Most of the people that visit this blog, do have a reason. They want those destructive diggers to just stop destroying their land and devouring their crops. The first step is to identify what you are dealing with.
Gophers are underground eaters and love plant roots. Although sometimes they eat above ground.
Ground Squirrels usually forage above ground, eating food producing plants, ornamentals and at times, insects.
Gophers are nocturnal and are above ground at night.
Ground Squirrels are diurnal and are above ground during the day.
Ground Squirrels do not hide their holes - they do not plug the top.
Gophers are solitary animals and can have up to a 2000 ft. territory.
Ground Squirrels live in colonies that can consist of several dozen animals.
In "Caddyshack," Bill Murray's character, Carl, was out to get a Gopher.
The Burrow Blocker battles Ground Squirrels.
Before you start acting like too much like Carl Spackler, and break out the explosives, contact me. I'll help you find a safer and saner solution.
Very good info thank you! Thought I had gophers but now realize its probably squirrels (which Ive seen around). Love those Caddyshack lines too, they made my day.
Well, if it's Gropher, better to use Gopher Trap 0625, it is work's well.

"Cure" for Racism?
In the wake of the horrific massacre of nine people – studying the Bible, no less – in the black church in Charleston, President Obama lamented that America is "not cured" yet of racism. He is right.
Indeed, there are many other maladies of which America and the world itself are not yet "cured." We are not cured of Jew hatred, or bias against Christians or people of faith. We are not cured of homicide and theft, of robbery, burglary and assault. We are not cured of evil, hatred, slander or gossip. We are not cured of malice and impropriety, of adultery and immorality. We are not cured of foolish talk and self-destructive behavior. We are not cured of mental illness. All those maladies still exist but the good thing is, like racism, they exist in very small groups and sometimes just in demented or decadent individuals.
We are also not yet cured of demagogues who cannot lead or inspire but can incite – and proffer abundant platitudes disguised as wisdom. Is a cure possible for any of this? Of course not.
The answer is so simple that one wonders why such risible statements are uttered in the first place. The great conservative thinker Russell Kirk once wrote: "the perfection of society is impossible, all human beings being imperfect." Of course America is not yet "cured" of racism; no country in the world, no civilization that has ever existed has been "cured" of any evil doctrine, deed or temptation. That is the essence of the human dilemma. Why the President should think otherwise is a mystery, unless he believes that – since he can slow the rise of the oceans and begin to heal the planet – he can also eliminate bad thoughts and evil behavior from the human race.
Only perfect people can create a perfect society, and since there are no perfect people, it stands to reason that there is no perfect society. To the liberal mind, that is unconscionable and unacceptable, and must be a source of great vexation. It is also responsible for a lack of perspective, an absence of deliberation and a foolish rush to judgment about American society.
Is America a racist society? Certainly not, although there are obviously a small number of people who hate blacks or Jews or Christians or whites or anyone else. The proof of the contrary is in the response of all Americans to these brutal homicides: universal condemnation of the murderer. I even heard rumors that he was denounced as an extremist by the skinheads and other white supremacist groups –and that is saying something. Everyone I have heard considers the murderer to be a monster, obviously deranged but not clinically so or he wouldn't be responsible for his actions. But he can't be normal. No normal person could think like him and certainly not act like him. The sooner he is executed, the quicker our society can be cleansed.
And the reaction of the church members was uplifting in its grace and nobility. Those who hastened to forgive were acting in accordance with Christian doctrine, but I hope that he is not forgiven enough that he escapes a speedy execution (or at least execution; nothing in the American judicial system is speedy).
The widespread denunciation of his heinous acts speaks well of American society but unsurprisingly so. Sure, slavery was the great evil of America's founding, but the American people are also the only people in world history to fight a bloody civil war – still the bloodiest war in American history – in order to free slaves. That was unprecedented and unduplicated, and reports of the virtues of such a nation filtered to Eastern Europe in the last third of the 19th century and sparked the great immigration to the United States, especially of Jews. This is what they heard: brother fought against brother in a war whose primary cause and consequence was the abolition of slavery. Let that sink in. G-d liberated us from Egypt; the Egyptians didn't fight each other so Jewish slaves could go free.
As a result, people flocked – and still do – to a country that guaranteed freedom and liberty, that attempted to share its values with the world, and that constantly wrestles with the morality of its actions. How many other countries are like that –that Obama should bemoan that America is not perfect?
There is something both odious and unctuous about the President's remarks, as if his disappointment that America is not Utopia changes anything about human nature or solves any problem. Of course America is not Utopia. Only Utopia is Utopia, and Utopia doesn't exist in reality.
What is truly remarkable is absence of racism in American society, notwithstanding the reprehensible homicides of a lone gunman and haters that exist here and there. It is a particularly hollow claim in a country in which wealthiest entertainers and athletes are black, and where the most powerful politicians are black – including a president elected twice by a nation who, in his words, has racism in its DNA. And this from a man who spent 20 years in the pews of a church in which he regularly heard sermons from a racist black preacher. Is there a racist politician today who can get elected to any office, even on a municipal level? But as Shelby Steele wrote, asserting the claim of ongoing racism furnishes an ongoing "entitlement to power."
Are there people who don't like one ethnic group or another? Yes. There is not a country on earth that contains perfect people who love and appreciate everyone. That is not to say that hatred is built into the DNA of mankind – everyone has free choice to be loving and tolerant or spiteful and narrow-minded – but Obama might as well decry the continued existence of tornadoes and hurricanes in a nation that could put a man on the moon. He might as well lament the persistence of poverty in an affluent nation (wait; he does, hence his drive for redistribution of wealth).
It is a shame, but an unsurprising one, that Obama chose a moment in which he could have united Americans in shared grief and politicized it with complaints first about gun control (as if there are no laws already in place outlawing the murderer's possession and use of that firearm; actually, had some of the churchgoers packed some legal heat that night – as is common in shuls in Israel – the event might have had a different ending) and then about racism (as if what happened reflected a societal flaw rather than the work of one evil loser). Obama's error was underscored in last week's sedra, the query of Moshe and Aharon to G-d: "Shall one man sin, and You will be angry at the entire congregation?" (Bamidbar 16:22)
The anguished search for and failure to find Utopia engenders an interesting conclusion noted here in the past and verified by a host of social scientists. Conservatives tend to be happier people than liberals. Because liberals expect perfection, they are irritated by the foibles of human nature. Nothing is ever good enough and the liberal is therefore pained by the deficiencies of mankind, but always pained, as mankind is always deficient in something. Conservatives are more realistic, more willing view the present as satisfactory, if not even satisfying, and less likely to live in a constant state of discontent.
That and more explain the tendencies and clumsy rhetoric of the man who currently occupies the Oval Office. But even his missteps should not distract us from the epic sadness in Charleston, and the crime that touched every person of faith. The refinement of the survivors and the victims' families, and the support shown from every quarter of this country, shows the elementary decency of Americans of all backgrounds and all walks of life.
Even the disgruntled musings of the President in perpetual political mode cannot nullify that essential truth.

"Sure, slavery was the great evil of America's founding, but the American people are also the only people in world history to fight a bloody civil war – still the bloodiest war in American history – in order to free slaves…"
You can look at this another way. Only in America was it necessary to fight a bloody civil war. Most countries were able to end slavery with the stroke of a pen, but only in America was slavery so entrenched that it required a war to abolish it.
What do other countries think about this? Do historians in Britain, France, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, and Spain often say, "It's great that we abolished slavery, but its too bad we didn't fight a bloody civil war over it like the Americans. That's a legacy that should make them proud. It's a mark of shame for us that we merely proclaimed the abolition of slavery and had it accepted by all our citizens as the new law of the land. If only we could have had half our country rise in rebellion in the process. Too bad."

How appropriate it is that your comment personifies the liberal that does not have the ability to recognize what an incredible event the civil war was and to merely lament at the shortcomings of man that it manifested
David Hes | June 29, 2015 at 11:20 pm |
Patented nonsense. There is nothing more taboo in this country than racism. The problem is that there are too many people who try to profit from alleged racism, using it as a red herring to shake down people and companies, blackmail them, and pocket the spoils.
The current occupier of the White House engages in such demagoguery because in his heart he IS THE racist. It is evident from his speeches, policies, and actions that he rejects the basic values of this nation and has sought to bring power to those who would like to see our nation become a socialist state where everyone is subjugated to their whims and policies.

David, is that a serious post?
Rabbi | June 30, 2015 at 2:15 am |
None of the countries you cite were known as major slaveholders, but almost all fought bloody civil wars, and over matters of lesser importance. Be careful whom you praise.
Oddly, you seem to have guilt over America's slave past. I don't. My ancestors were being persecuted in Eastern Europe while America had a slave problem. So I don't take it personally.
– RSP
Thank you. That is exactly the point I was trying to make, but I think you just said it much better. Only in America was slavery so entrenched that it required a Civil War to eradicate. As you say, it's not like the concept of a Civil War was unfamiliar to these other countries. They simply didn't need a Civil War to abolish slavery because they weren't major slaveholders like we were.
To my surprise, we agree on the core of my argument. So allow me to restate the challenge. If America had abolished slavery – through a contentious, argumentative, painful, but ultimately political process – and the South had grudgingly accepted the new law and slaves went free and the Civil War did not happen because it wasn't needed, would you feel more or less pride in your country's heritage?
(p.s. I am curious to hear you address that question directly, but my heart isn't really in this argument anymore. It's still racing from the events of the past week. Stable health insurance, marriage equality for my friends and family, Dylan Roof's failed race war, Confederate flags under scrutiny, Barack Obama's exalting speech in Charleston, etc. Debating the past can only get you so far when the present is so absorbing.)

Yes it is a serious post. ( No room to reply to your question above.) Anyone who for years was a friend of that racist Wright and attended his church diatribes regularly – and you're asking me if it's a serious post? G-d bless our nation and woe to those who consider it biased against anybody's background or culture because it's light years from accurate and only an attempt to incite discord.

COMPLETE TRANSCRIPT OF:
Boo Hoo Palestine by Pat Condell, 2014 October 20
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvTgqBluojM
Despite the recent enthusiasm we have seen in the West for recognizing the non-existent country of Palestine, the much-vaunted Two-State-Solution is a fantasy, that has no chance of leading to peace; because the Palestinians, or to use the correct term, Arabs, have proven beyond any doubt that they are not negotiating in good faith, that they cannot be trusted to keep their word, and that any agreement they sign will be worthless.
They initiate all the violence in the region, and they break every cease-fire, because they do not want negotiations or a Two-State-Solution, and they are not even keeping it a secret. They keep telling us: they want a One-State-Solution with no Israel and no Jews; and they pledged to never stop fighting until that day comes; both Hamas and the supposedly-moderate Fatah [PLO]; and we have no excuse for not listening. But we will find one, as usual, won't we?
Any agreement they do sign will be simply a stepping-stone to a better vantage-point from which to attack and destroy Israel; every Arab knows this is true. So any future Palestinian State will be like Gaza is today: a racist apartheid state, devoid of Jews on pain-of-death; and a launch-pad for daily rocket-attacks on Israeli civilians, until the Israelis finally lose patience and retaliate, and the world condemns them as Nazis.
The pattern has been set:
Palestinian terrorism is always rewarded, and that it why it never stops.
And we in the West are helping to bankroll it; we can't throw enough money their way. So much money that the leaders of Hamas, supposedly former refugees, are personal billionaires, while the people they claim to represent live in misery.
Killing Jews for Allah is very lucrative, because it is popular with the rest of the world; if it were not popular, it would not be lucrative.
And this despite the fact that Israel has NEVER initiated violence against any of its neighbors; it has only ever responded to it. The Israeli Army takes more care than any other to minimize civilian casualties, and everybody knows this; but this is never a feature of any news report, because it sends the wrong message; it tells the truth.
But despite the media's criminal dishonesty and bias, many people are now beginning to see for themselves, even if they can't quite bring themselves to admit it, yet, that Arab/Muslim Jew-hatred is root-cause of this problem; it is the poison at the heart of it, and until it is confronted and dealt with, honestly and effectively, by the rest of us, including especially the media, the Two-State-Solution will remain self-congratulatory fantasy of stupid Western politicians.
But something else that really does not help the emotional temperature of the situation is the fact that the Arabs are clearly jealous of Jews. And with good reason; they can see the disproportionate contributions that Jews have made to human advancement, in contrast to their own contribution, which is virtually nil. And they can see what a civilized and prosperous society the Jews have created in their midst, in contrast to their own racist, misogynist and deeply ignorant culture, with its childish honor-shame culture, which has no honor, and of which they ought to be ashamed.
Also, the Jews have given the Arabs a tidy spanking, several times, when attacked unprovoked, despite being heavily outnumbered. It seems that everything the Jews do, they do better. No wonder the Arabs are jealous.
It must infuriate them that they very people their infallible religion [Islam] depicts as inferior, as apes and pigs, have turned out to be clearly superior; that has got to hurt!
And it must infuriate them to know that the world is openly patronizing them by giving them all this unwarranted attention and money. We all know they do not deserve it, and if they were measured by the standards we apply to everyone else, they would not get it. But we hold Arabs to lower standards; we expect less of them, because we are racists.
And they are so stupid and self-indulgent, they milk it for all it is worth, and they end up expecting less of themselves, a lot less, which is exactly what they get. And it is what we all get, when show yet again, that they cannot be trusted, by breaking yet another cease-fire, by attacking innocent women and children in the most cowardly way, and are not held to account for it; but on the contrary, are rewarded, yet again.
That is why this conflict is self-perpetuating. That is why the Two-State-Solution is a fantasy, and for once, we in the eternally guilt-ridden West really can't blame ourselves.

Are Jews repeating the mistake of the Ancient Romans?
"Social status [in ancient Rome] was defined
in part by the food served at a banquet.
The more numerous, varied and expensive the
dishes a host served, the more impressive
he seemed to his guests.
It was not unusual, therefore, for some
people to spend more than they could afford
on food for such occasions, causing them
to go into debt."

Are Chris Evans and Alba Baptista Dating? Relationship Status
Is Chris Evans dating Alba Baptista? The musician has become an internet star as a result of the rumours spreading on the internet.
Alba Baptista is a well-known Portuguese actress who recently starred in the film Nothing Ever Happened, which will be released in 2022. Following the film, Baptista was cast in the upcoming drama L'enfant.
Her new drama will premiere on February 10, 2022. It's also been nominated for a Tiger Award at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.
Baptista's rise to fame as a result of her series Warrior Nun on Netflix has entangled her in speculations that she is dating Chris Evans. Let's see how much of the rumour is true in this place.
Is Chris Evans Dating Alba Baptista?
Chris Evans, a Marvel actor best known for his role as Captain America, and the Portuguese actress Alba became the subject of widespread internet allegations that they were dating. Is this, however, correct?
In late 2021, both artists began to face rumours. The rumours began after one of the actors' videos was shared on TikTok.
The speculations intensified after Chris and Alba began following one other on Instagram and even exchanging likes on each other's postings. Their admirers didn't stop there; they also provided proof of their tattoos.
While fans have been following the speculations, the stars have yet to respond. Furthermore, it appears that the reports are unfounded, as both musicians are confirmed to be unmarried as of 2022.

Alba Baptista's Relationship Rumours
Alba, as a well-known actress, is always dogged by dating rumours. In 2022, she is expected to be unmarried and unattached.
Baptista had at least one previous relationship with filmmaker Justin Amorim. After working together in the film Leviano, it was revealed that the two stars began dating.
Their relationship status is currently unknown, however, she is currently the subject of internet speculations about Chris Evans.

The Alba Baptista-Baptista Relationship Revealed
Alba is a popular actress who stands about 5 feet and 6 inches tall. She has been the subject of countless online dating rumours.
But first, let's take a peek at her amorous history. The actress has made her connection with Justin Amorim, a well-known director, public.
Other than the speculations, she has no other relationship history than her love affair with the director. Furthermore, they have been upfront about their romantic lives and have been dating for quite some time.
There have been no current updates on their relationship, and the actress has not recently released any photos of Amorim. As a result, her relationship is still a bit hazy at the time.

Here's Who Could Replace Rupert Wyatt on 'Gambit'
Candidates to get the job done.
Gem Seddon
Sad news, Channing Tatum fans. Your dreams of seeing the muscled superstar in his first comic book movie have been put on hold, as Fox's Gambit movie lost its director Rupert Wyatt last night. The Planet Of The Apes helmer bailed on the ragin' Cajun's solo outing, citing scheduling conflicts as the reason for his swift exit.
With the movie still tucked into its October 2016 release date and recently confirmed to have influence within the X-Men cinematic universe, Tatum and his fellow producers had better get their skates on to secure a replacement. Which they should definitely pick from this quartet.
Simon Kinberg
Kinberg's a key player in the Fox Cinematic Universe. Racking up plenty of producer credits on the studio's X-Men-related movies, he's no stranger to the specifics of those properties. He oversees how the whole universe slots together and makes sure none of those moves overstep the studio's licensing rights. While he's yet to direct a film, Kinberg has produced and written loads. If he were to hunker down in the director's chair, this project would be perfect for his debut.
Not the most obvious choice to step into Wyatt's blockbuster boots. Aronofsky's actually dallied with comic book fare before; an alternate iteration of Batman prior to Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight was on the cards, prior to him very nearly taking James Mangold's seat on The Wolverine. He's an established relationship with Fox, the keen visual sense of a magic realist, and experience with big budgets.
Michelle MacLaren
Another experienced helmer who lost out on the big leagues, MacLaren previously worked together with Warner Bros. in developing Wonder Woman before she exited. She's got a wealth of TV experience on shows like Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, demonstrating an eye for detail and a consideration toward characters driving a story, perhaps two of the most important elements in adapting a comic book property. Not to mention, she has the overall vision required to make ensure cohesion across an entire series arc.
Let's face it, Edgar Wright should be on the directors shortlist for every movie. First and foremost, he knows how to have fun with his movies. Ever heard anyone walk out of Shaun of the Dead, Wright's history practically reads like a commendation, with Scott Pilgrim proving he's got the chops to adapt a beloved comic book, the aforementioned Shaun evidence of his genre hybridizing capabilities; and there's of course the years and years of prep he did for Ant-Man. This is the guy.


User Journeys involve a string of linked moments that aim to provide a plausible (and hopefully a research-based) account of how someone might move towards greater levels of engagement with a brand, service or product. Each journey will usually involve lots of little events, culminating in one big moment where the user does that thing we hope they'll do; such as buy, upgrade, sign up, share, follow, upload, download… and so on.
But it's worth thinking of more than just micro and macro moments. Moments have many differing qualities, and an interesting journey might encourage more than one type. It may even map to a narrative arc.
For me, this is where Heidegger comes in!
'Ready-to-hand' is an unconscious experience. When I encounter something in this way, I am in a state of 'flow' and I am thinking fast. I perceive the 'chair' as being interconnected with the objects around it.
'Present-at-hand' is a conscious experience. When I encounter something in this way, I am out of the 'flow' and I am thinking slowly. I perceive the 'chair' as a separate entity.
In our daily life, we tend to experience a mixture of these two states. I am likely to encounter 'chairs' in a way that is neither entirely 'ready-to-hand' nor entirely 'present-at-hand'. I might for example, give it a vague thought, such as, "oh, nice chair!" and then get on with the project of sitting down on it. So what we're looking at here is a spectrum between two extremes, along which it is possible to have a wide variety of different types of experience.
These are moments where users cross a threshold of understanding and take a corresponding action. The experience is meaningful and the resulting action is deliberate and meditated. When we put these types of moments into user journeys, they are often used to describe the most important events from a business perspective. They might, for example, be moments where the customer is acquired, or retained.
Moments of truth happen when users come face to face with a product, service or brand. They usually won't want this to happen too often, preferring to get on with their lives, and using the product or service in a 'ready-to-hand' way. As such, it may be wise to include only a few such moments, but to design them with extreme care (given their critical importance from a business perspective).
These are moments where a brand speaks to users. They become aware of its personality. Signature moments show users something unique and are in need of regular refreshing. What can seem special today, doesn't feel that way when everybody is doing it, or when the competition manages to cook up something better.
The key thing is that they are 'ready-to-hand' insofar as they call themselves out to us. They make us remember that something is different here. Something special is going on.
Whereas 'invisible moments' meet the user's immediate needs, 'delightful moments' exceed their needs and add in a little extra.
Delight happens when the user feels that thanks to the speedy and thoughtful actions of the product or service they're dealing with, they're able to enter or return to a realm of ready-to-hand (a comfortable place). They remember these experiences with gratitude and are happy to tell others about them.
These are moments that happen without customers noticing them. Things just work seamlessly and no barriers get in the way. There is no reason to think.
Invisible moments happen when users are helped along the right path or prevented from making wrong turns. They are the most ready-to-hand of the moments described here.
Ready-to-hand moments work really well when triggered by a brand, product or service. They make users feel cared for and respected. It feels great to be in the flow. Users will thank you for at least some of the hard work you put in to helping them to get that experience.
Present-at-hand moments work best when triggered by the user. Pushing users into these moments can feel pestering, desperate or annoying. For example, you have to earn your right to present the 'BUY NOW' call to action, ideally with a series of ready-to-hand experiences that accumulate in an engaging way. You have to allow your customers to 'try before they buy', or to come to understand the offering vicariously through a video or online demo. Users want to learn by playing, not by reading. As such, the ready-to-hand should nearly always come before the present-at-hand moments in customer journeys.
There is a trend towards crafting entirely ready-to-hand user experiences. We seem to hope that more and more of the complexities of life will be managed for us, with smart algorithms reading our behaviour and anticipating our next move. Designers focus on joined-up experiences that provide a product and an ecosystem to go with it. We become so addicted to flow, that we forget the value of thinking. We are even willing and eager to buy goods in a ready-to-hand manner. For example, eBay's in-the-moment bidding, or iTunes micro-payments help us to part with cash in a more or less frictionless way.
It is worth remembering though, that the practice of UX design is not just about finding and removing the barriers that impede user action. Users who interact in mindful ways are more likely to find meaning and fulfilment in their experience. This is still, and will always be, where the real action is.

Amid Outcry for Justice, Cabinet May Bring in Death Penalty for Child Rape

The government told the Supreme Court on Friday that it is actively considering amending the penal law to introduce death penalty to those convicted of sexually abusing children up to 12 years of age.
New Delhi: Against the backdrop of outrage over the incidents of rape of minors in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao and Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua, the Centre plans to bring an ordinance to amend the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, sources aware of the development said on Saturday.
The Cabinet is considering the proposal and a decision is likely to be made soon.
"An ordinance today is the best way to deal with the issue. An amendment bill will have to wait (till July) when the Monsoon session commences," said a law ministry official.
According to the proposal, those convicted of committing rape on children up to 12 years can also be awarded death penalty. As the POCSO law stands today, the maximum punishment for "aggravated assault" is life in jail. The minimum sentence prescribed is seven years in jail.
Under Article 123 of the Constitution, the President has the power to promulgate Ordinances during recess of Parliament, if circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action. An ordinance thus promulgated has the same force and effect as an Act of Parliament.
After the Nirbhaya case in December 2012, when the criminal laws were amended, a provision of death penalty in case the woman either dies or is left in a "vegetative state" after rape was introduced through an ordinance which later became the Criminal Law Amendment Act.
The assertion of the Centre assumes significance following the public outcry for award of death penalty to such sexual offenders, including the assaulters of an eight-year-old girl who was gang-raped and killed at Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir recently.
A similar incident has been reported in Surat. Police had found the body of a nine-year-old near a cricket field in Bhestan with over 80 injuries, including some on her private parts.
Post-mortem has revealed she was raped for at least eight days before being strangled.
In his first comments on the gruesome incidents of rape in Unnao and Kathua, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had last week said that no criminal will be spared and daughters will get justice.
"I want to assure the nation that no criminal will be spared. Justice will be done. Our daughters will get justice," he had said at an event to inaugurate the BR Ambedkar memorial in Delhi.
In London, Modi had said, "We always ask our daughters about what they are doing, where they are going. We must ask our sons too."
The person who is committing these crimes is also someone's son, he said, adding that rape of a daughter is a matter of shame for the country.

James F. Tierney
James F. Tierney Assistant Professor of Law
Twitter SSRN
Professor James Tierney joined the faculty in July 2020. His research focuses on stock market regulation, investment management, and corporate finance. Drawing on years of experience advising federal securities regulators in government, and representing financial services firms in private practice, his current projects explore contract design and regulatory enforcement in retail securities markets, where ordinary investors act like consumers. He teaches core and advanced classes in business law.
Before joining the faculty, Tierney practiced for five years with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as senior counsel in its Office of the General Counsel. In that role, he advised the Commission on the interpretation of the federal securities laws, and wrote opinions constituting final agency action articulating those interpretations. Before that, he practiced at Mayer Brown LLP in Washington DC, where he represented firms in the financial services and other industries in appellate and class-action litigation, and advised them on regulatory policy. After law school, he clerked for Judge Mary M. Schroeder of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
This course is a survey of the federal securities laws governing the distribution and trading of securities.
Topics include materiality, mandatory disclosure, the definition of a security, antifraud rules, insider trading, public and private offerings of securities, secondary transactions, liability, and enforcement. Primary focus is on the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, with limited attention to state "blue sky" securities legislation. Prerequisite or co-requisite: Business Associations or permission of the instructor.
This course is an introduction to the law of for-profit businesses. The spring 2021 section, and future fall sections, cover doctrine through statutes and case law; practical concepts relevant to advising business clients; and transactional documents at the core of business law. The class is designed as a survey of business association law, with a primary focus on transactional work relevant to clients who may be small businesses or participants in them. Topics include the formation, operation, combination, and dissolution of unincorporated and incorporated business firms; as well as the relationships between owners and managers (principal-agent, partners, joint venturers, limited partners, limited liability partners, members and managers of LLCs, and shareholders, officers, and directors for corporations) and, to a lesser extent, their relationships with outsiders.
How do businesses raise money to finance operations and growth? How do investors provide that financing? What is the role of lawyers in facilitating these deals? This course offers something for future transactional lawyers and litigators alike. Students will become familiar with how businesses, investors, and fiduciaries (such as trustees) decide to put money to work. They will also be exposed to principles that recur in corporate, securities, and bankruptcy litigation. The first half of class focuses on finance for lawyers, and may cover concepts such as fundamental and market value, market efficiency, the time value of money and discounting, prudent investing in modern portfolio theory, and behavioral finance. The second half focuses on the financial transactions that businesses use to raise money. The second half works through transactions in firms' capital structure, including various forms of basic and preferred equity financing, and basic and fancy debt financing. Prerequisite or co-requisite: Business Associations or permission of the instructor.

Surgery Patients in Four States May Have Been Exposed to Hepatitis, HIV
Cellino & Barnes has offices in New York and California
March 22, 2016 - LOS ANGELES – Thousands of patients who underwent surgery at U.S. hospitals may have been exposed to hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV, a new federal investigation revealed.
Authorities recently indicted a 28 year-old surgical tech who is accused of swapping-out syringes during surgical operations, which could put patients' safety at risk. As a result, nearly 5,000 people were alerted that they may have been exposed to hepatitis or HIV.
Steve Barnes, a cofounder of the law offices of Cellino & Barnes, said the surgical tech worked in at least six hospitals spread across four states, including California.
"This individual was fired from several medical facilities and he had a record of drug abuse," Barnes said. "Despite his history, hospitals continued to hire him and that may have placed thousands of patients at risk."
Cellino & Barnes attorney John Sheehan said some patients may have suffered extreme pain if the allegations are true.
"This individual was allegedly stealing powerful pain killers and replacing them with saline solutions, which do not do the same job." Sheehan said. "Thousands of patients may not only have been infected with hepatitis or HIV, they could have also suffered extreme pain as surgeons operated on their bodies."
Health officials have not confirmed any infections as a result of these allegations but several people who underwent surgeries at hospitals say they have tested positive for hepatitis.
Cellino & Barnes has assembled a team of medical malpractice attorneys to assist patients and their families who have been victimized by negligent hospital staff. If you or a loved one contracted hepatitis or HIV following a surgery Cellino & Barnes will review your case for free.
For further information, contact the Law Offices of Cellino & Barnes, 800-888-8888.
Background on Cellino & Barnes: Cellino & Barnes is a personal injury firm that focuses exclusively on accident cases. They have helped thousands of injured victims from all fifty states, with over $1.5 billion in settlements and verdicts. The firm has seven office locations in the U.S. including offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Rochester, and Buffalo.

Students in the Jobs for Maine's Graduates (JMG) program discovered that learning about subjects like science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) is fun during the organization's first annual Nature Exploration for Students through Teamwork (NEST) event. NEST takes JMG students out of school and puts Mother Nature at the head of the class. More than two hundred and fifty 7th graders in JMG took part in this overnight event from May 17 -20th at the YMCA camp in Winthrop.
"I've been in a kayak before, but I didn't know how much engineering goes into making and designing a boat so it can float. It's pretty cool that Eskimos invented these 4,000 years ago using seal skin and now we are making them with man- made plastics," said Katelyn James, from China Middle School.
All week, students began the process of exploring the world of STEM through outdoor activities including kayaking, a low ropes course, and a scavenger hunt using the global positioning system (GPS). Students began to understand how these subjects, that are often considered scary or complicated, relate to very simple things in their everyday lives.
The goal of NEST is to begin to teach students STEM-related skills in order to better prepare them for a job market that is demanding more and more of these skills. Time Warner Cable is a big believer in STEM education and is lead sponsor of NEST.
"Partnering with Jobs for Maine's Graduates is a smart decision for us. These young people are going to be tomorrow's workforce – our employees. If we want them to be ready for the demands of a 21st century job market, we have to invest in them now," said Andrew Russell, Communications Manager for Time Warner Cable of New England.
Time Warner Cable has launched a 5-year initiative called "Connect a Million Minds", a philanthropic campaign to address the country's declining proficiency in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The company has even designed a curriculum: Cracking the Codes in the Wireless World, which gives students the chance to explore the technologies behind the wireless products they use every day.
JMG is a statewide, private nonprofit working with students who face barriers to education. JMG provides 4,000 students a year with the skills and experience they will need to succeed in high school, post secondary education, and careers. JMG graduates become engaging members of their communities, productive adults in the workforce, and contributors to Maine's economy.

Movies » Vishwaroopam Movie Review
Vishwaroopam Review
Deepa Garimella / fullhyd.com
There is something wrong with a movie if the interval feels like the end, and the end feels like the interval.
Vishwaroopam is a Kamal Hasan film minus the megalomania. Which, in retrospect, was a bad idea, since the movie is now only slightly more interesting than a documentary on making documentaries. To call Vishwaroopam a "thriller" would be about as accurate as calling Manmohan Singh a stuntman, so you can put the seatbelts away.
Kamal Hasan opens his act by playing an effeminate dance teacher Viswanath, whose exaggerated femininity makes his wife, Dr. Nirupama (Pooja Kumar), cringe. Nirupama, "understandably," has an extra-marital fling with a boss who makes shady payments to the Middle East. Nirupama has no clue that something is wrong.
Meanwhile, she has also set a private eye to snoop around in Viswanath's life. The private eye stumbles upon something strange, but things get stranger from here on.
Vishwaroopam deserves appreciation for dealing with the issue of terrorism head-on and in such detail. The film spends half its time in an Afghan hideout - where people speak Arabic and not the strange Telugu-Deccani mix that our directors would have us believe - and these are the meatiest parts of the story. Rahul Bose shares the limelight with Kamal Hasan here, in a poignant narrative that weaves together two sides of the terror coin - the morbidity of jihad, and the tragedy of the death of innocents.
The terror outfit in question comprises men and boys who are groomed from a very young age - as depicted by a little boy who hasn't learnt to shave yet but can recognize the make of a gun while blindfolded. The men look at themselves as warriors, and not as antagonists of world peace. Behind their seething bitterness is the pain of loss, and a need for "revenge".
Kamal attempts an intelligent conversation about the subject of terror, but he doesn't make it very interesting. He's telling us things about terror we already know, in a way that doesn't exactly change your life. The whole spy thing is not very thrilling anyway. One of the few times Kamal excites audiences is when he breaks out of his womanish act and suddenly starts kicking butt. For a movie touted as an action masterpiece, such moments are too few and far between.
The movie, on the whole, has the consistency of molten lead - it is dead s-l-o-w. By the time the interval lumbers in, you feel a week older. Ironically, the movie's ending feels incomplete, and there is no sense of closure when the credits roll.
Kamal Hasan, well, is as Kamal Hasan as Kamal Hasan can be. There are no facial contortions, thankfully, except for the dance teacher segment, which, frankly, can be freaky to watch since the man has aged now. In the rest of the movie, though, he is disappointingly understated.
Rahul Bose has a lot of screentime, and is good to watch. Nasseer is a fine actor, as always, and Shekhar Kapur is good, but doesn't have much to do. Pooja Kumar is expressive, but her dubbing can get slightly artificial and annoying.
Kamal's attention to detail is pretty evident in the way the Afghan villages have been recreated and shot. The villages look legit, the mountains are gorgeous, the dressing is authentic, and the bombing scenes have been executed well. However, the parts that are shot in New York (or whatever was passed off as NYC) are bleak, wintry and gloomy, lacking the vibrancy of Middle Eastern turf.
The songs aren't distractions, and are suitably woven into the movie. The title song can become an earworm, though.
Meanwhile, all the fuss over all the "objectionable" content is misplaced, unless you think discussing al-Qaeda is taboo. (Although, if you ask us, Manmohan Singh might want to protest against his voice being mimicked in a phone conversation between Vishwaroopam's protagonist and "the Indian PM"... for being more life-like than in real life.) The violence and the depiction of blood are quite graphic (while not very aesthetically shot), and you might want to keep the kids at home.
Watch Vishwaroopam if you're a die-hard Kamal Hasan fan. The rest can wait to catch it on television.

This is an absolutely must watch only on a cinema screen. TV can not show the vastness of Afghan scenes. Dear Deepa, your review can be freaky to read and disappointingly overstated on points that were never bad to start with. First fighting sequence itself is enough to tell you what this movie and its position is. This movie can be benchmark in-terms of production values, originality and slick editing. I dont think this movie was slow. You must learn to sink into the plot before making judgement. Anyway, I do not mind watching it again in an IMAX screen which can justify the rich visuals.

Hey Deepa, agree with your review (almost) however it deserves a better rating.. Ive been a regular follower of movie reviews in fullhyd, and the thing which ive noticed is for a dubbed movie (however good it is) you guys end up giving a low rating (any regional feeling :P) Eg: Rangam, Thupakki ..

«Параллельные миры» () — фантастическая мелодрама режиссёра Хуана Диего Соланаса. В главных ролях Джим Стёрджесс и Кирстен Данст. Премьера в России состоялась 23 августа 2012 года.

Сюжет
Очень давно две планеты притянулись друг к другу, и на обеих планетах живут люди, для каждой из планет есть своё притяжение. На верхней планете царит богатство и благоденствие. На ней создана корпорация, выкачивающая недра второй планеты и взамен предлагающая электроэнергию по цене, неподъёмной для бедных жителей нижней планеты. Перемещение людей между планетами жёстко контролируется.

В центре событий находятся двое людей: она — девушка из богатой семьи из верхнего мира, он — простой человек из нижнего мира, между ними любовь и прочие сопутствующие обстоятельства, которые осложняются тем, что от их союза зависит судьба двух миров.

В ролях
 Джим Стёрджесс — Адам
 Кирстен Данст — Иден
 Тимоти Сполл — Боб Боручовец (из верхнего мира)
 Джейн Хайтмейер — руководитель
 Блу Манкума — Альберт (из нижнего мира)

Съёмки
Основные съёмки начались в Хэнкоке, Мичиган в феврале 2010 года. Съемки и постпродакшн были расположены в США из-за низких налогов страны на кинопроизводство. Продюсер Димитри Рассам сказал: «Мы не могли бы снять "Параллельные миры" без французской системы финансирования, но мы не могли провести съёмки [во Франции], потому что налоговая скидка недостаточно привлекательна».

Критика
Фильм получил смешанные отзывы кинокритиков. На сайте Rotten Tomatoes фильм имеет рейтинг 25 % на основе 51 рецензии критиков со средним баллом 4,8 из 10. На сайте Metacritic фильм имеет оценку 45 из 100 на основе 22 рецензий критиков, что соответствует статусу «смешанные или средние отзывы».

Czech Republic: From Prague Castle to Česky Krumlov Castle, a land of castles and fairy tales
by Gadling Staff on Aug 18, 2010
For hundreds of years, Czech Republic was the land of knights and castles, royalty and moats, and drawbridges. Though the country boasts hundreds of castles and palaces across its hills and mountains, several impressive castles are close enough to Prague to be seen within one vacation. Still depicting the spirit of their peak days as royal medieval fortresses, these five castles are worth a closer look.
Founded in the 9th century, the Prague Castle is one of the oldest castles in the region. During its long history, the Castle housed Bohemian Kings, Holy Roman Emperors, and Presidents of Czech Republic. Today, the Prague Castle is said to be the biggest ancient castle, and gleams as the jewel glistening above the Vltava River as the centerpiece of Prague.
What to do: Plan to spend a day to tour the soaring Cathedral, extensive gardens, and regal palaces within the Prague Castle.
Karlštein Castle
Founded in 1348 by Czech King and Roman Emporer Charles IV, this castle sits high on a hill overlooking the sleepy Vltava Moldau River. The town below advances up the hill with quaint shops and Czech-style restaurants, making the trek up toward the Karlštein Castle an experience in itself.
What to do: Plan to take the horse-drawn carriage up the steep grade road, from the only parking at the bottom, and enjoy the old-world feel of the village and castle to the sound of the horses' clip-clop over cobblestones.
Křivoklát Castle
Approaching Křivoklát Castle from the surrounding hills creates a breathtaking experience, every time. Křivoklát looks like the castles born of fairy tales, built in the 12th century and washed a majestic white. Inside, find a Gothic chapel, an extensive library, and a memorable collection of Gothic-era art.
What to do: Take the tour, and see firsthand the notorious dungeons and prison torture instruments.
Loket Castle
This middle ages castle of the 12th century sits near the Czech-German border, and was once thought to be the key to the kingdom of Bohemia. Perched high above a dramatic promontory overlooking the Ohře River, the Loket Castle is a sight worth beholding, especially notable for its complete reconstruction by the townspeople of the village of Loket after its ruins during Communism.
What to do: Visit the charming town of Loket during one of their Festivals, and participate in the glimpse into medieval life.
Česky Krumlov Castle
One of the best preserved medieval towns in the world, ranked Number Two by the UNESCO World Heritage list, second only to Venice, Italy. Česky Krumlov, near the Czech-Austrian border, is the second largest castle in the Czech Republic, after the Prague Castle.
What to do: Tour the extensive gardens above the Castle, see a theater production hosted in the gardens amphitheater, or raft down the moat-like Vltava River below.
Czech Republic, home to hundreds of castles and palaces, is truly a fairy tale world to discover.

Garuda-Indonesia-Flug 200 war ein Inlandsflug der staatlichen indonesischen Fluggesellschaft Garuda Indonesia auf der etwa 440 Kilometer langen Flugstrecke von Jakarta/Soekarno-Hatta nach Yogyakarta am 7. März 2007.

Bei der Landung auf dem Adisucipto International Airport von Yogyakarta schoss das Flugzeug über das Ende der Landebahn hinaus. Die Maschine kam kurz hinter dem Flughafenzaun in einem Reisfeld zum Stehen und ging in Flammen auf. Bei dem Flugunfall wurden 20 Passagiere und ein Besatzungsmitglied getötet.

Crew und Besatzung
An Bord der Boeing 737-400 waren 133 Fluggäste und sieben Besatzungsmitglieder. Unter den 133 Fluggästen waren 19 Ausländer, die den Besuch des australischen Außenministers Alexander Downer auf Java begleiteten. Die Cockpitbesatzung überlebte. Die Australier an Bord waren Teil einer Delegation unter Beteiligung des australischen Außenministers Alexander Downer und Generalstaatsanwalts Phillip Ruddock, die wegen einer Anti-Terror-Konferenz nach Indonesien reiste. Zunächst war angenommen worden, dass Downer und Ruddock an Bord der Maschine waren und Australiens Präsident John Howard hatte zunächst die Zahl von 49 Toten genannt. Die australischen Behörden bestätigten aber, dass fünf Australier unter den Getöteten waren. Viele der Überlebenden erlitten zum Teil schwere Brandverletzungen und wurden in lokale Krankenhäuser eingeliefert. Einige der verletzten Australier an Bord wurden zur Behandlung nach Perth und Darwin geflogen; ein Australier wurde mit schweren Brandverletzungen in ein Krankenhaus nach Singapur gebracht. Unter den getöteten Australiern waren zwei Beamte der Australian Federal Police, eine Mitarbeiterin der australischen Hilfsorganisation AusAID, Elizabeth (Liz) O'Neill – die Pressesprecherin der australischen Botschaft in Jakarta und der Journalist Morgan Mellish vom Australian-Financial-Review-Magazin.

An Bord des Flugzeuges war auch ein Kameramann des australischen Senders Seven. Er begann sofort nach seiner Flucht aus dem Flugzeugwrack den Unglücksort zu filmen. Seine Bilder wurden von Fernsehsendern weltweit ausgestrahlt.

Fluggerät
Die 14 Jahre alte Boeing 737-400 mit dem Luftfahrzeugkennzeichen PK-GZC machte am 5. November 1992 ihren Erstflug und wurde am 13. November 1992 an Aloha Airlines ausgeliefert. Das Flugzeug gelangte über Star Europe und die indische Jet Airways zum indonesischen Staatscarrier. Zum Unfallzeitpunkt hatte sie 35.157 Flugstunden absolviert. Der Jet stand seit dem 7. Oktober 2002 in den Diensten von Garuda.

Verlauf
Um etwa 7:00 Uhr Ortszeit (0:00 Uhr GMT) schoss die Boeing 737-400 über das Ende der 2200 m langen Landebahn des Flughafens von Yogyakarta hinaus und setzte dabei mehrfach auf, bevor sie in einem Reisfeld außerhalb des Flughafengeländes steckenblieb. Berichten von Überlebenden zufolge soll sich kurz nach dem harten Aufsetzen, bei dem alle Passagiere an den Vordersitz geschleudert sein sollen, in der Kabine starker Rauch entwickelt haben. Teile des Fahrwerks wurden nach der Havarie auf der Landebahn entdeckt. Eine Landung auf dem Flugzeugbug war wahrscheinlich der Grund für die Entzündung des Flugzeuges. Bevor die Maschine zum Stehen kam, wurden beide Triebwerke abgerissen und die rechte Tragfläche wurde beschädigt, so dass Kerosin auslief und sich rasch entzündete. Das Flugzeug wurde völlig zerstört.

Nachdem das Flugzeug zum Stillstand gekommen war, gelang es der Flugzeugbesatzung, mehrere Türen zu öffnen und die Notrutschen zu aktivieren. So konnten 118 Flugzeuginsassen ins Freie entkommen; 11 Personen wurden mit teilweise schweren Verbrennungen geborgen. Nachdem der Brand gelöscht war und die Trümmer abkühlten, wurden die Leichen aus dem Wrack geborgen.

Flugkapitän Morwoto Komar erwog eine Fehlfunktion der Landeklappen.
Nach Augenzeugenberichten soll sich das Flugzeug mit zu hoher Geschwindigkeit der Landebahn genähert haben. Passagiere berichteten von mehreren starken Erschütterungen vor dem Unfall.

Die Flugschreiber wurden zur Auswertung nach Canberra, Australien geschickt. In die Ermittlungen schaltete sich auch die Australische Bundespolizei ein.

Untersuchung der Ursachen
Ermittler der australischen Luftfahrtaufsicht führten Untersuchungen des Wracks durch. Beide Flugschreiber wurden nach Canberra gebracht, da in Indonesien die technischen Einrichtungen für eine Auswertung nicht vorhanden waren. Mitglieder der Crew gaben an, dass es ein Problem mit den Landeklappen gegeben habe und Flugkapitän Marwoto Komar sagte aus, er habe beim Landeanflug ab einer Flughöhe von etwa 1000 Fuß starken Fallwinden gegensteuern müssen. Der Flughafen ist nach Angaben aus indonesischen Luftfahrtkreisen bekannt für seine wechselhaften Windströmungen. Mitarbeitern der indonesischen Untersuchungskommission zufolge seien auch Korrosion und ein Bruch des Bugs als Ursache nicht auszuschließen. Passagiere berichteten, vor der Havarie sei das Flugzeug mehrfach geschüttelt worden und nach Aussagen zweier Angehöriger der Royal Australian Air Force an Bord habe sich das Flugzeug dem Boden viel zu schnell genähert. Australiens Außenminister Downer erklärte, dass es keine Hinweise auf Sabotage oder einen Terroranschlag gebe. Zuvor gab es solche Spekulationen, weil einige Überlebende ausgesagt hatten, dass es kurz vor dem Unfall zu einer Explosion an Bord gekommen sei.

Im Oktober gab die Flugsicherheitsbehörde in Jakarta bekannt, dass der Kapitän zu hoch und zu schnell geflogen sei. Er habe mehrfache Warnungen der Bordinstrumente und des Copiloten ignoriert.

Fluggesellschaft
Die Fluggesellschaft wurde 1949 gegründet und ist die älteste in Indonesien. Seit 1950 waren Flugzeuge der Fluggesellschaft in 29 größere Flugunfälle verwickelt, wobei Garuda-Indonesia-Flug 152 am 26. August 1997 mit 234 Toten der folgenschwerste Unfall in der Luftfahrtgeschichte Indonesiens war, als ein Airbus A300 beim Anflug auf den Flughafen von Medan nach einem Fehler der Flugverkehrskontrolle gegen einen Berg prallte. Nach Ansicht des Direktors des Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation, Peter Harbison, seien die meisten Unfälle in der indonesischen Luftfahrt darauf zurückzuführen, dass die niedrigen Sicherheitsstandards der Flugplätze und Fluggesellschaften mit den durch häufige Unwetter und starke Winde oft schlechten Wetterbedingungen in der Region zusammenspielten.

Der letzte tödliche Flugunfall einer Maschine von Garuda Indonesia hatte sich 2002 ereignet.

Garuda Indonesia ließ das Firmenlogo auf dem Leitwerk und das Flugzeugkennzeichen mit Farbe übermalen, offenbar um den Vertrauensverlust der Kunden zu verringern. Die Fluggesellschaft ging damit ähnlich vor wie Adam Air bei der Havarie von Adam-Air-Flug 172 Mitte Februar 2007 und Alitalia bei der Carpatair-Bruchlandung 2013.

December | 2015 | ARTZCOOL'S BLOG!
I'm always looking for an excuse to make something sweet, and luckily this time of year, there is always a great excuse! I will share with you some of the chocolates I have been making, but tonight I am more excited about this new recipe I found for Brown Sugar Fudge. Here is the link for the original recipe…the author of the blog calls is Brown Sugar Candy. Doesn't matter what you call it… It is delicious!
You need butter, brown sugar, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and icing sugar. Come on, how can that not be delicious… Right?
Start by melting 3/4 of a cup of butter, and mix in 3 cups of brown sugar, and a can of evaporated milk.
Stir until everything has been dissolved. And, bring to a boil. The above picture shows what it looks like before boiling, and the picture below shows what it looks like after simmering for 5 minutes. I stirred for most of the time it was boiling. Then, take it off the heat and add a teaspoon of vanilla, and stir it in, then add a pound of icing sugar, and mix well.
I tried to mix it by hand, but it was all lumpy, so I ended up using my hand mixer.
Then I poured it into a 9×13 pan. I lined the pan with parchment paper, and let the parchment hang over the edges so it would come out easier.
I left it in the fridge for a few hours, then took it out and sliced it into small squares.
You can see a little in the picture that is was a little moist at first. So what I did was put it back in the fridge uncovered for a day, it dried out, and became a little crusty on the outside, just like fudge should be! If you have a sweet tooth, or sweet cravings, this recipe is definitely for you! It is sweet, creamy, and tastes just like brown sugar! I have made a few different types of fudge over the years, and this might even be my favourite!
