Neil Young Applies for Trademarks for New Audio Format
Via Rolling Stone – Neil Young, inventor? The apparently tech-savvy Neil Young has apparently been working on patenting a high-definition alternative to the mp3 format.
In documents Rolling Stone uncovered, Young applied for 6 different trademarks, all related to "high resolution music." Young has voiced frustration in the past over the low quality of current audio formats. He even discussed the matter with Steve Jobs, saying after the latter passed away that "Steve Jobs was a pioneer of digital music. But when he went home, he listened to vinyl. And you've gotta believe that if he'd lived long enough, he would eventually have done what I'm trying to do."
Young can expect about a year for the legal process to play out, says Rolling Stone, but if there are no objections he will get his trademarks. Just don't tell him that .FLAC already exists.

Remove Advanced Virus Remover (Removal Instructions)By Lawrence Abrams on May 31, 2009 @ 02:58 PM | Read 116,601 times.Advanced Virus Remover is a scareware program that pretends to be an anti-virus program. In reality, though, this program is programmed to show that your computer is infected even if it is not. It does this in order to scare you into thinking you are infected and thus scamming you into purchasing the program. When Advanced Virus Remover is installed it will be configured to start automatically, and when started, will supposedly scan your computer for infections. When the scan is complete it will state that your computer has numerous infections that it will not remove until you purchase the program.
While the program is running you will also see false security alerts appear from the Windows taskbar. These alerts range from warnings that you are infected to a remote computer hacking your computer. Just like the fake scan results, these alerts are just another attempt to scare you into thinking you are infected. The current text of one of these alerts is: Regardless of what this programs states, please do not purchase Advanced Virus Remover. Instead please use the removal guide outlined below to remove this program for free. Threat Classification: Advanced information: View Advanced Virus Remover files. Tools Needed for this fix: Guide Updates: 05/31/09 - Initial guide creation. Automated Removal Instructions for Advanced Virus Remover using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:
Your computer should now be free of the Advanced Virus Remover program. If your current anti-virus solution let this infection through, you may want to consider purchasing the PRO version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to protect against these types of threats in the future. If you are still having problems with your computer after completing these instructions, then please follow the steps outlined in the topic linked below: Preparation Guide For Use Before Using Malware Removal Tools and Requesting Help Associated Advanced Virus Remover Files: c:\Program Files\AdvancedVirusRemover Associated Advanced Virus Remover Windows Registry Information: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AVR This is a self-help guide. Use at your own risk. BleepingComputer.com can not be held responsible for problems that may occur by using this information. If you would like help with any of these fixes, you can ask for malware removal assistance in our Virus, Trojan, Spyware, and Malware Removal Logs forum.

As part of the 2003 budget passed by the Legislature, the Registry of Motor Vehicles is required to raise fees for customers whose Class D driver's licenses and vehicle registrations expire on or after October 1.
Registration fees for passenger vehicles will go from $30 to $36 every two years, while the license renewal fee will go from $33.75 to $40 every five years. Customers whose licenses and registrations expire in October must pay the higher amount, whether they renew before or after October 1.
"These increased fees mean the Registry will be able to maintain the service levels our customers have come to expect, despite cuts in our budget," Registrar of Motor Vehicles Kimberly Hinden said. "More importantly, this means we will not have to close any of our branches."
Registration fees were reinstituted in 2000, after four years of free lifetime registrations, while the cost to renew a license has not changed in almost 10 years.
The Registry will continue to charge an additional $5 "counter fee" to customers who renew their registrations in a branch or by talking with a phone representative. Customers can avoid the charge by renewing through the mail, online at www.massrmv.com, or through the Registry's automated phone line at 857-368-8010.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

At 2:25 p.m. the press was ushered into the East Room of the White House
to watch Dakota Meyer, a 23-year-old, former active duty Marine Corp
Corporal, receive the Medal of Honor for his courageous actions on
September 8, 2009 while serving as a member of an Marine Embedded Training

As the press swept through a reception in fron of the East Room, roughly
uniformed officers in full mess dress, their most formal uniform, mingled
with other members of Dakota's unit, family and friends, including Meyer's
grandparents. A unique grand piano with inlaid wood played in the

Westmoreland-Latrobe/LaRoche College - page 2
Does anyone have any thoughts about Westmoreland-Latrobe/LaRoche College Nurse Anesthesia Program in Pennsylvania? I have researched their program and have an interview there next month. Any info... Read More
0Mar 12, '06 by DebbieSueI am a southwestern PAer also. Latrobe and Westmoreland joined up and the system name is Excela Health. Thus the new name of the CRNA program. In addition, I believe that the program is no longer affiliated with La Roche, but now with St. Vincent/Seton Hill. It is a front-loaded program and awards a MS in Health Science. It is a 28 month program.
0Apr 12, '08 by june2009My sister in law is going to graduate from LaRoche's program in august, but does most of her clinicals at forbes and allegheny valley. She is already interviewing for jobs and will likely not have a problem getting one. From what she's told me, she's getting a great experience.

convicted drug defendant receives 60 months in federal prison
Anchorage, Alaska – Acting United States Attorney Kevin Feldis announced today that an Anchorage man was sentenced in federal court in Anchorage to 60 months in prison for his conviction of possession of a controlled substance.
Ubaldo Elias Lopez, 27, was sentenced on September 29, 2010, by United States District Judge Timothy M. Burgess. On November 20, 2009, a federal jury found Lopez guilty of possession of five grams or more of crack cocaine.
According to information presented to the court by Special Assistant United States Attorney Erin White, the Anchorage Police Department initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Lopez on October 9, 2007. Though Lopez initially denied having a firearm, a search revealed a loaded 9mm semiautomatic pistol underneath the driver's seat. After questioning, Lopez admitted that the firearm was his. A further search of the vehicle revealed rifle ammunition, a loaded .357 speed loader, a scale commonly used to weigh drugs, drug paraphernalia, ecstasy pills, power tools, and two Alaska Quest welfare credit cards belonging to people unrelated to Lopez. He was placed in custody for violating conditions of his release for an unrelated drug charge filed by the State of Alaska. At the Anchorage jail, a corrections officer found 12 grams of crack cocaine in Lopez' shoe.
Prior to imposing sentence, Judge Burgess stated that the evidence in the vehicle led him to believe that Lopez was selling drugs in order to support his own drug habit and using a firearm for self-protection due to his dangerous activities. Judge Burgess noted that drugs and firearms are an extremely dangerous combination.
Mr. Feldis commended the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Anchorage Police Department for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Lopez. Ms. White is a prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office who is funded by the Municipality of Anchorage for the purpose of prosecuting gang-related and violent crime cases.

Lucky Dogs Inherit Millions From Heiress
Posted: Jun 18 2010
photo by Marco Komfield, Wall St. Journal
Conchita the chihuahua and her two sibling are three lucky dogs. Conchita's guardian, the heiress Gil Posner, recently passed away and left her eight million dollar estate to her cherished pets. The dogs also will receive millions in a trust fund, along with paid servants to feed, walk and take care of them.
Of course, the will is being contested by Posner's lone relative, and in cases like this, the will is usually amended by the courts. However, we see nothing wrong with a dog's guardian properly planning for the care and well being of their pets after they are gone. What do you think?
It will be interesting to see how this story unravels. For more on this, read Wall St. Journal's article Little Dog, Large Estate

Jeremy Clarkson's Top 10 most offensive gags
A good portion of the population here in The Colonies have some sort of connection to the British, whether it is a direct connection or the Brits decided that our people needed to be civilized. While the rest of us have, for the most part, developed a somewhat more politically correct sense of humour, many of those back in Jolly Olde still get a belly laugh from a bit of derogatory abuse.
This is why Top Gear front man, Jeremy Clarkson will never be fired by the BBC, no matter who he ticks off. Brits love him, so he can go on and keep offending whoever he likes, just so long as he keeps bring the viewers back.
Beyond the obvious appeal of Top Gear, Clarkson's wit manages to offend people here too. A few weeks ago, the Chevrolet Orlando was the subject of one of his occasional stories in the Toronto Star's Wheels section. The lead in photo was taken by non other than yours truly. While a group of journalists was relaxing with some of GM Canada's PR staff following the Detroit Auto Show media preview, the General Manager of a Toronto area General Motors dealer (no word on what a dealer guy was doing at a press event) approached their head of PR and demanded to know "What are you going to do about Clarkson's story". In front of a half dozen journalists. He was politely told that nothing could be done and to take the story with a bit of a sense of humour as it was intended.
A good many of Jezzer's rants don't apply to vehicles though, as his commentary crosses all sorts of lines from race to religion and back again.
Check out his Top 10 Most Offensive Gags after the break, along with a Clarkson's rather amusing views on Jaguar owners.
- February 2011, The Mexicans When Hammond compared Mexican cars to the nation's people, saying: "a lazy, feckless, flatulent oaf with a moustache, leaning against a fence asleep", Clarkson replied that they wouldn't receive a complaint because: "at the Mexican embassy, the ambassador is going to be sitting there with a remote control like this [snores]. They won't complain, it's fine." They complained.
- August 2010 - Special Needs While discussing a pair of Ferrari's, Jeremy said one of them was a "simpleton" that should be called the "430 Speciale Needs". The National Autistic Society took offence to that one.
- July 2012 - Burkas and Lingerie While on the topic of distracted driving, Clarkson came out with: "Honestly, the burka doesn't work. I was in a cab in Piccadilly the other day when a woman in a full burka crossing the road in front of me tripped over the pavement, went head over heels and up it came, red g-string and stockings."
- November 2008 - Lorry Drivers Always happy to tick off the working class, Clarkson compared truck drivers to a British serial killer: "Change gear, change gear, change gear, check mirror, murder a prostitute, change gear, change gear, murder. That's a lot of effort in a day." There were many complaints to the BBC over that one and an MP asked that he be fired.
- April 2007 - Perodua Kelisa The Malaysian government took offence to Jeremy blowing up one of these cars that was built in their country by "jungle people who wear leaves as shoes" and saying the name sounded like a disease.
- December 2005 - The Germans In a now legendary segment, Clarkson gave a Nazi salute during a Top Gear episode about BMW and said their sat-nav "Only goes to Poland".
- February 2009 - Gordon Brown A bit of politician bashing is nothing new, but when Clarkson called the Brit PM "one-eyed Scottish idiot", the Beeb received many complaints about the Scottish idiot part. Not so many about the one-eyed bit.
- October 2009 - Black Muslim Lesbians This one was in the Top Gear magazine as Clarkson complained about TV programmers wanting "black muslim lesbians" on shows to balance out the white heterosexual males that dominate Brit tele. Not surprisingly, this offended many.
- July 2008 - Drink Driving In a classic move, Clarkson and May enjoyed a gin and tonic while driving to the North Pole. Jezzah justified it by saying they weren't on a road. He actually did get in trouble for this one, from the governing body that oversees the BBC.
- October 2007, Smoking Jezzah offended anti smoking folks by lighting up a Porsche branded pipe during an episode of Top Gear. They accused him of breaking the law for smoking inside the studio.

Handmade Brogues – Double Monk Strap
The guys over at Handmade Brogues send me some custom made Double Monk Straps to review. Upon receiving these, i noticed a few things that had caught my eye on a visual standpoint. These shoes were exceptional quality. The leather material used on the inside and outside of the shoe, the hardware and the welt and the leather heel. For the price standpoint, 179.00USD via paypal is perfect. You can fully customize and tailor exactly how you want your shoe, from the type of leather (or better yet, material, YES they have snakeskin). Extremely fast shipping coming from overseas and great customer service via email.
You can't pass these footwear up. Purchase them here.

In indriect response to Stephen Hackett's recent guest post, gridwriter Robert Agcaoili makes a big play for contexts in OmniFocus.
In my world, and I'm willing to bet a lot of others' world also, there are 4 types of tasks:
- Tasks that can be done at work
- Tasks that can be done at home
- Tasks that can be done at a specific location
- Tasks that can be done anywhere
I like the way he structured his Apple context which partially addresses the tools ubiquity I referred to in my A Fresh Take on Context post.

Plies, 'Goon Affiliated' (Slip-n-Slide/Atlantic)
- SPIN Rating:5 of 10
A raunchy hobgoblin whose shrieked exhortations praise criminal cohorts and detail sexual conquests, Plies delivers a wildly funny-if wholly inconsequential-third album. There's "Rob Myself," where he juxtaposes his urge to steal with his accrued wealth, "Model," in which he describes his magnetic ?appearance, and "Goonette," a love song with an R&B hook, tender organs, and bobbing 808 kicks ("For her birthday I bought her a pink ski mask," he says of his soul mate). It's an entertaining, ribald affair, but, like most aggressively lowbrow humor, the jokes get old fast.

The PGA Tour has Tiger Woods and the S&P 500 has Curt Culver. The head of Wisconsin-based MGIC Investment Corp. was recently ranked by Golf Digest as the CEO with the lowest handicap. The fifty-three-year-old says he maintains his 2.4 index without practicing. Here, Culver talks about how golf helped him get to the top and why, unless you're the King, you'd better pay up if you lose to him on the course.
How does it feel to be the top CEO golfer?
Okay, I guess. It means everyone knows my handicap.
Do you get any razzing about your game?
Are you kidding?I've heard from customers all over.
How good are you?
I'm consistent. I never practice. I just walk to the first tee and swing away. I've never
had a lesson, and I'm not really long—250 or 260 off the tee. But when I put it all
together, it works.
When did you pick up the game?
I was about five years old. My parents enjoyed playing. Rather than getting a baby-sitter,
they'd take me with them. I won my first junior club championship when I was twelve.
Have you won other club championships since?
I think I've won twenty-three or twenty-four championships at eight different clubs.
You sound like a natural competitor.
I am. I play better when there's competition. I grew up an athlete in Wisconsin. I played
football, basketball and baseball. I still compete with a lot of the same guys I've known
my whole life. We play most of our golf at a public course here [in Milwaukee] where we like
to gamble and have a beer.
Your main job is running MGIC Investment, the nation's largest private mortgage insurance
company. Did golf play a role in getting to the top?
I can't tell you how important golf has been to my career. I've only worked at two companies—MGIC
and, before that, a competitor. The chairman of the first company where I worked was an avid
player. He'd seen me in some local tournaments when I was still in school. He loved to compete,
so he liked to go out and play with me. I got to know him real well, and that led to a job.
Golf has also helped me get to know customers and senior management.
Did golf help you get to MGIC?
In a way. I was in Milwaukee playing in the state open. MGIC was interested in me because
I worked for a competitor. I decided to go over and interview in my golf clothes. I wanted
to do it on my terms. It was a three-day tournament, and by the end they had offered me a
What is it about golf that you think teaches you about people?
Golf requires discipline in all areas. You can't just drive the ball well. You have to do
everything well. More than that, golf requires integrity and honor. Golf teaches you how to
live your life, because you are out there on your own and you can do whatever you like and
choose to have integrity or to go the wrong way. I've played with some people and learned
that I wouldn't want to work with them because of the liberties they took with the rules or
the way they didn't pay their bets when they lost.I hear sometimes you like it when people
don't pay up.You must be talking about the time that I beat Arnold Palmer. I had won a qualifying
tournament to play the front nine of a course Palmer had designed outside of Milwaukee. He
suggested a Nassau to loosen us up. I shot two-under. He shot one-under and lost ten bucks.
He didn't have a dime on him. I'm happy he still owes it to me. Since the rankings came out,
Jerry Jurgensen, CEO of Nationwide [see Executive File, March/April 2005], has lowered
his handicap to 1.9. Would you care to go head-to-head?His company is based in Columbus [Ohio],
where I do a lot of business. I hope we hook up.

OKLAHOMA CITY, October 2, 2012 — Week 4 is where things are supposed to become a little clearer. The refs are back, so football should start getting back to normal? Here are 32 tweets for all 32 NFL teams. All in 140 characters or less.
Buffalo Bills: Started off great, but gave up 52 points to NE. Isn't this defense supposed to be their strength?
Miami Dolphins: The Dolphins have actually been much better than anticipated. Blew a chance in OT, but still had a chance.
New England Patriots: Put up 52 on the Bills. Back at .500.
New York Jets: More of a disaster than anyone thought. Completely shut out this week. Tebow Time not far off?
Baltimore Ravens: Beat up the Browns, but game was a little closer than it should have been.
Cincinnati Bengals: AJ Green is emerging more and more every week as an elite WR.
Cleveland Browns: Hung with the Ravens, but still lost. Is there a win on the schedule?
Pittsburgh Steelers: Bye week.
Houston Texans: Making a case for the best team in the league. Defense has come up huge.
Indianapolis Colts: Bye week, but still sad news. Head Coach Pagano has cancer. Prayers to him.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Not doing anything that would make anyone believe that team will be good. Ever.
Tennessee Titans: Made Texans look like the best team in the league. Locker got rocked. Not sure if it will matter. CJ2K finally had a good week, though.
Denver Broncos: Manning bounced back but it was against Oakland so it doesn't count.
Kansas City Chiefs: Wow. How much longer can they put up with Cassel?
Oakland Raiders: Who knows.
San Diego Chargers: Beat up the Chiefs. Not much to say, but still a win.
Dallas Cowboys: Romo did his best Jay Cutler impression this week.
New York Giants: Made it interesting against Philly. Should have won, but kick came up short.
Philadelphia Eagles: Is this team any good? They keep winning, but it's ugly.
Washington Redskins: Let Tampa back in the game. Won with a last second fg.
Chicago Bears: The secret to making Cutler look good? Just play against Romo every week.
Detroit Lions: Gave up a TD on a punt and a kick off two weeks in a row. Inexcusable.
Green Bay Packers: Tried to give it away against New Orleans. Almost got screwed by a call for the second week.
Minnesota Vikings: Maybe the biggest surprise team of the year next to the Cardinals.
Atlanta Falcons: Made a big comeback to beat the Panthers. The offense is locked and loaded. Raise your hand if your opponent had Ryan in fantasy. Ugh.
Carolina Panthers: Cam needs to cool it with the theatrics until he gets a few more W's.
New Orleans Saints: Almost beat the Packers but still haven't won a game. Maybe coaching is more valuable than we thought.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Made a nice run against Washington. Freeman looks like he has regressed.
Arizona Cardinals: Biggest surprise team of the season. Defense is stout.
St. Louis Rams: Already has 2 wins which is already an improvement on last year. Both wins have been against decent teams, too.
San Francisco 49ers: Shut down the Jets. Clicking on every facet of the game.
Seattle Seahawks: Lost to the Rams but beat the Packers. Needed the refs again this week.

When Apple first announced the iPad, my first reaction was one I know many people had: "It's just a big iPod Touch!". From a technical standpoint, that description is accurate. The larger size and screen and addition of the 3G antenna are about the only real differences between the iPad and Apple's latest iPod. But I dismissed the iPad without actually trying it out, and that was a mistake. I have found that for me, the increase in size relates to an exponential increase in usefulness.
My first priority when owning a piece of technology is to protect it from damage. These things can be expensive, and I really want a device to last a long as possible. I tend to be very protective of stuff I buy for the most part, and so I put cases on everything. My phone has a case; my iPod has a case. I really like finding cheap and effective ways of protecting stuff that don't interfere with the aesthetics or usability. The iPad has an ultra-slim, sleek profile that really doesn't want to be covered up. So my priority was finding a way to protect the device without sacrificing portability or function.
There are hundreds of iPad cases for sale right now. Some are merely protective, while others attempt to improve the ease of use of the iPad. After days of research, I finally settled on the Cyber Acoustics IC-1000BK Leather iPad case/cover.
At $39.99 it's an average price for an iPad case, and a good value for a leather cover. The case has the look and feel of a professional day-planner when closed. The inside of the case is lined with a felt-like material which provides padding and protects the iPad's screen from scratches.
It's obvious that Cyber Acoustics worked hard to create a case that didn't cover up the iPad. They really wanted to secure the device while letting the design show through. It's the clever retention "clip" that pulls this off.
The clear plastic retention clip is made of a semi-flexible material, like stiff silicone, and is sewn into the inside rear cover of the case.
The iPad is inserted into the clip by seating it in either the top or bottom clips, then bending back the other two corners to secure it.
The semi-softness of the clip corners makes inserting or removing the iPad very easy, yet the fact that the entire clip is a single piece will prevent the iPad from falling out of the case accidentally. Turning the case upside down actually causes the corners to grip the iPad more securely. The low-profile design of the corners allows the various buttons and ports on the side of the iPad to be easily accessed. Another advantage of such a minimal restraint system is that while in the case, the iPad is easier to keep clean and free of dust. Many iPad cases feature wide borders that cover the frame of the iPad. While this does protect the surface of the iPad a bit more, it can make touching the edges of the touchscreen more awkward, and tends to trap dust.
Other features of the Cyber Acoustics case include elastic corner straps that can be used to secure the case closed.
By folding the front cover behind the case, the elastic straps can be reversed to secure the case open. The corner clips help keep the elastic straps from slipping off the case as well.
As you can see in the first picture above, there is a vertical crease down the left side of the case cover. By folding the cover behind the case and bending at the crease, the cover can be inserted into a tab on the back, creating a wedge shape which can be used to angle the iPad for easy typing, or to prop the device up for viewing video.
Also of note is the wide vertical elastic band on the inside cover. When the cover is folded behind the case, the band can serve as a hand strap to make holding the iPad with one hand much easier. The band also works well for storing a micro-fiber cleaning cloth.
Overall, the Cyber Acoustics Leather iPad case is a great way to protect the iPad. The unique restraint system keeps the device safe, while the versatile cover flap makes typing and watching video much more comfortable. Highly recommended.
It is worth noting that this case borrows a couple of features from Apple's official iPad case, namely the creased cover and rear tab for converting the case into a stand. But Apple's case is made of a thick inexpensive vinyl-like material (lined with microfiber on the inside for protection). The separate pieces of the Apple case were "melted" together at the edge, forming a very sharp, uncomfortable seam that runs around the perimeter of the case, exactly where you would rest your fingers while using it. While such a design does serve to offer almost total surface protection for the iPad, Apple's choice of materials and construction method make the case ugly and uncomfortable to use–a surprising decision from a company that is well known for elegant design.

It should seldom be difficult to sell anything as scrumptious as dessert, and the concept for Tesco Mr. Nicecream packaging would make it even harder for consumers to walk past without experiencing extreme temptation. More than representing the sugary treats inside behind them, the labels also advertize a sweeter time when youth prevailed.
Lisa Napier of the UK's R Design London came up with the endearing mascot for this line of ice cream cones, ice cream sandwiches, sauces and toppings. The wonder of the ice cream truck has lost some luster over the past generation, but the adorable image of the mustached salesman evokes this nostalgia. Tesco Mr. Nicecream packaging has a personal touch, communicated through this character and through the charming illustrations that decorate the bottles, boxes and containers.

Claims Fail, One by One in this Pro-Se v. Pro-Se Lawsuit
Plaintiff was charged with violating the Cornell University Campus Code by allegedly harassing a professor. From there on in her legal arc was consistently downward. She hired defendant attorneys to represent her in a CPLR Art. 78 and in a Title IX claim. Both were unsuccessful. She then sued all the attorneys, both individually and as a firm.
In Hyman v Schwartz 2014 NY Slip Op 01362 Decided on February 27, 2014 Appellate Division, Third Department the AD dismissed legal malpractice claims against all.
"However, defendants correctly argue that Supreme Court should have granted their motion to dismiss the legal malpractice claim. It is well established that, "[i]n order to sustain a claim for legal malpractice, a plaintiff must establish both that the defendant attorney failed to exercise the ordinary reasonable skill and knowledge commonly possessed by a member of the legal profession which results in actual damages to a plaintiff, and that the plaintiff would have succeeded on the merits of the underlying action but for the attorney's negligence" (Leder v Spiegel, 9 NY3d 836, 837 [2007], cert denied sub nom.

Here, although the complaint is replete with allegations of Schwartz's alleged failures to use reasonable and ordinary skill in connection with both of plaintiff's underlying claims, it contains no allegation that, but for these alleged failures, plaintiff would have been successful on either claim [FN2]. Therefore, even if we accept the allegations as true and liberally construe the complaint to allege negligent representation by Schwartz (see Leon v Martinez, 84 NY2d 83, 87-88 [1994]; Moulton v State of New York, ___ AD3d ___, ___, 977 NYS2d 797, 801 [2013]; Scheffield v Vestal Parkway Plaza, LLC, 102 AD3d 992, 993 [2013]), the allegations are insufficient to make out a prima facie case of legal malpractice (see Kreamer v Town of Oxford, 96 AD3d at 1128; MacDonald v Guttman, 72 AD3d at 1455).

Your money: Californians owed billions in unclaimed property
Search for your unclaimed property >>
Over the last few decades, more of the property has been piling up at the California State Controller's Office, and the state is working to get the word out that the money is there for the taking.
"We have all sorts of items that end up being transferred to the state, because the company that has been holding them for whatever reason has reported to us that they have lost contact with the customer for over three years," said state spokesman Jacob Roper.
He said the source of the money could be many things: an old refund from a utility company, money from banks, safety deposit boxes or mutual funds, or insurance policies, for examples.
The unclaimed money and hard property held by California totals around $6.9 billion.

[1632] Concordance Rates of O(6)-Methylguanine DNA-Methyltransferase Promoter Methylation in Primary-Recurrent Paired Glioblastoma Samples.
Aditya Raghunathan, Kristin L Diefes, Lindsey Heathcock, Suzanne Z Powell, Gregory N Fuller, Kenneth D Aldape. University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston; The Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX
Background: O(6) methylguanine DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) is a mechanism of resistance for glioblastoma cells against alkylating and methylating chemotherapeutic agents. Glioblastomas lacking MGMT expression are more sensitive to these agents. The MGMT promoter methylation at CpG islands leads to MGMT silencing, and can be detected as a potential predictive test. Changes in MGMT methylation status during radiation and chemotherapy might influence response to therapy.
Design: Patients with glioblastoma who had undergone radiation and chemotherapy, and were subsequently diagnosed with residual/ recurrent disease were identified. Representative formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks were selected from the initial and subsequent surgical specimens. MGMT methylation status was determined by methylation-specific PCR (MSP), performed in triplicate, while blinded as to any clinical data.
Results: There were 7 males and 2 females, 34 to 66 years old (mean 52 yrs) At initial diagnosis. All underwent surgical resection, radiation therapy of up to 60 Gy, and chemotherapy with temozolomide. Residual/ recurrent disease was diagnosed at 2 to 45 months (mean 19.6 months) from initial diagnosis. Seven patients survived 9 to 46 months (mean 23.8 months) to last contact, while 2 died of glioblastoma, confirmed on autopsy.
Seven cases retained MGMT-promoter methylation status in initial and subsequent specimens, as methylated (MGMT-M) in 2/9 (22%) and unmethylated (MGMT-U) in 5/9 (56%). One case initial MGMT-M and subsequent MGMT-U. A second case had initial MGMT-U and subsequent MGMT-M. These two cases were 34 and 36 years old (compared to 57 years in retained status), recurred at 17 and 18 months (compared to 20 months in retained status), and survived 17 and 18 months from initial diagnosis (compared to 25.5 months in retained status), with one dying of disease and one alive with disease at last contact. In this study, we did not find any significant association between initial and subsequent MGMT-promoter methylation status.
Conclusions: While majority of glioblastomas appear to retain their MGMT- promoter methylation status even after radiation and chemotherapy, these data suggest that the methylation status can change in a small proportion of glioblastomas. It has been reported that MSP in FFPE tissue may lack of reproducibility in a proportion of samples. It is possible that technical issues are responsible for our discordant cases. Further work is required to examine this more fully.

Fort Coffee Neighbors
Our nearest neighbors were Cherokees, and resided on the north side of the river; their houses and farms were in view of our mission. The ferry kept at Fort Coffee was owned by a Cherokee, who lived directly opposite to our establishment. He was a shrewd man in business, a regular Shylock in his exactions.

Kinky Boots Book by Harvey Fierstein Music and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper Based on the Miramax motion picture Kinky Boots written by Geoff Deane and Tim Firth Directed and Choreographed by Jerry Mitchell Music supervision, arrangements and orchestration by Stephen Oremus At the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, 302 West 45th
New York, NY. This is the second production of Kinky Boots I have seen. I first saw the show with the original Broadway cast in June last year, and enjoyed it so much (specially the boots!) that on this return visit I thought my fashionista friends had to see it too. Good decision because I confess I loved it even more the second time around.
Other Desert Cities by Jon Robin Baitz, Directed by Joe Mantello, A Lincoln Center Theater production, Booth Theatre, 225 West 45th St, NY Jan 25th, 2012
New York, NY: This play was the fifth production I saw in my New-York-one-week-seven-play marathon. Amidst some really great theatre, this was the show that I found the most compelling. The story was gripping and the characters were fully developed and utterly believable.
Although I enjoy all the varied theatrical genres, my favorite form of play is one with a strong dramatic script where stakes are high and the arc of evolution of the characters is meaningful. I thus found it especially interesting to compare the emotional impact of the two dramas I saw back to back, namely Seminar and Other Desert Cities. Both plays dealt, albeit from different perspectives, with the way the creative act of writing and the written product, book or story, impacts both writer and reader. Both plays had first class acting and great production values, set, lighting, costumes etc but of the two plays, only Other Desert Cities had the "wow" factor for me; getting me right in the guts. I think the difference lies in the scripts.
Bob Conceived and directed by Anne Bogart Created and performed by Will Bond, Text adapted by Jocelyn Clark SITI Company, Bessie Schonberg Theatre at New York Live Arts Jan 19 to 29, 2012
New York, NY: Inspired by the work of avant-garde theatre director, Robert Wilson, Bob is a homage to a man whose career in the theatre pushed the boundaries of performance though movement and manipulation of space and time. Commissioned by the Wexner Center for the Arts at Ohio State University, after it premiered in February 1998, the show moved to New York in April 1998, where it garnered Obies for both Lighting and Sound Design. In honor of Wilson's 70th birthday in 2011, SITI brought the show back to the stage for a limited run at New York Live Arts.
Although I had heard much about the teaching of SITI Company, their summer intensive programs, and their workshops in Viewpoints and Suzuki training, I had not until now had the opportunity to see a SITI production. So when I realized that Bob was on during the week I was in New York, I leapt at the opportunity to get tickets. I loved the show and watching Bond's elegantly controlled performance gave me a visceral understanding of the creative process in a way that I could not get from merely reading about it.
Seminar by Theresa Rebeck, Directed by Sam Gold, 101 Productions,Ltd.., Golden Theatre, January 24th, 2012
New York, NY: I had seven time slots to see theatre during my week in New York, and so many tantalizing possibilities to chose from. Seminar was one of my first choices, both for the subject matter, namely a workshop for young aspiring writers, and for the rare opportunity to see Alan Rickman on stage. Rickman and the other four cast members performed superbly, the on-stage energy and chemistry of the ensemble was remarkable and the design aspects were as excellent as I would expect of a Broadway production.
Yet I did not have a "wow - I really want to see this again" response to this play and I left feeling vaguely disappointed. The next day I saw a matinee performance of Other Desert Cities and this helped clarify what for me was missing in Seminar. I think the fundamental problem lies in the script which lacks tension and and is populated by shallow, facile characters.
Sleep No More Directed by Felix Barrett and Maxine Doyle Designed by Barrett, Livi Vaughan and Beatrice Minns Choreography by Doyle Sound Design by Steven Dobbie Lighting Design by Barrett and Euan Maybank Costume Design by David Israel Reynoso An Emursive and Punchdrunk production McKittrick Hotel, New York Held over till March, 2012
One of the hottest theatre tickets in town is the audience immersive experience, Sleep No More. Sleep No More is the creation of Punchdrunk, a British dance Company who originated the show in London in 2003, bringing it to Boston and then to New York. Loosely, very loosely, based on Macbeth, with elements of film noir and Rebecca thrown in, it is physical theatre set in "found space." in this case the setting is the abandoned McKittrick Hotel in Chelsea. The audience, each person wearing a mask, and bound to keep silent at all times follows actors around as the various stories unfold. Its New York run has been extended several times and is currently set to run to March 24th, 2012.
We arrived for our 7 PM time slot on a freezing cold night. We lined up on the snow covered pavement outside the entrance to the old McKittrick Hotel. To quote from the Sleep No More website "Completed in 1939, the McKittrick Hotel was intended to be New York City's finest and most decadent luxury hotel of its time. Six weeks before opening, and two days after the outbreak of World War II, the legendary hotel was condemned and left locked, permanently sealed from the public. Until now..." Tantalizing - because nowhere could I find any details about the building as a hotel and why the hotel was condemned.
New York, New York 2009 – Seven Days of Theatre, Food and Dance: PART I
New York, New York 2009 – Seven Days of Theatre, Food and Dance: PART II
Friday September 11thLast night I saw Yasmin Reza's play, God of Carnage, with Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfino and Marcia Gay Harden.
Tomorrow I am seeing the Keith Huff' play, with Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman, called A Steady Rain. And how appropriate. This morning I woke to see a heavy rain pelting against the window. Up till now the weather has been wonderful but I guess New York has finally realized that it's not summer any more.
I had originally planned to wander around among the stores in SOHO but without any rain gear and boots I did not feel like venturing out into the wet. I don't really have to go out until 2 to get uptown for my dance class. The weather forecast predicts light rain tomorrow morning , clearing for Sunday and nice on Monday- but on Monday I will be on my way home to Vancouver. Although Mike had given me an umbrella, I really did not have suitable rain gear with me and by the time I got to the studio for my 3 pm lesson I was soaked. I changed out of my damp jeans into a dance dress and put on my shoes. I was delighted to find that my feet had finally shrunk back to size 4.5. I had arranged to meet Mike later at the studio for his regular lesson and then we were going out for supper. But after my lesson it was still raining so hard that rather than venture out to window shop I just settled down with my notebooks and my lap top and caught up with my writing.
When Mike arrived, his teacher, Oleksandra was running a few minutes late so we had time to chat. We decided we would have a lesson together so we worked on some chacha, and leads and follows. it was almost half past eight by the time the class was over and I changed back into my damp jeans and other shoes. I thanked Yuriy for the lessons - I really enjoyed them - and said goodbye to both of them.
It was still raining when Mike and I left the studio so we decided to get a cab down to the East Village. For dinner that evening, Mike had planned to take me to one of the typical new restaurants that have opened up in the re-gentrified East Village. The area attracts a lot of young people, and the bars and restaurants are humming, high energy places.
But when we made our reservation for Perbacco, the hot new Italian restaurant on E 4th Street, between Aves. A and B, Mike and I failed to take a few factors into account.
Firstly eating dinner at 9 would mean eating three hours later than my usual dinner time, so I was really hungry and quite tired from 3 hours of dance. Secondly what in Mike's view is vibrant and high energy, to me as loud and crowded.
After waiting quite a few minutes for a table we were seated at a rather small table against the wall. There were tables of four on either side of us and little space between us. I felt crowded and uncomfortable. The lighting was very low - ambiance I suppose -but I simply could not read the menu in the poor lighting. So I felt distinctly grumpy - not my usual state at all
But worse was to come. Mike decided we needed a good bottle of red wine and we got a nice 2006 Montepulciano. After the waiter had just filled my glass, in an attempt to move my purse to make more room, I managed to knock my glass of red wine onto the floor. Glass shattered, expensive wine on the floor, and I was feeling like an clumsy idiot. I actually can't remember when I ever spilled a glass of wine in a restaurant before. Not in the last thirty years!
What to do? I wanted to have a nice relaxed dinner with Mike so we could both unwind, and discuss all the theater I had seen and my restaurant experiences. And here I was instead feeling irritable and edgy.
There was only one solution.First I rapidly drained the wine that the waiter had poured into the replacement glass. Then as a warm glow began to radiate through my body I chowed down on bread dipped in olive oil, sat back and relaxed and got Mike to read me the menu items..
Gradually the alcohol soothed my jangled neurons, and I settled down to enjoy the meal. We ended up having a very pleasant meal.
Emily by Chris CraginDirected by Steve DayFirebone TheaterTheatre Row, 42nd St, NYSeptember 13, 2009
New York, NY: I had only the vaguest knowledge about the life of Emily Dickinson, who posthumously came to be considered one of America's major poets. I knew that in her latter years she had become reclusive and eventually did not leave her house but I knew little else of her history. So I eagerly anticipated my visit to Theatre Row to see this new play by emerging playwright, Chris Cragin.
Theatre Row is a great asset for smaller theatre companies. It houses 5 theatres ranging in seating capacity from 55 to 199 seats. I saw Ascension, an excellent production, in The Lion on my last visit, and Emily is running in The Kirk. It is a long narrow theatre that seats about 90 people and it was almost full. Nice for a Sunday matinee of a new play.
The Retributionists by Daniel GoldfarbDirected by Leigh SilvermanPlaywrights Horizons Theatre, New YorkThrough September 27th, 2009
New York, NY: The World Premiere of The Retributionists, a new play by Daniel Goldfarb, is presently being staged at Playwrights Horizon, which like our own much smaller Vancouver Playwrights Theatre Centre, is dedicated to supporting and developing playwrights and their works. The production offically opens Monday, September 14 when I will be back in Vancouver, but I managed to catch it in preview. Goldfarb, who is originally from Toronto, obtained a BFA and MFA from NYU, and now lives in New York and teaches at NYU.
Tuesday September 8th
Back in Manhattan after an awesome dance-filled Labour Day Getaway Cruise, feeling great except for my tired feet. I am ready for another 5 days of dance, theatre and fine food. First thing on the agenda will be to pick up a pair of practice shoes for the next couple of lessons. Somehow on board ship my feet must have grown from a dainty size 4½ to something huge. By the end of the voyage I felt like one of Cinderella's sisters, trying to squeeze my foot into a shoe that was suddenly far too small. Oh well, no prince for me I guess.
I plan to spend the rest of the day catching up on writing, laundry and planning my feasts for mind and body for my remaining days in the city.
Wednesday, September 9th - No Gill, you're not in a Bruce Willis movie !
I guess it was bad karma for being amused at the lady in the elevator who was scared of heights but my day started out with a bang - literally. I have only two phobias - I shudder at fluttering things like butterflies and moths - and I have a mild degree of claustrophobia. While my ultimate claustrophobic nightmare would be to be in a submarine, being trapped in an elevator would come pretty close. And guess what happened.
With my day planned out to the minute - subway to Times Square, pick up theatre tickets, visit Worldtone dance shop, have lunch, go to dance lesson, have supper, see play - I was feeling quite the jaunty travel-writer as I waited for the elevator on the 11th floor of my building. After all I had sort of mastered the routes I needed on the New York subway, only turned in the wrong direction about 5 times, and was comfortable finding my way around the various areas of Manhattan where I needed to go. After all in theory with an intelligently numbered grid system even a directionally challenged person should hardly stray too far wrong. But back to the elevator.
So the elevator comes, I enter and press the button for the Lobby. Doors close, the elevators starts to move - and I hear a loud bang. The elevator drops precipitously and then stops. My stomach continues downward. Oh Oh. I look at the indicator - it still says 11 and it is not moving. I press the Door Open button - no response. Something was definitely wrong but an intrepid world traveller does not panic, even a claustrophobic world traveller.
Burn The Floor Directed and choreographed by Jason Gilkison Longacre Theater,220 West 48th St., New York Till January 3rd, 2010
New York, NY: As a reviewer, I think it important that my readers know the biases and foibles that influence my writing. So before I write another word about the show itself, I have two confessions to make.
Number one is that there is no way I can be even remotely objective about this production. I am an unrepentant ballroom dance addict (doing as well as watching) and my summary of this show is that I loved it, loved it, loved it - yup, I really really loved it.

Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 8/21/2008
Suzuki SX4 SportBase price: $14,999Fuel cost: $9327Cost of ownership: $29,013
Suzuki's SX4 is the most expensive car to operate over a five year period, primarily due to the car's steep depreciation and middling fuel economy. On the highway, the SX4 achieves a respectable, if not stellar, 31 mpg. It's the 23-mpg EPA city rating that really calls the SX4's subcompact credentials into question. Estimated fuel costs for five years are more than $1000 higher than any other car in the comparison. Additionally, after five years of use, the SX4 will be worth about $8650 less than its purchase price.
With 143 hp on tap, the SX4 is the brute of the subcompact bunch, beating all of the other cars by more than 30 hp. The clutch and shifter work well together and short gearing makes sprightly acceleration part of the Suzuki's DNA. The Suzuki's ride, however, is less than ideal. While the SX4 sedan we drove only comes in front-wheel drive, its five-door hatchback sibling is unique to the subcompact class in offering standard all-wheel drive for the snow-averse.
Hyundai Accent SEBase price: $15,445Fuel cost: $8199Cost of ownership: $27,260
Like the Suzuki, the Accent suffers with below-average resale value and fuel economy that is slightly behind the others. EPA ratings place the smallest Hyundai's fuel economy at 27 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. The Accent has the lowest repair costs of the vehicles in the comparison, as the car's five-year warranty puts all of the work on Hyundai's credit card.
Of the subcompacts gathered here, we find the Accent at the top of the list in terms of driver engagement. Its slick B&M racing shifter and capable chassis tuning make it fun to drive. However, The Accent lacks some of the comforts that we would want in a car serving as a daily driver, particularly on the highway where engine buzz and harsh bumps invade the cabin.
Chevrolet Aveo5 LSBase price: $12,680Fuel cost: $8220Cost of ownership: $23,913
At more than $3000, there is a significant difference in the cost to operate the Aveo5 and Hyundai Accent, driven largely by the fact that the Accent depreciates much quicker. Over five years of driving, the cost to own an Aveo5 is just $17 more than the Fit. Recent engine tweaks had only a minor affect on the Aveo's power numbers but helped boost its city fuel economy from 24 mpg to 27 mpg. Highway fuel economy is rated at 34 mpg. While the Aveo5 may be middle-of-the-pack when it comes to cost, that's far ahead of where it places with regards to driving.
It's a car that is five years behind the competition in terms of refinement, with a spongy suspension, vague transmission and poorly calibrated throttle. Years ago, the subcompact driving experience evolved from automotive persecution to modern comfort, style and dynamics, yet the Aveo5 seems like it was built for that bygone era. GM has done a commendable job on the interior of this car; it's just a shame that equal effort wasn't spent on the mechanicals.
Honda Fit SportBase price: $15,940Fuel cost: $7800Cost of ownership: $23,897
The Honda Fit is a well-rounded fuel-sipper, earning 28 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. That efficiency will save you $1000 in fuel over five years compared to the Chevrolet, Hyundai, and Suzuki. In terms of overall ownership cost, our Fit cracks the top half of our six-car test.
Driving the Fit is satisfactory, but by no means thrilling. The engine does its part well, but the shifter lacks feel and the suspension is tuned on the soft side. What the Fit lacks in driving pizzazz, it makes up for in functionality. Honda has done an excellent job with packaging inside the Fit. Despite a diminutive size, the Fit offers incredible interior space and its rear seats perform a number of acrobatic moves to make cargo hauling even easier.
Toyota PriusBase price: $22,220Fuel cost: $5292Cost of ownership: $23,028
Even low-weight, small-engined subcompacts can't put up fuel economy numbers like the Toyota Prius hybrid's. Rated at 48 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway, the Prius will save you more than $2000 in fuel costs over five years compared to these other cars. Because the Prius has a higher price of entry than its competitors here, you'll end up paying more to finance the vehicle, one reason it hasn't won the cost-of-ownership battle.
The Prius may not be quick on the straights or spirited through turns, but it is certainly a respectable driver for around-town jaunts and highway cruising. What it lacks in driving dynamics, it makes up for with the electronic energy display on the dash that turns feather-footed acceleration into a game. While the Prius may sticker $7000 higher than many of our subcompacts, that doesn't translate into more style or comfort. Toyota's money clearly went into the hybrid powertrain, leaving the dash a dull expanse of plastic. Several of the budget subcompacts here have way more style inside than the Prius. Still, many people will appreciate that the Prius offers more interior space for moving people and gear than the small cars while still returning the best fuel economy.
Toyota Yaris SBase price: $13,945Fuel cost: $7440Cost of ownership: $21,785
The Yaris is able to win the cost-of-ownership contest by carrying below-average costs in nearly every category from depreciation to financing to fuel. Achieving 29 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway makes it the most fuel-efficient car in the test after the Prius.
The Yaris can be a bit of a bore behind the wheel, combining a lackadaisical engine and drab interior. Opting for the manual transmission will help to keep you interested. By adding a five-door hatchback model for 2009, Toyota has established a trio of Yarises to offer consumers whatever body style fits their lifestyle. Owning a Yaris for five years will save you about $1300 over a Prius. While hybrids may be a smart way to tackle high gas prices, Toyota itself has proven that they're not the cheapest way to drive.
