In the days following Monday's school shooting in Chardon, schools across the state have reported copycat threats and incidents that have resulted in buildings being locked down or evacuated.
The reports include a student in Northeast Ohio who posted a photo of himself on Facebook with an assault rifle and a teen in Strongsville arrested after making a physical threat.
We urge students to be especially mindful of their words and actions in these times. It's easy to have a bad day and post something online that in reality is simply angry, empty words but could be construed as a threat. School and law enforcement officials must take it seriously, meaning there will be consequences and it could create unnecessary anxiety or fear in the community or school.
People need to be responsible for what they post and say and think before doing so.
At the same time, when a possibly threatening comment, however off the cuff it seems, is made, it shouldn't be dismissed.
Report it to authorities, in case it is a real threat.
We also hope area schools are practicing their emergency lockdown procedures, just as often as they do fire drills.
It's important the maneuvers become second nature so that in a panic-filled situation, students and staff will remember what they're supposed to do.

Get the digital magazine on your device!
FREE TRIAL – Limited time only
Sky's newly announced NOW TV set-top box is its latest bid to hook non-subscribers into its services, and at only £10, it's extremely good value.
The box offers access to Sky Movies and Sky Sports and basically turns any telly with a HDMI port into a rudimentary smart TV. It will primarily appeal to those who like the idea of being able to get BBC iPlayer on their TVs, or those who want to be able to watch Sky Sports without having to pay a full Sky subscription.
Everything you need to hook up the box is included. Bundled with it is an HDMI cable, a power cord and even two batteries to slip into the remote. To keep the box as simple as possible, Sky hasn't chosen to include an ethernet port. This means you really need to have a stable wireless internet connection to be able to set it up.
Full review
Unlike most things in the electronics industry, when it comes to TVs, bigger is better. And they certainly don't come much bigger than the LG 84LM960V, an 84-inch monster telly with an eye-searingly "Ultra-HD" 4K pixel count of 3,840x2,160 -- but with an eye-watering price tag to match.
It's on sale now for £22,500 (though you do get a stand, two remotes and seven pairs of passive 3D glasses for that).
Last year US firm Roku brought out the Roku 2 XS, a deceptively powerful little box of digital telly tricks allowing you to watch a broad range of catch-up TV and streaming video for just under £100. Now it's done it again for half the price.
It's on sale now for £50.
If there was one thing the Olympics has taught the world, it's that when the British commit to doing something, they do it properly. In the world of hi-fi, no one embodies that more than Naim.
The latest product to emerge from the brand with arguably the highest standards in the world is the Uniti 2. The sequel to 2009's Uniti, it's designed to offer a no-compromise audio experience in a single box.
The Bose Solo TV sound system promises virtual surround sound from a relatively slimline and discreet black box, with easy peasy setup and controls.
It's on sale now for £349. Full review

What are the symptoms of dermatitis?
Symptoms of contact dermatitis and atopic dermatitis are similar. Contact dermatitis manifests as a red, scaly itchy rash anywhere on the skin that was exposed to the offending substance. In moderate to severe cases, you may also develop blisters filled with clear liquid. Some people develop hives, for which you should seek prompt medical care.... Read more about dermatitissymptoms
What causes dermatitis?
There are two major types of contact dermatitis: first, an allergic reaction to a common household or environmental substance, and, second, an inflammatory reaction to a harsh chemical irritant.... Read more about dermatitiscauses
How is dermatitis treated?
The first step in treating contact dermatitis is to wash the area with water to get rid of all traces of the irritant. Sometimes it is best to do nothing more because even low-strength, over-the-counter products can worsen the condition. You may be able to reduce your itching with wet dressings, drying lotions, or anti-itch (antipruritic) creams or lotions. In cases of inflammation, corticosteroid creams or ointments may be an effective treatment. In the most severe inflammatory cases, you may need a systemic corticosteroid....

A 48-year-old female presented to the emergency department with severe headaches, dyspnea on exertion, and petechiae on the lower extremities. A CBC was drawn that showed the following: WBC=56 x103/µL, Hgb=9.0 g/dL, Hct=23, MCV=97 fl, plt=15 x109/µL, ANC=0.7x103/µL. A bone marrow biopsy was performed and showed 90 percent lymphoid blasts. The blast population expressed CD19, CD20, CD22, CD10, CD34, TdT, and HLA-DR. Metaphase cytogenetics showed a normal female karyotype. FISH for bcr-abl was positive. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The abnormality of which gene is associated with a poor outcome in this patient?
B. Ten-Eleven Translocation-2 (TET2)
E. Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1/2 (IDH1/IDH2)
IKAROS (IKZF1), a gene located in chromosome 7p12, is responsible for encoding a zinc finger-containing transcription factor called Ikaros that is essential for normal lymphoid development. Using genome-wide analysis, deletions involving IKZF1 were found in 84 percent of 304 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).1 Ikaros can occur in several splice variants and may explain some of the differential function of this transcription factor. The expression of certain spliced oncogenic Ikaros isoforms in bcr-abl-positive ALL may confer resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).2 In a study of 83 patients with bcr-abl-positive ALL, a high frequency of IKZF1 deletions was observed (63 percent), mainly in exons 4 to 7 and exons 2 to 7. Patients who carry the IKZF1 deletions have inferior disease-free survival compared to those who have wild-type IKZF1 (10 months versus 32 months).3
Ten-eleven translocation 2 (TET2) is a gene located in chromosome 4q24. Mutations involving this gene can be found in varying frequencies in myeloid malignancies, including 10 percent in myelodysplastic syndromes, 50 percent in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (50 percent), 20 percent in myeloproliferative neoplasms (20 percent) and 20 percent in secondary acute myeloid leukemias derived from these conditions. Recent studies suggest that TET2 may be important in epigenetic regulation. The exact prognostic value of this mutation remains unclear although some suggest that patients who have TET2 mutations have a good prognosis.4-6
NOTCH1 is a gene that encodes for a transmembrane receptor that regulates normal T-cell development. This mutation has been detected in > 50 percent of both pediatric and adult T-ALL cases. FBXW7 encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase responsible for negative regulation of NOTCH1 signaling. Mutations involving FBXW7 occur at a frequency of about 20 percent in ALL. Pediatric studies suggest the good prognostic value of NOTCH1/ FBXW7 mutations. The results in adult ALL patients are less clear, with conflicting results.7-9
Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1(IDH1) is a gene located in chromosome 2q33.3, while IDH2 is located in chromosome 15q26.1. These genes are responsible for encoding enzymes that catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarates. Intact IDH activity is necessary for normal cellular protection from oxidative stress. These mutations were first described in low-grade gliomas/secondary glioblastomas and subsequently in acute myeloid leukemia. Some studies suggest that mutations involving this gene may confer poor prognosis in certain subsets, particularly in cytogenetically normal FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (Flt-3), wild-type, and nucleophosmin-1 (NPM-1)-mutated AML.10-12

Help with formatting hard drive for Time Machine
So I am coming over from PC and have just got done copying over files from an NTFS external to my new iMac via Paragon.
I now want to erase and set up my external hard drive for a backup. How do I format it? Should I leave it NTFS since I have Paragon? Or is it better to format it first so it's friendlier for Mac (not sure how to do this)? |

Dec 24, 2012, 03:56 AM | #2 |
To use the drive as a timeMachine you have to format it to osx extended (journaled)
when you finish it will ask to use the drive as backup, or you can select it in the TM settings |
0 |
Dec 24, 2012, 03:59 AM | #3 |
If you want to use TimeMachine, I would format is as 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'. Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, select your external drive, select 'Erase', select 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)' as the Format and give it a name.
Obviously, be certain you're not doing this to your primary OS drive. |

Why use a boring calendar widget that only has words when a picture can tell the story better?Blik reads your calendar and *automatically* shows the best picture for each event. The picture is shown, along with the start time and an important word from the event so that you can see what's coming up on your calendar.
You end up with a quick visual guide to your upcoming events. Your calendar has never been easier to "read".
The free/trial version of Blik comes with 350+ pictures and 700+ keywords rules.
The Pro version unlocks another 300+ keyword rules so that your calendar events are matched up to pictures even better.
You can create your own keyword rules for single calendar events in the free/trial version and in the Pro version you can create your own keyword rules that apply to all your calendar events.
Check out the Blik Settings screen under the Help section for helpful Tips (like how to subscribe to a holiday calendar).
Your personal information (READ_CALENDAR) - required to get calendar event information.
Network communication (INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE) - required for Pro License Key check; advertising in free version.
Keywords: calendar, agenda, birthday, holiday, widget
Known issue(s):
> On Cyanogenmod ROM, the homescreen manager doesn't appear to return the correct dimensions, so Blik is drawing with large margins.
> On screen rotate, sometimes Nova Launcher will not return the correct widget size, so rendering is incorrect. To fix, resize Blik widget.
> Widget appearance preview in Settings for month layout doesn't draw correctly (it does draw the widget correctly on your homescreen though). -- fixed in Jelly Bean and above
> Facebook events may be displayed with incorrect starting times. Use Blik Advanced Setting value to manually adjust the display for all Facebook start times.
> Facebook declined events will still show up.
> Larger widget sizes can result in out-of-memory crashes.
---=== When DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME changes ===---
If your phone is showing events off by an hour, you may need to power it down and reboot so that your phone picks up the time change from your cell provider.
-- Important Note --
If you are having problems with your calendar events not syncing, go to http://android.joeprogrammer.com/blikhelp/synchelp.html for information and instructions on how to correct the problem.

The Royal Hospital School (usually shortened as "RHS" and historically nicknamed "The Cradle of the Navy"[1]) is a British co-educational independent day and boarding school with naval traditions. The school admits pupils from age 11 to 18 (Years 7 to 13) through Common Entrance or the school's own exam. The school is regulated by Acts of Parliament.[2]
The school is located in the village of Holbrook, near Ipswich, Suffolk, England, United Kingdom. The school's campus is of Queen Anne style and set in 200 acres (0.81 km2) of countryside overlooking the River Stour on the Shotley Peninsula in an area known as Constable Country.
The Royal Hospital School was established by a Royal Charter in 1712. It was originally located at Greenwich Hospital in Greenwich. The school moved in 1933 to East Anglia.
The Royal Hospital School is the only independent boarding school in the United Kingdom to have ever been continuously granted the Queen's Banner and flies its own Admiralty approved Royal Hospital School Blue Ensign, as well as being the only school in the United Kingdom to have the privilege of wearing Royal Navy uniforms.
The school is affiliated to the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC).
Bernard de Neumann notes the school's significance and impact in British history: "Just as, according to the Duke of Wellington, the Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton, it may justifiably be claimed, that the establishment of... the British Empire, was charted and plotted in the classroom of... the Royal Hospital School."[citation needed]
Seafaring traditions are important and integral elements of school life and Royal Navy uniforms (sailor suits) are issued to all pupils and used for ceremonial and formal events. The school is owned by the Crown naval charity, Greenwich Hospital and as a result provides a number of means-tested bursaries for families with a seafaring background.
Leadership development is another distinctive feature of the Royal Hospital School derived from the naval background. Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and Royal Marines Combined Cadet Force along with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme are the most popular extracurricular activities at the Royal Hospital School. The Combined Cadet Force is unique, as it also includes a Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Section, Pioneers, Her Majesty's Coastguard and St. John's Ambulance. HMS Illustrious is affiliated with the Royal Navy CCF.[3] The Army Section is affiliated with Army Air Corps.[4]
The Royal Hospital School has a partnership with America's second-oldest institution of higher education and "sister institution", The College of William and Mary in Virginia.[5]
The Royal Hospital School is a full boarding school and operates seven days a week.
There are a little over 700 students at the school; of those, 140 are day students and 560 are boarders. It is the largest boarding school in East Anglia. The students are separated by gender until the upper sixth, where they move into a multi-gender boarding house. As of the beginning of the 2013 - 2014 academic year, pupils in the Junior boarding houses Blake and Drake will also be in multi gender houses, with each year rotating through. There are international students from about 20 countries. The school has specialist staff for international students and has an English as a Foreign Language course.
The school uses the National Curriculum Key Stages 3, 4, and 5, and provides a large choice of subjects for study. These include English, French, Spanish, German, physics, chemistry, biology, Latin, geography, history, mathematics, technology, art, music, IT, physical education, media studies, business studies, psychology, drama and theatre, art history, government and politics, textiles, law, Russian, Greek and religious studies.
All faculty live on site and participate in all aspects of school life.
The school was originally located at Greenwich Hospital, and was based in what is now the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London. The Hospital was founded in 1694, and the school in 1712, both by Royal Charter.[6][7] The original purpose of the school was to provide assistance and education to the orphans of seafarers in the Royal and Merchant Navies, and it was once the largest school for navigation and seamanship in the country.[8]
The school has been located in Holbrook since 1933. The Holbrook campus was designed by the Birmingham-based arts and crafts architect Herbert Tudor Buckland. Most of the buildings are now Grade II listed with the main range and chapel being Grade II*.
Until relatively recently, entry to the school was limited to the children or grandchildren of seafarers. Until the 1950s, boys of the school were also required to join the Royal or Merchant Navies, and as such the education was focused on maritime matters. Although this requirement has not been in force for some decades, the school has retained certain naval traditions such as Naval uniform, divisions (a formal parade and march past as practised in the armed forces) and an element of marching.
In 1991 the school became coeducational, with the girls first being introduced into Hood house, followed by Cornwallis, Howe and Blake. Girls initially had a different uniform from boys, but this was changed to match the boys' uniform, and subsequently followed the changes in dress as seen in the Royal Navy. The first female Head of School was appointed in 1992 to work alongside the male head of School.
In 1994 the entire school was bussed to Greenwich Hospital to parade in front of Queen Elizabeth II, in celebration of the tercentenary of the Hospital. The parade took place on the parade ground in front of the Queen's House.
In 2005 RHS was one of 50 of the country's leading private schools which were found guilty of running an illegal price-fixing cartel which had allowed them to drive up fees for thousands of parents.[9] Each school was required to pay a nominal penalty of £10,000 and all agreed to make ex-gratia payments totalling three million pounds into a trust designed to benefit pupils who attended the schools during the period in respect of which fee information was shared.[10]
Greenwich Hospital[edit]
The school was founded by Royal Charter, and is maintained by Greenwich Hospital. The hospital provides bursaries to a number of pupils. The school also awards academic, sports, music and sailing scholarships, as well as bursaries and discounts to the children of seafarers in the Royal Navy, Royal Marines or Merchant Navy.[11]
Many of the modern day Royal Hospital School traditions are associated with the Royal Navy or seafaring. For example, key naval events are celebrated, the school has provision for sailing, and has a ceremonial marching band
As well as standard school uniform, both boys and girls wear Naval uniforms for ceremonial occasions such as "Divisions", a ceremony in which each house forms into two squads, Junior and Senior, and perform a march past on the parade square, with music played by the marching band and the Guard of Honour holding a key role. All house petty officers (POs) wear a chevron on their left arm. The school chiefs, approximately 20 Upper 6th Formers, wear chief petty officer ranks and uniform, including canes. The deputy heads of school (one male and one female prefect) carry the rank of warrant officer (second class). The heads of school (one male and one female prefect) carry the rank of warrant officer (first class).
The Royal Hospital School has a distinctive musical tradition, with all pupils required to attend weekly congregation practice. The £3.6 million Reade Music School opened in 2008.[12]
The Royal Hospital School marching band is a perennial part of school life. The band is managed by a former member of the Royal Marines Band Service, and the band's style is modelled on the Royal Marines. The band forms a separate division and is the largest division.[clarification needed] It has travelled abroad for tours including to Sri Lanka and the USA. Some of the marches played include Heart of Oak, A Life on the Ocean Wave and "Holbrook March".
School songs[edit]
- "Go Forth With God" by Martin Shaw to the tune of Toc H.
- "Eternal Father, Strong to Save"
- "Holbrook" composed for the school by lifelong supporter, Benjamin Britten
- "Jerusalem"
William and Mary Scholars[edit]

The chapel programme is central to the RHS education. It is compulsory for pupils to attend a sort service every morning before lessons from Tuesdays until Thursdays. Congregational practice is also held within the chapel every Saturday. A service is held every Sunday, also compulsory, with the exception of leave - out weekends. The mosaics in the apse are by Eric Newton, later to become art critic to the Guardian.
Royal Foundation[edit]
The Royal Hospital School has connections with the British Royal Family. These connections are principally The Royal Charter, School Visitor, and King's & Queen's Banners. The school's political breadth is shown by both its acknowledgement of its royal connections and its honouring the great republican hero, Admiral Blake, after whom a House is named.
Many members of the Royal Family have involved themselves with the development of the school. Mary II's involvement with the Royal Hospital School is noted as "the darling object of her life".[13]
- William and Mary - First Benefactors.
- Queen Anne - Donated confiscated properties of Captain Kidd.
- George II - presented assets from confiscated properties of the Earl of Derwentwater.
- George VI - Laid the foundation stone at Holbrook on 26 October 1928 (as the Duke of York).
- Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother - presented the Royal Banner to the Royal Hospital School.

Holbrook Coastguard[edit]
The Holbrook Coastguard, founded in 1996, is no longer a fully operational watch station and CRV,[clarification needed] affiliated with Her Majesty's Coastguard. The area the team covered stretched from the dry dock in Ipswich to Shotley, and then from Shotley to the White Bridge at Manningtree, and they often operated in the Wrabness area with the neighbouring team.
Holbrook Coastguard was unique since, in term-time, it was run entirely by students. While there are student-operated coastguards in Scotland and Wales, it was the only one of its kind in England. There was a student in charge elected every year, but there were adult team members who were in control during the school holidays. The members of the student team were aged fourteen to eighteen.
Royal Hospital School Association[edit]
The Royal Hospital School Association is an association of former students and staff of the school. Founded as the Greenwich Royal Hospital School Old Boys Association in 1925, it changed its name to the Royal Hospital School Association (RHSA) in 1992 in order to accommodate female ex-pupils. The Association publishes an irregular newsletter called Otia Tuta keeping members abreast of current events.[14]
The Association holds an annual reunion at the school in June.

Grainline vs. Printline
I have levelled the horizontal grain across the piece by cutting along a weft thread, and because my cutting usually wavers a bit no matter how hard I try to follow one thread, I then pulled out any partially cut weft threads until I could pull out a single thread all the way across:
Now look at the print - see how the dots are not aligned with the grain? This can be a real problem with prints!
For a small all-over spot like this one, the off-grain print is not going to be very noticeable in the finished garment, so I am going to ignore it. It would be nice if the spots were straight at the hem, but that is only going to happen if it is cut off-grain.
Larger geometric designs that are printed off-grain could create a real issue as it may be noticeable in the finished garment. Just another thing to watch out for when selecting your fabric!
*in typing that, I just remembered they have a VIP discount week, ah oh...

I have a grain line question. I was trying to lay out some fabric a few months ago and could not get the grain line straight. I could get the cut edge straight and lined up but when I did that the selvage edges were not together. I wasn't sure what to do and ended up not using the fabric.
Thanks for any help.
KathiRepliessometimes the fabric gets stretched out of square if it's wrapped on the bolt too tight. I've had trouble with this and I'm not really sure how to deal with it. I'd wash it and hope that helps.
DeleteYou could try squaring the grains by brute force - pull the fabric in a bias direction and steam press. If the fabric is severely off grain you may not win the battle, in which case line up the selvedges and follow the more dominant lengthwise grain.
DeleteThank you so much.
I will give it all I've got next time I try to use that off grain fabric again.
I wonder if Kathi G was trying to straighten a twill weave. I can't figure out how to straighten twill, plus I have read that even if twill is straightened by forcing the crosswise and lengthwise grains into a 90 degree angle, it is a bad idea because the fabric will revert to how it came off the loom, with the prevailing tension pulling it off grain. Can you advise?
ReplyDeleteGlobal Fabrics opened s hop in Brisbane on Wandoo St... It's called The Fabric Store here, I'm going to their sale on Friday. (husband fabrics..)
It's so exciting, because there's generally crappy fabric here, and super expensive fabric, and quilting fabrics.. But not really anything that's good quality and medium prices. YAY!
Do you go with grainline or pattern when you have an off-grain stripe?RepliesI went yesterday, gulp...and it is all hiding in amongst some older fabrics...becoming old stash very fast!
Luckily stripes are usually woven or knit, probably for this reason. If I wanted to bind an edge with my spot, I would quite happily cut it off-grain to have a neat row of dots! It helps that the lengthwise print usually correlates to the lengthwise grain, so button stands etc look OK.
I definitely would!
I am not aware of any others as I'm quite new to buying fabric retail, but maybe someone else can chip in!Replies- JenniferJanuary 20, 2012 at 10:29 PM
I think Global Fabrics is great for merino, and some nice silks and prints. Centrepoint fabrics has a large selection, but is quite expensive. I go to Dress Smart in Mount Albert a lot, you need to dig through what they have, but the prices are great.
Sherry - thanks so much for posting that flyer! I went today and spent way too much, but now have lots to keep me busy over summer :)
Oh, how I remember the days of junior high school home economics, when Miss Brooks made us ravel a thread all the way across the fabric to find the straight of grain. We had to measure the edges of our pattern pieces to determine a consistent distance from the selvedge (why? why? why?) as we lined everything up with military precision when laying out for cutting. Made little sense if one's fabric was printed off-grain, but that's the way it was in her little kingdom. Dear Lord, please don't make me be 13 years old ever again, amen.
ReplyDeleteYour pattern class sounds like it could be a great learning experience - now all I need is some RTW clothes to copy (haven't bought clothes for years but always hanker for the perfect fit jeans, as yet elusive).
Did you buy anything from the Global Sale? I have resisted thus far - burgeoning stash, overwhelming me.
I thought of you when I read this post http://gorgeousfabrics.com/blog/2012/01/18/hopping-on-the-soapbox/
There is an editor there looking for an advanced sewer to write a sewing book. Since you put so much work into your tutorials, and like to teach people, perhaps that is a way to reach a larger audience (and get paid too, with a much bigger market!)
I am totally in the category she talks about - someone with a lot of sewing behind me, but a hobbyist, who is looking to improve but is not wanting to turn it into a profession or do years of training!
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! I really enjoy hearing your thoughts and feedback every time I post!

DRM deathwatch: Sony to sell MP3s on Amazon
A few days after I criticized Sony BMG for missing the point of DRM-free music--it's about convenience, which isn't served by forcing customers to walk into stores and buy cards and redeem them online--they proved me wrong by agreeing to release their catalog for sale on Amazon's DRM-free MP3 store. That means you'll be able to buy and download just about any song from Amazon and play it on any software or device. Let's hear it for universal playback, a mere ten years after the first MP3 player went on sale.

Snake and Santa Rosa on Collision Course? |
Clubs - Men's DII Clubs |
All sorts, or maybe just one – which team is the dominant team? Both Snake River out of Idaho, and Santa Rosa in Northern California, have fairly dominated their leagues (Santa Rosa somewhat more, but still), and neither has played the other as the two leagues are completely separate. Santa Rosa went 9-0 in Northern California, beating teams by an average margin of 53 points. That takes some doing. But Head Coach Alan Petty isn't completely sold on his team's fortunes. "We can score a lot of points, that's true," he said. "But whether we've been tested enough, and how we do against tougher defenses we haven't seen, I don't know." |

The capital of modern enterprises is in many ways a human capital. Success depends on the talent, morale and motivation of the workforce for private and public employers alike. To attract the best employees and colleagues, amici must offer robust workplace benefits and a workplace ethos of transparent fairness. ... Benefits packages, especially health-care and retirement benefits, are a direct contributor to employee loyalty. Satisfied and engaged workers are more productive and perform better across a variety of metrics than less-satisfied colleagues. Workplace benefits enhance the employer/employee relationship, which in turn is a key to institutional success. To compete effectively in the modern employment market, amici strive to offer workplace benefits to their employees on an equitable basis.
The issue of same-sex marriage is an ongoing controversy in the US. Earlier this week attorneys for Edith Windsor [NYT profile], the respondent in US v.

Statement of Bridget Robb Gwynedd, PA Before the Senate Judiciary Committee For a hearing entitled "Short-change for Consumers and Short-shrift for Congress? The Supreme Court's Treatment of Laws that Protect Americans' Health, Safety, Jobs and Retirement" Wednesday, June 11, 2008 Chairman Leahy and Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee: Thank you for the invitation to speak on the topic of laws that protect Americans' health and safety. In a time when big business and corporate profits seem to take precedence over individuals' rights, we tend to forget the reasons why certain laws were in fact enacted, and why it remains important for people who have been injured by defective products, to be able to hold companies accountable and to have their day in court. I am here today not only because of my own tragedy but also to protect the rights of those who have or may suffer similar events such as mine. My name is Bridget Robb. I am a thirty-four year old mother and resident of Gwynedd, Pennsylvania. On December 31, 2007, I suffered greatly and thought I was going to die because of a defective heart device implanted in my body. I am thankful to be here today and to be able to share my experience with you. Approximately four (4) years ago, I was diagnosed with non-ischemic, viral cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure. In May 2005, to prevent me from dying from a fatal arrhythmia, I had a Medtronic cardiac defibrillator with pacemaker implanted in my chest. This heart device is a small metal case that contains electronics and a battery. Its components work much like a pacemaker, but unlike a pacemaker, an ICD delivers an electrical shock to the heart when the heart rate becomes dangerously fast. My particular device combined a pacemaker and ICD in one unit. On December 31, 2007, I was awoken from my sleep by a series of shocks to my heart which felt as if a cannon was being repeatedly shot at my chest at close range. Along with these recurrent shocks was a strong, electrical current racing through my body. After feeling the first shock, I immediately phoned 9-1-1 for help. My six-year old daughter, Emma, had snuck into bed with me that night and was present during this horrific experience. I remember Emma being scared and confused. She crouched down in front of me hugging her cat, saying "Mommy's dying." She was present during the entire seven minutes that I was on the telephone with the 911 operator until the EMS arrived. I cannot imagine how terrified she must have been to see her mother in such pain. The doctors have told me that I received a total of thirty-one (31) inappropriate shocks to my heart in a matter of minutes that morning. Each time I was shocked, I saw my life flash before my eyes. At one point, I began to pass out and thought that I would never see Emma again. I later learned that the inappropriate shocking and electrical feeling throughout my body was caused by a defective cardiac lead implanted in my heart, the Sprint Fidelis lead manufactured by Medtronic. A lead is a thin wire which connects the ICD to the heart and delivers the actual shock to the heart when it is beating too fast. Medtronic's Sprint Fidelis lead was recalled on October 15, 2007, because of its potential to fracture. Unfortunately, Medtronic never notified me that my lead was recalled and I did not learn of the recall until after this "life-saving" medical device seriously hurt me. Since this terrifying experience, my health had declined significantly. I have been visiting doctors almost weekly for follow-up appointments and testing, and have suffered from severe anxiety. I have since undergone surgical replacement of my defibrillator and the defective lead, and a second surgery to revise the lead. My second surgery resulted in an extended hospital stay where I had to undergo a blood transfusion. As you would expect, I risk serious harm each time another procedure is performed. Even though Medtronic's defective device caused my injuries, my health insurance plan has been paying for the cost of my medical care. I would like to have the opportunity to hold Medtronic accountable for the injuries that I suffered that day and the emotional after-effects that I continue to experience on a daily basis. Medtronic knew that its Sprint Fidelis lead was faulty, yet the company never took reasonable steps to notify me that this lead needed to be replaced. Instead, I suffered indescribable pain that day and continue to suffer from the emotional toll of my near-death experience. However, my attorneys tell me that a jury may never hear my case due to a legal doctrine known as "preemption," which the Supreme Court recently discussed in another Medtronic medical device case, Riegel v. Medtronic. In that case, the Supreme Court found that any claims brought by people injured by another Medtronic device were "preempted" and that the company would have complete immunity from any claims brought against it given that the FDA had approved the device. My attorneys are concerned that the Riegeldecision also may apply to my case and, as a result, I would have no recourse for my injuries. I find this discouraging and demoralizing. In addition, the considerable costs for my healthcare have been shifted from Medtronic, the company that knew about this problem but failed to take action, to my health insurance provider. This may result in an increase in the cost of my insurance. It is wrong to shift the cost of medical care from the responsible party to private insurers, patients, and in some cases to taxpayer sponsored programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Therefore, I am asking Congress to pass legislation to ensure that victims of faulty medical devices, like me, will continue to have the ability to hold a medical device manufacturer accountable for their injuries. I find it hard to believe that Congress ever intended to prohibit me from even having the opportunity to go to court to obtain justice. Thank you for your attention to this critical issue. I am happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Aside from Warren Buffett, George Soros may be the most widely mimicked hedge fund guru in today's financial world. Though he officially retired in 2011, Soros still manages his own wealth, which is estimated by Forbes to be at least $19 billion. With the pedigree that Soros has, along with the gargantuan pile of assets he still oversees, it's crucial that retail investors pay attention, and our research shows that the consensus picks of the hedge fund managers have historically beaten the market (see full details here).
With that being said, let's take a look at George Soros' top five stock picks as of his latest 13F filing with the SEC, which was in the fourth quarter of last year.
Citigroup (C) received a massive vote of confidence from Soros in Q4, rising to the No. 1 spot in his equity portfolio. The fund manager upped his stake in the banking giant by 435% over this three-month period; Citigroup was just his 50th-largest holding at the end of the third quarter. At a forward earnings multiple below 9.0x and a book valuation that's 30% below parity, shares of Citigroup are obviously cheap, but it's the fact that they're priced below peers like JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) that truly makes them attractive.
Most analysts predict Citigroup to sport above-average earnings growth-about 12.5% a year over the next half-decade-because of its superior footprint in emerging markets, at least in comparison to its similarly sized peers. The sell-side expects JPMorgan, Wells Fargo and PNC (PNC) to average EPS growth in the upper-single-digits over this same time frame.
American International Group (AIG), meanwhile, is hedge funds' new top consensus pick. Soros bought shares of the insurer in Q3, making it his No. 1 overall holding, though he downsized this position by 41% in Q4. Now AIG sits at the No. 2 spot in his equity portfolio, and there's still reason to be bullish on the leaner, meaner post-bailout insurer for the remainder of 2013. Like Citigroup, AIG presents itself as a stellar value play, trading at a measly 0.56 times its book value. The insurance (diversified) industry's average book valuation is 40% higher than this mark.
Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD) is Soros' third-largest holding after seeing the hedgie boost his stake by nearly 50% last quarter. Shares of the oil and gas E&P only gained 2% in Q4, though they've already popped by 24.5% year-to-date. Interestingly, this appreciation has come in the face of a slight EPS miss and the recent announcement that it will hold a public offering of 8 million shares (common stock).
The company has also been cut to "Sell" from "Buy" by one prominent investment bank, and Wall Street's average price target only represents a 1% upside from current levels. Soros' conviction is convincing, though at 2.8 times book, it may be best to wait for a more attractive entry point into this stock.
Adecoagro (AGRO) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) round out this top five, and each presents a promising investment opportunity, albeit for different reasons. We've covered Adecoagro a few times before, but the crux of its bullish thesis boils down to arable farmland, and this company has dozens of properties in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. Despite the fact that prices here have experienced a similar boom as they have in the U.S., Mr. Market isn't really paying attention to Adecoagro's long-run potential; it trades at a mere parity with its book value per share, which is nearly a 30% discount to its industry's average.
Johnson & Johnson, on the other hand, is fairly valued across the board, but its dividend yield of 3.2% makes it a solid income play for any investors looking for a bit of stability. Revenue diversity is another key strength of this company, and with 67 of the 450 hedge funds we track long JNJ at the end of last quarter, it was the smart money's second-favorite pharma stock, behind Pfizer (PFE). It's difficult to argue with Soros and the general consensus here.

Anthony Milton, man involved in Md. Trooper Wesley Brown's killing sentenced
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) - Authorities say the man who provided a gun used to kill a Maryland state trooper outside a restaurant in 2010 has been sentenced to five years in prison.
Twenty-nine-year-old Anthony Milton had pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact in the death of Wesley Brown, a trooper who did part-time security at an Applebee's restaurant in Forestville.
The Washington Post (http://tinyurl.com/7fy7cnr) reports that the five-year sentence was part of a deal with prosecutors in which he agreed to testify against Cyril Cornelius Williams, who was convicted last week of first-degree murder and related offenses.
Prosecutors say Williams as upset because Brown had thrown him out of the restaurant earlier that night and returned to seek revenge.
Williams is scheduled to be sentenced in May.
