Gilman Law LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is actively investigating shareholder allegations that Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. (?PacBio? or the ?Company?) and certain of its officers and directors knowingly, or with severe recklessness, made materially misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information necessary to make various statements not materially misleading in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

For over 30 years, the lawyers at Gilman Law have been involved in all major aspects of securities fraud litigation. The firm specializes in cases involving stock manipulation, securities fraud, and shareholder rights violations. If you purchased or otherwise acquired the common stock of PacBio between October 27, 2010 and September 20, 2011, inclusive (the ?Class Period?), you may contact Gilman Law LLP by February 26, 2012 to discuss your rights, including as to recovery of your losses or to obtain additional information.

Based in Menlo Park, California, PacBio is a development stage company that develops, manufactures and markets an integrated platform for genetic analysis. The Company engages in commercializing a platform, single molecule, real-time technology (SMRT) for the detection of biological events.

The PacBio shareholder class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleges that during the Class Period, the Company materially misled the investing public by failing to disclose material adverse facts regarding the Company?s overall operational and financial condition that were caused by significant problems with its third generation human genome sequencing technology. The Complaint further alleges that as a result of these materially false and misleading statements, PacBio?s common stock traded at artificially-inflated prices during the Class Period. Shareholders allege that when the truth concerning the Company?s business prospects, and specifically its revenue projections, were finally revealed on September 20, 2011, the price of PacBio common stock drastically fell 24%. dockets.justia.com/docket/california/candce/4:2011cv06599/249492/ Case No. 11-cv-06599.

A “lead plaintiff” is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Gilman and Pastor LLP to serve as your counsel in this action.

Trip to banana plantation in Costa Rica in May 2007. We were not permitted to film inside the processing plant (but there are several good YouTube videos showing this aspect), so this video shows our approach from San José to the plantation near Puerto Viejo. A highlight at 2:22 is when our van has to stop at a “banana crossing”: blocking the road came a horse hauling about 60 huge bunches of bananas hung on the wire line that crisscrosses the plantations to transport the fruit from the fields to the processing plant. The two workmen who cut and carried the very heavy bananas to the line can be seen riding along at the beginning and end of their load. The musical accompaniment is “Palalé Pot” by Cantoamérica from the wonderful cd, Cantoamérica 25 Años. I direct Arizona State University’s fabulous Costa Rica & Central American Studies summer study abroad program. Students study intensive Spanish in an immersion environment, live with Costa Rican host families, travel around this beautiful country, and learn all about Costa Rica in its Central American context.

Part (9/10): www.youtube.com Durban Business And Professional Women At The IPCI – by Sheikh Ahmed Deedat In this video members of the Durban Business And Professional Women’s Club visit Sheikh Ahmed Deedat at the IPCI (Islamic Propagation Centre International) to discuss matters regarding Islam and Christianity. Sheikh Ahmed Deedat: In 1986, the King Faisal Foundation awarded the King Faisal International Prize for SERVICE TO ISLAM, to a South African who is more or better known than many dignitaries in their own countries. This was the first time that this prestigious award has been awarded to a South African. The recipient of this award was a man totally dedicated to his faith and its propagation and who was not afraid to challenge any one to a debate to settle once and for all the matter, who has the good news right? He was none other than Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, reverently known and called UNCLE by those who hold him in high esteem and admiration. The award came after a lifetime of struggle to propagate Islam and to defend Islam against the onslaught of the missionaries. Finally, he was given recognition by the international Muslim community that he deserved and focused more sharply the attention of the Muslim world on the most important aspect of his work, the challenge to propagate Islam. This was his life long ambition to focus the Muslim world’s attention and resources on the propagation of Islam, and at last he succeeded. What a moment of jubilation, achievement and …

RAMPANT CORRUPTION AT THE MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE The attached audio clip was recorded on December 30, 2008 outside the gate of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, 7th floor, 100 Center St. I was at the DA to check the status of a criminal complaint against a Judge (Herman Cahn) who had committed various felonies and misdemeanors, including tampering with evidence. The morning before the recorded incident occurred, I had gone to 1 Hogan Place, which is the entrance to the DA’s office. I was told by the guard there that I was on a “list” of people banned from the DA’s office, and that I could not enter. No reason was given. Although 1 Hogan place shares a building with 100 Center street, they are entirely distinct and have separate access. 100 Center street houses numerous Government agencies, and several courtrooms. Having been denied access to the DA’s office, I went to the clerk at 100 Center street, and asked how I could obtain information on the status of the complaint. The clerk told me to go to room 732, where the records of complaints are kept. Room 732 is in the DA’s office, but is accessed through a guarded gate on the seventh floor of 100 Center street. The clerk told me that I had “Every right” to go to the DA’s office to check my complaint. The following recorded conversation took place at the gate. The NYPD officer at the gate told lie after lie, trying to dissuade me from checking the status of the case. When I failed to be dissuaded by …

(?Diamond Foods?) and certain of its officers and directors violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, by issuing false and misleading information. Diamond Foods engages in processing, marketing and distributing snack products.

For over 30 years, the lawyers at Gilman Law have been involved in all major aspects of securities fraud litigation.

A shareholders class action lawsuit was commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Diamond Foods issued the following materially false and misleading statements concerning the Company?s business and financial results: (1) Diamond allegedly failed to disclose that the Company had underestimated the ultimate price to be paid to walnut growers; (2) Diamond Foods improperly accounted for its cost of sales and as result, overstated their financial results; (3) The Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (4) as a result of the false and misleading statements, the Company lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about their business, operations, and prospects. dockets.justia.com/docket/california/candce/3:2011cv05386/247344/ Case No.: 2011-cv-05386

According to the Complaint, on April 5, 2011, Diamond Foods announced that it was going to acquire the Pringles snack business from The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) and finish the acquisition by December 2011. However, shareholders allege that Diamond Foods lacked any reasonable basis for this timeframe. It was not until November 1, 2011 that Diamond Foods finally disclosed that their acquisition of Pringles would be delayed until the first half of 2012 due to internal investigations of the above allegations. In reaction to this news, Diamond Foods shares declines $ 11,33 per share, or 17.67%, to close on November 2, 2011 at $ 52.79 per share, on unusually heavy trading volume.

Tom Moffitt, the head strength and conditioning coach for LSU Tigers football players, gives a how to on the back squat. The most important aspect of squatting is heavy squats. You got to calculate an attitude that you want to have before squatting. I tell our players all the time, especially squatting heavy, because if I’m not mentally or emotionally into it then it doesn’t matter how much weight is on the bar, I’m not going to do well at it. So, first is the mental aspect of it, and then the next step that’s very important is the set-up. We want our guys to have not a really wide grip, we feel like if I have a tghter closer grip then my upper body, my traps and my shoulders are going to have a better base to put the bar on. The next thing is when our guys take the wight off the rack, I only want them steping back two steps, one step with the right, and one with the left. Because, when training with heavy weights the closer you are to the rack, the safer that lift is going to be.””

Nine cash awards ranging from $ 500 to $ 2000 will be given to the highest-ranking entrants in three categories of call centers: small, medium and large.

Winners will be determined by the comparison and ranking of key performance indicator data submitted by entrants. What makes this contest unique is the comparison across all industries and centers of the same size. Typically, centers are benchmarked against other industry peers to offer an in-depth analysis of the current state of the center.

Comparisons inside and outside the industry allow managers to track the continually changing best practices of not only their select industry but also across all industries. As part of the contest BenchmarkPortal offers a complimentary review of the data to validate the information provided and to also show each center the performance gaps and cost associated with such comparisons.

To enter the contest or view more information about the contest, please visit our website here.

All participants will receive a 22-page copy of their Key Benchmarking Indicator Benchmarking Survey report and readout with a certified expert.

?These survey reports are invaluable,? said BenchmarkPortal CEO Bruce Belfiore.

?They enable us to identify performance gaps and areas of weakness and strength in the centers. They provide a roadmap for improving effectiveness, efficiency, customer satisfaction and, very often, ROI.?

The Top 100 companies from each group will also be authorized to use BenchmarkPortal?s Top 100 Seal on marketing material.

Call Centers that want to compete need to submit the required data to BenchmarkPortal before Jan. 31, when the contest closes. The winners and Top 100 companies will be announced by March 31st, 2012.
