I wrote the original post for this building and I would like to add that now there have not been any bed bugs since 2013. It took a while but eventually management stepped up and ensured that the problem was eliminated.
frustrated on 02/07/2013
I would like to confirm all that was written and add to what the other bedbug report's have documented, "bedbugs are being found in this building in multiple suits ( including 3rd and 2nd floors) beginning September 2012†and currently (February, 5rd 2012) due to incompetence by the building owner, bed bugs are still being found coming from the same suite originally reported.
Management has verbally downplayed the situation to tenants and told tenants not to tell neighbors. After
the first few months notice was given to tenants on floors effected, but info was downplayed!
Minimal effort has been made by the building owner; however, the fact is the bedbugs are still here. I now question if the bed bugs will be properly be dealt with, and what kind of response should be expected if other problems arise with the building.
Henry Schroeder (building owner) had the opportunity to get the recommended heat-treatment for the first suit which reported the bedbugs in September. Instead he choose a delayed response, and then choose a cheaper method and cheaper company, BC Bug. Heat-treatment was finally done January 28th, 2013 by BC Bug after pressure from multiple tenants. As reported above, bed bugs are still coming from the heat-treated suit. They have been caught on double sided tape put down by the tenants, not by management or BC Bug.
There are more things I would call ridiculous, that I would like go into detail about, but the simple point of this report is to give others insight into the extremely frustrating response the owner of this building has taken. Before the Bed bug issue I would have recommended this building.

There are currently four suites on the top floor that have bed bugs. The suite where it originated has had them since September and other suites became affected in November and December. It has now moved throughout the building and they are also in a suite a floor down.
The situation could have been mostly avoided if it was taken care right away as they appeared in the first suite. They are finally paying for heat treatment that is quite expensive in that apartment as it seems to be worse the
One of the tenants on the top floor has had allergic reactions to her bed bug bites and they are all over her body. The building manager is nice, although not that concerned or prompt in dealing with these issues, and the owner of the building doesn't seem to be phased at all.
The tenants dealing with the problem are going to submit their receipts in hope of receiving money back for the things they had to purchase or get rid of in this situation.
These problems only became seriously addressed when about half of the building took serious action. The landlords never notified people in other suites, but luckily now everyone is communication with one another.
It's a shame because this building has been around for quite a long time and had never been affected before. They have been spraying other suites although it's not technically fumigation and hasn't been successful. Some of those suites have been sprayed four times and the bugs keep returning.

Started getting bites on November 21st, thought the building was clean so I didn't say anything.
By December 3rd I had lots of bites so I called my building manager and said I had suspicious bites and asked if any other tennants had the same problem, and he told me "Oh you probably have bed bugs, I thought the problem was contained."
2 Other suites had them and had been fumigated, and they didn't tell the other 4 units on the floor that there were bedbugs. As far as I know only the top flo
or has them.
I asked to be fumigated and it was done 5 days later. It's been 5 days since they sprayed now and I haven't been bit any of those nights. Getting fumigated again in 10 days. They fumigated the whole floor yesterday. It seems to be under control now, but still thought I'd post this.

Doctors have known for a long time that prostate cancer "runs in the family". Men with relatives who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer have an elevated risk of also developing this type of cancer.
The exact DNA variants that contribute to prostate cancer risk have now been published by an international research consortium, a collaboration of 48 institutes worldwide, with participation of scientists from the German Cancer Research Center.
Such DNA variants are scientifically called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). They are defined as a single variation of a nucleotide which occurs with varying frequency in the whole population. If a relationship in numbers is found between a particular SNP and cancer incidence, researchers conclude that a gene within the affected DNA region plays a role in cancer.
The first two study stages conducted by the consortium had already identified 16 SNPs in 16 different DNA regions to be associated with an elevated prostate cancer risk. Together with the results of prior association studies, about 30 risk genes for prostate cancer were known then. In the third and last round the research consortium searched in 4.574 cancer patients and 4.164 controls for another 1.536 SNPs. The emerging associations with cancer risk were then verified once more using 51.311 DNA samples of cancer patients and healthy men.
Alongside a number of already identified variants, the investigators found seven SNPs that emerged for the first time in association with an elevation in prostate cancer risk. The variants are all located in DNA regions that also contain genes for which the scientists consider it plausible that they play a role in carcinogenesis. However, an association with the malignancy of cancer could not be established for any of these variants. With the seven newly discovered DNA regions, scientists are now able to explain about 25 percent of familial cancer risk.

I have an issue with the presentation of The Forecaster's weekly section, the Police Beat. The Police Beat provides a list of arrests and summonses, but fails to report on whether those served were actually convicted. This is a regrettable oversight. As has again been witnessed in recent national incidents, the police account of an event is merely one side of the story. Readers of The Forecaster should be reminded that citizens listed are only alleged to have committed a crime. In practice, once The Forecaster publishes the name, age, and address of a local citizen, they are promptly convicted in the minds of readers before being entitled to legal due process.
I challenge The Forecaster to justify their publishing of the weekly Police Beat. What is the purpose of such a log? If the motivation for providing the Police Beat is to publicly disgrace the alleged offenders, then it is simply unfair for their names to appear in print before having a chance to fight the allegations. If the motivation of the Police Beat is to alert townspeople of nearby crime, then The Forecaster should likewise wait for convictions to be served. However, if the intention of the Police Beat is merely for the amusement of readers, then shame on The Forecaster for providing such entertainment, and shame on the local townspeople for their delight in reading of the infractions.

Sneak preview: simulating patterned textiles
We've been playing around lately with applying patterns to fashion photos in graphic software, to see how the fashion folks are using Repper. The below image was made with some Photoshop trickery. We are planning to make you a video tutorial soon how to do this yourself!
We think it would be incredibly cool to be able to apply patterns to imagery right in Repper and such a feature is definitely on our wish list for Repper Pro 2.0. Feel free to let us know what you think about this feature, dear Repper users!
2 Responses to "Sneak preview: simulating patterned textiles"
Right, This feature is must have in Reeper Pro.
Thanks for such nice application.
I think this would be great.! I also think dynamically altering a pattern on a garment by projecting and using a wii interactive surface set up would be to next step. Dynamic pattern changing on real garments would be a fabulous extension. I have started to experiment with creating interactive projection surfaces in conjunction with Repper: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlTcWikf1Zs
and will be using the tool for a community banner project with children in San Jose, California: http://youareherefabrics.weebly.com/
I love Repper!!

Afternoon everyone, I don't have much to report as I haven't been doing much thanks to the great British weather and the constant wind and rain we have experienced since last summer.. Summer? what's summer? I hear you ask! well that is the three day stretch of sun we have in May where a big orange ball appears in the sky. On a more serious note I have a leak in my studio and each time it rains I get a puddle on my window sill, husband is on the case but need a dry day to seal the leak from the outside, hmm ... good luck with that!
This morning saw another trip to the orthodontist with my son after his brace bracket fell off. One of his teeth is twisted so it need straightening and pulling forwards but it is a bit too twisted I think and it has fell off twice. Third time lucky I hope, The orthodontist is brilliant with my son, he is 14 and on the autistic spectrum so putting dental equipment what buzzes in his mouth is a big no no. The lady who sorts his brace out is brilliant with him and I only explained to her once about the situation and each time we go in she makes sure he is comfortable and tells him what is going to happen and what it may feel like. She also stops straight away to calm him if anything upsets him and I wish there were more understanding people like her in the world for people like my son.
Anyway enough about my day, I'm off to make some dinner and catch up with TV while the children are relaxing, I will leave you with some seashells made with black glass and have a lovely purple frit pattern.
Also these are some ceramic earrings I recently made, I love the colours!

Kiting in Ecuador
Riding in Ecuador
Santa Marianita
The beach at Santa Marianita is a spectacular location for learning to kite board and enjoying some wide open kiting. When we say wide open we mean wide open. The beach is almost 7 km long and with the wind being 60-70 degrees cross shore on shore you literally can ride straight out off the beach.
The fishing village of Santa Marianita is very small and offers a few amenities for some snacks and local food options.
Manta is one of the major cities in Ecuador. It's only a short jump from Quito by plane, only 35 minute flight, which means you are close. Manta is also a great place for some night life as well as some great restaurants.
The Kiting Spots
Open Spaces
The beach in Manta is also a great place to ride. Depending on the season the wind may be stronger there. This beach does also offer a very different riding experience. The water is sometimes flatter here depending on wave direction.
Flat water
Crucita which is the next town north of Manta does offer one of the only lagoons big enough to ride in Ecuador. This location does work better when it's nuking. It's recommended only for advanced riders as its deep and the wind direction is off shore cross shore from the launch site.
When the wind is up in Manta the beach does offer a great alternative to the beach at Santa Marianita, its wind is slightly more on shore, but there is a lot less chop which makes it a fantastic alternative for a day of riding.
If you are looking for mega breach break we've got it or some nice long points we can find that too. So no matter if you are just learning to kite waves or dropping into barrels, Ecuador has the spots for you.

This bed bug incident happened at their 5300 N. River Road in Rosemont, IL location.
This hotel has bed bugs!!! I just stayed there with my family for 2 nights. The first morning I woke up with horrible bed bug bites all over my feet and legs.
I told the concierge that they had bed bugs and showed them my bites, and one of them said to me, my family, and the other staff member, "That could very well be, because a few weeks ago, another guest complained that he got bit by bedbugs as well.
" Then just 1 min later, the other staff member said, " I have never heard anything about bed bugs in this hotel before, Mam, but I will move you to another room." That really disappointed us. How naive and deaf did they think we were? First they tell us that there HAS BEEN an incident there recently, then they tell us that they haven't heard of anything like this happening in their hotel before. What? Please do yourself a favor and cross reference this hotel with bed bugs, and you will see how many complaints there have been recently. DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL! All they did was give us 2 complimentary breakfast buffet tickets to shut us up. The food isn't even good there at all and it is a big ripoff.
If they want to have a good rep again, they need to shut down the building for a day or two and remove these bed bugs. I know we will not stay there again. I just hope and pray we didn't travel back home with these bedbugs in our suitcases.
My husband and I have stayed at many fancy hotels, but this is the very first one that we have had a problem with.
Itching on 06/23/2012
went to conference 6/13-16 woke up on 6/17 with red welts on torso and back. Terrible itching. MD confirmed c/w bed bug bites. Now just trying to make sure I don't get them at home! no response yet from hotel no other trips or exposures

My partner returned from Chicago after having spent one evening at the Intercontinental Hotel (10/3/11) in Rm. 3101. A few days later, his upper body, torso, neck and head were covered in small bites. The delayed appearance of bites was consistent with bedbug bites. Our doctor later confirmed the diagnosis. A message was left with the Intercontinental via their website but no one has responded.
Anonymous on 07/23/2011
Stayed for a week in January 2011. Woke up early during stay to find red bite marks over my lower extremities. Marks worsened and I finally sought help from the University of Chicago Hospital. The doctor immediately diagnosed a severe case of bed bugs. I took photos in case hotel management did not believe me. I was pregnant at the time and the doctor was concerned about my condition enough to call the manager on duty and fax her report to the hotel strongly suggesting a room change immediately.
Hotel management did change my room and clean every article of mine including luggage, but they totally denied that they were in any way responsible and suggested the bugs were on my luggage when I checked in. I am very loyal to IHG hotels, but am searching for a new Chicago hotel for my upcoming 2 week stay in September as I take umbrage by the hotel management's disregard for being responsible for the problem.
Mac on 04/26/2011
I have dealt with InterContinental Hotels' executive office before regarding bed bugs in one of their other hotels. This response is typical. They say that they brought someone to inspect the room and then deny that any bed bugs were found. In my case, I had photographs of the bites on my body which I sent to intercontinental and they still refused to admit that there is a problem.
It would behoove the hotel chain to acknowledge the problem when it exists and not treat its clientele as if
they are either crazy or liars.

This happened the week of December 7.
I woke up with red marks on my legs but they didn't look that bad. When I returned home that evening, I had at least 20 very red bites on each leg. An MD confirmed that they were bed bug bites. Hotel denies any infestation in the room. I know I was bit by bed bugs despite what they say.
InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile Management on 11/18/2010
InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile Management response to "anonymous†posting dated 10/26/10.
In an effort to ensure the safety and comfort of our guests in regard to this matter the hotel has in place a proactive program to limit the possibility of such an occurrence.
1.Our hotel staff is trained in all protocols used to detect the presence of bedbugs.
2.We have a standing contract with a third party pest control company which allows for the routine inspection of all o
f our guestrooms on a rotating basis.
3.Additionally, we employ a canine detection company that specializes in this field to do routine inspections of the property.
Any/all reports of potential bedbug issues are thoroughly investigated.
Upon receiving this particular report we placed the room out of service and brought our contract pest control service in to inspect the room.
No evidence of any type of insect/pest was found.
The room was treated as a precautionary measure and placed back in service with no such complaints filed since the reported issue.
Please contact the hotel's executive office if you have any further concerns.

Anne re-married her husband Stan after her return to the Catholic Church, so that their union would be blessed by God.
Anne had a three hour session with a Catholic Priest in 1998 in confession. Confession, is a Catholic rite of penitence. This was her only interaction with a member of the Clergy since whe was 18 years old.
Anne's favorite movies are: Evita, La Dolce Vita, The Godfather, Raging Bull, and The Red Shoes.
Anne was not impressed by the casting of Tom Cruise as the Vampire Lestat in Interview With A Vampire. She felt that he would be unable to reach the level of a vampire like the powerful Lestat. She was going to boycott the entire production, but went to a showing alone, and was pleased with his role.
Anne oversaw the making of her novel The Witching Hour made into a television limited series; a mini-series that extended over ten hours. John Wilder was responsible for the writing and producing of the scripts.
Anne has five Siberian cats that she considers family, they are very lovable, demanding, and sweet to her.
Anne's hobbies used to be maintaining two pre-Civil War houses in New Orleans and devoting time to her extensive doll collection, which included an assortment of French antique dolls. But that part of her life closed, and she got rid of those possesions, rather than continue to acquire them. That part of her life is over, so she needed to let it go, to simplify.
Anne reads historical books to unwind, to be in Florida with the deck door open to the sound of the crashing waves, and a good book open to the pages on the decline of Paganism is the perfect relaxant.
Anne never read a novel for pleasure until she was 35 years old, she was a slow reader. The first novel she read was Ordinary People by Judith Guest.
Anne held a variety of jobs before her husband Stan told her that she should stay at home and write her novel. She was a: waitress, receptionist, a claims examiner, a theater usherette, and a proofreader for a law book company.
Anne's first job was at a Walgreen's cafeteria over a drugstore on Canal and Baronne Street in New Orleans when she was 16 years old.
Anne retained her obsession with ritual, obsessions, and purification with lavish detail and gaudy decor in her newest style of writing in Christ The Lord.
Anne's fans are passionate about her, and she returns the feeling, e-mailing tirelessly with them and sometimes posting messages on their blogs.
Anne reinvented the vampire myth nearly 80 years after Bram Stoker published Dracula. She recast the secret underworld of the undead as beings entranced by the world's beauty yet haunted by spiritual despair. Her series, collectively known as 'The Vampire Chronicles' was compelling enough to sustain readers through nine sequels.
Anne sold off her elaborate New Orleans gothic mansion. The mansion holds it's own church, three fully-furnished guest rooms, and her doll collection. She bought the 60,000-square-foot mansion, a former orphanage, in 1993 to stage her doll collection and hold parties there. The mansion, that takes up an entire block, sold for $6.5 million.
Anne hung pictures of herself giving birth to her son Christopher all along the walls of her mansion.
Anne's novel The Vampire Lestat was made into a stage production, with songs by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Anne is very pleased with the production.
Anne decided to sell all of her New Orleans' property and move out of state after she was living alone for so long. Her husband had passed away and her son moved to California, so she left as well, right before Hurricane Katrina hit.
Anne's fans would sit outside of her New Orleans' home on Sundays, in crowds as large as 200, waiting to catch a glimpse of her leaving for church.
Anne fell into a deep depression after her husband died, and she gained a lot of weight, increasing to 254 pounds. The weight caused a lot of medical problems, including sleep apnea. To alleviate the problems, she underwent a gastric-bypass operation in 2003.
Anne discovered that she has type 1 Diabetes when she fell into a Diabetic coma in December of 1998. She now is an advocate for Diabetes testing.
Anne vowed to never go back to writing of vampires, even if it meant financial ruin. It would be turning her back on God, selling her soul to the Devil, in her eyes.
Anne's first book in her new series is titled Christ The Lord Out Of Egypt. The novel takes on the difficult task of writing the child Jesus from a first person perspective, tracing a couple of years in the child Jesus' early life. From the return of Egypt, to the finding of the Temple.
Anne's son Christopher is an openly gay man, and she wrestled with the church's stance on homosexuality when she thought of converting. She remains a passionate supporter of homosexual rights and religion.
Anne announced in a Newsweek article that she would leave the world of vampires and darkness to 'write only for the Lord', after spending all of her adult life as a self-described atheist. She returned to her Roman Catholic faith in 1998.
Anne's characters often display homoeroctic feelings towards each other, leaning towards bi-sexuality. For in her characters, a love beyond gender needed to be relayed.
Anne has written adult-oriented fiction under the alias Anne Rampling, and explicit sadomasochistic erotica under the alias of A.N.Roquelaure. The pen names are to protect the identity of her family, not because she is not proud of her writings.
Anne wrote the character of Claudia, the child vampire in Interview With A Vampire, based on her daughter Michelle.
Anne met Stan Rice at age 16, after her mother died from alcoholism, her father remarried and moved the family to Richardson, Texas. Anne met Stan at Richardson High School.
Anne's character the Vampire Lestat, is based on her late husband Stan. His will, courage, thirst for life, vigor, and beauty.
Anne had several of her novels turned into movies: Interview With A Vampire, Exit To Eden, The Queen Of The Damned. The Novel The Feast Of All Saints was made into a Showtime cable series.
Anne wrote her first published novel, Interview With A Vampire, in 1973. She sold it to Knopf Publishing House the following year for $150,000.
Anne and her husband Stan lived in Haight-Ashbury in the mid 1960s, in the middle of what was known as 'hippie central', typing away while others smoked marijuana and dropped LSD.
Anne is famous for her gothic and grisly vampire and witch novels, all set in New Orleans, where she lived while writing them.
Two of Anne's favorite books are Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, calling them her inspirations to start writing.
Anne's son Christopher was born in 1978. He is now an accomplished author.

Anne: Live and write as if you were already discovered. Demand respect and time for yourself as a writer as if you were already published and famous. Consider yourself a consummate professional even if you moonlight in a garage or at a kitchen table. This is how great writers are made.
Anne: My vampires are metaphors for the outsiders, the lost, the wanderers in the darkness who remembered the warmth of God's light but couldn't find it.
Anne: The subject of Christ in my new books is in no way a departure from my previous works; no one who knows my work could possibly think so.
Anne: I wrote Interview With A Vampire without ever realizing I was writing about loss. I was writing about my daughter's loss. And I was writing about my loss of Catholic faith long before that, because I had lost my faith in the year 1960, when I first went to college.

I am hoping this will become a semi-regular feature. Time to look at some of the baseball news from the rest of MLB. Trust me, it's worth the read.
Intent on destroying any hope that Mets fans might have had coming into the season with the good news in past days about Johan Santana and Jose Reyes (both of whom appear to be healthy), Omar Minaya has declared that the starting first base job will be an "open competition" — between Daniel Murphy and Mike Jacobs. Both have some power, but have shown less of it recently. Both have been terrible liabilities on the field (though Jacobs posted a not-terrible UZR last year), and, the best thing, as Rob Neyer points out:
When you see the names "Daniel Murphy" and "Mike Jacobs," you might say to yourself, "Self, neither of those guys are good enough to play every day, but what about a platoon? After all, the Mets are set with every-day players for every other position, so they should have the roster space to carry two first basemen."
Ah, that's what I thought, too. But then, a nagging little suspicion: Aren't Murphy and Jacobs both left-handed hitters?
They are.
That's right, friends. Even though he already had Murphy, Minaya chose — from among all the sluggardly sluggers looking for an invitation to spring training — another left-handed hitter to compete with Murphy.
[U]ntil something else happens, we'll have to go with this as the No. 1 early contender for 2010's Worst Plan of Spring Training Award.
Needless to say, both are terrible against left-handed pitching. Sort of makes our question about third base (PLEASE don't hand the job to Punto without a fight) seem moot, eh?
Jon Marthaler, over at TwinkieTown, thinks that Joe Mauer will sign this week, if only to eliminate the media swarms and drama that will result if he reports without his signature drying on a new contract. I tend to agree, but have to link for what may be my favorite Minnesota analogy of all time:
Have you ever tried to compliment a Minnesotan? It's like trying to bathe a cat. "I liked your ravioli hotdish at the potluck," you might say, to which the receiver of the compliment will say, "Oh, that? That's not much, really, just some ground beef and noodles and tomato sauce, I guess. I'm just lucky anybody ate any of it, we'd have leftovers for a week."
Do not make the mistake of arguing with this Minnesotan. You will enter into a vicious cycle of compliments and denials, one that will end with you offering to tattoo the recipe on your forearm, it was THAT GOOD, while the complimentee offers to cut out his or her tongue as a gesture of unworthiness.
Beautiful work.
If there is one person in the baseball world that I hate, it is Manny Ramirez. If I had to pick a second, however, it would be Scott Boras. As an aspiring lawyer, I am constantly horrified by the constant conflicts of interest that Boras, a 1982 graduate of the McGeorge School of Law, manages to get himself into. Represent five players that play the same position in the same off-season? Sure, why not. Focus on the player that will receive the highest paycheck to the (seeming) exclusion of all others? The business of baseball. Boras has a near-sterling reputation for getting the most money possible for his clients, and with that in mind, it's no surprise that few players fire him and even fewer complain. I would wager that Boras forces all his clients to sign waivers of ABA Model Rules of Professional Responsibility 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, and 1.10 (which govern conflicts of interest), though there is a hazy area where he could have problems under rule 1.3, which governs the diligence with which a lawyer must represent one's client.
I dislike Boras so much that even though I loved Carlos Gomez (and trust me, I really loved me some Carlos Gomez), I fully expected him to be traded after last season, due to upcoming arbitration (which, by the way, he settled for 1.15 million) and free agency. And I can't say that I am happy he's gone, if only because it frees me from considering whether Minnesota would have even attempted to re-sign him after he hit free agency, due to Boras being his agent. However, it's practically impossible for teams to avoid Boras, as he represents dozens of players.
Of course, this didn't stop our favorite Bert Blyleven from writing a fawning piece about Boras last December. And most other agents defend him, since they do the same thing. Agents work on commission, like trial attorneys and furniture salesmen. When Boras convinces a team to sign one of his clients, he gets a certain percentage of the agreed-upon amount, say 4%** . This has led to many, prominently Craig Calcaterra of HardBall Talk, to speculate that the reason Johnny Damon is out of a job is that Boras had a great financial interest in getting a job for Damon's fellow client Matt Holliday first, as Holliday was almost guaranteed more money that Damon. This worked out to be true: I expect that Damon will sign a 1-year, $7 million deal with the Tigers sometime this week, while Holliday signed a 7-year, $120 million deal (with a ton of perks not included in the dollar amount, including guaranteed road suites, full no-trade, and incentives) with the Cardinals on January 5. Since then, the free agent market has cratered, leading to the one-year Damon deal. At our 4% rate, Boras stands to make $4.8 million off the Holliday deal and $280,000 off the Damon deal. Which one would you (or any self-aware lawyer) focus on first?
**Pardon the Posnanski italics here, but I wanted to stress that I have no idea what Boras actually earns. I have heard that MLB has a maximum of 4% of contracts (with no confirmation), but I know from law classes that sports agents typically make $15-25% of endorsement deals and 10% on any media. Either way, when you think about it, Boras stands to gain a ton more money than the 4% of the contract, as Holliday will likely be in a ton of commercials and do a ton of media around St. Louis, now that he'll be there for the longer-than-near future.
Think about it this way: if you were a good player, not the best, but good, would you want your agent trying to arrange deals for the max amount of money possible for both you and the best player on the market at your position in the same off-season? I'm thinking not. Anyway, the reason I mention all this is that Felipe Lopez has fired Scott Boras as his agent.
Boras said: "We know how frustrating it is when a player can't get a starting job from any one of the 30 teams," Boras says. "We wish Felipe well. He's a very talented player." He's also had an agent that has represented other players that were far more lucrative all off-season. The quote has a repulsive "oh, no, it's not my fault" quality that seems to quite aptly sum up the situation.
Lopez is now likely to get much less than the $5 million that the Twins signed Orlando Hudson for, despite better numbers last season. Lopez has scared off some teams with his .360 BABIP, which is overly high, and others are simply not interested or not in need of a second baseman. Joe Pawlikowski over at the indispensible FanGraphs thinks that some teams, including the Cubs or Cardinals (at third base), might still ahve some interest, though it seems unlikely. Lopez is looking at a 1-year deal worth a max of $2.5-3 million, if that. There's a possibility
MLB needs to reform its rules regarding player representation. That, or the ABA (American Bar Association) needs to enforce its conflict-of-interest and diligence rules on sports agents, something it does not regularly do now.
And, by the way, vomit.

Kirk Douglas in a pro-Indian pro-environment Western romance
Lawrance M. Bernabo | The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota | 03/29/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Kirk Douglas is "The Indian Fighter" Johnny Hawks, who returns to the West after the end of the Civil War to lead a wagon train bound for Oregon. Along the way there is the threat of an Indian war stirred up by bad guys Wes Todd (Walter Matthau) and Chivington (Lon Chaney), a couple of whiskey traders who are after gold on Indian land. The Indians in question are led by Red Cloud (Eduard Franz), the Sioux chief who tried to keep the white man from taking over his people's land. Johnny is smitten with Onahti (Elsa Martinelli), the chief's daughter, who distracts him enough from his job to put the wagon train and the local military outpost at risk when Red Cloud's brother is killed. This 1955 western was filmed on location in Oregon by director André De Toth and the beautiful scenery along with composer Franz Waxman's evocative helps elevate "The Indian Fighter" to above average status. Given the time and genre, some of the scenes between Hawks and Onahti are quite risqué. In the end this is more of a Western romance than a Western action film, and with its inherent sympathy towards both the Indians and the environment, De Toth has made an extremely atypical Western. Elisha Cook has a nice supporting role as Briggs, a character who learned photography from Matthew Brady during the Civil War and has come out West to capture the grandeur of the landscape, and there are several moments when De Toth's has the camera provide the sort of beautiful panoramic shots that Briggs would aspire to take. Not a great Western but there is a lot here that warrants fans of the genre taking a long look. Trivia Note: Diana Douglas, the wife of Kirk and mother of Michael Douglas at that point in hsitory, plays settler Susan Rogers, who has her eye on Hawks but ends up with hardy Will Crabtree (Alan Hale, Jr.). I remember the actress from playing Professor Tyler on "The Paper Chase." This was the only film the two appeared in together and certain an interesting choice given they each have different love interests."
William W. Miller | Sparks, NV United States | 05/31/2003
(1 out of 5 stars)
"Either the original or transfer was terribly faulty but picture was poor. Aspect changed from moment to moment. Focus was a bit bleary and night shots were too dark to tell what was going on. And the story, it almost seemed like there were scenes deleted as story line had a very jerky feel to it. As a collector of western films, can only say this ranks among the worst I have purchased."
Great Kirk Douglas Western
Terence Allen | Atlanta, GA USA | 12/18/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)
"The Indian Fighter was blessed to have two great things going for it when it was made - one was Kirk Douglas, who was a standout in a number of Westerns, including Gunfight at The OK Corral, Last Train to Gun Hill, Along The Great Divide, Man Without A Star, and a number of others. The second was director Andre de Toth, who directed some great Westerns, including Ramrod, Springfield Rifle, and Riding Shotgun.
Together, they tell the entertaining story of Johnny Hawks, "The Indian Fighter," a legendary soldier who nows scouts for a living. As he tries to guide a wagon train to Oregon through Indian territory, Hawks gets in the middle of warring Indians and a defenseless fort. The Indians are upset because white men are trying to steal gold from their land, and the fort's commander is ready to fight, even if it means the death of everyone in the fort. Add Hawks' budding romance with the Indian chief's daughter, and you have lots of excitement.
This is a film that should get more attention than it does, and I hope that the DVD release will open it up to a much wider audience. The Indian Fighter is a very enjoyable Western."
Fun, Silly Western from the 1950s with everything but the ki
James Simpson | USA | 05/29/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)
"It's hard to dislike a film like The Indian Fighter(1956).
For one thing it's got a great cast. Kirk Douglas is the hero and Walter Matthau and Lon Chaney Jr. are the villians with Elsa Martinelli as an indian babe/love interest.
The film is directed by Andre De Toth who has made many enjoyable B-Westerns throughout the 50s and it includes plenty of the genre's most beloved cliches and more. This film's got Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Romance and plenty of Action to keep many a viewer interested.
The film's plot isn't so entirely original as it revolves aroung Douglas trying to keep tension at ease between the Sioux Indian Tribe and the U.S. Cavalery. Despite the title, Douglas is actually peaceful with the indians and treats them fairly, more so than other whites depicted within. He even romances the most beautiful Indian girl there is in the form of Elsa Martinelli. And who the hell can blame him?
Her introduction is a classic, beautifully realized piece of exploitation as she disrobes within the first minute of the picture(!) to take a nude swim! Awesome! It kind of saddened me that even though they do end up together, not more time was spent on this gorgeous babe and her relationship with Mr. Douglas. That's not just so myself and all the other male viewers can get a chance to ogle her perfect form but that she's actually rather interesting and her and the lead actually have chemistry! That trick she pulled on Douglas when he tried to sneak away in the night after going at with her was a classic!
The team of Walter Matthau and Lon Chaney Jr. is a little surreal, as they have such different acting styles. However it works and they are both appropiately hissable villains even if there climatic confrontation with Kirk is somewhat anti-climatic. Chaney is somewhat of a broad actor, but always brought a somewhat likeable quality to his characters, even if Horror seemed his calling. Matthau is a real bastard in this film, but I must say , it's not difficult to see how he became such a star later on.
A special nod must be given to Elisha Cook Jr. Usually cast the quintessential loser and dope in films, this picture affords him a very sympathetic sweet role as a former Civil War photographer who wishes to bring the beauty of the west to people around the world through his photography, in a way echoing that of Western filmmakers.
Douglas' character resents the idea, claiming the West as a "beautiful woman i'd rather keep to myself". The sentiment is understandable being what civilization will do the West, but respect is given to this character and frankly, this concept could have made a nice picture on it's own.
If the film has any problems, it's that it has probally too many wonderful ideas to encompass it's ninety minute length. The war between the indians and Army, the romance of Douglas and Martinelli, the plight of the Wagon Train and it's people and the gold hunting villians.
Still, this is so entertaining and fun to watch that few complaints can be brought against it. It's just such a good time.
The DVD features both Widescreen format and Pan and Scan versions of the film as well as a Theatrical Trailer."

If you are new to the world of SCI, read these first!
Cushion your fall!
Recently, we had a reader asking about how to get a person with quadriplegia up from a fall… If you were wondering the same thing, check out this article from Active Forever:
Important Transfer Techniques
When it comes to caring for patients, knowing how to adapt and work with various abilities is important- especially when it comes to mobility. There are few really good articles on how to transfer a patient safely (while saving your own back) but the ALS/MDA Organization has a great one. Here's the link to the page:
Hope it's helpful!
Understanding Quad vs Para
As a person with a spinal cord injury, I get a lot of questions and looks. Many people are curious about the adaptive equipment I use, like my "sport" wheelchair (hehe, love that one!) or the hand controls on my truck, but people are almost always surprised to learn that I am a quadriplegic. "What?! But you can move your arms!" Paralysis, in many ways, may not be what most expect. Read the rest of this entry
Quadriplegia & Body Temperature Regulation
Did you know that many people with high-level spinal cord injuries cannot regulate their body temperature? Not only that but their bodies do not sweat to cool down or shiver to warm up. It can be a pain in the butt for a person just wanting to get out of the house in the middle of summer or winter. For caregivers, why this happens, how to avoid hypo- and hyperthermia is extremely important (pretty much as important as how to manage autonomic dysreflexia). Even more important than that is how to treat someone who has become overheated or under heated. The excerpt below from Apparelyzed explains what is know as poikilothermia, or variable body temperature.
SCI function
This article was borrowed from The Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Foundation. For this and more articles related to paralysis, please visit www.christopherreeve.org or www.paralysis.org
The location of the spinal cord injury dictates the parts of the body that are affected. After a complete examination, the doctor will assign a level of injury. The doctor will also determine if the injury is complete or incomplete. The level of injury and function may change; the initial level of injury may not be the same level upon discharge to rehabilitation. It is important to remember that these are general guidelines and that individual outcomes will vary. Read the rest of this entry

- Court Disallows Pleading Amendments That Are Found To Have No Reasonable Prospect of Success
- June 23, 2016 | Authors: Adrian J. Howard; Beverley Moore; Chantal Saunders
- Law Firm: Borden Ladner Gervais LLP - Ottawa Office
- Teva Canada Limited v. Gilead Sciences Inc., 2016 FCA 176
Teva has lost both of its appeals seeking to amend its pleading to add in a claim that the patent at issue had been fraudulently obtained by misleading the Patent Office, contrary to subsection 53(1) of the Patent Act.
Teva said that on discovery, the inventors and the representative of Gilead admitted that they had not made and did not believe they could make any predictions of utility across the broad class of compounds claimed in the '619 Patent. In light of this, Teva took the view that Gilead has committed a material misrepresentation by filing the '619 Patent without a factual foundation to prove or to soundly predict utility. Thus, Teva sought to amend its statement of claim.
The Federal Court had found that the amendments improperly added allegations tantamount to fraud without sufficient evidence, and that the allegations had no reasonable prospect of success.
The Federal Court of Appeal agreed. Teva's proposed amendments were not found to have a reasonable prospect of success. The standard to be applied by the Court was described as being "more than just assessing whether there is just a mathematical chance of success. In deciding whether an amendment has a reasonable prospect of success, its chances of success must be examined in the context of the law and the litigation process, and a realistic view must be taken."

text: HomeMusicElementary Kinship Atmospheric Music Video Harnesses the Elements for French Musician, Colleen's Latest Single I'm Kin, the latest single from multi-instrumentalist Colleen aka Cecile Shott is a haunting musical journey signposted by literary and mythological references steeped in allegory. It's certainly feels fitting that the video, directed by Christophe Thockler, is itself a standalone piece of conceptual art. "Considering that Colleen's music is electronic but made with real and ancient instruments, I thought it would be interesting to express this dichotomy and work with organic materials and, at the same time, create a very numeric piece of work with a complex montage and video interferences like, for example, chromatic aberrations," said Christophe. The video is an abstract exploration of elemental materials which dovetails beautifully with Colleen's melancholic vocals. Using the lyrics as an inspiration, sparks fly, ice melts and nature itself begins to bleed. Christophe uses a combination of stop motion and video techniques to create a dynamic visual palette. It can be a painstaking process, as Christophe works alone, covering everything from photography to post production, but the results are definitely worth it. We were eager to find out more. The Plus: How did you come to work with Colleen? Christophe Thockler: I must say I did not know her until she saw some of my videos and decided to contact me to talk about a possible collaboration. I immediately fell in love with her amazing beautiful music and her universe. Then we started talking about ideas for a music video. TP: What part of the video are you most pleased with? CT: It may sound a bit cliché, but I am pleased with the whole video. I would probably not say this for all of my other videos, but the challenge here was to use all these different materials and still create something homogeneous, and I think that the whole is quite coherent. If I had to choose, maybe it would be the bleeding flowers sequences; they metaphorically fit the lyrics so well, and this mix of yellow and red looks really nice. I like the idea that these images embody life and death at the same time. TP: You work in lots of different fields for diverse clients, is juggling those a challenge? CT: I really love this. I love the idea of working on a very artistic music video, then, the next day designing web applications for accountants or web artwork for corporate companies. It's challenging, but at the same time very motivating, you never get tired of what you are doing and you meet a lot of different people. TP: What's on your playlist at the minute? CT: Right now, I am in the middle of the beautiful, gloomy and moody trip hop song Strange Hours by Recoil. I listen to music almost all day, I really love music! If some of your readers like this style, they can explore a dark trip hop playlist I did here, it's full of great tracks: http://www.deezer.com/playlist/13154412 TP: Are you working on any new projects currently?

bbettina needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 52 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
Lebrun Labs
We need a new logo for our small company which is developing analytical tests for a variety of industries: food, wine, medical, biotechnology. The logo should convey the idea of analysis/laboratory without being too technical so it also speaks to customers who aren't lab types (e.g. the winemaker customers)
Since the industries are so different the logo should be flexible and adjustable for each industry. One idea we had was a syringe pipette which would be filled with a blood red liquid for medical applications, a "red wine" red liquid for the winemakers, a green liquid for environmental testing, etc. but we are completely open to other ideas.
Very diverse customers from scientists to winemakers. The logo needs to appeal to all of them
We are looking for a modern, clean logo
Uncluttered with clean lines, nothing cute, no swirls, absolutely no serif or script fonts, nothing cartoony or clip art like
we would like to see some designs including a drop/drops (including syringe as discussed above or not) as handling drops of "stuff" is very much part of our business (much more than beakers or other standard lab ware).
One idea we like was having the drop double for the letter a of LebrunLabs. We'd like to see a design using that idea.
Should be adaptable to different customer segments though a slight adjustment as described above
Name should be integrated into logo but doesn't absolutely have to be. If it isn't, please suggest how to best put name, and logo together.
There will be a tagline, probably a different one for each business segment we are targeting. The logo should enable us to integrate a short tagline. The current one we are using is: The Wine Testing Company
Company name should be in a standard font or one that can be easily and inexpensively be bought
Logo should also work in black and white
We need print and web file formats

I recently posted an article on Ed Felten's group blog, Freedom to Tinker, which covers both technical and policy-related I.T. issues. It describes some technical issues and my recent experience with DMCA enforcement agencies, BitTorrent, and CoralCDN. I think our readers would be interested in it as well, as well as join in the lively conversation among commenters.
In the past few weeks, Ed has been writing about targeted and inaccurate copyright enforcement. While it may be difficult to quantify the actual extent of inaccurate claims, we can at least try to understand whether copyright enforcement companies are making a "good faith" best effort to minimize any false positives. My short answer: not really.
Let's start with a typical abuse letter that gets sent to a network provider (in this case, a university) from a "copyright enforcement" company such as the Video Protection Alliance.

What is Earnest Money? What does the amount of it truly close-fisted to both the client and the seller?
Simply, from the role player prickle of position in earnest resources is "putting your wake where on earth your oral fissure is". When an offering is made to a marketer on stead of the buyer, something much than a buyer's linguistic unit that they are interested in the belongings is unremarkably unavoidable. This shows the trader that you are a dry customer who is sedate roughly the volunteer that is person settled on the tabular array. The sophisticated the amount of the money, the more in earnest the vendor will comprehend the customer to be. This has some positives and negatives related next to it. Showing solemn may creep the vendor in your direction terminated different grant or it may practise in opposition you in negotiating your fee hold out as the hawker may judge you are before now in be passionate about beside the den and not income a humiliate bid than what the dwelling is priced at.
Therefore, decisive how considerably monetary system to set in solemn is not a cut and dry reply for any one. This is where on earth a material material possession professional can tread in and truly be of assistance you in making decisions because both propose is inimitable. A guideline to trail is one to five proportionality of the speech act cost.Post ads:

The actual estate nonrecreational will transport your solemn notes draft beside them when they engender the offer.

Once an tender is acknowledged the order of payment is deposited into a holding account, by and large control by a label company or realistic estate professional. It is ever a third entertainment. The foundation for this is to factor access to the coinage by some the purchaser and the vendor. At final this riches will be transferred and practical either to the escrow, behind pay-out or towards the final value.
If for any plea the extend does not go through, who gets the money?

Tul Releasing Water-Cooled TT X800 GTBy Justin Mann
Using X800 GT and X800 GTO based cards, Tul is taking PowerColor Radeons and adding a Thermaltake water cooling solution. Dubbed 'TideWater', it is similar to other water coolers with a standard water block for the GPU and a slow-spinning small fan to keep the block cooled. It includes a pump, radiator and all the others things a water cooler needs, but has been scaled down considerably to fit comfortably inside the chassis completely... at the cost of a few PCI slots. Including the card that means 3 slots for this device alone, but for systems that don't already have a water cooling setup it's a fantastic idea for overclockers. Depending on price this could make a great OC card, especially with the new core revision for the GTO GPUs.

When you have four children, it is really fun to spend time with each of them individually. I have enjoyed doing this at every stage of their lives but I find that now that I have two in college, those moments together have become even more special. Recently, I enjoyed a great meal at Elevage with my daughter. We have so much fun dining together and there is nothing that we enjoy more than ordering dishes to share.
We enjoy experimenting with new flavor combinations and were excited to order the Asparagus Egg Salad. When it came perfectly plated with a poached egg on top, our server told us to burst through the egg and mix it with the salad dressing. Let's just say — we were excited. Never missing a food photo opportunity, here is the instagram.
It was love at first bite – the tangy dressing mixed with the egg, crisp asparagus and sweet butter lettuce. We immediately knew that we had to create this Asparagus Egg Salad at home. Seriously, what could be so hard about a recreating a salad? We found out the hard way that this salad was not so easy to duplicate. Another instagram moment – first attempt, getting the salad dressing just right, I think we got it. Let's just say, it took us a couple of attempts to get it right. So typical, by the time we were done — the salad looked very different than what we enjoyed at dinner. That is the beauty of loving to experiment, create, cook and inspire.
Here is my version of the Asparagus Egg Salad that we not only fell in love with, but will serve over and over — because it really is that good. I do have to warn you, if you are a chef or a culinary student — don't look. Yes, I will tell everyone to cook the asparagus and the poached egg together. I know, I know! If we were to follow culinary rules, we should be poaching in one pan and blanching properly in another. Then we should slow the cooking process with ice. As a busy mom that wants to get delicious meals on the table, I am going to tell you — ain't nobody got time for that! Too many steps to follow and too many dishes to clean!

F&C warns German firms about UK bribery law
German companies, particularly the Mittelstand, are at risk of legal action from Britain's Serious Fraud Office if they engage in bribery, as UK anti-corruption law taking effect this week has extra-territorial reach, says investor F&C.
German companies, particularly the Mittelstand, are at risk of legal action from Britain's Serious Fraud Office if they engage in bribery, as UK anti-corruption law taking effect this week has extra-territorial reach, says investor F&C.
George Dallas, director of governance at the £106bn asset manager, says the UK Bribery Act applies to UK companies, and all foreign companies with "business relations and commercial presence" in the UK.
The law holds liable companies whose executives commit bribery, even in third countries, or those judged to have inadequate anti-bribery procedures.
Dallas said within corporate Germany, the Mittelstand was "potentially at the greatest risk, because they might be less aware of bribery being a business risk, and may have fewer resources to scan and monitor this".
The law takes effect on Friday, at a time ever more European companies including mid-caps tap into growth markets – where payments might be regarded as normal – because consumption in developed markets has dried up.
More companies have approached F&C since the crunch over concerns involving bribery, Dallas said.
"I do not think it is good for companies to be in fear [of the Act] but to have a healthy respect for the law is good." Companies admitting bribery to authorities may escape with lesser punishments, he said.
Dallas voiced concern, though, the UK SFO may lack resources to pursue all leads, so would rely on whistleblowers, and companies providing information about corrupt rivals. The SFO would take some action on companies soon after the new law takes effect, to show it has teeth, he predicted.
Companies convicted could be fined, miss out on government contracts, and suffer serious damage to their reputation and severe distraction of management as they faced up to sanctions, Dallas said.
"There is a moral issue at stake, but as investors while I think we have morals, too, there is also the fact this is a business risk and one you have to manage because the consequences of getting it wrong are getting bigger and bigger.
"Part of our engagement with companies is to make them aware of this and ask them what they are doing." F&C engages with German companies on business practices, both as a bond- and equity holder, and on behalf of €8.4bn German clients have in its responsible engagement overlay program.
F&C does not automatically divest from all companies that mention bribery, but Dallas said he would have "significant concerns" over standards in other parts of a business involved in corruption.
