Former Texas Congressman Charlie Wilson used to describe himself as "a poster boy" for heart transplants, but when he died of cardiopulmonary arrest last week at 76 it called into question the nation's organ allocation system.
Wilson, whose transplant was performed at Methodist Hospital in October 2007, had quickly moved up the national waiting list not because of any celebrity status but because the agency that matches donor organs to recipients prioritizes sickest patients highest of all. That spring Wilson's doctors had told him he'd die soon without a transplant.
James Nielsen/Chronicle
Charlie Wilson benefitted from a national allocation system that prioritizes that available donor organs go to the sickest patients.
Wilson, only five years younger than the all-time oldest heart transplant recipient, lived 2 1/3 years after the transplant, undoubtedly special time to him and his loved ones. But given that the average survival time after a heart transplant is 10 years, some in the transplant and ethics communities are increasingly asking whether a higher priority for organs whose demand exceeds the supply should be the likely outcome. That is, should the probable success of a transplant be the greatest consideration?
"I think it's time to reassess the criteria and give more weight to transplants that result in longer and better quality lives," says Art Caplan, director of the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Bioethics. "Certainly, that's nothing outlandish — that's the principle that informs triage, vaccine distribution, ICU beds."
The optimal use of organs is of paramount importance. Eighteen Americans die every day waiting for an organ transplant, a total of 6,700 in 2008, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. There are currently more than 105,000 people on the United Network for Organ Sharing's waiting list for a donation, most of them kidney patients, more than 3,000 of them heart patients. Many won't get a donation in time.
To be sure, the allocation of donor organs is guided by a formula that takes many factors into account — matches of tissue and blood type, immune status, geography and the patient's length of time on the waiting list. But UNOS spokeswoman Anne Paschke acknowledges that medical urgency is typically the No. 1 consideration, a preference that goes back to transplants' experimental days, when it was logical to test the procedure on people with no other hope.
Paschke says that expected outcomes are slowly becoming more of a component of allocation formulas. There's been no change in the heart allocation formula, but a committee recently reworked the lung allocation policy so a candidate's transplant rating now reflects whether the transplant will be successful, in addition to the other considerations.
Still, it remains to be seen what sort of formulas ultimately emerge. Dr. Charles Van Buren, director of the division of immunology and organ transplantation at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, says a committee he recently served on was excited about its consensus that kidney allocation should take into greater account the candidate's likely outcome, only to have it rejected by two groups to which it was submitted.
"Both the public and the Department of Justice didn't like the age implications of our recommendation that kidneys go to people likely to benefit the longest," says Van Buren. "The public didn't like it because the average age of kidney transplant recipients is 57 and the Department of Justice had concerns it would amount to age discrimination."
So who do you side with?

Background Check Policy and Volunteer Information
Welcome to Mountain Park Athletic Association's volunteer page. We appreciate your desire to either coach team or volunteer to work at the park. For the safety and well being of each and every child participating in the Mountain Park Athletic Association, it is the policy of the Association to obtain and utilize background checks for screening potential coaches, volunteers, board members, commissioners, and/or any other position of authority within the Association.
Mountain Park Athletic Association (MPAA) Screening / Background Check Policy Statement
I. Statement
Criminal background screening on Board Members, Directors and Coaches will be conducted by a third party screening company as set forth in the MPAA By-Laws in an effort to protect the children who participate in organized sports and related activities associated with MPAA.
II. Definitions
MPAA recognizes a Board Member as any adult who has either been elected or appointed by the members of this association. A Director is any person who is responsible for the business, communication, and participation of a specific sport registered with MPAA. A Coach is any person who attends practices and/or games, working closely with the children and is involved in assisting the Director with his/her duties. The criminal background screening is mandatory, no exceptions.
III. Procedure
As a condition of becoming a coach or volunteer, an executed authorization form and a background check submission form shall be completed online and submitted to the private agency selected by Mountain Park Athletic Association for conducting an individual criminal background check. The agency selected by the Association is KidSafePlus .
To access the background check:
- Go to http://plaympaa.siplay.com/ and click the button labeled Click Here to Register.
- Login or Create an Account if you have not done so previously.
- Select the Apply to Coach/Volunteer button.
- Scroll down and find the sport you are volunteering for (ex. Fall Football, Spring Baseball, etc.)
- Select the role you are volunteering for.
- Select the Division you are volunteering for.
- Select Register.
- Enter Comment as needed.
- Select Continue
- Agree to Coach's Commitment.
- Continue to Checkout.
- Complete Order.
Many coaches volunteer for more than 1 sport. It is possible that the existing background check has not yet expired; thus, a background check will not prompt. It is probable that an existing background check will expire during a sport season. If that is the case volunteers will be reached out to by MPAA.
Only board members of the screening committee will review data obtained, which will then be processed discreetly. All information is strictly confidential and will not be made public under any circumstances. Reasons for being declined the opportunity to participate in MPAA are listed below. In some instances, factors of time may be taken into account when considering coaching eligibility (i.e. length of time since disposition of certain offenses). A committee, chaired by the MPAA Board President along with Vice President and the Director of the sport for which background check is initiated will review background check information and determine coaching eligibility. The decision of this committee is final and may not be appealed. All criminal history record information will be promptly destroyed at the end of each MPAA season. All Board members, directors and coaches are required to notify the screening committee immediately following an arrest or conviction of any of the listed offenses. Any board member, director, or coach, who while serving at MPAA is arrested for committing an offense as listed, will immediately forfeit his/her eligibility until disposition by the courts. A conviction of an offense as listed will result in termination of eligibility as stated in the policy.
The following is a list of offenses prohibiting an applicant from participation as a Board Member, Director or Coach under Mountain Park Athletic Association (MPAA) Offenses including but not limited to the following:
Assault (including aggravated and sexual)
Aggravated Kidnapping

**Eligibility dependent upon the severity and length of time since offense occurred.

Shaheed Karam Chand square to be built in Palampur, Himachal Pradesh
Paying respect to the brave and fearless soldiers of the Indian Army who put their lives at stake to protect the public of India becomes the foremost duty of every Indian. Himachal Pradesh has been very up and active in fulfilling its responsibilities as far as the admiration of the sacrifices made by these martyrs is concerned. One more example to support this statement is the construction of a Square in Palampur, named after the shaheed Karam Chand Katoch.
Mr. Karam Chand Katoch was a sepoy in the Indian Army and fought in the 1962 India-China war. He never retuned back to his family since then. The news of him being dead also came after decades. He was from the Agojar village, Palampur, Himachal Pradesh.
The authorities of Palampur and the panchayat of the village Agojar have decided to pay a tribute to this martyr. They have resolved to build a square in the village which will be named after the shaheed Karam Chand Katoch.
It is the duty of the government as well as the public to recognise and honour the sacrifices these martyrs have made. As we all are aware of the fact that Himachal Pradesh has given numerous fearless soldiers to the Indian defence services who are ever ready to give up their lives for their mother land , India .This is the reason why Himachal Pradesh is also called the Veerbhoomi along with Devbhoomi.
The construction of this square will be a huge step in recognising the selfless efforts made by our soldiers. On the occasion of the death anniversary of Shaheed Karam Chand Katoch, the public welfare minister of the state , Thakur Gulab Singh has announced the construction of the square named after Karam Chand. The state government has always been very enthusiastically celebrating the 'shaheedi diwas' year after year in the remembrance of the brave soldiers of the nation .
Mr. Gulab Singh also inaugurated a bureau for assistant engineers in Lonivi, Palampur and a rest house too. He stated that every small village in Himachal Pradesh will be connected through roads in the tenure of Bhartiya Janta Party in Himachal.

ELMHURST, Ill. − The Summit League Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) concluded its ninth annual meeting in Chicago last weekend. Fourteen student-athletes from the league's eight member institutions discussed The Summit League Food Fight initiative, exchanged ideas for improving their campus SAACs and reviewed NCAA legislation issues that affect student-athletes.
The meetings also included a chalk talk education seminar about the use of performance-enhancing drugs and supplements by Brian Parker of the Taylor Hooton Foundation.
The committee also participated in a community service outing at Children's Home and Aid Rice Family and Child Center, a non-profit organization designed to build a better life for children, youth and families dealing with poverty, abuse and neglect. The student-athletes conducted a series of basketball, volleyball, soccer and track clinics teaching the children different skills and drills for each of the various sports.
Those student-athletes attending the conference were Lauren Bennett (South Dakota), Alexis Klug (South Dakota), Anna Labozan (Denver), Mariana Lopez-Owens (IUPUI), Nate Mattson (North Dakota State), Amy Mattingly (IUPUI), Steph Paluch (South Dakota State), Adam Pettyes (Denver), Lauren Psota (Omaha), Hailie Ripley (Fort Wayne), Tim Saltys (Fort Wayne), Heather Smith (Western Illinois), Fawn Weihl (South Dakota State), Kelley Wollak (Omaha).
In its fourth decade of Division I athletics, The Summit League offers 19 championship sports and has a combined enrollment of over 120,000 at eight institutions, including three located in top 60 U.S. metro populations and two land-grant universities. Member institutions include: Denver (University of Denver), Fort Wayne (Indiana University-Purdue University-Fort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis), North Dakota State University, Omaha (University of Nebraska Omaha), the University of South Dakota, South Dakota State University and Western Illinois University. Previously known as the Mid-Continent Conference, The Summit League rebranded in 2007 and has since produced eight NCAA Champions, 62 All-Americans and 50 Academic All-America selections.

Quick Summary of One Click Pay Day
Rating: 1 You are paying for hype.
The Good: I can see no pros for this system at all.
The Bad: Exaggerations, a lack of information, fake testimonials and the preposterous notion you can make thousands of dollars by clicking once a day make One Click Pay Day incredibly suspicious.
The Bottom Line: One Click Per Day is everything that is currently wrong with Internet Marketing. They hype up building an online business as something it's not and they try to make you feel as if you've already won the lottery and just need to pay for the ticket in order to cash out. Don't fall for their bullshit. Learn how to build a real business online instead.
This video will show you the simplest and fastest way to make money online today. Watch it for free right now.
One Click Pay Day Review
Unlike a lot of people who dread waking up to commute to a boring dead-end job, I wake up every day excited to work on my business and to make money online.
I know for a fact that the internet is an exceptional way for you to become your own boss and make extra money, maybe even life changing amounts.
I also know that it takes a lot of work, learning, sweat, tears and money to succeed.
This is why I hate seeing online systems that state they can make you money with a push of a button or a click of a mouse and little else.
Let me tell you about one of these systems: One Click Pay Day.
One Click Pay Day by Kathy Evans
The sales pitch for One Click Pay Day is a lengthy video that entices you in straight away by suggesting they have already made you a money making website and all you need to do is keep watching.
This is complete BS, there's no way they would generate a website just because someone is watching a video. Even if it's automated, it takes server resources and space to make. Plus, what would be the point as you may not even finish watching the video?
Apparently this has been done live (via a recorded video…) and is already making you money by funnelling commissions into your account.
Seriously? Does anyone fall for this? Sadly, I know people do.
Who is Kathy Evans?
My best guess is that Kathy Evans is fictional. The name is incredibly generic and as such you cannot really find a specific person on Google.
This is of course intentional. If you look at scams and less that ethical products out there, they all tend to use generic names to make searching harder.
As well as that the company supposedly behind this system, Fast Track LLC, cannot be traced on any US government website. They don't supply an address or phone number either.
What legitimate company makes it hard for you to find them? None of course, which makes One Click Pay Day even more suspicious.
Red Flags
The sales pitch continues on and there are a few elements of it that really raise red flags and should make you very wary.
These people are paid actors, and as such their testimonials cannot be trusted.
Don't believe me? Well here's the guy who apparently makes $20,000 a week selling his professional services on Fiverr.com:
He probably doesn't make $20,000 a week…
If the guy is earning over a million a year, why is he still selling cheap video snippets?
And this free video will show you exactly everything you need to do to get started. Click here to watch it now.
The 1%
While the 1% is only slightly touched on in this video, probably because it's been in the news, other related and worrying elements are shown time and time again.
It discusses how basically you're poor and you deserve better and that this system can provide that for you.
This type of tactic is designed to make you emotional, because people you are feeling emotional tend to make rash decisions such as buying random products from the internet.
Old School
According to Kathy, One Click Pay Day is the same system she used back in 2012 to become a millionaire.
This makes me worried as the tactic sand tricks used five years ago were scammy and completely black hat: simply trying to game the system.
This led to an arms race between unethical marketers and search engines.
Any tactics from 5 years ago are highly unlikely to work now, because search engines like Google know all the tricks and take action against them.
Whenever something says it is an automated or a one click system, beware! There is nothing in this world that will make you money simply by clicking a button.
Don't get me wrong, there's a place for automation and it can help streamline a business and make you more money, but what it can't do is be the business and that's what Kathy is saying here. All you need to do is click a button, no skills, effort or anything.
That sort of system does not exist so it cannot work!
No Information
This for me is a huge red flag: the sales pitch spins a great story on how One Click Pay Day can make you rich, but it doesn't actually tell you anything about how that will happen.
With no information you will be paying out your money on a hope and a dream. Dreams are great, but this is business, so let's be rational and think about why they are not providing you with any information on how the system works!
You Made a Sale!
According to Kathy you made 4 sales (and some later on in the video too).
I'm not quite sure how she managed to create a site, market the site and generate earnings in the space of ten minutes. It's not normal, and if I'm blunt not likely.
The screenshot provided proves nothing as it could easily have been mocked up in Photoshop.
It also suggests that the site you made has hit thousands of likes on Facebook, again within a few minutes. This is just ridiculous, surely you can see that? Cat photos and memes can get thousands of likes quickly, businesses take a lot longer because, well, they aren't funny or interesting!
Watch this free video now to see how you can build a part or full-time income online. Click here to watch it now.
How Much?
Off the bat Kathy suggests that this system will make you an average of $1,000 to $2,000 a day.
These sorts of earnings claims are wild, and most likely exaggerated. This is pretty obvious, but just to make you think, the sites earnings disclaimer actually states that the average person will not make any money.
Well, that's encouraging…
Which is it then, $2k or nothing? I'm betting on nothing.
The Bottom Line
At the end of the day I can't call One Click Pay Day an outright scam, but it has a lot of indicators that suggest it's certainly not a good way to make money online. In fact, I believe that you'll end up losing money and time by using this system.
One Click Per Day is everything that is currently wrong with Internet Marketing. They hype up building an online business as something it's not and they try to make you feel as if you've already won the lottery and just need to pay for the ticket in order to cash out.
Don't fall for their bullshit. Learn how to build a real business online instead.

April and Chris,
Just wanted to drop you an email to tell you about my experience at you school. I had a great time! I'm sore and paying a small price this morning but that's because of age and being out of shape. My experience with your instructors was nothing but outstanding. I'm a novice at wake boarding and was having trouble getting out of the water. After the first set I believe the instructor spoke with you and it was agreed I would go to another lake and try some other techniques. As soon as that happened I got right up on the boom and short rope. After the lunch break I went back to Lake 3 again and the next set I was up and out of the water. I still need to work getting out of the water but your staff has put me on the road to developing the skills I need. I think it's important for the both of you as business owners to know how your staff represents you and your business. The three I came in contact with did an outstanding job. They certainly know there sport and how to work with people. There excitement and enthusiasm about water sports clearly showed as we went through the day.
In closing I'd like to say thanks again to your staff. I have two small children and a wife that are avid water sports enthusiasts and with being 30 minutes away in Fuquay Varina I hope to get each of them to your school in the future.

Question: What is this allergy or aversion to certain noises/sounds called?
It's called misophonia.
It literally translates as "hatred of sound". Miso comes from the Ancient Greek for hate and phonia means sound.
Question: What do we know about it?
Actually very few studies of misophonia have been made. That's one of the reasons I set up this site – to try and pool our collective knowledge and experiences into one place.
The more we can uncover about this condition the more we'll be able to discover about how it works. Further evidence may lead to more scientific studies which may lead to possible treatments/coping strategies.
Question: How serious is it?
Misophonia seems to operate on a scale from mild to severe. So some sufferers might suffer medium/strong irritation at the 'trigger' sounds – but can 'cope'. In other words they can still go about their day and take part in normal activities without having panic attacks. Others will experience a reaction so extreme that it may significantly affect relationships, their work life and in some (rare) cases may even lead to depression and even suicide.
Question: I think I suffer from misophonia, am I mad?
No. You just have super sensitive, super amazing (and often infuriating) antennae.

At some point in our lives many of us will witness someone we're close to experiencing anxiety, stress or anxiety based depression. Whilst anxiety is a deeply personal condition, there are ways you can support a loved one in managing their condition.
Text Service: 07537 416 905
Supporting Others
Some signs your friend or loved one is experiencing anxiety:
They feel unwell. Anxiety has a variety of unpleasant physical symptoms, and your friend might frequently complain of having chest pains or a racing heart. They may feel sick a lot and have no appetite, or always seem tired.
Something seems off. People with anxiety can appear restless, tense or "out of sorts". They might come across as nervous, even in situations they'd normally be relaxed in. Some people are irritable and others more prone to emotional reactions such as crying.
There's a change in their normal routine. They might be cancelling plans to events you've invited them too, or seeming distant and withdrawn when with you.
They are drawn to the negative side of things, focussing on the worst case scenarios and obsessing over potential problems or situations that haven't happened yet. As anxious-based thoughts are not rational, simply explaining that their thoughts are unfounded won't always reassure them.
Below are a list of a few simple things that you can do to support someone living with anxiety, stress or anxiety based depression:
Be reliable
For those experiencing anxiety, stress or anxiety based depression it can make a world of difference to know that they have someone they can depend on. By letting them know that you are always there, should they need you, can act as a real reassurance.
Ask how you can help
Anxiety, stress and anxiety based depression can affect different people in very different ways. What can be helpful for some people may not be for others, and so it can be important to ask what you can do rather than simply handing out advice. Some people may not be able to tell you exactly how you can help, but it's good to allow them to try.
Encourage them to try new things
Trying something new can be a great distraction. Is there an art class they have always wanted to try or maybe something that they have never thought about giving a go? The great thing about this is that it could be something that you could do together.
Don't only focus on anxiety
While it's important that individuals feels comfortable opening up about anxiety, try to make sure that is not the only thing that your relationship focuses on. Remind them that anxiety does not define a person; they are much more than anxiety. Encourage doing things that they enjoy, exercising, spending time outdoors and socialising. These can all act as a good distraction.
Encourage them to explore support options
There are a range of support options available for those experiencing anxiety, stress and anxiety based depression, and different options can work for different people. Whether it's self-help resources, support groups or accessing reduced cost therapy through Anxiety UK, the most important thing is that the person knows that there is help available and it's just about finding what works best for them.
Encourage them to include exercise in their day
Exercise can have a huge impact on a person's mental well-being. Whether it's walking, running or joining a local sports team, exercise is something that you can do together and both feel the benefits from. So get those trainers on and encourage them to do the same.
If you have any tips of your own, please feel free to share them in the comments section below.

Creating Wireless Bliss with dd-wrt
I have been running alternate firmware on my Linksys routers for years now. I only buy Linksys routers to the point that I check compatibility before the purchase of a new one. I realize you can use a various amount of different routers, I just have had great luck with Linksys. I have suffered with slow bandwidth around the house to accommodate for all my portable devices that only supports Wireless-G. Here I will show you that you can make a full scale 300mbps wireless topology while adhering to the legacy devices.
To understand my setup, I will outline what all I have and use it for.
Computer room:
This is where the DSL comes in the house.
Main Router: Linksys E3000 – Firmware dd-wrt e2000-3000-big 192.168.1.1
Computer direct connected running Windows Media server
Living room:
Secondary Router: Linksys E2000 (upgraded from WRT310 for 5Ghz option spectrum) 192.168.1.2
Direct TV HR24 DVR with Whole House DVR
PS3 – DLNA Media Streaming Server
Onkyo TX-NR5007
Tertiary Router: Linksys E2000 (also upgraded from 310) 192.168.1.2
Direct TV HR24 WHDVR
Samsung Flatscreen with DNLA capable – pretty crappy if I may say so though.
**Also, lets not forget that I use a laptop, iPad and have android phones in the house. The iPad has Wireless-N, but the phones will utilize the G, so I need something that can be backwards compatible. Remember, in wireless…If you have something running on a G band, even though it is on an N network this will bring everyone down to G level speeds. This is where the fun of the Linksys E3000 and it's dual bands for 2 SSID's come in. 🙂
Now here is why I need all the routers. Most of the items on these lists only use Ethernet. And I don't understand why they think you are going to run Ethernet all over your house. I had no plans in doing that at all. So to get around all that, I bought three routers and made two of them Client Bridges. I recommend this plan if you intend to use a 720p to 1080p media stream capabilities. You can do it with G transmitting at 54 Mbps, but expect choppy and lag when intense explosions render extra bandwidth needs. This will give the maximum bandwidth to about 30 Mbps when you will require much more for High Def streaming. For example, here you can see that my limitations have been met while streaming "The Social Network" from my pc to the PS3. As you can see it works fine because the movie doesn't really have a lot of action and looks great at 720p. But lets say you want to get an action movie and it is in 1080p. There would be no way to watch it at some points. Fast forwarding and rewinding these types of movies are totally out of the question because of lag. Also, the PS3 uses a wireless-G card, so we have to take that out of the mix. To do that we put a Wireless Client Bridge with N-Only capabilities in front of it. The end result will give you astonishing bandwidth to multiple rooms being able to rewind and fast forward digital movies with ease. Streaming media players are only getting more popular with the use of Netflix. However, even though I subscribe to them I wish their quality was better.
Off to the installation…
I am not going through the flashing and learning of the interface. I trust that the people interested will utilize their WIKI's for each individual supported router. http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index. The site has great information about setup do's and don'ts.
Here is my configuration for the Wireless Lan 0 (wl0)
We are going to need this for the cell phones, guests or basically anyone who's device cannot see N routers on a 5GHz spectrum. There are more devices than you think. As I sit here typing on my crappy Lenovo laptop that has wireless N, but cannot see 5GHz. Only 2.4.
Next we will configure the 5GHz only spectrum on the primary router.
Here I configured the secondary SSID Access Point for N-only. I chose a specific channel off of what I read on a forum as a guideline. I just didn't want it set to Auto. Then I changed the Channel Width to 40.
Now we save those changes and setup the Client Bridges. Assuming you know how to configure your router with IP, PPOE and all the other necessary information for your DSL\Cable.
Client Bridge 1
Now the client bridge needs to be setup. I recommend you save the setting as you switch pages so you don't keep having to restart the router. Also, clicking apply once you set the router to a client bridge seals the deal. So if there is a mistake, you will have to hard reset the router. This isn't uncommon for getting multiple routers hooked up. I must have had to reset one of the at least 2 times each thinking I was done. Setting up the client bridge is the easiest part. Just really 3 steps.
1) Assign it an IP that is in range with your primary router (ie 192.168.1.2)
2) Give the settings i listed in the picture.
3) Assign the same security that you gave the primary router with the 5GHz channel including the same password.
Hit apply and jump on your network and ping the 192.168.1.2 until it responds. If you don't receive something within a minute, big chances that a reset of the secondary router is in your future. Start over and try it again. Once the routers are communicating you can go into the main router and look at the clients. From here on out you can add as many wireless client bridges as you would like. Just give them different names and ip's. This turned my Wireless-G PS3 into a 5GHz N only ultra media player. Ok, I really just wanted to use the word ultra for my home theater setup. Below is the bandwidth after I added the Wireless-N only 5GHz only prepared at going 300 mpbs.

In talks with DQ Channels Vivek Malhotra, Vice President—General Business & Global Channel highlights the focus areas and discusses about partner packaging factory which enable partners to grow with SAP.
What were some of the new developments for SAP this past year?
From my business perspective, SAP has done very well in 2017. Global Channels & General Business continues to be a growth engine for us in the country. We are continuously growing in terms of revenue and also acquiring more customers.
For our good books, a big credit goes to mid market segment. Out of our 9000+ customers a major chunk i.e 80% of them belongs to SME customers, which is categorized as General Business (GB) vertical. In 2017, we've acquired the largest ever number of net new customers that we ever did for the GB line of business. And we will continue to acquire many net new customers every year. What we intend to do is going beyond metro cities. SAP will continue the activities to acquire new customers across industries and across geographies.
In the non-metro space, we've identified around 20 odd high focus clusters; which are a mix of different industries. We are collaborating closely with lot of industry associations & communities and thus gradually increasing penetration into that market. And it's not only about us increasing our business, but we are also providing our customers a structured way of working. It takes a good amount of training and our GTM primarily in the GB space is based on channels ecosystem, which is well equipped and trained.
Will there be any change in the GTM strategy this year?
Our plan primarily is to be 100% channel-led for our General business vertical. We currently operate completely through channels in the entire non-metro space and it also includes some of the good chunk of metro space. We have considerably strengthened our partner ecosystem. We are planning to continue this momentum and from the 100 plus performing partners currently, we look forward to doubling it by the end of 2018.
As I mentioned, we are working on strengthening the channel ecosystem, ensuring that they have the right amount of skills to not only engage with the customer but also enabling them to provide the right full-services to the customers, so that the dream that the customer has in terms of implementing SAP and the outcome they are looking for turns into reality easily.
In addition to this, we have partner enabling programs, such as the SAP PartnerEdge program. Under this initiative; our partners are invited on a regular basis to send their employees to be enabled on how to go about pitching SAP, on how to go about doing the implementation. We have trained a very large number of partners over the last couple of years and we will continue to do so.
Please elaborate what is partner packaging factory?
Partner Packaging Factory primarily is an approach. With the help of it, we identify sub-segments in an industry, look at the solution that the partners have rolled out for their customers, and then take those specific solutions to that specific industry sub-segment for a faster roll out.
And who are designing those solutions?
These solutions are primary designed by the SAP partners, along with the implementation methodology. We help them develop a story line where they templatize it, so that they can have a faster deployment. For example, couple of months back we had created a storyline around GST-in-a-box; which is a bundled solution with all the end to end elements required for the customers. It included the hardware, the SAP S/4HANA solution as well as the entire lifecycle of the implementation. With GST-in-a-box, what we worked towards was that in about 10 to 12 weeks' time, the customer would go live on these solutions. So, you're talking about a customer making a purchase today, starting the implementation tomorrow and in 90 days, ready to go out into the market. So that's what GST-in-a-box was, and that's the direction where we are taking our Partner Packaging Factory to. We have close to around 30 odd solutions in the spaces of SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors, CRM and others, which are ready for different industries, and different industry sub segments.
How many partners are there right now in this factory?
There are close to eight to ten partners who are part of this initiative. We are aiming to increase the count. The partners create a package and take it to the customers with minimal amount of changes that would need to be done on that. The basic aim of partner factory is to give faster implementation cycle and also helps the partners reduce the TCO for the customer.
What are the criteria to choose the partner to be in the factory?
We basically pick up those partners who have had some successful implementations in certain specific industries and industry sub-segments. Primarily, the focus is around the industries that they operate in and whether those solutions are replicable by nature or not. And those solutions should be such, which could be able to taken to the multiple customers in the specific industry across in metros and non-metros.
What are the challenges that MSME segment is still facing?
The challenges that MSMEs primarily face are about the resource and the skill being available in their respective locations. And with our Bharat ERP program that we launched about two quarters back, we're trying to solve that problem. What it means is that in those locations, we did a tie up with the Ministry of MSMEs. They have around 32 tool rooms across in the country, almost one in each state capital.
We are in the process of going ahead and setting a 'Train the Trainer' lab in those tool rooms. We have picked up five key tool rooms, where we're making experts. These experts are further training the local people present in that territory. We are expecting to digitally enable nearly 30,000 MSMEs and youth in the next three years as the program expands. We have a very large skill base, and we're looking to increase it multi-fold as we move on.
Can you tell us more about SAP Leonardo, especially from MSMEs point of view?
SAP Leonardo is basically a next generation solution, which helps a customer with predictive analytics in some format using the next-generation technologies such as IoT, blockchain, machine learning, big data analytics and others. With respect to MSMEs, they are still are at a stage where they're getting on to implementations of ERP, so I am not sure, how soon will we see them starting to utilize SAP Leonardo as an offering. It's a little while away. We are eager to take this in that space as soon as possible.
In your opinion, what are the verticals that are adopting technology very fast?
The manufacturing and discrete manufacturing sectors continue to be on the top, and that's what the 'Make in India' story line also talks about. We're also seeing the significant amount of adoption in our space coming into the services industries. So, we'll start seeing that coming in as we move along with our newer offerings, which will get launched shortly.
And how is the SAP accelerated program progressing?
It's progressing well. Beyond the program, we are also working with quite a few start-ups in the country to build up apps on top of the SAP Cloud Platform which can help enhance the productivity and efficiency of our customers. It's a very important area of focus for us, and as we walk down that path, it's making us a lot more flexible, agile and nimble in terms of the offerings that we give to our customers, or the start-ups can give to the customer in the market today.
In terms of partners and business what will be your focus point for 2018?
So, 'Grow with SAP' is a main mantra for us. With respect to partners, our key focus would be enhanced reach into the market. Our key focus would continue to be working towards enabling partner to get higher margins, and make sure our partners look forward to having our business being a lot more relevant.
We will also continue to grow in the non-metro space, expanding the partner ecosystem, and continuing to ensure that we embrace cloud a lot more. Our cloud contribution has grown up significantly and faster than market. So, those would be the key focus areas for us as we move on in 2018.

Accelerated Marketing Partners Conducted Oct. 4 Auction for Nouvelle at Natick
Natick, MA (Oct. 21st, 2009) In an unprecedented event for the Greater Boston area, homebuyers
purchased 55 one-, two- and three-bedroom homes totaling more than $20 million in sales in just two
hours at the Oct. 4 Nouvelle at Natick real estate auction conducted by Accelerated Marketing Partners (AMP).
Minimum bids for the residences started at $160,000, which was up to 72 percent below last asking prices.
Accepted bids ranged from 36 to 64 percent below last asking prices, and Nouvelle at Natick will now resume
its conventional sales and marketing program with price points reflecting those established by the market on
auction day.
In this challenging market, real estate auctions are the proven, tried-and-true way of jump-starting sales for new developments, both in Boston and around the country, said Jon Gollinger, co-founder and east coast chief executive officer of AMP, a full-service real estate marketing firm that has sold more than $600 million of residential real estate through events around the country in the last 18 months. While 44 homes were initially available at the auction, we added residences due to the overwhelming response from nearly 450 attendees. The developer now knows what the market is willing to pay for Nouvelle homes and will price the remaining 126 homes accordingly, to continue conventional sales and marketing efforts.
More than 7,000 individuals visited Nouvelle and more than 4,900 unique visitors logged onto the auction Web site since the sale was announced Sept. 10. The residences were auctioned at 1:00 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza Boston-Natick Hotel, located at 1360 Worcester St., Natick, Mass.
AMP conducted a practice session the night before the auction, where potential buyers learned how to bid and were taught the relationship between auctioneer and prospective buyer. All bidders were required to register at the auction information center, to inspect homes and to present a $10,000 cash-equivalent before bidding at the auction. Bidders were also required to bring a personal check to enter the auction, should their bids be accepted.
Located at the Natick Collection, New Englands premier living, dining and shopping destination, including the states first Nordstrom and the areas only Neiman Marcus, Nouvelle at Natick features 215 condominium residences. The luxury development provides a sophisticated lifestyle that combines the comforts of suburban living with the kinds of amenities offered at five-star hotels.

Coaching with Business and Personal Coach Anne Wilkinson
Always open to trying something new, I was intrigued when I first met business and personal development coach, Anne Wilkinson and she told me about PSYCH-K®. I knew about coaching but had never heard of PSYCH-K®
Anne, a well-respected and experienced business coach for 18 years, is an Advanced Facilitator of PSYCH-K and certified NLP practitioner. We first met to discuss how I could support her social media and blogging activities and as we discussed her services and approach there was something in the way that she explained PSYCH-K® which resonated with me. It expands your 'field of potential' which is something I strive for in every aspect of my life.
Rob Williams who is the originator of PSYCH-K® (he refers to himself as the gatekeeper not the creator), explains it like this: "PSYCH-K® allows you to quickly and painlessly change subconscious beliefs that are limiting the full expression of your potential in life, as a spiritual being having a human experience. This includes your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
Having worked as a holistic health practitioner for ten years, I was familiar with the notion of our subconscious beliefs and how they can limit our potential. Limiting beliefs are something I struggle with in my personal and professional life all the time and I'm fully aware they stunt my personal growth and development, and in doing so, can diminish my life. Some limiting beliefs I do know about but I still can't quite get to the core of them to change them. Others are subconscious beliefs outside of awareness and even though they determine our life experience we can't change what we're not aware of.
This is why working with an external coach can get much better results and quicker than thinking things through or even goal setting on our own, we mostly don't see our own 'stuff'.
Many of my (conscious) limiting beliefs are simple phrases and conversations from my childhood that remain fully active. Sometimes they are noticeable as 'I'm not worth it' 'I'm not good enough' or 'you'll never amount to anything.' At other times it's more of an uncomfortable (or worse) feeling, or I procrastinate until I've missed the boat entirely.
Anne's passion for coaching and PSYCH-K® comes across clearly. She is so committed to helping her clients achieve their goals and potential that I couldn't resist asking if she could help me to release some of my negative thoughts that I know are holding me back in life.
First Session
I'll admit it, even though I'd signed up for it I was quite nervous as I drove to Leamington Spa for my first session. Anne had explained the process fully to me but actively being involved in the session was something else entirely.
'Would it work for me?'
'What was I letting myself in for?'
As with anything new we often struggle to change even when we know it is good for us. My subconscious was already telling me I was in danger and should turn back and drive right back home, but thankfully I didn't.
Anne welcomed me into her coaching practice at 39a Regent Street, Leamington Spa, a wonderfully light and airy space. She gave me a more in-depth introduction to the session before we settled in to talking through my goals and aspirations. We also discussed my client questionnaire which I'd filled in before the appointment and emailed over to her.
Through the coaching process we established three areas that were holding me back from achieving things in, business, finances and life; Self-doubt, fear of success and fear of abundance.
The irony was not lost that although I am enjoying more success as a published author, writer, blogger and workshop facilitator only I was aware of my inner struggle with confidence and I was having a very different experience on the inside, I feared some of the things that I wanted to achieve for myself.
Although the feelings and emotions attached to my beliefs come from experiences in my past, at the subconscious level they remain true. Our subconscious mind does not recognise the past or the future it operates only in the present moment. Anne helped me to make sense of how my beliefs were preventing me from achieving my potential and through the many 'aha' moments I could see the only thing that was holding me back was myself.
By this time I was really in the right place mentally to address the issues and feeling self-empowered I was ready to step into my power and change these unhelpful patterns.
Whilst the nervousness I had felt driving to my appointment is something Anne would expect from any new client she also explained this is another way that the subconscious was preparing to 'save' me from danger. The role of the subconscious mind is to keep us safe but it uses it's own library of beliefs to determine what that means which is often different from our conscious library of goals and desires.
Any change therefore can feel dangerous in the world of the habitual subconscious mind, change we know is good for us but it was triggering my 'fight or flight' response. I think this is what Susan Jeffers meant in her famous best-seller book 'Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway', published years ago.
The subconscious mind manages our bodily functions and is the auto-pilot that we rely heavily to navigate through life – literally! By repeating the same patterns over and over it believes it is keeping us safe from harm but often it is keeping us stuck as it uses outdated beliefs which were downloaded from our parents, family, teachers, friends and peers, particularly during our early years of zero to approximately seven years old.
Anne coached me through my vision and goals – an important part of her approach – and use of PSYCH-K® was how she reinforces throughout that the power of change does not lie with Anne as a coach or indeed the PSYCH-K process, it is within me, and you, and all of us.
We were born with the power to create a new experience for ourselves, but we were not taught this at school or pretty much anywhere. We just need some tools to help us. Anne describes herself as a facilitator of the change process, but not the creator of it.
We started the first session focusing on beliefs about self-worth, self-love and self-doubt which determines so much of our life experience. Anne calls these foundational beliefs and when you install the new enhancing beliefs using the PSYCH-K process it often has a domino benefit in wider areas of life/ business.
I got really clear about the evidence that I would want to know that the process worked and for me I knew it would be the physical evidence. My self-doubt feels like a bubbling sensation in the pit of my stomach as well as a mix of other physical sensations. To rid myself of these would be the evidence I needed. Anne also recommended that I continue to journal my observations following the session to gauge the changes and shifts and I found this to be a valuable part of the process.
Going through the PSYCH-K change process was a fascinating, powerful and meaningful experience for me. Unlike hypnotherapy you don't go into an altered state with PSYCH-K. Not only was I fully conscious I felt more in control than I had for a long time. I have found it useful to focus on the new beliefs I created within the sessions at home. PSYCH-K removes negativity and creates new potential, but we still must step up and take the follow-up action.
PSYCH-K® is more subtle than other personal change tools/therapies I have used as it changes the thought field through changing subconscious beliefs. I found I sometimes didn't notice until later when I was reflecting on something and I realise that I have done something that I wouldn't have done before, I didn't get upset in a situation that I would have previously, and I've seen a 'different me' when I look in the mirror. All in a good way.
The result so far
I have embraced certain aspects of my business with more confidence; speaking in public, going to networking events I previously avoided, feeling more comfortable about talking about money, seeing myself in a better light when I looked in the mirror and even doing Facebook videos! I'm about to attend my fourth session and there have been many shifts since I began coaching with Anne, so I am looking forward to where this journey takes me.
Anne offers face to face sessions and works remotely via Zoom, Skype and telephone.
She works with business clients at all levels across all sectors, including CEO's, leaders and managers within large organisations and SME companies. She particularly enjoys coaching small business owners and creatives.
If you are ready for more success and fulfilment in your business and life I recommend that you give Anne a call on 07968 134326, email her at firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit her website.

TreeHugger Picks: Wonderful World of Wool
Perhaps best known for making sweaters and socks, wool (and felted wool) is a wonderfully versatile material that can not only dress you from head to toe, but help light the room, store your stuff and provide a soft place to walk, and it's renewable and biodegradable to boot. Here are some of our picks that showcase some of the things available in the wonderful world of wool.
1) Conphorm bags saves space and resources with help from an ingenious design; Carabags are another good recycled wool choice for bags.
2) Mioculture's pendant light capsules make use of two felt shades and a fluorescent light bulb to create a gentle, subtle light.
3) Stuffbump, designed by Graham Hill and eco-designer extraordinaire (and TH contributor) Petz Scholtus, is a fun, felt storage system which, using a clever die cut pattern, allows a flat piece of material to be opened up and stuffed with small belongings, thus becoming a bump.
4) Sage, by Delano Collection features a coat created with a 100% organic wool shell and a lining made of bamboo fabric.
5) Emma Gardner has designed some beautiful wool rugs which were made under the labor guidelines of the RUGMARK Foundation, insuring no illegal child labor was used to make them.

Being that I am not an avid reader of science fiction, in fact I usually shy away from this genre, I was a bit unwary of tackling Blake Crouch's new release, Dark Matter. I persisted due to how much I loved his Wayward Pines trilogy, and I was more than rewarded for this decision.
A book like this is best read without much previous information, as Crouch slowly reveals bits of new information to the reader in a manner that keeps you glued to the pages and wondering exactly what is happening to the story's hero. I will try to entice you to read this one without giving too much away.
This is a bit of a time traveler tale with a twist. Jason Dessen leaves his wife and teenage boy one night for a quick drink with a friend at a bar. The next time he sees his wife, she will not recognize him and, in fact, there are no traces that he was ever a part of her life. Jason, and the reader, are left with a mystery that is not easily solved.
Sharing the beauty of this plot without killing the twists is a precarious tightrope walk. Suffice to say Crouch infuses a science fiction element to this book that's a twist on a classic sci-fi plot device. The beauty of his style is he does it in an easy to understand manner and doesn't rely on extensive, wordy discussions on how or why this plot device works. Even a non-scientific minded man like myself can understand the explanation and appreciate its explanations simplicity.
I truly think this will be Crouch's introduction to the best-seller lists. This is a book begging to be made into a movie, and it appears it has been optioned by Sony Pictures prior to its publication. Grab a copy of this before all the twists and turns have been ruined by the masses that are sure to be picking this one up.

Protection 1, the largest full-service business and home security company in the U.S., will host an advanced educational session entitled "Applied Threat Assessment and Protective Intelligence". The presenter will be Protection 1 National Account Manager Andy Patrick.
Andy Patrick's experience as a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, former New York State Trooper and former Special Agent of the US. Secret Service makes him uniquely qualified to lead the discussion. Patrick supervised and directed the planning and implementation of security arrangements for the president, vice president, and foreign heads of state.
"His years of experience and trusted insight help our customers identify the challenges they may face and find solutions to problems they may not even be aware of facing," Bob Dale, Senior Vice President, said.
The session will focus on prevention of attacks such as school shootings, workplace attacks, assassinations and stalking rather than solving a crime after it has already occurred. Threat assessment investigations and protective intelligence investigations differ from criminal investigations because their focus is on identifying the risk and preventing harm in a proactive way.
Protection 1 is the largest full service business and home security company in the U.S., it provides installation, maintenance and monitoring of single-family home security systems, business security systems and multifamily security systems. When you call Protection 1 you talk to a real person and not an automated phone attendant. Over 2 million customers are serviced by Protection 1 along with their over 3,500 employees.

German coalition talks will rob UK of precious Brexit negotiating time
🔊 Podcast: Brexit negotiations continue in the shadow of May's Florence speech
Listen in as MLex's Managing Editor in Brussels James Panichi is joined by Senior Political Correspondent Simon Taylor and UK-EU Correspondent Matthew Holehouse for a lively discussion covering the Brexit negotiations in the aftermath of Theresa May's Florence speech.
25 September 2017. By Simon Taylor.
The biggest impact on the Brexit process of the German election will be on timing rather than substance as coalition talks push other business down the agenda.
Sunday's election saw Angela Merkel's CDU-CSU alliance emerge as the party with the largest share of the votes, almost certainly securing her a fourth term as chancellor. But she lost votes to smaller parties and must now start negotiations on a coalition agreement with the Free Democrats (FDP) and the Greens.
Those parties share Merkel's Brexit policy: the UK should not be allowed to cherry pick the benefits of membership while refusing to accept the free movement of workers. The parties agree that the Brexit talks should deal with the UK's financial obligations, citizens' rights and the issue of inner Irish borders before moving onto a trade deal.
The Social Democrats (SPD), Merkel's former coalition partner, will stay out of the coalition to prevent the right-wing Alternative for Germany from becoming the main opposition force. The Social Democrats also share Merkel's outlook on Brexit. Therefore, with all coalition members and the leading opposition party aligned, Germany's Brexit policy is unlikely to soften.
But the time needed to agree a coalition could affect Berlin's ability to make controversial decisions on the terms of the UK's withdrawal.
In 2013, talks between the CDU-CSU and the SPD took two months. Reaching agreement with the pro-business FDP and the Greens — who want government action to speed up a move to electric vehicles and away from fossil-fuel powered ones —will probably take longer.
Despite the difficulties, the parties should reach agreement by the end of the year and a new government should be in place in January.
Ticking clock
The only controversial Brexit question that Berlin will have to decide in the coming months is whether sufficient progress has been made in the first phase of negotiations — on money, citizens' rights and Ireland — to warrant the start of talks on a trade deal.
Originally, the UK was hoping for a positive decision to start trade talks at a summit of EU leaders taking place on Oct. 19-20. But with negotiations deadlocked over money until last week, there is little chance that the UK will get a green light next month.
On Friday, Prime Minister Theresa May sent a message to her EU partners that the UK would settle its bill for EU programs for 2019 and 2020 even though the UK is leaving the bloc in March 2019. EU leaders have welcomed the apparent softening of her position, but are now asking the UK for more clarity about how much it is prepared to pay.
A decision on the trade talks is therefore more likely to come before EU leaders in December. Provided coalition talks are going well by then, Merkel is likely to feel confident to express an opinion, although she might ask to postpone a decision by a few weeks if the coalition needs more time.
Whether Merkel gives her view in December or January, the time for the UK to reach agreement with the EU on withdrawal terms and transitional arrangements is very tight.
The UK will leave the EU at the end of March 2019 and before it does that, the terms of the deal have to be approved by the UK parliament and the European Parliament, a process that could take several months.
David Davis, Brexit secretary, said in a recent speech in Washington that the German elections would help "accelerate" the Brexit talks. But it is more likely that German parties' strong unity on EU issues and the desire to defend the integrity of the bloc's single market means that, on substance, nothing gets any easier. Waiting for a new government will mean even less time remains on the Brexit clock.

Subsequent changes cost time and money. Increasingly refined prototypes can give you feedback on structure, navigation, usability and aesthetics, either before or in parallel with development. To achieve a uniform user interface we can create style guides.
In paper prototyping we create design solutions on paper. On one hand this supports quick and favorable development and allows comparison and evaluation of alternative solutions. On the other hand they can give you an immediate impression of the final application and can capture user feedback at an early stage.
Storyboarding is the process of creating a sequence of images that depicts users' interaction with your application, which may be supplemented with written notes. This method is particularly well suited for presenting concepts that are difficult to communicate verbally.
Wireframes and mockups are prototype images of the user interface that show the arrangement of elements on the various screens of interactive software applications. Interaction options and navigation structures in the final application can be quickly understood when these take the form of clickable prototypes. Such prototypes are comparatively cheap to build and can be adjusted quickly based on user feedback.
Interactive prototypes allow operations to be rendered dynamically so that animations and other transitions can be tested. They are more complex than simple paper prototypes but offer a greater level of reality. We can create interactive prototypes to allow you to better understand your users' experience.
Style guides document existing interface designs. They provide information about the layout, colors, fonts and interaction steps of an application. A good style guide can reduce development time significantly.
As an innovative IT service company with years of experience in software engineering, as well as offering our expertise in usability engineering, we can implement your solutions holistically. Based on our results from applying usability methods we can develop tailor-made enterprise applications, embedded systems and mobile applications for you.

Lotus Sametime users with different 'home' servers cannot see each other online
If Lotus Sametime users on different "home" servers cannot see each other online, you may need to change your Sametime server awareness by creating Sametime connection documents in both directions. In this Ask the Expert Q&A, SearchDomino.com Sametime administration expert Mathew Newman explains how.
To ensure that your servers are aware of one another, create Sametime connection documents in both directions (i.e. Server A -> Server B and Server B -> Server A) using the Domino administrator client.
To check whether your Lotus Sametime servers can see other members of the community:
- Open a Web browser, go to the Sametime Web Administration Utility (http://yourserver/stcentre.nsf and choose the "Administer the server" link).
- Expand the "Configuration" heading and then choose the "Connectivity" option.
- When the "Configuration - Connectivity" page opens, click the "servers in the Community" tab.
- If you see both Server A and Server B under the "Meeting Servers that are connected" section, your servers should be able to communicate with one another.
To create the Lotus Sametime connections:
- Start your Domino administrator client.
- Go to the Configurations Tab.
- Expand the server's Twistie and choose Connections.
- On the Action Bar, choose "Add Connection," make the connection type "SameTime," complete the Source (Server A) and Destination (Server B) server fields, and add an optional network address for the destination server.
- Now add another connection document going in the other direction.

Winter driving is dangerous to begin with. But as individual motorists we also have to share the roads and highways with heavy tractor-trailer combinations driven by what we hopefully assume are "professional" drivers. Unfortunately, sometimes these drivers aren't nearly as "professional" as they would have us or even their own trucking companies believe.
On December 17, 2008, two Russian immigrant professional drivers operating a FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. semi-tractor trailer combination lost control of the rig west of Missoula, Montana, and jackknifed the combination. They hit a a volunteer firefighter's emergency truck which was parked on the shoulder of the interstate. The firefighter had parked the truck there with its emergency lights on to protect and warn oncoming motorists of an earlier accident ahead. The impact trapped the firefighter in his truck. He died at the scene of injuries suffered in the collision.
The FedEx driver, Sergey Buslayev, was a Russian national who didn't read English and could barely speak it. Buslayev admitted he saw the firefighters and emergency vehicles ahead from nearly a mile away. But Buslayev said he wasn't driving very fast and that the firefighter's truck was partially on the interstate traffic lane.
We sued on behalf of the firefighter's estate and heirs. Aggressive pretrial investigation and discovery revealed that Buslayev was driving the FedEx rig between 62 and 73 mph on snowpack and icy conditions. The maximum speed for trucks on I-90 at that location was 65 mph. Pretrial investigation and expert witness discovery proved that the firefighter's truck was completely on the shoulder and not in either of the traffic lanes.
Investigation and discovery revealed the FedEx driver had several previous driving infractions, including driving while intoxicated (DWI), careless driving in a commercial motor vehicle, failure to yield to emergency vehicle while operating a commercial motor vehicle, and speeding in a commercial motor vehicle.
Investigation and discovery revealed multiple violations by FedEx, Buslayev, and the other Russian driver of Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations including both drivers' inability to speak and write English (we had to take their depositions with the aid of Russian/English translators), numerous log book violations, and inadequate truck and trailer inspections.
On behalf of the estate and heirs we reached a confidential out of court settlement with the defendants shortly before trial. David Paoli of our firm then volunteered to help with the State of Montana's criminal prosecution of Buslayev.
