This certainly has been the summer for sequels with "Pirates Of The Caribbean", "Fast And Furious" and "Hangover". And more will follow but we also have our first prequel in the form of "X-Men: First Class".
If you hadn't seen any of the X-Men movies, they're about mutants who live amongst us who have special talents but are shunned by the general population. Some mutants are good and some are evil and this movie shows you the origin of how it all began.
In the later installments you get the two main characters of Professor X (good) and Magneto (bad) pitted vs each other. Sort of like professional wrestling (good vs. evil). Here in the prequel you see how the two younger versions start off as friends and then turn onto their future selves.
Actually these are the two best acting jobs in the entire movie as James McAvoy plays the young professor who has mind reading abilities and Michael Fassbender plays Erik (Magneto) who can bend metals and literally pull a submarine out of the water with his abilities. You also have a host of other mutants who have various powers (some cool and some ridiculous).
There are a lot of neat special effects that captivate you for a while but at two plus hours, it starts getting tedious. Yet another example of too long being excessive. When are these studio people going to get this?
Another interesting premise to the movie is how they take past world events and weave them into the storyline to show you the birth of mutants. First you have a German death camp during the Holocaust and later you have the Cuban Missile Crisis. The writers actually did a good job using real history in the story.
Not a great movie, but certainly not awful like "Hangover 2" or "Pirates Of The Caribbean".....my rating- a ground rule double, two stars for "X-Men: First Class.

Christie's Auction House Reports 5% Fall In Annual Sales
Christie's International has reported a five percent fall in their annual sales with prospects of economic uncertainty slowing down demand in the emerging markets such as China and India. After five years of sustained growth, the worlds leading auction house has recorded sales of £4.8 billion ($7.4 billion, 6.8 billion euros) in 2015, down from £5.1 billion in 2014. The figures however represent Christie's second-best performance ever.
"The froth is starting to come off," Anders Petterson, founder and managing director of research group ArtTactic, told Bloomberg. "Looking back, in terms of auction sales, 2014 was the peak of the market."
Old Masters, 19th century and Russian art category, Christie's recorded a 37 percent loss, and a 14 percent loss in its postwar and contemporary auctions. Private sales slumped by 39 percent to £554.9 million but Impressionist and modern art rose 57 percent to £1.3 billion. Christie's also had the top three highest selling works sold globally in 2015, including Pablo Picasso's "Les Femmes d'Alger (Version O)", which fetched $179.4 million at an auction in New York in May.

Claudette Lyrics
Artist: Dwight Yoakam
Album: Under The Covers
I got a brand new baby and I feel so good
She loves me even better
Than I thought she could
I'm on my way to her house
And I'm plumb out of breath
When I see her tonight
I'm gonna squeeze her to death
Claudette, pretty little thing Claudette
Never makes me fret, Claudette
Well she's the greatest little girl
That I've ever met
I get the best lovin'
That I'll ever get from
Claudette, pretty little pet
Oh oh Claudette
Well I'm a lucky man
My baby treats me right
She's gonna let me hug and kiss
And hold her tight
When the date is over
And we're at her front door
I'm gonna kiss her goodnight
I holler more, more, more
When me and my new baby
Have a date or three
I'm gonna ask my baby
If she'll marry me
I'm gonna be so happy
For the rest of my life
When my brand new baby
Is my brand new wife
Hey hey Claudette

There we were, adrift in a sea of inadequate folders looking for signs of something solid on which we could depend. Then we spotted the well groomed jib of the Smead Expanding Pressboard Fastening File Folder on the internet. We had been a victim of the online fly by night ne 'r do wells before so we proceeded with caution ordering just a few boxes, but when we received the chosen few...it was obvious there would be a new kid in filing town. "Man the filing cabinets and stoke the recycling fires!" We were going to replace our files tout de suite. Or, at least as fast as Purchasing could cut a check. This tale ends happily ever after, as will yours if you order the same.
Customer review by Lauren
These folders are the best! My office uses 2 prong file folders for all of our files, and the coating on these fasteners makes a HUGE difference. Our files see a lot of wear-and-tear as they are frequently updated, and I often experience problems with the fasteners bending in the middle or cutting the papers (and sometimes cutting my fingers) as I repeatedly add and remove documents. These fasteners stay straighter and don't cut the paper or, more importantly, me! I also like that they expand at the bottom so I don't have to use multiple file folders for the same type of documents--it makes my files look much neater.

After an incident regarding a crossing guard and a bottle of Martini & Rossi (and his friends), 17-year-old worrier Ben Fletcher must develop his sense of social alignment, take up a hobby, and do some community service to avoid any further probation.
He takes a knitting class (it was that or his father's mechanic class) with the impression that it's taught by the hot teacher all the boys like. Turns out, it's not. Perfect.
Regardless, he sticks with it and comes to discover he's a natural knitter, maybe even great. It also helps ease his anxiety and worrying. The only challenge now is to keep it hidden from his friends, his crush, and his soccer-obsessed father. What a tangled web Ben has weaved . . . or knitted.

CHECKER MOTORS CORP., PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,v.CHRYSLER CORP. AND CHRYSLER MOTORS CORP., DEFENDANTS-APPELLEES; CHECKER TAXI CO., INC., ET AL., ADDITIONAL DEFENDANTS ON COUNTERCLAIM
Waterman and Moore, Circuit Judges, Bonsal, District Judge.*fn*
WATERMAN, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiff, Checker Motors Corporation (Checker), is a New Jersey corporation engaged principally in the production and sale of the familiar "Checker" taxicabs. The defendants, Chrysler Corporation, the third largest automobile manufacturer in the United States, and its wholly owned sales subsidiary, Chrysler Motors Corporation (Chrysler), are competitors of Checker in the taxicab market. In April 1964 Checker, pursuant to §§ 4 and 16 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 15 and 26, commenced a private suit for treble damages and injunctive relief, alleging numerous violations by the defendants of the antitrust laws. The instant appeal, however, deals only with the legality of a national rebate plan (Commercial Fleet Value Program) employed by Chrysler since 1962 whereby the purchase of a taxicab from any authorized Chrysler dealer entitles the buyer to receive an automatic cash rebate.*fn1 The plan operates without any participation by Chrysler dealers; upon application to Chrysler by purchasers of commercial fleet vehicles the cash discount, a sum which is not contingent upon the purchase price charged by the dealer, is paid to the buyers directly by Chrysler. The dealers do, however, partake in some of the advertisement of the program.
In the court below Checker moved for partial summary judgment. It claimed that the rebate plan as used in the New York City market*fn2 constituted (1) a per se price-fixing violation of § 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1; and (2) a discriminatory pricing arrangement in violation of § 2(a) of the Robinson-Patman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 13(a). Additionally, as an alternative to its motion for partial summary judgment, Checker sought a preliminary injunction enjoining Chrysler from maintaining the rebate plan during the pendency of the litigation. Judge Mansfield of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York denied both the motion for partial summary judgment and the motion for a preliminary injunction pendente lite. Judge Mansfield's opinion is reported at 283 F. Supp. 876 (SDNY 1968). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1), Checker now appeals the portion of the district court's order that denied the preliminary injunction. Our review is limited accordingly.
The district court held that the charge that Chrysler's rebate plan violates the Robinson-Patman Act is a question of fact to be determined at trial. Checker does not quarrel with that part of the decision below, and therefore we need not concern ourselves with the district court's disposition of the Robinson-Patman claim. Rather, in reviewing the propriety of the district court's denial of Checker's request for a preliminary injunction, only two questions warrant our attention:
(1) Is Chrysler's rebate plan a price-fixing arrangement, and thus, illegal per se under § 1 of the Sherman Act; if so plaintiff may have been entitled to final judgment on the merits;*fn3 and
(2) If the plan is not illegal per se did the district court abuse its discretion in declining to enjoin use of it pending a further test of the plan's legality at trial. For the reasons to follow, we answer both questions in the negative and affirm the decision below.
A lengthy discussion is unnecessary. The per se illegality of price-fixing agreements under the Sherman Act is a principle to which our courts have consistently adhered. See United States v. New Wrinkle, Inc., 342 U.S. 371, 377, 72 S. Ct. 350, 96 L. Ed. 417 (1952); United States v. National Ass'n of Real Estate Boards, 339 U.S. 485, 489, 94 L. Ed. 1007, 70 S. Ct. 711 (1950); United States v. Masonite Corp., 316 U.S. 265, 274, 86 L. Ed. 1461, 62 S. Ct. 1070 (1942); United States v. Socony-Vacuum Oil Co., 310 U.S. 150, 84 L. Ed. 1129, 60 S. Ct. 811 (1940); United States v. Trenton Potteries Co., 273 U.S. 392, 71 L. Ed. 700, 47 S. Ct. 377 (1927). The Supreme Court has said that any arrangement which in any manner "tampers with price structures" constitutes unlawful price-fixing, Socony-Vacuum, supra 310 U.S. at 221. See cases collected by Judge Mansfield below, 283 F. Supp. at 882. Nevertheless, determining whether a particular scheme should be classified as a price-fixing device has not always been an easy task. Compare the above cases with Appalachian Coals, Inc. v. United States, 288 U.S. 344, 77 L. Ed. 825, 53 S. Ct. 471 (1933); National Asso. of Window Glass Mfrs. v. United States, 263 U.S. 403, 68 L. Ed. 358, 44 S. Ct. 148 (1923); Chicago Board of Trade v. United States, 246 U.S. 231, 38 S. Ct. 242, 62 L. Ed. 683 (1918); United States v. Columbia Pictures Corp., 189 F. Supp. 153 (SDNY 1960).
In Susser v. Carvel Corporation, 332 F.2d 505, 510 (2 Cir.), cert. granted, 379 U.S. 885, 85 S. Ct. 158, 13 L. Ed. 2d 91 (1964), cert. dismissed as improvidently granted, 381 U.S. 125, 85 S. Ct. 1364, 14 L. Ed. 2d 284, 145 U. S. P.Q. 743 (1965), we held that an ice cream manufacturer's practice of recommending a retail price to its franchised dealers was lawful where "the franchise provisions explicitly reserved to the individual dealer the right to set whatever price he desired" and where no attempts to enforce the price structure were shown. Similarly, in the case at bar, the district court declined to find that Chrysler's rebate plan is unlawful per se under § 1 of the Sherman Act for there is an absence of proof that the plan tends to "affect the exercise of competitive pricing discretion, or to affect or tamper with the range, level, scale, or amount of the price paid for Chrysler taxicabs. . . ." Rather, the court viewed the plan as a mere promotional device, reasoning as follows:
On its face Chrysler's Rebate Plan does not curtail the dealer's pricing discretion. Each dealer is free (1) to raise retail taxicab prices, thus nullifying the effect of the rebate; (2) to keep his prices constant, and thus render Chrysler taxicab price competitive vis a vis General Motors, Ford, Checker and other automobile makers who grant similar rebates; or (3) to lower his prices still further in competition against both Chrysler and non-Chrysler dealers alike. No evidence has been offered to the effect that the $183 rebate has even the slightest tendency to restrict in any way the dealer's independent decision and determination as to the retail sales price quoted by him to customers for Chrysler taxicabs. The most that appears from the record before us is that the plan manifests to the taxicab purchaser a desire on Chrysler's part to promote competitive sale of its taxis, at least to the extent of giving the appearance of a price advantage to the customer in the form of a $183 rebate. Possibly the practice acts as a psychological inducement to the customer that cannot be realized through a direct price reduction to the dealer in the identical amount which would, as a practical matter, enable the dealer in his discretion to reduce his price accordingly. Certainly the marketplace is full of similar manufacturer-originated promotional sales "gimmicks," such as "free goods" in the grocery and drug trades, coupons entitling the holder to cash or discounts, and the like, which do not run afoul of the Sherman Act in the absence of a showing of impropriety. The plan does not give as much practical pricing flexibility to the Chrysler dealer as would a direct $183 price reduction in the wholesale price, since the customer, rather than the dealer, is automatically entitled to the rebate upon purchase of a Chrysler taxicab, whereas if Chrysler reduced the price to its dealers by $183, bargaining between each dealer and his customer might ensue to determine how much of the reduction, if any, would be passed along to the retail customer. However, this is an illusory distinction, since the dealer has the freedom to increase his retail price to offset the $183 rebate. 283 F. Supp. at 882-883.
Indeed, all of the evidence indicates that the Chrysler dealers are free to sell at their own prices and that the manufacturer's rebate plan is in the nature of an advertising expedient. Contrary to appellant's contentions, the plan lends no assurance to Chrysler that the entire price cut will be passed on to its dealers' customers. Nor does the availability to Chrysler of an alternative program whereby their dealers would directly receive the price discount and the individual dealers could thereafter decide whether to pass all or part of the price reduction on to their customers prohibit Chrysler's use of the discount device to which appellant objects. All that is required by § 1 for the discount device employed by Chrysler to be valid is that the pricing independence of the individual dealer remain unimpeded. Accordingly, we find the instant scheme falls squarely within our holding in Susser, supra.
There remains for discussion the issue of whether Checker might be entitled to a preliminary injunction even though Chrysler's rebate plan is not an illegal price fixing arrangement per se.
The district court's denial of injunctive relief was premised on its findings that there was serious doubt as to whether Checker will ultimately prevail in this action; that a review of the involved hardships and equities did not disclose a balance favoring injunctive relief; and that plaintiff's rights to recover treble damages, if successful, constituted an adequate remedy at law.
An application for a preliminary injunction is most frequently addressed to the judicial discretion of the district court. 7 Moore's Federal Practice, para. 65.04, at 1625 (2d ed. 1966). A clear abuse of discretion in such cases, not present in this case, must be shown to an appellate court in order to obtain a reversal of the trial court's denial of temporary injunctive relief. Dino De Laurentiis Cinematografica, S. P. A. v. D-150, Inc., 366 F.2d 373, 374-375 (2 Cir. 1966); Ideal Toy Corp. v. Fab-Lu, Ltd., 360 F.2d 1021 (2 Cir. 1966); Moore, supra at 1626.
The purpose of a preliminary injunction is to maintain the status quo pending a final determination of the merits, Unicon Management Corp. v. Koppers Co., 366 F.2d 199, 204 (2 Cir. 1966); Hamilton Watch Co. v. Benrus Watch Co., 206 F.2d 738, 742 (2 Cir. 1953); 7 Moore's Federal Practice, para. 65.04, at 1625 (2d ed. 1966). It is an extraordinary remedy, and will not be granted except upon a clear showing of probable success and possible irreparable injury. Clairol, Inc. v. Gillette Co., 389 F.2d 264, 265 (2 Cir. 1968); Societe Comptoir De L'Indus. etc. v. Alexander's Department Stores, Inc., 299 F.2d 33, 35 (2 Cir. 1962). However, "the burden [of showing probable success] is less where the balance of hardships tips decidedly toward the party requesting the temporary relief." Dino De Laurentiis Cinematografica, S. p. A. v. D-150, Inc., supra 366 F.2d at 375. In such a case, the moving party may obtain a preliminary injunction if he has raised questions going to the merits so serious, substantial, and difficult as to make them a fair ground for litigation and thus for more deliberate investigation. Unicon Management Corp. v. Koppers Co., 366 F.2d 199, 205 (2 Cir. 1966); Dino De Laurentiis Cinematografica, S. p. A. v. D-150, Inc., supra; Hamilton Watch Co. v. Benrus Watch Co., 206 F.2d 738, 740 (2 Cir. 1953).
Quite clearly, with the per se price-fixing issue resolved against it, the chance of Checker's ultimate success is dim here. It is one thing for the Sherman Act and the Robinson-Patman claims raised by Checker to contain questions ripe for litigation, and quite another thing for those issues to receive a determination favorable to plaintiff upon trial. With respect to the Sherman Act charge, Judge Mansfield's appraisal of the factors a trial court applying the rule of reason is likely to rely upon is a noteworthy appraisal. He considered that Checker's loss of dominion over the 1,600 of the 11,000 taxicab medallions it previously controlled in New York City and the unfriendly relationship between Checker's president, Morris Markin, and the city's fleet owners were more probable causes of Checker's declining sales in New York City than any possible anticompetitive effect created by Chrysler's rebate plan. Moreover, though Chrysler's rebate program is nationwide, only in New York City has Checker experienced a substantial decrease in sales. In addition, despite the continuation by Chrysler of its program, Checker's sales drop has leveled off in recent years. Finally, it is possible that, at trial, inferior design and workmanship, inadequate service facilities, and higher operational costs to taxicab owners may prove to be additional explanations for Checker's competitive difficulties.
The success of Checker's Robinson-Patman claim depends, at least, upon the propriety of applying the "indirect purchaser" doctrine*fn4 and upon a finding that Chrysler taxicabs and passenger cars are of "like grade and quality." The district court's opinion amply demonstrates the improbability that either or both of these requisites will be met. In summary, we are not persuaded of either the likelihood of Checker's eventual success in this litigation or that the issues here raised are of sufficient magnitude and doubt to require the granting of a preliminary injunction.
Checker argues that it will suffer irreparable injury in the form of loss of former customers during the pendency of this action. In Dino De Laurentiis Cinematografica, S. p. A. v. D-150, Inc., supra, we held that the difficulty in computing "damages to reputation, credibility or goodwill" may justify a grant of a preliminary injunction. Our holding there was based upon finding "a sufficient showing of probable success on trial" and "a lack of likelihood of irreparable injury" to the other party if the injunction is granted. 366 F.2d at 376, 377. In the present case, while the losses to Checker through competition with Chrysler may indeed be irreparable, unless Checker can show that Chrysler has engaged in some illegal activity, Checker will not be entitled to recover compensatory damages or to obtain injunctive relief. The district court was of the belief that Checker will be unable to prove its allegations of Chrysler wrongdoing and refused to grant Checker a temporary injunction. We hold that the court's order was a proper exercise of its discretion.*fn5

Police: New Mexico deputy kills fleeing colleague
See Gallery
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - A northern New Mexico sheriff's deputy accused of killing a fellow deputy fired several rounds from his semi-automatic weapon as his colleague tried to flee an alcohol-fueled argument at a hotel, police said Tuesday.
The shooting happened just after midnight at Hotel Encanto in the southern New Mexico city of Las Cruces, where the two Santa Fe County deputies had stopped to spend the night after transporting a prisoner to Safford, Arizona.
Jeremy Martin, 29, was pronounced dead at MountainView Regional Medical Center, and detectives were interviewing the other deputy, Tai Chan, 27.
Chan's attorney, John Day, was on his way to Las Cruces on Tuesday and said details were limited.
"It's a tragic situation for everybody involved," the Santa Fe lawyer said.
Investigators with the Las Cruces Police Department were at the Hotel Encanto's parking lot collecting evidence that appeared to be from a deputy's vehicle. Hotel security staff prevented reporters from approaching the scene and ordered media off the property.
Investigators say the two deputies went to Dublin's Street Pub where they drank and got into an argument, which escalated at the hotel.
As Martin tried to flee into an elevator, several rounds were fired that hit him in the back and arms, authorities said.
Police arrived at the hotel and found Martin staggering off the elevator with multiple wounds, Las Cruces police spokesman Dan Trujillo said.
Santa Fe County Sheriff Robert Garcia said his department was mourning.
"I have grief counselors or crisis counselors here now meeting with a lot of my personnel, but it's a grieving law enforcement agency," Garcia said.
He said Martin had been a deputy for 2 ½ years, and Chan was on the force for three years.
Martin, a patrol officer, was married and had three children, all under the age of 10, the sheriff's office said.
At an emotional news conference, Garcia called both deputies "hardworking, committed individuals."
"I'm lost," Garcia said. "I'm at a loss for words."
Associated Press writers Russell Contreras and Susan Montoya Bryan in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Paul Davenport in Phoenix, contributed to this report.

Its still much better than my current 850 Evo though correct? Is it better than the 950 Pro?
It seems the only con is that its TLC but isnt the highly regarded 850 Evo TLC as well? Im still thinking this is the best deal available for someone who wants a 1TB NVME around $500

its slightly "better" then a 950pro. has better raw number specs. has higher iops, but slower writes.
some people might prefer the MLC of the 950 pro. i would probably go for whichever was cheaper.
I was starting to feel I bought the wrong item (MLC) but slightly better than 950 Pro levels of performance at a cheaper price sounds good to me. I honestly would have gotten a 1TB 950 Pro but they don't exist.

A patient-centric approach to rare disease recruiting
By: Jeanne Hecht, MBA, PMP | October 27, 2015
How putting patient needs first improves patient engagement, and makes recruiting a more pleasant experience for everyone involved
Recruiting is a difficult and uncertain process, especially when it comes to rare disease trials. But it can be a lot more productive and efficient if trial designers look beyond what they are trying to accomplish in order to think about what they need to do to make the trial appealing to patients.
Patients with rare diseases often have limited treatment options and less access to information about current research and trial opportunities, which means researchers need to work harder to identify these far flung patients, and to create an environment where they will want to participate in the trial opportunity.
If patients don't know about a trial, if they don't trust the researchers/company running the trial, or they think the protocol will too painful, time-consuming, or too far away, the physicians will lose them before they fill out the first form. And if an organization is trying to recruit from a very small, widely-dispersed patient population that loss equates to time and money wasted in the drug development cycle. It seems like a simple approach, but too often researchers get so caught up in what they want to accomplish with a trial that they forget to think about what the patients will need for them to even consider participating.
Adapting the trial design to a more patient-centric approach for rare disease trials doesn't require a major overhaul. Researchers just need to shift their focus and think about the trial through the eyes of the patient and their caregivers. Taking this view will help them make small changes to the trial design, and avoid the mistakes that might otherwise cause them to miss out on effective recruiting opportunities.
Collaborate with patient support groups. Whether a patient is newly diagnosed with a rare disease, or a long-time sufferer looking for alternative treatment options, the first place they are likely to turn is a patient support group. These groups help them feel like they are not alone, and give them a trusted place to find information about trials, resources, and education about treatment options. These groups can be particularly important for sufferers of rare diseases, who may feel isolated and frustrated by a lack of options. Yet, because there are so few sufferers, these groups are often poorly funded, and may struggle to find the resources or expertise to support their members or to build-out their web presence.
This creates a great opportunity for biopharmaceutical companies and research teams to lend a hand. Leveraging and supporting these groups with research materials, educational support and other patient tools will help the patient community become better informed about their disease and about the research in the space. It will also help them begin to build a trusting relationship with the people most likely to participate in the trials, or to broadcast information to those who might.
Identify barriers to participation. With small and widely dispersed patient populations, researchers focused on rare diseases cannot afford to lose any potential patients. To reduce this risk, researchers should take the time to interview patients, care givers, and thought leaders in the disease space about the biggest obstacles to participation, then work that feedback into the trial plan and protocol. Some of the challenges may involve fears about medical uncertainties or discomfort, while others may be more logistical. Based on these interviews, researchers may find that making small changes – such as scheduling evening appointments or offering on-site childcare– is enough to make the trial more accessible for hesitant recruits.
Build sites around patients. When dealing with a dispersed patient population, which is almost always the case with rare disease research, trial designers need to be more strategic in the way their build their trial infrastructure. Instead of opening 200 trial sites and hoping patients will turn up, start by identifying down potential patients then creating trial sites around them. This eliminates two of the biggest barriers to recruitment in a rare disease trials – geography and trust. By bringing the trial to patients, the research team makes it physically convenient, while enabling them to be treated by their own physicians.
This approach may require some additional time and resources to ensure these sites are trial ready. Trial leaders will likely need to train doctors and support-staff on good clinical practice (GCP) standards, using a program like Quintiles' Site Training eLearning Program (STeP). They may also need to upgrade basic infrastructure, like adding locked cabinets and temperature controlled storage units, and potentially hire a few support staff to ensure the trial is run correctly. But compared to the cost of opening dozens of trial sites with low numbers of participants, this approach will still cut time and cost from the recruiting and research process. It will also help the biopharma company expand its network of treatment sites and trained investigators for future trials.
Leverage rapid study placement approaches. Rapid study placement techniques are about making sure all the pieces are in place to engage the rare disease patient as soon as they agree to participate. To do that, research teams should:
These approaches are not necessarily designed to engage patients, rather they are to ensure that once the research team has identified and recruited patients for their rare disease study, they don't lose them due to unnecessary delays and hiccups in your trial operation.
Remember, when it comes to patient engagement, you need to be ready when they are!
