Federal authorities brought securities fraud charges against a man they allege made more than $82,000 in a six-week scheme that used compromised trading accounts to drive up the price of thinly-traded stocks.
Aleksey Kamardin, a 21-year-old with an address in Tampa, Fla., bought the shares using an E*Trade account and then caused hi-jacked client accounts with online brokerages to buy large blocks of the same stock, according to a complaint filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. With the share price inflated as a result of the activity, Kamardin then sold the holdings in his E*Trade account, enabling him to realizes a handsome profit.
Such pump and dump schemes have been proliferating in recent years, usually through the use of viruses targeting the computers of online stock traders. Once a trader's machine has been owned, the criminal uses the account to manipulate the price of penny stocks.
Kamardin's spree ran from July 13 to Aug. 25 and affected 17 different stocks, including those of Gales Industries (ticker: GLDS), Fuego Entertainment (FUGO), and Butler National (BUKS). In the case of Gales, Kamardin purchased 55,000 shares on the morning of Aug. 25 for 50 cents to 55 cents, caused a compromised account maintained by TD Ameritrade to buy 245,000 shares, and then dumped his initial investment at 66 cents a share, yielding more than $7,000 in profit.
Not bad work if you can get it, we'd be tempted to say, except that this type of scheme is preposterously easy for the Feds to track. Gales's trading volume on the day in question was 533,400, compared with a 15-day average of 20,756. Kamardin's trades, which accounted for some 20 per cent of that activity, must have stuck out like a sore toe.
Which is perhaps why the boy genius, over two days in late August, had to wire his ill-gotten gains to a domestic bank account, transfer them into a second account maintained by a Russian-born roommate, relay them into an account located in Latvia and escape to Russia.
Still, when you live in a country where the per capita gross domestic product is one-fourth of that in the US, $82,000 will buy you plenty of Piroshkis - even if you have to look over your shoulder while chewing. ®

Seagate has released what it said is the industry's fastest hard drive with up to a 6TB capacity, matching one released by WD last year. WD's 6TB Ultrastar He6 was hermetically sealed with helium inside, something the company said was critical to reducing friction for additional platters, while also increasing power savings and reliability. Seagate, however, said it doesn't yet need to rely on Helium to achieve the 50% increase in capacity over its last 4TB drive. The company used the same perpendicular magnetic recording technology that it has on previous models, but it was able to increase areal density from 831 bits per square inch to 1,000. The new drive also comes in 2TB, 4TB and 5TB capacities and with either 12Gbps SAS or 6Gbps SATA connectivity. The six-platter, enterprise-class drive is rated to sustain about 550TB of writes per year 10X that of a typical desktop drive."

With the recent additions to Columbus' transportation options, we wanted to find out which is the best bet. So Columbus Monthly staffers Anthony Dominic, Michelle Sullivan and Emily Thompson each took a different ride from German Village to Grandview at the same time on a Friday night in May. Here are the results from our experiment.
With the recent additions to Columbus' transportation options, we wanted to find out which is the best bet. So Columbus Monthly staffers Anthony Dominic, Michelle Sullivan and Emily Thompson each took a different ride from German Village to Grandview at the same time on a Friday night in May. Here are the results from our experiment.
Accessibility: The newest of Columbus' transportation services, Lyft is a service for the people, by the people. With a clean background check and driving record and a reliable, four-door car, 'most anyone can become a driver. Download the app, register, request a ride and you'll soon be on your way. Bonus: Your first 10 rides are free (up to $25 each), but you have only 15 days to use the credits.
Wait Time: Immediately after requesting our ride, the app alerted us our driver was on his way. He arrived in five minutes in a Kia.
Travel Time: Our driver got turned around and took a few minutes to get going up Fourth Street, but it didn't set us too far back-we arrived in Grandview 20 minutes later.
Professionalism: When your driver's on his or her way, a message will pop up on the app saying, "Think of your driver as a friend, and hop in the front seat!" It feels a bit strange at first, but our driver was quick to start a conversation and offer us mints, Life Savers and a bottle of water-definitely nice touches.
Price: $12 before tip. After rating your driver (they rate you, too), be sure to change the total amount to include your tip before submitting. It's easy to miss, so if you do, just email Lyft from the address on your account and let them know how much you want to add to your charge.
Uber Black
Accessibility: Download the free app, plug in your basic info (including an email address and a credit card or PayPal number) and you'll be looking at your current location via Google Maps. You can then view pickup time and fare estimates and, after requesting a car, your driver's customer rating and his or her photo.
Wait Time: The estimated wait time was nine minutes, and our driver arrived in exactly nine minutes.
Travel Time: One of the first questions our driver asked was if we had a preferred route to our destination. We agreed on taking U.S. Route 70 to 315 to Grandview.The trip was 15 minutes.
Professionalism: Our driver opened our doors when picking us up and dropping us off. The car, a Lexus, looked like it had just been driven off the dealership lot. The leather seats were comfortable, and the ride was smooth. There were chilled water bottles in the rear center console, and our driver made lively conversation.
Price: $24 with automatic tip included. When you reach your destination, your driver rates you (so behave!), and then you receive a notification via the Uber app to rate your driver. Your receipt arrives minutes later in an email. (Pro tip: Make sure your designated bank account isn't empty, because Uber withdraws your fare immediately.)
Accessibility: The closer you are to the city's center, the easier it is to find a cab quickly. You can call to request a pickup or hail one from the sidewalk. Around bar close, though, they're hard to come by no matter where you are.
Wait Time: The wait time was seven minutes. Around five minutes after the order was placed, we received a phone call with a recorded message from the president of Yellow Cab thanking us for our business and informing us our driver had been dispatched. It was a nice touch.
Travel Time: About 15 minutes. He took a direct route (Livingston to Grant to Fourth to Spring to Grandview).
Professionalism: The taxi was as clean as you'd expect a taxi to be. It smelled fresh. The driver was courteous. He didn't strike up conversation but responded when we did. He rolled up the windows when asked.
Price: About $20 with tip. Cabs accept cash and almost all accept credit cards, too.

Article content
Last fall, Montreal Canadiens forward Lars Eller damaged a lot of Edmonton's pride by calling the Oilers "a junior team."
After seeing how younger brother Mads and his Oil Kings mates performed at the Memorial Cup, those words now ring loud as rather high praise.
"I had to hear about (his brother's comment) for a little bit, but yeah, you could look at it as compliment," Mads Eller said with a wide grin after Edmonton's shocking 6-3 victory over the OHL powerhouse Guelph in the 96th Cup final before a pro-Storm crowd of 8,863 Sunday night at Budweiser Gardens.
"It's been an amazing season for us,'' he said.
Tournament scoring leader Henrik Samuelsson, grasping late Latvian ex-teammate Kristians Pelss's No. 26 sweater in the post-game celebration, scored twice in the final, including a third-period back-breaker to restore an insurmountable two-goal lead.
"We've been shocking people all year," said Samuelsson, the 20-year-old son of ex-NHLer Ulf. "We weren't supposed to get past Portland (in the Western league final). We weren't supposed to make it far (in London).
"But we know how to win tight games and that's exactly why we're here today."
The Oil Kings played with heavy hearts and dedicated their campaign to Pelss, the 20-year-old Oilers prospect who drowned last summer in his native land. His countryman, Edgars Kulda, was named tournament MVP.
"It's a long season and we had a guardian angel," said veteran forward Mitch Moroz, who scored the game winner. "He (Pelss) helped us get here."
Edmonton won its seven-year-old franchise's first Canadian Hockey League crown and the city's first since a previous incarnation with the same name did it in 1966. They achieved it by holding the CHL's highest-scoring team to a Cup-low three goals.
That was after Oil Kings captain Griffin Reinhart and Co. kept Val d'Or goal machine and major junior player of the year, Anthony Mantha, goal-less for nearly 184 minutes in back-to-back games.
"Everyone in the locker room believed we could beat these guys," Mads Eller said. "Playing defence, that's been our game the whole season. We've been stopping high-octane offences with a lot of speed all year and we approached Guelph a little bit like Portand.
"We just shut 'em down."
Guelph, who sliced through the round-robin portion with three straight lopsided wins, scored a razzle-dazzle goal in the opening minute. They led after the first period.
But the Oil Kings dominated the second with three straight goals – all high shots on goaltender Justin Nichols.
The Storm, who opened the Cup with a 5-2 win over Edmonton, never recovered.
"They outwilled us," Guelph head coach Scott Walker said. "I don't think we played our best but I'm not going to take away from (Edmonton).
"They were the better team."
Edmonton's win capped a sensational run of three consecutive 50-win seasons, three straight trips to the league final (all against Portland), two Cup appearances and one Memorial Cup crown. They're the first WHL team to win it all since the Spokane Chiefs broke the trophy down the road at Kitchener in 2008.
The Oil Kings played the final less than 48 hours after beating the Val d'Or Foreurs in the longest game in Cup history, a triple-overtime semifinal thriller won on a tip-in by Curtis Lazar. Guelph, who took the immediate path to the championship tilt, had three days off to prepare.
"It's the Memorial Cup final – not a chance you're not going to have energy for that," Samuelsson said. "We dug deep and grinded this one out.
"We have a long summer to rest now."
The Storm failed to win its city's first title since Jacques Martin's old Platers in 1986. The enduring image will be mid-season star acquisition and ex-Windsor captain Kerby Rychel, struggling to contain his emotions on the losing bench late in the third.
"In this tournament, one game can crush a team," Storm forward Brock McGinn said. "We had a great year and it was one game. Unfortunately, we didn't come out winners."
They were beaten by a heck of a junior team who played like pros.
- - -
The Edmonton Oil Kings played all year for the memory of Latvian friend Kristians Pelss. In a perfect bit of symmetry, his countryman Edgars Kulda earned Memorial Cup MVP. "We were always talking about him (Pelss)," said Kulda, the 19-year-old from Riga who scored four goals and seven points, three of those in the 6-3 championship victory. "It was hard last summer (after the news of the 20-year-old Pelss' drowning). It was awful. We were playing for him, he was watching us and I'm sure he's happy."

Who Is the Best Father on TV?Christine Orlando at .
These days, fictional fathers run the gamut from the traditional to the unorthodox. Whether they are married or single, an ex-con or a fairy tale prince, all of the following characters make our list for this year's Best TV Dad.
But only YOU can decide who actually goes home with that title. In honor of Father's Day, run down the contenders and then vote for you favorite below...
Adam Braverman, Parenthood - Adam's a stand up guy and a great dad. From organizing family outings to dealing with son Max's Asperger's syndrome, or somehow finding the money to send Haddie to the college of her dreams, Adam's earned his spot at the top of the list.
Prince Charming, Once Upon a Time - What other dad had to do battle with an evil queen's minions in order to save his infant daughter by sending her off in a magical tree trunk to places unknown? He's also a prince who knows how to use a sword. How many dads can say that?
Phil Dunphy, Modern Family - Whether it's goofing off with son Luke, taking middle daughter Alex on an impromptu road trip just to bond or stumbling through the news that oldest daughter Haley is no longer a virgin, Phil Dunphy never disappoints as a dad.
Mitchell and Cameron, Modern Family - Why have one dad when you can have two? Mitch keeps things stable while Cam makes sure their daughter will forever be surrounded by clowns and balloons and fun. Either way, Lily is one lucky girl.
Frank Reagan, Blue Bloods - Frank perfects the role of family patriarch. He's strong but loving. Best friend and confidant to daughter Erin. Sounding board and example for sons Danny and Jamie. And who else could keep these wonderfully rowdy Reagans in line for their traditional Sunday family dinners?
Rick Castle, Castle - Castle is definitely unconventional but this single dad must be doing something right. Despite Alexis acting more like the adult in this relationship, Castle's sense of fun coupled with his overprotective nature has given his beloved daughter a safe place to always be a kid while giving her the confidence to become a stunning young woman.
Henry Spencer, Psych - Henry's dream may have been to have a son who became a cop but his unorthodox ways still shaped son Shawn's career. Being a police psychic may not be exactly what Henry had hoped for but it's certainly given this father / son duo a different way to bond. Now we just hope Henry survives to continue the fun.
Max Keenan, Bones - Okay, so Max kind of forfeited his father of the year card when he abandoned his kids as teens to go on the run. But we'll give him points for trying to make up for it, especially this season. Max not only stepped up for granddaddy day care with granddaughter Christine, he made sure daughter Temperance had an escape when a serial killer framed her for murder. It's certainly not traditional, but it's definitely love.
Burt Hummel, Glee- Most people would have pegged Burt for being a man who wouldn't take his son's homosexuality well. How delightful to find this dad being his son's biggest supporter.
George Altman, Suburgatory - George uprooted his entire life in the hopes of giving his daughter a better one. Even if the suburbs isn't quite what they expected, that still earns George points as a good dad in our book.
Jack Carter, Eureka - When Jack stumbled into Eureka with his rebellious teen, staying was the last thing on his mind. Now, not only is he Sheriff, he's a devoted dad and surrogate dad to Allison's two kids. You've got to give points to a dad with love to share.
Did we leave anyone out? Let us know in the Comments and vote now between the options given:
C. Orlando is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.

- will the right amount of cash be available at the right point in time?
- will the shares be sold at a fair price and to the correct parties?
- will the funds paid for the shares be held/available to the spouse/beneficiary in an appropriate tax-efficient structure?
A properly structured share purchase arrangement caters for all of these issues.
Using this flowchart to establish your needs:
Step 1 - enter the value and percentage of the individual's shareholding 1a followed by the other shareholders' percentages 1b. Total shareholdings must not exceed 100%, but may be less if not all shareholders participate.
Step 2 - the sum assured should equal the value placed in Step 1a. The policy should be placed in a business trust, with the individual's fellow shareholders as beneficiaries; their individual entitlement is calculated as follows:
Beneficiary's current shareholder percentage
100 - Percentage in Step 1 a)
The double option agreement* ensures that the sale and purchase will proceed at the agreed price between the right parties.
Step 3 - List fellow shareholders and the percentage they will receive of the Sum Assured in Step 2, using the formula above. The total shareholdings must equal 100%.
Step 4 - The shareholder establishes a discretionary trust in their Will* which, upon death, will receive the shares. Assuming Business Property Relief applies this should be an exempt transfer for Inheritance Tax purposes. At the point the life policy is established under the business trust a double option agreement will be put in place to ensure that the deceased's trustees will sell the shares to the surviving shareholders and receive the funds provided by the life policy. These funds will be held by the trustees of the discretionary trust.
Step 5 - The beneficiaries of the deceased shareholder will have access to the funds in the discretionary trust without the funds being within their estate. This provides protection against future Inheritance Tax liabilities, together with general asset protection. Further Inheritance Tax benefits can accrue by the beneficiaries being provided with access to funds via loans, which will be further debts on their estates for Inheritance Tax purposes.
The end result of this will be that the remaining shareholders and family of the deceased shareholder each end up with what they want, namely the shares and cash respectively, all in a highly tax-efficient manner.

Investigation Discovery's ON THE CASE WITH PAULA ZAHN Launches Its Third Season Of Riveting, Untold Stories
- As One of Investigation Discovery's Highest-Rated Series, ON THE CASE WITH PAULA ZAHN Receives Early Greenlight for Fourth Season To Launch in 1st Quarter 2011 -
SILVER SPRING, Md., Oct. 28 -- ON THE CASE WITH PAULA ZAHN returns this November for its third season on Investigation Discovery, America's leading investigation network and the fastest growing network in ad-supported cable.* Profiling fascinating true stories and featuring gripping interviews conducted by Emmy Award-winning journalist Paula Zahn, ON THE CASE is a shining example of ID's core brand mission to investigate life's mysteries through riveting storytelling. In the third season of ON THE CASE, Zahn traveled the country to secure first-time, exclusive interviews including sitting down with Anne Stout, who talked with Zahn from prison after being convicted for killing her husband; Sam Christie, who fingered his own father as a potential serial killer; and Laurie Bembenek and Dominick Gugliatto, whose run from the law became the famed "Run, Bambi, Run" phenomenon. Zahn executive produces the series with Scott Sternberg, CEO of Scott Sternberg Productions, and Scott Weinberger, CEO of Weinberger Media. ON THE CASE WITH PAULA ZAHN returns with a 13-episode third season on Sundays at 10 PM ET starting November 7 and has received an early order for a fourth season starting in 1st Quarter 2011.
"ON THE CASE WITH PAULA ZAHN has been a critical foundation for the unprecedented growth and success of ID," said Henry Schleiff, president and general manager of Investigation Discovery. "As the network's exclusive original long-form journalism series, ON THE CASE epitomizes the network's commitment to compelling and emotional storytelling that inspires ID's audience to look closer at the world around them. Therefore, with great pride, I am also thrilled to announce a fourth season of ON THE CASE, which will launch early in 2011."

The first nine episodes of ON THE CASE this season include:
Sunday, Nov 7 at 10 PM ET
Keith Gentry is shot in his living room while his family is upstairs. Investigators find guns scattered all over the lawn but there is no assailant in sight. However, the Texas Rangers get a huge break when they set up an on-camera sting that ultimately leads to a conviction of a former beauty queen.
Sunday, Nov 14 at 10 PM ET
Over the span of a few months, Eric Plunkett and Benjamin Varner were both mysteriously murdered in their dorm rooms at Gallaudet University, plunging this prestigious school for the deaf and hard of hearing into a state of terror. This episode features never-before-seen interrogation footage of the man who eventually confessed to both murders. Additionally, Zahn interviews the original suspect, who shares his story for the first time after living under suspicion for months before having his name cleared.
Sunday, Nov 28 at 10 PM ET
Bill Stout is found shot to death in his bedroom and police suspect the author of a threatening series of emails. The trail leads them to a jilted lover but computer experts uncover inconsistencies on the source of the threats. Zahn travels inside a Montana prison as the convicted killer opens up for the first time about the events leading to Stout's death.
Sunday, Dec 5, 10 PM ET
A blossoming love is cut short when Karen Gregory is found brutally murdered in her boyfriend's home.

Zahn interviews the man responsible for the murder from a Florida prison, as well as Gregory's boyfriend, who has not spoken about his loss in over twenty years.
RUN BAMBI RUN (wt)
Premiere Date TBD
A sultry waitress, Laurie Bembenek, gets fingered for brutally murdering her husband's ex-wife. After her brazen prison escape turns the convicted killer into a national celebrity, questions about the case against her come to light. Zahn interviews Dominick Gugliatto, who reveals new details about their life on the run after he helped Bembenek escape. Zahn also speaks to Bembenek, who since being set free on time served has been crusading to clear her name. Bembenek shares the results of ballistics and DNA testing that add credibility to her claims of innocence.
When a beautiful college freshman at Western Kentucky University, Katie Autry, is viciously assaulted in her dorm room, police quickly zero in on a suspect. However, when he points the finger at someone else, the search for the truth threatens to tear a small town apart. Zahn interviews both suspects about the web of stories involving Autry's death that resulted in one serving a life sentence while the other walked free but carries the burden of having been tried for murder.
Amy Jones asks her husband, Christopher Rezos, for a divorce but he makes a very different plan for how to end their marriage. After several attempts to kill Jones, police finally get Rezos behind bars. This case resulted in "Amy's Law," which requires judges to use a risk-assessment checklist before letting a domestic abuser out on bond. Jones shares her terrifying story with Zahn.
A mysterious call from Sam Christie about a decades-old murder baffles police. But after they dig deeper into his claims, they uncover a potential serial killer and a son's terrible secret about his father. Christie tells his story for the first time in a riveting and emotional interview with Paula Zahn.
After the wife of a local policeman is gunned down in broad daylight, investigators uncover a murderous plot stemming from a torrid affair, and fear one of their own may be involved. Zahn dives into this convoluted web of truth and lies before sitting down with the women responsible for the murder.

The latest report by IMARC Group, titled "UHT Milk Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2017-2022", finds that the global UHT milk market reached a value of US$ 140 Billion in 2016, growing at a CAGR of more than 7% during 2009-2016. UHT refers to Ultra High Temperature pasteurisation which is used to treat fluid milk so as to remove the germs and bacteria present in it while preserving the essential nutrients and vitamins. UHT milk is then packed in aseptic containers which help to prevent the further growth of any harmful microorganisms. These UHT milk packs have a high shelf life and can last for several months at room temperature. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach a value of more than US$ 200 Billion by 2022.
Request sample of the report: http://www.imarcgroup.com/files/images/uht-milk-market.png
Highlights of the global UHT milk market:
- Ease of use and transportation remain the major growth inducing factors.
- The European Union represents the largest consumer, accounting for the majority of the total market share.
- Asia, and Middle East and Africa are the fastest growing markets.
The growth of the global UHT milk market can be attributed to a number of factors. As UHT milk does not require any cold chain facilities, it can be easily transported to remote regions where milk is scarce. Likewise, UHT milk does not need to be refrigerated and can be consumed directly from the carton without boiling. This makes UHT milk a suitable option for consumers with a busy lifestyle as well in households without refrigerators. Moreover, by reducing the need for refrigeration in supermarkets and convenience stores, UHT milk can also help in curbing global warming. Some of the other factors which are facilitating the growth of the market include rising health consciousness, changing dietary habits, rising population and increasing disposable incomes.

Lameness caused by foot problems is common in the horse, and it can significantly impact how well a horse can perform. Hoof bruising, heel soreness, hoof cracks all create discomfort that alter a horse's gait and prevent him from giving his utmost to an athletic task. Nearly all equine foot diseases have their root in biomechanics, noted a University of Georgia veterinarian at a recent in-depth podiatry seminar, and veterinarians and farriers must take a biomechanical approach to treating these problems.
Andrew Parks, MA, VetMB, MRCVS, Dipl. ACVS, professor of Large Animal Medicine at the University of Georgia's School of Veterinary Medicine reviewed important elements of equine foot anatomy during the session, which was held during the 2012 American Association of Equine Practitioners' Convention, held Dec. 1-5 in Anaheim, Calif.
Parks started with a bit of biomechanical anatomy review: While the long bones of the skeletal system, such as the radius (forearm) or the cannon bone, effectively transmit force from one end to the other, the distal phalanx (coffin bone, a short bone) , acts as a shock absorber, transferring weight-bearing forces from the hoof to the skeletal system. This bone is also well-adapted for attachment to soft tissues (tendons and ligaments) that aid or resist movement. "The principle forces acting on the foot are the weight of the horse, the ground reaction force (GRF), and the tension in the deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT, which runs from the underside of the coffin bone to the flexor muscles higher in the leg)," he explained.
The GRF matches the weight the limb bears, but it is exerted in the opposite direction. When a horse's foot stands on a flat, firm surface, the GRF distributes around the perimeter of the hoof capsule. But when standing on a conformable surface such as sand, the GRF distributes broadly across the bottom of the horse's foot. In both cases GRF pressure is greatest approximately in the center of the foot, just in front of the coffin joint.
The hoof is unique in that it is comprised of many different types of integument that continually grow, yet it functions as an extension of the musculoskeletal system. Parks said the hoof wall responds differently to forces depending on the rate at which they're applied. "For example," he says, "a force applied rapidly and immediately removed, such as the foot landing on the ground at speed, causes elastic change of foot shape that then immediately returns to its prior shape. In contrast, a prolonged and slow force applied to the foot deforms the tissue but when this force is removed, it takes much longer to return to its normal shape."
When Biomechanics Go Wrong
Prolonged abnormal loading or force on the foot, as occurs with improper hoof growth, trimming or shoeing, has consequences–it might deform the hoof wall, causing flaring and the coronary band to move proximally (upward). Hoof growth slows as the body attempts to restore the hoof to a normal shape, resulting in growth ring spacing irregularities.
Parks commented, "The coffin bone is suspended in the hoof by the lamellae on three sides with the deep digital flexor tendon taking up tension on the fourth side. Interestingly, if the horse is lacking a functional hoof wall, he can't walk because of painful pressure between the sole and coffin bone. However, if lacking a functional sole, he walks tolerably well if sensitive tissues are protected from pressure because the lamellae and DDFT support the coffin bone off the ground."
Biomechanics and Treatment
As the horse begins each stride, associated shock waves can cause foot injuries. "Normally," Parks reports, "There is natural damping of concussion by many structures such as the inner lamellae of the hoof wall, the digital cushion, collateral cartilages, the vascular plexus, and thick articular cartilage." Applying a plain steel shoe to the hoof increases frequency of impact vibrations and maximum acceleration of the foot. In addition, he said, a steel shoe increases pressure on the navicular bone (which acts as a fulcrum around which the DDFT passes, restricts hoof expansion, and causes the heels to wear more rapidly than the toes.
To reduce impact shock waves, Parks recommended that veterinarians and farriers, "change the concussion of impact via a plastic shoe or a viscoelastic pad." He suggested other biomechanical modifications for improving foot function: Use a pad to distribute the force evenly, move the GRF's center of pressure, and move the point of breakover back. In the latter case, rolling the toe shortens the moment arm around which the coffin joint rotates and eases breakover.
In all cases, Parks urged, "A proper diagnosis of abnormal forces on the foot must be achieved in order to apply appropriate therapeutic shoeing strategies. This doesn't mean that horses shouldn't be shod, just that clinicians should be aware that adverse effects occur (with certain shoeing practices) and there may be a need to mitigate these effects."

Toshiba has announced a new 64GB flash memory module, which the company claims is the highest-capacity flash module in the industry. The new 64GB NAND flash module is just 30 micrometers thin, packs a dedicated controller, and contains sixteen 32Gbit chips. It was manufactured using Toshiba's 32-nanometer process.
The memory modules are geared toward use in various portable devices and once the new modules arrive in early 2010, it probably won't be long before we see a range of new pocket-sized gadgets using the higher 64GB capacity, including 64GB iPhone and 128GB iPod Touch.
Toshiba is currently Apple's flash supplier for the iPhone 3GS, according to iSuppli. Recent rumours have hinted that the fourth-generation iPhone will arrive next summer, and although neither Apple or Toshiba has commented, it seems only logical that the next iPhone will be packing 64GB of flash memory.
64 GB is enough storage for 1,000 hours of music, 8 hours of HD video and 19 hours of SD video--a nice upgrade from the current 16GB and 32GB iPhone capacities.
Toshiba's 64GB memory module will have a sample shipment later this month, with it entering mass production in the first quarter of 2010.

The year in recall elections
Recall election maven Joshua Spivak reviews the plentiful activity in 2012 and finds that the attempted Wisconsin recall of GOP Gov. Scott Walker was just the tip of the iceberg — there were at least 168 recall elections in 93 different jurisdictions.
(Also on POLITICO: Photos of the year)
From his piece in The Week:
In 2011, 151 officials nationwide faced recalls. This year, it's 168. Why the continued growth? One reason is obvious: Recalls increasingly get results. Of the 168 recalls in 2012, 108 officials lost their seats (82 were kicked out by voters and another 26 resigned before the recall).
Of course, more recalls were attempted than actually made the ballot. On at least 508 occasions, citizens took out recall petitions in 2012. Most failed. Recalls against the governors of Michigan, Arizona and Louisiana went nowhere, and the attempts to recall the mayors of Washington, Denver, Oakland and Nashville all failed to get on the ballot. What's the difference between success and failure? Often, money.
Spivak notes that elected officials, naturally, hate the recall and have proposed numerous laws to limit or prevent its use.
But there isn't widespread evidence of a voter backlash or fatigue against recall laws — despite signs of it from the exit polling in the Wisconsin governor's recall. In fact, Spivak reports that voters in four different states adopted a recall law in their cities or towns in November and expects its use "to continue to balloon in the future."

Presiding over a packed press conference in San Francisco, Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam promised that the company's 700MHz LTE service will be rolled out to 38 major metropolitan areas by the end of this year. On top of that, the carrier will provide 4G coverage to over 60 airports across the country, in both launch and non-launch regions.
The cities include Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Miami, New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Washington, DC. Airports will include the biggies like Chicago's O'Hare and Washington's Dulles, but also smaller venues like Bob Hope in Burbank, CA and Will Rogers in Oklahoma City.
"Our goal is that in about 18 months from today we'll have 200 million pops [points of presence] covered," McAdams said on Wednesday. That would serve about two thirds of the United States population. "And by the end of 2013, we'll have virtually the same coverage that we have on 3G today."
The plan is for the network to support 5-12Mbps on the download, and 2-5Mbps on the upload, Verizon CTO Anthony Malone told the audience. These new phones will move data via the carriers' new 4G LTE wireless system. Voice will still transmit over 3G.
But for pricing, it looks like consumers should expect some changes over the next few years.
"We think there's a place for unlimited plans," McAdam noted, "but we think that over time, because we have finite resources, our customers are going to have to shift to a pay-as-you-use" mode. "I would say that clearly over time we will be migrating to a bucket-of-megabytes" approach.
Just one of those things
The inevitable question about whether Verizon will network the iPhone popped up. "This is one of those things that rolls out every few weeks," McAdam responded, "whether or not there is a basis for it or not."
The announcement was made at CTIA - The Wireless Association's Mobile Business and Enterprise Applications convention in San Francisco, which we're attending.
Reporters pressed McAdam on the devices that Verizon will initially roll out for this service. "I think the first kind of devices out of the box will be the USB Aircard kind of devices," he explained. But, "you will see tablets, you will see smartphones, and you will see machine-to-machine devices" released in the first half of next year.
Speaking earlier at the convention's morning keynote assembly, McAdam promised a new approach to collaboration with developers.
"Just as LTE is the technology platform for the future, I think collaboration and openness will be the operating platform for the future if we're to bring the full promise of what 4G LTE brings. That's really the new paradigm, the new model for operating in the entire wireless industry.
"Now I know that some of you in the audience are saying, 'C'mon Lowell, you guys are the poster child for walled garden.' What I'd say is that for the first 25 years that garden approach of closed systems served the industry pretty well. But in a 4G I think we need to turn that garden model inside out."

Life is as much defined by loss as it is by growth and experience. We lose relationships, our youth, our hair, and, if we get old enough, our memories which are the very nature of our existence begin to fade. Learning to deal with these losses is a defining element of the life experience, and the most successful lives are charted by facing these troubles and persevering. But there are the losses that we can move past: losing a girlfriend, the death of an elderly parent, getting fired from a job; and then there are the losses that create black holes at the center of our very being. The emptiness consumes our entirety and we are broken possibly for the rest of our lives. No film has explored that type of loss with such raw precision as 1993's Blue from Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski as part of his French "Three Colors" trilogy.
There are few fears more intense than the death of a child. Even for the childless, the safety and well-being of children is paramount, and when children die of cancer or in school shootings or at the hands of a serial predator, it sparks our deepest existential fears. If children, particularly those too young to yet be corrupted by the world, can suffer the pains and cruelties of this world, then the idea of a benign and caring creator seems laughably unlikely. And if you lose both your child and your husband at once, what reason could you have for continuing in a world intent on taking those things which matter above all else? By the end of Blue, it's impossible to avoid that question ever again.

Clemens impressing Astros in long-relief role
DETROIT -- Paul Clemens had spent the majority of his Minor League career preparing to be a starting pitcher in the big leagues. However, it's in the bullpen that the right-hander is beginning to make a name for himself.
Clemens entered a 7-2 game against Detroit on Monday night in the sixth inning and proceeded to fire three hitless innings, issuing only one walk while striking out Torii Hunter, Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder in order.
"Clemens did a great job," manager Bo Porter said after the Astros' loss. "He did a great job attacking the strike zone and he had some really good put-away pitches against a great lineup."
The 25-year-old got Hunter and Cabrera swinging at 78-mph curveballs before forcing a third straight whiff from Fielder on a 94-mph heater to lead off the eighth inning. What made it more impressive was that Clemens came in without a chance to warm up, as starter Bud Norris exited with lower back spasms prior to the sixth.
"I just wanted to pick [Bud] up and get my job done," Clemens said. "Doesn't matter when they bring you in, gotta get your job done. No excuses."
Aside from yielding five runs in six innings during his Major League debut in Seattle -- which came on April 8 after Josh Fields went down with an injury -- Clemens has consistently gotten the job done. He's been one of the team's best arms, posting a 2.86 ERA in 10 appearances and 22 innings since that first outing.
When the Astros acquired Clemens in 2011 from the Braves as part of a five-player deal for Michael Bourn, the hope was the right-hander would turn into this type of pitcher. The club understood he had the powerful stuff to be successful.
As far as Clemens' future role, the verdict is still out. He has primarily been used as a long reliever this season, but general manager Jeff Luhnow said earlier this season no decision has been definitively made.
In Clemens' 129 appearances in the Minors, 82 of them came in a starting role, and he hadn't entered a game in relief since 2010.

At the first mayoral forum on March 27, candidate Mark Andrew criticized current city leadership for not having a "articulated, cogent, rational, comprehensive strategy" to recapture Minneapolis jobs.
To illustrate his point, Andrew threw out a bold statistic.
"In Minneapolis today, we have 28,000 fewer jobs than we had in 2001."
Andrew's statement is based on outdated numbers from 2010.
According to numbers from Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, Minneapolis is down only 6,574 jobs between 2001 and September 2012, the most recent data available for jobs in the city.
In 2001, the city was home to 305,880 jobs. In September 2012 that number was 299,306 (See tables below).
Andrew's campaign got his numbers from a 2011 Metropolitan Council study of job losses in the Twin Cities region. The Met Council uses the same DEED numbers, but the numbers from the Met Council study come from 2010, when the 2008 financial collapse was just a couple years old.
The numbers used by Andrew don't factor in the past two years of economic growth. Minneapolis has gained 18,169 jobs since the Met Council study was published.
Andrew's campaign manager Joe Ellickson said Andrew should have clarified the time period he was referencing.
"When Mark started looking at the Met Council's job numbers last year, he was absolutely appalled by them," Ellickson said. "We are absolutely happy to hear that we have gained back a number of those jobs, but we still have over 6,000 less jobs today than in 2001 and that is too many jobs that we need to recover."
Andrew isn't the only one using the misleading numbers. Kendal Killian, who is running for City Council in Ward 10, cited the same Met Council study, but like Andrew, ignored the past two years of economic growth in Minneapolis.
Killian has, on several occasions, told a story about moving here as a young man and entering a city of economic opportunity.
"But today, unfortunately, those economic opportunities are not nearly as available as they once were. In fact, we have 27,000 less jobs in Minneapolis between 2000 and 2010," Killian said at a recent environmental forum.
Technically Killian is accurate because he is comparing 2000 to 2010 and job losses were close to the 27,000 during that time period. And, when you compare today's job numbers with the 2000 job numbers, the city is down closer to 15,000 jobs.
Killian said today he just looked at the Met Council study and didn't consider recent economic progress.. He said he wouldn't use the numbers again.
"I don't want to say stuff that is wrong," he said. "I will stop. I am actually shocked we have restored that many jobs in a short period of time. That's really good news. I am not tying to say anything inaccurate."
Ellickson said Andrew would be clear in the future about the time period he is referencing, but won't stop talking about jobs.
"We aren't going to apologize for bringing job numbers forward," he said. "It's important that we're talking about these jobs in our community."
