Legal Essentials for Entrepreneurs
Martin Waters, Robert Komegay and Michael Hostetler, Wilson Sonsini
Legal mistakes can doom even the best startup concepts and founding teams. Corporate formation, fundraising documentation, founders' stock and board relations are all key legal topics which will be addressed in this course. Taught by partners from one of the best startup law firms in the US, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich and Rosati, this workshop will cover the following topics:
Day 1: Morning Session (3/23, 11AM to 1:30PM):
Fundraising Approaches for Startups
Discuss the alternatives available for startups to raise capital, including convertible notes, preferred stock and common stock. Weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, considerations for the founders and investors, and review current trends in startup financing.
Forming & Organizing the Start-Up
Explore the decision-making process in forming the start-up, including form of entity, timing, documents, and issues in determining the capital structure of the business organization.
Day 1: Afternoon Session (3/23, 1:30PM-4PM)
Founders Stock & Equity Incentives
An overview of founders stock, the process involved to issue founder stock, tax consequences and vesting considerations. Review the compensation and equity incentive structures available to founders to attract and retain new talent. Understand the general mechanics of creating and issuing these awards and the legal and tax consequences in the execution of compensation and equity programs.
Board Relations & Corporate Governance and Liquidity & Exits
Discuss key issues in dealing with your board of directors, including the composition of the board, how to run board meetings, and dealing with conflicts of interest. Explore the important details of good corporate governance for private companies and understand what you need to do now to prepare your company for future growth. Discuss recent developments in exit events, including the initial public offering process and trends in M&A. Understand the expectations from investors and the public capital markets and explore the recent corporate governance and regulatory issues involved in liquidity events.
Day 2: Morning Session (3/24, 11AM to 1:30PM):
Preferred Stock Term Sheets & Mock Negotiation
An overview of term sheets and the due diligence necessary before signing one. Understand economic and various other legal terms contained in term sheets. Discuss key provisions to include in term sheets and negotiation strategies for achieving the best-case investment scenario. Engage in a mock negotiation of a sample term sheet.
Day 2: Afternoon Session (3/24, 1:30PM-4PM)
Establishing a Patent Strategy that Can Help You Get Funding, Rather than Hindering It
What will be the most important patent issues that investors and strategic partners will look for when they do diligence on your company? It always depends on the situation, but certain factors and issues consistently come to the fore. As such, companies can be prepared to meet most diligence challenges by following a few straightforward principles. We will discuss these principles, as well as how all of this plays into planning your patent budget. We will also touch on the new American Invents Act, and whether this Act has any significant impact on most companies' patent strategies.
Note: The session fee is purely for covering General Assembly's expenses. Wilson Sonsini sees no proceeds from the course.

- 5 Must-See Charts
- 5 Stocks With Big Insider Buying
3 Biotechs Popping on Upside Volume - views
WINDERMERE, Fla. (Stockpickr) -- At Stockpickr, we track daily portfolios of stocks that are the biggest percentage gainers and the biggest percentage losers.
>>Outwit the S&P in 2013 With 5 Hated Stocks
Stocks that are making large moves like these are favorites among short-term traders because they can jump into these names and try to capture some of that massive volatility. Stocks that are making big-percentage moves either up or down are usually in play because their sector is becoming attractive or they have a major fundamental catalyst such as a recent earnings release. Sometimes stocks making big moves have been hit with an analyst upgrade or an analyst downgrade.
Regardless of the reason behind it, when a stock makes a large-percentage move, it is often just the start of a new major trend -- a trend that can lead to huge profits. If you time your trade correctly, combining technical indicators with fundamental trends, discipline and sound money management, you will be well on your way to investment success.
>>5 "Magic Formula" Stocks for 2013
With that in mind, let's take a closer look at a several stocks under $10 that are making large moves to the upside today.
Arqule (ARQL)
This is a clinical-stage biotechnology company engaged in the research and development of innovative cancer therapeutics. This stock is trading up 5.6% to $2.93 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $2.79-$3.03
52-Week Range: $1.98-$8.32
Volume: 383,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 1.19 million
From a technical perspective, ARQL is ripping higher here right above its 50-day moving average of $2.56 with light volume. This stock has been trending sideways for the last two months, with shares moving between $2.25 on the downside and $3.03 on the upside. This spike today is quickly pushing ARQL within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade that gives the stock a chance to re-fill its gap down zone from October that started above $5. That trade will hit once ARQL takes out its intraday high of $3.03 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in ARQL as long as it's trending above $2.53, and then once it sustains a move or close above $3.03 with volume that hits near or above 1.19 million shares. If that breakout hits soon, then ARQL will set up for the possibility of an explosive move that pushes the stock back into that gap down zone. Some possible upside targets are $4 to $5, or even its 200-day moving average at $5.44.
Trius Therapeutics (TSRX)
This is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative antibiotics for serious, life-threatening infections. This stock is trading up 6.1% to $4.86 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $4.56-$4.89
52-Week Range: $4.41-$7.44
Volume: 130,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 181,898
From a technical perspective, TSRX is soaring higher here right above some near-term support at $4.41 with decent volume. This stock had been downtrending badly for the last three months, with shares falling from its high of $6.46 to its recent low of $4.41. During that move, shares of TSRX have been mostly making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, TSRX is now rebounding off its $4.41 low and moving within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit once TSRX clears some near-term overhead resistance levels at $5.31 to its 200-day at $5.36 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in TSRX as long as it's trending above $4.41, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 181,898 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then TSRX will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $5.90 to $5.93, or even $6.20.
Chembio Diagnostics (CEMI)
This company, together with its subsidiaries develops, manufacture and market diagnostic tests that detect infectious diseases. This stock is trading up 4.4% to $4.48 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $4.46-$4.70
52-Week Range: $0.21-$0.54
Volume: 73,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 44,479
From a technical perspective, CEMI is bouncing higher here back above its 200-day at $4.39 and within range of its 50-day at $4.50 with above-average volume. At last check, CEMI has hit an intraday high of $4.70 and volume has easily surpassed its three-month average action of 44,479 shares. Shares of CEMI are now moving within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit once CEMI clears some near-term overhead resistance levels at $4.90 to $5.03 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in CEMI as long as it's trending above some near-term support at $4.23, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 44,479 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then CEMI will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance level at $5.30. Any high-volume move above $5.30 would then push CEMI into new 52-week high territory, which is bullish technical price action.

Best Of :: People & Places
At first glance, the inside of the Arizona Pop Culture Museum in City North looks like a toy warehouse. Everywhere you look, there are rows of shelves crammed from top to bottom with colorful boxes housing action figures. The walls are adorned with numerous posters for comic books and sci-fi films. In short, it could be a kid's paradise — except that nobody's allowed to touch these toys. This massive collection of action figures (more than 10,000 in all) is the private bounty of Valley resident John Edwards, who's been collecting them since 1966. In an effort to promote education and creativity through his collection, Edwards put his treasures on display at the AZ Pop Culture Museum — and what a display it is: hundreds of Marvel Universe action figures (many custom-made just for Edwards) in a glass display case; every Star Wars and Star Trek action figure imaginable (including the coveted and valuable Caped Jawas), and dozens of figures by renowned comics guru Todd McFarlane. There are even G.I. Joe dolls of Bob Hope and Teddy Roosevelt. With an action figure collection like this in town, who needs to ogle eBay listings?
Want an original piece of art but can't afford the hefty price tag? Enter the Art-o-mat, a restored vintage cigarette machine that poops out handcrafted art pieces as if they were gumball-machine trinkets. The project began in 1997, when North Carolina artist Clark Whittington displayed his black-and-white photos like old-school ciggies. People loved them so much that the display became a permanent fixture and the idea blossomed into a national network of machines (though this is the only one in Arizona). Pop your cash in the slot, pull the old-timey plastic knob and out comes a work of art from the project's huge roster. Most are pretty amusing. Recent sightings at the slick chrome machine include Bearded Bunnies by William Hessian, Victorian vignettes, and Julie Graces' "Peep Show" secret spy mini-telescopes. You're obviously not going to get a Van Gogh-quality oil painting here, but for $5, any piece of art better than a line drawing is a steal.
Those Christian Louboutin kicks looked damn cute when you saw them on sale at Barney's — and even cuter when you wore 'em — but honestly, that's hardly practical footwear for an evening of walking around Old Town. Easy on the eyes, murder on the feet. Since your pocketbook's emptier than Lady Gaga's head, following your latest shoe-gasm, we've got a suggestion that's equally chic and cheap: Hop aboard one of the four Bunny Rides street-legal golf carts puttering from club to club. Operated by entrepreneur Aaron Lipson, these eight-passenger rides provide complimentary jaunts (although tips are appreciated) from 7 p.m. until 3 a.m. every Thursday through Saturday night. Decorated in electric pink livery and pumping out Top 40 tracks via built-in stereos, Bunny Rides are hard to miss, even after dark. Lipson's crew cruises a service area encompassing Old Town (which stretches south from Chaparral to Thomas roads, and east between 68th Street and Hayden Road), which means schlepping slews of drunken divas and dudes to danceterias, as well as back to nearby hotels. "People get loud and crazy, girls show their boobs, you name it," Lipson says. "It's like a party on wheels." Some caveats: They won't take you home, and those appearing to be overintoxicated aren't permitted to ride. "We don't wanna get sued if people fall out," he says. Besides, why risk the chance of scuffing up your $500 babies? Reach Bunny Rides at 602-405-2106.
We've long thought Phoenix's skyline was pretty — if a little odd. Why do there appear to be two downtowns, and why does one lone skyscraper — the building formerly known as the Dial Tower — rise up from the earth between them? Then we learned something about our skyline that got us asking another question. Why are we so short? Here's a telling fact: At 483 feet, Chase Tower is Arizona's tallest building. Okay, maybe that number doesn't mean anything to you, so let's put it in perspective. Arkansas has a building that's 546 feet high. We're talking about Arkansas, the land of Walmart and rampant shoelessness. Actually, such less-urbanized and less-populous states as Iowa, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Nebraska all have buildings taller than the biggest and best of Arizona. Chase Tower wouldn't be one of the 20 tallest buildings in Texas, and that state isn't exactly known for passionate urban planning. Actually, of the country's 10 largest cities, only San Jose, California, has a tallest building shorter than Chase Tower, and, let's be honest: No one knows how or why San Jose is one of the country's 10 largest cities.
As a former New Yorker who's lived in the Valley for a decade, Marshall Shore may know a lot more about Phoenix history than most natives. Like the fact that Mr. Lucky's was intended to be Arizona's first casino or that Wayne Newton was a regular performer at Bill Johnson's Big Apple. Shore, who calls himself an information curator, deals hour-long doses of local lore each month at the Phoenix Retro Spectacular. For a fiver, listeners and fellow tale-tellers can sip wine and lounge on vintage furniture at Phoenix Metro Retro while Shore, through stories and images, shares his understanding of Phoenix antiquity and the importance of saving it.
Photo booths are always cool, like black T-shirts and motorcycles. They practically invite rebellion, so we give ourselves permission to act up. We contort our bodies with those of our friends and family as we try to get everyone in the frame. In short, we ham it up. So what could be better than a traveling photo booth? Enter Mr. Fun Booth, where you can take as many digital pictures as you like with a nifty remote control inside the 2-by-2-by-6-foot box. Renting Mr. Fun Booth comes with delivery within 50 miles of Central Phoenix, setup and teardown of the booth, three hours of shooting time, and a webpage for viewing and/or purchasing prints. Call 480-588-2778, and have fun.

Sunday, as expected, a national TV audience could see pious Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow taking a knee in silent devotion.
The Christian player didn't change his prayerful ways before facing the Lions (Detroit Lions, not biblical ones).
FOLLOW:Faith & Reason blog on Twitter
Besides, he thinks it's great if folks are "Tebowing" -- praying when everyone else is doing something else.
Some forgot, or never knew, this is the Heisman-trophy winning QB who stenciled Bible verse numbers in his eye black during his college championship years.
In an interview for a story about his memoir, Through My Eyes, Tebow told me:
If those people got to know who I really am as a person, we'd get along. Holier than thou? That's not me. I'm a real person. I fail and then I try keep improving and enjoying life. I'm a people-pleaser. I would love everyone to love me but they're not, and I'm just not going to worry about it.
Of course, he's far from the only athlete who bends his neck to a Higher Power. Tom Krattenmaker, author of Onward Christian Athletes, points out that big-time sports is "one of the most outwardly religious sectors of American culture."
A spokesman for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes told me back in 1993 that it was less a matter of more prayer than of more attention, with so many more teams, events and cable channels beaming every little move out to millions of viewers.
Neither is private-prayer-in-public reserved to jocks. Have you never seen someone say grace outside the house? Or bow her head for a quiet moment amid the chaos of the day?
After all, almost everyone -- and 10% of atheists -- say they pray.
DO YOU WONDER... Who is offended by personal prayer in public settings? Why?
Cathy Lynn Grossman is too fidgety to meditate. But talking about visions and values, faith and ethics lights her up. Join in at Faith & Reason. More about Cathy.

Self-determination is the answer
Sunday, April 15, 2012
Quote of the day
"The fundamental rule of political analysis from the point of psychology is, follow the sacredness, and around it is a ring of motivated ignorance."

Just Say Thanks
When was the last time you thanked a hardworking employee?
"Thank you" is one of the most powerful phrases in the English language. It almost always generates a smile from someone's face. Carry some Post-it notes in your pocket. Use them to put a thank-you note on an employee's desk if she is not there to verbally thank in person. Watch her favorable response once she finds you. The simple message could be, "Thank you for your contribution in today's staff meeting."

Frank Beach was an American psychologist renowned for his research contributions in comparative psychology which include studies of psychobiological brain functions, sexual behavior in mammals, and endocrinology. Believing that facts gathered from experimentation is the cornerstone of science, Beach strived to ensure that comparative psychology would remain a discipline through strict experimental research. This earned him the title of "The Conscience of Comparative Psychology " and also the respect of many researchers within the field.
Born in Emporia, Kansas on April 13, 1911, Beach was raised in the life of the academic world. His father was a distinguished professor of music at the Teachers College in Emporia. Beach attended the same college with the intention of teaching high school English upon graduation. The Great Depression hindered the job market in teaching, therefore, after receiving his BA in 1932, he continued into a master's degree in clinical psychology at the Teachers College on a $400 dollar fellowship. The existence of color vision in rats was his self generated thesis.
After completing his masters, Beach's chosen profession was still in scarce demand. Traveling to the University of Chicago, he was awarded a $400 Service Scholarship by Harvey Carr in psychology for one year. Carr, L.L. Thurnstone, and Karl Lashley exerted great influence upon Beach during this time. As a worker within Lashley's laboratory, a tremendous impact was made on the development of Beach's professional life. Lack of funds caused Beach to quit graduate school and travel to Kansas for a position teaching high school English. Deciding to return to Chicago after only one year, Beach investigated cortical control of maternal behavior in rats for his doctoral dissertation under the advisement of Carr. After completion, Beach continued research in the sexual behavior of mammals at Lashley's laboratory at Harvard. The following year brought a 10 year position as a curator in the Department of Experimental Biology of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. During this position, he founded the Department of Animal Behavior.
In 1946, Beach accepted an academic appointment at Yale University. There his research interest became focused on the reproductive behavior of dogs which he continued for the rest of his life. A sabbatical at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford began in 1957-58. In 1958, Beach accepted a position as Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. The research program on dogs that was initiated at Yale was expanded at Berkeley. Beach helped found the Field Station for Behavioral Research near the Berkeley campus.
Throughout his career, Beach greatly influenced the field of comparative psychology. He influenced many important figures in sex research. Beach has authored numerous articles in psychology and received many honors for his accomplishments. He was elected to the American Philosophical Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and he was awarded with the Distinguished Scientific award and the Howard Crosby Warren Medal of the Society of Experimental Psychologists.
Beach's dedication to science continued up until his death in June of 1988. He died in Berkeley of congestive heart failure. In a hospital, a week before his death, Beach was reading journal articles and working on a co-authored paper to be presented at a conference. He approached science with an enthusiasm for knowledge and new ideas that continued his entire life. Beach sums it up in his own words: Of course, I shall never accomplish all of the goals..., but that is not important. What counts is to have aims, to be able to work hard toward them, and to experience the satisfaction of at least believing that progress is being made. I do not want to cross the finish line of this race, -not ever-, but I do hope I will be able to keep running at my own pace until I drop still moving in full stride. It's been one hell of a good race up to this point (Dewsbury, 1989).
Believing that psychologists have an important obligation to research, Beach contributed major influences within the discipline and in a wide variety of topics. Behavioral endocrinology, sexual behavior, and animal behavior were his three major scientific contributions as well as his many publications on the need of a comparative studies of animal behavior.
Recognizing the potential of European ethology, Beach was the first American to integrate ethology and comparative psychology. Europeans were one of the first to popularize the study of animal behavior. Beach realized the tremendous importance of this as well as the implication it has to other species. Again and again, he stressed the need for broader comparative analysis in behaviors of both animals and man. Within his research, he provided valuable knowledge in the behaviors of rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, dogs, alligators, Japanese quail, pouchless marsupials, and hyenas.
Beach's comparative approaches lead also to studying the relations between hormones and behavior. Behavioral endocrinology was thus developed to establish that behavior is decreasingly dependent on hormones and increasingly affected by experience. Along with W.C. Young, Beach helped co-found this discipline. The journal, Hormones and Behavior, was founded by Beach, Whalen, and Davidson to establish the field of behavioral endocrinology and provide a reservoir of important research within this field.
Beach was committed to the scientific study of sexual behavior. He worked with and influenced many influential sex researchers such as Kinsey, Gebhard, Pomeroy, Masters, and Johnson. In Patterns of Sexual Behavior (1951), Beach, along with Ford, investigated species differences in the reproductive activities of mammals through the cultural variation in human reproduction. This became important in establishing that sexual behavior was a topic researchers could write about. While at Berkeley, Beach furthered his dog research begun previously at Yale. He researched the activational effects of androgens on the sociosexual behavior of dogs and published numerous articles on the research he found. "Locks and Beagles" was one of his most famous articles written on this topic. Leading the way in analyzing the importance of female sexual behavior, Beach helped destroy the former belief that females were passive in sexual interactions. Beach (1976) coined the term proceptivity to refer to the females strong sexual appetites.
Catchy titles in articles or coined terms made people much more aware of Beach's work. "The Snark Was a Boojum" (Beach, 1950), "The Descent of Instinct" (Beach, 1955), "Angry Mosquitoes" (Beach, 1945), and "Locks and Beagles" (Beach, 1969) were all humorous titles that stood out among many of the usual dull titles that state explicitly what was to be discussed. Beach used an element of suspense as to what the articles were to be about, and he was well known for using these tactics. Many words were coined to by Beach, for example, ramstergig (a hypothetical blend between rats, hamsters, and guinea pigs), thunch (theory-hunch), neurophilia, and Humptydumptyism.
Beach contributed to science in many ways. Not only did he do research and work continuously on articles, but he also served on many scientific organizations. He has greatly influenced the comparative psychology with his research as well as through the contributions of his students, colleagues, and co-researchers. Frank Beach led a remarkable career and he has provided a lasting, unique perspective.

Zac Efron is Shirtless and Flexing in New 'Neighbors' Red Band Trailer
The release of Neighbors arrives in just over a month, and this looks like the perfect summer comedy as Seth Rogen goes head-to-head with Zac Efron and a whole fraternity of douchebags including Dave Franco and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
Neighbors is directed by Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek, The Muppets) with a script from Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O'Brien (producers of Funny People). In the film a young couple (Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) suffering from arrested development are forced to live next to a rowdy and obnoxious fraternity house after the birth of their newborn baby. Zac Efron, Dave Franco and Christopher Mintz-Plasse all play frat boys and Lisa Kudrow and Jake Johnson also have supporting roles in the Universal Pictures comedy that's slated to hit theaters next summer on May 9th, 2014.
I have to say that Rose Bryne is pretty damn funny in this movie, and looks to be one of the highlights of the film.
Watch the trailers below.

Plans for a new jail could soon be in the works for Maricopa County. But that's not all. A report from an independent consulting company hired by the county said the sheriff's office needs to hire more deputies and detention officers as soon as possible.
"It's an important issue for those who live in unincorporated areas where sheriff's deputies are really their law enforcement. So to be able to add some staff there will help the response times for citizens," said Deputy County Manager Sandra Wilson.
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is looking at adding 23 deputies this coming fiscal year.
The report by MGT of America also determined more detention officers are needed. In the meantime, some changes have already been put into place to help better man the jails.
"Some of the shifts before were 12-hour shifts. Those 12-hour shifts were more difficult to manage than a normal nine-hour shift, so now they've changed to nine-hour shifts five days a week," said Wilson.
Having enough employees is only part of the fix. County officials also need to figure out what they're going to do with Durango Jail.
"We have money set aside in the budget that we've been building on over the last several years to replace that jail at some point in time," said Wilson.
The county is also looking at providing patrol deputies with cell phones. Right now, all of them are using personal phones on the job.

Yes, Apple (AAPL) sells products as a retailer and by far and away is the best retailer on the planet. Apple's stores have sales per square foot higher than any other – $6,050 in 2012. The next closest was Tiffany at $3,017, with Lululemon (LULU) a transparent third at $1,936.
My local Apple store, which is probably 70 feet by 25 feet in space, has 140-150 employees. Really. iPhone 5 sales are beyond brisk. ChangeWave Research tells us tablets are the No. 1 product this Christmas and Apple has 72% of that market. Wall Street is still worried — so much so that Apple is selling at discount to the S&P 500.

Suspended deputy attorney general, wife regain custody of biological children
A Franklin Park couple accused of abusing their two adopted children will regain custody of their two biological children, an Allegheny County judged ruled on Thursday.
Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey A. Manning lifted a no-contact order covering the 2-year-old son of Douglas and Kristen Barbour and said a similar order for the couple's daughter, 5, will be lifted within a week after she makes a videotaped statement to prosecutors.
"The parents very much want their children home with them," said Charles Porter, Douglas Barbour's attorney.
Barbour is a deputy state attorney general suspended without pay.
The biological children have lived with their paternal grandparents since the Barbours' arrest in October. The couple were allowed supervised visits two or three times a week since being released on bond, their attorneys said.
Police said the couple denied proper nutrition to their adopted son, 6, who was taken to Children's Hospital in Lawrenceville on Sept. 14. When admitted, he weighed 9.5 pounds less than when he entered the United States from Ethiopia six months earlier.
Their daughter, 18 months, who also is from Ethiopia and was hospitalized on the same day, has multiple healing skull fractures, police said.
The adopted children are with foster families.
Family Division Judge Kathleen R. Mulligan in December ruled the Barbours may have custody of their biological children, who authorities said were not abused.
The couple's defense attorneys said Manning's decision was necessary because a no-contact order was a condition of their bail.
"It is neither my duty nor my obligation to interfere with" Mulligan's decision, Manning said.
Dr. Ronald Neeper, a psychiatric consultant for the court who performed a mental evaluation on the couple, said he does not believe they were a threat.
Neeper, however, said he believes the Barbours could influence their oldest child, who may testify for the prosecution, which is why Manning ordered her statement recorded.
The Barbours are charged with simple assault, endangering the welfare of a child and reckless endangerment. Kristen Barbour, 31, also is charged with aggravated assault.
According to the police affidavit, the 6-year-old boy was admitted to the hospital for hypothermia, rapid breathing and significant skin breakdown. The child initially was taken to Express Care in Wexford by his father for an infection.
When told the boy's body temperature was 93.6 degrees, Douglas Barbour, 33, asked: "Would that be from being in the bathroom cold, wet and naked for an hour?"
When the boy was interviewed Oct. 2 at A Child's Place at Mercy, he said that when he was bad — which he described as urinating or defecating in his pants — he was forced to eat his meals in the bathroom, the affidavit said. He also was forced to stand in the bathroom in the dark, which he said was "scary."
Upon his admission, the boy weighed 37.5 pounds but gained 6.8 pounds during six days in the hospital. When he arrived in the United States in March from Ethiopia, he weighed nearly 47 pounds, police said.
The 18-month-old girl was taken to the hospital on the same day because her eyes were rolling back and she had difficulty in breathing.
Kristen Barbour told doctors that the toddler has a history of banging her head. Doctors found multiple healing fractures and said it was abuse.
The Barbours' trial is scheduled for July 9.

I brought this book for myself as a self indulgence Christmas gift!! I can't wait to read it !!
A Royal Wedding
by Kate Hewitt, author of The Prince She Never Knew
I have to confess to being something of a royal watcher. When Kate and William tied the knot, I was glued to my computer screen at 5 am watching their blissful nuptials. When baby George came along, I was checking the news regularly for updates. I admire them both tremendously, and everything they've done for Britain. I love the fact that they have a solid, real relationship.
But what if they didn't? That's the idea behind The Prince She Never Knew. I thought to myself, what if a prince had to pretend to love his princess for publicity's sake?
In The Prince She Never Knew, Leo Diomedi and Alyse Barras have been engaged for six long years. Six years since Leo kissed Alyse on the cheek for her eighteenth birthday and the paparazzi captured the moment on camera—a moment that lived on in the imaginations of the public and reignited a generation with an interest in the monarchy and a belief in happily-ever-afters. In order to keep the monarchy stable, Leo and Alyse have had perpetuate the myth that they're in love, but everything changes when the vows are actually said.
I loved writing Leo—well, I loved Leo, full stop! He is a good, honorable, and of course sexy man who is caught in a terrible moral dilemma. He hates pretending, and yet for the sake of his country he's been forced to pretend in a huge way. Alyse has always loved Leo, yet she's never told him. And with their marriage vows spoken she is hoping that their relationship deepens into something far more than what Leo thinks he could ever offer. Both Leo and Alyse get more than they bargain for when they tie the knot—and more than they could ever hope for, too. I hope you enjoy The Prince She Never Knew.
Are you a royal watcher? Why or why not?
About The Prince She Never Knew:
Behind the royal wedding…
While the world believes her romance with Prince Leo Diomedi, Alyse knows it's just a calculated sham.
Yet beneath his icy exterior, Leo's kisses give Alyse a taste of the man behind the crown… But will their fairy tale survive the headlines threatening to rip everything apart?

We're looking into setting up video conferencing solutions for our own company as well as four other non-profit companies in the state in order to facilitate better communication. I've done quite a bit of research but I'm having trouble finding genuine reviews of some options. We're looking primarily at Lync, Fuzebox, Cisco Webex, and Citrix GoToMeeting at the moment.
The other four businesses are small and do not have any dedicated IT staff so the software needs to be easy to understand and ideally less prone to glitches.
Please let me know what video conferencing software you use and whether you think it would be useful our situation.

Keep your eye on Big Blue Button. We have been playing around with it and I really like it.
Just waiting for them to come out with new update....

Google Video chat is a big win for things like this. I run IT for a local youth center, and have them set up with Google Apps for business. Very easy for me, very easy for them.
Jan 4, 2013 at 10:27 UTC
We use GoToMeeting to run meetings and to do webinars. It works fine, but I don't like that it encodes its recordings in WMA with a proprietary GTM2 codec. It's a pain in the butt to have to convert the files for use the webinar recordings. Go with something that can do recordings in an open file format.
Have you checked out to see what video conferencing they have on offer at TechSoup? If you are a 501.c.3 then you can save a bundle through software donation. That might drive your thinking.

Hey Thanks Nick, I'll give it a shot.

Full disclosure- I work for a vendor, but we have a cloud solution that would work in this instance. It also allows up to 2 guests to connect to any call at no charge. You can re-use your guest passes as many times as you want, as long as you only have 2 guests on a call at any given time. http://www.lifesize.com/en/products/video-conferencing-software/connections We also have solutions that work with Lync if you decided to go that route. Do you know if you are wanting a dedicated hardware endpoint at your "company" and cloud-based at the 4 non-profit locations? Or are you looking to cloud for all solutions? Also, how many people would you need to connect (max) at one time? That might also dictate your choices.

Hi Nick -
I also work for a vendor, ReadyTalk (on the marketing side, not sales) - so just passing along some info. We are partners w/ TechSoup so I do know there is discounted pricing if you are also a member, like Greg mentioned.
We offer desktop, slide and app share, no downloads for the participant. 24/7 local support - we are based out of Denver, CO. This might provide some useful insight regarding our recording capabilities, if you're interested: http:/
You can check out additional information on our Spiceworks vendor page (http:/
Happy to help if you have any other questions, good luck w/ the search!

Randy's Church AdventureRebus brain teasers use words or letters in interesting orientations to represent common phrases.
Randy liked to give his children challenging games instead of television and video games. He incorporated the use of rebus puzzles into everyday life for his kids.
One day he made a rebus for them to try and decode. It was set up like this:
Some items were lying all over a church. The church was burning down, and this is the fate of the items.
Item one: Found near the front row pews. It was in the fire, and was lost.
Item two: Found near the front door. It was also in the fire, and was lost.
Item three: Found by the bell in the bell tower. Was away from the fire, and was saved.
Item four: Found in the bathroom. Was surrounded by fire, and was lost.
It took a while, but his children finally decoded the rebus. What is the answer?
AnswerSaved by the bell.
The third item was saved, and it was by the bell.

New Jersey Pick Six Lotto History
The New Jersey Pick Six Lotto was first drawn in May 1980 and originally required players to select six numbers from a possible 39. In February 1986 the matrix was changed to six from 42 and a second weekly draw was added. Then, in January 1989, the matrix was changed for a third time, now requiring players to select six from 46 numbers.
In May 1997 a Cash Option was added to the game, allowing jackpot winners to claim their prizes as a single lump sum, rather than as a 20-year annuity. The following September, the annuity structure was changed from 20 years to 25 years. In New Jersey, players must nominate their chosen payment method at the outset rather than at the time of winning, the latter procedure being the norm in most other states.
The current game, which has a six from 49 matrix and is played on Monday and Thursday, came into effect in September 2000 and offers a set prize for matching three numbers, and pari-mutuel prizes for the remaining prize tiers.

you get a grasp of how hockey crazed they are. We were in a bar, and
all the TV's were on hockey and people were really into it, yelling
and cheering, etc. That was the first time in my life that I've even
seen hockey on TV in a bar. I've only seen that enthusiasm with

Seattle Campus
The place of photography and films in ethnography; their use in the documentation and interpretation of cultural and social systems.
Class description
This course is an exploration of the use of visual media in "thinking" and "doing" anthropology – as a tool for communicating anthropological knowledge, but also one that is integral to practicing a kind of ethnographic fieldwork. We continue to address visual media as tools for documentation and research, but will place special emphasis on our own exploratory thinking and doing visual anthropology with campus resources available. Readings plus in-class screenings of both classic and new examples of photography, film, and video will provide the basis for our discussions, but we will also reserve time for critical and constructive feedback on class projects as "works in progress."
Student learning goals
General method of instruction
Lectures, weekly film and video screenings, plus other visual presentations.
Recommended preparation
Class attendance, assigned readings, participation.
Class assignments and grading
Varied: short response papers, two short tests, final project.
Grading is based on a straight percentage/100-point scale.

| Health Advice & Tips
Many families have plans to pack their bags this winter to celebrate the holidays away from home. But with increased traffic and winter weather conditions, parents should take extra precautions to make sure they arrive at their holiday destinations safely.
As a pediatrician, certified child passenger safety (CPS) technician, mother of three, and coauthor of Heading Home with Your Newborn, I offer the following tips to help families safely enjoy their winter holidays.
Sit Safely
In the car, remember to keep your child rear-facing and in a five-point harness for as long as possible-until the child no longer fits within the weight and height limits of the seat.
Make sure you have a car seat that fits both your car and your child properly. Test the seat in your car before purchasing it. I also recommend investing in a car seat that offers side impact protection. Look for features such as an adjustable head support and deep side and head wings made out of energy-absorbent material to minimize lateral head movement in a crash. To see examples of seats with side impact crash protection features, visit www.britaxusa.com.
Get Your Car Seat Checked
It is estimated that at least 80 percent of all car seats are installed and used incorrectly. Have a certified CPS technician check your child's seat. Visit www.nhtsa.dot.gov for a list of child safety seat inspection stations by ZIP code.
Don't Over Bundle Your Bundle of Joy
Although it's important to dress your child in warm clothes during the winter, thick winter coats or snowsuits can significantly loosen the car seat's straps and compromise your child's safety. In order for a car seat or booster seat to function properly, the straps need to remain tight against a child's chest. When placing your child into the car seat, remove his coat or snowsuit, and - after he is already in the car seat - put a blanket, if needed for extra warmth, on top of the baby.
Pack a Winter Travel Safety Kit
During the winter months, these items are particularly useful to have on-hand for any road trip: cell phone, ice scraper, brush, tow rope, cat litter to use as a traction aid, blankets, sweaters, sleeping bags, food and bottled water, spare batteries, first aid kit, candle, flashlight, matches, portable weather radio, and a can of lock deicer. For the little ones, be sure to also pack extra necessities like diapers, wipes, powdered formula, and a couple of books and toys.
Drive Smart
In bad weather, reduce your speed to match the conditions, but make sure you have enough momentum to keep moving. Allow at least three times more space than usual between you and the car in front of you and remember to brake gently on snow or ice. If your wheels lock up, ease off the brake. Turn on your headlights and keep them and your windshield clean.
Fuel Yourself
Not only should you make sure your car has more than enough gas to get you where you need to go (and back), but it's a good idea to take along a day's worth of high-energy, nutritious food for the family in case you get stranded. Also, remember to bring along some extra drinking water and keep it in the passenger compartment (it might freeze in the trunk).
Don't Check Safety at the Gate
For airplane travel, I advise parents to buy a seat for a child under 2 years old - even though it's not always required - and secure him in an FAA-approved car seat to keep him safe not only during takeoff and landing, but in the event of any in-flight turbulence. For infants, travel systems come in especially handy as they can make taking a car seat through the terminal much easier, not to mention offering plenty of extra storage space. You can then simply gate-check the stroller as you board the plane.
By planning ahead and taking a few extra steps, you'll be able to sit back and enjoy the ride. Happy holidays!

Recently, she has focused her attention on raising awareness of the danger of side impact crashes.

I appreciated Paul Gibbs' "Thanks to Medicaid" (Forum, March 20) about his experience with federal/state assistance.
My husband has a good job and insurance. We pay taxes and are happy to do so. We do not consider ourselves "takers."
However, we are the parents of a severely mentally disabled child who lives in a Medicaid-paid-for care center. We kept her in our home until she became a danger to herself and others. She thrives in a structured environment.
Without this government assistance, we could not afford a modest mortgage or provide a "normal" life for our other children. Nor could we provide the setting most appropriate for our daughter's growth.
How grateful we are to live in a country where there is a social safety net for the most vulnerable citizens. When we value those who are least among us, we show our common humanity.
May we as a state embrace the federal Medicaid assistance offered.

Did Netanyahu come out of the talks on top? Not yet
If I were a fly on the wall in the Oval Office when president Barack Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu closed the door behind them to talk tachlis, I guess that the following happened.
Mr Netanyahu, who has a record of domineering meetings of heads of states (ask Tony Blair), probably started by giving Mr Obama a "we told you so" speech. Indeed, the late Yitzhak Rabin warned about a nuclear Iran as early as 1993, and the world was slow to believe subsequent Israeli leaders when they warned against arming the ayatollahs with nukes.
Then, I guess, Mr Netanyahu might have told the US President that the Iranians have been cunningly bluffing the world, dodging the sanctions and rushing to go nuclear, and that action must be taken now, before it's too late.
Up until that moment, I imagine, Mr Obama would have nodded. It is the habit of Israelis to interpret Anglo-Saxon courtesy as agreeing with everything they say. I'm sure Mr Obama reiterated his promise that "a nuclear Iran is not acceptable". However, if by "action" Mr Netanyahu meant a military attack, Mr Obama, just licking the wounds of Iraq and Afghanistan, and hoping to be re-elected, interprets "action" differently: a variety of measures, including firmer sanctions, maybe a naval blockade and military action only as a very last resort.
Mr Netanyahu went straight to the standing ovations of Aipac. Did he go there as a victor? Surely he convinced the US President that Israel is serious. But did he get a green light for an independent Israeli move? Or did he get a firm pledge that America will attack? My gut feeling is that on both issues Mr Obama remained vague.
While the Aipac crowd loved Netanyahu's speech, with its reference to the Holocaust, back home Israelis are not so keen. People here have in their minds Meir Dagan, former head of Mossad, who, upon retiring, embarked on a crusade to stop Israeli warmongering over Iran.
That Israel should always count on itself goes without saying. This doesn't mean that it should rush to action at all costs. But if Netanyahu backs down from his Churchillian speeches, Israelis will not hold it against him.

China's future has world talking shop
Page Tools
Window shopping in Shanghai. The retail sector is booming in China.
Photo: AFP
A sales boom is luring foreign manufacturers to a market set to grow to $3.7 trillion in 10 years.
Yang Jing, a pastry chef with a sweet tooth, grins as he pops into his mouth one of his most sumptuous creations: a ball of luxury French chocolate, mixed with cream, vodka and ginger and decorated with flakes of real gold.
The 32-year-old could hardly have imagined such luxury when he was growing up in a Beijing of ration coupons and kiosks.
Now Mr Yang's corpulent figure is hard to equate with the scrawny boy he once was, a transformation that embodies the remarkable consumption habits of the world's most populous nation. From luxury confectionery and designer clothes to imported beers and expensive cars, Chinese shoppers are buying as they have never bought before.
Sales at restaurants and retail outlets are growing even faster than the spectacular 9 per cent annual expansion of the economy.
China has overtaken the US in sales of televisions and mobile phones. In the next few years, it will become the biggest market for computers. And a double-digit rise in urban incomes has drawn Cartier, Prada and Armani to expand here faster than anywhere else.
The rise in consumption has alarmed dietitians, who say that obesity rates have doubled in 10 years, and environmentalists, who say the planet will be doomed if China's 1.3 billion people start to eat and shop like Americans.
But foreign retailers are queueing to influence the tastes of a still- embryonic market. The latest group of proselytisers was a party of luxury chocolate makers from France, Switzerland and Russia, who participated alongside Mr Yang at China's first international chocolate fair.
"China is the future of civilisation," said Sylvie Douce, producer of the Salon de Chocolat. "In Japan, when we first arrived, they didn't eat much chocolate, but now everyone does. It will be the same here. I want to be here right at the start."
With sales of chocolate forecast to triple between 1998 and 2008, foreign firms are keen to be the first to control lucrative niches.
Executives from the world's best-known clothing and accessory companies are also acutely aware of the potential. "China is certainly the most prominent and most important market we have in front of us," Paolo Fontanelli, chief financial officer for Giorgio Armani, told delegates at a luxury brand conference in Shanghai.
With hundreds of millions of peasants still below the poverty line, China is an unbalanced market. But analysts believe the only way is up. Merrill Lynch estimates that only 30 million people - 2 per cent of the population - can afford luxury goods, but by 2009, China will account for 20 per cent of the world market in such high-end products.
At the Salon de Chocolat, there were certainly plenty of people willing to splash out. Liu Ying, 26, a trading company employee, said her income had risen more than 50 per cent in the past few years. She has used the extra cash to buy a Gucci watch, a Coach bag, and a necklace from Folli Follie.
Her conspicuous consumption is a long way from the values of her parents' generation. But she said they had accepted the change. "As long as I can afford to pay, they don't mind what I buy."

Best Practices
CSU Dominguez Hills
Our committee continues to provide a variety of programs and services to our students and the campus. During our health fairs each semester, the Alcohol Awareness Coordinating Team (AACT) sponsors "Sober Shots." Students are given the opportunity to shoot a basketball unimpaired. They then put on Fatal Vision goggles, which represent differing amounts of impairment based on a certain blood alcohol content (BAC) level. Students then attempt taking a shot at the basket. Each session, hundreds of students attempt the sober shot. Committee members then talk about motor-skill and decision-making impairment when drinking different levels of alcohol. The main message is not to drink and drive. Students are given literature and a BAC meter.
This, along with our Halloween BAC Drac (Dracula in costume) program and our Spring Break Designated Driver Contract programs allow our AACT members to interact with students on the subject of alcohol consumption, making good decisions, and the importance of understanding how their bodies process and are affected by alcohol. We have learned that our students have histories that include losing friends and relatives to alcohol (including alcohol poisoning) drunk drivers. They greatly appreciate the BAC meters and are amazed by the effects of the Fatal Vision goggles. We average about 150 Spring Break Designated Driver Contracts each year for this event, held the week before to spring break.
The Office of Student Life and the AACT teamed up to bring back our X Factor program. For this program, about 50 students and staff wear a black shirt with a large X on the front. Once these shirts are seen on numerous people around various parts of campus, students begin to ask what they represent. When asked, the person wearing the shirt, who has a supply of X'ed out cards, hands the person asking about the shirt one of their cards. These cards include a scenario in which someone was lost to drinking and driving, alcohol abuse, or drug abuse. Another magnetized card is also handed out with resource referral and contact information and six statements for "Ways to Refuse a Drink." This card also shows a visual representation of "how the body metabolizes one drink per hour for beer, wine, and hard liquor shots."
For more information, contact Sonja Daniels.

Hi all, The (test-case) form in Rackunit accepts a variable number of expressions as the test body. This can be a problem if one writes (as has happened in the wild at least once to my knowledge): (define-test-suite my-suite (test-case "Make sure foo returns 3" (foo) 3)) This wouldn't be a problem if a (begin) were mandatory for multi-expression test cases: the above form would be a syntax error in that case. Should rackunit be changed to accept (test-case name expr) only? Regards, Tony

Infant Mortality
Learn about infant mortality in the United States, including causes and differences in rates among population groups.
About Infant Mortality
Infant mortality is the death of an infant before his or her first birthday. The infant mortality rate (IMR) is the number of infant deaths for every 1,000 live births. In addition to giving us key information about maternal and infant health, the IMR is generally viewed as an important marker of the overall health of a society. In 2014, for every 1,000 babies born in the United States, almost 6 died before their first birthday, a record low. However, racial and geographic differences in infant mortality rates remain.
Disparities in Infant Mortality
In 2014, the IMR for non-Hispanic black infants was more than twice the IMR for non-Hispanic white infants.
Infant Mortality Rates by Race and Hispanic Origin, United States, 2014
Source: National Birth and Death files accessed through CDC WONDER.
Healthy People provides science-based, 10-year national objectives for improving the health of all Americans. One of the Healthy People 2020 objectives is to reduce the rate of all infant deaths. In 2014, 26 states met the Healthy People 2020 target of 6.0 infant deaths per 1,000 live births. Geographically, infant mortality rates in 2014 were highest among states in the south. Rates were also high in some states in the Midwest.
Infant Mortality Rates by State, 2014

Contributors to Infant Mortality
Preterm birth, or being born too early (before 37 weeks of pregnancy), is the biggest contributor to infant death. In 2013, about one third (36%) of infant deaths were due to preterm-related causes. Among non-Hispanic black infants, preterm-related causes of death rates are three times higher than those of non-Hispanic white infants. Other contributors to infant mortality include:
- Low weight at birth
- Birth defects
- Pregnancy complications for the mother
- Sudden unexpected infant death and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
- Accidents (unintentional injuries)
To reduce the number of babies dying within their first year, the rates of preterm birth and racial disparities need to be addressed. We can work to reduce preterm birth using the following strategies:
- Providing women age 18–44 access to care before and between pregnancies;
- Identifying women at risk for giving birth too early and offering effective treatments to prevent preterm birth;
- Discouraging deliveries before 39 weeks without a medical need;
- Preventing unintended pregnancies and achieving ideal birth spacing (length of time between pregnancies); and
- When undergoing in vitro fertilization, electing single embryo transfer as appropriate to reduce multiple births.
