MAYO CLINIC -- Migraine headaches can knock you down, and keep you there. Those who suffer from migraine headaches often say they can feel them coming on.
One of those early indicators is migraine aura, visual disturbances that set in before the headache.
There's information from the Mayo Clinic that shows that migraine sufferers who also get auras may be at a higher risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. The risk is even higher if you smoke, or are a woman on birth control. More information on this report can be found on the Mayo Clinic's Web site.

"Silent Hill" is the latest horror movie to use occult mumbo jumbo as an avenue to gory terror. Too long by about a half hour, very much in love with its own excessive style, it still manages to be kinda creepy, at least when it stops taking its metaphysics too seriously.
What you have here is your basic ghost town/witch hunting/lost child/mine fire story.
Silent Hill is where Rose (Radha Mitchell) has the misfortune of losing her young daughter, who has been crying out the town's name during her frenzied sleepwalking episodes.
Wondering what the heck a silent hill is, Rose does the modern thing. She Googles the name, gets directions, puts the kid in her Jeep, and drives on over, much to the objection of her hubby (Sean Bean, playing the definition of an unnecessary character).
You could say that "Silent Hill" has trouble with narrative logic, but this would imply that it has a narrative.
The movie is based on a horror video-game series, which is probably plotted with more skill than the big-screen adaptation. Indeed, much of the film's action unfolds like a game, with Rose passing through one level and moving on to the next, even more treacherous challenge.
This is one of those movies with a five-minute chunk of plot exposition near the end that lays out the basics of what's been going on for the previous 90 minutes.
You wouldn't think "Silent Hill" was written by a former Oscar winner, but sure enough, the screenplay springs from the pen of Roger Avary, Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" co-scribe. He won't win any awards for this one, but he probably won't have to hide his head in shame. As a horror movie hitting theaters during a notoriously slow spot on the release calendar, "Silent Hill" just might do blaring box office.

Rheumatoid arthritis is the single most common disease of the auto-immune system and is one of the most attractive therapy areas in the auto-immune pharmaceutical industry. Over the last decade, the introduction of biologics has propelled growth in the market and with unmet clinic need, the auto-immune industry is set for further growth.
The market is is dominated by agents that inhibit TNF-alpha and these include Remicade, Humira and Enbrel, generating over $10 billion in revenues. Additional agents include MabThera, Orencia, Cimzia and Actemra (for RA).
The global market for autoimmune treatments reached at $34 billion in 2010, it is expected to reach at $38.9 billion by 2011 and it will further grow to $55 billion by 2016 at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The U.S is the largest market for autoimmune treatments and holds 43% share in the global market. It will sustain its position and will hold 44% market share in 2016. Europe remains the second largest market for autoimmune treatments and holds 27% share in the global market. It will sustain its position and will hold 28% market share in 2016.
The global market for autoimmune therapeutics was estimated at more than $34 billion in 2010, with mid-single-digit growth through 2016. Different segments such as arthritis and psoriasis treatments are projected to grow at a faster rate than other treatments. The report will analyze the global markets by region and by disease, and then provide growth projections for each region and/or disease.
Autoimmune diseases arise from an overactive immune response by the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body. An autoimmune reaction can be triggered by a foreign substance entering the body; an alteration of normal body substances through a virus, drug, sunlight, or radiation; a malfunctioning of cells that control antibody production within the body; and genetic predisposition.
Autoimmune diseases afflict individuals with symptoms presented in the neurological, musculoskeletal, dermatological, and gastrointestinal areas of the body. Women are more likely to have autoimmune disorders than men, and research is ongoing to determine why these diseases target women of all ages.
This report is designed to investigate the autoimmune market by disease and by treatment, with supporting tables and figures to illustrate projected growth. The report will include the U.S., Europe, Japan, and other countries such as China and India.
This report offers forecasts by product segment, disease, and geographical region from 2011 through 2016, including supporting analyses for projections. This report is a valuable tool for anyone assessing the autoimmune market and attempting to devise a strategy for successful competition within it. It provides a thorough background on the structure of the autoimmune market and the chief challenges and opportunities it faces. It offers the information necessary for understanding the current market and for addressing the emerging one.

"Good" is such a broad term. When we go looking at crash test data, "good" is not the word that grabs us by the earlobes and says "Hey! I'll save your tail!" "Good" indicates a level of competence perhaps elevated from average levels of acheivement, but the word doesn't connote stellar performance upon first glance. When you realize that "good" is where the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) ratings top out, the word has more gravity when shopping for a safe vehicle.
Today, the IIHS announced the two newest members of the "good" club. The Volvo S80, now in its second generation and based off the EUCD platform that will soon be ushering the P2's out the door entirely, has scored a good rating for frontal collisions. Another vehicle entering its second generation, the Scion xB, has also managed to rack up a green box on the test.
Both models' predecessors also earned "good" scores on the IIHS frontal collision test. The S80 hasn't been tested for side impacts by the Institute, but we'd safely bet on Volvo's mature SIPS (Side Impact Protection System) technology to keep us intact. The xB on the other hand, received a "Poor" score in its previous guise, and the new model hasn't been tested yet. The IIHS data, when combined with the Euro NCAP results and NHTSA results, provide a pretty complete picture of how all-around safe a car is, and good scores with the IIHS usually translate to safer ratings with the other agencies, as well.

There's the well-funded and highly active "Yes for Mesa" campaign. And then there's the much smaller "No" campaign.
But perhaps the most effective campaign effort of all centers on Mesa itself as it tries to educate voters about what would or wouldn't happen if the tax measures fail. The city, because of financial problems, has promised to eliminate or reduce a handful of services if it doesn't raise more revenue next year.
Already, city officials have given residents a preview of what that might look like.
Since the City Council voted in December to ask voters to approve a property tax and a sales tax increase, Mesa has canceled community festivals, reduced library hours, closed two branch libraries on Sundays, hosted six town hall meetings to discuss a looming budget shortfall and let a cityfunded arts group promote the two tax measures to its event attendees.
It has also distributed mailers that some residents consider propaganda in favor of voting "yes" on the taxes. The city stands to gain up to $30 million a year if the property tax passes and millions more if the sales tax hike is approved.
Residents have filed formal complaints, saying they're concerned Mesa officials have crossed into a gray area between educating residents about the election and attempting to persuade them to vote for the taxes.
So far, there is no indication the city has violated any laws. The law is clear about the city having the right to answer questions and provide financial information to voters who will decide next month whether to implement the first city property tax in 61 years.
And the City Council, as a political body, has every right to reduce library hours or cancel a city festival, regardless of whether there is an upcoming election.
City officials say they want to inform residents, not tell people how they should vote.
"In many respects, we're the information source, and people look to us to tell them this information," said Bryan Raines, Mesa financial services manager.
Vice Mayor Claudia Walters, who supports the property tax, said if the city were not answering budget questions there would be criticism that Mesa was not being forthright with the voters.
"It seems to me that what these folks (who have filed complaints) are saying is the facts are an argument in favor of voting 'yes.' "
But the issue, critics say, is not whether the city has a right to provide information, but instead whether it has a right to "spin" the phrasing to influence residents' views.
For example, in its Q and A, Mesa asks "If the city did not build the Mesa Arts Center, would this have reduced the budget shortfall?" Mesa's answer was "No."
Although it's true that the center was paid for by the "quality-of-life" sales tax and not the General Fund, it's also true that there would be at least $4.7 million per year available for other "quality-of-life" issues such as police, fire and libraries. That money would offset some of the city's projected $25 million shortfall.
Another question, "What caused the projected shortfall?" explains that sales tax and utility revenue have not kept pace with inflation and costs associated with population growth. But that answer implies the city has not spent any discretionary money in the meantime.
Not all officials agree the city has had no control over its financial situation and is just responding to outside factors. There is no mention, for instance, that Mesa has bond payments due and that leaders never secured a way to repay them.
"It's clearly being done, in my view, with the hope and intent of influencing people to vote 'yes,' " said Mesa Councilman Tom Rawles, who opposes the tax. "It doesn't blatantly urge someone to vote, but the whole process of their educational campaign is one-sided. They are educating, but they are educating for a reason."
Information provided by the city is being used by the official Yes for Mesa campaign, which capitalized on the council's decision to reduce library hours by holding a protax rally last week in front of the Dobson Ranch Branch Library.
Paul Bentz, a spokesman for the Yes for Mesa campaign, said: "We do not ask the city to do anything or impact anything. We simply use the facts that are out there to draw people's attention."
Marilynn Wennerstrom, a longtime Mesa political observer and activist, was one of four people filing complaints over the city's tactics. She said it's clearly an orchestrated effort by the city to encourage voters to tax themselves.
"They are technically clever, saying it's just education," she said. "But excuse me, this is across the board."
Arizona law states: "A city or town shall not use its personnel, equipment, materials, buildings or other resources for the purpose of influencing the outcomes of elections."
But trying to fight the city with complaints is basically a worthless attempt, because the penalty is essentially a slap on the wrist and a stern warning not to do it again.
Bill FitzGerald, a Maricopa County Attorney's Office spokesman, said there's no public agency to enforce the statute, and no civil penalty applies, even if there was enforcement.
"The applicable statute remains toothless," FitzGerald said.
Mesa election
Mesa has kicked off an effort to educate voters about a looming budget shortfall and the need to eliminate or reduce city services if two tax measures fail to pass in the May 16 election. City actions so far include:
• Canceling 2006 city festivals
• Reducing library hours
• Closing two branch libraries on
• Mailing newsletters listing upcoming budget reductions
• Posting information on the city's Web site about the proposed cuts
• City attorney ruling Southwest Shakespeare Co. can promote property tax at

East Midtown Mojitos???
- eateryrow Aug 21, 2008 08:25 AM
I think the title says it all. Where can I go and get a good Mojito in east midtown? Good apps won't hurt either. Thanks!
Pompano - 49th btwn 2nd & 3rd
Sofrito- 57th between 1st and sutton
Maya - 1191 1st ave (btwn 64th & 65th )
(although I REALLY hate to say Tao; their mojitos are delish).
I recently discovered a great place to get drinks that I would have never tried unless I wasn't asked to go there for a work function. It's called Studio 100 and it is on the 3rd floor of the Residence Inn by Marriott on 6th Ave btw. 38th & 39th (not midtown east). They make really really good mojito and other tasty "specialty" cocktails. The bartender was way into talking about her cocktail menu, as well as the ingredients in some of the drinks. The food is not exciting by any means, but it doesn't taste awful (fried shrimp, nachos, a boring cheese plate, etc). They even have a pool table, and it's a great place to go if you want to escape the crowds, very chill.
Avg $ for a specialty cocktail: $14
I've lunched at Cabana on 60th and 3rd; their mojitos are good, and they have a number of cuban/caribbean app options.
I ended up choosing Sofrito. I have to be honest... I wasn't terribly thrilled with their mojitology.
Dos Caminos is always a good Mexican option. They have great mojitos and tableside guacamole that is very good. I go here often after work with colleagues. They have outdoor seating too, which is nice during the warmer fall days. It is on 3rd and 53rd.

|Source: Red Sox haven't re-engaged in talks with Stephen Drew at any point this season
|04.28.14 at 2:14 pm ET
According to a major league source, at no point this season have the Red Sox re-engaged in talks with free agent shortstop Stephen Drew.
There would have appeared to be some windows throughout April where some interest in Drew might seem plausible, with third baseman Will Middlebrooks missing three weeks due to a Grade 1 calf strain and Xander Bogaerts experiencing some early-season defensive missteps (along with a few calf issues of his own).
Following the the Middlebrooks injury, the Red Sox did sign Ryan Roberts (who has since been designated for assignment, cleared waivers and is playing with Triple-A Pawtucket) to fill in at third base.
But at no time throughout the ups and down of April, according to the source, did the Red Sox deviate from their long-term plan of committing to a starting left side of the infield consisting of Bogaerts and Middlebrooks.
The Red Sox remain the one team who would not have to surrender a draft pick in order to sign Drew, who also reportedly isn't drawing significant interest from the Mets, either. It has been believed that New York might be the best fit for Drew, with Terry Collins' team leaning on Ruben Tejada at shortstop. Thus far this season, Tejada is hitting just .200 with a .531 OPS.
It should be noted that teams would not have to surrender a draft pick if they sign free agents linked to qualifying offers (like Drew and Kendrys Morales) if they wait until after the June amateur draft, which stretches from June 5- 7.
|Former Red Sox reliever Scott Atchison signs with Mets
|01.29.13 at 11:28 am ET
Reliever Scott Atchison, who spent the last three years with the Red Sox, is moving on.
The New York Mets announced that they've agreed on a minor league deal with the right-hander that includes an invitation to big league spring training. While Atchison, 36, was an outstanding performer for the Red Sox in 2012, forging a 1.58 ERA in 51 1/3 innings (the fourth-best ERA among pitchers with at least 50 innings pitched last year) while striking out 6.3 batters per nine innings and walking just 1.6 per nine, an ulnar collateral ligament strain that sidelined him for two months in the second half dampened his free agent market.
Atchison was told by Dr. James Andrews that he could pitch again with a course of rest and rehab, rather than surgery. He did, in fact, end up pitching in five games at the end of the season, logging 5 1/3 scoreless innings while striking out two and walking none.
The reliever told MLB.com on Monday that the Red Sox — after declining to tender him a contract in December, thus making him a free agent — had offered him only a minor league deal. Given that the team added right-handers Joel Hanrahan and Koji Uehara to an already deep bullpen mix, Atchison felt that he was better served to sign a minor league deal with a different club that presented a greater opportunity to make the Opening Day roster.

|Trade Deadline: Red Sox out on Carlos Beltran?
|07.24.11 at 9:18 am ET
The Red Sox view the potential acquisition of Carlos Beltran as a "total longshot" and are instead focused on adding pitching before the deadline, according to a tweet from Buster Olney of ESPN.
Beltran is owed roughly $6 million for the rest of the season, the last of his seven-year, $119 million deal. The right fielder is having his best season since 2006, ranking among the National League's top 1o in doubles, RBI, extra-base hits, on-base percentage, runs created and walks.
|Trade Deadline: Giants' pursuit of Carlos Beltran slowing down?
|07.21.11 at 12:35 pm ET
According to a report from Andy Martino of the New York Daily News, the Giants have a hit a sang in their pursuit of Carlos Beltran. The Giants, according to Martino, are now willing to assume most of the $6 million owed to Beltran for the rest of the season but will not give up a top prospect in exchange for the outfielder. The Mets are willing to pay the remainder of Beltran's salary but want an elite prospect in return.
Beltran leads the National League with 30 doubles and 47 extra-base hits. He also ranks in the top 10 in walks, OBP, RBI and OPS.
|Trade Deadline: Carlos Beltran reportedly gets a list of potential trade destinations, including Philadelphia
|07.20.11 at 1:52 pm ET
According to Tim Brown and Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports, the Mets have given Carlos Beltran a short list of teams they could trade him to, and the Phillies are one of them.
Philadelphia's starting rotation has been terrific this season, but the team's offense has struggled to keep up, ranking 14th in runs and 20th in batting average. The switch-hitting Beltran ranks ninth in the National League with 59 RBIs and is hitting .287 entering Wednesday.
The Giants and Red Sox have shown interest in Beltran as well, and Yahoo! reports that the Mets slugger would prefer to stay close to his New York home, making Boston a more likely destination than San Francisco.
|Trade Deadline: Yankees not interested in Carlos Beltran
|07.13.11 at 2:48 pm ET
According to ESPN's Buster Olney, the Yankees will not pursue Carlos Beltran before the July 31 trade deadline. The Mets outfielder has said he'd waive his no-trade clause to a play for a contender, and the Giants have emerged as a potential suitor.
The Yankees currently have Nick Swisher in right field, who's hitting .249 with 10 home runs and 49 RBI.
Olney also reports the Tigers could be in the hunt for Beltran, because of their willingness to absorb big money contracts.
|Trade Deadline: Mets willing to trade K-Rod, Yankees 'marginally interested'
|07.05.11 at 1:23 pm ET
According to Bob Klapisch of Fox Sports, the Mets are open to dealing closer Francisco Rodriguez, even if it means shipping him to their crosstown rival. Rodriguez' contract has a no-trade clause, but he said he would wave it for a trade to "good teams" like the Yankees and Rays. The Yankees could use another reliever, but their set up role could be filled when Rafael Soriano makes his return from the disabled list after the All-Star break.
Rodriguez has expressed a desire to stay with the Mets. He leads the team with 21 saves and has a 3.32 ERA.

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 11/18/14
The CSN Bay Area reports that a league source has informed them that it's "no certainty" the 49ers will use their franchise tag on FS Dashon Goldson for the second straight year. Doing so would require an additional 20 percent, which would run them close to $7.5 million. The report adds that the 49ers would have to create some cap space if they were to franchise Goldson. San Francisco will have until March 4 to decide whether or not to use their tag, but they are expected to continue negotiating a long-term deal with Goldson. Interestingly enough, this will be the third straight season that Goldson will be an unrestricted free agent. He's put together back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons for the 49ers and is definitely deserving of a long-term contract. We'll have to see if they change their mind regarding the franchise tag in the coming days. We currently have Goldson listed as the No. 9 best available free agent in our Top 50 Free Agents list. The post 49ers May Pass On Franchising FS Dashon Goldson appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

Police intervene in protest against election results
Tuesday, April 01, 2014
ANKARA - Police fired water cannon into a crowd in the Turkish capital, Ankara, Tuesday to push back people protesting against Sunday's local election results outside the Supreme Electoral Council.
The group, chanting slogans, gathered in front of the council building to protest the results which have the AK Party leading the polls.
The riot police then intervened to disperse the protesters using water cannons and stun grenades after having warned them.
The local election results are being contested in some provinces, especially in Ankara where it appears the AK Party won.
However, the main opposition Republican People's Party's (CHP) mayoral candidate for Ankara, Mansur Yavas, announced they will ask for a recount as both he and Melih Gokcek, the current mayor and AK Party candidate, declared victory.

I would like to thank the entire Auto Enthusiast Group for a great experience while purchasing my Z3 . The car is everything you stated and more.
The whole Auto Enthusiast Group was a pleasure to work with because of a management that prides itself on knowledge, honesty and professionalism.
Eric and company at Enthusiast Auto are outstanding to work with. We bought our E30 sight unseen knowing these guys (who are the experts) had gone over the car thoroughly. The car has lived up to our high expectations!
The buying process is organized and efficient, the entire team is easy to communicate with, and calls are returned promptly even after the sale. I have dealt with several other classic car shops and these guys make it easy.
I had been searching for a clean BMW M for some while. Finally found a E-34 BMW M5 at EAG. First time I've bought a car without inspecting it first. EAG's outstanding reputation and feedback persuaded me to give it a try. Car arrived yesterday as promised. The car was everything I hoped for + more. It's in immaculate condition. They had taken great care in ensuring that car was delivered in a safe manner, with a tank full of gas ready to enjoy. I've been walking around with a big grin on my face ever since she was delivered. I took her out for a test spin last night, and she performed flawlessly. Eric and the folks over at EAG are great to deal with and they deliver their Bavarian products with German precision. This is what dealing sports cars is all about. They will go out of their way in making sure that the customer is 100% satisfied. Highly recommended. Best buying experience ever!!!
The DB7 we bought from EAG was everything we had hoped for and more. We appreciate the hundreds of detailed photos you sent of the car, the time you spent discussing the car with us, and your meticulous assessment of what the car might need to make it even better. Our DB7 just won first place in the Rochester UK Car Day 2014 concours, and our XJS V12 won second place. Thank you!
The team at Enthusiast Auto caters to the M Enthusiast in every regard. From first contact to delivery, my all around experience could not have been better. Eric and his team educated me on the process, assuaged my concerns and following delivery, were quick to thoroughly respond to questions. Suffice it to say, the car arrived in the condition as described over numerous phone and email correspondence; with full documentation. Just wish I could take the car to Enthusiast Auto for service.
I've waited to write to you and officially let you know how my first "sight unseen" purchase went because I bought another identical M roadster and wanted the full comparison. The difference of how EAG handles the process is night and day compared to other dealers! I can't thank you enough for your integrity and honesty. It was a very foreign concept for me, but you guys made me a believer. I would never buy another car without seeing it first unless it was from EAG! If I did for some reason need to, I would ship it to you first! You've earned a customer for life and for the folks that know me, that's a big deal. I have a thing for Z4M roadsters and am still looking to add to the pair I have now, I just hope they come up for sale at EAG!Please tell everyone at EAG how much I appreciate the car and purchase process!
I originally worked with Eric to sell my 2001 M Coupe to Enthusiast Auto. I did not want to go through selling it on my own. Owning and enjoying it for over 10 years made it tough to part with, so it was comforting that it would be going to a good home. I had never dealt with Enthusiast before so had not looked over their website before negotiating the sale of my M Coupe. In the process I was browsing the cars for sale and fell in love with a 2003 M5. It had the same interior colors (red/black) as my M Coupe! So my sale turned into a trade-in! In the process we decided to do a little Dinan work before they sent my car. After I had driven the car 300 miles the brake light came on. I called Eric and he immediately offered to send the parts and pay for the local BMW shop to install. That is what I call standing behind your product! If I knew how much I would enjoy my car I would have bought an E39 M5 long ago. Originally planned to make it my weekend fun car like the M Coupe, but over the past 6 weeks it has become my daily driver while my Scion FRS sits at home. Perhaps I need two M5s
Eric, Blaire, Josh and the EAG team are fantastic. I can't recommend them strongly enough.
I shopped for almost 18 months for my ideal M-Coupe (red with a manual transmission). I connected early with EAG and they kept a watchful eye out for me in my price range. We found the car and I traded my automatic Z-3 coupe with them for my "new to me" red M-Coupe. During the 18 months several coupes piqued my interest but in the end I bought from EAG because of their reputation. I have taken great comfort that EAG thoroughly vetted the car and corrected deficiencies expertly, they lived up to their reputation. A humorous aside is that I overlooked the characteristics of the sound system. About 75 miles out of Cincinnati I tired to insert a CD but could not find the slot. I called Eric to ask assistance and he told me it only played cassettes. 1999 was in a transition time between cassettes and CD's and this particular car had the cassette. I jokingly fussed with Eric that EAG forgot to give me some cassettes to listen to during my drive to NC. I love my Z-3 M Coupe and look forward to many years of enjoyment.Thanks EAG
Im not one who writes hotel reviews on Trip Advisor nor do I review restaurants on Yelp, movies on Netflix, or books on Amazon. I never respond to emails from various airlines or hotel chains to let them know how we did during recent travels.
However, the recent purchase of a pristine 2004 M3 convertible from Eric and Evan has changed all that! I am now a REVIEWER!! And one with an enormous grin on his face every time he twists the ignition key and hears that marvelous engine roar to life. Or takes a corner at twice the speed he might in his daily driver. Or lowers the top on a beautiful Vermont summer evening.
For anyone considering the purchase of an M car .stop right here!! Look no further. Buy from these guys. They know more about these cars than anyone on the planet. They find the right ones and then thoroughly sort them so by the time the cars in your hands everything that should be done has been done. You may think youre paying a premium for their efforts but I suspect buying an M car that hasnt been subjected to their level of scrutiny would likely cost a whole lot more.
Though the boys tell me most buyers purchase their cars sight unseen and have them shipped I would suggest you treat yourself and check out their operation first hand. And meet the mechanics who have worked on your car, pick up some hints from the body shop guys, and even hit them up for a free lunch (OK they offered, I never had to ask). But for goodness sake dont leave without checking out their private stash of BMWs.
If youre in the market for an M car hop on a plane and check them out. And enjoy not only the car youll buy from them but your new friends at Enthusiast auto.
This a 1st class operation altogether. Evan and Eric were constant professionals from the minute I called to the minute I drove my 2004 M3 off their lot. The car was ready for delivery when they said it was and was EXACT to the description conveyed to me over the phone upon seeing it in person. I respect their no haggle approach and I left feeling that my purchase was of high quality and value. Both gentleman were very knowledgeable and you could tell they were passionate about BMW. This is a well rounded operation. I love their 1st right of refusal policy that really shows they care about the entire time frame of ownership of a car you purchase from them. If you are buying ANY BMW at all and you do not give these guys a chance to earn your business then you are doing yourself a huge dis-service. Thanks fellas!

Online tax scam gang get 40 years
A gang of Ukrainian scammers were sentenced to a total of 40 years in prison on Friday for a a multi-million pound tax scam. The gang created thousands of fake identities and then used them to claim tax rebates from the Inland Revenue. In total they submitted 1,600 online self-assessment tax returns and claimed £8m in rebates …
Professional El Reg ?
The HMRC link contains a phot of the criminals in a hot tub - what restraint shown by El Reg !
What they don't mention is, aside from the £360,000 in cash recovered, what happened to the rest of the money ( i.e. £7640000) ? Surely, they indicate how they are going after much of this missing cash (e.g. selling the expensive cars etc.).
Flash Cars
but could they also be done for not parking correctly in a bay?
Mines the one with the 'Traffic Warden' t-shirt.
That's how they got them in the end
Catching these people cannot possibly have been the result of the Met doing anything, this MUST have been accidental. So enforcement of an unpaid parking ticket with accidental discovery is more likely..
Unless, of course, they were taking pictures of normal London monuments. As we all know, that gets acted upon immediately.
Yeah, I'm in a sarcastic mood. Deal with it.
And the rest
If the revenue are so incompetent that it's that easy to steal £8m from them, we have to assume that this gang is just the tip of the iceberg. I shudder to think how much of our tax money is being stolen in other scams every day.
Oh dear ...
I always give 419ers the account number and sort code of the Bank of England account that I pay my tax into. This is on the assumption that anyone trying to take money *out* will be calling down the demons of hell on themselves.
Now i'm not so sure.
419 modus operandi
<sigh> The 491ers do not, in general, do anything with your bank account details. They ask for them to establish credibility. That is all.
They claimed £8million.
But the amount repaid was £4.5million. About half of the bogus claims were identified as such, and stopped.
Self Assessment means that returns have to be accepted, subject to a later enquiry. So almost all online returns result in an automatic repayment of overpaid tax.
There are safeguards built into the system, and in view of the sophisticated nature of the scam, seems to have worked quite well.
Not always.
Sometimes they "flash" the account with money from a phished bank account, and ask the victim to send most of it on by Western Union.
The phishing victim eventually gets his money back, leaving the scam victim out of pocket.
They come over here
Taking our criminals jobs....
Hard to feel sorry for IT-illiterate HMRC
How disingenuous that HMRC pretends that this is a massive victory over fraud! Their incompetence for allowing this scale of simple, repeated fraud in the first instance, is gobsmacking.
I look forward to the new government cost-cutting measures on HMRC staff with window desks.
...and they will be deported once they've served their porridge?
Presumably after spending 5 years in the country they're entitled to citizenship like everyone else.
One hopes the sentences are such that they can be kicked out of the country when they get out for good behavior in a couple of years.
Actual slammer time
So the 40 years of the headline works out at up for parole in 2 years?
Crime doesn't pay...
Um, yeah it does actually and pretty well at that. 2 years tops is all any one individual is likely to be in for and that's not a bad trade off for a couple of hundred grand is it? Is it? Sore bum not permitting.
What the hell am I doing with my life? I could be living a playboy lifestyle, driving flash cars, parachuting out of planes and wearing peculiarly unfashionable* clothes. If only I knew how to do it. Damnit. I'm just not geeky^ enough.
* even more so
^ or smart
Not so flash
Sorry but those are crap cars. A Cayenne? Barf, if you're gonna spend for a Porsche, buy a proper Porsche. And don't get me started on the Range Rover. They should have bought some Corvettes, BMW M3, a nice Mercedes SLK, the list goes on and on.
How did they get Caught?
How did they get Caught? Is there a Reg article on that?
Just an observation...
... that even "geeky" Russian women are right fit, eh?
21 months to four years' imprisonment?!!!
21 months to four years' imprisonment ?
How WANK is that! I'm in the wrong f'king job

HRC Bridges Recap - A New Monthly Event in Portland
July 17, 2012
HRC Portland would like to share the recent success of a new event, HRC Bridges. Bridges is a monthly gathering held to bring together the steering committee, volunteers, our friends and our families in a relaxed social setting, away from the sometimes faster pace of our larger events. It has been an opportunity to meet the people behind the push for equality in Oregon, get to know them better, find out a bit about our work both on a local level and nationally, and find out about how one might get involved. It has also been a great chance to meet and get to know other HRC members and their friends and family in the local community.
Having begun in May, Bridges has so far held three very successful events. Our launch event was held at Riva on the Park on the Southeast Waterfront, and lasted late into the evening with good food and great company. In June, Bridges met at Cyan in downtown Portland and featured a chance to meet Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown, HRC Founder Terry Bean, and David Martinez, the president of Portland Latino Pride. This past weekend, Bridges shifted focus to a more family-centered event, meeting at the Oregon Zoo for a fun afternoon before heading to Hamburger Mary's for dinner, where 10% of the evening's sales were graciously donated to support HRC.
Bridges events will continue to be monthly, and a wide diversity of venue is planned. If you have any suggestions for future events or if you have a venue that would like to host Bridges, please contact us at email@example.com. We look forward to seeing you at our next event!

Some people may not know what to look for when reconciling petty cash and reviewing its controls. Checks and balances should exist in handling, distributing and keeping records. Here is a simple checklist to verify your client's or company's safeguards. Don't forget to count!
Yes__ No__
2. Is each slip signed by the recipient?
3. Is each slip approved by the recipient's supervisor?
4. Are original receipts attached for all purchases?
5. Is the petty cash kept locked in a safe place, such as a special cash drawer, with limited access to the key?
6. Are any of the petty cash slips received and approved by the same person?
7. Is the custodian the same person who signs the check, or are any of the checks signed by and addressed to the same person?
8. Are any of the replenishment checks above the established petty cash balance?
9. Are any travel- and entertainment-related expenses paid through petty cash?
10. Should any purchases have gone through the regular accounts payable process for a more thorough review and stringent approval process?
If you answered Yes to the first 5 questions and No to the last 5 questions, you have adequate petty cash controls in place.

It is all you would expect from a Hilton property - somewhat of a combination of a high rise business hotel with a tourist resort location. A rather nice pool and fitness facilities. A good restaurant - though $20 US for breakfast perperson is a bit much. The rooms are comfortable and well decorated and the staff - especially Sergio are on top of reception. The housekeepers were attentive to bring extra towels and amenities and it is all one would expect for the pricepoint. ...

BRADENTON, Fla. – FHP has concluded their investigations into the multi-vehicle crashes that happened on October 5th on I-75 at University Parkway. The investigations revealed that there were a total of 21 traffic crashes that occurred involving 53 vehicles. The 21 traffic crashes resulted in 52 injuries with 22 of the injured parties being transported to hospitals for further medical treatment. Of the 22 that were transported, there were two that were flown out via medical helicopter due to the extent of the injuries sustained in the traffic crash.
No fatalities occurred as a result of these 21 traffic crashes.
The road was re-opened the roadway in only six hours.
Although the investigations revealed that inclement weather was a contributing factor in these 21 traffic crashes, it was ultimately determined that driver error was also a contributing cause for the crashes and therefore the FHP issued 18 traffic citations.

I bought these brackets to go in the corners of a doorway between my dining area and living room unfortunately the corners are not square and therefore the right side looked horrible. They either had a gap on the wall or the ceiling. Pass by this product. They are now setting in my workshop totally useless.
I absolutely love the way this looks in my entry way!
I love them, they are already up and look great. Thanks so much for showing such great things.
As long as you're not to close or don't get to feel the decoration, they look very nice. I have them up high, and they add a very nice touch. As others have noted, these are designed to be looked at from only one side, but they are not bad from the other side either.
It's beautiful! I've been watching it for a long time. When I saw it go on sale, I couldn't resist!

Moog Werkstatt
At Moogfest 2014, Moog Music introduced the Werkstatt as a special DIY project that attendees could build in a two-day course at the Moog Factory.
In this video, Moog Music's Steve Dunnington and Trent Thompson give a behind-the-scenes look at the Werkstatt and what it can do.

The new Moog Werkstatt in action
Moogfest: Moog Werkstatt Analog Synthesizer teaser image
Moogfest has released this sneak preview image of the new Moog Werkstatt Analog Synthesizer, with a couple of interesting features:
- Along the right-hand side, there is a break-out patch-bay, allowing modular patching of the Werkstatt; and
- Along the bottom, there's a button-style keyboard.
"Werkstatt" means "workshop" in German, so the DIY function is probable. The architecture is a single-oscillator monosynth, switchable between saw waves and PWM. Both the filter and oscillator mod can be set to either an independent LFO or the envelope. Attack / Decay / sustain switch controls the envelope. The most interesting feature is the analog patch bay along the right-hand side of the unit, implemented as a simple header strip. This should suggest semi-modular capabilities by patching with jumper wires. A prototype shot shows those jumpers in action and a 1/4″ jack plug for audio coming out the back.

- Preparation Time:
- 1 glass (ice optional)
- sparkling water
- 1 packet of powdered flavoring (something like crystal light)
- Pour sparking water in glass and then add powered flavoring into glass until it gets to the flavor consistency you desire.
- I used one of those thin packets (on the go or something).
- I used lemon flavoring, but you can use any of the flavors available.
- It's low calorie, low sugar and easy to adjust to the sweetness you desire.
- No need to add sugar.
- The drink is refreshing and fun with the little bubbles. :)
