CHICAGO Sales by the top seven U.S. automakers totaled 925,028 light vehicles in October, a 5.8-percent improvement from a year earlier but a 9-percent slide from 1,016,420 vehicles in September.
Year-to-date sales topped 10.1 million vehicles, up 11.4 percent from the first nine months of 2011.
Some automakers suggested they saw a loss in sales during the last week of October due to Hurricane Sandy, which cut a path of destruction up the East Coast.

Whistleblower suit accuses Northwestern University, Northwestern Memorial Hospital of defrauding government

Updated: December 3, 2012 6:51AM
A whistleblower lawsuit recently unveiled in U.S. District Court accuses Northwestern University and Northwestern Memorial Hospital of defrauding the federal government by double-billing for patient care.
Filed in November 2010, the suit had remained sealed until July, when federal prosecutors who had been reviewing its claims declined to add the U.S. government as a plaintiff. Soulias seeks a portion of damages the federal government allegedly sustained, as provided for under federal whistleblower laws. A spokeswoman for the hospital declined comment, saying its attorneys only recently received the suit, which was up for a status hearing Thursday before U.S. District Judge Elaine Bucklo. It was continued to Dec. 12. A university spokesman said its attorneys have not been formally served with the suit but believes it should not be a party to it. "It appears to center on the issue of Medicare billing, which Northwestern University is not involved in. The university does not seem to be a proper party to the lawsuit and should be dismissed from the lawsuit," said spokesman Alan Cubbage.
She'd sued her former boss, William Kennedy Smith of the Kennedy family, after accusing the physician of sexually assaulting her at his home on her 23rd birthday. Smith denied it, and maintained the two had a consensual relationship that went sour. Her suit was later dismissed by the courts, and no criminal charges were ever filed. In the whistleblower lawsuit, Soulias alleges the university and hospital engaged in double billing Medicare and NIH for hospital patients enrolled in NIH-funded clinical trials, and then laid her off after she brought concerns about the practice to her supervisor

RE: Correct to Eula Mae Brown
Have been to the Bethel Methodist Church cemetery on several occasions and have yet to locate Mrs. Brown at this location. Unable to find any records of Mrs. Brown located there either. There is a Mrs. Brown with the same exact information located at the Bethel North Cemetery located in Grant County.
I have not been able to verify information in the Grant County cemetery, so I cannot confirm if she is located there or not. Sorry.

I have been looking for Mrs. Brown in the Bethel Methodist Church Cemetary to add a photo of the gravestone with no luck. It seems that she is located at Bethel North Cemetary in Sheridan, Grant County, Arkansas instead.
There is already an entry for that cemetary with her named added. Could I get you to correct this Cemetary information please.

Carrier IQ has issued a long report on its security practices, just as the FBI shoots down a related FOIA request. Will this new defense be enough to help Carrier IQ?
It has not been an easy few weeks for Carrier IQ, a California software firm. In late November, Android developer Trevor Eckhart published a video, alleging that Carrier IQ – which services Sprint, RIM, and HTC, among others – was surreptitiously logging the keystrokes of mobile phone users.
Carrier IQ was pelted with complaints and queries, from ordinary users and from US senators.
Apple reps said they would banish Carrier IQ software from its devices completely.

Woman critical after ATV hit by train
A metro-east woman is in critical condition after being struck by a train near Granite City Tuesday night. Police say it happened about 9 p.m. at Lenox and Chouteau in Mitchell, Illinois.
A couple had reportedly been riding an all-terrain vehicle when it got stuck on railroad tracks. The man was able to jump out of the way of the on-coming train, but the women couldn't.
The woman was struck and later airlifted to a hospital. The man wasn't hurt.

Employers have a right to defend themselves if an employee sues them for discriminating in a way that inflicts emotional distress. One defense: That the employee's emotional distress may have been caused by something other than work—for example, an underlying medical or psychological problem.
To investigate that possibility, employers need access to medical records. Now a court has agreed that employers are entitled to see records dating back two years from the time of the alleged discrimination that the employee says triggered the emotional distress.
Recent case: The EEOC sued on behalf of a Smith Brothers Truck Garage employee, alleging the company violated the ADA when it discharged him. The firing, according to the EEOC, caused the employee emotional distress and anxiety.
Smith Brothers sought medical records so it could look for another possible cause. The EEOC opposed turning over the records. However, the federal judge handling the case said the company should have the records it wanted—but only going back two years from the date of the termination. (EEOC v. Smith Brothers Truck Garage, No. 7:09-CV-00150, ED NC, 2010)
Final note: Be sure to tell your attorney about any emotional or psychological problems you suspect the employee may have had before an adverse employment action occurred. Emotional distress can be caused by divorce, illness, a death in the family or other challenges.

Week in Games: Halo Returns, Mario Goes Role-Playing
- 11.06.12
runMobileCompatibilityScript('myExperience1949141523001', 'anId');
It's an exciting week no matter if you're into gritty realism or cute things. We've got 'em all on this week's Game|Life video wrap-up of the next seven days in gaming. Microsoft launches Halo 4 on Tuesday on Xbox 360, and Sony answers right back with PlayStation 3′s LittleBigPlanet Karting.
Nintendo is gearing up for the big Nov. 18 launch of Wii U, but has still found time to get the role-playing game Paper Mario: Sticker Star on shelves this Sunday, Nov. 11.
Not many other big games are willing to go up against Halo on Tuesday, but two collections for the budget-minded gamer are on the way: Rockstar Games Collection Episode 1 and Mass Effect Trilogy.
Watch Game|Life every week to find out what's coming and how much your wallet is going to hurt afterwards.

Just read a post on the Motherlode blog over on NYTimes.com by a psychologist about the unintended harm that parents do to their children when they make their child "the exception to every rule", meaning they try to bend the rules to spare their children.
As she points out, there is new research that suggests that a big indicator of adult happiness is childhood conscientiousness.
When we look at the research on the childhood precursors of adult well-being – the traits we see in children who go on to become happy adults – we find that the driving factor is childhood conscientiousness, not childhood happiness. Children who are industrious, orderly and have good self-control are more likely than their careless or undisciplined peers to grow into happy adults.

The Indescribable Frankenstein: A Short History of the Spectacular Failure of Words
March 5, 2013 | by Jason Z. Resnikoff
Mrs. Chesser taught me that there is never any reason to use the word indescribable. Invoking the indescribability of something does no work except to tell everyone, quite explicitly, that you are incapable of describing. Indescribable is not a quality something can possess, only a failure that can overwhelm a writer. Even now, years later, I can practically hear Mrs. Chesser, her voice languid with existential weariness, pleading with all of us in third-period English: "For the love of God, ask ourselves why a thing is indescribable and then write that down. Never be so lazy as to just dash off, 'It was indescribable.' It's a waste of everyone's time." I remember her making profound eye contact with me just as the words "waste of everyone's time" escaped her lips. Chastened, and most likely the prime offender, I made a note to myself, much of it capitalized, and have since made all-out war on the indescribable in my life.
But the indescribable has a history, and a distinguished one at that. In her novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley uses the word "describe," or some version of it, twenty-one times. Of those twenty-one, fourteen are coupled with a negation. Which means that approximately 66 percent of the time Mary Shelley uses the word "describe," it is to describe how she, in fact, cannot describe something. "I cannot describe to you my sensations," or, "How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe," or, "I cannot pretend to describe what I then felt," or, "a hell of intense tortures such as no language can describe." But these romantic, brain-feverish testimonies to descriptive incompetence are often immediately paired with very precise descriptions, as in, "Over him hung a form which I cannot find words to describe—gigantic stature, yet uncouth and distorted in its proportions," or when the explorer Robert Walton writes his sister, "I cannot describe to you my sensations on the near prospect of my undertaking. It is impossible to communicate to you a conception of the trembling sensation, half pleasurable and half fearful, with which I am preparing to depart." What is that indescribable sensation? Well, trembling, half-pleasurable, half-fearful, which is actually quite descriptive. Read More »
A Man Pronounces the Longest Word in the World

It Is Hoped
April 24, 2012 | by Sadie Stein
Linguists and grammarians the world over may weep into their Manuals of Style, but the march of progress continues: as of this week, the AP Stylebook has altered its definition of hopefully. As they tweeted, "We now support the modern usage of hopefully: It's hoped, we hope."
(Previously, the accepted definition was, "In a hopeful manner.")
As the AP deputy standards editor David Minthorn told the Washington Post somewhat mournfully, "We batted this around, as we do a lot of things, and it just seemed like a logical thing to change. We're realists over at the AP. You just can't fight it."
Naturally, the decision has been controversial. While some have heralded the AP's flexibility, others, like editor Rob Rheinalda, take a dimmer view, opining, "It's lazy and it's subjective. The speaker presumes that everyone shares that hope." The WaPo piece had generated 680 comments as of this writing. Is Rome burning? Or is language simply in perpetual flux?
We are reminded here of the immortal words of Ken Kesey, who, in his Paris Review interview, remarked, "As you get older and hopefully wiser, you find that blame and punishment beget only more blame and punishment." Amen.
Semantic Thrills; Yes, Generalissimo?
June 3, 2011 | by Lorin Stein
Dear Lorin,
The Portuguese word saudade connotes this beautiful expectation of nostalgia for a current moment. There's a word that describes the place where your collarbone meets the neck. Tom Robbins makes up erleichda, a combination of a command, interrogation, and request to "lighten up." Are there any such words in English? I know Shakespeare made up the word encorpsed, but it doesn't seem to have settled in as comfortably to our vernacular.
You pose a deep question, Alex. By "any such words," I take it you mean words with highly specific functions, words that it is hard to believe are single words. But seen in a certain light, most words are like that. Just now at the sandwich place down the street, the barista asked a customer whether he wanted a tray, then she pulled down one of those egg-carton thingies with the indentations in it for cups. And suddenly it seemed strange to me that we have such a short word, tray, for such a specific tool—a portable horizontal surface on which to carry prepared foodstuffs—that comes in so many shapes and sizes.
After all, get has the longest definition in the OED.
But maybe you are thinking specifically of new words. And yes, English is always full of those. In the sixteenth century, it must have been a semantic thrill to hear words like scapegoat and beautiful, both coined by William Tyndale for his translation of the Bible. Until then, no one knew a word for "the goat that you send off into the wilderness with your iniquities on its back," or to say a thing was "characterized by beauty." Some words still surprise me that way. German friends tell me they have no word for ear, in the sense of "you have a good ear." To them the word is magic. ("That is why we will never have an Elmore Leonard.")
And if saudade sounds exotic to you, try explaining to a Portuguese the exact meaning of fun.
Words We Don't Say; The Tao of Travel
May 27, 2011 | by Lorin Stein
Kurt Andersen had his list of "Words We Don't Say." As the editor of The Paris Review, what are some of yours? —Tom Michaels
Usage snobbery is a poor man's snobbery. It has no place at The Paris Review. When Kurt Andersen compiled his list of peeves, he had the excuse of working at New York—a magazine that pretty much exists to market snootiness on a budget. You will notice that most of his verbotens come from the tabloids, the trades, or lifestyle magazines. (There is something, not just ironic, but deep about a lifestyle magazine banning the word lifestyle.) Which is to say, Andersen was doing his job. He was maintaining a tone.
Here at the Review we have no such excuse. All we've got are hang-ups. I blame mine on The Worth of Words, a late-Victorian usage manual that I picked up at a yard sale during high school and subsequently destroyed. It was too late. The Worth of Words had singed it onto my brain that the phrase due to should be used only in instances of someone actually incurring a debt of gratitude, that aggravate must never be used except in the sense of adding to, and that partially means only "with bias." (Google Books has now reunited me with this manual and its insane author, Ralcy Halsted Bell. Entry one: "ABORTIVE means of untimely birth ... To speak of an abortive attempt or act is hardly short of the ridiculous."
I do not recommend The Worth of Words, and I offer this tiny (partial) list of my own in a spirit of confession and contrition. Recently our managing editor, Nicole Rudick, cured me of an aversion to forthcoming (in the sense of "soon to be published") with the help of the OED. Here, off the top of my head, are some more:
Home (for house)
Hopefully (for "I hope")
Disinterest (for "lack of interest"—yes, even though I know it's totally correct)
Delicious, Spicy, Tangy (used metaphorically)
Tasty (ever, but especially in reference to a "lick")
Pleasantry (except in the sense of "joke")
Following (to introduce a list: as in "the following")
Contact (as a verb)
Relationship (ever, ever, even when it's the mot juste)
Impact (unless we're talking about, e.g., a car crash)
I could go on. (Couldn't you?)
