2009–10 Malmö shootings
The Malmö shootings were a string of attacks by serial shooter Peter Mangs in the southern Swedish city of Malmö between December 2009 and October 2010.
The attacks, carried out with a 9mm Glock 19 handgun, started as early as in December 2009. At the same time, the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old woman in October 2009 has also been linked to the same perpetrator.[1] The woman was the only ethnically Swedish victim,[2] who was in the company of a friend of immigrant origin.[3] This murder has been linked to the other shootings through forensic evidence, showing that the weapon used was the same gun as the one used in several of the other attacks.[2]
The attacks soon spread fear among the substantial immigrant population of Malmö. "Many people are frightened at the moment", said Tahmoures Yassami, the leader of the Iranian-Swedish Association in Malmö, "especially families who have children."[4] The local police warned against panic, pointing out that the risk for any individual of being shot was very low.[5] At the same time, they cautioned people of ethnic minorities to avoid lonely places after dark, which was when the attacks had been taking place.[6]
The shooter apparently targeted people with dark skin and non-Swedish appearance. As of 23 October 2010, as many as 15 shootings were linked to the same suspect, whom the police had not been able to identify.[7][8] Comparisons were made to the so-called "Laser man", who committed eleven shootings on people of immigrant origin in the Stockholm and Uppsala area in 1991–92, killing one.[5][8]
On 6 November 2010, Swedish police announced that they had arrested a man they suspected was the shooter.[9] According to Malmö police he is now under suspicion of one murder and seven murder attempts.[10] The man arrested was a 38-year-old Swedish man, Peter Mangs.[11] Mangs, who suffered from Asperger's Syndrome, professed to feel alienated and frustrated with society. [12] He expressed strong anti-immigrant sentiments and an admiration for "Laser Man" John Ausonius, who committed similar crimes.[13]
Mangs was found guilty on two counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder, and given a life sentence.[14] The Malmö Appeals Court denied an attempt by Mangs to overturn his sentence, convicting him of an additional three attempted murders, on April 25, 2013.[15] A further request for appeal was denied by Swedish Supreme Court in June of the same year.[16]
List of suspected shootings[edit]
The following shootings have been connected to the same suspect:[17][18][19][20]
- 10 October 2009 – 20-year-old Trez West Persson is shot and killed while sitting in a car in Västra Skrävlinge Kyrkoväg, near Malmö Mosque. Her 21-year-old friend, who is dark-skinned, is seriously injured.
- 23 October 2009 – Several shots are fired against an apartment in Hyacintgatan.
- 31 December 2009 – Shots are fired against the Malmö Mosque on Jägersrovägen. No one is hit, but an imam is injured in the neck by broken glass.
- 25 January 2010 – A 17-year-old boy is shot in the chest and a 36-year-old man in the leg outside a store in Rasmusgatan. Police suspect the 17-year-old was the target, while the 36-year-old was shot by accident.
- 12 March 2010 – Shots are fired against a house in Hårds väg. The target is probably the 22-year-old who escaped the attack on 10 October.
- 16 March 2010 – A 21-year-old and a 22-year-old are attacked at close range while sitting in a car in Professorsgatan. The 21-year-old is hit several times, while the 21-year-old escapes unscathed.
- 19 June 2010 – Three African men are shot at while exiting a taxi in Regementsgatan. One is hit, but receives only a burn wound.
- 26 June 2010 – A 30-year-old man is shot through the window of a gym in Vendelfridsgatan. He is hit twice in the back.
- 27 June 2010 – Only 40 minutes after the previous shooting, a 29-year-old is shot in the shoulder while sitting in a car in Munkhättegatan.
- 24 August 2010 – A fast food restaurant in Köpenhamnsvägen is shot at. The bullet goes straight through the building and hits a car at the other side, but no one is hit. The owner claims to have seen a laser light immediately before the shot was fired.
- 25 September 2010 – A 31-year-old man receives a flesh wound to the head when he is shot outside of the university hospital.
- 10 October 2010 – A 47-year-old man is shot in the stomach at the bus stop by the intersection of Lönngatan and Norra Grängesbergsgatan. The bullet goes through his body, but the injuries are not serious.
- 19 October 2010 – In an incident similar to the one of 10 October, a 28-year-old man is shot in the back at close range while waiting for the bus by Eriksfältsgatan. The bullet pierces the victim's lung, leaving serious damage.
- 21 October 2010 – A 16-year-old boy is fired at by Hermodalstorget, but he is not hit.
- 21 October 2010 – On the same night, two women are shot through a window in Kroksbäck.

"Started well but ended poorly"
The first half of this book was well written, balanced in viewpoint, and informative. I learned things about the industrial animal production system that previously I didn't know.
Unfortunately, it turned into a miss guided guilt-fest as the authors blatantly started pushing their vegan agenda. When they started bashing on Joel Salatin's Polyface farm aligning it with the likes of a confingnment farm, and trying to discredit the writings of Michael Pollan, I had just about had enough. It was really hard to even finish listening to this book. Save your time and money, don't buy this book!

Tummy Ticklers
"The cheerful heart has a continual feast."
Proverbs 15:15
For those dismal days when you're in desperate need of a laugh, you might start a humor file filled with surefire tummy ticklers. Here are a few to get you started, all reported to be genuine entries from church bulletins: —Ushers will eat latecomers. —The third verse of "Blessed Assurance" will be sung without musical accomplishment. —Tonight's sermon: "What Is Hell?" Come early and listen to our choir practice. —Barbara remains in the hospital. She is having trouble sleeping and requests tapes of Pastor Jack's sermons. —The choir will meet at the Larsen house for fun and sinning. —The sermon this morning: "Jesus Walks on Water." The sermon tonight: "Searching for Jesus." —Next Thursday will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get. —The cost for attending the Fasting Prayer conference includes meals. —Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It is a good chance to get rid of things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands!

To you and yours- I hope that yours has been a day of peace, love, and bounty- and seconds on the turkey. And while you are seeing pilgrims, and Plymouth Rocks, and things New English- a gentle reminder. The FIRST Thanksgiving in what is now America was not in New England, it did not involve the Pilgrims, and it was not in November. It was in Charles City County VA, on the banks of the James River, about 20 miles from Jamestown. It was on 4 December, 1619. Please note- the Pilgrims did not invite the neighbors over for a pot-luck dinner until 1621. The group's charter required that the day of arrival be observed yearly as a "day of thanksgiving" to God. On that first day, Captain John Woodleaf held the service of thanksgiving. The Charter of Berkeley Plantation specified the thanksgiving service: "Wee ordaine that the day of our ships arrival at the place assigned for plantacon in the land of Virginia shall be yearly and perpetually keept holy as a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God." BTW, this was acknowledged as the First Thanksgiving by a noted New Englander- President John Kennedy. If you find yourself in Virginia, between Williamsburg and Richmond, on a warm Spring Day- or a cold December one for that matter- stop by for a tour. Berkeley was also the home of 2 US Presidents, the spot where the bugle call Taps originated, and the location of the first Bourbon distillery in the world. We now return you to your previously scheduled pumpkin pie.....
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.

I had never heard about that, Thanks c3. Methinks I smell a topic for my daughters annual school paper on thanksgiving!! Oh wait that was pumpkin I pie smelled!
C3, a great piece of history. But as a original New Englander(living about 5 miles from the "compound"), I couldn't give a muroidea's posterior for anything a Kennedy spouted. Probably, much like Virginia, the feast would have consisted of oysters, clams, fish, venison, squash, ducks or geese, and native nuts and greens. Nothing like what we stuff ourselves with now. I don't know but this is what was most likely available.
Gone turducken huntin'
Excellent post C3, thanks for posting
Thanks C3. Very interesting.
Always have clean socks.
And in November of 2013 the state of Virginia elected their first "Turkey" for Governor.
Trust me- NOT the first- I worked Exec Security for a couple of the turkey's predecessors!
"Good people drink good beer." Hunter S. Thompson
What the hell does it matter? A pumpkin is a big seed pod totally devoid of any flavor. If it were not for all the sugar and spices added to the pulp it could be a squash, who would know? Now a Sweet Potato Pie is made from a plant with flavor.

Buffalo, New York Firefighter, Reservist Killed in Iraq
This undated photo released by the family shows Christopher W. Dill. Dill, a member of the 98th Division of the U.S. Army Reserve and a Buffalo N.Y., firefighter, was killed in Iraq on Monday, April 5, 2005.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Flags flew at half-staff above fire stations Tuesday in honor of a firefighter and decorated Army reservist who was killed while training security forces in Iraq.
Staff Sgt. Christopher Dill, 32, who was assigned to the Rochester-based 98th Division, was fatally shot Monday during an attack on his unit, a spokesman for the 98th said.
''Here's Chris, who not only fought for his country as a soldier, but he fought for his community as a Buffalo firefighter,'' said Fire Commissioner Michael D'Orazio, who ordered the flags lowered.
''Our family is pretty proud,'' said Dill's father, William Dill, himself an Air Force veteran and retired firefighter.
Dill joined the Reserves after serving in Desert Storm with the 24th Infantry. A drill sergeant, he was mobilized with the 98th Division in October.
''He was a kid that loved what he was doing,'' William Dill said Tuesday from his Tonawanda home.
Christopher Dill received the Bronze Star for valor late last year following a mission in Fallujah with some of the Iraqi troops he had trained, his father said.
Of the 150 troops, only 50 had shown up for the mission, Dill had told his father. But since the Iraqi elections, he had noticed a change in the Iraqis, one he hoped would speed his return home.
''Our Iraqis are pretty much squared away. Much of the chaos is gone and they are running somewhat of a professional unit,'' Dill wrote in an e-mail to his father March 25.
''His mission was to get them prepared. He saw some light at the end of the tunnel,'' the father said.
Besides his father, Dill is survived by his wife of five years, Dawn, and his mother and two sisters. Funeral arrangements were incomplete Tuesday. Family members said a combined firefighter and military funeral was likely.
''We're very sad here today because we, too, are a family,'' D'Orazio said. ''He's one of our own.''
Funeral Information:
The Buffalo Fire Department and the Buffalo Firefighters Union Local 282 have announced funeral arrangements for Christopher W. Dill, City of Buffalo Firefighter and Sergeant

Kolkata: Two baggage handlers of Air India
were on Tuesday arrested for allegedly molesting a nine-year-old
girl passenger, who was visiting the city from Boston, at the
NSC Bose International Airport here.
Following a complaint from Binoya Roy, the girl`s
mother, Ahamed Reza, a loader, and his assistant Binoy Sanyasi
were arrested and produced before the Chief Judicial
Magistrate at the Barrackpore sub-division court.
They were granted bail against a surety of Rs 1,000
each. The next date of hearing has been fixed for March 16.
An AI spokesperson said both Reza and Sanyasi have
been suspended.
Roy complained that the duo had molested her daughter
after they handed over their baggage at around 1:30 AM while
waiting for their flight to Boston, airport police said.
The girl and her mother, who live in Boston, were on
a visit to Kolkata.

A Year of California Wine Country Impressions
As we visited wine country all across the Golden State this year, we saw many beautiful sights. These impressions have lingered with us:
Stopping in Placerville on the way to Madrona winery, there's gold mining history everywhere you look.
The drive from Morro Bay to Edna Valley is a slice of "old California" with rolling yellow hills and sentinel oaks. When the fog rolls in, "beautiful" isn't enough to describe it.
We enjoyed Healdsburg with its huge old trees in the historic town square. We love the incredible hotels, restaurants, shops, and bakeries and sipping a sparkler with winemaker Susie Selby in H2 Hotel's Spoonbar restaurant with winemakers all around.
Giving a toast to an up close view of the Golden Gate and the Bay Bridge AND the San Francisco skyline, just a minute from Stein Family Winery.
When we visited Sonoma's gorgeous Dry Creek Valley with its gnarled old Zinfandel vines, we hung out with three vibrant generations of the Pedroncelli family.
Getting our "Italy fix" at Ca' Momi in Napa's fine Oxbow Marketplace, inhaling the heady aromas of great homemade Italian food and Ca' Momi wine and fighting over the box of Italian-style pastries they gave us.
It's been another fantastic fun year with California wine.
Let's toast to more beautiful sights in 2014. Salud!

Nanotech 2007 Vol. 1
Technical Proceedings of the 2007 NSTI Nanotechnology Conference and Trade Show, Volume 1
Chapter 5: Nanostructured Materials and Devices | |
Fabrication of ZnO hybrid structures and light emitting diode applications | |
Authors: | S.-H. Park, S.-Y. Seo, C.-H. Kwak, Y.-B. Lee, S.-H. Kim and S.-W. Han |
Affilation: | Chonbuk National University, KR |
Pages: | 422 - 425 |
Keywords: | ZnO nanorod, hybrid structure, LED |
Abstract: | Vertically well aligned ZnO nanorod arrays with a diameter of 50 - 150 nm were fabricated on Al2O3 substrates with and without GaN interlayers, and consequently covered with a crystalline ZnO film in-situ by a catalyst-free metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE) method. X-ray diffraction and field-emission transmission electron microscopy measurements revealed that the ZnO film/nanorods formed a single crystal with a WZ structure and lattice constant c of 5.2055 Å, which corresponded well with that of bulk ZnO. Neither extra superlattice reflection nor lattice mismatch between the ZnO film and nanorods was observed, implying the epitaxial growth of the ZnO film on the pre-grown ZnO nanorods. The surface roughness of the ZnO film/nanorods hybrid structures was determined to be about 3.0 nm by atomic force microscopy measurements. From n-ZnO film/nanorods/p-GaN heterojunctions, we observed a blue light emission with a wavelength of about 440 nm. |

Tracking the fall from grace of one company in comparison to the ascendance of its arch rival is one of the things we do best.For more than a year now, our surveys have been telling the tale of Dell's (NASDAQ:DELL) woes, while simultaneously tracking the rising fortunes of Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ).
On March 1, Dell announced its fourth-quarter results, and the news was not upbeat. Stung by a sharp drop in fourth-quarter profits, the computer maker warned Wall Street that its future would likely show declining sales due to competitive pressures.
Hewlett-Packard's most recent quarterly results were the polar opposite: strong earnings growth of 26% and revenue growth of 11%.
Let's take a close-up look at our latest survey results:
Dell's Corporate Slide
In the Alliance's February corporate PC purchasing survey, Dell's market share for planned purchases of desktops and laptops continued to erode -- hitting new all-time lows for a ChangeWave corporate purchasing survey.
Bottom Line: Since August 2005, Dell's desktop market share among planned corporate buyers shows a drop of 10 percentage points, and its laptop market share showed a drop of six percentage points.
In contrast, dating back to August 2005, HP's (HPQ) share among planned corporate buyers of desktops was up four points and laptops up five points. The following chart shows HP's upward momentum.
Dell has Consumer Woes as Well
The story is similar on the consumer side of the PC purchasing coin.
Our January 2007 consumer spending results highlighted Dell's continuing troubles, as the company fell to record lows among consumer PC buyers of laptops and desktops. The following chart shows the gory details.
The same survey showed that HP's desktop and laptop share continued to slowly improve among consumers -- more solid evidence of the positive trend for HP.
The main conclusion to be drawn here is that when it comes to getting a handle on the PC market, we truly "get it." And as you can see from this stock chart comparison, HP's rise and Dell's fall have played out exactly as we predicted:
One-Year Stock Chart Comparison -- DELL vs. HPQ
Our goal has always been to gather real-world market intelligence well before the hordes on Wall Street. By going directly to the source -- i.e., by surveying the men and women on the frontlines of the consumer and corporate battlegrounds -- we are among the first to know what's on the horizon for a given company or sector.
Stay tuned. Our newest consumer PC survey is just wrapping up, and we'll continue to discover the very latest on who has momentum and who doesn't in the PC market, well ahead of the Street.

I Love The Eighth Street Changes I
read the letter in the 4/13 paper about not liking the Eighth Street
changes, and it spurred me to let you know that I do like the Eighth
Street changes, as do many of my neighboring residents.
Michigan Taxes Equal Uncompetitive State Michigan has been losing population. According to the eighth edition of the "Rich States, Poor States" report released by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), states with low taxes have been gaining population.
"Déjà Vu, All Over Again!" Sometimes that Yogi Berra quote is pitch perfect. Back in 1993, Michigan's roads were falling apart. Governor Engler refused to raise motor fuel taxes -- he issued bonds instead and kicked that problem down the road.
No To Fracking I would like to respond to the article in the Apr 27th issue regarding fracking.
Find Something Better Our politicians in Lansing love to talk about "no more taxes." I agree that they seem to be against any new taxes on the very wealthy and businesses, but seem to have no problem increasing taxes on the poor and the middle class.
Welfare for the rich
One often sees in the media signs by the Tea Party calling Obama a socialist. Our socialistic policies began with the New Deal with its subsidies during bad economic times. Since then our economy has improved, but the subsidies continue to this day. For example, every $1 of profits earned by corn sweeteners costs consumers $10, and every $1 of profits earned by its ethanol operation costs taxpayers $30.
In 2011 the Tea Party was the reform party. Earmarks were blocked in the 2011 budget because the Tea Party insisted upon it. There is an Office of Congressional Ethics, the only independent watchdog ensuring that members live up to ethical rules because the Tea Party insisted upon it...
Where our money goes
There was once a frequent public service announcement on the radio, asking parents, "Do you know where your children are?" With cell phones, that is far less of a concern now. It's time to change the announcement to "Do you know where your money, personal and taxes, has gone?" Walking away from a cashier, we don't think twice about our spending and the consequences.
Your taxes buy death as do many of your purchases. Your taxes buy inhumanity to others, degradation, starvation, and worse...
It's been almost five months since someone took a saw to an orchard in Garfield Township and wasted 428 cherry trees. The search for the culprit or culprits has gone cold, despite a $10,000 reward in the case. Three other cases of orchard or vineyard vandalism have also gone unsolved in Leelanau County. In two of those cases, 15 cherry trees were cut at one orchard and 22 at another. At a vineyard, someone destroyed 161 grapevines.
What's partly stymied investigators is how strange these acts of vandalism are...Citizens vs. PACs
I believe American citizens, not superpacs and billionaires, have the constitutional right to elect our President, Congress, and Judges. The Citizens United vs. FEC ruling by the Supreme Court gives corporations including multinationals, foreign entities, and unions the constitutional right to spend unlimited funds to oppose or support a candidate without disclosing who is giving, how much, and to whom.
Because Citizens United says money is the same as speech, superpacs allow individuals to do the same. Those who donate the most money win the votes of the politicians. This is destroying our democracy!
Average citizens across Northern Michigan trying to voice their concerns to their legislators can be overwhelmed by the corrupting influence of outside billionaires and corporations who donate unlimited amounts of money.
As a citizen of this country that I love, as a mother and grandmother, I believe we have a right and a responsibility to elect the best legislators who will safeguard and advocate for our family, community and country...
Denied access
On Sunday at the NMC BBQ in T.C., a small group of activists were there to collect signatures for our petition to qualify for the November ballot to end Cannabis Prohibition here in Michigan.
It was a bust because we were forced by campus security (backed up by Traverse City police) to leave ASAP or be arrested. We setup across the street from campus, but only got about 50 sigs of an anticipated 1,000. Both campus head of security and a T.C. cop told me that they were being forced to remove us by certain college board members.
We were even told that if we stayed on grounds after putting away my back-pack sign (that drew folks to us) & clipboards, without purchasing a meal, we would be arrested for loitering...
Birthday bust
What constitutes probable cause? This is one of many questions that has been going around in my head since my house was raided last Wednesday!
Last Wednesday should have been a celebratory day in my life. My boyfriend had just bagged a trophy buck and it was the eve of my birthday. My festive spirit was quickly halted when I received a call from TNT informing me that they were at my house. When I returned home from work, I found many police cars and officers at my house. My boyfriend was being detained in a police car, and officers were going through my personal belongings. I found out later that the officers busted into my house, and had held my boyfriend and house guest at gun-point.
I was told that based on two tips from informers and my boyfriend's history, they felt just cause in raiding my house, instead of knocking on the door and politely asking, which they said was the usual protocol!
One of the informers told police that my boyfriend, Zach, had an illegal marijuana grow room and was manufacturing marijuana. The second informer, which was a recorded citizen tip, stated that Zach was selling crack-laced joints. Both of which were lies!
Zach told the officers as soon as they entered that there was a grow room. The room belonged to me, and I had my medical marijuana card. They proceeded anyway. If there had been an investigation, why didn't the officers know this bit of crucial information before they came into my house? They found no evidence of illegal substances! They also found no evidence of any type of sales. They found nothing out of the ordinary, except a few immature plants over my limit and a few pills with no prescription attached.
The medical marijuana laws are "milky."
Although there is a limited number of plants allowed, what really constitutes as a plant? The few that were removed from my house were small immature plants that contain no THC.
The point to my letter is why did the police feel justified in raiding my house...

IxDA Toronto recently had a very successful event centred around creating a culture of mentorship in our local community. Since it went so well, we thought we'd share our experiences with everyone else... so you can host your own!
The event was based on the model of a speed dating night, except with the goal of establishing mentoring relationships instead of romantic relationships.
The idea was for 15 potential mentees and 15 potential mentors to meet at a pub, where we'd reserved a private room. We set up 15 small tables around the outside of the room.
Hi all-
I just started working at a firm that uses Visio as its standard wireframe tool. I also have InDesign on my machine and would prefer to use this instead. (personally, omnigraffle fan here, but I'm required to use Windows)
Searches for related keywords, an IxDA discussion search, and another 30 minutes of playing with several file formats haven't helped. I can't figure out how to convert a file made in Visio to open with layers intact in InDesign and vice versa.
Anyone know of a way to make these two apps play nice with each other?
Thanks! Jon

· Havre de Grace Seafood Festival :
The Havre de Grace Seafood Festival might not have the best website�whoa Geocities flashback�but they definitely have one of the best food festivals dedicated to scaled, swimming, and clawed critters. This year�s edition runs from August 12 through 14 in Havre de Grace, Maryland, and best of all, admission to all the fun and overeating is totally free.
Crab Nachos, Old Bay Fries, and Lobster Macaroni and Cheese are on our short list for must-samples, but there�s definitely something for everyone as they are promising at least 170 different foods, beverages, and other goodies. After eating too much there�s plenty of time to digest thanks to the live entertainment, and they�ve even booked The Charlie Daniels Band for Friday night. We can�t really fault anything about this food festival, so plan to get yourself to the shores of Chesapeake Bay in just about a month.
· Great Inland Seafood Festival 2011:
Nothing says delicious seafood like Kentucky�kidding�so that�s why we�re nominating the Great Inland Seafood Festival as a great way to catch up on your antacid intake this August. Things run on the banks of the Ohio River�don�t worry the seafood is from elsewhere. You'll find the action in Newport, Kentucky on August 12 through August 14. Everyone is welcome and there�s no admission fee, so it�s pretty much an obvious place to be if you find yourself in the area.
Live entertainment can be expected as well as many different types of ocean critters to sample, but the star of the festival are the lobsters that they�ve flown in all the way from Maine. This year a lobster will set you back $11, but be sure to get to the festival early�as they usually go through 10,000 before things end on Sunday. If the regular lobsters aren�t enough for you�no need to worry�as organizers are raffling a five-pounder each night of the festival. Just get some raffle tickets for $5 each and you�ll be entered to win, but even if you don�t, all the proceeds benefit the Alabama Coastal Foundation to clean up the Gulf of Mexico.

"Two hundred years and more have slipped away, Since to our land the first Acadians came, Bringing their dower of courage, but best of all— What each prized most—his good Acadian name." (from Chapter Fourteen, The Story of the Acadians)
"The poem written by Miss Amy Boudreau is a timely and appropriate hommage to the French ancestors of the Acadian people of Louisiana." —Guy Guoniam de Schompre, Consul General of France
This poem, originally written and published in 1955, and now in its seventh printing, tells the story of the Acadians who helped found the government and culture of Louisiana. It tells of the suffering the Acadians had to go through to forge an existence in Louisiana, and the unfailing courage and faith that helped them overcome their sufferings.
Written in two-and-four line stanzas in simple ABAB form, Boudreau traces France's ceding of Acadia to England and the English attempts to make the Acadians loyal to the king. When they refused, they were placed on transports and scattered among English colonies along the Atlantic seaboard. She traces their eventual settlement in New Orleans, then a Spanish colony, where they were welcomed. The Acadians were allowed to make their homes at the Bayou Teche and Attakapas prairie, along with others who followed and settled along Bayou Lafourche.
Boudreau shows the Acadians as peaceful, law-abiding citizens, loyal to their new country, and noted for their love of home and family. She ends by paying tribute to the descendants of the original Acadians who are still located in the cities their ancestors first settled.
THE STORY OF THE ACADIANS By Amy Boudreau 32 pp. 5½ x 8½ 3 b/w illus. 7th ptg. ISBN: 0-911116-30-3 EAN: 978-0-911116-30-4 pb

The Polaroid Model 20 "Swinger" was a popular Land Camera produced by the Polaroid Corporation between 1965 and 1970. At $19.95 USD it was the first truly inexpensive instant camera, a fact that helped fuel its enormous popularity and made it one of the top-selling cameras of all time. The Swinger was especially successful in the youth market due to its low price, stylish appearance, and catchy "Meet the Swinger" jingle sung by Barry Manilow in a television advertisement featuring a young Ali MacGraw.[1]
The Swinger featured an extinction exposure meter tied to the aperture which displayed the word "YES" in a window below the viewfinder when the exposure was set correctly. Earlier models also displayed the word "NO" when not properly adjusted, while later units used only the YES indicator. The Swinger also included a built-in flashgun for AG-1 flashbulbs.
The Swinger used Polaroid's 20-Series roll film, which was the first Polaroid roll film to develop outside the camera.
Variants included the Model M-15 "Swinger Sentinel" (the Swinger II in non-US markets), which was a cheaper Swinger without the built-in flash, and the Model 3000 "Big Swinger", which used 100-Series pack film instead of the old-style picture rolls. The Swinger name was also used on several international-market Polaroid cameras in the 1960s and 1970s.

Glatiramer acetate (also known as Copolymer 1, Cop-1, or Copaxone - as marketed by Teva Pharmaceuticals) is an immunomodulator drug currently used to treat multiple sclerosis. It is a random polymer of four amino acids found in myelin basic protein, namely glutamic acid, lysine, alanine, and tyrosine, and may work as a decoy for the immune system. Glatiramer acetate is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for reducing the frequency of relapses, but not for reducing the progression of disability. Observational studies, but not randomized controlled trials, suggest that it may reduce progression of disability.
Although the clinical definition of multiple sclerosis requires two or more episodes of symptoms and signs, glatiramer acetate is approved for treatment after single episodes. It is also used to treat relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. It is administered by subcutaneous injection.
Medical uses[edit]
A 2004 Cochrane review concluded that glatiramer acetate "did not show any beneficial effect on the main outcome measures in MS, i.e. disease progression, and it does not substantially affect the risk of clinical relapses."[1][2]
In its pivotal trial of 251 patients, after two years it failed to show any advantage in halting disability progression.[3][4]
As a result, it is approved by the FDA for reducing the frequency of relapses, but not for reducing the progression of disability.[5]
A 15-year followup of the original trial compared patients who continued with glatiramer to patients who dropped out of the trial. Patients with glatiramer had reduced relapse rates, and decreased disability progression and transition to secondary progressive MS, compared to patients who did not continue glatiramer. However, the two groups were not necessarily comparable, as it was no longer a randomized trial. There were no long-term safety issues.[6]
In two recent studies, both reported at the 2007 ECTRIMS meeting, the efficacy of glatiramer acetate was compared to high-dose/high-frequency interferon beta. In the REGARD study,[citation needed] Rebif was compared to glatiramer, and in the BEYOND study,[citation needed] Betaseron was compared to glatiramer. In both trials, there was no significant difference between interferon and glatiramer in the primary endpoints (time to relapse) or in any clinical endpoints, although some differences in MRI measures of disease activity have been claimed.
A double-blind 3-year study found no effect of glatiramer acetate on Primary-Progressive Multiple Sclerosis.[7]
It has FDA approval for clinically isolated syndrome, based on the PreCISe trial, which showed that glatiramer delayed the progression from the first clinical event to clinically definite multiple sclerosis with a risk reduction of 45%. 43% of patients in the placebo group converted, compared to 25% in the glatiramer group.[8]
Adverse effects[edit]
According to MediGuard, side effects may include a lump at the injection site (injection site reaction) in approximately 30% of users, and aches, fever, chills (flu-like symptoms) in approximately 10% of users.[9] Side effect symptoms are generally mild in nature. A reaction that involves flushing, shortness in breath, anxiety and rapid heartbeat has been reported soon after injection in up to 5% of patients (usually after injecting directly into a vein). These side effects subside within thirty minutes. Over time, a visible dent at the injection site can occur due to the local destruction of fat tissue, known as lipoatrophy, that may develop.
More serious side effects have been reported for glatiramer acetate, according to the FDA's prescribing label, these include serious side effects to the body's Cardiovascular System, Digestive System (including Liver), Hemic and Lymphatic System, Musculoskeletal System, Nervous System, Respiratory System, Special Senses (in particular the eyes), Urogenital System; also reported have been Metabolic and Nutritional Disorders; however a link between glatiramer acetate and these adverse effects has not been definitively established.[10]
Mechanism of action[edit]
Glatiramer acetate is a random polymer (average molecular mass 6.4 kD) composed of four amino acids that are found in myelin basic protein. The mechanism of action for glatiramer is unknown, although several have been proposed. Administration of glatiramer shifts the population of T cells from pro-inflammatory Th1 cells to regulatory Th2 cells that suppress the inflammatory response.[11] Given its resemblance to myelin basic protein, glatiramer may also act as a sort of decoy, diverting an autoimmune response against myelin. The integrity of the blood–brain barrier, however, is not appreciably affected by glatiramer, at least not in the early stages of treatment. Glatiramer acetate has been shown in clinical trials to reduce the number and severity of exacerbations.[12]
The mechanism(s) by which glatiramer acetate exerts its effects in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is (are) not fully elucidated. However, it is thought to act by modifying immune processes that are currently believed to be responsible for the pathogenesis of MS. This hypothesis is supported by findings of studies that have been carried out to explore the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a condition induced in several animal species through immunization against central nervous system derived material containing myelin and often used as an experimental animal model of MS. Studies in animals and in vitro systems suggest that upon its administration, glatiramer acetate-specific suppressor T-cells are induced and activated in the periphery.[13]
Glatiramer acetate was originally discovered by Prof. Michael Sela, Prof. Ruth Arnon and Dr. Dvora Teitelbaum at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel. The efficacy and safety of glatiramer acetate were demonstrated in three main clinical trials. The first trial, led by Professor Murray Bornstein, was performed in a single center, double-blind, placebo controlled trial and included 50 patients.[14] The second trial was a two-year, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial and was performed in eleven United States centers involving 251 patients. This study was led by Professor Kenneth Johnson, Chairman of the Department of Neurology, University of Maryland Medical Center, Baltimore.[15] The third trial, a double-blind, multi-center, multi-country MRI study, involved 29 MS Centers in six European countries and Canada, with the participation of 239 patients. This study was led by Professor G. Comi, Department of Neuroscience, San Raffaele Hospital, the University of Milan.[16]
Marketing and distribution[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (May 2012) |
Glatiramer acetate has been approved for marketing in 49 countries worldwide, including the United States, Israel, Canada and 24 European Union Countries.
Approval in the U.S. was obtained in 1996. Glatiramer acetate was approved for marketing in the U.K. in August 2000, and launched in December. This first approval in a major European market enabled Teva to file for approval all over the European Union under the mutual recognition procedure.
Glatiramer has been found to be protective in a mouse model of cerebral malaria.[17]
Glatiramer is currently[when?] in Phase I clinical trials for Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

The company has a leading position in its two businesses, and one is enjoying particularly fast growth. Lear boasts a $1.8 billion sales backlog and it's delivering stronger-than-expected results in a brutal global economy.
Investors, however, are more focused on the recent past: Lear (LEA) gets about 40% of its sales from Europe, which has been on the edge of disaster for several years; the company went bankrupt in 2009; and supplying gear to auto makers has been mostly a bad business of late. The shares reflect these worries. They've fallen 27%, to $40.40, from a post-bankruptcy high of close to $56 in early 2011, and now trade at distressed multiples to earnings and enterprise value to Ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization).
Buyers need to refresh their view. North American light-vehicle production is rebounding smartly. Forecasts by J.D. Powers & Associates put production at more than 15 million units this year, up 17% from last year. After 2008's global credit crisis, the number had fallen to about nine million from 17 million to 18 million.
Car electronics, including the Smart Junction Box (above), will drive Lear's future growth. Recyclable materials cut the weight of Lear's Evolution seat (below) by as much as 25 pounds. Courtesy of Lear
More and more of these vehicles contain new electronic features that control power efficiency and improve handling while offering state-of-the-art audio, security and GPS systems, with clear benefits accruing to Lear. It is the exclusive supplier, for instance, of battery-charging systems for the Chevrolet Volt, GM's electric vehicle, including a wall-charging station, a travel charger, an onboard charger, wiring for low-voltage and high-voltage needs, and a disconnect button.
Revenue from Lear's electrical division reached a record $877 million in the third quarter, and margins increased to 7.5% from 5.4%. Electric sales are 43% higher than two years ago, and profits have more than doubled. Electronics is seen as the big driver of future revenue growth at Lear. "We will grow faster than the market and the space," says Matt Simoncini, president and chief executive. "We're winning business from everybody."

Although this is a slower-growth market, Lear has used its electronic expertise here as well. Drivers and passengers now have heating and cooling options and even the possibility of a massage. Lear is also pushing ahead with light-weight fabrics and environmentally-conscious materials. As auto sales rise, so do the sales of seats.
Beyond sturdy fundamentals, Lear boasts a strong cash position that has allowed it to give more back to shareholders in dividends and share repurchases. It boosted its payout by 12% in the first quarter, giving the shares a yield of 1.4% and a payout ratio of 11%. That means it's got lots of room to hike the dividend. It also bought back 4.2 million shares through the third quarter for $173 million, and about 10 million shares for $452 million since it started the program in 2010. Close to $250 million remains in its share-repurchase program, which expires in February 2014.
Moreover, the strong balance sheet will permit Lear to make more of the niche acquisitions it has used to fortify its leading role in seats and electronics. In the second quarter, it purchased Guilford Mills, a fabric maker.
At less than eight times forward earnings of more than $5 a share and about three times enterprise value to Ebitda, Lear trades at a steep discount to the 10-to-15 times earnings and 4.5-to-6.5 times EV/Ebitda multiples that the auto-supplier group has fetched historically.
While auto-supply stocks generally are out of favor, Lear arguably is the least popular. Considering its $640 million in net cash, or about $6.50 a share, the stock appears even cheaper. There's also the hidden asset of Lear's nearly 23% stake in International Automotive Components Group, which makes a variety of items, including doors and trim, as well as instrument panels and consoles. IACG, with about $4.7 billion in annual sales, is owned by financier Wilbur Ross and eventually is expected to be taken public, a potential windfall for Lear.
"You're looking at a stock that could more than double" in a few years, says Ragen Stienke, a portfolio manager at Westwood Capital in Dallas, as revenue growth and margin expansion lead to a better multiple.
THAT WOULD BE EASIER done if the Continent's woes didn't weigh on the shares, despite evidence that Lear is managing the difficulties well: European vehicle production declined 7% in the third quarter, and Lear's sales fell 10%; yet its operations in the region continue to be profitable. CEO Simoncini points out that European vehicle production is already 30% off its peak, and so a major pullback from current levels isn't expected.
The Bottom Line
Lear shares could more than double within a few years, as cars utilize more and more electronic controls and gadgets. The stock is cheap.
Offsetting the weakness in Europe have been strong U.S. sales. In the third quarter, overall sales rose 2% from year-ago levels, tops among suppliers. Earnings from continuing operations came in at $1.29 a share, well above the $1.21 Wall Street forecast. Overall, Lear is expected to earn $5.37 a share this year on revenue of $14.3 billion.
Many investors still harbor doubts about the Southfield, Mich.-based company, following its 2009 filing for bankruptcy protection caused by an acquisition spree that saddled it with debt. Yet Lear emerged within months with a clean balance sheet and improved cost structure, after eliminating $3 billion in debt and divesting non-core assets.
Lear has come a long way from those dark days. Investors should sit up and take notice.
