Retention – Any user the launches the app on Day 2 or later – Requiring only a single day to show results, 2-day Retention provides a relatively quick read on the engagement of users
- 7-day Retention – Any user the launches the app on Day 7 or later – While it responds a bit more slowly due to the long period, 7-day Retention provides an excellent measure of engagement
Filtering Analytics by Channel/Campaign
In any page within Flurry Analytics where you can apply a Segment, you can now also apply a Campaign or Channel filter. The header that used to read "All Segments" has been replaced one that reads "All Users". Clicking on that header reveals a menu allowing you to select from Segments, Campaigns and Channels. You can use this functionality to review metrics such as Lifecycle, Session Frequency or Event Occurrences for specific channels or campaigns.
Review Demographics of your Campaigns
Understanding the many attributes of the users acquired from different sources can aid in the optimization of user acquisition efforts. One great example of the power of User Acquisition Analytics within Flurry Analytics is the ability to review demographic data for Campaigns or Channels. Using the Campaign/Channel filtering mentioned above, you could, for example, see the Age or Gender of the users that were acquired via a given campaign. If you are focusing on different user attributes in a given campaign, you can use this information to judge the effectiveness and value of those optimization efforts.

Local Sally Wingert makes Broadway debut
A star of the Twin Cities scene for 25 years, Sally Wingert has been absent from local stages for a good chunk of 2010 as she plays out her own excellent adventure. It started with a three-month stint on London's West End as a cast member of La Bete. It continued last week when the transferred production of the show opened on Broadway. "It was my first Broadway opening and it was wild," Wingert said in an email. "The audience response was electrifying. They roared throughout the performancethen leapt to their feet at curtain call. It was thrilling."
David Hirson's ribald take on Moliere--it's even written in rhyming couplets--played to sold-out houses through its London run. On Broadway, the show is scheduled to run until February. Wingert's role is a small one, but she's still thrilled to be part of the ensemble for the piece, which stars David Hyde-Pierce, Joanna Lumley, and Mark Rylance (who was excellent as the title character in the Guthrie's production of Peer Gynt).
This is the show's second trip to Broadway. It ran in 1991 for a scant 40 performances before finding a second life in London (it went on to win an Olivier for best comedy), and then in regional theaters in the United States since. According to Wingert, the show's original Broadway issues came up opening night:
"During curtain call Matthew Warchus, our director, and David Hirson, the playwright, were called onstage. Matthew quieted the audience and spoke of the joy and honor he felt working on this brilliant play and then he spoke of this production as an homage to the first Broadway production of La Bete directed by Richard Jones which many felt was closed too soon."
The lead trio has been a joy to work with on the show. "They're smart, funny, and incredibly generous. It would be easy to forget they are famous because they are the anti-divas. Every night as they exit the theater to crowds of people waiting for their autographs, I realize they are celebrities and that their oblgatiosn aren't quite over for the night," Wingert says.
As in her summer spent in London, Wingert hopes to have time to explore New York City, from museums to sites to neighborhoods. "I hope to see some plays, some perform on Sunday night when La Bete is off."
The show is scheduled to run through February unless the producers choose to close it early. "Right now, the houses are strong and there's no hint of an early exit, but that could change in a flash," she says.

Music to Your Ears
By Laura Marrich
The Ground Beneath Gets Live—Steve Civerolo, lead singer and guitarist of Burque metalheads The Ground Beneath, called me from somewhere in Missouri last week. It was the second time in as many months I've talked to the band from their touring vehicle, The Van Beneath, while en route to a gig outside New Mexico. This is not a band of slackers. (Steve keeps a complete log of every show the band has played at www.thegroundbeneath.com.) And to put an exclamation point on all the intense touring and promotion they do, TGB is made up of just three people. (Although I like to think of their long, luxurious hair as the group's fourth member. It's silent but violent.)

The first time I saw Black Tie Dynasty was at a little club on the crusty edge of downtown Dallas called The Double-Wide. A little after midnight, the band shoved their way onto the stage as I waited, sipping a drink in the back of the darkened, bunker-like room. Eventually things settled and their set began.

I'm probably one of the only showgoers in town who's never stopped in on an of god and science gig. Shame on me. Gorgeously executed and recorded, original discs like this one make me proud of our not-so-little-anymore music scene. It's easy to get distracted by the careful arrangements and pitch-perfect pop hooks on this self-titled release. If you're paying attention, you'll also catch some wonderfully subtle drum work. I'd love to smash these guys into genre Tupperware for you, but some of their mellow, alt.country, indie, Beatles-influenced goodness would surely slop over the side.

The persistent paparazzi problem is nothing new, but Prince William and Kate Middleton are fed up with folks following their 13-month-old son Prince George everywhere he goes.
He stepped up and filled in for his pregnant wife Kate Middleton and Prince William looked to be having a blast during his visit to Malta on Sunday (September 21).
The handsome Duke of Cambridge showed up at the Agenzija Appogg youth center in Valletta and proceeded to play foosball with some of the local kiddos while shutterbugs snapped up photos.
Gearing up for another day of fierce competition, Prince William and Prince Harry showed up at The Athletics at The Invictus Games on Thursday morning (September 11).

Taking care of his royal duties, Prince William showed up at the University of Oxford on Monday (September 8) for the opening of The Dickson Poon China Centre.
During his tour of the facilities, the handsome heir was greeted by a little girl who gave him a bouquet of flowers to congratulate him and his wife Kate Middleton who just announced their pregnancy.
They've settled into parenthood quite nicely since the birth of Prince George last year, and now Prince William and Kate Middleton have another bun in the oven!
According to Kensington Palace, the Duchess of Cambridge is having another rough time with her pregnancy, as she's being treated for Hyperemesis Gravidarum, otherwise known as acute morning sickness.
It's no secret that he loves to fly the friendly skies, and now Prince William has accepted a job with the East Anglican Air Ambulance company.

Skyrim: Dawnguard PS3 and PC news 'coming soon' says Bethesda
Skyrim: Dawnguard still hasn't hit PS3 or PC thanks to a 30-day exclusivity window between Bethesda and Microsoft. But the studio has broken radio silence on the incoming DLC. Full quotes after the jump.
Over on Twitter, Bethesda's Pete Hines said, "Just sit tight. We'll have info soon." following a barrage of requests for new information on a PC and PS3 release date for Skyrim: Dawnguard.
Last week Hines shed some light on the situation, "We have not announced Dawnguard for any other platform, nor given a timeline for any such news. If we have news, I promise I'd tell you."
Skyrim: Dawnguard hit Xbox 360 on June 26, meaning Microsoft's 30-day exclusivity window is already up, meaning an PS3 and PC release date could be imminent.

Excellent product so far. Have taken Carditone for 6 weeks My heart has settled down very well. I am now waiting to see what the long-term result will be. I am dreaming that my Atrial Fibrilation will stop altogether. Unlikely, but will wait and see. Anthony, Melbourne, Australia. Am well into my third bottle of Carditone, which equates to 11 weeks. I am 77, my blood pressure has dropped to about 130/80 (unbelievable), and although I know I still have Atrial Fibrilation my blood pressure monitor cannot pick it any more, and neither can I. After trying various drugs without avail I am finding Carditone to be a minor miracle. Anthony, Melbourne, Australia.

Lessens Pounding Heartbeat
Posted by Reviewer1690278 on Dec 16, 2012
I suffer from a pounding heartbeat, which can happen at any time of the day, but which often kept me from falling asleep at night. I am 56 years old. Since I began taking Carditone, the pounding heartbeat has been much less severe. It now is not happening at some times and is much less noticable at other times. I also take supplemental magnesium and ubiquinol (reduced form of CoQ 10), but I get much more relief when I take the Carditone also. I sometimes skip the magnesium or ubiquinol, but I never skip the Carditone. I have taken it for around eight months, but it started working for me within the first several weeks. Nothing other than magnesium had ever helped at all before, and Carditone works much better than magnesium alone. There is magnesium in Carditone along with herbs. I occasionally take two Carditone if the pounding is very severe, such as when I am overtired. I have never had any side effects to this, and my cardiologist has not objected to me taking it. No medication had ever helped alleviate the pounding heartbeat, which I have suffered with for over eight years. My blood pressure, which had never been extremely high, has been in the normal to low normal range the last several times I have been to the doctor. I do not know if this is due to the Carditone, but it could be. I would highly recommend this product, based on my great results. I will always continue to take it.

I have used Carditone about 6 years ago and it reduced my blood pressure significantly. I'm a 69 yo male. Over the last few months my BP had increased again to around 155-97. Within a week of starting Carditone again it had reduced to 138-83 (average over 1 week) Excellent results again. Delivery ex USA to "the other side of the world" took under a week. Great product and great service!

Excellent results with blood pressure control-not having to take prescription medication!
Excellent product!

I have used this formula for years... It is a great formula and works so well... sorry to see that the price has jumped six dollars overnight... I can no longer afford to buy it now and will have to purchase another formula that is affordable. I think the company has priced themselves right out of the consumers comfort zone. Sad to see this..
Bought for family, didn't work!

Dosage if somewhat hard to figure...I use 2 caps on an empty stomach in AM and 1 cap in evening...not cost effective but it helps.

David Frost — who has interviewed seven U.S. presidents, six British Prime Ministers, and numerous luminaries in music and movies — is up for a new adventure.
The 66-year-old British broadcaster will be packing up his bags at the British Broadcasting Company and moving to the English-language channel of the Arab cable TV channel Al-Jazeera.
Al-Jazeera says Frost, who broadcast his final "Breakfast with Frost" program for British Broadcasting Corp. in May, will debut in the spring and will be among the "key on-air talent" on the 24-hour news and current affairs channel.
In a statement, Frost is quoted as saying that he's excited about the new job.
"Most of the television I have done over the years has been aimed at British and American audiences," said Frost. "This time, while our target is still Britain and America, the excitement is that it is also the 6 billion other inhabitants of the globe."
Frost's interview shows have long attracted world leaders. He notched 500 editions of "Breakfast with Frost" before bowing out.
Al-Jazeera has had repeated run-ins with the U.S. administration, which contends that the network's exclusive broadcasts of speeches by Osama bin Laden and other terrorist leaders show an anti-American, pro-terrorist bias.
Al-Jazeera denies it holds any anti-American bias and says it reports the news objectively.
The English-language channel is part of the network's expansion. Al-Jazeera, launched in 1996 in Qatar, recently began an Arabic-language children's channel as well as a sports channel and another dedicated to covering live events without an announcer.

Eli The Computer Guy says in the Youtube video "VPN - Virtual Private Networking" at 08:25 that a VPN tunnel was shut down and recreated with a different set of routers when an attack was detected on the VPN tunnel.
How can the VPN connection actively change the network route? Isn't an Internet connection established automatically through routing tables and is therefore outside of the realm of things the VPN can actively influence?

Blackstormx Hijacks Thc Code
Posted 05 July 2004 - 05:35 PM
|Here we were. Us tHc guys, waiting with anticipation to see the unfolding of an impressive looking new app that could take the msdash down into the depths of death with a mighty bellow from its metaphorical fog horn after hitting the iceberg of limited possibilities.
So JbOnE, Gcue and myself downloaded BlackStormX today with anticipation, bated breath and a deep desire that this dash would be "the shiznit."
The dead give away should have been the fact that the rar file was password protected for absoloutly no reason?
were these guys homosexual or hiding something?
I turned on my xbox (running tHc with a hack so that it reads .xbe names). Where was it ?
No BLACKSTORM X xbe's in sight.
I looked closer, but I couldn't see any mention of blackstorm x. "Strange" I thought. Finally I noticed a tHc LITE xbe showing up that shouldn't have been there.
Blackstorm X. A blatent rip off of tHc? yes. A sloppy rip off of tHc? HELL YES.
The .xbe name actually reads "tHc LITE" - I tried launching from Ava, UnleashX and EvoX, and exactly the same happened. They didnt even rename the name of the xbe they nicked off us !!!!.
If I was a psychologist I'd have said "this explains the pass-protected archive" :/
Damn i thought.
Meanwhile, JbOnE was taking a look at this "next generation" (LMAO!) dashboard and noticed the readme gives credit to tHc for ...
-Skins archieving from skin.xip
-Hard Drive Space (hack by fuck_db and implemention initally by thc)"
(BTW Bob - the HD space mod was not just a fuck_db's patch - JbOnE and db worked together to make that patch so FINAL would have drive info - and then db made US a patcher - it only was released to public when FINAL was put on the back burner. Once again, get your facts straight.)
The LED xbe hack is stolen code from tHc member (who is not mentioned because he wants to remain anonymous until FINAL is released). Its not new and it certainly isn't your's.
As if that wasn't enough to make us hate the dashboard, the .xap's are bloody rip offs too!
They didnt even code their own xips the gits.
All of BobMcGee 's code was either cut and pasted from ours (he did think far enough ahead to rename some functions and variables lol) - or he had Gcue "help him to do it" while he still said he intended it to be a "tHc add-on".
Next, the screensaver! (YES- THERE'S MORE!)
Is that really an original groundbreaking idea?
This screensaver concept is the original work of JbOnE who was working on it for FINAL before he made the mistake of trusting BobMcGee with it, who immediately posted to the public his "original" idea.
BlackstormX is...
ZogoChieften: his color mod code gives no credit as to it's origins -> VulgusProfanum.
BobMcGee: has blown us away with his incredible, shamless theft.
AcidBath: has made the only ORIGINAL contribution to the dash with his meshes (someone should tell him to bail b4 he goes down with the "BSX" ship lol).
To be honest, we're absolutely appalled and blown away that any one could do this to us.
The xbox scene seemed special before today, each member of it is working together to achieve something, hundreds of members help newbs each day to get to grips with the system, we pride ourselves on sharing, helping and free software.
We never expected to see plagiarism on this scale anyware, least of all in the xbox hacking community.
Please don't host this dashboard or send it to anyone.
Please don't hype this dashboard.
Please don't repost what has been placed on their site.
This is infriging our intellectual rights for the hell of it and we aren't happy about it at all.
Remember the release of OutRun X (which was taken off Shenmue II). Xbins refused to host that game and the community pulled together to give a one finger salute to the plagerist.
We hope this will happen with blackstorm too, and the community we have developed for for so long will help us.
As we aren't some corporate giant and as what we do is essentially "legally questionable", we're unable to take legal action against BlackstormX for the amount they have stolen from us.
Instead, we ask the xbox community to prevent them from gaining any satisfaction from what they have stolen from us. We're counting on user loyalty (and brains - it's not gonna take you guys long to see you've been handed a knockoff). You want a better dash to work with - grab the wip BobMcGee got his education & ideas from in the usual places. Don't support plagiarism - support creativity.

Where does thc get off accusing others of intilectual properly infringment!??!
|This is infriging our intellectual rights for the hell of it and we aren't happy about it at all.
Well i dont think they did it for 'the hell of it' They did it so they could use your code, add a few little tidbits and release it as their own hacked xbox dash. You infinged on MS rights. You think they were happy about it?
|we're unable to take legal action against BlackstormX for the amount they have stolen from us.
You stole the entire MS dash! How can you get mad at others who do the same to your project as you did you MS.
Jesus virtually every xbox has copywrited code in our modified bios's. Infringment.
Copies games on the hard drive. Infringment.
Emulators (roms). Infringement.
Anything built with the xdk is infringing on MS IP rights. So don't go crying when your project is stolen just like you did to others.
Boo hoo you lost credit for your project. MS (and other game developers) are loosing tons of MONEY (read : puts food on table, your credit for code doesnt - aka money more important)
If you want to bitch about not giving credit where it is due thats fine (and I agree) but to bitch and moan about IP crap is just retarded. Look at yourself before you accuse others of what you've done yourself

The Dash is from MS , yeah , but all the additional code added to THC and THC LITE was done by THC Team , none of the code that THC Team added was code from MS. so THC code is not stolen from anybody , BullShitX Team stole THC code and made it like they added it. so shut the fuck up.
Posted 05 July 2004 - 09:32 PM
u think the people who own the actual legal rights were happy when u did this?
its true that they totaly copied your work but apart from expecting people to shun them what else can you legaly do?

|Response to the Rantings of thc
It's shameful that I even have to dignify the unfounded slander posted recently by Discworld, the semi-retarded mascot of thc, with a response. First of all, Gcue had nothing to do with the post. He knew nothing about it, so to say that thc has an issue with our group is flawed. thc consists of Jbone and Gcue and any remarks made by people outside this circle should be tossed in the trash rather than posted on xbox-scene. If there is anyone who is angry, it's JbOne who has been acting like a 3 year-old not wanting to share his ball with the other kids. Gcue has been in our channel chatting quite a bit without any negativity.
Every member of BSX spent the preceding year doing work on the thc dash. IceCool was one of the main admins for their site. I wrote the game found in thc lite. Zogo and acid have also made contributions to the thc scene. The origional BSX dash was built on thc lite and intended to be an addon for lite. The first code for it even had switching for the menu to toggle between thc lite and the BSX style dash. We were quite content working on advancing the thc dash and never had any intention of forming our own group in the first place. Then we woke up to find that all our admin privledges had been revoked and Jbone was regulating what could be shared with others. MSdash hacking has always been synonymous with thc. It only seems fair that if we are going to put work automatically labeled generically as "thc" that we can post the work ourselves.
Despite the fact that Jbone has contributed little to the msdash scene other than insults for some time and had announced his "retirement" on several occasions, he continued to try to interfere with anyone attempting to get credit for their work, labeling it as "stolen code." Who would want to do anything for the dash under those conditions? Hence the formation of BSX.
With that said, it should come as no surprise that all links to thc with regards to code aren't completely severed. Great effort was taken to remove as much thc code as possible from the thc lite copy on which we had origionally based the dash. Discworld seems to think the fact that the xbe says thclite internally is significant. While perhaps sloppy, it definitely does not indicate theft. MS wrote the xbe...I can patch anything I want in it but it doesn't mean I wrote it.
Credit for the few functions which were used, such as auto add, skins from the skin.xip archieve, and the HD space was given in both the readme and within the comments in the code itself. If there was anything left out they feel they should have gotten credit for a simple e-mail, or PM on mIRC will clear it up, but Jbone would rather throw a temper tantrum then talk like an adult.
Now the topic of this screensaver is just plain stupid. Jbone spazed out earlier when I tried to release this claiming I "stole" his code. When confronted on the his blatent lie, he changed his story saying the "IDEA" of a screensaver was his. Ya right, and I have an idea for a magic flying car... according to thc I should get credit for this magic flying car if anyone builds it.
Bottomline is that BlackStormX is going to continue to write code whether or not Jbone likes it. It can cry all he wants....pout...sulk...whatever manchildren do for attention...and its not going to change anything. If Jbone wants to talk, we are always available, will be receptive to his concerns and will address them accordingly. As for the lies drummed up by a retarded mascot...I have recycling bin on my desktop.

HP Officejet 5610 All-in-one Software won't install
I have a Officejet 5610 all-in-one which was previously functioning fine on my notebook with Windows 7.
In trying to fix a problem with the all-in-one, I uninstalled the software.
When i tried to re-install, i could only get the print function to work. It was apparent that the software did not fully re-install as I no longer had access to the HP Solution Center. I can no longer get the device to scan.
I tried to download the software online. Although the installation wizard appeared on my screen, it would not fully install the software (just stopped in the middle and disappeared).
I have tried repeatedly to fix this. I have downloaded the scan doctor, etc. but nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions welcome.
Re: HP Officejet 5610 All-in-one Software won't install
Hello rrgreer,
It sounds like the uninstall did not work completely. I recommend to 'scrub" all the HP printer drivers/software from your computer and reinstall by doing the following:
From Original installation CD:
1. Insert CD into drive, and then cancel the installer
2. Open My Computer, and then right click on the CD drive and chose open
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. Run the L4uninstall.bat
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
9. Download the full feature software and drivers
10. Run the download to reinstall the printer
If software was downloaded and extracted to your system:
1. Type %temp% in the run field
2. Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. Run the L4uninstall.bat
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
9. Download the full feature software and drivers
10. Run the download to reinstall the printer
Re: HP Officejet 5610 All-in-one Software won't install
Thank you very much for the detailed reply, but unfortunately, your suggestion did not work. The installation wizare appears on the screed after the download, but just stops, and disappears, about 30 seconds in.
A few other comments:
- for ignorant layman like myself, the means to get to the "run field" is not self-evident. I had to separately look that up.
- There were about 20 folders that began with 7z. I just found one which had a util folder and used that for the rest of your steps.
- the correct name of the file (in your #5) is Uninstall_L4.bat. (You had L4uninstall.bat)
Don't mean to be persnicketly, but thought you might want to be aware.
Again, many thanks for spending the time to respond.
Not sure what I did to my computer when I did the first uninstall of the software, but perhaps I did it in a manner that fools the wizard into thinking the software is still on my hard drive. I will tell you that in addition to using the Windows uninstall function, I went into my c: drive (via Windows Explorer) and deleted other files that appeared to be related to HP.
Re: HP Officejet 5610 All-in-one Software won't install
To make sure ti is the right uninstall.bat, I would delete all of the current 7z folders, run the installer once, then proceed with the steps I listed previously as there should be only one 7z folder at that point.
Re: HP Officejet 5610 All-in-one Software won't install
Unfortunately, the software still wouldn't install. The wizard/installer comes on, works for a short while (including asking me to agree to terms), and then quickly closes out. The final thing I noticed before the installer disappeared, however, is that it said "applying updates" (where before it said "checking for updates." This makes me think that somehow the installer is being "fooled " into thinking the software is on the computer, when it is actually not.
The 5610 is partially functional. I can still print. I can scan if I open up the printer on the control panel and manually tell it to scan. But the HP solutions Center is not on my computer, as far as I can tell.
A couple more comments. One, is that i previously tried a system restore to an earlier point, hoping that would remedy the probelm (it did not). Two, is that when I follwed the second procedure you suggested (ie, removing all the 7Z files and re-running the installer, I thereafter still found two 7Z files. Only one of them had a Util sub folder so I just used taht one to run the L4 uninstall>bat file.
Thanks again for your help. This is driving me crazy and I'm on the verge of just buying a new/different printer.
Re: HP Officejet 5610 All-in-one Software won't install
Go to www.hp.com Enter the product name / number. Be sure to check the additional information, like how to install the driver or troubleshooting guides.

Ok, even though you are not receiving an error, the following article has alot of good general troubleshooting you can try:

The new home of
County Conwy, situated in north Wales, has a stretch of coastline that includes the iconic coastal resorts of Llandudno, Colwyn Bay and Rhyl. In fact when you take a holiday cottage in County Conwy they are either on the coast or close by the coast and very handily placed for day trips to Anglesey, the Llyn Peninsula and Snowdonia; providing for the most perfect holiday in north Wales.
With an abundance of unspoiled natural beauty visitors can relax in unrivalled tranquility. Thanks to a close proximity to Snowdonia it's immensely popular with those that love the outdoors and its coastal location makes it equally well suited for those looking for great family seaside holidays.
Llandudno has been a popular coastal resort since Victorian times with its famous promenade, long pier (the longest in Wales) and elegant seafront architecture, which has largely remained unchanged over the decades. Its combination of having an excellent location and lots of things to do and see provides for the perfect family holiday by the sea.
Just a short distance along the coast is Colwyn Bay, which again proved a very popular seaside resort with the Victorians, as it is today. The seafront has undergone considerable investment with watersports center, shops and bistro providing excellent facilities to holidaymakers.
Although you'd be forgiven for choosing to simply relax on your break, there's plenty more to see and do.
Conwy Castle is probably the most notable testament to the region's rich and colourful history. Thanks to a dramatic backdrop of Snowdonia, and a well-preserved façade, it offers a truly atmospheric visitor experience and a remarkable recreation of what life must have been like in medieval Conwy. Further scenic explorations of the town's history can be found at the medieval walls and thanks to a lofty position they offer incredible views of the town, mountains and sea.
More of the town's architectural wonders can be found at Plas Mawr and the fairly self-explanatory 'Smallest House in Britain'. The former is one of the UK's finest examples of Elizabethan architecture and the latter, standing at approximately three metres by two metres, is an incredibly small residence which was once owned by a fisherman, who was as tall as the house is wide, the property is now a popular tourist attraction.
Take a look at our selection of holiday cottages in County Conwy.

Betws-y-Coed, the 'gateway to the Snowdonia National Park' is only a few minutes away by car, whilst in the other direction, Llangollen, home to both the International Eisteddfod and the Llangollen Railway, is well worth a visit.

National Trust Holiday CottageA restored, detached Victorian farmhouse in an outstanding location in central Snowdonia with stunning mountain views including the Snowdon Horseshoe and Moel Siabod. Dyffryn Mymbyr Farm House was built in the early 19th century as part of the Penrhyn Estate. It is located on a working farm and heated by an innovative and low carbon wood-pellet heating system. The house and farm are the setting of the iconic book I Bought a Mountain, a classic tale of life on an upland Welsh farm between the two world wars by Thomas Firbank. Another famous occupant, and the donor of the farm to the National Trust, was Esme Kirby, an environmental campaigner and founder of the watchdog group, Snowdonia Society. Close by is the mountain village of Capel Curig, a mecca for climbers and walkers, whilst the pretty village of Betws-y-Coed is nearby. In the other directions is Pen-y-Gwryd and the dramatic Llanberis Pass leading to the village of Llanberis at the foot of Snowdon. Shop 1 mile, pub and restaurant 1½ miles.
Two steps to entrance. Living room with wood-burning stove, large picture window overlooking Moel Siabad and tiled floor. Sitting room. Dining room with original oak panelling and wooden floor.

Dating back to the Victorian era and a former vicarage, this large detached property is located slightly off the A5 historical route between Betws-y-Coed and Capel Curig. The property is an excellent location for visitors wanting the walks of Snowdon on the doorstep, including Llanberis Path, the easiest and longest route, The Miners' Track, Snowdon Ranger Path and the Watkin Path. The holiday property has been carefully restored retaining many original features, boasting a cosy and atmospheric wood-burning stove, whilst a medieval highgate bed captures the Victorian period. The elevated gardens to the rear (steps may be slippery when wet) overlooks the mountains and local countryside. Capel Curig nestles in the foothills of Moel Siabod, Y Glyderau and Y Carneddau, endorsing the majestic view of the Snowdon horseshoe. Afon Llygwy flows through the village, making its way down to Betws-y-Coed, a nearby village where forests, lakes and mountains combine to produce a stunning landscape. Coffee shops, craft houses, a miniature steam railway and a number of good eating houses are located in the centre of Betws-y-Coed village.Day trips to consider would be Bodnant Gardens, set in one of North Wales' most famous estates, or Conway, with its castle walls, marina, selection of shops and delicatessens, not forgetting the smallest house in the UK according to the Guinness Book of Records. Llangollen in the opposite direction is a pleasant Welsh town with its horse-drawn canal boats, light railway, Dr Who experience, and world famous festivals such as the annual Eisteddfod. Beddgelert is a short drive and is good for walkers or children wishing to visit Gelert's Grave. Most areas of the Lleyn Peninsula are within an hour's drive, where good beaches and watersports can be found. Portmeirion village is also great for a day trip with its exotic plants and Italianate buildings. Fishing and golf are available within 5 miles. Shop 1 mile, pub ¼ mile.

Ch. 8.3 Japan: Growth of a Military Society
Strong Leaders Take Over
Who was the leader that finally won control over Japan and united the people?
How did Japan going into isolation effect its culture?
How did Japans banning of guns stabilize the social organization of the country
Look, If you had one shot, one opportunity, to conquer all of Japan, one time, would you go for it or just drink some tea.
Yo armies ready, samurai swords are steady, you conquered a city already, other leaders are fretting
but Yo, your not nervous you look calm and ready, but other leaders are talking trash bout you already,
He's gotten to big and you cant stop him now, but you've grown too proud and your addicted now, yo, he's got political power now, you better run, Buddha wont save you now!

I'm trying to calculate the bandwidth delay product between various hosts, and reading this wiki article, I am confused.
From the acticle;
Residential ADSL2+: 20 Mbit/s (from DSLAM to residential modem), 50 ms RTT
B×D = 20×106 b/s × 50×10-3 s = 106 b, or 1 Mb, or 125 kB.
One of the connections I am testing from, to a test host, is an ADSL2+ connection. It has a downstream sync rate of "11006 kbps", I am guestimating that 10000Kbps is a reasonable theoretical maximum throughput. When "ping'ing" the test host from the ADSL2+ line I get an RTT of 29ms. The test host is connect to the "Internet" with a 100Mbps Ethernet connection.
Now, here's the confusing part; Performing a speed test against the server (it is running a copy of speedtest.net's mini speed test app) I get 9.23Mbps for the downstream. According to that Wiki article, 10000000bps * 0.029s = 290000bps (290 Kbps), which is much less than my 9.23Mbps.
Have I missed something obvious, or is the article wrong?

We would like to thank the following sponsors who support us in bringing you all the celebrity denim news you love.
Kate Moss in Paige Edgemont in Red/Black Stripe
Kate Moss was spotted having fun with some sparklers at a friend's house in Gloucestershire, England. The supermodel wore a pair of jeans we haven't seen her in for a while, the Paige Edgemont in Black/Red stripe with some black boots and kept it warm with a fur coat.
What I love about Kate's style is that she consistently pulls out older pieces from time to time. Clothes have no season according to her, so it is great to see her in these jeans again, especially since they are such a strong pair. You can click here to purchase these jeans EXCLUSIVELY at Net-A-Porter.

"The City With An Odd Childhood" Top 5 Page for this destination Oklahoma City by mrclay2000
Oklahoma City Travel Guide: 398 reviews and 776 photos
Oklahoma City ranks in the top 30 among American cities for population and among the top 5 for total area (622 sq mi). Formed on the banks of the North Canadian River, she grew up from scratch after the Land Run of 1889, when Indian lands were opened for homesteaders and settlers.
There are a lot of things to do here and most areas are easy to reach, but one generally thinks little of being an ambassador to his home town. If you like the races, we have world-class Remington Park. If you like the movies, we have a growing number of stadium-style theaters with up to 24 screens. We have some great art museums, incredible prehistory museums, several historic districts and a wonderful collection of churches throughout the city. Our urban renewal program (MAPs) is attempting to beautify downtown with a canal that wanders through historic Bricktown, which is also developing.
- Pros:A great place to grow up, if you're into that sort of thing
- Cons:We lag Dallas by four months on cultural transfusions. . .
- In a nutshell:Slow-paced and modest, but growing prettier every day

I used to travel to there 15 years ago, and always liked the city and its people were friendly. Not only oil makes a good city, but culture too.
Renaissance offers great Senior's specials on certain days! Hope we can catch a few days in O C when I finish up my 50 states! Greetings from Augusta, Ga
Really interesting.
Correction, we at Citychurch have a chair lift available at our side entrance. Anyone unable to climb the stairs may enter at the chair lift and enjoy the entire cathedral including the Charming Corridor, without stairs in their way.
Very great tips of the architecture of your city, thank�s for all this great pics.... Ismael
Well done!! My sister lives here, I should have read your pages before going to OKC, you have so many tips !! LOL!!
This station is no longer in use. A brand new one has been built and is very nice i might add.
Wow! 106 tips on Oklahoma City! I didnt know there were that many things to do. I guess i will have to plan a trip back now.
Was in OKC a couple of weekends, ago, visiting some friends. Went to the National Memorial and the Alfred P. Murrah Museum and was really moved. First time I've been there or back in OKC in some 20 plus years. Was amazed how much the place had changed.
Thank you for the good words at Kyiv pages. U've created very special and stylish pics and descriptions of Oklahoma! :) Sunshine, Anna

France Won't 'Sharply' Raise Household Natural-Gas Prices
The French government won't "sharply" increase regulated natural-gas prices for households, according to Industry Minister Eric Besson.
"There are several scenarios on the table," including that prices rise slightly or moderately, Besson told RTL radio today. "The only scenario that I have pushed aside is a sharp rise in the price of gas."
Prime Minister Francois Fillon will likely decide on new rates by the end of the week, he said.
France's highest court has suspended a government decision to freeze regulated gas prices for consumers and ordered the energy ministry to set new tariffs within a month.
The ruling has thrown into question the way regulated prices are set in France for GDF Suez SA, the former monopoly that is still 36 percent state-owned. The government, facing presidential elections next April and May, is under pressure from consumers not to raise tariffs.
"Between the possibilities of a slight increase or a moderate one, it's up to the prime minister to decide," Besson said, adding that the government will respect the court's decision.
The government in April froze household gas prices for a year, a decision the country's energy regulator ruled should be reversed from Oct. 1 to allow GDF Suez to cover supply costs. The regulator said the rates should have been raised Oct. 1 by 8.8 percent and 10 percent, depending on the type of household consumer. Instead the government kept prices unchanged for households and raised them 4.9 percent for businesses.
Price Cap
Suppliers competing with GDF Suez, grouped under an organization called Anode and including Direct Energie SA and Poweo, have asked the court to lift the price cap because regulated rates weren't high enough to cover costs of supply and hindered competition.
"What counts for us is that we get a clear set of rules on rates. The current system is impossible," Fabien Chone, deputy chief executive officer of power retailer Direct Energie, said in an interview today. "Under the best case scenario we think we will get an increase of 5 percent or 6 percent as a result of this court case."

Trondheim City Square through a thousand years
The remains of one thousand years of human activity lie beneath Trondheim's city square: from medieval fields to renaissance gardens, a 17th-century craftsmen's quarter, and finally traces of activity connected with the square's use over a period of 300 years.
Welcome to our new exhibition: Continuous change
In this exhibition, you can learn and experience some of the climate changes from the last glacial period to today. We present insights into 12,000 years of development and display artefacts from the very first human beings in Norway.

Did You See This? Oladipo brings down Assembly Hall
Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports
There are posterizing dunks, and then there is Victor Oladipo's in-your-face slam from Saturday night. Oladipo, he of several highlight-reel dunks in his two-plus seasons (remember this one?), threw down perhaps the best poke of his career in the first half against Central Connecticut State. In transition, no one accounted for Oladipo, and he drove to the rim, where Terrell Allen went for the block. Needless to say, Allen didn't get it.

We close our program today with a poem. Al Young is California's new poet laureate. He was born in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, 65 years ago. He spent most of his life in the San Francisco Bay area. Al Young is also a novelist, teacher and screenwriter. He's been writing verse since he was in his teens. He's also got some radio experience, and it's clear in reading his poems that music is an inspiration. For years, he hosted jazz shows on public radio stations in Berkeley and Detroit, and he's got the voice to prove it. Here's Al Young reading his poem "To Be The Perfect Fool."
Mr. AL YOUNG (Poet Laureate): `To be the perfect fool ain't all that bad. You mess yourself up mostly. No one else cares, really, what you do. Why should you add more worry to their night? Go work your spells elsewhere, someplace where pride and making sense don't count. Jump to your own conclusion, run. Where fools and money part, you can dispense with chance. All foolishness can be no fun. You bet against yourself. The perfect fool, divine intelligence, the muse, the gods, whatever works or doesn't. What's uncool? To put it plainly, just what are the odds of you, the lover, coming out ahead when bombs this sad world drops come down with bread?'
MONTAGNE: Al Young, California's new poet laureate, reading his poem, "To Be The Perfect Fool."

You can read about Lil W's week without a smile here.
Once upon a time we went to the zoo and met a 500 pound,
82 year old tortoise with a mouth strong enough to bite off your arm.
While this tortoise had a face that I will surely be seeing in my nightmares,
Lil W was able to see past his rough and creepy exterior, and became smitten with the giant right away.
But toddlers aren't allowed to pet appendage removing tortoises,
so Lil W found the next best thing he could cuddle up with.
And he gave that cement turtle the biggest smile and hug he had mustered up all week.
Fun wiff turtle Momma, so fun. -Lil W
What cute thing has your kid said lately?
