The diabetes drug market is now changing rapidly due to major product withdrawals. In the next strategic step forward in an effort to commercialize Naturlose as a drug to treat diabetes, contracts have been signed with two pharmaceutical market research firms to analyze the current market for Type 2 diabetes drugs and help to position Naturlose within that product space. In addition, primary market research will be conducted under these contracts with physicians and patients to determine the impact of new formulations and dosing regimens, and distributors will be surveyed to package the drug in the optimal form.

SunWise Partnerships
As part of a long-term strategy to make sun safety a sustainable and community-based effort, SunWise has expanded from a traditional K-8 classroom audience to include a number of informal education, sports, and non-profit sun protection organizations. By forming partnerships, we are able to pursue a more comprehensive approach to teaching children and caregivers about sun safety. The idea is to reinforce sun safety messages throughout the community—not just in K-8 classrooms—to get people to change their behavior when it comes to protecting themselves from the harmful health effects of UV exposure.
Current Partners
University of Arizona Skin Cancer Institute
The University of Arizona Skin Cancer Institute works to prevent and cure skin cancer by uniting innovative research, clinical care, education and community outreach.
The Skin Cancer Institute offers Project SASS (Students are Sun Safe), which is an interactive sun safety presentation for middle school and high school students. Project SASS is taught by graduate and undergraduate students who complete a structured training program. University of Arizona students who complete Project SASS training can serve as peer educators and can receive academic credit for their outreach.
Oregon Health and Science University
Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) works throughout the year to conduct outreach among Oregon teachers and promote sun safety education in the classroom.
Let's Get Healthy is an education and research program based out of OHSU. Free health fairs are hosted throughout Oregon to help participants learn about their personal health (such as their diet, body fat composition, and blood chemistry). These health fairs also include sun safety and skin cancer prevention education.
Science Centers and Information Education Organizations

If they made a Pokemon game like that for 3DS, (like the Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness and Pokemon: Colosseum games (which is what I've been wanting since forever), real pokemon noises (instead of annoying screeches), WiFi battles and training around the world, etc.) that would be the best Pokemon game ever. I would totally buy it. And as much as I like being able to catch every Pokemon, I would be a little disappointed if they took out all the old ones. It was make it easier, but who doesn't like the classics - like pikachu, of course, or onix. As long as there was still a way to get all the other pokemon (like from other games I own with trade, or a download event), then I would fine with having only the newer pokemon in the game (that would mean, of course, adding in the National Pokedex at the end of the game :]). I hope they make this game, and it comes out soon!

NORMAN — A Cleveland County jury convicted a Noble man of first-degree manslaughter Thursday in the 2012 traffic death of Safari Belay McDoulett.
Noble man convicted in traffic death of Oklahoma City woman
McDoulett, 36, of Oklahoma City, was the community relations director for the Oklahoma County District 2 office when she was killed Feb. 20, 2012, on State Highway 9 near 120th Avenue SE.
Mark Allen Peters, 54, was found guilty of driving under the influence of drugs when his Dodge Ram pickup crossed the centerline and struck McDoulett's Toyota Sequoia. She died at the scene.
Jurors deliberated about two hours before convicting Peters of manslaughter, possession of a controlled dangerous substance and obstructing an officer.
In a second sentencing stage, the jury deliberated another two hours before recommending that Peters serve 38 years in prison on the manslaughter charge and one year on the possession of a controlled substance charge. They also recommended fines totaling $2,000.

BATH, Maine (AP) — Some of the Navy's futuristic weapons sound like something out of "Star Wars," with lasers designed to shoot down aerial drones and electric guns that fire projectiles at hypersonic speeds.
That future is now.
The Navy plans to deploy its first laser on a ship later this year, and it intends to test an electromagnetic rail gun prototype aboard a vessel within two years.
For the Navy, it's not so much about the whiz-bang technology as it is about the economics of such armaments. Both costs pennies on the dollar compared with missiles and smart bombs, and the weapons can be fired continuously, unlike missiles and bombs, which eventually run out.

This week was National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week and the news was filled with fantastic events across the country. In scanning the headlines I discovered a reoccurring theme: college students have been some of the main movers and shakers. As a (somewhat) recent grad myself, it is great to see students making a difference in their communities.
"Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in a world where you think your tests and papers are the biggest problems going on," says a senior at the University of Colorado who was helping organize a "Hunger Banquet." How true.
Students at Coastal Carolina University, the University of Iowa, and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas all made headlines with "sleep out" events coupled with food or volunteer drives. Indian University students raised funds and awareness in a manner befitting a college town like Bloomington: with an indie-rock concert.
I hope during these events the students paused to consider if any of their classmates had previously or were currently experiencing homelessness. As education costs continue to rise we hear increasingly about financially-strapped college student struggling to meet the most basic needs – including food and housing.
A number of these events across the country did a great job of focusing on the most vital question: how do we end homelessness? In Rock Hill, SC the hot topic was the need for housing for people living with HIV. "I've heard it many times," says Anita Case, ED of Catawba Care Coalition, "housing is health care." Students at Mary Baldwin College also aimed not only to raise awareness, but uncover solutions as well.
Did you miss out on these events? Don't worry, there is still plenty you can do to help!

I am a homeless single woman who has been homeless for two years. And since today is the homeless walk, I am writing to ask for assistant from the walk.
Because I am a single woman, there were no housing programs within the state where I once lived to have helped me when I became homeless.
I moved from the state where I once lived, and into Maryland to live with my uncle who is still providing food and shelter for me since 2008.
Employment has been very difficult to come by so I have not been able to move out of my uncle apartment.
Once you have read my note could someone please contact me at my e-mail address which is email@example.com and leave me a telephone number where I can reach you.

ALBANY, Ga. -- There was no question that when Colette Jenkins decided to start a nonprofit whose purpose is to help women impacted by the horrors of multiple sclerosis, breast cancer and heart disease reclaim their self-esteem she would name the organization Chosen to Conquer.
That name, Jenkins insists, is an apt description of her newfound purpose in life.
"I was chosen by God to conquer this disease, to conquer MS," Jenkins, who started the nonprofit in 2008, said. "And I think seeing is believing. If someone looks in the mirror and sees MS, then they are MS. Chosen to Conquer is a way to empower women to again be a whole person, to be all they can be."
Jenkins' efforts so impressed a special committee with the Albany Area Chamber of Commerce, her organization was named the chamber's 2011 Nonprofit of the Year.
"Are you serious? I was just amazed," Jenkins said when asked about the award handed out Nov. 18. "We're brand new here, and this honor clearly says to me that the need is present in this community."
Jenkins' improbable journey to founding Chosen to Conquer is one filled with twists and turns, joy and heartache and enough apparent divine intervention to last several lifetimes. But there's no question where the inspiration for that journey started: with her parents, Sam and Ann Roberts.
Sam Roberts worked with the Albany State University campus police until heart disease left him disabled, and Ann spent a distinguished career teaching youngsters. Each left an imprint on their daughter that has allowed her to become the giving person she is today.
"My dad was my rock, my buddy," Jenkins said as she eyes a portrait of her late father taken by professional photographer Adrian Jenkins, a photo that would spark a fairy-tale romance and marriage. "And my mother, there was a point when she had to take care of both of us. I realized that she is a lion."
After graduating Albany High School, Colette Jenkins and one of her friends enrolled in the new criminal justice program at Albany State University. They planned to become lawyers. But, following a series of seemingly unrelated events, the "120-pounds soaking wet girly-girl" Jenkins ended up serving five years as a trooper with the Georgia State Patrol.
"I worked as a dispatcher at Albany State, and during that time I worked out with a trooper -- Rufus Grace -- who was teaching me martial arts," Jenkins said. "I complained about not making much money working part-time at Albany State, and he said he could get me on with the State Patrol.
"I figured that would be part of a natural progression that would help me meet my goal of becoming an attorney."
However, Jenkins' progression proved to be in another area of law. She started as a radio operator with GSP, advanced to license examiner, commercial license examiner and, finally, state trooper.
"Trooper school was one of the hardest things I ever did," Jenkins said. "It was seven months of physical, emotional and mental challenges. But, other than giving birth to my daughter, it's the most satisfying thing I've ever done."
Jenkins said she developed a toughness she didn't know she had as a trooper, but shortly after she started the job a persistent problem developed. She started to fall inexplicably. She had trouble focusing at times, and she randomly experienced episodes of weakness that left her barely able to function.
Finally, she decided to leave her job with GSP and concentrate on a skill she'd learned while watching her mother as a young girl: cosmetology.
"In junior high, I was in this class where I was supposed to learn to play the flute," she says. "But I just wasn't feeling it. So while everyone else was playing their music, I'd bring my mother's lipstick and makeup and put it on myself and all the other girls in the class."
Jenkins started selling Mary Kay products and even advanced to sales director in the company. She married a man who worked with Georgia Pacific, and the couple moved to Kansas City, Mo. One day Jenkins was walking on a downtown street there when she collapsed. She couldn't get up and was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
"I'd gone to doctors when I was having issues before, and they kept saying my problems were stress-related," Jenkins said. "The ER doctor in Kansas City told me I had multiple sclerosis. Even then, in 1999, it was unheard of for an African-American to have MS. It was seen as a white person's disease."
Jenkins and her soon-to-be ex-husband returned to Albany in January of 2000. Ann Roberts cared for her wheelchair-bound daughter and her husband, whose heart disease grew progressively worse. A month later, Sam Roberts died.
"I'd made some progress, had gotten to where I could use a walker," Jenkins said. "But the stress surrounding my father's death sent me back to the wheelchair."
Jenkins visited a local American Legion post one day to handle some of her late father's business, and she saw a portrait of her dad. Since Sam Roberts rarely allowed his photo to be taken, she got the name of the photographer and visited his studio. There she met Adrian Jenkins, and a whirlwind courtship ensued.
A year later the couple married.
"The man I was married to before left when I got sick," Jenkins said. "Adrian would take me to his studio so he could care for me during the day."
One day a 100-year-old matron came into Adrian Jenkins' studio to have a portrait taken for a church program. That visit sparked something in Colette Jenkins.
"The lady's wig was a mess, so I asked if I could fix her up a little," Jenkins said. "I did her hair and put on a little lipstick and blush. When she looked in the mirror, she just beamed and said, 'Is that me?' I was so moved by her reaction, it didn't dawn on me until later that I'd gotten up and walked around to do this lady's makeover.
"I have no doubt that was God working through me."
Jenkins started looking for opportunities to help others, and one day another photographer suggested Janice Route Blaylock contact Jenkins to do her makeup for a photo shoot. The two women hit it off famously, but the next time they met Blaylock had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
"I feel that God chose for our paths to cross," Blaylock said. "Everything just clicked between us. When we sat down and talked for the first time, it felt like we'd known each other forever. It's easy for women to be intimidated by other beautiful women, but I discovered Colette Jenkins is just as beautiful on the inside as she is the outside.
"Colette was one of the people I sent a Christmas update to, and I was humbled to learn later that I was the impetus for her adding breast cancer as part of her Chosen to Conquer program. I feel honored to be associated with her program, and while I can only speak for myself, I believe God was guiding our footsteps."
Jenkins started a program she called Makeup for Life, through which she taught women -- especially those overcoming diseases -- how to properly apply makeup. Finally, she decided to formally develop a nonprofit program that would allow her to help women, like herself, who had MS, women affected by heart disease and women impacted by breast cancer.
And Chosen to Conquer became a reality.
Through the program, Jenkins teaches classes on skin care, hair care, makeup application, nutritional needs, how to prepare nutritious food, fitness and exercise programs, wardrobe do's and don'ts and maintenance classes for all of the skills. Through word of mouth, women impacted by the three diseases are coming to her in an effort to better deal with the aftermath.
"Colette was a customer (at Brooks Furniture in Albany), and we just hit it off," Kathy Beane, an administrator with the local furniture store, said. "In our conversation we discovered that each of us had MS, and she and I started the MS Walk together.
"I've seen people in her program who have been inspired on the health and fitness side, and I've seen her program help women gain strength and courage. Chosen to Conquer has helped them realize they can overcome their diseases."
Jenkins and Chosen to Conquer hold a "Beauty Through the Storm" formal each April for women who have completed the nonprofit's program. They become "conquerors" who spread the word to other women like themselves.
"The one thing I wanted to do is give this opportunity to women at no cost," Jenkins said. "We've gotten support from the community, but we need more to do the things we want to do. We want to expand our program to include men and children, and we want to be able to purchase equipment that allows us to be sensitive to each individual's condition, whether they're in a wheelchair or use a walker or if they have a prosthesis.
"We want to connect more with the medical community so that they can help us connect with each person on a holistic level: the mind, body and spirit."
As for her own malady, Jenkins deals with it every day. She has good days and bad, and she often has to force herself to get out of bed and start her day.
"But you know what?" she says. "When I'm doing something to help someone else, I'm usually not affected at all. When I'm doing what God has chosen me to do, I don't even think about MS."

Analysis: The star center suffered the injury when he twisted the ankle landing on the foot of one of the Suns players. Howard limped back to the locker room and did not return to the game. "I really couldn't put any pressure on it," Howard said after Houston's 113-111 win. "But we got the win, so that's the only thing that matters."

The altercation began with 7:53 left in the first quarter after Garnett fouled Howard. The two exchanged light shoves before Garnett threw the ball into Howard's back.

Hi!

I converted the Stackless SVN repository to Git and published it at Github:
http://github.com/kunley/stackless/tree

Right now it has branches containing released versions 2.4.4, 2.5.2, 2.6.1, 3.0.1. I use it as a convenient way to peek at the code changes -- git is especially brilliant when you want to do it offline; others may find it useful as well. I don't automatically follow the trunk as I don't need it but I can do it if anyone is willing (I can add *-maint branches as well, the commits are already there). If not, I will at least update the repo with subsequent releases.

cheers,

Wojtek

Note: The Kaz Mir Jersey
Yesterday, while leaving Shea Stadium, I saw a guy wearing a Scott Kazmir Mets jersey.
I stopped him and asked if he spent money on it prior to the trade, or after. Naturally, he ordered it online after the trade.
What's interesting, though, is it was sent to him with a space between the Z and M in the last name.
Apparently, he said, the team will not ship out jerseys with No. 19 and the full last name of Kazmir on a Mets jersey.
…from what i can gather, this is their policy for any player who is not on the Mets, and has more to do with the league than the specific team…the thing is, i just can't see how this is enforced…however, in a case like kazmir, which is so obvious, and such a notorious deal, it makes sense that it would be censored…
…i had never heard of such a scenario, and wonder if any other fans have gone through the same situation…

GUELPH—The Guelph Storm somehow came out of the first period up 3-0 Friday night despite being badly outplayed by the Erie Otters and they weren't about to let that good fortune go to waste.
The Storm rode that luck to a 7-2 win over the Otters to go up 2-0 in the best-of-seven Western Conference final before a sold out Sleeman Centre crowd of 4,923.
The series now shifts to Erie for the next two games on Monday and Tuesday.
At one point Guelph was being outshot 13-1 in the first period and over the opening 20 minutes was outshot 16-9. But a power play goal by Scott Kosmachuk, an even strength goal by Kerby Rychel and a dagger-through-the-heart shorthanded goal by Zack Mitchell late in the period had them off to the races.
They led 5-2 after two periods and coasted through the third.
"We've all been around junior hockey long enough to know that you never know what's going to happen. Fortunate or not fortunate, you play what you play and the game was 3-0," Storm coach Scott Walker said.
"We had a slow start and Justin Nichols held us in. We have a real mature team with great leadership and guys know the temperature of the room and the feel of the game. I thought we did a good job of settling down after the first period," Walker said.
Walker said it was "a long way" from Guelph's best game and expects them to be better in Game 3.
Kosmachuk, Rychel and Mitchell all had a pair of goals, Robby Fabbri had the other. Kosmachuk also had a pair of assists.
"It's tough when you come into the opposing building and have the first seven shots on net and you can't score a goal, but that's playoff hockey," said Erie's Brendan Gaunce.
The Otters decided to switch goalies in Game 2, as Oscar Dansk took over from Game 1 starter Devin Williams.
Dansk showed the rust of not having seen any game action in over three weeks, giving up all seven goals on 30 shots. Four of the goals were high glove side.
"They were all good shots. We didn't really have a game plan to shoot high," said Storm sniper Mitchell. "Kosmachuk and Rychel are two of the best shooters in the league and when good shooters get a chance they put them in the net."
Erie coach Kris Knoblauch said he has faith in both his goaltenders and that he made the switch because Williams was tired.
"Devin needed rest," Knoblauch said. "We've gone with a two goalie system all season long and it's worked very well for us."
There was no tipping the hand as to who would start Game 3.
"For the first 40 minutes we played the way we wanted to play and for the last 20 we were just cheating on offence," Knoblauch said in summarizing Friday's game.
"We're finding out why we're playing the regular season champions right now and how good they are."
The struggling Storm penalty killing also picked up its socks, blanking Erie on all five of its power plays.
Brock McGinn also made his return to the Storm lineup Friday, playing on the third line with Ryan Horvat and Justin Auger. He was held pointless.

Couples doing stationary dances, like West Coast Swing, Cha Cha, Nightclub, freestyle (not dancing as a couple) etc., should be toward the middle of the dance floor, so couples doing progressive dances like Waltz, Two-Step, Polka, etc., can move around the outside.
Guys should wear dance shoes when possible. The soft suede soles of the dance shoes only hurt the girls a tolerable amount when feet end up in the wrong place. I know a girl who loses about one toenail a year because of dancing with cowboys who wear boots when they dance. Unable to take the pain anymore, she often wears boots now to protect her toes… even though she hates the way boots look on the dance floor.
Don't bring drinks onto the dance floor. Drinks, especially the syrupy ones, can do permanent damage to the bottom of dance shoes. Yes, the dance shoes the ladies wear have suede soles also.
Guys; when asking a lady to dance, be specific about the dance or dances you have in mind. "Would you like to do an East Coast Swing?" gives the ladies a heads-up as to what your intentions are. The vast majority of ladies really hate it when they get onto the dance floor with no idea what direction or count to start with. If a lady doesn't know how to do the particular dance, it is very awkward for her to do anything about it once they are on the dance floor.
I recommend you don't sing along with the music while you dance. While it's true that you are mentally giving your dance partner distance so they can concentrate on the dance, it is also distracting. And, to the dance partner, it seems like you are in your own world, and would rather not be with the person you are dancing with. I bet it would be fun if both dancers sing, though.
Even though dancing is technically considered a contact sport… guys, don't purposely run your partner into other dancers, even if the other dancers seem inconsiderate. Crashes happen on crowded dance floors. Very few ladies don't mind crashes. The ladies have little control over where they are located (other than where the dance starts… more on that in a minute). It's likely the other guy isn't a good enough dancer do know what he is doing. Remember how hard it was for you to learn how to dance… let it slide… be patient. If the other guy seems to be a proficient dancer, but he's still out of control, a gentle statement should be made. Give him a light bump, crowd him for two seconds, and then move away. Don't create a conflict, just wake him up, and remind him that he only deserves ¼ or so of the dance floor.
Traditional etiquette specifies that the men should lead the ladies onto the dance floor. Sometimes the path to the dance floor is treacherous because of thick crowds, blinding lights, broken glass, steps, puddles, and drunks passed out on the floor. I've been letting the ladies lead the way to dance floor for two reasons. Women can cut a path through a crowd more efficiently than a man can, creating a wedge that helps get the guy get through. And, it's easier for a six foot guy to see over and around a five foot lady than vice versa, so, it's safer. The problem is that when the couples get to the dance floor, the ladies often step right into the dance patterns of other dancers because the ladies are not accustomed to instantly recognizing what dances are happening, or predicting the patterns, because the men are responsible for knowing where the dancers are going.
Featured comment:
My name is Lily and in my spare time I teach basic dance classes for students of all ages at my community center. I would like to thank you for providing such wonderful information on your page – http://davidduane.com/dance/dance-information-and-links/ – I have been referring to it as I put together some new guides and materials for my students, and some of the resources you provided have helped a bunch!!
I also wanted to share with you this great page all about ballet history and techniques that my assistant, Cammy, found :
A Guide to Ballet Theater
It would be great if you could include this on your page! Our classes have found it to be very helpful in learning a lot about ballet and we think your visitors will find it useful too :-).
Thank you Lilly. Several of the social dancers have taken ballet, and, it shows. They learn faster, and they look better. I can always tell when I step up to somebody who has taken ballet because their posture is exactly what a dancers posture is supposed to be like. And, the ballet dancers keep the posture even when difficult situations arise on the dance floor. I love dancing with people who have learned ballet. Surprisingly (to me, anyway), the skills of ballet translate even to the country dances. David Duane

I'm using DLP 11.1 Endpoint prevent. I would like to know if DLP can prevent data transfer via SD card while the laptop is off the network. And what exactly are the configurations that needs to be done at the enforce server to prevent data transfer via SD card.
Comments 7 Comments • Jump to latest comment
yes, You can do the same. But what exactly you wanted to achieve. You completely wanted to block any data transfer to SD card or only SD card Since you can do it by disable by endpoint Protection policy setting .
If you wanted to block only confidenhtail data than you should add class ID of that SD card devices. you should also take help of DLP application monitoring and control feature.
In short the services which helps to copy any data tranfer throgh some device driveres for medium bluetooth, wifi,usb,SD card can be blocked.
@ vstanley : Possibly, the data which was transferred to the SD card was protected under an IDM policy.
Endpoint Prevent cannot prevent the transfer of sensitive data under IDM Policy because it takes time for the DLP to match the sent data with the IDM Profile. However, the Admin or the concerned authorities will be notified with an Incident.

MASSENA - A Massena man was sent back to the county correctional facility after a village justice ruled enough evidence had been presented at a preliminary hearing to have his felony grand larceny charges sent up for superior court action.
Village police had charged Edward J. Slade, 21, of 446 state Route 131, Massena, with fourth-degree grand larceny June 19 following an investigation into an incident that took place earlier in the day.
Police allege Slade had entered the James Pratt residence at 103 North Main St. at approximately 8:30 a.m. that day and stolen $3,000.
Mr. Pratt testified when he woke up that morning he swept the bottom of his stairs and his sidewalk and then took a shower. Its my routine. Ive got OCD, he said under questioning from St. Lawrence County Assistant District Attorney Andrew Botts.
He said a short time later Slade knocked on his door and started shouting he needed to use his bathroom. He said, Its Eddie, its Eddie, its Eddie. Let me in. Let me in. I need to use your bathroom, Mr. Pratt recalled.
He said Slade entered his apartment and immediately went to the bathroom. Mr. Pratt said he went back into his bathroom immediately after Slade walked out of the room.
Mr. Pratt said when he came back out of the bathroom moments later he discovered $3,000 he had left on his kitchen table was missing. He said he knew the amount of the currency because he counted it every day. He said the table was located near the bathroom.
When I come out, hes gone and the money is gone. I was in the bathroom when he took off. He was hopping down the stairs like a jackrabbit, he testified.
Mr. Pratt, in the statement he had provided police, said he had actually seen the money in Slades hands. I had left $3,000 on the table in the kitchen. I had it out counting it. When I came out of the bathroom, he was running out of the apartment. He had my money in his hand, Mr. Pratt told police.
The Massena man, in his statement, said he had chased Slade toward the community center, and he lost him as Slade was running around the community center.
The money was $2,900 in $20 bills and two $50 bills. This was my money I was saving to buy a car, he noted in his statement.
Mr. Pratt had initiated the investigation into the larceny when he was being arraigned in Massena court on criminal mischief and criminal trespass counts after he allegedly damaged a door at 69 Beach St. when he went looking for Slade and the money.
St. Lawrence County Assistant Public Defender Alison Appleby had focused on various inconsistencies in Mr. Pratts recollection of the event. She suggested at one point he had testified he hadnt seen Slade leave his apartment and then in his statement he had suggested he had seen Slade run out of the apartment with the money in his hand.
I seen him take the money off the table and take off. I was running after him, he countered under cross examination.
Ms. Appleby also questioned the source of Mr. Pratts income. He testified he receives a monthly SSI check for $761, gets $200 a month in food stamps and HEAP pays his heating bills. He said his mother handles the HEAP payments for him, and his monthly rent is $425.
He said he has been able to set aside money over the past two years while he has been collecting SSI. But he acknowedged he could not provide any evidence - receipts or paperwork - proving that $3,000 had been on the table. I count it every day, he reiterated.
Massena Village Police Ptl. Mark LaBrake testified he had interviewed Slade about the larceny complaint, and the Massena man had claimed he had not stolen any money. He said he had stolen a small bag of marijuana as payment for a debt Mr. Pratt owed him.
The village patrolman said he had searched two items where Slade told him he had hidden the item he took from Mr. Pratts apartment. He stated he hid it under a rock in the falls/dam area (off the Center Street extension).
Ms. Appleby, in her closing argument, said Mr. Pratt had provided conflicting testimony about what he actually saw and seemed extremely nervous when he was testifying. She also questioned how Mr. Pratt could save $3,000 living solely on SSI payments.
Mr. Botts countered the testimony at the preliminary hearing proved Slade was in Mr. Pratts apartment that morning and had access to the money on the table.
Massena Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson ruled enough evidence had been presented to hold the case over for superior court action. He pointed out, however, the standard of proof at a preliminary hearing is much lower than the standard at trial. You should be grateful the standard of proof at this hearing is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt, he told Mr. Botts.
The village justice sent Slade back to the county correctional facility but reduced his bail from $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond to $1,000 cash or bond.
Slade urged the court to release him from custody, noting he would be willing to go the probation department daily for drug testing. Im not a threat to society. I have nothing in common with anybody in there (jail), he suggested.
Mr. Gustafson countered he had reviewed Slades criminal history before setting bail. Its not good. My problem is you seem to be in the process of becoming a one-man crime spree. Im concerned you are going to hurt yourself or someone else, he said.
But the court, at the request of defense counsel, said he would direct the probation department to have Slade evaluated to determine if he needed alcohol or substance abuse treatment.
