Should Bands Play Corporate-Sponsored Shows?
Are you a musician? Is your group having issues? Ask Fan Landers! Critic Jessica Hopper has played in and managed bands, toured internationally, booked shows, produced records, worked as a publicist and is the author of The Girls' Guide to Rocking, a how-to for teen ladies. She is here to help you stop doing it wrong. Send your problems to her -- confidentiality is assured, unless you want to use your drama as a ticket to Internet microfame.
Dear Fan, My band's stuck in the middle of a debate and I hope you can help us. Our band has been around for a few years, and had a pretty run-of-the-mill existence in the scene. We have an audience, but it's not huge. Every once in awhile we get a gig that covers a few cases of beer and a coupla months of the band's van insurance. It would be nice to make some money, that part we can all agree on. We got offered a gig playing a sponsored show. Everything about it's different than a regular show--there's a product car in the "venue," only [redacted] will be served, the show's happening in a place that isn't a club, the other bands are corny and not from our scene. I say we don't need the money that bad. The rest of the band says it's not big deal and we should do it, especially since it could open the door to doing more of these easy money shows. What say you? --Kevin

Hi Kevin, The rest of your band is correct--in this day and age of bands and corporate partnerships, this is so little of a deal that saying yes to sponsorship is standard. This is how plenty of bands make their living and underwrite their other endeavors. A lot of bands, as you know, are happily seeking out such opportunities as these and real happy to jump through these hoops and shill for whomever is offering.

I think the question to ask yourself is if playing this show is going to change how you feel about what you are doing? Is it going to change how you approach making art? Maybe not. Maybe you will feel sickened by the very sight of yourself in the mirror the next morning. Maybe it's just another show. I dunno what scene you are in, and whether it's one where doing a sponsored show will be something you suffer fallout from or whether your band mates have daycare bills and baby shoes to buy.
Do this: instead of band practice this week, devote one night to everyone reading up on this brand, its practices, any illegality or grossness that might lurk behind the bucks. Are they just an energy drink or are there people or animals or countries suffering because of what they do and how they do it? Do your research. Are you abetting corporate sketchiness? That might make things clearer. It's 2014, there is no reason anyone should be making an uninformed choice about how they participate with big brands.
The other thing that your bandmates are correct about--if you say yes, it might open more doors. It will probably be easier to say yes once you cross that threshold. And there is a reason. Saying yes to money is easy. But then that is the game you are playing, that is where your attention is--and eventually you start to wonder or focus on how do you get these people to give us more shows and more money? To paraphrase Bill Cunningham, money is cheap, freedom is what is expensive.
Good luck, Fan

Principles and techniques for designing precision machines
A pair of air blow-down tanks alternately supplies very viscous oil to hydrostatic way bearings while a turbine supplies very low viscosity oil to the spindle bearings.
A high-performance machine tool controller
There are three typical bearing designs used on DTMs; roller bearing ways, hy- drostatic oil bearing ways , and aerostatic ways.
Machine tools construction and calculation
The bearing with throttles is very similar in its structure and its operating procedure hydrostatic bearings with capillary resistances.
Manual mechanical engineering

In aerostatic bearings, which are basically designed in the same way as hydrostatic bearings are, air or any other gas is used for separating the supported elements.

Pacquiao-Mosley Preview
By Graham Houston
The seemingly unstoppable force that is Manny Pacquiao faces a living legend in Sugar Shane Mosley, and the fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday has captured the imagination. Pacquiao is the wide betting favourite in the welterweight championship bout that will be televised on Showtime PPV, but great fighters sometimes have one last great fight left in them, and it is the possibility that Mosley might be able to reach down within himself and produce a performance for the ages that has in part led to the fight's appeal.
Then again, there is the sense that in Pacquiao boxing has one of those fighters who come along once in a lifetime. People want to be able see him, to enjoy him while they can before he leaves the sport for a new battle, to fight poverty in his new role as a congressman in the Philippines.
I think it is fair to call Pacquiao a phenomenon. What other fighter in ring history won his first world title in the flyweight division and yet, 12 years later, was looking just as fast but much bigger and stronger as a welterweight champion? (more…)
Egberime targets Katsidis
By Ray Wheatley–World of Boxing
WBO #6 Solomon Egberime (21-3, 11 KOs) has the skills to defeat former WBO world champion Michael Katsidis (27-4, 22 KOs) according to Egberime's manager, former two-time world champion Lovemore Ndou. "Katsidis said on Fightnews he wants to fight in Australia and I want him to know that Solomon Egberime would welcome a bout with him," Ndou said. "Katsidis showed in his most recent bout against Robert Guerrero that he is one-dimensional and can be outboxed by a smart fighter. Egberime defeated world rated Daudy Bahari in his last fight and will do the same to Katsidis."
Solomon Egberime is originally from Nigeria but has been based in Australia for several years. He is a former Australian junior welterweight and welterweight champion.

Pacquiao-Mosley: The fight remains

There isn't much left to say that hasn't been said already.
Manny Pacquiao is supposed to win. "Sugar" Shane Mosley is too old to deal with Pacquiao's speed and is a huge underdog. Pacquiao isn't distracted by his seemingly endless amount of side activities. Mosley is ready to shock the world. If you listen to the talk surrounding the fight, it is a foregone conclusion what will transpire on Saturday night. But that's why talk is cheap . . .

Pacquiao using Yellow Gloves
By Gabriel F. Cordero
Manny Pacquiao, WBO welterweight world champion and elected congressman from the Philippine province of Sarangani, has announced that he will be wearing yellow gloves in the ring against Sugar Shane Mosley on Saturday night to support the Gawad Kalinga organization that has built more than 50,000 homes and helped more 500,000 people in poverty in the Philippines. Pacman says the yellow color symbolizes the fight against poverty. "The biggest fight of my life is not in boxing but is to end poverty in my country. On Saturday I will be using yellow gloves representing the drive to fight poverty and I encourage everyone to wear yellow on Saturday and help me carry this message of unity further."

5 title bouts in Japan
By Joe Koizumi
We are looking forward to watching no less than five world title bouts in a couple of weeks here in Japan. On Saturday, in Osaka, WBA bantam champ Koki Kameda (24-1, 15 KOs) will make his initial defense against Nicaraguan Daniel Diaz (18-2, 13 KOs) over twelve rounds.
On Sunday, in Tokyo (at the Korakuen Hall), there will be a female WBC title triple-header that was postponed for eight weeks from March 12 because of the earthquake happening just after the weigh-in ceremony. WBC 108-pound champ Naomi Togashi (8-0, 4 KOs) will defend her belt against Filipino Jujeath Nagaowa (9-9-1, 5 KOs) over ten two-minute rounds. WBC 102-pound titlist Momo Koseki (10-2-1, 2 KOs) will put her belt on the line against unbeaten Thailander Krikanok Islandmuaythai (4-0-1, 2 KOs). WBC 105-pound queen Anabel Ortiz (7-1, 1 KO), from Mexico, will face ex-amateur champ Nahoko Fujioka (5-0, 3 KOs) with her throne at stake. This event is presented by WBC Cares and Gen International.
On May 17, also at the Hall in Tokyo, WBA female super-fly champ Tsunami Tenkai will make her fourth defense against Thailander Petchsairoong Looksaikongdin over ten.
The busy fistic schedule may symbolize this country's steady effort for restoration after the horrible earthquake and tsunami disaster.
Klitschko in Hollywood, Fla.
Photo and report by Phil Doherty
The Heavyweight Factory boxing gym in Hollywood Florida received a surprise visitor this afternoon when WBO, IBF, IBO and Ring magazine world heavyweight champion Wladimir "Dr. Steelhammer" Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO's) stopped in for some "light" conditioning. Klitschko mercilessly assaulted one of the gym's heavy bags for almost 20 straight rounds until the hapless sack tore off the iron cross beam securing it. No worries for Klitschko as he nonchalantly stepped to his right and continued pounding the next bag in line. (more…)
Katsidis to fight in Australia
Former lightweight world champion Michael Katsidis has returned to Australia, setting up camp in his hometown of Toowoomba, Queensland. Despite back-to-back losses to the two men regarded as the best in the lightweight division, Juan Manuel Marquez and Robert Guerrero, the options for crowd-favorite Katsidis were many. However, he recently turned down the chance to fight in Las Vegas on July 30 where it was anticipated he would face Mexican great Erik Morales. But Katsidis said this week his focus was to lock in a date to fight in Australia, something he has not done since June 2006.
"My last 10 fights have been overseas and I think now is the time for me to come back to Australia and bring and bring an international opponent into my country," Katsidis said. "This is something I've been looking forward to for a long time, but until now, the timing just hasn't been right. It's been a tough six months for me personally and I feel it is really important to come home and fight." (more…)

Former WBC cruiserweight world champion Giacobbe Fragomeni (28-3-1, 12 KOs) won the vacant WBC International cruiserweight title by TKO in round 7 against Laszlo Hubert (29-8, 19 KOs) last Saturday in Texcoco, Mexico. The fight was promoted by Salvador Briman and OPI 2000 (Salvatore and Christian Cherchi) and was televised by SPORTITALIA in Italy.
Biosse returns Friday
The opponents change, but the approach remains the same for super middleweight prospect Vladine Biosse. Coming off a major showcase victory on April 1st in front of 42 million homes on ESPN2, Biosse (11-0, 6 KOs) is preparing to face a much tougher test Friday, May 6th, 2011 against Denis Grachev (9-0-1, 5 KOs) in the main event of "Champion Breed," presented by Jimmy Burchfield's Classic Entertainment & Sports at Foxwoods Resort Casino's Fox Theater in Mashantucket, Conn.

Pacquiao-Mosley presser
By Andreas Hale
Manny Pacquiao and "Sugar" Shane Mosley pose for the media at today's final press conference held at the MGM's Hollywood Theater in Las Vegas.
J Prince: "It's an honor and a privilege to be here today to witness one of the biggest upsets in the history of boxing; that's "Sugar" Shane Mosley beating Manny Pacquiao."
Nazeem Richardson: "All we keep hearing about is age and is age a factor. What we fail to forget is that we're not talking about an ordinary guy getting older in the ring. We're talking about a special guy. This guy is a legend. . . . Mosley is bringing his own set of weapons to the plate and Pacquiao is going to see difficulties that he has never seen before"
Shane Mosley: "This fight is going to be a terrific fight. We're both warriors, we both love to fight and we're both winners. When you get two winners in the ring you know it's going to be a heck of a fight."
Freddie Roach: "From day one Manny told me this would not be an easy fight and he's been training his ass off from then until now. We know we're in for a tough fight."
Manny Pacquiao: "You heard I trained hard for this fight. You know why? Because Mosley is a good fighter. You think he's old? He's not old. He moves like he's 31-years-old. He has handspeed, foot speed and he knocked Margarito out. I fought Margarito and we went twelve rounds. He has an advantage there.
"The biggest of my fight of my life is not in boxing. The biggest fight of my life is how to end poverty in my country.
"I'm so happy about this fight because there is no trash talking. This is a good example to the boxing fans and the children who idolize the fighters."
Burns defends July 16
Big time boxing returns to Liverpool's Echo Arena on July 16th when WBO super featherweight champion Ricky Burns tops the bill in defense of his title. An opponent for Burns will be announced next week. For Burns it will be the third defense of the title he ripped away from Rocky Martinez in September and it will be his first time fighting outside of Scotland as a world champion. Promoter Frank Warren said, "Burns is one of only four world champions that Britain can boast of at the moment and the only one you can watch on these shores and he is every bit as exciting as Haye, Froch and Khan, all who are having their next fights abroad."
In the co-feature, Commonwealth light heavyweight beltholder Tony Bellew aims to add the vacant British title in a rematch with Ovill McKenzie.

CURTIS A. SMITH, PLAINTIFF,v.ILLINOIS ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BOARDS, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
MEMORANDUM and ORDER
Now before the Court are Illinois Association of School Boards' motion to bar plaintiff's damages computations (Doc. 118) and a motion in limine to preclude plaintiff from testifying as to damage computations (Doc. 119).*fn1 Plaintiff opposes the motions (Docs 136 & 137). Based on the following, the Court denies the motions. Before addressing the merits of the motions, the Court finds that it is necessary to set forth the discovery process as to damages. The following events relate to the discovery process on damages as presented by the parties' briefs.
On June 17, 2010, plaintiff served his Rule 26(a)(1) initial disclosures. The portion regarding damages states:
"Plaintiff seeks backpay; liquidated damages; punitive damages; placement into the position of Superintendent or, in the alternative, front pay, attorneys' fees; costs; and the injunctive relief described in his Complaint.
Plaintiff's calculation of lost income, i.e. back and front pay is attached." Thereafter, on July 29, 2010, plaintiff responded to a request of production with documents C. SMITH 28- 36. These documents are Smith's W-2s from the years 2008 and 2009, pay statements from SIUE, Smith's explanation of retirement benefits - SURS v. TRS and a SURS benefit estimator form prepared by Smith, a TIAA CREF quarterly retirement portfolio statement from April 2010 to June 2010 and a July 2010 portfolio statement from Smith's Fidelity retirement account. On August 19, 2010, defendants deposed plaintiff. During the deposition, IASB's counsel asked Smith questions about his knowledge of retirement benefits and referred to documents C. SMITH 31-36 when questioning plaintiff.
On January 12, 2011, plaintiff served a copy of his First Supplemental disclosures that included documents C. SMITH 84-84. These documents reflect the creditable earnings of Michael Sutton, Jeffrey Fritchtnitch and James Briscoe. On February 25, 2011, defendants again deposed plaintiff. During this deposition, no questions were asked about damages.
On April 1, 2011 at 12:25 p.m., IASB's counsel wrote an email to plaintiff's counsel stating:
"I have agreed to give you an additional two weeks on the discovery supplement that was due on 3/28, in lieu, apparently, of an expert's report. That date will be 4/11. That is fine and I agreed to it. However, we need to have an arrangement that, depending on what you produce, that I may have to issue you some additional discovery either in the form of interrogatories or production request. Depending on what you produce, I will probably be able to issue something within 7-10 days, and you would have to respond rather quickly if you have the information, probably 7-10 days thereafter.
Can we have such an agreement? Keeping in mind that, as I suspect, this will involve exchanges of information on the issue of damages rather than on the issue with liability, and as such, supplemental exchanges as I believe may be necessary will not interfere with the 6/23 MSJ due date. So, please confirm that you are ok with this. Thanks."
In response, plaintiff's counsel stated that she is "ok with it." Thereafter on April 4, 2011, plaintiff's counsel wrote the following email that contained an attachment:
"Everyone, here are the calculations that Curt Smith has performed supporting his claim for damages. I believe they are self-explanatory, but will be glad to answer specific questions."
The attachment contained a copy of Smith's spreadsheet calculations. Another round of emails were exchanged regarding the format of the attachment. In the last email, plaintiff's counsel wrote: "It's the .xls file I got from Curt. Open when you get to the office to make sure."
On April 8, 2011, plaintiff supplemented its disclosures again with documents
C. SMITH 156-162. These documents are the spreadsheet information previously provided to defense counsel in the April 4, 2011 email. On May 17, 2011, plaintiff served its third supplemental disclosures that included documents C. Smith 163-176. These documents are "The School District Financial Profile" of the Illinois State Board of Education, emails between plaintiff and Walt Warfield and plaintiff's redacted phone records from October 6, 2007 to December 7, 2007.
On August 1, 2011, counsel for IASB emailed plaintiff's counsel and asked about the attachment regarding damages contained in the original disclosures.
As to the motion to bar, defendant Illinois Association of School Boards ("IASB") first argues that plaintiff's damages computations must be barred because plaintiff failed to comply with the Mandatory Requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(1)(A) in that plaintiff simply produced two spreadsheets and a summary table prepared by an unidentified person with no evidentiary documents or materials to support the computations. Plaintiff responds that he did comply with Rule 26(a)(1) and that IASB ignores the provisions of Rule 26(e) requiring supplementation of disclosures.
Under Rule 26, plaintiffs have an obligation to provide defendants with the names of witnesses likely to have discoverable information that plaintiffs may use to support their claims, along with the subjects of the witnesses' information. Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(1)(A)(I). Plaintiffs also have a continuing obligation to supplement their initial disclosures. Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(e)(1)(A). Rule 26(a)(1)(A)(iii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires litigants to disclose to one another "a computation of each category of damages claimed by the disclosing party-who must also make available ... the documents or other evidentiary material ... on which each computation is based, including materials bearing on the nature and extent of injuries suffered." Rule 26(e)(1) requires parties to supplement their initial disclosures as more information becomes available to them. If a party does not follow these rules, "the party is not allowed to use that information ... to supply evidence on a motion, at a hearing, or at a trial, unless the failure was substantially justified or was harmless." Fed.R.Civ.P. 37(c)(1). Whether a failure to comply with Rule 26(a) or (e) is substantially justified, harmless, or warrants sanctions is left to the broad discretion of the district court. David v. Caterpillar, Inc., 324 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2003); cf. Fed.R.Civ.P. 37(c)(1)(A)--(C) (listing sanctions courts may impose).
Based on the circumstances of this case, the Court concludes that plaintiff did not violate Rule 26(a)(1) or Rule 26(e)(1). At the time of the initial disclosures, it appears that plaintiff intended to attach a spreadsheet as to damages to the disclosures. Upon receiving the disclosures, defendant did not notify plaintiff that it did not receive the attachment.*fn2 Plaintiff supplemented its discovery three times in this case as required under Rule 26(e). On July 29, 2010, plaintiff produced documents in support of his damage calculations including calculations regarding retirement. The record reveals that early in the litigation defendant was on notice as to what plaintiff's damage claims were based upon as plaintiff was questioned about his damages during the first deposition.
Thereafter, on April 4, 2011, plaintiff supplemented his disclosures with a new spreadsheet containing his new calculations. According to the email, it was expected that IASB would be propounding written discovery if it needed elaboration of the damages. However, IASB did not propound written discovery on the damages issue. In fact, IASB's counsel did not raise with plaintiff or the Court its belief that the disclosures were insufficient. Rather, it appears that defendant preferred to "save" this issue for the motion to bar in hopes of prevailing on the damages issue based on a Rule 26 violation.
It is difficult to see how allowing Smith to present evidence as to his lost wages harms IASB. The theories upon which Smith claims for damages- back pay, front pay, liquidated damages and retirement - are not surprising for this type of case. Defendant does not described how it has been harmed by the discovery process on damages. Because the Court cannot see how IASB will be prejudiced, it cannot prevail on this motion. Defendant will have full advantage of cross examination and argument regarding weight and credibility.
As to the portions of both motions that ask the Court to preclude plaintiff from testifying about damages computations, IASB argues that the damages computation is one that is only admissible through expert testimony and that plaintiff has not disclosed an expert. Defendant contends that the numbers are not straightforward salary numbers, but rather projections of "creditable earnings" as would be determined by various State pension systems to compute retirement annuities. Plaintiff responds that an expert is not necessary; that under Evidence Rule 701 he is competent to testify as to his damages as the calculations are simple math and that plaintiff's future lost wages and pension benefits are equitable relief for the court to determine, not the jury. Although not argued by the plaintiff, salary and pension information are matters of public information, the plaintiff did argue his experience in education oversight positions, there has been extensive discovery in this case regarding wage information as noted above. Wage loss determination, when one is not trying to impress a jury, is not a subject matter of particularly difficult substantive material and not an area where a credentialed expert is critical.
The Court acknowledges that there is case law for the proposition that expert testimony is necessary for the issue of future lost earnings.*fn3 However, a reading of those cases demonstrates that this proposition is not a bright line rule; rather the proper decision regarding whether expert testimony as to damages is necessary should be determined by the circumstances of the case.*fn4 Morever, Rule 701, which governs opinion testimony by lay witnesses, provides:
If the witness is not testifying as an expert, the witness' testimony in the form of opinions or inferences is limited to those opinions or inferences which are (a) rationally based on the perception of the witness, and (b) helpful to a clear understanding of the witness' testimony or the determination of a fact in issue, and (c) not based on scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge within the scope of Rule 702.
Fed.R.Evid. 701. Subsection (c) was added in 2000 to "eliminate the risk that the reliability requirements set forth in Rule 702 will be evaded through the simple expedient of proffering an expert in lay witness clothing." Fed.R.Evid. 701 advisory committee's notes for the 2000 amendments [hereinafter Notes to 2000 Amendments]. As a result, lay testimony must "result[ ] from a process of reasoning familiar in everyday life," as opposed to a process "which can be mastered only by specialists in the field." Notes to 2000 Amendments. This does not mean that an expert is always necessary whenever the testimony is of a specialized or technical nature. When a lay witness has particularized knowledge by virtue of his/her experience, he/she may testify-even if the subject matter is specialized or technical-because the testimony is based upon the layperson's personal knowledge rather than on specialized knowledge within the scope of Rule 702. See Notes to 2000 Amendments.
Here, Smith has a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics in 1968 from Ohio State. He taught math for five years in the Columbus City Schools. From 1989 to 1990, he served as a consultant for the Ohio State Superintendents Association primarily in strategic planning but also in financial analysis. From 2002 through 2007, Smith served as the chair of the financial oversight panel for the Livingston School District. In 1980, he served as superintendent in a school district of 1,000 students and then served as a superintendent in a school district of 4,500 students through 1989. Also, he has been a professor at SIU Edwardsville in Educational Leadership since 1990.
Based on plaintiff's background, the Court finds that he has the experience and the particularized knowledge to present evidence about his personal damages under Rule 701. This is an area that plaintiff is familiar with and the computations do not require expert testimony as the computations appear to be straightforward and not complex. The Court notes that a plaintiff seeking future lost earnings need only present sufficient evidence to establish those damages with reasonable certainty.
Further, as noted by plaintiff, the question of back pay is an equitable question to be resolved by the court, not a factual question to be resolved by the jury. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(g); See Albemarle Paper Co. v. Moody, 422 U.S. 405, 415 (1975); Landgraf v. USI Film Prods., 511 U.S. 244, 252 (1994); David v. Caterpillar, Inc., 324 F.3d 851, 866 97th Cir. 2003); Doe v. Oberweis Dairy, 456 F.3d 704, 714 (7th Cir. 2006)(stating in dicta "that back pay is an equitable remedy."). The same is true for front pay, which is an alternative to the traditional equitable remedy of reinstatement. Hildebrandt v. Ill. Dept. of Natural Resources, 347 F.3d 1014, 1031 n. 12 (7th Cir. 2003); Mattenson v. Baxter Healthcare Corp., 438 F.3d 763, 771 (7th Cir. 2006). However, the Court may empanel the jury as an advisory jury on the issue; or the parties may, with the Court's consent, agree that the jury will decide the issue. Pals v. Schepel Buick & GMC Truck, Inc., 220 F.3d 495, 499-501 (7th Cir. 2000). Here, the Court concludes that the suitable method to determine these damage issues is for the Court to decide them without jury advice, if necessary.
Lastly, defendant argues that the damage computations must be barred because they are based on an erroneous assumptions contrary to the Illinois Pension Code. Specifically, IASB argues inter alia that plaintiff cannot transfer more than two years of his previous service in the Ohio state teachers retirement system to the Illinois Teachers Retirement System. Plaintiff responds that his damages computations properly interpret the Illinois Pension Code and are admissible and that IASB is in essence moving for summary judgment on plaintiff's damages and that this argument was not included in its summary judgment motion so this argument is untimely.
As indicated above, the Court will determine the damages issue without the advice of the jury, if necessary. Further, the Court is confident that it can assess/calculate the appropriate damages to be awarded based on plaintiff's submissions and the statutes involved. The Court notes that it may entertain a request for additional briefing on the damages issue at the proper time.
Accordingly, the Court DENIES IASB's motion to bar plaintiff's computations damages (Doc. 118) and its motion in limine to preclude plaintiff from testifying as to damages computations (Doc. 119).

Man accused of hiding hedge fund losses
Man Group, the hedge fund manager, has been accused of helping a third-party hedge fund conceal losses from its investors
Documents filed in a Pennsylvania court last week accuse Man Financial, a Man subsidiary, of allowing losses of $175m (€145.4m) to be hidden from investors in Philadelphia Alternative Asset Management Company, a hedge fund set up by Paul Eustace.
The receiver to the collapsed fund has accused Man Financial, a broker to the collapsed fund, of helping Eustace disguise his true investment performance by supposedly using a secret account to hide losses.
Man Group is scrambling to defend itself against accusations that it tried to cover up its involvement in the collapse of Philadelphia Alternative Asset Management Company.
Man said it had been co-operating fully with the receiver and was surprised and disappointed by his actions – noting that they disagreed on a number of areas.
Clark Hodgson, the receiver to PAAM, filed a contempt of court motion against Man Financial last week.
Man said it was disappointed by the motion but could not comment on the broader content.
Hodgson's allegations come three months after a US regulator charged PAAM and Eustace with issuing false statements and fraudulently soliciting funds from investors.
Private clients at Man Group, the biggest listed hedge fund manager, cashed in investments worth $900m while only buying $800m of new products.
In a pre-close statement issued at the end of last week, Man said that pre-tax profits for the six months to the end of September would be in line with expectations of $485m.
Comment: While too much significance should not be placed on a single quarter's results, private client inflows at Man halved from 35% annualised in the six months to March 2004 to about 15% in the same period of this year. This suggests a trend.
Huw van Steenis, an analyst at Morgan Stanley, believes that the peak growth in hedge funds from private clients is gone and growth will be much less dramatic going forward.

Why this year's Doctor Who Christmas special was everything fans dislike about the Moffat era
A couple of years ago, disliking showrunner Steven Moffat was a niche interest in Doctor Who fandom, mostly the realm of feminists who objected to seemingly misogynist themes in his writing, and die-hard fans of his predecessor Russell T. Davies. Now, it seems, Moffat's anti-fans may be in the majority.
Reactions to this week's Doctor Who Christmas special, "The Time of the Doctor," have been decidedly mixed. Along with the predictably tearful mourning for the departure of eleventh Doctor Matt Smith, the episode was widely criticized for being incoherent, confusing, and sexist.
There's a reason why this fake TV listing has been retweeted almost 500 times:External image
The episode included (spoiler alert!) the Doctor spending 300 years in an isolated village called Christmas, which did not develop culturally or technologically during the entire time he was present. Essentially, the Doctor has now spent about a fifth of his current lifespan inside a Dickensian snowglobe. Another baffling detail was the fact that his companion Clara was touched by one of the previously notorious Weeping Angels but survived unscathed, despite the fact that a Weeping Angel directly caused the final disappearance of beloved companions Amy and Rory last season.
The episode also introduced a new female character who embodied many of the characteristics of a stereotypical "Moffat woman": a sexy, powerful woman who flirts with the Doctor while he bobs around awkwardly like a confused child, before she is killed off, brought back to life, and then insulted by the Doctor for not being as good "a woman" as Clara—10 seconds after he kissed her without her consent. It was like a Greatest Hits montage of all the bizarre interactions between the Doctor and his various female companions and love-interests since Moffat took over as showrunner. And this was just a few minutes after Clara was forced by the Truth Field to admit that she first began travelling with the Doctor because she "fancied him." [READ MORE]

Cerebral palsy affects around one in every 400 children in the UK. Although the exact cause is not always obvious, it can occur if the brain is damaged in early life or develops abnormally.
It's a condition that affects muscle control and movement, and varies greatly depending on the type of cerebral palsy and how severe the condition is.. Many children have muscle spasms and weakness or difficulty learning to crawl, walk or talk. For some children, it's a combination of them all.
About 15% of all cerebral palsy cases have dystonic cerebral palsy and this causes uncontrolled, involuntary muscle contractions. Children with this type of cerebral palsy often have whole body spasms and find their movements very difficult to control.
While there's currently no cure, a team of Sparks-funded researchers in Bath, led by Dr Tim Adlam, are working on a project to improve the quality of life for children with dystonic cerebral palsy. They're developing a seat that gently moves with young children aged between 3 and 5, especially during spasms. It's hoped that the seat will allow children more freedom of their movements, allow them to strengthen their posture and therefore help them reach more developmental milestones.
Dr Tim Adlam says that one of the best outcomes would be that "children are able to learn how to control their bodies better than they can otherwise, that they're able to problem-solve, and trouble-shoot their own disability".
As well as improving a child's physical condition, a seat like this could help children participate more in social activities, from helping them to communicate better to helping them be able to participate in playgroup and family activities.
You can find out more about this innovative research project from Dr Adlam himself, by watching this short video.
Sparks has awarded Dr Adlam and his team a grant of over £83,500 to carry out this research, that's over £5,500 a month to support this important study. If you'd like to help us fund this project and others, make a donation today.

Dear all,.
I'm using Odoo 8 and address and website lines found on customer and supplier record have moved to the right in both view and edit mode (see attached photos). I'm sure they are lined up properly like those lines above.
I know this is only cosmetic, but I would like to fix them if possible. Can anyone help?? Your assistance is much appreciated.

Pedal far and wide with midweight hand protection.
Louis Garneau is known more for road apparel than mountain bike gear, but that doesn't mean it doesn't know its way around the trails, too. Exhibit A is the Rover Glove, a midweight mitt made from a stretchy blend of spandex and neoprene and finished with a Clarino synthetic leather palm for durability and sensitivity. Sensitivity doesn't mean flimsiness, though; the Rover has padded knuckles and D3O impact protection on the outside of the hand so you can punch trees or take spills without serious damage, and Ergo Air ventilation that's specifically designed to breathe well when you're gripping handlebars. The fingers are touchscreen compatible, so you can Strava and selfie like a legend, and the thumb has a microfiber panel for nose-and sweat-wiping excellence.

Best Full-finger I've used!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
These are the most comfortable and best full-finger gloves I've put my hands in, hands down! The fit for me is perfect. Material is comfortable and breathable.
I'm the type that searches until I find the perfect product, then purchases in mass, so I'll be doing that with these gloves as soon as they start showing significant wear.
Tested it out
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I hit dirt today while on a trail. My left my palm slid a bit while my nose was taking in all the natural aroma of dirt on trail. Pretty sure that the padding on the glove saved my hand from getting scraped up. Too bad my knees didn't fare any better.
Good for road bikers too
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Small
As a road biker, I'd rather not scrape my hand off in a crash with flimsy gloves. These seem to have some good pads and protection. They look cool and the fit is good. The touchscreen pads work but intermittently. The Velcro strap is a little short and comes at an odd angle but these are minor quibbles for me. I also wanted full fingers for cooler rides and these seem to be okay for me down to the 40s though a little nippy at that point. Overall I am very happy with these and expect to be better protected the day I take a spill.
Best glove ever!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought the Rover 3 months ago and have used it nearly daily from commuting to racing MTB bikes. They still look brand new with no wear on tear even after washing multiple times. I am a fan of the Ulnar pad as I suffer without it MTB biking. The fingers tips work great on iPhone and Garmin 510. The fit for me as well is spot on. The Rover is so awesome I have 2 pairs now.

This invention concerns a holder for an aseptic package and more particularly to a holder having a stopper positionable within a straw hole in the top of the aseptic package and securely held therein by a removable cover on the holder.
Aseptic beverage packages are widely used because they do not require refrigeration, are lightweight, disposable, and easy to open. The package comes with a straw which is inserted through a sealed hole on the top surface of the package prior to use. These packages are particularly useful for young children in that when the straw is inserted into the hole the beverage is held in a portable and non breakable container.
Although the packages are designed to hold a single serving, often young children can drink only part of that serving and it would be desirable to provide a way of storing the opened package for later use. Holders have been provided which include a stopper that is releasably positionable within the straw hole, after removing the straw, for saving a partially full package for later use. However, in these known holders, the stopper is a plastic arm having certain resiliency and has a tendency to pop out of the straw hole and is not otherwise securely positionable in the straw hole to prevent accidental dislodgment.
This invention concerns a holder for an aseptic package which provides a stopper that is securely positionable within the straw hole of the package so as to resist popping out or being accidentally dislodged. Furthermore, the package can be quickly and easily inserted into and removed from the holder. Still further, the holder can be firmly grasped by the user without causing the package to be squeezed, which squeezing tends to cause the beverage to squirt out the straw or the straw hole of the package.
The holder of this invention includes a container having an interior chamber for holding the aseptic package and an upper opening which allows the package to be inserted into the chamber quickly and easily. The opening allows access to the top surface of the package when located within the chamber, and a removable cover is provided for closing the opening. The cover has releasable locking means for securing the cover to the container an securely holding the package within the holder. A stopper is movably attached to the container for temporarily closing the straw hole. The stopper is disposed beneath the cover while the stopper is in the straw hole so that the cover holds the stopper securely within the hole. Thus, the locking means on the cover insures both that the cover holds the stopper within the hole and that the cover holds the package within the chamber.
FIG. 1 is a top left front prospective view of the holder of this invention, partially broken away to show a stopper disposed within the hole of an aseptic package in the holder.
FIG. 2 is a left side cross-sectional view taken along the section lines 2--2 in FIG. 1, showing the package and straw within the holder and the stopper flipped out.
FIG. 3 is a top left prospective view of an upper portion of the holder showing the cover up and the stopper flipped out, which enables the package to be inserted into or removed from the holder.
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary cross sectional view similar to FIG. 2, but with the stopper in place in the straw hole.
FIG. 5 is a top left front prospective view of the holder with the stopper folded inside.
FIG. 6 is a front elevational view of the holder with the stopper inside.
FIG. 7 is a left side elevational view of the holder with the stopper inside.
FIG. 8 is a rear elevational view of the holder with the stopper inside.
FIG. 9 is a right side elevational view of the holder with the stopper inside.
FIG. 10 is a top plan view of the holder with the stopper inside.
FIG. 11 is a bottom plan view of the holder with the stopper inside.
FIG. 12 is a top left front prospective view of the holder, but with the stopper flipped out.
FIG. 13 is a front elevational view with the stopper out, the rear elevational view being identical to FIG. 8.
FIG. 14 is a left side elevational view of the holder with the stopper out.
FIG. 15 is a right side elevational view of the holder with the stopper out.
FIG. 16 is a top plan view of the holder with the stopper out.
FIG. 17 is a bottom plan view of the holder with the stopper out.
A preferred embodiment of this invention is shown in FIGS. 1-17 wherein the holder is designed to hold a rectilinear 8.45 ounce aseptic beverage package or juice box. It is understood that the holder may be adapted for packages of other sizes or dimensions.
FIG. 1 shows a holder 10 which includes a lower container 11, an upper cover or lid 12, and a movable stopper 13. The container is rectilinear, having four vertical walls 14-17, a lower wall 18 with a central opening 19, and is completely open at its upper edge 20 to form an upper opening 21 (FIGS. 2-3). The sidewalls include opposed front and rear walls 14, 15 and opposed side walls 16, 17. The sidewalls 14-17 and lower wall 18 form a rectilinear interior chamber 22 which is shaped to hold and snugly engage an aseptic package 100. The sidewalls 14-17 diverge slightly outwardly going from the bottom to the top for ease of inserting the package into the container (FIG. 2).
The cover 12 has a top wall 23 with a downwardly extending lip 24 on all four sides which engages the upper edge 20 of the container. The cover has a rear edge 25 which is connected by a hinge 37 to the top edge of the rear side wall 15 of the container, to allow the cover to be flipped open and flipped shut. The front lip 26 on the cover has a downwardly extending resilient tab 27 which is releasably positionable within a tab receiving opening 28 formed beneath a cross bar 42 adjacent the upper edge of the front wall 14 of the lower container. This resilient and releasable locking means temporarily secures the cover to the container once the package is disposed within the chamber to securely hold the package in the holder and, as described hereinafter, to securely hold the stopper within the straw hole. The cover further includes a circular straw hole 29 on a left portion of the top wall 23. A cut out notch 30 is provided in the front lip of the cover in alignment with the straw hole to provide clearance for the stopper as described hereinafter.
FIG. 2 shows the package 100 disposed in the holder with a straw 101 inserted in the package and extending through the straw hole 29 in the top wall of the cover. The stopper 13 has been flipped out of the container. The sidewalls 14-17 are sufficiently stiff so that the holder may be firmly grasped without squeezing the package and causing the beverage to squirt out the top of the straw.
If a user desires to save a portion of the contents of the package for later use, the straw is removed from the package, the cover is flipped open, the straw is inserted into the container (extra space being provided between the package and inner wall of the container), the stopper is flipped down into the straw hole, and the cover is then reclosed. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the stopper 13 is disposed beneath the cover, which prevents the stopper from popping out or being accidentally dislodged from the hole. The stopper includes an arm 30 having a downwardly extending circular projection 31 for sealing the straw hole. The projection is adjacent a first end 32 of the arm and the first end has a shaped tab 33 to enable the user to insert a finger beneath the tab to remove the projection 31 from the straw hole. At its opposite second end 34 the arm is connected to the upper edge 35 of the front wall of the container by a hinged portion 36. In this preferred embodiment, the entire container is made of plastic, preferably by injection molding. The hinge 37 for the cover and the hinge 36 for the stopper arm are integral portions of the holder, having sufficient flexibility to function as a hinge. Adjacent the second end of the arm is a right angle shoulder 40 which fits around the upper edge 102 of the package (see FIG. 4) so that the arm 30 lies parallel to the top wall 103 of the package and the top wall 12 of the cover, and in contact with the underside of the top wall 12.
FIGS. 5-17 further illustrate various views of the holder. In FIGS. 5-11 the holder is shown with the stopper flipped in, and FIGS. 12-17 with the stopper flipped out.
Although a preferred embodiment of the invention has hereinbefore been described, it will be appreciated that variations of this invention will be perceived by those skilled in the art, which variations are nevertheless within the scope of this invention as defined by the claims appended hereto.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
