Green Day star Mike Dirnt has opened up about the health crisis which sent frontman Billie Joe Armstrong to rehab, revealing the singer was overworked and tired when he suffered a meltdown at a show in Las Vegas.
The 21 Guns star checked himself into a treatment facility the following day for substance abuse issues, and now his bandmate has shed a little light on what went wrong.
Bass player Dirnt tells BBC Radio 1 Armstrong was under a lot of pressure as the group embarked on a major campaign to promote three albums in four months.
He says, "It was a tremendous undertaking... (and) it catches up with you a little bit. We definitely jumped off a moving train.
"All that inertia. There were signs of things hitting the fan, we hadn't slept in forever."
Dirnt admits he hasn't seen Armstrong since the Las Vegas meltdown, when Armstrong hurled expletives at the organisers of the iHeartRadio Music Festival for trying to cut his set.
But the rocker insists he and fellow bandmate Tre Cool had no qualms about scrapping their promotional commitments as Armstrong sought help, adding, "We had to put the life of our friend in front of everything."
Armstrong appeared on TV talent show The Voice on Monday in a segment that was taped before his meltdown and subsequent rehab stint, which is ongoing.
As his debut on The Voice aired, the band announced plans to pull its appearance at this month's Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Drummer Cool tells WENN, "Cancelling shows is something we rarely do. We never want to let our fans down, and we are grateful for all of you being understanding during this time."

Agreed on all parts, I think with time Schroeder could improve, I really wanted him in the shootout!! AV needs to be fired from picking whose going into the shootout.Aaronp18 wrote:Great game by Kassian, smarts, hands, size. Not a lot not to like about him.
Schroeder can play everyday of the week over Ebbett thanks. Not that he did a whole lot but you can see that he reads plays well and can distribute the puck, he has some offensive talent.
This game should have been a rout if not for penalties. Though I did like it when Kassian ran Kipper and there wasn't a Flame that even glanced in his direction afterwards!
Win is a win but the Canucks need to clean up their game. This will come with games and practice, not to mention getting Kesler and Booth back.
Liked Schneiders game as well, solid in the shootout for sure.
Happy to finally squeak out a win! We needed a confidence builder.

I answered the phone one night and this fellow from Michigan was asking me if our relatively new caving club could take a large group of scouts on a cave trip. I offered many reasons why we couldn't but he was very persuasive and seemed to have all the basic needs covered.
Next weekend the Eastern Indiana Grotto will accompany BSA Troop 43 on our 20th annual caving adventure. Over the last two decades many friendships have developed and many young (and not so young) folks have shared a marvelous adventure. I'm proud of this milestone and want to thank everyone who's been involved.
Over the years we have shared our love for caves with many youth groups but they were the first. Glad I answered the phone that night.

According to numerous sources, Yahoo has been shopping around Zimbra, the open-source email company it bought in late 2007 for $350 million.
Zimbra is only one of the many assets of Yahoo (YHOO) that are now on the block, including its personals business, its HotJobs online classified unit and many more to come, said sources.
The effort to unload Zimbra is yet another sign that the company is trying to slim down its diverse portfolio, even as it strives to redefine itself this week with a new, pricey marketing campaign that seeks to position Yahoo primarily as a consumer company.
As first reported by BoomTown last week, Yahoo will be introducing a massive branding campaign tomorrow on the second day of Advertising Week in New York.
The new focus Yahoo is aiming for with advertisers is to stress its huge size and scale with consumers. The troubled Internet giant is still one of the most trafficked sites on the Web.
And consumers will also be reminded of this. The Wall Street Journal wrote a follow-up story yesterday on the marketing effort, noting that the $100 million campaign's tagline is "It's You."
Get it? The "Y" in Yahoo is the same as the one in You!
The details of the plan will be made public tomorrow at a press conference immediately after a keynote speech–titled "Yahoo's Consumer Revolution…Round II"–that the company's new CMO, Elisa Steele, is set to deliver at the Interactive Advertising Bureau's MIXX conference.
The goal, said several sources at Yahoo, will be to stress Yahoo's consumer business over all others, which are supported mostly via brand advertising, leaving more extraneous ones out in the cold.
Which is why Zimbra–like a lot of other Yahoo properties–is being shopped around by its top mergers and acquisitions exec, Greg Mrva and others.
(Mrva's new job title should be: VP of un-mergers and de-acquisitions.)
Backed by Benchmark Capital, Redpoint Ventures and Accel Partners, Zimbra was an innovative start-up whose main business was to provide clients–including Comcast (CMCSA), many ISPs and a number of colleges–with white-label email software capabilities.
Yahoo bought the company to goose that business, whose main rival has been Google (GOOG)–along with using Zimbra technology to improve its massive consumer email offering, also under siege from Google.
That integration has gone slowly, and Yahoo now has less interest in selling email products to others.
But the price Yahoo would get, many think, would be significantly lower that what it paid for Zimbra.
Nonetheless, potential buyers include Comcast and Google, as well as private-equity investors.
In addition, it is not out of the question that its former venture investors could be interested in a classic Silicon Valley buyback.
Zimbra's founder and CEO, Satish Dharmaraj, who left Yahoo earlier this year, is now working at Redpoint.
Here is a video interview I did with Dharmaraj in early 2008, after the Yahoo deal was struck:

Our Bananas
Think of bananas and you probably think of Chiquita and the familiar blue sticker. For good reason. We were the first company to brand the banana back in 1944, when we introduced Miss Chiquita. Her catchy jingle taught consumers about Chiquita bananas and how to store them.
Just in case you can't sing, find out below everything you need to know about selecting and handling Chiquita bananas.
You can also expand your taste horizons by exploring our exotic banana varieties.
When asked to name one brand of bananas, more consumers say Chiquita than any other brand. Chiquita is tops with consumers for taste, appearance, freshness, nutrition, value and size too.
The Banana Ripening Process
Bananas are harvested green and begin ripening as soon as the banana stem is cut from the plant.
Chiquita classifies banana ripeness into five peel color stages:
- Green
- Yellow with Green Tips
- Yellow
- Yellow with Brown Flecks
- Brown

These animals employ so-called batrachotoxins (BTXs), which are secreted through the skin, as protection against parasites and predators. Because the skin of frogs raised in captivity lacks detectable amounts of BTXs, researchers surmised that the creatures must obtain the poison from their food, though no insect or plant had been found to contain BTXs. Now John P. Dumbacher of the California Academy of Sciences and his colleagues have discovered in New Guinea a type of beetle that harbors high levels of the chemical. Local villagers suggested beetles of the genus Choresine as a potential source, because contact with them causes tingling and numbness.
The researchers collected nearly 400 bugs and identified a variety of BTXs, some of which had not previously been identified. Because New Guinea's passerine birds feed on insects, including beetles, the authors posit that the bugs are a direct source of the chemicals in the toxic birds. They further note that close relatives of Choresine are common in the rainforests of Colombia and may thus supply the local poison-dart frogs with their lethal power.

Buzz: Blood-stirring: Cook's latest anything but static
After seeing him open for blues legends B.B. King and Robert Cray, fans might not think that local all-star guitarist Eli Cook would have a pop-rock record up his sleeve. But they'd be wrong. Even more surprising, this tendency, according to Cook, has been there all along.
"I've always taken things from all sorts of music," says the 23-year-old musician. His previous release bears this out – 2007's ElectricHolyFireWater was a Mississippi-meets-Seattle fusion of the blues for which he's best known for and the 90's grunge on which he grew up.
"These songs," he says, "lended themselves to more of a pop, R&B studio production quality– things that are harder to do live with a band."
The album, Static in the Blood, reveals glimpses of a Cook that may be foreign to local listeners initially drawn in by his deep bluesy drawl and hard-rock affectations. While he says he's always working in the shadows of blues greats like Mississippi John Hurt or Stevie Ray Vaughan, this seventeen-song release also alludes to contemporary hip-hop and singer-songwriter pop-rock. What's more, by taking his time in the studio, Cook was also able to take the reins creatively– he plays most of the instruments himself.
"A lot of it was written before, and it didn't seem to fit into the solo, blues, acoustic live format– but it also didn't fit into the rock band thing either," he says. "It's one of the few times that I've finished a record and been able to listen to it – it doesn't sound like anything I'd usually perform live."
But perform it he will, as a soloist before he embarks on a mini-national tour at the end of October. And although he refers to artists as diverse as Jay-Z and the Beatles when describing his new sound, Cook is confident that this direction is as blues-friendly as previous endeavors.
"People tend to want to label things; and, really, when it comes to the music, you're going to hear the blues influence in all of my music," he says confidently. "Whether its pop, solo, singer-songwriter or pseudo-metal, you're still going to hear all those influences because it's who I am."
Eli Cook releases Static in the Blood on Saturday, October 24 at Rivals. Book of Job opens. The show starts at 9pm, and tickets are $8.

READ Winter Weather: Storm Summary
Wednesday afternoon:
Expect to see a mix of snow and sleet across the River Valley, where the heaviest accumulations will occur today. Patchy areas of snow/sleet will continue across NW AR, with only minor additional accumulation this afternoon. Temps will hover near or just above freezing.
Light Snow/Sleet and freezing rain will continue off and on throughout the night, changing over to all light freezing rain after midnight. In general only minor accumulations are expected thru about 5am, but, with temps falling below freezing across much of the viewing area it won't take much to cause roads to be extremely slick.
Thursday morning:
A heavy burst of rain and freezing rain will move thru Thursday morning. This is when things could get especially bad, especially along and east of the I-540 corridor. Ice accumulations could exceed .25" within this area of NWAR. The worst of the Icing is likely to occur from Ozark up to Huntsville and Jasper to Eureka Springs where temps will be the coldest. The Fort Smith/Van Buren area will experience a mix rain and freezing rain, given temps will be slightly warmer. Nonetheless, travel here is not recommended either. Travel Thrusday morning will be next to impossible across the Ozarks east of I-540. Travel will begin improving first Thursday morning after 9am across eastern OK. Travel will begin improving next in the River Valley after 11am, and travel should remain discouraged along I-540 from Fayetteville to the Missouri border through 3pm Thursday. Travel will be next to impossible across portions of Madison, Carroll, Boone, and Johnson counties through at least 3pm Thursday.

MONTREAL - Restaurant critics all share a certain secret fantasy. Could it be: winning the lottery? (unlikely); garnering a prestigious James Beard award? (eligible to Americans only); interviewing Thomas Keller (I have, and he wasn't that friendly); or dining with George Clooney? (I'm told Clooney prefers vodka to vino, so nyet).
No, the one big fantasy shared by all restaurant critics is stumbling upon that terrific little restaurant nobody talks about. Yessiree, uncovering the great unknown is the big prize in this game of ours, and this week, I have a doozy, Les Coudes sur la Table.
Now before I get all cocky thinking I discovered these people, I must admit that I'm not quite the first to review this restaurant in print media. Truth be told, I'm the fourth! Resto critics Gildas Meneu of Voir and Thierry Daraize of Le Journal de Montréal wrote it up it last November, both giving it a four-out-of-five-star review. It also made the top 100 cut in Jean-Philippe Tastet's Guide Mixeur restaurant guide. Okay, so maybe I'm one of the last reviewers to write it up, yet despite my tardiness, there's more buzz to be created because this restaurant's not just good, it's very good. Meneu, Daraize and Tastet got the ball rolling, and I'm happy to join the game and give it a swift kick back into the spotlight where it belongs.
Open last September, Les Coudes sur la Table is co-owned by Cédric Deslandes, Alexandre Jourdan and Serge Gauthier. Breton native Deslandes is the chef, Jourdan is the maître d', and together they have created a very special restaurant on the east end of Ste-Catherine St. The room is dark and romantic with a central bar, heavy drapes and framed photographs along the wall. The ambience is grown up and sophisticated without being stodgy. The greeting could not have been friendlier and despite our protests, our waitress tried her best to describe the menu in English. Nice.
Swish surroundings aside, there's no denying I was skeptical upon arrival. Truth is, I've seen a lot of restaurant come on the scene that look and feel a lot like this with menus that consist of the same old/same old carrot ginger soup, braised lamb shanks and pear tarte Tatin. Yawn.
But when the first dishes hit the table at Les Coudes sur la Table, without even tasting the food, I knew we were in for a treat. And then every bite confirmed it.
Deslandes's food impresses first and foremost due to his stellar technique. Technique's not a word that comes up half as often as it should when evaluating restaurants, yet it's what makes the difference between an amateur and professional, and, on the upper end, a good chef and a great one. Indications of a strong technique include precision in seasoning, meat and vegetable cuts, and cooking (as in, is the steak medium rare? is the beef braised until melting?), as well as other cheffy musts like deveining foie gras, removing the bloodline from fish, or even whipping up a balanced vinaigrette. The difference between a chef with a strong technique and one without would be like comparing a Bolshoi Ballet dancer to a twerking Miley Cyrus. Huge!
The appetizers well display Deslandes's talents. First up, foie gras cooked torchon-style. The foie was silky, perfectly seasoned, and paired simply with a fruit chutney and a chunk of brioche. Textbook. I'd also recommend the pig cheek confit. Served on a bed of braised red cabbage, the luscious hunk of meat was enhanced with dabs of Cortland apple jelly and braising juices. What a great dish for our never-ending winter.
Octopus is ubiquitous on Montreal menus; at Les Coudes, it's served with a chickpea mousseline, lemon and dill preserves and an arugula pesto. Talk about a great mix of Mediterranean flavours. Yet accompaniments aside, the key with octopus is that it's tender, and these "pieuvre" slices more than fulfilled that requirement.
The last starter I sampled may have been the best. Though I have rarely met a ravioli I didn't like, Deslandes's were fabulous, filled with a potent squash purée, mixed with King Eryngii mushrooms, and topped off with a sage cream with a crown of Parmesan shavings. Yum! Yes, it's a classic/predictable assembly, but each element was pitch perfect, resulting in a dish that comforted more than wowed.
Main courses also put in a strong showing. There's a fun mix of bitter flavours on the duck magret plate, starting with a purée of rutabaga and braised endives, and finishing with the sweet duck meat enhanced with a juniper and orange sauce. Gorgeous. I also adored the rabbit. Braised in white beer and served with a risotto made with pearl barley and bacon bits, the dish was finished off with Jerusalem artichokes, roasted and in chip form. Like octopus, rabbit can be tough. But here again the kitchen presented the meat at its melting best alongside all those earthy flavours and contrasting textures. Great.
I was a little less enthused about the fish of the day, Spanish mackerel, which was served with bok choy, mussel sauce and black risotto. My friends enjoyed it, but that black, white and khaki green fishy mix was too austere to my taste, though I'm sure your average mermaid would disagree.
I also didn't swoon as hard as the other critics over the bavette. Yes, it was tender, and, yes, the polenta served alongside was delicious, as was the mix of corn and Brussels sprouts. But there is just so much bavette on the restaurant scene right now that filet mignon is starting to feel edgy by contrast. At least Deslandes resisted the temptation to serve it with fries.
The food here is quite rich, so you may be tempted to skip dessert. But then you'd be missing the delectable nougat glacé filled with bits of cranberry, pistachios and orange, or the delicious date cake (think sticky toffee pudding) with a Bailey's parfait and salted caramel sauce. The chocolate and hazelnut cake is small, but packs a deep chocolatey punch. If I could choose only one sweet, it would be the graham cracker cake. Topped with a thick layer of dulce de leche, banana slices and a swirl of vanilla mascarpone cream, it's a dessert you could imagine little kids devouring at a tea party.
I myself kept pretty busy devouring most every morsel listed above, yet still took time to notice the excellent service. Jourdan's wine recommendations were sharp and dishes arrived like clockwork. I read one review stating that the only fault here was that the plates were cold. Well, I can guarantee that is no longer the case. Thumbs up also for the wine list, which is both well priced and offers a selection of primarily French wines, most of which were new to me.
Although it irks me somewhat that I was not the first to discover this establishment, it has yet to find a solid clientele. On the Thursday night I visited, few tables were occupied. Often packed at lunch I am told, the restaurant serves dinner only three nights a week. In a city with as many good restaurants, the choices are endless. But Les Coudes sur la Table should be on every food lover's "to try" list. And as fancy is the food is, the ambience is very relaxed. Indeed, it's an elbows-on-the-table kind of affair.

What God Hath Given
1. Today I stand and face my life.
So much I do not know.
But ev'ry where I go,
although I cannot see,
my Father walks with me;
he walks with me if I will listen.
I will listen;
I want to listen to him.
2. (He) is my God, and I believe
that I can conquer fear.
His promises are here
for me to lean upon.
I know I can't go wrong.
I can't go wrong if I will listen.
I will listen,
believe and listen to him.
Unhappiness, uncertainty
they crowd around my feet,
but they cannot defeat the things I want to be.
I hear his words to me.
My Father does not give to me
the spirit that is fear.
He draws me ever near
that I may feel his love,
grow strong, and rise above—
that in my darkest hour
my life will know the spirit of his pow'r.

Issues to Watch at the Doha Climate Negotiations (COP 18)by -
As the U.N. climate change conference in Doha, Qatar (COP 18) rapidly approaches, the urgency of climate action has never been more evident. Extreme weather has wreaked havoc in many corners of the globe, most recently with Hurricane Sandy, which resulted in loss of life and severe economic hardship in all the countries in its pathway. Many countries—from the United States to those with far less capacity to respond—are still trying to comprehend what happened and how much it will cost to get back to normal.
They also understand that this just may be, to quote New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, "the new normal." The World Bank Group has just released a shocking report of what a world that is 4 degrees Celsius warmer would look like. We must hope that when delegates arrive in Doha, they grasp the urgency of this issue, recognize the immediate and far-reaching threat to human security, and summon the necessary political will to craft an ambitious and equitable global response.
What Can We Expect This Year as Countries Meet for COP 18?
Last year's meeting in Durban, South Africa was a potentially important turning point, launching a new round of negotiations to create a legally binding international agreement by 2015 to limit global average temperature increase to 2 degrees C above pre-industrial levels. However, after three consecutive years of rather "big moment" COPs, Doha is more about giving operational momentum to the decisions reached in Durban. COP 18 will likely confirm the design of a second commitment period for the Kyoto Protocol, bring some long-standing work streams to a successful close, and set the parameters for the negotiations leading to a new international climate agreement in 2015.
What Is Being Discussed and Finalized This Year?
- Ambition: How much more ambition will countries be able to muster? The Durban Platform created a "pre-2020" work plan to raise the level of ambition, noting the existing gap between what emissions reductions have been pledged and what's actually required to meet the 2-degree target. Beyond countries committing to increase the ambition level in their current pledges, this could include new pledges from countries that have yet to commit, such as the host country and others in the region; an agreement for strong rules on accounting and the carbon market to avoid double-counting; and groups of countries committing to go further faster.
- Climate finance: Always a priority for developing countries, there are three key elements to finance: First, ensuring the new Green Climate Fund (GCF) is ready for action and can begin implementation. Second, with fast-start finance ending in 2012 (see WRI's assessment of these pledges) developing countries are asking what comes next, particularly how developed countries are going to meet the $100 billion goal they committed to at COP 15 in Copenhagen. Watch out both for pledges for the medium-term and a work plan for long-term finance that includes some innovative mechanisms to scale up. Finally, countries need to agree on how to make climate finance more transparent and how to track the finance that countries have pledged.
- Transparency and accountability: In order for countries to know whether they are effectively reducing emissions, so-called transparency and accountability rules are imperative. A core part of the negotiations since 2009, COP 18 has to finalize the details on items such as the biennial review; what domestic measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems might do; and common reporting/accounting standards. This debate plays out in two places: First is in the Kyoto Protocol, which is up for a second commitment period and includes strong accounting standards. With Australia's recent announcement that it, too, will place its 2020 target in the Protocol, Kyoto's institutions become ever more important. Second is in finalization of the Cancun Agreements where, for example, countries need to agree on the details of transparency provisions around developed country biennial reports and how the international consultation and analysis for developing countries is going to function.
- Carbon markets: The issue of carbon markets will also be in play in Doha, but rather than wrapping something up, it is more about beginning something new. Currently the carbon market has a bit of a "wild west" feel to it. While it is positive that countries around the world such as Australia and South Korea are starting domestic carbon trading schemes, it remains unclear whether those schemes could link with each other. Will there be common rules for offsets? An international transaction log to keep track of trades and avoid double or triple accounting? While much of this will be discussed in the new market mechanisms group, it is likely that many side events and conversations will circle around this question.
- Forests / REDD+: Negotiations around Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) will continue, with a focus on a "results-based" vision and funding to back it up. Negotiators recognize that reducing such emissions requires keeping the bigger picture (i.e. poverty, adaptation, biodiversity) in mind, and are trying to figure out the best way to capture this holistic view without creating an impossible system. In addition, given that selling emissions reductions as offsets is not likely to be a primary source of finance in the near future, the negotiators are discussing whether there may be other types of finance that are effective for determining performance, but have lower transaction costs.
- Adaptation: The issue of adaptation remains central for the most vulnerable countries in the negotiations. A number of key issues need to be finalized, including National Adaptation Plans, which should outline mid- and long-term plans that promote good governance as a foundation for adaptation and integrate adaptation into key sectors.
The Plan for the 2015 Agreement
However, we all know that current actions are not adequate, and the world needs a game plan with clarity of how countries are going to join together and tackle the climate change problem. Therefore, in addition to finalizing the rules noted above, two of the major issues of this COP will be both how countries will negotiate the 2015 Agreement (i.e., the work plan for the coming years) and what will be in that Agreement.
Of particular importance is how the U.S. team approaches Doha. After a win in the election, one would hope that the Obama team comes refreshed with a new strategy, stating that it is indeed committed to keeping global average temperature increase below 2 degrees, outlining how the administration will use its executive authority to meet and beat its 17 percent emissions-reductions target, and making it clear that it will adopt an economy-wide target in the post-2020 agreement. All eyes will also be on China and its new leadership, observing whether it will move the country faster and further toward a low-carbon economy. Strong statements to that effect would encourage many countries and increase the probability of success. And last but not least is the "Durban Alliance" of the European Union, the Least Developed Countries, and the Alliance of Small Island States. Let's hope they can stick together despite some differences to ensure the new agreement delivers what it needs to for the planet.
One issue will be discussed across the entire COP 18 spectrum, and that is equity. The principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities (CBDR-RC) has been a fundamental element of the Convention from the beginning. A successful agreement in 2015 will need to preserve the underlying notion that those with the capacity to take bold climate action should go further faster, while acknowledging the need for all countries to address what is the most pressing global problem of our time. Negotiators in Doha will need to think creatively about a work plan that will progressively operationalize equity and CBDR-RC in a manner that can secure buy-in across all Parties. This is a difficult but necessary task.
With climate change's impacts already being felt through wildfires, drought, sea level rise, and other recent extreme weather events, the stakes for action have never been higher. Hopefully Doha can set the world on track for success so that worst effects of climate change—and the costs to so many—can be avoided.

Yesterday we succesfully bid at auction on a pair of of pistols dating from the late seventeenth century and with a provenance from Dunster Castle, Somerset. They were coming up in the Bonhams arms and armour sale at their Knightsbridge auction rooms in London.
The sale was well attended, with some strong prices, and we had to bid quite a bit above the top estimate in order to secure the pistols at £24,000 hammer price.
We are very grateful to the V&A Purchase Grant Fund for offering a grant towards this acquisition, and to our firearms adviser Brian Godwin for assessing the importance of the pistols.
The pistols had been sold from Dunster in the early 1970s (before the National Trust acquired the castle), but up till that time they had been there continuously since the 1680s.
In 1688 Francis Luttrell, a local squire and owner of Dunster, joined the Glorious Revolution when William of Orange landed at Torbay. Luttrell managed to raise a regiment in a mere three days, partly due to his local connections, but also because there was a well-stocked armoury at Dunster, which this pair of pistols was probably part of.
Apart from playing a minor role in this momentous event in British history, Francis Luttrell also repaired and refurbished Dunster Castle, which had been damaged and neglected during the Civil War.
His heiress wife Mary Tregonwell provided the funds for some very fine plasterwork ceilings and a beautifully carved staircase. The carving on the latter is probably by the sculptor Edward Pearce the younger. Interestingly, the staircase was originally painted grey.
We hope soon to be able to display the pistols at Dunster, to enhance the story of this ancient castle at the time of the Glorious Revolution.

Google Forced to Bend User Privacy!
A U.S. district judge has ordered Google, the Search Engine, to release information about users that use their YouTube service. The major entertainment corporation Viacom won the legal battle against Google, resulting in access for Viacom to information about YouTube users and their "tubing" behavior, i.e. which videos they watch on the YouTube site. The verdict will also give Viacom access to the login-names and IP-addresses of the YouTube users, even though Viacom says that they will not use the information to frame individuals. Viacom may instead use the information in a potential billion dollar copyright lawsuit against Google. Google, the owners of YouTube, defend themselves by stating that they are not liable for the video snippets uploaded by their users, and that there is a U.S. law from 1998 backing them up on that fact. Google does not, however, see the verdict as a total defeat, as Viacom had also demanded access to their YouTube search source code. As if this was not enough, Viacom also requested total access to all YouTube video snippets that are stored by the users in their private locations at YouTube. This request was denied by the judge. According to the judge, it will still be relatively "difficult" for Viacom to identify individuals using only their login names and IP addresses. The Verdict could be regarded as a severe setback when it comes to user privacy, but sadly it's becoming reality, sprung from the Land Of The Free. Happy Independence Day!

Do you have an Xbox One and would like to expand the total storage capacity for whatever reason, by adding external storage? Well, start counting down the days. In a blog post on Xbox Wire on May 21, Larry Hyrb (known more popularly as Major Nelson) announced that external storage feature is coming to Xbox One in the upcoming "June update".
This is one of the few other features coming to Xbox One in this update. Others include:
Real names to identify friends: Until now, friends list and followers list only included gamertags. With the increased friend limits, it becomes hard to correlated gamertags with real names of friends. The real name won't show up in games, and in terms of sharing, there will be full control on whether something is shared among friends, a subset of friends, friends of friends or nobody at all.
SmartGlass with full OneGuide and Universal Remote: The SmartGlass app for Xbox One will now have the entire OneGuide and Universal Remote experience. Per the post:
We've made a ton of changes to your SmartGlass app for Xbox One. After getting great feedback from our SmartGlass beta, we're thrilled to be bringing the entire OneGuide experience and Universal Remote Control to SmartGlass. Now in supported markets you can view all of your TV listings on your SmartGlass device and set and view your favorite channels and app channels on your smart phone, tablet or PC. With the Universal Remote Control, you can also easily switch channels, set new recordings and select and control recorded content from your DVR. Another great companion feature now in SmartGlass is pin reordering. With the touch of your finger you can easily organize your pins in categories or favorites based on your preferences and have those changes refresh to your console.
Other improvements to SmartGlass will help you stay current on what you and your friends are up to, even when you're away from your console. We're bringing hero stats and activity feed front and center, and adding more ways for you to compare achievements via SmartGlass whether you're on a friend's profile or viewing a game from the activity feed. Just like on the console, you can choose to get notifications on your smart phone, PC or tablet when a favorite friend signs into their console or starts broadcasting a game. For many devices, you can even choose to start watching the broadcast wherever you are.
Expanded TV and OneGuide support: TV and OneGuide will now be available to all in Canada, UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy.
Xbox LIVE Gold updates: As reported earlier, the updated Xbox LIVE Gold features will be finally made available in this update.
Here's Major Nelson providing these updates in a video:

Police: 4 women fatally shot at Tulsa apartment
Four young women were found shot to death in the same apartment in a rugged part of south Tulsa on Monday, apparent victims of a midday shooting spree at a building near a park along the Arkansas River. A 4-year-old boy was found unharmed.
Police wouldn't say whether the victims - all in their late teens or early 20s - were related or how they would have known each other, and wouldn't say whether the boy was related to any of them. Police said they did not yet know not yet know why the women were shot, and officers were searching for whoever committed the crime.
"Right now, we have no clear-cut suspect we're looking at at this point," said police spokesman Leland Ashley. "I don't want to strike fear in the community tonight, but we do have an individual or individuals who murdered four people. Do we know if there was a motive, like a jealous lover? We don't know that. We can't say if it was random or if someone knew (the victims)."
Ashley said detectives and officers were "beating the bushes" to figure out what happened.
The neighborhood around the Fairmont Terrace Apartments is a seedy oasis in the rest of south Tulsa. The Southern Hills Country Club is a mile east and Oral Roberts University is two miles southeast.
At the apartment complex, bed sheets or cardboard hang as improvised draperies in many windows behind a black wrought-iron gate. The guard shack is empty and signs read "Curfew 10 p.m. for everyone, everyday" and "Photo ID required to be on property."
The building's website says a courtesy safety patrol is available after dark, but police believe the killings occurred between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Officer Jill Roberson said police received a 911 call about 12:30 p.m., and Ashley said someone had spoken to someone at the apartment less than an hour earlier.
Frankie Williams, 25, an oil field worker, said his girlfriend lives about 100 feet from the apartment where the women were found dead.
"She's going to be moving out right quick. This is not the place to be raising a 3-month-old," he said. "This is pretty intense."
Sennie Anderson, 20, is soon to mark two years at the apartment complex.
"I've been afraid since I moved in this place," she said, clutching her visibly upset 3-year-old daughter, Da'Mya. "I think it's getting worse."
Ashley said police were hopeful someone in the community would come forward with more information about the shootings.
"We still have a lot of questions that need to be answered at this point. ... Our concern is for the small child, possibly having to witness this horrific tragedy," Ashley said.

The head of the Communion and Liberation Movement, Father Julián Carrón wrote an editorial for tomorrow's (July 14, 2011) edition of the L'Osservatore Romano about the forthcoming Day of Prayer in Assisi on October 27, recognizing the theme of peace and justice.
The Day for
Reflection, Dialogue and Prayer for Peace and Justice in the World, convoked in
Assisi next October 27 by Benedict XVI is an audacious gesture, just as Blessed
John Paul II's initiative was, 25 years ago.
"In the name of what can (Pope
Wojtyla) call exponents of all religions together to pray in Assisi?" asked Don
Luigi Giussani twenty-five years ago. He answered, "If one understands the
nature of man, the heart of man, it is his religious sense, it is in the
religious sense that all men find equality and identity. The most profound
meaning in the human heart is religious sentiment, destiny on the one hand and
the usefulness of the present on the other. If we want to use the right terms,
a sense of religion is the only sense which is truly catholic, which means
suitable for everyone and belonging to everyone."

This MPI event discussed the Dutch model for fighting human trafficking and the strategic and operational dilemmas that public prosecutors in the Netherlands face.
This report discusses the political debate surrounding national identity in the Netherlands against the backdrop of growing public anxiety about immigrants and their effect on local communities. While policies designed to mitigate these fears largely stress national identity and demand cultural assimilation, the report provides an alternative set of recommendations based on the notion of plural identification.
Finding some of the deepest anti-Muslim sentiments in Europe within German public opinion, this report explores the relationship between German national identity and immigration. It provides an overview of demographics, trends, and current debates, with recommendation on how to challenge prevailing stereotypes of Muslims and ensure equal outcomes for immigrants and their descendants.
This report examines why Spain, one of the countries hit hardest by the economic crisis with some of Europe's highest levels of unemployment, has not seen a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment. The report describes how the government and general populace have responded to immigration before and after the onset of the economic crisis, and highlights possible reasons for Spain's exceptional openness.
The integration of mobile EU citizens as a specific target group has not been widely discussed, either at EU or national levels, and EU-level integration policies focus on the integration of legally residing third-country nationals. This report investigates the broad range of integration needs that exist in Europe.
This report assesses the connection between the recent rise of resentment against immigration and broader trends in Norwegian nationalism, and proposes a few policy recommendations with the aim of minimizing this rift in Norwegian society.
While free movement is at the heart of the European project, the merits and impacts of intra-EU mobility have come under significant scrutiny recently amid public anxiety about competition for jobs and exploitation of welfare systems. This report provides a detailed assessment of free movement, motivations for migration, and challenges countries may need to address as intra-EU mobility enters its next phase.
As the European Commission looks ahead to the next strategic program for immigration in 2014, this policy brief sketches the challenges in developing a strategic, long-term agenda on migration at a time when Europe remains beset by fiscal uncertainty and a jobs crisis that is particularly acute for the young. Against such a backdrop, few governments are willing to have a serious conversation about anything but skilled immigration.

Cotton Candy
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Girls
This homemade costume for girls entered our 2011 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Tesha, the 'Cotton Candy' costume creator:
Cecilia age 2 as Cotton Candy
She wanted to be her favorite sweet treat!
We used a shower curtain for the bag ($5) and cut out holes for her arms and legs.
For the cotton candy we purchased a few yards of pink felt ($2.50/yd) and used a stiff wire brush to fluff it into realistic looking candy. It really looked good enough to eat! We cinched it around her neck with elastic and ribbon.
For the hat we used a Styrofoam cone that we found in the floral department and covered it in white paper. I used spray adhesive to put the paper on it and it worked really well. It was kept on her head by elastic. I used a hot knife and stuck it though the cone to melt a hole for the elastic to be threaded through. This seemed like the sturdiest way of putting the elastic on the cone.
She was so proud of her costume! It was cute and the fluff kept her warm. Thank you.

Martyr Marcian and Martyrius the Notaries, of Constantinople
The Martyrs Marcian and Martyrius, Notaries of Constantinople served in a Constantinople cathedral. Marcian was a reader and Martyrius a subdeacon. They both performed in the capacity of notaries, i.e. secretaries, for Patriarch Paul the Confessor (November 6).
Arian heretics expelled and secretly executed the righteous Patriarch Paul. His throne was given to the heretic Macedonius. The heretics attempted to entice Saints Marcian and Martyrius over to their side by flattery. They offered them gold and promised to consecrate them as archbishops, but all the efforts of the Arians were in vain.
Then the impious threatened to slander them before the emperor, and sought to intimidate them with torture and death. But the saints steadfastly confessed Orthodoxy, as handed down by the Fathers of the Church. Marcian and Martyrius were sentenced to death. Before death, the martyrs prayed, "Lord God, Who has invisibly created our hearts, and directed all our deeds, accept with peace the souls of Your servants, since we perish for You and are considered as sheep for the slaughter (Ps 32/33:15; 43/44:22). We rejoice that by such a death we shall depart this life for Your Name. Grant us to be partakers of life eternal with You, the Source of life." After their prayer the martyrs, with quiet rejoicing, bent their necks beneath the sword of the impious (+ ca. 335).
Their holy bodies were reverently buried by Orthodox Christians. Later, by decree of Saint John Chrysostom, the relics of the holy martyrs were transferred to a church built in their honor. Believers here were healed of many infirmities through the prayers of the saints, to the glory of the One Life-Creating Trinity.

DURHAM — To address an immediate need, the University of New Hampshire football team shopped locally.
DURHAM — To address an immediate need, the University of New Hampshire football team shopped locally.
Three homegrown linemen signed national letters of intent Wednesday to play for the Wildcats.
Portsmouth's Rick Holt, Bedford's Will McInerny and Amherst's Jake Kennedy are members of the latest recruiting class that also includes three linebackers, three defensive backs and two wide receivers.
"The biggest thing I always look for," said coach Sean McDonnell, "is guys that fit what we do and how we do it. I thought our staff did a great job identifying these guys."
Linemen typically redshirt a year at UNH to get bigger and stronger, although initially size doesn't appear to be much of an issue.
Holt, who has been on UNH's radar for three years, is the smallest of the trio at 6-foot-3 and 265 pounds.
"He's gotten better every year," McDonnell said. "I think there's a really big upside for the kid. He's a really good athlete, just raw."
McInerny is the biggest at 6-7, 290. Kennedy stands 6-3 and weighs 285.
While Holt helped Portsmouth High School capture the 2012 Division III title, Kennedy had 57 pancake blocks as a senior for Souhegan.
"I thought he had a very good year," McDonnell said of Kennedy. "He's a big, strong, athletic kid with great feet. He has really good balance and stays on blocks."
McInerny missed his senior year because of surgery on both knees, but had 21 pancakes as a junior blocking for current Wildcat Jordan Garron.
McDonnell said there are no concerns about McInerny's injuries going forward.
"He's a very powerful, explosive kid," he said. "I think he has a huge upside."
Kennedy and McInerny are projected as offensive linemen while Holt will likely play defense.
The Wildcats graduated starters Chris Zarkoskie and Mickey DiLima from the O-line and defensive tackle Jared Smith.
"We have three kids with really good size from the state of New Hampshire, something we haven't had in a long time," McDonnell said.
Prospects at linebacker include Michael Boryeskne of Sparta, N.J., Odaine Franklyn of White Plains, N.Y., and Riley Pritchett of Berwyn, Pa.
The 6-2, 230-pound Franklyn attended prep school at Proctor Academy in Andover. UNH graduated linebackers Matt Evans and Alan Buzbee and defensive end Randi Vines.
"We had to fill the defensive end/linebacker position," McDonnell said, "and we got three kids I think can play either position."
Boryeskne ranked third in the state of New Jersey last season with 14 sacks. Pritchett had seven sacks, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. Franklyn is a viewed as a solid run-stopper.
"Whoever runs and can cover the best is probably going to be a linebacker for us," McDonnell said. "Whoever can put their hand on the ground and take on blocks and get off the ball is probably going to be a defensive end. They give us some flexibility."
The Wildcats added three versatile athletes to the secondary in Patrick Mensah of New City, N.Y., Geno Miller of Alexandria, Va., and Antonio Natale of Bridgewater, N.J.
Primarily a basketball player, Mensah landed a football scholarship after playing the sport in high school for only one year when he was in on 73 tackles.
"He didn't look out of place on tape," McDonnell said. "He's got good ball skills. The other thing is he tackles pretty well. It wasn't like he was just a pure athlete out there playing. The kid's got football instincts."
Miller had 15 pass breakups and four interceptions as a senior and Natale passed and ran for more than 2,400 yards and 30 touchdowns as a quarterback in a spread offense.
He also had 49 tackles and two interceptions at safety. A physical player, the 5-11, 190-pound Miller could also end up at safety.
"Antonio Natale is a terrific athlete," McDonnell said. "He's a kid that will probably start on the offensive side of the ball, but I wouldn't be surprised if he landed on the defensive side of the ball eventually."
Max Avin of Coral Springs, Fla., and Aaron Lewis-Cenales of Odenton. Md., are candidates at wide receiver.
Twelve of Avin's 25 receptions last season went for touchdowns. He also returns kicks.
Lewis-Cenales, who is from the same high school as current UNH receiver R.J. Harris, averaged 13.4 yards per catch with 15 touchdowns.
"The thing I like about both those guys in their offenses in high school is that they caught the ball and done things in systems similar to ours," McDonnell said.
Although it's possible the Wildcats could sign another recruit or two, McDonnell said, "We're as done as we've ever been at this time of year with the scholarship situation."

All-Star Tuesday
It's been a nice 24 hours since the last post, as the Home Run Derby seemed to keep the masses entertained here and then a bunch of us headed over to the All-Star gala nearby. I've run into several former Dodgers over the last few days, including Eric Karros, who is working for FOX and Candy Maldonado, who is part of ESPN Deportes' crew here. There's never a shortage of ex-Dodgers around and here in San Francisco, everyone gets booed every time they step into public.
During BP yesterday, Russell got booed mercilessly, which he loved. He also had to hit right after Barry Bonds, which is a pretty tough act to follow. Then this morning, we helped set up the parade down Embarcadero with the players, as Saito and his wife and two daughters were in the same vehicle as Russ. According to Russ, they got booed the entire way down the street, which made me laugh.
Brad Penny was with his parents, brother and his girlfriend and said he got the same "royal" treatment here in San Francisco.
By the time we all got here for batting practice, the gates were open and fans were filling in. Eventually the NL took a team photo and it was cool seeing Saito and Barry Bonds interact despite the language barrier. I think Penny served as the interpreter, but his Japanese is about as good as Barry's. Saito and Barry even hugged in front of the hostile crowd, which I'm sure got them all riled up.
Overall, it's a hectic 72 hours for these guys, but I have a feeling that for first-timers like Russ and Saito, they're really enjoying the experience. And for Penny, who was here last year, he can actually step back a little and enjoy it rather than the sensory overload that comes with the first time at an event like this.
The game starts in about an hour and a half and my spot is in the auxiliary press box. Brad told me he's going to pitch the second inning and only go one, so I guess he and Peavy will start out for an inning apiece and then hand it over to the other guys. Hopefully Sammy gets in te game late, though I'd imagine if the NL has a small, it'll be that guy down the freeway with 500 saves who gets the ball.

Sounds like a great time Josh, enjoy every minute. Lets hope Bonds strikes out and either Russell, Penny or Saito makes those Giant Fans eat crow tonight by becoming the MVP with a NL WIN !!
Go Dodgers !!
Its nice to know that is pretty much the only game the Giants fans have to look forward to for the rest of the year….
It's great to read what ex-Dodgers like Karros & Maldonado are doing. I'm looking at Allys Milano on TV at the moment. When the Giant fans boo our guys it's a sign of respect. They hate us, We hate them and so the story goes. Fear & Respect. Well it's time to watch the game LET GO NL.
haha at Penny holding his hat way high while getting booed hahaha.
Must be sad to only have 1 person to Cheer for at a Home Game….I Think I hate SF Fans more then I hate their team and atleast as much as I hate the Padre's……
seeing our Penny, Martin and Saito in their uniforms representing Dodger Blue makes me so proud!!
Question: who has the better fro, dimitri young or russel? 🙂
That was a great tribute to a great player, Willie Mays. I always say I root against the team but not the players.
haha russell's hair is awesome
I thought it was a boring tribute to Mays to be honest. I remember when they did that to Ted Williams back in the 1999 all-star game in fenway park, everyone seemed to enjoy it. Not today.
Nice Bang Bang DP!
Loney for 08′ 1B AS!
Com'on PENNY look good.
Great 1-2-3 inning for OUR BOY.
I'm suprised MARTIN didn't go to right with a man on first. I like the fact that Joe Buck gave a good run down on his stats. Nice solid shot, too bad almost right at A-ROD.
Wasn't Reyes hit weird. The way Bonds flyed out with the flick of the wrists. Whenever you get that man you got feel lucky.
Big Tag OUT! GO MARTIN!!!
Nice pick by Russ on that Griffey throw.
Proud of that pickup and tag by MARTIN at home on the throw by Griffey jr. What I meant before was, Ya gotta feel lucky when you get Bonds out, Get passed him.
martin is making us proud…big surprise
oh yeah, i heart martin haha
A Rod was runnin like a girl….no offence Zobiecakes or Graff.
C'mon Russ Big Knock!
Russ is getting some Great intel on SD pitching tonight.
I wish they would stop talking about steroids and performance enhancing drugs. Who wants to here it? Guys like Bonds are great hitters why they are? I personally don't care. What a guy does outside the lines is his own business.
Buck and McCarver are both jokes!
The Sky is Blue….
and of course a madre had to ruin the game. Just like last year
Suzuki's inside the park HR. Can you imagine something like that from PIERRE? I wonder if he has that much power.
Let's Go NL!!!
PENNY chatting away with Peavy. That's what I always loved about these games. One night everybody's your buddy. Com'on ya gotta win. It might mean something in October or November for one of youse.
Juan Pierre has no where near the power Ichiro does. Ichiro could have won the home run derby. Have you ever seen him hit BP?
Joe Blanton should have beaten his tail!
looks like we will be on the road for game 1 of the world series!
We're down again and it's getting late, but I think it won't happen again. The NL has to have a big inning. there got to be an AL pitcher with an off night.
i think Saito is coming in next inning.
Man Russell just missed tying up the game, instead he popped it up.
That was more like MARTIN too bad it was foul. That cop felt it didn't he?
Nope never seen Ichiro hit in BP. But I know he can hit. I'm not familiar with his Power.
Somebody must have corrected Buck, He was pronouncing SAITO (SIGH EEE TOE) before the game now it's (SAIGH TOE) another GREAT innning for our guys. (the Dodger pitchers)
The Mets Reyes, Wright & Beltran are having a good night making my daughter proud. I'll be hearing from her later. I'll tell her of the importance of the play at the plate, if we win.
Wagner blows
That HR by Victor Martinez off Billy Wagner will slow down the bragging by the Met fans. This game looks almost like last year's now.
Aaron Rowand might look like CEY when he bats but I bet he doesn't look like the Penquin when he runs. Nobody looked like the Penquin when he ran except a Penquin. Is this game over already??? NO IT'S NOT.
Bruce Freming got more hits than the NL.(I'm not sure of the spelling of his name) but he's been around a long time.
JJ walks JJ and the Putz is gone. This game is having a lively finish.
Franky looks LOST!!! HAHAHAHA
The entire NL is as Pathetic as The Dodgers with Risp……and fold to the Angels…
the bases are loaded two outs in the bottom of the 9th and the best player in baseball is left on the bench. Pathetic.
yep, pujols should have gotten an AB…..damm grady!!! 😉
Looked like K-ROD almost became W-rod until he gave up on that big wicket curve. So I guess it was CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR. Looks like quite a losing streak for the N.L. but remember it didn't effect the Cards last year.
apparently Puljos left the stadium early.
i just realized that penny and saito were the only two NL pitchers not to give up a hit in their innings of work.. IMPRESSIVE.. way to represent boys~
now the report is that Pujols was in the locker room in street clothes when the 9th inning started.
That was a great game everybody did well and had a lot of fun and the fun is proberbly still going on. Our guys did a good job pitching MARTIN'S scope at the plate on Junior's throw really got me. I know we get to see him play everynight but tonight he had a bigger audience. That's where the pride comes in. PENNY & SAITO both look sharp. I'll never forget the All-Star night when GAGNE blew it. It was during his big streak, and it didn't interupt the streak because this is an exebition game, but it felt humiliating. Well it's back to the feast for me for the next 6 days. I always manage to catch enough of the game since the games start at 10:10PM & 10:40PM on friday.
I could've swore I saw Pujols in uniform in the bottom of the ninth…anyway good game, Penny and Saito were excellent. Penny didn't over throw and they combined for 16 pitches. Martin just missed a clutch double before popping out, but had a sweet pick of Griffey's throw which of course ESPN doesn't care about, just the throw from Griffey. Also, we're #1 in the N.L with RISP, it's bases loaded we're awful. Back to business…Sweep the Giants! Bills, Penny and Lowe lets get it done!
Boy I feel like a chatterbox what would you call this a Typybox? But it's great to see all those guys in the same game. I can never watch that MLBTV MOSAIC even the sound stinks. That is___ How can someone watch 5 games and the Baseball channel at the same time?
Excuse me 20 pitches 13 from Saito and only 7 from Penny.
I think if the game went into extra innings that would have gotten Pujols out of his street clothes(as someone said) and get him back in the game. Wow that would have been something. Ya know losing itself doesn't hurt at all, ONLY WHEN THE DODGERS LOSE IT HURTS.
I think it feels ok because 3 playoff hunting team: the Padres (Chris Young), the Brewers (Francisco Cordero) and the Mets (Billy Wagner) gave up all 5 of the runs. The other team hunting for the postseason (Dodgers) went two scoreless innings!
So all in all we did good and as far as I'm concerned that's all that mattered. The Padres, the The Brewers and Mets lost the game and not the rest of us?_____SO WE WON….I always say when there is no game__catch up on some sleep…
fyi..just read an article on realgm that said pujols was made at La Russa for leaving him on the bench…
I'd be mad too, Some guys got multi ABs. How the heck did he forget one of his own players? That La Russa is hanging out with that Vic Damone too much.
Before I go I'd like to mention something. In the last series against the Marlins the coaching staff was wearing jackets that only had the LA symble on it. Not DODGERS. I don't think that's right since those were home games. You can show everybody you're from LA when you're on the road. BUT AT HOME YOU'RE THE DODGERS. GOOD NIGHT FROM BROOKLYN.
what the **** was Tony LaRussa thinking!? "these games count!!" man!.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The New York attorney general has no authority to claim $150 million in fees that Ernst & Young earned from Lehman Brothers Holdings in the years leading up to Lehman's collapse in 2008, a judge ruled on Wednesday.
The state had sought the fees as part of a lawsuit against Ernst & Young over its auditing of Lehman Brothers. The lawsuit accuses the firm of assisting Lehman in accounting fraud.
New York State Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Oing said the fees could not be recovered by the state because they were not paid by consumers or the state. "The allegations in this complaint fail to set forth sufficiently as to exactly what the public's injury is," Oing said.
James Freedland, a spokesman for New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, declined to comment on the ruling.
Amy Call Well, a spokeswoman for Ernst & Young, said the firm was pleased with the decision.
The lawsuit, filed in 2010, claimed that for more than seven years leading up to Lehman's 2008 bankruptcy, Ernst & Young made use of transactions known as "Repo 105s," which removed tens of billions of dollars from the bank's balance sheets, misleading investors and others about the bank's financial condition.
Ernst & Young has said it acted properly and that Lehman's accounting complied with national standards.
In court, David Ellenhorn, senior trial counsel to the state attorney general, argued the judge wasn't viewing the relief correctly. "Disgorgement is a remedy to prevent the wrongdoer from obtaining ill-gotten gains," he said.
But Oing disagreed. "The disgorgement remedy is not available," he said.
As part of the case, the New York attorney general can still pursue claims for investor damages and restitution against Ernst & Young, if it is successful in proving fraud by the auditor.
However, Ellenhorn said before the ruling that stripping away the state's ability to recover the fees could eventually hamper the case. If related investor lawsuits are successful, the state would not be able to recover the same damages, he told the judge.
Lehman filed for bankruptcy protection on September 15, 2008, in the midst of the financial crisis.
The case is People of the State of New York v. Ernst & Young, New York State Supreme Court, New York County, No. 451586/2010.

The Toucan Gift Box
Say hello the perfect gift for the dapper gentleman in your life.
This box contains three pairs of delectable new socks - The Mac, The Toucan and The Pretzel - complete with styling notes for each pair.
What's more, he'll also have the option to refill the box with any of his old, unwanted socks - and let's face it, he's got a few - and return them for free to The London Sock Exchange to be recycled.
Each and every sock we make is crafted for comfort and style.
We weave our socks with 200 needles, the highest gauge used on socks. Due to the density of this weave, our socks are not only finer but also stronger than your average pair.
What's more, unlike a lot of socks produced for the high-street, we don't cut corners when finishing our socks. That's why we handlink the toe to each and every sock we make. This affords a perfect, seamless finish to the bottom end of the sock, for maximum comfort.
And finally, our socks are all finished with a honeycomb welt, to give a more comfortable, flexible fit around the calf.
These socks come in size 7-12 (UK) / 41-47 (EU)
