Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/7/2012 (1874 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WASHINGTON -- After pleading guilty to promoting two popular drugs for unapproved uses and to failing to disclose important safety information on a third drug, GlaxoSmithKline LLC will pay $3 billion in the largest health-care fraud settlement in U.S. history, the Justice Department said Monday.
Accompanying the criminal case was a civil settlement in which the government said the company's improper marketing included providing doctors with expensive resort vacations, European hunting trips, high-paid speaking tours and even tickets to a Madonna concert.
The $3-billion combined criminal-civil fine will be the largest penalty ever paid by a drug company, deputy attorney general James M. Cole said. The corporation also agreed to be monitored by government officials for five years to attempt to ensure the company's compliance, Cole said.
"Let me be clear, we will not tolerate health-care fraud," Cole told a news conference at the Justice Department. He would not say whether any company executives were under investigation. The company's guilty plea and sentence have to be approved by a federal court in Massachusetts.
"For far too long, we have heard that the pharmaceutical industry views these settlements merely as the cost of doing business," said acting assistant attorney general Stuart F. Delery. "That is why this administration is committed to using every available tool to defeat health-care fraud."
GlaxoSmithKline CEO Andrew Witty expressed regret and said they have learned "from the mistakes that were made."
"Today brings to resolution difficult, long-standing matters for GSK," he said in a statement. "Whilst these originate in a different era for the company, they cannot and will not be ignored."
Crimes and civil violations like those in the GlaxoSmithKline case have been widespread in the pharmaceutical industry and have produced a series of cases with hefty fines. One reason some have said the industry regards the fines as simply a cost of doing business is because aggressively promoting drugs to doctors for uses not officially approved -- including inducing other doctors to praise the drugs to colleagues at meetings -- has quickly turned numerous drugs from mediocre sellers into blockbusters, with $1 billion in annual sales.
In the last few years, the Justice Department has become much more aggressive in pursuing such fraud, often in whistleblower cases taken on by a handful of U.S. attorneys focused on such fraud. Among the most active are the U.S. attorneys in Boston, Philadelphia and San Francisco -- all in regions with numerous pharmaceutical and biotech company operations.
The prior record-setting case involved Pfizer Inc., the world's biggest drugmaker. Pfizer paid the government $2.3 billion in criminal and civil fines for improperly marketing 13 different drugs, including Viagra and cholesterol fighter Lipitor. Pfizer was accused of encouraging doctors to prescribe its drugs with free golf, massages and junkets to posh resorts.
It is illegal in the U.S. to promote uses for a drug that have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration -- a practice known as off-label marketing.
Prosecutors said GlaxoSmithKline illegally promoted the drug Paxil for treating depression in children from April 1998 to August 2003, even though the FDA never approved it for anyone under age 18. The corporation also promoted the drug Wellbutrin from January 1999 to December 2003 for weight loss, the treatment of sexual dysfunction, substance addictions and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, although it was only approved for treatment of major depressive disorder.
Justice Department officials also said between 2001 and 2007 GlaxoSmithKline failed to report to the FDA on safety data from certain post-marketing studies and from two studies of the cardiovascular safety of the diabetes drug Avandia. Since 2007, the FDA has added warnings to the Avandia label to alert doctors about potential increased risk of congestive heart failure and heart attack.
Of the penalties, $1 billion covers criminal fines and forfeitures and $2 billion is for civil settlements with the federal government and the state governments of Massachusetts and Colorado.

Josef Soellner and Werner Kruschitz are entrepreneurs who run established, multi-plant plastics recycling operations in Europe. Each started out on a small scale, and each developed a flexible combination of custom and toll recycling that generates a range of products including flake, pellets, and sheet of different resins. Along the way, both of them came up with their own process technology and built their own machines. And now both of them are offering their home-grown technology for sale to others.
Soellner is founder and sole owner of STF Group in Aicha vorm Wald, Germany. It comprises three companies and seven plants: STF Recycling GmbH, a recycler of PET and polyolefin flake; STF Thermoform-Folien GmbH, a maker of recycled PET and PS sheet for thermoforming; and STF Maschinen & Anlagenbau GmbH, a new operation building STF's recycling machinery.
Kruschitz is founder and sole owner of Kruschitz GmbH in Volkermarkt, Austria, an umbrella for four companies. Kruschitz Kunststoff-Recycling GmbH recycles post-consumer PET bottles and industrial scrap. OvoPET Verpackungsproduktions makes recycled PET sheet for thermoforming and crystallized pellets for bottle-to-bottle molding. Sky Plastic toll compounds industrial scrap of PS, PP, and HDPE. And PRM-Handels GmbH is a broker of recycled glass, metal, and plastic, which also recently began building recycling systems.
Built from experience
STF's and Kruschitz's successes are due at least in part to their ability to build and assemble much of their machinery in-house, with each new plant incorporating improvements learned from hard-earned experience. "The know-how from daily production of PET flake optimizes the construction of further PET recycling plants," says Soellner of STF, which recycles approximately 250,000 lb/day of PET flake. Daily use of the machinery "ensures continual development and improvement of the PET recycling plant."
STF began to sell its home-built recycling machinery 10 years ago, offering what owner Soellner calls his "little pots" to wash flake (see p. 49 for details). Six years ago when PET bottles began to replace glass in Germany, STF built its first hot-caustic friction washer and has expanded with three more PET washing plants since then. STF doesn't build everything in-house. It buys specialized components like automatic sortation devices and granulators. Other system components are modifications of existing machinery.
In 2002 STF named an agent and exhibited at a couple of German trade shows in 2004 and 2005. There are now 28 STF lines running commercially in Europe and in the Middle East. Soellner isn't concerned about creating competition in his back yard. STF has done so well with machine sales that Soellner is now considering making machinery his primary business, and continuing the recycling operation only to support new machinery developments.
Home-grown technology
Even Kruschitz uses STF's wash line for PET bottle flake, and also buys 60% of STF's PET flake output. Then Kruschitz crystallizes and pelletizes the PET for bottle-to-bottle applications.
Kruschitz assembles his own machines for polyolefin flake washing from a number of purchased components. He also builds his complex materials-handling systems to handle a lot of different resins and convey them automatically from flake processing to compounding and pelletizing.
Four large twin-screw extruders compound polyolefins into colored and glass-filled materials. Two compounding lines are dedicated to PP, one to HDPE, and one to PS from yogurt cups. Kruschitz produces 55 million lb/yr of polyolefin compounds for markets like pipe, injection molding, automotive, and office furniture.
After observing STF's success in building machines for commercial sale, Kruschitz began to offer his recycling plants and machinery for sale. "I've seen how well Mr. Soellner does with machinery," Kruschitz notes. He has already sold two lines, one for LDPE in Yugoslavia and one for HDPE in Indonesia.

HOUSTON - A Houston police officer headed to a burglary call ended up involved in an accident late Sunday night.
Just after 10:45 p.m. Sunday, the officer was driving down Hempstead Highway with his lights and siren on.
Investigators said the officer was near West Tidwell when he hit a series of potholes. His squad car spun out, hit another car, and ended up in a ditch.
The officer was not hurt.
A passenger in the other car was taken to the hospital after he complained of dizziness.
The westbound lanes of Hempstead Highway were closed for hours while Houston police investigated the scene.
Within one block there are more than a dozen pot holes.
TxDot said it is in the process of resurfacing Hempstead with asphalt to improve the road.
The $3.6 million project stretches about eight miles from Magnum Road to Brittmoore Road.
People who live and work near the area told Local 2 the road is in dire need of repair.
"I went through one and then hit that one and then went to the other side," said driver Catherine Lyons. "Both my tires went flat."
"You wouldn't want to run a low profile car across there, it would end up bottoming out," said Scott McCall, who works in the area.
TxDot said the project should be completed by early 2014.

This Friday's Southern Area title fight is a big deal for Chas Symonds – lose and he knows his boxing career is as good as over.
The 29-year-old fights Darryl Still at the Coronet in Elephant & Castle for the welterweight title he first won when he knocked out Brett James in the 2004.
Since losing it to Ross Minter 12 months later, Symonds's career has stalled and included two lengthy breaks from the ring.
His latest return saw him fight Gavin Tait for the belt in November but he was defeated on points and he realises another defeat this week will spell the end of his ambitions.
"I know I will not get another chance," he said.
"There is a lot of people in line for this title so I am privileged to get this shot again and I have got to win.
"The last fight against Gavin I thought I had won but it went his way.
"I wanted a rematch but he has now vacated the belt and I am facing Darryl.
"I haven't watched him but I do know him well as I wanted to fight him when I came out of retirement two years ago but he turned it down.
"He has won his last six fights on the spin and hasn't lost in two years so is up for the challenge.
"But I have no choice – I have to win this fight.
"I'm feeling good, I want to get in there and do what I have got to do."
Symonds, a lifelong Crystal Palace fan, was presented to the Eagles crowd at half-time during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town and received a rousing reception.
"It was great," added Symonds, who is sponsored by Simply Construction and Paul's Antiques.
"My trainer, manager and myself were sat in the front row by the dug out and Palace have said they will support me for as long as I keep boxing and I have got some good support on Twitter from the fans since Saturday.
"Bolton Wanderers have Amir Khan, Millwall have David Haye and now Crystal Palace have Chas Symonds."
The bout headlines the bill at the Coronet, which also includes Waddon fighter Ryan Joe Walsh, who takes on Diego Burton in his second professional fight.

Fencing Question
How much for labour and materials to pu fencing in my garden
My garden is approx 70 feet
7 Answers
Best Answer
hi there
looking at the answers below i must say most of them are wrong,the fencing is priced per meter not per hole and depending on location type used ,post used gravel boards used depending the site clearance and level ,you have approx. 21 m of fencing price starts from larch lap panel at £50-55 per meter and if is close boarded price starts at £60-65 per meter
the person quoting for £40 per meter is not enough even for the materials and no one works as a fencer or landscaper is working with £50 a day
get a fencing company not a builder company who will price at a professional level and in the same time will fitted for you with warranty in place
only a fencing company will be able to warranty their work
thanks peter
Answered 15th May 2011
Hello Sir/Madam,
The answer to your question is, £800.00, this is a good quote for the best type of fencing at 6' high in normall conditions, without a site visit could be less or more
Answered 8th Apr 2011
Hi, the average cost for standard fencing would be around £80 per hole. That includes panel, gravel board, concrete post, concrete and labour. So for 70ft you're looking at roughly £1000. Location will play a big part in a quote though. That estimate is based in Midlands area.
Answered 11th Apr 2011
It can depend on which type of fence you require, and what type of fence posts you would like the fence secured with (eg Wood/Concrete). As a guide most Fencing companies work to @£100 per panel. So to erect a 70 foot fence would put you in the region of @ £1200 subject to the exact specifications you require. Hope this helps answer your question. Kind Regards Bizz Ness Property Maintenance.
Answered 7th Apr 2011
We charge for close boarding and feather edge 1.2m -1.8m for materials inc labour £47-£60 and for lap fencing from £55 based on a 1.2 panels

EDUCATION Secretary Michael Gove recently castigated Simon Cowell for his negative attitude to his school days, but many children hate school.
Perhaps Gove should look at what our schools are doing these days. Our education system is out of step with real life and needs a revolution to unleash children's talents and be exciting, inspirational and more individual. We are killing creativity and stifling minds for government league tables. The soul is as important as the brain.
Why do we highly praise someone who is born accidentally with so-called "intelligence" and finds learning easy, but not someone who has to work really hard for their results? Why should a university degree be more worthy when so much in life is enriched by artists, dancers, sports persons, writers, photographers, singers, musicians and actors?
A friend of mine left school at 15 and was asked if he thought that this had hindered him. "Oh yes, it did tremendously" he said. "I should have left at ten and I would have been far more successful".
He happens to be one of the most successful, richest and influential people in the country and didn't come out of university with a £53,000 debt.

A manufacturer's ability to implement e-business technology may have a profound impact on its bottom line over the next few years. Even in industries that until now have been immune to Internet fever, a comprehensive Internet strategy has become an important competitive advantage. For one Michigan-based cutting tool manufacturer, e-business wasn't just about buying and selling on the Web. It was about providing better service and convenience to its existing customers and distributors.
Quinco Tool Products (Oak Park, Michigan) was founded in 1950 as a manufacturer of HSS and premium cobalt end mills. Two hundred miles separate the company's headquarters from the manufacturing facility, and its distributors are spread throughout the country, so reliable lines of communication are extremely important to the operation of the business. "We saw a need to improve our ability to communicate both internally and externally, and the Internet seemed to be a good fit," says Charlie Warren, sales manager of Quinco Tool. "We had a Web site, but it had become outdated, so we looked at ways to improve it." In early 2000, Quinco decided to completely rebuild its Web site, as well as its overall Internet strategy, with the help of Envision, Inc. (Bingham Farms, Michigan).
Strategically, Quinco had several challenges. There was an increasing need to give its distributors easy access to up-to-date inventory, product and production information. And, in what was becoming a more competitive marketplace, the company also needed to squeeze more efficiency out of the order fulfillment process—making Quinco a faster, easier and more available alternative than its competitors. Whatever solution the company decided on would also have to seamlessly interface with its internal business system and its custom production information system at the Rose City manufacturing plant.
In planning the new Web site, it became clear that any meaningful Internet initiative would be an integral part of its business system, not just an add-on. The site needed to facilitate order entry, special quotes, real-time inventory reporting from each warehouse and distributor information, and it had to be flexible enough to add new features without requiring a major re-build.
The resulting Web site achieved those goals and more. One important feature came through the automated update component. Not only did it improve the timeliness of the data that were available on the Web site, but it also eliminated double entry and manual uploads. Now, when inventory or description information is updated in Quinco's internal production and business systems, it is automatically updated on the Web site.
The new site was completed by the Fall of 2000, and it proved to be more useful than expected. From time to time, computer-based business systems go down for maintenance or repairs. When that happens, companies can't stop answering the phone or taking orders—which can quickly escalate to a crisis situation. During a recent outage of the in-house order entry system at Quinco, the sales staff was able to switch gears and quickly access inventory and production information through the Web site even though the business system was down. "For a short-term outage, it was a real life saver. Without it, we would have been dead in the water," says Tom Spedding, vice president and general manager at Quinco.
Another unexpected use of production information was the ability of sales and production staff to access production run quantities and expected delivery dates from the road, anytime of the day or night. On a recent out-of-state sales call, sales manager Charlie Warren needed production information for a large quote. In the past, it would have meant that he had to wait until the next day to get the information he needed. But since Quinco had revamped its Web site, Mr. Warren was able to get up-to-date delivery estimates and deliver a quote that evening from the comfort of his hotel room.
Since its launch, use of the site for online ordering and product information has been steadily increasing. From the testing phase to the limited initial roll out, through the current full-scale release, feedback has been very positive. "We had an idea of what to expect, because we had been talking to our customers about it throughout development, but you never really know until they start to use it," says Mr. Warren. "So far, we've heard nothing but good things about it. We're certain that we have the most advanced e-business solution in our industry."

Chennai, June 3 (ANI): Minister of State in Prime Minister's Office (PMO) V. Narayanasamy on Monday took potshots at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) following Lal Krishna Advani's praise for Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan vis-a-vis his Gujarat counterpart Narendra Modi, saying it is a leaderless party where everybody is in a tussle for due recognition.
Narayanasamy said there is a leadership tussle going on in the BJP as to who would be the Prime Ministerial candidate in 2014.
"Who will be the Prime Minister that is a big question mark in the BJP? Advani wants to become Prime Minister, Narendra Modi wants to become Prime Minister, Arun Jaitley wants to become Prime Minister, Sushma Swaraj wants to become Prime Minister, Rajnath Singh wants to become Prime Minister. It's a leaderless party. Everybody claims to be the leader, but people are not recognizing them," said Narayanasamy.
"But as far as Congress Party is concerned, Congress President Sonia Gandhi is the leader. Whatever the Congress President says that is the final word," he added, while lauding the ruling Congress Party's leadership.
Narayanasamy also launched a frontal attack on Modi, saying he is claming credit without doing any work.
"As far as Advani's statement is concerned, I am very clear in my mind because I would like to say one thing that the claim that has been made by Narendra Modi saying that he is a 'Vikas Purush' is totally bogus because the people of Gujarat are enterprising people, it is a fast developing state. Therefore, Narendra Modi's contribution is zero," said Narayanasamy.
"Narendra Modi is giving publicity without doing any work and he is claming credit. That is what Advani said in his statement in Madhya Pradesh. Therefore, Advani's statement to a certain extent is alright," he added.
Narayanasamy, however, said that he does not approve Advani's praise for Shivraj Singh Chauhan because there is corruption in Madhya Pradesh Government.
The BJP earlier in the day played down the reports of an internal rift within the party, and said that Advani's comments have been misinterpreted.
"Mr. Shivraj Singh Chouhan who was present in the state executive of the BJP in Madhya Pradesh at Gwalior said that Mr. Lal Krishna Advani while making his speech had praised all the BJP-ruled Chief Ministers be it Narendra Modi, be it Raman Singh, be it Shivraj Singh Chouhan, be it Manohar Parrikar. All had been praised and in doing so, like a statesman, Mr. Lal Krishna Advani carried a positive word for every Chief Minister," said BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy.
"And it's very natural practice that when you visit a particular state where the entire state executive or the council is sitting there, you are expected to boost the workers and the state executive members who expect a lot for the leadership. So, I think it's not in isolation; there is a complete misrepresentation or misinterpretation," he added.
Advani said over the weekend that Modi's development of Gujarat is noteworthy. He, however, said Shivraj Singh Chouhan deserves recognition because he turned around a poor state.
"I tell Narendrabhai Modi that Gujarat was healthy earlier also. You have made it excellent and you deserve congratulations for that. But what Chouhan and the Chhattisgarh Chief Minister did was wonderful," he had said in Gwalior. (ANI)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/11/2010 (2468 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
"There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction"
- Winston Churchill
Today marks a new beginning for your friendly neighbourhood crime reporter.
Gone is my original website, which I proudly built on my own from the ground up more than seven years ago. In its place is a new blog which, like the website, I plan to update frequently with news – and views – on important and interesting justice issues of the day.
My goal for MikeOnCrime remains the same as the day I started it – to be a one-stop shop for the countless folks who have an interest about crime and safety in their community, their city, their country and their world. But instead of just a steady stream of stories filling the page, we are going to be much more interactive than we have been in the past.
That means you'll be hearing a lot more from me, weighing in with my two cents on the headlines of the day. And, more importantly, it means you will be able to drive the conversation.
MikeOnCrime is also where you'll be able to read my daily Twitter updates – you can also follow me directly at twitter.com/mikeoncrime – which frequently give you a virtual front-row seat in court. You'll also find the latest information on my weekly national "Crime and Punishment" radio show and various book projects and community events.
As well, I will frequently post documents such as judicial decisions and victim impact statements in an attempt to provide the type of comprehensive coverage and understanding you won't find anywhere else.
It won't all be doom and gloom, I promise. I want to have some fun with the site, and will be posting some of my favourite "Lighter Side of the Law" anecdotes and stories I stumble across.
Manitoba Judge Ray Wyant will also weigh in periodically as part of my exclusive "Ask The Judge" feature, answering email questions from readers about the inner workings of the justice system.
We'll also be incorporating plenty of photos and video into the site as the Free Press continues to forge ahead as the online news leader in town.
The possibilities are endless, and I am excited to see where we are headed as the role of traditional media continues to evolve. It should be quite a journey, one that I hope you will make a point of joining us on by bookmarking the site and checking back frequently for updates.
If you are new to MikeOnCrime, then welcome. If you are were a fan of the previous site, then I think you are going to love what we've done with the place!
As always, I'd love to hear from you. If you have feedback, ideas or tips, you can email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Artist: Willem Kalf (Dutch, Rotterdam 1619–1693 Amsterdam)
Date: 1659
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 23 x 20 in. (58.4 x 50.8 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Maria DeWitt Jesup Fund, 1953
Accession Number: 53.111
Kalf was perhaps the most influential painter of luxurious still lifes from the 1650s onward, though few other artists approached his refinement. Here the effects of light, texture, and color make the painting itself an object of rare craftsmanship, like the Turkish table carpet, the silver tray, and the late Ming bowl. The fruits have been worn and toned down by past cleanings, and the entire painting has darkened with age.

I use the 20mm lashes on clients with a thicker natural lash. They love how full their lashes look when finished! They're also great because the thicker base makes application faster. I plan on purchasing the 15mm to try on clients with thinner natural lashes.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Previously, his older brother who looks a lot like him committed a crime and blamed him for it, luckily he beat the case due to the video of where the crime was taken. They're trying to accuse him of pc209, Though, he did not kidnap anyone and his brother is the reason why he's getting charged with it due to mistaken identity. How do we beat this case if he is innocent?? And about how much time will he do in jail? He has a clean background (never been to jail before) ALSO, they're accusing him of being affiliated with a gang...
It is obvious that he is facing serious charges and he needs representation. The most important thing is to involve an attorney as soon as possible. It takes time to prepare for charges that he is facing, specially since they are bringing gang affiliation and that means they can enhance his sentence. Get an attorney asap.Ask a similar question
Your boyfriend is charged with serious offenses. You should not post facts associated with such serious charges on a public website and seek a consultation with a criminal defense attorney ASAP. Mistaken identity is definitely a defense to most criminal charges. In regards to potential sentence, if he is convicted of serious felonies, he is looking at several years in the state prison.

Corruption, tax revenue and growth: a non linear relationship?
In this paper we explore tax revenue in a regime of widespread corruption in a static and dynamic framework. We prove that the relationship between the tax rate and tax collection is not linear. In a static context, this may bring about a Laffer, like behavior of overall tax revenue; a higher tax rate, via higher corruption, may reduce revenues. In a dynamic context, this rela- tionship is inverted: tax revenues are high for low and high tax rates, while low for intermediate tax rates. Furthermore we prove that the relationship between the tax rate and growth is not linear: at low levels of the tax rate, any increase in it leads to a decreasing growth rate; after a certain threshold, increases in the tax rate lead to an increase in economic growth.

You don't have to look too closely at the movie "Killing Them Softly" to notice that there's something different going on here than your average slam-bang Hollywood shoot-'em-up.
Although it's not especially long, at 97 minutes, it has a measured, methodical rhythm, establishing its panoply of hoodlums through extended conversations rather than explosive action sequences.
The profane, hard-boiled, frequently hilarious dialogue among Brad Pitt, Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta and others is the heart of the film, with sudden bursts of shocking violence used more as punctuation than major plot developments.
Pitt grad John Paul Horstmann, the film's co-editor, played a major part in determining the peculiar, intriguing structure and timing of "Killing Me Softly."
"An editor takes the performances that were shot on set, and helps construct the story," Horstmann says. "Ordering the shots to tell the story, anything that needed to be assembled. In layman's terms, it's like putting together a giant puzzle for a year."
"Killing Them Softly" is a bleak exploration of the greed and desperation among small-time criminals in an unnamed American city, mirroring the collapsing economy during the presidential race of 2008.
Two not-so-smart crooks (Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn) rob a secret gambling den, which threatens to undermine the entire underground economy of the city. A crooked politician (Jenkins) hires a contract killer (Pitt) to sort things out.
"I really liked the robbery (scene)," Horstmann says. "I had a lot of fun. As an editor, you can play with the expectations of people. In the movie, they rob a card game. At any moment, somebody might fire a gun or run out of the room. It was great to build tension, seeing people slowly reach hands in their pockets. You don't know if they're going for a gun, or what."
Horstmann, originally from the Philadelphia area, studied history and English at the University of Pittsburgh. It was his extracurricular activities, though, that ultimately put him on the road to Hollywood.
"Pitt was really a great training ground for that. I got some funds to put together a student-run TV station," he says. "We had our own film school – we made our own shows, shot our own movies, and put them on the cable channel there.
"My brother had a cooking show on UPTV. That was kind of fun. We had a soap opera about student housing accidentally pairing two guys and two girls in the same room, and they had to share a bathroom."
With that experience under his belt, Horstmann met with writer/filmmaker/producer Carl Kurlander who taught at Pitt. He told Horstmann about the American Cinema Editors internship program in Los Angeles.
Horstmann applied, against fairly long odds.
"I got it, and packed all my stuff within a week. I worked for free for like a year, and then, got into the union."
Horstmann says that almost everyone he worked with at the campus TV station who stayed ended up doing something with what they learned.
"It wasn't just a hobby," he says. "One guy went into reporting. Another guy is a big reality-TV producer in New York. Another went into independent filmmaking. One of the guys on our sports show just won an Emmy. He does all the Washington Wizards promos."
"Killing Them Softly" was written and directed by Andrew Dominik, and adapted from a novel by George V. Higgins.
Horstmann also worked as an editor on Dominik's previous film, the atmospheric, melancholy Western "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" (2007).

Organizational Behavior
Kreitner and Kinicki's Organizational Behavior, 6th Edition, continues its tradition of being up-to-date, relevant and user-driven. Kreitner and Kinicki's approach to organizational behavior is based on the authors' belief that reading a comprehensive textbook is hard work, but that the process should be interesting (and sometimes fun). Thus, they consistently attempt to find a way to make complex ideas understandable through explanations, contemporary examples, and/or learning exercises.
The cover again depicts the well known visual brand of Wolves. This remains a central theme because Kreitner and Kinicki see wolves as an instructive and inspiring metaphor for modern Organizational Behavior. Wolves are dedicated team players, great communicators, and adaptable. These are key success attributes in today's workplace.

Novelist Mary Relindes Ellis brings the immigrant experience home. Her latest book, "The Bohemian Flats: A Novel," explores immigration and Minnesota's history through the eyes of her great-great-grandparents before World War I.
She first got the idea for the book after crossing some steps in Minneapolis and wondering why they were there. She soon immersed herself in the history of the area.
Because she grew up with many immigrants, she knew what it was like to have that experience. Ellis wanted her novel to show a different angle of immigration. Instead of the typical immigrant story of coming from poverty, with no money, she wanted to show what it was like from the young intellectual perspective.
"My great-great-grandparents did come over with money," Ellis said. "They weren't rich, but definitely had money. I wanted to show the immigrant experience of these three young intellectuals who reject all the bourgeois German wealth deliberately to choose to live in a very poor area because they are the hippies of their day."
Ellis will hold a book signing at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, April 26, at Scout & Morgan Books in Cambridge. She hopes Isanti County residents can connect with the novel because the same type of immigrant experience happened in Cambridge, Isanti and surrounding cities.
The novel follows Raimund Kaufmann and his brother Albert from a German farm to the Bohemian Flats of Minnesota — a diverse immigrant village along the banks of the Mississippi River. There, they find different forms of prejudice and a chance to reinvent their lives in the milling capitol of the U.S. They find diversity and a vibrant culture that many Minnesotans have forgotten.
"Minnesota was probably one of the most tolerant immigrant communities," Ellis said. "People say that New York and Boston have this amazing immigrant experiences, not realizing that it's here in Minneapolis too. It was the very same. We had prostitution among the riverfront and runaway slaves that followed the Mississippi."
She hopes that Minnesotan readers will learn to embrace the rich history, good and bad.
"Minnesota has its warts," Ellis said. "I'm tired of this region of the country being seen as bland, as nothing. That just isn't so. We have the biggest Somali population in the nation. We have good food. We have the largest Hmong and Cambodian immigrant population in the nation. It's not boring. Minnesotans are a bit too modest in claiming their history, and they need to claim their history."
She also hopes that they come out of the novel more tolerant and with a better understanding of what it feels like to move to a new country.
Ellis was raised in northern Wisconsin. She grew up feeling out of place, with her not-so German features. She remembers being classified as anything but German: French, East Indian or Mexican mostly. She moved to Minnesota in 1978 and received her degree in English from the University of Minnesota.
"About my junior year (in college), I told my mom I wanted to be a writer," Ellis remembered. "She cried."
The Bohemian Flats follows Ellis' widely acclaimed first novel "The Turtle Warrior." She's already working on her third novel, which will follow one of the main characters from "The Bohemian Flats" on a new journey.
Scout & Morgan Books is located at 114 Buchanan St. N., Cambridge, and can be reached at 763-689-2474.

The Indianapolis Colts are an American football team that plays in the AFC South, which represents the heart of the Bible Belt. They are quarterbacked by Peyton Manning and coached by Tony Dungy.
History Edit
The Indianapolis Colts were originally located in Baltimore. In 1984 they decided to move to Indianapolis in a wave of euphoria over Ronald Reagan's re-election. Baltimore has never forgiven the Colts for leaving, even though they have their own team now.
In more recent years, the Colts have been the primary nemesis of the New England Patriots, who have rightfully dominated recent Super Bowls. In 2007, however, for reasons unfathomable, the sacred duty of defending all that is good and holy from the Bears has fallen to these valiant men from Indianapolis, who have the solemn duty of avenging the Saints, and claiming the Super Bowl on behalf of the New York Giants.
- 4 K Adam Vinatieri (winner of 3 Super Bowls as a Patriot)
- 18 QB Peyton Manning (Bear Slayer, future spokesman for Stephen Colbert's Formula 419)
- 63 C Jeff Saturday
- 92 DT Booger McFarland
Style of PlayEdit
Offensively, Indianapolis utilizes a single-back twin tight end set, and frequently runs from the shotgun formation. The shotgun was named in homage to Vice President Dick Cheney, who inspired this precise, deadly and effective offense with his no-nonsense approach to terrorism. A major flaw in the Colts' implementation is that Peyton Manning relies too much on film study and facts rather than using guts to win games. This doubtlessly cost him several touchdowns and has hindered his path to true greatness.
Impact on Bear Population in IndianapolisEdit
Thanks to the efforts of the Colts' defense, the bear population in Indianapolis is at an all-time low. A few bears are imprisoned at the Indianapolis Zoo and Penitentiary, and their existence is also threatened by local elephants. In addition, a recent Bear's fan was forced to change his name to Peyton Manning, thus making him a true American for denouncing Bearism. Soon after changing his name, Mr. Manning became a Republican and was proud to join the supportive group of George W. Bush. However, he was a bit surprised to show up to the meeting and see that he was the only one in the room.
Superbowl AppearancesEdit
The Colts have allegedly appeared in 3 Super Bowls, the second of which they kept the evil-pinko-commie Dallas Cowboys at bay. Yet it was only after moving to Indianapolis that they won one of the greatest Super Bowl victories of all time, slaughtering the Chicago Bears and saving the midwest from the great bear menace.
Superbowl XLIEdit
The Colts slaughtered the Chicago Bears in Superbowl XLI 29-17, in what many believe was a symbolic showdown between good and evil. MVP Peyton Manning took full advantage of the scouting report provided by Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, DFA, which called for rain and exploiting the Bears' inability to hold on to the ball. Dr. Colbert predicts great things for Manning, and feels the perfect way for him to kick-start his endorsements is by pitching Stephen Colbert's Formula 419, a new blend of Stephen Colbert's Formula 401 with added Essence of 18.
Superbowl Crisis Edit
The fact that the Colts and Bears are meeting in Super Bowl XLI is very disheartening to Americans everywhere. Though it may seem that the Colts are the obvious choice since they are not bears, their quarterback, Peyton Manning, is an evil being with known ties to Xenu (though not a $cientologist) as well as the communist party. Only an American quarterback (like Tom Brady or John Elway) can truly save our nation, so it seems that America is screwed either way.

How To Install Electric Operated Roller Shutters
- Looking for the Battery-Powered Security Roller Shutters instructions?
- Looking for the "How To Install" videos?
Tools required:
- Spirit level.
- Drill.
- Hammer.
- 10mm drill bit.
- 5mm drill bit.
- 5 or 6mm Masonry drill bit depending on wall plug size chosen, and screws to suit. For timber frame windows, just screws.
- Electric Roller Shutters components: 1 head box, 2 guides, 2 guide legs, 10mm coloured guide plugs and rivets.
Step 1.
Mark the top horizontal position of the Roller Shutters on the wall above the window. On this line mark the width of the shutter. From these 2 marks, vertically level down each side of the window. You will now have the out line of the Roller Shutters marked on the wall. At this stage you can check the Roller Shutters is central to the window and is exactly horizontal and vertical -- This Is Most Important!
With the out line of your shutter now marked on the wall, you can now decide the best point of entry for the mains power and pre drill the hole before installing (if required).
In-Reveal is the same principle, but your window is your horizontal and vertical position. Still check that they are exactly horizontal and vertical -- This Is Most Important!
Step 2.
Measure the depth of the head box Then from the top horizontal position of the Roller Shutters which you have marked on the wall, measure this distance down each side. This will then give you the position for the top of the guide on each side of the window. For In-Reveal Roller Shutters you can now cut the guide to the exact length, and angle of the sill.
Step 3.
Hold the guide in the 2 positions marked. Top of guide position (as in step 2) and the vertical guide position (as in step 1). You can now mark the best position to fix the guide to the wall and these marks can be transferred to the other side guide. You can now drill through the front and back of the guide; the drill size is determined by the size of screw you use. The front of the guide will need a 10mm hole in which the 10mm coloured guide plugs are inserted - this then covers up the fixing points.
For In-Reveal:
The fixing holes are drilled from the curtain side 10mm to the outside 5mm. No 10mm coloured plug is required.
Step 4.
The head box comes with pre drilled holes to attach the head box cover after
installation. The guide legs can now be slid into position, then slide the
Roller Shutters guides on each side leg. Carefully place the Roller Shutters
on the out-line of the Roller Shutters marked on the wall and mark your fixing
Then drill and plug the wall if masonry; if it is a timber wall, just a pilot hole to suit the fixing screws.
Step 5.
Carefully place the Roller Shutters
next to the window, then feed the cable from the motor (if required) through the hole you have pre drilled in Step 1, this will help the electrician. Raise the Roller Shutters to the outline of the
Roller Shutters marked on the wall and then screw the Roller Shutters
to the wall.
For On-Wall Installation then insert the 10mm coloured guide plugs.
Step 6.
Unwrap the curtain and place the bottom bar of the curtain into the guides on each side.
Please note: The curtain of the roller shutter will not move, until the motor has power to turn the axle.
Step 7.
Contact a qualified electrician!
Step 8.
At the motor end of the Roller Shutters you will see a Yellow and a White button. These are to set the stop position of the Roller Shutters at the fully open and fully closed position.
SOMFY electric motor on
left side of Roller Shutters
SOMFY electric motor on
right side of Roller Shutters.
|White button is to set the down limit, the yellow button is to set the upper limit.
|Yellow button is to set the down limit, the white button is to set the upper limit.
With both buttons depressed, you can now commence to set your 'up' and 'down' limits. It would be advisable to begin the limit setting with the curtain in the middle position and practice setting the limits until you are confident and comfortable with this procedure.
Setting the lower limit position:
Power the motor down and stop the product at the Down limit position.
Press the corresponding limit button on the HiPro motor until the button
springs up.
The lower limit positions has been set.
Setting the up limit position:
Power the motor up and stop the product at the Up limit position. Press the
