Posted: 09/25/2013
(WXYZ) - The Humane Society of Huron Valley says their animal cruelty and rescue team recovered 88 cats from a home in Ypsilanti Township on Tuesday.
The humane society says the cats were malnourished, flea-infested and living in "horrendous" conditions.
"We will definitely be working with the prosecutor to seek charges. This is probably the worst hoarding case we've seen in recent years. The house was beyond disgusting, with feces, flies and garbage everywhere. There were fragile little cats in every nook and cranny of the house. I literally pulled four cats out of the silverware drawer," said Matt Schaecher, Director of HSHV's Animal Cruelty and Rescue Department.
The group now needs loving families to care for the animals currently in their care to make room for the 88 to recover. From September 27 to September 29, all of adult cats over the age of 5 months old will be available for adoption.
HSHV says every cat ready for adoption has been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, tested for feline leukemia, given flea preventative and given a microchip I.D.
The humane society is open 7 days a week starting at 11 a.m.

Pittsburgh Wine Festival draws more than 2,000 guests
By Kate Benz
Published: Sunday, May 6, 2012, 3:44 p.m.
"If you love wine, it's the place to be," said Southern Wine & Spirits of Pennsylvania VP Mark Schaffer during the 10th annual Pittsburgh Wine Festival on Thursday. "It's an opportunity to bring people in and taste wine that they ordinarily wouldn't be able to taste."
And bring them in, they did. Two thousand guests, including prez Ed Harrell, GM Dale Markham, PLCB chairman Joseph Brion, Helen Wylie, Adam Bell and Jenna Cain, Chris Plance and Anna Burie and Ziggy Murin were among those enjoying the sold-out VIP reception, while a massive line of eager aficionados formed outside the entrance to the East Club Lounge of Heinz Field half an hour before the general admission gates were open.
Meanwhile, hundreds of wineries were pouring themselves into the good graces of those in attendance that were quick to establish alliances with their bottle of choice.
"I'm a white," confessed Dr. Nancy Davidson with her husband, Tom Kensler, while others were swooning over the Dreyfus Ashby Bordeaux (yours for $899 a pop). "It's unbelievable!" said Gino Chiodo.
Over the past decade, the event has raised more than $7.5 million for discovery and innovation at UPMC.

By the end of 2012, Vale will suspend operations at the Frood portion of Stobie Mine.
Angie Robson, a spokesperson for Vale, said no workers will be laid off.
The 85 people employed at the mine will be deployed to other areas of operation.
Robson said the decision is based on declining metal prices and falling demand for Vale's products.
"We've been mining at Frood for more than 100 years, it's largely a remnant area, the grades are very low and it just doesn't make any economic sense," Robson said.
Robson said metal prices have dropped 50 per cent since Vale took over Inco.
All collective agreements between employees and Vale will be honoured with this decision.
Sudbury Mayor Marianne Matichuk said the decision is unfortunate, but adds it's reassuring the company has committed to relocating the employees.

Astronomy Photographer of the Year, Royal Observatory - exhibition review
Epic constructions offering windows on the solar system are thrillingly projected in the Planetarium. The overall winner, Australia's Mark Gee, presents Guiding Lights to the Stars as a cinematic panorama of a New Zealand seashore lit by the night sky
Related Articles
Published: 24 September 2013
Suggesting firework displays and abstract paintings, these dramatic and majestic images are photographs of stars, planets and galaxies ranging from the Milky Way and muted rings of Saturn to meteor showers and windows on the solar system.
Click here to view the gallery of photos from the Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2013 exhibition
The seven finalists in the competition are thrillingly projected in the Planetarium and hung on a wall and all 24 short-listed winners, from more than 1,000 contestants, are presented in light-boxes incongruously small for such epic subjects.
The overall winner, Australia's Mark Gee, presents Guiding Lights to the Stars as a cinematic panorama of a New Zealand seashore lit by the night sky. Digitally stitched together in panels, the contents include a tiny moon, smudgy Magellanic clouds hovering over the Milky Way and a glowing lighthouse, coalesced in the broad story. Ben Canales's similarly epic construction, Hi. Hello, is in contrast, an empty snowscape where a monk stares at the sky's chimney of "smoke" holding millions of stars.
Many images have a painting feel: Frank Broms's Green Energy is a swirling dayglo vortex of an Aurora Borealis; László Francsics's The Trapezium Cluster and surrounding Nebulae, involves dust clouds reflecting the colours of exploding gases and resembling Turner's skies in their rich blue and fuschia tones. The exhibition's invitation to "Become an Astro Photographer" and use a robotic telescope to photograph a chosen image, includes receiving it by email; irresistible.

In our ever increasingly fast paced lives, switching off and relaxing once in while is not such a bad thing. And switching off, we don't just mean getting away on an adventure holiday once a year. Turning off your tablets and i phones and actually sitting down and chatting to people about all the common interests you might have is something that many folks LOVE on our Zambezi rafting holidays. You may not find out that the person sitting next to you in the raft is a professional gambler only working 6 weeks a year, or a cancer survivor, or a 74 year old grandmother from their Facebook profiles, but you may just discover it over a cold beer or glass of wine around the open fire on the banks of the Zambezi. So how long can you be without for…. your mobile device that is! 2 hours, 2 days, 7 days? You would be surprised. Even many of the business people that travel with us, love the fact they aren't contactable. There is something very special about going back to basic life sometimes. A game on the beach, sleeping under the stars, great food, stunning sundowner spots and a … Continue reading
Astronomy On The Zambezi River
There are very few places in the world that you'll get a clearer sky than on the Zambezi River. Well away from any cities and bright lights, the Batoka Gorge below Victoria Falls offers a stunning opportunity for start gazing. We are extremely fortunate to Have Dr Don Kurtz join us for 4 days and 3 nights on the Zambezi river on our 13th September 2014 Zambezi Blast or Ultimate Adventure trip. Don Kurtz was born in San Diego, California, to an American father and Canadian mother. As a student he explored the Sierra Nevada and the US Southwest deserts extensively. He obtained his PhD in astronomy from the University of Texas at Austin in 1976, then spent 25 years in South Africa at the University of Cape Town, where he was Professor and Life Fellow. He and his South African wife, June, return to Southern Africa each year for family and friends and for their love of the bush: for walking, camping, game reserves; for nature and bird watching. Don is now a British citizen and has been Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Central Lancashire since 2001. He is a councillor of the Royal Astronomical Society and … Continue reading
Celebrate In Style On The Zambezi River
We frequently have guests who decide to join a trip based on a birthday celebration or even occasionally we have people celebrating anniversaries. We were fortunate enough to have 2 wonderful couples join us recently on the Zambezi for the same reason, their honeymoons. Both couples added to their experiences by going on safari to Chobe National Park to the gorgeous Elephant Valley Lodge, and taking a trip out to the Devils Pool, on Livingstone Island, for some utterly memorable photos! Although both couples joined the same trip celebrating the same occasion, Anique and Tom were from the Netherlands in their late 20′s whilst Pat and Steven from the UK were in their 70′s and celebrating their FIRST rafting trip. When I met Pat and Stephen at a Travel Expo, Pat asked " What is the best river to raft?" May answer naturally was the Zambezi. "Could I do it she enquired?" Of course was my response. Not only did they conquer 4 days of the wildest rapids on the Mighty Zambezi (without flipping or swimming) they flew back to their hotel by helicopter and took in as many extra activities as they could. We helped both couples celebrate with … Continue reading
Ten Great Attributes Of A Zambezi Multi-Day Trip
A Zambezi whitewater rafting trip, need not last just the traditional, one day. Adventures further down river reward rafters with stunning views, remote campsites, more challenging white water than the day trip, plus the chance, depending on which trip you choose to see wildlife at close range. On a 7 day trip to Matetsi river mouth, frequently our rafting guests get to see crocodiles and hippopotamus amongst the braided sections. Then prepare yourself for the thrill of a lifetime, getting a flight back to Livingstone, via the magnificent Victoria Falls. You get to start your trip below one of the Seven Natural Wonders Of The World. You don't have to walk out of the Batoka Gorge You get to camp on amazing HUGE sandy beaches Trips are run in the "dry" season. You won't get rain (in general!) but you will get VERY wet in the amazing rapids You can choose to go on safari to Chobe National Park, where you can get to see some of the best wildlife is Southern Africa. You can get to choose to do some incredible adventures in and around Livingstone, such as walking with Cheetahs, lions or doing an elephant walk. You get … Continue reading
A Must Do On The Zambezi River – Devils Pool On Livingstone Island
On our Zambezi white water rafting trips, many guests ask us what activities are simply a "must do". Before of after your rafting on the Zambezi river, a trip to Livingstone Island should be a priority. The place where Dr David Livingstone set eyes on Victoria Falls or Mosi Oa Tunya as they are known in the local Bemba dialect has long been a draw for travelers for it's un-rivalled views of the falls. Many people including the owner of Water By Nature, Hamish got married on the island. In the low water season however (from approximately August – November) visitors can bring swimwear and swim on the edge of the falls guarded by a rock lip and your guides, in what is, the worlds MOST IMPRESSIVE infinity pool! We recommend an afternoon excursion to Livingstone Island and all of our guests receive a complimentary transfer to and from The Royal Landing at The Royal Livingstone Hotel where the trip departs from. No matter whether you are flying in from the United States, the UK or Europe, this is one trip, not to be missed.
The REAL Zambezi Legends
So many stories come out about the Zambezi River, the flips, the swims, the campsites the helicopter flight back to town, but there are some hidden gems in this place that make the trip unique and above all, possible. Mukuma and our team of legendary porters carry all our equipment into and out of the river before and after your trip. The rafts are rolled into a "sausage" and the lads run the 750 feet into the gorge as if it were flat. Once the rafts, lunch, stern frames and safety equipment are in, the crew dash back to our vehicles and are transported to Rapid number 10 (our first overnight camp at Songwe Point) and carry in all the camping equipment for our expedition. Many people have trouble walking this steep trail with wooden steps down to the river as we saw with some of the Comic Relief participants, but Mukuma and his team do an average of 6 trips each to get all the gear into the camp by the time the guests have finished rafting their first day. If guests are doing one of our 4 day river trips, the Zambezi Blast and Ultimate Adventure, the porters … Continue reading
Comic Relief Zambezi Hell And High Water Challenge
It was so great to see one of our favourite rivers in the world featured as part of Comic Relief's Red Nose Day Challenge on BBC1 on 14th March. An amazing effort on the part of the celebrities to raise in excess of £1,100,000. The Zambezi Challenge saw celebrities Jack Dee, Dara O'Briain, Chelsee Healey, Radio 1 DJ Greg James, Spice Girl Melanie C and Olympian Phillips Idowu paddle more than 100km down the Mighty Zambezi River. Given the time of year chosen to run the challenge, the participants paddled mainly above Victoria Falls as at that time of year the rapids from Number 1-10 are considered too dangerous. The optimum time to raft the Zambezi River is from August until November in the "dry season" when the river is low, the weather hot and the gorge is not as green as we saw it on Comic Relief. Water By Nature have been offering charity events on the Zambezi for more than 15 years, working with Guide Dogs, Breast Cancer, Lupus to name just a few. If you'd like to fundraise for your preferred charity the longest serving Charity Event Organiser on the Zambezi, Global Adventure Challenge can assist you … Continue reading
Dr David Livingstone's Bicentenary 2013
Agreed by many as one of the most influential explorers of the Victorian era, Dr David Livingstone holds a special place in the history of Africa and in particular his memorable words when he first laid eyes on what he named Victoria Falls (Mosi Oa Tunya in the local Bemba language) "A sight so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight." March 19th 2013 is the Bicentenary of Dr David Livingstone's birth in Blantyre and what an opportunity to explore one of the rivers at the forefront of his travels as the Mighty Zambezi. Livingstone was the first European Explorer to travel across trans continental Africa from Luanda to Mozambique. He was a light traveller and this gave him extra kudos with local Chiefs, as well as his reassurances that he was not a threat. The British backed his second expedition to the Zambezi, however he was unable to safely navigate the Cabora Bassa rapids in Mozambique, which he had not seen on his first trip to the region. Despite being viewed as a "failure" by many back in the UK, the trip was a very worthwhile project for the scientists working with Livingstone to collect … Continue reading
Ten Great Adventures After Your Zambezi Rafting Holiday
If you have chosen to raft the Zambezi River for your next adventure holiday, you have made a wonderful choice. What we'd like to share with you now are some of the amazing adventures you can take part in either before or after your rafting trip. It can sometimes offer a reduction in the cost of your flight if you fly out a day or two earlier to Livingstone in Zambia from either the UK or the United States. We'd like to point out some wonderful adventures you can take part in: 1. The "Devils Pool" on Livingstone Island: One of the best and most iconic activities on offer. Swim in the world's most impressive "infinity pool" right on the edge of Victoria Falls. This activity is only open during low water (August – November) and includes a visit to Livingstone Island. 2. Cheetah Encounter: Many guests have rated this as one of the highlights of their trip. You'll be collected from you hotel and be taken to the Cheetah centre where they work with this endangered species. Take one for a walk! 3. Lion Encounter: Walk in the bush with African Lions. No leashes or restraints and no enclosures. … Continue reading
The Zambezi Legend Of Nyaminyami
With the BT Comic Relief #HellAndHighWater #Zambezi Challenge underway today, we hope all the celebrities are wearing their Nyami Nyami pendants for good luck. The Zambezi river god has long been talked about by the locals and the many thousands of people who have safely navigated the Zambezi River. The Tonga people believe that Nyami Nyami is responsible for bringing water to their crops and fish for them to eat. Legend has it that Nyami Nyami (literally meaning Meat Meat) would show himself during the dry season and allow meat to be cut from his body during times of need. During construction of the Kariba Dam in Zimbabwe, thousands of Tonga people had to be relocated. The tribes people were not happy about this and the elders called upon their great spirit for help. In 1957 and 1958 the Zambezi River received the worst floods in the last 100 years, believed to be the work of Nyami Nyami. They were so severe that the spill gates had to be increased from 4 to 6. Nyami Nyami became trapped above the dam wall and his wife below. The locals believe his anger is causing havoc to this day. Believing in the … Continue reading

Reports » Singapore
Singapore stock market and companies daily report (Koh Brothers Group, Albedo, SingTel) (October 09, 2013)
Koh Brothers Sets Up First Precast Plant In Iskandar
Koh Brothers Group announced that its wholly-owned building materials unit, G&W Group has kick-started operations at its first precast plant in Senai, within Iskandar, Malaysia. The unit invested $13 million for 47,000 square metres (sqm) of freehold land for the precast plant, which is expected to boost G&W Group's precast plants to 96,000 sqm in land size, and total precast concrete capacity to approximately 150,000 cubic metres per annum. The plant, equipped with six production lines served by 12 gantry cranes, will manufacture a full range of precast components for residential and industrial buildings and infrastructural use. Furthermore, its strategic location which is close the company's headquarters in Singapore, ensures highly efficient supply-chain management as well as greater cost efficiencies.
Significance: The establishment of Koh Brothers' new plant is timely, in view of Singapore's government's intention to ramp up housing supply as well as to ride on the development of Iskandar Malaysia, where demand for high quality precast components is also growing.
Infinite Rewards Stresses Commitment To Albedo's RTO
Infinite Rewards, which controls Reflections Oasis, the company that Albedo is trying to acquire in a reverse takeover (RTO) deal to transform itself into a property play, emphasised its commitment on seeing this deal go through. Albedo is trying to buy Reflections Oasis, which holds seven land parcels in Gelang Patah in Johor, for $774 million, via the issuance of 34.6 billion shares. Many well-known names have been roped in for the RTO as a signal of intent. PrimePartners Corporate Finance, Morgan Stanley Asia (Singapore), Deloitte & Touche and Lee & Lee are among those that have been or will be appointed. Executive director for corporate finance of Infinite Rewards, Leong Choon Meng, mentioned that if Infinite Rewards is not serious about it, this kind of money will not be spent.
Significance: The entire development of all seven parcels will take up to 15 years, which stems the significance of the commitment between both parties. If all goes well, the first parcel will get its development order in January, and the RTO is expected to complete in March after a shareholders' meeting.
SingTel's Optus Inks A$60m Deal With Virgin Australia
SingTel's Optus Business has inked a new A$60 million agreement with airline Virgin Australia to deliver domestic and international telecommunication services over five years. The services will be delivered over Optus' managed data network which has the resilience and scalability required to meet Virgin Australia's critical quality assurance standards. The appointment by Virgin Australia was after fulfilling the evaluation of a wide range of criteria including partnering approach and regional delivery capability. Just last month, Optus also signed a deal of A$530 million with the Australian and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ), which will see Optus providing the banking group with telecommunications and managed services for another five years.
Significance: This win, coupled with the win from ANZ last month is further proof of Optus' recent restructure to bring together all its people, assets and capabilities into one organisation. The consolidated effects of these contract wins could very well be seen to have some positive impact on SingTel's consolidated books upon realisation.

Samsung refreshes iPhone-challenging Galaxy line
Published: March 15, 2013
Tags: Apple, Galaxy S III phone, Galaxy S IV phone, Galaxy smartphones, iPhone, sales, Samsung
The Camera application can now use both the front and rear cameras simultaneously, inserting a small picture of the user even as he's capturing the scene in front of him.
When several S 4s are in close proximity, they can link up to play the same music, simultaneously — perfect for headphone dance parties.
The Galaxy 4 S also will include a tool that enables users to create a dividing line so part of the phone is devoted exclusively to work while the other part is filled with personal information and photos. The feature is similar to a function on the latest BlackBerry — an indication that Samsung is going after other smartphone makers besides Apple with its latest model.
The new features illustrate Samsung's drive to make its phones stand out from the crowd of Android smartphones. Jan Dawson, an analyst with Ovum, said they could be seen as "gimmicks rather than game changers."
"At this point, Samsung appears to be trying to kill the competition with sheer volume of new features — there should be something here for everyone, even if most of these new features won't be used by most users," he said.
While the event in New York was going on, Samsung Electronics Co. kicked off its annual meeting in Seoul. CEO, Kwon Oh-Hyun, told the audience that he expects slow growth in the global consumer electronics market, except in smartphones, where sales are still zooming.

Imagine if you will, a bunch of drunken adults, using the birthday of a three year old as yet another excuse to get hammered. Suddenly a fight breaks out and the participants begin stabbing each other with beer bottles while 30 kids watch.
First of all, why are kids awake at 1 a.m.? Second, since when is a three year old kids birthday party attended by a bunch of adults where alcohol is being served? You just gotta love illegal immigration.
A large, beer-soaked melee broke out at a toddler's birthday party early Tuesday in this small Hamilton County suburb, hospitalizing two men and prompting police from several agencies to respond.
"It was an unbelievable scene, the amount of blood and broken glass," said Elmwood Place Police Chief William Peskin.
About 30 children witnessed the 1 a.m. brawl among 75 people at Elmwood Eagles Hall, 5633 Vine St.
None of the youngsters were injured, Peskin said.
The father of the 3-year-old birthday girl – Ramon Marcelo-Hernandez, 26, of Norwood – was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct while intoxicated.
Punches and beer bottles were thrown after a dispute that began earlier Monday among two men – a woman's boyfriend and her ex-husband – came to a head at the birthday party for a 3-year-old.
When police arrived, some 150 people were still gathered and about half of them were participating in the melee, Peskin said.
Countless beer bottles were hurled, including ones that cut a man's eye and injured a second victim's head, neck and chest, he said.
More than 20 police officers from jurisdictions such as Cincinnati and St. Bernard swarmed the scene to restore order.
Police notified Hamilton County Job and Family Services, which is now investigating, Peskin said.
A total of 15 people were injured, including five who went to University Hospital, Peskin said. Four people were treated for cuts that required stitches and then released. One man underwent eye surgery from a stab wound from a broken beer bottle, the chief said. Doctors are doing tests to check for possible brain damage.
An investigation continues. More arrests are expected.
"The whole party was Hispanic, so we're having language barriers and they are being very uncooperative," Peskin said.
A police officer who speaks Spanish was summoned from Wyoming to assist.
Elmwood Eagles, a fraternal organization, rented the hall out for the party, Peskin said. Their members were not involved in the brawl.

Before you read on, I first want to remark that I fully realize that what I'm about to say next could be considered a total cliché. But damn it — there really is something to be said about washing down conch fritters with cold Kaliks while watching a Bahamian sun fall after a day of bonefishing. By and large, fly-fishermen take pleasures in simple things. We are drawn to tradition, and with any lasting tradition a foundation based on authenticity can be found. Each island in the Bahamian chain has its own unique charm, but that classic island vibe that we've all come to love has become harder to come by. For those who do want to cap off an outstanding fishing day with a French-inspired hors d'oeuvre platter and an aged merlot, the good news is that the Bahamas have plenty of great options. But even better — for those of us who crave that old-school ambience, the small island of Water Cay located off the east side of Grand Bahama's horn offers that and much more.
The topic of Bahamian authenticity came up in a conversation with Angling Destinations' Scott Heywood. Though Heywood's job entails selling customers on particular destinations, I could tell by the way he spoke about Water Cay that this was no sales pitch. He genuinely felt that the fishery is strong, the guides exceptional, and the spot — a true Bahamian experience. Heywood went on to say that he and other Angling Destinations personnel had explored these waters and found great success in years past. The problem had always been that, despite not being far from the mainland's coast, it was relatively hard to reach. For a time, the Water Cay Bonefish Lodge was open for business, but eventually it failed. The hurricane season of 2004 pounded the lodge and left it crippled and empty of staff, and therefore guests. However, after three years of sweat equity, the lodge opened for business once again, and Sidney Thomas became the head guide and had the early task of bringing on two more hardworking bonefish experts.
Keeping it in the family, Sidney hired his brother Ezra. Born on Abaco, both Thomas boys entered the world with an innate sense of fishing. Together, they opted to call on another Abaconian, their friend Greg Rolle, who shared this trait, to round out the guide staff of the new and improved Water Cay Bonefish Lodge.
Bahamian Bushwhacking
A few weeks later, I found myself awaiting my bags in the Freeport airport. In between numbing stares at the slow-moving luggage belt, I scanned the room for a person who fit the guide profile. When I looked outside, I noticed a tall, stoutly built Bahamian fellow peering in through the glass as though he was looking for someone. The scruffy-faced man wore a sweat- and salt-stained, tan beanie that lazily sagged from the weight of the hair tendrils stuffed inside. He was, in my book, textbook Bahamian. I crossed my fingers in hope he was my ride. Finally, my rod tube came down the belt. Grabbing it must have given away who I was because the man who was curiously looking inside moments ago was now standing in front of me with an outreached hand and presenting himself as Ezra Thomas. I followed him outside, where he introduced me to Doug Jeffries and Mike Kotrick. In lieu of staying at Water Cay Lodge, Angling Destinations arranged for the three of us to use a catamaran live-aboard as a bonefishing base camp for the next week. This would enable us to be close to the fishing and also allow for mobility depending on the tides. By the time how-do-you-do's and where-are-you-from's were complete, Ezra had already veered the van off the paved highway, and we were bouncing down dirt roads leading us farther into the Bahamian bush.
Deep in the woods, Ezra stopped the van at an inconspicuous ramp where his brother Sidney waited to taxi us to our floating home. When we arrived on the boat, our bags had been stowed in private cabins and flip-flops retired below deck. While rigging rods and tying leaders that evening, Doug, who had fished with the Water Cay boys on numerous occasions, described the guides we'd be fishing with for the next few days. His description matched Scott Heywood's to a tee. Extremely hardworking, driven to catch fish and, most importantly, unbelievable teachers were terms he unknowingly repeated over and over.
Morning finally arrived, and right as we were finishing up breakfast, Sidney and Ezra began pulling their skiffs away from the guide quarters, a lobster boat anchored a few hundred yards away that would be left in Greg's hands for the day. Doug and I piled in with Ezra, and Mike went solo with Sidney. It was a short run to the first flat, and moments later the only sound in the air was the soft entry of Ezra's push pole into the shallow water.

Eh, if you take law classes it kind of makes sense. There's a whole mess surrounding the mens rea and drugs.
Honestly, I can't find the case and I haven't seen it in 3 or 4 years, so chances are looking slim for me finding it.

Diane Lane on 'Superman' Secrecy: 'I Had to Read the Script Under Lock and Key' (Video)
The actress is set to play Clark Kent's adoptive mother opposite Henry Cavill in Zack Snyder's movie.
Diane Lane, who is set to play Clark Kent's adoptive mother in the upcoming Superman: Man of Steel, addressed the huge amount of secrecy surrounding the script.
"I'm not allowed to talk about it. It's top secret," she said Wednesday on NBC's The Tonight Show With Jay Leno of her role as Martha Kent.
In fact, Lane was essentially sequestered when she first read the script.
"Of course, there is a lot of secrecy these days, with the Internet and everything, and rumors get started, so I had to read the script under lock and key in a room. You go to the offices, and it's a locked door and the curtains are drawn, and so, that was the time I had."
Lane also expressed amazement that she is part of a potentially blockbuster film.
"I'm going to be in one of those huge movies," she said. "I can't wait to see it already. I'm kind of amazed.
Henry Cavill also stars as the title character, with Kevin Costner as his adoptive father, Jonathan Kent.

InterlockedIncrement (Compact 2013)
This function increments the value of the specified 32-bit variable and checks the resulting value. InterlockedIncrement prevents more than one thread from using the InterlockedDecrement function or InterlockedIncrement function to access the same variable simultaneously.
The functions InterlockedIncrement, InterlockedCompareExchange, InterlockedDecrement, InterlockedExchange, and InterlockedExchangeAdd provide a simple mechanism for synchronizing access to a variable that is shared by multiple threads. The threads of different processes can use this mechanism if the variable is in shared memory.
The variable pointed to by the lpAddend parameter must be aligned on a 32-bit boundary.

Should Legal Be on the 'Big Data' Management Team?
Every corporate department can bring a little something to the table when it comes to managing big data, including in-house.
Angela Hunt, Law Technology News
As we discover new innovative ways to use big data, business leaders are starting to ask themselves which c-suite executives and departments should be the host — and apparently in-house counsel don't even rank a seat at the table.
The responsibilities for analytics within companies are all over the map, according to a recent Deloitte survey. Of 75 companies, 23 percent tasked a business unit or division head with directing big-data initiatives, while 18 percent handed the job off to the chief financial officer and 15 percent to the chief information officer. Only 5 percent of companies listed another c-suite executive and none listed the legal department, indicating that in-house plays a small role in big data. A whopping 20 percent of companies didn't have a single executive in charge, demonstrating a leadership vacuum for big data analytics, according to Thomas Davenport for the Wall Street Journal.

What Role Should In-House Play in Framing Cybersecurity Strategies?
From the Experts
Alice Lin Geene, Corporate Counsel
While implementing the framework (NIST Cybersecurity Framework) will be voluntary, it will be beneficial for companies to adopt it. In-house counsel will be directly involved in formulating a process that establishes disclosure and compliance guidelines to follow in the event of a breach. Corporate counsel will be integral in designing strategies that address the five fundamental cybersecurity functions defined in the framework:
- Identifying threats: Developing an understanding of which business systems, assets, data and capabilities need to be protected.
- Protecting against threats: Devising safeguards to ensure delivery of essential infrastructure services.
- Detecting events: Applying actions to identify the occurrence of cybersecurity events.
- Responding to events: Implementing responses to detected cybersecurity events.
- Planning for recovery: Employing management processes to restore the capabilities that were impaired through cybersecurity breaches. (read the article)
What Is At the Heart of Security Concerns in the Cloud?
Security, compliance concerns at the heart of cloud solutions
Firewalls, security keys and compliance are essential components to any cloud solution
Rich Steeves, InsideCounsel
The cloud has proven to be a valuable tool for companies of all sizes in every industry. Cloud storage, communications and applications can save companies money, manpower and time and bring them to the cutting edge of modern technology. But putting data into the cloud does create concerns for businesses, mostly in the areas of security and compliance.
While security has come a long way, companies in certain highly regulated industries like healthcare and finance, must ensure that security standards are up-to-date and aligned with regulatory specifications as laid out by HIPAA, PCI/DSS, etc. Here are some security features to keep in mind when assessing a cloud provider: (read the article)
Do You Buy Legal Services Like GlaxoSmithKline?
How GlaxoSmithKline changed the way it buys legal services (video)
Lee Pacchia, ABA Journal
Silvia Hodges Silverstein, adjunct professor at Columbia Law School, and Heidi Gardner, assistant professor at Harvard Business School talk with Bloomberg Law's Lee Pacchia about how pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline introduced procurement practices into its retention of outside counsel.
Silverstein describes GlaxoSmithKline's sourcing room events, which firms are invited to after the RFP submissions. "The quality has been decided at that point in time, so it's not anymore that you choose between firms who are higher in quality and lower in quality. GlaxoSmithKline at that point in time sees that they're all pretty much at the same level, so then it really becomes a matter of price," she says. "And then when the sourcing event is over, then the procurement takes all this information back to the in-house counsel, they can look at all this information. And sourcing makes some suggestions, but it's actually the legal department, the in-house lawyers, who make the final decisions. So, procurement is really there to help them speed up the process and help them make it more efficient and more objective." (read the post, watch the video)

Plan to Outsource Commoditized Legal Work Like Microsoft?
Microsoft and Integreon Team Up for Legal Outsourcing
Rebekah Mintzer, Corporate Counsel
With law departments looking to increase efficiency (and save some cash), legal process outsourcing has become an appealing way to streamline commoditized legal work—54 percent of departments that responded to Corporate Counsel's "2013 Legal Process Outsourcing Survey" said they've tried LPO, and most said they were either "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with the services rendered.
One Fortune 500 company with some prior LPO experience—Microsoft Corporation—decided to take outsourcing a step further in 2009, by partnering with Integreon Managed Solutions Inc., a legal solutions and LPO provider, to improve its contract review process. What resulted was a reduction in legal review time from three days to less than one, a 98.4 percent quality rate, and a 2013 "Outstanding Legal Service Provider" award, given to Integreon by the International Association for Contract and Commercial Management (IACCM) for the ongoing project.

Chasing After Your Firms? Let's Talk About Outside Counsel Responsiveness.
Rebekah Mintzer, Corporate Counsel
Anastasia Danias, senior vice president and chief litigation officer for the National Football League, agreed that being responsive is important, as are pricing and outcome of outside legal work. Beyond that though, law departments want firms to remember that in-house counsel are concerned as much about business goals as they are about legal goals.
"We are each accountable to senior executives of a company," she said, adding that "real value" happens when outside firms reduce the burden on businesspeople, or give in-house lawyers the "tools that we need to make the case for whatever we're working on to our senior management."

Alleged schematic leaks show 2013 iPhone designs
By Phil Dzikiy
News Editor, iLoungeGoogle+
Published: Wednesday, June 19, 2013
News Categories: iPhone
Accessory makers are already making cases for Apple's new iPhones based on leaked "design plans believed to have originated at Apple," according to a new report. The schematics show an iPhone 5S that closely resembles the iPhone 5. The other phone, referred to in the report as "iPhone Light," shows the device as slightly wider, taller, and thicker, with rounded edges.
Both schematics are consistent with our initial January reports on the budget iPhone and iPhone 5S, the latter of which notably features a larger rear flash. The schematics offer no specific indications on rumors that the budget iPhone will feature a plastic shell or multiple colors. [via Apple Insider]

Elongated Duodenums & Neil Diamond...
Tuesday, 03 December 2013 06:10
Going Off Course - In the movie, "What About Bob?," the multiphobic Bob Wiley, hilariously portrayed by Bill Murray, was asked by Dr. Leo Marvin, portrayed by Richard Dreyfus, to discuss his (Wiley's) divorce, to which Murray's character replied, "There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who like Neil Diamond and those who don't."
When you think about it, few people are ambivalent about Neil Diamond. They either hate him, or, like Eden Prairie triathlete/mom/IT consultant, Marisa (pronounced "Mare-ree'-sah) Skees,love him more than life itself.
Why does Marisa adore Neil Diamond so dang much? Is it his music? Sure. Her favorite ND tune is "Cracklin' Rosie," which might be a drug metaphor, but we're not sure. She (Rosie) is a "store-bought" woman who makes "me sing like a guitar hummin,'" which suggests that she might be a prostitute. Once again, we're not sure....

Part of any well-rounded athletic training program includes realistic goal setting. Goal setting can be as simple as losing X amount of weight and 'getting into better shape,' or targeting a specific time or performance goal at a specific event. In the endurance athletic world the tendency is toward the latter although there is nothing wrong with the former.
As the season progresses, you should see measurable results via improved body...

The past weekend and Monday we visited Majuba Mountain in Natal to honour the proclamation our ancestors made after the Battle Of Majuba. This was 131 years ago. A beautiful cloud covered the peak of the mountain, which reminded me of the story of the Israelites in the desert where the Almighty led them by day with a cloud.
Johan Vercueil – Hierdie Gelofte
The Geloftevolk Koördineringskomitee held a gathering at Majuba on the 27th February 2012 in order to humble themselves before the Almighty as promised by their forefathers.
General Joubert, we saw some Englishmen on the mountain!
Are you sure? Was it not goats?
General, since when does goats wear red jackets?

Now this is how you throw a pizza party.
With thousands of government employees in furlough following the shutdown, Bryan Voltaggio is coming to the rescue: he's offering employees free pizza at his Washington, D.C. restaurant Range.
The Top Chef Masters star announced on Twitter he'll be giving away free "Government Cheese" pies (it's actually a margarita pizza) to anyone that shows up with a government ID. But there's one key catch: he's banned members of Congress from the promotion until "they get their s--- together."
Forgot to mention... members of congress not eligible until you get your shit together on the Govt. Cheese pizza give away @VOLT_RANGE
— BRYAN VOLTAGGIO (@BryanVoltaggio) October 2, 2013
No word if John Boehner showed up for some free grub...
Bryan Voltaggio, please don't take sides in this matter, serve no WH staff either, a pox on both their homes.
It is unprecedented, in the entirety of our history, that the House has decided to not fund the federal government as a way to overturn a piece of legislation that was drafted by Congress, signed by the President and found constitution by the Supreme Court. But, Bryan, please don't take sides.
The House believes they can get away with this, politically, because they assume that the American public isn't well enough educated to understand what they've done. And that our supposedly free press is too cowardly and/or lazy to explain it.

'American Idol' auditioneer Larry Platt sued over pants on the ground

"General" Larry Platt's attempt to record "Pants on the Ground" has resulted in the former
American Idol
auditioneer being hit with a lawsuit.
The 63-year-old veteran from Atlanta, GA has been sued by American King Music over an alleged music distribution agreement and expenses related to producing, writing and recording of the single, TMZ

While American King Music claims it funded the recording session with rapper/producer Mims for the official full-length version of the song, the lawsuit states in the suit that Platt and his representatives "failed to take care of Platt's obligations," according to TMZ.
Platt manager Pinky subsequently told TMZ that the "General" never made a contract with American King but that the company feels it is entitled to 50% of the profits from sale of "Pants on the Ground" on iTunes.
"This is a lawsuit for a non-agreement," Pinky told TMZ.

FOURTEEN teachers from north-east Coventry have gone back to school to learn how they can improve their teaching, using IT and the Internet.
And by going back to the classroom, they have understood the virtual learning process from a pupil's point of view.
The course is run by teacher and e-learning manager Peter Travis at Henley College Coventry, Henley Lane, Bell Green, and aims to give teachers more confidence in the use of e-learning tools and more scope when planning their courses.
He said: "It has gone really well."As long as you don't get bogged down with technology the teachers really enjoy it as they can see the immediate benefits for themselves and the students.
"It is creative and pleasurable and has a great practical use - enabling them to use their expertise to best effect."
The course is run at Henley College for the North East Federation which is made up of five Coventry schools including Foxford, Caludon Castle, Cardinal Wiseman, Lyng Hall, Woodway Park and Henley College.
The Federation is co-ordinated by Ian Green, whose post is funded by the Learning and Skills Council Coventry and Warwickshire.

Award-winning comedy "The Office" is hoping to get an extra-long episode for the series finale later this month, but Steve Carell's bumbling office manager Michael Scott won't be joining the farewell party, the producer of the TV comedy said on Wednesday.
Greg Daniels, executive producer of the U.S. mockumentary workplace comedy, said the May 16 finale will be patterned after the original British version, in which the characters reunited after becoming famous as reality TV stars.
"After attempting to beat that (British) ending in a number of different ways, we ended up doing something very similar," Daniels told reporters on a conference call, adding that he was hoping to stretch out the finale beyond its scheduled one-hour running time.
"We are trying to get more time and the network (NBC) is being very creative about scraping some more time without us having to start the finale at a weird time that will cause half the audience to miss the first 10 minutes.
"We are still hopeful of getting slightly more than one hour," he said.
The U.S. version of "The Office," which was originated by British comedian Ricky Gervais, is coming to an end after eight years. Since the departure of Carell in 2011, audiences have fallen from around 8 million at the show's height in 2007-8 to about 5 million this year.
"I think Steve felt, and I agree, that the 'Goodbye, Michael' episode was his goodbye and he didn't want to overshadow the ending that all the other characters deserved," said Daniel.
Recent episodes of the four-time Emmy Award winning comedy have seen friction in the rosy relationship of popular married couple Jim and Pam Halpert, played by John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer.
Daniels declined to give any spoilers but said suggested their future would be largely resolved before the finale.
"My hope is that people will treat the last several episodes as the finale and not force us to do everything in the last episode.

Op-Ed: Does staying off Facebook make you a suspicious person?
Leigh Goessl
Aug 13, 2012 in
By Leigh Goessl.
A psychologist in Germany has suggested people that do not have Facebook accounts are "suspicious" individuals. And the psychologist may not be alone in his thinking.
Reportedly, hiring organizations and even dating advice givers are claiming if a person does not have a Facebook account, this could be a red flag about the individual.
An article recently appeared in the German magazine site
Der Tagesspiegel
that described how the German psychologist noted accused theatre shooter James Holmes and Norwegian mass murder Anders Behring Breivik both did not have a Facebook account.
Since both men were largely invisible on the web, researchers suggest that abstinence online may indicate there is a problem.
"The Internet has become a natural part of life," says psychologist Christopher Moeller Hanover [translated from Google Translate].
Employer interest in Facebook accounts, or lack of
We already know that employers are very interested in the Facebook accounts of job applicants and employees. Over the past several months employers asking, and in some cases demanding, the passwords of applicants/employees has been a
controversial issue
. This hot issue even brought Facebook itself into the debate where the company
warned employers
about asking users for passwords.
Allegedly, not only do employers want to access Facebook accounts, but employers are reportedly suspicious of applicants that do not have a Facebook account as well.
"No Facebook profile, no job offer," said Der Tagesspiegel in its report.
Facebook and the dating scene
Forbes article
points to a piece on
which suggests potential red flags if an individual is dating, or considering dating, another person that doesn't have a Facebook page.
One theory is while some people use the network to create an identity, others may intentionally stay off the network with their real name so they can more easily hide their true selves when cheating on a significant other.
Does not having a Facebook account really make someone 'suspicious'?
Daily Mail
theorizes, "And this is what the argument boils down to: It's the suspicion that not being on Facebook, which has become so normal among young adults, is a sign that you're abnormal and dysfunctional, or even dangerous, ways."
The Internet has become a natural part of life, but isn't it a bit too far to say that staying off the social network makes one a
suspicious individual
, or worse, a mass murderer? After all, there are other reasons why people might opt to stay off certain technologies or networks.
Forbes also pointed out the addiction factor with technology, including Blackberries, smartphones and various social media platforms. Due to the interference in "real life", some people actually do decide to give up their smartphones, Facebook or other technology vice.
What do you think? Is abstaining from Facebook a sign an individual is "suspicious" or dysfunctional? Could not having a presence on the network truly cost an otherwise well-qualified person that coveted job?
Or could it simply be some people value their privacy? Or maybe they're just hanging out on LinkedIn, Google+ or some other network.
While Facebook is seemingly everywhere, isn't it actually possible not everything is rooted in or revolves around the network?

On a serious note. This is a huge issue coming our way like many other cities, communities and beaches. No different in a way than one is texting or on a cell phone and "by accident" a life is lost. Rather than lawsuits I feel we are better off dealing with the situation at hand by addressing this as a nation and not allowing lawyers anywhere near this situation. We need to fix this problem, not point blame at this stage. Way too many issues to discuss blame just yet. BP does not have evil people working for them . It was an accident. We should all work to make things better, not file lawsuits. It only makes it harder to deal with the problem on so many levels.

Housing permits up in March, Commerce Department says

- Email | Twitter
Permits for single-family houses and apartments rose in March and may be a harbinger of the housing market continuing to stabilize and recover. The U.S. Department of Commerce reported that permits were the highest in more than three years and that they are an indicator of future housing construction activity.
Permits increased by 4.5 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 747,000 in March, the highest level since September 2008. Builders broke ground at a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 654,000 homes, which is up 5.8 percent from February. Apartment construction declined nearly 20 percent.

Green isn't just cool for Hollywood, it's glamorous for high-end real estate. And one green-friendly real-estate development company is cozying up to celebrities, to launch its new environmentally-friendly apartment building -- right at the western entrance to Beverly Hills. I spoke with David Margulies, the CEO of New Pacific Realty, about being green in Beverly Hills, and the power of a celebrity endorsement.
And while everyone's been talking about Cartoon Network's marketing mayhem in Boston, another marketing crime is being prosecuted. Planting gadgets for marketing purposes can be dangerous. Last year Paramount put digital music players on LA Times news racks last April; they broke into the Mission Impossible theme song whenever the racks were opened.
Opening statements are scheduled in a trial over the failed film 'Sahara. In fact, the trial is over the fact that it's failed. Producer Philip Anschutz is suing author of the book Sahara, Clive Cussler, claiming that he wildly inflated the amount of his book sales, inducing Anschutz to make a deal he wouldn't have otherwise.
It's Feb. 1, and the February sweeps period has officially started. Fox always gets a boost this time of year from American Idol, but the network isn't sitting on its laurels. It's counting on one of its new shows to bolster the sweeps period -- a game show, "Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader?". I'm not kidding ...
Is there a hotter talent agency in Hollywood than CAA? Apparently not. It's was on fire - literally. The talent agency's new headquarters was evacuated, reportedly because of a kitchen fire. The biggest tragedy for the hundreds of agents and assistants who work in the building: The phones weren't working! Thank god for cell service. ... Gail Berman, recently departed as Paramount Pictures' President and former Yahoo! Media/entertainment chief Lloyd Braun are teaming up to launch BermanBraun.
The Sundance Film Festival awards have been handed out, the deals have been made. Going into the festival the films seemed much less commercial than in previous years. There was no obvious 'Little Miss Sunshine'. The subject matter seemed, in general, more controversial, but that didn't stop some heated deal making.
How about those guys at Stride Rite. Since the year kicked off the stock is up 13.4 percent. I have to admit, I always hate looking at companies like this. Why? Because I love a couple of their brands and a hate some others. So I never feel like I have a handle on where they're going. Here's why I love them ... Over the past couple years, inflatable people have taken the place of extras -- especially during sports movies. But there's a pretty big fight for a piece of the inflatable business taking place. Mark Woolpert, president of Crowd In A Box, has filed a lawsuit against Joe Biggins and his Inflatable Crowd Company.
Netflix, the online DVD rental service, posted fourth-quarter earnings of 21 cents a share, six cents above estimates.
As Oscar fever starts, statistics -- not bigotry -- snubbed "Dreamgirls"; and studios mine Oscar nomination gold by re-releasing smaller pictures.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released its Oscar nominations this morning, beginning a month-long period of speculation on who will win what. But today's nominations show evidence that there are already some big winners: low-budget movies from the specialty divisions of major studios.
"Dreamgirls," a musical drama inspired by Motown group the Supremes, scored a leading eight Oscar nominations, but was omitted from the coveted best picture and directing categories, organizers said.
Netflix will start showing movies and TV episodes over the Internet this week, providing its subscribers with more instant gratification as the DVD-by-mail service prepares for a looming technology shift threatening its survival.
The first award given out at the Golden Globes went to Jennifer Hudson, a reliable clue that she'll win the Oscar. Then there were all those awards for TV. I was rooting for Jeremy Piven, but the fact that Jeremy Irons won for his role in Elizabeth, is certainly a reminder that it's the Hollywood Foreign Press Association not Hollywood voting. Hollywood does love its entourage. Irons makes a good point about his TV role, there isn't as much a divide between the big and small screen anymore.
The dance flick "Stomp the Yard" was a step ahead of the competition at the box office, debuting as the No. 1 weekend movie with $22 million.
UPDATE: Gail Berman met with Fox Executives on Thursday – presumably about coming back to Fox in some capacity. Stayed tuned for more ...
