I am dealing with the same thing with both of my boys (ages 4 and 7). My oldest was beginning to potty train when his brother was born but regressed so I backed off for a while. Now Im trying to potty train my youngest and the oldest is still having accidents almost every day. Lately, I will be changing the youngest and right after the oldest will tell me that he went in his pants. It's like a cycle. I feel like if I can get one of them to use the potty, the other will follow.posted 11/28/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
Your son has encopresis which my 4 year old had. It happens when they hold there poop. I had very very good luck with soiling solutions at soiling solution.com. Good luck!posted 03/24/2011 by nikirose
I helped potty train my godson and it was very hard. We tried for months before we found something that work in days. We took him to the store and let him pick out what ever toy he wanted. Its very important to not let him touch it though. Once he picked one out we explained how he would only get this toy once he peed and pooped in the potty like a big boy. When we got home we placed the toy out of his reach, but in plain sight for him. It took no time at all once he realized he wasnt getting the toy til he pottied like a big boy. (We learned this from Super Nanny JoJo) It worked very well for us and we tried everything. Good luck!posted 09/29/2010 by bms_04

In: Reviews by Chris "FighterAce100" Salazar15 Nov 2010
PAX Prime 2010 exposed to me to some games I would not have played on my own if I had not tried them out first. Vanquish was definitely one of those games.
It's very different from your typical third-person shooter — hell, any regular shooter, even — but it still enticed me to play it. Its unique cover-based gameplay style and the insane chaos that comes in the midst of fighting are nothing short of awesome. This is adrenaline all bundled up and put into a disk for consumption. Buckle up; this game is a hardcore ride that will leave you wanting more until the final act.
The story behind Vanquish is that Russia and the USA are in a severe economic depression. The world is over populated and polluted, and Earth's natural resources are running out. Through technological research and advancements the US is able to build a ginormous space station named Providence in orbit above the Earth. We're talking Star Trek's Deep Space Ninte would be dwarfed by this thing. It can sustain millions inside it. I would venture to compare it to The Citadel from the Mass Effect games.
This space station also has a strategic military value attached (You didn't think this huge piece of metal in orbit would be civilian only use did you?). A microwave emitter built into the station is used by the Russians (after a takeover that happened without anyone knowing about it) and literally nukes San Francisco into a molten cement heap. This leads us to our main character and storyline following Sam Gideon, a Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency special agent working for the US government who is sent in, with help from the Marine Corps, to infiltrate and remove the Russians from the station.
Game on!
If you liked any of the Gears of War games or are looking for a new breed of chaos like you get from Big Team Battle in Halo: Reach, this game is made for you. There are constant bullets, rockets, missiles, lasers, and grenades exploding and cutting things to shreds. Cover is everything in this game, and how fast you can react to a situation under fire adds tons of pressure for getting those quick kills and insane animations. The enemy has seemingly unlimited amounts of ammo at hand and they kill Marines like Grunts fresh off the drop ships in Halo. It's up to you to show these Russians who's the most badass soldier out there.
Your suit is what makes the game a reality. Similar to what a Spartan would have in the Halo franchise, this suit sports built-in rockets, ammo storage, and a weapons device. A clever rocket-induced sliding and slow-motion reaction system helps as you speed across maps to new cover positions. As you slide, you can blind-fire any of the three weapons you have currently equipped or go into a slow-motion, jaw dropping, ass-kicking animation that lets you annihilate anyone who gets in your way with headshot precision. Yes, the picture on the front cover of the game looks corny, but it's totally bad-ass in the game. Try the heavy machine gun switch to a rocket launcher while you're doing this; it has spectacular explosive results!
The weapon choices are few but work well throughout the playthrough. Sam's suit can have three different types of weapons at any given time, each having its own uses and upgrades. Upgrades usually occur by maxing out the amount of ammo you can carry for it and then slowly increases the capacity, damage, or range of the particular gun. There are nine total weapons to choose from, ranging from an assault rifle to a lock on rocket launcher. The animations of switching weapons never gets old either, as they instantly "transform" from one gun to the next as you select them. Weapons can also be upgraded by picking up green floating cubes from destroyed enemies.
The game is broken into five acts with multiple missions in each act. Checkpoints are located throughout the levels and save your progress on the spot. Plan on reaching these quickly if you want to keep a certain upgrade or if you are low on health. If you happen to die, the upgrades are lost and each ammo crate that you had previously opened may not offer you the same weapon or ammo you received before you died.
There are tons of bosses and tough enemies to fight, but each has a specific weakness, usually seen by a bright red spot on them their bodies. If you don't see that spot, you can always just shoot away their armor and weapons, then beat them down the ol' fashioned way. Melee attacks are awesome and these animations depend on which weapon you have selected. They do an insane amount of damage to the target. The only downside is they overload or overheat your suit and you have to wait through a cool-down period before you can do another melee strike or start sliding around.
It took me about five hours to play through the entire game on normal difficulty. The game somehow makes it seem like every battle takes a good hour to play while you pummel some Russian tech. The battles increase in difficulty as you progress, so you never seem to get bored. The environments change as well, from urban subways to reactor cores. Seriously, this game is a total blast, hindered only by its really corny voice acting and humor. Did I mention that you can light up a cigarette in combat, smoke it, then toss it to distract the Russians? It's totally unnecessary but it's fun to do it because it's so random (and is pretty effective at getting their attention).
Intense battles, a crazy storyline, tons of chaos and you can light up as you pull the pin to a grenade. This game has it all and it's a ton of fun to play. I'm picky as hell with any of the games I buy; this one has a nice spot waiting for it between Gears of War and Halo.

Excellent review. I really liked this game from start to finish its pretty crazy. I love the cover system and the speed of the game is just nuts. The boss fights are awesome they certainly do take a while to kill but they look amazing. I really hope there will be a second. Watch for the end credits thats a laugh too

Thanks Society! Yeah the end credits are a "blast!" haha The game is fun all the way through the credits. I think its a awesome buy for someone who just wants to shoot up some robots instead of zombies or get too technical into a game like CoD or Battlefield. Hell, I'm still playing the game after I beat it. Time to challenge myself on a harder difficulty. Rack up those points!

Dehydrated Nopal Powder (Opuntia Ficus Indica):
Nopal Powder (Polvo de Nopal) is derived 100% from young prickly pear cactus leaf pads. (These are the green nopal pads that prickly pear fruit grow on.) Many consumers report they like the powder flavor of these younger leaf pads more than the powder of the older, large cactus pads sold by others.
Prior to the dehydration and milling of the green pads, they are referred to as "nopalitos." These flat, green leaf pads of the prickly pear cactus have been consumed by native American people for centuries as a food and medicinal source of nutrients. Mexicans have a long tradition of eating "nopalitos" as vegetables once their spines are removed and the tough skin is peeled off.
In it's dehydrated powder form, our young nopal pads provide a great nutritional addition to smoothies, juices, omelets, soups and salads. The pads contain vitamins, protein and minerals, including potassium. Research indicates Nopal cactus powder provides a nutritional support for inflammation, hyperglycemia, cholesterol, obesity, atherosclerosis, gastrointestinal disorders, and more. One well known medical doctor suggests Nopal to support blood glucose levels for diabetics.
Recommended dosage: 1 Tablespoons daily.
Servings per container: 44 Tablespoons or Dosages (Or 22 if you take 2 Tablespoons daily).
This is a better value than the Nopal capsules being sold in bottles because you get more for your money.

The jobs and missions already provide a ton to do but the open world is where you'll really get lost. The world Rockstar has created is jaw-droppingly detailed in every way. As a recreation of Los Angeles, I'm told it is fantastic and I believe it because this is a game that embraces depth. That you can get in a car and drive from downtown Los Santos, to the ocean jet skis, to the pier rollercoaster, to the offroad buggies, to military base with its highly guarded attack helicopter, only to end the day at the peak of Mount Chiliad for sunset is astounding. Every step of the way, tiny details just shimmer. Maybe you just want to tow some cars or go scuba diving and explore undersea wrecks. Maybe you want to eavesdrop on a pedestrian's conversation and antagonize them into calling the police. Or maybe you just want to appreciate the little touches like the stellar texture work, and excellent sound design. Afterwards, you can lob a grenade and turn the whole serene experience into a five star car chase.
The community in this world is... well, it's developing. If you're playing online outside of a crew, expect to get harassed by players who just want to kill you. It can be frustrating but the "bad apples" are progressively being filtered into their own servers. For a small in-game fee, you can also enable passive mode which prevents you from using your weapons but also prevents other players from attacking you. It's a happy medium and can save some early-game frustration.
That said, some of the best moments in Online come from these unscripted encounters. Punching a player off of a roof. Hopping in a robbers getaway car and going train chasing. Robbing a bank only to find out that your partner intends to stiff you of your share. What do you do then other than kill him? One of my favorite things to do (since it was done to me) is to shoot out players' tires before they finish robbing a store and watch them slide down the road to get nailed by police while I giggle.
Grand Theft Auto: Online isn't an MMO but it is one heck of an online game. There is enough here to keep players entertained for hours on end and a whole lot of it pushes at the very things MMO players love: progression, cooperation, competition, and open world freedom. As a free pack in to Grand Theft Auto V, it seems likely that the game will eventually be available as a standalone client on PC. Just please, for the love of all things holy, don't play this game around your kids. It's more than a little sweary and the ladies of the night double as narrators. You've been warned.

You should have posted your computer type...
Standard Practice when looking for slowness issues:•• Backup Your things if you care about them. As a computer owner this is all on you •••
1) (For mechanical hard drives) Check to see if your hard drive is failing. You will need to use the Console application located in your Utilities folder. You will need to check your kernel.log file to see if you have any disk0 I/O errors. This is how your computer indicates a hard drive failure.
---> 10.5.x: There is no kernel.log file. Instead you'll be checking your system.log file
---> 10.6.x: You have a kernel.log file. Look in the /var/logs/ section of Console for your kernel.log file
---> 10.7.x: You can see your kernel.log file next to your system.log file
---> 10.8.x: There is no kernel.log file. Instead you'll be checking your system.log file
2) If your drive does not appear to be failing, then you should check to see if there is anything that is using up your resources. Use Activity Monitor (from Utilities folder) and view all processes by their CPU usage. If nothing looks out of place (i.e. *process x* is using over 80% of my CPU...), then move on to the next step.
3) Verify that your file system isn't malformed. For this you will use Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. In the first aid tab, choose Verify Volume. DO NOT RUN REPAIR PERMISSIONS. They don't do anything important. WAIST OF TIME. People who think that they are important to repair (often) obviously don't know anything about how the system works. Your file system is way more important.
for more info on your file system repair look here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1782
• Permissions show who should be able to open/modify/execute a file
• Your file system is what keeps track of WHERE a file is. If you can't find it then who cares about the permissions.
3.1) You can attempt to repair any file system issue from your Recovery Partition:
4) If all of those look ok, then you can try getting rid of your cache files in your user account.
This article mentions the trick to show the user library folder: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10941
Essentailly you hold down the 'option' key when you are looking at the Finder's Go menu drop down list.
• Open the Library folder (This is the user account library folder. NOT the root level library folder)
4.1) Open the Cache folder. Delete everything in this Cache folder and then log out. You don't have to empty your trash. Just delete it (command delete, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343)
5) If None of this has worked you could try reinstalling the OS, however you might have also missed a more subtle issue that was in your log files. This might include graphics card failures or other components that are failing. A reinstall (without restoring from a backup, however restoring your user account only is a second best) is a great way to rule out Software VS Hardware.
• Take it to your local apple store if this does not work

Yeah, the apple store will probably charge you for reinstalling the system, and in a few days you will have the same slow performance. At least this is what happens with Mountain Lion.
I have done ALL the procedures, including the last resort of taking the machine to service.
I am going back to Snow Leopard.

Thanks, Missed_call, i've just found that my disc needed repair and did it. Now, let's see if it gets slow again.
In time, it's a MacBookPro running everithing at last level. It's used to get a little solw whenever a Microsoft Office is running and that's why I'm using Mail instead Outlook. but recently (2 weeks) it started to slow sometimes and crash windows. It returned to normal after a re-boot (a shame for a MAC!!). thanks again, Eduardo

AGAIN: 3 hours and it got uncontrollabel by the mouse or touch pad. Meanwhile, huge amount of recently email messages desappeared completely. I checked and the HD is corroded again.
Is this a Mountain Lion software problem or a Macintosh HD faliure?
MacBook Pro tatally updated, protected by McAfee.
I'm going to back up and repair again, but I cannot afford loosing information like this. Can going back to Lion be a interim solution?
missed_call Dec 7, 2012 11:13 AM
in response to edudrey
I'm sorry to hear that edudrey. It sounded like it was going well up until then.
I have some questions about the issue. When you use the word 'corroded' what do you mean. Is your file system corrupted? Is the behavior of the computer just not right? Or is it something else?
•• For a continually corrupting file system ••
- ALWAYS check your kernel.log (Now just system.log in 10.8) for "disk I/O" errors by using in the Console utility (Macintosh HD -> Applications ->Utilities -> Console).
Any disk I/O errors (except a single very rare case) indicates a failing hard drive. The hard drive will need to be replaced. No software fixes here.
••••• IF there are no disk I/O errors then continue to this section •••••
For file corruption:
• File corruption can be caused by failing RAM and turing off the computer without properly shutting it down. If you have to forcefully reboot your computer then you are increasing the odds of this type of corruption - which leads to having to force reboot your computer...
Run Your Apple Hardware Test to check your RAM, logic board, and some other EFI based tests (does not test graphics cards).
AHT (apple hardware test) instructions do not mention the looping mode. The test will run and if it finds a problem it will put a RED error code on the screen. Write this error code down. However the test can only identify problems that it is able to experience during the test. It just isn't possible to find problems that happen intermittently with such a short test. Looping allows the test to run again if no trouble is found. This increases your odds of finding intermittent issues. It's like betting on multiple positions of a roulette wheel.
---------> Enable Looping: At your test screen hit 'control L'. (control like a windows shortcut, not the apple command key). You will see "looping enabled" appear. Hit start and go to bed. Check it in the morning.
• File corruption can also be from a bad hard drive although this is less common. If you are under warranty I would call in just to get the issue recorded. They will waste your time with resetting nvram and the other stuff which does not apply to your issues, BUT they can record the issue into your case history. When you make it to a genius bar (at an actual Apple owned store - not your local apple authorized dealer), they can check your history and make an better diagnosis from those notes.
Please do describe the specifics of what you are seeing (corrupted file system, freezing, etc). The symptoms are important.

FALSE - Apple doesn't need your $40. The genius bar is free for software support.
AASP(apple authorized service providers) - Don't have the genius bar. Apple authorized resellers are not owned by the Apple corporation but they tend to be very skilled. They often have very good quality work because they have to get it right the first time. However they do charge for their time and service.
I've had them install operating systems for me at the bar and all they wanted was for me to keep an eye on it. The lady told me that as long as she is able to work with the next person in line then it would be ok.

So here goes more information:
1 - Yes, corrupted files is the correct word.
2 - And I have tried to re-start the computer with everithing disabled and check the HD: OK, GREEN.
3 - Then I start opening item by item and found that when MAIL is OPEN, the HD is reported RED, incorrect amount of exteded atributes.
4 - Closing MAIL, it reports GREEN again.
So, probably is the MAIL that crashes.
5 - As additional information, I run MS Office for MAC, but the MAIL presented the problem even before I check the PPt and Excel.
So it seems to be software.
Any clues?
Tahnl you,

After the intial debug, I guess the problem is more likely to relates o Mountain Lion issues, So I posted the same question in another thread that seems to be more correlated to my problem.
thanks folks and misse_call for your kind support,
missed_call Dec 10, 2012 8:00 PM
in response to edudrey
I doubt it's a 10.8 thing. I've personally dealt with hundreds of installs of 10.8 and I've never seen this behavior before. Corrupted file systems are somewhat common to Apple's HFS+ system. Sort of the Achilles' heel of the platform. We woud have been past this if Apple actually implemented zfs or another file system, but that's for anotehr time I guess.
The Extended Attributes on the files could be from mail updating its files. Once those changes are saved to the file system they should be permenant until changed, given that it is written to the drive. So my only thoughts would be that mail is writting attributes and the changes are not being applied correctly.
• Still trying to isolate hardware vs software. We know that the corrupted file system is a symptom but it should not be corrupting that soon.
-- Possible Causes--
1) Bad Hard Drive - Unable to record the data correctly but not throwing disk I/O errors
2) Mail application - The mail application is inherriting a problem from the user mail folder and this is causing it to not flushing files to the filesystem correctly
3) Other hardware - bad RAM (unlikely but still possible, however I would expect more random behavior), possibly something else. Run the hardware test for 4 loops and see if anything comes of it.
Triage Mail issue first:
• Turn on the Guest user in your System Preferences and configure the Mail program exactly the same way yours is. See if you can recreate the behavior in that account. This should only take 5-10 mins to setup. The rest is downloading the mail contents.
Last thing if it is not hardware and the software continues to be wonky --> At some point you might want to reinstall the OS but you'll need to backup first. I would perform and erase and install. After that manually add back the user and then reinstall the apps.
edudrey Dec 11, 2012 4:40 AM
in response to missed_call
Hi, missed_call, I'll do that, I mean the Mail issue triage. I personally believe that is a mail issue inherited from Outlook.
(While I used Outlook I had a problem with the daemon files and had to rebuilt the identity and it was when the Newton Disc (the colored disc) problems got worse and worse. When moved back to MAIL, I lost a lot of e-mail files and in fact Mail has never operated accordingly, presenting many issues).
I'll go this way and find an external way to back up (this is my only MAC and I live on a small city whereI doubt I'll find a Time Capsule to buy at once.
Thanks again,
edudrey Dec 11, 2012 11:43 AM
in response to edudrey
It's true: when logged on through the Guest User - a totally clean user never used before - I could open and use MAIL and after some e-mails, I tried to verify the HD and it returned GREEN.
So it seems related to MAIL capability to adequately write the files in my regular user.
Wich is the next step? Is it possible to uninstal and reinstal MAIL only or the data base is definitely corrupted?
in this case, I guess the procedure starts backing everything up on an external HD through Time Machine. And then what? I'm not used to such procedures like manually ad the user, will I need to set everything up in my user again? Is it needed a system disc or else to run the erasing? Is it safe? Is there a detailed informaiton so I can follow? The new installation will be completely from internet?
Yes, sorry, too many questions, but you are really helping.
missed_call Dec 11, 2012 12:50 PM
in response to edudrey
A simple attempt could be to rename your user's Mail folder and then relaunch mail. This will force mail to essentially create fresh copies from the server, much like what the guest user did.
- Manually Rebuilding Apple Mail -
(Mail should NOT be running)
1) open the Users Library folder:
• In the Finder, click on the "Go" menu and choose "Go to Folder..."
• type "~/Library", without the quotes into the Field
2) Either move the folder called Mail and the folder Mail Downloads out of the library (like to a folder on the desktop), or just change the name.
• example: Mail -> Mail_original
3) launch the Mail program.

Falcons face tough task at district baseball tourney
Saturday, May 14, 2011
Entering the district tournament with two-state ranked teams staring down at you could make some teams change their plan of attack.
That's not the case for the Blair Oaks Falcons.
"What we always tell our guys is that if we play to our strength and play our game, then that's what we're concerned about," Blair Oaks coach Harv Antle.
The third-seeded Falcons kick off the second season at 5:30 p.m. today against sixth-seeded Owensville in the first round of the Class 3 District 8 Tournament at the Falcon Athletic Complex.
It could be a tall task for the Falcons (13-7) to win their first district title since 2007, as they'll go against several top-level teams. Top-seeded St. Francis Borgia (19-4) is ranked second in the latest Class 3 poll from the Missouri High School Baseball Coaches Association, while second-seeded North Callaway (17-4) is ranked sixth.

Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Campus Union Florida State crushes Duke in ACC title game, sets sights on BCS championship by Martin Rickman Twitter Email Posted: Sat Dec. 7, 2013 Devonta Freeman (8) ran for 91 yards and a touchdown in Florida State's rout of Duke. (Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)People can debate the strength of Florida State's schedule all the want, but there's no disputing the fact that the Seminoles have crushed everything in their path this season like some kind of giant Japanese movie monster. On Saturday night, Duke found itself in Kaiju's path of destruction in the ACC championship game. Florida State overcame a relatively slow start and never looked back, winning 45-7 in impressive fashion.It didn't seem as if the tumult surrounding Seminoles quarterback Jameis Winston -- between Heisman talk and the announcement last Thursday that he wouldn't be charged in a sexual assault investigation -- had any effect on him against the Blue Devils.Duke delivered some hard hits and showed some good schemes, and coach David Cutcliffe's game plan worked early on. But Florida State's physical dominance eventually took over the game. Winston wasn't perfect -- he threw two interceptions -- but he still completed 19-of-32 passes for 330 yards and three touchdowns. Winston has thrown for 300 or more yards in seven games, and Saturday marked the eighth time this season that he has thrown for at least three scores.The freshman all but locked the Heisman Trophy with his performance in this game. Winston and the Seminoles work seamlessly together. The sheer volume of NFL-caliber players on both sides of the ball gives him the confidence to play aggressively, and when he's on his game it allows every Florida State player -- the linemen, the skill players, the defensive players -- to take chances as well.ELLIS: Auburn outlasts Missouri to win SEC title, complete remarkable turnaroundSeminoles defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt has also helped the team's overall aggressiveness. Replacing Mark Stoops, Pruitt came from Alabama and his philosophy was to get Florida State back to basics. The Seminoles are so athletic, so strong, so physical and so fast that they sometimes don't need to think to make plays. They just need to act and let their instincts take over. That's led to a bushel of turnovers and sparkling performances throughout the season.Florida State entered the game against the Blue Devils ranked first in the country in scoring defense (11.0 points per game), and was also first in defensive S&P+ on Football Outsiders. Beatdown after beatdown resonated all over the country, including with the school administration in Tallahassee. Coach Jimbo Fisher is reportedly getting a hefty pay raise next week, and he deserves it.For Duke, this shouldn't be a bittersweet ending. The Blue Devils ran into a remorseless scoring machine on Saturday, and their blowout loss shouldn't diminish the year they've had. Duke's 10 wins were the most in school history, and the Blue Devils will also be playing in back-to-back bowls for the first time in their history.RICKMAN: Baylor downs Texas to secure first-ever Big 12 title, BCS bowl berthCutcliffe has a vision for where Duke is supposed to be, and he's right on track. The Blue Devils might never have a season like the one the Seminoles are having right now, but that's okay.Florida State has earned its shot at the BCS title, and now we know who they'll probably be facing. Auburn looked impressive in its win over Missouri in the SEC championship. Everyone and anyone associated with that conference had already prepared a statement about why the Tigers deserved to play in the national title game, but they won't need it. Ohio State lost to Michigan State in the Big Ten Championship Game, and Auburn is all but assured to be No. 2 when the final BCS numbers are released. The team of destiny vs. the destroyer of worlds. A fitting end to the BCS era. Comments

Heavy rain in areas burned by wildfires in northern Colorado has led to flash flooding, and a mudslide has closed both directions of Interstate 70 at Palisade in western Colorado.
The National Weather Service says more than 1.5 inches of rain fell in the northern Colorado burn areas Thursday. The rain pushed mud and rocks onto parts of Highway 14. Crews quickly cleared debris to reopen the road.
Meanwhile, Wellington fire officials say a lightning strike caught nine farm workers, injuring two critically and four seriously.
In western Colorado, in addition to the slide on I-70, a mudslide closed U.S. 24 two miles east of Minturn. Mudslides also were reported in the Marble and Redstone areas. The National Weather Service estimates some parts of western Colorado got two inches of rain.

Groundhog charcuterie
You might think you know where this whole charcuterie trend came from.
The farm-to-table movement got more chefs buying directly from farmers, which often meant buying whole animals. That left chefs with lots of leftover animal parts. And voila, house-made sausage, pate, bacon, etc.
That's the way it happened for lots of chefs.
But Winston Blick of Clementine got a head start on waste-not-want-not culinary mantra.
It all began when he shot a groundhog.
Blick, who grew up hunting, was just a kid visiting his great aunt's farm when he took down the critter.
"I shot a groundhog and wasn't supposed to and guess what I had to eat for three days?" he said. "It was horrible. It was greasy. It was like a really big rat."
He said the "charcuterie movement," though far more palatable than his groundhog meals, is about the same thing: "Trying to educate people about what they eat and get them to eat all of it."
Bill Murray considers a future in charcuterie in "Groundhog Day." Columbia Pictures

Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the sale of BioClinica, Inc. ("BioClinica") (Nasdaq: BIOC) to a holding company controlled by JLL Partners, Inc. for shareholders. Under the terms of the proposed deal with an equity value of approximately $123 million, BioClinica shareholders will be entitled to receive only $7.25 in cash for each share of BIOC stock owned, well below at least one analyst's estimated value of $9.00.
If you are an affected investor, and you want to learn more about the lawsuit or join the action, please contact Willie Briscoe at The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, (214) 239-4568, via email at email@example.com or Zach Groover at Powers Taylor, LLP, toll free (877) 728-9607, via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. There is no cost or fee to you.
The BioClinica sale investigation centers on whether BioClinica's shareholders are receiving adequate compensation for their shares in the buyout, whether the transaction undervalues BioClinica's stock, and whether BioClinica's board attempted to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders prior to agreeing to the deal. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance estimates that the true inherent value of BioClinica could be as high as $9.00 per share. According to shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe, "due to the proposed sale price, the size of the deal and other factors, we believe this transaction may undervalue BioClinica's stock. Our proposed lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders."
The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC is a full service business litigation and shareholder rights advocacy firm with more than 20 years of experience in complex litigation and transactional matters.
Powers Taylor, LLP is a boutique litigation law firm that handles a variety of complex business litigation matters, including claims of investor and stockholder fraud, shareholder oppression, shareholder derivative suits, and security class actions.

Jerry MEYER, Horse Trainer 1927-2005
Hall of fame trainer had a photographic memory for horses and a soft spot for people down on their luck. He longed to be a jockey and instead ended up with a stable full of champions
By Beverly SMITH, Monday, August 1, 2005, Page S9
They don't make them like Jerry MEYER any more. The Hall of Fame thoroughbred horse trainer was indisputably an original. J.C., as they called him, was one of the old-school horse trainers, consumed by the sport more than by the business, with plenty of room in his heart for a fellow hardboot.
J.C. MEYER had a memory for horses that astonished his peers. He'd see a yearling once at a sale and years later would recognize it, like a familiar face. He knew all the pedigrees and racing records not only of his own horses, but those of every other trainer. "He had a photographic memory," said one of his closest Friends, Lou CAVALARIS, also a member of the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame. "It would take me five or six days to recognize a [new] horse I had."
Almost everything Mr. MEYER needed to know was inside his head. His mind was like an efficient computer, with some lively quirks, that was occasionally supplemented by a plastic shopping bag he toted everywhere. The bag was full of everything that wasn't contained in his brain yet still mattered: racing forms and programs, a notebook or two, this and that.
Jerry MEYER grew up in southwestern Ontario and, although most of his Friends and relatives don't know it, he was a ski champion at the Chicopee Ski Club near Kitchener, Ontario. "He must have done that before he was 14," Mr. CAVALARIS said. "I don't know how he would have fit it in." When he was in his teens, young Jerry used to hang around a stable on the outskirts of Kitchener and the racing-crazy Chris family "took him in like he was a little orphan guy," although he came from a fine, honest family of his own, said Helen CHRIS, mother of Woodbine racetrack veterinarian John CHRIS. "He was a handyman around the barn," she recalled. "He lived there practically. He was a wonderful exercise boy and he wanted to be a rider, but he got too big."
He won only one race as a jockey, with a horse called Hay Tip at Dufferin Park in Toronto, then became a trainer at age 20 in 1949. His accomplishments were legion. He was leading trainer in Canada in 1964, 1966, and 1969. The 152 winners that he saddled in 1969 placed him fourth among trainers in North America.
Over a span of five decades, Mr. MEYER won more than 2,500 races, more than 100 stakes races, and his horses won more than $19-million in purses. He was one of the first trainers to have a stable as large as 50 or 60 horses, all farmed out at two or three track locations all over North America, much like D. Wayne Lukas or Bobby Frankel today. It was not uncommon for Mr. MEYER to train a stable at Aqueduct in New York, jump in his jalopy, train a few more at The Meadowlands in New Jersey, and then head off to Philadelphia Park to saddle a few for the races. At times, he'd have horses running at different tracks on the same afternoon. "I used to call him the Iron Man," said John CARDELLA, a long-time trainer at Toronto's Woodbine track. Now he calls him an icon.
Mr. MEYER trained Classic Go Go to finish fourth in the 1981 Kentucky Derby, but he failed to win the Queen's Plate, although he had lively candidates like Good Old Mort, the 1977 champion filly Northernette, Pine Point, Gentleman Conn and Brilliant Sandy. He also trained top U.S. colt Verbatim.
He was inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame in 1999. Statistics are one thing. But they don't tell the complete story of the man. J.C. MEYER had an unusual sense of humour. He'd stir the pot at every opportunity. He'd latch onto a word or a phrase, and use it in every sentence for a week or a month. His New York trainer Mike Miceli said whenever anybody would ask him how to use a medication, Mr. MEYER would reply: "Use it as indicated." The phrase became such a Mr. MEYER trademark that one of his Friends named a horse after him: As Indicated.
With outfits spread out all around the eastern states and provinces, Mr. MEYER tried to cut his mounting phone bills by making person-to-person calls to his employees, telling the operator that it was "J.C. MEYER calling for Atadandy (the name of one of his racehorses)" or for the weather bureau.
"Atadandy won by four," the employee would say, then decline the call. The puzzled operator might also hear that the weather was rainy and the race taken off the turf before the line went dead.
Mr. MEYER was like a father to his employees and the relationships were never mundane. He'd conduct lessons with his rookies every day after training. He'd pull every horse out of the stall and point out their foibles and problems to them.
"I'd always have my fingers crossed that he would ask me to take the lead shank," said Michael ROGERS, who Mr. MEYER hired at 14 as a hotwalker, shortly after the boy's father died.
One day he did ask Mr. ROGERS to grab a lead shank, and told him about an ailment the horse had. He then told him to show it to assistant trainer Chuck Penny. As soon as he did, Mr. MEYER leaned out of his office door, and with tongue in cheek, scolded Mr. Penny: "You need Rogers to show you these problems?" Mr. ROGERS now works as a financial officer for Frank Stronach.
Just as Mr. MEYER's stable was rising to power in the late 1950s, he hired on Joe BAKOS, a Hungarian jockey who escaped the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Mr. BAKOS arrived in Canada with no money and no idea how to speak English. Nobody would hire him until Mr. MEYER took him on. Mr. BAKOS became his right-hand man for many years and called him Daddy Jerry.
"He was a tough man to work for," Mr. BAKOS said. "He was straight, but you had to do it right."
Mr. MEYER bought Mr. BAKOS a 1961 Ford Falcon, but he hadn't driven it more than 20 miles when he was in an accident and the car was totalled. He spent the next several years paying Mr. MEYER back. Finally, Mr. BAKOS decided to get another car. Mr. MEYER warned him: "You're going to kill yourself." He bought him a 1964 Falcon anyway and hadn't been driving it for long when "some drunk ran into me." He paid Mr. MEYER off for that car, too, but gave it away and stopped driving for years.
"Jerry was a very kind-hearted person," Mr. BAKOS said.
"I used to get mad at him," said Mr. BAKOS' wife, Vera. "But I couldn't stay mad at him." Jokingly, Mr. MEYER had told Mr. BAKOS he'd pay him $1,000 if he'd ever get around to marrying Vera. "[Joe] was going to swim back to Hungary before he'd marry me," Vera said. When they finally did marry, the money arrived in the form of a cheque.
Ray SABOURIN, now one of the stalwarts of the Woodbine riding colony, showed up at Mr. MEYER's door when he was only 17 years old, looking for a job.
When he said he had ridden horses on a farm up north in Sudbury, he unwittingly hit a nerve. J.C. MEYER loved National Hockey League hockey and quickly rhymed off the names of four hockey players who had come from Sudbury. "You're not going to be a hockey player, are you, son?" he asked.
"He was like a second father to me," Mr. SABOURIN said. "He took me under his wing. He was hard on me, but he was fair. He taught me everything I needed to know from a work standpoint and of how to ride horses."
And he could put things into perspective for the youngster, too. Once, when Mr. SABOURIN and Mr. MEYER were both dining on tuna sandwiches and Cokes at Garden State Park in New Jersey, the trainer spotted the track's wealthy owner and president, Robert Brennan, at a nearby table. He was eating the same dishes they had ordered. "See, Ray?" Mr. MEYER said. "We're doing just as good as Mr. Brennan."
As it happened, fortune ended up shining less brightly on Mr. Brennan, who is now serving nine years in a New Jersey prison for bankruptcy fraud and money laundering.
Mr. MEYER also plucked another employee from Europe when he hired Dessy LUOKANOV, a World Cup show-jumping rider from Bulgaria in 2000. He'd been riding racehorses in Greece before being summoned to Canada. "I never found out how he found me, really," he said.
Although Mr. LUOKANOV had never been to Canada before, Mr. MEYER helped him in finding work, and with his finances. The Tuesday before J.C. MEYER died, Mr. LUOKANOV went to visit him in the hospital. They talked for an hour, with Mr. MEYER close to tears and holding his hand. "Don't forget I brought you to this country," he told him. "I know you're doing okay."
To the end, J.C. MEYER was enthralled by the racing game. Three weeks before he died, he called Mike Miceli and asked him to send him a horse. "I'm equipped to handle a few more," he told him.
Twice in his final 10 days, J.C. MEYER checked himself out of hospital and headed straight for the backstretch to muck out a few stalls.
"He always wanted to die with his boots on," Mr. CAVALARIS said. "He damned near did."
Jerry "J.C." MEYER was born in Kitchener, Ontario, on July 2, 1927. He died of cancer at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto on July 15, 2005. He was 78. He was buried four days later with his binoculars and the notebook he carried everywhere. The last notebook entry was the phone number of Hugh CHATMAN, one of many kids he had taken under his wing decades ago and who is now assistant trainer for the mighty Sam-Son Farm.

Gerard BESSETTE, Writer: 1920-2005
Novelist whose works were compared to that of Albert Camus twice won the Governor-General's Literary Award
By M.J. STONE, Special to The Globe and Mail, Wednesday, March 30, 2005, Page S9
Montreal -- As the author of nine novels, a collection of short stories and poetry, Gerard BESSETTE was a two-time winner of the Governor-General's Literary Award.
Mr. BESSETTE, who retired from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, in 1979, also produced numerous critical works that delved into the psychology of Quebec literature in the 20th century. He may well have examined his own writing, namely Le Libraire. One of his most recognized works, it is an existentialist novel about a book-store employee that takes a harsh look at the cultural conditions of small-town Quebec in the 1950s. Considered a Quiet Revolution classic, Le Libraire is frequently compared with Albert Camus's L'Étranger.
Gerard BESSETTE was born in a village on the South Shore of the St. Lawrence near Montreal. In 1944, he graduated from the École normale Jacques-Cartier and was later one of the first scholars to obtain a doctorate in French literature from Université de Montréal in 1950.
He began his career as a poet in 1947. His poem Le Coureur was awarded second prize at the Concours littéraires du Québec, and he went on to represent Canada in the poetry section of the 1948 Olympic Games. But his fascination with verse suddenly evaporated. "I quit writing poetry at the age of 25 or so... Then there was a long silence as far as creative writing was concerned. I started again when I was 36 or 37."
He liked to describe how language and class informed his writing. "I was still torn, not only on levels of language, but also on levels of society. I was from a lower-class milieu, but because of my studies, I was out of it." His first novel, La Bagarre, exposed the symbiotic relationship at work between those elements he divined within. Eventually, his command of voice and his sense of self as an academic were intensified as a consequence of his prose writing.
La Bagarre (1958), Le Libraire (1960) and Les Pédagogues (1961) all explored a similar Quiet Revolution theme of the repressive influences of culture and tradition in Quebec society during the 1950s.
Regarding the popularity of Le Libraire and its lead character, Hervé Jodoin, who resembles the anti-hero Mersault in Camus's L'Étranger, Mr. BESSETTE wrote: "I think that in a way he is the forerunner of the revolt among the young. You know at the beginning he has dropped everything. And had trouble with the Catholic church. Then he gets into the book business and again has trouble with the church. And then he throws everything away and mocks the old regime."
All of his novels are tinged with rebellion, directly and indirectly challenging the status quo and exploring the role of the individual in relation to the expectations of the culture they inhabit. To Steven URQUHART, a doctoral student at Queen's University, Mr. BESSETTE's work uses a great deal of symbolism that is related to phantasmagorical imagery.
"In fact, those who are considered or depicted as monstrous at first are nothing more in reality than human," said Mr. URQUHART, whose doctoral thesis examines grotesque representations and allusions to the notion of monstrosity in Mr. BESSETTE's novels. "The authority figures in his novels end up being the real monsters."
Mr. BESSETTE's later style was inspired by the nouveau roman experimental literary form created by French novelists in the 1950s that included Alain Robbe-Grillet and Nathalie Sarraute. Part of the nouveau roman technique is to eliminate character, plot development and authorial subjectivity to present the reality as pure and uncontaminated as possible. Mr. BESSETTE was a devout advocate of the Freudian psychocritique school of criticism developed by the French scholar Charles Mauron. His works of literary analysis include Littérature en ébullition in 1968 and Trois romanciers québécois in 1973. Regarding his exploration of Freudian literary theory, Mr. BESSETTE once said that psychocriticism gives the reader a feeling of power: "You have an impression and/or illusion that you are discovering things that the writer himself did not know. That's a great satisfaction."
His writing was influenced by a teaching career that began at the University of Saskatchewan in 1946. He also taught at Duquesne University and Royal Military College Kingston, as well as at Queen's. In 1982, he was an invited professor at Yale.
Mr. BESSETTE received the Governor-General's Literary Award for L'Incubation in 1965 and Le Cycle in 1971. He was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 1966 and, in 1980, was awarded Quebec's Athanase-David Literary Prize.
Gerard BESSETTE was born on February 25, 1920, in Ste-Anne-de-Sabrevois, Québec. He died on February 20, 2005, in Kingston, Ontario He is survived by his wife, Irene BAKOWSKI- BORYS.

The countdown has begun:
Newly merged Kenko-Tokina has quietly launched the Tokina SD 17-35mm F4 AT-X PRO FX, a semi-fast wideangle zoom for full frame cameras. The company says the F4 maximum aperture makes it easier to produce a smaller lens with fewer aberrations, to sit alongside its 16-28mm F2.8 PRO. The lens features 'SD' glass that the company says offers similar properties to fluorite elements as well as its 'silent drive module' AF motor and high-precision AF position sensor for fast, accurate focusing. No details of pricing or availability are yet available from the company's distributors outside Japan.
Tokina's sure getting a lot of mileage out of their original & excellent - 12-24mm f4.0 - DX sensor designed lens.
Good for them!
Wonderful, now lets see a 28-70 F/2.8 and a 70-200 F/2.8!!!
Based on the images posted at the Tokina site, this does not appear to be a good lens in terms of sharpness. I think the 16-35 is sharper.
That's good news. We will see how this lens performs at 17 mm and wide open. I found the 17-35 mm far more useful than the 16-28 mm.
samples quality is great !!!
ordered a Tamron SP AF 17-35 2.8-4.0 two days ago :)
if this tokina's price is somewhere near the tamron's, I'll kill myself : /
lets hope this lens perform like the other f/4 lenses available in the market.
Price on Tokina website is 98'000 JPY, this is 750 GPB.
Considering 16-28 is 118'000 JPY on their website and it is about 750 GPB on Amazon, we could expect 17-35 about 600 GPB...
I noticed the lack of distortion at 17mm ... Compared to 16-35/4 VR Nikkor's distortion at the wide end this looks fantastic!
But see resolution of samples, 3861 x 2574 or less so less than full resolution of 5D Mark II, either they have been cropped, so distorsion may has been corrected, either the images have been taken in sRaw1 mode.
While the distortion of those samples could has been corrected during raw conversion, they were taken using f9 or smaller. The performance at wide open is unknown.
aperture do not impact distorsion, only focal length
Sure, but the sharpness wide open is another aspect that is relevant
Sure I know aperture has nothing to do with distortion. I'm talking about distortion handling (fixed during post-process?) as well as wide open performance (of course sharpness).
Yes, but Nikon lens has image stabilization (yes, it matters even with short focal length lenses) and the barrel distortion is easily corrected. That's not to say this new Tokina won't be better than the 17-40; it probably will.
Corner sharpness at 17mm look awsome on the 5DMK2. Since i have that one, this looks very promising.
Ah, tokina, fine lens builder, dreadful at marketing, at least on the European market. Could be very interesting if they can price this competitively.
samples here:
Tokina really need to clean up their lens naming system so people know at a glance if it has built-in AF motor or not.
I hope this is the start of a complete line of Tokina FX lenses.
I'd take it if it had VR/IS.
(crucial for hand held video work)
Unfortunately Tokina doesn't make image stabilized lenses. Not yet anyway. Maybe that will change with the Kenko merger.
Yes, VR is crucial. And I will not sell my 16-35 VR.
light (without VR...), cheap = perfect for A900 :-)
Thats right price !!! If price will be like for Canon 17-40/4, so whos gona buy this Tokina?)))))
If the corner sharpness is like the Tokina 16-28 and the price like the 17-40L, the answer is ME ;)
If same price, maybe it will be better on full frame coverage, because more recent technologies.
And you know there are other brands, like Nikon. 16-35 f/4 is really more expensive than the Canon...
Nikon users, Sony users, Pentax user can buy such a lens, if it's good.
It's gonna be available for Sony?
I hope so...
Already the corner resolution and CA look dramatically better than the Canon, so I would readily choose this lens over the Canon.
If the price is like the 17-40L and corner performance is not, sign me up for one. I don't think they can make a lens has worse corner sharpness than the 17-40L.
The Tokina may not have the resale of the 17-40L but I'll be very surprised if it's as lousy in the corners as the 17-40 is. Tokina really knows what they're doing with these wide angle zooms.
Available for Sony ? It has to be as this is the ONLY full frame brand with NO option for "available" f4 wide zoom lens !
I wanted to say "affordable", sorry
If it's anything like their stellar 11-16mm or the phenomenal 50-135, FX user will have a good option here! (I'm still hoping they won't forget the DX users out there though)
it will certainly make a great affordable semi wide angle for aps-h (1dmk2) sensor cameras as i dont have and cant afford a full frame yet and the 16mm 2.8's are stratospherically priced. it will have to be competitively priced against the canons 17-40 but shouldnt be that hard to beat in terms of sharpness. The only third party producer ive come to respect in terms of quality, price, performace and build are the tokinas! I would be happy if all i ever had were tokinas and canons.
Exactly. Tokina seems to be going for a different segment of the market. Tamron's specialty is all-in-one zoom lenses that go from 12mm-800mm and are wonderfully convenient but lousy; Sigma has super-fast lenses that are just barely ok if you stop down to f/8; but Tokina is making lenses that actually compete with OEM lenses. Of course the 17-40 is an easy target.
^^ I believe one of Tamrons best selling lenses is the 17-50 f2.8 which is very close to the IQ of OEM lenses. Sigma also has the widest UWA that no other manufacturer has ever been able to match. (12-24mm for FF and 8-16 for APS-C). Tokina also seems to specialize in UWA lenses.

Premier medical conference commences in Indonesia
May 3, 2010
By Lt. Col. Michael O. Donnelly
Story Highlights
- Delegates representing more than 20 nations poured in from the Pacific theater to attend the Asia Pacific Military Medicine Conference XX.
- APMMC is an annual conference among Asian countries and is the leading medical conference for practitioners.
- Conference theme is "Understanding Asia-Pacific Military Medical Issues Through Regional Cooperation and Collaboration."
JAKARTA, Indonesia-More than 350 delegates representing more than 20 nations poured in from the Pacific theater to attend the Asia Pacific Military Medicine Conference XX Sunday in Indonesia's capital city.
"We have a powerful and well put together program this year that the international delegates will definitely benefit from and be able to take tangible results back home," said Col. Joseph Pina, Deputy Surgeon for U.S. Army Pacific at Fort Shafter, Hawaii.
Hosted at the Shangri La hotel in the heart of Indonesia's largest city with more than eight million residents, the medical conference welcomed attendees from all sides of the Pacific including Australia, India, Philippines, Malaysia, Japan, Bangladesh and New Zealand, to name a few.
After hours of administrative in-processing and administrative tasks, delegates and co-hosts held an informal reception sparking initial discussions for the week-long premier medical symposium.
"The location is incredible and so far I have met my internal medicine counterparts from several countries, so the coming week is really going to be dynamic in terms of bi-lateral engagements in the medical arena," Pina said.
The secretariat section is responsible for the administrative and logistical responsibilities for the conference and is comprised of nearly a dozen members from across the Pacific services, including support personnel from U.S. forces stationed in Korea.
"The long and difficult preparation has paid off," said Lt. Col. Amy Brinson, APMMC XX conference coordinator. Brinson added that her counterparts from Indonesia were instrumental in laying the foundation to this year's conference.
APMMC is an annual conference among Asian countries and is the leading medical conference for practitioners, doctors, nurses and health care professionals. APMMC is always co-hosted by the U.S. Army in the Pacific and the host nation.
