Washington County sheriff's deputies could once again be a common sight at Warren High School as the board of education is considering offering them office space.
The arrangement - which would give deputies a place to file reports and do other work without returning to Marietta while providing an increased law enforcement presence at the high school - is one example of how area schools are reexamining their relationship with law enforcement after the Dec. 14 murders of 20 students and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
"We've talked about it off and on for probably a year or more," Warren Principal Dan Leffingwell said. "I think Connecticut, unfortunately, probably provided the focus to say, 'Hey, let's quit talking about it, and let's make it happen.'"

Washington County Sheriff's Lt. Brian Rhodes, left, walks the halls of Warren High School alongside Principal Dan Leffingwell. The Warren Local Board of Education on Monday will vote on providing office space for sheriff's deputies to file reports and have an increased presence at the school.
Office space
A resolution to provide the sheriff's office with access to the former athletic director's office in building 6 is on the agenda for Monday's Warren Local Board of Education meeting, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. in the administration building.
For five years, the district used grant funding to pay to have a deputy serve as a resource officer at the high school. That funding is no longer available, and the district cannot afford to provide it, board President Bob Allen said.

Law enforcement and local schools
Belpre City - Gave building keys to all city police officers; looking for funding for a resource officer.
Fort Frye Local - Close working relationship with Beverly Police; Washington County sheriff's deputies will visit schools more frequently.
Frontier Local - Increased deputy presence at high/middle school; providing deputies access to security camera system.
Marietta City - Resource officer from Marietta Police Department rotates among the district's six schools.
Warren Local - Office space offered to deputies at Warren High School; looking at increasing presence at elementaries.
Wolf Creek Local - Invited deputies to visit schools anytime and familiarize themselves with the buildings.

Giving the deputies an office with 24-hour access will only cost the board the price of making 25 keys. The arrangement would be beneficial to both parties, sheriff's Chief Deputy Mark Warden said.
"Officers out in that zone, instead of driving back into Marietta, can go there and do reports," he said.
The deputies would not have a set schedule to be at the school, so their presence couldn't be predicted.
"If it's known in the community and the area that we do have a deputy in the building, then that's a deterrent" to violence and other potential problems, Allen said.
Warren Superintendent Tom Gibbs noted a couple of deputies can often be seen at Little Hocking Elementary because they have children there, while Warren Elementary is closer to the sheriff's headquarters in Marietta. But the district is also looking at how to increase law enforcement presence at those schools as well and taking other steps, including installing camera and card ID systems at a total estimated cost of $60,000.
Increased presence
The addition of card ID readers to existing camera systems at most buildings are being planned as well in the Fort Frye Local district, where Gibbs is also superintendent. He plans to talk to authorities about providing more of a presence at that district's schools, he said.
Fort Frye High School Principal Susan Rauch said a deputy met with her about driving by on patrol and walking through the building more often. She noted the school also has an excellent working relationship with the Beverly Police Department.
"Anytime we need anything, all I have to do is pick up the phone and call," Rauch said.
Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks said he plans to have deputies be more visible around area schools, which could be "part of the solution" in improving safety. Warden said he believes the office at Warren will not be a unique situation in the county.
Wolf Creek Local Schools administrators have invited deputies to visit Waterford Elementary and High schools anytime they're in the area.
"We want any and all deputies to become familiar with our buildings" in case of a crisis situation, Superintendent Bob Caldwell said.
In addition, he said he hopes students and staff become familiar with the deputies.
"I think some people view the deputies as only being there when they're doing something wrong," Caldwell said.
That was a benefit of having deputies at Warren in the past, Leffingwell said. Students would often chat with them, and the deputies headed off some problems before they started, he said.
"There were absolutely no negatives to that relationship," Leffingwell said.
Increased access
Deputies were already stopping by Frontier High and Middle School more often due to concerns over bullying in the spring of 2012. Now, Frontier Local Superintendent Bruce Kidder said, the district is working to provide deputies with access to the security camera systems at the high school and Newport and New Matamoras elementaries from their laptops.
"We're just getting that off the ground," he said, noting Lawrence Elementary does not have cameras.
The district has also looked at buzz-through door systems for its buildings, but Kidder noted that system was in place at Sandy Hook.
"You've almost got to have bars on every window to keep people out," he said.
The district is weighing the effectiveness of various options.
The Belpre City school district has invited Belpre Police to visit the schools more often. To make that easier, the district provided keys to all of its buildings for each officer.
Superintendent Tony Dunn said that had been discussed prior to the Sandy Hook massacre, but the circumstances of that shooting were so different from previous incidents - even the one that occurred Thursday in California, when one student shot and wounded another with bullying believed to be at the root of it - that schools were face with "a whole new reality."
"It changed things," he said. "There was not that school connection there that the shooter had."
Initial reports indicated the shooter did have ties to Sandy Hook, but that turned out not to be the case.
For more than a year, Dunn has had conversations with Belpre Mayor Mike Lorentz about ways to pay for a resource officer at the school.
"We're just looking for funding to do that now," he said. "We would welcome them."
The Marietta City school district has a resource officer, Marietta Police Officer Pat Gragan, who spends his time primarily at the middle and high schools and does the D.A.R.E. program in the elementary schools. That position is funded through a state Drug-Use Prevention Program grant.
Marietta officials and residents have also been discussing increased security measures in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook killings.

SACRAMENTO -- As unaccompanied children from Central America continue to flow illegally into California, Gov. Jerry Brown and top Democratic legislators on Thursday unveiled a groundbreaking plan to spend $3 million to make sure the young migrants get legal help.
The legislation, destined to be approved by the end of the legislative session this month because it requires only a majority vote of the Democratic-controlled Legislature, would provide money to nonprofit legal groups representing the unaccompanied minors.
"Helping these young people navigate our legal system is the decent thing to do," Brown said. "And it's consistent with the progressive spirit of California."
The Golden State is believed to be the first state to respond to the immigration crisis with direct funding for the Central American children, although states such as New York have approved some general funding for legal representation for illegal immigrants.
Immigrants facing deportation are not entitled to court-appointed lawyers in the federal immigration system, which already is dealing with an unprecedented backlog nationwide of asylum and deportation cases.
Unaccompanied minors from Central America, many claiming they'll be abused or killed if returned to their home countries, often cannot afford legal help and the crush of new cases has left a shortage of lawyers to volunteer.
Immigration experts say California's new effort could spell the difference between life and death for some children.
"It seems very timely and very necessary," said Dana Marks, a San Francisco immigration judge and president of the National Association of Immigration Judges.
On Thursday, Republican leaders in Sacramento took no position on the legislation but questioned whether California should be paying for legal aid in the federal immigration system.
"Sadly too many of (the children) made the difficult choice to leave horrific situations in their home countries, even if it meant leaving their families," said Senate Republican leader Bob Huff. "Today's announcement will begin the discussion as to the appropriate role California can and should have."
But critics of the U.S. government's current approach to the border crisis blasted the proposal.
"There are guys in Sacramento who stay up late thinking up new ways to benefit illegal aliens," said Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a group that fights to reduce both legal and illegal immigration. "Why is it the California taxpayers' responsibility to pay for legal services for people who are violating U.S. immigration laws?"
Although the flow has recently slowed, since last October about 63,000 minors have crossed into the U.S. without parents or adult guardians. California alone has seen the arrival of 3,900 children, mostly from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. The youngsters are attempting to escape poverty, drug cartels, political upheaval and high crimes rates.
The new California legislation is the latest in a string of bills helping undocumented immigrants that Brown backed in his first term, including legislation that gave them access to college financial aid and allowed them to obtain driver's licenses.
"As the state becomes increasingly racially and ethnically diverse, Democrats have seen the importance of crafting legislation that response to these changes," said Larry Gerston, a political science professor at San Jose State University. And the state Republican Party is trying to rebuild, in part by trying to attract more Latino voters.
Brown's Republican opponent in the upcoming election, Neel Kashkari, "has spent a lot of political energy discussing immigration and his openness to reform," Gerston said. "Is he out of step with Republicans in Sacramento or taking the party in a new direction? We'll know in November."
State Attorney General Kamala Harris, Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg and Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins all strongly backed the measure.
In addition to the funding, the legislation would streamline the guidelines for state courts to grant so-called special immigrant juvenile status to the unaccompanied minors, which accelerates cases once they reach the federal immigration courts. Immigration rights advocates say the reforms could be particularly important given the crush of deportation cases.
"It could be huge," said Elizabeth Roehm, a staff attorney with the Immigration Center for Women and Children in San Francisco. "These cases often last for years."
A recent report by the Transactional Records Access Clearhouse at Syracuse University, analyzing national immigration court records, found that unaccompanied minors fare far better when they have lawyers. The report found 47 percent of the children were allowed to stay in the United States when they had a lawyer, while 90 percent were deported when they appeared unrepresented.

The Freedom to Complicate
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 12:31:41 PM in Patek Philippe (29)
Patek Philippe is undoubtedly among the finest brands of "Cote de Geneve" luxury watches. Being the last family-owned watchmaking enterprise in Geneva, Patek Philippe enjoys broad creative freedom in developing new concepts for its world-acclaimed timepieces and complications. The spirit of innovation, which was fostered by the founders Antoni Patek and Jean-Adrien Philippe when they started the business in the 1840's, still proliferates at the company's workshops until this day. This is apparent in the unlimited number of complicated designs and functions that label regularly dishes out. For instance, the White Gold Men Grand Complications has a mechanical, manually wound movement, minute repeater and tourbillion. A Chime with two cathedral gongs are activated by a slide piece in the case, while displayed on the cloissone enamel dial are the day, month and leap year apertures along with moon phases and perpetual calendar. But that's not all, through the caseback shows sidereal time, sky chart and moon orbit, aside from the "usual" functions of a highly remarkable watch.
Check the piece out at Shreve & Co. on Post Street, San Francisco.

Stuffed Sweet Dumpling Squash
Amid the Christmas leftovers, I discovered this sweet dumpling squash in the recesses of the fridge. Hey, that's a vegetable, I thought to myself. I haven't had anything nutritious to eat in a coon's age. Time to get back to regularly scheduled programing here, regarding the diet. So I roasted and stuffed the squash and could feel the pounds falling off of me as I ate it. This morning when I turned sideways, you couldn't even see me.
Stuffed Sweet Dumpling Squash
2 sweet dumpling squash
2 TBSP olive oil, divided
salt and pepper
1/2 pound sweet Italian turkey sausage (I used links with the casings removed)
1 TBSP butter
1/2 onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup dried cranberries (Craisins)
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 1/2 cups seasoned bread crumbs (I used my homemade seasoned Panko)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut squash in half and remove seeds. Brush the cut sides with one TBSP of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place squash cut side down in a roasting pan and add about a quarter of an inch of water to the pan. Roast the squash in oven for 45-50 minutes or until fork tender.
In a large skillet crumble sausage and brown. Remove from pan to a large bowl. Add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Add the onion and celery, season with salt and pepper and saute until softened, 6-7 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for another minute or two. Add the cranberries, broth and poultry seasoning and turn off the heat. Let the cranberries plump and soften while the squash finishes roasting.
Add the bread crumbs to the sausage and then add the vegetable/broth/cranberry mixture. Toss to combine. You may have to add a bit more broth if mixture seems too dry.
Remove squash from oven and fill with the stuffing mixture. Return squash to oven and bake another 10-15 minutes or until stuffing has browned and heated through.

VAIL - After this year, the Burton U.S. Open will need no introduction here in Vail.
And to many, already it does not.
An iconic event in the sport, the Burton U.S. Open has been off the radar screens of many here in the West due to its former venue in Vermont, Burton's birthplace.
It's the longest-running snowboarding competition in the world, attracting a field that will look almost identical to the 2014 Olympics.
Major breakthroughs in the sport have happened during the comp, and riders who are now household names competed in it when they were pre-teens.
It's switched venues a few times in the 31 years it has now been running, from Suicide Six to Snow Valley to the Base Lodge and finally the Snow Bowl areas of Stratton Mountain.
All of those moves have been within the state of Vermont; now that the Burton U.S. Open has found a new home in Vail, there seems to be one and only one question on the minds of everyone interested in the sport - how will Vail's Golden Peak and the Rocky Mountain settings affect the mood of this classic event?
The big names seem pretty optimistic.
"I couldn't be more excited about its next evolution," said Kelly Clark, who's been spending time in Vail this season, training at Golden Peak. "Burton has always been about progressing the sport and doing what's best for snowboarders, and I truly believe that this move to Vail will make the Open even better."
And that means a lot coming from Clark, as the 30,000 spectators the Vermont venue attracted were largely a hometown crowd for the West Dover, Vt., native.
And when Clark refers to thousands of fans, she's talking about people like Mike Cohen and Craig Wetherby, of Vermont. The friends and roommates have attended every Burton U.S. Open for the last two decades and didn't plan on stopping just because it's no longer in their backyard.
"It's a big commitment for me. I'm not coming on a working vacation. No one's paying my flight or lodging for me," says Cohen, who works for SHUT skateboards. "I wasn't going to go when I heard they moved it, but then I thought, I have to go! I've been going so long and I have to see what it's like now that it's in Vail. ... I really want it to succeed."
While few know for certain what ultimately prompted the move to Vail, Cohen's wishes are likely an echo of the many others who are as fond of the Burton U.S. Open as he is. In a sport that values progression above all else, things may have been getting a little stagnant in Vermont.
Founder and namesake Jake Burton says while Stratton played a pivotal role in making resort snowboarding a reality, these days Vail offers the ideal venue to host the Burton U.S. Open.
"Vail is an incredible mountain and has been my snowboarding home away from home for over 20 years," says Burton. "I have no doubt that the U.S. Open at Vail will only grow in its legacy as the premier rider-driven event in the world."
With all this talk of Vail and snowboard progression, local residents cannot help but be reminded of the Honda Session events from a decade ago.
And as enthusiasts of the sport anxiously wait to see what vibe the Burton event will take on here in its new home on Golden Peak, reminiscing on the Honda Session events is giving pros like Shaun White and Mark McMorris a warm and fuzzy feeling.
"It's on a perfect run," McMorris said of the Golden Peak course in an interview with ESPN. "If you look back to the Honda Vail Sessions that used to be here, it was the biggest jump contest in snowboarding. It's where all the new tricks happened. This is the same idea. It's on the same face of the mountain where the Sessions were held and will have huge jumps, and history will for sure be made."
Shaun White said some of his favorite memories of competition were at the Honda Session events.
"For me, bringing (Vail and the Burton U.S. Open) together is all time," he said. "I'm excited to compete in Vail's new pipe and see everyone come out for the next evolution of this contest."
McMorris and the slopestyle riders compete in semifinals on Feb. 27 and finals on March 1, with finals televised live on Universal Sports starting at 10:30 a.m. White and the halfpipe riders compete in semifinals on Feb. 28 and finals on March 2, with finals televised on NBCSN starting at 10:30 a.m.

Gordon Flake on Japan-Korea Ties
Gordon Flake, a Korea specialist and executive director of the Mansfield Foundation in Washington, is a regular visitor to South Korea and the Northeast Asia region.
As new administrations in Seoul and Tokyo take tentative steps to improve relations following a deterioration of ties last year, Mr. Flake spoke at the Asan Institute for Policy Studies in Seoul on Tuesday about the importance of the bilateral relationship for both countries, the U.S., and security in the region.
Following the election of Park Geun-hye as South Korea's next president late last year, Mr. Flake said that Washington was hopeful the new administration in Seoul would place Korea-Japan relations in an international context rather than get bogged down in two-way spats such as the territorial dispute over the Liancourt Rocks that flared again last year.
As South Korea takes a two-year rotating seat on the United Nations Security Council, coordination with Japan on security issues, notably North Korea, remains essential, Mr. Flake said. A fresh attempt to seal a military information sharing agreement between the nations would also be a step forward, he said. That agreement was ditched at the eleventh hour last year because of nationalist sentiment in South Korea.
Mr. Flake said he shared concerns held by Seoul about the potential impact on the bilateral relationship because of the hawkish bias of the new government in Tokyo. Any provocative moves by the administration of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe would likely earn a strong response "by mandate" because of the strength of feeling in South Korea over issues concerning the colonization by Japan of the Korean peninsula, he noted.

STOCKTON – Authorities apprehended a federal fugitive and a man wanted for attempted murder Friday night following a high-speed pursuit that reached speeds of 110 mph before a collision sent a police car careening into the front yard of a Stockton home, officers said.
The Stockton Police Department and the San Joaquin County gang task force were assisting U.S. Marshals and FBI agents with an ongoing investigation when the chase began about 7:15 p.m., officers said. Authorities tried to initiate a traffic stop after spotting the fugitives in a white Cadillac Escalade near Downing Avenue and Interstate 5, but the driver refused to yield, police said.
Instead, Michael Thompson, 32, and Ricky Gonzales, 32, led authorities on a dangerous nine-minute pursuit, speeding north on Interstate 5, east on West March Lane and south on North Pershing Avenue before entering a residential neighborhood just west of University of the Pacific.
The pursuit ended when officers rammed the fugitives' vehicle on Princeton Road, police said. The collision immobilized the Escalade and caused major front-end damage to a patrol car, which came to rest on a brick lawn centerpiece in front of a home on Mission Road.
Thompson, a documented gang member, was one of the U.S. Marshals' 10 most-wanted fugitives in the Pacific Southwest Region, police said. Thompson was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison after being convicted of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine in 2010, but he escaped in 2011, authorities said. Thompson was arrested on suspicion of escaping prison and evading police.
Gonzales was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with a 2012 case in Stockton, authorities said. He also was arrested on suspicion of carrying a concealed firearm, carrying a loaded firearm, carrying a loaded firearm with the intent to commit a felony and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.

STOCKTON - Authorities discovered the body of a 15-year-old Stockton boy in a drainage ditch early Tuesday after his family reported him missing, the California Highway Patrol said.
Investigators said they believe the boy died about 4:30 p.m. Monday when he crashed a three-wheel all-terrain vehicle while traveling north on the Highway 99 west frontage road just south of Mariposa Road in clear, dry conditions. The boy drove off the western edge of the roadway and into the drainage ditch, sustaining fatal injuries, the CHP said.
The crash went unreported, and the victim was not found until the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office searched the area about 3 a.m. Tuesday after his family reported him missing, authorities said. The boy's name has not been released.
The Highway Patrol is asking any witnesses or people with knowledge of the incident to call (209) 943-8666.

Who Gets What in a Breakup?
A cuddler is a keeper, according to relationship expert Wendy Walsh, PhD, author of The 30-Day Love Detox. His habit shows he's a guy who's ready to form secure attachments, is comfortable with affection, and wants you for more than a booty call.
Most guys fall in this category, according to Walsh. The average guy thinks that the definition of "after play" is the duration of time between his orgasm and the time it takes to reach for his phone. Don't take it personally: Guys are wired differently and many don't like after play. The only time you should be concerned: If he was a cuddler and now isn't. It could be a sign that there's unspoken tension in your relationship.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's tennis team will be in action for the first time this season when they travel to take on Prairie View A&M at 2 p.m. on Thursday afternoon. The Islanders open the year on the road before returning home for a Saturday afternoon match against No. 70 Rice in the first-ever regular-season match at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.
The Islanders return six lettermen and a redshirt from last season, while adding two new players to the fold, one transfer and one freshman. Leading the way will be senior Mirna Cicak at the No. 1 position. Texas A&M – Corpus Christi also returns No. 2 Doris Kuselj, No. 4 Stefania Nicolae, No. 5 Sandra Burges and No. 6 Mia Matuszak from a year ago. In addition to Ashley Garza, who redshirted a season ago, the Islanders will add Cassie Shaw, a transfer from Nebraska – Kearney and Chelsea Horan, a freshman out of San Antonio.
The team finished 12-6 last year, but will return five-of-six players from the lineup and will look to compete for the top spot in the Southland Conference this year. The addition of Shaw and Horan will help strengthen the Islanders into one of the top teams in the league after improving each of the last four years, including a Top 4 finish a season ago.
The Prairie View A&M Panthers already have one match under their belt, competing hard against No. 6 Baylor before falling by a 5-2 final in Waco. The Panthers earned one of their points by taking the doubles point from the No. 6 Bears on their home court.
The teams will play at 2 p.m. on Thursday, with the Islanders returning following the tilt to prepare for their first match at the brand-new Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. They will play host to the nationally ranked Rice Owls on Saturday at 2 p.m. to christen the new facility.

Unless Congress has intervened by now and sent a letter to the U.S. Postal Service -- probably via FedEx -- declaring that first-class Saturday delivery simply must continue, we may be bereft of weekend mailbox missives beginning on Aug. 1.
The good news: no bills to ruin my Saturdays. The bad news: no million-dollar checks to brighten my Saturdays and oh so many, many days after that. Call me crazy optimistic, but I always run to the mailbox, eagerly expecting roughly a million dollars (it could be more, and that would be fine, too) to arrive on any given day. It might be accrued interest from some long-ago, in-my-favor really big mistake by the Internal Revenue Service. Or maybe Mark Zuckerberg will need to unload some excess cash, randomly throwing darts at names of potential beneficiaries in the phone book. Or perhaps a previously unknown-to-me relative will have died -- rest his or her unknown soul -- leaving me some major coin.
Therefore, I'm not keen on reducing the number of opportunities per week that these things could happen. Of course, even with Saturday delivery, the bank would put a hold on such a large check, and I couldn't access it for at least a week. The delay would drive me waka-waka with impatience and greedy with frustration, and as soon as the funds were released I'd squander it all on Bentleys, ginger beer and English bulldogs, and pretty soon I'd be writhing around in the gutter, clutching an empty bottle and probably one of the cuddly bulldogs, who I would have named Bentley.
So, yeah, maybe Saturday delivery is bad.
I 'heart' mail
People make fun of the Postal Service, which I don't understand. After the reduced-service announcement last week, online comments ranged from jokes about using delivery drones to complete indifference as to the existence of the USPS at all, with most folks favoring instant electronic communications.
Sure, the post is not instant, if by instant you mean taking no time at all. But when you think about it, it's pretty darned amazing how you can drop a cute little Valentine's Day card with "I Choo-Choo-Choose You!" and a picture of a little train on the front into a big blue box on the corner of Main Street and Nowhere and have it travel to a huge warehouse, mingle with millions of other pieces of mail in some kind of Mousetrap/Tom-and-Jerry-cartoon-warehouse/shell-game kind of operation and then presto-chango, as if by magic, the cute card appears the next day through the slot in your cousin's front door on the other side of the country, despite sleet or snow or the crabby little bulldog frothing at the mouth in the front yard. Unless it's sleeting or snowing, and then he's frothing inside, where it's warm.
And all for a mere 45 cents. No, 46. What is it now ... 47? Whatever. It's still way cheaper than you could possibly get it there yourself. And heck, I'm willing to pony up a buck a letter so long as we still get our mail.
How about saving the day with some extra cost-cutting measures for postal carriers, like ringing only once instead of always twice? Or perhaps, speaking of ponies, we could reactivate the Pony Express for Saturday delivery. Then we'd receive our letters and also get to pet a pony and maybe ride it around the driveway for a while. Of course that would kind of take the "express" part of the equation for the next customer.
Gifts of the present
I love sending cards. Getting cards. I don't want an e-birthday card, even one that's so interactive it has real candles that poke through my computer screen and set my hair on fire. Real mail is like getting little presents every day to unwrap and sometimes toss in the recycling bin. Why today I just got a letter from AT&T offering me a special $84 U-verse limited time bundle offer, another from Geico on how to save $500, and still another from a real estate agent with a newsletter providing: "Fun facts about chocolate for Valentine's Day." For instance, did you know the word "chocolate" comes from the Aztec word "xocolatl," meaning "bitter water"? Not a very appealing term, but that will not affect my See's Scotchmallow consumption.
True, none of those missives brought me my million-dollar check, or even a personal letter. But still, they're more fun than a barrel of spam. And at least my friend's 6-year-old daughter, a Girl Scout Daisy, confirms that -- despite rain, sleet or service cutbacks, she will personally deliver the two boxes of Thank U Berry Munch and Dulce de Leche cookies that I ordered. Even on a Saturday.

Japan, 2012, 175 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Drama, ThrillerLanguage: Japanese English Sub-Titles
Part I Screens at 9:15pm Friday, February 22nd at the Sie FilmCenter
Part II Screens at 9:15pm Saturday, February 23rd at the Sie FilmCenter as part of The Watching Hour during our 2013 Focus On Japanese Cinema!
Digital presentation - Divided into five chapters, the film tells the story of Asako, whose daughter Emili was brutally murdered while in elementary school. Emili's four best friends all saw the face of the killer, but each insisted that they could not remember it, as if the shock of the tragedy had swept away their memories. Fifteen years later, the crime remains unsolved, and the vengeful Asako is determined to make the girls pay for their reticence.
As Asako methodically tracks down each of the women, Kurosawa minutely observes how their feelings of guilt have warped their lives, binding their existence to the moment that none of them can forget. But, in the final chapter, which reveals what actually happened on that fateful day, the tables suddenly, horribly turn — and Asako is faced with a penance greater than any she could have imagined. A disquieting fresco of disturbed minds and wounded souls, Penance is a quiet masterpiece of mounting intensity.
DIRECTOR: Kiyoshi Kurosawa

BARRINGTON — Daryl J. Robertson, 39, subject of a federal investigation into possession of child pornography images, died Sunday, August 11, according to an obituary submitted to area media today.
No cause of death has been confirmed.
Robertson was facing seven felonies alleging possession of images of nude boys engaged in sexual behavior, according to court records. Evidence was gathered from a relative's residence in Greenland, where Robertson had been living before moving to Southern Maine.
Robertson was alleged to have purchased child pornography between September 2010 and April 2011, according to the court affidavit.
Robertson was employed for six years as a music teacher at St. Thomas Academy, but was dismissed after an arrest for inappropriate touching of a student visiting his home. In March of 2009 he was given a suspended jail sentence for sexually assaulting the former student by reaching out and grabbing him through his bathing suit. He was sentenced to 10 days in the Rockingham County jail, with all of it suspended pending his good behavior for a year. The conviction was subsequently overturned.

A two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Griffith Road and Route 488 in Phelps that resulted in one injury is being blamed on faulty brakes, according to Ontario County Sheriff's deputies.
On Monday, June 30, at 6:30 p.m., Charles J. Atkinson, 21, of 69 William St. Ext. in Phelps was driving a 1993 Lincoln west on Griffith Road when police allege he failed to stop for a stop sign at Route 488. Deputies said Atkinson's vehicle entered the intersection, colliding with a 2008 Dodge driven north on Route 488 by Richard Tyll, 53, of 31 Hallmark Road in Rochester. Atkinson's vehicle then struck and snapped a NYSEG utility pole at the northwest corner of the intersection, they said.
Atkinson reported that his brakes were not functioning and he was unable to stop, said deputies. He complained of chest pain, but refused to be taken to a hospital, they said.
A passenger in Tyll's vehicle, Andrew K. Tyll, 20, also of 31 Hallmark Road in Rochester, was taken by Phelps Ambulance to Clifton Springs Hospital for treatment of a leg injury. Deputies reported no other injuries.
Atkinson was charged with having inadequate brakes and failure to stop at a stop sign. He will appear in Phelps Town Court to face charges at a later date.
Phelps Fire Department assisted at the scene.

Work or school activities that mostly involve sitting can
usually be continued right up to the due date in an uncomplicated pregnancy.
But if your work or school involves more than 3 hours of standing at a time or

This oatmeal apple crisp pie is a gem. The dessert is made with two kinds of apples, sugar, cinnamon, brown sugar, and oats, among other yummy ingredients.
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Arrange the baking rack to the lower third of your oven and preheat to 400°F.
Unroll the ready-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Press into the pan, allowing the excess to hang over the edge. Fold the excess dough under, so that it is even with the plate's rim, and pinch the edges to make a decorative design.
Peel, core, and cut the apples into 1/2-inch chunks. Place them in a medium bowl. Add the sugar, lemon juice, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Toss to combine. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Combine the brown sugar, flour, oats, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add the butter and work with fingertips until it looks like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the apples.
Place the pie into the oven and bake for 30 minutes at 400°F. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for 20 to 30 minutes longer, or until the apples are tender.
Remove the pie from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack. Let it cool completely before serving.

SANTA CRUZ -- Like generations of others, Santa Cruz police detective Elizabeth Butler came to town to study at UC Santa Cruz and stayed.
The 10-year veteran of the force was gunned down Tuesday alongside veteran Sgt. Loran "Butch" Baker. She had worked as a patrol officer, hostage negotiator, downtown foot and bike officer, and an agent assigned to the Santa Cruz County drug task force.
In a June 2011 post on the Police Department blog, Butler said she grew up in Los Angeles and moved to Santa Cruz in 1992 to attend UCSC, where she graduated as a community studies major.
She wrote she enjoyed morning buns rolled in sugar at Kelly's Bakery on the Westside and the view at night of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk while riding a roller coaster.
"I enjoy living and working in Santa Cruz because one can enjoy the ocean, the mountains, interesting people, and a healthy lifestyle all in one spot," wrote Butler, adding that she enjoyed hiking, walking on the beach, cooking and spending time with her family.
But she also dealt with the other side of life in Santa Cruz as part of her job.
Butler gave testimony in an April 2012 preliminary hearing of a man accused of killing a Santa Cruz woman and leaving her body in his apartment for days. The man, John Bruce Clauer, still awaits trial on first-degree murder charges.
In 2005, the Sentinel profiled Butler while she was patrolling downtown. A reporter described her as "friendly, but with the stern edge of a parent or teacher."
She encountered a young man sitting on a planter box and told him, "You know you can't sit here," then adding to the reporter, "I'm always reminding him that the parking lot is private property. It's a lot like parenting with all the reminders."
Butler described her job then as a mixed bag of public relations and fighting crime, saying almost every day she would confront homeless people, shoplifters, drunks, drug deals, panhandling, and tourists asking how to get to the beach or where to get the best burger in town.
"You have to be a people person down here," Butler told the Sentinel. "I really do know people's names. You know their names, you know the ones who have problems with narcotics."
Butler is survived by her partner, Peter, and two children.

Grilled Eggplant with Garlic-Cumin Vinaigrette, Feta, and Herbs
(Makes 3-4 servings, depending on size of eggplant, recipe adapted from Fine Cooking magazine, September 2007.)
1 large eggplant, cut in uniform slices 3/4 inch thick
olive oil, for brushing on eggplant
2 T chopped fresh mint
2 T chopped fresh cilantro
(You could use all mint or all cilantro if that's what you have. I also think this would taste great with a mixture of basil and oregano.)
1/4 cup crumbled feta
Vinaigrette Ingredients:
1/2 tsp. garlic puree or finely minced garlic
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 T fresh lemon juice
1 T shallots or red onion, finely minced
1/2 tsp. ground cumin (freshly toasted and ground cumin seeds are best, but ground cumin will work)
pinch Aleppo Pepper (or use cayenne pepper)
1/2 tsp. Spike Seasoning (optional, but highly recommended)
3 T extra-virgin olive oil
Preheat gas or charcoal barbecue grill to medium high. (You can only hold your hand there for 2-3 seconds at that heat.)
Brush eggplant with olive oil on both sides. For criss-cross grill marks, grill 4-5 minutes on first side, then rotate and cook 3-4 minutes more. Turn and cook about 7-8 minutes more on second side. I cooked my eggplant pieces just under 15 minutes total cooking time. Actual cooking time will depend on how hot your grill is and the temperature and thickness of the eggplant. Watch it carefully the last five minutes of cooking time and rotate pieces so they are evenly browned.
To serve, arrange grilled eggplant slices on serving platter, drizzle vinaigrette over, then top with crumbled feta and herbs.

Joan Collins is blasting Shirley Jones' new memoir, saying it makes a false claim that a dinner date involving Jones, Collins and their husbands nearly turned into a sex romp.
Collins is particularly incensed that Jones wrote in her new book that Collins' husband suggested all four of them get naked and watch porn together.
Just in case you're feeling a bit creeped-out about that, know that this was back in the '60s.
Collins is responding to a segment in "Shirley Jones: A Memoir," about the first time Jones, 79, and Collins, 80, met. According to the book, Jones and Jack Cassidy were at the home of Collins and her husband Tony Newley for dinner, after which Newley suggested they all get naked and watch porn together.
"It was clear what Tony was leading up to -- swinging," wrote Jones, who said she turned down the offer.
According to TMZ, former "Dynasty" star Collins sent Jones a cease and desist letter, demanding her new book be removed from stores everywhere. Jones supposedly isn't backing down. She says the story is true and she's standing by it.

Novell recently signed an agreement with Microsoft. From the press release:
Under the patent agreement, both companies will make up-front payments in exchange for a release from any potential liability for use of each others patented intellectual property, with a net balancing payment from Microsoft to Novell reflecting the larger applicable volume of Microsoft's product shipments. Novell will also make running royalty payments based on a percentage of its revenues from open source products.
A day later, Ballmer came out with this statement:
The distributors of other versions of Linux cannot assure their customers that Microsoft won't sue for patent infringement. "If a customer says, 'Look, do we have liability for the use of your patented work?' Essentially, If you're using non-SUSE Linux, then I'd say the answer is yes," Ballmer said.
I guess I should be angry at Novell. However, I realise that companies are actually just people doing their jobs. This is why I strongly think that the Novell Manager who dealt with the agreement with Microsoft should be sacked. Novel should do so as soon as physically possible - every day makes it worse.
I will call this not-so-bright manager "John".
I used to have respect for Novell. I was always a little unsure about them, but their fight against SCO showed Novell's good side. Then, I guess John came along, and thought in his ignorance that he was doing something good, and compromised Novell possibly beyond repair.
John, listen carefully: Microsoft doesn't make a deal with anybody - and I mean anybody - unless the final goal is to send the other party bankrupt; Microsoft will scheme, have "secret plans", misuse whatever power or technology you provide them, and eventually crush you. If you don't believe me, please allow me to refresh your memory - or maybe just tell you the story straight out. Since I can't possibly list every single fishy episode, I will just pick a few.
Microsoft signed a contract with IBM: they will never ever be able to release their own operating system; and due to this, they will be able to "share resources" with IBM in order to release OS/2. Microsoft then releases Windows 3.0. They call it an "Operating Environment". The contract was disputed over the meaning of the term "operating system". IBM didn't fight very well, and they lost. Microsoft walked away with a lot of IBM's code, sold it as "Windows", and made tons of money.
Spyglass develops Spyglass Mosaic, a fantastic internet browser; to do so, Spyglass licenses NCSA's source code, but never used it.
Microsoft needed a browser. So, they licensed Spyglass' code, with this arrangement: Spyglass will get a small quarterly fee, and a portion of the revenues for IE's sale.
The contract didn't talk about a minimum price set for Internet Explorer.
Microsoft gave away Internet Explorer for free -- they obviously worked out that a small percentage of zero is zero.
Eventually, Microsoft and Spyglass made up. I am sure Spyglass hoped for a much better return.Microsoft never mentions Spyglass in their page about Internet Explorer's history. Nice one.
Sendo teams up with Microsoft. Microsoft apparently bought 10% of Sendo, and then walked away with Sendo's customers and technology. From the court's proceedings:
"Sendo alleges that Microsoft, which invested $12 million in the handset firm for a minority stake of about 10 percent, was struggling to break into the wireless industry, and that the software firm "recognized Sendo had the technology and experience it lacked to quickly penetrate this lucrative new market. As such, Microsoft set about through a secret plan ('The Secret Plan') to obtain that technology and know-how from Sendo with the false promises that Microsoft would co-develop, help finance, and the be the 'go to market' partner for Sendo's 2.5G Smartphone, the Z100."
For more information, you can read this article and this other article.
Dear John, do you see a pattern?
John, the list can go on, and on, and on, and on.
In every single case, you'll see this story repeated:
- a company is convinced by Microsoft that they are offering a once in a lifetime deal;
- the whole world pays for the mistakee;
- the "single company" goes bankrupt
So, John, I am sure you had the best of intentions, but please, please just go away. If I were Novell's boss, I would sack you in no time and would try to get the contract cancelled. If you are indeed Novell's boss, congratulations: you are about to disappear, and we will need to work hard and pick up the pieces.
Free Software Magazine's readers: please contribute to this page with more of Microsoft's exploits, especially those ones where a well-meaning company is pushed out of existence by Microsoft's tactics.
It's just business
It's all for the good of their "customers" and their "shareholders" ... isn't it ?
At least that's what their smiling faces suggested.
Who's playing whom?
This is certainly one possible interpretation, but I think we should at least consider another perspective.
You can summarise the article in a few words...
..."Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it"
Said by . . .
Jorge Ruiz de Santayana, known in the US during his stint at UCLA (or was it Stanford?), as George Santayana.
Glad you remember.
The person you speak of has a name
Let's call this not so bright manager 'X' "Nat" rather than "John".
The manager has a name
Let's call Manager 'X' "Nat".
Having met that particular Manager X at a GNOME developer conference once this is not so surprising. Manager X spent time telling people how much money he personally made off the Ximian sale to Novell. While this was a hackers conference, he offered a slick marketing presentation on Ximian and the Sun Java Desktop and why every GNOME hacker should care first about how to make Ximian more successful, for that (and his personal fortunes) he told us was the definition of the success of GNOME as a project. Otherwise he showed contempt for everyone involved for the rest of the conference, including GNOME hackers, the sponsoring organization, and especially for Mr. Stallman, who also attended that particular GNOME developer's conference.
I'd like to interview you

Responding to these anonymous insults
Hi, I'm Nat Friedman.
The statements made about me in this anonymous comment are not true. I have never marketed Sun Java Desktop nor Ximian at a GNOME developer conference. I don't think I've ever marketed the Sun Java Desktop at all, in fact :-). And I have nothing but respect and gratitude for all the fantastic work that's been done by free software developers around the world.

The Zune
Microsoft had an agreement with Creative, and they now have their own music player in direct competition.
"After a period of "love and friendship", Novell will probably have the same fate other partners of Microsoft had in the past. Zune is one example: from former ally, Creative turned to rival, while MTV has its days numbered with its URGE joint venture, since MS launched a separate music download service for its MP3."

Never trust Microsoft?
Microsoft's Acquisitions
See this link for a list of Microsoft's many acquisitions.
Horrible Timing
Just as Suse was starting to give MS a run for their money and the pressure of the movement to OpenDocument Format has MS scrambeling like crazy, what a horrible deal with such bad timing by Novell.
What's in Microsoft's best interest here?
My first reaction is that this was a move against Red Hat and an attempt to keep the Linux market fragmented and I wondered why they didn't promote Ubuntu but then I heard that Novell had some ammo against MS. I think a lot of us would like to see Novell burn for this but it's hard to guess how this will work out. They can't possibly think Microsoft has good intentions.
Novell and DR-DOS
Microsoft announced its 'Advanced Server' back in the very early 1990s and that 'MS might not support Netware' in its next release of DOS. Novell's reaction was to buy DRI in order to be able to supply DR-DOS 6 as the client OS when MS DOS blocked Netware.
MS and Novell then made an agreement that Novell would not actively market DR-DOS and would not include bundled DR-DOS licences with Netware and MS would continue to supply Netware clients with MS-DOS. Effectively this killed DR-DOS and NW-DOS, and all the other DRI products.
MS then released a version of Advanced Server that would do connection sharing so that 100 users could access a 25 user Netware licence via shared connections. Potentially this reduced Novell's revenue by 75%.
You'd think Novell has learnt.

bad move for novell
please contribute
lets not forget the eolas debacle
and there's always stac
how about embracing and extending symantec?
or another?
Then shit goes on and on. Novell isn't going to be any different.
Another victim of Microsoft flim flamming was Sybase
Recall Sybase cut a deal with Microsoft-- the deal, among
other things, involved a joint effort to port Sybase's
SQL Server to the Win32 platform. In the deal MS obtained
rights to the ported code. The next thing you know, MS SQL Server
comes out and Sybase is told to drop dead.
If they could fix Win32 security exploits as shrewdly as
they negotiate joint business deals, black hat hackers would
be extinct.
Sad to see SuSE/Novell die
Sad that Novell and the SuSE Linux are going to disappear ;-(
I was just getting used to them...
Microsoft and the Dreamcast
Remember the Sega Dreamcast? Microsoft sure does. Microsoft made a deal a long time ago with Sega to create the Dreamcast. The Dreamcast would run on Windows CE and Microsoft would help it to be successful.
The Dreamcast came out too early and it bombed. Sega pulled completely out of the console market, relegating themselves to just being a game publisher. Then along came the X-Box.
Do you have an old Dreamcast laying around? I do. If you do too, take a look at the controller. What do you see. That's right, it looks almost exactly like the X-Box controller, right down to the button configuration and button color scheme. And of course, the X-Box also runs on Windows.
So, Microsoft partnered with Sega and learned all of their console gaming technology, using the Dreamcast both as something to learn from and as something to test their theories on, and then they helped Sega bring it to market too early so it would fail. When it inevitably did, they took everything they learned and made their own console system.
History is the past
If you want to live in the past you will believe what is said. If you want to live influenced by the past, you will live sucessfully without the mistakes of the past. I would venture to say this "relationship" and that's about all we can call it, is INFORMED by the past and those mistakes will not happen, however, one cannot predict the future especially if they live in the past.
I'd call the guy "ron", not "John" (note the lower case "r")
I'd call the guy "ron", not "John" (note the lower case "r").
"John" is just a too common name, isn't it?
well...if they cared what
well...if they cared what thought about the deal, they would probably have asked you already wouldn't they? Get over it jimbo...
Nobody here to tell what happened to Borland/Inprise/Borland?
what u talking about
Microsoft could steal the code regardless of the Novell deal since Linux is open source they don't need the deal in order to steal it :P
A different point of view
Novell is not SCO. You be the judge...
PS: In case you wonder... I utterly, absolutely, completely agree with Tony
Samba Team Asks Novell to Reconsider

Jaws of victory
It is funny that no matter who is running Novell, and there have been quite a few since the days of Ray Noorda, they have always been able to snatch defeat from the 'jaws of victory'.
Engineering-wise, Novell was always brilliant, but management-wise they always take the wrong choice, as examples, ferret - 3D browser, circa early 90's, internal Linux team circa early 90's and WordPerfect buy-out to get into a pissing contest with Bill, when they should have concentrated on Web and HTTP, serving up files which NetWare did very well and efficiently.
As for the decision to drop development of tools in approx 94 resulting in half-measures for a 'C' debugger, you'd wonder what kool-aid they were drinking.
Lernout & Hauspie...
another set of fools who trusted Microsoft when they did a technology swap deal...

It is an interesting term, though. "Regular homosexuals" -- perhaps the irregular ones don't have much fashion sense, or only support a few of the items on the Gay Agenda, while recusing themselves from the rest. I'll put Hal Duncan on the case.
Sssh! Don't blow our cover, guys. Didn't you get the memo? See, we're beaming the homosexuals into homes disguised as regular guys. At first the families'll just think, like, this guy, Joe, he's good folks... gets you a beer from the fridge while he's getting one for himself... stands out on the porch to smoke when your parents are visiting... can hold his own in a conversation about the New Jersey Devils... but before they know it their sons will be wearing lipstick, their dogs will be wearing diamonte collars and their neighbours will be complaining about the pounding techno music in the wee hours of the morning.ReplyDelete

A Marietta man confronted with a homeowner with a gun while trying to steal scrap items in Lowell was sentenced Wednesday in Washington County Common Pleas Court to 34 days in jail.
Gerald R. Erb, 42, pleaded guilty May 24 to breaking and entering, a fifth-degree felony.
Erb and 34-year-old Jamie A. Hoy, both of 149 Warner St., were allegedly loading property from a Lowell garage into their vehicle on Sept. 21 when the home's owner came into the garage and confronted the couple with a gun, said Washington County Assistant Prosecutor Amy Graham.
Article Photos
JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Gerald Erb, left, of Marietta, sits with attorney Nancy Brum in Washington County Common Pleas Court Wednesday as he is sentenced to serve 30 days in the Washington County Jail for breaking and entering. A Lowell resident confronted Erb and an accomplice as they were loading scrap items from the resident's garage into their vehicle in September.
"He came out with a gun and made them unload it all," said Graham.
The resident of the Ohio 60 home, Richard Tingler, had parked his vehicle behind his home that day and did not answer when Erb and Hoy knocked on the door because his home had been burglarized the previous day.
"He was home waiting with a gun," Graham said.
Erb and Hoy were able to get away when Tingler went to answer his phone, but he had already taken down their license plate.
The two were each originally indicted on a third-degree felony count of attempted burglary.
Erb was allowed to plead guilty to a reduced charge and charges against Hoy were dropped as part of a plea agreement that would guarantee some restitution for Tingler for the previous day's theft.
Erb and Hoy were suspects in that theft, said Graham, but it would be hard to prove they were the culprits.
The $395.89 restitution figure came from the amount Erb had received scrapping the suspected stolen items at a local scrap yard, said Graham.
"I have a receipt from the local scrap yard and that's how much (Erb) got," she said.
On top of the restitution, Erb was ordered to spend 34 days in the Washington County Jail with credit for four days served.
However, Erb's attorney Nancy Brum asked that he be allowed to begin his sentence Friday or Monday.
"His father is having prostate surgery (Thursday) here at Marietta Memorial Hospital. We'd ask to delay it just so he can be present at his father's surgery," she said.
Graham did not object and Washington County Common Pleas Court Judge Randall Burnworth ordered Erb report to the jail Friday evening.
Erb will also be subject to three years of community control sanctions and will be required to undergo evaluation for the court's "Thinking For A Change" program, a cognitive behavioral change program developed by The National Institute of Corrections.

Man allegedly takes pics up skirt
Published: Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 7:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 11:00 a.m.
A restaurant customer admitted to taking photos under a woman's skirt while he was behind her in line, deputies said.
Jeremy Perry, 28, 10960 La. 1, Lockport, was arrested Tuesday after the Lafourche Sheriff's Office received a complaint Monday afternoon. While Perry was at a Subway on La. 3235 in Galliano, he bent down and took the photos without the woman's knowledge, deputies said. Perry showed the photos to several people at the restaurant after the woman left, and he sent the photo electronically to another person.
Perry is charged with video voyeurism. He was released from the Lafourche Parish jail on a $5,000 bond.

Local hospitals to pay millions in Medicare fraud settlement
Published: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 2:22 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 6:27 p.m.
Doctors Hospital of Sarasota and Fawcett Memorial Hospital in Port Charlotte, both owned by for-profit giant HCA, are two of 55 hospitals in 21 states ordered to pay a total of $34 million in Medicare fraud, the U.S. Justice Department said Tuesday.
The Southwest Florida hospitals that have agreed to pay under a settlement of a Medicare fraud case involving a back procedure:
Doctors Hospital of Sarasota, Sarasota
Fawcett Memorial Hospital, Port Charlotte
Mease Countryside Hospital, Safety Harbor
Mease Dunedin Hospital, Dunedin
Morton Plant Hospital, Clearwater
Morton Plant North Bay Hospital, New Port Richey
Southwest Florida Regional Medical Center, Fort Myers
An earlier version of this story incorrectly listed the number of HCA-owned hospitals in the Florida part of the settlement. There are nine hospitals.
The whistleblower settlement involved a back procedure called a kyphoplasty. According to a 2008 lawsuit, the hospitals knowingly billed Medicare for the minimally invasive procedure as a more costly inpatient treatment, when it can be completed as an outpatient procedure.
Kyphoplasty is used to treat spinal compression fractures that can occur with osteoporosis. A balloon device pumps up the compressed vertebra, and then bone cement is injected into the cavity after the balloon is removed. Generally patients are up and about within a few hours.
Nine HCA-owned hospitals in Florida have agreed to pay $7.4 million in the settlement, according to law firm Phillips & Cohen of Washington, D.C. Also settling, for $2.37 million, are four hospitals affiliated with Morton Plant Mease BayCare Health System in the Tampa Bay area.
"This isn't a case of simple paperwork errors or innocent misunderstanding of Medicare rules," said Tim McCormack, a lawyer with Phillips & Cohen, which represented the two whistleblowing Kyphon employees. "Hospitals across the country misrepresented the type of treatment they provided to patients so they could bill Medicare for expensive inpatient stays."
Calls to local HCA hospitals were referred to HCA's corporate office in Nashville.
"We are pleased to see new clarification of industry care standards, which help physicians make decisions regarding kyphoplasty patients, and we are confident as a result that this issue has been resolved," said Ed Fishbough, HCA corporate affairs, in a prepared statement.
The settlement is part of an ongoing case accusing Kyphon, now owned by Medtronic Spine, of deliberately counseling hospitals to perform the procedures as outpatient in order to make more money.
Over the past couple of years, more than 100 hospitals nationwide have reached settlements of about $75 million in the case.
"Whenever hospitals knowingly overcharge Medicare, critically needed resources are wasted and health costs are driven up," said Daniel R. Levinson, Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in a news release Tuesday.
It is not the first time HCA has been penalized for Medicare fraud.
Before becoming governor of Florida, Rick Scott was forced to step down as CEO of Columbia/HCA, which he helped start, as a result of a federal investigation that resulted in $1.7 billion in fines.

Hatching a cleverly conceived plot to continue her relationship with Jenny Craig, or Weight Watchers, or whatever, Jessica Simpson is reportedly pregnant again.
Seven months after giving birth to daughter Maxwell Drew Johnson, the singer is once again knocked up, according to Us Weekly.
"It definitely wasn't planned. But yes, Jessica is pregnant again," a source reveals to Us. The surprise baby-to-be is the second for Simpson and her fiance, former San Francisco 49ers tight end Eric Johnson.
Him again? He sure hit the fertility jackpot.
A rep for Simpson had no comment. Which is basically the same as hanging a sign outside the office, screaming "CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEXT JENNY CRAIG CONTRACT, JESSICA SIMPSON!"
Simpson, as you may have figured out, made a lot of money from Jenny Craig, losing 70 pounds of post-baby weight. Now guess what she gets to do? That's right -- time to pull a stool up to the buffet.
Engaged for the past two years, Simpson, 32, and Johnson, 33, welcomed Maxwell -- a whopping 9-pound, 13-ounce bundle of joy -- on May 1.
"Motherhood is a dream," Simpson told Katie Couric in September. "It really is absolutely amazing."
I'll bet it's a dream ... when you have enough money to pay someone to get up in the middle of the night to deal with the diaper-bombs.
