Police officers and staff committed misconduct over "unsatisfactory and inadequate checks" on a woman who died in their custody, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has found.
Martine Brandon, 48, who was described as "very vulnerable", died after being found unresponsive in her cell at in November 2014.
She was arrested for carrying a knife in Eastleigh town centre in an agitated state, talking about demons.
Police decided not to detain her under the Mental Health Act, which could have allowed her to be taken to a hospital, but for possessing the knife.
An inquest later found she killed herself in her cell at Southampton Custody Centre.
The IPCC said there were "individual and systemic failings in her care."
"The investigation concluded that two custody detention officers conducted unsatisfactory and inadequate checks on Ms Brandon," an IPCC statement said.
"This included some checks which amounted to quick glances through the spyhole in the cell door, one check which was missed and inaccurate entries on the custody logs."

Two officers and two police staff members were investigated and faced disciplinary action in the form of written warnings and "management advice".
However, one custody detention officer had already left the police and was therefore unable to face punishment.
The IPCC investigation found that inadequate, dated and infrequent checks were carried out on Ms Brandon, who was suffering from mental health issues.
IPCC Commissioner Jennifer Izekor said: "My sympathies go out to Ms Brandon's family. This has obviously been an incredibly difficult time for them.
"It was evident from our investigation that Ms Brandon was a very vulnerable person who did not receive the level of care she needed while in custody.
"I hope and believe that Hampshire Constabulary will learn lessons from this sad case and ensure their practices are improved and their staff are properly trained."
Chief Superintendent Mark Chatterton, of Hampshire Constabulary, said: "We are deeply sorry for the death of Mrs Brandon and I would like to apologise unreservedly to her family.
"The facts speak for themselves and in this case they show that some of her care fell below the professional standards expected from our officers and staff.
"Every person who is in our custody should be safe when they are in our care. The Constabulary takes this extremely seriously and I would like to reassure the family and the public that we will review the recommendations from the jury and have already taken action to learn from this very sad case.
"In addition to the independent IPCC investigation, improved training and the formal misconduct action that has been taken against relevant officers and staff, I have also personally made clear my expectations to all of those involved.
"I hope that the conclusion of this inquest allows Mrs Brandon's family to understand the facts about what happened and I apologise once again for their loss."

User talk:Mike Peel
Wikidata fed infoboxesEdit
Hi Mike
Really nice to chat at Wikimania, as I mentioned I am working with Nav Evans to import some UNESCO data into Wikidata, the completed data sets are World Heritage Sites and Biosphere Reserves (identified on Wikidata by Member of: Man and the Biosphere Programme), more are currently being processed in Mix n' Match. It would be really nice to get some Wikidata fed infoboxes for these, especially the Biosphere Reserves as UNESCO has released the descriptions under a Wikipedia compatible license so people are creating new articles from them.
Also Magnus imported all the Grade I and Grade II* listed buildings into Wikidata, I have been in contact with Wikipedia:WikiProject Religious Buildings, Architecture and Monasticism (suggested by User:RexxS and one of the two people listed on the Wikiproject page said he would be happy for them to be added. As I mentioned there are a lot of churches (even Grade I) that have no infobox at all.
I'm very happy to do any leg work that may be needed to get this done.
--John Cummings (talk) 08:29, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
- P.s you also mentioned that it would be easy to learn how to do this myself, are there any instructions anywhere? Thanks, John Cummings (talk) 21:23, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hi @John Cummings: It is fairly straightforward to enable wikidata in an infobox yourself, see the instructions at en:Module:Wikidata, and practical examples at en:Template:Infobox telescope. The technical side of this is now relatively easy, the more time-consuming aspect is the work needed to identify the Wikidata properties that match up with the infobox parameters (or propose new ones), and to move the content over from infoboxes to Wikidata (it sounds like you have a headstart here though).
- If you can identify an infobox or two that would be helpful to you to be wikidata-enabled, then let me know which ones and I'd be happy to start converting them over. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:09, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
- Many thanks Mike, I would like to do the infoboxes for Biosphere Reserves, World Heritage sites and religious buildings. I'm just waiting to hear back from people from Wikiproject World Heritage and then I'll plan out the fields. Thanks again --John Cummings (talk) 10:53, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
- P.s you also mentioned that it would be easy to learn how to do this myself, are there any instructions anywhere? Thanks, John Cummings (talk) 21:23, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
Hi Mike
I haven't heard anything back from Wikiproject World Heritage, I think it not very active, I'm not convinced I will get a reply, to keep this moving here are the changes I think should be made:
Year should be split into two field from Wikidata
- inception date (the date the site was created, maybe inception date isn't the correct name though)
- World Heritage inscription date (the date the site became a World Heritage site)
Also I think Region is very ambiguous, perhaps Country would be better?
Expand a field called Criteria to match the Wikidata field 'World Heritage criteria (2005)' (the criteria under which the site was given world heritage, there are 10 criteria and more than one criteria is often applicable to a site, I think it would be sensible to link to this)
I'm unsure what to do with the World Heritage ID number field, there are links on Wikdata to the World Heritage page but I don't know if this would be ok in an infobox
Is this clear or should I map it all out matching the existing fields in the template to Wikidata properties?
--John Cummings (talk) 14:45, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
- @John Cummings: I've made a start at en:Template:Infobox World Heritage Site/Wikidata - see en:Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City for an example of it in action. There are a number of parameters that I'm not sure are on Wikidata yet. Have a look, see what you think, and perhaps we should continue this discussion at en:Template talk:Infobox World Heritage Site? (I'll ping you there). Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:59, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Mike Peel: wonderful :), yes lets do it there. --John Cummings (talk) 20:11, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

I love this mascara! The packaging is very cute, the print only slightly faded. I carry it with me everywhere. This mascara really holds curl for me, does not flake or run, & with the right technique, it really does look like you're wearing false lashes. If it weren't the fact that I'm still a bit of an amateur in the makeup world, I would buy it again & again! First, I want to test other mascaras but, I can definitely see myself buying this one again! Best of luck to everyone else ♥

What was it like for you the first time you got high (off whatever, weed, e, shrooms, acid, ect..)?
I had smoked a good amount of times but never really felt anything..so one night i was cruising with my friend and we smoked a blunt. He dropped me off at my house and I went upstairs to my room, thankfully no one else was home.
I sat on my bed and started texting my friend…and i started thinking (since i had a keyboard on my droid at the time..) that when i was texting my thumbs and fingers across the keyboard were playing battleship with each other as i was texting O.o
I started laughing to myself thinking this…then I turned and looked at the reflection of my tv screen and looked at myself..and thought to myself "damn im high…"
I had plans with my other friend but I was too pussy so i cancelled them..the rest of the night for about 2 hours i just walked around my house and thought of how cool it felt, but i was also pretty nervous lol. then i just went to sleep cuz i was scared i would have to talk to my parents :D
So yeah..share your stories! very interested
@Chief We do things a bit differently in the Bahamas
Not thaaaaaat long ago….
I was up in Maine, first time with MJ, my friend had this dope high-tech vape…
We were up in my friends barn with him and our other friend and we drank some Jack n Coke first then took a few vape hits, it was some pretty shit to begin with but I was flyyyyiiin!
Kinda got couchlock and couldn't move, tried to freestyle a lot, and my friend recorded much of the shit and we had some good laughs afterwards. Lots of philosophy, calling girls while high, and seeing weird patterns in the ceiling and other typical shit. Good times.
The date was 11/11/11 (17). Skyrim just came out, and I was prepped for an all nighter with the Stormcloaks. A few of my friends called wanting to chill, and I was a bit reluctant because "dude, it's Skyrim", but I was convinced anyhow. After being picked up, I'm given a quick tutorial on how to use the pipe/carb. The first hit scorched my throat (which I like to think was taken at 11:11), and that pain was alleviated by the second one. One time around the block and I haven't felt much, then we stop at another friend's house which is yards away from mine. As a conversation is being had there, I'm just staring at them blankly envisioning how they'd look 30 years from now. Whenever there was chuckling, I'd get all self-conscious about acting like a "stereotypical stoner", but that passed quickly. After rapping along to Dumb for a bit, I subtly let them know I was anxious to play Skyrim in this state, and so I peaced off and skipped along home.
Skyrim was something else man. First of all, it turned out I forgot to pause the game before I left, so I returned and I was in the wilderness with my horse dead next to me. I said a quick "Requiescat en Pace" and was on my way. On foot, my stealth based Wood Elf scaled the entire map for the sake of a Stormcloak side quest; a walk from Whiterun to Solitude. A run-in with a couple of wolves felt so damn real, I was thankful I hadn't progressed to fighting dragons yet. I also became best friends with a fox that was with me for most of the journey, who I so cleverly named Mr. Fox (said with a quirky British accent). When night came, the aurora borealis took the sky and the most tranquil music kicked in. Now imagine me moving my right stick up super slow to marvel at the virtual beauty. In essence, a side quest that would normally take 30 minutes took an hour and a half b/c I found it natural to jump up the side of mountains half the time. Overall, it was fucking epic.
ive been high on life ever since i was born nigga!
For the record, you can just call me Caia.
Anyway, here's my story:
Several weeks before this, my first boyfriend had broken up with me. I don't know how many of you remember that type of feeling, but it's not a good one. I basically got tired of feeling like shit and hit my one homie up like "Yo, smoke me out."
Got some weed, got some snacks from the Asian Mall, rolled up with fuckin' notebook paper in a public park, took the first hit and never looked back.
I was with my big homie Larry and we went over to the neighborhood weed mans house, who we went to school with. He says y'all wanna smoke? I was kicked out and staying with Larry so I was like sure. We blaze one, then walk up to the store. The moon was full and I swear I saw the Wu W. we got to the store copped some Doritos and I could taste every granule of nacho cheese flavor exploding like Katy Perry's boobs in my mouth. We went home and flirted with the neighborhood hoes and wished for destiny's child to jump out the tv and bone us.
Okay, so my first time was eatin some brownies. I had myself the brownies in my 4th period at school. I thought thirty minutes later they kicked in and then wore off so I was cool. So 4th goes by, lunch goes by, and now i'm sittin in 5th. All of the sudden I realized that one of my friends was talkin to me. She was sayin somethin but i didn't pick up any of it. So i turned to her and she had the brownest eyes i've ever seen. And she just kept talkin but i didn't listen to shit, i just kept lookin at her eyes. Then i realized everything that wasn't her face was blurry like i didn't have my glasses on. The class ended and we got up and started to walk to our 6th and everyone who i wasn't lookin at was still blurry. The entire time walkin down the hall, i looked at her, but ran into at least twenty people on the way to class. Then got to 6th, sat down, and freestyle'd in my head the rest of class.
Was at a friend's house and his pothead friend says I should get high with them. So I did even though I was drunk at the time. Didn't enjoy it at all
Then of course afterwards my friend was like "You shouldn't have done that seeing as how you're already drunk but fuck it, at least you tried something new right?" lol
First time I got high I was at school and I got caught so I had to sit in the principals office for like 2 hours getting that disappointed look from all the teachers before my moms came and picked me up
My first time was This past spring Break with my friends in Panama City. We were going to play ding dong ditch in this random Hotel but this dude walked out his Hotel and asked did we want to smoke with him. There was alot of college hoes in there so of course we said yes. We were there for a good 3o minutes. That was a good ass 16th Birthday
first time was smoking a few bowls with a girl in her car and, then, walking around a public park and looking at clouds and talking. haha.
im not sure what happened my first time, all i know is i woke up naked next to some guy with his face eaten off..
beginning of 8th grade
Out of the blue hit the bong one day, cause some chick had one
didn't feel anything
hour later smoked like a g out of an apple
got kinda high
nothing to special of a story, just laughed a good bit that day

- SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBY) fell 10% as investors reacted to the company's announcement to acquire ARM Holdings for $32B.
- Shares of messaging app Line (Pending:LN) also dropped 10% following a successful dual listing last week in New York and Tokyo.
- Nintendo (OTCPK:NTDOY) continued to climb on "Pokemon GO" fever, trading up 14%. Its market cap, now over $42B, has just topped Sony.
Mon, May 23, 11:10 AM
- Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY +0.5%) is in early-stage talks to take over SoftBank's (OTCPK:SFTBY +1.9%) majority position in Finnish mobile-game maker Supercell, The Wall Street Journal reports.
- Supercell makes popular combat simulator Clash of Clans, and SoftBank took majority control with a $1.53B investment in 2013, before growing its stake last year to 73%.
- Also last year, Alibaba (of which SoftBank is the biggest shareholder) teamed up with China's Giant Interactive Group to talk about taking control of Supercell, though price has hung up those discussions. And Supercell is said to prefer having autonomy under SoftBank's umbrella.
- Sources say that Supercell was valued about $5.25B last year. Its most recent game, Clash Royale, was the top-grossing mobile game for March with more than $80M.
- Now read Tencent: Like Buying Facebook At A Bargain »
Wed, May 4, 11:45 AM
- SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBY -1.4%) still looks like a bidder in the FCC's broadcast incentive spectrum auction.
- But the company "won't be a big buyer," a source tells CTFN.
- The participation of SoftBank in the auction has been an open question, with spectrum-rich Sprint (S -4.6%) electing to sit out what could be an expensive endeavor. So if it's taking part, it's likely looking for opportunistic purchases and "niche fill-ins."
- SoftBank has been using creative financing to help Sprint with liquidity issues, and so a chance to bid on bargain spectrum could present itself with an obscurely named entity or smaller partner.
- Now read Implications Of SoftBank Split »
Wed, Mar. 23, 4:17 PM
- SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBY -1.8%) has become the latest to invest in Hollywood talent, putting $250M into agency WME/IMG.
- That's good for a 5% stake in the talent and sports agency, which became a more formidable competitor to Creative Artists Agency with the merger of its parts WME and IMG in 2013.
- CAA had received its own $250M investment from TPG Capital in the fall. For its part, SoftBank has also been poking around Hollywood, investing $250M into producer Legendary Entertainment late in 2014.
- The new investment dilutes WME/IMG's owners equally and should provide some relief to the debt-heavy agency.
Mon, Mar. 7, 11:50 AM
- Sprint (NYSE:S) is up 5.9% today in the wake of a reorganization plan from its parent, SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBY +3.6%).
- The move to separate into two firms, domestic and international, puts SoftBank's ownership of Sprint into the side with its holdings of Alibaba among overseas operations. That's the side that Nikesh Arora (heir apparent to SoftBank chief Masayoshi Son) will run.
- The domestic side, run by Ken Miyauchi, will cover the domestic mobile business, including the company's investment in Yahoo Japan. Son will remain in control of both companies.
- While domestic mobile profits have helped fund efforts to turn around Sprint, the reorg is largely internal, since SoftBank will be the single listed company and earnings won't be separated out among the two.
- With a reorg in place, eyes now turn to whether SoftBank will take a writedown on its $21.6B acquisition of the Sprint stake.
- Last week, details emerged about a network-leasing financing scheme at SoftBank that will inject some $3B-$5B of capital into Sprint with wireless equipment and spectrum as collateral.
- Previously: Laden with debt, Sprint turning to spectrum (and SoftBank) to secure cash (Mar. 02 2016)
Wed, Mar. 2, 7:35 PM
- Sprint's (S +7.9%) latest plan to revive a flagging business? A network-leasing unit at owner SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBY), which would supply the carrier with loans collateralized by wireless equipment -- and some of its spectrum rights.
- That's the "crown jewel," and SoftBank had already previously set up a unit to buy (and lease back) Sprint's phone inventory for $1.2B.
- The spectrum rights (estimated at north of $115B in value) aren't going anywhere, but Sprint will pursue $3B-$5B from related loans this year. That's against $34B in debt, more than twice Sprint's market value.
- Sprint has elected to sit out the upcoming FCC broadcast incentive auction for airwaves. But then it's in a cash crunch, and already sitting on the biggest piece of 2.5 GHz spectrum in the country. So far, ambitions to apply that to creating the fastest wireless network are unrealized.
- Drawing some billions from its spectrum is getting closer to a last resort as Sprint buys time for a network turnaround. "I don't think Sprint will go belly-up. Masa would probably be there to bail them out," says Recon Analytics analyst Roger Entner. "But it shows what kind of bind Sprint is in, when you have to collateralize the plates and silverware."
- Shares in Sprint closed at a 2016 high today, and are up 35% over the past month.

Nov. 24, 2015, 7:52 PM
- SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBY -1.6%) last month declared a plan to spread "several billions" each year in investments around the world, all set to be managed by president (and likely successor to Chairman Masayoshi Son) Nikesh Arora -- who certainly seems to prefer options in India over pouring more money into struggling Sprint (S +0.9%).
- In an interview with Bloomberg on his strategy, Arora says that while they're focusing on later-stage startups with proven products, there's "money to be made in any stage, as long as you identify the right company."
- While there are some 150 companies valued over $1B, Arora says there are about 1,000 companies over $500M: "That's our universe. We believe with 1,000 companies we can interpret this universe and understand it with limited resources."
- He says the best thing they can offer startups is "operational insights," rather than investment strategy or fund-raising help.
- As for SoftBank trading at a discount to public assets: "There are three things that people worry about. One is what's going to happen to Sprint. Two is what's going on in China. And three is I hope Masa won't do another Sprint." But as for Sprint, "Masa is unrelenting. He is working with [Sprint managers] almost every night for a few hours, 10 p.m. calls, or in the morning."
- Previously: SoftBank planning "several billions" in annual global investment (Oct. 22 2015)
- Previously: Sprint to target 'bloated' structure with $2.5B in cost cuts (Oct. 09 2015)
Nov. 20, 2015, 8:00 AM
- Sprint (NYSE:S) -5% premarket following the announcement of $1.2B sale-leaseback plan.
- Under the plan, a group of investors including Sprint (S) majority owner Softbank (OTCPK:SFTBF, OTCPK:SFTBY) will create a $1.2B into an entity to purchase the devices Sprint leases to customers.
- Sprint will then lease back the devices from the new venture, giving it fresh funding "at an attractive cost of capital which is well below Sprint's alternatives in the high-yield debt market."
- "Providing mobile devices to customers is the biggest use of cash in the carrier model, and with this new structure we have more closely aligned Sprint's cash flows with those associated with leasing devices to our customers," CFO Tarek Robbiati says.
- The move will boost free cash flow, but reduce 2015 Ebitda by ~$400M.
- Related: Sprint: Cost Cutting Is A Sign Of Desperation (Oct. 9)
Aug. 31, 2015, 5:04 PM
- When it comes to Sprint (S -2.8%), SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBY -0.9%) has been putting its money where Chairman Masayoshi Son's mouth is -- shoring up support with daily stock purchases over the past three weeks.
- Since Aug. 10, Sprint shares are up 50% -- more than $7B added to market value, as SoftBank has taken its stake to 82% from 80%. The company has said it would keep buying, but wouldn't take more than an 85% stake, in the wake of Son's oral recommitment to making Sprint a success story.
- Sprint's market cap is up substantially, but cash burn is still an issue: Cash and equivalents fell by $1.95B (compared to a year-ago burn of $799M), meaning a balance of $4.01B fell to $2.06B at the end of the quarter.

Aug. 19, 2015, 2:05 PM
- SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBY) is up 4.4% in U.S. trading after overnight news that President Nikesh Arora is buying nearly half a billion dollars worth of the company's stock in the coming six months.
- "I have decided to take a personal bet on the SoftBank Group and ensure an alignment of vision" with Chairman Masayoshi Son, he said.
- Son expects Arora to be his successor -- and Arora is known not to be a big fan of the company's investment in Sprint, even while he pushes investments into Indian technology firms.
- Arora has aid he has three criteria for making investments: market size, quality of the team, and the right business model.

- Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) has jumped to $89.05 after posting an FQ4 beat amid low expectations. Along with the results, the company has announced COO Daniel Zhang is its new CEO, effective May 10; current CEO Jonathan Lu will stay on board as vice chairman, joining Joseph Tsai in holding that title. Jack Ma remains executive chairman.
- Revenue growth accelerated to 45% Y/Y from FQ3's 40%. Chinese marketplaces GMV rose 40% to RMB600B ($96.6B), a slowdown from FQ3's 49%. Mobile accounted for 51% of GMV, up from 42% in FQ3 and 36% in FQ2. Annual active buyers +5% Q/Q and +37% Y/Y to 350M.
- A stabilizing monetization rate (revenue as a % of GMV) helped make the FQ4 beat possible: After falling 35 bps Y/Y in seasonally strong FQ3 to 2.7%, monetization rate fell just 1 bps Y/Y in FQ4 to 2.17%. Making this possible: Mobile monetization rate rose to 1.73% from 0.98% a year ago. Altogether, mobile revenue rose 352% Y/Y and was 40% of China retail marketplace revenue vs. 30% in FQ3 and 12% a year ago.
- Segment performance: China retail commerce revenue +39% Y/Y to $2.11B. China wholesale +42% to $136M. International wholesale +19% to $190M. International retail +53% to $70M. Cloud computing/Web infrastructure +82% to $63M. Everything else (boosted by acquisitions) +169% to $243M. Taobao GMV +29% to $61B; Tmall GMV +62% to $35B.
- Financials: Free cash flow +143% Y/Y to $914M; it trailed net income of $1.25B. R&D spend ($491M) was 17% of revenue vs. 10% a year ago; sales/marketing ($408M) was 15% of revenue vs. 11%; G&A ($400M) was 14% of revenue vs. 4%. Soaring stock compensation expenses (driven by the IPO) contributed to the spending growth. Alibaba had $19.7B in cash at the end of March.
- Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) has risen to $44.95 thanks to Alibaba. SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBF) has seen the value of 797.7M-share Alibaba stake grow by over $7B.

- With the market open in Tokyo, the Nikkei index has passed 19,000 for the first time since the dot-com bust, to reach a new 15-year high, following on the U.S. market's strong day. The index is up 0.7% so far, to 19,130.
- Early top gainers included robotics firm Fanuc (OTCPK:FANUY), up 10.2% in local trade early, while Softbank (OTCPK:SFTBY) is up 0.5% and Fast Retailing (OTCPK:FRCOY) up 1.7%.
- Big exporters are benefiting from a weaker yen: Toshiba (OTCPK:TOSYY) up 0.3%; Toyota (NYSE:TM) up 0.3% in Tokyo trade.

- Sprint (NYSE:S) just keeps moving today (up 6.7%) alongside rumors that its network expansion may be more aggressive than announced.
- Aside from Sprint's recent 48-market Spark/LTE rollout, niche Sprint-network tracker S4GRU claims there are plans for 9,000 new LTE sites -- a key organic move, after Sprint had previously expanded via different tech from Nextel and Clearwire.
- The plan is supposedly highly targeted per market and will involve "significant capital spend" -- which would raise the question: If Masa Son (OTCPK:SFTBY) is keeping a close eye on the purse, where's the money coming from?
- "Project Ocean" and "Project Cedar" expansions in central U.S. and Montana are already funded, but the other 8,000 sites will need some detailing for any funds beyond initiation.
Jan. 29, 2015, 9:37 AM
- Alibaba's (NYSE:BABA) FQ3 GMV rose 49% Y/Y to RMB787B ($127B). However, its monetization rate (revenue as a % of GMV) fell 35 bps Y/Y to 2.7%, leading revenue growth to only reach 40%. By contrast, monetization rate fell just 1 bps (to 2.30%) in FQ2.
- A major culprit: Mobile grew to 42% of GMV from 36% in FQ2 and 20% a year ago. And the mobile monetization rate (1.96% vs. 1.87% in FQ2 and 1.12% a year ago) remains well below the total rate. Mobile was 30% of revenue vs. 42% of GMV.
- A bright spot: EBITDA rose 34% Y/Y to $2.43B, better than expectations for 24% growth and driving the EPS beat. Heavy spending led EBITDA margin to slip to 58% from 60% a year ago. With stock compensation spend (IPO-driven) rising to 16% of revenue from 4%, and new business initiatives growing, operating expenses rose to 33% of revenue from 30%, and gross margin fell to 71% from 78%.
- China commerce revenue +32% to $3.6B (a slowdown from FQ2's 47%); international commerce (AliExpress-driven) +39% to $284M; cloud computing/infrastructure +85% to $58M; everything else (boosted by acquisitions) +266% to $309M.
- Taobao GMV (driven by smaller merchants) +43% to $80B; Tmall GMV (driven by larger merchants) +60% to $47B. Annual active buyers rose to 334M from 307M in FQ2 and 231M a year ago.
- Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) is following Alibaba lower, and is now down 9% since posting Q4 results and announcing its spinoff plans.

- The WSJ says it "wasn't immediately clear" what led buyout talks between SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBF) and Dreamworks (NASDAQ:DWA) to cool. The paper now reports the companies "could ultimately strike a deal other than an outright takeover ... for instance some kind of content partnership."
- DWA -7.4% AH to $26.10. Shares rose 26% in regular trading on reports of acquisition talks featuring a $32/share offer.

text: I thought I'd mention a little food for thought on the first class of pilot's being trained to carry weapons in the cockpit. Out of 50 hand picked candidates, two failed the class. Of the two that failed the class, one was a former Federal Officer and the other was working as a part time law enforcement officer. All of the candidates were chosen for the first class on the strength on their previous firearm training. It was expected that none would fail the class because they were all very highly trained to begin with. Apparently the TSA has set up a very challenging course and there is currently a controversy on the "tone" of the course. Many involved in the movement to arm pilot's are unhappy with this course and the politics involved. It is preceived as unnecessarily difficult with numerous opportunities to lose your license (failed pysch exam/evals) . The TSA was no fan of the program and is charge of the program. It appears to involve a little "payback".

The Badgers finished 41.7% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range.
Kayla Bagaason led North Dakota with 11 points.

Macro flash recomendation, D700 & Sigma 150
Dec 19, 2011
I like to shoot macro now and again and have a superb lens for this purpose, a Sigma 150mm macro OS. I have also bought one or two gadgets in my time including better tripods and macro focussing rails. I have never bought a macro flash but I think I need to bite the bullet and get one despite the cost. I have used a regualr flash on a flash cord but that is a bit of a compromise.
Any recommendations? Do I need to buy Nikon? Is Nikon even the best choice for the Sigma 150? Is there anything I should be aware of that I may not have thought of?
b.t.w. I will also post in the Nikon lens forum and a specialist flash forum if I find one. Sorry if you see it more than once.

Saturday-Sunday. Boulder's main pedestrian thoroughfare, the Pearl Street Mall, will morph into an open-air art gallery this weekend as dozens of artists descend on the city for the Open Arts Fest. More than 100 artists representing 20-plus states will display (and sell) their paintings, sculptures, furniture, jewelry, ceramics, photography and glass work. Kids can channel their inner Monet (or Jackson Pollock, as the case may be) in the Clementine Studio tent — think shadow puppets, textile collages and vulnerably blank canvases — while adults can enjoy food, drink and performances from Boulder's Frequent Flyers Productions aerial group and the nouveau-circus arts of Fractal Tribe. 10 a.m.-7 p.m. July 19 and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. July 20. Pearl Street between 11th and 15th streets. Free admission and free parking at city of Boulder parking garages. 303-449-3774 or boulderdowntown.com.

Wake set for slain NJ police officer
Mourners are set to begin saying their goodbyes to a rookie Jersey City police officer slain in the line of duty
Associated Press
JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Mourners are set to begin saying their goodbyes to a rookie Jersey City police officer slain in the line of duty.
A wake for Officer Melvin Santiago is scheduled for Thursday afternoon. Santiago's funeral is scheduled for Friday morning.
The 23-year-old Santiago was killed while responding to reports of an armed robbery early Sunday at a 24-hour drug store. Authorities say the suspect, 27-year-old Lawrence Campbell, had grabbed a security guard's gun and waited for police to arrive before opening fire. He also was killed.
Tensions in the city have been raised this week by a sidewalk memorial to Campbell erected in his neighborhood. Mayor Steven Fulop ordered the display taken down.
Police said in a leaked memo that an informant spoke of possible retaliation against police by Bloods gang members.

The Big Ten has some historic venues. Cast your vote for the toughest place to play.
The Big Ten has led the nation in college basketball attendance for 40 years. So where is the toughest place to steal a win: MSU's Breslin Center, IU's Assembly Hall or Wisconsin's Kohl Center?
Some Big Ten coaches, such as Minnesota's Richard Pitino, sit squarely on the hot seat. Others, such as Michigan State's Tom Izzo, are untouchable. How do they all stack up?

Nice Hotel in Sugarland, TXPosted Jun 4, 2016
Pros: Everything
Cons: I wish the hotel had on site laundry. We have to take our clothes to a laundry wash to get our clothes cleaned
Location: Lot of restaurants close by to eat and a huge mall and everything else you would expect.
Great Hotel in middle of everything in Sugar Land, TX. Will consider this location again definitely the next time.

Nice hotel close to restaurant/mallPosted Apr 26, 2016
The hotel was nice and easy to get to. It was close to the town square and mall and many restaurants. The room was nice and felt very homey with a big couch. The only issue we had was with housekeeping the day of checkout. Checkout is at 12pm and housekeeping started knocking on our door around 9 - even with the do not disturb sign on the door. She then came back a second time and tried opening the door without even knocking or saying "housekeeping!" Thankfully we had the little latch on so it didn't open all the way, we were still in bed! AND THEN she came back a third time knocking on the door. It was really annoying. Overall it was a nice place to stay and I will be staying again, the view of the lake was really nice too.

Re: The 18mm is great
In reply to rattymouse • Jun 5, 2012
The 18mm f2 is a damn good lens. It's just that if you lined it up with the 35mm and the 60mm it would come in last place. Sort of like winning bronze in the Olympics. With the quality of Fuji's optics, I see no reason to resort to third party glass unless you want a full time MF lens or a focal length that Fuji doesn't make yet. According to the roadmap we should see a pretty good selection of lenses by the end of next year. Really I'll be happy when they come out with the ultra wide. After that, I'm pretty much done.

The incident began at about 1 a.m. Thursday three blocks off Pacific Avenue in Spanaway when deputies spotted the truck spinning around and smoking its tires in an intersection.
A license plate check found that the truck had been stolen from a home near University Place, so deputies tried to pull over the driver of the truck. But instead the suspect rammed one of the patrol cars head-on.
Then the man backed up and rammed the patrol car again, says Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer.
"We have extensive damage to one of our patrol cars - where he rammed the front end, backed up, hit a second time," Troyer said.
Deputies then jumped from the patrol car.
"They got out, and he came at them a third time, (and) they fired some rounds," says Troyer.
The suspect was hit by the officers' gunfire, and he tried to drive away after he was shot. But he didn't get far - the truck slammed into a power pole and knocked out a transformer.
The man later died at a local hospital.
There's not a lot of information on the suspect yet. He's a 31-year-old who apparently has a criminal past, officials said.
None of the deputies were injured during the incident. All of those involved have been placed on paid administrative leave.
