4 Simple Ways to Save
Cutting your spending doesn't mean you have to sacrifice a lot. There are savings out there if you just pay attention.
I watch a reality show called "Extreme Couponing," in which shoppers collect coupons to drastically reduce their grocery bills. Most of the couponers have shelves full of food and groceries in the garage or pantry with savings amounting to thousands of dollars.

What was your source for this crocheting project?

Name of website or photo Based on "Robin's Onesie" pattern
So, so, very nice! God bless you!
I would like more info on this dress. In 2009 my daughter was born sleeping at 39 weeks. We were very fortunate to have received a hand knit sweater and hat that the hospital staff brought her to us in along with a crocheted blanket. I still have these. I was making my neice a baby blanket this past month and it got me thinking about making some blankets to donate to the local hospitals for other stillborns. I do not know how to knit so I was sad that I couldn't also do that, but when I found this site I saw several ideas that I am going to work on making for donations. The website for the booties was perfect, but I don't understand your instructions for the dress. When I click pattern it takes me to a different website that does not have any patterns on it. Thanks so very much!!! And from someone who has been there, these are CHERISHED!!!!
Dear Jennjoyne, Please accept my sincere sympathy on your loss. I had 5 miscarriages but never held them or knew what they were - the last was 14 weeks. I am sorry the instructions for the dress were not clear for you. I used the top from the onesie pattern for the bodice, made the open front, the back (left open), increased the number of stitches on the next row and crocheted the shell skirt on to that. The link to the pattern is http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/onesie-robin.html. Hope this helps. Take care and God Bless. Irene.

As long as you don't start losing muscle.
So you are 5'3" and your goal calories are 1800 a day? I can't reach that goal either. I'm 5'3" and 135lbs. I tend to fall in the range of about 900+-1700 with 1700 being a day of generous eating and 900+ being a day of no appetite and a few missed meals (don't go there often, but I do sometimes go there). Remember, when you have a lot of body fat and your calories are low, your body will make up for any deficit by consuming body fat. I assume that is your true goal.

Market analysts said that a recent corporate announcement will likely involve the injection of a medical or education property into Sunway Real Estate Investment Trust (Sunway REIT).
Sunway Bhd is set to inject more assets into Sunway REIT, with the intended properties likely to be medical or educational properties owned by the former.
Market observers noted that in August, chief financial officer Wai Sow Fun of Sunway REIT Management Sdn Bhd had named four properties - Sunway University, Monash University Sunway, Sunway Giza and Sunway Medical Centre - as candidates to be injected into the trust.
Currently, Sunway REIT comprises of 11 properties, of which four are retail assets, four are hotels and three are office buildings.
Wai added that Sunway REIT was looking to acquire third-party assets in key growth cities in Malaysia, including Klang Valley, Johor and Sabah. These would most likely be retail or mixed-use developments.
"When the time is right and when the price is right, we will make the acquisition," she said.
Market watchers describe Sunway REIT, the second-largest Malaysian REIT by market capitalisation and the leader by assets, as having the best potential for the addition of future properties, compared to other REITs.
CIMB Research said that Sunway has a pipeline of properties worth RM 3 billion completed or under construction that could be added to Sunway REIT. The brokerage has picked Sunway REIT as the top choice in the sector.
"Sunway REIT will try its best to acquire new assets this year in order to increase its asset size. It is targeting to increase its asset value by 51% from RM 4.6 billion to RM 7 billion in three to five years' time," said CIMB in a report in August.
As at 30 June, Sunway REIT had cash and equivalents of RM 25.8 million, with RM 4.6 billion in total assets. The trust's gearing was recorded at 35%, meaning that the company had comfortable headroom to raise its leverage for more property acquisitions before reaching the legal limit of 50%.

Pioneer reports big oil and gas production gains
Pioneer Natural Resources, the Irving-based oil and gas driller, reported double digit production gains in the first quarter, pushing its stock price up 6 percent by midday Thursday.
Oil production was up 38 percent from a year ago, driven by continued expanded drilling in the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford formations. Natural gas production increased four percent.
And those numbers are not likely to change anytime soon, said Mark Hanson, an analyst with the financial research firm MorningStar.
"They have large acreage position in West Texas. They're one of the biggest landholders out there," he said. "Things are looking pretty good for Pioneer right now."
But Pioneer reported profits of $108.7 million, down more than 50 percent from a year ago.
That stemmed from a reported $42.2 million loss in derivatives trading, a more than $130 million swing from a year ago when Pioneer reported a first quarter profit of $221 million.
But in investors' minds those losses are immaterial to the overall health of the company, Hanson said.
"On its face it's a hit to profitability, but in reality it really doesn't impact cash flow," he said. "Wall Street seems to agree."

The Wailuku Main Street Association appreciates Council Member Mike Victorino's response to a loaded question asked of him at a Kula Community Association forum.
Victorino was questioned about the council's alleged lack of oversight of nonprofits receiving county grants in light of the recent allegations about WMSA. The council member responded that grants to nonprofits often leverage county grant money to produce much more value than would be achieved by the county acting alone.
A county expert estimated WMSA provides a return on investment of at least twice the value of county money granted to our 27-year-old organization. In other words, for every dollar granted WMSA, the county receives more than $2 of value.
WMSA will respond to unfounded allegations against us when we present our case to an objective Maui judge. We have been informed that we will have our day in court, and we are working on detailed responses to all allegations. We greatly appreciate the council member's willingness to keep on open mind until we have had our opportunity to respond.
WMSA has not received fair treatment from Maui newspapers nor the state's deputy attorney general. Both have relied on the unsworn testimony of an individual of questionable character who previously caused great turmoil during the Sprint tower controversy when serving Haiku Community Association chairman.
We appreciate those willing to wait for both sides of the story before casting judgment.

House Speaker Bobby Harrell's former chief of staff played a role in 2006 when the Charleston Republican was seeking approval for his drug repackaging business, according to an email from a former state official.
In a recently released May 2006 email, a former chairman of the S.C. Board of Pharmacy wrote that former chief of staff Don Hottel was like Harrell, very upset when the pair were told by the board that Harrell's company would need a repackaging permit from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The former chairman, Bobby Bradham, sent the email to fellow board members. Bradham wrote that Hottel had scheduled a phone conference with Harrell, Bradham and a Pharmacy Board official for that May afternoon.
Hottel, now an assistant House clerk, served as chief of staff in Harrell's office from 2005-06.
In the same email, Bradham also wrote that Harrell and Hottel (whose name Bradham misspelled) had asked for the names and phone numbers for each pharmacy board member. Bradham told board members they should be hearing from the duo.
State law bars officials from knowingly using their office to benefit themselves financially. The prohibition does not extend to "the incidental use of public materials, personnel, or equipment ... that does not result in additional public expense."
Bradham's email was included in correspondence related to Harrell's Palmetto State Pharmaceuticals released by the S.C. Policy Council last month. The council's leader has said the correspondence raises questions about whether Harrell used his office to benefit his business.
Bradham did not respond to more than a half-dozen requests for comment from The Post and Courier. Other 2006 Pharmacy Board members either declined comment or said they could not remember how the issue with Harrell's company unfolded in 2006.
Harrell said last month in response to the release by the Policy Council that he did not seek special treatment from the state, and that he was merely seeking information from the state on how to run the company.
Hottel declined an interview request from the newspaper, instead directing all questions to Harrell's office. Harrell's spokesman Greg Foster said in an email that he talked with Hottel about Bradham's email and showed him a copy of it. But Hottel had no recollection of the issue that was discussed in the message and did not recall emailing, talking or meeting with Bradham, Foster wrote.

Reviews for BRAC
Over the many decades I've been giving to charities, I've learned a lot through both positive and negative experiences. Consequently, I've become pretty good at ferreting out the better charities to give to. Every year I insist on speaking with the highest ranking executive of every charity I donate to, then I vet the information I receive over the net for veracity. I've been extremely pleased with BRAC and have doubled my annual donation and doubled that again. Susan Davis, is a big reason for those increases. As a business person, it is very important for me to know that a value priced executive is in charge. Susan provides that level of confidence, and is a very positive reflection of the entire BRAC team. TF

I had the opportunity to intern at BRAC USA this summer and it has been a wonderful experience. It is enthralling to see how many people BRAC has been able to reach out to and make a difference in their lives. BRAC has been able to come with innovative solutions to eradicate ultra poverty, empower women and adolescents, provide education and healthcare and so much more. More importantly, these solutions are scale-able, sustainable and effective.
Additionally, BRAC USA is a tight-knit community with friendly, extremely talented people with an inspiring and charismatic leader to match.

I am currently interning with BRAC USA and just as many others have echoed, BRAC has a clear vision of what key problems they plan to address in the world. BRAC is innovative and collaborative. They seem to have found a problem in society with a solution that has spread like wildfire in hopes of eradicating ultra poverty as well as empowering women and girls, providing education and so much more.

Dear susan
thanks very much for sharing this information with me.I would like to comment BRAC for this wonderful work done.I went to Bangladesh to understudy the brac TUP/SUP program in September 2010 and i got to know the good work brac has done to bring people out of ultra poverty.
The Innovation for poverty action and the Presbyterian Agricultural service-Northern Ghana is implementing this program called Graduating from ultra poverty (GUP). we are currently conducting baseline survey on the clients selected to participate in the program.
finally i will want to commend brac for this great achievements and hope that many countries including Ghana could benefit from this health program.

I worked as a summer intern in summer of 09' for MANOSHI- MNCH maternal and neonatal health project in urban slums of Dhaka.My 'light-bulb' moment in public health came inside a small hut in a crowded Bangladeshi slum as I watched a group of women-all undereducated slum dwellers- help a woman give birth to a healthy baby girl. All they used for what I once thought as a complicated surgical procedure was a sterile scalpel, piece of thread, some gauze, a plastic sheet and incessant religious chants. This moment brought into stark reality the positive impact this community-based approach have and will continue to have in reducing high maternal and neonatal mortality rates in Bangladesh. During my in-depth interviews, regional meetings and personal encounters with Bangladeshi health workers and slum inhabitants, I learned how community-based health can pave a path not only to upgrade living standards but also to safeguard human rights and gender equality. BRAC has done a highly commendable job in reaching and serving these underpriviledged women and thier families and creating a healthier generation amidst extraordinary levels of poverty. At MANOSHI what is saw was women's empowerment I have read in books and policy reports, put into action. I wish BRAC-Bangladesh and its staff more and more strength to carry out thier wonderful work in eliminating poverty, safeguarding human rights and empowering women and younger generations in Bangladesh!

I became a volunteer through BRAC USA after four years of experience in Investment Banking and Private Equity investing. This experience in providing financial, strategic and management support to middle market and entrepreneurial businesses helped lay the ground work for my interest in the support and development of social enterprises, particularly in the developing world. BRAC represents a pioneer in the field and stands as the world's' most successful and diversified social enterprise development organization as demonstrated by the range of program support enterprises and commercial projects it has established over the last 30 years. Each enterprise is aimed at providing its beneficiaries with high quality inputs and market access at fair prices. Additionally, any profit that is generated through commercial ventures such as BRAC Dairy and Aarong retail stores is reinvested into the organization to support programs in education, health, social development and disaster relief. Over a three month period I volunteered to work in Bangladesh. As a volunteer I visited many of BRAC's social enterprises and met with the talented and dedicated management teams to gain a better understanding of the operations, future initiatives and track record of social development. I feel very fortunate to have been provided this opportunity by BRAC as it was a unique experience to learn more about BRAC's pioneering social business model. It is a model that demonstrates the efficiency, growth and scale of high performing social enterprises and helps define the true potential of corporate social impact. As BRAC's Managing Director of Enterprises and former commercial banking executive, Mr. Rumee Ali told me on my first day, the commercial world has a lot to learn about the true meaning of "corporate responsibility," an often used but vaguely defined and applied buzzword that I gained more appreciation and admiration for with each day at BRAC.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Bangladesh and Uganda, two of the major areas where the organization operates. Most importantly I spent time visiting with the beneficiaries of BRAC's education, microfinance, health and other development programs.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
increase the number of countries where the organization operates. As of today the organization operates a number of countries in Africa and South Asia, but the success of the organization should be applied to even more countries with citizens in need.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the opportunity to visit the programs and meet the beneficiaries in person. Specifically, I traveled to Bangladesh and Uganda.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
the most dedicated and selfless individuals I haver ever met. Everyone was also extremely hospitable and very helpful to ensure my experience was nothing short of amazing.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
It could invest in a program that would ultimately become self-sustainable and scalable to reach millions of people in need. That is what BRAC does best.
Ways to make it better...
I had more time to spend visiting the programs and volunteering my skills to support the organization.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
to manage its growth. It is an organization that was started to help Bangladesh recover from the war of independence and now aims to help fight poverty around the world.
One thing I'd also say is that...
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every month
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Marlin Azucena Dean, 19, was arrested Saturday in Harlem. Details of the incident had not been released Sunday afternoon.
Scott Dean, who was convicted in December of molesting another of his adopted teen daughters, was denied a new trial in February.
Allegations about Dean came to light when Marlin ran away from home and was later found in Mexico. In a phone conversation with investigators, she said Dean had tried to have sex with her. She later recanted.
She was being held Sunday in the Columbia County Detention Center. No bond had been set.

Present-day scholars in medical history are devoting more and more time to conceptual development in medicine and science, or to the relation of medicine to social and political background, or to the psychological aspects of the physician. But there is still ample room for additional work in the more traditional biographical format and in what may be characterized as bio-bibliography.
A new series of biographical studies is now appearing in France, edited by Professor Huard. The first volume contains essays on four 18th-century physicians. The first three biographies are by Huard and Imbault-Huart. They write about Jean Astruc (1684-1766), a physician best known for his work on venereal diseases but a prolific writer on other medical subjects; Antoine Louis (1723-1792), a surgeon who advanced surgical technique, wrote extensively on many surgical topics, and helped to establish the discipline of forensic medicine; and Pierre Desault (1738-1795), an influential surgeon best known

Free Caregivers Conference Planned for March 30 at UMM
MACHIAS, Maine – Providing resources and expert advice to family caregivers will be the focus of a free one-day conference scheduled for March 30 at the University of Maine at Machias.
The event, which is open to caregivers and their families, begins at 8 a.m. on Friday, March 30. "Caregivers Conference: For Those Who Care For The Ones They Love" is being coordinated by UMM's Office of Community Services.
Keynote speaker for the conference will be Marjorie Withers, director of the Community Caring Collaborative, a network of tribal, state, and community agencies and members that work for the care of infants, young children, and their families who are at risk due to multiple factors. A mental health professional for more than 32 years, Withers' passion is working with families, infants, and children to increase wellness and reduce risk factors specifically in rural areas and tribal communities by helping to develop coping skills and supports. She is also an experienced caretaker, who helped care for her parents and niece in the final years of their lives.
Other session speakers will include Barbara Barnett, director of Down East Hospice; Claire Cullinane, retired special education teacher; and Lisa King, caregiver support specialist for the Eastern Area Agency on Aging and social services director/admissions coordinator at the Maine Veterans' Home in Machias. All conference speakers have had experience working with caregivers or providing direct care for family members.
The event will also include a resource fair that will highlight the work of area agencies and the resources that are available to caregivers. Exhibitors scheduled to attend include the Eastern Area Agency on Aging, University of Maine Cooperative Extension's Senior Companion Program, Washington-Hancock Community Agency, Oceanview Nursing and Residential Care, Living Innovations, and the Maine Veterans' Home of Machias.
"Caregivers need to know that support and resources are available in the community," says event organizer Naida Pennell, coordinator of community services at UMM. "This conference will benefit both current caregivers and those who expect to care for family members in the future."
For more information or to register for the free conference, contact Naida Pennell at 255-1289 or firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also REGISTER ONLINE. The conference registration deadline is March 15. Local agencies interested in being an exhibitor are encouraged to contact Pennell as soon as possible due to the limited space available.
The conference is co-sponsored by UMM, Aramark Corporation, and the Eastern Area Agency on Aging through the Weinberg Foundation Grant for Caregiving, and supported by Psychology & Community Studies students from the PSY 324 Lifespan II and BEH 450 Senior Project courses.

Graduate Minor in Prevention Science
Prevention science is the scientific study of systematic efforts to reduce the incidence of unhealthy or maladaptive behavior, and to promote health and adaptive behavior in populations across the life span through designing and evaluating interventions, and utilizing knowledge about them more strategically.
The fundamental assumption of the prevention science minor is that future researchers and scholars will be most able to meet the challenges and changes occurring in society and in their chosen professions and disciplines if their training is comprehensive and transdisciplinary.
Students will be expected to select one of the following Areas of Concentration as a major emphasis:
1. Promotion of Mental Health and Well-being Across the Life Span
A. Promotion of Children's Mental Health and Well-being
This focus addresses how child and adolescent mental health affect human and family development in the context of education, health, community, and society; as well as how family development affects the mental health and well-being of children (9 elective courses identified).
B. Promotion of Adult Mental Health and Well-being
This focus will address on the promotion of adult mental health and well-being throughout the life course, including individuals and groups, with and without special mental health needs. The affect of adult mental health on human and multi-generational family development in the context of community and society is included (9 elective courses identified).
C. Integrated Life Span
D. Student selected integration of foci (a) and (b).
2. Interventions in Education, Health, and Social Services
The design, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of a variety of programs in education, health, and social welfare are high priorities today and this should be reflected in training. School-based programs are increasingly viewed as key strategies of educational reform. Social and health service delivery to children, families, and adults are undergoing substantial innovation. 9 elective courses identified).
3. Social Policy
This concentration addresses how social policies and issues affect human and family behavior across the life course. Substantive areas include, among others, child care, poverty, welfare reform, school reform, and health-care reform. An emphasis is given to large-scale policies and programs as well as dissemination and use (8 elective courses identified).
4. Family and Community Studies
How family and community contexts and processes affect individuals is a key issue for the development and analysis of preventive interventions, and for basic research on families and communities. Further, family and community-based programs also are central to addressing the myriad of social problems and issues. The relation between family development and other major social contexts such as neighborhoods, communities, and service systems will be important aspects of this focus area (7 elective courses identified).
5. Methodology
An ever-expanding number of quantitative and qualitative methods are available for conducting prevention and intervention research. Basic and advanced statistical and methodological training are essential to high-quality graduate training. Gaining understanding and experience in conducting research in field settings is key to developing methodological skills. Some topics to be covered in this focus area include evaluation, statistical modeling, benefit-cost analysis, meta-analysis, and ethnography (15 elective courses identified).
6. Individualized Concentration
This concentration will enable students to individualize their emphasis within the minor by combining electives from areas of concentration 1 – 5 to meet their individual educational needs.
Master's students must complete the following 9 credits:
- PREV 8001 - Introduction to Prevention Science (3 credits)
- 6 additional credits of elective courses from the student's area of concentration, in consultation with the program director.
- Elective course options (PDF)
Doctoral students must complete the following 13 credits:
- PREV 8001 - Introduction to Prevention Science (3 credits)
- PREV 8005 - Prevention Science Capstone Course (1 credit)
- 9 additional credits of elective courses from the student's area of concentration, in consultation with the program director.
- Elective course options (PDF)

• In this study we analyze the results of the use of a predictive index to decide whether to perform abdominal reoperation in the event of septic complications. During a 5-year period, a population of 542 critically ill patients received major abdominal surgery. Patients were divided into two groups: (1) the control group, for which the decision to reoperate was made routinely, based on clinical consensus of the medical team; and (2) the Abdominal Reoperation Predictive Index group, for which the decision to reoperate was made with the help of a mathematical index involving eight mainly clinical variables. The use of Abdominal Reoperation Predictive Index enabled mortality among patients undergoing reoperation to be lowered, the time elapsing between the first operation and relaparotomy to be reduced, and the length of stay in the intensive care unit to be shortened. We conclude that the systematic application of an index, without disregarding clinical judgment, allows the quality of attention to be improved, cost to be lowered, and the level of conflicts generated by the difficult decision to perform reoperation to be curtailed.

Everything You Need to Know About the Madoff Sentencing
Wayne State law professor and LB contributor Peter Henning has studied the filings in advance of the Bernie Madoff sentencing, slated for Monday, and weighs in below with an overview of how it's likely to unfold. Click here and here and for earlier posts on the filings from Ike Sorkin, Madoff's lawyer, and the government, respectively (each post contains links to the underlying filings). Click here for all of Henning's LB contributions.
A sentencing proceeding usually follows a fairly well defined script in which the government gives its recommendation for the sentence, the defense makes its presentation — which can include statements from the defendant and witnesses — and, due to a recent change in the rules, victims then speak. After hearing the various parties, the judge presiding over the case, Denny Chin, will explain his legal analysis for the sentence and then announce the terms of the punishment. Here is a thumbnail of what is likely to occur at the sentencing hearing:
The Prosecutor's Recommendation: The government is recommending that Judge Chin sentence Madoff to the maximum term – 150 years. The Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the starting point for the sentencing analysis, calls for Madoff to receive a term of years that would almost assuredly last the rest of Madoff's life. However, none of the individual crimes to which Madoff pleaded guilty permits a sentence greater than 20 years, so, if Chin opts to go beyond that, he'll have to sentence Madoff to consecutive terms rather than the more common concurrent terms. In most federal cases in which there are multiple charges, the judge sentences a defendant to serve a prison term on the most serious count, and then the others are served concurrently with that one. It is rare that a judge sentences a person to the maximum for every count, but that's what the government advises here, based on the extraordinary loss, large number of victims, and Madoff's long-term deception.
The Defense's Recommendation: In a letter to the court, Ira Sorkin, Madoff's attorney, made an initial recommendation of a 12-year prison term, one year short of what Sorkin asserts to be Madoff's life expectancy. What the letter does not point out — but what Judge Chin surely knows — is that a sentence of 12 years would actually only add up to about 9 years in federal prison. Here's the math: Madoff has served over 3 months already, and under the federal Bureau of Prisons rules, he gets a 15% reduction for good time, which could deduct about 21 more months from the sentence. Finally, under the recently enacted Second Chance Act, he could even serve the last year of his term in home confinement if a pilot program becomes the norm — leaving about 9 years in federal prison.
Sorkin argued for a lighter sentence partly based on the fact that Madoff turned himself in, did not flee, abided by the bail conditions, and has been (somewhat) cooperative with the government. Unfortunately for Sorkin and his client, that may well strike the judge as similar to the man who kills his parents and begs for mercy because he's an orphan; "He could have done a whole lot worse" is not necessarily the strongest argument for a reduced sentence, but there's not much else Sorkin could use to defend his client.
As a fall-back, Sorkin's letter recommends 15 to 20 years in prison, based on sentences given to comparable defendants in securities fraud cases, such as Worldcom's Bernie Ebbers (25 years), Bayou Hedge Fund's Sam Israel (20 years), and Refco's Phillip Bennett (16 years). When was the last time a defendant asked to be compared favorably with those gentlemen?
The letter indicates that Madoff will testify at the hearing about the great shame he feels, and he will likely acknowledge the harm he caused. At sentencings in other white collar cases, defendants have had family members and associates testify as to their prior good works, good reputation, and how a long sentence will hurt their families. I doubt Madoff will have any family members testify to spare them the shame of speaking on his behalf, and it's unlikely anyone will come forward to speak about his charitable works or other community involvement, as, frankly, it's not liable to do much good. This may well be the last we ever hear from Bernie – at least until the Sixty Minutes interview in prison, perhaps.
The Victims: Recently adopted Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 60(a)(3) provides: "The court must permit a victim to be reasonably heard at any public proceeding in the district court concerning release, plea, or sentencing involving the crime." While victims of crimes have traditionally had some role in the sentencing, they now have a much more formal place in the process, and some individuals will be allowed to make statements to the court on the appropriate sentence.
The victims will have a significant impact on Judge Chin, I suspect, because it is hard to ignore the stories of the terrible harm Madoff's scheme inflicted on a number of individuals and charitable organizations. Unlike the corporate criminal prosecutions of the past few years, such as those in Enron and WorldCom, in which the harm was more diffuse, the Madoff victims can point directly to what he said and did that led directly to their current financial hardship.
The Sentence: Several years ago, the Supreme Court restored a large measure of the discretion federal judges once had in deciding a sentence. So long as the judge gives a rational, coherent explanation for a sentence, including the reasons for following — or ignoring — the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the sentencing decision is largely immune from appellate review. Thus, Judge Chin's decision will almost certainly be final, and the likelihood either side could win an appeal is almost zero. I am not much of a gambler, but I would put the over/under on the sentence at 30 years, and I might well bet the over.
What Happens Next: At the end of the hearing, Madoff will have to doff the suit Judge Chin allowed him to wear and prepare to be sent off to whatever Federal Correctional Institution the Bureau of Prisons designates for him. He is not eligible to be sent to a minimum security prison camp, and given the likely sentence, the rules call for him to be sent to at least a medium security prison, although that remains to be seen. [LB ed. note: This WSJ article from Saturday mentions several prisons as possibilities: namely the low- or medium-security prisons near New York City like Fort Dix, N.J., Otisville, N.Y., or Allenwood, Pa.

Prior to Friday's game against the Warriors, Thabo Sefolosha sat at his locker with a hard cast on his right foot. It was recently reported Thabo would be getting a walking boot for the foot, but the hard cast is definitely a bad sign.
And according to Swiss writer Adrian Ruch, who is at the game writing a feature on the Swiss-born player, Thabo told him he'll miss another month because of the foot. Thabo will wear the hard cast for a week, switch to a walking boot and then rehab for two weeks.
Thabo has missed a number of games for the Thunder this season, last playing on Jan. 27 against the Warriors. Daequan Cook, who has been starting for Thabo, will continue in that role.

As fast and easy as the Remove Duplicates command is to get rid of duplicate data, what it does not do for you is indicate what has been duplicated. So for example, in this list here which does have duplicates in it, there is a Juan Bishop in Row 5, also one in Row 10. If we want to identify which records have been duplicated before getting rid of them, what we need to do is sort the data. So I do have another list here, an exact list, but it has been sorted, clicking over here.
And in this list we will see two Juan Bishops together. If you do want to identify duplicate records here, what we need to do is after doing the sorting, insert a new column to the left of Column A. And what we are going to do here is to put in a formula. I want to show you or start off at least with the long way and then show you a nice quick way using an array formula to identify which records have been duplicated. So, here's the formula I am going to put in here. I can start probably in Row 2.
It's good to see everything in place. =if. Now you may or may not be familiar with the If function but this I think almost explains itself. Here is what we'd like to say. And we want to include the word And. And for the moment we are only thinking of rows 2 and 3 and we know they are not duplicated but they could be. So we'd like to indicate if this cell B2=B3, comma, and if C2=C3, comma, and if D2=D3, comma, and on and on and on.
Now this is going to get really long, but if they are all equal, and why don't I just cut it short here for the moment and then show you a better way to do this? But we're on the path here for this to make sense. If these pairs are all equal to one another, I'll just go this for right parenthesis, comma. In other words, if all those pairings are true, that they are all matched, then what do we want to see here over in cell A2? "Dup". But if that's not the case, if any ne of those is not the same then we want to put in a word Unique. Right parenthesis and Enter.
And those are unique and we can copy this down the column relatively quickly simply by double-clicking the lower right-hand corner. So all these are unique and sure enough down here in Row 50 there we go, 53, that's a duplicate, and we'll find others eventually. Now we've got several hundred names. No reason to scroll through all of this. We could have 70,000 or 700,000. This at least identifies the records that have been duplicated. Possibly you can use a filter and just show the duplicated ones. We could do that.
You will need a dummy heading up here. Put in anything for the moment. If we introduced filtering right now we could then on this column right here simply show those that are dup and then see the list of the records that have been duplicated. Sometimes that's important, sometimes not. But this is the way to get there. Let me remove the filter and to complete this formula and actually do it all the way across, in other words not just to Column F but all the way across, seems like it would take a lot of work.
In other words, to really do the check here fully we'd want to check all the way over into in this example into Column L. But here is a better way to do this and there is a special kind of formula in Excel called an array dormula. So what we'd like to do here is actually change this to read B2:L2=B3:L3. In other words, as I delete all this, all the cells B2 all the way over to L2 we are going to check all of those and we are going to compare them with the corresponding cells in the row below.
And this is a lot shorter than what we just saw. Now, this is what we call an array formula. In order for this to work properly I need to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not simply Enter. Ctrl+Shift+Enter, there we go, and I'll double-click to recopy all this. We'll still find our duplicates down there in the same location, but it's a much shorter formula. Let me once again display this a little larger so we can see it, make it a little bit wider, and so what we are seeing again in English-- let me make this even wider so we can see it.
We're going to compare B2 with B3 and C2 with C3 and on and on and on all the way over in Column L. If all those are the same, we've got a duplicate. If any one of them is different it's going to be unique. So this is how to identify the records that are duplicates. It's an unusual kind of formula. You may or may not have seen array formulas, but I think you'll see pretty clearly. Any time there is the need to identify the duplicate records, a formula like this will get the job done. If you'd like more information on array formulas and how they work, you might want to check out another course in this series, Advanced Formulas and Functions for Excel 2010.
There is an entire chapter on array formulas there.

Hi guys,
Someone in my organisation who is high enough in the management chain
has access to the root password on one of our servers and while writing
some shell scripts, executed the command:
mv ${SOME_DIR}/* BKUP_<some date suffix>/
After that, no one's been able to login to that server through rsh or
telnet. I suspect that he used a wrong variable value (there must've
been no variable like SOME_DIR in his code).
Since it moved pretty much everything under the '/' to another
directory, all the paths are haywire and nothing is working. Adding to
that, he even closed that session in alarm. So the only hope of
recovery is also gone with the wind.
Any tips on how to login to that system and remedy the situation by
copying the / contents to their proper places?
Thanks a million!

The Securities and Exchange Commission has charged four New Jersey residents, including an ex-managing director of one of Wall Street's regulators, with trading on tips about an $860 million deal by GE Healthcare to purchase a Totowa-based medical products company.
All told, eight people were charged with insider trading over the 2008 acquisition of Vital Signs, which made disposable products for anesthesia, sleep therapy and emergency medicine, by the unit of the General Electric Co. Seven of the men agreed this week to settle the SEC's charges without admitting or denying wrongdoing, and pay roughly $900,000 in fines and disgorgement, according to the agency.
Among those charged were John Easom, a Garfield resident who at the time of the acquisition was an executive vice president of global business development with Vital Signs. According to the SEC, Easom learned from Vital Signs' CEO, who was not named in the complaint, that the company had finalized terms for its takeover, which involved the GE Healthcare purchasing outstanding shares of Vital Signs' stock for $74.50 a share. The deal caused Vital Signs' stock to jump 26 percent the day it was announced.
Despite knowing he was bound by a duty of confidentiality, Easom leaked the terms of the deal to his cousin's husband, a stock broker from Park Ridge named William Echeverri, the SEC said. Shortly after learning the takeover was finalized, Easom allegedly sent Echeverri a text message containing the price that GE would pay for Vital Signs' stock.
While Easom did not purchase any additional shares of Vital Signs after learning that the deal was final, he "received a personal benefit by conferring a gift upon a friend," the SEC said. That friend, Echeverri, allegedly received much more. On the tip, he bought 9,800 shares of Vital Signs, netting an illicit profit of more than $150,000 when he sold most of those shares after the takeover was announced, the agency said.
Echeverri also spread the inside information to his brother, Victor Echeverri, and four friends, the SEC said.
One of those friends was Paul Qassis, a Weehawken resident who at the time was a managing director at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, an industry-funded regulator of securities brokers. Qassis, who oversaw a team of FINRA's computer programmers who worked on applications for its regulatory division, allegedly purchased 1,500 shares of Vital Signs stock and sold them the day the takeover was announced, netting $22,000 in illicit profits, the SEC said.
Qassis, whom the SEC said was fired from FINRA in May 2010, allegedly passed the tip to one of the programmers who worked for him, Gary Saggu of New York. Saggu, who also left FINRA in May 2010, purchased 7,545 shares of Vital Signs and made nearly $112,000 in illicit profits once the deal was announced.
The fourth New Jersey resident charged was Joseph Mancuso, an accountant from Paramus and a childhold friend of Echeverri's. He allegedly bought 3,800 shares of Vital Signs and sold these for a profit of more than $61,000.
All four New Jersey defendants settled with the SEC, agreeing to disgorge the illegal gains and pay a range of penalties. The largest penalty was against Echeverri, for $227,428. Easom was fined the least, at $10,000. He also was barred from serving a director of a publicly traded company for five years. The SEC said the terms of Easom's settlement reflected credit given to him for cooperating in its investigation.
Attorneys for Easom, Echeverri, Qassis and Saggu did not return calls. An attorney for Mancuso, Brian Hamburger of Edgewater, declined to comment through a spokesman. An attorney for Victor Echeverri, James Sallah of Boca Raton, Fla., said his client was happy to have resolved the matter before it headed to litigation.
A FINRA spokeswoman declined to comment on the case and the reason for Qassis and Saggu's termination. The regulator, which also conducts frontline surveillance for insider trading, was credited by the SEC for its assistance in the case.

Broken spirits
When we first see him, Hank Grotowski (Billy Bob Thornton) is a spiritually comatose corrections officer who seems to have inherited his bigotry, like his line of work, from his father, Buck (Peter Boyle). A housebound invalid, Buck gripes bitterly when he sees a couple of black children stroll across the lawn to pay a visit to Hank's son Sonny (Heath Ledger), and grumbles that there once was a time when colored people "knew their place." Hank compliantly scares the children off with a rifle.
But away from home, Hank's actions are governed by a code of decency that doesn't recognize racial boundaries. The first act of Monster's Ball follows Hank and his colleagues as they prepare for the execution of Lawrence Musgrove (Sean Combs), a convicted cop killer who has run out of appeals. Hank does all he can to ensure that this black man can face his death with dignity.

In combination with healthy eating, it can lower your risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, Type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. Physical activity helps control weight, builds lean muscle, reduces fat, promotes strong bone, muscle and joint development, and decreases the risk of obesity.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, children and adolescents should be active 60 minutes or more each day, and adults should be active 30 minutes each day at least 5 days a week.

The Kroger supermarket change has announced that it will close the U.S. Highway 82 store in Greenville on Aug. 23. The building is about 40 years old, and officials say its condition makes it no longer suitable. The company plans to help employees relocate to other Kroger facilities.
Meanwhile, the company is also voluntariy recalling certain fruit products. Peaches, plums, nectarines and pluots (a hybrid between plum and apricot) after internal tests show a type of bacteria may be in those fruits. The provider says there have been no reports of illness. However, a few Greenville consumers have told WXVT that they became ill after eating peaches that were purchased at Kroger.

Markets breathed a sigh of relief on Thursday, rebounding from a rare three-day losing streak with sharp gains today. On top of declining unemployment claims, retail sales in May accelerated markedly from April, increasing 0.6% after a mere 0.1% uptick in April. The S&P 500 Index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) responded in kind, adding 23 points, or 1.5%, to close at 1,636.
While, thankfully, today's three worst S&P components didn't see the sort of severe declines this list normally contains, all three significantly underperformed the index on a day where advancing stocks outnumbered decliners by almost a four-to-one ratio.
First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR ) very well may have set a record today after its stock ended the day with 1.7% losses. Rarely does one stock end as the absolute worst performer in the index two days in a row, a rarity First Solar achieved yesterday, but I can't remember ever seeing a three-day reign of consecutive index-leading losses. The odds of such consistently excessive losing happening by chance is one-in-250,000 -- which explains why there's a perfectly good reason behind First Solar's historic losing streak. The company announced a massive secondary offering of common stock Tuesday, which will dilute current shareholders, and then mentioned that operations in Canada were behind schedule. Talk about bad news.
Red Hat (NYSE: RHT ) shed 1.2% Thursday as the technology sector was the worst-performing area of the markets. The open source software provider behind the Linux operating system also saw the price target for its shares pushed down today by BMO Capital Markets from $54, to $50 per share. Less than a month ago, the investment firm downgraded shares from "Outperform" to "Market Perform."
Lastly, shares of security firm ADT (UNKNOWN: ADT.DL ) posted their fourth straight losing session, shedding 1%. While the company presented at William Blair's Growth Stock Conference this week, it's possible that some of the attendees realized ADT wasn't a growth stock at all. With both sales and net income only rising by single digits in the 2012 fiscal year, it may have outed itself as a slow and steady grower rather than a potential home run.
Investors and bystanders alike have been shocked by First Solar's precipitous drop over the past two years. The stakes have never been higher for the company: Is it done for good, or ready for a rebound? If you're looking for continuing updates and guidance on the company whenever news breaks, The Motley Fool has created a brand-new report that details every must know side of this stock.

HONOLULU - Breland Almadova had an inside-the-park home run and missed the cycle by a triple as the University of Hawaii baseball team completed a five-game sweep of Wagner with a 19-3 victory Sunday at Maehara Stadium.
Kaeo Aliviado had four hits for UH and reached base on all six of his trips to the plate, with two runs and two RBIs.
The Rainbows (6-3) set a season high for runs - their previous best was nine, in the opener of the series against the Seahawks (0-5).
Corey MacDonald (1-0) earned the win in his first start of the season, allowing one run in five innings.
Wagner starter Nick Pavia (0-1) allowed seven runs, four earned, while getting just one out. The Seahawks committed six errors in the game - three by third baseman Tommy Higgins - and gave up eight unearned runs.
Hawaii will begin a four-game home series against Wichita State on Thursday.
